Kansas also received votes, and is essentially ranked 27th.

NEW ORLEANS -- Bears general manager Jerry Angelo spoke diplomatically Monday at the NFL owners meeting about the importance of player safety when commenting about proposed rule changes for kickoffs.
Still, the Bears are expected to vote against changes to the rules Tuesday morning when the clubs convene again at the Roosevelt Hotel.
Proposed rules changes need a 75 percent vote from ownership to pass.
"I don't think it's going to negate the kickoff. We're still going to have our returns," Angelo said. "In Chicago, we've got two seasons. When the weather gets a little cooler, the ball gets a little heavier. I still forsee us having a lot of returns in the kickoffs. Player safety is our No. 1 concern; always has been. The commissioner has said it. We've said it as an organization."
As meetings came to a close on Monday, Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, who serves as chairman of the competition committee, said that after speaking with some coaches, his group is currently considering making modifications from the original proposal presented last week.
The original proposed changes to kickoff rules would have moved the launch point on kickoffs from the 35-yard line to the 30, in addition to moving touchbacks from the 20 to the 25, along with the elimination of all wedge-blocking schemes.
Angelo stressed the team's and the league's commitment to making the game more safe, but hasn't lost sight of the fact the distinct advantage the Bears currently possess in the kickoff game with dynamic returners such as Devin Hester and Danieal Manning.
Angelo said he would "definitely like the rule to stay the way it is."
"We're all playing by the same rules," Angelo said. "We have maybe the greatest kick returner that ever played the game. But it's still about the game. That's what we're fixed on. So we'll see how it goes tomorrow. But I'm still confident the play is not going to be taken away. That's all. It's just in the betterment of the game in terms of safety. I understand. That's what a lot of the dialogue [is]. Given the big picture, we get it, and everybody has to make a change given the big picture."
McKay said the average starting field position for teams is approximately the 27-yard line. But the Bears returned 16 kickoffs in 2010 for 30 yards or more, and 10 more for 40 or more.
The proposal to modify kickoff rules was designed to increase the number of touchbacks, which should simultaneously decrease the instances of injuries on those plays. The Bears are one of just eight teams in 2010 to have 10 touchbacks or fewer (5), and their touchback percentage (7.6) was third-lowest in the NFL.
"We're mindful of the statistics, the results that we gather through the medical people on everything; on every phase of our game: quarterback safety, defenseless players," Angelo said. "I think the commissioner, the competition committee has done a great job of making us very aware of everything in the name of the game, in keeping it not only competitive, but obviously keeping it safe. There's more research going on, more things that we're being made aware of."
Although Angelo made the politically-correct comments, his body language -- as well as what he wasn't saying -- told a different story about which way the Bears might vote.
Angelo declined to answer when asked specifically which way the team would vote on the proposal.
And, toting a brown briefcase down a hallway at the Roosevelt Hotel, Angelo paused as he was reminded that Hester is considered by some to be the best return man in NFL history.
His wide smile when acknowledging the sentiment sent a strong indication the Bears will vote against proposed changes to the rules for kickoffs.

Fins should let you use cooler water or faster-moving water, or both, and still get the same BTU transfer per unit time. Whether that's an advantage or not would depend on your circumstances.
Agreed. But if you have "enough" then you don't need "more" to make the transfer. And generic copper pipe is a lot cheaper than fancy schmancy, eh? And if you have "enough" you can dial it up or down at the source (the heater) or elsewhere (the pump).
For a number of unimportant reasons. One, the Auto-Circ scheme assumes the water at the pump (when the pump isn't running) lo

Skip to comments.Man's farting conviction overturned
Posted on 09/06/2001 9:53:52 AM PDT by SERE_DOC
An Australian man who broke wind in the foyer of a Melbourne police station has had his conviction for offensive behaviour overturned.
David Grixti had been fined $200, the equivalent of £71, by a court in June.
He broke wind in the station after being arrested for drinking offences.
The decision was appealed to the Victorian County Court, which has found him not guilty. The prosecution couldn't establish flatulence was a voluntary act.
A local legal services manager criticised police for taking action against Mr Grixti, saying it was absurd a natural bodily function was criminalised.
Police have refused to comment, reports the news.com website.
My brother and I used to "eff" into a Mason jar, close the lid, and ask my girl cousins and sisters to smell it, which they did. They would run screaming from the room. We all still laugh when we think about it.
So if you can't "can" it, you can at least "bottle" it. But don't expect to make a fortune.
Under the old British monetary system, this would have been equivalent to 80,000 farthings. lol
This happens in China all the time because they use those little Chinese finger cuffs. It's a country rich in gas.
No more calls please...
...we have a winner!
Anyone ever see my T&P "Smileys??
(giggling uncontrollably)
I'm afraid the FDA (Flatulence Detective Agency) were hot on the tail.
Depending upon the intensity of the flatus, if Australian law can't handle it, maybe the Chemical Weapons Convention comes into play...
A couple years ago my nephew and his wife had their first baby. This baby cried all the time. When he was about 3 months old I asked how was the baby. My nephew replied. " He is just fine now and quite pleasant since he learned how to fart."
Not around sparks or other open flames, I hope. Glass jars can become dangerous shrapnel.
Oh, I don't know - I'd call it breaking news! ;-)
That is *so* f-ing funny! :-)
She told the judge, "He's the wind beneath my sheets!".
Yeah, talk about "weapons of *ass destruction." ;-)
This is a good fart for the beginner. It is easy to identify. It start with a loud unnaturally high note, wavers like a siren, and ends with a quick downward note that stops before you expect it to. It sounds like something is wrong. If it happens to you you will know right off why it is called the Alarm Fart. You will be alarmed. The alarm fart however is rare.
This is any fart that gets its power more from being amplified than from the fart itself. A metal porch swing will amplify a fart every time. So will a plywood table, and empty fifty gallon drum, a tin roof, or some empty cardboard boxes if they are strong through being amplified in this way can be called an Amplified Fart. These are common farts under the right conditions.
People who would never in their life know one fart from another, who would like to act like fart don't exist, will have to admit that a Bathtub Fart is something special. It is the only fart you can see! What you see is the bubbles. The Bathtub Fart can be either single or multiple noted and fair or foul as to odor. It makes no difference. The farter's location is what does it. Maybe there is a kind of muffled pong and one big bubble. Or there may be a ping ping ping and a bunch of bubbles. The sound I should point out depends somewhat on the depth of the water and even more on the tub. If it is one of those big old heavy tubs with the funny legs you can get terrific sound effects. While one of the new thin ones half buried in the floor can be disappointing. But either way, as long as the water is deep enough, whatever the sound, up comes the bubble or bubbles and you have to be quick but glance back over your shoulder and you have seen it, the Bathtub Fart, the most positively identifiable fart known to man. It is a common fart and strictly group one unless you are a kid still young enough to take baths with your friends.
Like the great bald eagle, this fart is pretty well described just by its name. This can either be a group one or a group two fart and can occur just about anywhere. I heard it one time, a group two identification, in a crowded high school auditorium one night, right in that silence that happens when a room full of people has stopped singing the Star Spangled Banner and sat down. It came from the back. There was not a soul in that room that missed it. A fart like that can be impressive. The most diagnostic characteristic of the Biggest Fart In The World is it size. Fart freaks who go around showing off, farting like popcorn machines and making faces before they fart or asking you to pull their finger and then they fart, never have what it takes for this one, which is rare even among your most serious farters.
A silent fart identified by odor alone. Usually and adult fart, occurring while the adult is driving a car or has a front seat passenger who farts. The Burning Brakes Fart actually does smell a little like burning brakes and seems to hang around longer than most farts Which gives whoever farted a chance to make a big show of checking to see if the emergency brake has been left on. When he finds it hasn't you know who farted. A common automobile fart.
Either a group one or a group two fart. Very tricky. It is meant to be a concealed fart. A matter of close timing is involved, the farter trying to fart at the exact moment he slams the car door shut. It is usually a good loud fart. It is one of the funnier farts when it doesn't work, which is almost every time. It is a desperation fart and not too common.
Not to be confused with the Did An Angel Speak Fart, which is simply any loud fart in church. The Celestial Fart is soft and delicate, surprising in a boy or an adult. It is probably the most shy of all farts and might be compared with the wood thrush, a very shy bird. It does not have the sly or cunning sound of the Whisper Fart. It is just a very small clear fart with no odor at all. Very rare.
This is an exceptional multiple noted fart identified by the number and variety of its noises, mostly pops and bangs. Often when you think it is all over it still has a few pops and bangs to go. In friendly company this one can get applause. Uncommon.
The Crowd Fart is distinguished by its very potent odor, strong enough to make quite a few people look around. The trick here is not to identify the fart but the farter. This is almost impossible unless the farter panics and starts a fit of coughing or starts staring at the ceiling or the sky as though something up there fascinates him. In which case he is the one. Very common.
This is any loud fart in church. This fart was first called to my attention by my father. He probably read about it somewhere. For fart watchers who go to church, this is a good one to watch for as this is the only place it can be found.
It is necessary for a dog to be around for this fart to occur. People who fart and blame it on the dog when there is no dog within miles are making a travesty of the whole fart identification business, which is difficult enough as it is. This is always a silent fart but one with an odor you could blame on a dog that was dead. The farter tries to blame it on the dog. He will even go so far as to run the dog out of the house. Do not be fooled. When a dog farts it will usually grunt too. It may even get up and walk away. This is what you should do when you have identified a Dog Did It Fart. They are vile.
Some people might want to put this fart under the general heading of Musical Farts but I for one have never considered the drum very much of a musical instrument. It is a multiple noted fart of the same tone or pitch farted very fast. It sounds more like a real drum roll when now and then the farter happens to throw in a rim shot at the end, but you can not expect this every time. It should in no way be confused with the Chinese Firecracker Fart, which is by far the more colorful of the two, although the Drum Roll Fart is much more rare.
A very classy fart. The sound alone distinguishes it from all other farts. There are some who will say that this is a put-on accent, but that is silly. when it comes to farting no one goes around sounding like an Englishman. It happens or it doesn't. The sound it makes is, "thip". Sometimes it will go "thip,thip". It is unmistakable. It is probably as proper and upper class as a fart can get.
This is a punctuation fart. Timing is the whole thing. The farter, or someone, must be speaking. For instance, the speaker will say, "Ah,shut up!" and then someone will fart a loud sharp fart. This is a true Exclamation Fart. If the speaker is also the farter he may delay his fart until the right moment and then force it for all he is worth. If it works it is still a true Exclamation Fart, although more often than not it is an accident and for this reason rare.
A very loud clear fart by a very important person is an Executive Fart. It is either sharp or flat, somewhat off key, but otherwise a very business-like fart. No nonsense about it. But no one is supposed to notice. Particularly the farter. If you do not laugh at the Executive Fart this is either because you are scared of the person who farted or because the fart is so gross. Common with very important people.
There is probably no other fart about which there is more confusion or which has as many other common names.
It has been called the Scorcher Fart, the Burning Britches Fart, the Solar Fart, the Natural Gas or Front Burner Fart and other names. But its correct name is simply the Fire Fart.
It is called this because of the sensation it gives the farter when he farts. It burns.
For this reason it is mostly a group one identification fart. People can make all kinds of faces when they fart. A look of pain when a person farts does not necessarily mean the have farted a Fire Fart. Some people look pained when the fart any kind of fart at all. But as a group one fart there is never any question about it at all. You will wonder sometimes if it smokes. The only way this can be a group two identification is if it is confirmed.
You have to say to the one who farted, "Did that fart burn?" If they say yes, you have identified and confirmed a group two identification Fire Fart.
This will not happen very often. But this can also lead into the question of whether farts actually burn or not.
If you say to someone who has farted, "Did that fart burn?" they are apt to try and turn the subject away from themselves and start an argument.
"Farts don't burn, you dummy," they will say. Then if you say that as a matter of fact a fart will too burn, they will argue back that while a fart is gas it is not the kind of gas that burns, or that there is not enough gas in a fart to burn, or that you are weird. I have seen people who know nothing about the subject at all get quite hot about it.
A very wet fart. The sound is "f-z-z-z-z" or "f-s-s-s-s". It is almost a fart that fails, but not quite. There is an old saying, kind of a rhyme, which I have never heard all the way through, but it is about an old lady who "...farts and fizzles and rots her pants..." The fizzle mentioned here is the Fizzle Fart we are talking about. It is not always an old lady's fart, but it is always on the damp side and sounds like it. This is a common fart with senior citizens and people who eat fast foods.
Said to be the most beautiful of farts. Usually in a minor key. Soft and musical with many half-tones. Any long drawn out fart that seems beautiful to you is most likely a French Fart. Very rare.
If you hear a fart that makes you think of a dog it is probably the German Fart. It has either a deep growling or a low barking noise, or both. It comes from deep inside and never seems to get all the way out. Still it can be loud and frightening to small children. The odor varies, but not much, as it is one of the rank ones every time.
Any fart by a girl. A girl can fart a fart that will shake the walls or blow little birds right out of their nests, but the girl will never give a sign. You are supposed to ignore it. It may be hard to do, but you better do it. With girls this is the most common fart there is.
A one in a million fart and one of my favorites. This fart breaks on each step as the farter goes up a short flight of steps. Not a step is missed when it is a true Going Up Stairs Fart. It is probably caused by being a held back fart and the action of going up some stairs cuts it loose. If the fart goes up a note with each step you have the Musical Going Up Stairs Fart. There is no fart more rare than this one.
Another fart that hardly needs to be described. There is no one that lives and farts that does not know from experience what this fart is like. There is no sign it is on its way. Suddenly it is there. Just barely held back. Like a sneeze about to be sneezed. You know that any movement at all, even a thought, could set it off. And sure enough that is what will happen. A group one identification only. Very common.
Odor alone identifies this fart. It stinks of sulfur. Due to the sulfur content of hard-boiled eggs. While it is true that powdered sulfur will keep redbugs away when you are out in the woods it is not true that a few Hard-boiled Egg Farts in the evening will keep a whole camp site free of redbugs for the rest of the night. What it may do is keep the camp site free of other campers for the rest of the night.
The Harvard Fart is different from the English Fart in two ways. First, the sound is different. More of a "thap" sound than a "thip". The other difference is the way the farter acts about it. With the English Fart, the farter always acts as though nothing has happened. But a person who farts a Harvard Fart will give a sign. He will smile. Or nod. As if he has just heard from God.
A potent fart. do not be fooled by its name. It is only called the Incense Fart to be sarcastic. What happens is that someone farts in a crowd. A vile one. Since it cannot be ignored someone will say, "Ah, how lovely; Sandalwood? Jasmine? Gardenia?" Or whatever your favorite incense may be.
The sound of this fart may best be described as like organ music. However, in my opinion only someone really into farts would actually find this fart inspiring. Still, a sound like organ music is quite a fart, and if it actually gives you goose-flesh at the time it is probably safe to put it down as the Inspirational Fart. Rare.
This is a fart that seems to ask a question. Ends on an up note. Seems to say, "Oh?" or, "Well?" It can be a very silly fart when you are alone. As though you are having a conversation with your own ass. Fairly common.
Generally the Jubilation Fart can not be told safely from an Inspirational Fart except by an expert. Both farts are hard to believe. Like the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros. In the short time a fart lasts it is always hard to make up your mind which one it is. If you suddenly saw a hippopotamus or a rhinoceros for as short a time you would probably have the same trouble. The rhinoceros is the one with the horn at the end of its nose.
This is a fart that we could just as well do without. It comes from eating junk and it sounds like it. A "pish-wish" sound. Like a swinging door. As farts go there is really nothing to it. It comes chiefly from eating at a fast food restaurant. It can happen while you are still there. Still eating. It's that quick. In and out, no waiting. The same as the service they advertise. This fart is way too common.
Sometimes called the Suicide Fart or the Killer Fart. Kamikaze is the correct name. (Kamikaze means divine wind. For a fact.) It wipes out everybody. The farter in every case will have a crazy look about him. This is one of the ways this fart can be identified. The farter will be wiped out too. Any person who farts a Kamikaze Fart and brags about it is a fart fanatic and probably dangerous in other ways.
A person who farts while kissing another person has farted a Kinky Fart. This is a rotten thing to do.
The origin of this fart is interesting, if true. It was supposed to have happened at the University of South Alabama. What happened was that a strange professor was talking to another professor one day who happened to be a great one for making jokes and the strange professor said, "Do you like Kipling?" And the joker said, "I don't know. How do you kiple?" And the strange professor said, "Like this." And then he farted. This fart has a "kiple" sound.
This is a fart that is funny in any situation. Even alone. It is simply a fart that lisps. You will know it when you hear it. It can be particularly funny, a group two identification, when the farter happens to be someone who also lisps when they talk.
The Loose Board Fart has to sound squeaky, like a loose board you have just stepped on. Some people call just any fart a Loose Board Fart. Just to have something to say. These are the same sort of people who say the dog did it when there is no dog in sight. Listen for the squeaky, creaky sound.
The most gross sounding of all farts. It sounds like someone with his foot stuck in the mud slowly pulling it out. Identification is positive by sound alone. No other fart makes a wet sucking noise. Fairly common with tootsie roll eaters.
This is a special category. All Musical Farts do not necessarily sound musical. This may seem odd, but that is the way it works. Who would think, for instance, that Spanish moss is related to the pineapple? But it is. All Musical Farts are rare, and identification is often a matter of opinion.
Loud and soft, loud and soft. Goes on when you think it has ended.
A highly amplified musical fart. Can make a dog howl with pain. The farter doesn't care if you like it or not. You may not think it is musical but he does.
This is one of the few farts that can bring tears to people's eyes and lumps to their throats and otherwise get them all stirred up.
This is not a baby fart. The wha-wha is an electrical gadget worked by a guitar player's foot that makes an electric guitar make weird wha-wha sounds. Not all people would call the sound musical.
Another name for the Fire Fart.
Some people would put the Octave Fart under musical farts. This would be a mistake but some will do it anyhow. All small birds that look like warblers are not warblers. Some are vireos. The Octave Fart goes under "O". The sound of this fart is one note going up or down a full octave, quick or slow, loud or soft, major or minor. This may be a hard one to identify for a person who does not know what an octave is. Rare.
An unusual hollow sounding multiple noted fart. Sound alone is diagnostic. It sounds like a ping-pong ball which has been dropped on a table from several feet up and then bounced until it fell off. There can be quite a wait between bounces. This is probably the most rare of all multiple noted farts.
This is a fart by a very small kid. The kid farts and then says, "Go poo-poo now." And somebody takes him and he does.
This is a silly name for a fart. A lot of people will call it the Duck Fart. But it is important to remember that this is a double noted fart. And while quack-quack is the sound a duck makes and the sound of the Quack-Quack Fart, there is nothing to stop a duck from going quack just once, not twice. So that is why it is called the Quack-Quack Fart. Just to be exact. Fairly rare.
Somewhat similar to the Quack-Quack Fart. Mostly because of the Q sound. Very few farts have a Q sound. But the Quawonk Fart is single noted and far more soft and pleasant sounding than the Quack-Quack Fart. If you will say quawonk softly to your self, that is the sound.
Commonly called the Dog Fart. However a Dog Fart is actually a fart by a dog. It is beyond the scope of this work to go into all the animals farts. (I have been told that a mule fart can blow down a barn door and that pigs all fart like they are popping bubble gum, but none of this may be true.) Sound is diagnostic in identifying the Rover Fart. Any barking sound will do. "arf arf" or "ruff ruff" or "woff woff." Even "bow-wow", although a fart that goes "bow-wow" would be a pretty far out fart.
Surprisingly this is the only really dirty name for a fart in this whole work. But it is the right name all right. The action of the farter is diagnostic. He has farted and it itches. He just has to scratch. As a group two identification you have to make certain first that the person scratching his a$$ has really farted. Some people have a habit of scratching their a$$ about every five minutes. Common.
This rare fart excuses itself as it is farted. It is about as close to words as a fart can get. The sound it makes is like a little soft whisper that says, "S'cuse me." The most polite of all farts and very silly when you are alone.
A most unusual and perfect toned fart. Round clear evenly spaced notes. This one is really a beauty. Very rich ladies would like to fart this one every time they could. Very rare.
This unusual fart sounds like it is imitating human speech. About the way a parrot does. Only the Talking Fart does not really say a thing. People will look at you and say, "What?" All you can do is shrug or look dumb.
A tricky one to identify, even though it is probably more common than anyone wants to admit. It all depends on the situation or who farted. I will give some examples. You are alone with your girl friend and she farts. Or you do. It may be loud or rank or both, but either way it is unmentionable. Or you are in the principal's office and there is just the principal and his secretary and you, and you didn't fart but somebody did. Much as you might like to say it wasn't you that did it, you know better. Either the principal or the secretary probably feels the same way. But the other one is very glad that the Unmentionable Fart cannot be mentioned. Or they would lose some Brownie points for sure.
Very similar to the Car Door Fart, only here the farter tries to conceal his fart by making a lot of racket getting some gum or candy from a vending machine. He will even pound and kick the machine for some time after it has given him his gum or candy bar, waiting for the fart to happen. This usually doesn't work much better than the Car Door Fart, yet people, kids especially, will keep trying it. More damage is done to vending machines this way than anyone realizes.
Any good strong fart in a Volkswagen in the winter or anyhow with the windows closed is the deadly Volkswagen Fart. It can strangle people. While I am generally in favor of people farting whenever they have to fart, they really should try not to fart in a closed Volkswagen. It would be nice if this were one of the rare farts but it isn't.
This is an eased out fart that really works. Not everyone can manage it. It takes control. It is one of the most sly and cunning farts there is. You will know the sort of person who is most apt to fart the Whisper Fart. He will be sneaky about everything. This can be a hard one to get on your list.
The Xmas Fart is any ordinary fart that is farted at Christmas. That is the only special thing about it. That and the fact that it is a fart that starts with the letter X. An example of the Xmas Fart happened with me at school. It was not Christmas but the last day of school before Christmas. It happened in Mrs. Schlotsheimer's class. I was sitting at the back of the room right next to Harold Tabor, just the two of us alone. Being so close to Christmas I was sitting there singing Christmas carols in my head and not paying much attention and without thinking I farted a loud one. A regular firecracker. Head turned all over the room as can be imagined. I had to think fast. Hark the herald, I said. And I pointed at Harold. Everyone thought that he was the one. Harold is crazy about puns but he was not so crazy about that one.
This rare fart is a fart by a person sitting with their legs crossed thinking very heavy thoughts. The chance of a group two identification on this one is pretty slim, as who wants to hang around a person sitting with their legs crossed thinking very heavy thoughts. If it is a group one fart and you are really into Yoga then you should not even notice that you have farted. This could be a tough one to get on your list unless you or your friends are pretty weird.
This is the only fart that starts with the letter "Z". It goes "Z-z-z-zip." It hardly sounds like a fart at all. As a matter of fact there may not even be such a fart.

oh my goodness, ive been to a lot of hotels, this one......omg . ok i wanted a jacuzzi tub.not a scary as hell tub, the walls are held together with tape! the door didnt bolt to lock, the microwave has a square dish in it, so the carosel doesnt work, they unplugged it. fridge worked great. they have drapes over the bed but no window.( behind bed.) they really need to hope the city doesnt inspect them and its actually a shame, when i walked in the room, it feels very welcoming ( probably begging me for help) and the people seem nice, although the guy that i first saw and got key from had his wife come tell me 'you have to cancel with XXX' like they have done that a few times. but i told them im cancer survivor and im alergic to bugs, i didnt push a refund. i stayed because the room feels almost safe. sounds crazy...but its really too bad these people cant get a loan and fix up this place, it was probably quite the place to be in its heyday.
oh, as im finishing this up, the ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM ABOVE ME sound like they are about to come through my celing!!! it literally rattles the chair im sitting in

"For the first-full length album from D.C.-area songwriter, Tom McBride, these songs sure sound like those of a seasoned vet, barroom throated-wisdom and all."
"There is something wild and off the charts about the way McBride blends in various musical styles into a hybrid that is truly his own. And McBride's voice, it tells a story with every howl, every cry, and every whisper. "Like a Lion" has something for everyone."
"Like a Lion" boasts hauntingly familiar pop hooks and catchy harmonies amid smart songwriting and penmanship surrounded by a big band sound fit for a soulman like Bruce Springsteen. "
"McBride and band The Whig Party come on strong with Like a Lion, a rich and moody collection of reserved rock numbers that trade in excess and bombast of the rock genre for outright storytelling. Like a Lion is stark stuff, rich in imagery, the craftsmanship insistent on being atypical."
"Take a listen to Tom McBride and the Whig Party and you'll find a band that builds on a mix of country and rock with modern sensibilities. Their songs are rooted in solid instrumentation, steady rhythms and easy going choruses..."
"McBride sounds like Hubert Selby, Jr., or Charles Bukowski would had they been musicians. In other words, he sounds like Tom Waits, but with a much less-polarizing set of vocal chords, and a better band, to boot!"
"Like a Lion, the first full-length album from area singer-songwriter Tom McBride, goes in multiple directions within the context of folk rock… Listenable, danceable and fascinating. A winner."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
It's possible, you can simply use jQuery to substitute the 'meta tag' that references the cache status with an event handler / button, and then refresh, easy,
NOTE: This solution relies on the Application Cache that is implemented as part of the HTML 5 spec. It also requires server configuration to set up the App Cache manifest. It does not describe a method by which one can clear the 'traditional' browser cache via client- or server-side code, which is nigh impossible to do.
There's no way a browser will let you clear its cache. It would be a huge security issue if that were possible. This could be very easily abused - the minute a browser supports such a "feature" will be the minute I uninstall it from my computer.
What you can do is to tell it not to cache your page, by sending the appropriate headers or using these meta tags:
You might also want to consider turning off auto-complete on form fields, although I'm afraid there's a standard way to do it (see this question).
Regardless, I would like to point out that if you are working with sensitive data you should be using SSL. If you aren't using SSL, anyone with access to the network can sniff network traffic and easily see what your user is seeing.
Using SSL also makes some browsers not use caching unless explicitly told to. See this question.

This is an easy, flavorful recipe, and perfect to serve to company (especially if they like heat!), as an appy or as a main course. DH and I shared this and I served with white rice. I used a 3/4 lb. New York strip steak, trimming the fat off before freezing. I had no trouble slicing, after the 1 hour freezing time. I marinated the strips for almost 4 hours, and seasoned with simple salt and pepper, before grilling. The dipping sauce is spicy and warm, but not fiery. I may include some fresh ginger in the sauce next time (and there WILL be a next time!) Thanks so much for sharing, Luby, Luby, Luby!
This was an enjoyable satay dish. I didn't think it was packed full of heat. With all the wasabi powder I was disappointed in the lack of the heat. The beef was nice and tender, I did marinade it overnight. I cooked them on the George Foreman grill for one of our appetizer nights. I seasoned them with Johnny's seasoning salt. I will be making these again but using a different dipping sauce. Thanks for posting. :)

Vital air to babies cut twice - whistleblower
Is NZ's health care system good enough?Share your stories, photos and videos.
Relevant offers
A Waikato District Health Board whistleblower claims 20 babies' lives were put at risk after maintenance staff twice turned off their vital breathing gas.
The staff member - who emailed the Waikato Times under the pseudonym "Concerned Citizen" - said chaos ensued as alarms to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) incubators rang.
The Waikato DHB denies lives were in danger but admits that the shutdown work to enable a new medical gas pipe supply did not go as planned.
The whistleblower wrote that the incubators supplied a vital breathing gas called "medical air".
The medical air is the babies' lifeline and cutting it off could kill them, the whistleblower wrote.
"When the medical air was shut down for the first time - for the work to start - immediately all the alarms at the incubators for the babies went into alarm. Chaos ensued. The medical air was switched back on within a short amount of time."
However, after investigation and advice from the supervisor, the whistleblower states that the air was again turned off, again causing air to be lost to the babies.
"There was total confusion."
The whistleblower wrote that the maintenance staff were complaining that none of the drawings for the gas system made sense or were up to date.
The whistleblower listed key areas of concern: There was no standard operating procedure or training for the isolation. The person doing the work had worked at the hospital only four weeks.
There had not been enough preparation time. Management had ignored concerns about wrong drawings of the equipment for the past three years.
The engineering department is overworked and underpaid as services had been outsourced to contractors who charged six times the price of a normal staff member.
Waikato DHB spokeswoman Mary Anne Gill said its property and infrastructure team undertook the shutdown work on Thursday to enable a new medical gas pipe supply to the newly refurbished Ward E5 Waikids Medical Ward, on the fifth floor of the Elizabeth Rothwell Building.
"The work was planned well in advance and a risk mitigation plan put in place. Property and infrastructure worked closely with NICU staff and at any time, under their instructions, work could be stopped and in fact was.
When we felt this isolation was not going as planned, we reverted back to the original state and suspended the shutdown. At no time were any infants' lives put at risk."
Gill said the work was completed on Friday. "Waikato DHB can confirm we received an incident complaint form from a staff member on Friday which we will investigate."

Man arrested for shining laser pointer at N.Y. police helicopter
The Associated Press
NEW YORK- A 19-year-old man was arrested for shining a laser pointer at a police helicopter returning from an assignment near the Brooklyn Bridge, authorities said Tuesday.
The bright green laser beamed into the cockpit from the ground at Dyker Beach Park in Brooklyn late Monday night, temporarily blinding the officers, said Melissa Klein, an NYPD spokesman.
There have been similar incidents in New Jersey recently.
In December, a Paterson, N.J., man was charged with shining a laser pointer into the cockpit of a hovering news helicopter. Pedro Vega, 36, was charged with a variety of offenses, including interference with transportation and assault, for beaming the laser pointer into the cockpit of a WNBC television helicopter while it hovered about 1,000 feet away while covering a traffic accident.
And in November, David W. Banach, 39, of Parsippany, N.J., who had flashed a laser pointer at a commercial airplane, pleaded guilty to violating a section of the USA Patriot Act involving interfering with pilots of a passenger aircraft. The crew aboard the charter flight from Boca Raton, Fla., said the laser temporarily blinded two pilots, and they could not see their flight instruments.
Vega and Pepe were not charged with violating the Patriot Act because their alleged crimes were not committed against a commercial aircraft.

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Whenever i press a submit-based form button requiring the server to do something (links are okay), the response is a blank page. Within the Admin section, filtering posts based on category results in a blank page. Clicking "login" on the wp-login.php page? Same thing.
If I remove the Propulsion theme, everything is fine in the back end and front.
I've got Theme v1.2.1, PHP 5.2.x, and WordPress 3.3.1 — everything current.
I've disabled all plug-ins, but the problem persists. As soon as I switch to a default theme, I'm fine. Back to Propulsion, and the site stops handling requests.
The topic 'Blank pages whenever a submit button pressed' is closed to new replies.

I have a contact page running on a website of a client that I bought from a script website. It uses
class.phpmailer.php to send e-mails. I tried contacting the Author of the script but he is rather unresponsive so I thought I might try here.
I would like the script to support the Turkish Charset. Whenever an e-mail is sent with special characters like
ğ, etc. it will send the e-mail but the received e-mail will have characters like
ÅŸ, etc. instead.
I tried changing the charset in
class.phpmailer.php from:
public $CharSet = 'iso-8859-9';
public $CharSet = 'utf-8';
but this did not help.
Could somebody please point me in the right direction how to fix this. Could this be something in the PHP or do I need to change something in the server settings?

HDS' Yoshida on virtual data storage: Appliances don't go far enough
Hitachi Data Systems CTO Hu Yoshida discusses virtual data storage challenges and the effects of server virtualization on enterprise storage.
This Article Covers
Data Storage for a Virtual Environment
Hitachi Data Systems was a storage virtualization pioneer back when storage virtualization meant managing different storage systems in one pool. The debate then was whether that should be done in the array, the network or through software. Now virtualization presents a different challenge to storage administrators. It's about making storage work well with servers carved into virtual machines.
Free download: A complete guide to storage for virtual environments
Many storage admins consider virtual servers for a boost in agility – which is essential when supporting remote offices, new business applications, and unbridled data growth. But, if you're thinking of approaching your virtual environments with the same old storage strategy as your physical servers, then you're setting yourself up for a series of performance and capacity issues down the road. Download this invaluable guide, featuring expert tips and advice to help you architect the best storage management strategy for virtual environments.

We spoke with Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) CTO Hu Yoshida about trends he is seeing in virtual data storage, such as virtual storage appliances (VSAs), converged stacks and why virtualization demands scale-up rather than scale-out storage.
Do you still think the best way to virtualize storage is with the controller in the array?
Hu Yoshida: When storage virtualization began, everybody was doing it with appliances sitting in the SAN. We took a different approach: We said, let's do it in a storage controller because we're the target with the initiators.
Also, if you have an appliance sitting in the middle, you don't have end-to-end authentication. We're the legitimate target, and we can do the virtualization in the target so we can do end-to-end authentication. Appliances may be an easy and cheap way to approach it, but I don't think it provides a total solution.
What about virtual storage appliances, which use software and servers to virtualize storage?
Yoshida: VSAs provide some of the functions to create a virtual storage environment. But doing it with software takes [CPU] cycles, so the more things you add, the more the software has to work and the more cycles it takes, and you start to top out.
If you give it to the storage controller with more ASICs [application-specific integrated circuits] and more hardware-assist like we do, you can scale beyond what software can do. And software appliances need to cluster and communicate with other appliances, so you have that overhead.
Most virtual appliances are not complete storage management solutions. They may give the appearance of one storage space, but can you do snapshots, can you do tiering, can you do replication, can you do all these other things associated with storage management? Typically, they don't. Or they add another appliance to do the replication or another appliance to do other things. Soon you have a kluge of appliances that provide the integrated solution you're looking for.
How do virtual servers change the way SANs scale?
Yoshida: We think the virtual server environment really is a scale-up environment and not a scale-out environment.
Many people talk about this virtual environment with virtual servers creating a need to cluster storage together to be able to scale to meet the needs of these virtual servers. And they're scaling out storage, but it doesn't make sense to me. As I scale a server by adding more virtual machines [VMs], they're coming through the same Fibre Channel ports. That means the I/O load on storage will scale up. You need to have scale-up storage and not scale-out storage to meet the needs for the virtual environment.
So how do you scale up rather than out?
Yoshida: The way we scale up is we add more cache blades, more processor blades, and more front- and back-end ASICS on our VSP [Virtual Storage Platform]. These virtual systems are becoming like mainframes, so they need mainframe enterprise class storage, and that means multiple processors processing through a global cache. It's not a bunch of separate caches clustered together. That's where we are different.
You can't take a bunch of modular two-controller systems and meet the needs for a virtual server environment that is scaling up and adding more functions like VAAI [vStorage APIs for Array Integration]. You need to do dynamic tiering and replication on top of that, and that will kill those two-controller systems. You need to have something that can scale up and use 16 cores going against the cache image.
There are several approaches to building storage for heavily virtualized server environments. Some vendors offer VM-aware systems, others use converged stacks of servers, storage and compute, and there is a class of "hyperconverged" stacks with hypervisors built-in. What approach does HDS take?
Yoshida: We have our Unified Compute Platform for virtualization workloads. We have our own blade servers and we combine that with our storage. A blade server can run as eight separate nodes or an 8-way SMP [Symmetric Multi Processor] or do LPARs, which no other x86 platform can do.
So we have our own blade servers, our own storage and our own orchestration software that can manage all this. We present that through a vCenter interface, and we don't need to go to our VSP interface. Most converged solutions, such as [VCE] Vblocks, come certified in one rack, and you can roll it in the door and spin it up, but when you go to manage it, you have to manage it through a Cisco server interface and maybe another interface for storage. Ours is one management, one orchestration through a vCenter interface. And our plan is to do the same with Microsoft and Linux hypervisors.
There was a time when a lot of talk around storage virtualization was about managing storage from different systems and different vendors in one pool. HDS enterprise arrays can virtualize other vendors' arrays behind them. Do your customers do that much?
Yoshida: They do that initially to migrate data. We have a lot of customers who start that way but eventually they will migrate over to our storage solutions. If we virtualize an EMC system, you still need EMC software to do the bin files and create the LUNs. Once they create LUNs, we can see those LUNs and virtualize them and do other things with them. But you have to configure the EMC system.
Eventually, customers want to be able to manage the back end like they do the front end. So eventually they will migrate to our storage on the back end as well as on the front end. They run in production with another vendor's storage until it depreciates, but eventually it comes off maintenance and becomes costly to maintain.

Kenny Rogers
Kenneth Donald Rogers, 21 August 1938, Houston, Texas, USA. Rogers was the fourth of eight children, born in a poor area, where his father worked in a shipyard and his mother in a hospital. By sheer perseverance, he became the first member of his family to graduate. By 1955 Rogers was part of a doo-wop group, the Scholars, who recorded Poor Little Doggie, Spin The Wheel and Kangewah, which was written by gossip columnist Louella Parsons. At the age of 19, he recorded That Crazy Feeling as Kenneth Rogers for the small Houston label Carlton Records. Rogers brother Lelan (b. 1928, USA, d. 22 July 2002, Nashville, Tennessee, USA), who had worked for Decca Records, promoted the record and its local success prompted the brothers to form their own label, Ken-Lee, although Rogers single Jole Blon was unsuccessful.
