"I think the one thing you notice right off at VEGAS.com is how talented people are here. I remember when I started here thinking 'How did they find all these unbelievable people?' -- and also thinking 'Did I get in over my head?' But after you work here a while you realize that whatever talent you came in with improves dramatically because everyone around you is working together and sharing their talent with you.

It is no wonder, given its moderately good color rendering and various applications, that mercury vapor lamps come in a wide range of wattages, from 100w or less to 1,000w. Mercury vapor lamps typically come in medium screw base or mogul screw base sizes, unless they are short arc lamps, which require an M4 base or another type of base.
That is about all you need to know for familiarizing yourself with mercury vapor lamps. Of course we could've gotten far more technical, and if you want to know more, or know something in greater detail I would be happy to field your questions. Also, call 1-877-622-0897 if any other issues that may crop up. If you are ready to start looking for your own mercury vapor lamp then check out what we have to offer, you won't be disappointed.

We're starting to come to the close of Oscar nominations day, and we don't know about you, but we're regretting our decision to give up drinking for January; it's a day full of hysteria, overreaction, and inexplicable anger, and it's pretty tiring, especially for those who have to get up at 4.30 in the morning to cover it (luckily, not ourselves).
But now the dust is settling, and we can start to look at the nominations with a slightly clearer head, and work out what it all means for the six weeks or so left of the awards season. And the good news is that what's been the most interesting Oscar time in a few years looks set to continue in the coming weeks. Below, we've picked out five things that today's nominations have taught us; you can also read our snubs and surprises piece from earlier today, and keep your eyes peeled for more Oscar coverage between now and February 24th.
Things could, of course, change over the next few weeks, but despite picking up Best Picture nominations, three of the hopefuls seemed to take a fairly major knock today. Famously, the last time a film won Best Picture without at least a nomination for Best Director was "Driving Miss Daisy" in 1989, which means that, by missing out in the latter category, "Zero Dark Thirty," "Argo" and "Les Miserables" all have an uphill battle to fight. It may be that the snub energizes their supporters (some have suggested that issues with voting may have caused the films to miss out, though it's based on no real evidence), but it puts them on the outs, particularly as "Zero Dark Thirty" also missed out in other categories, though "Argo" and "Les Miserables" did well elsewhere.
In contrast, "Lincoln" has twelve nominations, showing strength across the board as many expected it would, while "Life Of Pi" exceeded expectations in a major way (including nominations for Best Song, both sound categories and Production Design), and "Silver Linings Playbook" also showed strength with an editing nomination in addition its strong share of four acting nods. In all three cases, it shows that these movies have widespread support (even if 'Pi' missed out on acting nominations, that wasn't a problem with "Slumdog Millionaire" a few years back). "Lincoln" is probably the front-runner, but it feels like a three-horse race to us at this stage for Best Picture.
Of the acting races, it definitely feels like it was Best Actress that got the biggest shake-up. Common wisdom was that Jessica Chastain was the front-runner, with Jennifer Lawrence not far behind, and that Riva and Wallis were on the bubble in terms of nomination. But with Riva now inside the final five, we think she could actually make a play for the win. Like we said, with "Zero Dark Thirty" looking weaker, Chastain may not be as far ahead as was generally thought, and while "Silver Linings Playbook" is strong across the acting categories, Lawrence is still so young that she may not be seen as having paid her dues, especially against someone like Riva. She is, of course, the oldest nominee ever in the lead actress category, and what's more, she celebrates her 86th birthday on the day of the Oscar ceremony, on February 24th. How could the Academy turn down a narrative like that, particularly with five nominations for "Amour" to encourage those who haven't yet seen the film to check it out?
Robert | January 15, 2013 8:47 AM
It's Argo for Best Picture and Haneke for Best Director. You heard this here.
F.P. | January 14, 2013 5:50 PM
And yet for as many praiseworthy films as there may be this year, it appears as though the safest choice of them all will win because their golden boy didn't get the Best Director nomination he was 'owed.' And before anyone says, the Golden Globes are just there to give awards to boldfaced names, presumed front-runner LINCOLN won nothing beyond Hollywood's regular tribute to D.Day-Lewis, and ARGO also won the Critics Choice Awards' Best Picture as well. And who would accept that Best Picture win for ARGO? George Clooney. Mark ARGO in your bracket now - Picture, Supporting Actor (Arkin, as the producer all in Hollywood think they are), Editing (Goldenberg), Score (Desplat), and if you want to be bold, Terrio over Kushner in Adapted Screenplay. I'd count 4 or 5 wins for ARGO.
nightgoat72 | January 12, 2013 11:20 PM
I won't bitch and moan about another dull batch of Oscar nominees (which I definitely think this is, for the most part), but one thing I simply cannot wrap my head around: how on earth did The Master not get nominated for cinematography? I mean, I understand not nominating it for picture and director (no matter how much I disagree), but nothing for cinematography? That jaw-droppingly gorgeous, 70mm cinematography? That just seems objectively wrong.
Alex | January 12, 2013 8:45 PM
Great piece.
Someperson | January 12, 2013 3:52 PM
Hey now, I really liked The Green Mile.
Tobi | January 12, 2013 12:32 PM
Thank you, thank you so much for that last paragraph. It's starting to become counter-productive with all the pissing and moaning; I was up for the nominations and of course that's all everyone did, including myself. But it's been two days now, let it go and let's see who is going to win with what we have now. The nominations are what they are. The Best Actress and Supporting Actor categories are going to be very interesting for sure, since you have a three-way and really, a five-way race, respectively in each category. Looking forward to seeing how that is going to be playing out.
Ryan | January 11, 2013 2:47 PM
You make a compelling case against those of us who complain and dismiss; that indeed this year is somehow different than in past years - more edgy and less safe. But ultimately history will prove the complainers are correct. Amour IS Haneke's safest film; it's almost irrelevant that it's directed by the guy that did Funny Games because it's a film that's right in the wheelhouse of Academy members. Ditto on movies like Life of Pi (big and beautiful) Les Miserables (epic and dramatic), and even Django Unchained (it seems like QT has entered his respected statesman faze where every one of his films, even before they're even shot, have Oscar buzz - see Scorsese and Eastwood ten years ago). Before I even saw films like Argo, Lincoln, and Silver Linings Playbook they felt like Oscar-y movies. So the complaints come when the Academy underlines what we thought six months ago. And I don't buy this nonsense that Beasts of the Southern Wild is somehow edgy or shocking - Oscar talk has been near fever pitch since before it came out last summer. Now if you want to go edgy and unpredictable, how about nominated the other Sundance hit, Middle of Nowhere. Now THAT would've been edgy.
Ultimately, it appears that Lincoln will sweep, something we all predicted over a year ago. This is exactly what happened last year when after all the hoopla surrounding Viola Davis and the supposed "race" for best actress, Meryl Streep ended up getting the award we all knew she would get. Ditto on the year before, when the front runner The King's Speech was supposedly losing ground to A Social Network only to be the ultimate winner come Oscar night. At the end of the day, what we initially think will happen usually ends up happening. I see no difference this year.
AE | January 11, 2013 11:11 AM
Yeah, I've been bitching about the end of the movies all year but the Best picture list is pretty great and there are still notable omissions. Overall I think the Academy have been discerning, and rewarded based on excellence of craft. At first glance the Best Director list may appear random, but if you consider that Ang Lee kept us interested in a boat, a tiger and a boy for an hour and a half, and Ben Zeitlin conjured the strange, mystical world of BOTSW with next to nothing, then the choices begin to make sense, and I'm not a big fan of either of those films overall. Now if Emmanuelle Riva and/or Haneke win one of the majors, that would be something.
Rafael | January 11, 2013 7:19 AM
Robert De Niro WAS nominated for the SAG's.
^_^ | January 11, 2013 3:25 AM
im just thinking why SKYFALL was not nominated for the BES PICTURE even it has A 5 NOMINATIONS?????? and why MAGGIE SMITH was not nominated for the BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS for THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL and LEONARDO DI CAPRIO for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR for DJANGO UNCHAINED..... this is the second time where LEONARDO was SNOB BY THE ACADEMY ...and WHY RISE OF THE GUARDIANS was NOT NOMINATED FOR THE BEST ANIMATED FILM..??? IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN BRAVE AND PIRATES!!!! ???
Jake | January 10, 2013 8:22 PM
Oh, also, 1999's not a great year to say they were weak compared to just how good film was that year. Cider House Rules might be schmaltzy and not as strong as some other possibles, but The Green Mile is an excellent film, and far outside of the Academy's wheelhouse. I'd go with 2007, a year that featured movies like Zodiac, The Assassination of Jesse James, Eastern Promises, & The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and we got Juno as a Best Picture nominee instead.
Jake | January 10, 2013 8:18 PM
JLaw has been the frontrunner for Best Actress for a long time, and SLP's much stronger showing vs ZDT, her already accomplished track record & impeccable performance in Winter's Bone, it being a huge year for her by helping to cement The Hunger Games franchise, and just the type of performance it is suggests she could take it in a cake walk. She's got the china-smashing Oscar clip for goodness' sake, Chastain's is an internalized performance, and those don't play for the win with AMPAS.
rtyhghh | January 10, 2013 6:10 PM
$500,000 constitutes a "micro-budget" according to whose definition? And word is that Beasts may have cost closer to 1 million. That term is usually reserved for under $100K. Not that it isn't a shocking pick, but let's not exaggerate
Edward | January 10, 2013 6:08 PM
"You Really Have To Stop Saying That The Academy Are Safe And Boring" Well said. The opposite is a dumb knee jerk response.
cirkusfolk | January 10, 2013 4:24 PM
I like your analysis of the Best Supporting Actor category. I'm fine with all those actors getting nomed, but it is definately a tough one to call. Arkin was good in Argo but much better in Little Miss Sunshine for which he won. Same for Waltz and Inglourious Basterds. You are also right about there may being a reluctance to honor Tommy Lee if Daniel Day takes the lead statue and Field possibly one as well. I can honestly say I think they might give it to Hoffman since the other two Master players don't really have a shot, but I'm personally hoping DeNiro will win. Like you said, it's his best performance in years that offered some very crappy ones, so it very well be his last shot at the gold in his lifetim, especially considering he hasn't been nomed in 20 years.
DG | January 10, 2013 3:47 PM
Maybe the academy wasn't playing it safe with the nominations this year (and good on them) but I have a gut feeling they will with the wins. Icould be totally wrong but I think Lincoln will probably sweep. I hope Jenifer Lawerence wins she is amazing but Riva would be great too. So glad Django didn't get too much attention it was easily QTs worst movie in a decade. Also anyone else think The Master should have gotten a mom for editing? The editing and pacing in that was like no movie I've ever seen before.
StephenM | January 10, 2013 3:45 PM
I kinda think nominating The Tree of Life last year was edgier than Moneyball . . .
Duddi | January 10, 2013 3:32 PM
Come on, dude !!! Moneyball was more than a crowd-pleaser for sure... That was one of the best sport movies ever made... too bad you think of it as a crowd-pleaser..
Melissa | January 10, 2013 3:12 PM
If Jennifer Lawrence is too young to have "paid her dues", what does that say about Quvenzhane Wallis?? Wallis' nomination was a total stunt.
Ted | January 10, 2013 3:06 PM
I'm pulling for Riva. Not just because she gave an astounding performance in Amour, but c'mon she's 85 years old and an icon of French cinema (her performances in Hiroshima mon amour and Leon Morin were incredible also). Plus, Jessica Chastain & Jennifer Lawrence are going to have plenty of opportunities to win again.
Terry | January 10, 2013 2:56 PM
McConaughey gave two of the most electrifying performances of the year in what might be the two riskiest roles any actor took on. Really gutted to see him get snubbed. I realize one film was an ultra-voilent, NC-17 indie that no one saw, and the other was about male strippers, but still...
MAL | January 10, 2013 2:42 PM
Great article and balanced perspective. Of course, my favourite -- Moonrise Kingdom -- should have been in the race. Silver Linings Playbook... not so much.

Nov. 20, 1968 - Explosion At Farmington Mine Kills 78
By Heath Harrison
May 12, 2013
In the early hours of Nov. 20, 1968, a gas and dust explosion took place at the Consol No. 9 Mine near Farmington and Mannington in Marion County.
99 workers were inside the mine when the blast, which could be felt 12 miles away, occurred. Over the next few hours, 21 of the miners were able to escape to safety, but 78 remained trapped inside.
Flames from the fire reached as high as 150 feet into the air at the site and hampered any efforts at a rescue as they continued to burn for a week.
After nine days, rescuers determined, by using air samples from boreholes, that the air within the mine could not support life. The mine was ordered sealed in order to starve the fire.
The exact cause of the blast was never identified. However, federal investigators believed the blast was a result of inadequate ventilation. Improper control of explosive methane gas and coal dust was also cited as possible contributor to the disaster.
The mine was unsealed a year later, and crews attempted to recover the miners' bodies. The effort continued for 10 years and 59 of the trapped bodies were found. Nine years later, in 1978, the mine was again ordered sealed, after crews determined there was no chance of recovering the remaining 19 bodies.
The disaster was a catalyst in the push for tougher safety laws for mining. U.S. Rep. Ken Hechler, D-W.Va., was widely credited for his leadership following the blast and was a key player in getting the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 passed. Hechler personally paid for the cost for many of the Farmington widows to come to Washington to make their case for the act's passage.
The 1969 act strengthened safety standards and established the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to administer and enforce mine safety standards. The legislation was updated and strengthened with the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.
This week's video features 1983 package from WCHS which marked 15th anniversary of the disaster, featuring some of the surviving family members and file footage of the explosion.

Blog rolling with mongoDB, express and Node.js
In this article I hope to take you through the steps required to get a fully-functional (albeit feature-light) persistent blogging system running on top of node.
The technology stack that we'll be using will be node + express + mongoDB all of which are exciting, fast and highly scalable. You'll also get to use haml-js and sass.js for driving the templated views and styling!
This article will be fairly in-depth so you may want to get yourself a rather large mug of whatever beverage you prefer before you settle down :)
Getting Started / Pre-Requisites
Before we start with the code it's important to make sure you have git installed, an up-to-date installation of node and a running mongodb server on your development environment.
Whilst not a mandatory requirement I will be using git to pull down code from various location. Sadly the installation, configuration and setup of git is way beyond the scope of this article and I recommend reading up on that before embarking on this article if you're not familiar with git!
Installation is as simple as downloading the installer from here. For this tutorial I've been using v1.2.2 on MacOSX but any recent version should work. Once installed you can just execute 'mongod' to have a local instance up and running.
I'll assume that you already have an installed version of node.js (why else would you be looking at a how-to?! ;) ) However as node is subject to a reasonably high rate of change for the purposes of this article everything has been written to run against the 'v0.1.28' tag
Getting hold of express
To create our 'blog' we'll work with the default express repository locally, to do this please perform the following commands in your console:
git clone git://github.com/visionmedia/express.git
cd express
git checkout 347c8847b0a8d9322c5555fa809b6213f49cd187 -b our_blog_branch
git submodule init
git submodule update
The checkout is just to make sure we get a version of express that works with the previously mentioned tag of node! Before we go any further lets just test that your node installation is fully working. To do this execute the following command inside the express folder:
node examples/chat/app.js
If everything is going well then you should in your console see the following:
Express started at http://localhost:3000/ in development mode
If you now browse to localhost:3000 with your web browser you will find a fully working long-polling / AJAX example chat server, exciting n'est pas?
If you now kill the running node process that we started a moment ago we can begin with the process of writing our blog, let the good times (blog)roll.
Defining our application
We're going to build a very simple blogging application (perhaps we'll build on this in a future article?). It is going to support the reading of blog articles, posting of blog articles and commenting on them. There will be no security, authentication or authorisation. Hopefully this will demonstrate enough of the technology stack to let you move forward quickly.
The data types
Because we're dealing with a document orientated database rather than a relational database we don't need to worry about what 'tables' we will need to persist this data to the database or the relationships between records within those tables. In fact we only have 1 datatype in the application at all, the article:
_id: 0,
title: '',
body: '',
comments: [{
person: '',
comment: '',
created_at: new Date()
created_at: new Date()
There are plenty of other document configurations we could've gone for but this will provide us with a good foundation (for example there's no notion of article authors.). Also the
created_at field could most probably be omitted as the default 'Primary Key factory' that the mongo-db-native client that we're using generates time-based object-ids, but for simplicity we'll go with a 'proper' date.
It should be noted that one oft-reported issue with mongoDB is the size of the data on the disk. As we're dealing with a document orientated database each and every record stores all the field-names with the data so there is no re-use. This means that it can often be more space-efficient to have properties such as 't', or 'b' rather than 'title' or 'body', however for fear of confusion I would avoid this unless truly required!
The operations
There is a discrete set of operations (or things we want to achieve) that fall within the scope of this article, they are (in the order that we will tackle them):
- Create a new article.
- Show the list of all the articles.
- Show an individual article and its comments.
- Comment on an article
Now that we know what we're trying to achieve lets try and achieve that goal in a step-by-step fashion.
From small acorns do giant oak trees grow
Well alright, fairly small blogging apps can grow!
In express a 'normal' application consists of a call to
configure, followed by a series of method calls that declare
routes and what happens to requests that match the route followed by a call to
Thus one of the simplest express applications could be written as follows:
set('root', __dirname);
get('/', function(){
this.halt(200, "Hello World!");
The above code declares a single
route that operates on
GET requests to the address
/ from the browser and will just return a simple (non-HTML) text string and a response code of 200 to the client.
Convention seems to be to place this code into a file named
app.js at the root of your express folder. If you do this and then execute it:
node app.js
When you browse to localhost:3000 you should see that old favourite 'Hello World!'. This file is the starting point of the blogging application and we shall build on it now :)
A chapter in which we build on our humble beginnings
Now that we have a fully working web server we should probably look at doing something with it. In this section we will learn how to use Haml to render our data and create forms to post the data back to the server, initially we will store this in memory.
The layout of express applications is fairly familiar and is usually of the form:
express /* The cloned express folder */
|-- app.js /* The application code itself */
|-- lib /* Third party dependencies */
|-- public /* Publicly accessible resources */
| |-- images
| `-- javascript
`-- views /* The templates for the 'views' */
Please take a moment to create the folders that you require, these will need creating:
mkdir public
mkdir public/javascript
mkdir public/images
mkdir views
Of providers and data
Because the intention of this article is to show how one might use a persistent approach in node.js we shall start with an abstraction: provider. These 'providers' are going to responsible for returning and updating the data. Initially we'll create a dummy in-memory version just to bootstrap us up and running, but then we'll move over to using a real persistence layer without changing the calling code.
// articleprovider-memory.js
var articleCounter = 1;
ArticleProvider = function(){};
ArticleProvider.prototype.dummyData = [];
ArticleProvider.prototype.findAll = function() {
var promise = new process.Promise();
promise.emitSuccess( this.dummyData );
return promise;
ArticleProvider.prototype.findById = function(id) {
var promise = new process.Promise(),
result = null;
for(var i =0;i<this.dummyData.length;i++) {
if( this.dummyData[i]._id == id ) {
result = this.dummyData[i];
promise.emitSuccess( result );
return promise;
ArticleProvider.prototype.save = function(articles) {
var promise = new process.Promise(),
article = null;
if( typeof(articles.length)=="undefined")
articles = [articles];
for( var i =0;i< articles.length;i++ ) {
article = articles[i];
article._id = articleCounter++;
article.created_at = new Date();
if( article.comments === undefined )
article.comments = [];
for(var j =0;j< article.comments.length; j++) {
article.comments[j].created_at = new Date();
this.dummyData[this.dummyData.length]= article;
return promise;
/* Lets bootstrap with dummy data */
new ArticleProvider().save([
{title: 'Post one', body: 'Body one', comments:[{author:'Bob', comment:'I love it'}, {author:'Dave', comment:'This is rubbish!'}]},
{title: 'Post two', body: 'Body two'},
{title: 'Post three', body: 'Body three'}
exports.ArticleProvider = ArticleProvider;
If the above code is saved to a file named
articleprovider-memory.js in the same folder as the
app.js we created earlier and
app.js is modified to look as follows:
var ArticleProvider = require('./articleprovider-memory').ArticleProvider;
set('root', __dirname);
function getArticleProvider() {
return new ArticleProvider();
get('/', function(){
var self = this;
getArticleProvider().findAll().addCallback(function (articles) {
self.halt( 200, require('sys').inspect(articles) );
If the app is re-run and you browse to localhost:3000 you will see the object structure of 3 blog posts that the memory provider starts off with, magic!
A view to a kill
Now we have a way of reading and storing data (patience, memory is only the beginning!) we'll want a way of displaying and creating the data properly. Initially we'll start by just providing an index view of all the blog articles. To do this create the following two files in your views sub-directory (be very careful about the indentation, that first lines should be up against the left-hand margin!):
-# views/layout.haml.html
%title = title
#wrapper = body
-# views/blogs_index.haml.html
%h1 = title
:each article in articles
%div.created_at = article.created_at
%div.title = article.title
%div.body = article.body
Next change your
get('/') routing rule in your
app.js to be as follows:
get('/', function(){
var self = this;
getArticleProvider().findAll().addCallback(function(docs) {
self.render('blogs_index.haml.html', {
locals: {
title: 'Blog',
articles: docs
Now you should be able to restart the server and browser to localhost:3000. Et voila! We'll not win any design awards, but you should now see a list of 3 very 'functional' blog postings (don't worry we'll come back to the style in a moment).
There are two important things to note that we've just done;
The first is the change to our application's routing rules. What we've done is say that for any browser requests that come in to the route ('/') we should ask the data provider for all the articles it knows about (a future improvement might be 'the most recent 10 posts etc.') and to 'render' those returned articles using the haml-js template
The second is the usage of a 'layout' haml-js file
layout.haml.html. This file will be used whenever a call to 'render' is made (unless over-ridden in that particular call) and provides a simple mechanism for common style across all page requests.
If you're familiar with Haml then you may want to skip this section, otherwise please read-on! Haml is yet-another templating language, however this one is driven by the rule that 'Markup should be beautiful'. It provides a lightweight syntax for declaring markup with a bare minimum of typed characters.
haml-js is a server-side JavaScript partial/mostly-complete implementation of Haml. Reading a haml-js template is simple. The hierarchy of elements is expressed as indentation on the left hand-side; that is, everything that starts in a given column shares the same parent. Each line of Haml represents either a new element in the (eventual) HTML document or a function within Haml (which offers conditions and loops etc). Effectively haml-js takes a JSON object and binds it to any
literaltext in the haml-js template, applies the rules that define Haml and then processes the resulting bag of stuff to produce a well-formed and valid HTML document of the specified DOCTYPE. (Yay!)
As is probably obvious we need a little styling to be applied here, to do that we'll need to change our layout a little to request a stylesheet, add a new rule to service this request and add a Sass template to the
views folder in order to generate the css.
-# views/layout.haml.html
%title = title
%link{ rel: 'stylesheet', href: '/style.css' }
#wrapper = body
// views/style.sass.css
:font-family "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", "Arial"
:font-size 13px
:text-align center
=text-stroke 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)
:color #555
h1, h2
:margin 0
:font-size 22px
:color #343434
:text-shadow 1px 2px 2px #ddd
:font-size 60px
:text-align left
:margin-left auto
:margin-right auto
:width 320px
:margin 20px
:display none
:font-weight bold
:text-decoration underline
:background-color #eee
:background-color #ffa
And add a new route to app.js:
get('/*.css', function(file){
this.render(file + '.sass.css', { layout: false });
Again after restarting your app and browsing to localhost:3000 you should see the posts, with a little more style (grantedly not much more!).
A couple of things to notice here:
- We setup a route to handle the request for the css as a regular expression match. We then used the matched url segment to load a Sass file from the available views and
expressdynamically converts the Sass into CSS for us on the fly. In a production environment there are configuration options that can be passed to the
configuremethod to make sure these views are cached but during development its rather useful to be able to change your Sass on the fly :)
- As express is treating the sass to CSS rendering in exactly the same manner as the Haml to HTML rendering we need to suppress the default
layoutbehaviour as there is no meaningful layout here for our Sass.
Sass is to CSS as Haml is to HTML. However reading Sass can be a little more complex as the hierarchy that is being described is really individual selectors. Lines that start at the same column and begin with a
:are rules, these rules are applied to the hierarchy that they're found under, for example in the above Sass example the bottom most line of Sass
:background-color #ffais equivalent to the CSS
#articles .article .body {background-color: #ffa;}this equivalence is due to the position of the start of this line relative to its parent lines :) (Easy really!)
Great, so how do I make my first post?
Now we can view a list of blog posts it would be nice to have a simple form for making new posts and being re-directed back to the new list. To achieve this we'll need a new view (to let us create a post) and two new routes (one to accept the post data, the other to return the form).
-# views/blog_new.haml.html
%h1 = title
%form{ method: 'post' }
%span Title :
%input{ type: 'text', name: 'title', id: 'editArticleTitle' }
%span Body :
%textarea{name: 'body', rows: 20, id: 'editArticleBody' }
%input{ type: 'submit', value: 'Send' }
Add two new routes to app.js
get('/blog/new', function(){
this.render('blog_new.haml.html', {
locals: {
title: 'New Post'
post('/blog/new', function(){
var self = this;
title: this.param('title'),
body: this.param('body')
}).addCallback(function(docs) {
Upon restarting your app if you browse to new post you will be able to create new blog articles, awesome! Looking at the post route we can see that upon successfully saving we redirect back to the index page where all the articles are displayed.
If I've lost you along the way you can get a patch of this fully working (but non-persisting) blog here: Checkpoint 1. This patch should apply cleanly to the previously described SHA of express :)
Adding permanent persistence to the mix
I promised that by the end of this article we'd be persisting our data across restarts of node, I've not yet delivered on this promise but now I will ..hopefully ;)
To do this we need to install a dependency on node-mongodb-native, which will allow our burgeoning application to access mongoDB. If we open the console up and enter the
express directory we created earlier we will be able to type the following commands to install the driver.
git submodule add git://github.com/christkv/node-mongodb-native.git lib/support/mongodb
cd lib/support/mongodb
git checkout a0392fb6095aefdb8889dc8a269a36ee957e27a4
Now we need to replace our old memory based data provider with one thats capable of using mongodb, this will also require a minor change to
app.js to use the replacement provider.
// articleprovider-mongodb.js
var mongo = require("mongodb/db");
process.mixin(mongo, require('mongodb/connection'));
var ObjectID = require('mongodb/bson/bson').ObjectID;
ArticleProvider = function(host, port) {
this.connected = false;
this.db = new mongo.Db('node-mongo-blog', new mongo.Server(host, port, {auto_reconnect: true}, {}));
ArticleProvider.prototype.findAll = function() {
var promise = new process.Promise();
this.db.open(function(db) {
db.collection(function(article_collection) {
article_collection.find(function(cursor) {
cursor.toArray(function(results) {
promise.emitSuccess( results );
}, 'articles');
return promise;
ArticleProvider.prototype.findById = function(id) {
var promise = new process.Promise();
this.db.open(function(db) {
db.collection(function(article_collection) {
article_collection.findOne(function(result) {
}, {_id: ObjectID.createFromHexString(id)});
}, 'articles');
return promise;
ArticleProvider.prototype.save = function(articles) {
var promise = new process.Promise()
this.db.open(function(db) {
db.collection(function(article_collection) {
if( typeof(articles.length)=="undefined")
articles = [articles];
for( var i =0;i< articles.length;i++ ) {
article = articles[i];
article.created_at = new Date();
if( article.comments === undefined ) article.comments = [];
for(var j =0;j< article.comments.length; j++) {
article.comments[j].created_at = new Date();
article_collection.insert(articles, function() {
}, 'articles');
return promise;
exports.ArticleProvider = ArticleProvider;
// app.js
var ArticleProvider = require('./articleprovider-mongodb').ArticleProvider;
set('root', __dirname);
function getArticleProvider() {
return new ArticleProvider('localhost', 27017);
get('/', function(){
var self = this;
getArticleProvider().findAll().addCallback(function(docs) {
self.render('blogs_index.haml.html', {
locals: {
title: 'Blog',
articles: docs
get('/blog/new', function(){
this.render('blog_new.haml.html', {
locals: {
title: 'New Post'
post('/blog/new', function(){
var self = this;
title: this.param('title'),
body: this.param('body')
}).addCallback(function(docs) {
get('/*.css', function(file){
this.render(file + '.sass.css', { layout: false })
As you can see we had to make only the smallest of changes to move away from a temporary in-memory JSON store to the fully persistent and highly scalable mongoDB store.
Let us pause for a second to take a look at one of the methods we've just written to access mongoDB:
ArticleProvider.prototype.findById = function(id) {
var promise = new process.Promise();
this.db.open(function(db) {
db.collection(function(article_collection) {
article_collection.findOne(function(result) {
}, {_id: ObjectID.createFromHexString(id)});
}, 'articles');
return promise;
It is perhaps not immediately obvious what is happening here, as there are a lot of different things going on
- Declares the
findByIdmethod on the provider's
prototype. This method is going to take in one argument the
idof the article we wish to retrieve and it is going to return a promise. (A promise is a data-structure that exists in versions of node prior to 0.1.30, it allows for handling synchronous and asynchronous events equivalently in the calling code.)
- Creates the promise that will be returned to the calling code
- Opens the mongoDB connection asynchronously and passes in a callback function that will be executed (and passed a reference to this connection) once it has been opened.
- In mongoDB there are no tables as such (hence schema-less) but there are
collections. A
collectionseems to be a logical grouping of similar documents, but there appears to be no real constraint on what types of document is put in these
collections. For our purpose we will have a single
articles. By calling
collectionon the
dbobject and passing in our collection name
articlesand a callback to deal with the response mongoDb will quietly create the collection from scratch and return it if there wasn't a collection of that name already or it will just return a reference to an existing connection. (This behaviour can actually be controlled by configuring mongoDB to be
- The
collectiontype that is passed in the callback from the previous call to
db.collection(...)exposes various methods for manipulating the data stored inside of the database. Here we've chosen to use
findOnewhich when given some criteria to search on will return the sole record that matches those criteria, but there are others such as
findwhich returns a
cursorthat can be iterated over etc.
- Now we have the record we searched for in the database we tell the promise we created back at the start that we're done so any associated callbacks that the promise has are executed (in our case this callback would do the page rendering.)
- This is the
specificationargument (think
WHERE clause) used by the
findOnemethod that started on line 5, here we're using the passed in
id(which is a hexadecimal string ultimately coming from the browser so needs to be converted to the real type that our
_idfields are being stored as.) It basically states 'Find me the document in the collection who has a property named
_idand a value equivalent to an
ObjectIdconstructed with the passed in hexadecimal string.
- This is the
collectionargument (think
FROM clause) used by the
collectionmethod that started on line 4. This tells mongoDB which set of documents we care about.
- Meh! some brackets and stuff :)
- Returns the promise. (The code above may or may not have executed yet, but when the calling code attaches its callback it will be notified with the results that were emitted on line 6)
I hope this explains a little better what is now going on inside our new provider code.
Adding comments
We're about halfway through the set of (4) operations we defined earlier but you'll be pleased to know that we've completed the majority of the work, everything from here on in is just minor improvements :)
Just to re-cap we've done:
- Create a new article.
- Show the list of all the articles.
and we still need to do:
- Show an individual article and its comments.
- Comment on an article.
So, lets crack on!
Showing an individual article and its comments
Displaying an individual article isn't much different to displaying one of the articles within the list of articles that we've already done, so we'll pinch some of that template. In addition to displaying the title and body though we will also want to render all the existing comments and provide a form for readers to add their own comment.
We'll also need a new route to allow the article to be referenced by a URL and we'll need to tweak the rendered list so our titles on the list can now be hyperlinks to the real article's own page.
One thing that we should touch on here is surrogate vs natural keys. It seems that with document orientated databases it is encouraged where possible to use natural keys however in this case we've not got any sensible one to use (unless you fancy title to be unique enough.)
Normally this wouldn't be that much of an issue as surrogate keys are usually fairly sane things like auto-incremented integers, unfortunately the default primary key provider that we're using generates universally unique (and universally opaque) binary objects / large numbers in byte arrays. These 'numbers' don't really translate well into HTML so we need to use some utility methods on the
ObjectIdclass to translate to and from a hex-string into the id that can located on the database.
-# views/blogs_index.haml.html
%h1 = title
:each article in articles
%div.created_at = article.created_at
%a{href:"/blog/"+article._id.toHexString()}= article.title
%div.body = article.body
-# views/blog_show.haml.html
%h1 = title
%div.created_at = article.created_at
%div.title = article.title
%div.body = article.body
:each comment in article.comments
%div.person = comment.person
%div.comment = comment.comment
%form{ method: 'post', action:"/blog/addComment" }
%input{type: "hidden", name:"_id", value: article._id.toHexString()}
%span Author :
%input{ type: 'text', name: 'person', id: 'addCommentPerson' }
%span Comment :
%textarea{name: 'comment', rows: 5, id: 'addCommentComment' }
%input{ type: 'submit', value: 'Send' }
// views/style.sass.css
:font-family "Helvetica Neue", "Lucida Grande", "Arial"
:font-size 13px
:text-align center
=text-stroke 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)
:color #555
h1, h2
:margin 0
:font-size 22px
:color #343434
:text-shadow 1px 2px 2px #ddd
:font-size 60px

:width 490px
:margin-left 16px
input[type =button]
:text-align left
:margin-left 440px
:width 490px
:height 90px
We also need to add a new rule to
app.js for serving these view requests:
get('/blog/*', function(id){
var self = this;
getArticleProvider().findById(id).addCallback(function(article) {
self.render('blog_show.haml.html', {
locals: {
title: article.title,
Now if you browse to localhost:3000 the previous articles you added (click new post to create a new one if you have none) should now be visible (apologies for the lack of style once again!) The titles of these articles are now hyperlinks to individual pages that display the article in all itself original glory, comments and all (but alas no comments have been added so far.)
Comment on an article
Commenting on an article is a simple extension upon everything we've already gone through, the only minor complexity is in the style of 'update' we use on the back-end.
Transactions are largely non-existent in mongoDB but there are several approaches to achieving atomicity in certain scenarios. For comment addition we're going to use a '$push' update that allows us to add an element to the end of an array property of an existing document atomically (which is absolutely perfect for our needs!)
All the views/stylesheet changes we need were made in the last set of changes but we need to add in a new route to handle the POST and a method to our provider to make the change on the persistent store:
// app.js
post('/blog/addComment', function() {
var self = this;
getArticleProvider().addCommentToArticle(this.param('_id'), {
person: self.param('person'),
comment: self.param('comment'),
created_at: new Date()
}).addCallback(function(docs) {
self.redirect('/blog/' + self.param('_id'))
// articleprovider-mongodb.js
ArticleProvider.prototype.addCommentToArticle = function(articleId, comment) {
var promise = new process.Promise();
this.db.open(function(db) {
db.collection(function(article_collection) {
{_id: ObjectID.createFromHexString(articleId)},
{"$push": {comments: comment}});
}, 'articles');
return promise;
After restarting and browsing to a blog article (any one will do) you should now be able to add comments to your articles ad-infinitum. How easy was that?
If you've made it to this point without any issues then congratulations! Otherwise this Checkpoint 2 patch should contain all the code as I have it now!
Where next
Clearly this blogging application is very rough and ready (there is no style to speak of for starters) but there are several clear directions that it could take, depending on feedback I'll either leave these as exercises for the reader or provide additional tutorials over time:
- Markup language support (HTML, Markdown etc. in the posts and comments)
- Security, authentication etc.
- An administrative interface
- Multiple blog-support.
- Decent styling
(inc. themes)
I hope this helps at least someone out there get to grips with how you might start actually writing web apps with node, express and mongoDB.
Good luck! :)

Outcasts United: The Story of a Refugee Soccer Team That Changed a Townby Warren St John
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The extraordinary tale of a refugee youth soccer team and the transformation of a small American town
Clarkston, Georgia, was a typical Southern town until it was designated a refugee settlement center in the 1990s, becoming the first American home for scores of families in flight from the worlds war zones—from Liberia and Sudan to Iraq and Afghanistan. Suddenly Clarkstons streets were filled with women wearing the hijab, the smells of cumin and curry, and kids of all colors playing soccer in any open space they could find. The town also became home to Luma Mufleh, an American-educated Jordanian woman who founded a youth soccer team to unify Clarkstons refugee children and keep them off the streets. These kids named themselves the Fugees.
Set against the backdrop of an American town that without its consent had become a vast social experiment, Outcasts United follows a pivotal season in the life of the Fugees and their charismatic coach. Warren St. John documents the lives of a diverse group of young people as they miraculously coalesce into a band of brothers, while also drawing a fascinating portrait of a fading American town struggling to accommodate its new arrivals. At the center of the story is fiery Coach Luma, who relentlessly drives her players to success on the soccer field while holding together their lives—and the lives of their families—in the face of a series of daunting challenges.
This fast-paced chronicle of a single season is a complex and inspiring tale of a small town becoming a global community—and an account of the ingenious and complicated ways we create a home in a changing world.
This young people's version of the adult bestseller, Outcasts United: An American Town, a Refugee Team, and One Woman's Quest to Make a Difference, is a complex and inspirational story about the Fugees, a youth soccer team made up of diverse refugees from around the world, and their formidable female coach, Luma Mufleh. Clarkston, Georgia, was a typical southern town until it became a refugee resettlement center. The author explores how the community changed with the influx of refugees and how the dedication of Lumah Mufleh and the entire Fugees soccer team inspired an entire community.

Recognizing this new international security landscape, the former Chief of Naval Operations called for a collaborative international approach to maritime security, initially branded the "1,000-ship Navy." This concept envisions U.S. naval forces partnering with multinational, federal, state, local and private sector entities to ensure freedom of navigation, the flow of commerce, and the protection of ocean resources.
This new book from the National Research Council examines the technical and operational implications of the "1,000-ship Navy," as they apply to four levels of cooperative efforts:

Students at Emerson College have become some of the first in Boston to be able to pay for cab rides with their student IDs. And if the current trends towards allowing students to use their IDs off-campus continue, they won't be the last.
Creative Mobile Technologies, which provides the credit card machine terminals inside of two-thirds of all cabs in Boston, arranged with Emerson College and Suffolk University to accept student ID cards last month.
Students all over Boston regularly use their student IDs as debit or credit cards to buy food from pizza joints or other goods and services like textbooks and even clothing. Parents or guardians at most colleges can fill up the ID cards in advance like a debit card, or get stuck with the bill afterwards, like a credit card.
Creative Mobile Technologies CEO Jason Poliner told the Boston Herald the main concern was providing safe rides home for students.
"They want to prevent students who are low on cash after exiting a bar from making bad decisions on how to get home," he told the Herald.
John Silveria, assistant dean of students at Suffolk, told the Herald 150 students have already used their student ID, or Ram Card, to pay for cab fare.
"It's pretty evident that our students are using it and finding it to be a good service," he told the Herald.

MINNEAPOLIS (WDRB) – Maybe in April Indiana shrugs at the basketball game the Hoosiers lost to Minnesota, 77-73, here in Williams Arena Wednesday night.
Just one of those magical games when Minnesota forward Trevor Mbakwe played like the baddest man in the Big Ten. A night when Cody Zeller did not do much – and Christian Watford did even less.
A 40-minute dance of soft play that inspired the expected hard rush of the court by the Minnesota students because the nation's top-ranked team went down. Duke loses. Kansas loses. Michigan State loses. Everybody loses. Heck, Indiana had already lost as the nation's Number One team against Butler and Illinois.
That's probably the way this thing plays out. A one-game blip that Tom Crean will fix by the time the Hoosiers return to Assembly Hall to play Iowa Saturday night. No big deal. The Hoosiers (12-3) still lead Michigan State by a game in the Big Ten race.
But you can count on this: Everybody who plays the Hoosiers will try to follow the script that Tubby Smith gave to his relentless Minnesota team.
Be tougher than Indiana. Push Indiana. Go at Indiana, especially Zeller and Watford. Don't be afraid to go directly to the rim against Indiana. Initiate contact against Indiana. Find out precisely how blue-collar the Hoosiers want to be.
Will they play through a bloody lip?
Not on Tuesday night. Not early. Not late.
"They were relentless on the glass and we just didn't do a good job of boxing them out," said Victor Oladipo of Indiana. "We paid for it. It seemed like they got every loose ball."
Mbakwe, a 6-foot-8, 245-pound mound of muscle, scored Minnesota's first basket on a layup. He scored the Gophers' second basket on a short jump shot. He scored their third basket on a dunk. Trevor Mbakwe never backed up.
"That's a high-level player," said Crean, who signed Mbakwe at Marquette. "He's a high-level, high-energy tough guy, that plays the game at a desperate level. He was the toughest guy on the court tonight, and we did not answer the bell there."
Mbakwe had six points in the first 2 ½ minutes. Zeller and Watford did not have a combined six points for the first 31 minutes. Neither one of Indiana's big men had a basket until nearly seven minutes had been played in the second half. They were MIA.
Mbakwe kept going. And going. And going. He finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds. He looked like the most complete inside player in the Big Ten – and made Zeller looks like he needed a junior season in college. Zeller finished nine points, missing seven of nine shots. He had seven rebounds, five more than Watford, who only scored eight.
"You've got to make (Zeller) play both ends of the court," Smith said. "We wanted to run a lot of people at him. We did what we could to negate his skill set."
Not many people have a Trevor Mbakwe. Ohio State has DeShaun Thomas. Wisconsin has Ryan Evans, but he can't score the way Mbakwe can.
But this is the part of the Minnesota tape that is more likely to get Crean's attention. Minnesota outscored the Hoosiers in the paint, 40-22. Points from offensive rebounds were also lopsided – 21-8 in favor of the Gophers. It wasn't only Mbakwe. It was a team thing. The Gophers had 23 offensive rebounds and outrebounded IU, 44-30.
"We weren't physical enough on the glass," Crean said.
There is a two-minute clip from the middle of the second half that Crean is not going to like. There was Elliott Eliason, a 6-11 post player without muscle, scoring seven straight points as Minnesota erased a 46-39 Indiana lead. Elliott Eliason averages 1.9 points per game. He had not scored seven points in a game this season.
That was not Trevor Mbakwe scoring three straight baskets. That was a guy who had not scored three baskets in Minnesota's last three games.
Trevor Mbakwe can happen. Elliott Eliason cannot happen – not if you expect to win the Big Ten and do great things in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's one of the tougher losses we've had," Oladipo said. "We felt like we did a great job of preparing. It's a long season left, as you guys know. We're trying to do big things. We've got to learn from this mistake and dust it off real fast.
"Winning the Big Ten was going to be tough whether we won today or lost today. Now it's even tougher."

" Since a 13-liter diesel engine with 40 tons in tow will never match the get-up-and-go of a Porsche 911 GT3, we G-force junkies have to get our fix with air disc brakes." Equipment Editor Jim Park got the chance to test the stopping power of several European trucks with air disc brakes on a trip to Europe last week, and he shares the experience in his latest "On the Road" blog post.

The BKc, Style Wars: San Francisco vs. Chicago. . .
125 Responses to The BKc, Style Wars: San Francisco vs. Chicago. . .
Pardon, to [nwah-zet]: Brian's bag is a Sir & Madame Chicago sample.
Vote on folks…
gotta go with Brian… his use of accessories is fresh, from the handkerchief, to the belt, to the wrist bands, and the back pack; well put together
DEF gotta go with Brian, aka Bro-in-Law for bringing it with the backpack!!! Boots are insane!! Not to mention the KERCHIEF in the pocket!!!
Brian. On point with the Selvedge, workwear button up, Sebago x SE boots, wrist pieces, belt, pack, all of it. A little midwest flavor. Relaxed and refined. Gino did it well though. Different bow tie, different watch and I flip a coin. Tough to mess up that cardigan. Hats off to both… and of course the circus.
Gino!!! Although I love the little bits of leather in Chicago, Gino takes the cake. I love the classicness of the colors and fabrics Gino chose. I prefer Gino's shirt rather than the blue jean shirt. The sf look is just so stylish, unique, distinguished, but casual and approachable. Grat job to both.
of course SF Gino
San Franciso. has definitely won. Why? Overall neatness and fit,making the outfit look complete.
Feeling the earthy tones in both set ups, and the hand on the new cardigan-butta. On some compare and contrast ish, Gino's roll up game is effortless and clean, which exudes an overall comfortable swagg.
Gino gets my vote. I like Brians outfit; from the matching wrist straps, billykirk bag(if im not mistaking), chambray shirt to the street etiquette lighthouse boots, damn im stunned. But Gino I like I like, from the bow tie to the suspenders; sometimes simple is best. Got the clean yet somewhat rugged (due to the cuffing of pants n boost) feel to it; it matches his face and body. Kudos to both of you guys!
Gino, looks really dapper..
Gino's color scheme works better overall (for me). The bow-tie provides a lovely contrast to the stripes and adds a bit of texture. The suspenders are a nice touch and the slightly rolled up sleeves are great. Good job SF and the Circus!
I love Gino's style. His look is so effortless and sophisticated! Good work
gino. hands down.
Classic like a Thelonius Monk record!
Gino takes this one sorry to say!
I must give it to Brian. Gino's look is so predicatable and we have seen this look countless times from the BKc…Brian shows that you don't have completely change who you are to wear the BKc items. He illustrates that anyone can incorporate the BKc into their normal everday wear, you don't have to be the stereotypical slim fitting, posh, and poise dude to pull off this great brand.
Brain got this one on lock….
Tres easy. Brian for the win. Gino's look is very common place and foreseeable. Brian was simply creative and executed it well. Go Brian!!
Gino handsdown
I must admit I am feeling both looks but I would have to go with Gino. The color splash of his wrist, belt, and shoes adds a little more for the eye versus Brians "safe" grey monotone color. #TeamGino!
Gino got this one.
My votes for Brian. While Gino provides a more polished, clean-cut style that formulates around the cardigan; Brian offers an enjoyed-ease, a backpacker feel to his outfit by combining a punch of color and accessories to compose an accented balance.
The brawl between San Francisco and Chicago dilutes to one aesthetic, the preference between simplicity and expression. Brian showcases a style that is atypical but complimenting for Chicago, one with proclamation and outside the steps of comfort. Suiting the city of its Fall behavior, Brian's style accompanies The Windy City weather, the transformation of season and color, and the state of mind of fellow Chicagoans – to be the focal point of a waning season.
(as on Examiner.com: The Brooklyn Circus reintroduces Style Wars http://exm.nr/bT1kWT)
If anyone's looked at the Madbury spread someone has a similar look to Gino. This has become the cliche "Fresh BKC look" with the bowtie/Cardigan and no props for a pretied bowtie. I'm voting Brian on this one.
Ginos style is classic and timeless, yet modern. The styling of his outfit is effortless. Good job Gino!

This is a secret gem of bouldering in the Gunnison (more like Crested Butte) area. A very Frenchy setting, these boulders are located amongst the trees underneath the massive wall to the east of the town of Crested Butte. Generally uncrowded (I have never seen more than two other parties), this area boasts some great quality rock.
Getting There
Park north of the area and take the bike/hiking trail to the boulders.
Per Luke Mehall: dogs are not allowed on this trail, however, and climbers have received fines for having dogs in this area, as it is used for ranching.

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

WASHINGTON -- If they only knew, dogs from coast to coast might be howling over this advice from the government.
The Food and Drug Administration issued a reminder to consumers Wednesday to toss out bones from their meals rather than feed them to their pets.
''Some people think it's safe to give dogs large bones, like those from a ham or a roast,'' said Carmela Stamper, a veterinarian in the Center for Veterinary Medicine at the FDA. ''Bones are unsafe no matter what their size.''
The FDA spelled out 10 reasons it's a bad idea to give doggie a real bone.
Among them: broken teeth, mouth or tongue injuries, bones or fragments of bones getting stuck in a dog's esophagus or even its stomach, which might require surgery. Bone fragments also can cause constipation.
Worse, it could be deadly. Giving your dog a real bone could cause a bacterial infection of the abdomen, called peritonitis, when fragments poke holes in a dog's stomach or intestines. ''Your dog needs an emergency visit to your veterinarian because peritonitis can kill your dog,'' says the caution from the FDA.
The Better Business Bureau recently cautioned pet owners about feeding a popular treat, Dynamic Pet Products' Real Ham Bone for Dogs, to pets. It says a number of consumers have complained that dogs became seriously ill or died from internal damage due to bone fragments. The company has denied any wrongdoing, according to the bureau news release.

Treatment Begins with Detailed TestingTreatment for memory disorder patients begins with accurate, detailed testing procedures to determine if a condition is Alzheimer's disease, another type of memory disorder or another condition. Memory loss and other problems with cognition or mood can be due to depression or other causes. That's why a detailed medical evaluation is so important.
Our team includes a neuropsychologist who is specially trained to conduct in-depth testing of each patient's abstract reasoning, executive functioning and emotional health. Our personalized testing helps correctly identify the cause of a patient's symptoms so that patients can receive immediate and appropriate treatment.
Comprehensive Treatment ProgramOur Memory Disorders Clinic offers a comprehensive treatment program that includes all FDA-approved prescription drugs, as well as over-the-counter herbal supplements that can improve brain function, and occupational and nutritional therapy. Our team not only provides a personalized treatment plan for each patient, we also communicate the patient's current and future needs to family members and other caregivers. Our team's social worker trains family members and links caregivers with local support groups and other community resources.
New Prescription Drug Now AvailableWe offer Alzheimer's patients a new drug treatment called Namenda®(memantine HCl) that was recently approved by the FDA. Plaque depositions present in the brain of Alzheimer's patients are usually accompanied by inflammation that causes further damage. Namenda reduces inflammation and has been shown in clinical trials to slow the decline in brain function for these patients. It can be taken alone or with other prescription drugs to improve the lifestyle of many Alzheimer's patients.

UPDATE: Italy 2-1 Germany, Final Score
Mario Balotelli has stolen the show in the Euro 2012 semifinals, tearing apart Germany en route to a halftime brace. Germany's previously solid defense has looked terrible in the first half against Italy, as the combination of Balotelli, Antonio Cassano and Riccardo Montolivo has taken them apart on two occasions en route to a 2-0 lead.
Germany surprisingly started the match with Toni Kroos in midfield, as they switched to a 4-3-3 to attempt to match Italy in the center. It's helped them control the game for the most part, though they haven't turned their positive play into goals. They generated the game's first big chance in the 6th minute, with Mats Hummels redirecting a Kroos corner on target, but Andrea Pirlo blocked his shot off the line.
Gianluigi Buffon was tested twice in quick succession in the 13th minute. Sami Khedira set up a chance with a great weaving run and pass out wide for Jerome Boateng, who swung a hard cross into the box. Buffon mishandled, but his defense was in good position to clear the ball for a corner. Following the corner, Kroos hit a good long shot on target, but Buffon was able to punch away.
It looked like the Germans were going to find the game's first goal, but things changed quickly in the 20th minute. Cassano provided a brilliant assist for Balotelli for the game's opening goal, turning away from two defenders before playing a cross into the box. Holger Badstuber couldn't stay with Balotelli, who rose up and powered a header into the back of the net.
He struck again 16 minutes later with a spectacular goal, scored off of a long ball. Germany's defense was caught completely off guard by Montolivo's pass over the top, and Balotelli timed his run perfectly to stay onside before running clear of everyone. Philipp Lahm and Mats Hummels didn't look to be on the same page at all, as they failed to hold their line, then didn't pick up Balotelli running by them onto the ball. He held off the defenders who were attempting to recover and hit a powerful shot by Manuel Neuer, doubling Germany's lead.
Besides a couple of terrible lapses in defense, Germany haven't played too poorly so far, but the first half was nothing short of a disaster for them. Joachim Löw will have to consider some halftime changes, both in tactics and personnel.

Breakout players
Related Stories
Pro Football Weekly presents the fifth of an eight-part divisional breakdown of the players most likely to be attending 2011 coming-out parties in the NFC East.
Dallas Cowboys
LB Sean Lee — Lee showed progress in increased snaps as his rookie season went on after battling injuries early on. The more Lee got on the field, the more the Cowboys started to think that he could play a major role in coverage and as a run stopper. Age has set in at inside linebacker with Bradie James and Keith Brooking getting up there in years, and Lee is expected to challenge Brooking for a starting spot. Even if he doesn't win it initially, expect to see Lee in on nickel packages, the role he played when he picked off two Peyton Manning passes in an upset win over the Colts.
New York Giants
DE Jason Pierre-Paul — Pierre-Paul started heating up the edges as a pass rusher in a reserve role as a rookie and might be in the perfect situation to thrive with expanded responsibilities in his second season. It's quite conceivable Pierre-Paul could break out the way Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck — now full-fledged stars — did in their second and third seasons. Although Pierre-Paul is just starting to scratch the surface and has much to learn, he is a freakish athlete who is dripping with upside. One interesting key will be to watch how the Giants handle Mathias Kiwanuka, who is coming off a serious neck injury and might not be re-signed once free agency opens. That could open the door for more snaps for Pierre-Paul.
Philadelphia Eagles
DT Antonio Dixon — Dixon came out of nowhere to start last season, pushing former first-round pick Brodrick Bunkley to the bench. Dixon is the team's biggest defensive lineman and was a force against the run last season. In his 10 starts, the Eagles' run defense allowed 97.8 yards per game. In the six games he did not start, that number was 131.3. In new defensive coordinator Juan Castillo's scheme, the assignments are expected to be simplified, and a player with such mass and force as Dixon has could be put in some favorable situations. He won't be asked to split gaps as much and could hold up well in the trenches.
Washington Redskins
OLT Trent Williams — Williams is the pick here by process of elimination, as years of thin drafts have left few breakout options on Washington's roster. Williams was thrown into the fire right away at left tackle as a rookie and held his own early on against a murderer's row of top pass rushers: DeMarcus Ware, Mario Williams, Trent Cole, Dwight Freeney and Julius Peppers, among others. But Williams struggled more as the season went on and got hurt, missing two games. He is a great fit in Mike Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme with excellent feet and long, strong arms, and he still has room to grow. But not everyone is convinced he's a future star, either.

Show told the real story of Christmas
My family attended a presentation of "The Miracle of Christmas" at the Fort Mill High School Auditorium by Eddie Mabry Talent this Saturday. I was expecting just another secular show about Christmas with either syrupy, sentimental, meaningless songs and dances focused on Santa and his reindeer or something along the empty, depressing theme of "It's a Wonderful Life."
What I experienced, however, was a spirit lifting presentation of the real meaning of Christmas with moving and beautiful renditions of scripture through song and dance that focused on the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Thank you Eddie Mabry and company for bringing a performance to the stage that wasn't censored by the threat of the PC police and that faithfully and beautifully presented the real story and meaning of Christmas, that Christ came to die to save his people from their sins. Truly His birth was the greatest gift of all.

Let 2008 be a year of gratitude
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 61
An Cherokee elder explained to his grandchildren, "A battle is raging inside me ... it is a terrible fight between two wolves. "One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. "The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The old man looked intently at the children. "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person too." One child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The answer came: "The one you feed."
- Cherokee proverb Much has been studied and written about the power of the positive in one's life. Acknowledging and showing gratitude is a big step toward moving toward the positive. And, I believe, the more good we show, the more good we can receive. In that light, we invited people to submit "thank you's" to be published in the Tri-County News at no charge. Only a few people took us up on it. So we're extending the offer, indefinitely. We also have a supply of engraved "thank you" notes which we will provide at no charge. Just come to the office during business hours and pick some up. This will mark my third attempt at a "season of gratitude". I thnk it has not been more used because people just get so busy. That's what I want to believe anyway. We all have much to be grateful for. As individuals, families, and as a country we have been very blessed. I invite you to express gratitude for these blessings. (We can help you with the wording, too, if you'd like.)
You can choose which wolf to feed: the negative one that brings fear, greed, and regret, or the positive one that brings joy, serenity and hope.
gratitude noun The quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindnes. P.S. Yes, that was me in the birthday ad last week.
