Research Project Grants Scheme 2013 (Closed)
This Research Project Grants (RPG) Scheme is designed with the objective of facilitating researchers and research teams to build capacity in their research area by way of stimulus project grants and knowledge transfer initiatives. The rationale for this scheme is to provide funding for researchers to enable them to expand their research activities and become competitive for International Funding Opportunities. This is being facilitated through:
- Small-medium sized projects such as exploratory investigations which may lead to larger and more sustainable research projects and programmes;
- Research staff;
- Knowledge transfer initiatives;
- Networking and collaboration on national or international levels.
It is also recognised that taking new directions in research may require the development of new research skills or new methodological approaches.
This call for applications is managed by the Irish Research Council (the Council) and includes specific strands that are managed on behalf of the Department of Social Protection (DSP), the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Programme (CPP), and Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) / Higher Education Authority (HEA).

Nettlestead Place
"The venue was perfect. The undercroft is intimate and personal, the grounds spectacular and Annabel is a wonderful host allowing us to be independent in what we wanted to do but approachable and invaluable when needing advice. Our flowers were done by my mother in law who is just starting out in the wedding flower business. They were amazing. I would be happy to recommend. Photographer was Niki Jones http://nikijonesphotography.com/ we wanted casual, relaxed and intimate pictures that truly represented the day. Niki captured that perfectly"
"At NettleStead Place they have a Marquee up all summer. The marquee was provided by Cavendish http://www.cavendishmarquees.co.uk/. Dave was great. He met us before hand and went through everything that we wanted. On the day his team were available to answer any questions etc. Very happy. We used the Kent Event Hire company for all cutlery and crockery hire http://www.thekenteventhirecompany.co.uk/ they were very helpful and accomodating. We used the Hop Pole Inn to provide a bar, they were great although not the best at time keeping during the run up to the day. Finally we used Henrietta Donovan for our catering. http://www.henriettadonovan.co.uk/ We have had nothing but amazing reviews from our guests about all of the food. Henrietta was attentive and served up fabulous fresh and gorgeous tasting canapes, Roast pork loin with dauphnoise and seasonal veg, dessert was Strawberries and cream with meringue - just delicious. We also used staff provided by Henrietta and they were attentive and brilliant!"

I have zero interest in the Warhammer RTS stuff but at $5 for all of that... I might just have to buy it out of principle.
I actually bought the franchise pack during the Holiday sale, but even I might pull the trigger on this one. While this pack is missing a few items, it has one advantage over the steam copy sitting in my inventory, separate keys. Which means I won't lose all the DoW stuff that I already have just so I can add Retribution to my library.
Looks like I'll finally have something else to use another coupon on. Only used one of my thirteen so far.

97 540i Towing Eye
Hello everyone, I need to have my 540 towed and when the flatbed arrived he called and said he couldnt tow it because I didnt have a towing eye.
Question: I know there's a tool set in the trunk, would the towing eye be included or is this a part that will have to purchased from the dealership?
Thanks in advance for all help.
Yes, towing eye is included in tool tray.
But The tow guy should be able to hook the chains somewhere on the front subframe and
that should work. THat area is 10x more rigid than the bumper.
Just dont hook the control arms.... or any front suspension arms for that matter.
front control arms have big yellow stickers that say "DO NOT TOW OR LASH" so you can pretty much guarantee that is where he will hook the cable.
Yeah, the tags say "No chains, just straps." Mine are goughed up by the low life who brought my baby out here.

For those whose ancestors migrated to America from eastern Europe, it is difficult to grasp how Jews in Israel consider themselves to be Jews. It might help to improve a Jewish attitude if the following happened in Israel:
1. Jewish students learn about hatred and discrimination against Jews in Europe and the US. Kids, we faced restrictions on where we could live, just like the ones you folks impose on Palestinians!
2. Create a Virtual Reality program that places students in Nazi Germany where they can learn about the fruits of hatred.
3. Send Avigdor Lieberman back to Russia, he fits in with Putin's ideas on government.
4. Place Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a room where he spends fifteen hours a day listening to his racist hating statements against Palestinians.
5. At least 10% of tech jobs in Israel reserved for Palestinians.
6. A compulsory course on Muslim cultures and Arab history.
7. At least two Arab Israelis in the Cabinet.
8. Israel should take lead in creation of a Middle Eastern Economic Union.
9. End control of Orthodox Rabbis over marriage and who is a Jew.
10. Prior to displaying hatred toward Palestinians ask self: Is what I am doing what was done to Jews in Europe and America?

The babies are growing up fast. Their little eyes are open now. The little calico still hisses at Mom every time she comes in. Dad says "another little psycho". Huh. The pale one is getting very fluffy but Mom still can't tell what color she is going to be. Now she thinks maybe a grey and white bicolor - but very pale grey. The little orange tiger likes to hide in the folds of the big dog bed I stole for them.
No one has seen sister Clarice for four days now. It's a dangerous job, being a barn cat in the desert. If she doesn't show up by the time the kittens are weaned, we'll just keep all three babies, Mom says.
Meanwhile, I'm hunting again. Now and then the humans see me creeping about in the underbrush. Got to make sure the kittens get a taste for the really good stuff, like mouse guts.
Why are you humans making faces?
My babies have opened their little eyes and seen the world firsthand. The pale one took one look and squeezed her little eyes shut again. The little callie (the one my human thought was grey and white - we snuck a bit of orange onto her face) took one look and hissed and spat and the little orange one just follows callie's lead...
I've finally started hunting a bit again. A girls got to keep a paw in.
As if I were not busy enough as one of the only two WORKING cats - three days ago I gave birth to three kittens. Mom shook her head, said something about consorting with huge tiger toms from the desert. Then sighed and said they'll be easy to place, since they'll be great mousers like ME.
Well, of course.
I think sister Clarice had kittens in the rafters last night. She won't tell me and Mom can't get up high enough to see for sure - but Clarice won't come down for breakfast.
I have a grey tiger and white, looks a lot like my brothers Cowboy and Einstein, an orange tiger, and a very pale golden kit. Mom thinks it might, just MAYBE turn out Siamese colored like that brat MYST. Huh, I hope not. She is about useless - and much too smooschy with humans. Her job is apparently to be sweet and beautiful. Disgusting.
I spent three days in the nest with my kits, but it's time for me to get back to work on the rodent patrol - at least part-time.
Mom took a photo of me and my new kittens. She was surprised it came out as the pump house is quite dark - but it isn't too bad.

Oregon Governor Puts Out Medicaid Plans
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Gov. John Kitzhaber will brief other state leaders this weekend on his plan to lower Medicaid costs, touting an overhaul that President Barack Obama highlighted in his State of the Union address for its potential to lower the deficit even as health care expenses climb. The Oregon Democrat leaves for Washington, D.C., today to pitch his plan that changes the way doctors and hospitals are paid and improves health care coordination for low income residents so that treatable medical problems don't grow in severity or expense. Kitzhaber says his goal is to win over a handful of other governors from each party.

Who should face Cesaro for the US championship next?

Re: Who should face Cesaro for the US championship next?
My vote goes to Jack Swagger, but only after he is repackaged. This would include various vignettes of him with a new look, attitude, and All-American feel to him. Possibly videos of him talking about how much he failed, and literally allowed all the fame to go to his head. Have him drop the ankle lock, and give him a whole new finisher. Why not let him do 3 "Belly to Belly Suplex", as opposed to the commonly used 3 "German Suplex". Change his attire because it is still a clear reminder of Kurt Angle. May I add that he shouldn't just be thrown in to a feud with Cesaro. Have him "Tap Out" his opponents. Put him up against Mahal, Drew, and Slater.
The issue with Cesaro shouldn't be about what country he is from. Swagger should tell Cesaro that he was born to wear that title. Cesaro disagree, and tells Swagger that the United States title represents the most powerful nation on the planet. Antonio says he is a physical representation of that type of power this country holds over the rest of the world. Cesaro tells Swagger he is way out of his league, and should consider finding the tag team division. Insults back, and forth perhaps Cesaro sends Jack the finest "Swiss" chocolates just to play mind games with him, and taunt him.
Antonio would tells Jack to not get things twisted because he loves American pay checks, and has no problem representing a country that defines dominance, and global power. He says he came to the WWE the most powerful, and well known wrestling organization on the planet first to prove that he was the greatest United States Champion of all time, and eventually prove that he is the greatest WWE Champion, or WHC of all time. Antonio says, but first it was essential for him to prove that he is the best "Wrestler" in the United States of America, and that means he had to win the United States title.
Cesaro tells Jack he was born to win World titles, not anything more, or anything less. Jack says he already won a World title, and part of his life today is proving to the fans that he is worth even having a title as prestigious as the United States Championship. Jack tells Cesaro that he will one day "Tap him out", and take what is rightfully his. Swagger tells Cesaro that he's never even said the "Pledge of Allegiance", and so what business does he have wearing that title. I would then have Cesaro interrupt one of Swagger's matches, and start reciting the "Pledge of Allegiance".
You just can't throw them one on one right away, and I happen to think both men can use some refining of their characters in small, but yet effective ways. The Main Event is another hour of television time that I feel can prolong, or enhance any character, or angle. Perhaps having Cesaro come out each, and every week scouting various matches just to get an idea of who he may face each week. No one really does this unless they are in a feud already. I think this is something that should just be a part of his character. He should carry that "I'm a celebrity attitude" about him.
Possibly, have him wear expensive suits, and sun glasses. Every time he is ringside he makes a point of it. Maybe have him come with something like "Cesaro's Corner" in which every night he has a designated area where he, and only he sits to watch matches. That way he can cut promos on who can't wrestle, and basically pick on certain stars (face) stars, and thus sets up matches between himself, and other wrestlers. That way we don't have these random matches each, and every week vs Tyson Kidd, or Brodus Clay. This is something that should be a part of his character, and not something brief. Let him carry this out for a few months, and then have the GM take that privilege once they see that he is costing people their matches.
Jack Swagger should have something to his character as well. I know this may sound cheap, but I think he should have his "thing" be that he gives younger fans a gold medal. Tells them they are "Champions", and he would refer to his fans as "Champions". Obviously, guys like Bret Hart, or Rey Mysterio were known for giving things to fans, and I happen to think this is something that could really go over. It's some what of a confidence booster, and who knows may be some kid would feel good after that? If a kid is willing to cry over some "bad guy" ripping his sign, then shouldn't that same kid have nothing, but tears of joy after being called a champion and given a "gold plated" medal by a "good guy"?
Generally I just feel that every superstar should have "their thing" what ever that may be. For Swagger in my case it should be handing out "gold-plated medals" to kids ringside similar to the Bret Hart, and the sun glasses bit. Cesaro's would be to work the arrogant, and powerful Swiss Monster that watches every match ringside in "Cesaro's Corner" live on Raw, or even taped on Smackdown. This is seriously missing from the WWE where the stars don't really have "their thing". Million Dollar shoved money down your mouth, and had a fake belt to help satisfy his ego of having a title. Jake The Snake Roberts had a fucking Burmese Python.
I'm not suggesting bringing reptiles, or animals ringside, but at least these people had characters, and ideas to go along with them. The Road Warriors had the football pads with spikes, or Raven was the disturbed man who spoke his pain through what sounded like poetry at times. There are plenty of stars on the roster that just have no character, and it's a shame because there is plenty of talent waiting with no real direction, or true leadership.

Khloe Kardashian Helps Rob with his Socks
Playing the role of supportive sister, Khloe Kardashian accompanied Rob as he picked up his new socks collection in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday (June 6).
The youngest Kardashian sister wore a long-sleeved black top with cropped workout leggings while her baby brother sported a black T-shirt, shorts, and an L.A. Dodgers baseball cap.
Enlisting the help of more family, the 26-year-old designer got half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner to model the new line.
Pleased with the results, Rob tweeted a photo of the ladies with the caption, "GOOD shoot today for #ArthurGeorge Thanks to all you Beautiful people!"

Tea Party Views on Afghanistan
Tea party views on Afghanistan war.
The Afghanistan Study Group has released a new survey of conservative and Tea Party sentiments of the war in Afghansitan.
When given a choice between three options, 66% believe we can either reduce the troop levels in Afghanistan, but continue to fight the war effectively (39%) or think we should leave Afghanistan all together, as soon as possible (27%). Just 24% of conservatives believe we should continue to provide the current level of troops to properly execute the war. 64% of Tea Party supporters think we should either reduce troop levels (37%) or leave Afghanistan (27%) while 28% support maintaining current troop levels. Among conservatives who don't identify with the Tea Party movement, 70% want a reduction (43%) or elimination (27%) of troops while only 18% favoring continuation of the current level.
A majority of conservatives agree that the United States can dramatically lower the number of troops and money spent in Afghanistan without putting America at risk. 57% say they agree with that statement after hearing about the current number of troops in country and the funding needed to support them. Only a third (34%) do not agree with this statement. Among Tea Party supports 55% agree that we can reduce the number of troops without compromising security while 38% disagree. Among non Tea Party conservatives, 60% agree with this statement while 27% disagree.

Housing rents unaffordable for families
Could rent controls or caps tackle the problem of housing rents pricing out families in English boroughs? Research from the homeless charity Shelter this week which found that average private rents were unaffordable for ordinary working families in 55% of local authorities in England got commenters thinking.
paulywarlydoodle adds a personal take:
I work in the construction industry in Wales and the government budgets for social housing have been halved even though there is a housing shortage, in affordable rents and affordable housing to buy, yet thousands of construction workers are jobless, it is crazy, this government or the Welsh assembly have not got a clue, you could reduce unemployment and reduce the housing shortage by investing in housing to rent.
SpinDoctor13 comments on one possible solution posed by commenters – rent caps:
I think rent caps would harm everyone though – it would push the quality of rental property down and I think in the mid/long term cause an even greater shortage of housing.
Solution is more housing (and capital moving out of property into more productive areas), although simpler said than done
JillI, writer of the story, adds:
It's not just the cost but quality that is the issue. Newham council is exploring a new method of controlling landlords that it would be great to see other councils try out – http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2011/sep/29/newham-landlords-licensing-scheme
Also the length of rental contracts in the UK is hopeless – how can anyone lead a stable life if they know they can be kicked out of their home every six months. We need long term leases.
wjk7 comes in on this issue:
I made a vociferous complaint to my former MP (Lib Dem) in February about the cuts in HB/LHA and rent rises and the pressing need for rent control legislation and a reconsideration of the benefit cuts for private tenants, many of whom are either in poorly paid work or retired – like me.
All he could say was that 'things would be worse if the Lib Dems weren't in the coaltion': small comfort!
This will get worse as the recession deepens and the demand rises, driven by population pressure and falling incomes.
tufsoft has this to say on rent controls:
Rent controls would solve a lot of problems. Aside from making rented housing affordable, they would damp down inflated house prices by cutting back the buy to let inflation. Of course, some house owners would suffer losses, but the government could offer to buy BTL properties back at a fair price and use them for social housing.
tryinghard looks at the situation in the north-east:
I live in the north-east which has nothing like the housing problem of the rest of the country but here the local authority housing rates are beginning to cause problems. A single person under 35 is allowed £43 per week housing benefit, but we have a university and students typically pay over £60, who will take in the DSS person then?
Child poverty figures
New figures released by the Institute for Fiscal Studies suggesting that the government's overhaul of the tax and benefits system will result in a further 400,000 children falling into relative poverty during this parliament generated strong reaction from our comments about what poverty is in real terms and how to tackle the problem.
SamuelTaylor writes:
The definition of British poverty does confuse me a bit, however, most things confuse me, so that isn't exactly surprising!
Until fairly recently our family (2 adults 4 children) we were just living on family allowance and carers allowance, obviously there were a lot of things we couldn't buy/do. But we still managed to eat enough, obviously in the winter it was pretty tough, but you can always put more layers on to keep warm.
In a lot of cases parents are struggling, but they are also spending their money on things they don't need, I know someone who couldn't afford for his daughter to attend a £4 school trip but he could afford a monthly contact with the gym, the cheapest package is £35! Although they tend to be the ones that everyone hears about, which is very annoying.
FrancesSmith adds:
in my view it would be better to calculate basic living costs and then measure poverty relative to those costs, rather than argue that poverty should be measured by peoples relative position to each other in society. As the implication of such a measurement for assessing child poverty is that it suggests that its perfectly OK for people without children to be destitute. which is actually quite offensive to me.
Lime83 responds:
Children (that's CHILDREN) are not responsible for their parents' lifestyle, whatever it may be (and still, I'm fairly sure no one would be poor by choice, and depending on the welfare state is not a life ambition, don't believe the hype). It is our duty, as a society, to look after them if their parents can't.
tiredgiraffe comments:
Child poverty is terrible to see. I would like to urge anyone here who is concerned about their own community to think of organisations like HomeStart, which looks after vulnerable families. If you can't volunteer then think about donating old kids' clothes (especially warm ones, and blankets) or baby equipment. HomeStart also gives Christmas gifts to families who cannot afford them; donations welcome. Of course, it shouldn't come to this; and we need to challenge the government too. But your time and spare stuff can really make a huge difference to people who have absolutely nothing.
Reality Check: is this generation bust?
Another post on Polly Curtis' Reality Check blog inspired a number of commenters to add their views on this question and a possible solution.
decentdrapery comments:
This is deeply worrying. The situation we are living in has all the hallmarks of a poverty trap. Only those lucky enough to find jobs or able to live off their parents will be able to make their way out unless action is taken to help young people. The others will try to make do with the £50 odd a week they get from Jobseekers allowance whilst their debts pile up in the vain hope that things will soon improve. Some will take jobs they are overqualified for and spend the next decade clawing their way out. Others will be luckier, there is no doubt. But for the most part, young people's options are more limited than ever. I feel most sorry for those that are finishing school right now and don't know if they want to go to university but know they won't be able to get a job and don't want to live at home. It must be crippling.
Boomblastandriun adds:
The question of whether it is the hardest period ever in which to grow up, is too vague a question.
It is arguably the hardest period in modern time in which to become independent. But the vast majority to whom this question is relevant have their health, have parents who they can live with and be fed and watered and give them a roof over their heads.
For those who don't have this, life is simply hard and "growing up" is not uppermost in the mind. These are the permanently impoverished who probably don't think now is any different to how it has always been.
So don't get confused. Independence is hard to attain but the reason for the question in this article seems to be inextricable from the fact that this generation has had such a comfortable and cushy upbringing that there has never been an easier time do your first 18 years of "growing up".
oommph responds:
We can really only play the hand we are dealt and look at the ops. Some opportunities are far better now. The EU has opened up chances to work in other nations. We spend student life in the best parts of town rather than mouse-ridden squalor etc.
I don't recall the early 70s being a time of wonder either. The old middle-class life might have been great … as long as you were part of that far smaller middle class who hoarded the ops and the money.
For the rest of us, our parents and grandparents usually found that the alternative to insecure employment forms was not a featherbedded lifelong job of their choosing with fabulous pension. It was lifelong unemployment or 25 years in a chemical factory and very possibly early death from industrial illness. It was not expensive homeownership – it was no chance of owning and (a generation earlier) slums.
What the younger generation is paying the price for is – perversely – positive in a lot of ways. Greater equality of opportunity. That more of us have access to a slice of the cake. But that means the cake is smaller, that competition for scarce assets like the best homes and the best jobs is fiercer etc etc.
angelamarica says:
Kids are living with their parents now until they are 37! That can't be good for anyone.
If you don't have a computer or mobile, it is true you can end up a social outcast. The drinking culture pushed down from my generation is also very damaging. I drink hardly at all and find I am ostracised by many people for that.
Something has been stinking for a long time in Rip-Off Britain, and our generation is to blame. My advice to the young people is get on the streets and those of our generation who are not greedy and selfish should join you.
Europe on the breadline
Jon Henley began his visit to southern Europe this week searching for the human stories behind the European debt crisis. Jon is tweeting his progress from @JonHenley and you can help direct him using the hashtag #EuroDebtTales. He began his journey in Portugal where his reports generated some fascinating accounts from commenters based in the country.
brunheiras, who has lived and worked in Portugal for 20 years, adds:
I'm not sure the public support these exaggerated cuts just because they voted in the present government. The fact is that it came in by default, because the last government was a shambles. (This is pretty much how elections operate here) … As for the powers that be, your average Portuguese think that politicians of all colours are a joke, as is the justice system. Everyone fears the future. Everyone over 40 remembers the state of things before the EU money came in … Enough of this. It's a beautiful day in Alentejo. Someone next door is cooking what smells like a wonderful caldeirada. My neighbor Salvador is still whistling while he works.
PeteinPortugal adds:
I'd agree that there are lots of things to be optimistic about in Portugal, especiallly outside Greater Lisbon: the countryside is beautiful. But these articles do seem to have deliberately zero-ed in on the pessimists, and skew the overall picture I get from living in Portugal ie little evidence of seething discontent but banal (non-newsworthy) normality … perhaps marred by a little bizarre novo rico consumerism, and with a little more belt-tightening this year/next year.
Most people are just getting on with their lives, and Rossio is not Syntagma Square … My own position is that the current crisis is more of an opportunity than a threat: external scrutiny of public finances, and shedding media sunlight on the dealings of Portuguese politicians-financiers-oligarchs, is perhaps overdue.
uberdonkey5 comments:
Portugal is 2nd only to the UK for wealth division. However, the effects are different since it is also one of the poorest countries in Europe, so many are working for around €600 a month, and these are long weeks. Lisbon is particularly difficult place because rents are high (a room would be around €300 a month).
Definately the quality of life (sunshine etc) is high, but the real problem is long term. Highly educated people are leaving because the older generation prevent the advancement of new people (scared about their own jobs). Unemployment benefit is only if you have had work for 15 months, and payed social security (many jobs, eg post-doctoral researchers or self-employed, don't get any benefits if they are not working – they return to their parents house or they starve).
… The problem is hope. For example, I am earning less than €1000 a month, without pension, without unemployment benefit, and in a four-month contract. I have nine years of higher education, and my pay (in science) is frozen without expectation of ever increasing (been stagnant for seven years). When my contract ends I will effectively be forced out of the country, despite having all my friends here, because I cannot live on nothing.
A young, enthusiastic, highly educated work force needs prospects. Whether this is in business loans, or job opportunities. Portugal has huge underemployment and huge emigration. A super place to live, a terrible place to work.
Thanks for all your comments this week.

Thats why you keep the SA up. Glad it ended well. Not sure of some details, but going into the field seems dangerous if they were able to catch up, but I am sure your judgement said it was the best route.
This is a discussion on I might have been mugged or a victim... within the Home (And Away From Home) Defense Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; In my line of work I often find myself at hotels for a long period of time. I am not one to just sit around ...
In my line of work I often find myself at hotels for a long period of time. I am not one to just sit around so I went out for a walk and get some food. I Was walking back from eating and decided to not just sit in my room for the rest ofnthe day so I stopped at a gas station being renovated and sat on a post/block thing to browse web and chill. Since reading defensive carry I knew that this was easy prey so I kept my head on a swivel. I kept my scan going and had situational awareness for the most part. After awhile of sitting and browsing on my phone I noticed two guys approaching from behind me. One guy was walking backwards like if trying to be sneaky and not have me notice, which threw a huge red flag. The other guy was coming around at another angle appearing to corner me or cut me off. Normally I would just casually walk away like no big deal as if I wasn't aware that they were there. Not this time. They had my radar going off like crazy. I hopped up and took off. As soon as I brislky walked away they immediately stopped coming at me and went towards their car behind the station. Now I'm like crap are they gonna follow me? There are no sidewalks so I cut across the street and through an open gassy field. Came to a restaurant and saw some sheriff cars so I stood there for a bit. Didn't see them follow me so I cut back across the street to hotel. I know it wasn't the brightest idea to just sit and chill where I was, but this was a good lesson that this could happen anywhere at any time. This was at 1pm in a populated area. I am certainly glad I didn't just brush it off even if it was me over reacting, who knows what would have happened.
Thats why you keep the SA up. Glad it ended well. Not sure of some details, but going into the field seems dangerous if they were able to catch up, but I am sure your judgement said it was the best route.

A few things:
1) You should read the rules regarding appropriate language on this forum. Your post is laced with a few colorful metaphors which is frowned upon.
2) Rule of stupids: don't do stupid things, in stupid places, with stupid people least you win a stupid prize.
3)Avoid, evade, escape, which it appears you did. As you said, situational awareness is the key. It would have still been better to not temp fate if this area were suspect.
Let me clarify a bit. I typed that up quick. It wasn't a field per se, like a field one would think. It was an open grassy area where future businesses could go. I'll upload a pic from my window of where I stopped and the "field" if it turns out.
Edit for pics added. First is where I stopped. Second is the "field" I went across.
Makes sense. I hate the "stop and robs" and ATM's. Avoid em as much as possible. As you knew or at least know SA is key. As NoWay2 said, it is best to avoid those places. Playing the odds is dangerous. Sounds like you did fine by me.

Glad you "made" them before they got too close.

There's nothing wrong with hanging out and enjoying the afternoon in public places.
Unfortunately, you have to constantly be aware of what's going on around you and whether or not you are presenting yourself as a good target of opportunity. For example, sitting in a park, enjoying the view and being outdoors is one thing. Having your head buried in a book or electronic device and being preoccupied with something else, unfortunately sends off signals to predators that easy prey is in range.
Often times, thugs may have no intention of scoring at the time, but if they just happen to come across someone who is completely preoccupied, they may see that as a target of opportunity and just too good to pass up.
They may have seen you as a target of opportunity, and when you popped up and took off, they decided to just go on, and not worth pursuing you.
I'm glad everything turned out okay. You gotta pay attention, or risk being targeted.

Lump sums while receiving an income support payment
You may get income as a lump sum. A lump sum is a one off payment of money.
If you get a lump sum, it may affect your income support payment.
How we assess a lump sum amount for the income test depends on its nature. Generally, we treat lump sum amounts as income from the date you're entitled to receive the money.
If you get a lump sum, you need to tell us within 14 days so we can assess it. Otherwise you may be overpaid and have to pay the money back. Even if the money is exempt from the income test, you have to tell us of any change to your assets.
The Australian Taxation Office may assess your lump sum payment. If they decide it's taxable, this may affect your adjusted taxable income for family assistance payments.
Lump sums exempt from the income test
Some lump sums are exempt from the income test. These lump sums are unlikely to be repeated, can't be reasonably predicted, and isn't money paid to you for a service or profit.
Examples of exempt lump sums:
- a one-time gift
- an inheritance
- an irregular superannuation amount, such as commutation of a superannuation pension
- compensation and insurance payouts for damages to property or personal effects
- the value of emergency relief such as financial assistance for floods, bushfires and droughts
- certain redress payments, for example, historical negligence
- a prize, reward or lottery win not made in regular instalments
- single or occasional gambling wins if you don't rely on it for a living
- a compensation payment you get from an Australian trust
Using your exempt lump sum
What you do with exempt lump sums may affect your payment under the income or asset test.
Any amount you spend on an exempt asset such as your home, mortgage, or medical equipment, won't change the value of your assets we assess.
If you buy non-financial assets, such as artwork or a holiday home, we assess your purchase as an asset and this may affect your rate of payment.
If you use the lump sum to increase your financial assets, for example, you put it in the bank, loan it, or use it to buy securities or investments, it's assessed as a financial asset. A notional rate of income is deemed. If you deposit the lump sum with your superannuation fund, it won't be assessed as an asset if you're under age pension age and haven't started drawing on the fund.
Gifting your lump sum may affect your payment. It's your right to give away part or all of your lump sum. However, gifts of more than $10,000 per year or $30,000 in a 5 year period are included in your deemed financial assets. If you put the funds into a trust, we assess whether the income and assets are still yours or you've gifted them.
Read more about gifting.
Lump sums included in the income test
The assessment of lump sum amounts included in the income test depends if it's remunerative or non-remunerative.
Examples of remunerative lump sums:
- a commission payment
- a bonus
- director's fees
- leave paid out while you're still employed
- a payment to a professional sports person such as a signing on fee, sponsorship or endorsement payment
- loan arrangements where there's no expectation the loan will be repaid, in lieu of services performed
If remunerative lump sums are paid regularly, we assess them over the same frequency. For example, we assess a monthly commission over the following month.
One off or irregular income is apportioned for the same period of time it was earned over, if this is known. For example, a 6 week job where the commission can only be calculated and paid afterwards, is apportioned over the 6 weeks after it's received.
Otherwise, remunerative lump sums are apportioned over 52 weeks.
Examples of non-remunerative lump sums:
- a distribution from a family trust
- a royalty payment
- a grant or scholarship
- a lottery win paid as a series of payments under a single contract, for example, win $10,000 a year for life
- a dividend from a private company
- a distribution from a private trust
Non-remunerative lumps sums are apportioned as income from the date received for 52 weeks.

With the signing of Peca as well as youngsters Wellwood, Bell, Colaiacovo, and Jay Harrison over the past couple of days it seems most of the Leafs off season moves are now complete. There may be some tweaking here and there but for the most part I think what you see is what you get. So, where does that put the Leafs? In the playoffs I think.
Last season the Leafs had two significant problems. They gave up too many goals (10th worst in the NHL) and though they finished 9th overall in goals scored, they struggled to score goals at even strength. This summer they clearly focused on the first of those problems but I think that despite not adding a big name goal scorer they may have helped the second problem as well.
Last year Ed Belfour and Mikael Tellqvist struggled for consistancy and that was a huge part of the Leafs demise. When Aubin came in and played quality goaltending towards the end of last season the Leafs were nearly unbeatable – Aubin had a 9-0-2 record.
The first significant move was made to shore up the goaltending by adding former rookie of the year Andrew Raycroft. Last season Andrew Raycroft had a horrible season but he was downright awesome in his rookie season. Which Raycroft shows up will go a long way to determining how much success the Leafs have this season but I am optimistic. I think with the year off a lot of players struggled to get back in the groove and for Raycroft that was compounded by injury problems. A tandem of Raycroft and Aubin could be a huge boost for the Leafs.
The next moves the Leafs made was to shore up the defense. Gone are Klee, Berg, Khavanov and others and in are Pavel Kubina and Hal Gill. Kubina plays a solid all-round game and would be a #2 defenseman (or better) on most other teams and Hal Gill is a solid defensive defenseman. Rounding out the top six will likely be Carlo Colaiacovo who is ready for a break out season and Ian White who played great last summer. Other options include Jay Harrison, Brendan Bell, Staffan Kronwall and Andy Wozniewski.
The problem last year on defense is that while Berg, Khavanov, Klee, etc. are serviceable defensemen they are not 20 minitutes per game type of defensemen and that required McCabe and Kaberle to get over worked. Kubina and Gill are 20 minute per game defensemen (or more in Kubina's case) and that should help out both McCabe and Kaberle as they can play 25 minutes per game instead of 28-30. With Kubina and White both being more than capable of anchoring the PP and Kubina and Gill both being more than capable of killing penalties the McCabe-Kaberle duo can spend less time doing that (both played >40% of their time either on PP or on PK) and more time playing even strength hockey. This should be a boost to the Leafs even strength offense. Kubina, Colaiacovo and White should also all produce more offense from the defense than last years crew.
Up front the only significant addition was Mike Peca while the Leafs lost Lindros and likely won't re-sign Jason Allison. Between them they only played 99 games so really it is more like they lost just one player and a bit. But between them they lost a fair amount of offense, particularly on the PP where Allison was extremely valuable. It will be up to young Kyle Wellwood to jump into the role of second line center, improve on his good rookie season and mitigate many of the losses of Allison and Lindros. Peca meanwhile will have the role of shutting down the oppositions top player as well as being a top penalty kill guy and this is something the Leafs never really had last year. Kilger, Wilm and others do a good job at that but Peca should be that much better.
So, as it stands now, this is the likely lineup for this upcoming season.
Darcy Tucker-Mats Sundin-Alex Steen
Alexei Ponikarovsky-Kyle Wellwood-Jeff O'Neill
Chad Kilger-Mike Peca-Nik Antropov
Stajan still needs to be signed and Ondrus and Pohl will compete with Erik Westrum, Jeremy Williams, Aleksander Suglobov and Bates Battaglia for the fourth line roles. Belak will likely play the versatile role of rugged winger and 7th defenseman as required.
The two keys to success in my mind are:
1. Can Raycroft and/or Aubin provide top tier and more importantly consistant goaltending.
2. Can Wellwood step up his game into a true second line center in order to offset some of the offense lost in Allison and Lindros. A 65-70 point season would be nice.
If those two things happen and the rest of the team remains relatively injury free I think this is easily a playoff team and one that could possibly do something in the playoffs.
(Note: It would not surprise me if JFJ is looking to move some of those young defensemen for another young scoring forward. A package of one or two of those defenseman with Stajan and/or Antropov might net a nice young skilled forward in return.)

Gunzilla, caliber specific patches, nylon or coated pistol rod, nylon brush, bronze brush, 100% cotton rag, and q-tips. For the revolver, add a Bore Snake or an OTIS cleaning kit to pull through the bore.
This is a discussion on Need Cleaning Supplies Checklist within the Related Gear & Equipment forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Not sure if in the right section here...just wondering what I need to get to keep a 9 mm sa and a revolver clean? checklist ...
Not sure if in the right section here...just wondering what I need to get to keep a 9 mm sa and a revolver clean? checklist anyone? thank you
Gunzilla, caliber specific patches, nylon or coated pistol rod, nylon brush, bronze brush, 100% cotton rag, and q-tips. For the revolver, add a Bore Snake or an OTIS cleaning kit to pull through the bore.
I agree with Ram Rod. I would specifically emphasize Gunzilla and the Otis cleaning kit. I recently switched to Gunzilla after using Hoppes for over a decade. Gunzilla doesn't have the powerful smell and does a better job cleaning.
If you think Hoppes No. 9 has a powerful smell, you had best never try running up a batch of Ed's Red!
The aroma of Hoppes No. 9 is as much a part of my shooting experience as is the smell of freshly-fired shotgun hulls... I use a lot of other products these days, but I'll always have some on hand.

You don't need to get too fancy. Gunzilla, cotton rags, caliber specific bore snake,Q tips and an old tooth brush will do the trick.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!
-Tony Soprano
I use pointed cleaning jags instead of brushes/mops/slotted jags. A military style AP brush (large + small brush heads) will do wonders in a wide variety of nooks, crannies, and other parts.
Eezox and cotton rags.
"The Second Amendment: America's Original Homeland Security"
Weapon Shield, bore snake, nylon & bronze brushes, q-tips, blue shop towels.
Cotton swabs with WOODEN sticks if you can still find any.
Anybody notice how the newer "Q-Tips" just bend right in half with very slight pressure?
They really cheapened them up....either that - or they made them more "ear safe"
Mid Way USA has 6" cotton swabs 100 to a bag part number MIL1036
Gun specific tools would be good in your cleaning kit, Allen wrenches (grip screws, mag release on 1911's and others), screw driver, picks for cleaning inside nooks and crannies, tweezers, don't forget a medium size towel to lay every thing out on if disassembly is needed, also pipe cleaners if needed.
As stated by others get a box, then start filling it with what you use as you discover you need it. I prefer not to share tools with my cleaning/service kit, If I borrow it from the garage then I buy it to keep in the kit, scissors for instance - (some one mentioned cutting up old t-shirst).

....and check WalMart for supplies as well. Seems like they do that right.
I use CLP "Break Free" with an old cotton t-shirt, toothbrush, cotton swabs.
Glock 36 / Crimson Trace LG-436
Ruger LCP / Crimson Trace LG-431
There are plenty of preconfigured kit to choose from, but it's easy enough to build one your self pretty cheap.
-Rags (Old t-shirts work well. Something thin, absorbant and sturdy that won't shed fibers on the gun. Dish towel/bathing type rags are too thick, IMO, and tend to shed more.)
-Cotton swabs
-Pipe cleaners (Not a necessity, but I use them allot.)
-Brush (tooth brush will work, but one made for firearms will usually be stiffer and work better.)
-Caliber specific boresnakes (I haven't used a rod or patches since I started using these. They meet the same need, only more efficiently.)
-Cleaner, lubricant, protectant (Type is really up to personal preference. I personally like a separate cleaner and oil vs. the all in ones. This is where you should spend money on a good one.)
-Dental pick (Not a necessity. Don't use unless you know what you're doing as it can do more harm than good if used wrong.)

1. Re: Overriding inherited annotations843793 Sep 20, 2010 10:32 AM (in response to 843793)I don't thik you can achieve that on fields (though you should confirm with someone more knowledgeable) because fields cannot be overriden. A sensible workaround would be to annotate field getters rather than the fields themselves: when you override a method, you have the opportunity override its annotations. Another side advantage is that you annotate public things so they will be visible in the javadoc for instance.
Btw, if you rename your annotation method from "rank" to "value", you're allowed to omit the method name:
// annotation definition: @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) @Target({ElementType.METHOD}) public @interface ParameterPriority { int value(); } //class A public class A { private String name; private int age; @ParameterPriority(5) public String getName() { return name; } @ParameterPriority(10) public int getAge() { return age; } } public class B extends A { @Override @ParameterPriority(2) public int getAge() { return super.getAge(); } } // instanceOfA.getMethod("getAge").getAnnotation(ParameterPriority.class).value() == 10 // instanceOfC.getMethod("getAge").getAnnotation(ParameterPriority.class).value() == 2
2. Re: Overriding inherited annotations843793 Sep 21, 2010 6:35 AM (in response to 843793)Thank you very much, you suggestion is great!
3. Re: Overriding inherited annotations843793 Sep 21, 2010 7:33 AM (in response to 843793)Note that method annotations are not inherited. This means that if you override a method in a subclass, the new method doesn't have any annotations. Because of this there is no such thing as "overriding" method annotations. What you can do, is to re-annotate the method again (which may seem like "overriding" annotations, but is actually re-adding )
4. Re: Overriding inherited annotations843793 Sep 21, 2010 8:04 AM (in response to 843793)Thanks for the clarification!
In my case, I think re-annotating works for me, but it's good to not the annotation is not inherited, it's sure gives me something to think about :)

Last updated 22 August 2016. Created on 5 December 2007.
Edited by rhuffstedtler, jm9, LeeHunter, JirkaRybka. Log in to edit this page.
The MySQL version 4.1 introduced some changes to character set handling, which are often giving us trouble if moving a Drupal site from one to the other (i.e. from 4.0 or below, to 4.1 or above). Basically, Drupal always uses utf-8 encoding, but MySQL 4.0 and lower doesn't support it, so utf-8 data are treated as default Latin 1 inside the MySQL 4.0 engine. It doesn't matter there, as MySQL output echoes the same data as sent in still, so Drupal works fine, but it matters a lot in the migration process, where MySQL might attempt to "convert" the data from Latin 1 to utf-8, not knowing that we have utf-8 in there already, and so the site gets broken then.
There are a few typical symptoms, and typical scenarios, (all discussed later in more detail):
- "Garbled text": Any special characters (non-english, advanced punctuation and the like) in your site's contents turned into seemingly random pairs of weird characters after moving the site to 4.1. (Typically, "ÅÃÄ" are frequently seen, always followed by some other non-english character).
- "Question marks": Your contents is more or less fine, but some special characters (non-english, advanced punctuation and the like) are replaced by question-marks after the move to 4.1.
- "Illegal mix of collations": Your site worked after the move to 4.1 somehow, but later crashed badly (typically after running update.php on the next upgrade, installing a new module, or the like). Missing sidebars, virtually any part of the pages vanished, no way to access even administrative pages - all that is possible. Looking into the logs (manually in the 'watchdog' table in worst case), you'll see error messages "Illegal mix of collations".
IMPORTANT: All these symptoms mean, that your database is NOT healthy after the move. Don't try to run your site in such a state: Any new data stored to the database are only making things worse! You need to fix your database during the migration process, or immediately after, before going live again! Keep backups! If you did a wrong step, you'll most probably need to restore your database from backup, and try again; it's usually easier and more safe, than fixing broken data afterwards. If you don't have any backup, create one now!
Note that basic English characters are the same across all encodings, so your English contents (as well as Drupal's internal data) is not affected, and you might not even notice that there's a problem, if running English site. But still, some things may be broken.
If you (or your hosting provider) just upgraded MySQL to 4.1+, without really moving the data to another machine or another database, you've correct utf-8 data already in your database, but most probably you've wrong encoding information (for details, see (B) in the table below). You see the "Garbled text" problem, and your tables are "latin1_swedish_ci" in the database.
You have two options:
A. Alter encoding/collation directly in database. This must be done in a tricky way (changing columns to binary types and back), to avoid real conversion of stored data. The operation, however simple for the server, is not so easy to do manually, so a specialized helper-script was developed for this purpose.
Just grab the file mysqlfix.php from the sandbox, put it into your Drupal root directory (the one where update.php is), and point your browser there (i.e. something like http://www.example.com/mysqlfix.php). Then just follow on-screen instructions. The script will offer you a way to choose tables (both Drupal and/or other tables in your database), and process them (including large databases in batch processing). It's compatible with Drupal versions 4.7.x, 5.x and 6.x, supports prefixed tables, and uses the same access checks as update.php does. Note that if you're not logged in as user 1 yet, it might be safer to edit the access check flag in file, rather than attempting to browse the broken site to log in (any data written to the broken database is a risky business).
Although this script is not really dangerous (theoretically it doesn't hurt to process a table twice), you should always take the common safety precautions while doing this sort of work:
- Before starting, always create a backup copy of your database (even if you're backing up a broken site)
- Give appropriate attention to security: If accessing the script with access check disabled setting, restore the original setting immediately after use.
- Remove any single-use helper scripts (like this one) from your server, if no more needed.
- Use on your own risk.
B. Export and re-import. This option is more complicated and resources-expensive for the server, and depends on your permissions on the system, but still it's an alternative solution (especially if you can't run the helper script above for some reason, and/or you're really familiar with command line). It's basically the same process, as migration between two different servers:
First, export your database (from the newly upgraded 4.1 server) in backwards-compatible mode:
mysqldump --user=username --password=password --default-character-set=latin1 --compatible=mysql40 dbname > dump.sql
Then, empty your database, by removing all the tables, and change it's default encoding/collation to "utf8_general_ci":
mysql --user=username --password=password --execute="DROP TABLE table_name, table_name...... ; ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;" Since specifying all the tables may be annoying, better create a brand new database instead (if you've permissions):
mysql --user=username --password=password --execute="DROP DATABASE dbname; CREATE DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;" Both these ways should result in an empty database with default encoding/collation "utf8_general_ci".
Finally, import the file back into the database:
mysql --user=username --password=password --default-character-set=utf8 dbname < dump.sql
Now, your database should be perfectly OK, "utf8_general_ci" set on all tables, and Drupal working fine. You're done.
If you're migrating to a different server (which may as well be localhost for testing, or the like), you need to export the data from the old 4.0 database, and import to 4.1 along with correct utf-8 encoding information, so that the database engine understand the data correctly and doesn't do some unwanted "conversion". This is important; if you imported your file in a wrong way, your data got broken, and you'll probably need to try again from scratch, rather than fixing the broken data (which is always a bit unsafe).
On the old 4.0 server, export your database:
mysqldump --user=username --password=password --default-character-set=latin1 dbname > dump.sql
On the new 4.1 server, create the new database with "utf8_general_ci":
mysql --user=username --password=password --execute="CREATE DATABASE dbname CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;"
OR alternatively alter your existing database:
mysql --user=username --password=password --execute="ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;"
If the 4.1 database already was "utf8_general_ci", you may proceed happily to the next step; you needn't to do any of these two options then. If the default was utf8, but some other national collation, and you haven't permissions to alter the database settings, you may proceed too, and alter all the imported tables and columns afterwards manually, to be "utf8_general_ci". But if you've the database default encoding other than utf8 (and no permissions to alter), your best chance is probably to try and hack your dump.sql file, adding
/*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 */ at the end of every single
CREATE TABLE statement, just before the final semicolon (tedious work with an utf-8 compatible text editor). If the database is latin1, you may also import with
--default-character-set=latin1, and then proceed to the 1.A scenario above, to fix the rest.
Import the file to your new utf8 database:
mysql --user=username --password=password --default-character-set=utf8 dbname < dump.sql
Now, your database should be perfectly OK, "utf8_general_ci" set on all tables, and Drupal working fine. You're done.
NOTE ADDED JAN 2010: In some situations, you might encounter MySQL ERROR 1062 "Duplicate entry ... for key ..." This happens when two or more key values are considered duplicates when they are evaluated by the new version of MySQL using "utf8_general_ci" (for example "András" and "Andras"). In MySQL 4.0 these values were not considered duplicates. Likely places where this might occur include the "search_total" and "users" tables. Find and eliminate the duplicates, and then reimport the database as described above. If the duplicates are in "search_total", you may need to figure out how to truncate your search tables and reindex the site on the newer version of MySQL.
This is probably rare - it might only happen, if you're moving the site to a local server for testing, having the local server not upgraded yet. It's rather simple: Export in backwards-compatible mode, then import to 4.0:
From 4.1:
mysqldump --user=username --password=password --default-character-set=utf8 --compatible=mysql40 dbname > dump.sql
To 4.0:
mysql --user=username --password=password dbname < dump.sql
MySQL keeps track of your data's nature by using an encoding/collation information on various places. While collation (the part with various nation-names in it) is only affecting some operations like sorting and comparing, and so may be changed safely, encoding (utf8 or latin1) is addressing the nature of your data, and so needs to be always correct:
- Table columns: The encoding here describes your data directly. This is the most important bit for your database health; any change done to single columns is likely to perform a real conversion of the data, so better don't try to alter encoding here. (The script in scenario 1.A above is a way to change encoding without really changing data.)
- Tables: The info on tables is used as a default for any new columns created inside the table. You may change this to utf8 with queries like
ALTER TABLE table_name CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;.
- Database: The info on database is used as a default for any new tables created inside the database. This is important for imports from 4.0 dumps, as these contain no information about tables encoding/collation. You may change the database defaults to utf8 with the query
ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;, if you have permissions for that.
- Connection: This is the encoding of data coming in/out of MySQL engine, i.e. data processed by Drupal and shown on your screen. It's specified through the
--default-character-set=utf8 switch for each new connection (or with
SET NAMES utf8 query, as seen in Drupal itself, as well as *some* MySQL 4.1 dumps). Default is latin1, which we don't want.
If the connection is different from the table column's encoding, MySQL performs a conversion, attempting to present more or less correct data. Being that the case, you may encounter the "Garbled" or "Question marks" problems, either on data read from OR stored to the database, or at the very least a bit worse performance. This is where all the damage happens on migration.
Generally, whichever way you choose to manipulate your data, you need all these four settings to be "utf8" and "utf8_general_ci", or at the very least you need to have all table columns as "utf8_general_ci".
Having table columns on latin1 means conversion (bad performance, and question-marks problem), and having table columns different from each other means "Illegal mix of collations" (MySQL can't perform certain operations (joins) between different collations).
When Drupal adds a new table to the database (for example during update.php run, or new module installation), "utf8_general_ci" is always enforced, so you needn't to worry about the defaults of your database. But however, some other outside-of-Drupal tools/situations - especially imports needed for migrations and backup-restoring, or manually performed queries - may fail to enforce that, resulting in the database defaults being used for new tables. That's why we want to have the database default set to "utf8_general_ci" - or else double check all newly created/imported tables, and change them to "utf8_general_ci" immediately.
Sometimes it happens, that you can't use the shown command-line examples, because you're on a different system, you've not enough permissions, or you have no access to the command line at all. If your hosting provider don't let you in, you may install some of existing web-based applications, such as for example the popular PhpMyAdmin, or for large databases some other ones, like MySQL Dumper, which is able to handle large data avoiding php timeout problems. You may then execute your operations using these applications - sometimes it's even more comfortable.
Make sure that such applications are always protected from unauthorized access! If there's no other option (MySQL Dumper), consider at least basic HTTP authentication.
This page can't describe all the options of all applications in detail - please refer to corresponding manuals for that. As for the examples provided here - for dumping/importing data, you need to use the corresponding functionality provided, while other queries may be usually run directly:
For example, from this command:
mysql --user=username --password=password --execute="ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;"
You need to take the actual query:
ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
And just paste it to the "SQL" input of PhpMyAdmin (or similar).
There's one important bit, though: The connection encoding. To emulate the
--default-character-set=utf8 switch, it's necessary to execute
SET NAMES utf8 query on every page load. Some applications do this, some not. PhpMyAdmin lets you choose the connection, while MySQL Dumper (speaking of version 1.21-b6) needs to be hacked a bit to import your MySQL 4.0 dump well: Add a line
$res=MSD_query('SET NAMES utf8'); just above final
return; of function MSD_mysql_connect() in the file
Depending on how the migration was done (attempted), you may find yourself in four different states:
|Import done with the switch | Import done without |
|--default-character-set=utf8|encoding specification,|
| or SET NAMES utf8 query | or with latin1 |
| |File from| | |
| |MySQL 4.0| | (B) |
| |(encoding| (A) | (Also happens after |
| |info not | | MySQL upgrade without |
|Database|included)| | really moving data) |
|default +---------+----------------------------+-----------------------+
| latin1 |File from| | |
| |MySQL 4.1| | |
| |(with | (C) | (D) |
| | encoding| (You want to fix database |(You want to fix datab.|
| | info) | default collation too ) | default collation too)|
|Database|No matter| | |
|default | which | (C) | (D) |
| utf8 | file | | |
(A) - You have "latin1_swedish_ci" on your tables and columns, your contents looks more or less correct, but some special characters are replaced by question-marks. Currently, your data are stored in Latin 1 encoding, which can't handle all the characters, and requires MySQL to perform a conversion on each query.
It's probably best to use your backup now, and start the migration over again.
If you have no backup to revert to, you may try to execute the following query for each of your Drupal tables:
ALTER TABLE table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
This will convert your data and tables back to correct utf-8 state (including any data submitted to the site in the broken state, even), but however, the question-marks in your contents will stay. This is caused by latin1 being incapable to store full range of utf-8 characters, so the damage is permanent, and this way should not be considered safe.
You still want to correct the database defaults, to avoid running into the "Illegal mix of collations" error later (see paragraph 4.):
ALTER DATABASE db_name DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci
(B) - You have "latin1_swedish_ci" on your tables and columns, and your contents looks "Garbled". But still, your data are stored as correct utf-8 and no damage done yet! You have only just wrong encoding information in your database (causing MySQL to break your data on the way out).
The fix is not as simple as executing a query or two. Please read the scenario 1. above for details, or revert to a backup if this is a result of unsuccessfull import just done. The fix is safe, however, unless some new data got submitted in garbled state.
It's also a good idea to fix the database defaults (see above).
(C) - Congratulations! You have "utf8_general_ci" on your tables and columns, correct data inside, and Drupal working well. Unless you need to correct the database defaults, you're done already, and completely safe.
(D) - You have "utf8_general_ci" on your tables and columns, but your contents is "Garbled". Unfortunately, that's really how your data are stored in this case (after double utf-8 encoding, all two-byte characters turned into four bytes, and so into pairs of weird characters, one per original byte).
It's probably best to use your backup now, and start the migration over again.
If you have no backup to revert to, you may try to convert your data back with the following query for each of your Drupal tables:
ALTER TABLE table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;
If everything went well, this took you back to the (B) state, which is still wrong, but allows you to proceed to an other fix at least. Now you may perform the steps described in scenario 1. above, to fix the remaining problem. But since your data undergone double conversion, this way should not be considered safe.
Depending on the circumstances, you might still need to correct the database defaults.

One of the biggest obstacles people face when trying to build their residual income business to produce home based income is building that distribution network.
It can sound like a daunting task until you realize again the genius of the home based income business structure: there are no employees or employers – or brokers and agents as in the previous home based income article example. Everyone is equal – both an agent and a broker at the same time, so-to-speak. They can be the leader of their own team while at the same time contributing to someone else's team. This means that everyone who gets involved got involved for the equal opportunity to be able to afford THEIR lifestyle and reach THEIR dreams and goals as it's a volunteer army. They can build THEIR OWN distribution network and in doing so, if that person is also a part of your distribution network, THEIR distribution network is also now a part of your now LARGER distribution network. Compensation structures vary from company to company, but in essense, you are able to receive compensation from the distribution network of your distribution network – are you following me? Your network can just continue to grow exponentially from network to network – and that's how the residuals really start to add up.
Targeting the Right Prospects For A Residual Income Business
So you're simply looking for others with similar goals and dreams like you have – people who want more out of life and are willing to work in their spare time or around their schedule to create more for themselves and their family, which they can do with home based income. And unfortunately, not everyone wants that, as silly as that may seem. In fact, that segment of the population you're looking for is only a small percentage (but even 1% of 6 billion people is still 60 million people – you just need a few who have a few who have a few), so you must specifically target your ideal audience, ie, those looking to create income from home to better their lives. Of course there's always exceptions but obviously you'll be received better from people who actually want what you have to offer (and to reiterate that's NOT your product, your residual income business opportunity is what you're offering if you're focus is on building a 6-figure or so home based income; the product is a side-benefit of the business).
In THE Authoritative Home Based Business Training for 2010 report, I reveal 3 of the fastest, most productive, most lucrative methods for building your distribution network or organization. You'll have to download the FREE training to learn all three of them, but I will reveal one of them here (but you'll have to read the training to learn my technique to best apply it for maximum results).
Follow this logic: if you're looking for people who want to earn income from home with a residual income business, AND if the bigger your team grows the more leverage you'll have and the more home based income you'll be able to make, THEN you need to get your residual income business in front of as many people who are looking to make home based income to be able to maximize your earnings. Does that make sense?
Well, luckily, with the advent of the internet, people are searching online all the time about how to create home based income. There are companies out there who will find these people for you and sell you their information in the form of business opportunity leads or home based business leads. Now there are numerous companies out there selling these leads of all different types and you can spend as much as $10 or more per lead with some of these companies.
The Prospecting Skills Needed For A Residual Income Business
But one of the most important factors to your success in growing your team using purchased leads is the technique you use when you call. It is an art as much as it is a science. But rather than trying to explain to you what to do or what to say here in this article, I want to turn you onto some powerful FREE audio trainings that you can download and listen to for FREE. These audios are so powerful in fact that, as you'll learn, a destitute and homeless woman in Hawaii, living out of her car with $2.03 to her name was able to turn her life around and earn her first million dollars just two years later.
