UFC on FX
Another great night of fights from top to bottom. I can only hope this trend continues throughout the rest of 2012.
Prior to the main event I jokingly told Steven that the integrity of this blog hinged on Miller getting a submission.
Guillard came out with some flying knees before landing a left hand that sent Miller to the ground. He was definitely rocked and I was a little nervous, but man is he tough. Miller kept his wits about him enough to try and clinch with Guillard and keep himself close so as not to leave himself exposed for more blows. When they separated Guillard continued to throw jumping knees and high kicks to the head, but Miller always kept his hands close and stayed composed.
As Guillard threw another flying knee Miller caught him and threw him to the ground. Guillard gave up his back and managed to stand up, but Miller jumped on him and Guillard was in an all too familiar situation. Miller sunk in the rear naked and Steven and I high-fived.
Josh Neer has a serious chin. Early in round one he dropped to a knee after a punch from Duane Ludwig. Like Jim Miller, Neer got in close and grabbed a body lock pushing Ludwig against the fence. Neer took some knees to the body and face but continued to push forward. Neer was starting to get picked apart on the feet, so he went in and grabbed a single and took the fight to the ground. It didn't take long before he sunk in a guillotine that put Ludiwg to sleep. Neer showed he has the ability to adapt and bring the fight where he needs to for an advantage.
The two remaining bouts after the jump…
I had never seen either Mike Easton or Jared Papazian fight before but was impressed with the full fifteen minutes of getting hit that each endured. They both met in the center of the ring, locked in a collar tie, and began pounding each other in a way that my friend Jon pointed out was reminiscent of Don Fryre's fight with Yoshihiro Takayama. Both men were active in the clinch with knee and elbows. The round ended just like it had started with both men throwing flurries.
Round two saw a lot of the same as round one. This time both men threw some spinning back kicks. Easten actually had a take down where he ended up in half guard but Papazian was only on his back for fifteen seconds or so. At the end of the round Papazian tried for his own take down but Easten stuffed it and took Papazian down.
I'd say the big story from round three is these guys having some deep gas tanks. Papazian came out with the same aggression that he did in round one. Though Easton ended up taking the decision Papazian should be pretty happy with his debut fight.
The night kicked off with Pat Barry and Christian Morecraft. A lot had been written this week about Pat Barry still having a job if he lost again (I think he would have) but we don't have to worry about that.
Morecraft caught one of Barry's kicks and put him on his back. Barry ended up on his side with Morecraft on top of him. Morecraft wrapped an arm around Barry's head and I wasn't sure Barry would be escaping. He did work his way out and slipped out the back door taking the fight back to the feet.
Barry didn't seem to be afraid to throw his signature leg kicks, which shows a new confidence in his wrestling abilities courtesy of working at Deathclutch.
Barry ended up back on the ground with Morecraft in mount, but Barry quickly turned to his back where Morecraft ended up grabbing what looked like a pretty deep armbar. Barry worked his way out of it and the fight was back on the feet. Barry unleashed a monster right hand that left Morecraft helpless on his back. Two more blows sealed the deal and now Barry seems like a new fighter.
Jon pointed out how not too long ago Barry wouldn't have survived those submission attempts and how we had witnessed evolution.

Talent, know-how, expertise and keen consideration to element. That's what makes us the transforming contractor of alternative.
A: Any further partial funds ought to be detailed within the agreement based upon completion of particular duties. Make it possible for not less than 10% to 20% of the entire job remains to be owed upon completion, and don't make the final fee until the job is completely completed to your satisfaction. Over 50 years for the reason that Oregon Trunk Railroad Depot welcomed its last passenger, we are relegated to driving or flying if we want to take a trip.
Do not forget this, if you don't remember different things, whoever holds the money controls the challenge. In case you are contractor requests money, question them to have an itemized record and still have the contractor provide the precise worth of the objects that they're requesting cash for. Are you aware that June is taken into account as the Nationwide Security Month? We have just handed that month recently. So, have you taken any security measure to be maintained all year long? If NOT, it is value having a look at this report.
Shortly thereafter in 1992, I started this company with a dream of creating (literally) the world's greatest remodeling company… and the quantity-one choice for a reworking contractor in Ithaca, NY.

I suppose you might be technically right and the two way radio is an effective factor. Nevertheless, my main point for looking into that is independence.

Good article Brie and clearly you've gotten touched a button in many individuals's lives looking for a approach out of the rising stress of each day dwelling.

Today was a long day and I was tired all day long from the moment I got out of bed. I guess it's the result of the late night I had at the Blue Jays game last night. Totally worth it
I had one of those days where nothing went as I wanted and I felt really emotional. I let my emotions get the best of me and I was feeling very frustrated and fragile when I got to the gym. One of those moods where of someone even looked at me wrong I would have burst into tears.
So I got the gym late and the warm up was already in progress. So I stretched ( much too briefly) and them joined in. We were working on our cleans. This lift I am really starting to get. But right now the squat part is not the best for my knee. But I was doing great and even got a new PR of 90lbs! Pretty awesome. It did wonders for my mood and my frustrations. I love how lifting something heavy does that for me. Then we had a great workout with lots more lifting and it kicked my butt. In such a good way.
I will leave with this clip I found online that I can totally relate with and think is so funny.

Hiss : 1292
Aetherius Society EP
Hiss : 1292 - Aetherius Society EP (12inch)
It was all unplanned : the duo even got its name after this first record got its mastering. Hiss : 1292?s Aetherius Society EP is a powerful and passionate statement. The creative frenzy of two talented producers - one from Switzerland '12?, the other one from the Parisian suburbs '92? - stuck together in a studio in Geneva, just a couple meters away from the roaring noise of a construction site. They've been putting computers out of the picture, jamming on their machines, synths and effects, and thus creating both forward-thinking and retrofuturistic pieces of techno, with that special "instant classic" feel.

You might think I am boring or I have nothing better to do in my life rather than being obsessed with iPhones and Apple products in general, but let's be honest. Hasn't Apple changed everyone's life by simplifying every aspect of our usage of a laptop or mobile phone?
Apple is the only brand, in my opinion that has got the power to make everyone use its products. We create number 1 hits with Apple products as well as the biggest movies ever made in the history of the cinema. It's the easiest and fastest system as well as the most specialized and complicated to use. Apple is probably the biggest converge ever created by the human being. Amongst the million things you can do with an Apple product, what I would call a sub-converge, we find Apple Music, the new service where artists can stream their music worldwide. It's the most updated music service ever created, probably more than Spotify.
Is Apple only about devices? What about the iTunes Festival? Apple created in London the smallest yet biggest festival where the biggest artists of the music scene play.
Can anyone find me a bigger convergence than Apple? I challenge you.

What a North and SouthBy
However upsetting the recent result at the Millennium Stadium (what you mean, which result? Take your pick and stop going on about Twickers!) I welcome expeditionary forces from the antipodes to these shores.It's good news, for instance, to find that a once mediocre hostelry has been not so much gussied up as "Kiwied" or "Ozzed". Food instantly becomes more ambitious without the gastro-posturing that has ruined many a traditional inn, and service is competent and charming if a tad informal for those among us who like to stand on ceremony. Most importantly, a glass of pub wine is suddenly worth drinking. It could be a verdant Marlborough sauvignon, fragrant Otago pinot noir, crisp Tassie chard or cockle-warming Barossa shiraz. Whatever it is, it hasn't been open for days in a dusty corner of the bar because "there's not much call for it.".
One of the recent joys of wine appreciation has been to witness the exponential evolution of regional styles in Australia, replacing the in-yer-face but remarkably consistent fruit bombs of yore that did good grub no favours. New Zealand has always played the premium card, but I still vividly recall feeble, rain-soaked reds and piercingly sharp whites in which high water tables could almost be heard gurgling in the background. Let's leave the past tense thankfully where it belongs.
But here's a thing. We may speak the same language, but regional accents are now all the rage especially in a part of the world where terroir used to play second fiddle (and last desk at that) to technique. If early invaders communicated in a serious of grunts, as, frankly, did some of our Great British food, these polished new ambassadors can be remarkably inarticulate in a different way. They could be, well, just a bit too posh. Let me explain, with a few examples.
First up, never let an elegant Otago, Martinborough or Victoria pinot noir anywhere near a rustic beef stew. It will turn up its nose and say, I didn't come all this way to break bread with a peasant, as I discovered only last week at my local bring-your-own-bottle bistro. I brung just such a wine, which, instead of chiming fortuitously with the plat du jour – boeuf bourgignon – just plain sulked. The husband observed, unattractively smugly, that Les Bleus (and, very occasionally, even the All Whites) were, when it mattered, wont to pull the hakka from under the All Blacks so this made sense. Be that as it may, Lesson One is save your posh antipodean pinot for roast beef or pheasant, prime steak, or, topically, the Christmas turkey, a fine match for Te Tera (£13.50 per bottle).Lesson Two is to get yourself deprogrammed pronto if you are primed to reach for an Aussie shiraz whenever you feel a spice attack coming on the plate. Time was, a lively, rather than gob-combustive chilli and a gutsy shiraz could be a marriage made in heaven, followed by comfortably comatose tastebuds. Nowadays, a new reserve and complexity in the wine makes you want to savour it and think about it, not to have it blown off your tastebuds by a peppery kick in the food. For me, good Aussie shiraz works better in controlled explosions, wherein gentler spices like ginger or cinnamon, fragrant herbs, sweet roots and onions gently probe the velvety texture of the wine, which opens out to receive them. The Footbolt (£11.95 per bottle) is particularly good at that.
Lesson Three dares to impugn the near-sainted status of Kiwi sauvignon blanc which should never be considered a substitute for, say, Sancerre with a serious bit of goat's milk cheese. Individually, the two are natural wonders, but together, frankly, they stink. The cheese is earthy and gamey, as it should be, the wine is gloriously clean and green and the net result is something akin to a farmyard not quite fumigated with extra-strength pine disinfectant. This is a waste of two stars. Head to the Loire or England for the cheese and reserve a benchmark Marlborough sauvignon for similarly high-octane flavours, like lemon grass and lime or the green buzz of basil and dill. My current coup de coeur is Greywacke – look out for the 2012 vintage, which will be available in the New Year.
My last Lesson – based on the law of diminishing returns – is never wish away proper, honest and true Australian chardonnay as we historically knew it for the sake of some European ideal of elegance and restraint. My best food match of the week was between just such an unashamedly rich, viscous and tropical brew and an outrageously creamy pumpkin soup perked up with star anise. The opulence of the fruit absorbed the sweetness of the pumpkin. Spicy new oak met the aniseed head on and shook hands. There was enough lemony acidity to cut through the cream too. Absolute bliss, and a nirvana moment for one who rarely wants soup with her wine, because it's just too wet. For my next glimpse of heaven, I'll turn to Leeuwin's old-school Prelude Chardonnay (£23 per bottle), and gladly pay the price.
Roll on the Six Nations and the World Cup. It's only a game. Unlike this food and wine lark, which is deadly serious, you know.
And there endeth the last Lesson.

That Martinborough Pinot Noir also works very sweetly with a seared fresh tuna steak and a piquant salsa of lemon, parsley, mint, olive oil and garlic,
What a thoughtful article. I was once served suckling pig with a smooth Pinot Noir; what a disaster! It desperately needed a red with a bit of acidity to balance the fattiness of the meat.
To my taste, Christmas Turkey and Alsace Riesling make an excellent combination too.
I returned from holiday in NZ before Christmas having done some serious tasting with three outstanding bottles. The first a 5 year old Sauvignon Blanc from Highfield Est. near Blenheim. This was rich and rounded with still the background gooseberry flavour – truly remarkable. Do try Janet please!
The second was an Otagan Pinot Noir called Devil's Staircase with a label inviting you to descend to the devil and return with all the tastes and flavours with which the wine was endowed! It was a very good Pinot Noir, rich and subtle and the title…..?
The third was a Chardonnay that tasted so much better in NZ than here. A mistake.
Thank you for your interesting article.

The final three-month field-assignment stop landed us in Virginia, just outside Maryland and less than an hour from Washington, D.C.
This state is the location of Arlington Cemetary, many battlefields and monuments, and the famous Luray Caverns. Virginia is also where Mama and Papa honeymooned 15 years ago!
For one week we stayed at the beautiful Bull Run Regional Park, and we witnessed staff erecting and testing the annual holiday lights displays. Mama and the boys frequented the large playground, and the boys took part in a nature scavenger hunt that the park ranger had arranged.
Being so close to battlefields and monuments, we took a few drives and some walks to these historic areas. We crossed over and walked under Bull Run Bridge, along the river, and down paths that led us to not only battlefields but also locations of homes that no longer remain. We found a Civil War cemetary and a location with retired cannons and Bull Run memorials and monuments.
While at the park's campground, we were also glued to the television as a historic presidential election took place, resulting in the surprising win of Donal Trump over Hillary Clinton.
At the end of that final week, we decided to stay a few more days in Virginia, while Papa enjoyed a much-needed vacation and break from working days and nights. We moved from Bull Run to Outlander's River Camp, only a few miles down the road from Luray Caverns.
And we went to the caverns too!
It had been 15 years since Mama and Papa honeymooned in Shenandoah Valley, and in 2001 they had also went to Luray Caverns. Imagine how surreal it was to now be taking the boys there!
Not only did we take the tour of the caverns, but we also completed the garden maze and the boys took on the multi-story ropes course. We browsed the Toy Town Junction and Car & Carriage museums located on the premises as well.
Papa had read about an isolated road that went into the mountains and led to an overlook of Shenandoah Valley, so we packed a lunch and drove up there one day. The boys had a blast climbing the rock formations and the view from the top was breathtaking.
Finally, it was time to head south. We plan to stop by Mama's parents on Florida's west coast to briefly visit, having been gone for so long, on the way down to Papa's parents even further south, where we'll celebrate Papa's birthday.
We're looking forward to seeing family and friends again.
But we can't say we're ready for this adventure to come to an end.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas senior first baseman/outfielder Aaron Murphree added another national honor to his resume on Tuesday as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association named him the Pro-Line Athletic National Hitter of the Week.
"Aaron had the most amazing week I have seen in 20 years of coaching," Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn said. "It seemed like every ball he hit left the ballpark. He even laid down a sacrifice bunt and stole three bases. It was truly a special performance that is worthy of every possible honor."
The Brock, Texas, native connected for eight home runs over five games with 15 RBI and three stolen bases. Murphree also slugged 1.667 for the week with a .660 on-base percentage
Murphree hit .667 (6 for 9) with seven RBI and three home runs in a doubleheader with South Dakota State on Wednesday. Against Siena over the weekend, he connected for five home runs in three games, including three on March 7 when he also drove in four runs and scored four runs.
On the season, Murphree is hitting .447 with 28 RBI and 12 home runs, which is halfway to Arkansas' single-season record of 24 set by Ryan Lundquist in 1997.
With the help of Murphree's hot bat, Arkansas (11-1) posted a perfect 5-0 record last week at Baum Stadium and moved up to No. 19 in this week's USA Today/ESPN Coaches' Poll. Murphree was also named the SEC Player of the Week and the Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week.
Riding a season-best six game win streak, Arkansas travels to top-ranked Arizona State for a two-game midweek series starting tonight at 8:30 p.m.

I awoke at 4am and looked up the trains I would be taking to work. I thought I was doing well, but I guess I lost track of time and ended up on the very last train I could take and not be late to work. I worked on my seating charts on the train and catching up on this blog. When I got to work, I was genuinely surprised at how happy everyone seemed to see me. I tried very much to emulate happiness to see them, too. It's not that I dislike any of them. I admire many of them for so many reasons, but am afraid to truly get to know any of them enough to make friends. There's nothing more damaging to a teacher's reputation than word getting out that I have a mental illness. It doesn't matter that it's (mostly) under control, schools are a very difficult place to work because you're constantly on display for the parents. Some schools have parents that care less than others. At my current school, it seems most parents have an opinion or something to complain about, so I have to be vary careful. I always make sure my clothing will not, in any way, shift to show my tattoos and take out all my piercings other than the lowest earrings. It's not like I have any facial piercings (I'm not stupid about how those will be perceived in my job), but my nipple ring often makes it look like I have three nipples on that breast and could definitely see how my middle school students might get distracted by such a thing! Anyway, I just don't feel like I should make any friends at work.
The conference day was dull, but at least I got my schedule and class lists. I got lost walking back to the train station. I made it there eventually, but it took me closer to a half hour than the 15 minutes it took me to walk there. I finally arrived home around 5pm. I made dinner and tried to get the energy to get stuff done. I did a bit more on the seating charts on my laptop and managed to copy and paste my lessons from last year to this year on the website that I do my planning on. I'll need to update it quite a bit, but at least I have somewhere to start as far as my lesson planning goes! I was in bed by 8pm.
Nature: I spent 45 minutes in nature today.
Finances: I spent $16.50 on my train tickets and $5.45 for parking today.
Relationships: I hung out with co-workers today.
Meditation: I did not meditate today.
Sleep: I slept for 7 hours last night.
Exercise: I walked for 45 minutes today.
Diet: I did not follow my diet today.
De-cluttering and cleaning: I did neither today.
Hygiene: I showered, but did not brush my teeth today.
Mood and temperament: I was in a good mood, but got tired near the end of the day. My temperament was good.

Horror Story: Journey into Indie Horror
on 02.08.2013 (server time)
I love Horror. Everyone that knows me can attest to that fact. The cheesy feeling of a Friday The 13th, the comedic tidings of Evil Dead, and the more recent mind melting Cabin in the Woods leave a feeling within my stomach that I cannot get in any other genre. Video Games are no different. My favorite games of all time include Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 2, and Fatal Frame. The experience of actually interacting with the Horror induces a horror that no movie or novel can come close to, and I truly love it. However, the genre has become tattered in more recent times. With all horror inching more toward action than genuine scares, the days of true fear, in my opinion, has become a way of the past. That is until the more recent resurgence of horror games that all started with Amnesia: The Dark Decent.
Mindless self promotion
The game that arguably initiated the horror resurgence in the gaming community, is also a testament on how to make a great interactive horror. Although the two Penumbra games, from Frictional Games, came before Amnesia, they both didn't have quite the charm or the polish that Amnesia did. Amnesia had polish, and induced a dread and foreboding that Penumbra couldn't quite achieve. Amnesia scared the crap out of me. It was something that has long not happened to me while playing a video game, without the use of cheap jump scares, and it was highly refreshing. I found myself tearing the gripping my mouse hard enough to start ripping through the plastic, as I stifled through the dark mansion corridors. More than once, had I hit the the alt-f4 shortcut, out of sheer instinct whenever something creeped into my vision. I became a nervous wreck as I jumped from box to box, trying to avoid that unseen monster in the water. It really was love. I couldn't bring myself to play, yet I couldn't stop playing. It was really a sign of a truly great horror game, and it lead to inspiration of many more indie games to come.
Within the next year and a half, indie horror games skyrocketed. New horror games where coming out left and right, and maybe because of the success of Amnesia and Minecraft, people where not afraid to put their time into making these games. Two games in a particular stood amount among the masses. One was a game that took the internet by storm. It was a game based on a popular creepypasta about a tall, skinny, man in a suit who kidnaps children. This game was named Slender. The game puts you into a role of, what people assume to be, a little girl, as she scavenges around a forest looking for mysterious frightening journal pages. After getting the first page, a thundering drum hits to signal that Slenderman is coming after you. The tension only riles up from there, as the more pages you get, the more aggressive the entity becomes. What makes this experience so frightening however, isn't the actual guy, who is poorly modeled, but is the stress it builds in the player as they make their way through the forest. As the player makes their way through the forest they are constantly looking for (or trying to avoid looking at) Slenderman, and the slight glimpses of him from behind a tree or off in the distance increase the anxiety ten-fold. The music is expertly applied and increases anxiety. Slender's constant teleportation and jump scares can even make a brave person like me come close to emptying their bowels. It really is a game that is so simple, but embodies horror, and provides a great example that a game doesn't need an elaborate plot to be good.
Another game that stood out upon the masses, was a small game called SCP Containment Breach. Unlike Slender, this game had a massive back story the came along with it that included conspiracy, a corrupted corporation, and the supernatural. The game itself, is just as simple as Slender. You play as a lab worker who shot right into an experiment with other lab workers to observe a specimen that the corporation had captured. Everything, of course, goes wrong as everyone but you is killed and the specimen has disappeared. This is where the horror starts. The game employs a mechanic, that your eyes get watery as you move and you must blink every few seconds. The problem with this is that the specimen that was released can only move when no one is looking at it. So one second you can be moving along, then the game forces you to blink the specimen can appear in front of you and break your neck. It's this sense of dread that makes this game horrifying. You never know when something will come and get you, and the randomly generated maps do not make anything easier. Some of the scariest moments in the game come, when you get trapped in a room and blink, and the specimen has appeared right in front of you, but not close enough to kill you. At this point I found myself panicking as I needed to find a way out, but of course could not take my eyes off of him. As my eye meter decreased, I couldn't help but panic. In these situations, more times that not, the game would end up forcibly closed instead of me actually dying in the game, That is how frightening it was. This was true horror.
The time we are in now, is truly the resurgence of horror games. It is a time where instead of trying to fit the next set-piece in the game
(I'm looking at you Resident Evil 6)
indie developers are looking to really scare the player. If all goes right, the big name developers will look to implore this tactic as well, and create games that are truly frightening again. With this influx of great horror games, as well as some awesome looking ones coming out soon such as Amnesia 2 and Slender: The Arrival, it really is quite an amazing time to be a Horror fan.

[March 10th] -- The Nationals continue to stretch the old axiom that spring traning games just don't matter. Their record now stands at 1-9-1, even though manager Frank Robinson is now playing his regulars more and more. Before you looking for a bridge to jump off of, don't take the record too seriously. The world champion Chicago White Sox are in last place in the American League, and the recently eviscerated Florida Marlins are in first in the National League with a stellar 9-1 record.
Jon Rauch game up a grand slam home run to Charlton Jimerton and the Astros withstood a Daryle Ward led 9th inning comeback, beating Washington 8-6.
Charlton Jimerton? C'mon, John!
There were a few good signs. Brandon Watson got another three hits, though Frank was peeved as his swinging at the first pitch in the 5th inning. At this point, I'd have to guess that the team's opening day outfield will be Ryan Church, Brandon Watson and Jose Guillen (if healthy). Matt LeCroy got another couple of hits as well.
On to other news. Shortstop Cristian Guzman will be sidelined for the next week or so with inflamation and bursitis in his shoulder. He got a cortisone injection for the pain today. Now, the Nationals have been a little like the old Soviet Union lately when providing information to the press. A "bump" is really a broken bone. A "sore wrist" is really damaged ligaments and tendons. So when the team says he'll be out " five to seven days," I just have to wonder. What, a few weeks maybe? The team doesn't seem to worried now that Royce Clayton is this year's Jamey Carroll, and this year's Cristian Guzman just might be the same as last years.

Controlling your Modem with AT Commands
- Issuing AT Commands
- Manual Dialing Commands
- Dialing a Stored Phone Number
- Answer Mode
- Issuing Commands During The Data Connection
- The Factory Profile
Getting Started with the Terminal Mode
With your modem installed, your computer powered ON, and your computer's communications software loaded in its terminal mode, you can enter commands to the modem.
Sample Hyper Terminal Mode display
If available in your communication's software, select the "terminal mode" (sometimes referred to as, "terminal emulation mode", "dumb terminal mode", "local mode", or "direct connect mode"). This mode allows you to send commands directly to the modem. Some software packages start immediately in the terminal mode as soon as you load the program.
When issued to the fax modem, AT commands direct the fax modem to dial, answer, hang up, and to perform many other communication tasks. Some of the most commonly used commands are:
AT (Attention). This is the command line prefix. (All the commands listed , except A/ and +++, must be preceded by the command AT). A Answer an incoming call D Dial the following phone number E Turn echo OFF H Hang up O Return to on-line state Z Reset the modem to the values stored in the N.V. Ram +++ Return to the Command State A/ Repeat last command (Do not precede this command with AT or follow it with <Enter>)
A Command line allows you to issue a number of commands at one time rather than issuing and waiting for the modem to react to each command separately. Here are a few rules you must follow when issuing a command line to the modem.
- 1. Every command line must begin with the letters AT, (except the commands A/ and +++)
- 2. You can group several commands on one line as long as the total line does not exceed 40 characters. Remember that "DT" and <Enter> each count as one character, (do not count spaces and the AT).
- 3. Because all spaces are ignored in the command line, you may leave spaces between each command, and between each character of every command. You can also include punctuation's in telephone numbers, and type commands in either UPPER- or lowercase. For example, the following commands are identical:
ATDT8005551234 < Enter > or
atdt (800) 876-5555 < Enter >
- 4. To cancel a dialing command in progress, press any key on the keyboard.
- 5. If you make an error, backspace to erase it, and retype the characters correctly.
- 6. To execute the command line, press the <Enter> or <Return> key on your keyboard.
If you want to repeat the last command line you entered, type the following command:
A/ (upper or lowercase A, followed by a slash)
- Note: In this case you do not need to type AT first, nor do you press <Enter> at the end of the command line. This command comes in handy when you need to redial a number that got a busy signal.
When a command is issued, the screen will usually respond with a message. This message is called a "Result Code". It tells you the result of the command you've executed; whether the command has been executed, whether you have connected to another modem, whether the modem received a busy signal, and so forth.
Result codes can be displayed by either a number representing a result code or by verbal responses for a more descriptive code. Your modem has been defaulted to show the verbal response codes. However, you can alter the result code responses in the following ways:
- 1. The Xn command instructs the modem to give you less detailed responses. The default is X4.
- 2. The V0 command instructs the modem to respond with numerical (digits) instead of verbal result codes.
- 3. The Q1 command disables generation of result codes.
- 4.The W dial string modifier instructs the modem to wait for a DIAL tone before continuing dialing.
- 5.The @ dial string modifier instructs the modem to include the NO ANSWER result code in the X4 mode.
The Terminal mode allows you to instruct the modem to dial a remote modem by issuing the D command followed by the phone number. You can also include dial string modifiers in your command line to give the modem additional instructions. The following dial modifiers are available on most modems:
- T Dial using DTMF tones
- P Pulse/rotary dial (factory default)
- , Pause
- W Wait for dial tone
- @ Wait for silence
- ! Hookflash
- ; Return to the Command Mode after dialing
- Note: Download the complete AT command manual for more information on whether the commands are supported by your model.
To command the modem to dial a remote modem from an ordinary tone dialing telephone line, enter the dialing command followed by the phone number. For example, type the following command:
ATDT 876-5555 < Enter >
- Note: For rotary/pulse dialing telephone systems you must use:
If the call is answered, you should see the message, "CONNECT", followed by the connection speed. If the other phone line is busy, you will see "NO CARRIER" or "Busy" displayed (this is dependent upon the current X setting). If the other modem does not answer, you will see the message,"NO CARRIER".
After a connection has been established, with one of the "CONNECT" messages displayed, the modem is ready to immediately begin transmitting and receiving data. This may vary from typing messages to each other, sending or receiving files, logging on to an information service, or any other data communication task you wish to perform.
If both your modem and the remote modem that you are connecting with have phones connected through the phone jacks on the modem, this mode will allow you to toggle between a voice connection and a data connection. This feature is invaluable if your trying to make adjustments to optimize your communications with the remote modem. After discussing what changes you want to make you can then release the line to the modem and switch back again if you need to discuss the further modifications.
Switching Between Voice and Data
To switch from a voice connection to a data connection, both you and the other party must have a computer with a modem. Communication software must be loaded and in the terminal mode (this may be referred as, "Dumb Terminal", "Terminal Emulation Mode", "Local Mode", "Direct Connect Mode", "On-line Manual" or something similar). Check your software communication manual if you can't locate this mode.
You can make the initial call either by dialing your telephone manually or by letting the modem dial for you. When you have completed your voice conversation and want to switch to a data connection, type the following command:ATX3D <Enter>This command instructs the modem to be the "originating modem". While you are issuing this command the other party should type the following command: ATA <Enter>This command instructs the modem to be the "answering modem". Either party may be the answering or originating modem, but, both parties can't be the originating or answering modem.
Both parties should now hang up their telephone handsets. If you don't hang up, data errors may occur. You will now hear the modems handshake and see the result code CONNECT along with the connection speed.
To switch from a data connection to a voice connection, both parties would pick up their handsets, and either use the hang-up command of the software you are using or issue the Escape sequence command (+++) followed by the ATH command as soon as the modem responds OK to the Escape command. You should now hear the other party in your telephone handset.
Using the Modem to Establish a Voice Call
To use the modem as an auto-dialer you can either use software designed for this purpose or use regular communication software with a few modifications.
Add a record to the communication software you are using. In the phone number field, enter the voice telephone number followed by a semi- colon (;) and an H. The semicolon instructs the modem to return to the command mode after dialing the number. The H command then instructs the modem to hang-up releasing the line to your telephone.
Before selecting the record to dial, pick up the telephone handset (connected to the Phone Jack of the modem). You should hear the dial tone in the handset. Select the record to dial. You should now no longer hear the dial tone in the handset. After the modem dials the number, the modem will be returned to the command mode and then hung up. You should be able to hear the phone ringing in your handset.
If you are using a communications program, use the "hang up" or "disconnect" command in the program to disconnect the call.
A method used with computers in the "dumb terminal mode" is to return to the Command State by typing an escape sequence. Typing three plus signs is the standard escape sequence,+++(refer to Issuing Commands During the Data Connection), and to hang-up then type the "hang-up" command as follows: ATH <Enter>Dialing from a Business Phone System
When you dial from a business phone, you typically must instruct the modem to dial a number for an outside line, to wait for a dial tone, and then to dial the telephone number of the remote modem. A typical command line might look like this:ATDT9,876-5555 <Enter>Here the modem dials 9 for an outside line, pauses to wait for a dial tone (the comma in the command line causes the pause), and then dials the number.
By default, the comma causes a two-second pause. However, you can create a longer or shorter pause by changing the value for register S8.
You can also create a longer pause by including several commas in a row in the command line. If there is no dial tone by the time the pause ends, the modem will go ahead and dial the number anyway, but the connection will not succeed.
A better way to dial would be to insert a W in the command line to instruct the modem to wait until it hears the dial tone (for a specific maximum amount of time). The command line would look like this:ATD9W876-5555<Enter>Here the modem dials 9 for an outside line and then waits for a dial tone (the default maximum wait time varies from modem to modem, but the range is usually 30 to 50 seconds, but you can change this value in register S7). If no dial tone is detected in the specified time, the modem hangs up.
- Note: Your office phone system must allow the use of a regular telephone (not a proprietary phone) to use your modem from your business.
Occasionally you may want the modem to dial a number and then to return to Command State to send additional commands before establishing a data connection. You will find this feature useful when dialing an electronic service such as telephone banking. You can dial the number of the bank, then after the call is answered, you can enter your access code.
To cause the modem to return to Command State after dialing, include a ; (semicolon) at the end of the command line.
For example, to dial a bank for electronic banking, you might type the following command:ATDT 876-5555; <Enter>Here, the modem tone dials the number. If the remote modem answers, you see the OK Result Code, and can enter addition commands. For example, to instruct the modem to dial your access code or account number, you could enter the second command line as follows: ATDT 12345678 <Enter>If the connection is successful, you will see the CONNECT Result Code on your screen.
Transferring a Call with a Hookflash
The ! can be used in a dialing command to create a "hookflash". During the hookflash, the modem hangs up for 1/2 second and then reconnects.
The following command line could be used to transfer a call to extension 333:ATDT!333; H <Enter>Here the modem receives the tone dialing command, issues the hookflash, and then tone dials the extension. The semicolon returns the modem to Command State so it can hang up.
Some services may answer your modems call with a prerecorded message of their own. In this case you would have to instruct the modem to wait until the message was over before proceeding with the data connection. You can do this with the @ dial modifier.
To instruct the modem to dial a number, listen for ringing, and then wait for up to fifty seconds for a 5 second silence (you can change the wait time with register S7) before proceeding you could use the following command line:ATDT876-5555@ 5678 <Enter>Here you instruct the modem to tone dial the number and then, if it hears ringing, to wait up to fifty seconds for 5 seconds of silence before dialing the remaining digits (this could be an extension number, a password, or an account number).
Your modem can dial one of up to four previously stored telephone numbers (identified as 0-3) of up to 33 digits each. This feature is useful for connecting to a frequently called remote modem without your having to dial the digits individually.
You can store the phone number in the nonvolatile RAM with the &Zn=x command. The n refers to which of the four (0-3) memory locations you want, and the x is the phone number. To store the phone number 876-5555 as the 3rd stored number, type the following command:AT&Z3 = 8765555 <Enter>Here the modem is instructed to store the telephone number as stored number #3. Once stored, the number is retained in the modems nonvolatile memory until you change it. The phone number remains stored even when power to the modem is turned OFF.
To dial a previously stored phone number you would use the s=n dial string modifier, (n refers to which of the four stored phone numbers you wish to have dialed). To dial stored phone number 3, you would type the following command:ATDs=3 <Enter>The s=n can appear anywhere in the dialing command. For example, you might want to store a special access code or password that follows the phone number. Your command line might look like this: ATDT8765555, s = 1 <Enter>In the above example you command dialing the phone number. The modem then pauses for a set length of time (the "comma" forces this pause) and then dials a previously stored access code (the result of the s=1 dial modifier).
Do not confuse the s = n dial string modifier with the S command used to read or change the value of S-Registers.
When the modem is in the data mode, Auto-Answer will answer an incoming call provided the computer is on and your software is properly loaded.
- Note: Your modem is not factory set to Auto-Answer telephone calls.
When the modem answers the call, it sends a high-pitched carrier tone to the modem on the other end, which begins the handshaking process.
After handshaking, you will see one of the CONNECT result code messages on your screen, and the data connection will begin.
Register S0 allows you to select the number of rings after which the modem will Auto-Answer. For example, to instruct the modem to answer after four rings, type the following command:ATS0=4 <Enter>Disabling Auto-Answer
If you want to disable the Auto-Answer feature (perhaps you will be away from your phone for a while), you can do so by setting register S0 to 0.) If you are using communications software, and it is programmed to Auto-Answer, it will do so regardless of the modems settings.
- Note: The modem can answer a call even if Auto-Answer is disabled. Your computer must be turned ON, your computer's software loaded, and you must be in the terminal mode. When you hear the telephone ring, type the command ATA <Enter>. The modem will answer the call.
You can use your modem, your computer and communications software to transmit (upload) and receive (download) files. These processes are handled through your communications software. See your communications software manual for more information.
Issuing Commands During the Data Connection
The modem has two operational states: Command State and Data State. When you first turn your terminal ON, or load your computer's communications software, and start giving commands to the modem, the modem is in Command State. However, once you make a connection with another modem and start passing information over the telephone lines, you are in the Data State and can no longer issue AT modem commands.
If your connection with the other computer is broken for any reason, you will automatically return to Command State so that you can issue new commands. However, you may want to return to Command State temporarily without losing your data connection (e.g. to change a communications parameter). The modem provides a special Escape Code that lets you do this.
To return to Command State during a data connection, wait for one second of inactivity, and then quickly type three pluses (+++).
After one second of inactivity, you will see OK on the screen. You have returned to the Command State and can issue commands, but you have not lost your data connection.
When you are in the Command State and want to resume the data connection, type the following command:ATO <Enter>You will see the CONNECT result code on the screen and your data connection will continue.
Setting Communications Parameters
Whenever you communicate via modem you use certain settings that establish agreements between the two modems. These settings are called communication parameters and cover such items as baud rate, parity, character length, and the number of stop bits.
When you are using a computer, communication parameters are set and changed by your communication software. In order to establish a data connection, your communication parameters must match those of the remote modem.
You may find that you can communicate perfectly without changing your software settings. This can be because your terminal or computer software program uses common default settings which may be the same as those of the remote modem. However, if you experience difficulty, you may have to change your communication parameters. The most common setting are either are 7 data bits, Even parity, and 1 stop bit (7E1) or 8 data bits, No parity, and 1 stop bit (8N1).
The factory profile is permanently stored in your modem. It cannot be changed like the stored profiles can. The factory settings may not be what the software expects, but this is a good starting point for all Initialization strings. This will ensure that the modem is set correctly without sending every command that the modem supports.
You can always return to these factory settings by issuing the following command:AT&F <Enter>You can return to the factory default settings, and then store them into the modems nonvolatile ram, (if supported in your model), for use when your modem is turned on or reset, by issuing either of the following commands: AT&F&W0 <Enter> (Stored profile #0 = factory defaults) orAT&F&W1 <Enter> (Stored profile #1 = factory defaults)Note: Refer to Everything you wanted to know about INITialization Strings, but were afraid to ask for information on INITialization strings. The Active Profile
The active profile contains the settings currently in effect. When you turn your modem on, or reset it, the modem reads its nonvolatile ram, if nonvolatile ram is supported in your model, and makes the active profile the same as one off the stored profiles. Normally, this will be stored profile #0, but exactly which stored profile is used is determined by the &Yn command. If nonvolatile ram is not supported by your model the active profile will be the same as the Factory Profile.
When you choose to store an active profile into the modems nonvolatile memory, the chosen stored profile is made the same as the current active profile.
Two stored profiles are stored in the modems nonvolatile memory. When you turn your computer and modem off, or reset the modem, you do not change or lose either stored profile. When you turn your modem on, or reset it with the Zn command, the modem reads its nonvolatile memory, and makes the active profile the same as one of the stored profiles.
The stored profile used when you turn on the modem is determined by the &Yn command. &Y or &Y0 (the factory default setting) cause stored profile #0 to be used when the modem is turned on. &Y1 causes stored profile #1 to be used when the modem is turned on.
If you want to change one of the stored profiles to match the current active profile, you would use one of the following commands:AT&W0 <Enter>(Stored profile #0 = current profile)orAT&W1 <Enter> (Stored profile #1 = current profile)Note: Not all parameters may be stored in the modems nonvolatile ram. Refer to the AT command manual for your model to determine which values may be stored. Viewing the Stored and Active Profile(s)
You may wonder "What's in my two stored profiles?" or "Just what is my active profile?". The &V command provides you with a "view" of your profiles. You must be in the "Terminal Mode" to be able to send the &V command to your modem. The &V command causes your modem to display a list of AT commands and S-Register settings currently in effect (Active Profile) and both stored profiles. Some models may also have a &V1 and &V2 command that will display other useful information.

Last week, Mike and I got together for my choice: the new entry in the Combat Commander line of games, CC: Pacific.
Now, my copy hadn't arrived yet, and when we were looking at what scenario to play, I suggested we play Scenario C. (CC:P letters the scenarios instead of numbering to avoid confusion with the other games in the series.) Scenario C had been mentioned by the developer as possibly being the best scenario design in the entire product line, but I was shooting blind in choosing it. So we gave it a go.
I'm not going to get into the actual rules of Combat Commander all that much, as I've covered them before and CC:Pacific mostly just includes changes needed to reflect the marked differences in ground combat found in the Pacific Theatre of Operations vs. Europe.
Some of the differences are that the Japanese have a Banzai posture available to them (some scenarios, such as the one we played, start in that posture while others may have it foisted on them from an event) that only allows 3 cards in your hand, but gives you the option to give Charge orders that activate every unit you have that hasn't been activated yet to move. Very human wave-ish, but the allies get to automatically activate everyone for opportunity fire. So it's a human wave everyone can shoot at. Other major rule changes involve Sighting markers that move whenever random hexes are determined – this allows Japanese units to come onto the map when revealed in those spots – gives a real feel of "where are they coming from?"
There's a lot more that's changed. Thankfully, the rules include a page that runs down nearly all the changes. Rereading the rules reminded me just how well they're written.
The scenario we chose involved the US forces attempting to fend off a wave of Japanese infantry crossing a river on Guadalcanal. The map for the scenario can be found here. All the beaches hexes above the river (as shown in that image) contain wire. So, the Japanese must spend all their MP on a turn to get into the river, and all their MP on a turn to get out of the wire. So they get slowed to an effective standstill twice. The dark green bits on the map are swamp (which blocks LOS) and the larger, lighter green bits are jungle (which also blocks LOS). I constantly thought the swamp was jungle while we were playing. Just need to get used to the new terrain. The rest of the green bits are palm trees which only cause a minor hindrance to any shots going through them.
The US are outnumbered about 2:1 to start, but have two Mgs and a howitzer available to them. As soon as the Japanese enter the river, reinforcements come on after the next time trigger, then after the Japanese get into the Palms they get reinforcements. The focus of the game is on the three objectives on the edge of the jungle facing the river.
I played the US in this one, and posted the howitzer on the middle objective, one MG just to its right, and the other on the objective closest to the beach. I tried to maximize sight lines, and was just hoping to hold out long enough. I goofed early on attempting to get radio reinforcements and managed to get a denial – this kept me from getting the radio that would come on as a reinforcement later. (Once you get an artillery denied marker, you're stuck with it.)
Mike started moving, and the swamp was blocking most shots I had for a while. Once he started moving close enough, I started opening up. I scored a few hits on units closest to the beach but wasn't having a whole lot of success. What was happening though was that my howitzer was failing its targeting rolls so badly it was hitting Time Triggers. (These are usually found on double 1s and double 6s – I kept hitting the double 1s) This was really helping me out because Mike managed to pull off a handful of Charge orders and I was really feeling pressured.
About halfway through the game, I lost the howitzer. This left the majority of my defense to the MG in the center of the map. Mike's units got fully across the river and were starting to enter the palm trees by the time we got down to the final time trigger before sudden death rolls would occur. He had units all across the line, but had focused on taking the objective furthest forward. (This was also the one I had defended the least.) He did take that, and was starting to move down to the next objective when we hit the next time trigger. Mike had initiative, but the odds were against him and the game ended at that point.
The US side starts that scenario with 23 VPs, and we ended up with me winning with 19. I'd lost five units (IIRC) and still needed three more losses before I would have lost to surrender. However, those 19 points are very tenuous, as had one other melee gone Mike's way, it would have been a 14 point swing. Much closer than the final score indicated.
I'll second John Foley's (the developer) opinion that Scenario C might be the best scenario design in the CC series. I've probably played CC a dozen or so times now, and this definitely seemed to be the best and most balanced design. Had the time triggers not come up so fast in the mid-game, I likely lose that one.
Mike felt it didn't really highlight the changes in the CC:P game, and other than the Banzai/Charge rules, he's probably right. I certainly felt pressured by the Charges, though, and was very concerned one more was coming up late. It would have made things extremely dicey on my end. I'd really love to give a scenario with sighting markers a go sometime soon. There's a whole set of rules involving caves, tunnels etc. that look like they'd be very nasty to go up against.
If you love CC, you're going to love Pacific. If you like it a bit, it might not provide enough new stuff to make you pull the trigger unless you're a bigger fan of the PTO vs. Europe. It is a standalone game, however, so you don't need any prior entries to play. If you don't like CC, well, it hasn't changed THAT much, so you probably won't like this one either.
In any case, it reaffirms to me that it's a series that belongs right a the top of what I enjoy. I'll always be eager to put that one on the table.

Jack Till is a private investigator, enjoying a second career after serving the Los Angeles Police Department for more than two decades as a homicide detective. Most of his work, as is the case for all private investigators, is gathering evidence for civil cases and other routine work.
Holly Till lives in a group home and works for a florist. Jack raised her after his wife abandoned Holly and Jack, unable to cope with a special needs child. I was impressed with the way Jack and Holly interact; it's obvious that Perry — an experienced novelist of both standalone and series thrillers — knows how to handle the special father-daughter bond.
The case is still open, another factor that Till doesn't like, but the LAPD Robbery Homicide folks are working on the obvious premise that Catherine was murdered by one of her clients. Swayed by the Hamiltons, Till takes the case and is immediately plunged into the world of online prostitution.
As Till digs deeper, he realizes that the victim is just one of several young female escorts killed in different cities in the exact same way – all had strawberry blonde hair, and all were shot with a 9mm handgun in the sanctity of their apartments. And all had as a house guest a lover who didn't pay for her favors.
Till's a quick study, honed by his experience in Robbery Homicide, and it's a good thing because he's got to find his way around the tawdry and secretive online escort business; decode ads placed by young women who all use false names, sometimes advertise using other women's pictures, and move from city to city every few months. When Till finally catches up with the killer, he finds that the man he's after is far more dangerous and volatile than he ever could have imagined. As the body count rises, Till must risk his life to find this seductive and ruthless killer whose murderous spree masks a far deadlier agenda.
In less than 300 pages, Perry has crafted a story that would make an excellent film in the right hands. I'd like to see it directed by a director who hasn't worked for a while, namely Martin Brest ("Midnight Run" and "Meet Joe Black") as well as "Beverly Hills Cop." Brest is only 61; why he hasn't turned out a bunch of movies is a mystery to me.
Perry's prose is perfect. "The Boyfriend" is a model for thriller writers and one that should reinforce the reputation of the author of "The Butcher's Boy" and "The Informant." If you haven't read anything by Thomas Perry, you're in for a delightful surprise.
About the Author
Thomas Perry, noted for his sophisticated and humorous suspense novels, has written 21 novels, many national bestsellers, including The Butcher's Boy, which won the Best First Novel Edgar award, and the celebrated Jane Whitefield series. His website: http://www.thomasperryauthor.com.

Well, here we are, and the first Sunday of 2010 is already behind us! How crazy is that! Here are some thoughts about our service today.
First, I want to say thanks to Donna A and Brian K. They came this week and cleaned the church. Thanks, also, go to Ray E for helping out in the nursery this morning. And of course, a huge thank you to Sandy H, who commuted all the way from Los Angeles, California, to play the piano for us this morning! Well, okay, she didn't come just to play the piano, but we appreciate her willingness to help us out today.
Speaking of Sandy playing piano, this was necessitated by the fact that Nicole stayed home today with Rebekah, who was vomiting overnight. For those who are interested, she has been feeling generally better this afternoon, but she is still not 100%. Please pray that Nicole, Drew and I don't get the same bug!
With Nicole missing in action, Adoration was unable to lead worship for the first time since April. I must admit that I missed them! I look forward to seeing them back in action this coming Sunday.
This morning, we concluded the series that I had titled "Advent of Hope" with a message about how Jesus dealt with the loss of his relative, friend, and forerunner, John the Baptist. As I said this morning, John's death affected Jesus profoundly, and He wanted nothing more than to be alone. Yet He rallied the strength to minister when the crowd showed up in the region of Bethsaida, and 5,000 men, plus women and children, were fed as a result. The lessons which we took from this account culminated in the realization that, even when we've suffered loss, God can and will still use us to make an impact on the people around us. And if we will let Him use us and whatever little we have left in our time of loss, He will make sure to re-fill us to the point where we are not only satisfied, but overflowing. You can check out the full sermon outline and notes at http://www.debraheightswesleyan.org/cgi-bin/molded4/template.cgi?m=sermons&s=5.
If you were paying attention to that link, you may have noticed the domain name. This week, we are officially launching a new church website. There are still a few areas of content that aren't up yet, but it will be in the next few days. I would encourage you to check out the new site and let us know what you think. We've tried to assemble a number of different resources, including sermon notes, news, upcoming events, and a photo gallery. You'll also find a growing collection of resources about relevant subjects. And you'll find it all at http://www.debraheightswesleyan.org.
As we stand at the outset of 2010, I want to take a moment to thank you for a tremendous 2009. It is truly a wonderful blessing to be able to serve Debra Heights Wesleyan, and I want you to know that God has amazing plans for us in the new year. Go and make a difference because Jesus made a difference in you!

Solar Panels: Confronting a New Target for Theft
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On June 22, 2009 · 1 Comment · In Conrad Wilson, Crime, Energy, KRCC News, RMCR
Solar panels are expensive and increasingly in demand, and many communities are learning of their solar array's value the hard way. In one Colorado town, thousands of dollars in panels recently disappeared from the roof of the Carbondale community rec center. KDNK's Conrad Wilson reports for Rocky Mountain Community Radio on this new type of crime.
