Probe ordered into UP police firing on students
The state government has granted Rs five lakh each as ex-gratia to the families of the deceased.india Updated: Aug 01, 2006 18:43 IST
A probe was ordered on Tuesday into the alleged murder of a student leader and the police firing during subsequent protests by students in which one of them was killed.
"The inquiry would be conducted by the Commissioner, Basti Division, BD Singh," District Magistrate Umesh Chandra Tewari told reporters Sant Kabirnagar.
The student who had received injuries in police firing following the murder of Rakesh Maurya, a student leader of HRPG college succumbed on way to the Gorakhpur Medical College Hospital late last night, Tewari said.
The state government has granted Rs five lakh each as ex-gratia to the families of the deceased, Tewari said adding that the last rites of both the students were performed in the presence of their family members on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, traders observed a Khalilabad bandh in protest against Monday's incident.
All educational institutions remained closed and prohibitory orders had been promulgated to maintain peace, Tewari said.
DIG, Basti range, BM Tripathi said circle officer of Khalilabad, Ashok Kumar has been removed for his slackness in controlling the situation arising out of students protest following the murder of Rakesh Maurya.
Additional force including two companies of PAC have been deployed in the town to maintain law and order, he said.
An FIR has been registered against four persons in connection with Maurya's murder while another FIR against unknown persons has been filed by the police in connection with violence and arson.

Every day at White Stone Farm there is something new to discover. Whether it's an old garden bed, complete with fruit trees buried under monstrous weeds and years of neglect, or a new type of raptor soaring overhead, or a new animal that shares the property with us, there is always a little surprise and a daily discovery.
On this day it was the latter, a bundle of fluff in the garden. One with a nocturnal nature, that you don't often get to see and likely I would never have realised that we share our home and land with such a delicate creature.

Back in my discussion about JRPGs, I mentioned this little tidbit called aesthetics. Now, I only mentioned—and briefly—discussed about a few aesthetics in the Mindshare, and it served to broaden the discussion a lot more, but I thought it was high time to discuss them further.
This discussion really started with the 2 Chimps on a Davenport podcast. During Dan and John's time at E3 2013, Josh Kowbel talked about how excited he was about Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 (I nearly lost it when they announced KH3), and then John, displaying his ignorance and ineptitude for the matter, said this:
"What does Final Fantasy mean? Final Fantasy means nothing anymore, because the shit that they showed is not turn-based."
I think that was him just using confirmation bias to support his claim, and I don't think he's ever read the M.D.A. in game design before. This is a topic I've really wanted to talk about for a while, because it helps in understanding the process of designing a game, as well as the fundamental desires that players have when they play a specific genre or game. It also shows us that we're looking at game genres wrong. If you want to read up on it, here's the link to the original paper. So, let's get started.
Back in the early 2000s, there was a paper written by Robin Hunicke, Marc LeBlanc, and Robert Zubek called Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics. It was an early attempt to formulize game design theory, and it's important in looking at game genres. In this discussion, I will be giving a highly expanded view on the discussion within the first section of that paper, specifically the portion about the aesthetics of play.
A lot of people in this day and age seem to define a genre based on surface elements. This game is an RPG, because it has a leveling system. This game is an FPS, because it involves shooting in a first person camera. That game is a platformer, because it involves jumping from one ledge to another. This is a misleading step to take when defining a game or genre. What we really need to look at is the dissected parts of the game's design.
So what are these three points in design? Well, not surprisingly, they're already mentioned in the paper: Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics. The mechanics are defined as "the particular components of the game, at the level of data representation and algorithms." This is represented by the code-base for the game's design, like the math for how shooting works in an FPS, or the input lag between the time that a button is pressed, and when the action tied to that button is triggered in the game.
Dynamics are defined as "the run-time behavior of the mechanics acting on player inputs and each others' outputs over time." This is where a lot of people mistake the dynamics of a game with the aesthetics, which I'll get to shortly. Dynamics can be defined, in the game, as specific actions and the mindset that you conceive when playing, like the run-and-gun gameplay in that FPS, or the slow, methodical strategies in a JRPG.
And finally, we have the final aspect to define: Aesthetics. The aesthetics are "the desirable emotional responses evoked in the player, when (s)he interacts with the game system." Aesthetics are the underlying, emotive reasons why you come to a specific genre or game in the first place. For example, the challenge, or the fantasy of being a Marine in an FPS, or the dramatic narrative in a JRPG; those are some examples of aesthetics you can experience in a game. The mechanics create the dynamics of the game, which all come together to shape the overall aesthetic.
One of the key insights mentioned in the M.D.A. paper, is that both designers and players will approach the spectrum from the opposite direction. Players will most viscerally experience the aesthetics of the game, the broad reasons why they're playing it. But designers, due to the nature of production, have to start with the mechanics, and work their way up. Unfortunately, they can be so focused on the mechanics that they forget what the aesthetics for their game will be; or, worse, they think that specific mechanics always deliver specific aesthetics, which never works. For example, leveling up in a game like Borderlands serves a completely different aesthetic than leveling up in Call of Duty multiplayer. A lot of terrible clones were made when they thought that specific mechanics would create specific aesthetics.
Simply defining a genre based on the mechanics and the dynamics is the absolute definition of going the wrong way, and both consumers and designers fall pray to it all the time. In fact, you can probably see it in today's games. Some developer will see a successful game and try to recreate it using similar mechanics. They create a game that appears, on the surface, to be similar to that game, but it still manages to fall flat. It may share mechanics from that same game, but it just doesn't seem the same as its doppelgänger. The reason why it fails is because they conflated the techniques used to create that game with the more important task of understanding why the player plays that game.
Now, before we start talking about what these aesthetics are, I need to talk about genres. This is going to take up a little bit of the discussion, but bear with me. When you pick up a romance novel, you're reading that novel for fundamentally different reasons than you would if you picked up a comedy or a dramatic novel. This is the same for movies as well. When you're watching an action flic featuring Bruce Willis or Sylvester Stallone, you're watching them for completely different reasons than a comedy featuring Shannon Elizabeth or Jason Biggs.
By itself, movie genres aren't defined by specific editing styles or different types of cinematography, or literary novels by formulaic plot tropes. Sure, you may see different genres utilizing those same camera angles or story conventions, but those don't define the genre. Genres, in all things, are defined by what the audience desires the most out of the experience from those forms of media. Saying you watch movies for the editing, or playing a game for the mechanics, is like saying you read Maxim for the articles—and we all know that's not why people read Maxim or Playboy.
Let me ask you: Why do we call Mass Effect an RPG, even though its combat centers on third-person shooting? Why are we so confident in giving Call of Duty the FPS label, even though it has a leveling system in the multiplayer? It's because we're defining them not by surface mechanics or camera perspectives, but because of the human desires, emotions and interests that the game delivers on, the underlying reasons we play a video game. Take the FPS genre. We've defined a genre based on the fact that it takes place in the first person perspective, and involves shooting. That's ridiculous. What if we defined film genres that way? Fear Induced Scream. Close Up Kissing. Silly Boisterous Laughter. We always seem to break this term all the time. We may not be able to articulate why, but we all know that Portal and Fallout don't fit well inside the FPS genre. Both take place in the first person perspective. They both involve shooting. They perfectly reach the requirements of being an FPS, but we all know they are not First Person Shooters. Why? Because they fulfill different desires. They may share mechanics from one another, but they could serve completely different aesthetics.
So now that that's out of the way, what are these aesthetics? Well they're all easy to define, and, in fact, are all written down in the paper. The paper has eight aesthetics defined properly throughout. Since then, developers have been able to add a few more, but we'll be focusing on the main ones listed instead, and maybe one aesthetic that isn't listed in there. But before we start talking about these aesthetics, we have to keep in mind the core aesthetics, the fundamental reasons you play, because you'll find that a lot of games share elements of all the aesthetics, but that doesn't give us enough information. The useful information comes from defining the core aesthetics that the game tries to evoke. Sure, Mario games have a narrative, but you're not playing them for the deep, interpersonal drama between Mario, Peach, and Bowser, so that's not a core aesthetic. When looking at a game, you have to ask yourself these questions: "Is __________ an element of this game?", followed by, "Is __________ the reason I play this game?" This is an easy place for young designers to get lost.
Ok. Now we can begin discussing about those aesthetics. The first aesthetic is the simplest one to define, but also the weakest of these, and that is Sensation. This is defined as game as sense-pleasure. These are games that stimulate your senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell). So, if it's a game you come back time and time again for the visuals, or the music, that game uses Sensation as a core aesthetic. Games like Child of Eden, Rez, El Shaddai, Okami, DDR, and Crysis deliver on Sensation as a core aesthetic.
As I mentioned earlier, Sensation is the weakest of these aesthetics, mainly because of two factors: the limitations of the hardware, and the game's age—both of which are intertwined together. Today, the hardware for the 360 and the PS3 are so old, and the graphical limits have since exploded outside of those consoles, the games coming out on the current-gen consoles are not as visually amazing as they were midway through the console's lifecycle. And this is especially true for older systems, like the original PlayStation, the N64, etc. For example, remember the first time Mario transformed from being an 8-bit sprite to a 3D character in Super Mario 64? That was amazing at the time. Today… not so much. The thing about Sensation is that, as technology advances, what we consider to be visually amazing becomes outdated very quickly, to the point that it's shadowed by something far superior to it. A game like Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy XIII, or Crysis, right now, have absolutely gorgeous visuals, but what about ten years from now? It's probably going to be swallowed by something bigger and better than them. We're seeing this with the next generation of games like Destiny, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4, all promising to show off the new hardware for the PS4 and/or the Xbox One.
As for the music, that's a different matter. Considering how much YouTube and iTunes have exploded since the 2000s, we're seeing less and less games focusing on Sensation in terms of music. I mean, when was the last time you came back to a game just for the music? Why bother, when you could just search for the soundtrack of that game on YouTube or listen to it on your iPhone? I mean, maybe it would work better in conjunction with the level it's associated with, but it's all moot when you consider that music is not, for the most part, holistic to the experience.
The second is Fantasy. Fantasy is game as make-believe. And no, it doesn't refer to orcs, elves, or the game's setting. Fantasy is the ability to step into the shoes of an individual you could never partake in everyday life. When you totally feel like a badass marine, or a heroic knight, or a hardcore rock-n-roll god, that's is Fantasy at its best. They take that idea, boil it to its essence and deliver it in a steady, successive drip. Games like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero, NFL Blitz, God of War, and Halo deliver on Fantasy as a core aesthetic.
Fantasy is another weak aesthetic to use, but it can make for great experiences—if done right. When I say "if done right", it usually means that Fantasy is backed up with another aesthetic, such as Expression, where the player can truly create the character they want to fantasize about. Many WRPGs focus on Fantasy, along with the role-playing nature of the games, because it allows the player to become the role, instead of being "someone".
The third is Narrative. This is game as drama. It's all about the stories and the human drama you witness, rather than the fantasy you live through. Games that focus on Narrative as a core aesthetic try to evoke emotion from the characters to the player. Games like Final Fantasy, The Sims, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Infamous, Half-Life, Kingdom Hearts, and The Walking Dead all try to evoke emotion from its narrative.
This is yet another aesthetic that doesn't hold up as well today, especially when you look at games like Mass Effect, Infamous, The Walking Dead, and Bioshock etc., where you are given choices for how the story unfolds. Now compare them to games like Final Fantasy, Half-Life, or Kingdom Hearts, where it's just a straightforward progression of the story, regardless of how many conventions you take to try and change the story. Games that focus on Narrative as a core aesthetic are subjected to a lack of replay ability if there's no sense of choice in creating a unique story to ones own liking.
Now, that doesn't mean all narrative-based games need to have branching storylines. Sometimes, it can be a unique approach to storytelling, a completely novel way for the writers to create a story with the mechanics and the dynamics that are given to them. For example, have you ever noticed how in most JRPGs the main protagonist isn't usually YOU? It's multiple people with their own personalities, goals, and desires; and you're more of a puppet master, directing their movements, actions and the actions of those around them. That division between the player and the characters is done by the writers to tell a very carefully crafted story, while freeing them from the constraints of a single, focused perspective. In short, if done right, Narrative can be a powerful aesthetic that will really make the experience that much more enriching.
The fourth is Challenge. It's defined as game as obstacle course. In games, you find this in engaging to overcome arbitrary obstacles. You'll find this aesthetic at the heart of any Mario game, Call of Duty, Ikaruga, Angry Birds, Trials, Super Meat Boy, and Dark Souls. This is the hardest aesthetic to define for many people, because many designers define Challenge as "difficulty." Now, difficulty can be a dynamic that might help deliver on Challenge, but it is not the same thing. For example, XCOM uses Challenge as a core aesthetic, especially in Enemy Unknown. The game is all about strategizing and outsmarting the enemy. Now, there are difficulty settings to help deliver that aesthetic, but even on the easiest difficulty, Enemy Unknown is still a challenging game regardless of what difficulty you're playing on. Oh, and have fun with Ironman mode.
Not surprisingly, this avenue is rarely pursued by designers, because of the explosion of costs for developing games, and how much money goes into making these games. When you look at Call of Duty, they just reuse already existing assets, which in turn means that they aren't spending as much money on developing it as they are just using what they already have. However, there is one caveat that many designers and publishers think is true: they believe that easy games sell more than challenging ones. This is 100% false. In fact, it's so not true it's to the point of it being silly. Making a game as easy as the recent Prince of Persia is NOT going to sell as well as something like The Elder Scrolls or Portal. Why? Because they know that their game needs to be challenging enough to satisfy the audience that love a challenge, and those who just want to play.
The fifth is Fellowship. This is defined as game as social framework. These are games that give you the ability to work together to achieve a goal. Games that let you play in a pack or a group, that feeling of comradery, is used as a framework for Fellowship. Games like World of Warcraft, Team Fortress, Borderlands, Journey, and Dark Souls deliver on Fellowship as a core aesthetic.
In comparison to the next aesthetic below, Fellowship is a very, VERY powerful aesthetic to utilize, especially with the advent of the Internet. Fellowship can be a great way to experience a game with others. In the case of Borderlands, Team Fortress, World of Warcraft, Journey, and Dark Souls, where Fellowship is paired with another aesthetic to give the experience longevity, you can have a game with limitless replay ability.
We're also seeing games for the next generation of consoles utilizing what may end up being the Fellowship aesthetic, like Destiny, The Division, The Crew, and possibly Watch Dogs, where they're pushing online play with other aesthetics, some of which are discussed below.
The sixth is Competition. Professional designers heavily argue about this, but I'm including this in here. In the M.D.A. paper, they mentioned Competition, but don't formally define it. Many people define this as game as expression of dominance, bringing us together by dividing us against one another. There's something evolutionary and innate inside all of us, something that demands us to express our competence and dominance to other members of our species. Games that let us express this use Competition as a core aesthetic. Games like Team Fortress, Street Fighter, League of Legends, StarCraft, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, Demon's Souls, and World of Warcraft all fit in this criteria.
Ever since the explosion that was Call of Duty 4, games have started incorporating multiplayer to compete against the titan—even if most of the ones that tried failed miserably. In this day and age, single-player only games have seen a dramatic decline ever since Modern Warfare 1 and, to a lesser extent, Halo 2 took off with multiplayer paving the way for the future of gaming. But, as mentioned above, many of these games fall flat, because they try to create a Call of Duty clone, in the same way that most MMORPGs try to create a WoW clone.
We've seen the numbers before, but single-player completion rates have fallen ever since multiplayer went big. But as sad as that sounds, I think we'll see a unique approach to blending single-player and multiplayer into one. We've already this with Demon's Souls, and how revolutionary that became with creating a multiplayer experience within the single-player, rather than just placing a tab in the menu saying, "Multiplayer".
The seventh is Discovery. This is game as uncharted territory. It's all about uncovering the new. If you're coming back time and time again to discover what's left to find, that game uses Discovery as a core aesthetic. This can range from discovering new territory in The Elder Scrolls or World of Warcraft, recipes in MineCraft, discovering a new, shiny item in Diablo or Borderlands, or even discovering new systems, like new and emergent threats in Dwarf Fortress.
This is absolutely huge for games of tomorrow, especially with the next generation of consoles coming up. Discovery is 100% guaranteed to keep the player coming back for days, months, and even years on end. In this sense, we'll be seeing a lot of games using Discovery as a core aesthetic, because it's the most promising way to create a game that's replayable, other than shoehorning multiplayer into the mix. Most games these days are always super linear and don't offer much to replay it again. This was a big part of what happened to Remember Me.
A lot of designers believe that in order to create a game with tons of replay value, they have to create an MMO-like game, in essence, have it never end. In order to do this, they do things like creating procedurally generated loot, open-world environments, create an online experience for others to enjoy, etc. We're seeing this with not only next-gen games like Destiny, Watch Dogs, The Crew, and The Division, but also current-gen games like Saints Row IV, GTA V, Lightning Returns, and Dark Souls 2. Every game I mentioned now are all open-world in some regard, with Dark Souls 2 being an exception.
The eighth one is Expression. This is game as self-discovery. As human beings, we the innate desire to express ourselves. This is reflected in what clothes we wear, to the fact that we create art. Games can be a power tool for this. If it's a game that allows you to express a small part of yourself, you're fulfilling that need. Games like MineCraft, The Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex, Scribblenauts, Team Fortress, Fallout, and Mass Effect use Expression as a core aesthetic.
Another heavy hitting aesthetic, Expression is what many RPGs use to put the "role" in Role-Playing Game. Things like skill trees, the ability to respec your abilities, customization of gear, etc. are all vital to any RPG using Expression as a core aesthetic. But, it's not just limited to RPGs. It can also be a part of other games too, like creating monuments or statues in MineCraft. That's totally an expression of self, right there. Or customizing the way your character looks and plays, either to create a gameplay style that's unique to you, or to make your character look the way you want them to look, is absolutely essential in creating an experience that gives players the tools needed to create something that they want to make.
And finally, the ninth aesthetic: Submission. For the sake of brevity, let's change this to Abnegation, because Submission is a really strange term to define this aesthetic. This is defined as game as past time. Have you ever had one of those days where you came home from a long day of school or work and you just slumped down on the couch and watched a re-run of an old, junk food TV series, or read a lame fantasy novel, because it was easy and didn't require much from you? Or you look at your game collection and pop in that old RPG again, just to finish a quest or two. You're in the middle of a great game, but you feel it would require too much from you and you'd rather grind a few levels. That's the root desire known as Abnegation. In games, you find this in grinding; you find this in any Skinner Box game. Games like World of Warcraft, endless mode in Bejeweled, MineCraft, Final Fantasy, and Angry Birds use Abnegation as a core aesthetic.
This is a primary aesthetic used in any and all MMORPGs to prevent players from leaving the game and moving on to a new, shiny game. Combine that with the monthly subscription and/or microtransactions and you'll have players paying you by the billions, as evidenced by WoW. They generally increase the amount of time needed to acquire a new, shiny piece of gear or drastically increase the amount of experience needed to level up once. It's to keep them playing, while still making money from the people who are still playing their game.
But it's not excluded to just MMORPGs. It's also in games like Angry Birds, where you can just pull out your phone and just play to pass the time. For instance, you could be in a friend's car and you could be playing Angry Birds while your friend drives. Or you could be on a lunch break and you could start playing it right there. It's a great way to pass the time, and it doesn't require much from you.
So, now that that's out of the way, what does all this mean, and what does this have to do with genres? Well, if you really think about it, you'll find that almost every game can be defined by two, three, maybe four of these aesthetics. However, there are some games that can deliver on more; games that are so massive, they figuratively have multiple games bundled into one executable. For example, MineCraft can easily deliver on more than four aesthetics, and it's one of the main reasons why it's been such a great success. Sensation. Challenge. Expression. Fellowship. Discovery. Abnegation. All of these are core aesthetics of MineCraft. But there are multiple games inside MineCraft. The people playing in Creative mode are playing an entirely different game from the people playing in Survival mode.
And it's important to realize that aesthetics aren't there to articulate why we come to a genre or a game, but also in understanding what the game's genre is. It's the subconscious guide and reasoning that tells us that Portal is more of a puzzle game than a shooter. It's what tells us that Final Fantasy is more focused on delivering a strong narrative than on the gameplay or the role-playing aspects. It's what helps us describe why we play a certain game or genre in the first place, and I think we should talk about it more often, because when we start defining a genre based on mechanics, all sorts of bad game design will come out of that.
See you, Space Cowboys.

Wait. If you're a One Direction fan, the chances are high that you've never heard that song before in your life. Well, basically it's a sad song about remembering something you loved. Your generation's version is probably like, Taylor Swift 's "All Too Well" or something. (Sidenote: that song is so damn good, you guys).
Anyway, since today is the one year anniversary of Zayn Malik leaving One Direction in the dust, aka Z-Day, we thought we'd check in on the fandom and see how you guys are doing.
Last year on this day, the Internet looked a lot like this when Zayn announced he was leaving One Direction:
And now? Well, we trolled the ##1YearWithoutZayn hashtag and found that while people were still emotional about the anniversary of Zayn's departure, a lot of people had finally moved on and accepted the new way of life as a One Direction/Zayn fan.
Look at the positive attitudes on Twitter, everyone! That's a sentence we don't say every day. Or ever really.

We saw a lot of growth on Twitter within the 1D fanbase. Last year everything was on fire. And now? Most of them are doing just fine. Turns out, it was not the end of the world.
But there are definitely those who are still fighting through some anger and sadness. And that's OK. It took us forever to get over 'N Sync breaking up. And that was over a decade ago! We're still not over it, tbh. Damn you, Justin Timberlake and your solo career!

Honestly, we were sure that Twitter would just be full of 1D fans crying and mourning and wondering how on earth they were going to get through this day. We were pleasantly surprised to see that for the most part, y'all have moved on.
Cheers, Directioners. Congrats on surviving the year! Now, does anyone want to hug us as we continue to sob about 'N SYNC's breakup? We're getting emotional again over here!

After revelations of its unconventional deals surfaced in July 2002, Time Warner conducted an internal investigation of AOL and turned over millions of pages of documents to the government. The company eventually restated $190 million in AOL revenue from questionable ad deals with other firms. Later, Time Warner restated financial results from AOL Europe after regulators complained that the Internet company had tried to shield the parent company from its losses.
The SEC's chief accountant has accused both Time Warner and AOL of improperly counting $400 million from German media giant Bertelsmann AG as AOL ad revenue when some of the money reflected payments for other purposes. Without admitting or denying wrongdoing, Time Warner agreed to adopt the SEC's suggestion for accounting for the transactions. Time Warner also agreed to restate a $30 million from two other advertising deals involving AOL and its customers.
Further restatements may be required, depending on the outcome of an independent review to be conducted of "a limited number" of AOL advertising deals from 1999 to 2002, the company said in a filing with the SEC.
Also, Time Warner's chief financial officer, Wayne H. Pace, and two other Time Warner finance executives involved in the Bertelsmann accounting would be subject to administrative proceedings under the proposed SEC settlement.
Pace and the others would neither admit nor deny wrongdoing under the proposal, and would continue to work for Time Warner in their current jobs.
The investigations have taken their toll on Time Warner. America Online became such a liability that the "AOL" was scratched from the parent company's corporate name. AOL co-founder Stephen M. Case resigned as chairman of the merged company (he remains a member of the board of directors) and AOL became a mere division, even though the Internet firm originally had used its stock to buy Time Warner.
With the number of AOL Internet service subscribers dropping, the company is trying to make its AOL.com site attractive to a broader audience of Web users. AOL plans to sell ads and various services on the revamped site.
Jonathan F. Miller, chief executive of the America Online unit, took solace in the fact that the company survived the long-running investigation, which some had predicted would bring about its demise, particularly given its underlying business troubles.
Miller said he thought the settlement would effectively resolve the criminal investigation of AOL.
"We will work with the independent monitor appointed as part of our agreement with the Department of Justice," Miller wrote to AOL employees. "In short, we will do what it takes to make sure that AOL puts this matter behind us with contrition and resolve."

Mike Gordon 3/5/11
The McDonald Theatre, Eugene, OR
Words by thenaturalstoner
Since this would be my third Mike Gordon show in a few months, you would think I would know what to expect heading into the venue. Problem is the last two Mike shows I saw were like Jekyll and Hyde. I had a blast at the Portland (Aladdin Theatre) show in November, while my expectations for the next night in Seattle fell a bit flat (the Crocodile Cafe sucked that night). So obviously I was hoping for more Portland than Seattle this go around. And I got what I wanted…
The whole show last night was fun. A long first set with tons of jams led to a great 2nd set and an unexpected Mound encore. Funky Bitch > Andelmans' Yard was a blast to open set 2 and the whole night was just great. The venue was cool (this is only my 2nd show in Eugene, first in probably 10 years) and you can't beat getting Ninkasi beers while watching Gordo jam!!

The workhorse running back has largely gone away in recent years, making those backs that are their team's clear-cut No. 1 option all the more valuable to fantasy football owners on draft day. But there are plenty of dreaded committee backfields that will frustrate fantasy owners, and the New Orleans Saints are once again lined up to cause anyone that owns one of their backs to pull their hair out on a weekly basis.
In nearly every fantasy publication I have seen this preseason, Darren Sproles is the highest-ranked Saints' running back, followed closely by Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas in some order. But is Sproles overrated heading into the season?
First, let's take a look at Sproles' rushing yardage totals from the 13 games he played in last season: 0, 0, 62, 20, 9, 27, -1, 0, 0, 56, 22, 48, 1.
For those of you scoring at home that's five games with zero or negative rushing yardage, and only three with more than 40 yards on the ground. To be fair, his two highest single-game carry totals yielded two of those three 40-plus yard rushing performances, and the third was in a game where he tied for his third-most carries in a game last season.
Sproles was a stud in PPR leagues once again in 2012, with 75 receptions for 667 yards and seven touchdowns. He only had one game without a catch, and had less than five catches on two other occasions. Owners in leagues that reward return yardage also got some added value out of Sproles, as he had 666 combined kickoff and punt return yards.
The Saints had the fourth-fewest rush attempts in the NFL last season (370), a number that will surely rise in 2013 with head coach Sean Payton back in the fold and a defense that can only be better under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. The Saints' offense clearly revolves around quarterback Drew Brees and a deep group of pass catchers, which includes Sproles, but a more balanced offense is something Payton is likely to seek this year.
Sproles has a predictable and defined role in the Saints' offense, which on it's own eliminates some of the downside for fantasy owners. But with so few carries (4.7 per game in two years with the Saints) and thus low rushing yardage potential, his upside is limited. If New Orleans runs the ball more this year, that should mean more carries for Ingram and Thomas and theoretically fewer overall opportunities for Sproles.
Depending on the source you look at, Sproles has generally been somewhere around the 20th running back off the board in fantasy drafts. That may be about right from a certain perspective, but only in PPR leagues and under the presumption he is able to catch the number of passes he has over the past two seasons with New Orleans (161 total). I expect a drop in receptions for Sproles this year, to somewhere in the 50-60 range, and with his catch total the driving force for his fantasy value there are plenty of backs I'd rather own.

Beaches in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta beach
Puerto Vallarta is blessed with over 25 miles of golden shoreline and more than forty different beaches. From the isolated, hidden and secluded to the developed, urbanized and crowded, a broad variety of beaches await you.
The city beaches are usually bustling with crowds of people and endless activities. They are filled with an assortment of restaurants, hotels, sunbathing spots, and al fresco café's. The beaches to the north are much less crowded compared to the city beaches and are recommended for surfing activities. Meanwhile, the beaches to the south are also not overly crowded and are good for swimming and snorkeling.
Although every beach in Puerto Vallarta has something unique and distinct about it, some beaches tend to be more popular than others. The busiest and most popular amongst Puerto Vallarta's beaches is Playa de Los Muertos. Located near the downtown area, it offers its guests several different cafes and restaurants lining its shores, as well as a variety of watersports and activities.
Quimixto Beach - Puerto Vallarta
El Anclote beach - Puerto Vallarta
Mismaloya beach is another well-known beach, particularly because it was the location site of the movie The Night of the Iguana, an adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play. Snorkeling is very popular along its southern edge, although almost all kinds of watersports and activities are available here.
El Anciote Beach is a good place to anchor yachts and small boats. It is also an excellent place for surfing because of its constant waves.
Islas Marietas is located just a bit off the shore and is a preferred destination for snorkeling and diving. The waters surrounding the islands are abundant in marine life, such as giant manta rays, humpback whales and sea turtles.
Quimixto Beach is a favorite diving spot and is only accessible by boat. It features an authentic Mexican villa, which was made for John Houston, the director of the film The Night of the Iguana. The beach is also home to impressive waterfalls surrounded by lush vegetation.
Lastly, Playa Los Arcos is probably the best beach for scuba-diving and snorkeling. It offers its visitors a unique underwater national marine park featuring an amazing world of underwater caves, rock formations and marine life.
Whether you want a relaxing time on the beach or a trip packed with activities, you're sure to find the perfect spot in Puerto Vallarta!

Reaper's Property(117)By: Joanna Wylde
"Wait," Horse said. "Tell me about the Jacks. I miss anything?"
"Nothing yet," Picnic replied. "We'll keep an eye on them, this is just getting started. War's coming. Doubt your girl'll be their target though. Not worth their time to range this far out of their territory if they aren't getting paid."
Horse heard the room door open, and the sounds of a busy hallway behind it.
"Hey, Picnic, I just went down to grab a drink," Dancer said as she walked in. Horse managed to open his eyes again and look at her. She froze, eyes wide, then her face exploded in a huge smile as she rushed over to him. She leaned over to give him a hug, pulling back at the last minute with a grimace. Thank god for that, a hug right now and he'd probably need another gallon of whatever painkiller they'd given him. "Horse! I'm sorry I wasn't here when you woke up. How do you feel? Can he talk?"
"You look like shit," Horse said. "What's wrong with you?"
"My brother got shot, you douche," she said. "I thought you were going to die. Marie saved your life, did he tell you that?"
"Yeah," Horse said, closing his eyes again. Damn he was tired.
"Fuckin' pansy," Picnic said, and Horse heard him laugh, as if from a distance. "Damn woman had to protect him, lazy asshole wouldn't even get up off the ground. Dripping blood, making a mess…"
Horse opened his mouth to tell him to fuck off, but before the words came he was out again.

I wanted to create personalised prints that would be totally unique to each person. A gift that would be `Different By Design`
I design and create amazing unusual word art pictures personalised only with YOUR words for a stunning and unique gift for all ages and occasions.
Having always been a crafter from a young age I tried many different crafts and loved them all. With word art I put my love of words and art together and it has become an all consuming passion to create wonderful pictures, each one completely unique to each person, truly a `One of a Kind` gift.
I love the challenge of trying to create something completely new to those I have already made. Many of the most popular pictures are those originally created by request from customers.
I try to create pictures that have movement and are different to the usual ones available.
Each one is created individually for you, the proofs takes 4 hours minimum often more, plus extra for any changes to be made. You are paying not only for the finished print, but for the time and expertise needed to make this a unique and perfect gift.

Also known as brake override, the change involves modifying existing electronic controls to reduce power to the engine in cases where the brake and accelerator pedal are being simultaneously depressed.
General Motors says that brake override is an additional safeguard to the braking performance standard GM has had for several years, applicable to all cars, trucks and crossovers, requiring that the brakes can stop the vehicle within a specific distance.
2011 Honda CR-ZEnlarge Photo
Honda announced two years ago that it was committed to applying "Brake Priority Logic" on 100 percent of all Honda and Acura passenger vehicles with automatic transmissions, with the first application coming to market in August of 2010. The vehicle was the all-new hybrid-only subcompact car, the 2011 Honda CR-Z. For the remainder of the 2011 model year, about half of Honda and Acura vehicles had the system. For 2012, the system, which Honda now calls Brake/Throttle Override, is on all Honda and Acura vehicles.
How the system works is explained to buyers in Honda and Acura vehicle owner's manuals, but here's a brief summary. The Brake/Throttle Override function applied to Honda and Acura models monitors the electronic throttle control (accelerator pedal) output signal. If that signal becomes static (meaning stuck) AND then the brake pedal is applied, after 0.1 seconds the throttle will be gradually reduced to near idle level over the course of about one-half second.
Ed Miller, Honda spokesman, tells The Car Connection that Honda chose to have a less abrupt throttle system than some other systems in the market. "The one-half second is quite noticeable to the driver, but we judge it to be less unsettling, so the driver can recognize the vehicle is slowing down due to reduction of engine power, but does not confuse the condition with a stalled engine," said Miller.
Brake/Throttle Override is not applied to vehicles with manual transmissions because Honda believes that clutch is sufficient to allow the driver to decouple the engine power from the driven wheels.
2010 Kia OptimaEnlarge Photo
In addition to Hyundai, corporate sibling Kia also now has brake throttle override technology standard across all model lines. Kia calls its system "smart pedal" technology and the automaker began implementing it 2010 on the 2010 Forte, Optima, Rondo and Sedona and the 2011 Sorento.
See how our editors rate the 2012 Kia Optima in this review.
The smart pedal system monitors and corrects for simultaneous application of both the brake and the accelerator. In such a case, the brakes override accelerator input and revert the engine/RPM to "idle" status. There is no difference in how the system works between manual and automatic transmission-equipped vehicles.
2011 Mazda MAZDA2 TouringEnlarge Photo
When Mazda launched the 2011 Mazda2 subcompact car in the U.S., its press material indicated that this was the first Mazda in the U.S. market to have brake-throttle override technology. All 2012 Mazda vehicles now have brake-throttle override as standard equipment. Mazda doesn't have any different name for it.
Mazda's brake-throttle override system works based on a signal from the brake pedal switch. If it detects a conflict where the car's computer is receiving signals from both the accelerator and the brakes, the brakes take precedence. Brake-throttle override works on all vehicles, regardless of transmission or starting systems.
2012 Mercedes-Benz C-ClassEnlarge Photo
Mercedes-Benz started introducing "smart pedal technology" or "brake override system" in its vehicles as early as 2002 in the S600 and CL600. It is now in 100 percent of all Mercedes-Benz and Smart vehicles.
According to Mercedes-Benz, when the brake pedal is pressed and the accelerator pedal remains engaged, the electronic signal propelling the car is interrupted, and the vehicle is automatically slowed to idle.
There is no difference in general function of the smart pedal technology between manual and automatic transmission. Also, how the engine is started or stopped (e.g. key fob or push-button) does not influence the smart pedal technology function.
Check out our comprehensive review of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C Class.
2011 Mitsubishi Outlander SportEnlarge Photo
The phase-in of Brake Override in Mitsubishi vehicles began in 2010 with the 2011 Outlander Sport and was added as a running change in December 2010 to the rest of the lineup (except Endeavor). As of the 2012 model year, all Mitsubishi vehicles are equipped with the brake override system as standard equipment, regardless of whether manual, automatic or push-button start.
The Mitsubishi brake override system works by monitoring both the throttle pedal sensor and brake sensor. In the event that both the brake pedal and the throttle pedal are applied at the same time, the system will automatically override the throttle pedal, giving the brake pedal priority.

A tiny version of a California icon went missing from the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum in White Pines.
A handmade replica of Sutter's Mill, famed for its proximity to the 1848 discovery that launched the California Gold Rush, was apparently stolen sometime between the museum's closure Friday afternoon and its re-opening Saturday morning from outside the museum entrance.
A call to the Calaveras County Office reported it missing at 12:10 p.m. on Saturday.
"We don't know who would steal that thing. it's just unique. I don't think you can sell it," said Ginny Kafka, the museum's vice president. "It'd be really nice if the word gets out there and everybody's mad at whoever took it and maybe he'll bring it back."
A $250 reward is being offered for the replica mill's return.
"It sat there for eight or nine years … a man that passed away gave it to us, did it for us so that makes it even worse," Kafka said. "Someone said Bill Dyer is turning in his grave."
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to call the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office at 754-6500.

But first, we want to talk about that congressional ethics investigation. It has tarnished and may even end the more than 40 yearlong career of New York Democratic Congressman Charlie Rangel. He's been accused of failing to declare, let alone pay taxes on more than a quarter million dollars worth of assets and of misusing his office to raise money for a private center that is named for him at City College of New York. So far Congressman Rangel has expressed confidence that he will be exonerated as he did in a Capitol Hill press conference on Friday.
(Soundbite of press conference)
Representative CHARLES RANGEL (Democrat, New York): This is going to be done before my primary election, before the general election under light of a public explanation of what they have found as a result of the investigation will be made public.
MARTIN: A House Ethics Subcommittee is expected to outline the case surrounding Congressman Rangel later this week. But we wanted to know more, so we've called NPR's political editor Ken Rudin. He's with us now. Welcome back, Ken. Thank you for joining us.
KEN RUDIN: Hi, Michel.
MARTIN: So what is the process here?
RUDIN: The process is that the House Ethics Committee has already decided that there's a substantial reason to believe that he did Congressman Rangel violated the House ethics. So on Thursday there will be a subcommittee of the Ethics Committee that will publicly announce the charges and we assume as you said earlier that these are the charges that's been around for at least two years. That Charlie Rangel from the beginning has said that he just did not violate.
MARTIN: And of course the committee has to issue this report. But can you just give us a sense of what we think the charges will be?
RUDIN: Well, we think that he I mean he traveled. He took a little junket, a corporate sponsored trip down to the Caribbean, which is in violation of House rules. He had the use of four rent stabilized apartments in Harlem, including one for campaign headquarters that's way below market price. He owned some property a Dominican Republic villa that, as you say, not only refused to report income, but didn't pay taxes on.
And this is somebody who was for the longest time was the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee which writes the tax laws in this country. So the Democrats came to Congress in 2006, came to power in 2006, campaigning against the Republican culture of corruption. We heard about Mark Foley and Bob Ney and Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff and those guys Duke Cunningham. And they won control of Congress partially on this argument that the Republicans were corrupt.
The last thing the Democrats want is the picture of Charlie Rangel in every Republican ad around the country saying this is the Democrats. These are the Democrats who are corrupt. Charlie Rangel has also given a lot of money. He's, you know, a tremendous fundraiser, given money to House and Senate Democratic candidates and Republicans are demanding that these guys give the money back. So a lot of Democrats are nervous about the implications of what this could mean for November.
MARTIN: What then happens? Does this is this conducted like a trial? Both sides present evidence and who is the ultimate deciding body about whether or not these charges will stick?
RUDIN: Right. It is a trial and the last time we saw this it was 2002 with James Traficant the Ohio then a Democrat, now he's an Independent. But Jim Traficant, who was, you know, convicted on sort of ethics and corruption charges. He was expelled from Congress the first one since Abscam to be expelled from Congress and only the second since the Civil War.
So, anyway, they would have a public trail. Charlie Rangel could defend himself. He can call witnesses. He could bring other evidence. But, again, the Democrats really, really don't want to get to that.
MARTIN: What has he said about this so far? He's already been forced to step aside as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.
RUDIN: After he said he wouldn't as a matter fact, he said for the longest time he would not resign as chairman. Nancy Pelosi, for the longest time, speaker Nancy Pelosi said that there's no reason for him to give it up. But behind the scenes it's understood, as my understanding, that Nancy Pelosi, some of the senior Democrats in the House say, look, you had to resign from Ways and Means because it was getting ugly. And I think similar pressure is going on Charlie Rangel right now.
MARTIN: And obviously there are several audiences here. One is his peers in Congress, one is a larger Democratic Party and then there are his constituents. What do we know about how they are responding to this so far?
RUDIN: Well...
MARTIN: He has a primary challenge.
RUDIN: He does.
MARTIN: Which he has not had for quite some time.
RUDIN: He does.
MARTIN: A former aide, by the way. But...
RUDIN: Not only a former aide, but the son of the guy he defeated in 1970, Adam Clayton Powell, a state assemblyman, Adam Clayton Powell IV, who ran against Charlie Rangel back in '94 and got clobbered, is running against him again in the September 14th Democratic primary.
Charles Rangel has no problem with the folks back home. He's very, very popular. They love him. You know, he, he's always been Charlie. He's been in Congress since 1970. It's never been Charles Rangel. It's Charlie, he's, you know, a hand shaking, back slapping kind of politician, very, very popular. And there are four Democrats challenging him in the primaries. How even if, you know, they all get some amount of the vote, nobody's going to do enough to topple them in the primary.
MARTIN: Well, we'll see. Ken Rudin, keep us posted.
RUDIN: Thanks, Michel.
MARTIN: All right, Ken Rudin is NPR's political editor. You can find his blog Political Junkie at NPR.org. He was with us in our Washington, D.C. studio. Thanks, Ken.

When the phrase, 'I'm lucky', should be banned
"My 11-month-old wakes so many times in the night! I'm exhausted and nothing I do works, any tips or anyone else experienced this?"
You will inevitably find a response like, "I'm lucky, we never had this problem, mine have always slept 7-7"
Why? Why say it? Why do people feel the need to share their 'luck' in this situation when another is desperately trying to find others that relate?

The Cape star Summer Glau has revealed that her new character Orwell is different to roles she has played in the past.
The actress found fame as the troubled River Tam in Joss Whedon's Firefly and later played Cameron in Fox series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Glau told KSiteTV: "I've always played kind of kick-ass girls, but Orwell's different, because she's on her own completely, and she obviously has a lot of resources that none of my other characters have had before, which is really fun."
The show sees investigative blogger Orwell team up with superhero The Cape to face off against crime and corruption in Palm City.
"I'm really exploring how it feels to play someone who really seems to have no fear," said Glau. "She's going for it, going after these corporations and powerful men, and it's different."
She explained that the series itself also contains certain elements that set it apart from other shows.
"I love the quality of hope and the quality of humour in it," she said.
The Cape - which also stars David Lyons as the titular hero - has been commissioned by NBC as a midseason replacement.

NOTE: This program requires mswinsck.ocx
There are alot of things to set up in order for this code to work correctly. Here are the complete list of things you will need to do:
1. Add the mswinsck.ocx to your project
2. Create a textbox and name it txtHost This will be the box where the remote host is entered
3. Create a textbox and name it txtLocalP.This will be the box where the local port is entered
4. Create a textbox and name it txtRemotePThis will be the box where the remote port is entered
5. Create a textbox and name it txtNick This will be the box you will enter your nickname (aka screenname)
6. Create a textbox and name it txtSend This will be the box you type in to send stuff to the chatroom
7. Create a large textbox and name it txtMainThis will be the chatroom
8. Make txtMain multiline and also add vertical scrollbars
9. Create a command button and name it cmdC. Give it the caption ";Connect";
10. Create a command button and name it cmdD. Give it the caption ";Disconnect";
11. Create a command button and name it cmdSend. Give it the caption ";Send";. This will be the button that sends the text in txtSend to the chatroom.
12. Put a winsock control on the form and name it sckSend
13. Labels can be put so you can remember which text box is which. Also, it would be best to erase all the text in the text boxes (ie: Get rid of Text1 written in the box)
When 2 people have the program running, this is how you connect:
1. First, enter a nickname in the txtNick box. This is the name that will come before what you say in the chatroom.
2. In the txtHost textbox, you must put the other persons IP address or hostname.
3. You and the other person must both think up any number to be your local port (Just make sure theyre different numbers. ie: My local port is 1000, my friends local port is 2000)
4. After youve both made up your local host and entered it in the txtLocalP textbox, you must next enter the other persons local port in your txtRemoteP textbox. For example, My local port is 1000. and my remote port is 2000... My friends local port would be 2000 and my friendss remote port would be 1000.
5. Both of you must now click the connect button.
6. Now just type text in the txtSend textbox and click the ";Send"; button. You will notice the text moved into the chatroom. This text is visible by both people! Congratulations!

Raleigh International Graduate Scheme Profile
Who we are:
Raleigh International is a sustainable development charity. We inspire communities and young people around the world to create lasting change.
Raleigh International is one of 12 development organisations who deliver the government funded International Citizen Service Programme (ICS). ICS brings together young people to make a difference in some of the poorest communities in the world.
We are looking for volunteers to join the International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. ICS is a once-in-a-lifetime volunteering opportunity open to all 18-25 year olds. The programme is led by VSO and funded by the UK government. ICS is delivered by respected development organisations, of which Raleigh is one.
With Raleigh ICS you could spend 10-12 weeks in Nepal, Nicaragua or Tanzania working to improve people's access to safe water and sanitation, or supporting women and young people to set up local businesses and improve their livelihoods.
Case Study
Ellie, 22, volunteered with ICS in Nicaragua
"I applied to Raleigh ICS a few months after finishing university. Torn between the desire to travel and needing to find a graduate job, the idea of experiencing life in a completely different environment whilst working on a sustainability project seemed like the perfect way for me to spend the next part of my life.
For me, one of my biggest challenges was explaining to my friends and family exactly what it was that I would be doing and why I was jetting off to a remote village in rural Nicaragua for ten weeks. I've often thought that volunteering receives a bad name in the UK, and I was worried people would assume this trip I was taking was simply a cheap excuse to travel and have a holiday, or simply put off looking for a 'real' job.
Starting my placement with Raleigh I realised that this certainly wasn't the case. Raleigh has a core focus on sustainability and you spend the entirety of the project in the same assigned area, alongside like-minded volunteers keen to learn about the world. Yet the first week was still challenging for me. Living in a Spanish-speaking community, with only the very basics of the language and little knowledge about international development, my doubts began to creep in once again. I was placed on a Natural Resources Management project, in a village called Los Martinez, with the target of forming a dedicated committee made up of community members to help manage the maintenance of a Gravity Water System, which we would be helping to build. I felt as though I needed an MA in Development, a month's training in infrastructure and a few Spanish courses to be of any use.
Despite this, barely two weeks later I realised that all the relevant degrees in the world wouldn't have automatically meant I was going to connect with the people of Los Martinez and understand their needs. By sleeping in their homes, sharing their food and living as they did every day, I understood not only that anyone can help internationally, but also that there is no clear blueprint set out for people who want to help developing countries. Right now, it's all relative. Placed in a group with other volunteers I didn't know I learnt to work with and form friendships with people I would have once thought I could not.
ICS has built me as a person because I have learned to accept that the work of volunteers and development is still in the stages of development itself. But with Raleigh you tackle one of the most important aspects of the process - understanding and connecting with the people you want to help in the first place. Finishing our project was even more satisfying because we worked with the community throughout and I was really able to live their lives for a small time and in turn, get to grips with their needs. In the same way I was sceptical about how I could really make an impact in Los Martinez, I once thought that making a difference at home was impossible, i.e. living a more sustainable lifestyle. I assumed my efforts to help others and the environment would simply go unnoticed. Now I know that all I have to do is start small - understand what I am capable of changing, for example where I shop, being conscious of which products I buy and how ethical they are. If you want to make a difference you have to start somewhere simple, otherwise the concept of trying to 'save the world' will be sure to overwhelm.
I now work as a Marketing and PR Assistant for a company called Investors in People, that sits within the Department of Education. I work to help organisations implement good people management structures, focusing on health and well-being of staff, equal employment opportunities and learning and development. Volunteering with Raleigh influenced my decision to work for a company that promotes better working lives and ultimately a more progressive society. As an active citizen I believe we all have a responsibility to contribute positively to the society in which we live - using whatever skills we have and whatever position we are in - in my case creative marketing and public relations!"
Thousands of people have already created lasting change with ICS.
Will you challenge yourself to change your world?

Your house has been nice and toasty all winter and now, all of a sudden, your furnace has stopped working. It always seems like these types of appliances break down at the worst possible time! So what do you do when your furnace stops working while you're waiting for furnace repair? Twin Cities winters are brutally cold and snowy, so here are a few tips on what to check before you call us for furnace repair and how to stay warm until we can come out and fix it.
There are a few things you can check on your own before calling us for furnace repair. You should check to make sure the furnace is getting power. Check the circuit breaker to make sure a fuse didn't blow. If that doesn't work, then check the furnace's filter. If it's been awhile since you changed it, then you should get a new one as soon as possible. Finally, if those two other fixes don't work, check your thermostat to make sure it is set to the right temperature.
If these three fixes fail, then that is when you should pick up the phone and call us for furnace repair. We offer emergency services, so we can come to your home quickly to get your furnace back up and running.
In the meantime, while you are waiting for us, there are several things you and your family can to do stay warm:
- Do not open any doors or windows unless it is absolutely necessary. This sounds fairly obvious, but it is definitely one of the best ways to make sure your house stays warm while you're waiting for furnace repair.
- If your home has a fireplace, you can use that to stay warm. Just be sure that you have a working carbon monoxide detector. Light a fire and snuggle up with your family. It's a great way to spend some time together while you're waiting for furnace repair.
- Dress in layers. The more layers you have on, the better. That way, if you start to feel overheated, you can remove a few layers until you are comfortable again.
- If you have any space heaters, plug one in and close the door to that room. If the door is closed, the room should heat up faster and stay pretty comfortable while you're waiting for furnace repair.
Do you need furnace repair in the Twin Cities? Call Aabbott Ferraro at (651) 776-7214 or Schedule Your Repair Appointment.
