John Scott was picked up by Sabres general manager Darcy Regier over the offseason in Buffalo's continued attempt to become a tougher team to play against.
The Sabres were embarrassed multiple times last year by their lack of any sort of physical presence, and that was no more evident than back in Nov. 2011 when Bruins forward Milan Lucic ran goalie Ryan Miller. He avoided suspension, the Sabres were furious, and they pledged to not let it happen again.
It was no surprise, then, when Scott went toe-to-toe with Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton in the first meeting between the two teams this season. And man, did Scott ever get the better of Thornton.
That last punch was particularly devastating, and Thornton was definitely feeling the effects of it on his way over to the penalty box. Thornton never returned to the game and we should expect an update on his condition from the Bruins on Friday morning.
It's not surprising that 96.1 percent of voters over at HockeyFights.com gave Scott the victory. It is surprising that 2.1 percent gave it to Thornton and that 1.7 percent thought this was somehow a draw. Thornton doesn't lose many fights, but this one was a big one. Let's hope he's okay.

roomthily: spatially, with respect to space (save the words)
find the most similar unicode characters based on a sketch.
Many languages around the world use the familiar Latin alphabet (A-Z), but in order to represent the sounds of the language accurately, their writing systems employ diacritical marks and other special characters.
Speakers of these languages have difficulty entering text into a computer because keyboards are often not available, and even when they are, typing special characters can be slow and cumbersome.
Also, in many cases, speakers may not be completely familiar with the "correct" writing system and may not always know where the special characters belong. The end result is that for many languages, the texts people type in emails, blogs, and social networking sites are left as plain ASCII, omitting any special characters, and leading to ambiguities and confusion.
To solve this problem, we have created a free and open source Firefox add-on called Accentuate.us that allows users to type texts in plain ASCII, and then automatically adds all diacritics and special characters in the correct places–a process we call "Unicodification". Accentuate.us uses a machine learning approach, employing both character-level and word-level models trained on data crawled from the web for more than 100 languages.

It's important to be physically fit if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle. Yet there can be things out there that you learn that can contradict all that you know about living a healthy life. There may be times you feel like giving up, but continue on. By reading this article, you can have a healthier and fitter lifestyle.
Exercise by taking your pet on a walk or run. Like humans, animals need frequent exercise to stay healthy also. Recent research has shown that around 35 percent of beloved pets are overweight. When you and your pet exercise together, you get twice the bang for your buck. A walk helps you lose weight, and your beloved pet enjoys better health and a happier life.
Interested in figuring out how to get better at games? Keep your eye on the ball in any sport. This can help you when you actually get in the game, since you can focus on other aspects and your sight will be keen. First, focus on something that is far away and quickly refocus to something that is close.
When you get into fitness, be sure to set up a check-up with a physician before doing a rigorous workout. Your doctor's advice can be crucial, particularly if maintaining your health will be a challenge for you. Even if you've already begun a fitness routine, your physician can give you more assistance.
Ask a dietitian for advice. Getting rid of processed junk is easy, but fine-tuning your diet to get the most out of your workouts is another matter entirely. A dietitian will be able to establish how many extra calories you need because you are more active, as well as help you find healthier foods.
When just starting your fitness routine, begin it slowly. Learn proper exercise form, technique and breathing. Good form means you are going to get a good workout anyway, so try to practice good form as much as possible.
Test any workout bench for adequate padding prior to use by pressing on the cushion firmly with your fingers. If the padding is not sufficient, you will be able to feel the wood under the pad. Try out a different machine if you can feel the wood. If you are using a bad machine, you can injure yourself.
Try performing actual sit-ups along with crunches when you work out. This value of this particular exercise has been underestimated in recent years. Stay safe, do not try to do any of the anchored-feet type of sit ups. The strain put on your back can cause pain and injury.
For people that love to watch television: you can still keep up with your favorite shows and exercise at the same time. During each commercial, use it as an excuse to exercise.
To exercise your abs, do not just do crunches. It's been proven that crunches don't burn much fat; one study even resulted with only one pound burned after 250,000 total crunches! Crunches should be only a small part of your abs routine. Find alternative ways to work your abdominals during your routine.
Working with weight loss professionals can make developing reasonable and healthy fitness goals much easier. You can find a nutritionist for a good price if you only want to have one meeting with them. A nutritionist can tell you how your body processes fuel.
Walking is a great exercise for increasing fitness. Maximize the benefit your calves receive by pushing off your heel to start and your toes to finish. Exercise your arms too, since you can bend elbows and swing arms with every step.
How to get fit and maintain your fitness level is a topic that is endlessly debated by experts in the field. When you dig through the pile of opinions, you'll find a few items that hold true time after time. Some are things you should incorporate into your program, and some are things to be avoided at all costs. If you follow this advice, you should be on the road to being more happy and fit.

The Ultimate WHY and HOW-TO Move From Blogger To WordPress
If you're still on the fence about moving your blog…
…I'm about to share with you
- Blogs That Disappear
- Moving Fears and Doubts – Google Friend Connect and Facebook Like Button
- Financial Investment -Domain, Hosting, Design
- How to move to from Blogger to WordPress Self Hosted
- How to move from WordPress.com to WordPress Self Hosted
- How To Move Your RSS Feed, Networked Blogs and a few other gadgets
- Wrapping Up the Move
- How To Configure Your WordPress Menu
Blogs That Disappear
My blogging friend Lisa over at inspiretothrive.com recently had one of her WordPress.com blogs disappear. Seems WordPress.com has some fine print about affiliate links.
Before I moved this blog from Blogger to self hosted, it disappeared twice. Not intentionally either. Google didn't take it down, the posts and design just went missing. I had to rebuild those blogs. Luckily after the first incident I backed up every time I added a new post. My posts were important to me. The comments made were important to me. All the coding I added to the sidebar were bloody important to me.
Don't be fooled. These aren't isolated incidents.
Just Google Blog has been removed and check out what's happening in the google forums.
In one discussion, posted Fed 27th 2012, a response is given to the blogger to check out http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2009/01/blame-it-on-fuzz.html. This (old) post basically explains about spammers copying your content and you paying for it:
Blogger finds a typical splog, extracts the content – which may include content stolen from your blog – and adds the content to their database. Then they look for more blogs like the one just detected. Along with finding other blogs from the spammer, they are going to find your blog. And they will label your blog as a splog – and there is another false positive.
"False Positive". Reminds me of a faulty pregnancy test. So even though you did nothing wrong at all and someone stole YOUR post, totally disregarding your copyright stamp, you have to pay the price too?
WordPress.com is no better. Here's a response many receive even when they are complying with WordPress.com:
This blog has been deactivated because we believe it does not comply with the WordPress.com Terms of Service or advertising policy.
If your blog is designed to promote affiliate links, get rich quick programs, banner ads, consists solely or mostly of duplicate or automatically generated material, or is part of a search engine marketing campaign, WordPress.com is not the place for you. Please use the Export feature to move your content to a more appropriate hosting service.
Occasionally we make mistakes. If you believe we have misclassified your blog, please click here to contact us as soon as possible so we can fix the problem.
"Occasionally we make mistakes" Would a warning via email hurt? Many bloggers put their heart into their posts.
It's all a load of crap and I'm glad I left it behind.
Moving Fears and Doubts
Look my blogging friend, I know you have doubts about leaving your free platform.
It could be due to the community you built via GFC or to the number of FB likes you have for your Blog (not your fanpage).
It could be due to the financial investment or it could be due to the fear of the learning curve.
But weigh those fears against losing your blog completely.
Even if you've backed up your posts, you've lost your free domain name. You'll have to rebuild your community and social media around a new blog url. And if you bought your domain name, lucky you, you'll have to point it to another free platform that has similar policies, where you could possibly lose your blog again. Or you could point it to a self hosted blog now and have control in your own hands.
Let me be frank about these fears.
Google Friend Connect and Facebook
If you have an active GFC following, where people have done more than just added themselves to your site for an add in return, then no worries, send out a newsletter or put up a new post and ask them to subscribe to your RSS feed or even better to subscribe by email. If you're worried about losing your GFC count for advertising purposes, I tell you now, having a subscriber list makes you look much more appealing to advertisers. And hello? There's always Google +. Hell, I've got more contacts there then I ever did with GFC.
If you've configured a Facebook Like Button for your blog (not the same as the fanpage like) AND your blog domain name is still .wordpress.com or .blogspot.com then you will never ever be able to change your domain name without losing those likes. Seriously. Forget having your own domain name. Ever. You can stop reading right now, or…
If you're engaged with those who have liked your .wordpress.com blog or .blogspot.com blog via the FB Like Button, you could ask them to like the new domain name. You could place that request in your sidebar or at the bottom of your posts.
If you already had your own domain name when you configured that FB Like Button, then no worries. You'll keep all your followers.
Financial Investment
Yes, having a self hosted blog does cost money.
Your 3 biggest expenses when starting out?
- A Domain Name
- Hosting.
- Theme.
But it can be done on a budget.
Domain names run for around $10. Even cheaper if you don't mind having a .net url.
As for a theme, yes, you can go with a free theme from the WordPress Theme Directory available from your WordPress dashboard.
WooThemes also offers a few freebies.
For those who'd like something a little prettier or fancier but still easy to use, I've got you covered!
With my fellow mom bloggers (on a budget) in mind, I have several free WordPress Blog Themes. They take 10 minutes to install and configure when you follow the video tutorial I've created.
How to move from a free blog to a self hosted blog
Here's how to move from your free platform to your self hosted platform.
Blogger to WordPress.org
Be sure to buy your domain name 2 weeks before moving your blog. This gives Blogger the time it needs to redirect visitors from your old domain to the new domain. You can also check out this how-to on Directing your new domain to your Blogger blog. Once it's auto directing, (or if you already have your own domain name)
It's not about just transferring posts and pictures.
Here's a checklist of what needs to be done:
- posts, pages and comments exported to a test wordpress self hosted site
- revert blogger custom domain to blogspot domain
- point custom domain to new self hosting
- install wordpress
- set permalink correctly
- import posts
- fix internal broken links
- redirect feedburner feed
- install and configure necessary plugins for optimal search engine indexing
- create files needed for optimal search engine indexing and upload to server
- upload webmaster tools verification
- submit site to Google for Indexing
If you find it daunting, I offer the Blog Moving service too
How to Migrate The Extras From Blogger to WordPress
Your RSS Feed
If you haven't already tried feedburner, get your butt over there now! Seriously. Actually, wait until your new domain url is working. Then, get ya' butt over there.
- tracks how many subscribers you have
- provides analytical tools about your audience
- offers a publicizing tool to ping services and email newsletters to your subscribers
- offers the FeedMedic (under Troubleshootize) displaying issues with your feed.
1) Sign into using your google account info, the same info you use for Blogger sign in.
2) Follow the instructions on screen. Note: I suggest entering your blog's name into the feed address box. Once you choose a feed address, you can't change it without loosing existing subscribers.
3) You're done.
What's that? You already have a feedburner account? Burned your .blogspot.com url feed with it? *Shoos away your concerns with a flick of the wrist* No problem. Unless, of course, you want to change the feed address because it's really really different from your blog name.
Pros of keeping your feed address as is
You'll maintain your subscribers and traffic info.
When your feed is viewed in a feed reader, the name of the feed will be whatever you specify the website/blog name to be in WordPress (Dashboard>Setting>General: Site Title).
The chances of someone actually paying attention to the feed address are slim if you add a RSS Feed Subscribe button/icon.
Cons of keeping your feed address as is
It won't match your url exactly. Oh! Wait! It still won't. Feedburner rss feed address are feeds.feedburner.com/"sitename".
If you decide to keep your feed address and have it now obtain the feed from your new domain name's url:
1) Sign into your existing feedburner account.
2) Click on your active feed.
3) On your top left, under your feed name, click on Edit Feed Details.
4) Change the original feed name to your new domain name's url. DO NOT CHANGE THE FEED ADDRESS. You'll lose all your subscribers. It even says so on the page.
5) Click Save Feed Details. Within 24 hours your feed will continue to update. May even happen right away. Post a test post, it can always be deleted.
If you decide to change your feed address
(because you don't mind emailing your subscribers about the new feed address, which is also a good way to reconnect)
1) Follow steps 1 to 3 above.
2) Change the original feed name to your new domain name's url.
3) Change the feed address by entering a name in the box (feeds.feedburner.com/me)
5) Click Save Feed Details. Within 24 hours your feed will continue to update. May even happen right away. Post a test post, it can always be deleted.
Side Note: You can go to Feed Validator and enter your feed address to see if it's working. If there are issues, there will be error reporting. If the errors confuse the heck out of you, email me your feed address, it's cool, I'll take a look.
GFC, Networked Blogs, Facebook Like Box, theblogfrog Widget, Grab My Button Badge and Widgets in General.
Widgets are accessed through your WordPress dashboard via Appearance > Widget. There's a column for Available Widgets where you'll grab your widgets from and then drag and drop to the sidebar you want it to be visible in.
These are the five major widgets I see on almost every blog. Once you've changed your url and feed address, it's time to update these.
Google Friend Connect
If you've gotten this far in this post, then just kiss it goodbye and use the tactics I mentioned earlier.
Networked Blogs
1) Sign in to Facebook and then head over to : http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/
2) Click Profile.
3) Scroll down to the bog labeled Blogs I Write and click on your blog name. From the new window, there's a number of things you can edit.
4) Click Edit Details.
5) Change the URL address and the Feed URL address. Click Save and you'll be redirected to the setting page. Under the Information section, is a Blog Fees section with your recent posts. There's a teeny tiny link that says Pull Now. Wait a few minutes and click that link. You should receive a confirmation that it was successful. If you get an error message, confirm the feed address is correct and then wait a few more minutes and try again.
6) Click Widget, click install widget. A new code is generated.
7) Copy the old code you have in Blogger and save to a text document, in the event something goes screwy, cause nothing associated with Google free apps is perfect.
8) Replace the old code with the new code.
Facebook Like Box
If you've configured your blog to have readers like your website instead of you fanpage, please note you'll lose all these Likes. Check out this post: http://www.allfacebook.com/likes-domains-transfer-2010-08
If you still want to make the move, if you're okay with asking these peeps who liked your .blogspot.com or .wordpress.com domain to like the new one:
1) Change your URL on your info page.
2)Generate a new like box with that URL. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
the blogfrog community
1) Sign into your blogfrog account
2) Right hand corner, click Edit Profile. Enter your new URL.
3) Go to the Widgets page and create a new widget. I'm not sure how important your new url is to the widget, but better safe than sorry and updating your profile to include your new URL is always important.
Grab My Button Badge
If you don't have a button, The Little Hen House has an excellent tutorial.
I also have a tutorial for you on adding the button badge with the code side by side.
If you do have a button, look through the html code and change your old url to the new url.
Your Other Widgets
Copy all the text from your other widgets and paste into a text doc. Head over to your WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets and start loading the copied info into new text widgets. You'll also find standard widgets for comments, recent posts and a bunch of other dohickies depending on your theme.
How To Configure Your WordPress Menu
Creating posts and pages in any of these platforms are too similar for me to bother walking you through. However, there's one question I've been asked a few times by new wordpress self hosted blog owners. How do you add your pages to the Menu bar. Here's a quick video to show you how.

15 Responses to The Ultimate WHY and HOW-TO Move From Blogger To WordPress
This was great Vanita! After the change for GFC the feature was gone off my site because I am not on Blogger, but I would rather stay on WordPress anyway. I too have heard some horror stories about both Blogger and WordPress.com. Blogger can make your life a living hell if you aren't careful and accidentally violate one of their terms. My friend lost his entire blog that way and wasn't able to get it back.
WordPress.com is not as forgiving and since it's free they don't allow any advertising of any kind. Some people can live without it while others try and sneak it in with coding they pick up along the way from plugins. Another no-no and if caught they will delete you too. At least with a wordpress self-hosted sites you have the freedom to do what you want and your content is yours. Sure you still need to back it up (that's just dummy-proof), but you should do that anyway.
I don't think some bloggers think it can happen to them, but add the wrong thing and it can be brutal on Free formats. Buying a domain name is better for Branding in the long run and having a self-hosted site assures that you can point your blog anywhere you want at any given time. For a nominal fee that's the best investment when you put time into your content.
Sonia recently posted..Blogger Spotlight: Lisa Buben, Inspire To Thrive.com
As usual, great post Vanita! I moved to self-hosted almost a year ago and I have not looked back. I like owning my content and feeling like I have control over my online space.
Jessica recently posted..How I lost my baby weight with mindful eating
Another great post. As you know I do backups and have a 'shadow' site on WordPress (free) to get everything out of the loaded wordpress features. And — to be honest — I am to lazy right now to move to self hosted. One day, my dear Vanita, one day!
JanB recently posted..Birthday Coming Up, What Am I going to buy Her?
Nice post. I started out with a WordPress.com account, and was frustrated with the selection of themes. Plus putting advertising on it pays the bills, so why not? Although my per hour wage for running my blog is probably around $1.00 (maybe), it's better than nothing, and I really like the control I have over it.
Jeremy Cook recently posted..Change your CNC Router Jog Speed with Mach3
And this is why I will never use free hosted blogs for anything serious.
I've been thoughtful about moving because of how expensive I hear it can be for monthly and yearly fees. I figure if I'm not making money with my blog, why move it?
But we'll see later.
Awesome post to help bloggers like us.
JamericanSpice recently posted..Let's Laugh Enough Today For Yesterday
Thanks for the comprehensive information and insight! While WordPress.com and Blogger.com can be good places for people to start blogging, they have their limitations, and anyone serious about blogging needs to go "pro". It really comes down to what you want to get from blogging, how you want to establish your digital presence, and what meets your personal and professional needs.

The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was good.
There are separate buildings in the complex and we were in the building farthest from the main one causing a bit of concern for safety.There was a beautiful view of the dam from our room.
Great Breakfast; nice personnel.
There was no elevator. We were lugging our things upstairs in the 101 degree day.Conveniently located for us; comfortable room; we did not have a chance to use the outdoor pool...we got in too late.

The bed was comfortably firm, and the continental breakfast was excellent.
The air conditioner barely worked, and the pillows weren't very comfortable. As a result, we didn't get much sleep, because we were sweating all night, and couldn't get situated correctly because of the pillows.The hotel is located pretty much away from the town, but there is a gas station and a McDonalds right next door. It was quiet where the hotel is, which was nice.

Changing China
Giant on the move
The race is on — Bolt confirms he'll run 100 metres
The big race is on for Beijing, after Usain Bolt's coach confirmed to Reuters that the Jamaican 100 metres world record holder would run both the 100 and 200 metres at the Beijing Olympics.
As my colleague Gene Cherry reports, neither the coach, Glen Mills, nor Bolt had previously confirmed the Jamaican would run the 100.
"He will run both," Mills said in an e-mail on Saturday.
It means we can now look forward to Bolt taking on compatriot Asafa Powell and the American world champion Tyson Gay in what will be the biggest race of the Games for most people outside China.

Natural Baby Toiletries
September 2, 2010 by erica
Filed under Babies & Toddlers, Family
A couple of years ago I reviewed some Beaming Baby products for TGF and they remain favourites, so much so that I'm still using them on my 3 year old. Beaming Baby offer a nice range of natural baby toiletries including shampoo/bodywash, bubble bath and body lotion. They're reasonably priced starting at £3.99 for 250ml and are widely available.
They're made from hydrating organic aloe vera and skin nourishing natural orange blossom gives a soothing, calming bathtime. Being free from alcohol, paraben preservatives, sodium laureth sulphate, synthetic perfume and colouring, there are no nasties there for your baby.
After baby's bathtime, how about reaching for this lovely dusting powder from Burt's Bees. It's talc-free, being made from highly absorbent cornstarch, and it's fragranced with powdered herbs and flowers. The blend of herbs is designed to gently soothe any chafing, prickly heat or other skin irritation. As well as being talc-free, it also avoids the use of phthalates and parabens. Priced at £6.99.
Sadly, nappy rash seems to figure at some point in every baby's life with teething times being particularly prone to it. I like this Earth Friendly Baby's Organic Red Clover Cream as the solution. It's has been carefully designed to provide effective relief from discomfort caused by nappy rash or sore skin and other minor skin irritations. It's got no artificial colouring, fragrances, parabens or SLS to worry about. Priced at £5.49 for a 113g tube.

On March 11, Terri Norton was among millions who watched news of the horrific "Tohoku" earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Three months later she walked amid the devastation, bringing her expertise to study and help the communities dealing with the challenges of life after disaster.
Norton, an assistant professor with UNL's Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the Peter Kiewit Institute in Omaha, teaches and researches the effects natural hazards have on civil structures, disaster debris management and sustainability.
She traveled to northeast Japan June 18-26 with teams gathered by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. Other EERI participants were placed with groups studying bridge performance or engineering of buildings; Norton joined a team working with the Japanese Institute for Social Safety Science (ISSS), a nonprofit organization focused on impact recovery.
"I have a seed grant from The Durham School regarding debris management," Norton said. "This trip fit with that, as an extreme example" of an opportunity to develop and apply her research.
"The damage was beyond what I had imagined."
- Terri Norton
Her team visited Iwate and Miyagi prefectures but, for safety reasons, Fukushima prefecture (with its nuclear power plants disabled by the March 11 events) would be studied remotely via provided data. Norton observed, "Some cities have started removing debris, but other areas haven't moved anything yet because the local governments are still overwhelmed."
Norton, who spent time in Italy following an earthquake, said being in Japan so soon after such destruction was especially moving.
"The damage was beyond what I had imagined," said Norton. "To stand on a site and see nothing but rubble around you--the footprints of buildings, things that used to be there—you think about all that was lost." While touring, she saw several public shelters in schools, showing many lives still disrupted; Norton expressed particular concern for ongoing difficulties faced by local farmers and fishermen in those areas where livelihoods would take years to resume.
According to Norton, the first step in post-disaster clean-up is to categorize the debris for most efficient handling. In many cases "wood can be reused, steel can be recycled and sold as scrap metal, and concrete can be repurposed as fill for embankments."
Early reports from EERI visits noted one affected city, Minami Sanriku, estimates 700,000 tons of debris need to be cleared, sorted and reused, recycled or disposed of. Norton said Iwate prefecture's purchase of giant kilns for burning some waste items was interesting, but material lifecycle and public health issues are also important considerations.
On the last day of the visit, the EERI teams regrouped in Tokyo for a concluding workshop to develop research ideas and partnerships. Norton's report from her site visit is scheduled to appear on the EERI website in August, and she's submitting a research proposal on recycling and reuse in debris management to the National Science Foundation.
Norton said she found several "take-aways" from visiting the area in northeast Japan impacted by the March 11 "Tohoku" earthquake and tsunami:
• No engineered structure is 100% fail-safe, as there may be extreme events that can't be planned for, so there always has to be a clear emergency management plan.
• The impact of this type of natural disaster goes beyond the effect on the immediate community: a chain reaction with issues for surrounding areas' business and public partners--which government must take into account.
• Recovery and reconstruction at this scale can't be done by just the communities themselves. Regardless of how technologically advanced the directly-impacted community is, it will need the help other of cities and other nations.
Terri Norton (fourth from left) stands with colleagues in the EERI group who visited northeast Japan in June 2011. Closer to home, Norton's work also applies to post-disaster clean-up of tornadoes and floods.

The Rights and Welfare of Children Summit will be held on February 15, 2013 at the Dear Manang's Events Place, Tetuan Highway, Zamboanga City.
The summit is a joint initiative of the National Youth Commission, the Office of Deputy Speaker Ma. Isabelle G. Climaco, the Department of Education, the EDSA People Power Commission and the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking.
Around two hundred (200) individuals ages 11-14 years old who are in-school, out of school, with special needs/ disabilities including those who belong to indigenous communities will convene to address the many problems, issues and challenges that compromise the welfare and the best interest of our children especially in the southernmost part of Mindanao where terrorism is still a societal problem and children are seen as victims of violence.
Commissioner Earl Saavedra, the Head of the Summit Organizing Committee, explained that the areas within the back-channel route towards the neighboring ASEAN states are locations where frequent child-trafficking activities happen. "The National Youth Commission prevented an incident, where fifty (50) children and youth (mostly women), were brought to Zamboanga City from Basilan and were promised with jobs and scholarship by a certain illegal recruiter. The condemning act was an eye-opener to agencies that work for the rights and welfare not only of the children and youth but including the other sectors of society. It was when we conceptualized the idea of organizing an activity to push for such important advocacy focusing on children" he further stated.
Meanwhile, Deputy Speaker Ma. Isabelle Climaco- Salazar commented that the activity will open many more opportunities where children's importance and roles are highlighted as a significant part of the nation. "It will make all of us realize that as early as now, they are part of our nation building efforts and we need to protect, care and love them", she added.
The one-day activity on February 15, 2013 includes sessions/workshops on Self Discovery and Identity, Establishing Oneself in the Community through Artwork Exposures; a discussion on Child's Rights and Welfare (Dual approach mechanism on peer and moderator counseling and hands-on activities); and a presentation of the Children's Agenda and launching of the Local Children's Council/ Organization as its culminating activity.
Undersecretary Alberto T. Muyot of the Department of Education and Commissioner Percival Cendaña of the National Youth Commission are also expected to grace the program.

Pageant News Bureau
|An Arizona beauty queen, who has also worked as a law clerk, has been indicted along with three men in the alleged kidnapping, torture and robbery of her former boyfriend. Kumari Fulbright, 25, and the three men were indicted Dec. 18, 2007, by a Pima County Superior Court grand jury. She has competed for the Miss Arizona title twice, as Miss Pima County in 2005 and Miss Desert Sun in 2006. The crime is alleged to have taken place on Dec. 8 in Tucson. Authorities said the 24-year-old victim, who had injuries that were not life-threatening, managed to escape after 10 hours of abuse and death threats.
The Miss West Virginia Scholarship Organization has announced the team that will take over the leadership of the Miss West Virginia's Outstanding Teen Program, and it includes two former Miss West Virginias. The executive director is Jennifer Gartin. The executive producer is Kimberly Goodwin (Miss West Virginia 2006). The marketing director is Janna Kerns Jenkins (Miss West Virginia 2002).
Alicia Machado, who was Miss Universe 1996 and ran into some controversy during her reign, appears nude in the October 2007 issue of Playboy magazine (U.S. edition). The Venezuelan beauty, who is now a Latin soap opera star, was Miss Universe when Donald Trump became the pageant's co-owner, and the two quarreled publicly over her weight. She is the first Miss Universe to pose for Playboy, and readers of the magazine will be able to attest that she is in fighting trim now.
Veteran pageant emcee Jim Gibson and his wife, Chiann Gibson (who's also a renowned beauty queen, are expecting their first child at the end of January 2008. Ultrasound images confirm that the youngster is a boy. He will be named James Keith Gibson III.
MTV Networks has tapped comedian/actor/Latin pop singer Jade Esteban Estrada -- who is also a frequent pageant performer -- to speak in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month from noon to 1:00 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2007 at MTV Networks' headquarters in New York City. The annual event is titled "Latino History Month Panel Discussion at MTV Networks." The event will be composed of employees from Spike TV, Comedy Central, MTV, VH-1, Logo and other channels under the company's umbrella.
The Fox reality show "Anchorwoman," featuring a former pageant contestant working at a TV station, was canceled on Aug. 23, 2007, after one episode because of low ratings., The star, Lauren Jones, is a former Miss New York USA contestant and a "Barker's Beauty" from "The Price Is Right."
Chelsea Cooley, Miss USA 2005, has founded Stand Out Productions to help individuals in the pageant and modeling industries.
Former PNB cover girl (and former Miss Georgia USA) Lisa Wilson is the cover girl on the July 31, 2007, issue of Woman's World magazine.
Pageant star and PNB confidante Sallie Toussaint bares a lot (but not quite all) as "Babe of the Month" in the August 2007 issue of Playboy magazine. She looks spectacular, and her famed wit is very much in evidence. Also, in the Grapevine section, former Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera appears in a revealing outfit.
The newly Crowned Miss Utah (America), Jill Stevens, appeared on the Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" on July 6, 2007. She is a sergeant in the Utah National Guard and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2004. Before her crowning she appeared in a special feature at www.pageant.com.
Legendary pageant emcee Jim Gibson appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America Weekend Edition" on July 7, 2007. Our reviewer had not seen it as of press time, but an ABC representative told PNB founder Gerdeen Dyer before airing that the segment had gone well.

Ladies and gentlemen please welcome back Cut Copy! Ever the gracious houseguests, they're returning armed with their 3rd and most ambitious work yet, Zonoscope which will be released February 8, 2011 in North America.
Zonoscope is Cut Copy boiled down to their purest form, a suite of futuristic visions built upon primal rhythm tracks. It is at once their most immediate work to date but also their most sonically exquisite. "Take Me Over" perfectly encapsulates this, it's chiming highlife guitars bouncing around tropical percussion reminiscent of an island holiday in a pop song.
Zonoscope was dreamt in the comedown of In Ghost Colours, the album which cemented Cut Copy as a global sensation. Their perpetual touring cycle found the band headline a stage at Lollapalooza, become the first Australian act to play Colombia since INXS, have fire marshals shut down an LA performance mid-set as crowds began to buckle the seams of the Henry Fonda Theatre and be raced to the Pitchfork Festival via police escort following a cancelled flight.
After over two years of exhilarating chaos, frontman Dan Whitford bunkered down at home to flesh out rough synth and vocal skeletons, before heading into the studio with the band to bring these textured grooves to life. Whitford describes the wonderland which he set out to create with Tim Hoey, Mitchell Scott and Ben Browning, "All the way along we had this weird vision of a tropical, jungle, tribal sound. A place or an idea that we wanted to reach with some of the songwriting; to explore a looping hypnotic trance and revise the whole palette of what Cut Copy was about."
Recorded over a 6 month period in a warehouse space the band rented in Melbourne and mixed in Atlanta by Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, Deerhunter), Zonoscope paints a mesmerizing picture, conjured by a band at the height of their powers.
You can watch the second installment of the Krozm documentary on the process of making the record, entitled "Skies of The Ape" where it premiered on SPIN or HERE. More music is revealed in this piece, which sees the band moving into their Christmas St recording warehouse, and all band members involved in the creative process.
This Friday August 27th Leftover Salmon will return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Billed with Yonder Mountain String Band and Split Lip Rayfield, this is sure to be a show not to be missed. This evening of music will bring two of Colorado's best known jam grass bands together on a bill that's long overdue! Salmon will hit the stage at 7pm sharp, so plan on getting there on time. Tickets are still available at www.ticketmaster.com
Meet the Band / DVD Signing Thursday August 26th!
To kick off Friday's festivities at Red Rocks and celebrate the release of our new DVD "Twice in a Blue Moon" that was filmed at the bands 20th celebration this past New Year's, Drew, Vince, and the gang will be on hand at Pete's Monkey Bar on Thursday. They will be signing your copy of the DVD. there will also be a blow out merchandise sale. Yonder will be playing at the Ogden Theatre that night and this will be a pre-party to their performance later that evening.
Pete's Monkey Bar is located two blocks west of the Ogden at 717 East Colfax Ave in Denver. Come by between 6pm and 8:30pm and get your copy of the DVD and say HI! This DVD is also available online at www.leftoversalmon.com.
Harvest Festival at Mountain Mulberry October 14-16
Leftover Salmon will return to Harvest Festival in Ozark, Arkansas on October 15th. Ticket are on sale now. This festival takes place on a beautiful site with large open fields and plenty of camping. The lineup includes Yonder Mountain Sting Band, Keller Williams, Railroad Earth, Sam Bush, Brett Dennen, Emmitt/Nershi Band, Cornmeal, and many more. Checkout www.yonderharvestfestival.com for complete details.
For those waiting for a concert experience with the dynamics of a rock band (read: no laptops), the dance inducing rhythms of club music, and the sophistication of modern electronica, an unlikely musical alternative has arrived in the form of the band Lotus. Formed at a Mennonite college that had banned on-campus dancing as late as the 1980's, Lotus brings their club-worthy beats and rocking instrumental anthems to theaters throughout the country this fall. No glow-stick bracelets, pretentious Can trivia, or expensive distressed fashion required.
In January 2008, Lotus embarks on their "Copy Paste Repeat" tour, which celebrates the release of Copy Paste Repeat: Lotus Remixed, and album the band released this past November. The recording offers 12 remixes by renowned producers including DFA Records artist Juan Maclean, DJ Harry, and Lotus's own Jesse Miller. Lotus's post/electro/dancerock is deconstructed and reassembled into club ready dance, dub, glitch-hop, and IDM tracks. The band's website is currently offering up the source files for the track 'Bubonic Tonic' for fans to create their own remix and submit for review. The site will feature the band's favorite submissions.
Copy Paste Repeat: Lotus Remixed comes on the heels of the band's third studio album. Escaping Sargasso Sea, released May 2007, is a double-disc live album that draws from two previous studio albums, Nomad and The Strength of Weak Ties, along with never before released material. From the post/math-rock of "When H Binds to O" to the slippery dance beats of "Wax," this collection shows Lotus's ability to deconstruct, stretch, and rebuild their compositions spontaneously on stage. Restraining from flaunting their individual chops, Lotus builds compositions on catchy melodies and heavy grooves.
The five-piece band has creatively fused electronic dance music with instrumental post-rock for eight years. The result is an explosive live show that has made crowds get down across the US, Canada, and Japan. Armed with a massive light rig and one of the most energetic shows on the circuit, Lotus proves why they have become a go-to act for late night festival slots. This tour takes the band into renowned theatres nationwide including Georgia Theatre in Athens, the Recher Theatre in Towson, and the Granada Theater in Dallas, among others.
Lotus' complete list of confirmed dates is as follows:
January 04 Jam Cruise 6 Ft. Lauderdale FL January 23 Cat's Cradle Carrboro NCJanuary 24 Orange Peel Asheville NCJanuary 25 Georgia Theatre Athens GAJanuary 26 Neighborhood Theatre Charlotte NCJanuary 27 The Pour House Charleston SCJanuary 29 Beta Bar Tallahassee FLJanuary 30 Blue Nile New Orleans LAJanuary 31 Granada Theater Dallas TXFebruary 01- 02 Club 115 Austin TXFebruary 05 George's Majestic Lounge Fayetteville AKFebruary 06 Newby's Memphis TNFebruary 07 The Dame Lexington KYFebruary 08 Satellite Ballroom Charlottesville VA February 09 Recher Theatre Towson MD March 16 Jam in the Dam Netherlands
More dates to be announced.
What critics have been saying about Lotus:
"…intent on creating a new genre (few try that these days)...it is rock, and smart disco, funk and soul, piano pop, world music, and modern alienation stuff and jazz fusion you can dance to all wrapped up in cellophane." -Big Takeover
"In this new terrain in which lie endless creative possibilities, Lotus continue to expand upon its post-everything rock/electronic/jazz/free-form pastiche." -Big Shot Magazine
"If you were listening to the music of Philadelphia five-piece Lotus right now, you would be dancing. There's no doubt about that. Their grooves are tight, and fast, and fun, and one would be hard-pressed not to shake it hard at a Lotus show." -Jambands.com

Olympia police arrested a 35-year-old felon who got out of prison two months ago on suspicion of stabbing a man in the face in his apartment building on Washington Street early Sunday morning.
The 53-year-old stabbing victim suffered multiple contusions to his face, a collapsed lung and broken ribs, OPD spokeswoman Laura Wohl said Monday. Olympia police responded to an apartment complex in the 500 block of Washington Street about 3:30 a.m. Sunday on a report of a man lying in the doorway of his apartment, she said.
"He was beaten pretty badly," she said.
The suspect was found walking in downtown Olympia covered in blood around the time police responded to the incident, Wohl said. He was arrested based on statements the victim gave to police, she added.
The suspect has a long history of felony arrests. He will be named by The Olympian after his first appearance before a judge Monday afternoon.
Wohl said police believe the suspect and the victim knew each other. The victim was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital Sunday. Wohl said the man was listed in the intensive care unit at Providence on Monday, but was improving and was expected to be moved out Monday afternoon.

OAKLAND: In his 11th NFL season, Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown isn't as fast or quick as he used to be, but the Oakland Raiders learned the hard way that he can still perform at an elite level.
Brown, 33, broke up three passes and made one of the most important plays of the game when he intercepted quarterback Carson Palmer's pass to wide receiver Juron Criner at the Browns' 6-yard line with 9:38 left in the fourth quarter. The Browns used the momentum created by Brown's takeaway to produce the decisive 14-play, 94-yard touchdown drive that enabled them to defeat the Raiders 20-17 on Sunday at O.co Coliseum.
"He's an ageless wonder," middle linebacker D'Qwell Jackson said of Brown. "He's been doing it for years, never missed a snap. I hope I'm still moving and playing as well as he is [when I'm 33]."
Brown's crucial interception was a byproduct of his triumphant intellectual chess match against Palmer on first-and-10 at the Browns' 33.
"Through film study, I noticed they like to throw fades between the 40 and the 20," said Brown, who had a season-high four passes defensed. "So they had just crossed into our field position. I lined up like I was going to press the wide receiver, and on the snap, I bailed and ran out with eyes on the quarterback. I saw Carson throwing the fade ball. At that point, I just became the receiver, and I caught the ball."
Brown also finished with five tackles. In the second quarter, one of his hits stopped running back Jeremy Stewart a yard short of the first down marker on third-and-3 at the Raiders' 35.
"He looked like he was playing in his prime today," strong safety T.J. Ward said. "He had a lot of knockdowns and he finished it off with that pick when our back was against the wall."
Showing guts
Rookie Brandon Weeden has been protected well for the majority of this season, but he absorbed 10 quarterback hits and took one sack Sunday.
"I probably got hit more today than I've gotten hit in my life ever playing the position," Weeden said. "But you don't play this game if you're soft. You've got to be able to stand there and take them. I stared down the barrel a couple times and did take a couple shots to deliver throws."
Weeden said his elbow was hit during his second interception — an underthrown pass intended for wide receiver Josh Gordon that cornerback Phillip Adams picked off with 1:10 left in the first half. During the Browns' first possession of the game, free safety Matt Giordano intercepted Weeden's overthrown pass to tight end Benjamin Watson.
Weeden, though, rebounded from the first pick by hitting Gordon in stride for a 44-yard touchdown pass with 10:25 left in the second quarter. He also led the Browns on their crucial touchdown march in the fourth quarter after taking a shot from defensive end Lamarr Houston on the second play of that drive. He appeared to be shaken up after absorbing the blow, but he said the only injury he suffered was a cut on his knee.
"He battled through," coach Pat Shurmur said. "He took some licks, which I think most quarterbacks do throughout the game. But I've got no problem with his toughness. I've never had any problem with his toughness."
Weeden set a franchise record for rookies by passing for 364 yards against the Raiders. With his fourth win as a starter, Weeden tied Bernie Kosar (1985) as the winningest rookie quarterback in franchise history.
Stellar production
Gordon set career highs in receptions (six) and receiving yards (116). He also became the first Browns rookie to post five or more receiving touchdowns since Andre Davis had six in 2002.
"He caught the ball well," Shurmur said. "We think it's a smart thing to throw him the football, and we'll continue to do that."
Heading into the game, Gordon, a second-round pick in the supplemental draft, thought he could have a big day.
"I try to approach every game like that [no matter] who we're playing against," Gordon said. "We definitely did want to take advantage of it if we could. That was the game plan."
Blue skies
The Browns were thankful rain stopped pouring in Oakland before kickoff. The weather was nasty earlier in the day.
"When I woke up this morning over on the other side of the Bay, I thought we were going to build an arc," Shurmur said. "But it did clear up."
Rookie running back Trent Richardson rushed for 72 yards on 20 carries. He ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 3:27 left. "We just kept punching," Richardson said. "When you hit somebody in the face, they can only take it so much." His seven rushing touchdowns this season are tied for the second-most by a Browns rookie. … Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress will testify today at bounty hearings in Washington, D.C., Jason La Canfora of CBS reported, citing sources. When Childress coached the Minnesota Vikings, he told the league he heard the New Orleans Saints might have placed a bounty on then-Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. … Cornerback Dimitri Patterson (ankle), free safety Usama Young (concussion), running back Brandon Jackson, special-teams ace Ray Ventrone (calf), defensive tackle Ronnie Cameron, guard Jarrod Shaw and wide receiver Josh Cooper were inactive for the Browns. Rookie Tashaun Gipson started in place of Young, who sat out after suffering a concussion last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Patterson missed his seventh consecutive game since suffering a high-ankle sprain and torn ligament Oct. 7 against the New York Giants. Ventrone has missed three games in a row after hurting his calf in practice Nov. 15. Cooper was a healthy scratch for the second week in a row. … Running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson (high-ankle sprains) and defensive tackle Richard Seymour (knee/hamstring) were among those inactive for the Raiders.

This is definitely the coolest looking rim lock that I've ever owned. I bought a complete rim/hub/tire combo on Craigslist and this rim lock was in it. Unfortunately - it has sharp edges on the corners and I've now suffered two flats because the edges of this rim lock wears a hole in the tub on the inside. The first time it happened I tried to glue some thick tubing on the top surface so the tube wouldn't come in contact with these sharp corners - but it didn't work and I ended up with another flat on the trail. So I had to do a trail-side repair because of this thing and I've got to throw away an otherwise perfectly fine heavy-duty tube that this rim lock punctured. (I've got a rule that you never run a tub with a patch on it). So I wouldn't recommend running this rim lock in your rim. I'll be throwing mine away.Read All Reviews

Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Nats-Mets game had to be halted while umpires reviewed a controversial home run.
Yes, for the second time in three nights, the Mets were awarded a home run on a replay review. Last time, the umps upheld their original call. This time, they reversed their call.
The situation: In the bottom of the sixth of a 3-3 ballgame, with a man on first, Daniel Murphy hit a hit fly ball to right field. Adam Dunn retreated a couple steps but turned around and watched the ball, thinking it was gone. But then the ball fell to the ground, and the runners took off. Next thing you know, Dunn fired to Ronnie Belliard, who fired to Wil Nieves, who tagged Gary Sheffield out.
But the umpires huddled and decided to go look at the video. Five minutes later, crew chief Larry Vanover emerged and signaled home run. It appears the ball struck a sign hanging over the right-field fence before falling back to the ground, which would be a home run. So I believe the umps got this one right. I wouldn't count on Vanover answering any questions after the game, though.
So that made it 5-3. How did the Nats manage to score three runs off Johan Santana. Thanks to one huge blast from Dunn and some uncharacteristic wildness from Santana. Dunn crushed a 465-foot, two-run homer in the fourth that landed on the concourse well beyong both bullpens and a seating area in right-center field. Just a bomb.
Santana followed the homer by issuing three walks later in the inning, including one to Jordan Zimmermann that loaded the bases and then another one to Cristian Guzman (Cristian Guzman!) to force in a run.
So now as head to the seventh, it's Mets 5, Nats 3 on a wild night at Citi Field.

— MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama State Legislature is set to begin work on an overhaul bill that will change Medicaid to a managed care plan by 2017.
The plan that will be introduced to House and Senate committees is the result of a 14-month effort by the 33-member Alabama Medicaid Advisory Commission formed by Gov. Robert Bentley in late 2012.
The effort represents a major restructuring of how Medicaid works. Presently, Medicaid is administered by the state and is a not-for-profit entity. The managed care option offered by the commission would turn over delivery of health care to for-profit companies. Those companies would operate in up to eight regions of the state. Those regions would be determined by an actuary.
The Alabama Medicaid Agency now pays a provider a set amount for each service rendered, also called "fee-for-service." The state is looking to provide a new structure that will allow for a predetermined amount of money per patient annually to be paid to a "regional care organization" that will then provide and pay for all Medicaid services.
The regional care organization or an alternative provider would be the administrator in charge of delivering health care within a region. The state agency would pay the administering agency between $300 million and $500 million per year to care for all of the Medicaid patients' needs in their region. If they can do that and have money left over, they would make a profit. The government hopes profits would provide incentive to keep the population healthier.
Alabama Medicaid's annual appropriation from the General Fund budget exceeds $600 million and needs continue to grow. It gets the bulk of its money from other sources, including the federal government, and is a $6 billion a year program.
Jim Carnes of Alabama Arise, a citizens' advocacy group for the poor, explained that "Medicaid is the backbone of the health system we depend on in Alabama. Medicaid sustains hospitals in rural areas, children's hospitals and without Medicaid payments, they would close." More than 11 percent of Alabama's workforce has a job in the health care industry. Carnes was a member of the advocacy commission.

The Shadow Path: A Portal Network
By James Wyatt
Four dark portals are the only milestones on this subterranean road, and its travelers are few. However, in the Underdark, travelers have to be strong to survive. Are your characters strong enough to brave the Shadow Path? Tread lightly, for drow, mind flayers, and worse lurk along its pathways . . .
"The Shadow Path" is a portal network connecting four disparate regions of Faerûn's vast Underdark: the region known as the Labyrinth beneath the Dessarin River, the illithid city of Oryndoll beneath the Shining Plains, the dwarven halls of Iltkazar far to the south, and the Unspoken Hall near Ched Nasad beneath the Fallen Lands. At a glance, the four regions have nothing in common but that they are far below the surface of Faerûn, but a dark secret links both their ancient past and their terrible present.
A single node of the Shadow Path might appear in the course of an ongoing campaign, perhaps while characters are traveling through the Underdark in the middle of the City of the Spider Queen superadventure. Alternatively, the Shadow Path could form the backbone of a mini-campaign all its own. Consider the following hooks to draw characters into the portal network and the dark mystery behind it.
Read about the four nodes of the Shadow Path over the next four weeks:

There are no known cures for colds and flu, so cold and flu prevention is the key. Here are 4 tips you can use to help prevent colds and the flu naturally:
#1 Wash Your Hands
Most cold and flu viruses are spread by directly contact. Someone who has the flu sneezes onto his or her hand and then touches the telephone, the keyboard, a kitchen glass. The germs can lve for hours only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. So wash your hands often. If you can't get to a sink, rub an alcohol-based hand sanitizer onto your hands.
#2 Don't Cover Your Sneezes and Coughs With Your Hands
Coughing and sneezing in your hands often results in passing along your germs to others. When you feel a sneeze or cough coming, use a tissue, then throw it away immediately. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the inside of your elbow (vampire sneeze).
#3 Don't Touch Your Face
Cold and flu viruses enter your body through the eyes, nose, or mouth. Avoid touching your face, in most cases the virus can be transmitted to other family members this way.
#4 Do Aerobic Exercise Regularly
Aerobic exercise speeds up the heart to pump larger quantities of blood; makes you breathe faster to help transfer oxygen from your loungs to your blood; and makes you sweat once your body heats up. These exercises help increase the body's natural virus-killing cells.

How are actions carried out through triggers on a master replicated to a slave?Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
First, the triggers that exist on a master must be re-created on the slave server. Once this is done, the replication flow works as any other standard DML statement that participates in replication. For example, consider a table EMP that has an AFTER insert trigger, which exists on a master MySQL server. The same EMP table and AFTER insert trigger exist on the slave server as well.
Are stored procedures and functions created on a master server replicated to a slave?Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
Yes, creation of stored procedures and functions carried out through normal DDL statements on a master server are replicated to a slave, so the objects will exist on both servers. ALTER and DROP statements for stored procedures and functions are also replicated.
How are actions that take place inside stored procedures and functions replicated?Appendix A. Frequently Asked Questions About MySQL 5.1
MySQL records each DML event that occurs in a stored procedure and replicates those individual actions to a slave server. The actual calls made to execute stored procedures are not replicated. Stored functions that change data are logged as function invocations, not as the DML events that occur inside each function. Yes. Because a slave server has authority to execute any statement read from a master's binary log, special security constraints exist for using stored functions with replication.
What is host and what is master and slave node?Cytron Technologies - Robot . Head to Toe
Host of Bluetooth transceiver refer to system that control Bluetooth transceiver, if a microcontroller is connected to Bluetooth module, thus the microcontroller is the host, same concept applied to computer. In some case Bluetooth transceiver can be independent if it is configured as slave and able to auto-connect to connection request.
Q10 : What is Master/Slave and Multipoint?MICRODIA | Bluetooth
A10 : These are technical terms that most users do not need to worry about. However, for each small personal network (piconet), one device always acts as master and the other units are slaves. All devices independent of capability can take both master and slave roles. If you have many devices connected in a personal network (more than one slave to a master), it is called multipoint. I.e.

What is the difference between Master/Slave and Primary/Secondary?SecuritySpace
Good question! Most people equate Master with Primary and Secondary with Slave. In reality, the two are not quite the same. Primary name servers are the default name server (the first server that will be queried) based on how you have configured your domain's NS records with your registrar. Secondary name servers are the backup if the primary name server fails. Master and slaves refer to a management arrangement used within DNS servers to propagate information changes from one server to another.
How do I select devices in master/slave operation?FAQ - Remote IP-Controlled Power Switch

What is a slave flash?Digital Photography FAQ
A slave flash is a flash that is triggered by another master flash. You may have noticed event photographers with assistants carrying flashes on poles. These are slave flashes which are triggered by a primary flash on the photographer's camera. The typical reason for using a slave flash is to illuminate your subject more evenly by providing flash light from multiple sources. There are several approaches to triggering a slave flash.
How do I configure a slave if the master is running and I do not want to stop it?MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 15.3.4 Replication FA...
There are several possibilities.
How do I force the master to block updates until the slave catches up?MySQL :: MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual :: 15.3.4 Replication FA...
On the master, execute these statements: mysql> FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK; mysql> SHOW MASTER STATUS; Record the replication coordinates (the log filename and offset) from the output of the SHOW statement.
Can Live run as a ReWire slave to Logic (or another Rewire master) when it uses DAE?FAQs
No, unfortunately this is not currently possible, as Logic (or another Rewire master) has a different behavior under DAE that Live cannot recognize.
In master/slave operation, what happens when one of the slaves or its power supply fails?FAQ - Remote IP-Controlled Power Switch
If you replace an ePowerSwitch and assign the same IP address to the new device, the new unit will not work. This has nothing to do with the device but with the fact that the other unit has a different MAC address. To activate the new ePowerSwitch, go into the ARP protocol (Windows) and delete the assignment with "arp -d", or wait for two to ten minutes. Connect UPS devices before, not after, the ePowerSwitch. The inrush current of a UPS can be high enough to damage the built-in relays.
Q17. Can I have my multiport ThinQ device unit set up with slave and master ports?Device Server FAQs by Quatech
SSH protocol is used in a telnet session it packs up telnet data to send to a device. The ThinQ device line does not support this protocol.
Didn't Hegel say that the Master/Slave relationship is the eternal relationship of humanity?Hegel FAQ (most frequent asked questions)-hegel.net
The Master/Slave relationship occupies a relevant, yet not so crucial as sometimes implied, section within Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit". Some authors, particularly in France (where they were expression of different trends of existentialism), attempted at making this relationship the core issue within Hegel's philosophy, and one who would have later inspired Marx and his concept of class warfare.
How do I set Master/Slave on a slimline CD/DVD drive?Logic Supply - Frequently Asked Questions
Slimline CD/DVD drives don't have a manual Master/Slave setting. Some drives allow the drive to be set by Cable Select; others are hard-coded to be either Master or Slave. To set a Cable Select drive as Master or Slave, connect it to the right position on the IDE cable. The black connector on the IDE cable is Master, the gray connector is Slave. Always connect the blue connector to the mainboard.
