Page name dilemma
26 January 2013 at 10:42am
I am having a problem with naming a page.
I have mailed a product out and put in a "readme" file on the disc with a link that points back to my site ... but ... I called the link "www.mysite/readme.html" by mistake. Now that I have been warned by some of my clients, I find that I cannot create a page called "readme.html" on my SilverStripe site. Is there a way around this? When I try to save a page created as "readme.html" it saves it as "readme-html" Arghh!
Am I missing something?
Re: Page name dilemma
29 January 2013 at 4:42am
You can use any suffix you like. Just create a 'readme' page.
Both works.
Re: Page name dilemma
29 January 2013 at 6:16am
Thanks for the help and links.
I created a "readme.html" but the page keeps getting renamed to "readme-html". Am I doing something wrong?

Devlin is right - I hadn't noticed this! In ss3 seems you don't need to change the pagename: readme.html will automatically redirect to readme... It doesn't look like this works out of the box in 2.4.x though, at least not on my sites (?).
Changing .html to -html is normal SilverStripe behaviour. Have you considered adding a redirect readme.html to readme in your .htaccess file?
Re: Page name dilemma
29 January 2013 at 4:04pm
Hi Devlin and Marti,
Marti: thanks for the tip. I will just put a redirect as you said till it's no longer needed, seems like the most reasonable choice.
Devlin: nice to see that ss3 will not have this problem. Just one less thing to worry about when we make such a mistake.
Re: Page name dilemma
29 January 2013 at 9:16pm
This works with 2.4.x too.
e.g. 2.4.9
Re: Page name dilemma
30 January 2013 at 11:20am
Unless I am wrong, we are using v.2.4.6 (at our last upgrade the version of SilverStripe disappeared from the admin windows). It won't let me add the dot before "html" extender -> ".html" but keeps changing it to "-html" both at the page name an at URL level. It sounds like something that may have been corrected in newer versions of 2.4.x.
BTW ... is there a way to check which version we are on? Our IT guy is off on a short vacation. ;-)
Re: Page name dilemma
30 January 2013 at 9:34pm
You don't need a 'readme.html' page at all. Just create one simple 'readme' page with a plain 'readme' as the URLSegment. Then open up your website, go to mysite.com/readme/ and change the trailing slash to '.html'... This works out of the box unless you did some fancy stuff with the controller. If this is the case, then you should define a redirect in your .htaccess file as martimiz suggested.
I have mailed a product out and put in a "readme" file on the disc with a link that points back to my site ... but ... I called the link "www.mysite/readme.html" by mistake.
I've read your post again and it occured to me that there is no TLD in your link. Well if you forgot the top level domain in your link (the .com thingy), then I'm afraid there is nothing you can do.
is there a way to check which version we are on?
Yeah. Install SS 2.4.9 at once -- or when you IT guy is back from vacation.

Coping with Breakup Depression
What could be more devastating than breaking up with the one you love? Aside from the loss of the relationship, the shared dreams and commitments that have turned into failures and disappointments are also painful. You'll go through cycles of sadness, pain, and unrequited feelings as you relive your happy memories. This might cause your serotonin and dopamine levels to drop and trigger depression. As if the breakup is not difficult enough, going through depression would make things a lot harder.
To avoid these triggers from developing into full-blown depression, consider the following tips to help refresh your way of thinking after a much-dreaded breakup:
- Share your time and feelings with the important people in your life. Having emotional and social support systems could make you feel stable and thus prevent depression.
- Don't fight your feelings; cry and release them all. Keeping the feelings of sadness, pain, anger, resentment, disappointment, fear, and all things negative will just slow down your healing process.
- Accept that it may be over for you and your partner, but it is not the end of your life. Remember that if something good has come to an end, something even better could come along.
It is normal for people to hit rock bottom and feel terribly sad and hopeless at a certain point, but it doesn't mean that you have to stay that way forever. At the end of the day, only you could help yourself stand up and see through a new and enlightened perspective.

The news and trends in the Charlottesville market are mostly good.
- Distressed sales are down (but they're still out there)
- Well-priced homes that are turnkey are typically going under contract in under 60 days. Quality inventory remains a challenge.
- Prices seem to be up across the board.
- Note that these are broad overall trends. Long-time readers know my caveats that "single family homes in Charlottesville City" means all single family homes in the City of Charlottesville … those that are priced below $200k and those that are priced above $600k … and everything above, below and in between. See the chart below for a reasonable justification for questioning all data.

Compromise, due diligence required to make wise purchase decision
Compromise, due diligence required to make wise purchase decision
Dian Hymer
Inman News®
Many pundits believe that now is a good time to buy a home. Interest rates are low and are predicted to be higher by the end of next year. Home prices are still low in many places. And, there are indications that prices are starting to rise, at least in major metropolitan areas. From June to July, the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index rose 1.6 percent in 20 big cities in the nation.
Although buyers are clamoring to buy, don't make the mistake of buying now just because many people are house hunting. Before jumping into the fray, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Are you prepared for the responsibilities and risks of homeownership?
Unlike renting, where the landlord usually pays for maintaining the property, you are responsible for repairs when you own. And, it's ongoing.
Most buyers don't factor in the cost and time of maintenance into their homebuying decision. It's a must to keep up on maintenance for your personal enjoyment of the property and to protect its value. Deferred maintenance can diminish your net proceeds when you sell.
HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Buying is a more permanent commitment than renting. Real property is not a liquid asset. You can't cash in a home like you can a bond or stocks. You shouldn't buy if you don't plan on staying in your home for a reasonable period of time, say five to 10 years. If you're not forced to sell your home in a down market, you can avoid a loss.
2. Can you afford to buy a home with the amenities you need in a location where you want to live?
Contact a mortgage broker or loan agent to find out how much you can afford to pay. Then, consider your personal financial situation and determine how much you feel comfortable paying. In some places, it's actually less expensive to own than to rent a home because rents have skyrocketed. And, there are tax benefits associated with owning your home that aren't available to renters.
Once you know how much you are able and willing to pay, find out what sort of housing is available in neighborhoods where you'd like to live. You can do some of this research on the Internet. Search by area to see what's available in your price range. Attend Sunday open houses to get a feel for what kind of home you can expect to buy.
3. Are you willing to compromise?
The perfect home does not exist. So, you will have to compromise to some extent. Make a list of the features you need and want in a home. Then prioritize the list. For example, you may want to have four bedrooms but can live with three if the home has the other essentials you need.
4. Are you willing to take the time and make the effort to carry out due diligence investigations in order to ensure that you make a wise purchase decision?
You can't delegate this important step to someone else. A good real estate agent will help you make good choices. However, you are the decision-maker.
In addition to having the property thoroughly inspected by qualified inspectors, you need to find out if there is any reason why you shouldn't buy a property you're considering. Is there any change in the neighborhood that will impact its value, like a freeway due to be built nearby that will create a noise nuisance? Try to keep your emotions in check and don't dismiss negative news about the home you love, or pay too much.
THE CLOSING: Homebuying is a lot of work and can be stressful. The benefit is that you will be master of your own domain, which could increase in value over time and improve your net worth when you sell.
Dian Hymer, a real estate broker with more than 30 years' experience, is a nationally syndicated real estate columnist and author of "House Hunting: The Take-Along Workbook for Home Buyers" and "Starting Out, The Complete Home Buyer's Guide."

For a wedding guest, the food might be one of the most important parts of the wedding. Food leaves a lasting impression. Serving quality, delicious food leaves a guest feeling like they were important enough to be included in the special day.
Local catering company, Catering by the Bay in Edgewater prides itself on its delicious food and creativity when it comes to creating a wedding menu.
Co-owner Nadine Smith has been catering weddings for over eight years. She said Catering by the Bay is unique because it doesn't have a set menu.
"When brides and grooms call and ask for a menu, I tell them I don't have a specific menu, but I ask what can't you live without. Is it crab, or goat cheese, what do you absolutely need, then we create the meal around the bride and groom. We look at the 'flavor' of their personality and what they want—and their budget," Smith said.
Smith said that they are more of a creative caterer.
One wedding she remembers well, involved a Naval Academy officer who had traveled all over the world who wanted food and wines from South Africa, Italy and Washington state.
"We came up with three unique menus," Smith said.
Smith said an emerging trend nowadays is people are putting more money into food and less money into a traditional wedding.
"People aren't big on lines or waiting, they don't want their guests waiting in a line. So a trend we are seeing is tableside service. Another trend is standing and visiting while grazing on food from lots of different locations. It's popular because it allows for more movement around the reception," Smith said.
Another trend is the type of food being served.
"This isn't your grandmother's wedding anymore. People are more health conscious. We are no longer seeing heavy sauces and mashed potatoes. Rather, its lighter, healthier meals. We are seeing a lot of salads and fruit," Smith said.
Smith also said venues on the water fit with an upscale Caribbean feast with lots of fish. Smith said flank steak is also very trendy.
Another popular trend is brides and grooms wanting to highlight the flavor of Maryland with a garden-to-plate meal with a lot of Maryland produce. In the summer you might see corn, tomatoes, crab and that little bit of southern flare.
Julie St. Marie of Party Girls Catering in Edgewater said that Maryland is definitely a theme she sees among brides and grooms.
"People always want something with crab—as an appetizer or a main course. There are a lot of seafood lovers," St. Marie said.
Party Girls operates out of the American Legion kitchen in Mayo. "Without a storefront, we are able to keep our costs lower. More couples are paying for their own weddings these days, and they want to try to save money where they can. They are getting more involved in the decision-making on food, decor, centerpieces, cakes, everything," she said.
Party Girls said that they already have eight spring weddings for 2011. "Last year fall was busy, this year it looks like spring is going to busy," St. Marie said.
Amy Daniels of Palate Pleasers in Annapolis said a popular food for weddings is a polenta bar with assorted toppings like seared salmon or roasted wild mushrooms. Also slow-cooked items like beef. She also sees a lot of Maryland requests like, jumbo lump crab cakes, buttermilk fried chicken, Maryland ham biscuits with mustard butter and all the summer produce. She said they tend to get the Maryland requests when a bridal party has a lot of guests from out-of-town.
Daniels said Palate Pleasers works with the tastes of the bride and groom to make the meal unique.
"We prefer to meet with the bride and groom and interview each other so we can brainstorm and come up with ideas of what they want together," Smith said.
Smith recalled a time when a bride from Trinidad wanted her family's chicken recipe to be served. The woman taught her the recipe and how to make it. Smith said it was a lot of fun.
"Cakes are needed for a wedding. It's really important to show the couples personality," Smith said.
"We are seeing two trends right now with cakes. A very simple two-three tier cake with nothing to it, maybe a couple of flowers. The other trend is a theme cake, where the bride and groom get to put their personality and their flare into their cake," Smith said.
Smith said the simpler cake is often budget-driven.
St. Marie agreed. "People don't want to spend the money they did in the past on cakes, which can be expensive, with fondant and tiers," St. Marie said. "Cake pricing is based on how many guests there are. Now people say, 'can we have a two-tiered cake and then maybe a sheet cake that we can cut to eat?'
St. Marie added that a lot of people watch shows like Food Network's Ace of Cakes, which makes specialty cakes look quick and easy.
"Duff [Goldman from Ace of Cakes] doesn't do a cake under $3,000. People think you can get cakes like that for the price of a Sam's Club cake, and you can't. It is very labor-intensive," St. Marie said.
"A lot of people don't want to pay more for a cake and they don't want it to look like they are over spending. They are more conscientious," Smith said.
"We have a cake right now that is a three tier cake with a triathlon theme. Each tier has something to do with the race. And it's because that is what the bride and groom do. Another cake we did was all white with tiny red crabs crawling up the four tiers," Smith said.
Whether a wedding reception is stand-up or sit-down, caterers recommend making sure that the venue allows outside catering—some only allow catering from a limited list of service providers. In addition, make sure to get with the caterer early in the planning stages, especially during spring and fall wedding seasons when venues get booked early. Most caterers offer private tastings for those in the market for a wedding or large party.

Watching film and television lately I've picked up on subtle and sometimes sequins and neon emblazoned jabs at Jesus, Christians, and Christianity as a whole.
Honestly I understand why it happens. Those who spew hate and other sheer foolishness in the name of God can cause onlookers to wonder, "Who are these people and is there still a purpose for the God they serve?"
But as it becomes more and more common place for "artists," to rely on themselves and bluntly eliminate God from the equation, I wonder where that leaves groups so traditionally steeped in the spirit.
For much of history, African Americans deeply-rooted faith, has not only colored personal, but creative life. There was, and still is, an underlying if not innate desire to put forth stories with an intent to not only entertain, but leave the atmosphere better, warmer and forever change, after the credits rolled and the lights rose.
Even when the message being delivered was a call to step out of the shadows, and to fight for a place in the sun, there was still a moral compass.
If we succumb to mounting pressure that says we are all we need; that God is myth and his word metaphor… If we turn away from the very thing that has kept many of us together in our personal lives and caused us to stand out in our creative ones; will we fall prey to greatly compromising our integrity, rather than aiding in shaping the world around us?
Instead of speaking to the heart, will we play to baser human nature in order to elicit response? Relying on emotions like fear or parlor tricks, and shallow spectacle to gain an audience?
Has it already begun?
I'm concerned. Am I the only one?
Blackman | December 6, 2012 2:50 AM
I believe in the CREATOR. whomever in the fugg that is. I meditate and get right with nature, consciousness and the universe NOT this Sick Insane MONEY,POWER, NARCISSISTIC and Materialistic world. I am also tired of Christians. Especially the hypocritical judgmental kind, yesterday a semi=drunk woman was telling everybody to REPENT in the name of jesus. lol. I BELIEVE in the Creative Spirit. I do NOT believe in Gods. Especially, european gods given to Black people during slavery. Btw, What in the hell have that god did to advance Blacks. (STOP! for every step forward you can name, I can name TWO steps backward). Moreover, myths are just that MYTHS. And hanging onto to 2000 year old parables is ludicrous. Here is a question, How many times have you heard Billionaires "Thank Jesus?" (okra don't count). In essence the "creative spirit" is living YOUR LIFE through YOUR OWN path. Your own lived experiences. NOT some outside entity that you pray away your POWER TOO. I never externalize power. the creator do not need my worship, money or rituals.
Robert A. Hayes | December 5, 2012 10:45 PM
At this point what we've chosen in this life to believe or not to believe is surely not debatable... and what we'll face after this is surely not optional... might as well go boldly on your paths.
Troy | December 5, 2012 2:45 PM
I believe the image is more pointed than the article. The non-existent monolith that is African Americans should not be the subjected demo but Black Women should be. American black women are the most Christian leaning group in America. Their struggles for gaining broader media appeal seems to be the only thing in the way of them Willie Lynching us to salvation. Strong Christian values seems to be the only motivation for the advancement of colored people. Hey we're African American now, you know equal to all those European Anericans whose strong Christian values motivated them to extoll freedom of religion, to fight the war on Christmas, and declare Christianity a philosophy not a religion. Diatribe to say: The Creative Spirit embodies the totality of the applicators arsenal. The said, if not for pre-association with (a) God many people would have nothing creative to articulate. So I'm not for the separation of art and any God. Odds are the jokes the writer heard were written by Jews. You know the ones with a religion older than Christians and Muslims. They tend to not take other religions too seriously.
Muse | December 5, 2012 12:46 PM
I was disappointed by this article because I was expecting specific examples from tv shows and films to support your argument. What happened to the golden rule of writing: show, don't tell? This is not a typical S&A caliber essay. What's a particular scene from a show that illustrates your point about taking "neon emblazoned jabs at Jesus, Christians, and Christianity as a whole"?
Fariso Jordan | December 4, 2012 8:03 PM
This article is so relevant to me as I am working to grow my profession as an artist who is Christian. First, all I can say is that for me, personally, it is impossible for me to separate creativity from God. And I would never want to. I don't know how others are able to find success without Him. The best part about co-creating with God: I don't have to try so hard. The other best part about it: When led by His creativity, it is impossible for me to fail. Just think about it. God is the most creative entity alive. He created the universe, He created all of the different types of flowers and fingerprints and ethnicities and landscaping. As an artist who loves God, I am so empowered to be attached to His same type of creativity. My well will never, ever run dry. It goes on and on and on just like God goes on and on and on. People say, "there is nothing new under the sun" but with God I know that I am over the sun so my original God ideas continue to flow through me and I am so grateful for that. I wish that everyone would at least give it a try and overcome the false stereotypes of God Himself, and what Christian art really is. Working through God's creativity is the most inspirational, powerful, productive, original, necessary, impossible to fail type of work that can ever be done.
Tamara | December 4, 2012 4:20 PM
Instead of speaking to the heart, will we play to baser human nature in order to elicit response? ... I thought of Beasts of the Southern Wild when I read this query. Particularly the feel of primeval I got from the piece; the fecundity of earth; the "base" nature of satisfying hunger and thirst literally and figuratively to coincide with "base" nature of satisfying human emotion in all forms: longing, lust, anger, shame, etc. I think Beasts... elicited a particularly familiar emotional response from me -sans- any mention of Christianity. Creating some such tale as Beasts without soliciting the input of one's belief can still be achieved without sacrificing the moral compass...or whatever. Furrowing my brow here.
Jeni | December 4, 2012 2:59 PM
After reflecting on it, I get what you're saying, but you needed to be blunt about it. I'm a Christian, and I am finding that TV writers are now frequently using blatant blasphemy to seem edgy. It's one thing to make jokes about shared religious experiences, quite another to slander scripture and religious figures. I started noticing this trend during the Bush administration, and it was like Comedy Central's key stars started doing it in reaction to religious conservatives in the media. Honestly, this weekend I probably turned from or discontinued watching no less than four programs/movies because of flagrantly offensive content specifically written to provoke Christians. I don't see similar jokes/comments in regard to Islam or Judaism, so I wonder why network censors are allowing it re Christianity. Comedy Central and Adult Swim are the worst offenders, but I've seen it on Fox and CBS as well. I'm actually surprised that the megachurch pastors aren't speaking out about it, but the best way to get rid of offensive content is to change the channel and hit the content creators/distributors in their pocketbooks.
Vanessa Martinez | December 4, 2012 12:05 PM
I believe that God is way more sensible, complex and intelligent than people give him credit for. A reason why I don't believe in organized religion is because of its limiting views and restrictions outside of a book that has been interpreted by humans through centuries. You can have your believe in God or a "higher power/divinity" and still explore your talents while living in this world. God gave us talents and free will for a reason. He would want us to use them and feel good about them. I think everyone needs to find what works for them in order to find spiritual fulfillment and happiness. God, peace, love, art & the expression of our human condition all co-exist in my world.
Jasmine | December 4, 2012 12:02 PM
So I am Christian and an artist. I get what this piece was trying to get at; it is frustrating to hear from all sides that what you do and believe is foolish in any regard. However this piece is unfortunately worded in that didactic "us vs them" mentality. This should be for black Christians to ponder over but is instead worded for blacks as a whole, which as some have already pointed out, isn't fair.
theyounglion | December 4, 2012 11:55 AM
You seem to be coming from the viewpoint that belief in "God" should be the norm, and anything else is abnormal. You're also assuming that works that "leave the atmosphere better, warmer" and promote "forever change" need to be rooted in religious belief. (That sounds like that belief some people actually still have that having a moral compass requires belief in a god.) And I don't see how taking "God" out of the equation is "compromising our integrity". I respect and appreciate African American artists that take their cues from spirituality and/or religion, especially if the work is well done. But I also respect and appreciate African American artists that bring a decidedly non-religious perspective to their work, especially since those artists are pretty much in the minority.
FutureDiplomat | December 4, 2012 11:54 AM
If more African American artists "succumb to mounting pressure that says we are all we need", and perhaps realize that it is not a deity, rather their own tenacity and strength that aids their successes, I believe it is for the better.
The Harlem Renaissance was led by many Atheists and Freethinkers; perhaps a similar artistic movement will be led by Blacks of their same ilk. This doesn't concern me - it makes me very optimistic about the future of the African American artist in the creative world.
niksmit | December 4, 2012 11:29 AM
I'm not an artist, but I am an African American. My lack of belief in a God has not compromised my personal integrity. You acknowledged those who spew foolishness in the name of God, so you already know that integrity and religious faith don't go hand in hand.
I respect the historical role of the church in African American history, but there have always been non-believers in it. People still need to come together to create and maintain community, but I don't believe that a shared religious belief is the only way to do that.
Winston | December 4, 2012 11:24 AM
Wow . . . where to begin? I'm concerned that this propaganda is even posted on Shadow and Act. First, I wish people would stop lumping all blacks in America as bible-thumping Christians. Blacks in this country, and all over the world, hold a variety of faiths. How about showing a little consideration for those of us who don't believe in the same doctrine? This post-- not cool.

Many people who oppose legal abortion or who only weakly support legal abortion will often focus their objections on the idea of "abortion on demand." They see something wrong with abortion being readily available. But if abortion is not available when women want it ("on demand"), what is the point of it being legal? If abortion is legal because women should be able to make autonomous decisions about what happens to their bodies, how can abortion not be made available when they demand it?
The answer is that people who oppose abortion on demand oppose the idea that women can be trusted to make autonomous decisions about what happens to their own bodies, an attitude which can be traced directly back to traditional, patriarchal, religious attitudes towards religion. This is most clearly the case with anti-choice activists who don't hide the fact that they want the state to have the power to make decisions for women, but it's also true for weak abortion supporters. They agree to the imposition of waiting periods, required sonograms, and other measures which imply that they don't really believe that a woman who goes to a clinic for an abortion has thought it through, knows what she is doing, or can be trusted to make the right choice.
In Why I Am An Abortion Doctor, Suzanne T. Poppema writes:
[W]e would eschew self-imposed waiting periods and do the procedures the very same day. Our attitude was: We trust women to have already thought very seriously about the abortion and all their alternatives before they come to us, and we respect the decision they make. [...]
My belief was that of course women are moral agents and would have thought about their options and decisions before coming here. Of course there shouldn't be a rule that you have to (a) have your physical exam, then (b) have all your options counseling by somebody else, and then (c) have to go home and think about it, and then (d) come back another day. We don't call this sort of runaround "intimidation" anymore, though that's precisely what it amounts to. Instead, lawmakers lump all this procedural hoop-jumping together under the label "informed consent," which is a euphemism for "women can't possibly know what's best for their own bodies so we're going to insist that they sit and listen to what the state thinks they should hear." [...]
A woman who comes to see us about abortion needn't explain herself or her situation to us. If she wants to end a pregnancy, that's her business, not ours — and certainly not the state's. It never ceases to amaze me to hear the expression: "Abortion on demand." What would the alternative be? Abortion by prayer? By edict? Upon seeking consensus? After groveling? Women have thought long and hard about this decision before they ever get to my clinic. In fact, most of them have been agonizing for days or even weeks, some to the extent of rescheduling their appointments several times. [emphasis added]
Religious conservatives would like to place all sorts of restrictions on women's ability to obtain abortions. They can't ban abortion outright, but they can perhaps make abortion so difficult to manage that women will be less likely to choose it — thus making it a theoretical choice, but not a practical choice. This is already the situation for many women in America because abortion providers are located much too far away to reach conveniently even if they could obtain an abortion on the first visit, never mind if they are required to make a second appointment after a waiting period.
Poppema is right — what she describes above is a form of intimidation. Anti-choice activists don't approve of the choices which some women make and, not being able to ban those choices outright, engage in manipulation, intimidation, and outright bullying in order to make those choices more difficult to realize. That is their ultimate goal — not things like education, as they like to claim — and that's why such intimidation must be prevented.
The intimidation being used by the Christian Right is justified be their conviction that women cannot be allowed or trusted to make these moral decisions themselves — that the state knows better what should happen to a woman's body than she does. The intimidation assumes that unless the state intervenes, women can't be trusted to think this through, to inform themselves, or to understand what they are doing.
Polices like waiting periods may sound reasonable in isolation because who wants to argue that there is something wrong with stopping to think about a serious decision? If this were a reasonable justification for waiting periods with abortion, it would also justify waiting periods before voting — but who would deny that forcing people to go to polling stations twice or more (especially if they are difficult to reach) would be a form of disenfranchisement?
Women's choices about what happens to their own bodies must be respected if women's equality and autonomy is to be respected. It's paternalistic to assume that they haven't already thought about their choices and that they need more time, perhaps in the hope that they will make a different choice altogether. It's true that some women may regret their choice to have an abortion, but part of being an autonomous adult is making choices you may regret later and living with that.

The room was large, extremely clean and SUPER comfortable. They have probably the best mattresses we have slept on in all of south east Asia.

Charlie Bowen is a writer, teacher and web designer. He lives in Huntington.
I would love to say I got interested in computers because of my abiding desire to find rare prime numbers. Or to aid in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Or to write a great novel or to compose the next top 40 hit.
The truth is I wanted to kill giant bombardier beetles on Level 3 of "The Temple of Apshai."
It was 1980 and I was working on the city desk of a daily newspaper. Since it was a morning paper, I usually worked late into the night, but as a perk, I had the early shift on Thursdays. That meant that, since my wife worked nights, I was left to my own devices on Thursday evening each week.
About that time, my old friend Stewart Schneider bought one of the first personal computers in the area, a shiny new TRS-80 Model 1 from Radio Shack. Now, I don't share Stew's mathematical bent, so initially I couldn't work up much enthusiasm for his new digital delight. But then one spring Thursday he called to say, "So, how do you feel about searching for treasure and battling ant men and zombies?"
Suddenly, I had a plan and a mission for my Thursday nights.
"The Temple of Apshai," a role-playing game from Epyx, was the first monster hit in the early days of PCs, selling tens of thousands of copies each year during the early 1980s. Since graphics on those early machines were comically simple compared to today's high-definition standards, this dungeon and dragon game required players use a lot of imagination. You had to squint your mind a bit to transform that plain "X" lumbering across the flickering gray screen into, say, what the user manual described as "melon-sized copper-red beetles capable of generating tremendous heat within their bodies with which they attack their prey."
The game also required some mapping skills. With stick-figure minimalism, the screen displayed only one "room" at a time; it was up to you to draw your map on a legal pad in order to record how you got to this point in the dank dungeon and, more importantly, how you planned to get back out with any booty you managed to swipe from the beetles and other boogiemen you had battled.
The puzzle-solving aspect of Apshai — and of the thousands of other games it would inspire in the decades ahead — is what kept us coming back. Problem solving was, and still is, the powerful hook in this kind of gaming.
Eventually some began to view this with alarm. "Video game addiction" became a hot topic in pop psychology circles. I never knew if this was a real condition or merely fodder for master theses. However, I too would eventually become concerned about the siren song of computer games. In fact, when I left the newspaper in 1985 to become a full-time freelance writer, I included computer gaming in my list of "no-no's" for my new home office, right alongside no television during the day and no more than three cups of coffee.
To this day as a work-from-home freelancer, I still am reluctant to get too interested in those potentially habit-forming computer games. However, once a year I break my rule. In the week between Christmas and New Year's and the first week of the new year, I treat myself to one game as a kind of late Christmas present to myself.
Last year it was a great little puzzler for the iPad called "The Room" with super graphics and a great storyline. This year I was pleased to find that game's publisher, Fireproof Games, had released a sequel, and, if anything, it is even better than the original. I recommend either of these games for anyone looking for some mental gymnastics before heading back to the grind.
The fact that I go into the new year a tad more rejuvenated as result of my tiny retreat into computer recreation has got me rethinking the role of games in our lives.
I'm certainly not alone in this. Consider a recent study from the Education Development Center and the U.S. Congress-supported Ready To Learn Initiative, which found a curriculum that involved digital media such as computer games could actually improve early literacy skills when coupled with strong parental and teacher involvement.
Meanwhile, things sometimes have a curious way of coming full circle. Recently I watched games and newspapering intersect again in my life. Last fall, as I was looking for a textbook to use with my journalism students at Marshall University, I came across the work of Kathleen Hansen at the University of Minnesota's J-school. Hansen has begun to explore "serious games" in news. To do this she creates news simulation environments that let citizens play through a complex, evolving news story by interacting with the newsmakers. (Google "newsgames" online for hours of reading on this fascinating subject).
So, Stew and I, as we tromped through the gore and gloom of our Apshai dungeon all those decades ago, were actually doing important advance work for the serious strategies of the new millennium. I do wish we had thought of that explanation at the time, as we met the skeptical stares of wives, friends and loved ones. If we had, we might even have become the first computerists to use what's become our era's rationale du jour. "Uh, well ... it's complicated."

Anton Kuivanen defeated Mitch Clarke by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
The UFC 149 curtain jerker between Anton Kuivanen and Mitch Clarke was an entertaining ground battle, but Kuivanen came out on top with a close split-decision victory. Clarke controlled the first round and almost finished the fight, but Kuivanen bounced back with some good wrestling and control to turn the fight around.
Clarke looked for a takedown early in the first round but couldn't put Kuivanen on his back. Clarke grinded away against the cage for a while, then eventually got a body lock and slammed him to the ground. Clarke looked for a guillotine but Kuivanen reversed position. Clarke looked for an armbar from the bottom and almost locked it up, but Kuivanen escaped. Clarke round his back for the rest of the round looking for a kimura.
Clarke was on top early in the second, but Kuivanen was able to reverse. Both men looked for a variety of submissions, and ended the round looking for duel leglocks and throwing punches. They smiled at each other after the bell.
Kuivanen worked on the ground in the third, looking for a variety of submissions such as guillotines and arm-triangles, but nothing was successful. Clarke looked for a kimura from the bottom. Clarke was finally able to reverse briefly and they returned to the feet. Clarke scooped a single leg and worked hard for a takedown but Kuivanen used Clarke's own momentum to roll through and take top position once again. Kuivanen opened up with punches late and cut Clarke open.

Metro Nashville Schools' Director Dr. Jesse Register announced some major changes to the school system including reorganizing the central office and adding additional lead principals.
During a news conference Wednesday morning it was announced that there will be an increase in the number of lead principals at Metro schools.
Currently nine lead principals oversee several schools in additional to their own.
Under the new plan, each lead principal will work with five or six other principals in a network.
Each principal will be responsible for increasing student achievement as well as evaluating other principals and sharing effective practices across their network of schools.
Dr. Register projects the number of lead principals will increase over the next three years with 30 lead principals in place by the 2015-2016 school year.
The staff at the central office will shrink as additional lead principals are put in place, according to Dr. Register.
"With this approach, we will keep the most highly skilled principals in schools rather than promoting them out, expand their scope of influence to multiple schools and give them ongoing leadership training," he explained.
Each of the lead principals will be selected based on qualifying criteria that includes test data and leadership skills.
With these changes lead principals will also have increased autonomy including final say on all staffing and the flexibility to organize instructional and support staff. They will also have school-based budgeting autonomy so funds can be used flexibly within fiscal guidelines.Robbin Will, principal at McGavock High School, has been tapped to be a lead principal.
"It's got to be a win win for everybody, it really does," said Will, "I don't see how we can't improve. If we don't, somehow we're not doing it right. It's not the process, it's the people who are doing the work."
Will oversees about 2,200 students at McGavock High School and told Nashville's News 2 he's already brainstorming ideas on how to better allocate the school's budget.
"With the economy situation we've had in the last few years, we've had to have some cutbacks in staffing, which means some of my classrooms have gotten large, they're crowded," explained Will, "So if I can some way figure out how to move certain positions where I can bring in more teachers, then that's what I want to do because that's the key."
Will also said he's excited about being more involved in McGavock High School's feeder schools, to create continuity all the way from kindergarten through twelfth grade."I want to be able to influence those principals at the middle schools we're working with," said Will, "I want to be able to influence them to have a program that we're starting in 5th grade and coming all the way through 12th grade."
"The bottom line is, I want to see an influx of best practices when it comes to the teaching and I want to see those taking place, whether it be from top down or bottom up," added Will.
Reporter Erin Holt will have the latest coming up on Nashville's News 2 at 5 p.m.

Welcome to 2002. I'm trying hard to think of something good to say about 2001. The best I can do: It's over. The horrors are all too familiar: the terrorism that turned our lives upside down, the economy that sputtered into recession, the fears of anthrax and God Knows What Else. However, there are some glimmers in the darkness:
First of all, the show went on at LDI. The numbers were strong, if not stunning: 7,000, virtually all of them serious buyers. Oddly enough, LDI2001 garnered some of the best exhibitor response in years. Matthew Griffiths from PLASA wrote, "All the feedback I have had about the quality of visitors has been excellent." Anne Hunter from Apollo Design Technology said, "The show went very well for us." Robert Partridge of Lighting & Electronics added, "The show was one of the best since 1995."
By the way, our LDI coverage, in this month's issue, runs to several thousand words, but it only scrapes the surface of the show. Companies from Abrisa Glass to Tomcat are not mentioned, because we have adhered to a strict policy of reporting on debuts only. Read our expanded coverage at www.lightingdimensions.com for more information about products, a full list of exhibitors, and links to their websites.
There was plenty of innovative technology at the show. High End Systems' Catalyst combines lighting and video. ETC's Emphasis puts all design, record-keeping, and control functions in a single software package. Vari-Lite has made good on the industry grail of a low-cost but functional moving light. Martin's Viro features lighting and sound design — in one unit. There were interesting new products from MA Lighting, Coemar, and Avolites, to name a few. There was even a brand-new player, in Hubbell Entertainment, with a line of automated lights. You'll be reading about these and others all year long, as they roll out.
Also, there are hints of recovery in the industry, with concert tours lining up for the summer, and a full schedule of Broadway shows for the spring. Yes, there's plenty of room for improvement, but in certain markets at least, things are looking up.
There's another thing I can't stop thinking about. Check out Michael Eddy's story on page 34 about the Concert for New York and United We Stand, two benefit events that happened soon after the terrorist attacks. Each show was an emotionally raw experience, but what counts in retrospect is the way so many companies provided their gear, their staff, and their time. To see so many working together in unison for such a good cause is real cause for pride. If we can do that, then 2002 might not be so bad after all.

Every bill that wins the majority vote at Direct Congress is sent to the People's Mandate page. We expect our current elected leaders to endorse and pass into law the thoroughly-vetted bills that Direct Congress approves. A key responsibility of 'DC'-contracted Representatives is to sponsor our popular citizen-created bills in the real U.S. Congress. During phase one before Direct Congress candidates have won Congressional seats, bills that arrive at our online President's Desk will still have a good chance of winning support in our nation's capital. In the near future, laws we create together online will become the law of our land.
Any bill that passes the U.S. Congress and arrives at the President's desk may be vetoed by the President, unless the bill passed with a majority vote greater than two thirds (66.67%). The standard should be the same for Direct Congress passed bills. In the more distant future, the U.S. President may receive bills directly from an online voting forum before deciding to sign the legislation.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Three people are in custody after police say officers caught them red-handed robbing homes in Rochester.
Police say there have been more than 100 robberies in Rochester in just the last 50 days, and though these arrests won't solve them all, it's definitely going to make a dent.
Kirk Peterson, Devon Burke and Anthony Aunan were all taken into custody Thursday after police diligently watched three that were suspected of prior robbers.
Officers began surviellence of their activity at a hotel on the 1800 block of South Broadway Avenue. At about 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning, they saw Peterson suspicously go into an apartment with cash in hand. When they pulled him over, police they found hypodermic needles, heroin and stolen jewelry.
Shortly afterward, officers say they observed Burke and Aunan leaving the hotel and breaking into a home in northwest Rochester. They were arrested after arriving back at the hotel.
Police are still searching the room these three men were in, along with searching their vehicles. They've already recovered electronics, coins and possible other stolen items.
The three in custody are likely responsible for many of the burglaries around the area recently.
Rochester Police Captain Brian Winters says residents can help to avoid future burglaries by, obviously, making sure your home is locked, and by keeping anything that may be enticing out of the site of your windows.
Captain Winters also says that if you see something suspicous going on at a neighbors, be sure and call law enforcement to check it out.

When you start using the app, it has to determine each plant's water needs so you calibrate it by fully watering your plant and then informing Koubachi when the soil becomes dry (or if you want to go hard core, you can buy a $99 Wi-Fi plant sensor to automatically sense your plant's water, temperature, and light needs). With the hope that this new-found tool will help me keep my plants alive, I decided I would finally buy my long-wanted succulents and fiddle leaf fig tree. I don't know what it is about succulents but I absolutely love how they look:
|{The Succulent Source}
|{Terrain via Mint Basil}
I love the fleshy green leaves of the jade plant and while I've only had it about a month, I'm happy to report that it's thriving!
And fiddle leaf fig trees - how can you not love how they look? I have been obsessed with them for quite some time because they are almost like sculptural works of art. Can you envision how much less interesting these rooms would be without the fiddle leaf figs?!
|{Elle Decor}
|{Cecilie Starin}
|{Elle Decor}
|{Cote de Texas}
|{Washington Post}
|{Live and George}
so I bought this rattan storage basket from Target and then transplanted my fiddle leaf fig into a large plastic planter that I nestled snuggly inside the basket and covered with Spanish moss.
Fiddle leaf fig leaves are fabulously large and shiny green - beautiful!
I'll keep you updated about how my new green housemates fare. Do you have a favorite plant in your house that you'd recommend I try?

I like how Painter has constructed the roster. I expect to see 4 winning seasons ahead of us, with us making the NCAA tourney 3-4 times and ranked consistently in the top 20, and we will be darkhorses for a FF.
To move from a top 20 type team that is potentially a FF darkhorse team.....to a top 5-10 ranked roster which would be a clear FF favourite, we probably need one or two NBA early entrant caliber player in the 2015-2016 recruiting class. Another Glenn Robinson would be perfect, but even a Hammons or Landry or Moore (someone good enough to make first team All BIG by their second year) is enough to push us over the hump
Who is that 2015 recruit? Keady got his Big Dog in his 10th year as Purdue headcoach. Next year would be Painter's 10th year, so his Big Dog moment might be coming soon. I suspect Painter will land his highest rated recruit yet, possibly his career defining recruit, sometime in the next few years. Mind you, I am not saying it will be an overall #1 draft pick, but it will be the one that defines his career, for better or for worse.
The four scenarios are
Best Case Scenario. Land a high five star, make the FF. Go down in history books as the best Purdue coach ever.
Likely Scenario 1. Land a high five star, don't make the FF. Be remembered as a coach who was almost as good as that perennial nearly man Keady.
Likely Scenario 2.. Don't land a high five star, make the FF nonetheless. Be remembered as a top tier coach and third rate recruiter.
Worst Case Scenario. No five star, no FF, do not pass go, do not collect $200
2013. Top 30ish team. Expectations are to make the NCAA tourney, making the second round would be exceeding expectations.
2014. Expectations would be NCAA second round or E8, depending whether Hammons stays. If Hammons stays, I'd say a top 15-20 team.
2015. Hammons is gone but with 6 upperclassmen, I expect them to be a fringe top 20, Sweet 16 type squad

Take a trip back to the beginnings of western civilisation and democracy with a visit to Athens, capital of Greece. From the stunning monuments of antiquity to first-class restaurants and shopping, Athens is a dream Greek holiday destination.
Towering over the city is perhaps the most recognisable tourist attraction in Greece, the Acropolis. This UNESCO World Heritage Site represents the ancient city of Athens and has been inhabited as far back as 4,000 BC. However, it was in the 5th century BC that the great Pericles transformed the outcrop with many of its iconic buildings such as the Parthenon and Temple of Athena Nike. This is a great place to start your Athens sightseeing and get a good feel for the layout of the city below.
To get a better understanding of this fascinating site, take a short walk down the hill to the Acropolis Museum, where over 4,000 priceless objects are displayed that trace the religious and cultural history of Athens' Acropolis.
The Agora, sometimes known as the Forum of Athens, gives an insight into the everyday life of the ancient Greeks. The centre of political and public life in ancient Athens, the Agora was a meeting place, administrative building, cultural centre and seat of justice. While most of the site is in ruins, its scale and importance makes it a popular Athens attraction.
Although only a few columns remain of the gigantic Temple of Zeus, it is also worth a stop on your tour of Athens. Work began on the massive structure dedicated to the king of the Olympian Gods, Zeus, in the 6th century BC but wasn't finished until nearly 600 years later during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Hadrian in 132 AD when it was the largest temple in all of Greece. Hadrian is also responsible for another popular Athens landmark, Hadrian's Arch, just in front of the Temple of Zeus. The arch was built to mark the boundary of ancient Athens and the new Roman city of Hadrian.
But not all of Athens' must-see attractions are ancient. The beautiful Neoclassical Royal Palace was built in the 1890s and housed Greece's royal family until the 1930s. It is now a presidential residence and the seat of the Hellenic Parliament, drawing crowds to its imposing façade for photo opportunities.
No Athens tour would be complete without a visit to the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. For the Games of the First Olympiad, Greece decided to rejuvenate the ancient Panathenaic Stadium, which had been used for the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena from 566 – 329 BC. It is still used for sporting events and music concerts, making it the most ancient stadium in use in the world.
After a hard day of Athens sightseeing, consider a visit to the capital's most charming neighbourhood, the Plaka. This is one of the oldest areas of the city, nestled in the shadow of the Acropolis, and is packed full of authentic restaurants, cafes and shops. The streets of the Plaka are closed to traffic making it the perfect place to stroll leisurely or a sip a glass of Ouzo, reflecting on a fascinating Athens vacation.

Close to AirportPosted 15-Jul-2014
Pros: The staff was warm and friendly
Cons: Check in was rough at first. They did not show my reservation on file. They had to search for it. The rooms were small as were the beds.
Location: Lots of restaurants close.
We stayed one night prior to our flight. The room was small and nothing special for the price charged. The staff was very nice, that made up for it. I am a Marriott rewards member and this was probably my worst Marriott experience

Pros: Close to airport bit quiet
Cons: Nothing that I found.
Location: Just stayed one night and did not take in any attractions.
I needed to be near the airport. This hotel was just minutes away. Had a long wait for the shuttle to pick me up due to some misinformation. Didn't seem to be a location to call for the shuttle.

Good food at hotel's tavernPosted 19-May-2014
Pros: Comfort of the beds and bedding covers.
Cons: Breakfast to have variety of different fruits each morning.
Location: Great location!
The comfort of the beds is what I liked the best.Rooms are decent,staff is great;they don't bug you but helpful when you need answers,free breakfast is ok and same every day but at least has variety to choose from.The restaurant in hotel has a very good food at decent prices although I was disappointed with desert as they had to bring it over from a small shop across the hall...Pool is okay and only thing is if you need a cab to get from point a to point b ,consider yourself ripped off as I paid $50 for a ride in an outdated "astro" van,each way from hotel to the premium outlets mall....you may as well opt for a rental car....

I am completely mortified to have to write this, but I originally listed my novel for a free run from Oct 10-14 and I am no longer able to do the free run for those dates. I realize how much time and effort you put into these listings and that any changes are an extreme inconvenience on your part. So, if it isn't possible to change, I understand and will unfortunately have to withdraw my submission from your page. If it is possible to resubmit the dates to Oct 19-23, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
