The Cable Industry Is Off to a Strong Start
It's that time of the year: Performance reports are starting to trickle in from the cable and telephone industries.
Here is some good news for cable operators: The cable industry stands to collect significant gains in wireline broadband market share from 1Q17.
According to FierceCable, Comcast added 438,000 high-speed Internet users during 1Q17. Meanwhile, Charter Communications was close behind at 428,000 additions.
Unfortunately for competing telephone providers, the results were a bit different.
Frontier Communications, for instance, lost 102,000 broadband customers last quarter. AT&T, meanwhile, added just 115,000 subscribers and Verizon FiOS added only 35,000.
Cable operators should be very pleased with these figures, especially when considering the strong year that the industry had in 2016. As FierceCable pointed out, cable operators collected about 3.3 million high-speed Internet subscribers during 2016. Phone companies, meanwhile lost about 600,000 subscribers last year.
The big winners in cable from 2016 were Comcast, which added 24.7 million HIS subscribers and 1.4 million Internet customers last year. Charter Communications, for that matter, added over 1.6 million broadband users.
Cable companies, it should also be noted, brought in 122 percent of broadband gains last year — an increase of 18 percent year over year from 2015. And in 2014, cable brought in just 84 percent. So things are moving in the right direction here.
Granted, it's only the beginning of the year and so these figures are liable to go in any direction. But for now, this is a cause for celebration.
How do you see the rest of the year playing out in the cable industry?

If Chicago police are to be believed, they simply don't know what a black 8-year-old boy looks like.
That's the defense the department is giving for why it handcuffed a child during an early morning raid by Chicago Police Department and SWAT on a family home on March 15. The raid—one of several local news station CBS 2 Chicago has investigated over the last year—left 8-year-old Royal Wilson traumatized, his family says, and is the center of a new lawsuit, to be filed Thursday morning against the Chicago PD.
The incident began before 6 a.m. on a Friday morning, when the Wilson family were startled by flashing lights and a police bullhorn commanding them to go outside their South Side home, single file, with their hands up.
The Wilsons said they did their best to comply with the orders of the police and SWAT team, who had come by to raid their home off a tip from an anonymous source claiming the Wilsons had guns in their house.
Still, police saw fit to handcuff Domonique Wilson and her sons, including Royal Wilson, and held them out on the street—where it was cold, windy, and drizzling—as police conducted a raid that turned up nothing.
"I didn't know what was going to happen. I was just scared, my legs were shaking," Royal told CBS 2 Chicago. "I was worried about my sister most because she was only six years old. I thought that my family was going to get taken away from me."
As Royal, his 9-year-old brother and his 6-year-old sister began crying, their mother, Domonique tried to reassure her children and keep her composure, asking police if they could take the handcuffs off her young son.
"It took the breath out of me, the life out of me," she said. "I had to be strong in front of my children. You have to be the leader to be strong to tell your children to just stand and be still while I'm being embarrassed, humiliated," she said.
According to the family, police took the handcuffs off Royal after 30 minutes, long enough for the restraints to leave bruises on his arm. Domonique Wilson, her adult sons, and their girlfriends all remained handcuffed and detained outside their home for two hours, they say.
Responding to CBS 2 Chicago's report last week, Chicago police issued a statement saying officers were responding to information that an assault rifle was being kept at the Wilson's home. Police also told the local news station that Royal was handcuffed because police didn't know the boy's age.
"Once they determined his age, [police] said they removed the handcuffs," writes CBS 2 Chicago.
But the incident has stayed with the family for the last few months. Smashed drywall in her hallway and bedrooms remain unfixed—one photo from inside the Wilson's home shows a gaping hole in a hallway ceiling—and Royal still has nightmares about the event.
"[Royal] wakes up every night crying, asking, 'Why?'" Saying he can't sleep, thinking they're going to come back here. Saying he had dreams that they shot us,d" Domonique said.
"They violated my home," she said. "They violated my constitutional rights. It's not fair at all."
Attorney Al Hofeld Jr. filed a federal civil rights complaint on behalf of the Wilson family on Wednesday—his fifth such suit against the Chicago PD to date.
"There is a silent epidemic of trauma being perpetrated upon the children and families of the South and West Sides of our city by Chicago police barreling into the wrong homes, handcuffing innocent adults, holding guns on children, handcuffing children, trashing their homes, refusing to show warrants, and screaming dehumanizing commands," Hofeld said in a press release shared with The Root.
He noted that currently, the police department has "no training or policy" addressing how officers should treat children during these events, and no understanding or acknowledgment of the ways these violent, shocking raids can impact them.
"These cases get little attention because most of the injuries—which are profound and psychological—are invisible," he added, "and because these police raids on the wrong homes are so pervasive in these communities they are, shamefully, accepted as inevitable."

I read the sample after seeing this promoted elsewhere; I'm quite looking forward to reading the rest, though I'm a little burnt-out on dystopian techno-future right now… seems like we're on an upswing in that again right now. Or at least my to-read stack is :)
The Big Idea: Marissa Meyer
Posted on January 10, 2012 Posted by John Scalzi 15 Comments
Fairy tales have been around for centuries — and will be around for centuries because their core stories are adaptable to changing times and circumstances. If you doubt this, take a gander at Cinder, author Marissa Meyer's new take on the Cinderella story. What changes does she make and what do they mean for the story of the girl with the slipper? Meyer explains how moving Cinderella out of the past and into the future has given the story new life in the present.
My Big Idea for Cinder might just be the smallest idea in the book.
"Cinderella… as a cyborg."
Four little words that still epitomize the novel, describing its general concept just as succinctly as they did three years ago, when I first heard them. They came as I was falling asleep, floating in that delirious state between waking and dreaming, when practically anything can seem like a novel-worthy idea. Cinderella… as a cyborg.
It clicked, immediately. The character filled up my head as I lay there in the dark—a girl oppressed by society and her step-family. A girl slaving away on robots and hovercars, using her built-in skills to earn her keep. A girl with one mechanical hand and one mechanical foot, her identity forever trapped between human and machine.
Her story began unfolding so fast I had to get out of bed and jot it down before I lost it, and though I found my notes mostly jumbled and nonsensical the next morning, the Big Idea lingered. And grew.
Though that night may have knocked the dominoes over, I'd been setting them up for months, since the first Slightly Smaller Idea had come to me: I'm going to write a series of futuristic fairy tales. I'd been brainstorming since, making lists of my favorite fairy tales and beloved space-opera tropes. Things like evil regimes and high-tech weaponry, androids equipped artificial intelligence, and sexy spaceship captain. I kind of have a thing for spaceship captains. I'd been toying with visions of Rapunzel trapped in a satellite rather than a tower, or Snow White in a suspended animation tank instead of a glass coffin.
Little ideas—little dominoes in a neat little line—until Cinder came stomping through and kicked them all over.
It seemed almost inevitable at the time.
Cinderella, as a cyborg. Obviously.
But those four easy words that dropped into my brain that night, in such a tidy little package, don't begin to touch on all the ideas that shoved their way into the story afterwards.
They make no mention of the deadly plague sweeping my futuristic Earth, creeping ever closer toward the major cities. Or the cyborg draft that's been instated to find an antidote—whatever the cost.
They say nothing about a beloved sister or a spunky android or a wise doctor who's slowly losing his mind.
They do not even hint at an entire race of evolved humans with mysterious powers of mind-control, residing on the moon and waiting for the right moment to strike.
It's impossible to look at those words and see how they've been transformed into a story that's taken up so much space in my head, it required not one book to write it, but four. Each inspired by a different classic fairy tale and introducing new heroes and heroines to a cast that includes misfits and royalty, soldiers and thieves, computer hackers and genetically-modified mutants.
And, always, a cyborg Cinderella.
It is a Big Idea. One that's easy to pitch and fun to say and translates well to a cover with a mechanical foot inside a glass slipper. But it pales in comparison to all those other ideas that have fused together to make up Cinder, a novel that has refused to stay confined within four simple words.
Thankfully, my publisher has given me four whole books to do the story justice. Challenge accepted. Let the Lunar Chronicles begin.

I haven't heard of this book before, but will definitely check it out! Space Opera + Fairy Tale, sounds good to me :)
I really enjoyed the sample over on Tor.com. Once again, the Big Idea just adds to my to-be-read pile.
read the sample, loved it!
bought the book…
read the book (in 1 day)….
Can't wait for the next books!!
Marissa also has a Cinder prequel story at Tor (http://www.tor.com/stories/2011/12/glitches) in which the events occur a few years before the novel starts. I enjoyed the novel and am intrigued to see where she goes in the next three books.
I really enjoyed Tanith Lee's reworking of classic fairy tales into Something New and Different, can't wait to see how this book turns out!
I read the story up on Tor.com as well and really enjoyed it. Luckily she's in my town tomorrow night for a signing. I was kinda on the fence on whether or not to go to it, but I think I just decided that I should head on over. I always enjoy meeting authors and adding to my collection of signed books.
I think Marissa might have a hit on her hands. I read the Tor story, liked it, was a bit ambivalent about the story being spread out over 4 books so I thought I'd check my library just to see if they had a copy.
"53 holds on first copy returned of 41 copies"
Erm… yeah, just might be popular…
I bought the ebook and loved it! Now I can't wait for book 2.
This is an awesome book. I was only disappointed by the fact that the second book is not out yet!!
Lately, I've been waiting for an entire series to come out before before committing, but this premise sounds terrific.
I'm also really impressed with the cover art. The illustration is great and the type design top-notch. Does anyone know who designed it?
I just finished this, and think everyone should buy this book – it is Wonderful!
Eric D. – Acording to the Macmillan site, cover design is by Rich Deas.
My 7 year old daughter bought this from the book fair and she didn't understand it, So I picked it up and started reading. I loved it and can't wait for the next book to come out.
Thank you for a great read but you have left me hanging for more :-).
What is the purpose of setting this in "New Beijing"? Is there any sign that the author knows anything about Chinese culture?

Our life can be accounted to be a very boring one if we account for all we do on a daily basis. But how to add some spices to it. To make the life a better one, there comes to play an exciting & pleasing activity called ENTERTAINMENT. This not only adds to some relief to our lives rather helps us think and analyze the world in a different way.
Entertainment refers to something that makes someone happy by adding pleasure to their life. This can come in multiple forms like a series of activities or tasks that have been developed over years to draw the attention of the people and give them enjoyment. Roughly any kind of activity that could cheer or gives pleasure is considered to be entertaining.
Entertainment fills up a long list starting from storytelling, reading a novel, watching television series, dance, art, events, and circus and so on. Entertainment is an age-old tradition. It has been coming from the days, kings and queens employed special people to give them pleasure in the form of music or dance. The fight of the gladiators in the amphitheater of the Colosseum of Rome is one of the most significant examples of entertainment. The forms of amusement are many. Some religious festivals, party or dating nights, every way we enjoy is a part of the so-called entertainment.
There is a difference between the recreation that we get by attending our regular classes and the one we get by watching a television show. We crack jokes with our friends at schools, spend time in shopping, but all of these are short moment things that recreate us. But entertainment is that is basically prepared with the motto of making us enjoy it. Many researchers have put forward the idea that the best environment comes from the media. The shows that are portrayed on the television is made separately suiting the choices of the public according to the age group they belong to.
As the days will go by, there will be a rising number of the forms of entertainment. Lifestyle is becoming more complicated. People are overstressed. This gave rise to the number of appliances that have improved our access to the environment. With the introduction to radio and television, the technologies paved way for computers and mobiles, iPods, tablets to the best networks. Enjoy the ride. Life is short. Choose for the best entertainment to keep you happy.

4K 1ms monitors are popular among gamers because they are less blurry than their more expensive counterparts that have IPS or VA panels. This preference is also supported by the fact that 4K monitors are still limited to 60Hz, so every blur-reducing capability becomes more crucial in fast-paced gaming. The 1ms spec is a typical sign that a display product utilizes TN technology, which is known to be faster in pixel transitions at the expense of vibrancy and viewing angles.
However, always take the 1ms tags on packaging with a grain of salt, since most LCD panels, even TN displays, cannot reach it. Products that advertise this number merely mean that they have TN panels and are snappier when it comes to GTG shifting. When this advantage is combined with a crisp and detailed screen, users get a level of enjoyment that is usually unavailable in IPS or VA monitors.
The Best 4K 1ms Monitors
4K 1ms monitors aren't that common in the market nowadays, but thankfully, we still have a few options. These products do not offer fancy tidbits such as HDR or pinpoint color accuracy which means they are affordable and perfect for a gaming setup.
1. Asus MG28UQ – 4K 1ms Monitor with FreeSync for Gaming
We closely regard the Asus MG28UQ as the best 4K 1ms monitor with FreeSync for gaming due to its excellent performance in all aspects. The monitor is virtually blur-free when objects or colors fly by the screen, plus its low input lag ensures that your controls are always on the dot. We've recommended the Asus MG28UQ to a lot of PC and console gamers thanks to its capabilities, premium design, and applause-worthy build quality.
2. Acer XB281HK – 4K 1ms Monitor with G-Sync
The Acer XB281HK is the G-Sync alternative which performs just as good as the Asus MG28UQ above, but with an affinity for Nvidia GPUs instead. This Predator series gaming monitor offers the best premium features such as its fully-flexible stand and Acer's complete suite of OSD options. If you have a green-team GPU in your PC and want an aggressive, gamer-centric 4K 1ms monitor, the Acer XB281HK is your only choice.
3. BenQ EL2870U – 4K 1ms Monitor with HDR
The BenQ EL2870U may have a TN display, but it does include the brand's latest technologies to enhance your viewing experience. This monitor comes with an emulated HDR feature which adds a nice touch of vibrancy and more profound contrast to your games and movies. BenQ's Brightness Intelligence Plus feature is a significant bonus to the package since it automatically adjusts brightness with aplomb for the user's convenience and comfort.
4. Samsung U28E590D – 4K 1ms Monitor for Mixed Use
The Samsung U28E590D is one of the cheapest 4K 1ms monitors you can buy almost anywhere, including Costco and Amazon. The popular entry-level UHD monitor offers decent performance in imaging quality and responsiveness which makes it an excellent choice if you want a simple, yet functional 4K display. The U28E590D's only downside is it cannot stream UHD content from services like Netflix, but for $300, that fault is easy to ignore.
5. Asus MG24UQ – Compact 4K 1ms Monitor for Gaming
The Asus MG24UQ is a smaller, 24-inch variant of the first entry with the same high quality and performance. The TN panel in this monitor is highly suitable for competitive gaming, especially if it wasn't limited to 60Hz. We recommend the Asus MG24UQ to users who want a 4K 1ms monitor for constricted spaces such as apartments or dorms.
6. AOC U2879VF – Entry Level 4K 1ms Monitor for Mixed Use
The AOC U2879VF isn't the best 4K 1ms monitor out there, but its very low price makes it a great choice for the budget conscious. The TN display offers decent imaging quality to enable users to enjoy movies, browsing, or even casual gaming. Despite lacking premium features, the AOC U2879VF looks attractive enough with its metallic stand and sleek but chic chassis design.
7. Samsung U28H750 – 4K 1ms Monitor with Quantum Dot
The Samsung U28H750 improves its gamut volume and vibrancy over its predecessors by adding Quantum Dot technology to the TN panel. This feature enhances the color output to 1 billion shades, making images pop for jaw-dropping visuals. Gamers and professionals get some mileage from this modern variant thanks to valuable add-ons such as FreeSync and Dual Screen/PIP modes.
Editor's note: 4K 1ms Monitors are becoming less common thanks to the market's preference for IPS and VA displays which offer better colors, contrast, and viewing angles. However, the enthusiast gamer in us dictates that snappy screens with fewer flaws such as blurring are still better for playing our favorite fast-paced titles. TN technology has never been better, meaning the mentioned disadvantages have become less substantial when compared to the advantage in speed.

Tucson, Arizona was added to the trip, so that Hubs and I could spend some time with my Aunt, Charlotte. In 6 years, Hubs and Charlotte have spoken on the phone, but only briefly met in person once. Heh… that made me reminisce about the awkward meetings he has had with some of my family members. The first time he met my mom, and he hid around the corner of the store quivering in fear. This almost 6 foot tall man was scared of meeting my 4 foot 11 inch Mom, but I digress.
Upon departing Moab, Arches National Park, and Utah, we hopped in our rental car and headed for the Airport in Montrose, Colorado. Driving through the desert in Utah was quite fun. Would have been more so with something other than a 4 cylinder rental sedan. The speed limit was 85 MPH! Going that fast in Virginia will getcha a Reckless Driving ticket. But I digressed, again. We made the three hour journey, hopped on an aeroplane after having lunch with Hubs' step-grandmother, and jetted off to Tucson.
Charlotte ferried us from the airport to our AirBnB in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. Like good little rule followers, the three of us masked up while indoors or in a vehicle together. We arrived at our accommodations with high hopes based on the photos. Alas, the cleanliness left much to be desired. The dried, unknown yellow substances dripping down the underside of the toilet seat. The dirty dishes waiting for us in the dish washer, paired with the used coffee grounds in the coffee maker. The soap scum that was thriving in the shower. During the time of COVID, this was rather disconcerting. I may have left the above comments on a public review of the place, only to receive a less-than-pleased response by the owner. Who then tried to bribe me to change the review – he'd refund the useless cleaning fee if I gave him a positive review instead. I keep digressing!
Thankfully, Charlotte enjoys a good hike, and was courageous enough to trek up a few hills with us swift-walking nuts. Plus, being local, she knows where all the good hikes are!
Hike #1: Mt. Wrightson Super Trail
The mountains are just on this side of the border with Mexico. The circuitous route was steeper up with a meandering, slower descent (common sense tells you if you hike it backwards, it's gradual up and steep down). When we reached the saddle, we stopped for a snack. While I am used to hiking snacks consisting of protein bars and other pre-packaged items, Charlotte surprised us by pulling goodies out of her pack that one would typically see on a charcuterie board. A variety of cheeses, some delicious hot salami, crackers, and avocado made up for a classy bite! I'm going to have to up my hiking munchie game considerably after this.
The portion of the hike we completed was about 5ish miles. Once the sun began to shrink behind the mountain, it actually got a bit chilly as I found myself hunting for the sunny parts of the trail. It was a solid hike. Next time perhaps we'll venture all the way to the top!
Hike #2: Douglas Spring Trail
Bring on the desert hike! Not particularly grueling with regards to elevation, but mentally challenging as hikers have to keep a watchful eye out for rattlesnakes sunning themselves along the path. Saguaro Cacti littered the trail (duh, it's in Saguaro National Park), along with a multitude of other threatening greenery with their lethal spines protruding out of them, just waiting for a hiker's misstep off the trail. A ravine provided a respite from the sun, and again, Charlotte busted out her premium grub. The highest hill we climbed gave way to a decent view of Tucson and the neon pink resort, Tanque Verde Ranch, where my family spent New Years decades prior for our one and only family reunion ever.
We passed quite a few other hikers, to include horses. Understandable, given that part of the trail is a horse back riding route. No chilliness on this venture either! The desert winter weather meant I was sporting shorts and a tank top. Too bad we had to return to Virginia's winter weather soon after. Plus, we did not encounter a single snake, nor did anyone pierce an extremity on a cactus! But I did do a handstand next to one.
Charlotte does hiking right! Not only does she bring fantastic, fancy snacks, but as a tasty reward for partaking in any hiking pursuit, she always pops the cap off a nice, cold brew to enjoy post-hike. This will have to become a new tradition for Hubs and me. Cheers!
Evenings consisted of the three of us dining in the courtyard of my Aunt's home. Thanks, Beer Flu, for putting an end to normal, social activities. Anyway, Charlotte has gotten the Hubs and I addicted to a few particular items that we can apparently only acquire at Trader Joe's – baby avocados, Multigrain Veggie Chips, and Hot Salami. I introduced Charlotte to the wonders of "Three Buck Chuck" – Trader Joe's Charles Shaw wine that you can guess costs a whopping $3 (well, $2.99, but "Two-Buck 99 cent Chuck" just doesn't have the same ring to it). Thank you super low-cost wine production, resulting in insanely cost effective, and shockingly decent, wine! We also introduced her to cauliflower pizza crust, as we piled ingredients onto the thin, crispy health conscious crusts.
My Aunt's home, an in progress desert home, was currently being renovated with a custom master suite. She and her counterpart have a salt water pool with a great view of Tucson. Her quirky other half, George, actually built the house from the ground up (obviously, with the help of a crew as George is not exactly the construction type). The décor is just as distinctive as it's creator. I shall explain this with a description of good ole George: Tall, lanky, eccentric, somewhat reclusive musician with more knowledge bouncing around his head than Hubs and I combined. He donned a white leather slim fit suit with a bright purple shirt underneath when he attended my first mistake. He's a very unique and interesting human, and once out of his shell, he's delightful to 'conversate' with. One-of-a-kind artwork adorns the walls, to include a piece of a nude woman perched atop on a porcelain throne (commonly referred to as a toilet). No quite my cup of tea, but to each their own! My favorite part of the dwelling is s two-story library that is stocked with books from floor to ceiling. It is a book lover's wet dream!
'Twas a great end to our western escape! And we thoroughly wore my Aunt out, and gave her NEW knee a hell of a workout both days! I have a little piece of Tucson to remember the stay by… Charlotte sent me Cheri's Desert Harvest as a Christmas gift. I never would have imagined syrup, jams and marmalade made from prickly pear cacti would taste so delectable, and be so very purple.
Fingers crossed we get to jet off to our next planned excursion to the Balkans in just two short weeks…

The Trail Pledge
To take the pledge, we ask you to make the following commitments:
I pledge to respect the environment
The impact of wayward walkers on wildlife and natural features can take many years to heal. Please care for and protect New Zealand's beautiful outdoors.
- use marked tracks
- camp in designated areas
- only light small, controlled fires and only if you have a permit
- always take rubbish away with you
- use designated toilets.
I pledge to respect local culture and customs
Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Always respect sites that are culturally significant to Māori and learn local tikanga (customary values).
- never sit on a table or surface where food is prepared
- check which sites are wahi tapu (sacred)
- respect customary practice.
I pledge to respect private property
Without the generosity of farmers and other private landholders, Te Araroa wouldn't exist. Be respectful of landholders on sections of the trail crossing private land.
- stick to marked routes
- don't disturb stock
- leave gates as you find them - whether open or closed.
I pledge to respect other people
People walk Te Araroa for all kinds of reasons. Be considerate of others while on the trail and keep huts and campsites tidy.
- keep the noise down at night
- remove muddy boots before entering huts
- restock huts with firewood
- help other trail walkers if they are in need.
And remember to stay safe. Tell someone where you are going and take a personal locator beacon (PLB), be prepared for all weather and have a backup plan if conditions change.

WebGL. Начало
There are a couple things you should know before we get started. WebGL is a JavaScript API that renders 3D content to an HTML5 canvas. It does this by using two scripts that are known in the "3D world" asShaders. The two shaders are:
- The vertex shader
- The fragment shader
Now don't get too nervous when you hear these names; it's just a fancy way of saying, "position calculator" and "color chooser" respectively. The fragment shader is the easier one to understand; it simply tells WebGL what color a given point on your model should be. The vertex shader is a little more technical, but basically it converts the points in your 3D models into 2D coordinates. Because all computer monitors are flat 2D surfaces, and when you see 3D objects on your screen, they are merely an illusion of perspective.
If you want to know exactly how this calculation works, you'd need to ask a mathematician, because it uses advanced 4 x 4 matrix multiplications, which are a bit beyond the 'Essentials' tutorial. Luckily, you don't have to know how it works because WebGL will take care of most of it. So let's get started.
Очень хорошая статья для тех, кто хочет начать пользоваться WebGL.

Tomko Backstage at WWE Show
Earlier this month, Tomko was released by TNA. This week, he shows up backstage
during the Smackdown/ECW tapings.
When Tomko was first released by TNA, the speculation was that he would head on
over to Japan to work full time. It's a smart business move for Tomko to check things
out with WWE just in case it's a better deal than Japan. Tomko really enjoys working in
Japan, but if he signs with WWE, he'll obviously have to stop working there.
Then again, this could just be something where Tomko was just backstage visiting friends
while he was in Atlanta.
Al's Vault:
Take it for what it is worth, now rumors will continue to grow about Tomkos return to the WWE!
Was he visiting with friends, or visting with Vinnie-Mac. Only time can tell!

In order to understand dog parks, you need to know facts about dog parks. A dog park, as the name suggests, is a park that is created for your dogs. It is an open space where your dogs can run around freely while exercising or socializing with other dogs. It is also a place where dog owners can meet up with each other and have wonderful conversations about http://184.108.40.206 together. Therefore, it is a perfect place for you and your dogs to have some fun and enjoy the day, especially if you do not have any yard for your dog to play on. There are a lot of facts about dogs that you should know, including the advantages and disadvantages of dog parks. In this article, we are going to tell you all about them.
The Advantages
There are a lot of advantages that a dog park offers you. The advantages might sound pretty simple, but they play a very important role in the behavior of your dog. A dog park is a safe space for your dog to exercise and play with other dogs. That way, dogs can socialize with a variety of breeds, meeting all kinds of other dogs. If your dog stays at home, they will have pent-up energy and there is a chance that your dog will be more aggressive. However, if you take your dog to dog parks, your dog can let off some steam by running around the park. That way, your dog will not become as aggressive as they will be if they just stay at home.
The Disadvantages
Despite how many advantages dog parks have, they also have a few disadvantages. Most of the disadvantages that dog parks have are actually related to behavioral problems in the dogs, especially when meeting other dogs or other owners. An example of a behavioral problem that can arise is defensive aggression, where your dog feels alerted by many unfamiliar faces in the dog park. This can cause a serious problem and affect the relationship between dogs and dog owners. Another problem that can occur is learned disobedience where your dog can become disobedient because they are not controlled by a leash. However, these behavioral problems can be overcome by being careful and knowing the tricks to overcome them.
Taking your dog to dog parks is an incredible experience. You can watch your dogs play while socializing with other dog owners. Dog parks have a lot of advantages but unfortunately, they also have a few disadvantages. But do not worry because you can overcome those disadvantages if you are careful. And those are the facts about dog parks that you should know.

Tank by Erin Bevan
Annie's the girl of his boyhood dreams, and Tyler can't wait to get reacquainted with her. Only problem is, Annie's engaged. But what has Tyler more troubled than the diamond on her finger is the bruise that graces her arm. To make matters worse, Annie's abuser and intended husband is also the town's Chief of Police.
Tyler is determined to offer Annie a safe haven, but she refuses his help until her life is hanging by a thread.
What a fun story :)
While I love reading about Bikers, it was a nice change of pace to not read about a 1%-er club! These bikers are still broody and alpha-male(ish) but they are out to change the lives of abuse victims and it's great.
The characters are interesting and compelling as is the story. I look forward to more books in this series.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do you take insurance?
A: O'Brien Physical Therapy, LLC does not accept insurance. We do not hold a contract with any insurance provider, which allows us to keep our costs down and our overhead very low. Upon request, you will be issued an invoice and proof of payment that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed, but most often is consistent with the Out of Network provider rate. You may also use your HSA or Flex Spending Account for payment of physical therapy services.
Insurance can be very confusing! Please contact me if you have any additional questions about payment or use of insurance.
Q: What type of payment do you accept?
A: Payment can be made via cash, check or credit card at the time of service. HSA or Flex Plans can also be utilized for payment.
Q: Do I need a referral or order from my doctor or chiropractor?
A: Wisconsin is a "direct access state" which means that you do not need a referral or an order from your health care provider to see a Physical Therapist. This allows for more flexibility, earlier access and cost savings to you! If you are hoping to submit your claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, your insurance provider may require a referral from your provider for Physical Therapy services. In that case, you will need a referral or order from your provider prior to your initial appointment.
Q: What do you treat?
A: Jill O'Brien is an Orthopedic, Manual and Pelvic Health Physical Therapist. She treats a variety of orthopedic injuries and pain including neck, shoulder, back and hip pain as well as headaches, migraines, TMJ dysfunction and Pelvic Health concerns.
Q: What is Pelvic Health Physical Therapy?
A: Pelvic Health Physical Therapy encompasses a wide range of diagnoses and treatments. Men, women and kiddos can all benefit from Pelvic Health PT! Some of the more common diagnoses include: Urinary or fecal incontinence, urinary retention, constipation, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary or bowel frequency, nighttime/bed wetting in kiddos over the age of 5.

If you have any questions regarding the assessment or treatment for any of these concerns, please contact me and I will answer any questions or concerns that you may have!
Q: Can I schedule appointments online?
A: YES! You may do so here.
Q: What should I wear on my first visit?
A: Depending on the area being assessed and treated we may need to assess above, at and below the area. For example, if you are coming in for knee pain, we may need to look at your hip, knee and ankle — so you may be the most comfortable in a pair of loose-fitting shorts. If you are unsure, wear or bring whatever you are the most comfortable in and we will go from
Q: What is Dry Needling?
A: Dry needling is a therapeutic treatment procedure that involves use of a small, filament needle into the muscle in the area of the body which produces pain and typically contains a 'Trigger Point'. There is no injectable solution and typically the needle which is used is very thin. Usually a healthy muscle feels very little discomfort with insertion of the needle; however,
if the muscle is sensitive and shortened or has active trigger points within it, the subject may feel a sensation much like a muscle cramp — which is often referred to as a 'twitch response'. The patient may only feel the cramping sensation locally or they may feel a referral of pain or similar symptoms for which they are seeking treatment. A reproduction of their pain can be a
helpful diagnostic indicator of the cause of the patient's symptoms. Typically, positive results are apparent within 2-4 treatment sessions but can vary depending on the cause and duration of the symptoms, overall health of the patient, and experience level of the practitioner. Dry needling is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, rehabilitation from injury, and
even pain and injury prevention, with very few side effects.

Madonna – Wedding # 3?
If Hello! Magazine can be trusted, world famous Material Girl is crazy to become Mrs. Luz sometime before the end of this year.
Madge's biographer Randy Taraborrelli spilled the beans in his interview for the publication's latest issue claiming the wedding "is definitely on the table."
The pop queen has been dating Jesus since January and it is thought the pair may marry before the end of the year," Taraborrelli told Hello!. "Madonna is crazy about Jesus and has been telling close friends and family that "I could definitely see myself marrying him.'"
If the twice divorced mother of four, 51, does tie the knot with the 22 year old Brazilian model, she wants it to be a big affair – big, lavish, paparazzi full and world sensation worthy.
She knows that's what Jesus wants. She has a lot of wonderful memories of both of her weddings. She doesn't want to slip off and do it quietly. She definitely wants a big and rather fantastic affair," the source said.
Madonna met Jesus last December during the provocative photoshoot for W Magazine. The couple started dating in January 2009 though first denying the romance rumors.
According to Madonna's biographer, Madonna loves Jesus for the way he treats her, for his respect, admiration and sweetness.
Oh year, and for "scorching hot" sex, of course.
Do you think marrying her personal Jesus is a good idea for Madonna?

Anyway...on to week # 3's challenge! This week, the suggested theme is to write about a "tough woman." Looking through my tree, I can find so many women that would fit the bill. It was hard to decide on one. With all that our ancestors had to endure, living without the modern day conveniences we have today...I'm sure I couldn't do it!
This week I've choose to write about my 3rd great grandmother, Elizabeth Miles, who was widowed during the Civil War with seven young children to take care of.
Elizabeth was the first born daughter of Robert P. Miles and Palmira Jackson. She was born around Harris County, Georgia on October 5, 1834. Looking at tax and census records, we know her family lived in Georgia until at least 1843. They then moved to Tallapoosa County, Alabama.12
|Familysearch.org, John H.M. Vines and Elizabeth Miles Marriage, 2-13-1849, Alabama County Marriages, 1809-1950, Tallapoosa County, Page 419, Image 355 of 547, File No.1302444(005205830)
- Mary Ann Melvina Vines
- Nancy Elizabeth Vines (my direct ancestor)
- Lucinda Jane Vines
- Susan Margarett Vines
- Robert Javis Vines
- Matilda Estella Vines
- George Washington Vines
|Bible record found in the the possessions of Mamie Estelle Locke Holcomb, Elizabeth's granddaughter.
The family resided in Tallapoosa County until the start of the Civil War. In May of 1862, John joined Company D, of the 34th Alabama Infantry as a private. One of my most treasured possessions is a letter he wrote home to his family. The letter was dated July 11th, 1862. Just 10 days later, John died of sickness somewhere near Saltillo, Mississippi.
In the letter he tells Elizabeth if she wants to move back to her father's house, she can. Next we see Elizabeth's father listed in the Alabama State Census for the year 1866 in Fayette County, Alabama.4 The household has an extra 8 people living in the house, the same ages as Elizabeth and her 7 children. Because this census does not list individual names, we can't be positive. However, I'm pretty sure it's them, since on the 1870 Federal Census, Elizabeth and her 8 children are listed living next door to R.P. Miles, her father. The family is still in Fayette County, Alabama, and are listed as living in Township 17.5
Sometime before 1874, Elizabeth moved with her children and her sister Lucinda Miles Beckett, and Lucinda's family, to Arkansas. This is according to probate papers I have copies of.6 Arkansas is the last place we can locate Elizabeth. In 1880, she is found living in Totten, Lonoke County.7
On June 27th, 1892, we see she filed an Application for Pension for her husband John. This was signed in the county of White, in Arkansas. The pension not only lists the death date of her husband, John, but it also states that she suffers from "Nervous Prostration." Elizabeth would have been 57 years old.
|Application For Pension by Elizabeth Miles Vines, June 27, 1892. Ordered and received from Arkansas Confederate Penion Records, Arkansas History Commission, 1 Capitol Mall, 2B-215, Little Rock, AR 72201. http://www.ark-ives.com/documenting/confed_pensions/detail/default.aspx?sec=ConfPension&id=4077.
I'm not sure what happened to her after this. I do know she was probably living with her daughter Nancy Elizabeth Vines Locke when she signed the pension application. But by 1898, Nancy Elizabeth and her family moved to Texas. Elizabeth's other children: Mary Ann Melvina Vines Beckett, Robert Javis Vines, and Matilda Estella Vines Cockrell also made their way to Texas by 1900. It's unknown if Elizabeth went with them or stayed in Arkansas with her other 3 children.

Congestion campaigners in Bath have been watching a video – uploaded on Vimeo – which shows how the Swiss city of Zurich is dealing with its traffic problems.
Entitled 'Zurich: Where people are welcome and cars are not' it is an interesting take on smart city planning to make living and working in a city much more of a pleasant experience.
I do suggest both officers and councillors at B&NES sit back and take note – and then get together and show that Bath can also do something radical.

WASHINGTON — In recognition of the recent Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the World War II Nisei soldiers, the Japanese American Veterans Association is proposing to the U.S. Postal Service that a commemorative stamp series be issued for the units that received the medal.
JAVA President Gerald Yamada sent a letter outlining this proposal on Jan. 21 to Chairwoman Jean Picker Firstenberg of the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee of the USPS. He wrote, "This stamp series would be for military groups that have been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their service during World War II and would include the Nisei soldiers made up of the 100th Infantry Battalion, 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the Military Intelligence Service; Tuskegee Airmen; Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP); and the Navajo Code Talkers.
"To save on design costs, JAVA suggests that the design of the Congressional Gold Medals be used for the stamp design for each group. Each CGM design has been vetted by the U.S. Mint and accepted by each group.
"The commemorative stamps for these groups should be printed so that the stamps can be distributed with all four groups on a stamp sheet or printed individually so that stamp sheets can be ordered for each of the four groups."
In an official statement endorsing Yamada's proposal, the Japanese American WWII Veterans Stamp Campaign, co-chaired by Fusa Takahashi, Chiz Ohira, Aiko King, and Wayne Osako, said, "We fully support the commemorative stamp proposal from JAVA that is based upon honoring veterans who have earned the Congressional Gold Medal. This would be a wonderful tribute to American veterans who have clearly made their mark on history. We urge the U.S. Postal Service to continue its tradition of recognizing the contributions of our nation's veterans."
Veterans and civic organizations are encouraged to send letters supporting this approach to: Chairwoman Jean Picker Firstenberg, Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, c/o Stamp Development, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Room 3300, Washington, DC 20260-3501.
Copies of each letter should be sent to Gerald Yamada, President, Japanese American Veterans Association, 10316 Mountington Court, Vienna, VA 22182 or emailed to email@example.com.

A simplified design for small broadband RF transformers using medium µ ferrite core for receiving use. The specific application is an impedance transformer for a nominally 450Ω antenna to a 50Ω receiver input. Intended frequency range is from 0.5 to 15MHz.
The characteristic of typical medium µ ferrite mixes, particularly NiZn, are well suited to this application.
This article continues with the design discussed at BN43-2402 balun example, but using a BN43-202 with 5t primary and 15t secondary for a nominal 1:9 50:450Ω transformer (though at high ratios, the transformation is only nominal).
Lets consider a couple of simple starting points for low end and high end rolloff. Continue reading Another small broadband RF transformer using medium µ ferrite core for receiving use – 50:450Ω

Thank you Joe! I used your first image, the circled in red and highlighted settings, and I scanned at 200 dpi. I was able to get the effect I was looking for.
Oddly, if I use those settings and change to 150 dpi the resulting file size will be larger and it will have soft-edged text. So 200 dpi also seems to be required to get the effect.
Circled in red is probably the fix, Highlighted yellow is maybe.
I that doesn't work, OCR (Searchable) could be the answer, though the file size increases
Hi Mohammad,
Thanks for your response!
The machine is a WorkCentre 5890i. I also found a Product Indentifier: XVV-1 in case that's useful.
first of all can you mention what is the machine model ??
I am trying to get an effect that makes text hard-edged, almost like a black and white scan, on color scans.
I did color scans on our xerox machine a year ago at what I thought was default settings with 150 dpi. These scans had small file sizes and very hard-edged, clear text. Now I am doing the same thing and I am getting soft-edged, fuzzy text.
I have attached images to show what I am currently getting and what I am trying to achieve.
The left side is my current scan, and the right side is what I got a year ago. I want my current scans to look like the right side:
You can see that the text on the right side has a very hard edge, there are no gray pixels around the edges of the text. The text on the left side is fuzzy, soft edged, and has pixels in shades of gray around the edges of the text if you zoom in.
Essentially, the text on the right looks like it comes from a black and white scan, but clearly it was picking up the colored background. It just treated text as if it was black and white.
Here's another example from my scans last year that shows the effect I want to get for my current scans. If you look at the work "Luke" you can see that the K and E look hard-edged almost like they were re-drawn digitally, but the L and U are fuzzy edged. Similarly, on the handwritten "Finn" all of the letters have that re-drawn, or hard-edged, look except for the dot on the i does not.
I want the scanner to do this re-drawn, hard edged look where it can, as it did in the scan above. My current scans do not attempt to create hard edges on text like the one above. They leave all text soft-edged like the LU and the dot of the i.
Does anyone know what setting I can use to do a colored scan that creates hard edges on text like the images show?
Thank you for your time,
Jonathan Sanders

'Lascelles1'Index links to: Lead / Letter
Families covered: Lascelles of Escrick, Lascelles of Hinderskelfe, Lassells of Sturton
[The original 'Lascelles1' was renamed Lascelles2 to allow this page to take that title as it covers earlier generations. This family is still being investigated.]
|(1) We have seen the suggestion in a web site that the/a Lascelles family descended from Dolphin of Appletreewick. However, 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood' suggests that the following Picot possibly came from Lassele in Normandy whilst TCP (Lascelles) suggests that "From his name he is supposed to have been a Breton". TCP does note that "There were several families of this name in the North of England in the 12th and 13th centuries" thereby leaving open the possibility that there may have been different families of different roots which happened to have the same name.
(2) TCP covers only one line of this family, the first shown here, but that contradicts what is reported by 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood' and the Visitations. As we give precedence to TCP, this causes us some problems, not helped by there being some contradictions/alternatives included within the Visitations. The following should be viewed as provisional and subject to change. We italicise where we have relied wholly on 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood'.
|Picot de Lascelles (a 1066) possibly father or grandfather of ...
|Roger de Lascelles in Yorkshire & Lincolnshire
|Picot de Lascelles
|TCP reports that "There is no evidence to show the relationship of" this Picot and the Picot (d c1178) who married and had descendants as follows. However, though noting that there may have been 2 cousins of the same name, we presume to show that it was indeed this Picot who died c1178 and married ...
|m. ?? (sister or daughter of Alan, son of Roald the Constable)
|Roger de Lascelles (b c1160, d before 10.1219)
|m. Beatrice
|The following pedigree for 'the 4 heiresses' follows TCP. However:
(1) Visitation (Yorkshire) has a section which starts with Roger de Lascells, father of Picotus father of Roger (a 1213) father of both Richard of Escryck and Roger (a 1281) who married Isabella and had the 4 heiresses.
(2) Visitation (Nottinghamshire) shows Roger (dsp) & Avice (a 1252-3) as children (by Maud) of Picot (son of Picot son of Galfrey) brother of Roger, father of Picot and William of Escrick (but shows no children for that WIlliam). That last Picot is shown as father of Sir John (who by Issabell is shown as father of the 4 heiresses) and Richard of Lescrick.
As we give precedence to TCP, we are left uncertain on how to place that last Richard. TCP does not identify any issue for Roger's son Picot but follows the family of Picot's brother (probably but not definitely another Roger). We presume to partly follow Visitation (Nottinghamshire) in showing Picot as father of another Picot plus a William.
|Picot de Lascelles (a 1251)
|m. Maud (m2. Philip de la Ley)
|As reported in the note above, it is an assumption that this was the Picot who was father of ...
|William Lasscells of Escrick (a 1252, dsp?)
|Picot de Lasscells
|Sir John de Lasscells
|As reported in the note above, Visitation (Nottinghamshire) shows Sir John as father by Issabell of "the 4 heiresses".
|Richard Lasscells of Escrick
|Richard Lasscells of Escrick apparently this Richard is omitted by some sources
|Sir Raffe Lassells
|Walter Lassells
|m. Allice Fyn (dau of William Fynn of Hunnington)
|Richard Lassells
|Raffe Lassells of Sturton (a 1471)
|Visitation (Nottinghamshire) also provides an alternative ancestry for Raffe - see @1@ below.
|m. Joan Topcliff (dau of John Topcliff of Somerby)
|Sir Roger Lasscells
|Through his children, Sir Roger is identified as the Sir Roger Lascelles of Sowerby & Brackenborough for whom we suggest a possible alternative ancestry - see @2@ below.
|(Roger?) de Lascelles (d by 1245?)
|Roger de Lascelles of Fulstow (dsp by 1253)
|Avice or Amice de Lascelles (d by 1261, heir of her brother Roger)

|m. Maud Constable (dau of Sir William Constable of Flamborough)
|Sir Walter Lascelles of Escrick (a 1401)
|Visitation (Nottinghamshire) shows that Sir Walter married Agnes, dau/coheir of Sir Robert Rocliff. 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood' identifies her as Agnes, dau of Sir Richard Roecliffe. We note that Visitation (Yorskhire, 1563-4, Roclyff) shows there was a Sir William Lascelles, roughly around this time, who married a Jennet, dau of Sir Richard Roclyff, and was father of William father of William father of John. We do not have enough evidence to assume that Agnes was the same person as Jennet (and that Sir Walter was the same person as Sir William) but thought it worthwhile to draw attention to these facts.

|Visitation (Nottinghamshire) does no more than mention Sir Geffery. 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood' suggests that he married ...
|m. _ Lithgrave (dau of Sir John Lithgrave)
|Richard Lascelles of Sand Hutton & Brakenburgh
|(1) In its section on the Lascelles of Escrick, 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood' mentions this Richard but says no more on his descendants. In another section, on 'Lascelles of Sowerby and Brackenburgh', the book starts with a Sir Roger Lascelles of Sowerby and Brackenburgh who by Isabel was father of another Sir Roger (who married Margaret Norton) and 4 daughters - the same 4 heiresses mentioned by TCP (Lascelles) as being the only issue of Roger, Lord Lascelles (see above). This contradiction is the main reason why we have not obtained confidence in that book.
(2) Visitation (Yorkshire) starts its second section with the undermentioned Sir Roger (who married Margaret Norton) very closely to its first section (which ended with the 4 daughters of Lord Roger). However, the Harleian Society's report on the Visitation, upon which we rely, appears not to connect the two sections (correctly, according to TCP). It is possible that John Jones, when preparing 'The History and Antiquities of Harewood', saw a connection between the sections which led him to think that Sir Roger was brother of the above-mentioned 4 heiresses (incorrectly, according to TCP).
(3) Provisionally, we presume that it is possible that the Lascelleses of Sowerby & Brackenborough descended from the above Richard and show this here as a possible ancestry for the undermentioned Sir Roger.
|?? Lascelles presumed intermediary generation
|Sir Roger Lascelles of Sowerby & Brackenborough
|An alternative ancestry for Roger is suggested by Visitation (Nottinghamshire) - see @2@ above.

Ohio State has won its second straight Big Ten Tournament against the heavy underdog Penn State 71-60. Ohio State broke free from the tough defense and methodical pace of the Nittany Lions in the second half, scoring 42 points after the break and leaving Penn State without a viable counter punch.
Ohio State was led by three of the players that have carried the team all year, seniors Jon Diebler and William Buford had 15 and 18 points respectively, while the dependable and dominant freshman Jared Sullinger nabbed 15 points and 11 rebounds, his third straight double-double of the weekend.
Penn State's seniors had a valiant effort against the regular season Big Ten Champions, Jeff Brooks had a gutty 19 points and 6 rebounds in his 39 minutes, while tournament sensation Talor Battle led his team with 24 points and 5 rebounds while playing all 40 minutes The Nittany Lions may not have won their conference tournament, but they have probably done enough with their late push to secure themselves a long sought after NCAA tournament bid.
For Thad Matta and the Buckeyes, the victory is nothing more than what was exactly expected of them, as they March toward being a No. 1 overall seed and a likely trip deep into the tournament. With a roster that is loaded with both experienced seniors and very talented underclassmen, this Ohio State team is a serious contender for this year's National Championship.
