To quote the fictional character Gordon Gekko, "Gripe is good."
"Actually, that's not what Gordon Gekko said, but who cares. This is the Internet. You can make up quotes all you want. If people look it up, they'll just come back to your quote. Then you can re-post on Facebook as a meme and look smart." - Benjamin Franklin, as quoted from his horse while overlooking the Battle of Gettysburg from Little Round Top, in 1869.
But really, griping is good in this Bronze Age of e-books. Readers can go right to the author with glaring errors, formatting issues and the hospital bill for when they fell down that gaping plot hole.
I never take this criticism the wrong way, since it's making the reader a part of the e-book experience. Even better, I can make changes right away and get a new version up in a matter of hours.
Griping doesn't always have to be negatively. It can be backhandedly positive, too.
Here's an exchange on Facebook I had recently with Heath Lowrance, contributor to many anthologies (including Burning Bridges) and the cult noir novel, The Bastard Hand. I'm told the latter is excellent, but I wouldn't know. It's not out on Nook.
See? Gripe is good. Just like that, there's an answer from the publisher and a plan.
The takeaway lesson here is if you have an issue with an e-book, there's never been a better time to get something done about it. Authors offer the ultimate in customer service. After all, they spend months - even years - getting a product out to you. They care about the reading experience. You might put your concerns a bit more gently than I did (I've worked with Heath before, so I know he knows I'm just shittin' him), but there's almost a guarantee something will get done about it.
"Plus, there's nothing makes an author's day like feedback from a reader. Did anyone bring crackers? I heard the cheese here is good." - Amelia Earhart, shortly after landing on the moon, 1959.

We need to licence petroleum spirit to make sure those keeping and dispensing petroleum do so in a safe manner that is unlikely to cause risk to the public or environment. For licensing purposes 'petroleum' is any product of crude petroleum which has a flashpoint below 21 degrees centigrade. It includes petrol, benzene and pentane but does not include white spirit, paraffin, diesel oil or fuel oils.
If you store more than 15 litres of petroleum spirit and you are one of the two categories of work premises below then you need a licence:
The latter includes commercial sites and farms if they have storage tanks for petrol and from which the petrol is dispensed, either mechanically or electrically, into the fuel tank for an internal combustion engine (note that this is a much wider definition than just a motor vehicle).
Please use the links on the right of this page to apply or exchange information.
Alternatively, please use the contact details on the right of this page for all enquiries relating to petroleum spirit.
It is in the public interest that Powys County Council must process your application before it can be granted. If you have not heard from Powys County Council within 14 calendar days of submitting your request., please contact us. You can do this using the contact details to the right of this page.
If you applied through the UK Welcomes service, you can also use this link.
The fee for a petroleum licence depends on the quantity of petroleum spirit stored. Licences are issued for a site/premises and are normally valid for one year; they are transferable, although a fee is payable to transfer a licence.
Please contact Powys County Council in the first instance.
If an application is refused the applicant may appeal to the Secretary of State.
If you as a private individual have a complaint about a business operating under this licence, please contact the trader in the first instance - preferably in the form a letter (with proof of delivery). If that has not worked and you are located in the UK, Consumer Direct will give you advice. From outside the UK contact the UK European Consumer Centre.
There are contact details available in a number of locations for this Service. Please select your nearest town:

Thursday, 07 June 2012 14:28
June 7, 2012 - Onset, a supplier of data loggers, announced the HOBO UX90 Motor On/Off Logger, a matchbox-sized, LCD-display data logger for monitoring run-times of motors, pumps, compressors, and other equipment. The new logger records up to 340,000 equipment on/off cycle changes, and uses graphing and analysis software to convert the recorded data into time- and date-stamped graphs. The logger attaches to motor housings with built-in earth magnets without any wiring, and eliminates the need for equipment lockouts.

MailRetriever for Exchange & Outlook Backup & Recovery
Download Trial
One time license per protected Windows machine |
MailRetriever for Exchange is an affordable and easy-to-use e-mail recovery software package for browsing, recovering, searching, exporting, and analyzing e-mail and mailbox content directly from any unmounted Microsoft Exchange Data Store (EDB). MailRetriever for Exchange can even open and repair corrupted EDB files. With MailRetriever for Exchange, you are never more than just a few clicks away from recovering a message or mailbox. MailRetriever for Exchange eliminates the need for time-consuming full-server and EDB restores for message recovery. Exchange Platforms: Exchange 2010 / Exchange 2007 / Exchange 2003 |
"Exchange downtime and associated recovery time wastes on average hundreds of hours a year in unscheduled downtime and lost productivity."
MailRetriever for Exchange opens and searches any EDB by field and keyword within mailboxes, messages, calendars, tasks, notes and folders. The results can be restored to the original location, a recovery folder or exported to a PST file for portability in just seconds. Browse or search the EDB or a specific mailbox to locate any items (messages, tasks, calendars) and then perform a simple restore. You can perform a partial or full mailbox restore as well with the same ease.
MailRetriever for Exchange opens EDBs plagued with corruption that do not mount on the Exchange server and are therefore traditionally useless. MailRetriever for Exchange branches around the corruption, healing the EDB so that it mounts with zero or minimal data loss, depending on the type of corruption. Additionally, MailRetriever for Exchange automatically rolls the log files associated with the EDB.
MailRetriever for Exchange Product Features
Perform e-discovery & Output to a PST for Case AnalysisMailRetriever for Exchange quickly identifies e-mail for ediscovery. Simply search for messages containing a keyword/phrase/username and MailRetriever for Exchange scans the entire EDB for messages that meet the selected criteria. The results can then be exported to a folder or PST which satisfies the "native file format" requirement for legal and compliance e-discovery.
Eliminate Brick-Level Mailbox BackupsRestore deleted, lost and archived e-mail from any unmounted EDB without the need to perform expensive and time consuming brick-level backups. MailRetriever for Exchange eliminates the need to run EXMERGE or Recovery Storage Groups.
Save Disk Space & ServersMailRetriever for Exchange requires less disk space for message-level recovery and eliminates the need to stand up a separate Exchange server for restoring messages.
Differential RestoresDifferential restores synchronize the unmounted EDB with the online server. Use differentials to synchronize the database after rollbacks, restores from a backup, or to populate an empty database.
View Individual Messages & Outlook ItemsWith MailRetriever for Exchange, you can view a message's contents, including all the message attributes. Additionally, you have full access to calendar items, tasks, notes and more. The main screen for browsing mailboxes, messages and Outlook items in MailRetriever for Exchange.
Perform Data Store Integrity ChecksCheck an EDB for corruption and pinpoint issues before they become more severe. MailRetriever for Exchange performs both physical and logical integrity checks on EDBs.
Mountability TestPerforms an offline ESE mount of the database and rolls all of the logs to ensure that the data store can be mounted.
Physical CheckPerforms a page-by-page validation of the EDB.

Better technology means better data protection
Advantages of AppAssure data protection
What makes Dell AppAssure software stand above legacy backup software and reduced-function virtual machine-only solutions?
- We roll proven image-level backup, replication and recovery technology into a unified solution.
- We protect seamlessly across Windows and Linux OSs and move easily among physical, virtual and cloud environments.
- And, we build in more functionality in every license.
Here's how Dell AppAssure technology delivers better better Windows backup and Linux backup protection:
Highly scaleable, highly efficient backup.AppAssure scales for speed by automatically 'turning on' as many AppAssure core CPUs as are needed to handle workload peaks. It also scales for data capacity with ultra-efficient block-level incremental-forever backups that are data-deduplicated across all the servers on your network. This results in:
- Line-speed user access to applications. Feel free to schedule as many simultaneous backups as you like even during peak work hours because backup jobs never get in the way of full-speed production environments, even if your network runs at 10 gbit/sec.
- More efficient disk storage. Dell AppAssure keeps your storage footprint small whether your storage environment is small or large. And, Exabyte-level scalability easily meets the needs of Big Data environments.
Rapid recovery from nearly any point in time. Achieve near-zero application recovery time objectives (RTO). Choose to recover from any one of up to 288 recovery points a day for Windows to practically eliminate the potential for data loss.
Flexible recovery options from a single backup pass.
Comprehensive data off-siting, fail-over, fail-back. Dell AppAssure builds in WAN-optimized, deduplication-aware replication for off-siting backup data to public or private clouds. Data seeding is available for sites with slow or highly latent links. A virtual standby function creates and maintains an up-to-date virtual standby clone of a production server as of the last snapshot. Fail-Over and Fail-Back allows your secondary site or a managed service provider site to recover instances from replicated machines and immediately commence protection on the failed-over machines, and then fail back when the problem is solved.
Unified user interface. Protect a few or a few thousand machines from any Web browser. AppAssure 5 features a new web-based management console that is compatible with industry-standard browsers on laptops, tablets and notebooks. You can manage your data protection responsibilities and solve problems from any location with an Internet connection.
Why Customers Choose
Dell AppAssure:
"Once we embarked on the virtualization path, our previous backup software was not up to the task. But with Dell AppAssure our data is safe and is continually backed up. We know that if we needed to restore a single file, email, or even a server, we can do it quickly and without any hassle."
Rob MacCara, Systems Administrator
Maritime Paper
"Our IT environment is constantly changing, and only Dell AppAssure has been able to keep up with it. Dell AppAssure's speed and ease of use are great, and the continuous backup makes recovery go really smoothly. We estimate that we can keep three years of continuous backups just due to Dell AppAssure's deduplication and compression technology. That's amazing!"
Dave Buzzell, Chief Information Officer
The Sedona Group
"Dell AppAssure is exceptional. We would not have gotten this level of service with Symantec or anyone else."
Chris Pechtold
Imler's Poultry
"We got Dell AppAssure to perform backups. But with combined replication it has quickly become the key in our disaster recovery plan."
Mike Somers
Brock White
"It used to take me 58 hours or more to do a full backup during the weekend. With Dell AppAssure backup, I don't have to do full backups anymore."
Brian Gibson
Information Management Systems
"Dell AppAssure backup requires a fraction of the care and feeding of other products. If the auditors walked in tomorrow, I am confident that we can immediately demonstrate that we can recover in our mandated time."
Raymond Smith
Southern Bancshare
"Dell AppAssure has awesome deduplication and compression that saves so much room on our backup disk array – 60%-80% increase in free space. It was a huge surprise! We're protecting 12 servers, but only consuming 121 GB of space."

Overstyling can take its toll on hair, which is why some stars have taken to wearing wigs and extensions on the red carpet. Can you tell who here is showing her everyday hair, and whose got some help for the evening? You might be surprised, so take the quiz and see.
Does She or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part VI
Back by popular demand is my sixth quiz about celebrity hair extensions. See if you can tell which of these women is wearing extensions and which ones are currently wearing their hair naturally. I'm so glad you think this guessing game is as much fun as I do. Good luck!
Source, Source, Source, and Source
Take the QuizDoes She Or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part V
Welcome back to my quiz series about celebrity hair extensions. You guys seem to love this topic just as much as I do. Isn't it fun guessing who has naturally fabulous hair and who has a little extra help from the salon? I think when they're applied by a talented professional, extensions can look natural and gorgeous. Take my quiz and guess which of these famous faces is currently extended.
Does She or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part IV
Back by popular demand is my fourth beauty quiz about celebrity hair extensions! Hollywood hairdresser Sheila Stotts had her people tawk to my people (uh, me) about which stars have been coming in and out of her salon lately. Think you can guess who of these lovely ladies is currently wearing hair extensions? Take my quiz to find out.
Does She Or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part III
Ok, seriously — do all celebrities wear hair extensions? I used to believe the answer was no, but thanks to all of the insight from Sheila Stotts, I'm beginning to think otherwise. The gang from Gossip Girl wear them, as do all of the famous faces from part I and part II of my celebrity hair extension quizzes. Even if these people currently aren't extending their hair, they've at least worn them at some point in their career.
Since you can't seem to get enough, here's another quiz to feed your curiosity. Just answer whether you think the celebrity is currently wearing extensions or not.
Does She or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions, Part II
Since my first quiz about celebrity hair extensions was so popular, I thought I'd treat you to this sequel. Take your best guess and try to figure out who does and doesn't wear hair extensions in Hollywood — have fun!
Does She or Doesn't She Wear Hair Extensions?
The other day I told you about professional hair extensions guru Sheila Stotts. She is revered in Hollywood as "the hairdresser's hairdresser," because it is in her chair that the first steps of hair magic begin. Sheila lays the foundation by attaching extensions and providing a preliminary cut and/or color before A-listers pay a visit to their favorite specialists for the finishing touches.
She often works closely with Chris McMillan, Byron Williams, and Frédéric Fekkai. Her clientele is quite impressive — and lucky for us, she's not afraid to dish about their hair. Can you guess which celebrity is currently wearing hair extensions? Take this quiz to find out!

Pastoral associations in Chad |
4 The activities of the Ishtirak project |
Throughout the project's existence PAs asked for assistance in order to improve their own health. The project team was reluctant to start a whole new discipline for which, again, they did not have the expertise. An external consultant was asked to analyse the possibilities for adding a human health aspect to the project. The result of the study was positive and a pilot scheme should start in 1992 under the responsibility of the SECADEV health unit. Again there will be close collaboration with the Ministry of Health.

The menu is extensive but with minimal vegetarian options. But that was no problem. They made vegetarian burritos which were delicious. Portions are huge so we have leftovers today.

Stopped by Lencho's one night for mexican. Family enjoyed chips and salsa, taco's and chimichangas. TV showing college football. All-in-all a relaxing atmosphere. Didn't try seafood here.
Located next to a tire repair garage at mm 47.5, this Mexican restaurant is clean, in good repair and provided very good service and food. The service started with free chips and outstanding Mexican salsa. The chicken salad and daily sandwich special were excellent. This is a good value restaurant for both adults and children.
Good Mexican food at island prices. The salsa was a disappointment this year. A lot like Chili's but more authentic.
Kid killing kid on court tv didnt make for family dinner entertainment. Had to hear about flies eating the teens face, etc... Cuban food was cuban only cuz it was served with black beans. Husband got cuban chicken which was chicken cordon bleu, just ok. Child got beef tacos, they got soggy bit not as bad as other places. I... More
This place is delicious! The tacos are amazing and very authentic! The service was great, extremely friendly and helpful! Wish we had this back home, I would eat it all the time!
Service was quick, food is great, very fresh and tasted good. Nice fresh chips and salsa. I got a combo of taco, tostada and enchilada, soft drink and extra salsa and was out of there for $14 plus tip. Nice!'
Thought we would give it a try. Service was okay, Business was very slow for a sat night. Don't get the cheese! They dont use the typical queso cheese most mexican places do, they use the yellow cheese out of a can like you get on nachos at theaters games etc. But the chimichanga was pretty good, had a good...

As at most Mexican restaurants we were served warm tortilla chips and fresh pics de gallo salsa. These were good but not anything different than most places.

it's really one list. However, I'd like to stop the cold list stealing

sure if we want to stop cold allocations to get hot pages we need two
Yes, it's certainly faster to do that one operation - no dispute from me.
However, the question is whether it's worth trading off against the
cache-warmth of pages ... that's why we wrote it that way originally, to
preserve that.
my argument is very simple. A random content cold page is worthless.
When somebody allocates a free page, it will either:
1) write to it with the cpu to write some useful data into it, so the
page has a value (not the case since it used __GFP_COLD and we assume it
was not using __GFP_COLD by mistake)
2) use DMA to write something useful into the page
Now after 2) unless it's readahead, it will also _read_ or modify the
contents of the page. And writing into a _cold_ page with the cpu, isn't
very different from doing DMA into an hot page. At least this is my
theory, I'm not an hardware designer but there should be some cache
snooping during the invalidates that shouldn't be very different from
the cache recycling. Note that we've no clue if the cache is hot in the
other cpus as well, this is all per-cpu stuff.
Probably the only way to know if retaining the separated hot/cold list
is worthwhile is benchmarking.
I'm pretty sure __GFP_COLD makes huge difference for the freeing of ram,
but I doubt it does for the allocation of ram. Everybody who is
allocating memory is going to write to it and touch it with the cpu
While freed ram may remain cold forever, so to me __GFP_COLD looks more
a freeing-ram allocation.
There's not such thing as allocating ram and never going to touch it
with the CPU anytime soon.
Probably easier to make it a per-arch option to define, but yes, if one
arch works better one way, and others the other, we can make it optional
fairly easily in lots of ways. <insert traditional disagreement with
"new" vs "old" connotations here ...>
yep ;).
Well, remember that the lists only contain a very small amount of memory
relative to the machine size anyway, so I'm not really worried about us
triggering early OOMs or whatever.
I'm a bit worried for the many cpu systems. Since I'm also not limiting
the per-cpu size in function of the total ram of the machine, one could
have a configuration that doesn't even boot if it has too many cpus,
probably thousand of them (I doubt any system like that exists, it's
only a theoretical issue). But the closer you get to the non-booting
system, the more likely allocations will fail with oom due the
especially order > 0 allocations will fail way very soon, but for those
dropping the reservation won't help, so they're an unfixable thing,
that asks to use the per-cpu resources as efficiently as possible.

Tough decisions are ahead for Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano and his coaching staff as the final roster cuts are coming up this week.
"It's never easy. … It's the harsh reality of the [National Football League]," Pagano said Sunday as he reviewed the Colts' 27-6 preseason win over the Cleveland Browns.
"These guys are giving everything they got, and for some of them it's a dream come true to get into an NFL camp and have the opportunity to come and compete and try to make a roster spot. Unfortunately, you've got to make these cuts."
Indianapolis will take a 2-1 preseason record into Thursday night's game at Cincinnati. While the team's starters may see very limited playing time against the Bengals, Colts' backups and rookies are expected to get a final look.
Except for a few starters — such as left offensive tackle Anthony Castanzo and right offensive guard Mike McGlynn, who are injured, and a few veterans — no decision will be made on playing time until Wednesday.
"I think there's some guys that are nicked up that we'll take a look at and make a decision whether we want to play them or not. But whether we decide to play a series or two, those are things that we'll get together and discuss as a staff as we begin preparation for this game," Pagano explained.
"Again, we'll look at our guys and take a look at the guys like [wide receiver] Reggie [Wayne] and [defensive end] Cory [Redding] and [outside linebacker] Robert [Mathis], some of those guys."
Pagano knows what he's got in terms of the older players. It's some of the younger starters and backups that may need more work.
"I know there were some guys last year that had got the time that played a certain amount of reps and didn't really need to play in the preseason at this point," he said. "You might hold back. Again, there's some guys that need some more time out there. We'll talk about it as a staff and then come up with the best plan possible."
Final cuts must be done before 4 p.m. Saturday.
"Because of what we did in free agency and through the draft and the way the roster has changed, we've got competition across the board in a lot of spots. Those spots in particular, it's going to be tough because we're going to have to make some tough decisions, obviously, and we're going to let some good players go," the coach said.
"Again, it is what it is. You have to get to 75 is one thing, but getting to 53 is another. It'll be a challenge and unfortunately there's some guys that have played really good football for us over the past month and there's going to be some good football players that unfortunately, we're going to have to let go. It'll be tough."
• Roster moves — On Sunday, the Colts waived cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Allen Chapman, offensive guard Danous Estenor, defensive tackle Kellen Heard, placekicker/punter Brandon McManus, running back Davin Meggett, linebacker C.O. Prime, center Rick Schmeig and safety Ashante Williams.
Wide receiver Maurice Williams was waived with an injury settlement, and cornerback Teddy Williams (quad) was waived-injured. The team also placed outside linebacker Lawrence Sidbury (shoulder) on injured reserve.
• Castanzo update — Castanzo suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee in the first quarter of the Cleveland game.
His MRI was negative. Castanzo is hopeful of being available for the Colts' regular-season opener against Oakland on Sept. 8.
"[He] got the [magnetic resonance imaging test] and it … pretty much came back as a mild MCL sprain. The MRI was pretty much negative. It wasn't as bad as anybody anticipated, so he's going to be day-to-day. He won't play, obviously, in this next contest but hopefully be ready for the opener," Pagano said.
Joe Reitz is expected to start at left offensive tackle against the Bengals this week. He replaced Castanzo in the Indianapolis lineup.
"I thought Joe played well. We know Joe's an athletic guy, a big guy and got size for that position, obviously. He came in and did a nice job," the Colts coach said.
Wide receiver Nathan Palmer also suffered a sprained MCL against the Browns. He is expected to be sidelined from four to six weeks with the injury.
McGlynn did not start against Cleveland because of a bruised bone in his knee. Jeff Linkenbach got the start but rookie Hugh Thornton saw his first extended playing time. Thornton had been sidelined since the start of training camp with a high ankle sprain.
"I thought he played really well for a guy that hasn't taken any snaps since we finished the rookie minicamp prior to training camp.," Pagano said. "He knocked off a little bit of rust but he looked pretty good in there, both in the run and the pass game. Very pleased with his performance."
McGlynn is expected back for the season opener with the Raiders.
• Caesar rules — Rookie outside linebacker Caesar Rayford has five total sacks so far this preseason and is making a strong push to earn a spot on the Colts' 53-player regular season roster.
"He's produced every week. It's fun to see a guy like Caesar come in from where he came from and do well. And it all goes back … to preparation. I think if you asked every man, particularly on the defensive side of the football and the coaches, the kid's here non-stop and he's constantly asking questions, asking the right questions. He practices his tail off. He not only gets reps on the defense, but when we start doing the look teams in preparation for last week's game and this week's game, he's always out there," Pagano said.
Colts face 'harsh reality' of roster cuts
- Colts
Mathis, Colts hoping to gain defensive momentum against Texans
Outside linebacker Robert Mathis, one of the Indianapolis Colts two most vested veterans, has taken it upon himself to make sure his team is ready for Sunday's AFC South matchup with Houston (1 p.m., CBS Sports).
Mathis and injured wide receiver Reggie Wayne have been with the Colts the longest. They, along with defensive end Cory Redding and safety Antoine Bethea, have become important voices in the Indianapolis locker room. -
Colts not apologizing for way they won division title
Backing into the AFC South title? The Indianapolis Colts are not apologizing to anyone for claiming the franchise's eighth division crown since the start of the 2002 season.
Bungles — including refs' — benefit Bengals
Give the Cincinnati Bengals plenty of credit. In a game that pitted two of the AFC's better teams and two of the National Football League's best young quarterbacks, the home-standing Bengals took care of business.
Many doubt Cincy runner scored on goal-line play
Did he make it or didn't he?
Was Cincinnati Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis stopped on fourth down short of the end zone or did he make to the end zone without being touched? -
Heavy snow appears in forecast for Colts
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Andrew Luck doesn't have a history of playing a lot of football in the snow or in snowy conditions. But if weather forecasts for this weekend remain on track, Sunday's AFC battle between the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals may be severely tested by the weather.
Seizing the moment: Colts' running back Brown comes through at end in first start of season
Donald Brown has bided his time this season as the Indianapolis Colts elevated Vick Ballard, Ahmad Bradshaw and Trent Richardson to the team's No. 1 running back position.

Yes, it was an ugly game to watch.
Luck's analysis: 'Great job' by defense and Vinatieri; 'terrible job' by offense and 'by me' — but he'll take a win
Nobody had to tell the Indianapolis Colts that Sunday's performance against the Tennessee Titans was far from perfect.
Colts looking for execution to climb out of funk
While the Indianapolis Colts are in a bit of a funk right now, losing two of their last four games by a combined score of 78-9 (38-8 to St. Louis, 40-11 last week at Arizona), don't expect the team's offensive and defensive coaching staffs to make changes, whether it's scheme or personnel.
Colts seek to right ship against Titans
Another home game, another meeting with the Tennessee Titans. The Indianapolis Colts, fresh off last week's 40-11 road loss to Arizona, know what's at stake against the Titans on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Colts ready to go back to work
If anybody expected Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano to start spewing fire to his players in the wake of Sunday's 40-11 National Football League loss at Arizona, they would be largely disappointed.
For second straight game, Colts fail early and often in big loss
The Indianapolis Colts had 10 days off before facing the Arizona Cardinals.
It didn't seem to do much good.
Struggling on both sides of the ball, the Colts put together a lackluster effort in the desert, leading to a 40-11 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. -
Arians faces his old team
The early pregame warmups that NFL teams go through are usually pretty routine.
Players and coaches usually spent the time loosening up, touching base with old friends who are with the other team. A few minutes chatting up an old buddy or college teammate and then its back to the matter of hand. -
Arians latest to join Colts' reunion tour
The 2013 NFL season has turned into a reunion tour, of sorts, for the Indianapolis Colts.
Colts' Walden to appeal one-game suspension
Indianapolis Colts outside linebacker Erik Walden will be suspended for Sunday's National Football League road game at Arizona, the NFL announced Monday.

5 things to know as Colts rally, beat Titans
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts know they have to stop falling behind early. It's just a hard habit to break when they keep rallying for victories.
Colts looking for big-play receiver
When the Indianapolis Colts signed rookie wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers to the active roster Monday after a stint on the practice squad, it was just another indication that team officials aren't completely happy with the way the Colts' receiving corps has played over the last two weeks.
Colts looking to shift running game out of neutral
After getting off to a pretty good start running the football this season, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves stuck in neutral.
Indianapolis has had difficulty coming up with a consistent running attack over its last two games. That fact was never more in evidence that in last Sunday's 38-8 National Football League loss to the St. Louis Rams. -
Colts need to forget embarrassing loss, prepare for next game
Former Indiana State men's basketball coach Tates Locke had a slogan that he liked to use when it came to putting bad games or bad performances on the back burner.
It's safe to say that the Indianapolis Colts have been living on the National Football League edge for most of the past two years.
'Can't keep digging ourselves a hole' — Pagano
Chuck Pagano Is usually a pretty even-tempered guy.
Colts back home, hoping to keep momentum going
The goal for the Indianapolis Colts in Sunday's NFL home game with the St. Louis Rams is relatively simple. Just keep getting better.
Colts work magic again, find way to win
Good teams find a way to win. Bad or struggling teams usually find a way to lose. That's as much of a reason — along with the play of quarterback Andrew Luck — as how the Indianapolis Colts staged their 10th fourth-quarter come-from-behind win over the past two seasons Sunday night in Houston.
Colts dodge Texans' bullets
The Indianapolis Colts rallied for a 27-24 victory over the Texans on Sunday night after Houston coach Gary Kubiak collapsed leaving the field at halftime and was taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Colts: Road to division title leads through Houston
Never mind that the Houston Texans will come into Sunday night's nationally televised game with the Indianapolis Colts with a 2-5 record. For Colts coach Chuck Pagano and his players, the Texans are the defending AFC South champions. In fact, Houston has won the division title the last two seasons. Enough said.
Back in stride: After bye week, Luck says Colts must overlook Texans' 2-5 record
Vacation, in terms of a one-week bye, is now over. It's back to work for the Indianapolis Colts, who will go into Sunday night's nationally televised National Football League game (NBC, 8:30 p.m. kickoff) against defending AFC South champion Houston with a 5-2 record and a two-game lead in the division.
After big win over Broncos, Colts learn that standout receiver Wayne is out for season with knee injury
Chuck Pagano, like most head coaches in the National Football League, has become more or less accustomed to players getting hurt and having to miss significant time during a season. Unfortunately, that's just part of the game. But the news Monday that wide receiver Reggie Wayne has been lost to a season-ending knee injury hit a little closer to home for Pagano for purely personal reasons.
Colts vs. Manning: Competing allegiances
Blue or Orange?
That was the question many fans grappled with as former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning returned to Lucas Oil Stadium — "the house that he built" — Sunday night for the Colts-Broncos football game. -
Colts knock Broncos from unbeaten perch
Everybody expected a barnburner when the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos hooked up in National Football League play on national television Sunday night.
