"Thanks to Dr. Cox's help, my grandson now has a smile on his face: he's learned to advocate for himself and command respect. In this book, you too can discover the tools to nurture and guide 'boys of few words' into articulate, healthy, and happy young men."Hedy Perkin-Geist, grandmother of a 9-year-old
"We now know that boyhood is a lot more complex than 'snips and snails and puppy dog tails.' In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Cox explains the importance of language in boys' development and their future success and happiness, and provides useful, field-tested strategies for improving and enhancing crucial language capabilities. This compelling, readable, and insightful book will contribute immeasurably to your understanding of the boys in your life. I recommend it highly to parents, teachers, and coaches."Richard D. Lavoie, author of It's So Much Work to Be Your Friend
"Dr. Cox is onto something important, and his suggestions for helping boys develop critical communication skills are both readable and practical. Parents and teachers will be grateful for this informationand in due time, so will the boys."Jane M. Healy, PhD, author of Your Child's Growing Mind
"This book is a wonderful source of practical wisdom on how to bring out the best in boys for whom communication does not flow easily, help them to be happier people, and lead them to fulfill their potential. There is no better book offering humane, clinically informed, valuable advice in this essential area."Simon Baron-Cohen, PhD, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology and Director, Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University, UK; author of The Essential Difference: The Truth about the Male and Female Brain
"Adam Cox provides parents of boys with important tools to raise sons with the social communication skills critical for both personal and professional success today. Filled with excellent teaching strategies, this important book will empower parents to raise sons with social competence, in addition to the academic and athletic competence on which parents of boys have traditionally put so much emphasis."Kathryn Pengilly MA,CCC,SLP, speech-language pathologist and mother of three boys
"It was such a relief to learn there are reasons why my son behaves the way he doesand that the challenges he faces can be overcome. No one has all the answers, but Boys of Few Words answered a lot of my questions."Jayne Febbraro, mother of an 11-year old
"Dr. Cox not only explains why boys struggle with communication, but gives parents numerous practical ideas on how to help them live up to their full potential. Most importantly, this book recognizes that all boys are different, and gives not just one but many approaches to help us be better parents. Boys of Few Words will be a reference for us until our son reaches adulthood."Clark and Barbara Finnical, parents of an 8-year-old

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 18, 1997, New Braunfels, Texas 2A g Herald-Zeitung Q Thursday September 18,1997 __ Davis - From Page 1 prosecutorial misconduct. He said the district attorney intimidated the witness. The judge ruled there was no misconduct that would justify a mistrial. The 3rd dourt of Appeals, in finding Davis was denied a fair trial, said the judge was wrong to deny that motion for a mistrial. But it denied Davis' subsequent argument that double jeopardy protections denied his retrial. The Court of Criminal Appeals decided 7-2 on Wednesday to uphold the 3rd Court's decision. ''Fundamentally, this is a due process case. It has long been the law that where a defendant's due process rights have been violated to the extent that he has been denied a fair trial, the proper remedy is reversal of his conviction and (return) ... to the trial court for further proceedings," Judge Stephen Mansfield wrote in the majority opinion. Dissenting, Judge Charles Baird said he believed the state constitutional protection bars retrial. ''The trial judge, through an erroneous ruling, should not be allowed to forfeit an individual's valuable constitutional right," Baird wrote. Justice Morris Overstreet also dissented. Reimer said he was pleased upon hearing the news today. "I think it's a wonderful decision. I think it's very fair. I think it's based on judicial precedent., I think justice was done, and way overdue," he said. "This is another typical instance of where justice delayed is justice denied. The parents of the victim have been denied justice all this time because of the continual dilatory tactics of the defense, and I think it's long past due for this to be done." Lawyer Stanley Schneider of Houston, representing Davis, said he would ask the court to reconsider. If that's unsuccessful, he said Im would go to federal court. ''We're talking about egregious misconduct, extreme misconduct" on the part of the prosecution," Schneider said. ''We're talking about conduct that shocked the conscience of the trial court." ''It is a grave injustice," he said of Wednesday's decision. Besides the alleged intimidation of one witness by th^ former district attorney, Schneider cited alleged misconduct by the former chief, serologist for the Bexar County medical examiner's office. If there is another trial, Schneider said he couldn't mount a defense because key evidence has been lost or destroyed. Reimer expressed hope that Davis would be placed behind bars until the new trial. "At this time, the court should have revoked his bond and set a new, higher bond because of the fact that now he is in jeopardy for up to a life sentence," the former district attorney said. "It's up to the judge to determine whether they leave him on bond or not. But now he is in jeopardy of going up for life. Is the bond high enough to prevent him from absconding from justice? Certainly the bond that he has out on him is insufficient." Jeffrey Van Horn, the flflt assistant state's attorney, said he assumed the special prosecutor would go forward with a new trial. His office, which represents the state in select cases before die Court of Criminal Appeals, got involved in this one because of its importance to state jurisprudence, he said. ''It would be an absolute disaster to the judiciary of the state from our standpoint if we would have lost this case," Van Horn said. ''In effect, any case that got reversed on appeal for what might be reasons of prosecutorial misconduct would be barred from being retried. ''Once the bar of the state realized that's a possibility, they would be starting to try to transform almost any error into prosecutorial misconduct," he said. "Almost anything can in some way be tied to the prosecutor." Schneider disagreed, saying, ''This case does not open Pandora's box." * Davis has been out of custody for about two years on bond and lives out of state pursuant to a court order, Schneider said. He would not say where. ''He's working. He's back with his wife," Schneider said. "He's maintained his innocence from day ll one. Comal County Criminal district attorney Dib Waldrip said he agreed with the court's decision. "Well, we are glad the court came down with that ruling," Waldrip said. "We think it is the proper ruling. We will certainly prepare the case for prosecution." GBRA From Page 1 agreement, the project could begin by next year. "It is one step of many," West said. "Everything is predicated upon the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission." Before the project can get under way, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission must approve a permit, because the agreement involves an interbasin rtransfer from the Guadalupe River to thc'ScyrAmitMHo Rims hftftML GBRA general manager said he hoped the permit would be approved by the end of the year. Welsch said people who have fears that the project will affect downstream water rights in New Braunfels along the Guadalupe River to Victoria have nothing to worry about. "It is stored water (from Canyon Lake). It doesn't impact downstream water users," Welsch said. Board member Pamela Hodges of , K rjuUU LuUfltti Witt QBC iii UK Jhrce West said GBRA submitted a permlTapplication to TNRCC. The board members who voted against the preliminary agreement. "I am not opposed to the project," Hodges said. "It is a good project. I am concerned with some of the language itself." Hodges said she was not sure how selling water rights to San Antonio would affect GBRA's ability to handle growth in the Guadalupe River basin concerning water and how that would be affected once GBRA sells water rights to San Antonio. West said the agreement would ..have safeguards to make sure the waacrArights were brought back'to the Guadalupe River basin in times VPnmrgcnciei, such as droughts. Woman convicted of perjury for rape accusation may be deported FORT WORTH (AP) — A former topless dancer sentenced to jail tor falsely accusing two Dallas Cowboys players of rape will face deportation to her native Iran after she is released from jail, officials say. Nina Shahravan, whose accusations against Michael Irving and Erik Williams last December were recanted, pleaded guilty to a perjury charge Monday and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. Shahravan, 24, will be turned over to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service when she completes the jail term, officials said Wednesday. Neither Shahravan, who is serving her sentence in a Dallas jail, nor her attorney, David Smith, could be reached late Wednesday for comment, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported today. INS spokesman Lynn Ligon told the newspaper the federal agency will attempt to deport Shahravan because she has twice committed a ''crime involving moral turpitude." On Monday, Ms. Shahravan unexpectedly changed her plea to guilty and admitted that she lied when she told Dallas police that Williams and another man raped her in Williams* home while Irvin held a gun to her head. Her attorney said he expected Ms. Shahravan to be released after serving a third of the sentence. Obituaries AGNES W. HEYEN Agnes W.

Good morning...
My network Map is only showing one subnet. I have six subnets to view, and stopped, restrarted, then attempted to load the map several times to have them show up in the map. The last time, I performed this was yesterday before I left for the day at 5pm. The GUID showed "building map"... when I arrived this morning it was still there.
I stopped the system again, restarted and tried to display the map, and it still only reflects one subnet? How can I clear whats there, and start again if that's the right way to acheive a full view of my LAN.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Are you running the latest, 4.1, version of SpiceWorks?
How are your subnets separated?
Do you have full SNMP reporting working on your switches?
The network map itself cannot be cleared. You would do this by wiping out the entire SpiceWorks database and starting over which is unlikely to help here.

Dr Alexander Manford Headley
Learn about upgrading this memorial...
Apr., 1836, England
Feb., 1912
Rio Grande City
Starr County
Texas, USA
Alexander Manford Headley, Confederate surgeon, merchant and political figure, son of William and Isabel Hedley, was born at Rothbury, England, in April 1836 and baptized in the old Anglican Church there. He changed the spelling of his last name. After prep school in 1853 he served in the British navy, and then traveled to Louisiana. In 1856 he entered the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, where he graduated in 1859. He moved to Arkansas shortly afterward, bought property there, and joined the Arkansas State Forces. After Arkansas seceded, Headley was mustered into the Confederate Army at age twenty-five and served as assistant surgeon, then senior surgeon. His hair and beard turned white before the war ended; later in Texas and Mexico he was known as el doctor canoso, the "grey-haired doctor." After the South surrendered, Brig. Gen. Joseph O. Shelby organized a group of volunteers of "undefeated rebels" to go to Mexico, and Headley joined them. They rode through Texas, crossed into Mexico at Eagle Pass, and reached Mexico City in August 1865.
After a brief stay in Mexico City and Córdoba, Vera Cruz, Headley moved north to Camargo, opposite Rio Grande City, Texas. There he established his medical practice and a large mercantile business called Casa de Comercio in early 1866. He was later appointed military commandant of Camargo by Lerdo de Tejada, who succeeded Benito Juárezqv as president of Mexico. During his service, in November 1875, Texas Ranger captain Leander McNelly crossed into Mexico, killed a number of Mexican citizens, and then retreated to the south bank of the Rio Grande when threatened by Mexican militia. Headley sought a truce under a white flag to investigate.
He married Pilar Trevińo, age twenty-eight, his fourth and last wife, in Camargo in 1884, and they had a daughter. He regained United States citizenship in 1880 but continued to practice medicine on both sides of the river. During the epidemic of 1882–83 he treated many cases of yellow fever in Camargo. In Hidalgo County he joined the Republican Party and was county commissioner of Precinct 3 in 1890. Contending the Republicans had won an election, Headley led an armed attack on the courthouse at Edinburg (now Hidalgo), evicted the Democrats, who fled to Reynosa, Mexico, and tried to establish his own government. Governor John Ireland dispatched sixty rangers to arrest Headley, but they encountered Headley's forces on guard and surrendered the warrant. In a separate incident, also part of the current political turmoil, the wife of H. T. McCabe, friend and political ally of Headley, shot and killed Hidalgo county judge Max Stein in Reynosa. She was arrested and sent to Matamoros, where Headley rescued her from the police station and escaped to the United States. About a mile from his ranch, Headley was served black coffee laced with arsenic by one of his men. He immediately rode to the ranch, swallowed a bottle of castor oil, and survived. He sold his ranch, moved to Rio Grande City, and continued to practice medicine and lead the Republicans there until his death in February 1912.

I'm a slightly weird girl with a big imagination. I like to think of myself as shy, open, honest and a bit to curious haha. I'm pretty easy to get along with. I'm always up to try something new or something fun. I like smiling. It's contagious and life is too short not to.
I have an interest in most things like sports (soccer is my favorite), art, games, psychology, books, Japanese culture and anime/manga. I like exploring the city and going on adventures. I like to sing and dance, though I don't think I'm any good but it fun so I don't mind.
I like getting to know someone. It's always interesting to find out what other people like and don't like.
One of my favorite anime would have to be Kaichou wa Maid-sama!. I have watched a lot of mainstream anime like Cowboy bebop, One Piece, Naruto and Fairytail.
I normally listen to rnb and hip hop or what's on the radio. I'm open to all kinds of music.
Favorite type of food hmm.... Right now I would have to go with Japanese and Asian food. Like Curry Kustsu Don or something like Pho.
-family and friends
-sleeping in
-delicious food :)

I'm a bit weird. Okay maybe more that a bit. Who isn't weird these day :D

Police say habitual offender behind Carmel home break-ins
Carmel police have a career criminal in jail after a series of daytime break-ins.
Timothy Barnes, 39, is accused of three daytime break-ins in one neighborhood Monday morning. One of the homes had two children inside.
A brother and sister caught in their home with a burglar stayed calm and courageous. Their 911 call helped police arrest an experienced thief, who investigators call a bad guy.
The children fled after calling police. Arriving officers caught Barnes after he jumped from a second-floor window.
"We got a bad guy off the street. Officers were able to take him into custody without anyone getting hurt," said Carmel Police Lt. Joe Bickel.
Monday around noon, police say Barnes went through an affluent west Carmel neighborhood, knocking and ringing doorbells.
"If no one is home, he's taking advantage of the empty residence," Bickel explained.
Investigators found two other nearby homes broken into. According to court documents, Barnes was caught carrying stolen money, jewelry and prescription drugs.
He's charged with burglary, theft, drug possession, and being an habitual offender. Barnes has two previous criminal convictions.
"Things happen at night," Brenda Miyamoto said. "You'd expect, but during the day, it's scary."
For Brenda and other parents whose children are sometimes home alone, police say the victims talked with their kids ahead of time, about what to do during emergencies or a break in. Before leaving, Brenda locks doors, sets the security alarm, and makes sure her children have their cell phones handy.
Suggested Links
Until yesterday, Miyamoto admits they though mom was "probably overprotective and a little kooky. But their safety is first."
Children and parents who were scared of the dark have quickly learned the dangers of the day.
Barnes is facing the possibility of spending decades in prison. If found guilty of theft and burglary charges, a conviction for being an habitual offender would add as many as 30 more years to his prison sentence.

- Lefty Donovan (Dies in flashback)
Synopsis for "The Hatred of the Hobgoblin"Edit
The criminal known as the Hobgoblin has spent the past while perfecting a delivery system of the Goblin formula created by Norman Osborn. Creating a gaseous form he exposes himself to the formula, and although he spends too much time immersed within and the vat explodes, the Hobgoblin survives and gains the super-strength he was hoping to achieve. Dawning his costume once more the Hobgoblin then goes out to seek out Spider-Man.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker meets at the Tavern-On-The-Green with Harry Osborn, his wife Liz, Flash Thompson, Sha Shan, Betty Brant and Mary Jane. The Osborn's announces that Liz is pregnant with a child, and everyone congratulates them. Peter notices that Flash is acting strangely, and when he tries to get his old high school tormentor to talk he simply storms off. He is then confronted by Mary Jane and the two talk about how MJ turned down his marriage proposal. She has to depart for a photo shoot, however not without implying that perhaps someday she'll be ready. Peter decides to dismiss the idea since he is now presently in a relationship with the Black Cat. Changing into Spider-Man, Peter swings across the city and once more mulls over the idea that for the first time in his double identity he's dating someone who loves Spider-Man, not Peter Parker.
Spider-Man stops by Felicia's apartment, where he signals her while she's in the bathtub. She shoos her mother out of the apartment and changes into her Black Cat costume before letting Spidey in. After sharing a kiss she asks him about taking off his mask and revealing his true identity to her, however for whatever reasons Peter chokes, and this momentarily upsets the Black Cat. They change the pace of the evening by having dinner together. There she tells him that she is in love with Spider-Man, not the man behind the mask and finds his life of crime fighting exciting. Spidey cautions her that his life isn't quite so romantic and adventurous as she makes it out to be and often times very dangerous.
The two decide to go out swinging across the city together, and Spider-Man questions about the nature of her bad luck powers. The Black Cat admits that the bad luck powers were really a hoax that she staged everything before the battle. Realizing that Felicia is an ordinary person, Spider-Man gets upset and suggests that they return to her apartment. However, before they can go they are attacked by the Hobgoblin.
As Spider-Man attempts to stop the foe, the Black Cat tries her best to help him out, however she proves to be more of a liability than anything else. If Spider-Man is not shielding her from danger, she's throwing herself at it and causing herself to get injured. When the Hobgoblin grabs her by the throat a worried Spider-Man jumps in an lands a punch. The Hobgoblin then blinds Spider-Man momentarily with a bolt from his finger and charges at the disorientated hero. The Black Cat tries to jump in the way unaware that Spider-Man is decoying the Hobgoblin causing the two to jump into each other.
The Hobgoblin, killing himself with laughter mocks the two heroes for being their own worse enemies and decides that he will return some other day to battle the two heroes. As Spider-Man silently watches the Hobgoblin get away, the Black Cat gets down on herself for screwing things up so badly.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Husband and I have been married for almost 4 years and we lived together before that. He took care of paying bills and everything else. My name is not on anything. Checking account is frozen by bank, my pay checks have been going into account for 7 years and I can't get any money out. House, cars and bills are in his name.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. This is unfortunately a common experience between spouses, but something where a local Spokane attorney would be able to assist you. As his surviving spouse you are given priority under Washington law to serve as the administrator of his estate. A simple petition advising the court of his passing without a will, a description of the estimated value of his estate and a summary of his family should be enough to get you appointed as the Administrator.
I recommend working with a knowledgeable attorney who can assist you with the various statutory notice requirements and deadlines involved in probating an estate and working with creditors.

@tuskaderoLocale: Washington State
I am leaving tomorrow for a Wind River traverse. Plan was to start at Green River Lakes TH and head along the east shore of Lower Green River Lake. It looks like that section of the CDT is now closed.
Does anyone know if we can instead take the west shore and connect at the south of the lake between the upper lake and lower lake?
@hikinggrannyLocale: Gateway to Columbia River Gorge
I suggest you call the Pinedale Ranger Station who will have all the details, including the condition of that alternate trail across the lake. You might want to ask about smoke concentrations in the upper Green River valley, too. An alternate route would be to enter via the New Fork Trail, joining the Highline at either Trail Creek Park or Summit Lake.

Christine Benz
Question: I moved part of my portfolio out of the market in late 2008 when I was concerned that the economy and the stock market were in a downward spiral. But now that stocks have rallied, how can I get back in without getting burned?
Answer: It's small consolation, but you're far from alone in this conundrum.
I'd recommend that you start by establishing your target position in stocks. Then plan to slowly build your position during the next six to 12 months, adding a set amount each month until you hit your target.
As to your broader concern that it might be too late to invest in stocks, Morningstar's various valuation tools can help shed some light on that topic. They can also help you focus on parts of the stock market that still have upside potential left while avoiding overheated areas.
As of early this week, the universe of 1,683 companies that our stock analysts cover was, in aggregate fairly valued to slightly overvalued, with a fair value rating of 1.04 on this Market Fair Value graph. To arrive at a fair value estimate for the market as a whole, our equity analysts first assign a fair value estimate to each of the companies that they cover. So if one of our analysts thinks a company is worth $100 but it's currently trading at $75, that company would have a price/fair value ratio of 0.75. We then arrive at a price/fair value ratio for the whole stock universe by looking at the median price/fair value ratio for companies under coverage.
The current price/fair value ratio for our entire coverage universe is very close to its 52-week high, and is a far cry from where it was a year ago, when stocks under coverage, in aggregate, traded at a 24% discount to our analysts' fair value estimates.
High Quality, Reasonable Price
But the fact that our stock universe is trading right around its fair value shouldn't deter you from investing in stocks. On the left-hand side of the Market Fair Value page, you can drill into various segments of the coverage universe to identify market segments with upside potential remaining. For example, while our stock universe is, on the whole, fairly valued, the wide-moat companies in our coverage universe are currently trading at a small discount to fair value estimate. (A wide moat means that a company has a sustainable competitive advantage versus its peers, in our analysts' view.) Narrow-moat companies are fairly valued, on average, whereas no-moat companies are now substantially overvalued following a tremendous runup in 2009. Under normal circumstances, wide-moat firms should command higher prices than narrow- and no-moat firms, not lower. So it looks like a good time to pick up quality on the (relative) cheap.
So how does that translate into investment ideas? If you're an individual-stock investor and a Premium user, you can screen our stock universe for wide-moat companies that are trading well below our analysts' fair value estimates. As of March 29, 18 wide-moat companies sported price/fair value ratios of 0.75 or less, including Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY - News), General Electric (NYSE:GE - News), Paychex (NasdaqGS:PAYX - News), and Weight Watchers International (NYSE:WTW - News).
Mutual fund investors might also concentrate their energies on funds with a big share of wide-moat firms. Although moats aren't yet a screenable data point, Jensen Portfolio (NASDAQ:JENSX - News), Bridgeway Blue Chip 35 Index (NASDAQ:BRLIX - News), Dreyfus Appreciation (NASDAQ:DGAGX - News), Vanguard Dividend Growth (NASDAQ:VDIGX - News), and Vanguard Dividend Appreciation. (That last fund comes in the form of a mutual fund (NASDAQ:VDAIX - News) and an exchange-traded fund (NYSEArca:VIG - News).)
Advantage Large Cap Value
Morningstar's ETF Valuation Quickrank offers yet another tool for identifying potential investment ideas and avoiding land mines. Like the aforementioned tools, the Valuation Quickrank provides a price/fair value ratio for an entire exchange-traded fund based on the price/fair value ratings for all of that ETF's constituent holdings.
The Valuation Quickrank shows that broad-market ETFs, such as Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEArca:VTI - News), are currently trading at a slight discount to fair value, with a price/fair value ratio of 0.94 as of March 29. (In case you're wondering, that's a more attractive price/fair value ratio than our entire stock coverage universe because the ETF is cap-weighted and skews toward very large companies, which appear to be more cheap than smaller firms do right now.)
Generally speaking, the large-cap ETF categories offer a far larger share of ETFs trading below their fair values than do the mid-cap ETF groupings. (We don't currently have enough small-cap stocks under coverage to formulate price/fair value ratios for entire small-cap ETFs.) Ditto for value stocks versus growth. Every large-cap value ETF in the Quickrank is trading below our analysts' fair value estimates, whereas most large-cap growth ETFs are trading right around or above fair value.
You can also use the ETF Valuation Quickrank to help identify whether sectors are looking cheap or dear based on the ETFs' constituent holdings. (Just recognize that some ETFs skew heavily toward a handful of stocks, so the price/fair value ratio that you see may not be particularly representative of the valuation of an entire sector but rather just a few holdings.) Right now, for example, most real estate and technology ETFs are trading substantially above the fair values of their constituent holdings, indicating that many stocks in those sectors are fully priced or overvalued. The health-care sector, meanwhile, still sports a number of ETFs whose holdings are trading well below our analysts' fair value estimates.
Summing Up
If you find yourself, as this reader did, with a portfolio that's dramatically light on a given asset class, plan to dribble the money in slowly during a period of several months until your allocation reaches your target. As you do so, you can use Morningstar's various valuation lenses to help guide you toward those parts of the market that offer the greatest upside potential. Right now, high-quality large-cap stocks and funds appear to be reasonably priced relative to lower-quality (that is, no-moat) firms in the small- and mid-cap space. So although there may not be as many screaming buys as there were a year ago, it does appear to be a good time to upgrade the quality of your portfolio without breaking the bank.

Posted Tue 24 Feb 15 at 21:45 PM
Report: Rovers 1 Norwich City 2
A second half comeback from Norwich City saw Rovers taste defeat on Tuesday night.
Goals from Cameron Jerome and Bradley Johnson cancelled out first half Alex Baptiste's opener as the Canaries registered a fifth win in a row and inflicted a fourth home defeat on Rovers.
After an even start it was Rovers who grabbed the opener at the midway point. Tom Cairney floating a free-kick into the box that was met by the head of defender Baptiste.
Rovers had done well to hold Norwich at bay but under increasing pressure the visitors drew level on 65 minutes when second half sub Jerome fired home at the back post.
Both sides had half chances as the match entered the closing stages but it was settled by a superb strike from Johnson with six minutes to go. The midfielder finding the top corner with a sweet shot from outside the area.
Rovers pressed to the end with Cairney and Gestede both seeing efforts blocked to leave the home side empty handed.
It was a fast and furious start under the Ewood lights, but there was little fluidity on show. The ball spent plenty of time in the air during the first 20 minutes with neither side able to make headway.
In the battle of the twins it was the Olsson of Rovers who was seeing more of the ball, although it was Martin Olsson who had the first meaningful chance of the game on 19 minutes.
A diagonal ball over the back of the Rovers defence from Bradley Johnson saw the Norwich full back race to connect but the former Ewood favourite's touch let him down when it counted.
Aside from an early cross that Rudy Gestede couldn't quite reach, Rovers had been contained well as an attacking force, so it was somewhat of a surprise when they took the lead at the midway point of the half.
After Craig Conway got the better of fellow Scot Steven Whittaker to the left of the Norwich box, the Rovers midfielder was upended. Tom Cairney took the resulting free-kick and his centre was perfectly met by Alex Baptiste who headed home his third of the season.
The Canaries should have been level 90 seconds later as Olsson teed up Lewis Grabban, but with the goal at his mercy the striker mis-kicked.
The visitors ended the first half strongly with Rovers defending stoutly. Jonathan Howson and Grabban both firing over when well placed, whilst Baptiste and Grant Hanley both made important blocks at crucial times.
Rovers made a change at the break with Josh King coming on for Jordan Rhodes in an attempt to exploit the spaces amongst the Norwich defence.
And although the Norwegian soon showed Sebastien Bassong a clean pair of heels with a typical run from the forward, it brought about a premature end to King's evening as he pulled up shortly afterwards.
That meant a second change in the space of just six minutes as Ben Marshall was sent on as his replacement.
But a change for the visitors proved to be the catalyst for the turnaround as Norwich sent on Cameron Jerome for Nathan Redmond.
Just ten minutes after his introduction, the experienced striker made his mark, finding space at the back post to blast Wes Hoolahan's centre through the legs of Jason Steele and into the net.
Rovers went straight up the other end in a bid to regain the lead and it almost came courtesy of an own goal as Baptiste's centred. But as Johnson diverted the ball towards his own goal, keeper John Ruddy was alert to the danger to push the ball aside.
The Canaries came back with a series of chances. Howson fizzing a 25-yarder just wide, before seeing a first time shot well saved by Steele.
But with six minutes to go Norwich grabbed the goal that would give them all three points.
Rovers closed the space down on the edge of the box as Howson looked to shoot, instead it came out to Johnson who, in a striking similarity to the goal he scored at Carrow Road back in August, curled the ball into the top right corner of Steele's goal.
Steele then stopped the visitors from stretching their advantage with a superb save to thwart Jerome as the clock ticked into added time.
Rovers pressed to the end for a share of the spoils, Tom Cairney seeing a shot blocked by Bassong before Gestede saw a header stopped in the six-yard box.
Steele came up for a last-gasp corner, but the Canaries saw out the danger to ensure they would leave Ewood with all three points.
Steele, Baptiste, Hanley (c), Kilgallon, Olsson, Cairney, Spearing (sub Brown 80 mins), Evans, Conway, Rhodes (sub King 46 mins (sub Marshall 52 mins)), Gestede.
Subs not used: Eastwood (GK), Henley, Williamson, Duffy.

The former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe has made a plea to London's politicians to save Crystal Palace from possible demolition.
The venue hosts the Norwich Union London Grand Prix tomorrow, but Coe is concerned that beyond thisthe future is unclear, a situation that could dent London's chances of hosting the Olympics in 2012.
Crystal Palace is currently run by Sport England but their lease on the stadium runs out next year and responsibility should revert to Bromley Council. But neither body have committed to spending the vast amounts needed to maintain the stadium, prompting Coe's fears that it could be bulldozed.
"This is probably where the Mayor [Ken Livingstone] is absolutely central to finding a resolution," Coe said.
Livingstone said he will do all he can to keep the venue up and running. "Crystal Palace's future is not dependent on the Olympics alone," he said. "The stadium and sports centre are vital facilities and a major asset to the local community.
"With international sports governing bodies keen to bring their events to London, Crystal Palace is the only venue capable of hosting them."

Young companies, big ideas- The 2014 edition of the CNN 10
Janill Gilbert stashed this in Interesting
You wouldn't know it from the hype around Silicon Valley these days, but the startup world churns out more duds than hits.
Click through the CNN site to get better detail of the companies ;)
Many hastily built apps and social networks aren't interested in long-term success but an exit strategy -- selling to a larger company for a quick windfall. Others launch with nobler intentions but flame out because their market is oversaturated or they offer a service nobody really needs.
But for every hundred startups that fail, there's a fledgling company that's creating an original and useful product or tackling a difficult real-world problem.
For CNN's annual roundup of promising new startups, we take a look at 10 emerging companies whose products have the potential to transform industries, help the planet's less fortunate or become a handy part of our lives.
These companies are bringing digital innovation to analog businesses such as shipping and self-storage, or gaining footholds in such new industries as commercial drones or the mapping of the human microbiome.
They're changing health care, shaking up big data, launching satellites into space and bringing better Internet access to developing countries. They're even making our phones more useful.
They may not all succeed, but they're worth keeping an eye on. May we present the 2014 edition of the CNN 10: Startups.
1. Airware-
San Francisco-based startup Airware hopes that all these unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, will have something in common: They'll run on the Airware platform.
That's because Airware is a drone company that doesn't make drones. It designs hardware, software and cloud services for commercial UAVs.
2. Boxbee-
And as an engineer he saw that the self-storage business, essentially unchanged for decades, was ripe for a makeover.
So Matthews founded Boxbee, which aims to streamline the storage process by letting customers manage their extra stuff online without ever leaving home.
"We make it super-convenient," Matthews says. "We come to you and pick up your stuff."
The service works like this: Customers order plastic boxes which are delivered to their home. They fill the boxes, catalog their contents on Boxbee's website and schedule a pickup. Boxbee stores the boxes in a nearby warehouse and delivers them back to the customer upon request.
Boxbee says its standard yellow box, which measures 3.5 cubic feet in size, can hold 25 pairs of shoes, 90 T-shirts or 200 DVDs. Customers pay $7.50 a month per box. Pickup is free, although each time a customer retrieves boxes they are charged $15, plus $2 a box.
At first glance, it doesn't look like much: an unadorned brick about the size of four iPhone 5s stacked together.
But this little box is deceptively powerful. It seamlessly switches between Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular networks to provide Web access for up to 20 devices. It works for more than 8 hours without electricity. And it may transform wireless communications in remote corners of the world.
It's the BRCK (yes, pronounced "brick"), and it was dreamed up not in Silicon Valley, but by a handful of software engineers in Kenya.
4. FiscalNote-
Founded last year in the shadow of Capitol Hill, has developed an analytics platform that uses artificial intelligence to crunch state and federal government data. Their software then forecasts trends and outcomes that can help clients make strategic decisions around, say, whether an anti-fracking bill might pass the Colorado legislature.
"We're able to forecast with a high level of accuracy whether a bill will pass," says Tim Hwang, the company's CEO. How high? More than 90%, he says.
5. Humin
Ankur Jain, the 24-year-old founder,
"As we've moved into an era with cell phones driving our communication, all of our relationships are now stored and based on contacts," he says.
And yet, he says, the way we access those contacts is similar to the way a 1990s Internet search engine worked: pumping out results in alphabetical order. Some business people today have hundreds of contacts stored in their phone but no easy way to remember who all of them are.
"If you can actually build a search engine that remembers people the way you do, you make context relevant again," Jain says.
Once you download Humin and grant it access to your social network, the app creates a little database of your contacts, searchable by where people work, where they live, who they know – or how you know them.
Think of Humin as a way to combine your address book with maps, social networks and even your calendar. Traveling to a different city? Humin will tell you friends who live there, or who are visiting at the same time. Meet someone at a party? Humin allows you to put in details of the meeting and determine friends in common through social networks.
The app pulls up your contacts as image tiles – just like the avatars you see on Facebook or Twitter. It's a more intuitive way to find people you're looking for, says Jain.
6. Planet Labs-
What if you could take a high-resolution picture of the entire planet, every single day?
Would you monitor melting polar ice caps? Fight wildfires? Offer targeted aid in the aftermath of natural disasters?
Planet Labs, a San Francisco-based startup that has already launched more than 70 satellites into space, wants to find out.
7. Shyp-
Now comes Shyp, a Silicon Valley venture that wants to transform the cumbersome shipping process by taking over the packaging, picking up and dropping off of parcels.
"Shipping is a $300 billion-plus, 220-year-old industry begging for disruption," says Shyp co-founder Kevin Gibbon.
Like Uber, Shyp works via a smartphone app. Snap a picture of what you want to ship -- say, a pair of skis you sold on eBay. You don't have to worry about finding a ski-shaped box or the right packaging materials to keep them from getting damaged, because Shyp will do that for you.
There's also no need to haul them to the nearest post office. Shyp estimates how much it will cost to ship the skis via FedEx, DHL, UPS or the U.S. Postal Service, picks the best deal and then sends an employee to your location to fetch the goods within 20 minutes. These couriers (Shyp calls them "heroes") take your skis to a local warehouse, box them and send them on their way.
Customers pay the estimated shipping cost, plus a $5 pickup fee. Shyp makes money by getting volume discounts from the shipping services and pocketing the difference. Gibbon says shipping companies like it because instead of 15 separate pickups, they can load their trucks at fewer stops.
8. Smart Vision Labs-
According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 200 million people who are visually impaired living in low-income communities -- and roughly 80% of the cases are curable.
The device, called the SVOne, slides onto an iPhone and lets doctors measure refractive errors of the eye. (For those who've had vision tests, refractive errors are typically measured by those bulky machines that require patients to put their chin on a pad and read out numbers or letters).
The portable versions of these machines used to be cumbersome and expensive, which made it tough for doctors like David McPhillips to help people in developing countries. As a leader with the nonprofit Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity, McPhillips has led dozens of trips around the world to offer vision care.
One of the biggest hassles, and expenses, in these trips is in transporting equipment. According to McPhillips, most portable auto-refractors are the size of a toaster and cost up to $30,000.
Because they have to be checked with luggage, they are easily damaged and can cost as much as $1,800 to fix. That's nearly half the expense of the SVOne, which will sell for around $4,000.
This August, McPhillips tested the SVOne, which has a 56-hour battery life, on a mission to Haiti, which Albanese and colleague Greg Van Kirk attended.
"The most important thing I observed was its accuracy," McPhillips says. "It meets a need not only from an examination standpoint but from mobility and security [too]."
9. Spring-
For shopaholics who love Instagram, it might be the perfect app.
Spring, which launched in August, lets consumers follow their favorite fashion brands and shop for new looks on a free mobile app that's heavy on pretty images.
Spring boasts over 300 brands, from big-time designers such as Derek Lam to startups like Bow & Drape and online retailers like Warby Parker and Everlane.
Co-founders David and Alan Tisch – yes, the two are brothers – say they launched the service to spare consumers from retail app overload. Instead of having to download individual apps to browse and shop for new clothes and accessories, Spring's users can do it all in one place.
10. uBiome-
Jessica Richman's $100,000 crowdfunding effort actually received $350,000 to help launch her startup, uBiome.
For as little as $89, the San Francisco-based company sends customers a kit to collect a tiny stool sample. Two other options let them upgrade this "Gut Kit" all the way to a $399 version that also lets users gather samples from their mouth, nose, genitals and skin.
The samples, coupled with a detailed questionnaire, let uBiome's lab compare results with a stockpile of other information from a user database that is 15,000 strong and counting. Scientists with uBiome remove bacterial DNA from the samples and identify it all. They then send the user a breakdown of how their microbes compare with other people who have submitted samples.
Microbes actually outnumber cells in the human body and perform important tasks such as helping digest food and synthesize vitamins. Emerging studies have also linked the microbe system to things such as mental health, mood and human development.
So, for example, you might learn that the bacteria in your gut put you in the same group as people who are vegetarians, or of a certain age, or drink too much, or who reported mental health issues ranging from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia.
"It's kind of amazing the connections people have found," says Richman, uBiome's CEO. She's quick to note the test doesn't diagnose illnesses but gives users insight into problems worth checking out. Her company currently is developing a more detailed set of test results that will offer additional comparisons and suggest possible lifestyle changes that users may want to make based on their results.
UBiome went on to raise $4.5 million from a16z and others:
