Thanks Paul, Charles. Thanks DN for archiving this track.
good presentation -- good *(simple and clear) slides describing NVIC!!
prioritized and nested interrupts are common in most (medium to high end) applications I've been involved in ...
very nice presentation
Is it possible to see an example of a shared resource with nested vector interrupts?
Thank you Paul, very interesting session
No use of SYSTICK yet
Not on these devices.
Thank you, Paul!
@Chuck - yes, have used the interrupts before
@Chuck - have not used it yet
Great to have access to the recorded sessions.
Missed the live lecture due to travel...
Thanks Paul
I've never used Cortex
thanks Paul!
I finally showed up. :)
well, better late than never
bye for now
good day to all
good info
thank you
@LevitonDave: I suspect that the limit on the number of interrupts that can be pending at any given time is the number of interrupt sources (eg, devices) in your system.
CPSID to disable interrupt until task finish.
Ok See you tomorrow!
Thansk Paul - see you tomorrow.
I agree that the there is probably no chaining limit. However there may be a limit on the number of interrupts that can be pending at any given time.
OK folks, got to go, all the best, and
see you tomorrow...
Thank u so much
chain limit refers to how many one-into-another interrupts can
continue without context switching.
Reference documents:
ARM DUI 0497A - Cortex-M0 Devices Generic User Guide
ARM DDI 0432C - Cortex-M0 Revision r0p0 Technical Reference
(From NXP LPC-111x User Manual)
I would think that there would be no limit to tail chaining. If interrupts kept arriving before the stack pop, they would keep being serviced indefinitely.
what is the chain limit?
Different vendors with different tail chaining limits...
Hmmm, I don't know.... I will try to resolve this
question - as you've got me wondering now myself???
Thanks for the session Paul. See all tomorrow.
The memory for the stack push is that memory which is pointed
to by the MSP (R13) This can be fast or slow depending upon
the value is R13.
Regards the timing question: I have a bibliography as the last slide
of the last day. I don't think that super-detailed timing is shown on
any public documents that I have seen! Hmmmm.
@WarrenM - Some of these are vendor specific and their documentation needs to be referenced.
Paul Thanks, overall great explanation.
Is it possible that different wenders offer different tail chaing limits?
Where is the memory for the stack push? Is it internal tightly-coupled memory (falling in the 0x20000000 space), or external (0x60000000 space)?
@PaulN- Can you point us to a good document (maybe ARM Tech Ref Manual is the correct one?) for the fine details on Interrupt timing and functionality?
Registers and R3, R2, R1 not being as general as the rest,
yes, these are the defaults for stack framing, one might imagine
that the compiler takes advantage of these first, if one needs more
then manual stack operations are required.
thanks for going over the events Paul need to go over interupts just at the beginning...
Thanks Paul, I know NVIC is Nest Vector Interrupt Controller, what's the exact benifit in real applications?
I am sorry we ran out of time for the SCB, but
I will say a few things about it tomorrow and point
you to places to see more information.
Thanks see you tomorrow
I do not know the chain limit, that is a good
question, I will try to check.....
How about low power apps? How dothese stack up corewise?
GREAT STUFF!!! Thanks.. See Yoy tomorrow.
Yes, NVIC priority can be changed. CMSIS can be
used for NVIC setup or you can access the registers
Howmany lavels of tail chaining is allowd in mo and m3?
I don't believe that SYSTICK shuts down on a normal
SLEEP - but it may shut down when doing a DEEP SLEEP
can I know how to configure NVIC for the priority? can it be supported in dynamically?
Hi, is there a way of download the audio of past lessons? thanks!
It seems the ARM CORTEX-M0. has a lot of cool features.. How does it compare with other controllers from dirrerent vendores??
will there be expansion of the scb in a leter session?
Is there any difference in what's saved among interrupts ie. registers pointers etc.?
@PaulN: Thanx for the details. If it is a single cycle for each of the registers you list, the other 4 cycles is for the vector fetch and then the jump to the Interrupt address?
Thanks, Paul
Thanks for a highly enlightening discourse on the M series. Looking forward to the rest of the lectures Cheers
@pauln: That's intriguing. I assume there are conventions governing the use of general-purpose registers R0 - R3 and R12 so that they are not really as general-purpose as the rest?
Paul - can you comment on the utility of the Systick timer in light of sleep modes?
The stack frame is automatically pushed by the processor.
You can figure the clock cycles from the Stack Frame size plus
memory access times.
Thanks Paul - the tail chaining and late arrival were explained in a clear and useful way. The push/pop activities and timing are useful to know. Thanks.
thanks Paul and Chuck --- see u tomorrow
Thanks Paul & Chuck
thank you!!!
The core saves PSP, PC, LR, R12, R3, R2, R1, R0 on a stack frame.
Thanks Paul and Chuck for the interesting session today.
wow!very very helpful
thanks Paul and Chuck
Thanks a lot
Thanks Paul!
Thank you, very useful info.
@WarrenM: Who said it's 12 cycles? Did I miss that?
Thank you Chuck, Paul, and all.
Thanks Paul.
Thank you Paul and Chuck !
Thank you
thank you Paul,
Thanks Chuck and Paul!
Thanks that was very helpful.
@WarrenM: likely the core does not save any general-purpose registers. The interrupt service routine would be expected to save anything it uses in that case. So the core just saves things that must always be saved, such as the instruction pointer and status register.
Thanks very much, Paul!
would like to see more indo on the scb
@Paul: Usually each interrupt has independent stack store because of the unpredicitability of the interrupts. Why no stack storage for chaining?
Still interested in why Interrupt latency is 12 cycles. Is it basically the number of cycles the state frame needs to be saved, plus the Interrupt Vector fetch? There are 13 General Purpose Registers. Don't they all need to be saved? Wouldn't that be at least 13 cycles?
@Paul: Is it possible to skip the stack frame save/restore? Is this a control option?
is tail chaining used when you have 2 or more interrupts of the same priority, or do you pop/push
How many interrupts can be tail chained?
tail chaining = tail end optimization for procedures ? no need to execute a return/pop stack frame then a call with push stack frame
prioritized interrupts are nice to fall back on, but aren't always necessary
multiple alarm inputs and system fail detection would make good use of priority interrupts. capturing all, not just the first interrupt is usefull here.
@Chuck: use nested interrupts all the time.
Emergency interrupts in a mission critical application would prepemt any other interrupt such as round-robin concurrent processing time tick.
Yes- Checking battery voltage level is high priority. Reading sensor, lower priority..
need priority in interrupts
some designs would have benifited from nested/priority interrupts.
@pauln: why would one want NMI or HardFault to be fixed at a lower priority than reset? This forces all the peripheral interrupts to either compete with NMI and HardFault, or to all be at the lowest priority, eliminating any ability to priorize external interrupt sources.
In the past have had systems with multiple interrupt levels /vectors. Not currently though.
Some of my designs require priority on interrupts but most don't.
used Motorola, ARM, Renesas, and other
WarrenM: please refer Cortex-m3_technical reference manual:
Figure 5-2 Exception entry timing
Yes -- doing high speed data collection which requires prioritized interrupts
@chuck no current requirement for prioritized interrupts
Yes - typically needed for multiple competeing actions that have an inherent priority.
No, I have no system design using ARM at all now
sometimes need priority in interrupts, but not currently
No specific requirement for nested interrupts.
yes prior
Not presently
Sure, yes
for audio, in the wors case, login again
audio back... the radio decided to pause itself - thanks
audio is good here
audio OK here. try browser refresh?
@lsleguard Audio good here
Yes I am also wondering about hte 12 cycles too
No I didnt lose audio
just lost audio...anyone else lose too
@Wen_Tyco: Thanx for the info. Can you explain why it is 12-cycles?
How many clock cycles takes to fetch data from RAM or program memory, or flash memory/EEPROM?
it looks like the cortex memory is organized as bytes. the offsets on slide 14 are 4 byte increments per vector.
a 12-cycle latency from asserting the interrupt to the first
instruction of the ISR executing
Hi all, I late too from Wilmington NC
oh Hi all, rudely late from California
Yes good question
Can you tell us how many clock cycles interrupt latency is?
@pauln: LevitonDave's assertion that SysTick timer shuts down during sleep actions suggests that it can be used for some relative timing operations but is useless for absolute timing such as time of day or even fixed duration delays. Please comment on how to address those other timing needs.
@QUESTION: Paul is probably being very detailed in his explanation. Isn't the NVIC the normal ver=ctor table used since the bigining of times in the start of x86 family?
Hi all, rudely late from California
@raony.barrios: Audio has been running for about 4 minutes. Try refreshing your browser, eg, press F5.
yes, I use the ARM7TDMI
@paul: is the stack frame pushed automatically by the processor? (slide 11)
@luizcosta -- I know the M3 Cortex units from TI can use a 32 bit register as an RTC -- on SOME of the units. L4F for sure -- maybe...
yes, on ARM7
Yes, Arm 7TDMI and other processors, No for M0+
m3 yes
Yes, ARM 7 and Cortex
arm7, no interrupt experience. lots on 8-bit uP, uC
Used Interrupts on Cortewx M3
@Chuck: have not used any interrupts on Cortex-anything devices.
Yes - ARM7 interrupts - pushed most to the slower VIC.
Interrupts in general have impacts on Real-time actions :)
I have only used on Motorolla 68hc12
no, hopefully in the near future
I actually have no experience on ARMs at all. But my next product will likely use an ARM...
Not used on ARM 7
No and no :)
no, but have on 8-bit micros of course
M4 yes.
Have not used ARM processors.
Yes ARM7
m3/m4 yes, 7 no
Have used Interrupts on other MCUs not ARM.
No, no.
@danlefluer - age 8 - wow thats great. I fell like I missed my calling since I went into software engineering years ago, but now finding the electronics super interesting and fun. but have not been able to get any interested from prospective employers. I thinking, as you say, the electronic jobs are just getting less and less. I've even been thinking about volunteering to company's just to get some experience.
@Paul: What in hell is an M0+? You keep referring to things you haven't alked about.
What do we do if we want seconds, minutes, hours such as in an energy application? Do we have to use software based delays?
systick not used on cortex, but have used system timer on propellor chip.
Gotcha on SysTick timer is that it shuts down during sleep actions.
yes, used as OS system tickon M3
Have not used ARM, so never used SYSTICK. Usually need to use a timer for that function for other micros. Having a timer/counter optimized for that makes a lot of sense.
I'm sorry, is it a prerequisite to have used ARM cortex processors before attending this course? If so, some notice would have been appropriate.
When you get to the NVIC I'd like to know how many clock cycles it takes to enter an interrupt Routine (and then how many to return). The CPU is described as 'low latency' but I'm having trouble finding out exactly how many clock cycles it takes...
No Cortex experience "yet"
Has not used SYSTICK
Used SYSTICK feature? Yes on M3.
Hello from Ottawa
Have not used yet.
have not used a cortex based device to-date
Sure, systick as Os time
yep i used it on cortex m3
Not used tick feature.
Only on previous cpus
no, not yet
I have not.
@Chuck - have not used the systick
not I
Using on Cortex M0 device
@jl, built my first fox hole radio when I was 8.
I have not
Not yet.
@danlafleur - thanks for the reply. me too interested in electronic proj and embedded sys and control.
@jl, also looks like electronics jobs are fewer all the time.
@jl, sorry, was pulled away. My comment refers to electronics as a hobby isn't what it was before. Every Popular Electronics project was a list of Radio Shack part numbers. Building electronics projects for the fun of it has been replaced with other things for most people.
Not for me though. I'm still strongly interested in electronics and embedded control.
Ugh, no audio here.

hi all,
Hi all
Hi Chuck, Paul and all.
@danlafleur - "electronics has gone away" - was curious about your comment. do you mean you have moved on past electronics, or there is less and less electronics jobs, just curious
I made it right on time for a change

The State of Ohio has some VERY long-standing licensing exemptions for "engineers". I would not want to push the issue, and certainly NOT push the politics. Even the Patent and Trademark Office does not understand "software", so I can't expect our legislators to do so.
Hello from Milwaukee
@danlafleur - what do you mean "electronics has gone away"
Good afternoon, folks.
@Rob Lake. Do you have your license yet? <chuckle>
Is what that should have been. Check out that link later folks and read about licensing. This has been a long time coming and is approaching ion Ontario as well -- through the Trades Council.
Is there audio or video for the lecture?
Where is the link?
@Dan Lake. Do you have your license yet? <chuckle>

Hello from Minneapolis.
Hello from Sunny (SE) Lake Simcoe area of Ontario Canada
Hello from Boston MA, nice 81 °F.
hello from SUNNY MIAMI!!!
@RobLake, I'm happy to see greater interest in embedded processing and firmware. I was quite interested in electronics as a hobby, long before becoming a professional in the field. Electronics has qone away, but experimenting and learning with all of the really affordable embedded processor kits is exciting. lots of open source makes it easy to try some really challenging projects for little cost.
checking in for the presentation! :-)

text:
Pacers are atop the entire league, mainly because of Hibbert.
Am I the only ken that thinks carmelo would destroy this team even if we keep blake and cp3? He doesn't shoot well from three and he seems to be like a supercharged jamal.
I'm also firmly of this viewpoint.
Carmelo is becoming a free agent this summer anyway, so there's absolutely no reason to trade for him at all.
*raises hand*,no I am with you too. I also feel the same about Bynum.
Okay, now I'm getting pissed:
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nba/story/_ ... sal-mulled
I don't love that ANYONE from our organization "mulled" this trade. But I don't think anyone will now that Paul's down for a while. Melo isn't the facilitator Blake is, and we will need that now more than ever.
^ Sources say Broussard talks out of his ass.
I have yet to hear one la source confirm this, it's always a knicks article. Secondly, if they are stupid enough do this trade, then I am not sure I could remain a fan.
Oh and I love that knicks fans think that the clippers ought to throw in a draft pick for the right to get the all-knowing deity that is Carmelo Anthony. Broussard is a moron.
Eric Patten tweeted "Chris Broussard, LOL"
Hate these stupid rumors and sources that this guy mentions. Didn't he say that D12 and CP3, according to his sources, we're strongly considering to sign with Atlanta to play together this past summer?
Carmelo cannot help us. Our PR thrives on Griffin.
Why does the bird resemble griffin? How is that or is it just me
It's a pun. That's not a bird, it's a "Griffin", a mythical animal.
Blake Griffin
The mention I have seen on this is CP3 and Carmelo want to play together. That is why clip management considers the trade. And people on this board are critical of my posts about Chris Paul getting his buddies on the team and messing the clips up. More data to show I am right.
There is no reason to do anything CP3 wants anymore so he signs so I hope this does not happen.
I agree. If Cp3 ever tried to pull off something like that, I hope they trade him before getting his way. Even Kobe never got this treatment from the lakers. They got rid of Shaq for him but that was about it. Jerry Buss was also willing to trade him when he came unbearable. Hope the Clippers react in this manner if CP3 tried getting rid of BG for Melo.
"Internal discussions?"
That sounds like reporter-speak for "I called a guy in the Clippers organization and confirmed they heard the Knicks might be interested in trading for Blake and didn't take it seriously...therefore they 'discussed' it 'internally' and are 'leaning' against trading Blake."
It comes from Chris Broussard for Christ sakes...Chris Broussard, lol.
Melo will be in LA alright....with the Lakers next year.
Well the report is all over the internet like it's official. Hopefully Doc and the organization are assuring Blake that this wasn't taken seriously.
BS....didn't Paul supposedly "wanted" to play with his buddies Howard and LBJ too. Don't believe everything you read.
Yeah, there's a very rare 4-legged bird with chest markings that look just like the number 32... same number as Blake. You're really smart to notice
It's most often observed shitting all over the city of Oakland from a great height and they call it the FukYuTroll.
I would rather trade CP3 than Blake (if I'm the GM), lets involve Suns the trade bring back Bledsoe. But it's just a rumor right?
Melo sucks, we don't need a volume shooter on this team at all. Who the hell would play PF?
I'm excited to see Blake Griffin prove exactly why this trade makes no sense for the clippers. He's about to carry the team on his back while cp3 is out.
He wanted to do that last season when Chris was out and seemed disappointed in himself. The way he's been playing recently this situation is set up perfectly for him show that he is The Man.
Thank the Gods your not the GM. Stay at your day job.
We'll see. Hope he is "The Man" with Paul out...for all our sakes.
This rumor is absurd. I don't know too much about this Chris Broussard, but from what I've seen so far, he strikes me as someone who sensationalizes every little thing, fake or not, just to get his name mentioned somewhere. He's like a craggy woebegone peacock strutting without any feathers. In other words, no substance. Sheesh.
What would be the point of Melo anyway? Sure he's an unstoppable offensive force. But wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose of Doc's desire for a movement-style offense? Making the extra pass? I get that he will run the pick-n-roll with Paul effectively, but offense isn't that big a problem with our team anyway. At least it isn't with our starting backcourt leading the team. And Melo solves no problems on the defensive end. He's a good rebounder but not better than Blake. And Blake's a better ball handler and passer. Hell, he's the second best passer on the team behind Paul, which is more important now than ever.
So let's analyze this proposed trade:
Knicks upgrade:
-slightly on defense
-ball handling
-scoring efficiency (20+ points, on better than 50% shooting for career so far)
-high ceiling
Clippers upgrade:
-scoring proficiency and volume (lower FG % but scores LOTS)
-higher FT %
-player in his prime
What am I missing?
"Mainly" because of Hibbert? That's a stretch
^ Yeah, Eric Patten is certainly getting some mileage out of this one...
@EricPatten: UPDATE: Sources said I called front desk to see if I could swap Chronicles of Riddick on HBO for Con Air. Internal discussions rage on.
Is it? He's by far the best Defensive player on by far the best Defensive team in the league.
Paul George is a great two-way player, but that doesn't mean he's a great defender. He's a good defender and would probably just be known as an average defender if he didn't have a great offensive game.
The Pacers without Hibbert are basically just the New York Knicks.
How about melo calling a critical fan a "glazed donut face?" That's really a guy we want as a face of the franchise
Don't think they'd be in NY/BKL territory lol, but to each his own.
Melo and chandler for DJ, Dudley,Crawford, and two future first round according to my sources lol
I still don't like the idea of losing DJ, buuuut if a trade "has to happen" I could live with this over losing BG
^That trade doesn't have to happen and shouldn't.
Hmmm I never would've known that Parker was the 7th best player on his team and Aldridge the 5th if I hadn't been enlightened by this almighty stat concoction.
Lol, gotta love stats. They do keep arguments interesting, that's for sure.
I agree. I want Blake to retire a Clipper. Honestly, DJ should stay for the remainder of his contract as well. We really do have a big 3, and everyone else is expendable.
If dj can improve his foul shooting and be consistent in playoffs, we should keep him.
They should trade Aldridge then lol...
I must admit Melo in a Clips uniform could be intruiguing. But as Matt Moore (like the guy although he kinda hates us) pointed out, a deal without Chandler wont work.
My main concern is that they make a swoop (Melo Chandler for BG DJ) we dont have a PF at all.
With that being said, Im against giving up Blake.
just another media driven rumor brought about from buzz probably from this website.. Chris Broussard sources inside the clippers is the posts he comes and reads from here.. that is all.
Again, "by far"?
He's a big body with a moderate offensive game.
The Chicago Bulls have an elite defense and they are bottom feeders without Derrick Rose.
I'd argue George has a similar impact on the Pacers.
But anyway, the point is that while DJ has improved and has value, losing him is worth it if it brings in Carmelo Anthony - arguably the best offensive player in the league when motivated.
Does anyone around the NBA think the Clippers have a Big 3 right now?
Paul, Griffin, and Melo would be an incredible Big 3, moreover teams would not be able to double team Paul or Melo down the stretch.
DJ's great, but replaceable:
-Athletic big who rebounds, gets lobs, and shoots below 50% from the free throw line.
im not for the trade but i was messing with the trade machine and the only way i would do it would be this way...
deandre jordan
jamal crawford
jared dudley
willie green
byron mullens
malik wayns
carmelo anthony
iman shumpert
kenyon martin
With a team that is lacking depth at the 4 and 5 spot a trade to get rid of one of the only two that contribute anything to this team away for a high volume shooting 3?
Paul George is an elite wing defender. The Pacers without Hibbert are much better than the Knicks.
Lance Stephenson >>J.R. Smith.
David West >>>>Bargnani.
George Hill>>All of the Knicks PGs combined.
PG=Melo(maybe better even).
Better bench as well.
Do you know how much pressure Hibbert takes off of his teammates to make sure they stay with their man? George doesn't have to chase his opponent into the paint because he knows Hibbert is there waiting for him.
I will admit though that they wouldn't be as bad as the Knicks, that was an exaggeration. But they definitely wouldn't be a top team in this league. They'd be fighting for a playoff spot if they were in the west.
This rumor is dumb and I hate it
Yep, I agree. If some people paid just a little more attention to those numbers/data we wouldn't have Mullins and some others. Plus DJ's progression wouldn't have seemed so "unbelievable", lol.

Here�s a New Year�s resolution we all probably can agree on: Don�t be a jerk when you�re on the road.
There�s something about travel � whether you�re flying, driving or sailing � that brings out the jerk in all of us. Like the guy in seat 26B just in front of me right now on a flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles, who probably is a nice guy on the ground, but put him on a plane, and shortly after takeoff, he jams his seat into my knees without so much as an apology. Jerk.
It�s the flight attendant who kicked me out of the row of empty seats in the back of the plane, after I moved there to avoid the wedge. He did it with a stern, �You�re gonna have to get out of this seat, now. These are blocked for the crew.� It wasn�t the passive-aggressive way he phrased it as much as it was the tone � he might as well have been saying, �It�s a federal offense to interfere with the flight crew.� Jerk.
It�s the fellow passenger who almost ran over me as I was disembarking, swearing under her breath because I wasn�t moving fast enough. I know I wasn�t moving fast enough. I had to help my three kids off the plane and lift their luggage out of the overhead compartments.
It doesn�t make any difference how well you are treated or how much you are abused. In the end, we all turn into jerks.
I�ve spoken with psychologists about this phenomenon, and they tell me that there�s something about travel that just makes us insufferable. It is, they speculate, the fact that when we go somewhere, we are away from the social restraints that make us behave � our friends, family and community. It could also be the fact that we know we�ll never see the people we meet again. So we treat them like props in a movie, as if they are not real.
But they are. I can hardly read my computer screen now because the jerk in 26B had to lean all the way back and because the idiots who installed these seats only gave me 31 inches of seat pitch.
I beg to differ with the experts. I don�t think we turn into boorish imbeciles just because we�re away from home, although that may be a contributing factor. I think it�s cause and effect, and on two levels. It�s travel companies slowly removing many of the services and amenities that made travel tolerable, on the one hand. It�s a little bit like taking a well-behaved dog, locking him in a cage, depriving him of food and then taunting him. He�ll turn mean, eventually.
But how does that explain the childish behavior of the entitled elites � you know, the ones who lurk on sites such as Flyertalk or one of the mileage blogs littered with scammy affiliate links? Opposite problem there: Like the children of dictators, these super-platinum elites are given everything that the travel companies took away from us, the long-suffering passengers in the back of the aircraft.
While we have no room to move in steerage, they complain when their lie-flat sleeper seat doesn�t recline all the way. They�re told, �You�re more special than everyone else; you should expect the world.� The result is a cabin full of spoiled babies who fire off complaint letters to their airline when the Chardonnay isn�t chilled to the right temperature.
They believe they are God�s gift to travel, but they are not. They are jerks.
You don�t have to be. If you�re lucky enough to sit in a first-class seat, be grateful. Thank your employer, who allowed you to collect enough miles for the upgrade. Thank the flight attendant who has to put up with the other whiners in the forward cabin.
Take nothing for granted, because when you stop traveling for business, your elite status will expire and so will your miles, and then you will email me for help getting your status restored.
If you�re sitting in the bleacher seats or staying in a standard room, you don�t have to behave like a jerk, either. Don�t take it out on your fellow passengers and guests. It�s not their fault that you�re being tortured. Instead, stand up and let the travel company know you won�t be treated like cattle. Fly on airlines and stay in hotels that treat you like a person.
They do exist.
You have it in you to end the incivility that�s made travel a ridiculously bad experience. Do something. Now.

California crop circle plowed under, possible meaning surfacesUPDATED 10:10 PM EST Dec 31, 2013
Farmer Scott Anthony, of King City, was out of town on vacation when a crop circle appeared in his Chualar field. It's now gone and there's speculation about its meaning.Video Transcript
FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. AS WE GET READY TO WELCOME 2014, PEOPLE IN CHUALAR HAD TO SAY GOOD BYE TO THE MYSTERIOUS CROP CIRCLE DISCOVERED MONDAY MORNING. TONIGHT: THE CROP CIRCLE IS NO MORE: PLOWED UNDER EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. THE DESIGN CUT INTO THE CHUALAR FIELD ATTRACTED MANY ON- LOOKERS...SOME OF WHOM WERE DISAPOINTED TO SEE IT GO. "i'm pretty sad, like, it's a once- in-a-lifetime thing, like, why get rid of it?" "it would be very easy to tell, like, if you were able to look at how it was laid down, if it was, uh, you know, a bunch of people with boards." WELL IT WASN'T THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT CREATED THE CROP CIRCLE. HE SAYS HE WAS OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION WHEN IT WAS CUT INTO THE FIELD. BUT WE BELIEVE WE HAVE SOME NEW INSIGHT - IF NOT ANSWERS - INTO THE CROP CIRCLE'S MEANING. FOR MORE ON THAT WE GO TO ACTION NEWS REPORTER MICHELLE IMPERATO.### ERIN WE'VE RECEVIED PLENTY OF INPUT ROM PEOPLE SPECULATING ABOUT WHAT - IF ANYTHING - THIS CROP CIRCLE MEANS. BUT WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF BRAILLE EXPERTS WEIGH IN AND THEY SEEM TO HAVE THE MOST TENABLE EXPLANATION. ONE OF THEM IS DEBRA FALANGA - SHE'S FROM NEW JERSEY, SAW THE PICTURES ON OUR WEB SITE AND IS CERTIFIED BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AS A BRAILLE TRANSCRIBER. SHE TELLS US THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THIS CORRECTLY, IT IS TEXTBOOK PERFECT BRAILLE. HERE'S WHY. DOWN HERE AT THE BOTTOM IS CHUALAR CANYON ROAD. THE BRAILLE IS THREE ROWS INSIDE THIS INNER-MOST BOX: THE BACKWARDS "L" IS AN INDICATOR THAT NUMBERS ARE TO FOLLOW... AND THE NUMBERS THAT FOLLOW ARE THE NUMBERS ONE... NINE .. AND TWO ..THEN THERE'S ANOTHER NUMBER INDICATOR AND THE PATTERN REPEATS. IT'S SIMILAR ON THE SECOND ROW WITH ONE EXCEPTION: ON THE FAR LEFT IS THE BRAILLE LETTER "B" FOLLLOWED BY THE NUMBERS ONE... NINE AND TWO... THEN THE THIRD ROW - THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM APPEARS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TOP ROW. WHAT THIS MEANS... NOBODY CAN SAY... WE HERE AT KSBW ARE SPECULATING THAT THE "B" IS MEANT TO INDICATE THAT IT IS BRAILLE. AS FOR THE ONE NINE TWO, THERE IS ANOTHER SUGGESTION THAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE KEY TO THE PATTERN. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THE OUTER CIRCLE: IMAGINE IT AS A CLOCK FACE... AND APPROPRIATELY ENOUGH, THESE DOTS WOULD BE AT ONE.... NINE... AND TWO ON THE CLOCK FACE. BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? ARE THESE THE ONLY HIDDEN CODES IN THE CROP CIRCLE.... WE'RE STILL ... AND IS THERE SOME SPECIAL MEANING TO ALL THIS... ? WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THAT.... BUT WE MAY NEVER KNOW. ERIN BACK TO YOU. ##### AND IN CASE YOUR WONDERING THE NUMBER 192 DOES HAVE SOME SIGINIFICANT MEANING. ACCORDING TO GOOGLE...1-9-2-1-9-2 IS THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR TEAM U-S-A CYCLING. IN THE CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE... 192 IS THE CODE NUMBER FOR MANSLAUGHTER. IF YOU'RE THINKNIG SCIENCE: 192 IS THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF THE ELEMENT IRIDIUM. AND 192 DOT COM IS A SEARCH ENGINE FOR PEOPLE AND PLACES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.### AND FOR MORE ON WHAT THE IMAGE IN THE CROP CIRCLE MIGHT MEAN AND A SLIDE SHOW OF CROP CIRCLE PICTURES, YOU CAN VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT K-S-B-W DOT COM.### ON THE CRIME WATCH:

When legislators return to Columbia in January, they will be considering a new way to ensure students can learn to read on an appropriate age level.
The problem is that their solution appears to be somewhat of a one-size-fits-all approach rather than one that can target students in critical need.
As part of the plan, students unable to read on an appropriate level by third grade may have to repeat the entire grade. In addition, those students who haven't reached appropriate standards would have to enroll in a "summer reading camp" to catch up on their skills, according to the Greenville News. Additionally, they would have to attend at least 90 minutes of intensive reading instruction if they repeat the grade.
It's obviously vital that students in our state have the ability to read effectively.
The measures that will be up for debate, however, appear to focus on the big picture and not individual needs.
Wisely, the current plan would not apply to students for whom English is a second language or those with disabilities. They would be exempt from the law.
However, for any student, simply repeating the grade doesn't seem like the most apt solution to reach a certain literacy level.
Hopefully, school districts will also have the necessary resources to provide the extra, mandated reading sessions for struggling students.
Thankfully, the proposal does provide students with a way out if they're forced to repeat a grade. If a student can demonstrate that he or she has retained the lessons and is ready to move up to the fourth grade, he or she will be able to do so mid-year.
However, this could create challenges for students. There will be a stigma for those who have to repeat a grade, but may otherwise show signs of performing well in the classroom.
The law also stipulates that teachers certified in subjects such as biology or history would have to return to school to take courses in how to teach reading. The idea behind pulling teachers back to school is that they might not be able to diagnose reading issues and won't have the training necessary to find a remedy.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that the state would completely pay for such training. Teachers would have to pay for it out of their own pockets.
Schools should be given the right assets needed to intervene at an earlier stage. Instead of repeating grades, kindergarten and first-grade teachers should be given the resources needed to ensure their students don't fall behind.
Our state needs proactive and flexible solutions that put educational resources in the right hands. But this proposal ultimately seems to make students take two steps back before they can take one step forward.

I picked up this postcard in Exeter whilst on holiday, I wouldn't normally have bothered with it, but there were a couple of things about it that appealed to me, which meant I just had to have it.
The subject of the card is not particularly rare, but I do have a personal connection with it. Church Street, Steyning is probably best known as the home of Steyning Grammar School where I went to school for several years.
This in itself wouldn't normally be enough to make me buy it, as I said it is not particularly rare to find a postcard of Church Street and I don't think this is a particularly good picture either. What really caught my attention was the addressee and message.
Just in case you couldn't read the message on the front, here it is again, but the right way round this time.
This is what intrigued me. A card of Steyning, Sussex was being forwarded by George Coleman of Hove to a gentleman in Belgium, in 1903. Why?
What business was George Coleman in? Why did he have a stamp made with his details on? Does this mean he forwarded a lot of postcards? Was he involved in publishing postcards? Was this being sent as a sample of his work? And who was the gentleman in Belgium? What did he want with a postcard of Steyning?
Perhaps one day I will find some answers. Next time I am at the Brighton History Centre I will do some digging in some local directories and see if I can find an entry for George Coleman, that will at least give me somewhere to start.

Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. – The Stetson University women's golf battled through some rainy conditions on Monday at the Marsh Landing Country Club to post scores of 304 and 300, good for third place.
The rain continued on Tuesday, forcing the cancellation of the final round of the tournament.
The Hatters finished just two shots behind Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida after making up seven shots against the Ospreys in the second round. UNF posted a 295 in the opening round to take the early lead, but was unable to hold off nationally ranked College of Charleston.
The Cougars followed an opening round 297 with a 293 in the second round and took a 12 shot victory over UNF (602). Stetson (604), Daytona State (606), Wofford (607) and Troy (608) rounded out the top half of the field.
The Hatters were led by freshman Giulia Vandenberg, who posted consecutive scores of one-over par 73. Her two round total of 146 left her three shots behind tournament champion Jacqueline Shelly of Florida Atlantic.
Fellow freshman Alessandra Kutz also had a spot in the top 10, tying for eighth place after posting rounds of 75 and 74 for a total score 149.
Senior Mallory Viera bounced back with a second round 75 after a pair of triple bogeys in the opening round left her with a 79. She tied for 26th with a score of 154.
Fellow seniors Ryan Ashburn (158) and Jenna Hoecker (159) tied for 42nd and 45th, respectively.
"Giulia and Alessandra both played well most of the day," Hatters coach Floyd Kerr said. "Mallory really just had those two bad holes that kept her from having a good day.
"It was really tough out there with the weather. It would rain hard for a while, then stop, then just spit for a while before raining hard again."

I cannot find anything on the total votes. I know DJ didn't make the second team, but do we know how many votes he received? I am guessing he came in somewhat close to Hibbert.
Collison and Granger got votes
Ahh I found it. Dj was real close.
http://www.nba.com/2014/news/06/02/2014 ... ense-team/
Collison and Granger got vote (not voteS) lol.
How did Steph Curry get a vote?!
Nice, he deserved it.
Probably the same feeble-minded halfwit who would vote for James Harden.
Whoa. I did not notice that. That is truly horrendous.
For a little guy,he can really be a pain in the rump with his stealing, his general getting in your face (and nerves) and his rebounding. Well deserved.
Glad Lebron got 2nd team not first team since he didn't even play defense the first half of the season. Then again Kobe didn't play defense at all and got 1st all defensive teams....
Anyway well deserved by Chris Paul. Probably the most consistent defense I have seen from him this season though he did miss games.
Congrats to CP3! There were so many times he came up with a huge steal to help the Clippers win throughout last season, and many were on fast breaks.
Great distinction for CP. Huge congrats to CP!
Congrats to CP. And lol at James Harden getting a vote
Grats to CP but I would trade all these personal accolades for a shot at WCF/champ
Seems I saw Westbrook go past CP3 for a whole series. PG score big vs Clips. Yes, CP3 gets steals, but you really think his d is that great?
Actually Westbrook is that great -- at least in regards to driving to the basket. Nobody can stop him. That is no knock on CP3. However, Westbrook often turns into Westbrick from the three point line. That is why they needed help from the refs to beat us.
No tony Allen lol
Probably the combination of missing almost 30 games and only playing 22-23 mpg. Remember this award is voted for during the regular season, playoffs have no bearing on it. I'm going to assume that voters felt he played too few of his teams minutes this season, not that they don't think he's an All-NBA defender, but the award is based on your actual time playing in the season, not the idea of what kind of defender you are.
Regular season award, he was great in the regular season, great vs Curry, struggled vs Westbrook. Actually most teams that contain Westbrook do it not because he can't get past the first defender, he really can, but because when he does they make him shoot contested mid-range jumpers (help is there quickly so he doesn't get a clear path to the rim) or they are teams that rotate and get in position quickly and make him take poor forced shots at the rim as much as possible. Of course depending on the night, while you can limit the FG's made, sometimes those wild attacks at the rim are 10+ FTA as opposed to missed shots.
If you watch the film, our biggest problem wasn't actually the initial point of defense, we just didn't do well on our pick and roll reads and positioning. A blow by here and there by a guy like Russell will happen. DJ actually had a bit of a struggle in the series that is evident if you compare Duncan and Gasol's positioning against the pick and roll to take away the clear path of attack as much as possible vs DJ's. Maybe it was actually OKC scouting how DJ reads / pays the pick and roll and exploiting it too.
Game 6 was really the only game we contained him, but other factors didn't make that one successful despite that. There's never been a time where Paul can just consistently guard Westbrook one on one without team schemes, but for his career and during the regular season he's defended him well because he's directed him to areas where he has to take more difficult shots, which is really what you should aim to do. In props to Westbrook too, he made some shots much more accurately that series than he usually does, the first 5 games he was shooting 41% 3PT on 4 attempts.
Granted SA and Memphis are better defensive teams by a good margin, but he shot 40.7% FG and 28.1% 3PT vs SA and 38.2% FG and 23.8% 3PT vs Memphis. He certainly got hot at the right time with his 3PT and mid-range shooting, but after the pick was set on Paul, the secondary defense was far inferior to the other series, and that's where you need to get him, but he hit a lot of pull up there's that he wouldn't usually make so accurately. It's comparable to Jamal's game 3-7 vs GS where he averaged 19.8 PPG / 47.8% FG and 40.5% 3PT. Of course if he maintains that in the OKC series we win, but you can't expect that.
He then came back down to earth with 14.2 PPG / 35.3% FG / 29.4% 3PT vs OKC despite GS actually being the better defensive team among the two. Westbrook was both hot and had the Clippers reads on pick and roll were favorable for him to be successful.
Small things really are big. Simplifying it a bit because there's fouls and turnovers too, but just looking at shooting. The difference between holding Westbrook to 40% FG and allowing him 50% FG on 20 FGA is two more missed shots. Seems small, but that's possibly a +4 difference for your team, and over a series, if you do it consistently, it could be something like +6, then one game he explodes, then +2, +4, +8 and then he explodes another game and is better than usual. Then add in forced turnovers, if you aren't force feeding him FT's, and making him mis two or more extra shots a game can mean your team is 2-4 ore more pts closer or further ahead with 1 or 2 minutes left in the game. If DJ is in 15 pick and rolls involving Westbrook and reads it well 60% of the time, 9/15, Westbrook shoots on 8 of those and is 3/8. If on the 6 bad reads Westbrook shoots 5 times and is 3/5, that's now 6/13 FG. If you made the right read 85% of the time 13/15, he shoots 11 times and is 3/11 and shoots 1/2 on the poor reads, now he misses two more shots, he's 4/13 instead, and that's a possible +4 for your team in defending him and their team. If his other attempts are 2/2 fastbreak, 1/3 (makes a 3PT shot) from isolation 1/2 offensive rebound and put back, then he's 4/7 everywhere else.
Making the right reads 13/15 times means he's 8/20, if he goes to the line 6 times, 5/6, that's 22 pts.
Making the right reads 9/15 times means he's 10/20, one more trip to the line due to more poor reads and he's 7/8 FT and that's 28 pts
Sure it was only a difference of 4 shooting plays and 1-2 plays where he got to the line over a whole game, but at this level, that's enough, which is why you want to limit breakdowns and poor reads as much as possible. You know a blow by will happen, you know he'll get a steal and get out on the break for something easy, you know some tough shots will be made, so when you're set defensively, you want him missing those extra two or more shots a game.

Lizzie Borden
When Lizzie Borden axed her stepmother and father to death in 1892 it was unthinkable that a woman of such upbringing could commit such vicious crimes. The savagery of the murders set her free.
The New York Times headline for Aug. 5th, 1892 read: "BUTCHERED IN THEIR HOME: Mr. Borden and His Wife Killed in Broad Daylight." The first paragraph of the stunning article read:
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 4 -- Andrew J. Borden and wife, two of the oldest, wealthiest, and most highly respected persons in the city, were brutally murdered with an ax at 11 o'clock this morning in their home on Second Street, within a few minutes' walk of the City Hall. The Borden family consisted of the father, mother, two daughters, and a servant. The older daughter has been in Fair Haven for some days. The rest of the family has been ill for three or four days, and Dr. Bowen, the attending physician, thought they had been poisoned.
The horrific axe murders of Andrew Borden and his third wife, Abby, would have been shocking in any age, but in the early 1890s they were unthinkable. Equally unthinkable was who wielded the axe that butchered them an hour or so apart in their own home. The idea that the murderer could possibly be Borden's 32-year-old daughter Lizzie took days to register with the police – despite overwhelming physical and circumstantial evidence that pointed only at her. Nine months later a jury, unable to fathom that a woman could commit such vicious crimes, would find a way to ignore the evidence and set Lizzie free.
By no means had Lizzie Borden committed the perfect crime. The police were quickly able to dispense with the possibility of an outside intruder carrying out the murders. Lizzie – her alibi fraught with inconsistencies – was the only suspect. She alone had both the motive and the opportunity. What would end up saving her was the remarkable violence of the murders: The murders were simply too grisly to have been committed by a woman of her upbringing.
The Borden mystery is captured within a web of falsified statements, suppositions, assumptions and public opinion, all of which revolve around a missing weapon that actually never was missing, a blood-stained dress that was never found, and a young woman's previously impeccable character.

Scanning the rows of vegetables in the produce section of the grocery store, my eyes landed on what I was searching for.
A bag of romaine lettuce, a cucumber, fresh mushrooms, avocados and grape tomatoes were soon inside the buggy. With the other ingredients at home boiled eggs, green pepper, feta cheese, walnut bits and dried cranberries I had everything for what I call the perfect salad. Now I could concentrate on the other aisles in the store.
That was when it hit. What was that that I was hearing? Could it be? No, much too early. Yet there were those strains of music and the familiar words, although its been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you.
I checked the date on my watch Nov. 13. How could they be playing Christmas music already? And so it begins, earlier it seems every year the Christmas season. For those more politically correct than I, it is called the holiday season. However, many of us dont celebrate a holiday, we celebrate Christmas.
The rush for Christmas dollars seems to come at a more advanced date on the calendar each year. The first Christmas items started appearing in stores sometime in October, and by the time Halloween has passed, the specialty aisles are filled with red and green, the sounds of jingling bells and the piney fragrance that reminds us of Christmas trees.
From an economic standpoint, I can understand the need for merchants to capitalize on their most lucrative time of the year. It has been said that the Christmas season will make or break a business. And with recent economic news, that is probably more true today than ever before.
Some of us still long for the days when Halloween preparations were followed by the few weeks of Thanksgiving planning and then the Christmas season. How I longed for the appearance of Santa at the end of the televised Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then I knew that I could begin seeing catalogs in the newspaper with all those wonderful Christmas toys.
And newspapers had their annual countdown to the big day: Only XX shopping days left until Christmas. That was back when Sunday was not considered a shopping day because most of the stores were closed not that I am nostalgic for the blue laws.
Thanksgiving seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle between Halloween and Christmas. I guess a huge turkey dinner with family all around doesnt hold a candle to expensive costumes and even more expensive gifts. But it is a day that we can sit back and give thanks for all that we have.
In this country we are truly blessed. In spite of the political split that has almost half of the country on one side and almost half on the other, we share the bonds of a nation unlike any other in the world. We are a country of freedom that many in the world have never experienced and cannot even fathom. We are a land of plenty, and we all share in that plenty to some extent.
In this Thanksgiving season, I give thanks for this country and for those who have made and are making it great. There are faults, and they are regularly pointed out, but show me a country in the world whose system is better. Thanks for the U.S.
I am thankful for family, the cornerstone of my life. I am thankful for friends and all they mean. I am thankful for this community and the people who make it a great place to live, not just a place on the map.
As I have written before, this year I visited Kenya and was able to see a level of poverty I had never witnessed. It is humbling to be in the presence of people who have almost nothing, yet who are truly thankful for what they have been given. That taught me that Thanksgiving does not have to be about plenty; it has to do with an understanding that whatever we have is worth giving thanks over.
I hope that this year Thanksgiving will be more than the day we prepare for Black Friday. I hope that all of us will take a look at our lives and be truly grateful for what has been given to us. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Looking at the records for Southover School, Lewes, Sussex I picked up a couple of interesting facts that might be relevant to my grandfather's move from Lewes to London.
My grandfather, Charles Percy GASSON, left school in Lewes on the 2nd November 1917 and the reason was given as "went to London". Arthur Leonard JESSOP left the same school on the 2nd November 1917, and the reason he left was "returned to London".
Connection or coincidence?
At first glance this seems like a good match, but of course there is a problem, I don't have a single JESSOP in my family history. It may be that I just haven't found them yet, or it may be that there was a different type of relationship. Perhaps my great-grandmother was a domestic servant for the JESSOP family, and if they moved she moved with them.
When I looked at the headmaster's log book I discovered that there was some significance to the date of the 2nd November 1917, which may suggest it was a coincidence after all. The log book records that on the 2nd November the school was "closed until Wednesday morning for mid-term Holiday".
The 2nd November 1917 was a Friday, so Wednesday was the 7th. They didn't have much of a mid-term break, but if you were going to move your child out of school then the start of the holiday would be a good time to do it. So perhaps it was just a coincidence after all.
I think I need to find out more about Arthur Leonard JESSOP, his father's name was Alfred and I have his date of birth (24th March 1910), so it shouldn't be too difficult to put together some information on his parents and see if there is a connection somewhere.

If your child is to undergo a surgery or procedure, it can reassure you to understand how the various types of anesthesia work to make the experience more comfortable.
Anesthesia is broken down into three main categories: general, regional, and local, all of which affect the nervous system in some way and can be administered using various methods and different medications.
Think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the body's functions and the nervous system as a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down through the backbone and contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part.
Here's a look at what each kind of anesthesia does.
The goal is to make and keep a person completely unconscious (or "asleep") during the operation, with no awareness or memory of the surgery. General anesthesia can be given through an IV (which requires a needle stick into a vein, usually in the arm) or by inhaling gases or vapors delivered by a mask or breathing tube.
If your child is having general anesthesia, the anesthesiologist will be there before, during, and after the operation to monitor the anesthetic medications and ensure your child is constantly receiving the right dose.
With general anesthesia, the anesthesiologist uses a combination of various medications to:
After surgery, the anesthesiologist reverses the anesthesia process to help your child "wake up." It usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour for kids to recover completely from general anesthesia. This recovery period is monitored by specially trained nurses in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) or recovery room. During recovery, your child is still under the care of the anesthesiologist.
An anesthetic drug is injected near a cluster of nerves, numbing a larger area of the body (such as below the waist).
A child who receives regional anesthesia is usually asleep before the procedure is done. However, older kids or those who would be at unacceptable risk by being asleep may be sedated during the procedure. For example, if a child is overweight, it may be difficult for the anesthesiologist to feels the bones that help guide correct placement of the needle.
In kids, regional and general anesthesia are often combined, except in very special circumstances. Regional anesthesia is generally used to make someone more comfortable during and after the surgical procedure.
If regional anesthesia is appropriate for your child, you'll discuss this with the anesthesiologist. The time required to recover from the numbing effect will vary depending on the type of regional anesthetic used.
An anesthetic drug (which can be given as a shot, spray, or ointment) numbs only a small, specific area of the body (for example, a foot, hand, or patch of skin). With local anesthesia, a person is awake or sedated, depending on what's best for the patient.
Local anesthesia is often used for minor outpatient procedures (when patients come in for surgery and can go home that same day). If your child is having an outpatient surgery or procedure in a clinic or doctor's office (such as the dentist or dermatologist), this is probably the type of anesthetic that will be used.
The medicine can numb the area during the procedure and for a short time afterward, helping to control discomfort after surgery. The numbing medicine may wear off in about 2-4 hours.
Often, anesthesiologists may give children a sedative to help them feel sleepy or relaxed before a procedure or surgery. Then, kids who are getting general anesthesia may be given medication through a special breathing mask first and then be given an IV after they're asleep. Why? Because many kids are afraid of needles and young children may have a hard time staying still and calm.
Thus, needles — typically one of the most frightening aspects of surgery for kids — often can be avoided while the child is awake. Many kids just need to breathe themselves to sleep, which may help ease some anxiety about needles and the overall procedure or surgery.
The type and amount of anesthesia given will be specifically tailored to your child's needs and will depend on various factors, including:
In some cases, you may be able to request which type of anesthesia your child gets. The anesthesiologist can discuss the options available, but, ultimately, will make the decision based on your child's individual needs and best interests.

I have been taking a bit of a break from Finding Minnie and Patrick Vaughan whilst I get a bit of family history housekeeping done. Now it is the turn of Patrick Vaughan to be on the receiving end of that housekeeping.
If I am ever going to move forward with my research on Patrick and Kate Vaughan then I really need to get all the material that I already have into some sort of order.
I have gathered quite a lot of information from Ireland, Scotland and Canada like passenger lists, census returns, marriages and baptisms, but I haven't actually input them into my family tree yet.
This week I am going to concentrate on Patrick Vaughan get everything sorted and updated. That means:
- Setting up dedicated sub-folders for digital image downloads
- Making sure all the digital images are correctly named and in the correct sub-folders
- Making sure all the information is entered into my family tree
As well as needing to make sure I have solid foundations to move forward I also want to be able to tell the story of Patrick's life before he married my 2x great-aunt, hopefully system generated reports will provide the framework for this.

Dave asked me to announce the kick off of the Oakland Raiders football season and to invite those football fans who are interested to visit the new and improved Raiders Topbuzz site.
The site works very similar to other Topbuzz sites including this one. We had a successful first year on Raiders Topbuzz last season, and hope this year will be even bigger and better.
So go visit and sign up as a new member if you are not one already one, and give your opinions on the Forum.
The Raiders start the preseason tonight on ESPN at 5PM. Are you ready for some Monday Night Football? Tonight Aug 13
Carson Palmer will be starting at QB with newly signed Matt Leinert of USC fame backing him up. Terrelle Pryor will see action tonight at QB as well. Darren McFarland is back at full strength at running back.
Go Raiders!
Pass hate the Raiders a team that will finish last in the division. Whats the over under on what week McFadden gets hurt. Im going hurt before week 6.
Praying that the Raiders don't come back to LA.
I really don't care. I'm tired of LA not having an NFL team. Any team, please.

I love football and can't wait to have a team in LA again. I'll support any team that comes, just not the Raiders.
Well I live in St. Louis, and we might give the Rams the boot, and if we do I am sure you will get them. I really hope this happens, because I know the NBA would move a team here. If all the stars alligned and that happened, I would be so conflicted with having my favorite team in LA while having a hometown team.
I pray we both get our wish.
You guys get a football team from us, and we get an NBA team from anyone. Hell, I would take the bobcats if they were available.
Game over- it was fun despite the Raiders loss!
We had 529 views and 117 takes on the game day thread. Nice start over on Raiders TopBuzz
