The staff at the registration desk was very helpful and knowledgeable. Provided all the assistance I needed. I wanted to thank Tracy for the excellent job she did.
They were very knowledgeable and helpful. I took two tours, and went to Rancho Manana – they were great in keeping us comfortable in the excessive heat.
"Great to have someone at the registration desk to allow most of planning team to attend sessions. Traci was great, given the challenge of picking this up in the middle!

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Example= Alterntor at National around $600.00 installed. The same at other shops average for same vehical $300.00. Although they offer a $12.95 oil change at times, that is to get you in door. If you are not wanting anything other than the oil change you are considered and it is noted in their computer that you are not a customer and the next time you come in they will give you some excuse such as, sorry we have a full appointment for the rest of the week.
As far as Tech.(mech) most are some of the best and provide excellant work. For the tech to make money he has to find as many possible things wrong with your car. Not stating that National is a rip off company but you must consider that 4.2 over cost of parts is excessive. Their labor rate is quit compariable to Dealers. Their parts they get for your car is a lot of times from> Autozone, Ace, Advance auto parts, so as you see they are not of quality parts as from dealers or NAPA stores. Example= starter at Autozone cost them $100. Your bill= starter $420.00 + $150.00 + shop cost supplies around $20.00 so now you pay $590.00. Guess you wandering how I know this.
Well I worked as a Mech for over 36 years. I worked for National for 11 months as a Tow Truck driver. My job, was to try to bring any/all cars back to shop (national).Why? cause if they could sell you over $100 then I would get $20.00. Humm you say. Me too. I had a lot of issues with them about overcharging people and as I call it RIPPING then off. I have seen computers put into cars that did not need it because,not the Tech, but because the Mangement felt to compell to.
I suggest that if you go to a National Auto Service Center that you highly get quoates from other repair shops before you have them to do your work. You will proberly save a LOT of money and unnessary parts. A fair price is fair,but 4.2 over cost plus labor?? and targeting the elderly? I was a honest Mech for over 37 years!! I can not and will not work for companys like these.

YES Censors Affiliated Blogs Over Rafael Soriano Criticism?
When news of Rafael Soriano's signing filtered onto Twitter on the evening of January 13th, many Yankees fans were aghast at the length of the deal and the fact that the club had sacrificed a draft pick to obtain an 8th inning man. A number of those fans used their platforms as bloggers to criticize the signing. In particular, Mike Axisa and Joe Pawlikowski expressed displeasure with the move over at River Avenue Blues (RAB), while Steve Goldman penned a critical column entitled, "What the Heck Are the Yankees Doing?" that ran at his Pinstriped Bible blog. What happened next reeks of censorship and raises questions about the degree of journalistic integrity required by a sports network that is owned by the team that it purports to cover.
Pinstriped Bible is directly affiliated with the YES Network, as the site is designed to look like the YES homepage and is frequently featured on the YES front page. A few hours after being posted, Steve Goldman's post was suddenly pulled, only to reappear a number of hours later with a new title (Soriano Strengthens the Pen, But Do Dominoes Fall?) and a softened stance. A visit to the page shows the altered title and article, but the URL still contains the original title. I have the original article saved (available upon request), and the primary differences are a few sentences added in support of the deal, as well as the moving of a positive paragraph to the beginning of the article. When asked about the incident, Goldman declined to comment.
River Avenue Blues has a slightly weaker affiliation with YES, as they simply have a YES toolbar at the top of their page, but they too are featured on the YES website and in commercials that run on the YES network. After seeing what had happened to Goldman's post, I kept an eye on RAB to try and see if something similar occurred. Sure enough, a few hours after their criticism of the signing, I noticed that the YES toolbar had disappeared. When I asked the guys at RAB about it, they declined to comment, and continue to do so. I am not sure when it returned, but I did notice that it was still missing at least 4 days after the signing. It is now back in place.
So what happened? Being that the guys at RAB and Steve Goldman both declined to comment, I can only take a rough stab at it, but I think the answer is obvious from the facts. Remember, Brian Cashman had nothing to do with this signing, as he has confirmed that ownership was the brains behind the deal. So one of two things took place:
1) Ownership asked YES to block the criticism from being affiliated with YES in any way, and YES complied,
2) YES took preemptive action because they knew that ownership would be upset if they saw the criticism linked to from the YES website.
Regardless of which choice is true, the conclusion is equally disturbing. Because YES hosts Pinstriped Bible, they likely were able to directly censor Goldman, asking him to remove his post and edit it so as to mitigate the harshest points of criticism within it. As for RAB, because YES has limited control over the content of the site, their only choice was to pull their toolbar from the site until the displeasure over the deal settled a bit.
The question then becomes whether there is anything wrong with what YES did in this case. Some might argue that the team has no responsibility to provide a forum for criticism of the club and the moves that they choose to make. The problem with this argument is that YES has already chosen to provide that forum by affiliating with blogs in the first place. PB and RAB are critical of moves made by Brian Cashman all the time, yet no censorship of this sort has ever occurred before, to the best of my knowledge. It is unseemly to suddenly object to the content of the blogs now that they are critical of whomever in the organization was responsible for signing Soriano, particularly when similar criticism of other key members of the organization has gone uncensored in the past.
The Yankees like to tell us that the YES network provides unbiased, balanced coverage of the Yankees, pointing to the fact that they carry Mike Francesa's show on their airwaves and allow their announcers to be critical of the club. Affiliating with blogs who do not wear Yankee-colored glasses is a laudable step in that direction, and suggests a true commitment to journalistic integrity. However, once a decision has been made to abide by journalistic standards rather than be a propaganda arm for the club, YES needs to stick to those standards rather than sacrificing their integrity so as to avoid upsetting the wrong people.

Brimfield: Upholstery, Furnishings & a Passion for Plaid
- Location: Chicago, IL
Store History
- Founded: 2009
- Founded by: Julie Fernstrom
- Headquarters: Chicago
Julie first fell in love with home furnishings and upholstery in London. After following a guy across the Atlantic, she found a way to support herself by scavenging the English and Welsh countryside for great vintage finds, which she resold at a London flea market stall.
She later returned to the U.S. and opened English Cottage (now closed) before setting up shop in Andersonville, a great neighborhood for unique furniture stores. Brimfield is (appropriately) filled to the brim with blankets, tabletop pieces, clothing, home accessories, and one-of-a-kind furniture. There's a basement level with additional stuff, including barstools, lighting, and vintage signage.
Prices are reasonable for the quality, although they're not cheap. Even if you don't have a lot to spend, we recommend stopping by the store just for the inspiring ideas—an armchair upholstered in Swiss army blankets, a library cart repurposed as a bar, and throw pillows made from flannel shirts were just a few of the smart concepts we spotted.
In addition to keeping shop, Julie offers custom upholstery services. There's currently no website for Brimfield. You have to visit in-person or call for more information.

Q: I found a place that is online with a Realtor, but it says to contact a "Buyer's Agent" instead of the listed Realtor. Why? What does this mean?
–Shell, Las Vegas, NV
A: Having a good buyers agent is key. They can walk you through the buying process, at no cost to you. They will be able to be the giver of advice, schedule appointments, explain to you about neighborhoods and properties. They will negotiate on your behalf and write up contracts for you. Its a great service, and its free. Why not take advantage of it?
Matt Laricy is a Realtor® with Americorp Real Estate in Chicago, IL.
A: The listing agent has a fiduciary duty to the seller first and foremost. It would be in your best interest to get a Realtor (who under these circumstances would be the Buyer's agent) to represent you.
Think about it this way, if you were getting sued, would you hire the same attorney of the person suing you? Of course not. You need someone who will fight for your interests/rights diligently.
Alex Cortez is a Realtor® with Wailea Village Properties LLC dba/Island Sotheby's in Kihei, HI.
A: Every person is entitled to their own representation. A buyer's agent is an agent who works with buyers, not sellers. The listing agent's first responsibility is with the seller. If you use the same agent, it is considered dual agency. In other words, that agent will represent both sides. Some question whether an agent can represent both sides fairly. Consider a lawyer representing both sides in a court room. It could be a conflict of interest. Most buyer's agents do not cost the buyer a commission since most are paid by the seller.
Beverley Hourlier is a Realtor® with Hilltop Chateau Realty in San Diego, CA.
A: You are not required to use the listing agent to see any house. It is almost always to your advantage and will almost never cost you anything to have your own agent. This is a buyers agent. It is a form of representation-any agent can act as one. To take it a step further, you could look for an exclusive buyers agent. They specialize in buyers and do not represent sellers at all.
Linda Walters is a Realtor® with Sage Realty LLC in Wayne, PA.
A: A buyers agent also called "selling agent" is a real estate agent that shows homes and matches buyers to homes. They work hand-in-hand with "listing agents" who have a contract with a person or banks to list their property on the market. So, if a property is on the market in NV for $100,000 usually the total commission the realtors would receive would be 6% (3% goes to the listing agent for listing it on the MLS, and 3% goes to buyers agent for finding a buyer to buy-you). In my book REO BOOM I discuss the difference between a "listing agent" and a "buyers agent" and how the listing agents control some of the best deals in the marketplace.
Aram Shah is a Realtor® with Florida Capital Realty in Doral, FL.
A: A buyers agent works only for the buyer. That means the agent cannot show you any of their own company's listings. A dual agent is able to show ALL listings. I suggest you interview a couple of different Realtors who are FULL TIME in the business and go with the one who you think is a good fit.
Maria Picardi-Kenyon is a Realtor® with Re/Max Tri County Realtors in Hamilton, NJ

Chamois butter is the magic elixir of cycling–it can transform a painful and chafing ride into pure bliss. Genitals, (either the internal or external variety) were never really meant to spend extended time cozying up to the inside of a pair of cycling shorts. I don't really care how fluffy or slippery or awesome the chamois, it's still going to feel like sandpaper after a hard day in the saddle.
One of my favorite chamois creams comes from a small company called Chomper Body, and the male-specific mix is called Ballocks. They also make a salve for women called Booty Balm, as well as a therapeutic and embrocation cream.
The products contain the essence of tea tree oil, lemon, lavender and other natural ingredients and runs $18 for the Ballocks or Booty Balm and $9 for the Crank embrocation creme or Muscle Butter therapeutic rub. You can buy them at many local bike stores, but the products are available on the company's website as well.
A small dab of Ballocks is enough to keep me comfortable all-day without that slimy feeling that many cremes can leave behind, and I never feel like I'm sliding around on my saddle after application. The smell isn't overpowering or obnoxious either, with just a slight scent of tea-tree odor.

#12293 closed (wontfix)
mysql backend raises Warning exceptions for ignorable info notices
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|mysql warnings note
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
For example, when I use the custom /sql/mymodel.mysql.sql with something like:
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS myview;
python-mysqldb raises a Database.Warning to warn us of the info that the table did not exist.
mysql> drop view if exists myview; Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec) mysql> show warnings; +-------+------+-----------------------------+ | Level | Code | Message | +-------+------+-----------------------------+ | Note | 1051 | Unknown table 'mydb.myview' | +-------+------+-----------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
This Warning gets propagated when DEBUG==True (because it's not filterwarning'd) and then the rest of my custom SQL does not get run.
I propose a check against 'Note' level warnings, ignoring those. See my attached patch.
(I created a third function to avoid more duplicate code. I don't know if this extra call decreases performancy any.)

I disagree that Django should be throwing away data returned by the cursor. If you don't want notes to be reported by the cursor, might I suggest the use of the sql_notes variable.
comment:2 Changed 6 years ago by wdoekes
Okay, that works for me. Thanks :)
A possible implementation for others experiencing the same issue:
class suppressed_sql_notes(object): ''' Pimp a cursor object to suppress SQL notes and re-enable the original configuration when done. Use this in a with statement, like so: with suppressed_sql_notes(connection.cursor()) as cursor: cursor.execute('STUFF THAT YIELDS HARMLESS NOTICES') See django bug #12293 marked as WONTFIX. ''' def __init__(self, cursor): self.cursor = cursor def __enter__(self): self.cursor.execute('''SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0;''') return self.cursor def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback): self.cursor.execute('''SET SQL_NOTES=@OLD_SQL_NOTES;''')
And those two SQL statements at the beginning and end of your custom SQL files.

Hi guys
I have two wordpress blogs, both using version 2.7. Today I was notified that version 2.7.1 was available so I tried to automatically upgrade using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin (I don't know if there's anything else available. I use this one and it's been working fine)
Anyway while attempting to upgrade I received the following error message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class pclzip in /home/nefst3/public_html/sofia/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 171
Above message appeared at both blogs and of course installation was not completed. I don't want to upgrade manually, but I don't know if there's something wrong with my blogs, with the plugin or...whatever
any help is much appreciated

Almost three months after I had stopped working for them and numerous phone calls I contacted them again only to be told that I had already picked up my check in person absolute lie. They did agree to write me a new check. This check was for 64 dollars that works out to a little over 2 dollars an hour slave wages. Despite the fact that the owner walks around with hundreds of dollars in cash that he likes to show off like a "big man." I gave up my fight over the money feeling hurt and abused.
Now knowing theses things I feel a responsibility to inform and warn others of their treachery. Not only did I find the practice of lying to customers appualing not paying people what they are owed is also terrible. In my training i was told to showcase products that were just bottles filled with water as "anti-icky poop" to remove and prevent pet odors then charge an extra 50$ and do nothing different other than pretend to add another solution.
I suggest that if Request Services gives you an unrequested phone call record it, easy to do on most cell phones, politely ask them to remove you from their list and report them. When they call back in a month or two do the same. I have recently gone thru some of the reviews on them and suspect that many of the positive ones are created by the company themselves. The negative ones are spot on and fall in line with my experiences. Tell your friends and family not to do business with them.

As the owner of the company i can state that colorado has a very strict guideline on contract/employee training we are to provide a minimal amount of training to a contractor,as well as if we offer paid trianing they are an employee.This particular gentleman was hired as an independent contractor. The reason for not receiving a paycheck was the invoice was not turned in by said contractor as he just quit.as for the differance in pay expected i would be happy to research the invoice and the daily records kept at our office from that time.As for telling you to sell stuff that you weren't supposed to i can only tell you that if you were, i am proud of you for having integrity and only wish that you would have come to me personally, to address this issue.
We do not intentionally call anyone on the no call list we know it is illegal, and work hard to scrub our numbers against that list ,to avoid doing so.However if someone asks us, to take them off our list ,we keep an in house list and work dilligently to avoidCALLING THOSE PEOPLE.As for walking around with a wad of cash in my pocket,i dont know what you were referring to but whatever i do with money that i have earned, is not the contractors business.We are a great company that has crossed many hurdles in our 13 years of being in business,and i for one dislike very strongly any accusations that are put out there by entitled, whiny, younger, generation who have had most of this life handed to them! PLEASE COME GET YOUR 76.00 IF YOU BELIEVE YOU EARNED IT SIR.

When you click on his link, it looks like the Paypal website, and you are asked all sorts of private info, like bank account #s, credit card #s, passwords and login IDs. But it's all fake. Don't ever fall for anything like that. Just go to Paypal and look at your history, that will tell you if you were being billed for anything.

How do I remove the trailing slash?

How do I remove the trailing slash?
Needs to look like...
Manually added catenations?! Instead of simply adding a function the WordPress team manually opened every frigin file and added catenations! Whatever, I'm not going to bother hacking something where it's apparent instead of implementing an option via a function they manually hacked each file to "fix" the trailing slash problem because the design of the back end is questionable about longevity for any given version to bother trying to hack it.
Removing trailing slashes from WordPress 2.5 requires a HACK. With the frequency of new versions this should be made a high priority bug.
Marking resolved: not going to bother wasting my time.

Talked with Joe who said to wait the 2 weeks. I proceeded to to call every two weeks and got the sameexcuses that the previous people reported. They ran out -- were waiting for a new shipment -- the shipment got lost - etc!! I even asked if this product existed. To which I was assured that it did.
Yes it was a rip-off. I had a shipment from New Zealand sent regular mail that only took 4 weeks.

Civil War buffs take a step back in time
Published: Saturday, March 1, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 29, 2008 at 11:11 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- A handful of Civil War enthusiasts will recreate a day in the life of Confederate and Union soldiers this weekend in an effort to encourage others to learn more about local history and their ancestors.
"Remembering Lt. E.D. White: A Civil War Encampment," will feature participants donning Civil War-era uniforms, sleeping in tents and fighting in miniature skirmishes today and Sunday on the grounds of the E.D. White Historical Site on La. 1. The event is scheduled to last throughout both days.
Admission is free for the public.
The E.D. White Historical Site is on the route the Union Army traveled from Labadieville to Thibodaux in November 1862, said Denis Gaubert, a participant in the encampment. The events title is an ode to former Supreme Court Justice Edward Douglass White, a
Thibodaux native who served as a lieutenant for the confederacy.
"The encampment shows what life was like for soldiers when they were on their campaign," Gaubert said.
The encampment is not a reenactment, Gaubert added, noting the latter refers to an event where a fight is being recreated.
Gaubert and other enthusiasts have done an encampment the past four to five years on the first weekend of March, he said.
Approximately a dozen men will act as soldiers during the encampment, Gaubert said, with more expected to wear the gray of the Confederate Army than the blue of the Union. Participants purchased their own authentic Civil War gear from companies in North Carolina and Mississippi.
He added the soldiers would stage at least one skirmish per day, though the times will depend on when the most spectators are in attendance.
The encampment will also serve as an exhibit showcasing original muskets, pistols and bayonets, Gaubert said, adding he encouraged visitors to tour the E.D. White house and to learn more about their own family history.
Still, Gaubert admits his main reason for carrying a bayonet today is more selfish than it would first seem.
"I derive a lot of satisfaction and fun out of it," Gaubert said. "Ive always liked the outdoors and camping."

Latest from the blog
The Law When It Comes to Smoking in Vans
Make Sure To Be Fully Compliant
Whether you drive a HGV a Transit or a small car and it is used for work purposes you are in danger of breaking the law if you choose to smoke in these vehicles. Your vehicle should also have a no smoking sign on display within each compartment that a person can sit. This sign needs to have a minimum size of 75mm in diameter and clearly indicate that the vehicle is not to be smoked in. The ashtray should be removed if there is one and a smoke free policy introduced to staff. Vehicles conforming to these standards will be compliant no matter what area of the UK they are driving in.
Your Van Leasing & Contract Hire Questions Answered
How Should I Finance my Van?
There are a large number of finance options available when looking to replace your van and our experts are here to help select the finance package that best suits your business needs. Every business is unique so we work to tailor a van leasing package just for you. However, in the interests of simplicity, below we have listed and explained the three main finance options: van leasing, contract hire & lease purchase.
What is leasing?
Van leasing is an increasingly popular method of financing that provides a flexible monthly payment schedule for those who do not want to purchase their van outright in one upfront payment. You get the benefit of driving a brand new van for a low upfront deposit and a monthly payment plan tailored to your requirements and budget. Typically the deposit is the equivalent of three monthly rentals but this can be increased if you would like to put more upfront and then pay less each month. The flexibility at the end of the lease deal is the main advantage of this arrangement. You have the option to continue leasing, hand it back or even buy it outright. Commercial leasing is also a tax efficient method of finance as all associated costs are allowable against your businesses taxable profits
What is contract hire?
Contract hire is actually a type of business leasing. In fact, contract hire is one of the most popular methods of financing a van. Paying a fixed monthly fee is actually one of the main benefits of a hire contract, because it enables you to budget and forecast your funds accurately. It is this control that allows for peace of mind and no nasty hidden costs appearing out of the blue. Other advantages is the elimination of financial risk associated with disposing your van, and receiving road tax each year, whereby never having to take any more trips to the post office for the renewal process.
What is a van lease purchase?
If owning your van is a must, but cannot afford to purchase it outright, then lease purchase is the option for you, particularly when there is absolutely no mileage restrictions... a must when running your own business. With lease purchase, the vehicle's value (when new) is calculated along with the value of the vehicle at the end of the contractual agreement (depreciation). It is this figure you pay off on a monthly basis, but don't forget, you can also place a lump sum down-payment upfront, in order to reduce your monthly costs. A final payment (balloon payment) of the vehicle's value is needed in order to finalise ownership...after that the van is yours!
Is a business lease right for me?
As one of the UK's leading leasing brokers, we have every make and model of commercial vehicle available in the UK today. That means our leasing experts work with you to find a new van that's perfect for your business. We've been trading since 1992 and have worked with almost every business type under the sun! Whether you need a simple panel van or something more specialist such as a refrigerated, crew or tipper van, we can help. Get in touch today.
Deals & Offers
The van negotiation process does not start between us and you (the client), in fact it starts between us, the manufacturer and finance company. This ensures that we can provide you with the best commercial deals from the get go.

Nextday Watches.com has excellent service
AUTHOR: G David Brown - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, August 02, 2010POSTED: Monday, August 02, 2010
My name is G Brown Sr and Im writing this email to inform you of the excellent and efficient service I received from Nextday Watches.com. Previously I had ordered an Invicta Venom Reserve from ShopNBC and the service was absolutely horrible. When I received the watch the packaging was damaged on the inside, the polyurethane band had a flaw and all the paperwork was not included. I tried to call customer service but was left on hold for more than 10 minutes before finally speaking to someone. However, instead of the representative being concerned about my complaint they appeared more concerned with receiving payment, so you can imagine my concern and reluctance about ordering another watch from a company of which I had no knowledge or experience with yet again. I eventually placed an order for an Invicta Rose Gold and Black Venom watch with your company Nextdaywatches.com, but prior to doing so I made sure to do some background research by visiting several sites that provide reviews on customer service performance. During my research I encountered a site called Ripoffreport.com which contained a review from a customer complaining about the bad service theyd received upon ordering a watch from your company. Had I only considered what was on this particular website, I dont think I would have ordered anything from Nextdaywatches.com, however, being the person that I am I felt the need to get more than one persons opinion. I also visited the Better Business Bureau web page and armored with their review of your company I made my decision to place my order. I received my watch promptly and in an immaculate, pristine condition with all the paper work included. For the record I received a much better service from your company than I ever received from ShopNBC. Thank you for your professionalism and excellent customer service. I will continue to order my future watches from your website in the future and without a doubt will recommend your site to all the watch lovers that I know. Once again thank you for your professionalism and excellent customer service!

The Adventures of Cliff Hanger: Cliff Hanger adds a letter in the hope of rescue in Adventure 2,345: Cliff Hanger and the Bed. Cliff Hanger spots two movers carrying a large "ed." He consults his Trusty Survival Manual, which advises him to add a "b" to the front of it. He does and it turns into a bed. He drops down onto it, thinking he's finally rescued, but he just bounces right back up. And that's why he's called Cliff Hanger!
Gawain's Word: "W" and "et" blend together to make the word "wet." The silver and gold knights then dump water on each other.
The new vocabulary for this episode is allowed, hen, permitted, and saxophone.
The target vowel is the short "e" in the word hen.
Buster: Heh heh heh. Now the sign says 'no fun here.'
Walter and Clay: Oh, no fun here? Phooey!
Buster: (singing) Every party has a pooper / That's why I invited me / Party pooper, party pooper. Heh heh heh heh.
Cleo: One 'hopping hen here' sign isn't supposed to have a 'no.' The library welcomes all bouncing poultry.
Cliff Hanger: This is as easy as falling out of bed.
Delivery Man: This is a really interesting library.
Lionel: Oh yeah.
Cleo: Oh, oh, the printer forgot the 'nos.'
Leona: (indicating her nose) I got mine.
Lionel: (singing) Bye bye to peace and quiet / Old laws and regulations.
Lionel: (singing) Pelicans are welcome to jump on the bed / You're really gonna like it here!
Leona: You know, it sort of seems like the rules are -- there are no rules.
Lionel: This place is like, wild. Come on. Let's go check out the rest of the library.
Click: Lionel, Leona. I have been scanning very unusual visual data all over the library.
Leona: (reading a sign) 'Hopping hen here.'
Hen: (clucks hesitantly)
Lionel: Okay, I guess we're ready for you now.
Leona: Breaking bricks is permitted in the library? (gasps)
Lionel: I guess so. It -- it says right here.
Lionel: 'Monkeys on the stair railing?' What a weird rule.
Theo: Cleo, my dear, the signs are here! Hey, that rhymed.
Female Patron: I am an animal lover, but I draw the lion, the line, at chickens jumping on my book!
This is the second episode that does not have a particular book involved.
This is the second episode that has the word hen as the main word.

Ok, when I use the field generator to create a hidden for either post_url, or post_title, what happeens is, it works, but it creates a duplicate, on is named the hidden-XXX (XXX the number that gets assigned) and the other is named post_url and post_title respectively.
Weird, but it works.
So, if I cane the hidden-XXX name to one I want, it stops duplicating, but them stops working altogether (the value is just post_url or post_title)
I have 3 hidden above them using the add_filter method to drop in dynamic variables which all work slenderly.
But this, is driving me nuts.

Brain Cancer Health Center
Adult Brain Tumors Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Treatment Option Overview
Repeat radiation therapy (re-irradiation)
Because there are no randomized trials, the role of repeat radiation after disease progression or the development of radiation-induced cancers is also ill defined. The literature is limited to small retrospective case series, which makes interpretation difficult.[18] The decision to use repeat radiation must be made carefully because of the risk of neurocognitive deficits and radiation-induced necrosis. One advantage of radiosurgery is the ability to deliver therapeutic doses to recurrences that may require the re-irradiation of previously irradiated brain tissue beyond tolerable dose limits.
Systemic chemotherapy
For many years, the nitrosourea carmustine (BCNU) was the standard chemotherapy added to surgery and radiation for malignant gliomas. This was based upon a randomized trial (RTOG-8302) of 467 patients conducted by the Brain Tumor Study Group that compared four regimens after initial resection, including semustine (methyl-CCNU), radiation therapy, radiation therapy plus carmustine, and radiation therapy plus semustine.[19]
The radiation therapy plus carmustine arm had the best survival rate.[19][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A modest impact on survival using nitrosourea-containing chemotherapy regimens for malignant gliomas was confirmed in a patient-level meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials (combined HR death = 0.85; 95% CI, 0.78-0.91).[20]
However, the oral agent, temozolomide, has since replaced the nitrosoureas as the standard systemic chemotherapy for malignant gliomas based upon a large multicenter trial (NCT00006353) of glioblastoma patients conducted by the EORTC-National Cancer Institute of Canada that showed a survival advantage.[21,22][Level of evidence: 1iiA] (Refer to the Glioblastoma section of the Management of Specific Tumor Types and Locations section of this summary for more information.)
Localized chemotherapy
Because malignant glioma-related deaths are nearly always the result of an inability to control intracranial disease (rather than the result of distant metastases), the concept of delivering high doses of chemotherapy while avoiding systemic toxicity is attractive. A biodegradable carmustine wafer has been developed for that purpose. The wafers contain 3.85% carmustine, and up to eight wafers are implanted into the tumor bed lining at the time of open resection, with an intended total dose of about 7.7 mg per wafer (61.6 mg maximum per patient) over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Two randomized, placebo-controlled trials of this focal drug-delivery method have shown an OS advantage associated with the carmustine wafers versus radiation therapy alone. Both trials had an upper age limit of 65 years. The first was a small trial closed because of a lack of continued availability of the carmustine wafers after 32 patients with high-grade gliomas had been entered.[23] Although OS was better in the carmustine-wafer group (median 58.1 vs. 39.9 weeks; P = .012), there was an imbalance in the study arms (only 11 of the16 patients in the carmustine-wafer group vs. 16 of the 16 patients in the placebo-wafer group had Grade IV glioblastoma tumors).

Affero GPL Draft Posted for Discussion
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has completed and posted the final draft of the GNU Affero GPL Version 3 (AGPL).
The Affero GPL is identical with the GNU Public License in Version 3 in most parts, with just one paragraph distinguishing the two licenses: Item 13 Paragraph 1 stipulates that the source code of software used remotely must be made available free of charge. This refers to web applications such as content management systems where users only interact with the front-end. To allow users to view the source code, Affero has developed the Affero GPL in cooperation with FSF.
The first version of the AGPL dates back to the year 2002 and was a modified version of GPLv2. AGPL and GPL have been incompatible since the introduction of GPL Version 3. The current draft is designed to resolve this issue. AGPLv3 is also compatible with the Apache License 2.0.
The discussion concerning AGPLv3 is now on. A date has not been fixed for the final AGPLv3 release.
