Memorial Day in Fairfield will be a day filled with pancakes, a parade and a picnic.
The annual parade steps off at 10 a.m. Monday, led by four marshals this year: Rolf Marx, from American Legion Post 74; Peter Luzetsky, of American Legion Post 143; Joe Lebinski, from Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9427; and Tim Kelly, from the Disabled Amercian Veterans.
"We get a tremendous amount of people," said Thomas Quinn, the Memorial Day Parade Committee chairman. "From what I hear, it's one of the largest crowds in Connecticut, if not the largest."
Other weekend events include a memorial sea ceremony on Saturday morning at South Benson Marina and a Knights of Columbus memorial Mass on Sunday at Our Lady of the Assumption Church,
The parade -- with many units reflecting the celebratory theme of the town's 375th anniversary -- starts on the Post Road at South Pine Creek Road, and continues east through downtown, turns right onto Old Post Road at the Fairfield Public Library, continues past the reviewing stand in front of Old Town Hall, and disbands at South Benson Road.
Among the participants in the parade will be a long line of marchers, floats, bands, armed forces veterans, Little League teams, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, classic cars, civic clubs and the Pyramid Shriners Motor Patrol, a perennial favorite.
"The townspeople have really gravitated toward it," Quinn said, of the parade. "It's very patriotic and we're honoring people who served and died. People are a lot more sensitive these days to the sacrifices people have made."
Quinn said he thinks another one of the parade's attraction is the tradition.
"Every year, the volunteer committee, along with (Town Clerk) Betsy Browne, really work hard in putting together all of the bands and marching groups," he said. "That makes a difference."
There is no rain date for the parade, but Quinn isn't worried about the weather, unlike three years ago.
"It was raining all night and all morning," he recalled. "That was dicey, but I said, `No, we're going to march,' and the clouds broke and the sun came out."
Rotary Club members will be along the parade route to collect donations for its food drive.
For anyone looking for some sustenance before the parade, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 661 Old Post Road, right next to the reviewing stand, will host its traditional pancake breakfast from 7:30 a.m. to noon, with proceeds benefitting the church's outreach programs.
For those who work up an appetite during the parade, the Fairfield Museum and History Center's annual Community Picnic takes place from noon to 3 p.m. Bring blankets and picnic baskets for an afternoon of exhibitions, games, sack races, watermelon eating contests and more. Refreshments also will be sold by the Kiwanis Club and the Brick Oven pizza truck. There is no charge to attend, and the museum will also be open with free admission.
Saturday, Sunday eventsRead Full Article
Prior to Monday's events, the annual Memorial Sea Ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday at the South Benson Marina gas dock, with a special dedication to the late David W. Russell, the former fire chief, who was one of the event's founders.
A highlight of the ceremony will be the laying of a memorial wreath in Long Island Sound amid a flotilla of boats.
On Sunday, the Knights of Columbus, Assumption Council #11077, will sponsor its 20th annual Memorial Day Service at Our Lady of the Assumption Church, 545 Stratfield Road.
The service will start at noon with a memorial Mass celebrated by Monsignor Ernest Esposito. A military service to honor the war dead will take place on the parish grounds immediately following the Mass.

That is a great video!
I'm so disappointed, I just sat my 3 year old down to watch it and asked if he'd like to do that one day.
He said no.

You can't practice Judo just to win a Judo Match! You practice so that no matter what happens, you can win using Judo!The key to fighting two men at once is to be much tougher than both of them.

That doesn't mean you can't start "training" him. I bought my son some little boxing gloves and I let him hit me in the face with them. He loves that, and with just a little encouragement, he's already starting to throw more straight punches instead of girly haymakers. I also wrestle with him a lot, just so he can start getting a feel for it.
I imagine he'll develop an interest in martial arts just from growing up around it, but I won't push him. Martial arts is something you have to love to be good at. Otherwise, you won't have the will to keep pushing yourself to improve. Having said all that, it's awesome what those kids in the video are doing.

They're all affordable, portable, and they pack a flavor punch.

It's hard to imagine a more satisfying meal than these sweet potato burgers. It's a delicious patty made from sweet potatoes mixed with an exciting combination of spices, all stacked up with crunchy vegetables!
Makes 2 burgers
Prep time: 30 minutes
For the patties:
1 large sweet potato
sea salt
1 shallot
½ bunch of chives
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tbsp dried marjoram
pinch of ground cumin
pinch of ground allspice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp plain or gluten-free flour
½ cup (40g) fresh breadcrumbs
2½ tbsp canola oil
For the burgers:
2 large burger buns
vegan barbecue sauce
handful of salad leaves
small piece of cucumber, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
handful of cilantro leaves
1. To make the patties, peel the sweet potato, chop into little pieces, and cook for 10–15 minutes in salted water, until tender. Drain in a sieve. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Snip the chives finely. Use a potato masher to mash up the sweet potato with the shallot and chives in a large bowl until evenly combined. Stir in ½ tsp salt, pepper, the paprika, marjoram, cumin, allspice, and mustard. Add the flour and mix everything thoroughly again.
2. Spread the breadcrumbs out on a plate. Shape 2 even patties from the potato mixture and turn them in the breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the patties over a medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the pan and leave to drain on some kitchen paper.
3. Split the burger buns in half, toast them, and spread the cut surface with barbecue sauce. Top the lower halves with salad leaves, then a patty, cucumber and tomato slices, and some cilantro. Wrap in saran wrap. If desired, add some extra barbecue sauce.

(Literary Essentials: Nonfiction Masterpieces)
Durkheim and Mauss array themselves at the outset of the work against "Logicians" and "Psychologists," both of which, they argue, treat the process of classifying things, events, and facts about the world as at worst innate and at best individually constituted; that is, they assume that there is one essentially uniform way of ordering the world that is common to all people. In contrast, Durkheim and Mauss mobilize the anthropologist's ubiquitous argumentative weapon: the historical and crosscultural variability of nearly any human phenomenon. Indeed, they contend, that which is commonly understood as classification is of rather recent origin, having its true birth in the thought of Aristotle. This historical origin of logical classification presupposes an extended prehistory, during which humanity (or at least one part of it) gradually removed itself from its original "state of indistinction."
Durkheim and Mauss document this indistinction, or "mental confusion," which, they argue, is in places and at times so extreme that "the individual himself loses his personality." Human consciousness, in its primitive state, is a continuous and unregulated flow of representations bleeding into one another. The phenomenon of totemism—the belief in a relation of consubstantiality between members of a social group and a category of things (for example, bears, eagles, and lightning)—is a vestigial product of this sort of thought. The primitive inability to distinguish aspects of the world is taken as evidence that in the beginning, at least, humanity lacked the capacity to classify and that, consequently, such a capacity must be acquired from somewhere.
If it is not the human mind which provides this model, as a priori philosophers such as Immanuel Kant would have it, then perhaps the groupings and relations of things are inherent in the things themselves; perhaps, as David Hume and the empiricists claimed, it is nature itself which indicates how things should be perceived. Durkheim and Mauss reject this option as well, arguing that the inherent resemblances of things are not sufficient to determine the complex schemata by which they are apprehended. Having rejected both of these solutions, Durkheim and Mauss resolve the situation by, as Steven Lukes, Durkheim's biographer, has put it, "restating the old epistemological questions in sociological terms."
The sociological thesis is boldly stated at the outset of the first chapter on Australian (aboriginal) classification. The Australian tribes are generally divided into two major, complementary sections called moieties, and each moiety is composed of two marriage classes (within which marriage is proscribed) composed of a number of clans, or groups of people of common descent. "The classification of things," Durkheim and Mauss argue, "reproduces this classification of men." Among the tribes of the Bellinger River, for example, all nature is divided into two classes corresponding to male and female. Such schemes are often overlaid by another corresponding to the four marriage classes; thus, one group will be associated with a certain set of natural species and things (for example, opossum, kangaroo, dog), another group with a different set (for example, emu, bandicoot, black duck). On the basis of such examples, Durkheim and Mauss draw the analogy between moiety and genus on the one hand, and marriage class and species on the other.
Yet it soon becomes clear that...

With the interest-rate decision looming, yesterday morning was a jittery old time for many. On Bloomberg Radio, however, the UK rate was barely mentioned. From its New York base, our credit crunch and housing troubles look piffling by comparison. Ken Prewitt, the fast-talking anchor of the early morning First Word show, kept returning to monster statistics closer to home. The US, he drawled, has 3.91m unsold homes, and estimates suggest that 2m more will be added to the total this year due to repossessions. Gulp.
There is no time, however, for gulping on First Word. Its delivery is at first hilariously, and then hypnotically, speedy; so fast and acronym-stuffed that it's almost impossible to follow. It is also sprinkled with adverts that slip into the mix so seamlessly you think they are part of the programme. This is especially alarming when you hear George Bush encouraging us to volunteer ("When you help your neighbour, you help your country"). Everything is frantic, and pressurised, and not a world away from The Day Today. Full of mysterious terms ("a kitchen sink quarter") volleyed from the studio, it makes our own financial radio programmes seem wonderfully doddery by comparison.

sun cover

I bought the sun cover at the beginning of spring and I'm so glad I did. I love that it keeps the sun off my baby and also is breathable and she is able to see quite clearly out of it. Would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys walking in summer (or even just out and about running errands)

bought for the smart Lux stroller, nice bag that attaches to the stroller for storage. Keeps the sun off, does not fasten securely around the sides so can't imagine it will keep the bugs out.
Adequate - could do with some tweaks

15/04/2015 16:513/5
I walk my three year old to kindy every morning, and I take my four month old twins along for the ride in my Promenade, which I have set as a tandem (seat above, second seat below). I purchased the sun cover for the second seat, as I find the large hood on the top seat blocks the sun really well. Unfortunately the sun cover does not completely block the sun. I still need to use a muslin, which means the baby cannot see out. The cover is also really difficult to attach and does not stay on - there are no clips or harnesses to keep it in place, so every time I put my baby in/take her out I need to reattach the cover, which is very inconvenient.

Pakistani actress Mona Lizza in Murder 3Follow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
One has to give it to the Bhatts for having a hawk eye in spotting new talent. After featuring Mallika Sherawat and Jacqueline Fernandez in the Murder series, the Bhatts are now all set to introduce a brand new hottie in the third installment of the same.
She is a Pakistani beauty who goes by the name Mona Lizza (whose screen name is Sara Loren). For those who are unaware, she is the same girl who made her 'official debut' in Pooja Bhatt's Kajra Re a couple of years ago. News reports have it that Mona was chosen because the Bhatts saw her potential to sizzle up the screen with her sex appeal and they are super confident that she would make the same impact as Mallika and Jacqueline did.
There were certain reports in the media that Mona has replaced the film's original lead actress Aditi Rao Hydari. To which, Aditi's manager responded back stating that Aditi is very much the heroine of the film and that she is presently in South Africa shooting for the film. Mukesh Bhatt too rubbished the 'news' about Aditi's exit from the film. "It's just not true. Aditi is very much in the film." He also added that, "The film is a two heroine-one hero project."
This film not just marks the directorial debut of Mukesh Bhatt's son Vishesh, but also will see Randeep Hooda as the leading man and instead of Murder's permanent fixture and Bhatts' blue eyed boy Emraan Hashmi.
With the sequels working well for the Bhatts, Murder 3 is surely to be looked forward to.

Many "sexxy" pictures but NONE of them are nude. (there are a few where parts of her breasts are exposed and some in skimpy outfits)
Kaitlin Pearson, a 23-year-old teacher's aide at a Fitchburg elementary school, has been placed on paid administrative leave after some racy photos were sent to school officials.
She was not hiding the partially nude photos which are available online and in ModelsMania magazine.
In an interview with CBS Boston, her father said, "That's her private life. She's 23. She's a grown up woman."
Fitchburg administrators said that they do background checks on all possible employees but do not check social media websites for any compromising content.

I dont think she has done any different from what society dictates. As a matter of fact I have notice quite a few posts lately of some of you showing your bodies. If she shouldnt teach children then I guess all of you that show your bodies on the internet better loose your children and jobs too.
my sister is a teacher and i cant tell you the pains she takes to make sure her reputation stays clean.

For decades, whiskey lovers around the world pretty much had four countries to choose from: Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the U.S. But Japan has been making delicious whisky for nearly as long as those others, and in the last few years, Japanese whisky's popularity has absolutely exploded.
When the 2015 edition of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible—among the most influential whiskey guides (and written, it should be noted, by an Englishman)—named a Japanese whisky the best in the world for the first time, Scotch geeks were shocked, calling it a sea change. The fact is that Japan has been making some incredible whiskies for decades—cult favorites that are becoming harder and harder to find—and it's time to acknowledge that Land of the Rising Sun is, on the whole, creating the best whiskies in the world right now. With its combination of deep respect for tradition and incredibly skilled blenders crafting unfathomably complex bottlings, Japan's distilling industry is making exactly the kind of booze in-the-know drinkers are looking for.
The numbers don't lie: In just two years (from 2013 to 2015), U.S. sales of Japanese whisky have quintupled. Connoisseur-favorite bottlings are nearly impossible to spot in stores and are selling on the secondary market for thousands of dollars. Needless to say, Japanese whisky is so hot right now.
Johnnie Mundell calls the spirit's rise in popularity a "cosmic convergence". A native of Scotland, Mundell had served as West Coast brand ambassador for several different Scotch whiskies before jumping over to Suntory, the largest Japanese whisky maker, last year. He actually traces the beginnings of the current trend way back to 2003, when Bill Murray and Lost in Translation introduced most Americans to the existence of Japanese whisky—and Suntory specifically. Japanese whisky started to catch on among hardcore whiskey geeks and bartenders as much as a decade ago, building gradually until the explosion of the last couple years.
Mundell says what makes Japanese whisky unique is "cultural terroir." "It's not just the ingredients and the places they come from but also the mindset of the people making the whisky," he says.
In Japan, that means looking to the past for inspiration. "Respect for tradition is deeply embedded in Japanese culture, and for that reason the whisky there is made very traditionally," says Robin Robinson. The former national brand ambassador for boutique Scotch brand Compass Box, Robinson today is a consultant to a variety of craft spirits brands and has taught classes on Japanese whisky at New York's Astor Center for the last few years. Many Japanese distilleries use old-fashioned equipment like 150-year-old still designs, wooden fermentation vats and using direct flame instead of steam for distillation. "In reality, Japanese whisky is probably more traditional than Scotch right now," Robinson says.
The history of whisky in Japan actually stretches back nearly a century, and ironically, the same man is largely responsible for the birth of the country's two largest brands. In 1918, the scion of a sake-brewing family named Masataka Taketsuru traveled to Scotland to learn whisky-making. Taketsuru apprenticed at three different Scotch distilleries, studied at the University of Glasgow and married a Scotswoman named Rita, who would return to Japan with him in 1920 (she became a beloved figure in her adopted country and is known today as the mother of Japanese whisky). Taketsuru was hired by liquor importer Shinjiro Torii to open Japan's first distillery. That distillery was Yamazaki, and Torii's company later changed its name to Suntory. Ten years later, Taketsuru left Yamazaki to start his own company—Nikka—and opened a distillery in Yoichi.
Many drinkers think of Japanese whiskey as similar to Scotch, but that's only part of the story. Though there are 100-percent-barley Japanese single malts, the nation's distillers also make more bourbon- or Irish whiskey-like spirits from a corn-heavy mix of grains. That's actually one of the country's whisky strengths: There are only around a dozen active distilleries in Japan, but each one makes a variety of whisky styles and ages them in a variety of barrels. "Single malt Scotch is generally considered better than blended Scotch, but that's reversed in Japan: Blends are more highly sought-after than single malts," Mundell says. They take the art of blending very seriously in Japan—one master blender is known for eating the exact same lunch every day so as not to throw off his palate.
"Japanese whisky compared to Scotch is something like ballet compared to modern dance," says Andrew Friedman. The owner of Liberty, Friedman has assembled one of Seattle's best whiskey selections with some 400 bottles, anywhere between 8 and 20 of which come from Japan, depending on availability. Friedman originally opened Liberty a decade ago with a focus on American whiskey, but a flight-attendant friend who was in Japan several times a month starting bringing back whiskey for him about five years ago, and he was hooked.
"I discovered Yoichi 15, and it was a revelation." Friedman says. "Japanese whiskey has all the flavors you'd expect from Scotch but also adds other elements." One aspect that's truly unique to Japan is mizunara oak, a cousin of the American and European species most often used to make whisky barrels. Mizunara oak is exceedingly expensive, so it only makes up a small portion of the barrels used in Japan, but it adds subtle sandalwood and incense notes that can really only be found in the nation's whisky.
Friedman is also not shy about using Japanese whisky in cocktails. He recommends mixing it with stone fruit, citrus peels (but not juice, which can overpower the whisky), lemongrass and amari.
Despite its unique characteristics, Japanese whisky is also fairly subtle. "Generally speaking, Japanese whisky has the volume turned down," says Stephanie Moreno, spirits director and editor for booze-discovery app Distiller. "That subtlety and elegance means you discover different flavors as you taste it." Moreno previously worked for six year as the spirits buyer at New York's Astor Wines & Spirits, which put her in the right place at the right time to get deep into Japanese whisky.
Moreno says social media and the Internet have made an important contribution to Japanese whisky's widespread popularity, as whiskey lovers can find peers and share favorites around the world. "The consumer has changed," she says. "People used to stick to one brand their entire lives, but we don't do that as much anymore. We want to try everything."
Because Japanese whisky has gotten so expensive, Moreno suggests you taste before you buy a whole bottle: Order an ounce or two at your local whiskey bar, or snag tickets to one of the many whiskey-tasting events held around the country.
With that in mind, here are a few Japanese bottles to try. (One thing to note: I have excluded whiskies made from rice from this piece. Though they can be quite tasty—Kikori was one of my favorite new bottles of last year—they are a very different beast. In fact, rice-based spirits can't even be labeled as whisky in Japan.)
In Japan, the humble highball is raised to an art form, and Mundell raves about this Suntory single malt mixed into one. Even if you can't make it to the distillery to have one at the incredible bar there, it's still delicious with club soda. Friedman also calls it "one of the best whiskies I've ever had."
Masataka Taketsuru chose to open his company Nikka's first distillery in the town of Yoichi, on Japan's northernmost island, because he thought it had ideal terroir. And the distillery's 15-year-old is still considered an archetypal Japanese whisky. Subtle fruit and nuts yield to a long, long finish with hints of spice and smoke. (Nikka is phasing out age-stated whiskies like this one, though, so it's tough—and only getting tougher—to find. Taketsuru Pure Malt is a good alternative: It's a mix of whisky made at both of Nikka's distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo)
Another pair of whiskies from Nikka, these two bottlings are distilled (the first from a mix of grains, the second from only barley) on an early model of the modern column still (which was invented by Aeneas Coffey; these whiskies have nothing to do with coffee.) Robinson calls the malt version "gorgeously delicate and yet rich," and Moreno says it's ideal for bourbon drinkers who want to get into the category. (And on the upside, both bottles are among the easiest Japanese whiskies to find.)
Keep an eye out for any of the hard-to-find whiskies from this upstart distillery, founded in 2007 by Ichiro Akuto, whose family ran the now-closed Hanyu Distillery. Though the whiskies are comparatively young, they're beloved by in-the-know connoisseurs. Though it's a competitor with Mundell's Suntory brands, he says "I have the utmost respect for anything made at that distillery."
You'll find this Suntory bottling exceedingly difficult to track down, but Moreno says it's well worth it: "Time stopped when I tasted this." The depth of different fruits you'll find in the spirit as you sip it is just astonishing. (For a more realistic alternative, you can also look for Hibiki Japanese Harmony, a non-age-statement bottling that Robinson says highlights Japan's masters of whisky blending.)
One of Robinson's favorite Japanese bottles, Iwai comes from the Mars Shinshu distillery, which reopened in 2012 after being shuttered for a decade. Located just south of Nagano in the Japanese Alps, it's the country's highest-elevation distillery. Iwai has a corn-heavy mashbill, giving it bourbon-like vanilla and oak notes, along with complex fruit and spice notes from aging in a wide variety of barrel types.

ROOM sizes, sewer improvements and the protection of the countryside have been highlighted in an important document set to determine land use around Bognor Regis for the next 15 years.
The dozens of policies which make up the bulk of Arun District Council's latest draft plans have been backed by its local plan sub-committee last night (Thursday, January 30).
They will go before all councillors on Tuesday, February 11 for final approval. They omit the controversial matter of large scale housing sites.
These will be decided at later meetings before the complete draft version is sent to the government for an examination in public by a planning inspector.
Once this has been completed, the plan will take effect and determine the shape of the district well into the next decade.
Simon Meecham, Arun's head of planning policy and conservation, said it was important the plan was decided quickly to stop developers trying to take advantage of the fact the council's current planning policies go back to 2013.
"We want to get the local plan on track as fast as we possibly can and ensure the non-contentious issues in it can take affect as soon as possible," he said.
"This will allow the development control committee to begin to use them and to road test them as to how they might begin to influence their decisions on developments submitted to us for consideration," he added.
But councillors were warned the policies would still lack the weight of those from 2003.
The latest versions will only come into effect once the complete plan is sent to the government. It is not known when this will be.
Cllr Jacqueline Maconachie, the development control committee's chairman, said: "I want the public to know we are still vulnerable, although we can say this is an emerging plan.
"Whether that will have any truck with the planning inspectors, we will not know until we get there. There are quite a number of horticultural sites coming forward for housing applications.
"If we can't give some weight to this policy now, it is going to very much reduced in its effectiveness."
For a full report on the meeting see the Bognor Regis Observer out on Thursday, February 6.

NFL Power Rankings: How Week 7 Will Impact Every TeamOctober 17, 2012
Two Week 7 matchups feature intradivisional teams tied for first, and those games will go a long way towards sorting where the real power in the NFL resides.
It is not just about those two matchups in Week 7, either. There are a host of revealing games on tap.
So, as we approach this week, here are my current power rankings with a little blurb on how this week has the potential to alter how we view them.
Langford's Week 7 NFL Power Rankings
1. Atlanta Falcons
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
The Falcons will ride into the bye as the NFL's only undefeated team, but their close win at home over the one-win Raiders last week proved this team is far from flawless.
Let's see if this group attacks its bye determined to improve or ready to rest on its undefeated start.
2. Baltimore Ravens
Week 7 Opponent: at Houston
In one of the great games of this week, the Ravens will take on the Texans. This will be a big test for the Ravens' defense as it deal with absence of Ray Lewis and try to slow down the powerful and balanced attack of Houston.
If the Ravens pull this one off on the road, there will be no question who the best team in the AFC is.
3. Houston Texans
Week 7 Opponent: Ravens
Just like it is for Baltimore, this game is a huge test for the Texans' defense. That unit looked like a shell of itself as it was picked apart by Aaron Rodgers and the Packers last week as it dealt with the loss of Brian Cushing.
Perception of the Texans being a Super Bowl contender will rapidly change if they shred this defense.
4. New York Giants
Week 7 Opponent: Redskins
The Giants put the NFL on notice last week when they dismantled the 49ers. They showed the true promise of their offense in that game as the ground game looked dominant against a great run defense.
This week will be a bigger test for their defense, which looked similarly excellent last week, but the 'Skins offense is rolling.
5. San Francisco 49ers
Week 7 Opponent: Seahawks
After the 49ers' first loss of the season, they won their next two games by the combined score of 79-3.
They will be doing just fine if they can rebound in a similar fashion from this loss as their next two opponents are the two teams they are tied with atop the NFC West: the Seahawks and Cardinals.
6. Green Bay Packers
Week 7 Opponent: at Rams
The Rams have a great pass-rushing defensive line, and that makes this matchup an important one.
The Packers offensive front five have been inconsistent, and at times they've been overwhelmed by good defensive fronts. If they can keep the Rams' pass-rushers off Aaron Rodgers in this game, their season will be looking up.
7. Minnesota Vikings
Week 7 Opponent: Cardinals
The Vikings will try to keep their early season momentum going as they rebound from their late loss against the 'Skins last week.
This game will be a nice proving ground for the Vikings, and if their offense can hang at least 20 on the Cardinals, it bodes well for the rest of their season.
8. Seattle Seahawks
Week 7 Opponent: at 49ers
The Seahawks are creeping their way in the national spotlight with hard-hitting defense and late-game triumphs.
If they can go into San Francisco and pull out the victory, they will cement their status as one of the league's powers.
9. Arizona Cardinals
Week 7 Opponent: Vikings
Injuries are beginning to take their toll on the Cardinals, and it is becoming difficult to see ways this offense will be able to put up points.
A nice offensive showing against the strong defense of Minnesota will go a long way toward proving the Cardinals have staying power.
10. Chicago Bears
Week 7 Opponent: Lions
The Bears defense has been unreal as it is scoring enough to leave plenty of offenses jealous.
While I expect that defense to remain strong, it is not going to continue to score at this rate, and the offense needs to show it can consistently score to ease the doubts of whether this team can keep rolling when that happens.
11. New England Patriots
Week 7 Opponent: Jets
At 3-3, the Patriots are stuck with a giant pack of AFC teams looking to assert themselves. This is a well-balanced team that is still suffering mental lapses from its young defense.
If the Patriots truly are an elite team, they will make a big statement against the Jets to help ease the sting of last week's late defeat.
12. Philadelphia Eagles
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
The bye week comes at a great time for the Eagles. This team has some serious soul searching to do.
This is a team that needs to start playing more disciplined football in hurry and it has a quarterback who needs to learn how to hang onto the ball. If it can do that, this is a dangerous group.
13. Denver Broncos
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
The Broncos have become a team of two halves. For too many games, this team has spent the first looking terrible and the second looking elite.
This group needs to spend its bye week working on its consistency and finding some way to establish a rhythm right off the bat.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 7 Opponent: at Bengals
The Steelers have suffered through some uncharacteristic late-game collapses, like last week in their loss to the Titans.
This leaves them in third place in their division, a half game behind the Bengals and 2.5 behind the Ravens. They need a big intradivision road win to prove they can still be a factor in this competitive division.
15. Washington Redskins
Week 7 Opponent: at Giants
This is a golden opportunity for the budding Redskins to prove they are a legitimate playoff threat.
The 'Skins offense has proven it can hang with the big boys, but the defense is another matter entirely. If that defense does not improve, it will be doomed against the Giants.
16. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 7 Opponent: Steelers
Cincinnati blew a golden opportunity to jump to 4-2 last week by handing the Cleveland Browns their first win of the season. That ugly loss cast the playoff merit of this team in serious jeopardy.
They will go a long way toward erasing the sting of that setback with a win against the Steelers.
17. Dallas Cowboys
Week 7 Opponent: at Panthers
It is beginning to feel like the Dallas Cowboys are destined to be a team that dooms itself with self-inflicted wounds.
This team needs to start stringing together strong performances for 60 minutes, and that needs to start this week against the struggling Panthers.
18. San Diego Chargers
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
The Chargers enter the bye following an historic late-game collapse. They are now at a crossroad.
San Diego can either go to work on figuring out how to eliminate its many gaffes, or it can resign themselves to another season sitting outside of the playoff picture.
19. Detroit Lions
Week 7 Opponent: at Bears
The one-sided Lions' offense relies entirely too much on its passing game. It needs to find some balance in a hurry.
If the Lions don't begin to find that against the Bears, they will be doomed against Chicago's elite pass defense.
20. New York Jets
Week 7 Opponent: at Patriots
Given the turmoil in the Big Apple, it is hard to believe this group is 3-3.
That .500 record seems like a mirage given the many struggles of this offense and a porous run defense.
However, the mood surrounding the Jets will be entirely different if they can pull out this win.
21. Indianapolis Colts
Week 7 Opponent: Browns
After their emotional and sensational win over the Packers two weeks ago, the Colts laid a giant egg last week against the Jets.
They get a soft landing this week against the one-win Browns, and they must again prove that this is a young team on the rise.
22. Tennessee Titans
Week 7 Opponent: at Bills
The Titans have struggled in nearly all phases of the game this year, but they are coming off a thrilling win over the Steelers.
If Tennessee wants to make any noise this season, it must pull out a win against the vulnerable Bills.
23. Miami Dolphins
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
Given how terrible this team looked on Hard Knocks and what a disaster it was in the preseason, the Dolphins have to consider entering their bye with a .500 record a rousing success.
This team simply needs to continue to improve during the bye week and make sure Ryan Tannehill improves his efficiency in this offense.
24. Carolina Panthers
Week 7 Opponent: Cowboys
The Panthers went into the bye week dealing with the sting of a loss to the Seahawks that was largely due to Cam Newton throwing a potential late-game, go-ahead TD halfway to its intended target.
Cam has to start improving and this defense needs to show it can slow someone down against the Cowboys, or it will be time to start looking toward next year.
25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Week 7 Opponent: Saints
Tampa Bay is still very much a work in progress, but as it showed in its blowout win over the Chiefs last week, the Buccaneers are not without promise.
The Bucs must build on that while further burying their division rival.
26. St. Louis Rams
Week 7 Opponent: Packers
At 3-3, the Rams have been far more competitive than many expected. However, this offense is still struggling.
If the defense can keep the Packers in check and the offense does enough to pull out this win, they will make a huge jump in my power rankings.
27. Buffalo Bills
Week 7 Opponent: Titans
The Bills are .500, but I'm not buying it. This defense is terrible. While they held the Cardinals to 16 points last week, that is an Arizona team that is dealing with injuries and doesn't have the most potent offense to begin with.
If the Bills are going to be anything but a disappointment this year, they must come out and win a game they are favored to do so.
28. New Orleans Saints
Week 7 Opponent: at Bucs
The Saints' passing offense is still clearly elite, yet here it is with just one win.
If New Orleans is going to turn around this season, it has to build on the win it got last time out, while also proving it can win a road game.
29. Oakland Raiders
Week 7 Opponent: Jaguars
The Raiders looked vastly improved in their narrow loss in Atlanta last week. Now they get a home game where they are favored to win.
This is a golden opportunity for the Raiders to build on the strong play they displayed last week.
30. Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 7 Opponent: at Raiders
The Jaguars' offense is awful. It has scored 10 or fewer points in three of five games.
Everyone is Jacksonville will be desperately hoping for a breakout as it faces a fellow one-win team.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
Week 7 Opponent: Bye
Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn—it doesn't matter. The Chiefs are going to have to try and win while receiving terrible quarterback play.
This team enters the bye needing to figure out a way to do just that.
32. Cleveland Browns
Week 7 Opponent: at Colts
The Browns are not going to go win less! So they've got that going for them, and if they want to have anything more going for them, they must come out and beat a vulnerable Colts squad.

Hyundai details Ioniq; Prius-fighting hybrid will be first to market
Following several teasers and partial announcements, Hyundai has finally detailed launch plans for the 2017 Ioniq Hybrid.
The company claims the model will be the first vehicle to offer all-electric, mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains in a single body type. The basic hybrid will be the first variant to arrive on the market, taking aim at the dominant Toyota Prius.
The Ioniq Hybrid introduces a new 1.6-liter four-cylinder Kappa GDI engine, providing 104 horsepower and 108 lb-ft of torque. The gasoline mill is accompanied by a single electric motor, bringing combined output up to 139 ponies and 195 lb-ft of twist. Power is delivered via an six-speed dual-clutch transmission, newly developed with low-friction bearings and low-viscosity oil to maximize efficiency.
Engineers embraced a lithium-ion polymer battery pack, claimed to provide superior memory sensitivity when compared to traditional nickel-metal-hydride technology. The module has been placed underneath the rear seats for a low center of gravity and increased cargo volume.
The Ioniq's silhouette resembles the Prius, balancing Hyundai's latest design language and aerodynamic considerations. Unsurprisingly, both rivals share a drag coefficient of 0.24.
Unconfirmed reports suggest the mild hybrid has received a combined rating of 53 mpg (22.5 km/l) in Korea, slightly better than the Prius' 49 mpg (21 km/l) benchmark in the market, however it is unclear if Hyundai's new entrant will beat Toyota's fuel efficiency benchmark in the US and other markets.
Additional details surrounding a US launch could be announced at the New York auto show in late March.

That s why we re the only U.S. manufacturer to give all of our dishwashers a solid molded base.

It is in Maclean that I grew up with country ministry apologist Nathan. We are both at Bible College this year in different cities and I have a hankering had we been studying five years ago we would be at the same college.
The other day I posted on city-centric ministry, which via Nathan has sparked off some helpful discussions.
In response to Nathan's view of Sydney from Townsville (and now Brisbane) I counter;
1. The distribution of Moore College graduates is far and wide. The facts don't agree with the rhetoric. During our orientation at Moore we were challenged by Greg Anderson to set the record for overseas mission from our year - the record currently is 20% of a year heading into overseas ministry. As for leaving Sydney within Australia, it need not be stated because it happens already in large numbers.
7. Some people for the sake of the wider church go. It seems best to me to keep your strengths strong in order to best serve your weaknesses, but it is a mistake if no one leaves. It is only worthwhile keeping Sydney strong as long as people still go. The North Coast of NSW where I'm from has some great evangelical churches who have struggled for years to find a full-time gospel worker willing to come and serve with them.
8. Some people for the sake of the wider church stay. It is a mistake if too many leave. I don't think the balance is too bad at the moment, but depending on the season we will need to agitate on either side of the equation. There are times when people are comfortable in the city and need to be encouraged to leave. Othertimes the easy thing is to go but people will need to be encouraged to for the sake of the wider church to stay. My beloved co-worker in the gospel Tracey Gowing is from Kempsey. She has such a heart for the country. Her solution; though much harder to stay in Sydney she has spent the last 15 years helping to train up women and encourage men to serve Jesus throughout the world. Working at a health sciences campus has meant that just about any town in NSW that has a hospital has a graduate from the Sydney campus where Tracey laboured. Many of these health professionals are Christians encouraged by Tracey serve the country church.

The manual doesn't specifically call out how memory using the default type interacts with PAT, but it may well be that it stays uncached if the default type is uncached.

Effects of soil properties on growth of young tree seedlings of Hopea odorata and Azadirachta excelsa in line and gap enrichment planting in logged-over tropical lowland forest were evaluated. At 13 months, the trees were grouped into good and poor growth based on their height increment in the previous 6 months. Organic matter content, penetration resistance, soil texture, thickness of A-horizon, Ca and Mg contents differed significantly between soils with good and poor growth. Organic matter, thickness of A-horizon, Ca and Mg contents were found to be significantly higher in good growth soils than poor ones, but penetration resistance was the reverse. Surface soils under good growth had lower clay content and higher sand content compared to that under poor growth. Favourable soil conditions for good growth were also manifested in biomass and litter accumulation. The mean dry biomass in the good and poor growth was 174 and 72 g m-2 respectively, and for dry litter 300 and 154 g m-2 respectively. Properties most limiting seedling growth performance were bulk density (mechanical resistance), depth of A-horizon and amount of clay in the surface soil. Correction of these factors is therefore important in ensuring the success of rehabilitation and reforestation of logged-over degraded forest.

ExxonMobil Denied Mistrial in New Hampshire MTBE SuitDon Jeffrey
ExxonMobil Corp. lost its bid for a mistrial in a lawsuit by New Hampshire claiming it contaminated the state's water supply with a gasoline additive.
ExxonMobil moved for the mistrial, claiming that a state witness's remark in front of the jury violated the judge's previous order to not talk about two funds for cleaning up contaminated sites. New Hampshire Superior Court Judge Peter Fauver ruled before the trial began that no mention could be made of the funds because the jurors might believe the state didn't need any more money for the cleanup.
"A mistrial is not warranted," Fauver said in his ruling yesterday. "Irreparable prejudice has not resulted from trial testimony to date."
Gary Beckett, a hydrogeologist, testified Feb. 6 that cost is a factor in monitoring groundwater contamination by the additive methyl tertiary butyl ether, or MTBE.
"There's not enough money to find everything out about a site," he said.
Fauver sent the jury home on Feb. 7 so that the two sides could argue the issue before him. The trial began on Jan. 14.
The New Hampshire funds have received $213 million from the oil companies since 1989 through a 1.5 cents-a-gallon fee on all oil products imported into in the state. The funds have $4 million left in them, the state has said.
'Hands Tied'
"Now we're in a situation, hands tied behind our back, where we can't say that the state does have resources for remediation," ExxonMobil lawyer James Quinn told the judge Feb. 6. Quinn asked Fauver to reconsider his ruling.
Fauver said he wouldn't reverse his opinion.
"Defendant's argument that the state received money from collateral sources, so its damages figure should be reduced, remains inappropriate, and defendants will not be entitled to present it to the jury," Fauver said in the ruling.
New Hampshire might be seeking more than $200 million from ExxonMobil, the last defendant on trial in the $816 million lawsuit filed in 2003. This is one of scores of cases involving MTBE filed since 2000 against oil refiners, fuel distributors and chemical makers.
ExxonMobil, based in Irving, Texas, has argued in court that it isn't liable because it added MTBE to gasoline to comply with federal regulations, which pre-empt state law. Oil companies added MTBE to make gasoline burn more thoroughly in order to reduce air pollution, as required under the 1990 Clean Air Act.
Additive Banned
New Hampshire banned the additive as of January 2007.
MTBE, which is highly soluble in water and thus can be carried great distances from where it leaks, is a "toxic chemical that does not belong in the state's drinking water," Jessica Grant, a lawyer for the state, said in opening remarks to the jury. It leaked from gas stations, vehicle junkyards, underground storage tanks and pipe fittings, the state said.
The state is seeking monetary damages in part based on ExxonMobil's market share of gasoline sales in New Hampshire during the period covered by the lawsuit.
ExxonMobil's share was about 30 percent, the state said. Based on an estimated cost of $816 million to test for, monitor and clean up the groundwater, New Hampshire could be seeking about $245 million from the company.
Citgo Dismissed
On Jan. 15, Fauver agreed to dismiss Citgo Petroleum Corp., the other defendant, from this trial while the company and the state work to complete a settlement. Citgo is the Houston-based unit of Petroleos de Venezuela SA, the country's state-owned oil company. If an accord isn't reached by Feb. 15 and no extension is approved, Citgo would be reinstated to the trial.
Besides ExxonMobil and Citgo, New Hampshire also sued Shell Oil Co., Sunoco Inc., ConocoPhillips, Irving Oil Ltd., Vitol SA and Hess Corp. All settled before the trial began except ExxonMobil and Citgo.
New Hampshire has received more than $100 million in settlements from defendants so far, according to court papers.
MTBE lawsuits have also been consolidated in federal court in New York for pretrial evidence-gathering and motions. In 2009, a federal jury ordered ExxonMobil to pay New York City $104.7 million after finding it liable for polluting wells in the city. ExxonMobil has appealed.
New Hampshire's lawyers said last week they hoped to conclude their case by Feb. 21. ExxonMobil would then begin presenting its case.
The case is New Hampshire v. Hess Corp., 03-C-0550, New Hampshire Superior Court, Merrimack County (Concord).
