'Gogga' still breaking the mouldComment on this story
There has never been anything conventional about Paul Adams. From his bowling action to being the youngest Test cricketer South Africa has produced and now being the youngest Cape Cobras coach at 35.
We caught up with "Gogga" to discuss whether he will be tempted to ever play himself, his mate Herschelle Gibbs's Cobras future and what's up with that strange "beard"?
Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe gave your brother-in-law Wendell Parsons $200 000 when he won Big Brother Amplified. Did he at least take you out for a drink?
I don't think I've seen him since ... wait ... hold on ... aah ... we definitely had some when he was here the last time. Yes, it was after the show. We definitely shared a couple of drinks, and a few stories about what happens "behind the scenes" in the Big Brother house. It was a good night, perhaps that's why I couldn't remember it (laughs).
How much of a fright did you get when a brick was lodged into your windscreen last week?
My nerves were shattered, hey! Absolutely! My brother was actually the one driving, so I just ducked. One of the scarier experiences of my life.
When you began your playing career, it was all loud music and fast cars. Has Paul Adams slowed down over the intervening years?
Very much. I have definitely slowed down. It's a bit difficult to fit all those sub-woofers into my boot now between the pram, the stroller and the bicycles. When we made the decision to start a family, it really changed my life, and I have matured a great deal since.
The Proteas' current Test spinner Imran Tahir is just 18 months younger than you. Does it still hurt that your Test career came to such an abrupt and early end?
I made peace with that a long time ago. When I retired, I made the conscious decision to give coaching my best shot, and I threw all my energies into trying to make a success of the next phase of my cricket career.
So if Robin Peterson or Dane Piedt are injured or suffer a sudden loss of form, you won't be tempted to play yourself for the Cobras?
(Laughs) I still have the odd bowl in the nets, to keep the arm well-greased, but I don't think that need will ever arise. I would have sufficient confidence in the next guy in line, whether it is from the amateur teams or a club side to do the job required.
Is there any particular coach that you have admired, and said "I want to coach like him"?
I have been fortunate that I have played international cricket, and at a high level for a number of years, where I was exposed to some very top coaches. I don't think one particular individual, but more a range of coaches that I learnt from over the years, and taken a small tip from each one.
Did you have any personal self-doubt about applying for the Cobras job, and if so, who did you consult beforehand?
I won't say self-doubt, more like a nervous apprehension. I have a group of people, without mentioning any names besides my close family, that I consult whenever I make big decisions. My wife Adrianna and I discussed it for a while, and we both live by the motto of "no regrets", so I didn't want to think later about "what if" I don't apply. With that in mind, the decision was made that I would give it a full go.
Do you and Salieg Nackerdien share a good relationship and will you be able to manage him, considering he was a leading contender for your post?
I've worked with Salieg since I've started coaching, and even when I was still playing, he was already the Cobras assistant coach. So he knows me very well, as a coach and a person, and I know him too. He would obviously have been disappointed at not having been awarded the top post, but such is the quality of the man that he will be right alongside me in the trenches. We have common goals for Western Cape cricket.
Did you think your rise to becoming a franchise coach would be this rapid?
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be in charge of a franchise team at 35. But I've now been given the opportunity, and I am sure as hell going to give it 100%.
How will Mark Boucher fit into your team dynamic now that Dane Vilas has been appointed Cobras vice-captain?
I've had a chat with Mark and he really is still excited about playing after his international career draws to a close. He will have a mentoring role here at the Cobras, and he really wants to help a guy like Dane fulfil his immense potential.
Who was the first person to call you "Gogga"?
Brian McMillan. He first saw me at the nets, and said "you look like a Gogga" because of my action. And then ahead of my first WP game against Northerns at Centurion, while we were warming up, commentator Kotie Grove was walking around, and asked "who is that?" Eric Simons and Mac were there, and immediately answered "Gogga".
Spinners are obviously your forté. Of the current crop of young spinners emerging in South Africa, who has the brightest future?
(Warriors off-spinner) Simon Harmer. He is really promising. He took over 50 wickets last season, and as an off-spinner, that's even more impressive. He's got really big hands, and big fingers, and gives the ball a real rip!
Will you impose a curfew on all your players while on tour, considering you had your fair share of good moments during your playing career?
I definitely did enjoy a few good nights, but this forms part of my entire coaching philosophy. I want to create an environment where players feel they are being treated like adults, and thereby conduct themselves like adults. There is place for a good night out, but I want each player to start taking personal responsibility. I am no school teacher.
Is there still space for Herschelle Herman Gibbs at the Cobras?
That's a tough question. Herschelle hasn't been back to Cape Town for a while, and I am waiting to sit down with him to find out exactly where he is in his career at the moment and what does he still have left to offer the Cobras.
Which of winning trophies for the Cobras or producing players for South Africa is more important to you?
I think these two factors work hand-in-hand. When a team is successful, and is winning trophies, players automatically thrive in that environment and put in performances that attract the attention of the national selectors.
Are there areas within your squad that you are particularly concerned about?
We have a very balanced squad here at the Cobras, but the fast-bowling resources do worry me a bit. There was some talk of possibly signing West Indian Tino Best, but I've put my faith in our local bowlers, and we've had senior guys like Charl Langeveldt and Johann Louw really putting some young bowlers with potential through their paces this winter.
What's with the thinly trimmed beard Paul, does your wife like it?
(Laughs) I wouldn't really call it a beard, but yeah, Adi does like it. I've asked her on numerous occasions must I remove it, and I'm constantly greeted with a negative.
Do you tweet, and if so, what is your Twitter handle?
Yes I do, and it really is me! @pauladams39
Which sportsmen would you least likely want to be stuck in a lift with?
WWE wrestler Mark Henry. I don't think the lift will be big enough for both of us! (laughs)
Which sportswoman would you most likely want to be stuck in a lift with?
Chris Evert.
Tell us something about Paul Adams we don't know ...
I know how to make a mean potjie. The pot is always empty when I've made one. I'm not sure if that's because of the taste of the food or the fact that everybody is starving because I take so long (laughs again).
Best ball you have ever seen?
It has to be Shane Warne's "Ball from Hell" to Mike Gatting in the Ashes.
Will the Stormers' win the Super Rugby title?
They have been criticised for the style of rugby they are playing, but it sure is effective because they just can't stop winning. Ons almal Storm saam!
What colour is your pyjamas?
(Laughs) I definitely wear pyjamas, brown and green. Those are my favourites. – Cape Times

People I'm glad I'm not: President Barack Obama and this poor guy, who is protesting the obviously phony Iranian election under threat of arrest and/or worse. How to handle what is essentially a coup in a volatile country whose illegal leadership is also hoping to obtain nuclear supremacy and hopes for the immolation of Israel?
I watched live as Christiane Amanpour implicitly challenged Ahmadinejad to guarantee the safety of his rival Mir Hossein Moussavi, who is now under house arrest, and I have to say I'm more impressed with her and more fearful of Ahmadinejad than ever. It was high comedy to watch the vile man grin as he claimed Iran was stable, the election's results should not be questioned and that his people have "nearly absolute freedom."
"We have nothing to hide," he told an Arab female reporter...who was required to be almost entirely covered except for her face. She asked her question after effusively praising him for his win, something an asshat reporter from El Pais also did—"I love you guys!" he gushed, saying he'd been around Tehran since the 1970s revolution.

Stocks rose sharply on Thursday, driving the Dow and S&P 500 to fresh 18-month highs, as Qualcomm and Best Buy boosted their profit outlooks and financials surged for a second day.
Shares of Citigroup Inc gained 5.1 percent to $4.36 after Bloomberg News reported the Treasury could unveil a plan next month for the sale of its stake in the big bank.
Wireless chip maker Qualcomm Inc , which raised its second-quarter earnings outlook, led the Nasdaq.
Electronics retailer Best Buy Co forecast stronger-than-expected earnings for the current year and reported quarterly results that were above estimates, pushing up its shares 5.2 percent to $43.31 and lifting shares of electronics parts makers, including Corning .
People are looking to earnings right now to see how consumers (are doing) and whether the recovery is taking hold, said Giri Cherukuri, head trader at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> was up 111.25 points, or 1.03 percent, at 10,947.40. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> was up 12.03 points, or 1.03 percent, at 1,179.75. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> was up 30.76 points, or 1.28 percent, at 2,429.52.
The Dow and S&P 500 rose to their highest in about 18 months, while the Nasdaq advanced to its best level in about 19 months.
First-quarter S&P 500 earnings reports, due in the coming weeks, are forecast to show year-over-year gains of 36.6 percent, according to estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters.
Qualcomm's stock rose 6 percent to $42.61.
Also on the Nasdaq, shares of software company Oracle rose 1.6 percent to $26.18 ahead of its results, expected after Thursday's market close.
Corning, which makes glass for liquid crystal displays, jumped 3 percent to $20.05.
Other financial shares on the rise Thursday included Bank of America , up 3.9 percent at $18.26. It was the second day of strong gains for the bank, which on Wednesday said it plans to offer about $3 billion in loan forgiveness to about 45,000 troubled home buyers.
The S&P financial index <.GSPF> was up 2.3 percent on the day and is up 11.1 percent for the month so far.
Adding to the positive tone, data showed the number of U.S. workers filing new applications for unemployment insurance fell sharply last week.

Directly opposite Chris Lucas' new restaurant Baby, Top Paddock is the latest addition to Church street's reinvention as an eating out precinct. It's a sophisticated looking place with marble table tops, a huge central bar and sculptural lighting. I loved the flower arrangements and muted black, white and grey colour palette used in the fit out.
|Eggs Benedict at Top Paddock
The menu offers something a bit different from your usual drill. Sure you can order eggs anyway you like but when you get to the sides instead of bacon there's ham hock and instead of smoked salmon you'll spot gin and lime cured ocean trout. The dishes pack an incredible flavour wallop while fulfilling all the right comforting and sustaining breakfast options.
|Inside Top Paddock
Meat-and-Three-Veg couldn't go past his standard Eggs Benedict ($16) with a side of mushrooms ($3) but the big, juicy field mushrooms and slow cooked chunks of ham hock really set it apart. Unfortunately the poached eggs erred on the side of overcooked and so the yolks were soft rather than runny.
|The beautifully presented kingfish with fried chilli egg (egg removed) at Top Paddock
One of the most stunning looking dishes at Top Paddock had to be the Kingfish with chilli fried egg ($18). a fillet of pearly Kingfish was topped with a just fried egg and served with sweet heirloom tomatoes, avocado and micro greens arranged on the plate like a Michael Bras inspired still life.
|Watermelon juice and latte at Top Paddock
Importantly the coffee ($3.80) which is house blended is excellent. It's from Five Senses and my cafe latte was great with a full bodied depth and lingering caramel taste. There's also some good fresh juice combinations (I liked the watermelon, pineapple $6) and old school style milkshakes ($6). As it was the opening weekend we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table but hopefully the crowds will die down and the chef in charge of poaching eggs will get his timing perfect. When that happens you can safely say that Toleman, Clarke and Rozakeas, the consummate cafe operators, have done it again.

I'll only head there once you confirm the poached eggs are perfect 😉
Looks like a great new cafe though!
Jules said at 12:44 am on February 4th, 2013:
Great timing! – going there for lunch on thursday. Shame about the poached eggs, hopefully it was a one off
MoMo and Coco Dessert Correspondents said at 9:30 am on February 4th, 2013:
Isn't this just yet another Melbourne cafe with yet another saccharine dose of hype? Apart from a different name, they are all cut from the same boring cloth……
Paul said at 3:30 am on February 5th, 2013:
Certainly sounds worth a try. Might head in on Saturday for breakfast. Will be sure to avoid the poached eggs though!
cara waters said at 10:26 am on February 5th, 2013:
Sophie – Hopefully we just had a bad batch. Everything else was good.
Jules – Interested to hear what you think.
Momo and Coco – It did get a lot of hype and perhaps it is a bit of a tried and true formula but trust me when you have lived somewhere with hardly any good cafes (London!) you appreciate tehm.
Paul – The other dish that looked really good had anchovies and parma ham. Interested to hear your take.
Jeane M. said at 4:07 am on February 7th, 2013:
Looks really inviting! I love what you have ordered in here specially the eggs benedict craving for some now. Got my eye on your next posts.

The kingfish dish is just gorgeous! Looking forward to popping by to check it out, but wary of weekend queues…how fortunate that it's a local for you!

Smoking ban may be subject to changes
SAN ANGELO, Texas - San Angelo City Councilwoman Charlotte Farmer said Tuesday she wants the council to look at exempting small, neighborhood bars from the recently voter-approved smoking ban.
At the end of its all-day meeting Tuesday, the San Angelo City Council voted to bring back the smoking ban ordinance at one of its next meetings so it can discuss and possibly take action on amending it.
Farmer said she wanted city staff to look into an amendment that would exclude bars based on maximum capacity to prevent smaller bars with a "smoking culture" from going out of business.
"I would like for us to look at the smaller bars out there," Farmer said. "Because I'm not interested in putting anyone out of business."
Councilman Paul Alexander said after the meeting that exempting any bars would constitute a very significant change to the ordinance, which San Angelo voters approved by more than 60 percent in the Nov. 2 general election.
"I'm surprised," he said. "I think it's a pretty big can of worms there."
Each council member brought specific ideas for amendments to the ordinance, including certain non-substantive changes to its wording so that it will be consistent with the San Angelo City Charter.
To the relief of Mimi Staha, the owner of Colonel's Pipe and Cigar Shop, the council also decided to look at exempting her shop from the ordinance. As written, the ordinance would ban smoking in her shop because it is in a strip center — something Staha has said would negatively impact her business because customers are allowed to sample products.
"I am relieved," said Staha, who sat through the entire meeting waiting to hear the council's decision.
The council also voted to review the portion of the ordinance dealing with hotels and possibly amend it to fit the version of the ordinance the city prepared as part of the negotiation process. That version allowed hotels to permit smoking in 25 percent of their rooms, as long as they are "on the same floor" and "contiguous to each other," and took out the requirement that all smoking rooms be phased out after four years.
Other potential amendment items include the enforcement provision that requires employees to ask anyone who violates the ban by smoking to stop smoking or leave the premises. Mayor Alvin New said he thinks this could present a safety issue for employees in isolated cases. New said he would like to see the ordinance amended to include a provision that would not require employees to take any action other than telling offenders that they are legally required to call a law enforcement officer.
As it is, the provision could "put employees in a bad place," New said.
The council will discuss — and possibly take action on the amendments — at one of its upcoming meetings.

WARNING: Though there's no dongs or jugs in the video above, the audio alone will still get you fired.
Last Friday, the Food and Drug Administration said that the ExtenZe pills marketed as "natural male enhancement" actually contain tadalafil and sildenafil, the active chemical ingredients in Cialis and Viagra. And all this time we thought ExtenZe would only make your debt bigger.
Actually – the FDA warned about FAKE ExtenZE pills that contained those substances.
Fact check please –
*Sigh* can we not, at least, stick with genuine fraudulent products, rather than resorting to counterfeit ones?

The release of recent guidelines for high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes in the U.S. has been accompanied by great noise and concerns, both in the academic circuits and the lay press. For persons aged 40 to75 years, with LDL cholesterol levels between 70–189 mg/dL and 7.5% or higher estimated 10-year risk, the peril of a global "statinization" has been advocated, predicting a 70% increase of statin use in this otherwise healthy people. A minority of the Eight Joint National Committee panel disagreed with the recommendation to increase the target systolic blood pressure from 140 to 150 mmHg in persons aged 60 years or older without diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. The 2013-American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists algorithm and consensus statement on diabetes has been criticized with particular concerns about transparency, conflicts of interest, group composition, and the abundant use of personal judgment and experience instead of rigorous methodology. Separate careers for experts who collect evidence from persons who write the actual guidelines seems a good opportunity in order to attenuate the noise associated with release of new guidelines, especially those that counter prior practice.

Working parents, plump kids?Comment on this story
London - Children whose parents both work when they are very young are more likely to be overweight, research shows.
A study of hundreds of families showed a clear link between the parents' working habits and the children's size, with the pre-school years particularly important.
Child obesity experts said it is vital that parents think about what their toddlers are eating and give nurseries and grandparents strict rules about rationing of treats.
American researchers analysed data from a US study in which hundreds of children were regularly weighed and measured between the ages of two and 15.
Their mothers were asked periodically if they were working and if their partner was employed.
The results showed that children tended to be fatter when a mother or both parents worked, with the effect strongest in the pre-school years and when both parents worked.
Although the differences in weight were small, they increased the longer the parents worked, the journal Social Science & Medicine reports.
Researcher Taryn Morrissey, of the American University in Washington DC, said it can be difficult to parents to balance their work and family responsibilities. - Daily Mail

Your final team project will give you a chance to show off what you have learned (and will be learning over the rest of the semester) by applying it to a domain of your choice. Your four-person team will design and develop an application, for which you will need to decide who your users are, what they will be able to accomplish, and how they will accomplish it. At the core of what you are doing there should be a 3D UI that supports selection, manipulation, travel, and wayfinding within some domain. You have a lot of freedom in making those decisions, but we will expect that what you design will emphasize what has been covered in this course. You can build a game, or a visualization system, or an AR browser, or.... Basically anything. Whatever you do, your work will be graded based on how well it shows off what you have learned in 4172. (Please read that last sentence again.)
Your project should be built using Unity and Vuforia on an Android or iOS device. You are also welcome to optionally support communication between that device and external processing or data resources, or use multiple networked devices running your Unity app using a desktop machine running Unity as a server. Thus, your project could involve collaboration between multiple users. (If you want to support networking, please talk to us.) If you want to use any other devices or libraries, please talk to us.
Your final project proposal should be presented through some form of presentation software (e.g., Powerpoint or Acrobat), and should last four minutes, not including time for answering questions from your fellow class members and us. Your presentation should make clear the high-level goals of your application; how you currently expect the work to be divided among your team members; the interaction techniques that you expect to use for selection, manipulation, travel, and wayfinding; how users will interact with your application (see below); and any questions that you are trying to resolve. To minimize the time it takes between teams, you will need to provide us with your presentation material by noon the day of the class at which it is due, uploading your presentation to CourseWorks, as described below.
As you craft your final project proposal, we would like to make sure that you are thinking carefully about your application in terms of the users for whom you are designing it and what they will be doing as they use it. To phrase this more formally, we would like you to create two personas and two use scenarios for your application. A persona is a fictitious person that you will make up to represent a particular class of users that you expect to support. Defining personas, each of whom will have a name, age, and brief life story, will enable you to think and talk more concretely about a specific user. A use scenario is a narrative description of how your application is used to perform a coherent set of tasks by one (or more, for collaborative applications) persona. Each of your personas should be involved in at least one of your scenarios. Please see this explanation of use scenarios and personas.
For each persona, a one-slide description in your presentation should be enough. For each scenario, you will probably want to use a series of slides in which you present a storyboard that shows how the scenario unfolds. We don't expect you to have written any code at this point, so simple hand drawings and text are all you will need. Videos of paper prototypes are also fine. And, if you prefer, a live performance is fine, too (though please shoot some pictures in advance to include in your slides).
Please name your presentation file [YourTeamName]_proposal.ext, where "ext" is the extension for that filetype. If you have a video, please name it [YourTeamName]_proposalVideo.ext. Here's how to submit your presentation through CourseWorks:
For each in-class progress report, please provide an update, of up to four minutes in length, on what your team has done since the week before. It's fine to begin with a one- or two-sentence recap of what your project is, but please don't make this a revised version of your project proposal. You should describe what you've done over the past week (including any revisions of your goals), what you expect to accomplish over the coming week, and how this positions your team relative to finishing.
As you did for the project proposal, please use some kind of presentation software. As you move past report 1, we'll look forward to seeing videos or live demos of preliminary parts of your project.
To minimize the time it takes between teams, you will need to provide us with your presentation material by noon the day of the class at which it is due, uploading your presentation to CourseWorks, as described below. The one exception will be for live demos, which you can run on your own device(s) without having to provide them to us in advance. However, if you intend do a live demo, it's essential that you make sure to practice it to fit within the time available, and know how to make it display on the projector. Electronic classrooms such as 233 SW Mudd are usually unlocked at all times, so you can stop by at off hours to test.
For each progress report, please name your presentation file [YourTeamName]_progressPresentation[N].ext, where "N" is the progress report number (1–3) and "ext" is the extension for that filetype. If you have a video, please name it [YourTeamName]_progressVideo[N].ext. Then, submit your progress report on CourseWorks, following the same steps you followed for submitting your proposal.
To help your users understand how your UI works, you should submit two kinds of documentation: a written description and a video demonstration. Please also include a screen shot and one-paragraph description. Here's more detail:
Written description. Write a document that describes how to use your system and why you designed it the way that you did. The grade you receive will depend in part on the rationale behind your choice of techniques, justified in terms of the material covered in class, in the assigned readings, and in any additional material that you have consulted. You should include screen shots in your description, integrated into the document. There is no minimum length; however, your document should fully explain your user interface and design choices. Your description should be submitted as a PDF file, although Word files will also be accepted.
Video demonstration. Create a narrated video demonstration (at most four minutes in length) that shows your system in action. (Please see the guidelines from your last assignment.)
Screen shot, paragraph, and permission. Please provide a representative, full-resolution, screen shot of your project (png or jpg) and a brief, one-paragraph overview to include on our course project overview page. If you would like to have your names listed next to your screenshot on the overview page and on the course video that we will create, please also give me your permission to do that in the form of the sentence: "[YOUR NAMES] are willing to have their names appear next to their presentation of their work on the project web page and video for COMS W4172."
In addition to the material that you hand in, your team will be preparing a live presentation of your work that will take place on TBA, starting at TBA in TBA. Your presentation should provide an overview of your design concepts, followed by or integrated with a live demo of your system. Refreshments will be provided, and we'd like each of you to be there for all the presentations. We will have at most 14 minutes per team, during which your team should be prepared to present a total of 9 minutes of material and then field questions and comments from the course staff and your fellow students. Please practice in advance to make sure that your presentation runs smoothly and on time! And, make sure that
Please bring a copy of your video [not just a link to its URL] to the presentation on your laptop. This will provide you with a fallback if you encounter problems with your live demo. We will also give you a USB stick to which we would like you to copy your video, so that (a) we do not have to download it and (b) we get an original high-quality copy.
Your submission should include your complete Unity project (but, no executables or Xcode project directories), your written description, your video demonstration, and your screen shot, one-paragraph overview, and permission to use your media and names for our projects web page. We would also appreciate your including any additional files you will use during your presentation (e.g., PowerPoint files). It is your responsibility to make sure that any file you submit is virus-free. Note, again, that any screen captures should be integrated into your written description, and not included as separate images. Each file should include your name and UNI at the beginning.
Your submission should include:
Your written description.
Your video demonstration. We strongly recommend you upload your video to a video-hosting site, a file-hosting site, or as a separate upload to your CourseWorks Dropbox for 4172.
Please compress all files in your submission (with the exception of the video) into a second parent archive file named [YourTeamName]_finalProject.[zip|tar|gz|rar]. Please remember to include all the items listed above. Remove any large extraneous files (e.g., raw video footage or screen captures) that will bloat your submission.
Please verify that you can run your executable code by first extracting a copy of this archive to a location on your computer outside the directory tree where you did your development. Then, Build from within Unity and attempt to deploy to your mobile device. Similarly, if you're uploading your video, then extract and play it, or if you're hosting your video on a video site, make sure it's playable through the URL you provide.
Submission will be done through CourseWorks. Here are the steps:
Please try to submit before the deadline since CourseWorks can sometimes become busy and slow. You may not use any late days for the final project.
Your grade for this project will be determined in part by the quality of the user interface that you implement, evaluated using the heuristics you applied in Assignment 2: http://www.useit.com/papers/heuristic/heuristic_list.html.
Enabling Extended Tracking can make it possible to work in a much larger volume.
Depending upon the size of the Image Targets you are using in this assignment, the angle with which they are viewed, and the lighting, camera position and orientation computed by the tracking software can change noticeably from one frame to another, resulting in "jitter." Consequently, the greater the distance between a vertex of an instance "attached" to an Image Target and the Image Target itself, the greater will be the variation in that vertex's position from one frame to another. For example, if you are implementing pointing with a visible "ray" emanating from an Image Target, this will be more evident in the jittering of the distant tip of the ray than in the base of the ray. In general, your scene will be more stable if (a) there are more completely unobscured, clearly viewed features that are seen simultaneously by your camera, (b) the vertices in your scene are closer to the Image Targets that define their positions, (c) the Image Targets are closer to the camera, and the (d) the Image Targets are not viewed from an extreme glancing angle.
Whatever you do, let the tracking software determine the position and orientation of the ground target and any other targets. That is, you should not require the physical camera to be at a hardwired position and orientation relative to any target.
Tracking with optical targets is sensitive to lighting and the quality and rigidity of the printed target. A dirty, crumpled, folded, or curled target will significantly decrease the quality with which you can track.
Avoid camera poses that view targets from oblique glancing angles that can cause the ink in the targets to appear shiny. Ensure that your Image Targets are perfectly flat. (You will get the best results if you glue them to cardboard or other firm material.) Please see the Image Targets guide on the Vuforia Resources site to learn how to create high quality targets.
You'll get the best results working in a brightly lit environment.
If you're having trouble implementing your desired interactions with targets, consider temporarily implementing "backup" debug interactions that use the touchscreen or 2D GUI control panels to verify the non-optical-tracking aspects of your code (e.g., your scene graph or transformations). This will help isolate problems with general program logic, scene graph design, and 3D transformations that you might erroneously attribute to optical tracking.
When using Unity Play Mode, if Vuforia doesn't have a profile for the camera you're using, you should select the shortest possible exposure time. A longer exposure time will result in blurry images during motion, which in turn will cause poor tracking. With plenty of light and a short exposure time, you should be able to get results using Vuforia as stable as these, which were run using the ALVAR tracking package on what is now a seven-year-old laptop with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 graphics, a 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, and 2GB RAM—hardly a heroic machine by today's standards. If your laptop camera has an adjustable focus, then set it so that the general area where you are performing your interactions is as clearly focused as possible. You will probably find it useful to disable any "automatic" brightness, contrast, or exposure options. (When using a built-in laptop camera, you may want to set ARCamera→QCARBehaviour→"Mirror Video Background".)

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] new recipe book sent for review, in this instance Sud De France: The Food and Cooking of The Languedoc, rather requires a try out of some of the dishes. Yesterday evening the Poulet aux Pyrenees (Chicken with Almonds and Pine Nuts) resulted in a rather tasty autumnal dish, all the more remarkable for its simplicity and the use of cheap chicken wings and thighs. Not much room remained for dessert; but the Tart au Chocolate recipe seemed too simple to ignore. It is rather a dense pud, really just the one small(ish) slice would suffice with a little creme fraiche on the side. A couple of raspberries as a garnish would work too.The author, Caroline Conran, admits that French pre-made puff pastry is superior (ie more buttery) than the English equivalent (although I find the JusRoll pastries rather good). Conran also states that "I first made this tart when I had friends staying and, as I was busy, I misread the original recipe and put in twice as much chocolate." I'm unsure if the recipe is therefore the correct version or the double the chocolate version. Either way it is rather good.
Tart Au Chocolate
A rich and rather decadent Southern French Tart au Chocolat; the crisp puff pastry base adding a lovely contrast to the rich chocolate filling.
- 375g dark chocolate
- 75g unsalted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 35g caster sugar
- 250g butter puff pastry
- Oven to 200C.
- Roll out the pastry and line a 22cm tart tin (original recipe states 38cm)
- Line with baking paper, fill with baking beans, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove beans and paper and bake for a further 10 minutes until evenly cooked.
- Reduce heat to 150C
- Melt chocolate with the butter over a bowl over a pan of hot water. Mix well.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and very frothy, slowly incorporate into the melted chocolate.
- Spoon mixture onto the tart base, spread evenly.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove form oven and allow to cool.
decorate with a dusting of icing sugar and shavings of dark chocolate. Serve with creme fraiche and perhaps some fresh raspberries.

Small Bathroom Layout Design and Ideas
Decorate a bathroom is little bit different from living room or bedroom decorating, its need to be planned correctly because the furniture can be removed if it has been placed, such as the closet, bathtub and shower they must be planned first before you decide to installing it. Here's some tips to organize small bathroom layout easily.
- Draw the concept; how you want it to be. Put the fixed features such as door, window, etc. on its intended place.
- Arrange the placement of other apparatus in a way that maximize the space.
- Good way to put the bath is closer to the wall under the window or an a sloped ceiling.
- In spite of its having more probability of being damp, it's still a good idea to put furniture inside the bath room especially slim-shaped furniture.
- Choose the right storage unit for personal items.
These are some photos of bathroom design layout in various styles and color combination for your inspiration, happy decorate.

Agent visits strengthen Ohio Farm Bureau, Nationwide partnership
Twice a year, Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) coordinates a Nationwide Agent Visitation Week, which is an opportunity for Ohio Farm Bureau to reach out to the 456 Nationwide agents in Ohio to show appreciation for their support of the partnership between Nationwide and OFBF.
The visits provide county Farm Bureaus a chance to resupply agencies with Farm Bureau promotional materials and membership applications, plus It is also a chance to update agents and their staff on any new Farm Bureau activity or member services, like the new GM program. Its all about strengthening our partnership, said Brian Peach, senior director of field operations for Ohio Farm Bureau.
OFBF organization directors routinely keep in touch with all of the Nationwide agents in their area, but in highly populated urban areas this can be difficult due to the large number of agents. During agent visitation week, some Ohio Farm Bureau state office staff step in to lend a hand.
For example, Cuyahoga County has 66 agents. In order to keep in touch with them all, especially during agent visitation week, Cuyahoga County Organization Director Anita Cook needed a little help.
Cara Lawson, OFBF director of community engagement, was one of about a dozen state staff members to help with agent visits. She traveled to Cuyahoga County and visited with 12 agents throughout the day, updating them on news with Farm Bureau, and thanking them for their partnership.
Cook prepared Lawson for the visits. I like to talk to the agents about supporting local farmers and Ohio agriculture, and that many of us want to know where our food is coming from. Our organization does all of this, said Cook. Even if they are not interested in it, their potential clients might be and this could be a major selling point for them to get the client (to become a Farm Bureau member).
Membership and the Nationwide partnership are priorities for Ohio Farm Bureau members and employees alike.
Agent visitation week takes place in the midst of volunteer membership drives statewide. Another round of visits will take place the week of July 16.

According to Doug Smith, Toronto is "close" to reaching an agreement in principle with a free agent for some, if not all, of the team's mid-level salary cap exception. He doesn't know who it is or who it could be, but does mention names like Matt Barnes, Ronnie Brewer, Shannon Brown and J.J Redick as being available. A full MLE for any of those players would be a big salary boost for them.

Nettleden is a village in Hertfordshire, England. It is in the Chiltern Hills, about four miles north west of Hemel Hempstead, surrounded by Little Gaddesden, Great Gaddesden and Frithsden. Nettleden with Potten End is a civil parish in Dacorum District.
The village name of Nettleden is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means 'valley where nettles grow'. In manorial records of the late Twelfth century the village was recorded as Neteleydene.
Anciently the village was a hamlet in the parish of Pitstone in Buckinghamshire, though the boundary of the hamlet was surrounded by the county of Hertfordshire. Nettleden was transferred from Buckinghamshire to Hertfordshire, and made a parish in its own right, in 1895. The church, St Lawrence, was first mentioned in 1285 when it became a part of the endowment of Ashridge Monastery. The church, except for the tower, was largely rebuilt in brick by John, earl of Bridgewater in 1811. Until 1895 it was a chapelry of Pitstone.
When Nettleden became a parish the hamlet of St Margaret's, formerly belonging to Ivinghoe in Buckinghamshire, was connected to Nettleden. At this place Henry de Blois bishop of Winchester founded the nunnery St Margaret's de Bosco. After the Dissolution in 1539 St Margaret's came in private hands. During the Second World War the St Margaret's Camp was a London County Council Senior Boys School for evacuees - boys from London. The school closed one week after the end of the war in Europe when all the boys were returned to their homes in London. Since 1984 it is the place of the Amaravati Buddhist Monastery.
Today the village sits in a very attractive location, on the periphery of Ashridge. From Nettleden to Frithsden goes the Roman Lane or Spooky Lane, named after the ghost of an Ashridge monk. In the early 19th century the lane was dug deep in the hill with high revetted walls on both sides and a bridge was built over the lane, in order that people using the driveway leading to Ashridge do not meet the villagers. Another feature of Nettleden is the steep Pipers Hill east of the village.

- "Thanks for the ride, Cranky! I guess we're even now. You dented my tank and wobbled my wheels and I strained your hook!"
- — Thomas
Swing King Cranky is a magazine story.
One day, Thomas was delivering some goods to the Docks. Cranky lifted up Thomas' truck, but he didn't know that Thomas was not uncoupled. Thomas' back end is lifted into the air before, finally, the coupling snaps. Thomas lands on his sides, denting his tanks and making his wheels wobble. Cranky is sorry and lifts Thomas into the air with some chains. Thomas enjoyed swaying back and forth in the wind, but Cranky's hook was becoming sore and soon has to put Thomas down. Thomas declares that they are now even, Cranky has damaged Thomas' tanks and wheels and Thomas has made Cranky's hook sore! Thomas rushes to the sheds to tell the other engines all about his day.

- Sir Topham Hatt (cameo)
- Readers were able to interact with the story with the tools that came free with the magazine.
- Thomas should have been uncoupled from the trucks before they were lifted.
- Thomas should not have been allowed to go home without having his "wobbly wheels" inspected.
- When lifted by Cranky, Thomas is not secured properly.

Burlington performance artist Kate Donnelly, winner of the 2013 Barbara Smail Award. / Courtesy photo
Last winter Kate Donnelly suprised commuters by going out on the street in gradually changing costumes for 'Also There: A Performance for the Commuter.' / Courtesy photo
Burlington City Arts announced the latest winner Friday evening of its annual Barbara Smail Award: Its Kate Donnelly, a Burlington artist perhaps best known for Also There: A Performance for the Commuter, for which she donned an unusual, gradually changing costume and walked the citys streets during the morning rush last winter. She wrote on her blog at the time that Also There was meant to remind the audience of the absurd and unpredictable and to notice the anomalies and embrace adventure.
The Barbara Smail Award, created in 2003 and given each year to a mid-career Vermont artist, was named in honor of a Burlington-area artist who died in 2001. Donnelly recently answered questions by email from the Free Press about what it means to win the BCA award:
Burlington Free Press: What was your reaction when you found out you won the Barbara Smail Award?
Kate Donnelly: When DJ Hellerman (curator of The BCA Center) told me that I had won the Barbara Smail Award this year I was quite surprised and of course very honored. Its wonderful to be recognized in this way by members of the community in which you live and work.
BFP: The award comes with a $1,500 stipend and $1,000 to use at The BCA Center. What plans do you have for the cash prize?
KD: I am just now beginning a new performance piece that will take place in residential neighborhoods over the next few months. I am also beginning work on a video project based on the performance. The stipend will likely be used to help pay for the costs involved in the video production.
BFP: The award also guarantees the BCA will host an exhibition of your work, and asks in return that you donate artwork to the BCA. As your work is more performance art than stationary art, how do you think youll be able to meet that requirement?
KD: The audience is a central concern in my current work. Performance art asks the audience to engage art from a different perspective than what galleries typically display. With that in mind, without knowing what it is I will do to meet that requirement, the art that I donate is likely to expand beyond the traditional "object" concepts.

Orioles 10, Athletics 3
Chris Davis had two hits and collected his 118th RBI, and the Baltimore Orioles hit three home runs in a 10-3 rout of the visiting Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
J.J. Hardy, Nick Markakis and Nate McLouth connected for the Orioles, who took two of three from Oakland to move within two games of the Athletics in the race for the second AL wild-card slot.
Oakland had gone 105 straight games since April 25 without allowing 10 runs. Rookie Sonny Gray (1-2) absorbed the brunt of the damage, yielding six runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Scott Feldman (4-3) gave up one run in five innings for the Orioles.
In his first three major league starts, Gray allowed a total of four earned runs and 10 hits over 21 innings. In this one, he didn't make it out of the fourth inning.
The 2011 first-round draft pick was vying to become the first major leaguer since Wayne Simpson in 1970 to begin his career with four consecutive starts of six innings while permitting four hits or fewer. That pursuit ended in the second, when the right-hander gave up three hits and fell behind 5-1.
Around the majors
Dodgers right-hander Josh Beckett has declared himself ahead of schedule after thoracic outlet syndrome surgery and expects to be ready for the start of spring training.
• Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was rested against the Marlins as a precaution after being bothered by soreness in his rib area.

OK. let's talk about a series of episodic stories, specifically Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. We'll take a look at Season One because if you are going to write a series, you will start by writing a 'Season One'...a group of stories that introduce the main characters and their situation and get the plot rolling. Season One will have an overall arc (we'll call it the A Story) that will take the entire season to be resolved.
It will also have subplots (we'll call these the B stories) that run over multiple stories.
Each story itself will be in MOTW (Monster Of The Week) format and we will call it the C story.
This is a good time to throw out a definition. What we are talking about in this blog is a series of stories, not a serialized novel. A serialized novel is a novel that is released in chunks. What we are talking about is a series where every story (episode) is complete in itself. Every story will have a C story and the C story (the MOTW story) will be resolved in that story. If the difference between a serialized novel and an episodic series isn't clear, leave a comment or email me and I will post more detail on the difference between the two.
So, to summarize....
A Story. Arcs over the entire series. Usually involves the most dangerous enemy to the hero.
B Stories. Arcs over many episodes. Usually sparked by the personalities of the main characters. Possibly romantic entanglements.
C story. The Monster Of The Week. Resolved in each episode. Does not arc.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer by Joss Whedon
Written by: Joss Whedon, Steven S DeKnight, Jane Espenson, David Fury, Drew Goddard, Drew Greenberg, David Greenwalt, Rebecca Rand Kirshner, Marti Noxon and Doug Petrie.
Episode 1 & 2: Welcome to the Hellmouth/The Harvest
Synopsis: Buffy Summers arrives at Sunnydale and we learn that she is The Slayer, a chosen one destined to fight vampires and demons. She meets Giles, (her new Watcher) and Willow and Xander. Through Giles, Buffy learns of a coming Harvest led by a strong vampire called The Master. He is trapped in an extra-diensional space but is working toward his own release.
A Story. The situation with The Master is set up. The Master is the'big bad' and Buffy's fight against him will not be resolved until the last episode of the series.
B Stories. Xander is attracted to Buffy but she is attracted to the mysterious Angel. Willow has been in love with Xander since they knew each other as kids but she has never told him.
C Story. Willow is taken by vampires. Buffy saves her and fights other vampires throughout the episode. At the end of the episode, she kills Luke, a strong vampire minion of The Master.
So here we have everything set up. We know who Buffy and her pals are and what their relationships to each other is. We know about The Master and we have had some Buffy action and fighting to tie up the C Story.
As for the characters, Joss Whedon has set this up so that the characters are all very different in outlook and personalities.
Buffy Summers. Strong, kick-ass vampire slayer.
Willow Rosenberg. Meek and mild bookish girl. (although she arcs in later seasons and changes)
Rupert Giles. Watcher from The Council. Fatherly and protective toward Buffy. Knowledgable in occult matters.
Xander Harris. Joker and clown with a crush on Buffy.
Angel/Angelus. Vampire who works on the side of good due to a gypsy curse that has given him a soul. Loves Buffy.
Cordelia Chase. Spoilt and rich girl. Vapid and opposed to 'geeks'. (Willow, Xander and Buffy)
So you can see that the series is built on fertile soil.
I suggest you watch Buffy and see how the writers create stories from the initial set up. You will see how clues are laid down in certain episodes that will become realized later in the season. (In a later season, a clue is laid down that isn't realized until the following season.)
If Buffy isn't your thing, watch your favorite show with the same analytical eye.
Then think about your own series, get a notebook and think about these things:
What is your A Story?
What are your B Stories?
What are your C stories?
Who is your main character?
Who are your supporting characters and what about their personalities/quirks will drive the B Stories?
What situation are your characters in that will make them interact/work together throughout your series?

Create a Fuller Bust with Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation - Missoula, Butte, Helena, Montana
Clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed to create fuller breasts, to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, or to reconstruct a breast that has been lost due to mastectomy or injury. If you would like to learn more about breast augmentation, please contact Missoula surgeon Stephen Hardy* of Northwest Plastic Surgery Associates.
About Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a procedure to enlarge and enhance the shape of or improve the symmetry of the breasts through the surgical placement of implants. Breast augmentation does not correct sagging breasts. A breast lift may be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation to address this issue. Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure that is recommended for healthy women who do not smoke or have medical conditions that could impair healing. It's also important that breast augmentation candidates have a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for improving their body image.
A breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Hardy* will include:
- A discussion of your goals and an evaluation of your individual case
- The options available to you and how they will shape your total treatment cost
- The likely outcomes of breast augmentation and any risks or potential complications involved
- The course of treatment recommended for you by Dr. Hardy*
Silicone Implants
Breast implants are shells made of silicone rubber filled with silicone gel that are surgically implanted under breast tissue or chest muscle in breast augmentations and reconstructions. Throughout the 40 years that cosmetic breast augmentation with silicone implants has been an accepted surgical procedure in the United States, it has been found to be safe and effective and has consistently improved the quality of patients' lives. Silicone implants have not, however, been without controversy and we advise you to consult with Dr. Hardy* about their use in your case.
Contact Northwest Plastic Surgery Associates
If you are choosing a breast augmentation surgeon and are interested in a consultation with Dr. Hardy*, contact our Missoula office today. A member of our office would be happy to answer your questions and schedule a time for you to meet Dr. Hardy* and discuss your options.

OUR VIEW | Ashby, Childs in Port Orchard
Two contested races for Port Orchard City Council are a contrast. In the first, for Position 2, are two highly qualified candidates that express consistent visions and policy goals for the city. In the second, for the At-Large position, a relative newcomer is challenging a successful incumbent on, more or less, a platform of being disgruntled with the community itself.

Did you know? If you are visiting Key West and will be partaking in any kind of water-related activity (that covers just about everyone right?), check out our affiliate site, www.rentgopros.com, for information on renting a
waterproof and underwater camera, the highly popular GoPro HD Hero, for your trip. You can rent one for the day, several days, or an entire week. If you've been thinking about purchasing a GoPro, but aren't sure if it's right for you and want to demo the camera first and try it out before you buy, we offer that luxury as well. Brand new, the GoPro set goes for about $300 and can be purchased downtown at Diver's Direct at the corner of Greene and Simonton. But if you just want to use it for the day to capture your dive trips, snorkeling adventures, jet ski rides, kayak tour, or kiteboarding lesson, this is a great option. The basic rental starts at just under 30 bucks if you have your own SD card and don't want the insurance waiver. With a 16GB SD card (more than enough space to capture everything you could possibly want to do), a chest, head, or wrist mount, a lanyard, and the damage waiver, you're looking at about 20 dollars more.
We will gladly deliver and pick up to your hotel, charter boat, or other location of your choice. Go to www.rentgopros.com for more info and booking.

Setting Up Your Printer
If you have just purchased a new printer, you probably want to get it set up so that you can start using it as soon as possible. Printers are essential because they have a variety of uses. In order to set up your printer properly, use the following information as a guide, courtesy of 123inkjets.
Setting up your printer will differ depending on whether you own a Mac or a PC. Regardless of what kind of operating system you have, the first step is to unpack your printer and physically attach it to your computer using the proper USB and port connections. Your computer will need to "recognize" that there is a printer attached to its system, and it can only do this if the printer is properly connected. Once the printer is connected, you can install the software.
Click on your system preferences or control panel and look for the "add a printer" icon. An install wizard program will appear on your screen. You can use the wizard to take you through the necessary steps needed in order to properly set up your printer. You will have to determine whether or not the printer is going to be set up through the computer or through a network connection. Most home computers are directly connected to the printer (unless it is a wireless printer), and most office computers are all connected to the printer through a network connection. The wizard will then ask you what kind of brand and model your printer is. Usually, the wizard will list the brand and the model as a printer option on your computer screen. If it is the right brand and model, select the printer and click "enter." Some wizard programs will ask you what the "port" connection is. If you do not know, call the computer customer service line so that an experienced individual can take you through the proper steps. If the wizard program can detect the port connection on its own, then you don't need to do a thing.
Once the setup wizard is complete, you will then be asked if there is any additional software to install. The software will most likely have to be installed through a separate CD. Insert the CD into your computer. Click on the CD icon once your computer has recognized it and then click "install." Your computer will automatically begin to install the software and the appropriate files. Once the install is complete, your computer will then ask you if you would like to print a test page. This is a good idea! You want to make sure that your new printer is working properly. Click "yes" to print a test page. Your printer, if it is properly connected, will then print out a page with CYMK and black lines. This will show that your ink cartridge is full and that it is working correctly. After your page has printed, take a moment to review it. Make sure all of the colored lines are clear, precise and visible. If they are, you can begin using your printer.

Wall Street comes back to work after a long holiday weekend. The market saw a gain for the key averages for the week, as well as for the month of August.
- World stock markets have fallen Tuesday because of uncertainty about what authorities in the U.S., China and Europe might do to deal with a souring global economy. Stocks had posted gains on Monday based on assumptions that a contraction in China's manufacturing for August would be followed by the announcement of new measures to bolster growth. But the People's Bank of China appears to be resisting calls for more aggressive measures. European stocks have followed Asian markets lower.
- A weaker dollar boosted oil prices Tuesday even as a resumption of refinery operations in the Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac eased concerns over supply disruptions. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said Monday that 800,000 barrels per day of oil production remained offline, 58 percent of Gulf of Mexico production. No major damage as reported.
- A key reading on the U.S. manufacturing sector is due today from the Institute for Supply Management. Also today, figures on August car sales are expected from the major manufacturers.
- Toys R Us is launching a layaway program Tuesday that waives its service fee and minimum purchase requirement. The move is intended to counter tough competition from online retailers. Retailers will be pulling out all the stops for customers as the intensely competitive holiday season approaches.

Toshiba and Matsushita Announce World's Slimmest LCD Screen: .99mm
Weren't we just gushing about LG and Philips paring down a cellphone screen to 1.3mm? Now Toshiba and Matsushita have topped (bottomed?) that, with an even-thinner LCD screen that's less than a millimeter thick.

Plymouth Argyle reject call from Portsmouth for Dockyard Derby date
Posted: June 20, 2012|
PLYMOUTH Argyle rejected a call from Portsmouth to play their Capital One Cup first round tie at Home Park on Saturday, August 11.
Instead, the 'Dockyard Derby' will take place on Tuesday, August 14, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
Argyle manager Carl Fletcher pushed hard for the fixture to be played then because it fitted in with his planning for the start of the new season.
His Portsmouth counterpart, Michael Appleton, however, had hoped it would take place on August 11, which is a blank date for both clubs.
He suggested the Pilgrims thought playing the match in midweek would give them a competitive edge.
Argyle have confirmed admission prices for the Capital One Cup clash will be £10 for adults and £5 for concessions.
The first 'Dockyard Derby' at Home Park in 14 years will be Argyle's opening game of the new season.
The 2012/13 Football League campaign does not start until Saturday, August 18 so it does not coincide with the Olympic Games in London. The Capital One Cup first round ties have been scheduled for the week commencing August 13.
But the Football League were prepared to allow matches to take place on August 11 as long as both clubs were in agreement.
Had Argyle played Portsmouth on the Saturday afternoon there might have been a better attendance, but August 14 was always the preferred option for Fletcher.
He told Herald Sport: "It's ideal really. It's good for us in terms of what we have planned out preparation-wise for pre-season."
Portsmouth, who were relegated from the Championship last term and have been in administration since February, must now make a midweek trip along the south coast to play Argyle.
Appleton said: "I had a conversation with Plymouth in terms of when they wanted the fixture to be played and they insisted it stays midweek.
"At the end of the day, they are the home team and it's in their hands, but it's a bit of a shame.
"Moving it back to that Saturday would be ideal from our point of view because it's a long trip, although I can see why they want it midweek.
"They know we will have to travel a long way so I have got an idea that comes into their thinking a little bit.
"Still, it is what it is. We were in their hands and this is their decision so we have just got to deal with it as best as we possibly can.
"I have just got to look at it and decide how we now handle this and whether we travel down on the day of the game or whatever."
Argyle's final warm-up match before the visit of Portsmouth will be a friendly against League One outfit Preston North End at Home Park on Wednesday, August 8.
The Pilgrims have also arranged away games against Yeovil Town (July 21), Truro City (July 24), Weston-super-Mare (July 27) and Tiverton Town (July 31).
Fletcher revealed a couple more friendlies could be added to that list.
He said: "We will be doing a lot of work on the training pitch in pre-season and have got some good local sides to play.
"Fingers crossed we get through pre-season smoothly, with no injuries or anything like that, and we get all the work done that we want to get done."
Argyle, Exeter and Torquay will be rivals in League Two next season, the first time they have been in the same division as each other since 2001/02.
That was when Paul Sturrock's Pilgrims topped the table with a record-setting 102 points.
Argyle are away to Torquay on September 8, and host the Gulls in the return match on Boxing Day.
The always fiercely-contested Devon derbies against Exeter will be at St James' Park on December 15 and at Home Park on Easter Saturday, March 30.
Fletcher said: "It's great for the fans we have got the local derbies. I think there will be real full attendances for the games.
"Where we are in the country, we are a long way from everyone else and it's nice for all the local clubs to be together and to compete with each other.
"I think this season we are at home on Boxing Day for the first time since I have been here.
"The game three days after (against Wycombe Wanderers) is also at home, which is a real bonus.
"It will be good for us, especially the players who have got families. You get to spend more time with your kids on Christmas Day."

Subban is a good D men but 9 millions per season for a player there not in the top ten for the Norris this years. Yes , he win the the years before He don't have prove is constancy to get that much money, I think maybe in the range of 7 millions. If a team offer 9 million to this RFA , better to take the 4 first round pick and have space for other player
NHL Rumors IV: Callahan, Stastny, Ducks and Subban
- Pierre LeBrun: Not finalized yet, but Ryan Callahan's contract extension with the Lightning will be for six years and $34.8 million, a $5.8 million salary cap hit.
- Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Avs Joe Sakic said late last night that Paul Stasnty wants to "see what's out there." Stastny's camp promised to circle back and give the Avs the right of first refusal. Dater speculates the Avs have offered Stastny a deal somewhere between $5 and $6 million.
- Pierre LeBrun: Paul Stastny's camp has already received a bunch of calls regarding the pending free agent. The Avs will still be in the mix.
- Eric Stephens of the OC Register: Ducks GM Bob Murray wants to address their center position and defense as he feels he's behind I that area compared to other top contenders. He's armed with two first picks, two seconds and their 2015 first rounder.
"That's in the back of my mind all the time," Murray said. "Where is that guy, can you find that guy, and can you afford that guy? … Is the time now, or do we have to step back and wait to see how these kids develop?
"It's a little bit of a game right now in terms of where you really are."
Realistic options include: Ryan Kesler and Jason Spezza.
Good but unrealistic options: Paul Stastny, Eric Staal and Joe Thornton.
- Brian Wilde: Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin knows that he underpaid P.K. Subban before and that he'll have to pay up now. Could get eight years and $9 million per season.
8 Comments
no way in H*LL they or anyone else would pay 9 million per season for him, please find a more accurate rumor
Subban is so overrated it's not even funny anymore. 9m a season goes to players like Toews or Kopitar. Players that are winning multiple times at all levels. Subban has won a what? First and second round of post season ONCE? Ok that's team success.So what ONE Norris in a shortened season even though Chara or Weber or Letang Keith Doughty or any of the the other 10 better Dman in the league got nothing.i do like his class act off the ice but that's where it ends.
either give him long term with less money or if you're gonna give him that much cash make it a three year deal. so much money and term is going to be his ruin. he will get lazy and be too happy and cushy with his pay that he wont care about hockey anymore. if its a three year deal he cant slack off and expect to keep getting paid. can't have your cake and eat it too pernell.
I laugh at Subban is overrated haha….ya, you're right most norris trophy winner are, huh? lol give your head a damn shake!
Get your head an examination Professionally!
If you think he's worth 9mil a season. WOW a Norris Trophy after 48 games WOW and he wasn't even a finalists this season. Your either a Habs fan or A Hockey Hype who just supports what he reads.Have a nice day
Great signing by SY in tampa. That contract gives Tampa room to sign RFA's, draft picks, and Steven Stamkos in the comming years. Hopefully Cally can stay heathy and have a productive career for tampa. Hope montreal can talk some sense P.K. he's definitly not worth that type of money. If he does some how find a way to sign 8.5 million plus it will kill cap space for many of the new up coming players in montreal.
he might take 5 mil and a stake in dole bananas

This is in response to "Same-sex marriage: Pediatricians would be put out of business" by Nancy Trenery [Letters, March 28].
I have solved your problem. You can rally up all of your biased church congregation and each have 12 children. Meanwhile the non-prejudiced, peaceful gays and lesbians can adopt some of the millions of children who need to be in nice safe homes and raised like respectable caring people.
Problem solved. We would need more pediatricians. No need to lose any more sleep over their jobs.

Baby Gramps will perform Wednesday at Cyber Cafe West in Binghamton.
- Filed Under
For the past few years, a strange musician with a long beard, gravelly voice and naughty sense of humor has stopped in our region on his travels around the world.
On Wednesday, the American original known as Baby Gramps will perform at Cyber Cafe West in Binghamton. He'll bring his battered National Steel Guitar and his grab bag of folk, jazz, old-time and blues songs - covers from the 1920s and '30s as well as originals.
Gramps has been performing music since the early 1960s, starting a fanbase in the Seattle area that has expanded worldwide. A master of both humorous wordplay and ...
