very nice
I purchased the radar detector just a week before leaving on a 13hr drive to new orleans for a needed vacation and let me tell you, it paid for itself within the first 3hrs of the trip. Honestly I did speed during that week I was gone but the Cobra XRS 9945 Radar/Laser Detector lived up to my expectation and more. Saved me 3 different tickets. the display very bright and easy to see. The voice alert is nice and loud so easily heard over the radio. Oh and i loved the compass disply. Great buy!

a substantially U-shaped metal cover having a pair of spaced opposite sides which respectively include inwardly extending marginal portions that are fitted into said side grooves of said connector body, whereby said U-shaped metal cover definesthree sides of a plug receiving hole and the fourth side of said plug receiving hole is defined by said connector body, said spaced opposite sides of said U-shaped metal cover also having stoppers extending inwardly at the rear end of said metal coverinto abutment with said back surface of said connector body, and the front end of said metal cover further having engaging pieces extending respectively from said spaced opposite sides of said U-shaped metal cover into engagement with said front surfaceof said connector body.
2. The telephone connector of claim 1 wherein said front surface of the connector body has a pair of recesses in communication respectively with said side grooves, leaving a pair of protrusions that are located respectively adjacent the frontends of said side grooves, said engaging pieces of the metal cover being L-shaped and inserted into said recesses for engagement with said protrusions, respectively.
3. The telephone connector of claim 1 wherein said connector body has a pair of outwardly protruding lugs on its opposite side surfaces for respective engagement with engaging holes in said metal cover.
4. The telephone connector of claim 1 wherein a central portion of said metal cover is raised in two steps to form stepped portions of said cover between the said opposite sides of said cover, said stepped portions of said cover having notchesformed therein for locking a plug that is inserted into said plug receiving hole.
5. The telephone connector of claim 1 wherein said resilient contact portion is at the front end of each terminal and a lead is connected to the rear end of each terminal and is led out of the connector body.
6. The telephone connector of claim 1 wherein each terminal includes a portion which extends downwardly and projects out of a bottom surface of the connector body.
7. The telephone connector of claim 6 wherein said metal cover has terminal lugs extending downwardly from said spaced opposite sides of said cover.
The present invention relates to a telephone connector for connecting a telephone set to a line wire or interior wire.
A telephone connector 2 is attached to a telephone set body 1 as shown in exploded form in FIG. 1, for example. In the telephone set body 1 there is provided a printed circuit board 3, and leads 4 led out of the telephone connector 2 areconnected to the printed circuit board 3 through a connector 5.
As depicted in FIG. 2, the telephone connector 2 heretofore employed comprises an insulating body 10 of a synthetic resinous material, terminals 11 fitted therein and contact members 14 electrically integrated with the terminals 11 for contactwith contacts 13 of a telephone plug 12.
The insulating body 10 has a plug receiving hole 10A. When the plug 12 is inserted into the hole 10A, the contacts 13 come into contact with the contact members 14, establishing electrical connection between the leads 15 of the terminals 11 andwires of a cord 16 connected to the contacts 13.
As will be seen from the above, the conventional telephone connector is formed, by a molding of synthetic resin, as the one-piece insulating body 10 which has the portion for holding the terminals 11 and the hole 10A for receiving the plug 12. Accordingly, the walls of the insulating body 10 need to be 1 mm or more thick so as to have a sufficient mechanical strength, and hence is inevitably bulky. Further, in order to provide electromagnetic shielding, the insulating body 10 must be coveredon the outside thereof with a shielding material, and this also will lead to the bulkiness of the conventional telephone connector.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a telephone connector which can be formed smaller in size than prior art telephone connectors, and which has an electromagnetic shielding effect.
According to the present invention, terminals are held in a connector body of an insulating material, the connector body has grooves cut into both sides thereof and extending in its front-to-back direction, and a U-shaped metal cover is locked tothe connector body with both side marginal portions of the cover fitted into the grooves of the connector body.
Three sides of the plug receiving hole are defined by the U-shaped metal cover. This makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the telephone connector, permits its miniaturization and provides the electromagnetic shielding effect.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the manner in which a conventional telephone connector is attached to the body of a telephone set;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the conventional telephone connector;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating an example of the telephone connector of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of another example of the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a partly cut away perspective view of the connector body 21 in FIG. 6.
FIGS. 3 through 5 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention. A connector body 21 of a synthetic resinous material is substantially a rectangular parallelpiped, which has terminal housing holes 22 extending therethrough in itsfront-to-back direction, the terminals, 11 being housed in the holes 22. The front end portion of each terminal 11 is turned up, forming the resilient contact portion 14. The connector body 21 has side grooves 23 and 24 in its opposite sides andextending in the front-to-back direction of the connector. The connector body 21 also has lugs 25 and 26 protrusively provided on both sides thereof above the side grooves 23 and 24, respectively. Moreover, the connector body 21 has at both upper frontcorners thereof recesses 27 and 28 in communication with the side grooves 23 and 24, leaving protrusions 31 and 32, respectively.
A U-shaped metal cover 33 is mounted on the connector body 21 to define the plug receiving hole 10A. The U-shaped cover 33 has a pair of opposite side walls whose lower end portions are bent inwardly to form engaging marginal portions 34 and 35,which are slideably fitted into the side grooves 23 and 24 in the connector body 21, respectively. The cover 33 is engaged with the connector body 21 by pushing the cover forward relative to body 21. When stoppers 36 at the rear edge of the cover sidewalls abut against the back of the connector body 21, lugs 25 and 26 of the connector body 21 engage holes 37 and 38 in the cover side wall, respectively, thus locking the cover 33 to the connector body 21. Then, L-shaped engaging pieces 41 and 42extending from the front ends of the engaging marginal portions 34 and 35 of the cover 33 are turned up so that they are inserted into the recesses 27 and 28 of the connector body 21 and engaged with the protrusions 31 and 32, respectively, therebyensuring the locking of the cover 33 to the connector body 21. The top panel of the cover 33 is raised in two steps toward its central portion and has in its stepped portions notches 43 for locking the plug.
While in the above embodiment of the invention the leads 15 are connected to the terminals 11, the present invention is also applicable to a telephone connector in which the terminals 11 are connected directly to a printed circuit board asexemplified in FIGS. 6 and 7, in which the parts corresponding to those in FIGS. 3 to 5 are identified by the same reference numerals. In this example the terminal 11 received in each terminal housing hole 22 is bent downward at its intermediate portionso that it projects out of the bottom of the connector body 21, as depicted in FIG. 7. A terminal lug 44 extends downwardly from the lower portion of each side wall of the cover 33 as shown in FIG. 6. The terminal lugs 44 are to be inserted into slotsin a printed circuit board and soldered thereto.
As described above, according to the present invention, since three sides of the plug receiving hole 10A are defined by the metal cover 33, the portion of the connector covering the hole 10A can be made thinner than in the case of theconventional telephone connector formed as a one-piece body of a synthetic resinous material. Thus, the telephone connector of the present invention can be made smaller in size. Moreover, the metal cover 33 provides the desired electromagneticshielding effect.
It will be apparent that many modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.

Ask a group of people what month they think most divorces occur in and you will get a number of different answers. Some will pick spring and early summer months. They recall spring as the season of renewal and new love. There are those who will think about a summer fling and pick an appropriate month, while others still consider the time around the holidays, where singles look for someone to cuddle up to and stay warm with, to attend holiday parties with, and to help fight the winter blues, infidelity being a major reason for divorce. But the smart ones, the wisest of all will say January, right after the New Year. When you hear it, you automatically know why. It's the same reason gym memberships go through the roof that same month, and attendance, both of which shrink shortly afterward. It's encapsulated in the phrase, "New year, new you." That includes cutting out the old fat, both on your body and a marriage that is weighing you down. According to UK law firm Co-operative Legal Services, filings for divorce increase around 300% in January each year. A catalyst might be all the stress and keeping up appearances over the holidays.
One of the major reasons according to a firm spokesman is that the children or the grandchildren have had a nice holiday, opened up their presents, and the other family members have gone back home. The study surveyed 500 newly divorced UK residents. 25% of respondents said they filed in January and knew they were going to split well before New Year's Eve. Some had even seen a lawyer before Christmas vacation, and decided to go forward with a divorce in the beginning of the next year. 43% of respondents said they wanted to wait until after the holidays in order to make sure everyone else could enjoy them. One-third said they wanted one last family Christmas. And one-third said they didn't want to go public just yet, so they kept quiet about it. 11% of respondents didn't want to hurt family members with the news, while nine percent didn't want it to crush a child on or near their birthday, which happened to fall around the same time.
Of the intrepid few couples who chose to announce their divorce over the Christmas break, a third said they would have kept it a secret until after New Year's. Most psychologists agree that keeping a divorce hush-hush until after the holidays is a good idea. It's a sort of benevolent lie. There are few in this category. But the announcement of a divorce does cause a family a lot of stress and upheaval. This is especially true if there are children involved. Any parent's first job is to make sure their child knows that they love them. But getting divorced over the holidays will leave a lifelong bad taste in the child's mouth. A company called Atomik Research conducted the survey on behalf of the law firm. They found the most common reasons for divorce, in 51% of cases, was infidelity. 32% said they fell out of love. 18% said they argued all of the time. Now you know the most popular month for divorce. For those going through it, remember to take care of yourself, and your children should you have them, learn to co-parent successfully, and only fight for what is important to you.

Graduation Date: Class of 2016
Hometown: Centennial, CO
Major: Fine Arts, Emphasis in Oil Painting; Business Administration Minor
Brad Archer
He says he came to Western from his home of Milliken, Colo., to indulge his fascination with people. He had been a state officer in the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, as well as an active citizen in the Potawatomi Nation of American Indians.
"When I was growing up," Archer explains, "it was just my mom and I. She was a Consumer & Family Studies teacher and inspired me to get involved. I started off going to the Nationals for FCCLA when I was 8, and it kind of started a tradition for me. I've always grown up in that atmosphere of productive student organizations. I guess I've always had an interest in how the people around us shape how we act."
Western's unique setting and intimate classroom experience is what originally drew him in. Like many students, he was drawn to Western by both winter sports and inspiring instructors.
"What first got me was the campus tour," Archer says. "I could tell I was going to get something different for a college experience. I came up in November 2011, and I immediately noticed the landscape. But I didn't know if I would like the school – then. I sat in on Karin Waidely's Introduction to Theatre class and made the decision.
"It's the relationships between students and teachers that keeps people here," he says, adding that the entire Gunnison Valley community has helped him flourish in a flexible environment and explore his potential. "I really love how open the Gunnison community is to helping students grow. Businesses in town are generally eager to help if you go to them with a proposition. It's all about helping students grow and bringing out our best qualities."
Now, Archer is a congenial junior who has recently become enamored with Sociology. He's even changed his major from Communication Arts major to that social science, which better reflects his interests.
Meeting Archer, it's easy to see why: He is committed to finding himself in service to others. Sociology's promise of a rich, multifaceted perspective on human relationships equips him with the tools to tackle almost any part of the student experience.
He pursues his passions on several fronts: snowboarding, as a participant in the Urban Gaming Club's Humans versus Zombies (a sprawling, campus-wide version of post-apocalyptic tag) and contributing to the Native American Student Council. As a member of the NASC, Archer has worked to encourage respectful learning about and revitalization of American Indian culture at Western.
"We're one of the smallest minorities on campus," Archer says, "so we're really focused on building an appreciation for Native culture and helping people learn about it in ways that aren't destructive."
Archer is also Western's senior resident advisor. He describes the position as a liaison between other RAs "in the trenches" of campus housing and administrators in Residence Life. Before becoming the SRA, he participated in the Sophomore Year Experience – first, as a freshman committee member and later as a Sophomore RA.
He describes an improbable universe in which he would rise to the likes of assistant vice president for Student Affairs, working under Dean of Students Gary Pierson to ensure everything runs smoothly for both students and administrators.
Archer has worked as a RA in Mears and Dolores halls, freshman dorms notorious for offering a wide variety of challenges to the hapless leader. When asked to share his favorite story from the front lines, he laughs.
"The flood, definitely," he says, grinning at the memory. "I got this call. They said, 'There's a flood.' It was on the third floor of Moffat, and a pipe burst in the middle of winter. I ran out of my room in shorts and a T-shirt, because it was the middle of the night. When I got there, we had to bale water out the windows with snow shovels. It was so much fun. We all had a good time."
He clearly loves his job. It plays to his nature as a social animal and his eagerness to foster a sense of community. He prefers to wade among the freshmen as a character and reliable resource, rather than as an authority figure.
And this makes him extremely popular. During the second week of fall semester, sitting outside Mad Jack's Café in University Center, Archer recognizes faces among a steady stream. Many greet him enthusiastically.
"Might as well do something," Archer affably explains, after speaking with several eager students. "Otherwise, you'll get bored."

Hunter Guthrie
Not only did he find a place to hike, rock climb and snowboard in the Gunnison mountains, but he found so many academic interests that he had a hard time settling on a major. Eventually he chose to major in Anthropology, with a double minor in Geography as well as Latin American Studies.
Along the way he worked as a peer mentor on campus, a Research Assistant in the Geography program, supervised the Rec Center climbing wall, participated in the Anthropology Club, filmed a movie about San Luis, Colorado as his senior project, and attended two anthropology field schools: David Hyde's archaeology field school in Belize, and Quetzil Castaneda's Yucatan, Mexico field school focusing on Maya medicine and traditional healing. Because of his desire to continue to learn and grow, he applied to graduate school at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada.
He was accepted and given a full-ride scholarship to study under Patrick Wilson, an accomplished Latin Americanist. Working as part of a research team, Hunter will be studying indigenous social movements and development in Ecuador and Bolivia.

After graduating high school, I had placed music (specifically percussion) on the back burner as nothing more than a hobby and by the time I started at Western, I thought it would be too late to pick it back up. My freshman year, while registered as a history major, I decided to help out the percussion ensemble with a few of their pieces and was astounded by the dedication and one-on-one attention they gave to a student who was not even part of their program. Since then, I have been taking advantage of the small classes sizes offered by the music department and enjoying the positive atmosphere maintained by all of the faculty in Quigley. Among other things, Western has renewed my passion for music and given me another chance to develop a lifelong skill which would have otherwise been put to waste.
"It's a tremendous honor to have been selected Miss Colorado United States and these days I'm frequently on the road at charity events," Schwiegerath says, "it always feels great to come back home to Gunnison and focus on my studies here at Western."
Schwiegerath graduated from Highlands Ranch High School in the Denver area and chose Western because of its mountain location and unique Professional Land & Resource Management program within the business department. "PLRM graduates find good, high paying jobs right out of college, and that's important to me," she says, "plus, it's really interesting!"
Western's PLRM emphasis in the business program prepares students for positions as land negotiators involved in energy and mineral exploration. Students learn land and resource management principles while taking classes in business administration, economics, geology, and environmental studies.
During Schwiegerath's sophomore year, her mother became sick and Schwiegerath had to take a break from Western and return to Denver to be with her family. While back in Denver, she attended classes at a large public university. "It didn't fit me," she says, "the classes were huge and I felt like a number. It made me really miss the personal attention and small classes at Western."
When the time was right, she returned to Western to finish her degree. "At the same time, I decided to try out for Miss Colorado," Schwiegerath says, "I wanted to do something for myself, and it sounded like a lot of fun."
Schwiegerath was crowned Miss Colorado United States in April of 2013. Since then, she's been busy taking classes at Western and volunteering at charity events across the state. "It's been a great opportunity to give back to some great causes," she says, "and I'm proud to tell people about how wonderful Western is when I travel."
Schwiegerath says she isn't the stereotypical Western student. "I'm not a skier and don't kayak or rock climb," she says, "but there is so much to do here if you're not into those things. I love to go to football and basketball games, I spent some time as a cheerleader, and there are tons of intramurals and other activities to keep you busy. Finally, you don't have to be a skier to appreciate how beautiful it is here in the mountains."
When she graduates, Schwiegerath, plans to work in the land management field. "But I'll always be looking for ways to give back to Western," she says, "so many Western alumni before me have been there to support us, and it's the least I can do for having had such a great education."

Zoe Smith
I'm from Rockford, Illinois about 60 miles outside of Chicago.
Why did you come to Western?
I came to Western because I came for a tour and was looking at schools all around the intermountain west, and then I came back to Western for a preview day. They had one of the old buildings sprayed with ice to form a climbing wall. Through the entire time, my admissions counselor was in really close contact with me and I felt like if I went to Western my success really mattered and they were committed to helping me out. It was the best decision I ever made!
Why did you choose the Recreation and Outdoor Education (ROE) program?
I worked for Outward Bound in the Sierra Nevadas three summers ago. Paul Tame (Western Professor) was really influential in having me become an instructor at Outward Bound. From there, I decided I wanted to do a little more schooling regarding outdoor leadership. I've been working for Outward Bound since. I think it will help having a little more classroom experience and field experience to bring into my career.
What else are you involved in at Western?
Wilderness Pursuits has been a huge component of my time at Western. Also, the Mountain Rescue Team and Mountain Sports cross-country and gravity mountain bike teams. I'm also on the endurance ski team.
What do you do with Wilderness Pursuits?
I instruct different courses throughout the school year. I also instruct wilderness- based orientation. We take people out (in the backcountry) and have a less traditional orientation. We'll go mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding and hiking. I do rafting trips and backcountry skiing as well.
What do you like about Western?
A small school with small classes; a close relationship with my professors. All the doors it has opened and all the experiences I've had.
What would you tell people considering attending Western and the ROE program?
Its' the best decision you'll ever make.
What do you like to do in your free time?
I really like mountain biking, cooking, and backcountry skiing.
Did your parents attend Western?
Yeah, both my parents are alumni.
Were they influential in your choice to pick Western?
They spoke really highly of their experience but they were really open to other schools. They didn't try to persuade me. It was my own decision. They were involved in the business, economics, and biology programs.
Was the Gunnison Valley a big part of them deciding to attend Western?
They were from upstate New York and Illinois and having such a beautiful valley to live in was a key component of coming here.
And your brother attends Western?
Cameron's in the Exercise and Sports Science program. He's doing the bike team and the Nordic ski team and does a ton of WP trips and really thrives off of the outdoor offerings here.
What's next?
I'd like to go to grad school somewhere, potentially at Western. I want to go explore but I definitely want to come back.

I seriously hate how my lalafel walks... it looks like im squeezing my balls (sorry....) between my legs really tight all the time. :( I didn't even like how they run either but at least it's more acceptable than walking.
Gawd I so loved how my taru in FFXI walked and ran.... not to mention waving, poking, dancing, etc. I just loved how they were in FFXI a LOT more than this. Anyone feeling the same?

EU retaliation to Swiss vote: Confederation excluded from Erasmus+
After the decision of the Swiss people by referendum in February to change the country's immigration system, the EU judged the founding principle of free movement of persons (institutionalised by an EU-Swiss agreement) and suspended the current negotiations on Swiss participation in Erasmus+. Switzerland is then classified until further notice in "partner countries". Find on the Commission's website all Erasmus+ activities open to Swiss participation.

Our new colleague had applied to 100+ jobs in the past few months, but it was useless. Absence of interviews made him to create his own method of applying. Here's the whole story:
"Over the past few months, I've applied to over 100 jobs (a conservative estimate). I was at times pumping 5 or 6 out per day. I got one interview out of all of them, which went terribly. A few weeks later I decided to try something new.
I applied to two jobs a week only. With each job, I'd take about three or four hours to research the company. I would write a completely original cover letter, tailoring it to the job description. If the job description was casual and quirky, I'd be casual and quirky. If it was serious, I'd be serious. I would include all of the keywords I saw in the description (research, writing ability, juggling multiple projects, etc) with specific examples. Then after I submit it, I looked on LinkedIn to see what 2nd and 3rd degree connections I had with that company, and if any alumni of my college work there, and email them for an informational interview. For all but the tiniest companies I was able to find at least one person to interview, and they all agreed to speak with me.
After around three weeks of doing that, I have six interviews this week, all for companies and positions I'm really excited about. 5 out of 7 of the companies I applied to using my new method called me for an interview; another one is from a recruiter who found me through one of the people I had an informational interview with. I also feel more ready for my interview because of all my research."
What people say to this:
"As a hiring manager I can tell that people do not put this strategy & effort into applications. I get generic resume after generic resume, none of which tell me why the applicant is suitable for the position. The few occasions I get a cover letter, it's equally generic. The people who put a little effort in, really do stand out."
"A good employer would know what they need to gain insight on first. For example, we don't always need to chase after personality and fit; but if the job calls for it, we define which specific traits or functional area to address. There are also a lot of validated assessments and hiring methods that can be applied for candidates to show what they are capable of. This way, the employer will have evidence of physical or documented proof of what exactly each candidate's capabilities and limitations are. They can use this solid information to make a more well-rounded hiring decision. However, if employers just rely on cover letters, where anyone can say anything, they can only make biased conclusions that are often inaccurate."
"I've had two more interview since that post, one for a job in my field which was awkward and I didn't get it, BUT they said they liked me, and one for a part-time retail job to tide me over, which was actually very chill and I did get that one. I guess you don't get to be a manager in retail without having decent interpersonal skills (well, hopefully). The two who interviewed me were nice and I felt like we could have an actual conversation."
"It's successful because it takes that much effort. The effort comes across in very subtle ways - most hiring managers wouldn't be able to put their finger on it, but the candidate just seems like a slightly better fit than all the other candidates in the pile. And it's not irrational for them to think so - after all, the essence of what makes a good employee is attention to detail and going the extra mile to get the job done. If you can put the effort into a job app even when there's no guarantee you'll get the position, you'll probably be able to put the effort into the job even when there's no guarantee that effort will pay off."
"Getting a job is like playing the lottery. You can do everything right and follow every single piece of advice anyone has ever given you and still not find a job. The value of experiences and education has gone down. You have to be like a superhero to get a job these days. There are so many people applying for jobs that it's impossible to find one in your specific field. I think I'll join the navy or something."
"I thought this was obvious? Of course you're not going to get called up if your application is the same for every job. If anything, you should have a different cover letter/resume for every job you apply for. I think the better tip is to first write a cover letter that seeks to convince someone why you would be good at that place in that position. Think of it as the first step in making the resume. It inevitably brings up points you would want to emphasize, how much you actually know about the job/company (and thus what you should research), and may even help you with the interview. Sorta the difference between giving a speech off the top of your head versus making one beforehand."
Just a true-life story.

Support » Fixing WordPress » 1.3 Cliff notes?
1.3 Cliff notes?
– Improvements over 1.2?
– Release?
– What changes do I need to make to my index.php?
I've been away for a bit, so any info will help.
Thanks 🙂
– Improvements? You betcha!
– Release? When it's done.
– What changes do I need to make to my index.php? Yet to be determined.
First, I'd keep an eye on the bug tracker, to see what sorts of bugs are being reported and fixed.
Next, peek through the CVS and look at the comments next to the files for anything interesting.
Finally, download a nightly and install it to a temporary directory. See what's different.
There isn't currently a publicly available running changelog, so we're kind of left to ourselves to figure a lot of stuff out. My guess — based on nothing more than the fact that one shoe is tied slightly less tightly than the other — is that 1.3 is still several weeks out, quite possibly several months out.
Could someone in the know post take a little time to post an update of the types of improvements being added to v1.3? What is te overall direction of the development of WordPress.
I'm not asking for lengthy details, but I think many of us would be interested in an update.
i'd love that as well…
I installed the nightly on a test site yesterday. Went through all of the admin interface and couldn't see any differences between it and v1.2-mingus.Moderator Ryan Boren
WordPress Dev
Infrastructure changes, code cleanup, bug fixes, … The permalink generation code has changed quite a bit and now supports %author% and %category% and paging everywhere. Most of the logic in wp-blog-header moved into query_posts(). There are some new functions for determing what type of page is being displayed: is_single(), is_archive(), is_category(), is_home(), etc. Several new plugin hooks have been added. Lots of work went into fixing the backslash problems and removing unneeded calls to stripslashes(). index.php can now serve up feeds and trackbacks. Just slap &feed=rss2 onto any index.php query to get an rss2 feed of the query results. posts_nav_link() now uses cruft-free URLs. /page/# can be appended to any permalink. /feed/ can be used in more places. PATH_INFO can be used to handle all permalinks, including feed and trackback. And lots more.carthik
rboren's words have gone into
I guess if everyone can add their discoveries, and the devs can add to that, we will be better prepared for when it comes out. 🙂Anonymous
so no major new features, at least not for people who don't author plug-ins. thanks for letting us know.
as an estimate, when are we likely to see true multi-blog support? 2.0?
It does look, at least for v1.3, that the work has been focused on the underlying features; features which the average weblog user (who, it bears to remember, is probably not a programmer) will not readily see the benefits.
With the additional plugin goodies, the devs probably need to emphasize that even average users will need to upgrade — if they plan to install plugins. Plugins developed using these new additions will not work, and will break on versions prior to 1.3.
I didn't see in Ryan's post mention of a version checker. Perhaps now would be a good time to include this within the plugin system; no need to force non-programming users of the weblog software to figure out why the plugin they just installed is causing grief when it could/should be handled within the plugin system.
I know there is a version variable; can this be checked by a plugin, and then the plugin automagically deactivates itself? Of course, it should let the user know it has done so….

WAAS Optimization of TSM Traffic
I have a question regarding WAAS optimization of TSM traffic. I know there is a policy in the WAAS that applies TFO+LZ+DRE to TSM traffic on ports 1500-1502. On our network there are nightly TSM backups that kickoff and according to the WAAS its reducing this TSM traffic by 90%. However, when I look at the Netflow statics off the routers at the remote site and the core site I see a far different picture.
At the remote site the inside ethernet interface sees approximately 21GB of backup traffic between the two hosts over a two hour timeframe. The serial interface of the core site sees approximately 23GB of backup traffic between the two hosts over the same timeframe and the remote WAAS tells me it reduced approximately 20GB of backup traffic to approximately 1.75GB.
Something is obviously not right here. Does any one else have any similar experiences or things they think I might look at to reconcile this?

Stayed for one night the bed was ok to say the least. The elevator going up to the second floor was tiny looked like it needed repairs. The outside of the building looked as if no one has touched it in many years, bricks were falling off, garbage was everywhere and just not a pleasant sight. Only plus was that it was relatively cheap to stay.

Había manchas en la almohada. El baño parecía muy viejo. Las almohadas parecían de muy baja calidad.
Muy limpio. Gran ubicación. Las camas son cómodas. Victor en el check-in era genial!
La vista era el increíble
El baño era pequeño y la ducha era super estrecha
Ubicación y servicios Honorarios por el acceso a internet - "predicen" lo que tee vas a gastar y lo cargan en tu tarjeta de crédito.
Los ventanales del suelo al techo son preciosos y se pueden abrir. La descripción de nuestra habitación decía que tenía vistas ininterrumpidas a las cataratas. Aunque eran preciosas, solo se podían ver las cataratas si te sentabas en el sofá y desde un ángulo pequeño. La habitación era demasiado cara para la calidad. Aunque estaba limpia, la decoración era aburrida, apagada y anticuada.
El personal es amable. Vista de las cataratas excepcionales. El aparcamiento es muy caro. Con cargo adicional y tarifas que pagamos más de 100.00 dólares para tener nuestro coche en una ubicación nada práctica. Aparcamiento
El hotel era bonito y limpio. El personal era muy amable y servicial.
No se puede superar las vistas desde los pisos superiores con vistas a las cataratas. Me encantó que la ventana que se abre, así que incluso puedes oírlas. Todas las atracciones están literalmente a unos pasos. No tienes que usar el coche! El personal era muy servicial y agradable. Las habitaciones son muy sencillas y descuidadas. Nos alojamos en la planta baja para una noche sin una vista de las cataratas y la ventana daba a un pasillo interior. Me sentí como en una mazmorra! Incluso los muebles de lujo de las habitaciones estaban descuidados.
Cerca de Clifton Hill. El parking está tan lejos y cuesta 30.00 dólares en cconcepto de tarifa de resort. 50.00 dólares adicionales después de pagar más de 100,00 por la habitación
El personal era amable y la habitación tenía una gran vista
Me cambiaron a otra habitación al azar con vistas a las cataratas gratis, increíble! Habitación grande, bonita y amplia. La ventana abre al exterior. Se podía oír y ver las cataratas toda la noche. Bonito y limpio. Nevera en la habitación. La tarifa del complejo incluía una cata de cerveza, además de otros beneficios. Me volvería a alojar allí de nuevo El aparcamiento es un poco caro, pero está todo.
Overall, the room seemed mostly clean, but very dated. The bed was huge and very clean. Amenities were minimal, but the staff was friendly and very helpful to this first time traveler to Niagara Falls. There was a convention of cheerleaders the weekend I was there and they kindly put me in a honeymoon suite away frim the noise. The location can't be beat. It's right across the street from the Clifton Hill entertainment district and about a 10 minute walk to the Falls. Lots of places to eat, even if you are like me with lots of dietary restrictions. The in house free breakfast is standard hotel issue, but nice to have on busy days. Some of the towels were slightly dirty and there was mold on the shower curtain. The swimming pool and the whirlpool are inside the front entrance (same place as the breakfast and check-in), so it's very hot and humid in that space. It also smells of chlorine everywhere in the hotel. For this reason, I think, the air conditioner was on the whole time (even though I had turned the room unit to heat, because it was snowing outside)! The room never smelled of chlorine though. The TV reception was also spotty at best, but ultimately not an issue, as I was out most of the time. The elevators are a little slow, but very cool, one being glass and facing the inside of the lobby.
Huge room, great location Very loud air conditioner, no refrigerator in room, poor quality hot breakfast items
Not bad but too expensive for the services
The staff was awesome, the location was the best in town and free parking Pool opens at 10 am, too late, and closes at 10 pm way too early
It was to light at night, all the lights were on outside the windows which made it hard to sleep
Overall very good, location, Very good breakfast & clean. The TV was not working. It had been unplugged. I had to move the large dresser to find out that it was unplugged & then plug it back in.
My bf and I stayed here for only one night in a whirlpool room. The room also had a fireplace which was nice and worked great. The entire room was VERY clean it was a great stay. Upon our arrival we were at the ice machine and saw a cleaning lady delivering a fridge to another room, since we were filling up on a tonne of ice she asked if we would like one in our room, she found a fridge and delivered it to our room immediatly! The pool is in a weird location but that didnt bother us and we didnt use it anyway. Hotel is right beside Nightmares and accross the street from Nigara Casino and a waterpark. We would definatly go back to this hotel!
Clean, great staff, nice lobby. No exercise room
I booked room in Nov. 2014. The hotel was close to many attractions in Niagara Falls, and at a reasonable walking distance from the Falls. It is clean, modern, offers a decent breakfast and the room we had was very good. The beds were quite comfortable. Its indoor facilities include a pool, Jaccuzzi and sauna. One of its main advantage is the free parking, which in NF is a big deal! Overall, definitely a recommendable hotel. On week-ends, expect families with kids that will monopolize the pool and Jacuzzi at certain times. Can't think of anything!
It was right in the heart of downtown and was so easy to go everywhere on foot. No added expense for taxi's or parking. The only critique I could give is that the pool was not open as late as I would have liked. It closed at 10 p.m.
the location - it was central and near to the Niagara Falls but nevertheless our room was quiet and peaceful.Unual swimming pool set-up in the receptiion area. Our rooms did not have a window opening to the outside - only onto the corridor outside the room - hence it felt somewhat claustrophobic.The breakfast area was very crowded and a bit chaotic.
I liked the second bedroom No
The location was great for walking to the falls and we saved a tremendous amount on parking. Plus the queen bedroom was pretty nice, though the bed was extremely firm. The queen room had a balcony though which was great at night (it was shared with the other room but we were by ourselves every night). The host was late and inattentive. We were locked out for twenty minutes because she left when we were scheduled to check in. Every time we saw her she seemed almost confused by us wanting to speak to her. Or maybe even annoyed. Breakfast was an egg and a half plus some toast. We spoke to a family at the table who said they had eaten the same thing three days in a row. Our host was just not someone you'd want taking care of you for the weekend. I say "host" because she never actually introduced herself the three days we were there. The original room we paid for promised a king bed, when in reality it was two twin beds pushed together. She told us no one had ever complained before. Luckily the queen room happened to be available so we switched.
Ubicación Caro. Pagué más que la mayoría de los clientes. El precio que me dieron era terrible. Había una tasa escondida de 30 dólares por el parking. Las habitaciones eran pequeñas y sucias. La televisión era pequeña.
Gran ubicación! Alfombra hotel es antiguo.
El personal era muy agradable. Habitación tamaño king era demasiado pequeña.
Nos pasaron a una habitación y limpia. La habitación era más pequeña de lo que esperábamos, por el precio que pagamos.
La ubicación era increíble. Cerca de todo. Limpio. Bonita habitación. Gran vista. El desayuno no era muy bueno.
Lo mejor del hotel su ubicación por proximidad al centro. Se trata de un hotel básico que está bastante "trotado". Además teníamos internet solo en los pasillos y zonas comunes del hotel, es decir, no había conexión wifi en la habitación.
La ubicación. Muy cerca de las cataratas y del puente que cruza a USA. El personal de recepción desagradable, nos dijeron que para ir al aeropuerto de Búfalo lo mejor era un taxi desde allí y que no fuésemos andando por el puente. No era cierto. Un policía nos explicó que pasar andando el puente era mejor, más barato y más rápido y así fue. Además, Por la noche tuvimos una fuga de agua en el techo del baño y se nos inundó, vino el de mantenimiento lo limpió y cuando fuimos a recepción para solicitar cambio de habitación no nos trataron bien, si siquiera se disculparon por el desastre y no nos dieron otra habitación.
Mi hija de 11 años no es nada tímida a la hora de pedir ayuda. Se hizo amiga de una de las señoras de la limpieza, Darlene, durante nuestra estancia. Darlene fue un encanto con mi hija y se aseguró de decirme que mi hija era muy buena.
La amplitud de la habitacion y lo cerca que estaba del centro (se puede ir andando), ademas el parking es gratuito. El personal del desayuno era lentisimo y no atendia hasta que no ibas a decirles por favor que si podían traerte un cafe.
la ubicacion. es caro para lo anitiguo que esta todo. para ir al piso de a bajo has de bajar as maletas a pulso.
Que esta muy cerca de las cascadas. El aspecto exterior
Excelente precio para tratarse de un sitio tan turistico como las cataratas del niagara. a diez minutos caminando. habitacion muy amplia y limpia El exterior parece muy cutre pero no es asi. que no os asuste.
Lo central que esta de todo lo relacionado con turismo a la cataratas y compras para turista internacional. En general todo esta bien, pero como sugerencia me gustaria encontrar la proxima vez un refrigerador para habiatacion de hotel.
La calidad precio y la proximidad a las cataratas. La piscina y jacuzzi geniales
Muy bien ubicado y excelente trato del personal.
Very helpful and courteous staff, location and cleanliness.
Neat and clean
Spacious rooms, easy access by car, coffee maker and a microwave in the room. The jacuzzi was really nice.Just enough separate from the busiest streets in Niagara, which we found only positive. Still everything is within walking distance. No water boiler in the room. The breakfast was quite simple. No restaurant.
Room was extremely spacious, staff was courtious
Very freindy staff,helpful,curteous,conventent location,well cared for premisis Did not like having to pay everyday to park my car,have never paid anywheres else .
We loved our room (we stayed in one of the King/Jacuzzi suites)! The breakfast was adequate...saved us time and money from having to go elsewhere! The staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful and able to answer all of our questions! Two small complaints, we didn't not get a "do not disturb" sign to put on our door and the pillows were terrible!
Nice rooms with Jaccuzzi in the room. Confortable...Internet hookup a plus. Thin walls .... lots of noise in hallway late at night......
The whirlpool tub and king size bed in our room were fantastic. This hotel is in an excellent location and was within walking distance to all tourist attractions. The continental breakfast was out of many food items by 9:30 a.m. and all tables were full so there was nowhere to sit for breakfast.
Great location None
We enjoyed the rooms and the breakfast. We were unaware that we had to call ahead on the 800 number in order to get points. We were told that we can call and get the points applied. Will this work?
Convenient hotel for a visit to Niagara Falls.
Ruidoso y lleno de errores Nada
El patio. El personal era amable. No hay asientos en el exterior.
esta muy bien situada a una calle de bajada de las cataratas y los sitios de ocio el personal era bastante prepotente y poco colaborador y las instalaciones del motel necesitan ser renovadas.
La bañera hidromasaje era genial
Cómodo para estancia corta. Bien ubicado cerca del parque de atracciones y tiendas, no tanto de las cataratas. Me parece más motel que hotel. Separado el edificio principal de las habitaciones.
Nos dieron nuestra habitación.
Fue un trayecto muy breve hasta el crucero Hornblower, a poca distancia. Tienda abierta las 24 horas literalmente al lado. Un rollo de papel higiénico, tenía miedo de acabármelo.
I like that the non smoking rooms are far enough away from the smoking rooms. The 'continental breakfast' leaves much to be desired.
The room was clean and comfortable. 1. There were no real breakfast there - only some cookies. 2. I was unable to get the real invoice for my stay.
The great location and accommodating staff. The amenities were lacking but were comparable to those at nearby locations.
for what you get out of the price to stay it is a good deal
Location, Staff, Cleanliness, Price SLOW wifi
The Jacuzzi in the room was nice. The air conditioning was a life saver. Plenty of towels. Pillows were a little small on the King sized bed. A balcony would have been nice.
Close to the attractions, clean rooms, free parking Still has poor breakfast options, hard to find room in basement
i did not like anything. staff treated me as a child. could not even bring friends into my room without being questioned by staff. the way the manager treated me with no respect.
Good location for the price Should of had microwave or coffee maker in room
The room was very comfortable and spacious.Would reccomend No complaints had everything we wanted
we found it to be quiet at night,which was nice,we were close enuf to attractions,but not caught up in the hustle of it. coulda had more towels,with the hot tub suite...a robe woulda of been nice also.
Great location for the Falls, easy walking distance, car not necessary to move aroung the area. Very comfortable bed, good hot water, quiet room. Good value for the area Room cleaning was not so good, spilled food behind the dresser. Continrntal breakfast wa pretty basic
Location is excellent! Room a little outdated but location makes up for it!
It needs to be said that there is no elevators and that everything you need to do from check in/out, to getting ice, to buying a drink involves going to the hotel next door, not sure if it is in the process of being bought out but very inconvenient.
Location to everything around Niagara Falls. We were able to walk everywhere. No wifi. Were were able to pick up the signal from the main hotel sometimes, but it wasn't always direct.
walking distance to the attractions. It was just a place to sleep. could of been cleaner. Outdated. old beds.
Staff were pleasant but they were from the hotel next door. Actual blood on towels, which was disgusting. Room smelled musty and unclean. Otherwise everything in the hotel worked.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

Chapter 9: The Heart Reader
"Blu? Who was that?" Jewel asked Blu. Blu was still shivering a little. "I... He's a friend of Paul's..." He managed to say. "You seem afraid of him," Jewel said. "Yeah... I am... a little..." Blu stammered. Jewel tried to comfort him. "He wasn't doing anything bad, he was just clearing out those traps. There's nothing to be afraid of." Blu nodded. "Yeah... Those were the traps Paul and I got caught in this afternoon."
"He's pretty skilled, don't you think?" Jewel asked Blu.
"What do you mean?"
"He's pretty big-sized for a crow, and he can still dodge all those traps."
"Yeah, that's because he planned all of his movements carefully."
After chatting for a while more, the two lovebirds decided to head back home.
When they got back to Linda's room, Linda was already home. She opened the window for them. After putting Jewel down on the couch, Blu flew over to Linda. Linda did her handshake with Blu and tickled his neck.
I've yet to try that on him, Jewel thought while she watched this. When Blu flew back over to her, she used her talons to tickle Blu's neck, similar to how Linda did it with her fingers. Blu started to purr in pleasure. It felt good when Linda tickled him, but when Jewel did it, it felt about a few times better. Jewel giggled. "You like that, don't you?"
After a few more minutes of tickling Blu, Jewel decided to stop. Blu immediately slumped onto the couch. His expression was still dreamy from Jewel's tickling. Jewel lay down beside him and gave him a kiss.
"Good night, baby Blu," she cooed lovingly.
Blu blushed at the nickname. "Good night, Jewel."
"Hah, I never thought you'd make it," Paul said as Alex flew into his hollow.
"Why do you sound like you sent me there to die?" Alex rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, at least I can go there without getting stuck in some stupid net. And if I did send you there to die, I would've made sure you didn't come back."
"By the way, I saw your student there."
"Oh, that genie Blu? Was he makin' love with his little girlfriend? I didn't think he'd actually listen to me when I told him to."
"Não, no. They were just having dinner."
"Whatever. Get outta my house. I'm going to bed."
"Adeus. Farewell." Alex flew away.
While flying, Alex thought about what he had seen when he saw Blu and Jewel earlier that night. He had looked into both their hearts, similar to how he had done so to Blu. Confidence, anxiety, love, fear, happiness and hatred. Hatred towards those who threaten to take away her freedom, hatred towards those who seek to hurt her. Similar to Blu, only more confident. It seems both of them grew up not knowing either of their parents. But when I looked back at Blu, I think I saw... no... it must have been my imagination.
The next day, Blu and Jewel woke up at the same time. "Morning, Blu," Jewel said cheerfully. "Good morning," Blu said as he stretched his wings. "I'm gonna go see Paul today, do you want me to come home early?"
"Well, if you could that would be nice, but you don't need to go out of your way."
"Alright, see you later!" Blu said as he opened the window and flew off.
When he reached Paul's hollow, he had already prepared breakfast for him and Blu. Paul tossed Blu one half of a mango. "So, I heard you had some fun yesterday at that treehouse?" Paul teased Blu as usual.
"No, we just had dinner." Blu said.
"Sure, that's what they all say." Paul laughed as he swallowed a bite of the passion fruit he had in his wings.
"Who is they?" Blu asked, sounding curious.
"Alex. You saw him, didn't you? Or were you too distracted by your mate?"
"Oh yeah, about him..." Blu wanted to find out more about this 'Alex'.
"What is it now? Did he interrupt the mating ritual?" Paul said, trying to sound obnoxious.
"No, I just want to know more about him."
"Ok, well, um... he claims he can read your heart, but I think that's a whole lot of rubbish. He's a pretty weird guy, to be honest. He doesn't have a home, he spends the whole night meditating on top of Jesus' head. He doesn't sleep at all. And he's a pretty quiet guy."
Blu was surprised at what he had heard. "What do you mean by read hearts?"
"He says he can look into your heart and see all your emotions. Creepy, huh?"
"Ok… so, how did you and him become friends?"
"We've come a long way, my genie friend. But he's helped me out a lot, and I respect him. Sort of."
Recalling how Paul had called Alex a jerk and acted obnoxiously when Alex brought Blu to him, Blu laughed a little. "Sure seems that way," he said sarcastically. Well, he doesn't seem too bad according to Paul, and he hasn't really done anything bad to me or Jewel, so I won't worry about him. Blu thought as Paul finished up his meal and started on Blu's lesson.
That night, when Blu got back to Linda's room, Linda and Jewel were waiting for him at the window. "Blu, remember how I told you how I would make a new bookstore here?" Linda asked as she closed the window after Blu flew in. Blu gave her a nod. "I've finally found somewhere we can set it up!" Linda said cheerfully. Blu squawked happily and flew next to Jewel. "You seem happy," Jewel said as she smiled at him. "Of course! I can stay here with you for the rest of my life, I've never felt any happier." Blu chirped.
A.N. Short chapter, I know. Anyway, this was just a filler, because I had a s*** ton of homework this weekend and hardly got any time to write. Tell me how garbage I was in the reviews. :D
I haven't got that many requests in the reviews to write a lemon, which isn't a big surprise, because nobody really reads this garbage anyway. However, just to let you know, if I don't get enough requests from you guys I will NOT write one, and even if I did I'm pretty sure it would be horrible. So if you reaaaally want me to write one, bleh.
Roarrk: I edited those parts a bit to make it better. Writing a story while half-asleep is definitely not a good idea.
dark-kazoo: okcan :)

By Kim Painter, USA TODAY
What can be done about ringing in your ears or flu viruses in your nose? Those are the questions in this week's mailbag.
Q: I enjoyed your Nov. 2 article on hearing aids. I have heavy tinnitus. Is there a hearing aid that can filter out this miserable ringing/buzzing in my ears?–Richard Colwell, Farmington Hills, Mich.
A: First, as you probably know, you are not alone in your misery: 10% to 15% of adults have prolonged tinnitus (TIN-a-tus or tin-EYE-tus), defined as the perception of sound in the head when no outside sound is present, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association says. Many, like you, perceive the sound as ringing, though others describe a whooshing, chirping, whistling or other sound.
"There are some people that are just driven crazy by the problem," says Debara Tucci, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat doctor) at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. And everyone with tinnitus should be checked by a doctor, she says, to see whether a cause can be found. Treatable problems, from allergies to ear wax, can cause tinnitus, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
But for many people, Tucci says, hearing aids can help. That's because tinnitus is often a side effect of hearing loss. When the brain is deprived of sound input from the ears, she says, it may compensate by creating its own sound effects. So treating the hearing loss – which often involves the use of sound-amplifying hearing aids – can provide relief.
Other devices, including some that create music or other sounds to mask the tinnitus and retrain the brain, also can be used, with or without conventional hearing aids, she says. Some people can get relief with easier, cheaper approaches, such as playing soft background music or using a noise machine to create other soothing sounds. Meanwhile, alternative therapies, including relaxation techniques, acupuncture and vitamins, are under study.
Finally, Tucci notes that tinnitus often fades or becomes less bothersome with time. "It affects different people very differently," she says.
Q: I am wondering about something that I came across on the Internet. The suggestion was that people could reduce the danger of germs, including swine flu, by gargling with warm saltwater twice a day and also swabbing the inside of nostrils with warm saltwater. If this is true, why hasn't it been publicized more?–Edith Pennock, Porter, Maine
A: Unfortunately, gargling or swabbing your nose with saltwater once or twice a day is unlikely to help prevent swine flu or any other respiratory infection, says Sandro Cinti, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor.
"It doesn't make sense physiologically," he says. That's because when you are around other people with colds or flu, you encounter viruses throughout the day. They are transmitted through the air or get into your nose, eyes or mouth when you touch your face after touching a germ-covered surface. Once inside the body, viruses can immediately start infecting cells. "The virus is not going to wait around" until you try to wash it away later that day, Cinti says.
A better strategy: Keep your distance from sick people, wash your hands often and avoid touching your face (see my Sept. 28 column about why that's important, though difficult). If you can, get a flu vaccine, which is the most effective way to prevent any flu, according the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (Learn more at flu.gov.)
A caveat: A soothing gargle or a saltwater nasal spray might help relieve your sore throat or stuffed nose after you get a cold or flu. And more thorough nasal rinsing (also called nasal irrigation) has been shown to help relieve chronic nasal symptoms associated with allergies and sinus conditions.

1 year old swiss chard
I have never grown swiss chard or eaten it. Last summer I planted it but it did not really grow much, it was too shaded I think. I never pulled it up. It wintered over (in the cold, we live near Washington DC!) and it is bright green and growing like crazy right now, its over a foot tall. I assume I should cut the big leaves off which are probably not any good for eating, hoping I can soon pick smaller leaves? Or should I just cut it off to about 2-3 inches and hope it grows back?

Cornflour On Fondant
Decorating By Sandysdream Updated 9 Jul 2010 , 3:01pm by mamawrobin
I know someone asked this a while back, but I cannot find it. Please help - how do you get the cornflour that you roll your fondant out on off the fondant, especially the dark colours?
Thx again for helping!
I use a hand held clothes steamer most of the time. Just have to be careful not to drip water on the cake. If I have colors that I'm worried will bleed I take a pastry brush and a little shortening and gently brush it off the cake. Both methods also give a nice sheen to your cake.

Kareido no Oni was an oni of the Shadowlands.
Creation Edit
Kareido no Oni was created by Daigotsu as a reward to the Ghul Lord for his aid during the struggle against Iuchiban. They had the ability to mimic the landmarks and buildings around them, making them blend in to their environment. A short, rigid pair head tendrils like horns, and a much longer, flexible pair from the rear of their skull that could be used like a whip. [1]
