S. Africa Business Confidence Falls as Strikes Cut Output
South African business confidence slumped as strikes in the mining industry curbed output in Africa's biggest economy, two separate reports show.
The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry's business confidence index fell to 90.4 last month from 92.4 in the previous month, matching the lowest level in almost 10 years reached in March. The RMB/BER index, which the Bureau for Economic Research compiles on behalf of Rand Merchant Bank from surveys of businesses, slumped four points to 48 in the second quarter, RMB said in an e-mailed statement today.
Mining strikes last year caused almost 15 billion rand ($1.5 billion) in lost output and shaved about 0.5 percentage point off gross domestic product, according to the National Treasury. Unrest has continued this year and may intensify as unions seek to pressure companies into agreeing to wage increases above the 5.9 percent inflation rate.
"In the context of continued labor unrest, warnings of power outages and the sharp fall in the value of the rand, one could easily have expected a decline bigger than the actual four index points," RMB, a unit of Johannesburg-based FirstRand Ltd., said in the statement.
A reading below 50 indicates more companies are pessimistic about prevailing business conditions.
The rand has fallen 13 percent against the dollar this year, making it the worst performer among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg after the Japanese yen.
"Socio-political events, including on-going militant labor action, are having a harmful impact on the business mood and commercial and industrial activity levels," the Johannesburg-based chamber said in an e-mailed statement. "Ill-disciplined and lawless conduct by economic role players leads to undesirable effects on growth, the rand and unemployment, which could have been avoided."
The chamber's index is compiled from 13 economic indicators, including retail sales, inflation and financial gauges, such as a stock-market index and the currency.

I'm going to buy a second hand laptop and would like your thoughts on what I should do to ensure it is secure should I use it for personal housekeeping (finance, etc.) and work.
So would want to avoid spyware or rootkits, for example.
Things I can think of are:
- Wipe the hard disk, re-install the OS (I have genuine key and installer). That to me seems enough.
What about on the BIOS? Anything I can do here?
Any other precautions I should take.

In mid Jan 2013 we stayed at Grand Fresa Hotel in Akasaka Tokyo.
We were there for 6 days and had a standard double room plus a triple room for our three children. As you would expect of Japanese hotels, the rooms are small by western standards but as long as you keep your stuff tidy they are plenty big enough. The rooms we had were western style and the beds were very comfortable. My 18 year old son found the bed a bit short for him but he is 6 feet tall. Bathrooms were small but practical and everything is very clean.
The rooms appeared to be very quite but too our surprise the whole city was incredibly quite anyway so the rooms don't need any special sound proofing. There are only 3 rooms on each floor of the second building where we were (and we had 2 of them)) so noise from other guests was also not a problem.
The location is great for restaurants. There are more than you could possible need and all in walking distance. If this is your first time in Japan there is an all chicken restaurant across the road called "Yaki Tori" that is a great introduction to the Japanese restaurant routine with one staff member who speaks excellent English and is happy to explain how everything is done.
The hotel's breakfast options looked to be over priced compared to local offerings outside so we didn't use the hotel option for breakfast.
The hotel is almost on top of the C06 subway station so transport is easy. Although you do need to change lines a few times to get to some of the popular tourist sites.
We used Bookings.com to book our rooms and it seemed good value to us although this was our first time in Tokyo so we don't have much to compare it to.
Overall we were very happy with our experience at Grand Fresa Hotel Akasaka.

A sex god many women dream of and few get to experience the ultimate sensational feeling of being taken by man who can bring out her "freak in the sheets" attitude.
Sorry honey, I had to think about a Carter to get where I needed to be. But its the effort that counts. I love you.
If you have been Cartered you know it. If not then you have dreamed about it, and you will know it when it happens.

A strong name and a young name. Carters tend to be dignified determined serious minded individuals with supreme intellect and mental forthright. They are just starting out in this giant world of names they are loving sweet kind caring extremely hilariously natured. They are the rising star that knows the path to success. Gifted at learning and knowing their own way in life. They are respected because they have to be. They were born this way and there is nothing we can do to change them. If you have a Carter in your life wait and see for the mystery is not yet solved. We bask in their wisdom and dominance for we know not. So we ask not. They are extremely complex and modern definitions for them are not yet sufficient. Carters are to be respected for their presence in the universe and contribution to physical reality is immense. Carters have all of the good qualities of men and some of the bad ones. They will shift their way through life in full motion and never stop going. There is no stopping a Carter. It is not a bad thing, it is just in his nature. Carter must have a good heart for he is a beast of man. Carter will prevail
Person Me- Carter is my son
Person Me- I must not forsake him
Carter is an old English name. Usually meant for a person who carried a cart. Carter is usually a last name. In some cases a middle name. Now it is a first name. Carter can be the name of a girl or a boy. In either case they are lovable creatures.

He can really carter-ize her in bed.
by foxeslady February 09, 2010
Most of the time your not sure what he is thinking. He can be super sweet and attentive and then all the sudden he's liking every slutty girl on Facebooks picture. Everyone you know thinks he's an ass. But, you believe his is misunderstood. He's not really sure what he wants and kind of makes everyone around him feel the same way. But, regardless he has great taste in music and has very cute features. He is very driven and dedicated to everything he does and participates on. He also can be the only person on your mind if he says the right thing. He is a typical boy.
What is making you smile like that? Oh nothing just Carter.

Switching Power Supply Circuits for Audio Amplifiers
Switch Mode Power Supply circuits can greatly reduce the size, weight and cost of high current, high voltage supply rails in audio power amplifiers. But since many switching regulators are made to function in the 20 to 50kHz region, they have the possibility of putting switching noise, harmonics and/or intermodulation products into the audio frequency signal path. To examine this hypothesis, a Switch Mode Power was constructed using a popular control IC and applied to an amplifier of known quality. Measurements on the output line of the amplifier revealed only a small number of harmonics, only minimally related to the switching frequency of the power suppply. These were approximately 70dB below a 1 watt reference level, and well outside the audio frequency range.

The Warriors not only have to bounce back from a first defeat for three months, they must do so without their talismanic full-back, who has scored 23 tries in Super League so far this season but sits out Friday's game with a knee injury sustained in Monday's 22-12 loss to Warrington.
Lewis Tierney, the 18-year-old son of former dual-code international Jason Robinson, will step into Tomkins' shoes for his home debut with a ringing endorsement from Powell. "Obviously Tomkins is a key player for them but, from what I've seen of Tierney, he's a pretty good player," Powell said.
"He's got his dad's genes, he's pretty quick. They're a good side whoever they put out. The young players that have come through their systems are exceptional. The mentality they have built up over a number of years means that you never go there thinking it's going to be easier because they've a few players missing.
"We should have learned a lesson when we went to Leeds a few weeks back, that you can't expect anyone is going to do the job for you. It's got to be the things that you do. We've focused on ourselves with the way we play the game and, if we can get that right, we're confident we can challenge any team in the comp."
While Wigan look to build again following the ending of their 13-match winning run, the Tigers go to the DW Stadium on a high after their thrilling 30-28 win over Hull last Friday.
"We're feeling confident about ourselves," Powell added. "Over the last four weeks, we've had two wins and a draw, so we're going to go after the game and really look to challenge everything that Wigan do. We're going to enjoy ourselves and get stuck into the game."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane is relieved to be back at home after playing six consecutive matches "on the road".
"It will be good to be back at the DW Stadium in front of our home fans," he said. "I am glad Castleford are hitting some good form. It will make it a tough game for us. I see it more as a mental challenge for us."
Huddersfield seek to keep the pressure on the Warriors when they look to complete the double over fifth-placed Catalan Dragons at the John Smith's Stadium. Friday's other fixture, between St Helens and Hull KR, is a battle between two teams running into form as they seek to cement a place in the top eight.

Re: How Will Paying Off CC vs. Installmen
t Loans Affect Score?
Generally, paying off credit cards will improve score more. I would need to know if any of your loans are Consumer Finance or just personal, auto ect because personal and auto, student... loans are not weighted very heavy to bring your score down.
If we never set higher goals we would never get as far.

This anal extravaganza opens with Cal Jammer calling Ashley Nicole and trying to smooth talk her into offering her cheeks to the penis god. "They do it everywhere – go ahead, ask them," says Cal, that silver-tongued devil.
The "they" are Rick Savage and Christy Knights. It's the "in thing," Cal continues to argue, Rene Morgan and Tom Byron exemplify how "in" it is.
Nicole, of course, eneds a bit more prompting which offers an excuse to show Chaz Vincent and Dizzy Blond in a lusty outdoor scene to an accompaniment that sounds like PBS background music for putting up drywall in an episode of This Old House Nicole finally relents. Well, wouldn't you?

Kansas is the consensus No. 1 team in the country.
No individual player, though, can claim such favorite status.The race for the national player of the year honor is as wide open as it has been this decade.
Sure, even though Texas' Kevin Durant entered his freshman season with plenty of hype, he could hardly be considered a favorite for national player of the year. But picking Durant to be a contender wasn't completely off base, considering Texas coach Rick Barnes was adamant in the preseason that he had the best player in the country. He shocked the Big 12 establishment by bringing Durant with him to the preseason media day, the first time a freshman had come to that event with a head coach. Barnes' instincts proved correct as Durant finished 2007 as the game's most decorated player.The race for the 2010 honor is hard to predict. The Wooden Award is recognized along with the Oscar Robertson, Naismith and AP awards as the most familiar hardware given out in the spring. Each summer, the Wooden Award asks members of the media to contribute a list of 50 potential contenders to get the project started. The Wooden Award doesn't allow incoming freshmen or transfers to be on its preseason list, but they of course must be considered once the season begins and ultimately can be handed the trophy, as was the case with Durant. That's why on my preliminary list, you won't find the names of freshmen like Kentucky's John Wall and Georgia Tech's Derrick Favors. Syracuse's Wesley Johnson, the Iowa State transfer whom Orange coach Jim Boeheim says could be a star, also can't make the initial cut. Here's my best guess at which names could be on the original list of 50 for the Wooden Award:
Solomon Alabi, Florida State
Cole Aldrich, Kansas
Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest
Luke Babbitt, Nevada
Talor Battle, Penn State
Trevor Booker, Clemson
Matt Bouldin, Gonzaga
Craig Brackins, Iowa State
Da'Sean Butler, West Virginia
Patrick Christopher, Cal
Denis Clemente, Kansas State
Sherron Collins, Kansas
Ed Davis, North Carolina
Devan Downey, South Carolina
Jerome Dyson, Connecticut
Osiris Eldridge, Illinois State
Corey Fisher, Villanova
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame
Manny Harris, Michigan
Gordon Hayward, Butler
Robbie Hummel, Purdue
Damion James, Texas
Jerome Jordan, Tulsa
Sylven Landesberg, Virginia
Kalin Lucas, Michigan State
Tasmin Mitchell, LSU
Greg Monroe, Georgetown
E'Twaun Moore, Purdue
Raymar Morgan, Michigan State
A.J. Ogilvy, Vanderbilt
Patrick Patterson, Kentucky
Tajuan Porter, Oregon
Jerome Randle, Cal
Deon Thompson, North Carolina
Scottie Reynolds, Villanova
Larry Sanders, VCU
Rakim Sanders, Boston College
Kyle Singler, Duke
Tyler Smith, Tennessee
Isaiah Thomas, Washington
Klay Thompson, Washington State
Ryan Thompson, Rider
Evan Turner, Ohio State
Jarvis Varnado, Mississippi State
Greivis Vasquez, Maryland
Deonta Vaughn, Cincinnati
Michael Washington, Arkansas
Willie Warren, Oklahoma
Terrico White, Ole Miss
Nic Wise, Arizona
A case can be made for countless others, like UTEP's Randy Culpepper or Dayton's Chris Wright.What we want you to do is give us a flavor for who you think might become the early favorite before the first practice tips off on Oct. 16.
We released a poll today highlighting who I think are the main contenders for national player of the year. But for the purposes of the poll, let's break from the Wooden rulebook and add in Wall because he'll likely be in the mix come February and March.1. Cole Aldrich, Kansas -- Aldrich has a chance to be a dominant big man on the top team.
2. Craig Brackins, Iowa State -- The Big 12's most potent scorer could keep quite a run going of player of the year candidates from this conference after a three-year stretch of Durant, Michael Beasley and Blake Griffin.
3. Sherron Collins, Kansas -- Collins has the breakout scoring ability to be a title favorite.
4. Luke Harangody, Notre Dame -- Harangody is the favorite for Big East Player of the Year and if he carries the Irish back to the tournament he could be in position to win the award.
5. Robbie Hummel, Purdue -- Hummel is the scrappy player who will do anything for a win. He won't have stunning stats but he'll be involved in nearly every big play. If Purdue were to unseat Michigan State for the Big Ten title, then he would have to be considered.6. Kalin Lucas, Michigan State -- The Spartans are now Lucas' team and if he can dominate the ball, he might sprint out ahead of the competition.
7. Greg Monroe, Georgetown -- Monroe is arguably the top big man in the country on a team that could be a surprising Big East title champ.
8. Patrick Patterson, Kentucky -- Patterson withdrew from the draft and is poised for a powerful season on the most-watched team in the country.9. Scottie Reynolds, Villanova -- Reynolds made the shot of the NCAA tournament with a layup against Pitt. If he leads the Wildcats to the Big East title, he'll be in play. 10. Kyle Singler, Duke -- Singler enters the season as the favorite for ACC Player of the Year. Win that award and you're usually in play for the national honor. 11. Deon Thompson, North Carolina -- Thompson hasn't been in the position to be the top option, but he could blossom on a sneaky team that might make another deep run in the NCAA tournament.
12. Evan Turner, Ohio State -- Turner could be a bust-out scorer for a Buckeyes' team that is primed for a deep run in March. If Turner can make the Buckeyes stand out even more, then he's got a shot to receive plenty of accolades.
13. Greivis Vasquez, Maryland -- Vasquez is a lightning rod for the Terps. He's either sensational or a bit erratic. When he's on, and if he were to lead the Terps to the top of the ACC, he'll be in the conversation for the honor.
14. John Wall, Kentucky -- The top freshman has a shot to pull a Durant and be the POY as well as a top-two pick in next year's NBA draft.
15. Willie Warren, Oklahoma -- Warren has reportedly had a sensational summer and he seems ready to assume the leadership of the Sooners after two years of the spotlight being on Griffin.
Why isn't Wake Forest's Al-Farouq Aminu or Georgia Tech's Derrick Favors or Mississippi State's Jarvis Varnado on this list? All are legit contenders. Aminu hasn't had the standout personality to take over a team yet, Favors is still a frosh and Varnado's offensive stats might not measure up to his defensive stats. I could go on with reasons for why someone else might not make the cut and we are open to plenty of changes. This will be a fluid race throughout the season. We'll check back after the Daily Word returns on Aug. 24 to view the results.

5 Things Katherine Learned as Miss Teen USA 2015
Meet Katherine Haik. She's Miss Teen USA 2015!
Here are the five most important things she learned during her reign.
1. Time Management
If being Miss Teen USA 2015 wasn't time consuming enough, Katherine also had to go to high school and balance her extra curricular activities. She's perfected the work life balance like a pro.
2. Doing Hair and Makeup in a Hurry
When you are Miss Teen USA, you have your days planned out to the minute. Applying some lipstick on the go is always a good skill to have.
3. Interviewing and Public Speaking
Before winning the crown, Katherine was not a fan of doing interviews or speaking to crowds. After practice and determination, she is now confident and passionate about public speaking.
4. Traveling
After a year of traveling, navigating those busy airports is no problem at all for this jet-setter!
5. Age is only a Number
The biggest takeaway for Katherine is spreading the message that being confident does not come at a certain age. She overcame the odds of winning Miss Teen USA at just 15 years old and she believes that you should never put yourself down just for being young.
We can't wait to see what's next for Katherine!
Watch Miss Teen USA 2016 right here on Miss U at 8pm ET on Saturday July 30th.

Thanks to the Freedom Of Information Act, the FBI has released their file on one Russell Tyrone Jones, known to most as The Ol' Dirty Bastard. This document is chock full of goodies, some of it true, some of it assumption, linking to Wu-Tang Clan to organized crime and gang activity. You can read the entire document for yourself here – or check a breakdown of it's juiciest bits courtesy of The Daily Beast.
Yeah, it probably was not a great idea for Dirty to mention on MTV that he was on welfare while being signed to Loud.

Nevermore: Happy, Timid and Brave by PhantomhiveeArcWatch
©2013-2016 PhantomhiveeArc
I love this episode!
pink one
Braves My favorite
I wanna glomp all three of them.
I like Happy and Timid the best.
talk about being beside yourself
Awww Happy is so adorable!!!!
AWESOME!!! Do you have any with red, purple, yellow, brown, and of course, BLUE the REAL RAVEN, or all of them in one picture?
Timid is just terrified. Love you Timid! You're my favorite of Raven's emotions!
Cod I love grey Raven
There's a new episode of Teen Titans Go coming out called "Colors of Raven" where Raven splits into 5 different clones with different personalities and another one where called "Matched" where Beast Boy tries to date Raven. Anyway your artwork is wonderful, look forward to seeing the other emotions.
Nice. I particularly wish Bravery had gotten more characterization ... she had the makings of such a lovely facet.
Nevermore was an absolutely brilliant episode.
They remind me of another amethyst-haired beauty.

Contrary to the popular "tapering" term being thrown about of late (including by himself), St. Louis Fed chief Jim Bullard says the Fed could increase the size of its asset purchases if inflation softens further. "I'm very willing to defend the inflation target from the low side."
Comments (9)
yep, bought the PM's this morning. This was orchestrated.
Bullard read but never understood Minsky. You get to his position by reading everybody, understanding nobody, temporizing, dropping names, being a bit taller than average, having good grades, knowing the right people. He's fully hedged and could care less about where the economy goes, professional demonstrations of empathy aside.

Using PHP, I'd like to get the total memory available to the system (not just the free or used memory).
On Linux it's quite straight forward. You can do:
$memory = fopen('/proc/meminfo');
and then parse the file.
Is anyone aware of an equivalent method for Windows? I'm open to any suggestions.
Edit: We have a solution (but StackOverflow won't let me answer my own question):
exec( 'systeminfo', $output );
foreach ( $output as $value ) {
if ( preg_match( '|Total Physical Memory\:([^$]+)|', $value, $m ) ) {
$memory = trim( $m[1] );
Not the most elegant solution, and it's very slow, but it suits my need.

A 14-minute trailer for the film posted on YouTube sparked violence in the Middle East, including an attack in Libya in which a U.S. ambassador was killed. Nakoula, a Coptic Christian and American citizen who served federal prison time for check fraud, told The Associated Press in a short interview last week that he was involved in management and logistics for the anti-Islamic film. Federal officials, however, told the AP they have concluded he was behind the movie.
Furor over the film has been widespread. Bahrain protesters used Twitter to organize demonstrations that included burning American flags in the nation that hosts the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. Pakistan's conservative Islamist parties sent out text messages, mosque announcements and made phone calls to bring out protest crowds, including about 1,000 people in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Sunday and hundreds who rushed the U.S. consulate in Karachi, sparking clashes with police in which one demonstrator was killed.
"Yes, we understand the First Amendment and all of this stuff," wrote Khalid Amayreh, a prominent Islamist commentator and blogger in Hebron on the West Bank. "But you must also understand that the Prophet (for us) is a million times more sacred than the American Constitution."
In America, the government can't even order that the video be removed from YouTube. All it can do is ask. And so far, parent company Google has declined, saying the video was within its guidelines for content. The company did restrict access to the video in certain countries, including Egypt, Libya and Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.
"This can be a challenge because what's OK in one country can be offensive elsewhere," the company said in a statement.
That's precisely the point about the First Amendment, Armour said.
"The reason it is a constitutionally protected interest is precisely because it may prove unpopular," he said. "Words and images don't just convey information, they are attached to consequences. That's when we really have to ask ourselves, 'What price are we willing to pay for that First Amendment interest?' And these are the times that really test our convictions."
Repressing Nakoula's right to make the video would set the U.S. on a slippery slope that might eventually lead to censorship of such shows such as "South Park," which often pokes fun at Jesus Christ, and other religious parodies that are "woven into the American way," said Armour.
In 1975, former CIA agent Philip Agee published a book detailing agency operations and disclosing the names of a number of CIA agents working undercover overseas, Rosenthal said. Even in that instance, the U.S. government didn't press criminal charges but instead revoked Agee's passport and sued him for the book's profits.
"It's not clear that there is, on the books today, a law that makes what (Nakoula) did a crime," Rosenthal said. "This is an extremely difficult problem."
Indeed, federal officials have said they are looking at Nakoula only in the context of whether he violated his probation for the fraud conviction. Under terms of his sentence, he was banned from using computers or the Internet as part of his sentence.
The probation issue "gives the government a relatively low visibility way of prosecuting him but not technically for what he said and how inflammatory it was," Armour said. "It may be a way of splitting the baby."

Honestly, I really cant tell the difference when I use either.
I usually use "Gun Scrubber" for cleaning my bores.
Although, l after shooting any of my guns, I clean them to the point where its just as clean as when I bought the gun new. Many people tell me that's overkill, but I like it to be SUPER CLEAN!
If you are using enough bore brush strokes and mopping with patches, I really dont see how you would really need a special copper solvent.
Of course everyone's experience is different, but I just gave you mine.

We work in a capricious business. The first bid is usually just the start of the discussion to land a job. We believe that you should have the freedom to iterate your bids—two days on location vs shooting in studio, etc.—without losing track of where you started. As you negotiate, BlinkBid's revision feature lets you easily create new versions of your bid without losing your old ones.
Here's the conundrum. Your bid has been approved and the job has been awarded. Now the client wants an invoice for the advance. The thing is that you can't generate an invoice until you're done with production. We've got you covered. Generate an advance invoice based on the estimate. Simply enter a number and let BlinkBid do the rest. Once generated BlinkBid keeps track of up to two advances and sends them over to the invoice as paid items when your job is ready to bill.
Some of the best productions in the visual arts are the result of a collaborative effort. Whether you're working with an agent, consultant, producer, or all three, BlinkBid's robust, realtime job sharing feature allows your fellow BlinkBid users to help you bid, and produce your jobs. Simply enter their email address and you're connected.
Also, don't forget your friends. Sometimes you just need another set of eyes on your bid to help clear the cruft. With BlinkBid it's easy and flawless.
Well-run productions are profitable productions. BlinkBid's production feature is the first of its kind in the world. Track the budget of each line item by adding receipts as they come in. If you don't have a receipt in hand, but you know it's coming—like an invoice from a crew member—mark it as anticipated. We'll color and mark the receipt so you'll always know which invoices you have to chase down.
Have an item that went over budget? BlinkBid's exclusive adjustment feature lets you appropriate money from a line item with a surplus to keep your production balanced. Add overage tracking and an easy wrap feature and you've just cut your production organization time in half.
BlinkBid Online is responsive. View job statuses from any mobile device, anytime. It's an awesome feature to check in and see how bidding and production are progressing. Or, if you're in a meeting with a client and you need to show them an invoice, you can do it instantly with BlinkBid Online.
From its inception eight years ago BlinkBid was designed to empower creative professionals with a tool to help make them business savvy without the complexity that would take them away from being creative. BlinkBid Online takes that mandate to the cloud so you can access, collaborate, bid, produce, and invoice from any computer, anywhere in the world.
Welcome to the future of business software for creative professionals, welcome to BlinkBid Online.

For standard Oreo cookies, how many would be a kezayis by volume? I have heard maybe 2.5 or maybe 3.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
According to the site projectsbyjen.org, the dimensions of an Oreo are 1.75 inches in width, and .314 inches in height. Since there's, surprisingly, not a lot of easy to find info on Oreo dimensions, let's go with this. A k'zayis (according to berachot.org, quoting Rav Bodner's "Halachos of K'zayis") is 28.8 cm³ (the most stringent view (I think), equal to half the volume of an egg.)
Math time!
So! Approximately 2.3 cookies in a k'zayis, though because of empty space under the ridge, and the grooves in the cookie's design, maybe move it a little closer to 3.
Looks like you heard right. :)

I'm fairly new to wordpress, and I'm using it for a school project. In this said project, we're supposed to create a marketplace. Where users can put up items for sale, or for trade. When an item is put up for sale, or for trade, a row in a database is created.
Let's call this database "saleadverts". This database have the columns title, content, image, user_id etcetc. All the stuff that a post like that would need.
My question, though, is this;
It's really easy to edit this table from phpmyadmin, or any other SQL-management tool. Are there any easy way to have a similar type of menu inside the wordpress admin dashboard? So that when the "customer" recieves the webpage, he can edit the database table easily himself, without having to know SQL.
I've been looking at the "edit any table"-plugin, but that doesn't allow creation of new rows, and there's also no possibility of printing the entire table.
Does anyone know any plugins, or easy ways to solve my issue?

"You know i have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life," said Rush Limbaugh on his radio show Friday. "So I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication."
Limbaugh made the announcement during his nationally syndicated radio program.
"Immediately following this broadcast, I am checking myself into a treatment center for the next 30 days to once and for all break the hold this highly addictive medication has on me," said Limbaugh.
Limbaugh admitted he first started taking painkillers several years ago after undergoing spinal surgery.
He added that he's not trying to portray himself as a victim, and took what he called "full responsibility" for his drug problem.
Limbaugh declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation by law enforcement officials in Florida.
This revelation came just over a week after Limbaugh quit his job as football commentator for ESPN. He drew fire for saying that the sports media supported NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb because it wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.
At about the same time, the national enquirer began reporting allegations of drug abuse involving painkillers. The tabloid reported it had interviewed Limbaugh's former maid, who claimed she obtained the drugs for him.
Limbaugh said he's checking in to a treatment center for the next month to break himself of the addiction. He said he has checked into medical facilities twice before.

From the Inside Flap
The black experience in America naturally gives rise to thinking of today's black experience in terms of racism and oppression. But the most difficult problems black Americans face, particularly those who are poor, cannot adequately be explained bycurrent racial discrimination.In Race and Economics, Walter Williams argues that many problems are a result of policies, regulations, and restrictions emanating from federal, state, and local governments. It is not free markets and the profit motive that have reduced opportunities, the author asserts; instead, it is the power of vested interest groups, as a means to greater wealth, to use the coercive powers of government to stifle market competition.
Williams debunks many common labor market myths and reveals how the minimum- wage law has imposed incalculable harm on the most disadvantaged members of our society. He explains that the real problem is people are not so much underpaid as underskilled and that the real task is to help unskilled people become skilled. The author also reveals how licensing and regulation reduce economic opportunities for people, especially those who might be described as discriminated against and having little political clout. Using the example of the trucking industry before and after deregulation, he illustrates how government regulation closes entry and reinforces economic handicaps, whereas deregulation not only has helped minorities enter an industry in greater numbers, but also has benefited consumers.
People will not engage in activities, including racial discrimination, says Williams, if the cost is too high. In markets, because transactions are mostly an individual affair, it is unnecessary to win the approval or permission of others; the costs and benefits are a private matter. But in the political arena, each citizen has only one vote, meaning that, unlike the free market, a minority cannot register the intensity of his preference. Further, increased concentration of political power at the national level handicaps minorities in the sense that their votes become diluted. The author ultimately shows that free-market allocation, not political allocation, is what is truly in the best interests of minorities in America.

Great for doxie lovers!
The dog is not too gigantic & is perfect for my porch roof. He has little weights in his feet which keeps him standing nicely upright. His ears do not inflate but I think they'll be cuter flapping in the wind-just like my dachshund when he's running. When I put it away it was easy to deflate by squeezing the air out as I rolled it up. It fit back into the box super easy.
As soon as it arrived we had to open it to test it and it is so cute and we cant wait to set it up this year. This is going to be one of the hottest inflatables this year. Great Price also !!!
A family member saw this on display in the store and sent me a picture of it becaue it had my name written all over it. I love doxies and I love Christmas decorations....doesn't get any better than this guy! Plus the price is really nice! I went on-line the next day and ordered it to be picked up in the store (SUPER easy way to shop!!). I can't wait till it's time to decorate. Thanks Wal-mart for a great price and for super easy shopping via your website.
This was so cute in the store. I haven't inflated yet since it is too early for Christmas. Had quite a time finding it at local stores, but worth the hassle and drive to get it. I even sent one to my best friend in California who is also a doxie mom! Rare to find something so cute and affordable.
I have not put it out yet because it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but my family and friends have seen it on display at our local Wal Marts. I ordered it and picked it up at the store the next day. Can't wait to set it up....ty Walmart for a great transaction!
I went to several Walmarts and they all were sold out. I just kept going to walmart.com till I finally got a hit on where one was... Very happy with this inflatable... Highly recommend...
LOVE HIM!!! He looks so great out front! I love that i saved even more $$$ by ordering them through bigcrumbs! Try it, its FREE: http://home.bigcrumbs.com/iluv2save
Start saving today!
We have a dashhund so it fits right in.
Kids love it, everyone loves it.
fun decoration for the holiday

WACO (November 5, 2013) One man was taken to a local hospital Tuesday evening after the SUV he was driving crashed into a median wall at around 7 p.m. along Interstate 35 near South 18th Street in Waco.
Police said they didn't believe the driver was injured in the collision, but said they think he may have had a medical condition that caused him to lose control of his Cadillac Escalade.
One officer said he thinks the Cadillac struck the median wall as far south as Valley Mills Drive and skidded along the concrete barrier until it finally stopped at 18th St.
The victim was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center.
Traffic was restricted to one lane northbound near the 18th Street overpass while crews cleared debris and the SUV from the highway.

Gore Vidal dies: Cultural icon made his mark on Broadway
Our take: The entertainment world lost a cultural icon, Gore Vidal who passed away Tuesday at 86 years old. He was involved in not only acting and screenwriter, but he was also a playwright and novelist.
Vidal's career as a playwright is notable primarily for his satire "The Best Man." The play, which depicts the machinations behind a fictional presidential convention, was revived last season on Broadway, with a cast that included James Earl Jones, Candice Bergen and John Larroquette. The production, at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York, is set to run through September.
In many ways, "The Best Man" is emblematic of Vidal himself — funny, scathing and rooted in a jaundiced view of the American political system. First performed on Broadway in 1960, the play was also revived in 2000, another presidential election year.

Elgato Avea Flare is a wirelessly charged 8-hour mood lamp
This week the folks at Elgato have revealed a torch - a medium-sized lamp that shines light in all directions and stays powered up wirelessly for 8-hours at a time. This lamp also connects to your smartphone, allowing you to change its color with Elgato's own unique app. This (along with the Avea Bulb and Eve, revealed earlier this year) ushers in a new sort of age for Elgato (in the public's eye, anyway) where they go from video processing hardware and software to a much wider collection of app-powered lifestyle accessories.

I have a client that got a notice today that they are forbidden from their own website. I am getting their IP right now to test it, but this is concerning.
What are the chances of blocking the wrong country?
I have a client that got a notice today that they are forbidden from their own website. I am getting their IP right now to test it, but this is concerning.
What are the chances of blocking the wrong country?
This IP is being blocked. 188.8.131.52 IP search tool does identify it as Canada, but it is blocked. hmm
188.8.131.52 CA Toronto,
North America 43.6667,
-79.4167 Bell Canada Bell Canada bell.ca
It is indeed registered to Canada. So I assume Canada was blocked from either the backend or the frontend or both.
Or perhaps an old database was used where this IP address was assigned to a different country.
I checked it with the tool and it came up Canada but was blocked. So I think you have a bug. I double checked the blocked Countries -- Russia, China, Romania for admin and front.
If I use the search tool and it does identifies as Canada, then that is the DB it is using for blocking I assume. It wouldn't be searching another DB then block using something else?
If that is the case then you definitely have a problem.
Are their any known conflicts with caching or cloudflare?
If your client uses caching that could as well be the problem yes.
The plugin tries it best to stop caching software from caching the denied message however if the caching software is configured to ignore or overwrite the caching headers the plugin sends a legitimate user may receive the cached result from a previous user that received the denied message.
I would recommend against using the plugin for blocking users from the frontend in combination with caching unless you fully understand the caching software. Using the plugin in combination with blocking the backend should not be a problem as caching should not be used for the backend.
If you use the IP check from within the plugin it should also indicate if the user is blocked from either frontend or backend as well. For instance:
IP Adress 220.127.116.11 belongs to Canada.
This country is not permitted to visit the backend of this website.
I'll assume this problem was caused in combination with a caching solution?
A lot of WP sites use caching. I suggest you find a way to prevent the blocked messages from being cached.
The plugin is already as compatible with caching as it can be. If caching software chooses to ignore or is configured to override the do not cache headers the plugin sends there is nothing I could do more.
Caching software should either respect the do not cache headers (as pages can also contain personal information that should not be cached) or have an administrator that knows what it is doing when it chooses to overrule (some) do not cache headers and cache anyway.

Muncie, IN
AMC's The Walking Dead is a violent series. If you need proof of that, look no further than Stargate Studios' new visual-effects sizzle reel, which shows how the VFX company made some of Season 3's many, many, many deaths — both zombie and human — look so real.
It's pretty impressive, but we've known for a long time that Greg Nicotero's make-up effects team and the folks at Stargate are amazing at what they do. But it's shots like Tyreese, Sasha and their group walking into the Prison for the first time that are truly incredible, because the majority of that scene is CGI. The same goes for the helicopter crash early on in Season 3, which for the most part wasn't real.
The Walking Dead wouldn't work quite as well if its zombies and zombie kills weren't completely convincing, so we give Stargate props for what they do. The hit AMC series just finished airing its third season, and Season 4 is already being prepped. David Morrissey, Chad L. Coleman, Sonequa Martin-Green and Emily Kinney have all been upgraded to series regulars, while Melissa Ponzio has joined in a recurring role.
any relation to you know…O'neil, Carter, Jackson, and Teal'c?
Thats the first thing I thought of.

I need to copy about 2 terabytes of media files from one hard disk to another (both external, USB 2). While doing a test run, I noticed the speed was between 20 to 22 MB per second (without using any utilities.) Is this acceptable speed? Will file copy utilities make big difference? Pls suggest some freely available tools/utilities to copy files.

I spent a wk., here, with my sister. (we are both "young" 50's). Basically, we knew what to expect, ..but, hoped to maybe, find, more "single" people. Didn't happen. Lots of couple's (all ages), newlyweds, and, few kids. Our beach front room had it's ups and downs. We were too close to the bar/pool...that we never had "quiet", until 11:30pm. Someone?? even stole my bathing suit bottoms off my patio. (it was clipped on a drying line) . Our room (possible section) ran out of water, one night (12am to 3am)..the night I was "sick"!!!!! Yuck. No one at the front desk had any explanation, of course. I would have loved a small broom in the room, to sweep up the sand, we kept dragging in on our feet. Otherwise, the beds were amazingly comfy!!!! The ac and ceiling fan were good, and, being so close to the main area...we could easily run back and forth. (I'd be happier running further!!) We really enjoyed the choice of restaurants, great food at all, ...but, we prefered the Red Parrot at the Divi, for the island ambience overlooking the beach/ocean. We loved eating outside, there. We were told the "outside" is mostly for smokers, and, they moved us to another table one night, when the smoke blew our way. (we are non-smokers)...and, it amazes me that people still eat and smoke. We took the bus into the high rise area, 3 evenings, just to walk around, shop, and try to find a dancing place(???). The bus is $1.25 each way to this area. Taxi is $9.00. We decided, maybe, we'd like to be in the high rise area, for the ease of evening acivities; but, we liked the idea of no elevators, at the low rise, and, the all inclusive. We borrowed the bikes, twice...and, joined the bike snorkel tour , which turned into a 20 mile bike ride in a thunderstorm!! (our choice, to continue to the lighthouse in the storm)
We booked a half day tour with Tiger Safari, got rained out in am, but, we changed to the afternoon departure...lots of fun and laughs. Rough ride over terrain in hummer style jeeps!
Our weather was iffy by the end of the week...later to be called Hurricane Sandy !!!!
I felt the ladies at the reservation desk were fabulous, and, most of the waiters at the restaurants, and the bartenders. The main desk, and, kayak people need a pep talk.
(we inadvertently had to stay an extra night in Aruba, due to our planes engine problem, and, were "put up" at the Renaissance. We decided we were delighted with our Tamarijn choice, after this night.)

Starting Over Solo
In January, David Sullivan was let go from an insurance company. Fourteen days later he started working again -- for himself.
Mr. Sullivan says he launched a consulting company, rather than a job search, because he didn't expect to find a new employer given his age, 63, and the recession. But before becoming unemployed, he had never anticipated launching a business out of his Norwood, Mass., home.
"I always thought I'd be working for somebody else until I retired," says Mr. Sullivan, who has one client so far -- a neighbor he's advising for free to get a referral under his belt. "I'm doing this because I have to."
No Other Choice
Mr. Sullivan is an accidental entrepreneur. And he's not alone.
Roughly 7% of workers in the U.S. today are self-employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And many say they landed in this position due to an unexpected financial hardship such as a job loss or salary reduction. They're now learning to make ends meet without a steady paycheck, employer-subsidized health benefits and other perks that come with working for someone else.
In this column, we'll look at some of their stories and what others can learn from their setbacks and successes.
Gina Cozza was laid off in February 2009 from an office-manager job. Afterward, she was only able to find part-time work near her Spokane, Wash., home.
But being geographically limited, it turned out, is what Ms. Cozza says inspired her to try her hand at a virtual-assistant business.
Today, she has clients in Florida, California, Colorado, Michigan and Seattle that she services remotely. Ms. Cozza says she's earning close to 70% of what she made working full time.
For Jenine Lepera Izzi of New York, losing her sales position at an architecture firm in September 2008 was just the push she needed to pursue her dream of becoming an entrepreneur. "It's scary to give up the benefits and the salary of a full-time job," says Ms. Lepera Izzi.
Still, she says it became clear that because of the bad economy it was an ideal time to launch the sales-training business she'd envisioned. "When budgets get slashed and competition becomes fierce, you really have to rely on your sales skills."
She tapped professional contacts and landed a meeting with the head of the real-estate program at New York University. The school became the first of the six clients she has to date.
A 20% Failure Rate
Of course, starting a business -- and keeping it afloat -- isn't easy. On average, 20% of start-ups fail within their first year, according to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, a nonprofit focused on entrepreneurship.
Jamie Fracaro of Oakland Park, Fla., has been struggling to build an online lingerie business. She created a Web site last year, but wasn't earning enough working odd jobs to promote it. So she set up a store on Etsy.com, hoping to tap into the online marketplace's 4.4 million members. Recently, she became unemployed and is now focusing just on her online venture. But, so far, she hasn't had any sales.
"I would love for my business to take off because right now there aren't many jobs to choose from," Ms. Fracaro says.

Dont see it happening, a real misuse of interactive advertising. It's not jus about using Facebook and Twitter is integrating them to your advertising being part of the network not another ad in the network
Seems like its trying to be Sprint's 'Now Network' campaign. The difference being that the 'real-time' idea reflects what Sprint is about, but it doesn't have anything to do with Wendy's...
It is. It's like the twitter of all Wendy's. Eat at Wendy's and tell what you think. The only issue with this is that they have a filter, so nothing bad will get posted. So you definitely won't see " Thighs getting bigger as we speak" or "Gonna poop this out shortly after I finish it."
it's interesting, but nothing special.
I'm here doing this, but feel I should be there doing that. But to do that, I have to be doing this. Does this make sense or do I have to explain that?

Pumpkin-hued walls adorned with North African artifacts and silk curtains draped from the ceiling surround diners at Shokran Moroccan Restaurant, where wooden chairs or ornate couches provide seating as eaters dig into savory dishes steeped in Moroccan spices. Vegetarian, beef, and chicken appetizers quiet hunger pangs by giving stomachs a wealth of delectable flavors and a stern talking to, and entrees such as couscous, kebabs, and tagine in the form of lamb marrakech entertain taste buds. In addition to handcrafted Moroccan morsels, live music and belly dancing often entrance customers at the BYOB hotspot.

Do you think he tried to come back too fast after that arthroscopic surgery in April?
Mishra: No, I don't know for sure, but he knew what he had -- it sounds like he knew he had an ACL tear and made a conscious decision not to get it done and now he's going to have to do the bigger procedure, which actually in the long run may be better for him.
McCulloch: It's hard to know what he had done [in April]. If he had a meniscus tear and the torn part was removed, then typically we let patients walk on it right away. They're off crutches in a few days, and they can usually return to sports around the six-week mark. So his timing would have been appropriate for that. In his case, it's different because he's had a torn ligament as well, so he may have developed new problems or new injuries in the knee related to that.
Is this an injury that an elite athlete could come all the way back from?
McCulloch: Yes. This is a very common injury in general and in professional sports. There are over 100,000 ACL reconstructions performed per year. The general success rates of patients rating their knee as good to excellent are in the 90th percentile. There are several instances of other professional athletes who have returned to the highest level of competition after this, and given Tiger's demonstrated resolve and focus, I have no doubt that he will return fully.
Mishra: I think, as a fan, that he can come back and that he didn't do anything permanent to make him less stable to have a long career. That will only be known by Tiger and his doctor.
People can come back from an ACL reconstruction and have done that in many, many other sports at elite levels. So I have no doubt that he'll be back at the same level -- which is to win the U.S. Open -- or better.
What does the ACL do?
McCulloch: The ACL is the anterior cruciate ligament. It's a ligament that goes between the thigh bone and leg bone in the knee. The role of the ACL is to help to control abnormal motion at the knee. When the ACL is torn, the leg has a tendency to slip forward and to rotate in an abnormal fashion, which can give people a sense of instability, as if their knee will buckle on them.
At the time of an ACL injury, the leg slips forward and because of that, you can sustain a tear of the meniscus, which is a protective cartilage that sits between bones. Approximately 40% to 50% of patients will sustain a meniscus tear at the time of the ACL injury.

The 24 inch bar clamps are the basis for my shop creations.I have seen many reviews complaining of the flex in the bar and the delicacy of the twist handle.My response is that the flex is completely unimportant. While testing them in the store I was able to bend the bar over my leg an uncomfortable amount, HOWEVER if used properly and with the proper number of clamps this is no issue at all in realistic use. If you are having trouble with this I would suggest you address your quality of joinery!The handles I have seen reviews of breaking off if tightened too much. I tested these in the store. I tightened them to an extent far beyond what I would expect to in the shop. They did not break.If they break on you, I would again suggest you address the quality of your joinery work. Brute force of clamping is NO substitute for proper joinery.These clamps are quite adequate for quality work.They are certainly not the highest quality, but certainly adequate and for the price they are unbeatable.Learn proper wood work and buy high quality chisels and measuring devices. Save your money on clamps. These will do you nicely.

The price is obviously appealing but I wouldn't buy these again. As a woodworker, I used these as I glued up a display cabinet. I was tuning the handle to add pressure and strangely, it just kept turning but it didn't seem to be getting much tighter. Turns out that backbone (main rod) of it was bending b/c it wasn't strong enough. I could see this not being as big a problem with the shorter ones. Overall, it will hold stuff together, but I wouldn't expect a lot of clamping pressure.
