Even if you are performing an upgrade of a system that already has the optional Plug-Ins installed, you must install them again to pick up the latest changes in the new release of the software.
New and Changed Information
This section lists the features that are new or have changed for Cisco CallManager, up to and including Release 2.4(4).
DtSilenceFlag Default Setting Changed to 0 (Disabled)
The DtSilenceFlag setting in the Cisco CallManager scm.ini file controls whether or not silence is sent while a caller waits for the phone to be answered at the other end. When it is set to False (disabled), the audio stream is sent on call proceeding instead of waiting for a connect from the other end. When it is set to True, silence is sent until a connect is received from the phone at the other end. For Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4), the default setting for DtSilenceFlag has been changed to 0 (disabled).
There is, however, one side effect that occurs when DtSilenceFlag is set to 0 (disabled). When DtSilenceFlag is disabled and you are calling an analog phone, you may hear loopback (echo) of your audio until the phone on the other end is answered.
To eliminate this echo, you can change the default setting of DtSilenceFlag to 1 (enabled).
Caution Setting DtSilenceFlag to 1 (enabled) can result in one-way audio on 911 calls, depending on the local carrier's configuration of the Central Office switch. The problem will only occur if the 911 switch fails to send a connect. If the 911 switch fails to send a connect, the calling phone continues to send silence, and the audio stream from the calling phone is never sent.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you schedule a test 911 call with your 911 service provider to verify that this problem does not occur. The test scenario should include the following steps:
1. Schedule a test call with your 911 service provider during off-peak hours.
2. Make sure that the test call will be routed over a Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway.
3. Enable the DtSilenceFlag parameter.
4. Make the 911call.
5. If the 911 operator can hear you, the test is passed, and you can leave the DtSilenceFlag setting enabled. If not, disable it immediately.
Perform the following steps only if you wish change the default setting of DtSilenceFlag to enable sending of silence:
Step 1 Open Notepad or WordPad (or any other text editing application).
Step 2 Browse to the scm.ini file on the CallManager server and open it. If you accepted the default location during installation of Cisco CallManager, this file will be located in C:\Program Files\Cisco\Bin.
Step 3 Locate the following line:
DtSilenceFlag=0 ; 0 = disable silence
Step 4 Change the setting from 0 to 1. The line should now read:
DtSilenceFlag=1 ; 0 = disable silence
Step 5 Save your changes and close the text editor.
DtSilenceFlag is set to 1, and silence is enabled.
Admission Control
Admission control helps maintain a desired level of voice quality over a network link by limiting the number of calls that can be active on that link at any one time. Using Cisco CallManager Administration, you can specify the total amount of bandwidth allocated for voice communications over each link in your network, thus limiting the number of calls allowed on each link. Admission control applies only to networks with a hub-and-spoke (or star) topology. Admission control does not guarantee a particular level of voice quality.
Audio Levels and Echo on Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+
When using a Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+, callers on the PSTN side of the connection might sometimes hear echo. You can reduce or eliminate this echo by adjusting the audio levels (pad settings) for the gateway.
Note If the echo problem is not on the PSTN side of the connection, do not change the default pad settings on the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+.
Possible causes of the echo are:
•The transmit level (outbound) audio from the gateway is too high (hot).
•The receive level (inbound) audio from the PSTN is too high (hot).
You should adjust the audio levels on the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ only if callers on the PSTN side of a connection are experiencing an echo problem. Cisco recommends that you use a telecom test set on the PRI to verify that the audio levels are indeed out of telco specification, and then add gain or loss accordingly. If you do not have the appropriate test equipment, or if you do not have expertise with such equipment, you can try different pad settings and make test calls until the echo is reduced to an acceptable level on the PSTN caller side.
Note Do not adjust the audio levels of the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ if your test equipment indicates that the trunk line from the central office is out of specification or if callers are experiencing echo only when connected to a particular central office or PBX. In both these cases, have your central office make the appropriate adjustments to the audio levels on the ISDN PRI.
Adjusting the audio levels on the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ requires the following software:
•Cisco CallManager release 2.3 or 2.4
•Cisco Digital Access load file D003G024.bin
•Cisco DickTracy utility
Default pad settings for the D003G024 load are:
To adjust the audio levels on the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ using the DickTracy utility, perform the following steps:
Step 1 If you are working with a Cisco CallManager release prior to 2.4(2b), copy the gateway load file D003G024.bin to the Cisco\TFTPPath folder.
Step 2 Using Cisco CallManager Administration, set the Load ID to D003G024 for the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ in question. Then click Reset for that gateway.
Step 3 Allow the gateway time to re-register with Cisco CallManager, then use the Microsoft Performance Monitor to verify that the gateway has registered.
Step 4 If the DickTracy utility is not already installed on the server where Cisco CallManager is running, copy the file DickTracy.exe from Cisco CallManager release 2.4(3) to any location on the hard disk of the server.
Step 5 Run the DickTracy utility.
Step 6 In the DickTracy window, select File>Connect.
Step 7 Enter the IP address of the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+, and always use TCP port 2005. Then click OK.
Step 8 Select Options>Send Cmd to open the DickTracy command window. It may take 15 to 30 seconds for the gateway to respond and for the command window to open.
Step 9 In the DickTracy command window, enter 3 for the Task ID. Then enter other commands as needed. The command line syntax is as follows:
show pads
Display current settings.
set txpad[32] NN
Set transmit pad value. (Brackets are required.)
set rxpad[32] NN
Set receive pad value. (Brackets are required.)
set nvram
Burn values to NVRAM. (Required to save the new settings.)
–[32] specifies all B-channels. You can also specify individual channel numbers, such as [01] for channel 1, [02] for channel 2, and so forth.
–NN is a positive number between 00 and 63 that specifies the audio level, with 32 equal to zero dB, as indicated in the following table:
NN Pad value
New pad settings take effect on the next call made on each B-channel. Calls in progress are not affected by setting changes.
B-Channels and G.723 Calls on Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+
To use all B-channels of the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+/DE-30+ for G.723 traffic, you must set the MaxNumberOf723Calls parameter in the scm.ini file. The MaxNumberOf723Calls parameter specifies the maximum number of G.723 calls that the gateway can send or receive. Set MaxNumberOf723Calls to 23 for the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24+, or set it to 29 for the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DE-30+.
Cisco Messaging Interface
There are three new Windows Registry entries that you can use to configure the Cisco Messaging Interface. If you want to use them, you must create the Registry entries prior to installing the Cisco Messaging Interface. Upon installation, the Cisco Messaging Interface reads these Registry entries and uses them to configure the way it processes incoming and outgoing messages. If it cannot find these Registry entries, the Cisco Messaging Interface operates in default mode.
The Registry entries for configuring the Cisco Messaging Interface are located in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Selsius Systems Inc./Selsius Unified Messaging Interface/
The available Registry entries for the Cisco Messaging Interface are:
•Trace - If this entry is present, the Cisco Messaging Interface creates a trace file and logs its actions. The trace file takes the name specified in the entry, and it normally is created in the Cisco/Bin directory. This trace file can be helpful when debugging Cisco Messaging Interface operations, and it should be enabled whenever Cisco Messaging Interface operations are in question.
•OutputDnFormat - The value found in this entry is used by an sprintf() function call in the Cisco Messaging Interface to format the outbound directory number. This Registry entry follows the syntax used in the C programming language to format character strings. The default setting of OutputDnFormat (used when this Registry entry is not present) is %010s. In the C programming language, this means that the directory number is formatted in a 10-character field padded with leading 0 characters. If you change the OutputDnFormat setting to 92%05s, for example, this causes the Cisco Messaging Interface to format the field as a five-character string padded with leading 0s. The two digits 92 are unconditionally prepended to the five-character field, making the outbound directory number a total of seven digits.
•InputDnSignificantDigits - This entry is a DWORD numeric value that determines how many digits are processed from the incoming directory number in the MWI message. The default value used when this Registry entry is not present is 10. If the incoming directory number contains more than the specified number of digits, the upper digits (most significant digits) are stripped from the directory number.
Note If you change any of these Windows Registry entries after installing the Cisco Messaging Interface, you must use Cisco Process Control to restart the Cisco Messaging Interface.
Debug Trace Flags
Cisco CallManager provides debug trace functionality for advanced error handling. The debug trace flags are most commonly used by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to resolve problems with Cisco CallManager. You can access the trace flags through Cisco CallManager Administration by selecting Control Center and then clicking the Show button for Cisco CallManager Debug Trace Flags.
DTMF Signaling
Cisco CallManager now treats all DTMF signals as out-of-band, and it is now possible to pass digits in both directions on H.323 type devices.
Enhanced 911 Service
Enhanced 911 (E911) service is available for your Cisco IP Telephony system. Cisco CallManager provides the appropriate calling line ID information and signaling required for E911. Connection to E911 service providers is available through third-party sources. For more information on connecting your Cisco IP Telephony system to E911 services, visit the Cisco web site at http://www.cisco.com.
License Management
License Management has been disabled in Cisco CallManager for release 2.4(3) and 2.4(4). Please ignore any prompts from Cisco CallManager Administration that ask you to enter License Management information.
Line Selection
When you answer a multi-line phone (take the phone off-hook), the default behavior is for the phone to select the ringing line automatically. You can modify this behavior so that the phone always selects the prime line (line 1) when you go off-hook. To enable prime line selection for all phones, set the AlwayUsePrimeLineFlag to 1 in the SCM.INI file. If prime line selection is enabled, users must always press a line button to select a line other than the prime line, even if there is an incoming call on that other line.
Media Termination Point
You now have the option to control Media Termination Point (MTP) parameters by changing the settings in the Windows Registry. For details, see "Configuring the Media Termination Point" in the online System Guide.
Remote Serviceability
Remote serviceability enables Cisco CallManager to be serviced from a remote location while maintaining the security of your site. This release of Cisco CallManager implements two features for remote serviceability:
•Cisco Bridged Telnet — provides Cisco Service Engineers (CSEs) transparent firewall access to a Cisco CallManager server on a customer site for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes.
•show command — displays the contents of the Cisco CallManager configuration database, the configuration file, memory statistics, and Windows diagnostic information.
Reset Option for Configuring Cisco IP Phones
The Device Wizard in Cisco CallManager Administration contains a new option for resetting a Cisco IP Phone while you are configuring the phone in the database. After you enter the configuration data for the phone and click Finish, two new buttons appear:
•OK, reset now—Clicking this button saves the changes in the database, resets the phone (call processing on that phone is interrupted), and registers the changes with Cisco CallManager so that they take effect immediately.
•OK, reset later—Clicking this button saves the changes in the database, but it does not reset the phone or register the changes with Cisco CallManager.
If the phone is not yet physically installed on the network, you can click OK, reset now without interrupting call processing. If the phone is already installed on the network, then you might want to click OK, reset later to avoid interrupting call processing for that phone. Later, when the phone is not busy, you can reset it by clicking the Reset button for that phone in Cisco CallManager Administration, by pressing **#** on the phone, or by reconnecting the phone to the network.
Note Changes or additions to call forwarding information for a phone do not take effect in Cisco CallManager until you reset the phone. In some cases, Cisco CallManager might loop an incoming call back to its source if the destination phone has not been configured and reset properly and if the incoming call matches a routing pattern that routes calls back out. To avoid this problem, choose route patterns carefully so that they are unique, and reset each phone as soon as possible after configuring it in the Cisco CallManager database so that the call forwarding information can take effect.
Tone on Hold, Transfer, and Call Park
The party placed on hold, transfer, or call park hears an intermittent tone once every 10 seconds. Currently there is no tone on hold, transfer, or call park for calls going through a Media Termination Point. Also, if the party on hold, transfer, or call park activates a feature such as hold, the tone is not retained for either party on the call.
Voice Messaging
Cisco uOne is a voice messaging system that combines with Cisco CallManager to provide voice messaging services over an IP network. Cisco uOne is sold separately from Cisco CallManager. Cisco uOne is currently available only for the Cisco Media Convergence Server 7830 and only in the North American market.
Wherever possible, Cisco uOne supports industry standard internet messaging protocols such as LDAP, IMAP, MIME, SMTP and HTTP. For this release, Cisco uOne provides the following features:
•Call Answer Service — callers can leave messages for users.
•User Messaging Services — users can log in, retrieve their messages, and administer their voice mailboxes.
•Calling Services — callers can transfer to an attendant or another number. Users can return calls or make calls while listening to messages. After completing a call, the user returns to the same message in Cisco uOne.
You can install only one voice messaging system (either Cisco uOne or third-party voice mail) per installation of Cisco CallManager.
Note If you are using Cisco uOne, please ignore the voice mail information in the Cisco CallManager online System Guide and refer instead to the latest Cisco uOne documentation.

This section contains unresolved caveats for this release of Cisco CallManager. Caveats describe unexpected behavior or defects in Cisco CallManager software and related hardware.
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4)
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4).
Description: Sound problem for holding line. This problem can be seen after connecting a call. After connecting a call, if it does a holding action on both sides, then the holding sound can't be heard if only one side releases the holding action.
Workaround. None.
Description: Voice greeting fades when recording from Cisco IP Phone to Cisco uOne. When recording a voice greeting to Cisco uOne, the first couple of seconds are normal volume, then the voice will fade to lower volume. If the user speaks softly, the greeting will degrade into nothing. This condition is caused by the Echo Cancellation in any phone load that ends with 'J4'.
Workaround: If you are using Cisco uOne with your Cisco CallManager, use a phone load other then one ending in 'J4'.
Description: The status of the phone is not being updated in Cisco WebAttendant.
Workaround: To work around the problem:
–Call the phone to update the phone status.
–Going off hook on the phone should also update the status.
Description: If a random sequence of button pushes causes the Transfer button to quit working, the Cisco IP Phone cannot complete the transfer, and the buttons on the phone no longer work.
Workaround: Unplug the phone for 2 minutes or more, then plug the phone back in.
Description: Even at low call rates through the DT-24+, the collision light will show activity and will increase proportionate to the call volume.
Workaround: There is no workaround needed; there will be some activity on the collision light without impacting service, even at very high volumes.
Description: BootP fails on Cisco MCS7830 and MCS7820 platforms. BootP gets error 10048, "Unable to create socket" when you save and load the configuration. This problem only occurs at sites where DHCP is not running and the customer is using the BootP utility for some gateway devices (Cisco AS, AT, and DT24+ gateways).
Workaround: Install the BootP utility on another PC (other than the PC that is running Cisco CallManager).
Description: A call coming from the PSTN to a Cisco IP Phone does not complete because the H.225 setup message is too large to be understood by the Cisco CallManager.
This problem can occur under the following conditions:
–The setup includes a Cisco AS5300 with QSIG from the PSTN and Cisco CallManager, or
–A Cisco CallManager has a Cisco IP Phone registered and a Microsoft NetMeeting device connected in through a Cisco 800 router via an ISDN connection.
Workaround: To work around the problem if you have a Cisco AS5300 with QSIG from the PSTN, send smaller H.225 setup messages by turning off QSIG and other extra information.
To work around the problem under the second condition listed above, perform the following steps in the Microsoft NetMeeting device:
1. Select Tools > Options from the Microsoft NetMeeting menu bar.
2. Deselect (uncheck) everything under Directory Settings. This will reduce the amount of information sent in the H.225 setup message.
If those boxes are checked, then the H.225 message setup will be too long (because it contains too much information) and consequently will not be understood by the Cisco CallManager.
Note The same problem will occur if the Microsoft NetMeeting device is in the local LAN. It can be resolved by using the workaround above.
Description: No call progress when calling a busy user over a Cisco Access Digital Trunk Gateway DE-30+.
When placing a call out a DE-30+ and the called user is busy, the Cisco IP Phone displays the date and time instead of the user busy tone.
Workaround: None.
Description: When you enable the service parameter "Block Offnet to Offnet Transfer" and make a blind transfer with Cisco Unity Connection, the Q.931 SETUP message which CUCM sends to the PSTN gateway for an outbound PRI call still reaches the gateway. This transfer results in a dropped call.
Workaround: None.
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(3)
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(3). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager 2.4 releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(3).
Description: The exclamation point character (!) in a route pattern does not work as expected if it is followed by the pound sign character (#). The exclamation point character normally represents one or more digits 0 through 9, but it allows only a single digit when followed by the pound sign character. For example, the route pattern 011!# allows a caller to dial 0112 or 0112#, but it does not allow 01123.
Workaround: Create two route patterns, one with the pound sign character and one without. Define the route pattern with the pound sign character first. For the example above, the two route patterns would be 011!# and 011!.
Description: When it is first installed and configured, Media Termination Point (MTP) shows no resources available.
Workaround: Using Cisco CallManager Process Control, stop and restart the MTP process only.
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(2b)
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(2b). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager 2.4 releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4).
Description: Cisco IP Phones generate an echo (feedback) when used at maximum volume.
Workaround: To reduce or eliminate the echo, set the volume to no more than 75% of maximum volume.
Description: If the greeting message for Cisco uOne voice mail is recorded using the speakerphone, the volume drops substantially. This problem has not been observed on any supported voice mail systems other than Cisco uOne.
Workaround: Always use the handset to record the greeting message for Cisco uOne voice mail.
Description: After upgrading to the latest release of Cisco CallManager and installing the Plug-Ins, the icons for the Plug-Ins do not appear in the System Tray and the configuration screens for the Plug-Ins are not accessible.
Workaround: Using Cisco Process Control, stop all processes and then restart them.
Description: If a user has a call on transfer hold and receives an incoming call, any attempt to transfer the incoming call results in that call being connected to the call on transfer hold.
Workaround: The call transfer feature in Cisco CallManager is commonly referred to as a consultation transfer, and it first places the transferred call on hold. If you have one call on transfer hold when a second call comes in, any attempt to transfer the second call results in a conference connection between the two calls on transfer hold. To avoid this situation, you can disable the call waiting feature if it is not needed for the phone in question.
Description: The description in the online documentation for configuring a Media Termination Point (MTP) is incomplete.
Workaround: First install the MTP plug-in as described in the online documentation under "Installing a Media Termination Point." Next, configure the MTP plug-in as described in the online documentation under "Configuring the Media Termination Point." Then use the Device Wizard to add an MTP device to the Cisco CallManager database, as described in the online documentation under "Adding a Media Termination Point."
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(1)
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(1). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager 2.4 releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4).
Description: A hairpinned call from a Cisco AS5300 with different codecs (G.711 and G.723) to Cisco CallManager fails with a "Resources unavailable" error. Incoming voice dial peers (IP) are not compared strictly with dial peers in the configuration. In the configuration, there are two dial peers with different codecs (G711ulaw and G723r63) for connection with Cisco CallManager. The first dial peer was attached to a G711ulaw codec and the second was attached to a G723r63. When testing calls from Cisco IP phones in this configuration, calls could be made with the G711ulaw but not with the G723r63. (Error code was 2F - No resource.)
Workaround: Change codecs so that the first dial peer has G723R63 and the second one has G711ulaw. Both codecs should work under this new configuration.
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.3(1b) and 2.3(2)
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.3(1b) and 2.3(2). Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4).
Description: The Call Direction parameter field for the T1 port of the Cisco Access Digital Gateway DT-24 does not appear to work. Call Direction specifies the direction of calls passing through this port. Allowed settings are:
–Inbound for inbound calls only
–Outbound for outbound calls only
–Both Ways for inbound and outbound calls
Workaround: Use a 24-port Cisco Access Digital Gateway PRI or an 8-port Cisco Access Analog Trunk Gateway.
Description: When a call is placed to a voice gateway, the caller first hears internal dial tone. The caller then dials the access code for an off-net call. External dial tone is heard, and the call is made and then cleared normally.
When the caller uses the redial feature, he first hears internal dial tone. When the caller presses the redial key, he hears external dial tone for five seconds or so before the connection is made. This dial tone is played out for too long and should be replaced with silence.
Workaround: There is no current workaround. The issue appears to be due to the long time required to connect through the H.323 Gateway. The issue is still under investigation.
Open Caveats for Cisco CallManager Release 2.2
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco CallManager Release 2.2. Unless otherwise noted, these caveats apply to all Cisco CallManager releases up to and including Cisco CallManager Release 2.4(4).
Description: Existing route filter values cannot be seen in the form view of the Route Filter Configure dialog box.
Workaround: Entering multiple route filters causes the behavior described above. Cisco CallManager accepts only single route filter entries. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Description: After a client places a Directory Services Call via the web browser, use of the browser Back button can cause the call to be placed again.
Workaround: After placing a Directory Services Call, refresh the Active Server Page (ASP) so that the browser Back button will not redial the previously placed call.

Back-to-school season is underway in Canada and for Target, which opened its first stores in Canada earlier this year, the stakes could not be higher.
Beyond simply a major seasonal selling opportunity, back-to-school season is really Target's first meaningful opportunity to firmly establish its brand identity with a new generation of shoppers. In much the same way that a kid going to a new school for the first time is quickly sized up and then categorized by other students, now that Target operates 67 stores in Canada younger shoppers can more readily judge for themselves if the retailer lives up to the "expect more, pay less," brand promise and is deserving of their dollars.
To accomplish that objective, Target is employing a strategy similar to that which has worked effectively in the U.S., namely a broad assortment of value-priced, on-trend merchandise. According to the company, students will find solutions and on-trend items to make the most of any back-to-school budget and a wide assortment of home furnishings, school supplies and fashion.
"This is Target's first back-to-school season here in Canada, and we are excited to show our Canadian guests our vast product assortment and incredible value," said Target Canada SVP of merchandising John Morioka. "From new back-to-school clothes to bedding and dorm room accessories, students can display their personal style, even if on a budget, and still have the quality our guests have come to know and love."
An on-trend product assortment is one thing, but Target also is looking to leverage social media to drive brand engagement and differentiation. For example, from August 13 to 19, Target will invite parents to upload pictures of their kids showing off their unique style on Facebook using hashtag #KidsGotStyle. During that week, Target will create an inspiration gallery, including items and supplies inspired by the photos received. Select customers who participate will be chosen at random to win one of 100 $50 Target gift cards and a grand prize of one $1,000 Target gift cards.
For students heading back to college, Target is employing a different type of digital strategy which involves list making. Whether post-secondary students are moving into a dorm or their first apartment, Target contends they will find all of the necessities at the retailer's Canadian stores. To help students get started, Target is offering a checklist at www.target.ca/backtocampus, which allows students to organize and personalize their back-to-campus shopping list, taking the guess work out of shopping and making sure they are covered with all of the necessities they need when heading out on their own. The company is also offering after-hours busing events which bring new students at select universities to stores for private shopping events. During orientation week, first year students will be transported from their campus to their local Target store for an evening of entertainment, exclusive offers and last-minute shopping.

The wife and I are looking at buying a home several miles outside the city. It's a fixer-upper, but we'd be getting a great deal on it. The one thing we'd love to change, though, is kinda petty: we both hate cooking on an electric stove. There's no way to get a gas line out where we are, so what are our options? Can you get NG by the tank, or is that only propane? Can you cook with propane on a regular gas stove? Is it worth using gas for other stuff, like water heaters?
Anybody done this before?

51 Years Ago: The Beatles Release 'Meet the Beatles!'
It may have taken Capitol Records a year to decide to distribute the Beatles in America, but when it did, the label quickly flooded the market with music. The first entry, 'Meet the Beatles!,' reached shelves on Jan. 20, 1964.
Even though it bore the subtitle 'The first album by England's Phenomenal Pop Combo,' 'Meet the Beatles!' wasn't the first Beatles album to be released in the U.S. That honor goes to 'Introducing . . . the Beatles,' which came out on the Vee-Jay label 10 days before Capitol's record. Starting in early 1963, the Beatles' U.K. record company, Parlophone/EMI, had been trying to sell Capitol in the U.S. on the group, but with no luck. Instead, the company made a deal with Vee-Jay, a Chicago-based label that specialized in R&B, to put out a slightly modified version of 'Please Please Me' that summer.
Vee-Jay was forced to shelve the record on the eve of its release due to financial problems. But toward the end of 1963, Capitol finally relented and made a big marketing push behind 'I Want to Hold Your Hand.' Vee-Jay noticed the song's success and rushed 'Introducing' into stores, beating Capitol to the punch by a week and a half.
Capitol fashioned 'Meet the Beatles!' by taking nine songs from the band's most recent album in the U.K., 'With the Beatles,' and adding the hit single 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' and both its U.S. ('I Saw Her Standing There') and U.K. ('This Boy') B-sides. Even Robert Freeman's famous photograph of the four members was toyed with, given a blue tint to add some color to the strikingly arty black-and-white shadowed shot found on the original cover.
This created a precedent for Capitol of creating Beatles albums out of the band's leftover tracks and most recent singles. The group was never happy with Capitol's actions, so, beginning with 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' their releases became the same on both sides of the Atlantic.
'Meet the Beatles!' was mostly lost to history when the band decided to put out only the U.K. albums on CD in 1987, but the record still has plenty of fans. In 2007, veteran power-pop band the Smithereens released a virtual note-for-note cover of the album called 'Meet the Smithereens!'

Mail: Southern statutes symbolize suppession
Mail: Thanks for helping Aiden
More opinion
Robertson and Delsing re-elected chair, vice chair of NWB
Goat Expo set first October weekend
More Ag News
Bart McLeay was in North Platte for the second time Tuesday, campaigning for the U.S. Senate.
He is a leading business attorney with the Kutak-Rock firm of Omaha, coordinating 140 attorneys in 12 states, a position he has held for seven years.
He also holds an undergraduate degree in accounting.
McLeay believes his ability to forge agreements among opponents, along with knowledge of law and business, makes him the best qualified.
The race will come down to the candidate with the best ideas and experience, he said. Ive been a business attorney for 28 years -- nearly thee decades of resolving disputes. Ive handled some very significant business matters. I understand the economic process of business growth and expansion.
McLeay puts an average of 120 miles a day on his car making campaign stops, since he announced he would run in July. He was in North Platte on July 31. His campaign treasurer is North Platte accountant Bob McChesney. He is "re-introducing himself" to central and western Nebraska. His grandfather was a physician in Stapleton for 12 years in the early 1900s.
McLeay said Obamacare is a failed policy, not merely a failed website.
Im listening to people about increases in their rates, he said. They are experiencing fright. I talked to a woman in Wayne who said she is past her child bearing years and does not need pediatric dental or vision coverage. She is most concerned with emergency care, but her premiums are doubling and her co-pay has tripled.
There are valid Republican alternatives to Obamacare market based reforms. He said regional marketplace exchanges would be good, where buyers could shop for insurance and hospital care. He said proposals by Reps. Paul Broun and Steve Scalise of Louisiana and a Republican study group on healthcare are worth evaluating.
A huge component should involve individuals and consumer choice, he said. There are indications that there is not enough market data to make personal decisions. If we had widespread use, we would see prices go down and insurance prices become more competitive.
McLeay said he would work through gridlock in Congress by building on a basic agreement.
Freedom has worked, he said. That is our common denominator, the feeling of all Americans. We have to start with that shared feeling. Major changes -- comprehensive health care reform, comprehensive immigration reform -- are doomed to fail in our state of gridlock. We should start with little wins, instead of things that are certain not to be accepted by the other party.
He said he would be honored to represent Nebraska with its low unemployment, balanced budget and high community morale.
Nebraska is a model state to be followed and admired, he said.
Among McLeays court victories, he helped keep the Niobrara scenic river designation from encroaching too far into private property. And, as an assistant Nebraska attorney general in the 1990s, he worked on disputes with Kansas over the amount of water in the Republican River.
He said he can work across the aisle. He was once a registered Democrat.
McKleay is a graduate of Omaha Creighton Prep high school. He earned a law degree at the University of Virginia.

Yet, I remain unsurprised.
Printable View
Yet, I remain unsurprised.
Pathetic. I really hope the Patriots have a good explanation for this. It did seem like the Pats were picking up the blitz unusually well all game...but I was hoping that was more due to the fact that the Patriots offensive line had improved in the offseason.
With that said, it is no surprise that this happened against the Jets. The Patriots as an organization despise the Jets and it goes vice versa.
Here's a story for you from Peter King's Monday Morning QB article.
3. I think the most overplayed story of Week 1 was the subterfuge angle of former players spilling the beans to the enemy. Just like Jason David's information on the Indy offense meant nothing to New Orleans' defense in the Colts' 41-10 beatdown of the Saints, the importation of former Patriot Reche Caldwell for a look-see and the Patriots bringing in ex-Jets Tim Dwight and Bobby Hamilton (on the QT Friday) meant nothing to the outcome of the Patriots' win over the Jets. Maybe the Jets learned a scintilla about the physical condition of Randy Moss -- maybe -- but as far as strategy or signals or audible signs ... fiction.
"It's the most overrated thing in sports,'' said Peyton Manning, who went on to give me a great example of how a foreign agent can actually hurt a team's preparation. "The classic was when we're playing Cleveland and they got [former Colts backup quarterback and offensive assistant] Kelly Holcomb and Bruce Arians. It's Tony Dungy's first year, maybe 2002. So the Browns grill Holcomb all week, 'You got to give us something' and he says, 'I'm telling you, Peyton's going to change it up. He knows I'm here, he's going to give you a dummy audible early. I'm telling you, he's not stupid. So, just play your keys.'
"They're up 16-3, I think, at the half," said Manning. "Second half, we get a good drive going and it's fourth-and-three. So we run our bread and butter play, a little five-yard under route. Well, I signal the play and Holcomb -- it's the same signal -- so he says, 'Ah, now I'm going to help them.' So he says, 'They're running the five-yard under play! Five-yard under play!"
"And so you can see it on the film -- they're going, 'Watch the slants, watch the slants.' So they load up, all inside technique, and they go into a man defense. Well, I see this and I see the defenders all change up -- that's the thing about the no-huddle, I can see this -- and I kept the receivers doing the same thing and I checked to a zone running play and it's only six guys who gotta know -- the linemen and the back [James Mungro]. And he goes 29 yards untouched for a touchdown. And so their guys go to Holcomb, all pissed off, 'So, they're running a slant, huh? Thanks a freaking lot, Holcomb.'
Also investigating some radio frequency issues, hmmmm. . . The amazing intuition of their defense in all those playoff games comes into real question now, when they always just happened to get a jump on all our plays and were always praised for the amazing abililty to have players in the right position. After reading about how Bellichick treated Ted Johnson when he had all those brain concussions, nothing would suprise me regarding his breaking the rules of decency or the NFL in order to win.
Someone is seriously comparing this to some alleged crowd noise fabrication which everyone knows was a figment of one of Ben Rottenliesburger's acid flashbacks?
Didn't they have a similar situation against the Dolphins last year as well?
I'll wait to see what develops before jumping to conclusions.
Could put an * around all this dynasty talk if found guilty
Wow, this is pretty serious actually.
Big difference between asking an ex-player and using technology to steal or spy.Quote:
"It's not their first time," a member of the committee, who did not wish to be identified, said.
In fact, Green Bay Packers president Bob Harlan confirmed a similar incident that occurred when the Patriots played at Lambeau Field last Nov. 19. The same cameraman who was questioned by NFL security on Sunday was also the one whom the Packers removed from the sideline and escorted from the field during their 2006 game, according to Packers security official Doug Collins. "From what I can remember, he had quite a fit when we took him out," Harlan said. "We had gotten word before the game that they [the Patriots] did this sort of thing, so we were looking for it."
The fake crowd noise was alleged by a hack reporter, I believe. And, maybe Big Ben.
Are you really comparing possible spying to a fake story about crowd noise?
Seriously? If you are, then you lose all credibility.
:bs: on your part.
There could be an element of payback going on, or maybe some Pats guy was trying to seroiusly annoy the Jets coaches.
It's unlikely that recording possible signals helped them much in Sundays game. Did they record them, use some universal remote to freeze time (the movie "Clicker"), analyze the tape, figure out the signal, then restart the space-time continuum and let the Pats coachs know what was coming?
Then they used this information to make the Jets miss tackles, make penalties, and on offense drop balls.
If they were cheating, it was to find something to use in the later rematch game.
Make no mistake, if they did this then it is very wrong and they should be punished severely.
Also, since Belichick is God, he is already all-knowing, so he knew what was coming anyway. ;)
Absolutely no one around here is shocked and they generally assume the Pats cheat as much as possible every game. It's only wrong if you get caught!
Belichick has always been a dick. Dick.
here is a link to a blog with a picture of the guy doing it... the picture is hella big, otherwise i'd post it here.
if you click on it you can see a guy with a camera circled
You mean the guy was on Jets sidelines? I thought he was taking from the Pats sidelines
And Goodell has determined that the Patsies need some punishments
Wow, that is pretty funny. You would think he would be using a home camcorder or something..but no. He's sitting there with a 50 pound camera over his shoulder about 20 feet away from the Jets coaches.
Someone left a funny comment though on that site though. "I guess that is why they only had 3 guys covering Moss on that 60 yard bomb TD."
I am still embarassed as a fan though. I'm sure the Pats will lose a few picks over this incident.
Coming from the Patriot this doesn't surprise me at all. The Jets were not as good as the Pats on Sunday, but they certainly weren't that bad either.
After looking at the confiscated videotape the league has concluded the Patriot's did indeed knowingly violate league rules:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has determined that the New England Patriots violated league rules Sunday when they videotaped defensive signals by the New York Jets' coaches, according to league sources. NFL security officials confiscated a camera and videotape from Patriots video assistant Matt Estrella on the New England sidelines when it was suspected he was recording the Jets' defensive signals. Sources say the visual evidence confirmed the suspicion. Goodell is considering severe sanctions, including the possibility of docking the Patriots "multiple draft picks" because it is the competitive violation in the wake of a stern warning to all teams since he became commissioner, the sources said.
The Patriots have been suspected in previous incidents. The Patriots will be allowed an opportunity to present their case by Friday, sources said, most likely via the telephone. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Tuesday that no official decision has been made and that the club has not been notified. The league also was reviewing a possible violation into the number of radio frequencies the Patriots were using during Sunday's game, sources said. The team did not have a satisfactory explanation when asked about possible irregularities in its communication setup during the game. Goodell is expected to have a decision no later than Friday but that is not set in stone.
Chris Mortensen covers the NFL for ESPN.
What a toolish thing to do. (Stealing signals)
This same thing happening against the Packers tells me its not some isolated incident. The Pats would have no incentive to do this with the Pack so if they were doing it to them, I'm sure they were doing it to just about everybody.
Can't say I'm surprised. Pats might be a successful franchise, but I don't think anyone will ever mistake them for a classy franchise.
One of their defensive players let it slip in a postgame interview to a local paper that they had reviewed film and audio to figure out the Patriots play-calling.
The film he was talking about was not coach's tapes, official game film, or TV audio. It was audio and maybe video recorded by Dolphins personnel or bought from a 3rd party spy of Patriot's coaches and their signals.
It was the second game between them of the year.
This could be a case of "they are doing it to us, so we will do it to them"
That doesn't make it right, but makes it at least somewhat understandable.
The NFL investigated it, the Dolphins denied it, they had no "smoking gun" i.e. an actual illegally obtained tape, so there was no penalty.
This incident did provoke a league-wide warning, which the Pats apparently ignored, and that is probably what ticks off the commish the most.
And now folks you know why during training camp the Colts were so damn paranoid about people with video equipment. They even dictate to the television stations shooting video for the news casts which way they could point their cameras.
They eased up finally this year and I suspect because #1 there are just too many folks out there with digital to police or #2 they change everything up once they get back on their home turf so it doesn't matter.
Word is Polian had every non-NFL affiliated camera removed from the field prior to the AFC championship game for this exact reason.
If Goodell really wants to send a message he should do what they do in the NCAA - in addition to sanctions the Pats have to forfeit the Jets' game.
THAT would get people's attention.

Belichick statement
By Mike Reiss, Globe Staff
Bill Belichick released the following statement today:
"Earlier this week, I spoke with Commissioner Goodell about a videotaping procedure during last Sunday's game and my interpretation of the rules. At this point, we have not been notified of the league's ruling. Although it remains a league matter, I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected, most of all ownership, staff and players. Following the league's decision, I will have further comment."

Hamilton suffering from impatience at the plate
OAKLAND -- Asked about Josh Hamilton's struggles at the plate, Angels hitting coach Jim Eppard sees what so many others see: "He's swinging at pitches that he can't hit."
There's no real science to it. Hamilton has simply been very impatient in his first month with the Angels, even by his standards.
Heading into Tuesday's game against the A's, which saw him get dropped to fifth against a right-handed starter for the first time this season, Hamilton had swung at 45.2 percent of pitches out of the strike zone, which ranks third in the Majors behind only Pablo Sandoval (Giants, 48.5 percent) and Yuniesky Betancourt (Brewers, 45.7 percent). He continues to chase the breaking ball on the outside corner, and because of that has seen the second-lowest percentage of fastballs in baseball (44.3 percent).
In Monday night's 10-8, 19-inning loss to the A's, Hamilton went 0-for-8 with three strikeouts, dropping his slash line to .202/.246/.298 (AVG/OBP/SLG) with one day left in April. His 32 strikeouts entering Tuesday were tied for eighth in the Majors.
"I just know there's a lot more in him," Eppard said. "At any time, he can get hot and be the guy that we're looking for. He's just not there yet."

Category: nickname for Melissa
Guest blogger Nina Badzin has a name problem, and it's all her husband's fault.
You would love my husband, Bryan. He's the guy who lovingly supports my fiction aspirations, encourages trips to writing conferences, preaches delightfully quaint parenting advice, and gets constant praise on my blog.
Put all that good stuff aside for this post, because now we're mad at him.
Get this: Bryan has lost faith in my baby naming abilities. MY abilities! Aren't I the person whose meanderings about baby names got reprinted on Nameberry and BlogHer? No decent person in his right mind would take away what will likely be my last chance to name a new soul.
Bryan (standing here) says I should at least tell you why he's lost patience with my baby name "issues." I'll try to set the scene for you, which took place in June:
ME: I think we should change Elissa's name.
HIM: Fine. Let's do it.
ME: Seriously? She's two.

SAN DIEGO — Pet specialty retailer Petco is launching a campaign to teach children how to safely approach and interact with dogs. The educative measure aims to lower dog-bite statistics, which drives traffic into its brick-and-mortar stores.
Petco certified dog trainers recommend that children follow the SAFE method, which is explained as follows:
S: Stop, stand still and turn sideways before getting close to the dog.
A: Ask the owner for permission to pet the dog first.
F: Fist, offer a closed fist for the dog to sniff while standing still. Allow the dog to approach you. If the dog is friendly, pet the dog under its chin.
E: Exit slowly away from the dog by backing up, then turning to walk away.
To avoid startling dogs, children should not run up to any unfamiliar dog or pet the animal on the top of the head or on its face. The SAFE method gives dogs a comfort zone in which to meet a child and approach that child if they feel comfortable.
Petco certified dog trainers also recommend that children "make like a tree" by standing as still as possible in the event a loose dog approaches them. Children should keep their hands by their sides or behind them, and look down at the ground while staying quiet and never pet or engage any loose dog. Dogs will most likely lose interest and walk away, and children should stay in this position until they can no longer see the dog.
Petco is also offering Positive Dog Training classes. The 30-minute class provides hands-on tips and information about greeting both familiar and unfamiliar dogs, as well as how to care for the physical, mental, social and emotional health of animals. Petco's Positive Dog Training rewards good behavior in a group or private setting. Classes keep dogs socially engaged and mentally alert by stimulating their minds while keeping them active.
Petco is offering the training classes as part of its mission to not only supply pet owners with products but also with services and advice on how to keep happy, healthy pets in a safe environment.

Youngsters at Sutton Church of England Primary School have started to welcome some very special guests.
Members of the after-school gardening club – which was launched in September – have created a bug hotel from recycled material so they can get a close look at minibeasts.
They have also planted seeds and bulbs and have used donated Morrisons' Let's Grow vouchers to purchase a hedgehog house, potato barrel and wormery.
"We are looking forward to the spring when the garden comes alive again," said teaching assistant Sarah Baker, who runs the club. "The children absolutely love getting involved."

text: First depth chart keeps starting QB a mystery By Dave Hickman August 25, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN - At some point this week, Dana Holgorsen might reveal his starting quarterback for Saturday's season opener against William & Mary.Then again, perhaps he won't.West Virginia's head coach grudgingly, it seems, took a small step in that direction Sunday night when he allowed the school's sports information staff to release a depth chart. It didn't really answer the question about the Mountaineers' starting quarterback.Holgorsen listed both junior Paul Millard and Florida State transfer Clint Trickett atop the depth chart at the position. The only thing clear seems to be that redshirt freshman Ford Childress is behind those two.Millard spent the past two years as Geno Smith's backup at the position. Trickett transferred from Florida State just this summer and became immediately eligible to play because he graduated from FSU.Both are juniors.Apparently, the two will continue to battle it out this week in practice prior to Saturday's noon game at Mountaineer Field. And, in truth, perhaps Holgorsen can afford to wait as long as possible because no matter which one wins the battle, the selection doesn't change West Virginia's offense.The quarterback never does."It's not like we're running one set of plays with one, one set of plays with another and a third set of plays with the other,'' offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said. "Whoever functions better in our offense is always going to be the guy.''Indeed, for the most part Holgorsen's quarterbacks have always played essentially the same, from Graham Harrell at Texas Tech to Case Keenum at Houston to Brandon Weeden at Oklahoma State and to Smith at West Virginia. They don't all look the same and to a certain degree they have different skill sets, but all were blended into the same offensive system.That's not necessarily the case at other places under other coaches. Former West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez is a good example. He arrived at West Virginia having coached prolific passers at Tulane and pass-run combo quarterbacks at Clemson. At WVU, he had running backs and running quarterbacks and he tweaked his offense to suit them. Now at Arizona, he's back to more of a combo style.Some schools even adapt offenses to suit more than one quarterback at a time, like Oklahoma did the last two years with Landry Jones throwing the ball and Blake Bell running a power scheme - with Bell as the power - in short yardage and near the goal line."A lot of places are like that. They have a quarterback they're going to bring in to run the read option, then they have a quarterback they're going to bring in to throw the football,'' Dawson said. "We're not like that. "We're going to program and develop a quarterback within our system. I don't care how different they are, you have to be able to function in this system. If you can do it, fine. If not, you're probably not going to be able to play.''nn There were some other interesting revelations in the depth chart the school released Sunday night, not the least of which was the stable of running backs.Charles Sims, the Houston transfer, was listed first, as expected. But then came true freshman Wendell Smith, junior college transfer Dreamius Smith and junior Dustin Garrison. Last year's leading rusher, Andrew Buie, didn't make the list.At wide receiver, Ivan McCartney and K.J. Myers are the starters ahead of junior college transfers Kevin White and Ronald Carswell. The inside receiver is freshman Daikiel Shorts.The only other new thing on the offense was at left guard, where Marquis Lucas has been the starter most of the month but now the depth chart lists Lucas or Pat Eger. On defense, there were no real surprises among the starters, although two - Jared Barber and Doug Rigg - are listed at sam linebacker. As expected, Travis Bell and Ishmael Banks are listed as the starters at cornerback.Two names that did not show up on the defensive depth chart were linebackers Wes Tonkery and Shaq Petteway. Freshman Marvin Gross was listed as a backup in that group. And perhaps the battle for the job of kickoff specialist continues. Josh Lambert is listed on the depth chart as the kicker, but no distinction is made between placekicker and kickoffs.Junior college transfer Nick O'Toole is listed as the punter, while Sims and Smallwood are listed as the kick returners and Carswell is ahead of Jordan Thompson as the punt returner.nnAll during West Virginia's preseason camp, one word kept coming up when coaches talked about their position battles.Uncomfortable."We're trying to make every room uncomfortable,'' Dawson said. "That's the key.''By uncomfortable, Dawson and the other assistants mean competitive."I think ever since I got here, rooms have been comfortable because it's been clear cut: These are the guys and these are the guys that are behind,'' Dawson said. "There are no levels in the rooms now. We've got three, sometimes four, sometimes five people in every room at every position that are battling and capable."The whole level of competition has picked up. And you can tell. You take a day off and you're going to fall.''nnIt's not just at quarterback and on the offense - wide receivers and running backs - where there is intrigue about the depth chart.In fact, there are perhaps even more close position battles on defense than offense. As many as eight to 12 linebackers could play, seven or eight defensive linemen and perhaps 10 players on the back end at safety and cornerback.Don't expect those battles to ever produce clear-cut winners, however. Defensive coordinator Keith Patterson has too many different things to defend to settle on just 11 - or even 15 or 16 - mainstays."This is a game about matchups and it's become more so that way,'' Patterson said. "You have to defend from sideline to sideline and from goal line to goal line. You can't do that by just putting this group of people on the field and letting them go.''In other words, expect the personnel on defense to change frequently."You can't allow the offense to create mismatches,'' Patterson said. "And that's when the personnel and substitution patterns come in place.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dphickman1 Story Share Story Share Trending Now 1 Man charged after motorcycle pursuit early Sunday 2 Deer in 8 WV counties found dead from EHD 3 Former State Police captain now chief in Winfield 4 'Heroin(e)' spotlights women helping combat Huntington's drug crisis 5 Innerviews: Dual-identity surgeon riding high in horse racing world WVU football depth chart -- Aug. 25 Previous Story South Charleston QB ready for encore Next Story

Thursday Summer Fun: "Treasured Books" invites visitors to create their own unique book cover like those in the exhibit. 1-3 p.m. June 26. Free with admission for families with children ages 4-10.
The most basic tenet of Buddhism is to spend one's life on a path that leads to enlightenment. Assistant curator Melody Rod-Ari kept this in mind as she designed the exhibit "In the Land of Snow: Buddhist Art of the Himalayas," which opens at the Norton Simon Museum Friday.
The exhibit will allow visitors a chance to weave their way through more than 35 sculptures, thangka paintings, ritual objects and other items tracing 1,300 years of the artistic history of India, Nepal and Tibet. The goal is for visitors to come away with a better understanding of the religion.
"It's an introductory exhibition to Vajrayana Buddhism and the practice and rituals. For me it's about introducing this esoteric school of Buddhism to people who are interested and the general public," Rod-Ari said.
Rod-Ari is a specialist in Buddhist art, specifically materials from Southeast Asia, and a practicing Buddhist. Her thoughts on the exhibit are echoed by its chief curator, Carol Togneri.
"We have watched with great excitement the transformation of our special exhibitions galleries as this compelling show has come together with devotional objects both delicate and powerful, small and colossal. And I trust that our own enchantment with such beauty will be mirrored by our visitors' fascination with this enlightening journey through 13 centuries of Himalayan Buddhist art," Togneri said.
Rod-Ari believes the show is important because it provides an opportunity to showcase many of the Norton Simon Museum's Buddhist-related objects, including her favorite, an applique thangka of the future Buddha Maitreya.
"The highlight both visually and historically is the monumental thangka," Rod-Ari said.
A thangka is a painted or appliqued silk fabric, usually bearing images of deities in the Buddhist religion. This particular piece was commissioned by the Eighth Dalai Lama for his tutor in the 18th century. Very fragile, it is made of silk and, as displayed, hangs more than 22 feet long, so the museum has built a special viewing ramp.
The thangka was produced as a unique applique, which differs from what is commonly considered applique in that instead of pieces of fabric attached to a solid backing, this work is created by cuttings of silk fabric sewn together without a backing, Rod-Ari said. The effect is akin to a "silk mosaic or puzzle," she added.
"What's really amazing about this is all the fine lines that you see are made of silk cord, and the silk cord consists of horsehair," Rod-Ari said.
The cord is created by wrapping two or three strands of horsehair with silk thread. This is then couched to the fabric to create all of the outlines for the figures, flowers and various motifs. Details, like eyes and fingernails, are embroidered.
"It's amazing. If you're not a religious person, you might become one when you see this," Rod-Ari said. "It totally exceeded my expectations. I knew it was important and I knew it was going to be beautiful, but when I saw it for the first time my jaw dropped."
Almost all of the museum's painted thangkas will be on display in "In the Land of Snow," such as one featuring the deity Mahakala, whose name translates to "Great Black One." Mahakala is a guardian of the dharma or Buddhist faith and is fierce, Rod-Ari said. He wears a garland of severed heads and is armed with a chopper to kill and skin opponents of the faith.
"Within Mahayana Buddhism you have these really specific images, very peaceful, but on the flip side you also have these wrathful images and they have the same function. Their function is to protect the Buddhist faith, to teach you about the tenets of Buddhists and also to help the practitioner see beyond our physical world, to realize that everything before us is just an illusion," Rod-Ari said. "The truth of the matter is that we have to look beyond the physical to recognize that there is more than our daily rituals and daily lives, and in doing that you reach enlightenment."
The exhibit also features a mandala from Nepal created in 1648. At its center is a depiction of Chakrasamvara and his consort Vajravarahi in sexual union. For practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism or Tantra Buddhism, these types of images are supposed to remind the viewer of the importance of wisdom, symbolized by Chakrasamvara, and compassion, as represented by Vajravarahi, Rod-Ari said.
"Wisdom comes from understanding the true nature of reality and for Buddhists the reality is that everything is impermanent and illusionary," Rod-Ari said. "The thought is that with this wisdom comes the bliss of seeing through the delusions and the compassion comes from sharing this bliss with others."

Rally reminds Redmond of 2003 night in Boston
MIAMI -- Not all dramatic comeback wins are alike. Sometimes one can propel a team on an improbable run.
Marlins manager Mike Redmond witnessed that first-hand on June 28, 2003.
Then a backup catcher to Ivan Rodriguez, Redmond was on hand when the Marlins rallied from seven runs down after seven innings to beat the Red Sox, 10-9, at Fenway Park.
The big rally came a day after the Marlins were routed, 25-8.
On Monday night, the Marlins overcame a six-run deficit and beat the Nationals, 7-6, scoring four times in the ninth inning. It was the club's first comeback win after trailing by six or more runs in the seventh inning or later since that Boston victory in 2003.
"That was an amazing night, especially after the night before we got hammered," Redmond said.
If the Marlins maintain the momentum and go on to have a special second half, Monday night could be looked at as a turning point.
"I think it can really be a catapult for your team," Redmond said. "And if it all works out, you can look back and go, 'Man, remember that game that we came back in?'
"I think, overall, it shows the character of this ballclub. That we don't quit."

OK so I'm having some difficulty understanding vipassana. It may be that I'm over thinking it, I don't know. I have been practicing Samatha for a while now and would like to start practicing Vipassana aswell.
So, from my understanding the Mahasi method you sit, observe the abdomen rising and falling(while noting "rising" "falling") and also note any feeling, emotions thoughts etc.. This is where I get confused. If you start to think and then label it "thinking" you are thinking "thinking" which then overrides the previous thought, thus making it so you don't observe the original thought because you just put a new one in its place. I can see how it could work for physical sensations but I don't see how with thoughts.Also, when observing the breath when do you switch focus to something else? Say a pain starts to develop in my back. Do I immediately note "pain" or do you wait until the pain becomes intense enough to disrupt your focus on breath? And also today at the bookstore I was browsing through Mindfulness in Plain English. Now it didn't give specific steps but it seemed to be pretty much the same as Mahasi except that you observe the breath at the nose and simply watch without thinking anything that arises? If so then please refer back to the back pain question above and apply it to this method in terms of when to give it attention.
Will someone help clear this up?

New Fishing Regulations Affect Some West Texas Reservoirs
ATHENS — Effective September 1, some Texas reservoirs will have different fish-harvest regulations. One is Lake Kirby, where the 12-inch minimum length and 25-fish daily bag limit for blue and channel catfish was changed to a NO minimum length limit and daily bag limit of 50 blue or channel catfish in any combination. No more than five blue or channel catfish 20 inches or greater can be kept.
The new catfish regulation will give anglers more harvest opportunities (i.e. anglers get to keep more fish and smaller fish) and will also provide more protection of larger catfish to increase, or at least maintain, numbers of larger catfish for anglers to enjoy (i.e. anglers can only keep five 20-inch or longer catfish).
Lake Alan Henry, near Post, will also have a new regulation for black basses. Gone is the 18-inch minimum length limit on spotted bass and smallmouth bass. The new minimum length limit for smallmouth bass is 14 inches, and the daily bag limit is five fish. For spotted bass and largemouth bass there will be NO minimum length limit and a daily bag limit of five largemouth or spotted bass in any combination; however, only two bass less than 18 inches long may be retained per day.
One other new regulation is that handfishing is now legal for blue, channel and flathead catfish. All current length and bag limits apply.
All hunting and fishing regulations are available in the 2011-2012 Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Annual, which can be accessed at http://www.txoutdoorannual.com/.

This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement
Edited by Sarah van Gelder and the staff of YES! Magazine
Paperback, 96 pages
List Price: $9.95. Price: $6.95 (You Save 30%)
The Occupy Wall Street movement names the core issue of our time: the overwhelming power of Wall Street and large corporations—something the political establishment and most media have long ignored.
But the movement goes far beyond this critique. This Changes Everything shows how the movement is shifting the way people view themselves and the world, the kind of society they believe is possible, and their own involvement in creating a society that works for the 99% rather than just the 1%.
