Self Defense Family is a band as continually interesting as they are musically ambitious. Three years in the making, their new record "Duets" is the result of a longstanding collaboration between them and Albany singer and Family member Caroline Corrigan. Corrigan has fronted the band before at shows and on the 2013 record "You Are Beneath Her," also released by Iron Pier. Here, she and regular Family singer Patrick Kindlon are put together front and center and afforded time and space to collaborate. "Duets" is five new songs with overlapping themes and a cohesive sound that builds on the band's own distinctive approach but integrates new elements of alt-country and indie rock. Over the course of the record Kindlon's and Corrigan's voices sing against each other, overlap, double back on each other, and break apart, with Corrigan alone singing on the final track. "Duets" is tuneful and accessible but just as challenging, interesting, and as personally confrontational as the band has ever been.
"Duets" will be released September 30th, 2014 by Iron Pier as a one-sided 12" vinyl EP and as a digital download. On this record Self Defense Family is: Mary, Chris, Alan, Doody, Benny, Andrew, Caroline, Patrick. It was recorded by Andrew Duggan and Chris Tenerowicz at Hellmouth in Brooklyn, NY and by Craig Dutra in his home studio in Albany, NY. It was mixed by Andrew Duggan and Chris Tenerowicz in Brooklyn and Los Angeles and mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago. The art and layout was created by Samuel Phipps of Iamsam Creative in Cardiff, UK.
All orders include digital downloads in your choice of bit rates and audio formats– FLAC, WAV, AAC, Mp3, etc. Digital downloads come with high resolution digital liner notes.
Our Self Defense Family T-Shirt is available to order here. Order our other SDF record with Caroline Corrigan, "You Are Beneath Her," along with "Duets" and get a discount.

Members of the Medina High School softball team arrived safely in Myrtle Beach, S.C., after they were delayed when their bus was part of a 95-vehicle pileup in Virginia.
Softball coach Jessica Toocheck said the team was able to get another charter bus to finish the trip.
None of the students were seriously injured in what police said was a series of 17 chain-reaction crashes in the fog-shrouded Fancy Gap mountain area, about six miles from the North Carolina border.
Virginia State Police identified the three people who died as a result of the crashes Monday. They were: Andrew Katbi, 24, of Delphos, Ohio; William M. Sosebee, 33, of Allen, Ky.; and Kathern Worley, 71, of Iron Station, N.C. Twenty-five people were injured.
Police said Sosebee and Worley were passengers in different vehicles that struck the same tractor-trailer, while Katbi was the driver of another vehicle that rear-ended a tractor-trailer. All died at the scene.
The softball team was scheduled to play 2 p.m. Monday at the Grand Strand Softball Classic tournament, but that game was delayed until 7 p.m. because of rain. They will play five games this week and return to Medina on Friday.
Toocheck has said one of the 12 players on the bus "had a minor head injury," but none of the students had to be taken to the hospital. The bus hit a vehicle in front of it and was rear-ended by several other vehicles, she said.
The crashes began around 1:15 p.m. Sunday when there was heavy fog in the area.
"This mountain is notorious for fog banks. They have advance signs warning people. But the problem is, people are seeing well and suddenly they're in a fog bank," said Glen Sage of the American Red Cross office in the town of Galax.
Since 1997, there have been at least six pileups on the mountain. But Sunday's crash was the most deadly, according to The Roanoke Times. Two people died in crashes involving dozens of vehicles in both 2000 and 2010.
State police said traffic along the interstate in southwest Virginia backed up for about eight miles in the southbound lanes after the accidents. Authorities closed the northbound lanes so that fire trucks, ambulances and police could get to the wrecked vehicles.
Overhead message boards warned drivers starting at about 6 a.m. Sunday to slow down because of the severe fog, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said. The crashes mostly were caused by drivers going too fast for the conditions.
At the center of the crash was a wreck involving up to eight vehicles, some of which caught fire, Geller said. Photos from the accident scene showed a burned-out tractor-trailer and several crumpled vehicles badly charred. People taken to hospitals had injuries ranging from serious to minor.
School buses took stranded people to shelters and hotels.
Authorities reopened the northbound lanes Sunday night and the southbound lanes around midnight.

According to Sports Illustrated on May 30, Donald Sterling, the embattled former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, will sue the NBA for damages in excess of $1 billion dollars. According to Max Blecher, Sterling's attorney, the charges include "an invasion of Sterling's constitutional rights, violation of anti-trust laws and breach of fiduciary duty associated with the NBA's lifetime ban and termination charges."
Earlier this month, Donald Sterling was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This effectively removed him from the Sterling Family Trust and left control with wife Shelly Sterling. Shelly signed a $2 billion agreement to sell the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
According to TMZ, Donald Sterling was officially declared "incompetent to have a voice in the sale" of the Clippers. TMZ added, "We're told earlier this month Donald agreed to an examination by two prominent neurologists. He underwent extensive tests, including a CT and PET scan. We're told both doctors diagnosed Donald with Alzheimer's and concluded he may have had the disease for as long as 5 years. The doctors both concluded he did not have the ability to conduct the business of the team."
According to the terms of the Sterling Trust, Donald or Shelly can be removed if a medical expert declares them mentally unfit. The Alzheimer's diagnosis removed Donald from anything to do with the trust. Max Blecher, Donald's attorney, strongly denies the reports, claiming that Donald is "far from mentally incompetent."
Donald Sterling has taken actions that have "damaged and continue to damage the NBA and its teams," per the NBA. Sterling was secretly taped by his girlfriend while making derogatory and racist remarks about African-Americans and minorities, including directing the girlfriend not to associate publicly with African-Americans and not to bring them to Clippers games.
The NBA was quick to issue a huge fine and ban Sterling from the game. They then initiated an action to force him to sell the team. That duty eventually fell to wife Shelly and resulted in yesterday's sale.
What will come of Donald Sterling's lawsuit is anybody's guess. Attorneys who have commented on the case say that the NBA franchise agreement Sterling signed is ironclad and unbeatable. And now that Sterling is 80 and has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the outcome could be a very long time in coming. In any event, the Los Angeles Clippers will belong to Steve Ballmer, not Donald Sterling.

Weird Al Yankovic scores his first No. 1 album on the Billboard charts with 'Mandatory Fun'
For the first in his 35-year career, Weird Al Yankovic has scored a No. 1 album.
His newest album Mandatory Fun was released on Tuesday, July 15, backed by a promotional schedule of music video debuts leading up to the release.
Weird Al created a good bit of buzz by releasing a new video each day from the new album for eight consecutive days.
Mandatory Fun is his 14th studio album and follows his successful formula of putting the "Weird Al" spin on popular hits like Pharrell Williams' "Happy", Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" and others.
Al tweeted his disbelief early Wednesday morning at the news:
It's official. MANDATORY FUN enters the Billboard album chart this week at #1. Wow. WOW.— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) July 23, 2014
If you'd told me 30 years ago this would happen, I never would've believed it. If you'd told me 2 WEEKS ago, I never would've believed it.— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) July 23, 2014
I'm so pleased everybody is enjoying the album, and I'm enormously grateful for everyone's support. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.— Al Yankovic (@alyankovic) July 23, 2014

I've read through my Panasonic G3's manual twice now, and it seems a bit cursory. Helpful, but it doesn't seem to cover every feature the way my Canon point and shoot's manual did.
I haven't been able to figure out if there's a way to do in camera black and white photos. I sometimes like to do that with my point and shoot as a composition exercise, and I'd like to do the same thing with my G3. (yes, I know I can convert later on the computer... but making the camera show me black and white shakes up my thinking usefully, so I'd like the option it if it's available)

We've created make-believe conceptions of beauty for ourselves, and neither men nor women can ever live up to them.
When I say I don't think I'm beautiful, I mean it as a matter-of-fact, realistic statement.
Real Beauty: Distinguishing Truth From Fairy Tale
"You Are Not Beautiful to Me. You Are Gorgeous to Me."
It might be a cliche, Gordon Pearson writes, but beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
Dear Anonymous Male: Here's My Take On 'The Beauty Paradox'
Mik from Australia responds to our commenter Anonymous Male on why there is a seeming paradox when it comes to men and women and beauty.
A Paradox about Men, Sexual Attraction, Women, Beauty
On the one hand, men are portrayed as ravenous sexual beings who sleep with anything that moves. On the other, they have totally unrealistic expectations about beauty, wanting only the 'hot babe'. Paradox?
Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful
'Only when women truly accept and believe in the beauty they posses will others appreciate and respect them for it.'
Women, the Media, and 'Miss Representation'

The win sets up a showdown with Elsinore High next Friday for the Sunbelt League title. Both teams are 4-0 in league play. That game will take place at Heritage beginning at 7 p.m.
Quarterback Mat Bradshaw passed for 63 yards for the Patriots, including a 27-yard touchdown pass to Jacori Pace. Matt Palmer added to the winning cause with a 22-yard interception return.
In another game involving a Menifee high school football team, Paloma Valley lost a 21-14 decision to visiting Temescal Canyon.
Temescal Canyon tied the game at 14-14 with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Sean Trimble to Kanan Castro with two minutes remaining. Paloma Valley (6-3, 1-3) had a chance to pull out the victory, but Diego Reutter missed a 27-yard field goal attempt with two seconds left.
Dawson Lindeman scored the only touchdown of overtime for Temescal Canyon. On the next possession, Lindeman recovered a Paloma Valley fumble to preserve the victory.

September offers great opportunities to get out to a Virginia State Park to volunteer.
Maurice Suggs, Park Ranger at York River State Park, hands out bags for volunteers to collect trash along the river at last year's National Public Lands Day event.
National Day of Service and Remembrance
Americans will come together to Commemorate the 9/11 attacks as a National Day of Service and Remembrance on and around September 11. This year marks the 12th anniversary.
Across Virginia, all of our Virginia State Parks will offer volunteer opportunities between September 7 and 11. These service projects provide opportunities for members of local communities to gather together and make a difference as a way of paying tribute to the victims, honoring those who responded in the aftermath, and rekindling the spirit of unity and service we all felt after the attacks.
Volunteer opportunities and the schedule vary by park. For a complete listing of the opportunities, please follow this link. For more information about the National Day of Service and Remembrance see the official sites here and here.
National Public Lands Day
September 28, 2013 marks the 20th anniversary of National Public Lands Day—the nation's largest, single-day volunteer effort for public lands. More than 175,000 volunteers are expected at more than 2,200 sites in communities and parks around the nation and all of our Virginia State Parks will be hosting volunteer events.
National Public Lands Day Turns 20 this year
For a complete list of our volunteer opportunities for National Public Lands Day, click here.
Stewardship Virginia
Twice a year, Virginia encourages environmental stewardship volunteerism through its Stewardship Virginia program. In the fall, our parks offer volunteer events in September and October as part of Stewardship Virginia. Participants receive a certificate of appreciation from the Governor.
River cleanup at James River State Park
Check our parks events database for the park near you to find a qualifying Stewardship Virginia volunteer event.
Our volunteer program is broader than the occasional group event like the ones discussed here. Read about the many opportunities on our website. You can sign up to be a volunteer there and select from existing opportunities as well as learn about some of our specialty volunteer programs. Does your civic or church organization want to come out and enjoy the park for a picnic? Did you know you can "earn" a shelter rental or camping for your group?

Seven returning players who are expected to be members of the 2014 Oregon Ducks baseball team competed in summer wooden bat leagues around the country, while one was a member of the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. The summer season has wrapped up for all but three of the players, Updates for each player are listed below.
Tommy Thorpe (College National Team/USA Baseball)
The Ducks' Friday night starter for the last half of the season finished the 20-game schedule with a 1-0 record and a 4.50 ERA in five games. He struck out 11 hitters in 10 innings pitched. The College National Team finished the tour with a 20-3 record including a 13-0 record in exhibition games and a 7-3 record in international play.
Garrett Cleavinger (Falmouth Commodores/Cape Cod League)

The Ducks' lefty is 0-2 in 13 appearances and hasn't allowed a run while giving up just two hits in his last five outings. In the playoffs, Cleavinger tossed 0.1 innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Cotuit allowing a hit and no runs.

He has 21 strikeouts in 18 innings pitched, while allowing just 19 hits. Hunter picked up the win over Brewster on June 29 striking out four in three innings of relief while not allowing any hits.
Kevin Minjares (Conejo Oaks/California Collegiate League)
A key reserve infielder in 2013 for the Ducks, Minjares hit a team-best .382 with a team-high .495 on-base percentage while leading the Oaks to a 27-22 record and a fourth-place finish. In 24 games he was 29-for-76 with two doubles, 10 RBI and 10 walks. He played in the California Collegiate League All-Star Game on July 17 in Compton, Calif.
Nick Catalano (Alaska Goldpanners/Alaska Baseball League)

He batted .212 with three home runs, 18 RBI and eight doubles in 38 games. In the tournament championship best-of-three series, Catalano went 3-for-9 with a double and a RBI to help the Goldpanners sweep the Anchorage Glacier Pilots. He was 2-for-6 with a double and a RBI in a 3-2 13-inning win in game one. He followed that with a 1-for-3 effort in a 3-1 win to give the Goldpanners the title.

A month of snow-filled fun awaits visitors to Canada's finest winter wonderland
Banff National Park Celebrates Winter with New 'SnowDays' Festival
Banff National Park, Alberta (January 5, 2011) – We're waxing our skis, sharpening our skates and polishing our pucks as Banff National Park's month-long celebration of winter is set to begin with a flurry of activities during the first-annual 'SnowDays' festival.
Developed as a destination-wide partnership, SnowDays seeks to build on the traditions of past winter carnivals whilst establishing new events with a fun-filled month of weekday activities and weekend festivals jam-packed with wintry adventures of all kinds.
From January 14 to February 12, 2012, visitors to Canada's first national park will be able to enjoy an array of wonderful winter pursuits including ice climbing in downtown Banff, skating on the town's new ice rink and marvelling at creative snow sculptures. Additional festival activities throughout the month will include live theatre performances, a heritage geocache, photography exhibitions and endless winter sport opportunities featuring everything from cross-country skiing to curling and snowshoeing to skiing.
Everyone's favourite festival, Ice Magic, featuring a world-class ice carving competition at Lake Louise, will be extended to two weekends and will provide the highlight event for SnowDays. The month of activities will be rounded off with Banff's first-ever 'Take It To The Street' ball hockey tournament, coinciding with the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada in February.
"SnowDays is an exciting new festival that celebrates this extraordinary winter wonderland we have in Banff National Park," said Julie Canning, President & CEO of Banff Lake Louise Tourism. "We're welcoming people to come and enjoy one of Canada's great natural treasures while it is beautifully blanketed in powdery snow and has so much to offer outdoor and cultural enthusiasts alike."
The SnowDays festival was developed in partnership with Parks Canada, the Town of Banff, Banff Heritage Tourism & Banff Lake Louise Tourism to foster increased visitation and enjoyment of this UNESCO World Heritage Site in winter.
For additional information about SnowDays and a detailed schedule of events throughout the month-long festivities, please visit http://www.banfflakelouise.com/events-and-festivals/festivals/snowdays

1854: The banks of the Alma River, Crimean Peninsular. The Redcoats stagger to a bloody halt. The men of the King's Royal Fusiliers are in terrible trouble, ducking and twisting as the storm of shot, shell, and bullet tear through their ranks.
Officer Jack Lark has to act immediately and decisively. His life and the success of the campaign depend on it. But does he have the mettle, the officer qualities that are the life blood of the British Army? From a poor background Lark has risen through the ranks by stealth and guile and now he faces the ultimate test....
©2013 Paul Fraser Collard (P)2013 Headline Digital
"This is a brilliant debut and I look forward to reading more of Jack Lark!" (Bernard Cornwell)
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"so unmemorable and predictable"
I could see the story unfolding a long time before it happened
chapter one until the end
"Sharpe meets the Talented Mr Ripley"
I really enjoyed this fast paced story which grabbed my attention from the first chapter. There is plenty of action and a well developed lead character who is flawed but likeable.
I finished this in just a couple of days and will definitely be reading/listening to the next books. I'm l
ooking forward to seeing this series develop.
Told in the first person..
After the rave reviews I felt a little deflated setting my expectations too high. BUT saying this the reality of the Crimean war shines through, you are there on the battle field, smelling seeing breathing the sheer horror of the era.
I wanted more from Jack or maybe just from the surrounding characters a little more exploration of their lives as a few piqued my interest.,lets just say it's a lot just for one character to carry the whole storyline even though his is a good story with a cheeky ending that made me smile. A solid four stars and I will keep a definite look out for more from this author.

– a written paper covering clinical applied dental science and clinically applied human disease; and – a written paper in aspects of clinical dentistry, law and ethics, and health and safety.
Part Two will consist of :
– an examination on a dental manikin;
– an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) that tests candidates' clinical skills;
– an examination designed to test candidates' diagnostic and treatment planning skills; and
– a medical emergencies examination.
New candidates applying to sit the ORE must demonstrate that they have at least 1,600 hours clinical experience where they have personally treated patients in the dental chair. This experience can be gained during the undergraduate degree, during post-qualification experience, or a combination of both. Candidates will have to verify this experience by providing references from University Dental Deans or employers.
Current IQE candidates can transfer across to the new exam; and those who have passed Part A of the IQE will be exempt from the first paper in Part One of the new exam. Those who choose not to transfer will be limited to two attempts at each part of the IQE before being automatically transferred to the new exam.
The ORE will be run on a cost-neutral basis to the GDC and the fees, subject to Privy Council approval, will be:
– Part One – £600
– Part One(b) – £150 – this is for those candidates who have passed part A of the IQE and have transferred to the new exam
– Part Two – £2,250

Is there any windows software with media player that can protect media data on container level encryption? In other words, users who plugged this HD to a computer with any OS will not be able to copy or view the content unless using this software on Windows OS.
BitLocker encryption is Microsoft's whole-disk encryption tool. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/bitlocker
There are a number of tools that will encrypt disks and that supply unencryption tools on the disk so that you can access the data when you need to.
The one I'm most familiar with is from Symantec. Not specifically aware of any that are free though.
You can do this with something like TrueCrypt but you need the software installed on every PC (which requires admin access).
I think you could also do it with FreeOTFE. This also requires installing everywhere but does not require admin rights to do so. Here is another, similar tool. And here is a review of some of these tools.
If all your computers are using Windows 7 and contain a TPM module, you could use Bitlocker.
UPDATE: It seems that, whilst I thought that your question could only be answered properly with commercial software such as that from Symantec. You can do this with FreeOTFE. Here is an article explaining the details. The trick seems to be to copy the free FreeOTFE Explorer executable to a non-encrypted USB stick, run it and let it create an encrypted container. You can then run the explorer on any Windows or Mac computer. Looks like performance may be poor though.
UPDATE 2: OK, having looked even further, it seems that there are a few free tools. Here is an article with a couple. I expect you will find others once you see some keywords to look for.

Just a quick congrats to Sachi for passing her exam yesterday. She is now a PMI Project Management Professional (PMP).
Of course, since she started studying and having the book (above) around the house, I had to take every opportunity to call it the PIMP exam and make lewd references whenever money is exchanged between us.

A young team, the Glasgow Reds B team found some confidence after their last road trip to Sidney and beat Glendive in a pair of games on Saturday.
The Reds, led by starting pitcher Keil Krumwiede, beat Glendive 10-3 in their first contest on Saturday and then came back to win 9-6 in the night cap.
"Confidence was a big thing for a lot of us," said Krumwiede.
And confidence in Krumwiede grew with each strike out on Saturday, as he racked up 11 Ks in 4.1 innings of work. Krumwiede also only walked one and allowed three hits in his outing.
"He threw well," said Head Coach Jack Sprague. "He did...

Heiss, Jan Patrick (2009). How to explain access to the field. Lessons from fieldwork among the Yedina (or Buduma) of Lake Chad. Anthropos: internationale Zeitschrift für Völker- und Sprachenkunde, 104(1):25-40.
Full text not available from this repository.
In their articles, researchers describe how the identity that is assigned to them by the social group they are studying is the key criterion for determining a researcher's ability to gain access to the field. They often explain this identity in relation to the historical external relations of the society being investigated. In this article, I will also attempt to portray the identity that the Yedina assigned to me during my field research, and which fundamentally determined my possibilities of gaining access to the field. However, at the same time, I wish to explain this identity not only in the context of the historical external relations but also in the light of the social, economic, and political structures of this ethnic group. In this way, I hope to show that the reasons for assigning identities to anthropologists require a much more in-depth discussion than has so far been the case in the aforementioned discourse

Balanced Attack is Key to Heritage's 37-16 Win Over Beaumont
Limihai Hifo races downfield for a long gain on a pass reception in Heritage's win over Beaumon...
|Limihai Hifo races downfield for a long gain on a pass reception in Heritage's win over Beaumont on Friday.
The Heritage High School football team did a little bit of everything in its 37-16 victory over Beaumont High in the Patriots' first home game of the season Friday night.
The rushing attack took control from the start, led by Jamal Morrow (128 yards rushing) and Limihai Hifo (10 carries, 130 yards). Quarterback Mat Bradshaw, starting only his third varsity game, passed for 76 yards and a touchdown and ran the offense capably.
A small but aggressive offensive line paved the way for the running game all night. And on defense, the Patriots recovered a fumble, came up with some key sacks and allowed only three points in the first half.
As a result, Heritage remains undefeated at 3-0 and the Patriots seem to be building confidence with each victory.
Specifically, Broach praised the work of linemen Matt Rodts, Levi Davison and Caleb Marquez, who were able to control the line of scrimmage well enough for Heritage to dominate throughout the contest.
In addition to his 128 yards and one touchdown rushing, Morrow returned the opening kickoff of the second half 98 yards for a TD. Taking the football on one bounce at the 2-yard line, he raced down the left sideline and beat the Cougar defense to the opposite end zone.
On Heritage's first possession of the game, Morrow burst through a hole in the right side of the line and raced 52 yards for a touchdown. Moments later, following a fumble recovery, Heritage scored again on a 1-yard TD pass from Bradshaw to Darius Allensworth.
Heritage took a 20-3 lead just before halftime on a 1-yard run by Hifo, and Morrow's kickoff return at the start of the second half basically put the game out of reach.

WWDC 2014 starts Apple's new products and surprises for this year, according to a June 2 report in BetaNews. WWDC stands for World Wide Developers Conference and is an annual gathering of Apple engineers and developers. WWDC begins with a keynote address at 1 p.m. (10 a.m. Pacific Time) on Monday, June 2.
During this keynote address at the WWDC 2014 it is expected that Apple will introduce iOS 8, the new operating system for iPhone 6 and the next iPad Air and iPad mini—as well as "Yosemite." "Yosemite" is the new version of OS X, the operating system for Macs. Leaks suggest that the format of "Yosemite" is going to be redesigned to look like the current iOS 7 and may include iOS features like "AirDrop."
Besides "Yosemite," otherwise known as OS X 10.10, Apple probably will show the new features in iOS 8 at WWDC 2014. Chief among these new features is probably an upgraded "Maps" application and a new addition called "Healthbook."
"Healthbook" is considered to be a repository of health and fitness information that iOS 8 receives from wearable devices, like Nike Fuelband. "Healthbook" will be able to provide you with health and fitness information ranging from distance walked to blood pressure and sugar level. "Healthbook" is thought to be a necessary precursor to Apple's "iWatch," which Apple may or may not also reveal at WWDC 2014.
Possibly included in the new iOS 8 may be an app that functions as a control center for home appliances, like thermostats, lights and security systems. Since Apple does not produce home appliances like these, it means that Apple will partner with companies that do make these devices.
Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine are also expected to make an appearance at WWDC 2014. Dr. Dre and Mr. Iovine are co-founders of Beats, a company that Apple recently purchased for three billion dollars.
Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior Vice President for Internet Software and Services, said that this year Apple will show "the best product pipeline in 25 years" and the first day of the rest of the year starts now. To see a video of WWDC 2014, you can download the free app "WWDC" from the App Store.

We got word that Glee would be covering Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" on Friday, and because we live in a world that hates surprises, we now have a first look at Jesse and Rachel's not so dramatic reunion in tonight's "Prom Queen" episode. Fittingly, it all takes place in the McKinley theater with Jesse sneaking up on Ms. Berry (where else would he know to find her?) as a group of unassuming (yet vocally talented) stage crew members paint sets behind them. Rachel seems to have learned not to trust her suave duet partner (look at that unfortunate scarf), and delivers a delightfully cold—and probably rehearsed—"Hi Jesse" when it's all over. Good girl.
We've already gushed over the song—any pairing of Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff is always satisfying, as is any chance to talk about Adele—but does it play out the way you'd hoped? And how does "Rolling in the Deep" compare to "Hello" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart," Rachel and Jesse's duets from season one?

In a historic AFL expansion draft the LA KISS added seven talent veteran players to the team's 2014 inaugural roster. Headlined by 2013 Spalding Offensive Lineman of the Year, Billy Eisenhardt, these player selections came as part of the first expansion draft held in the AFL since 2006. Additional roster additions include DE Marc Schiechel, DE/LB Steve Octavien, DT Mark Crawford, DB Mervin Brookins, OL Issac Leatiota and DE Dominie Pittman.
"We were able to pick up seven key veterans in the draft, players who have instantly made our team better," said Bob McMillen, Head Coach for LA KISS. "We targeted high effort pass rushers with non-stop motors and we got exactly what we were looking for. We also added two very solid centers and a versatile athlete that can help our team in multiple areas."
"As a new team it is important that we add veteran players, and that is exactly what we achieved," stated Schuyler Hoversten, President of LA KISS. "We continue to grow our talented roster for what promises to be a successful and exciting first season for the LA KISS in 2014."
Eisenhardt (6'3", 315, Grand Valley State) is a four year AFL veteran who was has been a second team All Arena selection for the past two seasons. He joins the LA KISS after winning an Arena Bowl with the Arizona Rattlers in the 2013 season, bringing invaluable championship experience to a growing roster.
Sciechel (6'3", 270, Colorado School of Mines) is a two year AFL veteran from the Spokane Shock who also spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. He is the NCAA Division 11 all-time leader in sacks.
Octavien (6'2", 260, Nebraska) joins the LA KISS after two years in the AFL, most recently with the San Jose Sabercats, and time spent with four teams in the NFL. He was named defensive MVP in his senior season at Nebraska and earned Big 12 conference honors.
Crawford (6'2", 325, Kentucky) enters his second season in the AFL after spending time with the Arizona Rattlers and Jacksonville Sharks in his rookie season.
Brookins (5'11", 190, Sacramento City College) is a four year veteran with the AFL who joins the LA KISS after three years with the San Jose Sabercats. He led the Sabercats in all-purpose yards in 2011 and helped the Spokane Shock with the Arena Bowl in 2010.
Leatiota (6'4", 320, San Jose State) started 13 games last season with the San Antonio Talon and joins the LA KISS as a two year AFL veteran. He played the 2012 season with the San Jose Sabercats.
Pittman (6'3", 255, North Alabama) joins the LA KISS as a two year AFL veteran after two season with the Pittsburgh Power.

Qantas extends Select on Q-Eat to premium economy
Published: 12/09/2013 - Filed under: News »
Qantas is extending its Select on Q-Eat to premium economy passengers on select international flights, including all services between Australia, London and Dubai.
The pre-order meal service was launched last year as exclusive to business class and has been progressively rolled out on more flights.
It offers customers a more varied menu and the facility to pre-order meals online between seven days and 12 hours prior to departure.
Qantas has now announced it will be extending Select on Q-Eat to premium economy on certain international flights over the next few weeks.
First up are premium economy passengers on any flight between Dallas and Australia that departs after September 16. These passengers can book their meals online from today.
From 16 September (for flights departing September 23), the service will be extended to premium economy on all flights between Los Angeles and Australia.
And from October, Select on Q-Eat will be available for all premium economy passengers on all flights between Australia, London and Dubai.
Qantas then plans to extend it to customers travelling internationally in economy from late 2013.
Alison Webster, a Qantas executive manager, said: "Our aim is to provide our customers with a personalised experience when they fly with us. The Select on Q-Eat offering in Business has been very well-received since its introduction last year.
"Our customers tell us they enjoy the ability to confirm their meal choice prior to their flight, or to advise us in advance that their priority is to maximise their rest on board, and have their bed made up by our Cabin Crew directly after take off."
Last month, Qantas and Qantas Link previewed the new interiors that will feature on their Airbus A330 fleet and select Boeing 717 aircraft (see news, August 29).

What a great service and fairly easy to do with the internet/computers in this day and age.
If you know what you want to pre-order, you order and then know that your choice will not have run out! That is very annoying. Even better if their is a larger choice of food as well.
Must also be good for the airline as they can reduce wastage
Lets hope all airlines go this way

On Sunday August 3, 2014, New York Senator Schumer took the unusual position of standing on the same side as some Republicans in regard to drones. Not only is the stance unusual for the bipartisan nature it displays but also because it addresses an issue that has been cheered as a boon for New York State.
The issue of drones, or unmanned aerial systems, being used domestically is a major issue that has recently taken a back seat to numerous scandals and international crisis. At the core of the drone issue is how will drones be used, and by whom? There are many pros and cons to this question, but there is almost no regulation and many legal scholars believe there is no legislation that addresses the situation.
Currently there is no legislation or regulation limiting the use of drones, though the FAA is in the process of developing guidelines. The Drone Caucus, for its part, has worked diligently to enable several States to begin testing drones for domestic use. New York State was one of the initial States approved for such testing, and will likely create some 1,300 jobs over the coming years.
In the meantime the FBI, DEA, and other parts of the Government have been using drones domestically - some since 2006. How drones have been used by these Agencies is not known. Even when Congress asked FBI director Robert Mueller in 2013 the response was vague, and obfuscated the on-going use of drones
"…we're exploring not only the use, but the necessary guidelines for that use." – FBI Director Robert Mueller to Congress on 6/19/13
The result was a call for regulation and legislation. A guideline by which the 4th Amendment freedoms of Americans could be protected, while the Government, corporations, and individuals explored the potential benefits of domestic drone usage. Leading the charge has been Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis), Rep. Joe L. Barton (R-TX), Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA). The issue was also addressed in our article
Drones: Are .003% more jobs in NY worth your 4th Amendment Rights? – repost from 5/27/13 and by then-candidate Michael "Vass" Vasquez (president of M V Consulting, Inc),
"I hesitate only in the fact that the rush to create 1300 jobs via drones, less than a tenth of a percent of the State unemployment, is not accompanied by responsible legislation to ensure that the use of drones is not abused as we have seen is the case with many Government agencies lately."
It is into this Fray that Sen. Schumer has now tread. As he stated to WHEC
"The Democrat says New York has become "the wild west" for private drones since a court case limited the federal government's ability to regulate the use of the small, remote controlled aircraft."
It should be noted that while the call for regulation has been enjoined by Sen. Schumer, he has restricted his support to the private use of drones. The concern of the Senator is apparently fixated only on how private citizens and corporation might misuse drones. The fact that the FBI has hidden its use of drones for nearly a decade, and the omnipresent revelations of abuses of power from the IRS to NSA, seem to provide Sen. Schumer no pause. To that extent the NY Democrat diverges from Republicans in the Senate and House of Representatives, who believe the threat to privacy looms as large from the Government as from any other source.
The very limited position of Sen. Schumer flies in the face of concerns over Government abuse. The concern is so strong that the South Carolina House passed a unanimous bipartisan legislation banning domestic drones without a warrant. In total 40 States have some form of drone legislation passed or pending, and numerous cities have done the same.
Still, it is important and unusual to see such a high profile Democrat join in the Republican-led effort to restrict drones from the "wild west" circus that the lack of legislation has created. We can only hope that Sen. Schumer will eventually also embrace protecting the public from the Government as much as he is currently willing to support the Government.

Some Game Themes
The Wildcats look to continue the balanced offensive attack and physical defensive play it showed against a ranked team last Saturday... UA is, in the parlance, getting close, but can it cross the hump in a venue where it's struggled for several years?
Last Week
A handful of big plays by the opposition proved too much for a showcase game by
Quick Hits From
- The Wildcats established a season-high for longest run twice in the game (20 yards, 50 yards).
- The
- WR Syndric Steptoe paid for it, but he extended his streak to 14 straight games with at least one reception. Step was forced from the game after taking a vicious blow after hauling in the pass in the first quarter.
- Travis Bell and Brandon Lopez made their first career catches, the former for the Cats' first touchdown.
- Lopez made his first career start at fullback after switching over from LB.
- WR Mike Thomas tied his season high with eight catches. The true frosh has at least three receptions in all seven games this season.
- Mike Bell's 50-yard TD run in the second quarter was the third-longest scoring run in his four year career (67 and 69 yards TD rushes vs. Washington in 2003).
The Cats and The Beavers ?- The All-Time Series
Arizona leads the all-time series 19-8-1 that dates back to 1966, but has lost the six straight to the Beavers ... The Wildcats hold a 7-5-1 advantage at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, but have not won there since 1998, four straight losses ... 2005 will mark the fourth time in the past five seasons Arizona will have traveled to Corvallis to take on the Beavers.
Oregon State won its second straight game at Arizona Stadium with a 28-14 victory over the Wildcats on Oct. 30, 2005 ... Despite out-gaining the Beavers 331-310 in total offense, the Wildcats couldn't overcome self-inflicted errors in the loss ... OSU scored 14 points (the difference in the contest) off of four Arizona turnovers (2 Int, 2 fumbles) ... Departed QB Derek Anderson threw for 249 yards and two scores and rushed for another TD in the win ... The Arizona defense limited OSU to just 61 yards rushing the game
Noting the Beavers
Oregon State hosts Arizona in newly renovated Reser Stadium for the fourth time in the last five years ... Oregon State enters the contest 4-3 overall and 2-2 in the Pac-10 ... The Beavers favor a pass-oriented attack, coming into the weekend ranked ninth in the nation is passing offense (323.0 ypg) ... OSU is averaging 31 points per game this year ... QB Matt Moore is 22nd in the NCAA in total offense (276.6 ypg) ... WR Mike Haas is a favored target, averaging 8.3 receptions per game, third-best in the NCAA this year ... Defensively, OSU gives up an average of 451.4 yards per game and are surrendering 35.7 points per contest.

Gaining Experience Now for the Future

The Wildcat defense is looking for someone to step up in the tackles department. Despite missing three games due to injury, LB Dane Krogstad remains second on the team in total tackles for the year with 38. Two players that has stepped up in the hits department have been JC transfer Michael Johnson and senor Copeland Bryan. Johnson, a physical SS, has 17 of his 29 total tackles in UA's last three games, while DE Bryan has his season-total of 22 tackles in UA's last four games, including a nine-tackle game against USC and a game-high seven stops against Oregon.

Dial M for Mike
Freshman wide receiver Mike Thomas had a career-best eight catches for the second consecutive game last week, and pushed his team-best season totals to 39 grabs for 460 yards. He's Arizona's all-time freshman receiver and with his 5.6 catches per game would hit the single-season receptions chart, peopled at No. 14 and No. 15 by Hank Stanton (50-820 in 1941) and Ron Gardin (48-892 in 1968), respectively. He passed Bobby Wade (30-454) for the freshman single-season lead a few games back. His two eight-grab games are just shy of the top 15 in that category.
It's on the edge of play. Senior defensive end Copeland Bryan notched his fifth sack of the year against a very mobile dude (Kellen Clemens) last week. With two more he'll have the most in this Millenium by a Wildcat, topping the 6.5 by linebacker Lance Briggs in 2001. He's also knocked down four passes, recovered and forced fumbles. All in four games played. He injured a leg on the first series of the season opener and missed NAU-Purdue.
Get the Bulbs Illuminated
Arizona's pass coverage against Oregon was improved enough to hold the Ducks to nearly 20 throws under their average outing, and give front line defenders time to make some tackles. On 28 attempts, the Cats broke up five passes and intercepted two others -- rendering 25% of the action ineffective. With throw-happy

I have a lab area with about 75 XP boxes in it. At logon, we map two served printers with the AddWindowsPrinterConnection method in a VBS. 5-10% of the time, the users find that the printers have not mapped successfully and their print jobs fail. If they reboot or log out, the printers will usually map successfully on the second try.
I'd like to add logic to my script to check if the printers mapped properly, and if not, rerun the AddWindowsPrinterConnection command - but I don't know how to check programmatically if a printer object has been mapped.
Or is there a more reliable strategy for mapping multiple printers persistently for these profiles? Are logon scripts still the best way to do this?
