Sonos released a beta app a few weeks back that is much less... unattractive. The company isn't stopping with the looks, though. Sonos is getting official support for Google Play Music today, allowing you to stream tunes directly to your Sonos speakers from Google's cloud.
I don't know about you, but I always carry hammers in my pockets. So, clearly it's important I know how a smartphone will stand up to a hammer. Enter TechRax, who took it upon himself to do a hammer test on the Galaxy S5. The lesson we can all learn from this: don't hit high-density lithium-ion batteries with hammers. Just watch the very end... trust me.
Amazon wants to keep you spending money, and as a commerce company, it has the benefit of having no reason to hide this fact. Its recently announced FireTV set-top box marks a play for the television, but that's potentially small change compared to the money to be gained from locking in most of a person's grocery shopping.
The AmazonFresh grocery service is still only offered in parts of California and Seattle, but yesterday the company added support into the Amazon Android tablet app, and now it's rolling out a new product that goes even further to reduce the amount of time it takes to get an item into your virtual cart.
Today Amazon announced FireTV, its new preferred set-top box for pumping media out to your TV. The $99 box primarily emphasizes shows, movies, and music, but it can also run apps and games. Now Amazon Game Studios has provided a sneak peek at what it's working on. These are games that, as the company describes underneath the first YouTube video, are "built from the ground up for Kindle Fire tablets and Fire TV." Whether any of this content will eventually arrive on other Android devices remains to be seen.
A few days ago, it was confirmed that Google had started asking manufacturers to brand boot animations with a specific "Powered by Android" lockup as part of Google's Mobile Services license. Samsung's Galaxy S5 and HTC's new One M8 both carry the branding, and today Motorola's Moto X and Moto G have joined the party, but Motorola has something else in store as well - a new boot animation just in time for April Fools Day.
Today's the HTC One M8's big day, and new shots and videos of the handset keep pouring in. HTC has now shared three "First Look" clips to its YouTube account that primarily focus on the phone's camera. That so-called "Duo Camera" is the device's most peculiar feature, so it's worth taking a look at just what it does.
This first video is the most general of the bunch. It touches on the M8's metal unibody design, Motion Launch (answer the phone by lifting it to your ear), and a few camera editing features.
Forget everything you've seen or heard about HTC's M8 until today. That's the only way you'll learn much of anything new from today's announcement. The M8, officially known as the HTC One M8, was officially unveiled today in New York City. We may have already seen the phone from a distance (several times), and learned its specs by heart, but the device is official now, and we got the chance to go hands on with it at HTC's event.
In case you need more proof that the new HTC One is the worst kept secret in mobile tech since the Nexus 5, we offer People's Exhibit
A W. This video gives the Verizon-branded M8 almost 10 minutes of time in the spotlight and provides a really good comparison to the first-generation HTC One.
At this stage, there's very little we don't know about HTC's new flagship. Nevertheless, the company is set to debut the M8 to the world tomorrow, and the device should be on sale soon after the press conferences.

Edgar Allan Poe Says "Boo!" in This New Collectible Bust from Tim Bruckner
There are few American writers more beloved by horror fans than Edgar Allan Poe, which is why as soon as we saw this new collectible from artist Tim Bruckner, we absolutely had to share it!
"Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more."- Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
Has your bust of Pallas seen better days? Tired of brazen blackbirds perching willy-nilly on your priceless antiques? Well, fret not! With this new original resin model kit by Tim Bruckner, troublesome ravens are a thing of the past. Depicting famous author Edgar Allan Poe mouthing the word "Boo!", this unpainted 11.5" bust won't fail to frighten off the most courageous of crows... and possibly even an aggressive orangutan.

Ex-treasurer of Plaistow Fish & Game Club sentenced to year in jail
Alan Colby, 52, of Plaistow was sentenced to 12 months at the Rockingham County jail on Friday for stealing $104,270 from the Plaistow Fish & Game club while serving as the organization's treasurer. (JAMES A. KIMBLE/FILE PHOTO)
Alan Colby, 52, was taken into custody on Friday afternoon after his lawyer made a last-minute bid to have the ex-treasurer and local businessman free on bail pending appeal.
Judge Kenneth McHugh amended Colby's bail so he would have to post $50,000 cash or surety to be free on bail pending an appeal.
McHugh specified that Colby not be allowed work release to serve as a punishment for violating the trust of his friends and fellow club members.
"It's too bad, because this gentleman is not a career criminal," McHugh said. "But a lot of people in today's economy are suffering and they don't commit crimes."
A jury convicted Colby on Jan. 8 of six counts of theft by unauthorized taking for withdrawing roughly $200,000 from the club's coffers.
Colby began taking the funds in July 2008. He returned about $96,000 before club members realized in July 2010 that money from their bank accounts was missing.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued that Colby should spend at least two to seven years in state prison, despite his lack of a criminal record prior to the theft.
Johnson said Colby took the money to shore up his construction business, Senter Brothers Inc., but created a new series of financial woes for the game club in the process.
"There were accounts, bills they were not able to pay," she said. "Electricity had to be shut off for some time."
Members of club came to watch the sentencing on Friday, but did not speak at the hearing.
Public defender Anthony Naro argued asked McHugh to sentence Colby to 12 months in county jail with the possibility of work release so he could begin paying back $104,270 in restitution.
"This was a desperate act by a desperate man who was foolish and proud," Naro said. "He ended up hurting people as a result… Alan Colby is a person who always wanted to help people."
Roughly $40,000 of the court-ordered restitution will go to an insurance company, the remainder will go to the club, prosecutors said.
Colby will also have to pay a 17-percent penalty assessment to the state.
"Seventeen percent tax on $104,000 is no small number," Naro said. "He will be paying it for the rest of his life."
McHugh said he received 8 to 10 letters in support of Colby that he read prior to Friday's sentencing, but recognized that close, trusted friends who were members of the club feel betrayed.
"That's a horrible, personal anger issue that's hard to let go. I understand it," McHugh said.
Naro said he plans to appeal the verdict.

Tank forces have large-scale exercises in Belarus
8:11, — Army
The military exercises are held on a firing range near the town of Barysau.
On April 21, the separate tank battalion of the 11th Guards Mechanized Brigade completed unloading equipment and weapons that arrived in a military echelon at the train unloading station in Barysau, and concentrated in the designated area on the 227th firing range Barysauski in the evening. Two columns of vehicles from the battalion also arrived in the district, the press service of the Defence Ministry informs.
Two Mi-24 helicopters of the combat helicopter base and a Mi-8 helicopter from the 50th mixed air base covered the vehicle columns and the unloading station Barysau from the air.
The service personnel installed and camouflaged the military and special equipment, took security measures and took a rest.
Today, the servicemen of the tank battalion of the 11 Guards Mechanised Brigade will deploy in the assembly area, take overall support measures and carry out engineering works in the area of responsibility.
The tasks of engineer reconnaissance of the mission area and the landing zone, improving entrenchment in the area of responsibility, repairing and maintaining travel ways are performed by engineering groups of the 2nd and the 188th engineering brigades.
The combat readiness tests of the Belarusian Armed Forced began in January 2014 on the order of Lukashenka. The first phase of the combat readiness tests verified the readiness of control bodies and military units of the Belarusian part of the regional air defense system as well as territorial defense control bodies and units. The second phase began with tests to verify the readiness of the entire Belarusian-Russian regional air defense system.

daycare birthday cupcakes and anaphylactic kids
Started by Excentrique Feral , Dec 12 2012 11:35 AM
16 replies to this topic
Posted 12 December 2012 - 11:35 AM
There are both egg and peanut allergic kids in DS's kindy class.
The teacher has said I'm fine to bring something in as long as its free of egg and nuts.
So I'm thinking gingerbread men, which have no egg in them.
Since they are usually iced with royal icing which is mostly egg white, I thought I would ice mine with white chocolate.
Is there anyway to help the chocolate not melt once its on the gingerbread? My car can be quite warm.
Also I want to put smarties on them but they say they have been manufactured on equipment that also manufactures nuts. Too dangerous? What else could I use?
Posted 12 December 2012 - 11:38 AM
I'd just make an icing by mixing icing sugar and lemon juice - it'll dry pretty hard (make sure you use icing sugar, not soft icing mixture).
Posted 12 December 2012 - 11:41 AM
id also just make the icing with icing sugar and water or lemon juice.
you could decorate with jelly lollies, crushed up lifesavers, chocolate drops. theres a lot of choices, just check the ingredients
Posted 12 December 2012 - 11:56 AM
I would ask daycare to check with the parents of the anaphylactic children.
DS1 is ANA to egg and highly allergic to dairy (although getting a bit better with dairy). I don't like him eating any food made by other parents due to risk of error or cross contamination.
Some anaphylactic children do not eat products that "may contain traces" too. If the parents are happy for you to bake, best to stick to the absolute basics of icing sugar, water & juice.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 12:11 PM
3 of my 4 children have allergies as well
Edited by Banana Pancakes, 15 June 2014 - 02:32 PM.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 12:18 PM
DS is allergic to peanuts and cashews - we're still not sure how severe it is as the doctors didn't want to continue the testing after the initial reactions.
A couple of mums have brought cup-cakes to school and when the teacher has asked what the ingredients were, the mums said "I don't know/can't remember". And it's supposed to be a nut free school! The teacher still allowed the cakes to be given out. I was not impressed. Sometimes the teacher will give it to me at the end of the day and let me decide, which is fair enough I suppose. Other times DS has been allowed to eat it straight away.
We were looking at another school recently for DS and I noticed they didn't allow any birthday foods to be given out at school.
Sorry OP - not much help regarding your question.
ETA: It's nice that you are being considerate about it OP. Not everyone is, unfortunately.
Edited by Mamma_mia, 12 December 2012 - 12:23 PM.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 12:18 PM
I'm surprised that with anaphylactic kids in the centre that they would be happy for you to bring anything home made at all. Personally I wouldn't risk it.
Either buy something with the ingredients listed, or leave a note for the parents telling them what day you will be celebrating, and they can provide their own safe food for their kids.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 12:30 PM
It's a lovely thought that you want to bake but in this situation it would be better to buy something from the store. There are many products now that are nut and egg (and other things) free.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 01:37 PM
I did ask the teacher thinking she would say no they don't allow any food bought in. She said its fine as long as I don't use those ingredients. Even offered to provide me with egg replacer.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 01:46 PM
I think gingerbread men - as long as you're super careful about the ingredients - would be fine.
However, I'm also surprised that they allow food from outside. Our daycare makes cakes for kids' birthdays, at the centre and based on the needs or the kids in that particular room. No food at all is allowed from home.
I'd be surprised if the parents of the ANA kids would be happy with their kids eating food prepared in someone else's kitchen. You might be super careful, but plenty of parents wouldn't be. I just don't think a parent of a non-ANA child could possibly be as vigilant as one who is.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 01:47 PM
I've decided not to risk attempting to cook. Our daycare has nut and egg allergies, and there's just no way I could ever guarantee that my kitchen/cookware/etc was completely clear of those products as I use them a lot at home. I could never live with myself if a child had any sort of reaction to something I prepared. Our centre will do a cake for $10, and if you want to bring something in they recommend non food items such as the little individual bubble blowers, stickers or other party type favours.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 02:59 PM
Thanks everyone. After looking at my recipe and realising it does have egg in it, I've given up on that idea.
I'm thinking ice blocks now, these look good and safe. http://www.homeicecream.com/product-detail...83&cc_id=14
I hadn't even thought about residue on cooking equipment.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 03:08 PM
Eamons daycare centre has the mums of the ANA kids provide some ANA-safe food items that can be frozen for ocassions like this. They also have those kids go into a different area when the cake etc. happens "just in case"
Posted 12 December 2012 - 03:16 PM
Sounds terrifying to be honest. Id buy something which guarantees these products arent used.

Posted 12 December 2012 - 03:30 PM
Our daycare has no ANA kids but we are still not able to bring celebration foods from outside.
We can however pay $5 and the cook will make cake for every child in the centre - works out mighty cheap and means I don't have to do it
Posted 12 December 2012 - 09:17 PM
Wow I make a lot of cakes for work (support staff at school) and even make them gluten (and once dairy) free to cater for everyone. When it came to cook for kids in my kid's classes I wouldn't cater for allergy kids, I just bought them something they are allowed (i.e. marshmallow) with the ingredients on them.
In the weeks before the birthday I'd seek the teacher out and ask them to ask the parent what I can supply.
OP it's ovely gesture but it's really not worth it.
I have separate containers and I never ever double dip measuring equipment. Everything is washed twice before making gluten free especially the wooden rolling pin ! When I dip cake pops into chocolate I make sure that I use a fresh packet of chocolate. The person I cater for isn't even ana and I've seen her taste food from a plate that has gluten ingredients (the stuff she put in her mouth was meant to be gluten free but you wouldn't chance it with cross contamination!).

(via sixgreenapples)
Some people like to indulge themselves with perverse statistics like for every Israeli child, 11 Palestinian children have been killed and so on. I mean, my god, get a hold of yourself and come to your senses. Since when did comparing the statistics of child deaths become socially acceptable in order to prove objectively that one side is somehow not as worse as the other.
What is worse is that their cynical confidence, as if in a pure remorseless sense, seems to emulate the likes of Anwar Congo in the Act of Killing. Is it not the same when a barbarian provides an unplugged account of his massacre with such pride so as to make the argument quite clearly that there was a reason. So too, these so called defenders of either side argue that there is quite a legitimate reason for killing and that statistics add to the equation with confidence that one side should seize their retaliatory efforts.

Feb 04, 2013 Jon Bishops, Logic, Philosophy, Quotes 0
"There is no other subject on which the average mind is so much confused as the subject of tolerance and intolerance… Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to prinicples. Intolerance applies only to principles, but never to persons." +Fulton J. Sheen, 1931 "The Curse of Broadmindedness"
Today this is truer than ever, perhaps even more so due to the reduction in humanities based education.
Fulton Sheen's explanation indicates that the definition of tolerance is somehow morphing or at least being obscured to include not only persons but also principles. For anyone with a background in philosophy or history, this should come as no surprise.
Modernism is a philosophical and artistic ideology (they go hand in hand) which advocates the abandonment of realism (the idea that reality exists independently of observers). Did you hear that? Reality (as you understand it) is only in your head and it will be different than someone else's. In short, the perception of the individual is the reality to that person—IN EVERYTHING. There is no 'rock' that is the same 'rock from person to person, the only real thing is the perception of the rock which resembles another person's perception of that same rock…which in a 'hard' version of idealism (the group of philosophies which assert that reality, or reality as we can know it, is fundamentally mental, mentally constructed, or otherwise immaterial.), both contradicting perceptions of the rock are, to each person reality, even if they contradict.
As many of you know this avalanche was triggered by the questions of Descartes who determined that we have no way to know that what we see as 'reality' isn't actually just an illusion: I can cognize overtly that nothing can be perceived by me more easily or more evidently than my mind." (Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy, Second Meditation)
So what does this mean for tolerance? It means that how much you hold someone accountable for their actions or beliefs is relative to how much their perception differs from other people's perceptions, none of which are 'correct' in themselves. And so here…we have a problem…now no one is right, it is just a matter of taking inductive account of the most common perceptions in order to reduce conflict….but the one rule that must remain absolute is that everyone is entitled to their own opinion because everyone has their own perception.
Fulton Sheen is saying that to use the world tolerance it must be being used to apply to the person only and not to the idea which is perceived to be wrong. If one is going to be intolerant, one can only do to a person and not do it to an idea.
To be tolerant of a wrong idea would be the same as not correcting someone when you know they have the wrong answer to a math problem. You tolerate the person but not the error. To say 'its ok you can have a different opinion than I do" on a math problem would not be tolerance…that is ignorance. The reason I use a math problem analogy is because it is one of the few domains that remain objective and unaffected by modernism. The Catholic Church does believe that reason can tell us what is moral and should be tolerated or not tolerated by natural law…but that is a another topic.
The next time someone reminds you to be tolerant, as yourself if they mean tolerant of the person or tolerant of the principle which you perceive to be wrong.

This is followed by a description of the general visualisation problem we are concerned with plus a description of the specific area where such a visualisation could be of benefit. We then discuss the visualisation techniques that address situations that have the greatest similarity to our own problem, and explain why they still lack suitability for our purposes. Then, two prototypes that are under development are described, and the report finishes with a breakdown of proposed future work

More info Images Map Select Section Overview Camping near York doesn't get much better than Sheriff Hutton. The historic city of York is just a few miles from our pretty Sheriff Hutton Club campsite and the North York Moors and the coastal towns of Bridlington and Filey are within easy reach. Our immaculate, well-manicured tree-lined campsite offers a tranquil base from which to explore the local area. It has 90 grass and hardstand pitches and modern facilities including a parent and child wet room with a baby change station, sink, top and tail bowl, toilet and shower. There are also laundry facilities, a small play area in the centre of the site with swings, a slide and climbing section and a small site shop. The local village of Sheriff Hutton has a post office, two charming pubs, castle ruins and a point to point race course. With Roman, Viking and medieval heritage, York has much to see and do. York Minster, the Yorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum head up the list. You can also take a boat trip on the River Ouse and join a walking tour. Great family days out include Creepy Crawlies - an indoor/outdoor adventure play centre with café – on the outskirts of York. Flamingo Land at Malton combines animals and theme rides and Monk Farm near Thirsk is full of cuddly animals. The Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington is based on a World War Two Bomber Command Station and Eden Camp Modern History Theme Museum is housed within an original Prisoner of War Camp.

Evelyn (Club Member) stayed Aug 2014 This review is for Sheriff Hutton We had not visited the area before so didn't know what to expect. The site was quite close to the road but the noise didn't bother us at all. The site is flat and very well kept, We like nice views which this site didn't have but you can't have everything. My non-driving husband likes a newsagents close by but the nearest one was more than a mile away in Sheriff Hutton. The children's play area is small and suitable for younger children so older children could find the site a bit boring I suppose. Saturday's fish and chip van is highly recommended even if a bit pricey. We ran out of gas on the last day so had a takeaway pizza which delivers to the site - again highly recommended. York is only a short drive away - there are several park and ride areas which I understand are good but we were happy to potter about without going into York.(York races were on at the time) All-in-all, we had a lovely break and will return next year.

Even though it ws full over the bank holiday weekend, it still seemed quiet and peaceful.

Golar LNG Limited ("Golar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce in furtherance of its recent press release regarding new buildings, that it has acquired further firm contracts to build two additional 160,000 m3 LNG carriers with the Korean shipbuilder Samsung Heavy Industries Co Ltd ("Samsung"). The newbuilding contracts were originally entered into by Companies affiliated with Golar's largest shareholder World Shipholding. Golar has acquired the newbuilding contracts from the affiliated party based on the original contracting terms. The two latest vessels are for delivery in 2013 and 2014 at a total cost of approximately $400 million. In addition to the now 6 confirmed vessels Golar has fixed priced options to add further capacity.
As previously announced Golar has the possibility to include ice strengthening / winterisation of the ships as well as regasification equipment. The Board consider the competitive price and payment terms, the early delivery positions and the flexibility with respect to design to create a significant commercial advantage over other operators who will enter the newbuilding market at a later stage.
In addition to the announced new building program, Golar is in final discussions regarding firm commitments for construction of multiple FSRU carriers.
The Board is pleased by the actions taken by management in order to secure the most attractive yard slots from the most experienced yard.
The Board anticipates that the total financing for the existing new building commitments can be arranged through existing cash, working capital and additional bank financing. The Board does not see a need to raise additional equity to finance the existing new building program.
Source: Golar LNG
The Swedish Government (Länsstyrelsen in Dalarnas Län) has granted Skangass permission to build and operate a new Terminal for LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) within the harbour in Gävle, Sweden.
IEA forecast sees renewable power as a cost-competitive option in an increasing number of cases, but facing growing risks to deployment over the medium term.

TALLAHASSEE — Sophomore E.J. Levenberry has emerged as the front-runner to claim the starting job at middle linebacker, coach Jimbo Fisher said Thursday.
"Levenberry is playing the best," Fisher said. "Playing more consistent in alignments and assignments, making plays, calls and checks." [More]
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher likes progress, starting to 'visualize' his team
- 6:50 pm Tuesday, August 12th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
TALLAHASSEE – The first dress rehearsal is through and Jimbo Fisher continues to like the progress his team is making.
"For our first scrimmage I'm pretty pleased where we're at," Fisher said. "We got a lot of work to do but I'm not disappointed at all knowing where we are going. I can start to visualize our team a little bit."
The Seminoles were without their starting cornerbacks – P.J. Williams and Ronald Darby – both nursing sore hamstrings.
Williams was told it would take three or four days but Fisher said he will hold him out about a week. "We're three weeks [More]
Florida State WR Travis Rudolph will miss a few more days because of a sore foot
- 8:19 pm Monday, August 11th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
TALLAHASSEE – Florida State freshman receiver Travis Rudolph will be held out of practice for the rest of the week after feeling irritation in his surgically repaired foot.
The former Cardinal Newman star had a screw inserted into his left foot early this summer because of an injury he suffered in high school. He practiced hard the first few days of camp but had to back off recently.
"He came out really well the first couple of days," coach Jimbo Fisher said. "It's healed, it just got irritated, the tendons around it. We probably let him do a little too much. We'll [More]
Florida State DB Jalen Ramsey kicked out of practice by Jimbo Fisher
- 8:44 pm Sunday, August 10th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
TALLAHASSEE – Jimbo Fisher tossed sophomore defensive back Jalen Ramsey from practice Sunday after a series of physical plays and later said Ramsey, "will decide if he wants to play at Florida State."
Ramsey, who started all 14 games last season as a true freshman, was told to leave the field late in practice after a play in which a blitzing Ramsey knocked running back Karlos Williams into quarterback Jameis Winston, who fell to the ground. It was the fourth physical play in which he was involved in during the practice.
"He was told not to do something and he defied me," [More]
Jimbo Fisher's QBs on stage at three major schools this season, FSU freshmen impressing, Jameis Winston praises Nick O'Leary
- 2:50 pm Sunday, August 10th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
Jimbo Fisher's reputation as a quarterback guru will grow on Aug. 30 when three players he recruited could be starting on college football's biggest stages.
Jameis Winston will lead FSU against Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas, after becoming the most decorated freshman in college football history after winning the Heisman Trophy and national title. And in Atlanta, two former Seminoles _ Alabama's Jacob Coker and West Virginia Clint Trickett – could be starting on opposite sides.
Fisher was asked at today's media day about the unusual situation of seeing three of his former quarterbacks possibly all starting for a major college.
"I'll be [More]
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher had QB Jameis Winston back off some this summer
- 2:48 pm Monday, August 4th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
Jameis Winston was so "fresh" and prepared when he returned to football this summer that Jimbo Fisher had him pull back.
"Jameis was really fresh," Fisher said today. "I had to make him sit back awhile and take a couple of weeks here and there. His conditioning and where he was. … He was very anxious to get better. … studying and working on releases. Things I was very pleased with. He kept a good fresh mind."
Fisher met with the media for about 35 minutes today before the Seminoles took the field for the first day of practice. FSU is coming [More]
Nike attempts to bully Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher's 9-year-old son into changing sweatshirt
- 1:05 pm Saturday, August 2nd, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
Leave it to Nike to attempt to try to tell a 9-year-old what to wear.
Following FSU's convincing victory over Miami last November, Jimbo Fisher's son, Ethan, jumped into his father's arms and at least one Nike official was not pleased with the heartwarming moment.
Ethan, who is struggling with the rare and serious genetic disease Fanconi anemia, had the nerve to be wearing an Under Armour FSU sweatshirt, upsetting Nike, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Hours after the game, Mark Dupes, Nike's assistant director for football sports marketing who helps oversee the company's $4.2 million licensing and apparel deal with [More]
Tight end Nick O'Leary preparing for a huge send-off season at FSU
- 7:00 am Tuesday, July 29th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
When FSU tight end Nick O'Leary is home he works out daily at Lou Raffaele's Peak Performance gym in Palm Beach Gardens.
O'Leary goes through a fast-pace, high-endurance workout working on his shoulders, abs, biceps, triceps and back. When he's not in the gym he's on the field working on his cardio and catching footballs.
I caught up with the soft-spoken, high-energy All-American on Monday at the gym for a story that ran in today's Palm Beach Post in advance of the Seminoles' taking the field Monday in defense of their national title.
O'Leary is a fourth-year senior who is considered among [More]
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher says Jameis Winston has plenty of room to improve
- 8:20 am Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
Jameis Winston became the most decorated freshman in college football history last season, capturing nearly every award possible while winning the national championship.
Still, when Jimbo Fisher was asked at the ACC media days this week to list the areas in which the defending Heisman Trophy winner who threw for 4,057 yards, 40 TDs and led the nation in passing efficiency can improve, it was longer than you may think.
"I think he's continually getting better fundamentally," Fisher said. "As a player you have to continue to grow yourself physically, and his footwork, his eye movement, his eye control, looking guys off [More]
FSU receiver Travis Rudolph should be ready for camp after foot surgery
- 3:47 pm Saturday, July 12th, 2014 by Tom D'Angelo
Incoming freshman wide receiver Travis Rudolph, the former Cardinal Newman standout, recently had surgery on his left foot but is expected to be healed in time for the start of Florida State's preseason practice Aug. 4.
Coach Jimbo Fisher said Rudolph hurt his foot while in high school. Rudolph has been wearing a walking boot since the surgery.
"He had a little bone that they put a screw in," Fisher said. "He shouldn't miss any camp. He came in, he worked out for a while, and we saw it was aggravating him."
Rudolph, 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, was a 247Sports five-star receiver. He caught [More]

The RV park is quite nice and not crowded. We have several empty spaces to each side which is great. Our route back to I 5 is better than our route coming here.
We will be back in Washington tomorrow but plan for a Sunday arrival home.
Sorry no ...
First day in Portland
... and not via Skype! They all walk home together chatting away. We had been telling William he is not allowed to touch the Lego, but once their cousins are home they got them all out and had a long play together. It was great seeing all the kids playing together, and we had a great home cooked meal for dinner. Getting late, we had to head back to our motel, but we are looking forward to more time in Portland ...

MEDIATION: Avoiding the Perils of Court.
* * * Our mediation office * * *
It's no secret. Everyone knows that divorce can be a very costly, emotionally difficult process, with serious long term consequences for you, your spouse and your children. When you add emotional upheaval to financial disputes, the mixture can be a disaster.
Fortunately, there is a better way.
Mediation is a process you use to arrive at a binding legal agreement that becomes a Judgment of the court, while avoiding expensive legal fees and without you having to go in front of a Judge.
In the past, divorcing couples would often engage in a long and costly legal battle leading up to court. Then they would hand over extremely important decisions about their children, their property and their finances to a very busy judge with hundreds of other cases to decide. Even with the best intentions, judges have very little flexibility and even less room for creative solutions. Now, with mediation, it's different. Here, you and your spouse are the ones in charge of the specific details and the overall outcome of your case. You make the decisions.

For as long as there has been marriage, there has been divorce. Early Egyptians, Greeks and Romans practiced divorce. Even Deuteronomy, written approximately 4000 years ago, has explicit rules and procedures about divorce. In fact, there are reports of a recent discovery of cave paintings in Southern France showing an obviously angry man and woman fighting over cave furniture and a stack of bearskins. Yup, you guessed it, there are obnoxious looking warriors standing by their side, waving clubs and growling at each other.

String validation
Hi guys, got a slight problem. I grab data from my internal system, and I need to pass it to an external system which wants it in another format. So I get a customer name like so
$strName = $_POST['customer'];
John Smith
John Wayne Smith
John & Smith
The system I need to pass it too requires it to be
So a firstname and a surname. If my String contains only 1 word (no surname), surname will have to be set to 000. Anything which is empty should be 000 (so if my string is completely empty, both firstname and surname would be 000). But then how could I split my String bearing in mind that the deliminator could essentially be anything?
In summary, I have one String which could be anything. How do I get this correctly into 2 Strings?
Any advice on this problem appreciated.

With the way you are currently allowing names to be entered there is no way to tell what part of the name is the surname.
For example:
Peter Allan Smith
here Smith is the surname and the spot to break it is the second space.
Peter Smith
now the surname is the part after the first space
George van der Who
again the surname is after the first space but itself now contains spaces
Smith, George
here someone has entered their surname first
Given that the field can currently contain the name in any format the safest way to handle it would be to split the one field into two in your system so that you have a separate field for each part of the name to be passed to the other system. That way you only need to deal with splitting the names already in your database and any future ones will be correctly split by their owners. Then you can do an analysis of the names that you currently have stored in order to work out how best to split those specific names into the two fields. For example if you don't have any names that look like the last two examples I listed then splitting on the last space might be a good starting point and then consider what exceptions to make from there. If you have lots of examples of the last of my examples then first testing for a comma and taking the surname as whatever precedes it might be the first test.

I am so excited to be partying with all of you Crafting Chicks readers today! I am McKenzie, a lifestyle/beauty blogger from Girl Loves Glam. I can't even tell you how excited I am that it is finally Spring! Even though the weather in Idaho isn't as happy and springlike as I would hope, I still enjoy adding some springtime charm to my house to make it feel bright and fresh. I knew I wanted to create a sign that also had some sort of natural element in it. I absolutely love wood grain so I chose to create a super cute Spring sign on a wood slice. Of course I needed to add some gold glam to it too! I am kind of obsessed with how it turned out. It is modern and fun! It was so easy to make too.

Glittery Valentine Candy Dishes
Disclaimer: This project is sponsored by Elmer's. Do you love this playfulness of Valentine's Day like I do? I love to add a little fun flare to my Valentine's decor and what better way then with GLITTER! I decided the best way to do that this year was to add that fun sparkle to some plain white dishes, some in cute heart shapes. I snagged some Elmer's Craft Bond Glitter and got to work. I followed all package directions and made sure my dishes were clean and ready to go. Applied the included glue, just a thin layer, and then let the glittery fun begin. I shook off the excess glitter and then let the dishes set so the glue could dry completely before I did anything else. Next, I took some Elmer's Glue-All and put a thin layer of that over top of the glitter so that it would seal it in. I don't plan on washing these pieces in my dishwasher [Read More...]Pin It

Back in 1974, Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorofsky began the ambitious project of translating sci-fi 1965 novel Dune to the big screen. Although Jodorofsky's adaptation of the extraterrestrial story eventually fell apart because no Hollywood studio would finance the avant-garde, pricey film, the 1965 novel by American author Frank Herbert later inspired a book saga, a 1984 film, a three-part mini series in 2000, and even a comic book series.
