A yearlong branding process for one eastern Carolina city has culminated in a new slogan and logo.
Mayor Allen Thomas says that the Greenville city council unanimously approved "Find yourself in good company" as the city's new identity.
Thomas says that the PR firm North Star Destination Strategies came up with the slogan.
North Star Destination Strategies was featured in USA Today earlier this year and talked about its work with Greenville, according to Thomas.
Thomas says the firm was paid $90,000.
Also revealed is a new logo that will slowly work its way into prominence. Thomas says that different areas of city government were using different logos, and that it was time to work toward one identity.
The logo will not replace the city seal.
Thomas says that the rebranding represents an overall strategy of taking Greenville to the next level of competitiveness.

LLVM and its C/C++ frontend Clang are BSD licenced. It compiles faster
 than GCC and often produces better machine code. They can therefore be
 used inside an array library. It would give a faster NumPy, and we could
 keep most of it in Python.

Would that work for Ruby also? One of the advantages of C++ is that the code doesn't need to be refactored to start with, just modified step by step going into the future. I think PyPy is close to what you are talking about.

"There's not one thing left," said Mark Jeronimus, owner of Ace Hardware in downtown Duluth.
Make that the former Ace Hardware in downtown Duluth.
After a seven-week liquidation sale ended Saturday, the shelves were bare at the store which closed for good Saturday.
"They said it would take seven weeks and two days, they beat it by two days," said a tired Jeronimus who hadn't had a day off in for two months.
Even the fixtures were being removed on Monday.
There were several retailers interested in picking up the remainder of the lease as the sale began in late April. But so far nobody has signed, Jeronimus said.
He said representatives of the Ace Hardware have been in a few times, including 10 days ago making detailed measurements for a floor plan. And another interested party was scheduled to visit the store with a broker on Monday.
Jeronimus remains optimistic that another business will move in this year.
"The rent is very reasonable," he said. "It's a good quality building, right between major banks."

If Food Could Drink #3: Rum Cherries
If Food Could Drink #3:
Rum Cherries!
If Food Could Drink is an ongoing Beltramo's blog feature with the aim of showcasing the multitude possibilities for cooking with beer, wine, and spirits. Recipes include anything from appetizers to entrees to deserts and range in complexity, but always with the goal of encouraging readers to explore the nuances and versatility of alcohol in the kitchen. Eat, Drink, and be Merry!
"Rum, n. Generically, fiery liquors that produce madness in total abstainers." – Ambrose Bierce
It's summer time and perhaps this year you got a bumper crop of fruits and veggies from your garden. Or maybe you enjoy prowling farmer's markets for the freshest produce out there. But as summer wears on into fall, you might be thinking of how one might go about capturing these fantastical tastes and saving them for the months ahead.
Using Brandy is one classic method for preserving fruit well deserved of attention. Brandied Cherries have long been a cornerstone of the cocktailing world and I believe that our culture is all the better because of this. I happen to love cherries and wanted to take on the techniques of altering this fruit with alcohol, but I wanted to throw in a curve ball. Indeed, I wanted to take the road less traveled. I thought long and hard about the art of the Brandied Cherry and the ingredients used in typical recipes. What it comes down to, as with all cooking, food preparation, or mixology, is balance of flavors. In the end, you can use nearly any liquor (or liqueur) to preserve all manner of fruit, and so instead of Brandy, I opted for Dark Rum. For the starting point of my culinary experiment I chose one of my current favorites, El Dorado Cask Aged 5 Years Rum ($17.99).
When choosing the spices to put in your fruity potion you want to consider two things. The first is what flavors will bind well with the liquor you have selected as your base. For instance, with the aforementioned Brandied Cherries it is common to incorporated cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. To highlight the flavors of Dark Rum I decided to nix the cinnamon and nutmeg, retain the dark spice of the clove, and add in cardamom, a healthy dose of allspice, and vanilla bean.
The second concern in choosing spices lies in how you plan to use the altered and elevated cherries once you're finished. I had big dreams for what I might do with my future cherries, but more on that later.
The method to the madness:
- 1 ½ lbs. fresh cherries
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 whole cloves
- 6 whole allspice
- 4 cardamom pods
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup El Dorado Cask Aged 5 Years Rum
Pit your cherries. Yes, this will take forever and might give you a hand cramp, but just go for it anyway and eat a few cherries along the way to make the job a little easier on yourself. You will then want to slice your vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out the dark, gooey mush from the inside. The goo is what you want to use for this recipe, but don't throw away the husk of the bean because it's still packed with vanilla flavor from all the oils in its skin (Tip: put the scraped bean pod into a spare jar of sugar. Even after only a day or two the sugar will have a powerful aroma and flavor of vanilla that can enhance many future recipes).
Bring the water, sugar, lemon juice, and your spices to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. This is essentially just a flavored simple syrup. Cooking slightly longer here will thicken the mixture a little and result in more syrupy cherries. Be careful not to go too long, however, because you can burn this fairly easily. It's worth mentioning here that many of the store bought brands have a more viscous consistency because they use thickening agents in their recipes, such as gelatin or tapioca powder.
After the mixture has reduced slightly, remove the pan from the heat and carefully stir in the cherries and the Rum. Let the flavors meld together for a few minutes while continuing to stir. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cherries to a sterilized jar approximately 1 quart in size, then pour the liquid from the sauce pan over the cherries and seal on the lid. After the mixture has cooled, put it in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard and let rest for at least a month. Once opened, the jar should be kept in the refrigerator.
The way these cherries taste after all is said and done is almost indescribable. Each of the individual spice characters are there, but they've come together to be much greater than the sum of their parts. There's a deep earthiness to the spice notes that plays off the woodiness of the Rum. The Rum's rich molasses notes flirt with the luscious vanilla bean nuances. The allspice kicks up the Caribbean flare. The flavors linger on the tongue for a very long time after the cherry is gone, and it's slightly numbing in a very pleasant way.
I definitely like to use these Rum Cherries in a variety of cocktails because they're so dynamic while most garnishes tend to be passive. This will work in your favorite Manhattan, even though these cherries are Rum-based. There are more than enough vanilla and spice notes to make it work, plus that little something extra to make your taste buds sit up and take notice. If you really want to get decadent though, I suggest that you incorporate these Rum Cherries into the dessert at your end-of-the-summer barbeque. Dish up some bowls of vanilla ice-cream, add on some sliced nectarines and assorted berries, then add a few of these cherries on top and drizzle on some of the syrup from the jar. Can you say, "Food Coma"?

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:24-31 God met Moses in anger. The Lord threatened him with death or sent sickness upon him, as the punishment of his having neglected to circumcise his son. When God discovers to us what is amiss in our lives, we must give all diligence to amend it speedily. This is the voice of every rod; it calls us to return to Him that smites us. God sent Aaron to meet Moses. The more they saw of God's bringing them together, the more pleasant their interview was. The elders of Israel met them in faith, and were ready to obey them. It often happens, that less difficulty is found than was expected, in such undertakings as are according to the will of God, and for his glory. Let us but arise and try at our proper work, the Lord will be with us and prosper us. If Israel welcomed the tidings of their deliverance, and worshipped the Lord, how should we welcome the glad tidings of redemption, embrace it in faith, and adore the Redeemer!
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 24-26. - The transition is abrupt from the promise of triumph over Pharaoh to the threat of instant death. But we must bear in mind that some days may have elapsed between the two, and that the sin which provoked the menace was probably not committed at the date of the promise. The narrative of verses 24-26 is obscure from its brevity; but the most probable explanation of the circumstances is, that Zipporah had been delivered of her second son, Eliezer, some few days before she set out on the journey to Egypt. Childbirth, it must be remembered, in the East does not incapacitate a person from exertion for more than a day or two. On the journey, the eighth day from the birth of the child arrived, and his circumcision ought to have taken place; but Zipporah had a repugnance to the rite, and deferred it, Moses weakly consenting to the illegality. At the close of the eighth day, when Moses went to rest for the night, he was seized with a sudden and dangerous illness, which he regarded, and rightly regarded, as a God-inflicted punishment, sent to chastise his sin in breaking the Divine command (Genesis 17:10-12). Zipporah understood the matter in the same way; and, as her husband was too ill to perform the rite, she herself with her own hand cut off her boy's foreskin, and, still indignant at what she had been forced to do, cast it at her husband's feet, with the reproach - "Surely a bloody husband art thou to me." The rite once performed, however reluctantly, God remitted his anger, and. allowed Moses to recover his health, and pursue his journey. Verse 24. - It came to pass by the way in the inn. "Inns," in our sense of the word, were unknown in the East for many ages after the time of Moses, and are still of very rare occurrence. Khans or caravanserais take their place. These are unfurnished buildings, open to all travellers, who thus obtain shelter gratis? but must provide themselves with food, bedding, and all other necessaries. It is questioned, however, if even such a place as this is here meant. Probably, the malon of Moses' time was a mere recognised halting-place, in the vicinity of a well, at which travellers were accustomed to pass the night. The Lord met him and sought to kill him. A sudden seizure, followed by a dangerous illness, is generally thought to he intended (Knobel, Kalisch, Rosenmuller, Canon Cook); but the words seem more appropriate to a miraculous appearance, like that of the angel to Balaam (Numbers 22:31). Still, it is quite possible that nothing more than an illness is meant.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And it came to pass by the way, in the inn,.... As Moses and his family were travelling in their way to Egypt, at an inn where they stopped for the refreshment of themselves and cattle, or in order to lodge all night: so it was, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him; not the uncircumcised son of Moses, as some think, but Moses himself, who had neglected the circumcision of his son; that from the context, and the fact of Zipporah, after related, seems to be the reason of the divine displeasure, and not his bringing his family with him, supposed to be an hinderance of him in his work, nor of his staying too long at the inn, and not hastening his journey, which are the reasons given by some: and Moses's neglect of circumcision was not owing to the disuse of it among the Midianites, who being the descendants of Abraham, it is highly probable they retained this rite, and that it was used in Jethro's family, since Zipporah well understood the nature of it, and how to perform it; and it looks as if her eldest son had been circumcised before, seeing only one was now circumcised by her; but the Midianites perhaps followed the same practice as the Ishmaelites did, who were their neighbours, and the descendants of Abraham also, who deferred it till their children were thirteen years of age; or if this child was a very young one, it might have been put off, because of the journey they were just about to take, and purposing to do it when come into Egypt; but this was resented by the Lord in Moses, who had such knowledge of the law of God; and this displeasure of Jehovah might be signified either by inflicting some disease upon him, as Aben Ezra and Kimchi think, which threatened him with death, or by appearing in a terrible manner, as the angel of the Lord did to Balaam, with a drawn sword in his hand.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
24. inn—Hebrew, "a halting place for the night."
the Lord met him, and sought to kill him—that is, he was either overwhelmed with mental distress or overtaken by a sudden and dangerous malady. The narrative is obscure, but the meaning seems to be, that, led during his illness to a strict self-examination, he was deeply pained and grieved at the thought of having, to please his wife, postponed or neglected the circumcision of one of his sons, probably the younger. To dishonor that sign and seal of the covenant was criminal in any Hebrew, peculiarly so in one destined to be the leader and deliverer of the Hebrews; and he seems to have felt his sickness as a merited chastisement for his sinful omission. Concerned for her husband's safety, Zipporah overcomes her maternal feelings of aversion to the painful rite, performs herself, by means of one of the sharp flints with which that part of the desert abounds, an operation which her husband, on whom the duty devolved, was unable to do, and having brought the bloody evidence, exclaimed in the painful excitement of her feelings that from love to him she had risked the life of her child [Calvin, Bullinger, Rosenmuller].

Moses Leaves for Egypt
…23"So I said to you, 'Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn."'" 24Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and sought to put him to death. 25Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me."…

Euro area inflation stood at 2.2% in December, unchanged on the November reading and only slightly above the ECB's target of "below but close to 2.0%". According to the Economics Research Team at Goldman Sachs, "We expect inflation to moderate and decline to below 2% in the second quarter of this year." Meanwhile, core inflation continues its gradual downward trend, and is currently at 1.6%.
What is noteworthy about the behavior of Euro area inflation is its relative stability during the crisis. To be sure, headline inflation rose sharply to 4% during the summer of 2008 on the back of a rise in energy prices, and subsequently fell sharply to -0.6% a year later. Nonetheless, the average of headline inflation from the summer of 2008 until now is 1.9%, bang in line with the ECB's target.

James Beattie snatched Stanley a point with a 90th-minute equaliser in a 3-3 draw against promotion-chasing Burton having led twice.
Richardson said: "To be honest, if someone had said we would have got four points over Easter I would have bitten their hand off.
"We've got to take the positives that we kept going until the end and I thought we deserved the point and it could be a massive point for us.
"We know we need at least one more win as everyone around us is winning too and we are all scrapping for our lives but I'm sure we will get over the line.
"We've got plenty of character and spirit and it was mistakes for their goal and then I always know we have goals in us.

No one can pretend to be surprised when Bail-out Barack talks up an interventionist manufacturing policy in his campaign for re-election in November 2012. The man who defied the United States Constitution in displacing prior creditors at Chysler and GM during the bail-out bonanza of 2009, is unlikely to change his industrial policy spots a little more than two years on, given that he has focused his campaign towards the left-of- center of the Democratic Party.
The President is intent on pursuing an industrial policy driven by special subsidies and tax breaks for politically correct manufacturers such as Solyndra and GM, while punishing multinationals that do business overseas. He is prepared to force down the liabilities of failing companies such as GM to provide a facade of economic success under a mantle of continuing corporate failure.
What is more surprising, at first sight, is to find one of the three front-runners in the GOP presidential primaries – Rick Santorum – also running to the left-of-center in economic policy space with an industrial policy designed to outflank the President while a second front-runner – Newt Gingrich – runs on a far left-of-center policy to discriminate in favor of financial services.
Rick Santorum's policy is to discriminate against all non-manufacturing corporations in terms of the corporation tax. No doubt campaign monies are being funneled into his campaign from corporations that are borderline manufacturing. One can only imagine the Washington lobbying frenzy that will work its way across that borderline should his policies be enacted.
Newt Gingrich ,of course, is the champion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and of securitized junk bonds fouling up world financial markets. With Newt Gingrich in office, a new housing market bubble would rage across America, while President Gingrich would fill his worthless deep pockets with financial sector campaign monies.
The economic reality is that industrial policies of any kind typically foul up the United States economy. The manufacturing sector is fully capable of holding its own in the absence of government intervention, as key statistics clearly show.
Between 1970 and 2010, America's global manufacturing share has held firm at 22 percent despite the rise of Germany, Japan, Korea and China. Since 1947, the U.S. economy has grown sevenfold. So has U.S. manufacturing output. U.S. manufacturing has declined as a share of GDP, from 26 per cent in 1960 to 11.7 per cent in 2010, largely as a consequence of rapid growth in the service sector. It remains a powerful contributor. Taken alone, U.S. manufacturing would still be the eighth largest economy in the world.
The true measure of economic success in U.S. manufacturing has been the decline in jobs. In 1946, U.S. manufacturers employed one in three workers. In 2010, they employed one in eight. This adjustment has been driven by economic progress in the form of productivity gains. In constant dollars, real manufacturing output stood at $35,000 per worker in 1947. In 2010, it had risen to a remarkable $150,000.
Keep your political hands off U.S. manufacturing, Messrs Obama and Santorum. Quite frankly neither of you know what you are doing. Keep your campaign hungry fingers off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Newt Gingrich. Your rent extraction policies have already caused more than enough harm. You surely do know what you are about.
The only front-running market-oriented candidate in the 2012 Presidential race is Mitt Romney. GOP voters should keep this well in mind as this primary season advances.

April is STD Awareness Month
March 31, 2011
By E. Wayne Combs, Ph.D., U.S. Army Public Health Command (Provisional)
Approximately 19 million sexually transmitted diseases occur each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Almost half are in young people ages 15 to 24. One in two young people will get a sexually transmitted disease by age 25, and many won't know it.
Untreated STDs can cause serious medical complications like chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or passing an infection to an infant during child birth. Individuals infected with STDs are at a much greater risk for HIV infection.
The only way to "know for sure" if you or anyone else has an STD is to get tested. Testing is faster and easier than ever before. You can't assume that your healthcare provider will bring it up. You might feel embarrassed to bring it up, but it's absolutely essential.
You and your health care provider will decide what STD tests make the most sense for you. If you do have an STD, it's important to get treated as soon as possible. Here are some tips for having a talk with your heatlhcare provider:
Before Your Appointment
Aca,!Ac Think of problems or questions you have. Even if you only have one or two, write them down.
Aca,!Ac When you make your appointment, tell the receptionist that you'd like to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases.
The Appointment
It's the day of your appointment. Take a deep breath! Be prepared to ask lots of questions, be honest, and, if you don't understand a question or answer, ask for an explanation.
The Talk
A good sexual health exam begins with a good sexual health history. Here are some common questions that healthcare providers need to ask in order to help you:
Aca,!Ac How many sexual partners have you had recently'
Aca,!Ac How many sexual partners have you had in your lifetime'
Aca,!Ac Do you have sex with women, men or both'
Aca,!Ac Do you have oral sex'
Aca,!Ac Do you have anal sex'
Aca,!Ac Do you use condoms'
Aca,!Ac Do you have symptoms now'
Aca,!Ac Have you had symptoms in the past'
Aca,!Ac Have you ever had a sexually transmitted disease'
Aca,!Ac Have you used over-the-counter medications to treat your symptoms'
Aca,!Ac Do your partner(s) have any STDs or symptoms of STDs'
Aca,!Ac Do you have any drug allergies'
Aca,!Ac When was your last menstrual period'
These questions might seem really personal, but it's important to be honest with your healthcare provider. Your provider will help you make important decisions about what test(s) and treatment you may need. Finally, be sure to ask about when you'll get the results.

wet socks!!
why is it no matter how carefull i am doing water changes but i always seem to end up with wet socks....think im going to invent a new way to do it without getting wet socks!!! just thought id rant for a giggle lol
Are you using buckets?? Get yourself a "python hose" style water changer. I never have wet feet when using one of those.
I have the first one on the left in the first row. And worth every penny I might add.
Python Products - Products
There are other brands out there too btw.
Python is just awesome.
I third the python!
Essential fishkeeping device . I'd probably never have jumped back into fishkeeping without one .
Sent from Petguide.com App
I should say tho... that while it eliminates wet feet... you MUST be very very careful not to get on the phone distracted, walking around the house while chatting, forgetting all about the running water flowing non-stop from faucet to tank. :shock:
You MUST pay attention to it or else.
wet socks!!
I've walked in to my bedroom and found the sevs laying on their sides in order to stay wet. I've also overfilled tanks so the wet socks aren't necessarily a thing of the past....
defiantly getting one of those pythons,,they actually seem real good and come in diff lengths which is a bonus..im 6"2 tall but hate submersing my whole arm to reach the bottom lol...i havent walked off distracted from the water change.....yet.!
Well I know of someone who would do water changes when she popped home at lunch time to let the dogs out... YUP... went back to work while it was refilling! :shock:
wear a pair of wellies .no wet socks :mrgreen:
take your socks off, ... guaranteed they won't get wet :)

The Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Clint Barmes and right fielder Brad Hawpe on the 15-day disabled list today and recalled outfielder Seth Smith and infielder Ian Stewart from Triple-A Colorado Springs.
Smith was inserted into the lineup in right field for today's game against the New York Mets.
Barmes sprained his right knee when New York's Jose Reyes slid into him at second base during the 10th inning of the Rockies 6-5, 13-inning win last night. Barmes left after going 2-for-5 with two RBIs.
Barmes leads the Rockies with a .343 average and has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games. He has hit .400 with three homers and 10 RBIs since taking over for Troy Tulowitzki, who is out until the All-Star break with a torn left quadriceps.
The loss of Barmes means the Rockies are down to their third shortstop.
Hawpe's move to the DL is retroactive to Wednesday. He has been bothered by a sore right hamstring for three days. He hasn't played since Tuesday.
Hurdle said Stewart could see some time in the outfield.

Sorry. Perhaps that was an unnecessarily coarse headline. But have you ever seen a more pathetic, lame-brained, trashy performance by a couple of debate interlocutors than the one turned in by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos last night?
A friend wrote to me in mid-debate:
OK, this so-called debate is now more than half over, and NOT ONE REAL QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED! My wife and I are sitting here seething. Stephanopolous and Gibson are conducting this at 8th grade level ... Obama is the only adult out there. He is furious, you can tell, at how they are ganging up on him. Stephanopoulos asks, with a straight face, "Senator, do you believe your pastor is as patriotic as you are?" Obama should just shake his head, incredulously, and say, "How am I supposed to know? And what kind of question is that?"
This is really the low moment in the campaign. And then they use the videos of "normal" citizens asking about a flag pin. [Expletive deleted], how could you ever run for president of this country and not HATE this country by the time the campaign was over?
Gibson seemed a little surprised when the crowd booed during his post-debate wrap up, but, judging from the (utterly warranted) comments pouring in to Andrew Sullivan's website, he's lucky people were not able to sneak over-ripe produce into the hall. Actually, I'm a little disappointed in Philly, famous for the most vicious and sociopathic sports fans in America. The football stadium used to have a mini-court in its bowels so that fans could actually be charged and tried right on the spot. Couldn't they do a little better than just booing those two clowns?
I used to admire Stephanopoulos, but he really did seem more like a Carville-trained hack than a journalist. Gibson inevitably seems, to me, like a morning show lightweight dressing himself in faux gravitas, eyeglasses down at the end of his honker and one or two fact-y kind of thing rolling around his noggin, which he brandishes and (sorry) clings to with my-volume-dial-goes-to-11 zeal. Last night it was the capital gains rate to tax revenue ratio.
You let us down, Philly fans. There was a time when the severed head of Herman Edwards would have gone winging up there on stage. You're getting soft.
UPDATE: I don't think I truly grasped the kind of Bastille moment building against the press right now. Look at the comments on ABC's own site. HuffPo has the heckling clip..

Re: Number of Pages Instead of Bytesrerose1975 Jan 18, 2011 6:40 PM (in response to CasperAZ)
I would love that! Sometimes I download something just to be disappointed that it isn't a longer story. Someone has probably created some sort of chart! LOL
Re: Number of Pages Instead of Bytesbklvr896 Jan 18, 2011 7:50 PM (in response to rerose1975)
If there is a paper version of the book, go look at the number of pages on the paperbook. This has been discussed extensively and since eBook pages are somewhat relative, the question becomes, what pages to do you use, the hardcover number of pages, the paperback number of pages. You may have noticed that with most eBooks it takes 2-4 page turns to actually get to a new page number. I'm reading a book now that the Nook tells me has 1005 pages, but it's 3 page turns for each "page", so it's 3015 "Nook" pages.
Re: Number of Pages Instead of Bytespam-livingimage Jan 20, 2011 7:17 AM (in response to bklvr896)
It is confusing. We writers that don't have books in print, when asked about how many pages are in our novels, can't really say. I know that each of my novels has over 500 manuscript pages. But manuscript pages are different. So I have to calculate manuscript pages to print book pages and come up with a little over four hundred pages for each novel.
I pretty much rely on the % number, (at the bottom of the ereader) of the book I'm reading to know how much is left. There is also the kb number on the book's page that will tell you how long a novel is. You can compare the kb to other full length novels and get an idea of how long the book is.

Bopara warms to the task
Watch a match report from the Kensington Oval in the video player above
Ravi Bopara took his opportunity to impress as England began their ICC World Twenty20 campaign by coasting to a seven-wicket warm-up win over Bangladesh.
Bopara, back in the England reckoning following a winter left to his own devices, hit 62 off 49 balls to carry England to a target of 127 with 17 balls to spare at the Kensington Oval.
The Essex batsman got his chance at number three due to Kevin Pietersen's late arrival in Barbados after spending time at home with his pregnant wife.
Bopara did not disappoint, sharing stands of 45 with Craig Kieswetter and 71 with Paul Collingwood to help England seal a professional victory which puts them in good heart ahead of tomorrow's second warm-up fixture against South Africa at the same venue.
Having chosen to bat first, Bangladesh struggled to score freely against the left-arm spin of Michael Yardy, who claimed 3-20 off four overs, and mustered only 126 for seven.
Michael Lumb slapped Syed Rasel to cover to go early in England's reply before a fair assessment could be made of his and Kieswetter's new Twenty20 opening partnership.
But Kieswetter put his mark on proceedings with a six over wide long-on off Rasel's left-arm pace and another over long-off at Shakib Al Hasan's expense.
By then, Bopara was under way with a steered edge for four off his first ball, and, despite a maiden from Abdur Razzak, bowling the innings' first over of spin, the second-wicket pair appeared set to negotiate the trial by lack of pace on an increasingly slow surface.
Kieswetter was undone, however, by a flatter ball from Shakib which turned and left him stranded yards out of his crease.
Bopara escaped on 30 when he poked a return chance back to a diving Razzak, but made no other mistakes - until he ran himself out with the scores level - as he cashed in again on a ground where he made his maiden Test hundred last year.
Collingwood showed his experience in accompanying Bopara for nine overs, making 32 not out off 27 deliveries.
Bangladesh rode their luck to get their uneven innings off to a handsome start, rushing to 39 without loss in five overs.
Imrul Kayes was dropped by Luke Wright, running in from deep midwicket, in the first over off James Anderson, while Mohammad Ashraful was caught behind off a Stuart Broad no-ball in an over whose first two deliveries went for 10.
Kayes was first to go, well held by a diving Lumb at third man from an upper-cut off Anderson, but it was the introduction of Yardy and off-spinner Graeme Swann that stalled the Bangladesh charge.
As wickets began to fall - six for 50 in 10 overs - the big shots subsided on a surface offering some turn.
Mohammad Ashraful was neatly caught down the leg side by Kieswetter in Yardy's first over, and the Sussex all-rounder soon had two more, Aftab Ahmed holing out on the leg-side boundary and Shakib playing on as he came down the pitch.
From 88 for five at the 15-over mark, Bangladesh were indebted to Mahmudullah's sensible unbeaten 38.
It was a bonus when he struck two boundaries to fine-leg off the last two deliveries, bowled by Tim Bresnan, but the target proved well within England's reach.

You can tell a great deal about a town, I think, by having a look at its schools and its churches.
This exercise — literally, if you take a walking tour — shows Baker City to be a place of substance.
For a city which has never, during its 146 years, boasted an official population of as much as 10,000, Baker seems to me graced with an inordinate share of noteworthy houses of learning and of worship.
These are solid structures, constructed of stone and brick, heavy materials largely immune to the harsh climate of a mountain valley.
It is as if the people who designed and who assembled these buildings understood that this city, so unlike the mining boom camps that surrounded it, had real staying power, and that its constructions should reflect that persistence and prominence.
I like to believe that these craftsmen, were they ever of a philosophical bent, imagined while they were hard at their labors that a century on the quick footsteps of pupils would yet echo in the halls, that the preacher's devotions would still wash over the penitent in their pews every Sunday.
Anyway I hope they did.
They were entitled to the assurance that the fruits of their toil would last not mere decades but centuries, would in fact outlast depression and wars and the deprivations of blizzard and August sun.
These buildings are in their way the very antithesis of our disposable plastic society. We sometimes say, in their defense when someone suggests that one be dismantled, that edifices such as these can't be replaced.
But the real heart of the matter, it seems to me, is that they don't need to be replaced.
Yet even though so many of these buildings stand as they always have, the city itself has changed.
The churches, by and large, have endured.
The twin spires of St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, for instance, form an indelible part of the city's skyline just as they have for more than a century at the corner of First and Church.
And the cathedral's even older neighbor just to the south on First Street, St. Stephen's Episcopal, which dates to 1876, continues to welcome its congregation.
Yet our families, in the main, are smaller than they used to be, and so we haven't the need for quite so many classrooms.
Three of Baker's venerable schools no longer serve their original purpose.
The oldest, North Baker Elementary at 2725 Seventh St., celebrated its centennial last year. The school board decided last year to close North Baker and distribute its students between Brooklyn and South Baker.
The Central Building, built in 1917 at Washington Avenue and Fifth Street, served as Baker High School until 1952. After that it was an elementary school and then part of the middle school campus. It was closed three years ago, and earlier this month the school board declared the three-story building as surplus property, available for sale.
Churchill School, built in 1923 at 17th and Broadway, closed several years ago and was sold.
This is not altogether a bad thing.
A building, when you think about it, is only a shell, a blank canvas.
What matters is not what a building is used for but that it remains, its mortar sound, its tuffstone blocks unblemished.
I hope, though, that each of the schools can be put to some worthy purpose, even if that purpose is not quite so meaningful as the education of our children.
Whether this in fact happens will be, perhaps, the truest test of our commitment to Baker City's past, a duty for which the city has shown an admirable degree of faith.
What will we choose as the symbol of our city's stature, modest though it is?
A fresh layer of asphalt on the freeway which enables people to pass the whole breadth of this place in less than the span of a pop song?
Or a wealth of buildings that went up before almost anybody alive today was born, before the first automobile clanked into town, before the term "world war" was anything but a fantasy novelist's conceit?
I'm pulling for the buildings.
I prefer in my symbols a certain level of stability. I like to know that, any time the notion comes over me, I can go for a stroll and see structures which refute in their stolid way the impermanence of the digital age, where so much of what we see and hear is measured in bits and bytes, ephemera that can disappear forever if a finger taps the wrong plastic key or a bolt of lightning comes too close.
Which is both touching and troubling.
I went for a bicycle ride the other evening after most of the heat had gone from the day.
I was pedaling south on Highway 7, just about at the weigh station, when I noticed that an SUV, which had passed me just a minute or so earlier, was parked on Beaver Creek Loop where it meets the blacktop.
The rig's liftgate was open, and I figured maybe the driver had a flat tire and was digging out the spare.
As I rode closer I saw a figure standing beside the vehicle, holding something in one hand.
It wasn't the lug wrench I expected.
It was a helmet.
A bicycle helmet, to be specific.
The index finger of the man's free hand was pointing at the helmet, or rather jabbing at it, like the beak of a bird pecking for worms.
The motivation for this bit of miming was obvious.
I wasn't wearing a helmet.
Riding a bicycle without wearing a helmet is stupid.
And riding a bicycle, helmet-less, on the slender shoulder of a 55 mph highway exemplifies idiocy of truly epic proportions.
I recognized the helmet holder.
It was Dave Coughlin, a local attorney and, as a triathlete of some repute, a man who has spent considerable time on a bike.
Now it happens that my political predilections tend toward the libertarian.
As such, I have bristled at the proliferation of laws which require people to wear protective devices such as seat belts and helmets.
(In Oregon everybody has to wear a seat belt; bicycle helmets are mandated for kids 15 and younger only.)
But my philosophical objections aside, the truth of course is that if you wear a helmet while bicycling you're less apt to end up lying in the barrow pit with your brains oozing messily from a gash in your skull.
Which is pretty much the point that Dave was trying to get across with his gesticulating.
So anyway, thanks, Dave.
I appreciate your concern for the most vital of my organs.
And, though I have no proof of any collusion between you and my wife, I'm suspicious. Lisa, you should know, has commented many times — along with making uncomplimentary comparisons between my intelligence and that of certain insects — about my neglecting to wear a helmet.
One of which, by the way, I own.
I rummaged through a closet when I got home from my ride and found it, too.
If you don't trust me you can call Lisa and ask her.
Although I'm thinking about riding past your house.
I know how you lawyers prefer physical evidence over circumstantial.
