Best Casino St. Louis 2001 - Harrah's
777 Casino Center Drive
Maryland Heights, MO 63043
Readers' Choice: Harrah's
We like casinos with plenty of table games and lavish buffets that fill you up for less than a 10-spot, places where you don't have to wait for a seat at the $5 blackjack table, where a fresh drink is always at your elbow and the cocktail waitresses personify glamour. Unfortunately, we're far from Las Vegas, and so Harrah's will have to suffice. Like every other local gambling hall, this is a casino that would go broke in a New York minute if it were in Nevada -- the bathrooms are messy, waitresses push around beer carts that belong on airliners and the fastest way to get a soda is to pour it yourself from self-service beverage stations. The buffet is adequate but overpriced at $13, and there are only a handful of table games. But for most gamblers, especially those who prefer slots to live people, Harrah's is the choice, if only for its décor and the sheer number of one-armed bandits, equally divided between the building's two casinos -- one with a Caribbean theme, the other with a Mardi Gras motif. Between the two is a lobby built to resemble a small town that has nothing to do with the tropics or New Orleans -- think old-time rural Missouri. Adding to the architectural and thematic milieu are a steakhouse and a fancy Italian restaurant. It seems as though they put a bunch of ideas into a hat when they designed this place and built whatever got pulled out first. We like this everything-but-the-kitchen-sink attitude. There's a really cool fish tank behind the bar on the Caribbean side and no fewer than three clocks -- yes, clocks in a casino -- in the lobby. There's no hint that this is supposed to be a riverboat. Built in a manmade moat to satisfy the letter of state law, there is nothing nautical about Harrah's, which is essentially a really big building with a really big parking lot, with no river in sight. There's also a humongous parking garage and a hotel.

Higgins: Revenue enhancements are tax increases!Written by Tim Higgins | | firstname.lastname@example.com
I have recently written a couple of pieces about the continuing (some would say mind-numbing, endless, and boring) debate going on in Congress over raising the debt ceiling. I have attempted to use humor and popular culture references, logic and reason, and even simplification of the subject to a single question to make it easier to understand. Perhaps however, it's time to make this a class in basic Economics.
So let's start with a simple premise. If an individual or family spends more than they take in, they go deeper into debt. If this process continues, they reach a point where it's not only no longer possible to pay back the money they owe, it's impossible to even pay back the interest on the money that they are forced to borrow in order to meet their obligations. This result is what's actually meant by the default on a debt, something often better known as bankruptcy.
If a government follows the same path, they call it something far different (and seemingly more acceptable), deficit spending. As it goes for the individual or family however, so too does it follow for a nation. Continuing to spend beyond its means is a recipe for disaster that eventually reaches a point of no return.
Beyond this point, a government has two options to bail itself out. The first is to oppressively tax its citizens, in the misguided hope that they can beat the law of diminishing returns that will set in when they confiscate the capital that could otherwise be used to expand the economy (and the tax base) in order to pay their day-to-day bills. Inevitably, such practices increase the speed of the death spiral of that monetary system (often accompanied by a loud flushing sound).
The second method of irresponsible evasion is to run the government printing presses non-stop in order to create an inflationary spiral. If the value of the currency decreases, so too does the value of the debt incurred. While this works for a while; eventually the chickens come home to roost, usually about the time that a piece of paper currency with far too many zeros on it is required to purchase a loaf of bread.
In his book, "Applied Economics", Thomas Sowell calls this 'Stage One Thinking', a practice of not thinking beyond the immediate consequence to the longer term effects of an action. While Congressional budgets are often rife with this behavior, this is not the only concept that seems to be misunderstood however. So since those in the government and media insist on misdirection or code words in their discussions of the subject, let's clear up a few of the most important.
Revenue enhancements are tax increases! The only money that government has is what it gathers through taxation and tariff. The only way that government can enhance revenue is through taking more of it from its citizens. A spending cut is reduction in the amount of spending done. It's not a reduction in the budgetary growth of a program or a reduction of a previously inflated budgetary number. Fair … Sorry. This word can simply no longer be allowed when talking about economics by either the government or the media. Neither should it be used in judgment of taxes or spending (and never with the word 'share'). Its current definition has become more a product of emotion and ideology than one of objective fact. Somebody is just going to have to come up with a different measure of these subjects and a better descriptive term, since this one is damaged beyond repair.
Its past time for Congress in fact to stop using misapplied terminology and accounting tricks to hide their lack of backbone and economic acumen. It's obvious that they don't understand basic economics or we wouldn't be in this jam in the first place. A little more plain language and bit less double bookkeeping (that would be illegal in the private sector) might be just what's in order.
While we're at it, can we please stop having them talk about 10-year budget reductions where no reducing happens for the first 3-5 years. Legislators need to show at least enough honesty to cut spending immediately when necessary, and while they're still in office; and not (like the deficit) leave it to those who come after. It's time to quit substituting 'Wimpy Economics" for real budget debate, "I will gladly give you spending cuts Tuesday, for a tax increase today." Such nonsense simply won't cut any longer.
That's Economics 101… class dismissed.

The Placeholder name has a storied place in WoW's history. Long ago in the original beta, an NPC named Captain Placeholder teleported players from Menethil Harbor to Auberdine before the transport ships had been created. He triumphantly returned to live realms for a time after a bug broke the ships. Years later, he showed up in the Cataclysm beta as Cap'n Placeholder, though he served no purpose and never appeared in the release version of the expansion. An NPC conversation in Menethil harbor spoke of him as an Alliance hero, stating "Nobody could hold a place like him. Nobody."
In the Mists beta, a newly promoted Adm'rl Placeholder once again saved the day. He transported players from Orgrimmar and Stormwind to the Valley of the Four Winds while the Jade Forest zone was closed for remodeling.
Is Placeholder the famous captain's sword? What item will it become? Why is it marked as junk? Why does it stack to 20, and what "reward not yet complete" will eventually find its way into our backpacks? A future patch will reveal all! Until then, hold a place in your heart for this amazing sword.

Yes, I make mistakes. I said economic news was being once more relegated to space between articles on food and the comics. But there they were, the front page, early page articles,and several opinion pieces dealing with economic topics in the latest edition of the International Herald.
President Obama's full court press for a health bill had full coverage. And as I have stated in my last two blogs, it is the cost of health care that is generating all the press. No one disputes the quality or effectiveness of the care itself.
And there was Henry Kissinger on the Op-Ed page trying desperately to discuss seminal change in the world economic order in political terms and concepts. Hard to break habits acquired over a lifetime.
Finally there was many people's economic guru Warren Buffett nervously fretting about rampant Federal Government deficit spending eventually leading to a bigger problem than the exploded credit bubble. Buffett frankly allows, as I have done repeatedly, that massive Federal spending - TARP, TAFL, Sitmulus Program, acquiring Fannie Mae and GM, investing in banks and such - saved the economy from certain ruin. He pays tribute to the key officials of the Bush and Obama administrations who managed to stave off economic collapse as I have also done.
But Buffett fears that all this deficit spending will lead to inflation and worse. He cries that our national debt, compared to our GDP, has grown too fast, However, he admits that it is still smaller than the ratio for such countries as Japan and Germany. In fact we have a long way to go to catch up to other major economies in amassing central government debt. Even our Federal deficit, expressed as a percentage of GDP, is less than most other major economies.
Another Buffett worry is that foreigners, especially the Chinese, may opt to put their excess dollars into buying US shares and companies and real estate, instead of Treasury bills. However, as someone who sells US property to foreigners, I would welcome additional buyers.
Buffett then warns that, even if domestic investors were to buy $500 billion in Treasury bills, there would still be a shortfall of $900 billion needed for Federal deficit spending. He conventiently overlooks the record for the last year in which private US investors have left the private sector to put their trillions of dollars, not billions, in T bills.
Buffett winds up saying that Uncle Sam will have to resort to keeping the money printing presses working overtime to provide the financing the Feds will need. Well, the Feds have no intention of retiring our National Debt. They will simply rollover the debt ad infinitum while adding to the pile as they go along.
Well I may be wrong in predicting an early departure of economic news from being front and center in the world's media, but in this case I am pleased to see that I have been wrong.

In recent years there has been a strong international move toward knowing and improving the quality of information used in the mining industry for mineral project exploration reporting and resource/reserve estimation. In Canada this trend has been accentuated because of recent, highly publicized scams that involved contamination of samples. An important aim of quality control procedures is to minimize the likelihood of such scams so that the public is not misled as to the economic potential of a mineral deposit. Quality control procedures also serve the technical purposes of identifying sources of and quantifying both random errors and unintentional bias in sampling, subsampling and analytical routines and thus provide the basis for improved procedures of data collection that translate into improved resource/reserve estimates.
One of the important reactions in Canada to recent mining scams has been the implementation of what is known as National Instrument 43-101 (NI43-101) in which a wide range of requirements, relating to mineral project reporting and resource/reserve estimation, are laid out. These requirements identify a Qualified Person (QP) who is responsible for all technical matters related to obtaining and publicizing both assay data and resource/reserve figures.
This course incorporates a variety of procedures designed to fulfill the requirements of NI43-101 insofar as standard, blank and duplicate samples can be used to define and monitor quality of geochemical and assay values that are the basis of deposit evaluation.
The International Standards Organization (ISO) has developed a variety of widely distributed publications dealing with quality control systems for a wide range of industrial settings. The application of the ISO standards to resource/reserve estimation procedures necessarily involves all steps of the published procedures. Too often quality control is thought of only in terms of quantitative measurements. A broader perspective is essential and must include the categorical and qualitative data that are inherent in geological studies.
Course Content
The course comprises 22 viewing sessions at both summary and text level, plus multiple-choice reviews, worked examples and exercises, and a comprehensive glossary. Course duration is equivalent to 24 hours of viewing content. An optional download of sample data files and P-RES software, a statistical tool for interpretation of assay results, is included. The former title of this course was "Quality Control of Assay Data."

The Last Story will launch across Europe on February 24th 2012, Nintendo have today confirmed.
The latest role-playing game from legendary developer Hironobu Sakaguchi sees players step into the role of Zael and a band of mercenaries in search of their fortune.
You'll find yourself undertaking a series of missions, exploring Lazulis Island as well as its medieval capital Lazulis City – all the while helping Zael to achieve his ultimate goal of leaving his life as a mercenary behind and becoming a true knight.
Unlike many titles within the same genre, The Last Story also includes online multiplayer elements including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Co-Op modes. You may battle against or alongside up to five other RPG fans from across Europe using your own customised character from the Single Player game.
The Last Story launches across Europe exclusively for Wii on 24th February 2012.
Alex Seedhouse+ Alex's early adoration for Nintendo began with a Yellow Game Boy and a copy of Donkey Kong Land. This developed over the years, later peaking when he hid in his room to play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time one Christmas. Nowadays, his enthusiasm is shared through Nintendo Insider, a place in which he can document his thoughts regarding the big N.

Just Joined/Ordered
Hey guys and girls. Been around these forums for quite a while and reading up on stuff. Yesterday i finally took the plunge and ordered myself a 12" ibook G4 and joined the forums.
Really looking forward to getting it and just wondering what prepartion i can do in the meantime before i get it. Its going to be my first ever Apple machine and i have only ever used apple computers for a total of like a few hours but i really love the interface and i know i will hopefully grow to love it.
So just wondering what i can do in the meantime i have been reading these forums and bought a few mac magazines.
Also what should i do once i get it in terms of updates and stuff.
Thanks :)
Preperation... hhhmmm get some clothe diapers to wipe your baby down after every use.
If you don't already have broadband, order it! Then get an Airport station or Wireless router :)
Welcome and congratulations. :)
Congratz! What you posted reminds me a bit about me -- I went to a CompUSA with a friend and started tinkering with a Mac. About 7 minutes later I was totally certain that my next hardware change was gonna be a Mac. Couldn't be happier! :)
Yep - cant wait! Whats better in terms of maintenance thing onyx or mcjanitor?
Also when i get it can i play with it stright away or should i stick it on charge and let it charge fully etc?
Also do you think i should get a mouse?
I'd say they are the same, I use neither - prefer to run all that manually with disk utility and the terminal. Post if you wanna see how and I will post itl
Sure would be great if you could show me how.
I've been using MacJanitor for while, and today I've downloaded Onyx to try it out. I'm very impressed with Onyx. MacJanitor does its job done as manually running cron jobs. Onyx does a lot more, in much more professinoal looking UI. High recommended.
Still waiting for my machine lol - i just cant wait any longer!
For my maintenance I use a program called Macaroni. You have to pay like $20 for it but it is customizable and runs thru your systems prefs automatically. I love it!
Also if you can, spring for the Apple wireless optical mouse it is sweet and will match your ibook... Mine works great and the batterys last for months at a time
Okay its coming today! What should i do when i get it? Charge it properly first or?
Apple recommend you fully charge it, then fully discharge it, then fully charge it again IIRC to calibrate the battery meter. But they just say "within your first week or so". Personally the first thing I did was start playing with it, as it had a couple of hours charge and I couldn't wait, then do the cycle thing later :) Seemed fine.
The cycle does take quite a while, to flatten the battery, which is a testament to the excellent battery life they at the very least *start* with. It's the first time I've ever been frustrated at how long a laptop takes to go flat :P
This is really, really helpful.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course is a comprehensive guide to the popular digital audio software from Apple, demonstrating the tools and techniques to create, edit, and publish music and podcasts. Author Todd Howard covers the ins and outs of the application, from interfacing with external devices, exploring Apple Loops, and recording instrument and vocal tracks to creating successful mixes, performing edits, and sharing finished projects. Additionally, the course introduces the new features in GarageBand '11, including Flex Time and Groove Matching, which provide powerful methods for editing and tightening up the rhythmic timing of tracks.
Well, this brings us to the end of GarageBand '11 Essential Training. I've surely had a great time recording it and I hope you've learned some things along the way that will be helpful to you in your own musical endeavors. In the meantime, if you have any questions or run into something you don't know how to handle, I have a web site recommendation for you: discussions.apple.com. If you navigate to iLife and then choose GarageBand, you'll find lots of ongoing discussions. Many of the people who post questions and answers there will also point you to their own blogs or other sites so that you can learn from and participate in the GarageBand community.
Also, I've written a book called GarageBand '11 Power! and that may be of use to you as well. Don't forget to check back here at lynda.com in the Online Training Library for audio and music courses old and new that may be relevant. Keep on playing and recording your music and have fun with GarageBand '11.

Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles & Niall Horan Sleep Naked Together!?
Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, and Niall Horan have all slept naked as they rode together on their tour bus. Yep, the One Direction boys love to sleep naked, presumably in their own separate beds.
In a recent interview Louis Tomlinson spilt the beans about sleeping in the buff on the bus. "[It's] so much easier!" said Tomlinson.
Of course, Harry Styles can't help himself jokingly answering, "Let it alllllll hang out, you know?"
The thing is, if the One Direction guys want to sleep in the nude, more power to them. The thing is, don't they think that it is a bit strange that they don't do this in the privacy of their own homes, but rather do it on the tour bus? One can imagine the eyeful that a manager (Simon Cowell for instance) would get if they wandered on the bus a little too early in the morning.
Hmmm, it makes one wonder a bit about Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Niall Horan. The question is this: Do Zayn Malik and Liam Payne join in on the naked bus ritual?

Little Scotlander - Tom Nairn's nationalism is stuck in the past, argues John Gray. In his desire to forecast the collapse of the union he seems scarcely to have noticed the country Britain has become

After Britain: New Labour and the return of Scotland
Tom Nairn Granta, 324pp, £15.99
by John Gray Published
The idea that the United Kingdom is an ancien regime on the edge of break-up is becoming commonplace, uniting commentators with little else in common. Some welcome the demise of Britishness; others view it as a looming catastrophe. There is no agreed view on why the British state is in crisis. Only one thing seems certain in this fashionable consensus: the dissolution of the UK, and with it the desuetude of Britishness, is inevitable.
If the belief that the UK is a doomed relic of Empire has become an idee recue, it is Tom Nairn, more than anyone else, who made it so. After Britain is a sequel to Nairn's seminal book, The Break-up of Britain, published over 20 years ago. Writing from a refreshingly quirky post-Marxist perspective, Nairn was one of the first to grasp that the old structures that held together the British multinational state were bound to unravel under democratic pressure. Nairn was able to anticipate the scale of the challenge to the British state, not only in Scotland but also in Ulster, partly because he took nationalism seriously. Nairn rejected the view of nationalist movements, purveyed by many thinkers on the liberal and Marxist left, as residues of tribal atavism. Rather, he understood national identities as distinctively modern expressions of an enduring human need. Nairn's prescience regarding the developments of the past 20 years is largely a by-product of this account of nationalism.
In The Break-Up of Britain, Nairn's grasp of the importance of nationalism gave him an edge that most commentators lacked. After Britain is a passionate polemic, muscularly written and packed with arresting apercus. No one can claim literacy in contemporary British politics who has not read it. Yet by the standards of Nairn's earlier work, this is a deeply disappointing book. Its analysis of Britain today trails uncomprehendingly in the wake of events. The constitutional reforms achieved during the past two years are analysed, and found wanting, by reference to the same model of Britain as a decomposing ancien regime that Nairn presented 20 years ago. The thought that the constitutional crisis he forecast then may now be in the past does not seem to have occurred to him as a serious possibility.
Nairn misreads the events of the past two years partly because, inspired by movements such as Charter 88, he has a fundamentalist view of constitutional change. Accordingly, he dismisses the devolution of power in Scotland set in place by the Blair government as a jerry-built halfway house between the unitary British state and full recovery of Scottish sovereignty. He is equally contemptuous of the settlement in Ulster, writing bizarrely that although the peace process "was made to look initially like a miraculous escape from deep-seated historical patterns . . . in the end it broke the back of Blair's all-round devolution project, and signalled the disintegration of the United Kingdom even more loudly than before". It is as if Nairn cannot be satisfied with anything short of the catastrophic fragmentation of the UK that he has long predicted.
Nairn's grudging view of the constitutional reforms of the past two years partly reflects his fetishistic reverence for constitutional formality. He cannot accept as genuine or potentially enduring any constitutional settlement that has been reached primarily through political negotiation. Here Nairn's attitude is reminiscent of the bourgeois legalism that old-fashioned Marxists loved to scorn. For Nairn, any programme of devolution that does not involve the machinery of a constitutional convention is bound to be fraudulent. The new Scottish Parliament cannot be other than a sham, if only because its creation did not include the renunciation of the Treaty of Union of 1707. Indeed it seems to be this legal detail, and not much else, that underpins Nairn's repeated and confident assertions that devolution in Scotland is no more than a stage on the way to the disintegration of the UK.
In fact, although there are already serious tensions in relations between the Westminster government and the new government in Edinburgh, there is nothing in Nairn's argument that shows the break-up of the UK to be inevitable, or even particularly likely. Much of his foreboding rests on an all-or-nothing view of sovereignty. But that anachronistic view obstructs an understanding of the reforms that have been achieved in the past couple of years. Think, for example, of the Irish peace process that Nairn so cavalierly dismisses. In the old language of sovereign statehood, the settlement that has been reached regarding the future of Northern Ireland is something akin to a co-sovereignty agreement between the UK and the Irish Republic. In the new context created by European institutions it amounts to a deeper mingling of sovereignties that are in some degree already pooled.
When sovereignty is fuzzy, as it is in the European Union, it makes little sense for nationalist movements to demand sovereign statehood. What is the point of seceding from the UK, if the new state that is thereby created gains practically nothing in terms of effective autonomy? If Scotland were to break away to become a "sovereign state", its defence policy would be subject, as it is now, to European strategic realities. Equally, the Scottish economy would be as much conditioned by the decisions of the European Central Bank outside the UK as in it. When no state possesses all its attributes, sovereign statehood ceases to be an overriding political objective. That is why independence is so low on the agenda of the Catalans, the Welsh and other European nationalist parties. The fuzziness of sovereignty today is one reason why Quebec has not separated from Canada. Why should Scotland be any different?
Nairn contends that the British case is sui generis. His only reason for making this claim, so far as I can see, is that, unlike other European states, Britain lacks a written constitution. But the blurring of sovereignty is a trend in many states regardless of their constitutional traditions. As Robert Cooper put it in his pioneering Demos monograph, The Post-Modern State and the World Order, since the end of the cold war the European state system has mutated. States no longer seek a balance of power as they did when there was a constant danger of war. Now that western Europe is a zone of peace, they seek security through mutual involvement in common institutions. In these circumstances the exclusive and unqualified territorial sovereignty given to nation states in the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 has little meaning. National interest remains a potent force; but the contexts in which it is asserted have changed radically. The Franco-British conflict over beef is a dispute over the requirements of European law, not sovereignty.
If the idea of sovereign statehood that Nairn invokes belongs in the past, his view of society is sadly monocultural. Aside from a rather formulaic mention of the Stephen Lawrence case, there is no reference in After Britain to the UK's Asian or black communities. The England it suggests is an ironic take on that of Ealing Studios. The England that actually exists is passed over as if it does not matter. But to project the break-up of Britain without consider-ing how it harbours Europe's most multicultural society is to blot out one of its most attractive features.
It is true that many people have a waning sense of being British. Even so, there are millions of people in Britain today who are unwilling to think of themselves as being, solely or even mainly, English, Welsh, Irish or Scottish. Nairn considers the idea that states can shelter multiple identities only to reject it. Yet for many people, being British has an appeal precisely because it is not a blood-and-soil identity that excludes all others. Nairn is right to remind us that Britain originated in a unitary state that has passed away, but he seems scarcely to have noticed the country that Britain has become.

In WordPress: Creating Custom Widgets and Plugins with PHP, Drew Falkman teaches PHP developers how to create custom functionality for WordPress 2.0 through 3.0 using widgets and plugins. This course starts by installing and setting up WordPress 3.0 on both Mac and Windows, then provides an in-depth look at tasks related to these WordPress add-ons: installing and administering, building and customizing, creating editable options and database tables, working with posts and pages, and utilizing jQuery and AJAX. There are also tutorials dedicated to promoting a widget or plugin, adding security, and localizing the interface. Exercise files are included with the course.
If you've created your own table in WordPress, you can insert and update data from it using the same wp_db class we used to get data out. We'll look at how to use the functions to do that, and I also want to discuss how to protect your application from SQL injection attacks. A quick note: just because you can insert an update directly to the WordPress database, it's a better practice to use the functions that are there to do this. That way if the table names ever change in future versions, your code won't break. So this is our plugin that we've created to detect browsers.
Currently, we have a database that's been created. Now we can use this plugin functionality to actually go in and update the database whenever a new user comes to the web site. So let's create a statement that's going to insert data into our database table. So the first step is we are going to create a function, and this is really going to be the hook that's going to be called. We are going to set it to the wp_footer hook. That action is used when the footer is generated, so it's a good time to essentially insert into our database that a new user has come to the web site. So I am going to call the function bdetector_insert_useragent.
Again, I am going to use the wpdb class to access my data. So I am going to declare it in the global scope. So, now I have access to it. I am going to create my table name and set it equal to wpdb->prefix, and I am going to add on bdetector. The next step is to use the insert function of the wpdb class to insert the data into the database. This is what it looks like: wpdb insert.
You pass the table_name that you want to insert into, and then you create an array, and in that array are going to be all the fields that you want to enter and their values. So it's going to be an associative array. So it looks like this, array. We are going to enter the user_ agent, and I didn't just make that up; this is this field here that I created earlier in my database. I am going to set the value to the $_SERVER string--this is a global PHP variable--and I'm going to get the HTTP_USER_AGENT.
There are number of things in that server scope, and most of these are obtained from browser header. So this should then insert that data into the database. The last thing I need to do is simply register this in a wp_footer action. So I'll call the add_action function, pass wp_footer, and I am going to call bdetector_insert_useragent. The next time I visit this site, this data should get inserted into the table.
So let's go ahead and visit our site and see what happens. So, I am going to open our site from the WordPress admin by clicking on the title. That should have loaded it. You can see it loaded. So hopefully it should be entered into the database. I can go in to my MAMP screen. This is my table from my database. If I click on the Browse tab, it should make a selection and get data out, and you can see indeed it did. It gave it an id of 1, it inserted the hit_date because I told it to default to the current date and time when the data was entered, and it input my user_agent.
So you can see I am using this Mozilla /5.0, which is Firefox browser, and it tells me my operating system, and there's a bunch of other information we can glean from this at a later date when we build the reporting tools. One other note: when you do insert like this, you can always access the data that was inserted by referring to the insert_id property of wpdb. So if you need to get that for any reason, you can access it using this methodology.
One other thing to go over quickly is in order to secure things, you want to make sure that you specify the types that come in. In this example, we're getting something from a server scope, but if we are getting something that's user entered, it's possible that they can do what's called the SQL injection attack. What this will do is they essentially append SQL on here that can do deleterious things to your database. It's not something to be looking forward to, and the way you can get around this is this insert method actually allows you to pass what types of data you're entering as variables.
So that way anything that comes it will verify that the date you entered is indeed the right type. So what you do is you add another argument after this and you specify for the array what the different data types are, and they're always going to start with the percent sign, and then you can do S for a string, D for decimal, and F for a Float, so I would add an array. Since I am just inserting the single string, I am just going to verify that this is a string. That will enforce this data type and make sure that no one entered any SQL into here.
So if I were to run it again, it would work the same way, and you'd see it enters another bit of data, but in that instance it verified that it was that type of data. There is also a prepare method that you can use if you're doing a select statement. It's not necessary to insert an update because they're safe; however, if you're running a select query with dynamic variables, it's good to use the prepare statement. It works in basically the same way, only you write your SQL and afterwards, you append an array of the values you need.
There is further information if you look in the function reference for wpdb. You should be able to find the information about that function. So, the WordPress wpdb has insert and update methods that essentially allow us to enter data into the database safely and easily. We can also use the prepare method to clean other dynamic SQL statements. The update method works basically the same way. The difference is there's a third argument to the update method that will take the where clause information-- essentially the ID and value that you want to use to update--and then your data types will be in the fourth argument.
We'll look at the prepare statement, and we'll talk more about SQL injection hacks when we get into the Security video later on. So the WordPress database class comes with some special functions--insert and update--to edit the data in your database. This can be extremely helpful, and it can also keep you secure from SQL injection hacks.

In just a few short days the 2012-13 school year will get underway.
Stores will likely be bustling this weekend with the last-minute back-to-school shopping... and students are eager to get back into the classroom.
This is where you hear the familiar sound of a record being scratched.
OK, not every student is ready to go back, but don't you remember the excitement of the first day of school?
By: Kristie Hammon
The other morning my friend and co-worker Cristy and I devised a solution for all the major problems of the universe.
Everybody stop.
Just stop. Take a breath. Step back. Chill out.
Politicians, stop politicking. Forget about focus groups and pork spending and back room deals and war room strategies. Democrats aren't evil and neither are Republicans, so stop treating people with whom you disagree as enemies. We're all Americans, so stop!
As summer is drawing to an end, I hope that recreation will be better defined in the near future.
As many know by now, the county and the city have agreed to enter into an inter-local agreement which will combine all parks and recreation.
First off, let me go on record as saying that I heavily support the decision of the county and city to do so.
Barely a handful of Cynthiana men are wanting some changes in their neighborhood park and they are willing to put in the sweat equity to make it work.
Their hearts are in the right place.
"It's for the kids," said Howard, aka "Hud," Custard, who is just one of the voices behind a plan to grow the Rev. Ross Park.
There used to be swings in the small park that runs along side the South Fork of the Licking River.
By Bill Penn, Guest Columnist
This month is the 150th anniversary of the First Battle of Cynthiana, fought on July 17, 1862.
On July 4, 1862, Morgan began the First Kentucky Raid in Knoxville, moved his column through Tompkinsville, Glasgow and Lebanon, finally entering the Bluegrass in mid-July. Morgan's assignment by Brigadier General Braxton Bragg was to lay the groundwork for a later Confederate invasion to occupy Central Kentucky by disrupting Federal use of railroads, communications, and military supplies.
Every once in a while, I have the pleasure of writing a column that has small traces of comical relief.
Most of those columns steer clear of making me look anymore naïve or goofy than I already do. However, this is one tale that is simply too funny to keep among such a small group of people.
Two weekends ago, I had the pleasure of accompanying my best friends and their parents to their get-away home located near Lake Cumberland.
The week before we left confirms that I am still like a child the night before Christmas. The suspense was almost too much.
I've never been a huge fan of fireworks.
They scare me and I fear for the person setting them off. I just get nervous and jittery.
I suppose I've written too many stories about the hazards of fireworks over the years; each one starting off with a horror story about something exploding before it should have, someone losing a finger or their body being burned.
Not comfortable around fireworks doesn't even come close to my fears.
Summer's here and the time is right, for dancing in the street.
That's right, it is definitely summertime in Harrison County.
Summer, when I was younger, was without a doubt my favorite time of the year.
Summer meant no more school for a few months and, to be honest, that was the bulk of why I chose summer as my favorite time of the year.
Now that I am older, I guess fall would be my favorite time of the year due to it being the time of hunting.
However, for the sake of the column, I will focus on summer and not what I prefer.

This Quopic of the Day started off being for January 20th, but since it's so late (thanks to the difficult task of deciding on which pic to use), we figured we'd make it for both January 20th and 21st!
This Quopic was inspired by the Word of the Day from the Merriam Webster Dictionary!
The Word of the Day is: darling
- a dearly loved person
- favorite
Synonyms: pet, dear, favorite, beloved
As soon as I read this word, I remembered that Eric called Sookie, "Darling" in one of the episodes of True Blood! Can you remember which one? This Quopic of the Day will help you remember!
Check out the Quopic of the Day for January 21st below!
Eric: "Everybody thinks you're a darling, don't they?"
Sookie: "I AM a darling."
Eric: "Yeah, but you're ruthless when it comes to the people you love. You'd do anything for them. Your brother, your friends…me."
~ True Blood: Season 2; Episode 9 – "I Will Rise Up"
Here's something you don't know. This screencap was reported on Facebook for being too pornographic. Eric Northman Lovers United (who provided this picture) told us. We're not sure who reported it, but we did have it on posted on our Facebook page, but now it's gone. We've said it before…we'll say it again. Eric and Sookie are just too hot for Facebook! LOL We've had some photos reported and deleted as well!
But look at that tongue action! Who wants to be in Sookie's place in this pic?
Okay, all of you darlings, feel free to share your thoughts about this episode and scene below!

MSI passes a 7-inch Android tablet through the FCC
Samsung beefed-up their sub 10-inch tablet lineup this week, and it looks like MSI is planning to do the same. The company passed a 7-inch Android tablet called the MS-N7Y1 through the FCC today. The device sports dual cameras, HDMI out, a microSD card slot, as well as Bluetooth and WiFi. FCC documents do not reveal the speed of the device's processor, and it does not appear that the MS-N7Y1 will offer 3G connectivity. It appears that the device will run Android 2.3.1, not Honeycomb.
No word yet on pricing or availability.

Palm Beach 4, Bradenton 1
JUPITER – The Marauders (44-41, 9-7) were stymied by Tyrell Jenkins (W, 3-1) and Sam Tuivalala (S, 3) on Saturday night, falling 4-1 to the Palm Beach Cardinals at Roger Dean Stadium. Jenkins went seven innings, surrendering just one unearned run. He did not strike out a Marauder.
The Cardinals plated three runs in the second inning against Tyler Glasnow (L, 4-4). Nick Martini and Anthony Garcia hit consecutive singles with one away, and Mason Katz walked to load the bases. Cesar Valera plated Martini with a sacrifice fly, and Gerwuins Velazco followed with a double to plate two more runs and put the Cardinals up 3-0. Charlie Tilson singled to center, but Raul Fortunato threw out Velazco at home to end the inning.
Glasnow worked into the seventh for the second time in three starts, both times against the Cardinals. He struck out six over 6 2/3 innings, but allowed a season high in hits, giving up seven knocks while allowing all four runs (three earned). Thomas Harlan retired all four batters he faced, striking out one.
Walker Gourley had two hits for Bradenton. Jordan Steranka drove in the only Marauders run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Josh Bell finished 1-for-4 with a run scored.
The rubber game of the series is at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. Orlando Castro will start for the Marauders. Castro has allowed just one earned run in the second half of the season. Joe Cuda starts for the Cardinals.

Santa Fe Police need immediate assistance in locating a wanted suspect who is considered armed and dangerous.
Tyler Schrader, 26, is also one of the New Mexico Corrections Department's most wanted absconders.
On March 19, officers with the Santa Fe Police Department attempted to apprehend Schrader at the Quality Inn on 3011 Cerrillos Rd. He is wanted on three outstanding warrants.
As officers knocked on his hotel door, Schrader jumped out of a second story window avoiding arrest and escaping from police. Schrader has ties to Albuquerque, where detectives are actively searching for him and may be headed to Phoenix, AZ.
Besides the three active SFPD warrants, the suspect is also wanted by the State Department of Corrections for aggravated fleeing from law enforcement.
Shrader is 6'1", 175lbs.
If you have information on the above incident please call Detective Mathew Martinez (505)955-5060 or SFPD Dispatch at 505-428-3710.

MILWAUKEE—Shen Yun Performing Arts put on its second of two performances in Milwaukee, on Feb. 20, at the Milwaukee Theatre.
Richard Rosenbalm, a retired accountant and once owner of Level Valley Creamery, attended with his wife, Christine, a retired banker. They were well entertained.
"The costumes are magnificent," Mr. Rosenbalm said. "The dance is spectacular; the ladies are lovely. We have enjoyed it every minute so far."
The couple enjoyed a performance of New York-based Shen Yun, a company reviving 5,000 years of divinely inspired dance, principally through the vehicle of classical Chinese dance.
Mr. Rosenbalm said that one of the things he learned about Chinese culture was "They celebrate life pretty much the way everyone else does in a very, very nice manner."
His wife agreed: "They just love life and that means so much to them."
Through classical Chinese dance, Shen Yun "weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales," according to the company's website.
Depicting modern times, some of dances reveal the current repression of traditional Chinese beliefs.
"Obviously there is some level of oppression and not feeling as good about it today as it was back in olden days," Mr. Rosenbalm said, giving his impression.
Mrs. Rosenbalm was intrigued by one dance called, Sand Monk Is Blessed, a dance depicting a classic story of Chinese lore: "Heavenly children emerge to lure the man-eating ogre out from the river, but the ogre finds that these children simply cannot be caught, and is instead caught himself," as described in the program notes.
The animated backdrop has figures appearing onscreen seemingly come to life onstage when live performers take over their roles.
"It was just so magnificent how they brought the characters out of the water into the
actual play. It was just—I've never seen anything like that. It was just really, very pretty," she said.
Mrs. Rosenbalm also said would tell her friends and colleagues "If you never see anything with more beautiful costumes and dancing, I mean, this would be the show to go to. I have never seen anything like this. It's very, very nice."
Reporting by Stacey Tang and Andrew Darin.

RALEIGH — Watch with appropriate angst as the evil Dr. Krupp builds a monstrous nightmare robot in order to steal valuable Aztec treasure from a centuries-old living mummy named Popoca. Witness terror turned loose in a fight to the death when the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences shows "The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy" on First Friday, April 4, at 7pm. Free.
Dr. Krupp, also known as "The Bat," is played by Luis Aceves Castañeda, who is perhaps best known (although it's a stretch) for his roles in critically acclaimed Luis Buñuel-directed films including "Mexican Bus Ride" (1952), "Nazarin" (1959) and "Simon of the Desert" (1965). On a slight tangent, Buñuel is widely known as the father of cinematic Surrealism, was a close friend of Salvador Dali, and even won the Best Director award at the 1950 Cannes Film Festival for "Los Olvidados," his film about Mexican street urchins.
Krupp's former colleague, Dr. Eduardo Almada (played by Ramón Gay) attempts heroism as he fights to keep the mad scientist from creating his robot. Gay had a fairly busy film career stretching from mid 1940s to 1960, when he was shot dead by the enraged ex-husband of actress Evangelina Elizondo, whom Gay had "shared credits with" in the play "30 Seconds of Love."
"The Robot vs the Aztec Mummy" (1958) is the third movie in this classic Mexican mummy series, following in the shuffling footsteps of "La Momia Azteca" (The Aztec Mummy) and "La Maldición de la Momia Azteca" (The Curse of the Aztec Mummy), each of which featured the same cast of primary characters.
Teens — want to know where the cownose ray goes? Find out at this month's Teen Science Café [2] (6pm, Daily Planet Café). Marine creatures use an array of strategies to move throughout the ocean, but directly tracking organisms across vast spatial and temporal scales is daunting. Join NC State doctoral student Doreen McVeigh for a look at how she uses study organisms, including cownose rays and deep-sea invertebrates, to explain the fascinating ways organisms move and connect with each other.
The Museum stays open from 5 to 9 pm on the First Friday of every month, inviting visitors to witness a (classic) sci-fi or horror movie, wander through eye-catching exhibits, or enjoy food and beverages at the Daily Planet Café. Additionally, the Museum Stores offer after-hours shopping (till 7pm) and an opening reception for Dale McEntire, whose show "Seeking the Crescent: Contemporary Landscapes" runs April 4-27 in the Nature Art Gallery. All exhibited art is for sale.

The future of societies around the world is being shaped by six drivers outside the realm of government control. Powerful changes related to demographics, globalization, environmental concerns, societal relationships, social stability and technology will affect virtually every government, demanding individualized responses suited to each nation, region and locality. These nearly universal drivers will require "perpetual collaboration" that starts with intensified, multi-directional communications, and shared operational and technical standards. Beyond those core essentials, effective strategies also hinge on government commitments to facilitate efforts involving multiple agencies (within and across borders), and improving partnering with transnational organizations.

Email to Smart Groups
I am a Mac Air 10.8.3 user. I have 16 Smart Groups of contacts for an event I manage, to all of whom I send out monthly notifications. There are no more than 90 contacts in each group and this has worked very well for 7 years. The only problems in the past have occurred when I send out emails to too many groups in the same session, when on my 9th or 10th group, I get the message: "Sending the message content to the server failed.Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
I think this is sometimes known as 'tarpitting". This has always righted itself if I turn the computer off and resume a few hours later.
However, since yesterday I have been unable to send any emails to my smart groups, getting the above message straight away.
Emails to individuals however send without any problem, likewise I receive emails without a problem. I deleted one smart group, and then created it again under the same name, hence with the same contacts. This too did not send. I created an entirely new smart group with a new name, containing some contacts chosen at random. This did send without a problem.
Can anyone explain what has happened and what I should do?
I assume that the server/isp involved has not changed since you were able to do this successfully? My first gues is that the ISP has changed its rules for the number of people that the same message can be sent to at one time. In essence the "tarpitting" rules are now triggered by sending the same message to a smaller group. I think i read somewhere that some ISPs trigger this with as few as 25 letters at the same time.
I'm not sure about this. It might be worth checking into with the ISP.
BTW thanks for letting me know what that is called. Every time I have seen it discussed it has been in very general terms and the word had not been exactly defined.

True Blood
When Will Russell Edgington Return in True Blood Season 5? Denis O'Hare Tells All
Ever since we saw the hole in the cement that once trapped Russell Edgington in the True Blood season 4 finale, we've been dying to know the whereabouts of the once (and future?) vampire king.
But we might have to wait awhile before finding out where Russell is — or how he's faring. In fact, we may not see a glimpse of his fangs until midway through season 5!
"I'm not going to come back to True Blood until mid-March," Denis O'Hare reveald to Sci Fi Now magazine. (Season 5 began filming in late November.)
"I had a meeting with Alan Ball last week, and they have devised an amazing trick to allow me to be present, but not fully acting."
Wha? Huh? What in Bon Temps can that mean? Is Russell, after being encased so long, turned into some sort of mummy, able to speak but not move? Or perhaps he will be issuing more rants via television appearances or even the Internet.
Russell Edgington, vampire blogger?

Warren, Turner Lead Pack Past `Canes at the ACC Tournament
March 13, 2014
Box Score | ACC Tournament Interactive Bracket
GREENSBORO, N.C. - T.J. Warren and Ralston Turner combined to score 46 points, as the NC State men's basketball team advanced to Friday's quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament with a 67-58 victory against 10th-seeded Miami Thursday evening at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Warren, who was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year on Tuesday, led all scorers with a game-high 24 points. Turner added 22 points, including a 5-of-8 performance from beyond the arc. Anthony 'Cat' Barber led all players with seven assists.
Miami (17-16, 7-11 ACC) was led in scoring by Rion Brown with 22 points.
NC State (20-12, 9-9 ACC) opened the contest on a 10-2 run prior to the first media timeout. Warren scored five points during this stretch, while Turner added a three-point field goal, as the Pack opened the game 4-of-8 (.500) shooting from the floor.
State took a 26-22 lead into the halftime locker room. Warren led all scorers with 12 first-half points, while Brown led Miami with eight points. The Pack held a 12-1 advantage in points off turnovers in the half, forcing Miami into nine first half turnovers and turning the ball over just one time.
The Pack came out strong in the second half, quickly going on a 6-2 run over the first 2:31 and forcing a Miami timeout. State forced Miami into two turnovers on back-to-back possessions that led to two quick baskets from Warren and Kyle Washington.
After the Hurricanes took their first lead of the game with 14:16 to go, State responded by scoring the next five points, including a Warren jumper and Turner's third three-point field goal of the game from the right baseline.
Miami regained the lead, 53-51, on a three-point field goal by Davon Reed with 3:52 to go, but Warren and Turner combined to score the next seven points for State to give the Pack a five-point lead with 1:46 left in the game.
The Hurricanes closed the lead to seven points, but NC State hit five free throws with less than two minutes to play to seal the victory and advance to Friday's quarterfinals.
Up next, the Wolfpack will face second-seeded Syracuse in the quarterfinals on Friday, March 14. The contest will begin at 7 p.m.

A mild Thai slow cooker dinner idea. You should use a 4-quart slow cooker or larger.
1 lb. large shrimp, deveined, shells on
8 cups vegetable broth
1 cup diced carrots
3 stalks lemongrass, crushed
4 slices gingerroot
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup cubed butternut squash (1" cubes)
1-1/2 tbsp finely chopped fresh Thai basil*
1-1/2 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
1-1/2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 serrano chili pepper, seeded and thinly sliced**
Freshly squeezed juice of 2 limes
1 can (14 oz.) unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 tsp sambal oelek chili paste***
6 lime wedges
* Thai basil can be found in Asian supermarkets. If you can't find it, you can substitute Italian basil.
** If you can't find a serrano pepper, you can substitute 1 tsp hot pepper flakes.
*** Sambal oelek is an Indonesian-inspired chili sauce that can be used to "heat up" any food. In many Asian countries, it is commonly offered as a condiment — even by hot dog vendors. You can find it in the Asian section of many supermarkets. Once it is opened, it's a good idea to store it in the refrigerator.
Step 1: Remove shells and tails from shrimp and reserve. Place shrimp in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
Step 2: In slow cooker stoneware, combine shrimp shells and tails, broth, carrots, lemongrass, ginger and garlic.
Step 3: Cover and cook on low for 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until stock is bubbling. Strain broth and return to slow cooker. (Discard solids.) Stir in squash, basil, mint, cilantro, chili pepper, lime juice, coconut milk and chili paste.
Step 4: Cover and cook on high for 25-30 minutes or until squash is tender. Add shrimp and cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
Step 5: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with lime wedges.

What about VA? We can't just talk about MD and forget VA. The Borders at Fraconia-Springfield and Woodbridge are also spared. However, the one in Stafford is not so lucky.
TBD and Channel 7 are oriented to the metro DC area. If I lived in DC and wanted to go to Borders, Silver Spring is much closer than Stafford - plus the Silver Spring store is just a couple of blocks from Metro, something the Stafford store can't offer DC residents.

Though browsing through Platt's portfolio will show you just how talented he is at pulling a room together, you'll also see how intelligent he is. He also states that he values luxury, but is brilliant enough to know that luxury in one home is different than luxury in another home. Different people value different things. That's why he might design an airy, spacious-feeling residence in a tiny New York apartment, or a sumptuously detailed room in a too-spacious Californian home. He senses what a particular home owner needs not just in terms of color and furnishings styles, but on a deeper level.
Of course, there is that layer of gorgeous style, as well. Platt's interiors are varied, featuring lots of intricate textures, details, patterns and lots of colors. Layered, they always feature complicated yet understandable furniture layouts that give rooms so much interest and maximize efficiency. He also values fine craftsmanship, and often incorporates high-quality pieces in his interiors. He also loves material, and always finds the most exceptional of materials like leather, resin, marble and more. Always conscious of our impact on the planet, he also treasures eco-friendly solutions when possible.
In the business for years and having had a firm for over 20 years, it's clear that Campion Platt (pardon our rhyme) knows where it's at. Earning an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan, Platt also got a masters degree in Architecture—so he's got the schooling to back up his skills. He's also quite popular with the celebrity set, often designing spaces for celebs like Al Pacino, Meg Ryan, Roger Waters, Conan O'Brien, Jay McInerney and Anne Hearst. Though he does a lot of residential homes, his firm also tackles boutique hotel design and other commercial and hospitality spaces.
