The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this workplace sitcom is set in India and derives most of its jokes from cultural clashes and misunderstandings. There's some mild stereotyping for comedic purposes, but nothing that's truly offensive. There's also some low-level cursing in the form of "ass" and "crap," some sexual innuendo, and a bit of consumerism -- although the show generally pokes fun at Americans' urge to buy things they don't need.

What's the story?
When call center manager Todd Dempsey (Ben Rappaport) shows up for work on his first day after management training, he finds out that his entire department has been OUTSOURCED to India, a move that will save the Mid America Novelties company a fortune. Now, the only way Todd can keep his job is if he agrees to move overseas to manage the company's newly acquired Indian sales team, a motley crew that includes eager-to-please ladies' man Manmeet (Sacha Dhawan), brainy beauty Asha (Rebecca Hazlewood), and managerial rival Rajiv (Rizwan Manji).
Is it any good?
Most people probably missed the quirky 2006 indie film that inspired this fish-out-of-water workplace sitcom, but the TV version generally improves upon the original by making some minor adjustments to the plot -- including the addition of a few new characters -- and generating a lot more laughs. Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) gets some of the best one-liners as a transplanted American who prefers to stay isolated rather than assimilate, importing his own supply of PB&J, Cheetos, and Ding Dongs to avoid eating Indian food. But so does Parvesh Cheena, who proves to be a charming scene stealer as the socially awkward Gupta.
In an era of economic uncertainty, real-life outsourcing is an undeniably timely topic ... although Americans who've seen their own jobs shipped overseas might not be in the mood to laugh about it. Still, the series has proven its worth as a lighthearted means to common ground through comedy and clever satire, without resorting to one-dimensional and predictable cultural stereotypes.
Talk to your kids about ...
Families can talk about stereotyping on television. Is Outsourced breaking barriers for actors of Indian descent, or is it reinforcing negative stereotypes? How are Indian characters portrayed on this show?
What's the show's take on consumerism? Is the portrayal of Americans' need to buy things they don't need accurate?
Has your family been affected by a corporation's decision to outsource jobs to another country? Did that negatively impact your views of service workers overseas?

A stately running affair at East Yorkshire
One of Yorkshire's most popular stately homes, Sledmere House, is preparing to host the latest staging of its 10k race. This Friday (14 June) will see the fifth running of the 'Sledmere Sunset Trail', a multi-terrain event that takes runners on a winding route through deep chalk valleys and secluded woodland paths.
Organised by Driffield Striders, the race was the brainchild of club coach Jon Purdy. It was held for the first time in 2015, as a replacement for Striders' annual Mucky Duck race.
Since then, it has enjoyed a steady rise in popularity and posted a sell-out notice of 500 runners within 19 days of online entries opening last autumn. Two years ago there were still 300 places available in March.
Sponsored by Woolley and Parks estate agents, the race starts at 7.30pm and will take runners on a circular undulating route which follows paths, tracks, a valley and woods. There is a stunning finish in line on the wide sweeping lawns in front of Sledmere House.
Last year saw a Bridlington Road Runners 1-2 in Phil Taylor (36:08) and Scott Hargreaves (36:24) while Scarborough AC's Rhona Marshall claimed top spot in the female competition in 42:03, with Laura Schofield in second place (43:37).
The race will be preceded by a 500 metre children's run (6.15pm) and the 3.6km Sunset Trail Taster (6.30pm).

Six Tips to Keep Your Child Safe and Healthy at Camp
Many children look forward to the adventure of summer camp. Not only are summer camps a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, children are able to build friendships with peers and develop the independence and responsibility that comes through time away from parents. Before camp starts, parents can take a few precautions to make sure the week is safe, healthy, and fun.
1. Ask Questions and Complete Health Forms
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, credible camps will have written health policies and standards to protect your child. Be sure to get a copy of these and find out how emergencies are handled. Will a nurse or other medical professional will be on-site or is there a hospital nearby?
Prior to children starting camp, the camp should require a complete physical examination with documentation to include a detailed health history noting any significant illnesses, operations, injuries, food/medication allergies, and current medical problems. If your child has medications, find out what paperwork is needed for medications at camp. Your child will also be required to be up to date on all immunizations. Parents should inform the camp of any physical limitations their child may have and let them know about swimming ability.
2. Avoid Wild Animals and Wild Plants
Children should be advised to stay away from wild animals. As enticing as it may be, they should be told not to feed, touch, or get near wild animals. Wild animals carry diseases, such as bird flu, Lyme disease, ringworm, cat scratch disease, salmonella and more. To discourage wild animals in the camp area, foods should be stored in sealed containers.
Parents should also help their child become familiar with poisonous plants, such as poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac. Instruct your child to avoid these plants. If your child comes in contact with any of these poisonous plants, they should wash or shower immediately and remove their clothing. Clothing should be washed if it has urushiol, the residue from poisonous plants, on the surface. Most importantly, have the avoid scratching, as it may lead to infection. Camp staff should have over-the-counter creams or lotions to reduce itching on hand.
3. Dodge Bug Bites
Because your child will be outdoors, it is important to provide protection against insect and bug bites. Preventing mosquitoes and ticks will help your child avoid the diseases they carry. Insect repellents that contain DEET will help fight the bite. Parents can also protect their child from insect bites by packing long sleeves, long pants, and light-colored clothing, which shows ticks more easily. Ticks should be checked for daily and removed promptly if spotted.
4. Prevent Sunburn
Children should be taught how to apply and reapply sunscreen correctly. Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes prior to exposure, should be rated at least SPF 15, and labeled for UVA and UVB protection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Also be advised that just because the sun isn't out on a cloudy day, your child can still suffer from sunburn. Sun has the strongest UV rays between the hours of 10am and 4pm. Remember to pack long sleeves and long pants (if your child will wear them), wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. These simple items work with sunscreen to better protect your child from UV rays and give great protection to sensitive areas such as the face, scalp, eyes, ears and neck.
5. Regulate the Temperature
Most parents think of heat exhaustion or heat stroke when it comes to temperature-related illnesses. However, if your child will be spending the night outdoors, they may be at risk for hypothermia on those cool nights and mornings. Make sure you supply adequate bedding and clothing for your child to stay warm. Also, send a plastic ground cloth to place on the ground between your child and their sleeping bag to keep them dry and warm.
To prevent heat related illnesses, instruct your child to avoid extended exposure in the sun and to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Let your child know they should drink all day rather than waiting until they become thirsty. Signs of dehydration include dry, cracked lips or mouth; drowsiness or irritability; cold or dry skin; and inability to urinate for eight hours or more. Heat exhaustion symptoms include dizziness, headache, confusion, nausea, and increased sweating. Heat stroke, which is considered a serious condition, includes symptoms such as change in behavior, flushed skin, increased heat rate or breathing, and no sweating. Make sure the summer camp your kids will be attending has trained camped personnel that recognize these warning signs early on.
6. Pack Right
It is always a good idea to pack a first-aid kit for your child even if the camp has one. Good things to include are: bandages/Band-Aids (all sizes), sterile water, sterile gauze pads, adhesive tape, alcohol wipes, cotton balls, Q-tips, soap or hand sanitizer, and an elastic bandage. If your child has allergies, make sure you have packed antihistamines or an Epi-pen for severe food/environmental/insect allergies. As noted above, make sure you have completed any needed paperwork with your doctor from home and the camp for both prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Need a Camp Physical or Fast Access Care?
If your child needs a camp or sports physical, you can reserve a time online for a same-day physical with Cone Health's InstaCare. InstaCare is open seven days a week and provides high quality, fast access care. Adults and children can also get care for acute illnesses, such as rashes, bug bites, coughs, fevers, urinary tract infections, and more.

FRISCO (CBS11) – New commercial drone regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration are now in effect, and the owner of a North Texas drone retailer and training center has already seen a major uptick in business.
"The drone market is probably the fastest growing segment of the electronics industry right now," said Don Garland of Drones Plus Dallas in Frisco.
Garland said his last two drone training classes have been at capacity with people wanting to become certified drone operators.
The FAA now requires the following when operating a drone for commercial purposes:
Operator must be licensed
Drone must be registered
No night flying
No flying more than 400 feet
The unit may not weigh more than 55 pounds.
Garland said now that the regulations are in place and are clear, many people are rushing to become certified. He says it will provide an untapped industry for commercial drone photography.
"The overall total market is $75 billion is what the forecast," said Garland.
Drone enthusiast Taylor Vaughn says he is signed up to become certified because, "I want it to continue doing roof inspections, real estate photography."
Garland said in North Texas the biggest commercial use for drones include building, real estate, and crop surveying.
"Drones are going to become a part of our life," said Garland.

Handbook of Governance and Security
Edited by James Sperling
Chapter 24: Counter-terrorism
Wyn Rees
In the words of Keohane and Nye, governance is 'the processes and institutions, both formal and informal, that guide and restrain the collective activities of a group' (Keohane and Nye 2000: 202). In the absence of an overarching system of authority between states, governance mechanisms enable states to engage in rule-based relationships over a specific issue for a sustained period of time. In the field of security, with issues of state survival at stake, this is a sensitive but also an important issue. If states cannot guarantee their own security, then cooperating with others becomes a vital self-interest. Regularizing that pattern of cooperation grants each participant an expectation of reciprocity and enables states to have confidence in abiding by the agreed constraints. Norms, either informal or codified, are at the heart of the concept of governance and stem from the shared beliefs that regulate and shape the behaviour of participating states. They help to formalize the patterns of cooperation between countries that might otherwise remain unique and unrepeated. They serve to tie states into reciprocal patterns of conduct that introduce predictable relationships within a given issue area. Over time this is likely to have the effect of socializing states and reinforcing their proclivity towards cooperation. The presence of a hegemonic state may play a special role in creating and shaping patterns of security governance.

Human beings have only explored 20% of the ocean, so it stands to reason that there are at least a few things down there that we've never seen before – and these 12 people have some ideas about just what might be lurking undiscovered beneath the waves.
#12. This mental image.
"I have this mental image that pops up to bother me sometimes. It's of me swimming in the middle of the ocean on a sunny day with a huge shadow underneath me. It could be anything. A submarine. A whale. Doesn't matter. It bothers me."
#11. Fingers crossed!
"Mermaids. Definitely mermaids."
#10. Nopes.
"A bunch of aquatic nopes."
#9. Like mermaids but not.
"Crab people."
#8. Imagination station.
A talking sponge with trousers. SpongeBob Squaretrousers.
#7. The disappointing thing.
"There is probably some really freaky and scary stuff. The disappointing thing is that not long after we discover something we get used to it and stop caring.
We have zoos and aquariums full of shit people would have once thought was amazing and horrific, but once you give it a name it just becomes one more thing kids barely pay attention to on field trips."
#6. Not necessarily in that order.
"Hopefully mermaids, underwater cities, and the cure to cancer."
#5. Because maths.
"4x more of the shit we saw in the other 20%."
#4. 10 years ago.
"The pair of glasses I lost in the water some 10 years ago."
#3. Obviously.
"Nazi's occupying Atlantis."
#2. Mystery solved.
"Flight MH370."
#1. Water midgets.
"2 factors I think would suggest what may be down there,
Firstly, id assume the pressure would make whatever lives there smaller, but stronger, kinda like water midgets.
Secondly, there is probably way less food so everything would again be smaller.
Just my guess, pressure could always make them larger due to more muscle mass being needed to move. And there may be tons of weird fish down there, meaning the big bois have lots to feed on, in turn making them massive. Really no idea, it seems the deeper you go the weirder shit gets..I for one am excited to see whats down there one day. (on TV, fuck going down there myself)."

Season 2018-19 Opinion Talking Points
Where are we now and what we need next
I had picked after the Man Utd game to assess, in my opinion, if we had progressed or not under the new regime. Although some of the results so far this season may not have gone the way we all hoped they would, the signs are very promising.
We were out-classed by Arsenal and Man Utd away last season, losing 4-0 and 5-1, and although we came away with zero points again this season, we could've and should've got something out of both games. The way Marco has the team set up and the style of football we are trying to play at least makes it a pleasure to go to the game again, unlike last season.
Being the expert that I am (Not!), it seems obvious to me that we are a 20-goal-a-season striker short of the top 6. All the new and loan signings look like they are capable of doing a job (Mina aside... due to not playing yet) and – most importantly – look like they want to be at the club.
Who would you like us to sign January or the summer that would give us the strike power to push on? Or maybe we should stick with Tosun and Calvert-Lewin or Richarlison up top?
For me, I would like to see Diego Costa in our team – a powerhouse player who would be able to hold the ball up and bring in the attacking talent that we have in midfield? Or would you take Lukaku back? Or are there younger better strikers out there?

January sales etc and I sense theres likelihood of more outgoings than incomings. Costa is always a handful, but Im not sure hed come back to thes shores, but if available hed be worth a risk for a couple of seasons, as he is a handful for the best defenders.
I know many will disagree but I wouldnt take RL, back. For me he showed his true colours, and is according to press now taking about his next move.. to Juve.
Hes never gonna be as good as he thinks, and not the best natural header that youd want for a dynamic deadly CF.
I think Werner would do job but he is also a good footballer and Id see him as a versatile front man.
Heres to good healthy debate on this subject.

4 Posted 04/11/2018 at 01:04:13
I don't see Costa or Lukaku as realistic options. We were loosely linked with Costa during his Chelsea exile last season and if the rumours are true, he decided he would rather not play for 6 months than turn out for us. Lukaku, well that ship sailed and if we are honest he has moved on to bigger and better things; dry patch aside, he will be a regular for Champions League teams for the foreseeable.
In terms of what I think is achievable in January, I would be looking to get in one of three targets: Zaha, Malcom and Piatek.
Zaha has looked very good in an average Palace side for a while now, and this was evident in his recent performance against us, he proved to be a real handful. He looked destined to join the big boys last summer and the upcoming window could be our last opportunity to swoop. There's no doubt this would be a Sigurdsson / Arnautovic style deal where we pay over the odds to attract the 'best from the rest' in both fee and salary.
Malcom has been widely touted for a loan move in January, following a slow start to life at Barcelona. Could we utilise our recent successful transfer dealings to get to the head of the queue? This short-term signing would almost certainly mean Richarlison continues to lead the line. I would be reluctant to stifle Lookman's development, but have concerns about Walcott's productivity.
Finally, Krzysztof Piatek of Genoa. Undoubtedly this would be a gamble. He had a very good season in Poland last year and has now hit a purple patch in Italy, scoring 13 goals in 11 games in all competitions. Of the three, he is the most akin to a traditional Number 9. If we wait until the summer and his form continues, bigger clubs will win this signature.
5 Posted 04/11/2018 at 15:49:27
At the moment, our front line have not yet learnt to be selfless – once they do that and play for each other (like Mane, Salah, Firmino do for the RS), then I don't see the need for a target man. The goals should (ideally) be shared among Richarlison, Bernard, Walcott, Siggy, Lookman, Tosun and Calvert-Lewin.
We should also start converting some of the corners, which is very poor right now. As Lyndon mentioned on the match day report, once everything clicks, we will be a formidable team, which every team in the Premier League will dread playing against.
6 Posted 04/11/2018 at 16:38:07
We are better holding out for the perfect centre forward. I trust brands to find the right guy.
7 Posted 04/11/2018 at 16:52:26
I'd much rather see a speedy, tricky, striker like Lacazette or Martial, one who could interchange positions with the other two up front so that opposition defences basically don't know where the threats coming from.
8 Posted 04/11/2018 at 16:56:54
9 Posted 04/11/2018 at 17:23:17
Even if we spent over the odds for a striker in January, I doubt we would get exactly who we needed as teams aren't going to release their best players mid-season unless it's for daft money.
I doubt our league position will drastically change between now and the end of the season if we bring in one or two players. Silva and Brands will know now who is up for sale in the close season or available through end of contacts etc.
Stick with what we have and concentrate in January on shipping more players out. Niasse, Schneiderlin, Besic, Jagielka et al.
Let's see where we are at the end of the season, get players in early doors, and have a really good pre-season.
10 Posted 04/11/2018 at 17:44:52
I personally think Calvert-Lewin will come good.
11 Posted 04/11/2018 at 18:13:31
Richarlison reminds me of Christiano Ronaldo with his steely determination and fearlessness. Like Ronaldo, he clearly lives and breathes the game and is in fantastic condition.
I reckon he's targeting being the league's top scorer and believes he can do it. I think we're about to watch a special player improve week by week and nobody will be asking for a new striker in January.
12 Posted 04/11/2018 at 18:28:52
The focus should be on improving quality right throughout the squad, including the bench, which isn't strong enough in my opinion. We now need depth in quality beyond the first eleven in practically all areas.
We should be looking to replace Stekelenburg, Jagielka, Schneiderlin, Tosun and possibly Davies next summer with much better.
13 Posted 04/11/2018 at 18:33:49
Alas, Chris, we won't be the only ones watching, and those asking may be from other clubs – asking for Richarlison.
14 Posted 05/11/2018 at 19:24:56
He also reiterated his belief in promoting young players into the squad, again he said he can understand the frustration of 1 or 2 of the younger players having to wait for their chance. He talks about Lookman and can understand why Leipzig was an interesting proposition but said he sees Lookman as the future at Everton.
He went on to say he knows to get the time he wants to build this club into a team challenging for the top honours, he will need to win something. But he stressed he has only been here a few months and will need a little patience for him to achieve the success the fans crave.
15 Posted 08/11/2018 at 15:52:56
Like others above have stated, I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin will come good and become a very good Premier League striker.
He has good touch, can see a pass and has very good pace for a tall guy; we all know he needs to improve on his finishing and become an Andy Cole type player (three chances = one goal).
He has suffered since coming to us in that he has played as a number 9, 10, 11, 7 and even a right-wing back by Koeman.
If we are able to (Niasse doesn't leave), I'd like to see him sent on loan for 6 months - and the team that takes him made to play him upfront. If he plays upfront for the rest of the season the loan is free; if not they start paying.
Then by the time the Summer comes around he'll have hopefully notched over 10 goals and be ready for the #9 shirt.
16 Posted 08/11/2018 at 16:37:40
He is not yet a Lukaku but in 5 appearances and 6 games coming on as sub he has scored 4 goals and on many of those occasions he was not leading the line.
He is excellent in the air and wins many 50/50s unlike Tosun.
He is good at holding the ball up and linking play.
He is still young enough to develop and improve.
On the other hand he is not yet ready to lead a top six side but you have to ask yourself who is available Vardy, Dzecko, Costa, Giroud etc all the wrong side of 30 and in decline.
There does not appear to be a prolific striker coming through the ranks and it may well be that the likes of a Hazard or Salah may well be the way forward with 3 interchangeable up front.
17 Posted 08/11/2018 at 19:10:43
I rate Zaha highly, there isn't a team in the Premier League that isn't scared of him. I very much doubt he will be going anywhere till next summer and to a team in the Champions League. And Steve Ferns, he isn't anything like Richarlison.
18 Posted 12/11/2018 at 05:58:14
Let's give the guys some time. Richarlison is adapting to playing up top and the team is adapting to play to his strengths.
Costa would be a dream signing but, realistically, not one we would make in the near future.
I still think that Tosun & Calvert-Lewin have a lot to offer, and they are very different, which is nice for a manager!
Play them off the bench for now and give them a start in the game that needs us to hold the ball up and bring the wingers into the game more.
19 Posted 12/11/2018 at 06:00:25
Also, it's time for Ademola Lookman to take the left-wing spot; Bernard has had his fair crack – now it's time for Mola to bring his flair to the party.
Bernard still in with a shout, with Walcott also under pressure.
20 Posted 17/11/2018 at 20:16:18
Man City and, a distance behind, Liverpool are Level 1... and a big distance behind we have:
Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea, and Arsenal at Level 2
Then we have a glut of clubs including Everton at Level 3
And then Level 4, the relegation-troubled clubs about 6 of these.
We have a long way to go and the appointment of Koeman and the money he spent plus the reputational damage we did to our name, particularly in Europa League under Koeman, has put us back years. So settle in for baby steps over the next year or two...
21 Posted 27/11/2018 at 16:36:37
Man City have Aguero;
Spurs have Kane;
Arsenal have Abamayang and Lacazette;
Man Utd have Lukaku
Chelsea have Giroud
The RS are the only team in the top 6 without a typical centre-forward.
To say we don't need a centre-forward scoring 18 to 25 goals is wrong. Richarlison may be that player but he has a lot of areas to improve on. I think he's only playing there because he's more of a threat than Tosun and Calvert-Lewin.
The continued links to Barbosa would suggest that Brands/Silva are indeed looking at a typical centre-forward He fits the profile of a young player that made the big move too soon and with a point to prove the same as Digne, Mina, Gomes
To break the sky 6 we need a centre-forward. >Imagine a prime Lukaku (with his head in the right place) finishing some of the chances we created this season... He had a lot of faults in his game but scoring wasn't one of them.

Softball's season started off with sunny match-ups in Florida, yet has recently ended in chills as the team fell to last in the NESCAC West. The team finished off their regular season—their entire season, since they will not advance—last weekend with three games against Williams.
The Ephs vs. Cardinals action started with two home match-ups on Saturday, Apr. 27. Before the doubleheader began, Wesleyan honored its two seniors: Kendall Carr and Olivia Gorman. Both have done much for the Wesleyan athletics scene; Carr is also a member of the women's ice hockey team, and Gorman is a tri-season athlete, playing soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter. Both women were a part of the team's leadership council this season, along with sophomores Alyssa DaSilva, Brenna Monroe, and Danielle Rinaldi.
After the team's celebration, they moved into tough competition. In order to advance into the postseason, the Cardinals weren't the only team that needed to deliver; Middlebury, up against Amherst in a similar weekend series, also needed to dominate.
Both Wesleyan and Middlebury could not fulfill their NESCAC destiny, each team falling in all three games of their respective weekend play.
The Cards took a 3-0 hit in the first matchup of the day. Despite allowing Williams three runs on five hits, Brenna Monroe '21 shone on the mound by striking out eight of the northwest MA players. Williams scored all of its runs at the top of the fourth, and five different members of the team garnered a hit, including a home run from Gabi Medvene-Cirigliano.
The Cardinals struggled with their offensive play, as no Red and Black player recorded a hit. The Williams pitcher only walked two batters and struck out 12.
In game two of the surprisingly chilly April afternoon, Williams quickly got ahead of Wes, not wasting any time as they got on the board in the first inning. After a single score in the first and four more in the top of the second, Wesleyan finally retaliated with a single run. First-year Sophia Sciarappa led the effort with an infield single and remained on first until a walk brought Wes batters to first and second. Carr followed up with a single to right field, allowing a home team score before the end of the inning.
Unfortunately, this would be the Cardinals' only offensive action of the day. Williams, on the other hand, added two more runs in the top of the third, taking a 7-1 lead. Monroe relieved Rinaldi in the fourth and only surrendered two hits in her four innings on the mound. This kept Williams to its six-run lead for the rest of the game, ending in a 7-1 Wes loss.
With a night under their belts, the Red Birds came out early on Sunday for their final matchup of the season. Williams started strong with a close attempt at a run. They quickly loaded the bases in the first, yet Wesleyan recorded a third out to shut down the Ephs' offensive attempt. The Cardinals mirrored their opponents' effort in the bottom of the inning. Wes loaded the bases as Maddie Ikeda '21 and Marina Williams '22 hit singles and Sciarappa followed with a walk. The Red and Black then got a taste of their own medicine as they were denied any offensive victory. Their next two hitters struck out to finish the scoreless inning.
The matchup remained competitive in the third, but Williams struck big in the fourth with three runs at the top of the inning. Wesleyan attempted to strike back in the fifth as DaSilva singled, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, and looked close to home after stealing third. Although the Cardinals kept their runners on first and third, they could not complete the journey around the bases.
Monroe struggled to repeat her defensive efforts of the previous day, allowing four runs on eight hits in just four innings. Williams finished the game with one more run, taking a 5-0 victory to seal the Cardinals' fate.
After floating around .500 for the first half of the season, a slew of tough NESCAC losses at the end of the run leaves the Cardinals at .364 and 12-21 overall. They finish their season last in the NESCAC West with a 1-11 conference record.
"This season I think we struggled to finish out games," Gorman said, reflecting on the tough season. "A lot of games came down to the lack of execution on only a few plays. Losing because of minor detail things is super frustrating, but it's fixable in the future."
The future for the team looks bright, at least offensively; two Wes underclassmen made the NESCAC rankings for top batting average this season. Sciarappa led the team, garnering a .365 and 15th in the 'CAC. Lauren Gaffney-Gomez '21 followed in 39th with a .308 average. In order to make the rankings, a player needs to have not only a great batting average, but also a minimum of 2.5 plate appearances per game and an appearance in at least three-quarters of all team games.
"This team is young, and there is a lot of talent," Gorman said. "With some hard work and good productive coaching, this team could be really good in the future."

Thanks cindiras for the idea. Hope it will works
Your pictorial is great. A soldering gun is easier than a drill. Thanks.
This is such great information. I just ordered a bunch of s/h stuff so when my new plants arrive, I'm going to give it a go. I've ordered a compot of Wilsonara Pacific Passage 'Rocket Burst' and there are nine plants in the 3 1/2 inch pot. They're going to have to be repotted. In addition to Prime Agra, I ordered more 3 1/2 inch pots (are those going to be too big?) and some root growth stuff.
Just one question though. I had one plant that was in hydroton, but without a reservoir. The plant kept falling over, so I finally gave up and repotted it in bark (did fine in the bark). So what keeps the plant upright (or whichever direction it wants to go).
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I want to try s/h but I am agonizing over the medium. The PA seems to be popular but I saw a material called hygrostone. The tests posted seemed to do better than PA and it was physically better suited to holding the plants in place (heavier and more irregular). The only place I could find that sold it is out of business. Does anyone have any idea if it is sold under another brand name?
I also do not understand why most everyone seems to be using clear plastic pots. It would seem to me that all this accomplishes is to cause algae growth inside the pot.
Alternety. The clear plastic pot allows you to see root growth without disturbing the plant. When the roots are covering most of the edges of the pot, you know it is time to pot up one size. I use Prime Agra right now, but constatnly on the look out for a similar product available in my area so I don't have to pay so much shipping!
I grow mostly everything in semi-hydro and I rarely repot. Here's a link to my Ansellia in semi-hydro: http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchid...oly-roots.html. The roots were busting out of the pot!
I think as long as you can provide good humidity and ventilation to both its foliage and roots, it should do well.
I tried two different methods of growing one of my common Phal. hybrids. Both started with almost all their roots trimmed off and comes with 4 leaves each.
One tied with its roots in a ball of sphagnum moss tied to a fern bark slab.
While the other tied to just a plain fern bark slab.
my growing area is bright and breezy and I water both of them once in the morning and once in the evening.
1 year later today, the one with the Sphagnum moss has 12 leaves and a 18 flower blooms (spiked 3 months ago). While the other struggled with only 4 unhealthy looking leaves and no spike... I guess my area is too windy even though the air is humid all year round.
In this video, you can actually see Phalaenopsis is growing with all their roots exposed on tree branches, but the swampy environment ensures that it get good humidity.
So back to the same point, as long as you can provide good ventilation and humidity to your Phal. I'm sure it will thrive in various kinds of growing media...
I found this thread very informative, since I've been thinking about trying SH. I haven't really understood it, until I read all of the information here. The potting tutorial is great! Thanks. I didn't see anything about how often to fertilize. Would someone speak about that. I apologize, if it was already explained and I missed it.
the same as in bark mix almost. fertilize a teeny, tiny bit every week- once a month flush the pot with clear water. Or my favorite! The lazy way. I use 1/4 teaspoon of time release fertilizer pellots per 'pot' every three months. Heavy feeders get it every two months (cymbidiums) and large pots of say 6 inches get a scant 1/2 teaspoon of pellots.

Christopher Sabec is the co-founder and CEO of Rightscorp INC, a copyright monetization company located just outside of Los Angeles in Santa Monica, California. Mr. Sabec has represented multiple music professionals, protecting them from illegal downloaders online.
The first copyright law was set in 1710. It was called the Statute of Anne, and it was implemented to protect the ownership of created materials done by its author. This material was to be protected for fourteen years. 1909 brought a very different recording industry than seen before, thus calling for a revision in the US Copyright Act. The law changed both the scope of works that could be considered under the copyright law as well as extending the protection time from fourteen to twenty-eight years. The revision was set forth to both make sure that the artist was able to obtain a fair return on investment while protecting the public interest at the same time.
Digital piracy began when Bill Gates put out the first personal computer. In 1997, the Digital Millennium Copyrights Act made Internet Service Providers liable for their customers caught illegally downloading digital media. This act also increased the penalties for copyright infringement.
The scope of the music industry changed in 1999 when Northeastern University student, Shawn Fanning, developed the first Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software, Napster. In the next ten years, the music industry was cut in half from about $14 Billion in 1999 to around $6.5 billion in 2009. Global P2P traffic was close to 45% of global consumer Internet traffic and more than twice as much as web browsing. This was a major problem for musicians trying to make a living for themselves, so copyright monetization companies, such as Rightscorp, were able to come out of the woodwork.
Christopher Sabec co-founded Rightscorp with his business partner to protect the intellectual property done by musicians and other artist. Rightscorp represents the copyright holder by offering settlements to people who are caught illegally download music, videos, and videogames. Rightscorp sends illegal downloaders a settlement letter giving them options for financial restitution, collects the money, and gives it back to its appropriate owner, the copyright holder. Rightscorp has done work for some of the biggest Hollywood studios and agencies in the industry such as Warner Brothers Studios and BMG Rights Management.
Rightscorp uses innovative software to find and catch illegal downloaders by monitoring worldwide P2P networks. They combine forces with Internet Service Providers, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, to demand payment from those who are caught illegally downloading digital media. If the person illegally downloading music does not comply, then their Internet Service Provider will remove them from their system.
Christopher Sabec's wordpress on Rightscorp and copyright law will keep people up to date with current copyright law news and other industry matters of his choosing.

Agency seeking to break down monopolies in the industry, and tackle unemployment, poverty and inequality
The South African National Roads Agency (SOC) Limited (SANRAL) and the National African Federated Building Industry (NAFBI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop small contractors.
The agreement is aimed at providing mentorship, guidance and coaching to emerging contractors to enable them to participate in road construction and maintenance projects.
NAFBI is an autonomous, non-profit organisation responsible for economic access facilitation, capacity building and business linkages with the aim of transforming the construction industry in South Africa.
According to Ismail Essa, SANRAL Transformation Manager, the two parties entered into an agreement on matters of mutual interest in order to best serve their strategic, transformation and empowerment interests by exploring options and solutions to maximise the participation of small contractors in SANRAL projects.
"SANRAL is currently reviewing its procurement documents to enable small black-owned contractors to access more work opportunities on SANRAL projects. Most of these contractors require assistance and mentorship before, during and post the tendering phase to win the tender and then execute the project successfully while making a reasonable return," he said.
Essa said that through this initiative SANRAL seeks to break down monopolies in the industry, and tackle societal ills that include unemployment, poverty and inequality.
Other agreements
The MOU agreed on 14 February 2019 at the SANRAL Central Operations Centre (COC) is one of a number recently signed by the roads agency to level the playing fields in the industry.
In July 2018, SANRAL signed an agreement with Bell Equipment to allow small businesses access to construction equipment, which is one of the major critical factors to successfully deliver on projects.
This was followed by another agreement with Barloworld Equipment for access to CAT earthmoving machines and CAT power systems in southern Africa. SANRAL also signed an MOU with Wirtgen Group South Africa for access to machinery.
What the NAFBI agreement entails
As part of the agreement, SANRAL will conduct information sessions from time to time for capacity building and information sharing and will invite NAFBI to provide mentoring in the areas of technical competence, financial and human resource activities, as well as contractual and legislative matters.
NAFBI National President Aubrey Tshalata believes the partnership with SANRAL is key and is a giant step in preparing their members in all nine provinces to be ready to participate in SANRAL projects.
Tshalata said: "NAFBI has a membership of 6 840 contractors, mostly from townships, Villages, Small towns and are active in local projects.
"This will bring about local economic growth, improve quality on projects, improve skills and accelerate black economic empowerment in a meaningful way. We want to develop real sustainable contractors who are able to compete and perform."
The MOU will be in place for a period of five years with the option to renew if both parties agree.

It's been a busy few weeks here at MPOW, with school starting up again and an influx of worried, excited, nervous, and hopeful first-year students. It's fun to watch as they gather and make friends, and it's equally as fun to see the students who are now upperclassmen strut about as they flaunt their inside knowledge. It's all fun.
I've been asked to be the faculty adviser for both the acapella singing group and the African cultural group, both of which I readily and humbly accepted. While I'm pretty conversant with singing, I'm much less so with African culture. I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about the the different cultures, about how we might be similar and how we are surely different. (One of the students was telling me yesterday about a dish they remembered with great fondness, describing it so wistfully it was obvious it was a cherished meal. Given that it was a fish that contained roe and was cooked – and served – whole, I was not at all convinced. Of course, their reactions when I described lutefisk were equally horrified.)
It occurs to me that these opportunities are what much of society is lacking of late. We are, most of us, so intent on looking at our various devices that we don't look up and chat up the person next to us. (Well, I do. Just ask DBF.) We are mostly aware of our own culture and heritage, but don't inquire as to others. Is it a lack of curiosity? A fear of looking foolish? Or offending? In any case, the fact that we don't seem to talk to each other anymore is making us insular, and suspicious of those unlike us.
It's as if we've traveled back in time, when you were wary of those not from your village. Short of yanking phones out of the hands of passersby, how do we bridge that gap?
Libraries help, of course. They're gathering spaces and gatherers and disseminators of knowledge. They have programs that allow you to meet your neighbor and get to know them a bit.
With the almost incomprehensible events of the last few days, I can't help but wonder whether the lack of connection with each other didn't play a part. We hear all too often that the perpetrators of this kind of carnage were loners, they had few friends, they were quiet neighbors. I don't know whether connecting with someone like that would help or not, but I can't help but think that it wouldn't hurt.
In any case, I'll be learning about Ghana and Ethiopia and Liberia in the next few weeks. I can't wait. And maybe I can pass along a bit about German and French and Irish and Norwegian culture, as well. Connection is a good thing.

SPH Plant offer CCTV drain survey services in Shropshire, across the Midlands and beyond.
Using the latest advanced CCTV technology, any problems unseen from ground level can be detected and located with minimal disruption to the surface. We use a variety of camera units to provide detailed video footage, which quickly and efficiently help us identify the problem. We also have Sonding equipment and use die tracing, which are used for locating purposes.
We can reach any location using either our van pac or off-road CCTV Trac Cam unit. When it is necessary for the pipeline to be completely clear prior to pipe relining, we can combine our CCTV and Van Pac jetters. The combination of the two, drives robotic precision cutters capable of removing large roots and intruding connections.
If you work in construction such as restoration projects and new builds it may be necessary to have a CCTV drainage survey for the client's approval and building inspectors pass.
Once the cctv survey is complete, SPH Plant can provide a full detailed structural report using the latest software. Our clients are then able to see whether any remedial work needs to be carried out. If this is the case, we are able to offer a cost effective competitive quote.
All of our operators are trained and assessed by WITA (Water Industry Training Association).

Meanwhile, upstairs, The Red-Headed Step-Realtor confronts Darling Sammy. Sam's eyes dart across a nearby sheet of glass that just happens to catch The Realtor's reflection and...she's a soul-sucking Changeling just like the little ones! Only, you know, bigger. With a crappier wig. Sam hems and haws and winces and gulps his remarkably broad-shouldered way into an immensely grateful METAL TEETH CHOMP! I think the METAL TEETH CHOMP! is a Samgirl.
Back from the break, Darling Sammy's still hemming and hawing and wincing and gulping while The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor threatens to call the cops.
Down in the basement, The Great Ankle-Biter Breakout Of 2007 continues apace. Dean is most disturbed, however, to find the real Red-Headed Step-Realtor occupying one of the cages. That doesn't fit the plan!
Upstairs, crafty Sammy craftily retrieves a jury-rigged flamethrower of his own from his backpack and blasts it in The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor's direction, but she's already disappeared! DUN!
Down in the basement, The Great Ankle-Biter Breakout Of 2007 continues apace.
Over at Lisa's tastefully appointed Manse That Yoga Instruction Built, meanwhile, The Demonic Little Bastard's hungry. Uh oh. Lisa rises to bake him a great big pizza pie but startles herself into silence when she spots his reflection's rotting skull-face with lamprey maw in the mirrored coffee table. DUN!
Down in the basement, The Great Ankle-Biter Breakout Of 2007 continues apace. Until The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor arrives to break up all the fun, that is. Demented Diana's actual daughter screams.
The Manse That Yoga Instruction Built. The Demonic Little Bastard, with a little assist from a trio of his dead-eyed friends out on the front lawn, traps Lisa inside the house.
Meanwhile, over at Batshit Acres, Demented Diana's locked herself in the bathroom again and slowly goes even more insane when The Demonic Daughter arrives to pound and kick and scream some more from the hallway outside.
Down in the basement, The Great Ankle-Biter Breakout Of 2007 continues apace. Mainly because The Ginormotron stormed downstairs just ahead of The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor and now hoists all of the ankle-biters out through a shattered window fifteen feet above the basement floor while The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor knocks the crap out of Li'l Stumpy. Oh, sorry. My bad. The Demonic Red-Headed Step-Realtor is actually knocking the crap out of both Our Intrepid Heroes, and it's the remarkably resourceful Little Bastard who's leading the ankle-biters to safety. Whatever. The hand-to-hand's pretty awesome, though. I do so appreciate it when women hand them their tantalizing asses on a platter. "I've noticed that about you!" shrieks Raoul. "I think you have a problem!" Oh, can it, Mr. Big Scary Dragon Who Wets His Pants Whenever A Little Girl Hits The Screen. "Hey!"

Flow Industries expertise was engaged by a local manufacturing plant to complete the turn-key design, supply and install of a heating boiler package to replace the existing inefficient and troublesome cast iron hot water boiler. This project was successfully completed in a one day window; it included installing a new balance flue system through the roof, adapting the pipework including the gas and water into the existing system, and commissioning the boiler ready for production again on the following Monday.
The boiler selected was a 120 KW high efficiency stainless steel natural gas fired boiler, that would provide 20 to 30% more efficient energy consumption than the existing cast iron natural draft boiler. The whole project was completed and commissioned by Flow Industries to the delight of the production and maintenance team at the manufacturing plant. Also Flow Industries gave a video handover to the maintenance personnel to enable them to operate the control of the boiler and understand any fault codes if they arose.

The power of the STATE is the excessive power of its hand picked judges
Royal parasite thanks her hand picked judicial lackeys for screwing millions of men in secret family court hearings
You will hear them wittering on about the need for judges to be independent of the state . That THEY, who have given themselves untold powers by stealth while eroding the jury system, mask the unbridled powers of a judiciary hell bent on protecting the ruling establishment while manipulating THEIR laws to enslave the peasantry.
Obama and his wife are law society goffers , Tony Blair and his wife are law society goffers , Clinton and his wife are law society goffers and David Cameron, an Eton groomed toff, has even more power than former prime ministers thanks to his indoctrination into the satanic teachings going on just along the road from the old witches tower in Windsor, and where her henchmen indoctrinate future Prime Ministers into the art of duping the sheeple into believing they have a democracy.
The British royals are behind a global law society and THEIR legal system centred and controlled in London , enforced by the secret bidding of the freemasonic cabal of royalist henchmen ensuring ONLY her , her parasitic offspring and henchmen remain the richest despots on the planet. EVERYTHING else pales and is a massive smokescreen to hide the REAL terrorists made up of a bunch of judicial lackeys poncing around in their robes and regalia not realising that even dressing up a turd doesn't change its constituent parts.
They have been working overtime using their media lackeys to prop these evil bastards up where they regularly use comments made by a judge in cases where perverts are going down. This gives the judiciary some sort of moral high ground as they sentence them despite the fact they are the ultimate murderous destroyers of men not part of their five million strong gang of thugs and bullyboys controlling the global superstate by stealth.
But men are learning fast their esoteric tricks of the trade used to bleed the peasants , especially men for far to long . Their scams are running out of steam as thousands of former victims who survived their murderous tyranny now have a global platform to warn others about the impending danger of putting their trust in a system of law that only feeds the global rich and their masonic minions.

Is there a way to walk to somewhere far away?
I'm not necessarily talking about auto explore (like in other games like DCSS) but it would be a nice feature.
I'm talking about something like a path searching algorithm (A* for instance, actually, I'd wager that even a flood fill algorithm would work) that could for instance use only explored squares and that one could use to walk from spot A to B.
The map is huge and it is quite boring to have to manually control the character to walk from one place to the other.

Mr Yusuf Alireza, chief executive of beleaguered commodity trader Noble Group, yesterday stunned the market by resigning with immediate effect, citing family reasons.
In a separate announcement, the mainboard-listed group said it is about to start the sale process for its electricity trading unit Noble Americas Energy Solutions - "expected to generate both significant cash proceeds and profits to substantially enhance the balance sheet".
Investors did not react well to the news, with Noble shares slumping 2.5 cents or 8.2 per cent to close at 28 cents. They have shed a hefty 30 per cent so far this year.
Mr Alireza, 45, a former Goldman Sachs banker, had been with Noble for four years.
Noble has been battling a commodity price slump and allegations of accounting inaccuracies since February last year when it was accused by Iceberg Research of overstating its assets by billions of dollars, a claim it has rejected.
This February, it reported its first annual loss in nearly two decades, battered by a US$1.2 billion (S$1.6 billion) writedown for weak coal prices. The counter was knocked out of the benchmark Straits Times Index after its share price slumped 65 per cent last year.
The group said Mr Alireza has "helped guide Noble through a very challenging period", moving it towards an asset-light model, selling its Noble Agri business and re-financing its debt.
"With this transformation process now largely complete, Mr Alireza considered that the time was right for him to move on."
Mr Alireza holds some 27.1 million Noble shares. Data from ShareInvestor shows he bought five million shares on March 5 last year at $1.0058 apiece, which means he has taken a loss of at least $3.6 million on the shares.
Mr Alireza will be replaced by executive director William Randall and Noble Americas president Jeff Frase. They will share the CEO title.
Hong Kong-based Mr Randall began his career with Noble in Australia in February 1997, establishing coal operations, mining and supply chain management businesses.
Mr Frase, based in the US, joined Noble from JP Morgan in New York where he was managing director and global head of oil trading.
Prior to JP Morgan, he spent 17 years at Goldman Sachs as a managing director and global head of crude oil and derivatives trading.
Noble chairman and executive director Richard Elman said: "I am delighted Will and Jeff will be leading Noble Group's operations as we embark on the company's next chapter. Their complementary commodities expertise and geographical focus will be hugely valuable as we position ourselves for the future."
Analysts agreed the move was unexpected but said the group's strategy will likely remain the same.
"The details around the leadership transition are still quite sketchy. But the co-chief executives are from within the company, so they have a good understanding of the business," OCBC Investment Research analyst Carey Wong told The Straits Times.
"What's most important for the new management is to continue beefing up their balance sheet and improving liquidity," he added.
"The potential sale of its US energy solutions business is a move in the correct direction, in line with its strategy to become asset light."
A Moody's Investors Service note said the change in management has "no immediate impact" on the company's negative rating outlook.
"The change in management does not change the drivers of the negative outlook, which reflects uncertainty regarding the company's ability to rebuild and reposition its operations to improve profitability, cash flow and liquidity amid the prolonged commodity down cycle."
But Mr Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, director of research at Religare Capital Markets in Singapore, believes the management changes are "less relevant" than the company's value proposition, saying: "We are bullish on the stock. It is trading at a vast discount to its book value."

Removing the shoulder rest, the player places the instrument on the collar bone, keeping the head up off the chin rest. Using the right hand to put the instrument in place means that the left arm and shoulder are at rest, and not predetermining the position of the instrument out of habit. The player then swings the left hand up towards the instrument, and holds the instrument balanced on the collar bone with the left hand on the body of the instrument and during the squaring off procedure.
Observing the violin position using two mirrors.
Watching herself in the mirror, the player bows an up-bow from the tip until her elbow forms a right angle. She then positions the instrument so that the bow and the strings also form a right angle. It helps to have the bow arm freely hanging at the side of the body before you begin, and to start the up bow on the e-string. This helps you bend the elbow with the least amount of tension, avoiding interference of bowing habits.
1. Elbow at right angle
2. Bow and string at right angle
Use the right hand to re-position the instrument around. This helps avoid any contractions in the left arm and shoulder. Correcting the angle of the instrument by pushing the left shoulder forward and twisting the back are common habits that should be avoided. A simple nudge on the body of the instrument with the right hand will rotate the instrument into the desired position.
1. Adjust the position of the violin using the right hand.
2. Rotating violin into desired position for smaller arms. (Taller players may need to rotate the instrument in the opposite direction.)
Measure the angle of the violin to the arm:
By squaring off the right arm at the elbow joint, we can then see if the violin is in a good position for bowing straight. When the bow arm is squared off, the angle of the bow on the string indicates how far out of alignment the violin is to the arm of the player.
1. Squaring off: elbow, hand, bow and strings making three sides of a square
2. After squaring off: bow is straight

I opined here a few days ago that Recker was brought up to be the personal catcher for Bartolo in a semi-desperate attempt to help him right the ship. The fact that d'Arnaud started again today, day game after a night game, seems to support that theory. Even though under any normal circumstances Travis would have gotten the day off today, TC did not want to start Recker two games in a row.
I'd put $50 on Recker behind the plate tomorrow in the first game against the Bucs. That's why he's here.
James Preller
- August 13, 2015 at 3:51 PM
Yeah, I'd parlay that with Recker going 0-4 tomorrow. That way we can really cash in!
Just for the record: Colon's last start with Recker catching was perhaps his worst this year: 10 hits and 6 ER in 2.1 innings, prior to which as I think you know there was a lot of talk about Recker being his personal catcher.
So I wonder how much of that was just happenstance? We'll see. This is money I'd happily fork over.
- August 13, 2015 at 4:49 PM

I'll take a 9 run win any time. I'd have brought Recker in for the last inning or 2 to give d'Arnaud a breather. Even without a 3rd catcher.

I believe they sent Plaw out to get him reset offensively----he is likely to be the 2nd catcher if they go to the playoffs.

Try to remove the Nero Software as it is known to conflict with a lot of other video editing software.
Consult your manual. If you have a DV output on your camera, you need a DV to IEEE1394 or firewire going into your computer. Which means you are going to need a firewire card. If you don't know what these things are, I suggest you do some reading and study some more before you attempt to do any video transferring.
Keith, what video editing software do you use? I have SP2 and I never had any problems. How are your drivers? have you done any other updates?

If you have eject problems, eject and shut system down. Wait 3 to 5 mins and reinsert tape. It may take several attempts before it works properly. The chip inside the camcorder has to reset itself.
If none of these suggestions work, your camcorder will need servicing.

Many JVC camcorders that use DV/Firewire/1394 links to a PC use a different transfer speed than what is normally used in most all other camcorders/decks. In most cases, a camcorder will work "well" with any version of Windows. However, the second that they switch to Service Pack 2, the camcorder stops capturing (blank screen & no sound, but the PC can still control the camcorder). If this is your problem - here is the answer you are looking for....
>>>Many people have tried a similar method - however mine is a little different, so do it again with me anyways if it didn't work for you...<<<
1. Plug in camcorder to computer VIA firwire/1394. , but turn camcorder power OFF.
2. Download and install patch "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885222/" - don't listen to the instructions - just install patch. and NO RESTART!
3. Go to START>RUN> and type "regedit".
4. scroll to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENTCONTROLLSET/ENUM/.
5. Right-Click the PCI folder and select FIND.
6. type in "sidspeed" and and hit ENTER
7. in the right window you should double-click "SidSpeed" - change the value to 3. Hit OK and exit and then FILE> EXIT.
8. Turn on the camcorder in VCR mode. Start playing the DV tape. Start restarting your computer. Leave the camcorder running all throughtout the process. When the computer boots up, click on MY COMPUTER. You should see an icon with your comcorder on it. Double click on this icon. Do you see video? If so, EXCELLENT!. if not, continue on.........
Change the REGEDIT, SIDspeed value to 1. Restart with same process of camera being on and going to MY COMPUTER. If this doesn't work again, well then email me. (firstname.lastname@example.com) We will get to the bottom of this.

Here is the easiest way to solve the transfer problem with th JVC GR-D33 and maybe the GR-D73.
Follow these step, they work for me:
1)Turn off computer and camera.
2)Turn On camera on the "play" mode.
3)Turn on PC.
4)Now open a video capture software, it must work.
Note: Do not use IMAGE MIXER, use a real software like Premiere Pro, Vegas.
The real problem is that JVC and Firewire cards are not always compatible unless the Firewire card have the Texas Instruments chip (TI).
Hope it works for you!

Capture does not work but if you unplug firewire cable from computer and plug it back immediately but in different port it starts to work.
You can always use same two ports, as it is not port problem. This was only way for me to get it to work and it servs me fine...

Look in device manager for a device called "1394 etc". That is firewire.
If not already present, PCI or PCMCIA firewire cards are very cheap.

1. Turn on the camera and plug firefire into computer (computer should be off)
2. leave camera on, but without playing anything in VCR mode. Turn on computer.
3. Once computer starts, and everything has loaded in, start playing some movie
on the camcorder, and then bring up MY COMPUTER and double-click on the cameras
icon. You should see a grey box (which is what your problem is in the first
4. Then, exit my computer and stop playing the movie, but keep the camcorder on.
5. Put your computer into standby and then bring it out of standby a few seconds
later. (it sounds stupid, but it worked for some people...)
6. Once you see your screen again, and have logged in, play a movie again and
then double-click on your camcorders icon in MY COMPUTER. DO YOU SEE A MOVIE?
Once again, keep emailing me if it doesn't work (firstname.lastname@example.com)....

JVC GR-D74U Digital Video Piece of...
I'm running winxp media center edition with amd 64x2 processor and 1gb ram so I shouldn't have any problems. The computer is 3 months old, and came with winXP Service Pack 2, I have NO CHOICE but to run with the service pack as the CD came with it integrated!
After spending literally HOURS trying to get the damn camera working with the PC, searching the web, reading your website [www.jvc.ca] (which doesn't say a THING about my camera ANYWHERE in customer service!) via firewire, I finally called JVC Technical Support only to be told flatly that the camera won't work with winXP service pack 2. The tech rep did not care about anything but ending the call - do I have any options? no she said, it's up to me to do whatever I want. It won't work and that's that.
I called Airmiles, they told me to talk to JVC. So, I guess I have NO OPTION and no digital video camera.

I tried the fixes Eric C. Brown suggested, downloading the Microsoft patch and regedit to first change the SidSpeed to 3, restarting, when that didn't work I tried setting SidSpeed to 1, restarting with the camera playing, but that didn't work either. Though I really had my doubts because I wasn't having trouble getting it to work at first, the camcorder had stopped communicating with my computer for whatever reason. I have 2 hard drives in my computer, both running Windows XP SP2 and have the drivers installed for Turtle Beach Video Advantage DV port. Both hard drives & operating systems when booted up, used to recognize the camera, and now they don't - neither one.
I also have 2 firewire cables to connect the camera to my computer, so I tried switching the cables out, and still no recognition on either hard drive, so it's not a cable problem. Do you think the problem could be the camcorder? Has anyone ever known a digital camcorder's firewire port go bad? Or possibly the Video Advantage's firewire port in my computer (even though Windows XP system properties says it is working)? I can't think of what else it could be, but I'm hoping to hear from someone before I go to the trouble and expense of sending my camcorder in for repair. Is there anything else I can try? PLEASE HELP!

I could not capture video through firewire.
Camera was recognized and I could control tape but I could not see anything on preview.
It took me long time and 2 firewire cards + onboard firewire to figure out the problem.
This JVC camcorder does NOT work with firewire adapters that are based on VIA chipset.
Sadly most onboard and cheap firewire adapters are in this category. Since I got TI ( texas instruments) chip based firewire adapter I had no problems at all.
I hope this helps people having same problems.
It is dificult to find TI based card since most manufacturers don't list that information.
Here is card that worked fine for me with JVC camcorder http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=S94-1054

I am only posting this once so as to -- hopefully help out those with JVC camcorders w/Firewire interface that are not getting recognized by XP SP2.
I also NOT some techie, so please don't pick my brains (leave me questions). I spent a whole night and morning trying to find the right solution on the Net, drinking way too much coffee.
Short version: You're on your own, but maybe saved - lol.
What I found out in my long wee hours is that there are various workarounds on the Net that work or don't.
Some involving a Windows patch called "WindowsXP-KB885222-v2-x86-ENU.exe" -- but it's a mess to go that route, and in many cases, you hit a brick wall for it won't install.
If you breath and take it one step at at time, you'll find out that worked for me is pretty simple to do. It's just a few paragraphs of instructions.
The reason I have posted here is that if what I found works for my old GRDVL-120U (6 years old model! -- as of the date of this posting), it should work for newer ones like what you all have posted.
A) You have upgraded from SP1 to SP2 somewhere down the line.
B) Your system or disk came already with SP2 (less desirable, but it's possible to fix if you know someone with SPI).
--- As is known, JVC cams works best and in some cases ONLY with TI (Texas Instrument chip) cards. In my case, I went to Best Buy and got a Belkin.
--- You MUST also have access to the older 2001 or 2002 files related to 1394/Firewire, and in case A) you're already halfway there for they should be in a .cab file (don't sweat this now, you'll capisce eventually).
(I have them and could send them to those who need it, but as far as I know, that's a federal copyright infringement. So going there. Sorry.)
If you're in a situation B), then find those older files on your own if you don't succeed with what will be suggested because:
--- Any files dated 2004 or later may just put you back to where you were with this pretty stupid situation, IMO.
"OK, so what is this 'what' that works?
Forget that the page I'm going to refer you to is is about some Firewire 800 software (I haven't never heard of it either), just follow the instructions. Skip everything until you get down to the heading in orange font titled:
"Back to SPI?"
Then pay attention and try it out. Do it ALL the way through, ladies and gentleman. Otherwise, the next time you boot you'll just be right back where you started (XP auto-replaces some drivers that our "out of date" on every boot if necessary).
It worked for me, may it work for at least one of you fellow JVC-ers. In fact, it's the only reason I registered here at this board (today):
--- I saw so much frustration here by so many when I came looking for answers myself, that I figured, "Hey, if what I found can work for me and my oldie but goodie, well, pass it on."
Last, please, once again: I am not some tech guru and I may not even come back to this thread but once or twice again, so don't rely on me -- use the information given.

Have you ever been able to capture video on your computer? If so, what has changed since then?
Besides asking the obvious questions, like "Is the cable connected and in good shape..." I'm going to assume you have a decent knowledge of computer operation and will know how to remove your firewire card under device manager and let windows re-detect it. If that doesn't work, try changing the DWORD settings from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 and reboot the pc & camcorder everytime you change the value, while looking for your camcorder under "My computer" until it appears.
If none of this works, try connecting your camcorder to another PC and see if that fixes the problem. If connecting it to another pc resolves the issue, let me know. You will probably have to run through my instructions on the other pc unless it is not Service Pack 2.

It is not the camcorder, JVC GR-D870U (tried JVC demos at store), not the cable (tried more than one), not the editing software (tried more than one). Not a bad firewire port (use it with eternal hard drive) at times.
It has to be because I have a JVC camcorder and Windows XP SP2.
I am not able to do the MS fix described regarding editing the registry because I have a laptop with an integrated firewire port. So there is nothing I can change in the PCI folder. I did a search throughout the registry to find a reference to sidspeed so I could edit it, but find no reference to sidpeed anywhere.
I should say that if I do various reboots, camera on/off, in playing video mode, etc. every once in awhile I luck out and can capture. But is a real pain.
Anybody have a solution for a laptop with an integrated firewire port?

Tried to connect it to some other comps and it works but not on all and not on mine.
Got cam from a friend-GR-D270U (works with his comp) and same problem again so it must be the Comp creating the problem.
What should I do???

Instead of hasing gremlins, buy a standalone DVD recorder.
Look around for one with Firewire input.
I myself just bought the Magnavox DVD recorder with 160GB hard drive for $250 including tax. It has a Firewire input.
I also have an older JVC DVD recorder that I bought 5 years ago.
I just transfer the video to a DVD-RW disc. Then I take it over to my PC. It's called a transfer instead of a capture, because the digital data from the camcorder tape is copied over to the DVD-RW one for one. No loss. After you go this route, you will wonder why you didn't do this earlier. My 2 cents.

Networking - Reserved IP Addresses?
IF I have a reserved IP Address on a 10.249.90* subnet for example and I move location or office were the subnet is e.g 10.249.50 or 172.** would it still connect to the assigned IP?
7 Answers
- Anonymous10 months ago
you cant connect if you move because 10.x.x.x is not a public internet address. it is rather an internal address where it is set from the router at the office. If you move, you have to setup the address again according to the router assigned ip address.
Another known internal addresses are 192.168.x.x. It is used for intranet LAN and not Internet.Source(s): I'm an MCSE

It depends on how the network is subnetted. A /8 is in the same broadcast domain because it is 10.?.?.?, but
not a /24 because network 10.249.50.? and 10.249.90.? are in different networks or broadcast domains. You cannot have an ip for the wrong network and expect it to work right. And a /16 WOULD work because both are in 10.249.?.?.
dhcp servers are configured with scopes/ranges and they won't give out an IP that is not on the correct network.

not on a different network. 10.* is a private network that cannot be seen elsewhere.

I suppose it would depend on how their firewalls\DNS\DHCP server(s) are setup, but generally each specific location on their own subnet will require IP's issued on the specific subnet. I would assume that the reserved ip would not be available at locations on a different subnet.

Well if you are thinking to buy an IP address, first of all you need to know it's inner story. It is an unique identity assigned to any machine connected online to setup communication by identification and addressing. Moreover there are certain terms to highlight about Private IP addresses that are reserved to be used privately on a specific network.
