Please use the buttons below to see more information on Sale Sharks and matches between Wasps and Sharks over the years.
Wasps made it eight wins out of eight at Adams Park, but they were made to work hard for the win by a tenacious Sale side after failing to turn first half dominance into points.
It wasn't until Rhys Thomas's try, 15 minutes into the second half, that they finally gave themselves some daylight. The win lifts them above Bath and Worcester, and into seventh place in the Premiership.
The Adams Park ground staff deserve enormous praise for getting the surface into such excellent condition, just 24 hours after the Wycombe Wanderers game against Bradford City had to be called off, because the pitch was waterlogged.
Wasps started strongly, after Billy Vunipola's charge from the end of a lineout, just outside the Sale 22. The ball was controlled through several phases, before a loose pass by Ashley Johnson was picked up by Sale winger Mark Jennings and the ball was cleared downfield, where Vunipola knocked on, to give the visitors an attacking scrum. The Wasps pack responded well and a series of strong scrums led to a penalty, from which Elliot Daly found touch, deep inside the Sale 22.
Wasps threatened a try, after Daly fielded a clearance kick and fed Hugo Southwell, who spotted a gap in the Sale defence and made 30 metres before moving the ball out wide, but Wasps were penalised at the breakdown allowing the visitors to clear to the 10 metre line.
James Haskell then stole the lineout and the Wasps forwards took play into the 22, before the ball was again moved out wide. Sale were penalised twice, near their line. Wasps put the first penalty into touch at the corner, but then opted to go for goal from the penalty at the lineout. Stephen Jones landed the kick, to give his side the lead, after ten minutes of dominance.
A minute later, Wasps were caught offside in midfield, on their 10-metre line but Nick McLeod's kick went wide.
Wasps were soon back on the attack, when Joe Simpson broke from a lineout ten metres inside the Sale half. He linked with Ashley Johnson, before Billy Vunipola put in a characteristic charge down the midfield. Wasps went through several phases, before Andrea Masi sent a kick towards Christian Wade's wing, but the ball went into touch. Another promising Wasps attack ended disappointingly, when they were penalised for crossing, inside the Sale 22.
The Wasps scrum was continuing to look strong and another powerful shove yielded a penalty in the middle of the field, five metres inside the Sale half. Stephen Jones was again on target, to double the lead, to 6-0, after 22 minutes of play.
Two minutes later, Sale opened their account, when Rob Miller landed a long-range penalty, after Wasps were penalised for not rolling away from the tackle, a few metres inside their half.
Almost immediately the visitors went ahead from their first serious attack of the afternoon. Sam Tuitupou smashed through some weak tackling in midfield to make 30 metres, before being brought down just short of the line. Quick ball was moved out to the right, and number 8 Richie Vernon went over near the corner for a well-worked try, which Nick McLeod could not convert, but the visitors now led 8-6.
The try clearly lifted the visitors, who began to find some momentum and enjoyed several minutes of possession. They nearly claimed a second try, when Hugo Southwell's attempted chip through the defence went into the arms of Mark Jennings with nobody in front of him, and a 50-metre run to the line. It took a fine covering tackle by Joe Simpson to prevent a score.
A minute later Wasps were back in front, thanks to a trademark monster penalty from Elliot Daly, from several metres inside his own half.
Within a minute, Sale had a chance to retake the lead, after Wasps were penalised 40 metres out, but Rob Miller's kick went well wide. Wasps mounted one last threatening attack, with Joe Launchbury featuring prominently, to take play deep into the Sale 22, but halftime came with the score still at 9-8 to the home side, hardly a true reflection of the way much of the half had gone.
Wasps began the second half well, with another Vunipola run starting a controlled piece of play which ended with a penalty, when Ashley Johnson was taken out of the ball. Stephen Jones's kick from 40 metres stretched the lead to 12-8, but it was only a matter of seconds before Wasps again offended at the breakdown, 35 metres out and Rob Miller put the gap back to a single point.
Two minutes later, a good run by Hugo Southwell led to a penalty, 35 metres out just to the right of the posts and Jones landed his fourth successful penalty, to put Wasps 15-11 ahead.
Wasps then produced their first try of the afternoon, created by a storming run by MOTM Billy Vunipola, who picked the ball from the base of a scrum, on halfway. He produced an astonishing burst of speed, to almost make it to the line. The Wasps forwards arrived quickly, to recycle quickly and Rhys Thomas crashed over near the posts. Stephen Jones added the conversion and the Wasps lead was now a more comfortable-looking 22-11, with just over 25 minutes left to play.
Wasps then made their first replacements of the afternoon, with Jonathan Poff and Tim Payne taking the places of James Haskell and Zak Taulafo.
With the game now in danger of slipping away from them, Sale produced their best attack of the half, which put the Wasps defence under severe pressure. They spent several minutes hammering away at the line, before replacement prop Tony Buckley was forced into touch at the corner.
The siege was eventually lifted, when Wasps turned over Sale possession ten metres inside their half and Ashley Johnson sent a long kick downfield which bounced awkwardly for Mark Jennings and rolled into touch near the corner. Wasps won the lineout and set up a position from which Stephen Jones dropped for goal, but he completely mishit his kick and the ball sailed wide.
Further Wasps replacements brought Nick Robinson, James Cannon and Tom Lindsay onto the field in place of Stephen Jones, Marco Wentzel and Rhys Thomas.
With seven minutes left, Rob Miller missed a simple penalty. Three minutes later, Nick Robinson made no mistake with a penalty won by another powerful scrum, deep inside the Sale 22.
Charlie Davies took over from Joe Simpson for the last three minutes of the game.
The visitors mounted one last attack and Jonny Leota crashed over in the final play of the match. Miller's conversion meant Sale had secured a bonus point, which could yet be crucial in their fight against relegation.
Wasps visit their Thames Valley neighbours London Welsh next Saturday 29th of December, at the Kassam Stadium Oxford. They are back at Adams Park on January the 6th, when Bath are the visitors.

Wedan said she will not stand down, she has never sued the school district, has no plans to sue the district and believes she can work amicably together with the other board members, for the good of the community. She has asked to be on the school board meeting agenda for Monday night, specifically to speak about the superintendent search. She expects her candidacy may be brought up -- but not by her.
As to why Jirsa has said she had a claim against the district and therefore should withdraw from the election, Wedan remains puzzled. She says there were letters exchanged by lawyers in May, concerning information she was trying to obtain from the district on why she wasn't allowed to substitute teach at the middle and high school levels. She said she never received any satisfactory answers, but it's a dead issue now. She adamantly denied ever pursuing a lawsuit against the district and hopes the school board can move past this issue to what really is important -- educating the students.
"I appeal to the board members to let all of this go," she said. "I can be such an asset to the district. Work with me. I don't understand why this is happening. I have never sued the district. There was one letter sent (by my lawyer) as a request on a personnel matter last spring.... This is not a vendetta. I've thought about being on the school board a long time (but didn't pursue it, because I worked for the district). I visit schools wherever I go. I was in China and Tibet last year. I was very impressed with their educational process.... I bring my experience to the board in all aspects, not just in our school district. I'd like to give a few years of my life on the board, to address serious issues. I believe in this district. We have great teachers and students. This isn't about me. It's more important we find the right superintendent right now....
"We have to get the community back involved. Education is the most important thing.... Board members have to get out with the people. I love the students. They seem to like me. I'd like to be able to visit with them and with the student councils. I'd like them to have a voice at board meetings. I'd like a student representative to be on the superintendent search committee. Students are my heart's priority," Wedan said.
As far as she's concerned, she said, she is here to represent the community on the school board.
"I'm not withdrawing (from the election)," she said. "Too many people are counting on me. I'm responsible to the community and the people who signed my petition and want me to represent them. The issue is we have a job to do, a responsibility as a school board. Let's get on with the job."
Wedan said she is looking forward to the opportunity to work with the board members and to learn from them. At the same time, she believes a breath of fresh air is necessary, on both the board and in the search for a new superintendent.
She encourages residents to attend the school board meeting Monday night at 7 p.m. at the town hall board room. She said school administrators have accepted an intentional letter from Patrick Hickey, business services director, concerning the position of superintendent.
"Why are we in such a hurry?" she asked. "Why not wait until a new school board is elected? They'll be working with the superintendent. We need to do a state or national search. We need to advertise. Maybe the best person is in-district, but we need to look further afield to see what's out there. Sometimes, you just need new blood, new concepts, new ideas. It's only fair to the new board they are the people to select (the superintendent)."
Wedan expressed concern that the negativism over her candidacy might cast a pall over such election issues as the mill levy vote, and said the emphasis should be placed on that topic, rather than on her candidacy.
She emphasized that she doesn't "play dirty politics" and just wants to get on with business, which she believes should include being open to differing opinions.
"Different people have different thoughts about what the district should do...and in the past 8 years, many of our citizens haven't felt welcome to express their opinion.... My job is to weigh all sides and make the best decision I can to help our students be successful.... I've made a study of education my commitment because I care about how our kids develop for their adult lives. I'm not political -- but have been forced to respond to some hard politics in the past month. I want to be sure that I'm on the record that I've never sued the school district. No organization is perfect -- and it's the right of employees to ask for fairness; but at no time have I ever filed a lawsuit of any kind. That's not who I am.... I hope to work through the negativism to make things more open and responsive to the needs of our community and students," Wedan said.

Would you like to see pecan pie become the State Pie of Texas?
What do you think is the biggest problem in the State of Texas? Funding public schools? Finding jobs for the unemployed? Fixing broken roads and bridges?
Last week, State Sen. Charles Schwertner (R-Bryan) introduced a resolution to address the ongoing dessert controversy.
Dessert controversy?
Yes. Did you realize that Texas has no official State Pie?
Florida has Key lime pie; Vermont claims apple pie; and Indiana residents are partial to something called sugar cream pie.
Schwertner's resolution would designate pecan pie as the official State Pie of Texas.
It reads, in part:
"Though there are many ways to enjoy pecans, it is practically a given among Texans that they belong, first and foremost, in a pie; the earliest record of this distinctive dessert dates to the late 19th century; the weekly humor magazine Texas Siftings described it in February 1886 as being 'not only delicious' but 'capable of being made into a 'real state pie.''
"Texans generally agree on two things: Texas pecan pies are, hands down, the best, especially when made with Texas pecans by a Texan, and secondly, whether served hot or cold, with a scoop of ice cream or without, pecan pie is indeed the perfect ending to any meal."
On Monday, Sen. Schwertner's pecan pie resolution was recommended for uncontested adoption.

HEY GUYS!!!! Just a quick question and overall opinion
I bought 5 playbooks yesterday because I am sending them to Europe to a few of my cousins. Reason I bought this was because I thought you could have android apps on it but this playbook updated to 2.1. Now from people's opinions is the android market worth it? or is the blackberry app store decent enough to not really worry about the android apps. Why I am asking is if it is Ill just take this one back and get a new one and try to avoid the update and just downgrade it so I can add the android market before I send it over for christmas. Thanks

You get android apps whether you have root or not, all you will need to do is download DDPB which will sideload the android apps instead of having Android Markets app.
*Keep in mind that while you can get Android apps, only about half of them will work, because the playbooks android player doesn't support native code yet.

The Android Player works better on 2.1 anyway. I wouldn't worry about it.
As antiRIM noted, anything that isn't available through App World can be sideloaded. To be clear, you do NOT get Android Market through ANY Playbook OS.

Ok so where are there instructions on installing android app player on playbook with 2.1? Because I thought I read that if you upgrade above 2.0 you are out of luck

The Android Player is built into the OS, so root isn't a requirement. Just install anything from 126.96.36.19971 to the most up to date software and you will have it .

IDC Study: Economic Downturn as Linux Growth Engine
A market study by the International Data Group (IDC) has come to the conclusion that the worldwide financial crisis is a growth opportunity for Linux, both on servers and desktops. Novell was the sponsor for the survey and whitepaper.
Next to increasing cost pressures, the survey respondents identified virtualization as a factor for selecting Linux-based solutions. The IDC reports that more than half of the respondents plan to adopt Linux virtualization over the next year, of which roughly 72% are evaluating or have already decided to move Linux on their servers. About 68% of desktop users have come to the same conclusion. Virtualization under Linux was the desired solution for 88% of the respondents for the next year or two, whether by evaluation or outright adoption.
The survey came with a precondition that all respondents have at least some familiarity with Linux solutions. Sponsored by Novell, the IDC in February surveyed 330 organizations with 100 or more employees in the manufacturing, financial services, retail and government sectors. 97% of the respondents reported Windows as their server platform, 55% Linux and 39% UNIX.
The study results also show that not necessarily those hit hardest by the financial downturn are the ones to switch to free software, that is, organizations in North, Central and South America. The biggest Linux growth rather was in the Asia-Pacific region: 73% of the respondents wanted more Linux server installations, 70% more on the desktop, compared to 67% and 66%, respectively, in the Americas. According to the market study, the financial and government sectors were the hardest hit. However, the biggest trend toward free software was reported to be in the retail sector, where 63% of the respondents want to see Linux on the desktop, 69% on servers.
A further survey result certainly substantiated Novell in its sponsoring role: 67% of the respondents considered the Linux and Windows interoperability as a main factor in choosing a platform. Novell should be happy with this result, because of itscooperative agreement with Microsoft and the large part of their revenue that comes from it.
Novell provides a link to the IDC survey whitepaper on its website.

I'm using an e-mail address under my personal domain in my N8. Everything worked well when using Symbian Anna but now after installing Belle - there's a problem: e-mail doesn't sync automatically.
When I set my e-mail box up will the sync work for few times just fine. But then it stops working. Manual-sync works fine and there's not a single problem. I have tried to re-set the box again and again but in the end it's always the same: syncs automatically few times but then it stops working.
Any ideas what to do?

I'm having the same problem with gmail on my C6-01 after installing Belle. I've tried to change the settings between having it sync all the time and every 15th minute, but there's no difference. The e-mails arrive just after changing the settings, but after that again only manually. Very annoying.
14-02-2012 10:31
Hi, I was having the same problem that after Belle update I could not receive emails after set up.
My email is with eircom.net and phone is with Vodafone Ireland. It is working afet I tried these settings.
Set your own email address, user name and password.
Try this settings:
Incoming server: webmail.eircom.net ( use your own, this in mine with eircom.net)
access point: internet
NB: security: OFF
Port: default
APOP secure login: OFF
outgoing server: For vodafone it is mail.vodafone.ie (Ireland)
Access point: internet
Security: OFF
Hope these help....

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it did not help me. Phone still sync mails when it's done manually, but auto-sync doesn't work even if I deleted my account from the phone and tried to set it up again.

Same problem, here, Nokia C7.00, re installed Nokia Belle, removed mailboxes, still not working
20-02-2012 11:53 - edited 20-02-2012 11:57
I've got the same problem and stumbled across a workaround.
In my case I've set up some POP3 accounts with polling (syncronisation) every 15 minutes without accepting Ovi's terms and conditions. It seems that the mail poller is incapable of opening a new connection if one is needed, but if a connection is already open then it will poll e-mail.
So once your mail is set up now you need a program which keeps a connection constantly open. If you don't use a messenger/Facebook/Twitter/WhatsApp client which does this then you can try Nokia Drop from http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-drop .
If anyone from Nokia's reading I guess that Ovi Mail works because if you do accept Ovi's terms and connections then the poller sets up a constantly open IMAP IDLE connection from the beginning. But suggesting that customers use Ovi Mail is not the correct solution, holding a connection open uses more battery than connecting once every 15 minutes, the Ovi Mail server isn't 100% reliable either, and not everyone finds handing their password over to third parties to get round a polling bug on the client acceptable.
20-02-2012 14:01 - edited 20-02-2012 14:53
Just found out that you don't need a background task to hold the connection open, you can go to Settings > Connectivity > Admin. settings > Mobile data and change Mobile data connection to 'When Available'.
Just to be sure make sure that Access point on the same screen is filled in, Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Network Destinations > Default connection is also set up, and Mail > Settings > (Mailbox name) > Mailbox Settings > Incoming mail settings > Access point in use is set up as well.
Edit: It doesn't seem to reliable as the method in the previous post.

I have the same Problem, I don't underestand why it will work a few times and then nothing, Please we need a fix asap, I liked Anna better to be perfectly honest.
11-03-2012 5:49
I am alos a victim of symbian belle...gmail not getting synched automatically...carrying nokia N8...NOKIA..please provide a fix
12-03-2012 10:20
Consider yourselves lucky, mine broke on Anna and never came back until I found the trick of putting the phone constantly online.
I'm starting to think the problem is triggered by the software not liking the replies given by the mail server and getting itself into a state where it stops working properly.
Any community manager want to clarify if an e-mail fix is coming up and roughly when? I know it breaks the long and dishonourable Nokia tradition of not confirming anything but I really am beginning to regret the purchase of my supposedly flagship phone (N8) and I suppose many others are too.
13-03-2012 23:13
I've managed to get sync working again without a reset...
As I'm not interested in Nokia Mail and I want a direct connection, I did the following to set up the account...
Does it work for other people?
14-03-2012 11:06 - edited 14-03-2012 11:07
This is not the miracle fix you're looking for. It's not working today.
Having reset my phone and tried this, there's very little left that I can think of apart from once again asking Nokia if they could comment on if they have a real fix in the works, or if they think their customers like spending €300 on a phone only to find a major feature is broken and receive nothing but absolute silence from the company or if they're feeling generous copy-pasted instructions on how to reset the telephone which doesn't work.
So, to resume, for any prospective buyers, don't buy a Symbian^3 phone if you expect e-mail to work properly.
14-03-2012 15:09
Hey... GREAT NEWS... Nokia Fixed the problem.. I found an update yesterday on Nokia Suite and Install it. In the description said that it was mainly for some other problem but it said "This update contains a fix for other problems". I installed and voila! Fixed.. My email is syncing normally since yesterday afternoon... Thanks Nokia!!.
14-03-2012 16:05
Picadoo: please let us know if your sync still works after a couple of days, thank you.
There were one similiar (I guess it was the same which you described) update available in Nokia Suite more than a week ago. It removed my email account from my home screen so I guess it made some fixes for the email-app. But it did not fix this problem permanently: sync still works for a while and then it stops.

Other than the usual BMC offerings, this establishment had only one craft beer (their own) and was extremely lame. The only imports available were Heineken and Corona. House music was so loud that we couldn't communicate with anyone at our table. Food was sub-par as well, even by local standards. They are not capable of preparing your food "to your liking" as they claim. Avoid

Not sure what to make of this place. I stayed at the hotel right next to the restaurant and stopped here the first night I was in town but was turned away because they were hosting "a private party." Normally I would have taken this as a sign but I love trying microbrewed beer and this place is "Branson's only microbrewery," so I went back the second night. One thing that stood out to me was the amount of paraphernalia for Budweiser, Miller, etc. in the restaurant. I then noticed no one else was drinking the house beers. Unfortunately the mass produced weak American beers they were drinking were better than the microwbrewed beers I drank. The pilsner tasted like summer ale, the pale ale and stout frankly tasted like they had been watered down. I hate to report this because I am a supporter of craft brewers and have visited over 100 of them across the country and this one is easily in the bottom 5% of the ones I've been to. I ate a steak which I ordered medium rare and was served well done. It was still a good steak and was more than fairly priced. I was also a little disappointed that the staff thought it was okay to air out their grievances with the manager while I was sitting at the bar. Every restaurant has staff drama but it should remain out of earshot from the customers.

Went here on a family trip in June 2011. Not much of a beer scene in Branson but my hopes were high that maybe this place had overcome their infected yeast reputation that others have mentioned. Unfortunately, not so much. They really need a drain at each table to dump their beers which are absolutely awful. The stout was truly undrinkable and the worst I've ever had. This appears to have gone on for years based on the previous reviews and I can't imagine how someone could brew the same crap over and over without making some improvements at some point. On a better note, the food was decent although more of a quantity vs quality establishment and the kids had fun interacting with the woman who was singing.

This is one I wish was better. They have a good concept, but they fall short on execution. The food is averege and the service is OK. I was hopeful when they decided to start brewing, but everything they brew tastes like boulavard wheat. The Pale Ale has no character or aroma and the wheat doesn't taste like much of anything. I want them to be better, but don't think I will be back for a long while. This is the first brew house that I ordered a major brand instead of something they made. Very disappointing....

Went here over Christmas break. Resembled in every way a chain steakhouse minus the flair. We sat at the bar which could seat about 10 people. Three tvs were easily visible, though two were set on home shopping networks. Even though we were here at noon there only 10-12 people dining at the establishment. The bartender was also the owner, server, hostess, manager, and phone answerer. For all the jobs he had to do, I thought the service was great. The food is home-style food for a reasonably price. I had the chicken fried steak, nothing special but still great portion per price. I sampled all five beer while I was there, but unfortunately I practically had them all in one beer. Every beer had the same metallic flavor, probably due to yeast strain, or I hope not, but cleaning technique. This is not a place I will go back to for the beer, but maybe a relaxed tv/grill/bar locale.

I spend a lot of time around Table Rock Lake but usually not around the touristy Branson. My wife and I wanted to go play around there and get some desert. We stopped here because I knew there were some crafted brews. The equipment was crowded behind stuffy bar. Everything was western-style including the 50ish yr old crew hanging around the bar. The Russian fellow behind the bar was so proud of his "6% beer" and he offered me samples of each (wheat, stout, pilsner). They all tasted infected with (possibly) the same yeast. Meanwhile my wife was at a table dealing with the waitress who told her they just had a chocolate cake so we left and has ourselves some good desert elsewhere.

This is a decent little restaurant. It has some quaint country charm. The interior is decorated with antiques and outdoors paraphernalia. With that being said it strikes me sort of like a family restaurant that just happens to have a bar. So of course being without my family I went strait to the bar. The bar had ten beers on tap if you include the three of they make. The beers they had on tap were Bud, Bud Light, Newcastle, Sam Adams Seasonal, Miller, Coors Light and Kronenberg. The three made by them were a stout, pils and wheat but they were out of wheat the day I was there. The bartender was a funny and entertaining guy that was quick to check on you. I wish I would have written down his name. I remember that he was French. Everybody that worked there seemed very friendly. I did sample the stout and the pils and both had an odd taste to them. I will try to sample the wheat the next time I am down there. They sell souvenirs at the front of the establishment. They have glasses, shirt and other items for not that bad of a price. The whole place is reasonable when it comes to price.

Branson's only brewpub is located on 76 on the "Strip". There is ample parking in the private lot, and the place is pretty easy to spot thanks to a gigantic sign on the road.
The interior has the same look and feel as a lot of eateries in Branson. It has a Western/rustic atmosphere, with lots of wood and brick, sporting goods, fishing poles, antiques and a giant bull.
Charlie's only had 3 beers on our visit, and while my expectations were not very high to begin with, I was still a little let down at the lack of selection and quality. None of the beers was above average. They had 2 wheat beers and a Stout and all were served ice cold and were unimpressive.
Service was pretty good on a weekday evening. Our server was somewhat familiar with the beers and was helpful in getting samples when requested.
Charlie's food made up for the beer in some ways. The BBQ was above average, especially by local standards based on spending an entire week there.
Overall my philosophy is "any port in a storm" when it comes to finding craft beer when traveling. However, the fact that I didn't stop back in here again despite being stuck in Branson another 5 days after our visit says it all.

In partnership with the Connecticut Commission on the Arts, Goodspeed Musicals is presenting musical theatre artifacts ranging from set pieces to props and costumes at the entrance of Terminal A, Second Floor in Bradley International Airport, Windsor Locks, Conn.
Celebrating Goodspeed Musicals and 40 years of musical theatre, the exhibit, located in the Connecticut Commission on the Arts showcase, features a bevy of tools used in the creation of a musical, from drills to crates to blueprints as well as props and costumes from a variety of Goodspeed shows including Oh Lady! Lady!! (1963), Annie (1975), Man of La Mancha (2000), Dear World (2000), Great Expectations (2001) and King of Hearts (2002).
On June 18, 1963 the Goodspeed Opera House was reopened, rededicated and began its now 40-year commitment to the preservation and development of musical theatre in America. Since that time Goodspeed has produced more than 183 musicals, 16 of which moved to Broadway and 43 that were world-premiere productions.
The exhibit runs through November 3.

My room 9257 stunk in the bathroom. Sewer smell coming up from drain, could be because the fan was broke. I did not notice the fan did not come on until the last day. Kept door shut did not smell it through out entire cabin. Great cabin steward. Loved the towel animals every night, because we are 15 year old came with us, she still enjoyed coming in to see what would be there each night.
Best food on boat is for sure the dinning room. Had my time dinning and never waited. Favorite part of dinner was always the appetizers. Breakfast at the buffet was great every morning. But the buffet for lunch was not good. All salads was mayo based and seem to taste alike. Not other flavor. Just all around worst buffet of all my cruises. Burgers was good, chili fries was great.
Favorite dessert was bitter n blanc. Deli was good.
First year for daughter to be in club O2. She had a blast and met some good kids to hang out with. All the teens were very respectful.
I was sitting on the balcony talking to my daughter when I thought I saw something it was two huge whales swimming by. What a thrill my husband grabbed out to binoculars and we watched them until you could not see them anymore.
That was the highlight of the trip. I port we had 2 bottle nose dolphins playing outside our balcony.
Husband lost a huge amount of money in the casino. He will not tell me how much exactly.
The shows seemed like all the rest I've seen. Didn't actually watch them just a quick walk by.
The best thing was the family comedy shows they had everyday. Very funny just goes to show you don't have the be nasty to get a laugh.
Cozumel: Went to mr. sanchos. Did all inclusive. Nice time. Only problem was the water toys was not included in the AI. Did not understand that.

Torun - Holy Mary Church, Coll. Maius...

Torun - Holy Mary Church, Coll. Maius, the Court and the remand
The "Holy Trinity" of Torun: the Holy Mary Church, the remand (in the Communist time also used as ordinary prison), and the Collegium Maius (the Humainities faculty of the Copernicus University).
In the court, among others, the murders of priester Jerzy Popieluszko have been judged in the 1980s (while imprisoned in the remand nearby). As the murders were officers of the secret state police (SB), the whole area was tightly isolated by the police.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Farm Bureau Brings the Heat on the Farm Bill
During the Missouri State Fair - the American Farm Bureau Federation, Missouri Farm Bureau, Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt and Representative Vicky Hartzler held a news conference urging Congress to pass a Farm Bill. Farm Bureau Farm Policy Specialist Mary Kay Thatcher joined the farm leaders and lawmakers to promote AFBF's grassroots campaign Bring the Heat - which focuses on the farm bill, ag labor reform and passage of waterways improvement legislation. Senator Blunt says farmers and ranchers work hard every day to help feed the nation and the world - and he will continue fighting to ensure farmers and ranchers receive the economic certainty they need in order to succeed.
Thatcher says farmers and ranchers are hot around the collar at Congress for putting politics before progress on issues like the farm bill - which is why Farm Bureau members across the U.S. are bringing the heat to their Congressional members during the August recess - letting them know a farm bill must be signed into law this fall. She asks all farmers and ranchers to tell their Congressmen and women to move quickly to pass a farm bill before the 2008 law expires at the end of September.

Again: Newsletter subscription form
8 May 2009 at 10:19pm
I searched the forum, but could not find a precise answer to enabling the newsletter subscription form.
I have enabled User Defined Forms module. but the question I cannot find answer to is:
What would be the correct action that is called by form? Must I define that action separately?
The desired result would be that user fills the form and presses "Subscribe" button. User is then added to the subscribers list. As I understand, by default the User Defined form submission is only emailed to the specified address.
So I would be extremely thankful if either:
1. Someone pointed me to the right direction regarding the form action
2. Someone pointed me to precise instructions regarding integrating the newsletter subscription - the instructions on otherwise excellent SS documentation server are less than complete regarding that matter.
3. At least could someone point me to the site where I can see a working newsletter module in action (I don't mean the tiny form at the bottom of silverstripe.org).
Thank you in advance

I think you need to add a new page of type "Subscribe Form". People who submit this form will then be added to the mailing list you've set up for the newsletter. You may want to make a new group for newsletter subscribers. To do this go to Security, create a new group, then go back to Newsletter, click the list name and set Mailing list group to the group you just created. All future subscribers will be added to this list.
This is what I've figured out on my own.. could be wrong...

the problem I'm having with this is that a blank record is being added to the mailing list after subscription to the newsletter.
Any one got any ideas??

Hey BruceG, I have exactly the same problem with the newsletter module, it all seems to work fine, other than entries are not populating the DB, getting very frustrating, I'm sure I'm missing something fairly straight forward just no idea what! Please update this thread if you get anywhere with this.

I have the same problem. Everything is going fine besides that if one fills out the subscribe page an empty record is inserted in the database. I have read some other posts here and I think the problem was already mentioned in January 2009.

Yeah, same behavior here. Sadly, this renders the module unusable.
I filed a bug for this, maybe somebody likes to add something to it? Maybe post your SilverStripe configuration?

Hey so I made a new page type for subscription following this http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=recipes:forms, and it checks if there's already a user registered with that email addy. Not the most elegant solution, but it gets the module working. Note that it doesn't check if the user is a member of the newsletter group, just if they're in the members table.
Have attached file, will take a look at the code for the module's subscription form when I get some time.
To get it working:
1. Copy the attached file to /mysite/code/ folder.
2. Set the $defaultGroupID on line 9 to whatever your newsletter group is.
2. In backend create a new page of type 'Registration Form'.
3. Save and Publish to your site.
4. You'll have to create the success and failure pages, currently uses two different failure pages. Success page is on line 57, failure pages on line 47 & 62. Just update the strings with whatever your pages are.
And that's it, on the frontend you'll see a new register page. Note that the fields are in the php file, and this file is set up to work with recaptcha for spam protection. Shouldn't be hard to change if you want to use mollom or something. Feel free to improve it!

The man charged as the serial killer who shot and killed three Brooklyn shopkeepers went out dancing after allegedly murdering the last victim, according to the New York Post.
Salvatore Perrone, 64, of Staten Island went out less than two hours after allegedly shooting shopkeeper 78-year-old Rahmatollah Vahidipour in his Flatbush clothing store.
A friend of the suspect's girlfriend told the Post, "We dance every Friday night. On Friday, he came to the club at 9:00 p.m.," the friend said as he recalled the arrival of Perrone with his girlfriend.
Police arrested and charged Perrone on Wednesday with the killings of three Middle Eastern store owners.
Perrone began his murder spree in July when 65-year-old Mohamed Gebeli was found dead in his Bay Ridge clothing shop. A month later, 59-year-old Isaac Kadare was found shot to death in his 99-cent store in Bensonhurst.
All three victims were shot with the same .22-caliber weapon, according to police.
Perrone, who was given the name "John Doe Duffel Bag," because he was seen on surveillance video carrying a large bag near the scene of last Friday's murder was apprehended by police after a Bay Ridge pharmacy employee recognized him as a regular.
Police say the video footage was a big break in the case for investigators.
Perrone confessed to the murders only after talking to someone he thought was a CIA agent, according to law-enforcement officials.
Police say they have not cited a motive but all three victims were Middle Eastern, and believe the shootings were racially motivated.
Authorities say the suspect may have been planning another murder.
"We know that he went to other locations and asked questions that indicated -- that he very well planned to come back," said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Police say the sawed-off .22-caliber rifle with a flashlight taped to it was found in his duffel bag at his girlfriend, Natasha Charova's apartment in the Midwood section. Police say he stayed with Charova when he wasn't at his house in Sunnyside, Staten Island.

August 1, 2013 — Dr. Rachel Greenstadt, assistant professor of computer science and principle investigator of Drexel University's Privacy, Security and Automation Laboratory (PSAL), was quoted in The Chronicle of Higher Education, July 29, 2013, about adversarial stylometry and how PSAL's Anonymouth tool can assist authors wishing to remain anonymous.
The article explains how a professor at Duquesne University used stylometry, authorship recognition based on linguistic style, to assist in the discovery that J.K. Rowling wrote a new novel under a pseudonym.

News: "If I Was To Have A Sextape Or Pics Leak, I'd Promote It"
Monday, Mar 21, 2011 11:20AM
Sensual crooner Trey Songz has humorously shared his thoughts on the unauthorized leak of nude photos and sex tapes, as well as explained why he doesn't insult fellow artists who have been subjected to the releases as of late.
The Virginia-bred singer ignited the situation by speaking on the popular topic of explicit celebrity material leaking.
"If I was to have a sextape or even pics "leak" I'd promote it like a album lmaoooooo," he tweeted Sunday (March 20) night. (Trey Songz's Twitter)
Shortly after the tweet, Songz addressed fans who accused him of taking shots at R&B star Chris Brown.
"And for you weirdos sayin I'm sneak dissin, if I'm dissin any1 Ima do that straight up. So kill that, Back to ur regularly scheduled lives," he tweeted.
"To teambreezy or whoever else. I bn dwn wit CB since day1 & nothings changed. As long as he knw that truly nothing else matters. Luv" (Trey Songz's Twitter)
After his pictures leaked online earlier this month, Brown addressed the nude shots last week.
On-air personality Big Boy had Chris Brown turning red during his visit to Power 106's "Big Boy's Neighborhood," where he addressed his naked picturecontroversy. When confronted with questions about the origins of the leakedimage, the blond singer let his laughter do most of the talking. "I have nothing to say," said a bashful Breezy, giggling while clarifying who the pic was for. "Definitely a girl, definitely a girl. It was an out-the-shower shot. [...] I'm comfortable with my body, I don't care about all of that." He explained how he first found out that the revealing shot had hit the net. "I was just on my video game, playing a video game, and I was looking at Twitter and was like yeah!" he continued. (Rap-Up)
Last week reports claimed there is a sex tape featuring R&B sensation Usher circulating the Internet.
TMZ was approached several days ago by someone claiming to have the sex tape. The person sent us a short video and two photos. We'll keep this PG-13 and just say ... the people in the video are both givers. The video and photos are clear -- it's Usher and Tameka. Sources close to Usher -- without specifically admitting the existence of a sex tape -- tell us they believe this video could have been among the things Usher had stolen out of his car back in December 2009. Usher reported more than $1,000,000 worth of jewelry and electronics taken -- including two laptop computers. A rep for Usher had no comment. (TMZ)

These days, tattoo artists for athletes have started to pay more attention to their rights. And those worries aren't necessarily frivolous, says Tim Bradley, an intellectual property attorney. He says copyright law is actually very friendly to the artist, and that protections kick in once you've shown a "modicum of creativity" in your design and you've put it on a "tangible medium."

The "winsome, nostalgic and tuneful" 1953 musical, which made stars of Julie Andrews (on stage) and Twiggy (on screen), subsequently became a perennial favorite of school and comunity theaters all over the English-speaking world. "He would say that The Boy Friend always held a place in his heart because it gave him the economic means never to work again."

How A Latin Scholar Became A Public Intellectual, TV Star And (Actual) Poster Girl
Once, Mary Beard was just an unusually prolific Oxbridge don.

(Sometimes she even reforms them.)
Sam Hunter, 91, Curator, Art Critic, Founder of Rose Museum
"Over six decades, Sam Hunter could usually be found at the center of some of the most exciting times for art in New York and beyond. He was an art historian (an authority on 20th-century art), a museum director, a curator, an art critic and an art adviser to museums, corporations and private collectors" – not to mention author or co-author of some 50 books.
So Zaha Hadid Is Suing The Venerable New York Review of Books. Who Wins Here?
Hadid may not withdraw her suit since, Reuters says, she sought damages and the closing of the venerable NYRB. Why did she ever file it? The retraction should not have been hard to get; a suit simply extends the damage to her reputation, which, in spite of Filler's serious error, was principally done by her own flippancy, abetted by the Internet's facility in sating our lust for "how the mighty have fallen" stories.
Nerding Out With David Mitchell
"One of the pleasures of hanging out with Mitchell is that he is, by self-identification, many kinds of nerd – a Star Trek nerd, a Doctor Who nerd, a map nerd, a taxonomy nerd, a tea nerd, a word nerd, and, for good measure, what you might call a nerd nerd: an enthusiast of nerdery of all kinds. At one point in our conversation, he speaks admiringly of sheep nerds."

Poet Simin Behbahani, 87, The "Lioness Of Iran"
A two-time Nobel Prize nominee and one of the country's most revered writers, "she was a fierce feminist who subverted the form of Iran's traditional ghazals, love poems traditionally written by male admirers to women. Behbahani flipped the ghazals and wrote hers to men. She used them to write about a mother's anguish over the loss of her son in the Iran-Iraq war and the horrors of stoning women to death."
The Other Wagner Great-Granddaughter
Nike Wagner, Wieland's daughter, pretty much knew that she'd never lead the Bayreuth Festival once her uncle Wolfgang took over. (The job went to his daughters, Eva and Katharina; Eva is now retiring.) So she's made her own way as a writer (including a predictably dirt-filled family tell-all) and dramaturg, and now she's directing the world's top Beethoven festival.
Fluttering Passion: Vladimir Nabokov, Lifelong Lepidopterist
"The pleasures and rewards of literary inspiration are nothing beside the rapture of discovering a new organ under the microscope or an undescribed species on a mountainside in Iran or Peru. It is not improbable that had there been no revolution in Russia, I would have devoted myself entirely to lepidopterology and never written any novels at all."
Margaret Atwood Would Totally Fit In At Comic-Con
"I designed some costume events for these doctors … The male doctor was a kidney surgeon, and he wanted the magic power to immediately implant kidneys in people, so his alter ego was named Kidney Boy, and the female doctor was Dr. Snit, and she had pain issues. And I gave them some little flying kidney helpers, because you have to have helpers. And Dr. Snit got a magic wand with a little halo of Tylenols."
The Day I Broke Into James Baldwin's House On The French Riviera
"I had been told that it was derelict and vacant; that after Baldwin's death in 1987 there had been legal disputes about who in fact owned the eighteenth-century Provençal building (Baldwin thought he did). The rusty padlock on the austere gates and the broken buzzer confirmed that the house was unoccupied. I glanced furtively around to check that no one was watching and prepared to scale the wall."

What Daniel Radcliffe Really Hates About Press Interviews
"Frankly, since the age of 20, all of the interviews I've done have involved people asking about my impending failure [after all the early success], and how I felt about the possibility of that. … Which is hard to deal with, because a lot of us already have those fears anyway: what if this doesn't last for ever?; what if I don't end up working in 10 years? So for other people to then be asking you about those things all the time is like having your innermost fears confirmed by somebody outside of yourself."
The Great Soprano Licia Albanese Is Dead At 105
Why Andy Goldsworthy Is Working In Town Instead Of 'In Nature'
Paulo Coelho Is King Of The Internet
"Years before other novelists joined Twitter and Facebook, Mr. Coelho was reaching out to fans on MySpace and, later, putting short videos on YouTube. He has accounts on Instagram, Tumblr, Vimeo, Google+ and Pinterest." On Twitter and Facebook, he has more followers than Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Danielle Steel and John Grisham combined.
"Who The Hell Wants To Be Happy All The Time?" Asks Christopher Plummer
Jeff Bridges And The Zen Of An Almond Croissant
"I love taste, and I love the immediate gratification of flavor and that satisfying swallow you feel all over. But I look at my body and I should say, 'Is that really the most healthy thing for me?' Wouldn't it be great if I stopped eating this and worked out every day? Imperfection and perfection go so hand in hand, and our dark and our light are so intertwined, that by trying to push the darkness or the so-called negative aspects of our life to the side … we are preventing ourselves from the fullness of life."

So why can't this sort of information be made available via the Internet, so that everyone can learn how the City "works" without having to spend $2,500?
Municipal finance matters, and the legal framework of our City, should be available to all--at no cost.
on Jun 17, 2013 at 9:54 am
Q: Why would any civic minded citizen pay $2,500 to participate in a program to learn about leadership in Palo Alto?
A: There is a cost/benefit relationship.
Somehow, becoming a leader allows the individual to recoup the $2,500. Leadership Palo Alto is designed to financially benefit the leaders, not the public. Architects, bankers, lawyers, realtors, hoteliers and politicians are all serving their own best interest.
What ever happened to public service?
on Jun 17, 2013 at 10:36 am
Right - Leadership Palo Alto is a real threat to our community - trying to fill the void in civic, unpaid positions in the city government - how dare they!

He has become defined by a three-word phrase in a region that positively adores him -- Manny Being Manny. What exactly is Manny being Manny? It can mean just about anything - good, bad or in between -- in regards to the left fielder's carefree and flaky nature. But more than anything, Manny being Manny is Manny crushing the baseball. Ramirez is one of the most gifted and accomplished right-handed hitters the game has ever seen.
Lesser known than that, however, is that Ramirez, despite his loosey-goosey nature, is a batting cage rat. To beat Ramirez to Fenway for a night game, you have to get there by late morning. Because there Ramirez already is on a lot of days, working on his swing in solitude, lifting weights or scouring through video.
With the World Series approaching, MLB.com explores the people behind the numbers on the AL champion Red Sox.
• C: J. Varitek
Because Ramirez doesn't speak to the media all that much, he is sometimes perceived as surly in national circles. That couldn't be further from the truth. Not many minutes go by when Ramirez doesn't have a smile on his face. He keeps his teammates loose by reminding everyone that it is just baseball everyone is playing, and it's not a matter of life and death. When the Red Sox trailed the Indians, 3-1, in the American League Championship Series, Ramirez had an impromptu session over at his locker where he uttered the following:
"We're confident every day," said Ramirez. "It doesn't matter how things go for you. We're not going to give up. We're just going to go and play the game, like I've said, and move on. If it doesn't happen, so who cares? There's always next year. It's not like the end of the world or something. Why should we panic?"
Ramirez never did panic. He just kept hitting, and the Red Sox did come back from 3-1.
Though Ramirez was born in the Dominican, he spent much of his childhood in New York City, becoming a high school baseball star at Washington Heights. Other lesser known facts about Ramirez: He has MBM (short for Manny being Manny) stitched on to most of his clothing; He is an avid collector of antique cars; He loves reggae music.

Dolly, the fourth named storm of the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to make landfall in Mexico.
Tuesday, Kansas City Sly James joined 17 other mayors in telling the story of youth violence in the nation's communities to President Obama and Attorney General Holder.
Obama asked James to begin the dialogue with Kansas City's data, experiences and programs.
"I was honored to be a part of this initial exchange of ideas," James said. "I'm looking forward to future conversations and learning about successful, data-driven programs that reduce violence in other cities. Collaboration and information sharing will help us get closer to where we want to be, a peaceful, safe community. Today's visit with President Obama, Attorney General Holder, and my fellow mayors is a great start, and I am confident the end result will help make Kansas City best."
In a press release from the White House, Obama pledged his administration's support to the mayors and vowed to, "continue doing everything in his power to combat gun violence through executive action and to press Congress to pass common-sense reforms like expanding the background check system and cracking down on gun trafficking."
Other mayors in attendance at the White House meeting were:
Tuesday evening, James will also attend a White House reception in honor of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.
