Well, there's good news, and there's bad news. Which do you want first? (Say the good news. You should always get good news first. Much better that way, no risk of the news giver dropping dead before they have the chance to give you the good news.)
The good news? I knew you'd ask for the good news first, it's the sensible thing to do.
Here it is. I have almost reached the end of this tea. That is excellent, excellent news. I very stupidly bought a case of it through Amazon back when I thought I liked it figuring I'd save money that way. That's 6 boxes of tea bags, and I've been suffering through the last four boxes trying to rediscover what I thought I liked about this originally.
Ok, the bad news? The bad news is that I never did rediscover what I thought I liked about this originally. Frankly, it has been a steady downhill ride. Every now and then there's a glimmer. Like this evening, when I had some that had cooled and was actually approximating an iced version, to wash down one of those Amy's frozen roasted vegetable pizzas with no cheese (back in the saddle on the diet and exercise as of today, I hope). That wasn't bad, for a few swallows. But probably because with food, it's disguised enough so that that Om-pickle memory doesn't penetrate, so the flavor of the cucumber is relatively pristine.
I think I figured out what is causing the pickle memory. I think it's the lime. The sourness of the lime.
In any case, I am now hard pressed to let this stay at a rating of 51 (down from the original of 63).

Finger Lakes Fun
My first stop was our Real-World Labs® at Syracuse University. Last time I visited, the lab was in the basement of Machinery Hall on the SU campus--grungy digs. Now, the facility runs in conjunction with SU's School of Information Studies, and boasts an enterprise data center, with 40 KVA of power and cooling. The racks are strung together with five miles of Cat 5 cabling, there's a SAN and a pile of servers. Lab manager Ron Anderson showed off the facility and promptly informed me that there was barely enough equipment for the technology editors and freelancers to do their jobs. New bosses always come with a new budget, right?
While our data center at SU is noteworthy, even more impressive is the collaboration between our editors, contributing editors, and the School of Information Studies' faculty and students. While I was there, two engineers from Cisco arrived with a refrigerator-sized box of gear destined for a Wi-Fi test, now in progress. The engineers spent one day discussing their solution with Dave Molta and a throng of his students. The next day was spent on installation, after which the Cisco team left and Dave's team got down to testing the gear.
It's a particular point of pride for me to see our editors work so closely with students. The editors' wisdom and experience blend nicely with the students' energy and enthusiasm to produce some of our best work.

How to have a safe holiday
Updated 7:27 pm, Thursday, March 13, 2014
Police agencies are beefing up patrols to catch drunken drivers on St. Patrick's Day.
County sheriff's offices and the State Police plan special patrols Friday through Monday with sobriety checkpoints, additional DWI patrols, and underage drinking and sales to minors details. State Police will also be ticketing distracted drivers using handheld electronic devices.
During the 2013 St. Patrick's Day weekend, troopers made 204 arrests for DWI, and issued 9,763 tickets.
Police recommend take the following steps to be safe:
• Before the festivities begin, plan a way to safely get home at the end of the night.
• Before drinking, designate a sober driver and leave your car keys at home.
• If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation to get home safely.
• If available, use your community's sober ride program. If you see a drunken driver on the road, contact local police. You could save a life.
• If you know people who are about to drive while impaired, or ride with someone who is impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

Storm boys win first conference game
The Morris Benson Area boys' hockey team came back from a 1-0 deficit after two periods to take a 4-2 lead and hung on for a 4-3 win over Windom on Saturday at the Civic Center in Benson.
With the win the Storm improved to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the Southwest Conference while Windom fell to 3-3 overall and 2-2 in the conference.
The Eagles got out to a 1-0 lead when they scored on a 5-on-3 power play advantage eight minutes into the opening period. That goal ended the scoring until the third period as each team was denied by the opposing team's goalie.
Tanner Picht scored a power-play goal on a rebound with just over 14 minutes remaining to tie the score at 1-1 and set up an exciting third period. Brady Valnes assisted on Picht's goal.
Tyler Hansen then scored on a breakaway with 11:27 left and the Storm had their first lead of the afternoon.
The Eagles tied the score again just three minutes later.
The Storm then capitalized on another power play advantage when Hansen scored from close in, assisted by Mac Beyer and Jake Manska with 4:09 remaining.
Kelly Engquist picked a good time to score the first goal of his varsity career at the 1:52 mark, assisted by Luke Schwarz and Ethan Ratliff-Crain. The goal made the score 4-2 in favor of the Storm and they needed the added advantage when Windom scored with 1:02 left to draw the Eagles to within 4-3.
Alex Sinclair and the Storm held on to earn their first ever win in the Southwest Conference. Sinclair had a game total of 24 saves.

Frank Hadden
|Full name
|Frank Hadden
|Date of birth
|14 July 1954
|Place of birth
|Dundee, Scotland
|High School of Dundee
|Strathclyde University
Carnegie School of Physical Education
|Rugby union career
Frank Hadden (born 14 June 1954) is a Scottish rugby union coach. He is a former head coach of Scotland and Edinburgh Rugby.
Hadden replaced Matt Williams and was appointed on 15 September 2005.[1] Hadden coached the Merchiston Castle School 1st XV after being appointed Head of Physical Education at the school in 1983. He coached several Scottish age-group teams before being appointed assistant coach of the Caledonian Reds in 1997. He was later appointed coach of Edinburgh Gunners (now Edinburgh Rugby) in 2000 prior to becoming the Scotland coach. He has since coached Scotland to notable wins over England and France in the 2006 Six Nations and again winning the Calcutta Cup against England in the 2008 Six Nations. He parted company with the national side on 2 April 2009 after a second consecutive disappointing Six Nations where they finished second bottom after winning just one match.
Born in Dundee, Hadden was educated at the High School of Dundee and the University of Strathclyde, playing rugby for both. He attended the Carnegie School of Physical Education in Leeds (now Leeds Metropolitan University) to pursue a teaching career.
Playing career[edit]
While teaching at Guiseley School, he played rugby union for Headingley. He occasionally played in their 1st XV[2] when the incumbent fly half, Ian McGeechan (who later became coach of Scotland and the British and Irish Lions) was away on international playing duty.[3] Hadden also spent his youth playing for Dundee HSFP, with his last match in 1987 on a tour of Ireland.[4] Ironically Hadden came close to playing football, with trials with both Queens Park Rangers and Forfar Athletic, as well as being offered a contract by Raith Rovers.[5]
Coaching career[edit]
Merchiston Castle School and Scotland under-16s[edit]
In 1983, Hadden was appointed Head of physical education and director of rugby at Merchiston Castle School (MCS) in Edinburgh. Hadden helped turn the school's 1st XV into a dominant force in Scottish schools rugby.[6] During one four-year period at the school he coached their team to 54 victories from 58 matches.[3] In 1994 he was appointed coach of Scotland under-16s team. He continued to coach national age group sides until 2000.[7]
Hadden's first appointment to a professional team was in 1997 as assistant coach for the Caledonia Reds, one of the four new professional teams launched in Scotland.[6][7] Hadden was included in the 1998 Scotland tour of Australia in the capacity of technical coach. However, when the Scottish Rugby Union was forced to merge the Caledonian Reds with the Glasgow Warriors during budget cut-backs, Hadden returned to teaching at Merchiston.[8][9] While coaching the 1st XV he took them on to win The Scottish Schools Cup on a number of occasions.[10] Along with rugby he was also an athletics coach at the school.[10]
Edinburgh and Scotland[edit]
In 2000 a player revolt led to the removal of Ian Rankin as coach of Edinburgh Rugby. The Scottish Rugby Union's Director of Rugby Jim Telfer asked Hadden to accept the role of head coach.[8] In 2004, he became the first coach to take a Scottish professional team to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals.[11]
In April 2005 Matt Williams was sacked as Scotland coach after losing all but three of his 17 matches in charge.[12] That month Hadden was appointed Scotland interim coach, leading Scotland to victories against the Barbarians and Romania.[13] On 15 September 2005 Hadden was confirmed as Scotland coach until the Rugby World Cup in 2007.[14]
His first Six Nations game was a historic victory over France at Murrayfield on 5 February 2006 by 20 points to 16. This was the first time since 1999 that Scotland had beaten France. He succeeded in generating confidence in the team that was lacking under his predecessor.[15] Chris Paterson said of Hadden's influence: "There is a confidence among the guys now and increased skill and belief in our handling... That's a testament to Frank and his coaching team."[15]
The Calcutta Cup returned to the SRU trophy cabinet on 25 February 2006 for the first time since 2000 after Hadden coached Scotland to victory over England.[16] The win was largely due to a defensive effort that saw 112 tackles made by Scotland, with only 6 missed.[16][17]
Scotland finished third in the 2006 Six Nations, their best result since 2001.[18] Their three wins in the 2006 Six Nations contrasting their sole win from the 2004 and 2005 tournaments.[12] The turnaround was largely credited to Hadden, as the players available were nearly identical.[15] Their win over France in the six-nations put Scotland eighth in the IRB world rankings. Under Hadden Scotland reached as high as seventh in the world rankings.[19][20]
Hadden continued to coach Scotland through 2007, and coached them to the quarter-finals of the 2007 World Cup where they were defeated by Argentina. On 18 December 2007 the SRU announced that Hadden had signed a rolling contract to continue as Scotland coach until November 2008.[21]
Hadden won the Calcutta Cup for a second time on 8 March 2008, after a 15–9 victory over England at Murrayfield. Poor performances subsequently led to commentators and former players to call for Hadden's removal. He parted company with the national side on 2 April 2009 after a second consecutive disappointing Six Nations, and was replaced by Andy Robinson.

The Isle of May is the latest location to join in a worldwide beach clean-up campaign.
Staff and volunteers on the island regularly clean the beaches on the island, both because the rubbish is a hazard to wildlife and as it spoils what is a special place for visitors.
However, last week the team embraced an initiative taking off worldwide that urges anyone visiting a beach to spend just two minutes picking up rubbish.
On the Isle of May, the results at Pilgrims Haven were mostly plastic, including about 40 bottles.
Reserve manager David Pickett explained it was a way everyone could get involved in cleaning the beaches they visited.
"Of course it doesn't cure the problem of avoidable pollution of beaches but I always think that if everyone took sometime to clear up some rubbish they would be more responsible in disposing of their own as they would have a better idea of the mess and impact it causes," David added.
The campaign went viral online after being featured on a BBC film about a Lego spillage on a Newquay beach - see www.beachclean.net.

Legal Question in Consumer Law in Minnesota
I still do not have the wedding day photographs or photo albums from my wedding day in 2007. I paid and my package included an album. In addition, I paid an additional $1300 for an engagement album and upgrade to my wedding album a few years ago. I have received the digital images of the engagement shoot and day after shoot, but not from my wedding day, nor have I received my albums. I have several emails saved back and forth with the photographer with promised deadlines. I am lost as to what to do now. I just really want my wedding day photos and my albums or my money back. He is a great guy and photographer, I think his business grew faster than he was prepared. What are my options? Can I go after her for my money and/or promised product or am I stuck with just bad reviews and reporting him to the BBS?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Hello. The major issue that stands out is that your issue stems from 2007 and it is now late 2013. I urge you to get to an attorney immediately. In issues such as this you typically irrevocably lose certain rights by undue delay. I suggest you google the term 'statute of limitations'. All the best.

The presentations from the Making Information Pay conference organized by publishing consultants Mike Shatzkin and Ted Hill for the Book Industry Study Group are now up on the web.
Having attended the conference, I recommend checking out "The Customer's Always Right: Who is Today's Book Consumer?" by Kelly Gallagher of Bowker. His data-rich slides reveal fascinating customer behavior by age and gender that should be required reading for editors and publicists as well as booksellers, librarians, and media. In other words, a much wider audience than the publishing operations executives, indie and university press publishers and academics who attended the half-day program at the McGraw Hill Auditorium on May 7th.
Why does it always seem like the publishing rank and file are the last to be exposed to this crucial information? Oh well, I guess that's where Follow the Reader can play a role.
Getting to Know the Customer
Gallagher prefaced his talk by arguing that we need to work harder to understand people who buy books, since they are buying them in new places and in new ways. As it happens, Bowker, one of the show's sponsors, has a helpful product in this area: PubTrack, a syndicated consumer research service that delivers monthly stats based on responses from 36,000 book buyers–selected according to age, gender, income, household size and location–who buy 120,000 books over the course of 80,000 "shopping occasions," and have signed on to answer 75-question surveys. Nice information, if you can afford it!
To his credit, Gallagher did share a lot of great information. For example, did you know…
Most readers now get book information online

WALLABIES captain Will Genia says there are no excuses for Australia delivering anything less than a quality performance against the Springboks tomorrow night in Perth despite the late setback of losing hooker Stephen Moore.
Injuries have hit the Wallabies hard this season, and when Moore broke down with a low grade hamstring problem at training yesterday, coach Robbie Deans was forced into yet another last-minute reshuffle with Waratahs hooker Tatafu Polota-Nau added to the starting team.
James Horwill and David Pocock, both Wallaby captains, head the list of high-profile players sitting in the casualty ward for Australia with star backs James O'Connor and Pat McCabe also unavailable.
Australia was crushed by the All Blacks in back-to-back Bledisloe Cup losses to start the Rugby Championship, but Genia said the Wallabies haven't blamed injuries for their poor performances and aren't about to start against South Africa.
"You've got blokes coming in who can do as good a job as those who are missing," Genia said.
"Pocock is obviously world class and so is Stephen but you've got Taf (Polota-Nau) coming in who brings a very physical edge to the game and I think (rookie) Michael Hooper made 30 odd tackles last week as well so you get work rate from those blokes and effort.
"It's been a great feeling amongst the group, the last few weeks have been very disappointing in terms of the result and we said in the build up to those weeks that we prepared well and trained well but didn't put the performance on the park.
"That's very much something we're looking forward to doing is transitioning what we do on the training paddock onto the field and that's the big challenge for us tomorrow and hopefully we can do it."
Australia is looking to extend its unbeaten run against South Africa to five matches with victory at Patersons Stadium.
The Springboks will leapfrog the Wallabies into second place on the world rankings if they win tomorrow night.

We have a Dell1815dn on net that has been working perfectly… until today. Suddenly, we can copy and we can scan, but we can not print. It does not appear any message error, it just does not work. This problem has become in all computers at the same time and we haven´t done any configuration change recently. Can anybody help us? Thank you very much!!! Cristina
Thanks for posting the fix!

Anybody there?
The Forum is a user to user process so maybe the other users do not have your printer. You can use the Dell Printer Support site. There are links to -Chat With UsOne-Stop Troubleshooting ToolAssistance with "HowTo" QuestionsOut of Warranty Service
Hi, Chris and everybody else.
I visited the support site but, unluckily, I did not find a solution. After trying many things, finally IT IS FIXED. I´m going to explain it here for the case that somebody else could need it:
Since the machine was copying and scanning ok, it could not be a hardware problem, it had to be something with the installation, so:
1.Print the network configuration report
2. Choose "add printer" in control panel
3. Select "printer on net"
4. Select "Connect a printer in the internet"
5. Copy, from the network configuration report, the printer URL
6. Finish and it is fixed
Thank you very much and have a nice day!
You´re welcome. "I love it when a plan comes together" :-)

'Oms' Thiagarajan to apply for court order to take possession of printing machine housed at his rival Makkal Osai's premises
KUALA LUMPUR: Businessman 'Oms' Thiagarajan plans to seek a court declaration that he is the lawful owner of a printing machine housed at the premises of a local Tamil daily.
The Klang based businessman said he would get a court order allowing him to remove the machine from the premises of his 'rival', Makkal Osai.
On Aug 16, Makkal Osai reported that Thiagarajan had tried to block the printing of the paper as he owned printing machine.
The machine, according to the report, was formerly owned by Makkal Osai general manager SM Periasamy's son-in-law M Mathialagan, who subsequently sold it to Thiagarajan.
Thiagarajan claimed that since the printing machine was his, he had the right to dismantle the machine and remove it from Makkal Osai's premises.
Makkal Osai managing director S Sunther said the newspaper's management was willing to return the machine to Thiagarajan if he could prove that he owned the machine.
Thiagarajan, however, claimed Sunther, did not walk the talk as he had refused to handover the printing machine despite being shown evidence of ownership.
It is learnt that Sunther, son of former MIC deputy president S Subramaniam, met Thiagarajan on Aug 16 to discuss the matter.
Tenancy agreement
Also present at the meeting were Makkal Osai general manager Periasamy and the Tamil daily's former panel lawyer K Saraswathy.
"Although, no decision was made at the meeting, Sunther agreed to provide a tenancy agreement to Thiagarajan so that the machine can remain at the Makkal Osai premises.
Thiagarajan, however, wants to dismantle the machine because it is on the newspaper's premises.
"If he is given a tenancy agreement, then he will not dismantle the machine or move it. Thiagarajan would allow the paper to use the machine for printing the paper.
"A verbal agreement was also reached for Sunther's other paper, Thina Kural, to be printed using the same machine," said Periasamy.
"The next day, Sunther met Saraswathy to discuss the tenancy arrangement and terms for printing," he added.
However the deal went sour when Sunther subsequently issued a press statement saying that there was no shread of evidence that the machine belonged to Thiagarajan.
"So, I have decided to go to court and get an order. They did not give me a tenancy agreement and also stopped me from taking the machine out of their premises," said Thiagarajan.
He said this was purely a business deal and that he had no intention of blocking the printing of Makkal Osai, which is now being printed using the machine of a rival newspaper.
The matter would be heard at the Shah Alam High Court on Sept 20.

$360,000 is the income Santa Fe County received from lodgers' taxes in fiscal year 2011.
8.6% is the increase in lodgers' tax income Santa Fe County received over FY 2010.
I think the largest reason [for the increase] probably is the fact that Encantado resort and Bishop's Lodge Ranch saw a very strong increase in their occupancy over last fiscal year…We were a portion of that [increase], but there are many factors that caused it.—Russ Rountree, president, Impressions Advertising (under contract with the county to promote local tourism)
Santa Fe County lodgers' tax income leapt last fiscal year, partly with the help of Impressions Advertising, which touted the county in national magazines and in 15-second cable TV spots that ran in Roswell, Farmington and Las Cruces.
Unfortunately, next year's numbers might not be so encouraging: FY 2011 ended in June, before the Las Conchas and Pacheco fires derailed many tourists' plans to visit.
"When the nightly newscast came on [about the Las Conchas fire], phone lines immediately lit up with cancellations because of the doom and gloom put forth by the national media," Rountree told the Santa Fe Board of County Commissioners at its Aug. 30 meeting.
Steve Lewis, a spokesman for the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau, says part of the CVB's efforts involved trying to correct misinformation about the fire.
"NBC consistently called [Los Alamos National Laboratory] the Los Alamos Nuclear Weapons Laboratory," Lewis says. "We were in the mode of constantly correcting them. It didn't do any good; they continued calling it that."
CVB, which was criticized in a recent consultant's report for an ineffective staffing structure and other alleged shortcomings, would not provide the city's FY 2011 lodgers' tax income figure before press time.
The city and county are hoping to receive a joint promotion grant of $10,000 from the state Tourism Department in October, which would help recruit travel writers to visit Santa Fe. While their operations are very different—CVB has a $2.6 million annual budget and is a full-fledged city department, while Impressions has a $290,000 annual budget for its work on county promotions—their branding seems to concur:
The city's slogan is "Travel to the beat of a different drum," while the county's is "It's no place like home."

Hemp – Stonger and Lighter than Cement
I subscribe to some very scholarly journals on green building. I also subscribe to some radical journals on politics and conspiracies. I like to check out the pulse from various sources. And when I start seeing trends overlapping I know it is something worth paying attention to.
This week I was reading in this one very academic journal about the use of hemp fibers mixed with lime to make a concrete-like material that is stronger and apparently six times lighter than real concrete. It is used in France a lot and expanding around Europe.
And then one of my conspiracy journals also spoke about it, but from the perspective of it being this miracle material that was being kept from the building industry due to political reasons (hemp apparently has many uses that threatens existing companies, namely oil and timber companies).
Seeing it in two widely different contects raised my interest. It does indeed seem to be a viable building material on the rise. Worth keeping an eye out for it.
The basics:
hemp grows as a plant, thus CONSUMES CO2.
it grows abundantly and quickly, thus is rapidly renewable.
because it grows, it does most of the production itself reducing embodied energy.
once it is made into "concrete" the CO2 is fixed into the walls, thus it is a CO2 neutral or possibly even CO2 NEGATIVE product.
portland cement requires huge manufacturing power and thus creates massive amounts of CO2. It is the largest creator of CO2 in the building industry. Enough said.
Basically, the connection of hemp with weed smoking hippies is a farce. Hemp has too many positive attributes, from paper, oil, wax, cement (the list is long) for it to be considered negatively.

Plenty of casino talk in Ballem's Olympic agenda
Related Attachment(s)
Vancouver's city manager spent three hours gabbing about gambling on Feb. 25.
According to Penny Ballem's calendar, obtained via Freedom of Information, she met with Housing and Social Development minister Rich Coleman about Hastings Racecourse before discussing the racino's operating agreement with unnamed Great Canadian Gaming officials. She also had a conference call with Edgewater Casino president Scott Menke.
Click here to see Penny Ballem's calendar
Feb. 25 was the last Thursday of the 2010 Winter Olympics. City hall spokeswoman Wendy Stewart said Ballem refused to comment.
During the Games, Ballem's schedule included daily Emergency Operations Centre policy briefings and teleconferences with city hall chief of staff Mike Magee, Olympic services general manager Peter Judd and four others.
Five consecutive days of meetings on "encampments" began Feb. 15 when protesters pitched tents on a Hastings Street lot that was used by VANOC.
Ballem's Feb. 16 schedule included a meeting titled "LiveCity Yaletown capacity review." Later that day, an Alexisonfire concert drew more than 7,600 fans but was curtailed when 19 people were injured by a collapsed barricade.
Year-end financials were discussed Feb. 18, the day before Ballem met with Vancouver Police deputy chief Steve Sweeney, Vancouver 2010 Integrated Security Unit chief Bud Mercer and VANOC executive vice-president Terry Wright to discuss planning for Feb. 28, the Games' closing day.
Ballem and 10 senior city, parks and theatres officials discussed "Olympic costing" on Feb. 24.

Chargers on offense (Edge - Chargers)
QB Philip Rivers has been carrying the offense and leads the NFL in touchdown passes (16) and quarterback rating (108.5). He'll want to erase the memory of his three-turnover performance in a loss at Buffalo seven days ago that included an interception on first-and-goal from the 9-yard line late in the game. Those costly turnovers sabotaged another fine statistical game (22-of-29 passing, two TDs). The Chargers, at least for the moment, can't depend on RB LaDainian Tomlinson (446 yards, 3.6 average per carry) to produce 100-yard rushing games. Tomlinson has topped 100 yards just once this season. Tomlinson was frustrated with getting just 14 carries (for 41 yards) against Buffalo, but the combination of his decreased production (ailing big toe a factor) and the offensive line's blocking inconsistencies has led to a higher dependence on the passing game. The statistics -- the Chargers are ninth in passing and 26th in rushing -- aren't lying. WR Vincent Jackson ranks 13th in the NFL with 478 receiving yards, while TE Antonio Gates (24 catches for 307 yards and four TDs) is running better than he has all season. New Orleans MLB Jonathan Vilma has battled back from last year's knee injury to regain his 2005 Pro Bowl form. DEs Will Smith and Charles Grant are a terrific tandem in terms of harassing quarterbacks. CB Mike McKenzie (27 career interceptions) is always capable of making a game-changing defensive play.
Chargers on defense (Edge - Saints)
QB Drew Brees has to be salivating over the chance to play against his former mates. He doesn't have to worry about being chased by injured Shawne Merriman and, based on playing behind a line that has allowed just seven sacks, he should have plenty of time to pick apart a defense that ranks 32nd (last) in the NFL against the pass. Brees (2,242 yards) has 12 touchdown passes to go with seven interceptions. The Chargers have picked off just six passes in seven games. CB Antonio Cromartie has intercepted passes in just one game this season (two against the New York Jets) after boasting that his goal for the season was 15 picks. SS Clinton Hart needs to tackle better this week after missing at least three tackles against Buffalo. OLB Shaun Phillips has a team-high 3 1/2 sacks but could use some help from DEs Igor Olshansky (two sacks) and Luis Castillo (1 1/2). With RB Reggie Bush (knee) sidelined, veteran Deuce McAllister will receive a heavy workload. The Saints are 20-8 (counting one playoff game) when McAllister has topped 100 yards rushing. WR Marques Colston (team-record 98 catches in 2007) will be looking for a breakout game in his second contest since returning from thumb surgery. WRs Devery Henderson (31.0-yard average on 15 receptions) and Robert Meachem (30.5-yard average on eight catches) are deep threats and create room for TE Jeremy Shockey (21 receptions) to get open on short and intermediate routes.
Special teams (Edge - Chargers)
Here's how good Chargers P Mike Scifres has been: He has averaged less than 40 yards per punt in back-to-back games yet still ranks third in the NFL with a 48.9 average. New Orleans is featuring a new punter in Ben Graham after waiving Steve Weatherford (42.1). The Chargers also rate a huge edge at kicker with Nate Kaeding (12-of-15 on field goals) against Taylor Mehlhaff (2-of-3 since replacing injured Martin Gramatica). Another big break for the Chargers is not having to contend with Bush (21.9 average, 3 TDs) on punt returns; Lance Moore (9.3 average in 2007) replaces Bush. With Bush sidelined, Darren Sproles (28.0 on kickoffs; 13.0 on punts) is by far the best returner on the field.
What to expect (Edge - Saints)
You have two desperate teams badly in need of a victory to avoid a 3-5 record at the midway point. Though both the Saints and Chargers were tabbed as possible Super Bowl participants before the season, neither team would be in the playoffs if the field were set today. Trying to pick which one of these up-and-down teams will be more ready to play at Wembley Stadium is like trying to decide whether Big Ben or the London Eye is the better tourist attraction. In other words, eye of the beholder reigns. Both teams can move the football through the air and both teams are prone to defensive issues. So the safe bet is to predict that the scoreboard operator will be kept busy. If you're looking for what could make the difference in a high-scoring shootout, consider this: The Chargers are scoring touchdowns in just 50 percent of their red-zone possessions (13-of-26), while the Saints are sixth in the NFL in keeping teams out of the end zone (allowing just 9 TDs in 25 chances) once opponents venture inside their 20-yard line. And with the Saints playing the second of four consecutive games away from the Louisiana Superdome, it's likely they are a tad more desperate than the Chargers to avoid a long dreary flight back to the United States.
PICK: Saints 38, Chargers 34
-- Mike Sullivan
Another view
Sheldon Mickles, Baton Rouge Advocate
Saints 38, Chargers 37
Let's see: the Saints lead the NFL in passing and the Chargers rank 32nd against the pass. On the other hand, the Chargers are ninth in passing, while the Saints are 21st against the pass. If the Saints can slow down L.T. -- Minnesota's Adrian Peterson had just 32 yards on 21 carries against them -- this winds up being a jolly-good Brees-Rivers shootout. First one to 38 (points) wins.

STERLING � Helen Derby (Gustafson) Fifield, 87, died on Thursday, Oct. 17.
She was born in 1926 in Worcester, the youngest child of Harry and Ruby (Derby) Gustafson.
Mrs. Fiefield graduated from North High School in 1944 and earned her bachelor's degree in 1948 from Mount Holyoke College, where she developed lifelong friendships. During her freshman year, following a train trip back to Worcester, she met the love of her life, George C. Fifield, on the steps of Union Station.
She spent the first 20 years of her marriage as an Army wife, raising four children and following her husband around the globe to many military postings, including Japan and Germany. Upon retirement from military life, the couple settled in Holden where they became involved in the greater Worcester community. She was an active and committed volunteer, serving on many local boards: Age Center; Goddard/Homestead; International Center of Worcester; Memorial Foundation for the Blind; RSVP; Sterling Women's Club; and the East Lake Waushacum Association in Sterling. She was also a member of the Worcester Art Museum, the Museum of Russian Icons and the Museum of Fine Arts.
In addition, Mrs. Fifield worked as the state advocate for the Office for Children, then served as the Worcester County Advocate for the Massachusetts Association for Mental Health. In her later years, she enjoyed selling real estate for several local firms.
In 1979, she and her husband moved to their cottage on the shores of Lake Waushacum in Sterling, spending 30 years pursuing her other long-term interests, knitting for her extended family and disabled veterans, playing the piano at family events, teaching her children and grandchildren to swim, waterskiing and canoeing, hosting the annual family reunion, indulging her fascination with birds and perfecting her special chocolate sauce.
She leaves her husband, her nine grandchildren and her four children, George C. Fifield Jr. and his wife, Suvanna, of California, Peter Fifield and his wife, Liberta, of Spencer; Nancy Jeppson and her husband, Eric, of Worcester and Janet Fifield of Kingston.
She was predeceased by her brother, Harry Gustafson Jr. and her sister, Esther Torberg.

SENSeOR : SAW sensors need no local power source
Post a comment
SENSeOR, a French start-up based in Sophia-Antipolis (Nice France), is proposing a comprehensive range of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensors.
Acoustic-wave based sensor technology has matured allowing so far impossible applications or to replace existing solutions for higher customer value. The strengths of this technology allow wireless sensors that need no local power source: moreover, due to the absence of moving parts and electronic components, SAW sensors are very robust to work in any environment. Very stable, they achieve high measurement range with high sensitivity; based on mature high-volume SAW filter production sources, SAW sensors are well adapted for cost-effective sensing solutions.
Improved functionality & effectiveness have been achieved through the use of SAW sensors in a wide range of applications like:
- Real-time temperature ( and other like torque) measurement on rotating parts,
- Pressure and temperature measurement inside trucks tires for higher safety,
- Reliable temperature measurement in the presence of strong electric or magnetic fields.
Resulting key benefits of the SAW solution are:
- Increased uptime through maintenance-free and very robust sensors,
- Increased throughput, lower consumption and reduced wear due to the ability to measure in almost any location and environment,
- Lower life-cycle costs through new preventive maintenance solutions,
- Improved quality management and process understanding due to complete measurement chains.
The SAW_TDK1 evaluation kit includes one electronic unit for wireless interrogation of SAW sensors at 434MHz and three SAW temperature sensors fitted with different kinds of antennas. SAW stress sensors as well as pressure sensors will soon be added to this evaluation kit.
By using the SAW_TDK1 kit, our clients may realize quick and efficient tests in their specific environments, with the support of SENSeOR engineers: customization of the solution will then be possible based on these first results.
Andreas Jagtøyen, General Manager Machinery Instrumentation at Kongsberg Maritime AS, a partner who has industrialized an acoustic-wave based in-engine bearing temperature sensor for vessel motors, confirms " we have installed thousands of systems working in the toughest conditions and none of the sensors has ever failed. We will use this technology for other break-through applications".
SENSeOR, through a buy-out and through strong partnerships, including several leading French research institutes, has quickly established a leadership position offering a complete portfolio of competencies, simulation tools, technology bricks & IP and partners. Gerhard Heider, CEO of SENSeOR, adds: "We are mainly targeting innovative companies, leaders in their markets, because the initial deployment of the technology is via custom projects".

Rumour – GTA V protagonist, release date, and map detailed
This stack of Grand Theft Auto V information purportedly originating with a disgruntled former Rockstar North employee is interesting – and hugely spurious.
The info dump was posted on the Gamespot forums; it has since been deleted, but is still available through Google's caches.
The poster signed up with a brand new account to post the info, and claims to be a friend of someone who "recently got sacked from RockStar North for general misconduct" and who is apparently free from non-disclosure agreements thanks to the termination of his or her contract.
According to this dubious source, Grand Theft Auto V will have only one playable character, Albert de Silva, the "rich guy" featured in the first trailer. De Silva is part of a criminal faction from Vice City, is half Hispanic, and has a son named Kevin – a "stereotypical CoD player" who is "lazy, useless and shouts racial abuse online" but does admire Albert. Albert will not die at the end of the game.
The map will be five times as large as GTA IV and divided into three parts. Los Santos is around half of the map's total area. A variety of planes will be available to fly, and cars and weapons will be customisable.
Multiplayer will support up to 32 players on consoles, with PC to be confirmed. Players can form gangs, which will be ranked by reputation, and can perform tasks – the examples given are robbing a laundry or stealing weapons from the military.
Finally, the source puts Grand Theft Auto V down for a May 2013 release, with at least six months of core development still to go before a more firm window can be set, and a playable demo at E3 2012.
Hit the cache link above to read more; the poster goes into detail on Wanted levels, chases and in-game radio among other snippets.
All of this is pretty dodgy – if the source isn't under contractual secrecy, why the anonymity? How many staffers does Rockstar fire that it won't be able to identify the source immediately? And why the heck does Rockstar, a company noted for its insistence on keeping things under wraps, not have exit clauses on its NDAs? So pour a huge pile of salt on.
We'll ask Rockstar for comment. No official details regarding Grand Theft Auto V's story, features, platforms or release have been revealed.
a thanks to http://www.vg247.com/2012/03/26/rumo...-map-detailed/
in the comments one person said the user got banned from gamespot and google delted the information, so my thoughts we'll see it at e3 and possibly in may 2013 release or even at christmas would be a nice gift. hopefully a collectors edition will come out as well. the only thing that kills me is the wait lol 14 more months

If true this isn't good:
11. Police cars will go after you if you're obviousely breaking the speed limit.
4 star - road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police.Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 24 in-game hours for someone matching your description.
5 star - shoot to kill, arrest only if it's made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 48 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wanted.
6 star - military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 72 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wanted.
Greatness Awaits

Well I have to say if this is true, it does make it more interesting for me thanks for sharing.
03-27-2012 #9
i just want them to keep the old wanted levels, but more realism might be cool
03-27-2012 #10
Well, the brief description on the protagonist's son being a stereotypical Call of Duty player sounds just like one of the characters mentioned in the leaked character sheet (or whatever it's called) for a Rockstar title a while back.
That being said, I doubt a lot of this stuff is true. It sounds more like wishful thinking from an obsessed fan. The new wanted system sounds ridiculous. I don't question them wanting to focus on realism in certain areas but why force the player to wait another 24 to 72 minutes to lose the cops? You may as well just restart the game.
And trust me when I say that the average GTA player doesn't want to obey the speed limit in an open-world video game. If they did, they would be playing Mafia instead. I was always under the impression that unless you ran over someone or bumped into a cop car, the police really didn't give a $#@! in Rockstar's universe, which seemed like a running gag.

What is a 72 hour wait supposed to be good for when i can just enter a safehouse and "sleep" a few times till the day(s) is over?
Or i can change clothes and put a wig and shades on
I think such a system would just spoil the fun.
03-27-2012 #12
May as well change the name from GTA to Real Life Driving Simulator....SMH. R* killing me with this realism crap for a GTA game. Would rather play San Andreas than play GTA IV.Why wait later when you can do now!

This game is looking really good, it gives off that GTA:SA vibe. I hope R* also looked towards Mafia 2 for some inspiration, as I think that game more so then other sandbox games made the world feel more alive. I also liked Mafia 2 wanted system, if your driving round like a crazy man the cops took notice of your car, if your on the street bashing people they noticed what your wearing. It felt realistic, same with escaping from the cops with that system. Kinda sounds like the path they are taking, I hope so.. Change cloths/car and the cops will take less notice off you.
Overall if the rumors are true and the trailer is anything to go by, R* is making great improvements to GTA which such games like GTA:SA/4, RDR and hopefully Mafia 2 helped formed.Bow down before Drippy - Lord High Lord of the Fairies
03-28-2012 #14
I have NO DOUBT calling this fake.
For starters a bigger maps with an increase of players allowed on multi-player on the consoles? Not possible.
It just sounds too much like the things WE actually want in GTA, making it seem too good to be true.
If true, ten i will be a very happy gamer!

What about the toll booths in GTAIV? You always got a one star for running them but if you were moving it wouldn't last long. It'll be the same with cops, blast past them and they'll try to give chase but by the time they're out of the traffic and after you, you're long gone.
I like it, I've ALWAYS thought the cops were too easy to evade.

Marjorie .... Thanks for the tip on Wrights' "Vital Records". I have used that
pamphlet (book), and I did get several excellent confirmations from it.
If Wright had moved his end date out about 20 years it might have been even more
valuable. One complication to this whole Samuel thing is interesting (& I wish I
knew the "personal" story behind it).
The Mother of my 2nd GGF James was Cornelia McIlvain. Her first (AFAIK) husband was
William Hopkins, who died c1790 when James was 8 or 10 yoa. The marriage is
confirmed in the Wright book. #1 husband William Hopkins died c1790 (from an Orphans
Court doc). c1792 Cornelia (McIlvain) Hopkins married a 2nd husband & guess whom she
married .... William Hopkins [I should have written "Ta Da" there :-) ].
I knew of William Hopkins #2 who was in the area at the time. Based on my scenario,
#2 was a cousin of the #1 William Hopkins. Why didn't Mr. Wright cover that one ....
I had to figure it out myself, and it took a while for it to "dawn" on me.
Thanks, Joe Lake
Your approach to evidence and proof is the best.
Hopkins is not my line so my exposure to this family was first in an
attempt to prove or disprove a connection to my David Murray whom I finally
determined was not the David (d Snow HIl) who began in the hh of Nathaniel
Hopkins. Now, as I look more closely at the location and history of the
properties of my Sussex lines, I am turning up Samuel Hopkins again.
I have nothing at this time to refute your thinking that Samuel LWT 1741 of
Sussex (in 1741he would have been north of Indian River) may have different
ancestors than the Hopins/Turner line. However, I would not write off the
Hopkins/Turner line as (1) the elder Samuel bequeathed land in Vines Neck
which is near now Dagsboro on the south side of Indian River and (2) Hampton
of Nathaniel gave land "on Indian River" (not specified whether south or
north) but even if it were south it is not unthinkable that some of the
descendants would have crossed the river. While most of my lines did remain
south of Indian River, some of them married people north of the river and/or
settled there.
Wright's *Vital Records of Kent and Sussex Counties* lists in the Lewes and
Coolspring Presbyterian Church records some entries from Buckingham which I
think is the church that was in Berlin Wor MD near where the Hopkins/Turner
line is found. In the index for Coolspring the names Ann, Archibald,
Hampton, Jean, Jenny, Jennet, John, Matthew, Samuel and William appear. If
you haven't pursued these 2 church's records, they just might be a gold mine
for you.
I will surely remember to send you anything else relevant that I find.

EDMONTON - He spent the last two years on the best team in the CFL.
But that doesnt mean Dylan Steenbergen couldnt find something better for himself.
On Tuesday, the former Montreal Alouettes offensive lineman practised with the Edmonton Eskimos for the first time since being traded to his home province over the bye week.
The Alouettes first-round draft pick in 2009 (seventh overall), Steenbergen may have been part of a two-time defending champion organization, but joining an established club also had its drawbacks.
The Lethbridge native and Calgary Dinos product hasnt had much opportunity to get onto the field so far in his career.
We dont have any information in terms of him physically playing a football game in the CFL beyond the preseason, said Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed. So what were counting on is that hes the guy that we saw in evaluation camps, hes the guy that we saw in the preseason game: a very athletic young man that is very physical.
He can pull on misdirection plays and thats something that we feel very strongly could help us at this time.
Especially on an Eskimos offence that has struggled with protection and getting the running game off the ground in their last three outings. Not to mention the loss of veteran centre Aaron Fiacconi to a torn rotator cuff.
But the Eskimos will look at Steenbergen at guard.
Regardless, the six-foot-five, 285-pounder will take all the looks he can get.
It was a great organization, great experience. They gave me all the necessary experience I needed but they had a lot of depth, Steenbergen said of his former squad. It just didnt work out, I guess. I just didnt really get that opportunity.
He wont run into the same wall in Edmonton.
I had my family behind me. Everybody was behind me at this point to come home, Steenbergen said. And possibly having that opportunity to play, there was no way I was going to turn it down.
This is a great opportunity to come in and learn, to get to play on a daily basis.
His arrival in Edmonton on the eve of the CFLs annual Battle of Alberta was just a coincidence for Steenbergen, who grew up with an allegiance to the south.
Its ultimately a dream come true to be able to come back and play for a team in my home province, said Steenbergen, who is no stranger to the history of the Eskimos. Ive talked to a few friends and family who are texting me wondering whats going on.
Of course, theyre all asking about tickets and whether Im going to be there, that sort of thing.
IN AND OUT: CB Jykine Bradley, WR Ryan Grice-Mullen and WR Prechae Rodriguez joined OL Junius Coston (knee), DE Joe Sykes (ankle) and CB Rod Williams (hamstring) on the sidelines Tuesday, while DE Greg Peach got back on the field for the first time since injuring his knee in a Week 4 win over the Calgary Stampeders.
The Eskimos top defensive lineman was only on the scout defence and didnt run with the first-team, however, and is questionable for the Labour Day Classic.

A second Impulse Response of a large concrete stairwell in an industrial shopping center.
You can deconvolve all these recordings with the original sweep file in this pack.
Happy Deconvolving!
So it's a recording of you playing a pitch sweeping tone, in a certain space... which you then use to gather acoustic data about the space in question? :]
Excellent work sir, thank you! :-)
