I have established the ad hoc mode on E51.
However, the performance is terriable.
It cost almost 13 sec to establish.
I think that the problem is getting IP address.
Maybe I could assign static ip address to improve performance.
Am I right? Or, anyone could give any idea?
I appreciate it.

The Arizona Cardinals will give Brian Hoyer his first NFL start, less than three weeks after the team claimed him off waivers from Pittsburgh.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt said Wednesday that the former Michigan State quarterback will start for the Cardinals in their season finale Sunday at San Francisco.
Hoyer, who spent three seasons as a backup in New England and was out of a job for most of this season, will be the fourth starter at quarterback for the Cardinals this year, operating an offense that ranks last in the NFL.
Arizona also has gone with John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and rookie Ryan Lindley at the position. Kolb is out for the season with a rib injury. The other two were benched for lack of production.

Users Selecting cost by checkbox using PHP, javascript or jquery b4 update db
I have an issue trying to populate a price list for use in order processing. Would appreciate your help and any advice. The page should allow a user to either select the set cost of a service charge ($10.01 for brake pads) using CHECKBOX OR type in a CUSTOM PRICE amount for the customer. Test data ($10.01 for brake pads) is ok to the screen from the db, now just trying different ways to get form input field to function in CHECKBOX OR CUSTOM PRICE scenario. I'm relatively experienced with PHP but not with jquery. I've found some other similar code marked 'PHP method' and 'JQuery method' as possible options. Once visually set on screen, the input will be treated the same and saved as fields, added for total cost etc. I'm looking for the simplest way to implement while at bare knowledge of javascript and jquery & learning both.
The partially working link is as shown:
from the database, currently assigning each value to order before processing form. On submit, would reassign vars when input="" or =="0";
PHP Code:
$row_rsActiveServices = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
PHP method {{{{
PHP Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="<? $row_rsActiveServices['bus_patch']; ?>" <?php if(isset($_POST['chk']['A'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?>/>A
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="<? $row_rsActiveServices['bus_plug']; ?>" <?php if(isset($_POST['chk']['B'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?>/>B
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="<? $row_rsActiveServices['bus_alignment']; ?>" <?php if(isset($_POST['chk']['C'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?>/>C
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="<? $row_rsActiveServices['bus_muffler']; ?>" <?php if(isset($_POST['chk']['D'])) echo 'checked="checked"'; ?>/>D
<input type="checkbox" name="chk[]" value="A" <?php if(isset($_POST['chk']['A'])) echo 'checked="checked" *echo '; ?>/>A
<!-- repeat this code for each service, we assume that servicesid is unique for each service: -->
<input <?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsActiveServices['showinfooter'],"y"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> name="checkbox[<?php echo $row_rsActiveServicess['servicesid']; ?>]" type="checkbox">
<input type="hidden" name="checkbox_mark[<?php echo $row_rsActiveServices['servicesid']; ?>]" value="1">
Code JavaScript:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"> </script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("p").click(function(){ $(this).hide(); }); }); </script>
JAVASCRIPT METHOD: Using a button rather than checkbox to change the value of an element
Code JavaScript:
<p id="demo"> JavaScript can change the content of an HTML element. </p> <script> function myFunction() { x=document.getElementById("demo"); // Find the element x.innerHTML="Hello JavaScript!"; // Change the content } </script> <button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Click Me!</button>
Gather the information:
PHP Code:
mysql_select_db($database_db, $db);
// the value (servicesid) is passed in hidden input's key, therefore
// the value of the input itself is irrelevant ($dummy)
foreach ($_POST['checkbox_mark'] as $value => $dummy) {
$option = isset($_POST['checkbox'][$value]) ? 'y' : 'n';
$query = "UPDATE services SET showonwebsite='$option' WHERE servicesid = $value";
$Result = mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error());

I'm seeking a best method that would assign a database field to a html input if checkbox is checked. I'm indifferent to whether the best way is php within html or an approach i'm less familiar with (javascript or jquery). Perhaps 'onclick', etc.
For instance, <input name="servpatch" would be assigned value of
<? $row_rsActiveServices['bus_patch']; ?> when user clicks checkbox <input type="checkbox" name="boxpatch" value="ON" />
Thanks for any help with this.

"When the user clicks"... this tells you that you want Javascript to handle it.
PHP can pre-load the javascript variables during "Parse Time" as I call it (PHP is parsing the file). Alternately, you can use AJAX to retrieve them as-needed.
Because you want the page to respond to user input in HTML, you need Javascript in some form.
So; you can simply have PHP output the variables into the script...
PHP Code:
<script type='text\javascript'>
var bus_value = <?php echo $row['bus_value"]; ?>
So... Let me give you the logic flow as I see it.
Form Logic:
form start
foreach Service (or While New Row from DB)
Echo name, checkbox, textfield, hidden field with field names assigned as keys to chk[] and tfield[], fields[] arrays.
Submit button
form end
Form Processor Logic:
foreach $_POST['fields'] as key => value
if chk[key] is set, or (tfield[key] is not empty and tfield[key] is numeric)
process service
endforeachNever grow up. The instant you do, you lose all ability to imagine great things, for fear of reality crashing in.

LONDON (AP) -- Chelsea will have to replay at Birmingham in the fifth round of the FA Cup after Saturday's 1-1 draw against the second-tier club heaped more pressure on under-fire coach Andre Villas-Boas.
Birmingham lost captain Stephen Carr to a 12th-minute injury Saturday but took the lead at Stamford Bridge eight minutes later through David Murphy.
Chelsea earned a 22nd-minute penalty when Wade Elliott fouled Ramires but goalkeeper Colin Doyle saved Juan Mata's kick and Chelsea needed a 62nd-minute equalizer from Daniel Sturridge to salvage the draw.
British media widely reported this week that Villas-Boas has fallen out with several Chelsea players unhappy at the tactics and management that have left the west London club fifth in the Premier League.

I'm a Persian Gulf War veteran.
I was a legal specialist in the Army, and during the war, my services weren't exactly in high demand. Instead, I did a lot of other support roles in the military police battalion I served with. I spent a lot of time traveling across Saudi Arabia and parts of Iraq to get mail from makeshift post offices for our units.The highlight for many soldiers in war is that correspondence from home -- love letters, care packages or just a hello from an old pal. I'll always remember bringing that moment of joy for my fellow soldiers.
When I left the Army to go back to college, I pledged to serve veterans in some form or another. I haven't always been as successful at that as I wanted, because, well, life happens. You're blessed with marriage and a kid, a good career and you get busy living life. Sometimes your well intentions get pushed to the back burner.
The success I have had serving veterans has been as a journalist. I've written personality profiles about veterans, researched and written veterans issue stories, covered parades and tried to shine the light as brightly as I could on veterans organizations.
When I heard about Honor361, I was thrilled. Gilbert Ramon's movement to spearhead an Iraqi Afghanistan War Monument here in our back yard is a great idea.
"Our goal is to make a monument that will make people want to visit," Ramon said.
It's not only a great idea, but a BIG idea that needs help. So, enter SwimBikeRun, an event to help raise money for the monument. The inaugural event is a super sprint triathlon featuring a 400-meter swim, 10.5-mile bike and a 2-mile run course.
"This event will also involve Wounded Warrior Athletes," he said. "So we are hoping that our community comes out to support and cheer them on."
If you think this is just an event built on the fly, think again.
"Swim Bike Run of Victoria was contacted by the city-VBC to organize a triathlon event here in Victoria," said Brandee Bratton, who is helping organize the event. "Our staff consists of two USAT Race Directors, Joe Bratton and Kimberly Rollins, who organizes numerous racing events here in Victoria and Edna."
The triathlon bounced around a few ideas for a nonprofit before settling on Honor361. Ramon approached Bratton asking for help prior to the triathlon forming. "I took it as a 'sign' from God that the triathlon and Honor361 were meant to be tied together," Bratton said.
The event will have a military theme that includes dog tags for finisher medals and discounts for military registrants. It will also include special activities at the race such as ROTC kids and an Army or Air Force band, Bratton said.
The event's date, May 11, also has a special meaning.
Marcus Luttrell will be in Victoria for the Golden Crescent Habitat for Humanity's 3rd Annual Sweat Equity Speaker Series on May 10.His book "Lone Survivor" has become a big hit at the box office.The race also has special plans arranged for all race participants to pick up their race day packets on May 10 at Faith Family Church where the Field of Honor is for the upcoming Warriors Weekend, Bratton said.
"I think most everyone involved is passionate about what this race stands for, who it stands for and that alone makes it a success," Bratton said. "Now that 'Lone Survivor' is out, I hear more and more people saying things like 'It is truly a blessing that such men walk the earth.' And for every man and every woman who sacrifices himself/herself for our life, we are honored," she said.
The event's goal is simple.
They want to "provide an event honoring our military men and women who served in Iraq-Afghanistan while organizing a race everyone can have a part in," she said. "The reward will be a monument that will educate our community and our children on the sacrifices to protect our freedoms. This goal is essential to ensure their sacrifice will not be forgotten."
So, how can you help?
Volunteer. Help the event. Make your company a sponsor of the event.
"We will be making this an annual event with a goal to build a Vietnam Monument" after the Iraq Afghanistan one is built, Ramon said. "We are currently looking for sponsors."
To help
Go to the Facebook pages of either Honor361 or SwimBikeRun and post that you want to get involved. You can also email the race at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The University of Nevada women's basketball team closed out the 2012 Cancun Caribbean Classic with a 62-49 loss to Miami-Ohio Saturday afternoon.
With the loss, Nevada falls to (5-6, 0-0 MW) on the season while Miami-Ohio improves to (7-5, 0-0 MAC).
Both teams played each other close to start the game, as the score was tied 7-7 in the opening minutes. A jump shot by Nevada guard Chanelle Brennan snapped a 9-0 Miami-Ohio run at the 11:10 mark. The basket also started a 6-0 Wolf Pack run to bring the score to 16-13 in favor of the RedHawks. Nevada trailed 32-20 at the break, led by Brennan's nine first half points.
Miami-Ohio got out to an 8-2 run to begin the second half. The RedHawks built up a 20 point lead over the Wolf Pack halfway through the period. Nevada showed some fight late, going on an 11-0 run to get within nine points of Miami-Ohio at 56-47. During the stretch, the Wolf Pack came up with defensive stops and quality possessions on the offensive end to make things interesting. A layup by RedHawks forward Kirsten Olowinski with 1:32 on the clock ended a seven minute scoring drought for Miami-Ohio. The RedHawks resumed control of the game to win it 62-49.
Senior Chanelle Brennan led Nevada with 21 points. RedHawks guard Courtney Osborn led all scorers with 30 points.
Nevada will conclude its three-game road trip with a stop at Wake Forest on Dec. 31.

Energy drinks, the buzzy beverages with names like Monster, Bawls, Red Bull and RockStar, continue to bedevil the medical community, who warn that their sugar and caffeine content make them unsuitable for children who are teased by the hip handles.
The companies, conversely, fire back that their drinks are safe and contain no more caffeine than the cups of coffee millions consume every day at Starbucks.
Energy drinks are beverages that often contain caffeine, taurine, herbal supplements, sugar, and guarana. These drinks, sold in supermarkets, convenience stores and shops that sell vitamins and supplements, are marketed to improve energy, promote weight loss, and boost stamina, athletic performance and concentration.
Red Bull, the granddaddy of the bunch, exploded onto the market in the late 1990s and contains about 66.7 mg of caffeine per 8.3-ounce can, less than the 107.5 mg in a typical cup of coffee.
Most list caffeine, the main active ingredient in energy drinks, at 70 to 80 mg per eight-ounce serving. But caffeine counts of 350 mg have been registered in some products — the equivalent of 10 cans of caffeinated soda.
The Food and Drug Administration imposes a limit of 71 mg of caffeine per 12 fluid ounces of soda but energy drink manufacturers can circumvent this limit by touting their products as "natural dietary supplements."
In addition, energy drinks often add caffeine through "energy blend" additives like guarana, glucose, kola nut, yerba mate, L-carnitine and cocoa. Monster's "energy blend" mix in a single eight-ounce can is 2,500 mg, not counting the 27 grams of sugar. (The recommended intake of sugar is 40 grams — for the entire day.)
A gram of guarana can contain 40 to 80 mg of caffeine but companies are not required to list the caffeine content from these additives. So, the caffeine count can be much higher than the can's nutritional label, according to a 2012 University of Miami study of energy drinks and their health effects on children, adolescents and young adults, published in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The authors were lead author Sara Seifert and doctors Judith Schaechter, Eugene Hershorin and Steven Lipshultz, who traveled to Washington earlier this month to address a panel convened by the Food and Drug Administration and the Institute of Medicine to review the health consequences of energy drinks for children.
"If you had to predict what ages we saw the most poisonings, you would probably say high school or college-age kids, young adults. But over 50 percent of all the people who felt they were getting poisoned by drinking energy drinks or unintentional exposures, were less than 6 years of age," said Lipshultz, professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "Unintentional" meaning the youngest children stumbled upon the sweet, attractively packaged beverages in the home refrigerator, Lipshultz said.
The UM study, which relied on self-report surveys, found that energy drinks are consumed by 30 to 50 percent of adolescents and young adults. Of the 5,448 caffeine overdoses reported by 57 poison control centers in the United States in 2007, about 50 percent of those occurred in children younger than 19.
Children — especially those with cardiovascular, renal or liver disease, seizures, diabetes, mood and behavioral disorders, along with hyperthyroidism or those who take certain medications for attention deficit disorder — could be at higher risk for adverse effects from consuming energy drinks, the UM study reported.
"You are getting stimulants on top of stimulants so that is not going to help you concentrate better," Lipshultz said.
Caffeine intoxication is a clinical syndrome marked by nervousness, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, rapid heartbeat, or tachycardia, and stomach upset.
"I definitely think it's a disservice done to our kids," said Baptist Health South Florida chief wellness dietician Natalie Castro about the energy drinks. "Caffeine is a stimulant. There is a smaller body weight, they are younger, and there's too much stimulation going on. This is not something that is recommended or needed as part of a healthy diet."
A recent report from the American Medical Association supported a ban on the marketing of energy drinks to children younger than 18. The American Academy of Pediatrics added that "energy drinks have no place in the diet of children and adolescents."
Other research studies have found that the high level of citric acid, used as a preservative in energy drinks, strips the protective enamel from teeth, which leads to cavities. The energy drinks had a more harmful effect on enamel than traditional sports drinks like Gatorade.
An analysis of energy drink toxicity in the National Poison Data System by a team of doctors from the University of Miami, University of New Mexico School of Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine, New Mexico Poison and Drug Information Center and Holtz Children's Hospital of Jackson Health System was published in June by Informa Healthcare.
The report said the threshold of caffeine toxicity for healthy adults is 400 mg per day and the numbers decline the younger one gets. An adolescent's threshold is 100 mg per day; children younger than 12 should tolerate no more than 2.5 mg per day. Energy drinks top most of these numbers.
Tracey Halliday, vice president of communications for the American Beverage Association, addressed the reports by sending the Miami Herald the organization's letter to the FDA, along with its analysis of The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's January 2013 report, which used data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN).
The DAWN report noted an increase in the number of emergency department visits involving energy drinks and concluded that the consumption of these drinks "is a rising public health problem."
At the request of the American Beverage Association, Pinney Associates, a pharmaceutical and healthcare research group with offices in Maryland and Pennsylvania, was asked to conduct a review of the DAWN report.
Among the DAWN findings, energy drink-related visits comprised 0.25 percent of all drug-related emergency department visits in 2007. By 2011, that rate rose to 0.41, or nearly double. These visits, however, did not require further medical follow-up, compared with emergency visits related to other products or medications.
The Pinney analysis ruled that the "limitations of the DAWN system suggest caution in basing public health policy on the results relative to energy drinks."
Halliday also cited the industry's July letter to the FDA. The healthcare professionals' reports, including the UM studies, "paint a distorted and highly inaccurate picture of caffeine use and safety, ignoring the vast number of robust and reliable scientific publications that have, for decades, established the safety of caffeine at the levels presented in energy drinks, including for younger consumers."
The 32-page letter also blasted the studies that suggest young consumers are targeted and are among the highest consumers of energy drinks.
"On the contrary, the fact that 30 to 50 percent of adolescents 'consume' energy drinks is vague … [a]nd does not specify whether 'consume' means drink an entire can, or merely taste or sample. In any case, government data show that consumption of energy drinks by younger consumers has not increased those consumers' overall caffeine intake. Therefore, the amount of energy drinks consumed by younger people is not a cause for alarm."
Halliday also pointed to the American Beverage Association's contention that energy drinks are not targeted to children. "Energy drinks are not intended for children. The leading energy drink makers have voluntarily pledged not to market these products to children or sell them in K-12 schools. In addition, these companies voluntarily display an advisory statement on energy drink packaging, stating that the product is not intended (or recommended) for children, pregnant or nursing women, and persons sensitive to caffeine."
Lipshultz countered: "The industry says they don't market to kids but it's totally marketed to kids." He noted names like Rock Star and Monster that appeal to a young demographic.
"People buy them because they have an effect on the body but none of the effects are therapeutic for kids," he said, rebuking the drinks' promises.
"'Take this, you'll be more awake,' but we found medical studies suggesting that taking energy drinks all the time reduced the amount of REM sleep, so you get more tired. 'Take this, it will help you lose weight.' But with all the sugar, you get all these unneeded calories so you don't lose weight.
"The issue is, for a lot of kids this may not necessarily be harmful, but, on the other hand, if you're a child who has an unhealthy heart, even if you don't know it, we don't think it's a good idea to take stimulants. A lot of people who get sick are not just the average but there are vulnerable populations," Lipshultz said.
"It's not like we take every child in school and do an ultrasound on their heart to see if their heart is normal or not."
Myerly Kertis, a pediatric registered dietician for Holtz Children's Hospital, says that parents need to read the labels for products they have around the house that can prove attractive to little fingers.
"I know a lot of times there's sugar in there and sometimes added herbs or various things. As far as the clinical side, some of these herbs can harmfully interact with medications," Kertis said. "Some are fine, but read the label and be knowledgeable about what you are putting into your body especially if you are on medications and taking things with herbs. Always check with a doctor."

Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, agreed to a deal to fund the government past this November's elections. The deal leaves working out a budget up to the next Congress and provides funding for the federal government through March 2013, well beyond the presidential inauguration in January.
Senate Republicans again Tuesday blocked Democratic legislation that would require greater transparency into who is behind much of the secretive, often negative campaign advertising filling the airwaves this election season.
Senators approved a giant farm bill Thursday that is estimated to cut the deficit by almost $24 billion, largely by ending direct payments to farmers and replacing them with taxpayer- subsidized crop insurance to assist farmers in need.
Your pain at the pump is the U.S. Senate's top issue this week.
With less than two weeks before federal money runs out for transportation projects across the country, a partisan showdown is developing between Senate Democrats and House Republicans over passing a new bill.
Sen. Pat Meehan urged the Senate to pass two House bills that would extend the payroll tax cut and improve infrastructure.
Deja vu, round two, a bad sequel or simply "here we go again" are some ways to describe the latest fight over extending the payroll tax cut. But even facing an end-of-month deadline before the 2% tax holiday expires, lawmakers appear no closer to a deal.
Senators descended into an angry and emotional debate Thursday night.
An emotional debate on the Senate floor Thursday night is putting a microscope once again on the political games in Washington that Americans overwhelmingly detest.
Senate Democrats still have not decided when to take up the jobs bill President Barack Obama announced with great fanfare to a joint session of Congress almost two weeks ago. In addition, they are still working to determine if they will vote on the bill in its entirety or augment it with additional job growth ideas of their own.

After weeks of bipartisan negotiations, President Barack Obama said congressional leaders agreed to a plan that would lift the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling and avoid an unprecedented default on the nation's debt -- if, that is, members of Congress vote to approve the agreement.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says a national default "is not going to happen," and that he's fully engaged in talks with the president.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, temporarily stopped legislative consideration of his debt ceiling proposal late Saturday night, reversing an earlier decision to hold a key procedural vote on the measure by 1 a.m. ET Sunday.
House Speaker John Boehner's plan to raise the nation's debt ceiling and slash government spending narrowly passed his chamber on Friday and then was blocked by Senate Democrats, setting up a weekend of negotiations to seek a deal that would avoid a potential federal default next week.
Little did Steve Jobs know in January 2007 that he was about to unveil a device that, four and a half years later, could help end a vicious debate about raising America's debt ceiling.
First the House debt ceiling bill came up short. Now it's the Senate bill.
With America now perilously close to default, here's where I sense we stand. My observations may be off as I have only had a brief time in Washington to take measure, but let me give it my best shot.
President Barack Obama on Monday endorsed a debt-ceiling proposal by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would cut federal deficits by $2.7 trillion and increase the federal borrowing limit through 2012, the White House said.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is taking aim at the world's oldest profession, calling for an end to legal prostitution in his home state of Nevada.
The Senate's top Democrat said Tuesday he would propose a 30-day extension of government funding at roughly current levels to allow time for negotiations with Republicans on a longer-term spending measure.
While the president's State of the Union address was filled with applause lines that brought many fellow Democrats to their feet, one part in particular rankled some key members of his party: "If a bill comes to my desk with earmarks inside, I will veto it."
In a rare interview, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid previewed the next congressional session and hyped a productive lame-duck session that included a bipartisan tax deal, the repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, passage of New START and a bill to provide medical care to rescue workers sickened from their work at ground zero.

When a scuffle broke out at a candidate forum in Nevada last week between supporters of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican rival Sharron Angle, the fight didn't end after tempers cooled.

Senate Democrats called out Republicans on Thursday for what they said was the promotion of "falsehoods" on the financial reform bill and vowed to move the bill forward.
Republicans and Democrats in Congress seem to have found one issue on which they agree. Neither party wants to get near immigration reform, the new "third rail" in American politics -- an issue so politically charged that politicians risk their careers by touching it.
As a typical American who shuns the hard work my grandfathers did, last week on this site, I took responsibility for creating the problem of illegal immigration.

Thousands of Tea Party activists Saturday will mount their latest cross-country protest against big government and health care reform, hoping its kickoff point also will carry a strong symbolic message.

CNN iReporters sound off on remarks Sen. Harry Reid made during the 2008 presidential campaign.
As our nation's politicians return from their holidays, the agenda they left behind is still front and center. Getting an acceptable compromise of the very different Senate and House health care bills is still the president's and the Democratic leadership's priority. Stopping it is still the Republicans' priority. The final details may antagonize some of the Democrats' most important constituencies and the grumbling has already started.
CNN's Soledad O'Brien breaks down the controversy created by racially "inartful" remarks by Sen. Harry Reid.
The GOP's 2008 presidential candidate decried Tuesday what he called a "stunning double standard" between the treatment of a top Democrat and Republican leader caught making racially insensitive remarks.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is in hot water for some comments he made to reporters in a new book called "Game Change." In the book, Reid said, Barack Obama had a chance of winning because he was both "light-skinned" and didn't speak with a "Negro dialect."
Sen. Harry Reid's comments during the 2008 Democratic primary show that he is socially awkward, but they certainly don't prove he is a secret racist. If anything, these comments show that Reid may know about white voters, but he doesn't understand black voters at all.
Despite Republican calls for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to step down from his leadership post over racially insensitive comments he made about President Obama, analysts believe the controversy won't hurt Reid any more than other issues already have.
CNN Political Editor Mark Preston gets Political Analyst Donna Brazile's take on Sen. Harry Reid's controversial comments.

A beautiful coastal city located just 35 miles northeast of Manhattan, Stamford, Connecticut has had many changing faces over the past century, evolving from the major port between New Haven and New York City at the turn of the 20th century, to "The Research City" in the 1970s, to the third-largest corporate center in the country in the 1980s. The city's latest evolution began in the late 1990s, as Stamford cemented its status as a major financial center.
Stamford real estate offers a variety of living options that fit the many needs of its diverse population of 117,000 residents. The city has both urban and suburban elements, from the multi-acred wooded lots in North Stamford, to beautiful shoreline areas, such as Shippan Point and Dolphin Cove. Signficant new high-rise residential development is being done in the downtown area, with condominiums and apartments ranging from "affordable" to high-end luxurious residences.
Downtown Stamford offers a variety of shopping, fine dining, entertainment and other attractions, including the 1,700-plus seat Palace Theater, home to the nationally-recognized Stamford Symphony Orchestra and the Connecticut Opera, plus the Stamford Center for the Arts, which includes two theaters. The city's proximity to The Big Apple opens a whole other world of entertainment options, from Broadway to Times Square. The Metro North railroad can get you to New York City's Grand Central Station in 46 minutes, with ample parking at the Stamford train station. Stamford is also a stop on the Acela, the high-speed train between Washington, D.C. and Boston.
Stamford has protected its coastline area with large tracts of open land, including a number of public parks for recreational use. More than half a dozen parks are located here, ranging in size from six acres up to the 187-acre Mianus River Park and Glen, offering swimming, fishing, ice skating, picnic areas, riding and nature trails, athletic facilities and natural areas. Scalzi Park, located on the river in the downtown area, has bocci and tennis courts, baseball and softball fields, volleyball courts, a fitness course and a roller hockey rink. A busy boating area with a plethora of marina slips, Stamford also has great beaches, including Cove Island Park, Cummings Beach and West Beach. A public ice skating rink at Cove Island Park and two private rinks are popular sites, and have even attracted a few Olympic skaters.
Stamford offers a variety of public and private education options. The Stamford public school system, which serves about 15,000 students, is one of ten districts nationwide named as a model of exemplary education reform by the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. The district offers magnet schools at all grade levels. Stamford offers a full parochial school system, including a regional high school. The University of Connecticut's Stamford campus, located downtown, offers both undergraduate and graduate programs, many geared toward the needs of the local corporate community.
Stamford is a popular residential choice for both condominium buyers and single-family home purchasers. Condominiums range in price from $200,000 for an "entry-level" option into the millions for high-end luxury. Homes range in size and price from approximately half a million upwards. There are also a significant number of apartment communities for rent.

4.59/5 rDev +10.1%
On Tap at Churchills – 03/16/13
Standard pint glass
A: Pours a hazy golden straw colored body with some orange tones. Has a sort of fuzzy peach appearance to it with some streaming bubbles rising up to form a thin rim of paper white foam on top. Not enough head to note much on retention but what was there seemed pretty persistent leaving behind a nice trellis work of lace down the glass.
S: Smells of deep lush tropical fruits with highlights of mango and juicy melon. I get a light grapefruit zesting mixed with some lemony pines and an expressive danky herb note. Very floral nose with just a smidge of sugary sweet pale malts in there. An awesome prelude to the great hoppy flavors here.
T: Flavors burst with green melon, tangerine, grapefruit, and a generous spike of mango. I get a dash of lemon and young berries as well. Incredibly hoppy, fresh, and lush. I would say the Simcoe origins of the Mosaic hops really start to assert themselves with a following of that piney dank weed. Light sugary cracker malt base with a touch of peppery rye. There is a real nice juicy pucker to the beer but despite the massive hop flavors overall bitterness is rather moderate and smooth. A touch of alcohol presence noted but all things considered this is incredibly well balanced. This is outstanding!
M: Lighter in body with a nice even carbonation. Smooth creamy texture and a nice drying crisp towards the finish. A bit of hoppy pucker to the palate and slightly resinous with sticky hop oils.
D: Fantastically drinkable stuff. An all around incredible IPA. Bear Republic has reaffirmed my love for them as one of my favorite breweries. I thought Café Racer was great and Churchill's X even better. Has everything I look for in an IPA. Just juicy with citrus, tropicals, pine, and sticky greens.
Probably the best IPA that very few will know. Only 10 kegs brewed exclusively for Churchill's Pub 10th Anniversary. Get this one while it lasts!

03/02/2013 and many times after that
Hazy yellow orange. Explosive Amarillo aroma with huge grapefruit, tangerine, and orange aromatics. Bright and vibrant and outstanding. Juicy orange and grapefruit with big tangerine in the flavor. Just a blast of hop flavor with a lower moderate level of bitterness. Delicious. Rye malt has a soft and unobtrusive presence. Bear Republic killed it with this one. A beer worthy of the bar it was made for. Crushable stuff.

Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
A very hazed golden with a thick, creamy near-white head. Sheets of lace are left down the glass. A very pretty IPA.
An explosion of Nelson and Citra hops...but apparently, neither were used in the brewing of this beer! Apparently this is brewed with Mosaic hops, but they sure fooled me! Well then...regardless, this is an incredibly smelling beer. It's a wonderful balancing act between Alpine Nelson and Societe Pupil. Grapefruit, spice, dank, citrus, passion fruit...this one has it all. Wonderful!
The flavor isn't quite as exceptional as the aroma, as there's more biscuit in the flavor than there is in the aroma, but, regardless, the hop character translates nicely from the aroma and this is an incredibly delicious, gulpable IPA. A very expressive hop-forward IPA. Cuz AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR MALT!
Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation.
Fantastic. A highlight of Churchill's Renaissance party.

4.21/5 rDev +1%
Draft at Churchill's, March 2013.
Pours a hazy, dark golden orange color with apricot edges and a two finger pillowy white head. Great retention, only slowly settling into a lasting cap/ring. Soapy lacing left behind.
Floral, resinous hop aroma with a slight onion-y/summit presence along with earthy grass and tropical/citrus fruit. Pine needle character with biscuit malt, slight caramel, mango, pineapple and orange peel.
Medium bodied with a crisp, oily resinous hop bite that lingers over the tropical fruit notes and pale malt backbone into a slightly dry finish. Crisp, clean and easy to drink with bitter, grassy hops followed by grapefruit, orange peel and papaya sweetness. Really well balanced with fruit and light malt notes countering the earthy bitterness of the hops. Really drinkable with an invisible ABV. Very nice!

Served in a tasting glass at the brewery. From notes. Reviewed 10 March 2013.
A: Cloudy, wheat-gold. Light head. Good lacing.
S: Pine and citrus, unsurprisingly, but the hops don't taste particularly bitter.
T: Tastes initially sort of like Pliny the Elder, then fades into Racer 5. The finish is soft and wheaty.
M: Dry and bitter, but light and round. I like it.
O: At 100 IBU, it's intense, but still approachable and drinkable. Recommended.

On tap for Churchill's Renaissance 2013 at Churchill's Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA.
Pours a hazy light orange with a foamy tan head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, citrus fruit, citrus zest, and slight tropical fruit aromas. Taste is much the same with a citrus zest flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

"Churchill X." (This was NOT called "Churchill's Ten" on the menu/taplist during the Churchill's Finest Hour 2013 release. Not sure where they got that name. I loathe inattention to detail). Served on-draught into a pint glass at the Churchill's Finest Hour 2013 release at Churchill's pub. Reviewed from notes taken standing up in a crowded bar; as a result this review does not go into as much detail as I usually like to.
A: Pours a one finger fluffy head. Soft, with nice cream and excellent retention (8+ minutes). Body colour is a hazy yellow-orange. Vibrant and appealing. I'm excited to try it. Nontransparent. Translucent. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show.
Sm: Lovely fresh citrus zest. Juicy. Nectary. Pale malts. Fresh and pleasant. No yeast or alcohol is detectable. Floral. Very attractive. A moderate strength aroma. Subtle and appealing. Good for the style.
T: Lovely. Light lemon-citrus zest. A bit juicy. Some nectary hop character. Pale malts comprise the supportive apt foundation. No yeast or alcohol comes through. Refreshing. Well balanced; little hop bitterness comes through. Clean. Delicious. Good complexity and subtlety, especially for the style.
Mf: Soft, chewy, smooth, and wet. Yet it's still coarse enough to coax out the flavours without limiting its refreshing texture. Good presence on the palate. Excellent carbonation. Really good execution.
Dr: Incredibly drinkable. I could down this beer all night. Tasty stuff. I'd highly recommend it to friends. Another knockout IPA from Bear Republic. Impressive.

A: A very hazy wheaty looking yellow body with a one finger white head.
S: Extreamly hoppy. There is a citrus and grapefruit bitterness along with a subtle sweetness.
T: Dank hop flavors in the front. There is some citrus. Extreme bitterness throughout. Very little malt to back it up. This is an unbalanced hop bomb.
M: Thick body with great carbonation.
O: Good but not great IPA. If they up the malt, it would be an extraordinary IPA

You can take a deep breath, Orange County, California. Your prized off-season acquisition has cleared the fences in a regular-season baseball game wearing your team colors!
It took 113 at-bats, but Albert Pujols hit his first home run of the 2012 MLB season this afternoon, going yard in the fifth inning against Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchinson.
In an attempt to quell his slugger's struggles at the plate, Angels manager Mike Scioscia sat Pujols for Saturday's game. The DNP paid off.
The Angels, who are in last place in the AL West, were able to have fun with Pujols' first dinger of the season, exhibiting something far more hilarious than the typical cold-shoulder treatment teams have been known to do when a player hits his first career home run or snaps out of an excruciating long cold streak.
Yes, in fairness to #angels, clearing the dugout in its entirety takes the concept to a new level. Even Scioscia fled.— Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) May 6, 2012
Assuming this signals a shift back to normalcy for one of the game's best hitters, it will surely silence the noise being created by a St. Louis Post-Dispatch story that quoted former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa.
In the article, LaRussa offered his take on Pujols' slow start, suggesting that his former first baseman is affected and distracted by living away from his family, among other things.
The Angels currently lead the Blue Jays 4-2 in the top of the seventh. If they hold on, they will have won five of their last seven games.
Maybe things won't be so bad for this highly touted club much longer.

The Commercial-News
---- — BISMARCK — The Bismarck-Henning volleyball team got its first win of the season Monday with a 25-20, 25-23 win over Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley after two tough losses to start the season.
The Blue Devils lost 2-0 to St. Joseph-Ogden in their opener and then lost 2-1 to Danville, but Blue Devils Coach Susan Kentner saw major improvement over GCMS.
"SJO is a competitive team and against Danville, we had our opportunities to win and we just didn't take advantage of them," Kentner said. "Tonight, we made the most of our chances and our serving improved as well."
Mary Bass has 10 kills for Bismarck-Henning while Maddie Winkler had 13 assists and two aces, Stephanie Bott had the kills and three blocks while Jessica Hall had two aces and three blocks.
The Blue Devils are 1-2 and will face Milford tonight.
PBL 2 Oakwood 0

Heartland 3 DACC 2
DANVILLE — The Jaguars took the lead two different times, but could not overcome the taller team from Heartland.

Jared Buzzard had a assist and a goal for the Jaguars while Edgar Vila had a goal and Ben Wynn had a assist.
The Jaguars are 0-3 and will play Joliet Junior College on Wednesday.

Eddie Hodges Radio
b. 5 March 1947, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA. In the mid-50s child star Hodges appeared in television programmes The Jackie Gleason Show and Name That Tune and was seen on Broadway 405 times in the hit musical The Music Man. In 1959 he starred alongside Frank Sinatra and Edward G. Robinson in the film A Hole In The Head and can be heard on Sinatra's hit from the film, 'High Hopes'. He also had a major role in the film of Huckleberry Finn, starred with Hayley Mills in Summer Magic and even had his own television show, The Secret World Of Eddie Hodges. His youthful revival of the Isley Brothers' 'I'm Gonna Knock On Your Door' on Cadence, not only took him into the US Top 20 in 1961 but also gave the 14-year-old an Australian and Canadian chart-topper and a small UK hit. He returned to the US Top 20 with an endearing song written by Phil Everly, '(Girls, Girls, Girls) Made To Love' in 1962. He had releases on Columbia Records in 1963 and MGM Records in 1964 before 'New Orleans' on Aurora in 1965 gave him his last US chart entry. It seems that, for Hodges, maturity brought a halt to his recording career.Portions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Victor Snieckus, Chemistry
Victor Snieckus, the Bader Chair Emeritus in Organic Chemistry, has played major roles in three discoveries over his career that have been turned into successful commercial products.
Yet Dr. Snieckus owns no patent rights to these products. He is more interested in designing syntheses of molecules and sharing his research to help improve the availability of new medicines.
"I'm very idealistic that way. I don't care about having a bigger house. I have a roof over my head, food on my table, a closely-knit, caring family, and work that I love. What else do I need?" asks Dr. Snieckus. "Perhaps a bottle of wine and some good jazz once in a while."
Dr. Snieckus's research is focused on aromatic compounds, a class of organic molecules that are present in 80 per cent of marketed drugs. He describes his research using a Lego analogy.
"Imagine 10 Lego blocks of different shapes, colors, and sizes and the large number of ways they can be clicked together. Chemists dissect a molecule to simpler Lego blocks A, B, C, and so on and decide on reactions to piece them together. The possibilities are limitless. So, when I look at a molecular structure to synthesize, how can I not get excited," Dr. Snieckus says.
A substantial portion of his work is related to boron, which he describes as the element of the 21st Century. While simple boron compounds are used as antifungal agents, detergents, in bulletproof vests and even in emergency shutdown systems for nuclear reactors, organic boron compounds are tremendously useful in making pharmaceuticals, and are now being developed as light-emitting devices and semiconductors.
"I'm in good company," says Dr. Snieckus. "This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to three scientists who discovered catalytic organic reactions – one is an organoboron chemist who inspired our work." The other is Richard Heck who accepted Dr. Snieckus's invitation in 2006 to come to Queen's. He conducted research here for five months.
"What a delight that was for our students," says Dr. Snieckus.

To ensure transparency and accountability in its financial transactions, the board of the Indian Hills Fire Protection District is establishing policies for employees and its members.
According to a draft of purchasing and financial policies reviewed at the June 25 board meeting, Fire Chief Emery Carson would need to receive approval from the board for any expenditure over $2,500. And credit cards would be issued only to Carson, the office manager for the fire district and the treasurer of the board. Also, credit cards would not be used for any personal purchases.
Evergreen residents rated their community as an excellent-to-good place to live during a planning meeting June 24. The Jefferson County survey also showed that 85 percent believe the benefits of business development and job growth would not justify environmental and visual impacts on the community.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District is considering acquiring a liquor license for events at the Evergreen Lake House to gain control of alcohol sales and generate additional revenue.
"This is something we have been talking about," EPRD board member Janet Doyle said during discussion of the proposal at the June 24 board meeting. "Right now, we don't have control over those functions, and we have liability."
Evergreen singers and songwriters Caitlin and Sidney Powell are among the youthful musicians who will perform at the 25th annual Evergreen Music Festival & Art Show on July 4.
The all-day event at Evergreen Lake offers a variety of music this year, along with plenty of works from local artists for sale in the Lake House.
The 12- and 15-year-old Powell sisters have been playing original and popular works at area venues this past year, including the Muddy Buck, the summer concert series at Evergreen Lake, and Parker Days.
GEORGETOWN — Lucas Crespin wasn't going to be denied any longer.
The 29-year-old Lone Tree resident has been painstakingly close to winning the Slacker Half Marathon three times before, finishing fourth in 2008 and '09 — the first time after a detour cost him some precious minutes — and he was the runner-up in 2012. But each time, he got a little bit faster.

For the Courier
This year's edition of the Elk Meadow 5K/10K was not your ordinary run for Carly Kloack of Parker. The June 28 event served as the Baylor University lacrosse athlete's first 5K, and despite finishing 11th overall in a field of 32 runners — 52 runners competed in the 10K portion — Kloack was all smiles as she crossed the finish line in 32 minutes, 20 seconds.
PINE — Michael Friedberg had two primary reasons for running in the fifth annual North Fork 50 ultramarathon. First, he decided to give it a whirl after talking to previous competitors who complimented the 50-mile race. Two, it was a training session of sorts.
Below my window is the roof of two buildings and two large paved parking lots that were scraped flat out of the hillside. Because of our hard rains, these are drained away to prevent puddling.

I wish to add my voice to the growing number who have experienced adverse health effects from Chittenden Water District's water supply. I live in South Burlington, Vermont, and 4 family members (one of whom is a baby) and two house guests have had and continue to have rashes and gastrointestinal distress since the addition of chloromine to our household water. Only use of alternate water from another town relieves our condition.
At present, we cannot shower at home and must carry in drinking and cooking water. Please, authoriites, remove chloramine from our water supply, or provide unaffected water to our home.

Thank you MV Voice for continuing to bring this issue to the public.
I am one of those more than 400 Bay Area residents who has a toxic reaction to chloramine. Neither my dermatologist nor my allergist was able to diagnose the problem and it was only after going off tap water completely that the eczema that tormented me for over a year disappeared.
Please, medical personnel, take a look at this issue. Check out www.chloramine.org for more information and consider suggesting to those who are affected that they try eliminating tap water. Many people are suffering--I'm sure it's more than 400--and they don't know why.

Now with winter, we're supposed to by plain water for the humidifier so we don't poison our family while we're sleeping. Thank you Voice for your consistent message about chloramine.

Indeed he is a journeyman (pablo) but the manager hasn't got it wrong so far.......and everyone settles down eventually....
Interesting to note both the York and Hartlepools websites both note 2 good things about Bury's play. That is, 1. whenever we didn't have the ball, we tried to ensure that we had at least 2 players on the oppositions player who did have the ball, forcing a long ball. 2. The Bury bench always had 2 or 3 coaches, giving the players the direction required...
All good stuff.
I think we just need a new srtiker now and we are going places!
