The TDS3000B Series packs the power of a DPO, digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology, WaveAlert waveform anomaly detection, OpenChoice documentation and analysis solutions, and five application-specific modules into a lightweight, battery-capable design.
The TDS3000B Series DPO delivers 3,600 wfms/s continuous waveform capture rate to capture glitches and infrequent events three times faster than comparable oscilloscopes. Some oscilloscope vendors claim high waveform capture rates for short bursts of time, but your oscilloscope needs to deliver these fast waveform capture rates on a continuous basis – saving minutes, hours, or even days by quickly revealing the nature of faults so advanced triggers can be applied to isolate them.
In addition, the TDS3000B DPO's real-time intensity grading highlights the details about the "history" of a signal's activity, making it easier to understand the characteristics of the waveforms you've captured.
You face faster clock rates and edge speeds, increasingly complex signals and mounting time-to-market pressures. The higher the bandwidth of your oscilloscope, the more accurate the reproduction of your signal. The TDS3000B Series offers a wide range of bandwidths from 100 MHz to 500 MHz to best suit the needs of your most demanding projects, so that you can complete your tasks on time and with confidence.
The TDS3000B Series combines unique digital real-time (DRT) sampling technology with sin(x)/x interpolation to allow you to accurately characterize a wide range of signal types on all channels simultaneously. This sampling technology makes it possible to capture high-frequency information, such as glitches and edge anomalies, that eludes other oscilloscopes in its class, while sin(x)/x interpolation ensures precise reconstruction of each waveform. The result — a complete view of your signal to speed debug and characterization.
WaveAlert® waveform anomaly detection speeds your troubleshooting tasks by helping you find those elusive problems faster. WaveAlert detection monitors the incoming signals on all channels and will detect and highlight any waveform that deviates from the normal waveform being acquired. Because the TDS3000B oscilloscope can stop acquisition, sound a beep, make a hard copy or save the waveform when it detects an anomaly, you can run tests over long time periods - even unattended - to find those challenging, very infrequent failures.
OpenChoice® solutions deliver simple, seamless integration between the oscilloscope and the PC. Using a standard built-in Ethernet port, e*Scope web-based remote control allows you to control your TDS3000B oscilloscope from anywhere, using the Internet and your PC. With the TDS3GV optional communication module, floppy disk, TDSPCS1 OpenChoice software, and integration with third-party software, the TDS3000B Series provides you with multiple choices to easily capture, transfer, document, and analyze your measurement results. This seamless integration extends the power and value of these brilliantly engineered, affordable oscilloscopes.
Optional application modules enable you to transform your oscilloscope into a specialized tool for limit testing, telecommunications mask testing, and video troubleshooting.
And, with its lightweight, compact size and battery pack, the TDS3000B Series oscilloscope can go wherever it is needed. It weighs only 4.5 kg (9.8 lbs.), with battery installed. Use the optional plug-in thermal printer to instantly document your work, even in the field.

Like a well-performed routine of cups and balls, director Christopher Nolan, and writer Jonathan Nolan, manipulate the nonlinear twists and turns of Christopher Priest's novel, The Prestige, pausing here and there just long enough to make sure we are watching closely until the revelatory climax. Steampunk science-fiction merges with Victorian-era stage magic in this engaging story of rival magicians striving to upstage the other in a dangerously escalating battle of wits, secrets, and one-upmanship.
Robert Angier's (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden's (Christian Bale) obsessions for their magical art, and one teleportation illusion in particular – the Transported Man – provide the drama in this story set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century London. Mingling the social horrors of workhouses, where little girls could be sent for want of money and family, with the wonderment of stage magicians – the headliners of their day – performing their pseudo-scientific and preternatural miracles to the amazement and delight of their Industrialization-era audiences.
And while, as Cutter (meticulously played by Michael Caine), Angier's right-hand man notes, while the secret to a trick impresses no one, it is the secret that must always be guarded from jealous rivals eager to showcase it in their repertoire. To protect his secrets, Borden encrypts his notebook diary with a transposition cipher, although Angier eventually does read it. His diary helps provide the main narrative structure of The Prestige, as it moves back and forth between Borden's and Angier's points of view and lives, and also forward and backward in time, to show their rise to prominence on the stage, and their growing hatred for one another that begins with one death and ends with many. It is the secret of how Borden performs the Transported Man that consumes Angier, leading him to turn to the brilliant and eccentric Nikola Tesla for a solution that will top Borden. David Bowie plays the real-life scientist, inventor, and electrical wizard with a quiet, world-weary air of eccentric aloofness.
While the Transported Man illusion is more clever and fancy than reality, other magical elements of the story are historically based. Chung Ling Soo, the Oriental magician that fascinates both Angier and Borden before their rivalry begins, was the stage persona of William Ellsworth Robinson, a not so Oriental impersonator. Robinson played the part of an Oriental magician, onstage and off, and traveled with an "interpreter" who spoke for him. It was the dangerous Bullet Catch trick that eventually put an untimely and quite abrupt end to Robinson's career. The Bullet Catch is briefly shown in the film as Borden attempts to appease an inebriated and unruly audience of bar patrons during a performance. Unfortunately for him, Angier, in disguise, misfires the gun on purpose to disastrous results.
The Vanishing Bird Cage trick is also dramatized in the film. In a scene where Borden repays Angier in kind, he forces the cage shut prematurely, crushing fingers and bird together, to the horror of Angier's audience. While it is a classic effect in magic, its original use did put a crushing end to any bird placed within it. This unsavory consequence to the trick gives the impetus for the scene where Borden meets his future wife, and sets up the underlying tone of "getting dirty," or to what lengths will each man go to perform his craft and go one better than the other: how much will they sacrifice to master their craft?
It is Harry Houdini's Water Torture Cell escape that provides the catalyst for the rivalry and hatred both men feel toward each other. Angier and Borden, acting as audience stooges for Milton (played with his usual aplomb by Ricky Jay, who also acted as magical consultant for the film), bind his assistant – and Angier's wife – with ropes before she is lowered into her watery prison. Cutter stands by, axe at the ready and pocket watch in hand, in case anything goes wrong. As the seconds tick by, he realizes she is in trouble, and wields the axe again and again against the glass to release the water before she drowns.
In actual performances, while Houdini did employ a trusted individual to stand at the ready with an axe should anything go wrong, it was done for showmanship, not safety. Houdini also directed his audience to hold their breaths as he struggled to release himself. Only when they were gasping for air would he triumphantly throw the curtain aside to reveal his dripping wet escape. Unlike the film, Houdini was lowered into the tank upside down, with his ankles securely held in stocks.
Both Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale do a skillful job giving believability to the sophisticated, book-learned Angier, and unsophisticated, street-smart Borden. Their personalities reflect the style of magic each performs; for Angier, it is a polished presentation with a little whimsy; for Borden, it is more of a gruff challenge to his audience to figure it all out. While Angier wants to astound his audience with magic, Borden wants to impress his audience with his magical prowess. Where Angier weaves more substance around the entire presentation of the effect, Borden just performs the trick. These contrasting styles can be seen in magicians from the Victorian Age to the present day.
In the course of their rivalry they don disguises and infiltrate each other's performance to wreak havoc. Angier even goes so far as to tell his comely assistant, played by Scarlett Johansson, to work for Borden in order to learn his secret for the Transported Man. Fierce rivalry among magicians was prevalent in real life also. Aside from pasting over their competition's show posters with theirs, or mimicking a successful magician's repertoire even down to the patter (magic term for the words spoken during the trick or illusion), magicians have often spied on their competition in order to learn their secrets. Either by sitting in the audience, or bribing an assistant, or, as Kellar did, by boldly walking up on stage during Maskelyne's performance of the Entranced Fakir to see how it worked, the insatiable need to know how it is done is always uppermost in a magician's mind.
Houdini would often disguise himself and attend a rival escape artist's show. When the proper time came, he would either reveal himself, or get invited onto the stage so he could sabotage the act. In the cinematic equivalent, Borden disguises himself and attends one of Angier's performances to sabotage his version of the Transported Man. With glee, and with uncharacteristic panache, he reveals the secret to the audience, reveals himself triumphantly, and implores them to come and watch his much better magic show coincidently playing in another theatre.
Mixed with the magic of illusion in this Industrial Age of wonders is the magic of science, as exemplified by Nikola Tesla, who first appears in a blazing shower of lightning. It is the relationship between Angier and Tesla that provides the story with its climax of horrific proportions. From the field of light bulbs eerily glowing without the benefit of wires, to the hundred discarded illusions, each filled with a part of the lifeless soul of Angier, The Prestige is a mixture of now you see it, now you don't, and a glimpse into an age of wonders long past.Powered by Sidelines

Steven Forrest explains mutual reception from an evolutionary perspective. Mutual reception occurs when two planets are in the signs of each other's rulership. For example, in the same birth chart, Saturn in Taurus is in mutual reception with Venus in Capricorn. This video includes the example of Venus in Virgo and Mercury in Libra.
In May of 2011, Tony Howard got Steven Forrest and UK-based astrologer Mark Jones into a room to film a rare candid conversation between two astrologers. Steven and Mark start out talking about some of the technical differences between their approaches, and then the conversation naturally shifts towards more common ground, discussing the counseling dynamic in a consultation, and the popular subject of fate vs. free will.
Read Steven's article The Out of Bounds Moon. Learn how to calculate the out of bounds moon using Solar Fire and Winstar.
Learn more about the Out of Bounds moon and lunar phases with the following programs:
Steven shares how to take the first steps towards analyzing a birth chart using his time-tested evolutionary astrology techniques. Steven points out how important it is to look not only at the primal triad - Sun, Moon, and Ascendant - but also at the chart-behind-the-chart which we find through the doorway of the lunar nodes. Combine the two and we learn to see a person not only from a deep psychological framework, but also a karmic one.
There is a lot of data to wrangle in the birth chart, and Steven teaches us how to sort through what's most important.

In this interview filmed at the 2012 UAC astrology conference, Steven joins fellow astrologers ISAR President Gisele Terry and David Cochrane for a discussion about inter-astrological appreciation. For too many years astrologers have been fragmented on their isolated islands of technique, tradition, style etc. This discussion aims to show that if we drop our defenses and focus on building bridges between the various disciplines within our field, we'll actually become better astrologers with sharp critical thinking skills, which will improve the entire field.

Medieval house, enlarged in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It consists of first floor, second floor, high barn and a cellar floor. The cellars of the house are spacious and covered with brick vaults. Courtyard with a square hole.
It has a rectangular tower in the lower part and octagonal at the top, with a wooden deck and outdoor sheds eight sgraffito. The graffito tower were restored by the artist José Barceló in 1977.
Outside the house there is a medieval oven belonged to the village. A first floor bricks shows the date 1767. Also in the house there is familiar file from the s XVII, so we know that was begun in 1625.
Currently, the house has a great look and artistic and architectural interest is considerable.
Altafulla forms part of the Costa Dorada yet has its own unique character. A quiet town by nature, it is ideal for families, with services tailored to the needs of increasingly demanding and knowledgeable tourists who understand how to appreciate the cultural, scenic, gastronomic and sporting attractions of tourist destinations.
Altafulla is a well-maintained town that takes care of its protected surroundings and enjoys a warm, mild climate. The town is like an island between the conurbations of Barcelona and Tarragona and the mass tourism of the Costa Dorada. It combines the proximity of a host of leisure options just a few minutes away with the tranquillity of the ideal place to live, work, visit and enjoy. Culture, high-quality services, a beautiful natural setting and a hospitable people are all highlights of a tourist destination that complement Altafulla's main attractions: the people, the beach and the sun.
The short distances to fascinating cities and sights such as Barcelona, the Roman remains in Tarragona, the Costa Dorada, Port Aventura theme park, the Ebro Delta, the works of Gaudí and Picasso, the Cistercian Monastery route, gastronomic itineraries and the fine wines and cavas of the Priorat, Penedes, Terra Alta and Baix Gaià regions all combine to make Altafulla the starting and finishing point of a whole variety of tours for getting a greater insight into this corner of Catalonia. In 1998, the town was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest by the Catalan government, primarily thanks to the Vila Closa (the ancient walled town) and its ravals, or suburbs. Two years later, in 2000, UNESCO declared the Roman villa of Els Munts a World Heritage Site.

Posted on 04/21/2012 8:22:39 PM PDT by Stoat
PORTLAND, Ore. - This coffee can cost as much as $700 a pound and $80 a cup, and it is processed through the digestive system of a cat.
It's said to be the most expensive coffee in the world and it was served up Friday at the International Coffee Expo in Northeast Portland.
An Indonesian company brews it here as it is done in cafes in Jakarta.
"It is very delicious, very smooth and so luxurious," said Valerie Sindal, director of sales and marketing for ValBeMar Specialty Coffee.
Coffee cherries are eaten by Civet cats, processed through their digestive system, and the beans are harvested on the other side. According to ValBeMar's website, the Civets, found in the islands of Java and Sumatra, cant digest the fruits inner beans and they are excreted whole.
The beans are collected from the cat droppings, cleaned and roasted just like any other coffee bean. But the fermentation process while inside the stomach of the cat is the key to its exquisite taste, according to the company.
"If I could drink it every day, I would," Sindal said.
What does the most expensive coffee in the world thats been through the body of a cat taste like? Well, its unique, but balanced and smooth.
The coffee has a rich history. Three hundred years ago Dutch colonizers banned the Indonesians from drinking coffee. But the Indonesians found these beans and used them as a substitute. The coffee has gone from a poor mans drink to a rich mans brew.
Yes, you can buy this coffee over the internet ... $25.. for a "sachet" that is said to make 2 four-ounce cups.

Civet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The term civet applies to over a dozen different mammal species. Most of the species diversity is found in southeast Asia. The most well-known civet species is the African Civet, Civettictis civetta, which historically has been the main species from which was obtained a musky scent used in perfumery. The word civet may also refer to the distinctive musky scent produced by the animals."
Extreme Coffee -- Sumatra - YouTube
"It's the most exotic, rare and expensive coffee in the world. Kopi Luwack which comes from the dung of the Common Palm Civet or Luwack is so rare some believe it doesn't exist.
Much of the coffee which can sell for more than $50 dollars a cup in New York, Hong Kong or Tokyo has been cut or is simply fake.
The ABC's foreign affairs editor Peter Cave is a coffee lover who has been seeking the real thing for many years, so he headed to the mountains of Sumatra to track down the exotic brew and sample it with the farmers who collect the civet dropping from the forest floor and who are experimenting with taming and domesticating the increasingly endangered Luwak.

The word "cat" was included in the title only because that's what was used in the original article.
That being said, I have no information as to any experimentation that may or may not have taken place involving coffee beans and domesticated house cats.
Thank you for your attention.
"It is."
I just had to post to say LOVE your tagline.
Also cute kitteh, or civet or mr. coffee or whatever it is!
"Nutty, with a hint of Ex-Lax."
I'd always wondered how this "recipe" was discovered.
So, if one gets too snooty to drink burned coffee with other coffee snobs, they can upgrade to cat feces?
I understand even the red coffee berry pulp contains caffeine.
That civet cat looks pretty caffeinated to me. Look at those big eyes. Wide open.
Me thinks I will stick with regular coffee,thank you.
I'll second that.
if this coffee tastes so dam good you would think someone would mimic the 'process'?
And acid bath and warm fermentation...
Eric Holder is excreting coffee beans?
In the mid 70's I was traveling Indonesia and would fly out of the domestic airport in Jakarta. After you checked in and went thru security you were in the holding area and there was only one concession..a coffee vendor. It was really great coffee and tasted really good after traveling across town at 4 AM to check in for the first flight. Turns out that the Indonesian's I was traveling with were aware that this vendor served this special Sumatran coffee..which wasn't expensive then. It was great. Oldexpats get to tell olde war stories.
The 'harvesting' of this coffee is done by brown-skinned people.
For the Left, nonwhite people cannot be criticized in any way. That is "racism".
PETA's silence will undoubtedly be deafening, despite this Coffee Expo occurring in hard-Left Portland.
Thank you so much for your exceptionally gracious compliment, sincerely appreciated :-)
Now for quality coffees, you have to go to Jamacian Blue Mountain and Kona.
But for day-to-day, I'll stick with my Tres Rios Costa Rican that I roast myself. Best value for high-quality coffee, in my humble opinion. Back when I had real money, I mixed it 75:25 with Kona.
I can just see one of those spit-takes when someone has that coffee in their mouth and another person told them where it came from.
I'm not that big on coffee,anyway. It gives me heartburn.
In this case I think I'd say about the same thing.
This featured in that Jack Nicholson-Morgan Freeman movie about death, some years back...
I imagine that this is mainly about marketing and the power of suggestion, with a target audience of people who have more money than sense and who want to be able to have something 'exotic' to talk about at cocktail parties.
And acid bath and warm fermentation...
I think that the US Patent Office would be delighted to issue a patent for a Civet Digestive Replicator ;-)
I'm guessing that the typical Civet would be a lot more fun to spend time with than the generic facially-pierced Starbucks barista :-)
I would never give coffee to a cat. Poor thing might only sleep 20 hours a day.
"America Runs on Dunkin'"
You are absolutely correct.
I can import my Tres Rios and roast it myself for less than I can buy Folgers. Of course, I have contacts, and I know what time of year to buy coffee to get the best price and best quality. It's good to be the cook. ;)
Indeed, and it might develop an interest in interest in a punk band named "Civet"
Civet - -You Get What You Pay For- --Official Video-- - YouTube
Ok that is just mean!
...............This featured in that Jack Nicholson-Morgan Freeman movie about death, some years back...............
The Bucket List! Great flick, but then all movies with Morgan Freeman are great!
Anyone can make a fantastic cup of coffee out of a regular supermarket blend of whatever you like.
Get an Aerobie coffee maker for 25 bucks - amazon has them now for free shipping. Follow the directions. The key is getting the water to around 180 degrees. Not too hot to activate the tannens in the coffee and make it bitter. The coffee turns out great.
Beat me to it... first thing that came to mindafter reading the title. Just imagine how this "delicacy" was discovered. Just try and imagine the thought process and conversation that took place to come up with this bright idea and the discussions which took place as to what to say when MARKETING this S@&$!
Costa Rican is quite good - somewhat similar to the Guatemalan that I really love. Community Coffee actually has a pretty good Guatemalan available.
I would think that people having a heightened interest in things coming out of anuses, fecal fetishes, of just have otherwise boring lives and having nothing else interesting to say, may gravitate towards a coffee like this.
Fill in the blank as to who you think fit those groups.
Reminds you of a certain recent South Park episode? Stan becomes a cynical a$$hole?
The band should be more appropriately named "Women With Electric Penises".
I'll second that (re; the Community Coffee).
One night I heard some rustling in the undergrowth of my garden in Jakarta so went to get my little rat trap to catch the beggar. I went out with it and quietly approached the bush from which the noise was coming.
Do you remember the scene in Jaws when the police chief is throwing out chum to attract the shark and the Great White appears? The Chief backs off shakily, slack jawed and says "I think we need a bigger boat".
That was me when the civet cat came sniffling out at me from the hedge. I'd never seen one before and to confront one at ten pm at night face to face came as a bit of a shock.
When I had calmed down after a stiff drink my wife explained I hadn't encountered Ratzilla but a "mussang", which a bit of research confirmed was a civet cat. He became quite a feature of the garden, walking along the wall at night before climbing on to the mango tree to eat the fruit.
I contemplated catching him to feed him coffee beans to sell to dumb people at a hundred bucks a pound but thought better of it.
Ignore the flickering. It's worth it.
Little so-and-sos have it made.
Wow, they have an actual PO'ed cat as a lead singer!
I salute the brave soul that first thought of this.
;-) I'm reminded of the James Bond movie where he complains about the awful singer on stage "strangling a cat" and the Russian mobster says "that's my girlfriend".
Awkward ;-)
Apparently it required a deep, burning and passionate hatred of the Dutch ;-)

But execs for the publisher don't believe GTA is in need of annual sequels. Advertisement "In any non-GTA year, should we just assume you're not going to make money?" an investment analyst asked Take-Two CEO Ben Feder and chairman Strauss Zelnick during an investor call today."We're certainly not saying we can't be profitable in a non-GTA year," Zelnick responded. "We don't feel that GTA ought to be an annualized franchise." Advertisement Take-Two published Grand Theft Auto IV last year, following that with two downloadable expansions, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony in 2009. It also shipped Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS and PSP this year and a collection of the two downloadable episodes as Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City. Just don't count on a new GTA next fiscal year.Zelnick argued that there's "a balance between how long it takes to develop such an incredible title and meet consumer expectations and how long you need to make sure that an appetite has been both satisfied and whetted for the next franchise.""That's something I think the company has historically done rather well and I think the high profitability and resiliency of the franchise reflects that," he added.

Cyclical relationships between GDP and housing market in France: Facts and factors at play
In this paper we focus on cycles and trends of some macroeconomic and housing market variables representative of the French economy. In a first part, we empirically show that cycles in the housing sector, measured by housing prices, housing starts, building permits, sales or residential investment, are strongly correlated to GDP cycles with a lead lying between of one and four quarters, suggesting thus that a monitoring of housing fluctuations could bring useful information for macroeconomic forecasting. Interestingly, this result is robust to the various considered approaches. Moreover, it seems that the housing sector long-term trend possesses its own dynamics, quite different from the global French economic activity. Thus, in a second part, we review various structural factors that could drive housing market developments in France in the future.

When I try do download MDS 4.1.4 from http://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contac
We're Sorry...
How can I get MDS simulator?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Which country are you trying to download from?
I'm from Serbia.
MDS integrated in SDK and JDE (not sure which version is it) doesn't work within LAN where real Blackberry server lives, but it does work when I use it outside of that LAN. I thought perhaps separate download is somewhat newer and can fix this problem.
That download is not newer than what is included in the BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse.
Can you elaborate on the issue are you trying to solve?
I have a PC at work where simple http test app wouldn't work with Eclipse. It just wouldn't connect to http server and timed out after some time with MDS started. In the same private network segment I have real BB server with real MDS.
At the same time BB Browser on simulated BB979 worked just fine but it could be that it falded back from MDS to http.
Then I installed app on my real world BB and everything worked just fine but with real MDS (not simulated one).
I'm convinced that it's some kind of problem with MDS simulator.
I had to play with MDS simulator to make it startup with BB simulator. It could be that i touched something that i shodn't have at that time.
Then I tried to install it on my home PC and it all worked just fine. Of course, I couldn't access the same internal web server but after publishing it on firewall everything was working fine.
Since I already have newest MDS version, I will just try to make clean install from scratch and see what happens.
Thanks for help!
If you have a proxy server in your corporate environment you'll need to configure it in the MDS-CS Simulator. This link explains how.

Logo and website development for a consultancy business
This project received 73 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $590 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$250 - $750 USD
Total Bids73
Project Description
Hello. I need a professional logo and website for a new consultancy company I am starting. The website will have around 20 pages grouped under 5 main menu tabs. Except the contact us page and a quick contact form that will be present on most of the pages everything will be static. A couple of pages will have a lot of content and I would be interested in a more user friendly way to display their content. For example some kind of vertical accordion that will show only the content of a paragraph when it's title is clicked (just a thought). I would also like to have a nice rotating header on the homepage that will cycle through a few images with texts on them.
I would like to be able to change the main content (text) of the pages ( I have basic HTML knowledge). Adding pages will not be required. I am willing to pay more than the declared budget for exceptional work. Please send examples of websites you have developed with your bid.
I plan on starting the project within one week. If you have any questions, please ask me. Thank you.

For those with an interest in the X's and O's aspect of the game, Patriots coach Bill Belichick's weekly breakdown on Patriots.com is a worthy time investment. This week, the breakdown was included as part of the "Patriots All-Access" television show and here were some of the things highlighted by Belichick (around the 29-minute mark):
1. Pressure leads to interception – Ninkovich "game" sets it up. In a different wrinkle, Belichick shows how the defense runs a "game" with defensive end Rob Ninkovich, who plays off rushes by Vince Wilfork and Justin Francis by looping up the middle and pressuring Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill into an early throw that is intercepted by safety Steve Gregory. There is good man coverage down the field and Gregory makes a nice break on the ball. Solid all-around defense.
2. Jones lauded for best game of year. On the Gregory interception, Belichick points out a strong one-on-one rush by rookie defensive end Chandler Jones which also tightens the pocket. "Chandler played probably his best game of the year," Belichick says, highlighting how Jones used a power rush on rookie left tackle Jonathan Martin before coming back inside.
3. Special teams & field position. Belichick pointed out that the Patriots had solid field position for most of the season-ending win over the Dolphins, and showed one play on kickoff coverage that pinned Miami in close. Linebacker Niko Koutouvides, defensive back Malcolm Williams and safety Tavon Wilson are three players mentioned, as the Dolphins show the look of a "right return" but really want to come across the field to the left. The key is coverage players staying in their lanes. "Our field position in the game was outstanding. Our special teams did a great job," Belichick says.
4. Strong coverage + strong pass rush = good defense. As he's pointed out all season, Belichick picked a play in which the Patriots paired good coverage with a good pass rush, showing how the two complement each other. On this first-quarter play, it leads to one of seven sacks. A good jam by cornerback Devin McCourty contributes to the play (knocking down receiver Brian Hartline), and there is good man coverage on the other side of the field. That forces Tannehill to hold on to the ball longer than he desires, giving the pass rush – sparked by strong rushes from Rob Ninkovich and Vince Wilfork -- more time to get there (Justin Francis, who is in "perfect position" in front of Tannehill, slides off and ends up with the sack).
5. More pressure but with a wrinkle. Belichick picks another play in which the Patriots generated good pressure, doing so with a different twist as interior defensive linemen Vince Wilfork and Brandon Deaderick power rushed from an outside position. That collapsed the pocket against overmatched Dolphins tackles, who had no help because Miami was in an empty set. Combined with good coverage, with safety Steve Gregory coming down to take the under route, leads to another sack.

I've been a writer since 1956. I've seen writing and publishing change a lot over the years. I look forward to exploring the ways Wattpad connects people to reading and writing, and may help give them confidence through feedback from readers.
My website is http://www.margaretatwood.ca/
You can find the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/MargaretAtwoodAuthor
You can follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/MargaretAtwood
The Positron serial novel I was writing back in 2012 turned into a novel, The Heart Goes Last, which is coming out in September 2015. You can read about it on margaretatwood.ca, where you can also see the cover.
I am also an inventor and entrepreneur. Ten years ago, the LongPen -- the first it's-really-your-signature in pen on paper, but remotely -- made its debut. It is now part of the several different services offered by Syngrafii.com for business applications, and is also the basis for a writer/creator/fan/reader service being built at http://www.fanado.com/.
Fanado.com was used to sign, number, dedicate, and send 50 ebook covers for the Future Library launch with artist Katie Paterson in Oslo, Norway, which you can see at http://www.slideshare.net/OsloBusinessRegion/future-library-oslo. It was used to sign, number and dedicate the prizes for the Wattpad "Scribbler Moon" Future Library contest; you can see the 5 winners announced on Wattpad on the "Margaret Atwood's Dear 2114 Future Library Writing Contest" page, and below. Writers from 32 different countries entered the contest!

He greets the sun's angry face with a tip of his hat.
He is familiar with his wrath.
At noon, the battle begins.
But time is on his hands.
His journey is a short one.
The town he created sings with life
As the wind blows.
He is he giver of life.
He watches as the youngsters grow up tall and strong.
He is their master, but it is from them he learns.
Rough hands, gentle heart
And like every other day
He forms a new bond.
He plants new life.
He forms a connection with his masterpiece.
The sun grows weary and he falls from his perch.
And the full moon rises from its slumber.
From above, he watches.
Farewell he says
But the sun will bring him back again soon.
He is the protector.
He is the giver of town's life.
He is the farming man.

Man missing in Lake Coeur d'Alene identified
The Kootenai County Sheriff's Department has identified a man who is missing and presumed drowned in Lake Coeur d'Alene.
Riley Odwire, 24, who recently moved from Fernwood to Coeur d'Alene, reportedly was urinating at the back of a pontoon boat at 8:40 p.m. Tuesday when he fell into the water that ranges from 115 feet to 180 feet deep. Alcohol was believed to be a factor, the Sheriff's Department said today.
Searchers looked for the man between Carlin and Crescent bays Tuesday night after receiving a report about 8:40 p.m. from a friend of the missing man. The friend told dispatchers they were near Gotham Bay, but responding deputies found them near the middle of lake, between Carlin and Crescent bays, said Maj. Ben Wolfinger in a news release.
Sheriff's rescuers resumed their search today after suspending it at 11 p.m. Tuesday. Deputies from the Recreation Safety Section of the Sheriff's Department will be checking shorelines in the search area and preparing for the sonar search that will begin Thursday, weather permitting.

@MV-VOICE "as much as $700,000 in additional property tax revenue". Is AMES part of the "Regional Shoreline Park Community"? If so, that money doesn't really go to the City (or the schools for that matter).

Is the city of Mountain View already getting property tax revenue from the Federal Property used by NASA/Ames? If no, how could they get $700k additional from Google? Let em have their bridges, sounds like a good deal. Cha!

Did the city get paid off by google? why did the city council agree the bridges to be off limits to the public, and won't be transferred to the city for 30 years. As a resident, I'm getting concerned of the $ influence of Google and affecting the integrity of the city council and the charm of Mtn.View.

one who i had ,
but not all bad.
she could only make me happy,
and made me like a baby.
like the showering rain,
she can rub my pain.
may she with me always,
to show me the way.
how to tell her the story,
that mad me sad.
can anyone become like her,
this is the magic of care .
her love is like a dream,
with no bitterness of neem.
she is always cool dude,
and she is never rude.
never make me away from her,
that i can't bear.
