Last week I initiated a move of our SIMS data to a new server (from server Windows version 2003 to server 2008). I followed the usual SIMS method using DBattach etc and all seemed to go well right up until I attempted to log in.
So I call Capita and somebody dials into our servers. After a few minutes we manage to get the sysman password changed and we go in and we can see all the data - it's all there apart from user passwords.
We change my password and I can log in and I confirm that yes the data is all there where it should be only problem is nobody else would be able to get in (Thankfully the database isn't live yet.) They then say they need to escalate the call.
This was last week and I've heard nothing since. I've been pestering them quite a bit but have heard nothing.
Has anyone else had the same issue? I really need to get this resolved soon as possible.

FILE - In this May 30, 2013 file photo, Oprah Winfrey speaks during Harvard University's commencement ceremonies in Cambridge, Mass. (AP Photo/Elise Amendola, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says Martin Luther King Jr. forced the nation "to wake up, look at itself and eventually change." She says the civil rights leader's lessons inspire people all over the world.
Speaking at the March on Washington ceremonies Wednesday, Winfrey said King recognized that Americans shared the same dreams and that their hopes weren't different based on race. She says King was right when he said all Americans' destinies are intertwined and would rise or fall based on how people treat their neighbors.
Winfrey, a media mogul, says she asked her mother as a 9-year-old girl why her family wasn't there for the march. Winfrey says it took her 50 years, but she finally arrived on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to mark the anniversary of King's march.

Gov. Rick Perry, Dr. David Jeremiah Dedicate First Baptist Dallas' New $130 Million Campus
DALLAS, April 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- First Baptist Church of Dallas, led by nationally known pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress, today dedicated its new $130 million campus with the help of government, business and ministry leaders from around the nation, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Dr. David Jeremiah, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church and host of Turning Point radio and television ministries.
Following the Grand Opening on Easter Sunday, March 31, this morning's services further celebrated God's provision in helping First Baptist complete the largest Protestant church building campaign in modern history during one of the worst economic recessions since the Great Depression. Honoring the Church's past heritage and commitment to Dallas, the service began with an archival video of former First Baptist Pastor Dr. W.A. Criswell in 1974 saying, "It is our desire, under God and the presence of the Lord, to build in the heart of Dallas the most beautiful lighthouse for Christ on this earth."
Mark Lovvorn, chair of the new campus Planning & Development Committee, publicly thanked Dr. Jeffress, for his original God-given vision to create a spiritual oasis in the heart of Dallas, announcing for the first time that the Committee unanimously voted, unbeknownst to the First Baptist leadership, that the Fountain Plaza, a focal feature in the middle of the campus, will now officially be known as the "Jeffress Fountain Plaza."
"Thank you so much for this undeserved but greatly appreciated recognition," Dr. Jeffress said upon hearing the news. "I can't think of a greater honor than to have my name associated with a church I've loved my whole life."

Note to Gabe Carimi: It's all about Jay Cutler
RICK TELANDER email@example.com April 29, 2011 12:12AM
- Hayes: Angelo gets it right with Carimi pick
- Bears blog: Draft news, analysis
- Follow the NFL Draft pick by pick
Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
Hello, Gabe Carimi, and welcome to the fold!
As the 29th pick in the draft, from small town/Madison suburb Cottage Grove, Wis., you probably don't know a whole lot about Chicago or the way things work on the Bears.
Here it is:
Jay Cutler.
That's it.
When you visit town, when you come to camp, when you find out that big body of water to the east is not Lake Monona, think only of this: How can I make Jay Cutler's life better?
You being an offensive tackle and in the potential pathway to Jay's destruction, hopefully you see a direct relationship to that task, so if you want peace in your young pro life, make Jay succeed.
His health and welfare are the Bears' health and welfare. And through late summer, fall and early winter, they are Chicago's.
If you're there on the line in front of Cutler, sacrifice your knees for him. Your whatever.
You may be known as ''The Jewish Hammer'' — man, can that play in Chicago! — but first things first. Sacrifice yourself on the altar of turf.
The Bears gave up starting quarterback Kyle Orton and first- and third-round draft picks two years ago to get Cutler from the Denver Broncos, and thus the man is the key to the future of the Bears, as well as, quite possibly, the futures of general manager Jerry Angelo, head coach Lovie Smith and maybe even president Ted Phillips.
The Bears went out on a limb for you, young protector.
But they uprooted a tree and plowed a field for Cutler.
And though after two seasons he has the cumulative highest passer rating in Bears history — 80.9 — he's not even in the top five for best single-season Bears rating. His 86.3 last year ranks behind Jim McMahon, Erik Kramer, Rudy Bukich and Bill Wade and way, way behind Sid Luckman (107.5).
That's not why the Bears halfway-mortgaged a franchise, not for a guy who's going to go up and down and all around and then basically implode.
Uncertainty in the air
We all agree this was one of the weirdest draft nights ever. You can be excused for not being clear about some things.
At Halas Hall, for instance, the doors were open to the media, but they haven't been open to players since the NFL owners' lockout, the players' union decertification, court challenges and appeals and anti-trust forays, denied ''stays'' and more legal muck than sports people can handle.
It's still not certain there will be an NFL season in 2011, and when all you college guys marched across the floor at Radio City Music Hall and hugged commissioner Roger Goodell, I wonder if you felt you were hugging your enemy or savior.
Already Goodell had been booed by the maniac fans in the crowd, who chanted ''We want football!'' over and over.
''I hear you,'' Goodell said, which didn't stop the noise.
Craftily, Goodell brought up the old trusted-and-true way to quiet dissidents: Ask that thoughts be directed toward victims of tragedy somewhere else — this time Tuscaloosa, Ala., where a killer tornado recently hit.
No disrespect meant, but since when did a circus-tent, wildly hyped, gazillion-dollar, Times Square-made-for-TV event in which fat-necked, quasi-educated human cattle are dispersed into the various franchise chutes of their new ranches become about charity? Not sure.
Nor was it anything but the usual brilliance when Goodell brought out military members for various functions. Charity, war, football, money. Check!
The draft is also clouded, or should be, by the revelations of potential permanent head trauma for those who play this vicious game.
It's telling, or should be, that for the first time, the U.S. military will give out Purple Heart honors to soldiers who receive concussions in battle but have not even been knocked out.
But back to Cutler. Your guy.
Talk of the town
We here in Chicago haven't heard much from him since he vanished after that disastrous NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers.
If he hurt his knee badly, which is why he allegedly was taken from the game, he could have stuck around to talk to Chicago folks about it.
We kinda care.
Disappearing to Africa on a charity trip was nice, as was running in a local kids charity fund-raiser weeks later.
But it wasn't so great that Cutler refused to talk to Chicago media after that kiddie thing. Why not? We don't bite. Not unless you're a jerk or a failure or a fraud.
Not to say Cutler is any of those things. But a non-communicator, he is.
And the Bears quarterback, in case you haven't been listening, Hammer, is a big deal in Chicago, somebody we like to hear from.
It recently was announced that he is getting married to a reality-TV star. I hope the marriage lasts forever, but there are lots of young women out there — millions and millions, in fact — who did not ''play'' a ''blond bombshell'' ('E! Online's words) on the execrable ''The Hills.''
The press will be around, Gabe. For him and you.
There are lots of Jay-doubters out here. And remember, the biggest of all were his own brethren-tweeters from around the league.
So come on across the border, Gabe.
You're in the soap opera now.

2 Top Olympic Sports Lose Major Sponsors
By RAF CASERT
BRUSSELS (AP) â¿¿ Two major Olympic sports â¿¿ track and field and speedskating â¿¿ have lost key sponsors in the midst of a global economic slump.
The South Korean electronics giant Samsung is cutting ties with track and field's Diamond League series of top meets. The company's decision comes on short notice following last summer's London Olympics.
The International Skating Union also must begin looking for a major sponsor. The Dutch energy supplier Essent said it will end its longstanding backing of speedskating after the 2014 Sochi Winter Games."To be honest, it is not easy," ISU President Ottavio Cinquanta told The Associated Press. "The international market is not in the very best condition. One has to admit, there is some problem. We will have to pay attention to what to do." Soccer still has money-making capability in hard times. Manchester United proved that over the weekend when it clinched a major eight-year sponsorship deal with the insurance firm Aon estimated at $230 million. But annual sponsorship commitments like Samsung or Essent are counted in a few million dollars annually. That, however, doesn't make the income any less essential. The ISU was fortunate in that Essent gave it a full year's warning that it was ending a 16-year relationship. "Of course, we were not on the market (before) looking for another sponsor," Cinquanta said. Europe is a prime market for both track and speedskating but the continent has been hit for the past three years by a government-debt crisis that has pushed many nations into recession and high unemployment as companies struggle to make ends meet. Often sponsorship is an obvious cost-cutting division, making the search for new sponsors in a bad economic climate even tougher. That's especially true for a niche sport like speedskating, which can count on global attention only when the Winter Olympics come around every four years.

He fought alongside the other Lords to defeat the dragons and begin the Age of Fire, and ruled over Lodran with his children, also deities, Gwynevere and Gwyndolin, as well as a large number of other Gods.As time went by, the Flame, and with it the Lords' power, began to fade. In an attempt to prevent the collapse of all life, and preserve the Age of Fire, Gwyn led his army of Black Knights to the Kiln of the First Flame and attempted to link the fire. He was unsuccessful, however, possibly due to him having gave his Lord Soul, and with it much of his power, to his confidant Seath the Scaleless and the Four Kings of New Londo. His mission failed, and with so little left of himself, Gwyn became Hollow while the rest of Lordan grew dimmer.Hollow Gwyn, waiting in the KilnUnder his command is an army of trustworthy knights, the black knights who stalk Lordran. There were also four higher ranking knights, Ornstein, Ciaran, Artorias and Gough. He once led the Silver Knights as well, when he was the Lord of Sunlight, however his loss of Godly Status had cost him his grip across the outside world after lighting the Flame for the second time.PowerOne of the original Lords, Gwyn was quite easily a deity figure. His power was easily greater than that of the other Lords, and because of that he was the one to rule. In the beginning, Gwyn used his Sunlight Spears to shear away the stone Scales of Immortality of the dragons so that his knights and the other Lords could kill them. Much later, even after having given up much of his power, Gwyn was still a formidable force, wielding nothing more than his trusted greatsword.

Matching grant could bring new cameras to Milwaukee streets
Updated On: Mar 07 2014 07:06:28 PM CST
Milwaukee plans to have more eyes in the sky, thanks to a new grant.
Five hundred new surveillance cameras will be installed at Milwaukee business thanks to a matching grant program. Businesses will pay $1,200 for a camera that will be monitored by Milwaukee police. A matching grant will pay for the remaining cost of the camera and monitoring.
VIDEO: More surveillance cameras will still be on Milwaukee streets
"This is about weaving together the fabric of a neighborhood by having strong businesses," Mayor Tom Barrett said. "By having these cameras, we have an extra set of eyes."
"We can rapidly respond to crimes and produce high quality evidence," Police Chief Ed Flynn said of the new equipment.
The program costs $250,000, with $100,000 coming from a community block grant. The remaining $150,000 is money they Milwaukee Police Department has confiscated from criminals in past cases.

A diaper bag is an absolute must have when you have a baby. In fact, there were several times when my children were very young that their diaper bag also became my purse. I would toss my wallet and a few essential items into the diaper bag so that I would only have to carry one bag when I was out and about with my baby. I found that carrying a purse and a diaper bag was way too much to handle with a baby, stroller, blanket, and a diaper bag. Diaper bags come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, so most mom's can find one that they are comfortable carrying around and could double as a purse too.

All scrubs fit me odd...
- 0Jan 30, '08 by angelikdemonikI'm not a Nurse, but I do have to wear scrubs (currently a student medical assistant).
I am having such a hard time finding scrubs that fit. They all seem to be too big, and too long. I'm not an uber small girl (size 8 in pants), but even a size small is big on me. I know they should be baggy, but geez...I can almost fit two of me in a pair. They are all so long, too. I'm 5'2", so I'm used to pants being a bit long on me, but wow, I feel like I could sweep the streets with some of the scrub pants I've tried on. I really don't know how the really tiny people can find properly fitting scrubs.
Any tips for stores or websites that sell good fitting scrubs for smaller people? Thank you in advance.
- 0Mar 29, '08 by crosstanyaTry jascouniform.com, they have some flare leg pants in Petite that should work for you.
- 0Mar 29, '08 by nurseaboveboardCherokee brand has extra smalls that used to work really well for me. Also, you might like the ones with cuffs on the pants, plus they have petites too, I believe. I liked this brand, because I'm 5'3" but my torso is long, shorter legs. Good luck. There's tons of ones to try. I never had too much luck through catalogs, without having tried them in the store first.
- 0Mar 29, '08 by CritterLovermost scrubs are designed for men, hence the fit problem. many seem to have "unisex" sizing, even when they are "womens" and not "unisex."
urbane scrubs are more designed for women, they are a bit low-cut though. however, i wouldn't say they run small. one of my coworkers is about your height, and she says their petites fit her well. urbane is made by landau, so the landau solids should match.
dickies do run small.
there was a recent thread about a brand that are based on jr sizing -- koi scrubs maybe?
- 0Apr 6, '08 by SaraO'HaraTry Dickies.
- 0Apr 29, '08 by Nurse SaltUrbane scrubs are fantastic!!! I have always had a problem with scrubs being huge in the waist and tight in the knees (go figure!). When I found urbane I fell in love! Soft, comfortable, fit fantastic!!! Although be warned being your height the regular length would probably work best, but you will need to wash them several times as the will shrink in length only. You would probably fit a small, but check their size chart it is pretty accurate. And don't worry, scrubs don't fit most people... So if you find ones that work stick with them!!!
- 0Feb 18, '09 by Miss CalculationI've noticed that scrub tops are creeping up too. The short tops make me look really hippy and I'd like a bit more coverage. Anyone have a good link to scrubs with a bit more butt coverage?
- 0Feb 20, '09 by MelRN13Urbane is now selling a longer version of their classic crossover top...I've noticed after several washes, the Urbanes really shrink. Try www.lydiasuniforms.com
- 0Mar 4, '09 by fuzzywuzzyI'm short, with a really flat butt, and yet all my scrub pants seem to cling to it (highlighting its nonexistence), and the waist is always low in the back and really high in the front. My tops don't look right either because I'm big busted- the shirts hang off my chest and make me look pregnant.
- 0Mar 6, '09 by studenter1988Scrubs were always a pain for me until I found Dickies. The hip-flip kind comes in petite sizes too. The shirts are little short, but you can always mix and match. The Dickies hip flip pants are so comfortable and they fit way better than your typical drawstring ones that have no shape

"Our guest really appreciated this addition to the invitation, we had a destination wedding. This card was a perfect fit for a pocket and/or wallet!"
"Please be advised that although this product appears scalloped and my sample came as a printed scalloped design on rectangular paper, the design is not. It took multiple chats with WeddingPaperDivas customer service to fully understand that it can be rectangular. Other than that confusion this is a beautiful invitation and I am very happy with it!"
"I purchased this to match my poppy invitations and used this as my reception card. On the front of the card I included the reception address and time. On the back of the card I included a picture of the reception location and driving directions on the back of the card. The printing came out great and the picture I included on the back was perfect."
"LOVE THIS! We used this card to say the 'wishing well' poem where we basically asked our nearest and dearest to give us money in a suitcase for our wedding gift, nicely of course. It matched the whole peacock plume range, I'd probably add another or have same pattern (with clear centre) to write on both sides (for like accommodation, gifts, info). EXCELLENT!"
"This colorful insert was just what we wanted, and complemented our invitations perfectly! I loved having inserts in addition to our invitation, because it added so much more color to the whole package! The vertical lay-out allows room for lots of information to be printed on the card."

Nimet - Ogre3D Mesh ViewerApr 22, 2013 Modelling Tool 0 comments
Nimet is an advanced 3D model viewer for Ogre3D engine.
Word of Ember blazed across the land, and the town of Torchlight flared to life.
Ember is the essence of magic and the keystone of alchemy; it lures the restless with promises of power and riches. Miners burrowed deep beneath the dirt streets of Torchlight, discovering veins of the ore richer than any found in living memory- but they were not the first to covet these mines. The miners broke through into the buried past, a dangerous labyrinth of caverns and ruined civilizations, twisted creatures and the bones of those who came before. Evil bubbles up from the depths and threatens to overrun this town as it has so many others. The heart of a villain has infused the Ember, and his darkness seeps through the veins. To survive, the townspeople must break the cycle of destruction; they need a champion who can destroy the evil at its root. Removing the source of the rot may purify the Ember, but it is a long and perilous journey. The champion must battle through rock and fire, through lost cities and ancient tombs, into the palace of the villain himself.
The adventure is set in the mining settlement of Torchlight, a boomtown founded on the discovery of rich veins of Ember – a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt all that it contacts. This corruptive power may have dire consequences however, and players set out into the nearby mountains and depths below to discover the full extent of Ember's influence on the civilizations that have come before.
Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete. The endless randomization ensures a long-lived gameplay experience.

Runic Games, some of the key people behind Diablo, Diablo II, Mythos, Fate, and Torchlight, have announced a sequel to last year's surprise hit! It's scheduled to be released Spring 2011 and comes with a plethora of new features and upgrades, but the most notable? Co-Op using your choice of a Local Area Network or their free matchmaking Peer-to-Peer service! Other features include:
It should be noted that they have also announced through the @runicgames Twitter that Torchlight 2 is NOT the MMO that they still have planned, but rather just a sequel to Torchlight with engine upgrades and Co-Op capability, which seems more than enough for me! Those looking forward to a full Torchlight MMO seem to have nothing to worry about, as well. In addition, they also stated through Twitter that there will be a Mac version, released at at time TBD after the PC version. Head on over to the Official Torchlight 2 site for details and updates, as well as links to PC Gamer's interview and first look at the art of the game!
Nimet is an advanced 3D model viewer for Ogre3D engine.
Adds a portal to the town that will transport the player to the crypt Charnel House. In it players will find Gideon and his recently deceased friend...
This mod is the beginning in an amazing TOTAL retex of Torchlight.
A collection of new class and pet modifications found over at www.runicgamesfansite.com
This mod changes character portraits and facial textures on player classes and npc models in the game. Most of the changes tweak the size of character...
This mod adds a new tile set and prop set in TorchLight called CliffSide. This is an outdoor set for creating areas based around mountains, forest and...
wow. it's great.
This = Diablo 3 + WoW....
No offence tho..
Pretty cool looking game :).
But it just looks too similar... =/
game looks nice and seems like it will be quite wonderful to mod :3

A great book for wordpress theme design
November 15, 2008
WordPress Theme Design – Tessa Blakeley Silver
Price 35.99 USD (ebook $27.19)
I bought a book recently after seeing it mentioned in the WP dashboard news items, it's called WordPress Theme Design by Tessa Blakeley Silver and although a lot of the information regarding the functions of wordpress can be found at the codex, the book gives you so much more like the process gone through to design a theme from scratch.
I do quite a lot of sites in wordpress now and find it much easier to provide a client with a website that can be updated so easily, a few plugins here and there and you can provide a website that does all and more that's needed.
Usually I get a standard theme and cut it up a bit and change the css to give me my site, or create in photoshop and send off for wordpressing but lately due to some more custom design requests I've received and the always dependable mistakes that freelancers can make I have wanted to do the whole thing myself from scratch..
I've downloaded a tutorial before about WP theme design from small potato before it was taken over and that was pretty darn useful but was made a little while ago so it wasn't 2.5 specific.
That's why I like what Tessa has put her book, it takes you step by step through the process of creating a non-blog wordpress blog, from sketch to WP core code. It's made a big difference to my initial prototyping of concept sites and has really opened my eyes to what you can do with a bit of manipulation of the wordpress template tags. I'm even working on a magazine style front page for here so I can have a featured post for contests that stays up while it's open for entries as well as excerpts to the regular posts..
You can buy the book printed or get it as pdf for a bit cheaper (I printed mine out from pdf on someone elses printer lol!) at packet publishing
Packtpublishing is sending me a new book about WordPress For Business Bloggers , they're offering a deal if you get both books together. Stay tuned for the review of the new book!
A very useful and well written post. Thank you. I think that I shall get it as a pdf.

Match-altering, lead-from-the-front innings have become Australia captain Michael Clarke's trademark over the past year
November 12, 2012
Related Links
Players/Officials: Michael Clarke
Matches: Australia v South Africa at Brisbane
Series/Tournaments: South Africa tour of Australia
Teams: Australia | South Africa
There's a certain Venn diagram that shows just how remarkable a cricketer Michael Clarke has become. In one circle are the men who have scored three double-centuries as Australia's Test captain. Greg Chappell is there, so is Bob Simpson. In the other circle are those who have made three double-hundreds in a calendar year. Ricky Ponting is in that one. In the middle, fitting both categories, are Don Bradman and Michael Clarke.
Clarke went to stumps on the fourth day at the Gabba unbeaten on 218. Within a matter of minutes, he was being interviewed on camera by Mark Taylor. It was an exhaustive chat, but Clarke was far from exhausted. He had been batting all day and looked like he could have kept going until midnight.
These long, lead-from-the-front innings have become Clarke's trademark over the past year. There was his 329 not out against India in Sydney, his 210 in Adelaide later in the same series, and most impressively his 151 on an early-season, seamer-friendly pitch in Cape Town last year. Not to mention 139 against New Zealand at the Gabba last year, and 112 in Sri Lanka last September.
Leaving aside Bill Brown, who led Australia in only one match, Clarke's average of 64.72 as the country's Test captain is second only to Bradman. Not surprisingly, Australia have lost only two of the 14 completed Tests they have played since Clarke took over from Ponting in a full-time capacity. Thanks to Clarke and Ed Cowan, they won't lose this one either.
"I'll say it's coincidental," Clarke said when asked if his rich form was the result of taking on the leadership. "I'm trying to improve every day ... It has been nice to be able to lead by example with the bat. I've said for a while now it's not what you say, it's what you do. Ricky certainly showed that as captain of Australia for a long period of time, that he was scoring plenty of runs and the boys followed. It's nice to be scoring some - hopefully I've got a few more left in me.
"For me it's about being fit and strong. Fitness has always been a big part of my life … being healthy and active. I guess over the last couple of years I've taken myself away from the team and done my own boot camp, for my mind as much as my fitness. There's no doubt I feel a little bit fatigued, more mentally fatigued than physically fatigued at the moment. But I think that couple of weeks away of preparation has held me in really good stead for the last couple of seasons."
Clarke had some good fortune in the earlier stages of his innings, notably with a couple of miscued pulls that somehow fell safely. But having joined Cowan at the crease at 3 for 40, he was perfectly comfortable playing his shots - cutting the short balls and driving, straight and through cover - with the kind of timing that might have had the South African bowlers second-guessing their lengths.
"One of the things Warney has taught me over the years is the better the bowling, the more positive you've got to be," Clarke said. "That was certainly my intent from the first ball I faced yesterday: I wanted to be nice and positive and play my way to try and put it back on the South African bowlers because I know they're a very good attack."
His scoring only became freer as the fourth day wore on and South Africa's fast men were worn down. He saw off the second new ball without any serious concerns. His timing only improved, and to the detriment of Cowan, who was run out while backing up as Clarke's powerful straight drive clipped the fingers of the bowler Steyn and crashed into the stumps.
Then came more runs. And more. And still more. When the day began, the bookmakers were quoting odds of 101-1 for an Australian victory. By stumps, they were offering 9-1. Clarke and Cowan had batted South Africa out of the contest. Over the past year, Clarke has rewritten the book on the perfect captain's innings. This latest chapter was a fitting inclusion.

Opener David Warner is a rare talent and the X-factor he brings to the Australian team more than makes up for the odd ugly dismissal, captain Michael Clarke said on Thursday. Warner's last Test innings ended with a wild slash at the ball in the defeat to South Africa in Perth which sent him back to the dressing room with 29 runs to his name, leaving Australia another wicket down as they chased a huge victory target. The 26-year-old, a brilliant limited overs player who graduated to the Test team last year, will play his 13th Test against Sri Lanka in Hobart this week. "The one thing we have to understand about Davey, is that the same ball that got him out in Perth, we were all applauding in Adelaide when it went over slips for four," said Clarke. "That's the way he plays." Warner had scored a superb 119 against South Africa in the second test in Adelaide, an echo of his magnificent 180 against India in Perth last year which he kicked off with a 69-ball century. "The only thing I continue to say to Davey is to make sure his intent is there," Clarke added. "When the intent is there, his defence is better, his shot selection is better. He plays his best when he's looking to score runs, there's no doubt about that. "Like all of us, we would like to be more consistent and score runs every time we walk out to bat. Sometimes it's not going to look great when he gets out, but on the other hand he has the X-factor. He can take the game away from the opposition in the first session of a Test match." "There's not many players in the world that have that talent. I'm really happy with the way he's going." Warner scored his maiden Test century (123) at the Bellerive Oval last year and although it was in a shock defeat to New Zealand, Clarke said it was a great illustration of his skill. "I think one of Davey's greatest innings was the hundred he scored here against New Zealand in really tough batting conditions," said Clarke. "He still had that intent, even though the wicket was doing a lot. His shot selection was perfect. "In a perfect world, you'd love to bottle that, but you have to have a bit of give and take with Davey."

It all depends on what the going rate is in your area. Since you're "green" you have to charge less to make yourself more appealing... I'd say maybe 60% of what the pros charge. (:<br />

With just a few days left, crocodile hunting is coming to a close in Australia's Northern Territory and hunters are racing to bring in the area's most dangerous offenders before the rains come.

Nigel doubts his son's ability to hold his own within the team, but when the men come face to face with a ferocious croc, Nigel may have no choice but to rely on his rookie son to help catch it. Karl Goodhand has been hired to rid a local ranch of an infestation. Not crocs, but feral pigs. Karl tracks a massive boar through the night, and as it threatens the life of his lead hunting dog, Karl's forced to take matters in his own hands. And in the air, pilot Mick Burbidge attempts to save 15,000 panicked cattle as they flee from a raging brush fire, and into rivers teaming with deadly crocs.

Kansas City Southern Announces 13th Annual Holiday Express Schedule; Kicks-Off Charitable Fundraising Campaign
Kansas City Southern (KCS) (NYSE: KSU) announced today its schedule for the 2013 Holiday Express train. In its 13th annual run, Kansas City Southern's Holiday Express will stop in 20 communities in six states on 24 dates. At each scheduled stop, visitors can board the train, visit with Santa and his elves and tour the inside of three cars of the festive six-car train. Each event is free and open to the public.
In addition to free, public events, KCS' Holiday Express has a charitable component. Over 12 years, the project has raised almost $1.2 million to purchase gift cards, which are donated to the Salvation Army at each scheduled stop. These gift cards are used to purchase warm clothing and other necessities for children in the local community.
Anyone interested in making a tax-deductible contribution to the 2013 Holiday Express fundraising campaign may do so online from the Holiday Express section of www.kcsouthern.com or by clicking here. Sponsorship benefits are available for contributions of $500 or more. The 2013 campaign will close on October 31.
The Holiday Express was built on the tradition of the Santa Train, which ran on a segment of the network purchased by KCS in 1997. In 2000, a group of warm-hearted KCS employees noticed that the Santa Train was the only Christmas some kids had, and that some kids did not even have essential items like coats, hats and gloves. These employees were so touched that they committed to elevating the project. In 2001, volunteers transformed a retired freight train to the experience that communities throughout KCS' U.S. service territory enjoy today.Led by KCS' Southern Belle business train, the Holiday Express train includes a smiling tank car "Rudy"; a flatcar carrying Santa's sleigh, reindeer and a miniature village; a ginger bread boxcar; a newly remodeled elves' workshop; the reindeer stable; and a little red caboose. Each car is dressed in lights.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.
You are the best, I got lots of replies to my last blog with ideas for entertaining my parents while they are staying with me!! For those who haven't been following, they are in their 80's.
Some great ideas provided.
They keep saying when I ask them what they would like to do "whatever you want to do is good" ...... GGRRRR !
They are a bit more 'awake' now they have had a rest from the drive, so that is nice. Today, we sat and talked, and talked and talked some more, now maybe we have run out of tongue energy, LOL.
We went to another small town close to us where my dad used to work before they moved away, and walked a small mall where my mom bought herself a dress. She was so excited perhaps I will take them to the big mall another day!
Not able to take them to the touristy kind of things, they lived here and saw it all then, so it would be the same old thing. I think if the weather stays nice, we will pack a picnic and head to the lakes.
Anyway, we will enjoy ourselves, I wanna take advantage of time with them while they are still around and well enough to keep up with my family and me!
Please keep the ideas coming though, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
