Store-level systems such as online ordering, self-service payment, kitchen displays, labor management, integrated ordering, and so on, can often mean the difference between leading and lagging behind the competition. But integrating new software with the POS system can be a significant hurdle to getting those systems in place.
While most every IT implementation hits some unexpected bumps, each experience teaches lessons about how to make integration go more smoothly. Step one in any POS integration process, then, should be to tap the collected wisdom of others. Hospitality Technology tapped the 20/20 hindsight of experienced operators to amass these essential integration tips:
1. Know Thy Vendor
Two-unit Chuck House has no IT staff, so when the Oklahoma-based operator added kitchen displays, confidence in its vendors was paramount. Cooperation among SoftTouch (www.softtouchPOS.com), reseller and integrator Cash Register Systems (www.crsokc.com), and back office software vendor Aspect Software (www.aspect-software.net) carried the fast casual operator over some hurdles in its Logic Controls (www.logiccontrols.com) kitchen display rollout. Chuck House had a previous relationship with SoftTouch and knew the VAR's reputation. "We felt we could work with them and we knew they would be there long term," says Jay Thurber, Chuck House's owner.
2. Match Platforms
As a Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) shop, 91-unit Italian-style eatery Buca di Beppo favors applications that use the same database and development platform. Such selection was less critical, however, when choosing a vendor for its online ordering system, because its chosen vendor, orderTalk (www.order talk.com), hosts the solution. For Ruby Tuesday, platform is a top priority. "The reason we selected the Micros 3700 (www.micros.com) is because of its open architecture, which allows us lots of different ways to get into the database," says John Doyle, director of IT and restaurant systems. "It's a true ODBC [Open Database Connectivity], and we're able to insert any object - a table, various triggers, etc. The system interface module hooks directly into the core application engine," enabling the many seamless integrations the chain has deployed across its 950+ units.
For Wahoo's Fish Tacos, with more than 30 locations, staying within the Positouch (www.positouch.com) universe provided the comfort factor they needed to integrate the POS with back office functions including accounting, desktop management, process management, payroll, live profit and loss statements, inventory management and purchasing management. Wahoo's reseller, Custom Business Solutions (www.cbs-posi.com), developed an enterprise suite specifically for the Positouch platform called Northstar Enterprise Framework. As an early customer for the new application, Wahoo's has enjoyed the ability to help shape the software - while enduring the inevitable hiccups.
"When we started, Northstar was not in the picture and we expected to have to shop for a third party," says Mingo Lee, Wahoo's CEO.
3. Favor Pre-Integration
In order of preference, most operators favor new modules of their existing POS system, followed by a third party application that has already been pre-integrated with their POS platform and used by similar operations. Next comes a third-party application that has been integrated with other POS systems but not their own. Dead last are applications with no integration history by a vendor with little integration experience.
"We've done a few where we were the first on the [Micros] 3700, and the amount of work we put into it was almost beyond leading edge to bleeding edge," says Ruby Tuesday's Doyle. "You suffer every problem."
A strong vendor history can go a long way to mitigating the potential pitfalls. When Buca di Beppo decided to add online ordering, for example, its POS provider, Squirrel Systems (www.squirrelsystems.com), did not offer an online ordering module, but did offer a gateway application programming interface (API) for third party integration.
"We preferred integration with Squirrel, but we went with a company that did not; they had, however, done integration projects before," says Dan Cullen, senior director of IT for Buca. "We looked for someone who understands the technology and what's involved, how to get around connectivity issues."
4. Understand the Details
What methodology will the vendor use during the integration? What integration assistance does the POS vendor provide? Is ODBC or API or an interface module offered? Will data definitions require modification? What data will pass into the POS, and what needs to come back out?
Ruby Tuesday assigns its team of analysts to do feasibility studies of potential integrations, scrutinizing the vendor as well as the application.
5. Know How You Want the Integration to Work
This may sound like a no-brainer, but it can be hard to account for every detail and nuance at the white board stage. Buca's planned two- to three-month integration process stretched to four months because "there were some changes operationally in the way we wanted it to work," says Cullen.
When Chuck House wanted to replace tickets with kitchen monitors to display orders, its POS provider, SoftTouch, offered a kitchen display integration that would support its new displays right out of the box. But following implementation, Chuck House discovered it wanted to change the way those orders displayed, allowing orders from multiple terminals to come onto each monitor in sequence. That alteration required significant work and coordination among the vendors.
"Until the pressure of going live with the system in the restaurant, you won't see every issue you have," says Thurber. "However pressed you are for time, the more study you put in before, and become familiar with the OS behind the POS system, the better you do. You have to know exactly what you want the system to do and be able to define it to the vendor."
6. Thoroughly Question References
"When you're provided a list of references, you might say, 'of course they're good, so why call?'" says Wahoo's Lee. "But you should call even if it's a solid reference and talk to people within the organization, asking them to tell you about the implementation and where the setbacks were. Speak to people at different levels and get to know about the guts. Talk to the IT people."
Even better is to develop and tap a network within the industry, enhancing the likelihood that someone within your organization has contacts at a restaurant already using the proposed software.
7. Document Everything
POS vendors should be able to provide documentation instructing third parties in how to link to their application. Whether integration is performed in-house, by the vendor, or through a joint effort, it's essential to create documentation around how that integration was executed to ease future projects and modifications.
8. Start Small
Get basic integration right before layering on the bells and whistles. A best practice is to set up the new modules with limited functionality, geographic coverage, menu items, etc., to ensure a solid foundational layer before adding to the complexity. Buca, for example, started with credit cards only for online ordering before considering coupons, gift cards, debit cards and the like, and without location-specific menus, or catering and group ordering, and began with five stores. The remainder will rollout in the first quarter, 2008.
"Start small and be methodical," advises Cullen. "The technology is one thing, but make sure the restaurant can operationally handle the outcome of the system."
When it comes to integration, forewarned is forearmed. Substantial research and planning enable operators to gain new store-level functionality while minimizing the hurdles in getting new software to talk to the POS.

Used Fiat Seicento Hatchback 98-04No longer on sale
What's the used Fiat Seicento like?
City cars aren't normally renowned for their cute looks, but this is where the Seicento steals a march on its rivals. Compared with the high-sided and boxy competition, the Seicento looks like a proper car, but in miniature.
However, there's a good reason that the competition is built that way - it gives more space inside. And, since Fiat chose to go another way, the Seicento is seriously cramped. The Seicento drives well enough if you stay in town, but its weak engines, so-so handling and patchy ride mean that it struggles everywhere else. It will hit the motorway limit, but it takes an age to get there, and is horribly noisy once it has. No version is particularly well equipped, and the base car is extremely sparse. But, perhaps the most worrying thing is the omission of basic safety kit. Well, that and the poor two-star Euro NCAP crash test results.

Methinks the average milsimer doesn't have $1400 for one of these.
Why, are milsimers poor? There's just as many folks in milsim that can drop $1300 on a marker as there are speedballers that can do the same... Not to say that the number is a huge demographic. The difference now is the old stand-by milsim (and especially mag fed) manufacturers have real competition. No longer will a truly crappy engine, drive train or feed system in an expensive shell cut it. They now have to update performance as well as the aesthetic. It's a good thing.

Whom do you trust, whom do you love, and who can be saved?
It is 1943—the height of the Second World War—and Berlin has essentially become a city of women.
Sigrid Schröder is, for all intents and purposes, the model German soldier's wife: She goes to work every day, does as much with her rations as she can, and dutifully cares for her meddling mother-in-law, all the while ignoring the horrific immoralities of the regime. But behind this façade is an entirely different Sigrid, a woman who dreams of her former lover, now lost in the chaos of the war. Her lover is a Jew.
But Sigrid is not the only one with secrets.

This book was described by Paul Goat Allen as the "best vampire fiction release" of 2011 and has been $9.99 since I added it to my wishlist. It's currently $4.99.
Welcome to Parr's Landing, Population 1,528 . . . and shrinking.
The year is 1972. Widowed Christina Parr, her daughter Morgan, and her brother-in-law Jeremy have returned to the remote northern Ontario mining town of Parr's Landing, the place from which Christina fled before Morgan was born, seeking refuge. Dr. Billy Lightning has also returned in search of answers to the mystery of his father's brutal murder. All will find some part of what they seek-and more.
Built on the site of a decimated 17th-century Jesuit mission to the Ojibwa, Parr's Landing is a town with secrets of its own buried in the caves around Bradley Lake. A three-hundred-year-old horror slumbers there, calling out to the insane and the murderous for centuries, begging for release-an invitation that has finally been answered.
One man is following that voice, cutting a swath of violence across the country, bent on a terrible resurrection of the ancient evil, plunging the town and all its people into an endless night.

My thoughts as well. While the Bohr model is not as interesting looking from a design perspective, I would have gotten it if it had the right model.

Thanks for the comment - I am always interested to know this - as a designer you usually are trying to judge what the larger group of physics fans would prefer, and you always assume that any design you make may not please ALL the people. .
Most people, in my opinion, rank the aesthetics highly and in my case I chose to illustrate the way I did because that familiar model relates to physics, not so much because it relates to 'Bohr' specifically. In that sense, I would submit there's nothing inaccurate about the shirt at all. It's a joke about 'Physics' and not 'Bohr' exclusively.

John Donne's standing as a great English poet, and one of the greatest writers of English prose, is now assured. However, it has been confirmed only in the early 20th century. The history of Donne's reputation is the most remarkable of any major writer in English; no other body of great poetry has fallen so far from favor for so long and been generally condemned as inept and crude. In Donne's own day his poetry was highly prized among the small circle of his admirers, who read it as it was circulated in manuscript, and in his later years he gained wide fame as a preacher. For some 30 years after his death successive editions of his verse stamped his powerful influence upon English poets. During the Restoration his writing went out of fashion and remained so for several centuries. Throughout the 18th century, and for much of the 19th...

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by Darth Tater, Jul 25, 2010.
No wonder I'm balding...Musta got that from my shower drain.
I am not sure whether or not I am looking forward to this years draft. In the past you could never predict what the Eagles were going to do. That is because they would make crackhead Matt Millen choices. I don't know what Andy Reid was doing. I'm not sure he did either. Chip Kelly is an unknown so in a way we don't know what he will do either. Nobody knows what the Eagles are doing so far. I don't know how much say the general manager has but I don't trust him either. It's debatable how much influence he had on Drafts. He seems like a weasel but that maybe has nothing to do with whom he picks. The Eagles need a lot of things. At the top of their list is the offense of line and the secondary. It's almost certain they will draft Luke Joeckel If he remains to be picked. If not perhaps they will pick another offensive Lineman From Central Michigan. He may be there still. Or they may go after Cornerback Dee Milner. If not the Lions will probably snatch that guy up with next pick. Anyhow, the Eagles will probably address those two needs in the first two rounds. But there is a quarterback who would fit their needs to. They could take him in the second round. But they already have five guys Who will compete for the position. Foles does not fit what they are trying to do, I think. The Chiefs are interested in him but the Eagles are saying he is not available. I think they are lying In trying to up the price for him. Supposedly they could get a third round pick at worst for him. It should be fun. It's too bad they could not get Russell Wilson like they wanted last year. They just missed him. I really hope they are not forced to go with vick.
Would Asomugha come play for the Lions?
Rogers cromartie is a free agent too. Do you think it was just circumstance that made them suck? Perhaps. The were both pro bowlers before coming to Philly.
They cut Nnamdi !
The announcers were laughing their arses off over how wide open his men were this season.
What killed me is all the Sirius88 announcers were saying he could get $20M per cause he was in the right place at the right time ! I blogged here he wouldn't get $13M per.
It seems like teams would be foolish to pay him much. Perhaps they think that it was the Eagles defensive scheme that didnt fit his talents. Or that he was sand bagging. I don't think either because the Eagles would have kept him if they thought he was worth anything because they will adjust their schemes with the new regime. I also don't believe he was a sand bagging malcontent. By all accounts he was a good guy and they spoke highly of his character when parting ways. So I believe he gave it his all and just sucks now. It was ludicrous how open he left opponents. I don't think the Lions want him.maybe they could sign him with no guarantees.
Somebody's gotta spread some good karma about the Eagles around here. Bill Barnwell on the first day of NFL free agency - Grantland
Good stuff. Thanks Jeremy. That is indeed encouraging. Now lets get back to serious and important stuff like making fun of Laimbeer in that other thread. I think we are finally getting under his skin. He's starting to get really irritable.

lol. Is that Drath?
Shut it, Bill. You're so behind.
If so, I'm lost as to the nature of that comment?
I did a forum search and the term "termite" has never been posted until now. Perhaps TFD was dreaming about termites and he mistakenly attributed it to the forum?
Thee has been calling Darth that for a little while now. No one knows why. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The termites that I've run into kinda like to nibble on wood. So I guess they have a woodsy breath thing going on. A better insult would be bison breath. Once one was walking next to me as I was rolling along in the Jeep at Yellowstone. I rolled down the window, and he turned and started breathing on me. Kinda like smelling a well turned compost pile.

Brian Dohn- Northeast Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Williamstown (N.J.) High vs. Southern Regional (Manahawkin, N.J.) at Rowan University at 7 p.m.
The South Jersey Group V final is the last chance for Williamstown linebacker and Temple commit Buddy Brown to win a state title. While Brown splits time rushing the quarterback and in coverage in the slot. Class of 2014 cornerback/running back Marques Little holds a Temple offer. Meanwhile, Southern is led by tight end Mike Gesicki, one ofthe top 2014 players in the state. He holds offers from Rutgers and Boston College, and is also getting interest from the Ivy League as a basketball player.
Saturday: Penns Grove (Carneys Point, N.J.) High vs. Woodbury (N.J.) High, at Rowan University at 10 a.m.
Woodbury and Alabama commit Anthony Averett knocked off Glassboro (N.J.) High and running back Corey Clement, a Wisconsin commit, in the South Jersey Group I semifinals and looks to win the state title. Averett, a cornerback, is also one of the top sprinters in the state.
Saturday: West Deptford High (Westville, N.J.) vs. Cedar Creek Regional High (Egg Harbor City, N.J.), at Rowan University at 1 p.m.
West Deptford is led by running back/linebacker Gerald Owens, a class of 2014 prospect who is a punishing runner and a very good tackler. He is 6-foot-2, 250 pounds and a rugged player. He may grow into a defensive tackle, but schools are already paying attention. Boston College, Rutgers, South Carolina and Wisconsin already offered. Cedar Creek is only in its second season, but are playing the South Jersey Group II title game, thanks in large part to Georgia Tech commit Damon Mitchell. He plays quarterback and safety, and is a dual threat on offense. He is also looking at other schools, having already made an official visit to Wisconsin and also looking at an official visit to Rutgers.
Saturday: Delsea High (Franklinville, N.J.) vs. Northern Burlington (N.J.) High, at Rowan University at 4 p.m.
The South Jersey Group III title game is highlights by under-the-radar linebacker Joshua Awotunde, who holds an offer from James Madison and could get a few mid-major offers in the two months before signing day.
Saturday: Timber Creek Regional High (Erial, N.J.) vs. Kingsway High( Woolwich Township, N.J.), at Rowan University at 7 p.m.
The day ends with a matchup of the most FBS talent on the field as Timber Creek and its five FBS commits look to repeat as the Group IV South Jersey champs. The Chargers are led by North Carolina commits Greg Webb and Dajaun Drennon. Webb, who missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a torn ACL, is a dominant defensive tackle when healthy. Drennon is an athletic defensive end. Timber Creek also has outside linebacker Myles Nash (Rutgers commit), running back/safety Zaire Williams (West Virginia commit) and cornerback Eric Church (Kent State commit) in its 2013 class, and receiver Adonis Jennings (Rutgers, Pittsburgh and Delaware offers) in the 2014 class. Kingsway is led by2014 running back Ray Lawry, who is hearing from plenty of schools, including Rutgers and Penn State. Athlete Justin Morrison is also a player to keep an eye on.
Chad Simmons- National Recruiting Analyst
Sandy Creek has won state titles two of the last three years and they have a lot of talented prospects in the 2013 and 2014 classes. In the senior class, they have Shaquille Wiggins, a four-star corner committed to Georgia, offensive guard Alan Knott that is committed to South Carolina, and linebacker Corey Griffin, and that trio leads the Patriots. Demarre Kitt is a junior wide receiver and he is one of the best in the country at his position. Chris Williams is a defensive tackle in the 2014 class and he has been offered by Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Another junior to watch is quarterback Cole Garvin. They have a few sophomores and freshmen we will be talking about in the future too. Monroe Area has a junior quarterback in Stanton Truitt who is starting to make a name for himself. He is more of an athlete than a quarterback and he could be a slot receiver or a corner on the next level. He is starting to draw interest from D1 schools. Kwan Brooks is a 2014 running back that has made a lot of plays for the Purple Hurricanes this season as well.
Jamie Newberg - National Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Jacksonville (Fla.) University Christian vs. Miami (Fla.) Dade Christian, 1 p.m.
University Christian takes on Dade Christian in the 2A state title game on Friday afternoon. North Carolina defensive end commitment Marquis Haynes has had a dominating senior campaign, recording 23 sacks in 13 games so far. He also plays on offense and kicks for University Christian. Dade Christian athlete Terrance Alls is committed to David Cutcliffe and Duke. He's just that, a terrific three-phase player that's a standout receiver, defensive back and return guy.
Saturday: Madison (Fla.) Madison County vs. Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.)
University School at 1 p.m.
This is the game of the weekend in Orlando's Citrus Bowl as these two high school powers are loaded with talent. Madison County is led by four-star offensive lineman Ira Denson. Denson has committed to FSU. Cornerback Sheddrick Williams and defensive end Brandon Crawford are two D-1 prospects. As usual Madison County is loaded with underclassmen like 2014 standouts running back Deonshay Well and sophomore athlete Akevious Williams. Then you have University, which is like a south Florida all-star team led by major BCS recruits like wide receivers Dionte Taylor and Jordan Cunningham, defensive tackle Maquedius Bain, linebackers Skai Moore and Nick Internicola, and athlete Jalen Battle. 2014 cornerback Quincy Wilson has a slew of offers already. Meanwhile, sophomore running back Jordan Scarlett may be the best of the bunch and will undoubtedly be one of the top 2015 recruits.
Saturday: Jacksonville (Fla.) The Bolles School vs Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington at 7 p.m.
Another Bolles team vying for another 4A state championship in Orlando's Citrus Bowl, as they take on a loaded BTW team led by five-star outside linebacker Matthew Thomas and mammoth offensive line recruit Denver Kirkland. Kirkland and Thomas both favor the Seminoles and Hurricanes while BTW defensive back Michael Johnson has already committed to Florida State. Linebacker Chad Thomas, cornerback Nigel Patton, and athlete Treon Harris are all BCS recruits for next season. Bolles is led by junior offensive lineman Kian Schoenborn and 2015 athlete Dexter Carter, Jr.

Thursday: Alabama High School State Championships at Jordan Hare Stadium
Madison Country (Ala.) vs. Fayette County (Ala.) at 11 a.m.
Marion County (Ala.) vs. Brantley (Ala.) at 3 p.m.
Spanish Fort (Ala.) vs. McAdory (Ala.) at 7 p.m.
Madison County is led by running back Jordan Chunn, a senior who has offers from Alabama A&M, Jacksonville State and UAB. Spanish Fort has dealt with adversity all season, and boasts a very talented secondary, led by Nebraska commit Jonathan Cook. He is flanked at safety by tackling machine Kylan Cotton. McAdory is junior-laden, particularly up the middle. Running back Garian Bradley is a rising SEC prospect as is 2014 defensive end Cory Thomas.
Friday: Alabama High School State Championships at Jordan Hare Stadium
UMS-Wright (Ala.) vs. Oneota (Ala.) at 11 a.m.
Tanner (Ala.) vs. Washington County (Ala.) at 3 p.m.
Tanner is senior-laden by center Chase Benford, fellow lineman Try Fletcher and skill guys Greg Maclin and Fredrick Rich. Each is looking for more in the recruiting game. Washington County contends with seniors Dan Howard and T.J. Kidd, a pair of undersized players that play bigger than their listed size.
Hoover (Ala.) vs. Opelika (Ala.) at 7 p.m.
Hoover cruised into the title game undefeated, with several standout players. The top prospect on the roster is 2014 defensive back Marlon Humphrey, who has already reeled in offers from most of the SEC and more. Senior DB Devon Earl is a South Alabama pledge and linebacker Jamal Lucas is headed to Southern Miss. Opelika boasts play-making running back Calvin Bryant, who is looking to get his name out there in recruiting more. Junior tight end Jakell Mitchell and defensive back Stephen Roberts are having standout playoff runs that may result in more recruiting attention.

Friday: Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips at Apopka (Fla.) Apopka 7:30 p.m.
Dr. Phillips hopes to remain undefeated as they travel to Apopka - a team they beat earlier this season - for the 8A semifinals. Senior safety and Florida commitment, Marcell Harris, is still out with a knee injury, but Dr. Phillips has managed to win without him on the field the past few games with the help of a strong defense including senior safety Matt Milano, a Boston College commit. Senior running back and Bowling Green commit Eric Harrell leads the offense and 2014 athlete Deionte Gaines has been a big contributor for DP this season. Apopka has a tough battle ahead.
Saturday: Class 3A State Championship - Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) University vs. Madison County (Fla.) Madison County
Two undefeated teams will meet in the state title game - both have their share of D1 athletes. Madison boasts of senior offensive lineman Ira Denson, committed to FSU, and athlete Sheddrick Williams, who has a handful of nice offers. Keep an eye on 2014 wide receiver Deon'Taye Oliver, who may be small, but he is speedy and hard to catch. University School is about as loaded as any team in the state and has knocked out anyone in their path to state this season. Senior wide receivers Jordan Cunningham, D.J. Taylor and D.J. Woods are all capable pass catchers and 2015 running back Jordan Scarlett has been nearly unstoppable this season. On defense, Maquedius Bain is back from a shoulder injury and holding down the line. Rutgers linebacker commitment Nick Internicola and hot prospect Skai Moore comprise the second line of defense. In the defensive backfield, 2014 corner Quincy Wilson has many schools after him and Kentucky safety commit Jalen Battle has had his fair share of big plays this season. Everything is in place for a great match up in the Citrus Bowl.
Saturday: Class 4A State Championship - Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington vs. Jacksonville (Fla.) Bolles
The Citrus Bowl should play host to two great games Saturday, but this one should be the most emotional of them all. Booker T. had all but won state last year and Bolles beat them in a come from behind victory to take the championship. Linebacker Matthew Thomas is one of the most sought-after prospects in the country this year, and he said this game is more than personal. He was hoping that Bolles would be their match-up in the state game. This Booker T. team has been talking about 'revenge' on Bolles since Spring Football and they'll have their chance this week. FSU cornerback commitment Michael Johnson and 2014 defensive end Chad Thomas hold down the defense with Matthew Thomas. Junior quarterback Treon Harris has several offers as well. Harris has several play-makers to choose from on offense. Bolles will need to play better-than-ever to beat Booker T. again this time around.
Erin Hartigan - Midlands Field Reporter
Saturday: Cedar Hill (Tx) v Waco (Tx) Midway at 2:00 p.m.
Two of sixteen 5A teams remaining, Cedar Hill and Midway sit just three wins from a Texas state title and square off Saturday. Cedar Hill, familiar with December, bring in a loaded squad headlined by Texas A&M commitments commitments Quincy Adeboyejo and Laquvionte Gonzalez, who have compiled a combined 2,547 yards and 37 touchdowns this fall. Dual-threat quarterback Damion Hobbs, an Arkansas State verbal, has also tallied quite the numbers, throwing for 2,256 yards and 24 touchdowns, in addition to nine scores and 591 yards on the ground. Anchoring the defensive charge will be linebacker Isaiah Lewis and 2014 cornerback Marcus Green. This said, expect Midway's electric running back B.J. Kelly and receiver Hunter Jarmon to bring quite the test. Jarmon, a 6-foot, 190-pound senior, holds a plethora of offers from Missouri, Baylor, Kansas State, Oregon State, Washington State, among others.
Greg Biggins - National Recruiting Analyst
Saturday: Corona (Calif.) Centennial vs. Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne at 7:00 p.m.
Centennial is known for their line play and they have one of the best tackles in the state in California commit Cameron Hunt. Hunt could play tackle or guard in college and has landed offers in the last week from Oregon, Michigan and Nebraska. On the other side of the line, DE Garrett Hughes has also committed to Cal and has had a very solid season. Junior QB Robert Webber may not have the size to play at the next level but he has dominated the competition this year. Webber has thrown for 3,344 yards and 34 touchdowns with just four picks and rushed for another 648 yards and seven more scores. Narbonne has as much BCS talent as any school in the region. Washington QB commit Troy Williams is the state's top signal caller and Cal WR commit A.J. Richardson has been a game breaker all year. The defense is led by DL Paulo Lepua who had 19 sacks this season and linebacker Kieshawn Bierria, easily among the top handful of 'backers in the state this season.
Kevin Carden, West Recruiting Analyst
Friday: Fresno (Calif.) Clovis North vs. Long Beach (Calif.) Poly at 7:30 p.m.
Long Beach Poly, regarded as arguably the top talent producer in all of high school football over the past twenty years, is once again loaded with college level talent at several positions. The top overall prospect for the Jackrabbits is sophomore cornerback Iman Marshall. The elite 2015 corner looked terrific last week against Mater Dei, keeping four-star tight end/wide receiver Thomas Duarte in check all night. Junior safety John Smith is the most impressive 2014 safety that I have seen in person. Smith has great size, physicality and ball skills. UCLA linebacker commit Jayon Brown is another big-time prospect that plays with a lot of passion and attitude. On the offensive side of the ball, Washington State tailback commit Gerard Wicks is a tremendous power backs and is a great get for Mike Leach. Clovis North is lead by 6-foot-6 tight end David Wells, a San Diego State commit.
Annabel Stephan, West Field Reporter
Saturday: San Diego (Calif.) Madison at Monrovia (Calif.) at 7:30 p.m.
Monrovia (12-2), the reigning CIF Southern Section Mid-Valley Champion, will make it's first bowl appearance this Saturday as the Wildcats face off against the 12-1 Warcats in the Division III Regional Finals. Madison's offense features a pair of Arizona commits in running back Pierre Cormier (5-11, 180) and wide receiver Lee Walker (6-0, 160), who both verballed to the Wildcats in August. Scout calls Cormier, a three-star prospect, "one of the most explosive backs in the region." Monrovia receiver Mason Bryant, a 6-foot, 175-pound prospect, leads the team's offense. Bryant saw an increase in his recruitment over the season, picking up offers from Air Force, Army, and Ohio, as well as offers from six of the eight Ivy League programs: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Pennsylvania, and Yale. This season, Bryant has led his team in every receiving category and has focused more on the season that on recruiting, keeping his options open and waiting to take visits. The Wildcats' defense features a pair of Division-1 bound linebackers: George Frazier (MLB), a 6-foot-3, 235-pound player committed to Colorado, as well as Brett Walsh (OLB), a 6-2, 215-pound Northwestern commit. Cornerback Anthony Craft (5-10.5, 170) holds offers from San Jose State, UNLV, and South Dakota State.

History and general information
Morrow County, created from Umatilla County in 1885, is located east of the Cascades in north-central Oregon. It was named for J. L. Morrow, an early resident. Morrow County contains more than one million acres of gently rolling plains and broad plateaus. This rich agricultural land can be roughly divided into three occupational zones—increasing amounts of irrigation farming in the north, vast fields of wheat yielding to cattle ranches in the center, and timber products in the south. With the advent of center pivot irrigation technology, Morrow County became one of Oregon's fastest growing areas in terms of population, personal income, and agricultural and industrial development. The Port of Morrow, second largest in the state in terms of tonnage, serves as a gateway to the Pacific Northwest and Pacific Rim markets.

I have a 637 jframe, great gun. You could always go with a .357 jframe and then you still have the option to shoot .38. Not really a pocket gun though, at least with the jeans I wear, looks like I have a sandwhich in my pocket. Works good in ankle or IWB holster. Also nice for the car.
I also have a P3At and it is truly a pocket gun, fits in the great or easily in a ankle holster. My dad has a Ruger LCP, pretty much the same gun but add 50 bucks to the price. I think Kel-tec has built a nice little reputation plus a great service center. I would be a little worrie about a ruger lcp shooting me in the leg when I drop it (heh like the SR9). All great guns though, but for a true pocket gun, I would go with the P3AT for sure.

Contraction Slows Noticeably
With a reading of 48.1, Gardner's MBI showed that the metalworking industry contracted at a much slower rate in September.
Steven Kline, Jr.
Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner Business Media
Director of Market Intelligence, Gardner Business Media
With a reading of 48.1, Gardner's MBI showed that the metalworking industry contracted at a much slower rate in September. The index was 3.2 percent higher than it was in September 2012. This was the first time the month-over-month rate of change grew since April 2012.
While every subindex moved lower in August, in September each moved higher and contributed to the slower rate of contraction. New orders reached its second-highest level since March. Production barely contracted, reaching its highest level since May, and the backlog subindex was also near its highest level since March. Employment, exports and supplier deliveries also contributed positively to the overall index. Employment barely contracted for the second month, exports contracted at a slightly slower rate, and supplier deliveries lengthened for the third straight month.
Material prices increased at a constant rate in September. Prices received moved to modest growth from very modest contraction. Future business expectations also improved but are still at their second-lowest level of 2013.
One of the most important reasons for the slower contraction was the significantly higher index for facilities with fewer than 50 employees. These small shops have seen bad business conditions throughout 2013. While they still contracted in September, the index for small shops reached its second-highest level since March.
All nine regions had contracted for three months, however in September, New England grew and the Mountain region remained flat. The East North Central and Middle Atlantic saw minimal contractions. The West South Central contracted faster for the second month, and the East South Central remained the poorest-performing region with its second month in a row of an index below 40.
Future capital spending plans were up 3.0 percent compared to last September.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger has warned Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's admirers not to expect too much too soon from the teenager.
The summer signing from Southampton has made a fine start to his Arsenal career, scoring on his first two starts against Shrewsbury Town and Olympiacos before delivering another precocious performance in the Carling Cup defeat to Manchester City.
Oxlade-Chamberlain's pace, direct running and eye for goal have been evident at England Under-21 level too, so much so that he has been tipped as a possible inclusion in Fabio Capello's squad for Euro 2012.
Wenger believes the 18-year-old has huge potential but he does not want him weighed down by expectation.
"I would like to see [him go to Euro 2012] but let's go step by step," said the Frenchman. "I think in England you always take the fast track. To go to the European Championships you need experience in the Premier League so it is important he gets that first.
"He is not far [from being ready for the Premier League]. At the moment we have been quite consistent with the team we put out because we are on a good run and have had no injuries.
"I believe he is still in a period where training every day with top players is important for him to improve. He has quality when he plays in games - he is not fazed by the importance of them. He's the kind of personality that makes you think he can play on the big stage.
"You have seen him already before Christmas and I have no restrictions at all. For me, if I need him he will play. I don't think it is too early for him to play anymore."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Smart, articulate and dynamic are just a few ways professors describe graduating music major and English minor Meeka Opong. Taking her talents in music to Clarksville, Tenn., Opong will pursue her Master of Music in Vocal Performance at Austin Peay State University on a full tuition assistantship.
At UST, Opong is president of the music fraternity Mu Phi Epsilon, Gamma Tau Chapter, a member of the Filipino Student Association and a student in UST's Honors Program for four years. She presented her Honors Program research of the arts and the human person at the 2013 Research Symposium. Even with so many interests, Opong appreciates how far she has come vocally, and her work with Dr. Brady Knapp, head of choral and vocal studies.
"When I came to Dr. Knapp, I hadn't had that much classical training," she said. "I started exploring opera and developed a healthier technique. He's helped me grow as a performer, singer and as a whole."
Knapp, assistant professor in the UST Music Department, said he has had the good fortune to work with Opong through vocal studies, choral ensembles and every semester during the Opera Workshop.
"She is a compassionate human being and an intelligent student who is well loved by the music faculty and her peers," Knapp said. "Meeka's people skills, charisma, talent and determination to succeed will serve her well in graduate school. I am very proud of all that she has accomplished while at UST."
Her accomplishments are quite extensive too. Coming to UST from St. Agnes Academy in Houston, Texas, a Dominican college-preparatory school, Opong received several scholarships including the V.J. Guinan Presidential scholarship in her freshman year and Parish Scholarship Program, in which St. Thomas matches paris`h scholarship contributions. As a first generation American whose parents attended college in the Philippines, Opong was grateful for the funds and delighted with the activities available as an undergraduate.
"I've gotten roles as an undergraduate that I wouldn't have gotten in larger programs because they go to graduate students," Opong said. "I've worked with professionals and seeing that high quality of performance was great as a young developing artist. Also, being on this campus allows us to work with sacred music, which I love. The opportunities you get at UST musically are incredible. I'm very grateful to all of my professors in the music department, especially Dr. Knapp, because without them I wouldn't be here."
Opong said though the musical culture of Houston is diverse and vibrant, she is intrigued by studying in a different city for the first time.
"My goal in my master's program is to hone my vocal technique," she said. "In about two or three years, I hope to be a finished product, but I've got an amazing start at UST. The music department is just full of fine professors who are invested and dedicated to students, but I can say that of all the professors at the University."
Opong will leave for Tennessee in early August to begin her work with Dr. Sharon Mabry, who held a master class on campus in April.

Junior Jesse Kelso (East Aurora, N.Y.) was named to the Capital One Academic All-District First Team on Friday afternoon. Kelso is the only player from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference to receive the honor in 2013.
A biology major with a 3.55 grade point average, Kelso ranks second on the team with a .336 batting average, .469 on-base percentage and .536 slugging percentage. Kelso leads the team with 36 runs scored, 26 walks and four triples. The 5-foot-10 outfielder also ranks second on the team with 30 RBI, eight doubles, 11 hit by pitch and 11 stolen bases.
Kelso is one of four outfielders in District 1 to be named to the First Team and now advances to the national ballot for Capital One Academic All-America voting. The Canisius baseball program has had four Academic All-Americans in the last three years – Drew Pettit in 2011 and 2012, Sean Jamieson in 2011 and Ian Choy in 2010.
Canisius (32-12, 9-6 MAAC) plays its final MAAC regular-season road series this weekend with a three-game series at Siena. First pitch for Saturday's doubleheader is set for noon.

'"Not only could the plight of the Senators and the Sabres be used as a way to get a salary cap, it should be used," said Marc Ganis, president of SportsCorp Ltd. and a sports finance analyst. "The problems with many teams out there is that there is no connection between salaries and revenues and teams are losing 15 to 20 percent of their asset value in operating losses each year. If you do that for more than a couple years, you have to file for bankruptcy."'

When life gets a bit too heavy around my shoulders, when daily existence feels so, well, daily, I begin to dream of that certain gold light in old paintings, and I know it's time for Museo del Prado. I know it's time for a hit of Velázquez. And El Greco and Goya and van der Weyden and Bosch—all chased by a single-malt Scotch at the bar of the Hotel Ritz.
There have been times when I've embarked for Madrid with no place to stay; when I've booked the next flight into Spain's spangled air and boarded the plane with only a pack slung on my back so that I could head straight to the Prado and worry about room and board later, as evening fell.
I get lucky in Madrid. I count on that. It's the faith of a devout believer. I leap into the void and know that not only will I be saved, I'll be found. The spirit of the city is that of an aging courtesan, someone so secure in past conquests that she wears her age and diminished vitality with a grace that has at its core the certain knowledge that if she felt like it, oh if only there were time and libido, she could do it again.
I fall into the fantasy. I honor it. I, too, slip into an unreal life. I stay at the Ritz, which I can ill afford. It seems only right to sleep on linen sheets, to tread lightly over handmade carpets, to drink hot chocolate poured from a silver pitcher in a place commissioned by Alfonso XIII, who was embarrassed by the lack of comparable hotels to those in Paris and across Europe. The fin de siècle fantasy, supported by marble columns and festooned with crystal—crystal everywhere—is in line with what awaits across the backyard: a collection of paintings that has caused me on occasion to swoon.
The first Prado destination is always Rogier van der Weyden's "Descent from the Cross." And my first response is always the same, relief. It's still there. I've been startled by my own voice saying loudly, "Phew! You're still here!" Where did I think it would go? But that is the nature of love. One is deeply grateful for—yet amazed by—fidelity. Then onto Hieronymus Bosch's tender triptych, "The Adoration of the Magi," with its central panel capturing the essence of miracle: How it happens when nobody's looking, when someone's fighting a war or going to market. How something amazing occurs at just that moment when we avert our eyes. In the foreground the three magi pay reverent court to a naked, fragile child. Peasants scramble up a tree to get a better view from the stable roof. And in the distant countryside men charge into battle and wander to market and the sun shines as it has on any other day.
I visit Madrid by myself to diminish the chance of an averted eye. It is a city that requires my full attention. My full silence. It is a city that is known through taste and sight. I have spent three days in which the only words to cross my lips were, "Grilled fish, please." Where the silence is so complete that my footsteps are the only sound as I return to the Ritz at midnight through narrow streets steeped in sleeping memories of a former vigilance, when the city served as a Moorish fortress in a no-man's-land between the Christian north and the Islamic south.
At midnight the hot blood that once fired conquistadores, missionaries, and explorers sparks again in a lonely lament sung over a sole guitar in the smoke-filled basement of Café de Chinitas. Here, I take in the music and dancing of the Andalusian gypsy culture, powerful enough to conquer the human heart.
And then back to the Ritz, where I recline on cool linen sheets and the day goes into rerun—experiences caught forever behind closed lids.

'Leafs fans are, to the consternation of Sabres fans, a zealous, fanatical bunch. They reside in all corners of the country and pledge their unyielding support. A good number will make the trek to Buffalo this Thursday, devouring tickets at inflated prices, because it's cheaper than dealing with the local scalpers and trying to finagle their way into the Air Canada Centre. Being a Leafs fan means doing whatever you can to see a game, wherever you can see it.'
Leafs' fans, players patiently wait for glory's return

From HaskellWiki
- what i would like is a meta-tutorial
- a list of questions about haskell, what does this do, do you understand this etc
- and if you say no, it points you at a tutorial which explains it -- ndm on #haskell
One size does not fit all! The meta-tutorial aims to help you find the Haskell tutorials that you need. Note that from our description of things, some tutorials might seem "too easy" for your level, but they might be worth checking out anyway, for example, because they are particularly clear or well written.
1 Haskell in general
1.1 You are new to programming
1.2 You have experience programming
- You are new to functional programming
- You have programmed in other functional languages before
- A Gentle Introduction?
- Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours
- You just want to see what Haskell looks like at a glance
- Simple unix tools
- A Tour of the Haskell Syntax
- How to read Haskell
2 Monads
- You are new to Haskell
- You don't mind Haskell syntax, but you don't neccesarily feel comfortable working with monads (for example, with do notation)
- You learn best by doing exercises
- You learn by metaphor or analogy
- You understand category theory and you want to know what's the link between category theory monads and Haskell monads
3 Practical stuff
- You want to write a real life application or library
- You want to build a graphical user interface
