text: Hey, I ordered a custom Imac a week ago. It has now shipped from China to UK and I have an expected delivery date of 26th July. I just noticed, however, that cos I ordered a keyboard with a number pad it's not wireless and so want to change this to a regular wireless keyboard (with no num pad). Just phoned Apple and they said there was nothing they could do as it had shipped and that I should call them back when it's delivered. Just wondered if anyone else experienced a similar situation and what the outcome was. Many thanks!

The Balloon Fiesta almost always falls on the Valentine weekend, making it the perfect excuse and opportunity to spread the love. Proposals are almost expected, with at least 5 'Will you marry me?s' every year, that we know of! From surprise on-ground tactics to free falling from the sky proposals, every strategy is romantic when done with love.

Pre-nup Shoots

Colorfully Cajun
Remember walking into a Baskin Robbins ice-cream parlor when you were a kid? So many flavors to choose from – 31 to be exact. It was enough to make your little league baseball cap spin on top of your head.
Visiting Dupont Nursery (and its website) is a lot like that, especially for hibiscus lovers. From blooms of dark blues to golden greens, it's clear this nursery hangs its hat on the unfamiliar. "We enjoy finding the new plants," says Robbie Dupont, owner of Dupont Nursery. "It's the biggest challenge, but we have a lot of fun with it. You have to."
Father Knows Best
Located in Plaquemine, La., Dupont Nursery is a bedding plant nursery, wholesale distributor and exotic hibiscus hybridizer. Ninety percent of its business is selling finished annuals, perennials and specialty items to independent retail garden centers.
"[Hibiscus] is a big part of our business and it's getting bigger all the time," Robbie says. "We ship them all over the world. We have propagators in Spain, Italy and Portugal. We got a call from French Polynesia the other day."
But long before the inquiring call from a tiny South Pacific island and all the hibiscus hybridizing, Dupont Nursery started off as a garden center and floral shop in 1956, under Bobby Dupont, Robbie's father. Robbie took over the business in 1975, and 10 years later built a second location for growing, just a few miles away in Plaquemine.
The retail side of things ended several years ago. "We just couldn't do it all," Robbie says. "With retail, you're limited by the number of people you have to sell to in a small town. On the wholesale end, you really don't have those constraints. You can grow as big as you want to grow."
His father, Bobby, retired from the floral industry in 1995. While retired, Bobby began breeding hibiscuses as a hobby, breeding more for collector-type blooms. He took these blooms into hibiscus shows, which generated a good deal of interest. In 2005, Bobby placed first at the National Hibiscus Competition with 'Black Dragon.' That same year, he also took second with 'Etouffee.'
After some fatherly convincing, Robbie took these hibiscuses into production all the while making it a priority to develop a plant with more than just breathtaking blooms, but also nice growth habits.
Since then, much of Bobby's "retirement" has been spent breeding hibiscuses, more than 200 varieties. His breeding process is extensive and aided by Father Robert Gerlich. Father Gerlich is a professor at Loyola University and also the president of the New Orleans Chapter of the American Hibiscus Society.
"Every year we plant seedlings," Bobby says. "A couple of years ago we planted about 1,500, and out of those 1,500, we got about 100 varieties. Out of those 100, we had 20 or 30 that we went into production with."
His son Robbie says hibiscuses take anywhere from six months to two years. When we see one that blooms well, that we like the bloom on, we'll put it in the trial and see how it goes."
Sport Fanatic
With a reputation built on exciting, new varieties, Dupont Nursery puts plenty of effort into developing sports, and not just with hibiscuses.
"A sport is simply recognizing that something's very different about one plant in a large group of plants," Robbie says.
"For instance, we have a new rudbeckia goldstrum called 'Early Bird Gold' that's patented. This rudbeckia was in a group of maybe 1,500 seedlings in quart pots. They were all nice and even and green, about 3 inches tall, filling the pot. And then we had one plant that was 12 to 14 inches tall with 35 flowers on it. It was obvious there was something different about it."
The Duponts discovered this plant didn't require vernalization and it was day-length neutral, which means it will bloom much earlier compared to other varieties.
Other popular Dupont Nursery sports include a scaevola called 'Cajun Blue' and a coreopsis called 'Sundancer,' both of which are patented. 'Sundancer' actually came out of a group of the 'Sunray' variety Dupont Nursery was growing. "It's the only coreopsis that will reliably bloom in Florida," Robbie says. "It's self-sterile, so it doesn't have the big seed heads on it."
Southern Style
"Home of Cajun Color," is a little tagline the Duponts came up with years ago to differentiate their business, says Robert, who also heads up the branding for Dupont Nursery. The driving force behind this slogan is the popular Cajun hibiscus line. "It's on our tags and our pots. It definitely gave us our own identity." Through MasterTag, the nursery came up with a picture tag in 2008. "It's a very classy-looking tag and it seems to have helped," he adds. "We sell it on the finished one gallon."
Another recent update to the Cajun hibiscus line is 10-inch hanging baskets. This is the first year Dupont Nursery has offered the hibiscus hanging baskets and they've been very well received. "We've created a monster and now everyone in the country wants them," Robert says. There are four varieties that do particularly well in hanging baskets: 'Hanging Garden,' 'Wild At Heart,' 'Louisiana Flash,' and 'Evangeline.'
In addition to their own branding effort, Dupont Nursery is licensed to grow the Suntory and Athens Select lines, along with a few varieties from Itsaul Plants.
And while Father Gerlich has helped Bobby Dupont in the hibiscus breeding line, son Robbie also needed some help, but on the production side of things.
"Two years ago, we licensed Sun-Fire Nurseries to help beef up the production of hibiscus," Robbie says. Sun-Fire is based just outside of Sarasota, Fla., and seemed like a logical partner, according to Robbie. "They do bougainvilleas and Suntory mandevillas. We realized we needed to have someone in Florida where the growing climate is even better for hibiscus. At Sun-Fire, the hibiscuses are grown with a lot less effort and a lot less heat."
In house, Dupont Nursery's production line consists of a tray filler, a pot dropper, a manual transplant line and a watering tunnel. During peak season, Robbie employs approximately 70 workers. "We use monorail carts to distribute the plants throughout the nursery," Robbie says. If everything goes well for the Duponts, they would like to have a new automatic transplanter up and running by summer.
"Business is up from last year and there's not enough hours in the day," Robbie says. "At times it's been so busy, we've had to pull the planting crew to help us pull orders. That's why I think the transplanter is the answer."

UMass Lowell 'Adopts' Real-life River Hawks

Falcons Nesting on UMass Lowell are Officially Named by University
Each spring, a pair of rare peregrine falcons nests on the roof of UMass Lowell's Fox Hall in a nest box constructed for them by the university with the help of the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.
LOWELL – UMass Lowell's athletics teams and even its mascot, Rowdy, have been known as River Hawks for two decades, a tribute to the birds of various species who, like the university, call the banks of the Merrimack River home.
Yesterday, the university officially "adopted" the living embodiment of the River Hawks: a pair of rare peregrine falcons who have nested atop Fox Hall, the university's largest residence hall and the tallest building in the city of Lowell each spring since at least 2007.
Up until that time, the female falcon had been laying eggs on the cement roof out in the open – the birds do not make typical nests – which made it more difficult for the chicks to survive. Working with the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, UMass Lowell made a nest box and erected a webcam to monitor it in time for the falcons to return the following spring. Earlier this year, the university upgraded the nest box and webcam, which has allowed birding enthusiasts around the country to watch the falcons.
The webcam is available at www.uml.edu/hawkwatch, which also features more information on UMass Lowell's River Hawks traditions as well as on peregrine falcons.
"UMass Lowell chose the name for its athletics teams, the River Hawks, to signify the importance of the Merrimack River both to the university and to the city of Lowell. The River Hawks symbolize our strength and pride. Today, we are not only adopting the pair of falcons as River Hawks, we are recognizing the importance of the birds to our environment," said Chancellor Marty Meehan, one of the speakers at yesterday's "adoption" celebration with students, faculty and staff at the aptly named Hawk's Nest Café, located a short distance from Fox Hall on UMass Lowell's East Campus.
They are two of just a few dozen pairs of peregrine falcons believed to be living in Massachusetts.
As the birds have returned each spring, so has the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, checking on the falcons and banding their offspring to allow further monitoring once they leave the nest.
The symbolic adoption of the birds – which were officially named "Merri" and "Mack" for the Merrimack River over which they nest – celebrates school spirit as well as enhancing understanding of UMass Lowell's resident falcons.

Where to lay your head
All Nusa Dua's luxury hotels have their own beachfront and most have a range of restaurants and activities to keep their guests in house as much as possible.
The Conrad pegs itself at the upper end of the Nusa Dua properties and aside from a couple of minor gripes, delivers the goods. It's a sprawling hotel with two main pools (one standard shaped, the other a rambling lagoon affair which includes two sections of beach) and over 300 metres of beachfront. The trek from reception to the furthest rooms takes five to ten minutes. Rooms are well sized and... Read our full review of Conrad Bali Resort and Spa Hotel.
The Westin Nusa Dua Resort is an older hotel that by mid 2011 plans to have a full renovation completed. Post renovation brings a new range of deluxe rooms that are ultra-modern and in keeping with Westin standards elsewhere in the region. Furnished with a batik flourish, the 38 square metre rooms feature plush beds, lounges, big flat screen TVs, fridges, walk-in wardrobes, small balconies (with...

Set towards the southern end of Nusa Dua's luxury neighbourhood, the Melia Bali doesn't have quite the facilities (nor the sky high pricetag) of some of its neighbours, but, with recently renovated rooms, this isn't a bad deal. The renovated deluxe rooms are well kitted out with polished wooden floors, motif decor, new mattresses, flat screen TVs and plush linen. Both the new and old rooms have...

Most of the hotels along Tanjung Benoa are upmarket and beachfront, but a few cheaper options are present on the opposite side of the road.
You've got the fancy invitation and you just can't say no to this relative: you've got to head to Nusa Dua, Bali for the wedding even though you can barely afford the airfare. You won't find any budget rooms in Nusa Dua proper — the sterile, manicured enclave specifically created for five-star resorts. But just up the road, a short cab ride away in what is strictly speaking Tanjung... Read our full review of Pondok Agung Homestay.
Bumbu Bali is best known for its fabulous Balinese restaurants and cooking school, but its associated bed and breakfast, Rumah Bali, isn't too shabby either. The property is unassuming from the carpark, but as you walk back, and back, you'll quickly realise this is a beautiful spot spread across a vast property on the off-beach side of Jalan Pratama. There is a large open-air function area (which... Read our full review of Rumah Bali Bed and Breakfast.
The rooms at Matahari are big and modern and feature air-con, satellite TV, fridges and sleek bathrooms with hot water. It's an extremely popular place and you will find most of the guests either hanging out on the verandahs of each room reading a book or sitting by the stunning pool area — it's the best part of the hotel. While the pool overlooks the ocean, the hotel has its own private shaded... Read our full review of Matahari Terbit.
Set towards the northern end of the Tanjung Benoa stretch of hotels, the sprawling bulk of the Ramada property is on the off-beach side of Jalan Pratama, with just the Tao Restaurant and the hotel's second swimming pool beachside.

The beachfront area is dominated by an unimaginative rectangular pool (which didn't look Olympic... Read our full review of The Bali Khama.
Located across the road from the beach at Tanjung Benoa, Rasa Sayang seems a little off its game. The staff are disorganised, sleepy and unsure of prices and the rooms are extremely dark with next to no natural light. Rooms are aligned in a long terrace and their style is old, but the rooms do have air-con and hot water. Rasa Sayang redeems itself further by offering a complimentary breakfast,...

This is the cheapest place we could find in Nusa Dua/Tanjung Benoa. Rooms are in a basic Balinese-style longhouse with a shared common veranda area. Beds are old and soft, the rooms have signs of damp on the wall and the bathrooms were a bit smelly at our look-see. All that aside, the location is just off the road so is a little bit quiet and all rooms come with free WiFi. We've seen a lot worse... Read our full review of Pondok Hasan Inn.

Comfort Food Shapes Up
As winter's chill sets in, so does the craving for warm, hearty meals. But as satisfying as they are, classic comfort foods like spaghetti and meatballs and chicken pot pie generally pack way too much fat. Fortunately, you can easily slim down some perennial favorites -- without losing the flavor:
- Meat Loaf Swap ground beef for ground turkey breast and slash meat loaf's hefty 23 grams of fat per serving down to a still satisfying 14.
- Spaghetti and Meatballs You can also substitute ground turkey in this favorite, and pare each serving from 21 grams of fat to 13.
- Chicken Pot Pie Skip the bottom crust and use only the top, and the fat in pot pie drops from 31 to 21 grams per serving. Make this dish even leaner by using broth thickened with pureed potatoes -- rather than a cream base -- for the filling, suggests Riska Platt, a spokesperson for the American Heart Association.
- Pancakes Each flapjack loses 3 grams of fat (from 6 down to 3) when you use egg whites instead of whole eggs (2 whites=1 whole egg) and buttermilk or skim milk instead of whole.
Keep in mind that not all cold-weather dishes serve up high amounts of fat, so don't overlook pot roast and beef stew -- which can be made with leaner cuts of meat -- and mushroom barley and lentil soups -- which are made with the tiniest bit of fat (usually just a little oil to saute the onions).
Passing On Good Taste
Need one more reason to consider breastfeeding your baby? Research suggests it's then easier to introduce solids, because infants who nurse are more willing to try new foods.
According to studies by Leann Birch, Ph.D., a children's nutrition researcher at Pennsylvania State University, breast milk transmits food flavors from a mother's diet, which helps ready an infant for "real" foods. Birch and her colleagues found that breastfed babies more readily accept foods like peas and green beans than formula-fed babies, who are exposed to the same formula flavor day after day.
What if your baby is formula-fed? Don't worry: The more often you offer a new food, the more likely it is your child will eat it.
Taking Batter Care
In some families, licking the mixing bowl is as much a holiday tradition as baking festive cookies and cakes. The problem: Most raw batter contains uncooked eggs -- the primary source of the bacteria salmonella -- so even a finger swipe means risking a run-in with food poisoning.
Though the odds of getting salmonella poisoning from raw eggs are relatively small, the number of cases in the United States is rising because of strong new strains of the bacteria, as well as unsafe food-handling practices. Toddlers, pregnant women, and those with a weak immune system are particularly vulnerable to infection. Symptoms can appear from 12 to 36 hours after eating and include abdominal pains, diarrhea, vomiting, chills, fever, and headache.
Your family's best line of defense, according to the Food and Drug Administration: Steer clear of uncooked eggs in raw batter and dough, and avoid using them in recipes that don't require cooking, such as homemade mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sauces.
If your child's pleas to lick the mixing bowl are just too great to bear, consider using a pasteurized egg product, located next to the eggs at most grocery stores. It will have undergone a heating process that kills salmonella. Another way to appease kids who are begging for batter: Buy premade cookie batter or ice cream with cookie dough. The eggs in these products are also pasteurized.
A+ Nutrition
All produce is not created equal: To get the most vitamin A from your fruits and vegetables, buy the darkest orange, red, yellow, and leafy green ones you can find. Vitamin A -- especially plentiful in carrots, tomatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes, and winter squash -- helps keep vision sharp and skin, bones, and teeth in top form.
Snack Attack
Q. Is it okay for a constantly hungry preschooler to snack all day, even if it lessens his appetite for meals?
A. Kids' energy needs are about two to three times that of adults, but they don't have adult-size stomachs to eat what they need in one sitting, so snacking is definitely in order. The key is to make sure most of what he munches on is nutritious. To teach good eating habits, consider limiting him to two or three scheduled snacks a day. "A child who nibbles all the time can fall in the trap of eating when he's not hungry, which can lead to overeating later on," says Patty Morse, a pediatric dietitian at Loyola University Medical Center, in Chicago.
Try offering a bite two to three hours after breakfast or lunch, but at least two hours before his next meal. If he's hungry, an evening snack is fine as well. When possible, have him sit at a table -- not in front of the TV or computer. Distractions can make a child feel he hasn't really tasted his food, which means he's likely to feel hungry again sooner.
Smart Munchies
- Pita bread and hummus
- Cut-up veggies with a low-fat dip or salsa
- Banana pops (banana dipped in yogurt and rolled in crushed breakfast cereal; serve frozen or unfrozen on a stick)
- Quesadilla (soft tortilla with cheese melted inside)
Daryn Eller is working on a book about boosting energy.

Actress Ellen Page goes home page
Academy Award nominee Ellen Page (from Juno, Whip It, and of course X-Men: The Last Stand) adorns our home page today, which links to a really cute video of her interacting with her home town doctor via Cisco TelePresence.
P.S. Once you watch the first video, there are a couple of other charming videos there featuring Ellen returning to her home town in Canada.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Ellen Paige is adorable and beautiful. But who does the voice over at the end? At first I thought it was MS Paige, but others have named Bahvna Toor, with no reference, an Indian actress listed as one of the "Mysterious Beauties" in the Indian short film, "Time And The Hour Run". But none of these have a speaking role so identification is impossible. Thanks, Kit
Claire Voyant
Just logged on to find out who Ellen is.Still do not know.
Boy, this is a tough crowd.My wife and I love the ads and we love Ellen Page. She was wonderful in Juno and now she's starring in Inception with Leo DiCaprio. She's talented and sweet and low-key. She's the opposite of vapid, hollowed-out, drugged-up Hollywood types like Lindsay Lohan. These ads are home runs for Cisco.
mary Marsicano
I may be the only voice who thinks these ellen"" commercials are an insult to intelligence and terribly boring. I would love to see more of the wonderful, innovative developments that Cisco can take credit for and NO MORE of this empty headed lost child, who can't even take her hands out of her coat pockets. A real wardrobe no no. Wardrobe should sew her pockets shut. For the life of me I cannot understand why a company that excels in cutting edge technology hires an actress who always looks totally dumb, confused, lost, and can't speak more than a few words at a time.I am in awe of Cisco and its accomplishments but totally turned off by Ellen's role in these commercials. What was Cisco thinking?Respectfully, Mary Marsicano"
I am also big fan of Ellen. He is very talented actress. And he looks very smart person. Ellen movie is really more interesting to see. i like it very much of David movie. Thanks for all sharing info here.allfilmtrailers.com"

Why Lunenburg? Since Ms Page isnt really from there. I can guess, but am curious about the real reason. My wife and I were destined to get married there. While on vacation far from our Baltimore home, we were headed to find a JOP in Cape Cod on 9/11/2001. Obviously, that was not to be. We waited a year and took our vacation in LaHave, NS. We tried again on 9/10/2002 in another nearby town but that JOP wasn't around. So, we took our license the next day, 9/11/2002, to the Lunenburg City Hall where we were married with our marvelous Black Labrador Moses serving as best man/maid of honor. How surprised were we 8 years later to see that same City Hall in that beautiful little town in your ad? Moses has recently passed on, no doubt chasing seagulls on that giant beach in the sky, but we've had 8 great years together and look forward to returning to Lunenburg again soon. Til then we'll view your ads as travelogs from our trip. Just wanted to share some memories and say thanks for keeping them fresh.
I think the ads are terrific.However, in the field trip spot, I was surprised to see that it is a bright, sunny day in both Luneburg and China at the same time.
I like these ads, but they have an odd subtext like an old Twilight Zone episode - technology and Big Brother encroaching into the sanctity of small town life. You have a place that is unlikely to have any serious crime, but there are security cameras on the streets being actively monitored by the police. Your school, your doctor, the whole town is not just a community but part of The Network,"" where everyone can see and be seen at any time. Fascinating, promising, but also spooky in a way."
This is a very effective ad series for the right psychographic. I actually leave it on the screen rather than change the channel when the China"" spot comes on. I confess I didn't know who Ellen Page is, but thought she added the right touch of youth, intelligence and subtle humor.Good choice of voiceover talent, too. Well done, Cisco!"
Why does the girl leap to her feet and flail her arms as she speaks? Why do all the children - even the Chinese children - scream in unison? Is this an ad for Ritalin? And what's with the ridiculous antique school desks? Oh, I get it. The old"" technology versus the ""new"". All in all, a very annoying ad."
Sure, these are ads, so you have to suspend belief. However, it seems utterly unrealistic that Ellen's hometown doctor would have state-of-the-art video conferencing, given that essential medical technology, like CT scan machines, is severely rationed in Canada, and given the tight controls on doctors' incomes there.
In both the doctor and the classroom skits, there is the matter of time zones - which has not been addressed. Those Chinese kids would be sound asleep when the school in Lunenburg was having class.
I've seen the ads but have no idea who Ellen Page is. I'm also a teacher and think that the China Field Trip"" has no educational value."

I love these ads. Yes, I know who Ellen Page is. Yes, I am familiar with the products that Cisco makes. I run my own business and in that regard, I am in charge of marketing, finance, IT, and customer service. These ads are great for a number of reasons.1: Ellen is a very talented actress. She seems like a low-key type of person to begin with, but her humor and humanity really do shine through.2: Cisco does a great job showing people the possibilities of technology. On a global scale and in the new global market they will have to appeal to an ever broader range of potential consumers. This ad proves they can.3: Most of the people that will react to this ad will do one of several things, Google Cisco"" or ""Ellen Page"", ask their IT person what Cisco does and if it's right for them, or walk away. Most of the people that make decisions to buy enterprise technology are highly dependent on their IT staff to make recommendations anyway.So for some people who hated the commercials because they weren't real, get over it. It's a commercial, it's 30 seconds of fantasy designed to get you to do something else."
Wow, someone doesn't like the ads. I personally enjoyed them quite a bit and as someone who has been contemplating setting up a home network, they gave me some food for thought. But I have to say I probably would not have comment if Kevin (K) had not been so adamantly opposed the ads.So...1) I know who Ellen Page is. Better than I know Cisco, so the ads have done what they were intended to do, attract someone who is not terribly familiar with the brand to learn more about their solutions. 2) I work as a virtual assistant and am in fact planning out a series of mini vacations over the next few months. I've been working on a solution for taking my work with me so I can visit with my family in multiple cities for longer without having to worry about actually taking too many days off. I can conceivably spend a month away from my home office without exhausting all of my time off, and still have weekends and evenings to spend with family and friends. Bonus, if something happens and I want to extend my vacation, I can without work being a major issue. So, I fully understand the Dr's situation. Add to that, this would be an ideal way to show some of my family members, with slightly less technical knowledge than I, how to do things in real time, and I'm interested in seeing how Cisco can help me set this up. 3) The school skit. Really? Let's talk pros of a set up like this for kids. It allows them to speak to and see people from across the globe. Introduces them to new languages, allows them to expand their horizons. AND it keeps them interested in learning. Wouldn't you be eager to go to school if you knew that was the place where you could talk to your friend in China, Germany, Africa, etc? And what do you eventually talk to these friends about? Your similarities AND your differences, and when you talk to friends about things you remember them and they become more interesting. The metric system, traditions, culture, sports, the alphabet as compared to kanji, mac n cheese vs odango, etc. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.4) The example of only ellen seeing something wrong, well why would any of the rest of them get excited about HER car being ticketed. In fact wouldn't that create the revenue that pays their salaries. So, that example is invalid. But I do agree about gov't spending money on new systems when they aren't willing to spend the money to be properly supported or to get properly trained on. However, that was just one ad an intro to the system if you will, perhaps follow ups would give those in doubt a clearer picture of the Lunenburg Cisco network. IN case they are unable to use their imagination for the rest.I'm done for now. The only thing left to say, is Good Job Cisco & Mr Hardee. Looking forward to more.
Penrose Lamont
Silly ad. Trivial use of technology.It says that this stuff isn't very useful for real communication, and it isn't.
I'm sorry, but I watch that ad to see the Border Collie. Border Collies are always checking things out, making sure everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing. Hey, that's actually a good dog representative for CISCO, come to think of it.
Best part of the ads are Ellen's aside"" muttering... such as when told the doc is in Copenhagen ""Sheesh, that's far"" or when told that the class is 'going' to China she mutters that when she was a kid, their field trip was to a farm.That adds a nice touch.Plus, well, she is gorgeous, too :-)"
A former tech guy
I think this ad campaign is great. I watch it every time it is on. It's interesting and fun. It breaks through the clutter and delivers a simple message - Cisco stuff can transform an organization.
Bellar Tex
Geez people, its a TV AD. You guys are taking way to seriously. Perhaps the school didn't spend all that money for a CISCO setup, but the town could have and the video conferencing is just part of the network. Its also not in America, but there are smallish towns that DO have advance public networks that are pretty good. And compared to Parts of Europe and Korea - North America is way way behind.The ads are cute and not to be taken seriously. You remember the jungle, the cute girl with the odd situations. (The Doctor AD cuts out a bit too fast). Also, her car wasn't be broken into (How observant of you) - she's getting a PARKING ticket. She looks cute going from 0 to 20 out the door :) She looks better in these ads, than in Juno, a very good actress - hope her career the best.Remember folks, the I'm A Mac and PC guys... are not actually computers.
Kevin Kanonymous
This ad campaign is very weak. In one ad, we're asked to believe that a doctor goes to Copenhagen on vacation, then sits, waiting at the Cisco system, despite the time difference, in case anyone of interest visits his office back home. How realistic is that? In another, a municipal office spent a great deal of money on a Cisco system but doesn't know how to use it; the woman monitoring the system says everything is okay, and only Ellen sees that something is wrong. This is why cities are going bankrupt -- spending money foolishly, for equipment they don't need or can't operate. In yet another ad, a school -- despite the budget problems experienced by most schools these days -- wastes money on a Cisco system so the students can hook up with students in another part of the world (again, despite the time differences). And most of us have no idea who Ellen Page"" is. She seems to be another ""Ann Page"" or ""Betty Crocker"" but without the air of authority and credibility that those experienced homemakers appeared to have had when they served as corporate figureheads. Pull this dumb ad series and develop something that recognizes current realities rather than some silly fantasy world where doctors sit around waiting for a celebrity visit half-way around the world or where people are encouraged to spend money foolishly for some extravagant, unnecessary item they won't know how to use."
These ads are ridiculous. First, we have a metropolitan police department that wastes money installing a Cisco system it doesn't seem to know how to use; the woman monitoring the system says everything is fine, and only Ellen seems to notice that her car is being broken into. Then, we have a doctor who goes overseas but wastes time there waiting for anyone who might visit his office back home, so he can speak with them via a Cisco system; who would have confidence in a doctor like this -- or in the doctor's decision to waste a lot of money buying a system for such a silly purpose? Or we have a school board that wastes a lot of money installing a system that would have limited usage at a time when most school boards cannot afford to keep on its full teaching staff or continue its sports, music and arts programs. Would anyone trust the endorsement of a school board that wastes money on frivolous items when neglecting the basic needs? Also, many viewers have no idea who Ellen Page is; some people thought she might be the daughter"" of ""Ann Page,"" one of the A&P's brands, akin to ""Betty Crocker."" So Cisco wasted money hiring Ms. Page.In short, this ad campaign suggests that only incompetent people who have questionable judgment and an inability to spend money wisely are likely to buy this product."
Actually, she has roots in Lockeport, Shelburne County.
Mr Martin Hardee want to know why cisco took her in the add....she is a gud actress...liked her in the movie juno""is she the next brand ambassador or somethin like that..."
Ian Smith
A cute ad campaign, except Ellen isn't from Lunenburg. She was born and raised in Halifax. She has roots in Shelburne too, but Lunenburg is halfway in between the two. I guess they chose it for the ad because it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site - and just like Ellen, Lunenburg is small and cute.
Thanks, Dominik. I guess I thought Ellen page *should* have won an Oscar (and for Whip It and X3, too)! I've made that correction.P.S. I really like your ellenpage.org site
Dear Mr. Hardee,Ellen was only"" nominated for an Academy Award and didn't win back in 2008. :-)Regards~Dominik KeppnerWebmaster - Ellen Page Online"

This just about made me cry. ;-PReplyDelete
Naomi, this is adorable. Priceless. You've described everything I feel so perfectly. How is it you always do that? *wink, wink*
In fact, I like this so much I'm going to nominate it for Miss Dashwood's I'd Like To Share. What say you to that? :-)
~Violet (I haven't used that one in a while. ;-P)
Aww, thank you darling Violet! Yep, I know you are a home-person, just like I am. And THANK YOU so much for nominating me! I say aye, aye to that sir!ReplyDelete
This is so sweet!!! Although, I haven't really been away from home enough to feel quite the same... But this is adorable. :)ReplyDelete
I love staying home!!! Therefore, I agree with all of these!ReplyDelete
Especially the smell! Have you noticed that everybody's house has a different smell, but you don't really notice your own except when you come back from a trip?
And your belongings! No, I'm not using them right now, but I *may* need them later!!
Thanks for this great post!

This was wonderful, and sooo true!! Especially the part about having your belongings near. Because seriously, there is never any room to pack my complete collection of Jane Austen, or my sewing machine, or...ReplyDelete
Anyways, lovely post!!
~Miss Elliot
Beautiful, lovely post, Naomi!ReplyDelete
I especially empathize with this due to our NOT having our own home for 2 months! I always loved and appreciated home, but not having one for that long really helped me appreciate and love it even more! Now that we're in our new home, I thank God so much for it! Home is certainly one of the best places on earth and there's just nothing like it. :) Your list is perfection. Smells noises, sights, schedule, and YES YOUR OWN BED!! And of course most important of all is your family. That's what really makes it home, in my opinion! :)
Thank you for such a great post!!
Spam comments are lame. I got SO many of them I had to disable Anonymous comments. (Sorry nice Anonymites)
Anyway. Other comments = I LOVE YOU. :-)

2010 U.S. Open: Will Caroline Wozniacki Succeed As Number One?August 26, 2010
As the U.S. Open gets underway, no one has been talking much about Caroline Wozniacki, the current World No. 2.
She seems to make her biggest push of the season around this time of the year—the end of summer and the start of the U.S. Open.
The teenager from Denmark who finally made it to age 20 almost glided into Flushing Meadows, flying under the media radar.
Last year seeded No. 9, Wozniacki made it all the way to the finals of the U.S. Open, after stopping the American upstart, Melanie Oudin, dead in her tracks.
Oudin, a 17-year-old American, tore loose as her own one-woman wrecking crew against the top Russian players in the field, taking them out one at a time in thrilling fashion from the first round to the quarterfinals. The teenager thrilled the American public as she won time and again, coming back from a set down in most of her matches.
But Dane Wozniacki met Oudin head on, defeating her in the quarterfinals, ending her Cinderella run at the 2009 U.S. Open. In the semifinals, Wozniacki overcame Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, winning that match 6-3, 6-3 in 96 minutes.
That took Wozniacki into the finals of the U.S. Open, where she challenged Kim Clijsters for the crown. The Dane battled but lost that match to the Belgian 7-5, 6-3 in an hour and 33 minutes.
Even though she did not win the tournament, Wozniacki found herself right at home in such a big event. She proved to herself that she was within striking distance of winning a major.
After the 2009 U.S. Open, Wozniacki quickly found herself ranked in the top five. During 2010, her ranking rose and fell with the seasons—but only slightly.
Wozniacki reached the finals at Indian Wells, which propelled her for the first time into the No. 2 ranking.
In April, the Dane won her seventh tour title overall at Ponte Verdra Beach, Florida as the top seed.
It was in Charleston, as the top seed once again, that the red-hot Wozniacki suffered a setback. She reached the semifinals, where she faced Russian Vera Zvonareva, but had to retire with a right ankle sprain. The injury slowed her progress and in her return to action, her movement seemed labored.
Wozniacki re-injured her right ankle in Warsaw where she had to retire in the quarterfinals against Jie Zheng. At the French Open the Dane fell to the eventual champion Francesca Schiavone in the quarterfinals. At Wimbledon, she lost in the fourth round.
Earlier this month, Wozniacki won her eighth overall tour singles title in Copenhagen as the top seed. She followed that by winning the Rogers Cup—extended because of rain to this past week. Wozniacki won her first Rogers Cup by defeating Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2, after dismissing Svetlana Kuznetsova in the semifinals.
Having recently risen to retake the No. 2 ranking on August 16, 2010, Wozniacki now finds herself as the No. 1 seed as the U.S. Open gets underway.
This is a nervous surprise. Wozniacki is seeded so highly because Serena Williams, the current WTA No. 1 ranked woman has withdrawn from the U.S. Open after cutting her foot on broken glass at a restaurant. The injury took place in July and Williams finds herself unable to compete.
Kim Clijsters will be seeded No. 2, with Venus Williams No. 3, and Serb Jelena Jankovic coming in as the No. 4 seed.
With the draws to be announced on Thursday, there seems to be no clear cut front runner now that Serena Williams has withdrawn from the field. Venus Williams has been out of action, fighting knee problems during the hard court tune-ups. That, plus the fact that Venus has not won the U.S. Open Championship since 2001, nor been much of a factor at the Open for the past few years.
Most will predict that Kim Clijsters, last year's champion, will be favored to win her third U.S. Open title. Clijsters has won three WTA tournaments this year and seems to be the most ready to repeat this year.
The outlook for any player seeded No. 1 is not good. In the past 10 years, the No. 1 seed has won the U.S. Open only twice. Serena Williams did it in 2002 and Justine Henin accomplished the feat in 2007—otherwise, the No. 1 seed has failed to win the tournament. In the end, being the top seed only makes you a bigger target.
Yet despite the fact that she is seeded No. 1, Wozniacki will remain off everybody's radar because of her style of play.
Known primarily as a counter-puncher, a defensive specialist, Wozniacki will definitely have to step it up at the Open to win this event. She will need to be more aggressive and initiate some action.
Since 2009, Wozniacki has improved her serve and her forehand, while her backhand remains her best weapon, alongside her scrambling ability––allowing her to get more balls back into play on her opponent's side of the net. One thing the Dane does not lack is courage and the will to win. She is mentally tough.
Now at age 20, Wozniacki is within a whisper of being the No. 1 ranked woman in the world. All she must do is win both the tournament this week in New Haven, plus the U.S. Open to surpass Serena Williams as the No. 1 player. Pretty tall order all the way around for anyone.
So far, playing in New Haven, Wozniacki has advanced into the quarterfinals after defeating Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova 6-4, 6-1. Her next opponent will be Italian Flavia Penneta. After her splendid run through the North American hard court season, Wozniacki should be brimming with confidence. The question is, will her legs last after so much tennis?
Without Serena Williams in the mix, so far the oddsmakers like the Dane's chances at the U.S. Open. The wannabe champion of the Open just might be one of the newer rising stars, some of whom feel they have paid their dues—among them 20-year-old Wozniacki.

Does being professionally qualified have a role in 21st century HR?
The CIPD's a professional body, so I hope you won't be surprised to know that we spend considerable time and effort asking ourselves what professionalism is , and how it shows its face in 21st century businesses and organisations. We often hold our meetings with the CIPD's council at the Royal College of Physicians. The experience of being in that wonderful building, decorated with antique portraits...

Getting practical on equal pay
If you're the statistically average woman (you know, 2.4 kids, size 14-16, wearing the wrong bra size... Oh, and also, working full-time whilst bearing the bulk of domestic responsibility) from today until New Year's Eve you're working for no pay. That's the argument behind #equalpayday , 10 November, the day when the average full-time working woman stops earning for the year compared to the average...

2020 vision for equal pay
Last month (that is in August 2016) the Institute for Fiscal Studies published a briefing note on the Gender Wage Gap . I'd urge anyone to read the report. Some of its findings are encouraging, at least to an optimist (the gap between hourly wages for men and for women is shrinking, albeit very slowly); some are deeply depressing (the gender wage gap widens gradually but significantly from the late 20s and early...

Ready, fire, aim; more haste less speed
I've always been confused by the idea of "more haste, less speed," never really having understood the difference between haste and speed. More resonant to me has always been the expression "ready, fire, aim." In a previous job it was the stock phrase used by a boss when he felt a project hadn't been adequately planned, when analysis was weak or objectives had been poorly defined. "That...

Brexit: practical questions, philosophical answers
Today's news came as a surprise. I drifted off to sleep yesterday around midnight with the radio reassuring me that tomorrow would be much like yesterday. I woke this morning to different news. We'd voted to leave the European Union. As a profession we're likely to be divided on whether that's good news or bad.

What can Sports Direct teach us about fairness and corporate culture?
'As an individual, would you tolerate that? Is that fair?' Challenges to some dubious employment practices such as docking pay by 15 minutes for 1 minute's lateness. This question, and implied demand for fairness, didn't come from a leading human rights campaigner, church leader or management guru. It comes from Mike Ashley, Executive Deputy Chairman of Sports Direct (and its major shareholder). Ashley...

A quick bit of background. I'm originally from the LA area, spawned from a pair of Army brats that met and fell in love and Texas, and spent my formative years in Tulsa, OK, before moving to St. Louis as an 8yr old whose first baseball card back in Tulsa was a 1986 Topps Ozzie Smith. So, when my parents asked me if we should move to St. Louis or Chicago, I said St. Louis, because that's where Ozzie played.
Needless to say, I was nearly born a Cardinals fan. But, I also grew up in a household that cheered for the Cowboys and Lakers. Yup.
I've lived in St. Louis since 1987, with the exception of a brief jaunt to Chicago to get my undergrad and a wife, and baseball here is a religion. Okay, Catholicism is the dominant religion here, but you know what I mean.
The end of winter here is signaled not by the melting of the snow, but that hallowed day when pitchers and catchers report.
The start of summer is signified not by the end of school, but by the sights and sounds of the local children on their own ball fields, emulating their titanic heroes in red.
Fall is marked not by brown leaves, but by the hunt for Red October, and the dulcet tones of Shannon and Rooney on workplace radios as the Cardinals battle and plunge deeper into the playoffs.
Winter ... winter is a time of death and rebirth as the roster churns and we gaze south, to the gentle shores of Jupiter to give us a sign, anything, that lets us know that it's almost time to begin anew that trek to the next Red October.
Yeah, some folks are also pretty great fans for the Blues and Rams, too, for sure, but they're not woven into the local fabric in the same way as the Cardinals. In a lot of ways, the Cardinals ARE St. Louis.
I think that may be part of the intense animosity the rest of the country holds for the Cardinals and their fans. We really, truly love this team, and I think a lot of fans of other baseball teams view that as a commentary on their own fandom, when it's not. We don't really worry about the way other teams interact with their fans, but we're always surprised when teams are booed in their own stadiums. That just seems ... well, like something a bad fan would do. I dunno. That's just now how we roll.
This is the town that partially grades players by how much hustle they show getting to first base on a walk, and I'm not kidding.
So, anyway, that's the foundation of my love for sports.
Today, yeah, I totally get up for the Rams, even though current ownership hasn't earned it at all. And, fuck, this season is looking very, very grim. I have a feeling, though, the problem will no longer be ours very, very soon when the league and broadcast networks get their wish and the Rams are moved back to LA.
Really, though, I think I'm a bigger fan of the NFL than I am the Rams. I just like football. I think we should solve all international conflicts with games of football.
At least I still have Mizzou football. They're a blast to watch, and the college game is so much more watchable than the pro game, which has become addicted to penalties and theatrics. The college game is filled with risk-taking in the play-calling, and fantastic atmosphere.
But What Does it All Mean?!
See, I take weekends off. I'm working the first 40hour/week job I've ever had. Everything before this has been 50+ with more working weekends than not. Nowadays, I like taking an outdoor jaunt with the wife and boys and dog, then spending the rest of the time gaming on my laptop while watching the Cardinals, Rams, Mizzou, or whatever sporting event, and just losing myself in the relaxation.
I particularly enjoy playing MMOs while watching sports, since I can shift my attention back and forth. The single-player RPGs are much more a night-time activity, after everyone's in bed, and I can focus intently.
Red October
Now, once we're in the playoffs, the laptop is put away, the games shutdown, and the Surface tablet is set on the coffee table to act as a stat companion. It's also when the Khaleesi and I back WAAAY up on shows on the DVR.
In any case, go finish your work day, and enjoy your weekend. I plan to do the same.

jQuery Powertable – Move, Show, Hide, Fix Table Columns
By trent on 25 Apr in CSS, Javascript
jQuery Powertable is a jQuery plugin to help spice up your tables. Of course there are a lot of table plugins, but this plugin gives you all the power, yet stays out of the way for you to style. Complete with a full api to remotely manage your table, you can manage from within the table, or outside the table.
So what type of features does this so called table plugin have that are so amazing?
- Move Columns – Works via drag and drop or api call
- Show/Hide Columns – Works from generated handle or api call
- Fixed Columns – Sets columns as fixed upon initialization or api call
- Rows Columns – Sets rows as fixed upon initialization or api call
- Persistant – Use browser storage to remember settings or supply your own
And if that isn't enough the fact that it eats 1,000 row tables for breakfast should be. The plugin digs down below the jquery level to pure javascript for maximum performance. Finally you should know where and how to get it:
Hope you enjoy!

Hello Trent!
I've been playing around with your powertable plugin and finding it pretty nifty – thank you!
I ran into some issues in an odd way – I was browsing your pages and examples in firefox, being very impressed by the dragging column reorder functionality.
I implemented powertable on some of my pages, which I was viewing in IE 9, and just couldn;t ge the column drag handle to appear or work..
Fretted n fussed for a long time, then opened the same page in firefox – and voila it worked just fine.
I then opened your pages http://trentrichardson.com/examples/jQuery-Powertable/index.html in IE and saw to my dissapointment that the drag handles disappeared.
Are you aware of this issue in IE, and perhaps have any idea how to address it?
help much appreciated dude!
Hey Marek, this is the initial release of powertable so there may be some rough edges, thanks for reporting. The drag drop is purely html5, which is good and bad. Good in that no external libraries are required and bad that only latest browsers support this. I think the handles disappear because of my feature detection. I may need to detect drag drop differently (around line 161).
There is also one other known but I would love to get fixed. Fixed columns/rows in Firefox does not work. I know why but have not figured out a solution yet. My current hack is to change the table cell [td] to position: relative; Technically this is an invalid value, but all browsers will entertain my quirks, except FF..
I will check on the IE feature detection.

Currently there is not integration between the two, they function separately. You should be able to place a timepicker into a table like you have done in your jsfiddle.
Lee Hull - Aug 21, 2012
Any luck on a fix for FireFox? This is exactly what I need for my project, but would like to comply with FireFox as well as IE, even a workaround would be great.
Currently it is not fixed. Everything seems to work fine except for that one pesky FF issue. Technically it's not a bug, FF properly renders it, but other browsers allow us to use invalid style properties for td elements. If you have any creative idea's I'm open to them.

I'm looking for such a table that also works when the body direction is rtl. This one comes quite close, but the fixed column disappears after scroll. Would it be difficult to fix ?

Hi Trent,
Very nice job. I really like your plugin and your approach. Il works perfectly on ie9 but i've tried in ie8 on vista and 7 and i have an app crash when i try to scroll. Have you any idea ?
Serene Rajkarnikar - Dec 07, 2012
Hi Trent,
I was recently looking into Powertable as a solution on one of the projects I was working on. It worked great, however, when trying to rebuild the table, I received an error saying "currFIxed" is not defined.
Uncaught ReferenceError: currFixed is not defined
Upon looking into the file, I found that the definition was missing on the method – rebuild(line 297). I went ahead and defined it in line with currName and currVisible, and there's no issues after that.
Just thought I'd let you know.

I'm SO beyond excited I'm engaged & my BEAUTIFUL ring is on my finger! After 2 months of shopping and research, our quest to create the perfect ring has come to an end! Last I was told the ring was about 2 weeks out in being made. Shockingly it was done on Friday and he proposed!
Here is my stunning ring! (Ok, I admit, I may be a bit biased.) It is an 18ct white gold split shank with a rose gold halo. There's a double interlocking pave halo set in the rose gold with another halo slightly tucked under the center stone. Center stone was purchased separately from Blue Nile 1.5ct, G, SI1, Ideal Cut. (Wow, that's a long description!) But I am just SO excited to finally join all you lovely bees in sharing of the RING PORN!!! I've been obsessing on all of your beautiful sparklers in anticipation of having my very own to share. Here she is:

And now something for struggling musicians…
The music industry is dead. Long live the music industry. In a piece we put out earlier today, we highlighted how more Web sites are popping up to help new and established artists get funding directly from their fans. See here.
So if you're a musician and your demo songs are any good, fans can buy "shares" in your next album for a minimum of $10 each. At the very least the fan gets a copy of the completed album. Plus, the more shares they buy the more access they get to the creative and production process for the album — like sitting in on a recording session.
Yet the challenge of distribution is still an important battle for up and coming artists who fund their own recordings. Many are still unable to get their music on to iTunes, which has more 70 percent of all digital sales in countries like the United States.
This is how TuneCore.com helped Eric Stiner, a 33-year old New Yorker who recorded for two bands Boy/Girl and Kill Kill Kill while completing his PhD in evolutionary biology at City University of New York.
"It's near impossible to get music up on iTunes, TuneCore made it really easy," said Stiner.
And what about selling CDs in stores?
"The CD is dead to us," Stiner said. "It really only exists for us for demo purposes and radio stations. Digital music is more economical, more eco-friendly and way easier for distribution."

That's actually why we founded the company. There's simply no reason for all those barriers to entry anymore. Digital distribution is fast, efficient, and the "shelves" are infinitely long. Let the artist in, don't handcuff them by taking a cut, let their music go as far as it can take them.
Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to drop me a line if with questions about TuneCore or the industry.
We operate in the same way tunecore does, although if i do say so myself we are cheaper, faster and have more coverage.
We also help artists collect airplay royalties, gain chart placements and we have our own national TV show, so feel free to check us out or drop me an email with any questions on the "industry" as Peter so elequently put it.

Sam Morris / Las Vegas Sun
Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013 | 9:31 p.m.

The chants started before kickoff and got more unprintable as hundreds of UNR fans pushed tighter and tighter into a fence holding them back from UNLV's victory parade.
After it was over, after the Rebels snapped an eight-game series losing streak and took back the Fremont Cannon with a 27-22 victory in Reno tonight, those clad in blue wanted nothing more than to get out of Mackay Stadium. Holding them up in the east corner of the stadium were steel gates and guards holding the line for UNLV to stream off the field and into the visitor's locker room.
Wolf Pack fans lobbed every known obscenity and a few made-up insults at the players and coaches wearing red. Each one made the Rebels bounce a little higher and scream a little louder as they marched in to celebrate with the heaviest trophy in college football, which is in for a new paint job.
"Coming off when you know you've got the win, you did what you came here to do, (the insults) made the smile much bigger," said quarterback Caleb Herring. "No matter what was said we got the win. We got the cannon and we're going back to Vegas as winners."
Two years ago Herring came into this stadium off the worst game of his career against Southern Utah and topped it, completing only 1-of-14 passes with an interception in a 37-0 loss. To go from that to tonight's 29-of-42 performance -- including three touchdowns and 335 yards -- is nothing short of remarkable.
His turnaround isn't the only reason UNLV is in its current position — 5-3 overall and 3-1 in the Mountain West, one victory from its first bowl game since 2000 — but it's a good place to start. There's also running back Tim Cornett, who went from officially listed as doubtful Tuesday to his 14th career 100-yard game (122 yards and one touchdown on 26 carries).
"I'm going to cry tonight," Cornett said. "This is my fourth year, going through the same stuff every year. To finally pull it out, especially in their home, is really big."
Herring wouldn't reveal when the team knew Cornett would play but he hinted that it wasn't as uncertain as most believed. Cornett's presence proved large in a game where backups Shaquille Murray-Lawrence and Adonis Smith carried the ball only once each.
"It's always good to go into war with every (available) weapon," Herring said.
Speaking of weapons, Herring's favorite target Devante Davis piled up 121 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches. Davis was relatively quiet through three quarters until he caught three passes on one drive, including the decisive points on an 11-yard route where Davis beat his defender in man coverage.
That score put UNLV ahead by 11 and it will be played for years on Rebels highlight tapes. It came in a victory that was years in the making. So was the celebration.
"It was better than I hoped it would be," Davis said of the postgame locker room. "When we're going through Ely, and we're fighting from after the season through the summer grind, through everything this game is always in the back of your mind."
UNLV wasn't perfect. Murray-Lawrence's fumble blew great field position in the first half and poor clock management allowed UNR to take a 16-14 lead at halftime. That score held until Cornett carried multiple bodies into the end zone for the go-ahead score with 11:46 remaining.
Although its day included giving up a wide-open 61-yard touchdown pass, UNLV's defense once again had a stellar second half and a good overall game. In the final 30 minutes the Rebels held the Wolf Pack to 165 total yards and one touchdown. UNR didn't get a first down in the third quarter and finished the game 2-of-15 on third downs. UNR was also 1-for-3 on fourth downs, including the game's final meaningful play.
After the Wolf Pack cut the score to 27-22, they gave UNLV a huge field position swing with two late-hit penalties on the kick return. That gave the Rebels 30 extra yards that they used to put UNR at its own 12 with 2:15 on the clock and needing a touchdown to keep the cannon.
UNLV needed a defensive stop to win the game, a position the players relished but few outsiders felt overly confident in. After all, two weeks ago this same unit gave up a would-be game-winning score to Hawaii before the offense came storming back.
This time the offense only needed to come out for the victory formation.
"Most exciting defensive series I've ever watched. The game was in their hands," Herring said. "We did our part to get out and the defense did their part to keep them down."
On fourth and 4 from his own 40, UNR quarterback Cody Fajardo threw short to his right. The play was broken up by junior Tajh Hasson, who earlier in the game was burned for a long gain.
"I made a mistake earlier but got it back," Hasson said. The defensive star of the game was senior Frank Crawford, who had an interception and set up Cornett's score with a fumble recovery.
At the start of the fourth quarter, UNR imitated Wisconsin by playing House of Pain's "Jump Around" over the PA system. It seemed to pump up the Rebels, including coach Bobby Hauck, as much as anybody. Hauck stalked up and down the sidelines waving his arms up and down, imploring his players to believe in the mission he started nearly four years ago.
Hauck often talks about the extra weight of college rivalry games, of the feeling it creates in the participants on both sidelines. He loves it. That was never more evident than the brief images reporters saw of Hauck exiting the victorious visitor's locker room, arms draped around him and hands waiting to shake his.
From the chants to the playlist and, most importantly, the cannon packed up into a truck, the Rebels took everything from UNR tonight and made it their own. The Wolf Pack had eight years on top and they said plenty, but tonight Hauck's Rebels got the last word.
"This one's for our fans and our kids," Hauck said. "I love them."

South Dakota is one of the states that does not have a single central online state repository for searching historical newspapers, and they do use the Library of Congress Chronicling America site as their main site for searching old newspapers. There are a several free online newspapers on other sites and collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.
There are almost 1,500 newspapers that have been published in the Mount Rushmore State - certainly not all of them are searchable online. But there are several that are indeed available. So go for it - find your South Dakota ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives.
Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

HARRISONVILLE, Mo. -- More than a 150 people attended a candle light vigil at a Raytown home Monday night to remember 17-year-old Kalan Littlefield who drowned Sunday afternoon.
Friends said Littlefield fell off a jet ski on a private pond south of Harrisonville and drowned.
Major Jeff Weber with the Cass County Sheriff's Department said Littlefield was on the watercraft with another young man. Neither one was wearing a life-jacket and both fell, Weber said. Both struggled to get back on the jet. The other young man managed to make it to shore. Kalan did not. Friends said he was a decent swimmer but likely panicked when he fell into the water.
Authorities said Kalan was from Kingsville, Mo., but had previously attended Raytown High School. Friends remember him as a gifted athlete and someone who could make people feel special.
"There's just no words to describe what kind of pain I feel for him," said Brandon Thomas.
Thomas said he and Littlefield were like brothers -- having spent most of their time together since the age of five.
The Thomas' said they were like a second family to Littlefield.
"He's in a better place looking down on us and trying to give us strength," Ms. Thomas said.
A Facebook page has been set up in Littlefield's honor.
On Friday night another man -- and former student of Raytown High School -- Brett K. Baslee, 26, drowned at Longview Lake.
