April 15, 2011
TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State defeated the Washington State Cougars 3-1 on Friday night to take the first game of the three-game weekend series. Brady Rodgers (5-2) was magnificent for 6.1 innings, allowing five hits and a run to earn the win and help the ASU improve to 23-9 on the year, 6-4 in Pac-10 play.
It was a classic Friday night match-up of top flight pitchers, as the Rodgers and WSU's Adam Conley allowed a combined two earned runs. But it was the two unearned runs allowed by Conley that were the difference, as ASU scored all of the runs it would need in the fifth.
The Cougars would strike first in the top of the third inning when Cody Bartlett singled to center driving home Jay Ponciano from second base to put Washington State up 1-0.
The Devils would respond in the bottom of the fifth inning when Xorge Carrillo singled up the middle to drive in Matt Newman and tie the game at one. After a sacrifice bunt by Johnny Ruettiger put runners at second and third with two gone, it looked like Conley and the Cougars would escape further damage. Zack MacPhee hit a routine grounder to second baseman Tommy Richards, but the ball went through his legs, allowing both runners to score. That made it 3-1 Devils, a lead Arizona State would not surrender.
The story of the game for ASU was its pitching, as Rodgers struck out one and scattered five hits before giving the way to Alex Blackford, Trevor Williams and Mitchell Lambson. Blackford and Williams combined for 2.1 innings of work with one strike out then Lambson struck out the side in the ninth to earn his fifth save of the year and secure the victory for the Devils.
Austin Barnes and Xorge Carrillo were each 2-3 with one run scored, while Zach Wilson was 2-4 in the win.
The Sun Devils will play game two of the series with the Cougars Saturday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. from Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark.

ZF-1814: Allow explicit mapping of xmlrpc calls to object/class/method calls
Add support for explicit namespace.name => function/method mapping.
Similar in nature to:
Essentially, expected api:
$server->addMethod($functionName, $functionMethodCallback);
if ($this) was passed in $functionmethodCallback, the server SHOULD NOT attempt to clone or recreate the object, instead it should map the call the to already passed in object. This will be useful when embedding an XMLRPC server inside a controllers action.
Addionally, if a valid callback is presented as strings, an object should be created.
For more info, contact me if need be.
Tentatively scheduling for 1.1.0. It requires changes to Zend_Server_Reflection, as well as to each server class.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Scheduling for next minor release.
A new component, Zend_Server_Definition, was added to allow better, more performant caching ability in Zend_XmlRpc_Server (and the JSON-RPC server). This component also achieves the goal of this request -- you can define your own Zend_Server_Method_Definition objects, attach them to the Zend_Server_Definition, and pass this to loadFunctions(). This allows for fully customizable server definitions.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

For those of you that didn't catch the origins of this build idea in the other threads, here's the current configuration.
Not much new for details here yet other than what was already mentioned in the other threads. I'm still hunting some (a lot) of parts to complete this build. I do have a few parts on hand already so I decided to start fabricating some of the custom pieces from them.
I measured the RSB and front trunnion and marked where I wanted to remove metal. First I hacked the bottom of the RSB off and levelled the bottom edge on the belt sander. I also removed and levelled the top where the ears for the rear sight leaf were. Next I cut out the middle and belt sanded the front and rear pieces until they were the correct legnth. I made it so the top cover wouldn't have to be modified to fit when the forward edge is lined up with the front of the trunnion.
Next the two pieces will be welded together and then the top and sides ground/filed back down till they are flush. Once that's done, I'll clamp it to the top of the trunnion and see where I need to make a notch for the bottom of the gas tube.
I already cut the Yugo RPK barrel in half and rough cut some of the cooling fins off where it will be rethreaded. I don't have a bore dial indicator at home so I'll have to make the final cuts at school. I still also need to cut off the chamber end of the barrel about halfway through the RSB area to get the overall legnth I want. Then I can rechamber and reprofile the barrel.
I also got a Krink cone muzzle brake and cut it down to the approximate size I wanted. I can't do much more with it until I get the barrel finished though.
This is going to be a (very) long term project. The biggest factor will be the time needed to find and make the custom parts.
More to come later... ;)

I have been working on 2 websites for a long time and the most challenging work is to create good content to them. I use to write the articles mysellf or sometimes hire an external service to do it for me (around 7-10 uds each and poor quality). At this moment my site has around 400 pages indexed all of them created by me and taking me a lot of time. Although, I note that some of my competence has 6.000, 12.000 pages (not forums, etc, but proper articles and samples) at their site and they are individual webmaster like me and my question is HOW IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS HUGE AMOUNT OF PAGES/CONTENT working alone and with a small budget?
Basically, I need to improve my site with templates, samples, like job deescription templates, resume templates, etc. My competence has tons of them duly written and formated. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME SUGGESTING SOME GOOD/ALTERNATIVES SOURCE TO CREATE WEB CONTENT, preferible for free or maximum for 1usd-3usd price each?

Big Womens Basketball Weekend Ends with Sole Possession of First Place
Box Score
It was everything this Ivy League rematch was chalked up to be – a contentious battle with title implications. Behind a thrilling second half effort, the Princeton women's basketball team outlasted Harvard 69-64 Saturday night in Cambridge, Mass.
Princeton now controls its own destiny in the Ivy League, sitting in sole possession of first place at 17-6, 8-1 Ivy. Penn entered the night tied for first with the Tigers, but fell to Dartmouth to move to 7-2 and Harvard drops to 7-3 in the league.
If senior leadership was ever more paramount it was against the Crimson, as co-captain Kristen Helmstetter not only stepped up individually, but provided a valuable presence on the floor that her teammates fed off of. The forward finished with 17 points and six rebounds, both team highs, in 39 minutes of work.
The first half saw a game of runs, as both sides pushed for control. Harvard opened with a 7-2 advantage, before a pair of Taylor Williams free throws set up a Tiger 5-0 run to knot things up at 16:38.
Williams had 11 points, going 5-for-6 from the line, with five boards, three blocks and two assists.
Princeton employed a 10-0 run spanning nearly six minutes to go up 17-15 at 8:50 and give the Tigers their first lead of the game. Like the early minutes, they were unable to contain their push and the Crimson countered with an 11-0 rally of their own and maintained the lead over the remainder of the half.
Under Helmstetter's tutelage the Tigers remained within range and did not allow Harvard to carry off with a sizeable lead. Behind the forward's 13 points, including a pair of crucial triples, Princeton went into halftime trailing only by a possession, 31-28.
The battle for control ensued through the second half, seeing an Annie Tarakchian trey top off a Tiger 7-3 run to tie the game, 41-41, at 12:03.
After a brief moment of both sides trading baskets, it was the Tigers who went on a 10-5 run led by two more Tarakchian triples to go up 51-46 with 8:28 to play.
Tarakchian had 15 points for a new career high, on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, in 19 minutes off the bench.
Harvard had one final push and tied it for the third time, 61-61, at 3:05, but it was not enough to derail Princeton.
Key down the stretch was Michelle Miller, who had six of the Tigers final eight points, as she went a perfect 6-for-6 from the line to tally 10 points on the day.
The Tigers will look to carry their momentum and seven-game winning streak into next weekend's meetings at Yale (Feb. 28) and Brown (Mar. 1).

His last two endeavors as a director have been with The Station Agent and the critically acclaimed The Visitor.
With his return we get a terrific indie comedy with Win Win. Paul Giamatti plays a lawyer to the elderly that is struggling financially and on the side he teaches wrestling at the local high school.
He is forced to house one of his client with dementia and decide to take the man under his guardianship. That guardianship comes with a lot more then he expected as his grandson shows up on his doorstep looking for help and no place to go.
Win Win is the kind of indie-comedy-drama that you expect to see at Sundance and what we've come to expect from Tom McCarthy, but the performances by Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, and newcomer Alex Shaffer brings a refreshing ease to the story and depth to the characters. Which is something you can only expect from an actor behind the camera with McCarthy.
Along with terrific performances we get a screenplay that creates an ensemble character depth that is meaningful, heartbreaking and mostly hilarious. This is slated to release in March so if you can't catch it at Sundance I highly recommend this as I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this film throughout the year.

The coldest I had at my house was -20 for two nights in a row. But it warmed up to a pleasant 5 above in the afternoons, for about 20 minutes. That's a good old-fashioned pipe-bursting, car-killing cold snap.
Having gone through a couple of weeks last winter with the water system frozen, with only intermittent and low-pressure water in my house, I wasn't about to take any chances with it this year. I learned that, by letting the kitchen faucet drip all night, I had to get up about every half hour to go to the bathroom, and the constant flushing of the toilet kept the line from freezing.
The local water company spent some significant money on repairs the last couple of years, and for the first time in memory the system was leak free. That meant that when last year's cold penetrated, stuff that used to be protected by the leaks froze up solid. So this year we did a pre-emptive strike and opened a bunch of hoses up and down the system, running water into the river to keep the mains from freezing. It seems to have worked.
But in that kind of cold nothing is without its problems. My new dog thinks the garden hose is irresistible. He spent the summer chewing a couple of hoses into bits. I had hoped that a few months with the hoses rolled up in the garage would have got him over it. No such luck.
When you salt the ice on a gravel driveway, all you get is ice with little holes melted through it. I'm going to be dealing with that until spring. So far I don't need tire chains to get out of the garage, but that's only because there hasn't been enough sun to polish the surface smooth yet.
In the news this week, Lance Armstrong went on Oprah's show, on a network that nobody gets, to confess to doping. Well, I never! Who would have thought that the guy who won the Tour de France seven times against the finest chemists in the world was doing his own chemical experiments? I'm shocked, shocked.
It's not clear that Oprah has the authority to grant absolution. I think, to really get cleared of shameful behavior, you have to get to Barbara Walters. I'm still trying to decide if I care or not. It's not like I'm going to quit riding my bike because Lance was a doper. Celebrity endorsements don't matter to me, although I have to admit to being very impressed by the current Buick ads featuring Peyton Manning. If the OnStar system can understand whatever language Peyton Manning speaks, it must be good.
Speaking of celebrities, Sundance is upon us once again: glitz, glamour, famous people we don't even know about lurking in the grocery store, limousines stuck in the slush, and tow trucks everywhere. Flu viruses from every corner of the globe contaminate every overcapacity theater. It's so special.
I heard somebody on the radio the other day explaining the parking regulations, which appear to change every day. The nature of the explanation was an attempt to reassure us that it is still possible to drive a car and go about your normal business in Park City. But the message was so confusing that the take-away was that now is a good time to crawl into your survival bunker and hide out for the duration.
This year, the Sutherland Institute, an ultraconservative group out of Salt Lake, has denounced Sundance as being inconsistent with Utah values. It is objecting to the state giving grants of tax money (I think the figure was $300,000) to facilitate an event that shows movies that are edgier than "Old Yeller," and perhaps a bare breast. I personally think Sundance has outgrown Park City's capacity to put it on. But anything that upsets the Sutherland Institute is probably a good idea.
But like it or not, Sundance is here. Put on your best black clothes and smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

War, fire, ice, politics….the story
of the The Roanoke River
Lighthouse—or more appropriately,
the four Roanoke River
Lights—could be the subject of a
disaster movie or an
inspirational book.
Today, a perfect replica of the
second Roanoke River Lighthouse
sits peacefully alongside the
Roanoke River. Its exhibits tell the
story of this once-bustling port
town where schooners, steamboats,
and barges frequented the customs
house. The river connected the
region to the broader world and this
beacon protected that connection.
Browse the exhibits and discover the
fascinating stories. Climb the
spiral staircase, step past the lens
onto a breezy deck and imagine the
lonely life of the keeper, isolated
for days or weeks at a time with
only his chickens and goats on a
lower deck.
At the
Roanoke River Maritime Museum,
just across the street, enjoy a
wealth of photographs that share the
story of the river's impact on
fishermen, farmers, foresters,
merchants, soldiers, papermakers…and
most of the people who lived here or
passed through this place and
neighboring towns like Jamesville,
Roper and Creswell.
your hand (via imagination) at
navigating a boat. See native fish
in a large aquarium. Discover
underwater secrets found by East
Carolina University students'
underwater archeological
explorations including sunken ships
from exciting Civil War battles.
Exhibits on early boatbuilding help
chronicle the evolution from paddle
to sail to motor. Visitors will even
get to know a little about some of
the colorful local characters.
A display by The
Outer Banks
Lighthouse Society will highlight
North Carolina's famous seaside
lights, building anticipation for visitors on their way to the

Fast food sucks. You read reports on it and you see it really sucks. I don't mean to sound like mum but it really does and I'd never eat it.

Fast food sucks. You read reports on it and you see it really sucks. I don't mean to sound like mum but it really does and I'd never eat it.
You losers we all know it sucks when you buy it. The only reason people buy fast food is for convenience. Not many people feel like taking daily trips to the grocery store on passing fancies to make their own food for every meal. You'd go to the market on your lunch break and cook at work? Hats off to you.
@pichubro i'm happy you noticed that nice bit about mcdonalds salads :nigga:
Bah i make a thread to talk shit about how the east coast has no jack in the box and i get these teens with their self important attitudes talking about common knowledge like they thought of it first.
I'd neg rep this thread if i could.
whoever dosnt like fast food is a massive cunt
adam, there are times where I just don't get you
I'm confused. You did say doesn't.
I am from the West Side, where it's a bit warmer here in California than in the East, and it gets too sultry during the Summer in the San Joaquin cities and Sacramento.
I can always get any chance to eat a really good double cheeseburger at In N' Out Burger, because I love that restaurant so much with fresh foods and tasty french fries.
The A&W All American Food Restaurant is the home of the A&W Root Beers, with the same ol pretty good American food of cult favorites like Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers with bacon pieces, and other originals. Some A&W Restaurants are fused with other restaurants such as KFC.
There is another Taco Bell type restaurant called Jimboy's Tacos, but that restaurant have not that many locations nationwide. I ate a taco at Jimboy's Tacos, and it tastes different there.
And then there's Quiznos Sub, one of the best restaurants I have ever been to, with great sandwiches that are so tasty, I love it very much.
Iforgot about A&W! There's a good fast food place.
There's a place around here called Cheeburger Cheeburger. Never been there but the name makes me laugh. =^.^=
A&W is the best place to eat. it's not chineese, it's not french, it's not canadian, its all american :wink:
was that an attempt at an el o el?

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kylie Didn't taste like what I had expected! I was on a mission to try all kinds of drinks and snacks from the U.K. and a friend had told me how Horlicks is quintessentially British, so I tried it. It says it's a malt drink, so I was imagining the taste of a Whopper (or a Malteser in the UK), but I didn't consider the lack of sugar. It tasted more like baby formula to me, which I didn't particularly like. I guess it's an acquired taste, haha! February 1, 2013

State Auto is a company that believes responsible behavior should be rewarded. We put action to these words by developing rates using a variety of criteria.
Simply put, insurance companies are in the business of assuming risk. We assume the risk, or chance that customers will suffer a loss, in return for an insurance premium. While we hope you never suffer personal loss, we do realize that some of our customers will. The reality is that the insurance premiums collected from many people are designed to pay for the claims of a relatively few. Instead of charging everyone the same premium, we feel the responsible thing to do is to match the premium with the risk. In other words, we charge a lower price for those who we anticipate will have fewer claims, and a higher price for those who we anticipate will have more claims.
We feel that fairness dictates we, to the extent possible, develop individualized insurance premiums that reflect the likelihood of future claims. The challenge is to try to predict, in advance, those who are more prone to loss. Numerous tools are used to predict claims activity. One of the most accurate is the insurance bureau score, developed using information from an individual's credit bureau report. Unlike a credit score, which banks and other lending institutions have used for years to predict the likelihood that their clients will pay their bills, insurance bureau scores were developed solely to predict insurance claims activity. The better a person's score, the less likely he or she is to submit a claim, which therefore should translate to a lower premium.
The good news is that, for most people, insurance bureau scoring results in a lower premium. The bad news is that not everyone sees the value in rewarding the majority, while at the same time asking those who are statistically more likely to submit claims to pay their fair share. State legislators and other government officials in several states have restricted the use of insurance bureau scores through the passage, and implementation of various laws and insurance regulations.
We see the value in using the scores – and hope you do too. Insurance bureau scores facilitate fairness – and enable us to reward people with a history of financial responsibility.
If you are concerned about this issue, please contact your state legislators.

Valley Forge FAQs
Molly Pitcher
Q.Can you tell me any thing about Molly Ludwig Hayes and if she had any responsibilities at Valley Forge or did she just follow her husband there for support. It is hard to find any information on Molly before the Battle of Monmouth.
Robin Mcbroom, Lancaster, Ohio
A.If you are using the Internet as your resource, you can find a few sites using the subject of Mary Hays/ Mary Ludwig Hayes/ Mary Ludwig McCauley and Molly Pitcher.
"Molly Pitcher" was a nickname for women who carried water to the troops during the war.
Here is a little background on Mary that I can share:
Born in 1754, Mary Ludwig Hays McCauley was the daughter of a New Jersey dairy farmer. At the age of 13, she went to work as a domestic/servant. During the same year — still at 13 — she married a man by the name of William Hays (a barber). When the Revolutionary War began, William enlisted and became a gunner in the Pennsylvania Artillery. Mary eventually joined her husband as a campfollower during the Philadelphia Campaign (1777-1778) in New Jersey eventually wintering with the Army at Valley Forge.
We all have come to know her as "Molly Pitcher." She gained this title later on at the Battle of Monmouth. The only contemporary witness to the scene in June of 1778 describes the scene of the husband and wife — Mary and William — working together: "A woman whose husband belonged to the artillery and who was then attached to a piece in the engagement, attended with her husband at the piece the whole time. While in the act of reaching a cartridge and having one of her feet as far before the other as she could stemp, a cannon shot from the enemey passed directly between her legs without doing any other damage than carrying away all the lower part of her petticoat. Looking at it with apparent unconcern, she observed that it was lucky it did not pass a little higher, for in that case it might have carried away something else, and continued her occupation."
At the close of the War, William and Mary Hays returned to Pennsylvania. They settled in Carlisle where Mary went back to work as a domestic as well as a "charwoman" in the State House in Carlisle. After the death of William, Mary remarried another Rev War vet by the name of John McCauley. She was awarded a pension in 1822 by the Pennsylvania State Legislature and it wasn't until the anniversary of the War in 1876 that a marker — noting her exemplary service — was placed on her grave. She died on January 22, 1832.
Another "Molly Pitcher" was Margaret Corbin (b. 1751) — who took up a cannon when her husband was killed at Fort Washington on Manhattan Island, New York in 1776. She was seriously wounded there herself when her arm was almost severed and her breast was lacerated by grapeshot. She lived until about 1800 after receiving charity payments from the Invalid Regiment and later a small pension from Congress. She was known throughtout her community as a bad-tempered, hard-drinking eccentric by the nickname of "Captain Molly!"

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The University of Alabama put an unprecedented six student-athletes on the 2014 Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large team it was announced Thursday, including five who earned first-team honors, led by senior gymnast Kim Jacob who was named Academic All-America of the Year.
"We're extremely pleased that Kim has continued our legacy of success when it comes to the Academic All-America of the Year program," UA Director of Athletics Bill Battle said. "And to lead the nation with six student-athletes on this year's Academic All-America At-Large teams is another point of tremendous pride. It's another example of Crimson Tide success at the highest level."
Jacob's honor marks the sixth time that a Crimson Tide student-athlete has been named the Academic All-America of the Year and the fifth time in as many years.
Jacob was joined on the first team by golfer's Stephanie Meadow, Cory Whitsett and Bobby Wyatt and tennis player Mary Anne Daines while gymnast Lauren Beers earned second-team honors. Jacob, Meadow and Whitsett all earned the honor for the second time.
Unlike the other Academic All-American teams (men's and women's soccer, basketball and track and field/cross country as well as baseball, football, softball and women's volleyball) which honor student-athletes from one sport, the at-large teams span several sports, making for a deeper and more challenging pool of candidates. The at-large team considers student-athletes from the sports of men's and women's fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis and water polo as well as men's volleyball and wrestling and women's bowling, field hockey and rowing.
Overall, Alabama student-athletes have earned a school-record 11 Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American honors to this point in the 2013-14 academic year, with Jacob, Meadow, Daines, Whitsett, Wyatt and Beers joining softball players Molly Fichtner, Kaila Hunt, Haylie McCleney and Ryan Iamurri as well as soccer player Kendall Khanna.
"These latest Academic All-America honors are a testament not only to the importance our athletes and coaches put on academic excellence, but the great work that Jon Dever and his staff at our Center for Academic Student Services do on a daily basis," Battle said.
The Tide could add to this year's total when the Track and Field/Cross Country list comes out in late June. Alabama has three student-athletes who earned All-District IV honors and are on this year's national track and field ballot.

Dolphins WR Brandon Marshall admits to changing play calls
There's an art to the way Brandon Marshall talks because he usually manages to say SOMETHING without outright saying something.
The Miami Dolphins' alpha receiver has done it all season, sending subliminal (and sometimes clear as day) messages to the media, encouraging us to read between-the-lines. That habit continued during his final weekly interview with WQAM's Michael Irvin show this Tuesday.
Marshall hinted that he's had issues with the Miami Dolphins' conservative offensive play calling, especially how he was used in 2010, and some of it center on Chad Henne's conservative approach to playing quarterback.
Marshall also outright admitted he and Tyler Thigpen, who replaced Henne against the Patriots, were improvising on a couple of occasions during Sunday's 38-7 loss to the New England Patriots, a game where he caught five passes for 97 yards, most of which came in the second-half with Thigpen at the trigger.
Changing plays on the field led to Marshall having a heated discussion with quarterback coach David Lee, who didn't like the fact Marshall and Thigpen were changing in-routes to go-routes based on the coverage Marshall was seeing.
One of those improvised plays drew a 32-yard penalty and set up the Dolphins' lone touchdown. That pass interference was the second one the Dolphins' Pro Bowl receiver drew all season, joining the one Jets linebacker Bart Scott committed in Miami's 10-6 victory on Dec. 12th.
"We had a little discussion on the sidelines about keeping the route on," Marshall said of his dispute with Lee, which centered on the type of press coverage New England cornerback Devin McCourty was playing him.
"They expect me to run an in-route, but me as a player, when we get singled with no safety over the top I want to take a shot and just converted it to a go….Seemed like an easier throw, easier play was the go route…. The quarterback coach was just doing his job. He didn't know that me and Tyler were on the same page in terms of seeing the same thing out there."
Marshall said he and Thigpen talked through the Patriots' coverage often during the game. But sources tell me they changed some of Marshall's routes in the huddle before looking at New England's defense.
"I'm 6-5, 230 and have a rookie cornerback that's 5-10, maybe 190 pounds in front of me. Just throw it up. You see what happened," Marshall said, referring to the 35-yard catch he made on an improvised route. "That's the type of play that my game has been missing all year, being able to threaten somebody deep when it's one-on-one, no matter if they are running with me side-by-side or if I got a step or two. I look at it as if I'm open.
"When there's press coverage outside and single safety (high) in the past taking a shot has always worked out pretty good, in my favor," said Marshall, who finished 2010 with 86 receptions for 1,014 yards and three touchdowns. "That's something I've been trying to get called all year….Trying to get them to understand if I'm covered I'm not covered."
When asked if he favors Thigpen over Henne, whom he expressed doubts about last week for the first time all season, Marshall confronted the show's co-host, warned he'd always "kept it real" with the show, then said: "I like whoever is getting the job done.
"Tyler gets it a little more," Marshall said when asked a follow up question about the two quarterbacks. "We had an opportunity to make three big plays. We made an amazing play on one of them, had a pass interference on the other, and the other one I just dropped. We really had an opportunity to go 3-for-3.
"It's a look that I've been trying to communicate with the quarterbacks all year and we finally get it the last game and show what we're capable of doing," Marshall said. "Tyler gets it. He had an opportunity to play with Dwayne Bowe in Kansas City and they made some plays out there so I guess he understands [about] throwing the ball to a big receiver a little more than Chad Henne. But Chad has done some great things for us this year. He's a smart, intelligent guy. The way he plays the game is he does…goes exactly through his reads."
So, to translate it, Marshall subliminally called Henne a Robot.
"No matter the situation or the match up, it doesn't matter that I'm 6-5, 230 against a rookie corner who is 5-8, 5-9," Marshall said of Henne's by-the-book style.
"We may have a discussion where we're too safe as an offense at certain positions. I'll take my chance in the game," Marshall said. "We make three big plays, three conversions and then you get to the sidelines and there's some conflict there because they don't like it.
"If I would have caught that third one it probably still would have been a debate," Marshall said. "We just have to get on the same page."
Based on this season's offensive production, and Marshall's recent comments, it's very clear the Dolphins weren't in 2010.

These King Leo Hand Dipped Peppermint Sticks were a free sample given to me by the nice folks over at QualityCandy. At first I was hesitant, because peppermint candy isn't really my thing. I do know a bit about it though, as one of my good friend was really into peppermint candy so I always was on the lookout for her. I've bought King Leo for her before, and she always gushed that they were favorites of hers. Now I can give them a go myself.
I do love the design of the packaging. It's very classic, and I love the image of the regal lion sitting atop the logo. The stand up carton protects the sticks well, as none of them were broken when I opened the box.
First off, let's talk about the main part of this candy, the peppermint stick. I've always loved King Leo's peppermint sticks, as they were more old fashioned feeling and they didn't resemble the Brach's Starlight Peppermint candies that I associated with cheap candy dishes as a kid. These peppermint sticks are shorter and thicker, with an intense flavor and a wonderful texture. They break easily in the mouth, and are soft and almost powdery as you chew them.
Now, take those peppermint sticks and cover them with real Belgium chocolate, and boy, do you get one really tasty treat here. It's a classic example of how peppermint and chocolate go over so well together. And thankfully for me, I didn't get any reminders that "Oh, this tastes like toothpaste" which is a typical reaction I have to minty candies. Just pure enjoyment here.
These would be an excellent holiday treat or gift to anyone who loves peppermint candy. I was really expecting now to enjoy them, but I was proven wrong. Now I an eat one of these instead of a candy cane and not feel like I'm not in the spirit of the season!

After last year's delayed opening, the Fear Factory—housed in an old cement factory at the demonic address of 666 W. 800 South—has vastly improved the fright factor of its creepy and chilling assembly line production of nightmares. Now, an impressive torture facility, the Fear Factory delivers a steady stream of horror throughout the winding hallways, industrial stairwells and fog-filled dirt courtyards.
The actors give great attention to detail: they will stalk you by name throughout the maze (if you're pals are mean). The ghouls, torturers and monsters are a random, unthemed hodgepodge of some of the scariest characters out there, but the old cement factory steals the show with amazingly elaborate and demented sets. The spectacular goriness only gets grosser and more frightening the higher up you go into the dreary factory.
New attractions at the factory include a weekend beer garden for folks who want a little grown-up juice to calm their pre (or post) haunt nerves and a zip line, which descends high speed from the tower over the spooky dirt courtyard below. The zip line, an extra $15 on the ticket price, certainly adds to the level of fear, especially as other patrons scream bloody murder around you. (Note: Don't hesitate to ask the employee manning the zip line stop to triple check your harness before you launch off the platform. The drop below is several dozen feet.)
Weekend tickets are $25 for general admission and $35 for VIP, which come with a souvenior shot glass or water bottle and a digital image of your group. (Tickets Monday-Thursday run $20 for general admission and $30 for VIP). Discount passes are available at Maverik, Rumbi island Grill, Costa Vida and the Fear Factory's Facebook page.

How to check whether or not the sum of the cube of each digit of a number is equal to the number itself?
In the following code, I tried to return the number in question whenever it matches the condition.
In[191]:= Func[x_]:=If[Total[Map[#^3& ,IntegerDigits[x]]]==x,x,0];
Out[192]= 300
Apparently the checking seems to be wrongly done. What caused this issue? How to fix it?

Genetec, a developer of open-platform, hardware and cloud-based services for the physical security and public safety industries, based in Montreal, hosted a Press Summit this week. I was supposed to be there. But no! A snowstorm on Sunday prevented me from making my flight out.
I was disappointed. I was interested in learning and reporting about what Genetec has going on for 2015 in advance of its reveals at ISC West. I also was looking forward to finding out more about the corporate culture of the company, which was founded in 1997.
Corporate culture is worth knowing about. Just ask John Loud of LOUD Security, who spoke about it at Honeywell's Connect2014 event.
Brian Katz of Google, keynoter at our recent TechSec conference, discussed that progressive company's culture of security.
Attitudes all add up in making companies more successful.
When I visited Genetec's HQ last year I was impressed with the atmosphere there, from the popular, low-cost gourmet food in its company cafeteria to its on-site gym. Then there's the foosball- and X-box-equipped meeting areas. Employees trying to untangle snags in projects are encouraged to work them out over a game or two. (My teenage son has often told me that video games help him think, too, when he's stuck on a homework project. Now I just might believe him.)
It's not only about good food and fun and games for Gentec's 620 employees, though. Those perks, along with generous vacation time and benefits and company-sponsored outings, are designed to promote a work environment that fosters "a strong culture of innovation, which is essential to the growth and future of [the] business," the company says.
Genetec this year was named one of the top employees in Montreal for the ninth consecutive year by MediaCorp Canada. The contest evaluates employers on criteria that includes physical workspace, work atmosphere and social, health, financial and family benefits, vacation and time off, employee communications, performance management, training and skills development and community involvement.
The award isn't just about good external public relations, the company told me when I inquired. In addition to prompting more visitors to the Genetec website and boosting job applications and greater, favorable awareness about the company overall, it has made current employees proud to work at the company and, Genetec says, employee retention will grow because of it.
I'll be writing more about Genetec's corporate culture, so stay tuned!
About two months ago, Security Systems News spoke with Steve Keefer, national law enforcement liaison for SIAC, about the unique way the Carson City Sheriff's Department approaches false alarms; by utilizing volunteers. Since, Keefer followed up with this sheriff's office and found that while false alarms have dropped, it is difficult to determine how the volunteers were involved.
Upon looking at the figures over all reductions, "I told the sheriff, 'I bet you're close to a fifty percent reduction in your commercial [false alarms]," Keefer told SSN. Yet, because of how the data was organized, the exact influence of this volunteer program can't currently be determined, Keefer said.
Keefer gave the sheriff recommendations, such as hand-outs, like flyers and printed statistics, as well as a heavier focus on false panic and hold-up alarms. "Those are probably more problematic for a police department, because you're not getting, traditionally, two officers going to a robbery or hold-up—you're probably getting three or four."
A primary reason for Keefer's follow-up was to investigate the viability this practice might hold for other jurisdictions, perhaps to be incorporated into SIAC's recommended practices.
A positive aspect of this program is the small commitment for volunteers, Keefer said; they could finish a month's duties in four hours, across two days. "It's not draining by any means."
According to Keefer, the city of 55,000 people saw about 1,300 false alarms last year. These false alarms are split about 70 percent commercial and 30 percent residential. While these volunteers exclusively visit commercial offenders, Keefer underlined that this method could benefit the residential sector as well.
The volunteers, a husband-and-wife pair, only visit businesses that have received two or more false alarms in a given month, totaling about 10 to 15 per month.
Systems integrator Diebold has been talking about the importance of APIs for years and cloud-based VMS provider Eagle Eye, which opened its doors one year ago has also been a vocal proponent of APIs.
This week, Diebold and Eagle Eye announced a national strategic alliance to deliver cloud-based video services.
The deal will allow Diebold customers to "stream and store live and recorded video, provide flexible cloud storage, and generate notification and real-time analytics."
The alliance combines Diebold's SaaS solution (called SecureStat—here's a story about SecureStat) and Eagle Eye's VMS and API interface
The service is "easy to use, scalable, secure and reliable," Diebold says and it's particularly suitable for multi-location customers who may want to use "local and cloud-based applications that … [integrate] IP-enabled or legacy analog cameras."
In a statement, Eagle Eye CEO Dean Drako lauded Diebold as the "first security integrator and alarm services company to leverage the power of an open API strategy and service offering."
He added that this API strategy "has revolutionized other industries and will do the same for the security industry." Diebold EVP Tony Byerly in a statement called this strategy "the future of security as we continue to leverage APIs to create a connected security program for businesses, starting with easy-to-use cloud-based video services." Diebold will integrate Eagle Eye's cloud VMS at its monitoring centers and customers will be able to see showcase demo applications at its Center of Excellence in Elmsford, N.Y.
At last week's TechSec conference, Diebold's Jeremy Brecher moderated an educational session about cloud-based security systems. Drako was one of the speakers on that panel discussion. Look for a report on that session in the next week.
TechSec2015 is now past, but here's a photo of some of our "20 under 40" end user award winners just after our poolside award ceremony on Day 1 of the new technology conference.
Half of the winners couldn't make it to the conference, and we missed them! But the 10 who were in attendance contributed greatly to an awesome show. One was our keynote speaker, Brian Katz of Google, and five others sat on panels for our education sessions. A winner from last year was our second-day speaker opener, that would be Ralph Nerette of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Thanks to all, congratulations again and keep in touch!
Don't forget to pay it forward and be thinking of peers that fit the bill for next year's awards.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.—I'm writing this midway through the second and final day of our TechSec Solutions conference. So far, so great!
This is my third TechSec conference, and as always, I am impressed, albeit blown away, by the passion and commitment that participants and panelists have for the jobs they do.
My favorite part of TechSec is meeting and getting to know in person our "20 under 40" award winners. If you, out there in the physical security world, have any doubts about the future of the industry, you can rest assured it's under control. These young people, the future security leaders, are more than smart and certainly dedicated to their profession.
Our keynoter, Brian Katz from Google, a "20 under 40" winner, was outstanding. Following his speech I don't think he had a moment to himself. Whenever I'd look his way, he was surrounded by people asking him questions, seeking his insights. That's what TechSec is all about.
During one of the sessions yesterday, "Who's the boss of video surveillance? IT vs. physical security," Les Paul Vernon, vice president, enterprise solutions, for Protection 1, and Kelly Klatt, area director of safety and security, Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando, stressed that having a good relationship with IT departments from the start of projects is the only way to go. It's not us against them anymore, they said. Both benefit each other.
My panel, "NextGen: Security practitioners' perspective" with David Avedikian from Southwest Airlines and Brad Reeves of A&P, was, without being biased in the least (!), a highlight of the first day. These two young pros, minus the third scheduled panelist who was stranded in snow-plagued Boston, talked about their biggest challenges of the past year and those they face in the year ahead; how they deal with emergency situations; and the security technology they want along with the technology they're not all that interested in at the moment.
We capped off the day with the "20 under 40" awards ceremony. A great turnout along with great appreciation for the winners made for a fine evening in Delray Beach.
Today's opener from Ralph Nerette, former 20 under 40 winner and director of security and emergency management for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, did much to shed light on what today's end users have to deal with, especially when it comes to the unexpected. In the space of two weeks, Nerette and his team, in addition to their plethora of daily duties, had to deal with the fallout of an active shooter at a next-door hospital and the impending consequences of a huge storm bearing down on his area.
I also sat in on the "Student Innovation: Young Minds with fresh ideas" session, with Mark Robinton, the manager of technology innovation, strategic innovation team, for HID Global, and Jeff Hale, an MBA student at Chapman University.
And we're not done yet! Stay tuned.
TechSec 2015 is in full swing today.
The security industy's leading conference about new and emerging technology kicked off yesterday, Feb. 3 with a keynote speech by Google's Brian Katz. Click here to read that story.
Below are some photos from the day. From the top:

I-View Now, a provider of video verification services based in Henderson, Nev., announced a new selection of coming integrations, as well as a new agreement to integrate ipDatatel devices. This wave of integrations includes Milestone, Digital Barriers and Avigilon. Additionally, the company announced the first integration to come from a recent agreement with FLIR Systems.
Among the annnounced integrations was Milestone's video management software, XProtect Corporate and XProtect Enterprise, which will be available on Feb. 6.
Also on this date will be released the integration with SafeZone-edge, analytics provided by Digital Barriers, which is currently available on compatible AXIS cameras and encoders, I-View Now mentioned.
An integration with Avigilon's Rialto A4 encoder was also announced. "I-View Now is excited to add this proven analytic device to our list of integrations," the company said in a prepared statement.
The company also entered an agreement to integrate various devices from ipDatatel, including the company's line of Home Area Network products. These integrations will become available in Q1 in 2015.
The first FLIR integration, with FLIR DNR500 Series NVRs, is also scheduled to be available Feb. 6.
"FLIR looks forward to achieving additional integrations of our recorder systems with I-View Now," said John Distelzweig, VP & GM of FLIR Security, in a prepared statement.
About a year ago, Tim Le Blanc president of TriStar monitoring, spoke with Security Systems News about the company's first year. Now, the third-party monitoring center central with its 10,000-square-foot facility in Corona, Calif., is reaching its second anniversary and LeBlanc talked about the significant, but "very realistic," goals the company has for its next year. TriStar
Nearing the two-year mark, the company is approaching 30,000 accounts, according to Le Blanc. "At the end of the year, we're looking to [have] about 45- 50,000 accounts," Le Blanc said, something he calls "a very realistic figure."
Le Blanc told Security Systems News that a key to their upcoming year will be their monthly newsletter which TriStar sends out to a base of about 4,000 companies. The newsletter, covering various topics including new technologies, contracts, and insurance, and its positive response helps build the company's reputation, Le Blanc said.
Le Blanc said that this year to bring more advertising as well as a larger presence in industry meetings.
TriStar is currently also working on expending its presence in Washington and Oregon, according to Le Blanc, a central part of which is state licensing.
Organizers of the Electronic Security Expo put out a call for entries for the newly named "ESX 2015 Innovation Awards." Entries are due April 1, 2015. Winners will be notified on April 15.
ESX will take place June 24-26 in Baltimore this year.
Formerly called the Maximum Impact Awards, the ESX 2015 Innovation Awards will be given in 15 categories, which include several sub-categories. New subcategories include: DIY Security, Secure Wireless Communication Technology, and Activity Sensing/Medicine Management.
"This year, emerging products and services are eligible-as well as those that have been field-tested. Companies are encouraged to enter both products and services," according to an ESX news release.
The goal is to "recognize those innovators who are driving our industry forward and improving both our offerings and our ability to run our companies efficiently and profitably," George De Marco, ESX Chairman, said in a prepared statement.
Look for information on another new ESX event this year: "ESX TechVision Challenge," where top category winners will be invited to present before a panel of judges.

On OPI's Surprising Origin
"I never planned a career in beauty. In the 1980s, my brother-in-law owned a dental-supply company and found that dental prosthetic materials made superior acrylic nails. Together we marketed his product to professional nail salons."
On OPI's Big Sale
"OPI was acquired late last year [for a rumored $1 billion] by Coty Inc. This is a huge opportunity, but since OPI was my baby, I feel the way I do about my daughter going off to college next year. It's bittersweet."
On the Joys of "Free to Be"
"I grew up in Communist Hungary, where individuality was not embraced. That's why I cherish my creative job."
On Her Low-Maintenance Looks
"I have short hair because it's easy. Beyond that, I'm not the plastic surgery type. My one indulgence is a manicure. This spring I'll be wearing OPI Guy Meets Gal-veston, a bright coral [$9; opi.com for stores]."

This ought to be a lesson to every last Democrat who voted for Obama and Biden.
The Video:
The Story:
With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.
Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department's $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.
"There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle," the car company's founder and namesake told ABC News. "They don't exist here."
Henrik Fisker said the U.S. money so far has been spent on engineering and design work that stayed in the U.S., not on the 500 manufacturing jobs that went to a rural Finnish firm, Valmet Automotive.
"We're not in the business of failing; we're in the business of winning. So we make the right decision for the business," Fisker said. "That's why we went to Finland."
via Car Company Gets U.S. Loan, Builds Cars In Finland – ABC News.
Here is the real-world translation to that last line in that story; we did not want to have to deal with the labor unions in this United States, so we moved our manufacturing overseas.
Take note my Democratic Party friends who happen to read this blog, all two of you. This is what happens to the Democrats and their union counterparts, when they elect internationalist Democrats, who really do not give a care about what happens to American workers. Internationalist Democrats and their Republican counterparts, the globalists — like Richard Nixon, who do not care about American workers, they are corporatists, who support crony capitalism.
This right here is a perfect example of why the relations between the Democratic Party and the labor unions are frosty at best. That is because the Democratic Party for the last few instances that they have won elections, have been putting internationalist Democrats into the White House. This type of a Democrat talks a nice game, and puts out platitudes to the American autoworkers and their representatives in the unions; but when the "Rubber hits the road" so to speak, things change. They begin showing their true colors and start doing things to kick dirt in the face of the American worker.
I do not write this as a Conservative mocking the left, goodness no. I write this as someone who has a father, who is a retired General Motors worker, who is a member of the UAW. If anyone would know how the Democratic Party has treated the American autoworker in the last 30 years, it would be me. There was a time in this Country, when the Democratic Party used to respect the American autoworker and would literally step in front a train to defend them. Sadly, that time has passed, as the unions have lost their influence amongst the Democratic Party.
The loss of that influence in the Democratic Party is partially due to the actions of the internationalist Democrats, like Bill Clinton, who signed into law NAFTA and TAFTA. Some of that loss of influence is also due to the declining membership roles within the UAW and other said unions. Either way, it is sad transition in America, when our politicians in Washington D.C. put interests abroad before interests here at home.
Some of my readers, all three of you, might be shocked to see that I do not take a more mocking tone on stories like this and here is why I do not; Pat Buchanan said it best once, on one issue that I actually agree with him on — the American worker. Pat once said, "As goes Detroit, goes the Nation," and you know what? Pat Buchanan is right about that, the United States of America used to be a manufacturing marvel. We produced everything ourselves, and other Countries used to come here to see how we did it all. Sadly, those times have come and gone, due to many reasons, a list of which is longer than the length of this blog entry will permit.
What is solution you ask, I know what it is; but most of the people who will come here to read, will not agree with it. However, I will give the solution. Firstly, the solution is NOT to bust up the unions, as they have as much right to proper representation, as the company owners have a right to make a profit. The solution to the problem is to get rid of these idiotic so-called "Free Trade" agreements. Secondly, the solution is to impose strict tariffs on EVERYTHING and I do mean everything that is manufactured overseas and imported into our Country.
These actions would do a couple of things; firstly it would protect the American workers from the globalists who want to undercut the American worker to make a quick dollar on the backs of cheap sweatshop labor in foreign countries like China. Secondly, it would solve our Nation's revenue problem by creating a reliable source of income; one of which we did have in this Country for a very long time, before the globalists ripped it out, in favor of trade agreements.
Further, the solution is in whom we elect; Republicans and Democrats alike need to elect those who put America's interests first, and not the interests who those abroad. To be fair, Republicans have done this too in this past and we as Americans need to watch what these new crop of Republicans really represent; do they represent the interests of the crony capitalists or do they have the American people's interests in mind? Supposedly, the Tea Party movement brought some of this "America First" type of populism to the Conservative movement, but as of late, it seems that the Tea Party was nothing more than a passing fad. I just hope the people, who went to these protests, use the principles that were promoted at the Tea Party rallies, at the ballot box come November 2012.
