'Critter' weighs in on area's all-time best football players
The following is another "Have Fun or Get Out of the Way" column by award-winning Don Leighton and Mike Granlund and their alter egos, Lance Boyle and Billy Pirkola, which runs occasionally in The Superior Telegram.
Now that Superior and Northwestern High Schools have completed its football seasons, we need to continue our listing of some of the all-time great football players from our area.
Our all-time list will be published in the very near future. More nominees have been sent and require the attention of the Lance and Billy Literary Society: Polling Division. Our great readers have done an incredible job giving their choices.
The only regret we have is there have been very few who played in the "old days."
There has to be someone from the 1952 undefeated Cathedral team that allowed no points, doesn't there?
Jeff "Critter" Crisp, a 1966 graduate of Superior Senior High School, has submitted a list from the Superior Central High School classes of 1963, 64 and 65. He also has given us a list from the first season of SSHS, now Superior High School. His contributions are impressive and are a must inclusion within our list.
Before his list, a few words on what I remember about Crisp. He is one of the most outstanding three-sport athletes in the history of SSHS, from any era. He was a great football player and outstanding guard on some great basketball teams. However, his best sport was baseball. It has been rumored that from Little League through high school and Legion ball he won 54 games in a row.
I never faced him but saw him pitch often. He could throw the ball hard, had great control and possessed a major league curve. He was dominant.
Back to football. From the Central class of 1962, a team that was 6-1-1 with three shutouts, there were many greats, including: Ross Amundson, QB; Tim Crowley, HB; Bob Buchanan, T; Tony Cox, E; Morley Smith, E; Eddie Paquette, HB; Bobby Olson, DT; Chuck Steen (pound for pound was the hardest hitter he ever saw), HB; Jerry Engelking, G; Jim Jensen, FB; Dave Olson, G; and Bill Pence, T.
The 1963 Vikings were 6-2 with two shutouts. Don Hartlund was at quarterback along with Ed Paquette, HB; Bob Whitney, HB; Hank Greenberg, QB; Sheldon Goldberg, G; Jim Wester, G; Doug Sutherland, G; Frank Cirilli, C; Bob Olson, FB-DT; Pat Walsh, E; Chuck Mahaffey, E; Tom Buchanan, T; Pence, T.
Central's last season, 1964-65, may have fielded the greatest Viking team of all-time.
With a record of 9-0, two shutouts and outscoring their opponents 350-53, the names on this team should bring back a lot of memories: Hartlund; Eddie and Packy Paquette, HB's; Bob Olson, FB; HB Bill (Hank) Greenberg; linemen Pence, Paul Freer, Jim Wester, Sheldon Goldberg, Frank Howenstine and Buchanan; kicker Sutherland; and ends Pat Walsh and Chuck Mahaffey were all outstanding athletes.
Had SSHS opened a year earlier, can you imagine the great team they could have had as Central and East combined? Perhaps a "what could have been" article is necessary. What a team that would have been.
The 1965-66 Spartans fielded an awesome football team. I can only imagine the excitement and size of the crowds at Memorial Stadium as the new Spartans took the field.
They finished 5-2, ranked No. 2 in the state at season's end and in their five wins, outscored their opponents 178-0.
Their two losses came at the hands of Minnesota teams ranked No. 1 when Superior was its opponent. The Spartans lost to Robbinsdale 41-19 at home and lost at Edina 6-0 in their last game.
Listen to this group of players: FB Bob Olson (high school all-American and Notre Dame captain/all-American); HB/SE/QB Mike Regenfuss (starred in basketball at Minnesota); G Sutherland (13 year NFL career and one of top 50 Minnesota Vikings of all-time); G Dave Byrka; HB Packy Paquette; tackles Buchanan and Todd Larson; TE George Koskovich; SE Nick Kreel; HB/LB Paul Walsh; center Perry Benson, and DE Harry Madsen.
What names, what memories are conjured up with memorable nights spent at the stadium.
The players who played for Central, East, Superior Senior High School, Cathedral and UWS should have a book written about their exploits.
That hallowed turf has seen a lot of greatness.
A few pieces of housekeeping are in order. Ole Haugsrud belongs in the football hall of fame. That's a no-brainer. If I, Lance Boyle, ever win the lottery, I will do two things. I will contribute enough money to build a world-class retractable roof football stadium and complex in Superior with all the amenities for youth through college football.
You heard me correctly.
I will also give UWS whatever it takes to start up the football program again. College football adds so much to campus life, serves to increase the enrollment with players and new students, would galvanize the community and contribute mightily to the economy.
Most importantly, I would require that ball park hamburgers and bratwurst from Superior Meats be barbecued. The food would be free to attract more fans.
If I win the lottery, I should have enough money to accomplish these things. I better start buying some tickets.
Wish me well.
So long, for now.

In winter this is a serious alpine undertaking which will take you two days,(overnight stay in the new bivyhut) very special but make sure you are well prepared because routefinding will be difficult in the snow.

Baby Naming Strategy
I'm curious...
Do most people have a single name picked out and ready for their newborn? Or do most people choose their top two or three and wait to meet their new little one?
I'm due in August and have only one name that DH and I agree on for a boy, if she is a girl, we have 2 or 3 to choose from. I can see the pros and cons of both strategies. I'm starting to have "cold feet" about all the names, I think because we are getting so close!
Anyone else start to doubt their name choices near the end?
I would love to hear people's experiences! And my friends and family think I'm crazy for thinking about names so much, so I would love to hear from people who are interested/fascinated by names too! Thanks allNot a name nerd, just obsessively looking for a baby name

Good question.
It's funny that as soon as I'm pregnant most names sound weird to me and I find it hard to choose. However, I have done it both ways; I've had a name all ready and I've had a list. I do prefer having a name all ready as with a list I start to second guess whether we've picked the right one! Hubby and I tend to create a list of names we like then we veto until we get to one we both like. With DD2 we were left with 3 and hubby let me choose. I spent a week wondering if I chose the right one...but 18 months on, I know I did
Good Luck
July 28th, 2013 10:23 PM #5
Basically...hubby and I are lucky to come up with ONE name we can agree on, haha! Then at then end WHEN I get cold feet, I sort of panic because I know there's literally nothing else out there.
I'm one of these people who feels the need to consider EVERY possible option; but hubby generally doesn't contribute ideas, he just nukes my lists down to that one name we can both live with. At some point in the middle of the pregnancy, sometimes I even toss my entire list and go back and reconsider names that didn't make early cuts. By the end I'm pretty certain that we really are down to THE name, and every time I still get cold feet. The reality of the baby starts to set in...early in the pregnancy it's more of an idea, you know?
I really love names; learning about their etymology; different naming customs; discovering a new variation I haven't heard before, the whole deal. It's fun to help other parents think of ideas and make first/middle combinations, and I think I'm fairly good at it (because a couple of "nerds" around here have added combos I made for them to their favorites lists), but then when it's time to name my own child it's like I freeze. It's totally frustrating. Also, I'm pretty sure my entire family thinks I'm insane, except for my writer sister, who recognizes that collecting and dissecting names is my odd little version of word-nerdery, which we inherited from our grandfather who was an English professor.

With both of our children there was one name for a boy and one for a girl that we had picked up since we started getting serious. Well honestly I had the girl name picked out from the time I was little and my husband agreed to it only if he was able to use his favorite choice for a boy's name. We have one of each so it was easy walking in with one name. I'm not sure what will happen if we have a third. I kind of like the idea of meeting the baby and seeing what fits but I also like to plan in advance. I'm not pregnant or even TTC yet I already am thinking about what to name a third.

We have done it two very different ways. With our eldest we didn't even consider any other name seriously and with our second we didn't even have a name list to take to the hospital just a bunch of names I liked and my husband hated. The first was so so so much easier! I'm 22 weeks and we find out tomorrow if we are having another girl or our first boy. If it's a boy the name has already been chosen but if it's a girl we don't have a single name on our list which is stressing me out!

The Aurora Research Institute operates out of three research centres to provide a number of services to support research in the NWT. Our headquarters and main facility are located in Inuvik, at the Western Arctic Research Centre, a state of the art facility offering a base to research teams from across Canada and around the world. We also operate the South Slave Research Centre and GIS Services in Fort Smith, and the North Slave Research Centre out of Yellowknife. The fee structure for Aurora Research Institute support services is common across all facilities.
Research and monitoring support from both Inuvik and Fort Smith can also be provided on a contractual basis as well as the facilitation of hiring local research assistants, wildlife monitors and/or technician assistance. To a certain extent, ARI staff members' local knowledge may prove valuable for research/monitoring location recommendations, journey management and wildlife insight.
We also operate a Research Library in Inuvik, with over 21,000 catalogued items in the collection. The collection is searchable on-line through the NWT Library Network and many items are available across Canada through inter-library loans.

December 13, 2013
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - After a nearly year-long review, Kentucky's Commission on Tax Reform has approved recommendations that could generate nearly $700 million a year.
Some $500 million of that would come from individual income taxes. Another $200 million would be generated by expanding the state's sales tax to household utilities and several services that have traditionally been exempt.
Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson, who chaired the Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform, said the recommendations will be presented to Gov. Steve Beshear on Dec. 17. The goal is to draft legislation for lawmakers to consider when they convene next month.
Beshear has said he's not sure lawmakers will have time to pass tax reforms in the session that ends in mid-March. He said he's prepared to call a special session next year if necessary.

Can you believe -- Christmas a week from today.
But you know what is two weeks of today the new year that clip which by the way I think we're gonna voice.
But I just don't like the way you're avoiding.
With a promise of a resolution really sort of like one of my new year diet resolutions about to cut back cut spending in the new year but this is on doing it.
This doesn't instill but it doesn't.
To suddenly promising to cut back -- eating and working out more in the new year not I'd made a lot of these resolutions.
And look at it.
Okay at least the upper -- you could see it.
You see much progress on that resolution front I could save -- the trouble.
Now that's a thing about resolutions they always sound good tomorrow that operate and -- work out.
Maybe because it's a bike are gonna be a gluttony for snacks.
It's in Washington's character to be -- -- -- for spending.
That's what worries me about deals builds on goals the goals never get builds.
They never get realised and the stuff you promise to those goals -- -- get done which is why they're never realized.
Food supply because there is only one thing worse than me making a resolution.
Making a resolution after all eyes grew up what's the worst -- -- gonna happen I don't lose anyway.

With the workfare scheme still forcing thousands into unpaid work placements, REVOLUTION joined up with others to organise two walks of shame to target business exploiting young unemployed.
With around 8 people on the first day, this number rose to 14 on the second. The atmosphere was lively, out of the people there; there were members from the SWP, Leeds Unemployment Action Group and members of trade union Unite. Around half of the people hadn't been involved in action before and had got involved through receiving a leaflet the previous day.
The tour began at Asda where the staff seemed to be pro-workfare and quite happy to let their managers profit at the expense the unemployed. At the Hilton we handed workfare leaflets to the staff manager who denied the Hilton had any participation in Workfare. At the point someone got their phone out to show the manager the Hilton's quote on the workfare website. He walked away threatening to call the police if we didn't get off 'his property' – another boss who knows the police can always be called on to defend the privelege of the bosses' private property.
Finally we went to Greggs where we handed out leaflets and collected signatures from customers.
Overall we got a good response from people and they were interested to hear about workfare and what it was doing.
We must continue this fightback and force more companies to back out of the scheme as Hollandand Barrett and Pizza Hut have recently done.
This Sunday in Leeds we are having a demonstration outside Argos on the Headrow. Spread the word and see you there!
No wages – outrageous!

After showing off the PCB of the new design GTX560Ti days before, Colorful today releases this new graphics card and named iGame GTX560Ti Kudan. iGame GTX560Ti Kudan requires three slots and assembles three fans, one is 80mm, and the other two are 70mm which with "Shark Bionic" design in order to reduce the noise. Users need to remove the cooler to install the expansion card on the obverse side near the rear plate. Both WHDI card and Television Card are available to be installed independently to satisfy users' requirement. There are two BIOS onboard and each of them stores a clock, and the different clocks are controlled by the button on the rear plate. When users press the button, the clock will be overclocked to 900MHz/4200MHz from default clock (820MHz/4000MHz). However, when you install the extra Power-Kit into the slot on the back of the PCB, the clock will change to the amazing 1010MHz/4500MHz. The iGame GTX560Ti Kudan has the unprecedented in dimensions of the packaging, which is up to 820mm (H) X165mm (L) X140mm (W), and with Chinese characters on it. With the huge packaging, there are three sets of accessories provided, and the quantity of the items is more than 20. The first set is called Air-Kit, which is assembled by five detachable heat pipes that draw heat from the main heatsink. The Air-Kit can be installed to the corresponding position that previously prepared on the graphics card, and can efficiently reduce the heat of the graphics card. The second set is called Power-Kit, which is introduced in the previous paragraph. The Power-Kit provides extra six phases of VRM, and have a "Monster BIOS" equipped. It is the first choice when users overclock this card after installing the Power-Kit. The third set is called Color-Kit, which is made up by acrylic paints and brushes. It is provided for those users who have interest of painting on the shell of the cooler. The expansion WHDI card and Television card for the front PCB slot is not provided in the accessories, Colorful may sell them separately latter. The retail price of iGame GTX560Ti Kudan is not mentioned at present.
No comment. seriously. i guess its good for moders. have to give credit for 1010Mhz core though... BTW is it just me or the iProduct thing that apple invented really gets over-used?
Unless it's guaranteed to hit 1200MHz core on the stock heatsink, that's quite a waste for a 560Ti. I still want one though.
There might not be such a thing as overkill when it comes to PC hardware, but if there was, this would be it.
wow- that looks cool, and it should be - with cooler solution like that even GTX 480 should get a cold bug
Colorful seams to be trying to produce the most over the top cards possible but i like it. I wish they were doing things like this with 580's, would be nice if they moved in to AMD cards as well.
This is like buying a Ford Fiesta with gold alloys and a 2.4 litre engine with 2 extra doors and a sail on top. I mean come on, wtf? It's like colorful employ a mentalist to come up with ideas and they just say yeah, that'll be different. "Yeah, a three slot cooler with an extra cooling kit so nothing else can fit in your expansion slots, great idea". "Yeah, an extra card you can plug in to make it go over 1GHz but you have to disassemble it first, great idea". "Paints, a painting kit? Yeah, that's great - let's put some paints in with it too." "Include a spoon and some tin foil and they can smoke crack from it's obverse side, great idea".* I may be harsh but why pimp out a 560 to such incontestably ludicrous amounts? *I'm not sure how you smoke crack. Thankfully.
A painting kit,=really? ugh, thats just too funny, i could see someone without a steady hand, making a right mess!!~ wahahahaa, switching it on in the case and watching wet paint fly all over the place. This has to be a joke, i dont believe it, air kit? what ~ did you look at the photo? air kit. naaah, its not real. april fools or something.
And I have to ask: Why? Seriously, the 560 is not even a high end card, who would pay a premium for it? mind you it's not even the 448 core version....
WHAT? At current exchange rates that would make this card ~ £340 or roughly about the same price as a GTX580 and over twice that of a GTX560TI...... I say again; WHAT?
Does anyone notice the size of the box compared to the card inside it? It must be at least a meter long!
Why are all these overpriced cards surfacing all of a sudden...first Powercolor's Devil and now this. I don't really see the point in this. If I wanted to paint a card, I'd just buy paint?
Wonderful grammar. You'd think they'd make the effort to get that right on a press release, wouldn't you? The writer's first language at Colorful obviously isn't English and hasn't learned it properly.

"IBM PureSystems gives us freedom to grow, increases our availability, allows the creation of a hot environment for disaster recovery and puts the company in the right direction by using new technologies such as cloud computing." - Jose Geraldo Ortigosa, operations manager, VALECARD
Financial Markets
Deployment country:
Flex System Manager, Flex System x240, PureFlex Enterprise, PureSystems, Business Continuity, Business Resiliency, Cloud Computing, High Availability
VALECARD is a credit card, fleet, data services and consulting company that offers services for a wide range of industries, including finance, agriculture, real estate and healthcare. VALECARD partners with customers to find new solutions to minimize costs, automate processes and provide a better quality of life for consumers. Based in Uberlandia, Brazil, the company employs more than 400 people.
Business need:
VALECARD holds a tremendous responsibility to ensure consumers' financial card balances are updated and accurate at all times; therefore, the company initially sought a disaster recovery solution.
The company implemented a solution that included IBM® PureFlex™ System Enterprise technology and an IBM Flex System™ x240 compute node from the IBM PureSystems™ family.
In addition to disaster recovery, the PureFlex System solution provides seamless scalability, always-on availability and an up to 30 percent reduction in operational costs.
Case Study
VALECARD is a credit card, fleet, data services and consulting company that offers services for a wide range of industries, including finance, agriculture, real estate and healthcare. VALECARD partners with customers to find new solutions to minimize costs, automate processes and provide a better quality of life for consumers. Based in Uberlandia, Brazil, the company employs more than 400 people.
Initially seeking disaster recovery solution for security and availability
For its primary business, VALECARD provides corporate customers with a prepaid financial card that employers use to offer benefits to employees. Throughout Brazil, VALECARD has distributed three million financial cards, and 60,000 merchants accept these cards. Consumers prefer this trend toward "digital cash" and the replacement of physical money because financial cards are easier to control. VALECARD administers all aspects of the card for its corporate customers and its nationwide consumers.
VALECARD sees its business based on three pillars: the financial capacity to support operations, an extensive network of card acceptance and a robust and flexible IT infrastructure. Each year since 2009, VALECARD has increased revenue by 40 percent, and the organization wanted to maintain this momentum by implementing high-performing technology that would differentiate it from competitors.
The company's systems must execute speedy payment authorization. When customers use their financial cards, they wait at the supermarket or at a shop for VALECARD to authorize their transaction. With 200,000 transactions per day, VALECARD needs to be readily available and able to quickly authorize payments and record transactions internally.
Because financial cards are essentially cash and are so prevalent throughout Brazil, security and availability are most critical. VALECARD holds a tremendous responsibility to ensure consumers' balances are updated and accurate at all times. Therefore, the company initially sought a solution focused on disaster recovery.
Project scope expands when client sees IBM PureSystems family capabilities
VALECARD initiated a study to find the best disaster recovery solution that would also provide outstanding performance. IBM presented a solution that included IBM PureFlex System Enterprise technology and an IBM Flex System x240 compute node from the IBM PureSystems family, in addition to an IBM Storwize® V7000 disk system and IBM System Storage® TS3200 Tape Library. The company was able to fully integrate the solution with its historical data.
When VALECARD saw that PureFlex System technology could not only provide a solution for disaster recovery but also much more, it began expanding its project scope. The organization was interested in incorporating PureFlex System technology into its infrastructure so it could install a disaster recovery system, cloud computing technology and high-availability infrastructure.
With these additional solution capabilities, VALECARD wants to make its processes more agile and bring more automation to its customers. In fact, the business realizes that PureFlex System technology has so much processing power that it may eventually assume the company's main operation.
Cloud-based solution cuts operational costs by up to 30 percent
As well as finding a disaster recovery solution, VALECARD is experiencing numerous additional benefits since implementing PureFlex System technology.
The PureFlex System solution provides seamless scalability, always-on availability and an up to 30 percent reduction in operational costs. Jose Geraldo Ortigosa, operations manager for VALECARD says: "IBM PureSystems gives us freedom to grow, increases our availability, allows the creation of a hot environment for disaster recovery and puts the company in the right direction by using new technologies such as cloud computing."
With a cloud-based solution, the company no longer needs to travel to the customer's location to configure technology; the customer can simply download the product from the cloud and easily and securely install it. VALECARD can deliver its product faster, with less effort and for less cost.
Because PureFlex System technology is scalable, VALECARD now has a well-defined technology growth strategy, something that it lacked previously. The PureSystems family solution provides the capacity to support the organization's 30 percent to 40 percent annual growth rate while providing faster time to market for customers and enhanced reliability and speed for consumers.
Because VALECARD has a comprehensive solution and overall stronger systems, the company also gains a competitive edge. Luiz Abreu, director at VALECARD, explains: "Working with IBM and PureFlex System, we expect to make our processes more agile, bringing more automation for our customers and for our employees who perform tasks in the field. This will improve our performance and market integration."

Mr. Neal -I was against 4 to fix because I don't believe that the County should levy a sales tax. However, even if I felt that a county sales tax was appropriate, I would have still voted against 4 to Fix because of the bridge. For the record, here are the reasons that STCC opposed 4 to Fix:* The County government should be able to perform its governmental functions by relying solely on its legitimate property tax revenue;
Thank you for your email. With regard to STCC's influence, STCC is very proud of what it was able to accomplish with only $2,000 and a handful of volunteers. With regard to STCC's motives for opposing 4-to-Fix, STCC is not aware of any official statement by STCC claiming that "if you don't do what we want in our neighborhood, then we are against everything in the county." Please visit www.thestcc.com for the reasons STCC opposed 4-to-Fix.
Mr. Neal, STCC believes that both STCC and you bestow great citizenship on the city, county and state. Both of us like to express our opinions on a wide range of topics and issues. While we may not agree all of the time or even most of the time, STCC believes that debate is good and that educated people can have differing opinions. Thanks again for your email.

Subject: Re: STCC Declares Victory
Let's see now: After months of rhetoric and barrels of ink and who knows how much arm-twisting, you convinced 58 per cent to vote against. Even if you weren't there, the vote would have probably been about 50-50. So much for your influence.And let's don't forget: the motive for opposition to 4 to Fix was "if you don't do what we want in our neighborhood, then we are against everything in the county." Great citizenship, don't you think?
* Sales taxes are the lifeblood of every municipality and these municipalities, especially the City of Tulsa, cannot afford to keep giving this potential source of revenue away to the County;Only one of those reasons had to do with a failure to listen to the concerns of the citizens of South Tulsa. Politicians care about two things: re-election, and money. I do not see anything wrong with sending our elected representatives, the following message, "If you don't listen to us, then we won't give you any more money!"
* The County's broken process of ignoring citizens' concerns and making bad financial decisions will not be fixed by giving the County more money in sales tax; and
* The County gave away over half a billion dollars in toll revenues to private investors to build a bridge, yet now the County wants to raise everyone's taxes for only $62 million.
Ken, opposition in this from is indeed great citizenship.

PHOENICIA, N.Y. -- The president and chief executive officer of the Olympic Regional Development Authority -- known locally as the guy who now runs Belleayre Mountain Ski Center -- will make his first public appearance in the region on Thursday, when he comes to Phoenicia for the opening ceremony at the annual Phoenicia Festival of the Voice.
Ted Blazer is to speak at 7:30 p.m. on the main stage at Phoenicia's Parish Field, where the festival begins its annual four-day run with the operatic spoof "The Benefit."
Many in the region are curious about what changes, if any, will take place at Belleayre now that the Olympic Regional Development Authority, or ORDA, is in control.
Since the 1940s, when Belleayre opened in the Shandaken hamlet of Highmount, it has been run by the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The facility has had its ups and downs over the decades, and most recently, the department's operation of the ski center was blamed for much of the trouble, with critics saying it mismanaged the site and was incapable of running a ski center because it was too busy with other responsibilities.
In early 2010, there was a public outcry for new management after the department laid off dozens of full-time Belleayre employees and replaced them with part-timers.
When Andrew Cuomo became governor a year later, he set up a group called the SAGE Commission to "modernize and rightsize state government, improve performance, increase accountability and save taxpayers' money." The commission suggested having the ORDA -- which operates the Whiteface and Gore Mountain ski centers in the Adirondacks -- take over Belleayre.
The commission said Belleayre has lost money for the five consecutive years, requiring extra cash from state coffers to cover those losses and make capital improvements. It also stated that while run by the Department of Environmental Conservation, Belleayre was subject to restrictions under which it could not respond to market conditions.
"ORDA has the expertise to manage ski centers for the state with the expectation that Belleayre could become self-sustaining over time," the commission stated.
At the annual meeting of the ORDA Board of Directors on June 19, Blazer announced the authority's staff had been visiting Belleayre to go over the facilities and discuss marketing plans for the upcoming ski season.
But Blazer also said the authority is not in a rush to make changes.
"We plan to take a good amount of time to see how Belleayre operates," he said. "We're going to work with the staff and the community to move the facility forward. We will be surveying visitors and others to see what is good and bad, what works and what doesn't work, what they like and what they don't like before major marketing and facility infrastructure decisions are made. ... (We will) take a close, hard look at how that facility operates through the summer and into the winter before we just jerk our knee."
Blazer said the state has given the ORDA $1 million for capital projects at Belleayre along with $4 million for capital projects at Whiteface and Gore.

If the thought of Christmas shopping and battling crowds or finding your way around a congested mall or store are more than you can handle, I have great news. Just in time to maybe prevent some major anxiety attacks, Google Maps announces a way to keep you "one step ahead of the crowd."
From Black Friday through the holiday season, Google Maps will help you devise your holiday shopping game plan. While visiting some of your favorite popular retail locations including Best Buy, Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Harrods, and more, you will be able to figure the fastest and best way to get around by utilizing the store layout feature. This feature is also available for many malls and even airports. The maps are accurate and easy to use.
Using Google Maps simply zoom in to a participating store. The familiar blue dot icon will help you figure out where the departments are, the food court, the restroom and so forth. You will even be able to find the ATM. For many locations, you can even get indoor walking directions to find the best route from one store to the next.
To access these maps, you will first need to update your Google Maps program on your Android device. Visit Google Play on your phone or desktop and select "update." This just takes a few minutes. You will immediately notice the dimensional buildings and the different look.
I tried this feature out for our local area. Sure enough, all the Best Buy departments are labeled. Unfortunately, the Macy's departments were not. But the Macy's in New York City had the department layouts for all levels.
In our local area, several stores are now included in Google Maps including Game Stop, Victoria Secrets and more.
This new maps app is a must have!

http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2013/09/lsu_passing_offense_give_tiger.html Mills is our best corner, but White or R.Robinson need to start over Collins, Martin has never impressed me, but that should be Jeffersons job. I dont trust Eugene at safety. Thompson or Jefferson. R. Robinson, could be better than PP7. Yea I said it. Regarding Mills, he just let up and it showed Saturday.
Wow! I knew the clock was ticking on Collins. He just doesn't cut it. Mills had a rough game against UAB but was lights out against TCU. BUT, if Robinson is that good, he should be on the field. I think the biggest problem for Mills ad Collins is that both White and Robinson are faster than they are so they both have the makeup speed to prevent those big plays. Mills should be given a little more lee-way though...unless Robinson is just that damn good. When Mills got burnt on the TD it was partly his fault for missing on his jam but Martin should have been in position to make play. That's what Mills was upset about. Martin's position should be up for grabs to if he's underperforming. And he is. Wow...just wow!
Martin has been a liability and Loston hasnt played to his potential. Its time for a change. Jefferson and Thompson.
Yea, Loston takes bad angles and goes for decapitation.. I like the dude, but god damn.. It is frustrating.
I agree. I mean if you're going to jam, you can't miss, but at the same time if the corner(s) are jamming then safeties have to be prepared to help over the top. Safeties learn that at the same time corners learn proper jamming technique.
Very true. We took so many friggin bad angles but make no mistake, White got juked out of his shoes and the RB got to the outside. If we're going to do something, now is the time but don't think they're gonna step up and be lights out.

Seriously, for months on end we have been having to put up with the horrible server lag and nothing seems to being done about it.
It's just been getting worse and worse lately.
We can't even open our chests half the time and when we do open them and take items out... a minute or so later we find out that the server is so laggy that the server failed to recognize we have taken our items and they jump back into the chests.
Or we'll be mining and constantly be rubber-banded back with all the blocks we thought we mined replaced. Yesterday, after I realized this was happening AGAIN I counted "80 BLOCKS" I have mined that the server failed to recognize and it took me 4 minutes to get rubber banded back.
Just now as I type this we have all been thrown off the server... and we could tell a few minutes before something was going to go wrong, as we couldn't do anything in game except type.
What's worse is that the admins are BLAMING THE PLAYERS for the lag saying that going AFK or allowing mobs to spawn or walking too far from spawn or even claiming area's that aren't really small is what's causing the lag.
What an insult.... EXCUSE US for 'trying' to play the game... I thought maybe the GON players mattered.... probably not.
I'm sure if GON cared about their players it wouldn't take much to put the game on some half decent hardware.

Nosler® Partition® Bullets
Delivering consistent and reliable performance for more than 61 years, the Partition line of bullets from Nosler® yields controlled expansion and penetration with extreme accuracy, shot after shot. This versatile design comes in calibers as small as .224 all the way up to .458, allowing you to shoot the same bullet with all your guns. Nosler's special lead alloy, dual core provides superior mushrooming performance at virtually all impact velocities. The Partition's fully tapered copper jacket gradually thickens along the bullet's axis, controlling the core's mushroom for controlled, uniform expansion. An integral partition separates the bullet's two cores, holding two-thirds of the bullet's original weight in the rear core to fuel a deep penetration every time. Special crimp locks help the bullet resist deformation, even with the heaviest of magnum loads. Each Partition bullet is designed by Nosler engineers to give you the optimum length, weight, and ogive design for each caliber to give you maximum flight and terminal performance. Minimum impact velocity: 1800 fps.
SPT = Spitzer Tip
RN = Round Nose
PPT = Power Point Tip
SSP = Semi-Spitzer Tip

I have used Partition for many years. It has never failed to do the job. I have a 6.5x55 Swedish Carbine with a 17 inch barrel. My load supposedly produces 2600 FPS. After deducting 50 FPS per inch of barrel the guesstimate is around 2200 FPS. This past season I had a nice buck standing about 60 yards in front of me facing dead away with his tail up. I aimed for the "bullseye" and it dropped like it was hit by lightning. I hit right where I was aiming and the Partition exited the front of his neck.

This Nosler 120 grain partition bullet at near max loads of IMR 4350 with this rifle is a tack driver, day in and day out, and makes for a great deer to elk gun. Zero to 300 yard shots are not a problem with a good rest.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JaegerBob .243 Nolser Partition
Nosler Partition bullets are the standard to which all other bullets are judged. I have used these bullets in various calibers (.243, .270, 7x64, 8x57JS, 30.06, 7mm Rem Mag and 9.3x62). Every animal that I have harvested were quick clean kills. No meat damage on any. I have hunted Namibia (Zebra, Kudu, Warthog, Oryx and Red Hartebeest), Germany (Roe, Pigs, Fox and Badger), North America (Deer and Bear). The precison and accuracy provided by these bullets are beyond compare. They mushroom at all velocities and are the only bullets that I trust to hunt and perform humane kill shots. You will not be disappointed!

I have shot the 165 partitions for years. Best shot was a mule deer in New Mexico a little better than 600 yards from my 300 Weatherby Mag. Great bullet for bigger critters.
I shoot 150 grain BT's for these small Texas deer. The bullet diameter and length are so consistant they are hard to beat. For accuracy, can't beat them in my book. If you place the bullet correctly, the deer absorbs all the energy the bullet has to deliver.

no ,they provide a consistent heat.I have noticed as it begins to wear out it gets a little hotter than usual.Not hot enough to burn however.A:
I don't think so. I've used these alot and I've never been busted by a deer while using them.Answers
Not sure how long they'd last because there pretty new. But treat them like anything you care about and they should be good for awhile.A:
I've used some that were well over a year old, they don't get as hot as brand new ones, but they do take the chill off.Answers
I like to keep them in either my jacket pocket or my pants pockets. They even have gloves now that have pockets for them to go in.A:

We are going on a winter retreat where my girls will be in elements of 7 degrees or less. Is this product (foot & hand warmer) safe for a 12 year old?Answers
Yes, this product is safe for a 12 year old. My son is 12 and he has used them while hunting when his hands get cold. They work very well.A:
Side of bag states " This product is used by professional athletes, outdoor sportsmen, spectators, skiers, construction workers and by those who want safe, convenient concentrated warmth. Up to 10 hours of safe comfortable warmth. # 1 on the bad stated Careful supervision is required for use with the elderly, infants, children, people with sensitive skin, and those who can't feel heat. Keep out of reach of children. Does state do not use while sleeping. My daughter is 12 and her friend of 12 years took a set to an event that was in the cold and had no problems with it, but of course her parents were with her too. I guess instructions from the parents are needed and, what are the capabilities of each child. Hate to say common sense is necessary, but there are many, sadly who lack that trait because they are not at that stage in development yet. Try it out, especially if you are going to be there. Good luck with the decision.A:
I have no problem letting my 12 year old use them for skiing or when we are outside in the cold. It will help them stay out longer.I don't believe they are made out of anything toxic.Its iron and some other mineral that reacts with air and generates heat.A:
Think yes..., no extreme heat. The only thing would be opening the warmer and "eating" that stuff, a problem for a 4 years old boy, not for a 12 years old (I think).A:
Absolutely safe. Assume they won't try to eat the ingredients! Only potential problem is that they will burn if you put them directly on your skin.A:
my grandchildren use these when we go ice fishing. the youngest is 4 years old. there is no danger of overheating.A:
Hand and body warmers are great. Be careful with the foot warmers, they get very very hot sometimesA:
Yes, safe. They don't get hot, just warm.A:
Yes, absolutely. My 11 year old uses them when sledding and tubing. They are an absolute must in cold weather. They work so well my daughter was complaining her hands were too warm!1 of 1

-- -- -- If you are reckless enough to create a crisis for the nation you had better know how to fix it.
Whose idea was to sequester and did you ever think that -- actually get to this point the first of maybe it was the White House.
First of all this -- is not something that I proposed something the congress has proposed it will not happen.
Everyone should be clear.
That's sequestration.
Is a Republican policy and it is a bad moments.
All I can say is the commander in chief came up with the idea of sequestration from.
The president is part of them.
This restaurant the White House recommended and frankly it was requested by the president and it was his idea signed into law by him first of all -- -- Not something that I propose something the Congress's proposed it will not happen.
This request from the president's idea in the origination -- must originate here at my house.
This question was something that was disgusting and has been reported it was an idea -- been.
The White House put forward well first of -- it was the president signed dale what this question was.
Was proposed -- -- the -- a couple of years ago.
First of all this -- is not something that I propose something that congress has proposed they won't -- happen.
What I will concede is that we were looking and the Republicans were looking for a trigger a round which -- Build the mechanism to get us out of default possibility right and it's a -- was one of that ideas put forward yes by the president's team.
And now the list house majority leader Eric Cantor outlining what he calls the Republicans common sense alternatives to automatic cuts.
And his website leader Kantor pointed out all -- so wasteful government spending now here funeral expenses he says should go on the chopping block first free cell phones.
This program costing taxpayers that means you 2.2 billion dollars this year alone.
Next a TV studio at the IRS now can you tell me why the IRS needs a TV studio and how much is as silly studio costing -- Try this four million dollars a year.
Then what's all the conferences do we really need them federal agencies -- for a 183 conferences over the last few years.
You know those are cheap -- the GSA conference in Vegas and while with a guy and the fact I'm.
-- that one cost about a million dollars.
Since -- pay to play video games the national science -- -- campaign senior citizens one point two million dollars to play video games.
Whatever happened to shuffle board and -- that's free.
Why did you ever chief political correspondent Byron York joins us good evening Byron good evening and we're approaches march 1 day but let me get something straight cannot sequestration just so I understand.
When we hit march 1 of sequestration goes into effect -- not cutting back we're really talking about not spending as much as we thought we went right.
The sequestration is not an actual cut in government spending it's not as if government spending is gonna go down like that it's actually gonna go up.
It's gonna go up a little less quickly in a little less -- -- -- would have without sequestration.
Then why in the world of people talking about things like pink slips for employees because it seems to -- if we're not cutting we're actually going up just as much -- Hollywood.
Why would anyone even lose a job what is anything why would -- readiness to be at risk in terms of military why Kennedy we were right to where we.
Nor -- there shouldn't be a lot of federal employees who do loses job there's a lot of talk about.
Furloughs we've talked about for example in the Defense Department.
-- civilian employees.
Being furloughed for 22 days in the next six months which basically means they would work on Friday for the next six months.
But in terms of people losing their jobs you're talking about projections -- -- federal agency makes for how much they're gonna spend over the next year.
What it's gonna cost and what cost of living increases are gonna give their employees and all that and they're gonna have to cut back on themselves.
Sitting get raises no -- give thanks of referral essentially right thank you okay.
Right -- today -- you get shout out at the White House by the Press Secretary Jay Carney let's let's listen to them.
Why would Republicans support a measure that threatens national security and thousands of jobs.
The effective -- argument as to make President Obama seemed reasonable.
After all the president certainly agrees with -- that the -- cuts threaten national security jobs the difference is that Obama wants to avoid them.
Couldn't set a better that was Byron York.
Well well it's not honor you get every -- -- what can I say.
He he that was exactly what I wrote but it wasn't all that I wrote I mean what I've basically road was.
Why is John Boehner.
Subscribing to the same rhetorical talking points as the Democrats on this I mean Boehner in his Wall Street Journal op Ed came out and said.
This sequester.
Will do enormous damage.
To US national security and two jobs he said it was detrimental to both of those things which is president Obama's position entirely instead of saying.
That the sequester is a relatively small first step.
Toward getting the federal spending under control in a way that would ultimately help the -- economy.
Can we get back to my first question if sequestration really isn't a cut but it just slowed growth.
How do we lose jobs you'd think we'd at least have the same job -- which is well maybe get as many who might have we've spent some money out there are and how to as it impedes national security for at this at the status well.
Well they're also talking as far as jobs are concerned and the larger economy if the government spends less of -- larger economy.
Then it would cost some jobs overall as far as media -- group of seven cost exactly as far as the military is concerned.
I mean there's a lot of controversy about this you have a lot of Republicans who were against sequestration.
Solely on the grounds of cuts to the federal government excuse me to the Defense Department.
And you've heard today Leon Panetta talking about -- hundreds of thousands of from workers.
Who will be furloughed and talked about the damage to combat readiness I would say there's an OMB report which is from the white house office of management budget.
Which says that they believe that does -- us secretary of defense and the president to do have the discretion to move money from around.
So that combat readiness would not be effective any -- -- thank you thank you.

So how does a one day Hall of Fame Left Guard who you'll probably remember being in town sound?
Steve Hutchinson... "HUTCH" is here for a visit reports Danny O from the Seattle Times blog.
Seahawks Offensive Co-ordinator Darrell Bevell was with Hutchinson in Minnesota. And I'm pretty sure Hutch loved the fishing in the northwest, and knows Robbie Tobeck and Walter Jones still have homes here.
He's a guy that would look good in a Seahawks uniform, so lets make it happen Pete and John.
Remember Seahawks fans. Don't be mad at Steve Hutchinson over that whole poison pill incident a few years back. That is all on Tim Ruskell.
Holmgren was ready to quit the team after that move. It's all on Ruskell. NOT Hutch.
Get over it 12th man.
Hutch wanted to be franchised, and then Ruskell thru the transition tag on him. That was absolute BS.
Ruskell was the moron. Hutch will always be fine in my books.
As Danny tweeted. "Time, regime change heals all. Steve Hutchinson visiting #Seahawks today."
Welcome home Steve. Welcome home. Don't leave the VMAC without collecting your signing bonus please.
I for one will welcome you back with open arms.
It's a crazy week for EX-Seahawks. As Doug Farrar said on his Twitter today.
John Carlson signed with Minnesota today as well in case you missed it.Quote:
Lofa Tatupu signs with the Falcons on the same day that Steve Hutchinson is released by the Vikings. Somwwhere, Tim Ruskell thinks he won.

Welcome back (logout)
If you've arrived here looking for car hire at Alicante Airport - this is definitely the page for you., hell it's even called "car-hire/alicante-airport" - Just fill in the form to the right and we'll show you the best possible deals in car hire Alicante Airport at this popular holiday airport.
We work with all the best car hire firms at Alicante Airport, both on-airport car hire operators and low-cost car hire "meet and greet" firms. Don't make the mistake of assuming "on airport" is faster.... at peak times at Alicante Airport, like Easter, Summer and Christmas, you can generally skip long queues in the car hire arrivals hall at Alicante Airport by choosing car hire companies with airport car hire service from the airport car parks or with a short transfer journey to Alicante car hire .. just an idea??
At CarJet Alicante, we have a great new search engine so you can research the best car hire deals at Alicante Airport, with the true picture about costs (that some of our competitors hide) like additional insurances or fuelling policy. We've been specialising in Alicante car hire since 1999 - that's over 13 years of Alicante car rental experience, there isn't much we don't know about car hire Alicante..
The imposing Santa Barbara Castle overlooks Alicante's cosmopolitan port area
Stunning views from Santa Barbara Castle over the Postiguet Beach and port areas.
CarJet still maintains a local office in Alicante car hire- it's where we grew up to be one of the web's most trusted sources of on-line car hire at Alicante Airport car hire. In that time, we've seen a lot of changes, not least Alicante Airport itself which has recently had a €629m make-over. The new terminal building is simply stunning, argueably "too much of a good thing" for an airport handling 10 million passengers a year and certainly ill-timed, as the new building came on-line in the middle of the worst recession in Spain's recent history.
That said, the investment has forever removed the fear felt by many "Alicantinos" that the airport was a bottle-neck strangling capacity and putting the region at a disadvantge compared to more pro-tourism regions, notably Malaga and Palma de Mallorca Airport.
There are a few capital citites that wouldn't mind an airport like this one!
The expansion of Alicante Airport is a massive investment - it recognises that Alicante Airport car hire is now more important nationally than many "bigger" capital cities - notablly Valencia Airport car hire and Seville Airport car hire. There are a whopping 27km of floor space, so those long lines at the car hire Alicante Airport should be a thing of the past.
Alicante Airport - car hire check-in desks
The new car hire hall in the arrivals area - Alicante Airport car hire
Car hire is a very lucrative activity for AENA (who own most Spanish airports), it's actually their second source of income after landing fees - if you hire a car at Alicante Airport, around 10% of the car hire price goes back to the airport authority in commission : food for thought?
car hire return Alicante Airport
Stephen's article walks you through returning a car hire to Alicante Airport
Stephen, our Reservations Manager, did a huge piece recently which explains the whole car hire return proceedure at Alicante Airport - you might find it worth reading before you travel for a "heads up" on your car hire Alicante Airport - a little local knowledge goes a long way!
Stephen's piece is here : "Returning your car hire to Alicante Airport"
an easyJet flight turning round at Murcia's San Javier Airport - car hire Murcia Airport
Murcia's San Javier Airport (to the South of Alicante) can be a useful mix & match location with Alicante car hire - flights into Murcia Airport seem to operate at better times than their counterparts into Alicante Airport. What's more, CarJet has one-way car hire between Murcia Airport and Alicante Airport as well as the nearby airports of Almeria Airport car hire and Valencia Airport car hire. Check it out!

CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE" data-pin-do="buttonBookmark">
WET OR DRY? New images suggest that recently formed bright deposits [lower left] may be rearranged puddles of dust, not water, based on the presence of similar bright material nearby [right]. CLICK HERE FOR LARGER IMAGE
Image: © SCIENCE
New detailed scans of Mars by an orbiting craft have turned up no conclusive evidence that liquid water coursed over the planet's surface in the past decade, researchers announced today.
NASA unveiled data nine months ago showing bright, riverlike shapes suddenly appearing on two sloping Martian gullies, which could be interpreted as trails left by melted ice springing from below the surface.
The new images, taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), reveal four additional new tracks but also show bright material in unchanged gullies, suggesting that the flows, which all occur on steep slopes, may have been dust avalanches.
The scans do expose traces of liquid water in and around relatively young impact craters, but not in several other regions thought to have once been flooded.
Researchers say the results, described in a pair of reports in Science, support the view that liquid water was likely the exception rather than the rule on Mars for most of its history. This contrasts with the belief that the planet once had a warm, wet climate.
"I think most of Mars for most of its history has been very dry," says Phil Christensen, a planetary scientist at Arizona State University in Tempe, who was not part of the study.
Liquid water does seem to have left its mark on some spots, such as Endurance Crater in Meridiani Planum, where the Mars rover Opportunity three years ago discovered minerals that form on Earth in salty water.
"It's got these few gems that [show], wow, something cool went on there," Christensen says. "It's sort of Yellowstone in this sea of the Midwest."
Such "Yellowstones" make stargazers drool, because liquid water is the best indicator that life could have bloomed elsewhere in the universe. NASA planners are also eager to learn where Mars might contain liquid water to help plan a possible trip to the Red Planet in coming decades.
A primary goal of the MRO is to understand the history of Martian water, which is locked up as ice in the planet's poles and perhaps in lesser quantities across the surface. The high-resolution science imaging experiment (HiRISE), a camera on board the MRO, allows researchers to map the surface for signs of past water.
Dry Me a River
Researchers quickly homed in on Centauri-Hellas Montes and Terra Sirenum, where brilliant flowing deposits appeared in images taken by an earlier orbiter, the Mars Global Surveyor, in 2004 and 2005 that were absent in earlier snapshots.
The deposits fanned like a fluid around rocks, the group confirms, but they had not changed shape since last observed 15 months ago, suggesting they are something other than frost or ice, which would have evaporated. In addition, the average slope of the six total deposits was more than 20 degrees.
"They still could have been moved by water, but we also found the slopes were steep enough that they could have been caused by dry fluids," says Alfred McEwen, professor of planetary sciences at the University of Arizona in Tucson, and HiRISE team leader. "That would have to be considered the more conservative hypothesis."
Christensen says he still believes the gullies were carved by running water, but "there's no conclusive smoking gun that, gosh, water came roaring out the surface within the last year," he says.
"What everyone's been hoping for is that you could actually see one of these gullies discharging water. I think we're going to have to actually land near one of these sites."

Abu Dhabi Sheikh Invests In Branson's Space Tourism Project
Last time I wrote about Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan he was flying horses to Abu Dhabi. He's in the news again with a big purchase. The Telegraph reports that he has bought a 32 percent stake in Richard Branson's space tourism project, Virgin Galactic ,for $280 million. The deal, which was done through the sheikh's company Aabar, puts the value of Virgin Galactic at $900 million even though it hasn't begun to offer flights yet. The deal represents a significant vote for the viability and inevitable profitability of space travel. This deal means that Abu Dhabi will be hosting Virgin Galactic tourism and research flights. There is also a plan to build spaceport facilities in Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile Sir Richard Branson is showing off the WhiteKnightTwo (VMS Eve), at the Experimental Aircraft Association's 2009 AirVenture annual fly-in and convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The spacecraft that will carry the tourists, SpaceShipTwo, should begin testing later this year. No date for the start of commercial operations has been set yet but around 300 people have paid the $200,000 for an advance space ticket.

Startups.com is very similar to StackExchange sites in terms of style. Is it part of the family?
It's a StackExchange 1.0 site. Although StackExchange is similar to StackOverflow, and based upon it, they are two separate entities, and SE questions should be asked at Meta SE. | ||||
I believe it's a site using the stackoverflow engine, though not affiliated with stackoverflow itself as the meta/SU/SF/SO siblings are. | |||
No, it's not one of the official sites (i.e. not part of the StackOverflow trilogy - now quadrology). It is however based on the StackExchange platform, designed by Fog Creek Software, the creators of SO (i.e. Jeff, Joel, and co.). | |||
