The Magazine
He Said What?
The quotable and the laughable.
Mar 23, 2009, Vol. 14, No. 26 • By EDWARD SHORT
The Oxford Dictionary
Little Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
Fans of truly funny writing, the sort that makes you laugh out loud, will naturally look askance at The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations.
After all, to quote Samuel Johnson, "Nothing is more hopeless than a scheme of merriment." Yet there are some genuinely funny things in this collection. There is this from Peter O'Toole, drawling in that Anglo-Irish lilt of his: "The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise." And this from Christopher Fry, who wrote all those forgotten verse plays in the 1940s: "After the age of 80, you seem to be having breakfast every five minutes." Or this from Voltaire, on being asked to renounce the devil on his deathbed: "This is no time for making new enemies." Or this from Saki: "People may say what they like about the decay of Christianity; the religious system that produced green Chartreuse can never really die." Or this, one of my own favorites, from Joan Collins: "I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife."
But most of the entries here incline to the humorous rather than the funny. For example, there is this from the late Queen Mum, after her daughter had accepted a second glass of wine at lunch: "Do you think it's wise, darling? You know you've got to rule this afternoon." Or this from Alan Bennett's play, The Madness of King George III: "The asylums of this country are full of the sound of mind disinherited by the out of pocket." Or this from John Kenneth Galbraith: "Meetings are a great trap. However, they are indispensable when you don't want to do anything"--surely an observation which anyone familiar with the insides of conference rooms can corroborate.
There are a number of arresting bon mots from novelists. Edgar Wallace, the crime novelist, gets his own back at those who might have regarded him as infra dig: "What is a highbrow? He is a man who has found something more interesting than women." The English novelist Rose Macaulay gives advice that too many Britons and Americans probably do not need: "You should always believe all you read in newspapers, as this makes them more interesting." The Anglo-Irish novelist Elizabeth Bowen reminds the Irish of their blessings: "Where would the Irish be without someone to be Irish at?"
The Irish are not the only people who could benefit from this resourceful book. Hard-pressed reviewers, especially those asked to review books with any learned content, will know intimately the truth of Winston Churchill's observation that "it is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations." Not especially inspired after-dinner speakers will be grateful for the book's scintillating epigrams, though Dan Quayle managed well enough without any help from quotations when he mused before the United Negro College Fund: "What a waste it is to lose one's mind, or not to have a mind. How true that is." (For those who may have forgotten, the motto of the fund is "A mind is a terrible thing to waste.") Students will also want to ransack this book. As Dorothy
JUDGE: I have read your case, Mr. Smith, and I am no wiser now than I was when I started.
SMITH: Possibly not, My Lord, but far better informed.
Moralists will find edifying swag throughout the dictionary, especially this from H.L. Mencken: "Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice." Poets worried whether their work has any relation whatever to the real world will be consoled to hear Philip Larkin admitting to Barbara Pym: "The notion of expressing sentiments in short lines having similar sounds at their ends seems as remote as mangoes on the moon." Those, however, worried about actually reaching an audience may want to skip over what the old New York Sun columnist Don Marquis had to say on the subject: "Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo."

Paul W. Hollingshead (1896–1974) studied at the New York Institute of Photography in 1922 and worked for Edward Steichen taking high fashion photos for Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines. In 1928, he returned to California and settled in Woodland in 1932. Upon his death he left an archive of photos to his sons Bill and Edward Hollingshead that document changes covering five decades. Experimenting with lighting, background, props, and poses, the photographs capture evolving styles in clothing and fashion as well as the sitter's preferences from dashing movie star glamour shots to warm, friendly family photos. Fashions and accessories from the UC Davis Design Collection will be paired with these period photographs bringing them to life with tangible artifacts.
This annual installation, timed to coincide with the university's Picnic Day, is a lively survey of undergraduate student talent and creativity that reflects themulti-disciplinary breadth of the Department of Design.
Working with renowned design faculty, Master of Fine Arts students explore the broader topic of "Design" through specific design disciplines, drawing oncollaborations with the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences. This exhibition showcases the candidates' final research and creative projects.

Miley Cyrus discusses meeting Kanye West, not so friendly neighbour Steve Carell and twerking at the VMAs in new Rolling Stone interview.
Picture: Miley Cyrus - iHeartRadio Music Festival at MGM Grand Garden Arena Las Vegas - Backstage - Las Vegas, NV, United States - Saturday 21st September...
Miley Cyrus new wild child persona was out in full on the front cover of the Rolling Stone magazine as she poses topless whilst sticking her tongue out.
The 20 year old, in her new Rolling Stone interview, discusses some men in her life right now with one of them being Kanye West? Miley spoke about Kanye watching her rehearse for the VMA's and visiting her in the dressing room- "He came in and goes, 'There are not a lot of artists I believe in more than you right now,'" she recalls. "The whole room went quiet. I was like, 'Yo - can you say that again?!'" She laughs. "I just kept repeating that over and over in my mind, and it made me not nervous."
Another man Miley spoke about is her neighbour, comedian Steve Carell, who doesn't appear to be a fan of the twerking star as she said "He always gives me the stank-eye because I drive so fast,".
She added, "the other day I was trying to reverse and I almost hit a thousand things, and I was getting nervous because I could see him going [crossing his arms and sighing]. I'm like, oh, my God, 'Dan in Real Life' is watching me right now!"
However, when it came to recently ex fiancé Liam Hemsworth, Miley only said "One thing about sky diving," she said, "you really know who you love, based on who you call [afterward]." It turns out that she did not call the Australian hunk.
Miley also defended the now infamous VMA performance, what received a widely negative reception which was followed by a harsh backlash felt mostly by the young pop-singer. Miley made the point of "No one is talking about the man behind the ass. It was a lot of 'Miley twerks on Robin Thicke,' but never, 'Robin Thicke grinds up on Miley.' They're only talking about the one that bent over. So obviously there's a double standard."
The twerking former Disney star admits to not caring what the public think and she know who she is, which is all that matters.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer's new album 'Bangerz' is set for release on October 4th 2013.

2004 Volvo C70 • 85,000 miles
Car won't idle unless your foot is on the gas, and then it revs and falls without changing pressure on the pedal. I cleaned the MAF and no change. Unplugged the MAF and car starts fine and idles fine. Replaced MAF, reset the computer and back to original problem. After the car has been running 5 to 10 minutes it will idle fine and drive fine. Just replaced the alternator, but this problem started the day before I replaced the alternator. (Already had that repair on the to do list.) Wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. A CEL came on initially, but does not seem to come back on since I reset the computer.
The car is a 2.3 liter turbo.

2. Re: what is package force compiledilipkumar10285 Dec 26, 2012 10:53 PM (in response to 981791)Hi,
First of all you can forcefully compile only view not package.
Package cannot compile forcefully but view can because view may refer to table which is yet not defined or not exists. So in this case you are creating view forcefully but its status will be INVALID.
But after defining the referred the table we can recompile the view again to make it in to VALID stat.
This feature is useful in parallel development environment where multiple developer can work on same table while table is still in developing phase (ie yet not created).
Hope this helps!

A production assistant performs many of the behind-the-scenes tasks essential in the creation and editing of content and footage. A production assistant handles the necessary administrative duties of the production process. First and foremost, they aid producers and directors in developing the nature of the content to be created. Next, they procure any personnel or equipment that would be necessary for production.Read More...
In many ongoing television productions, a production assistant is responsible for researching which guests to bring on the show, booking guests, and determining the direction that guest interactions would take. The production assistant also work with television guests to make sure they are adequately prepared for the production. Other administrative duties include printing out and distributing scripts, recording network notes, checking production schedules, and fact checking. The production assistant also ensures that content is adequately delivered to editing professionals. After the production is complete, the production assistant adds the work to the studio's production library and vault. Additionally, the production assistant is responsible for maintaining and organizing the production libraries and vaults.
Many production assistants hold a bachelor's degree and several years of experience in production. Due to the attention to detail that is necessary in this position, many production assistants have excellent editing skills, as well as strong interpersonal skills to effectively work with both producers and guests.

For Production Assistants, progressing to a Technical Director role may result in a significant raise. On average, a Technical Director can earn $92K annually. TV & Cable Broadcast Producer-Directors or Video Editors are common next-step roles for Production Assistants moving up in their careers; annual pay for TV & Cable Broadcast Producer-Directors is $14K higher on average, and it's $9K higher for Video Editors.
Production Assistants report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Project Management, and Production Support are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 8 percent and 15 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Office Administration and Inventory Management. Most people skilled in Microsoft Excel are similarly competent in Organizing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Salaries for inexperienced workers average out to $34K, and those with five to 10 years' experience earn a higher median of $32K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $34K in this role. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Production Assistant with more than 20 years of experience can earn $41K on average.
Stamford offers some of the highest pay in the country for Production Assistants, 37 percent above the national average. Production Assistants can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Francisco (+22 percent), San Diego (+12 percent), New York (+10 percent), and Washington (+10 percent). Trailing the national average by 11 percent, Houston is the market with the smallest paychecks. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include St. Louis (11 percent lower) and Austin (8 percent lower).

Flying the Sudanese Skies
January 30, 2008
Today we took three flights to reach our field office in Agok. At the Wau airport we ran into Bente, Mercy Corps' capacity-building specialist. She was on her way from Malual Kon to Wunrock. Only 100 kilometers separate the two towns, but there's no road between them. So the trip requires three flights and a two-day layover in Rumbek because of the limited schedule. "Welcome to Sudan," she said with a laugh.
Air travel is the necessary mode of transportation for aid workers in Sudan, especially in the south. Most flights are operated by the UN World Food Program's Humanitarian Air Service, whose 30-unit fleet ranges from helicopters to 39-seat jets to prop planes with unpressurized cabins.
The best part of riding in small aircraft is that the cockpit door usually stays open through the flight. This affords a view of the instrument panel and out the front window, plus you can watch the pilots' every move. You can also overhear what the pilots say during their preflight routine, which isn't all business. Our last flight of the day featured this exchange:
"You take the first leg, and I'll take the way back?"
"I said 'book'."
Pause. "What does that mean?"
"Do you have your mobile with you?"
"In predictive texting, if you write 'cool,' it comes out as 'book.'"
Start the propellers.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of XacBank's startup loan program targeting loans to clients who are classified as very poor on the Progress out of Poverty Index (PPI). This program provides special training to startup loan recipients, and offers them an annual interest rate that is 2.4% to 3.6% lower than for standard loans. By funding this loan, you are supporting a program that helps borrowers get their businesses off the ground.
About XacBankThis loan is being administered through XacBank, a Mongolian for-profit microfinance institution. XacBank is located in every province of Mongolia, reaching some of the most rural micro business clients. With this Kiva loan, there is an opportunity for the entrepreneur to get a savings account including 9% of the interest if they pay back the loan on time. This is a special savings account that XacBank has specifically prepared for the Kiva loan borrowers to promote savings habits.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Horn: Greatness of legend Pat Summercall comes through in the words of others
The Dallas Morning News published a 1,744-word obit on the life and times of Pat Summerall the other day, coupled with a 587-word sidebar. That's a lot of words about someone who believed in brevity and practiced what he preached in front of a nation.
Still there is more.
There are six speakers scheduled for Saturday's 11 a.m. funeral service at Plano's Prestonwood Baptist Church, which is open to the public. In addition to Pastor Jack Graham, John Madden, Summerall's two sons and a granddaughter, Lance Barrow will speak.
Barrow was a junior at Abilene Christian University in 1976 when he talked his way into a spotter's job for CBS' coverage of the Colonial golf tournament.
Chuck Will, the director, assigned Barrow to help Summerall in the 18th tower. Will told Barrow he would never meet "a finer man" in broadcasting.
"And to this day, I never have," said Barrow, a Colleyville resident who now is CBS' lead producer for NFL and golf.
"He was kind to everyone. When you were around him, you never knew that he was the number one broadcaster. He taught me so much, not only about this business, but how to treat people."
Jason Winik
One of my favorite Summerall stories involved Jason Winik, a Dallas kid who landed a free-lance job in Fox's graphics trailer back in 1994, the year the network got into the NFL broadcasting business.
Understand that relative to the broadcast booth, the graphics trailer might as well be in Siberia.
After the first game of the regular season, Summerall already knew Jason's name. On the eve of the second game, Summerall learned that frugal Winik didn't have a hotel room on the eve of a San Francisco 49ers-Kansas City Chiefs game and was prepared to sleep in his car.
Summerall marched to the front desk of the hotel where the Fox crew was staying, got Winik a room and paid for it.
It was, Winik said the other day, Summerall "being a nice guy when he had better things to do."
Bill Macatee
One of my favorite tributes to Summerall came from CBS' Bill Macatee, who also happens to live in Dallas.
"Early in my career, I had the privilege to sit beside him and just watch as he worked with Ken Venturi on those Thursday-Friday golf telecasts for USA Network," Macatee said.
"He could capture big moments in just a few words but was still humble enough to stay out of the way and not overwhelm the telecast by drawing attention to himself.
"I was lucky enough to take over calling [tennis'] U.S. Open for CBS last year. Not a match goes by now when I don't think of how Pat would handle things and, even though I could never come close to his mastery, try to emulate his grace and brilliant economy of words."
Brad Sham
Cowboys radio play-by-play voice Brad Sham said the most excited he ever saw Summerall was in a conversation the two had about their planned trips to Israel.
"Three years ago, when I told him I was going to visit Israel, he said, 'I am also going to the Holy Land.' He just lit up throughout the discussion. When he came back, we compared notes. It was a side of him I had never seen."
Vin Scully
A couple of years ago, I asked Vin Scully about losing out to Summerall for the No. 1 play-by-play seat in CBS' NFL booth in 1981. CBS already had decided Madden would be the analyst.
"I think the judgment was I talked as much as John," said Scully, who like Summerall had a four-game tryout alongside Madden. "The broadcast would be too heavy. There would be too much verbiage. I think they were right."

I get to test-drive the new Viking Sapphire 930 tomorrow! I have researched on here about what things to ask about and how to get a better deal. They seem to be $1699 across the board. Should I take anything with me? I thought I read somewhere that some take fabric with them?
I posted a few months ago that I was really wanting the Sapphire 875Q...this essentially replaced it and I'm excited to finally see for myself what a Viking feels like.
Thank you in advance for your help!
------Every day is a clean slate.
"Decisions are made by those who show up"...Allison Janney, The West Wing
I have never taken anything with me, but it might be a good idea to take a scrap of knits and women's in a few different weights. The dealer will have some fabric too, although maybe not a variety.
formerly mikkim
Bring the type of fabrics you like to sew. If you hem jeans, bring some denim. If you like to piece bring some squares. If you want to free motion, bring a quilt sandwich. I sew alot of knits, so I always bring knit scraps.
------My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.
It's a good idea to take samples of fabric that you plan to use, especially if you work with heavy or delicate or unusual fabrics. The dealer will probably have only simple woven cotton and it may be stabilized or starched to show stitches at their best. You will want to try the stitches and features that you will actually use. The last time I tested a machine, I took some quilting cotton to sew togehther, cut some appliques to stitch down with blanket stitch, and made a sandwich with batting which I then quilted. Essentially I made a quilted potholder to test a bunch of features in a real project. Try to have fun, too! Good luck!
------All things are difficult until they are easy.
--Fortune Cookie
Thank you for the advice...I'm still relatively new to quilting and I just do alternating color blocks. What is the pattern called that's in your username picture?
And I'll take some different scraps with me, thanks.
See if you can test the machine with the extra table that you can buy to go with it. I don't have that, but I can see how that might come in handy if I were sewing larger pieces. I am curious to see how much that costs.
You might check out the quilting feet that come with the machine or that are available to see if they would fit your quilting needs.
The pattern is actually a Bear Paw in a Bear Paw. I photographed only 1/4 of the whole. The white section shows an entire Bear Paw, but the red in the picture only shows one "paw" of the big Bear Paw. I like it too! But it was so tedious to make I only made one!
-- Edited on 1/16/14 2:30 PM -- Edited to correct "Bear Claw" (a pastry) to "Bear Paw" (a quilt block)! -- Edited on 1/16/14 3:24 PM --
Did you end up buying the Sapphire 930? If so, how happy have you been during these past 5 months with it? Any tension issues? Are the zigzag and decorative stitches neat and pretty? Do you use lettering? I was considering the purchase of the machine on sale at the local dealer but read nightmarish reviews about specific tension issues and poor stitch quality. The worst seems to be the extreme difficulty to get things fixed when something goes wrong with a Husqvarna machine - while maybe not specifically this model.
Anybody else is happy with their Sapphire 930?
Thank you in advance, I would greatly welcome your feed back. -- Edited on 6/10/14 12:29 PM --
I got the 930 about a month ago. So far I'm very happy with it and have had no problems that weren't user error. I've done everything but quilt with it. I am waiting to post a review until I actually make a quilt (not just piece the top) and own it for longer.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Good for you! How did I miss that in the other topics?! What a lovely machine you have. :)

A Adobe Flex issue...
I'm attaching a microphone to a NetStream, but there is no mic activity. The privacy is set to Allow, the microphone.muted is false and the activity level is -1.
Only when I open the flash settings, and open the Microphone tab, it starts to dispatch the Activity events, and it starts to stream the audio.
Also, when I start to loopBack it starts working. But I don't want loopBack.
Did you have the same problem? I hope I was clear.

Eavesdrop> Study shows Angelenos hard up for rent
Monday, January 12, 2015
The Editors.
Forget about San Francisco being the hardest place to rent in California. According to a story in the New York Times (citing zillow.com), Angelenos spend 47 percent of their income on the median rent. That's the highest in the country, and significantly higher than San Francisco, which ranks sixth on the list at 40.7 percent. And the problem appears ready to get worse as new supply struggles to keep up with demand in the overcrowded city. Maybe we'll all have to move to Bakersfield.
Los Angeles and San Francisco make bids to host the 2024 Olympic Games

Sam Lubell.
After hosting the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984, Los Angeles is in the hunt to be the Unites States' candidate to host them again in 2024. Earlier this week the city made a presentation to the U.S. Olympic Committee, followed by pitches from Boston, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
New Buildings Institute catalogues the nation's net-zero buildings

Chris Bentley.

San Francisco's Candlestick Park to be replaced by an outlet mall and housing
Thursday, November 20, 2014
Sam Lubell.
San Francisco's city center isn't the only place undergoing unprecedented changes. While the 49ers play out their season in the much warmer (and tech-nerd-friendly) new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, their former home, Candlestick Park, is about to be replaced by an outlet center and residential community.
Pictorial> Illuminate SF setting San Francisco aglow
Thursday, November 20, 2014
Sam Lubell.
For the second year, San Francisco Travel (the city's marketing organization) is organizing Illuminate SF, a two-month series of light art installations around the metropolis. This year's version, taking place now through the end of the year, features 16 glowing pieces—11 of them permanent—including works by James Turrell, Ned Kahn,Vito Acconci, and James Carpenter. Many are integrated into San Francisco buildings, such as Morphosis' San Francisco Federal Building, KMD's SF Public Utilities Commission, the grain elevator at Pier 92, and various terminals at SFO. Cities like Cleveland and New York have held similar festivals in recent years.
Eavesdrop> Lifting The Veil On So Many Secrets
Friday, November 14, 2014
The Editors.
It's such a shame that we live in areas so full of secrecy. Why won't Hollywood stars in Los Angeles or tech moguls in San Francisco let architects spread the word about their million dollar houses? Sure we hear dribs and drabs. For instance that Sergei Brin and a major executive at Yahoo! have both commissioned San Francisco architect Olle Lundberg to design their new abodes. But these tidbits are far too infrequent. So we at Eavesdrop are making a plea for you to share gossip on who is designing for the most famous people you can think of. We promise, we won't divulge our sources. And we won't partner with Us Weekly. Probably.
San Francisco's huge 5M Development releases Environmental Impact Report
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Sam Lubell.
Forest City has announced that it is moving forward with a plan to build a residential and office complex on four acres around the San Francisco Chronicle building, a 1924 structure located on the corner of 5th and Mission streets in the South of Market (Soma) neighborhood. The developer published the Environmental Impact Report (PDF) for the plan, known as "5M," last Wednesday and presented it at a public hearing of the city's Planning Commission this week. The design team for the project includes architect Kohn Pederson Fox, urban designer SiteLab, and historic resources consultant Architectural Resources Group. Read More
San Francisco legislator proposes solar panels and green roofs for all new buildings
Thursday, October 23, 2014
Sam Lubell.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, David Chiu, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, is proposing legislation to mandate that all new buildings in the city contain solar panels, rooftop gardens, or both. The resolution, called Solar Vision 2020, would form a permanent program (extending the work of the pilot GoSolarSF) to help building owners pay to install solar arrays, set a goal of doubling the city's solar energy production, and install 2 megawatts–worth of panels on residences citywide each year.

Eavesdrop> West Coast Odds and Ends
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
The Editors.
In one of the few towns where the AIA has serious pull, the AIA San Francisco has named Jennifer Jones as its new Executive Director. Longtime HMC principal Kate Diamond has left her position and is looking for a new job. While it pales in comparison to the news that AECOM has merged with URS, forming the biggest firm in the galaxy, WSP has bought "global design giant" Parsons Brinckerhoff for $1.35 billion. That's no joke either. Finally, after more than six years of waiting, SOM has begun work on its massive redevelopment of the WWII-era housing development, Park Merced. In San Francisco that's like waiting for fifteen minutes.
Remembering Doug Wright, the man who helped tear down highways in San Francisco and Portland
Tuesday, August 12, 2014
Ariel Rosenstock.
San Francisco's deputy mayor for transportation—who played an integral role in getting the city to tear down the Embarcadero Freeway after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake—passed away on July 30th. He was 68. After the earthquake struck the city, Wright convinced former San Francisco mayor, Art Agnos, to help lead the effort to remove the highway and replace it—not with another highway, but instead with a boulevard at street level.

I am having issues with using the session component in cakephp. They worked fine throughout the site, when on a dev site on a different server.
After uploading the final version on the new server, it seems that the session will not start in certain controllers. Only on two controllers is this happening, but nothing seems to be done differently on these controllers - except possibly the fact that only these two controllers are using a custom file uploader component. Have tried disabling this and nothing changed.
The website is an ecommerce system, with the problems mainly occuring when trying to add an item to the basket, which is stored in a session. this session is remaining blank, whereas on the dev site worked a charm.
I am also using the auth component to login/logout, and although these 2 areas are not required to be logged in to function, they cause it to switch to logged out whenever they are loaded - and this then switches back by itself when any other areas of the site are accessed. The auth and session components are loaded in the appcontroller.

I've been seeing Dr. Lam for years. He's thoughtful and thorough.
On a number of occasions I've needed to see Dr. Lam right away and the staff always made every effort to get me in ASAP. What I really like about Dr. Lam is that he LISTENS. He will answer my questions no matter how much time it takes and goes way out of his way to try to nail down the problem. I was very impressed when he called me from his home after hours on a Friday to give me the results of my tests and to discuss how to proceed. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Lam as my PCP.
Seems knowledgeable; spends adequate time and never seems in a hurry; on time; nice, casual and calming manner; seems to prefer more common sense, natural methods of treatment if possible (exercise, weight loss, eating habits,take specific vitamins/supplements), before treating typical issues with medications. Works calmly with my basic fear of all things medical,but knows when to push me if testing or other treatment is needed.
My initial visit to Dr. Lam's office was very pleasant however the follow up has been unacceptable.Dr. Lam stated I would be enrolled into their online services which never occurred.I used to be Kaiser member and filled out the paperwork in July to have my medical records transferred. As of last week, I find out that it never happened because they didn't have a Kaiser number listed on my request. I never was notified my records weren't transferred.This past week, I've tried to order subscriptions and it's been very difficult accomplishing this task. One assistant said they could mail me the subscription on Monday. I called today to found out if it's been mailed and then they said the doctor hasn't even filled out the prescription and it can't even be mailed and that I must pick it up. I should of been told on Friday. I've also requested a phone call from Dr. Lam on multiple occasions and he has yet to call me. I don't feel like a person and a patient. I feel like a number and they could care less.
We love Dr. Lam....but the front office staff could use re-training. They tell you they are going to "flag down the doctor to get a signaure and get right back to you"...but they don't necessarily mean that day! Of if they do, they quite often fail you. I know the doctor is busy, but if you tell a patient you will get right back to them, I think they should call if they are going to take longer than anticipated. Part of the reason I changed from our former doctor to Dr. Lam is because of the lack of communication between the front office and their doctor. I hope I don't have to do this again.
On a Friday I needed a prescription refill so I called in to my doctor Dr Lamm and requested with the woman who answered the phone that dr Lamm call in my refill, she said no problem he just had to sign off and it would be called in this was at 9:00 AM. Then at 1:45 I called my pharmacy and they hadn't heard anything so I called back into the doctors office and reminded them it was URGENT, the woman who answered the phone said as soon a he was done with a patient she would have him sign off and fax in my refill. At 5:00PM I called the pharmacy again they hadn't heard a thing so I called back into the doctors office but they were now closed, so I called the urgent care upstairs from Dr Lamms office and the woman I reached said my prescription was in the system but Dr Lamm never signed off on it so by law no one could touch it and I was jut screwed until Monday!! I called at 9:00 AM and all day got jerked around while no one would take the time to get one signature. I recommend NEVER going to this office!
I have been seeing Dr. Lam since he first opened his office in Walnut Creek. He has seen me through various insurance plans (HMO & PPO) and has always provided amazing medical care for me and my partner. Dr. Lam is friendly, with an excellent bedside manner. Often the front office has failed to assist or provide adequate attention, but Dr. Lam has truly been the best physician I have ever had.
I have nothing but praise for Dr. Lam. He's thorough, patient, listens well, understanding, knowledgeable - everything I want in a doctor. I feel very blessed to have him as my physician.
Even if I have an HMO, he is still a great doctor to help you with medical needs.

What kind of background, education and/or training does your childs aide have? If any?
My friend was just offered a job working as a 1/1 aide for a non verbal boy with Autism. She has NO experience working with special needs kids at ALL. She has been a part time para (teachers assistant) in a regular Kinder classroom for the past year and that is the extent of her experience working with kids in an educational environment, though she is a mom of 2 herself.
Honestly, I was kind of shocked to hear that her school district offered her this job. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that aides assigned to special needs kids would have SOME kind of experience, education, background something - working with this population.
Can it really be true that school districts can just hire some Joe of the street, background not withstanding, and assign them as 1/1's to our kids?
Somebody school me.

Morgan's Foods Inc. Key Developments
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 30, 2014, by and among Apex Restaurant Management Inc., Apex Brands Foods Inc., and Morgan's Foods Inc., on May 27, 2014, Merger Sub was merged with and into the company, with the company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex. In accordance with the Merger Agreement and in connection with the Merger, Marilyn A. Eisele, Jefferson P. Gramm, Steven S. Kaufman, Bernard Lerner, James J. Liguori, James C. Pappas and Jacob J. Saour ceased to serve as directors of the company as of the effective time.
Levi & Korsinsky notified investors of Morgan's Foods Inc. of claims of breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law against the board of directors of the company in connection with the sale of the company to Apex Restaurant Management Inc. A complaint was filed in Ohio state court. Under the terms of the transaction, Morgan's Foods shareholders will receive $5.00 in cash for each share of Morgan's Foods stock they own. The claims concern whether the Morgan's Foods Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Apex Restaurant Management Inc. is underpaying for Morgan's Foods shares.
On April 15, 2014, an alleged shareholder filed a derivative action and a purported class action complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, relating to the recently announced agreement and plan of merger, dated as of March 30, 2014, by and among Morgan's Foods, Inc., Apex Restaurant Management, Inc. (Apex) and Apex Brands Foods, Inc. (Sub), pursuant to which Morgan's Foods will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Apex. The complaint names Morgan's Foods, the members of the board of directors of Morgan's Foods, Apex, and Sub as defendants, and generally alleges that, in connection with approving the merger, the directors breached their fiduciary duties owed to Morgan's Foods and its shareholders, and that Apex and Sub aided and abetted the directors' alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. It also alleges Morgan's Foods preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on April 4, 2014, omits and misrepresents material information necessary to shareholders in order for them to be able to make a fully informed vote to adopt the Merger. The complaint seeks, among other things, certification of the case as a class action, an injunction against the consummation of the transaction, rescission or rescissory damages if the merger is consummated, a judgment against the defendants for damages, and an award of fees, expenses and costs to plaintiffs and their attorneys. Morgan's Foods and the directors believe the allegations of the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the allegations contained in it.

Northern people, John Lennon was once quoted as saying, are blunt. He meant Northern people in England but could have just as easily meant those from New England as well. At least I hope so as we have folks with all the fingertip sensibility of turnips.
The heartbreak and catastrophe of Newtown, and no I'm not about to launch into a a skit on the Second Amendment or gun safety but this is interesting and worth a discussion in the near future, but I could with little provocation, still fresh in so many people's minds, though not very many in the Senate of the United States, what should you think when you see this headline "Connecticut School Board Members To Open Gun Store?"
I would never say Tom Sirard, a person whom I have not met (nor likely shall), is a�cloth-eared lout�but, hand on my heart, how does the explanation 'the timing appears awakward' sound to you?
I'm leaning towards the word unfortunate but that's because I'm hoping�to get that "Soul of Helpfulness" Merit Badge real soon. Point in fact, the irony is so rich in some of this, you'll be tempted to eat it with a fork but please use a spoon, because you'll want to get every drop.

Colin Farrell Reveals Elizabeth Taylor Relationship
By ETonline
Colin Farrell recently appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote his film "Saving Mr. Banks," where he revealed that he actually shared a surprising relationship with the late Elizabeth Taylor.
Explaining that he met Taylor's manager Tim Mendelson in the hospital when his youngest son Henry was being born, and she was there to get a stint in her heart, the two later sent flowers to each other which led to a face-to-face meeting.
Pics: Remembering Dame Elizabeth Taylor
"I got to have an audience with her, and that was the beginning of a year-and-a-half or two years of what was a really cool -- which feels like in my head ... the last kind of romantic relationship I've had, which was never consummated," he told DeGeneres.
He also revealed that the two bonded over their shared insomnia.
"She wasn't much of a sleeper at night, like I'm not, so I'd call her at two o'clock in the morning ... and we'd talk for like, half an hour or an hour into the wee hours," he shared. "It was really cool. I just adored her. She was just a spectacular, spectacular woman."
He even joked that he wanted to be the late icon's eighth husband!
"I wanted to be number eight, but we ran out of road," he smiled.

TP: Rough Beasts of Empire by DRGIII Review Thread (Spoilers!)
View Single Post
February 28 2011, 04:47 PM
Re: Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts Of Empire review thread
I profoundly doubt that Section 31 is anywhere near as powerful or widespread as it likes to think it is. Contrary to the absurd fantasies of fiction, the bigger a conspiracy is, the more inevitable its exposure becomes, because there are more opportunities for things to go wrong, more lines of communication to be intercepted, more people who could have second thoughts or be co-opted, etc. The idea of a vast, all-powerful, pervasive conspiracy that nobody knows about is a contradiction in terms. The only way Section 31 could've lasted as long as it has and stayed as well-hidden as it has is by being small and limiting its activities.
So the tendency of some fans to assume that S31 has its talons in every single intelligence operation or ethically questionable action in Federation history is one that should be resisted. The problem with conspiracy theories is that they're based on the
of evidence for a conspiracy. When you're imagining an unknown menace, your imagination tends to run away and picture it as something huge and supernatural and unbeatable. Usually, if there's any real threat underlying the conspiracy theory at all, then the facts would show it's much less powerful, competent, and expansive and far more vulnerable.

Wabeno chief keeps streets safe
Submitted: 07/05/2013
Story By Shardaa Gray
Photos By Shardaa Gray
- Tighter budgets challenge families, schools; even police departments.
Wabeno has taken a unique approach to that issue.
Its police department has only one full-time employee: Chief Mick Ashbeck.
"I always had a desire and passion to be law enforcement when I was younger," said Ashbeck.
"I graduated from Wabeno high school here in 1985. Not quite sure yet what I wanted to do at that time."
Instead of following his dream, Mick Ashbeck did what many young men do: he followed the money.
"I was able to get a part-time job in the welding field and I pretty much stuck with it for about 22 years," Ashbeck said.
"And made very good money in the welding field."
But that wasn't his true passion.
So four years ago, Ashbeck went after his childhood dream.
He became Wabeno's police chief in 2009 and Townsend in 2010.
"I started out part time for Forest County Sheriff's Department and part time here in Wabeno, about the same time, early 2008." Ashbeck said.
As a kid, Ashbeck probably pictured himself as just one member of a big force.
But here in Wabeno, he's the only full-time employee.
"It might be a one man department here, but this is not a one man show out here," said Ashbeck.
"It's the collaborative effort of all our officers out here that make this happen."
To Ashbeck and his team, that means keeping the streets of Wabeno drug-free.
That's tough with a small force, so four years ago, they brought on Dutch.
"It only took about four months to raise over $10,000. And that gave us enough money at that time to go out and purchase a K-9." Ashbeck said.
That kind of extra effort recently earned Ashbeck an award.
He was recognized in the Heritage Who's Who Book. Still, Ashbeck credits his team.
"It's a collaborative effort from everybody. Was I there in the mixed of things, yes ok, but it was a collaborative effort from everybody." said Ashbeck.

Fugitive convicted sex offender arrested in Appleton
Submitted: 11/28/2015
- The U.S. Marshals Service says a convicted sex offender who was wanted for violating the terms of his release has been arrested in Appleton.
The agency says 63-year-old L.C. Streeter, of Milwaukee, was previously convicted of four separate sexual assaults from 1976 to 1985. Wisconsin committed him as a sexually violent person in 1996, and he remained in treatment until his release in 2013 under intensive supervision.
The service said in a statement that he cut off his GPS and electronic monitoring bracelets and fled supervision on Monday, resulting in a warrant for his arrest. Federal marshals and Appleton police arrested him without incident in Appleton on Friday.
Kevin Carr, the U.S. marshal for eastern Wisconsin, says Streeter was "an absolute danger to the community based upon his past convictions."

Wisconsin school nixes reading of book about transgender kid
Submitted: 11/28/2015
- A southern Wisconsin school district has cancelled plans for elementary school students to read a children's book about a transgender girl after a group threatened to sue.
The Capital Times reports (http://bit.ly/1TadnaG ) that the Mount Horeb Area School District released a statement saying it won't proceed with its planned reading of "I Am Jazz."
Parents were told last week that Mount Horeb Primary Center students would read the book because one student identifies as a girl but was born with male anatomy.
A Florida-based group, the Liberty Counsel, threatened to sue, saying concerned parents had reached out and that reading the book would violate parental rights.
The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the Liberty Counsel as a hate group that advocates for "anti-LGBT discrimination, under the guise of religious liberty."

Wisconsin deadliest deer season in past 5 years nears end
Submitted: 11/28/2015
- This has been Wisconsin's deadliest gun-deer season in the past five years, with two shooting fatalities already recorded.
Daily Herald Media reports (http://wdhne.ws/1HvNth3 ) that the two fatalities brought to an end a three-year series of seasons that had been free of firearm deaths. Four other hunters also have been wounded.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, hunters violated some of the fundamental rules of gun safety in all the incidents.
A man was killed last Sunday in Columbia County when he was shot while passing a loaded rifle to a companion in a tree stand. Wearing mittens, she grabbed the gun near the trigger and it went off. On Monday, a hunter in Waushara County was killed by a stray bullet.
The nine-day season runs through Sunday.

Tomah VA Medical Center launches 100-day improvement plan
Submitted: 11/28/2015
- The Tomah Veterans Affairs Medical Center says it has adopted another plan to improve patient care.
The La Crosse Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1QMsDMZ) that Friday's release of the "100-day plan" comes almost 11 months after media reports that veterans at the center were prescribed excessive doses of opioid pain-killers and that employees who spoke out faced retaliation from top officials.
The plan, which follows a 30-day plan announced in May, outlines steps for improving access to care, employee engagement and restoring trust.
Among other things, it calls for recruitment of psychiatric staff, employee forums and listening sessions, and opening an employee wellness center.
Several Tomah VA officials � including former Director Mario Desanctis and former Chief of Staff David Houlihan � have been fired since the problems emerged early this year.

Authorities investigate death of person in Decorah Lake

Kyle Lynch, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden for Juneau County, says he was called to the scene to assist in a boat search about 1:30 a.m. He also says the Mauston Fire Department recovered the body, which was found in the water.
The Mauston Police Department says attempts were made to rescue the individual, but the Juneau County Coroner's Office pronounced the individual dead at the scene. Police have provided few other details, and the victim's name has not been released.
Mauston is about 70 miles northwest of Madison.

We're still skittish on spending
Florida consumers' confidence has ticked up, but unemployment went up and home prices went down in August.
Published: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 11:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 28, 2010 at 11:05 p.m.
U.S. consumer confidence in September fell to the lowest point since February on increasing job concerns, while Florida confidence, though still low, eased up with the sealing of the BP oil well, according to separate surveys released Tuesday.
The surveys measure consumers' mood toward spending, an important economic indicator, with consumer spending accounting for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity.
A University of Florida study showed statewide confidence up two points to 68, the highest since May, a month after the BP oil spill started.
The level is still four points lower than in September 2009.
"This is by no means a return to a state of optimism," said Chris McCarty, director of UF's Survey Research Center in the Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
Florida unemployment edged up again in August while home prices declined, McCarty said.
On the plus side for jobs, companies have accumulated cash and are waiting for indications about where to invest it for growth.
A double-dip recession is increasingly less likely, but with a number of drags on the economy, "we should expect confidence to oscillate between the upper 60s and lower 70s at least through the end of the year," McCarty said.
U.S. confidence levels fell to 48.5 from a revised 53.2 in August, according to the Conference Board.
The Florida index is benchmarked to a 1966 level of 100 and the U.S. index to a 1985 level of 100, and do not reflect comparable levels of confidence.
U.S. levels had been recovering fitfully since a record low of 25.3 in February 2009, but are as pessimistic as they were a year ago, The Associated Press reported.
