Hi there!
I've been writing since 2005. I continue to get writer's block as I pursue college, so updates will unfortunately continue to be updated sporadically. I have lots of ideas that need to be finished, edited and written. The ideas just won't stop coming and it's hard not to start something new. I could honestly be writing for the rest of my life. That's how many stories I have to write. Let's see...I've been writing my first book. I love to research everything, which is partially to blame why stories take so long to transfer from the mind to paper (or rather my computer)
I love throwing something medically related into my stories. I love exploring the human emotions--sadness, anger, joy, happiness, devastation. Yes, it's true...any emotions that are felt are put into my stories. While some people like to talk, I write. It's my form of speech when words fail me. As I like to think of it "The world is my oyster". Everything a person does has the potential to make a good story, in some way or another. Therefore, there's always a story to write wherever you are in the world.
Last but not least, thank you for reading my stories. It makes my day when I get an email telling me that I got a review, a favorite or someone following one of my stories. It makes me happy knowing that someone out there enjoys what I write.

Faces of Women (Visage de femmes)
|No Rating
|Comedy, Drama
|Release Date:
|January 1, 1999
|Running time:
|105 minutes
|Sidiki Bakaba, Kouadou Brou, Albertine N'Guessan, Eugénie Cissé-Roland, Véronique Mahilé
|Désiré Ecaré
|Désiré Ecaré
Description: Specifically, the faces seen in this contemporary comedy are those of African women. In a breezy, almost offhand fashion, the film examines the place of women in African society. Director Desire Ecare covers not only the big cities, but also many of the still-existing tribes. The hand-held photography brings a touch of verisimilitude to the script contrivances. Though clumsy and faltering at times, overall Faces of Women is well worth the time. Be advised, however, that the film contains nudity (not gratuitous) and suggestive situations.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Multifuel, sometimes spelled multi-fuel, is any type of engine, boiler, or heater or other fuel-burning device which is designed to burn multiple types of fuels in its operation. One common application of multifuel technology is in military settings, where the normally-used diesel or gas turbine fuel might not be available during combat operations for vehicles or heating units. Multifuel engines and boilers have a long history, but the growing need to establish fuel sources other than petroleum for transportation, heating, and other uses has led to increased development of multifuel technology for non-military use as well, leading to many flexible-fuel vehicle designs in recent decades.
A multifuel engine is constructed so that its compression ratio permits firing the lowest octane fuel of the various accepted alternative fuels. A strengthening of the engine is necessary in order to meet these higher demands.[1] Multifuel engines sometimes have switch settings that are set manually to take different octanes, or types, of fuel.[2]
Military multifuel engines[edit]
One common use of this technology is in the drive of M35 2½-ton cargo truck military vehicles, so that they may run a wide range of alternative fuels such as gasoline or aviation (gas turbine) fuel.[which?] This is seen as desirable in a military setting as enemy action or unit isolation may limit the available fuel supply, and conversely enemy fuel sources, or civilian sources, may become available for usage.[3]
Currently a wide range of Russian military vehicles employ multifuel engines, such as the T-72 tank (multifuel diesel) and the T-80 (multifuel gas turbine).
Non-military usages[edit]
Many other types of engines and other heat-generating machinery are designed to burn more than one type of fuel. For instance, some heaters and boilers designed for home use can burn wood, pellets, and other fuel sources. These offer fuel flexibility and security, but are more expensive than are standard single fuel engines.[4] Portable stoves are sometimes designed with multifuel functionality, in order to burn whatever fuel is found during an outing.[5]
The movement to establish alternatives to automobiles running solely on gasoline has greatly increased the number of automobiles available which use multifuel engines, such a vehicles generally being termed a bi-fuel vehicle or flexible-fuel vehicle.
Underperformance issues[edit]
Multifuel engines are not necessarily underpowered, but in practice some engines have had issues with power due to design compromises necessary to burn multiple types of fuel in the same engine. Perhaps the most notorious example from a military perspective is the L60 engine used by the British Chieftain Main Battle Tank, which resulted in a very sluggish performance -- in fact, the Mark I Chieftain (used only for training and similar activities) was so underpowered that some were incapable of mounting a tank transporter. An equally serious issue was that changing from one fuel to another often required hours of preparation.[6]

Most Helpful
A Messy Cook, I wasn't sure I was going to like this marinade because of the vinegar. The vinegar was almost too much for me but a really interesting thing happen while the lamb was cooking in my Kitchen Aid cast iron enamel pot with the basting lid 4 hrs. later at 325 in my convection oven {we are in Northern Canada very, very cold so when it's cold my oven takes longer to cook if the temp in the oven is high it will burn go figure!} the vinegar smell just changed to something wonderful. The rest is history a fabulous lamb meal! Will make again. Thanks for posting

Japanese scientists seek quake secrets in Parthenon designBreaking News
Japanese scientists will next month look into seismic resistance secrets in the design of the 2,500-year-old Parthenon which has withstood scores of quakes, a senior Greek archaeologist said on Friday.
"The Parthenon had great resilience to earthquakes, as did most classical Greek temples," Maria Ioannidou, the archeologist in charge of conservation on the ancient Acropolis citadel where the Parthenon stands, told AFP.
"The ancient Greeks apparently had very good knowledge of quake behaviour and excellent construction quality," she added.
Toshikazu Hanazato, a professor of engineering at Japan's Mie University and an expert in post-quake reconstruction, heads the Japanese research team which is visiting Greece next month to study the famed marble temple.

Topsy stopped working recently. It's not picking up tweets or placing them as comments in the posts anymore. Was working about 1 month ago without problems.
I have enabled Digg Digg (just to see if it picks up tweets) and it does. e.g.
Anyone know why this might be? I've checked the Topsy configuration and it's pretty simple and looks fine to me.

'Mythbusters' Bobblehead Update: Real Jamie Weighs In On Broken Jamie
I told you last week about the talking Mythbusters bobblehead known as Broken Jamie, and about my efforts to figure out what to do with him.
Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, word reached Real Jamie, and Real Jamie relayed some thoughts about the future of Broken Jamie.
The original Jamie, upon having his hand torn off, would no doubt stitch it back on himself using one of his shoelaces and his multi tool. In the appropriate spirit I would therefore suggest application of a tiny dot of superglue to the broken hand and re-attaching it, as you never know when an extra Jamie could come in handy.
— Jamie Hyneman
In other words, Real Jamie does not support recreational destruction, and does not understand why you would destroy a perfectly good Jamie just for fun when you could, instead, just glue his freakin' hand back on.
Well, that's very ... sensible.
I think I know how Real Adam feels.

Slapping flesh and heavy breathing.
From Kim Morgan, Sunset Gun:
When reading the request for greatest opening shots, the first film that popped into my head was immediate and almost too easy — "Kiss Me Deadly."
And then I reflected more.
There are so many masterful opening shots, some I find works of genius or some I simply love. But the more I thought about it, the more I drifted back to where my mind always manages to drift back to — stark, hard-boiled cruelty, paranoia, insanity and psycho sexual angst — so there it was again, "Kiss Me Deadly."
But for good reason. Robert Aldrich's masterful noir hits you with a hysterical bang that sets its frenzied tone with such balls-out experimental élan; you can't believe the film was released in 1955:
Before any credit sequence, the film begins with a pair of naked feet running down the middle of a highway in the black of the night.
The feet belong to a hysterical, heavily panting blonde (Cloris Leachman) wearing only a trench-coat. As the soundtrack intensifies, cars pass by but none stop. Desperate for a ride, she places herself in the middle of the road and stands holding her arms out in a V. Finally, a cool little Jaguar sports car comes to a screeching halt, blinding her with its headlights and swerving to the side of the road. She walks towards the car, roughly breathing and panting but with some relief. The driver, Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) is agitated by this mystery woman/potential loony, begrudgingly "rescuing" her with a sneer. He spits:
"You almost wrecked my car. Well? Get in!"
As the woman enters the car, you hear a velvety-voiced female DJ announce a Nat King Cole song on the car radio. With the camera placed behind our two characters (one absolutely frantic, the other as cool as a cucumber), the credits roll upside down against the highway's white lines. The only thing you hear is Nat King Cole's elegant "Rather Have the Blues" and the woman's hard, almost sexual sounding hyper-ventilating.
I'm still amazed by how totally perverse and subversive Aldrich's kick start remains. How many pictures, even current pictures, would have the guts to place a viewer on this kind of edge? But he's not playing simply for shock—Aldrich and cinematographer Ernest Laszlo instantly address the expressionistic, off kilter and monstrous universe we're about to enter. Un-relenting, sleazy, mean, disorienting, neurotic, psychotic and hopeless, Leachman is the crazed conscious inside all of the film's characters, maniacally running from a world that could explode (literally) by the opening of a suitcase. A seminal noir, a masterpiece of artistic pulp "Kiss Me Deadly" — opening shots alone — are exactly why the French praised Aldrich as "Le Gros Bob."
JE: You are so right, Kim. That opening image -- the bare feet and legs, the trench coat, the lines on the highway asphalt -- doesn't last more than a few seconds, but man does it have an impact. I can't help but think of Bunuel (well, feet), and I'm sure David Lynch had "KMD" in mind when he did the credits sequence for "Lost Highway" -- another sleazy, apocalyptic noir.

Imitating the seven primary energy centers of the body (that are aligned along the spine), this column of color and sound reflects the ancient Eastern philosophy of Chakra.
Thought of as "windows to the soul," each chakra has its own color and is associated with a particular virtue: stability, balance, energy, compassion, communication, intuition and receiving.
With its peaceful sound and energizing colors, this wind chime is meant to remind us to reflect on the inner workings of our bodies and minds and to give us a small window into the balance of the physical and metaphysical. Handmade in China.
The Seven Chakras:
Sahasrara (The Crown Chakra): Violet. Related to thought and self-knowledge.
Ajna (The Brow Chakra): Indigo.
Related to intuition and clarity.
Vishuddha (The Throat Chakra): Turquoise.
Related to sound and self-expression.

Significant Impacts
So if you aren't aware I got hit by a car while riding my bike this past monday, after inflicting considerable damage to the car, doing first aid on myself, taking control of the situation and getting myself to the hospital I didn't feel half bad.
None of the areas which came into contact with the car have any soreness or pain of any kind. But here's the kicker, about 2 hours prior I did CrossFit's "On the Minute Pull-Up" workout if you know what I'm talking about. Now since the morning after the accident I have been feeling like I've done about 8000 pull-ups, my lats are swollen, and I have some terrible elbow tendonitis and forearm swelling.
I feel great other than the fact that I feel like a guy who spent 2 days doing max sets of max pull-ups. I am thinking that whether it was a GTO response or not when I received the impact the force affected my previously worked muscles in a way I wish they hadn't.
Been soaking in cold water, icing, doing some pnf strectching to prevent shortening because I'm having a hard time straightening my arms. Opinions...

This is my anomymous profile that I am using to ask frank questions about the software industry and the software engineering labor market, without risk to my future employment prospects. I have been a software engineer since about 1989. Before that I was a digital eletronics engineer. I have two BS degrees, math and cs, from a flagship state university, which I began after the dot-com bust in 2002. I graduated first in a class of over 150, with a 4.0 gpa. I am currently unemployed and discouraged. Some days I am hopeful, others I am just bitter. Mainly I am trying to understand how the perceptions software engineering job availability and the realities of the same can be so starkly different.

Distributed water infrastructure (located at the community or the household level) is relatively untried and unproven, compared with technologies for managing urban water at higher (e.g. regional) levels. This work presents a review of currently available options for distributed water infrastructure and illustrates the potential impact of their deployment through a number of indicative infrastructure strategies. The paper summarises the main categories of both centralised and decentralised water infrastructure, covering all three flows (water supply, wastewater and drainage) and their integration through recycling and reuse. The potential impact of the identified infrastructure options for urban water management is examined. The desirability of the strategies examined, is dependent on (case specific) constraints to urban development, including for example regional or local water resource availability, treatment plant capacity, cost of upgrading infrastructure, potential for (distributed) energy (micro) generation and climatic changes (and other non-stationary processes). The results are presented and discussed. It is concluded that there is currently a significant potential for a range of improvements in urban water management which could result from the context-aware deployment of a portfolio of technological infrastructure options. It is also suggested that there are trade-offs between water use, energy use and land use, and these have an equilibrium point that is associated with the technological state-of-art. At a given technological state-of-art, further reductions in water savings signify increase either energy consumption (for high-tech solutions) or land use (for low-tech solutions). The strategies' evaluation indicates however, that until this equilibrium point is reached there can be significant gains in all three aspects. After this equilibrium, improvements in one aspect inevitably signify costs in others. The choice of desired trade-off then depends on the specific constraints of the problem at hand.

The Secret To Chess
Product Code: 15-C05
How Grandmasters Find Amazing Moves - Most chess fans believe that knowledge of the opening, middlegame and endgame is what separates Grandmasters from everyone else. While all of these are important, the truth is much more profound: Top players all have a deep insight into how to think about chess in ways that most players have never heard of. On this DVD, Maurice Ashley reveals a simple idea that will forever change the way that you see chess. He shares the secret he discovered on his path to the Grandmaster title, a secret that every player must understand in order to reach the highest level. Introducing his new term �Drawback Chess�, he shows that chess is often not about looking for a winning move, but more about searching to find the flaws hidden deep inside your opponent�s moves. With instructive examples and engaging practice positions, all explained with a clarity that anyone can understand, Maurice opens the door to a grandmaster�s thinking process that will put you on the path to real chess improvement. Video running time: 4 hours Maurice Ashley is an International Grandmaster well known for his dynamic brand of chess commentary and effective coaching style. He was a commentator for the Anand-Kasparov World Championship match as well as all of Kasparov�s epic computer matches.

Scouting Football Dream Teams
The NFL season kicks off in three weeks, but fantasy-football players are already looking to draft a team. With hundreds and even thousands of dollars in prize money up for grabs in fantasy leagues, some owners are hiring coaches to ensure their rosters are stocked with touchdown heroes.
We signed up with four draft-advisory services—Draft Analyzer, Draft Sharks, Rotolab and Rotoworld—judging them for ease of use, value, features and configurability to the myriad scoring rules used by various fantasy leagues. We evaluated the providers from Aug. 7 to Aug. 18, to see how often they updated their player ratings and draft projections. This became an important test when retired quarterback Brett Favre signed with the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday.
We also rated them on how easy it is to print "cheat sheets," a must for traditional draftniks who prefer reams of paper to streams of electronic data on draft day. (Cheat sheets offer a quick glance at their prospective draft picks.) Of course, we couldn't evaluate the draft recommendations themselves since the season hasn't started yet.
For those unfamiliar with fantasy football, the pastime allows players to join a league and become "team owners." Teams are fielded during an annual draft when rosters are filled with NFL players. Owners get points depending on how well their players perform on the field. While quarterbacks get most of the glory in the real world, running backs are typically the top picks in fantasy land. All our providers recommended Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson as the first overall pick this year.
There's a flood of fantasy football news and draft recommendations available free of charge on the Web, so why pay for help? One feature that sets the pay services apart from most free providers is configurability to a league's scoring system. Leagues differ in how many points they award for various on-the-field achievements. Some leagues award four points for each touchdown thrown, others give six. Many prospective draft choices will be less or more valuable depending on how the league parcels its points. For our test, we used scoring rules from a typical league hosted by CBSSports.com.
A good draft advisory service should have something for every type of owner. Some fantasy players believe in number crunching, others go by gut feeling.
Most leagues will draft teams over the next few weeks, but because some leagues were holding drafts during our test period, we expected our providers to have all their promised features available.
Draft Analyzer provides advice via a Web site and downloadable software. The company partners with several big fantasy-league sites, including ESPN.com and CBSSports.com. The Draft Analyzer software is available at the service's site or as part of a pay package at those sites. We ordered the $44.95 "Ultimate Package" from the site.
The software doesn't allow for creating cheat sheets and the feature where draft results can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet wasn't ready by the end of our test period. On the Draft Analyzer site, the cheat-sheet process was mind-numbing: It meant saving a Web file in XML format and then coaxing Excel to open it. Draft Analyzer founder Ted Kasten says the cheat sheets "were a little bit hard to find," but said a more user-friendly version would be available soon. Another negative: There were no updates to include Mr. Favre as an available draft pick by the end of the day Tuesday. On the plus side, we did like that we ripped through an automated mock draft in a matter of minutes.
Draft Sharks' Web site has few bells and whistles, but the service still provides plenty of useful alerts. The site's writers and analysts send out breaking news alerts via email, which is how first found out about Mr. Favre's signing. By Tuesday afternoon, Draft Sharks had added Mr. Favre to its list of recommended draft choices (No. 115 overall, No. 24 among quarterbacks). And it moved Mr. Peterson, now Mr. Favre's teammate, up a notch to the No. 1 overall spot on the theory that with Mr. Favre on the Vikings, defenses won't be able to focus on just stopping Mr. Peterson. (Previously, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew was Draft Sharks' No. 1 overall pick.) At $43 for a premium subscription, founder Lenny Pappano believes his team of writers can "out-analyze other Web sites." The draft recommendation board allows for an easy export to Excel, creating functional if mundane cheat sheets.
Rotolab is owned by software developer Merv Pate, who doesn't get involved in player analysis or projections. Mr. Pate has teamed with the Huddle (thehuddle.com), a pay fantasy Web site, to supply draft rankings to his DraftLab software program, although ratings were updated only three times during our test period. They weren't updated after the Favre signing. (Mr. Pate says the ratings will be updated daily about the time most leagues hold their drafts.) The software's export-to-Excel feature produced nifty cheat sheets color-coded by player position. DraftLab, which costs $29.95, is a software-only product; once the program is unlocked via an emailed code, it will run on only one computer.
Rotoworld is the biggest player on the fantasy football field, not surprising because the company is a unit of media and entertainment giant NBC Universal. For our $39.99 "Touchdown Package," we got Rotoworld's Draft Master software and entry to its pay-to-access Web site.
The software was the best of the bunch: fully configurable and loaded with features. The Web site has tons of updated news, player profiles and draft recommendations. Shortly after Mr. Favre signed, Rotoworld's Web site and software were updated to rank him as the 154th overall draft pick, No. 22 among quarterbacks. Cheat sheets were easy to make, and each had a highlighted column with ratings skewed to our league. There is also an export-to-PDF feature that produced an 82-page instant magazine filled with player profiles, latest news, current team-by-team injury reports, draft projections and statistics tailored to a user's fantasy league.
Rotoworld provided so much information and value it is hands down our No. 1 pick. We did admire Draft Sharks' tenacity and found its newsy and gossipy email updates useful and entertaining. While we would make Rotoworld our starter, we wouldn't mind having Draft Sharks on our bench.

Conviva, a startup promising a superior way for companies to distribute live internet video, has raised a big $20 million second round led by UV Partners, along with past backers New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Foundation Capital. The San Mateo, CA-based company, previously known as Rinera, raised $9 million early last year, for a total raise of $29 million. The company's technology is a bit of a mystery, compounded by the fact that it's raised so much money before having a product to sell. The announcement says the company is building a "virtual living room," though CEO Carlos Ramn didn't care to clarify what that meant in an interview with NewTeeVee. Sans any details about itself, the company is mainly speaking up about the weaknesses of current technology. Release.

Levee Blast Still on Track
Justice Alito Declines State's Bid to Halt Plan to Breach Mississippi River Barrier
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito turned down a request from the state of Missouri on Sunday to stop the Army Corps of Engineers from blowing up a levee that would send a wall of water over some 130,000 acres of prime farmland to ease record flooding where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers come together.
The state, which has argued the plan violated its clean-water laws and that the Corps hasn't done enough to consider alternatives, failed last week to persuade the federal district court in Cape Girardeau, Mo., and the federal appeals court in St. Louis to intervene.
In denying the Missouri petition last week, the federal district court judge found that the Mississippi River Commission's Congressional mandate to protect navigation on the river outweighed Missouri clean water laws and there was no indication that its decision making was in any way capricious. Neither the appeals court or Justice Alito found reason to overturn the decision.
Missouri filed its petition with Justice Alito, who oversees federal courts in Missouri and six other states in the Eighth U.S. Judicial Circuit.
About 200 residents occupying some 90 homes in the floodway were ordered to evacuate last week.
Risk Levels
See the latest data from flood gauges throughout the Midwest and South.
"Although we acknowledge Missouri finds itself in a very challenging legal situation before the Supreme Court, I want to make sure we exhaust all potential legal remedies and ask every possible court to review the plan proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers," Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said in a statement Sunday before the ruling.
"In light of the devastation faced by the citizens of Mississippi County—devastation that will persist in the area for years to come—it is the responsibility of this office to pursue every possible avenue of legal review," he said.
On Sunday, the Ohio River gauge at Cairo, Ill., passed its 1937 record. It was expected to continue to rise toward an expected crest on Tuesday a foot over the record, and stay at that level for several days.
After a few rare dry days, rain returned to the area Saturday and was expected to continue through Tuesday.
The Corps has been making preparations since last week to blow a 2-mile-wide hole in the levee and activate the Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway, which is 35 miles long and as much as 12 miles wide. The floodway is expected to act as a relief valve, handling about a quarter of the flow of the Mississippi and reducing river levels upstream around Cairo by three to four feet.
The floodway, a mix of public and private lands with easements giving the government the right to let water pass through, is one of four that the Corps has developed since the great flood of 1927 to minimize damage to people and property and maintain the integrity of the Mississippi River's navigation system.
Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, head of the Mississippi River Commission and a top Corps commander in the region, said Saturday that all four floodways might be needed to handle the volume of water coursing through the river system this spring.
On Sunday afternoon Gen. Walsh ordered engineers to move barges into position near Birds Point and begin filling pipes inside the levee with blasting agents, a process that is expected to take about 20 hours, according to an update on a Corps Facebook page.
The next steps include priming the system with explosive charges and finally activating the floodway by artificially breaching the levee.
But the general said he would continue to monitor the situation and hadn't made a final decision yet on whether he will order detonation of the explosives.
The high water is putting serious strain on the aging levees at Cairo. On Saturday, Gen. Walsh said the city was experiencing numerous sand boils—water flowing under the levees and bubbling up in a combination of water and sand inside the levee wall. He described one such sand boil as the largest he had ever seen.
If the boils carry away too much sand, it can undermine the levee wall. He said engineers had constructed a sandbag wall around the boil more than 12 feet high. "We're quite concerned about that boil," he said.
A snowy winter combined with intense rains in the last two weeks helped push the rivers to record levels. Normally at this time of year, the Ohio accounts for about two-thirds of the flow of the Lower Mississippi. This year, unusually heavy flows from the Upper Mississippi means the two rivers each account for about half the flow.
Last week, a levee in the town of Poplar Bluff, Mo., breached after water from the Black River began spilling over the top of the levee. About 1,000 people were evacuated from their homes—some by boat as the water flowed behind the neighborhood and prevented them from escaping by road.

SDCC: Marvel's "Doctor Strange" Combats "Death and Pain" in New Trailer
Comic Books, Film
If you don't already know the power of the Dark Side, you can probably learn with the newly revealed Star Wars Special Edition Notebook from Hewlett-Packard.
Part of the avalanche of merchandise tied to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the notebook boasts an Empire-inspired, battle-worn design featuring images of Darth Vader and Stormtroopers. The words "Galactic Empire" are even written on it in Aurebesh, in case there were any doubts about the computer's origins. For added effect, the keyboard lights up in signature Sith red.
Digital comics | Hewlett Packard's newly announced TouchSmart 310 — it's an all-in-one touchscreen desktop PC with a starting price of $699.99 — will give users access to more than 8,000 Marvel comics, thanks to a deal between HP and Disney: "TouchSmart users will now be able to buy and download special versions of classic comics, and then literally thumb through them with on-screen controls. More than 8,000 Marvel titles are available, which HP says is the most extensive digital collection ever offered from any content partner." [PCMag.com, TG Daily]
UPDATE: Marvel has issued a clarification, as well as an official press release: "HP TouchSmart Apps Center will offer streaming access to over 8,000 digital comics from Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited. None of these digital comics will be downloadable."

Dolphins Host the Falcons Tonight: What To Watch For
The starting squad for your Miami Dolphins has not been able to catch a break with the all the rain during the first two pre-season games. Against the Buccaneers two weeks ago, a rainstorm created a quagmire in Sun Life Stadium. Last week, the foul weather followed them up to Jacksonville where a lightning storm delayed the game for almost two hours. But the first-teamers should catch a break from the rain tonight when they host the Atlanta Falcons for their third pre-season game at Sun Life. What's that Weather.com? Ah c'mon! Stop being such a dick, rain!
Generally, the third pre-season is seen as the final dress rehearsal for the starters before the regular season kicks off. So, rain or no rain (most likely RAIN), we're expected to see the starters play until at least the middle of the third quarter. Here's what to watch for:
1. The Starting Center: The offense looked pretty badass last week. Chad Henne was sharp, tight end Anthony Fasano was a touchdown scoring machine, and the addition of Brandon Marshall proved to be a genius move. But we still don't know who the starting center will be. Three pre-season games in, and Jake Grove and Joe Berger are still trying to earn that job. They both need to step it up tonight if they want the starting center job. Someone should tell these guys the starting center job is made out of bacon.
2. The Receivers: With Greg Camarillo off to Minnesota, opportunities have opened for Marlon Moore, Patrick Turner, and Roberto Wallace. Two of these guys will make the final 53-man roster. The third will be thrown into a shark tank with slabs of raw sirloin cutlets tied around his neck. The Dolphins coaching staff is tough, but fair.

3. The Secondary: It's been a fantastic pre-season so far for second-year cornerbacks Vontae Davis and Sean Smith. And by "fantastic" we mean "a bucket full of fail." They've allowed some big plays to mediocre quarterbacks the last two weeks. Also, Davis suffered a chest injury against the Jaguars. Earlier this week, the Dolphins traded for veteran corner Benny Sapp while Nolan Carroll, Jason Allen, and Nate Ness are battling it out for roster spots. There's little doubt the starting cornerback jobs are Davis and Smith's to lose. But they need to step up their game starting tonight. It would also help if the defensive line stopped standing around during the game and actually put some pressure on the quarterback.
4. The Special Teams: Two games, two block punts allowed. When punts haven't been blocked, the coverage team has been porous, allowing Jacksonville to return kickoffs to the 40-yard line twice last week. Plus, no one player has emerged to take the kick-returner job. It's been reported that Tony Sparano spent extra time with the special teams during practice this week. He probably challenged each member of the special teams to a bear-knuckle boxing match to straighten them out. Because he strikes us as the kind of guy that would do that rather than, say, throw a hissy fit.
Game time is 7 p.m. and will broadcast live on WFOR Channel 4.

I'm working on an app where most of the touch gestures will be pan gestures (but I'm not using a pan gesture recognizer). I'm using
UIGestureRecognizerDelegate and using
touchesEnded, and
touchesCancelled. However, there are a couple of spots on the screen where if a pan starts there I want to recognize it as a tap event instead. I can do this by simply recognize the location in touchesBegan. My question is, can I dealloc the touch at that point to prevent the continuation of the pan? If a pan starts from this location in the screen, it's guaranteed not to really be intended as a pan by the user. I hope this makes sense.
EDIT: I've realized the extra overhead of managing a tap even for a point that should be ignored is insignificant, so I think I'll just do that. I'll keep the question here, though, in case there is a way to stop the gesture from continuing to be tracked.
I also need a suggestion for how to handle the following situation.
Suppose the user starts a pan (not in the area just described, but elsewhere where it really is intended to be a pan), and while the pan is proceeding, another pan is started elsewhere on the screen. How do I recognize this situation?
EDIT: I am now testing whether this code will solve this issue:
- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer {
return YES;
Edit: ARC forbids explicit dealloc, so now I revise my question to a more general one of what, if anything, I can do to suppress further action. Or do I just have to deal with it?

Re: I Have A Delete Letter - What Would You Do?
In my opinion, their delay or even failure to delete is not a disputable item.
Their is nothing inaccurate in their current reporting to form the basis for a dispute.
Agreements to delete are personal agreements between the parties, and are not the purview for CRA intervention.
Additionally, to dispute would require, as basis, documentation of their agreement to delete based on payment of the debt.
Such deletions are directly contrary to CRA policy, and thus a request for their enforcement is tantamount to a request that they act directly contrary to their own policy.
It's an oral contract issue between private parties, which are the enforcement perview of the courts.
I would call and ask that they follow thru on their promise. If and when they report, they need provide no reason to the CRA, and thus no issue of deletion contrary to CRA policy arises.

Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Hi forum!
I'm facing some difficulties getting my HP Scanjet G2410 to work on my newly installed Windows 8.
I've checked if the necessary services are running (WIA, RPC, ...), and that is the case.
When I run the HP Doctor for scanning and printing, I see that the "Windows (WIA)-scan" part starts, but doesn't continue. I've let it run overnight, but it just doesn't move any further.
Event viewer doesn't show anything out of the ordinary, so I'm kind of stuck here...
Has anyone experienced anything like this before, and found a solution? So far my search hasn't returned any results.
Thanks in advance!
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Sounds like you are having some issues with your scanjet. First have you tried installing the full-feature software and drivers from the website? I would unplug the USB cord and remove the software currently installed then follow the link below and install the drivers :
Let me know how that goes and I will get right back with you!
I hope you are having a wonderful week, and I hope that the weather where you are located is as beautiful there as it is here!
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Yes, I've tried both the full install and the driver only package.
None of both seem to work. After insalling the driver only, I tried to perform a test scan, but that one also got stuck.
If,Ihysically look at what is happening when I give the scan command, I see that the scan light doesn't seem to reach the glass plate. It tries to start, but see's to fail.
Any other ideas?
Thank you!
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
What method are you using to connect the device to your computer? USB, RJ45, Parallel to USB, Parallel to RJ45 ...
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Hi Spencer,
This is a normal, direct USB connection.
I've tried it in another port as well; that created a new scan device at first, and posed the same issue.
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
The computer you are using is it an HP or is it made by another manufacturer? I am thinking of the next series of steps we can take to resolve this, and I need to know that to decide the best path.
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Hey Spencer,
No, it's not an HP computer. It's a custom built system.
Before the reinstall it was running on Vista, and that worked perfectly. It's only after I formatted the system and installed Windows 8 that I can't get it to work.
It's a strange problem :-)
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
I would like you to remove the software as fully as you can from the computer. Then open the RUN dialog box and type "%appdata%" and open that folder and delete the HP or Hewlett-Packard folders in that file. Do the same for "%programdata%." Then open up your Computer, and in the C: drive find the folders for Programs Files and Program Files (x86). Delete the HP and Hewlett-Packard folders here too.
Then install the scanner again from the driver downloads and let me know how that responds.
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Hi Spencer,
Will this affect my printer as well?
I think I only installed the base driver (if Windows didn't automatically did that for me), and I don't want to lose my printing abilities (it's important that I can still print).
Re: Scanjet G2410 won't work under Windows 8
Yes, it will. I would uninstall all HP software and prepare to install both devices. I would do both from the drivers that are on the HP website.

Audi will launch a three-cylinder version of the A1 and the A3 could follow suit, according to Audi CEO, Rupert Stadler.
Speaking to Auto Express at the Beijing Motor Show, Stadler said: "In the A1 and the A3, the three-cylinder will be a standard engine in the future, for sure. It gives a good feeling and plenty of torque." When asked if the A1 would be the first Audi to get the tech, Stadler replied: "Yes, for sure."
But it may be some time before we see Audi's larger models getting three-cylinder engines. "I think for a while, we will stay with the entry-level products [A1 and A3] – I'm not quite sure if the market in the mid to long run responds to three-cylinder tech. But just look at it 10-15 years ago when six-cylinder was a must and now four-cylinder has taken over."
The Volkswagen Group already has three-cylinder engines as part of its range, including a 1.0-litre TSI petrol currently used in the Polo along with a 1.4 TDI. They currently produce a maximum of 89bhp but expect tweaks for more power in the A1.
Stadler also confirmed Audi's commitment to plug-in hybrid technology, claiming an Audi A6 plug-in would launch in China later this year, with other markets due to follow suit. A plug-in Q7 will also form part of the next-gen model line-up, and there will be plug-in A7s and A8s in future, too.
