While I was away from my home for a few days, ING had a Realtor criminally break into my home and change my locks! No eviction, no nothing, just break in and change locks. Where are we living, the Kremlin? What ever happened to due process of law? ING was required to get a writ of possession before entering my property. I live in a gated community, and now the HOA won't let me on the premises because they say they are being pressured by the bank/realtor not to let me in. My home is in the name of the bank, as they did complete the foreclosure process to that point, but there was never any eviction (due to the pending litigation)!
ING's business practices are third rate. Their customer service is from India or Pakistan, and they routinely think they are above the law. Now my lawsuit will include the realtor, the HOA, and the Sheriff dept for ignoring the fact that there was no 'writ of possession.'
ING sucks a mortgage servicing. They're always making mistakes, misapplied payments, lying, cheating, and now they commit fraud in the foreclosure process as well. Is this how they spend my bailout money? Someones going to pay!

Matthysse-Dallas Sells 1,137 Tickets, Does $117K Gate
by David P. Greisman
The Jan. 26 card featuring a main event of Lucas Matthysse vs. Mike Dallas Jr. had 1,137 tickets sold and another 376 given away for free, according to figures provided by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Another 145 tickets went unsold.
The 10-fight card — held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and aired on Showtime and Showtime Extreme — pulled in a total gate of $116,925. That is an average of $102.84 per ticket sold.
Matthysee scored a first-round knockout over Dallas, bringing the increasingly hyped junior welterweight's record to 33-2 with 31 knockouts and 1 no contest, according to BoxRec.com. Dallas fell to 19-3-1 with 8 knockouts.
Dallas was a replacement for Henry Lundy, who was unable to face Matthysse due to a dispute with his promoter.
Matthysse-Dallas did better at the box office than Matthysse's previous bout in Las Vegas. Matthysse's Sept. 8 bout with Olusegun Ajose — which was thrust into the main event after Devon Alexander's bout with Randall Bailey got postponed.
Matthysse-Ajose sold only 377 tickets and had another 810 given away, for a total gate of $65,675. Another 1,336 tickets went unsold for that card.

I was once talking with a friend of mine who happens to be a photographer and he was telling me that one of the most important aspects of photography is not necessarily the camera or the subject, but the lighting. And in reality the same can be said about working with 3D inside of Illustrator. In fact, we're going to talk about two different settings here that control the final result of what your artwork looks like. One of them is the surface properties, meaning what materials your object is made up. Is it a very shiny or glossy or highly reflective material? Is it a matte or flat surface that doesn't reflect light so much? Things like that. And also ultimately the light that you shine on your object.
To better demonstrate these particular features, I'm going to be using this Frisbee example and I'm going to be using a Revolve setting, just because it happens to be that this shape has lots of curves and settings that really show off some of the settings that you can't really see when you use an Extrude setting. But everything that we learn here with lighting and shading that applies to the Revolve effect also applies to the Extrude effect as well. So I'm going to start by selecting this object. I'm actually going to move my artboard a little bit to the left here, so I have some room to see the dialog box. I'm going to choose Effect > 3D and then I'll choose Revolve. I'll click on the Preview button and now you can see my Frisbee right here. Now you can see over here in the bottom where it says Surface, right now it's using something called Plastic Shading.
In fact you will find four options for shading inside of an Illustrator. One called Wireframe, No Shading, Diffuse Shading and then the final one, which is being used right now called Plastic Shading. But these four settings are really just the tip of the iceberg. I'm going to come over here to this button that says More Options. I'm going to click on it to reveal the entire surface area that I can see here for controlling the shading of my 3D objects inside of Illustrator. Let's start with the basic option here called Wireframe. Wireframe basically just gives me the actual wireframe that was created to create the geometry of that 3D shape. It's pretty cool and there can be many cool graphic applications for using these wireframes. Now you can't actually change the actual stroke width of these objects, in order to do so you will need to actually apply the 3D Revolve effect and then expand it. In doing so you will get all the strokes that you could change to anything you want to, just like you can adjust regular artwork inside of an Illustrator.
However, by default Illustrator always uses the quarter point's width for this particular stroke that is using to draw these wireframes. When you choose the Wireframe option, there are no other additional options available. Let's take a look at the next one. It's called No Shading at all. Now, No Shading just simply uses just the regular plain solid fill that you have used to apply it overall to the entire object. Now it looks like nothing here, but again if I go and I click OK right now and I expand my artwork, I'll have all the geometry that I could use to shade on my own. Again, this option might be useful if I wanted to maybe bring this artwork into Flash or I want be able to apply shading using gradients or something else for that matter.
However, the two settings that you use most often are probably going to be these two right here: Diffuse Shading and Plastic Shading. If you think about this, for example, the Diffuse Shading is simply a matte object or an object that has a flat surface or I would say not a reflective surface. And then the Plastic Shading basically refers to an object that has a reflective surface. Think of plastic or glass or metal or something like that. So let's first take a look at the Plastic Shading, which happens to be the default setting inside of Illustrator. The first thing you will notice is this little box here on the left side over here which actually controls the light that you are shining on to your object. Notice that you have this sphere which represents your object. Again, think of the same thing as this cube that you have right here, but in this case it's a sphere. And you have a single light that is now shining from the upper right-hand corner of the object directly on to the object itself.
The settings for this light appears on the right side over here. For example, right now, where it says Light Intensity, it's set to 100%. But if I wanted to kind of pull back some of that light, I wanted to make it that the light was not as bright but maybe a little bit more dim than it is right now, I could change the Intensity down to maybe 50%. If you take a look over here, I hit the Tab key to accept that value. I no longer have a bright object; my object kind of got a bit darker, notice, because I don't have a bright enough light hitting that particular object. Let me change the Intensity here back to 100% to bring it back to where it was before.
Now you also have the ability to control the brightness of all surfaces uniformly or what we call the Ambient Light. For example, choosing 100% brightens up the entire object overall, but doesn't let me really see the detail of the shading. Again, I'll return the Ambient setting back to 50%. Now the Highlight Intensity over here basically determines how intense that highlight is on the shape itself. If you want to think about a light that I'm shining on the object, do I have a light that basically expands a lot? Or think about the difference between maybe a floodlight and a spotlight. A floodlight might throw the light across the entire surface of my object, but a spotlight might aim light directly in a certain area.
A high Highlight Intensity would act more like a spotlight where as a low Intensity would actually act more like floodlight. I can also control the Highlight Size, which would again control how big that highlight is or if I look at a Frisbee over here, this area that's being seen right here as the highlight. Finally, at the bottom of the list here is something called Blend Steps. This is an incredibly important setting when using 3D inside of Illustrator. Now if I take a look at the shading that's going on over here, I might think that Illustrator is using gradients to be able to create those areas, but in reality Illustrator is using blends and that's because some of the contours that you create in your objects, it's much easier and more realistic for Illustrator to use blends.
However, the way that blends work inside of Illustrator is I have a specified number of steps in those blends. I start off with one shape and then I gradually morph that into another shape to create this shading. The higher the number of steps in my blend, the smoother that my blend appears, but there is a catch. The more steps that you have in your blend, the more complex your file is. And likewise, the longer it takes to render your 3D artwork, which is really why by default Illustrator uses a value of 25 for the blend steps. But I'll tell you that in real production, 25 blend steps is simply not enough.
In fact, if you take a close look at that Frisbee that's right over here, you can see that in this area where the highlight is and in this area as well, you start to see these distinct areas or these steps where the color shifts or changes. To get a better looking 3D object, you will want to change that Blend Steps setting to something upwards of 200. And you will notice that now the color is far smoother. The downside is that it's going to take a lot longer to render this artwork and work with my 3D shapes in general. So what I generally do is I leave my Blend Steps set to 25 as I'm working. In this case here I get really zippy performance but when it comes time to actually export or print my document, what I'll do is I'll then go into the 3D effect and I'll crank that Blend Steps settings up to like 225 or more.
In that way I know that I'll always get the best possible results on output. So let's take a closer look at what the settings are of the actual light itself. Now right now the light is shining on the upper right hand part of the object but because of the rotation that I have I may want to shine the light on a different part of the object. To do so, I simply take the light itself and click and drag on it to change its position. When I release the mouse, you'll see where the lighting updates. I could hold down the Shift key as I drag this around, but again depending on the performance of your system, you may see real-time results or you may have to wait a while until it updates. Now, Illustrator does have the ability to add multiple lights to a single object.
See right now, I have a single highlight in my piece of artwork, but what I could do is I can click on this button over here to add a new light. Now I have two lights shine on my object. I can actually have one light hitting it from this side of the object and one from this side of the object. As you can see I now have a highlight on this side and a highlight on this side of the object. So I really have complete control over how I light my object. I also have the ability to click on any light and send it to the back, behind the surface. In this case if I rotate my artwork so that I can see the back of the object, I can see that I have a highlight in that particular area because I have a light shining to the back of the object. If I realize I don't want the light that I had added, I can simply click on it to select it and click on the Trash Can to delete that particular light.
Let me change this back to Off-Axis Front setting. And we'll take a look at this setting over here called Shading Color. By default, Illustrator took my regular color and simply created darker areas by adding black to that red color. However, I could choose to use a different color for shading. Instead of black, I could use any other color, I could either choose None or I could choose Custom. And when I do so I get a little box that I can click on that brings up a color picker that I could choose another color for shading. Choosing a color other than black is almost the same as you were shining a different colored light on your object. I'll click Cancel though and leave it set to black for now.
So we have explored all these settings for lighting, let's take a look over here at the Diffuse Shading option. So if you take a look over here on the right side I have Light Intensity, Ambient Light, Highlight Intensity and Highlight Size. The really only difference between the Plastic Shading and Diffuse Shading is that Diffuse Shading does not have a highlight at all, so no intensity and no size. The result is an object that appears to have a matte or flat surface as opposed to a reflective surface like the Plastic Shading does. So finally there is one setting here on the lower left-hand corner called Preserve Spot Colors. Now if you are working with an object, in this case here I chose a regular CMYK red color for the fill of my object, but say that was Pantone 185. If I wanted to preserve this artwork and I wanted to actually print it using Spot Colors and I wanted the red to print in Pantone 185, what I can do is I can check on that box. As long as my Shade Color is set to black, the black that's added to create the shading here will actually be defined as overprint inside of Illustrator.
Now I'll need to activate the overprint preview setting inside of Illustrator to see that but when I print it that will print correctly using two colors. In closing, I'll tell you that when I'm working inside of 3D inside of Illustrator, based on my experience, I spend the most time in this little surface area controlling the lighting and the settings of my surface of my object, more so than anything else in the 3D dialog box. Between the lighting settings that you use and even more importantly, the number of Blends Step that you specify, you could change a regular plain 3D object into something truly spectacular.

An intrepid interpreter of characters

In the play, Pune Highway, in a seedy hotel room beside the Mumbai-Pune expressway, a waiter, Sakharam, comes in and says, "Maal a raha hai. Quality maal (A beautiful girl is coming along)." Before the three friends — Nicholas Thomas, Vishnu and Pramod Khandelwal — could realise what he was saying, Mona strides in. She is wearing a striking-red halter neck top, cut at the midriff and tight white trousers. She has sunglasses in her hair and is wearing bright red lipstick. After a brief dialogue, Mona has a vomiting sensation and rushes to the bathroom.
When she returns, her lover Pramod asks, "Are you okay?"
"I want some water," she says.
"Mona, are you??" wonders Pramod.
"Am I what? A Cancerian? A professor? A fitness designer?"
"Are you?...."
"Ask the question Prammy," says Mona.
Suddenly, Vishnu says, "Why have you vomited? Is it some bad food you ate late night or are you carrying his bastard child?"
"Pramod, I am pregnant," says Mona, with a smile.
The Mumbai-based theatre actress Yamini Namjoshi plays Mona. She excels in this small role which she says "is a mix of vulnerability and power, a bit like myself." A day earlier, at the JT Performing Arts Centre in Kochi, she impressed in playing Pooja Thomas, a young woman who helps run a Mumbai-based English-language theatre company, in the play Me, Kash and Cruise.
Namjoshi got interested in acting during her schooling at the JB Petit High School for Girls in Mumbai. "The [late] principal Shireen Darasha was incredible for her passion for the arts," she says. "She wanted to expose us to a variety of art forms, science, literature, travel and culture. Theatre was a very big part of it, since Shireen Maam was a great lover of it." Namjoshi and her classmates acted in plays under the direction of theatre luminaries like the late Pearl Padamsee. Namjoshi pursued acting in college festivals while studying at St Xavier's College. Thereafter, in 1997, she went for a four-year course in visual arts at the Ohio Wesleyan University, USA. "I also did a minor in theatre," she says, recalling she had a role in Antigone, the classic by Sophocles, and several other plays. After graduating in 2001, she worked for a year at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. "It is one of the most respected theatre companies in America," she says. "I worked as an assistant to established stage managers."
Namjoshi also had a chance to see established thespians like Olympia Dukakis — who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in Moonstruck, and Diane Venora from close quarters. "They were amazing," says Namjoshi. "They did a lot of research on the character and the time period. They just did not arrive and act. During rehearsals, they worked from 9 am to 7 pm. When the play opened, somebody like Diane continued studying and reading about her character. I would look at her and think, 'This is dedication. Every day is a new day. There is no end to the discovery of your character. In theatre, the search for the depths of one's character is a never-ending process'."
She has been a regular actress in Mumbai's thriving theatre circuit. Some of the plays she acted in include Girish Karnad's Hayavadan, Sheridan's A School for Scandal, and The Life of Galileo by Bertolt Brecht. And then she met, fell in love, and got married to the actor Purab Kohli in 2007. "Unfortunately, things did not work out, and we have split up," says Namjoshi. Asked about her future plans, she says, "I want to do stage design. It would be an apt coming together of my visual arts and theatre background."

I have recently launched a website but very confused about url structure with parent categories and child categories.
(NOTE : Ipad-2 is parent category while ipad-apps is child.)
My home page url is : appswhite.com/
And when I click on a parent category, It becomes : appswhite.com/ipad-2/
And when I go to child category, It changes to this : appswhite.com/ipad-2/ipad-apps/
And when I go to post, it becomes :
Is this seo friendly url structure or should be change something?

This market is really sickening. No wonder people staying away.
I hate people the pumpers on CNBC who say anything to sucker you in.
Good luck with this ponzi market. I'm out. I will need time to heal but at least it's over.
I did so as well earlier today. Actually went long at 280 and now am closing that out. I am running to the sidelines here. This is hugely overvalued but could run another 20 point next week if history is any guide. Can't bear that risk.
That sucks man. I took a bath too. This will come crashing back down someday hope you are in there
to take advantage of it when it does.
Sorry to hear that. I think a lot of folks in a similar position are throwing in the towel on this.
good luck bro think I am going to join u next week if things don't go my way soon
Shorts will get a huge reward for being persistant about reality next Tue.

I have had my Kia Optima for about 3 years and paid faithfully
Then this company desided to start adding to my bill it was down to around 6999.00.
They increased the price of this bill to 7999.00 for no reason. I let that slide at the time due to they were working with me to get my credit repaired through the making of payments.
Then My Mom got ill and I was behind on a few payments. Planed on paying what I owe till I saw the bill. They charged me around $999 in missed charges which that part was fine. Even late fees would be fine but my bill went from around 7999.00 to around 13999.00. I refused to pay till bill is right. Instead of working with me they came and took my car. Now I am a single mom ... taking my car was really bad.
So now I do not have a good car for work just one that breaks down all the time and cant afford to fix it.
I have tried for over a week to contact these people and there site doe not come up with phone number or email to contact them.
I need my car back if I loose my job my kids and I will be out in the street.
If they would just work with me and not harrass me like they did.
They would call 10+ times in 1 day even after you told them when you will be sending a payment.

We are going to fire most of houston pretty soon. Who will replace us? Competitors will hire on unless they are desperate. SO who runs houston stores ...dm step down...rvp step down....hahaha they cant either..
I agree. I am sick of all of the threats also. My store is empty damn near all the time. How is it my fault that the customers are going to autozone instead of my store. Then I hear today that another store is closing in Houston the end of this week and others are for sale! What the hell is going on here. And now LB's "boy" has been promoted to DM. What a joke. Another guy who couldn't cut it at autozone is going to tell us how to do it? Great just great.
Well LB's boy has learned to threaten all his gm's so he is learning quickly. We know all thethings he cant do so maybe he will suprise us?? NOPE!! He cant speak for himself yet. He better succeed....LB is depending on it. After all they have know each other for how many years and he got promoted before other ,better candidates?? Must be nice to have friends..

|My partner and I found a rope at the base of the North Face on 5/28. If it's yours please email firstname.lastname@example.com
By Charles Konopa
Mar 16, 2005
|Climbed the North Chimney the day after the Moab Half-Marathon. Along with 3 groups from Kor-Ingalls we used 4 60 meter ropes to set two double rope raps down the north face. The second rap left us 6 feet off the ground; untying on a pillar and then downclimbing to the ledge. After the third person came off rappel and was nearly finished downclimbing, the 6 foot high pillar fell over. No one was squashed and we caught the downclimber. We set up a trad anchor to assist the other 5 rappelers in unclipping and downclimbing. Two 70 meter ropes would be enough for the last rappel; and recommended since the easier pillar is now laying on the ledge. Or just do three raps.
By Sam Lightner, Jr.
From: Lander, WY
Sep 28, 2007
On the 26th of September Kimmyyyyyy Jacobs and I completed the cleanup and backup of the North Face anchors. We dragged a bunch of chain up and the big 1/2 inch steel snippers. We removed the old chain and equalized the stuff I dragged up there last spring. ON that previous job the drill broke down so I wasn't able to add the stainless bolts. All anchors now have at least 1 stainless halfie with the chain. The old chain was probably good for a few more years (though it was rusted together), but the way it was wset up, to one single cold shut worth only 900 pounds when brand new, was unnaceptable. Those things are made of soft metal and are never tested... the 900 pounds is an average. IN any event, it is now set up with big rings and rated to way over what we can generate. It should last a while.
You will notice there is about 5 feet of chain linking the long halfie to the orginail bolts. This is because I had to go 5 feet back from the rim to find a non-hollow spot in the cap rock. Its not pretty, but it makes it easy to get over the lip and is a much more stout rap anchor.
We also brought the top anchor on the Kor Ingals up to speed with chain. We ran out of time and were not able to do the lower rap... that will have to wait.

|We climbed the N Chimney on Sept 25. The trail is mostly still in, but the last 1/5 or so is completely destroyed, making the last bit hard going. I had read on here somewhere it was possible to rap the N face with one 70m rope, so that is what we tried, but found that our rope came up about 8 feet short on the first rappel. The other two rappels reached fine.

Completing an attempted correction from another user - PLEASE update the approach directions!
The Approach: You will find the campground on Castle Valley road about 1/4 to a 1/2 mile after the cattle guard in the road on the left. From the campground/parking lot hike up the wash following the cairns until you get to a dirt road. Cross this road at a cairn and a signpost with an arrow pointing along the trail. Note that if you approach along the road as per the original directions this is easy to miss (at least if you're hiking by headlamp) and may lead to some scary loose scrambling when you overshoot the trail and follow old cairns left by evil gremlins to lead you astray so they can get to the route ahead of you.

|Late November 2015: Anyone rapping from to of Castleton, be sure to use the correct rap anchor. The recent high-line between Castleton and Rectory utilized new bolts near the edge of the summit. These are new, massive, about 3/4-inch diameter, not really equipped for rope retrieval, and a rappel from them will leave you stranded (yes, there was a rescue last night due to someone making this mistake). The correct anchor down the north face, has 1/2-inch bolts, hangers and lots of chains.

Today my partner fell at the top of pitch one of The North Chimney on Castleton Tower and hurt himself bad enough to lower him immediately and begin a rescue. After 2-3 hours of self rescuing we decided to call Search and Rescue to get more hands helping him down. They sent a helicopter, so that happened! ANYWAY,,,, I still have about 10 or so cams up on the first pitch. I intend on going back up to retrieve them ASAP, but weather and time dependent, it could take me until Friday to head back up. So PLEASE, if you get there before me, help me get my gear back. I left it there to perform an epic rescue! My friend is ok with only an injured ankle, which could have been soooo much worse after taking that monster whip! I live in Moab.

360° Summit View
If you're on the fence about Castleton (or Moab in general), let this summit view sink in for a minute.
Spring 2016 marked our frist trip to the desert and we were unsure of what to expect. The beauty is almost overwhelming for first-timers. And just when we thought the views couldn't get better, we stood on top of Castleton Tower. Hope this entices some to make the journey for the first time and brightens the day of those who have seen it. Keep exploring!

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- They celebrated the 100th podcast of the Adam Carolla Show the other day with the shows hosts talking in depth about the Brady Bunch parody porno Not the Bradys XXX which they discovered is not only available on DVD, on Playboy TV, on AEBN but also available in fine hotel rooms across America.
Carolla sidekick Teresa Strasser talked with Carolla at length about ''the most amazing porn I have ever seen,'' when she reflected on her recent trip with her husband to a cozy Napa Valley, California bed & breakfast that offered in-room- porn. The pregnant couple purchased not the Bradys XXX prompting a fantastic exchange about the porn industry between Carolla and Theresa which targeted X- Plays not the Bradys XXX which was directed by Will Ryder.
''I think its great that they were talking about our movie,'' stated Jeff Mullen, president of www.sitcums.com and X-Play. Ever since his syndicated radio show went exclusively to podcasts he has built a very loyal fan base,'' Mullen continued.
Teresas praise for not the Bradys XXX was endless, ''Ive never seen anything like it. It had a laugh track. It was shot just like the Brady bunch and it looked like the Brady Bunch. The colors you know the way they shot things back then were great.''
''Yeah sure a lot of burnt orange and avocado green,'' Carolla interjected.
''The sets were amazing and it looked and felt like the Brady Bunch,'' she gushed.
''I dont know how the law works but I dont know if Sherwood Schwartz is suing them but the porn industry seems to follow zero rules,'' Carolla is heard pontificating. ''its lawless,'' joked Strasser.
Mullen took exception to that perception. ''Well, we certainly are not lawless but if it appears to them that we are, then were fine with it but we do operate in a very calculated area each time we create a porn spoof.''
X-Play and director Will Ryder are considered the leaders of the modern porn parody movement with such blockbuster hits as not the Bradys XXX, not Bewitched XXX, not Threes Company XXX, not the Bradys XXX Marcia Marcia Marcia, the wonderfully amazing not the Cosbys XXX, and the upcoming not Married with Children XXX due out in late August from X-Play/LFP Video.
''We took the classic TV route when it comes to our menu of dirty TV shows prompting many to ask if thats the only channel we watch in our homes is Nick- at-Nite,'' the movies director Will Ryder joked.
The banter continued on the Adam Carolla Show with Teresa surmising, ''You gotta see this porn. It was really wholesome and sweet.''
Carolla asked, ''Do they show the money shot?''
''Yeah, they show everything,'' she said.
Fans can watch PG and XXX movie trailers of all of X-Plays funny movies at www.sitcums.com and listen to the Adam Carolla Show audio segment on the video page of the www.sitcums.com website or just click www.sitcums.com/adamnot.mp3
Fans of the Adam Carolla Show can catch all of his podcasts on iTunes. This particular broadcast took place on Thursday, July 9th.
''Porn doesnt have to be all about triple penetration, submission of women and circus act sex. It can be funny and happy too,'' Ryder said. ''And thats what we do at www.sitcums.com
X-Play just wrapped production on the epic sex comedy Flight Attendants starring one of the greatest casts in the history of the porn business. That movie comes out in September. ''Holy shit, wait until you see that movie,'' Ryder stated.

Love a terrier, get a scholarship
Five incoming students at Hiram College in Ohio will be receiving $1,000 scholarships, and all they have to do is prove how much they love terriers.
Through the end of this month, the private liberal arts college will be accepting applications for the "Terrier Scholarships," which must include a photo or 15-second video that depicts a student's love for terriers.
"Be creative!" the application advises. "Show us how your terrier is part of your family, a loyal friend or a fast learner. Show us why you love terriers!"
The terrier, you may have figured out by now, is the school mascot. But school officials say the type of dog also embodies "many of the qualities we love to see in Hiram College students," including being playful, curious and loyal.
The terrier has been the school mascot since 1928.
Before that the school, founded in 1850 as the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute by members of the Disciples of Christ Church, used the nickname "Farmers," and later, "Mudhens," for its sports teams.
In 1928, the nickname "Terriers" was adopted after coach Herb Matthews, speaking at a sports banquet, described Hiram athletics as "a little bull terrier that holds on until the end … No name would seem more appropriate to me than just the Terriers."
While the school's mascot is a bull terrier, any breed of terrier is acceptable in the scholarship contest.
(To the college's credit, its mascot role is filled by a student in a costume, as opposed to a live animal.)
The college says scholarship submissions should show "what makes terriers special: how they are a part of the family, a best friend, a fast-learner — and more."
"The Terrier Scholarship is our way of paying tribute to our long-time mascot, the bull terrier, and rewarding prospective students for their creativity and drive to become a Hiram student," said Vice President of Enrollment Lindajean Heller Western. "We know how special our Terrier is, and now we want to see what makes other terriers great!"
A panel of Hiram media and photography specialists will choose the winners based on the creativity and originality of photo and video submissions. Scholarship recipients will be notified in February 2016.

And if you need a more revolting "challenge"
An animal sanctuary in Ohio, after watching how successful the Ice Bucket Challenge has been as a fundraiser for ALS research, has launched a similar campaign to raise money for its shelter, challenging people to pick up dog or cat feces — with their bare hands.
The gimmick is similar to the Ice Bucket Challenge — but way more disgusting. Participants videotape themselves picking up poop, and post the video on the Internet, nominating friends and family to either take the challenge or make a donation to the shelter. ($25 is suggested.)
In a post on its Facebook page, The Island Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary in Port Clinton, Ohio, announced the "Poop Pickup Challenge" on Saturday:
"We at Island Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary are starting our own challenge. It is something that if you are a dog or cat lover have probably ALL done at one time or another. We want you to challenge people (hopefully germ haters) to a 'Free-hand poop' Event."
"We're just trying to do something to raise funds for the sanctuary," Nancy Benevento, CEO of the sanctuary, told The Toledo Blade. "Hands can be washed."
As proof that the whole thing isn't entirely tongue in cheek, Benevento got the campaign rolling by picking up — with her bare hands — a pile left by a bull mastiff at the sanctuary.
People are challenged to record themselves picking up dog or cat feces barehanded, post it to social media using the hashtag #pooppickupchallenge, and then challenge their family and friends. Those who are challenged and prefer not to pick up are asked to donate $25 to the sanctuary.
Benevento said she tried to make the challenge so revolting that people would wind up donating rather than completing it.
We think she succeeded on that last account, and we think picking up dog poop is far more earth-friendly than pouring ice water over oneself. (Or one's dog.)
But concerns about health and hygiene should send this challenge to the Dumpster.
Filling up a bucket with dog poop and disposing of it, rather than the bare hands requirement, might have been a better challenge — and it should be poop from dogs other than your own. Picking that up is your job, anyway.
Those behind the challenge do suggest that anyone taking part should wash their hands afterwards. They advise picking up poop only from animals you know are healthy — though often one would have no way of knowing that. On top of that, they recommend you not do it with a hand that has any open cuts. And children, they add, should not be allowed to participate.
We'd say all those disclaimers pretty much take all the fun out of it — if there was any fun in it in the first place.
As much as we're in favor of poop being picked up, and funds being raised for shelters, we think this idea is need of a lot of fine tuning.
For that reason and others, Mrs. Benevento, bold and well-intentioned as your challenge is, we're not inclined to take it, and forgive us for not wanting to shake your hand right now.

Bomb-sniffing dogs coming to Ohio campuses
I'm all for dogs on college campuses, and all for campus security.
But news that the governor of Ohio wants every campus in the state to have its own bomb-sniffing dog troubles me — mostly for what it says about our times.
Youngstown State University was presented a bomb-sniffing dog Monday as part of a pilot program that officials eventually hope to expand throughout the state's public universities, the Associated Press reported.
Bomb sniffing dogs were to be presented at Ohio State University yesterday and at Bowling Green State University today.
Kent State University already has one, and wants to get another.
Ohio's public safety director, John Born, says it's all part of Gov. John Kasich's plans to strengthen school safety for students — from preschool to college age.
Born says the dogs can respond to threats and conduct security sweeps for large-scale events, such as athletic games or visits by dignitaries.
It costs more than $12,700 to buy each animal and pay for initial training and equipment. Ohio Homeland Security is covering the costs with federal grant money.
The universities provide the officers who become the dogs' full-time handlers.
"There's just not enough explosives dogs in the state for the need depending on where you are, so this is hopefully the beginning of a more comprehensive effort," Born said.
Participating universities have to agree that the dogs will be available if there is an off-campus need, such as a threat at a high school.

A stray in a manger: Injured pit bull takes shelter in town's nativity scene
A stray and injured pit bull who was discovered, just before Christmas, sleeping soundly in a small Ohio town's nativity scene is recovering from his injuries and living with a foster family.
The dog, now named Gabriel, was taken in after a citizen reported him sleeping in the straw, in the company of replicas of a goat, a cow, a camel, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus.
Officials in the town of Glendale took the dog to — appropriately enough — Noah's Ark Animal Clinic, where he was treated for gashes on his head and one leg and injuries to his jaw and an eye.
The rescue group Cincinnati Pit Crew arranged for Gabriel to be placed in a foster home.
He'll be put up for adoption once he recovers from his injuries.
"Knowing that he's warm and he's not curled up in a ball somewhere looking for food, I think is awesome," said Tarah Ross, who along with Mike Berning, took the dog into their home in Anderson Township.
Gabriel got gifts and spent Christmas morning snuggled next to her on the couch, Ross told WKRC in Cincinnati.
"He really, I think, gives us the meaning of Christmas. I mean look at him. He's got the unconditional love and that's what it's all about. So he's really our gift instead of the other way around," Ross said.
Cincinnati Pit Crew said Gabriel might end up staying with the couple, if he continues to get along with their other dogs.

Circovirus kills at least one dog in Ohio
State Department of Agriculture officials say they've confirmed a case of circovirus in one of the eight dogs who became mysteriously sick or died across Ohio in recent weeks.
The disease is common in pigs but has only recently been diagnosed in dogs.
Eight dogs from the Canton area to the Cincinnati area, have fallen ill with similar symptoms over the past three weeks.
Of those, four died, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
On Friday, one of those cases was confirmed as circovirus, said Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Erica Hawkins.
Testing continues on samples from the other seven dogs, and it's too early to know if they all contracted the same disease, she added.
Pathologists sent samples from dogs to a lab at the University of California-Davis to test them for circovirus. A one-year-old beagle with circovirus died in California in the spring, and the school's lab has the equipment to test for the virus. A study detailing the California case was released in April in the Centers for Disease Control's online journal "Emerging Infectious Diseases."
Symptoms of the virus included vasculitis (a destruction of the body's blood vessels), severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea, fluid buildup around the lungs, as well as rapid heart rate and weakness.
In August, the state Department of Agriculture issued an alert after several dog deaths were reported in Norwood, just north of Cincinnati. Four dogs became sick with similar symptoms, and three of them died. All of the dogs had spent time at the same boarding kennel. The facility shut down temporarily and replaced its flooring and other equipment. But owners of the company say that was done as a precaution and that tests of the facility's food, water and surfaces show no signs of anything that could have triggered the illnesses.
The other four suspected cases were all in the Akron area, but there are no indications that the dogs had spent time together.
Dr. Melanie Butera, a veterinarian at Elm Ridge Animal Hospital in Canal Fulton, treated all four of the Akron-area dogs. All became very ill with similar symptoms, and all were around 3 or four years old. One of the four died.
Health officials and veterinarians said that owners who suspect their dog has the illness should get the pet to a veterinarian right away.
Butera warned dog owners not to panic. There have only been a handful of cases so far, and even if circovirus is responsible for all the cases, it's not the first time dogs have faced a new illness.
"Viruses mutate all the time, and we see that in human viruses, and sometimes mutations allow the virus to cross into a different species," she said.

Rounding up unlicensed dogs in Ohio
The dog warden's office in Allen County, Ohio, is living up to its antiquated name and conducting a sweep to ensure all dogs are licensed.
Almost 100 pets have been seized since the sweep began a few days ago, Examiner.com reports. Impounded dogs that go unclaimed after three days can be euthanized under Ohio law.
The dog warden's office let pet owners know about the impending action last Thursday — or at least those that are Facebook friends.
"Hi all of our Facebook friends. Just wanted to let you all know why we haven't posted adoptable dogs….. we don't have any right now! Rescue groups have been able to take our adoptable dogs and we are very grateful they have the room because we have started our tag compliance check," the office posted.
The post continues: "Every year we print a list of people that haven't renewed their dog license, then we try to call as many as we can to see if they still have their dog. If they do we encourage them to get it within a given time. If they choose not to, then they can receive a citation or have their dog impounded or both. While out doing our compliance checks we are checking surrounding houses as well…"
In answer to a question on its Facebook page, the office said, "…so far most have claimed their dogs the same or next day, which is great. If unlicensed dogs are not claimed after the legal holding time of 3 days the healthy, friendly adoptable dogs are offered to rescues … Yes, we do euthanize."
Under Ohio law, dog owners must buy a license annually.
Owners of unlicensed dogs are subject to fines, in addition to having to pay double the price for a new license. They are also held responsible, if their pet is picked up, for covering the cost of boarding it at the pound. Law requires unlicensed dogs to be held for 3 days, and licensed dogs for 14 days, before they are turned over to a rescue or euthanized.
According to the Examiner article, pit bulls seized during the sweep might never make it back home.
Even though Ohio legislators removed pit bulls from the vicious dog list last year, cities may still enforce breed specific restrictions. The city of Lima, which is the Allen County seat, is one of those that still has a pit bull restriction in place.
"Allen County dog owners be warned," the Examiner article says. "If your dog happens to be a pit bull, or one of the other dogs that Lima ordinance lists as vicious, your dog will not make it out of the Allen County Dog Pound alive."

An act both cruel and unbelievably stupid
A Toledo man stuffed six English bulldog puppies and their mother into a piece of luggage and abandoned them next to a trash bin — apparently not realizing that the canvas suitcase had a tag on it bearing his contact information.
The bag of pups — three males, three females and their mother — was dropped off behind a city business. They were picked up April 4 by the Lucas County Dog Warden's office, according to the Toledo Blade.
On Tuesday, two counts of abandonment Tuesday were filed against Howard Davis, who lives about a quarter mile from where the dogs were dropped.
Gene Boros, a Toledo Area Humane Society cruelty officer who questioned Davis, said the man told him he had not abandoned the dogs and had given them to someone in Michigan. Boros said Davis appeared to be in the process of moving out of his home.
Passers-by initially found the dogs and unzipped the bag to give them air, said Julie Lyle, Lucas County dog warden.
"There are witnesses who said that the female is indeed Mr. Davis' dog and that he had been trying to sell puppies," said John Dinon, executive director of the Toledo Area Humane Society.
Davis was to be charged with two counts of either first-degree or second-degree misdemeanor abandonment. Davis will be issued a citation and given a court date, but he was not arrested, Dinon said.
The dogs were transferred to the Humane Society, where the pups and their mother, now named Maddie, are reported to be doing well.
They will be going to a foster home by the end of the week and won't be available for adoption for at least four weeks — possibly longer since they are part of a criminal case.

Men's Basketball
Nov. 25, 2013
(Estero, Florida) - The USD Toreros were dealt their first loss of the season with today's 74-70 loss to Illinois-Chicago in the first round of the Gulf Coast Showcase. San Diego (5-1) will play the 9:00 a.m. (PST) contest Tuesday against UNC-Greensboro (3-2), a 99-62 loser to Louisiana Tech. Despite receiving a game-high 19 points from junior guard Johnny Dee, the Toreros came up short down the stretch in a closely contested game. USD also received double-digit outings from Duda Sanadze (14), Christopher Anderson (13) and Dennis Kramer (13).
The biggest margin in the game either way came in the first half with UIC holding a 7-point edge at 13-6. An old fashioned three-point play by Johnny Dee at the 13:14 mark of the first half gave the Toreros their first lead of the game at 14-13. It would stay close the rest of the half with UIC heading into the locker room with a 33-31 advantage.
In the second half the Toreros battled back to take 3-point leads on two different occasions, the last coming at 50-47 on a three-pointer by Johnny Dee with 10:40 to. USD's last lead of the game came at 52-51 with 9:53 left, but the Flames would hold the lead the rest of the way in improving to 2-3 on the season.
Three straight free throws over a thirty second span by Duda Sanadze pulled USD to within 66-65 with 2:33 left, but UIC kept answering with plays and held a 70-65 lead with 21 ticks left. The Toreros made one last push with a bucket inside by Kramer, and three-pointer from Anderson with 5 seconds to go to pull within 72-70. With just under 3 seconds to go, UIC's Kelsey Barlow missed the front end of a 1-on-1, but he grabbed the carom and was immediately fouled. He cashed in on his final two attempts to ice the victory.
USD was outrebounded 40-34, and were outshot 41.5% to 38.2%. Kramer led the squad with 8 rebounds. UIC was paced Jake Wiegand (11 points, 10 rebounds) and Kelsey Barlow (17 points).

Last updated July 24, 2015. Created on November 21, 2012.
Edited by stargazer1sd, LennyB, densolis, a.milkovsky. Log in to edit this page.
Because all the following information is available online in different places, I thought it might be helpful to others running Acquia Dev Desktop on Windows to have a a one-stop tutorial for setting up NetBeans/Xdebug/Drupal Development tools and templates.
Note:These instructions have been tested using Netbeans 7.2. as other use this document on other versions, please update this line. Thanks.
You can download, install and configure Acquia Dev Desktop for Windows here: https://www.acquia.com/downloads
1. Firefox
- Download/install Firefox
- Install FF extension Easy Xdebug
- Once installed, click on View -> Toolbars -> Check Add-on Bar - a "status line" will appear at the bottom of the firefox screen. Should be two icons for Easy Xdebug in the right hand corner of the Add-on Bar.
2. Xdebug
- Install Acquia Dev Desktop
- Click the Acquia Dev Desktop > Preferences.
- On the Config tab, under Stack configuration files, choose the version of PHP your project uses and click "Edit". This opens the php.ini file.
- Look in C:\Program Files (x86)\DevDesktop\php5_3\ext and find the file starting with php_xdebug. It will likely be in the form of
- Search for a line that contains xdebug.so and uncomment it by removing the ; (semicolon) at the beginning of the line. For example:
- Change
xdebug.soin the line you found above to the file name in the previous step.
- Scroll to the very bottom and add this:
- Save the php.ini file.
- Stop and restart Apache in Acquia Dev Desktop to ensure that the configuration change takes effect.
- You can confirm that Xdebug is enabled by visiting the Drupal phpinfo() page (/admin/reports/status/php) and checking that the Xdebug extension appears in the list of extensions.
2.2.1 Get the Xdebug file
- Download http://xdebug.org/files/php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9.dll
- Move the downloaded file to
- XP: "C:\Program Files\acquia-drupal\php5_3\ext"
- W7: "C:\Program Files (x86)\acquia-drupal\php5_3\ext"
NOTE - You will need to remember this path.
2.2.2. ACQUIA DEV DESKTOP - set up PHP.ini for xdebug
- Using Acquia Dev Desktop - create a clean install site (just need to have single site set up and running).
- Click the Settings button.
- On the Config tab, under Stack configuration files, choose the version of PHP your project uses and click "Edit". This opens the php.ini file.
- Scroll to the very bottom and add this:
zend_extension="C:\Program Files\acquia-drupal\php5_3\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.1-5.3-vc9.dll"
* zend_extension is the path to your acquia-drupal install's php/ext folder with the .dll file needed. See STEP 2 above.
- Save the file.
- Restart the webserver.
3. NetBeans and Drupal Dev Tools/Template
3a. Download/install NetBeans IDE
I went for PHP version.
3b. Download the file NBDRupalDevelTool.nbm from GitHub
- https://github.com/HollyIT/NBDrupalDevel/downloads
- Click on the file name to download and note where this was saved on your computer
3c. Download nb_templates from: http://drupal.org/node/1227436
- Win7 - unzip to C:\Users\\documents\
- WinXP - unzip to C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents
The unzip will place the files in a directory call nb_templates. Inside that directory find nb_templates.zip.txt and rename to nb_templates.zip.
3d. Start up NetBeans and go to Tools -> Plugins
- Inside the plugins dialog click the Downloaded tab.
- Click the "Add Plugins" button and browse to the NBDrupalDevel.nbm you downloaded in step 4b.
- Check the box next to the Drupal Developer item and click the Install button.
- Proceed through the installation screens.
You will get a message the says certification is not trusted. Click proceed. You will also get error message saying Drush was not found. Click OK - we will setup at a later point.
- Click Finish and close.
Once installation is complete, restart NetBeans for the module to fully take effect.
4. Configuring NetBeans for Drupal
- Much of this is from http://drupal.org/node/1019816 but with changes noted for Windows. I included it here for completeness.
- There are also NetBeans templates for Drupal coding standards at http://uccio.org/blog/netbeans-drupal-coding-standards-lo-stile-non-acqua.
Configuring NetBeans - changes from default installation settings

Internet Explorer 7 and later
Safari 2 and later
Close Options window
Go to Window -> Drupal -> Drupal API
This opens a pane in NetBeans with 2 folders: hooks and themes
If you click on hooks, it will show you all of the hooks - will hook into your code. Position cursor in code, switch to hook fold, find the one you want, and click on it - hook will be inserted into your code. If you click on themes, it will show you the theme info
5. Create a new Project in NetBeans
- Go to File -> New project
- Choose PHP -> PHP Application With Existing Sources, click next
- Sources Folder: browse to the root of the drupal installation created in Acquia Dev Desktop above (NetBeans debugging requires the index.php for the project).
- In Acquai Dev, in Win7 this file is located at "C:\Users\\Sites\acquia-drupal"
- In WinXP this file is located at "C:\Documents and Settings\\Sites\acquia-drupal"
- Click next
- Change Project name as you like,
- Verify php is 5.3
- Click next
- Click Finish
If the import worked correctly, you should see directory structure in the left pane.
6. Set up the project properties
- Right click on the project name in the left pane and choose Properties
- Click on Run Configuration in the left pane of the Project Properties window
- Click the Advanced button
- Select the radio button "Do Not Open Web Browser"
- Click Ok
- Click on Window -> Drupal -> Drush (do this once and should happen from then on)
7. Ok, FINALLY, let's try debugging...
Open a .module file from the project's list on the left.
Code execution in debugging mode is always interrupted by breakpoints. You can set a breakpoint anywhere in your code by clicking on the line number, which will highlight the line red. You can also set breakpoints by right clicking on the line and selecting "Toggle Line Breakpoint".
With a breakpoint in place you can run the code in debug mode as normal, but when a breakpoint is reached the code will stop at that point. The code execution stops at the beginning of the line, so the contents of the line are not executed until the code is either continued or stepped onwards.
In Firefox, navigate to the selected module's page, then click the little green icon in the bottom right of the screen. There are two icons, click on the left one:
- left = Start Xdebug Session
- right = Start Xdebug Profiler
You'll see it now has a little red square in the corner of the icon.
In NetBeans, click the Debug Project icon in the toolbar (last icon on right in the tool bar). Note: In the bottom right of the NetBeans window, you'll see "Waiting For Connection (netbeans-xdebug)". Once it has connected, you will get new Debug icons to the right of the Debug Project icon. Also, the pane below will also provide Variable, Call Stack, Break points, and Drush. Nothing will appear until you refresh your Firefox page.
Back to Firefox, refresh the page and NetBeans should open in front. The debugger will stop on first line of index.php, because we told it to stop on the first line in Step 5 above. Click F5 (or the Continue icon in the toolbar) - and it should run through to your breakpoint, outputting all the Variables and Call Stack for inspection in the panes below the code and alongside the Drush pane.

I made the change
Per your request, I made the change. Just out of curiosity, which version of Net Beans are you running? I'm running 7.2 and I did not see the title you saw.
Directory Structure for NetBeans?
Thanks for the great tutorial! I've reviewed this and a few other resources, but have a few questions regarding the directory structure for this dev setup.
I'm trying to set it up to be used by multiple users, so I'm trying to avoid putting files into User directories.
These are the tools I'm using:
Acquia Dev Desktop
>>Built-in Drush
Is it possible to set up such a directory structure?
C:\Dev_Server\acquia-drupal - for wamp stack (apache, mysql, php, drush)
C:\Dev_Server\Dev_sites - main Drupal directory with subdirectory for multiple sites (Dev_sites/sites)
Then install applications as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\NetBeans
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git
It seems to be working OK, but other than feedback on this structure, I need to know if NB project folders would be OK in the main Drupal directory?
How do other people do this? Do they have projects in a different directory and transfer files into the Drupal directory for testing on the local server?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! + info on a "waiting for connection" issue I had
Hello. Awesome instructions! Thanks so much for putting all this information together.
One note: I initially kept getting "waiting for connection" in Netbeans after pressing the Firefox "Start xdebug session" and then pressing the Netbeans "Debug Project" button. It just wouldn't connect. I finally worked it out that after I press the Firefox "Start xdebug session", then press the Netbeans "Debug Project" button, I need to refresh the Firefox page. If I don't refresh the page at that point, Netbeans just hangs on "waiting for connection" indefinitely.
Thanks again for a super set of instructions!
If you use windows, dont forget the firewall settings
I spent lots of hours to figure out the solution. I change many settings combinations and still it did not work. Finally, I just open the 9000 port by windows firewall then no more waiting ... hahaha
The second thing: be careful the versions of xdebug dll files. My windows is 64bit but finally 32 bit works. (maybe I installed 32bit netbeans, I am not sure).

Sighting Details
I went out of my home for a cig and I light the cig and I was just looking around it was dark as my garden looks like wood lands as many trees around me then I saw 3 red/orange balls of lights but nothing else around them to try to make the shape but nothing there but the 3 round balls I was looking at them around 1 mail away they was over some homes across from the next street but was the size of 3 beach balls in my face in the shape I have put here using 0 0 0 0 so after around 10 minuets looking at them, I then went for my mobile that was right behind me in the patio window but as soon as I got my phone to take a photo they had all gone, I don't know if it was 3 or all 3 red balls was together my heart felt as if it had stopped for that 10 minutes & I froze & I didn't think about taking a photo as I was just they with my eyes on them wounding what the hell was they but I have come on here as I have seen many others telling they have seen the same 3 red balls together

Someone mistakenly updated to the latest release of WordPress and ever since one of our plugins appears "broken". I could be wrong with that, but it is the best that I can figure. I have been using the Event Registration plugin for the past two years and love it, but I am unable to manage the payments for most recent event. The plugin (as you may know if you are reading this) allows you to see who has paid what, and give you a nice running total. I can still manage the attendees (e.g. http://www.cedarvilleag.org/wp-admin/admin.php?page=attendees) but for payments it does not list any events.
Has anyone else run into this or can suggest a tweak that might fix it?
