While Volkswagen and the EPA say the recently recalled VW and Audi diesel cars are safe to drive while waiting for the problem to be fixed, a number of car owners feel like they were tricked by the company's "clean diesel" branding and slogans like "this ain't your daddy's diesel."

Publisher's Description
Drawing on their research involving urban pastors from across the United States, Bryan Stone and Claire Wolfteich identify and examine spiritual practices that foster excellence in urban ministry. After discussing the specific challenges facing urban pastors and presenting the kinds of excellence required of them, Stone and Wolfteich explore several practices that help sustain ministers working in urban contexts, such as cultivating holy friendships, practicing Sabbath, maintaining lives of prayer and study, and setting appropriate boundaries. Throughout, the authors weave together stories from urban pastors from a variety of denominations with insights from the history of Christian spirituality and theology to chart a theological course for the formation and renewal of pastors in diverse contemporary contexts.

A lot of the "longs" on this message board such as myself are TRUE "longs"... There are many people here other than me that are passionate about the story of OMONTYS and the belief that it will come back to the market with revised labeling. That's the bet that I'm making here, anyway, and I don't intend to sell any of my shares until that bet is proven either true or false. AFFY is all or nothing for me, based on the story that unfolds... Period. If I lose my investments in AFFY, then so be it. I made a firm bet on my belief, and I'll be OK with that and able to sleep well at night even if it ends up that I am wrong about it. After all, sometimes, life is about going against the flow and taking risks here and there. I like it that I am not alone in that sentiment, too... It's refreshing, and I'm proud to be a part of it!
Step to THAT, GWP... Bam, Pow, and Booyah, all at the same time!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Agreed. Not in for less than range of 25$-40$ in years time. Will hold until or Loose. It is calculated risk.
Savvy monkey!!!!!! I strongly agree with what u r saying. I myself have a good amount in affy. But I mean this is how people make big bucks man. I am a high risk trader and hav bin for awhile. But affy I hav bin researching heavy for almost a year and setting up a strong game plan. I'm almost positive we will make good gains here as long as we pull out at a proper time. After I make my first 100k I'm lettn the rest ride it out. I'm doing the same with NVIV. So let's tear this shet up!!!!

The Church of the Magdalen wants you to know that your marriage matters.
What the Marriage Toolbox Has Meant to Us:"Marriage Toolbox has had such a powerful impact on our marriage. It has reminded us that marriage is a union between husband, wife, AND God. Bringing prayer into the marriage on a daily basis, and not just at times of conflict, has brought us closer together and closer to God. We truly believe families that pray together, stay together! Along the way, we've learned effective techniques for calm conflict resolution, received tips on improving our financial situation, and met some wonderful couples who have proven to be a good resource for us. We are so blessed that God has brought this meaningful program into our lives!" -Chad & Stacy Thomison
The Wichita Diocese Office of Marriage and Family Life is also a wonderful resource for marriage and family. Check them out HERE!

You know the saying, "the early bird catches the worm," but how about something else instead. Like a Lap Top, TV, or Digital Camera?
The Black Friday line at Best Buy in Dothan began forming as soon as Thanksgiving dinner was done.
"What was it like standing in line for 6 hours? Pretty Tiresome, but we had a good time," said Doug Faulk, a Black Friday shopper.
Retailers across the nation depend on Black Friday to bring the green and with 2008's struggling economy, the only thing that can be done is to stay optimistic.
Best Buy District Services Manager, John Hah said, "Every year, it seems like the lines get bigger, We won't know until the customers all go through the door and head over to the register, but we are well stocked and ready to go."
Best Buy wasn't the only destination, other stores at the Dothan Pavilion had their fair share of customers- including Target. Which created a massive line. Wiregrass Commons Mall was also bustling.
"They have been getting ready for the last couple of weeks to tell you the truth, and they have marked down their prices, and I think today is going to be a great day to bring those sales out," said Lynne Dickerson Marketing Director of Wiregrass Commons Mall.
And it doesn't matter if customers are shopping in the outdoor stores or the indoor malls, they are all looking for the same thing.
Dickerson said, "They are just looking for those special sales and discounts,"
If you did not come out Friday morning, stores across Dothan will be having sales all month and many will have extended hours. The Wiregrass Commons will be closing at 10 and opening at 8 this season.

csine and xxxhoop,
We're very sorry for the delay in responding to this thread. Between August 2013 and December 2013, our development on GrabPress came to a halt, while we went through a corporate acquisition. It took some time for us to rebuild our development and support team, so we're just circling back with older threads to make sure all our users have the answers and the support they need.
Can you let us know if you're still having issues connecting to the backend service (Autoposter API)? I know we had some issues with Autoposter connecters during that time period, but we assume all those issues have long been resolved.
Please let us know if there's anything else you need on this matter. Thanks.
This got resolved after an update that was released 7-8 months ago.
Thanks, that's what we assumed. Now that we've staffed the team again, we're hoping we won't have lags in responding to support threads like this going forward. Thanks for your response, much appreciated.
This topic has been closed to new replies.


text: I'm building a photo gallery website where people are going to be paying a fee to list their photos on the website. NextenGallery looks like the best way to manage the photos, but I'm not sure what the best way to handle the submission process would be. The fee to upload files will vary based on how many photos they're submitting. It looks like nggallery has the ability to tie in paypal for selling photos, but how about uploading?

We don't often hear tacit confirmations of $3.2 billion acquisitions in the presence of a beer as lame as Heineken — but that's exactly what happened last night.
In a brief video posted to actor Tyrese Gibson's Facebook page, Dr. Dre called himself "the first billionaire in hip-hop, right here from the motherf**king West Coast." Naturally, this prompted a string of profanities and some feverish dancing.
Earlier in the video, Gibson proclaimed, "The Forbes list [of wealthy individuals] just changed," to which the Dre added, "In a big way."
The partiers were presumably excited about Apple's rumored acquisition of Beats Electronics, which makes Beats headphones and recently spun off a streaming music service. Apple is reportedly scooping up Dr. Dre's company for a massive $3.2 billion, making Beats Apple's largest acquisition by around $2.8 billion.
You're going to have to trust us, though: Beats by Apple isn't as crazy as you may imagine.
Gibson has pulled the video from his Facebook page, but someone uploaded a ripped version to YouTube. We've embedded that below. (For those with delicate sensibilities: It contains bad language. Consider yourselves warned.)
Beats Music is a music streaming service spun out of Beats Electronics and into its own company in early 2013. The core experience will be centered around curated playlists created by musici... All Beats Music news »

I thought this would give us time to pack the rest of our things since we have been in Michigan for a few months and had most of our house packed but, not all of it. This way we had plenty of time to do some final packing and the boys could say good bye to their friends. On the drive there I recieved a phone call from Fireman's Moving company out of Cleveland Ohio. They said they could not be there untill Saurday.
I did have a two day window but really pushed for Friday pick up. I asked if there was any way they could be there Friday. He said he would call me back in less than an hour and let me know. When he did call back they said the best the could do was a Friday night inventory and they would return in the morning to finish packing. Well, Friday came and went with not even a phone call. I tried calling them with no answer.
Saturday morning we got up early thinking they would be there then. It was not until after 10:00 am that I got a call. They said they were on the way but could not be there until the afternoon! WHAT!! I couldn't believe it! I tried calling Nationwide and that is when I found out Nationwide and Firemans moving co. were seperate companies. To cut this short, they did not get there until 5:30 pm! In a 28 foot truck!! No way was everything going to fit. I had to be back in Michigan by Monday and it's a thirteen hour drive so now how am I suppose to clean the house? We had to hire a cleaning company.
I went round and round with both companies and they FINALLY agreed to take the fee for the cleaning off the bill. We had no choice but to leave them to pack the rest of the truck. The driver told me he would get everything on the truck. Well guess what? Five hours into our drive back they called and said they couldn't get it all on the truck! Plus it was my fault they quoted me only 12000 pounds.
The funny thing about that was, I left a bed, large dresser with mirror and a large chest of drawers that were on the list, there to friends. So they didn't even have to pack those items! The delivery to MI was suppose to be Monday. The got there Tuesday at 1:30 pm. I still have not heard from either company on how they are going to bring the rest of our stuff. I think I'll go back to NC and get it myself! What do you think?

Terry ends up rooming with Jean Maitland (Ginger Rogers), an acid-tongued but softhearted dancer. The two trade barbs over everything from Terry's extensive wardrobe to Jean's affair with Anthony Powell (Adolphe Menjou), a Broadway producer who is working his way through an endless procession of young women. His next big production is "Enchanted April," and in order to get funding he is cornered into giving the inexperienced and patently inept Terry the starring role. The part should have gone to Kaye Hamilton (Andrea Leeds), a talented actress at the club who is broke and on the verge of starvation. When Terry gets the part Kaye is crushed.
Based on the play by Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman, the script by Morrie Ryskind and Anthony Veiler retained the basic plot line regarding Terry, Jean, and Kay, while provided some wonderful crackling dialogue amongst the girls (some of which was supposedly based on overhearing the actresses chatting during rehearsals).Read more ›
Seriously, you won't be disappointed.
It's a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours: where else would you get an all-star cast that would make your jaw drop today (Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, Eve Arden, Ann Miller etc. etc.), and a clever, witty script played to the hilt by the astounding cast?
The story is fairly simple: Terry Randall (Hepburn) moves into the Footlights Club to begin her career as an actress. Viewed as an odd cookie by the rest of the girls, her room-mate Jean (Rogers) especially, she starts to win them over until she wins the part belonging to Kaye (Andrea Leeds). Not wins, so much as given. It takes a tragedy to turn Terry into the actress she could be, and the friend she eventually becomes as she remains in the Footlights Club.
This film benefits from a truly amazing cast: Hepburn is glorious as Terry, an independent, in-your-face girl from the upper class, unsure why she's not liked by her new friends as she blithely (and unknowingly) talks down to them; but fiercely loyal and protective of them nonetheless. Witness Terry's outburst in Powell's office, or the way she puts Jean, much the worse for wine, to bed. Hepburn is truly great in her emotional scenes, when she is called to perform on stage despite the revelation she's received just beforehand.
Hepburn alone doesn't make the movie though (as she eventually does in lesser vehicles with less worthy co-stars). Ginger Rogers as Jean is a breath of fresh air. She's quirky, charming, and just generally appealing in her role, playing Jean with a wonderful confidence that bodes well for the character. You warm to Jean immediately. I love Rogers' drunken scenes with Menjou--ditzy yet sweet.Read more ›

Kenyon & Kenyon LLP successfully represented Toyota Motor Corp. in a long term patent litigation against American Vehicular Sciences (AVS). Originally brought by AVS in the Eastern District of Texas, the matter asserted 24 patents across seven separate cases – accusing essentially every major Toyota vehicular safety system. In the three years since the original filing, the Kenyon team filed 12 separate petitions for inter partes review (IPR) and won a stay in the E.D. Tex. pending resolution of the IPRs. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted each of the IPRs, and significant claims were cancelled or dropped. Additionally, the Kenyon team successfully petitioned the Federal Circuit for a writ of mandamus and the case was transferred from the E.D. Tex. to the Eastern District of Michigan, and filed various invalidity summary judgment papers, causing the plaintiff to drop a number of other asserted patents. In May of 2015, the E.D. Mich. granted the plaintiff's unopposed motions to dismiss with prejudice all of the remaining cases against Toyota. (2015)

I've got a very strange and scary issue on one of my WordPress 3.4.1 sites. In admin, when I click into Pages, it shows both my Pages and my Posts. It does not do the reverse -- in my Posts I only see posts.
In my Pages display, when I click to edit on one of the Posts that I see listed in there, it takes me to Edit Post (not Edit Page), so it knows it's a post at that point.
So the whole problem can be boiled down to the Pages display in admin it's grabbing both "page" and "post" post types. What gives!!
I don't know if it's related, but in my Media library search no longer works. I'd discovered this a couple weeks ago and had already deactivated all plugins.
I've got a few custom post type plugins running: Types & Views, Formidable Pro and Custom Post Types UI (currently deactivated), if these matter.

TaylorMade RocketBladez HP Combo Iron Set
Tour irons -- muscleback blades and muscle-cavity blades have for decades remained very much the same in terms of construction and performance. RocketBladez Tour irons changes that with the Speed Pocket, which is the first innovation in tour irons that significantly affects the quality of the ball flight to promote a dramatic improvement in iron play.
The Speed Pocket works in conjunction with an improved Inverted Cone design to promote more ball speed, higher flight and significantly less speed loss on mis-hits low on the face. The result is keen distance-control and soft, quick-stopping landings that should help players consistently hit their approach shots closer to the hole.
RocketBladez Tour is the first distance-enhancing iron to be played on Tour, and has already been used to win three times, including by Dustin Johnson at the 2013 Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Help - Great Back Up Choice to D3S
I have shot DX for the past 7 years, however, I have moved to FX. I started with the D800 as my first full frame camera but after 5 bodies I gave up (Each body had quirks outside of left focus issue). I returned all of them but ended up with a great deal from my camera retail center, Murphy's Camera in Lexington, KY (Don is the best!!!), I picked up a Nikon D3S for $2900 with 1100 clicks. It was an unbelievable deal. I LOVE the D3S. However, I miss the quality of the D800 and the 1080P video, I think it is the acuity and sharpness of the D800. I decided to try it again and pick up a D800. I just asked in the D800 forum if I should go new or refurb and all responses were new. However, I am thinking is the D800 the best back up and high MP camera for me.
I shoot models in the studio and on location, tons of events and concerts as well as urban, landscape and architecture work. So as I think about it, majority of my paid work I will use the D3S for events and concerts. However when I shoot urban, landscapes and architecture I want more detail and acuity. Here's my dilemma, I am still reading the issues the D800 is suffering from and it is a year later. I'm not sure the problem will be resolved in the D800 and the fix may come with a D800S or D900. I am not up to buying a $3k camera and have to test for focus issues or to be in the field with inconsistent focus, flash issues, and severe front/back focus issues. Yes I am very skeptical of the D800 quality issues but there is no denying when it works it works extremely well.
I sold most of my DX bodies and lenses and what I have left is the D80, Nikon 17-55 2.8 and the 18-200 VR I. These items are still up for sell unless I begin to hear the D7100 may be a consideration for my needs.
I am well invested in FX lenses (85 1.8G, 24-120 f/4G, 50 1.4G, 105 2.8, 80-200 ED-AFD and Sigma 35 1.4).
So, I am asking my comrades what do you think will be a great back-up/landscape/architecture/vacation camera?
I look forward to your opinions and assistance.
Thank you in advance!

Option 1: Pentax 645D. Excellent quality, weather sealed, no left focus problems, ideal for studio, architecture, etc.
Option 2: Canon 5DMk3. You can use all your Nikon glass with a $15 adapter, no focus problems since you'll be doing it yourself.
Option 3: Nikon D3x. Feels just like your D3s, but with 24MP. Excellent quality.
Option 4: D600: Uses all your glass, cheaper than D800 or D3x. Awesome image quality for the money.
Option 5: Buy a D800 and leave the focus point in the middle. Us sports guys do it all the time.
So many solid choices for you.

I got my D800 soon after they came out. I don't know what issues you're referring to, I haven't had a single one with mine. I simply think its the best camera there is for landscape work. I pair it up with the 16-35mm and 24-120mm - I couldn't imagine using anything else.
I pull out the D4 with the 24-70 and 70-200 or even the 28-300 for other work, but for landscapes the D800 with those two lens are king.

This question is referencing Jetpack, but I've tried others too: whatever social plug in I use, I'm having trouble with the Facebook share button.
Sometimes it shares my post on Facebook as expected. Example: Press Facebook share on this post: http://govinnovator.com/2012/adam-thomas
For other posts, it shares it without a thumbnail, even though I have a featured image and even an image within the post (with display off so it doesn't show). Example: Press Facebook share on this post: http://govinnovator.com/2012/matt-leighninger
And for still other posts, it shares my main page but not that specific post. Example: Press Facebook share on this post: http://govinnovator.com/2012/jeff-tryens
Any advice? When I look at these various posts, I don't see anything different within them that would cause them to act differently so I'm really stumped.

The Tarim Basin is an endorheic basin in northwest China occupying an area of about 1,020,000 km2 (390,000 sq mi).[1] Located in China's Xinjiang region, it is sometimes used synonymously to refer the southern half of the province, or Nanjiang (‹The template Zh is being considered for merging.› Chinese: 南疆; pinyin: Nánjiāng; literally: "Southern Xinjiang"). Its northern boundary is the Tian Shan mountain range and its southern boundary is the Kunlun Mountains on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The Taklamakan Desert dominates much of the basin. The historical Uyghur name for the Tarim Basin is Altishahr (六域), which means "six cities" in Uyghur.

Geography and relation to Xinjiang[edit]
Xinjiang consists of two main geographically, historically, and ethnically distinct regions with different historical names, Dzungaria and the Tarim Basin (Altishahr), before Qing China unified them into one political entity called Xinjiang province in 1884. At the time of the Qing conquest in 1759, Dzungaria was inhabited by steppe dwelling, nomadic Tibetan Buddhist Dzungar people, while the Tarim Basin (Altishahr) was inhabited by sedentary, oasis dwelling, Turkic speaking Muslim farmers, now known as the Uyghur people. They were governed separately until 1884.
The Tarim Basin is the result of an amalgamation between an ancient microcontinent and the growing Eurasian continent during the Carboniferous to Permian periods. At present, deformation around the margins of the basin is resulting in the microcontinental crust being pushed under Tian Shan to the north, and Kunlun Shan to the south.
A thick succession of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks occupy the central parts of the basin, locally exceeding thicknesses of 15 km (9 mi). The source rocks of oil and gas tend to be Permian mudstones. Below this level is a complex Precambrian basement believed to be made up of the remnants of the original Tarim microplate, which accrued to the growing Eurasian continent in Carboniferous time. The snow on K2, the second highest mountain in the world, flows into glaciers which move down the valleys to melt. The melted water forms rivers which flow down the mountains and into the Tarim Basin, never reaching the sea. Surrounded by desert, some rivers feed the oases where the water is used for irrigation while others flow to salt lakes and marshes.
Lop Nur is a marshy, saline depression at the east end of the Tarim Basin. The Tarim River ends in Lop Nur.
The Tarim Basin is believed to contain large potential reserves of petroleum and natural gas.[2]:493 Methane comprises over 70 percent of the natural gas reserve, with variable contents of ethane (<1% ~18%) and propane (<0.5% ~9%).[3] China National Petroleum Corporation's comprehensive exploration of the Tarim basin between 1989 and 1995 led to the identification of 26 oil- and gas-bearing structures. These occur at deeper depths and in scattered deposits. Beijing aims to develop Xinjiang into China's new energy base for the long run, supplying one-fifth of the country's total oil supply by 2010, with an annual output of 35 million tonnes.[4] On June 10, 2010 Baker Hughes announced an agreement to work with PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Co. to supply oilfield services, including both directional and vertical drilling systems, formation evaluation services, completion systems and artificial lift technology for wells drilled into foothills formations greater than 7,500 meters (24,600 feet) deep with pressures greater than 20,000 psi (1379 bar) and bottomhole temperatures of approximately 160 °C (320 °F). Electrical submersible pumping (ESP) systems will be employed to dewater gas and condensate wells. PetroChina will fund any joint development.[5]
In 2015, Chinese researchers published the finding of a vast, carbon-rich underground sea beneath the basin.[6][7]
It is speculated that the Tarim Basin may be one of the last places in Asia to have become inhabited: It is surrounded by mountains and irrigation technologies might have been necessary.[8]
The Northern Silk Road on one route bypassed the Tarim Basin north of the Tian Shan mountains and traversed it on three oases-dependent routes: one north of the Taklamakan Desert, one south, and a middle one connecting both through the Lop Nor region.
- The northern Tarim route ran from Kashgar over Aksu, Kucha, Korla, through the Iron Gate Pass, over Karasahr, Jiaohe, Turpan, Gaochang and Kumul to Anxi.
- The southern Tarim route ran from Kashgar over Yarkant, Karghalik, Pishan, Khotan, Keriya, Niya, Qarqan, Qarkilik, Miran and Dunhuang to Anxi.
- The middle Tarim route, allowing the shortest possible itinerary of all four routes, connected Korla on the northern Tarim route over Loulan across the Lop Nor region with Dunhuang on the southern Tarim route. The Lop Nor region became uninhabitable in the 4th century and the middle route has been deserted since the 6th century.
The Tocharian languages were once spoken in the Tarim Basin. They were the easternmost group of Indo-European languages, and may be related to the "Yuezhi" (Chinese 月氏; Wade–Giles: Yüeh-Chih). Besides Tocharian, various Eastern Iranian Khotanese Scythian dialects were also spoken.
Han dynasty[edit]
Around 200 BCE, the Yuezhi were overrun by the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu tried to invade the western region of China, but ultimately failed and lost control of the region to the Chinese. The Han Chinese wrested control of the Tarim Basin from the Xiongnu at the end of the 1st century under the leadership of General Ban Chao (32–102 CE), during the Han-Xiongnu War.[9] The Chinese administered the Tarim Basin as the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The Tarim Basin was later under many foreign rulers, but ruled primary by Turkic, Han, Tibetan, and Mongolic peoples.
The powerful Kushans expanded back into the Tarim Basin in the 1st–2nd centuries CE, where they established a kingdom in Kashgar and competed for control of the area with nomads and Chinese forces. They introduced the Brahmi script, the Indian Prakrit language for administration, and Buddhism, playing a central role in the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism to Eastern Asia.
Lop Nur is the site of the bronze-age Xiaohe Tomb complex from which more than 30 well-preserved mummies have been excavated. It is now a nuclear test site for the People's Republic of China.
Tang dynasty[edit]
During the Tang Dynasty, a series of military expeditions were conducted against the oasis states of the Tarim Basin, then vassals of the Western Turkic Khaganate.[10] The campaigns against the oasis states began under Emperor Taizong with the annexation of Gaochang in 640.[11] The nearby kingdom of Karasahr was captured by the Tang in 644 and the kingdom of Kucha was conquered in 649.[12]
The expansion into Central Asia continued under Taizong's successor, Emperor Gaozong, who dispatched an army in 657 led by Su Dingfang against the Western Turk qaghan Ashina Helu.[12] Ashina was defeated and the khaganate was absorbed into the Tang empire.[13] The Tarim Basin was administered through the Anxi Protectorate and the Four Garrisons of Anxi. Tang hegemony beyond the Pamir Mountains in modern Tajikistan and Afghanistan ended with revolts by the Turks, but the Tang retained a military presence in Xinjiang. These holdings were later invaded by the Tibetan Empire to the south in 670. For the remainder of the Tang Dynasty, the Tarim Basin alternated between Tang and Tibetan rule as they competed for control of Central Asia.[14]
Islamisation of the Tarim Basin[edit]
The Tarim Basin was previously occupied by Indo-European Tocharian and Iranic Saka peoples who adopted and promoted the Buddhist religion. The area was subject to Islamisation and Turkification at the hands of migrated Turkic Muslims.
Buddhists escape into the Tarim Basin[edit]
The discovery of the Tarim mummies has created a stir in the Turkic-speaking Uighur population of the region, who claim the area has always belonged to their culture, while it was not until the 10th century when the Uyghurs are said by scholars to have moved to the region from Central Asia.[15] American Sinologist Victor H. Mair claims that "the earliest mummies in the Tarim Basin were exclusively Caucasoid, or Europoid", with "east Asian migrants arriving in the eastern portions of the Tarim Basin around 3,000 years ago"; he also notes that it was not until 842 that the Uighur peoples settled in the area.[16]
Protected by the Taklamakan Desert from steppe nomads, elements of Tocharian culture survived until the 7th century, when the arrival of Turkic immigrants from the collapsing Uyghur Khaganate of modern-day Mongolia began to absorb the Tocharians to form the modern-day Uyghur ethnic group.[16]
Professor James A. Millward described the original Uyghurs as physically Mongoloid, giving as an example the images in Bezeklik at Temple 9 of the Uyghur patrons, until they began to mix with the Tarim Basin's original eastern Iranian inhabitants.[17]
The modern Uyghurs are now a mixed hybrid of Mongoloid and Caucasian.[18][19][20]
Turkic-Islamic Kara-Khanid conquest of Iranic Saka Buddhist Khotan[edit]
The conquests of the cities east of Kashgar were started by the Turkic Karakhanid Satok Bughra Khan who in 966 embraced Islam and many tales emerged about the Karakhanid ruling family's war against the Buddhists, Satok Bughra Khan's nephew or grandson Ali Arslan was slain by the Buddhists during the war. Buddhism lost territory to the Turkic Karakhanid Satok Bughra Khan during the Karakhanid reign around the Kashgar area.[21] A long war ensued between the Turkic Karakhanid Satok Bughra Khan and Buddhist Khotan which eventually ended in the conquest of Khotan by Kashgar.[22]
Iranic Saka peoples originally inhabited Yarkand and Kashgar in ancient times. The Buddhist Iranic Saka Kingdom of Khotan was the only city-state that was not conquered yet by the Turkic Uyghur (Buddhist) and the Turkic Qarakhanid (Muslim) states and its ruling family used Indian names and the population were devout Buddhists. The Buddhist entitites of Dunhuang and Khotan had a tight-knit partnership, with intermarriage between Dunhuang and Khotan's rulers and Dunhuang's Mogao grottos and Buddhist temples being funded and sponsored by the Khotan royals, whose likenesses were drawn in the Mogao grottoes.[23] The rulers of Khotan were aware of the menace they faced since they arranged for the Mogao grottoes to paint a growing number of divine figures along with themselves. Halfway in the 20th century Khotan came under attack by the Qarakhanid ruler Musa, and in what proved to be a pivotal moment in the Turkification and Islamisation of the Tarim Basin, the Karakhanid leader Yusuf Qadir Khan conquered Khotan around 1006.[23]
The Taẕkirah is a genre of literature written about Sufi Muslim saints in Altishahr. Written sometime in the period from 1700-1849, the Eastern Turkic language (modern Uyghur) Taẕkirah of the Four Sacrificed Imams provides an account of the Muslim Karakhanid war against the Khotanese Buddhists, containing a story about Imams, from Mada'in city (possibly in modern-day Iraq) came 4 Imams who travelled to help the Islamic conquest of Khotan, Yarkand, and Kashgar by Yusuf Qadir Khan, the Qarakhanid leader.[24] Accounts of the battles waged by the invading Muslims upon the indigenous Buddhists takes up most of the Taẕkirah with descriptions such as "blood flows like the Oxus", "heads litter the battlefield like stones" being used to describe the murderous battles over the years until the "infidels" were defeated and driven towards Khotan by Yusuf Qadir Khan and the four Imams, but the Imams were assassinated by the Buddhists prior to the last Muslim victory so Yusuf Qadir Khan assigned Khizr Baba, who was born in Khotan but whose mother originated from western Turkestan's Mawarannahr, to take care of the shrine of the 4 Imams at their tomb and after Yusuf Qadir Khan's conquest of new land in Altishahr towards the east, he adopted the title "King of the East and China".[25] Due to the Imams deaths in battle and burial in Khotan, Altishahr, despite their foreign origins, they are viewed as local saints by the current Muslim population in the region.[26]
Muslim works such as Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam contained anti-Buddhist rhetoric and polemic against Buddhist Khotan,[27] aimed at "dehumanizing" the Khotanese Buddhists, and the Muslims Kara-Khanids conquered Khotan just 26 years following the completion of Ḥudūd al-ʿĀlam.[27]
Muslims gouged the eyes of Buddhist murals along Silk Road caves and Kashgari recorded in his Turkic dictionary an anti-Buddhist poem/folk song.[28]
Satuq Bughra Khan and his son directed endeavors to preach Islam among the Turks and engage in democratically conquests.[29] The Islamic conquest of Khotan led to alarm in the east and Dunhuang's Cave 17, which contained Khotanese literary works, was closed shut possibly after its caretakers heard that Khotan's Buddhist buildings were razed by the Muslims, the Buddhist religion had suddenly ceased to exist in Khotan.[29]
In 1006, the Muslim Kara-Khanid ruler Yusuf Kadir (Qadir) Khan of Kashgar conquered Khotan, ending Khotan's existence as an independent state. The war was described as a Muslim Jihad (holy war) by the Japanese Professor Takao Moriyasu. The Karakhanid Turkic Muslim writer Mahmud al-Kashgari recorded a short Turkic language poem about the conquest:
English translation:
We came down on them like a flood,
We went out among their cities,
We tore down the idol-temples,
We shat on the Buddha's head!
Interpretation of translation:
We came down on them like a flood
We went out upon their cities
We tore down the idol temples
We shit upon the idols' heads.
In Turkic:
kälginläyü aqtïmïz
kändlär üzä čïqtïmïz
furxan ävin yïqtïmïz
burxan üzä sïčtïmïz
Alternate Turkic transliteration:
kãlñizlãyũ aqtimiz
kãndlãr õzã čiqtimiz
furxan ãwin yiqtimiz
burxan ũzã sičtimiz
Conversion of the Buddhist Uyghurs[edit]
The Buddhist Uyghurs of the Kingdom of Qocho and Turfan embraced Islam after conversion at the hands of the Muslim Chagatai Khizr Khwaja.[23]
Kara Del was a Mongolian ruled and Uighur populated Buddhist Kingdom. The Muslim Chagatai Khan Mansur invaded and used the sword to make the population convert to Islam.[34]
After being converted to Islam, the descendants of the previously Buddhist Uyghurs in Turfan believed that the "infidel Kalmuks" (Dzungars) were the ones who built Buddhist monuments in their area, in opposition to the current academic theory that it was their own ancestral legacy.[35][36]
Qing dynasty[edit]
Xinjiang did not exist as one unit until 1884 under Qing rule. It consisted of the two separate political entities of Dzungaria and the Tarim Basin (Eastern Turkestan).[37][38][39][40] Dzungharia or Ili was called Zhunbu 準部 (Dzungar region) Tianshan Beilu 天山北路 (Northern March), "Xinjiang" 新疆 (New Frontier),[41] or "Kalmykia" (La Kalmouquie in French).[42][43] It was formerly the area of the Dzungar (or Zunghar) Khanate 準噶爾汗國, the land of the Dzungar people. The Tarim Basin was known as "Tianshan Nanlu 天山南路 (southern March), Huibu 回部 (Muslim region), Huijiang 回疆 (Muslim frontier), Chinese Turkestan, Kashgaria, Little Bukharia, East Turkestan", and the traditional Uyghur name for it was Altishahr (Uyghur: التى شهر, Алтә-шәһәр, ULY: Altä-shähär).[44] It was formerly the area of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate 東察合台汗國, land of the Uyghur people before being conquered by the Dzungars.
Although archaeological findings are of interest in the Tarim Basin, the prime impetus for exploration was petroleum and natural gas. Recent research with help of GIS database have provided a fine-grained analysis of the ancient oasis of Niya on the Silk Road. This research led to significant findings; remains of hamlets with wattle and daub structures as well as farm land, orchards, vineyards, irrigation pools and bridges. The oasis at Niya preserves the ancient landscape. Here also have been found hundreds of 3rd and 4th century wooden accounting tablets at several settlements across the oasis. These texts are in the Kharosthi script native to today's Pakistan and Afghanistan. The texts are legal documents such as tax lists, and contracts containing detailed information pertaining to the administration of daily affairs.[45]
Additional excavations have unearthed tombs with mummies,[46] tools, ceramic works, painted pottery and other artistic artifacts. Such diversity was encouraged by the cultural contacts resulting from this area's position on the Silk Road.[47] Early Buddhist sculptures and murals excavated at Miran show artistic similarities to the traditions of Central Asia and North India[48] and stylistic aspects of paintings found there suggest that Miran had a direct connection with the West, specifically Rome and its provinces.[49]

There doesn't seem to be an option to have a separate class of page cache for logged in users, and I've ready that db cache and object cache would help, but I've also noted that both of these caching methods are really bad for performance on shared hosting services.
Is the general consensus that I pretty much need a VPS to get a decent level of performance for my scenario?
