Aimee Richardson is an actress who portrays Myrcella Baratheon in Game of Thrones. She is from Bangor, Northern Ireland.
In the pilot episode, Myrcella was a non-speaking role played by Aimee Richardson. She was not originally intended to be cast as Myrcella: no casting decision had been made yet, and she was simply a stand-in for the auditions involving other cast members, such as Cersei and Jaime. However, the TV series creators discovered that they enjoyed Richardson's strong acting ability for her age, so they decided to officially cast her as Myrcella. She initially appeared as a guest star in the first season and returned in this role for the second season.
Richardson won't be appearing in Season 3 because Myrcella has been sent to Dorne, and thus had no scenes in the third book.[1] As Richardson put it in a twitter post just after Season 3 began airing, she's "too busy getting a tan in Dorne to appear in S3."[2]

Not one of the more common video formats, but projection screens built to this aspect ratio can be a good choice for film enthusiasts who want to roughly split the difference between High Definition TV and the widest screen for projection formats.
Our Classic Cinema White screen material provides an exceptionally wide angle of view, helping to maintain a consistent image from different seating areas. It has a gain of 1.0, and is most suitable for dedicated theaters with good ambient light control.
Our Brilliant White screen material has a gain of 1.4 for that extra bit of punch, with a minimal decrease in viewing angle. It is also a thicker, more opaque gauge of vinyl than our Classic Cinema White. With its higher gain, it is a good option for dimmer projectors, or in environments with some ambient light such as boardrooms or churches.
Our High Contrast Grey screen material has a gain of 0.8, and can improve your image's contrast by lowering the black levels. This material is a good option for digital projectors with less than spectacular contrast ratios.

Will this accessory madness ever come to an end?
You can now carry half a dozen pretty much useless gimick-lenses along with the smartphone. Some with rather proprietary (ie. Cases) mounts, others with glue on, magnets, etc..
Neither so far produces really good image results. and the effects of this one are "slightly" over the top and can be done by software processing at least to some degree.
Now I'm NOT against smartphone, smartphone photography / mobile photography, not at all.... but people usually end up buying those gimicks, using them 10 times and thats it.
if you start to carry that stuff, you can start to carry a more advanced camera just as well and get quality results without kitsch-effects.

Why didn't they get relegated then ? Nowhere to go ?
Hardly proves your point. They were just a team literally "out of their league".
Well you can't get a much smaller league then 4 teams. The point I was refuting was that reducing the size of SL to 10 teams would result in the teams being more equal in ability because it was a smaller league. This just dosn't follow the one from the other.

Companies Beginning to Embrace Transparency on Climate Change Policies
Last month there was a question as to whether or not Ford lobbied Congress on the Keystone XL Pipeline. However, publically the automakers' sustainability marketing promises to help achieve "climate stabilization". In the US, companies have to disclose the subject of their lobbying, but do not have to disclose the position for which they are lobbying. This incomplete reporting raises consumer and investor concerns. Smart businesses are beginning to embrace transparency on climate change policies.
Take Ikea Group, for example. The company recently released this infographic to transparently share their position on climate change. In it, IKEA explained why climate change is relevant to its business interests. And they not only made it clear where they stand on the issue and which policy actions they support, they also communicated the message directly to European policymakers. IKEA is lobbying for ambitious, legally-binding 2030 targets for carbon dioxide emissions, renewable power and energy efficiency.
Not all companies take a black or white stance on global warming. Some are merely silent on the issue. There are a multitude of reasons including fear of publically taking a position on a political topic that might push away customers. Some businesses are grappling internally with climate change's risks and opportunities, putting out consistent messaging, and trying to find the capacity to publically engage on the issue. Whatever the reason, it is certainly delaying much needed political breakthroughs on climate change.
Although businesses fall different places on the continuum of how to publically address climate change, there are resources available to help them engage responsibly with the issue. Take this guide that is a baseline for action and transparent reporting from the World Resources Institute, which was informed by the United Nations and business leaders, policymakers, and investors.
With the release of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, companies can expect more scrutiny from customers, shareholders and stakeholders regarding their position on global warming. Businesses can make a positive impact on the issue and the time to start acting is now.
Interview with Mr. Hans Wegner, Chief Sustainability Officer at the National Geographic Society
Carbonfund.org and National Geographic Society (NGS) have been partners in the fight against global climate change since 2009. Our relationship with NGS is managed by Mr. Hans Wegner, Chief Sustainability Officer at the Society whose leadership in the sustainability realm has been an inspiration to everyone at our Foundation.
In 2011, Han's leadership with the NGS "Green Team" led to his team receiving our For People and Planet award in the "Media" category for their efforts to reduce carbon dioxide (C02) emissions.
These efforts included reducing emissions from their operations by 80% with an additional goal of reducing emissions from their magazine paper and printing materials supply chain by 10% by 2015. The team has succeeded at numerous other efforts from obtaining Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) Gold Status for their headquarters building to compost and recycling programs in their cafeteria.
Since the origin of our relationship, with NGS, the Society has been a key supporter of several of our projects including the Purus REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) Project in Acre, Brazil, and the Native Species Reforestation Project in Panama to offset the Society's respective travel and office emissions.
We had the opportunity to speak with Hans on his impressive 41 years at the National Geographic Society and his broader work in the sustainability realm.
1. Please describe your current role as Chief Sustainability Officer at NGS and what lead you to that position?
I came to the Society in 1973, with a background in commercial printing. I came here to work in one of the photographic labs, compiling film for wall maps for 1.5 years and subsequently became responsible for the production and then the manufacturing of the Magazine. During that time I also handled all paper purchasing for the Society so I became very conversant with the issues related to paper manufacturing and the paper market. I took particular interest in learning all I could about the environmental impacts of all aspects of paper making; from seedling in the ground to recycling of old paper products. I took great pride in working with our paper suppliers to make sure they abide by or exceeded all applicable environmental regulations.
In 2006 I headed up a group of concerned NGS employees who felt we as an organization could do more to reduce the impact our operations had on climate change and to raise our collective awareness of our responsibility to conduct our business sustainably. Our groups focused on measuring the carbon emissions that we as a company were responsible for, including those emitted on our behalf by our suppliers. We knew we had to know our corporate carbon footprint, not only in the aggregate, but by product line or service sector so we could have a roadmap for the remedial actions we wanted to take. On the basis of this information, we made our buildings carbon neutral, achieved LEED-EB Gold status for our complex, and certified our campus as Energy Star rated and implemented many energy saving features.
On the basis of our success, I was designated Chief Sustainability Officer in 2009.
2. How did you get started in sustainability work? Who or what inspired you to go into a career in sustainability?
I have always had an inclination to try to be environmentally responsible and I like to think of myself as acting on what I know to be true. This is what led me to set environmental policy for our paper suppliers when I was handling paper purchasing for the Society, implementing a requirement to use best forest management practices, to exceed the guidelines of the Clean Air and Water Acts. In the mid 1990's I became increasingly convinced of not only the fact of climate change, but the reality that it was human activity that was causing this phenomenon. Additionally human activity was consuming finite natural resources at obviously unsustainable rates. I was of course aware that the Society was publishing or producing related stories in our Magazine and TV productions on these subjects so the problem was not a lack of public awareness of the issues but rather a problem of failing to act on what we know. I felt compelled to make a difference and to act, so I began talking to people and knew there was a critical mass of my colleagues who felt strongly, wanted to help, and were willing to volunteer their time to make a difference. That led to the formation of the GoGreen Committee (Now Green Team) which has been meeting monthly since late 2006 and is leading the sustainability initiative at the Society.
3. What personal accomplishments in the sustainability realm are you most proud of?
I would have to say being instrumental in starting the sustainability initiative at the Society and thereby creating an awareness that we as an organization and as individuals could and needed to do more than we were.
As to specifics: 1) Focusing our efforts on knowing our carbon footprint and focusing our efforts at reducing that that footprint by eliminating waste where we found it and thereby eliminating the cost of that waste. 2) Setting and then achieving the goal of becoming a carbon neutral facility and qualifying our Buildings for LEED-EB Gold certification. 3) Doing the most comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) ever done on a Magazine in cooperation with our paper and printing suppliers. This was completed in 2009. 4) Convincing the Society to become a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) driven company in 2012. 5) Committing the Society to the idea of offsetting our scope III carbon (all indirect emissions except for purchased electricity, heat and steam). To date, we have reduced our scope III by over 20% since 2008.
4. What are you currently working on in the sustainability realm?
We are working with our suppliers of printing and digital media storage to document their emissions on our behalf and to look into renewable energy for those emissions. We are working to achieve carbon neutral status for everything we do, and to send zero waste to landfill. My goal is to have sustainability become part of the culture of the Society.
5. What is your personal biggest sustainability challenge?
Changing behavior at our company and getting more companies to start addressing climate change. Behavior changes are hard. Energy has always been cheap in the US, and the challenge is to change that perception and get people to change their behavior and use less. The other challenge is for all of us to personalize climate change and take responsibility for that change. At the end of the day each of us must make a commitment to change if we are to solve this problem. We all have the tendency to wait for someone else to start. Don't wait for someone else. You do it. Each of us can start today by: not leaving lights on, shortening the showers we take, using mass transit, recycling everything we can, etc.
6. What is going to be the biggest challenge for sustainability in the next 20 years?
Complacency on the part of most of us. Dependence on someone else to do the job for us. Ignoring the noise from the fossil fuel industry to say everything is OK when it is clearly not. A Congress that is divided to the point of dysfunction, so no federal leadership is possible. The naysayers that persist in trying to say that this is not a problem, and it is bad for the economy to address this issue. The fear mongers who wish to use this issue to divide us rather than to say here is a challenge we can unite on and fix.
7. For the next generation of environmental professionals, what advice would you give?
You do not have to be an expert. Read and act on what you know. Make the business case that waiting is paramount to throwing money away and that America cannot compete with clean economies around the world. Make the business case that inaction, or little action, is far, far more expensive and costly to jobs and prosperity than the most drastic actions we take today.
8. How did Carbonfund.org help you achieve your sustainability goals?
Carbonfund.org has been able to find projects for us to help us offset our use of natural gas to heat our buildings and use in our cafeteria. It has also helped us find projects that offset our business travel. My question to any offset provider has always been: Can you get me a two 'fer or three 'fer? By which I mean I am looking for projects that not only reduce carbon buildup in the atmosphere by adding sequestration capacity, but does doing so expand the habitat for an endangered species (either flora or fauna) in an area, thereby enhancing the possibility of that species' survival? So I am always interested in finding projects that have multiple benefits with the primary one being carbon emissions reductions. So far, Carbonfund.org has done a really good job finding such projects for us.
9. Why did you choose to work with Carbonfund.org?
In keeping with the idea of sourcing locally, I liked that Carbonfund.org is in fact local to Washington DC metro area. I also like the fact of Carbonfund.org being a not-for-profit, as I believe that addressing climate change should not be a profit driven undertaking. That is not to say that we should not do business with for profit entities, it is just that if not-for-profit is an option; that is my preference so we can put more dollars into emissions reductions.
Pay Now or Pay More Later – Climate Change Costs Rising
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report, titled Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, from Working Group II of the IPCC, on Monday that says climate change's effects are already happening across the globe. No continent, country or ocean is immune. Unfortunately, in many cases, the world is not prepared for risks from a changing climate. The report determines there are opportunities to respond to such risks but the risks become difficult to manage the more global warming there is.
"With high levels of warming that result from continued growth in greenhouse gas emissions, risks will be challenging to manage, and even serious, sustained investments in adaptation will face limits," said Chris Field, Co-Chair of Working Group II. Field added: "Understanding that climate change is a challenge in managing risk opens a wide range of opportunities for integrating adaptation with economic and social development and with initiatives to limit future warming. We definitely face challenges, but understanding those challenges and tackling them creatively can make climate-change adaptation an important way to help build a more vibrant world in the near-term and beyond."
The report outlines climate change impacts experienced thus far, future risks from global warming and opportunities to reduce risks. Some of the impacts of climate change that have already happened affect: agriculture, human health, ecosystems on land and in the oceans, water supplies, and some people's livelihoods. Climate change doesn't care whether your country is rich or poor, whether you're located in the tropics or the South Pole, on a small island or land-locked on a large continent. It is affecting everyone on the planet and we must prepare now or pay a higher price later. The scary thing is that there are limits, even on the price we can pay.
"We live in an era of man-made climate change," said Vicente Barros, Co-Chair of Working Group II. "In many cases, we are not prepared for the climate-related risks that we already face. Investments in better preparation can pay dividends both for the present and for the future."
Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC, said: "The Working Group II report is another important step forward in our understanding of how to reduce and manage the risks of climate change. Along with the reports from Working Group I and Working Group III, it provides a conceptual map of not only the essential features of the climate challenge but the options for solutions."
The Working Group I report was released in September 2013 and the Working Group III report will be released in April 2014. The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report cycle ends with the publication of its Synthesis Report in October 2014.
The Working Group II contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (WGII AR5) is available at www.ipcc-wg2.gov/AR5 and www.ipcc.ch.
Overwhelming Majority of Scientists Agree Climate Change is Happening and Man-Made
According to the "Climate Change in the American Mind" report, 33 percent of Americans said they believed there was widespread disagreement among scientists and four percent said that "most scientists think global warming is not happening." Less than half (42 percent) of Americans knew that "most scientists think global warming is happening."
The fossil fuel industry is waging a successful disinformation campaign. They took their strategy straight from Big Tobacco, who successfully bred doubt for many years that health experts were undecided on whether or not smoking cigarettes negatively impacted health. The idea seems laughable now, but we need to address the serious situation of the ailing health of our planet.
In fact, 97 percent of experts agree climate change is happening and it is human-caused. A new report was released this week from the world's largest scientific society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). The report entitled, "What We Know" doesn't presume to tell Americans what to think about global warming. Instead it says in the introduction that, "we consider it to be our responsibility as professionals to ensure, to the best of our ability, that people understand what we know: human-caused climate change is happening, we face risks of abrupt, unpredictable and potentially irreversible changes and responding now will lower the risk and cost of taking action."
Honestly, the first step of admitting that climate change is happening and that humans are the cause is less about blame and more about recognizing that there is a problem before we can take the logical next step to solve it.
I hope we can see the misinformation about climate change for what it is and start making changes before things look like this Isaac Cordal sculpture depicting politicians discussing global warming.

Documentary Angel Azul Highlights Coral Reefs' Plight from Global Warming
Scientists predict that in 50 years we'll have lost almost 70% of our natural reefs. "Which is quite a heavy statistic," says environmentally inspired artist, Jason deCaires Taylor. He is the focus of a documentary named, Angel Azul, exploring the weaving of art with an important environmental solution; the creation of artificial coral reefs.
You may be asking yourself why coral reefs are important to humans. The fact is that they're important for several reasons. The first is that they provide us with resources and services worth many billions of dollars each year; namely through food, protection and jobs. Coral reef ecosystems support commercial and recreational fisheries and are tourism-related destinations that inject billions of dollars to local economies. Furthermore, healthy coral reefs are a natural shoreline buffer helping to protect us from waves, storms and floods. Lastly, coral reef plants and animals are important sources of new medicines being developed to treat cancer, arthritis, human bacterial infections, heart disease, viruses and other diseases.
"As humans continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the climate is … on the threshold of a new regime, with dire consequences for reef ecosystems unless we get control of climate change," said Richard Aronson, a biology professor at Florida Institute of Technology. He continues to add, "Local issues like pollution and overfishing are major destructive forces and they need to be stopped, but they are trumped by climate change, which right now is the greatest threat to coral reefs."
Taylor founded the Museo Subacuatico de Arte (MUSA) in Cancun, Mexico, installing 400 life-like cement statues made from plaster molds of a diverse selection of human models. The documentary is named for a sculpture of an angel with outstretched arms and Gorgonian coral wings that gently flutter with the tide. The hope is that the Angel Azul will symbolize a guardian of the reef, protecting and nourishing the aquatic life around her. This kinetic sculpture is the first to be installed underwater.
Angel Azul the movie also features Paul Sánchez-Navarro, Director of The Ecological Center in Akumal, Mexico explaining the fragile state of the Yucatán's coral reefs and proposing solutions for their survival. The documentary's narration is provided by actor, writer and social activist, Peter Coyote.
"Obviously this type of work is quite different from normal art projects. Because the main objective of it is about conservation; making an artificial reef, increasing the biomass underwater, creating habitat areas, aggregating fish" says Taylor.
Coral reefs are resilient. They can recover and re-grow, but only if climate change can be mitigated or reversed. We need to examine our lifestyles and find ways to reduce energy use. It will help our wallets and the environment.

Comments On Sep 10, 2012:I have a Honda VTX 1800F, and these mirrors looked awesome on it. I bought the gloss black mirrors, I have stock handlebars and I could see out of them easily. I didn't have as much of a top and bottom view as these are obviously narrower than stock, but these are way better than the teardrop mirrors on a friend's bike. I can see everything easily without moving my head. I made custom mounting adapters that allowed for a nice flush mount look, which improved the looks because the metric mounting adapters raised them a little. I haven't had any problems with wind or vibrations moving them around either. I have recommended these to some of my friends with confidence.Rocky Mountain ATV/MC delivered them quickly, with great protection.

More Deadly Than the Male
this wiki
More Deadly Than the Male is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Toshiko Kasen, the wife of Yakuza leader, from her apartment in the Torrington district of Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toni arrives at Toshiko's apartment in Torrington, knowing nothing about her. She explains, however, that she wants her husband, Kazuki, to be humiliated and destroyed before being killed. She says that Toni dealt the Yakuza a big blow by destroying their tank but that Kazuki is re-arming, with a shipment coming in soon. Toni leaves and drives to a dock in Bedford Point and kills the Yakuza men guarding the shipment. Toni steals the boat and drives it to a dock in Rockford/Aspatria, avoiding more Yakuza men in boats. Toni then gives the weapons to business owner Phil Cassidy.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Steal the Yakuza arms shipment from Bedford Point
- You'll have to get past the Yakuza guards
- Take the weapons to Toshiko's contact
- Look out for more Yakuza boats
The reward for completing the mission is $2,000. The mission Cash Clash is unlocked. The Minigun becomes available for purchase at Phil Cassidy's Fully Cocked Gun Shop in Bedford Point.
- Though the name of the mission refers to Toni dealing damage to Kazuki on the orders of his wife Toshiko, it also refers to the Black Widow spider, a species known for the females, which are quite deadly, and their habit of killing the harmless male soon after mating.
- This is Phil Cassidy's only appearance in Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories

How To Find The Right Veterinarian
Among the most important and vital decisions you'll ever make as a pet owner is finding a high quality and affordable health care provider for your cat, dog, or other lovable animal family member. Choosing the perfect veterinarian is a personal choice, but you'll want to be sure to choose a vet that offers the highest possible standard of service and care.
When Should I Start The Search For A Veterinarian?
Pet owners look for new vets for a multitude of reasons, such as a recent adoption or a move to a new city or home. An example would be if you are moving from a practice in Atlanta to vets in Augusta GA. But also possible are concerns about how good the current veterinarian's quality of treatment and care for the pet has been. This is especially true if the pet has specific health conditions.
How Can I Find A Vet Who Is A Good Fit?
Veterinary Practices are evaluated on a variety of factors: their facilities, equipment, staff, and care of patients. These factors are scored on quality by The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Search the AAHA website at www.healthypet.com for a roster of accredited veterinarians in your city.
You can also talk to your personal network of friends, family, and neighbors who have pets of their own—particularly the ones who place a high value on their pets' health and welfare.
How Do I Decide Which Veterinarian is Right for My Pet?
When selecting a vet, take these things into consideration:
Make an appointment to visit the vet's facilities and to speak with the doctor on your own so you can get a feel for the level and quality of care provided.
At your appointment, give an honest evaluation and consider whether the place is clean, modern and well-organized.
Ask about the number of veterinarians on the staff. For many practices, there may be a shared responsibility between vets for patients. An example of this may be that the staff cover for each other during vacations, sick leave, or other absences.
Is the vet a good communicator? Effective communication is very important to any pet care relationship.
Ask plenty of questions! Don't be bashful; most vets appreciate an active interest in pet care from their pet owner clientele.
What Types of Questions Should I Ask A Potential New Vet?
This list is a good start. Feel free to add in more specific questions that relate to your situation and any medical conditions that your pet has to get an even better feel of the veterinarian's ability to provide quality care:
Is this practice accredited by the AAHA?
How are overnight patients monitored?
What type of equipment and/or tools does the practice use?
Are specialist referrals given by this practice?
What evaluations are given to a pet before anesthesia and surgery?
Are there licensed veterinary technicians on staff at this practice?
What protocols are used for pain management for a pet here?
Can I Switch My Vet If I Am Unhappy Or Have A Problem?
Don't sweat about leaving your current veterinarian if you have concerns about the quality of care being given to your furry friend. Most practices, as with any business, expect a certain amount of clients to come and go.
Before you change to a new vet, make sure to request a complete copy of your pet's health records. These can sent by mail, email, or fax to your address or forwarded to your pet's new veterinarian.

The Friends of Beeghly Library at Heidelberg College have cooked the books again, without any fear of prosecution. They gathered for their third annual Edible Books Fest on Sunday March 30, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. in the Heidelberg College Campus Center Great Hall. Together with other food-loving, book-loving guests, they numbered nearly eighty. Forty of those who attended brought culinary creations reminiscent of books they had read--edible books.
While the judges assessed the eye appeal and taste appeal of the food entries, Kristen Stahl of the Heidelberg College Speech Team, provided an entertaining oral interpretation, " The Politically Correct Snow White," a satire appropriate for an event that takes place on or around April Fools Day each year. Guests were also entertained by the visual and verbal puns on book titles in the table centerpieces created by Trinity Lescallett.
Judges for the evening were Dr. Dominic Dottavio, President of Heidelberg College; Dr, Lisette Dottavio, Professor of Accounting; Kiuko Sanders, retired Professor of Japanese and Gourmet Cook; and Dennis Schultice, Director of Aramark Campus Dining Service at Heidelberg. They awarded blue ribbon certificates and gift coupons to five Edible Book Chefs. The award for the Most Delicious category was presented to Kathy Baxter for her Chicken Enchiladas, inspired by the book Holy Enchilada by Henry Winkler and Lin Oliver. Erin Shaffer won the prize for the Most Whimsical Edible book for her Alice in Wonderland Teapot Cake inspired by Lewis Carroll's well known book. Barbara Lescallett was the winner of the Most Creative award for her O'Jello food sculpture inspired by a pun on Shakespeare's Othello. The Most Artistic Award was presented to Bobbi Bishop for her Flowers in the Mirror, inspired by the book of the same title written by Li Ju-chen and translated by Lin Tai-yi. Karen Shaffer's giant Gingerbread Girl cookie, inspired by the book The Gingerbread Girl written by Lisa Campbell Ernst, won her the prize for the Best Edible Book by a Professional Chef or Cook. In addition to the five prizes awarded by the judges, guests were able to vote for their favorite Edible Book, naming Erin Shaffer the winner of the People's Choice Award for her Alice in Wonderland teapot cake.
The winner in each category took home a blue ribbon certificate and a gift coupon from a local merchant. Winners of nineteen additional door prizes supplied by area businesses were drawn. The 50/50 drawing netted the club $55.50 and an equal amount to the lucky winner.
Local businesses that sponsored prizes were Aramark Campus Dining Service, Ballreich Brothers, Big Lots, Bookmyer Printing, Carmie's Bar and Grill, Caruso's Corner, East of Chicago Pizza, Golden Crown Restaurant, Happy Garden Restaurant, Heritage IGA, Java Rave Coffee House, Molyet's Farm Market, Paper and Ink, Paulette's Restaurant, The Pharm, Pioneer Mill Restaurant, The Pit Stop, Ralph's Joy of Living, Reino's Pizza and Pasta, Threads, Tiffin Ace Hardware, Tiffin Bake Shop, T.J. Willie's Restaurant, Uncle Mike's Dairy Bar and XCaret Mexican Restaurant.
Members of the Planning Committee were Kathy Baxter, Bob Berg, Bobbi Bishop, Ed Krakora, Trinity Lescallett, Mary Lilly, Donna Overholt, Ted Randall, Laurie Repp, Deb Roszman, Nancy Rubenstein, Karen Shaffer, and Mitch Tucker.

GOSHEN – After spending most of her life associated with basketball, North Oldham High School Lady Mustangs' coach Nancy Martin has decided to call it quits.
Martin, the only head coach the NOHS program has had since it opened seven years ago, decided last week to resign.
"Looking back on it, I have been involved in basketball for 30-plus years either as a player or a coach and I need a break," Martin said. "I think the program is in a good place. The last two years we have had a winning record and whoever comes in will be in pretty good shape."

While some local motorists have lamented the slippery driving conditions during recent snowfalls, skiers and snowboarders in the area have embraced the white stuff.
Roz Pulo, director of marketing at Asessippi Ski Area and Resort, estimates that about 30 centimetres of snow fell during the most recent winter storm. The snowfall was a welcomed asset to the resort and a stark contrast compared to last year when temperatures remained well above seasonal norms and precipitation was at a minimum.

text: These little mice might be the most endearing little creatures out there. Known as the Eurasian Harvest Mouse, they are the smallest european rodent – only about half the size of a normal house mouse – and live in fields of tall grasses and cereal crops like oats and wheat. Their long tails are prehensile, giving them the ability to wrap around their playground-like living space and climb high into the air. They build circular nests and raise their young, unlike other mice, regurgitating food into their mouths much like birds. French photographers Jean-Louis Klein & Marie-Luce Hubert spent a year and a half with the cute little creatures, capturing the intricacies of their community in an astoundingly intimate way.

Every time I wore this someone would compliment me, and I often got told 'you always smell really good'. People would remember the smell of this one, and it lasted all day. I miss this perfume, and really wish they would make it again!
Not at all like the original LouLou, which is really strong and overbearing, this is subtle and very feminine.

President Barack Obama says he is willing to consider more spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit -- one of the next big items on the agenda in his struggles with Congress.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama also says he "will not compromise" over his insistence that Congress lift the federal debt ceiling. The nation's credit rating was downgraded the last time lawmakers threatened inaction on the debt ceiling, in 2011.
For the Republicans, Michigan Rep. Dave Camp says it's time to "identify responsible ways to tackle Washington's wasteful spending."
He says America's credit cards are maxed-out and there's no money in the bank account so the spending must stop.

This is an excellent page. Probably the best I've yet used on this site. Detailed and clear.
As it brings in a lot of different applications, its hard to know where to go for support on particular issues - a table or some such with the relevant support forums or channels would help a lot.
My particular problem - Everything works fine and tests fine but when I go to use xDebug in Eclipse as described, the 'break at first line' or explicit setting of breakpoints are ignored. The session terminates and the page appears as if they were not there.
There is probably some 'obvious' global setting I've missed but I can't find any solution through google although I have found a few threads by people with the same problem (and no solution).

Please Post a Question to Joomla! Coding 101 Forum
Hi. Why don't you post your question to the Joomla! Coding 101 Forum. I'll try to look for it, and there are probably people there who know way more about this than I do. Thanks. Mark Dexter 18:57, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
About not deleting the "Installation" folder
The tutorial says "you don't have to or don't want to delete the "installation" folder" and then goes on and says that if you run "administrator/index.php" you will see the admin login page. but this doesn't happen since the installation folder hasn't been deleted. what is shown is the warning to delete the folder.
Hi. That's interesting. On my system, when I run through Eclipse, it works fine without deleting the installation folder. That's why I put that information in there. Honestly, I don't understand why you don't get the warning the way you normally do. Are you running from inside Eclipse or just from the browser? In any case, you might want to post this question in the Joomla Development Forum, since those people know a lot more about this than I do. Mark Dexter 10:58, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
would be really nice to know how to fix the current conflict with zend and xdebug. PHP Fatal error: [Zend Optimizer] Zend Optimizer 3.3.3 is incompatible with Xdebug 2.0.3 in Unknown on line 0 which causes apache to promptly shutdown. I don't know which to turn off, zend or xdebug --N6REJ 13:56, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Troy
the php_xdebug should be commented out
Sorry.... reverted my changes. My install is still crashing. Others are having the same issue, I have to find out what the definitive fix is.
Vista Issue with xdebug
Hi. Are you running Windows Vista? If so, the xdebug DLL that is included with XAMPP doesn't work. You need to download the DLL file from the XDebug website. See the instructions here: Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Edit_PHP.INI_File. Mark Dexter 16:56, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Mark installed XAMPP on 64 bit Vista, however I am (still) finding installing XAMPP 32 bit Vista to be a significant headache. this by the way appears not to be an XAMPP problem by an Apache+XDebug+Vista problem.
I first had difficulty getting both Apache & mySQL to run at the same time - permission issues were reported. I *think* I solved that by right clicking on the XAMMP installation file and selecting "Run as adminstrator".
Having got both Apache & mySQL going together, I tried running XAMPP default screen & phpInfo with php_xdebug.dll (as supplied), php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll (just because I had it) and php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll (as recommended). All failed, occasionally after raising my hopes just enough...
Now I find that I can't start Apache (ERROR: Apache service not started [1]) and I can't stop mySQL (ERROR: MySql service not stopped [1]).
At present, I'm going to keep googling "apache xdebug vista" and see if anything turns up. --Pete Nurse 06:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Vista Issues
Hi Pete. I am currently working with the Xdebug dll php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll. I am still working this out, but it appears that the more recent one, php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll, sometimes crashes Apache. With the earlier DLL I am able to debug and run normally, at least so far.
I am having two issues. (1) How to start apache and mysql automatically. (2) When I run phing, I get the annoying "CLI has stopped working" message. It works fine and doesn't cause any problems -- just annoying. So, why don't you try that dll and see if that works for me. And if you have the autostart figured out, please let me know. Thanks. Mark Dexter 13:44, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Solved crashing issue Apache - XAMPP 1.7 for Win Vista 32 - with XDebug
I uncommented extension=php_xdebug.dll in the Dynamic Extensions section of php.ini
All is fine now. Apache was crashing repeatedly even with the latest xdebug.dll
I am not sure why this needs to be in the Dynamic Extensions section as later in the php.ini file the library is referenced as zend_extension_ts="C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"
More on the Vista/Apache/XDebug Nexus
On 32-bit Vista, I think I've managed to tame the problem. (Note "tamed" rather than "control"!)
The procedure is as follows:-
- Install XAMPP using the right click/Run as administrator. I'm not totally sure that Run as administator is necessary here but it can't hurt.
- Replace the supplied php_xdebug.dll with php_xdebug-2.0.4-5.2.8.dll (as discussed in the main document).
- Update php.ini line (change this to suit your installation) from
- Start XAMPP using Run as administrator - this is extremely important.
- Check operation by clicking the Apache Admin button in the XAMPP Control Panel.
- I find the previous step often fails with Apache turning itself off and giving the following error
Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.
- Restart Apache and recheck as many times as necessary before it runs correctly.
I have found that once Apache runs reliably, it's good until I reboot the PC.
More art than science I'll admit, but at least it works for me! --Pete Nurse 23:08, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Vista 64/Xdebug
I finally got my Vista-64 machine to work nicely with xdebug. The final solution was the one that Mark suggested of going backlevel on xdebug (instead of the most recent as the page suggests). My apache 2.2 was crashing with "Parent: child process exited with status 255 -- Restarting" in the apache log file.
My configuration: Vista/64 ultimate; Apache2.2; PHP 5.2.6; php_xdebug-2.0.2-5.2.5.dll
This was very frustrating getting this to work, but the few minutes of xdebug I had between crashes were so enticing, I had to keep plugging away at it. Much better that the code tab of Dreamweaver!
To autostart Apache & Mysql on a windows machine, you want to go to services and change the start type to auto.
Start/type "Services" Right click on Apache, select Properties Select "automatic" from the startup type dropdown menu.
Do the same to MySql.
Now that I have this set, time to get back to working on my application for summer of code...
Thanks for the great documentation, by the way! Andy
Sueter 20:07, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Spoke too soon
The fix wasn't as stable as I'd hoped. My periodic crashes have become more frequent and I just had to comment out xdebug to allow joomlapack to run without crashing.
One more try with Vista 64 that's working
Mark suggested dropping all the way back to php_xdebug-2.0.0-5.2.2.dll. That has been working successfully for a short time now, so I have my fingers crossed. So if you are having problems on a Vista 64 machine, try that.
Sueter 15:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to add to this since a spend a fair amount of time going around with this problem. I have a Windows Vista Ultimate SP2, 64 bit machine. I have installed XAMPP 1.7.1. What ended up working is what was installed with XAMPP. The php_xdebug.dll in the XAMPP install. When I tried using any other version of the php_xdebug.dll the apache server did not work. Hope this helps.

Refactoring article into smaller pieces
Hi, all. Thank you to everyone who has built up this wonderful article. It was very helpful to me as I got my workstation set up.
I think that this article is big and complex enough that it would benefit from being broken down into smaller pieces. I would like to add my lessons learned to the article. This means adding a step, setting up multiple virtual hosts in multiple separate development directories, and also adding platform and tool variations, e.g. EasyEclipse for PHP on Mac OS X. The article is barely manageable now. Adding a few more pieces like these would make it too complex, I think.
I propose keeping this article as an overview, with links off to the subarticles. The overview would be broken into several steps, each step getting one piece of functionality working and having a measurable end-point (web pages displaying, stepping in debugging working, etc.). There could be multiple articles for each step, showing different ways to accomplish that goal, or telling a different story for a particular platform.
Comments? Objections? JimDeLaHunt 07:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
My only concern is that it be easy to follow in a step-by-step process for new users, without having to follow too many links. Maybe one way to do it would be by platform: Windows, Linux, and Mac. Each user is only going to be interested in one of these platforms, so allowing them to skip information for other platforms would make sense. Even if there is some duplication for information that applies to all platforms, I don't think this would be too bad. Those are my thoughts. Mark Dexter 16:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Changing XDebug Port: Substantial Reason or Misleading Advice?
Thanks a lot for this helpful article!
I wonder what the reason is to change the default port of XDebug from 9000 to 10000. When reading the article for the first time I anticipated a port conflict within the suite of XAMPP and EclipsePDT or a nasty bug or some other serious problem - wild guessing, though! But there is no problem with port 9000 at least not for me. So the basic motivation seems to be a conflict with some other software on the author's workstation? Btw: There was a conflict with port 10000 on mine! Consquently it took me some time not to ignore the "Port is already in use" message of EclipsePDT, find out that there was another application and finally switch back to port 9000 ;-) So, my suggestion to improve this (in spite of everything) very good article is to stay with default port 9000 for a first try and to direct the reader back to the section of configuring the port of XDebug when EclipsePDT unruly complains that the "Port is already in use". Willy 25.Dec.2009 20:45 UTC
I don't remember why the port change. It could well be specific to Windows or some other software I had installed. If you want to edi the article as you suggest, I don't have any objections. Mark Dexter 00:32, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Eclipse 3.4.2
Agreed on the greatness of the article, however...
running Eclipse 3.4.2 (under Fedora 11 linux) it doesn't look like the examples at all, there's no "Run as web page", and a whole lot of other things.
I expect it would be easy for a seasoned Eclipse user to bridge the gap, but I'm brand new to Eclipse, although nearly thirty years (damn! Is it that long?) into software development. Makes it even more frustrating to be hitting my head against this brick wall :(
I get the same problem mentioned elsewhere, I can do the setup but I must be missing something because running my Joomla project homepage (on the internal Eclipse browser, or indeed an external FF instance) just gives me the page, taking no notice of the breakpoints I set.
Am I missing something 3.4.2 specific?
It looks like the "Coding 101" forum has gone, not sure if that's what the link given above is to, but it doesn't work. The "Coding Joomla 1.5" forum says "Don't post here, join the email group" :-( --Mark 19:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
The current Eclipse version is 3.5.x. So 3.4.2 is one year out of date. Maybe that's part of the problem, I don't know for sure. I would suggest downloading per the instructions in the article. Good luck. Mark Dexter 16:24, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
test with xdebug
A marvellous tutorial to learn jumla and to develop joomla in eclipse!! But i was disapointed, because debugging with the small scipt test.php doesnt work! it seams that the debug as.. runs without "break on the first line!". a extra beaekpoint placed on the first ligne did'nt help as well. Have You any tips whe he can examine to correct this? Regards! igonasu
Usually this is because there is a problem with the port number. I would re-check that you have the correct port set up in Eclipse and in your php.ini file. Also, make sure you re-start Apache after changing any settings. Good luck! Mark Dexter 15:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I restarded my system and i can choose 2 debug sessions. the first one crashes but the second session seemms to run. I will test it tomorrow.
Do You now why two sessions of test.php debug exists?! regards!
Problems with MySQL 5.5.x and beyond....
An excellent summary and very helpful.
Might be a good idea to mention that mysql 5.5.x and beyond does NOT work with the 1.5 install due to the removal of TYPE=
Mysql 5.1.37 does work...
Hi. I believe this will be fixed in version 1.5.3. Thanks. Mark Dexter 00:25, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
To debug your site, not Joomla itself
I am using eclipse to debug my particular sites not to make patches for the Joomla core.
I have found the following to work, there may be a better way, I'm still new at this.
- create a new php project
- navigate to the new project in the PHP Explorer
- use akeeba backup to make a copy of your site
- expand the backup in a temporary folder outside of the workspace
- use file/import/general/file system to bring in all of the resources (files and folders) for the entire site
- run the install
Actually just found an easier way
- create the project and select "Create project at existing location"
- for me, the project is already in my MAMP root folder 'htdocs'
- be sure to use exactly the same name as the current htdocs folder for the project name
- this does create a couple hidden files in the folder that you'll want to be sure don't go up to your production site.
Added new article for extension development
Great idea! See Setting up your workstation for extension development. Mark Dexter 02:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Error in "Recommended eclipse settings"
-startup plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 512m -vmargs -Xms512m -Xmx512m
Don´t know about Linux machines, but on Windows Systems the line starting with "plugins" must have a "/" instead of "\", or eclipse will throw an error on startup, mentioning, that it can't find the corresponding launcher.
For Windows the correct syntax must be:
--mk2-design 15:14, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, on my XP and Vista machines, that syntax works fine with Eclipse 3.4. Mark Dexter 22:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Extension Installation
I was able to get through it on my own, but I noticed this tutorial doesn't provide any guidance as to installing extensions in Eclipse. Specifically, I had no SVN enabling extension installed by default, but in the tutorial it seems like I should. Maybe a link to a help topic, or acknowledgment that I might need to install some extensions?
Hi. This is the second part of the article. In the first part, it guides you through installing SVN for Eclipse. Here is the link: Setting_up_your_workstation_for_Joomla!_development#Install_Eclipse_Subversion. Mark Dexter 22:09, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Not prompted for username and password when Check Out Joomla Source
>When it asks for the username and password, use "anonymous" as the username and leave the password blank.
I didn't get prompted for a username and password as per the instructions. To solve I had to change the following setting:
preferences->team->SVN->SVN Interface->Client
Change from JavaHL to SVNKit
Change in default path in Eclipse 2.2
See eclipse bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330744
Note the instructions at the bottom, for each project, go into properties, php-debug and set the appropriate path

The Maine Centers for Disease Control said the flu is now a statewide epidemic. But what does that designation mean? What is the impact of the epidemic on hospital emergency rooms? And what do doctors recommend to prevent the situation from getting worse?
Sitting at his office computer at Central Maine Medical Center, Dr. Imad Durra pulls up a graph that charts the number of flu cases in Maine this season AS compared to last. The difference is stark, last season's line looks like a series of small foothills. This season's line starts the same way, then takes a dramatic turn straight up the chart.
"Yes, it was relatively steady and this year it is an exceptionally severe season and early season," Durra said.
Patty Wight: "Wow! It's like a flu cliff."
Dr. Durra is an infectious disease doctor, and he said it's difficult to know why the flu is so bad this year, but one likely reason is it's a different strain from previous years.
"So it is genetically different and less people have immunity to it, so this is at least part of the reason why this season is earlier and more severe than previous years," he said.
It's so severe at this point that Maine Center for Disease Control director Dr. Sheila Pinette said it's an epidemic.
"And what we mean by that is that it is found in every county of the state and it has quadrupled in numbers over the last two or three years that we've had flu identified in the state, and it's affecting all age groups," Pinette said.
"I think this is the most severe outbreak that we've ever seen, even going back ya know, beyond H1N1, to the past decade," said Joshua Frances, Director of Emergency Management at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
He said emergency rooms are reaching full capacity across the state. St. Mary's hospital in Lewiston reports 20 to 25 more patients per day in its emergency room. Officials at Central Maine Med said rooms with two beds have to be used as singles in order to isolate flu patients. The number of people coming to the ER with the flu has some doctors concerned about spreading the virus to other, weaker individuals. Frances of Maine Med said patients should contact their primary care doctors as the first line of defense.
"Everything else continues to go on and happen during flu season, so there are plenty of other illnesses and accidents that happen that continue to add to our emergency department volume, in addition to the influenza patients," Frances said.
Beyond basic prevention such as washing hands frequently and coughing into your arm, doctors are saying it's not too late to minimize your chances of getting the flu in the first place.
"What I'm going to do is put this shot right into your muscle, okay?" said Medical assistant Jennifer Chase, who was preparing to deliver a flu vaccine to a patient at Concentra urgent care clinic in Lewiston.
"Ready? One, two, poke," she said. "You can consider yourself vaccinated for this flu season."
"And hopefully, if all goes well, you will never get the flu, but if you do get it, your symptoms will be less severe, okay?" she told her patient.
Maine Med's Frances said there are a lot of myths surrounding the flu vaccine, including the rumor that it can make you sick. He said that's not true, and healthy people should consider getting the vaccine as a way to protect their community.
"And that's really the strategy that we like to share, that this is not only about you, but it's about protecting others, your family, and the community to prevent the outbreak from growing bigger," Frances said.
Dr. Pinette from the CDC said there has been one pediatric flu death in the state, a 6-year old from Central Maine, as well as a few deaths of elderly patients who had confirmed cases.

|Ranmaru's Kekkei Genkai
|Naruto Episode #152
|Appears in
Ranmaru possessed a dōjutsu kekkei genkai which, when activated, causes his eyes to glow red in colour. It grants him abilities such as penetrative vision as well as the ability to hinder other dōjutsu such as the Byakugan which his own dōjutsu has been likened to.
Ranmaru's technique abilities include penetrating vision, disruption of eye-based kekkei genkai, and a unique chakra particle extension.
He has the ability to use his vision abilities to penetrate the walls of his small shack and view the outside world and perform genjutsu that can fool even the all-seeing Byakugan. This ability does not appear to have the range of the Byakugan, but it actually has the ability to counter that Hyūga trait. Ranmaru's vision also lets him locate and track others by sensing chakra, picking up chakra from long distances, and noticing changes in an individual's chakra. It is also able to sense how many individuals are present.
Ranmaru's vision has heightened perception and analytical powers like the Sharingan, meaning Ranmaru can comprehend any details he sees to predict the opponent's next move. He mainly contributed this ability to helping Raiga become more effective in battle. He can also see one's life force, allowing him to determine that Raiga, who had recently fallen in battle, was still alive. He was also able to transfer part of his own life force to Raiga.
