Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: buckworks
My "fairly low end" was politically correct business-speak for "CHEAP!!" :) Thanks for the quick reply, I'll check out the Equaia site. They must have hired Accenture to help them come up with an easy to remember, meaningful name... ;)
In the mail order biz, they would be considered a lower end package, but so would most systems targeted at below 500 - 1000 orders per day. I would expect them to be very strong on the back-end fulfillment, list management, etc. side of things. No idea how well they do with web integration. If you actually go through a demo or purchase the product, by all means post here and let us know what you think!
We could not get the UPS to work on our system. They did not tell us up front, but the executable that supported the new UPS integration wasn't available for about two weeks after we bought the package. So we had to wait for them to release the new executable. Which did not work after they did release it. Support was working on the problem, but we were nearing the end of our 30 day money back guarantee. We had no choice but to send the package back. I felt that was our only leverage as a customer. Since you pay everything up front, you have no recourse if something breaks once your 30 days are up. It appears as though they have the corner on the market for this type of software.
A few other comments. The back-end database was built with FoxPro. I suppose it's stable, but wouldn't be my first choice.
They push SiteLink (their e-commerce piece) I wasn't too impressed with the demo sites they had out their. Plus it ran on NT and I would rather stick with Linux for our web server.
The order taking screens looked very good. Probably minimal training if you have a bunch of agents taking calls.
Back to the drawing board...
Just get a custom-built job. I would imagine with the IT market in its current state you can get hold of some very competent developers at knock-down prices. It'll probably still cost a shade more than a packaged solution, but if you get exactly what you need, thats usually worth the premium in the long term
I think that is the path we are going to go down. LinkPoint will sell us the COM object so the credit card end will be ok. UPS requires that you ship 30 packages a day with them before they will hand over their code. So until we reach that we'll have to work with the WorldShip software.
I've already contacted a developer to help me work on it. The one big factor of course was that MOM was supposed to save me time. I didn't see that happening.
I think they've since put us on a new server. Things seem to be ok now. Miva is in general slow from what I've seen. I have it on the list to review The Exchange Project sometime next year after we get the order fulfillment piece finished. If you like PHP, Exchange Project looks pretty nice.

Do you want to enjoy the benefits of formal verification without having to become an expert? A newly archived Cadence webinar shows how you can do just that, using assertion-based verification IP (ABVIP) that supports both formal and dynamic verification of systems-on-chip using the ARM ACE protocol.
The webinar is titled "ACE Assertion-Based Dynamic, Formal, and Metric-Driven Verification Techniques with ABVIP." It shows how ABVIP fits into the protocol compliance flow, how it includes support for assertion-driven simulation, how the debug interface works, and how to use ACE ABVIP together with Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) ACE UVC components.
Joe Hupcey III, product managing director, began the webinar by noting that many engineers are wary of formal and assertion-based techniques. They don't want to learn an assertion language, they think formal tools require experts, and verification leads have trouble showing the value of assertion-based verification (ABV) in the context of a full project. "You want to quickly install, configure, and verify a standard protocol and move on," he said.
Cadence provides ACE protocol verification as a "formal app" on top of the Cadence Incisive Formal Verifier or Incisive Enterprise Verifier. As described in another recent webinar, a "formal app" meets these criteria:
Joerg Mueller, staff solutions engineer, showed how ABVIP works with a protocol compliance flow. ABVIP provides pre-validated interface properties for validation of interface protocols. You instantiate the ABVIP and connect it to the device under test (DUT) interface. The ABVIP then provides checks and constraints for protocol compliance, and supports other functionality, such as white box assertions or functional assertions inside the DUT.
Coherent Verification IP
ACE stands for AMBA 4 AXI Coherency Extensions. It enables full cache coherency between processors, which is essential for multi-core SoCs. Cadence ACE ABVIP includes these features:
Support for assertion-driven simulation is a key feature. In this use model, simulations are based purely on properties, or constraints. This allows environment visualization and deep bug hunting.
Mueller showed how to instantiate ABVIP for both masters and slaves, and noted that the ABVIP automatically sets up assertions and constraints correctly by instantiation. He discussed debugging using the SimVision interface, and showed screen shots of the ACE waveform layout, transaction-level debugging, signal-level debugging, and ACE transaction tables. The tables, which work for any protocol that uses pipeline transactions, list transactions in progress and also show transaction details and status.
Joining Formal and Simulation
Next, Mueller showed how to run a UVC and ABVIP in concert, using the same verification plan and generating metrics for both simulation and formal verification. Basically, you instantiate the ABVIP with UVC, create a "passive" test, and replay all formal witness traces in the passive UVM environment. This yields information about UVM scoreboard failures, UVM covergroups, and simulation code coverage. You can bring metrics back into the Incisive Enterprise Manager and translate the formal metrics into simulation metrics.
Mueller presented a customer case study that was an early version of an ACE-based design. It used 7 ABVIPs and 7 formal scoreboards. Designers found 22 assertion failures. In one week, they found three critical issues, including one that could have been found only by formal verification.
Mueller concluded with a demo that showed how to configure and run ABVIP, verify protocol compliance, use assertion-driven simulation, and use protocol-aware debugging. And you don't need a PhD in formal verification, or a knowledge of any assertion language, to follow it.

Players Add Mental Toughness At IMG
For the last few months, there has been a serious amount of football talent walking around IMG Academy, as many of the nation's best college players have been calling the Bradenton, Fla. facility home as they prepare for April's NFL draft.
Projected first rounders such as Bjoern Werner (Florida State), Eric Reid (LSU), Manti Te'o (Notre Dame) Tyler Eifert (Notre Dame) and Justin Hunter (Tennessee) are just a few of the many gifted players who have been training with the IMG Academy staff.
While speed training and position training for maximum performance at the NFL Combine and respective pro days are two of the major areas of focus during the time spent at IMG Academy, as well as the vision training, it's the mental training and work with Dr. Angus Mugford and his colleague Josh Lifrak that may be the most important dynamic of all.
"[Seattle Seahawks quarterback] Russell Wilson is a great story from last year," Dr. Mugford said. "[Washington Redskins running back] Alfred Morris is another one. They've enjoyed tremendous success at the next level. They are testaments to effectively navigating the transition process – what we call growth mindset. Their attitudes towards learning, competition and embracing pressure…There are things outside of their control that contributed to their success, but their attitude, concentration and effort has helped them at the next level, and that has as much to do about their mentality, as it does their physical gifts."
"(Carolina Panthers linebacker) Luke Kuechly is another guy that absolutely fits this mold," Mugford continued. "Those guys were unbelievable in the training environment and it's awesome to see how that translates. They were in search of every aspect they could improve and get better. That's part of being a professional athlete."
When the athletes hit IMG Academy field to train, they hear Mugford and his staff's voices in their ears. Sometimes they hear Mugford and his staff because they're standing there reminding them how to stay focused on the controllable as they go through their practice reps.
Every other day, Mugford and his guys are on the field, and they also get an hour a week with the Draft prospects in a classroom setting as well. Areas of focus include: running the 40-yard dash; interviewing with NFL teams; and scoring well on the Wonderlic test.
Players like the guys mentioned and others, including former Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones, and Wisconsin running back Montee Ball, are big believers in the mental preparation IMG Academy provides after seeing how it benefitted so many from the IMG Academy 2012 NFL Draft class.
"Having come to IMG Academy recovering from an injury, one of the things that benefited me the most was visualization," Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones said. "I really had the opportunity to perfect and implement visualization so that I could gain some of the same benefits as the guys who were actually able to go through some of the training and drills that I was unable to. I also felt the mental conditioning staff prepared me really well to face the Wonderlic test at the Combine. Through practice and repetition, I was able to get very comfortable with the test."
Mugford and his staff stress to the guys that they can only focus on one thing at a time. For instance, in the 40-yard dash, don't focus on running a 4.5. Focus on the steps you need to do to run that time. Focus on the process.
"It's the same thing with a player thinking about winning going into the game," Mugford said. "Everyone wants to win. It's the players that focus on how to win and not winning who are going to be more successful."
The NFL Combine is not the ideal setting for maximum performance results. The athletes are in a foreign setting, with their meal and sleep schedules seriously disrupted. The pressure and tension in the Indianapolis air can be cut with a knife.
Mugford works with the guys on staying aware of what's really important. He reminds them to visualize success. The staff also teaches the guys how to relax their minds. At IMG Academy, players go through Combine drills and tests while the staff tries to create distractions in the background.
"We want the player to be aware of his thoughts," Mugford said. "If he's thinking about Tom Coughlin being five feet away from him and watching his every move, and his family has been telling him that Mel Kiper has been saying the New York Giants have him high on the Draft board, we don't want him focusing on Tom Coughlin when he's on deck to run his 40. We want them to recognize you can only focus on one thing at a time."
"As it relates to the mental conditioning part of the program, we learned a lot of breathing techniques, which helped me get better sleep," Montee Ball added. "We also developed a habit of doing mental reps. Going through all of the mental reps of running the 40, the L-cone drill - that really helped me prepare for the Combine."
There is a lot at stake and the NFL Combine and pro days are the biggest job interviews of these athletes' lives. IMG Academy has their guys taking it serious from every angle, both physical and mental.
"At the Combine they're putting these guys through a gauntlet of different stresses," Mugford said. "They're trying to get a full medical screen and compare apples to apples. Throw in the challenging and difficult interviews, and it's purely fatigue. These guys are maybe getting four hours of sleep a night. Everything is getting scrutinized, from their body language to how a guy copes with making a mistake and bouncing back with a tremendous amount of pressure. These are all things we talk about and work on at IMG Academy."
"You don't have to look far to be able to see guys that perform well in the Combine but are busts when they get to the NFL. Teams are trying to make their best guess on who is going to shine at the next level. It's typically the guys who are coachable, who are going to respond well to things mentally, and who are going to continue getting better because they have a winning mentality."

Freescale accelerates automotive safety with advanced airbag sensors
The development of safer vehicles is a key technology driver for the automotive industry, with airbag safety systems leading the charge. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that frontal air bags alone saved more than 25,780 lives between 1987 and 2008. As automotive suppliers continue to incorporate critical safety features in their designs, they must continue improving performance, while at the same time reducing cost to gain a competitive edge.
To address these demands, Freescale Semiconductor today unveiled two additions to its Xtrinsic line of intelligent sensing solutions specifically designed for enhanced automotive passenger safety. Freescale developed the MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW for airbag safety systems that use the widely adopted Distributed Systems Interface (DSI) 2.5 standard to connect remotely placed pressure, acceleration, occupant and buckle sensors to the main airbag electronic control unit (ECU). The DSI protocol supports point-to-point, parallel and daisy-chain networks. Pioneered by Freescale, Denso and TRW, the DSI protocol has been adopted by the world's leading manufacturers of supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags.
"As advancements are made in vehicle safety design, the importance of sensors in the vehicle is growing," said Demetre Kondylis, vice president and general manager of Freescale's Sensor & Actuator Solutions Division. "By incorporating sensors into their designs, our automotive customers continue to bring to market vehicles with leading-edge safety features. Adding support for the DSI 2.5 protocol to our Xtrinsic line of sensors is one more way we're providing the automotive solutions our customers need."
The Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW products are prominent additions to Freescale's portfolio of next-generation airbag solutions, which includes products that support the Peripheral Sensor Interface 5 (PSI5) protocol. The Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW accelerometers have integrated features that enable higher levels of system integration and intelligence to provide a more instant and intuitive crash response. The inertial satellite sensors are positioned around the car to collect sensing inputs and integrate signals for optimal front and side crash detection.
Freescale is one of the only suppliers with both X- and Z-axis over-damped inertial satellite sensors housed in a quad flat no-lead (QFN) package, which provide a smaller footprint and more flexibility for module orientation in vehicles. The over-damped response of the inertial sensor minimizes signal distortion when subjected to high magnitude and high-frequency shocks that are present during vehicle crashes. An accurate signal allows the system to properly calculate the need for airbag deployment during a crash.
The Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW sensors enable a 2 kHz or higher output data rate and up to four sensors on the same bus. These features allow designers to incorporate more functionality while decreasing the bill of materials. The MMA26xxW also supports a bus switch, which enables the airbag system to reconfigure in case of satellite module failure to help ensure an always-connected safety environment.
Feature Summary:
• ±50 g to ±312.5 g, nominal full-scale range, X-axis, or Z-axis
• Selectable 180 Hz, two pole, 400 Hz, four pole, or 800 Hz, four pole low-pass filter
• DSI 2.5 compliant, with full support of mandatory commands
• 16 us internal sample rate, with interpolation to 1 us
• -40 degrees C to +125 degrees C operating temperature range
• QFN 6x6 mm 16-pin package
• Qualified AEC-Q100, Revision G, Grade 1 (-40 degrees C to +125 degrees C)
Development support, price and availability
The Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW accelerometers are available now for a suggested resale price (USD) starting at $2.99 in 10,000-piece quantities.
Freescale's Tower Sensor Development Tool offers a modular, reconfigurable demonstration and development platform to provide an easier development cycle. It provides expansion cards plugged into backplane boards called the elevator and hosts a single MCU/MPU story as the main control board. The swappable plug-ins allows designers to rapidly evaluate and compare the Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW inertial satellite accelerometers. The TWRPI-DSI2.5 plug-in accelerometer boards are available for a suggested resale price of $15.00 (USD).
The Xtrinsic MMA16xxW and MMA26xxW accelerometers are included in Freescale's product longevity program, with assured supply for a minimum of 15 years. See www.freescale.com/productlongevity for details, terms and conditions.

Don't turn racquetball courts into lobby
To the editor:
It's a mistake, to me, for Fairfield Parks and Recreation to turn an excellent recreational facility, the racquetball courts, into … a lobby.
Those courts were actually very busy when they were built – tournaments included.
I think the problem was the past administration's mentality that said, "Here's a money-maker. Let's raise the price like that other town did."
Thus, when the cost soared to $10 an hour for racquetball, and $15 an hour for wallyball, people couldn't afford to come on a regular, stay-fit basis. What good does it do the taxpayers to pay for facilities which have fees higher than they can afford? And then have those facilities turned into a lobby, also at our expense?
Lower the prices. That is my suggestion. Include the $5 daily swim fee, too.
P.S. The Blue Zones Project is an excellent move!

When the Pope lifted the excommunication of four ultra-conservative Roman Catholic bishops earlier this year, he was plunged into one of the worst controversies of his pontificate. Since then, the Vatican has been trying not always with success to explain that the group isn't fully back in Rome's embrace at all.
The man tapped by Pope Benedict XVI to lead Vatican negotiations with the Lefebvrite movement says the controversial group remains in schism with the Catholic Church and that only its acceptance of the Second Vatican Council and obedience to the Pope can bring it fully back into the fold. In his first public comments since Benedict lifted the excommunication of the four bishops in January, Vatican doctrinal chief Cardinal William Levada tells TIME that important, and potentially insurmountable, differences still separate the Vatican and the group known as the Society of St. Pius X. Pointing to the Pope's letter last month to the world's bishops that addressed the controversy, Levada says the removal of the excommunication was a "gesture of mercy ... [and] invitation to a dialogue." But as matters currently stand, Levada says, "the Society lacks canonical status to exercise ministry in the Church." (See pictures of Pope Benedict XVI.)
Founded by the late French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to oppose the 1960s reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the Society became a breakaway movement when four bishops were ordained in 1988 in defiance of Pope John Paul II, and Lefebvre and his four new bishops were promptly excommunicated. The already thorny decision in January to lift the surviving bishops' excommunication became one of the lowest moments in Benedict's papacy when it coincided with a shocking television interview with one of the bishops. Questioned on his views of the Holocaust, British-born Bishop Richard Williamson told a Swedish TV reporter that no one was killed in Nazi gas chambers and that no more than 300,000 Jews died in concentration camps, rather than the widely accepted figure of 6 million Jews exterminated. (See a graphic on the philosophical influences of the Pope.)
Levada says he still has not met with the Society's top officials but expects that a dialogue will go forward with its bishops and top theological advisers. Unless Bishop Williamson fully recants his position denying the Holocaust, he cannot take part in the negotiations, says Levada, the U.S.-born head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the job the current Pope used to hold.
Benedict's decision in 2007 to allow wider access to the traditional Tridentine Mass said in Latin with the priest facing the altar rather than his flock means that liturgical disputes with the Lefebvre followers have basically been resolved. "What remain are doctrinal questions that can only be clarified through further patient dialogue," Levada says.
To give a sense of just how much "patience" might be needed, Levada compares the gesture toward the four bishops with the mutual decision in 1965 by Pope Paul VI and Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras to lift their 900-year-old reciprocal excommunications between leaders of Christianity's two oldest churches. "We rejoiced at this gesture aimed at Christian unity," Levada says during a 45-min. interview in his Vatican office. "But the removal of these excommunications did not end the schism that continues to exist between Catholicism and Orthodoxy."
The outstanding points of contention with the Lefebvre followers center on what Levada calls "obedience to the magisterium," or teaching authority, of the Pope, and specific decrees of the Second Vatican Council. "The Council is vast, and not all decrees are on the same level," Levada says. "The decree on religious liberty is one of the key issues that the Society has problems with." Lefebvre always opposed the reforms aimed at reaching out to other faiths. Levada insists there is much ground to cover in order to find out if the breakaway group is ready to rejoin the fold. "We will want to review the entire catechism of the Church with them," Levada adds, referring to the far-reaching document approved under the reign of Pope John Paul II that outlines fundamental Catholic teaching.
As the man in charge of Church orthodoxy, Levada will take over the reins of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, which has for nearly two decades been responsible for dealing with the Lefebvre followers. The Cardinal says the process will benefit from his congregation's body of some 30 theological advisers as well as from regular consultations with other key Vatican offices.
Levada will replace Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos, who had spearheaded the talks that led to the lifting of the excommunications. Castrillon has been criticized by many inside and outside Rome, including Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, who said the Colombian Cardinal should have known about Bishop Williamson's troubling views on the Holocaust. Levada does not take sides in the dispute but concedes that the Vatican was "a human structure, with its limitations and possibilities for improvement." Levada is quick to add that his own congregation, which was run for 24 years by the future Pope, was functioning like clockwork when he took over.

There was new miiverse news?!?
good to know miiverse can have different news feeds
can't wait to have a gaf only feed !!!
till nintendo figure their stuff out i will wait.
Same. Imagine if Apple released a new iPod and it wouldn't play any of your old songs. Nintendo is selling the hardware and the software. I expect the digital Nintendo software that Nintendo sells me to work on all Nintendo hardware I purchase. I can wait.
no $ from me...
There is a reason why digital content can be transferred forever.
That reminds me, what happened to the communities introduced in MK7? Seemed like such a good idea back then. Communities with Miiverse may just be enough for me to be interested in online play, even if a bit.
good to know miiverse can have different news feeds

1TB is 69 dollars and 2 Tb is 89 dollars at Frys. They're externally powered and manufactured by Toshiba
Obviously we have different versions of work. "Plays all your old songs, but with none of the new features advertised on our new hardware, and with the very real possibility it will be impossible to carry them over another generation" doesn't hit it for me.
But the games do work. Just go to the Wii mode and they'll all be there.
Is Apple giving remastered songs for free?
By the way, how do I play all the NES and SNES games I bought on the Wii VC on a 3DS?
but shoulda known
FAT32 wouldn't work that high anyways
But it has never been confirmed as such
Anyone that tried this with the Wii, I think they said they used FAT32
If Nintendo were dead set on preventing piracy, a rarely-used variant combined with other measures could make the difference.
Doesn't matter. Like the 3DS everything will be referenced by incomprehensible GUIDs linked to an encrypted database of title info. You would have no way to know what you are managing.
It's about being able to re-purpose the external HDD if you decide to no longer want to use it for the Wii U. If there's no way to manage the files with a PC, the only options here are to wipe it clean and lose everything or transfer it to another external HDD that is formatted for the Wii U. The former is a terrible option and the latter has no point.

Well, technically they are using the correct symbol. "Your" GB is actually a GiB, or Gibibyte. More information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte
Just watching that Nintendo direct and noticed they are using base 10 in their marketting. So my 32GB is not 32 GB...and that's before formatting. I really hate that sort of thing..
Yes but the established norm since almost the dawn of computers has been base 2. It just confuses the issue. DVD's generally still use base 2. When companies list their games they likely list them in base 2. When you get a directory of a filesystem it's base 2.

Anyway, no major, just annoying.
Not really important, but maybe interesting: That's no longer necessarily true, Apple changed the way they display available/used storage to base 10 with Snow Leopard. And many Linux desktop environments use correct prefixes for base 2 units.
When you get a directory of a filesystem it's base 2.

LAWRENCE — Sheahon Zenger is a student of military history, the kind of athletic director who will recite Rommel's retrenchment strategy or pull a Civil War novel from a shelf to illustrate a point.
It was appropriate, then, that Zenger used a military analogy to describe what he was seeking in a football coach when he hired Charlie Weis at Kansas.
"When you are as far down as we were," Zenger said, "I needed a war horse."
As the Weis era enters Year Two, Zenger is prepared to ride into battle with the coach he hired to change the Jayhawks' fortunes. Year One was, by most conventional measures, a massacre: The Jayhawks finished 1-11, failed to beat a team from the Bowl Subdivision and saw their Big 12 losing streak reach 21 games.
If we're being honest, no one — Zenger included — knows what to expect when the Jayhawks kick off a new season Saturday against South Dakota. So in the absence of certainty, Zenger goes back to an adage he heard often as a participant in Bill Snyder's turnaround at Kansas State.
"There are no parameters," Zenger said. "There are no, 'We're going to win this many' or 'We need to win this many.' I just want to see us get better one day at a time. That's on the field, off the field and in the classroom. That's the goal."
The latter category — classroom performance — was a glaring issue when Weis arrived. A significant chunk of the team was in academic distress, and grade problems contributed to high roster turnover during Weis' first weeks on campus.
KU's strength and conditioning program was another issue, which Weis addressed by hiring Scott Holsopple from Florida. Holsopple's regimented approach has created a fitter football team by all accounts, and Weis said the Jayhawks emerged from summer classes with a 3.11 grade-point average and no players on academic probation.
With those foundational issues addressed, the hope is that KU can focus on improving the results on the field in 2013.
"We got way better in the classroom," Zenger said. "We got way better in the weight room. I felt like we lined up right on Saturdays, and I felt like we competed. That's what last year was all about.
"This year, I just want to keep seeing that, getting better every day. I believe the way I was brought up in this business that you keep doing all those things right and the wins will come."
Wins are still the measuring stick for college football coaches, and by that metric, Weis' first season was a catastrophe. Whatever problems he inherited from Turner Gill, Weis — who earns $2.5 million annually — acknowledged his own part in KU's struggles.
"I always sit there and say, 'What could I have done?'" Weis said. "Whose record does that 1-11 go on? The last time I checked, it goes under my name, right? Kansas football and me. I'm the leader of that."
The Jayhawks had chances to improve that win total, losing five games last year by single digits. Weis can recite those close calls from memory, but they didn't make him any less miserable as he looked back on his first season.
"The Rice game, they kick a field goal at the end, and TCU turns it over (four) times but we still can't beat them," Weis said. "Then we got to Northern Illinois and blow that lead. And let's not talk about Texas Tech in double overtime. Let's not talk about blowing the Okie State game when we've got it cut to six and the ball's on the 30-yard line. And how about giving up a touchdown pass to Texas with 11 seconds to go?
"Other than that, I did a wonderful job. And to be perfectly honest with you, I blame me. I truly blame me."
The Jayhawks lost their share of blowouts, too: 52-7 at Oklahoma, 51-23 on senior night against Iowa State and 59-10 at West Virginia to close the season. With Weis calling the plays, KU ranked 93rd in the Bowl Subdivision in total offense and 123rd in quarterback rating, forcing Weis to scrap much of his playbook and rely on the running game.
Zenger got glimpses of those unconventional game plans during weekly chats with Weis. The Jayhawks couldn't scheme their way to a Big 12 victory, but Zenger still saw Weis' offensive mind at work.
"Monday nights he and I spend an hour together, just chewing the fat about a lot of things," Zenger said. "It always ends up with a review of the last game, and he gives me a little glimpse of the next game, a little nugget.
"I'll be a son of a gun if it doesn't play out just as he (says), particularly from an offensive point of view."
Losses took a toll as the season wore on, but Zenger's faith wasn't shaken. He knew the Jayhawks were in for a battle, which is why he needed a coach with a hide thick enough to absorb some arrows and the resolve to challenge the odds.
A year later, Zenger wouldn't want anyone but Weis leading the charge.
"He's kind of a war horse who's been through it all," Zenger said.

Georgia (1988)
Directed by Ben LewinGenres - Mystery | Sub-Genres - Psychological Thriller | Run Time - 90 min. | Countries - Australia |

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The limitless talents of British actress Judy Davis are generously displayed throughout Georgia. Davis plays a dual role, as Nina, a brilliant attorney and (in flashbacks) Georgia, the attorney's mother. Haunted by her mother's long-ago death by drowning, Nina reopens the investigation. What she learns not only jeopardizes her relationships with several loved ones, but also puts her own life in peril. Perhaps too intense for some viewers, Georgia is nonetheless deserving of a wider audience than it originally received in 1988.

Premature babies are at risk for many troubling health issues associated with being born very small: immature lungs, greater risk of infection, jaundice, and low blood pressure, to name a few. But now researchers believe that being born too soon can place a child at high risk for mental illness, according to MSNBC.
The study, conducted jointly by scientists in Britain and Sweden, found that individuals born before 32 weeks were three times more likely than those born at full term to be hospitalized with a psychiatric illness, including bipolar disorder, depression, and psychosis, after the age of 16.
Babies born between 32 and 36 weeks also have a smaller increased risk of suffering from mental illness. The numbers are a bit worrying: Psychosis is 2.5 times more likely for premature babies; severe depression 3 times more likely; and bipolar disorder 7.4 times more likely. Researchers studied 1.3 million medical records in Sweden and found that about 6 percent of people with severe depression and 6 percent of those with psychosis were born early, and about 11 percent of people with bipolar disorder were born pre-term.
Before parents of premature babies go into a panic, however, researchers do state that these psychiatric illnesses effect between 1 and 6 percent of the population. While researchers aren't yet able to say exactly why this is the case, they believe it is the result of difference in brain development between early and full-term babies.
I know this would make me panic had my children been early. My daughter was late and my son was induced two weeks before his due date. He had a short stint in the NICU because of health problems, leading me to second guess our decision (the induction was medically necessary), and I worried for months about what impact that decision might have on him. He's fine and I'm a world class-worrier, but I'm the mom and that's my job.
Does this new study make you worry about your preemie? Let us know in the comments section below.

[VIRGINIA-NORTH CAROLINA] U.S. U-20 Women's World Cup champion Kealia Ohai scored a pair of breakaway goals to allow No.
6 North Carolina to earn a 2-2 draw at No. 5 Virginia Sunday afternoon. Caroline Miller had both goals for the Cavaliers.
The two teams went to overtime for the seventh time in the last 11 meetings. The tie ended an eight-match winning streak for UVA (8-1-1), while UNC is now 4-2-2.
Ohai, who returned to UNC last Monday after missing the first six games of the season, scored on a breakaway just 56 seconds before the end of the first half after taking a through ball from freshman Reilly Parker.
The lead was short-lived, however, as Miller struck for a pair of goals, her sixth and seventh of the season, in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
UNC's Meg Morris came close to tying the game but her shot from 30 yards out hit the crossbar in the 60th minute. But she later sprung Ohai, who broke through from the defense and scored the game-tying goal with 17 minutes to play.
Freshman Bryane Heaberlin came up big in the late stages for Carolina, making saves on shots by Morgan Brian, her U-20 Women's World Cup teammate, in the 87th minute and by Miller in the opening minute of the second overtime.
"When you look at the game and the chances we had and the ones we gave up, a tie is probably a just result," said Virginia coach Steve Swanson. "I think later in the year, this result will look pretty good. Right now, it doesn't feel good because it's not what we wanted, especially after having the lead in the second half. But given the way the game went, I think we can both take a point from this game and look to build on it."
Swanson coached Ohai, Heaberlin, Brian and UNC's Crystal Dunn at the U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan.
Ohai scored the winning goal in the final set up by Dunn, while Heaberlin was in goal, and Brian captained the USA.
Sept. 16 in Charlottesville, Va.
Virginia 2 North Carolina 2. Goals: Miller (Hollenberg) 49, Miller (Brian) 55; Ohai (Parker) 45, Ohai (Morris) 73.
North Carolina -- Sieloff, Dunn, Murray, Gardner, Premji, Brooks, Morris, Elby, Ohai, Lubrano, Rich. Subs: Bryane Heaberlin, Gray, Nigro, McFarlane, Parker, Nielsen.
Virginia -- DeLisle, Stith, Brannon, Fisher, Colaprico, Menchel, Norbo, Roberts, Doniak, Miller, Colaprico. Subs: Douglas, Sonnett, Torres, Carrollo, Hollenberg.

The crash landing of a Boeing 777 at San Francisco airport threw California skies into chaos Saturday, diverting dozens of flights and forcing others to make dramatic U-turns back to Southern California. The chain reaction left airline passengers both grouchy and grateful up and down the West Coast.
Airlines scrambled throughout the day to find available runways at San Jose and Oakland international airports and as far away as Sacramento and Los Angeles to land their San Francisco-bound flights.
Airport officials in San Jose and Oakland expected operations to return to normal Sunday. But San Francisco airport officials were unsure whether all the airport's runways would be open.
San Jose welcomed 24 flights that had been diverted from SFO on Saturday and was expecting one more arrival Saturday night. Oakland accepted 11 diverted SFO flights.
On Sunday, airport officials with both airports said, it should be business as usual. But "the message will be to check with your carrier," said Brian Kidd, Oakland airport spokesman.
SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said late Saturday that two of the airport's four runways will remain closed until investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board arrive from Washington overnight and "go through their investigation process. We need to allow that to happen before we're able to open the other two runways, so that remains to be seen."
On Saturday, diverted passengers found it challenging to get home.
Jesse Sellars flew out of Seattle, where he had been vacationing, and was planning to catch a connecting United Airlines flight in San Francisco to get home to Colorado Springs, Colo. Instead, he found himself sitting on a baggage carousel in Oakland with a cellphone pressed against his ear. Sellars had been on hold for 20 minutes and still had no idea how he was going to get home.
"We were dumped here," he said. "United has no support here. They sent a dislocation team, but basically what they said is 'You're dislocated.' "
But Sellars, like untold other displaced airline passengers Saturday, put his dilemma into perspective.
"It's hard to complain about being inconvenienced given what's happened," he said.
Randy McCall and his wife, Laurie, and their two kids were on a United flight from San Diego to Seattle, with a connection at SFO, when the pilot came on the public-address system.
"We were just descending, and the pilot told us the field had been closed, and we were being diverted to San Jose," Randy McCall said. "Before we were even told by the pilot what had happened, passengers already knew because they had pulled out their smartphones. In fact, I remember the pilot telling us, 'In this day of technology, you may find out what happened before we do.' And he was right. Everybody pulled out their iPads, and we were watching it on CNN before we got to the gate."
As soon as they landed in San Jose, Randy McCall said, "Our next thought was, 'How are we gonna get out of here?' We're taking a cruise to Alaska tomorrow, so we have to be there."
Paul Walsh and his wife, Pam Huey, and their two sons were heading to SFO to catch a flight to Salt Lake City, en route to their home in Edina, Minn., a Minneapolis suburb, when they received a voice mail from Delta Air Lines saying their flight had been canceled. They were told to catch a flight from San Jose to Salt Lake City, which would get them to Minneapolis only three hours later than they had planned.
But their commuter plane developed pressure problems about 20 minutes into the flight, and was diverted to Fresno, where Walsh, Huey and their children were stuck Saturday night.
They had no hotel room and were counting on catching any flight to Salt Lake City.
Walsh said he wasn't thrilled with the prospect of spending the night in the Central Valley.
"This is my first time in Fresno," he said. "I've never been to Salt Lake, either, for that matter."
Avery Wilson, sporting natty dreadlocks at San Jose airport, identified himself as a member of the Wailers, Bob Marley's band, and said he had a gig Saturday night in San Rafael.
"My bandmates took an earlier flight and got in fine," Wilson said, after lowering his headphones. "I just hope I make it."
Natalie Alund, a reporter for this newspaper, was on a United flight from Los Angeles to SFO that was just about to land when the plane suddenly and violently jerked to the left.
A panicked-looking flight attendant told Alund that a plane had just crashed, and their flight was heading back to LAX. Once back on the ground, hundreds of confused San Francisco-bound passengers swarmed Los Angeles ticket agents and flight information terminals.
"Over the loudspeaker, they were saying, 'This flight's canceled, this flight's canceled, this flight's canceled,' " Alund said. "I then went to the board, and there were eight or nine flights from LAX to SFO. One after another, just like in the movies, they suddenly said, 'Canceled, canceled, canceled.' "
Alund had enjoyed the Fourth of July holiday with friends in Hollywood and planned to spend the night with them again Saturday. But Sunday morning, she planned to take United up on its offer of a free, first-class flight to SFO.

The app called "Free App Wall" is easily the best one of its type which I've tried so far. The point of this handy app is to find other apps which are not normally free but are for one reason or another. This is often because the other apps are new or being promoted or something of this nature but the bottom line is this is the best way to find great apps for free that I've seen.
The layout is very nice with a 'Western' theme with the 'Most Wanted' apps at the top and then a list of apps which are free for a limited time. At the bottom they have a list of suggested free apps. The best thing about this app, in my opinion, is that there are some very good apps in their list which is something I often did not see in other 'find free apps' apps in the past. In addition, you can view the full details of the free app before ever having to go to the app store to purchase it.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
Everything from the description to the screenshots is available to review quickly and easily within the app. The normal price is clearly listed so you can see how much you are saving and there is also an option to share the app with friends which is nice since I've found many apps which I was not interested in but I thought my wife or someone else may have been. With the click of a button I can let them know that it's free for a limited time so they can take a look.
In the two or three days I've been using this app I've saved over $10 in apps that I've wanted but just didn't want to spend the money on. I've also seen a few apps which I paid good money for already listed so I wish I would have had this app months ago. One thing is for sure, I'll be checking this app daily to see the updated list of free apps.
While I'm loving most of my new free apps, I will say one of my favorite things about this app is that even when I choose an app and it is not as good as I hoped, I don't have to worry about it since it's free! This is a great way to get a ton of apps without having to spend a dime.
If, however, I don't want to manually go in and check it out, the Free App Wall has push notifications so every time an app price goes to free I can get a notification! This is an excellent way to snag those apps which just go on sale for a very limited time. It is great to know that I'll be one of the first to know when an app is free so I can be sure to grab it. Once I've purchased the app for free it is mine to keep so I won't have to worry about ever having to buy it again.

Shortly after a first-period video tribute to his career as a Flame, Theo Fleury waved from the owners' box to acknowledge the hearty applause.
And while the gesture was an honourable one the club has made a conscious effort to do more of as it approaches its 30th anniversary, it fell short of the true honour awaiting the Little Big Man.
The next time he's highlighted at the 'Dome the 5-foot-6 mighty mite should be looking up -- way up -- to his jersey being hoisted to the rafters. His No. 14 should be retired.
For all intents and purposes it already has been, as no player has worn his number since the 1999 trade that wiped the franchise of its last great star from the glory years and set up a tearful farewell few fans will forget.
Those types of emotions could all come flooding back for the 40-year-old entrepreneur if the club does the right thing and sees his number join Lanny McDonald's No. 9 and Mike Vernon's No. 30.
"It would just kind of be the cherry on top of the cake for me as to how far I've come away from the game and off the ice and turned my life around," said Fleury, quick to point out he'd never lobby for the move nor is it his decision.
"Would I like it to happen? Absolutely. Anyone would like that honour bestowed on him, but nobody's called me or mentioned it."
They should. Oh sure, perhaps Al MacInnis is logically the next in line. But it's quite possible no one played with the type of heart and emotion Fleury poured onto the ice here for 11 years. Not only was the eighth-round gem a gifted and gritty fan favourite, he also left as the club's all-time point leader -- a title Jarome Iginla is still 54 points short of.
You can bet Iginla will have his jersey hung here with care, as should his very first linemate, Fleury.
"Absolutely it should be retired -- look what he did for the team," said Coyotes defenceman Derek Morris who played his first few seasons in Calgary with Fleury.
"He was always a good teammate -- never called guys out for their mistakes. Everybody has personal problems or demons but he didn't accomplish what he did because he did steroids or anything -- he got there because he worked his butt off for the team. Did the fans not love watching him play and cut into the middle and throw a wrister top shelf? That's why you lift someone's number to the rafters, not because of what they overcame."
Ah yes, the demons he promises to reveal in his upcoming book play a huge role in arguments against Fleury, whose career ended with orders to attend the league's substance-abuse program.
However, I'd suggest overcoming long odds and obstacles and being able to clean up his life to be a contributing member of the community is all the more reason to put him on such a pedestal.
As Shane Doan attested, "When you hear Theo Fleury, you think of the Flames."
You think of him sliding on his knees celebrating his overtime goal against Edmonton, you think of him battling men a foot taller, and you think of that goofy grin. Heck, his last handful of years here he was the only reason to watch the Flames.
"Playing against the guy, I hated him as much as anyone I ever played against, but I would have him on my team any time," said Gretzky, who had dinner with the 455-goal, 1,088-point scorer Monday.
"And in '02 when we were doing the Olympic team there was no way in my mind he wasn't going to be on that team."
No, Fleury didn't finish his career here but who can blame him for essentially forcing his trade to Colorado by virtue of his duty to chase his big chance at unrestricted free agency and the $28 million the Rangers threw his way.
Part of his legacy is the cornerstone the Flames got in return, Robyn Regehr.
"I know why they traded me and I'm not bitter at all -- all that stuff is in the past," said Fleury. "All I remember is all the goals I scored and great games I played in as a Flame, that's what I remember most."
And they should be commemorated the proper way.

On Monday afternoon, colleague Tristan H. Cockcroft and I debated the relatively disappointing early-season numbers from Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg, touching on his lack of wins, his lower strikeout rate and the fact that the No. 3 starting pitcher in ESPN average live drafts entered Monday's outing in Atlanta outside the top 50 starters on the Player Rater. We did not need to discuss Strasburg's durability.
After Strasburg struggled a bit in the first inning yet again Monday but still finished with more than passable numbers (6 innings, 2 runs, 8 strikeouts), Nationals fans and fantasy owners were reminded that there are worse things than merely "average" numbers: Strasburg was diagnosed with right forearm tightness. He's scheduled to be re-examined Tuesday. While Strasburg told reporters he thinks he will make his next start (scheduled for Saturday at Pittsburgh), let's just say, given his injury history, the Nationals are likely to play it safe with him.
After all, Strasburg is an ace expected of big things, and coming off the ridiculous hoopla of 2012, when his season was shut down prematurely before the end of September, caution seems warranted. In a vacuum, forearm tightness is often a precursor to elbow ligament damage. Of course, Strasburg already has undergone one Tommy John surgery (in 2011). During the game, he could be seen shaking his arm on a few occasions, likely trying to ease discomfort in the forearm. His command was also way off, as he issued four walks, throwing only 53 of 93 pitches for strikes. And his ERA since winning Opening Day is an un-Strasburg-like 3.86, while opponents are hitting .379 off him in the first inning.
For now, don't panic. Yes, Strasburg isn't pitching like the ace many expected, but it's still April. Let's hope a few days of rest fixes the issue and he doesn't require a DL stint (or much worse). Trying to sell Strasburg at this point for fair value seems as unlikely as his making his weekend start; fantasy owners have to know that while there seemed to be little injury risk when Monday began, it's there in spades now.
Meanwhile, Strasburg wasn't the only player to suffer an injury Monday night. Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton tried to leg out an infield hit in extra innings against the New York Mets but fell to the ground grabbing his right hamstring. It's a strain and is serious enough to have already landed the top-15 pick in ESPN live drafts on the disabled list. It's a shame, of course, especially since Stanton's bat finally got going over the weekend, when he slugged his first three home runs of the season.
Don't try to sell what was originally a second-round pick for whatever you can get. That's not wise. Even if Stanton needs to miss a month, remember last May, when he mashed 12 home runs and hit .343 with 30 RBIs. A healthy Stanton is capable of this in any month, but we might have to wait until June for his first full healthy month.
The Marlins are not expected to call up intriguing outfield prospect Christian Yelich any time soon, so assume a terrible lineup becomes that much more so. The messy Marlins also placed first baseman Joe Mahoney, whom I also have touted lately, on the DL. Marcell Ozuna, a power hitter who swings and misses a lot, was promoted from Double-A Jacksonville and could be worth an NL-only look if he sees opportunity.
In addition, Los Angeles Angels center fielder Peter Bourjos left the 19-inning marathon loss to the Oakland Athletics prematurely because of a pulled hamstring and is expected to be placed on the DL Tuesday, with shortstop Erick Aybar coming off it. Bourjos was thriving as the leadoff hitter, so this is indeed bad news, but look for Aybar to smoothly replace him in that role, adding to his value. Mike Trout, so disappointing as the No. 29 outfielder on the Player Rater so far, should move to center field, though that doesn't add value in most fantasy leagues.
Box score bits (NL): Want more injuries? Mets third baseman David Wright missed Monday's game because of a sore neck. Wright is off to a terrific start, so hopefully he plays Tuesday. ... Those of you who own Cincinnati Reds outfielder Chris Heisey should move on; he's on the DL now because of a hamstring strain and wasn't hitting anyway (.173). Donald Lutz was called up from Double-A Pensacola, but Xavier Paul started in Heisey's place and was hitless in four at-bats, though he knocked in a run. Spend a buck on Paul in NL-only formats but avoid him in mixed leagues unless it's really deep. Lutz has some pop and more upside, but he might not get to play. ... San Diego Padres lefty Clayton Richard was reliable in 2012. But after another pounding Monday (5 runs in 5 2/3 innings), he finishes April winless, with more walks than strikeouts and a 7.94 ERA and 1.90 WHIP. Obviously he should be avoided. ... It's easy to not like Milwaukee Brewers infielder Yuniesky Betancourt, but his home run Monday gave him five already, and he has knocked in 20 runs. He's the No. 8 third baseman on the Player Rater, and 11th at second base, which tells you second base has been more productive in fantasy so far. This will stop, of course, but he's eligible at three infield spots (oddly, not shortstop) and worth at least a short-term look at middle infield.
Box score bits (AL): Right-hander Dan Straily was summoned from Triple-A Sacramento to replace injured Brett Anderson against the Angels, but the outing did not go well. Straily allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings. Anderson, meanwhile, was needed to pitch in relief and did so effectively, allowing one run in 5 1/3 innings. He is expected to make his next start, and Straily, who is loaded with strikeout potential, is expected to be demoted. ... Seattle Mariners outfielder Michael Saunders came off the DL and homered in his first at-bat. Saunders is owned in barely 5 percent of ESPN leagues, but let's remember that he hit 19 home runs and stole 21 bases last year, and neither of those stats seemed fluky. ... Cleveland Indians afterthought Ryan Raburn wouldn't have been in my daily lineup Monday since he was facing right-hander Wade Davis. Raburn hits lefties far better. Still, he homered twice, singled twice and knocked in four. Don't invest in him but note that he does have the potential for double-digit home runs. ... Similarly, don't invest in right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez, despite his seven shutout innings of three-hit ball. The last time Jimenez, who still has a 7.13 ERA, pitched well, he followed it up with a pair of seven-run performances.

Coin Case
A Coin Case (Japanese: コインケース Coin Case) is a key item used in each of the Game Corners scattered around the Pokémon world. A Coin Case appeared in every main series Pokémon game until Generation V and has not appeared since.
The purpose of the Coin Case is to hold Coins, which are the currency of the Game Corners. If a player does not have a Coin Case, then he or she is not allowed to participate in the gambling-type games like slot machines and roulette, as Coins must be inserted into the game machines before play can begin.
The Coin Case can hold up to 9,999 coins in Generations I, II, and III, and up to 50,000 coins in Generation IV. If the limit is reached, no further winnings can be put in the Coin Case—they will simply be discarded—and no further coins can be purchased.
There are three ways to determine how many Coins are in a Coin Case. The first is to play a game at the Game Corner; by default, the total amount of Coins held will appear on the screen. Secondly, a player may inquire to buy Coins at the Game Corner counter: as with money, the amount will be shown in the corner of the screen. Finally, the player may use the Bag menu to examine the Coin Case. This will show the contents of the Case.
As a key item, the Coin Case cannot be sold.

First post in five years!
Well I've been here nearly five years now and not posted anything in my blog spot so I thought I should do something!
Originally from London my parents settled in Oxfordshire (where you can smell the countryside!).
My dad and his younger brother were both keen modellers, RC was 'smoke and mirrors' to them though. 'Uncle Bob' had a double wardrobe stacked full of kits (mostly the KeilKraft scale range) and used to give me one every time we went back to London, like Christmas to me.
My dad liked to design and fly ambitious subjects, probably the most ambitious was a 1/12 scale Avro Lancaster for free flight that appeared briefly at Old Warden in the early 1970s. Only flew once as I remember, big wing over after take off and damaged but not too badly. It still survives and is kept locally.
Dad was a National Service engine fitter with the RAF about the time of the Berlin Airlift and worked on Avro York's, Ansons etc. I followed him in to the RAF, working on jets through the last stages of the Cold War and retired after 23 years service in 2002.
In my time in the RAF I took up full size gliding and eventually became a full category instructor and tug pilot, my last posting was at the RAFGSA Centre teaching Army, Navy and RAF personnel to glide. I don't instruct now due to work committments but I might get back to it.
I currently work for Brawn GP (formerly Honda F1 Racing) in the wind tunnel, knowing not much about F1 I apparently got the job because I knew the difference between static and dynamic pressure! Been there three years now.
I got involved in a Tiger Moth syndicate a few years ago, it's a very rewarding experience flying and maintaining a 65 year old aircraft, it can be a pain at times but the magical moments are worth it.
Work, life and the family budget often comes second to messing around with model aircraft, I must admit that I probably enjoy building more than flying. I have a loft full of models that have flown but I don't want to fly them again just in case they crash due to operator error!
Better post some photos.

Thanks, we had a 'dark' couple of years and a very hard uncertain winter but the work seems to have paid off. I can tell you that Jenson is not very smiley at 6 o'clock in the morning!

A couple weeks ago, I guest posted for Better Homes and Gardens Style Spotters blog, sharing my tips for hosting a beautiful and relaxed Thanksgiving. I had an extremely difficult time just sharing a few photographs of the Thanksgiving table setting. Today, I'm sharing all of the details beautifully captured by Jenny Wheat. Here comes a little eye candy… Floral arrangements by Volante Floral Design. Using wood grain washi tape, I taped sprigs of rosemary for remembrance, a photograph of an old home on my grandparent's property from my childhood, favorite quotes, family photos & a photograph of our old street in the Fall. It took just a few minutes and filled the void on the wall. {china from the Vintage Plate Company} Apple Cider Signature Cocktail
My antique dresser, filled with linens, topped with wispy flowers, found antlers and a pitcher of water.
If you're in our home, you risk being gilded. I love my new stag head bottle topper!
and myself doing a few last minute touches…completely unprepared for the camera.
Have you printed my Thanksgiving word search yet?
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoy a beautiful holiday weekend! Are you hosting?
