Of all the artists Taiwan has produced, few have achieved the stature of Kuo Hsueh-hu. Over a life that spanned more than a century, this painter loomed large. While still young, he created images that have since come to define an era of Taiwan's history, and though he'd spend his later life far away from Taiwan, memories of the place continued to inform his work. Most stunning of all is the degree to which he was self-taught, taking in the visual culture around him and, with nothing but his talent to rely on, making it his own. Here to discuss the work of Kuo Hsueh-hu is Lin Yu-chun, a former curator at the Taipei Museum of Fine Arts, the home of many of his works.(more)

On July 23, thousands of people filled the streets of Taipei. They had come from temples around Taiwan. They'd been expecting to show up to a protest. The word was that the government was going to ban the burning of incense, a central part of religious life for many people. In the end, it came out that the ban was just an online rumor, and instead, the protesters arrived to a carnival with food vendors, performances, and a parade. There was no incense ban- Taiwan, after all guarantees freedom of religion. But incense and other burnt offerings are causes of government concern. When burnt in large amounts, they are neither good for the environment nor good for public health. What is the role of incense and burnt offerings in religion here? And what can be done to balance the need for well-being with the need for religious freedom? Here to help us tackle these questions is Lin Mao-hsien, an authority of Taiwanese folklore and professor at National Taichung University's Department of Taiwanese Languages and Literature.(more)

For people in Taiwan in the early years of the 20th century, the exciting new world of aviation must have felt like something distant from their lives. The early pioneers of aviation could count pilots of many nationalities among their ranks. But none of them came from Taiwan, an island that had recently been brought under the colonial rule of Japan. Then, a young man from Taichung came along and changed that. This is his story, the story of Taiwan's first pilot.(more)

Nanguan music is music to calm the spirits, to settle down the mind, and to enjoy quietly. It isn't necessarily slow, but it's certainly never played in a rush. Nanguan is a delicate genre of music perfected on China's southeast coast and spread with migration to Taiwan and Southeast Asia. It has associations with refinement, but there's nothing showy about it. It doesn't take an expert to play and it doesn't take an expert to appreciate either.
Wang Xin-xin is the founder of the Xin Xin Nanguan Ensemble. She is one of the best-known Nanguan artists in Taiwan today, working on international collaborations and introducing Nanguan music to audiences around the world. She joins us today to introduce Nanguan to us and to share her thoughts on what it is that makes this music so beautiful.(more)

Episode 11
Eating Tofu
歐福: 老師,昨天我們去吃素食,我點了跟德美一樣的菜。
(Ōu fú: Lǎoshī, zuótiān wǒmen qù chī sùshí, wǒ diǎnle gēn dé měi yí yàng de cài.)
Oufu: Teacher, yesterday we went to eat "su shi". I ordered the same food as Demei.
德美: 可是很奇怪,那裡的服務生,對歐福說的話,好像特別有興趣。
(Dé měi: Kěshì hěn qíguài, nàlǐ de fúwù shēng, duì ōu fú shuō dehuà, hǎoxiàng tèbié yǒu xìngqù.)
Demei: But the strange thing was that the service people there seemed very interested in what Oufu said.
老師: 哦!你們去了哪裡? 吃了什麼?
(Lǎoshī: Ó! Nǐmen qùle nǎlǐ? Chīle shénme?)
Teacher: Oh? Where did you go? What did you eat?
歐福: 一家小小的素食餐廳。
(Ōu fú: Yījiā xiǎo xiǎo de sùshí cāntīng.)
Oufu: It was a tiny "su shi"restaurant.
老師: 速食? 哪個「速」?速度的速還是沒有肉的素食?
(Lǎoshī: Sùshí? Nǎge 'sù'? Sùdù de sù háishì méiyǒu ròu de sù shí?)
Teacher: Su shi? Which "su"? The "su" in "speed", or a meatless "su shi"?
德美: 有些菜看起來,像是豬肉、雞肉、魚,可是都是豆腐做的。
(Dé měi: Yǒuxiē cài kàn qǐlái, xiàng shì zhūròu, jīròu, yú, kěshì dōu shì dòufu zuò de.)
Demei: Some of the food looked like pork, chicken, or fish, but it was all made from soybean curd.
歐福: 做的跟真的一樣,好吃,可是不是真的肉。
(Ōu fú: Zuò de gēn zhēn de yí yàng, hào chī, kěshì búshì zhēn de ròu.)
Oufu: It looked like "the real thing", but it wasn't really meat.
老師: 我知道!那你跟服務生說了什麼?
(Lǎoshī: Wǒ zhīdào! Nà nǐ gēn fúwù shēng shuōle shénme?)
Teacher: Oh, I know. Then, what did you say to the waitresses?
歐福: 德美先點了菜,我就說:我要吃跟她一樣的豆腐,我很喜歡吃新鮮的豆腐。
(Ōu fú: Dé měi xiān diǎnle cài, wǒ jiù shuō: Wǒ yào chī gēn tā yí yàng de dòufu, wǒ hěn xǐhuān chī xīnxiān de dòufu.)
Oufu: Demei ordered first, so I said I wanted to eat the same as her tofu. I just love eating fresh tofu.
德美: 那兩位服務生就一直笑,我們吃了十幾分鐘的飯了,她們還在偷偷地笑。
(Dé měi: Nà liǎng wèi fúwù shēng jiù yīzhí xiào, wǒmen chīle shí jǐ fēnzhōng de fànle, tāmen hái zài tōutōu de xiào.)
Demei: The two waitresses just kept laughing. ven after we'd been eating for ten minutes, they were still giggling!
歐福: 吃得很不舒服。
Ōu fú: Chī de hěn bù shūfú.
(Oufu: It made eating there very unpleasant.)
老師: 哈哈!那是佔女孩子便宜的意思!
(Lǎoshī: Hāhā! Nà shì zhàn nǚ háizi piányí de yìsi!)
Teacher: Ha ha! "To eat someone's tofu" means "To take advantage of women."
歐福: 我沒有我沒有!
(Ōu fú: Wǒ méiyǒu wǒ méiyǒu!)
Oufu: No way! Never!
德美: 你別緊張,看你臉紅得跟蘋果一樣。老師,您說的是真的嗎?
(Dé měi: Nǐ bié jǐnzhāng, kàn nǐ liǎnhóng dé gēn píngguǒ yí yàng. Lǎoshī, nín shuō de shì zhēn de ma?)
Demei: Don't get nervous! Look! Your face is as red as an apple! Teacher, what you just said … are you serious?
老師: 嗯!有一種傳說是賣豆腐的年輕小姐,因為常吃豆腐,所以很漂亮。有男人想看漂亮小姐,就常去跟她買豆腐吃。
(Lǎoshī: Ń! Yǒu yīzhǒng chuánshuō shì mài dòufu de niánqīng xiǎojiě, yīn wéi cháng chī dòufu, suǒyǐ hěn piàoliang.)
Teacher: Uh huh. There's an old story about a young woman who sold soybean curd. Because she frequently ate tofu, she was very pretty, and so the guys who wanted to look at her would go to eat her tofu.
歐福: 哎呦!學了這麼久的中文了,還是常常出笑話。
(Ōu fú: Āi you! Xuéle zhème jiǔ de zhōngwénle, háishì chángcháng chū xiàohuà.)
Oufu: Oh no! After studying Chinese this long, and I'm still a laughingstock!

It's said that Taiwan has four famous gardens, each one a masterpiece of late imperial Chinese rule. But one of these is more than just a garden. Here the layers of Taiwan's history collide, all within the space of a leisurely stroll. This is Wu's Garden, a central landmark in the southern city of Tainan and the legacy left behind by one of the city's rich inhabitants. Here to tell us more about Wu's Garden and its history is Yeh Tse-shan, head of Tainan's Cultural Affairs Bureau.(more)

For over 120 years, a parcel of land in downtown Taipei has been set aside for plants. Though the city has grown up around it- schools, luxury apartments, and all- this stretch of green has never been disturbed. Since it was first set aside, this urban garden has grown too, becoming a showcase for exotic plants from around the world, and critically, a refuge for Taiwan's own rare and protected plant species. This is the Taipei Botanical Garden, an open-air maze of paths that stretch beneath trees, around ponds, and past flowers, no matter what the time of year. Here to tell us more about this taste of nature in the city is the botanical garden's Mr. Wu.

(Xiǎowén:Nǐmen de zhōngwén dōu shuō dé hěn hǎo, xué duōjiǔle?)
Xiaowen: You all speak Chinese so well, how long have you been studying it?
(Déměi:Wǒ gēn dé zhōng yīyàng, xuéle yī nián duō.)
Demei: Like Dezhong, I've been studying for over a year.

(Lǎoshī: Kěyǐ shi zhèng xiě jiǎn. Zhèngtǐ zì yěyǒu rén shuō 'fántǐ zì', dōu yīyàng.)

In mid-July 30 years ago, a new era in Taiwan's history began. A movement for democracy won out and decades of martial law came to an end. Autocracy and single-party rule were done away with, and in their place came a flowering of openness and civil rights. It was a big transformation, but not one that happened abruptly. Last week, we heard from Professor Chen Fang-ming, University Chair Professor at National Chengchi University's Graduate Institute of Taiwanese Literature. He told us about the rise of Taiwan's democracy movement in the 1970's and about its supporters' early struggles. Today, he joins us again to take us through to the end of the story, through the 1980's and up to the final milestone in 2000.(more)

At around 36,000 km2, Taiwan is a small place by global standards. It could fit into Scotland twice, the US state of Pennsylvania three times, and the Indian state of Gujarat five times. Underneath this small area, though, is a big variety of rocks, minerals, and even precious stones. "Exquisite Stones of Formosa", a new exhibit at the National Taiwan Museum, seeks to introduce this geological wealth to the public. It also looks at one way in particular all of these stones have enriched Taiwan- by giving Taiwanese artists some fantastic materials to work with. Here to tell us more about the exhibit is museum curator Chen Hsin-chun.(more)

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 8.19.14
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed featuring this Mike Brown rally pic that I'm sure you guys are going to load up with positive affirmation after positive affirmation. There is simply no way this photo will result in a diatribe on race relations ending in a Chicago crime statistic that holds no applicable comparison the incident being discussed. I will be totally shocked if Fish hauls me into his office, takes away my mouse and badge, and lectures me on how the commissioner is going to be up his ass on this one. It simply won't happen.

I recently had the pleasure of providing food for a magazine photo shoot. It so fun getting to play chef and food stylist at the same time. The shoot was designed and furnished by PJ Rude of MilkGlass Rentals , and photographed by Jennifer Skog Photography, a very talented lifestyle and wedding photographer (she also did my homepage/bio photos). PJ is a local vintage enthusiast who rents and designs antiques for parties, weddings, and photoshoots. She was asked by Romantic Homes Magazine to create an entertaining story for their annual Flea Market Decor issue, and I was more than happy to help her vision by providing the food.
The setting was romantic, whimsical, and perfect for an intimate lady's night out under the stars. We set up at an adorable bungalow style home in Pleasanton and the backyard was the perfect backdrop. PJ's vision was to incorporate produce and flowers that were in season and available at our Farmer's Market so I wanted to create dishes that would compliment the decor.
The shoot ended up getting a 6-page spread in the issue (on newstands now!). Here's a little sneak peak at the spread, and a couple of behind the scenes photos. Three of the recipes can already be found on my site (Watermelon Arugula Salad, Spiced Candied Walnuts, Berry Tart with Vanilla Custard) and the Farmer's Market Pizza is a new recipe that utilized my grain-free pizza crust.
The issue will be on new stands until November and can be purchased at any major grocery store or bookstore.

NHL cancels first 2 weeks of regular season
It came as no surprise, but the news still shook hockey circles Thursday: The NHL canceled the first two weeks of the regular season due to the player lockout.
"Right now," Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen said, "this whole thing just stinks. It totally stinks."
The decision marked the third time regular-season games have been lost on commissioner Gary Bettman's watch. The 1994-95 season did not start until January because of a lockout, and the 2004-05 season was lost because of another lockout that resulted in a convincing victory for the league.
Players have been locked out since Sept. 15.
The season was scheduled to begin Oct. 11, and the Penguins were set to open at Consol Energy Center on Oct. 12 against the New York Islanders. With the cancellation of two weeks — through Oct. 24 — 82 games are postponed, including six Penguins contests. It was unclear whether the games would be rescheduled.
"We remain committed to doing everything in our power to forge an agreement that is fair to the players, fair to the teams, and good for our fans," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. "This is not about 'winning' or 'losing' a negotiation. This is about finding a solution that preserves the long-term health and stability of the league and the game. We are committed to getting this done."
The Penguins announced that full refunds for canceled games would be given to season-ticket holders who request one in writing. They also said they still have no plans to lay off employees.
"The decision to cancel the first two weeks of the NHL season is the unilateral choice of the NHL owners," NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr said. "If the owners truly cared about the game and the fans, they would lift the lockout and allow the season to begin on time while negotiations continue. A lockout should be the last resort in bargaining, not the strategy of first resort."
The NHL and NHLPA have talked four days during the lockout's almost three weeks. Only minor issues were discussed during recent meetings, as neither side has been willing to consider the other's proposal.
The biggest divide remains how to distribute revenue.
Players said they aren't interested in losing a second season in eight years.
"We all want to get out there and play," Penguins defenseman Ben Lovejoy said.
No meetings are scheduled between the league and union. There is optimism on each side that an 82-game schedule could still take place should a deal be struck shortly. But games do not appear to be imminent.
"We want to talk. We want to get this done," said right wing Craig Adams, the Penguins' player representative.

Check the bilge from the bedroom? Send an SOS via a 24/7/365 call center? It's easy with today's marine telematics.
By Capt. Bill Pike — March 2003
Telematics. Not the sort of term to stir up a whole lot of enthusiasm in a guy like me. Conservative when it comes to English usage, I pretty much hate buzzwords, catchy phrases du jour, and most other forms of blather that sound important but aren't. So when I was asked to put together a story on what, at the time, seemed like one of the most bombastic buzzwords to hit the marine scene in ten years, I felt just a tad restrained at first. Then I started to doze off. "What is telematics, anyway?" I wondered, just before lapsing into la-la land. Some kind of new cellphone technology? As if we don't have enough on the planet already!
I woke up eventually, of course, a phenomenon that often engenders an attitudinal change on my part, as it did in this case. I tried a little research, then a little more, and ultimately discovered that telematics is compelling stuff--way more interesting than I'd figured. Moreover, telematics technology is on the verge of making major-league contributions to three highly significant areas of the marine realm: vessel safety, onboard security, and owner-assistance underway. And these contributions, in my opinion, rate right up there importance-wise with the invention of the first workable marine VHF radio.
To get a feeling for the how and why of such a stunning development, let's start with a short definition. Telematics is a technology that makes it possible to control or monitor equipment via fixed or wireless communication networks over great distances. Because the implications of this phraseology are a little tough to grasp immediately, let's take a fast, expository side trip into the automotive venue.
Ever heard of OnStar? A hardware/service option available on numerous models of GM cars these days, it uses onboard GPS and wireless technology to provide support to drivers on a 24/7/365 basis. This support includes remote door unlock (in case you're like me and lock your keys in your car now and again just for the heck of it), roadside and accident assistance, stolen-vehicle tracking, and concierge services that run the gamut from driving directions to getting tickets for sold-out events in destination towns and cities. To begin understanding what marine telematic technology is and what it may mean to boaters of the not-so-distant future, it is easiest to think of it as the maritime equivalent of OnStar.

Topic: Grape seed extract
I havent seen Grapeseed extract mentioned before. There is a very strong antioxidant, and recent work shows that in a study with mice a daily 300mg dose was enough to reduce cancer cells. I am giving it to my husband and we havent had any proof it is reducingthe cancer, but it cannot be doing any harm and is worth a try. It is important to get a good quality Grape seed extract some of the Chinese versions are not as potent. The active components are the Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), In the US a good one is Meganatural Gold from Polyphenolics. (I am an chemist but I dont have any tie in with this company).
The antioxidant properties of GSE is much greater than Vitamin C but there is some work which shows that these two can work synergistically together if both are taken.

Cameron Munter, U.S. envoy to Pakistan from 2010-12, says, "Now is not the time to turn away from Pakistan, despite the frustrations of recent years."
In his remarks at Asia Society in New York on Monday, September 19, United States Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron Munter mentioned that a key American priority is to get Pakistani elites to pay their fair share of the tax burden. Of course, one could say that getting American elites to do the same could also count as a key American priority at the moment (for some, at least).

July Issue of TP&W Magazine Explores Why Water Matters in Texas
Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine�s ninth annual water issue is on the newsstand now and is a useful resource to engage readers with current water issues that affect their lives. The issue �Why Water Matters� provides useful background information for reporters on environment, outdoors and region beats, and it features stories that could prompt editorial opinion pieces about water issues in Texas. The full text of the issue is also available on the magazine�s Web site.
Between years of drought and years punctuated with flash floods, Texans� relationship with water reflects both the vital necessity of water and its destructive potential. For nine years, TP&W magazine has examined this relationship in a series of annual issues devoted to pressing water resource issues that face Texans. This includes covering major trends, ways people can conserve water and efforts to plan water use and balance the needs of people, industry, agriculture and the environment.
TP&W magazine Editor Louie Bond said the stories in this issue serve as a reminder to readers that access to clean water is not guaranteed.
�It�s a great reminder that we take water and the accompanying wildlife for granted until something happens,� she said. �It�s a good wake-up call and a call for us to start working before disaster strikes.�
Larry D. Hodge�s story �Blue Dawn� speaks to an issue that affects Texans across the state � water management and responsible water usage. Hodge describes TPWD�s efforts to restore the state�s watersheds and discusses the need for Texans to act as stewards on their land to ensure the ongoing viability of watersheds and availability of clean water.
Of particular interest to readers in Central Texas is Wendee Holtcamp�s �Saving Land, Saving Water,� a story about Texans protecting the Edwards Aquifer recharge zones. Holtcamp details her journey through the land that makes up the Edwards Plateau and recounts the history of how San Antonio residents, and Austin residents through a similar program, have raised money to buy land and have worked to preserve land in the recharge zones that are essential for maintaining water supply in their regions.
Readers in the greater Houston-Galveston and other coastal areas will find valuable information in Carol Flake Chapman�s �High Tide,� a story about the rising sea levels off the Texas coast. Recently, tide gauges have begun to show that sea levels are rising at twice the rate as they did a decade ago. The story details various scientists� analyses regarding the cause of sea-level rise and it describes the steps scientists and the state are taking to protect residents and wildlife from its effects.
This issue also features a story by Mary O. Parker called �Life is but a Stream� about the wildlife that inhabits urban streams behind places such as shopping centers and the effect that urban development has on these waterways. Bond notes these urban creeks are often where children have their first encounters with wildlife.
In addition to informative stories, TP&W magazine�s �Why Water Matters� also features a series of stunning photos that illustrate the vital role water plays in the lives of Texans.
For reporters interested in covering of any of the subjects featured in �Why Water Matters,� TPWD can provide experts who can elaborate on the topics. Complimentary copies of the �Why Water Matters� special magazine issue are also available to news media upon request.
The special magazine issue is part of a broader Texas Parks and Wildlife Department public information initiative begun with the first special water resource magazine issue in July 2002. The initiative also includes video, radio, Web and other components.
The �Why Water Matters� July special issue of TP&W magazine can be found on newsstands across Texas. For more information, visit the TP&W magazine Web site.

Okay "DawnPatrolSUP", thanks a bunch
DP have you ridden a Coil?
Yeah i had 2 - FBF and a longer Round tail quad. I never really clicked with them, I found the rocker on the RT quad a bit excessive. The FBF was better but I was inconsistent on it- 1 wave would go great, the next I would bog. Some guys love em - I didn't. Just my experience.
I stopped getting the ultra-light boards about 4-5 years ago... Turns out, airs etc are much easier with a little more glass. A slightly heavier board translates into more speed. More speed = much easier airs.... If you are surfing sheet glass in california all the time, then yeah, an ultra light glass job will suffice, but as soon as you get into 5-10mph winds, you will lose speed and progression with the ultra lights. You will hang up on the lip more and not have as much torque through your turns... But get the solid glass job, get some speed and do what you need to do. Those ultra light boards get hung up in the wind above the lip too, so if you really are doing airs, your overall trajectory etc will be better off holding a line through wind better. Those ultra light boards almost require slight to heavy onshore wind flow to really stick landing.... in my opinion anyway.

Directed by Jeong Jae-eun (정재은)95min | Release date in South Korea : 2012/03/08
Chung Guyon is a second-generation Korean modern architecture. By implementing the Miracle Library Project for children in six major metropolitan cities nationwide for instance, he confronts and fights society, displaying his indefatigable will to build a better one through architecture. While following the steps he and his pupils take to prepare an exhibition at Ilmin Museum of Art, [Talking Architect] portrays the intersecting paths between architecture and society, architecture and life, and architecture and architecture. The show could be his last following cancer surgery, but Chung still makes an earnest attempt at another cultural revolution: unveiling a place for architectural communication, not simply to set up an exhibition that deals with architecture to be looked at by visitors. The effort is tri-fold: to trace his life, the revelation of his architectural philosophy, and to consider the process of picturing the aspects of a human being facing death. This documentary is as complex as Chungs exhibition and career. In fact Talking Architect evokes sympathy and response in a very retrospective fashion. (LEE Seungmin)

Newspaper man Ronald Alfred Pizzey celebrated turning 100 with a party filled with food, cake and family albums to flick through.
His older brother, 101-year-old retired plumber Leonard George, from Hook, told 60 plus attendees at the Berrylands Hotel bash the secret to a long life was to "Go to bed early each night and never argue with your wife".
Jennifer Shaw, Ron's daughter, said: "You don't expect to be upstaged by your older brother at 100.
"But dad had a big smile and a grin. He has been a party animal. He is in recovery mode now.
"The family was there, relatives, friends from long ago and people that lived next door.
"I think he really enjoyed it. He stood up and thanked everybody for coming."
He was also taken out for a birthday lunch by his late wife's friends as per tradition since her death.
Mr Pizzey was born on March 3, 1914 in Teddington, the second of three sons born to St Leonard's Road Surbiton tailors George and Daisy.
He worked as a motorcycle despatch rider for the Fire Brigade through the Blitz where he met his wife Nancy Smart who was just one of a handful of female riders.
They married in 1948 and set up home in St Leonard's Road before moving to Greenfield Avenue in Surbiton in 1957.
The couple were members of Ajax Sea Scouts and went on to have three children , four grandchildren and one great grandson. Nancy died in 2002.
Mr Pizzey who is an avid Daily Mail reader also worked for the Esher News and Mail, and later the Surrey Comet, as a compositor before his retirement in 1979.
Mrs Shaw said: "As a family you feel such incredible luck that you have him for so long. It is quite special."

OSU's Meyer will 'always be a Gator'
Published: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 6:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 6:39 p.m.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer was asked about the perfect record his former employer is posting.
Florida, where the Buckeyes head coach was in charge 2005-10, is 5-0 and ranked fourth.
Meyer wishes nothing but the best to his old school.
Meyer had been blasted by some for allegedly leaving the cupboard bare for his successor with the Gators, Will Muschamp.
"I don't want to get into all that cupboard is bare (stuff), because that's one man's opinion, and we've got to move on," Meyer said. "I'm very proud of those guys. Love those guys."
Of the Gators' 14-6 win over No. 4 LSU in The Swamp, Meyer added, "Always be a Gator. I keep in touch with some of those players. Great win. Great, tough win against a tough opponent, absolutely."

TROWBRIDGE Cricket Club doesn't want to be hit for six as proposed plans to build a new medical centre on land it uses were submitted to Wiltshire Council.
The proposals would see a new building on land behind Adcroft Surgery, in Prospect Place, incorporating the Bradford Road Medical Centre.
The plans would see the centre in Bradford Road close as the two surgeries merge.
The cricket club is concerned as the building is intended to go on land it uses next to its ground, which it has rented from the NHS for around 50 years.
"We don't want to stand in the way of a better health facility for the people of Trowbridge, but it would be nice if somebody showed an interest in the club and what effect this would have on us," said the club's vice president Colin Poplett. Previously, plans had been proposed to build a primary care centre on the land, known as the hospital field, with the potential closure of Trowbridge Hospital considered.
At the time, Wiltshire Council agreed that a section 106 agreement be put in place, to provide the club with a replacement facility should it lose the field.
The NHS then decided instead to make improvements to the town's hospital, but the club and the council identified space at Clarendon College anyway.
Mr Poplett said the club, council and school continued with investigating plans at the site in case of any future development at the field, requesting £40,000 of the section 106 money from Wilt- shire NHS to start grounding work at Clarendon College.
He said: "If funds had been released two years ago the process would have been 18 months faster. It would take two or three seasons before something at Clarendon would be ready for us to use."
During last Thursday's Trowbridge Area Board Meeting, held at County Hall, doctors from both surgeries discussed plans.
Dr Stephen Locke, of Adcroft Surgery, said: "We will leave a square on the field and whether that is of use to the club I don't know, but we are trying to engage in some kind of mutually agreeable resolution."
He said the surgeries' partners were hoping for planning permission by April and, if it was granted, work could start in the second half of the year with it taking around a year to complete.
The merger would lead to the facilities of both general practices being improved, as well as the addition of an X-ray unit and improved general anaesthetic surgeries.
The club has spoken with the Wiltshire NHS Trust and Wiltshire Council, but wants to meet with representatives from the two surgeries.

So are you sure the pages actually exist? How is the site set up? Are you using a CMS?
All the information is being fetched from the DATABASE and there are all the tables in the database. Yes i am using CMS and it is self made CMS (not joomla or wrodpress).
When you say "everything was working fine", do you mean that those pages were working at some point?

Also when i am running the query in the phpmyadmin it is working fine
Is the link you gave us a link to your web host? Were the pages working in the current location, or have you moved the site (e.g. from your computer to your web host)?
yes the link is of web host and the files are also on web host
every page and its URL will be generated through the Data Base
But did the site ever work on the web host, or just on your own computer?

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Less than a week before Saint Leo University is set to begin its fall semester, head women's volleyball coach Sam Cibrone has announced the addition of four freshmen newcomers to his 2013 roster.
After adding three junior-transfers in early August, Cibrone's seven newcomers brings the total roster size to fifteen.
Hope Lemon
5-9, Outside Hitter, Fr.
Cedar Park, Texas
Cedar Park High School
Originally from Austin, Texas, Lemon attended Cedar Park High School in Cedar Park, Texas. There, she competed under head coach Rebekah Almanza and saw much success. During her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons, she was named to the Dazzling Dozen. In 2012, Lemon was selected to participate in the All-Tournament Westwood Showcase. In addition, she was selected to the All-Tournament Volleyballpalooza in 2012.
Cibrone's Thoughts: Hope is a great 6 rotation outside hitter with a solid jump serve. We think she will compete right away for a starting position as she brings more depth to that position. She was the best hitter on our club team and we feel she can be a solid offensive option for us this year and definitely in the future.
Elizabeth Nizzoli
5-9, Setter, Fr.
Ripon, Calif.
Ripon High School
Hailing from Modesto, California, Nizzoli was a four-year letter-winner at Ripon High School and Ripon, California.
Cibrone's Thoughts: Elizabeth is a setter who has tons of potential. She is very strong with moving the volleyball around. In addition, she plays bigger at the net than expected. We are expecting her to challenge our first team in practice and compete for a position on the court. A setter always has to be ready to play just like a quarterback, as you never know when you are going to be called upon.
Hannah Pietz
5-9, Libero, Fr.
Lago Vista, Texas
Lago Vista High School
Born in Houston, Texas, Pietz was a varsity letter-winner at Lago Vista High School in Lago Vista, Texas. While there, she competed under head coach Debbie Hansen. While in high school, Pietz also played with the Austin Performance club team under coach Mark Herrin.
Cibrone's Thoughts: Hannah has played with Hope on the same club team. She is a very versatile player. In fact, she has played everything from setter, outside hitter, to libero. We are counting on her to improve our passing and defense. She is going to really help our chemistry too.
Jamee Townsend
5-9, Defensive Specialist, Fr.
Thonotosassa, Fla.
Strawberry Crest High School
Originally from Brandon, Florida, Townsend competed at Strawberry Crest High School in Thonotosassa, Florida. While at Strawberry Crest, Townsend played under coach Morgan Miltner. In 2009, she was named to the All-Western Conference Second Team, and was selected to the All-Western Conference First Team in 2010 and 2012. Townsend also competed with the Tampa United Volleyball Academy under coach Brittany Wilson.
Cibrone's Thoughts: Jamee is one of the best student-athletes we have recruited to Saint Leo. I have known her and the family for many years through my club. She loves the game and has worked hard to get back to 100% after her knee injury. She is a great passer and solid defender. She is always a team player and understands the importance of prioritizing volleyball and school.

Biodegradable Plates, Cups & Utensils
No more plastic cups, utensils, or paper plates for you. This recyclable, compostable, and/or biodegradable dinnerware is made from sugar cane fiber, which is a byproduct of the sugar refining process. There is an unlimited supply of this stuff, and it's usually burned to be disposed of so turning it into dinnerware is a much better option. And, they're "they're microwavable, freezer safe, oil resistant, and capable of handling hot or cold foods and beverages." They're super sturdy, strong, and can be 100% recycled to make paper. Make sure to set up recycle bins at your camp. One each for glass, aluminum, paper, and plastic. When you leave Burningman, there are recycling companies that take your sorted recyclables off of your hands. (If they're not sorted, they go in the trash, so be sure to sort!) Then, use these plates and dinnerware, rinse as well as u can, and place in the paper recycle bin. Voila!

Call me Dirty Harry.
In a high-octane school shooting scenario, I apparently would not be a cop to trifle with.
Creeping through the hallways of a school building in which a known gunman is at-large, Mayor Glenn Broska and I held our own in a tense situation -- for the most part.
Ducked into an alcove at a classroom door, a man stood with his back to us and his hands and arms hidden. He did not have a chance to turn around. I shot him.
Or, I would have shot him, had this been real. But no, I was not actually trolling a school building armed. And neither was the mayor.
We were both in police station basement responding to a video of a scenario in which officers must respond appropriately in a potential shooting situation.
The training simulation was brought to Streetsboro Police Department by the Ohio Attorney General's office and offered to Streetsboro Police and about eight officers from the Aurora Police Department, according to Andy Russell, a law enforcement training officer from the attorney general's office.
The video training system, which includes 450 different scenarios each of which includes various options, is designed to train officers to react appropriately in a potential shooting situation. These are not just video shooting galleries, but realistic scenarios officers could find themselves in.
The appropriate thing to do with our school shooting situation was probably to demand to see the man's hands, which were hidden from view and could have been holding a gun or a cell phone.
At another point in the same scenario, a man with an assault rifle slowly heads down a hallway, crossing in front of officers' eyes. He's wearing jeans and black vest, but it's not until you can see the uniformed officers following him that you realize he's a good guy. By the time he's almost crossed the officer's field of vision, you can see the word "Police" in large letters on the back of the vest.
The simulator also can enable a pair of officers to use several tools in a single incident -- flashlights, a can of pepper spray, a TASER and their sidearms, for example.
The system can accommodate up to 16 weapons in a single training scenario.
Experiencing these situations was mostly a matter of reaction for me. I'd never shot a gun before, so just getting used to the feel of the gun was a process. When I pulled the 9 mm Glock's trigger, it included everything one would experience with a loaded weapon except the kick (and the bullet).
The whole experience of shooting in this simulation was pretty interesting. There was certainly an adrenaline rush when I was in the situational simulations, like the school shooting, but I've got to believe being in an actual school shooting I would be even more on edge.
One thing that could make the experience a bit more real is filming a scenario within the community -- at a school, for instance -- so officers can respond utilizing their knowledge of the building, which is something Russell said can be done.
Fortunately, Broska said these types of events don't happen frequently.
"A cop might encounter something like this once in a career, and he has to get it right," he said.
The driving simulation, also offered by the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy, was a bit less high adrenaline, at least for me, but the brake, steering feel and handling of the squad car took some getting used to.
The simulator wraps the driver with video windows on three sides with working side and rear view mirrors, as well as switches for lights and sirens.
Just driving and keeping track of the red sedan I was pursuing was more than enough for me, but Powers said officers usually are driving, communicating with dispatch and operating the lights and sirens all at once. And they have to do it all safely, even in the center of town with its many lanes of traffic and complex intersections.
Law Enforcement Training Officer Bob Richardson said within a given scenario he can program the simulator to include different variables. For Broska, a former fire captain in Twinsburg, Richardson sent one fire ladder truck barreling down the road at the mayor and others heading through an intersection across a red light.
Powers said he hopes to offer the driving simulation at least once a year. There's also a driving training experience which is more focused on evasive maneuvers, which is even more realistic in feel than last week's experience, which focused more on snap decisions in traffic, according to Richardson.
The simulated shooting and driving were fun, but considering the stakes in a real situation where such skills are needed, the training is deadly serious.
One break in protocol during a shooting or incident of tunnel vision during a pursuit can lead to an accident or shooting of an innocent bystander. Given the infrequency of those incidents, the training is a great opportunity for officers to hone their skills during these training experiences.
Let's just hope officers don't have to experience many of these scenarios in the field.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Four women who work at a podiatry clinic in Riverside have been arrested on charges of trafficking in prescription pain pills.
Dana Miller, the office manager, Tracie Hazel, the front desk receptionist, and Debra Coffman, a medical assistant graduate, are employees of Dr. Earl Horowitz at his clinic at 2550 Park St. Heather Gruber is an intern.
They're accused of trafficking hydrocodone, diazepam and Xanax. According to a police report, the doctor did not have knowledge that the employees were trafficking drugs.
"Once investigators began to look into it a little bit closer, and a little bit further they realized this was a scheme that had been going on for quite some time and it's pretty much an elaborate scheme that they had," said Ken Jefferson, Channel 4's Crime Analyst.
Horowitz talked with police and pointed out he rarely prescribes controlled substances, according to the report. Police said Horowitz recognized names on the prescription list as relatives of the suspects and the boyfriend of Miller.
In one year, Miller filled out 55 phony prescriptions for hydrocodone, according to the police report. Twenty-three were filled in Hazel's name, plus five prescriptions in her son's name, according to police.
Investigators said Coffman admitted to picking up an illegal prescription for hydrocodone at Walgreens in Riverside after they got surveillance video of her. Using Florida's prescription data base, investigators were able to charge the women.
"They were able to track it from an office where they obviously thought they would never get caught," said Jefferson.
Gruber told investigators she agreed to give Miller her deceased father's name and her husband's name to fill hydrocodone prescriptions, according to the police report. Gruber said the agreement was that Miller would give her the money and she would pick the hydrocodone pills up and get a few in return, according to the report.
According to the police report, the women used several pharmacies to fill more than 150 fraudulent prescriptions in Horowitz's name.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/3/2013 (1634 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
My good friend (and Montreal Gazette wine columnist) Bill Zacharkiw recently wrote a column where he riffed about the notion of wines with "soul." He grappled with how to explain such a concept, and I think he nailed it in the end -- wines with soul may not be perfect, but they taste like they're from somewhere, like they're made by people who give a damn.
My turn to riff. Many of the most popular wines in our market come from expansive, sprawling growing areas -- wines labelled as simply coming from California or South Australia or Chile's vast Central Valley, for a few examples. They're often some sort of blend -- either one grape variety sourced from various vineyards throughout the region or a blend of different grape varieties from multiple vineyards.
Buy one of these wines 100 times and nearly every bottle will taste the same. As an example, take California's current glut of almost-sweet red blends with eye-catching labels/names. The wine's "formula" -- amount of remaining residual sugar, aging time, percentage of different grapes used, etc. -- can be tweaked from vintage to vintage to ensure remarkable consistency. Bad Merlot crop? Use less, up the Malbec quotient, adjust the sugar a bit and it's you can't really taste the difference.
There's something to be said for consistency. One of the reasons McDonald's is so popular is that you can go anywhere in the world and order a Big Mac, and it'll taste the same as from the McDonald's near your house. It's one of the reasons chains aren't often reviewed by restaurant critics -- what is there to discover? If every Big Mac is the same, where is the soul?
The same can be said of wines from sprawling regions made up of grapes from all over the place. Once you've tasted these wines once, you pretty much know what you're in for every time. When you taste/review a lot of wine (or review restaurants, music, movies or whatever) you crave something that excites you, that jumps from the page or the stereo or the glass or the plate and makes you pay attention -- something with soul.
There's comfort in knowing what you're going to get in your bottle of wine. But digging a bit deeper -- tasting new-to-you grape varieties, delving into wines from unfamiliar producers, or tasting wines from smaller, more specific regions usually results in rewards that far outweigh the risks.
If you like South Australian Chardonnay, try one from the Coonawarra or Adelaide Hills (or Tasmania, if you can find one). If California red blends float your boat, why not give a Zinfandel from Lodi or Sonoma County a spin? Dig Central Valley Merlot? Try a Chilean red from the Limar or Colchagua Valley.
The wines won't be perfect, and they may not even be wines you like right away. But give them a chance and you just might taste a little bit of soul in the bottle.

Robert Oatley 2009 Shiraz (Mudgee, Australia -- 19.99, Liquor Marts and beyond)
Mudgee is a higher-altitude region with a short, sunny growing season in which Shiraz does quite well. Beneath the ripe cherry aromas are spice, menthol, smoke, leather and eucalyptus notes. It's a medium-plus-bodied, elegant Shiraz, with juicy black cherry, raspberry, milk chocolate and eucalyptus flavours working well with peppery spice notes from 16 months in oak barrels. Elegant, smooth and drinkable now, the Robert Oatley Shiraz shows great finesse. 89/100
Cuvée du Vatican 2009 Côtes du Rhône Villages (Côtes du Rhône Villages, France -- around $20, private wine stores)
Made by a solid Ch¢teauneuf-du-Pape producer, this Rh¥ne Valley red blend's blueberry, cherry, mocha, leather and plum aromas are certainly enticing. Rich and chewy, this red delivers blackberry, dried cherry and almost-sweet plum flavours, with light acidity and firm tannins providing great structure. It's a grippy red -- you can feel it on your teeth and gums -- but has big enough fruit to succeed. Try with a big meat dish -- steak, fajitas or even lamb or wild game. Found at Kenaston Wine Market. 89/100
Undurraga 2009 T.H. Syrah (Limar Valley, Chile -- $25.02, Liquor Marts and beyond)
The T.H. here stands for "terroir hunters" and I can see why -- the info on the back label reads like geology, climatology and viticulture textbooks. The nose on the T.H. is quite intense: blackcurrant, iron, mocha, black cherry and spice bring great depth. This is a big, serious red, with brambly black fruit that's almost jammy as well as chocolate, anise and herbal notes. Black pepper and meaty notes reflect some fairly firm tannins; while this is drinking really well now, it needs an hour in the glass (or a few years in the cellar to open up. 1,449 cases made. 91/100

Aqua Dessa White Chocolate Macadamia Butter Scrub
I have one word to say about this product - FABULOUS! If the very mention of White Chocolate AND Macadamia makes your mouth water (as it did mine), then you need look no further that this marvelous (and all natural!) body scrub. First off, the smell of this product is absoulutely incredible - and I could not believe there were actually REAL pieces of White Chocolate in the scrub! (No I did not eat, altough their slogan is "Pure Enough to Eat"). This scrub not only exfoliates but moisturizes. You don't need to apply lotion after using, it moisturizes that well!! There is an oily feel to the scrub on the fingers, but it doesn't feel greasy once you start scrubbing on the body. It's in a plastic tub container, so you must put your fingers in it (this may not appeal to everyone, but when you're putting chocolate on your hands, can it really be all that bad? In addition, the fragrance lingers on the body in a nice and not overpowering way during the day. What I love about the Chocolate fragrance of product is that it's not that artificially sweet fake chocolate that I've experienced in some products. This is now my one and only "MUST HAVE" body scrub. For those of you who lead a organic lifestyle, this is also a great option for body care! I will always repurchase.

What's On Michelle Obama's Workout Playlist?
First Lady Michelle Obama reveals what tunes she likes to work out to. Won't you join her?
-Lucia Peters
Rockin' First Lady Michelle Obama has been working hard to get the nation working out as part of her Let's Move program. And what's the best way to do that? By revealing what tunes get her motivated to break a sweat herself, of course! And those tunes just so happen to be Beyonce's. Who'd have thunk it?
"I always love Beyonce, so anything fast-paced that she's doing is a good one for me," Michelle said in a video responding to questions from Let's Move's online audience, according to People. This makes a certain amount of sense, as the Obamas are known for being big Beyonce fans.
Read The Gal's Guide to a Vegetarian Diet
But that doesn't mean that Beyonce is the only one to work out to. "Listen to whatever you like and whatever is going to get you motivated," Michelle went on to say. "The important thing is that you get up, you try to get that workout in."
Let's Move is a program geared towards solving the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation. A tall order? Perhaps; but hey, maybe if we all get our Beyonce on, it could happen!
Catch Michelle's full video here:

To celebrate pumpkin season, which unofficially lasts from October 1 through Thanksgiving, Cooking Channel staff decided to forgo a carving contest — too messy for the office — in favor of a fun and tasty (and much cleaner) pumpkin dessert bake-off.
The sweet and toasty smell of pumpkin (and pumpkin pie spice) filled the room as we nibbled, evaluated, and voted for our top pick. Organizer extraordinaire Michelle welcomed and encouraged savory entries, but all participants preferred the sweet route. Here's a sampling from the pumpkin dessert buffet.

I tend to keep Ice Storm hotkeyed because even at higher levels it's AoE and damage are quite good, and can tear through whole groups of enemies, assuming they aren't Ice Resistant.
Storm Atronachs seem to be stronger, or at least I notice them dying less frequently. They also have ranged attacks, whereas the Frost Atronachs seem to be limited to melee (or at least I've never noticed them performing ranged attacks). And, as I've said, Frost is the most-resisted element, making the Storm Atronach more consistent in damage output. I can't say how they perform if you have the enhance-atronach perk, but the Frost Atronach could make a better tank due to it slowing enemies who engage it in melee (I believe that the other Atronachs also have innate elemental cloaks).
And as far as I can tell, the "extra damage" from Fire is just a very mild damage over time effect and not, as it implies, an increase in damage dealt to the target. It means that all of the Fire spells could have been made slightly more powerful and not have affected balance in the slightest.
Here's a question regarding the constellations: do they light up in the night sky as you upgrade a skill? I seem to recall hearing that this was the case, but I can't see any difference.

I have been loving going the stealth assassin route. It was a major pain getting started, but now that I have a respectable level of archery and sneak I can go all "Solid Snake" on unsuspecting bandits. Last night as I was raiding a cavern system and stumbled upon a room with three unsuspecting victims. I lined up a stealth shot with my ebony bow, that unfortunately missed, alerting all three bandits of my location. Quickly, I scrambled for cover and switched to my knife. As they gave up the search, I silently sprinted forward and slit the throats of each bandit as they walked back to their posts. All in all, very satisfying.

Played a one hand weapon, shield/destrucion fire magic in the other hand, bow when needed, restoration spells after fights, potions while in a fight, smithed Ebony/Daedric /Dragon armors. Upgraded armor and weapons with Legendary on the workbench and the wheel (bonus of about 70-90% of damage, armor).
At level 40+ invested mostly in One handed weapons, smithing, block, heavy armor, some in alchemy, destruction and restoration magic now at the end going for enchanting in order to make Dragon/Daedric armor with 2 enchantments per armor piece.
Right now I have, with a shield equipped and only half of the perks from heavy armor taken, 680+ armor (combo of Daedric , Dragon, Steal armor) and a Ebony, not enchanted, one had sword, upgraded on the wheel(Legendary) up to 81 damage.
With about 3 diferant sets of shields and boots each with 40-50-60% of resistance to Frost, Fire, Shock lets just say Dragons tremble in my presence, I have even stooped drinking health potions when killing them. 350 Hp on the one before last difficulty setting.
I've actually been hoping for a Nights of the Nine type faction via DLC (the Vigilant of Stendarr seem an obvious hook) as I want to try playing an Imperial Paladin: One Handed, Block, Heavy Armor, Restoration, and maybe Speech. I want to see how the game holds up if you specifically avoid crafting and rely upon purchasing and finding your equipment. There's certainly a better selection to be had from dungeons, and at low-to-mid enchantment levels I regularly find better stuff (and oh, the agony of trying to decide if destroying that awesome item to get the enchantment and XP is the best decision). EDIT: Shops also have a better inventory, and if you've got the cash you can buy some really nice stuff. Radiant Raiment in particular seems to stock some gobsmacking jewelry for your level.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

I am a long ways off from the end game stage, but right now my character is level 27 playing largely under the scenario you described. Only recently have I started smithing items, and it will be a while before I can craft much that is useful yet. Furthermore, my enchantments are weak enough to be depressing. So far the choice of disenchanting items is easy enough for my player since I only seem to find heavy armor, which doesn't fit my thief build. The game is sufficiently challenging on the second highest difficulty, and there have been several dungeons that I have set aside for a better day. Relying on the discovered items adds a lot of excitement to the game, there is no logical reason for me to be so excited to find my prized dwarf knife, and ebony bow.

LoL, no I get WAY more damage when I was at 350+ armor then now at 700+. Now I get shot by 3 archers at the same time, and I go from 370 HP to 350HP after 5 or so arrows from each enemy. (Those where Thalmor archers from the quest to free one of the Nords that was in their prison )
Well when your at 370 HP and have the resistance at 80%, you prity much cant even notice that your being damaged by that type of magic attack.
I did kinda got my smiting up to 100 at level 30 or so, but found the first ebony armor when I got up to 38 or so, and the first EVER Daedric weapon at level 42, while first part of the Dragon armor (Which is kinda strange that you can find Dragon armor in the game, I was under the impression that you could only make it since Dragons haven't been around since 1000 years ago) at level 47.
The thing is that now I am a Demigod, BUT when I get attacked by Shock magic from high level enemy they can kill me in 3-4 strikes even with my 370HP. Armor with resistance to magic or at least potions with resistance are a Must.
The problem is right now I am playing the game as I have each Bethesda game after Morrowind, with the weight set to 9000, so I can have all the items I want or need with me at all times, but I am going to play the game again without it and I have a feeling that its going to get MUCH harder when I become a mage/archer/sneak attacker that can carry only 300-400 weight.
