TAMPA, Fla. – In a game with a number of confusing moments in the final minutes, the No. 21 Saint Leo men's basketball team dropped a 69-65 decision to the University of Tampa in Sunshine State Conference action on Wednesday night from the Martinez Athletic Center.
A game which neither team controlled saw Saint Leo take the slimmest of leads in the last 90 seconds of the game. Holding possession, the Lions (11-3, 3-1 SSC) fed the ball to a wide open Shaun Adams under the basket with 1:09 on the clock. Going up for the lay-in, Adams looked to be fouled from behind but no whistle sounded and the ball bounced off his foot and rolled out of bounds.
The resulting two Tampa (13-3, 1-3 SSC) possessions saw the Spartans erase a 53-49 lead, including a layup with five seconds left to send the game into overtime.
In the extra session the Spartans dropped in some clutch shots and made most of their free throw attempts to earn the win.
Despite the loss, Trent Thomas led the Lions with 23 points including a clutch three-pointer with less than 30 seconds left in regulation to give Saint Leo a lead that seemed to solidify a win. Marcus Ruh was the only other player in double-figures for the Lions as he dropped in 19 points.
Tampa kept the ball moving and it showed in the final stats as four Spartans reached double-figures with Da'Markco Foster dropping in a team-leading 16 points.
The Lions will look to rebound from their first loss in nine games when they return to the Bowman Center on Saturday afternoon to face Florida Tech. Tip-off against the Panthers is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

This is called a light verb construction and they're not uncommon. Korean and Japanese, for instance, make extensive use of them.
Tikolm wrote:About the "English cypher" issue -- there's nothing whatever wrong with creating a language that's this obviously based on English, but some people can be real purists and will shoot down this type of project because it's not "creative" enough. This may or may not be true, and opinions vary, but it's usually best not to come right out and say "your language is nothing but an English cypher with deliberately obtuse spelling" or anything along those lines. If someone wants to create an English cypher, there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, my most developed and favorite conlang (Tikolmian) is nothing but encoded, somewhat spiced up English with a culture of its own.
There's nothing wrong with it, but there's also nothing wrong with holding would-be conlangers to a higher standard. Calling such a project a "conlang" trivialises the hard work of those who have built up substantial new languages of their own. A cypher-conlang of your native language is the work of half a minute. Let me demonstrate: Çes es meï neü konlaġ. Ônt ʒy emprist? Ʒy ¢od bï! Eï spiant ă huul menet-n-ă-hof on't!

• troll •
Pronunciation: trol • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To fish by pulling a line through the water. 2. To try to lure or incite someone by passing something where they can see it. 3. (Obsolete) To sing in the manner of a round or simply merrily.
Notes: We have reduced the 14 meanings of today's Good Word to the three central ones in the Oxford English Dictionary. Most of this word's meanings are obsolete, like No. 3 above, and as you can see from the three we selected, they are quite disparate.
In Play: About the only time you will hear the third meaning of this word is when you (or someone else) is singing the Christmas carol, Deck the Halls:
"Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la la la la la."
Otherwise, you will hear it used in its second meaning: "Hackers troll the Internet looking for computers they can crack into."
Word History: Today's Good Word's origin is as mysterious as the disparity of its meanings. It can be traced back only as far as two Old French words, troller "to go hunting" and trôler "to meander, wander about". The latter may have originated in Germanic trollen "to roll", but the two later merged and finally disappeared from most dialects. You can see how the senses of the French words might be related to the first two meanings of today's word, but where the third meaning came from is anybody's guess. The verb has no relation to the noun troll, which was borrowed from Norwegian. (Let us all troll a melody of Yuletide thanksgiving to Peggy Nielsen for suggesting this elderly member of the English vocabulary for today's Good Word.)

CLEVELAND -- The Browns' coaching search -- or is it a scramble? -- could be nearing a conclusion.
Team officials interviewed Buffalo defensive coordinator Mike Pettine for the second time on Tuesday night in Mobile, Ala., and although the sides did not reach a deal during their four-hour meeting, the 47-year-old has emerged as the front-runner to become Cleveland's seventh full-time coach.
Pettine, who spent one season with the Bills after four on Rex Ryan's staff with the New York Jets, told Cleveland.com that he "should have some feedback on my interview by the end of the day."
A person familiar with the Browns' plans told the AP late Tuesday night that the team intended to interview an unknown candidate on Wednesday. The club was expected to meet with Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter at some point.
Pettine is the first candidate known to have a follow-up interview with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, CEO Joe Banner, general manager Michael Lombardi and team president Alec Scheiner.
The team initially met with Pettine on Jan. 16, and following the interview, Pettine's teenage daughter, Megan, tweeted that her dad was going to meet again with the team while taking a not-so-subtle shot at the Browns.
"It's the browns," she posted on a Twitter account since deleted. "But hey, still pretty cool!"
The Browns, who fired Rob Chudzinski on Dec. 29 following one season, are also expected to conduct a second interview with Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. He was the first candidate to meet with the team and the director of the NFL's top-rated defense could sit down with Cleveland's front office before Sunday.
Because the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, league rules require the Browns to speak with any assistants in that game by Jan. 26. However, the Browns are not permitted to finalize a deal with any assistant coach participating in the Super Bowl until after the game, so Cleveland may have to wait until Feb. 3 if they want to hire Quinn.
It's possible, though, the team could decide Pettine is their choice and can name him their coach at any time.
Last week, Haslam, aware of the public appearance the Browns had no clear plan to find Chudzinski's replacement, sent a letter to fans last week explaining the team's "methodical" approach to finding its next coach.
Despite Haslam's reasoning, it appears the Browns have had to adjust on the fly. The search is in its fourth week. Six other teams entered the offseason with coaching vacancies and all have been filled.
Early favorites in Cleveland's quest to replace Chudzinski dropped quickly. New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Ohio born with a connection to Lombardi, removed himself from consideration. Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase -- another perceived favorite -- did the same, calling Haslam on Tuesday to say he was happy with the Broncos.
Top college coaches like Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, Gus Malzahn and James Franklin emerged as possibilities and disappeared as rapidly as they arrived. Stoops is still with the Sooners, Malzahn stayed at Auburn and Franklin took the Penn State job.
Bill O'Brien, who was on Cleveland's wish list last year, signed with Houston.
There have even been rumors that former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was on Cleveland's radar.
Since the start, Haslam has promised to "take as long as necessary" to find the right coach -- his second in less than two years as owner -- to lead the Browns.
It appears he's finally closing in on one.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - Penn knew going into its match with No. 11 Brown that goals would be at a premium. The 11th-ranked Bears entered the weekend with just seven goals conceded, and Penn could not add an eighth as the Quakers were downed by Brown, 1-0.
Brown gave itself a lead just 3:59 into the match when Ben Maurey finished a quick passing play between Bobby Belair and Kevin Gavey. Moving down the left flank, Gavey funneled the ball to Belair, whose shot was deflected to an open Maurey who one-touched the ball to the top left corner.
The quick deficit did not deter the Quakers, who mounted six shots in the first half. Five of those shots were on target, four from the feet of Duke Lacroix. Penn's striker finished the match with a team-high seven shots, forcing Sam Kernan-Schloss to make five saves.
Max Kurtzman was equally as busy in goal for the Quakers, making eight saves over the course of the match. Six of those saves came in the first 45', providing Penn with a chance to climb back into the game.
In the second half, Penn was on the defensive for the opening portion, denying Brown on six shots – two saved by Kurtzman and four forced high or wide. Lacroix had his final look in the 55', again stopped by Kernan-Schloss. Stephen Baker had a run in the 86', getting a good look which was denied by the keeper. Penn had one final opportunity to tie the match on a corner kick in the final 20 seconds, but Travis Cantrell's serviced was punched away by Kernan-Schloss and time ran out.
The Quakers are scheduled to host Penn State on October 31 at 7 p.m. at Rhodes Field. Please stay tuned to PennAthletics.com for any updates due to the forecasted storm hitting the Philadelphia region early in the week.

They got to me in good shape and very quickly after placing the order. High quality look & feel of the product!"
"Loved the design for the save the dates for my beach destination wedding! The quality was great and I was surprised how great the post card came out.

"I love that I was able to put on my engagement photos and arrange them how I wanted. It added a personal touch to the card, along with going with the nautical theme of our wedding.

When the army and security forces ignored pleas for restraint from Egypt's allies in the US and Europe, moving to crush the Muslim Brotherhood protest camps that spread across Cairo after the July 3 coup d'etat that toppled President Mohamed Morsi, they had reason to feel supremely confident.
What General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his colleagues have done is to restore the security state – an action that should not be confused with re-establishing security.
This restoration is edging towards the status quo ante the Tahrir revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak in 2011. It started before the coup, with the constitution Morsi and the Brothers railroaded through last December. Most of the controversy excited by this Islamist-tinged charter was caused by the way it ignored liberal, Christian and women's concerns over fundamental rights and freedoms. Alarmingly little attention was paid to the way the Brotherhood sought to co-opt the military by embedding the army's privileges and prerogatives even beyond the powers it enjoyed under Mubarak.

This stuff is fabulous. I am 66 yrs, I have plucked, shaved, waxed, dipilatory hair from my face since I was 17, dark black hairs. I've tried electrolysis and even bought my own home laser. As one ages, the hairs become courser and now white bristles. Because I had been using the Derma Doc's age spot remover and it works very well, thought I'd give gorilla warfare I try.
IT WORKS!!! I have used it faithfully morning and night for 3 months and the hair growth is so much less. What's still coming in is not as course. So nice to touch your face or neck and not be running over bristles. If this works on my boar bristles, it should work for anyone.

I am well pleased with Gorilla Warfare. It is easy to use, has no unpleasant side effects, and it works! It is important to know that one must use this on a daily basis and not just from time to time. It is cumulative in its effects. I have bought many jars of this product and have never failed to be pleased with it. It is a little pricey, but I think it is worth it. If you shop at DERMAdoctor often, you get points for purchases that translate into dollars. This is a product that I will always use.

I am 30 years old and have begun to struggle with coarse hairs sprouting on my chin. One day I counted as I plucked for the first time in 5 days and I pulled out 23 of those nasty little things. I hate feeling them and I am shocked when I see them. I had my face waxed 2 days before I received my jar of Gorilla Warfare and it was almost 2 weeks before I had to pluck again! This product is a God-send for me. No female wants whiskers and I am so glad I have something to help me keep them at bay! I've been using this product just over a month now, and I have half a jar left. If you are struggling to control unwanted facial hair, this product is worth every penny.

What more can I say? This product works exactly as described. During oral cancer treatment I started to sprout excessive facial hair, especially on my chin, upper lip and front of my neck.
I'm currently on my 3rd jar and the hair growth has slowed noticeably. I still have to plug a few stubborn hair daily and once every two weeks I use the Bellabe tool to remove regrowth. But what is growing back is thinner, sparse and is coming back at a much slower pace.

I have been using this product for several months now and I must say it has made a change in the hair growth on my face. I have been using hair removal methods and hair minimizing products for almost 30yrs. This product is one of the best, the hair regrowth is so much lighter and in some spots no regrowth at all. After many years and many hours of hair removal, this product makes things a lot easier for me and is well worth the price.

This product really works. I used it every night for several months on my chin and upper lip and I began to see results in 3/4months. The hair growth on my chin and upper lip is now very minimal. I do not need to use the product every night. I still have unwanted hair in these areas but I no longer wake up looking like I need to shave. Sometimes I do a little fine trimming with scissors. I also no longer have a 5 o'clock shadow. The price is high but worth it. I still have my original bottle, which I purchased 6 months ago.

I am on my second jar and can say that I did not notice a difference right away...it takes time. I used Vaniqua for awhile and it is way more expensive and broke me out. I also did not notice any change. Gorilla did not break me out and I have noticed the hair on my face is much less. It is not gone, but the face that it is less is enough for me to keep using it. I hope I can still use it if I become pregnant because I will be so depressed if all the hair comes back, does anyone know if it is safe to use while pregnant??

As a past Vaniqua user, I'll say that Gorilla Warfare is just as good or better. I've almost used a jar for the first time, and hope that it goes on "special" to get my next one. Or if not, will just buy my next jar because it qualities me for free shipping at the regular price.

Mimo Moore; Philosopher Queen
Mimo: "I believe one should strive to separate themselves from life's indulgences to truly understand happiness."
[Our Model Of The Day]
Where She's From: Mimo Moore was born in Queens, New York and raised in both Astoria, Queens, New York also known as "Little Colombia" and Atlanta, Georgia. "I spent a lot of time being on my own, so I mainly learned how to be independent and be a self-starter," she tells The Black Star News.
Mimo took Physician Assistant studies at St. John's University of Jamaica, Queens, in New York. "I'm still in the process of finishing my hospital rotations so I haven't truly started my career yet," she says, "But I started modeling when I was about 18 and started photography about a year later. I'm doing everything that I love, modeling, photographing, working with animals, studying medicine, and being a mom!"
Where She's At: "I originally had my mind set on the military," she continues. "I was exposed to a certain lifestyle at a young age and I have a bit of what people call a military mindset. It seems almost contradictory that I study medicine when I grew up dreaming of being a sniper, but it actually can go hand-in-hand. I'm also interested in investing and real estate, so one of my options is being a Physician Assistant of a government organization and using my career as a stepping stone into more investments."
Mimo adds: "In the end, I'd like to retire into working with and for animal welfare, whether it's running my own shelter or being a part of a conservation project."
"I'm most proud of my educational accomplishments," Mimo says. "I've managed to not only be accepted into a very prestigious medical program, but I've made it thus far while being a somewhat single mom. I'll also be the first in my immediate family, and second in the entire family, to complete a college education."
"Professionally, I'm proud of my success as a photographer. I was able to use my experience on one side of the lens as a model, to my benefit on the other side as a photographer," she adds.
"I believe mind over matter applies a lot in our lives, and it certainly applies here. But I don't agree with the popular saying that beauty fades over time," Mimo says. "You were either beautiful to begin with, had the potential to be beautiful, or were never beautiful at all. To me, the most beautiful people are the ones that can keep you smiling without even trying."
Mimo has a different philosophy when it comes to brand names and some of the other hyped-up things in the fashion industry. "I'm really not into any of those things," she says. "I believe one should strive to separate themselves from life's indulgences to truly understand happiness. That includes adornment like clothes and jewelry; sex, unless for procreation or to express emotion; food, since you can live just fine without the caviar, and of course alcohol, recreational drugs, and anything else that harms the body. I didn't really have much money growing up and I can still be perfectly content without it."
She adds, "And to let you in on a little secret, I hate wearing makeup. Might it be a coincidence that my mother is a makeup artist?"
Mimo's Words Of Wisdom: "Answer only what was asked of you, speak only when spoken to."
Mimo's Secrets Of Success: "Don't blindly follow, question everything, seek knowledge, and try to be the best at everything you do. Figure out what it is that you really want. Don't mind what everyone else thinks is great, do what you feel is great."
Mimo's Favorite Books: "Flowers for Algernon, Where the Red Fern Grows, Kite Runner, The Da Vinci Code and Life of Pai."
Three Leaders That Have Inspired Mimo: "I'm wary of dubbing anyone an inspiration. Humans are human, and I wouldn't idolize a human. Although there are many influential people of the past and present, none of them are perfect."
Mimo's Favorite Entertainers: "Don Omar's Angelito Vuela and for the moment, Romeo's Noche de Sexo. For English and American music I'll listen to whatever, Big Pun, Cuban Link, DMX, Bone Thugs n Harmony to name a few."
Mimo's Five Favorite Websites: "www.mimomoore.com, www.mimomoore.com/forum, www.babiesrus.com, www.drsfosternsmith.com, www.facebook.com."

El Temps, weekly news magazine published in Catalan since 1984, devoted a section to a news item about the theory of evolution on its edition dated February 13th, 2007. In that section it was noted that Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation challenged the theory of evolution and continued as follows:
A few weeks ago, hundreds of scientists and professors in universities and high schools of France received a 770-page pictorial glossy book, which marked Creation from the Islamic point of view. The book written under the nick name Harun Yahya belongs to the Turkish creationist who writes books the most. The article relates Darwinism to fascism and communism; blames the evolutionists for the 9/11 ideological attack.

Learn about the criteria you must meet to have this weight-loss surgery.
Gastric bypass surgery is the most common type of weight-loss surgery. Gastric bypass and other types of weight-loss surgery, collectively known as bariatric surgery, make surgical changes to your stomach and digestive system that limit how much food you can eat and how many nutrients you absorb, leading to weight loss.
While that may sound appealing, gastric bypass surgery isn't for everyone. Like any major procedure, it has significant health risks and side effects. In addition, the long-term success of gastric bypass surgery depends on your ability to make permanent changes in your lifestyle. When you want to be considered for gastric bypass surgery, you must undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if it's suitable for your situation.
Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are major, life-changing procedures. While weight-loss surgery can help reduce your risk of weight-related health problems — such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea — it can also pose major risks and complications. You may need to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. You likely will have an extensive screening process to see if you qualify.
In general, gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgery could be an option for you if:
In some cases, you may qualify for certain types of weight-loss surgery if your BMI is 30 to 34 and you have serious weight-related health problems.
Even if you meet these general guidelines, you still may need to meet certain other medical guidelines to qualify for weight-loss surgery. You likely will have an extensive screening process to see if you qualify.
A team of health professionals — usually including a doctor, dietitian, psychologist and surgeon — evaluate whether gastric bypass or one of the other forms of weight-loss surgery is appropriate for you. This evaluation generally determines if the health benefits of the surgery outweigh the potentially serious risks. The evaluation also determines if you're psychologically and medically ready to undergo the procedure.
When conducting an evaluation for gastric bypass surgery, the health team considers:

I've designated myself as a BC fan because in the NFL I also root for the Lions
Great, I hope this catches on
edit: and I share your curiosity with why CFL hasn't caught on here, it's still football with a few rule tweaks from what we're used to, and played at a time when no other football is on.
As for the popularity in the us I think a lot of it has to do with sports snobery (I guess thats the best way to put it). It happens with all the sports, people start to think that if its not the superstars then its not good football/basketball/baseball/hockey. But sometimes its more entertaining and a very high quality.

I couldn't agree more with the snobery comment
A lot of us Americas overlook the sport for the simple fact that it's "Canadian", which is so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin lol, but sadly that's just how it is around here. , ESPN doesn't even show the scores on the bottom line

And the Lions get better with Elimimian back from the NFL. Tough defence just got better.
Reilly looks like he is very accurate with his throwing and has a really good arm on top of that. Maybe the Lions will take a trade in the offseason of Buck and Terence Edwards for him and either one of their middle linebackers (Bighill or Elimimbian). If only.
I think he is on Ottawa's radar.
He may be on their radar but there is more then a year before they could go for him.
Drew Willy will probably get their interest as well. But you are right, lots can happen in a year. Bombers may want 1 of them!
60th season logo vote.
I think I'm partial to #3, and I swear the Lion is laughing in #5 lol.
Also, any idea why two of the logos say 1953-2013 but #2 says 1954-2013?

I'm having a fairly simple problem which I think can be solved, but I'd like to know if there is a more efficient solution.
When building a website on my personal computer, I use WAMP and the direct path name involves something with "localhost".
However, when I upload those same files to my virtual host, the direct path names that I had set for images, links, etc. no longer work because the direct path name is not the same. In short, the direct path name depends on the host, in which they are different between my personal computer and the virtual host.
My solution is to assign the full direct path name to a PHP string, and then set that PHP string to everything that needs a direct path name. I will also have to change the direct path name every time between testing on my personal computer and uploading the files to the Internet.
While it's certainly doable, is there a more efficient solution to this problem? I'd be greatly appreciative. Thanks!
Ah my apologies:
absolute addressing from the web root, for the CSS files, no matter from which catalog it being called
Yes, I see your point, and I did that with my CSS files. However, again we run into the same problem.
If your web root changes (you switch from localhost to virtual host), must you change ALL the absolute image/link/etc. paths?
Right. I asked him how to solve the CSS problem. He said and you agree with using the / for document root, which I get.
But the document root changes, meaning the / is not the same for both hosts, meaning that I must change the CSS paths (eg. absolute paths image files in home.css) each time I upload my files to the virtual host.
Or so I think.
The document root is always just simply /. There is no such thing as "/home/apache/..." or "C:/apache/htdocs" to the browser. Have you actually tried the code? Because I don't see why it wouldn't work if you did try it.
You know, I did a while back when I ran into this problem, but a lot of things have changed since then, so I think it would be wise to do that.
If I have more problems, I'll surely be back.
I spent whole page trying to explain it to hash
Then you came in, and said:
Using dirname(FILE) is much nicer in my opinion.
But you failed to provide a code that utilizes this language construct in this topic's context.
Okay, I'll try once more.
I hope we all going to agree that use of absolute path is very handy. Because one can use the same piece of code, no matter where it called.For the virtual server it's just full path from the virtual server root.As I can see, we all share same opinion: using absolute path for the virtual server is very good.
Example:Say we have 2 pages,/templates/users/short.php and/super/long/path/from/virtual/root/long.phpalso we have a picture,/image/pic.jpgand if we use absolute path to address this picture, like this:<img src="/image/pic.jpg">it work like a charm in both long.php and short.php because the path is absolute. And we all agree it is good. (I hope)
Now we move to the filesystem. Here is our apple of discord.I assume, one may want to have the same "master key", same magic wand as we have in the virtual server. Same absolute path thing, which give us one piece of code to be used everywhere. No matter where it called and where it moved afterwards.The thing the OP, I hope, were asking for.
Same exampleSame old 2 pages,/templates/users/short.php and/super/long/path/from/virtual/root/long.phpbut now we want to include a file, say /includes/page.php
Here is the problem:What code we have to use in both long.php and short.php to include /includes/page.php?How can we utilize absolute path thing in this case?Is there a universal code to include your global config.php?
Is this explanation exact enough?
Sure, use relative paths instead of absolute.
I'd say absolute path is obligatory.But it is very important not to mess URL and path.
So, the best way to handle site paths is to use not URL but path only, absolute one."/images/pic.jpg" would be all right on any server.
On the other hand, there is a problem with filesystem paths which, in it's turn, shouldn't be confused with site paths.
Surely this exactly what the <base href=""> element is for?
Another solution is to run a DNS server on your own PC, like Posadis so you can have top level domains on your own pc.
For example you can create a dev.mywebsite.com on your own PC and www.mywebsite.com on the hosted domain. The path's don't change then.
Of course you also need apache virtual hosting on your own PC when you this.
I've got this set up on my own PC, and it works like a charm
...or you can just edit the hosts file and achieve exactly the same thing
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts - edit with notepad (you need to run notepad as Administrator if on W7 or Vista) and add a line for sub.domain.com or whatever, and the ip address it points to.
All my dev projects happen in subfolders anyway, so my projects are coded to account for this, and allow it to be placed in a subfolder, rather than assuming it will always be run from a top level domain.
Another solution is to run a DNS server
is not a solution but nonsense
Perhaps there is no simple way to do this?
Relative path names would not work because if I'm using PHP-includes, the same header.php would be included in different pages (of different subdirectories).
I'm hoping for a solution regarding an absolute file path.
For example, my host's directory is similar to:/home1/username/public_html/website/(then my folder)
My local directory is simply:/wamp/www/(my website folder)
My solution as of now is to simply assign "home1/username/public_html/website/" to a PHP string like $direct_path_name, and then change it to $direct_path_name = "/wamp/www/" when working on the localhost.
I believe this way will work, it just seems repetitive and inefficient.
For html /images/whatever/stuff.jpg is always going to work.For php you need either a root to start paths with, or relative paths from the current working directory to where you want to go. If it's only for includes then you can just set the include path and be done.
To set the path you can either know where you are (eg front controller is always in web root) and build from there, or you can put a marker file in the root and look for it to determine where you are.
$root = dirname(__FILE__);
// /home/~user~/www on one server
// /var/public_html on another
include $root.'/includes/file.php'; //always works
hash, that was precisely what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
Care to elaborate why you think this is nonsense?I've got it set up here with a wildcard TLD and mass virtual hosting. I can just create a folder "myproject" en my DNS server and Apache's mass virtual hosting automatically allow me to acess that project through http://myproject/So I have a top level domain and I can use absolute paths for images etc, as I would on http://www.myproject.com/
Why not just code it so it can work anywhere, rather than making the assumption it will always be on a top level domain?
Going to have to agree with Stormrider on this, if the customer can change their mind, they will.
You'll deploy their application to i-love-bacon.com and before you know it, they've changed their domain name to i-love-ham.com and your app blows up.
Code for change, it's the only thing you can depend on.
I make the assumption the websites I make will run on a TLD bacause out of the 50 or so projects I did so far only 2 of them didn't (so about 4%).It's a good thing to take into account that things change, but if you want to take into account every "what if" you're making things more complicated than they could be.In the cases the website is not run on a TLD I know this beforehand and then of course I take this into account.Anthony, which domain the website runs on is no issue, I could put it on any TLD I like without any changes to code.
I have a similar problem now:
All of my CSS files (because they are included in different sublevel pages) use absolute path names. Since I can't use $root and PHP in these CSS files, and using relative path names is impossible, is there any solution for this?
Do all websites that have 2 or 3 sublevel directories have this problem (when testing between the local machine and host)? I feel like I am doing something very wrong.
Edit::This is a small portion of header.php, which is included into many different files on different sublevels of directories.
<?php $root = dirname(__FILE__); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $root ?>/styles/ie7.css" />
My problem here lies in that if this page is included on every page of different subdirectory levels, the $root will change depending on where that FILE is located. Therefore, the code will break on certain subdirectories.
At least, I think so. I'd really appreciate any strategies to overcome the CSS difficulty and the PHP absolute path including. Thank you!

MIDDLEBURG, Fla. - A Duval County school teacher was among three arrested on drug charges Wednesday evening in Clay County.
Deputies were serving a search warrant at the home of 25-year-old Robert Davis on Calusa Trail about 6 p.m. when two others, James Van Richburg and Emilia Hill, later arrived at the home after Davis' arrest while deputies were still there.
Richburg, 38, is a teacher at James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School. Deputies said he showed up for a drug transaction.
Richburg was charged with possession of a prescription drug without a prescription while armed with a handgun, a .38 caliber Taurus. Deputies said he was also in possession of 2 grams of marijuana, a marijuana grinder and two marijuana pipes.
Richburg is also charged with resisting arrest without violence after deputies said he refused to get out of his car when he pulled up to the home.
"When somebody gets stopped by law enforcement and they identify themselves as such, they need to comply with the orders," said Capt. Barry Abramowitz, of the Clay County Sheriff's Office. "At this point, he didn't comply and he was removed from the vehicle and subsequently arrested."
As for Davis, deputies said he was in possession of two Lortab pills, .6 grams of marijuana, a water bong, syringes and several marijuana pipes.
Davis has 17 prior arrests in Clay County on charges including drug possession, theft and traffic violations.
Deputies said Hill, 20, who went by the name "Babydoll," texted Davis' phone to set up a drug transaction. They said they reviewed the phone and found the text messages. A deputy texted Hill back saying he needed eight pills, and she agreed and said she was on the way to the home. When Hill arrived, she was arrested.
All three were booked into the Clay County jail. Van Richburg was being held with bail set at $31,007.
Duval County schools released a statement saying all district employees arrested for felony offenses are relieved of classroom duties pending the outcome of the investigation.
"If criminal proceedings result in a guilty verdict, a recommendation for termination will be made," spokeswoman Wendy Lehockey wrote. "The above mentioned protocol will be followed for James Van Richburg."
Richburg taught language arts for two and a half years and is currently teaching science at the academic magnet middle school.
Security officers at the school locked the gates at multiple exits when Channel 4 arrived Thursday afternoon, and both students and parents were told not to talk to the media at the school.

|Treasure Trove
Belize's Turneffe Island Lodge offers a bounty of light-tackle and fly-fishing opportunities.
By Capt. Dave Lear — October 2001
It's easy to imagine pirate frigates hidden among the Turneffe Islands. Maybe that's because the mangrove-laden atoll, located 30 miles due east of Belize City, was a favorite hideout of buccaneers. Its close proximity to Caribbean shipping lanes, along with its seemingly impenetrable labyrinth of channels and backbays, made it the perfect spot to count loot, drink rum, and do all those swashbuckling things pirates are infamous for.
I was thinking about pirates and my own upcoming seafaring adventure as we approached the atoll last December by boat. The waning sunlight and fragrant salt air was therapeutic for my fishing buddy, Keith Grimes, and me after our long journey. Once we set foot on the sugar-sand beach of Cayo Bokel, home of Turneffe Island Lodge, all memories of flight delays and missed connections disappeared. We shifted into island time as quickly as it takes to walk the plank.
For the next week we'd be guests at the lodge, the oldest fishing resort on the atoll. Instead of gold doubloons, however, Grimes and I would be after silver--in the form of bonefish, permit, and tarpon. I also planned to sample Turneffe's other bounty, the variety of gamefish available nearby. Despite my weariness from travel, I had trouble falling asleep that night, finally falling under the spell of the gentle rustle of palm fronds outside my cabin window.
The next morning Grimes and I followed Vaughn Cochran, a well-known Key West guide and marine artist, to the docks. Cochran and his wife Jean had taken over as managers of Turneffe's fishing operations just prior to our visit. Their counterparts for the lodge's popular dive charters were Paul Stone and Stacy Babaz, transplanted several months earlier from the South Pacific. Along with their Belizean staff, the four Americans place a strong emphasis on service, as I was soon to discover.
Since the lodge is near the most productive flats, we were able to fish in the morning, then go ashore for a leisurely lunch before venturing out again for the afternoon bite. I was paired with Eddie Gabourel, a knowledgeable guide who's spent the better part of his life exploring and fishing the atoll and nearby reefs. Our mode of travel was a 16-foot Dolphin Super Skiff with a 40-hp tiller outboard.
Once we reached our destination, Gabourel and I poled the skiff or waded across shimmering, crystalline flats with colorful names like Calabash, Deadman's, and Big Flat. On rare occasions we might spot a dive boat in the distance or pass commercial fishermen hand-lining for snapper, but for the most part we were the only human inhabitants on the 35-mile long atoll. (Grimes and his guide were fishing elsewhere.) The flats were far from lifeless, however.

Lloyd Rosen, a retail, wholesaling and brokerage sales veteran, has left retirement and now heads sales for a Miami-based grower-shipper of Central American specialty and ethnic-oriented produce.
On Jan. 15, Rosen joined Doral, Fla.-based Vega Produce LLC as sales manager.
Rosen, who's sold produce for more than 40 years, leads a group of sales people for the company that grows, packs and ships Guatemalan and Honduran vegetables, including snow peas and sugar snap beans, tropicals and Asian and east Indian ethnic specialties.
Founded in 2009, Vega recently moved into a 45,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse close to Miami International Airport, Rosen said.
"This position fits me like a beautiful suit of clothing that doesn't need any alterations," Rosen said. "With the company's ethnic lines, we are customizing our approach to take care of all cultures and all backgrounds."
Rosen was director of produce for Miami-based Associated Grocers of Florida during the 1970s, was a Tampa, Fla.-based vice president in charge of Chilean fruit for the Vancouver, B.C.-based The Oppenheimer Group, and ran his own brokerage in Davie, Fla., before working as vice president and business development manager for William Manis Co. Produce Marketing in Plant City, Fla., for nine years.
He was also a lead salesman with the Tampa-based Tobi Co. Inc. brokerage and worked as business development director for M&M Farms Inc., Miami.
Rosen's father, Sam Rosen, was a partner in a company that was an original tenant at the Hunts Point Terminal Market in New York after the old Washington Market in Manhattan moved to the Bronx. Lloyd Rosen's son, Barry Rosen, is manager of southeast vegetables for Eden Prairie, Minn.-based C.H. Robinson Worldwide Inc., in Miramar, Fla.

Child recovering after found face down in pool in Lauderhhill
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 9:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 9:21 a.m.
LAUDERHILL — A toddler is in critical condition after family members found the boy floating in a pool.
Lauderhill police said the 1½-year-old boy was playing with his siblings and three adults inside his home Monday night when he opened a sliding glass door and fell into the pool.
Authorities said the child's sister found the boy floating face down in the pool unresponsive. It's unclear how long he'd been there. The child's grandfather administered CPR.
Police said the toddler is in intensive care but has a strong heartbeat and is breathing on his own.
Authorities said they don't expect to file charges in the case, but noted the home didn't have an alarm on the door leading to the pool deck or a safety fence around the pool.

Topic: Special Xmas Poem
It's that time of year for my special "Christmas" poem. Teddy & I send our Best Wishes to you all:
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away the tear,
For I am spending Christmas up with our God this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring,
It's far beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So, be happy for me dear ones you know I hold you near,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas up with God this year.
I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories that have been told.
Please love and keep each other as we've been taught to do,
I can't count the blessings of love God has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,

LONDON, Ohio (AP) -- A Madison County judge has sentenced a drunk driver who laughed after killing a husband and wife to 16 years without parole.
Common Pleas Judge Robert Nichols imposed the maximum sentence on 32-year-old Timothy Ackley, of London, Friday. Ackley pleaded guilty in the deaths of 56-year-old Mark Williams and 51-year-old Jo Ann Williams of West Jefferson.
The couple was nearing home by motorcycle April 7 when Ackley crossed the center line in his pickup truck and struck them.
Prosecutors said Ackley was callous when he laughed about going to jail after seeing their bodies under his car.
The Columbus Dispatch reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/TRxApA ) that Ackley had a nearly 20-year criminal record including seven felonies.
Mark Williams' sister told WBNS-TV he was the third brother she's lost to a drunk driver.

Adam Lanza left behind a trail of death and destruction, but little else. His motives, and his life, remain largely a mystery. In collaboration with The Hartford Courant, FRONTLINE looks for answers to the central, and so far elusive question: who was Adam Lanza?More >

Comments about PBS FRONTLINE: Raising Adam Lanza DVD:
The story of Adam Lanza is still unfolding and while the overall quality of this segment on Frontline was not up to its standards, it was informative.
I excpet that Frontline is still investigating and will incorporate much of this story into a larger more in-depth documentary. In short, I would recommend this Frontline program with the codicil, to be continued.
Let us hope it will NOT be continued due to another brutal incident.
Comments about PBS FRONTLINE: Raising Adam Lanza DVD:
Long, boring and poor organization.

The Texas Eagle pulled into Tucson mid-morning, nearly 21/2 hours behind schedule. It meant that I had missed the morning museum tour I signed up for. But on the upside, it was no longer too early to check into my hotel. Perversely, I was a bit pleased at the delay because it meant I had enjoyed a few more hours of sunshine to watch the desert roll by before reaching my destination.
Such thinking is typical of veteran Amtrak riders like me, who know that timetables are a fantasy. I've traveled on long-haul Amtrak trains for 30 years and I could count the number of on-time arrivals on one finger. Staff attitudes undoubtedly will range from cheerful "what-me-worry" resignation to downright surly. Toilets or latches or whole engines will be broken on the 1970s-built rolling stock. Arbitrary rules ("No breakfast served in rooms until after the dining car closes") will suddenly appear.
I could have flown from Los Angeles to Tucson in about 90 minutes. In the first 90 minutes on the Sunset Limited, we got about as far as Pomona. On more than a few occasions, the train would travel at the pace of a jogger, or speed up so that only most of the cars on the highway were passing us. Not infrequently it came to a dead stop. Part of it was rail repairs. But as every Amtrak staffer can tell you – echoed by veteran passengers – the main culprit for delays is the requirement that Amtrak's passenger trains cede track priority to the freight trains. The rails are still owned by the same companies that abandoned passengers to the feds almost a half century ago. Failure is built into the system.
I travel often enough outside the country to know it doesn't have to be this way. It took 111/2 hours to go the approximately 550 miles from Los Angeles to Tucson. The fastest bullet train in Japan, called the Nozomi, covers a comparable distance between Tokyo and Hiroshima in a little more than four hours. In Europe, rail has bound together the continent as never before. New train stations like Berlin Hauptbahnhof, a glass and steel beauty that opened in 2006, show that rail is a 21st-century option. Grand railway stations like St. Pancras International in London and Gare de Lyon in Paris have been renovated and revitalized, while great train stations (besides Grand Central Terminal) in the United States are abandoned, underutilized, turned into shopping malls and hotels, or bulldozed away.
The high-speed trains that link Europe have erased the need for all but a handful of the overnight trains. But when I did take an overnight train from Rome to Paris last month, it was the antithesis of Amtrak. The train departed and arrived on schedule. When the heater in the dining car broke down in the Alps, all the staff threw on heavy winter coats and pitched in to retrieve the coffee maker and toasters, jerry-rigging a makeshift cafe in a car attendant's cabin. They served breakfast to every passenger in their room, all the while effusively apologizing. To do anything else would have been unthinkable. I was amazed – even more so by some of my fellow passengers who sniffed that the breakdown was "so Italian" and never would have happened on Swiss or German railways.
But this is not Europe or Japan. Quality long-haul rail service is in the distant past (and perhaps distant future). I am just old enough to remember when going by rail to Arizona meant taking the Southern Pacific, with white-gloved porters and cooks in the dining car in white smocks and chef hats making pancakes on a grill. I rode Santa Fe's great Super Chief from Los Angeles to Chicago.
But by the mid-1960s, Americans had abandoned rail for the Interstate or airlines in all but a few spots, like the Northeast Corridor. The railroads threatened to end passenger rail service altogether, forcing the U.S. government to create Amtrak. There's the occasional short-haul success story like the Pacific Surfliner that runs mainly from Santa Barbara to San Diego. But that is the exception. Amtrak remains a target of congressional budget cutters nearly every year, though it also has powerful allies, particularly in the rural states where air service is a rarity. It says something that Amtrak supporters were celebrating at the end of last year: The rail service's 2012 operating loss was "just" $361 million – the lowest since 1975.
Amtrak knows that romance of the rails is still a selling point. It has kept the names of the great trains (and added a few) – Southwest Chief, Empire Builder, California Zephyr, Capitol Limited, City of New Orleans, Lake Shore Limited, Silver Meteor – all the while stripping away most of the romance once you are on board. My train was both the Texas Eagle and the Sunset Limited, the routes splitting off after San Antonio with some cars going the Texas Eagle route north through Texas to Chicago, while the rest headed off to the Sunset Limited's end of the line in New Orleans.
The names are still important drawing points. What was once a vital way of travel is today pretty much a combination land cruise/bus-on-rails meant for those who have the time to put up with the delays of the trains and indifference of staff. I am probably more forgiving than most toward the ingrained grumpiness of Amtrak cabin staff – it has to be hard to tell your customers every day that their train is hours late or that there are no bathrooms working in their car and they have to go up two cars to find one in order.
Still, we rail fans ride Amtrak. I was with the "land cruise" contingent, who sign up for private compartments. And it is popular. My Sunday night train this month was sold out for sleeping cars. Part of the reason is financial. The basic one-way fare for my journey was $74. But for a while, Amtrak was selling the basic two-person Superliner sleeper option for $94. So together, that's about the price of a one-way ticket to Tucson by air. I was too slow in pulling the trigger and paid $100 more. Yet I saw just before departure that the final rooms were going for $297 per night. At "All aboard," there were no vacancies left.
The "bus on rails" is the coach section. Many budget travelers and families buy coach seats, sitting upright all night, lovers cuddled up together and families flopped across each other – small children often using Mom and Dad as a bed. Others read, watch video on their portable devices or play cards. On my recent trip, a few talked too loudly and drank too much. The compartments come with a shower area. In coach, well, it's a long way from Los Angeles to Chicago without a shower. When I went to the dome car to watch the sunrise and then to the cafe car to get some coffee, I found many of the couches and booths were taken by sleeping passengers who had abandoned the sometimes noisy coach area to try to find a quieter spot where they could stretch out.
But despite the many drawbacks, there is still something wonderful about lying in a train sleeper and looking out the window at the full moon glistening off the metal of the engine as it negotiates a looping curve. I love waking up and pulling back the curtains to the pink of dawn. I had fallen asleep amid the graffiti, barbed wire and warehouses of the backside of San Bernardino that flanked the train tracks. I woke up to cattle, blue skies and endless desert around Maricopa.
Though I was very late on my slow night train to Tucson, there was a side of me that would have been happy to have stayed aboard and put up with the hassles all the way to Fort Worth or even up to the end of the line, running past St. Louis and into Chicago. America's trains aren't what they used to be. But outside the window, the view of America is still well worth the price and hassle.

While Ugandan Olympic representative Paskar Owor from Belgrave Harriers ran away with the Perserverance 10km road race on Sunday, it was runners from the organising club Hercules Wimbledon who dominated the event filling five of the top nine places.
Owor took early control of the race and had a clear lead as the runners emerged from Wimbledon Park for the first time.
He increased his lead as he strode past the All England tennis club in Church Road. and had a half-a-minute lead half-way round the opening lap as he raced down the slope in Home Park Road.
Owor continued to stride away to take the honours in 33 minutes, 39 seconds, three seconds faster than his winning time in 2011 and well clear of his rivals.
Hercules Wimbledon's Jonathan Cornish, a student at Roehampton University, took second place in 35.02 with clubmate Phil Glynn in third 36 seconds later.
Sean Crummy and Alex Urban, who both ran in April's Virgin London marathon, were sixth and seventh in 37.59 and 38.45 with Peter Collins first veteran to finish in ninth place in 39.48.
Top over-60 veteran Peter Giles beat all the over-50 veterans to finish 14th in 41.09.
Birthday boy Tom Edge made history by becoming the youngest ever runner to take part in the event. Edge celebrated his 15th birthday on the Sunday which, under UK Athletics rules, made him eligible to compete over the distance. He finished 28th in 44.13.
Thames Hare & Hounds' Pippa Major was first woman finisher in 42.46 with Hercules Wimbledon's over-45 veteran Alison Purnell third in 46.40.
Elsewhere, Hercules Wimbledon's Fred Slemeck was first British finisher in the Basingstoke half-marathon on Sunday. He was second out of 1,310 runners in one hour, 14.16 behind Kenyan winner Andrew Lesuuda.
Running double the distance, Tom Cheetham was fifth and third veteran over-45 in the Isle of Wight marathon in 3:12.46.
Stewart Bond was fractionally faster in clocking 3:11.49 in finishing 168th out of more than 4000 runners in the Chester marathon.
Hercules Wimbledon runners took the men's and women's honours in the Richmond Park parkrun on Saturday.
Teenager Alex Lloyd-Jones headed the 279-strong field home in 17.11 to post the top age-graded performance and slice eight seconds off his previous best set in winning the event the previous weekend.
Over-45 veteran Francesca Clarke was just three seconds outside her best time in winning the women's event in 20.55.
Hercules Wimbledon's Ruth Clifton was also top woman finisher in the Wimbledon Common parkrun on Saturday where she was 12th in a record 397-strong field, clocking clocked 18.47.
First Hercules Wimbledon finisher was Alexie Calvert-Ansari who was fourth in 17.45. James Eden was eighth in 18.25 ahead of Andrew Davies (ninth in 18.36).
Teenager Matthew Gibbons, who was 16th in 19.13, won the Merton mini-marathon trial with Daniel Haigh (33rd in 20.11) runner-up in the trial race.
Charles Hampden-Smith was 28th and third veteran-over 50 in 20.00.
Matt Sharp was runner-up in the Dulwich parkrun in 16:28 with Rob Tuer eighth in 17:01. Further afield, Alex Abrahams was 20th out of 121 runners in the Princes Park parkrun in Liverpool in 21:19.
Coming up
This weekend, a large contingent of Hercules Wimbledon runners are in action in the Surrey Veterans cross country championships in Richmond Park on Saturday.
The women's 6km race starts at 2.30pm with the men's 10km event due off at 3pm. The races start and finish near the Pembroke Lodge car park.
A little distance away, other Hercules Wimbledon runners will be in action in an inter-club match starting and finishing at the Sheen crossroads near Sheen Gate.

Four bills that would improve the lives of LGBT Texans were heard by the House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee on Tuesday. The Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the state House of Representatives on bills that effect the Texas Penal Code. The first step in that process is to hold a public hearing. Any member of the public may testify for, or against, a bill during the hearing.
The first bill, House Bill 1909 by Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, amends the state's law against "indecency with a child" to provide LGBT teens with the same protections as straight teens. Currently, the law contains a provisions that allows consensual sexual contact between a person under the age of 17 and a person who is no more than three years older. Dubbed the "Romeo and Juliet" rule, the exception recognizes that teenagers engage in sexual behavior with their boyfriends/girlfriends and that prosecuting "heavy petting" by high school sweethearts serves no purpose.
However, there's a catch! When the Romeo and Juliet rule was created in 1973, "homosexual conduct" was still an enforceable crime in Texas. The authors of the exception were very careful that it only apply to couples "of the opposite sex." Coleman's bill removes the opposite sex requirement to give "Juliet & Juliet" the same protections as their straight contemporaries. Dennis Coleman, executive director of Equality Texas, testified in favor of the bill. There was no opposition.
Next, the committee heard House Bill 2227, also by Coleman. Texas law allows prosecutors to seek tougher sentences for crimes committed due to the perpetrator's bias against people with specific attributes, including "race, color, disability, religion, national origin or ancestry, age, gender, or sexual preference." HB 2227 would add "gender identity and expression" to that list.

SAG Awards Fashion Face-Off! Love It or Hate It: Lea Michele, Zoe Saldana and More!
Once again, we fight to the finish over who looked fab and who should have stayed off the red carpet at the SAG Awards.
-April Daniels Hussar and PJ Gach
First of all, narrowing down the best dressed of the SAG Awards wasn't an easy feat. Too many fabulous looking women in too many fabulous gowns. Then there were the (un)lucky few that started a style-feud between us. Normally we agree on who would have looked better if PJ's dog had styled them, but, just like with the Golden Globes, we came to a style-standoff on a handful of lovelies.
So once again dear Bettys, we present you with our picks of "Oh my gawd, must steal this" and "Are you crazy? I wouldn't wear that for free even if I could fit into it, which I couldn't, ever!" It's up to you to tell us who was your favorite and who just plain looked awful on the red carpet.
Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji
PJ: I just think she looks regal. The Tadashi Shoji gown fits her beautifully, love the Judith Leiber clutch (hey Octavia, can I borrow?), the hair, the makeup…to me she looks regal, sexy and comfy. Every time I see her on the red carpet, she looks better and better.
April: Agree that it's a great fit, but so BLAND! I swooned over her DGA gown in vivid turquoise. This one is too oatmealy for moi.
Michelle Williams in Valentino
PJ: Thank god she left the headband at home! I love the contrast of the brilliant red of her Valentino gown against the creaminess of her complexion. The dress fits her beautifully and makes her look like a dream. The only thing I'd change would have been her shoes: I'd prefer either a metallic or nude sandal to offset that beautifully crafted dress.
Read Angelina Jolie, Viola Davis and More: Best or Worst Dressed at the SAG Awards?
April: B-O-R-I-N-G! Bleh. Meh!
Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture
April: Hmm. I saw another photo where she looked better. I bet this is something that looked gorgeous in person. I just love how different it is. Also I think I love it because it reminds me of Downton Abbey.
PJ: Big whoop that she's wearing Givenchy Couture, Zoe looks older than Betty White in this getup. Tres unflattering. Or as I like to say, "bleccch!"
Lea Michele
PJ: Could she hike the slit up any higher? Oh "Hi world, I've got 'easy access.'" Yeesh, how insecure is Lea anyway? She looks like a shorter, cheaper, sleazier version of Charlize Theron's dream of a gown from the Golden Globes. One deep breath and her girls are gonna play peek-a-boo.
April: You are so evil! She looks gorgeous! Love the bandage-style top and the ethereal bottom, lvoe her enviable hair, want to steal all her accessories. Why does everyone love to hate Lea?
Kristin Wiig
PJ: She may be a funny lady, but this outfit is funnier (or just sadder) than she is. The color is so wrong for her and she's wearing some sort of anti-barking device on her throat.
April: Hahahaha. No fair, making me laugh. I love the dress — it's super flattering on her body — but I cannot tell a lie: I do not love the choker.
Shailene Woodley
April: Gorgeous! Bright, bold and flattering. I want to steal this dress.
PJ: My big question is — will she ever wear something that looks good on her? The dress looks like a stretched-out tank top. And the colors, oh gawd, just looks awful on her. I swear I saw that print as a wallpaper swatch when I was a kid.
Tell us: Who was wrong and who was right in her picks for the night?
PJ Gach is Senior Editor: Style + Beauty at BettyConfidential. She thinks "matchy-matchy" outfits are great only for the two-to-five year old set. April Daniels Hussar is BettyConfidential's executive editor and would just like to be invited to an occasion worthy of any of these dresses!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2014 (1096 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba farmers expect to harvest about the same amount of soybeans as last year, but less of almost everything else, the latest farmer survey by Statistics Canada reports.
The survey of 1,580 Manitoba farmers between July 23 and Aug. 4 found while they expect soybean yields to be down 14.6 per cent to 32.1 bushels per acre this year, the number of acres to be harvested should be up by 17.7 per cent to 1.2 million.
"Consequently, soybean production could reach a level similar to the 2013 record of 1.1 million tonnes," the agency said Thursday.
However, with five of the other six crops covered in the survey -- canola, spring wheat, corn for grain, oats and barley -- farmers expect production declines of anywhere from 24 per cent to 41.4 per cent.
That includes an anticipated 27.2 per cent decline for canola, a 33.2 per cent drop for spring wheat, a 38.4 per cent decline for corn for grain, a 24 per cent reduction for oats and a 41.4 per cent drop for barley.
In most cases, the production declines are being blamed on a combination of lower anticipated yields and fewer acres being harvested.
The only crop local farmers think they'll see an increase in production -- a whopping 50.7 per cent -- is sunflower seeds.
And that's due to more than three times as many acres likely to be harvested this year -- 95,000 versus 27,000 in 2013 -- and an expected 7.9 per cent increase in yields, the agency added.
Nationally, Statistics Canada said Canadian farmers expect production to return to more normal levels for wheat, canola and corn for grain after hitting record levels in 2013.
"At the time of the survey, farmers on the Prairies reported excessive rains in late June were likely to affect harvestable area," the agency said.
However, soybean production is expected to climb to another record level -- 5.9 million tonnes versus 5.2 million in 2013 -- due to almost a million more acres of the crop being planted this year, it added.
This year's crop-production estimates will be updated again Oct. 3, Statistics Canada said, with the final numbers to be published on Dec. 4.

AGE UK in Blackburn will now be able to buy some essential equipment thanks to the Lancashire Telegraph.
The charity has been awarded £1,180 by the Gannett Foundation which will be used to provide specialised recliner chairs for the Spring Bank Court Centre at Mill Hill.
The charitable foundation, which is owned by the parent company of the Lancashire Telegraph, supports local projects, organisations and activities in communities across the UK.
Vicky Shepherd, chief executive of Age UK Blackburn and Darwen, said: "The centre helps aound 20 frail elderly people every day and these chairs will make a real difference.
"We are very grateful to the Gannett Foundation for their generosity."
In the past 10 years, the Gannett Foundation has made grants of more than £4 million throughout the country, with many groups in Lancashire benefiting.
Gannett is the owner of Newsquest Media Group which publishes the Lancashire Telegraph and the foundation is its charity arm.
Last year it provided a grant of £10,000 to the Pumping Marvellous char-ity, based in Hapton, which was used to install heart defibrillators in schools.
Ten 'hotspot' schools received the equipment, in areas with a higher than average cardiac arrest rate.
Without the device there is a five per cent survival chance if you suffer a cardiac arrest.
But by combining the shock treatment with CPR this rises to 40 to 50 per cent.
In the past 10 years, the Foundation has made grants in the UK totalling more than £4 million.
