Garden State Philharmonic
Youth Orchestras Program
As part of its commitment to education, the Garden State Philharmonic actively sponsors three youth orchestras to provide young musicians the opportunity to play in an orchestra and receive training to develop and enhance individual musicianship. The three ensembles work together as feeder programs allowing students to build on their knowledge and advance up the musical ladder. The members come from various schools throughout the Jersey Shore.
Open auditions are scheduled at the beginning of each October. For students who wish to enter the program after the open audition, an appointment must be scheduled by e-mailing the program coordinator at email@example.com.
The three youth orchestras typically perform two large concerts, one in late winter and one in June, as well as performing throughout the year at a variety of venues in the area. Scholarships are awarded each year to students who are pursuing a degree in music. Those accepted to the GSPYO must pay annual member dues and support capacity-building activities. A limited number of dues scholarships are granted.

Ok, finishing up these cute little sandal booties. They are on page 43 of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino Book. I have sewn up the seam and heel. I have a little strap leading up off of the instep. This will be folded over and make a loop for the strap that comes around from the shoe (through the loop to be buttoned on opposite side). After join sole and back heel seem it goes thus: Right side facing beg and end within 9 sts of back seam, k up 18 sts along heel for ankle strap ( I believe this makes the little piece that adds height to the back of the shoe (like the old fashioned Mary Janes).
Next Row: Cast on 22 (on what?), k to end, turn and cast on 4 sts (Before the previously knitted row?) What does this "Next row" have to do with the 18 stitches that added height to the back of shoe?
Buttonhole Row: K to last 3 sts (knit which?) k2tog, yf, k1,k2 rows cast off.
Any ideas, suggestions, insights, or just good ol fashioned epiphanies will be most welcome! :knitting:
It does sound a little confusing, but maybe once you get started it will make more sense. I think what you need to do is after doing the heel part that adds the height, just cast on 22 right there at the end of that row so that it becomes an extension of the back part of the heel...that part becomes the strap?
I didn't see any notes on Ravelry, but several people there have knit them. You might check out this post and ask the knitter about it if you continue to have trouble: http://gilraensknits.blogspot.com/2007/11/small-pink-feet.html
OK, I'm going to give this a shot. Are these the same booties I helped with before? I've been hoping to get to see how they turn out!
OK, I think you're right about the 18 stitches adding height to the back of the shoe. After those 18 stitches, you're going to cast on 22 more stitches, right on that needle, that will be part of the same row as the 18 stitches. That's the strap.
Now, I think, you're going to turn and knit back across those 22 stitches and the 18 stitches, and then cast on 4 on the other side of the 18 heel stitches. I'd have to see a picture to be sure, but from the info you gave, that's my interpretation. I think that's where you will sew the button. Then you knit back across the 4, the 18 and the 22 up to the last 3 stitches, then do the button hole directions. Then you'll knit 2 more rows, then cast off.
make sense?

On Thursday, I attended the first half of a back-to-back crosstown doubleheader. I joined the masses for Thursday's "getaway day" special between the Cubs and Brewers at Wrigley Field. With free neighborhood parking and a friendly secondary ticket market at play (one popular site had tickets available for 19 cents plus fees), I entered the stadium for less than the cost of a large latte. I had high expectations for the matchup between Zack Greinke and Matt Garza. Both pitchers factored prominently in our FOXSports.com "Baseball Hot Streak" game (http://msn.foxsports.com/fantasy/baseball/hotstreak/ ) and delivered the requisite strikeout numbers (five to keep your streak alive), but Greinke's final stat line was positively brutal. Greinke fell victim to some lackadaisical fielding (Ryan Braun and Mat Gamel left me scratching my head) and had zero movement on his pitches during the Cubs' six-run third inning. He departed in the fourth inning after yielding eight earned runs on nine ...

Social Question
Any Toastmasters Members? Would you recommend them for general public speaking "practice"?
Asked by serenityNOW (3626) October 2nd, 2012
I love public speaking, despite having performance anxiety. Go figure! Anyway, considering I'll never be a politician or preacher, or anyone who regularly gives speeches, I'd still like to flex my chops. (I took Public Speaking a couple of years ago at community college and really enjoyed it.) So, I'm considering joining Toastmasters. Any thoughts? Thanks!

hexdump [-bcCdovx] [-e format_string] [-f format_file] [-n length] [-s skip] file ...
The hexdump utility is a filter which displays the specified files, or the standard input, if no files are specified, in a user specified format.
The options are as follows:
For each input file, hexdump sequentially copies the input to standard output, transforming the data according to the format strings specified by the -e and -f options, in the order that they were specified.
A format string contains any number of format units, separated by whitespace. A format unit contains up to three items: an iteration count, a byte count, and a format.
The iteration count is an optional positive integer, which defaults to one. Each format is applied iteration count times.
The byte count is an optional positive integer. If specified it defines the number of bytes to be interpreted by each iteration of the format.
If an iteration count and/or a byte count is specified, a single slash must be placed after the iteration count and/or before the byte count to disambiguate them. Any whitespace before or after the slash is ignored.
The format is required and must be surrounded by double quote (`` ``) marks. It is interpreted as a fprintf-style format string (see fprintf), with the following exceptions:
NUL \0 <alert character> \a <backspace> \b <form-feed> \f <newline> \n <carriage return> \r <tab> \t <vertical tab> \v
Hexdump also supports the following additional conversion strings:
000 nul 001 soh 002 stx 003 etx 004 eot 005 enq 006 ack 007 bel 008 bs 009 ht 00A lf 00B vt 00C ff 00D cr 00E so 00F si 010 dle 011 dc1 012 dc2 013 dc3 014 dc4 015 nak 016 syn 017 etb 018 can 019 em 01A sub 01B esc 01C fs 01D gs 01E rs 01F us 07F del
The default and supported byte counts for the conversion characters are as follows:
%_c, %_p, %_u, %c One byte counts only. %d, %i, %o, %u, %X, %x Four byte default, one, two, four and eight byte counts supported. %E, %e, %f, %G, %g Eight byte default, four byte counts supported.
The amount of data interpreted by each format string is the sum of the data required by each format unit, which is the iteration count times the byte count, or the iteration count times the number of bytes required by the format if the byte count is not specified.
The input is manipulated in ``blocks'', where a block is defined as the largest amount of data specified by any format string. Format strings interpreting less than an input block's worth of data, whose last format unit both interprets some number of bytes and does not have a specified iteration count, have the iteration count incremented until the entire input block has been processed or there is not enough data remaining in the block to satisfy the format string.
If, either as a result of user specification or hexdump modifying the iteration count as described above, an iteration count is greater than one, no trailing whitespace characters are output during the last iteration.
It is an error to specify a byte count as well as multiple conversion characters or strings unless all but one of the conversion characters or strings is _a or _A.
If, as a result of the specification of the -n option or end-of-file being reached, input data only partially satisfies a format string, the input block is zero-padded sufficiently to display all available data (i.e. any format units overlapping the end of data will display some num- ber of the zero bytes).
Further output by such format strings is replaced by an equivalent number of spaces. An equivalent number of spaces is defined as the number of spaces output by an s conversion character with the same field width and precision as the original conversion character or conversion string but with any ``+'', `` '', ``#'' conversion flag characters removed, and ref- erencing a NULL string.
If no format strings are specified, the default display is equivalent to specifying the -x option.
This command returns 0 on success and non-zero if an error is encountered.
The following is an example of how to use
SHLL [/] $ hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/hda1
This command is included in the default shell command set. When
building a custom command set, define
CONFIGURE_SHELL_COMMAND_HEXDUMP to have this command included.
This command can be excluded from the shell command set by defining
CONFIGURE_SHELL_NO_COMMAND_HEXDUMP when all shell commands have
been configured.
hexdump command is implemented by a C language function
which has the following prototype:
int rtems_shell_rtems_main_hexdump( int argc, char **argv );
The configuration structure for the
hexdump has the following
extern rtems_shell_cmd_t rtems_shell_HEXDUMP_Command;

The culture of the Creole (native) in Louisiana emerged from the blending of:?
The culture of the Creole (native) in Louisiana emerged from the blending of:
a. Native American, French and Latino cultures
b. Native American, French and African American cultures
c. Latino, French and African American cultures
d. French, Portuguese and Native American cultures
E. None of the above… There is no evidence that Native Americans are in this mix.
Always a controversial and confusing term, the word Creole, to put it simply, means many things to many people. It derives from the Latin creare, meaning "to beget" or "create." After the New World's discovery, Portuguese colonists used the word crioulo to denote a New World slave of African descent. Eventually, the word was applied to all New World colonists, regardless of ethnic origin, living along the Gulf Coast, especially in Louisiana. There the Spanish introduced the word as criollo, and during Louisiana's colonial period (1699-1803) the evolving word Creole generally referred to persons of African or European heritage born in the New World. By the nineteenth century, black, white, and mixed-race Louisianians used the term to distinguish themselves from foreign-born and Anglo-American settlers. It was during that century that the mixed-race Creoles of Color (or gens de couleur libre, "free persons of color") came into their own as an ethnic group, enjoying many of the legal rights and privileges of whites. They occupied a middle ground between whites and enslaved blacks, and as such often possessed property and received formal educations. After the Civil War, most Creoles of Color lost their privileged status and joined the ranks of impoverished former black slaves. All the while, however, the word Creole persisted as a term also referring to white Louisianians, usually of upper-class, non-Cajun origin (although, confusingly, even Cajuns sometimes were called Creoles, primarily by outsiders unfamiliar with local ethnic labels). Like the Creoles of Color, these white Creoles (also called French Creoles) suffered socioeconomic decline after the Civil War. In Acadiana, newly impoverished white Creoles often intermarried with the predominantly lower-class Cajuns, and were largely assimilated into Cajun culture.

Sticky: Wet Wild & Wonderful!
Spring is festival season in Louisiana and at the New Orleans Audubon Zoo. Soul Fest was last weekend, a colorful celebration of African-American culture. Creole cuisine and soul food mixed with R&B and hip hop kicked off a round of happenings at NOLA's own "animal house". I have been to my share of Zoos and believe me when I say Audubon Zoo out shines them all. The Audubon Nature Institute is one class act.
Following directly on the heels of Soul Fest is Earth Fest, Asian Pacific American Society and then popular fund raisers for the Audubon Society, the Whitney Zoo To Do and Zoo To Do for Kids sponsored by Humana. These fundraisers will help underwrite a new attraction at our favorite Zoo called Cool Zoo, an animal themed splash park. Wet, Wild and Wonderful!
Cool Zoo is a new wet and wild splash park right at the Zoo. Highlights include jumping water spouts, a huge alligator (we are in Louisiana after all) water slide, a spider monkey soaker and water spitting snakes just to name a few! The splash park will offer three different splash zones with one specifically for toddlers and younger zoo goers.
In addition to all the custom animal features in the new Cool Zoo, there will be animal sounds in the "Sound Spray" area. When the water sprays you hear matching animal sounds like croaks, bleats, roars or squawks. The Caterpillar sprayer is designed to look like a monarch butterfly and the giant alligator's tail is the waterslide! This new hot spot will be located between the Endangered Species Carousel and the Embraceable Zoo. Construction should begin soon. So get ready for some Cool Zoo fun.
Another exciting new attraction set to open this summer is Parakeet Pointe. Located at the Aquarium of the Americas, this will be an 800 square foot tropical environment and home to more than 1,000 free flying parakeets! For an even closer encounter, purchase a feed stick for a dollar and feed the bright beautiful little birds. These guys are all naturally curious and playful. The kids and you kid-like adults will love it!

Wisconsin Water Science Center
USGS Water Science Centers are located in each state.
Lake Studies team member Bill Rose (right) discusses ongoing work with Whitefish Lake, Wisconsin, area residents. The USGS will provide data to inform lake area management plans.
The Lake Studies Team in the USGS Wisconsin Water Science Center has expertise in hydrologic data-collection in lake settings, water and nutrient budget development, source-loading analysis, and lake water-quality modeling. The Lakes Team is involved in projects of local, regional, and national interest, with a large number of cooperators.
The Team provides the scientifically based information needed to:
Wisconsin lakes are a natural treasure! Read the USGS Fact Sheet "Why Study Lakes?" FS 063-03.
Limnology (the study of lakes and other freshwater systems) is the science that can provide improved understanding of lake ecosystem dynamics and information that can lead to sound management policies. As more studies are conducted on a variety of lake systems, the accumulated information leads to the development of general concepts about how lakes function and respond to environmental changes.
The condition of a lake at a given time is the result of the interaction of many factors—its watershed, climate, geology, human influence, and characteristics of the lake itself. With constantly expanding databases and increased knowledge, limnologists and hydrologists are able to better understand problems that develop in particular lakes, and further develop comprehensive models that can be used to predict how lakes might change in the future.
While the development of a limnological database and knowledge is important, no amount of generalization can provide a full understanding or predict conditions of any particular lake. Each lake system is unique, and its dynamics can be understood only to a limited degree based on information from other lakes. Just as a physician would not diagnose an individual's medical condition or prescribe treatment without a personal medical examination, a limnologist or hydrologist cannot accurately assess a lake system or suggest a management strategy without data and analysis from that particular lake and its environment.
The Lake Studies team monitors lakes to define their current water quality and trophic status. Lake stage and tributary inflows are monitored to assist in developing water and nutrient budgets. Inflowing streams are monitored by traditional techniques or with acoustic Doppler velocity meters in backwater situations commonly encountered at the mouths of tributaries to lakes. Water-quality sampling in streams is often conducted with automated water samplers. Water-quality problems identified in monitoring projects may provide the basis for proceeding with lake-rehabilitation efforts or a diagnostic study.
More than 50 Wisconsin lakes have been studied by the USGS. See the complete list of all Wisconsin lakes the USGS has studied at:
Ground water can be an important component of lake budgets and must be quantified in order to compile water and nutrient budgets. The Lake Studies team employs ground-water monitoring and modeling where needed to better understand the hydrologic system and a lake's interaction with ground water.
Accurate water and nutrient budgets are needed to identify nutrient sources or causes of water-quality problems in lakes and are necessary for modeling the response in lake water quality to potential changes in nutrient loading. The team is experienced in computing detailed water and nutrient budgets, which account for all major and most minor components of the budgets. Better knowledge of nutrient sources allows planners to focus remediation efforts on those sources where loading reduction will most benefit lake water quality.
Many lakes experience multiple water-quality problems and are in need of rehabilitation measures, or the evaluation of measures already implemented. Lake models are useful in understanding specific processes and estimating how a lake will respond to management actions without the costs of implementing the actions. The Lake Studies Team is experienced in employing eutrophication models such as those contained in the Wisconsin Lake Modeling Suite (WiLMS) and BATHTUB to assess changes in water quality in response to changes in nutrient loading. The Lake Studies Team is also experienced in applying process-driven watershed, hydrodynamic, and water-quality models to provide a better understanding of the physical and water-quality dynamics, oxygen distribution, productivity in lakes, and mixing associated with lake aeration.

Date of Stay: July, 2015
Stayed here again. Been going to the Dells since I was a kid. So far this is my favorite campground in the Dells area! Close enough to everything, but far enough to feel "away from it all". Campground is good size and well maintained. Bath house was very clean the 4 days we stayed. All hookups were in good working order. Plenty of shade. Nice trails to the Wisconsin River. We'll definitely be back again.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
We stayed here for 2 nights. Our site looks like it had recently had some work done to it. No grass, just dirt and a gravel pad. It looks like it may have flooded a few days prior to us arriving. Hardly what I would call a "premium" site! The hookups were placed well and in good working order. The area we were in had plenty of shade. Everything else was nice. Pool was warm and the kids loved the water slide. Game room was OK. We may stay again, but the site selection would dictate if we actually did.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
We were here the week after the 4th. Nice campground on Munising Bay (Lake Superior). We had a lakefront site that was all sand! I would've preferred grass, but it was OK. We were here after a heavy rain. Lots of standing water on the roads and on some sites. Some time spent with a grader and some gravel would do wonders! Water and electric hookups were in good shape. Brand new shower house and dump station this year! Perfect campground for seeing the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
We stayed here over the 4th of July. When we checked in we were given a site. When we went to the pull-through site there was a motor Home there. Office was very helpful and looked into it immediately. Turns out the people pulled into the wrong site, so we were given theirs, no problem. And they gave us free passes for tubing, jumping pillow and water slide! Along with an apology. Very good customer service the entire weekend. Sites are small and even though we had a pull-through you need to disconnect to fit without being in the road. The sites are narrow. You need to position carefully if you have a slide and want to use your awning. All hookups were set up well and on good working order. Pool was warm and clean. You can tube, canoe and kayak from the campground via a shuttle. We've stayed at a lot of KOAs and this is by far the nicest one yet. We would definitely stay when in the area again.
Date of Stay: June, 2015
We stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. It is a state park so we got what we thought we would, a campsite on Lake Michigan. Our site backed to the small dunes that lead out to the lake. Good size sites and fairly level. Nice trails from the back of the sites to the lake. Our site was across from the community water spigot, so between me and a friend in their trailer we had more than enough hose to keep our tanks filled for the weekend. We didn't use any of the bath houses so I can't say how good or bad they were.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Another nice weekend! This is our 6th year going for Labor Day weekend. We had our regular lake front site. Very clean campground with lots to do for everyone. All hookups were perfect. Pool was nice, and warm. Kids had a blast as usual. We will be back again next year.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We stayed here the end of July. Nicely laid out about 2 1/2 miles from downtown Dells so it is a very quiet setting. We had site #43 which had a wood deck. Hookups were in good shape, except for some reason they like to have the sewer hookups 12 inches above the ground! Lots of shade trees. We`ve stayed in a lot of Dells area campgrounds and this one is by far the nicest we have stayed at! The bathrooms were exceptional. The pool area was nice and the pool was heated. They have some nice hiking trails in the woods that go back to the Wisconsin River and down to the waters edge. We were very happy with the campground and will be back next year.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
I chose this campground based on the proximity to Mt Airy. The campground is located off a frontage road off of I-74. You need to watch for the sign for the campground. The road looks like a driveway to a house. The road is long, winding and steep near the back of the campground! The campground is very family friendly and clean. We had a site at the back of the campground on a small lake/pond. A little on the tight side getting to it and backing in for our 35 foot TT, but was doable. Hookups were all in good shape. They have 3 heated pools, 2 are public, and one is for campers only. They also have a Zip Line. Perfect spot for seeing Mt Airy and Pilot Mountain. I rated it a 7 based on the road into the campground. I would go back again if in the area!
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We stayed here for a quick overnight. Easy to get to right off the Interstate. Our site was a pull through that was just barely long enough for our 55 feet of TT and truck. It was level and all hookups worked great. Cable worked good and had plenty of channels. WiFi worked decent at our site. Pool area was clean as was the entire campground. Nice KOA for an overnight. I would stay again if passing through.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
We stayed here the week after the 4th of July. Very nice campground. We chose this campground based on other reviews and the pool/lazy river area. We have a beach front site (#854), the hookups were in the middle of the back of our site with the sewer off to the side, and they were all in good working order. our trailer awning was facing away from the ocean, which is good for the wind. Our slideout with the dinette was facing the ocean, so we had beautiful views of the sunrise and ocean out our window! I recommend this setup. The pool and lazy river were all very nice. We rented a golf cart, which we enjoyed driving in the nightly golf cart parade. With that, if you don`t like noise don`t get an ocean front site! the parade goes from around 9-11 at night. They do stop it promptly at 11 and within minutes there is not one golf cart around. Golf carts have to be parked at 11! We could also sit behind our trailer and watch the parade which is just as much fun as driving in it. And of course the beach, they have beach access points every few hundred feet for easy access. We highly recommend this campground.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Well we came back after a 6 year break. No real reason other than we go to other places. This was Memorial Day weekend 2014. We had a full hook up site which was large and hand plenty of shade. The hookups were in good shape and the water pressure was excellent! Back in 2007 I gave this campground a "10" butl I can`t do that this time. A few reasons: the pool was green on Friday afternoon, which kind of shocked me because the owner took pride in his pool area. By Saturday the pool was cleared up, but was freezing. It was not anywhere near ready for the opening weekend. Then there was the issue of dogs running around unleashed! The family next to us had 3 dogs all not leashed. The guy 3 sites over also had a dog not leashed, that one came down to our site and crapped by us. We complained to the campground owner, but they didn't seem to care as they never came over to say anything and the same thing happened the next day. Our friends were in the site next to us and even their neighbors had a dog that wasn't leashed and running around their site! I did not expect this at this, what I thought was, a well run campground! And finally, golf carts! Way to many for this smaller campground. There was no real reason to have them here. I`m not against golf carts, but the size of this campground does not necessitate a golf cart. Not sure I would recommend this campground at this time due to the issues we ran into. Hopefully he gets it straightened out.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We stayed here again for Columbus Day weekend (Halloween weekend). Great time as usual. Excellent haunted house and Halloween activities. Always lots to do for young and old. The golf carts seemed to be more controlled this year, maybe they took everyone's advice. They even stop all vehicle traffic (including golf carts) during trick or treat time, and it`s enforced! We are already booked for next year. Can`t wait!
Date of Stay: August, 2013
Very nice campground with paved roads, perfect for bike riding. We had a lakefront site on the main lake, very level and grassy. Electric was good. Large heated pool and nice mini golf. This year was our 4th year and we will be back again next year. Always a great and relaxing time. Access at back of campground to the Rock River and a dirt, bike/golf cart trail. Also boat launch access.
Date of Stay: August, 2013
We stayed here again the end of July. We were here last year too at the same time (see review immediately below). This time we were on the lake side of the campground. This side is extremely tight! Hookups were good. The only issue is the dump station is in the other campground on the other side of the highway, kind of a pain to drag the gray water tote across the highway. The area is all sand, so you better love sand if your in the area. Lots to do in the area, and the town is within walking distance from the campground. For the price it was a decent stay.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We stayed at this park on our way back from Cedar Point to stop in and check out the RV/MH Museum in Elkhart. We arrived on Thursday and the park was empty and quiet. We had a pull through which was OK, but nothing special. The pools were chilly, but warmer than other pools we`ve been in. Overall everything was taken care of. This park just didn`t have the OHH, AHH that others talk about. I would probably not stay again, only because it didn`t have that warm feeling I get from nicer campgrounds.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Youfit is in the style of old school gyms that don't care about customer service and try to manipulate you into signing this "easy" and "month to month" membership that is not so easy to get out of. I joined Youfit thinking "$10 a month! Awesome!" and left with a very sour taste in my mouth. Though I say left with a grain of salt because they are still taking my money, so I haven't really left per se.
I moved out of the area for a job, and the move was very last minute. I didn't get a change to cancel a lot of things, like my utilities, and my gym membership. No problem right? I can do that over the phone or internet, or even a fax right? WRONG. I was able to cancel my power, my water, my gas, my internet, and my cable easily over the phone or online, but my gym, NO WAY!
I called and was told I would have to send them a certified letter, which is pretty tough since I have to actually get to a post office and I work a Monday to Friday job from 8 to 530. So, with this concern I asked if I could fax or email something, nope. I wrote a complaint to the Contact Us section of their website, 2 weeks later no response. Then, this month, I was hit with a $30 cleaning fee. I haven't used the gym in months due to me not living in the same city, but d**n can they take my $30 (plus the $10 they've been taking every month).
So, I once again wrote to the Contact Us section of the website. I am STILL waiting on a response. It's pretty ridiculous that I can cancel literally anything else over the phone and there are many many ways to prove my credentials, but Youfit feels the need to make it as difficult as possible and keep taking my money for as long as they can.
Poor customer service and poor management.

|st: RE: String help
|Tue, 4 Oct 2005 21:08:12 +0100
You can make progress on this by looking at the help for string functions. There is no royal road to geometry, or to this kind of thing. The solutions tend to be pedestrian and literal. This could be refined, but it should help a bit. "PAGES" or "COST" can be the last word, so let's pick that off when it occurs. . rename string s . gen pages_or_cost = word(s,-1) if inlist(word(s,-1), "PAGES", "COST") Zapping that will simplify things a bit. Create a copy to be safe. . gen s2 = subinstr(s, pages_or_cost,"",1) if pages_or_cost == word(s,-1) Now let's look for the drug number. We want the position of the first numeric digit. Some people would do this with regexps but as I warned my solution is pedestrian. First I find where the first "0" is by . gen index = index(s2,"0") if index(s2, "0") but I make sure that I get missing not 0 if there is no occurrence. and then I see if any other numeric digit 1 ... 9 occurs earlier. Again, I need to be careful to ignore 0 results for -index()- which mean "not found". . qui forval i = 1/9 { 2. replace index = min(index, index(s2, "`i'")) if index(s2, "`i'") 3. } Then like Caesar and ancient Gaul I attempt a division into three parts. . gen company = substr(s2,1,index - 1) . gen drug_number = substr(s2,index,5) . gen after = substr(s2,index + 5,.)

films The Best Movies That Were Originally Panned by Critics f p @
List Rules Upvote your favorite movie that was panned by critics. Only add films that received a negative critical response.
When it comes down to it, critics have a subjective opinion, just like every member of the audience. Critics also tend to be more cynical and biased towards films that are breaking new ground, because they have seen so many movies in their lives. A lot of these great movies that were initially hated on by critics withstood the test of time, or were adopted by audiences as their favorites.
A lot of the films on this list were missed by critics because they were expecting something and got something else entirely. This is the case with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Predator. Critics claimed that there was no plot in either movie, and that they lacked real story-telling structure. The reasons why audience members like these movies, however, had nothing to do with a well-put together plot line. Many people enjoyed them because of their unique exploration of a subculture, or graphic action sequences.
Not all movies are instant classics. Some require the kindness of time to look more appealing, or the interest of a select group of fans to turn the movie into a cult classic. Who knows? Baz Luhrmann's 2013 version of The Great Gatsby may just have a chance after all.
The Shining
Kubrick is good at making movies that everyone dislikes, realizes that they were chumps for disliking it, and then pretends to have liked all along. For example, Roger Ebert gave the movie a bad review, only to go back on it later.
Variety regarded the film as a destruction of everything that made the Stephen King book terrifying, and said that Shelley Duvall "transforms the warm sympathetic wife of the book into a simpering, semi-retarded hysteric." In fact – Shelley was nominated for a Razzie for worst actress for the role, along with – for reals – Kubrick for worst director! Wow.
In fairness – the movie was probably the worst adaptation when you think about, and by 'worst' I mean least loyal. Hell – Jack doesn't even have an ax in the book, but rather a mallet. But hey – can you imagine if Kubrick kept that in?

Upon its release, the reviews for this movie weren't all terrible but rather just so-so. It's rise to Classic Film status just goes to show that if a film strikes a chord with the public, its greatness can't be denied.
At the time though – the film was "plainly a gimmick movie", and even a "blot on an honorable career." In a particularly pretentiously written review, the New York Times said it had "not an abundance of subtlety" and was an "obviously low-budget job." No one hated it – but no one thought it to be anything all that special either.

It's a Wonderful Life
When It's a Wonderful Life was first released in 1946, it received generally negative reviews. It was the next generation of the 60s and 70s that so loved the film that it became the classic that it is today.
Bosley Crowther, writing for The New York Times, complimented some of the actors, including Stewart and Reed, but concluded that "the weakness of this picture, from this reviewer's point of view, is the sentimentality of it—its illusory concept of life. Mr. Capra's nice people are charming, his small town is a quite beguiling place and his pattern for solving problems is most optimistic and facile. But somehow they all resemble theatrical attitudes rather than average realities."

The other victories in that stretch came against Marquette in 2007 (W, 7-0), Vanderbilt in 2010 (W, 4-3) and TCU in 2013 (W, 4-3). The Maize and Blue is 9-0 in season openers under head coach Bruce Berque.
Michigan at the Varsity Tennis Center -- The Wolverines have been tough to beat at the VTC since the facility opened in 1997. Michigan is 73-24 (.753) since the 2005 season and is 133-44 (.751) overall at the complex.
Scouting Western Michigan -- The Broncos, who have won 10 Mid-American Conference titles over the last 15 seasons, began their dual-match season in impressive fashion, winning all nine matches against Detroit in the team's home opener last Friday (Jan. 10). Western Michigan lost just two players for last year's lineup that went 19-11 overall before falling to Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. U-M owns a 53-8 all-time series record against Western Michigan, and the Wolverines have won seven in a row against the Broncos, including a 7-0 shutout against WMU at the Varsity Tennis Center to open up the 2012 dual-match season.
Scouting Toledo -- The Rockets opened their 2014 campaign against a Big Ten foe, falling at Michigan State, 6-1, on Saturday (Jan. 11). Toledo sophomore Ryan Jorgensen notched the team's lone singles victory in the match, a 6-5 (4), 6-5 (7) decision at the No. 6 position. The Rockets finished the 2013 season with a 19-10 overall record, including a 1-4 mark in the Mid-American Conference. U-M holds a perfect 14-0 record against Toledo in the all-time series, with the most-recent victory coming during the 2004 season, when the Wolverines earned a 6-1 victory in Ann Arbor.
Key Biscayne Individuals Rewind -- The Wolverines posted a combined 10-13 singles record and went 6-6 in doubles in round-robin competition against No. 20 Texas, No. 24 LSU and No. 57 Denver at the Key Biscayne Individuals Jan. 5-7. Playing in his hometown of Key Biscayne, Fla., senior Alex Buzzi won two of three singles matches at the event, earning a straight-sets victory over Denver's Eric Marbach, 6-5 (1), 6-5 (6), before knocking off LSU's Tam Trinh, 6-3, 6-5 (1). Two other Wolverines posted similar 2-1 records in the singles competition. Freshman Kevin Wong downed Denver's William Ro, 6-0, 6-1, on the opening day before closing the event with a straight-sets decision over LSU's Eric Perez, 6-3, 6-0, while redshirt junior Justin Rossi earned victories over LSU's Andrew Korinek, 6-3, 6-4, and Denver's Alex Clinkenbeard, 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
Wolverine To Watch -- Senior Barrett Franks, who was selected to the All-Big Ten second team last season after finishing the year with a career-best 17-7 dual-match record, looks to build on a standout junior campaign. The Christchurch, New Zealand, native won 11 of his last 12 singles matches to conclude the regular season, including one match from the No. 2 position and five from the No. 3 spot. In total, he posted a 9-1 mark in Big Ten singles action last season.
In Their Debut -- Freshmen Tyler Gardiner and Kevin Wong both made their collegiate debuts during the fall individual season. Wong went 6-5 in singles competition while Gardiner posted a 2-4 mark through his first three singles matches for the Maize and Blue. Two other freshmen -- Davis Crocker and Alex Knight-- joined the team this semester and both players and expected to redshirt this season.
Point of Emphasis -- The Wolverines claimed the doubles point in 14 of 26 dual matches last season, combining for a 29-27 doubles record. U-M's ability to win the doubles point had a direct correlation to the team's overall record. Michigan was 10-4 in 2013 winning the doubles point and 6-6 when dropping the initial point.
The Captains -- At the conclusion of the fall season, seniors Shaun Bernstein and Barrett Franks and junior Alex Petrone were voted by their teammates to serve as team captains for the 2014 season. This marks the third consecutive season Bernstein has been voted a captain by his peers.
Future Wolverines -- Michigan inked two top prep players -- Runhao (Leo) Hua (Shanghai, China/Edison Academics) and Cameron Norrie (Auckland, New Zealand/Macleans College) -- to National Letters of Intent during the early signing period this fall. Hua holds a career-best International Tennis Federation (ITF) Junior World Ranking of 138. Norrie has been ranked as high as No. 10 in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Junior World Rankings and holds 12 ITF titles (five singles and seven doubles). Both players will join the Maize and Blue next fall.
A Look Back -- Michigan posted a 16-10 record in 2012-13, including a 9-2 mark in Big Ten play and qualified for the NCAA Championships for the eighth consecutive season. Senior Evan King, a three-time ITA All-American, ended his illustrious Michigan career with a 116-34 singles record and became U-M's all-time leader in combined singles and doubles wins with 195. The 2013 Big Ten Athlete of the Year award recipient, King finished his senior campaign with a 32-5 singles record, including a 23-1 mark in dual matches and a perfect 10-0 record in Big Ten play. King was a unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team, while Barrett Franks was an All-Big Ten second team selection
Coaching Staff -- Head coach Bruce Berque is in his 10th year at the helm of the Wolverine program, compiling a 143-91 overall record and 60-22 Big Ten mark over his tenure. Berque has led the Wolverines to eight consecutive NCAA Championships berths, including the 2008 Sweet 16, and has finished among the top four of the Big Ten in eight of nine seasons. Jeremy Wurtzman is in his first season as Michigan's associate head coach. A former ATP tour professional and a three-year standout at Ohio State, Wurtzman spent the last four years as the head coach of the University of Denver women's tennis program.
Saturday, Jan. 25 -- vs. Mississippi - ITA Kick-Off (Oxford, Miss.), 10 a.m.
Sunday, Jan. 26 -- vs. Clemson or Illinois - ITA Kick-Off (Oxford, Miss.), Time TBA

As Russell T. Davies and his Doctor Who production group fold up their boxes and clean out their offices, the BBC and new show-runner Steven Moffat introduced the producers who'll guide Matt Smith's era as the 11th Doctor.
According to the BBC's press office, Moffat didn't look too far afield to build his new team. New producer Tracie Simpson was in charge of the Easter special, "Planet Of The Dead," and producer Peter Bennett managed the new Torchwood series, "Children of Earth."
The show will also add a third executive producer, Beth Willis, who joins Moffat and Piers Wenger. She comes from her own sci-fi background as producer of the BBC's sequel to Life on Mars, Ashes To Ashes. Together, the new team will implement Moffat's changes to the show — including what fans expect will be a darker tone.
Meanwhile, production continues on the final two special episodes of 2009 in which David Tennant's 10th Doctor will regenerate.
