Tonight’s preseason finale against the Denver Broncos represents a final audition for several players as they hope to make the Vikings 53-man roster. The Vikings began training camp back on July 30 with 80 players and tonight training camp officially comes to an end and the Vikings will trim the roster to 53 players by the end of the day Saturday.
For some, such as DE Jared Allen or RB Adrian Peterson, tonight’s action isn’t so dramatic. But for others, tonight could mean everything. Let’s take a look at a few position battles that are still up in the air…
Offensive Line: All 5 starters from last year will return in 2010, but beyond that the Vikings OL situation is uncertain. Rookie Chris DeGeare has performed well to this point and could be anywhere from the Week 1 starter at RG to the team’s #1 reserve. And what about Ryan Cook? He can play all 5 positions along the line but might have to hold off others, such as Patrick Brown and Drew Radovich, to make the team.
Wide Receiver: Last year’s breakout WR – Sidney Rice – is on the mend with a hip injury and won’t be active until midway through the season, so that opens up another spot on the roster. The Vikings brought in Greg Camarillo and Javon Walker last week to fortify depth, but there are others, such as Logan Payne and Greg Lewis, who are vying for playing time as well. All of these players have a chance tonight to step up and stand out.
Defensive Line: It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Vikings hold onto an extra defensive lineman or 2 given how well the unit has played in training camp and the preseason. Aside from the usual suspects, there have been a few standouts during training camp, including DT Letroy Guion and DE Jayme Mitchell. They’ll have a chance to solidify their positions tonight but others on the depth chart, such as DT Fred Evans and DE Everson Griffen, will try to use tonight as another stepping stone.
Linebacker: They might slide a bit under the radar, but the Vikings LB corps might be the deepest spot on the entire team. The team’s 3 starters are outstanding, and LB coach Fred Pagac has done a great job of shoring up depth behind those starters with players such as Jasper Brinkley, Heath Farwell and Erin Henderson. Given the importance of LBs to the special teams unit, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a couple more LBs (Kenny Onatolu, Nate Triplett) on the final 53-man roster.

Preseason games often times lose their interest past halftime, but that wasn’t the case on Saturday night at Mall of America Field, where the Vikings pulled out a 24-13 come-from behind victory over the Seattle Seahawks to improve their preseason record to 2-1 and, more importantly, move another step closer to opening the 2010 regular season.
Brett Favre and the Vikings 1st team offense racked up 223 yards of offense in the opening 2 quarters but penalties and turnovers compromised scoring opportunities. The Vikings defense dominated Seattle’s 1st team offense, holding them to just 98 net yards of offense in the 1st half. As a result, the teams entered halftime knotted at 10.
Seattle opened up another lead early in the 3rd quarter with an Olindo Mare FG; there was no other scoring in the 3rd period.
But the Vikings offense opened up a bit in the 4th quarter, with both Sage Rosenfels and Joe Webb leading scoring drives. Rosenfels capped his drive by lofting a pass to Javon Walker in the endzone. Walker, acquired earlier in the week, made an acrobatic catch over 2 defenders for the score, giving the Vikings a 17-13 lead after the Ryan Longwell PAT. On the Vikings next possession, Webb entered the game and capped his drive by hitting fellow rookie Ryan D’Imperio. The fullback bullied his way into the endzone for a 7-yard score that gave the Vikings a 24-13 lead.
The scoring ended there and the Vikings came away with their 2nd win of the 2010 preseason. We’ll have more coverage, including a complete game recap, highlights, on-demand video of head coach Brad Childress and Favre’s press conferences and much more.

Tonight marks the 3rd preseason game for the Vikings as they host the Seattle Seahawks at Mall of America Field in a game scheduled to kickoff at 7:00 p.m. CT. The 3rd preseason game is considered the “dress rehearsal” for NFL teams as they make final preparations for the regular season, so tonight is a good time to keep a keen eye on the squad.
With that in mind, here are a few things I’ll be specifically watching tonight…
Unquestionably the position fans were the most displeased with coming out of the 2009 season. I’m not sure they played as poorly as many thought, but there is definitely room for improvement. Madieu Williams has one of the starting spots nailed down, but the other spot is still up in the air, with both Tyrell Johnson (last season’s regular starter) and Jamarca Sanford battling it out. My sense is that Johnson has an edge in this competition, but Sanford did start last week in San Francisco and Johnson didn’t come in until the 3rd quarter. I’m not sure how to read into that, but tonight’s rotation and performance from each guy will go a long way in determining who will be the Week 1 starter.
Probably the position fans are the most displeased with currently, especially after the sack QB Brett Favre took last week. I’m less concerned with the starting 5 and more concerned about the depth behind the starting 5, specifically at OT. Rookie G Chris DeGeare should provide adequate depth on the interior line, but I think Patrick Brown and Drew Radovich have a lot to prove as reserve OTs. They’ll get their chance tonight in the 2nd half as well as in next week’s preseason finale against the Denver Broncos.
Another area to watch will be the starting C position, where John Sullivan has made it back from a leg injury and should see substantial time tonight. But last week starting RG Anthony Herrera played some at C, so it will be interesting to see if the Vikings offensive staff plays Herrera at C again tonight, even with Sullivan back in the lineup and able to play. If Herrera does play C tonight, this might be a development worth watching over the next couple of weeks.
Both Greg Camarillo and Javon Walker should see their 1st game action as Vikings tonight. Walker was brought in via free agency earlier in the week and Camarillo was brought in via trade a day later. My sense is that Camarillo has a real shot to be a factor in the Vikings passing game this season. He caught 55 and 50 passes in consecutive years with the Dolphins, a run-heavy team, and he’s never played with a QB at the level of Brett Favre, so perhaps Camarillo will be a productive possession receiver with the Vikings. Walker is a bigger target than Camarillo and also brings with him a rapport with Favre from their days together in Green Bay. Walker also knows the offense better than Camarillo at this point, which is why I expect Walker to look better tonight.
It’ll be interesting to watch both of these guys play and I’m specifically interested to see what my initial impressions of Camarillo are after tonight’s game.
I’m also looking forward to watching WR Bernard Berrian in extended time tonight with Favre. Even before issues with Percy Harvin and Sidney Rice arose, I thought Berrian was poised to have another big season for the Vikings. In 2008, Berrian fulfilled expectations as a big-time free agent signing by leading the NFL in yards per catch. Then last season, with Favre under center, Berrian missed the opportunity to develop early chemistry with #4 because of a nagging hamstring injury. With Berrian healthy and Favre back in the fold, I expect the speedy #87 to be a big factor in this year’s passing game. We’ll get a glimpse as to what the future holds tonight.
The 6-6, 285-pound DE has been written off by many Vikings followers over the year, partially because a knee injury ruined much of his time in Minnesota. But earlier this week assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said Mitchell is now showing no ill-effects from that knee injury, and Mitchell’s play recently is bearing that out. He’s had a nice training camp and an even better preseason. After his 1st solid preseason performance against the St. Louis Rams, I said I needed to see him do it again before I jumped on-board. Then that’s exactly what he did against San Francisco last week. So I’m on-board with Mitchell making the squad for now, but we still have 2 preseason games to play. Hopefully Mitchell stays healthy and puts on another good show tonight. He could provide the Vikings with excellent depth behind Ray Edwards.

After disappointing news that WR Sidney Rice could be sideline for 8 weeks or even more after undergoing hip surgery earlier in the week, the Vikings weren’t reduced to licking their wounds or curling over in the fetal position. Instead, the team has aggressively addressed the problem by signing veteran Javon Walker and trading for 5th-year player Greg Camarillo.
Camarillo immediately bolsters the talent level and depth of the Vikings WR corps. The 6-1, 190-pound WR out of Stanford is a versatile player who can lineup in the slot or out wide. According to the website footballoutsiders, Camarillo was targeted 73 times in 2009 with 50 receptions and 0 drops. Camarillo, a smart player, has good but not great quickness and speed and he’s also been productive over the past 2 seasons, hauling in 105 catches in that time with an 11.1-yard per catch average.
Time will tell exactly how the Vikings use him, but by all appearances he seems to be a prototypical possession receiver – versatile with great hands and a history of producing. He’s a nice addition for the Vikings.
The addition of Camarillo comes at the expense of CB Benny Sapp, who had been with the club over the past 2 seasons and played well during his time with the Vikings. When CB Antoine Winfield was sidelined last season with a foot injury, it was Sapp who stepped in and played capably. In total, Sapp played in 30 games for the Vikings with 11 starts and tallied 59 tackles, 2 INTs and 2 forced fumbles in that time.
“Benny was a good player for us,” Vikings assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said on Wednesday. “He did a great job while he was here. He helped us out down the stretch a year ago. Wish him the best with his new team, wish him the best.”
But while the Vikings depth at WR was in question, depth at CB was not. And that’s why Sapp was dealt. Although starter Cedric Griffin is coming back from a knee injury, Winfield appears to be in top form and a trio of other CBs – Asher Allen, Chris Cook and Lito Sheppard – are vying for playing time. Sapp was by no means a front runner among the CB group and he actually missed extensive time during the early part of training camp due to dehydration.
No word yet on when Camarillo will join the Vikings or what jersey number he’ll wear. His contract runs through the 2011 season.

With Sidney Rice sideline because of a hip injury and Percy Harvin having missed extended time during training camp and the preseason, the Vikings WR position has gone from one of the deeper spots on the team to a position in need of some depth for the time being.
To address that situation, the Vikings have signed WR Javon Walker, a 9-year veteran who’s been with the Green Bay Packers (2002-2005), Denver Broncos (2006-2007) and Oakland Raiders (2008-2009). With the Vikings, Walker is re-united with QB Brett Favre. The tandem was successful in Green Bay, hooking up for TDs 20 times.
Walker has played in 83 career games, including 46 starts, over the last 8 seasons and he was originally selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 1st round (#20) of the 2002 NFL Draft. He earned a Pro Bowl berth following the 2004 season, a campaign in which he had 89 receptions for 1,382 yards (15.5 avg.) and 12 TDs.
For his career, Walker has 267 receptions for 4,011 yards and 31 TDs.
To make room for Walker, the Vikings waived RB Ryan Moats.

“Go and stay where people value you. It is this enigmatic part of Lucas Paquetá’s Instagram message, to formalize his departure from OL, that caught the attention of Lyon supporters on Monday night. If it was almost surprising to see a (now) undisputed starter for one of the top five teams in the world staying in the Rhône for almost two years, seeing him sign for West Ham (7th in the last Premier League) is just as surprising. And this especially three months before a World Cup in Qatar, which will further “promote” the talented 25-year-old attacking midfielder.
If his signing with a bonus makes him practically the second biggest sale in the history of OL behind Tanguy Ndombele (61,630 million euros), this amounts to “only” 42.95 M€ without them, which is almost the compensation of his compatriot and friend Bruno Guimaraes (€42.1M + €8M bonus), when he left for Newcastle last January.
Aulas assures that he “absolutely wanted to leave”, yes…
As for Guimaraes eight months earlier, Jean-Michel Aulas also assured, on Sunday night on Canal +, that the player “absolutely wanted to leave.” Except that he has never said it in the press, contrary to his attachment to the club he has hammered since his arrival in Ligue 1. If in general he is less prominent since the chained exits of the sports director Juninho and therefore of Bruno G., Lucas Paquetá, the two people closest to him in Lyon, remains one of those who has sparked the most in recent months.
As a symbol, OL’s last performance, without its Brazilian playmaker, was especially bland on Sunday in Reims (1-1). Among the 80 games (for 21 goals) that Lucas Paquetá played with Rudi García and then with Peter Bosz, his start to the 2021-2022 season will inevitably remain (ah, that clinical conclusion of a brilliant collective move against Clermont), two outstanding goals against PSG or Porto, as well as brilliant shots that have completely conquered both corners, such as your little bridge about the ex niçois Evann Guessand, or his surreal entry into the game against AS Monaco.
A juicy added value for the Guimaraes-Paquetá duo
In October 2021, indeed, he had chained two high-level games in less than 48 hours, with 9,000 kilometers (and 10 hours) of travel, plus six hours of time difference, to shine with the Seleçao as with Lyon. Parc OL has rarely been as euphoric as at this seemingly innocuous Ligue 1 match, which turned into a singing contest in honor of Lucas Paquetá, whose dribbling and ball protection had few equals in France for two years.
But quickly liquidating Juninho’s legacy, with a juicy new capital gain in the form of Bruno Guimaraes, two years after a €20m purchase from AC Milan, almost seems like a strategy for Lyon’s 2022 transfer window. , the leaders of the OL (Aulas-Ponsot-Cheyrou) are the conspicuous absences from Lucas Paquetá’s farewell message (but rich in thanks).
As for Memphis a year earlier, there are no recruits to replace him.
Like a year ago, when Lyon felt that they did not need to find a real replacement for Memphis Depay to return to the Champions League, the club indicated, on Monday night in its press release, that they could count in the middle “with a healthy emulation between Jeff Reine-Adélaïde, Romain Faivre and Rayan Cherki”.
Do you see in this list the “half warrior, half Michelangelo” profile, as Mauricio Barbieri described his former Flamengo prodigy? In all cases, if Bruno Cheyrou is allowed to chambrer the market of l’OM, the 1st July after he left Jorge Sampaoli, celui-ci se révèle (à nouveau) plus ambitieux que celui de l’OL, deux mois later. Because despite the hopes raised by the arrival of John Textor, the balance sheet will continue to be largely profitable this summer (at least +37 M€).

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.
There are largely 2 types of Diabetes–
Now the Surgeons have found out a cure for diabetes. It has been found that certain hormones which are responsible for Blood Sugar levels can be manipulated with the help of surgery. Thus, if we do a metabolic surgery of stomach and rearrange small bowel. This leads to changes in several gut hormones that control release of insulin and its action.
One of the surgeries that can be performed to achieve this is called Sleeve Gastrectomy. Sleeve Gastrectomy is a metabolic surgery that results in calorie restriction and weight loss. Weight loss has positive impact on maintaining normal glucose levels in blood. In this operation Ghrelin hormone – the hormone responsible for hunger production is reduced, as fundus of the stomach is removed. Weight loss increases insulin action, reduces damage to beta cells in pancreas. The process impacts the blood sugar levels and thus resulting into freedom from Diabetes.
To become eligible for this patient, the person needs to be suffering from type 2 diabetes who is fit, aged between 18 to 65 years, duration of diabetes should be > 3 years and < 20 years.
As a result of this surgery in obese people, because of narrow stomach tube, food intake is restricted, which leads to calorie restriction and weight loss. All these factors contribute to the resolution of diabetes in more than95 percent of type 2 diabetic patients.
In more than 65% patients HbA1C becomes < 6% and in 30% of patients HbA1C level between6 and 7 % is achieved. Patients are off insulin and tablets. More importantly it is almost a certainty that you are Diabetes Free!!!< Go back to list of treatments

8 oz Blue Tumblers
Dimensions: Height 8 cm, Diameter 8 cm (3"x3")
Capacity approximately 8 ounces.
Description: Ceramic wheel thrown goblet made with white stoneware clay and glazed with floating blue glaze. The interior is lined with a clear glaze. These tumblers have the image of Lake Superior etched into them.
Important: this is a handmade item. Dimensions can vary slightly. Each piece is special and unique.
It is made with lead-free, food safe glaze and is dishwasher and microwave safe.
Each tumbler is carefully created on the wheel. I trim the goblet to give it a better finish and create a bottom rim. Every tumbler goes through two firings in my kiln. The first firing is called a bisque fire: the goblet is cooked, but it is still porous to absorb glaze. After this fire, I glaze the tumbler and load the kiln for the next fire. For this fire the temperature is higher, 2232° F. It brings resistance and turns it into a non-absorbent item. Once cooled, the bottom is sanded for a smooth finish.

Seeing a speech and language therapist
It can be very worrisome for a parent to see their child struggling with speech problems as they learn to speak. Many children make speech mistakes as they learn, but it is when the child does not seem to be outgrowing the problems that you may have a speech or language disorder on your hands.
If you are a parent with a child who is experiencing speech or language problems, you want to do everything you can to find speech therapy help so that he or she can express themselves freely, and without ridicule, as they grow into adulthood.
Once you begin to suspect that your child may have speech problems, it is always a good idea to have the child professionally evaluated by a paediatrician, a speech pathologist, or both. One of many licensed physicians in Sydney can help determine if there are any physical conditions causing the speech disorder, and a speech pathologist can begin therapies and treatments that will help correct the speech problems.
A professional speech pathologist will be a great resource for speech therapy help and guidance. Not only can they conduct expert one on one therapy with the child, but they can connect you with support groups and give you at home activities and games that will take the therapy further. Speech therapy requires a lot of effort from the parents at home if it is to be successful.
Of course, techniques that work for one child, may not work for another. Your best plan of action is to consult a speech pathologist for speech therapy help, and supplement their treatment with a variety of at home exercises to find what works best for your little one.
If you have questions about speech pathology contact your local doctor, who will arrange for you to see a speech and language therapist. We‘ll provide you with a straightforward, efficient and very effective treatment plan targeted to your concerns.

Rob Vickers of Gulf Breeze, Florida is a third-generation armed services veteran with a father who served in the United States Air Force and a grandfather who was injured while serving in the Army during World War II. “I volunteered when I was little … I’ve always liked giving back,” Rob says of his inspiration for joining the United States Marine Corps. It’s this selfless pursuit that carved out a future of helping others throughout his career and personal life.
Rob joined The Army National Guard in 2000 and one year later, served as a 9/11 first responder at Ground Zero. On Saturday, September 8th, he happened to be in New York City, traveling with a church group and has pictures from the top of the World Trade Center’s South Tower. When the unthinkable events unfolded on Tuesday morning 20 years ago, he was called in to assist on the scene. Afterward, Rob joined the Air Force and went on to serve in Iraq and, after a combined 14 years of service, medically retired in 2010.
In 2012, Rob and a friend started Emerald Coast Wounded Warriors, advocating for and assisting many local wounded veterans and their families – including those of other 9/11 first responders. As a result, many of the warriors Rob champions for have received free homes, service dogs, emergency mental health care, financial aid, and spaces to safely interact with one another – a critical need for veterans living in isolation during the pandemic. “Helping others is very therapeutic for me,” Rob says of the work he’s doing with the organization.

Earlier this year I had a post about how a simulated floppy drive that reads SD cards helped me to experience long gone times on a real Commodore C64 rather than on a simulator. The C64 wasn't the only computer I had during my teenage years, it was followed by an Amiga 500 before PC clones and Microsoft Windows started to dominate home and office computing. Like with the C64, my Amiga vintage adventures are made difficult by software I once had but long lost and aging floppy drives and disks. But like for the C64 there are floppy drive hardware simulators available that plug right into the floppy cable and power supply of the original Amigas.
Instead of 3.5 inch floppy disks, the simulator is fed with USB Flash sticks that can contain an almost infinite number of floppy disk files. Switching from one floppy to another is done by pressing buttons at the front of the drive. The replacement drive I got for me even simulates the sound of the drive head motor of a real floppy drive for a more realistic feeling. The only difficulty I had was that the hardware doesn't fit into the Amgia 500 case as the USB port and the keys are at the wrong location and would be covered by the external case if assembled as intended.
While most people seem to use a longer ribbon cable and extend the power cable to use the floppy simulator outside the case or modify the case to get access to the USB port and the keys I came up with a slightly different approach which is to use a USB extension cable to drag out the USB port through the opening for the drive in the case and put the floppy simulator into the case itself. The disadvantage is that the drive can't be fixed in the case and a pen has to be used to reach the keys to simulate a change of the floppy disks. Not ideal, but to me that's much better than modifying the original case or have an "ugly" ribbon cable and a grey box outside the case.
P.S.: This is a good opportunity to link to my previous post about Amiga 30th anniversary events as the event in Neuss Germany is still outstanding and scheduled for the 10th of October 2015.

First of all, yes, the Kings have had scouts at the Devils/Sabres game, and the Bruins/Devils game. The Kings have already played the Devils twice this season and won't meet them again.
But before you read into that, scouts go to a lot of games, and you never hear about it and nothing comes of it. Also, the Kings minor affiliate, Manchester, is semi-close to both Boston and Buffalo. Maybe they wanted to catch a game, who knows.
Obviously the idea of getting Parise is the first thing that flies into a Kings fan's mind, and the more insane one probably goes to Kovalchuk.
Let's break this down a little bit though, shall we?
What do the Kings lack?
Bottom six offense, and skilled forward depth.
What does New Jersey lack?
Scoring, defensive depth and goaltending depth.
So obviously, I think we can rule out Parise, and Kovalchuk—I am sorry to burst your bubble, fan who is still living in the 2010 off season.
Both teams lack offense, so trading Parise doesn't make a whole lot of sense for NJ, nor does it make a lot of sense for L.A., seeing as they would probably have to give up a lot of NHL ready players, and that wouldn't exactly help them either.
If you look at this from the Kings point of view, you're targeting bottom-six or young forwards.
Ergo: Zubrus, Clarkson, Zharkov, Tedenby, Josefson, Henrique.
Considering that Clarkson and Zubrus are two guys that are actually producing on a low scoring team, I don't see them leaving unless an NHL ready forward is coming back (Penner?). The same goes for Henrique, he is too valuable.
The Kings also really don't need a player like Clarkson or Zubrus, considering they have a slew of players somewhat similar in Trent Hunter, Ethan Moreau, Brad Richardson, Kyle Clifford, etc.
This kind of leaves the Kings looking at a pool of young prospects in Zharkov, Tedenby and Josefson. But if the Devils are a stones throw from rebuilding, why move young pieces?
NJ desperately needs young defensive depth or a young goalie, both of which the Kings have.
With the likes of Nick Deslauriers and Derek Forbort on the way to the pros, maybe the Kings can live with getting rid of former first rounder Thomas Hickey, or defensemen Jake Muzzin, in exchange for someone like Tedenby.
There are a ton of possibilities here given the idea of trading from strength for a weakness in the Kings' position. However, none of these really scream blockbuster like a lot of people are thinking.
If anything goes down, and that's a big 'if,' It's not likely to be Bernier, Penner, Stoll and a first rounder for Parise. It's more or less going to be Hickey for Zharkov, or Muzzin for Tedenby.
But who knows, maybe L.A. loses the next three to five games horribly, and we see the aforementioned killer trade for Parise. NHL GMs can be unpredictable.
Who saw that Flyers blow up coming? Not I. But still, I just don't see either team really unloading anything valuable this early in the season.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist left open another run for Florida governor — this time as a Democrat — in front of a packed audience at the annual Manatee County Democratic Awards banquet March 15, in Lakewood Ranch.
Crist, the Republican governor of Florida from 2006 to 2010, told the audience of 305 at Polo Grill’s Fête Ballroom: “We’re going to make Manatee blue.”
Crist lost a race for the U.S Senate as an Independent in 2010, before campaigning for President Barack Obama in 2012 and later switching to the Democratic Party.
In a wide-ranging speech, Crist said the Democratic Party values diversity and education more than the “Grand Old Party” does.
He referenced the story of when, during a 2008 campaign stop for the president in Fort Myers, he hugged President Obama on stage. Republicans bashed Crist for it.
“You are a party that welcomes people,” Crist said. “No matter what color, what agenda, everyone is welcome. That is why the president won.”
Crist criticized Florida Gov. Rick Scott for his stances on public education and for moving too slowly to expand early-voting hours during the November election.
He referenced the governor’s plan to give teachers a one-time $2,500 raise this year — two years after he pushed for them to contribute toward their retirement plans and cut education funding by more than $1 billion.
“It’s nice to give people bonuses,” Crist said. “It’s even nicer to be good to them every year.”
He also said Scott should have signed an executive order in November to keep early-voting sites open longer as a way to speed the process.
“I love Florida,” Crist said. “And I know you do, too. This is an important time in the state’s history.

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) was the daughter of an estate manager and his second wife, Christiana Pearson. She added a new dimension to the novel, developing and enlarging on the work done by earlier women novelists. These female writers produced well-constructed, interesting plots, with excellent portrayals of character, and stories with convincing and varied backgrounds.
George Eliot's work uses all these things to varying degrees, but she brought an intellectual approach to her tales. She did not begin writing novels until she was nearly forty and she had time to observe her fellow human beings and to develop a firm philosophy of life. Her own nature was serious and there is a purpose, even urgency, in all her work. Her best work is a blend of imaginative insight and sound reason.

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone else has had problems after updating the T500RS firmware to V46? Mine doesn't recognise the GTE rim correctly - sees it as a "TM wheel & hub" and the paddles don't operate! I downgraded to firmware to V43 and it works fine.

Recently, we discussed the issues that Nashville has with pedestrian accidents. As we reported, it is estimated that as many as 25 to 35 percent of fatal vehicle accidents in the area involve pedestrians.
Pedestrian accidents are not just an issue in Nashville. In 2011, there were over 4,400 pedestrian deaths nationally, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Because of this, many jurisdictions are increasing awareness programs in an attempt to decrease pedestrian accidents.
In Nashville, police have been asking motorists to keep an eye out for pedestrians, in addition to asking people to wear bright clothing and use the sidewalks and crosswalks when commuting by foot.
Keep in mind, many pedestrian accidents occur because of poor visibility. If you are ever on the road and your vehicle experiences problems, make sure you avoid walking in and around roadways. This is especially true on interstates, where a driver may have very little time to react after seeing you.
A NASHVILLE PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT
Sadly, on January 16, a car near Nashville International Airport struck a pedestrian, leaving her injured. According to WSMV-TV, the crash happened off Murfreesboro Pike, near Smith Springs Road.
WSMV reported that the pedestrian involved in the accident was having car trouble when she pulled over and tried to investigate what was occurring. A vehicle that was driving by reportedly struck her. An investigation into the accident is pending.
Unfortunately, aside from death, pedestrian accidents can result in serious personal injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries and brain injuries, which can lead to costly healthcare bills.
SHOULD I SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY AFTER A PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT?
Remember, pedestrian accidents can be both the fault of the person walking and the driver of the vehicle involved. This is why it is important to have any accident investigated by our experienced Nashville injury attorney, in addition to a law enforcement agency, as he can help you determine if you may be entitled to damages.
For more information about pedestrian accidents, continue to read our blog and visit our social media sites like Facebook. We greatly appreciate our “likes” and update our pages regularly.
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” – John 14:1
Davis’ Words of Wisdom: The Nashville metro-area had 210 pedestrian deaths between 2003 and 2012.

IRISH ADVENTURER MARK Pollock wants those who ran in the dark for him last year to do it again – on Wednesday 14 November 2012.
Whereas the official nighttime race was limited to the streets of Dublin, Cork and Belfast last year, this year’s incarnation boasts three additional – and international – locations: London, Manchester and New York.
Each location is open to both walkers and runners, with lengths of either five or 10 kilometres available at each, with the exception of New York (five kilometres only).
Pop-up running events are also set to take place in other locations around the world.
He remains the only person who is both blind and paralysed to trial them. At a talk in Trinity College earlier this summer, Pollock spoke of having to come to terms with becoming paralysed, having already been blind from the age of 22.
As I had moments of clarity, peppered with hallucinations from the morphine that I was on, I wondered to myself whether dying would be a better outcome than what was happening.
Having started his rehabilitation, however, Pollock now believes that some form of movement is possible.
In addition to helping to raise funds for Mark’s rehabilitation, participants can also raise money for other charitable organisations, including Wings For Life, Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind and the NCBI.

Kim Byoung DukExperiment No. X
Experiment No. X retraces the oeuvre of Kim Byoung Duk, assembling tracks from Experiment No. 2, Pot Concerto and New Trilogy, illustrating a meditative journey from the freeness of the Tao sound, in the borders of ambient music and the avant-garde, to later groove-oriented jams which introduce rhythmic elements to the palate.
This fully licensed release is the first collection of Kim Byoung Duk's music, remastered from the original tapes and including for the first time on vinyl songs from the very scarce CD New Morning. Includes four-page booklet with photographs and an interview from Kim's personal archives.


The group runs a program of public events throughout the year, at which members of the public are very welcome. These take the form of a winter talk program and a summer walk program. We also run a wider program of events for bat group members. Information on how to join is on the contact page.
Indoor Talks and Events
Throughout the year a number of interesting talks are held within Standish Village Hall, near Gloucester. (Location and directions).
You can also find information here about other bat-related events run in the area, in association with the Bat Group.
All events are held at the Village Hall unless otherwise stated. Please arrive at 7.15 for a 7.30 start. Tea and refreshments are provided: we ask a £2 charge per attendee to cover costs.
Thursday 22 November 2018 "What is rewilding and what does it mean for bats in the UK?' David Bullock will be our guest speaker at the November bat group meeting to discuss the concept of rewildin. He will ask: 1. What bat species were present in mid Holocene Britain, some 6000 years ago in what is called the wildwood, what species are present now and what species are projected be in the UK before the end of the century?
2. What impact could rewilding schemes have on our bats, some of which are totally reliant upon human intervention and infrastructure, and all of which may be affected by interactions with newly reinstated species that have not happened for decades or centuries?
Tuesday 6 March 2018 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Please come along to the AGM to hear about work done to date and our plans for the year ahead. There are also vacancies on the committee. Come and have your say. The business will be followed by an interesting and no-doubt inspiring talk on the distribution and recording of Gloucestershire's bats, to be given by our very own David Wells.
Monday 12 February 2018 Lesser Horseshoe Bats at Sherborne Nick Downs will deliver a talk to GBG about the 2004 radio-tracking study of lesser horseshoes at the Sherborne Estate.The talk will describe the results of a lesser horseshoe bat radio-tracking study, carried out in 2004 at the National Trust Sherborne Estate near Cirencester which was aimed at producing an estate-wide species conservation management plan.
Tuesday 9 January 2018 Pine Marten reintroductions to Gloucestershire Andrew Stringer will deliver a talk about the potential reintroduction of pine martens to the Forest of Dean and lower Wye Valley which is being investigated by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, Vincent Wildlife Trust and Forestry Commission. The talk will cover all aspects of pine marten biology, how they may affect local ecosystems, and the impacts and opportunities they may provide for people living alongside them. This will be a good chance to find out about the project and ask any questions.
Thursday 5 October 2017 Sniffing Out Bats Carline van Vliet from Worcester Dogs will give a talk on 5th October about their sniffer dogs which are trained to find bat carcasses (one of the dogs will be at the talk). The dogs have gone operational this summer so there should be lots of good footage and field experience to share with us.Hope to see you there!
Summer Outdoor Events
Currently there are several interesting schemes to be involved with including bat box checks and emergence counts. These are good opportunities to learn about bats and gain surveying experience. All members on the mailing list will be informed of upcoming events throughout the summer.
All bat work contains some element of risk. Please see here for a copy of the general risk assessment for bat box checks. Event leaders will circulate site-specific risk assessments to attendees prior to the date but please contact the bat group/event leader if you have any questions or concerns.
If you are not yet a member but would like to be involved, please see the Contact Us page for details on how to join.
Underground Section Membership
During the winter months, members of the Underground Section visit a number of cave and tunnel systems within the Forest of Dean and Cotswolds areas to identify and count our hibernating bats. This is a good opportunity to learn about the rare lesser and greater horseshoe bats. Our risk assessment for underground visits can be found here.
National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP)
Every year the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) runs a series of national bat surveys for volunteers as a means of monitoring changes in our bat populations. The surveys suit a range of experience levels with the opportunity for training. The surveys also provide a valuable source of bat records. Further information on how to get involved, as well as some training resources, are available on the BCT website.


Sixty-three players appeared in at least one game for the New England Patriots last season. Just one of them (fill-in kicker Kai Forbath) played fewer snaps than running back Damien Harris.
Harris, a 2019 third-round draft pick, was a ghost during his first year in Foxboro, Mass., logging just five total offensive snaps and five more on special teams. Despite being largely healthy and available, the former Alabama star was limited to two garbage-time appearances as a rookie. His final stats: four carries, 12 yards, no catches.
Expect that to change in Year 2.
Harris has impressed thus far in Patriots training camp, and all signs point to him taking on a much larger role as an NFL sophomore.
“Well, he had a lot of opportunity to work as the scout team running back (last season) and do the things that those players did, whether it be in the running game or the passing game,” Belichick said before Wednesday’s practice.
“He’s a smart player, and he has a lot of skills that I think we’ll be able to utilize. He’s had an opportunity to get quite a few reps here in the work that we’ve done to this point, so I think that’s helped him, but he seems like he’s in good shape and ready to go. Looking forward to seeing him.”
With 2018/’19 lead back Sony Michel (foot) and veteran newcomer Lamar Miller (knee) both on the active/physically unable to perform list and unable to practice, opportunities have been plentiful for the young Harris. He’s stood out positively as both a runner (he felled rookie linebacker Josh Uche with a lethal jump cut Tuesday) and a pass-catcher (he hauled in a juggling one-handed touchdown catch late in Tuesday’s practice).
Harris also has worked as an upback on the Patriots’ kick return team. Having no role on special teams contributed to his lack of playing time a season ago.
“That’s what I think is most important, coming in and showing that I can be dependable, I can be competitive, I can play the game at a high level,” Harris said Tuesday. “Just want to come in here and improve every single day no matter what is asked of me, no matter what coaches need me to do, I’m going to do it to the best of my ability.”
Harris averaged 6.4 yards per carry at Alabama and performed well in limited preseason action last summer, rushing 16 times for 88 yards (5.5 per carry) in two games.
With Michel and Miller sidelined and Brandon Bolden opting out of the season, Harris has been one of just four running backs taking reps in Patriots camp, along with James White, Rex Burkhead and undrafted rookie J.J. Taylor.
Belichick didn’t offer any indication of when Miller, a talented dual-threat back who surpassed 870 yards in five consecutive campaigns before missing last season with a torn ACL, might be ready to make his Patriots practice debut.
“Of course, you know Lamar missed the season last year and is coming off last year’s injury, so we’ll see how that goes,” Belichick said. “But hopefully he’ll be able to work his way back onto the field, and we’ll see where he’s at.”
Michel’s injury reportedly could sideline him into the regular season.

Formerly Homeless Student Starts Nonprofit to Help His Peers Get to College
Nineteen-year-old New York City student Orayne Williams knows a lot about how to avoid becoming a statistic. Last year Williams, who was abandoned by his family when he was 12 and spent his teen years living in homeless shelters, managed to graduate from high school with honors and enrolled at Manhattanville College on a full scholarship. His campus dormitory was his first non-shelter home in years.
Last November, he founded a new nonprofit, the Progressive People Movement Inc., which hopes to help at-risk "youth break free from the cycles of homelessness, incarceration, poverty and failure."

(AmericanProsperity.com) – Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz blasted multiple Democratic leaders on September 11 during the newest episode of his podcast. He touched on the most important political events across the country, and about the 9/11 anniversary.
Cruz also discussed New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s decision to unilaterally suspend concealed and open-carry gun laws in the state, and the Biden administration’s plan to maintain illegal immigrants in Texas.
When talking about 9/11, Cruz explained that having open borders is inviting terrorists to the country, and he pointed out that the next planner of a similar terrorist attack will enter the United States from Mexico. He then said that the worst aspect of this issue is that if the terrorist manages to come across, President Joe Biden will fly that person to wherever he wants to go. The Texas Senator also said that every day that the Biden administration refuses to solve the border crisis issue, the possibility of another terrorist attack in the country goes up.
Cruz told his co-host Ben Ferguson he read that the Biden administration was planning to use ankle monitors on illegal aliens in Texas to prevent them from leaving the state. He said this was a “complete garbage” as it was a political decision that every legal expert in the country would find it “blatantly illegal.” The Senator told Ferguson that this measure would make Texas increase its population to 37 million inhabitants as 7.2 million illegally crossed from Mexico to this state under President Biden. He added that the commander-in-chief would be defying federal law as this one requires the deportation of these illegal aliens.
When talking about Lujan, Cruz said her decision to sign an executive order to restrict New Mexicans’ constitutional rights is the direct consequence of electing Democrats. The Senator pointed out that what she did was “unapologetically lawless,” and claimed that the Democratic Party is today a “totalitarian” one.

Tuesday afternoon I spoke with Idaho State head coach Joe O’Brien as the Bengals were leaving the Kohl Center after their afternoon shoot around. The former Southeastern Community College basketball coach faced a formidable task later that night, taking the Bengals onto Wisconsin’s home court where it is 110-7 under coach Bo Ryan.
O’Brien was going to stay in the Midwest after tonight’s game and Thursday’s contest at Wisconsin-Green Bay. Former O’Brien assistant and SCC head coach Tim Walsh is an assistant with the Phoenix. Former SCC player, Chop Tang, who also played for Walsh at Eastern Arizona, plays for UW-Green Bay. O’Brien will then watch the Blackhawks play Kirkwood Sunday in Des Moines at the Juco Shootout at Drake’s Knapp Center.
Here is more from my conversation with O’Brien, whose team knocked off Utah Saturday night. The Utes were No. 3 in the latest RPI rankings.
On ISU’s win over Utah: “Celebrations are short-lived. We refer back to it though. We learned in those losses as well as that win. We really played a good game. They were outrebounding opponents by 9 1/2 per game. We outrebounded them by three. We cut our turnovers to nine. They were shooting over 50 percent from the field and we held them to 40 percent shooting. It was a good all-around effort. It was a big step forward for us. Now we play a formidable opponent on the road. It gets a little tougher.”
On the major differences between Juco and NCAA Division I: “No. 1, at Burlington, especially those last five years, we were the best in the country. Our talent was as good as anybody’s. We were not playing uphill any night. We still had to play well to win and prepare, but the talent level was good. That’s not the case any more. We’re a mid major. A lot of nights we’re outmanned. We just have to make up for it with changing things up, and trying to change defenses frequently. It’s a lot harder in that regard.
“Another is recruiting. At Burlington we could get as good a player as anybody. It’s very, very difficult especially when you’re isolated. I’m still recruiting the same places I was, internationally, Memphis, Detroit, but not every kid wants to move to the mountains. Recruiting’s a much bigger challenge. But we’re done for this year. We only have two seniors. The bad news is next year we have to sign 11.
“I think the third major difference is just the preparation. Everybody has the availability of statistics and video tape. Games are televised. There’s a whole bunch of information out there. You have to go into much more detail than in junior college. You don’t surprise or fool anybody.”

Re-inventing retail: Brompton Bikes
“Whoever said retail was dead ?! It simply needs to evolve,” rightly pointed out Simon Rosenberg, Brompton Bicycle’s Global Head of Retail, when announcing (1) the opening of the brand’s new flagship store in London’s Westfield shopping centre. Brompton is a brand of folding bikes with a 12% share of the ‘hybrid/commuter’ sector of the market, and is growing nicely with sales up 7% in 2018 (2). And below I look at how the brand’s new store provides inspiration on how to re-invent the retail experience for a digital age.
1. Create a customer experience
The new Brompton store is “a hive of consumer experience and theatre,” as Simon explains. There is a workshop where you can bring your Brompton bike in to get it repaired, and also a test road where you can try out a bike. What I like about both these service features is how they create buzz and interest in store, whilst also delivering relevant service benefits.
2. Link online and physical
Brompton has done a nice job of creating what in jargon-terms is an ‘omnichannel’ experience, by linking online and physical shopping. You can design your bike online, selecting colour, accessories and other features and then come to the store to pick it up, for example.
3. Drive traffic, by being useful
I like the way Brompton see the stores as way to drive penetration by expanding the brand’s reach. “We need to take Brompton to the customer,” explains the company’s CEO, Will Butler-Adams (3). “This is the philosophy with our Brompton Junction stores: beautiful stores in great cities, inspiring a lifestyle change to a broad spectrum of urbanites”.
One clever way Brompton is attracting potential new customers is by running a Brompton Electric bike hire scheme in the store. Hire of Brompton electric bikes works well in a shopping centre like Westfield, as the bikes are foldable and portable; you could pick one up and take it home for use on a holiday!
Brompton is also driving traffic with existing customers by cleverly offering a ‘drop & shop’ service, where you can leave your Brompton bike and go off shopping in Westfield. This keeps the brand top of mind and creates opportunities to sell accessories, clothing and servicing.
4.Bring to life the brand
The Brompton store also does a nice job of bringing to life the brand world. It features original furniture from the factory and a heritage Brompton from 1981.
In conclusion, Simon and the Brompton team have shown with their new store how retail is not dead but does need re-inventing, to create a distinctive, impactful customer experiences that offer real utility too.

* Tonight's cravat is a lovely stripe of smoky lilac and eggplant. It has an air of somber gravitas to it, a dignified and sedate mien, like a solitary elderly woman coming down the church steps on a rainy day. She wears a dark violet hat with a half-veil, and in her hand she carries one pale lavender rose. She opens the iron gate of the adjoining cemetery and walks inside, unhurried despite the steady, soft shower. Carefully, almost ceremoniously, she pulls the gate shut behind her. She makes her way determinedly to a neat plot with a plain headstone of smooth granite. She pats the stone meditatively, places the rose carefully upon the grassy blanket beneath, gives a small wave, and turns to go.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sylvia Mathews Burwell pledged on Thursday to take a fresh bipartisan approach to Congress on the law known as Obamacare, one of the most divisive issues in American politics, if confirmed by the Senate as the new U.S. health secretary.
At a hearing expected to be charged with congressional election rhetoric about President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, Burwell said she would build on her record as the current White House budget director by working closely with lawmakers on “our shared priorities” and finding solutions to issues that “transcend parties.”
“I have made responses to and engagement with Congress a priority -- working with members on both sides of the aisle to drive towards progress on the issues we all care deeply about,” Burwell said in written testimony to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
She also described Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in new upbeat terms, saying the law has strengthened the economy and the middle class - two vital issues for Democratic candidates in November’s midterm elections that Republicans are trying to turn into a referendum on Obamacare.
Her pledge of bipartisan cooperation could mark a change in the administration’s healthcare relations with lawmakers, particularly Republicans, who have complained loudly about a lack of responsiveness under outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The path to confirmation is expected to be a smooth one for Burwell, a 48-year-old technocrat who was nominated by Obama on April 11.
The HELP committee proceedings are the first of two Burwell confirmation hearings. The Senate Finance Committee, which will decide whether to send her nomination to the floor for a vote, is expected to hold a second hearing later this month. Democrats are aiming to finalize her nomination before the U.S. Memorial Day holiday on May 26.
Last year, Burwell sailed through the Senate on a 96-0 vote to become Obama’s budget director.
This time, she may end up being confirmed without many Republican ‘yes’ votes. Republicans see the hearings as perhaps their last chance to grill a senior Obama official publicly about Obamacare before the Nov. 4 ballot.
While readily accepting Burwell’s Harvard and Oxford credentials, Republicans want to know whether she will be a dedicated public servant who avoids the partisan fray or a committed Obama insider determined to see the president’s policies through at any cost.
“She’s obviously very loyal to her boss, which is an admirable quality ... but it raises the burden of pressure on us in the confirmation process to be sure to be thorough,” said Senator Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican who sits on both confirmation panels.
Burwell has already come under fire from Republicans who contend she will play an unstated political role by portraying Obama’s signature domestic policy in the most favorable light during this year’s congressional election and the 2016 presidential contest.
The loyalty question goes directly to a Burwell quality that sets her apart from Sebelius, a Washington outsider who joined the administration in 2009 after serving as Kansas governor but never penetrated Obama’s inner circle.
A member of the West Wing’s top echelon, Burwell as health secretary could wield much greater influence in dealings with stakeholders. They include health insurers and state regulators, who could be the key to keeping Obamacare on an even keel.
”They know that the president really trusts her and that she’s been an insider in White House processes who used to sit at the principal senior staff table,” Obama senior adviser John Podesta, a long-time Burwell associate, told Reuters.

The Lower East Side in Manhattan, New York was chosen as the location for our site because of its many social resources, nightlife, and culture. This area has a high population density of about 82,500 people per square mile, and is in need of a solution to meet increased housing needs.
Based off of a research analysis of the demographics of the area, there is an increasing number of young professionals who move to the Lower East Side because of its bustling night life, culture, and affordability for living based off of lower rent rates as compared to New York as a whole.
The site location chosen was the Aaron Streit Matzo factory building in the Lower East Side, Manhattan. It is a 47,000 square foot building and is a surviving piece of the Lower East Side’s Jewish heritage. It is currently under threat of demolition with plans in place to build luxury mixed use condominiums in its place.
In our design proposal, we plan to re-purpose the existing matzo factory as a gallery for the community. The program will include a café, a museum that celebrates the history of the factory, personal studio spaces, and open gallery spaces for displaying art. Because the Lower East Side is rich in culture and the arts, we wanted to create a space for creativity to flourish.
With the rich history of the factory and surrounding context, the social resources that surround the selected site, and the large demographic of young professionals that are attracted to this area, our concept is based off of a housing solution that integrates community public space as a means for social interaction for the individuals that live there. Our mixed-use proposal integrates the old with the new and emphasizes community space and art “as a way of living.”
In order to build housing in a fast and affordable manner, our design implements a simple grid structure using the Kerto LVL material. Using an exposed post and beam system that supports each floor, beams sit on top of columns and connect in a simplistic and elegant way.
The housing units or “modules” are prototypical on each floor. The modules fit within the structure and are arranged in such a way that they surround around a centralized community and circulation core. Community space is left completely open and is user defined by the occupants. Balconies provide public and private outdoor space for users, and curtain walls allow natural light to fill the space. The design allows for social interaction within each space, private or public.

Barely two weeks after his dismissal by the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) from his role as the head coach of the Uganda Cranes, Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic has broken his silence, claiming that he harbours no ill feelings toward the federation.
Micho, who returned for a second stint as the Cranes’ coach in 2021, signed a three-year contract. However, his tenure was cut short as the Cranes failed to qualify for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, which is set to take place in Ivory Coast.
When he signed the contract, Micho’s primary task was to guide the team back to the prestigious continental competition, as the Cranes had last participated in the tournament in 2019.
“We had a well-thought-out plan on how to bring the team back to AFCON, but unfortunately, we couldn’t make it happen,” Micho explained.
Despite his dismissal, Micho expressed his commitment to remaining a part of the Ugandan football community.
“While I may no longer hold the position of head coach, I will continue to support the team as a fan,” Micho said.
He went on to express his enduring connection to Uganda: “Uganda will always be my home. I’ve spent a significant amount of time here, and it has become a part of who I am.”
Micho will forever be remembered in Uganda’s football history for his role in guiding the national team to a historic qualification for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, ending a 39-year drought.
