Laser mapping can be used for surveying building conditions and exterior elevations, which then can be integrated into building information models.
While we may not realize it, 3-D imaging is part of our daily lives. Every time we access Google Maps for directions to a new destination, for example, we are employing 3-D imaging. This same technology—or a variation of it, laser mapping—is now available for use by architects and engineers for surveying building conditions and exterior elevations, which then can be integrated into building information models.
Building information modeling (BIM) is used to cultivate and foster a client's vision. With laser mapping, the effectiveness of BIM can be enhanced. Benefits of laser mapping include expedition of a design team's efforts, field-investigation time savings, increased accuracy of field data with definition of actual location, reduced safety risk (personnel do not have to climb ladders or reach around equipment), and further development of client electronic files of existing conditions. One of the most significant benefits is that engineers can spend their time more effectively, addressing actual engineering issues, rather than drafting issues. Yet despite these advantages, many design professionals shy away from laser mapping because of a lack of understanding of what it is and how to incorporate it into a project.
With 3-D laser mapping, laser beams rapidly scan the shapes of objects, and the time for the beams to travel to each point on the objects is calculated. From this scan, point clouds—data points that each are given an "X," "Y," and "Z" coordinate—are developed. The more beams projected in a given area and time frame (density), the more defined an image will be, resulting in a better end product. Density can be varied based on how detailed the survey needs to be, along with how many target points are used. Density and number of target points correlate directly to the cost of a scan. The use of 3-D laser mapping, along with increased computer power, is making imaging technology more effective, more precise, and more usable across platforms.

Police investigating after man suffers gunshot wound to leg
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Police are investigating an overnight shooting that left a man with a gunshot wound to this leg.
An officer was patrolling in the area of Van Teylingen Dr. And Jeannine Dr. shortly before 2:00 a.m. Saturday when he heard several gunshots. The officer then saw several cars quickly drive away. He stopped one of the cars.

A brand is the power of you on paper, in person, on the airwaves, or on screen. It is the extension of yourself that your marketing materials attempt to project. Brands work the same way whether large or small. The brands that succeed are the ones that are unique, but they're also the ones that are authentic. A brand must always come from the heart. It must define who you are. Your brand will only succeed if it represents the true picture of you.
A brand is a direct representation of you as well as your promise about what you will deliver to your customers or clients. You can't achieve it if you're not in tune with what you have to offer. With that in mind, let's examine a few key insights into how to develop a brand that is true to you and your mission.
- Determine your vision and your purpose. Ask yourself one question: "What is my business really about?" The goal of successful entrepreneurs is almost always to make something happen first and foremost. So what is it that you want to make happen? Answer that question honestly and thoroughly, then write it down in the fewest number of words possible.
- Build the right network. The point to take away from this segment is that not everyone belongs in your network. Some people can't help you. Some people won't deliver what they promise and others are just clutter for your contacts list. So build your network, but make sure everyone that stays in it is right for you and for your business.
- Conduct a SWOT Analysis. A SWOT Analysis is a method often attributed to strategic planning that calls for the analyzer to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) involved in a business venture, project, or in this case, brand. With a SWOT Analysis, you can create a detailed and honest assessment of where your brand soars and where it suffers. You can also find key avenues through which you might grow that brand, and of course determine potential threats to your brand awareness and uniqueness.
- Determine your target market. Ask yourself who is the most profitable segment of market that is likely to purchase your product or service. Once you've answered this question ... you may then craft your strategy to attracting these customers. As entrepreneurs, you must be clear on who you are targeting and how to attract these customers.
- Determine who your competition is. Sometimes the best answers to brand questions can be found out in the field. Often, if you're stuck on what your brand should be, the best way is to study what the competition is doing. It could be that there's something specific about their brand that might help you to shape your brand. Maybe you perceive a shortfall on the part of the competition's brand — one that will fit nicely into the brand you're trying to create. That is certainly something to capitalize on. Maybe from your survey into your target market, you have determined a flaw in something the competition is doing. Again, that is something that you can use to your competitive advantage.
- Remember the Three Cs for branding. The Three Cs for branding are Clarity, Consistency, and Constancy. With regard to clarity, you want your brand image, purpose, and message to be unassailably clear. When people see, think about, or learn about your brand, you want them to know immediately and exactly what you stand for. Consistency is a matter of keeping the message uniform. You can't present your brand in print differently than you do in person or on the radio/television. Constancy is a matter of getting the message out there to the point where it is almost ubiquitous. It means carefully considering how to position your brand to where it can have the most lasting impact.
- Conduct a brand assessment. Ask twenty of your customers to name one word that they would use to describe your brand. If your twenty responses all come back different, you need to work on your Consistency. If the large majority of them don't meet the message you were hoping to send, then your Clarity needs improvement.
- Deliver your authentic self. When building brand awareness, you must deliver your authentic self. Be original, be yourself, and be honest. The more of your authentic self that you bring to the table, the more successful you will likely become.
- Understand your value. There is only one you. That has value and that has power — but only if you know what your own personal value and power is. What do you bring to the table that no one else can? Why would someone want to invest in you and your company? What makes you different from everyone else? These are all questions whose answers belong in your brand consideration.
- Define your positioning strategy. When your customers think about your brand, what kinds of thoughts do you want them to have? When you have the answer to that question in mind, you're in position to craft a brand that will reach your target market effectively. Remember, however, that it's important to conduct a brand assessment every quarter to ensure that your message is being delivered and received properly.
As a final point, don't attempt to build your brand like anyone else. Be authentic. If you can be open and honest with yourself about your personal value, you won't need to fudge facts on your brand. Focus on your passions. Determine what it is that you're inherently good at, what value you bring to the table, and how you can make an impact in your chosen market.

A new study validates that taking green coffee bean extract could be an effective and safe way to shed some extra pounds.
"Based on our results, taking multiple capsules of green coffee extract a day — while eating a low fat, healthful diet and exercising regularly — appears to be a safe, effective, inexpensive way to lose weight," study author Joe Vinson, a chemist at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, said in a statement.
In a small 22-week study, researchers gave up to 1,050 milligrams of green coffee bean extract to 16 overweight adults in their 20s and monitored their diet, exercise regimen, weight, heart rate and blood pressure. Without changing their diet or exercise, study subjects lost roughly 10.5 percent — an average of 17 pounds – in overall body weight. No harmful side effects were noted, according to the study presented recently at the American Chemical Society national meeting in San Diego.
While the study results echo those of earlier studies; the key difference was that a larger dose of green coffee beans was used. An even bigger study of about 60 people is currently being planned, Vinson says.
ReNew Life formulates several natural weight loss formulas, some that include coffee bean extract, among other ingredients that have been studied to assist in weight loss.

NEW ORLEANS -- Jed York, the 49ers CEO, said Thursday he was embarrassed and frustrated by cornerback Chris Culliver's "very dumb" anti-gay comments at a recent Super Bowl media session.
"I saw him this morning and told him, 'It's up to you to live up to your apology,' " York said. "He made a bold statement of wanting to get to know the LGBT community."
Culliver apologized Wednesday night in a statement and expanded on that Thursday morning amid an intense and massive media session.
York met with reporters in a private room afterward at the 49ers hotel, and although he discussed several topics, Culliver's "juvenile" comments on homosexuality came first.
"You see a a football player that had an uninformed opinion," York said, "and now he can grow in his sort of experience and be a beacon for everybody in the locker room for the 49ers and hopefully throughout the NFL, to show it's more than what your uniformed, juvenile opinion is of something. And that's what I want to push Chris to do."
Culliver's plight interrupted what's been a "fun" week for York as the 49ers prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens. Here are other hot topics York discussed:
York likes the 49ers' chances if they play their style of football, but noted "the Ravens are going to be an unbelievably tough opponent." He is anticipating an emotional, physical game that probably will be won by whoever makes the least mistakes.
DeBartolo could land that Hall of Fame invitation Saturday, and York insisted a driving reason is DeBartolo's wherewithal to not only hire Bill Walsh but also become so revered. "Have you ever seen players love an owner as much as Eddie? It was not just because of the money. He opened up the 49ers and made it a family. He took care of people and loved people more than any owner in the history of sports."
York said he understood and that he didn't need to give his approval. "He makes the decision. It was controversial at the time but that's what head coaches do," York said. "It's paid off, and we'll see how it goes Sunday."
York raved about how well his hand-picked coach and general manager work together, something he knew would happen 10 minutes into Harbaugh's job interview two years ago. That's when Harbaugh asked to loosen his tie and put in some chewing tobacco, to which Baalke did the same. "I could see a mutual respect for each other," York said.
The door is not closed to sharing the $1.2 billion stadium with the Raiders, per the agreement the 49ers made during Santa Clara's ballot measure. York said Raiders owner Mark Davis is "evaluating all options" and that the teams are not in discussions about sharing the venue.

Your Jewellery Valuations.
However we highly recommend that an independent valuation is taken out for items that are worth more than £1000 as a safety measure for insurance purposes to assist in any possible claims for loss or theft.
To facilitate this recommendation we offer an independent valuation issued by SafeGuard at a discounted rate. This is the largest jewellery valuation company in the UK and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Birmingham Assay Office. SafeGuard valuations are also fully recognised by all major and leading insurance companies.
The Birmingham Assay Office is a non-profit organisation and was founded by an act of parliament in 1773 to provide protection to consumers, traders and manufacturers involved in the jewellery and precious metal industry.
SafeGuards valuers have access to the most sophisticated technology and expertise currently available.All jewellery valuations are produced by registered NAG (National Association of Goldsmiths) and qualified FGA (Fellow of the Gemmological Association) specialist and valuers.
The jewellery valuations are presented on high quality stationery and include clear digital images of the item with a full and detailed description of the jewellery piece. Each valuation authorised and dated by the valuation officer carries a unique registration number as well as the safe mark code (optional) used and of course the current valuation.
Most jewellery is uniquely marked for the ultimate security with a small discreet mark applied to the item for ultimate identification (optional but recomended).
All information is then stored onto their national database providing conclusive proof of ownership for yourself, the insurer and the police.
If lost or stolen and when SafeGuard is notified, the loss is entered onto a constantly updated register. If or when the item is recovered it can obviously and easily be traced back to you the rightful owner.
All information is strictly confidential and only released to the police or the insurer with your permission. This is especially useful for high value items such as diamond rings.
Alternatively we can provide a Jewellery Portfolio, which is an upgraded and premier quality valuation over the standard SafeGuard valuation. The portfolio is for those who not only want a full valuation but want something that is stylish, contemporary and upmarket.
Included in this unique package:-
· A full and comprehensive description with the jewellery valuation
· Large high quality digital picture of the jewellery item
· Helpful information to explain diamond grading, hallmarking and jewellery care
· Luxury presentation in a leatherette wallet
· Facility to easily add further valuations
Please allow an extra 5 days on your item for delivery when requesting a SafeGuard jewellery valuation.

Town Square
Pooch Parade back at First Wednesday August 2nd
Original post made by Ptown Mom, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 12, 2008
When thousands of humans gather downtown for the August First Wednesday street party next month, four-legged canines will join them, strutting their stuff in the popular Pooch Parade.
The parade coincides with the August street festival and will feature at least 100 dogs of all shapes, breeds and sizes, some costumed, others au naturel.
Registration begins at 5 p.m. The pooches will begin to line up around at Lions Wayside Park on First Street and the parade down Main Street starts at 6 p.m.
There will be contest categories pet owners can enter their dogs in.
The event, always a crowd pleaser, benefits the Tri-Valley Guide Dog Puppy Raisers, a local nonprofit that trains puppies to become guide dogs for the blind. For information, visit www.pleasantondowntown.net or trivalleyguidedogs.home.comcast.net

Oh it's too late to be clear on the details! Corrections below.
Date is August 6th!
Registration time is 6 pm.
Fee is $10.
Can someone please edit possibly!
Blame it on the heat and the smoke.

It was very hot during the pooch parade last summer. Some of the dogs were covered in costumes, and we all stood in the direct sun while people blabbered at us through a megaphone. Whatever they were saying was unintelligible and not important. The dogs were literally suffering in the heat. Dogs suffer far more in hot conditions, and it was terrible that they were made to stand on a hot day in direct sun, some with cloth costumes, while we listened to gibberish through a megaphone.

Do the organizers of this parade realize the pavement on Main Street is still hot at that time of day. Hot pavement can injure a dog's foot pads. I wouldn't allow my dog to be on pavement at that time of day. Can't this parade be held on grass in a nearby park.......
a resident of Livermore
on Jul 14, 2008 at 11:47 am
Animals do suffer in the heat. Ask that nobody put garments on their pooch, have plenty of water available and hold the parade on grass, preferably under shade trees.
If the organizers can't accomodate such a humane request, don't show up with your pets!

LinuxPrinting.org: Foomatic History
"Why the funny name?", you ask. It started off around spring 2000. CUPS was far less known than today. It shipped with a few generic "drivers" (good for a few hundred different printer models). These didn't support many device-specific options. CUPS also shipped with its own builtin rasterization filter ("pstoraster", derived from Ghostscript). On the other hand, CUPS had this brilliant support for *controlling* all printer options thru standarized and well-defined "PPD files" (PostScript Printers Description files). Plus, CUPS was designed to be easily extensible.
Grant had in his database already a respectable compilation of facts about a lot more printers, and the Ghostscript "drivers" they run with. His idea, to generate PPDs from the database info and use them to make standard Ghostscript filters work within CUPS, proofed to work very well. It also "killed several birds with one stone":
- it made all current and future Ghostscript filter developments available for CUPS;
- it made available a lot of additional printer models to CUPS users (because often the "traditional" Ghostscript way of printing was the only one available);
- it gave all the advanced CUPS options (web interface, GUI driver configurations) to users wanting to use Ghostscript filters.
It worked through a quickly-hacked up filter script named "cupsomatic". cupsomatic is running the printfile through Ghostscript, constructing automatically the rather complicated command line needed. It just required to be copied into the CUPS system to make it work. To "configure" the way cupsomatic controls the Ghostscript run, it needs a CUPS-PPD. This PPD was generated directly from the contents of the database for CUPS and the respective printer/filter combo thru another Perlscript named "CUPS-O-Matic".
After that was working, Grant implemented within a few days a similar thing for two other spoolers. Names choosen were pdqomatic and lpdomatic; the configuration here didn't use PPDs but other spooler-specific files. Towards the end of the year, Till started to put work into the database. He added a huge amount of new info and new printers. He also added support for other spoolers, like PPR (via ppromatic), GNUlpr and LPRng (both via an extended lpdomatic) and "spoolerless" printing (directomatic)....
Soooo, to answer your question: "Foomatic" is the generalization of all the "*omatic" thingies.... -- Foomatic up to versions 2.0.x required Perl data structures in the Linuxprinting.org PPDs. It had a different "*omatic" script for every spooler,
This all has changed in 3.0: there is now the Grand Unification of all *omatic scripts, the "foomatic-rip", which all the different spoolers may use. Because foomatic-rip can read PPDs, both original PostScript printer PPDs and Linuxprinting.org-generated ones, all of a sudden, all users of every single supported spooler will be able to access the power of PPDs, once they plug "foomatic-rip" into their system.... Also, the New Generation of Linuxprinting.org PPDs doesn't contain Perl data structures any more, If you have used the previous version of Foomatic, and want to give the new one a spin -- don't forget to generate a new-version PPD, via the new "foomatic-db-engine"!


text: I'm hesitant to use chemicals and antibiotics. Most of the beekeepers at the local club think that is naive. I have seen colloidal silver clear up bacterial and fungal infections in people and animals. I think its safe, so I've been adding it to the syrup on my new colony for the past week. I'm not sure how much to give them. I also am considering spraying them with colloidal silver when I open the hive again in a few weeks. Has anyone used colloidal silver?

If it wasent for the Porn Dollars where would the net be today?
SOON-We already lost the war. You are the resistance.
I think would cost us more to connect to it.
Originally, the internet was designed for fast global communications and global data access...
Internet Porn, however, came around with the invention of the Graphic User Interface (GUI) and computers that were finally able to run images easily...
With the invention of cable, broadband, and other uberfast connections, people can now download porn at alarming rates! Where people used to deal with just graphic pictures, we can now watch 3-hour porn movies within 20 minutes!
Also with the invention of Napster and other P2P softwares came the birth of the third breakthrough in internet porn... THEFT OF PORNOGRAPHY BY MEANS OF FILESHARING!!!!
As internet porn technology advances, more and more indecency filters like CyberNanny and EduTech are being created to try and keep children from downloading porn. However, the children of my and subsequent generations will ALWAYS learn how to crack/subvert internet filters to get to the soft chewy center of indecency and fetishes...
Ain't the 'net great!?
Ask questions first; Distance? Windage? Elevation?

I know Porn was big at uni - long before GUI was about - ... come to thin of it, I'm sure porn has been around for a very long time - wasn't voyeurism the downfall of king david?

David Burnett
UTSA's Burnett nabs Steve McCarty Citizenship Award
By Kyle Stephens
UTSA Sports Information Director
(May 24, 2006)--UTSA senior track and field student-athlete David Burnett (Corpus Christi, Texas/Carroll HS) and Amelia Mayeaux of Stephen F. Austin were chosen as the first recipients of the Southland Conference's Steve McCarty Citizenship Awards. The pair will be recognized at the SLC Honors' Ceremony at 7:15 p.m., June 1 in Galveston, Texas, at the San Luis Resort Spa and Conference Center.
The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award recognizes a Southland Conference male and female student-athlete who exhibits outstanding qualities in citizenship, sportsmanship, leadership and community service. In addition to the overall conference recipients, others nominated will also be honored with campus awards.

McCarty retired from SFA on August, 31, 2005. The Alto, Texas, native had been with SFA for 21 years, the last 15 as athletics director. McCarty is a two-time graduate of the university and is also a member of the SFA Alumni Association's "Football Coaches Hall of Honor." In addition, he will be inducted into the Southland Conference Hall of Honor on June 1.
"In the first year of this award, it's appropriate that David and Amelia were selected," league commissioner Tom Burnett said. "Their eagerness to fulfill community service and give back to others is exemplary, and is indicative of the type of student-athletes this award was intended."
From day one on campus, Burnett, a senior sprinter on the UTSA track and field team, demonstrated his willingness to adjust for the benefit of others by switching from the 100- and 200-meter dashes to the 400-meters.
At last week's SLC Outdoor Championship, Burnett scored three points for the second-place Roadrunners by placing sixth in the 400 with a time of 47.65. He also ran the anchor leg of the 4x100-meter relay team which placed fourth with a time of 40.59 seconds.
In 2005, Burnett was the SLC Indoor champion in the 400-meter run with a time of 49.19 and finished fifth outdoors at 48.28. He has scored points (top eight) in the 400m at the last three SLC Indoor and Outdoor Championships and helped the 4x400-meter relay team to top-three finishes at two outdoor meets.
Credited as a "team leader" by head coach Aaron Fox, Burnett is also labeled as a gracious winner who never gloats in any way about his performance. After races, he can always be seen shaking hands with his competitors. He has been recognized by others for this character as he was a finalist for the John Wooden Golden Cup Citizenship Award.
Off the track, Burnett has worked his way up the ladder to the coordinator of intramural programs position with UTSA Campus Recreation, where he is responsible for entries, scheduling and officials training for more than 10 sports.
Burnett also stands out within the Roadrunner athletic department as a leader and willing volunteer of his time to help with many community service projects. Included was the inaugural "Swipe for Kidsake!" program where UTSA student-athletes donated swipes from their on-campus meal program towards a free meal for 75 children at the Roy Maas Alternative Center, a refuge for abused or run-away children.
Burnett has also volunteered at the Elf Louise Christmas Gift Wrapping Project, the Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Relief Program, Roundball Ruckus, NBA Hoop It Up and the HEB Buddy/UTSA Christmas Project.
As part of his job with the UTSA Campus Recreation Department, Burnett works freshman orientation camps, helping with team-building activities. He is also an active member and praise and worship leader with UTSA's FCA and served as chair of the public relations sub-committee on the UTSA SAAC in 2004-05. He was elected by his peers to serve as SAAC President for the 2005-06 academic year.
The kinesiology major was recently asked to be on the UTSA Dean's Advisory Council. In that role, he meets with campus administrators to discuss student needs and helps with incoming freshman class advising.
A volleyball student-athlete from League City, Texas, who graduated this month with a degree in marketing, Mayeaux serves as the president of the SFA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and secretary of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes group at the university.
In September, before the volleyball season was underway, Mayeaux suffered a career-ending injury and was not able to don a Ladyjack uniform for what was going to be her final season as a Ladyjack. At a time when many would have folded and walked away, Mayeaux continued her 'Jack ways, showing up and supporting her team.
As president of the SFA SAAC, Mayeaux is dedicated to the concerns and welfare of all student-athletes. She worked to establish programs to bolster student-athlete attendance at as fans at all SFA sporting events.
Over the years, Mayeaux has been very instrumental in establishing various community support projects for all student-athletes and students alike, In the fall of 2004, Mayeaux learned about a local church program looking for a way to provide Christmas gifts for underprivileged youth in their "Glory Gang" program. She stepped in with the "Blessing Tree" program where student-athletes, coaches and staff were able to select a youth and provide a "blessing" for that youth's Christmas. The Blessing Tree has provided almost 300 Christmas gifts in the last two years.
The SFA student-athlete Bowl-4-Cans program was also started under Mayeaux' leadership. The annual event has student-athletes donate canned goods for a local homeless shelter in return for a night of bowling and fun.
In addition to the SLC honor, Mayeaux also earned the first-ever SFA Steve McCarty Citizenship Award.

We offer a lovely and totally independent apartment located in Vicolo Scavolino, at 150 mt. walk from the famous Fountain, one of the most spectacular monuments of ancient Rome, meeting point for all those who decide to spend their Roman vacation, monument admired throughout the world and a source of inspiration for many of the most famous Italian vintage movies. Symbol, for all, of the city, not surprisingly are attributed to the fountain legends and anecdotes that have become part of popular culture in Rome, for example, the best-known tradition says that throwing a coin into the fountain, his back to her, there is a propitious future return to the city as well as luck and the possibility that all of our dreams become reality.
At the entrance there is a comfortable sofa bed for two people, a table with chairs, a TV on the wall, a sideboard with wall to store everything you need. Immediately after, there is a small kitchenette with electric hob and oven, a colored bathroom with shower and, finally, to access to the sleeping area you climb through the living room, by a small ramp of 10 steps coming in the loft (the sleeping area is on a mezzanine floor which is accessed from the living room), that makes this part really characteristic and pleasant, equipped with a double bed. The apartment offers a free unlimited Wi-Fi, clean linen, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, air conditioning hot/cold completely independent.
I think it's needless to say that it's at the center of the nightlife of ancient Rome, where you can find the most famous and beautiful restaurants, pizzerias, wine bar and shops of the city. It's just a few steps from the famous Spagna square with its characteristic staircase that links the panoramic gardens of the Pincio, near those who are among the most famous and elegant shopping streets, such as Via Sistina, Via Veneto, Piazza Barberini, or even, Via della Vite, Via Borgognona, Via Frattina, Via Condotti, Via del Babuino until the famous Popolo square, passing through the most luxurious shops of the Italian and international fashion.
Always near the apartment, you can admire the famous palace of the Italian Parliament, through the long Via del Corso, if it's all covered up in the end, leads to the wonderful Altar of the Nation of Venezia square and, walking through the ruins of the ancient Romans, along the immense Via dei Fori Imperiali, finally you can reach the impressive Colosseum.
The apartment is then connected to all the lines of public transports in Rome and it's just 15 minutes from the central railway station of the city, Termini Station.
The flat has one comfortable double sofa bed futon also where could sleep another person, so on the top level of the flat there is the double bed and on the ground level where there is the living room there is the sofa bed, but I think you have seen these details by the photos of the advert and the description which are very clear.
There's not a separated bedroom, it has a loft with a double bed.
House rulesIf at the moment of the check-in the arrival time is from 9 pm there is an add cost of € 20,00 to directly give the receptionist at the moment of the arrival.

Reviews of this property
very good location.
The apartment was good and clean.The negative was the smell of damp and that there was no daylight.
The apartment is in a fantastic place, in trevi, it's small and has facilities for short stays. There is only a narrow window that we keep covered with the blind because is on the street level.
We spent about a week in the Easter Holiday Apartment in prime location in Rome! The apartment is centrally located and yet quiet neighborhood just 1 minute's walk from the beautiful "Fontana di Trevi" in a small alley. Nearby are many restaurants, ice cream and shopping. Almost all sights are easily reached from there on foot. The apartment is very comfortably furnished and well equipped (many kitchen utensils, dishes, towels, microwave, TV, heating and much more). We have felt very comfortable here and would definitely come again.
Wir verbrachten über Ostern eine Woche in dem Ferien-Appartment in Bestlage in Rom! Die Wohnung liegt ganz zentral und doch ruhig nur ca. 1 Gehminute vom wunderschönen "Fontana di Trevi" in einer kleinen Gasse. In unmittelbarer Nähe sind viele Restaurants, Eisdielen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Nahezu alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind von dort gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet (viele Küchenutensilien, Geschirr, Handtücher, Mikrowelle, TV, Heizung und vieles mehr). Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.
Delicious stay in Rome in part by Emanuela and his comfortable apartment and well placed close to the Trevi Fountain, in a central, pleasant, very lively and very well supplied with restaurants with terraces. We were received by Mr. Bruno who, despite our two hours late, kindly awaited our arrival at the apartment. This apartment allows very easy access, on foot or by public transport to the most visited historical sites of Rome. We will return and we will advise this website and Emanuela apartment to our friends.
Délicieux séjour à Rome en partie grâce à Emanuela et son appartement confortable et particulièrement bien placé à proximité immédiate de la Fontaine de Trévi, dans un quartier central, agréable, trés animé et trés bien pourvu en restaurants avec terrasses. Nous avons été recus par M. Bruno qui, malgré nos deux heures de retard, a gentiment attendu notre arrivée à l'appartement. Cet appartement permets d'accéder trés facilement, à pieds ou en transports en commun aux sites historiques les plus visités de Rome. Nous reviendrons et nous conseillerons ce site internet et l'appartement d'Emanuela à nos amis.
we had a great apartment, nice and in a perfect location, really 2 steps from the Trevi Fountain. Emanuela was extremely available!
ci siamo trovati benissimo, appartamento bello ed in una posizione perfetta, veramente a 2 passi dalla fontana di Trevi. Emanuela è stata disponibilissima!
Our stay was perfect, the perfect, comfortable new apartment, in perfect condition, had absolutely everything (giant and comfortable bed with linens, sofa beds, very bright, stoves, bathroom with towels dryer and all cooking and dining with all imaginable utensils and even food ...), Mauro was the guy who taught us and gave us super friendly keys we explained everything in detail and was willing to solve our every problem, but we did not have one . The apartment is in perfect situation, just go right you find the famous Trevi Fountain, and all at a step, actually saw toooda Rome walking! A 20-minute walk from Termini Station and less than 10 of one of the Metro stations. The area is full of restaurants, ice cream shops, cafes and various places to eat, and there is a Super. No doubt if we will surely be so, would repeat accommodations! Really, amazing, thank you for all that this trip will be in our heart forever.
Nuestra estancia fue perfecta, el piso perfecto, cómodo, nuevo, en perfectas condiciones, tenía absolutamente DE TODO (cama gigante y cómoda con ropa de cama, sofá cama, muy iluminado, estufas, baño con toallas secador y de todo, cocina y comedor con todos los utensilios que puedas imaginar e incluso comida...), Mauro que fue el chico que nos lo enseñó y nos dio las llaves súper amable, nos lo explicó todo detalladamente y estaba dispuesto a solucionarnos cualquier problema, aunque no tuvimos ni uno. El piso se encuentra en perfecta situación, solo salir a mano derecha te encuentras la famosa Fontana di Trevi, y todo a un paso, de hecho vimos toooda Roma caminando! A 20 minutos caminando de la estación Termini y a menos de 10 de una de las estaciones de Metro. La zona está llena de restaurantes, heladerías, cafeterías y sitios varios para comer, y además hay un Super. Sin duda si volvemos que seguramente será así, repetiríamos alojamiento! De verdad, una pasada, gracias por todo porque este viaje nos quedará en el corazón toda la vida.
Good morning! I can only speak well of my stay in Rome, the apartment is clean and functional, the bed very comfortable and for me this is very important!
Plenty of water for the shower and is absolutely not true, as I read in a review that sometimes you can smell the exhaust. I can say that in three days the only public transportation used were those for the arrival and departure, everything else we did walk to the center and being close to many monuments, some turn out well for the city would take at least a month but in three days we have seen many things while walking. Emanuela was very helpful and his father Mr. Bruno, who greeted us on arrival, just as friendly. Council to take advantage of this opportunity. I cordially greet Emanuela and her father, but I am very happy to be back in my beloved Sardinia
Buongiorno! Posso parlare solo bene del mio soggiorno a Roma, l'appartamento è pulito e funzionale, il letto molto comodo e questo per me è molto importante!
Acqua abbondante per la doccia e non è assolutamente vero, come ho letto in una recensione che a volte si sente puzza di scarico. Posso dire che in tre giorni gli unici mezzi pubblici utilizzati sono stati quelli per l'arrivo e la partenza, tutto il resto lo abbiamo fatto a piedi essendo al centro e vicino a tantissimi monumenti, certo per girare bene la città ci vorrebbe almeno un mese, ma in tre giorni abbiamo visto passeggiando tantissime cose. Emanuela è stata molto disponibile e suo padre Signor Bruno, che ci ha accolto all'arrivo, altrettanto gentile. Consiglio di approfittare di questa opportunità. Saluto cordialmente Emanuela e suo padre, ma sono molto contenta di essere tornata nella mia amata Sardegna
Beautiful apartment near the Trevi fountain but remains calm. The Pantheon is also nearby. Easy to get around by bus or subway.
Très bel appartement à côté de la fontaine Trévi mais qui reste calme. Le panthéon est également proche. Facilité pour se déplacer en bus ou en métro.
Estupendo para parejas. Al lado de la Fontana de Trevi e ideal para ver toda Roma andando si te gusta pasear. Cocina y baño algo antiguos pero correctos si no tienes pensado cocinar mucho. El trato muy correcto y agradable. Nos dejaron dejar las maletas en el apartamento hasta la hora de salida al aeropuerto. Muy recomendable. Mi pareja y yo volveríamos sin dudarlo.

Arsène Wenger says being favourites to claim third place means nothing - and that their attitude during the run-in is vital.
Arsenal moved into third spot for the first time this season on Wednesday night as they beat Everton while Tottenham were held by Stoke.
Wenger insists that his team must maintain their focus and not "ease off" if they are to finish the campaign in the top three.
"We are favourites because we are in third, but being favourite never meant a lot," he said. "We must just put every effort in to do it.
"As soon as you ease off, things change quickly. We have tricky fixtures and how well we finish depends on our attitude. If we keep our attitude, we have a chance."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hunting Cape Buffalo in the Zambeze Delta of Mozambique
Mozambique is THE place for hunting Cape buffalo
When hunting cape buffalo here, there will be many opportunities as this free range area in Mozambique holds an estimated population of 20,000 Buffalo. The spectrum of wildlife in this Mozambique hunting concession is quite remarkable, having 22 huntable game species from the tiny Livingstone Suni, to the Cape buffalo. This is the best place in Africa to get your cape buffalo for a reasonable price where the hunting AND the government is predictable.
Hunting cape buffalo in this Mozambique buffalo hunting area is one of the few places in Africa where you can still do a Classical African Safari today."
Talk to a Consultant about Mozambique Buffalo Hunting »
Mozambique Buffalo Hunting Season
Winter, from April to September, is the dry season, and it is the best time for hunting cape buffalo in Mozambique.
Buffalo Hunting Method
You will hunt buffalo in varied terrain; grass & palm savannas, forest & swamp. You and your PH will spot and stalk on large herds of Buffalo in efforts to select the trophy of your dreams. There will be many opportunities as this free range area hold an estimated population of 20,000 Buffalo.
This area is also known for exceptional Sable, Nyala, Waterbuck and Warthog.
Success Rates and Trophy Quality
Mozambique is situated in South East Africa, and these official safari concessions cover 5000 square kilometers of some of the most diverse cape buffalo habitat in Africa.
A long term lease with the Mozambique government has ensured sound management practices which have made these areas some of the finest free ranging buffalo hunting in Africa today.
Trophy quality is superb on these Mozambique buffalo hunts, providing record book animals regularly. Success rate is not based on if you will get a cape buffalo, it is based on WHICH old, heavy, wide buffalo you are interested in." ~Mike White
Hunters fly into Beira International Airport and a short charter finds you landing in one of the most pristine hunting concessions in Africa.
Climate and Weather in Mozambique
The climate in Mozambique ranges from tropical to subtropical and varies in the different regions of the country. The rainy season coincides with the heat and humidity of the hot months, between November–March. The average yearly temperature for Mozambique is 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius).
Winter, from April to September, is the dry season, and it is the best time to visit the country. The average temperature in the winter for the coastal areas does not fall below 57 degrees Fahrenheit (12 degrees Celsius).
*Mozambique does have Malaria areas. Consult your doctor prior to your hunt. Your PH carries a first aid kit, and medical services are available nearby.
Game Care
Your PH will have skinners available to care for all game that is taken on your hunt.
There are four main camps within the Mozambique buffalo hunting concessions. Two are permanent camps.
Mungari Camp
This is a typical East African styled tented camp with Bathrooms en-suite. There are seven tents accommodating two clients in each. The camp is set in the lush tropical sand forests which hold an abundance of bird life.
Ngazi Camp
This camp was used by the Portuguese hunters in the late 60's. The camp is built out of brick and mortar and has four rooms with bathrooms en-suite.
Non Hunter Activities
The most popular areas for vacationing in Mozambique is the South Coast. Particularly Maputo, formerly known as Lourenco Marques, and the islands of Inhaca, Benquerra and Bazaruto.
This PH owns two beach front houses in the bazaruto Archipelago. Along with a deep sea boat they offer fishing, diving, snorkeling, and exploring in and around the Archipelago.[widgets_on_pages id="AGENT FORM – OI Hunts"] [widgets_on_pages id="GEAR"]

Spring Creek miners: 'It was decided before we walked in'
Miners were emotional after a meeting with Minister of State Owned Enterprises Tony Ryall today saying the minister had made up his mind over their proposal before the meeting began. Mr Ryall said the Government would not offer a one-off cash injection to support Spring Creek mine. Spring Creek miner Trevor Bolderson was fighting off tears after the meeting with the minister this afternoon, saying he might be forced to move overseas to get a job. Mr Bolderson said he wasn't looking forward to driving home and didn't know what he would tell his wife. He didn't know how he would meet his mortgage repayments, and feared losing his home.

Looks logical and beautiful to me, but I don't have an embroidering machine. If the narrow strips seem loose in your hoop, could you embroider before you cut the strips?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Looks logical and beautiful to me, but I don't have an embroidering machine. If the narrow strips seem loose in your hoop, could you embroider before you cut the strips?
You want to make sure you have enough stabilizer on the back of your sash - if your fabric moves during the embroidery process you'll find it will mess up the threads and mess up your sash. I've embroidered on sashes before - but I leave it the width of the hoop for better stabilization. Good luck.
The piece of backing I used is very small and I don't believe you will even notice that it is there when the quilt is done.
Where there's a will, there's a way :thumbup: :thumbup: . Congratulations on doing it "your" way!!
I have the Janome 6600P and LOVE LOVE LOVE it and have just recently gotten the 300E and might learn to love it when I learn how to use it. It's quite a learning curve for me and I have no one close by that has one that I can work with. I'm reading and keeping track of all the tips I can possibly learn on here to make it easier to use the Embroidery machine.Originally Posted by btiny36
Too bad you didn't post here first! LOL I make pageant sashes all the time and they are about 3-4 inches across. I use sticky stabilizer and then a tearaway on top of the sticky where the embroidery will be. Works great. Your way will work well, too.
On another note, I need to try doing them with my Magna Hoop. Not suppose to have to hoop stabilizer except what you need to support the embroidery and you can just pin that on. The magnets hold the sash in place.
Don't you just hate it when the "experts" make a simple procedure complicated. :)
LOLLLLLL! Purvissp, just love the story on how you got started with embroidery and quilting. That sounds like something i would do. I do not like waiting arond for other people if i can do it myself.
Your wife is one lucky gal!

Good on you for trying new ideas. That 'expert' at the shop should have known this has been done for years. I would suggest that you also place a strip of stabiliser from side to side in the hoop, to help prevent the stitching pulling the fabric in at the sides. It happens with heavily stitched designs. And yes, you can also get different types of wash away stabiliser, also sticky back ones. check out Jenny Haskins website and blog - all will be explained.

Executive Summary
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has undertaken a number of initiatives during the period to assist ED managers in implementing their responsibilities under current and impending legis-lative and regulatory mandates. Highlights of our efforts follow.
As major reauthorizations approach, the OIG is working with ED managers to shape Department legislation for the next century. This period, the Office of Inspector General has undertaken a number of initiatives with that goal in mind.
Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act
This period we met with departmental and congressional staff, and others knowledgeable in the student financial assistance (SFA) pro-grams, to assist us in determining the types of reviews necessary for the OIG to have effec-tive input to the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 1998. Many of our ongoing reviews and planned audits in the areas of student loans, contracting, gatekeeping, and oversight will help in assessing whether legis-lative changes are needed.
Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
As a result of our earlier work with program managers and staff, state and local officials, and congressional staff, we identified issue ar-eas to support the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1999. This period, following up on that in- itiative, we began the first in a series of audits designed to assist the Department and Congress in the reauthorization effort.
Regulatory ActivitiesThe Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services is in the process of revising Rehabilitation Act regulations to include controls over state funding of the establishment authority for community rehabilitation programs to address concerns raised in OIG audits of these programs. The audits raised issues with regard to the efficiency of community rehabilitation programs that either do not primarily benefit vocational rehabilitation clients or benefit them at higher costs than alternative sys-tems providing such services.
The revised regulations of the State Vocational Rehabilitation Services program address the concerns raised by the OIG and are expected to require that state agencies serve only those individuals whoare applicants and are eligible under the Vocational Rehabilitation program. The revised regulations are also expected to require that state agencies describe in the state plan the need to establish, develop or improve, as appropriate, a community rehabilitation program to provide services to applicants and eligible individuals.
Congressional TestimonyThe Inspector General testified before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities, on two issues of significant import relative to the Department's SFA programs. The Inspector General's testimony is summarized below. Additional information is provided in Abstract 3, "Initiatives Conducted in Response to Congressional Requests."
OPE management review
At the request of the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities, the Inspector General provided testimony regarding the OIG's management review of the Office of Student Financial Assistance Programs. The review focused on the administration for the period of time when the Federal Family Education Loan program and the Federal Direct Student Loan program were separate components of the Office of Postsecondary Education. During the hearing, the Inspector General stressed OIG's recommendation that the Office of Postsecondary Education move forward and implement its plan to select a chief operating officer to head the Office of Student Financial Assistance and administer the multibillion-dollar loan programs. As of the end of the reporting period, no chief operating officer had been named.
Gatekeeping in the student financial assistance programs
The Inspector General testified before the House Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, about continuing problems with the gatekeeping process for ensuring that only high-quality schools participate in the Federal SFA programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act.
Few have adopted quantifiable and objective performance standards
Focusing on short-term, non-degree-granting, vocational schools, the Inspector General told the Subcommittee that OIG audits found that very few accrediting agencies have adopted quantifiable and objective performance stan- dards for such schools, and that no accrediting agencies used performance standards as enforcement mechanisms to eliminate substandard schools from accreditation and therefore Title IV participation.
Rather, the performance standards that exist are treated as mere goals by the accrediting agencies and by the Department of Education. The result is that students and taxpayers are not always getting their money's worth for the $8.8 billion spent annually on postsecondary vocational training.
Legislation of standards recommended
The Inspector General advocated that, with respect to the non-degree-granting, vocational trade schools sector, Congress legislate consistent, measurable, objective standards which schools would have to meet in order to be eligible to participate in the SFA programs,particularly in the areas of job placement and student achievement.
OIG Efforts in Postsecondary EducationOIG efforts this period in the postsecondary education arena focused on several important areas. Our activities in these areas are highlighted in the pages that follow.
Direct Loan program audits
This period we initiated a project to assess how well the Direct Loan program is functioning at the school level. We plan to issue a consolidated report based on the audits of 17 Direct Loan schools in the next reporting period. Our report will contain details of problems being experienced by individual schools, as well as problems that may be systemic, with appropriate recommendations for corrective action.
SFA student eligibility controls
This period we reviewed the adequacy of controls in the Department's systems for screening to assure that only eligible students are awarded student financial assistance (SFA) funds. Our review determined that the Department has not completed an independent security review and formal risk analysis as required by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and that existing controls may not prevent data manipulation and the awarding of SFA funds to ineligible students. The report recommended an independent security review along with formal risk analysis and strengthened controls (see Abstract 1, "Significant Audits and Audit-Related Activities.")
Loan consolidation
We continued to find that guaranty agencies are retaining excessive amounts from payoffs on the consolidation of defaulted loans by improperly reporting the consolidations to ED as collections. Under the Department's regulations, guaranty agencies may retain up to 18.5 percent for consolida- tions, but are allowed to retain 27 percent on collections.
We first identified this condition in 1994 and the Department promptly published guidance in March 1994 to address the above concerns, yet this condition still has not been corrected. This period we issued audit reports on six guaranty agencies recommending that they refund more than $4 million of improperly retained funds (see Abstract 1, "Significant Audits and Audit-Related Activities.")
Federal Family Education Loan program lenders
In the area of the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, the OIG is continuing to devote significant resources to investigations relating to instances of alleged falsification of loan collection efforts (e.g., due diligence) involving federally guaranteed student loans. Later in this report, we describe the results of our recently concluded investigation of AmSouth Bank, Birmingham, Alabama. In that case, AmSouth agreed to pay ED over $5.7 million in restitution and civil penalties for falsified collection efforts on guaranteed student loans (see Abstract 2, "Significant Prosecutive Actions Resulting from OIG Investigations.")
Ongoing investigations involving lenders and servicers
The OIG has several other ongoing investi-gations involving lenders and servicers who have engaged in activities similar to AmSouth. Those investigations have the potential to in-validate the reinsurance claims on multimillion-dollar student loan portfolios.
Bank charged with falsifying collection histories
For example, in June 1994 a civil fraud complaint was filed against First Tennessee Bank,Memphis, Tennessee, by the U.S. Department of Justice (Semiannual Report No. 29, page 26). The complaint alleged that First Tennessee employees falsified collection histories on student loan default claims totaling about $1.3 million. Since the filing of the complaint in June 1994, the OIG has continued to assist the Department of Justice with discovery respond-ing to a variety of pre-trial motions and trial preparation. This case is currently scheduled for trial in March 1997.
Departmental OperationsFinancial statement audit
The Government Management Reform Act (GMRA), passed in 1994, mandates agencywide financial statements for fiscal year 1996. The Department of Education elected to produce financial statements for fiscal year 1995 at the Department level, one year ahead of the implementation date set by GMRA. We contracted with an independent public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the FY 1995 consolidated financial statements. Their reports were delivered to the Department in August and included in the Department's first accountability report.
Auditors unable to express opinion
The independent public accountants were un-able to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements primarily because certain amounts related to the FFEL program could not be supported by sufficient and reliable accounting information and certain differences between financial statement amounts and un- derlying accounting records could not be adequately explained.
Corrective action plan in process
Management agreed with the need to further improve FFEL program data; however, they believe that the reported FFEL program liabilities for loan guarantees are reasonable. Management is analyzing the recommendations to determine the best way to proceed toward achieving the desired results before developing a comprehensive corrective action plan.
Reviews of administrative operations
We are working in partnership with various departmental managers conducting management reviews focused primarily on the Department's administrative operations systems, processes, policies, and procedures. Reviews are aimed at identifying systemic problems and weaknesses up front and gen- erating solutions for more efficient and better work processes.
Audit Quality Improvement InitiativesRevision to single audit requirements
The Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 were enacted on July 5, 1996. This legislation will affect the audits of thousands of Department of Education grant recipients that are conducted by nonFederal auditors.
In 1993, an interagency team led by OIG staff, under the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE), issued a report, Study on Improving the Single Audit Process. Since then, OIG has worked extensively with OMB and the General Accounting Office on revising the legislation and OMB implementing guidance. Virtually all of the recommendations in the PCIE report requiring legislative change have been incorporated in the Amendments.
We believe that the Amendments and implementing OMB guidance will provide for more efficient and effective audit coverage of Department programs.
Revision to audit guidance for audits of guaranty agencies
This period, we issued revised guidance for non-Federal audits of guaranty agencies. This guidance includes specific audit steps to audit the billings and reports sent to ED by guaranty agencies to assure that they are materially correct. Inadequate audit coverage of these reports has been cited as a material internal control weakness in the 1995 Department-wide financial statement audit and prior financial statement audits of the Federal Family Education Loan program.
Training initiatives
This period, OIG staff undertook two training initiatives aimed at improving the performance of in- dependent public accountants (IPAs) who audit Department of Education programs.
In cooperation with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), OIG staff presented a one-day training program for IPAs who audit schools that receive funding under Title IV SFA programs. The training was presented in eight cities.
We are also developing, with the AICPA, a training course for IPAs who perform audits for the U.S. government under the new attestation standards. This course is needed since the standards are relatively new and ED is the only governmental department requiring audits under these standards so far. We are expecting to complete this project in the next reporting period.
Cooperative audit resolution
As reported in previous Semiannual Reports, we have been working with an intra-departmental team on a wide-ranging project known as the Cooperative Audit Resolution and Oversight Initiative, or CAROI. Other offices participating in the CAROI initiative include the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the Office of the General Counsel, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The following activities were accomplished during the reporting period as part of this initiative.
IASA compliance supplement
As part of this initiative, the CAROI team revised the compliance supplement for Educa- tion programs reauthorized under the Improv- ing America's Schools Act (IASA). This supplement was issued in June 1996 in time for auditors to use during the first audits of programs reauthorized under the IASA.
Cooperative audit resolution pilot
During this period, the CAROI team completed the first cooperative resolution pilot with Florida. As part of a settlement agreement, Florida and Department officials jointly de- signed a substitute time-distribution system that helped resolve longstanding audit issues in Florida relating to keeping time-distribution records. Florida's substitute system can be adopted by other state and local agencies look-ing to reduce the burdens of OMB Circular A-87.
IASA regional conferences
Also this period, the CAROI team made presentations to state and local officials at the first of three regional conferences for IASA. The team is participating on a White House task force on flexibility and financing issues that is, in part, considering how the CAROI concept could be used by other Federal agencies.
Statutory Federal Law Enforcement AuthorityMuch of the investigative work done by OIG special agents is very similar to that of other Federal law enforcement agents who possess statutory Federal law enforcement authority. Historically, ED/OIG agents were at a severe disadvantage that at times put them in danger because they lacked this authority.
Full blanket special deputation
This period, ED/OIG entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Justice that grants full blanket special deputation authority to special agents of the OIG. The terms of this MOU are similar to the ones contained in the MOUs signed by the seven OIGs that were originally granted such authority in 1995. The terms of the ED/ OIG's MOU are effective until September 30, 1997.
Intensive training for OIG agents
In preparation for entering into this MOU, so as to be in full compliance with its provisions, the Education OIG put all its special agents through an intensive two-week refresher training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia. In addition, the OIG has developed internal policies and procedures as guidance and direction for its special agents while operating under this blanket special deputation authority.

Mann Lake's price was right in line but they said they only sell and likely that their machine will only assemble wedged bars. Have to buy quite a few this winter and I can already tell I'm not going to like my stapler by the time all's said and done. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

5. New Orleans (1-0). Easy to see the difference between last year's team and this one: a competent defense. Akiem Hicks, Cameron Jordan and Junior Galette pressured Matt Ryan enough so you could see how bothered he was by the pressure by the middle of the game.
Sean Payton, head coach, New Orleans. Almost gave this to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, but Payton, as the captain of this ship for the first time since the last game of the 2011 season, showed the Saints can pick up where they left off in their days of dominance. The Saints had the discipline on both sides of the ball they often lacked last year, and Drew Brees had the sounding board he missed for 16 weeks. Payton is now 11-2 against the formidable Falcons.
Kenny Stills, fifth-round pick, Saints. Ridiculous. He's a field-stretcher in a sophisticated offense, and it's only Week 1.
The first big hit of Kenny Vaccaro's career. He torpedoed into a sliding Matt Ryan, a clear penalty.
Yeah, while that penalty was pretty dumb, after I saw him come up slow I said sure I'll take 15 yards for that
quote:Matt Ryan is not their problem IMO.
But the Falcons forum is already goign balistic that they gave him a $100 million contract.
I thought it was Greer who hit Ryan
Matt Ryan is not their problem IMO.
since ryan wasn't injured, and only rattled, the penalty was worth it IMO
It was a late slide and nowhere near the head.
I'd rather my defense try to attack than pussy foot around.
I'd say a rare time where the penalty was worth it.

BTW.......Coughlin did a fantastic job of having the team ready to play both physically and emotionally again today but dammit, he completely blew the clock management AGAIN at the end of the first half!
On 4th down, he called a timeout with 15 seconds left and a full playclock to try and attempt our FG at the end of the first half.
Why on earth he called timeout with 15 seconds left instead of running it down to 1 or 2 seconds and kicking the ball, since it was 4th down, I will NEVER know but it nearly cost us 3 points!
After the block field goal, San Fran ran one play and completed a 30+ yard pass and put Akers well within range for a field goal that would have made it 10-6 going into the half. Thankfully he missed for the second time in the game, but again, that was piss poor clock management by Coughlin.
A small gripe on an otherwise fantastic day but come on Tom, gotta get better with that buddy! There was absolutely no reason whatsoever not to run that clock down to 1 or 2 seconds to kick that ball. Anyone care to disagree with THAT point?

As giggling stewardesses attracted Frank to pose as a pilot, nurses at a party prompt Frank to pose as a pediatrician. Soon "Dr. Connors" is supervising an Atlanta emergency room. He falls for one of the nurses, Brenda Strong (Aubrey Mae Davis). Sick of pretending and wanting to settle down, he gets a job as a lawyer from his fiancée's father. The musical departs from the film and book by having the FBI secretly follow Brenda to the airport rather than her setting him up for capture there. Actually, he escaped and fled to France where he was imprisoned and where Carl caught up with him.
Unlike many musicals, where slow songs are too often sentimental stem-winders, the slow-tempo ones here propel the characters, such as Hanratty's thoughtful "The Man Inside the Clues" and "Don't Be a Stranger" by Frank Sr. Not that the upbeat songs are slouches. Frank runs away from home to the driving "Someone Else's Skin," which gives emotion to his motivation, and Hanratty's energetic "Don't Break the Rules" does the same while providing an exciting production number and FBI agent kick line.
This musical is a mischievous treat. Catch it if you can.

text: I have a 2009 Express 2500 van that has a leaking washer fluid reservoir tank. I am trying to remove it to patch the leak on the bottom but cannot figure out how to remove the tank. I removed the bolt holding the tank to the flange and also removed the small strut from the front to the top side of the fender but there still is no room to wiggle it out. The horn on the bottom was also removed to gain more room but I cannot get it out. It seems to me like the brake lines to the master cylinder has to be removed so the tank can pulled up and out. Is this correct? Is there any other way?

Problem '354: Lift Off'
Earlier today, Problem captured my attention with a fresh new freestyle alongside Childish Gambino over the DJ Quik classic "Dollaz & Sense" and it was the last precursor to the new mixtape, 354: Lift Off. Across the 13 new tracks, Bad Lucc also appears and Problem does his thing on the summer's hottest beats from "0 to 100" to "2 On", and the infectious "Hot N****". 5 tracks in and you hear all the above; I was impressed with Problem's flows and rhymes on just those alone. Worth a listen/download below.
