HOUSTON - A Houston woman was shocked when her $14 breakfast at a west Houston Denny's turned into a $1,389 bill.
Tochi Brown said a recent trip to a Denny's turn into a credit nightmare.
"I got in there about 1 a.m. and ordered my usual -- an omelet," said Brown.
Fifteen minutes after she left the Denny's on Interstate 10 and Bunker Hill, her bank noticed suspicious activity on her credit card.
"They said, 'Did you eat $1,389.40 worth of food this morning at Denny's?' I was like, 'I don't think so,'" said Brown.
Her charge for the $14 was debited. But the bank blocked the second, higher charge.
"I feel violated. It makes me feel disrespected," said Brown.
Wanting more information as to how this could happen, she called the Denny's manager.
"He put me on hold. Came back and said, 'Let me check the record.' He wanted the check number. He put me on hold again. After 30 minutes, the whole thing stunk," said Brown
Frustrated by not getting help from the manager and not getting in touch with the owner of the Denny's which is listed as Rams Food, Inc., she turned to the Better Business Bureau. And this particular Denny's is a member.
"Pardon the bad pun, this was the grand slam on the account. It's a valid complaint," said Dan Parsons of the Better Business Bureau.
According to guidelines, members have 15 days to respond to a complaint.
"We have reached the end of the jeopardy process today. We prepared the letter saying we're revoking you," said Parsons.
The owner can appeal but the membership is suspended.

Why did you add production facilities in the Philippines and Vietnam?
MYSTERY RANCH added these facilities because of the increased demand for our product. We needed the additional facilities to build for customers who don't require (Berry Compliant) US production and / or don't want to pay a premium price for products built in the U.S.A. With these additional offshore facilities, we are able to focus our domestic facilities on the Berry Compliant orders.
How do I know if the pack I want is made in the US, PH, or VN?
It will be noted on the product page on our website and you are always welcome to call us and ask if you don't see the "US" or "world" icons that denote production location.
Is the quality of the packs the same?
Yes, absolutely! We carefully select the highest quality materials and ensure that all production facilities adopt our quality standards and techniques to deliver products consistent with the MYSTERY RANCH legacy. Our distributors who have received product from the US, PH, or VN are unable to tell the difference without looking at the label.
How do you ensure consistent quality?
Our factory resources use the protocol defined by our team in our production packages in order to deliver consistent quality gear. Upon introduction of new products, our product engineers visit our factory resources to work with them to develop new styles. As the product goes to production, our QA and QC teams will then visit our US, PH, and VN factories to ensure the finished goods meet our MYSTERY RANCH standards.

FOOTBALL hero Gary Parkinson started 'chuckling' when former Burnley team-mate David Eyres relayed memories of theor promotion adventures in the 1990s.
The 42-year-old, who is recovering from a major stroke, should talk again and regain some movement, according to Turf Moor favourite Eyres.
Doctors feared Gary had been affected by 'locked-in syndrome' a form of paralysis which leaves sufferers unable to speak, move or swallow.
But medical experts at the Bury neuro-rehab unit where he is being treated have now said the stroke has not affected his vocal chords and have high hopes he will regain some movement.
Gary's wife Deborah has also paid tribute to the fans, from current and former clubs, including Burnley, Blackpool and Preston, who have sent goodwill messages since the former right-back was struck down in September.
Ex-winger Eyres, who has been visiting his team-mate each week, said: "I was holding his hand and chatting to him about when we played for Burnley, when we got promotion, and he was chuckling.
"He had only been responding by lifting his eyes previously – it was just amazing.
"You get upset when you see Gary, but Deborah has been so strong.
"She has been told that he should regain his voice, as his vocal chords have not been affected.
"It is clearly going to take a long, long time to get back to any sort of life but the fact Gary has been told he will speak again is great."
Alan Beecroft, of Colne Clarets, said: "This is good news.
"We have got to keep everything crossed that he can get more movement back."

ALVECHURCH boss Dean Holtham admits he's facing a pitch conundrum after Saturday's home clash against Tipton was called off.
With the playing surface at Lye Meadow too boggy to play on because of torrential rain, the Churchmen were left to kick their heels in the Midland Alliance and see their recent excellent momentum stalled.
In addition, training was called off on Tuesday night, with hopes high that a session could be held tomorrow evening.
While the majority of the squad train daily at Wast Hills because they are part of Birmingham City's development squad, a handful of Holtham's playing staff have had to fend for themselves.
Gary Ray, Jazz Luckie and Scott Smith were not drafted in as part of the link-up with Birmingham City youth project.
Holtham said: "Unfortunately, there is nowhere else to train if the pitch is out of action.
"It's okay for most of the squad because of they train at Wast Hills but there are three or four players who don't have that luxury.
"They are all fairly young, fit guys and I have been assured by them they are doing something."
Alvechurch were set to look at the pitch last night and work out a plan of action.
Despite the disruption, Holtham admits the break could be seen as a blessing in disguise.
He added: "There's been a lot of games of late, so a break could be a good thing for us."
Meanwhile, Alvechurch take on fifth-placed Bridgnorth in the league on Saturday (3pm ko).

HORSE TRADE THEATER GROUP is a self-sustaining theater development group; with a focus on new work that has produced a massive quantity of stimulating downtown theater. Horse Trade's Resident Artist Program offers a home to a select group of Independent theater artists, pooling together a great deal of talent and energy. It is also the home of FRIGID New York – the first and only festival of its kind in New York City. In 2011 Horse Trade received the New York Innovative Theatre Ellen Stewart Stewardship Award for demonstrating a significant contribution to the Off-Off-Broadway community through service, support and leadership.
FRIGID NEW YORK was founded by Horse Trade and EXIT Theatre in 2007. Since founding The San Francisco Fringe Festival - the 2nd oldest fringe in the United States - nearly 17 years ago, EXIT has learned a thing or two about festival running. They introduced Horse Trade to the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) in mid-2006. Besides feedback from dozens of thrilled CAFF participants and artists, Horse Trade was drawn to its main principle: "…to provide all artists, emerging and established, with the opportunity to produce their play no matter the content, form or style and to make the event as affordable and accessible as possible for the members of the community," Horse Trade is proud to sign on to the tradition and chill out the New York independent theatre scene's ideas of what a theatre festival can be.

Widnes coach Denis Betts was delighted with his side's resilience as they twice came from behind to beat Salford 32-18 and maintain their perfect start to the 2014 First Utility Super League.
Stand-off Kevin Brown made a successful return from injury, scoring two crucial tries in the last 15 minutes to help the Vikings to a third successive home win that enables them to draw level with Leeds, Castleford and St Helens at the top.
"Salford came and put up a fight," Betts said. "They were very physical. They got off their line quick and were intimidating at times.
"But what you see from us is a side that has got a lot of resilience now. It's built up over a period of time.
"I thought we were scrappy from an attacking point of view but we are going to be rusty until we get our key players playing regularly.
"I thought Joe Mellor and Kevin Brown were two impressive half-backs."
Salford led 18-14 thanks to a spectacular solo try from winger Greg Johnson and others from Theo Fages and Tommy Lee, but coach Brian Noble felt the game turned on their failure to deal with Brown's high kick that produced a try for Widnes half-back Joe Mellor.
However, it was a marked improvement on their 38-0 drubbing by St Helens a week earlier and provided encouragement for Noble.
"I thought 45 or 50 minutes into the game we were in control but we didn't handle the bomb," said Noble. "It changed the course of the game.
"It's a tough place to come. They got a bit of momentum in the middle part of the second half and we didn't quite manage the game properly but I've no doubt we'll get better."
Already without England internationals Rangi Chase and Gareth Hock, the Red Devils lost centre Junior Sa'u and forward Steve Rapira with shoulder injuries while full-back Jake Mullaney finished with an ankle problem.
"We're a bit busted in there and we're a bit sorry for ourselves but we're two from two," Noble said.
"I thought we were massively improved on last week in certain areas. It's coming. We made some big strides tonight."
Meanwhile, Noble is expecting big things from Johnson, who was playing part-time rugby with Batley last season.
"I think he's really exciting for the game," Noble said. "He'll get better and better as we get him more ball in the right areas."

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - People have joked about them for years, those mattress tags stating "Do not remove under penalty of law." But a Metro East woman who removed hers literally lost sleep over it and thought she was out $1,500.
"I like to use the kitchen counter top to stretch," said Amy Murphy as she demonstrated what she does to fight off pain. "I do this a lot. Years ago, I played roller hockey so my back is not great."
Neither was her mattress, so Amy Murphy decided to buy a new one. She went to Mattress Source in Edwardsville, and on the advice of her salesman, paid $1,500 for a memory foam model.
"Because he says it's great when your back hurts and it will make you feel better," she recalled.
On top of that, it has a 25-year warranty. But within months, the mattress began to sag in the middle.
"Now every morning I'm getting up and I'm feeling exactly like I did with my old pillow top. I'm walking like I'm 100-years-old," she said.
So Murphy contacted Mattress Source, which came out and documented the sag similar to how she demonstrated to 5 on Your Side, using a string placed across the mattress and a ruler to measure the space between the string and the mattress.
"I thought, 'Well, how can you go wrong with a 25-year warranty?" she said.
But Murphy committed a big no-no, she cut that tag. You know, the tag that says "Do not remove under penalty of law." The mattress police never showed up, but a problem sure did.
"They told me it says on that tag if you remove this it voids your warranty," said Murphy. "I now call it the punishment tag."
She had her paperwork proving her purchase, but there seemed to be nothing the speech therapist could say to solve the problem, so she asked for help from 5 on Your Side's Mike Rush, who called Mattress Source, which was quick to respond.
Within days, "well, I have a brand new bed," said Murphy, with a smile.
It's even an upgrade at no extra charge; no unwanted sag, and yes, a new, never-to-be-cut, tag.
Rush: "So the big question is, how does your back feel?"
Murphy: "Better than it has felt in many, many months."
A spokesperson for Mattress Source says most manufacturers won't take mattresses back without tags, but this one agreed.
By the way, it's only unlawful to remove the tag before a sale. That's to protect buyers so they know it's a new mattress and what filler is inside. It is, of course, not against the law for the owner to remove the tag.

Kolkata, Oct 19 (IANS) Suspended Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh who was summoned by West Bengal Police again for his alleged complicity in the Saradha Group chit-fund scam, Saturday said he is being victimised by the administration.
"Let us see what more is there for them to ask me. It seems they feel I am the only person who knows about Sudipta Sen (arrested Saradha Group promoter)," Ghosh told reporters at the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, which is probing the scandal.
Ghosh, accused by Sen of involvement in the state's biggest financial scandal, was also interrogated by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) in New Delhi Thursday and Friday.
Sen has accused Ghosh of blackmailing him and barging into his office with miscreants and extracting a sale deed for a media house which Sen owned.
The journalist-turned MP, who was earlier suspended by the Trinamool for being "anti-party", has been questioned multiple times by West Bengal Police, more after his suspension from the ruling party.
Ghosh, who earlier headed Saradha's media arm, has repeatedly claimed he was being made a scapegoat and demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe.
While the CBI has not formally taken over the Saradha probe, other central agencies - Enforcement Directorate, SFIO and SEBI - are probing the matter.
The Saradha scandal came to light in April. The company closed shop across West Bengal after it failed to pay back the depositors -- mainly poor people who, lured by the promise of huge returns, parked their life's savings with the firm.
As the company went bust, there was a spate of suicides by agents and investors and protests across the state.

Title says if you still care. What a bunch of fanboyism. It's hard to get to the real news on this site because you have to weed through all the unprofessional derogatory comments by the authors.
14. bizwhizzy (Posts: 51; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
It's nothing against the platform. My issue is with Gameloft who took 8 months to release a game that still wasn't optimized properly, doesn't rum well on the platform's flagship device, and costs $7. That's unacceptable, and any fan of WP should be pissed at Gameloft.
17. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
It looks like they dont want to push or make games for Wp8 platform.
They should be more pissed with Wp8 not Gameloft.
That shows there are no demand for this!

and look you came crawling back, nothing in your life is there kid except trying desperately to get attention
face facts it may of taken time but this shows there coming to wp8, now if it continues its grwowth soon you
will have games been released on all 3 os's withing say a month no more long waits just like what happened with android.
20. BesnikRrustemi (Posts: 44; Member since: 08 Jan 2013)
i wonder:
1.how do you think they could release a game for a platform that wasn`t released that time,what are you talking about.windows phone 8 was released in 29 october if you know what i mean
2. why do people comment here without knowing what are they saying.first do some research and maybe then you could troll someone.
3.why cant you people be sincere and even if you are in another platform put a good comment if you like an article or if you don`t just skip it,instead of being As$H0les

"if you still care"... not every gamer gives a squat about late arrival of a game while playing, Mr. Author.

Michael, I used to like your articles, but lately, they are full of fanboyism, or rather, hatred towards a certain OS/Manufacturer.
WP8 is a new OS, I am using it, and compared to android, it still has many shortcomings, but please, give some credits when it's due. I am a fan of android, but I have to say that I am impressed very much by WP8. It has some things iOS doesn't have (BT file transfer, anyone? or the ability to tweak camera settings) and android doesn't have (the integration seen in People and Me hub, Kid's Corner), while at the same time it has its shortcomings, too (No system wide file explorer, relatively limited apps).
So please, be a little more professional like you were used to be by not saying "If you still care..."

The Art of Midwifery
Nourishing Long Labors
It's important for the birthing woman to stay well hydrated and eat during a prolonged labor. Just a few bites and sips at a time can make a significant difference in how well the woman holds up. Miso soup with noodles makes an excellent long-labor snack, as does yogurt and fruit or honey. Popsicles made ahead of time from the juice of her choice can be appreciated, too. Recharge is a good beverage for long labors.

US Breastfeeding Rates Stagnate
A new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report shows US breastfeeding rates at 6 and 12 months have stalled and are not reaching national targets.
According to the report, among infants born in 2007, 75% were breastfed in the very early postpartum days, but six months later only 43% of babies were receiving any breast milk. By 12 months, fewer than one in four infants was being breastfed (22%). Both numbers are below national targets of 50% breastfeeding at 6 months and 25% breastfeeding at 12 months.
"High breastfeeding initiation rates show that most mothers in the U.S. want to breastfeed and are trying to do so," the report states. "However, even from the very start, mothers may not be getting the breastfeeding support they need. Low breastfeeding rates at 3, 6 and 12 months illustrate that mothers continue to face multiple barriers to breastfeeding."
The report slaps hospitals and birth facilities on the wrist for low levels of breastfeeding support.
"Across the US, the average level of support that birth facilities provide to mothers and babies as they get started with breastfeeding is inadequate, and hospital practices and policies that interfere with breastfeeding remain common. In the U.S., too few hospitals participate in the global program to recognize best practices in supporting breastfeeding mothers and babies, known as the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative."
Among the 50 states included in the report, Idaho had the highest percentage of infants who breastfed during the early postpartum period, while Mississippi had the lowest. Oregon had the highest rate of exclusively breastfed babies at 6 months (23.7%), and Mississippi had the lowest (6.5%). To view the entire report, with a breakdown of the states' individual ratings, visit www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/data/reportcard.htm.

Gauging Labor the Non-invasive Way
Who invented First Stage? Did it come about when we started putting our hands inside women? This act, of course, killed many women because doctors were doing it before they learned to wash their hands. First Stage is most likely a male invention, though perhaps midwives took it up when they experienced obstructed labors. It is helpful to delineate labor, but doing so has probably caused way more problems than it has alleviated. Michel Odent teaches us that the less we disturb the laboring woman the better. We can, most likely, slow a labor down with vaginal exams (VEs) even though women themselves often ask for one even if the midwife prefers not to do them. However, mother-leading is best. We are in partnership with women, but she is going by her thoughts, knowledge and culture. You have time to change and educate during the prenatal period, but at birth follow her lead!
I remember being at a class at a Midwifery Today conference in London, England. Jane Evans, a British independent midwife, was talking about not doing VE unless there was really a reason to do one. She was explaining how hard it often is to just sit on your hands and do nothing. Nicky Leap, another UK midwife who now lives in Australia, wrote that the less we do the more we give. How does this all add up in today's world of protocols, where you often have to do something and record it in order to keep your certification, license or whatever? For those who can read the signs of labor, the VE often becomes a moot point. Learn all you can about the outward signs of where a woman is in her labor.
The red line is an excellent, non-invasive gauge of labor's progression. When you learn how to read the red line, you'll know how many centimeters dilated a mother is. In an article ("Primips: Women Having Their First Babies") originally printed in Midwifery Today magazine, Issue 55 (Winter 2000), Gloria Lemay tells us how to read that red line: "Watch her rectum. The rectum will tell you a good deal about where the baby's forehead is located and how the dilation is going. If there is no rectal flaring or distention with the grunting, there is still more dilating to do. A dark red line extends straight up from the rectum between the bum cheeks when full dilation happens. To observe all this, of course, the mother must be in hands and knees or side-lying position."
Labor is for bringing the baby down and out. If we are going in and up, we are reversing the natural order. Let us try to find the most optimal ways of working with the natural process of birth. It cannot be improved upon in 90–95% of cases. Discerning the 5–10% is the hard part. With good prenatal care and careful attention to our reactions, we can probably come close.

ACOG: Moderate Caffeine Consumption Does Not Cause Miscarriage, Preterm Birth
Moderate caffeine consumption does not appear to cause miscarriage or preterm birth, according to a recent report conducted by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and published in the August 2010 edition of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.
The ACOG committee said women who consume less than 200 mg of caffeine per day—the equivalent of a 12-ounce cup of brewed coffee—are not at increased risk for miscarriage or preterm birth. However, ACOG "remains unclear whether high levels of caffeine consumption have any link to miscarriage."

Prolonged Labor: Past & Present
Labor marathons are often rooted in emotional discord. Fostering loving trust and loyal, determined commitment will usually see you through. As long as nutrition and hydration are offered freely, and vital signs remain reassuring, labor may take as long as it need to. I don't believe there is a time limit. Families know we will only turn toward surgical options in cases of absolute need.
Unfortunately, caregiver fatigue, physician distress or boredom also leads to surgical interventions. The midwife transports because she is exhausted or inadequately prepared; the doctor proposes surgery out of his own burden of fear and expected role as deliverer. Tired and fed up with the whole mess, the family goes along with anything just to get it over with. Interventions at these times are not medically necessary, but under the duress of the situation, it seems like the best choice. This sort of decision is one many later regret.
Our jobs are to blend diligent overseeing with sincere encouragement, massage, herbs or homeopathy, hydrotherapy, supported ambulation, music, prayer and rest. Studies validate these complementary modalities. When we have tried everything, we may still bring in fresh attendants or call for advice. We don't throw in the towel until we've tried absolutely everything and maybe even try something new. Only then will we know that we gave it our very best, so if something is really wrong, we will be grateful for that medical miracle.
A skillful midwife is more than a friendly handmaiden with monitoring tools and an ability to call 911. While I find infatuation with automated birthing repugnant, neither do I want to be the limited midwife of the past. Solidly grounded in contemporary knowledge and appropriate technology, I thrill at using new research to outwit complications, sharing methods with sister midwives around the world, finessing botanical combinations to surpass antibiotics' effectiveness and by refining manual approaches to problems to which others apply scalpels.

Question of the Week
Q: I have just learned that I am pregnant with our second child. At three weeks postpartum with my first child (after a beautiful homebirth) I suddenly developed severe and very painful hemorrhoids that lasted until about four months postpartum. I went to the doctor in extreme pain and after examining me, he could find nothing noticeably wrong. I have since learned of two other women who experienced the same situation—no issues until three weeks postpartum and then severe pain that lasted until four months postpartum. At first I thought it could be related to the position I/we labored/gave birth in, but one of the three women had a scheduled cesarean. Could it be related to a drop in hormone levels? I had a very healthy and uneventful pregnancy and birth, and recovered quickly in every other way. I am looking for any information that can help me prevent this in my next postpartum period. Thank you!

Question of the Week Responses
Q: Do you induce labor with herbs, homeopathy or other natural remedies in your practice? If you do induce, what are the reasons for the induction?
— Midwifery Today staff
A: I am a childbirth educator and doula, so I don't make the decisions for when my clients are induced. I do prepare them fully to take care of their bodies by eating an optimal diet and exercising to prevent the need for a medically indicated induction. The most common reason for an induction is going to 42 weeks. I am often contacted for "ways to get the labor started" right around the due date. I do not encourage my clients to do "natural techniques," which insinuates the body isn't working properly, especially prior to 41 weeks. Instead, I try to get them to relax and enjoy the end of their pregnancy. If mom gets near the 42-week point, my main suggestions are: for suspected fetal malpositioning I recommend a chiropractor. For stress, anxiety, fear, or emotional issues I recommend acupuncture and/or homeopathy. Along with preparing my mothers to take charge of their health prenatally and utilizing these techniques nearing 42 weeks, induction is a very rare occurrence.
— Michelle McClafferty, CD, ICCE
A: Induction—with herbs, homeopathy, natural remedies or drugs—is still an induction. I trust birth, and babies' wisdom in the process. As the research now suspects that a fetal lung protein, once released into the amniotic fluid, may be responsible for initiating labor, one may question induction.
Seeing the risks of prematurity, one may want to sincerely question induction once again, as it is responsible for life-lasting consequences for babies born everyday around the world. Of course, everyone knows at least one woman who "lost her baby because of postdates," yet one can never really predict who that will be, or if the baby was going to make it if labor had been provoked. I believe in the wisdom of babies, mothers and the creator. I also strongly discourage the use of castor oil, as it is a laxative that may cross the placental barrier and could potentially result in the baby having a bowel movement too. Why introduce a risk for the sake of ... what? Who are we inducing mothers for, again?

Dear Midwifery Today,
Mother Health International (MHI) is seeking midwives to volunteer in our clinic in Jacmel, Haiti.
Midwives must have five or more years experience as a primary midwife, have caught 30 or more babies in the last 24 months, be available to volunteer three or more weeks at the MHI birth clinic, and be willing to pay for their travel to and from Jacmel, Haiti. If you are interested in volunteering at our clinic in Jacmel, please download and submit the application located at http://www.motherhealthinternational.org and click on Volunteers. All applications can be returned to firstname.lastname@example.com
MHI is not accepting student midwives at this time; however, preparations are underway to make this possible in the near future. Located on Haiti's southern coast, Jacmel suffered extensive causalities and was left littered with crumbled buildings and destruction after the January 12, 2010, 7.0 earthquake.
MHI founding members were part of a first-responder team of seven medics, midwives and support staff who traveled to Jacmel, Haiti, on January 28, 2010, via Santa Domingo, Dominican Republic, to offer disaster relief to women and children. With the help from private donations, NGOs, nonprofit organizations and government organizations, the team was able to provide emergency medical aid, water and food to the women and children who survived the earthquake. Shortly after arriving in Jacmel, the founders of MHI recognized the greater need beyond disaster and emergency aid and began the process to build a holistic Maternal Birth Clinic in the heart of one of the most under served areas in Haiti, St. Helen Parish. On March 10, 2010, MHI officially opened our doors to pregnant women and started prenatal evaluations immediately. Today nearly 100 babies have been born at our birth center and thousands of prenatal visits have been preformed. The MHI birth clinic is modeled after the Midwifery Model of Care. Our birth center is housed in a 44-foot dome structure (1,500 square feet) on a piece of land with a small house in front of it that serves as our home for volunteers. Midwives come from around the world to donate their time to serve the mothers of Jacmel.

THIS is the time to look forward. It is the time for hopes and dreams – a metaphorical buckling on of pads or taking one's seat in the stand.
It is a time to plan trips to exciting fixtures or tournaments and above all it is a rare time for total optimism.
That is how I regard the future fortunes of our county cricket club. The fixture list is the most exciting for years and we have some fine emerging cricketers.
We looked short of an opening bat and captain but then came the news that Gloucestershire had signed the experienced Aussie Michael Klinger.
This is another coup for John Bracewell and the county, especially as Klinger is available for all three domestic competitions.
Yes, we are short of a spin bowler – but perhaps not for too much longer, as two players in Gloucestershire's Academy have been selected for the England U19 tour of South Africa.
Tom Shrewsbury and Miles Hammond are further examples of the raft of young talent at Bristol, following Chris Dent and David Payne in gaining international recognition at U19 level.
Their tour consists of both Test matches and ODIs and will be a real learning experience for two talented cricketers.
Tom, from Cornwall, is completing his education at Wycliffe College, Stroud, as part of an agreement between school and club. Miles is based in Oxford.
Both have been under the wing of Academy Director Owen Dawkins and could be pushing for first team recognition this season.
Of the senior staff, Alex Gidman is slimmer and trimmer and looks capable of glorious Gidman runs. At the most exciting Cheltenham Festival, cheering his 1,000 runs for the season would be a delight.
The signing of 2012 was Carolyn Prosser, who is now responsible for PR at the County Cricket Ground and acts as Tom Richardson's PA.
Possessed of both glamour and gumption in abundance, Carolyn is expert at keeping everyone informed at what happens at Bristol – look at the website and you will see what I mean.
I have one challenge for her. My greatest achievement as chairman was restoring caramel slices to the lunch bag given to journalists.
The national cricket press rose as one in acclaim. I was mentioned in ECB dispatches. They have been withdrawn again to the dismay of the press. You know what you have to do, Carolyn.
The lowest moment of 2012 came at Cheltenham. Gloucestershire's promotion push was still possible but a run chase against Leicestershire was mismanaged. Forty-seven runs needed, six wickets in hand, ten overs left. It should have been easy. I hope lessons were learned.

ROYAL OAK, Mich. - Royal Oak police said an 80-year-old woman has been viciously killed in her home.
Police said Nancy Maureen Dailey was found dead Sunday evening by a cousin who had gone to check on her at her home on Trafford Street, which is near Woodward Avenue and 13 Mile Road.
Police said her hands had been bound behind her back and her throat was cut. They also said it appeared Dailey had struggled with her attacker and items were missing from her home.
Police said the crime likely happened between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. and that a white SUV or minivan was seen on the street at the time of the incident. Anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in the area at that time is asked to call the Royal Oak Police Department at 248-246-3500.
Neighbors Local 4 spoke with said the area is quiet and that Dailey was active in the community.
"She walked every day, she was active. You would see her walking in the summer and winter up and down the road here," said neighbor Bud Martin.

Dear All,
I am using a Huawei E173 Modem to connect to FLSMS.
Sometimes I have success and the 2 way communication between phone and FLSMS works, but majority of the time this doesnt work.
I have downloaded a new version of FLSMS and even used SIMS from MTN, Orange, Telenor, Lycamobile.
What happens is that activities within FLSMS show that the message is received and response sent out, but the target phone doesnt get the SMS
Sometimes FLSMS doesnt receive the SMS sent at all.
I have asked friends in Sweden and Cameroon to send SMSes to the number but I have only had 2 successes out of 20 with Cameroon and maybe 4 successes when the SMS is sent from Sweden.
This is giving me headache as I have to do a demonstration of FLSMS with some farmers and skeptics on Thursday March 15th.
The attached files below for example shows regular activities on the FLSMS panel. But non of those messages were received back to the phone,. IN attachment 2 I did some trouble shooting between 4th March to the 11th March and had less than 20% Success. And I can assure you I have done everything right.
I really need your help.
Thank you.

Hi Tambe Harry
Thank you for getting in touch here on the forum, and sorry to hear you are having these difficulties.
Just to check a few things - have you run through all the troubleshooting suggestions in our help files: http://help.frontlinesms.com/manuals/184.108.40.206/troubleshooting.htm? Is the device set to send and receive (you can check this by right clicking on the connected device in the phones tab)? Have you checked that you have enough credit on the SIM card being used (bearing in mind the international message costs for sending to Sweden)? And are you always using the international dialing code in contact numbers (it looks like you mostly are in the attached documents, but I noticed a few numbers without the international code)?
These are just a few questions to check what you have tried during your troubleshooting so far. Hopefully we can help you get to the bottom of the problem in time for your demo on 15th March. We'll look forward to hearing back from you.
All the Best
Hi Flo,
I have gone through the Troubleshooting. The numbers with international codes are those of friends I asked to send in SMSes to test the receptivity and triggering effect of FLSMS. It didnt work. I then used local numbers to send in SMSes to the SIM but these too show they are received, triggered, but the phone doesnt get them.
The SIM in the modem is connected to my contract phone and so there should be no problem with credit. I have also loaded a prepaid SIM and used it in the Modem, but the results are same.
Sometimes I get this message of duplicate connection, and I have to restart. What I know is that when it works, it usually does so from COM7 port.
But looking at this new attachment you shall see that the connection is not the way it should be: it shows COM5.
I think I can still meet my deadline if I get help from other members as well who might have experienced same problem and then solved it.
Tambe Harry
Hi Tambe Harry,
Thanks for your reply. Could you please send along your FrontlineSMS logs (which you can do via the Help>Submit error report option in FrontlineSMS), and I will check in with our developer team to see if they have any further suggestions on what the problem is here.
I hope that support here on the community forum can help you get to the bottom of these issues as soon as possible.
I just submitted the FLSMS logs from my account through the FLSMS software.
Thanks, Tambe Harry. I've asked our developer team to take a look, and we will get back to you with further information on this as soon as possible.
Hi Harry,
Thanks for sending us your logs.
If you are seeing that SMS sending and receiving only works from COM7, you could tell FrontlineSMS to completely ignore COM5 and any other ports you think are causing problems - to do this, go to the FrontlineSMS properties directory (you can find the location in Help > Show Configuration Location) and edit the file comm.properties. Add a line such as:
Then restart FrontlineSMS and check the Phones tab - you should see that only COM7 is detected now.
If the problems persist, we can get some more information if you turn up the logging level for your modem - in the same properties folder, open log4j.properties and change the line
to read
You'll then need to re-run FrontlineSMS and wait for the problem to recur. Once this has happened, resend your logs and we can check again.
Hope this all helps,
Hi Tambe Harry
I hope Alex'a above advice was helpful for you? Please do let us know how you get along, and if we can be of any further help in preparation for your training tomorrow.
All the Best
Alex when I folllowed the Help > Show Configuration Location) and edit the file comm.properties, all I saw was this :C:\Users\HARRY\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\FrontlineSMS\
I didnt see any comm.properties which I should edit as you suggested.
Then I couldnt get to send you the logging level as you requested because I didnt know how to do that .
Could you send me more information how to do this?
Hi Tambe Harry,
Here are a few guidance tips on how to get to comm.properties as Alex suggested. When you go to Help -> Show Configuration Location, you will see a text box appear with a link. In your case, it sounds like the link that you saw is C:\Users\HARRY\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\FrontlineSMS\. This link will help you to get to the comm.properties. Here is what you do:
1) On your computer, open a folder such as "My Documents" (sometimes just called "Documents) OR go to My computer (sometimes just called "Computer").
2) Copy and paste your link (C:\Users\HARRY\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\FrontlineSMS\) in the address bar (see this website to confirm what the address bar is - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Working-with-files...). When you paste the link in the address bar, a new folder will open. In this folder, you will see a folder called "properties". Open the properties folder.
3) When you open the "properties" folder, you will see a file called "comm". Open this file. This is the comm.properties file.
4) In this file, type ignore=COM5,COM6 (or whatever COM ports you want to block). Click Save and close the file.
5) You might need to restart your computer. And then open the FrontlineSMS application. When you do, and you click on the Phones tab, the ports that you ignored should not be listed as Alex suggested.
The log4j file is also in the properties folder that I mentioned above. You can add the lines that Alex suggested in that file. You can also refer to this link http://www.frontlinesms.com/user-resources/help/how-do-i-increase-t... or other frequently asked questions on our website.
I hope this is helpful! Dont hesitate to let us, here at FrontlineSMS, know if you need anything else!
I shall get back to you as soon as I try it and let you know how it went.
Hello Alex and Kavita
I have done as adviced. COM5 still appears and even connects
I still have duplicate connection , and the sms i sent in duplicate connection mode is NOT received.
Yet I dont receive SMS in target phone from FLSMS even though it shows that FLSMS triggered a response.
Should I delete all the files in the Comm.properties before replacing with ignore=COM5,COM6,?
I am really hoping to get a permanent solution for this.
Hi Tambe,
I initially experienced the same results as you did - but then after I entered "ignore=COM5,COM6" in the comm.properties file and clicked save, I
- unplugged my modem
- restarted my computer
- plugged back in the modem [when the computer started back up]
- opened the FrontlineSMS application
Did you also do all these actions? I know they all sound repetitive, but after I unplugged the modem and restarted the computer, THEN the application was finally able to ignore the COM ports that i specified.
[No, you should not need to delete all the other file in comm.properties. I would say just make sure ignore=COM5,COM6 is at the beginning of the file.

The last time anyone saw the Florence Freedom, they had lost 6-1 to the Chillicothe Paints in the regular season finale on their way to a disappointing 42-54 season.
"We battled injuries from spring training and it steam rolled last season. Our offense was not as productive early in the season. We started playing good midseason and we were happy with how we were playing at the time," Florence manager Jamie Keefe said of last year.
This year, Keefe is hopeful the Freedom will contend for the Frontier League championship, however, he knows the team will have its hands full.

Herald Sun
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"You always were a bit soft, Bolt..."
The Herald Sun is a newspaper based in Melbourne, Australia, usually referred to as The Herald Scum due to the nature of its content and readership. Even the newspaper's readership itself refers to The Herald Sun by its commonly used colloquial name, as Herald Sun readers are incapable of questioning the status quo.
No literate person would be seen dead with a copy of The Herald Sun, but in the event that one ill-advisedly purchases a copy, do not allow the newspaper to come into contact with one's bare skin, as a chip will sprout on one's shoulder within three days if the publication contains an article authored by Jill Singer.
edit History
edit Origins
The Herald Sun newspaper was formed in 1990 by News Corp. The newspaper's printing presses were built in the Toorak home of Herald Sun journalist Andrew Bolt, as he had huge quantities of paper stored there. This was the list of names of Aboriginal children removed from their families (as part of the Stolen Generation) presented to Bolt by Robert Manne, Professor of Politics at La Trobe University, when Bolt challenged him to "name just ten" children removed "for purely racist reasons". The newspaper's presses are situated in Bolt's home to this day, as the stockpile of paper has still not run out.
edit Recent operation
Despite the paper being held in low regard, it is currently the highest-circulating daily newspaper in Australia, with a weekday circulation of 515,000 and readership of 1,500,000. This is due to the fact that when three of the paper's sheets are each crumpled a little and then layered together, their texture very closely resembles that of Quilton 3-ply toilet paper; "The best a bum can buy". Homeless people cannot afford this brand of toilet paper, despite what the product's motto possibly implies, but they can afford a copy of The Herald Sun each week.
edit Weekly native Australian fauna specials
Like all Australian newspapers, The Herald Sun is noted- but more often mocked- for its weekly special issues that focus on a particular native Australian animal. A recurring theme is crocodiles, or "crocs" (as distinct from the footwear, which is ever so slightly safer to insert your feet into).
edit Extracts
The following are extracts from The Herald Sun (not really).
edit 'Warne case dropped'
| All-round top bloke Shane Warne is no longer facing legal action over an alleged incident with a cyclist on the road.
Michael Hardy, 29, unmarried, probably gay, probably a Greens voter, launched a civil dispute in an attempt to get Warne to pay him damages, with the repair bill for his la-di-da hi-tech bicycle coming in at $1050. $1050? I could buy a shitload of kangaroo steak for that amount of dosh. And pay a foreign person to cook it for me with the remainder.
Warne never paid damages (quite right if you ask me; he didn't owe that tailgater a cent) because Hardy, when attempting to launch the case in what was most likely a hilariously effeminate fashion, lost his balance, dropped the case and broke it, rendering it invalid in Australian courts...
edit 'Carpet can be a real killer'
|Okay, well, not really; not in the sense that it can actually kill you, but definitely in a vague sense that warrants the use of a sensationalistic title like 'Carpet can be a real killer'. Yeah. Are you concerned now? Are you actually reading this? Still? Oh. Enjoying your read, aren't you? This is a good paper. It's printed on good pap- no, that wasn't an invitation to wipe your arse with it!
edit 'Our piss-ant society (youse can all go get stuffed)'
| Has society become so piss-weak that we're causing these bloody "allergies" that the kids are getting nowadays? You bet it has, sonny Jim! Nobody got these pussy "allergies" when I was young.
Why, back in my day, if some lanky little nancy-boy told me and my mates they couldn't eat my dear mother's peanut brittle because of an "allergy", we'd shove some right down their throat, we would. Then we'd hold him down, touch his penis and call him girls' names.
Yep- nobody got "allergies" back then.

Promise Pegasus J2 Review: The Smallest High Performance Thunderbolt Driveby Anand Lal Shimpi on 9/2/2012 1:00 PM EST

nealibob - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkI'll take an empty one for $100 Reply
ammar.m - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkit's ridiculous how insane the prices on all these thunderbolt drives are. why can't they make a regular 320GB/500GB external drive using thunderbolt and give us blazing speeds for 150$? because if they can't do that then this technology is next to useless. Show me how many people would prefer to purchase a 8TB drive over a regular 500GB one
A macbook(where thunderbolt is commonly found) is a consumer based laptop, NOT something you'd expect a budding business to purchase for its employees. so why do drives that cost more than the freakin laptop itself continue to popup? who buys these? I would love to see some sales figures on this. Reply
Zak - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkThe prices indeed need to come down or TB will be a failure. But I hope this won't be another FireWire 800 since Intel is behind this. Once the interface is on every OEM PC and every mobo the tech ought to become affordable. Reply
dsumanik - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkFail Fail Fail
Fail 1: Two Cables
Intel created thunderbolt to provide a high bandwidth link for display, peripherals, and storage on a single cable. Why create a product which defeats the intended design spec to begin with? Management should have caught this one, its simply a facepalm, find a SSD that can work in the power envelope and design a passive chassis that doesnt require a fan?
Fail 2: Crap controller in a shiny box.
Two junk SSD in raid 0. What could possibly go wrong?
Nuff Said.
Fail 3 : Unseemly, greedy and outrageous price markup.
Yet another company trying to cash in on the Apple design mentality, make it metal, shiny and well constructed...fill it with the same generic parts as everyone else and then up the price tag 250%.\
Where The *uck is my plain jane, sub 50$ empty and BUS powered external aluminum TB chassis.
Please, nobody buy this...teach them a costly lesson. Reply
inplainview - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkI can afford it easily but I won't. The price is crazy, Reply
jwcalla - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkThrow me in the ring as a bit of a doubter myself. If it's going to be pushed as primarily an interface for peripherals, I have to say "meh" for now, considering the cost. Just use eSATA for something like external disks.
Give me something like 10 GbE over TB, and my ears perk up. That seems like something of value. I don't think we'll see Intel go there though.
The whole spec seems kinda proprietary and locked down. Reply
Pneumothorax - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkAgreed, Intel/Apple's decisions are going to either kill this standard or relegate it to a firewire niche. Their decision to restrict to Apple use only for the 1st year along with their stupid nanny policy of 'You have to certify with us first before we'll let you release it' have really slowed adoption down. Latest dumb move is when they didn't allow mobo manufacturers to devise a discrete GPU thunderbolt pass-through interface. Reply
Samus - Tuesday, September 04, 2012 - linkwhat's ridiculous is all the retired baby boomers blowing their social security income and pensions on this overpriced tech to match their overpriced apple crap Reply
tech6 - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - linkThe problem with the J2 is that a normal SSD for less than $1/Gb is plenty fast enough for even the most I/O intensive work. The marginal value of this Thunderbolt/RAID-0 setup is questionable - particularly if is comes in at $3/Gb. Reply
MadMan007 - Sunday, September 02, 2012 - link"Two are beneath two of the rubber feat"
Pesky spellcheck! Reply
macuser2134 - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkClearly the manufacturer wanted to make some high margins here. But until the industry as a whole can wake up to tackling the problem, its pointless. I honestly can't agree with Anand that custom form factor SSDs are the way to go. Just look at all the expense to the consumer with Apple ones. There is no competition there. It should be clear to everyone that we need a standardized form factor, not a custom one.
Of course the SATA alliance gave us the mSATA form factor. Which would be absolutely perfect except its just prohibitively too short. Add merely 20-30mm of card length to mSATA and it can fit double the capacity (8 NAND packages instead of 4). Or extend again to have what is essentially a Macbook Air gumstick form factor. However with a standardized mSATA connector then it would be trivial to make a single card slot which can accept any of those 3 possible card lengths. So entirely backwards-compatible. You might call that an informal extension of the standard. If you will. But its entirely feasible and rational.
Consumers need to have an open market like the 2.5" SSD market is today. Because the 2.5" form factor is no longer an ideal size for SSDs, as was designed for mechanical drives. Too wasteful of the space inside newer notebooks - really "ultrabooks". And perhaps short-sighted of Intel not to do anything about this in their "ultrabook" campaign. Until that problem is addressed we will continue to be offered a variety of sub-standard, not very cost effective, and not very upgradeable products just like this one.
At the moment. For the price of these types of enclosure, most people would be better off buying a pair of 2.5" 512Gb SSDs and installing them into notebook w/optibay. Then RAID'ing the drives themselves (no difference to this thing). No messy bus power AC adaptor or expensive Thunderbolt interfaces required. Twice the capacity, better performance. Reply
Icehawk - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkI don't know why someone would say this is a good enclosure - first, the shape is terrible - how can I stack anything on top of it? Second, it looks downright huge in the photo on top of the R6 - with mSata this thing should be about the size of a 2.5" or maybe 3.5" drive. Third, it needs a fan? Oy. Make the darn thing all aluminum and have it act as a heatsink if it needs it. Reply
philipma1957 - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkI have owned and tested and run
lacie little big disks
promise pegasus
sonnet t-bolt express card adapter
seagate t-bolt adapter.
to run a 2 drive 512gb raid0 it will need the external power. this kills it usefulness.
also the i/o will not be faster. a fan is nuts. it will whine like a female dog.
a 1 drive 256 gb msata with no fan and a good heatsink would have been the way to go.
It could have been smaller then a 2.5 inch drive.
since crucial sells the mSata 256gb ssd for about 225.
you could have this for under 400.
it is fully bootable and with mac you can bring it from machine to machine as its osx.
both a good and bad idea good for connivence bad for security.
right for my money a lacie little big disk is under 240 refurbished from a major mac seller. buy it pull the fan pull the two 500 gb drives sell the drives used on ebay for 85-110 brings your little big disk down to 135. put in 2x 512gb crucial m4's and a 1tb ssd for under 900 or use 2x 256gb ssds and a 512b ssd for under 500 Reply
InspiredCarpet - Monday, September 03, 2012 - linkHow can something be "extremely unique"? It's either unique or it's not. You can't have differing scales of unique.

phillyry - Tuesday, September 04, 2012 - linki think tb ssd's are a good idea and agree with anand re: the form factor and design.
of course we'd all like to see the price lower but these things take time. new tech is always expensive. it's called the "either pay a hefty premium to be the first or wait a year or two" game.
like he said, the idea is good. it'll just take a little time for the tech to mature. as a mba user, i could def see the utility in such a product for imovie projects but will personally be waiting until it's avail in 512gb and cheaper.
good concept but just takes time. Reply
CalaverasGrande - Tuesday, September 04, 2012 - linkWhere are you seeing a price for this box that you guys "won't buy because of the insane price". Aren't you being premature?
"Promise also isn't releasing any pricing information today, but rest assured that the Pegasus J2 will be expensive."
I think I'll bite my tongue until actual prices are announced. Reply
philipma1957 - Wednesday, September 05, 2012 - linkwill I can build a 512gb lacie little big disk raid0 ssd for under 500.. 2x crucial 256gb ssds on sale for 180 each is 360. A refurbhshed lacie littleb big disk is 234. comes to 594. I sell the mechanical hdds on ebay for 100 and my cost is 494. if promise sells there 512gb unit for 494 I will eat my hat. By the way my ssds would have 3 year warranty so only part not warrantied is the little big disk which was under 140 in cost..
I have 3 of these in use for months as osx for mac they are pretty much flawless.. They are also a security risk to any mac user that has thunderbolt as I can plug in and boot there computer and copy the hdd in there computer. BTW this portable boot box is the biggest reason thunderbolt is held back. Think about what you can do with it. Reply
likethesky - Saturday, September 08, 2012 - linkWhy go TB, when USB 3.0 is just about as fast? Or am I wrong about that for SSDs? Reply
Zds - Sunday, September 09, 2012 - linkUSB 3.0 is 5Gbps, TB is 8Gbps - and this device uses all that on sequential reads, hitting 770MB/s. Reply
repoman27 - Tuesday, September 11, 2012 - linkWell, SuperSpeed USB is 5 Gbps with 8b/10b encoding, so really only 4 Gbps, and realistically tops out at 400 MB/s due to protocol overhead. If you're using USB 3.0 drivers and/or hardware that only support standard Bulk Only Transfer mode, throughput will be considerably less than that.
Thunderbolt is 2x 10.3125 Gbps channels per port with 64b/66b encoding which brings them down to 10 Gbps. While most Thunderbolt controllers have a PCIe 2.0 x4 back end, the Port Ridge controller used in this device only provides a single 10 Gbps Thunderbolt channel paired with a PCIe 2.0 x2 connection.
A PCIe 2.0 lane is 5 Gbps but also uses 8b/10b and has its own protocol overhead, which in practice results in throughput of about 400 MB/s, although better results can be achieved with larger TLP payload sizes.
So any Port Ridge based Thunderbolt device would be limited to around 800 MB/s, which is exactly what we see here.
There's one more element to the equation though, and that's the SATA controller. Most USB 3.0 to SATA bridges on the market at the moment only support SATA 3Gb/s, which limits them to less than 300 MB/s (8b/10b strikes again). Meanwhile, most SATA 6Gb/s controllers used in Thunderbolt devices only have a PCIe 2.0 x1 connection which drags them down to 400 MB/s. Which makes me confused about the Pegasus J2's performance, because that's what we would expect from a single ASM1061 controller. I'm guessing there's a second one on that board somewhere. Reply
Zds - Sunday, September 09, 2012 - linkWhat are the dimensions of the device? It feels strange to applaud the small size, but not tell _how_ small exactly it is.. Reply

Available in the professional marching range are 16" 18", and 20" tonally matched cymbal pairs made from either B12 or B10 bronze in medium weight and hammered into shape in the company's German cymbal facility. Professional marching cymbals made from B12 bronze feature an overall dark tonality with smooth and warm overtones for optimal resonance with a wide sound spectrum and quick decay. Professional marching cymbals made from B10 bronze have a brighter sonic character with a loud and clear attack.
The student range features tonally matched cymbals pairs in 14" and 16" diameters, made from bronze or brass for the ambitious beginning marching drummer. Bright, cutting sounds with a fast and clean response and controlled feel.
