Globally recognized professional training provider, Watermark Learning, marks its 20th anniversary this March.
With ties to Arizona, Watermark Learning offers regularly-scheduled public classes in Phoenix, one of four North American locations.
Since the founding of Watermark Learning in 1992 by Richard Larson, the firm has fostered results through a unique blend of industry best practices, a practical approach to learning and an engaging style of subject matter delivery. Students acquire retainable, real-world skills that motivate and enhance their job performance with practical and lasting results.
Growing from a one-person operation offering a handful of IT training courses, Watermark Learning is now an international institution, offering college-accredited training in business analysis, project management and business process management. With this expansion, Watermark Learning now offers courses in Mexico through Servicios Educacionales en Analisis de Negocios (SEAN). As a global firm, Watermark Learning also reaches out offering courses in South Africa through the Faculty Training Institute (FTI) with hopes of pursuing other international partners.
"The training field back in the 1990s was significantly different from today's training world," Larson says. "The pace of work today and the demands back on the job tend to dictate that classes and exercises be shorter today than they were in the 1990s. Back then, classes were typically five days long, and today most of our clients need shorter classes of two or at most three days."
Watermark Learning's ongoing growth is reflected in its recent move to new and larger quarters outside of Minneapolis, Minn. with a larger facility, a much-improved classroom environment with the latest layout and technology to provide an optimal learning venue.
"Now it's typical to spend just a half hour in a workshop," Larson adds. "Technology today also permits us to do virtual training over the Internet and work with people from all over the world attending our classes at the same time. That is very exciting."
In addition to public open-enrollment classes in Minneapolis, Watermark Learning also conducts a number of classes in Chicago, Phoenix and Toronto. Also available online are regularly scheduled, instructor-led classes with live, virtual training programs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/2/2013 (1650 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I've been in a relationship with a married man for 16 months. I was his client and he handled my file. He told me and others he was single, and I'd actually talked to him on a dating site in the past. When I found out and caught him, I was livid, and he supposedly asked her for a divorce. There has been no sexual relationship in quite some time and they sleep in separate bedrooms and have separate lives. Well, after many countless lies to me about moving and lawyers, his wife found out I existed. His marriage is now ending, but he's still there and taking his anger for it out on me. I never wanted to be part of this. He made lies so believable. I accept my responsibility. I've ended things now and (I'm) never going back. Do I owe it to her to tell her the truth about who her husband really is? Their children are grown and gone. -- Heavily Burdened, South Winnipeg
Dear Burdened: You can't wreck a wreck. The marriage is "over" -- unless that's another lie. Speak with his wife to let her know what he did to you. Apologize for not knowing about her existence. But really... why did you not check out his living situation? These days, when we are often living in cities with no community to verify the truth of a person's living situation, we have to check up on ALL new people. A snake like this guy can give you a big line through work, and dazzle you with lunches and dinners but you must insist on seeing where he sleeps. If he dodges that (because of photographs and his/her clothes in the closet) you know something's up.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a woman in the airport while waiting for a flight to a certain country in the Carribbean. I fell in love at first sight. We held hands finally and kissed goodbye, but I had to run to my flight and didn't get her number. Is it too late? -- Wanting Her So Bad, North End
Dear Wanting: If you're trying to get her number by writing this column, it won't work. We don't pass along information to get people together because we don't know who either one of you are. You may be perfectly nice and safe, or you may be a scary dude. Single people need to know there is often ONE opportunity to get the number they desire, and they need to get it when they still can.
Questions or comments? Please email email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1350 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

ALL the talk comes to an end on Friday night for Scott Higginbotham when he plays his first game for the Melbourne Rebels against the Western Force in the Super Rugby season opener.
Higginbotham was the Rebels' highest-profile recruit for this season, the big back-rower defecting from the Queensland Reds where his aggression and line-out jumping established him as one of the best forwards in the country.
Rebels coach Damien Hill has no doubt of Higginbotham's worth.
''We've got one of the top back-rowers in Australia,'' he said. ''He likes to play in space, but he also plays tight and he plays with a lot of aggression, a lot of passion. He's used to winning and that's the driving ingredient.
''He's been with the Reds, he's been with the Wallabies, he has high expectations and high standards and part of the benefit of having a player like Scott in the team is that it brings up the majority of the squad. That's an important part of having players of that calibre in the team, you make sure that the remaining squad is always trying to reach their standards.''
Higginbotham, 26, who made his Super Rugby debut in 2008, said he would apply what he had learnt during the tougher times the Reds experienced before their 2011 title to his new team. He agreed with Reds captain James Horwill's comments during the week that there were similarities between the Rebels and that Reds team.
''We are a young side which we were at the Reds as well. There's a lot of good players coming through here and a lot of talent. My expectations are very high,'' he said.
''I was there with James when we were going through that stage when you'd be just in a game but you'd lose those tight matches. That's just something that comes from experience and that's what some of the young boys need to learn.
''It's just about belief and playing for your mates, whereas back then [in Queensland] it was OK to go into a game and come close, and that might have been what the mindset was for the Rebels boys the last couple of years. But we're at a stage now where it's not all right and that's what we're going to prove to the rest of the competition and to ourselves - that we're capable of winning those games.''
Meanwhile, the Force named its team on Thursday with front-rower Pek Cowan to captain in the absence of the injured Matt Hodgson. The clash will also mark the return of former Wallaby Hugh McMeniman after three seasons in Japan.
Force coach Michael Foley will look to McMeniman, who was plagued with shoulder and knee injuries in his five seasons with the Reds, to lead by example against the Rebels, particularly in the absence of Hodgson and the loss of Wallabies duo Nathan Sharpe (retirement) and David Pocock (Brumbies).
Foley said the 114-kilogram powerhouse had the ability to play for the Wallabies again.
''Nothing's changed too much about Hugh,'' he said. ''He's a couple of years older but he's still the guy who plays with unbelievable fearlessness.
''He has almost no regard for his body, which we've tried to temper a little bit, but once he gets on the field there's no hesitation.
''Now he has a real hunger to test himself and play for Australia again.''

Once again the comment section of Womanist Musings is the inspiration behind a new post. I was recently honoured by a visit from Barry Deustch aka Ampersand from Alas A Blog. I am a huge fan of his. In the comment following his, he was referred to as a "mangina" by an ignorant MRA commenter who uses the alias MetalOver30.
Since this was a direct attack I briefly flirted with the idea of deleting it until I realized that it was meant to insult Mr.Deustch by inferring that somehow being feminine,or having female sexual organs is demeaning. Once again we see the rise of the female as pejorative. It is quite similar to saying someone throws like a girl; thus equating femininity with inferiority.
Despite the rhetoric of equality the MRA clearly feel that women are less than. This is not unique to this hate group, in fact it is the basis of patriarchy. Woman as an inferior being allows the privileging of masculinity and the perpetuation of misogyny. I am sure MetalOver30 did not see the sexism in his commentary because as an "equal rights" activists, the MRA are only trying to ensure that men are respected.
There seems to be a social idea that a man that has a feminist out look on life is somehow emasculated. The idea that a man can retain all aspects of his masculinity, while at the same time wholeheartedly agreeing that women are his equals, is attacked by patriarchy because the very idea destabilizes the male inalienable right to control and power based in sex and gender construction. The opposite is in fact true.
For a man to stand up and assert that women are his equal and openly advocate for an end of the systemic inequalities that gender disparity causes is indeed a courageous act. Consider the attack that a stay at home dad faces. Though the role of parenting is indeed challenging, when performed by a male it is even more subject to ridicule. Nurturing and masculinity are deemed to be at social odds.
A man that owns the feminist identity is very quickly attacked as an effeminate loser. This is just one of the ways that sexism hurts men to. A masculinity that must constantly present an image of control, aggression and power is limiting in that it does not allow men a wide range of experience or emotion.
While the term mangina is meant to be an insult, I believe that we should see it for what it is, a man that refuses to allow the world to dictate who and what he should believe simply because he has a penis. It takes a real man to stand up for what he believes in the face of constant attack. Let us reclaim the magina from the pantheon of pejoratives; thus reducing the stigma attached to feminist identified males. Having a vagina or sympathizing with women who seek to create a world in which all genders are equal need not be a mark of weakness if we fight against it.
So to all the manginas in the crowd…keep on rocking it and rest assured that there are many who see your daily struggle and applaud you for it.

Good Friday football is coming, finally, to the AFL.
And while AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan admits North Melbourne's long-standing bid for the right to stage such a game deserves due consideration, he says the Swans are also in the running.
North Melbourne, Carlton and Western Bulldogs have been among those pushing for Good Friday football, which was approved on Monday by the AFL commission.
"There has been a growing appetite to hold a game on this day and on balance we believe the time is right," AFL commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick told a media conference on Monday.
"AFL matches are scheduled on every other public holiday during the season.
"It's now up to the AFL executive to determine whether or not to create a Good Friday fixture and if so when and where."
McLachlan acknowledged the departure of his predecessor Andrew Demetriou had been a factor, given that Demetriou was an opponent of staging a game on the religious holiday.
"Andrew had a view and I'm a different person to Andrew," McLachlan said.
But McLachlan said the concept of playing on Good Friday might not be a good fit for the league's fixture in 2015.
"Next year the most likely weekend we would start the season would be that Easter weekend after the Cricket World Cup final and that makes it problematic," he said.
"So I don't think it's a given we'll play next year and part of that is the difficulty of finding a match-up."
McLachlan said last week's sold-out clash at the SCG between Sydney and Port Adelaide was an appealing prospect as a possible Good Friday game.
"Sydney at 4.40pm might be a great slot up there or Gold Coast might be great," McLachlan said.
"There's no doubt the Kangaroos have been talking about this for some time and I certainly think that's a consideration.
"There's a lot of clubs who would love a run at it.
"I don't think we're in a hurry. I don't think there's any need to make a decision before the whole fixture's done."
Seventh-placed North and the 13th-placed Bulldogs have been vocal about how it's their turn to host a big game. McLachlan has challenged battling clubs to play "fun football" to give themselves the best chance of coming under consideration.
"People want to see a good game and I think where the clubs sit on the ladder and what people view the contest is going to be like is as important as the two teams themselves," he said.
"If you play competitive, fun football, people watch and you'll get the good (time) slots. It's as simple as that."
McLachlan said the AFL would seek to promote the Good Friday Appeal in conjunction with any game on the religious holiday.
AFL fixturing boss Simon Lethlean had met with church groups, broadcasters and Good Friday Appeal organisers as part of discussions regarding football on Good Friday, McLachlan said.

Ohio Civil War Roster: G Co., 186th Regiment, Ohio Infantry
1865 — Ohio
Willim Wardle's name is listed on the Union Ohio Civil War Roster - Film Number M552 roll 114
196th Regiment, Ohio Infantry OVERVIEW:Organized at Camp Chase, in Columbus, Ohio, and mustered in March 25, 1865 for 1 year service under the command of Colonel Robert Patterson Kennedy. The regiment left Ohio for Winchester, Va. on March 26th. It was assigned to the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Provisional Division, Army of the Shenandoah. They performed duties at Winchester till July afterwards moving to Baltimore, Md., and garrison duty there and at Fort Delaware till September. Mustered out September 11, 1865 at Baltimore, Maryland.
(Col. Kennedy became a U.S. Representative from Ohio, 1887-1891)
Regiment lost during service 25 Enlisted men by disease.
Prelude to 196th OVI deployment:
In the fall of 1964, Union Gen. Phillip Sheridan soundly defeated Confederate Gen. Jubal Early at the Battle of Cedar Creek which effectively broke the back of the Confederate army and ended effective Confederate resistance in the Shenandoah Valley for the remainder of the war. President Abraham Lincoln rode the momentum of Sheridan's victories in the Valley, along with Gen. William T. Sherman's successes in Georgia, to re-election. Cedar Creek was one of the two largest battles fought in the Shenandoah Valley.
Riding through sleet on March 2, 1865, Custer's and Brig. Gen. Thomas Devin's cavalry divisions advanced from Staunton, arriving near Waynesboro in the early afternoon. There, they found Early's small army, consisting of a remnant of Brig. Gen. Gabriel Wharton's division and some artillery units. Early presented a brave front although the South River was to his rear, but in a few hours, the war for the Shenandoah Valley was over. Early's army fled before the Union cavalry, scattering up the mountainside. Early escaped with a few of his aides, riding away from his last battle with no forces left to contest Union control of the Shenandoah Valley.
With the Confederate threat in the Valley eliminated, General Sheridan led his cavalry overland to Petersburg to participate in the final campaign of the war in Virginia. On April 9, 1865, after collapse of the Petersburg lines and a harried retreat, General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse.
I would imagine by that time William Wardle along with the rest of the 196th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, had joined the Army of the Shenendoah, Gen. Custer had probably defeated or was in the proess of defeating Gen. Early and they probably maintained control of the region while Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox. They remained at Winchester until July.
Garrison Duty at Baltimore and Ft. Delaware:
Fort Delaware, during the Civil War, had been turned into a prison-of-war camp, and volunteer infantry units took turns guarding the fort. Here is a description of what William Wardle probably did if he was stationed at Fort Delaware:
Garrison Units
Starting in 1861, volunteer troops were sent to garrison Fort Delaware that included, Collis' Zouaves de Afrique, 19th New York Volunteers, Mlotkowski's Independent Battery A, Young's Independent Battery G (Pittsburgh Heavy Artillery), 5th Delaware Infantry, 6th Delaware Infantry, 9th Delaware Infantry, 5th Maryland Infantry, 11th Maryland Infantry, 6th Massachusetts Infantry (100 Days), 157th Pennsylvania Infantry (Battalion), 201st Pennsylvania Infantry, 215th Pennsylvania, 157th Ohio Infantry, 196th Ohio Infantry, and zouaves of the 165th New York Infantry. The fort was also used to organize and muster troops from the first state. Ahl's Independent Battery of Heavy Artillery was organized here for garrison duty. Although listed as a Delaware unit, Ahl's Battery was composed of Confederate prisoners that took the oath of allegiance.
The fort's artillery soldiers were responsible for manning the guard posts within the fort as well as serving on various duty positions on the island. Infantry troops were mainly responsible for manning guard posts along the seawall, which ran around the island. In August 1864, there were approximately 85 guard posts on the island that required about 255 men on each shift.

On August 5, 1950 near Hamchang, Korea, he was conducting an attack upon a concentration of enemy troops when his aircraft was struck by enemy antiaircraft fire. Rather than attempting to land, he dove on his target to his death. For his leadership and great valor, Major Sebille was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Purple Heart, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal.

A 19-YEAR-OLD woman behaved 'like an animal' when she was released from the cage in the back of a police van.
Blackburn magistrates heard Samantha Houlgrave screamed that she would 'bite your face off' when she was released.
And when a female officer went to help her out she locked a leg around the officer's legs and then sank her teeth into her thigh.
Houlgrave, 19, of Borrowdale Avenue, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assaulting PC Rebecca House.
She was sentenced to 18 weeks in custody suspended for 12 months with £100 compensation and £85 costs.
Mike Wallbank, prosecuting, said police were called to Borrowdale Avenue where a man had been stabbed. Houlgrave was arrested when PC House arrived.
She was kicking out and struggling before PC House and another officer transported her to the police station in handcuffs and took her straight to the non-compliant bay.
After PC House helped her out of the van Houlgrave pushed her against a wall and wrapped a leg around the officer's legs so she couldn't move.
"She then bent down and bit her on the thigh," said Mr Wallbank.
Jonathan Taylor, defending, said: "Her boyfriend was being taken to hospital but the police wouldn't let her go in the ambulance. She was upset and angry."
He said she had been recalled on prison licence after the incident and was serving 28 days in prison.

CTC invests hugely in our tutors, both initially and on an ongoing basis to ensure Instructor Trainers are:
The Instructor Trainer Award works through a mechanism of training and development during existing courses and attendance at a single weekend Instructor Trainer course. Leader and Instructor courses at each level are observed, assisted on, then provided in a progressive 'on the job' developmental process.
Through the process, we look for three key areas to be fulfilled:
Instructor Trainers are the face of CTC, the front line, and that means we help to generate the highest level of teaching, contributory ability and an ethos based on the principles of modern educational practice and trainee development.
Following initial training, you will observe and assist at each course level before delivering it. This requires a flexible approach and much depends on your previous experience and the rate at which you feel comfortable as your role increases. Hence, it may take 3 course 'shadows' to complete assessment and start providing at one level, or it may require more.
During your development as an Instructor Trainer you may, for example, become qualified to provide the Trail Leader Award whilst still training on the Technical Leader Award, resulting in you being paid as soon as you can provide at least one course level. Some Instructor Trainers are happy providing at just one level, while others look to work at all levels.

Reviews forContest-Winning New England Clam Chowder
My Review
Average Rating
"Very Good! I doubled the potatoes and used regular fat half and half. I had fresh clams, so I saut?ed them with the onion and celery."
"Like this page a lot."
"This recipe had good flavors. It thickened up quickly to begin with but thinned out a lot after adding the rest of the half and half and the clams. I would maybe add less half and half or drain one of the cans of clams next time."
"This is a fabulous recipe! Great flavor and consistency. It's reasonably simple to make and many of the ingredients are things I have on hand in my pantry and fridge. I have substituted whole milk instead of half and half before and it's still good, but the half and half yields slightly better results. I like to add a handful of fresh chopped parsley at the end."
"Was so flavorful im glad i made it. I served it with garlic bread sticks!"
"I substituted 2 leeks (mostly the white parts) for the onion, unsalted chicken broth for the bullion and added salt to taste. This is a great recipe!! Thanks for sharing."
"I have a recipe I love and thought I would give this one a try. My old favorite is much better."
"This was the first time I made clam chowder and I made this for supper tonight. My family and I really liked it! I doubled the recipe, more than doubled the potatoes and decreased the half and half to 3 cups, instead of 4 cups with the recipe doubled.Thank you for the recipe!"
"This was an excellent recipe for clam chowder. I did use 3 cans of clams which I drained and added the juice to the water for cooking the potatoes and did not buy 8 oz. of just clam juice separetly. I also used 1/4 instead of 1/3 cup flour because I did not want it too thick, it was perfect for us with 1/4 cup flour. I wish the reviewer "from New England" had been more specific in why she would not make this again. A negative remark with no explanation is of no help at all. Enlighten us please as to why you made it in the first place since you have stated it "is definetly NOT New England Clm Chowder.""

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life.

KJCC was formed in the spring of 2008 with the simple objective of encouraging children and families to get out on their bikes and discover the fun and freedom that cycling offers. The club is supported by adult volunteers who accompany the children on the rides and assist our longer residential rides by providing catering and route support. The ethos is light touch supervision, keeping the kids safe on public roads, but empowering them too to ride assertively and safely and feel that they can be trusted and respected by other road users.
2010 was a particularly notable year. They took a party of 36 riders and support team to Scotland for a fabulous encounter with the coast and mountain scenery of Arran and Argyll. Later in the year they also squeezed in a weekend residential ride across Exmoor to Minehead. Their summer 'Lido Series' was very popular where they timetabled a series of rides to visit outdoor swimming spots over the school summer holidays.

England's second NatWest International Twenty20 against South Africa was abandoned after the weather allowed only one short, frantic session at Old Trafford.
England were 29 for two after 4.1 overs of their reply to South Africa's 77 for five in a match reduced to nine overs per side when steady rain began to fall.
A result would have been recorded had another five balls been bowled - and England would have won had they added another 13 - but South Africa will still lead the series 1-0 heading to the third match at Edgbaston.
The match had been delayed by two and a quarter hours by earlier rain but there was still a certain familiarity to South Africa's batting as Hashim Amla again dominated. The prolific batsman proved his mastery of English bowling covers all formats by cracking seven fours in an unbeaten 47 from 30 balls.
Amla opened the batting after a rethink during the delay to play. Jacques Kallis had initially accompanied Richard Levi to the crease for the scheduled start but it began to rain as Steven Finn prepared to bowl the first ball. Kallis was kept waiting as the game began at a frenetic pace with Finn having Levi caught behind by Craig Kieswetter down the legside off the first ball.
Amla took control by flashing hard and after the three-over powerplay South Africa had 32 runs on the board, but by then captain AB de Villiers had also gone, miscuing a pull to Jade Dernbach at mid-on off Finn.
As has been a recurring quirk this season, Finn dislodged a bail in his delivery stride but unlike previous occasions - and another moments later - dead ball was not called.
England started to slow the rate with the introduction of Graeme Swann in the fourth over. Albie Morkel was the next man out when he failed to clear Jonny Bairstow at cover off the bowling of the recalled Luke Wright.
Amla had a reprieve when he was badly dropped by Eoin Morgan off Swann but the bowler himself showed how it should be done by running back to catch JP Duminy one-handed next ball.
Kieswetter claimed his second catch to remove Justin Ontong off Dernbach before Kallis finally came to the crease at number seven. Kallis had a fortunate escape when one shot landed just short of Dernbach but was unbeaten on 13 at the end of the innings as rain started to fall again.

Hi All
I have built my first website using XHTML & CSS after reading and learning xhtml and css from sitepoint books, which was great and expanded my site by introducing coding ideas from others using only Xhtml and CSSproblem is now i have started expanding this site, new pages etc. I have to change every other page EG. navigation..I have been looking at CMS and the multitude out there, I am over whelmed by these, I only started learning and building my website last year.I have put galleries on 4 of these pages with more to follow, the site is image strong and I am not sure which CMS would be usefull for me.I have no knowage of othe codings JS or PHP except the bit I had to learn for a contact pageMy problem is I am nearly 60 and I do not want to go into some some CMS that is not right for me and waste my time, It is only for me to use on my website which is located in the UK for my UK business.I know I am not allowed to mention my website, so if anyone out ther could contact me to look at what i have created and give me their expert advice, I would be very grateful.
Tony Anderson
If you are turning the site over to someone else to add content, or just want to learn a CMS, there are several. I have only dabbled with CMS and I am now working on using WordPress as a CMS.
If you are just looking for a way to ease using repetitive code, have you considered using PHP includes. I put an include on every page for my navigation, and other content that is the same from page to page.
Hi Bill
Thank you for your reply, looks intresting One never stop's learning, Does One !!!:DHad a quick look at PHP Includes, do not know that existed, will be looking at that more closely, more than likely use it, thats for sure.Still - would like to add a CMS to my site so one of my staff could change a few things when required, or have I got to rewrite my site from scratch using a cms to make it useable for others
If you have a specific question about it that requires us to inspect your code etc, it's fine to post a link.
There are all kinds of CMSs out there, large and small. Some are really simple and great for simple page updates.
Feel free to post your list of requirements here, but you might also like to check out some simple, online options like [CushyCMS or [URL="http://www.pagelime.com/"]PageLime](http://www.cushycms.com/en).
This is the simplest kind of CMS, where you just make a region on your page editable, adding in some simple tags.
If you want down this route, you'd still stay with your otherwise static site—in which case, I'd also recommend the PHP includes for items that are repeated on multiple pages like the menu. Here are some simple notes I put together on includes a while back.
Hi Ralph
Thanks for your reply, my website is A Specialist Interior Office Fit Out and Refurbishment Company SOUTHERNI know i have a lot to still learn, but its fun:D
taken onboard what you have said, I really like the PHP Includs as also indicated by bill,Had a quick play around with PHP Includes and a tutorial on haw to build a php website from scratch, this example sets a a basic template for a layout.Now this has my attention.
looking at my site would it benifit from rewriting it in PHP/HTML5/CSS3looking already to upgrade it, especially with the gallery section
or would I benifit from a CMS set up
OR bothI am not fully aware of what can be done web design/runningI will be adding more pages with galleries to this site
HTML5/CSS3 are neither here nor there really. They aren't ready for use in the real world, and you don't need them, so don't worry about that. Whether or not to use a CMS is up to you. If you don't mind doing everything manually, then there's no reason to, but if others need to update content, or you want a smoother content handling system (with the added benefits some CMSs offer to boot) then go for it. It's a decision you have to make yourself.
Thanks for your advice
I have just installed Joomla 1.6 and tried this out to see whats involvedIt may hold the key, but I have for the moment opted for PHP-Includes, which in my mind does what it says on the tin, if there are any other smart ideas that you know and might be helpful, please let me know
All the bestTony
I guess my only other sage advice would be to steer clear of Joomla and get a better CMS. :eek:
I know what you mean;)Thats why I decided to use the php-include method for now.it could be me but i found joomla restricting, or maybe thats how cms's work
Just between you and me.What would your choice of cms be ? its like crossing a minefield to chose the right one, with all the hype out there its hard to sort out whats is good. I have found out in life, just because something is popular or more people use it does not make it the best or easiest to use.What I would like is a CMS that is easy to use, can be designed to be used as I want, that also lets me design the backend how it should be in my mind.probably does not exist. I only know html and css to any extent.If I have to learn another code what would you suggest, I only coming up to my first year (July) in web building, It is fun though :D:D wish i started this when I was younger.
Personally find that Wordpress is the easiest CMS but it may not meet your requirement. Wordpress is actually a blog-style of CMS. There are multiple plugins you can have in Wordpress even a shopping cart application.
If you have php coding knowledge, you can alter the scripts and make it outstanding site.
Everyone has his/her favorite, so it's a tricky question to answer objectively. A lot of people love WordPress, but as pinkypainter says, it's really for blogs and has to be hacked around a bit for other uses. Then you need to mess with server-side code, and it can get messy.
In my view, the best CMS on the market is ExpressionEngine, but it's not free. However, it's a very nice system, and does not impose anything on your templates, so you build them from scratch, with familiar HTML and CSS, which is great. A somewhat similar, free alternative is MODx, but I still think EE is the clear winner, so I've basically pulled the chain on the rest.
The only other one I use, for small sites that just need some simple content management, is Perch, which also is a beautifully designed, unobtrusive CMS. You build your site as you wish, with PHP includes etc, and use Perch to make certain sections of pages editable. Very elegant and simple to use.
[Now await the inevitable posts from others that contradict everything I've said!]
Hi PinkypainterHi Ralph
Thank you for your posts to date, You have been helpful.
I did look at WP but not what I was looking for......I am one of those people who know what they want when they see it, even when I am inexperienced in cms's.
while I have been talking to you guys, I have also been looking and trying out other cms's
Yes ralph, I would like to have EE2, I tried it and loved it, you are right it's the bees knees, but the costs don't justify the use and I have to find a cheaper commercial package or OSCMS.I have download MODx, had a play with it, not sure, will keep it on my short list.I have downloaded another cms that I am trying out and it works for me, still learning to use it as it should be used, I am having good results with it so far simple and easy to use and I seem to be in sync with it:lol:time will tell:DAs you said ralph, in your post:-[Now await the inevitable posts from others that contradict everything I've said!]Personally I don't contradict what people do or use, its like...some people like PCs others like MACs they both do the same job, but differentlyI see it as what works for me.......
btw. I am trying out TEXTPATTERN:D
That one looked quite complex to me, but I'd love to know how you find it.
I will let you know my findings on this one
I've been where you are and after carefully considering what cms are out there I chose elxis. It gives me a wide enough range of extensions, css templating features, and allows me to integrate specialized programs for clients.
Wow.... How did I miss this conversation. Lots of good stuff in here and great advice from ralph.m. As usual, I found myself nodding my head in agreement as I was reading along.
Tony, if I can add something I'd recommend getting a quickstart guide or introductory book on any of the CMS's you are looking to pursue. CMS's like Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Expression Engine, etc... have a lot of hidden power but they have a "way" that they work best and when you understand the Expression Engine, Drupal, WordPress or TextPattern "Way" of doing things, everything falls into place and things work much better.
BTW: Some great gallery photos in the Comfort 600 Series gallery
Hi PeterB
I did look at Elxis, but for some reason or another it just did not click with me,but thank you for your tip, just could not believe how many CMS packages are out there, :rolleyes:
Hi Awasson
As to you suggesting additional reading, I am ploughing my way through 500+ pages of "Textpattern Solutions" as we speak. uuugh :goof:glad someone likes the images of the 600 series, thats One thing I am changing is the gallery, I will be replacing it with a supadupa one thats the bees knees, (I hope) "Sorl" Is my first site, and I have been playing with it on my virtual server learning new ways to do the same thing with different coding withih CSS, JQuery and (PHP - a Little) now I want to revamp the whole site to bring it up to current commercial visual design standards or my interpretation of how it should be within my industry. :rofl:
I've been working with and testing out a lot of cms's over the last few years and now only work with one: websitebaker. You don't hear too much about it and in my opinion it's very underrated. It's so easy to learn - you can just use your normal html page, insert a few tags where you would like to have editable areas and save it in a template folder and you're pretty much done.
The great thing is that there's hardly any learning curve to get started - in the beginning the above is just what I did - my menus where just static links in the template which works fine but then I started exploring the menu functions which are fenomenal. And you can copy useful bits out of a host of ready made templates.
Plenty of nice add ons such as image galleries etc, an active, friendly forum community and all this for free! Check it out; I now turn down work if I can't build it with websitebaker, that's how much I like it (and how much I resist having to learn another CMS!).
Here's some sites built using WB so you get an idea of what's possible.
All the best,
Wow..... thank you guys for this great thread about CMS.
sparkdigitalI just looked at websitebaker. Do you have experience with using an existing static html webpage and forming a template around it? The designer guide shows an example of a template which I would have to dig into and tweak until I know that nothing will work anymore.
Sincerely Ollie

Welcome to this online memorial the Newill Family has created in loving memory of Dad...Bill...Daddy Bill. Please sign Bill's guest book and let us know you came to visit. Stop by often as the site will continue to grow with pictures and memories surrounding Bill's life.
Many have mentioned what a remarkable man Bill was based on what they read in his obituary. That was just the tip of the iceberg of the diversity of Bill's accomplishments.
Bill believed in the importance of 'family. ' And he instilled that in each of his children and on into the lives of his grandchildren. He was a staunch supporter of all our endeavors - even when he might not of been sure we knew we were biting off a bit more than we could chew. Knowing he believed in us often made the difference in how successful we ended up being in those endeavors.
He was a natural born teacher and we all benefited from the opportunity to 'help' him fix something. Radios, lawn mowers, cars, sump pumps, washing machines, dishwashers, electrical fixtures, etc - there really wasn't anything he couldn't fix. All of us can say we are more adept at fixing things within our own households because of lessons learned from Dad.
He taught us to ride a bike and later to drive a car. He taught us to shoot a 22 rifle, and an arrow into a target; to drive a golf ball and slam a tennis ball. He advised us on our finances and saving plans as we became young adults. He cheered us on as we graduated from various levels of degrees (always believing in the importance of education in our lives).
And he, along with Mom, was always ready to learn something new...taking an EMT class in order to be a better Red Cross First Aid/CPR instructor...studying Robert's Rules of Order and becoming a registered Parliamentarian...sharing his administrative and leadership skills with various organizations both professional and hobby related.
He was an example to us all and we are proud when we hear, "you are just like your father."
Dad, we miss you - and will forever cherish our memories of you.
David, Ted & Barbara

The scientist–practitioner model, also called the Boulder model[1], is a training model for graduate programs that focuses on training psychologists with a foundation of research and scientific practice. It was developed primarily to train clinical psychologist members of the American Psychological Association but has been adapted by other specialty programs. According to this model, a psychologist should be trained to be a scientist and a competent researcher, and also a practitioner who applies knowledge and techniques to solve problems of clients.[2]
The model was created at the Boulder Conference on Graduate Education in Clinical Psychology (1949) held in Boulder, Colorado. The conference aimed to develop a system of training and education leading to professional practice in which Clinical Psychologists adhere to scientific methods, procedures, and research in their day-to-day practice. Francine Shapiro says that these psychologists are applied scientists. [citation needed] The goal of the training, educational model, and eventual practice is for clinicians to use scientific methodology in their practice-decision; clients using scientifically valid methods, tools, and techniques; to inform their clients of scientifically based findings and approaches to their problems; and to conduct practice-based research.
Core tenetsEdit
Core tenets of the scientist–practitioner model include:[3]
- Delivering psychological assessment (psychological testing) and psychological intervention procedures in accordance with scientifically based protocols;
- Accessing and integrating scientific findings to inform healthcare decisions;
- Framing and testing hypotheses that inform healthcare decisions;
- Building and maintaining effective teamwork with other healthcare professionals that supports the delivery of scientist–practitioner contributions;
- Research-based training and support to other health professions in the delivery of psychological care;
- Contributing to practice-based research and development to improve the quality and effectiveness of psychological aspects of health care.
Some have questioned if is possible, in today's climate, to continue to expect practicing clinical psychologists to be able to adhere to the ideals and tenets of the scientist–practitioner model. Many clinicians find it difficult to complete their practical duties let alone conduct research (which often goes unfunded) or to remain up-to-date with cutting edge science.
Those clinical psychologists who do adhere to a scientist-practitioner model of practice are likely to utilize techniques that have been scientifically validated through extensive research, or treatments that are empirically supported as effective. [4] It is widely accepted, for example, that cognitive–behavioral therapy is effective in treating a host of mental illnesses.
In 1989 William O'Donohue proposes an even bolder model the clinical psychologist as [[metaphysician-scientist-practioner model proposes an even bolder model the clinical psychologist as [[metaphysician-scientist-practioner model[5]

December has arrived and so too has the Santas on the Run event in Helston.
The final countdown is on for Children's Hospice South West's fun festive fundraiser that takes place at RNAS Culdrose this Sunday, December 9.
Hundreds of Santas will take to the runway to walk, jog or run the 2km route and raise funds to support their local children's hospice Little Harbour at St Austell.
Mary Murfin, local community fundraiser for Little Harbour, said: "This is the first time such an event has been held at RNAS Culdrose and is a unique opportunity to join a host of other Santas for a jaunt around the home of the Royal Navy's Merlin helicopters.
"What a sight it will be to see hundreds of Santas painting the airbase red and white. Mums, dads, children, toddlers, grannies and grandads can all take part, so why not get your family, friends, or work colleagues together and join us for a belly-full of laughs and seasonal jolliness?"
Everyone taking part in the Santas on the Run event will receive their very own Santa suit to run in and a medal on completion of the run.
Registration starts at 10am, at the public viewing area cafe, where the participants will get suited and booted as they are kept entertained with festive music by the CuldRoses Miltary Wives and Royal Naval Volunteer Band.
The Santas will then be gathered at 11.45am for a warm up by Helen Tite of Falmouth's The Core.
At midday it will be "on your marks, set, ho ho ho" as the Santas start the 2km circular run, jog or walk.
Registration costs £10 for adults, £5 for under 16s and is free for under threes, with a family ticket of two adults and two children costing £25. Children under the age of 16 must have parental consent and be accompanied by an adult who is also running.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MEG1990 from Absolutely amazing! I have been to lots of music events and I have to say that Bastille is one of my favourites so far! I even looked the day after to see if we could go again!! Their music is so good and very addictive! The atmosphere was amazing and there didn't seem to be anyone pushing or acting like idiots!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Smarshall87 from My daughter's first gig. I have been looking for someone to take my daughter to for a while now and found that we all (me, my mum and my daughter) all love bastille. The closest thing to a Complaint was under 14s had to be in the seated area. We still all were up and dancing, loving it. I now have a 9 year old that is hooked and can't wait for the next party.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarah M from Amazing voice & band, always a great show!! Bastille are an amazing band with a unique sound. Dan (Lead Singer) has an immense voice and presence and together they put on such a great show. The songs sound exactly the same as they do when listening to the album which is rare! Only criticism would be I prefer them in smaller venues that are more intimate for this style of music but they are too popular for that!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Keeg from Best night of my life I went with my sister and it was the best night of my life! I've been to see many bands but Bastille never disappoint! An absolutely amazing night, every song was sung flawlessly and the atmosphere was brilliant. Bastille always put on an amazing performance but the Wild World Tour was by far the best!

Life with the next door occupant
By Subdivisions
from Hampshire, United Kingdom
First, I would mention that I work from home, so I have absolutely no need to dress-up for the same. I live in T-shirts & jeans - there's no-one to impress, & that's the beauty of such apparel. I have an extensive collection, &, quite simply, they bring pleasure to (me), the wearer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Well priced, fun T-shirt
By SharonSale
from London UK
Bought as a gift for my husband. I originally bought a larger size as one of the reviews suggested the sizing was a little small. However we didn't find this at all and returned the original and replaced it with his regular size which fitted perfectly.
Love the caption... Not the fit
By Disappointed Star Wars Geek
from Jacksonville, FL
Shirt looks great... Only problem is the large should be labeled as a medium. I ordered multiple adult large shirts that fit right. This fit was snug before the first washing. Had to pass it down to my teenaged son. He was thrilled... Me? Not so much :(
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

George and his wife have four children aged between five and 10 years-old. George is a laborer who is unable to work regularly. Both he and his wife were caught in the cross fire during the Sri Lankan civil war and were wounded. They are both still suffering and are unable to work and support their children sufficiently through education.
While they were displaced from their village, the family got separated from each other until they were reunited at a rehabilitation camp. They then returned home in 2010 to find their house was damaged and the land was barren.
They were temporarily housed and suffering until the Lebara Foundation provided them with a permanent house in the Lebara Village. It's now their focus to provide their children with the best education possible.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Conditions of admission of third-country nationals for the purposes of studies, pupil exchange, unremunerated training or voluntary service
This Directive is to harmonise national legislation relating to the conditions of admission of third-country nationals for the purposes of studies, pupil exchange, unremunerated training or voluntary service.
Council Directive 2004/114/EC of 13 December 2004 on the conditions of admission of third-country nationals for the purposes of studies, pupil exchange, unremunerated training or voluntary service.
One of the objectives of the European Union (EU) in the field of education is to promote Europe as a world centre of excellence for studies and vocational training. Promoting the mobility of third-country nationals to the EU for the purpose of studies is a key factor in that strategy, which aims to approximate the Member States' national legislation on conditions of entry and residence.
This Directive determines the rules concerning the procedures for admitting third country nationals to the territory of the Member States, for a period exceeding three months for the purposes of studies, pupil exchange, unremunerated training or voluntary service.
It distinguishes four categories of third-country nationals:
- students;
- school-pupils;
- unremunerated trainees;
- voluntary workers (volunteers).
Certain categories of people are excluded from the scope of the Directive:
- asylum-seekers and persons enjoying subsidiary forms of protection or temporary protection schemes;
- third-country nationals who are family members of Union citizens, since they indirectly benefit from the right to free movement;
- third-country nationals who enjoy long-term resident status in a Member State in accordance with Council Directive 2003/109/EC which gives them a right to reside in another Member State in order to study or receive vocational training.
Admission conditions
The Directive establishes binding rules for admitting students who are nationals of third countries, leaving it up to Member States to decide whether or not to apply its provisions to school pupils, volunteers and unremunerated trainees.
The conditions for admitting third-country nationals for the purpose of study are as follows:
- the applicant must have been accepted by an establishment of higher education;
- the applicant must have sufficient resources to cover his/her subsistence, study and return travel costs;
- the applicant must have sufficient knowledge of the language of the course to be followed (a flexible condition left to the discretion of the Member States);
- prior payment of the fees charged by the establishment (a flexible condition left to the discretion of the Member States).
As regards the admission of a third-country national already admitted as a student in another Member State, the Directive establishes a right to be admitted to another Member State where he wishes to pursue his studies. To ensure that third-country nationals do not abuse their student status by excessively prolonging their stay in the European Union, the additional course of study must be adequately related to the studies already completed.
For third country nationals who are secondary school pupils, the proposal covers only organised mobility through exchange schemes managed by specialised organisations. The following conditions apply:
- age limits are set by the Member State concerned;
- the exchange organisation must be recognised by the Member State concerned;
- the exchange organisation must accept responsibility for subsistence, study, healthcare and return travel costs;
- the admission document depends on the choice of host family. The Member State retains some room for manoeuvre to reserve exchanges for third countries that offers exchange possibilities for its own school pupils.
The Directive determines the following conditions for admitting third-country nationals for the purposes of unremunerated traineeships:
- the applicant must have sufficient resources to cover his/her subsistence, training and return travel costs;
- if the Member State so requires, the applicant must receive basic language training so as to acquire the knowledge needed for the purposes of the placement.
Third-country nationals in the category of unremunerated trainees or volunteers who are considered, by virtue of their activities or the kind of compensation or remuneration received, as workers under national legislation are not covered by this Directive.
The Directive provides for the following conditions where a third-country national applies to be admitted to a voluntary service scheme:
- age limits are set by the Member State concerned;
- an agreement giving a description of tasks, the conditions in which the volunteer is supervised in the performance of those tasks, the working hours, and the resources available to cover travel, subsistence and accommodation costs throughout the stay;
- the organisation responsible for the voluntary service scheme must accept responsibility for the volunteer's activities and for subsistence, healthcare and return travel costs;
- the volunteer must, if the host Member State specifically requires it, receive a basic introduction to the language, history and political and social structures of that Member State.
Validity and renewal of residence permits
The period of validity of residence permits varies according to the category:
- students: period of at least one year renewable if the holder continues to meet the conditions. Where the duration of the course of study is less than one year, the permit is valid for the duration of the course;
- school pupils: no more than one year;
- unremunerated trainees: the duration of the placement is for a maximum of one year. In exceptional cases, it may be renewed, once only and exclusively for such time as is needed to acquire a vocational qualification recognised by a Member State;
- volunteers: no more than one year. In exceptional cases, if the duration of the relevant programme is longer than one year, the duration of the validity of the residence permit may correspond to the period concerned.
Rights of third-country nationals
The Directive provides that students shall be entitled to be employed and may be entitled to exercise self-employed economic activity. But access to economic activities for the first year of residence may be restricted by the host Member State.
Procedure and transparency
A decision on an application to obtain or renew a residence permit is subject to the following rules of transparency:
- a decision on a residence permit must be adopted, and the applicant must be notified of it, within a period that does not hamper the pursuit of the relevant studies, whilst leaving the competent authorities sufficient time to process the application;
- if the information supplied in support of the application is inadequate, processing of the application may be suspended and the competent authorities must inform the applicant of any further information they need;
- any decision rejecting an application for a residence permit must be notified to the third-country national concerned. The notification must specify the possible redress procedures available;
- where an application is rejected or a residence permit issued in accordance with this Directive is withdrawn, the person concerned shall have the right to mount a legal challenge before the authorities of the Member State concerned.
The Directive provides for an agreement on a fast-track procedure for issuing residence permits or visas to students and school pupils between the authority of a Member State with responsibility for the entry and residence of third-country nationals and an establishment of higher education or an organisation operating pupil exchange schemes.
Entry into force
Deadline for transposition in the Member States
Official Journal
Directive 2004/114/CE
OJ L 375 of 23.12.2004
Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, pupil exchange, remunerated and unremunerated training, voluntary service and au pairing [RECAST] ( COM(2013) 0151 final - 2013/0081 (COD)) [Not published in the Official Journal].
The reports on implementing Directive 2004/114/EC and Directive 2005/71/EC revealed that the existing rules were not clear or binding enough or coherent with the EU's existing funding programmes or with the aims of the Europe 2020 strategy. As a result, the Commission proposed a text aimed at addressing the shortcomings of the previous Directives, at the same time extending its scope to include remunerated trainees and au-pairs. The proposal would also make the rules introduced for pupils and volunteers binding.
Apart from extending the scope, the Commission notably proposes the following:
- improvements to admission conditions (an applicant who satisfies all the admission conditions must be granted a residence permit or long-stay visa), rights (including those related to intra-EU mobility) and procedural guarantees;
- the right to look for a job after completing studies or a research project.

Amino acids release water molecules as they combine chemically to form proteins. According to this behavior, known as the Le Chatelier's principle, it is not possible for a reaction that gives off water (a so-called condensation reaction) to take place in an environment containing water. (See Le Chatelier's Principle, the.) Therefore, the oceans—where evolutionists say that life began—are definitely unlikely, unsuitable places for amino acids to combine and produce proteins.
Given this "water problem" that so demolished all their theories, evolutionists began to construct new scenarios. Sydney Fox, the best-known of these researchers, came up with an interesting theory to resolve the difficulty. He theorized that immediately after the first amino acids had formed in the primitive ocean, they must have been splashed onto the rocks by the side of a volcano. The water in the mixture containing the amino acids must then have evaporated due to the high temperature in the rocks. In this way, amino acids could have distilled and combined—to give rise to proteins.
But his complicated account pleased nobody. Amino acids could not have exhibited a resistance to heat of the kind that Fox proposed. Research clearly showed that amino acids were destroyed at higher temperatures. Even so, Fox refused to abandon his claim.
Under the influence of Miller's scenario, Stanley Fox combined certain amino acids to form the molecules above, which he called proteinoids. However, these useless amino acid chains had nothing to do with the real proteins that make up living organisms. In fact, all his endeavors confirmed that life cannot be created in the laboratory, let alone come into being by chance.
He combined purified amino acids by heating them in a dry environment in the laboratory under very special conditions. The amino acids were duly combined, but he still obtained no proteins. . What he did obtain were simple, disordered amino-acid sequences, bound to one another in a random manner, that were far from resembling the proteins of any living thing. Moreover, had Fox kept the amino acids at the same temperature, the useless links that did emerge would have immediately broken down again.183
Another point that makes his experiment meaningless is that Fox used pure amino acids from living organisms, rather than those obtained in the Miller Experiment. In fact, however, the experiment, claimed to be an extension of the Miller Experiment, should have continued from the conclusion of that experiment. Yet neither Fox nor any other researcher used the useless amino acids that Miller produced.184
This experiment of Fox's was not received all that positively by evolutionist circles because it was obvious that the amino acid chains (proteinoids) he obtained were not only meaningless, but could not have emerged under natural conditions. In addition, proteins—the building blocks of life—had still not been obtained. The problem of proteins had still not been solved.
Sydney Fox and the other researchers managed to unite the amino acids in the shape of "proteinoids" by using very special heating techniques under conditions which in fact did not exist at all in the primordial stages of Earth. Also, they are not at all similar to the very regular proteins present in living things. They are nothing but useless, irregular chemical stains. It was explained that even if such molecules had formed in the early ages, they would definitely be destroyed.185
The proteinoids that Fox obtained were certainly far from being true proteins in terms of structure and function. There were as different from proteins as a complex technological device is from a heap of scrap metal.
Furthermore, these irregular collections of amino acids had no chance of surviving in the primitive atmosphere. Under the conditions of that time, destructive chemical and physical effects produced by the intense ultraviolet rays reaching the Earth and by uncontrolled natural conditions would have broken down these proteinoids and made it impossible for them to survive. Because of the Le Chatelier's principle, there can be no question of these amino acids being underwater where ultraviolet rays could not reach them. In the light of all these facts, the idea that proteinoid molecules represented the beginning of life increasingly lost all credibility among scientists.

Fla. court clerk denounces red light cameras
Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 9:00 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Pinellas County clerk of courts is urging local cities to stop issuing traffic citations from red light cameras until flaws are worked out.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that in a letter sent Friday to mayors and city officials in six Pinellas County cities, Circuit Court Clerk Ken Burke said the state law authorizing the cameras has created an unfair process for citizens.
Burke outlined eight issues, including the way drivers receive the citations, the way fines are increased if not paid on time and how tickets are issued to the vehicle owner. He points out there's no way to challenge the ticket until after the fine rises for not being paid on time.
He blames legislators for quickly passing the laws implementing use of the cameras.
