Santa and Mrs. Claus took time out of their very busy schedule to visit the FOX19 Morning News on Tuesday.
And when we say busy, we mean BUSY. Santa had already delivered two billion gifts as of 1 p.m. to children on the other side of the world.
Together with Frank Marzullo and Tracey Johnson, Santa read ''Twas The Night Before Christmas' live from our studio!
Hundreds of people in the Tri-State were able to connect with him via Twitter, Facebook and a live chat on our website using the hashtag #AskSanta19.
Here some of our favorites:
Christy Petredis: How many cookies are made each Christmas at
the North Pole?
Santa: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 x 2.THAT's how many cookies.
Tracy Gladwell: How do you keep in shape all year round for
this one night of magic?
Santa: Some of my elves recently started a fitness program at the North Pole! Ho ho ho!
Jammie Wenzel Lane: Uhhhmmm the tracker I have says that
Santa is in Russia...so how can he answer questions????
Santa: Christmas magic!
Lorry Ratliff Christy: Where's my Corvette?
Santa: I think the Reindeers have the key...ho ho ho
David Holt: Is Mylie Cyrus on the naughty list?
Santa: No comment.
Bonnie Deatherage: Will my family be healthy in 2014? It's
been a long 2013.
Santa: Sending warm and healthy blessings to the Deatherage family...keep smiling, that always works for me.

Tampa Bay's rookie class of 2010 is at the start of a rude awakening. Rookie seasons can be unkind to brand new NFL players – no matter how talented a guy is coming out of college.
As a rookie right tackle back in 1997, going up against the veterans in the mini-camps was quite an eye-opening experience for me to say the least. Coming out of Wisconsin and going to Tampa was a culture shock by itself. Then taking into consideration the jump in the level of play – that was a real shock.
I've said for years that the college game and the pro game are two different games from understanding the blitz pick-ups to the talent to the speed of the game. It was a whole another level. Moving to a new city and going from being one of the best guys on your college team to basically starting over is a real different experience. I knew I had the physical talent to do it, but to put in the time and the work to get to the level you needed to be at was something that can be tough to prepare for.
You have to understand the NFL game and that takes a lot more time to learn because it's more complex. As an offensive tackle, you have rotating safeties from a defensive standpoint, and you had to mask your tendencies as a lineman from an offensive standpoint.
If you don't put in the time and the work you are going to have long days and a short career. There are a lot more head games in the NFL, not to mention that the size, speed and strength are at a whole new level than it was at the college game. This is a job now and must be treated as such.
I used to maul guys in college. I think rookies – myself included – get a comeuppance in the league pretty quickly. It's a learning experience and you really learn your weaknesses quickly. You have to work on them because you have to have a complete game playing in the NFL.
Unlike college, there are so many guys that are hired and fired in the locker room on a weekly basis. That gets your attention pretty quickly and you say to yourself, "Wow, this is for real!"
Although you are on a team, you realize that you are really on your own to be a part of the team and to make it. If you don't get that coming into the NFL early you will have the word "flop" or "bust" associated with your name and that will never leave you. Those are the things that concern you in the back of your head.
Of course, you come in with all of the confidence in the world because people have chosen you to be apart of their team. At the same time, there are no guarantees.
Going in there and learning your place on the team is important. From my standpoint, Warren Sapp and I went at it a lot – on and off the field. Every day while I was at my locker Sapp would walk up and slap me in the back of my neck. One day I came back and slapped him in the back of the neck when a bunch of reporters were around. It was hard enough where he didn't want to play that game anymore. It was a situation of attrition in the locker room and showing these guys that I was here to play, but I wasn't here to play around.
It was my second year in the league, 1998, when I "got it" and figured out how to play in the NFL. That's not uncommon. It took a whole year. I played a little bit in 1997 and got some snaps, but in 1998 is when I felt comfortable.
The Bucs had Paul Gruber and they were still comfortable with Jason Odom at right tackle at the time. But then I got an opportunity in 1999, and getting an opportunity and taking advantage of it is the key thing for guys that aren't number-one draft picks. You may only get one opportunity.
I played well in '98, but if you are playing neck-and-neck with someone you aren't going to dethrone them. You have to be better than them and you have to make a difference without a doubt. In '99 I had all the confidence in the world and felt like I could play with anybody in the league.
I was holding my own against Chidi Ahanotu, Marcus Jones and Sapp in the middle of my rookie year in 1997 and learning different things from different guys. Each guy had their own style and brought something different to the table in terms of learning how to block what they did to get the job done. Learning and feeling those differences takes time.
I got the hang of it after half a season, but translating that to an entire game was a different thing. Although I was able to play in games, I had to understand the entire realm of the game, and that's what Tony Dungy was so good at doing. He would explain the entire game to everybody and have them understand it. That's what translates into a great football player – taking all of the necessary elements and putting it together throughout an entire football game.
Dungy taught us about momentum, how to seize opportunity and recapture opportunity, how to keep momentum. He would talk about a game as a swinging pendulum. We had to keep momentum on our side and he taught us how to do that and to know when the opportunity to step on someone's throat is.
If you are thinking only about blocking Reggie White, which I had to do, and you are not thinking about the opportunity at hand or seeing the big picture in the game, you are not doing the best you possibly could. Your block on a specific play could be the key to that play and the key to the entire game and you have to realize the importance of those things.
The longer an offensive line can play in the same offensive system together, it gets to the point where they don't even have to communicate anymore. They know what each other is thinking. That's when they start winning championships and that's what we did in 1999 with the NFC Central championship. You have to get to that point and it takes time. There's no way around that.
There's a lot to learn for the Bucs' 2010 rookie class from how they must get stronger and quicker at the next level, how they must fit into the locker room, and how they must learn their assignments, techniques and their opponents. They won't be able to learn everything in the NFL in their first year even though the expectations will be there from the fans.

The Bison Men's basketball team hosted Concordia tonight in their exhibition opener, and Saul Phillips' squad was locked in from the opening tip in this one.
In the first half, the Bison pounded it inside to 6'-9" forward Jordan Aaberg, who gets the bucket and the foul. He completed the three-point play, and the Bison led 13-2.
Taylor Braun would take it from there, showing off with a crossover dribble and nailing the step back jumper to increase NDSU's lead to 14, while the Cobbers went almost 6 minutes without a point.
Braun showed off his athleticism, slashing to the basket and throwing it down with two hands. With 13 points and 6 rebounds for Braun, the Bison win 86-57.

SS table names and case sensitivity
24 February 2010 at 12:01am
I'm having issues on my live server with case sensitive table names.
When I did the install, all the tables were created with lower case table names, but all the SS queries use camel case table names
SELECT `SiteTree`.*, `GhostPage`.*, `Calendar`.*, `CalendarEvent`.*, `Reader`.*, `ErrorPage`.*, `RedirectorPage`.*, `VirtualPage`.*, `UserDefinedForm`.*, `SiteTree`.ID, if(`SiteTree`.ClassName,`SiteTree`.ClassName,'SiteTree') AS RecordClassName FROM `SiteTree` LEFT JOIN `GhostPage` ON `GhostPage`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `Calendar` ON `Calendar`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `CalendarEvent` ON `CalendarEvent`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `Reader` ON `Reader`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `ErrorPage` ON `ErrorPage`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `RedirectorPage` ON `RedirectorPage`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `VirtualPage` ON `VirtualPage`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID LEFT JOIN `UserDefinedForm` ON `UserDefinedForm`.ID = `SiteTree`.ID WHERE (HomepageForDomain REGEXP '(, ^) *guidinglight\.co\.nz *(,|$)') ORDER BY Sort LIMIT 1 | Table 'guidingl_ss.SiteTree' doesn't exist
So on my live server the site isn't working as it can't find the table SiteTree, even though the table sitetree is there.
I did some research and found that there is a mysql setting for lower case table names, but the problem is I am on a shared server, so I'm not sure how to change this.
Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

Hi Zav,
I had the same problem last month. I found this link helped me find out why - http://www.silverstripe.org/archive/show/38593
However it did not solve my problem.
What I did was probably not an ideal solution, but I got it to work. What I did was back up the mysql database, then took an sql dump of the database.
With the sql dump I opened the sql file into a text editor and changed the names of the tables and column names to be the proper case.
so sitetree becomes SiteTree and so forth. You can pretty much do a search and replace all.
Once that is done, (Make sure you have the backup of your DB) delete the existing database tables and then run the edited sql dump. You will probably still get a few errors but you will be able to go throught them one by one and fix it.
Good luck

Thanks for the links.
Do you or anyone else know a way to make a 'my.cnf' file to work on a per site basis?

What a pain in the a$$ this issue is ey? well I manually changed my SQL backup then had some issues due to words used in the content so here is a faster and much better way to rename tables than manually:
1) Backup your database.
2) From the main structure view of phpMyAdmin use the check all button down the bottom, then with selected do "Drop", DO NOT CLICK YES ON THE NEXT SCREEN, it will just give you an easy to copy list of table names you can use. Do this step to get the source FROM and TO, you will need to do a find replace on the "`" symbol and replace with single quote "'"
3) Copy paste the code below, fill in the variables up the top with your data and run the script on your local or remote server, copy and paste the list into phpMyAdmin's SQL window and run. Ta da!
//database name
$databaseName = '' . '.';
//array of table names to be renamed
$from = array();
//the array of table names to be renamed to
$to = array();
foreach($from as $tableNameFrom)
foreach($to as $tableNameTo)
if(strtolower($tableNameTo) == strtolower($tableNameFrom))
echo "RENAME TABLE
\n";
echo $databaseName . $tableNameFrom . ' TO ' . $databaseName . $tableNameFrom . "_B,
\n";
echo $databaseName . $tableNameFrom . '_B TO ' . $databaseName . $tableNameTo . "
\n";
echo ';';
I hope this helps you!

This topic has cropped up a few times. Generally it happens when you are using Linux on one platform and Windows on another. Windows by default makes all MySQL table names case insensitive.
If you do some searching on the forums, there are a few topics on this. Someone wrote a script that will go through and re-name your tables for you. Not sure where it is, but it should be on here somewhere.

In order to avoid these kinds of problems between Windows and Linux machines, have a look at this article. It describes MySQL's corresponding configuration settings.

This is a major pain indeed.
The installer should display some blinking red notice about this on Windows systems. I am basically re-doing a project in progress from scratch now (after changing the MySQL configuration) to prevent the hassle I had when I wanted to "quickly deploy" a preview version on a unix system the other day. Never experienced this kind of problem with any other software before, was not exactly amused. (Still got love for SilverStripe though!)

Things went very wrong for Anderson Silva last night in his UFC 168 bout with Chris Weidman. The legend ended up suffering a nasty injury when a leg kick went wrong, ending the fight and putting Silva's future into question. He had surgery on his broken leg bones last night and is currently in the hospital, but he took the time to send out a message to his fans and friends via Instagram. Here's what he said:
I want to thank all my fans and friends for their support and caring messages, I'm fine now and I need to be with my family, a good rest with my children and wife will help me in recovery. Thanks Brazil.
He also included an accompanying, older photo of him laughing with them:
I sincerely hope that we get to see Silva in the octagon at least one more time but these types of injuries are very tough to come back from, especially when you're 38. Either way, at least he'll have a lot of support during his recovery.

The Los Altos School District should move its administrative offices out of Covington School site and into leased office space with other non-profits and make the entire Covington School and the adjacent park that used to be Saint Williams School (then Walldorf School) and give the entire twenty acres to Bullis Charter School. After all it was the school board that started this whole mess when they closed the Bullis Gardner school in Los Altos Hills.

So the renegade charter school is up to their old tricks. Suing our school district to close an existing high performing school.
I hope the SCCOE is paying attention (and I'm sure they are). Their charter should be revoked. Get rid of the problem once and for all.

Quick Links
Drinking Water Knowledge Challenge
Take the 7-Day Drinking Water Knowledge Challenge to find out how much you really use in week and how you stack up to the Tampa average.
The Challenge
First, give everyone in your household a 100 gallon per day allowance.
Next, multiple the number of people in your household by 100. Multiple that result by 7. This gives you a target volume of household water for the challenge.
Example: A three person household would have a target of 2,100 gallons (3 people x 100 gallons x 7 days).
Start the challenge by recording your water meter reading before going to bed Saturday night (see How to Read Your Meter). End the challenge by rereading your meter just before bed the following Saturday.
Convert your meter readings to gallons
Subtract the ending meter reading from the starting meter reading to find your water use in cubic feet. Each cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons. Multiple the change in cubic feet recorded by your meter by 7.48 to calculate the number of gallons used.
Example: If starting reading was 007640 and ending reading was 007951, then water used in cubic feet is 311. This converts to 2,326 gallons (311 x 7.48).
How did you do?

Gwinnett County Police have released details surrounding the hit-and-runs that took place on Jan. 23 shortly before midnight.
The accidents stretched from Memorial Drive in DeKalb County to Walton Court in Snellville, with the final accident resulting in the death of Loganville's Mintiwal Woldeyhans, 69.
Her daughter, 51-year-old Yeshihareg Abebe, is in the hospital with serious injuries.
The driver, Michael O. Snider, 70, is currently in Gwinnett County jail on charges of DUI, following too closely, reckless driving, vehicular homicide and serious injury by vehicle. He was detained by Snellville Police after he attempted to flee the scene.
Read the original story here.
Following Snider's arrest, officers contacted his son and advised him of his father's location. While the officers did not mention the involvement of alcohol, the son stated he wanted it known that Snider had just come from a bar in DeKalb. He stated that the bar continuously overserves Snider and that, despite his protestations and phone calls to the bar, nothing changed.
Snider is suspected of at least ten accidents at or around the following intersections:
- Highway 78/ Bethany Church Rd.
- Highway 78/ Hewatt Rd.
- Highway 78/ Ross Rd.
- Highway 78/ Ross Rd.
- Highway 78/ Paxton Lane
- Highway 78/ Killian Hill Rd.
- Highway 78/ East Park Place
- Highway 78/ Parkwood Rd.
- Highway 78/ East Park Place
- Highway 78/ Killian Hill Rd.
He is suspected of five additional hit-and-runs in DeKalb County.
According to Gwinnett County's Cpl. Edwin Ritter, authorities continue to investigate the accidents and whether or not Mr. Snider intentionally hit the vehicles involved.
The final accident involved a total of five vehicles (diagram attached above). According to police reports, vehicle 5 was eastbound on Highway 78 and stopped at a red light in the middle lane. Vehicles 3 and 4 were also eastbound and stopped in the far right lane, next to vehicle 5. Vehicle 2 was driving eastbound on 78, slowing to a stop.
At that point, vehicle 1, Michael Owens, rear ended vehicle 2, causing it to be pushed into the back of vehicle 3. Vehicle 2 spun, coming to rest underneath the trailer of vehicle 5.
Vehicle 3 then rear ended vehicle 4. Owens subsequently veered off the roadway and ended up striking the front of Johnboy's Home Cooking.
The drivers of vehicles 3 and 4 both complained of neck and back pain but refused medical transport. The driver of vehicle 2, Yeshihareg Abebe, 51, of Grayson, was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, where she remains. Her passenger and mother, Mintiwal Woldeyhans, 69, of Loganville, died on scene from her injuries.
According to WSBTV.com, Woldeyhans raised nine children on her own. It is uncertain whether her daughter, Abebe, will survive.
"When we ask her to open her eyes, she can open her eyes," said Woldeyhans' brother, Gebeyehu Mulugeta, to WSBTV. "Is she going to come out of this? We don't know."
Woldeyhans funeral is on today, Jan. 27, 2013.
The driver and passenger of vehicle 5 were not injured. Owens was not injured either but requested medical transport.

Hey guys,
I'm still new to buddypress. I was just wondering is there a plugin that enables me to have a widget for users to login/register for my buddypress website to become members.
At the moment the login on my sidebar is only to accommodate me as the administrator and user of wordpress.org. But I want to have my own members and features for my community website.
Any one have any suggestions? I chose buddypress because of it's content management and (what I thought) ability to have users join and make profiles like many other social networking sites.

Themed music festivals have taken over the summer tours schedule in recent years, and this year seemed to offer a festival for every conceivable stereotype. The now eight-year-old Lollapalooza festival caters to young suburban slackers, while the H.O.R.D.E. (Horizons Of Rock Developing Everywhere) aims at neo-hippies, Smokin' Grooves draws in hip-hop followers, the Further Festival pulls in older, nostalgic hippies, the WARPED tour attracts punk, ska, and skateboarding enthusiasts, and the Lilith Fair celebrates female singer/songwriters. Only the R.O.A.R. (Revelations of Alternative Rhythms) Tour didn't seem to attract much of any one group--save the cult following of headliner Iggy Pop, who then dropped out after sustaining a serious shoulder injury from a stage dive.
Unwilling to pass on the latest trend (or perhaps just out to prove that there truly is no rest for the wicked), the former rock-and-roll retiree and original bat-biting godfather of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne himself, put together his own festival this summer and dubbed it with the catchy (if somewhat predictable) moniker: Ozzfest 97.
The big news centered on Osbourne's reunion with his former bandmates in Black Sabbath, who performed the night's final set on the main stage. Other main stage acts who performed after dark or in twilight included Osbourne with his most recent band, Marilyn Manson (for the tour's last nine dates), and Pantera. Type O Negative, Fear Factory, Machine Head, and Powerman 5000 performed on the main stage early in the day. The festival also offered its patrons the chance to visit Never Never Land, where second stage acts Downset, Vision of Disorder, Coal Chamber, Slo Burn, Neurosis, and Drain Sth performed. Plus, attendees could also take advantage of various piercing and tattoo booths as well as plenty of T-shirt and other merchandise vendors to add to their already singular fashion statements.
"This is the first time in my life that I have ever felt conservative," LD Butch Allen laughs. "I've seen more unusual body piercings, makeup applications, and tattoos than I ever have before."
Allen contends that you couldn't find four more different acts on the main stage, "unless we threw Kenny G into the mix or something. Pantera is a really hardcore, flash-and-bang, speed metal, outrageous Texas experience, and then you've got Marilyn Manson which is this theatrical show--it's such an overwhelming shift from Pantera, like night and day," explains the LD. "Then after them you go back in time to Ozzy's set and Black Sabbath.
Not only did Allen's design have to account for so many bands, but there was an even tighter-than-usual time crunch on this tour. Most days off were effectively travel days for the crew. "This whole event is really a story of cooperation. Every day, the rig went up, but we had no time for maintenance, and no time to interact, because it had to go up every day and we needed every single person," Allen says. "Everybody had to work together--the sound guys' side fills were going up the same time as the lighting rig, and the backline guys were rolling in then, too. We needed to come up with some little tricks day to day to make it happen. More times than not we were focusing while bands were playing because there just wasn't a minute to spare. You had to define your territory like an old tomcat in the morning."
Allen came up with a design he calls conventionally unconventional. "It's your big, fabulous 172 PAR can show because not only did the rig have to accommodate several different acts, it had to be flexible enough to work in stadiums, arenas, and sheds. I used absolutely the same system everywhere; we just had to be flexible with our rigging. So, some days it was set up in its normal, beautiful, asymmetrical plan, and other days it was lined up to be 20' [6m] center on smaller roofs. And there were days when we had to cut the trusses for the backdrops down to 40' [12m] from the normal 60' [18m]."
The rig, which was supplied by The Obie Company, also included High End Systems Dataflash(R) AF1000 strobe units. "We also had lots of Wybron Colorams and they never broke--they're awesome," Allen says. "With the lack of time, any gear that needed maintenance out there would not have survived." A Wholehog II desk controlled all of the equipment, which LDs Ethan Weber (Marilyn Manson) and Sonny Satterfield (Pantera) also used for their shows.
"Pantera played later in the evening before Manson joined us, so we had a few things programmed for Sonny should it get dark: a whole color show, and his amber yellow/open white daylight looks," Allen says. "But he brought in his own smoke, and they had so much of it that you could see his show. I have never in my life met an LD with better timing than Sonny. He is the executioner. Unbelievable. He's been with them since they were a club band and no one knows their music like he does. He finds moments in it that are really fun. He never misses a cue or a bump."
Marilyn Manson's more theatrical show strayed far from traditional smoke and beams looks, but also used a lot of smoke. "Ethan used two desks--he's amazing. If he were calling spots at the same time, he'd have multiple personalities," Allen says. "They were both great to work with. But definitely the biggest challenge in putting this together was how not to make the rig specific for myself. And keep it open enough so that the other two designers could find a little something to work with."
>From Weber's perspective Allen more than succeeded. "Manson wanted to recreate some of the theatricality of his solo shows in the Ozzfest set, so we brought in some drapes, a few special effects, and some supplemental floor lighting. Even though we came in and disrupted their routine for the last nine shows, Butch and the Obie crew couldn't have been any more accommodating to both me and Steve Wojda, our Upstaging representative.
"Butch was great--he programmed for everybody, and was at the console for the start of each band's set to make sure that everything was okay," Weber continues. "His design was unselfish--nothing too fancy, so it worked well for all of us. There was plenty of white light, color changers, and big washes, which was perfect for those of us whose bands were on in the late afternoon or early evening. I've done too many festivals that had rigs with interesting truss shapes, but with colors and focuses that didn't really work for anyone."
Yet Allen regrets that the other LDs did not have any time to program on the tour. "Our one week of production rehearsals flew by, so they had to just look at the plot and submit lists of cues written out. Whenever I found a few minutes during the day, I'd blast them into the desk," Allen says. "Load-in was at 6am, doors at noon, first band at 1:30pm. When you first step into a project like this, you can never realize what you've gotten yourself into until all seven bands' worth of gear are sitting onstage and you still haven't started focusing yet. That's when you had better organiz e yourself in a hurry, because this is about to eat you alive. But if you get good people who all want to work together, and you're all working hard, you can still turn out a quality product and have a good time."
Certainly a good time was had by the fist-pumping Black Sabbath fans who have waited for years for Ozzy to rejoin the band. Allen worked very closely with Osbourne's manager and wife, Sharon Osbourne, on the concept for Black Sabbath's set, which was to focus on the 1970s. "We had a laser, a mirror ball, and a lack of automated equipment. Ozzy doesn't need a light show--he is the man. They are there to see him during the part with Ozzy and his band. But when we switched over to Sabbath, we needed to shift the whole scene," Allen explains. "On the Ozzy set we had the distressed, old, run-down theatre look. I got the idea for the set from Stan Crocker in last October's LD article about Ozzy's show.
"Everything Stan said was true about the show being a circus with Ozzy as the ringmaster," Allen continues. "He wants the audience lights on for almost the whole show because he gets all of his energy from being able to see the kids. So you can take subtlety and put it in a suitcase and send it to Simon Sidi. I have a great deal of respect for the subtlety of his Tori Amos work--it's gorgeous. But on this show, behind 10 open-white Molefays that burn for an hour and 15 minutes, you can't see a thing. And Ozzy doesn't like smoke, but that actually helps with the video, because if there's smoke in the air, the FOH camera can't get Ozzy."
After Osbourne's set, the drops all rotated to black, and all the way upstage center another drop was revealed. "Atomic Design, using Wildfire UV paint, made me this beautiful cut drop of crosses, with invisible blue paint and orange and yellow--it was almost like being in someone's basement with a big blacklight poster of Black Sabbath from 1970," Allen says. "Tait Towers built the set for us, and as it's all soft goods it really took a lot of thinking, especially the fabrication of the rotating legs. Tait is brilliant. They just do it. They have this really cool traveler track that is a 10' (3m) section of truss with three traveler tracks built permanently into it. We had 120' (37m) of that to accommodate my two drops, Manson's three drops, Pantera and Type O Negative's drops--we had 8-10 drops on six tracks.
"Everybody wanted their own backdrops, so it saved us because we had no time to hang six individual travelers every day," Allen continues. "It has a mechanism on it that is like the switcher on a train track, so you can route different pieces of soft goods to different tracks. If we needed to strike something, we could move it into an open position and roll it right off the track and into a hamper. As the day progressed we were able to load out after each act."
As the last set out, Sabbath's show alone boasted a laser and a 4' mirror ball. "Michael Morehead from Laser Media came to our rehearsals and did the programming for us," Allen says. "Sharon requested putting them into the show, and she asked for laser pyramids and a graphic. We ended up making some crosses that morphed into this Satan/Sabbath logo--and the kids go nuts for it every night. We do nothing but traditional 1970s laser effects: 180-degree fans, typical air scanning, and beam chases. But it's a real young crowd, so they just haven't seen this in their lives. Our audience has actually been recycled on us. It's like bringing back spats and having a new generation think that it's cool.
"So the whole look was very retro. I found new fun in a PAR can, which I'd forgotten how to do, because the last few tours I've done have had all automated lights, and the one thing an automated show can afford you is the ability to use every light in every song," Allen continues. "But a PAR can allows you the ability to sit back and have fun and find the moment, which I think I'm going to do more of because it really was cool. And simple. You forgetthat less is more sometimes."
But the LD would not have been comfortable with less video support. "I don't ever want to go anywhere without my Jumbotron again," he says. "It's more than a light, it's a television. It's a letterboxed movie screen and a piece of my backdrop--they actually shot the backdrop and put it up on the screen sometimes so the screen disappeared into it. It is just the most brilliant piece of technology, works like a charm, looks great, and when you put it up in all white, it blows people's eyes out of their heads. I love it."
Having recently finished up with AC/DC's last tour, video director Pat Paulson is a veteran of heavy metal tours. "He's very creative--he came up with this comic book for 'No More Tears.' It's a pornographic serial killer comic book that goes with the song, and it's just great. It's the centerpiece of the whole show," Allen says. "All night long with those Molefays blasting on people's faces, the only way people can see Ozzy all night is with the closeups of him on the Jumbotrons. I could probably have lost about 90% of my lighting rig, but as long as we had that Jumbotron we'd have been all right."
Before Ozzy actually hits the stage there is a funny Forrest Gump-like movie that puts Osbourne in Pulp Fiction and Star Trek, and pairs him with Beavis and Butthead, Princess Di, and Elvis. "It just has new parts added to the one they had last year," Allen says. "I have a feeling that the show is primarily unchanged from last year. I imagine the set list was pretty close too, but it's Ozzy, so you never know. They gave us set lists at the beginning of the tour and I stopped using them because he just started yelling out songs.
"All the 'link' looks between songs have to be pretty close to the same so you don't get weird flashes of color as scrollers change, and you always, at any given moment, have to be ready to hit the audience with white light. Needless to say, the first few shows were really hectic as I learned how the Madman ran the circus. Which he does. He is absolutely outrageous."

Tailbeep Talks to Festival
Tailbeep is a simple administration tool that sends an audible beep when it finds a specified search string in a log file. Version 0.45 now includes an interface to the Festival speech synthesis framework.
Tailbeep was originally designed to send an alarm about firewall intrusions by searching for the "DENY" string in /var/log/messages files. The command line tool can also be used for any file that a process writes to in Append mode, thereby requiring write privileges to /dev/tty* files.
Previously Tailbeep supported speechd, but now works together with the Festival free text-to-speech system. The current version adds the ability to speak a predefined message or the line number of the source location.
Tailbeep, licensed under GPLv2, is available for download as C source code from developer Thomas Glascock's soomka.com webpage.

There are no surprises at all in the Rangers' starting lineup for Game 1 of the World Series. The lone position of interest coming into the week was right field for games played in San Francisco, as Ron Washington would have to make a choice between Vladimir Guerrero, David Murphy, and Jeff Francoeur, but as was revealed a few days ago, Washington is going to give Guerrero the first shot.
Guerrero has served as the Rangers' regular designated hitter for much of the year, batting cleanup. He used to be a decent defensive corner outfielder with a very strong arm, but age has taken its toll, and he no longer moves very well. Washington, though, believes in Guerrero's bat, and wants to have that proven stick in the middle of his order as often as he can.
The hope is that Guerrero won't be too much of a liability in the field. If he is, then that's when Murphy and Francoeur become options. Until Guerrero proves that he can't do the job, he'll keep it.

- The deck 12 pool area is missing the children's "water geyser" area in front of the bandstand. While this provides more deck space for chairs, we always enjoyed watching kids play in this area as well as walking through it ourselves to cool off a bit. From my perspective, this is a negative change.
- The Hideaway replaces the Team Earth area on deck 7-8. We only walked through this once to check it out. During the early part of the cruise it appeared to be a quiet place for reading. Later in the cruise, it occasionally appeared to be a gathering place for teens. Since we never saw much value in Team Earth, the Hideaway if probably a good change provided there is a balance between adult and teen usage.
- The Lawn Club Grill replaces the Corning Glass Show on deck 15. I loved catching the Glass Show at least once each cruise. However, we had a great time at dinner one night at the Lawn Club Grill. We made our own flatbread (a lot of fun, result was more pizza than flatbread) but left the entree cooking to the pros. While this is an extra fee specialty restaurant, its worth doing at least once (but probably not more than once per cruise).
- There were premier openings (I think) of a Michael Kors store and a Bulgari store on deck 5. The Michael Kors prices (purses and watches) were on par with on-shore pricing but saved on taxes (and a 10% off sale on watches). The Bulgari store was high priced jewelry (over $1000 as a starting point). These two stores cause me to wonder if Celebrity will be targeting higher financial demographics passengers leading (eventually) to higher fares.
- The closets in the cabins no longer have a shelf with drawers (and the safe, I think). That space is now open, with an overall loss of storage space in the cabin. This is a negative.
Highs: The Solarium (especially with so many cool, windy, cloudy days), Blu (although I ordered more non-Blu items than normal), food in general (not a bad meal all week and we feel that the Oceanview Cafe food island design is the best at sea), the elevators (among the best at sea), Lisa the CD (as singer), the Juggler/Comedian (although we missed the "Cirque" type show which we've enjoyed in the past), the Runaways party band (outstanding on the pool deck and in the Grand Foyer) and the passengers (given the bad weather and almost 700 kids on board, the passengers were friendly and the kids were busy somewhere else).
Lows: The weather (seemed like only five hours of sun through the first six days), skimpy storage space in cabin, and disembarkation in Fort Lauderdale (we were group 11 and it took us one hour from setting foot on land until we cleared customs).
Last note: this was a Presidential Cruise. The CEO / President of Celebrity was on board and available at a few Captain's Club events. Not as big a deal as I had expected but we did get some nice gift pens and towels on the last night of the cruise.
Overall, a good cruise on a very nice ship (but not comfortable to us as the Solstice or Equinox).

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP) -- A dozen horsemen will try to keep Bob Baffert from winning three in a row in Saturday's $500,000 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park.
It will be a tall order to beat the Californian's Secret Circle.
A four-time winner, Secret Circle finished first in the fast division of the $250,000 Southwest Stakes on Feb. 20, a 1-mile race that was divided because of the volume of entries.
The 1 1/16-mile Grade II Rebel has a 13-horse field that also features Scatman, which finished second to Secret Circle in the Grade III Southwest.
Secret Circle, owned by Karl Watson, Michael E. Pegram and Paul Weitman, was the early 9-5 favorite, followed by Southern California-based Sabercat, trained by Steve Asmussen and owned by Ron and Joan Winchell, at 5-1.
Sabercat as a 2-year-old won the Grade III, $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot last November.
Adirondack King, trained by John Servis, was the early 6-1 pick despite drawing the far outside position. Also at 6-1 is Najjaar, trained by Dan Peitz. M.E. Lauer-trained Scatman opened at 8-1.
Secret Circle starts in the 7 position, carrying 122 pounds including Rafael Bejarano. The horse gives up between 3 and 7 pounds to the field.
The Rebel is a prep for the $1 million Arkansas Derby, a Grade I set for April 14, and an important step toward the Kentucky Derby.
Cyber Secret, trained by Lynn Whiting and owned by Oaklawn owner Charles Cella, is a 15-1 shot starting at the 3 position.
Whiting said he likes the inside post, considering the horse faded in the Southwest with Channing Hill aboard. Robby Albarado will ride Cyber Secret on Saturday.
"From that post we can just relax back off the pace," Whiting said. "He tried to move into the toughest part of that last race. This time I think we should be able to let the others get on ahead of him and time the move better."
Najjaar, a son of Jazil, subbed a longer allowance race for the Southwest. Peltz said Najjar's draw of the 12 post should help his race, which he'll be running under Calvin Borel.
"Anything like the Southwest pace should be fine. He can just relax back there. I don't have to worry too much about anything with him. He's really pretty relaxed with everything he does," Peitz said.
Ring it Up and Pee H Dee are to run as a combined entry, both trained by Chris Richard.
Unbridled's Note, trained by Steve Asmussen, starts from the inside position at 20-1. D. Wayne Lucas entered Optimizer is a 30-1 shot.
Servis, who swept Oaklawn's Kentucky Derby prep races in 2004 with Smarty Jones, who went on to win the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, said Adirondack King has been training well for the 1 1/16 mile distance.
"His last workout we just wanted to let him finish up well," Servis said. "Just stretch his legs, because he's pretty ready but I didn't want him to gallop out so much. He didn't give us much of choice, because it was still pretty strong."
Also running are Reckless Jerry and Atigun, both at 12-1 and Jake Mo, 20-1.

11Quotables: Khloe Kardashian Talks Body Image
I tried to cut out a lot of sweets. And I love … cheese. [Cheese] is not a sweet, but …. I don't care. [I like] cheese on anything, I don't care. … [I] binge eat and cry. … It's always going to be a lifelong thing for me. And I'm not where I want to be. When I used to do things like crash diets or things too fast, it never stuck because it wasn't a lifestyle change, so for this, I'm working out consistently like three to five days a week … It's been harder. But I'm just changing my diet slowly.
—Khloe Kardashian on her relationship with food and dieting, God love her. I seriously wonder if she feels the way she feels about herself and her body because she worries what people think about her and her body, or if it's really something that bothers her on a deeper level. Because while I'm not all on board with people destroying themselves through substances (whether it be drugs, alcohol, or edibles), I AM on board with people doing whatever the f-ck they want with their bodies as long as it's not harming anyone else. I mean, seriously. What's so wrong with having a few extra pounds? Why's it such a big deal when people love food? Why does there have to be anything wrong with the person who loves nothing more than to sit down to watch Monday Night Football with a cornucopia of stuff to graze on, having it make them happy?
Seriously, are there not much, much worse things in life than people who derive serious joy from food?

She's not fat. She's quite beautiful actually. She has a better body, better personality, and is a way better person than her sister Kim could ever hope to have and be.
I adore khloe… But people has been horrible to her. They call her big foot and cow girl … I think she's wonderful.
Last night I dreamt I was sitting next to Khloe, trying to convince her she's the best Kardashian (because, duh). As soon as Kim showed up, we started to get chased by rabid skunks. I don't know what that means, but Kim's timing seemed pretty spot on.
Everyone looks big next to midget Kim & Kourtney. My friend actually took a picture with Khloe and she doesn't look out of proportion at all.
AMEN to that!! i'm sick of feeling bad because I enjoy food.
Damn straight. :)
I't great to hear that, because it actually sounds honest. I do think as long as you're not harming anybody else, do whatever you want, and if that entails eating cheese 24/7, well, so be it.
Khloe is like 5'10″, isn't she? She shouldn't weigh like a hundred pounds anyway. I NEVER thought of her as fat at all and WHY people felt compelled to make her where cover ups or whatever when Kim and what's-her-face get photoshopped to hell in back in their ads, I just don't understand. Kim definately has a fat ass and Kourtney has been pregnant for two years or something. Is someone telling Khloe she's huge? I hope not, because she's not. But I'm all for her trying to eat healthier. Skinnier is not necessarily healthier for crying out loud. UGH
When I first read her quote at the end she says "But I'm just changing my diet slowly."
I thought she said, I'm just trying to die slowly. .. too bad.
oops.. I meant, 'that's bad!'
This chick is cool.

A popular game played by many Facebook users started a life-changing chain of events that will allow for a Georgia couple to give an organ to a complete stranger.While playing Farmville on Facebook, Lisa Miller of Gainesville met a young woman who was in desperate need of a kidney. The 29-year-old Idaho woman's kidneys are failing, and Miller decided to make it her mission to find her an organ donor.But Miller didn't have to look far. Her husband, Chris, was a perfect match, and he was more than willing to make the sacrifice. The Millers traveled to Washington, where the woman—whose first name is Tiffany—receives treatment. There, they met her face-to-face for the first time."The emotions were overwhelming," said Lisa Miller. "I mean, to finally meet her in person.""Now we're a part of her, and she's a part of us," Chris Miller told FOX 5. "That bond we have now is pretty intense."Tiffany's surgery is set for January. The Millers have started a fund to help with their costs to travel to Washington, and to help Tiffany during her recovery.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Immediate, Long Range Impact for New Sioux Falls Overpass
In the early 1990's, Sioux Falls leaders predicted the arrival of cars numbering in the thousands and dozens of businesses would be built because of a bridge crossing I-229 at Louise Avenue. They were right. So it's not too much of a stretch that 21-years later a new bridge spanning the same road a half-mile to the west, spanning Solberg Avenue on the north and Tallgrass Avenue on the south, will do the same.
On a warm, windy day in August, members of the city hierarchy and South Dakota Secretary of Transportation Darin Bergquist witnessed the opening of the structure that will eventually host around 4,500 cars per day.
In the near term, Sioux Falls Director of Public Works Mark Cotter says the 57th and Louise intersection will see a reduction of traffic by 10 percent.
Glancing to the future, more development shall arrive as business and residential entities find their way to area.
Tallgrass will eventually get an upgrade of pavement to the south and 69th Street gets widened to the east. Those are the sure bets if you wanted to place a marker on the future of that zone.
Odds are good for an interchange within 5 years to make an Exit 74 on I-29 to link 85th Street to 271st Street.
Beyond that, as Sioux Falls grows, people will go where the roads will take them.

'Tis the season in Montpelier; decorations are up, including the holiday tree on the Vt. Statehouse lawn.
According to the state it's a holiday tree and not a Christmas tree, protecting the First Amendment and the separation of church and state.
"Christmas trees are called holiday trees sometimes because the tree itself is not considered a religious symbol," said Allen Gilbert of the American Civil Liberties Union in Vermont.
But Rabbi Tobie Weisman disagrees and says it's a Christmas tree.
Rabbi Tobie Weisman: I think Christmas is represented by the tree.
Reporter Gina Bullard: Even though it's called a holiday tree?
Rabbi Tobie Weisman: Yes, because that's not part of the Jewish holiday. A Christmas tree is a religious symbol.
Weisman's request to light a menorah on the Statehouse lawn so Jews feel included this holiday season was granted. It will be in Montpelier for only one and a half hours.
"If you live in a smaller community like we do, we do feel more isolated and not part of the wider community when there's just a Christmas tree," Weisman said.
The state granted Weisman's request because it's only temporary. They say putting a menorah up for the duration of Hanukkah next year will have to be reviewed.
"What's happening is people are trying to exercise their First Amendment right for individual religious expression, which is a great thing," Gilbert said.
Religious controversy has been around for years all over the nation. Gilbert says it's an indication of just how difficult it is to preserve religious freedom.
"Holding onto the tolerance this country was founded on requires constant work and makes us all uncomfortable at times," Gilbert said.
Gilbert says by allowing the lighting, the government is staying out of religion by not endorsing any one religion.
"If it's a menorah with a holiday or Christmas tree then it's much more likely a court would say that's permissible," Gilbert said.
"This is part of publicizing the miracle and for the Jewish community to feel part of the celebration this time of year," Weisman said.
This is not a new issue; it's a fight that's been fought all over the country. Vermont has had two federal cases involving challenges to religious displays on public property in the past, including one 25 years ago in City Hall Park in Burlington. In that case, the Federal Appeals Court ruled the menorah display unconstitutional because it was violating the separation of church and state.
The Jewish community that came out Tuesday in Montpelier says even a few hours is the step in the right direction.

Alvin Gentry out as head coach of the Phoenix Suns
Originally published: Jan 18, 2013 - 10:53 am
The Suns lost 98-94 to the Milwaukee Bucks at US Airways Center Thursday night. The defeat, their fourth straight at home, dropped the Suns' record to a Western Conference-worst 13-28.
Gentry was in his fifth season as head coach of the Suns and had compiled a record of 158-144. The 58-year-old became the coach of the team in February of 2009 on an interim basis when Terry Porter was fired in his first season on the job. Gentry guided the Suns to an 18-13 mark the rest of the season. He was given the job on a permanent basis following the completion of the 2008-09 season
Undoubtedly, the finest moments of the Gentry era came in the 2009-10 season when the Suns reached the Western Conference Finals before falling to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games. Los Angeles would go on to defeat the Boston Celtics to win the NBA championship.
The Suns have missed the postseason in three of the last four seasons and are very much in danger of doing so again this season.
The Suns don't play another game until next Wednesday when they travel to take on the Sacramento Kings.

Let Uber Be Ubiquitous
While no car service should be allowed to operate totally unfettered, governments should promote rather than stifle technological innovation and its manifold benefits.
Which 5.9 Percent?
For which precocious 17- and 18-year-olds should Harvard throw open the gates?
The College Outside the Classroom
Just because a skill cannot be taught in a lab or lecture does not mean it is not worth learning.
Doing Better
The College's policies for disciplining sexual assault, although currently under revision, have not been updated since 1993, and remain inadequate.
Commence the Protests
Rather than naming a name and then sitting silent, universities should play a more active role in refereeing the campus discussion.
Accurate, Sophisticated, Helpful?
Harvard is attempting to remedy a much more complex issue by attacking a mere symptom of the problem.
Pondering Privilege
Sensitivity cannot be taught in a classroom—it comes from personal interactions and contemplation.
A Needed Change
It is commendable that Harvard will catch up to its peer institutions, though unfortunate that it took a major cheating scandal to catalyze that needed transformation.
Permissible, but Not Welcomed
We acknowledge that a student group can and should have the right to operate as it desires within the confines of the law and University rules. At the same time, a demonstration that deeply disrespects the core beliefs of other students is antithetical to any sense of community.
A Troubling Lack of Transparency
The right to freedom of the press was established to keep the people informed; and while the government reserves the ability to keep certain classified material from the public for our own safety, it is harmful to our very democracy when taken too far.
Reason over Confrontation
Divest Harvard's tactics distract us from the debate on climate change that the Harvard community should be having.
Keep the Licenses Flowing
As Cambridge can attest, unfettered awarding of licenses is good for the economy, and likely does not pose much of a hazard to public safety.
Reemphasizing Title IX
While prosecution of attackers should remain a priority, we should not deny the important role universities can play in creating a culture of safety for its students.
A Worrisome Decision
Although Justice Kennedy's reasoning in the Schuette decision tries to avoid the issue of race, it is impossible to deny the role race plays in our country's politics.
Add Value to Visitas
Harvard should not rest on its laurels. Harvard should not assume that any given student will—and should—attend. Instead, Harvard should show students everything it has to offer, from the academic to the extracurricular to the social.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
From filmy bra tops to opera coats with the rumpled appeal of bed sheets, there was a delectable boudoir influence at the Spring shows. Channeling Helmut Newton by way of Lillian Bassman, Jason Wu's slim leather harnesses and corsetry details had editors tweeting "Fifty Shades of Wu." Still, the overall message was more lady than vamp. Satin slips that hugged the figure in all the right places turned up at Narciso Rodriguez, Rochas, Céline, and Valentino. A handful of times, the spaghetti straps on those numbers fell off the models' shoulders, but then they'd push them back up again with such come-hither nonchalance, the incidents seemed to have been planned all along. Silky robes at Miu Miu and the Row, and meant-to-be-seen bralettes from Victoria Beckham and Jonathan Saunders rounded out Spring's lingerie chest.

Burglars raid primary school twice
4:36pm Saturday 14th January 2012 in News
BURGLARS raided a primary school for the second time in a month having already stolen computers worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Police are appealing for information after intruders broke into St Mary's Primary School, Colchester Road, Ardleigh, twice.
They first got into a classroom overnight between December 15 and 16 and took almost 20 computers including Apple iMacs, MacBook Pro laptops and Ergo laptops.
Then just before mdinight on Friday, January 13, they entered the school again but fled empty handed after setting of the alarm.
Investigating officer PC Liam Battersby appealed for any information about either break-in.
He also appealed for information from anyone who has been offered iMac, MacBook and Ergo computers cheaply and in suspicious circumstances.
Police are considering whether these latest offences are connected to recent computer thefts from schools in other parts of north Essex.
Anyone with information call PC Battersby of the Tendring Response Team at Harwich police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

4.6/5 rDev 0%
Having a pint of this hand-pumped from the cask at Vivo! in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The first thing I noticed was the sweet scent of this beer... I could smell it as the server brought it to me! Very strong hop scent with something fruity like apricot or mikan. The head on this cask ale was beautifully creamy in texture and in hue like melting whipped cream on strudel. The beer is a beautiful orange-leather color similar to the original Yokohama XPA, cloudy in the same way as well. The lacing this brew leaves around the glass looks like bacteria in a petrie dish, reminding me how alive this brew is in my mouth and in my stomach. There is a magnificent coexistence of sweetness and bitter notes that remain.
The 7 C's of the name stand for the different hops used to create this brew: Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Citra, Crystal, Challenger, and Columbus. If you can find this anywhere, get yourself a pint and enjoy!

The Browns have signed LB Emmanuel Acho, a sixth-round pick from Texas, the club announced Monday.
Acho (6-2, 238) notched 131 tackles in his senior season at Texas. In PFW's 2012 Draft Preview, personnel analyst Nolan Nawrocki wrote that Acho was a "three-position backup lacking starter-caliber traits in any area" who "(could) be best playing on the strong side in the pros."
In addition, the club signed rookie RB Adonis Thomas and second-year LB JoJo Dickson and released RB Armond Smith.
Thomas (5-8, 185) rushed for 1,071 yards and 12 TDs in his senior season at Toledo. He tried out for the club this weekend.
Dickson, who played at Idaho, was signed as an undrafted free agent by Jacksonville in 2011. The Jaguars waived him on July 31, 2011. He re-signed with Jacksonville on April 16 but was waived on April 27.
Smith, 26, played in three games for Cleveland in 2011, rushing three times for two yards. The Browns released him on Oct. 18, and he was re-signed to their practice squad two days later.

Mini Square Silicone Column Mold: This innovative 2-piece silicone column mold makes a mini square shaped log that is amazingly easy to unmold. No more pushing until it feels like your fingers will break!
We love using these little molds for embedding shapes into soap using our 10" silicone loaf mold or cutting the log into pieces to decorate the tops of soap. Due to the length of our mini mold, extra support is needed for the mold to remain upright. We recommend using our heavy duty column mold or simply a tall glass to support the mold until your soap has hardened. The interlocking seal is easy to use, no clamps or bands are needed. And of course, since it is made of silicone, this mold is extremely easy to release your soap and wash. As with most silicone molds, your cp soap may need an extra day or two in this mold to fully harden since the flexible silicone sides do not allow air inside the mold, which results in slower evaporation of water and hardening of your soap. Works well with melt & pour soap, too!
Please Note: To avoid any leaking make sure the interlocking seal is fully pressed together around the entire edge of the mold. We recommend handwashing your mold.
