The Central Connecticut football team fell to Sacred Heart on Saturday afternoon by a score of 59-36. The Blue Devils (2-5, 1-1 NEC) and Pioneers (6-1, 1-1 NEC) played an exciting game, which featured several long scoring plays.
Sophomore quarterback Nick SanGiacomo passed for a career-high 363 yards and fell just short of Keith Toolan's school record of 377 set in 1997. SanGiacomo was 21-of-38 for two touchdowns in the game, but he also threw three interceptions.
Junior running back Rob Hollomon rushed for 130 yards on 24 carries and scored two touchdowns. Hollomon also caught a touchdown pass in the game. Hollomon now has 11 touchdowns on the season with 10 coming on the ground.
Junior running back Darius Lee saw extensive action in the second half and rushed for a career-high 91 yards on 21 carries. Lee scored a touchdown in the third quarter, it was his first score of the season.
Junior wide receiver Tyrell Holmes caught six passes for 143 yards and a touchdown. For the second consecutive week he had a receiving touchdown of 60+ yards. His 64-yard catch and run came in the third quarter and answered a Sacred Heart touchdown drive.
Sacred Heart used less than four minutes to score on their opening drive of the game, but CCSU answered with a touchdown drive in 2:25.
The CCSU scoring drive was set up by a 49 yard kickoff return by Hollomon. Hollomon followed by capping the drive with a touchdown catch.
The Pioneers scored the next 21 points to take a 28-6 lead, CCSU missed the extra point on its opening touchdown, with 12:49 left in the second quarter.
Over the next eight minutes, CCSU controlled the ball and pushed in a pair of rushing touchdowns by Hollomon.
However, Sacred Heart scored the final points of the half on a Chris Rogers field goal. The Pioneers took a 31-19 lead into the half.
Sacred Heart opened the third quarter by forcing a CCSU turnover and the Pioneer's quickly capitalized with a 72-yard touchdown pass on their third play of the drive.
CCSU answered with a drive and a touchdown, Lee's first score of the season, to make it a 38-26 game, but Sacred Heart scored again just one minute and 15 seconds later.
SanGiacomo found Holmes for a 64-yard passing touchdown to make it 45-33, but two straight Sacred Heart scores ended CCSU's comeback hopes.
Junior Steve Calitri connected on a 27-yard field goal with 1:02 left in the game to set the final score at 59-36.
RJ Noel threw for 297 yards and four touchdowns, while Keshaudas Spence rushed 23 times for 211 yards and two scores. Spence averaged 9.2 yards per carry.
Senior Antwoine Reese had nine tackles for the CCSU defense.
CCSU posted a season-high 583 yards of total offense, compared to only 522 for Sacred Heart, but the Pioneers capitalized on a 4-1 edge in turnovers.
The Blue Devils return to action in two weeks at Arute Field against Salve Regina. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Things are easy when you're GOOG
Yeah my first reactions was that this is a lot like Les Paul telling people that playing guitar is easy.
Some years ago, Eddie Van Halen said that guitar playing "is not as hard as brain surgery"
Sometime later, he got an offer from a brain surgeon to trade some guitar lessons for some brain surgery lessons
I wouldn't call something that take 18 months to do "easy".
Maybe that's why I don't work at google
In a company of 10,000+ employees, it took a 'small team' only 18 months to convert and test what took 11 years to build? I think that's pretty good.
It may be "pretty good", hey it may be great. But if they're saying that it's easy enough for anyone to do, that's jsut not the case. At 20% of 18 months, that's almost 4 months of solid labour. If you told me that my business needed to take 4 months to do something, I'd tell you it had better be revenue-generating.
Google is NOT huge, and it is very young.
To get a real corporation on IPv6 will takes years of constant work, and even then you'll still have legacy systems hooked up to analog lines doing whatever it is they do on their data/fax modems.
The reality is there are TONS of legacy systems out there that can NOT be replaced with any currently available "solutions".
That's BS. They CAN be replaced but people are simply inflexible and corporations in particular get very scared of change when it comes to IS/IT. Software in 2009 can do anything software in 1979 could do, only better. Your analog modems are legacy equipment and they are there to support the PEOPLE who insist upon them - there ARE better solutions than merely kludging legacy support into every possible corporate upgrade. Ditch the old, get better stuff!
For example, a fully functional legacy PC system with analog serial ports etc. could be implemented entirely in software including an analog modem that handles DSP via the host, and the phone line via VoIP, and then virtualized on a server somewhere, and the physical legacy analog crap could be tossed out. But humans (i.e. workers familiar with the legacy system, as well as upper management) will NOT just jump on board to ideas like this without a lot of resistance. That doesn't mean they aren't do-able. The above example is still implementing the legacy solution, but not using legacy hardware. There is probably a much more elegant (albeit completely hypothetical as per this discussion) solution that ignores the legacy equipment, and if the corporation as a whole switched over to the new solution en masse, there would be no need for the legacy system.
The block is ALWAYS people when it comes to implementing technological upgrades within corporations. It's rarely the technology. Technology is easy to replace/toss out and re-implement. People are much harder to organize and manage than technology.
Oh... and is Google not a "real corporation" now? I am surprised by that statement. They are definitely young relative to corporations from the 18th century that may still exist, but they are not new kids on the block in their field. In addition, I would suspect their network and their tech footprint greatly exceeds that of the average "real corporation", and encompasses a lot more than what a company who doesn't specialize in online information indexing / data mining would need.
There are sometimes compatibility issues with moving to something new.
I've spoken to one company who uses windows 98 machines, because their inventory system is on legacy software that requires windows 98, and the company who made that software went tits up. Since the software uses a proprietary binary format, its beyond the means of the company to switch to something new, even though there are affordable, and better, options.
This incidentally, is my biggest reason to push for FOSS, or at the least open standards, in the workplace, if you don't control the code, you can get royally screwed, either from a company going under, or declaring that your updates now cost 3 grand a license, even MS has dropped support for a format they created a time or two.
Speaking as a geek myself, I would just like to point out that a common mistake we geeks make is factoring out the human factors problem. "If only everyone were reasonable" is not a good grounding assumption.
Another point, which is really more relevant to what you've said, is that it's not always cheaper to upgrade. A legacy app that works well and does not need enhancements may be safer and more secure than a new app that replaces it, despite great effort to make the new app safe and secure. This is n
If you told me that my business needed to take 4 months to do something, I'd tell you it had better be revenue-generating.
If you're Google, and you're thinking long term (something severely lacking with many people), it is revenue generating...especially if they're in the forefront of providing support for the technology.
If you told me that my business needed to take 4 months to do something, I'd tell you it had better be revenue-generating.
That's the big problem with the IPv6 transition.
Regardless of how easy or necessary it may (or may not) be, it isn't going to generate a whole lot of revenue right now. Maybe for a web-based company like Google it might actually get them some revenue... But for your average business that just uses their network to email, browse the web, transfer some files, etc... It'll take some money and some labor, but won't really get you anything in return.
It's hard to pitch something like that to management.
It should also take a lot less time and fewer resources for companies smaller than Google--or at least, with a smaller web presence.
That's the rub, though. Companies with a large web presence have more incentive to enable IPV6. Companies that aren't technologically-oriented will be easier to migrate, but will be less likely to do so soon. It parallels the emergence of the web, to some degree.
That's a big falacy. Google has all of it's stuff in one place, and with the scale and redundancy to maintain it all without taknig things down. I'm a small web company. I have more "products" than google, and more distinct clients than google. For me to upgrade some software, I need to talk to every client that uses it, I need to convince them to buy new hardware or adjust their existing hardware. I need to teach them how. I need to convince them that it's beneficial in the first place. Then I need to change dozens of projects being used by nearly one hundred clients without taking anything down.
Every one of my clients says the same thing: "I'm running a business here. I don't have time to redo things that work.".
So when ipv4 stops working, then I'll be able to convince them. Same goes for me, by the way. I have nothing to gain by switching to a new protocol. The old one works fine.
Everything is easy for a team of PhDs that has free time on their hands.
Spoken like someone without a PhD. What you say is true only where the value of 'everything' is defined as 'procrastination'.
And if anyone on the team has TWO PhDs, then even procrastination becomes mind-bogglingly difficult.
Bah, if Google had done it right in the first place, it'd have taken one guy updating a couple/few libraries!
How big is Google's network compared to most companies?
And also consider the people doing this weren't working on it full time and were a relatively small team.
The hardest part of deploying IPv6 is actually getting IPv6 network transit... Very few ISPs will offer it, or charge a high premium for it ontop of their ipv4 charges such that it isn't worth the expense.

Erm... Epic?

Well there's your problem right there.
It's not that it's hard, it's that people would punish you if you tried.
Every IPv6 prefix you add to your FIB is four times as expensive as an IPv4 prefix.
Google engineers worked on the IPv6 effort as a 20% project -- meaning it was in addition to their regular work -- from July 2007 until January 2009.
Google allows it's employees to use 20% of their WORK DAY for personal projects. So technically this wasn't "extra" work.
Google allows it's employees to use 20% of their WORK DAY for personal projects.
But that's the 20% that the rest of us spend drunk. Bad deal, evil Google!
Despite being an elegant and technologically sound solution, I think IPv6 will be adopted universally within a few years.
The best part is that it's never out of date!
'The year of IPv6 on the network'
What about convincing many corporate users who have come to believe over the years that private IPv4 NATed networks are an essential part of their security?
Already taken care of.
Private Addresses in IPv6 [wikipedia.org]
You don't need that most of the time (everything on the network segment has an fe80:: address anyway), only to proxy or NAT the outgoing connections. IIRC the ipv6 NAT solutions that exist are basically 1:1 rather than 1:M so they're not equivalent.
NAT (or more correctly in most cases PAT) is not a security feature.
More pushback comes from security-mastar types, who've been trained in an IPv4-only world. IPv6 forces them to do two things they hate doing: a) properly secure perimeter devices, and b) ensure that each host is secure.
A lot of it, of course, stems from the Win9x/NT4/2k days, when outbreaks on internal networks caused major business disruptions.
It's very easy to do. Most if not all servers are currently IPv6 compatible and most of the software has this type of stuff abstracted away by the operating system.
Then all you need to do is ask your provider for an IPv6 range and put some records in your DNS, enable your clients for IPv6, tell your routers that they'll from now on see IPv6 addresses as well (usually already in the firmware or it's in an upgrade somewhere) let your DHCP server give out IPv6 addresses and then you're done. Add an IPv4 to IPv6 gateway if your provider doesn't support IPv6 yet.
This all can be done in several steps and IPv4 can keep chugging at the same time as well so there is practically no downtime to the systems. It's the same as adding an IPv4 range to your network (if you ever run out of space in your range) except that there are more digits and that some of your older hardware needs a small upgrade.
The problem is that it requires manpower to do so which isn't cheap. In an organization like Google it takes a group a while at 20% of their time. In many organizations, those groups are 1) not as competent, 2) don't have 10% of free time, let alone 20%, 3) this has to be justified as far as manpower costs go.
When talking about Windows server, which in most businesses is Operating system your talking about, only 2008 is IPv6 100%. 2003 is not 100% IPv6 and some stuff must be done either via config files or command line. Not that this is bad thing but when your looking at GUI Console, you don't see IPv6 information which could lead to confusion. Easy example is that 2003/XP look up AAAA DNS records over IPv4 instead of IPv6. Also, Active Directory over IPv6 is not supported as well. Vista and Windows 7 support IP
most of the software has this type of stuff abstracted away by the operating system
The OS doesn't abstract IPV6. The application has to use the proper APIs to support IPV6 directly. For example, it cannot assume sockaddr is ipv4 only, and ultimately support both ipv4 and ipv6. It's never that easy.
Define 'small team' - 5 people? 200? What's a 'small team' at Google?
The fact that Google makes such a big deal about only hiring the best and brightest and PhDs and such also indicates this isn't 'easy'. If it took a team of people who are regarded to be the best and brightest in their industry, with numerous PhDs on the team (or at least at their disposal on campus) *18 months* to do something (even part time) that still means that this is going to be a bigger issue for most companies.
Consider that the bulk of Google's apps that would need to be 'converted' have been written in the past 3-4 years (docs, maps, earth, etc.), and likely were written by people who put modularity and efficiency much higher than the average developer does (or is allowed to, in many cases) and you'll conclude that average developers who've inherited undocumented legacy code from previous average developers will have a much harder time than expected.
The core problem (as someone else pointed out) is consumer-level adoption - ISPs, routers, etc. It's somewhat chicken and egg, and perhaps having Google announce 100% support for it, this will give other players in the field the encouragement to put more effort in to transitioning over.
Lastly, why didn't Google (of all companies) bake IPv6 in to these main apps when they were first written?
Perhaps the best and brightest spent 18 months of extra time on the massage table and drinking smoothies.
Then recently edited the
Lastly, why didn't Google (of all companies) bake IPv6 in to these main apps when they were first written?
Because, just as you said, Google hires the best. These guys needed a challenge. They gave themselves one.
(I'm kidding.)
The core problem is ISPs getting off their duffs to support IPv6. I'm ready for it at home (save for an old cable modem), but my ISP doesn't yet support DOCSIS 3.0 and IPv6, and this is a common problem.
On Ubuntu (so presumably Debian too) I just did
aptitude install miredo
invoke-rc.d miredo start
Then it just worked:
$ ping6 ipv6.google.com
PING ipv6.google.com(2001:4860:a003::68) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:4860:a003::68: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=37.8 ms
wget -6 http://ipv6.google.com/ [google.com]
Call me when Google uses a "small team" to convert a couple of hundred undocumented or poorly documented apps written in C and running on an old system like VMS since the mid-80s. Then I'll still have concerns about the business case during an economic downturn.

I bet most other company networks don't look like Google's (for better or worse),
'small team' generally doesn't go over about 5 people. You simply can't - as a team gets larger it gets less efficient. This is true even for google.

Does anyone have a list of current networking hardware that is IPv6 ready? Specifically I am interested in any gateway/routers that support IPv6 out of the box, in the sub-$200 category.
I know about DD-WRT, but I don't want to have spend time hacking my router.
No joke. It's just a firmware upload.
No joke. It's just a firmware upload.
And making sure your router can support a third-party firmware.
He'll spend the same amount of time updating the firmware on whatever he buys. Whether he updates it to alternative router firmware, or official firmware, it still (likely) has to be updated from whatever it shipped with.
Last time I checked the only one that supported it out of the box was Apple's Airport Extreme.
I've heard "the usual suspects" (Linksys, Dlink, Netgear) have added it since then, but I haven't been looking to confirm that, and I'm not sure if it ships enabled or not.
The best one I've seen so far is the Apple Airport extreme, offers easy tunneling service also if you don't have native IPv6 yet.
Apple's Airport Extreme supports IPv6 beautifully.
There's nothing you can do right now to automatically "switch on" IPv6 across your whole Internet-connected network. There is effort involved because practically nothing supports it out of the box. (Read the zillion chick-and-egg comments in this and every other IPv6 article.) If using IPv6 were easy right now, this Slashdot article--and all of the other ones before it--wouldn't exist.
Does anyone have a list of current networking hardware that is IPv6 ready? Specifically I am interested in any gateway/routers that support IPv6 out of the box, in the sub-$200 category.
It depends upon what you mean by "supports IPv6". That can everything from supporting the protocol to working well with existing consumer OS's and tunneling IPv6 if your ISP is not supporting it. Also, you should look at what features are supported by IPv6, like does using it bypass your router's firewall?
The most practical I've seen are OpenWRT routers and Airport Extremes.
This made me laugh. From TFA:
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and can support approximately 4.3 billion individually addressed devices on the Internet. IPv6, on the other hand, uses 128-bit addresses and can support so many devices that only a mathematical expression -- 2 to the 128th power -- can quantify its size.
Can you give us those numbers in terms that are in common usaage? Like LOC (Libraries of Congress), GB (Golf Balls), DTM (Distance to moon)
Can you give us those numbers in terms that are in common usaage? Like LOC (Libraries of Congress), GB (Golf Balls), DTM (Distance to moon)
OK, 2^128=3.40e38 approximately.
For comparison, 1e26 is approximately the number of Angstroms in a light year. The observable universe is about 1.4e10 light years in size. So the size of the observable universe is about 1.4e36 Angstroms. The number of IPv6 addresses is about 240 times bigger.
"IPv6, on the other hand, uses 128-bit addresses and can support so many devices that only a mathematical expression -- 2 to the 128th power -- can quantify its size."
Except that in the standard IPv6 addressing scheme, we immediately throw away 64 of those bits and use them as host identifier. Then we divide the rest heirarchically up into networks, each division of which can leak addresses. We probably won't be seeing a lot of 2-bit subnets for point-to-point links, as we have now in 32-bit CIDR; they'll g

Researchers have uncovered why some dietary fats, specifically long-chain fats, such as oleic acid (found in olive oil), are more prone to induce inflammation. Long-chain fats, it turns out, promote increased intestinal absorption of pro-inflammatory bacterial molecules called lipopolysaccharides (LPS). This study appears in the January issue of JLR.
While dietary fats that have short chains (such as those found in milk and cheese products) can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the intestines, long-chain fats need to be first packaged by the intestinal cells into particles known as chylomicrons (large complexes similar to HDL and LDL particles). Erik Eckhardt and colleagues at the University of Kentucky wondered whether some unwanted LPS particles, routinely shed by the bacteria that inhabit the human gut, might also be sneaking in the chylomicrons.
Their hypothesis turned out to be correct; when they treated cultured human intestinal cells with oleic acid they observed significant secretion of LPS together with the chylomicron particles, a phenomenon that was not observed when the cells were treated with short-chain butyric acid. Similar findings were found in mouse studies; high amounts of dietary oleic acid, but not butyric acid, promoted significant absorption of LPS into the blood and lymph nodes and subsequent expression of inflammatory genes.
Eckhardt and colleagues believe these findings may pave the way for future therapies for Crohn's disease and other inflammatory bowel disorders. In addition, they note that this study once again highlights the importance of the diverse bacteria that call our intestines home.

Former defence secretary Liam Fox today challenged David Cameron to take on his Liberal Democrat coalition partners and push through reforms making it easier for employers to fire and hire staff.
His comments come as Tories agonise over fears the government is perceived as anti-business, and George Osborne mulls over his 2012 Budget, due on the 21st of March.
In his first major television interview since he was forced to quit the Cabinet four months ago, Dr Fox said the Prime Minister needed to remember Tory MPs made up the majority of the coalition and they wanted to see their agenda implemented in full.
However he was very coy about whether he might make a return to frontline politics.
Fox warned that unless Mr Cameron was prepared to override the Lib Dems over the issue of labour market reforms, he would be consigning Britain to a future of "managed decline".
"The objections inside government and outside government - but, yes, including some of the arguments put forward by our coalition partners - they need to be taken on and overridden otherwise we become about managed decline for Britain," he told BBC1's Sunday Politics.
"The whole Government needs to understand the importance of this. This case is vital to our national economic survival."
Dr Fox said Mr Cameron needed to reassure his own political base that he understood their concerns in the face of "a great deal of public lobbying" by the Lib Dems for their agenda.
"The Lib Dems have certainly been quite vocal in saying what they want. I don't think it is necessarily the best way to be running a coalition," he said.
"Certainly amongst Conservative activists there is the perception that the Liberal Democrats are far more free to voice what they want than some of the Conservatives are.
"The Conservatives, who make up five-sixths of the coalition - not half the coalition - need to be also reassured that the Conservative agenda is being fully implemented."
Although the proposals to reform employment laws were outlined by Lib Dem business secretary Vince Cable, many of his party's backbenchers are uneasy about the planned changes.
Lib Dem deputy leader Simon Hughes made clear that his party would not be silenced and would continue to fight their corner in the coalition.
"We are a coalition. Why? Because no party had a majority at the last election," he told the Sunday Politics. "The Liberal Democrats are entitled to put their case to the country and we do that."
He said the priority in the Budget should be to raise personal tax allowances, in line with the coalition agreement.
"We are determined that the ordinary households get a better deal and are paying less tax so they have more to spend," he said.
"We want the normal family, the millions of people - not the few people with high incomes - to have more in their pockets. That is why we are making the case to go further and faster lifting the personal allowance up to £10,000.
"I don't think reducing the top rate is the right thing to do now."

Adenekan, a 6'9", 235-pound forward, comes from the same junior college that produced current SU Redhawks Tidjane Diop and Allen Tate.
He came to the United States after graduating from Brampton Manor Academy in London, United Kingdom.
"It's an exciting time for me, my coaching staff, and my family back home," said Adenekan about his decision. "This is something I have dreamed about before coming to the states."
His decision came down to Seattle University and University of Detroit. He also had offers from Stephen F. Austin, Cal-State Fullerton, and the University of Idaho and interest from Oklahoma, San Jose State, Austin Peay, Pepperdine, and several other schools.
"I really felt comfortable with the school, the city, and of course the coaching staff," Adenekan said of his decision. "It's an up and coming program."
"We are thrilled Shore has decided to join our family," said Seattle University head men's basketball coach Cameron Dollar on the school's website. "He is a strong, physical low post player that is skilled inside and out."
LCC head coach Adam Schwartz feels that Seattle University will be a good fit for Adenekan.
"Shore had some great schools to choose from but he felt more comfortable with SU," said Schwartz. "They have a great program and Seattle is a great city. Coach Dollar is a young and up and coming coach. He was a really good player at UCLA and he's got a national championship there. When it is all said and done, I feel Shore has a chance to play in a couple of NCAA tournaments at SU."
During the 2011-12 season, Adenekan averaged 9.5 points and 7.9 rebounds in 29 games. He shot 59 percent from the field and 52 percent from the charity stripe.
In three games this season, he is averaging 15.3 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 60 percent from the field and 66 percent from the free throw line.
In a game against Frank Phillips College this season (Nov. 7), Adenekan hit 9-of-13 shots from the field and 8-of-9 attempts from the free throw line for a 26-point and six-rebound effort.
"Shore has really come a long way," praised Schwartz. "We feel like he returns as one of the more dominant interior players in Region IX and maybe in all of junior college. He's improving every day and has a great work ethic. Shore is very coachable and a great teammate. I think his best basketball is ahead of him."
Adenekan will have two years of eligibility remaining when he begins his time at Seattle University next year.
He will join current freshman Jack Crook as a native of the United Kingdom to be on the Redhawk roster. The Seattle University Redhawks are members of the NCAA Division 1 Western Athletic Conference.
"Not only are our players here to win games, but move on to the highest level possible and to the level where they can be most successful at," said Schwartz. "Hopefully, Shore is the first of quite a few guys that sign this year."

I made an Infographic about Yarn Bombing!
I made this infograph at infogr.am
I thought seeing how much I had accomplished in a certain amount of time would be really interesting to see. And it was! It was also fun to go back through my blog and count all the yarn bombs. I had to estimate, as some of the yarn bombs I have done I have not photographed and others come in multiple parts, so do you count them individually or as a whole? Not to mention, some of the yarn bombs I have done count only as one, but they were months and months of hard work and hours spent on them.
So really, this graphic doesn't tell you a lot. Then again, that's what this blog is for tho; to tell you about all the yarn bombs this graph sums up in numbers with pictures and words.
I hope this interested you, and maybe you'll wanna go back and look at all my yarnbombs too.
at 6:50 PM
1 comment:
we would be happy to look at your proposal for the integrate arts festival! spread the word as well, we want to find unique (guerilla) artists like yourself.

RUMOR: Andre Leon Talley Out at 'Vogue'
(Getty Images) Andre Leon Talley at the fall 2013 Marc Jacobs show
After nearly 30 years at the right hand of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, Andre Leon Talley, the fashion bible's inimitable Editor-at-Large-slash-Contributing-Editor, is rumored to be leaving the publication.
A report in the New York Post's "Page Six" gossip column cites sources that claim Talley's longstanding television ambitions have left a sour taste in Wintour's mouth—the icy editrix has long been suspicious of the medium and, following Talley's star turn alongside Tyra Banks on America's Next Top Model a few seasons back, demoted the larger-than-life fashion personality from his plum Editor-at-Large position to Contributing Editor.
"The powers that be aren't huge fans of his television aspirations," a source told the newspaper, "and they want to sever all ties now."
Talley recently inked a development deal with NBC's Ben Silverman, Executive Producer of hit series including The Biggest Loser, The Office, and Mob Wives. Andre Leon Talley's upcoming television show speculated to be a blended talk-reality show centered around his relationships with people in the fashion industry and beyond.
Let's take a look at some of our favorite photos of Andre Leon Talley, who we always thought of as a bright spot in the otherwise rather serious world of Vogue. We're sure he will be sorely missed at Conde Nast.

If it is the old black guardpack you can put a resistor between common and the sensor 1, 2, or 3 that is bad. I believe that you can use a 1/2 watt 75 ohm resistor for either of the bad thermistors. If you do this at least you still have the oil protection and the two other thermistors in place to keep the unit operating safely.
As far as the bypassing I have seen bulletins from trane on the larger compressors saying that it is ok to bypass all three sensors.

Pennsylvania's season on one of the state's most popular fish (second only to trout) opened on Saturday, when both smallmouth and largemouth bass became legal quarry for the commonwealth's eager anglers. According to the folks at the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), the timing for the opening of bass season was pretty much perfect with summer here and the school year ending.
"Bass are always one of the most popular sportfish targeted by anglers," said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. "The weather's been nice and kids are about to go on summer break, so we know anglers are excited to get out and start the season."
The start of bass season also fell on Father's Day weekend, and Arway surmised this might have an impact on participation as well.
"I can't think of a better way for grandfathers and fathers to spend their weekend than outside fishing with their sons, daughters and grandkids," he said.
Hotspots for bass fishing here in Chester County include Marsh Creek Lake for largemouth and the Brandywine Creek for the somewhat feistier smallmouth. Hundreds of private ponds throughout the county also boast healthy populations of the traditional bluegill/bass warm water fishing combo. If you can gain access to one of these farm ponds, you may find yourself in bass fishing nirvana.
With my own backyard pond loaded with bluegills and largemouth, I get the opportunity to experiment with some of the vast choices bass anglers have when it comes to terminal tackle. In the past, my top two producers for bass have always been white spinnerbaits worked across the surface and pumpkinseed worms bounced off the bottom. My latest favorite is to rig a 4-inch Gary Yamamoto Yamasenko worm – Watermelon Red Magic or Watermelon Red and Green – with a Gamakatsu size 2 octopus hook impaled at mid-worm without any other weight. The first time I tossed this combination into my pond I instantly hooked up with the biggest bucketmouth in the neighborhood. It's been a steady producer ever since.
Meanwhile, the PFBC reminds anglers that "catch and immediate release" regulations apply to smallmouth and largemouth bass on the lower sections of the Susquehanna River (below Sunbury) and Juniata River (below Port Royal) and into the rivers' tributaries to points one-half river-mile upstream from the confluence. For more information about the smallmouth bass issue in the Susquehanna River, visit http://fishandboat.com/susq-impairment.htm.
The PFBC website has a host of information to help anglers plan their fishing trips. Visit www.fishandboat.com and select from the left navigation column "Fish" and "Fishing Fundamentals" to get started.
For more information about bass, visit http://fishandboat.com/bass.htm. For a guide to fishing regulations, visit www.fishinpa.com.
The opening of bass season also heralds a number of very popular tournament fishing events, two of which are on our immediate Chester County angling horizon:
Bass Tourney #1: West Chester Fish, Game, and Wildlife Association will be hosting a Bass Rodeo on Saturday, June 22, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. open to all children 15 and under. The event will take place at the pond at the Paradise Farms Camp and is free of charge and open to the public. Participants should register at the trout nursery. The event is catch and release only with barbless hooks required. Tackle and bait will not be provided but lunch will. Free fishing instruction will also be available.
Bass Tourney #2: The West Caln Sportsmen's Club will sponser a bass fishing tournament at Marsh Creek Lake on Saturday, June 29, from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The cost is $70 per boat with a $10 lunker fee. Boat check-in starts at 4:00 a.m. and will end at 5:00 a.m. at the Lyndell Ramp. Call Chris Grow at 610-384-2421 for more information or for a sign-up application.

Greek for 'self-emptying' and used by Paul in Phil. 2: 7 for Jesus' renunciation of the state of glory with the Father in order to share human life and death. The 'kenotic theory' of the incarnation proposed by several German Lutheran and English theologians (Charles Gore, P. T. Forsyth) was an attempt to combine an orthodox Christology with a recognition that Jesus' humanity shared the limitations of his age: divine omniscience was renounced; Jesus of course had no knowledge of biblical criticism, and for him Ps. 110 was assumed to be written by David (Mark 12: 36). Cf. Charles Wesley's hymn:
Our God contracted to a span
Incomprehensibility made man;
Emptied himself of all but love,
Emptied of his majesty.

It was the kind of day guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any American boy.
A sunny spring day, the grass green, the sky blue and the Aces were in town, playing Las Vegas.
And here was 93 year old Howard Hayes, enjoying it all.
Seventy three years ago, found Howard, then a cook second class aboard the Coast Guard cutter Roger B. Taney, moored in Honolulu Harbor as the attack on Pearl Harbor next door began. His battle station was manning a range finder on the bridge.
"We saw the planes come up over us and circled right over the power plant," he remembers. "When they did that we opened fire on them. And when we opened fire on them, they went back to the ocean. Four of the five went down."
Fast forward those 73 years and Howard, now the only surviving crew member of the Taney is enjoying the day at the ball park. He's joined by a number of old comrades, other Coast Guard combat vets, all attending an annual reunion.
Howard, who played shortstop in the service, was selected to represent them and his old ship mates by throwing out the first pitch.
He sat close in front of the home team dugout, a ball in his hand, waiting for his cue.
At 93, Howard looks to be in pretty good shape, perhaps game ready and word is he may be planning something special.
"I asked him if he was going to pitch underhand or overhand and he said 'I might even throw a spitball," says daughter Shirley Wetmore.
"A spitball. That's what he's talking about," agrees son Howard Jr.
"A spitball," laughs Howard, who grins and says little else.
Introduced to the crowd he strides to a spot most of the way to the mound, rares and fires. It's a one hopper, but it does reach the catcher.
"I dropped it is what I done," Howard says with some humor. "I lost it."
We'll call it a change up.
Hope you enjoyed the game Howard.
Thanks for your service,

Chris Wondolowski keeps scoring with extra 'w' as the U.S. comes from behind to beat Cuba
Up until eight days ago, Chris Wondolowski, who matched the MLS record for most goals in a single season with 27 last year, had never scored for the U.S. national team. In his 10th international appearance over two years, he finally broke his duck during a friendly against Guatemala just before the start of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. And yet that still wasn't enough for the United States' kitman to spell his name correctly on the back of his shirt. So for the USA's first Gold Cup group-stage match against Belize, Wondolowski was "Wondowlowski" and he scored three more goals in the first half before changing into a spellchecked shirt at halftime.
The Price is Right host and Seattle Sounders co-owner Drew Carey donated a total of $5,000 to two charities of Wondolowski's choosing (the Nike N7 Fund and Street Soccer USA) for the misspelled shirt. But against Cuba just four days later, the superstitious Wondolowski had the extra "w" printed on the inside of his jersey to try and keep his goal streak going.
With the USA in cruise control at the start of the match, Cuba opened the scoring in the 36th minute to take a surprising lead. A Landon Donovan penalty made it 1-1 just before halftime and in the 57th minute, Joe Corona put the USA up 2-1. Then it was Wondo time. In the 66th minute, Wondolowski scored with a volley from close range off an excellent pass from Kyle Beckerman (video above) and then finished it off with another in the 85th minute. After no goals in his first nine international appearances, Wondolowski now has six in his last three matches over the last eight days.
Of course, this avalanche of goals has come against inferior competition and at 30 years old, Wondolowski isn't exactly the future of the team, but hey — goals are goals and if he can help the team to their first Gold Cup title since 2007, it will be something to be proud of. Even if he did need an extra "w" to do it.
Here's Joe Corona scoring his first international goal at the senior level in style...

"Most of us wish we could've been there to stop the thing, both as a cop and a parent," said Lt. Jeff Campbell from the Eaton County Sheriff's Office.
In reaction to the shooting in Newtown, Conneticut, Eaton County Sheriff deputies are increasing their presence in local schools this week.
"Trying to reassure students and staff that we're here, we're aware of this. This has impacted every one of us and we want them to know that we're doing our best to keep them safe and to feel safe going to school," Lt. Campbell said.
One of the stops for Lt. Campbell on Monday was Hayes Middle School in the Grand Ledge School District.
"This impacts people in different ways and some teachers and some students are obviously very upset about it," he said.
Several school districts in mid-Michigan are taking this opportunity to reassure families. The Grand Ledge School District superintendent posted a message online saying in part that "all district employees continue to be vigilant in safeguarding our students and staff." The Lansing School District superintendent said in her Monday morning memo that "every school has an emergency plan in place."
"I don't think there's an extreme concern there is a specific threat at our schools. Obviously this is a good opportunity to look over your security protocol, building security, your emergency plans and just make sure you're familiar with them," Lt. Campbell said.
According to Lt. Campbell, they work closely with schools in developing, improving and practicing those plans, but for now, they're also available to simply provide moral support.

Less than a day after the Pikes Peak region was deluged with rain and flash flood warnings, a regional stormwater task force met Monday with an elephant in the room.
While almost every entity with a stake in stormwater projects attended the meeting, a key player in the region - the city of Colorado Springs - was absent. County Commissioner Amy Lathen, a member of the task force, called it the "elephant in the room," and said it was time to talk about the city's refusal to participate.
"We don't have the collaboration with the executive branch of the city," Lathen said. "We have to be honest about it. I don't want to waste anybody's time and not be honest about it."
The Pikes Peak Regional Stormwater Task force - a group of business leaders, city councilors, county commissioners, water district representatives and Colorado Springs Utilities representatives - discussed the long list of stormwater needs across the region. The group laid out possible funding formulas to pay for the estimated $900 million in regional drainage projects, which would cost roughly $11.5 million a year. The members talked about how addressing stormwater needs must be done regionally - and the city, county and all other local entities need to work together.
But the group's work has been done without the blessing of Colorado Springs Mayor Steve Bach, a huge gap in the effort, because Colorado Springs accounts for roughly 80 percent of the region's stormwater needs, Lathen said. It's a control issue, she said. But the city needs to get away from which entity is bigger and become part of a regional solution.
"You can't go along without them," she said.
As recently as two weeks ago, city officials sent the county a message that the city does not recognize the work of the task force and is not interested in a regional stormwater program, she said.
About a year ago, the task force formed with the backing of the mayor. But after the first round of work, which included making a list of all the area's drainage needs, Bach pulled his support from the group. He questioned the list and cost of the projects, including the nearly $700 million projected for Colorado Springs' portion, and brought in his own consultant for a second opinion. That report is expected to be complete in October.
When the second opinion report is complete, the city intends to meet with the county and utilities staff and decide the next step, Colorado Springs City Attorney Chris Melcher said Monday.
"The mayor - once the report is done - would support city staff sitting down with county staff and utilities staff to talk about regional collaboration," Melcher said.
But regional collaboration is yet to be defined. Bach has said he wants the city to take the reins on its stormwater work, while coordinating the order of projects with the county and neighboring municipalities.
Meanwhile, the task force continues to meet, and hopes to have a sit-down with the mayor sometime this summer. The group would like to see a ballot issue addressing stormwater funding in November 2014.
They task force has come up with three funding models to pay for the projects.
One option is to set up a regional authority, similar to a stormwater authority in Arapahoe County that collects stormwater fees to pay for construction, operation and maintenance of drainage projects. A second option is to model a stormwater group after the Pikes Peak Regional Transportation Authority, which was created in 2004 by voters in Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Manitou Springs and Green Mountain Falls, and collects a 1 percent sales tax for transportation and transit improvements. The third option would be a hybrid of the two.
The task force will detail the options at a joint meeting in August with El Paso County commissioners and the Colorado Springs City Council, which has sent representatives to the group's meetings. The task force also aims to schedule a community meeting on the topic.
Still, the unknown factor is whether the Bach will back any of the proposals. He has said he is interested in putting his own funding proposal to voters.
Melcher said his office is researching funding models across the country.
"The best next step is to wait for the second opinion," Melcher said. "When it's done, what we might learn is there is a need for much smaller projects or there is a smaller amount on the projects that needs to be spent. Those would be very important factors in determining how we go forward."

A Moment to Honor Penn Station

I was watching Mad Men the other night, and I loved the scene where that scumbag Pete Campbell was trying to woo the Madison Square Garden developers to let him provide their P.R. and squash the nutball commie preservationists who were trying to save Penn Station (McKim, Mead, and White, 1910). I love that Mad Men focuses in on these pivotal points in history, and evokes a feeling of being on the cusp of momentous change. A phoenix of historic preservation rose from the ashes of Penn Station; its demolition was the catalyst that brought people like Jane Jacobs, Ada Louise Huxtable and a slew of like-minded architects together to fight the good fight for preservating historic buildings and better urban planning. The episode inspired me to take a moment of silence to honor this Beaux Arts Masterpiece.

Domain web hosting is a term that we use to describe when you decide to hire a web hosting company to create a domain name for you. It is a common misconception that if people want to hire web hosting company, they should support domain names as well. However, if it is in fact paid hosting, the web hosting company or provider has the ability to add on domains as well.
When you are planning on getting a domain name, you have to buy it and register it for a year with a domain name register company. However, you also have an option to purchase it for two or even up to ten years if you want.
Once you have a domain name, there are two things that you can do: park your domain name or transform it into a website by means of web hosting. Parking your domain name is great if your domain name generates a lot of direct type-in traffic. Basically this means that a lot of people search for your domain name by typing it in Google or in popular search engines but it would direct them to your parked webpage. This works well if you the exact keyword dot com domain name.
However, it is a much better idea to turn or use your domain name into a website. This is because you will have a variety of options on how to develop it if were a website. With a parked domain, you will only end up with a static webpage that is packed with ads. It won't only look messy but it is not user friendly as well.
If you are interested in getting a website for your domain name, web hosting can provide you hundreds of templates to choose from. You can design your website the way you want to and even choose the format you want. There are no restrictions to how you want your website to look like. However, if you want to achieve good results in the long term for you website, you will need the assistance of a web design company that is adept in search engine optimisation.

The Chef: Lyndsay
The Menu: Myriad Match meats, a line of new, plant-based meat alternatives. Lyndsay took advantage of a recent shipment of products for us to try, and served up a trio of Match Foods' latest offerings. Starting at six o'clock on the plate, you see a lovely Italian-sausage infused marinara, tossed with a brown-rice ziti. Moving clockwise, we had a savory, stuffed chicken-style entrée, then a fish-free crab-cake, and finally a gorgeous green salad.
The Goods: To balance out the savory with some sweets, we had the pleasure of dining with Yvonne Smith, aka The Traveling Vegetarian, and Michelle Taylor, creator of Vegan Break. These two lovely ladies were sweet enough themselves, but they decided to go way beyond the call of duty and spoil us with dessert, which included chocolate cupcakes from Whole Foods, cookies from Peet's, and two pints of Maggie Mudd's Mudslingers Freestyle. Yeah. About that. We might be in sugar-induced comas under our desks right now, and totally happy about it. Check out the sweet splendor below, and feel free to remind us to eat vegetables!

With a fascinating history throughout the twentieth century, this 41.60 m
schooner was designed by A. S. Chesebrough in 1905 as one of the last big
classic yachts. Lovingly restored 2001 to 2003 by experienced and specialized
italian companies, the interior design was completed in a most attractive and
modern style.
The saloon situated amidships hosts starboard a dining area with a settee in
leather and the extendable table, plus a cosy bar with antique brass stools on
the opposite. The oak floor with marquetry and the cherrywood wall panelling
takes you back to a long bygone era of elegance.
The passageway leading aft to the guest cabins splits to pass either side of the
main mast. A beautiful circular lobby leads towards the curved double doors of
the twin bedded main cabin, being both, spacious and very traditional, with
curved deck-beams, double skylights overhead and a double bathroom.
On both sides the lobby opens to two twin bedded guest cabins, each en suite.
Forward to the saloon are a fully-equipped modern galley, dinette and two crew
twin cabins while the captain owns a double cabin.
The engineroom is completely modern and immaculate and except for the
original compass binnacle, everything else on the yacht has been replaced. The
schooner stands out for an easily-driven hull of classic wineglass section, deep
draught, long overhangs and an absolute cloud of sail.
This fabulous, unique and fast sailing yacht is looking for a traditional and
classic yacht enthusiast ready to sail around the world.

Better Talk Now Quotes
Brian Lynch, winning trainer of Heart to Heart (No. 2): "You're getting to the end of the season, so there's not many straight 3-year-old races, especially at a mile on the turf. His race at Keeneland was very impressive, and then we chased the Queen's Plate a little bit. I think he really runs the turns well; he absolutely loves two-turn racing. I think when we ran him 1 1/8 miles at Woodbine, with the big long stretch, it was a little soft and he had the wobbly boot on late. He fit here today."

South Coast yachtsman Peter Tucker remains hopeful of divisional success in today's Sydney to Hobart race, even if forecasts for southerly winds eventuate.
Tucker's part-owned yacht, Ice Fire, is on track to better its 2011 result of 46th overall after extensive refinements to its crew and race strategy.
In a race dominated by southerlies, the biggest yachts in the 77-boat fleet will likely be afforded a comfortable advantage over smaller rivals.
But Tucker argued his 11-man crew's vast experience held them in good stead in the race to Constitution Dock.
"The boat's made to go down wind so we'd prefer to have it behind us or from the side of us - that way we get the full benefit of what the boat's designed for," he said.
"But that wind will turn up somewhere in the race because it can change so much.
"Some boats will go against the wind better than others and the bigger boats, because they move so quickly, they'll start putting some distance on the rest of the fleet and they'll sail different weather to what we will."
Ice Fire languished in light winds at the back end of last year's race, a setback made worse by Tucker not stocking ample food supplies.
The crew also battled a torn mainsail sustained off the coast of Eden, negating any chance the 45-footer had of a podium finish in the International Rule (IRC) division two standings.
Ice Fire will be raced under a friendlier PHS format (Performance Handicap System) this year. According to Tucker, the new category and better preparation boded well for his crew.
"There's quite a few contenders out there in our division this year - the Volvo 60 boats of Southern Excellence and Merit being two examples," Tucker said.
"A lot of boats that don't rate really well under IRC go into PHS for the simple fact that it probably balances the boats out a bit better, because a full-on measurement system doesn't handicap a boat to its proper potential.
"We raced under IRC last year and figured we would give the PHS a run this year and see how we go."
"Because we have internet on the boat we can check up on how everyone else is progressing and where the wind is when. Or whether we need to go somewhere else to get into a better wind pattern, which may suit us."
While the rest of the race's crews were busy with last minute preparations last week, Tucker was kicking his heels up on a beach at the Gold Coast.
The two-time race entrant said the tactic reflected his crew's preparedness for the voyage south, unlike previous years.
"Everyone's there ready to go," Tucker said.
"This is number three Sydney to Hobart for me. That bit of extra experience is pretty important.
"We go with two navigators this time, one on each watch. We had a selection of about 20 people for the race, and that's been cut down to 11 for the race, just so we don't have anyone we're carrying."
How the Sydney to Hobart yacht race handicap system works:
Yacht racing handicaps are similar to that of golf, in that they're designed to level the playing field between boats of different sizes and design.
Sydney-Hobart organisers use the IRC handicap system, the details of which remain secret to prevent yacht designers creating boats that could take advantage of the rules.
Under this rule, a yacht owner takes a series of fairly straightforward measurements of their yacht: the length, weight, overhangs and sail sizes, whether the boat has a fixed or canting keel, water ballast, carbon fibre or aluminium mast.
That information is sent to the Rating Office of the Royal Ocean Racing Club in Britain, which then issues a rating for the boat. This is essentially a multiplier of the boat's elapsed time during a race.
Each hour the boat takes to finish is multiplied by its rating time handicap factor to produce its corrected time. The higher the rating, the bigger the multiplier and the bigger the difference between handicap time and elapsed time.
The numbers in the Sydney to Hobart:
Most line honours: Morna/Kurrewa IV with 7.
Most overall wins: Freya and Love & War – both 3.
Race record: Wild Oats XI – 1 day 18hours 40 minutes 10 seconds (2005).
Slowest finisher: Wayfarer – 11 days 6hours 20 minutes (1945).
Closest finish: Condor of Bermuda beat Apollo by seven seconds (1982).
Most races by a male: Tony Cable – 46.
Most races by a female: Adrienne Cahalan – 20.
Most races by a boat: Phillip's Foote Witchdoctor and Bacardi – both 27.
Largest fleet: 371 (1994).
Average size of fleet (1945-2011): 81.

FRA took part in a workshop on 'Human Trafficking: Challenges and Opportunities for the 21st Century', organised by the International Institute for the Sociology of Law in Spain.
The workshop, which took place in Onati on 26-27 June, brought together key policy makers, lawyers, academics and practitioners to address the issues of human trafficking in light of recent policy and legislative developments in the EU. The workshop sought to put forward recommendations in key areas that, globally, have caused concern even though they may not be priorities for EU member states. FRA presented its recent handbook on 'Guardianship for children deprived of parental care', focusing on the specific needs of child victims of trafficking, and its work on severe forms of labour exploitation.

Zaksa Kedzierzyn–Kozle victors in 2013 Polish Cup Final
The beginning of the match belonged to Rzeszow. They blocked well and led effective counterattacks. Asseco Resovia led 2-0, 9-6 and then 16-11 after the second technical time-out in the first set, winning 25-19.
Zaksa had started Sunday's match without Antonin Rouzier (he was replaced by Dominik Witczak), but in the second set coach Daniel Castellani returned him to the game and Zaksa's team play immediately started to improve. They strengthened service and finally began to use counterattacks. Zaksa won second set and equalized the battle 1-1.
The beginning of third set saw good blocking and perfect service from the Rzeszow team. Andrzej Kowal's team achieved easy 8-3 advantage on the first technical timeout. Zaksa woke up on time, however, and pulled back to 17-18. Zaksa won 25-21.
The fourth set was full of twists and turns, with Zaksa playing well off the serve. Resovia failed on reception and attack but still didn't lose faith in winning. They came to 22-22, but Nowakowski missed his service and Kosok failed on the attack. Zaksa defeated Resovia 25-23 to seal the match 3-1.
"We lost the match of the Polish Cup Final. We regret that very much," said Resovia Rzeszow captain Olieg Achrem. "Zaksa played better and won the Cup. Congratulations to them. Now we have to concentrate on the league."
"We are very happy to win the Polish Cup. Except for the first set, we played a very good match," said Pawel Zagumny, Zaksa Kedzierzyn-Kozle captain. "Despite the health problems of Antonin Rouzier, he managed to play till the end of the competition. We hope this injury is not serious. Today we are really very happy. We hope that the trophy will give us wings to fight for the Polish championship."

- Radio Ga Ga - Belgian Grand Prix
'Nico just hit me! Nico hit me!'Nate Saunders August 27, 2014
After the war at Mercedes turned ugly in the most explosive way imaginable, ESPN brings you the best of the radio soundbites heard at the Belgian Grand Prix.
"Still the power is no good!
Giedo van der Garde is not impressed with the feel of his Ferrari-powered Sauber during FP1.
"The rear is so poor in the car."
Kimi Raikkonen's gives Ferrari a rather bleak assessment of his car in the early stages of FP1. Luckily for the Finn, his prospects for the weekend would get better.
"Bonno please, please don't speak to me during my lap."
Lewis Hamilton asks Peter Bonnington for radio silence after getting distracted by the voice of his race engineer during a timed run in qualifying.
"Nico's just hit me! Nico hit me."
As he tries to control his Mercedes with a left rear puncture on lap two, Hamilton tells Mercedes what the watching world had just seen unfold at Les Combes.
"He's cheating at Turn 15, he's cheating!"
Nico Rosberg is unimpressed with Sebastian Vettel's liberal approach to track limits while he is trying to find a way past the Red Bull in his middle stint.
"Can you ask Charlie if that pass was OK?"
But Rosberg knows he is hardly obeying rules of track limits to the letter himself, asking Mercedes to check whether he has to give a place back to Jenson Button after passing the McLaren on the Kemmel Straight later in the race.
"I was pulling away from Bottas so I don't really understand?"
"He might have undercut you."
Having seen his chances of victory evaporate after an early mistake at Pouhon, an increasingly frustrated Vettel questions Guillaume Rocquelin about Red Bull's pit stop strategy.
"OK Nico, you're gonna catch Ricciardo at the very end.
Tony Ross tells Rosberg to keep what doing what he is doing as he continues to eat away at Daniel Ricciardo's advantage on his fresh soft rubber.
"I don't even have the car to get past people if there is a Safety Car."
After pleading for an early retirement to save his engine, Hamilton reveals his damage is so bad he can't even overtake cars outside the points.
"Fantastic drive, unbelievable drive! How did you do that?"
Even Christian Horner does not understand how Ricciardo was able to hold off the charging Rosberg in the final laps.

Doherty Enterprises Inc., one of the largest casual dining restaurant franchisees in the United States, is bringing its new community-themed concept to the Cape Coral Applebee's. Located at 2228 Del Prado Blvd., the restaurant unveiled its new warm and welcoming atmosphere Wednesday after undergoing renovations and being closed for construction, Sunday, June 22, through Tuesday.
Themed "local community," the new look of Applebee's highlights education, non-profit organizations and first responders within the Cape Coral community.The wall decor consists of photos from local professional and college sports teams, community groups and schools, including Cape Coral High School, Ida S. Baker High School and Mariner High School.
The 5,018-square-foot restaurant can host up to 167 guests, who will enjoy the comfort of a large dining area with new booths and lighting. Among these new features are several TV screens throughout the restaurant, ranging from 42 inches to 70 inches in size.
New elements to the exterior include fresh paint, awnings and signage, along with a renovated entrance featuring new stone work and a trellis. As part of the remodel plan, staff underwent retraining to ensure that guests are greeted with familiar faces.
"We have been renovating, remodeling and creating an overall community atmosphere at Applebee's locations statewide since January, and are excited to continue the theme's roll-out in Cape Coral," said David DiBartolo, vice president of operations at Doherty Enterprises Inc. "Cape Coral's community is rich in outstanding organizations and local schools, and we look forward to celebrating their achievements and welcoming them to the Applebee's family."
Applebee's is also welcoming guests to come back and enjoy great new menu items and specials, including half-off appetizers available every night from 10 p.m. until close, as well as Sunday Family Day, with all kids meals available for $1.99.
Doherty Enterprises is committed to being involved in the community, giving back to neighbors and supporting education. Each Doherty restaurant stays engaged in its neighborhood and, through donations, fundraisers and sponsorships helps local organizations grow and flourish. In 2013, Doherty restaurant employees enthusiastically volunteered more than 2,000 hours of their time to participate in more than 1,500 community activities, events and projects. Doherty restaurants are dedicated partners and have helped their communities raise over $1.5 million in financial contributions to local causes.
One way that Doherty supports education in the community is through the "A is for Applebee's" program, which was created for teachers, libraries and scout leaders to use as an incentive for children to succeed and be rewarded. The program gives children an incentive to go the extra mile to help other students, read more books and make the Honor Roll. By obtaining the certificate, children gain a sense of accomplishment.
For more information about how Doherty Enterprises and its restaurants support local communities, or to get involved in one of the Youth Programs, visitwww.dohertyinc.com/community-connection.

A controversial neighbourhood plan and a draft development blueprint, which gives the green light for another cruise terminal in Brisbane, has passed at the Brisbane City Council meeting.
In a rare move, Labor and LNP councillors united in their support for the draft Pinkenba/Eagle Farm neighbourhood plan at Tuesday's meeting, voting to approve a document outlining a new shape for a district dubbed Brisbane's "economic heart".
That heart will beat through six different development precincts contained within the industry-focused plan, with "mega cruise ships" supported by provisions for a new terminal at the Myrtletown Precinct.
Brisbane's existing cruise ship terminal at Portside Wharf is capable of welcoming ships up to 270 metres in length, including the P&O Aurora and the Oriana, but unable to handle mega ships the size of the 345 metre-long RMS Queen Mary 2.
Neighbourhood Planning Chairman councillor Amanda Cooper said the plan also included space for the conversion of some industrial areas into shops, cafes or other retails services.
"I think this is a great outcome," Cr Cooper said, and councillors from both sides of the chamber rose to speak in support of the plan.
But there was sharp division over the Mitchelton centre neighbourhood plan, which has aggravated members of the local community since it was proposed in 2010 and was the subject of an official complaint to the Queensland Ombudsman.
The controversy centres on provisions in a revised plan passed by council late last year which allowed for buildings taller than had been agreed to in an initial round of community consultation, according to some residents.
But Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney approved the revised plan in December, despite the complaint from the Mitchelton Action Group.
Opposition Leader councillor Milton Dick said the ALP moved to vote against plan because "the community has been taken for a ride".
But local councillor Andrew Wines spoke in support of the plan because it was in line with the area's identification in the South East Queensland Regional Plan as "a major growth node".
After a vote which split the floor along party lines in the LNP-dominated council, the plan is now set to be adopted to the city's planning scheme.
