text: I purchased my evo on the Sprint release date and have had random lagging issues since owning it. Most recently, I've been able to run a terminal emulator and/or adb to get access to 'top'. It seems that the situation most often (but not always) occurs when mediaserver is active (playing mp3's or connected to a2dp Bluetooth). Although sometimes it occurs while my phone is off and I notice it when I power the screen on. The UI becomes extremely sluggish. When I run top, a few pids are taking up ~2-4% but most are idle. System and user CPU are low but IOW is 60-80%. It stays like this until I reboot the phone or kill off none system processes with quick sys info. I can't seem to pin it to one or a few processes....killing different pids at different times brings IOW down to 0 eventually....which makes me think it's a transient hardware issue or a kernel/memory management issue. I'd normally use pidstat or iotop to get more info...but they're not available on Android. I tried echoing 1 into block_dump under /proc to get more info on what pids are doing all the i/o but I don't have permissions.

The present invention is related to Satellite Cellular Telephone and Data Communication System, filed on Sep. 3, 1991 and having U.S. Ser. No. 752,983. The patent application is assigned to the assignee of the present invention.
The present invention pertains to mobile communications and, more particularly, to an improved satellite cellular telephone and data communication system.
In some conventional satellite communication systems, satellites or nodes orbit earth in a polar orbit. That is, the satellites orbit around earth in an orbit that crosses over the north and south poles. Although satellites in a polar orbit provide coverage over the entire earth, two problems exist.
First, polar-orbiting satellites create a counter-rotating seam. A counter-rotating seam is created by satellites travelling in opposite directions. For example, suppose satellites orbit from the south pole to the north pole. Once they pass the north pole, the satellites begin travelling in the opposite direction. Namely, the satellites then travel from the north pole to the south pole (i.e., the other half of the orbit). After passing the south pole, the satellites travel again in an upward direction toward the north pole. Thus, the counter-rotating seam is created by some satellites which are travelling on one-half of the orbit passing other satellites which are travelling on the other half of the orbit. The counter-rotating seam creates a problem of how to establish and maintain communication between satellites travelling in opposite directions.
Second, although polar-orbiting satellites optimize coverage for single satellite coverage for the entire earth, dual beam coverage may require doubling the number of satellites or adding more capability to the satellites themselves. However, doubling the number of satellites and adding more capability to a satellite significantly increases the cost of the system. Also, more weight is usually added to a satellite whenever the capability is increased.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a low-earth orbiting multiple satellite cellular communication system which eliminates a counter-rotating seam and provides continuous dual communication coverage over most of the earth.
FIG. 1 depicts a highly simplified diagram of a satellite-based communication system of which the present invention may form a portion thereof;
FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram depicting the interconnection of the satellite switching units with its association mobile users and interconnection to the public switched telephone network;
FIG. 3 shows dual beam coverage on areas served by a cellular satellite switch constellation about the earth;
FIG. 4 shows constellation geometry for determining spacing between satellites in the same orbital plane and between satellites in different orbital planes;
FIGS. 5-6 show satellite points and a time sequence of a satellite constellation in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 7 shows a block diagram of a data base arrangement for a satellite cellular communication system.
Referring to FIG. 1, a highly simplified satellite configuration for an improved satellite cellular telephone communication system is shown. In this configuration, a number of satellites are shown in a low-earth orbit. A number of satellites are placed in each of the orbiting planes which is inclined at approximately 60� and provides continuous dual satellite switching coverage for most of the earth except for a few regions around the north and south poles. The satellites interface directly among a number of cellular telephone and data transmission equipped users and also interfaces these users to the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
This satellite cellular structure is somewhat analogous to present day cellular mobile telephone systems. In the current, terrestrial-based cellular systems, cellular sites are fixed and users are mobile. As a user travels from one cell site to another, his telephone call is handed off from one cellular switching unit to another.
In the present invention, users are relatively fixed at any given time while the satellites, which are the cells, are in continuous movement. With a hand-held or mobile mounted cellular telephone, connection to one of the satellite switches shown in FIG. 1 is made directly from the hand-held mobile mounted or remotely fixed telephone to one of the nearest satellite switches. Each satellite is moving about the earth. As the satellite which originally acted as the switching unit for a particular user leaves a cell of that switch, the user's call is "handed off" to the appropriate adjacent cell. Adjacent cells may be cells within one satellite or cells of other satellites located either in a particular orbiting plane or an adjacent orbiting plane. Users may "roam", but this roaming distance is relatively small compared to the traveling distance of the satellite switches.
Similar to the cellular mobile telephone system, the satellite cellular communication system provides spectral efficiency. This means that the same frequency may be simultaneously used by different satellite switches. Spectral efficiency is provided by the spatial diversity between the satellite switches and users.
The users may be located anywhere on a land mass, on the water or in the air at an altitude less than that of the low-earth orbiting satellites. For example, a person on one land mass could call a person on another land mass, a person on a boat or a person in an aircraft.
Low power hand-held mobile mounted or fixed radio telephones may be used in this system. The power requirement is less than 10 watts with present technology.
In this system, each satellite shown is a switching unit. Most conventional satellite communication systems act primarily as a relay station or "bent pipe". That is, they provide fixed point-to-point communications or communication from one point on earth, through the satellite to another point on earth. Conventional satellite communication systems lack the ability to communication with another satellite either in the same orbital plane or another orbital plane. In the present invention, a switching function is provided within each of the orbiting satellites so that satellites are able to communicate with satellites in the same orbital plane and satellites in different orbital planes.
As previously mentioned, each of the orbiting planes of the satellites is inclined at an angle of sixty degrees in the preferred embodiment. Orbiting satellite planes with higher and lower inclinations are workable. Continuous dual satellite coverage over most of the earth can be guaranteed by decreasing or increasing the altitude of the orbital plane relative to the angle of inclination. Satellites orbiting earth at the preferred inclined angle of 60� provide continuous dual coverage over most of the earth. Coverage is sporadic or non-existent over the north and south poles or is not guaranteed above the 80�-85� latitude.
In a preferred embodiment, it was found that continuous dual satellite coverage could be accomplished with eighty-one (81) low- earth orbiting satellites. These satellites could be arranged in nine (9) sixty degree inclined orbiting planes, nine (9) satellites per plane. Other configurations could be used, such as an eight-by-eight or seven-by-seven configurations. However, the altitude of the satellites would have to be adjusted to account for different sizes of the cell for constellations having fewer or more satellites than the preferred nine-by-nine satellite constellation.
Each satellite contains a satellite switching unit, suitable antennas 11 (helical antennas for up/down links and lenses for cross links, for example) and an unfolding array of solar cells 12 along with storage batteries (not shown) connected to the solar cells to provide power for the switching unit. The satellite buses or vehicles themselves are low-earth orbiting satellites such as are commercially available. The satellites are put into orbit by a launching vehicle. When in orbit, the solar cell array is opened and the switching unit thereby activated. The satellites are then individually brought on line via standard telemetry, tracking and control (TT&C) channels to form the network.
As shown in FIG. 1, a user A with a hand-held telephone goes off-hook. This request for a channel is received by a particular satellite 1, as shown in FIG. 1. A frequency channel is assigned to the user and the caller's desired number is then routed through the system. Each satellite is a distributed local processor and determines how switching of the call is to occur. Satellite 1 switches the call to the appropriate cell contained either within its own cell complement or to the appropriate satellite cell complement. The path is determined by each satellite switching unit until the call is received by satellite 2. Satellite 2 then routes this call to the particular hand-held user B shown in FIG. 1.
Although two hand-held users are shown, the users may be on the water, in a moving vehicle, airborne or part of a PSTN where the link is through a gateway. Each satellite is a local processor. The system determines to which appropriate satellite or cell the call is to be switched. Each satellite determines an optimal path from itself to the next appropriate satellite. These determinations may be made based upon the office code portion of the telephone number of the called user.
Each satellite typically projects at least four (4) or more lobes onto the earth and comprises at least four (4) or more corresponding cells for switching. These lobes of coverage are achieved via antennas (helical typically) with fixed beam widths appropriate to the number of lobes. Overlapping cells will be differentiated using present cellular techniques. Each satellite determines the optimal path from it to the next satellite through which to route a particular call or data transmission. These satellite switches operate on data packets and therefore, may transmit digital voice or data. Downlink and uplink data/digital voice is received on an FDM basis demodulated and then packetized for satellite-to-satellite communication.
FIG. 2 depicts the interconnection of a portion of one plane of satellites. In addition, the connection of the satellite to the satellite's corresponding mobile users and to the public switched telephone network is shown. Three satellites are shown in FIG. 2: satellite 40, satellite 50 and satellite 60. Satellite 40 is connected to satellite 50 by link i. Satellite 50 is connected to satellite 60 by link i+1. Satellite 60 is connected to the next sequential satellite of the plane (not shown) via link i+2. Satellite 40 is connected to the next preceding satellite (not shown) via link i-1. Each plane of satellites forms a ring of connected satellites around the earth.
As previously mentioned, the drawing of FIG. 2 shows one plane of the satellites. In addition, each satellite is connected via radio or optical communications to one or more satellites in other orbiting planes. That is, each satellite is connected to a previous and next satellite in its orbiting plane and to one or more satellites in other orbiting planes.
The inter-satellite links link i-1, link i, etc. may be implemented via data transmission on a microwave beam or via a laser beam. Existing technologies currently provide for such data transmission.
Connection between the satellites and its mobile users is achieved by beams j-1, and j+1, for example. These beams correspond to the lobes shown in FIG. 3 and to the switching cells mentioned above. These beams are achieved via the satellite up/down link antennas which provide communication to users via the users omni-directional antenna. The limit on the number of users that a particular satellite may handle at one time depends on bandwidth allocated plus power available on the satellite. Typically this number may be 50,000 users per satellite.
Satellite 40 is shown connected to a trunk site or gateway 10 via beam j-1. Any satellite, such as satellite 40, is capable of transmitting and receiving data from a gateway, such as gateway 10. This gateway link can be accomplished using the packetized data similar to the satellite-to-satellite links.
Gateway 10 includes units which interconnect to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 20. All public switched telephone network users 30 are connected to the public switched telephone network 20. As a result of the satellite 40 being connected through gateway 10 to PSTN 20, a mobile user of the satellite cellular system which is connected directly via a beam to a satellite may transit voice or data via the satellite structure (satellite-to-satellite via corresponding links), through gateway 10, through the public switched telephone network 20 to selected users of the PSTN 30 or vice versa.
Each satellite provides several data transmission beams. These data transmission beams project the lobes of coverage shown in FIG. 3 for a nine-by-nine orbiting constellation in accordance with a preferred embodiment. The satellites are orbiting at a 60� inclination at an altitude of 1118 km, with a 10� elevation footprint.
As shown in FIG. 2, a satellite may use one or more of its beams to provide an interface to a gateway. At least one beam is required for establishing a link between each gateway and the satellite. Typically a satellite links to only one gateway. One gateway provides sufficient trunking to interconnect a number of mobile users to the public switched telephone network 20.
Each satellite performs internal switching among its beams or cells. This is analogous to intra-office switching for conventional telecommunication systems. The up/down linking arrangement between the satellites and its mobile users or gateways via the beams may transmit and receive data in the range of approximately 2.1 to 3.9 GHz, for example. The present technology and band availability makes this a preferred data transmission range. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to data transmission exclusively within this range.
As previously mentioned, the data (digital voice or data) is transmitted in packet form. As a result, high-speed data transmission as well as voice data transmission may be accomplished via the satellite system. Data transmission rates, given the present available bandwidths, are at least 1200 baud. However, with extended bandwidth, substantially higher data rates can be achieved by this system.
FIG. 3 shows dual satellite coverage over earth of a nine-by-nine satellite constellation in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. According to the preferred embodiment, the satellites are inclined at 60� and are at an altitude of 1118 kilometers. Other angles of inclination could be used as well, except to achieve dual satellite coverage, the altitude of the satellites may also have to change. The satellites also have a minimum 10� elevation angle footprint.
As shown in FIG. 3, the patterns of the satellites show the absence of a counter-rotating seam. The absence of the counter-rotating seam means that the problems with establishing and maintaining radio or optical communications between satellites travelling in opposite directions is minimized. Moreover, as shown, there is more weaving of the satellites.
The satellite constellation is built on the geometric relationship of a triangle, which may be an equilateral triangle, for example. Four satellites are related to each other in a parallelgram geometric relationship. This configuration allows for the satellites to be grouped in such a way to provide the necessary coverage. The minimum elevation angle (10� in the preferred embodiment) is met at the intersection point of the three satellites represented by the triangular geometry.
FIG. 4 shows constellation geometry of the spacing between satellites in the same plane and satellites in another orbital plane for satellites between an angle of inclination of 30' to 90' (prograde) or 90' to 150' (retrograde) in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Satellites A1 and A2 are in the same orbital plane, while satellites B1 and B2 are in the same orbital plane. Spacing between satellites in the same orbital plane is given by the following equation:
S.sub.S =360/N.sub.S (1)
NS =number of in-plane satellites
SS =satellite spacing (in degrees)
Spacing between satellites in a different orbital plane is given by the following equations:
R=√3 (S.sub.S)�2 sin i (2)
S.sub.p =S.sub.S [0.5-(√3�2 tan i)] (3)
L=√3 (S.sub.S)�2 sin (i+30) (4)
i=satellite inclination (in degrees)
R=RAAN spacing (in degrees)
Sp =satellite phasing (in degrees)
L=latitude spacing (in degrees)
By using equations (1)-(4), satellites in the constellation have a triangular geometric relationship to each other. As shown in FIG. 4, satellites A1, A2 and B1 have a triangular relationship to each other. Similarly, satellites A2, B1 and B2 have a triangular geometric relationship.
Dual coverage is also defined by the geometry of the triangular shape. For any constellation of satellites that is optimally designed around the triangular geometry. Dual satellite coverage can be guaranteed below 60� latitude by either overpopulating the constellation with more satellites (sub-optimally), or flying the constellation at a higher altitude.
The co-rotating satellites all maintain the same relationships so that the cross-links are not affected. If the cross-link network is based on the geometry of a triangle, the cross-link is independent of the satellite inclination. In other words, as long as the geometrical relationship is maintained, the dynamics are the same.
Instead of east-west cross-links occurring across different orbital planes and across the seam as they do with satellites having polar orbits, east-west cross-links mostly stay within the same orbital plane. This is due to the fact that the satellites are orbiting earth at an inclined angle of 60� (or some other angle). Moreover, cross-link seam dynamics minimizes or eliminates communication across a seam.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment, FIGS. 5 and 6 show sub-satellite points and a time sequence of six one minute steps showing the relative movement of each of the 81 satellites in a nine-by-nine satellite constellation. Each of the orbits of the satellites are inclined at 60� at an altitude of 1118 km and have a 10� elevation footprint.
FIG. 7 depicts one satellite switching unit 100 directly connected to mobile users 120 via beam 102. Satellite 100 is connected to data base computer 110 via beam 104. Satellite 100 is also connected to data base computer 130 via beam 106. This connection may be direct via a beam 106 as shown in FIG. 7 or indirect through other satellites to data base computer 130.
A mobile user might "roam" or travel in a home area. The home area may be a city, such as New York, Los Angeles, etc. The data base computer 110 contains all the information relative to each of its mobile users. As long as a particular mobile user is operating within his home area, all the available information concerning that user is available at the local home area data base computer.
If, for example, a home area user in Los Angeles travels to New York City and attempts to use his satellite cellular telephone for communication, the data base computer in the user's new area, New York City, is not aware of the existence of that user. If data base computer 110 is the mobile user's home area, Los Angeles, data base computer 110 has all the information for this particular mobile user. As a result, the mobile user would not be allowed to place calls because he was not recognized by his home area's data base computer.
In order to overcome this problem, each mobile user is periodically interrogated by the system as to its location so when he goes off-hook, his call for service can be recognized and routed. However, since the data base of a particular user is stored in his home area data base computer via the satellite system, the satellite system first interrogates the home area to determine that he is no longer there and to obtain the user's switching information. When that determination is made, the new home area's data base computer can be updated to include this "roaming" user. As a result, this user is then allowed to originate and receive calls in his new area. Because the satellite system interrogates the user's home data base computer to determine his location, the user can be found throughout the entire satellite system. Thus, the system provides the capability for finding "roaming" users and establishing communications with them.
To facilitate tracking of each mobile user, each mobile telephone provides a control signal which is periodically monitored so that when a subscriber originates a call, the nearest satellite can track him and through the satellite network interrogate his home data base computer to determine his pertinent customer information. The mobile telephone may automatically indicate to the satellite network a new location for updating the data base computer. This control signal allows the incoming calls of "roaming" users to be validated via satellite-to-satellite linking to the home area's data base computer.
Each satellite in the satellite cellular communication system is self-navigating. That is, it uses the Global Positioning Satellite system (GPS) or time and ephemeris data from which to compute its location information. In addition, from the fixed location of the Global Positioning Satellite system or other vehicle, each satellite can determine its position and alter its course accordingly to stay within its proper orbit while providing switching services.
Each satellite may switch a call intra-satellite (within the particular switching unit or cell) or may connect the call via a microwave or laser links (link i, i+1, etc.) to another satellite within its plane or out of plane (adjacent). Each satellite may distinguish a particular telephone number and determine whether that number is within its own calling area or the area of another satellite. If it is within the area of another satellite, the call is cross-linked to the next appropriate satellite or cell which makes the same determination until the satellite serving that telephone number is reached. That satellite down-links to the particular mobile user sought to be called. Due to this structure, the satellite network provides a distributed nodal switching capability. Each satellite is a local switch for a particular area, but the area is constantly changing. Therefore, calls are handed-off as satellites move out of the range of a particular telephone user.
Various multiplexing techniques (i.e. FDMA, TDM, CDMA, etc.) may be used to enhance the transmission capability between various satellites on the links as shown in FIG. 2.
Since the switching units of this system are orbiting the earth and relatively secure from tampering, this system provides the capability to support secure voice and data transmission via data encryption and decryption techniques commonly known in the art. Since the switching units enjoy the security of being hundreds of miles above the earth, the system also lends itself to military communication applications.
As described, a satellite constellation that is inclined at a 60� angle provides multiple benefits and advantages over polar orbits. The improved satellite constellation eliminates the counter-rotating seam and the problems associated with communicating across the seam. The improved satellite constellation guarantees dual satellite coverage for at least 85% of the earth. Because of the dual satellite coverage, gateway horizon interference is reduced. The satellite constellation increases the reliability of communication, while improving power management and concrete performance. Moreover, there is a lower delay time for establishing communication with the subscriber units in most cells of the satellite constellation. Another advantage is that geolocation is improved. A further advantage is that load balancing and resource allocation are improved.

It's kinda predictable, don't you think, that most things that I want are released either around Valentines Day or on a general week of the year that I haven't been or I am waiting to be paid and have no money. This year, I'm afraid to say, there hasn't been any change and I'm totally feeling first world problem pains!
Last summer, I was absolutely smitten with Nasty Gal's, bad ass CEO, Sophie Amoruso's book #GirlBoss, hanging on to every word in the book I could pretty much reel it of to you if you ask nicely and don't laugh so hard.
Capitalizing on how much we all wish to think of ourselves as #GirlBosses combined with our love of beauty, cosmetic brands and trends and in particular M.A.C - the beauty giant has partnered with Nasty Gal for a brand new, limited edition and terribly exciting, high intensity collection of daring and dramatic lipsticks to be paired perfectly with matching nail lacquers, which have me giddy just writing this! How do they do it?!
As they so perfectly put it at M.A.C...
"This season, style has attitude and so do you!"
I'm sold!
M.A.C x Nasty Gal limited edition collection is available exclusively to the following M·A·C free standing stores:

Hello. My boyfriend's birthday is next week and I wanted to treat him to a special dinner. I am really interested in a good tasting room. He has already eaten at the French Room and Nana, so those are ruled out. Based on location and reviews, I have narrowed it down to either Lola or Bijoux.
Although, both of us enjoy wine with our dinner, we are by no means wine connoisseurs. Therefore, wine is not a deciding factor for us. The most important qualities are GREAT food that is creative and inventive (we both enjoy trying new dishes), good service (attentive but not overbearing) and an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. We are also not into the Dallas "scene" so a place that is less pretentious would be a plus.
Any recent experiences, pros/cons, etc. are appreciated. Thanks!

By VINCE LUECKE
I can vividly remember the first and only letter to the editor I ever penned. I was in seventh grade and decided to point a scolding finger at school officials in Spencer County.
For whatever reason, Heritage Hills, then less than 10 years old, had a roof in very poor condition that leaked every time it rained. Water poured through the flat roof, staining ceiling tiles and carpet. On rainy days, there were trash cans scattered along the school's hallways and classrooms.
Few property annexations, especially of the size Tell City has tackled over the past year, are accomplished easily or without considerable debate. That has certainly been the case this spring as the Tell City Common Council debated, sought public input and adopted an ordinance adding 1,776 acres into the community.
As we reported in Thursday's issue, a group of landowners opposed to their properties being annexed is in the first stages of filing a remonstrance.
The Perry County Council of Agencies food pantry and clothing bank members would like to thank USW No. 1261 for their recent donation.
Funds are greatly appreciated as there continues to be a need in this area. We are grateful for all donations.
I must take time out from my busy schedule to compliment you on your fine Perry County News newspaper. I especially enjoy reading about the folks I learned to know during my almost 25 years of teaching in Perry County at Perry Central schools.
Recent events in Crimea give President Obama yet another reason to approve Keystone XL. Russia's military incursion highlights the need for improved transportation of oil and natural gas from North America for energy-market stability.
Immediately after Putin's forces entered the Crimean Peninsula, the price of crude oil jumped to a sustained six-month high of nearly $105 a barrel. Every dollar increase adds cents-per-gallon at the pump and to heating-oil bills.

Editor's note: This article was first published in April 2010. At the request of several readers, it is being reprinted this Easter season.
I didn't make it to Good Friday church services last week. But watching a few good men remove a dead man from a truck served as good a reminder as any of not only Jesus' death but those who freed him from the cross.
Last week, the News published an article by guest columnist Shawn Jones about the possible formation of a welcoming committee in Perry County. The community outreach group would serve to identify and support individuals and families new to the area and would be created by Quality of Life, a subgroup of the Perry County Development Corp.
According to Jones, the group is currently working to create such a committee. We hope they do.
So, you're new in town and you don't know anyone? Hello, my name is Shawn Jones and that's what I went though when my family and I moved here 10 years ago. We moved to Perry County in 2004 from St. Joe, Mich. for my husband's position as accounting manager at ATTC Manufacturing.

Prepaid cards are perfect for consumers that are wanting to avoid traditional credit card debt or those who may not qualify for a credit card. Compare the offers below to find which card would be best for you.
*See Program Rules
Prepaid cards have typically been an invaluable asset for those who haven't yet established a credit history. They have also been one of the primary means of re-establishing credit after a bankruptcy or other financial difficulties that resulted in a poor credit rating. In both cases, they provide the company with a way to cut their risks while offering an option for customers with sub-prime credit ratings.
While every card has its own terms and conditions, prepaid cards require you to deposit funds with the company. They then issue you a card with a limit equal to the amount on deposit. Prepaid cards are very similar to debit cards except they don't require a checking account.
*See online credit card application for details on the terms and conditions.

Facile victory for U-16 girls
Weak Kilkenny outclassed
Wexford kicked off their Leinster ladies' football Under-16 'C' championship campaign with a facile win over a poor Kilkenny outfit in Ballycullane on Sunday.
Wexford 7-21 Kilkenny 0-0
The old saying goes 'you can only beat what's put in front of you', and the Slaneysiders did that with more than a little to spare. With neighbours Carlow and Wicklow to follow, Wexford can expect it to get a little harder in the coming weeks.
Ailis Neville opened the scoring from a tight angle in the opening minute and Ciara Banville doubled the advantage after a penetrative solo run. Hotshot Banville then made it 0-3 to nil after being fed by Neville.
Good work in defence by Rosie McGuckin and Mairéad Creane ended with Wexford winning a penalty that Neville converted. Orla Fitzgerald scored a nice point after good inter-change in midfield but would soon be lost to injury.
After Banville grabbed her third point, Ciara Bridges nailed a '45. A super solo upfield ended with a Creane point, before Michelle Carthy won the resulting kick-out and added another.
Shortly after being denied by the crossbar, Banville found the net with a fine finish to the top corner (2-8 to nil).
The scoring rate slowed somewhat in the second quarter. Neville and Banville both pointed before the latter cracked the crossbar again and Eimear O'Hagan turned in the rebound.
After three straight Banville points there was still time for the Taghmon forward to add another goal before the interval.
Leading by 4-13 to nil at the break gave Wexford the opportunity to introduce their substitutes in the second-half. Neville bagged her second goal shortly after the re-start with a tidy punched finish to the net.
Shortly after a handpassed goal was disallowed, Wexford came forward again and Jane Rossiter beat the visiting 'keeper. Neville and O'Hagan pointed as the hosts took a 6-16 to nil lead into the final quarter.
Molly Bates got herself on the scoresheet before Elena Kenny registered her side's seventh goal with a clinical low finish with six minutes remaining. Next up for Wexford is a trip to Carlow on March 25.
Wexford: Aoife Dunne; Rosie McGuckin, Grace Cooney, Lorna Fortune; Mairéad Creane (0-1), Michelle Carthy (0-1), Susan Boyle; Juliet Rochford, Ciara Bridges (0-1 '45); Molly Bates (0-1 free), Ciara Banville (2-8), Orla Fitzgerald (0-1); Ciara Roban, Jane Rossiter (1-1), Ailis Neville (2-3, 1-0 pen.). Subs. - Eimear O'Hagan (1-2) for Fitzgerald, inj., Elena Kenny (1-0) for Roban, Loren Doyle for McGuckin, Jade Power for Bridges, Clodagh Walsh (0-1) for Banville, Emily Rochford (0-1) for Boyle, also Aine Fitzgerald, Aisling Dunne, Michelle Cullen, Jade Power, Ellen Barry, Bonnie Kinnaird, Kathryn Dempsey, Geri Rose O'Connor, Sherene Hamilton, Alibeth Curran.

Nigel Farage declares war in Ukip speech: 'Labour we will tear away your vote'
NIGEL Farage today said Ukip were "parking its tanks" on the Labour party lawn and tearing vast chunks out of its vote.
Addressing an exuberant crowd of supporters at the party's conference in Doncaster – the town that Labour leader Ed Miliband represents – Mr Farage made clear he is going after the "blue collar" vote and claimed the party is now a serious threat to Labour.
The Ukip leader said the party was making major inroads into Labour support in the Midlands, the North and across Wales.
"This party is not about left and right. This party is about right and wrong," he told a rapturous audience.
"We want to signal to everyone we are now parking our tanks on the Labour Party's lawn."
"I never thought I would say that the biggest boost that was given to me and Ukip was thanks to Nick Clegg"Nigel Farage
Farage also personally thanked Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg for "his help in growing Ukip".
"I never thought I would say that the biggest boost that was given to me and Ukip was thanks to Nick Clegg," he said.
Farage is widely acknowledged to have won the televised debates with the Lib Dem leader ahead of the European elections.
He also acknowledged that Westminster was today being recalled to vote on air strikes in Iraq but stated he would "not speculate" whether this was a deliberate decision on behalf of the Prime Minister.
He branded UK foreign policy a "shambles" adding: "We are busy fighting wars abroad, but what about the radicalisation in our schools and prisons?"

My life is one long rerouting. Only I've not had the pleasure of Google Maps patiently telling me that I've taken a wrong turn and that it's calculating the next best option to get me to my destination. Instead, I've lived one-way streets and stop signs, merging into single lanes and tight spaces. My life has been roadblocks and potholes and miles out of my way with no rest stop in sight. I type the address into my phone to get to her office. Google Maps turns me this way and that and I obediently follow its directions. "You have arrived at your destination," my phone informs me in a professional robotic voice. I stay buckled in my seat with my hands at ten and two. I look down and see that my knuckles are mottled from my grip and my palms are slick with sweat. I release the steering wheel and wipe my hands on my dress. I flip down the visor and pop open the mirror. I took care ... [Read More]
For All Who Hurt with Nothing Left: A Grace Table Post
I was a week past deadline on this post. I sat at the keyboard for two days straight while fever swallowed up my hours and I mopped up my nose with a growing pile of tissues, gathering like soggy clouds in my wastebasket. And my fingers hovered over the keys. Backspace gobbled up my words faster than I could get them down and I must have started five or six posts before the letters trailed off and got stringy and anemic like my story was being siphoned off and stolen away. I wanted to blame it on the flu, because who can think clearly and write in a cohesive way when you're fighting off tiny viruses, but I knew it was more than that. I knew I was fighting more than my body in trying to write this post. I messaged Kris and told her I was trying, I asked for direction and she offered prayer and so much grace. I reached out to some writer friends who get the struggle to nail down words ... [Read More]
Dead to Center: Living with Bipolar
On the good days I fear that I'll get sucked back under, churned wild under the waves, like a spin cycle set to run too long agitating me this way and that. I feared it when I was jubilant and every good thing was like low hanging fruit, so ripe and easy to pluck from the branches, heavy with worth and promise. I fear the fall. Sometimes hope terrifies me. I'm not supposed to say that. It seems contrary to all the good things like faith and promise and trusting God. Here's the funny thing. I trust God and have faith and then there's this too. This hesitancy to hope. I pray to the God of lost things and the God of found things and I know He's one and the same. How that makes sense is still something I'm trying to figure out. I might not know it any better than this- He gives and He takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord. Sometimes God gives good days. On the good days, I stoke ... [Read More]
When I Am Still Unfine
My breath comes in short bursts of white smoke. My heaving chest is an engine blowing exhaust into the frost. I lean over the porch hyperventilating, watching my tears hit the snow beneath my feet making tiny indentations, pinhole hollows searing the purity of a fresh snowfall. I feel a hand on my shoulder and my son pushes a cloth towards me to wipe my nose and eyes and the vomit from my lips. I squeeze my eyes shut tight causing tears to spill harder down my cheeks and puncture the pristine white before me. "I'm going to die," I gasp. "My heart… it hurts, I can't, I can't breathe." I am choking again. Gagging and cold and ridiculous. I ran from my living room into the front yard when I felt my stomach retch forward like my guts were detaching, a creature within me that had somehow come unleashed. I made it to the porch, the frozen air catching me before I was bent over throwing ... [Read More]
When You Are Not Fine
"I don't want to live like a vagrant anymore," I pray. "I don't want to be known for my lack, my weakness, my constant recurring despair." I inhabit a limited soul longing for the wide expanse of eternity. Sometimes I wonder aloud, "How long, Lord? How long must I wait?" I first stood in line in the Walmart pharmacy to pick up my tiny orange bottle of pills that were prescribed like a life-line, a desperate measure I didn't want to believe I needed even after the tears crashed down as I sat in my crinkly gown, feeling exposed and naked in every way, and my doctor reached out and took my hand in his and called me kiddo and promised we'd figure this out. But the sadness made sense then. I had lost my baby. Who could blame me for my despair? And when it didn't relent, he scribbled a prescription out on his pad, ripped it off, and handed it to me. I sat in the parking lot as I ... [Read More]

I'd have to do some digging as I stopped most of the research I had been doing once we realized we'd be moving to a place where I would have access to a midwife-operated birth center (which, for the record, I have chosen as opposed to a home birth primarily because this is my first baby - the vast majority of home birth to hospital transfers are first time mothers who panic, and I'm admittedly a slight hypochondria - and so a birth center was a happy medium for me). That said, Shelley, I would happy to send you whatever links I still have laying around. Were you looking for any specific type of information?
ETA: LM - you realize that most statistics from the CDC or AMA are going to be deliberately slanted against home births, right? That these groups have a vested financial interest in keeping birth in the hospital? That the information you've provided is very limited and no extrapolations on the circumstances have been given for any of these situations, and that non-fatal but life-threatening or otherwise significant complications as a result of unnecessary interventions were not included? In addition, one year in one state is a fraction of a sample for home births overall in the developed world.
You also realize that there are plenty of doctors who get all of the right education and training who are still terrible care providers because they treat their patients like cattle, ignore their wishes, make medical decisions based on what's more convenient for their schedules even if it's not ideal for the mother or the baby? I'm sure you would agree with me that it would be unfair to claim that because there are doctors like this who exist, ALL doctors must be like that or ALL hospital births must be traumatic. Midwifery and home birth is no different.
Do you realize that the US is the only western country that does not universally support and encourage home birth? That in Canada, the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, etc. home birth is considered a viable birthing option and is encouraged for low-risk mothers by official medical organizations?
Do you also realize that the nightmarish circumstances that can be fatal during birth (cord prolapse, placental abruption, nuchal cord) are
no less of a risk
at a hospital than they are at home?
When are we hanging out?? You are amazing!! I <3 you already!! LOL

So what i carry on the daily:
Purse (obvs) this is a lovely Ted Baker one, its my summer purse as i just loved the nude colour and mint lining (also it has dogs all over the inside! Mega cute overload)
Next up phone! Uber important, like a limb type of importance.I have the LG and i love it! I have tried every phone you can imagine (my husband is a gadget geek, we try lots of new techy stuff, what can i say, he has his gadgets i have my clothes; and all is happy in the Turone household) this one is by far the best. the customization is incredible and the battery life unbelievable.. i could go on, but i won't bore you, i'm aware techy things aren't everyone's cuppa tea:)
Then we go on to the peripherals shall we say.
Sunglasses.. major must have. I currently have about 6 pairs on the go, it sounds bizarre but i have really light sensitive eyes, as soon as i go out i have to have some shades, and obviously they have to be a bit snazzy. Currently love these New Look oversized angular pair.
Makeup. Very important for touch-ups through the day. I carry my Chanel compact for powdering down any shininess, a lipstick and a lipgloss (both Chanel again in this case) In all honesty i have been known to carry 7 lip products with me at any given time. I just tend to chuck them in in the morning. But these are my current faves.
Then YSL touche eclat for some major baggage (of the eye variety) covering up, some lip balm and some frizz ease serum to tame those pesky flyaways.
I always have a perfume on me cos no one likes a stinker... (haha i joke,sorta) I'm currently loving Ghost Eclipse, such a great scent for summer.
Then we have the obligatory hair band/tie and hair pins, of which i must go through approximately 8424254041520 in a year.. again i think gremlins get those too..
I keep forgetting a brush/comb lately too which i must invest in a small handbag one, 'cos man, in this windy weather lately, my hair gets sooo tangled #haystacklook
Next i have tissues, wet wipes and ibuprofen.. i am a mummy.. these are necessities. Headaches meh, sticky hands and snotty noses, the latter being the kids that is, not me i promise, all part and parcel of your average day i guess. Being prepared helps (as does wine i find, but it doesn't fit in my bag*winks*)
Then we have my boring life stuff. Small notepad for the copious amounts of lists i make and my diary telling me where i've got to be and when.. fairly important as i have a memory like a sieve.
And always, always a snack. I get a hangry (hungrry-angry) if i don't eat for prolonged periods of time. Prevention is a must ,for everyone's sanity. I've been trying to be healthy lately so apples are a great snack that can be carried most of the day (unlike say, a banana, shame on you soft fruit)
So there we have it.. my new lovely Radley and its current contents.
Do you have a favourite bag? And what are your everyday essentials? I'd love to know, i'm nosey so poking around in other peoples things is always like fun to me.. do share!

So you're browsing the internet, scrolling through various videos of annoying pets and selfies of people that you don't like, and suddenly you see a heavily armoured Batman trading punches with Superman; a regular, Zack Snyder-inspired day, right?
Wrong! Because chances are, you've just come across the trailer for the new DC Comics fighting game 'Injustice 2'.
Sequel to 2013's 'Injustice: Gods Among Us', a brutal superhero romp set in an alternate timeline featuring some pretty non-heroic events, such as; Superman killing the Joker, Superman killing Innocent civilians and Superman killing Shazam; Injustice 2 looks to reestablish the gritty and dystopian feel of the original, while hopefully throwing in a few surprises along the way.
As fun as the first Injustice game was (and who wouldn't enjoy kicking Superman's ass using Green Arrow, right?), the playable roster did feel fairly limited given the vast number of characters in DC's back catalogue and unless you were willing to shell out for DLC, we were stuck with twelve heroes and twelve villains to play with.
Hopefully Injustice 2 will bring some new characters to the mix, as well as developing those who we already know will appear and will also hopefully feature long-time Justice League member Green Lantern, who is mysteriously missing from the announcement trailer.
Now this could simply be an artistic choice to not overcrowd what is really little more than a visual teaser, however the Lantern's absence thus far could also potentially be due to DC's unwillingness to heavily market a character which does not have an imminent or already existing presence in their successful film and television franchises (and no, Ryan Reynolds, your attempt doesn't count). It could be too early to tell, as we have only seen one trailer so far, and Wonder Woman was also missing from the shadowy brawl, but including Supergirl (now starring in her own live-action TV show) over either of these titanic characters seems like a tactical choice on the marketing department's behalf.
So far as where Injustice 2's story will take us, at this point it's anyone's guess. The sequel may show us another alternate dimension, or perhaps revisit the universe home to the many evil (and some dead) versions of our favourite characters explored in the first game; whichever the case, in the mean time, I think it's time to go and dig out the Xbox 360 - Superman needs an ass kicking.

1627 Tasting Notes
Thank you brandy3392 for a huge bag of this tea! I made this by brewing it iced. It was a nice dark burgundy color. It tasted so sweet, just like juice but a bit watered down. Delicious! It wasn't bitter, which I know is prominent in hibiscus when I use hot water. Cold brew is the way to go. I love this!
I was looking thru the discussion here and was reading about what tea to drink for a tummy ache. Most people said peppermint. My stomach isn't feeling well today, so I brewed this one up straight. Mmm… I took a cat nap and now I'm feeling better. Still not 100% though but I can live with this. I'm glad I have a huge bag of this!

Favorite Wine: Chambourcin
The owners are among the friendliest folks I encountered the entire time I was in the area. They specialize in sweeter varietals, but they make nice dry wines, and the setting in a rural area overlooking a wooded setting makes this winery a destination. Very nice folks, reasonable prices, and a variety of wines to suit every palate. They offer small snack trays, too, and have a good dog to keep you company.

It is covered and hidden from view under the rear of the slide. This allowed the weapon to be carried in and withdrawn from a pocket quickly and smoothly without snagging.

Independent editor brutally beaten in Russia

New York, April 27, 2010 – Regional prosecutors should immediately investigate the brutal attack on Monday on Arkady Lander, editor-in-chief of the independent newspaper Mestnaya (Local) in the southern city of Sochi, and bring his assailants to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Two unidentified men attacked Lander at his apartment as he returned from a grocery store at around 3 p.m. on Monday, the independent Caucasus region news Web site Kavkazsky Uzel reported. Lander, who was conscious after the attack, told Kavkazsky Uzel that the assailants – whom neighbors had reportedly seen in the building in the days before the attack – hit him repeatedly on the head with metal rods.
The attackers did not rob Lander and fled the premises, Kavkazsky Uzel said. The editor was hospitalized with a broken skull and a concussion, the Russian service of the U.S. government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported.
"Investigating authorities in Sochi must carry out a swift, thorough, and effective probe into the savage attack on Arkady Lander," said CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova. "Witnesses and the editor himself can identity the attackers. We call on the officials responsible to prevent impunity from prevailing in yet another case of a physical attack on a Russian journalist."
Lander, 62, told Kavkazsky Uzel after the incident that he believes it is related to his journalism. Mestnaya started publishing in January with a circulation of 50,000 and is distributed in Sochi free of charge, he said in a March interview for Kavkazsky Uzel. The newspaper covered Sochi's March 14 municipal elections from a pro-opposition angle.
Witnesses told Kavkazsky Uzel they discovered that the doors to the apartments next to the editor's had been blocked from outside with wooden sticks to prevent residents from coming out to help Lander.

What is Hydroplus Treatment?
The Hydroplus Treatment combines Crystal Free Diamondtome Microdermabrasion and a customized serum infusion to produce more youthful looking skin while addressing your specific individual concerns. The Hydroplus Treatment is an excellent choice if you are preparing your skin for a major life event. This treatment has been linked to "red carpet" ready glowing skin and is appropriate for women and men of all ages. When done in a series, the Hydroplus Treatment will produce more significant long lasting results.
How Does the Hydroplus Treatment work?
Our skin care specialist uses Diamondtome's Crystal Free Microdermabrasion to exfoliate and smooth the dead outer layer of the skin while vacuuming away the dead skin cells in a controlled manner. This promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.
The next step is a product infusion using a specialized HydroWand. Our skin care specialist will choose the best product available to address your concerns. The product will be delivered to your skin through the HydroWand. This wand is perfectly formulated and designed for optimum skin penetration. These products are an effective way to improve skin texture and appearance. This leaves your skin smooth, bright and make up ready.
Am I a good candidate for the Hydroplus Treatment?
Although we cannot develop a treatment plan until we have seen you the Hydroplus Treatment may be an option if you have any of the following:
-Minor or moderate early aging fine lines
-Sun Damaged Skin
-Slight Acne Scarring
-Age Spots
-Skin Dullness
-Special Occasion
Is there any downtime with the Hydroplus Treatment?
There is no downtime with this treatment. Your skin may appear a little flushed but this should resolve within 30 minutes. You should avoid direct sun exposure and tanning following your treatment. Sunscreen is essential to use afterwards as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.
How many treatments do I need?
You may see a visible result after your first treatment but significant results typically occur after six to eight treatments spaced two weeks apart.
How much does the Hydroplus Treatment cost?
The Hydroplus Treatment is $200 for an individual treatment. There is a reduced rate for the Hydroplus Treatment Package option.

Card forging is now in beta. There will likely be some bugs.
Forging rules so far:
Order matters. It goes (base card) + (modifying card), for instance Knight + Rage = Raging Knight.
Forging only goes two cards deep at the moment, even though there are four slots.
Forged cards cannot be forged again, so you can't make something like Gigantic Raging Knight, for example.
Not all cards are forgable. In particular, only allies are forgable right now, and only some of them.
The only implemented modifiers so far are: Grow Big/Huge/Gigantic/Small, Mutate, Rage, and Ambush.
No, for Haunter, I changed the card text slightly so it explains this. It now reads "When you play this, put all cards with the same name from your graveyard into play."
I think Raging Haunter might be overpowered though. To be honest, Haunter itself is somewhat OP, cool concept but maybe could have something like "and deal 1 damage to you" added.
That makes sense, I was thinking how OP that would be if you could dump it for energy, then get it on the field potentially before you would even have the energy to play it. A couple of issues I have noticed so far:
The forged card that I have (Raging Enforcer) in the in-game card the AP/HP is pushed off the bottom of the card so you can't see it unless you click it and see the enlarged view.
Similarly, the same issue crops up in forge view. In addition, it would be good to be able to click the card that will be forged in order to see it's full text. Right now not all the text is visible on the more complex cards (like Raging Enforcer).
Playing around with it a bit, it seems like Rage is really strong. Raging Squire, for instance, is basically an Imp that can swing for extra damage on the turn it enters play (while, I think, still pitching for a Yellow? Interesting concept there :D )
Before I start nuking my collection playing with this stuff, forging consumes the cards, right? (If so, looks like I need to go buy a ton of Rage, lol)
