"Hi VKA,
I had a great experience with my recent order (BAE 1073 MPF). The speed of shipping exceeded my expectations and was VERY pleased about that as that arrived in time for vocal tracking session I had booked. The packing insured that the shipment arrived safely. And the sales staff (Ryan and his assistant Nick) responded quickly to questions regarding the product. And the BAE 1073 MPF sounds fantastic. So glad I purchased the model with the High-Pass Filter as it was a real session-saver. Very pleased with my order and experience with VKA.
Best regards,"

Start from the top and go to the bottom - you can see where my journey began (well after "traveling" down my path for 16 months.) I update along the way, with the latest update written on November 30, 2013. Happy Reading - and let my journey inspire yours. Not sure where the quote came from, but 'NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER'.
WRITTEN SOMEWHERE AROUND DECEMBER 2010 - It's been about 16 months that I have been maintaining my 50 pound weight loss, 30 pounds shy of my ultimate goal. In January 2009, I began my journey to a healthier me. By July 2009 I had hit 162, down from 212.5. But my highest that I know of was 219. I was a woman who was severly lacking self confidence. During the beginning of my journey I was able to dig deep enough to recoup some of that self confidence. I had found enough to sign up and compete in my first sprint triathlon, which took place on September 13, 2009. I did it along side my very cherished Sister-in-law, Jeanne. We began our journey side by side and we achieved this very powerful achievement together. She was so implemental in me feeling strong enough to take on my journey and continue it. Lately I have been feeling a deep fear of gaining this weight back. You'd think that would be reason enough to take my journey to the next level, but I was battling against an equally powerful fear of achieving my goal. Why is achieving my goal so frightening? That is something I continue to explore. I am digging deep into my heart and soul to understand it. I have realized over the last year that although I had 80 lbs. of physical weight to lose I was carrying around much more emotional weight. I'd venture to say closer to 200 pounds of emotional weight needing to be shed. I have come a long way, physically and emotionally and in the grand scheme of things the 30 lbs. I have left are not terribly a lot. The emotional journey is much more difficult. It requires that I dig deep and try to find out why my weight is controlling me. Why I struggle to take control of it. Until right now, I had been letting my fears stifle my progression. I have come very far. I have made healthy changes that are lasting. I still exercise 4-6 times per week, drink 8 cups of water daily, make healthy decisions, among others. But I have slacked in journaling my food, strength training has fell by the wayside, I indulge in treats a little too often and I overdo food in general. So, how do I overcome my fears?? I continue to explore myself and my emotional connection to food. I try to understand and eliminate my fears. I take my exercise up to the next level and I make healthier decisions more often. *** DECEMBER 31, 2010 - UPDATING MY INTRO NOT NECESSARY - ALL THE SAME SUCCESSES AND STRUGGLES REMAIN THE SAME, BUT 2011 IS A NEW YEAR AND I STARTED TO REGROUP LAST WEEK - DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL 2011. SAME 30 POUNDS NEED TO BE GONE AND MY HEALTH REMAINS VERY IMPORTANT. I focused on training for my 2nd triathlon which my husband, John and I did together, on July 18, 2010. This was his first TRI and it took place on our 23rd wedding anniversary. I continue to remind myself that I am worthy and that with every step I take I am that much closer to achieving my ultimate goal, being healthy, physically and emotionally. February 9, 2011 - the journey continues - little changes equals long term results. I won't give up.
UPDATE: September 14, 2011 - apparently my fear of reaching my goals remains - I love rereading my intro, it reminds me of where I was and where I remain. I continue to struggle, but not give up. I know I have fallen back on some old bad habits, but I am aware and trying to move in a healthier direction. I just completed my 3rd Triathlon - again with my SIL, Jeanne (Healthy4Jeanne). It was great. But it was my hardest thus far. It's proof that the slips that I have had are impacting my health. I won't give up - I will continue to explore the meaning behind my struggles and I will reach my weight goals. More importantly, I will reach my SELF-ESTEEM goals - I will be healthier, I deserve it!!!
UPDATE - June 2, 2012 - Again, I read and reflect and realize that I am still traveling down the same path. I don't think at present it's necessarily the best path for me, but it's MY path. I am CHOOSING to be on it. The only way to change my outcome and dissolve my fears is to do something about it. I need to change my path a little. I need to veer off from my "comfort" zone, which really isn't comfortable, yet I guess comfort trumps fear of change. Or maybe it's fear of failure or fear of success. Again, the fears remain and what the fears are remain and I continue to explore them to try to alleviate them. So, what's in my future?? What am I going to do about changing my path? I'm not 100% sure - I need to do a little more thinking. But I DO KNOW that I truly have not given up!!! I still ran a 5k this spring and have already registered for my 4th Triathlon (August 19), A century bike ride (September) and another 5k in October!!! I smile at my challenges today, because I may not be making the progress I want, but I still see how far I've come. Not selling myself short, don't you either!!!
UPDATE - November 30, 2013 - boy the time sure does fly. Why is it that all that I have written remains unchanged? Old habits resurface and soon take over the newer healthier ones. I am not pleased with my choices, yet I don't make different ones. Oh, well, I do for a short time and then I revert back to food trumping any and everything. The one healthy thing that remains is my exercise. I did complete my 4th triathlon. This year I opted to not do one. I did not do the Century bike ride last year, but I did keep active. So, yes, this year I chose not to do another triathlon. I'm not sure why, because I do love it. Sprints are fun. They are short and they allow you to train in various disciplines. I don't get bored. But what I chose to do was some sort of "run" every month. I started in March. They have been mostly 5ks, but I also did a 4 miler and 2 5 milers. Also, when I sprained my ankle in September I opted to pass on that month, The Shape Diva Dash - that was a total bummer, but what i did instead was 2 events in October. Honestly, one of my dreams came true. I have been wanting to take active vacations with my hubby and we did it this year. It was supposed to be in the Smoky Mountains hiking with a large group of people, but a last minute government shut down, closed the National Parks - A big disappointment and a fair amount of money wasted. The coordinators didn't leave us lingering and lazing around though, we were able to hike 13.5 miles one day and 9 the next. It was fun and I was with my cousins, so it still felt like a little treat. The 2nd event for October was a 5K and last Sunday I did The Slattery's Turkey Trot - 5 miles. I was slower, but I did it. I ran it and it was freezing. 5 years ago I would have never signed up for it and if I had I would have looked for every excuse in the book to get out of it, but I didn't. Well worth it!!! I have been blessed to have many people in my life who are aspiring to improve their health too, so I haven't had to do many alone. My blessed running "partners" (we start together, but run and cross the finish separately) are my 22 yo son, Kurt, my great friend, Fran (most have been done with her), a friend I seemingly inspired to run, Tammy and others who have just joined in the fun one way or another. So, I may be 10 pounds heavier and I may not be eating the healthiest, but I haven't given up and I haven't fallen completely back to the OLD Amy. I've stumbled and fallen off the path and remained on the less beneficial path, but I am moving back over. I like the healthier me. I need my confidence back.

Is there a simpler way to chop up a 10lb. block of chocolate other than using a chocolate chipper and a small hammer?
Views: 592
the chisel has a hard plastic handle -- much more durable!
I second the chisel. It's way better than the chipper.
Thanks, I'm going to buy a chisel.
I buy callets for dark chocolate and just use a chipper for the milk chocolate.

New Genes Revealed for Type 1 Diabetes
Researchers discover 3 new genes for type 1 diabetes in large data analysis
THURSDAY, Sept. 29 (HealthDay News) -- New genes associated with type 1 diabetes have been uncovered in a large-scale analysis of genetic data related to the disease.
Researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia examined six large databases for DNA data from about 10,000 people with type 1 diabetes and 17,000 healthy people.
In addition to validating results from previous research, the study authors identified three new mutations in genes involved in protein-protein interactions, inflammation and cell-signaling activity.
The researchers said they didn't expect to find that these gene mutations had any link to type 1 diabetes.
The findings, published online in the Sept. 29 issue of the journal PLoS Genetics, add to overall knowledge about the gene networks involved in type 1 diabetes. A greater understanding of the fundamental biology of the disease could eventually lead to new treatments, the researchers suggested in a hospital news release.
About 200 million people worldwide have type 1 diabetes and must take frequent insulin injections to control their blood sugar levels.

Oh, ok. However, it's bad enough for the majority of us today and worse than ever for many of us; certainly more of us are worse off than three, five or seven or ten or 15 years ago. I certainly am and there's many right in line with me. None of those people in Congress from either party work for us the people any longer.
"At least it's not $4..." True! How long was it at that price though? One week? A month? The whole year? It was that price for about a week, but it was lower for that whole year otherwise.

Soaring Not Just Getting Beyond the 2003 County Budget
Commissioner Tommy Adkisson
August 14, 2003
In the five years I have served as your Commissioner, I am most mindful of certain disturbingly recurrent phenomena: ever escalating property valuations (property taxes) that are a regular assault on a cornerstone of American life: the homestead, the continuing habits among many of us (including me) that create increasing health care costs and decisions that keep us in a seemingly unending upward spiral of government expenses.
It is said that the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. This brings me to an article I read by Scott Burns, nationally syndicated business columnist. He said he had recently read a book entitled "Natural Capitalism" and that if his readers knew any public official that had not read this book that they should not vote for him or her in the next election. Well, I had not read this book so out of respect for Scott Burns and my own sense of pride as an elected official, I fairly quickly obtained a copy of the book and set out to read it.
What this has to do with our County budget is everything. It does not offer any quick and easy solutions. Those are far and few between. It did however, offer significant and critical observations and studies that document much greater resource productivity. It captured my attention because the greater the productivity of our county revenue, the less tax revenue should be needed.
Natural Capitalism discussed the idea that the economy is shifting from an emphasis on human productivity to a radical increase in resource productivity. The authors assembled fifty case studies of at least quadrupled resource productivity to detail how, across whole economies, people could live twice as well but use half as much material and energy.
They foretell an emerging resource productivity revolution.
You have read about this when I have written on energy and natural resources like recycled goods and will continue to hear from me on these and other topics that effect the long-term well-being of our County.
For this year however, it appears as though our approach to solving the $14 million shortfall for the next fiscal year, October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004, will be to:
- Borrow internally,
- Keep the tax rate the same as it is now, and
- Realize a 5% savings from each department or office in the County.
One of the first things we really need to do is to get out of the rental business. We currently pay $1.7 million annually for renting of buildings. This is intolerable. Hopefully we can address this in a successful bond issue soon.
Integrating some of the thoughts on conservation, we will replace old energy guzzling equipment with newer and cheaper-running equipment and allow the savings realized to finance it. According to a State Energy Conservation Office audit, we can save at least $691,400.00 annually over the next 5.7 years, with a lesser yet increasing amount before then. Because this audit did not include smaller buildings that are collectively important, the annual savings can be more.
Hike up the tempo of a health campaign for Bexar County employees so that the recent escalations of health care premiums can either be abated or the rate of escalation slowed-down substantially. Other steps we can take are to acquire renewable energy applications such as the solar-electric car as well as solar thermal (hot water) heating systems. Add to this much higher efficiency air conditioners and this sun-baked part of God's green earth becomes more tolerable from a tax-savings viewpoint.
Just so you might view our budget though from an historical perspective, see the box below. Within a month we set the budget and the tax rate. Implementing both short-term and long-term approaches to lighten the tax load is my goal. Please let me hear from you on your thoughts.

The Lions ALERT Program
Lions are continually involved in disaster relief around the world. The Lions ALERT program strives to provide specific direction to the 46,000 Lions clubs and help them to be more efficient in providing short and long term support to disaster victims.
The objective of the Lions ALERT Program is to develop a plan of action in case of a Level One (affecting a few people), Level Two (affecting a community) or Level Three emergency (affecting hundreds or thousands of people in a region).
The emergency may be a natural disaster, a man-made disaster or a public healthcare crisis such as a large-scale (pandemic) influenza (flu) outbreak.
To develop a Lions ALERT plan, appoint a Lions ALERT chairperson who will assemble a team of volunteers and emergency service professionals.
To request or offer humanitarian assistance (both human services and material resources), view Lion-2-Lion: Resource Assistance Database.

One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.Oscar Wilde

Jameson Shot: 7" EP
Jameson whiskey goes down fine, and finer still are the X-Rays! of Nottingham for supporting neighboring Ireland's economy. What isn't fine is the way waking up to the aftertaste of whiskey has cross-wired my brain to think that whiskey actually tastes like hangovers. But that's my problem. For the strong eared and stomached, every song on Jameson Shot will please, neat or with ice or water. G-Man's guitar roars with bottom dollar distortion and Gary X-Ray's weasely shouts are perfect on tracks like "Drinking for My Baby," crafting gleefully shitty rock of the street punk feel, minus the aggression and double the cheese. I can just get through these three tracks before the X-Rays! liquor slap overwhelms my system, which needs some watery lager (tempo changes) mixed in with the hard stuff so I can stand on solid legs and flip the record, which comes on marbled vomit grey vinyl. –Jim Joyce (Big Neck)
Scroggz Manor: CD
Scuffed-up garage rock fronted by a vocalist who switches easily between cocky crooning and blown-out shrieking (with a noted preference for the latter). "Garage" is about as worn-out and oversaturated as a genre prefix can get these days, but Fire Retarded do spice things up with some unorthodox deviations into weirdo psych rock riffage. Comparisons to The Reatards are inevitable—do you think the name's a coincidence? This stuff is fast, frenzied, and dirty. –Indiana Laub (Big Neck)
Razorcake/Gorsky Press, Inc. just reviewed 3 of our records in issue #82. Go buy and check them out. I will post them up here, 1 a day for the next 3 days. Oddly, they have not reviewed Sonny Vincent's new album.
Trust Fun Suicide: 7"EP
Female fronted, this four piece outta DC slaps together members of Lady Cop, Electrocutions, and SWALTB. Three new garage punk songs which cast shadows of The Runaways tear off into the title track, a jangly fuck you to all the trust fund babies and their inherited swag. Sal Go, the female vocalist, spits the title like a punch to their pretty, cocaine-eaten noses. "Ice Cream vs. Gasoline" is carried by a tight guitar hook like early Bass Drum Of Death. On the flip side, "Cut by a Hog" continues the catchy guitar leading into a clear, chirping solo and Sal's sloppy Courtney Love voice. While all of this is well and good, they sound like an opening act—there to warm up the crowd, as the material isn't especially engaging or memorable. But the fundamentals are there and with a little time and experimentation, they'll be headlining a dive near you. –Kristen K. (Big Neck)
Distributors and Stores
I like when punk still has that homemade feel, if things are too polished it can lose the raw sound that can only happen in one take under less than perfect conditions. Like those home recordings on a four track in the bedroom, if you try to artificially recreate that feel you'll immediately know it. Something will be different. You can hear it right away with the X-Rays, these guys pulled themselves together just long enough to write a single with alcohol fueling the subject matter and recording session.
If you bought issue #377 of MRR you know that they reviewed all of our last 4 releases at once. So, we will put them up here, one for each day.
First off is the NV's with Trust Fun Suicide EP
This EP gives us 3 songs of tried and true garage punk. Poppy, fast, melodic, and sharp. Just like your favorite MUFFS song. These guys don't give you anything new; you've probably heard bands play songs just like these ones many times before. But I don't think this is the kind of music meant for someone looking for something new. It's meant for people that already know what they want and they want more of it! And if you are looking for catchy pub-punk with attitude this will be something you like.
Sonny Vincent is releasing another full length in November 2014. Sonny Vincent and Spite, featuring Rat Scabies from the Damned, Steve MacKay from the Stooges, and Glenn Matlock from the Sex Pistols.
Out on UltraMafic Records in November!

Reading Governor Brewer's statement regarding the federal government's enforcement of the laws related to air pollution at the Grand Canyon left me both disappointed and hopeful. Quoted in the East Valley Tribune on July 29, 2012, Brewer stated "I don't think it has anything to do with air quality … It has everything to do with the Obama administration going to war on coal … It's more about politics and not science." I was disappointed that the governor was blaming amendments made to the Clean Air Act in 1990 by the 101st Congress on our current president.
In 1989, President George H. W. Bush proposed changes to the Clean Air Act in an effort to reduce air pollution. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed amendments to the Clean Air Act. Included in those amendments was language that required reduction of air pollution at our national parks and language that allowed private legal action to force the federal government to act as the law required. Senator John McCain and Jon Kyle, who was in the House at the time, both voted in favor of the amendments. President Bush signed those amendments into law in 1990. The law is being enforced under the Obama administration due to legal action against the EPA for failure to act as the law requires.
At the same time, Governor Brewer's statement encouraged me to think that the governor might start using science rather than politics in her future policy decision making.

Be Sure to Use Insanity Mode often. Each creature you kill will raise your Insanity EXP meter. Filling up the EXP meter will upgrade Torque's Smash attack.
Reload you weapon after battle. You never know what's waiting around the next corner.
When fighting slayers, incapacitate their sight by shooting their heads off. This makes it a bit more difficult for them to find you.
When fighting, keep moving! Moving targets are harder to hit. Try to anticipate what your enemy will do next, then avoid it!
Explore each area carefully. You don't want to overlook an important clue or item.
Be attentive of the strength of your flashlight batteries. If you're in a well lit area, concerve battery power by turning the flashlight until you enter another dark area.
The more creatures you kill while in Rage mode, the more powerful you'll become. When you gain enough "experience," use the "Jump" attack to access your new ability.

Wal-Mart Inks Deal for 10,000 Self-Checkout Scanners
by Lance Turner
Posted 11/1/2012 02:16 pm
Updated 2 years ago
NCR Corp. of Duluth, Ga., said Thursday that it will install 10,000 of its self-checkout systems in more than 1,200 Wal-Mart stores in the United States in 2013.
Shares of publicly traded %%NCR%% rose 6 percent on the news. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Shoppers and retailers recognize the speed and value self-checkout provides and shoppers tell us they are eager to see it expanded into other retail segments," Scott Kingsfield, senior vice president and general manager of NCR Retail, said.
Wal-Mart already uses self-checkout systems in its retail stores. Thursday's announcement was called an "expansion" of those systems.
"Our customers are shopping differently than they ever have, and we're using innovative technologies like self-checkouts to meet their needs," said Jeff McAllister, senior vice president of innovation at Walmart U.S. "Our multiple checkout options give us a unique advantage to provide our customers with the quick, easy and convenient checkout experience they tell us they want."

Pat Fitzgerald unimpressed with NU's stuff, especially from receivers
BY NEIL HAYES firstname.lastname@example.com September 10, 2012 10:33PM
EVANSTON, IL - SEPTEMBER 8: Venric Mark #5 of the Northwestern Wildcats runs with the football against the Vanderbilt Commodores at Ryan Field on September 8, 2012 in Evanston, Illinois. Northwestern won 23-13. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)
Updated: October 12, 2012 6:19AM
Northwestern is 2-0, but there's no danger of the Wildcats developing overconfidence or complacency after coach Pat Fitzgerald delivered his weekly state-of-the-program address in a team meeting Monday morning.
Players who might have been expecting a slap in the back received a kick in the pants instead.
''We obviously didn't bring our big boy pads in some areas on Saturday,'' Fitzgerald said. ''We've got a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball.''
This wasn't just another example of a coach playing mind games. With Boston College, South Dakota, Indiana and Penn State ahead, and with Big Ten teams dropping nonconference games left and right, Northwestern could position itself for a memorable season. For that to happen, however, across-the-board improvements must be made.
After the defense turned in one of the best performances of Fitzgerald's coaching tenure against Vanderbilt, it's the offense's turn to take a long look in the mirror.
''We weren't playing to the best of our abilities, whether it was blocking or catching the ball and making the offense go,'' junior receiver Rashad Lawrence said. ''We've got a lot to work on. The coach is taking shots at us. We feel like he's calling us out, so we're going to step up and make it happen.''
The offense struggled against Vanderbilt until backup quarterback Trevor Siemian entered the game and led the Wildcats on two fourth-quarter drives. Starter Kain Colter played the majority of the game and completed 7 of 15 passes for 42 yards, which Fitzgerald attributed to inaccurate passes and receivers dropping balls. Kolter also had 75 rushing yards on 13 carries.
Receivers also didn't block well on the perimeter in the running game, leading Fitzgerald to announce that personnel changes could result if improvements aren't made.
''We've got to catch the football,'' Fitzgerald said. ''I don't care where the ball is thrown — that's what we put them on scholarship for, and I reminded them it's a $60,000 scholarship. Catch the ball.''
With the exception of the defensive line, the Cats weren't physical enough on either side of the ball. The offensive line didn't finish blocks. Outside linebackers and defensive backs let opposing players get outside and behind them — a big no-no. There were protection issues and mental mistakes that must be corrected when Boston College visits Ryan Field on Saturday.
"Right now, the only guy playing at a championship level on offense is Venric Mark,'' Fitzgerald said of his running back, who is averaging 102.5 yards per game and 5.4 yards per carry. ''We've got 10 other guys that need to get it going. That's 10 plus another seven or eight in the rotation. We've got about 21 guys who have to step it up if we want to get better.''
Despite holding the Commodores to 217 passing yards, Fitzgerald wasn't satisfied with his defense, either.
He said he wasn't being critical, just honest. Sometimes the truth hurts.
''We've got a lot of room for improvement," he said. ''That's my point. We're in no way, shape or form where we're capable of being.''

(1965) Philippe Leroy, Rossana Podesta, Gastone Moschin, Maurice Poli, Gabrieli Tinti. One of the best intrigue/caper movies ever made! Delightful is the perfect word to describe this film that is full of sci-fi gimmicks, plot twists, slick and not-so-slick criminals, and gorgeous dames. Podesta is a 100% bonafide KNOCKOUT! Leroy is fantastic as the suave criminal mastermind who instigates a plot to steal seven million pounds from an "impenetrable" bank vault. There isn't a wasted moment in this film. A definite must. Beautiful color, widescreen, 16mm.

|Home Installation Manual Secure Password Thinking
Page 7 of 9
Step 6 - Main Configuration
The Main Configuration screen allows the setting of three critical elements for the installation of Joomla! to your Web server.
There are three sections to the Main Configuration screen; the first of which is the Site Name. Whilst this may appear obvious it does bear pointing out that this is also the name that will be used when site e-mails are issued, or when error or access warning messages are issued from the Front-end of the Web site. Unlike in earlier releases of Joomla!, and its predecessor, the Site Name will not appear in the User's browser title bar. This entry can be edited at a later time in the Global Configuration->Site page of the Control Panel.
The second section relates to key information concerning the primary Super Administrator, you!
Enter your e-mail address, or the one that you want all site warnings, messages, and e-mails to be sent from and that incoming contact methods will be directed to. It will appear as the From address on all Site outgoing e-mail messages. There are also two text fields into which you should enter and confirm the password that you will (as the primary Super Administrator) use to login to the Web site, in combination with the default username for the primary Super Administrator, which by default is admin.
Caution: It is worth pointing out that at least for public sites the MySQL,FTP, and Login usernames and passwords should not be the same. To do so would add unnecessary security risks.
If you are migrating data from an existing Joomla! 1.0 installation, or uploading a full SQL back-up from an existing Joomla! 1.5 installation, you do not need to complete these first two sections as the information will be automatically transferred within the migration script or back-up file.
An additional security suggestion that you might consider is to change the User admin to something less obvious once the installation is completed. This can be done (along with any subsequent changes you wish to make to the password) in the Control Panel->Site menus->User Manager screen of the Administrator Back-end.
The third and final section relates to the data that you may, or indeed may not, want to include in the installation process.
Essentially you have three choices:
Installing the Default Sample Data
The sample default data is a collection of Sections, Categories, Articles, Web Links, News Feeds, and various other examples of content that have been written simply to demonstrate some of the functionality of Joomla! (much of the content is also quite informative and useful). The data is contained in an SQL file within the core installation.
By default the Install Default Sample Data radio button is selected, but in order to complete the installation of the Sample Data you must also click the adjacent Install Sample Data button. Provided all goes well you will notice that this button transforms into a confirmatory message box stating that the Sample Data Installed Successfully; you are then ready to complete this section by clicking Next.
It is not possible to simply do an SQL back-up of a 1.0.x version Web site and upload this to a 1.5 version installation as a result of the significant changes that have taken place with regard to the framework of Joomla!.
Installing a Compatible SQL Script File
There may be situations where for example you have your own localised – in language terms – version of the Sample Data, or a back-up of data from an existing Joomla! 1.5 Web site that you wish to restore/install into the new Web site you are creating. You should complete the Old Table Prefix, and Migration Script items below.
Installing a Migration SQL Script File from an earlier Joomla! version 1.0.x installation
There is a separate and detailed guide on migrating content from earlier Joomla! installations available from the Joomla! Help Site regarding the Migrator Component.
If you are migrating or restoring data select the Load Migration Script radio button. You will notice that this then enables the additional fields for Old Table Prefix, Old Site Encoding, and Migration Script.
The Migrator Component clearly cannot compensate (add) data to any new fields that have been added by the Joomla! 1.5 development (it's good but not magical) therefore it is recommended that you check all migrated data and complete any missing fields that require such action. The most prevalent of these will be the Alias field of Sections, Categories, and Articles.
Once you have completed the details on this page select Next to proceed to the final step.

Kathy Griffin plastic surgery *pictures!*
Kathy Griffin plastic surgery isn't a rumor because she has openly admitted to having surgery! In her stand up routine she has a code that calls it going to the dentist = going to the plastic surgeon.
I know Kathy has gotten a nose job, arm lift, lipo and porcelain veneers! She looks good but is a total b*tch!!
The pic on the far right is without makeup.
Bitch look good (lol) ... yeah she had some surgery, but don't hate .. appreciate!
At least she is honest and open about her plastic surgery. Most celebrities will lie right to your face and deny they have ever had anything done. As far as I know Kathy Griffin admits to all her plastic surgery and has even said why she did each procedure. How old is she now, 50 to 55?
She claims to be 49, but that is sometimes 48 and sometimes 50, depending on the source. I think she looks pretty good. I like that she admits to her surgeries, and she she be proud, even if they're obvious.
Check out this photo:
She looks good!
I'm no fan of Kathy Griffin. I admit her standup routine has elements that are funny but she is a twisted person. I understand poking fun at people but some of the vicious, hateful and untrue things she says about people during her act are just plain wrong. Not to mention she attacks and mocks the idea of religions and the concept of a God repeatedly. When I saw her show she bragged at least 2 or 3 times during it how there's a hole going straight down to hell where she is going to go when she dies. Sorry but anyone that brags and boasts about going to hell doesn't have their head on straight.
She's very talented and smart but I would just like to see her put it to better use.
She might be a bitch, or politically incorrect, but this site is about plastic surgery.
Hers is good.

I had always wanted to try these pins but the price has put me off. Today I stopped into the Dollar Tree and found them being sold for the whopping price of 1 buck! So I scooped one up and had that package open about 5 seconds after getting in the car.
The directions are easy, gather up hair in a pony, no elastic needed and twist. 1 pin twists in the top and 1 in the bottom, careful not to cross. 5 seconds to a secure bun! The bun isn't really my style so I did a loose twist, low on the side and pinned and it was so cute!! I went back and bought several more, for me and friends and my niece.
I have thin, wavy/curly hair. This product holds very well. Easy in and easy out.

I have frizzy, knotty, incredibly difficult hair so I anticipated some problems in getting these pins to spin in. Lo and behold. I can't believe how easy it was to get them in and out, and how secure and comfortable they feel, unlike hair clips that are tight, pull your hair and also easily visible.
I have yet to try this on other styles apart from a high bun, but since this is my usual style, I'm quite happy even with this.

whoa! i literally JUST bought these an hour ago, and already i'm in love. i have *extremely* long, thick, wavy hair in layers (with bangs) and i just this moment twisted my hair into a bun on top of my head (not even with a hair tie to make a ponytail first!), screwed these things in, and it's the most secure, comfortable, EASY bun i've ever had. usually when i put my hair up in a bun it's rather an ordeal with hair ties (usually they're not stretchy enough for my thick hair and they snap on me, even the good ones)- i usually have to put it up and take it down a number of times to get a really secure bun that also doesn't look ridiculous. my hair goes down to my hips, and, as i said, is quite thick (not coarse, not fine, but medium- but very thick) and these things are holding firm even if i bop my head around a bunch like i'm rockin' out to some good music or something. plus, my bun looks really natural. i didn't brush my hair out before putting it up (it was in a side braid that i'd slept in before i put it up) but it looks so cute and effortless. already i adore these things- the one bad thing is i'll have to be sure to keep track of them- they aren't cheap! i got them at a steep discount at walgreens (i used some points i'd racked up and spent $5 of my points towards them so they were only $2.something)- $7.something seems a liiiiittle steep for what amounts to two twisted pieces of wire, but hell- you can't find anything else like these out there, so i'd say it's worth it.

I LOVE Spin Pins!! I buy them at Walmart because its the only place I could find them for blonde hair and they're cheaper there. They take a bit to get a hang of but they make the most secure buns once you know how best to place them. I have long, thick, heavily layered and very slippery fine hair. Without spin pins, buns are not a possibility for me.
Make sure to tuck all your ends in tight before you start spinning!

Easy to use and hold well when you twist the second pin across the first. Very handy when you have a messy bun you want to have secured.

I love these. I have thick, coarse, wild, wavy dark hair, and styling it is a nightmare. I typically stick with buns because they are easy, but I started to worry about breakage from elastics. I tried these out (the brunette pins) and they are great. They are pretty much invisible in my hair and they stay in forever - much more effective than hairpins. Of course, you may have a piece fall out of the bun every once in a while (when I used elastics, I'd just tuck it back in) but they are easy to use and I am able to get my hair to stay up in them pretty much all the time. They are not cheap but they've lasted me a while, and if I ever lose one or both I will go a buy another set. I don't know how they would work for fine hair but for thick (and sadly, somewhat naturally stiff) hair, these are very effective.

I love these. I have very fine hair, so for a neat bun I need four. I think the key to using these and having them stay is to twist your hair VERY tightly before you form a bun. For a low bun I divide my hair in two and twist the sections around each other many times until it's a very tight twist. Then I form a bun, twist these in , and I have a bun that lasts a whole ballet class. These also make great high buns. Love. I also think its cool to spin the pins into one another for easy storage so they don't roll all over the place.

Bought these today and LOVE them! I'm a single mother, work in an office, and don't usually spend a lot of time on my hair in the mornings. spending a minimal amount of time on my hair AND it looking good is just a bonus. Got them at Walgreen, regular price was 7, only paid 2.99 for them, so I was a happy woman!! AND, I have layers, of course it's not perfect, but it's a cute bun that stays up without pulling on my head and got them for a great price which was a huge bonus!!! :) I would definitely buy them again, and hopefully will catch them on sale because I feel the $7 normal price would be difficult to swallow being a single mom on a budget and all...

Goody Spin Pin keeps my hair off my shoulders, but it gets tangled when I try to twist it out if my hair is not completely straight. This is a problem as I usually wear my hair wavy until it grows back out. The point of me buying it was to protect my hair from breaking but with the tangling I feel like I'm snapping my hair off anyway.

This was a great recipe~ I did make it my own ~ I did use sausage and mushrooms and used marscapone cheese instead of ricotta~ my husband who is not only itallian himself but has a ton of itallian friends who cook for him said it was the best shells he ever had and wanted to make sure it wasn't to hard so I would make them again soon! It was super simple even the sauce and so he's getting his wish at the end of this week~ lol~ {2 weeks from first time}

Why does my blood pressure drop to 80/60 after I exercise?
- Q: Why does my blood pressure drop to 80/60 after I exercise?
- A: Normally, blood pressure increases from resting level with exercise. Based on criteria used for exercise treadmill tests, any decrease in blood pressure during exercise might be a sign of heart disease. The same is true, to a lesser extent, if there is a failure of the blood pressure to increase with exercise. Once exercise has stopped, blood pressure should return to resting levels and may even drop to slightly below pre-exercise levels for a while based on a number of factors, like any medications one might be taking, overall fitness level, and the type and duration of exercise. The whole question of what your fall in blood pressure really means depends on its timing. If your blood pressure increases with exercise, then gradually decreases to a lower than pre-exercise level after something like 10 minutes or more, this may be fine. If it occurs during exercise or soon after stopping, talk to your doctor about having some sort of stress test (an exercise treadmill test or a stress echocardiogram), because, even though you feel well, this could be a warning sign of early heart disease.
