After setting up the connection between two post types and then going to the backend and editing the article and trying to search from the p2p metabox for a product the search function doesnt work. I actually had everything setup and working on a different multisite installation and now after migrating the site to a different multisite installation this isnt working. Nothing else has changed. Im thinking there is a db value somewhere that wasnt updated when i made the migration.

Photos: Lennox Lewis, Hearns, Tyson, Others Party it Up
Las Vegas, Nevada - The WBC/Hublot's "Legendary Evening Of Boxing" was a big success, as the two companies raised $1 million dollars for retired fighters. The World Boxing Counil is establishing a pension fund for retired fighters. After the festivities were over, many of the former champions, and even a few active boxers, headed over to the after party at The Bank Nightclub at the Bellagio.
Sucks, I was in vegas this weekend, didnt run into any of them. So how does this pension work? Is that million dollars raised for all the boxers who blew their 200 million dollar fortune on their entourage, yay, and…Comment by TaurusJ27 on 10-01-2012
Could they had raised money for Hasim Rahman also while they were there to keep him out of the ring.Comment by gdub27 on 10-01-2012

After his 'record' summer move to Real Madrid (which turned out to not quite be a record summer move after all), Gareth Bale finds himself under real pressure for the first time as a Galactico, and unfortunately for him it's taken hardly any time at all.
He started off reasonably enough, converting a neat move to score on his debut against Villarreal, but injury has reared its ugly head to stop him from using that momentum to really hit the ground running.
It's a bit unfair that remarks about Bale being 'injury-prone' have resurfaced as a result. He had a great run of fitness at the back end of his Tottenham spell and made the most of it with some absolutely talismanic form.
But the real damage of this setback is not physical. It's mental.
In the past, when Bale has been forced onto the sidelines for however long and for whatever reason, he's been free to get on with his recuperation in relative peace. Now, he is being introduced to the sheer degree of politics and other external factors that big-money players at clubs such as Real Madrid have to deal with.
First there was the peculiar and awkward conflict between Real and Wales boss Chris Coleman over Bale's selection for the final World Cup qualifiers, which proved to be absolutely worthless as he immediately withdrew anyway.
Club v country rows are no new thing to many a top-flight player, but a combination of Bale's profile and the sheer ridiculousness of this particular exchange made it 10 times the unnecessary distraction it should have been for a player who will just be wanting to forget all the expectiatons, get back on the pitch and do what he does best.
It happened all over again when Spanish paper Marca reported that the winger would need back surgery, provoking a high-profile spat with the club who clarified that Bale had a "small chronic disc protrusion" which would not need surgery.
Then there's the predictable debate over when Carlo Ancelotti will start playing Bale again, and whether or not it would be too soon. The huge teams like Real Madrid have a tendency to get their stars back on the pitch sooner rather than later, too. They are, after all, the men who the fans paid all that money to see.
I found as a player that the one upside of being out injured for a while is that you go off the radar for a little while. It allows you to not only rehab the injury, but gather your thoughts and mentally re-boot, if you will, ready to start afresh.
Bale's decision to join Real Madrid, unfortunately, has eradicated any remaining hopes of doing that. His profile and his status just will not allow it. He'll always be the subject of some sort of debate.
It's a shame because he has got this far by being able to avoid such off-the-pitch distractions and focus on his game. I suspect that this alone will not be enough to become a hit at the Bernabeu.
In fact, if he wants to get up to that next level, he has someone to learn from at the club in Cristiano Ronaldo.
People always give Ronaldo a hard time about his ego, and how much he probably hated reports that Bale was more expensive than he was, and also probably liked the fact that it's not the case after all.
But while his mental approach rubs many up the wrong way, his immense confidence has also made him immune to the thunderstorms that club, country, fans and media alike are capable of whipping up around him.
While he can pout and protest with the best of them, Ronaldo does his thing on the pitch no matter what people are doing or saying about him. And Bale needs to be like that, too.
Not just football, but all sports are led by athletes who not only possess the talent, but the state of mind to embrace all of the obstacles thrown up by external factors.
If he can do that, Bale will not only bounce back from this early setback but he will become even better than he was at White Hart Lane.

Skip to comments.VANITY; Islam gave us "Zero".
Posted on 02/10/2011 3:45:34 PM PST by jd777
May I begin, by saying, I love this country, the United States of America, It is the greatest hope in the history of our planet, save the works of the prophets of God. I add that I have never voted for a Democrat - and I probably never will - although JFK did cut taxes and I wish he had lived longer. Also: I believe that we were endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, foremost being the freedom of speech. Jim Robinson, Thank you.
So: If I be banned for what I am about to write, then I be damned.
I ask that the admin's allow me this Post.
Our tremendous pride and the influence of Holy Mother the Church notwithstanding - 1000 years after the birth of Christ - Europe was lost in the midst of a DARK AGE. When Charlemagne was brought to Rome and became the first Holy Roman Emperor- He was unable to read or write- in any language. He was illiterate and so we're all of his kings. Do not ask me to footnote this fact, for I presume the church in ad 800 was not anxious to publicize that their first Holy Roman Emperor could not read.
But how could this be? Well, There was no education. Cast your minds back dear freepers to AD 1000. Before the university in Paris, or Oxford and Cambridge. The only education was offered by the Catholic church and you had to take holy orders to recieve it. The only subjects taught were (1) a tiny bit of Philosophy - all classical philosophy was lost - and (2) Theology. The study of the nature of God. They had conferences where Bishops would literrally discuss how many angels could fit on the head of a pin.
When French scholars in the early 11th centrury went down to Moorish Spain -Al andalus - They were amazed to find the 2nd largest library in the world. The largest library in the world at that time was in Baghdad. The largest library in Christain Europe was in Avignon where they had 2000 volumes. The great Library in Cordoba had 400,000 volumes.There - europeans recived their own heritage back. Jewish scholars in al andalus translated the great works of Socrates, Plato, Aristole, Pythagoras etc FROM ARABIC into European language and gave them to their awestruck visitors.
Forget the books. The hundreds of thousands of Books. For one moment. The building. Of the Library, itself. And the Great Mosque nearby were 1000 times greater than anything ever built to that time in all of Christendom.
Now I'm sure some of you are indignant at reading this, but that can not compare to the vehemence the Pope and his bishops felt at hearing this news. How could this be? 1000 years after Christ's birth? It must have been like the Jews in captivity in Babylon who said to their leaders: "I thought we were the chosen people - what happened? "
What does one do when presented with facts such as this - well, you think fast, in Babylon they wrote the TALMUD - In Rome they cried: "CRUSADE"
The history of the Crusades is beyond the scope of this post- but what did occur is evidenced by what happened in Europe after 1099. Europeans received "zero" from Islam - So the haters cry - and how true - We did not have a "ZERO" in our number system. Arabs gave us "0" - along with all our other arabic numerals. But it didn't stop there. Al-JABR aka Algerbra was received. Basic Calculus and Trignometry. And with that came Engineering - Lost since Ancient Rome. The Templars set about building - and within 150 years they built all the great cathedrals of France - The pointed arches. That they first saw in the great mosque of Cordoba - recapitulated in Chartres. The only buildings in europe after the fall of rome were like stone huts with thick walls. The arabs showed them how to build thin walls that reached up into spires.
But the gifts went on - the Code of Chivalry - a gift of SALADIN. who sent a horse to Richard the lionheart after his own horse died in battle. Courtly Love - sung by the troubadors - really the Taribs of North Africa. Medicine - My god, Medicine. If you were injured during the crusades pray you had an arab doctor - because there was no medicine in Europe. The arabs gave us "the Canon of Medicine" - It was taught for 500 years in European Universities - after it was given to us. But you tell me - who wrote the Canon of Medicine? Please, look it up
So, if parts of the Islamic world have now experienced their own dark age. May we not return the favor? Was not the legacy of the Knights Templar the two riders on the same horse? That we fought together, but we were brothers all along and knew it not? Are not we all the Children of Abraham?
Therefore, I plead for peace,
In closing I wish to say. God Bless the United States of America. The Constitution of our great nation. and the memory of our first true conservative Thomas Jefferson.
and oh yeah, go TEA PARTY!
I am calling for Obamas resignation.
Most of the positional base 10 numeral systems in the world have originated from India, where the concept of positional numerology was first developed. The Indian numeral system is commonly referred to in the West as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system or even Arabic numerals, since it reached Europe through the Arabs.
A decimal place system has been traced back to ca. 500 in India. Before that epoch, the Brahmi numeral system was in use; that system did not encompass the concept of the place-value of numbers. Instead, Brahmi numerals included additional symbols for the tens, as well as separate symbols for hundred and thousand.
The Indian place-system numerals spread to neighboring Persia, where they were picked up by the conquering Arabs. In 662, a Nestorian bishop living in what is now called Iraq said:
I will omit all discussion of the science of the Indians ... of their subtle discoveries in astronomy - discoveries that are more ingenious than those of the Greeks and the Babylonians - and of their valuable methods of calculation which surpass description. I wish only to say that this computation is done by means of nine signs. If those who believe that because they speak Greek they have arrived at the limits of science would read the Indian texts they would be convinced even if a little late in the day that there are others who know something of value.
The addition of zero as a tenth positional digit is documented from the 7th century by Brahmagupta, though the earlier Bakhshali Manuscript, written sometime before the 5th century, also included zero. But it is in Khmer numerals of modern Cambodia is where the first extant material evidence of zero as a numerical figure, dating its use back to the seventh century, is found.[4]
As it was from the Arabs that the Europeans learned this system, the Europeans called them Arabic numerals; ironically, to this day the Arabs refer to their numerals as Indian numerals. In academic circles they are called the Hindu-Arabic or Indo-Arabic numerals.
When they stop wanting to kill me when they see my yarmulke, we can have a discussion.
Before you get banned, :-) thanks for the post. Husband and I were discussing the Crusades tonight at dinner. Amazed at how neither of us knew much about the history during this time. Going to start on some heavy reading.
Dear Islam,
What have you done for the world lately, but to harm it. Time to get over what was, and focus on what is..
re: the Crusades.
Islamic jihad conquered the Byzantine Empire. The Crusades were a minor counterattack.
The real legacy of the crusades are the stories that appeared shortly thereafter of "A quest for the Holy Grail".
If the catholic church had granted salvation - and you could just go down to the local church receive communion and be saved - why was it necessary for these knights to go out to seek some missing religious icon?
enjoy reading - and don't forget to learn of Saladin and Richard the Lionheart.
And alas, now we Americans have received ZerO from Islam.
Look JD, the history of accomplishments in the Islamic world 1000 years ago is interesting, but it's completely irrelevant to the fact that hundreds of millions of modern Muslims aim to destroy civilization.
And whatever miraculous technological acumen the middle east could boast 2,000 years ago, it hasn't advanced much over that time. It remains mired in a mentality that western civilization overcame at least 500 years ago.
THAT is the "gift" islam has wrought.
The first book published on movable type (a western invention, by the way) was a Bible. Music as we know it today arose from Gregorian chants that praised God. Theater was an offshoot of Passion Plays that depicted various scenes from biblical history. And the triumph of individual dignity over the oppression of tyrants arose because every human is possessed of a spark of the Divine.
THOSE are the gifts of Judeo-Christianity.
Equivalency denied.
The Muslims take credit for a lot of things that they discovered after they conquered a people. In truth, they're idiots.
Islam does not Equal Arab!
In the past - ARABS have gifted Western Civilization with priceless knowledge.
What good has islam done for the world lately?
Thank you for reading - And I do take your point, But perhaps if history doesn't repeat. It rhymes - 1000 years later its still the same: They're not going away - and neither are we. So....
Oh, and the more I learn about Thomas Jefferson the less I like him.
So, idiot, what have you supposedly learned that foments such a dislike for Jefferson within you?
......We did not have a "ZERO" in our number system. Arabs gave us "0" - along with all our other arabic numerals.....
Indian mathematics emerged in the Indian subcontinent[1] from 1200 BCE [2] until the end of the 18th century. In the classical period of Indian mathematics (400 AD to 1200 AD), important contributions were made by scholars like Aryabhata, Brahmagupta, and Bhaskara II. The decimal number system in use today[3] and the binary number system[4] were first recorded in Indian mathematics.[5] Indian mathematicians made early contributions to the study of the concept of zero as a number,[6] negative numbers,[7] arithmetic, and algebra.[8] In addition, trigonometry[9] was further advanced in India, and, in particular, the modern definitions of sine and cosine were developed there.[10] These mathematical concepts were transmitted to the Middle East, China, and Europe[8] and led to further developments that now form the foundations of many areas of mathematics.

There are no Arabic numerals. It's a misnomer.
Even the Arabs call them The Hindu Numerals
You need to check your "facts".
But he wrote our Declaration of Independence. A rather substantial contribution, no?
It sounded better than: Islam gave us "the Canon of Medicine"
Anyway - I gotta go, I'll be back in XX minutes ;)
Incomplete and selective history is self-serving history, often revised by islam, which claims everything under the sun was "discovered" or invented by them.
To POST self-serving revisionist history is...self serving. My question is why?
>Time to get over what was, and focus on what is..<
Dear H.D.
No way. Why move to the 21st century when the Koran was written in the 7th? Convert or die!
Actually, "crusade" was the reply to "jihad."
In your rush to credit all things good to islam you completely omitted Constantinople and the eastern Roman empire. That city retained much of Rome (art, science, medicine , architecture, etc.) that was lost in the west and it served as a jumping-off point for many of the Crusades. It must have been a major eye-opener for the Franks.
My contention is that islam picked the bones of the civilizations it overran and didn't originate much.
ping for later comments,
There were probably many "civilizations" that were lost along with the knowledge they had amassed. Either the evidence is under ground, or, more likely, under water.
Regardless, from what I can tell, this vanity doesn't really touch on the harm caused by the spread of Islam. Will that be a subject for a future post?
They sure did — Zero's in the White House.
But seriously, zero was "invented" in India, and borrowed from there by the Muzzies.
The Maya also had zero.
Many finer homes have the Subzero.
Islam gave us nothing but misery.
Greek scholars kept as muslim slaves gave us the the mathematics and science that the muslims claim as theirs.
Great point - And thank you. What about Algebra? Where did it come from?
who was Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī?
Maybe you heard different?
Nobody else will reply - and you are perhaps the brightest poster I saw on this thread _and I respect you - so I'll ask you a question. Who were the Cathars and why were they killed?
PS. People forget that the Eastern Roman Empire survive until 1453. It just didn't share with the descendants of those who sacked Rome.
"And the Great Mosque nearby were 1000 times greater than anything ever built to that time in all of Christendom."
An update to that, would it surprise you that there was a massive Christian church at the time, have you ever heard of "Hagia Sophia?" or the Church of the Holy Wisdom or Holy Spirit of God? That was the BIG church at the time during the dark ages.
Plus now, we have the internet to back-up as a way to fight against such "bs".
Also in Alexandra Egypt, there is a new Great Library and as a matter of fact, there are young people who are guarding it against any possible trouble.
The Cathars (not the name they chose for themselves, by the way) were a dualistic pseudo-Christian sect that flourished in medieval France. They were heavily persecuted by the Catholic Church, resulting in their virtual eradication during the Albigensian Crusade.
They were exterminated because their theology was inconsistent to the point of heresy with the ruling religious authority of the time.
That was in the Thirteenth Century.
On Sept. 11, 2001, a band of muslime madmen hijacked four jet aircraft and crashed them into a variety of fixed objects, resulting in the deaths of at least 3,000 innocent Americans. Then there were the London subway bombings, the assaults in Mumbai, the Bali bombings, the Madrid bombings, and a host of other murders.
Those were yesterday.
Equivalency denied. Again.
Thanks for responding.
However, Can I refer you to one contribution that the Europeans received and used for over 600 years in Europe for the benefit of our Civilization
It was called "The canon of Medicine"
From Wiki:
a 14-volume medical encyclopedia compiled by Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna) and completed in 1025.[3] It presents a clear and organized summary of all the medical knowledge of the time.[4] Originally written in the Persian and Arabic language, the book was later translated into a number of other languages, including Latin, Chinese, Hebrew, German, French, and English.[5] The Canon is considered one of the most famous books in the history of medicine.[6]
Health! JD
Have you heard of the Roman physician Galen? His works were studied until the 19th century.
From the 11th century onwards, Latin translations of Islamic medical texts began to appear in the West, Among those was ibn Sina's Canon of Medicine and the the much earlier Work of Galen et al.
But they were received back to Europe - translated from Arabic.
And how about that Pope Benedict and his "hunky" (not my word) private secretary?
Seems like everybody in power has their own body man aka "Reggie Love".
Nice crabwalk and attempt at a bait an switch...too bad the british buggery was between MEN , not MEN and BOYS which is STILL an islamic tradition....
Which is ironic seeing as the penalty under sharia law for homosexuality is Death.
Maybe you heard different?
WinTheFuture are you talking about?
My job?
Heard different? About what?
You posted a vanity and invited discussion.
I made a post and asked you a question.
Where did the muslims get their versions? From the Byzantines - a.k.a. Eastern Roman Empire. The returning crusaders were heavily influenced by Constantinople.
The one positive aspect of the muslim conquests was their imposing a single language over a huge geographic area which facilitated the spread of ideas from east to west.
Thank you for reading and responding to my post. I appreciate your input. Cheers, JD

SUBMITTED: Thursday, May 23, 2013POSTED: Thursday, May 23, 2013
I responded to an ad for an a/c tune-up by Air Care Solutions. I had the same problem with my a/c before and knew it was just low on freon. When the 2 guys arrived, the lead tech, Adam, checked and told me I was down 2 lbs. One lb of freon was included with the service. Instead of selling me the additional freon, he tried to sell me additional parts that were working fine. Then, while I was inside at the air handler with Adam, the second guy supposedly put the included 1 lb of freon in.
After the service, we had some cool weather, so I didn't have to use my a/c for a couple of weeks. When I turned it on again, the problem was exactly the same. I called another company for a second opinion. They found my system to be 2 lbs low, so even the included 1 lb had not been put in, but everything else was working fine. I was sold what I needed and all is working.
When I called to complain, and ask for a refund, I was turned down. The customer no-service manager, Anna Morales, could not have cared less about the situation. Avoid this company at all costs.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

ALMA -- The Sweet Springs and Santa Fe football teams both went down to the wire last week.
While one club couldn't have asked for a better finish, the other couldn't have had a worse one. Junior Nathan Vogelsmeier returned a punt 90 yards with 35 seconds remaining to give the Greyhounds a 34-30 decision over Orrick, while the Chiefs blew a 19-point lead in the second half and allowed Concordia to score on a touchdown pass with 20 seconds to go during a 28-25 loss.
"It was a tough one," admitted Santa Fe head coach Andy Frerking. "Ultimately, the good news is that it isn't our last game."
The Chiefs host I-70 Conference rival Sweet Springs for their Homecoming on Friday, and are facing a foe which is peaking in confidence following back-to-back wins after opening the season with three straight losses.
For both teams this is a chance to avoid the Class 1, District 4 cellar -- and a potential first-round meeting with third-ranked powerhouse Tipton --when the tournament begins.
"I honestly think we could do it," noted head coach Mel Baker about the 'Hounds' prospects for rising up the ladder and into the fourth seed for a home game. "We could surprise a lot of people at the end."
"For us to have a chance to get a home game, we'll have to win out," Frerking conceded about Santa Fe's chances, having already lost to Crest Ridge and Concordia -- two of the three teams standing between its current seventh seed and fourth. "That will be a tall order."
For the Chiefs (2-3, 1-3 I-70) dealing with Sweet Springs' spread passing attack will be a challenge. A converted tight end, senior quarterback Derrick Nelson threw for 276 yards, completing 18 of 31 attempts.
"We've got to do a good job of getting to the passer," Frerking said. "We haven't done that very well against those types of offenses."
"We're just going to do that the rest of the year, so be ready," Baker warned. "It's either going to be pretty or ugly."
Meanwhile, the 'Hounds (2-3, 1-2) are dealing with their own defensive demons, stopping misdirection offenses -- like Santa Fe's double-wing under the able command of senior Matt Bodenhamer.
"They like to do a lot of crossing and pulling," Baker explained. "It can be pretty tough at times unless we have a back side looking for the reverse."
"We've just got to take care of the football and not turn it over," Frerking said about the area in which Santa Fe has most struggled on offense. "We're physical enough up front that we can establish the run."
Two different approaches, and two teams with momentum going different directions. Now more than halfway through the regular season, two teams that need to get on a roll.
"There's still a lot of football left," Frerking noted.
SLATER -- Slater thought it had a good chance of picking up its first Lewis and Clark Conference win in two years last week at Fayette.
Unfortunately, the Purple dug itself a 21-0 hole and, despite twice closing to within a score, was unable to climb out during a 41-26 loss.
"We made some adjustments and the kids responded really well," asserted Wildcats head coach Chris Ferri. "We say kids get a lot better in the second half."
Slater needs to leave its shovels in the shed Friday against defending league champion Salisbury (5-0, 1-0 L&C), which comes in ranked second in the Class 1 poll. The 'Cats (1-4, 0-1) haven't won in this series since taking a 22-20 road decision in 2007 and were throttled 66-0 to end the '11 campaign.
The Panthers have "size, speed and discipline," according to Ferri, the last of which is critical in handling Slater's double-wing offense.
"They've been running [the 4-4 stack defense] forever," Ferri said of a Salisbury gang which has only allowed 13 points this season. "They stay at home, are very gap-oriented and handle their responsibilities."
Despite an injury to all-conference quarterback Austin Francis, senior Austin Wyatt has capability filled the void. Of course, he's helped by the Panthers' strong run game, led by strong and shifty senior Jake Latamondeer.
"He's very quick, compact and runs low to the ground," Ferri said. "He hits the hole quick and is hard to see."
The biggest factor working against the 'Cats may be Salisbury's tradition.
"They've had a lot of success," Ferri said. "They've learned from past classes how to win."
For Slater, which has never reached the playoffs, that's been a harder to achieve -- but Ferri said his players "are feeling very confident."
"We've got everything we need to be a great team," he claimed.

"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there's no social function for it."
"The passenger pigeons were the most numerous birds that ever lived in the history of the planet. It's almost disturbing how numerous- billions upon billions of birds. It was a fecundity that was almost disgusting. I started thinking about a blame-the-victim kind of attitude you could take to that...to make it seem like they had it coming, that there was this disgusting empire of birds and that it was corrupt like Rome...that it was bound to fall. So I invest the passenger pigeons with every kind of sin that I can imagine. And the bough, this gigantic branch, is falling under their tremendous weight. Meanwhile they go about their bickering and their lusts and foibles and all the disgusting things that they are doing."

For my website, I created my own search-engine (because it's not totally word-pressed, there is also some own made stuff).
Now, when I query the wp database, words with special characters (like è é ë ê etcetera) look very strange:
for example:
in stead of:
I gues this had something to do with character encoding or something. I don't know much about that, and I can't find out why the articles displayed in wordpress doesn't contain the strange characters.
Anyone has a idea how I can fix this problem?

A fire causes around $100,000 worth of damage to a home in the Redlands.
The fire broke out just before 2:00a.m. at 571 Meadowlark Lane.
Fire officials say they had to use two hoses and cut a hole in the roof and remove the ceiling in four rooms just to get the flames out.
There was one person home when the fire started, he says he doesn't know how he work up, but he was able to and got out of the house safely. they woke up to the smell of smoke and got out unharmed.
There was a smoke detector in the house but officials say it wasn't working and didn't go off.
Fire fighters say the fire was likely caused when a chimney fire ignited combustibles in the attic.
A 12 inch water lizard also survived the fire..

Renovations began in January on the George D. Widener Education & Visitor Center. The project includes the expansion of the building's main entrance, and the installation of automatic front doors that will comply with ADA standards for accessible design. The entrance will also be more stroller friendly, making it easier for families to navigate the building.
Visitor Center Plaza
In addition to the improvements being made to the building itself, the surrounding plaza will also be enlarged and enhanced.A new 30x30 area will provide a larger gathering space for tours, and will help reduce congestion on high visitation days. The larger terrace will also feature sitting walls and benches toprovide additional seating.
Membership Kiosk
The membership kiosk will be relocated within the plaza and will be expanded to enable staff to welcome visitors more efficiently. New plantings will be added. When finished, the area will provide a pleasant, relaxing space for visitors to gather and linger.
Closure and Visitor Access
The Shop at Morris Arboretum will remain closed until construction is completed toward the end of March. Visitors and those enrolled in classes may encounter inconveniences which we apologize for in advance. The Visitor Center remains open for programs (like classes) and conveniences. Look for signage indicating an alternative entrance.
Special Thanks
Morris Arboretum wishes to thank longtime Arboretum friend, Edith Dixon for making these enhancements possible. This attractive new area will allow the Arboretum to accommodate a broader audience and its improved functioning will enhance the experience of every visitor.

Best Uses
I use my HD600 to monitor audio levels in the work environment. But my work environment is a little different than that of the office worker. My "office" is a tent, in the middle of nowhere, supporting the U.S. Marine Corps. The HD600 gives me the information I need to make recommendations to protect the hearing of America's 911 Force.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

They got a really good percentage rate of 2%, which has made my bill dramatically go down, and much faster than the original 5 year repayment time they stated. Anyhow, I have had problems every once in awhile like everyone else with late payments, and a couple missed payments. It appears I am in better shape than others as I am only missing one 660.00 payment that was to be paid in 10/08. I have constantly been on them with making sure my payments arrived. I even set up alerts with my credit card company online to alert me when a payment was missed or paid. I would start calling them right away every month. the payment would then finally get paid, although late. I have to say after reading everyone elses posts that I am thankful that my credit card company has been so cooperative with me, they never charged me a late fee, and haven't raised my interest rate thankfully. They did say they would knock me off the debt management program if not paid.
I was missing one payment which was determined to be the 7/08 payment,and the 8/08 payment was late. They paid out both on 10/1/08.
Like everyone else I wasn't notified that ADC was taking over until Igot a letter telling me the beginning of October. ADC has already made my first payment to them to my credit card company so I guess I am hoping for the best.
I tried to get my company to just deal with me as I only have a few more months to pay off my debt, but they refused saying my interest rate would be jacked back up. I think I might actually try again using the information that FCCC has gone out of business and stolen my one month payment.
I may also look into filing with the attorney generals office, and may even look into it for my state as well as Florida.
If anyone else knows of anything else that can be done I would surely appreciate to hear about it.

Wake me up after the November election.
Good morning, megaRushDoesPostNewHampshireCommetsdittos from Biggirl!:)=^..^=
Right now, I'm praying for someone to jump into the race that I can really support. Namely, "Place me in a drug induced coma until 2016".
Jonah Goldberg: The most persuasive case for Romney has always been that if hes the nominee, the election will be a referendum on Obama. But that calculation always assumed that rank-and-file Republicans will vote for their nominee in huge numbers no matter what. That may well still be the case, but it feels less guaranteed every day. Every four years, pundits and activists talk about how cool it would be to have a brokered convention. This is the first time I can remember where people say it may be necessary. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2831460/posts
Michelle Malkin: Michael Corleone said to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. But what, pray tell, do we do with our frenemies? This is the awful election-year quandary of movement conservatives. And everything you need to know about our heartache can be summed up in one image: 2008 presidential election loser John McCain and Mitt Romney together on the campaign trail. [.....] A career politician for the past 30 years, McCain set the stage for the suicidal anti-capitalist rhetoric now polluting the GOP primary. Four years ago this month, during a GOP primary debate held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, it was McCain up on stage denigrating Romneys private-sector experience. Asked whether he thought Romneys record as CEO made him qualified to lead, McCain snarked: I know how to lead. I led the largest squadron in the United States Navy. And I did it out of patriotism, not for profit.

Since I'll probably be labeled as fatalistic, I'd better keep my mouth (or fingers) shut.

Perplexing but true: Mitt Romney is on the glide path to the most easily secured nomination a Republican presidential candidate has ever had while being one of the weakest major candidates either party has ever seen.
Paul will certainly stay in it with Romney all the way. Somebody has to. And that is not good news for the Republican Party, which will have to reckon with possibly ill-behaved Paul delegates at the convention in Tampa in August delegates who might heckle Romney from the floor and otherwise disrupt his coronation.

Palin: GOP better not marginalize Ron Paul and his supporters

Iran is scary, and we don't have the proper person in power to deal with this situation. Truly am concerned about what is going on over there.
Hope he clarifies his "Newt" comments a bit today. It seems like everyone had a different take on what he said yesterday.
get your butt up...you got strawberries in the ground, melons on the vine,hummingbirds on the honeysuckle,and
Freepers on your right and left
Huge Palin supporter, here, but I will never, and I do mean with every fiber of soul, never support Ron Paul. His foreign policy is neither something I can accept, nor abide by.
I hope he sticks by what he says.
The party can start now. :)
BTW, I see Perry's debate performances paid off accordingly, last night.
New Hampstershire barf vote bump.
Yhea... The 'rats are "playing" rushbo's "Operation $HRILLary" on the GOP. Ggrrrrr. :O
It's as if they were confused and thought they were supposed to be picking the WORST candidates (though in that case, Paul and Romney's numbers should reverse).

I thought it was pretty funny...
It's like I always sometimes say. Dictatorships prove that people need to choose their own leaders. Democracies prove that people are too stupid to choose good leaders.
Thanks for that word of encouragement. ;-)
Right now I feel more like, "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right."
Me neither. Palin was talking about not ignoring "his supporters". She doesn't support him personally.
But, to veer off a little, a case has come before the USSC that has some of the Justices angry and appalled. It is the one where the EPA threatened property owners with catastrophic fines without letting them go to court before the fines were assessed.
Does anyone believe that most of the candidates for President will seriously do anything about rogue agencies like the EPA? Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty of letting this agency abuse and terrorize citizens with little or no oversight.
I simply don't believe that any of them will be able to bring an abusive governmental bureaucracy under control, nor will they make any serious effort to do so.
Dittos. If we wanted a candidate who blames America for everything, we would just stick with Obama.
Don't hold your breath. Stubborn pride to the point of deafness/blindess is Rush's Achilles Heel.
Ronald Reagan wouldn't have been thrilled with the messed up manner in which Gingrich tried to expose Romney's lack of business ethics, though we all need to remember how Reagan felt about Romney's father: he considered him a destructive moderate to be kept far away from the halls of power in the GOP.
But I think Reagan would have given Rush a good swift kick in the ass for the aid he gave Romney and the damage he did to Newt yesterday.
Newt blew it, but Rush blew it ten times worse.
And Rush will never, ever allow himself to perceive it. He's humble before God, and I admire him for that -- but after nearly 20 years of listening to and admiring Rush, it's nonetheless obvious that Rush is incapable of being rightly humbled before mere mortals.
It's not fair that some people have no say on who they want to be the next President. Romney it is I guess.
Ok. I'm an LSU fan, but this from my brother made me laugh:
Hey bro...Channel 9 has been reporting that the LSU Tigers are stuck in New Orleans. Someone painted a 50 yard line on I-10 and the Tigers don't know how to cross it!!
I don't know why we let the GOP establishment manipulate a RINO into the nomination against the base's will, every single time with the exception of Reagan. We need to mount a serious revolt about the structure of the primary process.
Any trolls out there?
Honestly? Yes, I think Gingrich would, because Gingrich -- for all his flaws -- gets the Constitution, Gingrich is capable of saying "I blew it, I made a mistake" (as in Global Warming hooey), and as someone else pointed out on another thread, Gingrich certainly did more to actually advance and implement the Reagan revolution than any other candidate in the race.
Reagan said that if the candidate agrees with you 75 or 80 percent of the time, go for it. I don't even see Romney at 5 percent, so he flunks that test with a capital F; Romney has never admitted he was wrong about anything, he has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advanding government at every turn, and with it advancing an amoral liberal social agenda.
Gingrich -- he passes, maybe with a C-, but he passes, and he's got a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advancing things that seriously helped make a better America in the vision of Reagan.
Good grief -- if ever the old saying "Don't let the perfect make an enemy of the good" made sense, it's now.
For folks who are in a hurry, just read the last two paragraphs.
Mittens compared himself to 0bama?
Just great...
Well said. Hope Rush is reading your posts ;)
I feel defeated again! A change is a must but it won't happen for a long time. We can hope he picks a good VP and has the guts to rip Barry to shreds.
Sarah Palin isn't endorsing Ron Paul. She's lending support to his fiscal policies and those Paul supporters who subscribe to them.
Back and forth at an office birthday party. I baked the cake, made red velvet truffles and oreo truffles, so I have to miss a lot of rush running back and forth. :( Not getting to enjoy the thread or trolls (or lackthereof).
Birds of a feather....
He knows just like McCain that Mittens is a pale reflection of Obama. Mitt will keep Obamacare,nominate Liberal judges,and increase Gov't scope and size. The GOP elite have gotten the best of Conservatives and Tea Partiers so far.....We NEED TO STOP ROMNEY!
I'm just shocked that Rush is so upset over this Newt/Romney thing. Maybe he doesn't think Romney would be so bad. But, come on, Romney has a huge attack machine that's been working overtime. He's moderate to liberal and yet Newt is taking heat from him for this piddly maneuver. Is it just me?
I have no problem with what Mittens did at Bain Capital but to compare it with what 0bama to GM and Chrysler is idiotic.
I agreed with your today's comments yesterday. Today I do not.....I listened to Tom Marr this mornin and then googled to secure facts about Bain......
Romney et al were no more corporate raiders than I'm an Asian Aviator.
What, in fact Bain did to Staples, Dominoes and the too long mentioned Newt assertion added 10's of thousands of jobs.
In fact, Bain was a model of needed corporate capitalism
I think you are listening to what you think you want to hear and not what he is saying, or you are listening to what you think others are saying about it
Hi everybody. In late; I've got two nice guys here replacing my horrible old carpet with pretty wood laminate.
Thank you, Jane -- but I won't be holding my breath!
And Heart, Rush will say that he's "clarifying" what he said yesterday about Newt, but you can bet hard, cold cash that in reality, he will merely be very defensive and even a little bit whiny. I love my Rush, I know my Rush, and I think he deserves a smack upside the head for yesterday's Kick-Newt-and-give-aid-and-comfort-to-Romney show. Reagan would have been more disgusted with Rush than he would have been with Newt, I think.
We shall see about that. I'm not willing to throw in the towel yet.

It's ok, I guess05/19/2011
I grew up in New Orleans and love New Orleans nightlife. Banks Street Bar is one of the few places I'd never been. My boyfriend and I had just moved in the neighborhood on Murat St. We walked over to Banks St on a weekday afternoon. And I don't really know what it exactly was, but we just felt REALLY unwelcome. The bartender was rude, the bar patrons were rude. They only had 4 customers, but we waited 10min. for a beer. I didn't even feel like staying for one drink. When we were walking out the door, some old guys at the bar screamed ""au revoir!"". In 35 years in New Orleans, 15 years in the service industry, and countless parties, live music, bars, and restaurants, I've never felt that my business was so unwanted. I'll never go back.

Who doesn't love bananas? It is said that the average American eats 27 pounds of bananas each year, more than apples and oranges combined. An excellent source of dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, vitamins and potassium, bananas are also low in calories and contain no sodium, fat or cholesterol.
Bananas are tasty on their own, but sometimes we crave them in sweet treats like cakes, breads, cookies, muffins and such. When prepared this way, the nutrition value lessens, so remember to splurge in moderation.

Judah: Hopkins Showed I Have To Annihilate Young Foes
Zab Judah has every good reason to head into the 19th world title fight of his long and storied career confident he can dethrone rising star Danny Garcia and win back the unified light-welterweight title at the age of 35.
Judah looked a fading force when he was stopped in the fifth round by Amir Khan in July 2011, but bounced back in March last year with a stunning stoppage win over previously unbeaten Vernon Paris.
And now Judah heads into his challenge to 140lb king Garcia - best known for conquering Khan in July last year - having been convinced by Bernard Hopkins' recent exploits that age is just a number.
Hopkins - 13 years' Judah's senior - recently made history by claiming the IBF version of the world light-heavyweight title over Tavoris Cloud at the age of 48, and the fast-talking Judah believes he too is on the verge of scoring a notable success for the sport's old guard.
Judah said: "I respect Danny as a champion and he has youth on his side. But the old man [Hopkins] showed you what to do, and that's to go in and annihilate these young boys.
"When I train I train as if I'm fighting Mike Tyson or Muhammad Ali. When you get your mindset like this you run into nothing but flying colours. I'm sure Danny's going to come down here swinging his hooks, but I'm going to be super-ready."
Judah's extraordinary and often controversial world title career started when he won the IBF light-welterweight title over Jan Piet Bergman in February 2000, and made a subsequent defence against a young Junior Witter at Hampden Park.
Unified title losses to Kostya Tszyu, Cory Spinks and Floyd Mayweather all threatened to derail Judah's top-level future, but in each bout he did enough to convince the pay-per-view moguls to give him another shot.
Judah's win over Paris in what was billed as an eliminator for Garcia's title has left him with a chance to win back his crowns - and he has plenty of incentive as the April 27 contest takes place at the Barclays Center in his beloved home city of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn was also the venue for Judah's shock win over Paris and he added: "When they told me I was fighting in Brooklyn against an undefeated fighter like Paris I was excited.
"It's the opportunity that gets me. Having unified the titles at welterweight and coming back down to do it at 140lbs, that's beautiful for me. It's the opportunity that counts, not the person or the situation.
"I am ready for this fight and I am not going to let anyone down. I am a whole different fighter with a whole different style to Amir Khan. Danny Garcia is going to find himself in a whole different fight."
