A homemade ease and slip works good too. Have a classic tarp or select one up in the hardware store and put out it onto a satisfied section of the decades. When you have a mountain, that might be ideal. Use some tear- soap and spray on it down along the tarp hose the whole thing with water. Add water every now and then to preserve the tarp great and slick. Brand the kids up !

Support » How-To and Troubleshooting » Remove specific tags from many posts
4 years, 3 months ago
Hi all. I have not been able to find anything specific to what I want hence why I'm asking here.
Basically what I'm after is a way I can remove only specific tags that I specify from bulk posts. For example, if I have the following tags in several posts:
one, two, three, sausage, en, bacon, eggs
Is there a way I can remove, say, "en" from all the posts without affecting the rest of the tags for that post so that I end up with the same several posts showing:
one, two, three, sausage, bacon, eggs

Sin speaks to the heart of Evil -
Their eyes are closed to Good.
They puff themselves all up -
Thinking others are blind too.
Their words are cancerous -
They have become inhumane.
Their dreams are schemes -
They dance with their devils.
Your steady love O my Lord
Extends beyond the universe.
Your justice is a mighty rock.
Your mercy fills the deeps.
You save humanity and Your
Other animals O Creator.
Dear is Your constant love,
That we all nestle safe under
The shade of Your wings.
We feast on Your grace.
We drink from the river
Of living water and spirit.
You are the spring of Life.
We see light in Your Light.
Keep loving us O Love!
Keep saving us O Savior.
Don't let the mighty rich
Stomp us into the dirt
Or drive us from You
With the scourge of fear.
Let it be them who lay down
Unable to raise themselves.
(Retold by Tiwago)

Goldenby Jessi Kirby
Love, tragedy, and mystery converge in this compelling novel from "an author to watch" (Booklist).Seventeen-year-old Parker Frost has never taken the road less traveled. Valedictorian and quintessential good girl, she's about to graduate high school without ever having kissed her crush or broken the rules. So when fate drops a clue in her lap--one that might be the key to unraveling a town mystery--she decides to take a chance. Julianna Farnetti and Shane Cruz are remembered as the golden couple of Summit Lakes High--perfect in every way, meant to be together forever. But Julianna's journal tells a different story--one of doubts about Shane and a forbidden romance with an older, artistic guy. These are the secrets that were swept away with her the night that Shane's jeep plunged into an icy river, leaving behind a grieving town and no bodies to bury. Reading Julianna's journal gives Parker the courage to start to really live--and it also gives her reasons to question what really happened the night of the accident. Armed with clues from the past, Parker enlists the help of her best friend, Kat, and Trevor, her longtime crush, to track down some leads. The mystery ends up taking Parker places that she never could have imagined. And she soon finds that taking the road less traveled makes all the difference.
In Honorby Jessi Kirby
A devastating loss leads to an unexpected road trip in what Sarah Ockler calls a "beautiful, engaging journey with heart, humor, and just a pinch of Texas sass."Three days after learning of her brother Finn's death, Honor receives his last letter from Iraq. Devastated, she interprets his note as a final request and spontaneously sets off to California to fulfill it. At the last minute, she's joined by Rusty, Finn's former best friend. Rusty is the last person Honor wants to be with--he's cocky and obnoxious, just like Honor remembers, and she hasn't forgiven him for turning his back on Finn when he enlisted. But as they cover the dusty miles together in Finn's beloved 1967 Chevy Impala, long-held resentments begin to fade, and Honor and Rusty struggle to come to terms with the loss they share. As their memories of Finn merge to create a new portrait, Honor's eyes are opened to a side of her brother she never knew--a side that shows her the true meaning of love and sacrifice.
In Honorby Jessi Kirby
A devastating loss leads to an unexpected road trip in this novel from the author of Moonglass, whose voice Sarah Dessen says "is fresh and wise, all at once."Hours after her brother's military funeral, Honor opens the last letter Finn ever sent. In her grief, she interprets his note as a final request and spontaneously decides to go to California to fulfill it. Honor gets as far as the driveway before running into Rusty, Finn's best friend since third grade and his polar opposite. She hasn't seen Rusty in ages, but it's obvious he is as arrogant and stubborn as ever--not to mention drop-dead gorgeous. Despite Honor's better judgment, the two set off together on a voyage from Texas to California. Along the way, they find small and sometimes surprising ways to ease their shared loss and honor Finn's memory--but when shocking truths are revealed at the end of the road, will either of them be able to cope with the consequences?
Moonglassby Jessi Kirby
Sarah Dessen says this "incredible first novel" is "fresh and wise, all at once."I read once that water is a symbol for emotions. And for a while now, I've thought maybe my mother drowned in both. Anna's life is upended when her father accepts a job transfer the summer before her junior year. It's bad enough that she has to leave her friends behind, but her dad is moving them to the beach where her parents first met and fell in love--a place awash in memories that Anna would just as soon leave under the surface. While life on the beach is pretty great, with ocean views and one adorable lifeguard in particular, there are also family secrets that were buried years ago. And the ebb and flow of the ocean's tide means that nothing--not the sea glass that collects along the shore, and not the truths behind Anna's mother's death--stays buried forever.
Moonglassby Jessi Kirby
Anna's plans for junior year are washed away when her father accepts a job transfer. There's no denying that living in a cottage on the beach has its perks, and it happens to be the town where her parents met and fell in love, but Anna is none too eager to rebuild her life from scratch. She already did that once, after her mother passed away years earlier. Despite her reluctance, Anna is slowly won over. But even as she makes new friends and relishes the gorgeous ocean view, she is confronted by her family's history. Everyone around Anna seems to know more about her own family's past than she does...and she begins to realize that she and her father can't outrun the painful truths of her mother's death. Anna's sea glass collection proves that time can smooth rough edges--but what about when the jagged hurt of loss remains as sharp as ever?

If she finds Trent's, then in a way she still has a piece of him.Risking everything to find peace once and for all, Quinn goes outside the system to track down nineteen-year-old Colton Thomas--a guy whose life has been forever changed by this priceless gift. But what starts as an accidental run-in quickly develops into more, sparking an undeniable attraction. She doesn't want to give in to it--especially since he has no idea how they're connected--but their time together has made Quinn feel alive again.

Photos: Raul, Ramon Garcia Cause Mexico City Explosions
The Forum, Mexico City - Family history was made as both of the Garcia brothers are now holding titles around their waists. The Garcia brothers are the only championship siblings next to the Klitschko brothers.
WBO minimumweight champion Raul Garcia (30-1-1, 18 KOs) stopped Rommel Asenjo (20-3, 16 KOs) in the third round. Garcia was too strong for the brave Filipino and sent him crashing in the third. A series of shots in the same round would end the fight as the referee stopped the action.
Ramon Garcia (16-2-1, 9 KOs) stopped Jesus Geles (12-2-1, 5 KOs) in the fourth round of their heated rematch. In February, Geles captured the vacant WBO interim-junior flyweight title with a split decision over Garcia. The first fight took place in Colombia. This time Garcia had the home crowd's support. Garcia put Geles down in the first and finished him off for the full count in the fourth.
Rodrigo 'Gato' Guerrero (15-3-1, 10KOs) stopped Panamanian Leopoldo Arrocha (10-16-2, 6 KOs) in the fourth round. Guerrero was cut in the second on his right eyebrow after a clash of heads. He fired off a series of body shots to end the fight in the fourth round.

In an E3 roundtable discussion posted today by GameReactor, Hideo Kojima primarily discussed the Metal Gear Solid V duology (Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain). But he also revealed that he was in the process of searching for a developer to remake the original Metal Gear Solid using the next-generation Fox Engine that is powering the Metal Gear Solid V games.
This would not be the first time that the PlayStation 1 classic gets a remake. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was developed by Silicon Knights and released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2004.
The full article is worth a read if you are a Hideo Kojima or Metal Gear Solid fan.

One of the world's largest shipping concerns is preparing to participate in a track-and-trace, radio frequency identification technology supply chain pilot in Asia with EPCglobal Inc., a non-profit organization spearheading RFID adoption. The move underscores an unprecedented wave of RFID adoption in the maritime industry.
Cindy Braun, general manager at Maersk Logistics, a division of shipper A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, which is participating in the pilot, detailed the program on Wednesday at an RFID forum hosted by the Wireless Internet for the Mobile Enterprise Consortium at the University of California Los Angeles.
"It's expected the project will provide ways to tighten security through U.S. customs, as well as border crossings between south China and Hong Kong," Braun said.
The project will begin later this year and end in December 2006, with findings from the pilot published the following year. EPCglobal is sponsoring the project in south China in cooperation with the Hong Kong government. Maersk will match the Hong Kong government's undisclosed financial investment for the project.
This RFID project in China is one in many for Maersk. The company is preparing its warehouses globally by installing networks, readers and infrastructure to manage RFID shipments for customers delivering goods to companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in the United States and Metro Group AG in Germany. On average ships today carry about 3,000 containers, up from 200 million in 2002, said Braun. About 100,000 documents are required to ship that cargo. RFID could reduce some of the paperwork with automatic data collection from readers and tags.
Monitoring cargo container shipments also is expected to reduce theft, which along with diverting products to another port without prior approval from the supplier, accounts for between 1% and 3% of goods shipped worldwide. The container's inventory content is typically valued at between $500,000 and $5 million, depending on the goods.
Another problem is product counterfeiting. It accounts for between 5% and 10% of all global trade, or roughly $350 billion. Braun estimates U.S. cargo theft costs companies $1 billion monthly, with most occurring in the transportation process of getting goods from one location to another, which isn't limited to cargo containers.

Haunting Experiences: Ghosts in Contemporary Folkloreby Diane E. Goldstein Sylvia Ann Grider Jeannie Banks Thomas
Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. InHaunting Experiences,three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.

text: community colleges OCC tuition to go up slightly By Ellen Abbott • Jun 8, 2016 Onondaga Community College It's going to cost more to attend Onondaga Community College this fall. The Onondaga County Legislature approved a budget that includes a tuition hike. OCC President Casey Crabill says tuition is going up just under 3 percent for the 2016-1017 school year. "It's going up $70 for a full-time student, $6 a credit unit for part-time students. We would like to work to go a year without a tuition increase, but that's been really difficult." More housing, more security at NY community colleges By Solvejg Wastvedt • Dec 16, 2015 Solvejg Wastvedt / WSKG News "Community college" used to equal "commuter school." Students came to class during the day and went home at night. Now that's changing: a 2013 report from the American Association of Community Colleges found that a quarter of campuses now have on-campus housing, and with it a 24-hour schedule that creates some security challenges. When Binghamton-area community college SUNY Broome opened its dorm a year and a half ago, everything changed at work for campus peace officer Marie Finelli. Community colleges say free tuition won't cut it By Solvejg Wastvedt • Jan 20, 2015 Solvejg Wastvedt / WSKG Earlier this month, President Barack Obama said he wants to give all students, regardless of income, two free years of community college. "Right here, right now, I'm going to announce one of my most important State of the Union proposals," he said in a speech at Pellissippi State Community College on January 9. "And that's helping every American afford a higher education." The plan caused a stir, even though it was a little short on the details. More information is expected in Obama's State of the Union address. OCC joins forces with Cazenovia College with "2+2" program By Ellen Abbott • Jul 23, 2014 Ellen Abbott / WRVO Onondaga Community College is tapping another central New York College to join it's "2+2" partnership stable. Cazenovia College is the latest institution to sign this kind of partnership agreement with OCC. What it does is allow students to take two years of directed coursework at the community college, then transfer to Cazenovia, to get a bachelor's degree. OCC President Casey Craybill says one of the major pluses to these deals is that academic advisement comes from both schools. Community colleges help region's economy By Kate O'Connell • May 31, 2013 Listen Listening... / 0:46 Community colleges are having a large economic impact on their home counties upstate, according to new research.A report focused on Monroe Community College in western New York, calculated the institution has an annual impact of more than $710 million in Monroe County. And, says MCC president Anne Kress, SUNY colleges across upstate New York are no different. OCC & St. John Fisher College start partnership By Ellen Abbott • Nov 28, 2012 Ellen Abbott/WRVO Onondaga Community College is joining forces with St. John Fisher College in Rochester to offer students a "two-plus-two" partnership agreement. That means students spend their first two years at OCC, then transfer to Fisher to get their degree.

Update: This post has been updated on April 16, 2016. Scroll down to see the new add.
If you think of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes, the first one to spring to mind is probably the iconic "Vara" pump – a one-inch heeled patent ballet-style bow-adorned shoe. This shoe was first introduced in 1978 by Fiamma Ferragamo, the daughter of Salvatore, and has gained a lot of recognition among celebrities like Princess Diana for example. "Varina" is a spin-off of Vara, a more casual and modern designed ballerina flat with a lovely grosgrain bow on the vamp, which has been around since 2007. I'm usually not a fan of ballet flats, but these are so gorgeous and the quality looks absolutely superb, don't you agree? I'd so love to own these ($525 isn't that expensive for a pair of made in Italy designer shoes nowadays). If only I had that kind of shopping budget.
Salvatore Ferragamo Varina Classic Bow Flats
($525, Shopbop)
P.S.: Also available at Zappos, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Farfetch, Bluefly & MyTheresa.
Celebrities Love Salvatore Ferragamo
Celebs and style bloggers such as Emma Roberts, Alexa Chung, Susie Lau (Style Bubble) and AnnaSophia Robb have all been spotted wearing Salvatore Ferragamo Varina Classic Bow Flats.
Journee Collection "Kim" Glossy Ballet Flats
Update (04/16/2016): Spotted these super cute Salvatore Ferragamo Varina look-alikes by Journee Collection today. They're available in red, black, nude and grey faux patent leather for $29.99.

(29.99, Target)
P.S.: Also available at Kohl's, JCPenney & Overstock.
Aldo "Juricek" Ballerina Bow Flats
If you can't afford Italian luxury, but still want Italian style, here's a fantastic alternative I found at Aldo which looks so similar to Ferragamo's "Varina" flats. Price point: $70 and the "Juricek" flats come also in bone and black leather.

Skip to comments.Reasons for Children of the 80s to Feel Old (for all of us late 70s/80s teens & youg adults)
Posted on 12/30/2004 5:44:09 PM PST by psimpson2005
So here they are: The Reasons for Children of the 80s to Feel Old
*While reading reviews about the "Live Aid" DVD on Amazon, I read a comment from a teenager that wrote that it's an ideal gift for his/her parents. And knowing that Live Aid was from 1985.
*Because when I mentioned Hall & Oates to my cousin who is 20 he had NO clue as to who I was talking about. Becauase Bon Jovi, who just came out with "Runnaway" like YESTERDAY -- right? (not) is now over 20 yrs old and considered "Classic." Because "Do They Know it is Christmas" is now 20 yrs old..........................................
(Excerpt) Read more at inthe80s.com ...
The excerpt is from a web site called 'InThe80s' which is an 80s nostalgia site. I thought some of the posts on this particular page were pretty amusing, and I know some of you FReepers would be willing to share similar stories and anecdotes. This 80s site doesn't get many posts, and I would prefer to discuss such things with fellow conservatives, as other 80s sites always end up trashing Ronald Reagan, which always ticks me off.
Given that the New Year is upon us, it is as good a time as any to discuss the passage of time and how one's youth just doesn't seem that long ago (or maybe it does!). This discussion is open to anyone, btw; not just us 80s people.
I know you guys frown on vanities; I just thought a diversion from the more serious and sad events of this past week might be welcome. I also hope I posted this correctly.
I still have the LP single. From the first press run.
BTW, welcome to FR.
Let me be the first to comment.
The one that got me was the second remark that mentions that awful song "Do They Know It's Christmas". That is exactly 20 years old this month. On the Cashbox top 100 chart for '84, it shows it debuted on 12/22/84. Yikes!!!!!
I'm so old that I remember when Dick Clark looked exactly the way he does now.
An eighties nostalgia site?
I was born in the thirties-------enough said!
Hooray for the 80s! Let me get my leg-warmers out.
Thanks for your welcome.
I don't know how to ping people. Isn't there a Gen X ping list on FR that we can contact?
But how long has it been since "Hands across America"? I cannot even remember what that was supposed to raise our consciousness about, it obviously didn't work.
hang on.
I remember milk came in waxed cartons ... TV (a new thing) was only in black and white.
I love the people who were born in the 80s complaining about feeling old. Too funny! I was born in '66 and still don't feel old!
I give the same answer as I did years ago, hell no, they where musslemen communists and animists.
BTW that famine was man made by the government trying to bring the animists under control.
I've got you beat - muzak is piped in to my place of employment (I think they must have had someone go postal once) and I recoginized.....(wait for it).....
Leg-warmers still drive me insane.
I wasn't born in the 80's. I was in school in the 80's. And yes, I had more posters of Duran Duran on the wall...
Looooove The Cure.
Actually I was born in 1964 and just turned 40 this year. I don't feel old at all, really. That is one of the reasons I posted this thread. I'm still very much the same as I was in my 20s. That is why it is just so surprising to realize that many things that only seem like several years ago are actually 20+ years ago. The thing that keeps popping into my mind is how I felt about the 60s when I was a young adult in the 80s. To realize that is how kids today see the 80s is just weird to me (and I'm sure to any generation).
Please no pictures Max Headroom. Or people saying that music hasn't progressed since Wang Chung. :^)
One of my friends is a grandfather and he's younger than I am. Granted he was a young father but it's odd that my wife is only about 6 years older than his daughter.
I'm in the process of teaching his youngest daughter to drive a stick shift because her dad can't cope with it.
Love the early Cure stuff the best , before they got HUGE and filled stadiums ( Three Imaginary Boys ; 17 Seconds ; Faith ) ...Saw them in NYC in a small club ( Hurrahs ) on their first tour ...many moons ago ...
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Ah the eighties.
The good old days when Micheal Jackson was a black male.
"I remember milk came in waxed cartons..."
Believe it or not, I can remember when milk came in glass bottles and was delivered by a milk man. I also remember my mom always buying oranges to squeeze for juice, since my dad was diabetic we ALWAYS had OJ in the house. Frozen concentrate must have saved her hours of work. And I am not that old! Only 46, my kid was born in 86. And that milk was delivered to a 12 story NYC apartment building.
I always envied my grandmother (1888 - 1985) for living through such changing times, but I might be giving her experiences a run for their money. Grandma seemed to hold up well, I'm feeling pretty exhausted.
cuz you ain't!
I was in Hands Across America in Illinois...1986, I think.
I seem to remember that when they first started to talk about Generation X that those born in 1964 were included among the 'X'ers'. When did 1964 get moved into the 'Boomers'? I distinctly remember thinking that I was on the cusp of being a boomer, but just made it into the X'er category (quite frankly, I coudn't have cared less).
hahahah @ the final pic
I remember the milk man. I thought that was the greatest job in the world for some reason.
so far, I believe being in your forties and fifties is the best - anybody else agree? would never want to be 20someting again....
1) I was at a yard sale last summer and heard some guy explaining to a ten-year-old kid what a record player did.
2) I was watching And Justice For All... (1979) a few weeks ago and realized that a twenty-year-old might not even realize that the scene with Dominic Chianese's character talking on his car phone was supposed to show that he was rich.
3) I was observing ballot counting at my county elections office and one of the workers was talking about her grandchild. I thought, "She can't be a grandmother; she's only about my age." Then it hit me....
In the 80's, I had the worst fashion sense.
Leg warmers. Ski pants. Power-shoulders. Urgh!
The decade that fashion forgot!
"Ok seeing Cheers, Threes company, Cosby, Full House and Roseanne on Nick at Night!! They are now considered "modern classics!" Man I grew up with those shows, I feel so old! (1984)"
This post strikes home too. I remember Nick being strictly 50s/60s and some 70s shows not that long ago.
Hey I had a hampster named Mork. I think he drowned or something.
I don't make any attempts to keep up on pop culture, but think that South Park keeps me youthful :)
Tried playing my walkman, and the tape part don't work so well anymore. Ain't worth fixing or replacing (I can still use the radio tuner). Heck, most of my tape devices seem to be dying and newer stereo systems are CD-only.
1962 started Gen X.
The Cure were cool (in fact, I still think they are about).
Love Cats is one of my favourite tunes from my teenage disco years!
You sure you didn't introduce him to Richard Gere? Or was that my gerbil, Mindy? ;-)
I still have my 84 Erickson Clock/Alarm/FM!/Cassette radio. The belt on the tape player is gone but the alarm still wakes me up to this day.
Mmmmmm... Blair. :-)
>>1962 started Gen X.
That's what I thought, but I keep seeing blurbs in the media that state that 1964 is the last year for the 'boomers'. I don't feel like a boomer. Not that I know what one is supposed to feel like.

The Team Falken Porsche 911 RSR, driven by teammates Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers, placed eighth in GTLM in the latest round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
Henzler qualified the Porsche in third, but tough competition from the class-winning Corvette team and additional GTLM entrants proved difficult to overcome in the two hour, 45-minute race. In addition, it had poured heavy showers in the morning warm-up session but was hot and dry by the afternoon race. Team Falken engineers had to work quickly to accommodate the drastic changes in weather.
"Bryan and I worked steadily all race, getting through traffic, and while the Porsche and our Falken tires worked flawlessly, we simply couldn't get to the front," Henzler acknowledged.
Nevertheless, Henzler credited the team with delivering a strong race car. "We're continuing to strengthen our effort, and with our next race, the Brickyard Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, just two weeks away, I'm confident we'll keep moving forward."
Sellers echoed his teammate's confidence. "The short two-week timeframe between races adds pressure, but honestly, it allows us to keep the momentum high as we head to Indy. I'm really excited for that race," he added.
The next race on the Tudor United SportsCar Championship tour takes place July 24-25 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.534-mile road course. The race duration again will be two hours and 45 minutes.

Tourist Seasonby Enid Shomer
In Tourist Season, award-winning author Enid Shomer offers ten brilliant, richly detailed unforgettable stories of resilient women, aged seventeen to seventy, each at a pivotal point in her life. Their journeys cross distances of place and mind: A middle-aged Floridian who learns that she is the reincarnation of a Buddhist saint takes daring steps on her path to enlightenment; a long-buried secret forces one woman to leave the daughter she deeply loves; a Radcliffe student faces shocking family truths and taboos during the summer of 1966; an unexpected kinship forms between two women who land in a county jail after an excursion to Las Vegas. These travelers wander through shifting emotional landscapes of love, sex, and relationships, and often miss the destinations they'd wished to reach-of insight, connection, and understanding. Whether journeying to new geographical locales or exploring uncharted personal terrain, Tourist Season offers a provocative, engaging, and often humorous road map of the heart and soul."[When reading Enid Shomer's stories,] the thing one quickly senses is the will and the voice, someone saying, in effect, 'Relax, be comfortable, I'm going to take good care of you.' These are very fine stories."-James Salter, in Imaginary Men"Beautifully made, surprising and inevitable, wonderfully inventive and deeply true, these stories are full of small, irreverent, straight-faced miracles. They will lead women of all ages to suspect that the best may be yet to come."--Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and Sight HoundFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Tourist Seasonby Enid Shomer
Shomer's keen observation of human nature is displayed in these ten mesmerizing stories about women charting unfamiliar territory.
The Twelve Rooms of the Nileby Enid Shomer
Before she became the nineteenth century's greatest heroine, before he had written a word of Madame Bovary, Florence Nightingale and Gustave Flaubert traveled down the Nile at the same time. In the imaginative leap taken by award-winning writer Enid Shomer's The Twelve Rooms of the Nile, the two ignite a passionate friendship marked by intelligence, humor, and a ravishing tenderness that will alter both their destinies. In 1850, Florence, daughter of a prominent English family, sets sail on the Nile chaperoned by longtime family friends and her maid, Trout. To her family's chagrin--and in spite of her wealth, charm, and beauty--she is, at twenty-nine and of her own volition, well on her way to spinsterhood. Meanwhile, Gustave and his good friend Maxime Du Camp embark on an expedition to document the then largely unexplored monuments of ancient Egypt. Traumatized by the deaths of his father and sister, and plagued by mysterious seizures, Flaubert has dropped out of law school and writ-ten his first novel, an effort promptly deemed unpublishable by his closest friends. At twenty-eight, he is an unproven writer with a failing body. Florence is a woman with radical ideas about society and God, naive in the ways of men. Gustave is a notorious womanizer and patron of innumerable prostitutes. But both burn with unfulfilled ambition, and in the deft hands of Shomer, whose writing The New York Times Book Review has praised as "beautifully cadenced, and surprising in its imaginative reach," the unlikely soul mates come together to share their darkest torments and most fervent hopes. Brimming with adventure and the sparkling sensibilities of the two travelers, this mesmerizing novel offers a luminous combination of gorgeous prose and wild imagination, all of it colored by the opulent tapestry of mid-nineteenth-century Egypt.
The Twelve Rooms of the Nileby Enid Shomer
He was a notorious womaniser, consorted with countless prostitutes and was yet to write a word of Madame Bovary. She would become the Lady of the Lamp, the heroic saviour of wounded Crimean War soldiers. Both at painful crossroads in their lives, burning with unfulfilled ambition, Gustave Flaubert and Florence Nightingale made simultaneous voyages on the Nile. In reality they never met, but in the imaginative leap taken by award-winning author Enid Shomer, the two ignite a passionate friendship that will alter both their destinies. Together, and with a cast of unforgettable characters, real and imagined, these unlikely soul mates share their darkest torments and most fervent hopes. Brimming with adventure and the sparkling sensibilities of the two travellers, this mesmerising novel offers gorgeous prose and wild imagination, coloured by the rich tapestry of nineteenth century Egypt, and brings to vivid life two of history's most captivating personalities. Author photo Enid Shomer won the Iowa Fiction Prize for her first collection of stories Imaginary Men, and the Florida Gold Medal for her second, Tourist Season. She is also the author of four books of poetry. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Paris Review, and many other publications. She lives in Tampa, Florida. The Twelve Rooms of the Nile is her first novel.

- MP3 (Mpeg audio layer 3) - Provides audio only with no text. These books are created with a text-to-speech engine and spoken by Kendra, a high quality synthetic voice from Ivona. Any device that supports MP3 playback is compatible.
- DAISY Audio - Similar to the Daisy 3.0 option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.

At the Forge - JavaScript, Forms and Ajax
Last month, we began to dip our toes into the water of Ajax, the shorthand name for asynchronous JavaScript and XML, which has taken the world of Web development by storm. Ajax applications are Web applications in every way, depending on the underlying combination of HTML, HTTP, URLs, JavaScript and CSS that provide a modern Web infrastructure. But, they also rely upon several of the features of modern JavaScript, including its ability to rewrite Web pages and also to make HTTP requests asynchronously.
And, indeed, this asynchronous behavior is what makes JavaScript—and Ajax, for that matter—so exciting for Web developers. No longer are we stuck with the modern equivalent of old-style 3270 terminals, with execution taking place on the server only when we move from one page to another. Now a Web page can be updated without having to reload the page.
Ajax is not a technical revolution, so much as a conceptual one, bringing with it new expectations from users and paradigms for developers. All of the technology behind Ajax has existed for several years, but it is only now that we are starting to take advantage of it in Web applications.
This month, we start to look at one simple example of an Ajax application, in a context that will probably be familiar to most Web developers: asking users to register with a Web site. By the end of this month's column, you will see how we can combine server-side programs, an HTML form and JavaScript to check the validity of a form before it is submitted. Next month, we will see how we can use Ajax to overcome the fatal flaws associated with this implementation, improving the efficiency, robustness and security of the application all at once.
If you have been developing Web sites for any length of time, you probably have needed to create a login system. Such systems come in all shapes and sizes, and require different levels of security. For our example application, we assume that each user has a user name and password. Actually, as you will see, we don't care that much about the password; the key issue here is the user name, which must be unique.
The first thing to do is create a simple table in our database to keep track of users:
CREATE TABLE Users ( id SERIAL NOT NULL, username TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (username <> ''), password TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (password <> ''), email_address TEXT NOT NULL CHECK (email_address <> ''), PRIMARY KEY(id), UNIQUE(username) );
The above table, defined using PostgreSQL syntax, keeps track of our users for us. Every user has a unique numeric ID, stored in the id column. (The special SERIAL datatype in PostgreSQL ensures that each row we INSERT into the database will have a unique value for id.) For the purposes of this column, we ignore the security issues associated with storing passwords in plain text.
Next, we define three columns of type TEXT, which PostgreSQL uses to define limitless text fields. Each of these fields is also given an integrity check to ensure that the value can be neither blank nor NULL. We also define the username column to be UNIQUE.
Now, from the standpoint of data integrity, we already have done our jobs. We can be sure that no two users will have the same user name, that each e-mail address (that is, each person) is allowed to have more than one user name in the system, and that the user name, e-mail address and password cannot be blank. Everything else is just icing on the cake, right?
Well, yes—but only if we are willing to give our users database errors. Most of us would prefer to offer a softer landing to our users, telling them not only that (for example) their chosen user name already has been taken by someone else, but also shielding them from the errors that PostgreSQL displays.
This means our application is going to need to take the user's requested user name, check for it in the database, and then either display an error message (prompting the user to try again) or INSERT a new row in the database.
Here is a simple example of how we might do this in a Web page. I use simple CGI programs written in Perl for the server-side examples this month, in no small part because they tend to be simple to understand and try on any host. Listing 1 (register.html) shows the HTML form users will see when they want to register with the site. Listing 2 (register.pl) shows the CGI program that will accept the form contents, check the user name in the database and then produce a message in response. My assumption is that the form will be in the main Web document root directory, and the CGI program will be in the cgi-bin directory. Obviously, if you are using a server-side language, such as PHP, the two can exist side by side.
is that can do for mysql and for long title of artiles
this is very good post
but i wonder you can help for the one wwork with mysql and
special in case of record have long title
eg: when some one posting articles the Ajax will check for its title ( may be long ) and find in data, is some realy similar articles exiting with that title .. so poster do not make double post ..
if have any solution please pm mail me yahoo binhaus
kind regards

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

If you like to create things on multiple iOS devices, e.g. iPhone and iPad, and you are familiar with Apple's iCloud and iCloud Drive and associated iCloud Drive app for iOS, you should be pleased to hear that across our apps we are gradually rolling out support for iCloud. See our FAQ on using iCloud which we will keep updated.
The first of our apps to get iCloud support was Liptikl 2 for iOS, released a couple of weeks ago. As of today we have now followed up on that with iCloud support in Wotja 3.2 for iOS. We expect to release the iCloud-supporting Noatikl 3.1 and Mixtikl 7.1 iOS updates soon [Edit: released April 5th].
It turns out that the key thing actually needed is iCloud support in the iOS apps! Once you have installed the relevant iOS app then icloud.com will show the relevant folder and an iCloud-supporting macOS desktop app update can open files from and save to the iCloud Drive folder in macOS.
iCloud support is great as it means you can start working on a file in the macOS version and then (for files in the relevant iCloud Drive folder) carry on in the iOS version, and vice versa.
These still need to be copied to/from your iOS app via iTunes App File Sharing. For further details on how to do that, see here.
For us it was really all about improving ease of use, productivity and ease of backing up files. Some of the benefits as we see them are:
With iCloud being supported in both Liptikl 2 for iOS and Liptikl 2 for macOS, you can start creating a Liptikl file in one version and carry on editing it in another, and vice versa. This freedom to create as, when or where you want results in greater creative productivity!
When Noatikl 3.1 for iOS is released with iCloud support you will be able to take advantage of iCloud Drive file synching with Noatikl for macOS. Here's an example of how: Say you want to create a Noatikl file for import into Wotja and you find it easier to use Noatikl for macOS to create that file. Using Noatikl for macOS you create the file and then save or copy that file to your Mac's iCloud Drive/Noatikl folder. In Noatikl for iOS you will be able to open that file and then export it to clipboard for importing into Wotja. Easy!
Prior to that you would have had to first create your file in Noatikl for macOS then either manually transfer your Noatikl file to Noatikl for iOS via iTunes File Transfer then open in Noatikl for iOS and export to clipboard; or, from Noatikl for macOS export it to clipboard, then paste it into Notepad for macOS and then in Notepad for iOS copy that URL to clipboard and then import into Wotja - a little bit more complex shall we say!
We hope you enjoy using our new Files screens, iCloud and iCloud Drive!

How can it be, we're 9 years already? Where does the time go?
Intermorphic was founded 9th January 2007 by Tim Cole and Pete Cole. We have beavered away at our range of tools ever since. We can't exactly say the journey of survival has always been an easy one, but parenthood was never meant to be thus! All the same, it has certainly been an interesting and rewarding path to be treading, and we have met a lot of amazing, interesting and kind people along the way.
We love creating things for people to play with and we certainly have some more fun stuff lined up to work on this coming year; it is just a matter of finding the time to cram it in as we can never go as fast as we want with the Intermorphic apps!
Suffice to say, we hope to move Wotja on quite a bit this year, too.
Anyhow, toodle pip! We have a metaphorical party to head off to...
P.S. Thank you in advance for all your birthday greetings and wishes!
Tim and Pete
23rd December 2015 by Tim Cole
At the close of 2015 the first and most important thing for us to say is a big thank you and shout-out to our fans - all of you that stayed with us, bought our apps and continued to use the creativity tools that we build.
We may only be a core 2 man team, and we can only go so fast, but what keeps us going is knowing that you are out there and using what we build - and we never forget we build our tools and apps for you.
So, thank you again for your support, kindness, reviews, feedback and interest. It means more to us than you will ever know!
A lot happened at Intermorphic over the last year. We had our 25th year anniversary of working in generative music and spent much of it working on major improvements that made their way into Noatikl 3 and Mixtikl 7.
To top it all off, at the end of the year we released Wotja 3, a major update that, as well as continuing to be a reflective music system, saw it become a generative music publishing system in its own right.
It is early days yet for Wotja which continues to be a Reflective Music System. Anyone can create and share a Wotja Music URL or File that uses its included Players and Backing to create the music.
This year we enhanced the underlying PSE (Partikl Sound Engine) to greatly improve the quality and range of sounds it could generate. In addition, we also added the facility to Import/Export Noatikl files as Custom Content. This was a "big thing" as it now means Wotja is much more - it is also now a Generative Music Publishing system.
We did this so that for those of you that are skilled at creating generative music with Noatikl (and for that matter, Mixtikl, too) and that might want others to hear what you make, and to hear it live and without first having to pay for a tool, you now have a route to do that via easy-to-use Wotja 3 and Wotja FREE 3.
We know it won't happen overnight, but a key aspect of the what we are trying to facilitate is the growth of a community of reflective and generative music artists, artisans and interested parties who can take to new heights a shareable interactive creative artform which can be made by anyone - and all without coding. Or, as we call it, personal artistic creative expression ("peace").
We hope the community can, from our materials and from each other, learn to make and share clever things such complex Partikl Sound Engine (PSE) networks and advanced Noatikl Music Engine (NME) compositions etc. This is all made possible because the Player or Backing in a wotja can be exported for further study and editing in Noatikl 3 or Mixtikl 7.
Simply import your Noatikl file into Wotja as a Custom Backing, set the Player to "None" (unless you want a Text to Music tune to play as well) and then share it as a Wotja Music URL or File that can be played, for free, in Wotja FREE 3. Under the hood both Wotja and Wotja FREE include the same powerful Noatikl Music Engine (NME) and Partikl Sound Engine (PSE) that are in Noatikl 3 and Mixtikl 7, so your content will play just fine.
So, there you have it, Wotja is a generative music publishing system! It make take a while for the ramifications of this to sink in, and, for that matter, what Wotja is actually really about, but that will become clearer over time as we move the product forward and add more pieces of the puzzle.
Yes, of course you could make and share recordings of your wotja (and why not), but that is not the same thing. And, besides, a recording is not live, not as much fun, not re-editable and so not participative or interactive. :). And, we believe that as the community of creators and sharers grows over time, and as we develop Wotja further, it will get more and more fun to be part of it.
Why not see what you can do and publish/share some of your own wotjas? It is easy and fun to express yourself! Why not start by experimenting with standard wotjas and then move up to creating your own Custom ones.
It goes without saying that we will continue to push back boundaries in 2016, as we have tried to do every year of the last 25. :)
Although we already have lot planned for next year, we don't want to give away too much on what we have up our sleeve and also because things can change. But, one thing we can say, however, is that we will be building a version of Wotja for Desktop. Yay!
We hope you stay with us and get as much use and fun from our apps as we have in building them for you. Thank you again for your support this year.
Season's Greetings and Happy New Year!
Tim and Pete
NB: Special thanks from us to long time collaborators Mark Harrop and Timothy Didymus who have helped us a lot this year.
P.S. We hope to be taking things a bit easier from now until the New Year, so if you need a response on anything then allow that it might take a bit longer than usual.
10th October 2015 by Tim Cole
It just so happens that today, the 9th October 2015, means we have now been working in generative music for 25 years (our 26th year starts tomorrow!). Woo hoo!
It's a big milestone for us and we want to thank all of you who have, in one way or another, supported, helped or followed us over the years (and that most definitely includes our long suffering wives and families)!
We do hope that our apps and tools, if you have ever used them, have brought you much creative pleasure and many ideas - we make them for you.
Our nature is to look forward rather than back (there is always too much to do), we are not natural curators and over the years we have simply just forgotten way, way, way more than we can ever remember (some of the links below will let you find out more, if you are interested).
That said, let's take a very short trip into the annals of history. After all, why not, as today we are celebrating the last 25 years - which is actually not that long when you consider that generative music can play for ever!
Ever since the founding of SSEYO in 1990 (SSEYO was incorporated on the 9th October 1990), Pete and I have been working on Generative Music technology, tools and apps.
Way back in 1992, after an initial period of development, we placed beta versions of SSEYO Koan in the hands of a select group of people. Rather naturally, we described the system's output as "Koan Music" for lack of something better or more original to call it. We referred to it like that all the way through SSEYO Koan Plus (1994) and into the first versions of SSEYO Koan Pro (1995).
All that changed with the release of Brian Eno's "Generative Music 1 with SSEYO Koan Software" (1996). Eno thankfully coined and used the term "Generative Music" instead. Being "brand free", and frankly a much better descriptive term, has meant it has stood the test of time and so it is still in widespread use today. We remain grateful to him for many reasons, including how his collaboration with us has helped give our work a greater profile; today that profile still helps people discover us at Intermorphic and allows us to continue pushing back the frontiers in generative music and its applications.
We did a lot more at SSEYO, of course, including releasing the "drag 'n' mix" Koan X, two fabulous content titles called Float by Timothy Didymus and Niskala by David Muddyman (Jamuud), Koan Essentials Morphing Drum n' Bass and even SSEYO miniMIXA (after Tao Group acquired SSEYO in 2002 and which then sadly passed away in 2007). There was much, much more, too, but all that is now long gone history, so let's move on from SSEYO to what happened next.
Over the last 7+ years at Intermorphic (co-founded in 2007) we've created a generative music engine we call the Noatikl Music Engine (NME) and tighly integrated sound engine we call the Partikl Sound Engine (PSE). The NME is the "evolution of Koan" and it can even play SSEYO Koan SKD files created right back to 1992! Over the years these engines have gone from strength to strength.
We've also created a number of generative music apps/tools that feature the NME and PSE, namely: Noatikl, Mixtikl, Wotja and Tiklbox; the engines are even in Liptikl (but they don't currently do anything in that).
We appreciate that some of our tools may be a little bit too "deep" and opaque, but that is just reflective of how life is not really that simple and is full of decisions and challenges - and we like to keep it real (it is actually because we are severely time and resource constrained, but we are always striving to improve things!).
Although we have been active in this space for almost 25 years now, as we said above, we really only have time to push ahead ... and there is an absolute ton of stuff we want to do there, that's for sure, so we are going to continue doing just that. So...
We tend not to pre-announce things and we are not big talkers; we try to leave that space free for creators and communicators using our tools. And, besides, that would be saying, wouldn't it? :).
However, as this is such a special day for us we will break with tradition and (uncharacteristically) give some clues as to where we are heading. :)
We have been beavering away for a while now on some things that we hope might unlock the beginnings of a new and personalised "wotja" artform - a generative / inmo "communication" which anyone can quickly and easily make and share/publish.
A joined up tool chain that facilitates the deep customisation of the generative music and sounds used in Wotja (via "round-tripping" to Noatikl) will provide a new outlet for sound designers and composers and let them bring something very creative, unique and special to this new artform.
So, to kick all this off you should soon see new Noatikl and Mixtikl apps that feature significant updates to the Partikl Sound Engine (PSE). We will then follow those releases with an update to Wotja that will let allow wotjas to be customised with Noatikl pieces.
Our reaching this anniversary is in no small measure down to the early efforts and contributions made by all those who worked for SSEYO and the Tao Group Audio team, and we thank them deeply. We give especial and deep thanks to Timothy Didymus and Mark Harrop who both work closely with us at Intermorphic, and also to all our customers and "communicators". The road of survival in our niche area has most often been a bumpy and difficult one, to say the least, and we know we would not be here today were it not for that help from all those wonderful people (see our Noatikl Credits page for more thanks and links).
Finally, we greatly appreciate your interest in our efforts so far and we hope you continue to follow our journey over the next 25 years, too - there is lot's more to come from us yet!
Tim and Pete
P.S. We always look forward to receiving feedback or suggestions on how we can improve our apps and tools for you. If you wish to provide that, we simply ask that you do that via our contact form.
1st July 2015 by Tim Cole
Ever since we co-founded SSEYO in October 1990, Pete and I have been working on Generative Music technology, tools and apps. Even though we have been active in this space for almost 25 years now, we are still pushing ahead and doing new things.
Wotja 2 and the Wotja Watch App for Apple Watch represents another big step forward for us. It has taken all of what we have done in the past and knowledge and experience gained through doing that to get to this point. Why? Because, simply put, Wotja needs a lot under the hood to do what it does.
When we decided to build the Wotja Watch App we knew it had to be a powerful app in its own right: it had to allow user control of the composition in some meaningful way. In other words, it had to allow you to actually create music with. Yes, we know that a paired Apple Phone is where the audio composition actually happens, but all the same... the Wotja Watch App leverages the smarts in Wotja for iOS.
Remembering that in Wotja, the text generates the melody, we found that their were 3 principal ways to achieve that:
We also found there were 3 secondary factors that did not affect the composition per se (although, depending on how the Player is set up, it can) but that made a big sonic difference to what you got and so affected the overall composition: These were:
On top of that, we wanted to allow a very fast and easy way to create new wotjas - and this is where the Shuffle button comes into its own. The thing about shuffling things up, though, is to make sure you only shuffle what you want to be shuffled. So, we added some toggles that allow you choose whether some key things can be shuffled or not. With those, when you hit the shuffle button you know exactly what will be shuffled.
We also took the opportunity to prune the embedded content to make sure that just the most relaxing of players and backing were included. And, we added a Sleep timer so you could have Wotja play for just as long as you wanted before it faded away. This can be useful for e.g. sleep, relaxation, mindfulness, yoga etc.
Finally ... we also wanted to make it easy to share a wotja that you made in Wotja Watch. We tried getting "handoff" working, but in the end had to leave that for another day.... you can still open Wotja on your iPhone and share your wotja from that - and we would encourage you to do just that! We will try to retweet the best ones we see.
See here for some tips on how to share a wotja with a picture or text.
Tim and Pete
P.S. There is actually a load more we are planning for Wotja, so this is still early days for the app - watch this space!
P.P.S. We are now working on improvements to the Partikl Sound Engine that is in all our apps. We can't wait to get that finished and out for you!Back to top
