NO WAY!!! That's awesome! Two of my favorite things coming together. I guess this is what normal girls feel like when Target teams up with all those designers, huh?ReplyDelete
I did hear that! And I am way excited. I love Target regardless, so this is super extra frosting!!ReplyDelete
I am sooo very excited for this!!! But I'm also very nervous...mainly because I know everything will sell out in two seconds, and I'm afraid I won't get my hands on any of the goregeousness! ;)ReplyDelete
Which means we better camp out the night before :)Delete
Yes!!!! I've heard about this and I'm pumped!ReplyDelete
I'm counting the days. I'll miss my daily Nate fix, so this will be a good consolation.ReplyDelete
I know I'm pretty heart broken about his show being cancelled but hey at least we'll get to shop his new line!Delete
I love Nate, and those pillows are wonderful =)
Thanks for visiting my blog; I am happy to have found yours!
Thanks Kelly! Love your blog, I'll be stopping by often :)Delete
I heart Nate and have a feeling his stuff is going to sell out faster than Missoni! Guess we better get up early!ReplyDelete
i LOVE nate!! not sure i can wait til october. :o)
thanks for stopping by my blog and for your comment. we will look into replacing the cabinets eventually but for now i may just live with them.
i love discovering fellow va bloggers!! i am IN fredericksburg, so you must be very close to where i live! nice to "meet" you!!
Yay thats so awesome you live near me! Maybe we can get together sometime. Thanks for stopping by :)Delete
I am freakin' counting the DAYS...it's gonna be bigger than christmas 'round these parts! I just adore everything Nate does, but Nate at Target price??? SIGN ME UP!!!ReplyDelete
Seriously?! I didn't know this! I can't wait. I love Nate!ReplyDelete
Very exciting! I love these items - the hammered metal is amazing.ReplyDelete
Oooh I hadn't heard yet! Exciting!ReplyDelete
I need to start saving NOW!ReplyDelete
I am sure his pieces will be timeless and classic, just like his style. I never could get into his show...I know how can I say that??? It was just too basic for me, I loved him to pieces, seems like such a nice sweet guy and genuine. But the content was boring to me...I will for sure be looking forward to his items at Target. I think HSN sells some of his furniture pieces too.ReplyDelete
I was crushed to hear about his show. But I'm ridiculously excited to pick up some of his pieces. Praying there are plenty to go around, otherwise I might have to elbow my way to glory.
Xx. Patience

Explore the USA from New Orleans to San Francisco
Set out eastbound across the USA's great southwest for a sampling of the classic American road trip. Journey from the vibrant jazz and colourful Creole scene of New Orleans through the deserts of New Mexico to the Carlsbad Caverns and Santa Fe's artsy hub. Learn about Anasazi Indian culture in Mesa Verde National Park, be dwarfed by the towering sandstone structures of Monument Valley, live it up in Las Vegas then wander through Death Valley and into the wilds of Yosemite. With a perfect blend of natural wonders and urban treasures, this is the perfect trip for understanding the diversities and contrasts that make up this larger-than-life nation.
- Start
- New Orleans, United States
- Finish
- San Francisco, United States
- Countries
- United States
- Themes
- Explorer
- Code
- Learn about the ancient culture and history of the Anasazi Indians on a visit to Mesa Verde National Park, home to 600 traditional Indian cliff dwellings
- San Antonio is a little piece of Mexico in the USA. Visit the World Heritage-listed Alamo, an 18th-century mission and fortress, and take a stroll along the lively San Antonio River Walk
- The oldest capital in the US, sunny Santa Fe has an ancient history, a contemporary heart and a desert soul. With its adobe architecture and colourful art scene, it's not hard to see why Santa Fe's eccentric locals refer to their home as the 'City Different'
- The Grand Canyon National Park needs no introduction. Unlike most trips, you'll spend two nights in the park so there's a full day to explore properly. See the mighty canyon up close on a variety of hikes or take a helicopter flight
- Towering granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, redwood forests and epic night skies - Yosemite National Park feels like utopia. While other tour groups breeze through in a day, you'll spend two nights in the park, allowing for a full day of hiking and exploring
- For many, Death Valley conjures up images of a flat and barren wasteland. Be surprised by the park's ethereal landscapes of sand dunes, water-sculpted canyons, extinct volcanic craters and, in the spring, fields of wildflowers
- With its 'out-there' culture and wild nightlife, Las Vegas really deserves a decent stay. You'll have a full day and two nights to make the most of this awesome city
- Although the long drives through the desert can be uncomfortable and trying at times, they also have their rewards. Enjoy the spectacular views on your classic American road trip
Day 1 New Orleans
As there's a great deal to do in New Orleans, we recommend arriving a few days early to make the most of this exciting city. If you need help booking extra accommodation, our reservations team will be happy to assist. Otherwise known as the 'Big Easy', New Orleans's eclectic mix of European, Creole and Cajun culture manifests itself in the city's architecture, cuisine and music scene. Take in the gaudy sights and sounds of Bourbon Street, relax in the Garden District and absorb the ambience of the French Quarter. In the evening, perhaps check out a jazz show and dance the night away in the bars along Frenchman Street.
Day 2 Houston
Day 3 San Antonio
Day 4 Carlsbad Caverns National Park
Day 5 Santa Fe
Day 6 Mesa Verde National Park
Day 7 Monument Valley
Day 8 Grand Canyon
Day 9 Grand Canyon National Park
Day 10 Las Vegas
Las Vegas may be the gambling capital of the world, but there's plenty to do if gambling isn't your thing. Hit the shops, feel your stomach drop on a rooftop roller coaster or simply stroll along the Strip, soaking up the glitz and gaudiness. In the evening, perhaps feast on an 'all you can eat' buffet, check out one of the many shows on offer or party the night away in a Vegas nightclub.

Our Best of America's Southwest trips score an average of 5 out of 5 based on 2 reviews in the last year.
Best of America's Southwest , July 2015
Denise Weston
This trip is great if you are looking for a mix of urban and nature. Camping gets you involved with your group. Bring a decent sleeping bag. Summer nights are cold. Be prepared for some long travel days but with a great group the van can be entertainment itself.

I have about 2200 different files in a few different folders, and I need to rename about about 1/3 of them which are in their own subfolder. Those 700 are also in various folders as well.
For example, there might be The top-most folder is Employees, which has a few files in it, then the folder 2002 has a few, 2003 has more files, 2004 etc.
I just need to attach the word "Agreement" before the existing name of each file. So instead of it just being "Joe Schmoe.doc" It would be "Agreement Joe Schmoe.doc" instead.
I've tried googling such scripts, and I can find stuff similar to what I want but it all looks completely foreign to me so I can't understand how I'd modify it to suit my needs.
Oh, and this is for windows server '03.

Yellow soybean paste
|This article does not cite any sources. (November 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Yellow soybean paste
|Literal meaning
|yellow paste
Yellow soybean paste is a fermented paste made from yellow soybeans, salt, and water; wheat flour, though not formerly used, is often used as an additional ingredient in the modern day, and potassium sorbate may also be used as a preservative. Yellow soybean paste is produced in China and is used primarily in Beijing cuisine and other cuisines of northern China.
Despite its name, the paste is not yellow in color; it ranges from light to dark brown, or even black. The name is because it is made from yellow soybeans, called huángdòu (黄豆) in Chinese, although it would seem that the complete name in Chinese should be huángdòu jiàng (黄豆酱; literally "yellow soybean paste"), the word dòu (豆) is generally not used when referring to this paste.
Yellow soybean paste is used most notably in the noodle dish called zhajiang mian, although outside Beijing, sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce is often used as a substitute. In this dish, the yellow soybean paste is fried together with ground pork, then poured over the top of thick wheat flour noodles. Unlike sweet bean sauce, yellow soybean paste is salty rather than sweet.
Yellow soybean paste is widely available in China, as well as in Chinese grocery stores overseas, and comes in plastic packages, bottled or in tins.
Other varieties[edit]
In recent years, a new form of yellow soybean paste, called "dry yellow soybean paste" (干黄酱, pinyin: gān huángjiàng; or 干酱, pinyin: gān jiàng), has been developed, and is widely available in plastic packages. Its texture is drier than that of regular yellow soybean paste (due to its lower water content), allowing for easier transportation and keeping. Dry yellow soybean paste is used in a similar manner as regular yellow soybean paste, but, when using the dry form, water is first added to dilute it, and then it is added to the dish; if it is added directly to a dish, the amount of water added to the dish should be adjusted accordingly.

Excellent Application to Help with my Golf Game
At the time I was considering purchasing this app, there was only one review that was negative and said the application crashed each time they tried to display a video. Well I just took up golf again after a 22 year hiatus and need some help getting my swing back. I figured for $4.99 if it did not work for me, oh well.
So I took the plunge and spent the money, installed the app and ran it. It works fine on my Macbook Pro and my iMac. Both are running OSX 10.8.1. No crashing what-so-ever.
I have to say the videos and the associated audio are excellent and very helpful for both new players and those looking to improve their game.
I did have a bit of trial and error to figure out how to get back to the main menu during the video. So, just click on the screen to bring up the video controls at the bottom. Click the "X" at the top left hand corner, that will take you to the main menu.
If you follow the instructions, I am sure this video will help anyone who plays golf. For $5, in my opinion you cannot beat the deal. Well worth it.
Useless, it crashes whenever you try to play a video.

|This page is an essay, containing the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.
A paid advocate is an editor on Wikipedia on behalf of an organization or individual, such as marketing professionals, public relations, SEO, non-profit advocacy groups and political campaigners. Wikipedia hosts several documents that provide instructions or guidance for paid advocates, such as the COI guideline, COI best practices, and plain and simple COI. The variety of instructions available on Wikipedia represents the different points of view the editorial community has about the subject. Paid advocates are strongly encouraged, but not necessarily required, to avoid directly editing Wikipedia in most circumstances. This essay provides straightforward instructions on how to request corrections, offer contributed content or discuss controversial issues without directly editing the page. Many editors may choose to follow the instructions in this essay, in order to contribute to Wikipedia in a manner that is generally accepted and non-controversial.
Share sources
A paid advocate can be a resource for Wikipedia's volunteer editors by sharing independent sources on the Talk page, answering questions, providing technical expertise and generally making it easier for the volunteer community to improve the page. Immediate implementation shouldn't be asked or expected, but it is an easy way to increase the odds of improvements to the page by volunteers better qualified to be impartial.
Request a factual correction
To request a factual correction, describe the error in detail on the Talk page with {{request edit}} at the top of the request. This will put your request in a queue for review by an impartial editor. Be sure to include an independent source where the fact can be verified.
Flag an issue of overt bias
Controversial issues often require significant time investment from an impartial editor. Avoid writing a re-written version impartial editors will undoubtedly disapprove of, and try to calmly describe in detail where you think the article is bias or incorrect. If no one responds on the Talk page within a few days, post your issue on the conflict of interest noticeboard.
How to create a new article
If the organization, product, individual or topic has been the subject of significant media coverage, but no article exists, you may choose to try to create one. To suggest the article be written, you can follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested articles. To submit a draft article yourself, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Be warned, most paid advocates struggle to meet Wikipedia's content needs and comply with its many policies and guidelines, in particular those for neutrality and balance. Inexperienced editors will struggle with this process. Those that hire a Wikipedia consultant are encouraged to work with ones that respect Wikipedia's rules.
Other content contributions
To make other content suggestions, provide your draft content on the Talk page. If no one responds within a few days, add a {{request edit}} to the top of your comment. Again, be warned, most paid advocates struggle to meet Wikipedia's content needs and comply with its many policies and guidelines, in particular those for neutrality and balance. Inexperienced editors will struggle with this process. Those that hire a Wikipedia consultant are encouraged to work with ones that respect Wikipedia's rules.
We encourage organizations to contribute to Wikipedia in areas where we don't consider them to have a conflict of interest. Contributing images of your executives, products, headquarters, diagrams and archival images is mutually beneficial, but not a conflict of interest. Offering these images under a free license makes it easier for Wikipedians and the internet to use them. We also encourage corporate social responsibility programs that seek to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics the company is involved in.
Consequences of ignoring this guideline[edit]
Editors who choose to ignore this essay may not necessarily violate Wikipedia's policies, but put themselves in a position that often results in blocks, reverts, flags, humiliation in the media and other issues. Wikipedia cannot offer legal or business advice, however professionals should also refer to the ethical standards set by their professional bodies, such as the best practices established by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. Paid advocates are also encouraged to understand potential real-life repercussions of ignoring the advice in this essay. While individual experiences may vary, the community will generally make it difficult for an editor that doesn't respect our rules and processes, while those that respect our autonomy and follow our rules will be more successful at making genuine improvements to Wikipedia.
There are a few basic principles you should know:
- Share: Articles on Wikipedia are community assets supported by a team of anonymous citizen editors. Like any independent news and information source, editorial decisions are made by the site's editors, not by the companies we cover.
- Content: Wikipedia is not a place for thought-leadership, product promotion, or trends, but for factual information (often historical in nature) supported by independent, neutral sources.
- Disclosure: Disclose your identity on your user page and at least once on every Talk page you edit.
- Sources: All the information on Wikipedia comes from independent, neutral sources we feel we can trust to be impartial and factual. This means we can only cover companies and products that have been the subject of significant media coverage and can only include information that can be cited from a book, website, article or other source.
- Your account: Do not create more than one account, share accounts or create a company account. Don't name the account after a product, organization or trademark. Your account should represent one individual person.
- Editing: While Wikipedia's policies don't require you to, the single best way to avoid controversy and other issues is to never directly edit an article. Instead, offer Wikipedia's editorial community contributed content, factual corrections, perspective and other resources.
- Behavior: Remain civil, professional and respectful in every circumstance. Trust the judgement of impartial volunteer editors. Don't get argumentative even if other editors disagree with you.
- Timeline: Generally, Wikipedia works in a timeline of days, weeks or sometimes months or years. Use good judgement on when to escalate your issue and understand how urgent it really is. Remember Wikipedia has large backlogs. Be patient.
- Resources: Keep in mind Wikipedia is not a customer service organization and all our editors are volunteers who merely edit where and how they choose. Some editors may choose to offer substantial help, while others may ignore you or even advise you just not contribute. Cases of blatant defamation may be taken more seriously.
Reading list[edit]
The amount of time a marketing professional should be willing to commit to learning about Wikipedia and its community policies will depend on the depth of their participation. Editors should avoid using the rules to be argumentative about their point of view and trust the judgement of impartial editors in most cases. Many of these rules override one another, require good judgement or have community-accepted interpretations.
Basic: Corrections & sharing sources[edit]
Sharing sources, requesting a factual correction or flagging overt bias is relatively easy to do. These don't require a significant investment to learn Wikipedia's rules, but there are several resources that may be helpful:
- WP:V - Verification policy covers how all the content on Wikipedia is based on what we've read in sources we trust.
- WP:CIVIL - A behavioral policy on being respectful in interactions between editors.
- WP:RS - Reliable Sources covers what sources we trust in which circumstance.
- WP:Five pillars - The Five Pillars explains Wikipedia's goals and the fundamental principles it's based on.
- WP:NOT - To understand what Wikipedia is, it is helpful to understand what it is not.
Advanced: Major content contributions[edit]
Contributing new articles or making substantial content contributions yourself requires a large time investment to do well, because you have to learn the rules that guide Wikipedia's definition of good content. Additionally, you must create neutral content despite your conflict of interest. It's strongly advised you gain experience by editing in areas where you do not have a conflict of interest before taking on the project.
- The plain and simple COI essay is the single best place for paid advocates to get get a crash course in making major content contributions that are compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines
- WP:N - Notability guideline covers the specific criteria for whether a subject deserves an article. WP:CORP has specific criteria for companies and organizations.
- WP:NPOV - A Neutral Point Of View is expected of all editors.
- <insert more>
Generally helpful links[edit]
- WP:HELP - The help page has lots of useful links for new users, regardless of their motivations for being here.
- WP:Help desk and Wikipedia:New contributors' help page - The places to go when you have questions about anything regarding editing here
- WP:USERPAGE - Policy on what is and isn't acceptable to add to your userpage.
- WP:ATA - Arguments To Avoid when discussing articles and deletions in general. It will help you to not waste time using arguments that won't hold water here.
- WP:Guide to appealing blocks - If you are blocked, this explains how to appeal this properly.
- User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you
If you've been blocked[edit]
If you are already blocked, do not log in from a different IP address and continue to edit. This is called sockpuppetry and will pretty much end your career at Wikipedia. Evading a block is not acceptable behavior and is typically discovered and deal with swiftly. You must instead address the reasons you were blocked. Log into your blocked account, and follow the instructions at the block template Ask for help. Be polite. Take the time to learn what you did wrong that led to the block. This will allow you to hopefully return to editing in full compliance of the expected norms of Wikipedia. Many respected editors at Wikipedia have been blocked before, so it isn't an end to a career at Wikipedia, but it does mean that there are problems that need addressing.

Ceyx (sē'ĭks) and Alcyone (ăl-sī'ə-nē)-Ceyx is the king of Thessaly.
-Alcyone is the daughter of Aeolus, King of the Winds.
-The two loved each other devotedly and were never willingly apart.
-Ceyx had to make a long journey across seas and Alcyone is terrified.
-Alcyone begs Ceyx not to go, and if he does, she wants to go with him.
-Ceyx gets a council from the Oracle and decides not to take Alcyone with him.
-The very night he left there was a fierce storm and Ceyx was glad Alcyone did not come with.
-Alcyone prays to Juno, not knowing the boat sank. Juno is touched by her feelings and she talks to the God of Slumber to send Alcyone a dream of what happened to Ceyx.
-The God of Slumber sent his son, Morpheus, to change into the shape of the dead Ceyx to tell her he is dead.
-As soon as she wakes up, Alcyone starts crying and tells him she wants to die soon because he is not with her anymore.
-The next morning, she goes to the shore, where she sees Ceyx's body floating to shore.
-Alcyone jumps over the water, turns into a bird, and flies to her dead husband.
-When she gets to him, his body has disappeared and the gods changed Ceyx into a bird so they can be together forever.
-Their love was unchanged and they were always seen together.
-The End.
This story is connected with the love story of Baucis and Philemon. At the end of both stories, the lovers get to be together forever in a different form. Ceyx and Alcyone were transformed into birds and Baucis and Philemon were transformed into trees. Their love was so strong that the gods felt they needed to be together forever.
This story shows that the Greeks felt that love was undying. Because their love was so strong, when one of them died, the gods felt that they should be together. This means that the greeks must have felt strongly about love and that if two people loved eachother with that much intensity, they should be together forever to keep their love strong.
|The fierce storm that killed Ceyx
|Juno coming down from the sky to answer Alcyone's cry

Hi, I had a website here:
but it says that's unavaible, while this website is in the google cache (so it was online some time ago).
So I joined cpanel and I checked: there's database and there are files, but the site won't show up.
It's not a DNS problem since I can reach this file:
but I can't get WP-admin or other stuff to login.
I downloaded the WP-Config and it seems to be ok. Got any ideas about what could it be? What should I check to get it running again without re-installing it? Thank you in advance.

As the debate rages over 'Obamacare,' here's a look at what the changes will mean.
Who Gets Covered Under Health Reform?
What About Preexisting Conditions?
In the past, many people who have tried to buy their own health insurance on the open market have been dealt disappointment: Based on something in their past medical history, the insurance company declined to cover them.
In some cases, these so-called "preexisting conditions" are chronic diseases that need lifelong care, like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, or asthma.
In other instances, though, preexisting conditions don't seem quite as serious. They can be anything from a past bout of sinusitis to an old sports injury.
People deemed to have a preexisting condition can sometimes buy health insurance, but any doctor's visit related to the condition may not be covered under the plan they are offered.
The ACA blocks insurance companies from denying anyone coverage on the basis of a preexisting condition, and it prevents insurance companies from charging sick people more.
"That goes away in 2014. Everybody's premiums will be the same," says Sara Collins, PhD, vice president for Affordable Health Insurance at the Commonwealth Fund.
In fact, it's already gone away. If you need health insurance, but you've been turned down because of a preexisting condition, the ACA has already established insurance plans that will cover you.
As long as you can prove that an insurance company has denied you coverage, and that you've been uninsured for at least six months, you can apply for coverage through a high-risk pool, which is also called a preexisting condition insurance plan, or PCIP.
The plan premiums vary by age and state. You can find out how much a plan would cost by visiting the federal department of health and human services at HHS.gov. Those plans will be phased out after the law takes effect in 2014.

I purchased my German Shepherd from Landheim. I not only got a beaultiful dog but I also was impressed with how professional and knowledgable the staff was. Anytime I have a question or concern they have always been very accomadating. I strongly recommend Landheim and I am proud to say I own a Landheim German Shepherd. - Annette, April 5, 2011
This important (and FUN) class consists of four lessons and is open to puppies of all breeds eight to sixteen weeks of age. This puppy period is the most critical time in the life of your dog! If proper training and socialization occur now, you will have a happy and obedient dog in the future. During this class, we will allow plenty of time for your puppy to socialize with other puppies and people. Our puppy obstacle course builds self-confidence and promotes bonding. We begin laying a foundation of obedience work using motivational training techniques. We help with "issues" and how to stop unwanted behaviors (i.e. chewing, nipping, jumping, barking). There is always an opening class discussion with topics such as housebreaking, crate training, grooming. We conclude the class with a question and answer period.
Puppy Kindergarten is an ongoing class and is held every Tuesday evening at 6:00pm. The cost is $80.
We require proof that you puppy is current on his/her Distemper Combo and Bordetella vaccine.
Please call us to register your puppy prior to attending.
This course is a MUST for every dog and their owner. Dogs that are obedience trained lead a happier life, and can become a closer member of your family once you have the proper control. This class is also a wonderful idea for past Basic Obedience graduates that may be in need of a tune-up! You will learn all about obedience training for your dog and how you can apply some very simple strategies that have a massive affect on the relationship your dog will have with you and the outside world. Class size will be limited to 14 dog/owner teams which will allow greater personal attention for you and your dog. This 6-week course (one day a week) is open to dogs of all breeds that are 5 months and older. We will focus on teaching your dog to pay attention to you, walk on a leash without pulling, heel, sit, sit-stay, down, down-stay and "come" on command. Time will also be made for questions and specific behavior problems you may be having with your dog. Proof of Rabies, Distemper Combo, and Bordetella vaccinations are required prior to start date.

The Landheim staff realizes some well intentioned owners may have neither time, patience, nor the inclination to train their dog. For these people we provide In-Kennel Training. Your dog is housed on our premises and professionally trained by our internationally recognized trainers. The minimum stay would begin at 5 days (Monday-Friday) for basic obedience training, but may be longer dependent on more advanced goals, the dogs ability to learn, or if the dog has an adverse temperament. Proof of Rabies, Distemper Combo, and Bordetella is required. A private lesson is included at the end of your pet's stay for you to learn how to work with your dog properly, and how to incorporate training into your daily lives.

Please call for more information or to book your reservation.

There are too many threads but I can not find something to start with the WPress. Some body help?
In ready had 2 website and want to using WPress:
im not sure if i have understood your question.
If you want to use wordpress you need to install it.
In most cases your host should be able to help or provide a tool like fantastico that will help you get installed easily.
As rxhost said, your host should be able to provide a tool like Fantastico. Fantastico is an auto-installer, and makes installation quick and easy.
Have a look at these for more information:
Will this help? We're recording a series of YouTube videos on this topic (still in progress) and here's the first video, which shows how to install WordPress on your host using a web software install program called Softaculous.
If your host doesn't offer this installer, ask if they have something similar.
Hopefully your hosting provider have tools like Softaculous or Fantastico. It will help you to install. Or you may look at this link http://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
If the host does not provide install programs is not that hard to install wordpress with new versions 3.0 as there is install program included upload wordpress to location,create database and just put domain name in address bar and you will install program running follow the steps and you can not go wrong and after you will need to learn one day.
There may be time when you have update manually since auto update broke your website.
If you learned how to use ftp and server you will be back on line in no time where as if you did not learn how to use this tools you will have problems.
I find the book "Wrox.WordPress.24.Hour.Trainer" useful

Cheers LTS,
A great read, thanks for sharing.
What did you think of today's performance?
I thought we earn't a point and could have won on another day, we had the lions share of the possession and crucially the better chances.

That was a good read, thanks lts. I was particularly interested in the bit about Dawson - I'm very curious about the situation around our 'surplus to requirements' captain.
Joe, I'd agree the draw was at least fair and we had the possession & chances, BUT we always do against Utd - they're very happy to defend deep and to allow possession, because they're clinical enough on the break, and usually we suffer from that. Usually most of our attempts seem at best speculative, so we'll have 20 half chances to their 3 good ones and lose 2-1. This season we've obviously tightened that; getting 4 points off them is a great haul.
Very pleased with getting the last minute goal, it shows a turnaround from letting them in (the reference to the change in train in the article was interesting too), and they've got to be gutted about that penalty shout!

You have got the basics down correctly. I lived there for 4 years. The NYPD has a serious uniformed and undercover presence thought the city.
Knives with the intent of self-defense are also illegal (I believe any size) however, a small pocket knife for utility purposes is fine. (don't ask me how they determine which).
Beware some of the big tourist attractions have metal detectors and x-ray (Ellis Island...) Don't take OC spray through.
Study the subway map now so you know where you are going. It is honestly quite safe these days. Don't go places you shouldn't be after dark and stay aware and you should be fine. Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions or need directions.

School nurse arraigned for scheme aimed at pain meds
Mary K. Field, 40, of Blake Street, Torrington, was in court Monday for her arraignment and arrested later that day when police said she attempted a similar scheme to get the pain medication from another pharmacy.
Superintendent Cheryl F. Kloczko said Field was put on paid leave Sept. 19 and she is not to have any contact with any students or be on any school property.
Field, a registered nurse licensed with the state Department of Public Health since July 2003, told police she had numerous surgeries recently and was prescribed pain medication. She was "afraid to go without it," she told police, according to a warrant for her arrest.
Field was escorted off school property by school staff in September after staff there realized she tried to call in a bogus prescription to Petricone's Pharmacy to obtain Norco, a controlled drug that includes hydrocodone and acetaminophen, according to the warrant.
That had been Field's second attempt. A day before, she tried to call in the same prescription but the pharmacist believed something wasn't right when Field's name showed up on the caller ID. Field used the name of a co-worker, according to the warrant.
A Petricone's employee asked if she was really the co-worker and Field responded she was and was calling from a friend's home.
At the middle school, Field called in the prescription again and asked the medication be delivered to the middle school. Petricone pharmacists became concerned and called the school to get a hold of the co-worker who said she didn't call in the prescription, according to the warrant.
Field called Petricone's again, asking why the medication hasn't been delivered. At the same time, school staff realized what was happening.
Police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said Field turned herself in to police Oct. 7. She was charged with two counts of criminal impersonation and two counts of criminal attempt to obtain a controlled substance by fraud.
Hours after an Oct. 21 court appearance, police responded to Walgreens on East Main Street after a pharmacist reported Field was attempting to fraudulently obtain a prescription. Whiteley said Field called her friend's doctor and asked to refill a prescription that would be picked up at Walgreen's. The doctor became suspicious because he is no longer seeing that patient and she lives in New York.
Field was arrested at Walgreens and released on $2,500 non-surety bond for a court appearance on Nov. 4.

How does a mobile phone vibrate without any external force? By Newton's law, any body can't move without any external force
That's not true, Newtons's laws do not say that. What's important here is conservation of momentum. Inside the phone, there is an oscillating mass. While the mass inside has a momentum and thus a velocity in one direction, the (friction-free) phone has to have the same momentum in the opposite direction. It "vibrates".
Homework: Get on a skateboard (best kneeling, not standing), take a decent mass with you (e.g. a cobblestone) and move it forth and back in front of your chest. Now, put a large cardboard box over your head (e.g. from a refrigerator) and you have a box that moves back and forth without any external force.
If you want translation instead of oscillation, you have to divide the object, making one part go in one direction and the other in the opposite direction (again, with the same momentum). That's how rockets work, by expelling the reaction products of their fuel at high speed in the opposite direction. Again, without "external" force.
Alternatively, you can just sit in a chair, and punch the air really fast. When your arm moves out, your body moves back, when your arm moves back in, your body moves toward the arm.
At least one mobile phone I've heard about uses an unbalanced spinning weight. As the weight moves in one direction, the phone moves in the other, in accordance with Newton's Third Law of Motion.
I've taken a phone apart to confirm the "imbalanced weight" coming off the shaft of a miniature motor. Which essentially creates a moment arm off-center of the shaft, once the motor begins to turn, this torque (force X distance) lets momentum (mass X velocity) move energy through the body of the motor, to the base of the motor, through the phone, and further dissipated through your body. Hence, felt vibration through your pocket.
It keeps its center of gravity constant. But since there is a rotating eccentric weight inside the body center moves in opposite fashion from the rotating weight making the phone appear to vibrate.
This is similar to recoil from a gun, or if you are on skates and try to spin a weight in the end of a rope it will make you skate back and forth. It would be fun to watch though!
Wow...I have read the answers of some 5 years ago and feeling surprised that nobody knows physics here!
Newton says: sum of internal forces is always zero PROVIDED THAT there is no chemical/biological conversion(of energy). That means the energy of the system shall remain same also.
In case of a vibrating phone, the stored electrical energy converts into kinetic energy and causes a phone to vibrate. Ofcourse, after vibrating the energy stored decreases.
Similarly, a car moves by converting the stored chemical energy of the fuel into heat and then into mechanical energy.
Without any external force, the work is done by wasting internal energy(not wasting, but converting energy into other form)
Hope it helps.

House sets budget debate rule: Undoing school cuts off limits
Updated at 5:23 p.m.: Correction: The $685 million is how much available state revenue is left unspent by the House budget panel's proposed budget, not how much that budget would come in under a spending cap.
Original post at 4:04 p.m.:The House has adopted a rule governing next week's floor debate of the state budget that frustrates Democrats who want to undo last session's education cuts, but also some tea party Republicans.
The vote on the so-called calendar rule was 133-11. Among those voting no were nine Democrats, including Reps. Lon Burnam of Fort Worth, Trey Martinez Fischer of San Antonio, Armando Walle of Houston and Abel Herrero of Corpus Christi; and conservative Republicans David Simpson of Longview and Van Taylor of Plano.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said the two-year, $193.8 billion budget that will be on the floor next week spends all but $685 million of funds subject to a state constitutional spending limit.
Last session, lawmakers cut funding of public schools by $5.3 billion.
The House's emerging budget would undo $2 billion of the cuts, and Pitts has said he'll recommend immediately giving school districts an additional $500 million in a separate, emergency spending bill to augment the current budget to pay for things such as the 2011 wildfires.
Burnam and several other Democrats complained that the rule restricting floor amendments means they can't undo the school cuts. The rule has a "put and take" requirement, which means any additional spending proposed in an amendment must be offset by a like amount of cuts elsewhere. In addition, the cuts must be from the same revenue source as the proposed add on.
Even though the state will have nearly $12 billion in rainy-day dollars by August 2015, Pitts said tapping that would require a separate bill. It also requires a two-thirds vote of each chamber, and GOP leaders oppose using the savings to pay for "recurring expenses" such as education.
Burnam told Pitts, "You're saying we can't get there?"
Pitts replied, "Not in this bill."
Simpson, who briefly mounted an unsuccessful challenge to Speaker Joe Straus last year, said he's unhappy about another feature of the calendar rule. It specifically notes that 10 constitutionally protected, dedicated sources of tax revenue can't be shifted around in budget amendments.

One Cube, Many Knockoffs, Quintillions of Possibilities
Contestants Set Rubik's Speed Records, Using Hot-Rod Chinese Copies
BANGKOK—World champion Michal Pleskowicz presents a puzzle to makers of the Rubik's Cube.
The Polish teenager recently won his title in Thailand, lining up all six colors on all six sides of the cube-shaped toy in an average time of 8.65 seconds. "We can't compete with that," griped Chrisi Trussell, vice president of Rubik's Cube's distributor, Seven Towns Ltd.
One reason Mr. Pleskowicz and a new generation of Rubik's fanatics can solve the notoriously difficult puzzle in record time: They don't use Rubik's Cubes at all, instead substituting souped-up Chinese knockoffs engineered for speed.
The spread of these black-market cubes challenges the London-based company with a marketing brain teaser. Should Seven Towns crack down on the pirated toys? Or piggyback on the phenomenon of competitive speed-cubing?
Hungarian inventor Erno Rubik's famous mechanical puzzle has gained a second wind in recent years. Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have adopted it as a symbol of geek chic. Celebrities including Justin Bieber and Will Smith show off their cube-solving skills.
The crème de la crème of the new wave, though, compete to solve the three-dimensional puzzle in the fastest time possible. They rely on high-performance copies bought online from underground Chinese designers.
Seven Towns doesn't want these ersatz cubes elbowing into the broader market; the closely held company sells about 10 million Rubik's Cubes annually.
But the firm also sees how the spread of the turbocharged competition is boosting the popularity of the toy, which has sold an estimated 350 million units since it was introduced to the world in 1980.
The pirated cubes are almost frictionless and bear as much resemblance to genuine Rubik's Cubes as Nascar hot-rods to family sedans. The blocks are sanded or configured to barely touch. This avoids cubes getting stuck during competitions, a dreaded hitch known by cubers as getting "locked."
Many top competitors use cubes from Chinese designer Bao Daqinq. Online favorites carry such names as the Zhanchi, or "spread wings," and the Guhong, "Lone Goose." Aficionados eagerly review and debate attributes of the models online in sites devoted to the practice. Mr. Bao declined to comment.
The company is waging a complex cat-and-mouse legal battle with its Chinese competitors, spending $500,000 a year in legal fees to defend its global trademark and stop unauthorized cubes from reaching brick-and-mortar stores.
David Hedley Jones, the company's business development director, belongs to a European Union-China group on copyright infringement, trying to slow the spread of contraband cubes in Europe. "We really spend a lot of time on this," he said.
Seven Towns sponsors the speed-cubing world championships—an evolving showcase for knockoffs—to generate publicity for the real deal. "There's a balance to be struck, but I think it's working," said Mike Moody, Seven Towns' managing director.
Many competitors fiddle constantly to build up dexterity and wear down stock cubes so they turn faster. "It takes about a month to break in a brand-new Rubik's Cube," said 23-year-old Australian Tim McMahon. Veterans describe a repetitive strain condition as "Rubik's thumb," developed from trying to speed-solve standard-issue cubes.
In the early days of speed-cubing—the 1980s—pioneers first pried open cubes, sanded corners and greased joints with globs of petroleum jelly to allow faster, smoother moves. The Internet opened new possibilities.
"The ones you buy online come with springs and screws so you can adjust them," said former world champion Breandan Vallance from Scotland, who took up cubing to travel the world. "There's less friction because there is less contact area between the surfaces, even if they do sometimes fall apart."
One price of speed, apparently, is reliability. A competitor at the Bangkok championships suffered a major breakdown when his cube "popped" in one heat, scattering dozens of pieces across the stage.
Competitors prepared for the Bangkok finals like professional athletes. During the contest, many avoided eye contact with rivals and fidgeted with their speed cubes, building up rhythm and speed as they rattled through 50 or more memorized sequences of moves. There are, say mathematicians, 43 quintillion possible combinations.
Some wore headphones and listened to techno music. Mr. Pleskowicz, the 19-year-old world champion, prefers Metallica. "It helps build up the speed," he said.
There are deviant competitions, including five-by-five and eight-by-eight cubes. Some compete blindfolded, one-handed or try to see who requires the fewest possible moves. Researchers using computers at Google Inc. last year calculated the absolute minimum was 20 moves.
Istvan Kocza from Hungary employed 22 moves at a contest in the Czech Republic last year. "That was due to a very fortunate scramble that nobody had ever seen before," he said.
In Budapest, meanwhile, the reclusive Mr. Rubik, 67 years old, is working on a new solution to the marketing problem—his own version of the speed cubes to compete with the Chinese.
No rush, though. "We've been working on it for five years," said Janos Kovacs, chief executive at the puzzle-master's Rubik Studio design firm.
