Prices are going up everywhere, including the concession stands at the baseball fields! I didn't plan ahead before going to my son's baseball game, and it cost me dearly. Unfortunately, there weren't any stores close by and the game was about to begin so I didn't have a choice, I was going to have to visit the concession stand. I flinched as I paid $1.50 for a very small bottle of Powerade. The bottle was so small, that I had to purchase two of them for him, so that was $3 quickly wasted.
As I sit here and review the ads for this week I can't help but notice that a 24 pack of water is just $2.79 this week at Walgreens. If I plan ahead and purchase a case of water that would be a $33.21 savings. (24 bottles of Powerade at $1.50 each = $36. $36-$2.79 for the water = $33.21 savings). My son more than likely will not want "plain" water. Lucky for him I have also found another deal at Food Lion to solve this dilemma. If you purchase three participating items you save $3 instantly. Mio Water Enhancer is part of that deal and there is a $1 coupon out (SmartSource, Feb. 26). The final price when I purchase three Mios and use three coupons will be $1.99 each, which is still a $31.22 savings.
Hopefully some of you Savvy Shoppers out there will be able to take advantage of this deal. If you have children going off to college in the near future I would highly recommend stocking up on bottled water.
Recently I have received several emails from readers asking for help or clarification on a variety of things. Here are some of their questions and I share them hoping it may help some of you beginners out there. Even if you are an experienced couponer, some of these may clarify questions you may have.
When a store doubles coupons, what does this mean exactly?
When a store doubles coupons it means that the coupon will be worth twice its value. For example, if a store doubles up to 50 cents that means that a 50 cent coupon will have a value of $1. The discount will show up on your receipt as a 50 cent discount twice, you will not see the $1 come off all at once.
Which stores double coupons?
Thankfully we have many stores that double coupons in our area.
The following stores double a coupon's value on a daily basis:
Kroger - doubles up to 50 cents
Publix - doubles up to 50 cents (except in South Carolina)
Piggly Wiggly - doubles up to 99 cents (Limit of 10 coupons will double per day; limit of 4 "like" coupons will be doubled)
Bi-Lo - doubles up to 60 cents. (Limit of 10 "like" coupons may be used)
Harveys - doubles up to 50 cents (limit of 10 "like" coupons may be used)
Harris Teeter - doubles up to 99 cents
These stores have a special day when they double:
Kmart - doubles up to $1. Wednesdays and Saturdays (limit of five coupons per day; limit of four "like" coupons. Minimum purchase of $25 is required). Watch for special promotions in their ad, lately Kmart has been doubling everyday.
Freds - doubles up to 70 cents on Saturday. (Limit of one "like" coupon)
What does "stacking" coupons mean?
Stacking coupons is a term commonly used to refer to using one manufacturer coupon and one store coupon on the same item.
Which stores allow stacking?
• Publix
• Walgreens
• Rite Aid
• Kmart
• Dollar General
• Family Dollar
• Target
Kroger definitely does not allow "stacking." Food Lion and Harveys will occasionally allow stacking. Your mileage will vary by the store.
I have a "Buy One Get One Free" coupon and the sale is "Buy One Get One Free." How does this type of sale work?
Rite Aid is the only store in our area that will not allow you to combine this coupon with the Buy One Get One Free sale. You will need to pick up two items for each coupon that you are using at all of the other stores.
CVS and Walgreens - both items are free. You will receive one free from the manufacturer and one free from the store.
Kroger, Food Lion, Harveys, Bi-Lo, Publix, Piggly Wiggly - These are not true "Buy One Get One Free" sales. Each item will ring up at 50 percent off. Example if the sale is "Buy One Get One Free" save up to $4, you will pay $2 for each item. When you combine the coupon with the sale it will take off an additional $2. You will end up paying $2 for $8 worth of merchandise, a 75 percent savings.
I have a "Buy Two Get One Free" coupon and the sale is "Buy Two Get One Free." How many do I have to purchase to use my coupon?
You will need to purchase three for each coupon that you are using. You will end up receiving one free from the store and one free with the coupon. In the end you will only pay for one. Please note that Rite Aid will not allow you to use this coupon when it has this type of sale.
If a coupon has an expiration date of April 30, can I still use it on the 30th?
Yes, the coupon is good until midnight on the 30th. The first day the coupon would no longer be valid would be May 1.
What do you recommend that I use to organize my coupons?
You need to find a method that you find easy to maintain. I prefer using a binder. I store my coupons in baseball card protector pages in the binder. These can be found at Target, Walmart, comic book stores, or ordered online at www.amazon.com. As far as the type of binder, I recommend the 3- or 4-inch Case It binder. You can find these at Staples or order them at www.amazon.com. Currently I am using two binders, one for food coupons and one for non-food coupons.
I have requested countless samples and have only received a few. Does this ever happen to you? Can you recommend any free sample websites that are reliable?
Occasionally I will sign up for a free sample and it never arrives. Thankfully this doesn't happen very often. You definitely want to avoid websites that make you review special offers or take surveys to earn the sample. In most cases these are spam, you will never get to the end of the survey and the free sample never arrives.
I recommend visiting both Target's (http://samples.target.com/) and Walmart's (http://instoresnow.walmart.com/In-Stores-Now-Free-Samples-and-Savings.aspx) free sample pages.
All You magazine has a great newsletter that sends out daily freebies, or you can visit its website here http://www.allyou.com/coupons-deals/daily-free-samples-00411000069695.
Vocal Point and Bzz Agent are two great sites which send out full-size samples or coupons for free products. Keep in mind that they do not always have samples and you will have to either check their websites frequently or sign up for their e-mails to be notified when a new sample becomes available www.vocalpoint.com and www.bzzagent.com.
Facebook - if you have a favorite product be sure to "like" the company on facebook and check its website for samples. I also post free samples on the Savvy Shopper Facebook page www.facebook.com/savannahsavvyshopper.
Can you recommend some Internet printable websites for me?
I recommend the following Internet printable websites:
• www.savannahnow.com/coupons
• www.coupons.com
• www.smartsource.com
• www.redplum.com
• www.couponnetwork.com
• www.kelloggs.com (Click on offers and promotions)
• www.pillsbury.com/coupons-promotions
• www.verybestbaking.com/Coupons-Promotions.aspx
If I am ordering something online do you recommend E-bates?
E-bates is an online shopping tool that rewards you with a percentage back off of your total purchase price. (www.ebates.com) The percentage awarded varies by store. They send you a check quarterly. If you are shopping online the smart thing to do is to check E-bates to see if the store you are ordering from is a participating E-bates store. (Currently 1,500 stores are participating). Keep in mind that even when you go through E-bates, you are still able to use coupon codes, free shipping codes etc. A similar program is Shop At Home www.shopathome.com.
Send your tips or questions to Savvy Shopper Michelle Rubrecht at email@example.com or post them to her on Facebook on Savannah Savvy Shopper.

Friday, October 07, 2011 - Paul and Yuri - Raunchy Sex
Paul Fresh, who first came to us about 3 years ago recently decided that he was prepared to do guy-guy shoots. So we paired him with newcomer Yuri Bulakov for a Raunchy Duo. The scene, filmed on location, starts with Paul leading a blindfolded and cuffed Yuri into the room and pushing him down on his knees. Paul then sits down to enjoye a cigaratte and read the newspaper. But before he really does any reading he decides he needs a drink. Placing the rim of a glass in Yuri's mouth Paul opens a bottle and pours himself a drink. Which he duly despatches quite quickly and repeats the process for another, but Yuri is moving and spills the drink over his chest as it is being poured. Paul uses a foot to rub the drink over Yuri's body and after a little trouble pushing his toe into Yuri's mouth, to be sucked. After some toe sucking Paul standsa grabs Yuri's head and pushes it into his groin. Then he opens his pants releasing his cock, which needs a relieve itself. Making Yuri hold a large glass Paul proceeds to piss into it. It's a half liter glass and Paul almost fills it with a nice stream of piss. Taking the piss from Yuri Paul now pushes his cock into Yuri's mouth to be sucked. His big cock quickly gets very hard as Yuri sucks it. He grabs Yuri's hair and pulls him onto that cock, making him gag and salivate as he sucks. He then turns around and pushes his ass into Yuri's face, making him rim his hole. Paul decides that Yuri should be naked, so he strips him and then starts to slap at his chest and his cock. We can see that the cock is swelling as it is being slapped, and soon it is fully erect. Paul grabs it and starts wanking on it, while inducing his tongue into Yuri's mouth. Strapping Yuri to a round turntable, with straps for arms, legs, wrists and ankles Paul continues to wank him and play with his nipples. He spins the table one complete turn, which confuses Yuri somewhat, and then he spins half a turn, so that Yuri is upside down, with his cock at a very convenient level. Paul sucks on that rock hard cock and pressents his to Yuri for sucking too. Yuri is then removed from the turntable and is bent over, so that Paul can insert a small butt plug in his ass. Then he takesa cat-o-nine-tails and proceeds to whip Yuri's ass. It is not long before Paul decides that Yuri should be taken to the next step, and pushes his throbbing cock into Yuri's tight hole, and starts to fuck him. Paul likes it so much he wants more and turns a blindfolded and gagged Yuri over and fuck him some more. Having got his pleasures Paul allows Yuri, now without blindfold and gag, to shoot a very hot load, before dropping his own load over Yuri and pushing his spent cock into his mouth. Both guys did a great job in this scene and I am sure we will be doing more work with each of them very soon.
Tibor Vachil is from Plzen and is aged 20. He is self-employed and enjoys sports, friends, music and hockey. Tibor looks great as he sits on the couch for his interview, shirt open and jeans rolled up. He starts to rub his chest and groin, dipping his hand into the jeans for a feel, releasing the top button of the jeans for easier access. Then, when he is hard in those jeans, he shucks them down and his big fat cock flops out. His hand grabs it and wanks, then he leaves it standing to attention as he rubs his body some more. Tibor then stands and we see that his balls hang nice and low as he plays with his nipples as well. Off comes the shirt and that cock is sticking out delightfully. Good to see that Tibor is unshaved down below, and under his arms. His cock head glistens as he wanks himself and then he turns around to expose his ass to us. He spreads his cheeks and his hole is fully exposed, and it looks quite open too. Tibor then lays across the sofa and wanks himself as some oil is dripped onto his torso. Then a helping hand starts to massage the oil into his body. A smile keeps appearing of Tibor's face as the hand does its work, going up and down his chest and onto his legs. The hand takes hold of that big cock and starts to wank it, and then Tibor wanks himself as the hand explores further, under his balls, which elicits more smiles. Some very gentle tickling under the balls and on his hole really gets a lovely response from Tibor. Then he moves down the couch slightly so that, with his legs in the air, he ass is fully exposed. As he wanks that rock hard cock the hand teases his ass some more and then tickles his feet before leaving Tibor to continue his wank. He then moves onto his knees with his ass pushed out so we see more of his hole, with his cock pushed backwards as well. The helping hands spread Tibor's cheeks for a great view and push his cock up against that tight pucker hole before leaving him to wank himself to a very nice climax. Then it is off to the shower for him. What a lovely guy Tibor is, and what very good video shoot. I like him very much and hope he will consider more work.
Myland Forman, Pavel Holub and Vilem Zeman feature in a totally remastered version of Prague Buddies Scene 2. This scene is now in full DVD quality, which really shows it to full effect for the first time. The scene starts with an football match(not soccer). Vilem is one of the players and receives an injury during play. He is taken to Rehabilitace, the medical centre for sports injuries, accompanied by Mylan. Pavel Holub comes out to see who has arrived. He is the medic who will check Vilem's injury. He takes Vilem into his room, leaving Mylan in the hallway. Mylan occupies his time reading a paper, but is interested in what is happening in the next room. He keeps turning his head towards the door, and wondering, until he cant bear it anymore and moves to the door to peep through the keyhole to see what he can. He can see that Pavel is working on Vilem's ankle, so he resumes his seat. But it is not long before his curiousity gets the better of him again and he returns to the keyhole. Pavel is still working on the ankle, but moves around and starts massaging Vilem's leg, with his hand dipping into the shorts as well. Vilem is nervous, as he watches and goes back to his seat, until he has the idea of locking the outside door so that no-one can enter, and starts his peeping again. He sees Pavel's hand is in Vilem's shorts and he removes his jacket, as Pavel's mouth goes down on Vilem's hard cock. As Pavel sucks on that cock Mylan continues to watch through the keyhole, at the same time stripping himself so he is naked with his back to us. His hairy ass in view with his hand wanking on his cock, which is getting hard from watching. As he watches he sees Pavel pull his own hard cock out and start wanking. This really turns Mylan on and his hand goes to his ass, with a finger slipping into his hole. Then Pavel climbs on top of Vilem and starts to fuck his cock against Vilem's as Mylan watches and wanks. Mylan cannot help himself now, he is so turned on that he stands and opens the door, slowly and looks inside for a better view. Slowly he moves to the guys who respond to him and starts to suck on Pavel's hard cock as Vilem wanks himself. All the guys are very turned on and Mylan gets underneath Pavel to suck his cock as Pavel sucks Vilem. Pavel then moves around and starts to fuck Vilem's tight ass. Mylan pushes his cock into Vilem's mouth too, for some sucking and then kisses him long and slowly as he is being fucked. Mylan then stands up snd Pavel and Vilem kneel beside him to suck his cock. But Vilem wants more and he sits on Pavel's cock and rides it, feeling that thick dick deep in his ass. Vilem wants more too, so Pavel then fucks him again, in a missionary position until Mylan wants to feel Pavel's rampant dick again, so he takes Vilem's place and Pavel obliges by shoving his cock back into that hot hole. Mylan is ready to blow and shoots his hot load, Pavel follows suit in quick succession. The guys haven't finished yet though, and the three of them lay next to each other and have a wank off with both Mylan and Pavel delivering more juicy loads. what a great scene this is, and how great to see it in this dvd quality version, after only having it in low quality on the old site, so many years ago. It was a delight to see it again.
Marek Piska lives in Prague and is aged 21. He is currently unemployed and enjoys fitness and cooking. What a handsome guy Marek is, and with a lovely body too. Clearly the time in the gym works for him. He does a very good stills shoot here, posing well and getting his fat cock nice and hard for us. He also gives a very good show of his ass, cheeks well spread, very nice indeed. I will look forward to seeing his erotic video.

Message Queuing Options for .NET
- Share

Read later
Reading List
When building larger scale applications, message queues are often very helpful for both distributing and aggregating workloads. Distributed workloads are a natural fit for message queues, simply having multiple readers attached to the same queue is often enough. Aggregation, usually implemented with one reader and multiple writers, is used to bundle lots of small updates into a large block. This facilitates the use of advanced database techniques such as the use bulk inserts instead of individual insert/update statements.
In the .NET ecosystem there are several options available for message queuing. This article highlights some of the more popular and unique offerings as well as the basic terminology needed to evaluate them.
Queues: Queues are quite easy to understand. One or more writers add messages to the queue and one or more readers remove them in the same order. Queue are designed so that each message is delivered to one and only one reader, though the strength of this guarantee varies by product and the settings used.
Topics: The concept of topics may be new to .NET developers who have only used MSMQ. Unlike a queue, this uses a publish/subscribe mechanism where in each message is available to be read by every subscriber to the topic. The use of topics can be is very convenient for sending control messages, but care must be used to prevent a slow reader from fouling the topic for all other readers. Again, the exact effect of a slow reader varies by product and the settings used.
Transactions: Just like databases, message queues often support transactions. The usual semantic is messages are hidden, but not removed, between the time the message is read and the final commit is received by the server.
Durable Messages: A durable message is one that can survive a system reboot. For some types of messages this may be absolutely essential, while for others the performance cost for durable messages may exceed the benefits.
Service Bus: The term service bus is rather nebulous and it is often used to cover a wide variety of products and features. In the context of message queuing we are referring to products that extend the capabilities of a message queuing library.
Microsoft Message Queuing or MSMQ is a venerable product dating back to the Windows NT 4 era. It offers a wide variety of bindings including C++, COM, straight .NET, and WCF. MSMQ doesn't support topics, which severely limits the design patterns one can use without a lot of development effort. For this reason developers often consider layering a service bus such as MassTransit or NServiceBus on top of MSMQ. For those who need the upmost in reliability, this product has the ability to support Windows-style distributed transactions.
ActiveMQ from Apache is a popular choice for those looking cross platform support. The primary means of communicating with ActiveMQ is Apache's OpenWire protocol. This is advertised as their high-performance client with bindings for Java, C, C++, and .NET. Another product called Stomp is recommend for accessing ActiveMQ from Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP, ActionScript/Flash, and Smalltalk. ActiveMQ is fully compliant with JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4 and offers both queues and topics. This product supports JMS and XA style transactions.
ZeroMQ is a very lightweight message queuing product. Unlike the other products it doesn't have a stand-alone server; messages are sent directly from application to application. It is designed to offer very high performance, Mike Hadlow was able to show ZeroMQ runs at least 10 times faster than MSMQ or ActiveMQ using 1K messages. It does this by sacrificing the reliability features built into the other products including durable messages and distributed transactions. Like ActiveMQ this is available for most operating systems and languages.
WebSphere MQ: This is actually a family of messaging products from IBM that include support for "HTTP, REST, File Transfers and JMS". Formally known as MQSeries, it is the only product on our list that requires a separate commercial license. (MSMQ is part of Windows, the rest are open source.) Dating back to 1992, this product is as old as MSMQ but has been seeing far more active development. It can be found on virtually every server-class operating system still in use and has bindings for everything from COBOL through .NET WCF.

Um, I would call it Visual SourceSafe ;)
Ok, good point, and thanks for updating the article. Part of the fault lies with IBM marketing. They decided to latch on to the "websphere" name, and renamed all their MQ products to use the word "WebSphere". But it's an excellent product.
.NET applications should be using the NMS API for messaging.
Hiram Chirino
It's maintained by the Apache Software Foundation so it's open source and actively maintained. If your favorite messaging solution does not have a NMS implementation, and you want to use it from .NET, push that vendor to implement a NMS API binding! Avoid him locking you in. :)
Microsoft BizTalk Server
Leo Gan
If you mentioned IBM WebSphere, the BizTalk must be in this list.
Then maybe it worth to tell about Queues in AppFabric (Windows and Azure).
And the verdict is...

ZeroMQ is lightweight because it is low-level
Jared Smith
I write here because you said "It [is fast] by sacrificing the reliability features built into the other products including durable messages and distributed transactions." I believe this unfairly compares ZeroMQ's intentional sparseness with heavier protocols. It is quite simple to build distributed transactions in a lightweight manner on top of ZeroMQ, and it does have durable messages.
Thank you for the article, it opened a door for me to understand how to integrate true messaging into my C# and PHP skillset.

Is the Sky Falling? The Quality of New Recorded Music since Napster
Prof. Joel Waldfogel's essay in Digitopoly.
By Joel Waldfogel On Nov 15, 2011
Since the appearance of Napster a dozen years ago, intellectual property rights have effectively been substantially weakened. Unfettered stealing has caused revenues to the recorded music industry to tumble by roughly a third. While this reversal has prompted academic chin-scratching over its cause, most observers now agree that consumers' ability to steal music undermines firms' ability to sell it. The woes of the recorded music industry, along with fears of the movie, television, and book industries, have led many to advocate stronger legal protections for intellectual property, including private lawsuits, and threats of disconnection from Internet service.
While the question of whether stealing undermines selling is of vital interest to the recorded music business, it is arguably not the only important question for evaluating the success of intellectual property rules. The purpose of copyright laws is to provide incentives for the creation of new works. Weakened intellectual property protections present a threat consumers as well as producers: if producers cannot appropriate sufficient revenue to cover their costs, they may stop bringing new products to market, causing harm to consumers as well as producers. Keeping this in mind focuses attention on a different question: what has happened to the volume - and quality - of new works since Napster?

What is a Reason ReFill?
A ReFill is a kind of component package for Reason that can contain patches, samples, REX files and Song files. On your computer, ReFills appear as large files with the extension \".rfl\". Storing audio samples in a Refill will significantly reduce the size of the files, with no loss of audio quality. The advantages of ReFills are obvious; third party manufacturers can produce downloadable sample collections for Reason for example, and it simplifies exchanging samples in general.
Samples (Wave and AIFF files) are compressed to about half their original file size when stored in ReFills. With ReFill Packer, you can \"pack\" patches, samples, Song files etc., into one self-contained file. In Reason, you can use the browser to list and access the embedded sounds and other components within the ReFills. just as if the ReFills were folders on your hard disk.
Where can I get ReFills?
ReFills are available from a lot of places including Dolphin Music. Most companies who make, sell or distribute samples make their samples available in ReFill format. The Propellerhead produced ReFills Strings (a high quality collection of live played strings) and Reason Drum Kits (an extensive library of life-like, multisampled drum kits) are also available.
How can I make ReFills?
The ReFill Packer
To create your own ReFills, you need the ReFill Packer. It lets you build ReFill files for sharing samples, loops and synth patches with other users. ReFill Packer is available as a free download to all registered Reason users and can be found in the Reason download pages.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who sat in the Denver debate audience where Barack Obama met up with Mitt Romney, isn't looking back when asked about the lackluster performance of the president last week.
In a San Francisco Chronicle editorial board meeting Wednesday, the San Francisco Democrat was animated, passionate — and positively fired up about Vice President Joe Biden's scheduled Thursday Kentucky hoe-down with Rep. Paul Ryan, the GOP vice presidential candidate.
We captured Pelosi on the San Francisco Chronicle/SFGate.com Shaky Hand Production videocam, asking her about her personal reaction to the Obama debate from her bird's eye seat in Denver.
And, we asked about her words of wisdom for Biden as he prepares for the 6 p.m. PST 90-minute showdown — a big one with very high stakes.
Here's her take:

The Star Wars films are back in the cinema once again, this time in glorious 3D, and what better way to enjoy and celebrate the fact than by embracing the merchandising machine and buying a stack of toys to let you enjoy the film beyond the cinema screen?
As you might expect toy companies are falling over themselves to embrace the Force. So, here are the best Star Wars toys to look forward to this year:
Scalextric Star Wars Death Star Attack and Scalextric Start Star Wars Battle of Endor
The two biggest toy brands of your childhood; Star Wars and Scalextric are joining forces in 2012 bring us the Micro Scalextric Star Wars Death Star Attack set that will cost £69.99 and the Scalextric Start Star Wars Battle of Endor which costs £99.99.
The first sees you and a mate trying to knock each other off the track in a split time trial race X-Wing versus Tie-Fighter, while the second features a bigger 1/32 scale track system racing as Luke Skywalker and the other as an Imperial Scout on the Speed Racers from Return of the Jedi.
RC Jumbo Inflatable R2-D2
The RC Jumbo Inflatable R2-D2 stands 26-inches (65cm) tall and is controlled in much the same way as a normal remote controlled car giving you an almost life-size, life-like R2-D2 for your home.
Coming out in Q3/Q4 this year (autumn/winter time), the RC Jumbo Inflatable R2-D2 is expected to retail for around £40 and should give you plenty of fun around your house. Blaze, the makers of the remote control droid, also say that other characters will be coming too. Sadly Princess Leia doesn't come in the box for dads.
R2-D2 phone safe
When we were kids our secret storage was an old shoe box that we had coloured in with some felt tip pens, but that's old hat, today's kids want something a little more high-tech.
In steps the R2-D2 safe that is unlocked by your iPhone, iPod touch or Android smartphone. Rather than using the latest cutting edge technology like Bluetooth, Wireless or NFC, the app works by sending a receiver a series of lights as if it was Morse code once you've docked the phone.
That also means that you can work it with Android handsets as the company behind the new gadget told Pocket-lint that there is an Android app coming as well. The lack of expensive technology means that the safe will cost just £19.99 when it comes out in the UK in June.
It isn't as big as a shoebox, but it should be big enough to store some of your favourite (small) trinkets.
Darth Vader bedside lamp
We've already seen Lego Yoda and Stormtrooper lamps, but have you seen the Darth Vader one with glowing lightsaber? Thought not.
Due out later this year the Dark Sith will be happy to take a break from doing no good to lighting your kids bedroom come bedtime.
There are two versions available - one with the lights shining out of his feet, the other from the lightsaber. Both should be on sale in the coming months.
Yoda Air Hedz by Bluw
Air Hedz are the heads of your favourite Star Wars characters in giant size filled with air that you can then wear on your head. If that sounds simple and stupid enough that's because that's exactly what it is (as you can see by the picture).
Costing £11.99 all you've got to do is slip them on your bonse and you're ready to look like a dork. Just don't expect to be able to easily walk through doors. Those not impressed by Yoda will be glad to hear you can get Stormtrooper hedz as well.
Han Solo in Carbonite Silicone Tray
For Star Wars fans who feel that their lives aren't quite complete, this could well be the answer. Not only can you recreate the scene from The Empire Strikes Back where everyone's favourite intergalactic smuggler is placed in suspended animation for delivery to Jabba the Hutt, but you can also produce some spectacular ice cubes for keeping yourself tipple cool and impressing your sci-fi savvy mates at the same time.
The tray comprises one large "Han", which is very roughly the same size as an old-school Star Wars figure, along with six miniature versions and costs £6.49. We recommend you try it with chocolate rather than ice though for better results.
Operation Star Wars R2-D2 Edition
Hasbro is releasing an R2-D2 version of the popular game Operation that sees you having to use your steady hand to get out bits of droid rather than the odd funny bone.
"The Rebel Alliance's favourite astromech droid has developed all sorts of mechanical maladies, and it's up to your skillful surgical hands to get the little guy feeling right again," reads the official statement. The new game costs around £20.
Multi Troop Transport Droid Carrier
If you really want to go full out on the action toy front though you'll want the Multi Troop Transport Droid Carrier from Hasbro. In keeping with the dozens of other character action toys you can get, this is one mega set.
For those that need a quick refresher, it is the Droid carrier from The Phantom Menace that is used in the attack on Naboo. For £150 you'll get the Star Wars Class III MTT Vehicle and 20 Droids to attack rebel scum with. Three AAA batteries ensure that it makes plenty of noise. It will be coming in Autumn.
Star Wars Darth Maul Double Bladed Lightsaber
We've seen plenty of Lightsabers in our time here at Pocket-lint, but this new offering from Hasbro is the one that Darth Maul uses in the Phantom Menace and can be split in two for full fighting effect allowing you to either fight with two lightsabers or just the one double bladed option. Unlike the one that is currently on the market, this version lights up giving you that extra realistic effect. Scary.
Lego Star Wars Planets
The LEGO Star Wars Planets, priced at £9.99, are a series of planets from the Star Wars Universe that includes a model, display stand and name plaque all in a planet. There are three to collect with a further three designs coming in Autumn 2012.
Nicely each one has the ability to be hung up making them perfect for the Christmas tree later this year.
Lego X-wing Starfighter and TIE Fighter
Costing £99.98 for the pair, the two sets will allow you to recreate the famous sequence at the end of Star Wars after you've built the spaceships of course.
The 9493 X-wing Starfighter features wings that fold into attack position, proton torpedoes, retractable landing gear and opening cockpit and comes with Luke Skywalker, Jek Porkins, R2-D2 and R5-D8 minifigures.
The 9492 TIE Fighter is equipped with dual flick missiles and opening cockpit alongside a TIE fighter pilot, Imperial officer, Death Star trooper and R5-J2 droid minifigures.
Star Wars Fighter Pods
Think the Lego minifigs that you can buy blind in a bag for a couple of quid and you'll get the idea. Here, instead of a Lego character to build, you get a plastic character from the six Star Wars movies that lives in a clear plastic Death Star like pod. There are over 100 Star Wars Fighter Pods to collect suggesting you could be here for some time.
Those that don't like to take a gamble can, of course, cut corners by buying one of the many sets Hasbro is selling where you can see what you are going to get. Star Wars fans will be able to buy a 4-pack, 8-pack, 12-pack and even a mega 16-pack to guarantee a complete set.

3 Faculty Members Win INFORMS Research Award
Gupta, Curley, and Adomavicius honored for "CoCoA - Continuous Combinatorial Auction"
Professors Alok Gupta and Shawn Curley and Associate Professor Gedas Adomavicius recently won the 2011 INFORMS Information Systems Society Design Science Research Award for their work, "CoCoA - Continuous Combinatorial Auction." The award, shared with Pallab Sanyal, '09 PhD, now an assistant professor at George Mason University, was presented at the December Workshop on Information Technology and Systems, held in conjunction with the International Conference on Information Systems in Shanghai, China.
The four researchers developed a comprehensive research stream in which they designed, built, validated, and evaluated a bidding environment to facilitate the adoption of complex combinatorial auctions, where bidders compete for bundles of goods.
This research aims at lowering the cognitive burden on users so that combinatorial auctions can be implemented in practice and the marketplaces can benefit from its beneficial properties. The work follows the design science paradigm and uses a combination of computational, economic, and behavioral approaches, including lab experiments.
The research produced a stream of publications and was funded by the National Science Foundation.
Each winner will share a prize of $1,000 made possible by the INFORMS Information Systems Society and the University of Arizona's Management Information Systems Department.

The latest snapshot of the U.S. working class shows that unions are in trouble, their ranks thinning amid a backlash against organized labor and a still sputtering economy.
But California and a few nearby states in the Southwest are showing a vastly different picture — labor's ranks are on an upswing. The Golden State's union organizers signed up more than 100,000 new members last year, while the nation as a whole shed 400,000, according to data released Wednesday.
The reason: Latino workers.
After working hard to get here, many Latino immigrants demand respect in the workplace and are more willing to join unions in a tough economic environment, organizers say.
"There's an appetite among these low-wage workers to try and get a collective voice to give themselves opportunity and a middle-class lifestyle," said Steve Smith, a spokesman for the California Labor Federation.

Ethiopia to Accelerate Action Plan to Improve Maternal HealthNov 8, 2013
The Accelerated Action Plan on Improving Maternal Health in Ethiopia was validated and endorsed today by the Ministry of Health at a national conference in Addis Ababa.
Dr Taye Tolera, Special Advisor to State Minister Dr Kebede Worku at the Ministry of Health, recognised that the challenges on improving maternal are very complex and will require actions from different sectors to be addressed.
In Ethiopia, the slow progress on Millennium Development Goal (MDG 5) on improving maternal health is a cause for great concern with recent data and trends placing Ethiopia as one of the countries with the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world. The 2010/11 Demographic and Health Survey indicates that Ethiopia has made limited progress to reduce maternal deaths over the last decade. There is some concern that the trend might be reversing; The maternal mortality ratio declined from 871 deaths per 100,000 births in 2000 to 673 in 2005 , however, between 2005 and 2010, the maternal mortality ratio marginally increased to 676 per 100,000 live births in 2010.
"Advancing better health is a gateway to development progress, lifting economies and societies. Meeting a woman's need for sexual and reproductive health services will increase her chances of finishing her education, and breaking out of poverty," said Mr Eugene Owusu, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Representative, emphasising the importance of fast-tracking actions for reducing maternal mortality in Ethiopia.
Experts drawn from the Government and various UN agencies have been able to adapt the MAF methodology to the Ethiopian context, and to identify systematically bottlenecks and prioritize acceleration solutions to speed up progress on MDG 5.
Dr Taye Tolera explained that Ethiopia has noted that the rate of achieving MDG 5 varies across geographic regions and socio-economic groups in the country and concluded that "we have to be strategic in taking these variations into account in our plans. The MDG Acceleration Framework provides us an opportunity to do just that."
The MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF) is an important tool increasingly used by countries to identify and remove barriers to MDG achievement. The MAF was developed by UNDP in 2010, and is supported by UN Development Group, with around 50 countries applying it to help them drive efforts to overcome the bottlenecks preventing progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

Would you join the ride
When you cross the line
And be right by my side
I will be the one
That will make you fly
So come on join the joyride
Tell me what I do, tell me what I do
One to one that I want to groove
Tell me what, what I want to do
I wanna ride, I wanna ride with you
I'm with Will on this one. Unlike riders known for doping, Fabian Cancellara has been very consistent in the improvement in his performance over the years, along with his tendency to blow up on hills. He is certainly the best flat time trial rider of this generation and a hard worker for his team. Anonymous@8:04: I seem to recall that Cancellara beat the field in the Monaco time trial at the TdF, and still managed a pretty close second at Annecy after dragging the Schlecks and the rest of the Saxo Bankers around France for two weeks when Contador was protected. I am all for giving cheaters the boot but I think great performances should be recognized as well. Cancellara, on his home turf and in the form of his career, powers to a huge win. Let's see the evidence that shows otherwise if suggesting he doped.ReplyDelete

Hard Disk problem- Zen Xtra starts in Rescue mode
Dear All,
I need some help. I am not a gadget person.
Last week I was recharging my MP3 ( Zen Xtra) over night.
When I woke up, I found the MP3 LCD light on and the MP3 felt quite hot.
So I removed the power supply and the battery from the MP3.
When I put back the battery to restart the thing, "Rescue mode" screen appeared.
1)Clean-up: No effect
2)Format All: Did not try as I have lots of songs inside the MP3
3)Reload OS: "Hard Disk problem" message appeared.
4)Reboot: Kept returning to the Rescue mode screen.
Using the USB, I tried to connect to the PC but no response. So
I wrote to Creative for help and they gave me the following link
which I could not understand.
I downloaded the MP3 Player Recovery Tool but it could not detect my player too.
After a few emails with their Helpdesk,
1) they asked me to confirm if I have Windows XP sp2 installed which my PC already have.
2) They got me to install ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_10_03.exe to update the flimware to solve the problem. This time, the MP3 did response but it prompted me to upgrade to flimware ver 2.10.03 but there was a warning message which said that upgrading it would mean that all my data would be erased.
Can someone advise me how to solve the problem without losing the songs/data inside my MP3?
Anyway to backup the songs? Please help. Thanks
Additional info: Current flimware ver:1.20.08

Tonight we hung out at the Dub Club Tiki Bar for the annual Echo Beach end of summer special. A bit different kind of Echo Chamber — as we'll actually played some rock 'n roll: that twangy, instrumental surf rock one expects to find at all great tiki bars. Then, once the martinis were well shaken, we'll gott into some cool old school soul and R&B. We were really cookin' now, and the Tiki Bar lounge was heavy with kali smoke…so we cooled things down with a variety of lounge sounds, world sounds, weird electronica, and swanky jazz. Some deep Zen meditation followed the martinis and kali…as we aired part 2 of the In the Garden of Dub Mix I put together. This dubwise mix celebrates the pleasures of gardening, the roots of life, and the seasons of nature.
What a full show of new releases, roots classics, and an excellent summer guest mix. Tonight we debuted the latest Easy Star All-Stars project: Easy Star's Thrillah, which is of course Michael Jackson's "Thriller" reimagined with a rootical reggae groove. Another debut tonight was the first single from Snoop Lion (AKA Snoop Dogg). On top of that we had new releases from Full Dub, Citizen Sound (ft. Ammoye), Mista Majah P, Dub Rifles, Sammy Gold, DJ Zdena vs. The Temptations, Doktor Lond (ft. Agarfa), Dub Colossus, YT, and the new Culture retrospective on VP Records. Tonight's guest mix was put together by the dubmeister Haji Mike for our pal TurnTableTerrorist (Terry C) at "Echo Beach", WLUW-FM (Chicago).
Another crazy night of dubwise fun in the Echo Chamber… Kicking things off with the choice new JBB in Dub from John Brown's Body on Easy Star. This was followed by Lord Hissayas' excellent "Nazirites Sounds vol. 1" on KingDub/Nazirites. Also new tonight: the tasty Orangewood Sessions 7" EP from Relaxo; the cool new "Sumud" album from Niyaz (Six Degrees); Diabel Cissokho's "Kanabory Siyama" on World Village; Morgan Heritage's new "The Return" (on VP); "The Observer in the Star House" from The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry; and "Easy Star's Thrillah".
Well, we've had a couple singles for a few weeks, but tonight we finally debuted the new The Observer in the Star House album from The Orb & Lee Scratch Perry. What a cool combination of musical wizards… Also making its debut tonight, Adrian Sherwood's new Survival & Resistance (on ON-U Sound). Following these releases, was Steve Steppa's cool "Zohar Inspired Dubplates", and then the M.A.K.U. Sound System with their "Makumbala" album. More new releases from David Powell Experience, Dada Afrik & Kalcia, Rebelution, Marlon Asher & Stef Kalloo, John Brown's Body, A Tribe Called Red, Fatoumata Diawara, Relaxo, and Byutifu! Also tonight, to celebrate the new "Easy Star's Thrillah" album, we did a Motown/Detroit set, alternating tracks from "Thrillah" and I-Plant's "BlackSoulRemix2" Motown mash-up album, and finishing with a cool cover of the Spinners "I'll Be Around".

MOBILE, Ala. -- The shaved head Eagles fans glimpsed from news helicopter footage just one short week earlier was covered by a Jacksonville Jaguars cap Tuesday, as Gus Bradley stood on the Ladd-Peebles Stadium turf and reflected on a dizzying NFL hiring process.
Nine days previously, Bradley had run the Seattle Seahawks' defense in their playoff loss at Atlanta, the day after Bradley first talked to the Eagles about their head-coaching job. Bradley acknowledged Tuesday that he was preoccupied with the looming playoff game that first time around, talked to the Eagles only briefly.
A week ago though, Bradley flew from the Seattle area to Northeast Philadelphia Airport with thousands of Eagles fans tracking his flight online. He stepped off the plane to a waiting SUV with news helicopters hovering, and they also recorded his arrival at Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie's Wynnewood mansion.
At the time, Eagles Nation was fixated on the "Gus Bus," and whether the Birds would be able to sign Bradley before he left for an interivew the next day in Jacksonville. Only the Eagles' brass, Chip Kelly, and Kelly's agent, David Dunn, knew Kelly had reentered the field, and that the Eagles were negotiating with Kelly as they entertained Bradley. Lurie has said that he only told Bradley the Eagles were involved with another candidate, who "had head coaching experience."
Did Bradley, like most of Philadelphia, think that night he was close to getting the job? The Eagles have said they would have hired Bradley if they couldn't have gotten Kelly.
"I didn't know," Bradley said after Tuesday's North team practice at the Senior Bowl. "I knew that they just needed some time. My whole intent was to go down to Jacksonville and see what that was all about. Once I got on the plane and was headed there, I forgot about Philadelphia. I knew that would come in time, their decision, and I really wanted my focus to be to do a good job down in Jacksonville."
The "Gus Bus" Philly hysteria "was crazy," Bradley said, laughing. He said that after he landed, he was told the intense media interest was why his chartered jet was diverted from Philadelphia International Airport to the Northeast.
"It was flattering," he said. "I think it wasn't me, it was just the possibility of a new head coach."
Bradley said he learned he wasn't getting the Eagles' job in a Wednesday phone call from Lurie. He said he never knew Kelly was the other finalist.
"We had a great conversation," Bradley said. "I thought they handled it first-class. The whole process and how they dealt with me, I couldn't ask for a better opportunity and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed getting to know what they were looking for."

SEED School
The SEED School at Lipscomb Academy
A unique Christian pre-K (three-day and five-day), kindergarten and pre-first environment where young minds Seek, Explore, Experiment and Discover the world around them.
The first few years of learning set the stage for the many years of learning to come. At Lipscomb Academy, we believe these early years contribute to children's development of many essential skills that support social competence and creative problem solving, as well as foster a love of learning that endures for a lifetime.
The Seed School at Lipscomb Academy is an innovative approach to pre-K and kindergarten that creates a unique environment where children are encouraged to be inquisitive, adventurous and creative, while learning from caring teachers in a safe setting and developing a belief and relationship with God that will carry them into adulthood.
We expect children to think critically and act responsibly, and in doing so offer them the room they need to thrive in unique and challenging situations, as well as grow in ways that will make a world of difference as they move into first grade and beyond.
At the Seed School children seek, explore, experiment and discover in ways that encourage and embrace knowledge, as well as individuality, in wonderful and exciting ways. Let us introduce you to our school...a place where we nurture growth, feed curiosity, develop roots and reach new heights.
Planting seeds and nurturing growth.
These first years are important to you. And they are important to us. It is during this time children have the greatest capacity and appetite to learn. And we take pride in being a part of their education as well as their daily lives. At the Seed School, our entire program seeks to support and nurture young children—and their families—in a safe and welcoming environment as they begin the journey of becoming life-long learners.
We are:
• Safe—we offer separate drop off and pick up; a separate playground; children are greeted daily at the door by the teacher; a certified RN is on campus; visible security
• Child-centered—developmental play and active learning centers; children's work prominently displayed; child-friendly access to materials
• Warm and welcoming—loving dedicated teachers; bright cheerful rooms; shared common space
Feeding childhood curiosity.
The innate curiosity of each child is the beginning of learning. We transform this curiosity into a passion for learning, creating independent and enthusiastic students. Our teachers implement research-based curriculum where curiosity and questions develop into hands-on learning experiences.
We value:
• A university connection—learning partnerships with Lipscomb University that include Institute for Sustainability's organic kinder "gardens," biology and chemistry student learning labs; School of Education-led trainings and research
• Experiential learning—field trips (in house and off-site); learning gardens, thematic celebrations; technology tools (iPads®, interactive whiteboards; document cameras in classrooms); hands-on science labs; Orff musical instrument instruction
• An inquiry-based approach—curricular studies influenced by student questions and interests; an environment that fosters problem solving, critical thinking, creative reasoning and contextual learning
Developing strong roots.
Our faith and belief in God is an important part of our school and the way we teach. As young learners, that belief is an important part of how they learn. As students get older they are guided to develop their own faith and relationship with God. Children actively participate in daily Bible activities, prayer, praise and service learning. We feel the strength of a plant lies in its roots, as does the strength of a child. The spiritual and character formation of children is central to our school's daily practices and mission.
We believe in:
• God—integrated Bible curriculum; weekly all-school chapel; on-campus Director of Spiritual Formation
• Service Learning—as children advance in grades, hands-on service learning projects; partnerships with Mission Lazarus
• Home and school connection—parents are invited to be a part of their child's education; on-site parenting seminars
• Guidance programs—Steps to Respect curriculum; Olweus Bullying Prevention program; on-site guidance counselor
Reaching new heights.
Lipscomb Academy is a college preparatory, academically-rich coeducational school that has become the largest of the almost 100 private schools in Middle Tennessee. We have a proud heritage of education, service and competitive spirit.
We promote:
• Academic achievement—certified teachers (75% with advanced degrees); 100% of kindergarten students are reading by the end of school year
• Enriched opportunities—after school explorations; reading specialist and learning enhancement programs
• Special areas: music, library, Spanish, physical education and art led by certified instructors
• High expectations—language, reading and math readiness are core components of the program; understanding science through the world around us and importance of living in a community with others are taught intentionally through our children's inquisitive nature
Come grow with us.
We have planted the seeds for what we believe will be the leading educational pre-K and kindergarten school in the area. Be a part of what we have started and grow with us as we seek, explore, experiment and discover. For more information or for a tour of our school, contact Jennifer Watson at 615.966.6330 or email@example.com.

Actor James Van Der Beek Says He was Assaulted by 'Older, Powerful Men' in Hollywood
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal, actor James Van Der Beek took to Twitter Thursday to confess he is also a victim of sexual assault by Hollywood execs.
"I've had my ass grabbed by older, powerful men, I've had them corner me in inappropriate sexual conversations when I was much younger..." the "Dawson's Creek" star tweeted. "I understand the unwarranted shame, powerlessness & inability to blow the whistle. There's a power dynamic that feels impossible to overcome."
Van Der Beek, 40, also tweeted about the Weinstein scandal directly.
"For anyone judging the women who stayed silent, read this for perspective. Also for anyone brushing off harassment as "boys being boys," he wrote. "What Weinstein is being accused of is criminal. What he's admitted to is unacceptable - in any industry. I applaud everybody speaking out."
Van Der Beek's comments come not long after "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor Terry Crews took to social media to discuss his own account of sexual harassment from a male Hollywood exec. Read that story here.

The fast-growing pussy willow has long been admired for its strong, spreading, upright stems, colorful autumn leaves and iconic purplish-brown catkins that appear in late winter/early spring. The furry catkins are striking on the bare stems, appearing between seasons when gardens can seem rather blah.
Grown as either a small tree or large shrub, this specimen's blooming branches are also widely used for decoration.

I really enjoyed the opportunity to take on leadership roles on campus through student organizations and through residence life. The friendships I developed as a Resident Assistant and Hall Manager are ones that I will cherish forever. All students should get involved in as many things as they possibly can. While the classroom prepares you for your career path, the interactions that you have outside of the classroom will prepare you just as much.

The cloud naturally represents the future of file storage beyond physical media, but the landscape is a little bit like International waters at the moment. Anything goes and everything is up for grabs.
Google and Microsoft have recently made bold moves towards commanding the arena this week, aiming to battle some of the early dominance away from pioneers like Dropbox, which continues to improve its service and lurkers like Apple, Sony and Samsung.
Google's service comes in the form of Google Drive, finally announced after months of speculation, which offers 5GB of service for free and up to 1TB for a considerable monthly fee, along with a host of neat sharing options.
SkyDrive is Microsoft's solution. The name has been around for a couple of years now, but Microsoft has significantly enhanced its offering, making SkyDrive an entirely new proposition.
And of course there's Dropbox, the reigning champ, which recently updated its referral space (which worked retroactively), and has made important updates to its service ever since. But can it fend off the competition?
Let's take a look at which service offers the best option for you.
Google Drive vs Microsoft SkyDrive vs Dropbox: Storage and pricing
As we mentioned, Google is dangling the carrot by giving all Google account holders a free 5GB of Drive storage for your documents, photos and more. The company claims: "That's enough to store the high-res photos of your trip to the Mt. Everest, scanned copies of your grandparents' love letters or a career's worth of business proposals, and still have space for the novel you're working on."
But its also savvy enough to know, that in this age, 5GB isn't really enough. You can update to 25GB for a mere $2.49 (£1.54) a month and we'd imagine that'll be the most popular option. Power users can grab 100GB for $4.99 (£3.08) a month, while a 1TB in the cloud will cost $49.99 (£30.80).
Perhaps mindful that Google will only be offering 5GB, Microsoft has cut its free SkyDrive allowance from 25GB right down to 7GB. Existing users will be able to adjust their account settings to hold onto that free storage, but new users will get just 7GB.
Microsoft also opts for yearly price plans with 20GB for $10 (£6) a year. 50GB for $25 (£16) a year and 100GB for $50 (£32) a year.
Dropbox has the smallest initial offering at just 2GB. Fortunately for the thrifty, Dropbox referrals allot users an additional 500MBs, all the way to 16GB.
Of course, if that's not enough you can purchase additional plans - conveniently offered with month and year pricing. 50GBs will run you $9.99/month (£6) or $99.00/year, or 100GBs cost $19.99/month (£20) or $199.00/year (£123).
For the enterprise users, Dropbox has the only comprehensive option - the recently unveiled Dropbox for Teams, which start at 1TB for $795/year (£491) for five users, and an additional $125/year (£77) for each additional user.
Google has the advantage in terms of pure personal storage stage (it has also upped Gmail free storage from 7GB to 10GB), but Microsoft's existing option is cheaper and offers more free space.
Microsoft has upped its file upload maximum size from 100MB to 300MB, whereas Google makes no mention of a maximum upload size within its launch documents, so that remains to be seen.
Dropbox has a 300MB maximum upload size via the website, but it has no maximum file size through the desktop client.
Google Drive vs Microsoft SkyDrive vs Dropbox: Sharing
Google has attempted live document collaboration before with the failed Wave experiment. That feature lives on in Documents and forms a major part of Google Drive.
You can work with colleagues on a document and all changes will be synced back to Drive, while comments can be left on any files stored using the service. You can also receive notifications when changes are made to documents for which you have permissions.

RSL, Colorado set for another derby meeting
Commerce City, CO – Just three weeks after meeting for the first time in the 2013 season, Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids will renew acquaintances at Dick's Sporting Goods Park on Saturday for the latest installment of the Rocky Mountain Cup.
The first meeting between the two clubs this season ended in a 1-1 draw at Rio Tinto Stadium thanks to Alvaro Saborio's equalizer 10 minutes from time.
The home team has not lost in Rocky Mountain Cup action since 2007 when Real Salt Lake knocked off Colorado with a 1-0 win at DSG Park.
It has been and up-and-down start to the 2013 campaign for Real Salt Lake. The Claret and Cobalt opened the season with a 2-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes before falling to D.C. United at RFK Stadium. They rebounded with the draw to Colorado, but followed that up with a 2-0 loss at FC Dallas.
Now, after earning a 2-1 defeat of Seattle Sounders FC last weekend, RSL will be looking to claim points in back-to-back matches for the first time this term. The form of Javier Morales could be a key factor is helping the club achieve that feat.
"We know how valuable Javier is," said RSL head coach Jason Kreis. "We know how gifted he is with the ball. We know that if we want to be an elite club in this country and in this league we are going to need a player like Javier Morales to make differences. So it's good to have him back on track and moving forward."
Colorado, meanwhile, is still searching for its first win of the new season. The Rapids were well-positioned to claim three points last time out as they held a two-goal advantage in the second half, but the Portland Timbers stormed back to earn a 2-2 draw.
The Rapids are one poor result away from equaling their worst start to a season. The club's worst opening came in 2003 when they began the campaign with a winless record of 0-5-1 through the first six matches.
In order to prevent that from happening, Colorado will rely heavily upon Dillon Powers and Edson Buddle.
Powers, the 11th overall selection in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, scored his first professional goal against Portland last weekend, hitting an absolute scorcher into the upper corner from distance.
Buddle, a seasoned MLS veteran, made his Rapids debut last weekend but is still regaining his sharpness as he makes his way back from knee surgery.
"I felt like it was my first game back," said Buddle in measurement of his progress. "A little unfit, not as explosive, repetitive running as I'd like to do. I think the guys behind me did a great job of filling on the space for me, the ground I couldn't cover."

It's never been easier - or cheaper - to legally dispose of unwanted paint in San Joaquin County.
It's never been easier - or cheaper - to legally dispose of unwanted paint in San Joaquin County.
So why are people still dumping this hazardous waste along roadsides or even into creeks and streams?
About 500 gallons of paint was illegally abandoned last year, according to two dozen separate reports from the California Emergency Management Agency.
And the first case of 2013 is already on the books. On the afternoon of Jan. 4, a passer-by found four containers of latex paint sitting on the side of Woodbridge Road a mile east of Interstate 5.
None of the paint spilled.
But that's not always the case.
Last February, in an especially egregious example, paint containers were hurled off a bridge into Mosher Slough northeast of Stockton, bursting open and splattering across the channel.
Abandoned paint and used motor oil are among the most common situations investigated by the county's Environmental Health Department, said program coordinator Kasey Foley.
"It seems silly that we have to do this every week," she said, given the disposal options that are available.
More than three years ago, San Joaquin County started a program allowing residents to drop off unwanted paint for free at stores across the region.
Today, even more locations have been added under a new state program. For the first time, every city in San Joaquin County has a place residents can take paint, said Kimbra Andrews, a management analyst with the county's Public Works Department.
Residents and businesses can also deliver paint to the county's Household Hazardous Waste facility near Stockton Metropolitan Airport. It's free for residents; businesses face a $20 processing fee, but other costs are now being waived, Andrews said.
Bottom line: "There shouldn't be any need for dumping anymore, because this shouldn't cost anything," Andrews said.
The programs are helping, she said, despite the reports of misbehavior.
"I do think the illegal dumping should stop eventually," Andrews said.
She spoke earlier this week at the hazardous waste facility, where a man in a white protective suit with a respirator over his face was processing cans of paint that will be sent to a recycler for use in other products.
Anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 pounds of paint arrive there each week. Paint that still appears usable is set aside in a small room where members of the public can come pick out what they need, free of charge, three days a week.
In that sense, every gallon of paint dumped into a creek is a gallon of paint that could have gone to a constructive purpose - repainting your bedroom, perhaps. The 500 gallons abandoned or dumped last year is about equal to an entire week's worth of paint dropped off at the hazardous waste facility.
It's not clear who was responsible for last year's most heinous creek dumping, Foley said.
"We're keeping our eyes open to see if it starts up again," she said.
More routine incidents, however, of paint cans abandoned in remote corners of the county have continued, despite the new programs.
"I don't understand it," Foley said.

Record Description
The records include an index and images of taxation records as recorded with the County Auditor of each county. Entries are recorded in voucher books, one person per page. Included are the following Ohio counties:
- Ashtabula
- Belmont
- Carroll
- Columbiana
- Guernsey
- Harrison
- Jackson
- Jefferson
- Monroe
- Trumbull
- Washington
Governments created tax records that vary in content according to the purpose of the assessment. Most are based on personal property, real estate, and income. There may be gaps of several years in the tax records of some counties. Numerous families lived in Ohio and owned taxable property.
For a list of records by localities and dates currently published in this collection, select the Browse.
The records in this collection cover the years 1800 to 1850. However, the majority are from the years 1816 through 1838.
Tax records are based on the property owned by people. Only the person who owned the taxable property was listed on the tax record; other residents, living on the property, were not listed.
Tax records are considered a primary source. They are usually reliable because they are kept by the county clerk in the local courthouse, who usually recorded the event at or very near the time it occurred.
The information given in town land records is generally reliable, although there may be errors made in transcribing the town's copy from the original deed.

How to Use the Record
To search the collection image by image select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select the appropriate "County"
⇒Select the appropriate "Township"
⇒Select the appropriate "Year" which takes you to the images.
Tax records are usually used to supplement census records. Begin your search by finding your ancestors in the index to the assessments. It is helpful to know the following information:
- Name
- Residence
- Time period
Use the locator information in the index (such as page number or assessment number) to locate your ancestors in the assessment rolls. Some on-line indexes, such as indexes to FamilySearch Historical Records, will take you directly to an image. Compare the information in the assessment to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct person. You may need to compare the information of more than one person to make this determination. Be aware that as with any index, transcription errors may occur.
When you have located your ancestor in the assessment rolls, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. These pieces of information may be new details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors.
For example:
- Tax assessments identify the name and residence of the taxpayer. This information can help you locate land records and census records.
- The description of the real estate, number of acres owned, types of buildings, identifiable personal property, and the farm animals can help you determine an occupation: someone living at a church is probably a minister; someone with several acres of land or many farm animals is probably a farmer; someone living on the same property as the school may be a teacher; someone living above or behind a store is probably a merchant.
- Known occupations can lead you to other types of records such as employment, school, or church records.
- Following an ancestor through the assessment rolls can help you establish a family migration pattern or identify the year an individual moved into an area or left the area.
- The assessment rolls can also indicate that an individual died. Use the last known tax year as an approximate death year. Use the death year and residence to locate death or probate records.
Some other tips to keep in mind are:
- It is often helpful to extract the information on all individuals with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related.
- Other family members may have lived nearby so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even a county.
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the assessment rolls.
