Topic: Super Smash Brothers Melee
((If you aren't alloud to post non-Star Wars things here please just lock this topic...))
Who here plays Super Smash Brothers Melee? It is one of my absolute favorite games. Who are your favorite characters to play? Favorite stage? What about your favorite item? Also, what new characters do you expect to be in Super Smash Brothers Revolution?
The main character I play is Falco. I am absolutely great with him. I sometimes play Mewtwo for fun, but not for anything competitive, at least not yet. My favorite stage is Final Destination, I like it's simplicity. And, my favorite item is the Umbrella because I love doing ariel attacks with it.

WarMouse Meta Review
Are you currently in the market for a new mouse for your system? Are you constantly using macros and shortcut keys on your keyboard? Wouldn't it just be much easier if you could just have all of those shortcuts in the palm of your hand? Well WarMouse has come out with their Meta mouse, this mouse has a ton of features that may just be able to help you not only be more productive with your favorite applications but give you an edge in your favorite games. WarMouse has taken the time to program all of the extra buttons on the mouse for different applications and games with their different modes. I am very curious to see exactly how this mouse is going to perform when it is put up against the competition.
Closer Look:
Taking the first look at the packaging, you are going to see a large image of the WarMouse Meta with a nice and bright blue futuristic background image behind it, giving the impression that the Meta mouse is from the future. The top left hand corner of the package is where you are going to find the WarMouse company's logo, the top right hand corner you will find the text "Contains 64 game and application modes and the OpenOffice.org suite" letting you know exactly what the WarMouse Meta mouse is going to give you. Towards the bottom of the package, you will find the WarMouse Meta logo with the blurb "18 Button Laser Joystick Mouse 5600 DPI" which is a nice and easy way to describe the mouse. The WarMouse tag line "transcend the mouse" is printed in the bottom right hand corner of the package. When you take a look at the back of the box, you are going to see a closer image of the Meta mouse with a list of the features the mouse has. You are also going to see a nice description of the mouse and a few of the other features the mouse has. On one of the sides you are going to find a list of some more features of the mouse such as: 48 commands on 64 modes, takes the point out of point-and-click, analog/digital joystick, and "the king of all computer mice". The other side of the package is where you are going to find a list of the built in application and gaming modes.
When you open up the package, you are going to find the WarMouse Meta sitting inside of a white box nice and neatly with a clear plastic molded cover to keep it as well as the disc and cord in place during the shipping process to keep anything from being damaged. When you pull everything out of the package, you are going to find the WarMouse Meta itself as well as a disc that includes the drivers and software for the Meta as well as D'Fend Reloaded, and OpenOffice.org suite.
The WarMouse Meta mouse has typical overall computer mouse design to it, it has the buttons at the front of the mouse where your finger tips are located and it also has a scroll wheel in the center of the buttons. You are going to find a joystick on the left side of the mouse where your thumb usually rests, there is also a button behind the joystick. The front of the mouse has 16 buttons located where most other mice have the usual right and left click buttons.
Each side of the mouse has it's own set of buttons, you will find two larger ones on either side of the mouse with four smaller ones in the front and two larger ones at the top, there are a total of eight buttons on each side of the scroll wheel for a total of 16 buttons on just the front of the mouse. Each button has its own special function depending on what application you have open, these buttons will replace your keyboard shortcut keys, meaning you will have all of your shortcuts in the palm of your hand. The joystick on the left side of the Meta mouse takes the place of the usual two buttons on the side of a typical mouse.
The bottom of the WarMouse Meta, you will find the WarMouse logo printed at the top with WarMouse Meta printed below it. There is a barcode on the bottom of the mouse as well as a serial number printed towards the middle of the mouse. You are going to find the laser in the middle of the mouse where it typically is on all mice. The WarMouse Meta uses a USB connection to transfer data to your computer.
Now that we know what the WarMouse Meta mouse looks like, it's time to get the mouse setup and ready to be used.

Tools: Maps and Diagrams
Understanding how external media such as maps and diagrams influence spatial learning and reasoning is crucial to improving spatial learning and to education. Maps and charts highlight spatial relations that can be difficult, and at times impossible, to perceive on the basis of direct experience. For example, by looking at a map, one could easily see the relative spatial position of several cities across the United States. This information would be very difficult to acquire directly from travel or to describe in words. The unique perspective and scale of maps make perceptible, and cognitively tractable, spatial relations that might otherwise remain opaque. Thus maps can affect cognition and contribute to its development.
Furthermore, maps, charts, and diagrams are critically important to STEM education. Learning in geoscience, for example, depends on students' ability to understand and use complex maps that represent three-dimensional topography. To facilitate students' learning, we need to understand the challenges of learning from maps and other spatial representations.
The goals of our research on Maps and Diagrams are:
- To understand how the use of maps, charts, and diagrams contribute to spatial cognition and its development.
- To shed light on the process of understanding and learning from maps, using SILC's theoretical perspective and methodological tools, including gesture, analogy, and CogSketch.
- To determine how research on the spatial cognition and malleability contribute to understanding and enhancing the use of maps and diagrams in STEM education.

BELMONT, N.C. - Shayla Jackson registered a game-high 21 points as Belmont Abbey claimed a 62-54 victory over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action on Saturday night at the Wheeler Center. The Crusaders drained half of their total shots on the night improving to 6-8 overall, 5-3 in league play. The Lady Falcons suffer the loss falling to 5-10, 4-5.
Jackson poured in six of the first 11 Crusader points on the night forcing a Pfeiffer timeout at the 14:03 mark with an 11-3 lead. A pair of free throws and jumper later from Kelsey Long put the hosts up 20-6 midway through the first half. A basketball by Pfeiffer's Shelley Reese trimmed the deficit back into the single digits at nine with seven minutes remaining, but an 11-3 run by Belmont Abbey with four points from Candace Fox closed out the half for a 31-16 Abbey lead at the break.
Belmont Abbey maintained a lengthy double-digit lead in the second half as Jackson gave them one of their largest leads of the night, 35-16, just 83 seconds into the final 20 minutes. Baskets by the Lady Falcons' Brittany Cox and Christina Harvey cut the lead back to 11 twice in 41 seconds, but a fast 8-3 run thanks to Paula Regalado and Jackson put the Crusaders back up 16 at the halfway point.
The final run came in a three and a half minute span as Belmont Abbey turned a 12-point lead into a 21-point lead on triples by Melisa Foures, Brittaney Rice and Fox. A last ditch effort by the Lady Falcons, sparked by a 10-0 run, fell short as time ran out. Sam Craven had five of those final ten points while Reese had four.
Behind Jackson's 21 and eight assists, Long was the only other Crusader to finish in double-figure scoring with a dozen points. For Pfeiffer, Celeste Caudill led the way with a team high 17 points followed by Craven's 10. The Lady Falcons out-scored the Crusaders 38-29 in the second half, but could rebound from a 16-point first half shooting just 27%.
Belmont Abbey returns to action on Monday night hosting Converse at 7:00 p.m. while Pfeiffer entertains Coker on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

How would you translate a range of ages, e.g. 25 to 60? One English-Latin dictinary (Routledge) suggests ordo and series, and I am leaning toward the latter. I am rather unsure as I am just beginning with prose composition.
What about this phrase:
Incolae in varias series aetatum dividuntur ut eam illorum qui inter 25 et 60 annos nati sunt.
- series, ordo , or ???
- aetatum or aetatis? Why?
- Any better way to express the example part (ut...nati sunt)?

DETROIT - The Reverend Jesse Jackson was in Detroit Friday calling for residents to hold a nonviolent protest against the appointment of Kevyn Orr as the city's Emergency Financial Manager.
READ: Detroit EFM protestors snarl traffic on I-94 near Lodge Freeway
Jackson was joined by Congressman John Conyers and Detroit Councilwoman JoAnn Watson.
They said they are planning to file a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Detroit's EFM law, which takes effect Thursday, early next week.
READ: Detroit City Council members clash at Tuesday night community meeting
The civil rights leader told the Associated Press that turnaround expert Kevyn Orr's appointment by the state is a "constitutional crisis" because it usurps local control.
Jackson said, "Detroit cannot be reduced to a rummage sale."
Conyers and Peters asked the office to "conduct a study of the Michigan emergency manager law, including the operation of federally funded programs."
READ: Detroit emergency financial manager Kevyn Orr's back taxes still unpaid
In a statement, Conyers says it's "difficult to identify a single instance where an emergency manager has succeeded in turning around the financial fortunes of a city or jurisdiction."
Emergency managers have wide-ranging authority to mend a city's budget.
Benton Harbor, Pontiac, Flint, Ecorse and Allen Park are other cities currently under state oversight.

HBO Admits That Perhaps Cable-Free Access Might Possibly Make Sense One Day, Maybe
from the with-great-reservation dept
Slowly but surely, HBO seems to be softening on that whole "internet" thing that everyone keeps asking them to look into. We recently noted that they've acknowledged the need to make shows like Game of Thrones more widely available online for the international market, and now Reuters reports rumblings of corollary realization: offering HBO Go as a standalone service without a cable package might be a good idea. Or at least it's crossed their minds.
"Right now we have the right model," [HBO Chief Executive Richard] Plepler told Reuters on Wednesday evening at the Season 3 premiere of HBO's hit TV show "Game of Thrones." "Maybe HBO GO, with our broadband partners, could evolve."
Plepler said late Wednesday that HBO GO could be packaged with a monthly Internet service, in partnership with broadband providers, reducing the cost.
Customers could pay $50 a month for their broadband Internet and an extra $10 or $15 for HBO to be packaged in with that service, for a total of $60 or $65 per month, Plepler explained.
"We would have to make the math work," he added.
The folks at HBO seem intent on letting the world know that they know these demands exist—they're not stupid or blind, they just happen to be making a lot of money with things the way they are, thank you very much. But while there's often a lot of sense to the if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it mentality, the record and film industries serve as illustrative examples of why it may not be a great approach for content companies faced with new technologies. It's easier to experiment when you've got money, and HBO could be using these successful times to start piloting and ultimately launching an online-only service that is superior to the competition, both legitimate and otherwise. If they wait until the growing cable-cutter movement actually necessitates the shift, they could end up like those other industries—dragging their heels until someone else steps in to do the hard work (iTunes, Netflix), or offering ersatz late-to-the-game products of their own (Ultraviolet, Hulu).
Still, it's good to know that it's occurred to them. As for the idea of bundling it with ISP subscriptions, while it makes less sense than offering something to everyone who wants it, it's actually not a bad first step for a company that relies so heavily on partnerships with cable providers (who also happen to be ISPs). However, depending on how such a plan was implemented, it could raise a lot of issues around net neutrality, and could lead to a bundling problem that's just as bad as exists now with cable—especially if it's successful at first, and the providers try to pile on with all kinds of other content subscriptions. Since HBO is obviously going to take its sweet time with any online-only strategy, hopefully it at least realizes that solving the cord-cutting problem is a better goal than renewing and postponing it.

Unique birdhouses designed and handcrafted by Andrews University School of Architecture students, as well as university faculty and community members, will be auctioned off on Sunday, March 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the School of Architecture amphitheater on the campus of Andrews University. All funds raised in the auction are for the CERENID Mission Project (Center for the Rehabilitation of Children at Risk of Drug Addiction) in Lajas, Bolivia.
In late summer of 1995, the first group of students went to Bolivia to begin the construction of the first house for the children. Currently, there are 35 children from the ages of five to 12 years old at CERENID where they are overcoming drug-related or social problems. There is a great need for this type of facility in Bolivia, and as finances become available the capacity will be increased to accommodate 80 children.
This year's birdhouses are currently on display in the School of Architecture's Resource Center.
For more information, contact the School of Architecture at 269-471-6003 or visit their website at http://www.andrews.edu/arch.

Canada has one of the highest rate of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the world, with an estimated 1 in 340 Canadians living with the disease. While it is most often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, younger children and older adults are also diagnosed with the disease.
MS is currently classified as an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord). The disease attacks myelin, the protective covering of the nerves, causing inflammation and often damaging the myelin. Myelin is necessary for the transmission of nerve impulses through nerve fibres. If damage to myelin is slight, nerve impulses travel with minor interruptions; however, if damage is substantial and if scar tissue replaces the myelin, nerve impulses may be completely disrupted, and the nerve fibres themselves can be damaged.

Valken Buttress
Like Barrier Valken Buttress has two sides: West and South facing with a vague arete in between. The West Face is dominated by a 3m horizontal roof which spans over 25m of the wall, beneath which is a large orange slab. To confuse us this is called Barrier Cave. on the left side of this is a smaller tea cave.
Approach: as for Barrier, take the Kasteel Poort path until it cuts a steep ravine between Valken and Kasteel. Take this Ravine until a left path is found which ultimately goes on via Valken to Barrier.
Descent: as for Barrier the easiest is to walk down between Barrier and Valken then take the abseil to the base. This is called Barrier Ravine. Alternatively you could walk over and take Kasteel Poort down, but its not clear which is easier as they are both straight forward.
Slumber Crag ** F3 or 18
D. Berrisford, K. Fletcher, B. Kohler 1962
"Very Steep . Unlikely that anyone will fall asleep on it"
Start: Left of the Hottentot Cherry Tree situated to the left of Valken Face.
Pitch 1. 10m (F3 or 18) Climb directly up the face until its possible to step right using a flake- and up to the stance above.
Pitch 2. 9m (F3 or 18) Move up on to a block on the left then climb the face above until a sloping stance below an overhang is reached.
Pitch 3. 18m (F3 or 18) Climb 1m left then continue diagonally left on the face (delicate) before ascending to a small ledge, then climb the face above to another ledge. Traverse 2m right and climb up a short face, past a tree for 3m. Traverse left to some blocks, then up the the face to reach the ravine above.
Pitch 4. 15m (D) avoid the overhang above by climbing up right then left until a recess is reached. Climb the face until its possible to move diagonally left to a stance.
Pitch 5. 15m (E2 or 14) climb through the overhang above and continue up a 6m ridge right until traversing right underneath another overhang. Proceed to a stance above.
Pitch 6. 25m (E2 or 14) Climb onto a thin block that peters out to the right. Climb the face right of Valken Parapet for 9m. An overhanging face with large grips will be seen above. Climb this overhanging section, traverse 1-2m right, then proceed diagonally left to a stance.
Walk up the ridge to the top sections. The next pitch is in recess of a ridge right of the start of Valken Crag.
Pitch 7. 40m (E1 or 13) A Number os short recesses will be found to the right of the ridge. After 8m of climbing one reaches the first ledge. 10m of recess takes one to the next ledge,. A recessed corner with a large tree next to it is ascended for 22m for a bushy stance.
Pitch 8. 30m (F1 or 16) Climb about 2m up a coerner above the beacon, then traverse left to a recess with a number of flakes lying against it. Climb the recess to until it is possible to exit left. Traverse 6m left and break through to the right of an overhang. climb 8m up a recess to a large ledge.
Pitch 9. 35m (F1 or 16) Climb the vertical face left of Valken face
Valken Face **** E2 or 14

Valken Parapet *** F1 or 16
D. Carter, B. Fletcher, W. Martley 1949
Good route of moderate difficulty. Would be more popular but for the walk in the middle.
'Start: The route starts on the extreme left corner of Barrier Cave, about 3m Right of Valken Face, and 3m left of the Fireplace.
Pitch 1. 9m (F1 or 16) climb a small overhang at the corner and up a difficult crack to the ledge above.
Pitch 2. 26m (F2 or 17) Start midway between Face and Barrier Ravine routes. Climb a straight face for 6m until a small overhang is reached.step right then up another 4m to a ledge, continue up for 8m ( this is the crux of the lower sections. An easy crack slightly left is ascended for 6m. Stance beneath the the left of two cracks.
Pitch 3. 27m (E1 or 14) Climb the left crack and continue up the widening crack above to below an open face.
Pitch 4. 15m (D) Scramble the face directly above the slope below the upper buttress.
Pitch 5. Walk up to the upper sections which start about 13m from the corner overlooking Barrier Ravine.
Pitch 6, 37m (D) Ascend the easy face veering left to the ledge above, and then up a small exposed chimney to a higher ledge/
Pitch 7. 27m (F2 or 17) stand on a small ledge about 2m above the stance to a rail which allows one to traverse left into a shallow recess. Climb this to below a minor overhang, then traverse out to the left for about 5m, then up diagonally right to climb a small chimney, out for which you traverse diagonally left onto a large stance.
Pitch 8. 10m (D) Climb an easy chimney in a corner to the right, then up a short face to the next broad ledge.
Pitch 9. 15m (D) Walk along the ledge 30m to an obvious corner which is climbed all the way to the top of the buttress.
Penetration Face ** F3 or 18
K. Fletcher and J. Goedknegt
"The simian crux from the cave is a big challenge" in 21st century speak that means its a bouldery start. I also contest the grade here.
Pitch 1. 15m (G1 or 19)Climb the recess by standing on the block forming part of the fireplace. Climb the recess to the overhang, then traverse left for a meter to mantel for a ledge, then continue traversing left about 3m until one stances with Valken Parapet.
Pitch 2. 15m (F3 or 18) move diagonally right for 5m to a handrail which is followed for 2m to a corner on the right. Just a little left of the corner is a small stance, climb past it and continue 4m up the corner to a good stance.
Pitch 3. 15m (F3 or 18) Climb the face directly above bearing slightly left for 4m to an overhang section. Swing across (Right I think) to the bottom of an overhanging recess. Take the recess for 3m to where is joins an overhanging section, ascend this section for 3m then head diagonally left for 4m to a good stance (those grips appear to be rotten but are sound). . traverse 6m right to a large semi-detached block overlooking the crux of Valken Frontal.
Pitch 4. 20m (F2 or 17) Directly above the overhang shadowing the stance is a smooth face. to reach the face ascend the block on the right before moving left 3m. Climb up for 6m on small grips and traverse right to a small stance. Take another 6m face, moving left to a ledge.
Pitch 5. 10m (E1 or 13) 4m of flake climbing leads to the ceiling of an overhang. Traverse 6m right to a good stance below a large crack.
Pitch 6. 18m (F1 or 17) Climb up a short face into the crack before continuing to a small stance.
Pitch 7. 26m (E3 or 15) Climb 5m up the corner above to a small overhang. Traverse around the corner back into the crack, and keep on traversing onto the face on the right to a ledge. Proceed along the ledge for 7m. (Notes: Sorry for the bad grammar here, its verbatim out the 1978 guide)
Pitch 8. 24m (F3 or 17) Either climb 5m up and move to the fault, or climb the fault directly to the top of the Buttress.
Valken Frontal **** F2 or 17 B. Russel. L Schaff and L.C. Thomson 1949
A good and popular route with exposed and exciting pitches. This route is best described in Cape Peninsula Select, below is the original RD.
Start:Just around the corner of the right end of Barrier Cave, below a pocketed face.
Pitch 1. 12m (D) Start in the right hand corner underneath the overhang and climb to the stance.
Pitch 2. 10m (E2 or 13) Climb out 3m and then 7m to a dassie stance on the left. I lake this to mean 7m left to the dassie stance.
Pitch 3. (F1 or 15) Continue along the stance until a dassie crawl becomes too narrow, then descend about 3m. traverse on tiny holds to the corner and cntinue to a stance above a nose.
Notes: The direct route starts by moving up and around to the right to a narrow ledge on the extreme right hand edge of the overhang containing the cave. Stretch up to a small grip and move up the face past a slab block into the corner. Traverse left to the stance on the nose (F2).
Pitch 4. 25m (F2 or 17) Climb straight up for 15m, traverse 3m right then up onto a small block and continue to a stance to the right.
Pitch 5. 14m (F1 or 16) Climb straight from the right edge of the ledge onto the face and continue up over some packed boulders to a large stance on the right.
Pitch 6. 18m (E3 or 15) Ascend the staircase looking corner for 13m, at the top traverse onto the face then continue 5m to a small stance on the right.
Pitch 7. 28m ( E2 or 15) Climb the Fault straight above to the top of the buttress.
Valken Ravine ( Left Hand) Valken Ravine ( Right Hand)
Valken Crag ** F1 or 16
D.M. Carter, B. Fletcher, L. Scoble 1950
A pleasant route with a disjointed top section.
Start: about 6m left of the tree at the start of Valken Face.
Pitch 1. 8m (F2 or 17) Pull through a black corner. climb up about a meter on the face and traverse left to a small corner. Pull up, then move right and up to the ledge above.
Pitch 2. 9m (F1 or 16) Scramble left over a boulder to a small black amphitheater to the left of the second pitch of Barrier Ravine. Climb unto a small cave under an overhang, using the block to the left swing around the block and move up to a stance.
Pitch 3. Scramble up some minor rock-work and slog up Barrier Ravine to the upper sections. Where the slope abuts the main buttress, there is a large and apparent overhang. The Parapet Starts immediately to the left of the overhang, but Crag continues way over to the right where there is a square shaped overhang about 20m up. In a fault slightly to the right are the pitches which lead up to and turn this overhang. Scramble up about 6m to a large beacon.
Pitch 4. 15m (E3 or 15) Layback up the edge of some large clean-cut flakes, below an obvious fault to a stance about 6m up. Continue up a smooth, slightly overhanging right angled recess. Beneath the overhang at the top of the recess traverse left to a stance around the corner on top of the square overhang.
Pitch 5. 5m (E2 or 14) From a huge poised boulder on the left, climb a clean, mildly exposed face to a broad ledge.
Pitch 6. 7m (D or 12) The next stance is reached via an easy corner to the right.
Pitch 7. 10m ( E2 or 14) A tricky start up a crack for 3m. Above this, traverse left and up to a ledge 3m wide. The ledge to the left tapers down to about 0.5m. Continue aling for about 12m where the ledge boradens slightly before petering out on the face.
Pitch 8. 14m (E3 or 15) Climb 3m up a black projecting corner on the left face, to a narrow ledge. Traverse 5m left along this ledge where, by a wide step across onto a broken face a small stance 5m up and left is reached. {Sorry, the grammar here is horrendous, but this is a verbatim copied from the 1978 guide. Please climb it and better this!}
Pitch 9. 14m (E3 or 15) climb a 6m crack above the stance and continue up easy rock to a broad ledge. It is possible to traverse off from here.
Pitch 10. 23m (E2 or 14) Start up a corner 7m right. After a hard start the route veers right to the final beacon.

Essence: Sweet children, put a bead in your mouth, that is, stabilize in your original religion of peace and Maya will
not be able to do anything.
Question: Only one Shiv Baba is the Innocent Lord; why can no one else can be the Innocent Lord?
Answer: Because only Shiv Baba has no desires for Himself. He comes and becomes the children's Server. He liberates
you children from the slavery of Maya. He makes every child a master ocean of knowledge, similar to Himself. He fills
your aprons with the jewels of knowledge. No one else can be an altruistic server like Him. This is why only one Shiv
Baba is called the Innocent Lord.
Song: No one is unique like the Innocent Lord.
Essence for dharna:
1. Stabilize yourself in your original religion of peace. In order to be saved from Maya, keep a bead in your mouth.
2. Have unlimited disinterest in the old world. Before destruction, use everything you have in a worthwhile way.
Blessing: May you be an embodiment of happiness who dries the tank of tears with the heat of yoga and becomes cry-proof.
Some children say that they cry because so-and-so causes them sorrow. However, if the other person is causing it, why are
you taking it? Their duty is to cause it, but you don't have to take it. God's children can never cry. All crying has now finished:
crying with your eyes and crying in your mind. Where there is happiness, there won't be any crying. Having tears of love or
happiness is not said to be crying. So, dry the tank of tears with the heat of yoga. Consider obstacles to be a game and you
will become an embodiment of happiness.
Slogan: When you have the practice of playing your part as a detached observer, you will remain beyond all tension and
automatically pay attention.

120-foot cell tower proposed for Greens Farms site
A 120-foot-tall cell phone tower would be erected on a Greens Farms Road property, not far from Interstate 95 and Hillspoint Road, according to preliminary plans for the project.
The site at 92 Greens Farms Road is owned by Pradiv Mahesh, who said he has agreed to let the tower be built on his 1.86-acre property, pending the required approvals.
"I guess they felt this is a good location," Mahesh said Tuesday.
"We don't know what will happen here yet," he added. "We haven't gotten any particulars. That will all happen somewhere down the road."
A legal notice for the plan, published Feb. 14 in the Westport News, states the 120-foot monopole would be built by North Atlantic Towers and set within a 35-by-64-foot fenced, gravel compound.
The tower's wireless service provider would be AT&T.
Michael Libertine of All Points Technology Corporation in Killingworth, a company collecting data on the proposal, agreed the timeframe for the plan is uncertain. He said there's been a "set back" in getting the project moving ahead because of "all the snow" this winter.
That has held up tests at the site, he said.
Mahesh said other details of the plan, such as whether he would move from his home on the property if the project is approved, also have not been settled.
Libertine said that, in general, the local Board of Selectmen and the Planning & Zoning and Inland Wetlands commissions are made aware of the plan just prior to the cellular company submitting its formal plans.
First Selectman Jim Marpe said this week he has not been contacted about the project.
And some members of the Greens Farms Association Board of Directors said they only learned of the plan after seeing the notice in the Westport News.
"I'm not sure what it's all about," said Anne Beers, a board member of the neighborhood group. "We are just hearing about it."
Lois Sussman, also board member, said the proposal will be discussed at their next monthly meeting.
Sussman said she's not familiar with the property where the tower has been proposed, but added, "It's just barely Greens Farms."
"Our concern is that sometimes, by the time a notice appears, the company has already submitted plans to the Siting Council and they don't inform us of their meetings," she said. "And once the Siting Council makes a decision, well, that's it."
But Libertine said an application to the Siting Council won't be filed for a while. "It could be several months before a formal application is submitted," he said.
He said the town gets a minimum of 90 days, from the date of the application filing, to submit questions and also to set up a hearing for the public to comment.
"We can get a lot of helpful feedback during those hearings," said Libertine, who added he works primarily on historical issues associated with such projects.
That application includes a technical report and site plan. It would also demonstrate a need in the area for a cell tower, he said. That would include the need for enhanced coverage of a certain area or if it's a high-volume area, he said. "Carriers are constantly evaluating their systems," he added.
In choosing a location to build a cell tower, the company will designate a quarter-mile search area and look for possible locations within that zone, Libertine said. He said in the Greens Farms Road case, it appears they wanted to choose a location that was "very close to I-95 and Metro-North" railroad.
While most residents living closest to Mahesh's property could not be reached for comment, William Trefzger, of 99 Greens Farms Road, who said he is aware of the plan, said he wouldn't mind a tower nearby.
"It's all about communication," said the 85-year-old Trefzger. "If it's needed, it's needed,"

Joe Wardle has committed his long-term future to Huddersfield Giants after signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2017.
The 21-year-old centre has made 57 appearances for the Giants. scoring 30 tries for current Super League leaders.
Head coach Paul Anderson is delighted with the new deal, with Wardle a key figure in his long-term plans.
"We are pleased to recruit Joe on a long-term deal at the Giants," Anderson told reporters. "He has matured as a player since his arrival at the club and, as he is only 21, I believe that his best years are still ahead of him."
Wardle stated his desire keep improving and aims to help bring success to the Giants.
"I am pleased to have signed a new deal. The way the club has progressed over the past few years and the way it continues to progress, wanting to win things, it would be stupid to want to be anywhere else," explained Wardle.
"I am sure that my best years are ahead of me. I will continue to try my best and improve and hopefully i will continue to play because of that."
Wardle has gone from strength to strength since his arrival at the Galpharm Stadium in 2011 after making the switch from Bradford Bulls.
Huddersfield Giants find themselves top of the Super League table with 34 points after their victory over Castleford on on Sunday, and will look to extend their point advantage over Wigan when they meet Salford on August 4.

Drivers on the Eastern Shore of Maryland who take the Unionville Road bridge over the Miles River are treated to a view of Gothic church ruins. These are what is left of St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, which was finished in 1839. The money for the church was donated by Miles River Neck landowners who wanted a parish closer than the one in nearby St. Michaels, Md. It was one of the first Gothic Revival churches on the Eastern Shore.
The walls are made of granite. The church was deemed structurally unsound in 1900 and it continues to crumble. A photo of the ruins in "Where Land and Water Intertwine" (1984) shows a turret at the front of the church, but it has since fallen away.
These ruins are not to be confused with Dundee Chapel, a circa 1720 church built further inland in Tunis Mills near what is now the intersection of Unionville Road and Todd's Corner.
Information for this post came from "Where Land and Water Intertwine, An Archictectural History of Talbot County, Maryland" by Christopher Weeks (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1984), pages 105-106.
