BRASHER - A Fort Drum wounded warrior reeled in a 47-inch muskie as the top catch of the day during Saturdays annual muskie challenge in Brasher.
Spc. Mark Miranda caught the muskie with his guide, Mike Small, who broke the muskie record for fly fishing - 50 inches - during last years inaugural event on the St. Regis and Deer rivers.
American Legion Post 514, Winthrop, worked with FISHCAP to arrange having Fort Drum soldiers come in Friday night and then head to the river for a day of fishing on Saturday.
FISHCAP is an initiative that promotes the St. Lawrence River Valley as a premier fishing destination.
Fourteen soldiers, including seven wounded warriors, visited Brasher for the challenge.
There were some that were prior military members. We had 14 boats with a soldier and guide, Post 514 Commander Jim Stickney said. Things went excellent. The day went very well.
The soldiers arrived Friday night and stayed at Jellybean Riverside Campgrounds.
At the campground, on top of the free site they offered, they had a band afterwards. I cant say enough about Jellybean Riverside Campground, Mr. Stickney said.
They were treated to a 6 a.m. breakfast at the American Legion and then, with a bag lunch in hand, hit the river with their volunteer guide for a day of fishing.
The soldiers and guides return to the American Legion for a free dinner, followed by a closing ceremony at 6 p.m.
They got off the river about 3 oclock. It was a very nice day. It was an active day for the muskie. Three were caught. Everybody was very pleased - the guides, fishermen and the townspeople were very receptive, Mr. Stickney said.
Everybody really enjoyed themselves. It was very relaxing. The soldiers really appreciated it. Most of them had been in the field a couple of weeks, he said.
Mr. Stickney said theyll be offering the event once again next year for soldiers, and they want to make it a bigger event, something they werent able to do this year because of the focus on the recent BASS tournament in Waddington.
In 2012, the first-time event for the Brasher area brought 32 soldiers from Fort Drum and 32 guides from around the area to Brasher to fish in the St. Regis and Deer rivers.
It also gave youngsters an opportunity to play flag football with NFL standouts who visited for the first-ever event.
A Punt, Pass and Kick contest was held at the Tri-Town Arena for kids 14 and under. The top five winners in each of four divisions - 8 years old and younger, ages 9 and 10, ages 11 and 12, and ages 13 and 14 - received NFL jerseys and moved on to participate in a flag football game with former Oakland Raider Eddie Kidd, San Francisco 49er Sam Kennedy, and Tampa Bay Buccaneer Monte Spencer.
The day also featured face painting, horse-drawn rides and a bouncy house and slide for family members of the soldiers and community residents.

This month's roundup of novel personal care launches looks at a new energizing roll-on product that could increase consumer options for convenient, on-the-go energy. Meanwhile, skincare launch highlights include a face mask for use at different stages of the menstrual cycle, and soft drinks have inspired a new ginger ale hand soap.
Unusual vegetable-based drinks are the highlight of this month's roundup of innovative product launches from the drinks industry, as canned tomato and zucchini drinks hit the shelves. In other news, drinking chocolate is a focus of innovation, with two novel formulations, while concerns about pack security and hygiene have extended to energy drinks with the launch of a new lidded can design.
Vitamin enrichment is on the agenda for a number of food industry players seeking to add an extra nutritional dimension to their product offerings. Among this month's rundown of novel new food launches are vitamin-enhanced popping candies and spice blends with microencapsulated vitamin and mineral combinations, potentially the start of a new trend in product nutrition.
Many consumers are looking to enhance the healthiness of their diets, but are unwilling to sacrifice sensory benefits in order to achieve this. Various manufacturers have focused on addressing this demand with new products, with recent launches including an acai variety of chocolate pudding and hamburger-flavored sunflower seeds. This focus is expected to continue to gain momentum in the future.
Productscan has recorded a variety of novel air freshening products this month, perhaps the most unusual of which is a toilet seat which features a built-in air freshener. Meanwhile, P&G has developed a new washing-up liquid which has an air freshener attached to its base. The introduction of these products demonstrates that there are new opportunities to fragrance nearly every room of the house.
Growing consumer interest in air fresheners has prompted an influx of new products that not only fragrance a room, but provide additional benefits, as reported by Productscan Online. With the recent release of a plugin that projects a light show and a gel freshener whose container closes when it gets too hot, consumers have no excuse for less than fragrant smelling rooms.
For decades consumers have been content to drink their tea and coffee in the traditional way; hot with milk, and with little variation from the traditional formulas. Now, however, manufacturers are keen to exploit the rise in demand for healthier alternatives, with Productscan Online reporting on a self-cooling ready-to-drink tea and a coffee made not with coffee beans, but with ramon nuts...
Rising economic wealth and a preoccupation for personal appearance makes Latin America a burgeoning region for skincare offerings. Datamonitor's ConsumerGraphics database highlights how young adults represent a key target group for both now and the future. Focusing on increasing male usage also appears to be a key growth opportunity.
While the US downturn has had some negative impact on Avon, the direct beauty retailer's biggest problem has been the economic instability in Argentina. With that market unlikely to recover anytime soon, Avon will need to accelerate the time-to-market of its new business initiatives if it is to maintain earnings growth this year.

Founded in 1940, the Utah Symphony has become a vital presence on the American music scene through its distinctive performances worldwide and its well-known recording legacy.
And now the players of the orchestra are giving a free concert at the Emery High School auditorium at 7 p.m. on Sept. 24. This production will include the full orchestra (more than 80 musicians), conducted by music director Keith Lockhart.
Lockhart is also the Music Director of the Boston Pops Orchestra.
The symphony will also have with them the fabulous gospel singer, Renese King, who is coming in from Boston specifically for this event.
The concert will be 90 minutes in length without intermission to help accommodate those with children, or those who travel from a greater distance.
This concert is a volunteer effort by the musicians of the orchestra, with the generous help of many others within the Utah Symphony and in our community. We hope to show these communities our support by performing this concert.
The orchestra became recognized as a leading ensemble largely through the efforts of Maurice Abravanel, its music director from 1947 to 1979. Under his direction, the orchestra made its first recordings of works by Varese, Milhaud, Gottschalk, Honegger and Satie, as well as the first complete cycle of Mahler Symphonies.
Under Keith Lockhart, whose tenure as music director began in 1998, and Joseph Silverstein, music director from 1983 to 1998, the orchestra has continued its commitment to the music of our time, recording and premiering a number of American works.
The Utah Symphony has its home in Maurice Abravanel Hall, which is acclaimed as one of the world's great concert halls, having won awards for both its architecture and its extraordinary acoustics.
In addition to performing more than 70 subscription concerts in Abravanel Hall, the symphony regularly travels around the intermountain west serving communities in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.
In April 2005, the orchestra embarked on its first European tour in 19 years, visiting concert halls in Austria and Germany.
The orchestra accompanies the Utah Opera in four productions per year at Salt Lake's Capitol Theatre. In addition, the Utah Symphony performs numerous concerts as part of Utah Symphony and Opera's Deer Valley Music Festival, held each summer in the Park City mountain community.
Funding from the Utah State Legislature makes it possible for the Symphony to perform for over 55,000 students each year, both in Abravanel Hall and traveling to schools throughout the state.
With its many subscription, educational, and outreach concerts and tours, the Utah Symphony is one of the most engaged orchestras in the nation.

MASSENA - Robert C. Cooter, a talented veteran Special Olympian from Massena, enjoys the annual Torch Run from Ogdensburg to Massena each year because it gives him the chance to meet and better know area law enforcement officers.
Aside from their duties to protect the public, Mr. Cooter appreciates that many area law enforcement officers take the time and make effort to support athletic programs for people with disabilities.
More than 50 area law enforcement personnel from multiple agencies - ranging from corrections officers at the Ogdensburg and Riverview facilities and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to state troopers, sheriffs deputies and officers from the Ogdensburg and Potsdam police departments - took part in the Torch Run, an annual 36-mile race that raises funds for Special Olympics New York, according to Erin T. McCartan, development specialist for Special Olympics New York.
Ms. McCarton said many participants in Special Olympics New York idolize law enforcement personnel, which makes their presence at the games more meaningful to the athletes. Its nice at the games with law enforcement handing out the awards, and they look up to the law enforcement like theyre heroes, Ms. McCarton said.
The Torch Run was broken up into legs so that at least one person was running for all of the 36 miles, and some runners, such as Mr. Cooter, ran for stretches of several miles throughout various points in the race. Participants describe the race as casual, fun and non-competitive, with many residents cheering the runners on as they ran past.
The race ended at the Massena Town Hall, where runners were greeted Mayor James F. Hidy.
We have tremendous support from the community, said Timothy R. Welpe, a Torch Run volunteer and a former games coordinator for Area 27 of Special Olympics New York.
Asked why he continues to volunteer after working the Special Olympics for 27 years, Mr. Welpe said, Its a lot of fun. You make great connections, and I enjoyed running today.
In addition, the race helps encourage many people with disabilities to get active, exercise and lead healthy lifestyles.
For many, like Mr. Cooter, the race is chance to see the pay-off of months of training. I love these runs. I like working with the staff, Mr. Cooter said.
Organizers estimate this years Torch Run pulled in roughly $4,000 for Special Olympics New York. That funding came from law enforcement officers who purchased Torch Run T-shirts and from the local sponsors Pepsi Cola Ogdensburg Bottlers, Inc., Phillips Diner, AJs Septic, Jrecks Subs, Busy Corner Cafe & Tanning, Gary and Alleens Hairstyling, Wayside Tavern, Oak & More and Garys Auto, DeGrasse.
Participants also wanted to extend a thanks to Massenas Elks Lodge for providing a post-run lunch of pizza and wings.

The Pope's Toilet
Uruguayan directors Cesar Chalone and Enrique Fernández co-helm the nutty Spanish-language farce El baño del papa (The Pope's Toilet). The film unfolds in 1988, during Pope John Paul II's visit to Uruguay. While dozens of economically-struggling locals devise plans to turn a buck from the arrival of the papal father - such as baking cakes and wrapping chorizo sausages - only one concocts a scheme to earn a fortune from defecation. Beto, a nickel-and-dime smuggler, reasons that all of those cakes and sausages will be digested rather quickly and that over 50,000 locals will soon be clamoring to use the porcelain bowl. Of course, toilets abound in South America, but Beto sets his public toilet apart by crowning it with an aura of prestige - his will be the only Pope's Toilet in all of Uruguay, and residents, he is certain, will soon be clamoring to use it. Unfortunately, before he can set his scheme in motion, Beto must first locate the most appropriate toilet and make several risky trips across the Brazilian border and back to that end. Then, just as Beto is within arm's reach of success, someone thoughtlessly steals his beloved bicycle - further hampering his mission. Regardless of the complications at hand, however, Beto's determination persists.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Workers at the Habitat for Humanity house in Wellington install soffit under the roof.
On August 17, Wells Fargo Bank paired up with Castle County Habitat for Humanity to put a major dent in the balance of the work needed to finish the Habitat Project House in Wellington. Wells Fargo donated $10,000 for materials needed and then even brought a gang of hard working volunteers.
Their volunteers joined hands with Habitat board members and some local volunteers. The workers broke up into teams. While one team was installing cabinets in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room, others were busy putting siding on the outside. Some of the local volunteers were working on the soffits and last team was inside painting walls. The 10 Wells Fargo Volunteers came from as far away as Vernal and Moab, and some from Castle Dale and Price. There were also nine board members and four local volunteers helping out with their share of the work.

I read with interest, the article in the Dec.30 issue of the Sun Advocate about Senator Hinkin's views on what he sees happening in the near future. It was a rather lengthy, well written article.
His ideas bear merit and I appreciate his viewpoints, but the paragraph that really caught my attention said (and I quote) "...he said in a cell phone conversation on Monday morning as he drove through Salt Lake on his way to the state capitol for a meeting."
Given all the past, and recent attention to the dangers created by the use of cell phones while driving, and the fact that many cities and even some states have passed laws making the use of them in moving vehicles (by the driver) illegal, it would be interesting to know our newest lawmaker's views on this matter.
(Editors note: While being interviewed Mr. Hinkin's for the piece he did pull off the road while he spoke to us. We apologize for any confusion the line referred to in the letter may have caused.)

BAR HARBOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Saturday is the 13th annual FIRST LEGO League Competition in Augusta. And a team from Bar Harbor is preparing for the big day.
There are four components to the contest. Teams have to complete a table top competition, give a presentation on ways to help senior citizens, and give a presentation on their robot, they also will be judged on sportsmanship.
Dave Gallup is one of the coaches for the Bar Harbor team. He said these kids will learn lessons they can use latter on in life.
"They learn a whole set of problem solving, and they learn a whole set of kind of attitude of learning to deal with things going wrong," Gallup said
Gallup said if the team does well enough at the competition on Saturday, they could be invited to compete at competition at LEGO Land in San Diego.

We're building a new cafe, and we think you'll love it!
Earlier this year, we mentioned that we're working on a new project. We're completely reconstructing a 1500 square-foot space on the ground floor of a historic brownstone at 224 West 79th Street in Manhattan. From the building materials and brewing equipment, to the coffee menu and food offerings, we're designing a space that will be unlike anything we've built before, and a cafe experience we hope will be unlike anything you've ever had before!
We're still several weeks away from opening the doors, but we can't help our excitement as all the new components begin to fit into place. On the counter, we'll have a La Marzocco Strada and a beatifully hand-crafted bar for our Kalita pour-over gear—all of this to present our dynamic menu of blended and single-origin coffees that Dan Streetman, our Coffee Director, has been working hard to source. In addition to the coffee, our menu will feature craft beers, a small list of wines and local meats and cheeses. And, to take it all in, we'll have a back lounge with a skylight and a 10-foot community dining table made of reclaimed wood.
There's so much more to come, as we prepare to open. We'll bring you more updates soon! For now, we hope you enjoy the rendering above, courtesy of our friends at LEVENBETTS, who have designed the space.

Less than a week into the new cycle of "Basketball Wives: LA" Draya Michele and Sundy Carter are already publicly trading barbs!
Draya and Sundy haven't had much interaction on season 3 just yet, so they don't have much apparent reason to dislike each other. It's clear to anyone following the show that they are definitely feuding!
For starters, Sundy thinks that Draya is doing a terrible job of cleaning up her image.
"I feel like she's faking it until she makes it because everything she does is just so, not authentic. It's just not real," Sundy told CNikky.com. "You know, she portrays things like, you're the ambassador of this that and the third, when you're not even getting a check. I know the ambassador for these companies you understand what I'm saying? You don't get a check for that."
Addressing Draya directly, Sundy demanded, "I need you to post your pay stub and show me. Show me, show me the money!"
Draya doesn't think much of Sundy, either, arguing that her older cast mate doesn't have any other appeal aside from blasting her. "I guess hating on me in your interviews is what makes it interesting. They never mention the rest of y'all in my interviews tho. #sorry," Draya tweeted. "Talking bout pay stubs like she the irs. We all know my deals are official. Lol. She's pathetic."
Draya contined, "She's 40. 3 kids. 3 baby daddy's. No career. Id be bitter too."

Has This Team Tuned Out Another Coach?
Last night's game was pretty awful on all accounts. The first line had a few flashes and you have to appreciate the effort from David Ullstrom. He played like someone getting his first shot at the big time. Anders Nilsson didn't have a lot of help but he did make 30 saves including some big ones in the first. It's hard to knock a kid who was put in a very tough spot. Otherwise, things were pretty ugly and there's not a whole lot of use in dissecting a game that was more of a formality to Crosby's return than anything else.
Last year, when the Islanders were in a similar funk it got coach Scott Gordon fired. Some of the talk — as is standard for any coach getting canned — was about how the players had tuned out the coach. In this case, it was the 'task master' Gordon. If Jack Capuano is the friendly buddy cop, then Gordon was the hard-ass sergeant.
Naturally, we saw the team loosen up a bit after Capuano came on board. Regardless of the results of the stretch run last year, one thing that was there was effort. Credit that to Capuano or simply being in a pressure-free zone at the bottom of the standings as you see fit. But now that there has been an unbelievable lack of effort from the team the question is; was Capuano an agent for change or was it simply the change itself that inspired the team?
This team came out of the gates playing decently, some nights better than others. Some nights have had more effort than others. As we've gone along, the problems have snowballed. No one has been able to stem the tide or solve any problems. That responsibility falls on leaders in the locker room (looking at the newly appointed captain here) as well as the coach. But, ultimately, it is the coach's responsibility.
As we've gone along, little problems and big problems have each gotten worse and worse to the point that the team hasn't scored in seven plus periods and has been listless for a month. After Saturday's beat down at the old barn, Capuano was angry when talking to the media. Later, he held a closed door meeting with the team. Per Chris Botta:
Capuano, known for a player-friendly approach, was hard on his team in his postgame assessment after the Islanders were timid and uncompetitive throughout the drubbing by Boston… In search of answers, Capuano kept the players at the arena for two hours after the game. He must have been satisfied with his team's response because, after the meeting, he canceled Sunday's workout.
After a long meeting Saturday night, the team headed to Pittsburgh and repeated the effort and results that the coach had called them out both privately and publicly for. That sure sounds like a team that has bailed on its leader. It can certainly be said that last night's game was an oddity, an extremely tough environment given the circumstances. Regardless, to have a visual copy of the Boston game repeated after the coach calls out the team is a pretty strong indictment of what he is doing.
It certainly looks like this is a team that is down and out, beating itself up and magnifying the mistakes that it makes. Capuano personified as much in the post-game interview on MSG. He looked exhausted, as if he had used up all of his options to right the ship. Maybe as a player's coach Capuano was simply a welcome change last year when he replaced Gordon, the change itself helping to right the ship as much as the coach.

Several character set and collation system variables relate to a client's interaction with the server. Some of these have been mentioned in earlier sections:
The server character set and collation are the values of the
character_set_server and
collation_server system
The character set and collation of the default database are
the values of the
character_set_database and
collation_database system
Additional character set and collation system variables are involved in handling traffic for the connection between a client and the server. Every client has connection-related character set and collation system variables.
A "connection" is what you make when you connect to the server. The client sends SQL statements, such as queries, over the connection to the server. The server sends responses, such as result sets or error messages, over the connection back to the client. This leads to several questions about character set and collation handling for client connections, each of which can be answered in terms of system variables:
What character set is the statement in when it leaves the client?
The server takes the
character_set_client system
variable to be the character set in which statements are
sent by the client.
What character set should the server translate a statement to after receiving it?
For this, the server uses the
system variables. It converts statements sent by the client
(except for string literals that have an introducer such as
_latin1 or
collation_connection is
important for comparisons of literal strings. For
comparisons of strings with column values,
collation_connection does
not matter because columns have their own collation, which
has a higher collation precedence.
What character set should the server translate to before shipping result sets or error messages back to the client?
system variable indicates the character set in which the
server returns query results to the client. This includes
result data such as column values, and result metadata such
as column names and error messages.
Clients can fine-tune the settings for these variables, or depend on the defaults (in which case, you can skip the rest of this section). If you do not use the defaults, you must change the character settings for each connection to the server.
Two statements affect the connection-related character set variables as a group:
SET NAMES indicates what character set
the client will use to send SQL statements to the server.
SET NAMES 'cp1251' tells the
server, "future incoming messages from this client are
in character set
cp1251." It also
specifies the character set that the server should use for
sending results back to the client. (For example, it
indicates what character set to use for column values if you
use a
SELECT statement.)
statement is equivalent to these three statements:
SET character_set_client =
charset_name; SET character_set_results =
charset_name; SET character_set_connection =
character_set_connection to
charset_name also implicitly sets
collation_connection to the
default collation for
charset_name. It is unnecessary
to set that collation explicitly. To specify a particular
collation, use the optional
charset_name' COLLATE '
SET CHARACTER SET is similar to
SET NAMES but sets
collation_connection to
character_set_database and
collation_database. A
is equivalent to these three statements:
SET character_set_client =
charset_name; SET character_set_results =
charset_name; SET collation_connection = @@collation_database;
collation_connection also
implicitly sets
character_set_connection to
the character set associated with the collation (equivalent
to executing
SET character_set_connection =
@@character_set_database). It is unnecessary to
utf16le, and
cannot be used as a client character set, which means that
they do not work for
SET NAMES or
The MySQL client programs
mysqlimport, and
determine the default character set to use as follows:
In the absence of other information, the programs use the
compiled-in default character set, usually
The programs can autodetect which character set to use based
on the operating system setting, such as the value of the
LANG or
LC_ALL locale
environment variable on Unix systems or the code page
setting on Windows systems. For systems on which the locale
is available from the OS, the client uses it to set the
default character set rather than using the compiled-in
default. For example, setting
LANG to
ru_RU.KOI8-R causes the
koi8r character set to be used. Thus,
users can configure the locale in their environment for use
by MySQL clients.
The OS character set is mapped to the closest MySQL
character set if there is no exact match. If the client does
not support the matching character set, it uses the
compiled-in default. For example,
ucs2 is
not supported as a connection character set.
C applications can use character set autodetection based on
the OS setting by invoking
mysql_options() as follows
before connecting to the server:
mysql_options(mysql, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_NAME, MYSQL_AUTODETECT_CHARSET_NAME);
The programs support a
option, which enables users to specify the character set
explicitly to override whatever default the client otherwise
When a client connects to the server, it sends the name of the
character set that it wants to use. The server uses the name to
set the
character_set_results, and
character_set_connection system
variables. In effect, the server performs a
NAMES operation using the character set name.
With the mysql client, to use a character set
different from the default, you could explicitly execute
SET NAMES every time you start up. To
accomplish the same result more easily, add the
--default-character-set option
setting to your mysql command line or in your
option file. For example, the following option file setting
changes the three connection-related character set variables set
koi8r each time you invoke
[mysql] default-character-set=koi8r
If you are using the mysql client with
auto-reconnect enabled (which is not recommended), it is
preferable to use the
charset command rather
SET NAMES. For example:
charset utf8
Charset changed
charset command issues a
NAMES statement, and also changes the default
character set that mysql uses when it
reconnects after the connection has dropped.
Example: Suppose that
column1 is defined as
CHAR(5) CHARACTER SET latin2. If you do not
SET NAMES or
SET, then for
SELECT column1 FROM
t, the server sends back all the values for
column1 using the character set that the
client specified when it connected. On the other hand, if you
SET NAMES 'latin1' or
CHARACTER SET latin1 before issuing the
SELECT statement, the server
converts the
latin2 values to
latin1 just before sending results back.
Conversion may be lossy if there are characters that are not in
both character sets.
If you want the server to perform no conversion of result sets
or error messages, set
character_set_results to
NULL or
SET character_set_results = NULL;
To see the values of the character set and collation system variables that apply to your connection, use these statements:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set%'; SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'collation%';
You must also consider the environment within which your MySQL applications execute. See Section 10.1.5, "Configuring the Character Set and Collation for Applications".
For more information about character sets and error messages, see Section 10.1.6, "Character Set for Error Messages".

This example are usable for russian users who want to have windows-1251 encoding on the site and koi8-r encoding into the database:

If you are wondering why -despite all UTF8 settings- you still don't get non-ASCII characters right, it might be the case that:
1. you are using mysqlimport to insert data from files with utf8 characters;
2. you have created a Database with character set latin1 (this is the default!) and not with character set utf8.
3. You have created a Table with character set utf8.
Even if you use the --default-character-set=utf8 option for mysqlimport this doesn't work! Mysqlimport is only using the value of 'character_set_database' as character set and in this case it is 'latin1'.

This example shows how to configure mysqld server to use pure utf8 for server's character set and collation instead of default latin1. This will help to correctly store non-latin character data in db (cyrillic сharacters for example and russian language in particularly).
Go to the [mysqld] section in my.cnf and add two strings:
You can also add
to enforce using of utf8 encoding in db.

I tried all the above hints but still couldn´t get it to work (using mySql and PHP 5 server)... ´till I found and tried also this:
add to the .htaccess file this single line:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Still not sure why this was important to the whole, but now it works as planned! Thanks!

I've spent quite a lot of time trying to make MySQL 4.1 and PHP working with my tables in cp1251 charset.
Adding on my local PC the following line to the my.ini solved the problem but unfortunately I can't do the same on my hosting provider space
So after trying quite a lot of combinations finally I've found that I need to add only one query set just after connecting to the database in my php script
mysql_query ('SET NAMES CP1251');
Please note if you run another query like
mysql_query ('SET CHARACTER SET CP1251');
just after first one it will reset character_set_connection option and all your symbols most likely will be converted to the question marks as it happens for me many times before.

In my process of adjusting the charset variables to correctly display the Chinese characters,I found client and server not only interact with each other, but also interact with windows OS,although I don't know how and when. When I use java application to write Chinese characters in utf8 charset to the database, even if I set all charset variables to utf8, the characters can not display correctly. Only after I set some charset to gb2312, the standard national Chinese charset, the display is right. I guess that is because the default charset of Windows OS in Chinese version is gb2312, and in between the interaction of client and server, Windows also make some charset translations in the process.
Thus when you still fail to display the correct characters after trying various combinations of charset variables, try the code below:
SET NAMES the_default_charset_of_your_local_OS
Hope this can do some help!

Working in Windows environment, I had a problem submitting unicode data from ASP pages to the MySQL server while everything was set to utf8 .
It turns out the problem was that my ODBC driver was version 3.5.1 and that's what caused the problem. Installing version 5.1 solved the problem.

Here is an update to the documentation taken from http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35372
Updated the description for character_set_client:
The character set for statements that arrive from the client. The
session value of this variable is set using the character set
requested by the client when the client connects to the server. (Many
clients support a --default-character-set option to enable this
character set to be specified explicitly.) The global
value of the variable is used to set the session value in cases when
the client-requested value is unknown or not available, or the server
is configured to ignore client requests:
* The client is from a version of MySQL older than MySQL 4.1, and thus
does not request a character set.
* The client requests a character set not known to the server. For
example, a Japanese-enabled client requests sjis when connecting to a
server not configured with sjis support.
* mysqld was started with the --skip-character-set-client-handshake
option, which causes it to ignore client character set configuration.
This reproduces MySQL 4.0 behavior and is useful should you wish to
upgrade the server without upgrading all the clients.

Some Recently Added Customer Reviews4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:Great sun protection Prompt shipping! I got this swim shirt to take to Hawaii and use for snorkeling and surfing.

No sunburn and very comfortable.Published 3 weeks ago by K. Dryden1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:Awesome rash guard! Top rate customer serviceThis rash guard has quality better than the big name brands and is much less expensive. I like having one solid color without a brand name logo – and price. The company has responsive customer service, replied to my emails quickly.Published 1 month ago by J. Anderson4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:excellent shirtMy son can get blistering sunburns, but wearing these sun shirts under his soccer uniform stops damaging exposure to the sun. He loves wearing his shirts, says they make him feel like a superhero. Published 1 month ago by T. Lange
Purchasing the right rash guard shirt is an important decision for you and your family. We have put together this buyer's guide to help educate you on some important factors to evaluate before making your purchase. Below we will discuss the many styles of rash guards available plus key factors to consider when making your rash guard purchase.
(Also known as a surf shirt or swim shirt) a rash guard is an athletic shirt made from lycra worn primarily for the dual purpose of sun protection and preventing rashes commonly caused by chaffing from salt water and sand. Rash guard shirts are used for water sports as well as many land-based outdoor activities including: * Surfing * Swimming * Diving * Sailing * MMASPF rash guards are designed to protect the skin from sunburn and skin irritation while providing flexibility and comfort. We offer a large selection of styles and colors to suit your various needs. We proudly supply long sleeve and short sleeve rash guards for men, women, kids, and toddlers. We also have introduced a new cap sleeve women's rashguard. All Beach Depot rash guards are built for durability and comfort and can withstand abuse from salt water and chlorinated pools.
A quality rash guard needs to protect your skin from rashes while delivering a solid SPF factor. A Sun Protection Factor (like with sunscreens) is used to measure how well a product is blocking the sun's harmful UV rays. Beach Depot Rash Guards have an SPF 150+ rating making them more effective than the majority of SPF products (including sunscreens) on the market.Where a rash guard is manufactured and from what type of fabric is also a crucial buying factor. A well made rash guard needs to be constructed of a nylon/lycra combination to provide proper SPF protection. Many retail stores sell cheap versions of a rash guard made in foreign countries from lower quality fabrics with poor construction. Beware of these swim shirt off-brands as they do not provide the strong SPF protection and high performance comfort you and your family need and expect from a product. Beach Depot rash guards are 'Made in the USA' using high quality lycra and constructed with flat lock stitching , low crew neck for comfort, plus 4-way super stretch for maximum flexibility.
Choosing a rash guard style really comes down to your activities. A long sleeve rash guard will provide the most coverage for your upper body. A short sleeve rash guard is an excellent choice for hot weather. The color you choose is strictly a personal preference. All seven color options provide equal SPF 150+ sun protection.
Making the correct size choice is very important. You need to be comfortable in your swim shirt! Rash guards are made small with an athletic fit by design to prevent drag in the water. As a general rule of thumb, it is smart to order a larger size if you do not want a skin-tight fit. Many customers who prefer that tee shirt like loose fit order two sizes up from their normal size. Please see the size chart for actual measurements.

Would you play better if you knew what shot your opponent was going to hit when you approach the net? Of course you would – and it's possible to know, with a little practice.
Key Points:
1. Anticipation improves when you better understand your own shot and what options it gives your opponent.
2. If your approach shot lands short and gives your opponent time, expect a drive/passing shot attempt. Immediately close the net.
3. If you hit a deep approach, your opponent's best option might be a lob. Don't close the net as quickly and be ready to hit an overhead.

Naval Academy Garden Club Decorates Yard for Holidays
Posted on: December 17, 2013 09:00 EST by Naval Academy Garden Club
Members of the Naval Academy Garden Club have decorated the Naval Academy for the holidays for more than 60 years, but this year it truly a labor of love to provide the wreaths, greens, ribbons and other materials used around the Yard.
Due to budgetary constraints, no government funds were allotted to holiday decorations this year. Rather than leave the academy unadorned, the Garden Club voted to use their own funds to purchase the materials and keep this tradition alive.
Individuals with an interest in gardening and with some connection to the Naval Academy or one of the military services are most welcome to join the club.
For more information, contact club president Renée Little at 410-268-4934.

An Educational Experience Like No Other
Scripps College is a top-ranked national liberal arts college and a member of The Claremont Colleges. Scripps offers an intense learning experience with small classes on a campus famous for its beauty, and its approximately 950 students enjoy the individualized attention of expert and approachable professors in a tight-knit community.
As part of The Claremont Colleges — a consortium comprising Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer Colleges — Scripps provides the benefits of a mid-size university through shared facilities, co-curricular activities, and the ability to cross-register at any or all of the colleges.
Scripps offers an educational experience like no other, where students have the advantages of both a women's liberal arts college and a community of four other prestigious colleges a short walk away — and the professors know their students' names.
The Scripps academic program launches with its three-semester Core Curriculum in Interdisciplinary Humanities, a sequence of seminars exposing students to major concepts and debates shaping modern intellectual thought, and culminates with senior thesis, a project, written document, or creative performance designed by each student.
Combined, these experiences offer a high-impact set of practices; most colleges offer only one, at most. NSSE data supports the level to which students value the analysis, synthesis, critical reading and writing and other skills enhanced through the Scripps approach.
- 980 students representing 47 states and 21 countries
- Top states represented: California, Washington, Oregon, New York Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii, Colorado, Arizona, Connecticut
- Top countries represented: Botswana, China, Ghana, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand
- Students of color: 36%
- 114 faculty: 88 full-time, 26 part-time
- 99% possess a Ph.D. or appropriate terminal degree
- 58% of full-time faculty are women
- Minority: 27%
- Tenured: 71%
Student/faculty ratio is 10:1 in Claremont (including Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program).
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Scripps' 32-acre campus is widely recognized as one of America's most beautiful college campuses.
- 38 courtyards
- 19 fountains and ponds
- 22 varieties of edible plants on campus
- 76 species of trees on campus, including orange and olive trees from which students pick fruit
The average temperature in Claremont, California, is 63 degrees F, with an average high of 77 degrees and low of 50 degrees. Scripps has approximately 280 sunny days and 17.3 inches of rain annually.
Our campus is 20 minutes from skiing at Mt. Baldy; 50 minutes from entertainment, shopping and dining in downtown Los Angeles; 55 minutes from camping at Joshua Tree; and one hour from surfing at Huntington Beach.
The College is a top-30 national liberal arts college as ranked by U.S. News & World Report and was named one of the country's best colleges due to its accessible professors, rigorous academics, and high quality of life by the 2016 Princeton Review, which ranks Scripps College #16 in the nation for best financial aid. Forbes magazine ranks Scripps College one of America's top colleges, with an overall ranking of 80 in its Top Colleges 2015 list.

On Wednesday evening Nov. 4, a Jeep Liberty driven by B. Richardson crashed into a highway paint truck on SR-123 west of East Carbon City. The accident occurred when the Jeep attempted to pass two eastbound paint trucks. After passing the crash truck (intended to soften accidents should they occur) at normal speed, the Jeep pulled ahead and hit the painting truck. The two trucks were about 250 to 500 yards apart, and were traveling at approximately five mph.
Wellington fire and rescue responded to the scene and extracted Ms. Richardson from her vehicle then had her life flighted out to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. No information has been released about her condition.

Ketubah: Pointe of View Salon
Leading up to its main-stage performance of Ketubah - part of its March 3x3 program - Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre presents several opportunities to explore the inspiration and heritage behind the ballet. Join Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. for a Pointe of View Salon at the Jewish Community Center - South Hills. Explore the ballet, ketubah art and symbolism, and the cultural history of Jewish wedding traditions. Presenters: Rabbi Donni Aaron, a Jewish educator of JCC Pittsburgh; artist Judy Perlow; and Lisa Auel of PBT's Education Department.
About Ketubah
As one of three featured works in its March mixed repertory performance, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre will present the Pittsburgh premiere of Julia Adam's "Ketubah" – inspired by traditional Jewish wedding rituals – March 7-16, at the August Wilson Center. "Ketubah" is a critically acclaimed, lively, contemporary ballet inspired by the Eastern European Jewish Ashkenazi wedding ritual. Choreographer Julia Adam drew upon her own family roots when creating the piece for Houston Ballet in 2004. Set to Klezmer music, the performance follows one young couple from matchmaking to their wedding night. A vibrant ensemble of 16 dancers and evocative use of fabric depict and honor the mikvah, veil, chuppah, and other rituals and traditions that comprise a Jewish marriage celebration. The title, "Ketubah," refers to the marriage contract signed by the bride and groom on their wedding day. Adam creates a hybrid movement vocabulary of ballet, modern and Israeli folk dance to set the customs in motion.

Stoudemire's Minutes to be Limited
This has been reported in a few places though Mark Hale of the Post was the first I spotted it, but Mike Woodson said today that he would be limiting Amar'e Stoudemire's minutes going forward after stretching him to 28 minutes — including serious time down the stretch — in the loss to the Celtics.
"I just got word that I needed to back off because I shouldn't have done that," Woodson said. "His minutes will still be on a restriction. Probably around the 20 mark range. Somewhere in that area there. No more than 22-23 minutes."
Woodson added, "No setback but he was probably a little sore. That's the reason for it."
Brian DiMenna
I don't think it's fair to say Stoudemire's return has been a negative, but it definitely is a bit tricky for Woodson. He's got to not only juggle his minutes in a way that allows him to slowly work his way back to full strength, but also find out which lineups work best with Amar'e in them, while ensuring he's not doing anything that keeps the team from, you know, winning.
It's been noted several places that it seemed a little odd that Amar'e saw so much crunch-time run against Boston, but I suspect Woody thought he was playing reasonably well and wanted to see how he held up during some high intensity minutes against a good team.
The answer, unfortunately, was not that great.
Stoudemire's had his moments, and it's only fair to show the poor guy some modicum of patience — right, I mean, at least a little — as he works his way back into the mix, but he's still looked a step slow and unsure the bulk of the time. The hope is he keeps progressing, looking a little more explosive each time out, but more and more it is hard not to worry that this is a player headed for a steep, injury-aided decline and it's getting harder to remember that elite player that had us all so excited only a year and some change ago.

- Surfers know them as tubes, barrels, caves, pits, and even as 'The Green Room.' We see them as the dream wave, and yet only surfers know how it really feels to ride the tube. Most of them agree it's almost impossible to describe the feeling in words, but they talk about a magical moment when time seems to stop. Our image-makers have gone to great lengths to give us a glimpse of this exclusive world, and the result is a powerful visual ride into the TUBE!

This won't take long as Troy Donnay (2013 UFA) is one game away from having both his season and OHL career come to a sad ending. Donnay's Erie Otters dropped game 3 of their OHL Western Conference Finals to the Guelp Storm 7-1.
Yes this game was as ugly as the score as it really looks as if the Otters who for the most part surprised so many by the run they had during the 2013-2014 season are out of gas. Guelph just flat out outplayed overpowered and did what ever they wanted in this one. From jumping out to a 1-0 lead just 18 seconds into the game to dominating in area of the game.
Donnay was scoreless and like many of his teammates had no answer for the kind of storm that the Guelph Storm unleashed upon them. The Otters gave up 13 power plays to the Storm (which they cashed in 3) so now it is down to one game for Erie Tuesday night.

I had purchased a pair of womens hipster briefs, and liked them so much I wanted to buy more, but they were out of stock, so I bought the barely hipsters briefs instead, and they are wonderful, even better than the original hipster! They have the same cut, but are lighter weight, and seem to wick moisture a little better. I would highly recommend.

Comments about Patagonia Barely Hipster (Women's):
I absolutely love Patagonia underwear and have several pair. They seem to hold up well (I wear them exclusively), and are super light and comfortable. I insist on these, as I live in Florida where its constantly hot and muggy, and these not only seem to hold up well not making me all clammy down there but they also don't ride up or look bunchy under form fitting clothes. Highly recommend.

CrockPot Ropa Vieja Recipe
Day 334.
What should you do when you have a house full of food? Make more!
The turkey carcass has been soupified, and the yams, potatoes, and stuffing has been given away and frozen. The refrigerator looked weird and empty yesterday, but we had an overflowing produce drawer. I had an email saved from Melanie, who walked me through making Ropa Vieja---which is a fantastic way to use a frozen hunk-of-meat, and feed a lot of people.
The Ingredients.
--3 lbs meat (get what's on sale. Stew meat, chuck roast, steaks, whatever.)
--1/2 cup chicken broth
--1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (could use white)
--1 T cumin
--1 tsp smoked paprika
--1 tsp salt
--1/2 tsp black pepper
--1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
--1 large red onion, chopped
--2 red bell peppers, chopped
--2 med yellow apples, grated
--3 stalks celery, chopped
--3 cloves smashed and chopped garlic
--1/2 cup cilantro leaves
The Directions.
I used a 6.5 quart crockpot. I think you'll need at least a 5 quart----this is a lot of food.
Combine all of the dry spices in a bowl. Rub the spices all over the piece (or pieces) of meat you are using. Put the meat into your crockpot. Dump any extra spice on top.
Coarsely chop the vegetables and add to the pot. Smash the garlic, take the leaves off the cilantro stems, and add.
Peel the apples, and grate them into the pot with a cheese grater.
Add the chicken broth and vinegar.
Cover and cook on low for a very long time, or on high for a pretty long time. I'd go for at least 10 hour on low and at least 7 hours on high, checking about 2 hours before serving to see if you can shred the meat with forks. If you can't shred the meat, cook for longer, or remove the meat and cut in long slices, then return to the pot.
Ropa Vieja means "old clothes"---the meat and vegetables should be shreddy and fully intertwined. The longer and slower you cook this, the better. There is plenty of moisture from the chicken broth and vinegar---if you are a peeker, you may need to add more chicken broth; but otherwise, you'll get a good amount of juice at the bottom of the pot.
Serve over brown or white rice, with a ladle full of broth.
The Verdict.
Delicious. After a few days of sweet Thanksgiving food, we were ready for a different flavor.
The kids ate their meat separate from the vegetables, but did eat it. They also ate a ton of rice, because--well--that's just what they do.
I hadn't cooked the meat long enough when I took the above picture. I was tired, and just wanted to be done, and the kids were hungry. After we took some of the meat out, it cooked for another 3 hours on low, and then was perfect. The resulting stew was tangy and smoky at the same time---it was delicious. I ended up cooking on low for a total of 12 1/2 hours.
Thank you, Melanie!

While the recipe has a long list of possible meats to use, currious what you used when you made this batch. Different cuts of meat could produce different results/cooking times.

OOOOOH Ropa Vieja! I saw Guy Fieri on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives help a guy make this in some out of the way mom-n-pop-op on his show...sounds really cool! My husband would just call it stew lol.
The name Ropa Vieja, which my hispanic friends tell me, implies leftovers.

Since you have that listed as Mexican food that explains why the recipe doesn't sound like the ropa vieja that I grew up eating. Especially the apples which don't grow in Cuba as far as I know. I have a great recipe for Cuban Ropa Vieja on my cooking blog. http://theresacooks.blogspot.com/2008/01/old-clothes-and-new-years.html
I have cooked the meat in a crockpot before shredding it, since it takes 2 hours and it's easier in the crockpot.
Rabo Encendido is a great canidate for the crock pot though. http://theresacooks.blogspot.com/2008/04/rabo-encendido.html
and I have made Carne guisado con platanos in the crockpot too. http://theresacooks.blogspot.com/2008/01/carne-guisado-con-platanos.html

I am afraid to see what happens come Jan 1 - I haven't been disappointed in a recipe yet even though I've only recently found your blog.
Today I purchased a new 3 qt Hamilton Beach crockpot. When I opened the box, I discovered the lid had a permanent vent hole - and no way to close the vent. I am going to return it to the store and probably get the new 2/4/6 qt pot also by HB. Any thoughts on the vent?
- November 29, 2008 at 1:42 PM
Felicia, I have the 2/4/6 quart Hamilton Beach and it also has a permanent vent hole in the lid. My Rival 6.5 qt oval doesn't have one, but I haven't noticed any real difference in the way they cook. I don't think it's a big deal. They both work great.

Hi! You mentioned it was a good way to use frozen meat. Did you put the meat into the crockpot still frozen? Thanks.
- November 30, 2008 at 1:49 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
anon, yes, meat=beef.
anon, my meat was half-frozen. I've used frozen solid meat successfully in the crock numerous times.
It will take longer to cook and become shreddy.

I made this myself for the potluck, and it was extremely popular. In fact, it was gone before everyone had a chance to taste it ...
I let it cook overnight. My crock is 6 quarts, and the piece of meat I used was shy of 3 pounds (I think 2.7). The veggies stacked up almost to the top, but by morning they'd all broken down so that there were only 2 or 3 inches of food in the crock. Since I wouldn't have a chance to let it cook longer after I woke up, I cooked it on high for 3 hours, then set it to low for 7 hours overnight. The smell of it cooking was so strong and overwhelmingly yummy that it kind of kept me awake ... so that's a danger.
It smelled great, and it tasted great. Actually, oddly enough, the taste reminded me of my mom's goulash.
Again, thank you so much for this post -- the dish was popular, and I want to make it again soon so that my husband and I can have as much as we want =) Poor guy didn't even get a taste.

- MGF said...
Needed something for dinner that wasn't chicken again and used stuff I had in the house. I halved this because I had a small amount of meat, skillet steaks (?) and since they were thin pieces this cooked quickly. So I shredded it and tasted it and it was just ok. But I let it cook on low for another hour and that's when it became delicious. I did add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to give a little extra "hmmm." The family really liked it!
- March 17, 2009 at 6:07 PM
- Missy said...
I tried this today as my firs tforay into crockpot cooking. We added a can of chopped tomatoes about halfway through the cooking, but otherwise followed the recipe. Served it over cuban rice. It was amazing! Thanks!
- April 12, 2009 at 12:03 AM
Made this on Monday (the first of the cold weather came through). It was AMAZING!! My roast was large about 4.25lbs, but it got tender and the meat stayed juicy. I used the leftovers (shredded) and made enchiladas last night - so good! THANKS!!
- October 1, 2009 at 7:43 AM
I think I must have gotten the proportions wrong -- maybe too much vinegar? I tried this and while the beef tasted good, the vegetables were just too bitter/sour. Is that how it's supposed to taste? We added some salt after the fact, and that helped.
- February 10, 2010 at 7:41 AM
This was delicious-- it will become my new favorite company food! I love how 2 or 2 1/2 pounds of meat will easily serve 8-10 people. I've made ropa vieja in the past, but it was much more involved: first you had to slow cook the meat and then you sauteed the onion, peppers, etc. and added the shredded meat. The crock pot was WAY easier. I made a few adjustments based on the recipe I've used before because it comes directly from a Puerto Rican friend:
*I added a 14 oz can of chopped tomatoes w/ juice with the meat
*added an 8 oz can of tomato sauce with the meat
*added about 1/2 cup green olives w/ pimentos
*added 2-3 Tbsp of olive juice
*omitted broth
*omitted apples
*omitted cayenne because my kids are spice wimps; I passed Tabasco at the table for those interested
It turned out wonderfully! I served it in pita breads, and I still have some in the freezer for another mea l. I think it would also be good served with rice. A tangy coleslaw and/or corn are good side dishes.
Thanks for the idea to make this in the crock pot! I'll definitely be making it again!

Click this link for the latest NBC renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from December 31, 2012- February 10, 2013):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Do No Harm*
|Animal Practice*
|The New Normal
|1600 Penn
|Guys With Kids
|Go On
|30 Rock*
|final season complete
|Parks & Recreation
|Law & Order: SVU
|The Office
|final season
|Chicago Fire
|Up All Night
|Grimm (F)
Surprising most of our polled readers, a Dan Harmon-less Community returned to NBC's schedule with a 1.9 adults 18-49 rating last week. That's plenty good enough to be "certain to be renewed" on the ratings basket case that is NBC. Would a ratings decline cause that prediction to be adjusted downward? It could. Stay tuned.
The other end of the NBC ratings spectrum is both woeful and crowded. Ratings are so pitiful that only shows that have hit a 1.1 rating (1600 Penn, Deception) have been moved to "certain to be canceled". Those that have hit a 1.2 rating (Whitney, Smash, Guys With Kids) are just "likely to be canceled". And those that have held at a 1.3 (Go On) or above are still "toss ups". Even so, the complete collapse of NBC spring ratings means that some of those shows probably have brighter futures than I am predicting at this point. NBC's scripted show average the last three weeks has hovered around a 1.5. That means shows that average a 1.3 have a reasonably good chance of being renewed. Let that sink in for a second. Yikes.
My "don't update until the ratings arrive" posture has me holding Up All Night at "likely canceled", but the Applegate departure last week could certainly have the reasonable think its cancellation is certain.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.
From now through the end of the broadcast season in May, the Renew/Cancel Index values will only be calculated using new episodes airing during 2013. However, until new episodes of a show air in 2013, I will keep the "old" Fall predictions in the table.
Want to know what the NBC Renew/Cancel Index table looked like at the end of the Fall season? Click here.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2013
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ie. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.
