It's official — Tottenham have become a top club.
Arsenal always fall two goals behind to a top club and now the problem, usually confined to encounters with the Manchester duo, is stalking them closer to home.
They really do need to prepare better and think more about how to counteract the opposition — yesterday's defending suggested they had never heard of Gareth Bale. Even Barcelona sometimes pay for attending only to themselves.

Hello everyone,
There is a closed thread re: this (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?68081-Random-Number-in-hidden-form-field) - it's exactly what I need to do, however when I try it it's not working for me, so I was wondering if anyone could help me revisit this topic. I need to have a confirmation number appear on a page after a user submits a form, and I need to have that same confirmation number appear in the form results without the user having to enter it, so I attempted to do this via a hidden form field.
I am able to get the confirmation number to appear on the page using the following script in the head of the document:

It's used in conjunction with this piece of code, which does display the number on the page: Confirmation Number = .
The problem is that the hidden field in the form is not displaying in the emailed form results. I'm not getting any form submission errors, and all the other fields are displaying correctly. It simply does not appear. Here is the code that I'm using for the hidden field: <input type="hidden" name="Confirmation:" onSubmit="this.value=randomNum">
If anyone could tell me what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it. This same code worked well for the person who started the previous thread, so I'm sure that I'm just missing something, but I've been looking at it too long now and would very much appreciate your help.
Thanks! FAFS
That code would be better written as a function but never mind.
The onsubmit handler needs to be in the <form> tag:
<form ........... onsubmit="this.Confirmation.value=randomNum">
Let's update the code so that it's more robust and reliable.

Order Number =

<form id="order">

<input type="hidden" name="orderid">

(function () {
function generateRandomOrderNumber() {
var random1 = Math.round(Math.random()*9),
random2 = Math.round(Math.random()*9),
time = new Date().getTime();
return '' + random1 + random2 + time;
var orderNumber = generateRandomOrderNumber(),
displayedOrderNumber = document.getElementById('ordernumber'),
orderForm = document.getElementById('order');
displayedOrderNumber.innerHTML = orderNumber;
orderForm.elements.orderid.value = orderNumber;
Thanks so much Paul and Logic Ali - I will give it a try!

As far as Week 1 Tom Brady injuries go, a bloody nose is hardly anything to worry about. It's better than the season-ending knee injury he suffered in 2008, right?
Still, seeing the Golden Boy bloodied on he sideline early in the New England Patriots' game against the Tennessee Titans had to be a disconcerting sight for Pats fans, however momentarily.
Brady didn't miss a play. He was attended to on the sideline and returned with a bandage on his nose, looking handsome as ever -- maybe even handsomer. Short of holding a goat, Tom Brady has never looked so rugged.
He was 10-13 for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, bloody schnoz and all.

Causes and Treatment of Dog Dandruff is a condition that humans get on the skin of their head and the same can happen to the skin of the dogs. Due to the fact that this condition appears as a result of dead skin cells that deposit on the scalp it can often be present especially if the bathing of the hair is not performed for several days. Dogs that are not that often bathed can suffer by the same condition of their skin, this being one the causes to determine their fur to gather dog dandruff. To see to it that this condition disappears, regular bathing and daily brushing can be considered treatment for dogs dandruff. Next to these using a shampoo that delivers both moisturizing and conditioner may also be of a great help especially if you have mites.
Compared to the various causes that form the human's dandruff, the dog's dandruff is merely caused due to carelessness in having your dog bathed and brushed. Other dandruff treatment has been suggested by some dog's owners who claim that rubbing once a week a small quantity of vegetable oil or olive oil on the skin of the dog might work wonders. This is explained through the fact that the dog's skin is kept moisturized and as such makes the dandruff easier to be removed while brushing the fur.
Another cause of dogs dandruff is the fact that your dog might not get the necessary amount of fluids and at the same time his living environment is dry presenting not enough humidity. This is why it is very important to ensure yourself that your dog is properly hydrated offering a weekly dandruff treatment and mites remedy, with keeping its skin moisturized with various skin oils.
Dogs can as well suffer from dog dandruff condition whenever it seems to have fleas. The moment your dog tries to reach for the flea, permanently scratching its skin, the area is more likely to be pulled and as such flakes come off. In this respect you have to consider an appropriate dog dandruff treatment the releasing it from the great discomfort of having mites and fleas. Most of the times these fleas locate at the tail or right above the tail, and it is a good thing to spray this area with anti-fleas spray and with a firm brush to release your dog from both the dog dandruff problem and the fleas problem as well.
One of the catchy dog dandruff is said to be the one generated by the infestation of mites. There is one mite called Cheyletiella which once it reaches to infest the dog skin produces scales that are further ironically called "walking-dandruff". It is a catchy type of dog dandruff therefore is very important for you to get your dog to a pet specialist who can recommend a quick treatment for your dog dandruff which due to a topical medication and get your dog out of this uncomfortable condition.

Wittenberg Choir Selected To Perform At 2012 Ohio Music Education Association Conference
August 22, 2011
Filed in Arts Scene, Community
Springfield, Ohio – The Wittenberg Choir has been selected from a blind audition to perform at the 2012 Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) Professional Development Conference at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, in the Hyatt Union Ballroom in Columbus, Ohio.
The 2012 Professional Development Conference is scheduled for Feb. 16-18 in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Expected to attract more than 9,000 music educators from around the state, the convention is annually one of the largest state music education conferences in the United States.
UPDATE: The Wittenberg Choir will give a special campus performance at 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, in Weaver Chapel. Admission is free, and the concert is open to the public.
"It is truly an honor to be selected to sing for so many respected choral educators," said Wittenberg Choir Director Adam Jonathan Con, associate professor of music and director of choral activities and coordinator of music education. "This is a significant accomplishment, given that the choir and I have only been together for one year.
"We appreciate all the support we've been given by Wittenberg alumni, administration and the Springfield community. This is a great opportunity for the Wittenberg Choir to show the Tiger spirit to the rest of the state."
The concert at the OMEA conference is open to the public, and admission is free.
The Wittenberg Choir is comprised of men and women hailing from a wide range of academic backgrounds. Con is just the fifth director in the long history of the Wittenberg Choir, and he also serves as conductor of the Wittenberg Singers, a 25-member, all-female group that includes students, alumni, faculty and even Springfield community members.
Under Con's direction, the choir has performed at area churches, including Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist and United Church of Christ congregations. He asks that choir members familiarize themselves with the traditions of each individual congregation and plans programs suited to each, performing to that tradition wherever they go. In addition, Con organized a unique 2011 Spring tour that included more than 20 performances across the state in less than a week.
In May 2012, Con plans to take the Wittenberg Choir to Wittenberg, Germany, to be part of the 500th anniversary celebrations of Martin Luther's posting of his 95 theses. Some of the tour highlights include performing at the Berlin Cathedral, the Wittenberg Castle, Lutherstadt, Bach's church, Thomaskirche, in Leipzig, and a joint symphony concert singing Mendelssohn's symphony "Lobgesang."
In addition to his work in the classroom and as choral director, Con serves as a writer for Revised Ohio State Standards for Music Education at the Ohio Department of Education, and he is the Repertoire and Standards Chair for Multicultural Music for the Ohio State American Choral Directors Association. A graduate of Florida State University and the University of British Columbia in his hometown of Vancouver, Canada, Con serves as chairman for the Ohio Music Education Association District 12 Choral Honour Choir Festival, which will take place at Wittenberg in November.

obsolete form of canister.
I waited, watching carefully, until Mannion reported the cannister inside.
Stop one moment, Swinburne; put another dose of cannister in.
All the time the machine guns rattled like shaking pebbles in a cannister, the rifles popped and the shells exploded resonantly.
We will hurl grape and cannister into the camps of the saloonatics until they flee the wrath to come.
We could hear the swish of cannister in our rear, but on we went.
When we pressed them too close the artillerymen would give our men grape and cannister, and then yield to the infantry.
The pikemen pressed on against the storm of grape and cannister and bullets.
He took down the cannister of diamonds which were worth five millions or more back on Earth.
But his eyes were on the cannister whose contents should weigh a hundred pounds on Earth.
If it had not been for his vacuum suit and the cannister he carried, Pop would have rubbed his hands.

Treatment never equal
In response to the letter "Islam & women" by Adnan Ahmed, imam of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Pittsburgh Chapter: The Quran, the Hadith and the Sunna teach us what Islam and women are really all about.
A Muslim man can marry four wives, and Muslim women can have only one husband. The Hadith: Two women are equal to one man in a Muslim legal court. The Quran 4:34: "As for women whom you fear will rebel, admonish them first, and then send them to a separate bed, and then beat them." Of Muhammad's nine wives, he married a 6-year-old girl and consummated the marriage when she was 9. Quran 4:11: "Concerning your children: A male should receive equal to that of two females." Muhammad held women slaves as concubines.
Muslim women have never been treated with equality in Islam, and non-Muslim women were treated even worse.
The Rev. Bruce R. Leonatti
The writer is pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in North Huntingdon and president of the Pittsburgh Chapter of Act for America.

English Composition I
Home Page >> Writing Assignments >> Classification
Simply put, a writer needs to use classification whenever they have a large group of similar items that need to be sorted and/or analyzed. Think of the task as having a database full of items or information, and now you have to figure out what it all adds up to and means. Anytime somebody analyzes the stock market trends or poll numbers or summarizes an accounting ledger, they are doing a form of classification. Anybody who takes their cassettes, albums or CDs and organizes them according to some principle that makes sense to them is classifying/dividing.
Students deal with things that are categorized all the time: after all, the very notion of taking a body of knowledge and dividing certain ideas or information into different classes or majors is classification. Use this knowledge to your advantage. Explain to the students coming after you how some aspect of school is organized so that they can make sense of it. Some examples might be: types of teachers, study styles, student types, etc. Basically anything that can be broken into categories and explained is a workable subject.
Remember to make this USABLE information for the reader. It doesn't tell us much to describe the different types of math class unless you also add the analysis that helps us see which one we should take instead of another.
Analyze the people at a place of business that you are VERY familiar with. It may be where you work now, or have worked, or simply a business that you spend a lot of time at. You need to be very familiar with the people who work there and use the business as customers. For the essay, divide some group of people according to their characteristics: types of customers, types of supervisors, types of employees, etc.
You need to make absolutely sure with this essay that you are discussing TYPES, not specific individuals. Use specific examples to explain the types and show us how they are different from each other, but don't use specific names or anything that could make people upset.
Again, remember that there needs to be an analysis of the divisions, a purpose. Okay, we have these five types of customers. So what? Be sure to indicate how these divisions help us better understand what these customers want, or why these different types of customers mean that we need more front counter help, or whatever you are arguing. There has to be a purpose.
This is a wild card. Pick any subject that you know a lot about: rap music, cartoons, model railroading, counted cross-stitch, shoes, etc. Use classification to help us see that there is MORE to this subject than the average person understands. Remember to add the analysis so that we understand the importance of these distinctions. If you do this form of the assignment correctly, the reader should leave the essay with a more complete and revised understanding of the complexities of your subject.
For example: Let's suppose that I'm a huge Batman fan. I would write an essay explaining that there have been many different versions of The Batman over the years: The early, violent Batman, the always smiling best friend of Superman, the world's greatest detective, the goofy TV Batman, the brooding obsessed avenger of his parents' deaths, the rubber suit movie Batman, and the most recent urban legend version of the Batman.
Most of you are probably surprised to know that you can even make this many divisions about Batman. However, explaining the difference in the divisions isn't enough. As a writer, I would also have to have a purpose or meaning. Maybe my purpose is to show that Batman is a powerful character because so many styles of story fit the character. Maybe I want to explain that most people don't understand Batman as a powerful character because they only know the TV or movie version. Maybe I want to argue that certain approaches are better than others. Whatever the purpose, the divisions are the starting point, but the extra analysis and explanation are what make it a successful argument and actually show the reader the meaning of what you've set up.
However you approach this essay, remember, remember, remember that the division aspect is only the first part of writing this essay.

Want to know what a live-action take on tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon might look like?
Cable network G4 will perform such a feat in a short film airing on its video game focused show X-Play on May 3 titled Ghost Recon Alpha.
The film, produced by Ubisoft and Little Minx -- a company tied to Ridley Scott & Associates -- follows the elite "Ghosts" as they attempt to eliminate one of the world's most feared war criminals.

Building Your Own Leprechaun Trap - How to Catch a Leprechaun
With the weekend upon us and only a few weeks left until the start of school, I thought I'd post one of our family's favorite ways to recycle old shoe boxes and shipping boxes- building leprechaun traps. No, it doesn't have to be St. Paddy's! Kids have a blast with these year-round. Decorate a box, prop it up on a stick, sprinkle Lucky Charms around it and .... voila! Or check out the other pictures I added if you want to get all fancy schmancy...... This link takes you to About.com's Family Crafts area. It's well worth exploring for inexpensive, creative and fun forms of entertaining the kids as the weeks drift towards fall. Turn off the tv, hide the Playstation and make some really great memories!

Rob Pattinson Opens Up In Vanity Fair
You've seen the breathtaking new pictures from Rob Pattinson's upcoming Vanity Fair photospread, now it's time to hear what he has to say about his crazy, new life and those pesky Robsten rumors.
On his newfound fame:
"I'm trying not to drown. I guess I'm not the type of guy cut out to do a franchise. I'm not much of a crowd person."
On the Kristen Stewart rumors:
"It doesn't make any difference what you say [to the tabloids]. I've literally been across the country [from Kristen], and it's like 'Oh, they were on secret dates!' It's like 'Where? I can't get out of my hotel room!' "
On his admiration for K-Stew:
"I think she's the best young actress around. She's influenced how I've done all the Twilight stuff. It's quite nice to have someone who is genuinely indifferent to the whole spectacle of everything."
On his audition for Twilight:
"I was still in the mode thinking, I've got to make this really, really serious. This is not just a sexy thing…. I was slamming my head against the wall and kind of going nuts." He was sure he had made a complete ass of himself. "I remember calling my parents and saying, 'That's it. I'm not doing this anymore.' And then hearing, 'O.K., fine,' which was not the answer I wanted to hear at all."

AT&T, Placecast Launch Location-Based 'ShopAlerts' Text Deals
AT&T is jumping on the deals bandwagon with a feature dubbed ShopAlerts, which will provide customers with location-based alerts regarding nearby discounts.
AT&T is teaming up with Placecast for ShopAlerts, which will first be available for select group in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco who opt-in to receive the alerts.
Companies signing on for ShopAlerts include HP, Kmart, JetBlue, SC Johnson, Kibbles 'n Bits, Nature's Recipe, and the National Milk Mustache "got milk?" Campaign (nearby milk discounts?)
"We expect to add more brands over the coming months as the program grows," Placecast said in a blog post. "Our partnership combines the Placecast technology platform with the location-based experience we've gained from both our trial and commercial programs with AT&T's customer base, its network, and AT&T's strong relationships with brands and agencies."
AT&T said it will offer rewards and coupons via a "geo-fence," a virtual-perimeter around a retail location, event, or any geographic area. Customers get alerts when they are inside this geo-fence. The texts will also include info like weather, traffic, and local shopping area details.
Customers who want to opt-in can visit att.com/shopalerts or text the word "JOIN" to 28833257. AT&T said there is no charge for ShopAlerts, though text and data rates apply. You can quit by replying to any alert with the words stop, quit, end, cancel, or unsubscribe. AT&T said users will not receive more than four messages per week.
Facebook unveiled unveiled its Deals feature in November. That same month, Yahoo launched Yahoo Local Offers, a local search app available on the Yahoo search results page. Google made a similar announcement, adding local product search results to the desktop with partners like Williams-Sonoma, Office Depot, and Guitar Center.


text: As winner of last weeks great Grenadine/knit tie challenge I present to you this weeks challenge - the soporific tie challenge. Now if you haven't seen the soporific tie porn thread you might be thinking what the bloody hell is this bloke on about.... So in short, I want to see your most boring, but tasteful ties. Rules - 1) Challenge is open to fits from this week only from now until midnight AEST Saturday 28th (that's Aussie time in case you don't know we are ahead of pretty much everyone). 2) Outfits must fit the basic premise of a MC fit i.e shirt, tie, suit/sc, trousers and proper shoes/boots. PS's are optional of course. 3) I will have final say on if your entry includes a soporific tie or not. If I feel it's too loud, patterned or bright then I reserve the right to disqualify your entry. If it's early on in the piece then you may have a second go if you happen to be disqualified, provided it's entered on time. 4) The rest of your fit may be as loud as you want, just not your tie. Otherwise get cracking. As I mentioned on last weeks thread, I've decided to put my money where my mouth is and offer a prize for this weeks winner, which will be any tie of your choice from my range. There is no catch, you don't need to give any "reviews" of it in return or any of that, just enjoy the tie. Hopefully this will bolster participation in the thread. Some examples of ties that fall in to the category are plain grenadines, neat prints in either silk or challis, subdued repp stripes, silk twill you get the idea. Weaves and patterns that won't be allowed are - shantung/raw anything, light coloured pastel anything, printed grenadine (plain or striped woven only), big paisley patterns (especially jacquard ones) etc etc. Any questions, please sing out. Best, Jason

Uranium industry players are closely watching how
"Certainly the whole industry will be watching what happens at Olympic Dam and in terms of what their production rates are going to be," said
"Uranium is not a big market worldwide and it's not in anyone's interest to flood the market, but it's still very early to tell."
Full expansion would take uranium production at the mine, the world's biggest known uranium resource, from about 4000 tonnes a year of uranium oxide to 19,000 tonnes a year. Uranium is a byproduct of copper production at Olympic Dam.
But Mr Atkinson said he didn't expect a flood of product from the mine to hit the market and the outlook was still positive for ERA.
The mine's expansion will still increase supplies to the market to about 30 million pounds of uranium oxide by 2020, up from an expected 6.5 million pounds this year, said UBS commodities analyst Tom Price. That compares with a global market of about 280 million pounds.
"It's basically going to be delivering an extra 7 or 8 per cent and that wipes out any balance that happens in the market if it's in forecast deficit out in 2020," Mr Price said.
"So the uranium supply from the new project would be substantial and bearish for the uranium price."
But others expect BHP to structure the expansion to prioritise copper and delay any increase in uranium by focusing initially on a part of the ore body that is low in uranium grades.
Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Young is assuming no additional uranium output from Olympic Dam until 2025.
Uranium prices, which traded at more than $US70 a pound earlier this year, dropped sharply due to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, sank to less than $US50 last month and have since recovered only modestly.
Mr Price said he expected BHP chief executive
"So it sort of locks in a supply chain and it is isolated from the market to be able to not have a profoundly negative impact," Mr Price said.
But most market forecasts assume increased production from Olympic Dam, said
Still, a go-ahead from BHP for the expansion, expected by the middle of next year, would add to nervousness among other companies looking to start on new, mines particularly given the weak shorter-term outlook for prices, said Gavin Wendt, principal at research consultancy Mine Life.
"BHP bringing on this expansion will be a factor for some in whether they push the button or not," Mr Wendt said. "So that in itself will probably drive away some new production from entering the market, which works in BHP's favour."

Ring-necked parakeets, originally escapees from cages, are now quite common at some places in the Netherlands.
Recently, another escapee parakeet species was recorded in Amsterdam.
In the local Oosterpark, feral Alexandrine parakeets live.
They are bigger than ring-necked parakeets.
The photo is edited to show the birds in the same picture as the Amsterdam city biologist. But it is not fake.
Parakeets have taken over Japan's skies.

text: Durban - Four-goal hero Bernard Parker ensured Kaizer Chiefs bounced back from a heavy defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns seven days ago, by crushing AmaZulu 6-0 in Premiership opener in Durban on Saturday night. "I'd say it was a perfect reaction to last week and a perfect start to the season as well," Parker said. "It will get us more motivated and fired up for the upcoming games." The Bafana Bafana striker starred for Amakhosi with one of his most memorable performances for the club, while new signings Kingston Nkhatha and Siyabonga Nkosi completed the rout. Just last Sunday, the Soweto giants were humiliated 4-1 by the Brazilians in an MTN8 cup tie. "Last week was a wake-up call for us. Sundowns scored from three set-pieces and one from a mistake," Parker said. "We've worked on those things the whole week and the coach made sure we would be on our toes when defending set-pieces. "Today we kept a clean sheet, and did it well, and that is really satisfying for us. "We look forward to continue doing that for the rest of the season." Parker's powerful showing drew plenty of praise from new coach Stuart Baxter, whose side had led 2-0 at the break, before cutting loose in the second 45 minutes. "I don't know about the start of his career because I didn't see that," Baxter said. "I saw one game last year against Ajax in Polokwane and I thought that if we could get Bernard into the right sort of positions, and get him with the right angles to play with other people, then he's going to be an effective player. "I think he's got all of the qualities that a modern shadow striker should possess and we saw that tonight. "I would imagine that (national coach) Gordon (Igesund) is very pleased to see what Bernard's doing at the moment." AmaZulu boss Roger Palmgren was stunned by the result. "It's quite shocking and I cannot understand what went wrong," Palmgren said. "We'll have a meeting first thing tomorrow to discuss it." Elsewhere on Saturday, Thamsanqa Sangweni, Usuthu's key player from last season, scored a free-kick 19 minutes from time to give new club Sundowns a hard-fought 1-0 win over promoted Chippa United in Pretoria. Black Leopards needed late penalty from Rodney Ramagalela to beat Bloemfontein Celtic 3-2 in Polokwane after throwing away a 2-0 lead midway through the second half. It was the first time in five seasons that the Limpopo club began a campaign with victory. In Bethlehem, goals from Paulus Masehe and Noah Chivuta gave Free State Stars a comfortable 2-0 victory over big-spending Wits at Goble Park.

Canada Day Beer Fridge Only Opens When Sung National Anthem
Molson Canadian puts a nation through its paces with its brilliant new campaign.
The ad team at beer brand Molson Canadian is testing the country's patriotism with its newest promotional stunt. To celebrate the nations's 147th birthday, the brand released a beer fridge that only unlocks if people can correctly sing 'O, Canada,' the country's national anthem, in perfect time and with emotion.
The patriotic refrigerator lights up and buzzes if anyone singing makes a mistake, but when the anthem is sung correctly it unlocks, allowing the true Canadians to enjoy the ice cold product.
The brand placed the fridges all over Canada just before Canada Day, July 1st. Molson Canadian has put on a similar stunt in the past, when they placed their signature red fridge at the Winter Olympics in Sochi and around Europe. In that campaign, the beer fridges would only open when a Canadian passport was scanned.
These types of promotional antics are fun, simple and clever ways to reach hearts in the brand's own nation.

Holy Land - November 2008: Pacific Princess Cruise Review by srwade01
Overall Member Rating
Holy Land - November 2008
Destination: Middle East
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
We spent the 3 days prior to the cruise touring on our own in Venice and Rome using the rail system for transportation between cities and the metro for transportation Rome. We also used the railway for our transfer to the port. The port is a short walk from the railway station however there were no taxis to be found. Not a major problem unless you have lots of luggage. Once you reach the port (about 1000 yards) there is a shuttle bus to the ship. Embarkation went smoothly. We arrived about midway through the allotted time and walked straight up to the desk and were onboard within 10 minutes.
We were greeted by a staff member More on arrival and given directions to our cabin. We were not escorted to our cabin as we have been on some other lines. Cabin was as expected however proved to be very noisy. This particular cabin has a door to the adjoining cabin. Not sure if this was the problem but it was almost like being in the same room as our relatives who were in the adjoining cabin. Note to self - no more connecting cabins!
Food onboard was average to good. I have had better on Princess in the past. The menu was not as rich as on past voyages on larger ships. We did try the Sabatinis Italian and it was up to the usual high standards and was surprisingly almost empty. We did not try the Steakhouse. Royal Princess is not your typical Princess ship. She is considerably smaller (around 670 passengers) and hails from the Renaissance Cruise lines R series of ships of which Princess has 3 (Royal and Tahitian being the other 2 with Tahitian being renamed Ocean in 2009). The ship is small and intimate with almost no lines other than for tenders. This also translates into not a lot to do when on sea days unless you like bingo, trivia etc. In fairness we had not so great weather (rather cold) so that pretty much eliminated any poolside activities or use in general. Entertainment was average at best. Due to small size, there is no Theater but rather a cabaret lounge. Entertainment troupe was very small (8 members). They were very good but you get tired of the same faces! Orchestra is a quartet who were also very good. Not much opportunity for dancing (ballroom). We did check out the disco a couple of nights. Music left a lot to be desired, I think in part as the DJ was not western (probably Filipino) and did not seem to be in touch with western tastes. We left the village people etc in the 70s. Not what we want to listen to today. They did cater to requests which my wife kept them busy with! Other entertainers were mixed in quality. Ports of call
Naples: we took the ships excursion to Pompeii which was very good other than the rain!. Note that this as is common with most excursions on this voyage has a lot of walking over uneven surfaces and a lot of stairs and small hills. Not handicap friendly at all. This was not a problem for my wife and I but grandma had some trouble with this but did very well overall. Be careful to check this out before spending a lot of $$ on these excursions.
Alexandria: we organized our own excursion with www.temotours.com and were delighted. We did an overnight to cairo including hotel for under $300 per person, rejoining the ship the next day in Port Said. Good thing because there were no excursions offered in Port Said by Princess and those who did not book overnights were very disappointed in Port Said. We saw the Pyramids, Sphinx, Step Pyramid Mohammed Ali mosque, light show, Egyptian Museum, bazaar and had a Nile dinner cruise. All went well. Don't be alarmed at the armed police escort that joins the convoy of buses part way on the trip to Port Said. This is normal.
Ashodod: we took the Princess Grand Overland excursion and stayed overnight in Jerusalem. We entered the West Bank uneventfully to visit Jerusalem and also took in all of the major Holy Land sites in Jerusalem, Galilee and Nazareth, returning to the ship in Haifa.
Ephesus: we did the Best of Ephesus excursion through Princess which was very good although very similar to Pompeii.
Patmos: we did the Best of Patmos excursion which was good but probably not worth the money as there is really not much to see.
Santorini: we passed on the organized excursions and spent the day wandering in the quaint villages. We took a cab up to Oia where the views are magnificent.
Athens: we booked with Georges Taxis for transfers and an 8 hour tour by taxi. Service was excellent and we were able to see all that we wanted in one day. We stayed two days in Athens but could have seen what we wanted to in one.
All in all a vacation to remember and one that we would highly recommend. Less

Cabin review: BD6024 Balcony
Cabin was fair. Bathroom is VERY small with shower being about 24 inches at the widest point. Okay if your are of average build - just dont drop the soap! We found that sound insulation was poor but that could be due to the connecting door on our cabin - although it was never open. Not much storage space for luggage. We had hardback Samsonite cases which would not fit under the beds however our cabin steward put them in storage for us.Read All Balcony (BD) Reviews >>

Limbaugh Uses Hu's Visit to Mock Chinese Culture
Rush Limbaugh used Chinese President Hu Jintao's state visit to the U.S. as an opportunity to mock Chinese culture, including the sound of Hu's speech, and suggested that "everybody's going to be hungry a half-hour after" the state dinner for the Chinese delegation.
Limbaugh: Chinese "Sounds Like All The Same Word"
Limbaugh Mocks Chinese President's Untranslated Speech. From Limbaugh's January 19 radio show:
LIMBAUGH: Eh, never mind. We're not gonna gyp Fox. I wanted to gyp it because the -- well, the -- Hu Jintao, he was speaking, and they weren't translating. They -- they, normally -- you have some translator every couple of words. But Hu Jintao was just going [mocking Chinese speech].
Nobody was translating. But that's the closest I can get. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 1/19/10 [1]]
Limbaugh Says He Tried To Transcribe Chinese President's Remarks "Phonetically," Again Mocks Chinese Speech. From Limbaugh's radio show:
LIMBAUGH: Hi, and welcome back. Rush Limbaugh.
I have to admit I'm amused by this. Probably very few other people are, but I am. During our obscene profit timeout, I'm watching the news conference between President Obama and Chinese ChiCom leader Hu Jintao, and I've not seen this before. Hu Jintao is speaking, speaking and speaking with no translator. They wait till he finishes, and then they read what he said in toto.
And of course, we don't know. The translator could be making it all up. Hu Jintao could be -- he could be telling us -- who knows what he could be saying to us? The translator is saying [speaks with accent]: "We want to work together, two countries in the world. China is developing country. America, developed country -- but not for long."
He didn't say that. But I'm fascinated. I'm listening to this -- I found myself trying to write down what Hu Jintao was saying in Chinese. Phonetically, so I could repeat it to you.
Well, it's a -- it looks like chicken scrawls. I said, "I wonder what -- I wonder to people who can't speak English, what does it sound like to them?" Because when I hear Chinese or Japanese, it sounds like all the same word. And I can't - I can't comprehend of anybody understanding it. But of course, that's silly. But he's sitting there, [mocks Chinese speech].
And I couldn't write down anymore. I was losing track of -- because I'm looking up as he's saying all this, and they cut to Obama looking intently as though he understands every word of it, which -- what would you expect from the - from the ruling class? [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 1/19/10 [2]]
Limbaugh: "Real Question" About State Dinner For China Is "Whether Everybody's Going To Be Hungry A Half-Hour After They Eat." From Limbaugh's radio show:
LIMBAUGH: By the way, just to be clear, folks, still not certain here whether Harry Reid meant his comment about the ChiComs being a dictatorship in a derogatory or complimentary way. I mean, China is an authoritarian, collectivist dictatorship, but we don't know that Dingy Harry would necessarily find any fault with that. He seems to be in support of that kind of -- and we certainly know Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times love the authoritarianism of the ChiComs. He says when the ruling elite of the right people meets democracy -- hands down, it's the only way you're really going to get things done. Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times.
The real question about this state dinner tonight is that whether everyone's going to be hungry a half-hour after they eat, but I don't know that we'll get any news on that. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 1/19/10 [3]]
Limbaugh Uses China's Visit To Fearmonger About Obama Administration
Limbaugh On Obama's Comment That China's Political System Is "Very Different" From Ours: "Yeah, Maybe -- But Not For Long." On his radio show, Limbaugh said of the press conference:
LIMBAUGH: Obama's up there telling the press corps that China has a very different political system than we do. Yeah, maybe -- but not for long. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 1/19/10 [4]]

April Fool's: Samuel Adams Announces Heliyum Beer
Posted on April 1, 2014
Samuel Adams introduced a new beer called HeliYUM today. The beer contains helium as a special ingredient. Samuel Adams says in the announcement, "Helium's unique index of refraction creates brilliant clarity while providing an incredibly light mouth feel. Since Helium is an odorless gas, it doesn't compete with the natural aromas of the ingredients. From a freshness perspective, helium doesn't oxidize which allows for a much longer shelf life."
It also makes your voice sound funny. Take a look:

On a dealing desk they might refer to it as the smell of burning flesh. Friday marked the eighth straight session of gains for the benchmark S&P ASX 200 index, the best winning streak since March 2010, when it also rose for eight consecutive sessions.
In that time the index has risen about 3.5 per cent in a slow but sure manner. It's been a tough few years for sharemarket investors and many have fled the risky asset class and sought the sanctuary of safe havens.
But now that shares are on a roll again it appears to be squeezing those investors who are not fully invested.
And there are a lot of them. For those not in shares it's always painful to see the market rising. That's why brokers would describe it as the smell of burning flesh.
The graph below shows just how much money has been put into bond funds over the past 20 years and it runs into billions.
Already this year as trading gets under way there are reports of flows in the US coming out of those safe-haven assets and into shares, which is helping keep the rally on Wall Street going.
And for all the wall of worry that local shares endured last year – think China, Europe and the US – the index rose 14 per cent, and now, armed with new year optimism, they appear to be on a roll again.
It's also been a tough few years for brokers as low volumes have forced staff cutbacks and consolidation.
It's why they'd be cheering each positive session as their pitch for shares as the place to be shows signs of finally paying off.
As Nouriel Roubini – the economics professor at New York University known for calling the financial crisis earlier than most – says, things right now are "less worse than they were last summer''.
Less worse means not out of the woods, but there is more than just a hint of hope as 2013 begins.
Shares often do well at the beginning of the year, but for any rally to be sustained, earning must eventually flow through.
In the US overnight, Apple shares fell almost 12 per cent to an 11-month low after the company reported first-quarter revenue that fell short of analyst expectations, as iPhone sales were at the bottom end of street estimates.
Last year, earnings growth for US companies was flat, but Wall Street rose 12 per cent, meaning investors have given corporates the benefit of the doubt and are betting there will be more profitable days ahead.
If this recent run continues, shares might post their longest winning streak since 2004. The index rose for eight sessions in 2005, but for nine winning days investors have to go back to December 2004, a Santa Claus rally if ever there was one.

AMP Web Editorial Board Report
By Mary Lowery Nordberg, PhD
AMP Website Editor
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
We have moved into a truly interactive mode with the AMP Website. Selected members of the AMP Web Editorial Board now have the ability to author or edit a page directly in a web-enhanced template (cutting down on the back-and-forth emails). With the help of ASIP web staff, Chris Wallington, Alta Wallington, Mary Williams, and others we now have licensed copies of Adobe Contribute installed. After a few group and independent in-services, we have been instructed on how we now have the capability for rapid input and updating. Once our content articles are complete, the authors can send for "Publish", which will then be reviewed and uploaded for all to enjoy. There may be multiple writers, who will submit their content for review, and in turn submit finalized content to website publishers. This way, the dynamic, ever-changing world of Molecular Pathology can evolve at the drop of a hat (or a keystroke and mouse-click). Introduced to you in the previous Newsletters, the "Content" (or writers) team is comprised of representatives from each of the AMP Subdivisions: Genetics (Ron Przygodzki), Hematopathology (David Bosler), Infectious Diseases (Wayne Wang), and Solid Tumors (George Netto and Katherine Geiersbach). Other liaisons on the Board are Ted Schutzbank (Chair, Publications Committee and Secretary-Treasurer), and Alexis Carter (AMP Test Directory Editor). Our next big push is for content assignments and Committee/Subdivision liaison work. The Content editors will be soliciting content to fill the pages! Remember, the dissemination of current content is open to all within the AMP membership. You do not have to be on the Web Editorial Board to submit an article/topic of interest!
I thank members of the various AMP Committees who have agreed to be their Committee's liaison to the Web Editorial Board: Laura Tafe from Clinical Practice Committee, Sam Caughron from Economic Affairs Committee, Shelby Melton from Professional Relations Committee, and Craig MacKinnon from Training & Education Committee.
As always, if you have suggestions, questions, or want to be more involved, please do not hesitate to contact me or the other members of the Web Editorial Board! We will continue to give you more exciting updates as we progress.

I was beginning to think that it had all but disappeared until this past year. We've attended several churches over the past 15 years and while we've invited others into our home for food and fellowship it was only on rare occasions that it was reciprocated. This left us feeling isolated and longing for true friendships that went beyond the "'How are you?' 'I'm fine'" stage.
How is it that we can be in churches with 300+ people and yet we don't really know one another? I honestly believe it is because we have put church into this little box and we don't allow it to spill over into other areas. Do you remember the little fingerplay:
"Here is the steeple." (forefingers taken out and put up.)
"Open the door and see all the people." (invert hands and wiggle fingers to represent the people.)
That little rhyme has it all mixed up. The church is not simply the structure that people go to but instead it is the believers that come together. The fingerplay would be better if it said: "Here is the building. Here is the steeple. Open the door and see all the church." For this reason we have tried to be more deliberate in our speech when we are talking to our children and instead of saying "We're going to church." We say "We're going to be with the church." Of course, it's not a big deal to mix up the phrases but it is important that we always remember what the church is.
Over this past year we have been in and out of the homes of so many members of the church (both from our local church body and others) and have had the privilege of hosting many in our home as well. There are so many joys to be had over a simple dinner, games and sharing family worship with others. It takes us beyond the rote conversations and digs deeper where relationships begin to grow. We were once feeling starved for friendships and now we are so blessed that we couldn't even imagine moving away from Phoenix (despite my longing for green).
There are many excuses that we make to not have others over and I thought that I would take a moment to address some of them.
• The number one excuse is simply a lack of intention. When you have that conversation on Sunday with the person sharing the pew with your family and they say "We should get together sometime" stop right there and make plans for that current week to actually get together. So often we say that we want to see someone but week after week goes by and then we simply stop saying it because it's a bit embarrassing to say it once more. Mean what you say and say what you mean.
• We are simply too busy. It's a common fact that Americans are busy and we are great about overloading our schedules with sport practices and games, music rehearsals and concerts, and church programming. If we say that we are too busy then it is time to do something about that and begin eliminating activities that draw us away from our home. Carve out at least one night a week that is open for having people over.
• We don't have the space or a home of our own. I can absolutely sympathize with this statement and can share what we have done to overcome. Don't feel limited to the walls where you reside to invite people into. Arrange for dinner at a local park or consider meeting at a cheap restaurant. We have also been known to bring all of the ingredients for dinner over to a friend's house and prepare it there.
• Funds are tight and we can barely feed our family let alone feeding someone else's every week. Don't worry- no one seems to have money these days and beans and rice go a long way. Here's one of our favorite meals that stretches the food easily:
Chipotle Chicken with Beans and Rice
Cook dried pinto beans in a pressure cooker for 25 minutes and place in a bowl.We rarely serve a dessert (sometimes people who are coming over offer to bring one) and always have water with our meals, so there is no additional expense.
Cook brown rice for 30 minutes on stovetop.
Toss in four or five boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (you can usually get these on sale for $0.99/lb) into pressure cooker.
Puree a can of chipotle peppers and spoon in about a third of it onto the chicken. (Freeze the rest for future vistors.)
Slice up an onion and throw that on top of the chicken along with some cumin and fresh garlic and a cup of broth.
Pressure cook for 15 minutes and viola your chicken is ready to be shredded up with a fork.
Tear up some lettuce and have everyone pile the beans, rice and chicken on top along with tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream, cheese and avocado (on sale typically for $0.25 each).
• No one has ever invited us over. Start a new trend in your church and talk to your pastor about the importance of hospitality. Maybe you can get him on board and the church can get some motivation straight from the pulpit!
• I wouldn't know what to do with visitors. This is the fun part! Have fun! Learn a new game. We love playing card games but there are tons of great games to be discovered. Visit Goodwill (my favorite store) and pick up a game super cheap.
o Do Family Worship together. We make it a goal to share our family worship with anyone that comes over in the evening. We stick to the same routine but just add them in so they can choose a favorite song and pray with us.
o Do an activity together. The past couple of years I have coordinated a Gingerbread decorating event for friends. The only problem is I don't have a home of my own to host this in. So what's to be done? I asked a dear friend if we could use her home and she was thrilled to help out with this. Now, several parents and their children get together with ooey gooey icing and candy treats to create masterpieces while making a joyful noise in singing.
Showing hospitality isn't just a matter of courtesies that we ought to extend to one another but it is something that God specifically chose to show us in His Word. For instance in 1 Peter 4:9 we are told "Be hospitable to one another without grumbling." In the Bible hospitality is often in the form of proving lodging for the traveling teachers. This need is still here and I am thankful for the times when Brad has had to travel distances to teach that made it where he couldn't make it back to our home that night and someone in the congregation offered him a place to stay. These overnight visits provided him a respite before starting the journey back home and at the same time he has gained friendships with the host families. Even if you are unable to host someone for an entire night, God still directs "Let brotherly love continue." Hebrews 13:1. What better way to show brotherly love than to extend hospitality.
This is the perfect time for launching out in hospitality. Look around your church and see if there is a widow or older couple that may enjoy having dinner with you. Could there be a new young family in your church that just moved across the country and has no extended family close by? You could be an "adopted" aunt, uncle or even grandparent! Consider inviting a church leader and his family over for fellowship. Remember, they need friends too. Start filling in your calendar and you will soon see your heart filling with brotherly (and sisterly) love!

Southwestern falls to 2-2 after tough loss to Texas Tech
|FEB 4, 2001 - It started out great. The Southwestern Lacrosse team came out in the first quarter on Sunday despite missing four starters and only 15 guys
in uniform, and outplayed Texas Tech. The offense was patient, the
defense was exceptional, and everyone on the team simply out-hustled
Texas Tech by the end of the first quarter, where the Bucs trailed by a
score of 2-1.
The lone Southwestern score of the game came from Mat Siekielski filling in at attack for one of our injured starters.By the time the whistle blew for half-time, the game was essentially over as Tech ran off ten unanswered goals. Texas Tech did exactly what we could not let them do; beat us in transition and capitalize on our mistakes.
Southwestern finished off the second half of the game with great defensive play and hustle, holding Tech to only 5 goals in the second half. Freshman goalie, Jason Grasty stepped up his play, and our transition game picked up.
The loss to Tech showed us what needs to be worked on. Every goal from Tech except 5 were from a fast break opportunity or man-up situation. Without the second quarter, this game might have been very different. Texas Tech deserves a lot of credit. A very fast team that simply ran us into the ground, Tech was able to take advantage of our team size and weaknesses. We are hoping that we can improve on both of these by the Baylor game on Saturday.
Southwestern travels to Waco this coming Saturday to play Baylor, fresh back from a California trip. Baylor beat Southwestern at home last year. Each year however, both teams have been evenly matched, with one goal deciding the game two of the last three years.
Southwestern is hoping that it will get back two of its star middies for the game and be as close to full strength as possible for the first time all year. It definitely plans on increasing its shots on goal ratio over the Tech game where only twenty one shots were attempted the entire game by Southwestern.

Is this a real character or speculation? Where is she mentioned? Mafalda Hopkirk 04:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- A part from the book where Bartemius Crouch Sr. is madly talking to a tree in the Forbidden Forest. He mentioned Mrs. Fudge briefly. --ÈnŔîčö DC(Send me an Owl!) 02:09, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Can we really conclude that this individual was Fudge's wife if the only evidence is the brief ravings of someone who wasn't in their right mind? He could have been referring to Fudge's mother, or it's entirely possible that Fudge's wife was a delusion that he himself had been created. If Fudge was married, it seems at least a bit odd that there was never any other reference in the series to his wife. ProfessorTofty 21:09, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

State whether the following equations are independent, dependent, consistent, inconsistent: 4x + 8y = 2 and x + 2y = 1/2
- print Print

3 Answers
The equations given are: 4x + 8y = 2 and x + 2y = 1/2.
Plotting the lines represented by the two equations gives:
Both the equations give the same line. The equations have an infinite number of solutions.
The equations that are given are consistent but dependent.
They are dependent.
Notice that the first equation is exactly the second equation multiplied by 4 on both sides. So this system is dependent.
