Only 4 English words and kinda glitchy One of the most fun side scroller 3 rd person shooters I've ever played. locked up and has to be shut down if the screen locks but reboots just fine noticed it to glitch more on some phones than others. 4 armor upgrades with 4 weapons and 3 power ups along with a coin gather item that equips. Awesome amount of zombies and difficult bosses. almost no English words and the add bar is placed half over the fire button annoying (no matter size of screen) but eventually avoidable.10 achievements with 5 lvs. GL

Model baseball players sign with Shorter
Model's Matt Gordon and Matthew Grubb signed with Shorter on Wednesday to continue their respective baseball careers at the next level.
"It's pretty nice knowing that I was lucky enough to be one of the players to sign and go play (in college)," said Gordon on Thursday. "I'm excited about playing at the next level."
The Rome-News Tribune All-Area First Team catcher and first baseman hit .465 from the plate with 12 doubles and 28 RBIs for the Blue Devils.
Gordon expects to play the same positions he played under Model head coach Brett White when he starts with Shorter.
He will pursue a major in the environmental science field.
Grubb was a Rome-News Tribune All-Area Second Team player who hit .365 for the Blue Devils.
Grubb praised Coach White for his ability to mold him over his time at Model into a college-ready athlete.
"Coach White is a real good coach," said Grubb. "He's taught me so much and has gotten me ready for playing at Shorter."
As for playing with his high school teammate, Grubb is excited to have a familiar face joining him on the team.
"It makes me feel more comfortable," said Grubb. "I'll have one of my teammates with me that I've played with since I was five or so."
The second baseman also showed appreciation for his coaches and family for pushing him and opening the opportunity to play in college.
Grubb, who wants to be an anesthesiologist notes, "This is what I've always wanted and I couldn't have done it without them."

Some data from PERCEPTIONS IN LITIGATION AND MEDIATION: LAWYERS, DEFENDANTS, PLAINTIFFS AND GENDERED PARTIES (Cambridge University Press, New York, 2009)
I want to provide some support for the claims made in my previous post, summarizing the main findings of my book Perceptions in Litigation and Mediation. Below are two of the many areas that support the "parallel worlds" theme relating to the different understandings of legal case processing and case resolution as between legal actors and lay litigants.
Chapter 2 explores and attempts to make sense of an issue fundamental to litigation in general as well as mediation in particular: What do plaintiffs want? Why plaintiffs sue, and their consequent litigation aims should have a marked impact on their objectives and experiences in litigation and litigation-linked mediations. Likewise, attorneys' objectives, approaches to their cases and conduct throughout litigation and mediation are affected by their basic understandings of what those who commence these suits want; that is, what the cases are about. Little is known about what litigants really want from the civil justice system and what they aim to achieve. Consequently we have little knowledge of whether litigants' real objectives are met by the realities of civil litigation including litigation–linked processes such as mediation.
Virtually all physician lawyers were of the strong belief that plaintiffs had sued for financial compensation alone. Even the two who mentioned that non-fiscal objectives might also have been involved put much emphasis on claimants' primary monetary aims.
The following excerpts are typical of defense physician lawyers in answering the global question, 'WHAT IN YOUR VIEW WERE THE PLAINTIFF'S AIMS IN LITIGATING?'
'My view is the issue was money, to compensate for the pain associated with the deterioration, and to compensate for lost income associated with the surgery that was necessary. SO IT WAS MONEY ALONE? I believe so.' Male attorney-50's-prescription alleged to have destroyed bone tissue, resulting in 40-year-old plaintiff undergoing hip replacement surgery-litigating several months
'To settle it. Their assumption was that this would never go to trial; that they would get money out of this beforehand. SO, YOU FEEL IT IS SOLELY AN ISSUE OF OBTAINING FINANCIAL COMPENSATION Yes, but I also think that they are of the view that if they obtain financial compensation it will make…them feel better. I think they're misguided on that.' Female attorney-30's-abdomen not left intact after surgery litigating several months
'I think in virtually all cases it's directly driven by their desire for compensation…The sole aim, you know, in most of the cases it is to be financially compensated for the wrong. And I would say that's in 99% of the cases I do, that's what plaintiffs want.' male attorney-30's-child fatality case-litigating 4 years Read More

Smoky Eggplant Soup with Red Pepper Cream
- 2 eggplant, each 1 1/2 lb.
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 yellow onions, coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups chicken stock
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs for garnish
Preheat an oven to 375°F.
Using tongs, hold each eggplant over the flame of a gas stove and turn occasionally until blackened on all sides, about 10 minutes. Alternatively, blacken the skins over a charcoal fire. Place the blackened eggplant on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender when pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Peel off the skin and reserve the flesh.
Preheat a broiler. Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the stem, seeds and ribs. Place, cut sides down, on a baking sheet and broil until blackened and blistered. Remove from the broiler and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let steam until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes, then peel off the skin. Transfer the pepper to a food processor fitted with the metal blade or to a blender and puree until very smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the pepper puree and season with cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate the red pepper cream.
In a soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the eggplant flesh and the stock, bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, until the eggplant falls apart, about 30 minutes. Using a blender and working in batches, puree the soup on high speed until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Season with salt. If the soup is too thick, add water until it is the consistency of heavy cream.
Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and spoon some red pepper cream over each serving. Garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately with any remaining red pepper cream on the side. Serves 6.

A HARTLEPOOL United fan who emigrated more than 5,000 miles away was in town to see his beloved team play a home game for the first time since he upped sticks 14 years ago.
And despite yesterday's 0-0 draw against Brentford, Trevor Mason – who is such a die-hard fan of the team he named his home in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, "Victoria Park" in homage to the team – says it was great to be back.
The 40-year-old, who was at the game with his dad Brian, 76, said he hopes for a better result this Saturday, when Pools play Chesterfield.
"It's got to be a win on Saturday – I've come all this way and need to see a goal," he said.
Trevor, who hopes his American wife Lucinda, 38, will join him at the next game, added: "It was good to go back after not seeing them for so long.
"But I can see why they are not scoring goals – if I was manager I would get a couple of good wingers, they didn't have anyone to take a man on and get that ball in the box.
"Ultimately we have got a strong defence but we are definitely missing a good winger."
Trevor moved to the USA in 1998 after falling in love with the States having spent three summers as a counsellor at a summer camp in New York.
Apart from attending a Hartlepool match at Sunderland in the FA Cup in 2004, Trevor has never seen his beloved team play since he left.
He said it had been good to see improvements at Victoria Park and that he was impressed that there was a decent crowd of more than 4,200 yesterday.
Even when he is back at home, Trevor, an electrician for the Bigelow Tea Company, keeps up with Pools' progress by watching games online and his dad types up match reports for him.
But he said: "You can't beat actually being there.
"It was a good atmosphere.
"It's a long time since I heard the shouting between the two sides of fans – you don't get that on the internet, it's a whole different experience."
Trevor, who has also brought his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter Kendall to England, said as well as missing Pools games, he also missed Cadbury's chocolate and his family, including uncles and fellow Hartlepool United fans David and Alan Mason.
Trevor, a former Brougham, Jesmond Road and High Tunstall school pupil, whose other daughters, Charlotte, 14, and Emma, 12 – also Pools fans – are back home, is staying in Yarm with his parents, Brian and Dorothy, and plans to take his wife, a children's librarian, to Edinburgh during the rest of his stay.
l Meanwhile, another familiar face was back at The Vic yesterday.
Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers was amongst the crowd to see his hometown team in their draw with Brentford.

It has been over seven years since I set foot in Italy, but the tastes, sights and sounds are still vivid in my mind. The back to back sightseeing tours and museums were exhausting, but the fresh gelato on the streets cooled the hot sun and a warm meal of pasta at the end of the day was calming and comforting. One thing that surprised me during our week long trip, however, was that the pasta didn't surprise me. I think I expected it to have such a superior taste and texture that I would never be able to go back to my "regular old" pasta in the U.S., but it was hard to tell any difference! So this is good news, because I can get authentic tasting pasta at any grocery store in the U.S. and attempt to recreate some of my favorite Italian dishes.
Pasta is a "go-to" meal for my family and we usually eat it on Sundays for what I call "Spaghetti Sunday" where my husband often helps with the cooking. Spaghetti and long noodles are my kids' favorite, but we make all different shapes of pasta to keep things interesting. One thing I like to go when we are at the grocery store is let my daughter pick any box of pasta she wants so she can get involved and then she is more likely to eat what is served at dinner. Although we deviate from the whole grain varieties from time to time when we are in the mood for a fun shape like cellentani, I make an effort to pick whole grain pastas for my family.
Whole grain pasta is a great way to include more whole grains into our diet and my family doesn't really notice any difference– perhaps because they are already accustomed to whole grain varieties. Do you eat whole grain pasta? Barilla whole grain pasta is currently available in six different shapes and and they are currently hosting a Taste and Share campaign where you can get a $1 off for trying Barilla whole grain and you can share the offer with friends.
This past weekend was my first Spaghetti Sunday meal after receiving a Taste & Share Challenge Kit and I decided to make the whole grain linguine. It is a thicker noodle than I typically buy for my kids, but still long enough for them to slurp and something a little different for mom and dad. The Challenge Kit included some lovely condiments such as olive oil and pesto, so after flipping through some of my pasta and Italian cookbooks I decided to keep it simple and make a pesto pasta dish. Since the pesto was already ready-to-go from the jar it was a breeze to make! I just made some veggies to go on the side and I had dinner on the table in about 20 minutes.
Homemade pesto is pretty simple to put together as well and follows the general rule of four parts basil , one part pine nuts, salt and pecorino romano (or Parmesan) cheese to taste, then drizzle olive oil in the food processor until it forms a thick paste-like consistency. That is my loose interpretation of the many recipes I have read, seen or tried. Spinach is also a milder alternative to basil and any nut can essentially be substituted for the pine nuts which are pricey and sometimes hard to find. When using a homemade or pre-made pesto, be sure to mix in a little of the starchy pasta water to loosen up the sauce before tossing the noodles or else you'll just get globs of pesto here and there instead of covering all of the noodles.

Call Us (212) 874-5362
Michael Lentin, the owner and creator of CitiQuiet Windows saw an opportunity to eliminate a problem that was in people's homes, living environments and offices where noise was coming in and, and really interfering with their life. His first CitiQuiet window installation was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York in a small townhouse where a friend of his actually recently had a child and their newborn didn't sleep through the night because of the noise. Thus, the parents couldn't sleep through the night. His friend called him, said, "Hey Mike, you know, you're in the window business and I know you've got a background in architecture and engineering. Can you make a soundproof window?" So, after giving it some thought and figuring it out…there was no internet at that time twenty five years ago…he put together an interior soundproof window, installed it in their NYC home, and the baby started sleeping. His friends were happy as could be and that was the birth of CitiQuiet.
"There are a lot of copycats out there, and we really don't pay much attention to them. We're a leader in the industry and we have an incredible product. I think when you are a leader and you have an incredible product like CitiQuiet, people are going to jump on the bandwagon and ride your coat tails. Unless they have a lot of engineering ability and money to put towards what we have, they'll continue to copy us but really never be able to compete."
We manufacture all our CitiQuiet windows in a one hundred thousand square foot facility, all under one roof in Long Island, New York in a town called Hop Hog. What has been assembled at CitiQuiet is a team of highly trained professionals. Ninety percent of CitiQuiet's staff have been with the company for over twenty years and for some, thirty years.
"Everybody has to understand the end product and what it's going to do for our consumer, for our client, and the peace and quiet and the serenity in life they're going to get… and they work with that attention to detail each and every time."
Testimonials from our New York Customers
"We live in Midtown Manhattan and I'd had another night of very little sleep because of the noise outside and another resident and I were discussing this problem and a third party said, "Gosh, we have these wonderful windows. I slept perfectly last night." So, we got the information, CitiQuiet Windows, and they're the best investment we have ever made."
"There was so much noise and so much dirt and so much construction, we had to do something. I mean, we run a photos studio here, and another business and we could hardly hear ourselves talk on the phone. So, we initially went for the quiet, for- to cut down on the noise and what we found out afterwards that it was really made it a lot cleaner. It was warmer, and cooler and we didn't use as much air conditioning, so … We've had them three or four- three or four years now and I don't know what we would have done without 'em."
The loss of cold air in the summer and warm air in the winter through cracks and crevices in the Window.
The process of heat transfer that involves the motion of fluid air moving towards the Window glass and through the panes. Heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
The transfer of heat from one separate surface to another.
Home Soundproofing solutions may include the installation of double pane home Windows which create greater insulating barriers. Adding features such as low-e glass also prevents the sun's heat from entering the living area or penetrating the glass in the summer, but still allows its heat to penetrate in the winter. This is a perfect example of how residential Soundproofing can start reducing energy costs. Injecting Argon or Krypton gas into the dead air space between the panes of glass further insulates the interior Windows. Another key ingredient for insulating is the manner in which the glass is fused together. In the past, the glass had metal connections from one to another, or spacers, and now the spacer is insulated with thermoplastics that eliminate seal failure and won't allow the glass to conduct cold.
To give you a free estimate and answer your questsions about our Soundproofing solutions, we just need the following information:

How about Coronado's "Zee Huis"?
Dutch for "sea house with eight bedrooms and eleven bathrooms"
Dave Rice 9 a.m., Nov. 22
"Is it balanced?" asks Chapman.
"Yes, the wine is balanced. The finish is medium-medium plus. Complexity -- is that the one I'm missing? Medium." She sips again. "Mmm. It's good. So then: moving on to initial conclusion. It's old world. Given the earthiness and the alcohol content and that it's Spain, um, it's one varietal, and three to five years."
"Temperature?" asks Chapman.
"Cool..." She begins considering her final verdict on varietal: "Tempranillo...Grenache...I don't think it's Monastrell -- not deep enough. Final conclusion: old world, Spain, 2003, I'm gonna say Rioja, and it's a blend...." She's guessing that the orange on the rim is because of Grenache and that the "stewed, cooked fruit" she detects matches with her earlier thoughts on Tempranillo.
"Quality level?" asks Chapman.
And so it goes around the table, Chapman taking notes on each taster's evaluation, prompting them when they forget to mention a required characteristic. (Nobody offers criticisms during the individual evaluations. The table policy is "No hurt feelings," but they save their disagreements for the end.) Then after all six wines have been tasted, Chapman asks for group comments on Wine Number One.
"High acid," says Krikorian. "Tart." It's a hard judgment, but there's reason for it. The fruit is still there, but it's muted, and the finish bears that cola-like character Redwine mentioned. The acid has taken the upper hand.
Chapman: "Lots of red fruit herbs spices forest floor." Someone suggests leather, and he agrees.
"2003 Rioja?" he asks, checking Redwine's assessment.
Krikorian: "Given the browning, it's either Grenache or it's more than five years old."
Chapman turns to Redwine. "You called the color deep, but that's not deep, when you compare it to the others. It's starting to lighten up, which might suggest some age."
"This could be a little older than we think," says Krikorian. And he's right: it's a '96 Reserva from Campillo.
"So I got the region right," says Redwine, satisfied.
Chapman holds up the trade book he's been using as a reference. "Doug Frost says Spanish wines are such good value, because oftentimes they release wines when they're ready to drink," holding on to them for several years after bottling.
That may be changing somewhat. The other two Tempranillos we taste are huger, riper, richer -- and much younger. "Tempranillo has behaved differently in the three wines we've had today," says Burgess, and she agrees it may be due to a shift in winemaking style, a shift that may lessen the need for extended prerelease aging. Spanish wines may be getting a little less foreign. As Krikorian puts it, "They're closer to California than to either Italy or France."

Well, we made it through the storm with only minor damage and no power for awhile. Towns all around us, just a few minutes away weren't so lucky. Lots of severe flooding, bridges out and trees down....no power and unfotunately a couple deaths due to flooding.
Lots of neighborhoods in my town were evacuated because we are right on the Mohawk River in Upstate NY and they say tomorrow it will only get worse because all this water will be heading for the rivers and streams. We got about 8 inches of rain in less than 24 hours.
All of this isn't normal for our area. We even had a couple small earthquakes over the last week causing power outages.
Well I hope everyone stayed safe and now the clean up begins. In times like this it really makes you appreciate the things we have, especially our families and friends. Prayers going out to all the families who weren't so lucky.
If anyone has contacted me regarding the items I have had up for sale on the classifieds and I haven't contacted you....this is why. I hope to get caught up with answering all my messages this week. I am sorry for the delay in contacting you. If I have missed you and you are still interested please send me a new PM and I will get to you this week for sure.
Everyone stay safe! {{{{HUGS}}}

Albright-Knox's big, bold Anselm Kiefer show opens Sunday
The Albright-Knox Art Gallery (1285 Elmwood Ave.) wants to introduce you to Anselm Kiefer.
To facilitate the meeting between Western New York's museum-going populace and one of Germany's most ambitious and successful artists, the gallery is opening "Anselm Kiefer: Beyond Landscape" on Sunday to celebrate its exhibition of a monumental new Kiefer painting.
In August, the gallery announced its purchase of Kiefer's "Der Morgenthau Plan," an 18-foot-long painting that references U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau's scuttled plan to reduce Germany to an agrarian state in the wake of World War II. The exhibition will give several Kiefer paintings – including the gallery's own similarly overwhelming piece "Die Milchstrasse" – plenty of room to breathe in the galleries of its 1905 building. It also will feature many landscapes by other artists from the gallery's collection, as well as an entire room dedicated to visitor feedback.
The show is the first major initiative from its Finnish-born director Janne Sirén, who began his tenure at the gallery in April. The exhibition will remain open for a full year. Gallery admission is $5 to $12. Call 882-8700 or visit albrightknox.org.

Vehicle crashes after hijacking
Three suspects are in custody after a hijacked car crashed.
The female victim was threatened by a man with a knife and forced from her vehicle in the Clooney Terrace area of Londonderry just after 10pm on Friday.
The PSNI said the man made off in the navy coloured Ford Fiesta and picked up two woman outside a nearby off licence before driving off at speed.
The PSNI said the car crossed the border a short time later and crashed on the road between Muff and Quigley's Point in Donegal.
"A man was arrested by Garda officers and remains in custody whilst the two females were taken to Altnagelvin Hospital for medical examination and subsequently arrested by PSNI officers," he said.
"Both remain in custody helping police with their enquiries."
The victim was not hurt but left shocked following the incident.
Police later charged two 20-year old women with aggravated vehicle taking causing damage to the vehicle.
They are due to appear at Londonderry Magistrates Court on Monday.

Worth It? A Polaroid for a New Age
Printing digital photos isn't that difficult. There are dozens of options for uploading and printing photos taken with digital cameras and, increasingly, smartphones. But for some reason, I have over a thousand photos stored on my smartphone and most of them never see the white of paper. They are mainly shared via email or through social networks. And I bet I'm not alone.
Polaroid, with the help of Lady Gaga, has introduced a product to help make printing photos as immediate as it once made the development of just-taken pictures. It's called the Polaroid GL10 instant mobile printer. (GL stands for "Gray Label," the product line Lady Gaga oversees as creative director.)
The printer currently costs $169, $20 more than the price Polaroid cited when it unveiled the product at the Consumer Electronics Show in January of this year. Polaroid, like many electronics companies, was affected by the earthquake in Japan earlier this year, says Polaroid's chief technology officer Jon Pollock. Due to the quake and other factors, the company has faced supply problems and has raised the price. Mr. Pollock says the company intends to lower the price of the printer later this year.
The lightweight GL10, which 14.5 inches long and 11 inches wide, receives data via a wireless Bluetooth connection, so you don't need to connect your phone or digital camera to the printer in order to print photos.
To test it, I first took several photos with an Android HTC Eris smartphone. I powered up the printer and turned on the Bluetooth function on the phone. Then I selected a photo on the phone, and opted to send the photo to the printer.
Within 60 seconds, the printer began to spit out a glossy, 4×3 photo. By pressing a small button on the side of the Polaroid printer, I was also able to print out a photo with the signature white Polaroid border. To return to printing photos without the border, I simply pressed the button again.
I did run into problems, though. Sending a few photos from the phone to the printer in quick succession resulted in some sort of logjam; for several minutes, nothing printed out at all, and then suddenly, the device started to print several photos of the first photo I had selected. So I ended up with three print-outs of the same photo: a bunch of dessert pies served at a July 4 party. I'm all for dessert pies, but I didn't need three photos of them. I found it's best to send data for one file at a time.
Polaroid also has introduced its own Android app for the GL10 printer. The app is free to download, and offers a variety of borders and effects that can be applied to photos.
However, I found the options to be less sophisticated than those offered by other photo-sharing apps. They might work well if you want to add to add some decorative borders and text; they don't really make your photos look amazing. Polaroid says it plans to crowd-source more ideas for the app from consumers. And you do have the option of adding effects from your favorite photo apps, and then sending photos to print.
When I tried to print a photo from within the app, I got an error message on the phone stating there wasn't enough memory. Mr. Pollock says that in the company's early tests of the product, Polaroid experienced some difficulty with the app on some Android-powered phones, but the issues had since been resolved. It's likely that the photos were too large, and would have to be scaled down in size before they could be sent from the app to the printer, a representative for Polaroid said.
One of the biggest drawbacks of the printer is that it's currently not compatible with the iPhone. Polaroid was eager to work with Apple on this, but Apple doesn't support Polaroid's Bluetooth protocol for this printer, according to Mr. Pollock. Polaroid will be introducing a device in the next 90 days that will plug into the GL10 printer and work with the Wi-Fi capabilities of the iPhone to make the two gadgets compatible. The printer works only with a special type of paper and only prints 4×3 images. The small size doesn't seem optimal for framing or storing in albums.
But on the other hand, the paper, called Zink, already has dye within it, and the printer just heats up the paper to bring the colors out. This means you don't ever need to replace ink cartridges in the printer. The paper costs $20 for a pack of 30.
So is it worth it? Despite its quirks, I liked the Polaroid GL10 Bluetooth printer, mainly for its portability and the ability to print out photos quickly from a smartphone. It's an ideal product for anyone who is into scrapbooking, wants to include photo snapshots in snail mail, or simply still relishes the feel of an analog photo in their hands. And its price point is still lower than other, larger Bluetooth-capable printers.
Polaroid also says it may produce more versions of this printer, and if it's compatible with all smartphones and prints out photos of varying sizes, it could be a must-have accessory for photo fiends.

It seems we may have to break out our tissues once again ladies…and the occasional overly sensitive guy because another Nicholas Sparks novel is getting the silver screen treatment! Yep, another one! As if we all don't bust out "The Notebook" or "Dear John" every once in a while, Relativity Media has announced that "The Cider House Rules" director Lasse Hallström will direct Sparks' adaptation of 'Safe Haven' to bring it to life on the big screen.
Sparks must have one hell of a book to movie deal because it seems all of his novels get the Hollywood screen time. I'd love to see his house. He must be bathing with dollar bills by now. Anyway, here's all the details regarding the film:
Relativity Media has closed a deal with Oscar® and DGA-nominee Lasse Hallström ("The Cider House Rules", "Dear John") to direct their upcoming film "Safe Haven", based on the latest novel from best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, announced Relativity's President of Worldwide Production Tucker Tooley. The film is scheduled to head into production this year.
Sparks' previous books have been made into such hit films as "The Notebook", "The Last Song", "Nights in Rodanthe" and "Dear John". His latest, "Safe Haven", is a gripping love story infused with suspense and discovery. When a young woman escaping her past moves to a small North Carolina town, and falls for a loving widowed father, he heals her heart, and helps her escape the danger that threatens her.
Alongside Relativity's CEO Ryan Kavanaugh and author Nicholas Sparks, the film is being produced by Temple Hill Entertainment's Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. Relativity's Tooley will serve as executive producer. The screenplay is written by Dana Stevens ("City Of Angels").

TUSCALOOSA | For the University of Alabama football team, it was the black hole of offseason questions.
Just how was the Crimson Tide going to try and fill the void left by Andre Smith, the Outland Trophy winner as the nation's top interior lineman who left a year early for the National Football League?
It turned out the answer came from nearly 700 miles away at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas, a guy who was barely recruited out of high school and played in front of roughly 500 people per game last season. Despite being part of a stellar recruiting class, he arrived early on the Capstone and received nowhere near the fanfare of the athlete he replaced.
Article Continues Below
"That's why I came here," James Carpenter said earlier this week during his first interview on campus. "I wanted the challenge, to be as good as I can."
To suggest there was the potential for overwhelming pressure on Carpenter would be like saying the ocean can be a bit damp, especially since he was taking over the high-profile left tackle spot that's generally considered the most important position on the offensive line. Consequently, he was off-limits to reporters until now, after he had a chance to effectively make the transition without being blinded by the spotlight.
But the 6-foot-5, 300-pound prototypical left tackle with long arms and fast feet only needed the spring to lock up the starting job and end any speculation that massive true freshman D.J. Fluker might be able to pull a Smith (i.e. start from day one).
"He has so much athletic ability," junior quarterback Greg McElroy said. "He's amazing in the way he runs, the way he does speed work.
"His signing this year was as big as any, by far."
It was also possibly the most unusual, if not unique. After not getting the necessary grades at Hephzibah High School in Georgia, where he hoped to someday play for the Bulldogs, Carpenter's original plan was to play for Gene Chizik at Iowa State.
Obviously, that didn't transpire with Chizik now at Auburn, but the Tide had that extra big vacancy as a lure, so when it came down to making the final decision Carpenter chose Alabama over Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Iowa State, Texas Tech, South Carolina and Oklahoma State.
"It just depends on the guy," Saban said about recruiting junior college players in general. "I think it works better for them when they have a role and they can come in and play because they only have two years. They don't have time to develop.
"In James Carpenter's case, we anticipated that (Andre Smith) would go out for the draft and we felt like it would help us even though we had some good young players who were developing, if we had a little older mature guy playing left tackle for us. James has worked really hard and (offensive line coach) Joe Pendry has done a very good job of helping him develop, and he has played well for us in the first two games. So it worked well for us, but it also worked well for him in that he had an opportunity and he's been able to develop and take advantage of it"
Alabama did most of its running behind other players against Virginia Tech, but Carpenter had the lead block on sophomore Mark Ingram's 39-yard carry around the left end. Senior Roy Upchurch's 18-yard touchdown was also to the left, as well as a 14-yard carry by Ingram.
The strategy was a little different against FIU, with Alabama primarily pounding the ball to the right in the first half, but true freshman Trent Richardson's 35-yard touchdown behind Carpenter and guard Mike Johnson helped break the game open, and two of Ingram's biggest carries, for 16 and 8 yards, were to the left as well.
Overall, despite practically having eight new starters on offense, including three on the line which was thought to be the team's biggest concern, Alabama is averaging 271.5 rushing yards per game, 507 yards of total offense and 37 points.
Some of the growing pains, though, have been a number of penalties, including two Carpenter holding penalties against Virginia Tech, and twice Alabama failed to get a first down on third-and-1 running behind Carpenter and Johnson.
There was also a botched play against FIU that resulted in a sack deep in Alabama territory due to miscommunication. On it, the Golden Panthers brought two pass rushers around Carpenter, who blocked the man in front of him, with pulling guard Barrett Jones and Ingram essentially taking the same man.
Still, the coaching staff named Carpenter one of the team's offensive players of the game, high praise for a lineman in Week 2 at this level.
"It was pretty easy this time because I got a feel for the game," Carpenter said.
Saturday against North Texas will be Carpenter's final tuneup for Southeastern Conference play, when the opposition will be bigger and tougher than anything he's faced before. But on the flip side, his initiation will also be complete, and it wouldn't be surprising to see coaches utilize his mobility more as the season progresses.
"You have to be a little careful with him," sophomore linebacker Dont'a Hightower said about facing Carpenter in practice. "He's one of the guys he wants you to go up field because he has those long arms where he can just push you right past the quarterback. You have to kind of set him up every now and then, a couple of stunts just to make him work, but he's a great athlete.
"I think he's done a real good job."

Germantown, Maryland

- Category: Attorney Generals
Hughesnet Previously Known As DirecWay Hughesnet issues..this can't be legal! Please read! Germantown Maryland
I'm not submitting the attachments I refer too, because it does have personal information on it.
ATTN: Customer Service / Billing / Complaints
11717 Exploration Lane
Germantown, Maryland 20876
To Whom It May Concern,
We upgraded our system in December of 2008. I started working out of a home office and needed a better Internet service than the one we were receiving for just our home. I called and discussed with a salesperson from Hughesnet what I could do to make this happen. They suggested an upgrade which they promised would give us faster speeds and we would not fall under "FAP" your fair access policy. We were paying $121.24 a month for service and with the upgrade we would be paying $189 a month. Since then we have had nothing but problems with our service.
We have spoken to all of your tech support all the way up through your Engineers. We would told numerous times that we would receive a phone call with the solution to our problem. We would wait for the call and would never receive one. We would call back and be told they again they would call in two days. Again no calls. My wife was even told at one time by one of your techs that he would show her how to point her dish because he was tired of her calling. We went away for six days and came home to the same problem with our service. When we called to ask about the solution that your Engineers were working on, we were told that they had assumed the problem was fixed, since we hadn't called them in six days so YOU had cancelled our complaint. Unbelievable! I was even told by one of your tech support that we had good service at 3:00 a.m. in the morning and that I should try conducting my business then! I then asked to speak to billing to demand a discount for the horrific service we had been receiving. They gave us a discount as you will see in the attached bills. We decided to call to tell them that we wanted to be downgraded to the most basic amount since we were having so much trouble and that we would rather pay $99.00 a month than to have to buy out our contract, which would be more expensive. We were told that our service would be downgraded and to unplug our Hughesnet 7000S for one hour and then reboot. We did that. We still did not have service.
We have had to use other means to access the Internet, but we figured at least the frustration we had suffered since December with your company would be over even though we would be paying $99.00 a month until our contract was up in June was worth it. That must prove to you how frustrating this experience with your company has been.
Well lo and behold Hughesnet had to go and mess up our little bit of tranquility in our rural area. Today we received a bill from you from Hughes Credit Department. The letter says that you were unable to process our monthly payment of $679.51!! We were more than surprised to find that we owed $679.51 when our last bill was a credit of -$20.49 (see attached). We then called the number listed on the paper only to spend 1 hour and 45 minutes speaking with 3 different people. We were told that our account had been terminated early. I asked by whom? Then I was put on hold to find out who had terminated our service to find out that Hughesnet terminated our contract because I hadn't downgraded our system properly. I was told to unplug the Hughesnet 7000S for one hour and plug it back in. That is exactly what I did. We had the same service that we had before that, NONE.
After all the months of frustrations and run arounds why in the world would I even consider that anything was different? After explaining all of this to the credit department and refusing to pay $679.51 I was told that I could send you $700.00 to reinstate our service and Hughesnet would reimburse us. Well I may live in the country, but I wasn't born yesterday. I have received so many promises from Hughesnet that I would rather go to small claims court than trust you to reimburse me $700.00! I was told that your system wouldn't allow me to pay the $357.00 that I said I would pay for the few months service we have left on our contract and $20.00 monthly for equipment. I was left with the knowledge that I need to pay you $700.00 to reinstate my account that YOU cancelled.
Let's see Hughesnet cancelled our complaint about our service and Hughesnet cancelled our service and is now demanding $700.00 to have our service reinstated that we never cancelled. At no point in time did you not receive our payment. It is documented in the attached as proof. I have many more at home as proof also if needed.
I don't understand how a business could be run this way. We have been loyal customers. We have never missed a payment with you, since you were DirecWay. The sad thing is you had an exemplary paying customer and you have chosen to treat us like this. Coming from the marketing world I know how important it is to have customers of this caliber in today's economic times.
I don't believe that I will receive a reply from you so I am also sending this email also on to those who I think may be able to help. I am sending it to the Better Business Bureau, FTC, theconsumerist.com, and Hughes Network Systems - Hughesnet, Pradman Kaul President and CEO Phone: 310-428-5500 Fax: 310-428-1868

Is your unwanted bike just taking up space? Trade it in at Halfords' Burgess Hill store and your old one could change a life in Africa as well as getting 10 per cent off a new one.
Britain's biggest bike retailer is collecting second-hand bikes at branches across the country until next Monday.
Suitable donated bikes will be sent to Africa as part of Halfords' partnership with the charity Re~Cycle. Millions of unused bikes go to waste in sheds and garages in the UK, but in Africa they can be life-changing, helping health workers reach communities in need, children get to school and farmers transport goods to market.
Re~Cycle not only transports bikes to Africa, but also teaches local people how to repair and maintain the cycles, providing employment and improving lives in a sustainable way.
Bikes most in demand by Re~Cycle are sturdy mountain bikes for teenagers and adults. However all bikes that are in a reasonable condition, including kids' bikes, will be accepted by Halfords provided they are complete with no cracks in the frame and less than 25 per cent rust.
More information on the trade-in event is available at www.halfords.com/re-cycle.

Immortals exist in Louisiana! And I can prove it.
Exhibit A: This photo, taken on Bourbon Street. We see an innocent bystander in the middle, accosted by what must be a drunken Libation Demoness swilling demon brew on the left—and a mesmerizingly gorgeous vampire on the right, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Lothaire the Enemy of Old (or perhaps cover model sensation Paul Marron).
Note that the two beings on the sides are the only ones with changeable eyes. Clearly, the unfortunate guy in the middle is terrified, imitating what we can only surmise is an ancient vampiric "gang signal" in an attempt to placate his captors and escape being drained.
My understanding is that this poor bystander made it off Bourbon Street unscathed physically, but deeply emotionally scarred....
Seriously, though, I've often been asked why I chose to set so many of the Immortals After Dark tales in the French Quarter. And on a recent bus tour to promote my latest release, Lothaire, Paul Marron and I were able to snap this picture—which demonstrates exactly why the Quarter is an ideal place for Loreans to hang out.
An immortal truly can blend in with the crowd. Horns? No problem! Full Sorceri regalia?
Would earn a sorceress many, many beads.
Plus, Bourbon Street offers mortals an array of mind-bending cocktails to choose from (some of which would give even Hag a run for her money). After imbibing one Hand Grenade®, a human could behold winged Furies and find nothing amiss (or so I've, uh, heard).
Many of the factions—witches, Valkyries, and certain demonarchies—are very sociable creatures; if they were unable to let off steam by bar hopping in the Quarter, well, I can only imagine the havoc they'd wreak in the rest of the mortal world. Therefore, it could be argued that every time romance readers go out on Bourbon Street in costume—with fangs, horns, or pointed ears—acting as a beard for immortals, they're actually . . . saving lives.

Two groups concerned about the potential for voter fraud in Minnesota elections are trying to get people to sign a petition that calls for a photo ID requirement at the polls in city elections.
The Minnesota Voters Alliance and Citizens for a Better Minneapolis will kick off a petition drive Tuesday evening at Painter Park in Minneapolis.
The groups would like to see a photo ID requirement for all elections in Minnesota, but they are starting with a push in the state's three biggest cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.
Andy Cilek, who is helping organize the petition drive, said petitions have started in St. Paul and Duluth. The event Tuesday, which features Republican Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer, a former secretary of state, will kick off the effort in Minneapolis.
"We feel it should be a statewide issue, but the Legislature keeps throwing it under the table," Cilek said.
Opponents of requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls are concerned that the elderly and the poor would be disenfranchised by the rule because those groups are less likely to have a valid ID.
Cilek said the groups disagree with that assessment, and said that their plan would make photo IDs available to those who couldn't afford them. Absentee voting would also not change, he said.
As soon as organizers feel there are enough signatures, they will approach city officials with the petitions, Cilek said.
So far, Cilek said he's been surprised that many people signing the petition thought there was already a photo ID requirement to vote.
"Part of what we're trying to do is raise awareness as well," he said.

During the season after Easter, we read a lot of amazing stories about the appearance of Jesus to the disciples and others. The appearance of the Risen Lord made the disciples courageous fishers of men. Our challenge during this Easter season is to have the same experience of Easter joy that the disciples had. How do we prepare for this?
Carrollton Utilities encourages residents to always call 811 a few days before digging
April marks the sixth annual National Safe Digging Month, reminding Carrollton Utilities customers to always call 811 two business days before any digging project. National Safe Digging Month is formally recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate and has traditionally earned the support from nearly every state governor across the country.
April is child abuse awareness month nationwide. Last year in Carroll County there were 44 cases of physical abuse and at risk of physical abuse on children that were assessed or investigated. There were 207 cases of neglect or children at risk of harm investigated or assessed in Carroll County. Lastly, there were 15 cases of children who were sexually abused or at risk of sexual abuse in Carroll County.

On a cool Thursday evening at Panther Field, the home team kept things exciting until the very end. After building a three-run lead, the Panthers stumbled in the seventh, allowing the visiting St. Henry Crusaders to tie the game. But the Panthers did not fall, scoring in the bottom of the eighth off a line drive down the third baseline by Zakk Hicks to win the game, 8-7.
The Carroll County Panthers are pleased to announce that junior Tre Burgin is ranked No. 8 in Class A Track and Field for pole vault in the first official weeks rankings posted by kytrackxc.com, head coach Joe Creager anounced.
Burgin has only been able to vault once this weather shortened season, but he acheieve a personal best of 8 feet at Henry County. He looks to improve on his previous vault this week when the Panthers are in action at Henry County for the Wildcat Relays on Thursday.

Chelsea, Mich., three-star running back Berkley Edwards took his third official visit of the process this past weekend. After trips to Minnesota and Cal, Edwards made his way down to Iowa to see what the Hawkeyes had to offer.
"Iowa was a great visit," Edwards said. "I had been there one time early in the summer for a camp and I had seen the field and everything. I wasn't really trying to paying attention to the football team so much as watching the coaching staff and what the players said about the coaching staff."
Iowa dropped Saturday's contest to Penn State by a final of 38-14. Edwards said the score did not affect his thoughts on the Hawkeyes and he was able to see they needed help at the running back position. He comes out of the visit with a better feel for Iowa's program.
Article Continues Below
"It clarified more things for me," Edwards confirmed. "What I was really looking forward to was talking with the players and figuring out how they like the coaching staff. I got to sit down with players on a couple occasions and ask them what was their thoughts on the coaching staff and how they do things."
Edwards' player host was freshman wide receiver Tevaun Smith, and he also spent time talking with state of Michigan natives Kevonte Martin-Manley and Ruben Lile. Not only was he able to glean insight on the football program from those players, but he said they discussed the academic aspects of the school as well.
An official visit to Minnesota was taken last month, and one to Cal earlier in October. Now that he has seen those three schools, Edwards plans to sit back and consider his options.
"My season still is going, so I still have to sit down and talk with my parents about what we saw, what we liked, what we didn't like and compare each school," Edwards said.
"I'm just going to wait and let things develop. I have to send my tapes out to a couple more schools - LSU and Alabama. They want to see tape of my first four games so I am getting that out tomorrow or Friday."
Chelsea High had to win their final six games of the season to earn a berth in the Michigan state playoffs. Edwards capped off Chelsea's 6-3 regular season record by rushing for 245 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-14 win last Friday to propel his team into the post-season.

Classic Basketball Style from 69' to Now
Adidas Originals Superstar 2 NBA 2010
Adidas Original Superstars first graced the feet of basketball players back in 1969. They were the first low-top basketball sneaker to feature an all-leather upper and a rubber shell toe. Staying true to their heritage, this year's Original Superstar 2 designed for the 2010 NBA season is about as classic as sneakers get while featuring some prime for summer (think 4th of July) colors. Ok so they also happen to match the NBA logo as well, but that's just coincidence. Comfortable and simple, there's a reason these kicks have been worn by athletes and style seekers alike for over 40 years. Unfortunately though, it's not because wearing them will give you the ups of Dr. Jay.

ST's Portland updates x86 compilers for Cuda
6 comments
LONDON – C/C++ compilers from Portland Group have been updated to let Cuda developers target standard servers based on microprocessors from Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
The Portland Group (Portland, Ore.) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of of European chip company STMicroelectronics NV. Cuda is a parallel computing architecture from Nvidia Corp. that harnesses Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) to do general purposes computing. The Cuda C/C++ for x86 compilers were developed by Portland in cooperation with Nvidia.
With the Cuda C/C++ compilers developers can use the Cuda parallel programming model to optimize the performance of their code, while targeting servers and clusters with or without Nvidia GPUs.
When run on x86-based systems, Portland Cuda C/C++ applications perform parallel execution by using the multiple processor cores, and by using Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) Extensions (SSE), including the new AVX instructions available on the latest generation of x86-compatible CPUs from Intel and AMD.
Portland said it would roll out the x86 Cuda C/C++ compilers in three phases. Phase 1, available now, demonstrates the capabilities of the technology and allows developers to begin working with the compilers. Phase 2, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011, will include performance optimizations intended to extract maximum performance of Cuda programs running on the x86 target platform. Phase 3, planned for mid-2012, will include support for the Portland Unified Binary technology — the ability to run one executable on both CPUs and GPUs.
"It's another important element in our ongoing strategy of providing HPC programmers with a full range of options for optimizing compute-intensive applications and leveraging the latest technical innovations from AMD, Intel and Nvidia," said Douglas Miles, a director at The Portland Group, in a statement.
"Cuda is the world's pre-eminent parallel programming model, supporting a range of open standards, architectures and programming languages," said Sanford Russell, director of Cuda marketing at Nvidia, in the same statement. "Now for the first time, developers can run their Cuda apps on any x86 clusters."

Loyd leads No. 4 Notre Dame past Georgia Tech 71-61
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA (AP) - Jewell Loyd scored 31 points and No. 4 Notre Dame survived a scare to beat Georgia Tech 71-61 for its 11th straight win on Thursday night.
The Irish (25-2, 12-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 34-33 at halftime and the final margin was the only double-digit lead of the game. The score was tied at 51 with 11 minutes remaining.
Notre Dame, which protected its hold on first in the ACC, led only 58-56 before a basket by Lindsay Allen and a 3 from Loyd stretched the advantage to seven.
Georgia Tech (14-13, 4-9) has lost four straight and five of six.
The game featured two of the ACC's top three scorers. Loyd, first in the conference with 20.7 points per game, had 23 points in the second half.
Zaire O'Neil led Georgia Tech with 20 points. Kaela Davis, third in the ACC with 20.2 points per game, added 19 points.

The Sensex and the Nifty rallied on the last day of the quarter to post their first weekly rise in six, as lenders gained after the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) surprise bond purchases were seen helping inject liquidity into the sector.
The Sensex and the Nifty rallied on the last day of the quarter to post their first weekly rise in six, as lenders gained after the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) surprise bond purchases were seen helping inject liquidity into the sector.
Banks also benefited from portfolio management as Friday also marked the end of the fiscal year.
Including Friday's gains, the banking sector surged 28 percent for the quarter, making it one of the top performing sectors from January to March.
The RBI stepped in on Friday to buy up to 100 billion rupees of bonds through open market operations on Friday, in what was a surprise move.
"Bond yields are down on OMOs, which of course is helping the banking stocks," said Sandeep J. Shah, CEO of Sampriti Capital.
"RBI will continue to help in (the) future if liquidity is tight or bond yields run away"
The main 30-share BSE index surged 2 percent to 17,404.20 points, its biggest daily gain since March 9. The 50-share NSE index rose 2.3 percent.
For the quarter, the SENSEX index rose 12.6 percent, slightly outperforming the MSCI Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan.
Still, despite the strong gains in the last day of the quarter, they reflect what has been a volatile March.
The budget for fiscal 2012/13 disappointed investors, with higher-than-borrowing plans raising fears that the central bank would have to delay interest rate cuts.
This week, markets were hit by fears the government would impose taxes on foreign investors, who have bought a net of 460 billion rupees so far in 2012, with unclear comments from Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Friday further muddling the picture.
A Reuters poll conducted over the past week showed investors still expect the Sensex to end the year at 19,500 points, for a gain of 26 percent for calendar 2012, but respondents expressed their growing worries.
"The markets would be volatile in the short term as uncertainties from global and domestic front are emerging in bits and pieces at regular intervals," said Madhumita Ghosh at Unicon Securities.
Among gainers on Friday, ICICI Bank
Technology outsourcing stocks recovered from steep losses in the previous session after the U.S. Consulate in Chennai denied local market reports of a hike in the cost of H-1B visa fees.
The gains helped boost a technology sector that has struggled in the past quarter due to worries over earnings, with the sub-index gaining about 6 percent to become one of the laggards in the past three months, along with the oil and gas sector.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
what is a tickler? and what if it says in the probate tickles, TCL02-CLERK'S AUDIT OF INVENTORY DUE 90 due date, 12/23/2013, what does that mean in probate? Thank you
Asked on 11/13/13, 5:18 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Barry Stein De Cardenas, Freixas, Stein & Zachary
It means the accounting was not filed, most likely, for last year. The "Tickle" in all likelihood is for the clerk's audit division to review the file in 90 days as of 12/23/13 to make sure it is filed. if not, a show cause order will likely be issued against the personal representative and the attorney.

PHOENIX — The SaberCats had to go to their backup quarterback in Saturday's game against the unbeaten Arizona Rattlers.
And while rookie Nathan Stanley, pressed into service after the first quarter, rallied the SaberCats, they came up just short in a 51-42 loss.
Stanley, after a shaky 6-of-15 start, hit Rod Harper on a 19-yard TD pass with 6:00 left to bring San Jose (7-4) to within 44-42 after the SaberCats were down by 16. Arizona responded with a touchdown, and Stanley was intercepted with 33 seconds left to end the comeback and clinch the West division title.
"(I) kind of struggled there at the beginning, it was hard to get into a rhythm, but I felt like it was just a too little too late," Stanley said after finishing 11 of 23 for 146 yards, three TDs and two interceptions. "I have to be better prepared, I have to be able to start off early."
Stanley started two games early this season after starter Russ Michna suffered a concussion, and the rookie threw for 11 touchdowns as the SaberCats went 1-1.
Coach Darren Arbet said Michna suffered an "upper body" injury late in the first quarter and was to undergo X-rays.
"They are the best team in the league, and they have been the best team in this league for three years," Arbet said. "We had won five in a row. It was a great measuring stick, great film to go back home and teach the guys off of, have a good week and get ready for L.A. "
The Rattlers (11-0) started backup Jason Murrietta, who was intercepted twice, but brought in league-leading passer Nick Davila in the second half, sparking Arizona before 12,094 at the US Airways Center. Davila did not practice with Arizona all week, staying in Southern California with his father, who died Friday. Davila entered after San Jose's Simeon Castille tied the game at 21 on an interception on the first play of the third quarter.
Davila then drove the Rattlers to the go-ahead score. On the next possession, Cliff Dukes knocked the ball out of Stanley's hand in the end zone and tackled him for a safety. Arizona went up 37-21 three plays later with 6:52 left in the quarter.
Still, the SaberCats were in it late after Jason Stewart recovered a Rattlers fumble with 6:52 remaining at the Arizona 19. Down by nine, Stanley drove San Jose in the final minute to the Arizona 13 but on second down, threw high in the end zone, and Arizona's Jeremy Kellem caught the ball off the net.
Los Angeles (2-8) at SaberCats (7-4), 7:30 p.m. No TV

GREELEY, Colo. – A Weld County man found a live mortar shell from the Korean War era among his grandfather's possessions.
A bomb squad took the shell and detonated it at an undisclosed site.
The sheriff's department says the grandson, whose name wasn't released, discovered the shell on Friday in a home in the Greeley area.
Authorities didn't say whether the grandfather was still alive or how he came to have the shell.
The grandson's brother, an active-duty serviceman, thought the shell might be live and should be destroyed, so the grandson drove to the Greeley Police Department to report what he had found.

Sony Electronics acquires Convergent Media Systems
Post a comment
CAMBRIDGE, UK Sony Electronics announced the acquisition of Convergent Media Systems, the digital signage and content distribution systems company will be integrated as a subsidiary into Sony Electronics' broadcast and professional products business.
According to John Scarcella, president of Sony's Broadcast and Business Solutions Company, the acquisition of Convergent is a "key building block" of Sony's worldwide business-to-business strategy to accelerate its transformation into a solutions-focused organization.
Sony will leverage Convergent's experience and resources to provide end-to-end systems solutions and managed services in both new and existing professional markets.
"Convergent possesses skills that are necessary for success in the solutions business, adding another layer to our already strong field team," Scarcella said. "Our customers expect a 'one-stop' source when making purchasing decisions for systems solutions.
Now with Convergent, we can install and integrate the best technology available together with providing content creation, monitoring and distribution services. As a result, our sales people can go to a customer and more confidently offer a comprehensive proposal.
It makes the difference between simply reacting to an opportunity versus pro-actively selling an end-to-end solution."
The addition of Convergent's resources - including its approximately 150 full-time employees in North America, its extensive network of field service affiliates, and a state-of-the-art network operations center will support Sony's sales and marketing efforts for its key technologies.
These include 4K digital cinema system installation and content distribution, professional displays and digital signage, remote monitoring and system diagnostics.
The Convergent acquisition is also expected to strengthen Sony's competitive position in new areas of business for Sony such as providing products and services to corporate, education and government markets, where Convergent already reaches more than one million people.

text: A group of miners who become respected (and collected) artists? Sounds like the plot of a short story—but this totally true tale forms the basis of Lee Hall's acclaimed play The Pitmen Painters. The author of Billy Elliot charts the rise of a small group of 1930s "pitmen" in Newcastle whose after-hours art appreciation class inspired them to begin painting scenes from their lives. The painting were so good, the London art world sat up and took notice! Click through our photo gallery (and watch our video preview) to get a feel for this exciting play, which opens on September 30 at Manhattan Theatre club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Clay Maxwell is a smart, quick-witted, sex-driven manwhore with the good looks to match. Plenty of women have shared his bed, but only one has ever been constant: Andrea.
Their rules were simple. When they were together, it was just the two of them. When they were apart, anything was fair game. And it worked. For 10 years. But one of them has changed the game....
Clay must decide if his player ways are worth losing the one girl who has always been there.
©2016 K. A. Linde (P)2016 Audible, Inc.
"Clay is HOT and BAD in the best way possible, you won't be able to put it down! I literally was begging for more!" (A. L. Jackson, New York Times best-selling author)
My first K. A. Linde story, and I really enjoyed it! I haven't listened to the other audios in the series, but this was a great stand alone. I didn't feel lost or if I was missing any background story. The details provided were enough for me to fully enjoy this story.
Some Spoilers;
I really liked KAL's writing style, it's original, and I loved this story is mainly told from Clay's POV. She did a great job creating a plot around two characters who have an unconventional relationship, and builds lots of drama and angst around their rocky journey to their HEA. I liked how Clay's character got a wake call when Andrea ends their relationship. She wanted more, and he was to scared to be in an exclusive committed relationship. He didn't know what he had until it was gone, but he was determine to prove he could be the man Andrea wanted and needed. Their HEA was all the sweeter after everything these two went through.
Joe Arden delivered a stellar performance! I loved how he portrayed Clay! I enjoyed Andi Arndt's performance as well, even if we had to wait till the end to hear her.
Struck From the Record was a fun story, with a great mix of drama, angst, lots of steamy chemistry, and hot sex scenes. I will be keeping my eye out for more stories by K.A. Linde. Another fantastic KU/whispersync deal!
"Loved It"
Clay is not as crazy as I thought he was. But wish I heard from Andrea more. she seemed really self absorbed. Great book
"KAL - THE QUEEN OF ANGST, ROCKY RIDES & EPIC HEA's"
Clay Maxwell thought he had it so good... he was handsome, charismatic, sexy, successful and a renowned Batchelor Playboy plus he had a 'friends with benefits' relationship with a female friend he'd known forever. He'd known Andrea since they were young and now they liked to play a very different game.... sex with no strings, no expectations and no rules. He thought things between them were going great but one night Andrea called then changed the rules of their game which had some disastrous shocking consequences - both physically painful ones and mentally challenging ones too. The shock changed Andrea.... suddenly she wanted more - but they weren't just on different pages... they were reading quite different books altogether and manwhore Clay Maxwell didn't want to change a thing. However, his life without Andrea in it, turned out to be a cold and lonely place.
Okay he was a real dick to begin with but Clay's slow realizations and subsequent character development was a pleasure to witness as he transformed himself into someone he never thought he'd be... a loving husband. There was a lot of angst, heartache, passion and sex along the way but these two loveable characters fell in love with each other when they were still kids but never ever realized it. It took quite a few shocks, soul-searching, misunderstandings, touching scenes and hurdles to overcome before they would both finally get on the same page.... and what they had at the end of the book was so worth all their struggles.
Worth a credit? Yes, another well written enjoyable and addictive listen from K.A. Linde, told from Clay's POV until the Epilogue, good secondary cast - including updates of Liz and Brady's relationship. Andrea was a strong independent heroine who knew what she wanted and wouldn't settle and Clay was a complex hero who lived his life as the second best son - and they were both vulnerable. K.A.L. put a lot of emotional struggles into this book but there was also humor, sizzles and romance too. Easily a stand alone listen and a great addition to the Record series.
"I Really Wanted to Love this Book, BUT I Didn't Even Like It"
I really wanted to love this book because I loved, loved, loved the first 3 books on this series but I didn't like this book.
I think it's because I didn't like the heroine when she was introduced in the first 3 books and this book didn't really do much of anything to redeem her character. I found myself hoping the hero would find love with anyone but her. I was disappointed.
But it was good to catch up with some of the other characters like Liz and Brady.
"Good read"
This book was not as good as the previous ones. It was still a decent read. Clay and Andrea's story was a little boring to me however it was interesting to have the characters from the previous book in this one. The ending was great and probably the best part.
"Weak link in relatably good series"
Disappointing performance. Male narrator sounded drunk most of the time. Continuity errors were bothersome. Is Marilyn Maxwell a chemistry or law professor?
BORED TO DEATH😪😪 storyline worst EVER!!! dull . Characters were boring dumb relationship and stupid plan 10 years open relationship come on
This was a great book! The characters are all likable. The story is genuine and quick moving with enough drama to keep you interested and the narrator(s) are great! I was t a huge fan of the "third person POV", but it didn't bother me enough to give it less than 5 stars.
Definitely worth a credit

Great charging stand if you Blackberry has charging contacts on the back.
I purchased this charging stand so I don't have to stress the micro USB charge connector on my Bold 9650. I just drop it in and it displays the clock while charging. This is just the charge base you must supply your own charger, I am using the one that came with the phone.
I have been using it for over a month now with no problems.

Works great!
I keep my BB in the charger all the time. The pod keeps it upright so it's easy to read, easy to grab. Very handy.

Maintains battery life while using energy intensive apps
Light indicating unit plugged in is a little bright at night though I understand it's purpose in indicating power present to device.

4.5 Million Without Power
Hurricane Irene has knocked out power to more than 4.5 million homes and businesses along its path. More than 1.3 million were in Virginia and North Carolina, while New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania each had more than a third of a million customers in the dark. Delaware, Maryland, and the nation's capital had about 750,000 outages. In New York City and suburban Westchester County, more than 65,000 were without power; there were zero outages so far in Manhattan and 25,000 blackouts in Queens.
