text: For years I used Tenergy 64 and then 05FX on both wings with a Spirit blade. After trying Acuda S3 on a friend's blade I changed both sides to S3 on my blade about 2 months ago. I find both wings easier to loop with and greater all-around control to boot. For all out power and mid to long distance play (say 7 feet and greater) Tenergy is certainly more stable, but after examining my game (I am approx. 1950 rated) and determining that this type of play is maybe 10% of where my game ends up in tourny's I didn't see any benefit to remaining with the Tenergy line.

The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle has captured the attention of the world, but U.S. farmers should consider themselves lucky...for now. Walking through the "Hall of Ideas" building at Agritechnica, where organizers had grouped all the high-tech equipment, we came across the octocopter you see on this page.
A quick conversation with Christoph Schimmer, geo-konzept, an ag consulting firm showing off its skills and technology at the show, offered a glimpse into the challenges of using UAVs in Europe. The key is rules governing use of UAVs. In Europe, people are very concerned about their privacy and they see these vehicles as a way to invade that privacy.
"The rules are even different in various parts of the country," he explains.
For example, he notes that in Britain you essentially need a pilot's license to fly a UAV - and that includes special classes about rules specific to this tech before an operator can be certified. That's a far cry from U.S. rules that allow use of UAVs below 400 feet.
Yet with all the rules, there is plenty of interest in this technology, Schimmer says. "The increased precision of the information that is available is important," he notes.
European farmers want better insight into how their crops are doing in-season. They have equipment for treating diseases and pests and they want to know how their yields will fare based on information from this system. The UAV is just another piece of information as farmers seek out ways to be more precise.
While the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is pulling together rules for UAV use in the United States, that under 400-foot operating height gives farmers freedom to put these tools to use in gathering information on their farms. In Europe, the task will be just a little tougher, but they'll make it happen.

NASHVILLE (Jan. 21, 2010) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will begin its toughest stretch of Atlantic Sun Conference games so far this season when the Buccaneers take on Lipscomb Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. (EST) inside Allen Arena.
The Bucs (9-9 overall, 5-2 A-Sun) enter the weekend just one game back of first place in the loss column. However, ETSU will face Lipscomb and Belmont twice each over the next five games, with a home contest with first place Campbell sandwiched in on Jan. 27.
After Lipscomb at 8:30 on Thursday, the Bucs will meet Belmont at 5:30 on Saturday evening. The team will then return home for Campbell, followed by the same Lipscomb and Belmont teams at home the next weekend.
For more on this weekend's games, click on the game notes link above or read the game notes below.
Buc bits
Still in the thick of the Atlantic Sun Conference title hunt, the ETSU men��s basketball team returns to action this weekend with a pair of road games in Nashville ... The Bucs went 1-1 in a pair of home games last week, finishing with a 22-point win over FGCU on Saturday ... The team now turns its attention to this weekend��s critical trips to Lipscomb (Jan. 21) and Belmont (Jan. 23) ... The Bucs, 9-9 overall, 5-2 in league play, are tied for third in the league standings, but are just one game back in the loss column ... ETSU is currently 6-2 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center this season, but is just 3-7 on the road this year ... Preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) remains doubtful for the Lipscomb game after having missed the Bucs last nine contests, and is likely headed toward a medical redshirt season ... In Smith��s absence, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) have stepped up their games �� In fact, Hubbard has posted double-doubles in eight of his last 17 games ... When he was picked A-Sun Player of the Week on Nov. ,30, he posted a career best 32-point effort against the Razorbacks and a game-high 25-point effort in the victory over UNF ... Meanwhile, Tubbs posted a career best 29 points against CofC and 21 against Arkansas, to go with nine rebounds ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs lead the team in scoring, with Hubbard averaging 14.7 points per game, and Tubbs pitching in 13.0 a contest.
The series against Lipscomb
The Bucs are 26-9 all-time against the Bisons, in a series that dates back to 1951, a time when both schools were not members of NCAA Division I ... ETSU lost the last meeting between the two schools, a 96-91 defeat last February in Nashville.
Last time against Lipscomb
NASHVILLE (Feb. 16, 2009) �C In a game full of technical fouls, rough play and wild momentum swings, the Lipscomb Bisons built an 18-point first half lead and finally put an end to ETSU��s seven-game win streak in the series with a 96-91 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play inside Allen Arena ... The Bisons (12-13 overall, 8-8 A-Sun) won for the fourth straight contest, while the Buccaneers (17-10, 11-5) dropped their third straight. Even with the loss, the Bucs still remain one game out of first place in the A-Sun, as Jacksonville was upset by Campbell earlier in the evening ... The first half was eerily similar to the first meeting earlier this season at Memorial Center, when Lipscomb hit on seven 3-pointers and held a 45-30 advantage at the break. In this game, the Bisons again hit on seven long-range shots in the first half, connected on 57 percent of their field goal attempts and out-rebounded the Bucs 21-14 on their way to a 47-32 edge at the break ... With the game tied at 17-17, Lipscomb then went on a 22-4 run to make it 39-21 and in the midst of that surge Tiggs picked up his third foul of the game with 8:02 left in the half. While the senior forward sat on the bench things only got worse, but his return to the lineup with under four minutes left in the half resulted in seven straight points and at least helped the Bucs to a manageable deficit at the break ... In the second half, the Bucs roared back with their patented full court defense and wild transition game. Those efforts led to ETSU making it 72-70 when senior Courtney Pigram (Memphis) nailed a 3-pointer from the right wing with 5:31 remaining. However, from there a technical foul on Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and another technical on Bartow moments later allowed Lipscomb to pull back out to a 79-70 advantage with 3:34 left ... The Bucs tried again to rally and even with the score 92-79 with 36 seconds left, the Bucs went on a 12-2 run to cut it to 94-91 with 2.2 seconds left. In the end, Lipscomb��s Jimmy Oden hit two foul shots to ice the game ... For the Bucs, Tiggs scored a game-high 26 points and actually eclipsed 1,000 points for his career with a layup at the 2:08 mark of the first half. Along with Tiggs, junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) posted his sixth career double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds. In addition, freshman guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) had 10 points, and sophomore guard Tommy Hubbard (Boston) returned from injury to post eight rebounds and go 8-of-8 from the line.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 16, 2010) �C In need of a bounce back performance, the ETSU men��s basketball used a tenacious defensive effort to hold Florida Gulf Coast to just 10 points in the first half and ultimately cruised to a decisive 73-51 victory in Atlantic Sun Conference play Saturday afternoon at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center ... The Buccaneers (9-9 overall, 5-2 A-Sun) ultimately forced the Eagles (5-12 overall, 2-6 A-Sun) into 26 turnovers and grabbed 11 steals, and held FGCU to 35 percent shooting from the floor and 23 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Meanwhile, the Bucs got a game-high 21 points from junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston), and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in 15 in the winning effort ... The Bucs, who remain just one game back in the loss column for first place in the league, will now prepare for an important two-game road swing through Nashville next weekend. The Bucs will meet Lipscomb on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., followed by a Saturday afternoon matchup with Belmont at 5:30 p.m. ... In the first half, ETSU fell behind 5-3 when a Reggie Chambers 3-pointer found the bottom of the net. However, from there the Bucs turned up the defensive pressure and used its trapping zone defense to stymie the Eagles. ETSU ultimately used a 17-0 run to power a strong first half and outscored FGCU 31-5 the rest of the half to lead 34-10 at the break ... It was the lowest first-half point total for an ETSU opponent this season ... The second half was no different, as the Bucs�� advantage grew to as many as 33 points at 65-32 with 7:30 left in the contest. The Eagles battled back to cut the final deficit down to 22, but could not manage a significant comeback.
New-look zone defense powers win streak
Since developing a new, attacking-style zone defense, the Buccaneers have won four of their last six games ... The stats back up the zone��s effectiveness, especially while winning three straight games from Dec. 21 to Jan. 9, as ETSU has held opponents to 35 percent shooting from the floor and just 59.3 points per game ... In addition, the Bucs are also outrebounding opponents by more than seven boards a game in that stretch.
Smith status still in doubt
Though he has played in four games this season and most recently scored a season high 14 points against UAB (12/4), senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) continues to battle nagging injuries ... This has left his status for the rest of the year in doubt, and in fact, he is likely headed toward a medical redshirt season.
Williams bringing more offense to the table
Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) has worked his way into the starting lineup thanks mainly to back-to-back strong efforts on the offensive end ... Against North Georgia, Williams posted a career high 22 points in leading the Bucs to the win, and he followed that effort with an 18-point night against Murray State ... He has scored in double figures in seven of his last nine games ... Currently, Williams is one of three Bucs averaging double figures scoring this year with 10.7 points per game.
Hubbard steps up game, averaging near double-double
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game, and those strides have led to some solid numbers ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard posted a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas and dropped in another game-high 26 in the win over UNF ... He currently leads the Bucs with 14.7 points per game and 8.5 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in eight of the last 17 games, his efforts began to pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga back on Nov. 17 ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn��t stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Sollazzo to honor Coy with number change
When ETSU��s rising sophomore forward Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) was tragically killed in a car accident this summer, it left the entire Buccaneer community with a deep sense of loss ... As is often the case, those that are left to mourn have looked for ways to remember the Bucs�� 6-foot-11 "Gentle Giant." ... For sophomore guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), who was Coy��s roommate, the answer was simple ... Changing his jersey number from No. 20 to Coy��s No. 43, Sollazzo will play the 2009-10 season to honor his friend and have that memory with him each night.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 134-41 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 77 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center ... In 2008-09, the Bucs were again 11-2 at home ... This season, ETSU is 4-2 in the Dome and 1-0 in Brooks Gym.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs�� 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

Side-scrolling beat 'em up Double Dragon II: The Revenge, the arcade version is being remade for Xbox Live Arcade. Good news so far, right? What may be less exciting is the 3D remake of the arcade original, which looks... well...
Based on Co-optimus' preview of the game now known as Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons, the modern-day update is lacking in a little visual charm, bordering on bland. Fortunately, it looks a bit better in motion, with an expanded move set and combo system.
The price (1200 Microsoft Points) may turn you off if the visuals haven't and unanswered questions about the availability of online cooperative play may kill Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons's hopes of getting many of us back into Billy and Jimmy beat 'em up mode.
Wander of the Dragons looks like it has potential for mindless, enemy stomping thrills, but we'll have to wait until September to give it a spin.

The Virtual Inaugural Address, 2013
My first reaction of course is to ask Mr. Whittle if he would run for president.
And then I remember: they kill all our leaders. And why are we pretending that elections are going to make any difference? With 'friends' like the two Johns Boehner and McCain, who needs any more enemies?
A first step for me is to withdraw my energies from this regime and all of its infected parts. They will not occupy my brain or sap my energy. Living well is your best revenge. Part of that living is to practice freeing generations of Americans from this mental slavery. It is an affirmative duty for all true Americans.
Now scoundrels, go from us in peace…before you are forced to leave in shame.

McDonald's Will Post Calories on Menu Boards So You Can See Just How Much You're Pigging Out
In a bold move on Wednesday, McDonald's announced that it will post calorie counts for all of its food items on menu boards and drive-thrus across their 14,000 restaurants in the US.
So, what spurred this Big Mac of a decision?
The move comes ahead of an upcoming rule in the Obama healthcare plan that will require restaurants with over 20 locations to clearly post calorie and nutrition information on menus. The rest of the fast-food industry will likely follow McDonald's lead, rather than waiting until the rule comes into effect.
Consumers in California and New York City won't be affected by the decision because those markets already have their own laws in place that require calories posted on menus.
Greg Watson, the senior vice president of menu innovation for McDonald's, thinks that the decision is "the right thing to do," adding, "It's what a leader would do."
According to Watson, the fast food giant has future plans to incorporate more healthy options into their menus, such as seasonal fruit and vegetables. It's also testing a breakfast sandwich that will be served on a whole grain English Muffin.

Good code solves only existing issues, without extra universality, doesn't contain anti-patterns and covered by tests to be able to evolve. (c) me
Full-stack programmer.
AngularJS fan and developer since 2011 (from pre-1.0 stage),
PHP backend programmer since 2004. Like to write clean OOP code with unit-tests.
Technologies, apps and services I have experience with: SOA, REST, AngularJS, PHP, Ionic, D3, Jasmine, Protractor, Twitter Bootstrap, Yeoman, Grunt, Restangular (prefer ngResource), UI.Router, AngularStrap, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Couchbase, MongoDB, GAE, AWS, Cloudflare, Beanstalk, Mandrill, PayPal, Stripe, Nexmo, AWS S3 (and lot of other APIs), Jira, YouTrack, Git, Travis CI, PHPUnit, Agile, TDD...
Things I'd like to get more experience with: Go, AtScript, Famous, RethinkDB, websockets, Polymer, HTML5 Media (audio, video, canvas).
Things I don't want to work with: MS SQL, CoffeeScript.
I like MVC and REST paradigms, have experience in writing REST API (also with OPTIONS method support and auto-generated Markdown documentation). Have experience with PayPal API, Amazon S3, Cloudflare, Mandrill, Nexmo and others.
Very passionate to work with AngularJS.
I think unit-tests are essential for code evolution. There is no code without need to evolution. TDD helps to build modular and easy maintainable system. Time, spent to writing tests is much less than time that will be spent to debug.
Have a lot of experience with caching (also with semaphores, preventing dog-pile and race condition effects). I wrote an PHP-wrapper for Redis, published on redis.io and successfully working with high load, getting thankful feedback from programmers who use it. Like to optimize performance of algorithms and applications.
Time of developer's work costs more than server's resources. Page must be generated fast, should have minimum full page reloads, minimum http-requests - all for user's comfort.
My favorite books are 'Clean code', 'Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture' and 'PHP Objects, Patterns, and Practice' . Also, I like ideas of Miško Hevery.
I like and respect SOLID principles, hexagonal architecture, MVC pattern, and, especially, Separation of concerns (it's not all bookshelf, just most important for me).

I am finding the options for copying text are very limited and partly functional at best. Having the Select slider as in other apps would be great. When I choose sentence or paragraph, oftentimes I don't actually get the entire preset selection. Quite frustrating.

Revision as of 05:33, 8 March 2013
Warning: None of these tools are officially supported by Arch devs. See this forum thread.
AUR Helpers are written to make using the Arch User Repository more comfortable.
AUR uploader helpers
- aurploader — prompts the user for an AUR username and password and will then upload PKGBUILD tarballs to the AUR. Before uploading each package, the user is prompted to select a category. When the uploads have completed, the user is asked if the cookie file should be kept so that the script can be run again without needing the AUR username and password to be re-entered. It can include comments, vote and toggle notifications as well. It is now part of the python3-aur package, which includes modules for AUR automation and some other helpers.
- aurup — a command line tool to upload AUR packages
- burp — fast and simple AUR uploader written in C. Supports persistent cookies for seamless logins
AUR search/build helpers
This is a list of helper utilities that search and/or build packages.
- aur.so — A ~150 byte Bash script outside the package system that downloads and builds AUR packages named on the command line (and their dependencies). Useful for bootstrapping more full-featured AUR helpers.
- https://github.com/stuartpb/aur.so || bash <(curl aur.so) [package ...]
- aura — a multi-lingual package manager for Arch Linux written in Haskell. Has all pacman options, new ones for managing AUR packages, and a nifty logo.
- aurifere — AUR wrapper for lazy people in Python.
- aurinstaller — a full of bugs bash AUR helper.
- aurnotify — a tool set to notify the status of your favorite packages from AUR.
- aurbuild — tool to download and build packages from the AUR.
- aurget — aims to be a simple, pacman-like interface to the AUR. It tries to make the AUR convenient; whether the user wishes to find, download, build, install, or update AUR packages quickly. Aurget does not wrap any pure pacman commands, this is by design
- aurora — very simple frontend for the AUR. It allows the user to install AUR packages, download the AUR packages (for manual installation) and also offers an AUR upgrade feature. By design, aurora does not wrap pacman
- aurpac — light'n'fast AUR and pacman frontend
- aurquery — caching wrapper around the AUR's RPC interface using the python3-aur modules
- autoaur — script for automatic mass downloading, updating, building, and installing groups of AUR packages
- cower — fast and simple AUR search and download agent, which will also check for updates and download dependencies.
- meat — front-end for cower ( see above ) and it is fully written in bash
- Note: Meat is in actually under development/alpha state.
- https://github.com/e36freak/meat || meat-gitAUR
- owl — pacman and cower wrapper focused on simplicity
- pacaur — fast workflow AUR helper, using cower as backend. It aims at speed and simplicity, and is designed to minimize user prompt interaction and to use an uncluttered interface.
- packer — wrapper for pacman and the AUR. It was designed to be a simple and very fast replacement for the basic functionality of Yaourt. It has commands to install, update, search, and show information for any package in the main repositories and in the AUR. Use pacman for other commands, such as removing a package
- paktahn — yaourt replacement. It is under active development and already includes improvements such as a local cache for fast searches and interactive installation
- pbfetch — script which can be used as a pacman-independent AUR helper or a pacman wrapper with additional AUR functionality. Pbfetch aims to be a simple and fast versus the well established yaourt. Pbfetch can be used as a shortcut to simply download PKGBUILDs from AUR or automatically build with dependency resolution among other things. The user can select which AUR packages to upgrade using a simple menu as well as update all AUR packages
- pbget — simple command-line tool for retrieving PKGBUILDs and local source files for Arch Linux. It is able to retrieve files from the official SVN and CVS web interface, the AUR and the ABS rsync server
- PKGBUILDer — a python3 AUR helper with dependency support. It was (probably) the first helper supporting updates through multiinfo. Contains many useful features and is written to be fast and verbose, to eliminate long waiting times.
- pkgman — script which helps to manage a local repository. It retrieves the PKGBUILD and related files for given name from ABS or AUR and lets you edit them, automatically generates checksums, backs up the source tarball, builds and adds the package to your local repository. Then you can install it as usual with pacman. It also has AUR support for submitting tarballs and leaving comments
- spinach — just another bash AUR helper
- srcman — pacman/makepkg wrapper written in Bash, which transparently handles pacman operations on 'source packages'. This means, for example, that packages can be specified for installation either explicitly (pacman's
-Uoperation) or can be installed from a (source) repository (-S operation). The address of an AUR pacman database can be found in the corresponding forum thread, by the way. The primary goal of this project is to provide a complete pacman wrapper and therefore, srcman supports all current pacman operations for binary and source packages
- trizen — A lightweight wrapper for AUR in Perl.
- yaourt (Yet Another User Repository Tool) — community-contributed wrapper for pacman which adds seamless access to the AUR, allowing and automating package compilation and installation from your choice of the thousands of PKGBUILDs in the AUR, in addition to the many thousands of available Arch binary packages. Yaourt uses the same exact syntax as pacman, which saves you from relearning an entirely new method of system maintenance, but also adds new options. Yaourt expands the power and simplicity of pacman by adding even more useful features and provides pleasing, colorized output, interactive search mode, and much more
Other useful libraries.
- haskell-archlinux — library to programmatically access the AUR and package metadata from the Haskell programming language
- parched — pacman package and PKGBUILD parser module written in python

information Here regarding the OpenPro Software
PHP and LAMP, the key to Open Source ERP software
PHP is the scripting language for OpenPro open source erp
What is the PHP scripting language? Why is it so popular for open source software? How does it work? How can I start using it? These are all questions that the newbie Web professional (and others) ask, especially as PHP becomes the de facto standard rivaling ASP and JSP. OpenPro business software is the first erp software solution to use PHP scripting language. PHP is in over 85% of the internet applications across the world. There is currently over 1 million php programmers available today.
What is PHP?
PHP is the P in the LAMP stack, or Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP. PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is an open source, server-side, HTML embedded scripting language used to create dynamic Web pages. PHP script is embedded within an HTML document, and the programmer can jump between HTML and PHP seamlessly within the document while the code remains inaccessible to users because it is processed on the server. It combines the power of CGI scripting with the ease of working within HTML.
Why is this important? Well, "way back when," a form on a Web page was a big deal, and coders across the land struggled with complex CGI scripting to make something as simple as sending the contents of a form to e-mail work reliably. For those of us working on Intranets who were not hardcore coders, it was a hair-pulling affair even when using pre-written freeware scripts.
Today, however, with the relative ease of PHP coupled with its depth and power, it is not only easier than ever to write your own code, but the Web abounds with free and shareware PHP scripts at places like, ajack, json, javascripts, OpenPro, Hotscripts and PHP Scripts. From calendars to shopping carts, the list is endless.
Why is it Popular?
Part of why PHP is popular is simply because it has become ubiquitous. Hosting companies install it as part of their core package and more and more useful applications for the end user are available. The upsurge in open source usage certainly helps the case for PHP. To get a sense of the trend of popularity and growth of PHP, visit these recent Netcraft survey results at http://www.php.net/usage.php. Clearly PHP has arrived and is here to stay.
Certainly the world didn't need another scripting language just for the fun of it, so what did PHP do that the others didn't? Some of the key advantages that PHP offers and why OpenPro uses it:
- Ease of use
- Enhanced security
- Cross-platform operability
- Compatibility with a wide variety of databases
- Support for most current web servers
- Communicates with numerous network protocols
- Not limited to HTML output
- Strong text processing capabilities
- Transparency to the end user
- Support for regular expressions
PHP offers the best of both worlds since it allows access to built-in variables like CGI and can interact with forms and cookies, yet maintains the elegance and simplicity of an easy to learn, easy to use language with high degrees of code reusability.
Once you have an operating system and Web server set up, PHP installation is fairly easy. Essentially you need to install the PHP processor and have your server associate .php files with it. PHP.net has detailed installation instructions for UNIX/Linux, Windows, and Mac OS on its Web site.
Once you have PHP installed, all you need to do is place your php files in your Web directories and the server will automatically parse them when someone points their web-browser to that page.
The amount of support available for PHP is wide. Don't think that Open Source means lack of "formal" resources or that you have to go it alone. A quick glance at PHP.Net boasts numerous new "news" items ranging from the new O'Reilly book "Mastering Regular Expressions" to the announcement of several conferences, expos, and learning opportunities.
And, if you prefer working with a third-party that packages everything together nicely for you and offers support, you can take that route with PHP as well. Zend is a company that provides products and consulting to enhance the entire PHP lifecycle within your organization. Zend has taken all the pieces of PHP from the server platform to the developers desktop and made it enterprise ready with less effort and less time on the part of the IT staff.
If certification is a big deal for you and your staff, now you can take that route with PHP as well. In Zend announced the availability of PHP certification enabling developers to test and certify their expertise. As PHP within the enterprise grows, it gives you a way to measure staff and consultant savvy in an objective way.
How Does it Work?
PHP code can be embedded into HTML, XML, or plain text for the purpose of generating dynamic content for a variety of web outputs. As a document is called from a browser, the Web server encounters the PHP code and sends it through the PHP processor for execution. Dynamically generated results are then displayed back to the user in her browser.
Part of what makes PHP so powerful is how transparent to the user the myriad of things that PHP can do on the backend is. It can do many things, some of the most popular being:
- Interacting with a database
- Integrating with external libraries to generate PDF documents and parse XML
- Accessing and using built-in variables from both the server side (environmental variables) and the client side (forms, cookies, etc.)
- Memory management
- With the relatively short learning curve for programmers, the widely available open source support community, frequency of new releases, and speed of execution, it makes PHP ideal for web developers.
How Can I Start Using It?
The simple answer? Jump right in! The one thing that holds true regardless of the technology you work with is this: the infamous "hello world" is the way to get started. In PHP, our "hello world" would look as follows: PHP example.
The beauty of PHP is that you can jump in and out of PHP coding using these tags within your HTML. Like with all text-based code, use a text editor (not a word processor) for best results.
As you would expect, PHP has a complete syntax all its own. From variables to operators to built-in functions, it is pretty much the same as anything else - refer to the reference manual until it becomes second nature. If you would like, you can refer to the complete online manual for PHP at: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/index.php
The Bottom
Line: Open Source ERP software is more flexible and less costly with
Hope this page gave you a better understanding of why OpenPro uses PHP, and how you can have a complete business system running using the LAMP stack and OpenPro ERP Software.

Create a Mobile Website
Budget $1500-3000 USD
We want to develope a computer-based transportation matchmaking network service that provides to travellers a medium where private car owners and public travellers, travelling toward the same destination can share their travel cost. Thus provides a break on transportation cost load, by linking the private car owners and the travellers with the introduction of a faster, cheaper and reliable means of transport.
The system will help car owners / drivers to publish their travel plan using the mobile/web application and the vistors or other members can join the travel by paying a suggested fee. A robust engine will be designed to take care of fare calculation based on several parameters:
• The model of the car
• Years it has been in use
Car Share calculates energy consumption of the car for the distance covered for a specific trip. This energy consumption is then allocated as a relative transport cost for each of the four passenger's seats plus driver's seat.
Here are some few features we expect on both applications:
• Both application should be running on Real Time and on a cloud server so that we can track the location of everyone currently traveling through their mobile devices on a google map where users can simple click a marker on the map representing a user and open up a pop up chat window on the map.
Users should be able to check the progress of their journey on Real Time getting thei current location, distance traveled and distance left to reach their destination.
• Public travelers(passengers) should be able to rate the car owner they traveled with and like wise the car owner should be able to rate the public travelers.
• All users should be able to see their traveling history and read about the fitback and rateings of the users.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Woman and Two Supportive Men Fired After Sex Discrimination Complaint, Federal Agency Charged
DENVER – Oldcastle SW Group, Inc., doing business as United Companies of Mesa County, has agreed to pay $498,000 and furnish other relief to settle a sex discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, the woman who complained was hired in 1998 by Delta Sand and Gravel of Grand Junction and Montrose, Colo. (now part of Old Castle SW Group, doing business as United Companies of Mesa County). She drove a truck, batched concrete, dispatched trucks and acted as plant manager before she was assigned to work as a quality control technician, where she remained until she was fired.
The EEOC charges in its suit that through much of her employment, the woman who eventually complained (and who has asked not to be publicly identified) was in what was widely considered to be a "man's job." After she started working in quality control, the sex-based bias against her became overt, culminating in sex-related name-calling and active interference with her ability to perform her job. Managers and co-workers alike were overheard making crude gender-based insults, and expressing in clear terms that women should not be working in the plant.
The EEOC also said that several male co-workers saw and overheard the harassment and degrading treatment and offered to support the woman if she wanted to complain. She then did complain to management, and identified the men who offered to support her. The men confirmed her allegations, the EEOC said. After a plant-wide meeting was held to discuss the complaints, these men also expressed fear to the managers that they would be retaliated against because they supported their female co-worker.
According to the EEOC's complaint (EEOC v. Old Castle SW Group, doing business as United Companies of Mesa County, Civ. No. 08-cv-01385-RPM, U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado), the employees' concern about retaliation was well-founded. The department manager called the men "crybaby motherf-----s" and "troublemakers," and told them they had better "shut the f..k up." Over the next seven months, the company terminated the woman and two of the men who supported her.
Sex discrimination and retaliation for complaining about it violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement.
In addition to the monetary relief to the employees, the three-year decree settling the suit enjoins United Companies of Mesa County from engaging in harassment on the basis of sex and from retaliating against employees who complain about it. The employer agreed to train its current and future managers and employees on anti-discrimination laws and to post notices stating its commitment to maintaining an environment free of sexual harassment and retaliation.
"Employers have a responsibility to maintain an environment free of sex discrimination and retaliation," said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "Here, the managers themselves committed both those offenses. This settlement achieves the EEOC's objectives by providing important training to the managers and all employees to prevent this kind of misconduct in the future, and brings appropriate relief to the three victims of discrimination and retaliation."
Rayford Irvin, Acting District Director of the EEOC's Phoenix District (which includes Colorado) said, "When employees are retaliated against for voicing complaints about discrimination, that particularly undermines the purpose of the anti-discrimination laws because it chills other employees from standing up for their rights. We have seen a dramatic increase in retaliation charges in recent years, and the EEOC will continue to combat that form of misconduct."
Retaliation charges filed with EEOC offices nationwide have trended upward since the early 1990s, from approximately 12,000 in FY 1992 to a record high of 33,613 in FY 2009.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov. The EEOC's Denver Field Office, located at 303 East 17th Avenue, Suite 410, in Denver, enforces federal anti-discrimination laws in Colorado and Wyoming.

Al Snow might not be able to list all of the wrestling holds he knows, or all of the opponents he's faced, or all of the cities he's wrestled in. But ask him to list all of the movies he's been in, and he'll proudly show you his IMDB page. And while that list isn't as long as the others, Snow is looking to add to it whenever he can.
"I started pursuing acting like I did the wrestling business," Snow told SLAM! Wrestling. "I thought it would be a natural extension of what I've been doing for the past 31 years, and that it might be something that I would enjoy, and I started to get roles."
Though he has a number of films under his belt, Snow isn't ashamed to admit that he's still learning the craft. But he knows that, as with wrestling, it's an ongoing learning process.
"Each time I get a role, I learn a little bit more and I get a little bit better," he said. "(When I first started), doing multiple retakes really threw me off. Also, gearing myself back -- I'm used to playing in a big 20,000 seat arena, and (filming movies), you've got to play to a small camera. I also had to get used to the idea that you've got as much time as you need, you're not limited to 30 seconds to a minute. And then you've got your script which outlines what the writer wants you to say, as opposed to 'here are your talking points, make sure you get those in.'"
But it wasn't all new ground, he noted.
"Where it's a lot like wrestling is that once you're in front of the camera, it's up to you to make the character. You're free to do that any way you want. You don't have to just stand there and recite lines. You say it at your own pace, your own cadence, you can put emphasis where you want, you can pick things up. You think how would you really feel if you were in that actual situation, and you do it. It got a lot easier once I started realizing that."
Even though he's found his footing in acting -- recent roles have included Overtime, VIViD and Money Shot -- Snow isn't ready to hang up his wrestling boots right now.
"It's enjoyable," he acknowledged, "but nothing beats wrestling. Nothing. But I've been very fortunate to have been in a lot of different productions. Hopefully I'll be doing more. I wish it would come about more. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to it on a regular enough basis that, at some point, I'll only do that."
In the meantime, though, Snow has a lot on his plate with various bookings, and his work with TNA Wrestling, as the Senior Director of Talent Relations and Programming. That role, he says, allows him to give back to the business by helping develop today's young talent.
"I enjoy it very much," he confirmed. "It gives me an opportunity to still get to be a part -- and not just a part, but an integral part -- of wrestling. In trying to find new talent, I'm hoping it will allow the wrestling business to survive. Let's face it, I don't even know if I have a legacy. But I'm hoping, if nothing else, my legacy in the wrestling business would be my involvement in giving young talent an opportunity, and to teach them what is the art, and the business of professional wrestling."
Snow's other legacy may be his unwavering commitment to educate young wrestlers on exactly that -- the business of professional wrestling. It's an understanding, he says, that many have forgotten about.
"It's the wrestlers' business," he said bluntly. "Not the writers, not the managers, not the promoters. It has been, and always will be, the wrestlers' business. If the wrestlers don't understand, or don't really know the art and the business of professional wrestling, it'll die."
"There are things that are intrinsic to professional wrestling," he continued. "In the past, these were taught and passed on. But unfortunately, so many of the veterans have left the wrestling business. There are tons of wrestling schools out there that people say, 'Oh, they're all awesome.' But they only teach guys how to wrestle -- how to perform physically. That's not the art of wrestling."
"The art of wrestling is to 'work' the audience, to get the most emotion out of them to motivate them to pay to come back and see you again. It's knowing what it is that the audience will pay to believe in, and taking that and using that and making them believe as much as possible -- at least as long as they're in the building -- that thing that they wanted to believe in is actually occurring, which will then invoke that emotion."
In his view, that art is lost, and he's not sure if it may be too late to resurrect it. What he says is required is that the wrestlers need to go back and remember the first principles of the business.
"There's only one thing that is fake in professional wrestling. It's the same thing that was fake in 1901, and it's the same thing that's fake in 2013. That's the art, the actual going in the ring and working the gimmick of the match -- which is the thing the audience has paid to believe in -- the telling of the story that invokes some kind of emotional response. Until the day comes that they can make something new fake about the wrestling business, it's still the wrestling business. Yes, there are aspects about the business that have changed. The audience has changed, it's become more sophisticated."
"But when the bell rang in 1901, you would go out there and get the people to believe that you're trying to beat the other guy and not lose. And when the bell rings today in 2013, you're still going to go out there and try to convince them that you're actually trying to win, not lose. That hasn't changed."
Snow is unapologetic about the passion he demonstrates when talking about this topic, his voice getting louder and more intense during the interview. Indeed, he noted that he only cares so much because of his love for the business.
"This is the greatest business in the world," he said simply. "You can't get any better. You get to be an action hero, a rock start, an athlete, a soap opera star. When you can get these people to react, to stand up, sit down, laugh, cry, cheer, boo, whatever you want, as much as you want, there's nothing better on the face of the Earth."

The Flour Works- or does it ?
May 12, 2012
After finding a new restaurant that we intended to check out today closed, a friend and I ambled along to Kalyani Nagar to look at a much reviewed place The Flour Works.
Since there were no signs to help us find it, and without an address, we drove up and down several tree lined lanes finally stumbling upon it close to the Joggers park. With a large red and gold signboard it looked, from the outside, like a chinese noodle factory.
Inside was cool and inviting with a high ceiling, if a bit messy in style.In fact it had no style at all. Strange white lace patterned curtains with tie backs. A forest of different wood tones. Teak chairs, dark wood panelling and pine tables. The decor was, in short, indifferent. The tables were set with maroon runners and the glassware was grubby.
It took some time for a waiter to present himself at our table . The menu seemed to consist of mostly breakfast and brunch items, eggs, porridge, waffles and sandwiches. Since it was lunchtime we thought we would take the waiters suggestion and order from the Mains .
We ordered a cooling drink each as it was a hot day. Mine was a watermelon, mint and cranberry juice attractively named Frosted and my friend chose another, equally delightfully named,Snow Lemonade.
Fifteen minutes later the lemonade arrived and after an interval of another five minutes the watermelon juice was presented.I liked the waternelon juice which was cool and fresh, with the cranberry giving it a bit of a tang.
We then waited a further 25 minutes for our main course to turn up.
First came the chicken and bean chili topped with grated cheese accompanied by slices of garlic bread. After a break of another ten minutes came the pan fried Basa with a lemon caper sauce along with a cauliflower puree and green beans.
Neither was plated very appetisingly. The fish was underdone and not very fresh though the sauce was piquant. The beans were raw and too mature and woody.The one saving grace was the cauliflower puree which was fluffy and flavourful.
The chicken bean chili was tasty and hot though nothing special.
Quantities were painfully small. This main course is meant to be fattened with a salad, an appetizer and a dessert. Do NOT expect to share it amongst two people.
The service was tired and unenthusiastic and we seemed to be eating in relay, first one then the next.
All said and done a disappointing meal and overpriced too...a cold drink and a main course came to Rs 1100 for two people.
Perhaps The Flour Works would be more rewarding to those who stick to its breakfast and sandwich menu ?

In just five years, Hayfield Secondary School teacher Ken Halla has turned his blog on teaching history from an advice-style column for friends and fellow teachers to a must-read with a national following.
"Three years ago, I was happy we were getting 20,000 hits a month. Now, it's [about] 50,000," said Halla, who teaches ninth-grade world history, Advanced Placement U.S. Government and AP Comparative Government.
Halla said his government and world history blogs have the most hits in the country of any blogs of their type. His U.S. history blog is second in hits in its category, he said. "Essentially, it is just me teaching others how to do what I do on a daily basis in the classroom," he said.
With 4,100 posts in the last five years, Halla said, the draw of his blogs is a focus on what he calls "flipping the classroom."
"It's me trying to teach teachers how to use technology and how they can expand what they offer," he said.
Halla kicked off with three blogs: World History Teaching Blog, U.S. Government Teachers Blog and U.S. History Teachers Blog. West Potomac High School teacher George Coe runs the newest addition to the Halla-blog family, the World Religions blog. "Education is all about sharing information," Coe said. "Social media has really revolutionized the way we teach and the way we can access material."
He said teachers are turning more to social media to find resources and discuss lessons. For example, on Twitter, teachers hold weekly chats on world history from 8 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, he said.
Coe teaches AP World History, Honors World History for ninth-graders and an elective World Religions class, which mostly has juniors and seniors.
"We cover the major living religions," Coe said. "We start with the primal religions [oral religions from North America, Australia and Africa] and then we switch to eastern religions: Buddhism, Hinduism."
Coe became a Halla disciple after taking a Fairfax County public schools-provided three-month course on technology in the classroom for teachers two years ago. Halla taught the class and continues to teach similar classes this year.
"He's probably one of the most knowledgeable technology gurus in the county," Coe said. He began blogging under Halla's format in January. So far, his blog has received 4,000 hits and is excited about its performance so far.
Halla said he receives e-mails regularly from teachers outside Fairfax County seeking advice on integrating technology or planning lessons with technology. Other school systems, such as Lincoln public schools in Nebraska, are linking to his blog as a resource for teachers.
"There are a lot of places that have started to do this," Halla said. "For me, it's not only allowed me to help other people but it's helped me to be a better teacher."
Madison High School history and government teacher Frank Franz said Halla deserves credit for tapping into a teaching trend. "He was out front compiling resources for teachers. . . . And this isn't part of his work time; he's doing this on his own time," said Franz, who contributes entries to two of the blogs.
Franz teaches AP U.S. Government and World History I for ninth-graders. In his classroom, students use cellphones to answer online quizzes. Their responses are projected in real time on an overhead screen. Technology is just another tool to excite students about learning, Franz said.
On his contributions to the blog, Franz said, "If I see it and other teachers can use it, it goes on the blog. . . . What [Halla] has done is extended the learning community. There's no self promotion here."
Halla said he has made about $80, at most, on his blog through advertising. Teachers said word of mouth is driving the expanded interest in his work.
One of Halla's greatest hits is a blog entry on the real meaning of "The Wizard of Oz." The blog describes how the book and movie are political interpretations or commentary on the economy and industry of the 1900s. The entry includes links to resources teachers can use in their classrooms. "When I first posted it, it just exploded," Halla said. "It went on for months. . . . And you ask what grows hits? That's one of them, just thousands and thousands of hits."
Halla said his hope for the blog is some kind of corporate sponsorship that would let him pilot online teaching courses on using technology. Out-of-state teachers wishing to take the courses Halla uses to instruct educators locally would have access to them. "Someone needs to push" technology use, Halla said. "A few years ago, if I would have said every kid will have a phone, you would have laughed. I think two or three years from now, everyone will bring in laptops. . . . Some people look at me like I'm blue when I present this stuff. . . . If I'm doing it in my 23rd year [of teaching], you can do it too."

Guy Files Lawsuit To Strip Google Of Its Trademarks
from the good-luck-with-that dept
In this case, Elliott is pissed that Google won a ruling against him after he registered over 750 domain names that used Google's marks in some manner. He's got a pretty big uphill battle here. While "google" may be a verb, it seems like it's a verb in the context of using Google's search engine, not using another alternative search engine. Elliott's claims seem to focus on the fact that google is used as a verb, rather than that it's generic. For example, he quotes CEO Larry Page telling people to "have fun and keep googling!" and then seems to think this supports is case. It does not. It's not hard to see how it actually suggests the exact opposite. You would assume that someone in Larry Page's position would say something like that because he wanted people to keep using Google's products, not because he wanted them to generically search the internet with anyone's search engine.
I'd be quite surprised if this actually got anywhere.

New finished painting (Her Little Sidekick)Posted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Hey everyone, :)
Here is my latest finished painting titled "Her Little sidekick".
I am very happy with the way it turned out. I had a lot of fun working on this painting and I especially loved working with this color scheme.
The story behind this work is that she is a circus performer who is tired and stressed from a long day of work and is being cheered up and entertained by her little sidekick (a Capuchin monkey) that is offering her a snack.
This image was painted using Photoshop and Painter.
Here are a few close-ups.

Another work-in-progress (Forbidden Love)Posted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Here is yet another work-in-progress (titled "Forbidden Love") that I thought I would post here. I had started it as an entry to an art contest but couldn't find the time to finish it by the deadline. Aside from my busy work schedule I hope to find some time in the near future to finish it. There is still quite a bit of work needed to be done on this. I want to push myself farther with this one as I try to do with every new painting.
The story behind this work is dear to my heart and relates to a big issue that the world faces today. They are a young couple who ran away together because their cultures and families won't accept them as a couple. They are both from different countries and religious backgrounds though their countries are right next to each other their families hate each other and will never let them be together.
I wanted to capture a moment with them in a state of fear and bliss savoring every last moment that they have together before or if they ever are found.

Although "indigenous" and "traditional" are key concepts in the Intellectual Property Laws Amendment Bill of 2010, they are not defined therein. The Bill does, however, provide a definition of "indigenous community" that is very clear as to where one should look for indigenous communities for the purposes of this Bill, and that there is likely to be a plurality of such communities, but is very vague as to which groups exactly will qualify as being indigenous. It is uncertain whether or not the current vague wording of the definition would be strong enough to widen the much narrower understanding of indigenousness prevailing in other South African legislation, the legislation of selected other jurisdictions, and the United Nations. Recommendations are made as to how the definition of an "indigenous community" may be rephrased to address these uncertainties more clearly.

Shabbat Nachamu... The Sabbath of Consolation
July 19, 2013
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Shabbat message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, July 19, 2013.
Shabbat Nachamu... The Sabbath of Consolation
Last week was Tisha B'Av which commemorates the destruction of Jerusalem first by the Babylonians, and then the Romans. Seven weeks later is Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year. The rabbis considered this span of time cosmic. Seven days is the number of days of creation in the very first chapter of Genesis, the beginning of the entire Torah. Seven is the number of days of the week. Seven is the year from one Sabbatical Year to the next. Seven is the number of weeks between Passover and Shavuot, the "Feast of Weeks." Seven weeks is the period of time between Tisha B'Av and Rosh HaShanah! Since the Jewish New Year is a time of self-evaluation and soul searching; of forgiveness and atonement, the rabbis understood that this seven week period is a period of transition from tragedy to enlightenment and hope. This Sabbath, therefore, is Shabbat Nachamu, the Sabbath of Consolation. In fact all seven of the Sabbaths between Tisha B'Av are considered "Sabbaths of Consolation." On all seven, the Haftarah, the readings from the prophets that follow the reading of the Torah, are from the Book of Isaiah. All seven offer words of comfort to an exiled Jewish community. This Shabbat, we read from Isaiah, chapter 40:
Comfort ye, Oh comfort ye my people,
Says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem
That her warfare is accomplished,
And her iniquity is expiated.
G.F. Handel's famous setting of the words of Isaiah.
Shabbat Shalom

Division of Workers' Compensation releases first annual report
of progress on workers' comp reforms
SB 899 implementation on target and moving forward
SAN FRANCISCO - The California Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) has released its first annual report of progress on implementation of Senate Bill (SB) 889, the law authorizing workers' compensation reform passed overwhelmingly by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Schwarzenegger on Apr. 19, 2004.
"The division has accomplished nearly insurmountable tasks this year -- and the hard work is paying off," said DWC Administrative Director Andrea Lynn Hoch. "If insurers pass recommended rate reductions through in full, by late 2005 employers will see a reduction estimated at over 26 percent from peak rates charged in 2003."
Under SB 899, the problems of escalating workers' comp costs are mitigated by providing prompt, effective medical treatment to injured workers so they recover from injuries and return to work, and by bringing objectivity and consistency to the disability rating system, which will provide more accurate ratings and lead to fewer disputes.
"The DWC team met all its statutory deadlines for implementing regulations under SB 899," said Hoch. "We've also approved nearly 500 medical provider networks to date, so the framework for effective medical treatment is in place."
Emergency regulations for the new permanent disability rating schedule (PDRS) became effective Jan. 1, 2005 and the division took comments on the permanent PDRS regulations, which are expected to become effective Apr. 30. The new PDRS provides objective and consistent methodology to determine disability ratings. SB 899's return to work provision supplies an incentive for employers to return injured workers to the job.
"Drafting these regulations is a vital part of implementing the reforms, because the regulations help users of the workers' compensation system understand how to apply the law," said Hoch.
In the first year of SB 899, the division has also focused on hiring new employees, providing internal and external training and on reaching out to employers and injured workers with updated materials and workshops.

annual report of progress," visit the DWC Web site at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dwc/SB899/SB899Review2005.htm

The first review of this product covers much of what I would say. I picked up this product because it was intriguing, short, appeared useful and would aid a Wizard character in my Pathfinder campaign. The price point was right for the content.
This Bullet Point-pdf is 4 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial/SRD, 2 pages of content, so let's check this out!
Presenting us with 10 feats to modify the mage armor spell, here we go:
-Defensive Spell Focus: When you cast a spell that grants you AC, you get an additional 1 AC.
-Deflective Armor: Apply force-based AC-bonuses also on your touch attack AC.
-Eldritch Armor: When under the protection of a mage armor (or similar effect), you add the AC bonus to the DC of dispelling attempts made towards your person and worn equipment.
-Explosive Mage Armor: Allows you dismiss an AC-granting force effect to break binds that tie you or escape grapples and similar predicaments. Cool idea and iconic imagery.
-Heighten Mage Armor (Metamagic): Increases the effective level of the mage armor and allows you to get 1 AC for every 1 spell level you make the spell. VERY cool mechanically, as it keeps the spell useful at higher levels - somewhat resembling the psionic system being applied to vancian casting. Two thumbs up!
-Mage Armor Properties: reduce a mage armor's AC bonus of up to 50% and grant it magic armor properties instead - I only wished that more armor qualities would be available - as written, only 5 different ones can be traded in via this feat.
-Shapeable Mage Armor: Either make it harder to confirm criticals or grant your mage armor a locked gauntlet, armor spikes or even use it to slightly improve regular armor, filling in the gaps. Now this is a useful, versatile feat.
-Slick Armor: Casting takes longer, but the armor grants you its bonus to CMD vs. grapple and escape artist checks.
-Summoner Armor: You can cast mage armor at short range on summoned creatures and may add the spell as a swift action to a summoned creature of yours. Very cool and something especially summoners (d'unh) will enjoy.
-Witch Armor: Your Mage Armor also grants you half its bonus as resistance bonus to saving throws against supernatural abilities.
Editing and formatting are top-notch, I didn't notice any glitches. Layout adheres to SGG's 3-column standard and is crisp and no-frills. The b/w-artwork is nice, the CGI on the cover isn't. The pdf has no bookmarks, but needs none at this length. This pdf provides us with several rock solid options to improve the life-span of the classic mage armor spells and while not all of the feats are as awesome as Shapeable Mage Armor or Summoner Armor, they do provide logical and valid choices for PCs to take and best of all, keep the spell a valid option throughout the levels. Seeing that I don't have any balance-concerns or gripes, I'll settle for a final verdict of 5 stars.
Endzeitgeist out.

The girls squash teams at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy and Penn Charter had the first of their two scheduled head-to-head meetings on January 14, when the deeper SCH Lions notched a 6-3 victory at the Kline & Specter Squash Center, home of the PC Quakers.
Charter captured the number one and two matches and also prevailed in the fifth spot, but the visitors carried the rest as they recorded their first Girls Inter-Ac win out of their five league encounters thus far. The outcome resulted in an overall record of 4-6 for Springside Chestnut Hill, which had begun the new year with a 4-5 loss to Lawrenceville and a 9-0 sweep of another Mid-Atlantic Prep League team, Hill School.
Charter, which started 2013 with an 1-8 setback against Germantown Friends and a 2-7 defeat at the hands of Episcopal Academy, came out of the SCH match at 0-3 in the Inter-Ac and 2-5 overall.
The Quakers' top two players, junior number one Margaux Losty and sophomore number two Izzy Hirshberg, came through as usual, each ascending to a 6-1 mark in interscholastic play this winter. SCH has had its premier pair trade places since the start of the season, and in the recent match at Charter Lions 10th-grader Francesca Fabiani fell to Losty, 11-3, 11-3, 11-4, while SCH junior Caroline Canning bowed to Hirshberg, 11-1, 11-3, 11-4.
The bad news for Penn Charter was that by the time those two bouts began, the visitors had clinched the team victory. The strong freshman number three for SCH, Samira Baird, got past PC junior Danielle Reisley, 11-5, 11-4, 10-12, 11-7. In the fourth position one of the Lions' most consistent performers, Courtney Hamilton, recovered from a 1-5 shortfall in her opening game to win that segment, 11-8, and then she captured the next two games from fellow junior Leigh Steinberg, 11-6, 11-5.
In the fifth spot, where two seniors were featured, Penn Charter picked up its first win of the afternoon as Ryann Shaffer put up scores of 11-8, 11-5, 11-8 to overcome Hannah Baxter of SCH. Shaffer is still in the midst of the college selection process, while Baxter has chosen George Washington University.
Another Quakers senior, Emma Ebert, was in action at number six, where she lost to an 11th-grade visitor, Sarrah Schreffler, 11-2, 11-4, 11-3. The Lions also triumphed when juniors jousted one rung below on the ladder, where Leah Beight took the measure of the hosts' Gabi Bembry, 11-7, 11-4, 11-3.
Allison Day, the only SCH sophomore aside from Fabiani, won 11-1, 11-4, 11-5 against PC senior number eight Rachael Garnick. A softball veteran who only recently took to squash, Garnick hopes to wield a racquet at Haverford College, where she gained early admission.
Rounding out the successful road trip for Springside Chestnut Hill, number nine Weatherly Saunders stopped Sydney Stokes, 11-6, 11-7, 11-7. Both players are 11th-graders.
