The proposal involves the development of pipelines to support the existing natural gas and NGLs transportation system from Las Malvinas to the Chiquintirca compression station, and the development of a southern pipeline from the existing gas transportation system to the south coast.
Foster Wheeler has been awarded a contract by Wood Mackenzie
to provide consultancy services for two projects in Peru, the
company said on Wednesday.
The two projects are formally named the Energy
Security and South Pipeline Project and the Energy
Node in South Peru Project.
The Foster Wheeler contract value was not disclosed and was
included in the companys second-quarter 2013
Foster Wheeler will develop the design and cost estimates
for both planned investments. The company's scope of work is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.
The principal stakeholders involved in these two projects
are ProInversion, the Peruvian Government Agency responsible
for promoting private investments and for the awarding process
of these two projects -- and the Ministry of
Energy and Mines, as the governing body of the energy and mines
Wood Mackenzie has been contracted by ProInversion to promote
private investment in infrastructure to strengthen the energy
security of the country, to decentralize the power generation
from the central area of the country and to promote the
development of a petrochemical complex in the south
of Peru as part of the Peruvian Governments
diversification initiative.
The Energy Security and South Pipeline Project involves the
development of pipelines to support the existing natural gas
and natural gas liquids (NGL) transportation system from
Las Malvinas to the Chiquintirca compression station, and the
development of the southern pipeline from the existing natural
gas transportation system to the south coast.
The Energy Node in South Peru Project will involve
the development of thermoelectric power generation plants with
a capacity up to 2,000 megawatts to promote the development of
an energy center and petrochemical complex in the south
of the country.
Both projects leverage our technical expertise in
geographical information systems, pipelines and power plant
design, said Umberto della Sala, chief operating officer
of Foster Wheeler.
We will evaluate options for the proposed gas
transportation infrastructure and routing, as well as power
plant configuration and location, to accommodate the
challenging Peruvian geography and to optimize the
implementation schedule for the projects," he added.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Save Recipe
Add to shopping list
- Rinse the chicken with cool water, and place the chicken, broth, and bouillon granules in a 3-quart pot. Bring the broth to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside.
- Remove the chicken from the pot, and set aside. Add the mushrooms, celery, carrots, onion, savory, thyme, and pepper to the pot, and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 additional minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Pull the chicken meat from the bones, and tear or dice it into bite-sized pieces. Add it to the soup along with the noodles.
- Increase the heat slightly to return the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente. (Be careful not to overcook, as the noodles will continue to soften in the hot soup.) Stir the parsley into the soup, ladle the soup into individual serving bowls, and serve hot.

I don't see any built in mechanism for scheduling nightly backups in SQL Server 2005. What tools are available to perform this task and how reliable are they?
The SQL Server Agent will do it for you.
There is even a user-friendly wizard available to create the necessary backup jobs (SQL Server 2005 Books Online: How to: Create a Maintenance Plan). In terms of reliability - I would expect this to be rock-solid.
It can execute multiple-step jobs at complex schedules and notify you by mail or other means or start processes depending on the success or failure of any job.
I have done this using a Maintenance Plan. I have actually written a script to backup all the user databases. I have shared that script here http://dbalink.wordpress.com/2009/04/25/automated-sql-server-back-poor-mans-edition/
There are better solutions, though, than what I have done in my script. Just check the comments on my post.
I hope this helps ;-)
There's a few parts to this.
First, Maintenance Plans will build a set of actions that can back up your database, defragment your index, perform DBCC checks, and more. The problem is that maintenance plans suffer from a lack of flexibility and have some restrictions. I talk about it in my tutorial video on maintenance plans:
Instead, you can choose to write your own T-SQL scripts to do database backups. That'll give you more flexibility and power. We link to some good backup scripts off that video link too.
Second, no matter which method you choose (maintenance plans or custom T-SQL scripts), the jobs will be run on your schedule by the SQL Server Agent. The Agent is a job scheduler built into SQL Server.
Which edition of SQL 2005 do you have? If you have the Express edition (the free edition) it does not come with SQL agent.
If you do have Express, you'll have to be a bit more creative. One option is using the Windows scheduler to call sqlcmd with a backup script.
If you don't have the agent, use the Scheduler to call a script like this:
Or similar…
Remember that C:\ cannot be a network drive it must be a locally connected drive. (No, mapped drives doesn't work either).
I use the maintenance plans, they were easy to setup and so far haven't failed. I have them backing-up my databases to a SAN, you must supply the UNC name for the directory path eg \\archive\SQL\database\fullbackup.bak.
As I grow more with SQL server I will most likely move to scripts, as viewing Brent's video showed me it is better in the long run.
Network backup is possible with SQL Server Agent...
You just need to change an account wich used for start SQL Server Agent service to account with access to network share (and system service operations for sure) - e.g. any domain admin account...
But local disk backup and xp_commandshell it's really much more reliable. You can script result check/distribution to several servers and so on...

Murals were the topic when the GFWC/OH Wintersville Woman's Club welcomed Mary Snyder of Historic Fort Steuben to its Oct. 18 meeting held at St. Florian Hall in Wintersville.
Marjean Sizemore, first vice president, introduced Snyder, who presented a Power Point program on "The Steubenville Murals - Where History Comes Alive."
Snyder explained the 23 murals reflect the history of the town and gave an overview of many of them, discussing several in detail.
She told the club that the goal is to refurbish as well as create new murals in an effort to preserve, teach and renew pride in Steubenville's history. Brochures were distributed on mural tours available.
President Barb Thermes welcomed 55 members and two guests to the meeting, including Martha Ann Alloggia, there with Lil Ferguson. Robbie Young gave the meditation and grace, selecting using a reading about "Change." She also shared an original poem entitled "In God's Time."
A "cancer basket" circulated among the membership generated approximately $150 in collections and donations. A "Pennies for Puppies" generates proceeds for the Canine Companions program.
Natalie Doty, second vice president, led the club in opening ceremonies.
A "Suggestion Box" launched at the September meeting resulted in the suggestion that a donation be made in memory of Lucille Piergallini, Todd's mother, which the club approved.
Corresponding Secretary Linda Cipriani read three thank-you notes.
The following community service reports were given:
SCRAPBOOK: Chairman Carol Yaich presented the president's scrapbook to Judy Anastasio, outgoing club president, which showcases events that occurred during her term. She thanked everyone for making her term such a wonderful experience.
PUBLIC ISSUES: Barb Grimm, chairman, reported that $340.70 was given to AIM Women's Center from the baby bottles collection with several more bottles brought to the October meeting. Items for the teen stocking project for Urban Mission Ministries can be brought to the November meeting.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Barb Whiteman, chairman, reported her car's trunk was filled with food items that will be taken to the East Springfield's Woman's Club, which provides food for their area. Whiteman thanked members for clipping coupons for mailing to military bases and said the club also will participate in the Boatsie's Boxes program. Items were to be taken to the armory in Marietta for packing.
In other business, Sizemore explained that the OFWC wants 1,000 signatures to show members are standing up to domestic violence. Signature cards were distributed to members. She thanked members for wearing purple for domestic violence awareness and pink for breast cancer awareness.
Kathy Furda won the drawing for the breast cancer awareness basket. "Rope of Hope" favors were provided by Donna Phillips, and pumpkin squares were made by Jeannie Barker.
Mary Coleman thanked Sizemore for the recognition article about her in the club's "Chatterbox" newsletter.
Thermes announced that at the Southeast District meeting, the club won the "Travel Gavel Award" for the percentage of membership traveling the farthest. Thermes also recognized five members who were breast cancer survivors, including Natalie Doty; 23 years; Donna Phillips, Nancy Smith and herself, nine years; and Margaret Frederick, four years.
In other business, Phyllis Foreman suggested the club participate in the Christmas parade. The club's next luncheon and business meeting is Nov. 15 at St. Florian Hall. The program topic will be "Let's Visit Morraco" presented by Doty.

National Weather Service Tallahassee Fl
450 Am Est Thu Jan 26 2012
Severe Weather [This Afternoon And Tonight]...
Tallahassee NWS...
Area Radars Already Show A Predominately SSE Flow In The Lowest Atmosphere Across Much Of Alabama, Georgia, And Florida.
This Should Allow For Excellent Northward Low-Level Moisture Transport Today With Dewpoints On The Rise To The Mid-60s In The Florida Panhandle To Around 70 Degrees Offshore.
Sea Surface Temps (SSTs) Over Much Of The Gulf Are Above Normal And There Haven`t Been Any Major Intrusions Of Cooler Air Masses Lately.
Therefore, There Should Not Be Much Negative Modification Of The
Air Mass As It Surges North Through The Eastern Gulf Today.
The Midnight Storm Predictions Center (SPC) Severe Weather Outlook (and recent mesoscale / regional discussion) Both Reference A Band Of
Cooling Cloud Tops Indicative Of Increasing Ascent Ahead Of The
Mid-Upper Level Closed Low That Is Just Beginning To Eject.
This Increasing Ascent Stretched From East Texas To Just Offshore Of
South Texas.
Linear Extrapolation (that is, local time arrival of the active weather) Would Have This Arriving Over Western Alabama By Noon CST, And The Western Part Of Our Forecast Area By 3-4 pm CST.
As The Stronger Deep Ascent And Surging Cold Front Catch Up To The Squall Line Later This Morning, There Is Expected To Be An Increase In Storm Intensity.
Timing Of The Eastward Motion Of This Squall Line Has Sped Up Relative To Computer / Model Solutions This Time Last Night.
However, Six Individual High-Resolution Model Solutions Are Tightly Clustered Around The Following Timeline:
Storms Arrive At Our Western Border Around 3-4 pm CST...
Reach The Apalachicola River Around 5-6 pm CST...
Advance Into The Eastern Portions (While Weakening) By 10-11 pm EST.
This Faster Approach Would Put The Storms In The Western Half Of Our Area At A Much More Climatologically Favorable Time Of Day For Severe Weather.
The Convective Mode, Fast Storm Motions, And 40-50kt Southwesterly
Low level Jet All Favor Damaging (Straight-Line) Winds As The Primary Severe Weather Threat.
The Latest Run Of Our Local Computer Model (Wrf-Arw) Shows About A 45mph West-East Movement Of The Squall Line Across Our Area.
There Is A Notable Decrease In Storm Intensity (As Approximated By Model Simulated Updraft Velocities) After 6 pm CST As The Storms Move Into The Eastern Half Of Our Area.
While A Severe Weather Threat Exists Over Our Entire Area Today, The Odds Are Higher For The Western Half As Compared To The Eastern Half.
The Wind Shear Is Also Expected To Be Strong Enough To Support
Supercellular Storms, And The Strength Of The Shear Profile In The
Low Levels Suggests A Threat For Line Mesovorticies And Tornadoes.
(OSCAR NOTE - Mesovorticies are small but powerful swirls of wind that are spun off of strong / severe thunderstorms.
It is thought not many severe thunderstorms create such violent swirls.
Nevertheless, these swirls generally last only a few seconds but can cause significant localized damage.
Often these swirls dissipate prior to reaching ground level, and the swirls reaching the ground quickly lose their energy, but not before that energy threatens anyone or anything it impacts).
Tallahassee NWS...
We Will Be In A Favorable Parameter Space For Tornadoes.
The Bulk Of The Cape (energy for storm intensity) Profile Will Be Concentrated In The Lowest 3-4km Agl (above ground level), Which Should Make Up For The Marginal Values (500 J/Kg Or So).
Four Out Of The Eight Available High Resolution Models Indicated
There May Also Be Some Discrete Cells That Form Over The Gulf And
Then Approach Our Coastal Zones Earlier In The Afternoon.
This Is Around The Time That Low-Level Shear And Cape Profiles Markedly Improve, So Any Discrete Cells Prior To A Primary Squall Line
Would Likely Be Supercellular And Have A Greater Risk To Produce
(OSCAR NOTE - First, be aware the most favorable area for the tornadic t-storms is over the Gulf waters and near the coast...
Discrete cells are always the big concern with severe weather potential.
These are individual t-storms that form well out in front of a trailing squall line of t-storms.
These separate (discrete) storms can harness all of the surrounding atmospheric energy and can become quite intense.
If there is a tornadic threat overall, then usually the tornadoes are spawned by such storms.
In a moderate to high risk outlook of severe weather, more often than not, such discrete t-storms will form.
However, in a slight risk (as is our area later today) it remains to be seen if such discrete t-storms will develop - but again, the threat for such is nearer the coastline.
A squall line of t-storms will have very gusty winds, often near the speed at which the squall line itself is moving.
Since the predicted speed of the squall line moving east at 40 to 45 mph, the it is reasonable to calculate ground winds of 30 to 40 mph will be likely - with some locations experiencing winds approaching severe limits of near 60 mph.
T-storms within a squall line can produce a tornado, but usually it is short lived.
Nevertheless, you can see there are numerous scenarios for strong t-storms in our area this afternon and early evening, so be prepared and form your severe weather PLAN NOW, so you can implement it when a WARNING is issued. When a WARNING is issued and a storm does hit you, you likely will HAVE ONLY MINUTES TO REACT, not enough time to plan.
Keep it to WTVY-TV for the latest....Oscar).

WINTERSVILLE - On the first play of the third quarter Indian Creek's Tyler Lathem broke a 14-all tie with Oak Glen with a 9-yard touchdown run.
The extra point was blocked, but the Redskins led 20-14 and rolled through the rest of the fourth quarter en route to a 35-14 victory over the Golden Bears Friday at Kettlewell Memorial Stadium.
"I think we're good, and I think they know we're good, but you can't just wait until the end to show it," said Indian Creek head coach Andrew Connor. "I think we've had three unbelievable fourth quarters against Weirton, Liverpool, and against Oak Glen. The trouble is putting ourselves in jeopardy. You only get so many of these nine lives, and we need to start picking it up sooner.

LATE SIX — Indian Creek's Blake Roar is surrounded by teammates after scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Friday's 35-14 win over Oak Glen. -- Mike Mathison
"To be able to do what we've done in two straight fourth quarters, where we've come out and taken a game, put it behind our offensive line and run the ball, and our defense has played well is great. We need to be able to take the way we've played in the final quarter and multiply it by four quarters."
Added Oak Glen head coach Ian Whittington, "I'm very proud of our team. They gave a great, valiant effort tonight. We played one of the toughest teams in the Ohio Valley, and we gave a great effort.
"We were there until a few minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and then it started to fall down there."

PENALTIES-YARDS: Oak Glen 5-45; Indian Creek 11-59.

After Oak Glen's next possession ended in a three-and-out, Indian Creek started at its 39-yard line. The Redskins traveled the 61 yards in eight plays and were helped by an offsides penalty. The big play on the drive came when quarterback Jonathan Woodbury picked up a fumbled snap and sprinted up the middle for a 21-yard gain. Roar scored on a fourth and goal from 5 yards out and Lathem ran in the conversion for the 28-14 lead.
A Golden Bears' turnover on downs set up the final score. The Redskins started at the Oak Glen 19 and a pair of Roar runs took the ball to the one. Zach Connor punched it in from there and Utt's point after was good for the 35-14 score.
After the first half it didn't look as though the Redskins needed a big fourth quarter to roll to the win. Indian Creek's defense held Oak Glen to 5 yards of offense and no first downs through the opening 24 minutes.
On the Creek side of the ball Blake Roar found the end zone on runs of 6 and 22 yards in the second quarter, and Lee Utt was true on a pair of extra points to give the Redskins a 14-0 halftime lead.
Oak Glen came out swinging in the third quarter, forcing the Redskins to punt, and taking over at its 23-yard line. The Golden Bears picked up their initial first down of the game on the drive on a Redskins offsides penalty.
Micah Swiger broke a 34-yard run on an option, and quarterback Zac Porter hit Chris Burnham for a 35-yard completion to move the ball to the Redskins 5-yard line. On third and goal, Porter hit Colton Speece for a 5-yard score and Speece hit the extra point to cut the lead to 14-7.
"We saw what they were giving us in certain formations, how they were attacking certain places, and keying in on a few guys," said Whittington. "We knew if we could run a fake and then go down field a little bit we thought we could get them. A couple times it worked."
Another Creek punt gave Oak Glen the ball at its own 22-yard line. This time it took one play to score as Swiger jaunted 78 yards to paydirt. Speece knocked home the point after and the score was tied at 14-all.
"Micah Swiger made a great cut on their safety, and he takes it all the way," said Whittington. "It was an athlete making a good play."
On the ensuing kickoff, Corey Goodrich broke a big kickoff return to set the Redskins up at the Bears' 33-yard line. That drive ended with the Lathem go ahead score.
Roar was a force offensively with 32 carries for 195 yards and three scores. He also had one catch for 15 yards to put his day at 210 yards of offense. All totaled on the ground the Redskins ran the ball 52 times for 329 yards and five touchdowns.
"I thought early in the game he just ran on pure adrenaline and emotion," said Connor said of Roar. "He made a lot of people miss, and ran a lot of guys over. Then I thought, as the game went on, that our offensive line started to make those plays a little easier on him because the holes were getting a little bigger. Again we put the game in his hands.
"In the fourth quarter we said nothing fancy. We weren't going to throw the ball. We weren't going to entertain the idea of throwing it. We were either going to win the game or lose the game behind that running game, and I thought they did a really good job of being able to run the football."
The Golden Bears managed 139 yards of offense on the day. They gained 155 in the third quarter to go with 5 in the first half and minus 21 in the fourth quarter. Swiger had 2 carries for 112 yards while the rest of the team ran the ball 25 times for minus 36 yards.
"The biggest thing is we're getting helmets to the ball," said Connor. "That's what's important. We always say 'everyone is a good tackler when there's four of you there'. On the big plays we didn't have four guys there. When people have been pursuing well, and we've played good gap defense, we've been playing really well.
"Again the big plays hurt us in all games, and that's something we have to be careful of."
Both teams are in action next Friday with the Redskins hosting Buckeye Local with Oak Glen welcoming John Marshall.

5 Simple Ways to Trick Yourself into Not Feeling Pain
#2. Convince Yourself the Pain is Helping
George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
We don't want to fall into some "power of positive thinking" bullshit here, but the truth is that the body really does register two different types of pain. The soreness of an infection or nasty bruise doesn't register the same way as the soreness of a workout -- the latter is, after all, beneficial. And your brain registers "good" pain differently. So your ability to withstand pain is directly related to the meaning you assign to said pain. Pain resulting from recovering after a surgery, for example, somehow seems less bad than the pain that led up to requiring said surgery in the first place.
To prove this, researchers conducted a series of tests in which they induced pain by restricting the supply of blood to the arms of two sets of volunteers. In order to earn their cookie (we assume), each volunteer had to try to tolerate the pain for as long as they possibly could, which averaged around 14 minutes. The first group was erroneously led to believe the experiment would have a detrimental effect to their arm, while the second group was told that the procedure would be beneficial by strengthening their arm muscles, and also that the greater their pain, the greater the benefit they would obtain from the procedure.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
"OK, now the procedure involves us punching you in the face a whole bunch. Ready?"
At the end of the tests, researchers found that the pain tolerance of the second group was significantly higher than that of the first. So then they did it again. And again. And again. And even after four rounds of tests, the pain tolerances of the second group did nothing but increase -- simply because the participants in that group believed with all their hearts that they would lopsidedly walk out of the sessions with one massive Schwarzenegger-arm.
Obviously the people in the study had the advantage of someone else lying to them, and for you to make it work you need to come up with an effective way to lie to yourself ("Slicing my finger off has taught me a valuable lesson about knife safety that will benefit me in the future!") but honestly, lying to yourself is a valuable skill that everyone should have anyway.

"You're not a racist. You're not a racist. You're not a racist."
#1. Look at a Picture of Something Horrible
Jupiterimages/Creatas/Getty Images
Imagine yourself in the dentist's chair. The stabbing, the bleeding, the nails-on-chalkboard sound that's echoing against the inside of your skull and is coming from your own freaking teeth. Now, wrench your head a little to the left. That's it. What do you see there, on the walls? A framed photo of flowers. A cityscape at night time, perhaps. Maybe a wacky cartoon, or a picture of a puppy intended to pacify the younger patients. The point being, clearly the dentist has tried to decorate the room with calming pictures intended to distract you from the fact that Satan is currently tap dancing on your pearly whites.
Keith Brofsky/Photodisc/Getty Images
"Just look at the kittens, you whiny fuck."
Does it work? Yes, sort of. But you know what would work even better? Torture pics.
Scientists conducted experiments in which they had volunteers look at a collection of photographic slides ranging from pleasant to neutral to unpleasant while they simultaneously induced pain by subjecting the volunteers to cold pressor tests (a common pain tolerance test that involves shoving your hand into a basin full of extremely cold water and seeing how long you can hold it there). What they found was that the volunteers who viewed the unpleasant images were able to tolerate the pain significantly better than their counterparts who viewed the pleasant or neutral images. Basically, the shock value of the unpleasant slides reduced the participants' perceived pain.

"Your insurance won't cover painkillers, so I'm gonna pop Shoah into the DVD player."
Look, if you're going to try to give somebody something to distract them from the pain, then you need to distract them. Looking at a calming Norman Rockwell painting of a puppy snoozing in a basket isn't going to distract you from shit. But a picture you find alarming or disturbing demands your attention. So rather than grabbing the most uplifting posters he can find in the clearance bin at the local Wal-Mart, your dentist or physical therapist would actually serve you better by visiting the bargain DVD bin and playing Saw on an infinite loop instead.

When battery has been charged full, my Galaxy S phone gives the same notification sound that is used when I receive SMS. Is there a way to disable the sound without also disabling sound from SMS? It usually charge the phone during night and wake up easily to the "Battery fully charged. Unplug charger" notification sound :(
From what I can find, there is no way to turn it off:
no solution in the samsung galaxy s forum
no solution in the vodafone forum
However, one commenter notes
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but no tone when it's fully charged. Of course, this isn't a perfect solution since you need to manually set every other app, and presumably some won't have individual notification settings.
I stumbled upon this question because I want to recharge my phone at night next to my bed. Therefore, I do not want it to wake me, but setting the phone to silent does not solve it, as I want to be reachable for emergency calls.
My solution (which isn't strictly a correct answer to the question, but might solve the problem for most people) was using the app "Night Ringer Free", which enables me to enter a whitelist for calls/sms, however, all other sounds are silenced.
From the XDA Developers Forum, I have implemented this solution successfully on my Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G (with GingerBread.EI22 and also GingerBread.EL30), which has eliminated the "Battery fully charged. Unplug charger" notifications from my phone. The solution offers the following three features:
Best of all, you may choose to implement any (or ALL) of the three features above. Good Luck!
I don't want to steal from @Martin Sherburn, but this app that he recommended in a comment does the trick for me. It doesn't keep the screen from lighting up, but it does silence the notification.
Try Sound Manager. Schedule volumes of types of sounds with it (6 categories). Switch off notification (Battery full, e-mail notification etc.) volume from 12 to 7 while leaving untouched ring and media volumes and you're all set. Works on my brandnew Samsung Galaxy s2.
Slept well last night without a disturbance! I used to swich to buzz only before going to sleep and to remember to switch it back to ring in the morning.
Sleep well!
Since updating my SGS from 2.2 to 2.3, I no longer get the charged notification sound, so I'm assuming they fixed the issue.
You could use:
For information on how to install 'xposed' modules, view a similar stack exchange post.
I have a Samsung Charge, and was able to disable the annoying "Battery Full" notification by using Tasker. As others have stated, the Tasker solution I used is not specific to disabling only the BatteryFull notification when reached, but it does limit the amount of time notifications are disabled and when. What I did with Tasker:
This should limit the amount of time notifications are disabled to only a few minutes, since it only takes that long to charge the battery from 99 to 100%.
I know it is not perfect but I use an app called "NightStand BOLD" and click the "Mute notifications". I use this as my clock when I sleep. This does also silence sms but I don't mind generally. It will not silence alarms though. Anyway I hope this helps.
I found something in these forums that involves rooting your phone to accomplish this task. Keep in mind this is specifically for the Droid Charge. However, you may be able to apply it your phone. The basic principle involves rooting your phone and changing some system sound files with Root Explorer. There was another answer that involved rooting your phone and installing a custom ROM, but I would wager that this is possible without the custom ROM. Installing the custom ROM is the much more difficult step in my opinion (although I've personally done it).

TORONTO - Toronto did what it had to do to advance.
Post 86 plated a run in the top of the seventh inning and another in the eighth to pull out a 3-2 victory over Richmond in an elimination game in the Region 7 American Legion Baseball Tournament Saturday afternoon at the Knight Baseball Complex.
"They scrapped," Toronto (11-18) head coach Steve Sninchak said. "It was a three-inning game, and the kids got it done. They did what they had to do. They scrapped their way through."

CLOUD OF DUST — Toronto's Jay Lane scores past Richmond Post 740 catcher Storm Mohn during Friday's action in the Region 7 American Legion Baseball Tournament. The game was halted by weather and completed Saturday at the Knight Baseball Complex, with Post 86 earning a 3-2 victory.
The loss eliminated Post 740 from the tournament.
"It didn't turn out the way we wanted," Richmond (10-25) head coach Sam Davis said. "That game kind of sums up our season. We were playing our best baseball in the tournament. We have had games like this all year. We just didn't do enough. We gave them three-unearned runs. In a nine-inning game, you have to score more than two runs."
Saturday's action was the continuation of a game started Friday. The game was called due to the severe weather that hit the area Friday. The game was suspended with Post 740 leading 2-1 with two outs in the top of the sixth.
Fact Box
Toronto 3, Richmond 2
Toronto 000 010 110 - 3 7 1
Richmond 200 000 000 - 2 11 3
TORONTO (11-18): Owens (5IP, 5K, 0BB), McIntosh (WP, 4IP, 5K, 0BB) and Solomon; B. Glenn S, D; Owens S, 2RBI; Wilson S; Lane 2S; Cline S.
RICHMOND (10-25): Kramarich (5 2/3IP, 2K, 2BB), Marcus (LP, 3 1/3IP, 6K, 3BB) and Mohn; Marcus D; Wise S; Orr 2S; Mohn S; Krantz 2S, RBI; Scott 2S, RBI; Pasek S; Horan S.
When the game was called, Nate Stewart was at first for Post 86 after drawing a one-out walk. After a fly out, Seth Wilson was at the plate. Stewart attempted to steal second base, but lightning halted the game as he was en route to the bag. Stewart returned to first, and the game was suspended more than an hour after the delay.
Both teams ended up using two pitchers.
Jarin McIntosh recorded his second win of the tournament by striking out five without walking a batter in his four innings in relief of starter Tyler Owens. Owens also struck out five while not issuing a free pass in his five innings Friday.
Offensively, Owens ended up with a single and two RBI, Blaze Glenn tallied a base hit and a double and Jay Lane collected two base hits. Also, Ryan Cline and Wilson each contributed a single.
Nolan Marcus took the loss for Post 740. Marcus struck out six and walked three in his 3 innings of relief work. Marcus relived starter Ryan Kramarich as action began Saturday. Kramarich recorded two strikeouts and two walks in his 5 innings.
Richmond ended up outhitting Toronto in the game, but Post 740 failed to capitalize on some opportunities. Both of Post 740's runs crossed the plate in the first inning.
Individually, Tyler Krantz and Collin Scott each had two singles and an RBI, Sammy Orr recorded two singles and Marcus doubled. Also, Tanner Wise, Storm Mohn, Josh Pasek and Austin Horan all collected a base hit.
"You have to give their pitchers credit," Davis said. "Tyler Owens pitched the first part of the game and McIntosh pitched the second part. I tip my hat to them. They did a great job.
"They did enough to win. They forced our hand, and we made mistakes. That's baseball.
"We made some good contact, but we hit it right at them. In the ninth inning, we have a 3-0 count, and we hit the ball into right field. The ball is just low enough for their second baseman to jump up and catch it.
"Somebody has got to win, and somebody has got to lose. We lost."
When play began Saturday, Sam Pinkerton replaced Wilson in the batters' box. Marcus struck out Pinkerton to end the inning.
In the seventh, Lane led off the inning with his first hit of the game. Lane ended up coming around to score the tying run on a groundout to second by Owens, and the teams headed to the eighth all tied at 2.
In the eighth, Billy Solomon led off with a walk. After a strikeout, Solomon was forced out at second on a fielder's choice on a possible double play ball off of the bat of Chez Glenn. The throw back to first got past Scott allowing Glenn to not only reach safely, but he ended up on second base.
In almost a replay of a play Friday, Glenn appeared to be tagged out at second before reaching the base, but he was called safe on the play. He ended up scoring on an errant throw to third while he was attempting to steal the base. The throw ended up going down the line in left.
The run put Toronto out in front 3-2, and McIntosh was able to shutdown Post 740 in the next two innings to pull out the victory.
"Jarin McIntosh did a heck of a job in relief or starting or whatever you want to call it," Sninchak said. "We got the hits when we needed them.
"I am proud of the kids for the way they played. I can't ask for anything else."
Richmond score both of its runs on back-to-back run-scoring singles by Krantz and Scott in the opening frame to take a 2-0 lead.
"We are just so thankful. Thank God we are able to come out here and play the game of baseball," Davis said.
"We accomplished what we wanted to this year. All of the kids got better whether they are moving on to college or for high school baseball. Everyone benefitted from all of the games we got to play.
"I enjoyed it. They are great kids. They are a great team. I wish Toronto luck."
Alec Jones and Orr are the two players Richmond will be losing from this year's team.
"They each played for three years," Davis said. "I appreciate everything they did. Everyone else can comeback."
Toronto opened the tournament by losing to Massillon Monday, but Toronto defeated Coshocton in an elimination game Thursday before defeating Richmond.
Wayne defeated Massillon Tuesday before falling to Steubenville Thursday at Vaccaro Field.
"We have our work cut out for us," Sninchak said. "We are going to compete. We are going to give what we have got. This is the tournament. This is baseball. Anything can happen."
What happened was Wayne County plated five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning en route to a 6-3 victory over Toronto.
Wayne County will now play Tuscarawas County in an elimination game at 3 p.m. today back at the Knight Baseball Complex.
Post 86 ended the season with a record of 11-19.

8 (Pointless) Laws All Comic Book Movies Follow
Hollywood is a land of money and cowardice. Every big film is basically a $150 million gamble, so they tend to play it safe and stick to a successful formula.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the genre of big-budget superhero franchises, where it's been decided that you must follow most if not all of the eight rules below:
#8. The First Film Requires a Tedious Origin Story
For some unknown reason, tradition states that the first movie must consist largely of something no one in the audience paid to see: The superhero as he lived before he could do any cool superhero stuff.
Other genres don't feel the need to do this; Die Hard didn't spend the first half of the movie with John McClane taking target practice, Rambo didn't spend an hour showing Rambo in basic training. Why can't we just jump in?
Instead we have to watch Peter Parker struggling as a photographer, and Bruce Banner quietly working as a scientist, as if we must first appreciate the tedium of their regular lives before we get to see them jump off an exploding building.
And to double the problem, they usually throw in an origin story for one or more of the villains, too. Behold! Here is the awesome badass supervillain, back when he was just a disgruntled dude in a lab coat!
Often to save time they'll cram those two origin stories together, by having the main villain kill off the hero's parents (regardless of whether or not it happened in the comic book) simultaneously starting their respective careers in superheroism and supervillainy.
A young Joker kills Bruce Wayne's parents, Robin's are trapezed to death, Kingpin kills Daredevil's dad
Also ...
In Spider-Man 3, the previous origin story is changed so that the current villain (The Sandman, Marko Cain) is now the murderer of Uncle Ben, a plot point based entirely on the premise that none of the fans owned a DVD of the first film.
#7. The Sequels Must Have Multiple Villains
For the first film, the franchise always whips out the most prominent villain in the hero's rogue gallery. They don't have a choice, millions are at stake and if you go with a lesser villain there may not be any sequels at all. Unfortunately, this means that you're going with a decreasing grade of villain for the rest of the series.
He's made of sand
Thus introduces the Multiple B-List Villain Rule: Since the best villain has been used in the first film, all sequels must use a minimum of two less-popular villains. Quantity to make up for quality. Michael Keaton's Batman fought the Joker first, then found himself simultaneously taking on the combination of the Penguin and Christopher Walken. Superman fights Lex Luthor in the first film, in the second he's going up against Lex and three supervillains.
They do sometimes cheat this rule by trying to bring back the first villain as often as possible, regardless of whether the villain died in the first movie. They'll film flashbacks if necessary. Lex Luthor, Magneto, Dr. Doom and the Green Goblin have all appeared in nearly every single film in their respective franchises--two of them returning from on-screen deaths, proving that nothing is impossible in a world where big box office dollars are at stake.
Also ...
Interestingly (or bafflingly, depending on your point of view) the villains often turn up in a predictable pattern: the Brain, the Bod and the Bumbler.
Ms. Teschmacher (the Bod) Otis (the Bumbler) Lex (the Brains)
The Brain is the planner and nearly always creates the main conflict the heroes must resolve. However, since the plan is usually very simplistic and takes about two seconds of screen time to explain, the Brain spends most of their screen time heaping verbal or even physical abuse on the Bumbler.
Bod -> Brains -> Bumbler
The Bod is usually there to show cleavage, wear tight leather pants and show partial nudity. Some market research suggests this appeals to comic book fans.
The Bumbler began as just that, a character who shuffles around, usually screwing up the simplest of assignments. However, this role has evolved into a mute or retarded character with great physical strength but little in the way of brains. However, they are still the target of jokes and abuse by other characters. Plus, they often provide many of the film's comic relief which may or may not be gut-wrenchingly awful.
No one knows why this formula has been used so often. Perhaps it is some sort of primal urge in humanity where the three faces represent the three ages of man. Or, perhaps there's some deep psychological comfort in triangles or groups of three. Maybe it's a subconscious representation of the Holy Trinity or a subliminal image of the Masonic Pyramid.
Or, maybe Hollywood executives think we're fucking imbeciles.
You get the idea.
#6. In Part 2, the Hero Must Reveal His Identity to Someone
Look, Hollywood, the whole "secret identity" thing is there for a reason. In the comic, a hero's secret identity is the only way they prevent their enemies from sending wave after wave of henchmen after them and their families and friends. Yet, in the transition to film, secret identities are often the first casualty.
Secret identities are usually revealed in the second film in the franchise, to a girlfriend, family member or even the villain. For instance in Superman II, a Superman who is desperate to get into Margot Kidder's pants reveals his secret identity, undergoes possibly permanent genetic damage by using radiation to get rid of his powers, walks from the North Pole to Alaska, and gets a good beating along the way. Hope she was worth it, dude.
Michael Keaton, also in an effort to get into somebody's pants, reveals his secret identity in Batman Returns to his girlfriend and the Penguin, also revealing a previously unknown fact about Batman: his mask is made out of Fruit Roll-Ups.
Though neither of them can even come close to touching Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2, who reveals his identity to:
a) Harry Osbourne
b) Mary Jane Watson
c) Dr. Octopus
d) A subway train full of passengers
It was almost like that last season of Ellen where every episode was about her telling some new group of strangers that she's a lesbian. But remember: THAT WAS THE LAST SEASON OF ELLEN.
Also ...
There is with this rule the Doomed Franchise Corollary: If the film is not likely to have a sequel (Daredevil) and/or incredibly stupid (Daredevil) then what the hell, go ahead and reveal the secret identity to someone in the first film.
#5. Part 3 Must Feature an Evil Version of the Hero
Hollywood hates boy scouts, so nearly all heroes have to turn evil, at least temporarily. Nearly always, this change occurs in the third film of the series. Usually the hero somehow has to fight the evil version of himself, demonstrating with some of the most ham-fisted symbolism possible that the real villain is within ourselves. Get it?!
Most of us are still having nightmares about Spider-Man 3, where Peter Parker, under the control of the alien symbiote, turned into the love child of Alex from A Clockwork Orange and John Travolta from Saturday Night Fever, while looking oddly like a lesbian biker.
The evil symbiote then bonds with Eddie Brock to become Venom, the evil version of Spider-Man, and they fight to the death.
Only slightly less ridiculous was Superman 3. Unable to figure out the "secret ingredient" for kryptonite, Gus Gorman substitutes cigarette tar into the formula, which causes Superman to turn into an alcohol-fueled sex machine. This then causes Superman to split into a Good and Bad Superman, which then, you guessed it, fight each other to the death.
Also ...
They found another way to handle this in X-Men 2, since they have a group of heroes, they were able to mix it up a little bit by just having some of the heroes turn on each other.
Thus Phoenix must fight a brainwashed Cyclops, a brainwashed Professor X almost kills everybody, a brainwashed Nightcrawler almost kills the President and Wolverine must fight a brainwashed Lady Deathstryke. As an added bonus, Lady Deathstryke is the evil twin of Wolverine, but less hairy and almost as hot.
Another variation occurs in Batman & Robin, where a mind-controlled Batman and Robin, apparently under the hypnotic control of Poison Ivy, argue about who gets to pork her.

I know that having a high chaos would cause the game to be more difficult. So I'm wondering how could I keep it low and avoid killing methods that would raise the chaos.
I believe all killing methods result in increased chaos. Since there are apparently non-lethal methods for disposing of your main targets, this might include them. Note that if you use non-lethal methods to dispose of guards and the like, rat swarms can still devour bodies and this might count towards increasing chaos (or missing achievements). There are "safe" places to dispose of bodies (like garbage containers). Elevated surfaces can also be safe, but if a body is not in a garbage bin there is a chance it will show up as "found" at the end of a mission (as near as I can tell). Generally I think sticking bodies on tables in isolated rooms is safe.
Also, see this PCGamer article. Highlights:
From a Bethesda forums post by Gstaff, a Community Manager at Bethesda Softworks:
How does the Chaos system work? How do I raise or lower the Chaos level that is displayed on the end mission stats screen?
How do I lower the Chaos rating?
I'm getting stats for bodies being found or killed when I've rendered NPCs unconscious, why?
Situations that could lead to an NPC being killed inadvertently:
To prevent rats from eating an unconscious body (including unconscious Weepers, which are also vulnerable to rats), see the answers to this question: How do I prevent rats from eating a corpse that I left unattended? Also, is this a bad thing?
This is very hacky, but by default the game has a soft limit of 5 and a hard limit of 10 corpses in one area, so if you have a bunch of unconscious people heaped in a floppy pile and approach them with another slung over your shoulder, there's a good chance one or two will disappear out of respect for framerate.
N.B. If you love the ten-snoring-guys-overflowing-from-a-toilet-stall vibe, you can adjust the settings:
in the config file
The settings are under the
It made my lethal playthrough a lot more spectacular when it came back to surveying a completed level from high above, I can tell you that. Kind of makes you feel guilty for all the carnage you caused when the corpses start to literally pile up.
As stated earlier all killing methods increase the general chaos of the city. Some good tips for keeping the chaos low are: always have a full quiver of sleep darts with the combat upgrade, as they allow just knock out a guard instead of killing them and stops them from alerting others.
Also max out your blink and bend time skill because combining the two will allow you to quickly remove yourself from any violent situation.
A third helpful bit would be upgrading your boots as it allows you to walk quieter.
Finally you can find the strong arms bone charm, which allows you to choke enemies much faster. However the problem is that bone charms are randomized. I have not been able to find if they are randomized from when you start a playthrough or just at the beginning of each mission. If it is each mission simply save before right before you end the previous one and then rush through the next grabbing bone charms and restarting until you get it. If it is from the beginning of your playthrough then you just need to hope to get lucky. Hope this helps :)

DHAKA, Bangladesh (CNN) -- Wal-Mart Stores Inc. put some distance Monday between it and the clothing factory in Bangladesh that caught fire over the weekend, killing more than 100 people.
The factory in question was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart, the company said.
"A supplier subcontracted work to this factory without authorization and in direct violation of our policies. Today, we have terminated the relationship with that supplier," Wal-Mart said.
The clothing factory, housed in a multistory building near the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka, caught fire Saturday night. More than 100 people were killed and at least 200 were injured as they rushed to escape the factory in Ashulia, police said.
"How the factory caught fire, I don't know. But when we heard 'fire,' we all rushed out and we were trying to get out of the factory," said Parul Begum, a survivor.
"One factory worker broke a window and one of the workers pulled me through. After the fire, we tried to run out the door, but it was locked. When the floor (became) dark with smoke, the boys came to rescue me," she said.
Thousands of workers from dozens of clothing factories in Ashulia took to the streets Monday to protest the deaths of their colleagues. The protesters blocked traffic and demonstrated for several hours, demanding compensation and a full investigation into what happened.
The Bangladeshi government has ordered such an investigation, asking two committees to file reports within a week.
It has also announced a period of national mourning Tuesday for those killed at the factory and for the victims from a recent overpass collapse in southeastern Bangladesh.
All apparel factories will be closed Tuesday, and special prayers will be offered at mosques, churches and temples, the government said.
Even as Bangladesh prepared to mourn the deaths, firefighters battled a blaze at another apparel factory near Dhaka on Monday.
Police and witnesses said the latest fire, at a 10-story clothing factory in the suburb of Uttara, began Monday morning, and firefighters took about four hours to bring it under control.
"Firefighters have brought the flames under control, and no one died in the incident," Brigadier Gen. Abu Nayeem Mohammad Shahidullah, director general of Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense, told reporters.
Local police said at least 10 people were injured in Uttara as they jumped from windows to escape.
They said the fire began on the second floor, where a large quantity of fabric and yarn were stored, and it spread immediately to the fourth floor. Bangladesh's ready-made garments make up 80% of the country's $24 billion in annual exports.
The country has about 4,500 garment factories that make clothes for stores including Tesco, Wal-Mart, J.C. Penney, H&M, Marks & Spencer, Kohl's and Carrefour. The sector earned $19 billion this year as of June.
The state-run news agency Bangladesh, Sangbad Sangstha, recently reported that some 6,000 people die every year in fires in Bangladesh.

I just recently set up Google Apps (Standard) on my domain, and I have a catch-all e-mail address on it that I pull e-mail from locally, so I can easily receive e-mail to
firstname.lastname@example.com. Now I want it to work in reverse -- I want to be able to send from any arbitrary address on my domain, by just including a
From: email@example.com header with my message. Unfortunately Gmail will rewrite the header to use whichever e-mail address I authenticated as. Since
firstname.lastname@example.com doesn't actually exist (the incoming e-mails to it are caught by the catch-all, so there's no need to make an actual
foo account), I can't authenticate as it; I have to authenticate as my catch-all address, and then the e-mail shows up as sent from that address regardless of the
From header. Gmail does support adding additional valid From addresses (in Settings -> Accounts), but I don't want to do that every time I have a new
email@example.com I want to send from. Is there a way to tell Gmail/Google Apps "I control all e-mail from example.com, as long as the from address is on that domain just leave it alone"?
I just recently set up Google Apps (Standard) on my domain, and I have a catch-all e-mail address on it that I pull e-mail from locally, so I can easily receive e-mail to
No, there is no way to do this at this time.
Your only option using Gmail's interface is to add the address as a "Send mail as" address.
As far as I know it's just not yet possible to "delegate whole domain" on gmail.
But you can do it using a IMAP client such as Thunderbird:
About your other unintended question that I accidentally took as the actual question before:
Yes there is. Just add a domain alias!
It will behave just like you expect: it points everything from the alias to the main and makes all of them work seamlessly together.

6 Abandoned Sites That Would Make Great Supervillain Lairs
Abandoned places come in many flavors, from creepy to cool to flat-out unbelievable. But let's be honest: What you're really looking for in forgotten real estate is its ability to help you in your quest to crush the world beneath your iron boot of terror. Well boy howdy, is today ever your day. Let your minions rejoice as you reveal to them your new base of operations, completely empty and ready for mayhem.
#6. Hasard Cheratte
Before you start your career as Lord of Terror, it's important to look within your withered heart and ask yourself, "What do I really want from my Citadel of Fear?" Do your dramatic speeches require tall towers and platforms? Will your weapons of mass doom need plenty of secretive storage space? Are you looking for an ominous entrance? Perhaps you need some ancient machinery creepily clanking away in the background, implying that sinister machinations are at work?
Rossifumi Photography
Lash your victim to a wheel and give it a spin!
If you chose anything besides "all of the above," we're sorry to tell you that you're not cut out for a life in evil. The rest of you should take a trip to Hasard Cheratte.
Frits Vrielink
It looks post-apocalyptic. Soon, the whole world will.
Located in the sleepy Belgian town of Cheratte at the very heart of Europe, this massive abandoned mine complex combines an ominous facade with a dignified title, much like Baron Destro, to form the perfect location for some old-fashioned continental terrorism. It offers all the amenities your villainous soul could desire, including a Gate of Evil, a mansion-like exterior, a looming Dark Tower, industrial equipment that could easily double as torture devices, and vast underground caverns over 1,300 feet deep for doomsday device/giant-mech-with-your-own-face parking. The fact that it features plenty of multi-platformed, elevated corridors for parkour-fighting Belgian private detectives should go without saying.
Ben Schreck
Great as a combat arena, impractical as anything else.
The mine has been abandoned since 1977, and since Hasard Cheratte is considered a protected heritage site, the very laws designed to keep it untouched make it ripe for hostile takeover. All that's keeping you from setting up evil shop is some barbed wire, a polite "keep away" sign, and an army of mustachioed, beret-wearing sentient gorillas.
#5. Nassau Coral World
Water-based lairs are usually a safe bet. Any secret agents attempting to storm your fortress will have to do it in scuba gear, leaving them delightfully defenseless against your platoon of sting rays armed with buzz saws. Superheroes are even less of a risk -- Aquaman sulks for months if anyone else sets foot in his jurisdiction, which means the only hero likely to come after you is, well, Aquaman. And brother, if you're worried about Aquaman, you need to find a new line of work.
Jerrye & Roy Klotz, MD
Besides, you have a special room for him, with cellmates Bitey and Maw.
On the other hand, land lairs are easier to manage, as supply runs on sea fortresses are a right proper bastard to organize and you've got to fly the mildew guy in, like, every week. If only there was some way to combine the two ...
Pelleg Architects
And your enemies might not even notice it, distracted by the random breast buildings to the north.
Easy to defend and even easier on the eye, your aquatic death ray will find no better home than Nassau Coral World. Located on the small island of Silver Cay in the Bahamas, Coral World was a beach resort, aquarium, and observatory built in 1987. It was quite popular right up until it received a face full of Hurricane Floyd in 1999, rendering it unsafe for tourists. Its owners, not willing to risk the wrath of Mother Nature for a second time, decided to abandon it.
Sure, intruders will try crossing the bridge, but that's why you pack it with 80,000 tons of C4.
The rusting, weather-beaten hulk of the observatory tower now looms ominously over the coastline, surrounded on all sides by gorgeous coral reefs and, once you take charge, murderbots. Apart from the tower and its underwater observatory (which clearly is and forever should be the epicenter of your operations), the island features handy structures like a quaint villa hotel for your mer-themed henchmen and aquatic animal pools to hold your army of sharktopuses.
#4. Nara Dreamland
Since the release of The Dark Knight, many of today's aspiring supervillains opt for the insane clown path to megalomania (not to be confused with the inadvisable Insane Clown Posse path to Juggalomania). It's an easy road to start down, especially for the villain on a budget -- a costume is no further away than a thrift store suit and a raid on your sister's makeup drawer. However, searching for just the right base of operations can be terribly difficult: Your average abandoned warehouse lacks that certain joie de vivre, and running a traveling circus is too exhausting to leave you any time for evil.
Luckily, there's one place that can complement your murderously wacky antics straight out of the box: Japan's Nara Dreamland.
Totoro Times
You'll beat that statue's face flat, of course, and carve your own in its place.
Nara Dreamland began life in 1961 as a blatant Disneyland ripoff, but after being abandoned in 2006, it's been quietly dwindling into oblivion. Nature is reclaiming the park, turning it into a twisted version of its original inspiration. Its Sleeping Beauty-esque castle is bleak and tarnished. Its huge fountains are dry, revealing their spiky, rusting pipes. Its Main Street has become Elm Street.
Totoro Times
Park Street, not pictured, has become Jungle Avenue.
The park is mostly intact, but it's just broken enough to give off some serious Scooby-Doo vibes. Like the haunted house:
Actual winged guards aren't yet available, but we're working on it.
Or the cute little horses in the carousel:
Or how about the shooting gallery?
Michael John Grist
Witches belong in haunted houses. Tusked lizard bears, however, are everyday sights in Japan.
The whole place is a psychotic playground full of potential deathtraps and ominous smiling figures lurking in the shadows. Some call it haunted. Some call it condemned. For the low, low price of your sanity and basic morality, you can call it ... home.

Jonesville 5, Jackson Christian 1
Jonesville rebounded from a tough season-opening loss with improved efforts on both sides of the ball.
The Comets scored the first four goals on their way to a 5-1 win Monday.
The key for Jonesville was changes to their midfield lineup.
"Our midfield held together much, much better.," said Jonesville Head Coach Nathan Coe. "I anchored our defensive mid with Garrett Griffiths, he did a good job, and we controlled the middle better."
Jonesville got out to a 3-0 in the first half on a penalty kick goal by Noah Smith and two goals by Carter Ballinger.
They made it 4-0 in the second on a Caleb Taylor goal, assisted by Justin Smith.
Jackson Christian scored late, but Jonesville responded with a goal by Charlie Hudson on a feed by Noah Smith.
