I know that the pendulum swings back and forth over homework. I myself have thought about it many different ways over the years. Our superintendent made a big deal about homework at his welcome message this year, but not in the way you would think. He wanted to encourage us to not make a big deal about homework. There are some kids who just can't do homework every night - through no fault of their own. He encouraged us to give these kids the opportunity to do homework at school without any penalties.
I liked what he said - it isn't fair to penalize kids for choices their parents are making. I have worked hard this year to only give kids the most important homework, and create time in class for the kids who didn't do it at home.
After a couple of months of this I have some findings to report.
It turns out that giving students the opportunity to do their homework at school doesn't matter. The kids who aren't doing their homework at home are not taking the opportunity to do their homework at school either (at least in my class).
I do have a few thoughts about why this is true...
1. The kids who are unable to do their homework at home are the same ones that struggle in school. By the time they get to fourth grade they are used to not being successful. They just don't know how to succeed on a very fundamental level.
2. The kids have not learned how to execute a task on their own yet. Kids who do their homework at home started with parents heavily involved in the process. Over the years the parents gradually stepped away and the kids took over. By fourth grade many students are able to sit down and do their homework on their own. The students who have never done homework at home didn't have the modeling and help that the other students did. Now they aren't sure where to start.
3. For whatever reason - too tired, too hungry, too distracted - these kids have a hard time paying attention in class. If they aren't paying attention in class they don't really know what is going on. Since homework is based on what we are practicing during class, they don't know what to do on their homework. Since they don't know what to do they get stuck.
So, those are my ideas about the homework situation. But is homework really important? Well, I have some thoughts on that too.
Homework for the sake of homework is not important. However, when used as a tool to give students more time to practice and think, is vitally important.
In every class I have ever taught there is a direct correlation (almost to the letter grade) between how much homework in completed and a student's final grade in a class. The more homework you complete and turn in, the more likely you will get an A.
Notice I said there was a correlation. I don't think it is a cause and effect relationship. Homework is easier for kids who understand the material so they are more likely to do it.
That being said, getting kids to do their homework every night is going to increase their understanding of the material.
So, what do we do as teachers to use the relationship between homework and understanding to increase student achievement?
I have no idea. I have tried many different systems throughout the years to make homework as accessible as possible. Now I even stay on Edmodo all evening so that my students can ask me questions and get answers back in real time. Unfortunately, I get lots of questions from my high achievers and none from my students who struggle.
I also keep the classroom open for an extra hour two days a week and have offered to keep kids even more than that. Again, my high achievers love it and come all the time. Struggling students... not so much.
What have you tried that has worked well for struggling students? I really, really want to know!

What is the Tinusaur project about?
Here we will explain it to you step-by-step.
With the growing interest in our project and kits, we decided to plan for and launch another Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign – next week.
The goals:
The link for the campaign will be http://igg.me/at/tinusaur.
Some of our team members will be at the FOSDEM in Brussels on the 4th and the 5th next week – will be glad to meet anyone interested in what we're doing.
This is quick update for September and October.
The presentation at Maker Faire in New York (http://makerfaire.com/new-york-2014/) on Sept. 21st went very well – 80% full of the small auditorium. The Faire itself was terrific.
On October 15, as part of the European CodeWeek (http://codeweek.eu/) the Tinusaur Project was presented to the students and teachers at one of the schools in Gorna Oryahovitsa, Bulgaria – PGEE "M. V. Lomonosov".
On October 25, at HOW.CAMP (http://how.camp/) 4 of the prizes were Tinusaur Starters kits.
What's coming up …
— Video tutorial: "How to assemble the Tinusaur Board". We need some more time to process the video-materials we shot.

I was pleased to see that the sun held up for the long weekend – even if today it's slightly damper outside. I'm sure that won't have much of an impact on Scunthorpe United under 21s as we play Sunderland this evening.
Universal Credits will start rolling out in our area from October which is already causing some concern for local residents getting in touch with my office. I understand that from October only new claims will be processed as Universal Credits.
One particular area of concern for me is how Housing Benefit will change as part of the transition and I have concerns for renters and landlords. My staff will be attending a training day this week to see how we can best support people through the transition period.
It was GCSE result day on Thursday which saw parents and pupils alike interpreting the new 1 – 9 grades and the old A* - U. Under the new system the best grade to be awarded is a 9 with a C grade being around a 4 or a 5. I did see someone on my Facebook suggest next time we change the grades we use Emojis but I think that's a long way off for now!!
64% of pupils across North Lincolnshire achieved Grade 4 pass in both English and maths, with 40% achieving the higher Grade 5 in both subjects. Congratulations to all the pupils who did receive their results and we should also pay tribute to the teachers and parents for the crucial role they played in these achievements.
Looking ahead to my debate in Parliament next week I was very interested to hear from the Sixth Form College Association that the cuts made to 16-19 funding in 2011, 2013 and 2014 have proved particularly damaging. For example, the average Sixth Form College lost 17% of its funding before inflation – a figure that masks the plight of some institutions that lost a third of their funding between 2011 and 2016.
Education funding has long been one of my areas of focus but I am keen to hear from you on what you think my priorities should be as we start this new Parliament. Any suggestions you have are welcome so that together we can make a difference locally. Please do share any views you have with me via my website: http://www.nicdakin.com/have_your_say

Happiness is… the MAD Academy!
This week I have decided to write about an academy I am a part of within Santa Barbara High School, called the MAD Academy. MAD stands for Multi Media Arts and Design, where students are given the opportunity to learn skills such as how to use photoshop/illustrator, social media, photography, and film over the course of their four years in high school. I decided to join the MAD Academy because I wanted to find something I would be passionate about in high school, and I hoped to become a more "tech-savvy" girl (I'm still not that great with computers).
This last week the sophomore class had the pleasure of going on a retreat together for team building and some fun! We went to the Montecito Sequoia Lodge in King's Canyon where we were surrounded by the beautiful scenery of snowy slopes and giant pine trees, and I was instantly overwhelmed with happiness! The snow days consisted of: ultimate snowball fights, sledding, attempted cross country skiing, snow hikes, jacuzzi time, and some fun card games! Being on that retreat away from technology and stress from school work, we all were brought closer together as we were reminded what the MAD Academy is all about! On this retreat we all realized that the MAD Academy is truly like a family!
Another amazing experience I have had was back in January when the MAD Academy went on a service trip to Tijauana, Mexico. This is an annual trip that the MAD Academy goes on and it was my first year attending! In Tijauna, us MAD students got the privelege of helping build homes for families in need. Over a span of five days, we set up camp, and were split into about seven groups each assigned a worksite for three days to build the families' homes.
During the three working days, we were able to connect with the families we built the homes for. What was most astonishing to me, was how happy the children were even though they did not have some necessities that we take for granted everyday. To see the start to finish product was amazing, and what made me thankful and happy was the smile on the family's faces when we gave them the key to their new home. This experience was enlightening, and the feeling of giving back and making a difference in someone's life was indescribable.
It makes me happy to feel that I am capable of making a difference even when I am only a high school student.

This debate will consider an outcome of a battle between Thor Odinson of the Marvel Comics mainstream and Ultron of Earth-616 (Marvel Comics mainstream). The resolution is "Ultron would defeat Thor in a battle". I thank Pro for this challenge.
RI. Number of Ultrons
The resolution concerns Ultron vs. Thor, in SINGULAR. It is not specified that Thor is facing more than one Ultron. It will take Ultron time to make more models of himself, and the resolution concerns ONE Thor against ONE Ultron, as it is specified as singular.
RII. Metal
First, Ultron is *not* made of vibranium, but of adamantium. [1] In Avengers #66, Thor is able to successfully dent major portions of adamantium with a *single* strike from his warhammer Mjolnir. [2] Therefore, Mjolnir is able to dent and damage adamantium.
CI. Powers
CIA. Mjolnir
"[Thor] can throw Mjolnir at several times the speed of light and also swing Mjolnir at several times the speed of light while his strength was reduced in half. It has been established that the speed of Thor's hammer transcends both time and space." [3]
By general relativity, if anything travels faster than the speed of light, it can effectively slow down time itself. [4] "[Thor] has the ability to use Mjolnir to travel through time. By spinning Mjolnir faster than light, Thor can open a portal to the fourth dimension of time to travel to the past and the future. By swinging Mjolnir in a precise manner, Thor can circumvent time by creating a time warp around certain areas." [3]
If Thor can circumvent and control time, then he can effectively *slow* Ultron's movements in time while attacking with equal speed. The force of Mjolnir at many times the speed of light will always call tachyon particles by definition of tachyon. [5] In the Marvel Multiverse, tachyons, when summoned, create a "tachyonic field" to strengthen anything to be stronger than vibranium or adamantium, as seen in the case of the Silver Samurai's Muramasa blade. "[Harada is] able to generate a tachyon energy field from within his body. Though he can focus this energy through anything, he typically focuses this field through his sword; allowing it to cut through almost any substance." [6] Therefore, when Mjolnir, which can already dent adamantium, has a tachyonic field around it, it can easily damage adamantium.
The chronokinetic powers of Mjolnir will effectively restrain Ultron from attacking Thor while damaging the adamantium of Ultron.
CIB. Thor-Force
Thor's life-force, the Thor-Force, allows him to generate massive projections of energy from Mjolnir. [3] These include energy such as the anti-force, which is propelled into the God-blast, which was powerful enough to defeat Galactus, one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Multiverse. [7] A single God-Blast generates enough energy to effectively destroy small planets. [3] Ergo, it can easily penetrate the adamantium of Ultron's exoskeleton, and even manage to defeat *many* Ultrons.
CII. Power Grid Ration
Intelligence: 3
Strength: 7
Speed: 7
Durability: 7
Energy Projection: 6
Fighting Skills: 5
Total: 35/42
Intelligence: 4
Strength: 6
Speed: 3
Durability: 7
Energy Projection: 6
Fighting Skills: 4
Total: 30/42
On balance, Thor is 11.90% more powerful than Ultron comparing with the power grid (5-point difference).
1. Thor's powers are greater than Ultron.
2. Thor is 11.9% more powerful than Ultron.
The resolution is resoundingly negated.

[7] Thor Special, #1 (1999).
In Avengers 2, Ultron steals vibranium which allows his main bot to grow bigger and be made more durable. Captain threw his shield but Ultron just went back a bit as if it was an over sized cricket ball.
If Thor would have been able to go as fast as the speed of light, then Quicksilver would have been no problem for him. Although he was grounded by his hammer, it was only that Quicksilver tried to hold it that brought him back in normal time. Otherwise the throw had already missed.
Even if it would be 1 Ultron vs 1 Thor, Ultron would win. This is based on the movie version.
Plus Ultron can escape if things go wrong, for only Vision was able to shut him out of the internet.
Pro and I discussed in a PM this topic, and we *both* decided to retain the Earth-616 mainstream Marvel comics version of the characters. But Pro is arguing based on the MCU version, which is *not* Earth-616. Therefore, these arguments are invalid.
RI. Quicksilver
Quicksilver is *not* with Ultron in this scenario, as it is Ultron vs. Thor with no interference.
CI. Earth 616 vs. MCU
Pro is arguing for an MCU version, which has no particular statistic that allows for the comparison of the characters. As seen in my Clarification, we are arguing for the Earth-616 variation ONLY. These arguments and contentions are invalid.
CII. Unrefuted Arguments
None of my arguments have been refuted by Pro in any manner whatsoever. I extend all my arguments. I have refuted all of Pro's contentions.
Thor's chronokinesis and God-blast alone can destroy Ultron, and this debate is about the Earth-616 variation only. I have refuted all of Pro's arguments, but Pro has not even attempted to refute mine. The resolution is negated. Vote Con.

Reasons for voting decision: I will vote on this as Con requested me to. There was a large confusion as to whether follow the movie variation or the comic variation. But Con's clarification *clearly* mentioned Earth 616, and Pro did not specify it in any manner. Con was the first to specify that they would be following the Earth-616 variation, so I will go by it. Con effectively demonstrated how Thor's powers could slow down time itself and Mjolnir, with the additional force of a tachyonic field, could seriously damage the adamantium "exoskeleton" of Ultron. Furthermore, Con showed how, by the statistics, Thor was 11.9% more powerful than Ultron and could defeat him. Pro's arguments lacked clarity and were not backed up by any sources. Therefore, sources and arguments, together 5 points, to Con.

Inspection Methods of PCBA Board +MORE
In this article, leading inspection methods will be discussed with their advantages and disadvantages involved, which leads OEMs or EMS supplier to pick up the most suitable inspection method based on considerations of cost and product requirement.
Visual inspection can be implemented in each step in the process of PCBA. However, equipment selection applied in visual inspection lies in positions that need to be inspected. For example, after solder paste printing and component placement, inspectors can effectively inspect large defects just with their eyes. They are capable of inspecting contaminated solder paste and missing components in less than one minute and micrometer ocular and difference Z high-degree detector can be applied for sampling inspection to inspect quality of solder paste deposition. Focusing on edge of copper pad, Z high-degree detector is adjusted to zero and then focus is set to be at the top surface of solder paste deposition so that height of solder paste deposition can be measured. The most popular visual inspection is capable of accurately inspecting reflow solder joints through observing light ray of solder joint surface reflected by ordinary prism from different perspectives. According to the size of solder joints, required amplification coefficient ranges from four-time center distance (≥1.25mm) to fifteen-time fine pitch (≤0.5mm). This inspection method is carried out based on established visual quality standard such as Mil-Std-2000A and ANSI/J-Std-001 to compare attributes of solder joints. Generally speaking, with this method applied, five solder joints can be inspected each second. Validity of visual inspection depends on inspectors' capability, consistency of standards followed and applicability of quality of visual inspection. Inspectors must master technological requirement of each type of solder joint because each type of solder joint possibly carries 8 kinds of different fault standards and each type of PCB features more than 6 kinds of solder joints according to different component assembly. As a result, visual inspection is impractical for quantitative measurement to support effective procedure control. Moreover, this method doesn't work on hidden solder joints inspection such as J lead components with high-density package, extra-fine square flat pack, surface array flip chip and solder joints on BGA. Through common and clear rules establishment, visual inspection is capable of providing technology that is easily implemented and this type of technology works really well on procedure development evaluation and large surface defect inspection.
Applying multiple light sources, programmable LED library and multiple cameras, AOI system picks up images of solder joints through its irradiation from different perspectives. Leads and solder joints are like reflecting mirror in reflecting light while PCB and SMT components reflect little light. Reflecting light from solder joints fails to provide practical height data. However, image and intensity of reflecting light provide information on curvature of solder joints whose analysis can be applied to determine whether solder joints are complete or not and solder sufficient or wetting disqualified. Furthermore, AOI system is also capable of effectively inspecting solder bridge and loss or skew of components before or after soldering. Inspection rate of these systems is 30 to 50 joints per second and they feature a relatively low price that is 150 thousand to 250 thousand dollars per device. Nonetheless, AOI system fails to inspect parameters of some solder joints such as height of solder joint behind leads, solder amount within a joint, which makes capability of structure procedure control prohibited. Moreover, these systems fail to inspect hidden solder joints such as solder joints of BGA, PGA and J-type lead components that, however, are quite crucial to soldering reliability. AOI system does best in inspecting chips and gull wing shaped components whose pitch is more than 0.5mm.
First Article Inspection
Prior to volume production and assembly, PCB manufacturers and assemblers generally implement first article inspection in order to check whether SMT equipment has been correctly prepared so that vacuum nozzles or alignment issues can be avoided in the volume production, which is called first article inspection.
Ordinarily, PCB houses with high-quality service tend to assemble some pieces of PCBs in an expedited way. Then, pictures of the first few pieces will be captured or they are directly delivered to customers so that they can be tested in the practical run. In this way, quality of volume production can be smoothly carried out without any concern.
AOI performs excellently on component pins inspection. However, inspection for pin-less components, BGA for example, has to depend on Automated X-ray Inspection (AXI). As a matter of fact, AXI isn't the unique inspection method for such circumstance but computed-tomography (CT) scanning, specially angled optics microscope and endoscopes all can do. But AXI is absolutely the most efficient and effective inspection method.
AXI is capable of testing misalignment, missing balls and solder deposition. It observes issues through capturing pictures. Different from AOI relying on optical lightness, AXI takes advantage of X-ray to penetrate into solid things to capture their pictures. Therefore, AXI plays an important role in PCB assembly test and inspection. A sample picture taken by AXI is illustrated below.

What is the LG OLED55B7?
LG is no longer the only OLED vendor in town. It's facing increased competition from Panasonic and Sony, who've both rejoined the OLED TV fray this year. So to maintain its dominance, the South Korean manufacturer hopes to offer the largest number of OLED television models around – it has five series this year.
The OLED55B7 is the 55-inch model within the LG B7 series, which also contains a 65-incher. The B7 – alongside the equally priced C7 sold exclusively at Currys PC World in the UK – is the most affordable OLED range within the 2017 lineup. The 55B7's price tag of £2999/$3500 means it's cheaper than any 2017 OLEDs from other makes, and recently prices have tumbled to as low as £1699.
That's a massive bargain and a key reason for it winning the 2017 Trusted Reviews award for TV of the Year.

LG OLED55B7 – Design and Build
Over the years, the no-backlight-required characteristic of OLED has lent itself to some truly exquisite styling, and this applies to the LG 55B7 for the most part. The panel is strikingly thin – you won't see as lean a design from LED LCDs, which have to be made up of a back or edge lighting unit, liquid crystal array, colour filters, light guide plates and a host of other components.
The black bezel is suitably slim, and the OLED screen is surrounded by a brushed metallic silver trim which extends to the back. The bottom half of the rear protrudes by necessity to house the TV's brains, connection ports and speakers.
To heighten the picture immersion, LG's design team has taken the bold decision to remove any logos from the screen. Instead, "LG OLED" is emblazoned on the left edge of the OLED55B7's stand. It's a crescent stand, shaped like a curved Toblerone, though I'm reliably informed the composition is entirely metal with no hint of chocolate. It could be my assembly skills, but my review unit tilted forward ever so slightly, regardless of how hard I tightened the screws. You may have better luck.
The remote control that's bundled with the LG 55B7 isn't too different from last year's. It's an easy-to-hold oval wand with the company's intuitive Wii-like mouse pointer. It works beautifully with the onboard WebOS 3.5 Smart TV platform. New for 2017, there are dedicated Netflix and Amazon buttons.

LG OLED55B7 – Setup
I've reviewed and tuned hundreds of TVs, so I usually have little patience for first-use help screens, but LG's Bean Bird animation always puts a smile on my face.
The setup prompts are sensibly laid out yet fun, and completing each step brings a soaring sense of satisfaction thanks to Mr Bean Bird's assistance.
If you choose Home rather than Shop mode on one of the last steps, you'll invariably end up in Eco mode, the default picture preset on any 2016 and 2017 LG OLED. This looks far too blue, and has too much damaging picture processing going on. If you're a video enthusiast who values colour fidelity, head straight to the Cinema preset, which looks far more natural.
Viewers who are not used to accurate video colours will likely find Cinema mode to be too yellow, initially. As a compromise, try the Standard mode, but with Sharpness toned down to reduce grain and fizziness, not to mention TruMotion disabled to clear up motion hiccups.
The ISF Expert modes provide the most number of picture-affecting controls to align the TV's contrast and colours as close as possible to industry standards. Excessive adjustments in these expert menus can paradoxically introduce artefacts and degrade the picture.
LG OLED55B7 – Features
In my opinion, OLED is the most advanced panel-illumination method available on consumer-grade televisions today. Samsung's iteration of 'QLED TV' this year is still based on edge-lit LED LCD technology. You can read more about that in our guide, What is QLED?
The benefits of being able to switch on and off every one of the 4K panel's eight-million-plus pixels, independently of each other, are numerous. You not only get absolute blacks, but such inky blacks can be rendered without being contaminated or washed out by neighbouring bright elements. LG has also implemented a 'Neutral Black' polariser on all its 2017 OLEDs, which aims to maintain true blacks in ambient light conditions. The 2016 LG OLED TVs tend to exhibit a magenta tint in darker areas when light hits the screen.
The self-emissive nature of OLED also delivers extremely wide viewing angles that don't really suffer from any significant drop-off in contrast and saturation, making it better than LED LCDs for use in a large room with different choices of seating positions.
Compared with other TV brands, LG's 2017 TVs provide the widest support of different HDR formats, namely HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), Dolby Vision and Technicolor's Advanced HDR. The first three are supported straight out of the box, whereas Technicolor HDR will be added following a firmware update later this year.
A quick rundown on these HDR formats: HDR10 is the open standard used in current Ultra HD Blu-rays and Netflix 4K/ Amazon Video streaming; HLG is on course to be the de facto broadcast HDR standard in the UK and Europe; Dolby Vision is a proprietary HDR system that uses dynamic metadata for scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame optimisation; and last but not least, Technicolor is still a (relatively) fledgling format in terms of consumer recognition and content availability.
Four HDMI 2.0b ports with HDCP 2.2 compliance are provided, allowing owners to hook up the equivalent number of HDR-capable devices such as 4K Blu-ray players or PS4 Pro/Xbox One S game consoles. None of the 2017 OLEDs from any brand supports 3D, and the LG OLED55B7 is no exception.

LG OLED55B7 – Performance
Last year's LG OLED TVs already ruled the roost when it came to SDR (standard dynamic range) image quality, yet somehow the company has still managed to find ways to improve on them. The LG OLED55B7 used the same chipset and OLED panel as the company's Signature W7 OLED. All of LG's 2017 OLEDs should deliver essentially identical picture quality.
One of the most significant improvements comes in the area of above-black handling. Traditionally, OLED TVs have always struggled with striking a good balance between impossibly rich blacks and clean, visible shadow detail, since there's electronically a big jump between OLED's 'off' stage and very dark grey.
The B7 is the best effort yet from LG in this regard, depicting low-light detail with noticeably less noise and pixelation than last year's models. There's little to no improvement in near-black uniformity, with thin vertical banding visible on very dark grey test patterns in a pitch-black room, but it didn't bother me in real-life viewing.
Things look better too at the other end of the contrast-ratio spectrum. The maximum peak brightness on full-screen white hasn't been raised, but what LG engineers have done is to tweak the Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL) algorithm on the B7 to be less aggressive than before.
ABL is a circuitry that dims the screen as the average picture level gets higher. It's designed for optimal management of power, brightness and longevity. With reduced ABL, bright scenes will appear brighter on the 2017 LG OLEDs, contributing to the perception of higher contrast.

Backed by true blacks, which act as an ideal canvas, colours pop with stunning vibrancy and realism on the LG B7. Flesh tones in very dark scenes can look a little ruddy, though.
The OLED55B7 doesn't handle interlaced content (for example 1080i 50Hz from Sky+HD box or Freeview) very well. When I watched the most recent El Clasico match, where Lionel Messi proved once again he's the best ever, the TV was misinterpreting slower passages of play, and wrongly applying film deinterlacing, which led to stuttering and tearing artefacts even with TruMotion switched off. The easiest cure for this is to send a progressive video signal to the OLED55B7. It's an excuse – if you ever need one – to upgrade to Sky Q which can output 2160p.
The HDR10 presentation of the LG 55B7 is better than last year's B6, but perfection remains elusive. Peak brightness measured 750 nits on a 10% windowed pattern in the TV's most accurate HDR preset, representing roughly a 100-nit increase over 2016 sets. The 1000-nit figure quoted by LG only applies to very small window sizes in the overly-blue HDR Vivid mode.
The LG OLED55B7 is a gamer's dream TV. Input lag comes in at 21ms in Game mode, for both 1080p SDR and 4K HDR resolutions. PC gamers can also obtain this ultra-quick level of gaming responsiveness with full 4:4:4 chroma reproduction, with the right combination of presets/ settings.
Some people – perhaps burnt by plasmas or CRTs – are understandably worried about image retention or screenburn after prolonged gaming sessions. From my experience this is generally a non-issue on LG OLEDs, as long as you let the TV go into standby (rather than switching off from the mains) for the programmed uniformity compensation cycle to run periodically.
For such a thin display, the LG OLED55B7 pumps out very decent sound for run-of-the-mill viewing, with intelligible speech clarity and reasonable dynamic range being particular highlights. Note that the onboard Dolby Atmos decoder only works on Dolby Digital Plus and not Dolby True HD tracks found on most Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.
Should I Buy The LG OLED55B7?
If you're considering buying a 2017 OLED television, the LG OLED55B7 should be on your shortlist. While I haven't tested them in depth, the Panasonic EZ952/ EZ1002 should provide better calibration controls, though they lack Dolby Vision support.
The Sony A1, meanwhile, features superior motion processing and smoother gradation but a clunkier Android TV platform.
Casting my eyes further afield, LED LCD televisions with higher peak brightness – such as the Samsung QE65Q9F and Sony KD-55XE9305 – will deliver a more impactful HDR performance especially in bright scenes, but do suffer from haloing/blooming artefacts when displaying bright objects against a dark background.

Improving upon LG's already outstanding 2016 OLEDs, the OLED55B7 is one of the best TVs you can buy this year.

Recycling at Events
If you are organising an event of any size,
whether it's a music festival, sports match or street party we
can help you get people recycling and reducing waste!
Public events often create a huge amount of
waste so planning in advance how you will manage this
waste is a good idea. Most events produce similar types of
waste materials such as paper, cardboard, drinks cans, plastic
bottles and food packaging. All these items are valuable resources
that can be collected for recycling and reprocessed into useful
Encouraging people to recycle at events not
only helps to save valuable natural resources and energy but it
also reduces the cost of sending waste to landfill. It can
also improve visitor's perception of your event. Promoting
recycling and managing waste responsibly will portray a positive
environmental image to visitors and event supporters.
We can provide advice to enable
organisers of events of any size to reduce the amount of waste
produced, implement recycling facilities and encourage visitors to
recycle their waste.
For help and advice on events recycling please
contact Bedford Borough Council's Recycling Team at email@example.com.
Here you will find information on environmental and planning
issues. This section provides a wealth of information including
details on how to make or enquire about a planning application,
rubbish, waste and recycling information.

Motorcyclist killed in truck wreck
A Trenton man was killed Saturday afternoon when he collided with a pickup that had made a U-turn in front of his motorcycle, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
Robert J. Carrier, 59, died, an FHP news release stated.
The accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. on State Road 26 about one mile west of Trenton. Carrier was driving a 2003 Harley-Davidson west of SR 26 when Jackie R. Barron, 60, of Trenton, made a U-turn in front of him in a 2002 Ford pickup, the report stated.
Carrier steered to the right to avoid the pickup but was too close and struck it on the right front with the left front of his motorcycle. Carrier fell off his motorcycle and ended up in the ditch, FHP stated. He was taken to Shands at the University of Florida and later died.
Barron was not injured. Charges are pending the outcome of the investigation, the report stated.

Car break-in leads to gun charges
An Alachua man was arrested Friday afternoon on charges of gun theft, car burglary and others in connection with a car break-in, the Alachua County Sheriff's Office reported.
Matthew Andrew Criss, 20, of 7506 N.W. 202nd St., was charged, the report stated.
Sometime between Sept. 17 and Thursday, the car of Steve Coleman was broken into. Taken were a Glock 26 handgun and holster and a black wallet that contained a Florida Highway Patrol identification, possibly for a retired trooper, and a Levy County Sheriff's Office badge, according to the report.
A witness told ASO he had observed Criss in possession of a "black cop gun" and that Criss had discarded the wallet with the badge next to Coleman's driveway. The witness said Criss sold the gun to another person, the report noted.
A juvenile who bought the gun told authorities he paid Criss $50 for the weapon and holster, identifying Criss by name and picture.
The wallet was found in a search of Coleman's house.
The Sun could not learn Saturday if Coleman is employed by the Levy County Sheriff's Office or is retired from FHP.
Criss was charged with unarmed car burglary, grand theft of less than $5,000, grand theft of a firearm, dealing stolen property and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.

FAMU president defers his bonus
TALLAHASSEE — Florida A&M University President James Ammons says he's deferring an $80,000 performance bonus due to tough economic times.
Ammons told the school's board of trustees that he wouldn't take the money until some point in the future.
The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper reported the panel voted Thursday to award Ammons the lowest possible amount for his annual bonus — 25 percent of his $325,000 annual salary — due to potential budget cuts.
The bonus and Ammons' gesture, though, drew criticism from a union leader.
United Faculty of Florida chapter president Elizabeth Davenport called it a "hollow thing to do" because the board appears unwilling to consider a faculty pay raise.

Man skydives for his 96th birthday
DeLAND — A central Florida man marked his 96th birthday by jumping out of a plane.
Donald Sugg jumped out of a single-engine plane this week in DeLand, and he did it for a good cause. He wore a custom-made jumpsuit advertising the Alzheimer's Association, which he was helping raise money for.
The Orlando Sentinel reports it wasn't Sugg's first jump.
He first went skydiving about 13 years ago, and has gone at least once a year since.
Sugg signed a medical waiver before the jump, but said he's in good health.
Outside of arthritis, he said he's "a young man."

4-vehicle crash kills 2 in Pasco
LAND O'LAKES — Two people were killed in a four-vehicle crash in Pasco County.
The Florida Highway Patrol reports that Friday morning's collision shut down a stretch of State Route 52 north of Land O'Lakes for several hours. Authorities didn't immediately identify any of the people involved in the crash.

Daytona school's concert criticized
DAYTONA BEACH — Some trustees of Daytona State College say they were kept in the dark about $1.26 million in school money that was used to help pay for Usher, the Jonas Brothers and other singers to come to Daytona Beach for a recent concert.
The trustees say college president Kent Sharples should have gotten their approval before he fronted the money to a community arts group that put on the concert. Many of the trustees didn't know about the expenditure until they were contacted this week by a reporter for Daytona Beach News-Journal.
The Daytona Beach college expected to be repaid quickly, and has already been reimbursed more than $1 million.
School officials say helping the arts group put on the American Music Festival over Labor Day weekend is consistent with the school's mission of supporting the arts and creating economic development.

Mail worker finds suspicious device
OCALA — A U.S. postal worker delivering mail made a startling discovery Saturday when she found a suspicious device inside a mailbox.
Ocala police say the mail carrier contacted a supervisor, who in turn called officers.
Responding to Saddle Creek, a subdivision located in Fore Ranch off State Road 200, officials say the device had exploded but did not damage the mailbox.
The device was described as a bottle that had a type of liquid inside.
Ocala Fire Rescue, along with the Marion County Fire Rescue Hazmat team, went to the scene.
The Sheriff's Office bomb squad also assisted in the investigation.
Police have classified the investigation as a criminal investigation.

Toddler Yin and yang
Life is all about balance…yin and yang…burpees then peanut butter cups (isn't that really the point of a burpee?)
Lately, Lil C has been quite the Threenager. And for those not acquainted to the term (lucky you), it is a three year old going on..I don't know…15 years old. He is all sass and attitude these days. My loveable little boy is still in there somewhere, but often my little smooch is buried beneath quite the independent little attitude. Lately, anytime he is asked to do something he doesn't want to do (eat his meal, pick up his toys, go pee), he literally looks at us and sighs. HE SIGHS! All we are missing here is an eye roll!
He has also told me, on several occasions, "Well Mom, it is not my problem, it is your problem." Oh yes buddy, it is most definitely your problem. And it is going to become an even bigger problem with that attitude. And then, today, he told the Hubs "Well, Dad, you need to just go to bed" when he was asked to start eating his dinner (for like the fiftieth time).
And, lest I forget, he has started locking himself in the bathroom when he is asked to do something he really doesn't want to do (like nap). That is the true gem.
On the other hand, Lil L (graduated from Baby L) is sliding right into the vacant position of golden child. Sure, she still has her rough days, but at 15 months, she is really coming into her own. She will now follow commands (well, when she wants to) and she is eating and sleeping like a champ.
Tonight, when it was time for her to go to bed, I asked her to grab her monkey and bear (her bedtime companions) and come over to me. She immediately stopped what she was doing, grabbed the two stuffies and came right over. She gave hugs and kisses to the Hubs and I and went to her crib without as much as a peep.
Now, she isn't completely sass-free because that sass is in her bones…but she is maturing into a very teachable toddler.
Welcome to our yin and yang.

Only two known Children
- Henry BREWSTER b: 1536 in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England
- William BREWSTER b: 1535 OR 1545 in Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England
From http://our-royal-titled-noble-and-commoner-ancestors.com/p412.htm#i12364
b. 1510, Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, England , died after 11 Oct 1558, England (named in brother's will)
Disputed Parents of Maude Mann
There is only one primary source that identifies Maude's maiden name as Mann and that is the will of Christopher Mann dated 1584 published by John G Hunt in NEHGR Volume 124 p 253 in 1970.[1] This was a follow-up article to his previously published treatment of this family published in 1965 in TAG Volume 41 p 1-5[2] In 2014 the General Society of Mayflower Descendants published the latest research on Elder William Brewster and they called these two articles the current state of research on this topic.[3] In his will dated 11 Oct 1558, proved Jan 13 1558, Christopher Mann names his wife Alice and his children Avery, John, John and Christian Ioys. (Note he lists two sons named John). He names his siblings William, Annis, Isabel and Maude Brewster. He named William Watson but does not state his relationship to him. Of the women named he does not name spouses and only two of them have married names: his daughter Christian Iolys and his sister Maude Brewster above. The three Witnesses are familiar to us: William Bruister (sic) John Simkinson and Thomas Simkinson (John Simkinson being the first husband of Mary Smythe, the mother of the Mayflower passenger).[2] Nowhere in this document do the names of a father John Mann or grandfather Baseling Mann appear. There is no primary source naming a John Mann or Baseling Mann in Scrooby. They appear to be pure fantasy. John G Hunt has been so determined for so many decades to try to stretch this family back as far in time as possible that if there was even a hint that there was a John Mann anywhere in the area he would have published it by now. He's not a person who backs away from controversy and he doesn't mind offering speculation.
Moreover, there is no evidence aside from geography that these families are related in anyway to the Cornwall family. That is wild conjecture without any evidence whatsoever. Therefore I am removing Unknown Cornwall as mother of Maude.
Nor is there evidence that her sister Isabel married William Watson. William Watson was named in the will of her brother Christopher but that doesn't imply he married his sister Isabel specifically.
This is the family of a very important historical character and it should be as accurate as possible. A whole list of children and parents are getting copied to GENI, Wikitree, Familysearch, Ancestry and Werelate, etc. and there is no evidence to support their existence. We should raise the bar. If we include a name or a profile in the family tree of the only college educated Mayflower Passenger then we had better pony up a solid source to back up that name or profile.
Maude Mann was the sister of Chistopher Mann, William Mann, Annis Mann and Isabel Mann.[1] As stated above this was a followup article to his previous article published in 1965 in TAG Volume 41 p 1-5 and there is no evidence that her father was named John Mann. She married at an unknown place by about 1534 to William Brewster of Doncaster. Doncaster is seven miles North of Scrooby. That date is based on the approximate birth date of her child. Her husband William Brewster first appears in 1524 when he was taxed in Bently cum Arksey, Yorkshire, England. William Brewster is next taxed Doncaster, England.[1] It is in Doncaster where we find him as witness to a will although that might have been his son of the same name. We find no evidence of him in Scrooby. Nothing is known about the birth or death dates of Maude Mann and William Brewster of Doncaster. Nor do we know who their parents were. We do know Maude was living when she was named in her brother's will dated 11 OCT 1558. A William Brewster was witness to the same instrument on 13 Jan 1558 but it isn't clear if this was William Brewster of Doncaster or his son William Brewster of Scrooby. John G Hunt believes it was the son.
The children of William Brewster of Doncaster and his wife Maude Mann were published by John G Hunt in NEHGR Volume 124 p 253 in 1970.[1] Only two children are listed:
- William Brewster of Scrooby b ?1535 d 1590; witnessed the will of his uncle Christopher Man on 13 Jan 1558 with Thomas and John Simkinson of Doncaster. He was named in the will of Bartholomew Bryan of Scrooby dated 6 May 1564 as William Brewster "dwelling in Scrooby."[1][4] He married first Mary Smythe daughter William Smythe of Stainforth parish in Hatfield. She was sister of John Smythe of Hull and widow of John Simkinson of Doncaster. She was the mother of Elder William Brewster of the Mayflower. He married second to Prudence and had James, Prudence and John.[1][2]
- Henry Brewster b ?1537 d ?1600, vicar at Sutton on Lound, Nottinghamshire, England from 1565-1594. His wife Agnes was buried 15 Mar 1597/8 at Sutton on Loud. He had no known children.[1][5]
John G Hunt lists no sons named James Brewster or Benjamin Brewster. In 2014 the General Society of Mayflower Descendants published the latest research on Elder William Brewster and they called these two articles the current state of research on this topic.[3] They did presumably have a grandson named James Brewster.[5][1] Although it has not been decisively proven that this grandson James is identical to the man of the same name who was vicar.[3] However, the evidence is fairly strong that he was.
The will of Maude's brother Christopher is not only helpful in determining her maiden name it also helps us elucidate the identity of the mother of William Brewster the Mayflower passenger, Mary Smythe. Christopher's will was witnessed by John Symkinson who was the first husband of Mary Smythe, the mother of Thomas Sinkinson of Hull by her first husband and the mother of William Brewster the Mayflower passenger by her second husband William Brewster of Scrooby.[2] In 1609 William Brewster of the Mayflower while living in Leiden gave power of attorney to his half-brother Thomas Simkinson of Hull to receive money that Anne Pecke had left in England. Ann Peck and her brother Robert Pecke were ward's of William Brewster. They have been identified as the children of William Brewster's half-sister Prudence Brewster and her husband Robert Pecke of Everton.[2] These two records link William Brewster of Leiden to his grandfather William Brewster of Doncaster just seven miles North of Scrooby. The will of Thomas Symkinson Alderman of Doncaster dated 29 Jan 1558 proved 2 May 1560 names John Simkinson and his two children Dorothy and Thomas Simkinson as well as Thomas Smythe, John Smythe of Hull, William Smythe and Alice widow of Chirstopher Mann among others.[1][6] The will of John Smythe of Hull dated 8 Aug 1592 proved the following October made it evident that Elder William Brewster and the younger Thomas Smythe of Hull were maternal half-brothers when he named "my nephews" William Brewster, John Smythe and Thomas Simkinson executors of his estate.[1]
The Will of Christopher Mann
Taken from Footnote 5 of NEHGR Volume 124 p 253 in 1970:[1]
"Will of Christopher Mann, dated 11 Oct. 1558, Proved Jan 13. following (York P&E court, vol 15, pt 3, fo. 186) : "my bodie to be buried within the church or courtyard of St. James in Scrowbie... to my daughter Christian ioys [?wys] 3/6/8... to Wm. Watson xl s... to Isabel my sister 6/8... to my sister Maude Bruister 6/8... to my brother Wm. Man 6/8... Alice my wife... Avery and John and John my children [!]." Witnesses: Mr. Thomas Simkinson, Willam Bruister [!] and John Simkinson."

One of my clients wrote me and asked about a low market investing scheme that he cooked up – essentially a wholesale flip business. I wrote him back and asked: How vividly interested are you in this pursuit? Scale of 1-10 with 10 being "flipping the shittiest houses in Atlanta is my only hope of economic survival" and 0 is "this is a fool's game." He wrote back: "I've decided to wait until I can move a little more upmarket, so to answer your question, I give it a 2 - it has a decent beat, but I really can't dance to it."

Whittaker Creek Ridge Trail is a 3.1 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Walton, Oregon that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, trail running, and birding and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

trail running
old growth
Easy hike amongst old growth trees to a ridge overlooking Siuslaw River. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, swimming, hiking, and camping at Whittaker Creek. The site offers family camping in a wooded riverside location with a hiking trail that provides access to an old growth stand of Douglas Fir high above the campground. The Old Growth Ridge Trail was designated in 1994 as a National Recreation Trail due to the exceptional wildlife, geologic features, and old growth trees that are typical of coast range ecosystems. Chinook and coho salmon, as well as steelhead trout can be observed in the fall and winter months in the creek next to the campground. The site also features a paved boat ramp that provides drift boat and canoe access to the Siuslaw River.
The trail is also called "Old Growth Ridge Trail", it is what the sign says. The first portion is called "Armantrout Loop" to commemorate the local biologist (there is a memorial) who was instrumental in recovery of endangered species. The trail is well-labeled with many benches built by Boy Scouts of America on the way. Three stars because: 1) at the time of hiking the place was intermittently overgrown, esp. in the beginning; 2) no good viewpoints, even the summit is a tree with a trail around, and broken bench. If you happen to camp at Whittaker, of course it is worth hiking but not as an independent goal.
Pretty nice
Beautiful display of death and rebirth in nature.
Nice short moderate hike. It's mostly uphill with a bench at the end, but no real viewpoint. The forest was beautiful and full of fall colors.
Hiked on 9/9/17 with my dogs. The gate was closed, but it was possible to park along the road and walk in to the trail.
This hike is definitely not "easy", I would rate it as "moderate" ( Even William Sullivan...Oregon hiking guru rates this hike as moderate...). I hike often and found it to be steep and definitely broke a sweat! There is not a view at the top. That being said, it was just me and my dogs on the trail the entire time. the solitude was nice, with the exception that you could hear traffic and families hanging out at the river nearby at times.
The Armantrout loop is much more gradual incline than the old growth ridge summit trail. So depending on if you like a steep climb or descent, take that into consideration. Either trail could easily be made into an out and back hike rather than a loop if you prefer one option over the other.
Watch for downed trees and crumbling sections of trail. It's not bad, but it can catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention. there is a river access trail too (unfortunately people have not been kind to nature on these sections...lots of trash strewn about).
Overall a good hike. I probably won't be back but it's a good workout if your in the area. The old growth forest is beautiful.
This was my first time going to this trail. I have arthritis and have to be careful when hiking. I'm also not in the best shape. That being said, a combination of using a walking stick and my dog helping me, allowed me to do the whole trail alright. It's a bit steep in some parts, so wear good shoes and a walking stick would be helpful for those who struggle with steepness. The loop is only 3 miles (a bit more of you go to the summit, about .7 miles more) so it's not too bad. Very beautiful in an old growth forest. There are also some swimming holes at the base. Note that the trail can also be quite narrow in some areas.
Great hike through old growth. No real view at the top but lots of sneak views. It is pretty steep going up but not too bad if you are in ok shape. The dogs loved it!
A nice hike with a decent ascent to the top. Doing the entire loop seemed a bit longer than the listed 3.1 miles and it took about an hour and a half to complete at a leisurely pace. A little surprised it's not rated as moderate due to the climb but if you're in decent shape it shouldn't be a problem.
There were several great informational plaques along the way to let you know what we were looking at and there were also a few logs and large branches to maneuver around but overall the trail was in good shape for February. Only saw one other group of hikers despite it being a Saturday afternoon with picture perfect weather.
I'll rate this as a 5 star for what it is, a fairly easy hike. The view on the summit was lacking because it was basically a peak with little room for any view. But it was the top and it felt good making it there. The trails were clearly marked and maintained, even after this last ice storm. I saw some large salmon in the creek that flows into the Siuslaw, that was pretty awesome. I spotted a crane or heron flying out of that same creek. The bird songs near the top really added some great atmosphere. It was worth the time and effort and would gladly go again.
Great Hike. No real view from the top but beautiful woodland scenery.
Nice BLM trail. Can see salmon spawning in Whittaker Creek certain times of year. Trail goes through some riparian areas and climbs up quickly through some old growth. Not a great view at the summit, but nice hike.
Very nice.

With 19 films entered into the Animated Feature race at this year's Oscars, there can be up to five nominees. However, the same scoring method that saw Best Song reduced to just two nominees two years ago, could limit this playing field as well.
Per Rule 7: To reap an Oscar bid, an animated film must first pass muster with the screening committee.
As part of the ongoing process to expand the number of members who take part in the process, only half of this committee will be drawn from the 400 members of the Animated branch. This also avoids the bloc voting that has besieged the Annie Awards.
Gone is the requirement that a committee member must attend at least 80% of the special Sunday screenings at the Academy's Beverly Hills HQ. Rather, screeners will be allowed and voting will be done via mail rather than in person.
To take part, a member must watch at least two-thirds of the contenders — i.e., 13 of this year's 19 entries — and then assign a score to each between 10 (excellent), 8 (good), 7 (fair) and 6 (poor).
Only those films that receive an average score of at least 7.5 are even eligible for nomination. That threshold has been the stumbling block for Best Song in the past. Which, if any of the 19 animated feature entries, is likely to overcome this hurdle?
Pixar has dominated this category since it was created in 2001, winning seven times out of nine nominations, including last year with "Brave." Indeed, only one Pixar film has ever failed to earn a nomination in the race: "Cars 2" in 2011.
This year, Pixar has "Monsters University," a prequel to the studio's 2001 hit "Monsters Inc.," which lost the inaugural Animated Feature Oscar to "Shrek."
To prevail, "Monsters U" — which is currently in third place in our predictions — will have to overtake 2002 champ Hayao Miyazaki ("Spirited Away") who contends with his final film "The Wind Rises." The famed Japanese animator was nominated in 2005 for "Howl's Moving Castle," but lost to "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit." However, there was no Pixar picture in the running in either of those years.
Longtime Pixar partner Walt Disney Pictures has a pair of its own films also eligible in this year's race: "Planes" — which is currently ranked 10th — and the upcoming "Frozen," which is co-directed by previous nominee Chris Buck ("Surf's Up") and currently sits in second place. The animation pioneer has never won this race with a non-Pixar film, though last year it seemed to have its best chance with "Wreck-It Ralph."
The blockbuster "Despicable Me 2" is in fourth place. The first installment was snubbed in 2010 but the sequel has far out-earned the original; it's currently the highest grossing animated film of the year and the fifth highest grossing of all-time at the domestic box office.
Director Chris Sanders earned a bid in 2010 for "How to Train Your Dragon" and returns with "The Croods," which currently just makes the cut in fifth place.
Gone from our original list are: "Escape From Planet Earth," "Pinnochio," "The Snow Queen," and "Walking with Dinosaurs 3D."
Additions are five longshots: "The Fake," "O Apóstolo," "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie – Rebellion," "Rio: 2096: A Story of Love and Fury" and "The Smurfs 2."
Review the contenders below and make your predictions using our easy drag-and-drop menu.

Living in the West side of Jakarta makes me happy. It takes only 8 minutes by walking to reach a popular coffee shop in the city - Koultoura. Founded by the member of Axio Photography, this well known cafe recently become the talk of the town for a years ago. Offering a lot selection of western food and beverage, this typical coffee joint would never make you bored.
Well decorated and good looking. The whole area has fused by wooden furniture and colorful wallpaper. It seems to be classic and rustic, but in a good way.
Potato Wedges
I visit this area mostly on the afternoon, and a simple light bites like Potato Wedges always be my right decision. The potato skin on the outside absolutely crunchy and crispy. Technically, they has cooked it really well. Then once you bite it, you can feel a sufficient amount of salt and pepper has been added into this food just to make it more tasty and delicious. In terms of flavour and texture, it is pretty satisfying.
Bulldog Burger
A simple western burger filled by sunny side up, juicy patty and fresh vegetables absolutely a good deal. I can feel the bun is soft and moist, while the other ingridients has created the whole flavour of it. Not really special but it is worth to try.
Dark Chocolate & Cake Crumbs Darling
I am quite picky when it comes with dessert. But who can resist a dark chocolate donut? To be honest, this one is yummy. The donut is thick, airy and soft. Meanwhile, the dark chocolate layer is a great part of this. Not too sweet, but it is smooth and intense to be match with the donut. You should try this at least once in a lifetime.
Ice Latte
A sufficient amount of caffeine is available right here. You can order a cup of latte with nice art on top of it or the chilled one. It is pretty strong in terms of flavour and acidity level actually. People who are not really suitable with their coffee, could order the green tea latte or even some juice.
I never find this place lack of customer. They have a good baristas, well prepared dishes and nice services. Whenever you have some free time, you could spent it here. Just enjoy a cup of your favourite beverage along with the desserts, and you will be happy like me.

Harvin�s kickoff return for a touchdown Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers highlighted a historic day for the rookie, who was questionable to play after missing two days of practice last week while dealing with severe migraines.
MINNEAPOLIS � Sidney Rice stood next to wide receivers coach George Stewart on the sideline as Percy Harvin waited to return a kickoff in the third quarter. Harvin was supposed to be on the field for the first play of the ensuing series unless he broke a long return and needed to catch his breath.
�I said, �You know what, he�s about to return this one (for a touchdown), Coach,�� Rice said.
Rice proved prophetic. Harvin returned the kickoff 101 yards, giving the Vikings a spark after they fell behind in a 27-24 victory Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers at the Metrodome.
Harvin�s return highlighted a historic day for the rookie, who was questionable to play after missing two days of practice last week while dealing with severe migraines. Harvin declined to discuss his history with migraines but said the team�s medical staff and coach Brad Childress gave him clearance to play Sunday morning.
�They gave me the go-ahead, and I was able to help the team,� he said.
Asked if was concerned about Harvin�s migraines, Childress said: �I guess I don�t know him well enough to really tell you much. You�ll probably have to consult somebody else on that. All I know is he was back with a bright look in his eye and ready to go today.�
He certainly showed no ill effects on his game-changing return. It came after the 49ers quieted the Metrodome by scoring on a blocked field goal and taking a 17-13 lead. Harvin put a charge into the place by blazing a path down the middle of the field for a touchdown.
Harvin, a standout at the University of Florida, started the return outside but made a quick cut back to the middle and easily won the footrace. It tied for the second-longest kickoff return in team history.
�I told the blockers that if I can get a seam and I can get to the next level, I pretty much believe in my speed and believe that no one is going to catch me,� Harvin said.
Said Rice: �He caught the ball, made his move and got to the second level. Once he gets there you know there is no catching him.�
Harvin came close to breaking a few kickoff returns the first two weeks, but he just missed. He said he stumbled a bit as he made his cut Sunday, but he kept his balance and scored his third touchdown of the season.
�The stuff he does doesn�t surprise me,� running back Adrian Peterson said. �I feel I have a good ability to recognize talent and guys that are unique, and he�s unique, as you can see.�
Harvin became the first player in team history to score a touchdown in the first three games of his career. He also has the most kickoff return yards (358) after three games in team history.
�Just the combination of his speed, his strength and just his athletic ability, all that makes you a deadly returner,� Peterson said.
Harvin also has become a favorite target of quarterback Brett Favre. Harvin caught four passes for 51 yards and was Favre�s target nine times, including twice on third down on the final drive.
�He�s pretty electric when he gets the ball in his hands,� Favre said. �He is just one of those guys that you�ve got to find a way to get the ball in his hands.�

As I look through the window I see the damp and dreary place that is my garden.
The chrysanthemum that has been flowering for months has lost its flowers and leaves and the storm that was raging last night has made it topple over. As did the Christmas tree that I want to try to keep for next Christmas.
The orange dish I used for the birds is filled with water and a bit of bread crumbs. The back looks like a wasteland of dirt and some pretty persistent weeds.
Next summer that part will hopefully be a veggie patch with berry bushes, strawberry, lettuce, potatoes, onions, bell-peppers, tomatoes and whatever you want.
The place is looking nothing like the bird haven that it was just a couple of days ago. The ground was covered in a light, white dust of snow that just about covered the grass. There were so many birds, fighting for the food I put out. When the bread dish was empty, a brave blackbird knocked on the window. Making it pretty clear he was hungry and wanted food. The magpies were stealing sunflower seeds from the great tits and the blue tits. The starlings were fighting each other trying to get hold of the suet balls. Why I have no idea, because there were more than enough for all of them. We had bush tits, great tits, house sparrows, robins, blue tits, a great spotted woodpecker, thrushes, blackbirds, starlings, doves, magpies, herons, Eurasian jays and even a nightingale.
I loved seeing all the birds in the garden. And while I'm looking out into that dreary place that is now my garden I push myself a little closer to the central heating. For just a moment I let the thing warm me. And just as I want to turn around to go and write this post a robin flies up to the window bird feeder. He looks right at me, his little head tilted a bit as if he wants to tell me he's still here and he still needs the food I put out…

Two days after officially announcing that Lee Ebden was to become chairman, Burnham FC have back-tracked saying the football consultant and former Market Drayton manager would not be taking over the role.
On Monday the club ran a story on its website welcoming new chairman Ebden and manager Alan Paris to the club in a move which was to be seen as a fresh start for the cash-strapped Bucks side.
However, any references to Ebden on the website, and on twitter, have now been deleted.
The club aired the unexpected news on twitter yesterday.
The tweet read: "Burnham FC would like to correct the stories on social media that Lee Ebden is new chairman of club. Lee Ebden has been advising the club in the last couple of weeks and will not be chairman of BFC."
The embarrassing about-face caught out many, even former chairman Gary Reeves, who is still connected with the club, who had tweeted: "Well done Lee, congrats. See you soon."
Earlier in the week, club president Malcolm Higton confirmed Ebden's appointment which came amid rumours of a club takeover.
He said: "I can't really (give you any information about a possible takeover).
"It's a new guy (Ebden) who's coming in as chairman and he's been talking about it. It's his fantasy but once again it's about what is best for the club.
"He's been down to the club and has talked to everyone about it.
"And he's done it before apparently when he was managing a club in the midlands."
The newly-appointed Paris remains as manager of Burnham, who are bottom of the Hellenic League Premier Division.
They are away to Wantage Town on Saturday.

"Fiskars Unzipped" Kanzashi (Japanese Fabric flowers)
Added Feb 16, 2011

Milton Keynes, U...
Step 19
Now the choice is yours...again limited by your imagination.
I've chosen to add a crocodile clip- I got my in a small bulk amount from an Etsy or Ebay seller (I forget which) for a good price. I glued from the middle of the clip - meaning opening and closing it won;t damage the flower, as your fingers have room to get at the end of it.
You can also try a brooch clip (if you don't have one, sewing on a safety pin will work - but you may want to sew it to the circle of fabric before sticking it down, as glue is tough to sew through!), or a key ring, or a different kind of hair slide, an alice band - or forget mounting it, as use it as an embellishment straight onto a garment...be aware of washing out the starch though!

I pulled a sickie from uni today – I know, Bad Amy! – but instead of reading all day, which lets be honest is like the best thing about having a day off, I mostly slept and watched Supernatural – I'm like up to the middle of season 2, (shits already getting crazy which is bonkers cause I know this show has like 62946 seasons. I can't wait!!). I did however manage to read the first half of Crown of Midnight. I am absolutely loving rereading this book. There is so much stuff that happens that I'd forgotten!! I honestly don't know if I like Crown of Midnight more then Throne of Glass but all the Celeane & Chaol is making me so, so happy!!!!

What You'll Get
Jump to: Reviews
Slip a pair of rose-tinted glasses on your brain and whisk worries to a time-out corner with today's grapey Groupon. For $29, you'll get a tasting for two people ($30 value) and bottle of 2007 Carneros Pinot Noir ($32 value) from Cuvaison Estate Wines, whose modern, green-certified South Napa tasting room was praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its "stunning, panoramic views".
Don't be deceived by the estate's sprawling 400 acres – Cuvaison prides itself on personal pours and slower-paced service. You'll steal away to your choice of the vineyard's two tasting rooms, the new Carneros room in South Napa Valley or the original Calistoga room in North Napa Valley. Carneros is a solar-powered tasting room in a modern reclaimed-redwood building. Perch on recycled aluminum seating and soak up sunshine and fresh breezes from expansive retractable windows while sipping sustainable selections. The historic Calistoga room has shaded picnic grounds and an inviting tasting bar. Afterward, you'll take home a bottle of 2007 Carneros Pinot Noir, an indulgent quaff teeming with toasty tannins. If your wine lust waned, the pinot noir makes an ideal holiday gift for an oenophile uncle.
Drinking wine can help you reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, and the progression of certain disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. It's also a slower swallow than other libations, so a single glass could provide hours of glee. Get this Groupon for an eco-friendly outing, romantic day trip, or palate pleasure.
The San Francisco Chronicle reviewed Cuvaison's new Carneros Tasting Room:
- If you're short on time, think about coming back on a more leisurely day. All tastings are seated, so you sit either indoors or outdoors and the wines are brought one at a time. It makes the process longer, but nets you individual attention. Our host gave a brief history of each wine and pointed out where the grapes were grown - in one case, the Pinot vines were a few feet away... Throughout the visit, we never felt rushed or pressured, and on our way out, we snagged a bonus taste of their 2006 Espiritu dessert wine. – Janny Hu, San Francisco Chronicle
Yelpers give Cuvaison Estate Wines 4.5 stars, and one Tripadvisor gives it four owl eyes:
- This was my favourite [sic] winery that I visited while in the Napa Valley area. They were friendly & open, very knowledgeable and really enthusiastic (though not overly so). – sssnr, Tripadvisor

Every time I try to open a program, I get a "Security Error" warning telling me the "Application cnanot be executed. The file ****.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?"
When I click on ANY browser, it gives me an "Internet Explorer Warning" and tells me that my computer is infected and that I need to purchase antivirus software. It denies me internet access. Once in awhile, porn sites will come up.
I get "Spyware" alerts asking me to purchase software.
There's an obviously bogus "Antivirus Scan" going on in the background of my computer. The program's color scheme is mainly blue and white.
I have an icon on my task bar for a program I did not install.
I can't open the task manager because it says the file is infected. I see the task manager appear for a split second, then it disappears.
I have other associated notifications telling me that there is a "Windows Security Alert", but the message is obviously fake, too.
There is an "Infiltration Alert" that tells me "Your computer is being attacked by an internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan - dropper of similar."
Like I said, I can't open any programs or even access the Internet on that machine...
What do I do? (HELP!)

I am currently take 60mg of Amitriptylene for Fibromyalgia, and started Mirtazipine for depression last week. Since starting the Mirtazapine I have noticed my pain is increasing.
Amitriptyline - Can Mirtazipine stop Amitriptylene from working as well?

Hi, paws! Mirtazapine shouldn't cause your amitriptyline not to work, but the combination itself can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. This condition is very rare, but very serious and if while taking the combination you notice any new or unusual symptoms or an increase in your previous symptoms you should notify your physician immediately.
Best wishes, WCV
