|Exposing Solr routing to SolrJ client
|Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:26:07 GMT
Hi I believe Solr(Cloud) is doing some internal routing of update-requests to make sure documents are stored in the correct core/shard decided by Solrs internal routing algoritm (I believe it basically finds out who is the leader-shard for a given document, using shared information in ZK, info about the collection and hash(document.id)). All nice and cool. I also believe realtime-gets are not forwarded internally in Solr through this routing algorithm, and that it therefore is "impossible" to do realtime-gets from a client, because you dont know which core/shard to contact directly, again because you dont know the routing alogrithm. If Im wrong, it would be very helpfull with a few directions on how to do realtime-gets from a client to a Solr servers system containing many shards and collection. If Im right, I think it would be very nice if the the routing algorithm was somehow exposed to the client (in code reachable from SolrJ) so that you can get to do realtime-gets from a SolrJ-based client - if it should be done automatically for you of if the client using SolrJ explicitly needs to call some code to get info about the core to contact, is not so important for now. Such a solution would also make it possible to get rid of another performance related "problem", that most update-requests has to be transported among JVMs twice to reach their destination. First from client to some "random" Solr server, and then from this Solr server to the Solr server holding the core involved in the update. If routing information was available for the client it could make sure to route its updates directly to the core (the one currently playing the role as leader-shard for the shard to which the routing algorithm maps the document) involved in the update. ElasticSearch has a solution to this problem by the usage of "Node Client" (instead of just "Transport Client"), where a node client is basically a real node in the system that just doesnt store document, but which have all the logic and shared information like e.g. routing algorithm available - http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/java-api/client.html. It certainly doesnt have to be like that with Solr clients, but it would be nice if somehow routing logic where available to the SolrJ so that it can send its updates (and realtime-gets) directly to the correct destination. Hope to get some comments on this issue.

We love the challenge of finding the perfect song for your project. We offer some of the most cutting edge music available. The majority of our tracks are commissioned directly from the hottest independent bands, artists, and producers out there. We spend countless hours discovering the most innovative, forward-thinking and licensable music that we can find. From up-to-the-minute electronic music to the hippest indie bands, you can be sure that the music we offer is of the highest, industry standard quality. Every song in our catalog is pre-cleared and licenses can be granted immediately upon agreement of negotiated terms. Dog Bites Wolf continually strives to be your one stop source for modern music. We love working and look forward to working with you. Send us your creative briefs.
Publishing your music is extremely important. It is a step that many independent artists tend to neglect. Dog Bites Wolf publishes a majority of the music that we offer. This streamlines the licensing process. Not only do we pitch the music that we publish, we also handle the administration. Dog Bites Wolf will not pitch any music that is not published. We like to think that our involvement on the publishing end allows independent artists to continue to be creative without having to handle the paperwork. Bands and artists can then spend their time writing and producing while the publisher is working concurrently to find placements for the music.
Supervising a project can be extremely challenging. Finding exactly the right music, clearing it, and negotiating within the budget of a project can be a difficult task. We're up for it! Let us go to work for you. Utilizing our vast network of artists, labels, publishers, and composers, your project will deliver the energy and/or emotion you are looking for. Music can make an incredible impact once it is set to picture. We take this responsibility very seriously which is why we do not just aim to meet your expectations, we aim to exceed them!
Are you an independent artist or label looking to have your original music represented? Dog Bites Wolf is always looking for new music to pitch to current and future projects. We are selective with what we will represent in order to keep up the high standard we offer our clients. Please feel free to send us your info/demos, we'd love to hear them. Unfortunately, as much as we'd like to, we can't respond in detail to every submission. We do make a point to listen to everything we receive, and if we like what we hear, we'll be in touch. Be sure to include current contact information. Submission information is located under the "CONTACT" tab in the navigation bar.
What is artist development? Good question. We're pretty sure that each company that offers artist development would answer that question differently. At Dog Bites Wolf we view it as guiding and nurturing young talented artists and bands in each aspect of their career. Utilizing our experience and wisdom in the industry, we offer direction in every area from overall sonic qualities of the music, songwriting and song structure, style and presentation, marketing, and a variety of other services. Many bands, producers, songwriters, or solo artists just need a bit of guidance to take their music, their look, or their performance to the next level. We take a lot of pride in watching aspiring artists evolve.

When I think back through all the various costumes we've seen Batgirl wear, the one from the classic Batman series is my favorite. Yvonne Craig rocked the purple suit and so does cosplayer MaDeath. She fell in love with Batgirl when she saw her in the Adam West show and since MaDeath had the necessary skills to sew full superhero suits, she couldn't resist making this one. She did a fantastic job.

Stripe integration isn't working with form embedded in WordPressAsked by rudemechs on February 25, 2017 at 12:02 PM
stripe integration isn't working with form embedded in wordpress.com - https://rudemechs.com/offcenterteens/ - it just hangs at "please wait" after you hit submit.
This is a re-post of a comment on A Guide to Embed Forms for WordPress Users
JotForm Support
I have checked your web page and tried submitting the form using test credit card information. I see that the error message displayed as it should.
I see the form is embedded using iframe embed code on the web page and it seems to be working fine. If you are still experiencing the issue, we request you to change the embed method using the default Javascript embed and see if that works.
Please get back to us if the issue still persists. We will be happy to assist you further.
I changed it to iframe after I sent in the request for help. Iframe is
working okay - it's just very slow.
JotForm Support
Hello Lana,
Thanks for keeping us posted. It might be due to loading of multiple sources from different domains which may be contributing to the slow loading of your pages. With a faster internet connection, this may be quite insignificant.
But if you believe that you can make it load faster by loading the form locally, you can get your form's full HTML source and put it in a separate HTML file, and then change your iframe source on the page to that local HTML file. Using this method you will be loading sources all from your web page and still make submissions to your JotForm account.
If you have questions or other concerns, please let us know.

Attendance at a seminar or conference is sometimes compulsory for work or school, and you can properly prepare for the scheduled meetings and discussions if you know what is involved for each. Seminars and conferences often seem like similar terms, but specific differences exist between the two types of events.
The focus of a seminar is to educate a specific group of people on a particular subject; for example, a seminar for medical professionals may revolve around teaching a new treatment method. The participants must come away from the seminar with the knowledge, so attendees' progress sometimes is tracked individually or as a team.
Conferences focus on a specific subject or field of subjects, but the goal is not necessarily to educate. Conferences are typically a means to showcase new theories, methods and techniques in a particular field or professional group.
Programs Offered
Seminars have programs that are similar to those taught in classrooms and even small, focused presentations for learning. Attendees must attend particular seminars and typically have the option to sign up for other related discussions.
Conferences have various offerings. The programs and presentations relate to the main theme, but talks, group discussions and even debates may be available. Attendees either sign up for specific activities or follow the presentations on a set schedule provided by the organizers.
Attendance Size and Reasons
Seminars, because of the learning nature of the experience, typically have a smaller number of attendees than conferences. The smaller sizes allow the presenter to handle more questions and follow the progress of the participants. Conferences commonly target multiple branches or groups in the same field -- such as a nursing conference reaching out to nurses all over the state -- and have a higher number of attendees.
Seminars mandated by an employer or supervising authority help employees learn new rules or methods and show compliance with local or state continuing education laws. Conferences often are rewards or earned distinctions for those attending but may be mandatory.
A workshop is similar to a seminar but tends to be more hands-on and less of a lecture than a traditional seminar. Some seminars blend elements of both a seminar and a workshop to encourage attendee focus and participation. Seminars done over the Internet are commonly referred to as webinars.
Conferences often include presentations on recent developments in the relevant field, and special keynote speakers -- experts or celebrities in the conference's subject matter -- present findings.

Lots of extra space added to bottom of forms?Asked by 4rreeaall on June 06, 2014 at 04:51 PM
I just noticed that one of my forms suddenly has a lot more extra space at the bottom of it, and it previously didn't have this issue. I checked another form, and the same thing is happening. I believe this only started occuring in the last couple days.
How do I prevent the extra space at the bottom of my forms? I didn't change anything with the iframe code recently and I haven't edited the form in some time.
You can see the extra space on the form at www.VegasCashFlows.com
JotForm Support Manager
You must adjust the height:

You can adjust the height to your convenience. You can even set scrolling value to "yes" rather than "no"
If the problem persist, then please remove the script portion which came along with the original IFrame code from the builder:

Do get back us for further help, we are always here to assist you.
JotForm Support Manager
Just rectifying , you must set the max-height number as in the height number value

I replied right to your answer right away, but I don't know why it didn't go through.
Thank you very much for your help! It certainly worked.
One more question:
Is there a way to get rid of the padding between the top of the form and the beginning of the text ("Free Investment Info")? I would prefer not to have so much space there.
Thanks again!

It is highly recommended that TPP be upgraded to version 4.8 prior to upgrading DSAM firmware to version 4.1.
DSAM Firmware upgrade support:
DSAM 3.7.3 (and earlier versions) for XT and non-XT (original) meters:
- Deployable by all TPP versions.
- Exists as an XML and ZIP file with the same name, except for the file extensions
DSAM 3.7.4 for non-XT (original) meters:
- Deployable by TPP 4.8 and later.
- TPP 4.8 and later will not list (or allow selection) of any XT meters for deployment.
- This protects the customer from damaging their meter with the wrong firmware.
- Only exists as a ZIP file (no separate XML file)
- TPP 4.6 will not allow browsing to the DSAM 3.7.4 firmware, since there is no external XML file to find.
- If the XML file is extracted from the upgrade ZIP file and you attempted to use this for upgrade, you will get an error message and be prevented from deploying the firmware
DSAM 4.1 (and future/later versions): for XT meters only
- Deployable by TPP 4.8 and later.
- TPP v4.7 and later will not list (or allow selection) of any non-XT meters for deployment.
- This protects the customer from damaging their meter with the wrong firmware.
- Only exists as a ZIP file (no separate XML file).
- TPP 4.6 will not allow browsing to the DSAM 4.1 firmware, since there is no external XML file to find.
- If a customer extracts the XML file internal to the ZIP file, they'll get an error which still prevents deployment of the firmware.
DSAM Meter Option and BPI+ Certificate deployment support:
- All versions of these files (always with an XML and ZIP file pair) will be deployable by any version of TPP.
DSAM Upgrade Matrix (summary):
Firmware deployable by TPP

We all see the wonderful backdrops that help display cakes at parties, and a staple décor is the party fans ( giant folded circles). My question is has anyone at attempted to make these out of fondant?
1 reply
Hi Nina, I definitely wouldn't try making these out of fondant. I made fans (quadrants only, not even semi-circles) from fondant before and they were super chunky, ruining the effect. Gumpaste on the other hand would work really well because it is much finer, rolls out much thinner and you could create the folds much more easily. Good luck!

- "The Tale of Laughing in the Dark" has some funny moments.
Josh: You're an idiot, Josh! A plastic dummy can't hurt you. Stop being such a wuss and just do it!
- "Oh I heard of that, they call it 'bozophobia'."
- Wuigi's little sister hits Josh with a trashcan lid.
- When Josh tries to get Zeebo's nose, the clown moved a little, scaring Josh.
- All of Belle the genie's wishes going wrong on "The Tale of the Time Trap."
- Belle revealing that she was the cause of the Titanic sinking (someone back in 1912 wished to go on an exciting vacation), Mt. St. Helens' eruption in 1980 (a kid back then wished he could get out of going camping with his parents), and World War I (a reporter wanted a news story that would make him famous), but not World War II, but she does admire the work that went into it.
- Gilbert Gottfried as DJ Roy on "The Tale of Station 109.1:
- "Uh this is an interesting phenomena that's taking place. One person and then there's another one behind them all standing quietly one after the other. How do you suppose that is? IT'S A LINE! THAT'S WHAT IT IS! IT'S A LINE! WHY DON'T YOU TRY WAITING IN THE LINE???!!! Next?"
- "So I made a mistake and almost sent a small boy to his death! So what? None of you have ever done that before?"
- At the end of "Dead Man's Float", we see Kiki put a bag over Stig's head. Tucker then leads him away from the campsite, with the bag still over his head.
- During the reveal in "Tale of the Mystical Mirror", we learn Ms. Valenti is really a witch whose true form can be revealed in the reflection of ordinary mirrors. It even works on portraits of Ms. Valenti. Although it's never shown, imagine using a mirror on one of Ms. Valenti's pageant pictures.
- #GaryIsAWeatherman
- "The Tale of the Night Nurse" when the two girls bake a cake for the ghost Emily, since she died on her birthday. They blow out the candles, sarcastically saying "I wish we could make the ghost appear." Cue the titular nurse popping out of nowhere and the girls dropping the cake. Nikki then orders AJ to clean it up, which she does (all the while licking the icing).
- Kiki's appearance in a girly dress with her hair done. Rather than She Cleans Up Nicely, it looks hilarious. And when she's trying to dramatically start her story, she has to keep adjusting the skirt of her dress.

Ford Racing has plenty of interesting stats for you to chew on ahead of the NASCAR race at Darlington Raceway.
DID YOU KNOW? … Ford Racing driver Joey Logano is the only current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver to advance to the final round of qualifying for every event this season.
DID YOU KNOW? … Four Ford drivers have won back-to-back races at Darlington Raceway, including Nelson Stacy (1961-62), Bill Elliott (1985), Jeff Burton (1999) and Greg Biffle (2005-06).
DID YOU KNOW? … In 1985 Bill Elliott won the inaugural Winston Million bonus that then-series sponsor Winston put up for any driver who won three of the four "crown jewel" races in one season (Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600, Winston 500 and Southern 500). Elliott, who was later dubbed "Million Dollar Bill" and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, won at Daytona, Talladega and Darlington that year.

Has the disposal been replaced recently?
You may be able to use a hanger or other instrument and poke through the "gunk" and then run a couple fill and drain cycles. Nice work!
I can imagine! Vinegar and baking soda will help clean out the hose. Or some good ol' bleach!
When you go to reinstall that hose, be sure it goes up from the disposal fitting to a high loop then down. That way nothing from the disposal is allowed to drain into that hose.
That is why that high loop is so important. Very well done, nice work!
Saved yourself a $150 service call, too! Gotta love that!

It is one of the great conundrums of our age that television hosts - "Gobs on sticks", as they are known in the trade - are deemed to be important. This is certainly the case in the United States and it is especially true in American golf coverage, where someone like Johnny Miller, who "anchors" the NBC network's golf coverage, is treated with the kind of reverence Mount Rushmore gets from enthusiastic tourists.
Kelly Tilghman, who co-hosts coverage on the Golf Channel alongside Nick Faldo, is no Johnny Miller. The truth is she isn't very good. Yet. She has only been doing the job a year and seems a little edgy, a little to reliant on the vast swathes of statistics that some eager producer is no doubt thrusting under her nose. No doubt she could get better. If she ever gets the chance.
Last Friday, during TGC's coverage of the Mercedes Championship in Hawaii, Tilghman and Faldo started chatting on air about Tiger Woods's dominance and how other players might cope. Faldo suggested they should "gang up", to which Tilghman replied they should "lynch him [Woods] in a back alley". The exchange is currently posted on YouTube.
It was a stupid thing to say on any number of levels, the most significant of which lies in the cultural baggage that comes with the use of the word "lynch" when referring to a black person. It is an offensive word, redolent of the Klan and all its evil ways.
Tilghman apologised on air, although it took two days before she did so. But if she and her employers thought that was the end of the matter they were quickly disabused as complaints continued about the offensive nature of the comment, mostly notably from Al Sharpton, who called for her to be fired. "If I got on this show and said I wanted to put some Jewish American in the gas chamber, I don't care under what context I said it, the entire Jewish community has the right to say I should be put off this show or put off my radio show. This is an insult to all blacks. It's not murder in general, it's not assault in general, it's a specific racial term that this woman should be held accountable for," Sharpton said on CNN.
The world of golf is a Masonic little place (at least for those who have signed up to the club) so it comes as no surprise to discover many of Tilghman's colleagues, as well as some players, have defended her against Sharpton's criticisms. Tiger Woods has too. He and the broadcaster go back a long way, apparently. "I think Tiger really likes Kelly, so that helped squash it," PGA tour pro, and all-round loudmouth, Fred Funk told the press.
Not for the first time in his life Funk is talking utter rubbish. He fails to understand that while Woods was the subject of Tilghman's remark, he is not the ultimate judge of its offensiveness. Nor is Sharpton. The ultimate judge is the public and as far as it is possible to gauge the public's view, it was not impressed. Nor are Tilghman's employers, who have now suspended her for two weeks. It should have been longer.

Author | Ritu Midha | Tuesday, Nov 12,2002 5:33 AM
Its been a season of movies and the latest in the queue, the much awaited, much hyped block buster on Sony TV, Lagaan, saw audiences flocking to the channel. The movie, aired on Sunday 27th October saw ratings climbing to 10.55% according to latest figures released by TAM Media Services.
In spite of being on air for about five and a half hours, it managed a TVR of 10.55 % in the C&S 4+ audience, and a better 10.64% in C&S 15+,across 9 Hindi speaking markets.
Said a happy Sunil Lulla, Executive Vice President, Sony Entertainment Television, "We are extremely happy with the ratings that Lagaan has got. I think this is the highest viewership any movie on any channel has achieved in the last fifteen months. The way we promoted the movie and packaged it helped, not to forget that it is a really good film". He adds, "Lagaan was a good business proposition - it delivered for the advertisers as well as the channel."
Would it make blockbusters a more frequent phenomenon on the channel? Sony, according to Lulla, has been showing hit Bollywood movies on a regular basis even in the past, and it is not a new happening, "Sony has always had a strong catalogue of films. We have made an investment in it as we believe that it is an important stream to provide good reach to the advertisers, as well as give viewers a good viewing experience."
Zee, which launched its own set of blockbusters on Thursdays as a strategy to enhance its viewership. Does Lulla also believe that Bollywood movies work better than any other genre on Indian television? He says, "All movies don't do equally well - as is the case with original programming where not all programmes do well. However, having said that a good title has a lot of audience appeal, and hence helps in meeting the business objectives better. I would repeat, title matters a lot."
Meanwhile the ratings garnered by the latest Thursday movie on Zee, 'Om Jai Jagdish' (4.23 % in C&S 15+ across the nine Hindi speaking markets) do seem to substantiate Lulla's argument that the title matters a lot.
However, media fraternity feels that Lagaan getting TRPs of 10+ is no earth shattering record as "Humraaz did 6.5, and reached 10 in some of the important cities. Considering the fact that Lagaan was the biggest hit of the year and the price the channel must have paid for it - it is not a big achievement."
When asked if the success of the success of Bollywood movies indicated that they were the best medium to garner viewership, Says Suresh Balakrishnan, executive President, Initiative Media, "Sony has shown block-buster movies before as well - for example Border. And these movies must have made good business sense for the channel."
However, he adds, "Movies have been used as tactical tools for quite some time to get good business. But Zee, for the first time, is using them as a strategy to drive viewership. Movies like Mujh Se Dosti Karoge must have had full inventory but it used slots to promote its own programmes as well. And we would be seeing it as a growing trend in time to come." He also states, "More brands will look at movies seriously if the deal is for a longer duration rather than a one off blockbuster."

It is chicory, a wild herb, not a weed. The root can be used to make a coffee like drink. Just be careful not to harvest from roadside where the plant has been exposed to carbon monoxide from cars.

The characters are likable, the premise frightening, and the storytelling good enough to keep people entertained and scared for an hour and a half. My only real complaint about the movie is that it doesn't leave a lasting impression. Everything feels like it's missing a crucial ingredient that could have turned this from a good film into a great film. The characters don't feel fully fleshed out. Ya, some of their backstories are kind of told, but they feel rushed and forced in in some cases. The ghost woman is great, but she shows up too much in the film. By the time it's over, your used to seeing her and expect her to pop out in every scene like a jack-in-the-box. And probably the biggest issue is that the ghost shows up right from the get go. There's no build-up to her reveal, no real questions about whether she exists or not, she's just BAM right there. But in the end these are minor complaints. I definitely enjoyed the film a lot more than I expected and would recommend it to any horror movie lover. I just wish it had a bigger impact.
Lights Out
When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn't real when the lights went out...and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger...once the lights go out.
Movie Reviews
Good, not Great
Excellent horror movie!
I personally think this movie is one of the greatest horror movies ever! Teresa Palmer and Gabriel Bateman's acting is very good, absolutely credible, almost like Rosa Byrne's performance in Insidious, which was flawless. The cinematography was good, dark scenes pretty clear, intense sound effects well achieved. If you go to the cinema with your childhood fears, you will really enjoy this movie. It's full of scares and if you put attention to them, they are the kind of scares that you really fear when you are a kid. I don't understand why people cannot leave their critics-attitude at home and simply enjoy this movie or any other movie. If they do it, you'll enjoy it a lot.
A solid scare machine with an excellent finale.
84% Despite my enjoyment of the original short, I was not impressed with the trailers for LIGHTS OUT, which made it look like just another jump-scare laden, run-of-the- mill, exercise in mediocrity. To my surprise the pre-release buzz was overwhelmingly positive, and since I got chance to see it for free thanks to a screening pass, I had nothing to lose, and as it turns out Lights Out is one of the biggest surprises of the year. Is it still filled with jump scares? Absolutely, but these types of scares are not of the cheap variety. And what's most impressive is how debuting writer/director David F. Sandberg is able to repeat essentially the same scare over and over, but keeping each one fresh, exciting, and inventive. Save for many that have been spoiled in the advertising, it's the many more that haven't been shown that are the cream of the crop. Lights Out got me to scream out loud on more than one occasion, something The Conjuring 2 was unable to do. Ironically, Lights Out is produced by James Wan (director of The Conjuring franchise) and Sanberg outdoes him again and again, both in legit scares and intensity, a perfect amount of humor sprinkled throughout that isn't cringe inducing, and a visual style all his own that is at times flat out dazzling. Even if the film hadn't been as successful as it is, the technical aspects are faultless. Still, there are some flaws to be found. It's increasingly apparent that the frightening set pieces were at the forefront of importance when the script was being written, with the character and story depth taking a back seat. Though we do end up caring for these characters, it's mostly through their convincing performances rather than the writing itself. The origin story to the antagonist Diana feels rushed and a bit confused. We understand that something 'very bad happened' to her, and that there was some kind of accident. But unless I was zoning out, we don't get enough explanation as to what exactly happened and who she was, or why she turned out the way she did beyond the bare-minimum. The attempt at strained familial bonds and mental illness reminds one of The Babadook lite at times, but unfortunately Lights Out never reaches the level of that film's' thematic weight (save for a rather unforeseen turn at at end). Essentially, the story is nothing more than a clothesline to hang upon what the audience came for, the horror and thrills. These aspects certainly could have been a lot worse, and they don't necessarily drag the film too far down, but a second draft and more fleshing out would have been welcome. With that being said, Lights Out plays for a while as a solidly executed, entertaining, if not quite extraordinary horror for its first two thirds. Entertaining enough, but aside from the opening and a few scenes here and there, I was wondering why the film was being so hyped up (as of this writing it still holds a 100% score on RottenTomatoes with 13 reviews and counting). But the best is certainly saved for last. The final sequence is where the goods come and where the film raises itself up on onto another level. I'm telling you, it is absolutely RELENTLESS in it's escalating insanity, genuine suspense, thrills upon thrills upon thrills, and some great moments that had me both laughing and jolting in my chair. It's nothing short of exhilarating, and seeing it in a packed theater only adds to the fun. This finale is where the director finally goes full throttle and doesn't let up until the final shot. It makes a good film into a damned near-great one, especially for horror fans. The use of lighting is also tops, as the vicious monster can never appear in light, the different sources of light- from a lit candle, a fluorescent black light, head lights, flashlights, even gun shots- are all used ingeniously. The same goes for the darkness, as every time a light bulb flickers, or we are suddenly thrown into pitch black darkness, all one can do is hold their breath and grip their chair. As you know some bad news is about to go down. It really dives into that primal, childhood fear of the dark and may conjure up a few bad memories or two. I can't express it enough, the finale is worth the price of admission alone. Ultimately, while it may not be on the same level of my favorite horror films of the year (The Neon Demon, The Wailing, The Witch, to name a few.) Lights Out is pure popcorn munching horror fun. Ridiculously entertaining, gorgeously executed, and just a great time at the theater. Time will tell if it holds up on repeated viewings, but for now I definitely recommend every horror fan to give this one a watch opening weekend, preferably at night, in the most packed theater one can find. I eagerly await whatever David F. Sandberg does next.
See this if you want fun & scary
Just saw a screening of it. If you like horror I'd say go see it. It is a jump scare movie but there's some depth and story to it. Character development was great, actually get to care about them and want to see them make it out. Acting was pretty good. F/X were good. The only part that I didn't like was they did the explanation of the backstory by one character explaining it to another. I always hate when they do that, just seems lazy. The audience really got into it with a lot of people jumping and then a lot of giggles at themselves and others for jumping. Oh and in our screening the comedic relief of the big guy down front yelling "oh s**t" every time Diana jumps out. It reminded me of when I was a young teen and we'd get a whole group to go see the newest horror (F13,Halloween etc)You can't take it too seriously, just sit back and enjoy it. Overall I'd give it a 8/10 which is pretty good for a horror flick.
Creepy and satisfying
Lights Out takes some queues from Japanese-styled ghost stories, so it will be attractive to that audience. It has a strong chill-factor but a somewhat average formula, and it could have used fewer back-story explanations to make it more mysterious, especially since those elements did not feel original. Based on chill factor alone, it ranks higher than Dark Water, The Forest, Paranormal Activity, The Others, The Babadook, and The Boy, and lower than The Ring, Ju-On / The Grudge, and other Japanese-styled ghost stories, as well as any horror James Wan himself directs. Comparing it to masterpieces like The Exorcist and Poltergeist has no value. I would say its chills rank somewhat evenly with The Woman in Black and It Follows, without being as original as the latter. The ghost itself is creepy enough, but the overall movie didn't have the creative twists that we enjoyed from movies like The Boy, The Others, The Sixth Sense, and 10 Cloverfield Lane. It also didn't have the storytelling chemistry of James Wan's own Insideous or The Conjuring movies. I am a fairly difficult person to frighten. I have been seeing horror movies at the theater since the 70's, and I am usually only interested in the ones that have a supernatural or fantastical element to them. So I am very critical of them, and the only ones I collect on disc are either fun (Tremors), scary (the Grudge), or both (An American Werewolf in London). I will collect this one. Ghost stories are done to death. It is very difficult to come out with anything scary that is original. I think Lights Out could have used the guided hand of a third-party master horror writer, mostly revising the back-story revelations and using the character relationships to build suspense and mystery surrounding what is going on. Then, perhaps working up to a punch line at the end so that suddenly the back- story rushes in on the audience in one moment, with one simple revelation. It is very difficult to think of how that can be done, but other movies have done it, and the payoff is huge. I think Lights Out tried to do that a little but got confusing in the attempt. But all-in-all it's a nice little scary movie with a smaller production value but a satisfying ghost.

One of the most effective interventions to address severe childhood malnutrition and resulting deaths (estimated to be as much as 10 percent of children under 5 years old, every ten weeks) is treatment with ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) such as the peanut-based Plumpy'Nut produced exclusively by Nutriset, a private company in France.
Indeed, as reported in The Economist, some of the first shipments of aid into the hardest hit areas included Plumpy'Nut. However, due to high prices, long lead times, and the high cost of transport, aid organizations in Eastern Africa are intent on sourcing locally-available RUTF. The Chemonics-implemented USAID East Africa Competitiveness and Trade Expansion (COMPETE) program, based in Nairobi, Kenya, is responding to needs in eastern Africa by supporting local production of RUTF.
A regional project, COMPETE is working with Insta Products Ltd., one of only seven global suppliers of RUTF recognized by UNICEF, to meet local demand. In 2010, COMPETE provided Insta with a grant to purchase two improved packaging machines that tripled the company's production capacity to 900 cartons, or 12.4 MT, per day. Earlier in 2011, Insta competed for and was awarded a UNICEF Long Term Agreement to supply RUTF over the next two years, with an initial order of 500 MT, which equates to 36,230 cartons or 32,348 children (7-8.4 kg) receiving an eight-week treatment of RUTF. Insta's RUTF is distributed in refugee camps in northern Kenya, and provides desperately-needed nutrition for malnourished infants and children.

Silicon Cowboys
The remarkable David vs. Goliath story of Compaq, an unlikely upstart who altered the future of computing and helped shape the world as we know it today.
Launched in 1982 by three friends in a Houston diner, Compaq Computer set out to build a portable PC to take on IBM, the world's most powerful tech company. Although many others had tried cloning IBM's prized code, only to be trounced by high-priced lawyers, Compaq's vision for a portable PC found startling success, sending shockwaves through the industry and dethroning a tech giant.
Directed by Oscar®-nominated director Jason Cohen (Facing Fear) and produced by Ross Dinerstein (Jiro Dreams of Sushi), Silicon Cowboys charts the unexpected rise - and eventual fall - of Compaq during the booming 1980s PC industry, offering a refreshing and important addition to the familiar narratives of Jobs, Gates and Zuckerberg.

Unfortunately there is no EXE or PDF support which would probably be some common files that people would upload. Still pretty great even though I couldn't find any kind of privacy statement…so you might want to be selective at what you upload.

Mike Reiss (11:59 AM)
Good afternoon and welcome to today's chat.
Mike Reiss (12:00 PM)
Just had a little something come up. Let's plan on kicking off around 12:10/12:15. It is showing me that auto update is on.
Mike Reiss (12:09 PM)
Another 5 minutes or so... We'll make up the time on the back end.
Mike Reiss (12:16 PM)
OK, just settling in. Curious to hear what's on your mind today.
Bill L. (Fort Collins, CO)
Hey Mike! Let's play Mike Reiss, the Patriots GM game... Who gets the next big contract extension? Welker, Spikes, or someone else? Thanks!!!
Mike Reiss (12:17 PM)
Bill, I still believe Welker will be here in 2013 and beyond. It's solely a belief, and not based on any inside info. I just think the sides will ultimately find a common ground for 2-3 years. Makes most sense for both of them.
Belichick (Foxboro)
Tougher match-up for Pats, Niners game or Texans game?
Mike Reiss (12:17 PM)
I'll say Pats-Texans, even though that's the Texans' third straight road game. They look a little more balanced to me -- offense and defense -- than the 49ers.
Ricardo (Massachusetts)
first time asking question: Do you see Dowling back with team next year? and will Patriots make any trades?
Mike Reiss (12:18 PM)
Ricardo, I view Dowling in the same category as Terrence Wheatley from 2010. Wheatley was a 2008 second-rounder and he was entering his third season in '10 and had to prove he could stay healthy and play at a high level. He was ultimately cut that year. Not saying it will happen to Dowling but I think he has to prove that he belongs. He's no longer on scholarship.
Charles (RI - McCourty)
Hey Mike - it seems like the defense has played BETTER with McCourty at saftey. I think his ceiling is HIGHER at corner BUT i think that he has shown the ability to be an above average Saftey...I also think Patrick Chung is gone next year.
Mike Reiss (12:20 PM)
Charles, McCourty has settled down the back end in his time at safety, I don't think there is much doubt about that. But to me the issue becomes, "If you leave McCourty at safety, who are your top corners?" If you feel confident you can win a Super Bowl with a Dennard/Arrington combo, then you go with it. I think the idea is to get your best four DBs on the field and I see the pieces fitting better with McCourty at CB this year.
John P (Washington D.C.)
With the initial hint of Dom Rodgers-Cromartie possibly being and option for the patriots how do you see him fitting in NE? Also what draft picks do we have to give up as it was mentioned a mid rounder might work.
Mike Reiss (12:21 PM)
John, the DRC blog post was really pure speculation. It was a writer having some fun. As for how he would fit, he'd be a starting cover corner who would provide the team the flexibility to keep McCourty at safety if it so desires. CBs are like pitchers in baseball -- never can have enough.
Robert Burrier (Altus, OK)
Hey Mike! Long time since I've been able to participate and ask a question. What did you think about Gronk's TD celebrations? I personally loved them, but I could see how maybe the coaching staff might not have like it.
Mike Reiss (12:22 PM)
Robert, I thought the first one was the funniest thing I maybe have ever seen on a football field. Classic. Belichick had a good smile after the game when it came to Gronk.
Josh (not Boyer) (Foxboro)
You've been on record saying that Boyer was a good, solid coach -- do you think it is time to revisit your assessment?? We have a guy like Dante Scarnecchia, who is able to coach up his players and turn linemen water into wine. Make no mistake about it, as much as BB is a genius and the primary driving force (along w/ Brady) of their long run of excellence, Dante is right their alongside them. He is truly genius. And then...you have a guy like Boyer. If there is a mirror opposite of Scarnecchia, it is Boyer. Our players have continually regressed under his watch. What gives??
Mike Reiss (12:25 PM)
Josh, I file this one under the category of "everyone needs a scapegoat." This is the easy answer, and I think it's wrong. How many of the players who have regressed under Boyer have gone on to greater things elsewhere? None that I can think of. That tells me it's not a coaching issue, it's a personnel/evaluation issue. Also, and I mention this every time Boyer's name comes up, the Patriots had Dom Capers as their secondary coach in 2008 and he is one of the most respected assistants in the game. The secondary might have been worse in '08 than it has been this year.
Mike Reiss (12:26 PM)
Boyer has been hand-picked by Belichick to coach the position. He's come up through the team's system and been coached by Belichick as to how the job is supposed to be done.
Peter (Ireland)
Mike do you think we'll see more of Bequette?Other than just garbage time in Wembley. I'd like to see what he has in him...?
Mike Reiss (12:27 PM)
I don't think so, Peter. He's No. 6 on a pretty deep depth chart with Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, Jermaine Cunningham, Trevor Scott and Justin Francis ahead of him.
Pile on Josh Boyer day. I just looked @ his profile. Apparently he had been DB's coach since 2008 and this past year it changed to CB's coach. Isn't 2008 when it really went downhill for this unit?? We had Asante before that.
Mike Reiss (12:29 PM)
ECF, I think you're helping me make my point. Lose Asante, the performance dips. It's about the players more than the coaching. They had Corwin Brown back there as a coach a few years ago. That didn't work out too well either.
Watson (Canton Ohio) [via mobile]
Why do we need 5 Tight Ends?
Mike Reiss (12:30 PM)
Watson, part of it is because of the versatility they provide. You could almost call Hernandez a WR and Hoomanawanui a FB. If you do that, you really only have 3 TEs. I wouldn't get caught up in pigeon-holing the players based on the positional designation in front of their name, as much as focusing on how they are being utilized on the field.
Jay P (Wales)
When the Patriots spread it out, they cant be beat, am I right?
Mike Reiss (12:31 PM)
I think they can, Jay. They're on a nice little roll with the spread offense over the last 5 1/4 quarters (last drive of 4th quarter vs. Jets; overtime vs. Jets; four quarters vs. Rams). But I thought they tried to spread the Cardinals out in Week 2 and it didn't look so good.
Dave (RI)
Mike, prior to the season the o-line had been one of the biggest concerns, At the half way point what do you think?
Mike Reiss (12:32 PM)
Dave, I'd say you have to tip your cap to the o-linemen. They've come through. Nate Solder for Matt Light transition has been smooth. All that concern proved unwarranted.
Marc (Malden, MA)
You're right, a huge problem with the secondary is personel/evaluation and that's on BB. He's the GM and really, he needs to give that up.
Mike Reiss (12:33 PM)
Since 2007, they've had seven defensive backs drafted in the first or second round. First rounders -- Meriweather/McCourty. Second rounders -- Wheatley/Chung/Butler/Dowling/Wilson. They also rewarded CB Leigh Bodden with a four-year, $20m plus deal after 1 solid year. That's not a very good success rate.
Zack (boston )
I don't think its fair to put all of the blame on Boyer for the DB situation in New England. The more I think about it, I feel like it has to be significantly scheme related. I think of other defenses I've seen this year, and their defensive backfields are not exactly chock full o talent. Somehow, their players dont get beat/called for interference on p of deep balls though. It isn't a Boyer thing, its definitley somewhat a talent thing, but scheme deficits MUST play a role here, too.
Mike Reiss (12:34 PM)
Zack, I do think the scheme is something that warrants a closer examination to ask "is this bringing out the best in our players?" I personally don't know it well enough to have a strong opinion. But it's something I've wondered about.
Danny (Salem, NH)
Mike, Is there any trade rumors around the Patriots today?
Mike Reiss (12:35 PM)
Haven't heard any myself, Danny.
max (my cube)
Mike, regarding the point that the DBs let go from NE didn't have success anywhere, do you know of cases where players have been let go from NE (at any position) and have had success elsewhere? Where I'm coming from is, when such players leave NE, perhaps it is not as simple as hitting a reset button with a new team, but maybe they have regressed in NE so much that they can't succeed in any system. I have trouble believing that the Pats whiffed on DB picks year after year after year. Bad coaching seems more plausible to me than consistently failing on high picks at the same position.
Mike Reiss (12:36 PM)
Max, Asante Samuel, David Thomas and Jeremy Mincey are three players who immediately come to mind as players who have either sustained or raised their level of performance outside of New England. BB doesn't miss on too many of those evaluations, but no one is perfect.
Eric (Braintree)
I think the release of Moore tells us that Gregory, Chung and Arrington are close to game ready, especially with the loss of Ras-I Dowling. Moore offered both safety and corner help so, in order to release him, there has to be depth there. I think people should be happy when the team releases players they pick up during the season because it can only mean one thing: the team is getting their original starters back to health. Good bye Carpenter, hello Tracy White.
Mike Reiss (12:38 PM)
Eric, I understand the viewpoint, but I was really surprised at the Moore decision. Just because those players are coming back doesn't mean you dump your nickel back who has played 43 percent of the snaps. Why not dump DB Malcolm Williams, who was just promoted from the practice squad? I'm anxious to learn more about the team's thought-process because that one came out of nowhere to me.
PnkRwkKid (Melbourne, FL )
Mike, first of all, I hope you and your family are doing well. Sterling Moore, wow, I did not see that one coming. In an area where I feel our team is the weakest, is there something we don't know??
Mike Reiss (12:39 PM)
Thanks for the thoughts. Let's see if Moore is claimed by another team. If he isn't, the Patriots can bring him back on the practice squad and it's a double victory -- they get to address a different need while keeping Moore for depth. If not, the only conclusion we can draw -- assuming Moore is healthy -- is that the team doesn't think he is very good.
Michael (London)
Hey Mike, would you agree Brady, McDaniels and the offense are most comfortable in the 3 WR set with Welker in the slot mixing in the run? Whilst Hernandez is undoubtly a great player do you think his presence causes the offense to change its indentity and confort to accomodate him?
Mike Reiss (12:40 PM)
Interesting thought, Michael. I view it a little differently and think they are more effective when both Welker and Hernandez are on the field. But I can understand where this one is coming from, the idea that maybe Hernandez and Welker duplicate themselves a bit.
Michael L. (Boston, MA)
Do you think the Patriots are still Super Bowl contenders even though they have been inconsistent through the first half?
Mike Reiss (12:42 PM)
Absolutely Michael. If they play like they did on Sunday, they'll be tough to beat. That's why I thought that game was important for them -- it showed them what they are capable of.
Tushin (MO)
Hi Mike,I know you like to do the gut-reaction 3 up/3 down after every game. Can I get you to do a gut-reation 3 up/3 down at the half-way point for the season?Thanks for all the pats coverage!
Mike Reiss (12:43 PM)
That's a good one...
Mike Reiss (12:43 PM)
Up: Rob Gronkowski, Chandler Jones, Nate Solder
Mike Reiss (12:45 PM)
Down: Kyle Arrington, Patrick Chung, Ras-I Dowling (pre-injury).
AJ (Oakland)
Any word on Bolden? Also, I like what I see from Vareen, especially in the passing game. Why not more touches for him?
Mike Reiss (12:48 PM)
AJ, saw Bolden in the locker room today. Looks like he's close. Vereen will get his touches. They're pretty loaded at RB and a lot of it game-specific. For example, they went 13-13-12 (Ridley-Woodhead-Vereen) with first-half snaps last Sunday vs. Rams, before Ridley got 17 of the second half snaps and Woodhead and Vereen got seven apiece. It was time to bring down the hammer so you go to the hammer-back in Ridley.
David (North Attleborough, Ma)
No doubt the Aaron Hernandez has the talent and versatility needed to be a good player but does he have the durability needed playing so many position including running the ball like he did last year.
Mike Reiss (12:49 PM)
Fair question, David. That's one thing I think gets overlooked with Welker. Durable. It's proven. Hernandez hasn't proven that through 2-plus seasons.
Steve (Virginia)
Mike, what did you hand out last night to the kids...DOTS?
Mike Reiss (12:49 PM)
Steve, we're a game-plan specific house. Depends on who was at the door. LOL.
AJ (Oakland)
Is Jones your choice for ROY?
Mike Reiss (12:50 PM)
Runaway choice for defensive rookie of the year.
Dan (Leominster)
Mike,You ok? The chat just slowed down to Forsberg speedAny reason Ron Brace is still with this team because there are plenty why he shouldn't be!
Mike Reiss (12:51 PM)
Hey, back off on Forsberg! Brace's time could be short-lived. Just hasn't seemed to be able to take that next step. The one thing that helps him is that it's not easy finding 6-6, 330-pound guys. But to the layman, his technique seems inconsistent.
Name (location) [via mobile]
I think spikes is a primier MLB In the NFL, your thoughts
Mike Reiss (12:52 PM)
Have to love the energy and physical presence he brings to the game, but until he rounds things out from a pass-coverage perspective, I think premier is too rich.
Danny (Salem, NH)
On to the topic of Brace, where is Myron Prior? Also, when do you expect to see Viasnthe Shaincoe to make his Patriots debut?
Mike Reiss (12:52 PM)
Pryor popped into the locker room today. I think he's close. I'd think we see Shiancoe vs. the Bills.
Mike (North Adams)
Hey Mike, love Branch-great guy and had some great years with the Pats, but doesn't look like he can beat his man any more.. Might Salas get a shot now? And question on OT rule.. when Ninkovich got that fumble recovery-Jets, to end the game.. was play dead immediately when he gained possession.. could he have scored..if he recovered and ran in for a touchdown..? could he have fumbled himself? or play just dead when recovered-game over..? just curious.
Mike Reiss (12:53 PM)
Mike, based on my calculations, if Salas is activated next week, he only needs to average 7.62 catches per game to reach the 61 I predicted him for. LOL.
Mike Reiss (12:54 PM)
Seriously, I don't see them moving away from Branch at this point. The comfort level Brady has with him is obviously very valuable. ... Not sure on Ninkovich play. Would have to check.
Mike (Cube As Well)
Come on - has to be Ridley on the up !!
Mike Reiss (12:55 PM)
Ridley solid, but limited to 3. And think of some of the ends the Patriots have faced -- seems like a tough matchup every week.
Paul (NH)
Can I just point out that Welker would have sprained his ankle too if Edelman fell on it like that? (Sticking up for Hernandez's durability)
Mike Reiss (12:56 PM)
Sometimes it's just the breaks, Paul. Injuries/cause is always a tricky subject. After three years, the missed games start adding up and it's part of a player's resume, fair or not.
Chuck (MD)
We must beat either the Texans or 49ers if we are to be considered legitimate SB contenders. Thoughts?
Mike Reiss (12:57 PM)
I don't think so, Chuck. As the Giants have shown us, you just have to get in the playoffs and be playing your best at that time. All this talk about "identity" and "elite" is a bit overblown from this perspective.
Steve (Virginia)
Why not Wendell on the up? His play so far has to have been unexpected. Gronkowski's play we expected.
Mike Reiss (12:58 PM)
Wendell has exceeded expectations, but if we knew the pain was Gronk was in, I think we'd appreciate his effort/performance that much more.
Kyle (Vermont)
Mike, you defended Boyer by saying that even when Dom Capers was coach in 2008 they had a poor secondary. Actually, in 2008 they had the 11th best pass defense, and in 2009 they had the 12th best. In 2010 it dropped all the way to 28th, and last year to 31st. Seems like a direct correlation to when Boyer took over. I'm not saying it's all Boyer's fault, but I don't think he is helping at all. In the current mess that the secondary is in, I think it's going to take a combination of getting rid of mediocre players like Arrington as well as getting some new coaches in there. It certainly can't get any worse.
Mike Reiss (1:00 PM)
Kyle, if we go back to 2008, did we really think that defense was going to stop anyone when it had to? Part of those numbers were a result of a little bit of an easier schedule. They had Deltha O'Neal at LCB and Ellis Hobbs at RCB. To me, it was about the players more than the coaching.
Andy (Berkshires)
The Pats front 7 looked more aggressive on Sunday. New mind-set or a specific game plan because the Rams O-line is so awful? I'd like to see us play that way more often.
Mike Reiss (1:02 PM)
I agree Andy. I like the pressure approach, and the general idea of trying to dictate what the offense does by speeding up their decision-making. That said, I think the approach was game specific. I'm not sure we'll see a heavy dose of blizting against the Bills. They vary it up from week to week.
Henry (Boston)
Mike - love your work. Do you have any info on Josh Boyer being demoted from the full DB coach to just the cornerbacks coach, as was reported in the Globe this morning. When did it go into effect? Also, did you also ever check into how he coaches them to not look for the ball? While warranted in certain situations (e.g. when you're beat and need to play catch-up), it seems he overdoes it and many of the Pats don't look back even when they are "in-phase", causing numerous unnecessary PI calls and completions when the players could've knocked the ball down if only they turned their heads.
Mike Reiss (1:02 PM)
Henry, Boyer wasn't demoted. They shuffle the responsibilities around each year. On looking for the ball, Bill Belichick explained it. Will try to dig up the link now.
Mike Reiss (1:03 PM)
Paul (New London CT)
Is Chandler Jones meeting your expectations on his rookie debut? I remember you told me your estimated sacks would be 8, and he already has 6. I believe he will most likely be in the double figures soon!
Mike Reiss (1:03 PM)
He's been great, Paul. I think a lot of people, including me, missed on the fact that this was a player that supposedly needed more seasoning. He's been a beast.
Grandjordanian (San Diego)
Everyone needs to relax about our DBs. There's a chance they will pull a 2009 Saints on us and lock it up late in the season. And if not, this team is better than the squad that came within inches of a ring last year. Young guys screw up and they learn and improve. I'm excited to root for it to happen. And I say that as a guy who had to watch the Seattle game unravel in person, wearing my McCourty jersey in a sea of Seattle fans.
Mike Reiss (1:04 PM)
Bold with the McCourty jersey. I've heard stories of people getting razzed with those ... in Gillette Stadium.
Boyer non sympathizer (Springfield, MA)
Mike, my father used to tell me. When everyone seems to disagree with you, the issue is probably your own. So Boyer, honestly is terrible. I don't get how Wendell, McDonald are seen as PREMIER talent for Dante to work with. Boyer gets the same talent as Dante gets. But he cannot deliver on it.
Mike Reiss (1:06 PM)
Hey, I respect a difference of opinion. But one thing I won't do is change my opinion to appease others. I have a belief and I stick with it. Scarnecchia is coaching within a potent offensive system that has one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game. You get the ball out quick, you can protect your linemen. Give me the Giants front four from 2011 and put them on the field with the Patriots' secondary, and Boyer might be in the running for assistant coach of the year.
Mike Reiss (1:07 PM)
This isn't to say Boyer is the perfect coach. But this idea of pinning it all on him is way off in my view.
Aaron (The Looney Bin)
Why would the Pats waive Moore? Seems that in a secondary with as many injury concerns as the Pats' you would want to hold on to durable, adequate cover corners. BB really needs to get his act together with this secondary. If they fail to win a Championship this year and the primary reason is the secondary I think things could get ugly for BB. Thoughts?
Mike Reiss (1:08 PM)
I was surprised too, Aaron. Could be tied to practice squad eligibility. They might not view him as a player with a high ceiling, and if he played one more regular season game, his practice squad eligibility woul dhave been affected.
Rick (Providence)
Hi MikeVery pre-mature here but I think it is time for Belichick to do a Dimitroff in the draft and go get a stud high in Rd 1. I know that is against everything Belichick has ever done but this team is solid and if we can get a high impact play maker on defense or the next Randy Moss then I think it is worth it. Our team is young and we have the talent locked up for awhile (The TEs Brady Mankins, Mayo, McCourty etc..) Bill's record in the 2nd round is spotty so why not try to go up high. His record in the early part of the first round is pretty good.
Mike Reiss (1:08 PM)
Rick, isn't that what he basically did this past year with Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower. These two guys are difference-makers, right?
MarkJ (Japan)
Mike, please tell us what kind of city London is. Have you enjoyed the extended stay there?
Mike Reiss (1:11 PM)
Mark, that was a very nice visit. People were great. Saw some great history, with a highlight Churchill's war bunker.
Bob D (Watertown)
Quick follow up.. You may not change your opinion to appease others but is it possible you dig in when challenged and won't open your mind to the fact that you are just dead wrong about our secondary and coaching?
Mike Reiss (1:13 PM)
Bob, I feel like I'm a pretty open-minded guy. I try to respect others' viewpoints. What I don't like is the need to find a scapegoat, and how nasty it can get. Then what happens is maybe one problem gets rectified and we move on to the next one with no regard for the absolute bomb that was dropped on someone. It's not right in my book.
Mike Reiss (1:14 PM)
I believe in accountability and fairness. Won't always be right, but I'll dig deep and try to get to the truth in the most fair way possible, without dragging someone through the mud unless it is warranted.
Steve (Virginia)
I think most of the problem with our DBs is that they have to cover too long. I don't think that there are many DBs in this league that can cover effectively when they have to stay with the receiver as long as ours do. We need to be more agressive up front which will help our DB play.
Mike Reiss (1:15 PM)
Steve, BB always says it -- better pass rush leads to better coverage, and better coverage leads to better pass rush. You have to marry them up. It's a fair point.
Brian (CT)
Hi Mike, I'm joining in the chat in the 4th quarter but wanted your opinion on the NFL trade deadline, will the PATS ever be a participant and if you have any idea what the percentage of TEAMS that actually participate?
Mike Reiss (1:16 PM)
Brian, they've made some deals (Deion Branch), but usually they are like other teams -- a non-participant. That would be my expectation this time around.
Jamie (Richmond, VA)
Mike, not a question but a comment. I'm with you on Boyer. BB always talks about complementary defense. The fact is, our pass rush isn't great, which makes the secondary look worse. A pass rush is considered effective if it gets to the passer within 2.5 seconds. we don't see that very often. I'm with you. If we had a front 4 of the giants, our secondary would look quite beastly. this isn't on Boyer.
Mike Reiss (1:20 PM)
Jamie, I was thrust into the "defend Josh Boyer" camp today. I've talked with Boyer over the past few years and see a lot of Belichick in him. He lives football. He's putting everything he has into it, and anyone who knows what it's like to work under Belichick knows that's the only way it can be. I'm sure there are some things he can do better, but at the end of the day, I don't think he is the issue. I respect others' viewpoints, and I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong, so let's leave it there today.
Mike Reiss (1:20 PM)
Let's go for another non-Boyer 5 minutes :)
Hambone (Lewiston, Maine)
I like the Wilson / McCourty combination at Safety - is it a foregone conclusion that it will be broken up when Chung and Gregory return, or is there hope that the combo remains?
Mike Reiss (1:21 PM)
BB will play the best 4, regardless of draft status. Those puzzle pieces could come together in a variety of ways. I don't think anytihng is a given.
Steve (Virginia)
C'mon Mike- give me your prediction of our 2nd half record with who our losses will be to, if anyone
Mike Reiss (1:22 PM)
Steve, I predicted 13-3 at the start of the season, so I'll stick with that. That means they run the table. Tough challenges ahead, but 5 games at home, 3 on road is a nice split.
Nick (Connecticut)
We've killed this Boyer topic. Let's analyze Ridley. He's overrated and Bolden is our true no. 1 back...discuss
Mike Reiss (1:23 PM)
LOL Nick. Like the passion. Bolden has played 72 snaps this season and it's just not enough for me to say No. 1 back.
Chris C (CT)
Is it just me or is Gronk running a little slower than last year? (Although still playing well)
Mike Reiss (1:25 PM)
Absolutely Chris. Hip/back injuries -- he's been playing through them. Tough, tough player. Lot of respect there.
AJ (Oakland)
Mike, What are your thoughts on Denard moving forward? Do you see him as a legit starting cb?
Mike Reiss (1:25 PM)
AJ, I like how Dennard is around the ball. I think he has a chance to be a top-3 guy.
Danny (Salem, NH)
How do you see the secondary positions lining up? Could the Patriots be playing a 3 Safety set? I believe Chung should be used as close to the LOS as possible. Leave McCourty back at FS and rotate Gregory/Wilson. Your thoughts?
Mike Reiss (1:26 PM)
Danny, in the base, I could see a McCourty/Dennard combo at CB, with Gregory/Chung at safety. Arrington comes on in sub for the "star" position in slot, with Wilson the dime back.
Bill L. (Colorado)
Did @mrs75 buy a new car while the team was in London? :) what a great quote from wilfork!
Mike Reiss (1:27 PM)
That was great, Bill. I ran into Bianca Wilfork and here's my inside scoop: She's an online shopper! LOL.
Jim (Boston)
He Mike,Why is it that there are not many trades at the deadline? The DRC piece makes so much sense for this team. (could that be why a bunch of shuffling happened yesterday). I agree it probably won't happen. But if this was baseball, this would be the kind of move that would give a contender on the bubble the extra lift they need. The only thing I can think of is that it takes time for new players to learn systems and in football, there is not much time in the middle of a season. But with a cover corner, can't you just say, go cover the best receiver? This could be the difference in a title run.
Mike Reiss (1:28 PM)
I think you nailed it, Jim. Not like baseball where you can hand the ball to the pitcher and put him on the mound right away. Much more complex in football. That's why Deion Branch had more value to the Patriots when they traded for him. Past knowledge of the system.
Bobby (Boston)
Do you see anything happening for the Pats before the trade deadline?
Mike Reiss (1:28 PM)
Never say never, Bobby, but I'd be surprised.
Paul (New Boston)
Mike, the patriots should trade for a decent corner! And I dont understand the fuss about Chung and Gregory, I thought they were decent at times, especially Gregory, seems to be at right place, right time
Mike Reiss (1:29 PM)
Paul, I think Gregory is a settling presence at safety. Gets everyone lined up. That said, the Jones 68-yard catch-and-run in the Buffalo game was a reminder that we're not talking about Ed Reed here.
Dave (Charlotte)
Mike...love your work, read it every day. I see that BB gave the players the week off with the exception of today. Why not give them the whole week? What is one practice on Thursday going to do? Is this more of a running/conditioning practice or will they talk about game planning for the Bills?
Mike Reiss (1:31 PM)
Let's end on this one, Dave. I think the main thing is to keep a little bit of the momentum/physical conditioning heading in the right direction. The other part is self-evaluation. This is a rare chance to look back at 8 games and address some things that would otherwise get overlooked because the team is in the game-to-gamd mindset. It won't be Bills specific today, but more Patriots specific. Anyone banged up won't be pushed hard.
Mike Reiss (1:32 PM)
Fiery chat today. Appreciate all the passion and differing viewpoints. I think it's good to disagree and share our opinions respectfully. If we all agreed, that would be boring. So thanks for that, and enjoy the weekend.

Download YouWave A Space for Android Apps on PC
YouWave is an emulator for Android operating system in its 2.3 Gingerbread version which simulates its applications and games so you can try them from your computer just like they would be seen on your mobile phone without having to download them there.
YouWave imitates your terminal to perfection, from Android interface to the tactile keyboard as well as offering various functions like an SD card simulator to record games or the multiplayer online modus.
This emulator has the same menu elements as a mobile phone does: music, tools, navigator, gallery… Furthermore, the program brings a rotation dynamic with it so you will be able to use it in a more comfortable way.
With this tool you will be able to download all the applications you want directly from Android Market (only the 2.3.4 version) or with the APK version, being very easy to use and run. The only necessary requisite to use Android Market is having a Google ID to be able to access it, once on the browser, you will be able to download the apps that you like the most and the system will save them before closing the program so you can keep them.
YouWave will allow you to run Android apps and app stores on your Windows PC. YouWave runs Android apps on your Windows PC by creating a virtual Android environment inside Windows.
Although YouWave has been specifically designed as an emulated environment to run Android apps, sometimes the transition doesn't always come off that well.
Key features include:
- Payment options: YouWave is compatible with Google Wallet and PayPal transactions.
- Windows content: You can open Windows folders and files from inside YouWave's virtual environment.
Overall, even as a basic emulated Android environment the YouWave display inside Windows doesn't have the crispness and clarity of a native Android device. The navigation also suffers in the transition from portable to desktop.
