|LOW POWER TELEMETRY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A telemetry system is described in which a plurality of channels are coupled to a bus. A control subsystem controls the channels so that one of the channels presents to the bus during its designated time period a channel characteristic. The control subsystem interrogates in the analog domain each of the channels during its designated time period, and forms a signal representative of the channel characteristic. The control subsystem may combine one or more of the signals into a digital packet, and transmit the same over a network. Each channel in the telemetry system can include a sample-and-hold circuit, a variable resistor circuit, and a control element. The sample-and-hold circuit is configured to hold a sample of a signal. The variable resistor circuit is configured to present a variable impedance to one or more signal lines during a time period designated for the channel an impedance representative of the sample held by the sample-and-hold circuit. The control element is configured to control the variable resistor circuit to present to the one or more signal lines an open circuit equivalent impedance during times other than the time period designated for the channel. In some implementations, the channel also includes a switch which decouples the sample-and-hold circuit from the variable resistor circuit during times other than the time period designated for the channel. In some implementations, the control element is a programmable control element that is programmable with a unique channel identifier, and may include a timing element which is updated responsive to a control signal. The programmable control element determines that the designated time period for the channel is occurring or will occur based on a comparison of the contents of the timing element with the unique channel identifier. The control element can be a zero power control element.
|Methods for filling holes in printed wiring boards - The invention comprises methods for filling holes in printed wiring boards and printed wiring boards produced by these methods. The methods involve plating metal conductors inside the holes of the printed wiring boards while protecting the conducting surfaces of the printed wiring boards from being plated using photoresist film. The side surfaces of a printed wiring board are covered with photoresist. The photoresist is exposed to developing light, except the photoresist covering the holes on one side of the board is masked to prevent exposure of the holes to the developing light. The undeveloped photoresist covering the holes is removed. The board is subjected to a plating process, which deposits conductive materials in the holes, but the photoresist on the conducting surfaces of the board prevents conductive materials to be plated on the surfaces of the board.
|ENTANGLED-PHOTON RANGE FINDING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A method of determining a distance to an object is presented. A first photon and a second photon are simultaneously generated. The first photon is reflected off an object. The second photon is directed to an optical cavity. An arrival of the first photon is correlated with an arrival of the second photon, and the distance to the object is at least partially determined using the correlation.
|Hierarchical FPGA configuration - A system for configuring programmable logic devices includes a serial data bus, a first device to fan-out data signals on the serial data bus, a second device to fan-in data signals on the serial data bus, and a control device that uses the first device and the second device to configure the serial data bus. The system configures a set of programmable logic devices by using the control device to configure the serial data bus such that the set of programmable logic devices are in communication with the serial data bus, and by sending configuration information to the set of programmable logic devices. A method for configuring programmable logic devices includes configuring a first programmable logic device such that the first programmable logic device includes signaling logic to fan-out configuration information, and using the first programmable logic device to configure at least two secondary programmable logic devices in parallel using the signaling logic to fan-out configuration information.
|Apparatus and method for problem solving using intelligent agents - The present invention relates to a system and method for problem solving using intelligent agents. The intelligent agents may be embodied as processor-readable software code stored on a processor-readable medium. The intelligent agents may include a brain agent to parse the input and direct the parsed input query to other intelligent agents within the system. The apparatus and method may use, for example, a personality agent, a language agent, a knowledge agent, a mood agent, a visual agent, sound agent, a tactile agent, and a smell/taste agent and various connectors to external data sources or other intelligent systems to interpret questions and provide responses back to the user. The apparatus and method may further parse questions in a conceptual manner. The apparatus and method may further optimize its system performance by evolving with and reacting to specific user interactions. Thus, the present invention may be configured to receive a human question and to output a human answer.
|INCLINED AXIS GRAVITY GRADIOMETER - Systems for and methods of detecting gravitational acceleration and gravity gradients are disclosed. The systems and methods include gravity gradiometers whose axes are substantially horizontal. In comparison with prior art systems, the systems presently disclosed provide one or both of more accurate measurements for the same amount of space, and smaller space requirements with the same or better accuracy.

Bensalem police reported early Wednesday morning that two suspects have been arrested in a jewelry theft case and a vehicle they were looking for in the case has reportedly been recovered.
Bensalem police had reported that on Feb. 25 two men stole about $53,000 in jewelry from the Sears at Neshaminy Mall. One reportedly cut a cable that secured a spinning jewelry display case, loaded the entire case into a shopping cart, then fled in a red pickup truck driven by a second man.
Police on Tuesday asked for help in locating a red or orange pickup, likely a Nissan, which is believed to have been used in the heist.
The same vehicle, with ZC as the first two letters of the license plate, was believed to be used in a jewelry heist on Feb. 19, at a Philadelphia Wal-Mart. The amount taken in that heist is unknown.
Bensalem police did not immediately identify the suspects or connect them with the Philadelphia heist or a number of recent similar robberies reported in Lower Bucks County and Moorestown, N.J.
On Feb. 26, a jewelry design was stolen from K-Mart, 176 W. Street Road, Feasterville. The following day, police believe the same men entered the Sears at the Oxford Valley Mall in Middletown, cut a security cord on a spinning jewelry display case there and took off.
On Friday night, two men, who police believe are the same suspects in the other jewelry heists, entered a Kmart store in the 400 block of Route 38 in Moorestown at 8:30 p.m., cut the security cables on a freestanding jewelry display case and fled.
More to come on this developing story.

AbstractThe 6.7 billion human inhabitants of the earth have the ability to drastically alter ecosystems and the populations of species that have taken eons to evolve. By better understanding how our actions affect the environment, we stand a better chance of designing successful strategies to manage ecosystems sustainably. Toward this end, the Third Interagency Conference on Research in the Watersheds (ICRW) was convened in Estes Park, CO, on September 8-11, 2008. The Conference provided a forum to present adaptive management as a practical tool for learning how to manage complex ecosystems more sustainably. Further complexity introduced by spatially variable and continuously changing environmental drivers favors this management approach because of its emphasis on adaptation in response to changing conditions or ineffective actions. For climate change in particular, an adaptive approach can more effectively accommodate the uncertainty in future climate scenarios. Scenarios compiled by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are built on distinct economic, energy, and societal models. The scenarios predict potential changes in greenhouse gases, temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric aerosols, which would have direct or indirect impacts on the timing, volume, and quality of runoff, vegetation, snowpack, stream temperature, groundwater, thawing permafrost, and icecaps. Through presentations and field trips, researchers and stakeholders described how their findings and issues fit into the adaptive management 'learning by doing' paradigm of Assess > Design > Implement > Monitor > Evaluate > Adjust > Assess.

Statutes can be confusing, and take several re-reads, I also look for other examples like in how line (a) (b) (c) applies to those individuals and can see how line (d) concerning ccw holders applies the same as the the others. Common Sense!

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Know the laws (as others have said) and do NOT carry anywhere that it is illegal. Now school/work/whatever POLICIES are different (IMHO) you have to weigh the risk of carrying and being caught and of not carrying and being attacked.
OBEY THE LAW first and foremost.
If the law forbids carry then policy becomes a mute point.
If the policy is contrary to the law then you will have to decide which road or avenue to take.
Err on the side of caution unless you want to gamble with your freedom and/or your permit.
My Opinion for what its worth...
The link to Mo Statutes is currently down or I would post a direct quote.
No public buses for me because they are such high risk. Been 30 years since I've been on a public bus anyway.

"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Thank you for the thoughtful replies.
To clarify, I am in Oregon, and it is NOT illegal for me to carry a gun at either university (once I get my CHL in 2 weeks).
So, these are only policies that I'm being asked to follow, not the law.
The libertarian in me wants to simply ignore the policies.
The intelligent person who normally follows the rules will probably leave his gun at home during the day.
still44, for God's sake and your own, CARRY THAT GUN!
You can get an education only if you are alive.
Always follow the rules. If you do not like the rules, find another place to attend school and/or work.

one thing that i've learned is that "there's a waiver for everything." try talking to the administrators at your school, and explain the situation. if they deny you, you'll at least be able to demonstrate that you tried.
i'm going through something similar, working on a military base (not near as bad as your situation though). i have to stop carrying concealed before entering the gate, securing the weapon and ammo in separate cases in my vehicle. i then reverse the process on the way out. if i thought i really needed to carry concealed on base (which i don't), i'd go to the base commander for an exception to policy.
other than that, only you can choose how much personal risk you are willing to take believing in the words of the 2nd amendment.
Actually there are quite a few. Most are in Utah but they are there and if you want to be able to carry and attend a school you can find them.

Challenges Facing Folding Carton Printers
Graphic Packaging Intl.'s Cheerios Bring On The Gold 2010 Olympics Shoot Out for General Mills won PPC's Paperboard Package of the Year in its 2011 awards competition.
Recyclable Logo for Paperboard
Growing challenges
Folding carton companies share the challenges and uncertainty that all U.S. businesses face. To offset increasing healthcare costs and an expected increase in federal taxes, Kyle Eldred, president of Frankston Packaging in Southlake, Texas, found a way to increase competitiveness in one division by on-shoring—finding a U.S.-based firm with a more competitive cost structure. "Everybody wins," he says, "because we still serve our customer at a profit and another U.S. company has increased volume and profitability."
Zaas employs a successful "one-stop shop" strategy. By offering customers the ability to source both rigid boxes and folding cartons from his company, he feels he has found a competitive advantage. He adds, "Lead times become shorter and shorter every year and we continue to try to be flexible, which makes it easy to do business with us."
According to Zaas, some companies have difficulty hiring qualified full-time employees, which can result in the use of more temporary labor. He says that his company is fortunate. "We are pleased that a substantial majority of our employees have over ten years of experience and are dedicated to producing quality boxes on-time, even when I ask them to do the impossible," he states.
In the beverage industry, according to the 2012 PPC Trends Report, plastic bottles and flexible packaging are continuing to take market share from paperboard. Even paper-based aseptic milk containers, which account for 70 percent of the world's milk packaging, are seeing increased competition from plastic PET containers and stand-up flexible pouches.
Nevertheless, RISI, the internationally recognized research firm, forecasts beverages among the highest growth folding carton end-use categories during the next five years. Some of the challenge is being met by innovation. For example, the world's first pulp-molded wine bottle is being introduced in the U.K. at the end of the year. Developed by GreenBottle, it weighs about 60 g, compared with 400+ g for its glass equivalent, and can be recycled with newspapers or even composted.

I went in for my 36 week check up at 9am and had super high blood pressure - 168/100. The nurse checked me two more times and it wasn't going down. The doctor came in and checked baby's heart rate and measured my belly and that's all good. Checked my cervix and I'm dilated to 3cm. I got sent over to L&D for monitoring for my blood pressure and testing for pre elcampsia. I've also had some insane swelling in my feet, although they're doing pretty well today.
So far, my blood pressure has gone down to 143/88, which is still higher than what my OB wants to see, and it's now almost 11pm. We had an ultrasound done to check on baby and fluids. Fluids looked a little low so I'm now on IV even though I've already drank more than 64 oz of water today. The tech was also trying to catch baby "practice breathing" or using his diaphragm. But that didn't happen. Everything else looked great - heart beat and all that. But since things weren't 100% we're getting another ultrasound in the morning. If things aren't so good, I won't be going home until we have the baby.
So here I am, bored out of my mind! I really don't have a question... but are there any other moms out there stuck in L&D right now? What's going on with you all? Any encouraging words would also be appreciated :)

Indianapolis: From Naptown to Super City
I have long touted the sports strategy that Indianapolis used to revitalize its downtown as a model for cities to follow in terms of strategy led economic and community development. I really think it sets the benchmark in terms of how to do it, and it has been very successful.
Indy is hosting the Super Bowl on Sunday, something that is locally seen as a sort of crowning achievement of the 40 year sports journey. As part of that, the Indianapolis Star and public TV station WFYI produced an hour long documentary on the journey called "Naptown to Super City." I think it's a must watch for anyone who is trying to figure out to revitalize their own downtown. read more »
Major Metropolitan Commuting Trends: 2000-2010
As we indicated in the last article, solo automobile commuting reached an all time record in the United States in 2010, increasing by 7.8 million commuters. At the same time, huge losses were sustained by carpooling, while the largest gain was in working at home, which includes telecommuting. Transit and bicycling also added commuters. This continues many of the basic trends toward more personalized employment access that we have seen since 1960. read more »
Declining Birthrates, Expanded Bureaucracy: Is U.S. Going European?
To President Barack Obama and many other Democrats, Europe continues to exercise something of a fatal attraction. The "European dream" embraced by these politicians — as well as by many pundits, academics and policy analysts — usually consists of an America governed by an expanded bureaucracy, connected by high-speed trains and following a tough green energy policy.
One hopes that the current crisis gripping the E.U. will give even the most devoted Europhiles pause about the wisdom of such mimicry. Yet the deadliest European disease the U.S. must avoid is that of persistent demographic decline. read more »
Moving from the Coast
For years both government and media have been advancing the notion that America's coastal counties are obtaining most of the population growth at the expense of interior counties. For example, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported in the 1990s: Coastal areas are crowded and becoming more so every day. More than 139 million people–about 53% of the national total–reside along the narrow coastal fringes. read more »

Rethinking Urban Dynamics: Lessons from the Census
Much has been made of the vaunted "back to the city" movement by "the young and restless," young professionals, the creative class, empty nesters and others were voting with their feet in favor of cities over suburbs. Although there were bright spots, the Census 2010 results show that the trend was very overblown, affecting mostly downtown and near downtown areas, while outlying ones bled population. One culprit for this discrepancy seems to be that the intra-census estimates supplied by the Census Bureau were inflated – in some cases very inflated. read more »
What The Census Tells Us About America's Future
With the release of results for over 20 states, the 2010 Census has provided some strong indicators as to the real evolution of the country's demography. In short, they reveal that Americans are continuing to disperse, becoming more ethnically diverse and leaning toward to what might be called "opportunity" regions.
Below is a summary of the most significant findings to date, followed by an assessment of what this all might mean for the coming decade.
Point One: America is becoming more suburban. read more »
Census 2010: Urbanizing Indiana
The first Census results for Indiana were recently released, painting a picture of an increasingly metropolitan state. Indianapolis continues to be the growth champion as its strong economy attracted people from the rest of the state, as well as increasingly diverse populations. Although the core of Indianapolis fell well below expectations, its population did not fall like that of Chicago. In a switch from some other regions, the outer suburbs also lagged expectations while inner suburbs boasted a robust performance. read more »

This weekend at the Television Critics Association, the executive producer of NBC's upcoming "Constantine" series, based on the DC Comics character, had some tough questions to answer. Two character details that had yet to be formally addressed by the show's team were finally discussed at the panel of TV critics, and the answers are not likely to please fans.
In addition to being a demon fighter, the John Constantine of the comic book series is bisexual. That aspect of the character's identity, according to executive producer Daniel Cerone, has been jettisoned.
"In those comic books, John Constantine aged in real time," Cerone said (via EW). "Within this tome of three decades [of comics] there might have been one or two issues where he's seen getting out of bed with a man. So [maybe] 20 years from now? But there are no immediate plans."
What Cerone is essentially saying is that the "bi" aspect of Constantine's sexuality was not present enough in the comics to make the crossover into the show, but that doesn't change the fact that he was a bisexual character that will likely never be portrayed as such on the television series.
If Constantine's bisexuality is really no biggie, like Cerone suggests, what would the harm be of including it in the show? By leaving that aspect of Constantine on the cutting room floor, the series creators (and likely the network) are making a statement. Bisexuality is something that needlessly complicates a character. It's the kind of "fix" that doesn't sit well alongside the progressive choices of more daring shows like "Orange Is the New Black."
The way Cerone phrases his answer leaves the door open for a relationship between Constantine and another man, but from the sound of his "20 years" remark, that doesn't seem very likely.
Another topic of conversation was Constantine's serious smoking habit, which already had fans concerned, thanks to NBC's strong anti-smoking stance. David S. Goyer, another of the show's executive producers, confirmed that the TV Constantine is still a smoker, but in a way that meets the network's standards.
On the topic of Constantine smoking, Cerone said, "Within that framework we're going to be very honest to the character."
I guess we'll just have to see how honest the show is when it debuts in the fall.

Michael Anglin
Thank you. Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Silver Standard first quarter 2010 conference call, reviewing our financial performance and updating our projects. On the call this morning we have George Paspalas, Senior Vice President Operations; Joe Ovsenek, Senior Vice President Corporate Development; Tom Yip, Chief Financial Officer; Kristen Riddell, Vice President, Corporate Secretary and General Counsel; Ken McNaughton, Vice President Exploration.
Our financial statements as well as our management discussion analysis together with project updates, have been filed on SEDAR and are available on our website. We have a webcast accompanying our comments today and it can be found at a web location referenced in the yesterday's news release. We'll be making forward looking statements on the call today and I advise you to refer to our forward-looking disclosure accompanying our news releases out on SEDAR.
Our focus in the first quarter was a continuing ramp-up to the Pirquitas mill complex where we achieved commercial production on November 1. We are now starting to process sulphide ore to the mill, for which it is designed. We are starting to see results in the numbers from the mine. George Paspalas our Senior Vice President Operations will describe Pirquitas in more detail in his presentation.
Among the highlights the first quarter with the sale of the non conservative property in British Columbia was $15 million. Silvertip sales, is part of the on going rationalization of our portfolio. These funds will augment our exploration and development activities and help to ensure that we are well funded to achieve the objectives of our strategic plan to grow the company.
Returning to the primary services call, our first quarter 2010 results I'd like to turn the call over to Tom Yip our CFO, who'll speak through our first quarter financial results. Tom?
Tom Yip
Thanks Mike. For the quarter we recorded a net loss of $7.6 million or $0.10 per share, versus a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.04 per share in 2009. This was a first full quarter of operations and as Mike has mentioned we continue to wrap up the mill facilities processing for phosphate and sulphide ores encountered in the pit. Or our operating costs spent our Pirquitas are in line with our expectations. The lower production has resulted in a high cost per ounce of silver produced.
During the quarter we produced 609,000 ounces of silver, and with a drop down of our finished goods inventory from December we sold 907,000 ounces on an average price of $17.43 per ounce. Of the transportation deductions and refining costs, revenues were $11.5 million. Copper sales were $20.04 million and depreciation and amortization were 7.8, for a loss from mine operations of $16.7 million.
G&A costs were $5.3 million, the increase over the prior years relates to additional employees that were added throughout 2009. Severance, recruiting and bonuses are repaid in the quarter. Sulphide compensation was $2 million, similar to the prior year as we continue to amortize the Black-Scholes value of previously-granted options. Interest expense of $2.4 million relates to the convertible debenture, which was previously capitalized to the Pirquitas construction, that is now charged to the P&L. Often in these expenses during the quarter as Mike has mentioned, we sold the Silvertip property in Northern BC for a gain of $13.1 million as well as selling a portion of our share investments for a gain of 2.4. And lastly we had a $6.1 million recovery of future income taxes related to the loss from mine operations.
Turning to the cash flow, we began the year with $27 million and during the quarter we had a net increase of $76 million in our cash balance. For financing activities we sold $6.7 million common shares at a price of $17 per share for growth proceeds of a $114 million and after deducting fees and expenses we netted $108 million.
We used $16.2 million for operating activities, which was primarily the cash loss from mine operations of $9 million, G&A costs of $5.3 million and interest of $3.4. Investing activities include exploration and project spending of $4.8 million. At Pirquitas we paid down construction bills of $16.4 million. During the quarter we spent $3.9 million for refundable value added tax and in early April we filed our first applications with the tax authorities to begin the process of recovering our debt receivable. As I mentioned we sold the Silvertip property and share investments and received cash proceeds of $9.3 million.
We ended the quarter with $103 million in cash so as we continue optimizing our Pirquitas mine we are well positioned to advance our other key projects.

My adoption fees have been waived…that's means I'm free!
Diesel Diesel is about 7 months old and weighs 44 pounds. He is still very much a puppy at heart. He is crate trained but still working on some puppy issues. He really likes to chew on wooden objects, does puppy mouthing and isn't completely housetrained yet. He is great with other dogs, and people of all ages. Diesel was taken from his owner in August after suffering extensive burns from an unknown source. The scarring of his skin will be permanent. He is currently in a foster home and if you are interested in adopting him contact the shelter and we will make arrangements for you to meet him. In the words of his foster mom "I think he has one of the best personalities of any dog I have had in a very long time. He is a wonderful dog, and will be a fantastic addition to someone's home!"
Miss Mary I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 years old. I have spent over 1 ˝ years of that time (primarily caged) in a shelter in a neighboring county. The Cortland SPCA shelter manager found me and brought me to this shelter. Please do not put me in a cage. This room is much better than a cage, but I'd really like a home of my own. I'm usually very sweet, but being a normal cat, I can sometimes be sassy. That can be said about my attitude with cats as well as people. Won't you consider giving me a chance to enjoy the home I've waited so long for? My adoption fees have been waived…I'm free…well I will be if you take me home!
Panda Looking for a good hunter? Panda's your guy! He can live outdoors or indoors. Don't wait…he's eager to get started! His adoption fees are waived…he's free!
Sparkles Sparkles is about 8 years old and is a chubby 43 pounds. She has just the right amount of energy and likes other dogs as well as people. She is in foster care and if you are interested we can have her foster family contact you to arrange a meeting. Because of her age, her adoption fees are reduced.
Tiger Lily Tiger Lily is about 4 years old and a tiny 6 pounds. Life at the farm where she was abandoned was not very kind to her. She sustained an injury that required surgical repair and she has permanent damage to her right front elbow. Tiger Lily does not appreciate other cats, but despite her physical suffering, she has maintained her love for people. She would definitely like to be someone's lap warmer.
Buddy Buddy is less than a year old and weighs about 40 pounds. He is a happy, bouncy, playful, affectionate youngster who was not happy confined in a kennel at the shelter. He is currently enjoying the benefits of a loving foster home and two other canine companions. If you would like to meet him, please contact the shelter and we will put you in touch with the foster parents.
AVIS & AlAMO Avis and Alamo were abandoned by their owner. They were rescued together, and as you can see…really need to go home together. Both are very playful and affectionate. They're a BOGO deal…pay the adoption fee of $30 for one and the second one comes along for free.
TRACY Tracy needs an outdoor home. He came into the shelter as a stray during the bitter cold weather, but really doesn't like to be picked up and handled. He's 1 to 2 years old and gets along well with the other cats. Tracy is neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, treated for fleas and earmites, FeLV/FIV negative...and free to a good home.

Just look out for the lobster
We love… Devinely Gray
Drunken skating and the metaphysics of tennis
It's classic cinematic shorthand. A person eating lobster in a film is usually doing so for one reason: to communicate, at a stroke, that they are horribly snooty – or just plain loaded. It is a synecdoche for luxury living. Or at least it was.
A drop of rain could not affect sartorial standards at Royal Ascot today - and even a dog was appropriately dressed for Ladies' Day.

Nothing on the landscape of London dining so greets the spring as the array of restaurants that lines the Thames at Tower Bridge. When the daffodils are out in Hyde Park, and legs of spring lamb hang in the windows of Allen's and Lidgate's, then (as Chaucer might have put it) folk long to go dining al fresco. For 20 years, the Pont de le Tour has offered City locals and rich tourists a gorgeous view of the river from the terrace. Terence Conran's flagship eaterie started life in 1992. Since then it's been bought by the D&D group (which owns 19 London restaurants, including the Pont's less posh neighbours, the Blueprint Café, the Cantina and Butler's Wharf Chop House) and celebrates its 20th birthday in October. Inspired by the whiff of Easter spring in the air last week, I went to pay my respects.

The Problems of Restoring Land in Colombia

On Sunday, The New York Times reported on an issue in Colombia that has long been on LWR's priority list.

National Park Timeline
The history of our National Park system and other federal lands began in 1790 when the District of Columbia was formed. This included what now is part of our park system; the White House, the National Mall, and the National Capital Parks. But it was not until Yellowstone was installed as a National Park on March 1, 1872 that you could truly say that the National Park System was founded. And it was a great founding. The National Park Timeline here will be organized by current park unit, in alphabetical order, and include the dates of formation, and any other changes that may have occurred.

Today is the first day of fall, a beautiful season in Eastern Carolina. I've certainly had more than enough of the scorching heat of the summer, and the cooler weather is a great change of pace. This is the time of year when I want to be outdoors.
That's why it seemed so funny to me that my husband and I had trouble finding cushions for patio furniture this past weekend. At one of the big box home improvement stores, the section that normally has the outdoor patio furniture had Christmas trees. That seemed a little early to me. We went across the street to the other big box home improvement store, and they, too, had moved their inventory of patio furniture out of the showroom. The sales associate said patio furniture was "out of season."
I had to laugh to myself as we walked away, cushion-less. This is the season I most want to spend time relaxing outside. I love Christmas, but I'm nowhere near interested in decking the halls for the year yet. I usually wait until Thanksgiving passes to do that.
We did eventually find the cushions we were looking for, so I'm looking forward to afternoons in the slightly cooler fall air, without the harsh heat of the summer. Tis the season!

Dome Court Advantage on Road to the Final Four
Defending NCAA men's basketball champion Louisville is hoping the road to the Final Four goes through Indianapolis for the second straight season.
But there is another distinguishing feature that could give the Cardinals and the other teams in the Midwest regional (Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee) an edge: playing in Lucas Oil Stadium. That is because the home stadium of the NFL's Colts is the only regional site in this year's tournament that is a dome.
While fewer than half of the regional sites since 2005 have been domes, seven of the past nine champions advanced to the Final Four after playing in a dome in the regionals. This year's Final Four is at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, otherwise known as the dome that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones built.
How a team adapts to the unusual backdrop and setup of the court in a domed venue is one of the challenges of playing in a Final Four. But winning two games in a dome the week before the Final Four appears to help. The 2009 North Carolina and 2011 Connecticut championship teams had the lowest field-goal percentage in their title games of the nine previous winners. They are the only two teams over this span to win a title without advancing from a domed regional.
Consider last year's Final Four at Atlanta's Georgia Dome: Louisville and Michigan (which won its regional at AT&T Stadium) met in the national-title game after beating opponents that won regionals held in traditional basketball arenas. The previous season, Kentucky defeated Kansas in the national-championship game played at the Superdome in New Orleans after both teams advanced from a domed regional site.
Better Get Used to It
Seven of the past nine national champions advanced to the Final Four from a dome regional:

Question about Talking Kenny Plush
Try to hunt down rare/hard to find dolls, or just talk about the newest ones. Trade or buy rare plushies from other fans!

Question about Talking Kenny Plush
This is my first time on the forum, so I'm sorry if this sounds dumb xD. I recently bought a talking Kenny plush that says on the tag it was made in 2005. But I can't find any other details online, and it doesn't have a hang tag, just the one on his leg. I can provide pictures too, if that helps. I am a new collector, but my collection is rapidly growing. I just wanted to also see if I got a good find. Thanks, if anyone can help!

NERD Game Scores: Junior Guerra Split-Finger Jubilee Event
Devised originally in response to a challenge issued by sabermetric nobleman Rob Neyer, and expanded at the request of nobody, NERD scores represent an attempt to summarize in one number (and on a scale of 0-10) the likely aesthetic appeal or watchability, for the learned fan, of a player or team or game. Read more about the components of and formulae for NERD scores here.
Most Highly Rated Game
St. Louis at Milwaukee | 14:10 ET
Martinez (53.0 IP, 106 xFIP-) vs. Guerra (30.0 IP, 100 xFIP-)
Were one to view — like the author is currently viewing — the NERD game scores for today calculated down to the second decimal, what that one would find is that today's game between the Cardinals and Brewers actually isn't the most highly rated. That distinction — which is a strong word for what that is — belongs rather to the Boston-Baltimore encounter (6.09 NERD). The Houston-Arizona game (5.89 NERD) also possesses a higher score than this one (5.80 NERD). What neither of those contests offers, however, is the Brewers' Junior Guerra, which right-hander features not only one of the world's top split-finger fastballs, but also sufficient experience abroad to substitute periodically for Rick Steves on the latter's PBS travel program. Research indicates, for example, that Rick Steves visited San Marino long enough only to produce a five-minute video regarding it, while Guerra recorded over 60 innings as a pitcher there in 2014.

One year into his tenure as L'Oréal's chief executive officer, Jean-Paul Agon is getting the thumbs up from financial analysts.
This story first appeared in the May 18, 2007 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Those queried say he's a great manager with wide-reaching vision. But, they warn, L'Oréal faces challenges, particularly in the mass market and in the U.S.
Analysts concur the transition between Lindsay Owen-Jones—L'Oréal's former president and ceo—and Agon has been practically seamless.
"I think that there has been limited change, since Agon made it clear from the beginning that he believes in the power of the L'Oréal model, notably the focus on top-line growth," said Eva Quiroga, an analyst at UBS in London.
Still, an evolution has begun. "I would say Jean-Paul Agon is a bit more acquisitive. He puts a little more emphasis on driving efficiencies; there is more centralization going on with Agon than under Owen-Jones," said Sandy Beebee, an analyst at HSBC in New York. "From a branding perspective, Agon is moving the company toward focusing on fewer but larger introductions."
Indeed, Agon was largely credited with driving L'Oréal's acquisition of The Body Shop in 2006.
"When he took over one year ago, he said he will continue making out-of-the box acquisitions," said Michael Steib, an analyst in Morgan Stanley in London. "Clearly, he did one. It was met with a lot of skepticism at first, but when all is said and done, it was a good deal for L'Oréal financially."
Although The Body Shop's underlying profitability is lower than that of L'Oréal (an estimated 9 percent versus 16 percent), analysts say that's normal, since The Body Shop retails and therefore has lower margins than a pure beauty manufacturer.
"I am sure, over time, L'Oréal will [improve] The Body Shop's profitability," said Beebee.
"In the near term, the attraction is that The Body Shop has access to L'Oréal's expertise in R&D and product innovation. In the [immediate] term, there are opportunities to move some of the production under L'Oréal's roof," continued Quiroga.
Steib deems The Body Shop a major opportunity for L'Oréal, since it represents control of a distribution channel that doesn't overlap with its retail clients'. "It is a good way for L'Oréal to get hands-on feedback," said Steib. "The question then, of course, is: What's next? Will L'Oréal try different distribution channels?"
Numerous analysts believe selling through alternative channels, such as door-to-door, could be effective for L'Oréal in emerging markets.
In the meantime, there are numerous macro-hurdles facing the company. "The main challenge at the moment is bringing L'Oréal's top-line growth back into the 6 to 8 percent target range," said Quiroga. "Beyond that, there's the ongoing focus on industry-leading innovation, and the gradual stretching of existing brands into new categories and geographies should continue to secure that growth—with an aim to be number one (for instance, in mass market makeup in the U.S.). In addition, it would be good to continue seeing Agon make more growth-enhancing acquisitions along the lines of Matrix or Sanoflore."
Beebee also believes L'Oréal needs to be acquisitive on an ongoing basis over the next few years, particularly in personal care, since more players are moving into that category. And, to keep up with consumers' diversifying shopping channels, L'Oréal might do well to acquire a makeup artist brand or one strong in pharmacies, she said.
"I think the acquisition of Shiseido is one large deal L'Oréal could and should do…given the group leadership in a market known to be a key innovation hub with the highest levels of per-capita consumption and interesting demographics," added Quiroga, who said L'Oréal could further globalize the Shiseido brand.
"Beside that, I would expect deals in emerging markets, luxury products and up-and-coming niches, such as natural products," she continued.
Competition is heating up, from other brands, including private label, and in numerous categories, particularly the mass market, analysts say. P&G remains an ongoing threat to L'Oréal, but analysts agree that the French giant has the mettle and tools to fight it.
"L'Oréal has to do what it's traditionally good at—focusing on innovation and core brands," said Steib, who views the U.S. as one of L'Oréal's biggest challenges, especially in hair care. "I think if L'Oréal can get into the 6 to 8 percent sales growth range this year, it would be a big step in North America," he said.

Lowndes County Sheriff Press Release
On Friday, September 24, 2010 at approximately 09:00 a resident of Georgia Highway 376 in the Clyattville community returned home and noticed a person unknown to her standing on the rear deck of her neighbor's home. The neighbor is also a relative. Knowing that their relative was at work and that no one should be home, the complainant approached the residence. Upon doing so the male on the back deck and another male, who had been inside the residence, both fled the residence on foot. It was noticed that the residence had been burglarized. The complainant immediately called 9-1-1 and reported what she had seen.
Deputies and investigators from the Sheriff's Office responded to the area and began efforts to locate the two unknown males. The males were described as a white male with medium length hair and a Hispanic male. Certain items were taken from within the residence but were dropped by the males and recovered by Sheriff's deputies. An extensive effort to locate the males proved unsuccessful. A crime scene unit from the Sheriff's Office processed the scene for forensic evidence as this investigation continues.

What the FUCk is this HUMMing SOund
Poster Handle
Post Content
For the past month or so I have been hearing a very low level humming sound. No one else hears it and I'm starting to wonder WTF is going on. I hear it mostly at night and early morning, because I'm guessing it's the quiet time of the day (night).
This humming is not constant, it sounds like an electric motor trying to cycle. I've turned off all the curcuits in the house so I know it's not from within the house. I can even hear it when I'm out in the woods or at the neighbors house.
It's really starting to bug me out!
And no it's not tinnitus.

Snap broke first time out!
By GP from Los Angeles. CA on 4/29/2016
Fit: TRUE
This shoe is comfortable, however the snaps that hold the soft fuzzy side on, broke the first time I wore them, and both came off within a short time. Otherwise, this is a comfortable shoe, with plenty of padding. Too bad the insert isn't very sturdy.

Replacement for older pair
By IIIIs from SE Iowa on 12/16/2015
I have had another pair of these that I have worn for many years. They were completely worn out and so I was happy to get a new pair. The quality is great, the price was the best I could find on the internet.
Always go with the Original!!
By twestcrowe from Islip, NY on 12/1/2015
I have had knock-offs but believe me there is a difference in the weight and quality. I love these clogs. I wear them for work and they are excellent in my work area. The only drawback is your feet may sweat because they are so warm! Wear socks. If you don't you can pop the liners into the wash. They are great protection from banging my feet in my shop. I couldn't be without them!
She Loves Them
By Hubby from Molalla, OR on 11/18/2015
The service was great, the size was spot on, and she loves the color (Viola/Royal). She also likes not getting her feet wet when she steps outside in the morning. (And, she no longer steals mine.)
loves them -wears everyday to swim practice!

they are very cute, the sizing was a little on the big size for me but think the smaller side would have been too small, so I just kept them. I do like them, I put some heel snuggers in and that fixed the size issue.
Just what I was looking for...
By Reg from Newark, NJ on 9/26/2015
Great product! I use them for work when I let myou feet rest from wearing my work boots. The only thing about these slippers I don't like is my foot tends to slip out of the back when I walk - similar to regular open slippers... Nevertheless, I still find this product to be useful and just what I was looking for.

Love love love
By Susie from Melbourne, Australia on 7/9/2015
I wear these all day in the summer. I actually bought them just to wear to the pool but I end up wearing them all day. So comfortable. I love them.
Cute and Functional
By JL from San Diego, CA on 4/10/2015
Bought these Adrina flats for my grandma and she immediately loved them as soon as she tried them on. They're smaller than regular croc clogs when side by side, and stay on her feet better. I don't have to worry about her struggling to walk as they're fitted with some space for comfort. They allow her feet to breathe out, she doesn't slip when the floor is slightly wet, and they have a lovely appearance. I don't have anything negative to say about these, but I will be purchasing more of these.

Overall nice water shoes
By Avid Beach Bum from Fort Belvoir VA on 3/23/2015
Crocs shoes are nicely priced. This is the second pair of crocs women shoes I bought. The other lasts for several years so I thought to get a second pair from the same company. The fit is right and comfortable for walking on the beach. I expect this pair to last just as long as the original pair.
By Mia from Monroe, VA on 3/4/2015
These chocs are really comfortable, great fit and exactly what I was looking for. Great service provided by Swim Outlet.
So comfy!
By AJP from Marshall, MI on 1/11/2015
Love these shoes. Great to slip on when you just want to do some quick errands. Good arch support and plenty of toe room. They keep my feet warm and dry. I sometimes wear a 7 1/2, but the size 7 fit me perfectly even with athletic padded footies. One star off for the fact that they aren't very attractive on your feet, they look a lot wider than the picture when you are wearing them.
Feels so good
By judy k. from phila, PA on 9/23/2014
Love that the lining comes out and there are smaller holes on the sides so when I'm shoveling snow or when it rains my feet will stay dry.
AH so cozy
By judy k. from phila, PA on 9/13/2014
Since the first CEO stepped down and the new CEO took over the sizing of Crocs has changed.I like the Crocs Blitzen II Lined clog because you can take out the lining a wash them and another plus from the old Mamouths is there are many holes so if you are shoveling snow or out in the rain your feet got wet.Blitzen II has small holes on the sides.My old Mamouths are a size women's 9 and the insides were all messy because I didn't wear socks.To my surprise the 10 was too big.Returned them for a size nine and and the fit is great.Amazing price.So delighted that I found your site.

Great Shoe
By Reva F. from Glenview, IL on 8/12/2014
Had a previous shoe and was on the lookout for another pair. Very comfortable for walking and also gets lots of compliments because it is different.
Love my Sanuks!
By HoosierMama72 from Louisville, KY on 6/5/2014
This is NOT my first pair of these shoes. They are so comfortable, that I have several pair. The pattern of the material on this particular pair is really fun for Spring/Summer. It's worth it to note that these run large...
Very Comfy.
By Janice D. from Medina, NY on 5/23/2014
These casuals are very comfy.
Exactly what I was looking for
By Traci from Fredericksburg, Tx. on 5/9/2014
I purchased these because I was looking for something that would be good for wearing for a long period of time but be "classier" than sneakers. They were a little tight, but they're stretchy so it didn't bother me too much and I won't have sore feet waiting for them to stretch. I would recommend them for something that is needed for casual/dressy.
Awesome & warm
By W.A. Queen from Fenton, mi on 12/17/2013
Fit: NA
So soft and warm!! Look great too and I normally do not like Crocs. I bought two pair!! One to go to water aerobics & one for around the house.
My first Crocs
By Teresa M. from Hailey, ID on 10/27/2013
It's true, Crocs are super comfortable. The raspberry color is great and the fleece is warm and cozy. But Crocs look like boats no matter what shoe size so I can't give them 5 stars. These will be great to wear around the house during the winter.
Nice Spring/Autumn Croc
By Beth S. from Neenah, WI on 10/26/2013
I walk to our local YMCA to swim, and now that fall is well underway in the Midwest, I'm finding these shoes fill a void that regular Crocs and sandals leave when summer is over.
I love these shoes and everyone wants to know where I purchased them!!
By Karen from Sumner, Washington on 8/16/2013
Love, love, love these shoes, very comfortable. i have been a fan of Merille shoes for years!!
