Welcome to Old New Orleans Rum!
I'm not a big rum drinker, but this stuff is awesome. Makes a great gift - a rum from one of the only rum distilleries in the United States. I attended a party at the New Orleans Rum Distillery recently where a whole bunch of mojitos were served - I am in love. The only rum a true New Orleanian will ever have to buy again, made right here in the heart of the Big Easy.

On her tenth anniversary leading the Supreme Judicial Court,
Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall received the Massachusetts Bar
Association's Chief Justice Edward F. Hennessey Award.
Marshall was recognized with the award at the Fourth Annual
Bench-Bar Symposium, which was held Oct. 21 at the John Adams
Courthouse in Boston. The honor has been bestowed only five times,
including when it was originally given to SJC Chief Justice
Hennessey in 1988.
Marshall is the first woman to serve as chief justice and just the
second to serve as an associate justice. Former Gov. William Weld
appointed Marshall to the SJC in 1996, and in 1999, she was
appointed chief justice by former Gov. A. Paul Cellucci in 1999 and
began her term on Oct. 14, 1999.
Cellucci, now special counsel to McCarter & English LLP in
Boston, told the audience he based his decision on intellect,
courage and leadership.
"I had the great honor of elevating Margaret Marshall to be chief
justice of the Supreme Judicial Court," he said. "The head of our
state's judicial branch has to be an exceptional person."
Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Christine M. Durham, who
succeeded Marshall as president of the Conference of Chief
Justices, also applauded Marshall.
"She is alive to the promise of the American justice system,"
Durham said, " … and she is alive to defending and preserving
In presenting the award, MBA President Valerie A. Yarashus said,
"She has surpassed all of our highest expectations," noting in
particular Marshall's commitment to access to justice.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/2/2013 (1640 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Theirs is an enduring love affair, but writers and readers no longer have the traditional relationship they once did.
More and more of them are meeting electronically, for one thing. And, as with Internet dating, self-publishing is becoming increasingly mainstream and acceptable, so a growing number of would-be authors are bypassing the literary matchmaker altogether.
Who needs an agent and a royalty-paying publisher when you've got a manuscript and a credit card?
Winnipegger Mary Anne Appleby says she always knew she'd self-publish if the story that had been percolating in her head for 20 years ever made it onto the page. It did in November 2011, when 3,200 copies of Winnie the Bear rolled off the presses at Friesens Corp., in Altona.
The hardcover, colour-illustrated book ($34.95) tells the true story of the famous bear cub named for Winnipeg that became A.A. Milne's inspiration for Winnie the Pooh. Around 1,700 copies have sold thus far, mostly on consignment at bookstores and gift shops. Appleby says she sold 700 books on her own, just by tapping the friends-and-family market.
The retired mental-health worker, who had no previous writing credits nor publishing experience, prefers to call her book "independently published." The term "self-published" still carries a stigma, she says, harkening back to a time when the "vanity press" was seen as the last refuge for failed authors or substandard works that no legitimate publishing house would touch.
"I literally started my own publishing company (Dominion Street Publishing) and did everything exactly as a publishing company would do it," says Appleby. That included hiring a professional editor, designer, illustrator and printer to produce the book, then pounding the pavement to sell it. She even sent a copy to the Queen and applied to be on Dragon's Den in hopes of reaching a national audience.
She didn't want to reveal the precise amount, but Appleby did say she spent "tens of thousands" of dollars to bring Winnie the Bear to market. She pockets $28 from every book she sells on her own and $14 for consignment sales, compared with the $3.50 per book (or 10 per cent) she says she'd get if she'd signed on with a traditional publishing house.
Relatively few authors get in that door.
"In a typical year, we get around 150 manuscripts and we publish three," says Maurice Mierau, associate publisher at Great Plains Publications, which specializes in Prairie history and biography.
Appleby is far from alone on the independent path.
The number of self-published books produced annually in the United States has nearly tripled, growing 287 per cent, since 2006, according to a recent report by Bowker, the agency that issues all International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) in the United States. Ebooks showed the greatest gains, up 129 per cent since 2010, while print grew 33 per cent in that same period.
"Self-publishing is now supported by a sophisticated and highly accessible support structure. It's provided everyone who has a story to tell with a method for sharing it and levelled the playing field to an unprecedented degree," Beat Barblan, director of identifier services for Bowker, said in a news release, which also noted that a number of self-published authors have landed their titles on the prestigious New York Times bestseller list for ebook fiction.
The poster child for self-publishing, of course, is E L James, whose Fifty Shades of Grey erotica trilogy began life as an ebook and has since sold 35 million copies (print and digital) in the U.S. alone and brought in more than $200 million to publisher Random House. Publishers Weekly, the bible of the American book trade, named James its Publishing Person of the Year for 2012 -- the first time the accolade has gone to an author.
Critics might say that self-publishing has lowered the bar on quality writing by removing the gatekeeper and filters that the conventional publishing model represented. Getting a publishing contract, after various editors had deemed the subject matter and content worthy, used to mean a writer had passed the test.
Now, even publishing giants like Penguin Group and Simon & Schuster offer aspiring authors a fast track into print.
There's no shortage of companies selling design, editorial and marketing services. They'll even take care of such tedious tasks as registering copyright and assigning ISBNs and bar codes.
"It's definitely gone from a very slow trickle to incredibly busy. We do about 200 books a month, and that's growing month after month," says Tammara Kennelly, president of FriesenPress, the vanity-publishing subsidiary of Manitoba-based printer Friesens Corp. It has published around 1,200 books since opening in Victoria in 2009.
FriesenPress offers self-publishing packages ranging from $899 for an ebook or a "personal project" to more than $4,000 for the "all-inclusive package," which might be a full-colour, hard-cover commercial product.
Where self-publishing really differs from the conventional publishing model is, of course, financially. Self-published authors take on the risk and the reward, says Donovan Bergman, sales representative with Friesens Corp.
"Part of the whole process with self-publishers is making sure they have realistic expectations early on," he says. "If it's just a pet project they've dreamed of doing, that's very different than somebody who wants to go on a tour and do readings and who is really interested in the marketing and distribution side.
"A lot of people think that once the book is done, their work is done, but realistically, the work has only begun."
Winnipeg educational assistant Marla Paul-Merasty is finding that out, following the recent release of her first children's book.
The mother of two, who had no formal writing experience, says she literally dreamed up Chuck the Different Vampire, which tells the tale of a young, sneaker-wearing vampire who eschews blood and likes sunlight. The caped youngster discovers the special power that allows him to be outside in the daytime is activated through good manners and politeness.
"I dreamed this," says Paul-Merasty, holding up one of the colourful softcover books she self-published through FriesenPress. "It was this little vampire running around the Exchange District doing good deeds -- helping people and opening doors. Everybody says write your dreams down, but nobody ever does anything with them."
Paul-Merasty, who works with special-needs children and is also known as Miss Marla, says her book carries a message of diversity and acceptance. She's been doing readings at schools and libraries around the city, has a website (chuckthedifferentvampire.ca) and is working on a YouTube video to promote the book. Chuck even has a theme song.
When all is said and done, she says, she'll have spent close to $10,000 to produce and promote the 500 copies of Chuck that rolled off the press last Halloween and are for sale on Amazon and through McNally Robinson Booksellers ($11.99). The colour illustrations for the 32-page book, which were done by Illinois artist Alan Margolis and feature the Manitoba Legislative Building and other landmark buildings in the Exchange District, cost $1,500 alone.
But whether or not it turns into a profitable venture, Paul-Merasty says self-publishing a book has taken her out of her comfort zone and on an adventure she knows is only beginning. There may even be a Chuck series.
"It was something that was near and dear to my heart and I followed through with it," she says. "It's not a cheap process, but it's something I wanted to do."

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"These invites were perfect for our Late August rustic themed wedding. Designing was simple and they arrived earlier than expected! Terrific experience!"
"I ordered this invitation for my upcoming destination wedding. Designing the invitation was easy and they have specialized reviewers who will check your projects for any spelling or grammar errors. I submitted my invite and in less than a day the reviewer had already emailed me with some recommended changes. The product arrived the exact date as promised and I was happy to see that they were larger than expected. The photo quality was excellent and all of my family friends truly loved them! I was so happy with this purchase and will definetly recommend this website to future buyers!"

The Veggie Table: Meatless Mexican Lasagnaby Janel Ovrut Funk in Healthy Recipes, February 10, 2012
Lasagna is one of those dishes I reserve for the winter months, when I want something warm and comforting. This Mexican Lasagna, which uses tortillas in place of lasagna noodles, has some added heat from the salsa and jalapenos to really warm things up on a cold winter day. If you can't stand the heat, use a mild salsa and omit the jalapeno.
Meatless Mexican Lasagna
Serves 4
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
5 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded (vegetarian) or 1 cup Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds (vegan)
1 16-oz jar salsa
1 Tbsp canola or grapeseed oil
Avocado slices as garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 375F. Grease pie plate.
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, bell peppers, jalapeno pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender. Then scrape vegetables to a large bowl, and mix in can of black beans.
Place one tortilla on the bottom of the pie plate. Add a layer of the veggie mixture (about ¼ cup) on top of the tortilla. Spread 2 tablespoons of salsa on top and sprinkle with 1/5 of the cheese. Repeat the layering using up all tortillas. For the final layer, evenly spread the remaining salsa and cheese on top, making sure to completely cover the tortilla.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand at least 10 minutes before slicing into quarters and serving.

Is flash a good choice to make slideshows. I came to know in another thread taht it doesn't work in tablets. What other choices or the best choice do I have?
Depending on what type of slideshow you are looking to create, clear box is a nice option and it integrates nicely with Dreamweaver.
Just a simple one and need to use it on Wordpress sites.
I suggest that you choose from the numerous plugins that are available for wordpress. You will need to do a search on the terms: wordpress plugin slideshow you will have numerous choices and I am quite positive that they will all satisfy the need.
No, plugins doesn't seem to be a solution.
Why do you feel that the slideshow plug-ins for Wordpress are not a solution? I am thinking that a solution to adding a slide show to a Wordpress site is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/
Or maybe you prefer a light box, which is found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-lightbox-shadow/ If these plug-ins do not meet your needs, perhaps you should provide more explanation.
Wordpress is all about the plug-ins. Another option, would be to not use Wordpress and just construct a website without the content management system. Unless you have a client that is requiring it to be in Wordpress or you want your site to have the same "look" as many other recent websites, I would recommend you starting from scratch and use the traditional coding: HTML, PHP, CSS, jQuery, etc... and retain complete control of all aspects of the site without the confines of a CMS.
To further answer your question, you originally mentioned flash and tables. You can incorporate an swf file (movie output from Adobe Flash) into a cell within an HTML table. However, current standards instruct developers to only use tables for numerical data that is suited for tabular output. Instead of the table approach just use CSS and div the table. So are you using Wordpress or was that just a content management system that you knew of when I asked what you what type of site you were working on.
Thanks a lot for providing link to plugin. Hope it helps.
So are you satisfied that plug-in(s) are a solution? An earlier post from you indicated that you did not believe plug-ins were a solution. Just making sure you have what you need to get yourself up and running. Just for your information, if you would have used any search engine you prefer and searched on the terms Wordpress slideshow plug-in you would have seen the links I provided. If you are not satisfied with the options I provided, I suggest that you perform you own search (which was my original thought and my first post in an attempt to answer your question). Much luck to you and I hope you accomplish your goals.
I already did searh for it on SE as well as on WP but couldn't find the one you provided. Its lot easier. This is why I use forum when I can't find things on SEs.
Flash is OK. But there are numerous source as like powerpoint.
I Think you can Use JQuery and Mootools.It will be very informative for you..

First off, congratulations to producers of "Amazing Race" for their Emmy Award, and to the contestants for making a great season (both, season 3 and 4), but now for the bad news...
The rumors of TAR's non-death may have been greatly exaggerated.
According to the Associated Press, after accepted his award, Jerry Bruckheimer had this to say to CBS...
"It's a thrill for all of the people behind me who work so hard on this show. We still haven't been renewed, so this is wonder. CBS, are you watching."
But what about the TAR5 website and the accepting of applications? Brian F. Sullivan, the webmaster of www.thefutoncritic.com website (a very reliable source of TV news), the network has only given the go ahead to cast the fifth season. Once that is finished, the network will decide whether or not to go ahead and renew the series.
However, the Emmy win will go a long way in convincing CBS to do just that, and not to mention (perhaps, more importantly) the involvement and support of Mr. Bruckheimer (who produces the two "CSI's", "Without a Trace" and upcoming "Cold Case" for CBS).
Sorry to be the bearer of (possibly) bad news.

DETROIT - Engine Company 23 at East Grand Boulevard and Moran Street usually sends three engines, an emergency unit and a captain along with a ladder to calls.
The engine company is going away along with many others. The remaining companies will not send three engines but only two.
That's because Detroit Mayor Dave Bing's Fire Department cuts started taking effect Monday night. The cuts have people on edge in a city that sees its fair share of fires.
Among the cuts are engines 5, 8, 20, 21, 23, 31, 33, 38, 42 and 47. Ladders 1, 10, 16 and 24 also are gone. Moreover, the Detroit Fire Department will be demoting two battalion chiefs to captain, 15 captains to lieutenant, 41 lieutenants to sergeant, 90 sergeants to firefighters among other demotions. A mini pumper called a tactical unit also is being removed from service.
But the city of Detroit burns nightly. Throw in drought conditions and firefighter equipment cuts and Detroiters are understandably concerned.
"The whole situation is bad around here," said Steven Childs.
Childs has lived in the neighborhood near Engine 23 for 20 years. He is weary and frightened at Detroit's limited emergency response. That's why he keeps a baseball bat and a fire extinguisher at his front door.
"I'm constantly on guard here due to the fact that police aren't what they should be, the Fire Department is not what it should be," he said.
That was how he felt before the cuts to the Fire Department. Now, he feels no comfort in losing the engine.
Five of the cut engines being removed from service are considered "browned out" in spotty service for the past seven years. One of the four ladders cut is considered "browned out," too.
For the firefighters, overtime will be a thing of the past. The demotions should push out younger firefighters, meaning the average age of a Detroit "smoke eater" is now 43.
More: Mayor announces 164 firefighters will be laid off
"Like 'American Pie' by Don McClean, the day the music died," said union Chief Dan McNamara. "This may be the day that firefighting died as we know it. And we're very proud of what we do."
The mayor's office said no one likes this but it is where the city is. They have to make cuts. They have no choice.

Have too many foreclosed properties?
Why not give them away?
That's what Bank of America plans to do with as many as 150 vacant and abandoned properties in and around Chicago through a new "collaboration" with the city that's intended to address the problem of abandoned properties.
"Unfortunately," BofA said in a statement, "many homeowners faced with unemployment, underemployment and other economic hardships have transitioned to alternative housing situations, and in many cases, have walked away from their homes, leaving behind vacant and deteriorating properties that can cause neighborhood blight."
As part of the new effort, BofA plans to:
- Register properties with the city when the mortgage is delinquent and the property has been identified as vacant and abandoned.
- Identify up to 150 properties that will be referred to a new Cook County vacant and abandoned building court call in an effort to speed up the foreclosure process and return the properties to stable, productive use. The foreclosure timeline for vacant and abandoned properties in the area currently averages 18 months, the bank said.
- Contribute funds toward the city's costs of demolishing deteriorating buildings on the donated properties.
- Donate foreclosed and vacant condominiums to the nonprofit Community Investment Corp. as part of an initiative to upgrade, preserve and stabilize management of affordable rental housing.
BofA also recently held a mortgage modification outreach event and opened a new full-time customer assistance center in Chicago.
These and other initiatives "provide convenient opportunities for customers who are having difficulty making their mortgage and other credit account payments to receive face-to-face counseling, on-site processing and underwriting of mortgage modification requests and other assistance," the bank explained.
Bank of America presently has 12 full-time customer assistance centers. Twenty-eight more are scheduled to open in the next few months. Seven will be located in California. Others will be in Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Denver, Detroit, Houston, Miami, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Philadelphia, San Antonio, St. Louis and other major cities.

Bring the Holiday Cheer: Clever Christmas Theme Party Ideas
If you've been to a Christmas party within the last 10 years, odds are at some point you donned a Goodwill-purchased, cat and mistletoe-covered sweater and attended an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party.
If you've been to a Christmas party within the last 10 years, odds are at some point you donned a Goodwill-purchased, cat and mistletoe-covered sweater and attended an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party.
Not to knock that particular theme – it's always fun every year, and makes getting dressed relatively easy – but if you're ready to throw a Christmas party that's a little more creative and a little less stale, take a look at some of our favorite theme party ideas.
If you're entertaining a more fun and laid-back crowd, throw an "Elfin' Good Time" Christmas party, complete with tiny green hats, finger food and the quintessential Will Ferrell movie quotes displayed everywhere. If your guests have more sophisticated tastes, throw a retro "It's a Wonderful Life" party, complete with elegant cocktails and décor.
For guests that have a fine appreciation for details, host a chevron or peppermint-themed party. With your house decked out in all things theme-related and color-coordinated, it's sure to make a holly jolly impression.
Favorite Christmas Movie Character
"Christmas Vacation," "A Christmas Story, "Elf." There are so many good Christmas movies, it's hard to narrow down which ones have the best characters. For a fun and laid-back theme party, have your guests dress as their favorite character. Cousin Eddie from "Christmas Vacation" is always a win, in my book.
'Nightmare Before Christmas'
For a really unconventional Christmas party, throw a "Nightmare Before Christmas" bash. If your guests love the movie, or aren't ready to let go of the Halloween spirit, it's perfect. A black Christmas tree and themed cookies like the display featured on Off Beat Mama add the perfect touch.
Elfin' Good Time
To honor Santa's little helpers up on the North Pole, and the hit Will Ferrell movie, serve mini foods and deck your house out in Elf-themed decor for an Elfin' good time. This party featured on Kara's Party Ideas went all-out.
The chic pattern is still in style, especially for the holidays. For a more subtle but fashionable theme, opt for all things chevron. Napkins, napkin rings, cookie sleeves -- you name it, you can put chevron on it for some seasonal decor,as featured on The Celebration Shoppe.
The holiday's most famous ballet is such a Christmas tradition, it would be a shame not to celebrate it in an elegant themed party, like this one on Catch my Party. with displaying your nutcracker and serving nuts, serve beautifully colored candy in honor of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and a gingerbread cookie cocktail.
'It's a Wonderful Life'
The 1946 movie starring Jimmy Stewart had its heart-wrenching moments, but the overall message of the movie is positive and uplifting. Have a throwback Christmas party with outfits, decor and cocktails from the '40s to put your guests in a jazzy retro mood.
Peppermint Party
Candy canes are not only the candy of the season, they're also the flavor. Incorporate red and white stripes into your decor, and serve peppermint-flavored treats for your Christmas party. This party featured on Hostess with the Mostess includes peppermints all throughout the glam event.
See how Dawn Sandomeno and Elizabeth Mascali elevate the every day with their fantastic recipes and ideas!Read More »

Was it a stroke 10-24?
I am still confused so I will include symptoms and a CT report now also. She does have right sided weakness and is in a rehab to help strengthen everything. As for any facial effects there are none or at least any that have been noted. She was told she has fibromyalgia about 15-20 years ago since she has chronic pain all over that comes and goes and is in different places. She has numb places mostly on her lower extremidies. When she has a "flare" everything gets bad, including most symptoms that I have found for MS including eye disturbances. Sometimes she gets worse and other times a little better, but never back to the same place she was. When this recent event happened, she was no longer capable of standing, she went to the hospital where a lost of tests were ran, including the MRI results I have sent. No one is willing to explain how bad the stroke was and if it is the reason for what was shown on the MRI. Here is the CT: No intracranial hemorrahge is seen. There is an ill-defined area of low attenuation in the left frontal lobe, internal capsule anterior limb extending into the corona radiate consistent with a possible recent infraction. Conculusion: Evidence of left frontal infraction, indeterminate age. Recent infraction cannor be excluded. No hemorrhage seen. No mass or mass effect identified. So she had one, but was it little? She has had many mini strokes since the early 80`s and no, I don`t know how many, no one has ever said, only that she could have had one (during what ever time frame a new event was going on). I just "feel" that the fibromyalgia could have been misdiagnosed way back when, and it might really be MS, symptoms she has had since her early 30`s. Thanks for all help
I think the problem is that your doctors are not sure, as the patient does not fall easily into a typical diagnosis. It seems possible that there was indeed a little stroke if the symptoms came on suddenly, but with the information you provided I cannot exclude another process going on at the same time or that a stroke did not occur. If MS is seriously considered, she should be seen by a neurologist who can perform tests such as a lumbar puncture that would be helpful diagnostically. I cannot offer any further opinion. I would urge you to see a neurologist and have them do a full history and physical examination, plus any testing that they think is indicated to get to the bottom of this. I would warn you that despite all of our knowledge and technology, we do not always have an answer for some cases, and I worry that this case may fall into that category. Best of luck.

I tried using this pattern to check the submitted contents of the textarea in a form:
$pattern = '/^[\\p{L}\\p{M}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{Z}]{2,1500}+$/u';
However it does not allow paragraph returns -- despite the inclusion of 'Z' which, as I understand it, searches for any kind of whitespace or invisible separator (including 'Zl' for line separator and 'Zp' for paragraph separator), and the fact that the page, form and server default charset are all set to UTF-8.
So I tried this:
$pattern = '/^[\\p{L}\\p{M}\\p{N}\\p{P}\\p{Z}\\r\
And it works now -- although the paragraph returns are stripped out of the email when it is delivered. Can someone explain why I should have to use '\r\' here? Also, how can I retain the paragraph formatting when the email is delivered?
Note: I would also appreciate any comment on the regex itself, which validates the message body of an email. The input has already been filtered through htmlspecialchars, striptags and stripslashes and, while I would like to limit the extent of the content, I'm not at all sure that I should be checking the characters used.
You may be looking for the /s (DOTALL) modifier, which effectively ignores linebreaks when matching
Thanks for that, Antnee: I replaced '\p{Z}\r\' with '\s' and it has indeed solved the problem.
I guess the issue with lost paragraph formatting in the delivered email should go to another thread if I can't get to the bottom of it.
Are you using this in a preg_replace()?
I was using the pattern above in a preg_match() for validation purposes but it has occurred to me that I should be looking into a preg_replace() in order to maintain formatted paragraphs in the delivered email.
The immediate problem is that I am not sure what is left to replace in the following:
$msg = "
".htmlspecialchars(strip_tags(stripslashes($message['Msg'])), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')."
";
Running the following line after the one above has solved the issue:
$msg = preg_replace('#([\\r\
]){2,}#', '
$0
', $msg);
Hmmm... off the top of my head, personally, I think I would strip slashes and tags and then preg_replace() unwanted characters (you could actually do both of these in a preg_replace() as well, if you didn't want to call multiple functions). It's not until you've removed everything that you don't want that you should be converting to HTML entities, and even then you'd only want to do that if you're sending HTML emails AFAIK. If you're doing a preg_replace() though then you don't need to preg_match() to validate. After you've replaced you would simply look to ensure that the remaining string is still long enough to warrant sending an email, for example.
Thanks again for the prompt reply, Antnee (so prompt that I think you may have missed the edit to my last post with the solution).
I have shortened the two lines above to:
$msg = "
".preg_replace('#([\\r\
]){2,}#', '
$0
', htmlspecialchars(strip_tags(stripslashes($message['Msg'])), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'))."
";
Which still works. But I'm not sure how I can test for the validation pattern in the same funciton.
Haha, I knew I'd open myself to more questions by mentioning that you could do them all in a preg_replace(). Regex is very powerful, but also very difficult to manage if you go into complicated patterns. And what one person thinks is perfect, another will completely disagree with. This is a classic example: http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html Ultimately, just have it remove what you want it to remove. There's nothing wrong with using a couple of PHP functions if you want to, just bear in mind that they're not foolproof. strip_tags() for example won't strip any tags that are malformed, for example.
Like I say though, you don't need to validate if you've replaced already. What would you be looking for? If you've already removed all invalid characters then your validation would always be successful
I've booked myself into a course in programming security for the coming summer -- hopefully that will go someway toward settling the tremors of panic I get when dealing with the issue.
Interestingly, I already looked at the page you linked in your last post -- it's a very handy site for regex brain strains in general.
Ah, I see, you're using the HTML5 input pattern attribute? I must admit I do like this very much. Have been using it for years, since it first gained any support at all. Frankly, I tend to leave it to the browser now and handle unsupported browsers server-side, rather than adding a third layer to have to develop and support. Kudos for doing it properly and for trying out a course too. Many wouldn't go to that much trouble. Hopefully you'll return to share the knowledge

Hi Mary Ann!ReplyDelete
Every time you post about Mammoth.. I miss it so :( I learned how to ski there AND celebrated my 21 birthday thirty plus years ago. When I had my kids, we had a condo and would go regularly. Such a fun spot and great for skiing!
Your recipe looks SO delicious. I need to make this for dinner!
Love the pictures, especially the bear statue. You asked what to do with your beautiful pine cones...go to http://sweetsomethingdesign.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-christmas-wreaths.html and scroll through her wreaths till you see what she made with two huge pinecones. Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Great pictures...and although I am happy YOU have snow I am dreading it here. We have such long, dreary winters and I am a sun-lover. I can sure see the beauty at your place though. Blessings- xo DianaReplyDelete
Oh, I miss Mammoth. New Jersey is not that fun this year.ReplyDelete
It really is beautiful there! So nice to have snow this early in the season! But here in New Jersey I am happy just to have my power back! We got ours back yesterday - which was day 12! I hope your cousin is next!ReplyDelete
She got it back this afternoon... sorry for your hardship.Delete
There's nothing like a fresh snowfall. And a nap. Love that table....for $98!!!! Amazing.ReplyDelete
I have to smile at your cousin's headlamp we just spent a week wearing them too and they're very useful glad she has electricity back. Your pot pie looks incrediable and I'm going to try mine next time with a roasted chicken from the store. I hope you're having a wonderful time Mary Ann it's beautiful!ReplyDelete
Great pics and the lobby looks a great place to snooze,have 2 ski centres local to me but not quite as much snow as you yet. Loving the big pine cones too.ReplyDelete
Annie x
The snow looks beautiful! I must try that chicken pot pie, looks yummy!!! Oh, and that thrift store console table...what a bargain!! Hope you are having fun.ReplyDelete
Mary Ann,ReplyDelete
Gorgeous pics of the snow... our new neighbor next door just moved back to San Diego from Mammoth.
That chandelier is so beautiful! Terri does find the coolest stuff... do you happen to know the name of the thrift store? I do get up to the Newport area on occasion and would love to check it out!
Your ski place looks so cozy!! I love it.....the scenery and view are stunning! No wonder you love going there...you are welcome to have the snow we have gotten, way too early for me.ReplyDelete
LOVE chicken pot pie more than words can convey, its my absolute favorite comfort food. So you mean if I put a sprig of parsley next to it, its immediately half the calories? I like how you roll, Mary Ann!
BTW Love your new header *assuming its new or I just had my head elsewhere and didn't notice??? Looks great!ReplyDelete
You are so lucky to be able to enjoy the beach and the mountains! Your snowy surroundings look beautiful!ReplyDelete
Glad to hear your cousin's power has been restored. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Mary Ann I just pinned the recipe, Chicken pot pie is one of my favorites, so perfect for a hardy winter meal. The snow looks so beautiful. You are so right about Miss Terri, I have had the pleasure of becoming a blogging friend and a friend in person and she is beautiful inside and out!! So glad you two got to meet,ReplyDelete
xo Kathysue
Looks amazing. Would love to be there today having that chicken dish!ReplyDelete
Beautiful ski house. My husband and his brother just went halves on a ski house season rental (they are both avid skiers) I like sitting inside with hot chocolate and reading material, but have to say watching the snow is so beautiful.ReplyDelete
Your ski town looks like pure heaven! Send me some pine cones...I like to spray them with faux snow and arrange them in a pretty bowl or basket. :)ReplyDelete
mammoth looks beautiful! i've never been though i've been in la for a few years now. maybe this year! as for the pine cones you could spray paint them gold or silver and put them in a bowl as a thanksgiving centerpiece?ReplyDelete
- Mel@Georgica POndNovember 11, 2012 at 3:19 PM
Oh my that coral chandelier! What I'd do for that beauty. Your photos are beautiful, nothing prettier than blue sky and white snow.ReplyDelete
How fast the seasons change, can't believe you are in snow! Love the photos of your dog walk. Now ready to make pot pie, yum. I do the parsley thing all the time too. What about gluing ribbons to the pine cones to make hanging clusters? Look at thisReplyDelete
Great idea...thanks, Cindy!Delete
Mary Ann,ReplyDelete
I just loved this post. It reads like you are so relaxed and enjoying your time in the mountains. Wishing I had a little bit of this right here before the holiday craziness begins! Also, the pie looks like a gormet meal! yum. M.
Mary Ann,ReplyDelete
Looks like a wonderful place to go...you've got me dreaming of cold weather now! Bet you and Terri had a blast shopping :)
I'm back again! That chicken pot pie looks delicious!!! Mary Ann, I have a 2nd year blog anniversary giveaway today...stop by and check it out! Thanks! XO, DesireeReplyDelete
Mary Ann,ReplyDelete
Your view is magnificent...makes me miss Colorado and skiing everyday. Walking through that lobby everyday must make you feel like you are on vacation everyday! That chandelier for Alie is going to be fantastic in a bright color and some vintage style Edison bulbs. I've replaced every bulb in my house and on the porch...what a difference. Chicken pot pie looks delicious and I have an idea for those pinecones. Send me a box!! haha. I have a few that I got ten years ago for $1 each at Stew Leonard's. I just saw them at Terrain for $20 each!! I would love to fill my planters, but I can't find them here on the ground and Terrain is out of the question. Can we make a trade...what do I have even? Just kidding, sort of.
Dreamy is the word that comes to mind here. Food and surroundings look fabulous, Mary Ann.ReplyDelete
You know I love this weather, and would love to live in the mountains.
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Monday.
That looks like a dream vacation spot, and with the chicken pot pie, warm and cozy! Love your friends fabulous finds...that just makes me think I can't give up looking for treasures, even though I come up empty a lot of times!ReplyDelete
xo Nancy
What a fun way to spend the fall, where you have a chance for snow. I love the snow, probably because I'm a native SoCal gal. Your cousin sounds like a trooper through such a challenge of having no lights for an extended period of time.ReplyDelete
It's so beautiful up there, it looks so crisp and clear. You certainly have the best of both worlds.....sand and snow!! And those pine cones are gorgeous! I have a good chicken pot pie recipe but think I might have to try yours. Seeing it makes my mouth water. I love to make it when the weather gets cold and it seemed like summer just didn't want to end, but I do feel a bit of fall in the air so will have to make it soon.ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures! The snow looks lovely!!! I must cook that chicken pot pie. Looks scrumptious!!!!ReplyDelete
I'm so ready for a good CO snow storm, (feel guilty wishing for it). And, the chicken pot pie dinner would be the perfect compliment...yum!ReplyDelete
What fun pictures - makes me excited for skiing, and maybe even for chicken pot pie tonight!ReplyDelete
Hey friend!ReplyDelete
You are too cute posting about me, thank you!!
Love this cozy post of yours. I love your gorgeous pine cones.
One year I collected a boat load at Northstar and every Christmas I decorate our entire home with them.
Miss you!!
I'll call soon for a nice chat...
I am making that chicken pot pie this week. It is balmy here in Charleston , no snow in sight;)))ReplyDelete
The iron sculpture scares me, I was in Yellowstone last summer when a couple was mulled by Grizzly , yikes!
The snow looks so magical and peaceful. I think I will make chicken pot pie this week. It looks so good! P.S. gave you a shout out today on my blog! xoReplyDelete
Congratulations to you and your cousin both. My oldest son promised to visit from Wyoming when the weather was nicer here than there. it is 10 degrees in Cheyenne. guess who is here for dinner):-ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous setting and I'm totally going to make that pot pie...with a side of parsley of course! :-) Love those awesome finds too!ReplyDelete
I found your blog at It's Overflowing. Your home is absolutely gorgeous! Your transformation of your cottage is amazing!ReplyDelete

Dramatic Men's Jacket
No, I don't recommend a lot of men's wear. That's simply because guys get gimped when it comes to the dramatic fashion department. This jacket, however, I could NOT resist showing off. Fit with fine details, super cool retro lines to the cut and style, this is nice enough you could even pull it off in an 'upscale' way. Yeah, we're talking double-breasted and double rows of button decorated cuffs - seriously sophisticated craftsmanship.

Halloween's Frightening Fashions!
Born-and-bred New Yorker Jonathan Simkhai, 25, is all about tomboys with sex appeal. "I design for the girl that's willing to take a risk with untraditional, androgynous pairings. I find something unbelievably and effortlessly sexy about a girl in good menswear," says Simkhai, who debuted his eponymous collection for spring 2011. His cool downtown silhouettes are inspired by both the avant-garde designs of Rick Owens and the classicism of Ralph Lauren.
"Throughout the design process, I kept imagining a girl stuck at a country estate who discovers a trunk of classic, vintage pieces and incorporates them into her life. My girl favors menswear and adds a twist of femininity through 1950s country silhouettes," Simkhai says. He toughened up a classic circle skirt in leather and edged up a striped pencil skirt by layering a cardigan over a leather bra-top.
"Right now I am really inspired by the film Coco Before Chanel. Especially the scenes where Coco steals her lovers' or the gardener's clothing and transforms the über-masculine pieces into soft, feminine looks instantly. The way that she carries herself wearing these outfits creates a feeling of confidence and sex appeal that I am drawn to."

Did you know?
Dr Maria Moroka, after whom the reserve is named, was a Struggle hero from Thaba Nchu.
Almost all nature reserves in the Free State province are created around large, scenic dams, and the Maria Moroka Game Reserve is no exception.
But one of the things that sets this park apart is that it is close to a very special mountain, called Thaba Nchu mountain, the spiritual homeland of the Basotho people who have lived here for hundreds of years, first under Chief Moroka in 1830, and later under the more famous Chief Moshoeshoe.
The mountain, only about 70km from the provincial capital (and airport) of Bloemfontein, rises above the Maria Moroka Game Reserve.
The large body of water at its centre is the Moutloatsi Saetlogelo Dam, which is popular with anglers (and those who love sundowners on a boat).
You can walk or drive and see herds of eland, black wildebeest, red hartebeest, springbok, blesbok and zebra. Sometimes there are spectacular sightings of birds – hundreds of blue cranes at times – plus the cheerful common or garden birds chirping at dawn.
But they are not the only attraction; there's also the setting. As all the websites carrying any information about the Maria Moroka Game Reserve will tell you, this is 'Big Sky' Country. The air here is clear, the horizons are wide, and the nearby mountain Thaba Nchu (Black Mountain) makes it all jump into focus.
Interestingly, the large hotel within the game reserve used to be a casino, and has a swimming pool, putt-putt course, jacuzzi, sauna and a few other glitzy attractions – completely different to the standard little self-catering chalets you usually find at a provincial park like this.
You're less than an hour's drive from the city of Bloemfontein, but it feels as if you're far, far away. As a bonus, this is a great stopover point if you're travelling to the Lesotho border post and Maseru.

Maria Moroka Game Reserve
Tel: +27 (0)51 873 2427
How to get here
From Bloemfontein, take the N8 towards Lesotho. After 65km you'll find the little town of Thaba Nchu. Follow the signs to the game reserve and Black Mountain Hotel from here.
Best time to visit
The grassland is in full flower between November and January.
Get around
Within the reserve, you can drive, go on game drives, or take a scenic eight km hike.
Length of stay
You could stay overnight or for more game viewing, relaxing or exploring hotel facilities, stay two nights or more.
Where to stay
There are self-catering chalets if you'd prefer the simple life, and a rather large hotel if you like more comfort (and putt-putt).

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Troopers have found the car on Monday that they believe was involved in the hit-and-run crash that killed a 22-year-old Disney intern from Australia.
Mahmoud Arabi was struck by a car while walking in the crosswalk Monday on International Drive and Vineland Road. He died on Wednesday.
Troopers found the 1997 Ford 4-door they believe was involved in the crash and say the owner of the vehicle has been named as a person of interest. The driver is cooperating with troopers.
Arabi's parents spoke at the AMIL Center on Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway Friday asking for justice and begging for closure. Arabi was an intern at Disney's International Exchange program.
Charges are pending.

Potomac Watch: The debate over arctic oil drilling erupts again
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, June 11, 2004
WASHINGTON -- Hoping to capitalize on public ire over record-high gasoline prices, advocates of opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil exploration predict the House next week will authorize drilling there.
Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Calif., chairman of the House Resources Committee, says oil production in the arctic refuge on Alaska's coastal plain "would dramatically increase domestic supplies of oil, create thousands of jobs and lower prices at the pump."
Brian Kennedy, press secretary for the panel, said "it's a foregone conclusion that the House will pass the legislation, yet again," when the lawmakers take up the measure.
But environmentalists -- labeling the ANWR fight as one of their major political issues -- argue that the area is a crown jewel of U.S. public lands and should be protected for future generations. The 20-million acre refuge is home to grizzly bears, caribou and more than 100 species of birds.
The measure heading for the House floor would allow drilling on 2,000 acres of the refuge.
Oil companies and labor unions estimate that drilling in ANWR could create 800,000 to 1.3 million jobs and could cut America's dependence on foreign oil by 20 percent by 2025. The United States imports more than 60 percent of its oil, mainly from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, Iraq, Canada, Mexico and Nigeria.
When they bring the measure to a vote next week, House Republicans plan to stress that gasoline prices have hit an all-time national average of $2.04 a gallon.
Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chair of the House Energy and Committee, argues that "jobs, economic growth and personal opportunity in America depend on energy and that means America has to get it somewhere."
Barton said there was only a "tiny" likelihood of a mishap such as an oil spill, explosion or leaking pipeline.
Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., a senior Democrat on the House Resources panel, said proponents of drilling are "wildly" exaggerating the potential job creation and oil production from ANWR. "Their economics just don't work," Markey said.
In 1995, both the House and Senate voted to open ANWR to drilling, but President Clinton vetoed the measure.
The House has voted to open ANWR to oil drilling twice in the past three years, in 2001 and 2003, but the measure failed to clear the Senate each time.
President Bush said last month that drilling in ANWR could have made a difference in rising gasoline prices.
"Had ANWR been passed -- had it not been vetoed in the past -- we anticipate additional barrels of oil would have been coming out of that part of the world, which would obviously have a positive impact for today's consumers," Bush said.
Presidential nominee John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., have led the charge to block the drilling.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who favors the drilling, has not scheduled a Senate vote because the measure lacks the 60 votes necessary to end a threatened filibuster that would block the legislation.
Melinda Pierce, a lobbyist for the Sierra Club, said the ANWR measure would be "dead on arrival in the Senate."
Pierce said the ANWR issue "is a political maneuver" in which Republicans are "trying to shine a spotlight on Senate Democrats as preventing consumers from getting relief from high prices at the pump."
Pierce contended that ANWR drilling wouldn't make a difference at the gasoline pump. "We could drill in every national park and still not drill our way to energy independence," Pierce said, adding that the solution is more conservation, renewable and alternative energy sources and improving efficiency of air conditioners and automobiles.
Pierce noted the United States sits on less than 3 percent of the world's oil reserves yet consumes 25 percent of the world's oil.
Kennedy cited a March report by the Energy Information Administration in the U.S. Department of Energy that estimates recoverable oil from the refuge at 10.3 billion barrels, twice that of the entire state of Texas, which has 4.9 billion barrels of reserves. The report says oil companies could get peak production in six years.
But Athan Manuel, director of U.S. Pirg's Arctic Wilderness Campaign, estimates it would take at least 10 years to get the oil to the lower 48 states.
"It's not a short-term solution to either the price of gas at the pump or to making America energy independent," Manuel said.

Faith in dark times
Sudan war shapes Crawford County Catholic priest
Byline info is not available
Father Bashir Abdelsamad is a native of the Nuba Mountain region of Sudan. He was forced to flee at the beginning of the country's second civil war in the early 1980s. He now serves as vicar of five Iowa churches in Vail, Denison, Dow City, Charter Oak and Ute.
October 16, 2013
The gunshots rang out, one by one, across the stark landscape of one of Sudan's remote bush regions.
Father Abdelsamad Bashir knew of such nameless places, etched in stories of military executions.
One by one, the pastor watched nine men fall.
"My mind was not here completely. I was almost not here in this world. I was somewhere ...," he paused. "I never felt fear. I was already in another place."
"I knew that I was going to die, going to be arrested, so I decided to do it," said Bashir of his indiscriminate decision to offer aid to displaced Sudanese in the early 1980s. "I had to do it. There was no other way - people were dying."
A pastor in his native village of Kadugli, located in the Nuba Mountains region, Bashir watched the fragile peace between the predominantly Arab Muslim north and the African Christian south splinter as the blurred battle lines crept closer to the mountain range that physically divided Sudan. His country stood on the brink of a second civil war that would last for more than two decades.
"When war started, usually when war starts, people start being displaced," Bashir explained. "When the people came, I tried to organize them and support them with material needs and medicine."
For these efforts, Bashir was accused by government officials of supporting the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), a rebel movement split between factions fighting for a unified Sudan and those fighting for an independent south. After three arrests and a narrowly escaped execution, he fled, first working with displaced civilians in parts of his own country before traveling to Nairobi, Kenya, and eventually the United States where he currently serves as vicar of five Iowa churches in Vail, Denison, Dow City, Charter Oak and Ute.
Though a peace agreement was signed in Sudan in 2005, fighting broke out again in 2012.
"The war now in Nuba Mountains is a kind of ethnic cleansing," Bashir said. "From that time until now, there has been no sign of stopping of the war."
Raised Muslim, Bashir converted to Christianity while in high school, a change he said had been a long time coming.
"When I was in primary (elementary) school, the teacher was teaching us the Quran. Maybe I was a bit stubborn, I ask questions a lot," he said with a quick laugh. "One day I asked, 'Maulana (religious teacher), why did God create Christians and allow Muslims to kill them?' "
The teacher was angry, and Bashir was punished. His curiosity piqued, the questions would tug at the edge of the subconscious, but it would be years before he pursued answers.
"During the night came to me, like a dream - a vision or dream, I don't know, I was not actually sleeping - but appeared to me Christ with two books, the Bible and the Quran," Bashir recalled, his face growing pensive. "He asked me to choose the right book. As soon as I took the Bible, he disappeared."
Bashir continued his studies, "no longer interested in Islam." The season of final exams was approaching, and Bashir and his fellow students were taken to see a church for the first time. Bashir wandered in search of a Bible.
"I went to see the pastor to give me the book to see. When he gave me the book, my body started shaking," he said. "The pastor was frightened. He was afraid the government could accuse him of converting me."
After completing his exams, he joined the Camboni school.
"I told the priest I wanted to know everything in the Bible," Bashir said with a laugh. In his third year of study, he was baptized, and after his fourth year, he was confirmed. He continued on to seminary.
As Bashir studied the scriptures, his countrymen prepared for war.
"The Nuba people said this is our country," he explained. "It was given to us by God, and we cannot allow these people to take this land from us."
He was 30 years old the first time he was arrested. In the following year, he was arrested twice more. Following his third arrest, he was shoved into a small, cramped military cell with 200 other people. When officers came to retrieve him, he was herded into the back of a pickup truck with nine other men. He knew several of the men, teachers at the high school in the village.
Bashir knew what awaited him. One of his relatives, a lawyer, had been killed two days earlier.
"They did not allow me to see the priest," he said. "I was thinking, how to meet Jesus if I was not clean?"
He observed a military commander run into the scene, "reacting violently," yelling at the soldiers, ordering them to put their guns down. Still calm, Bashir watched as each man was individually gunned down in front of him. But the commander knew the pastor - Bashir was the only one he rescued.
"I pray for them always, since that time," Bashir said of the nine other men.
The commander advised him not to stay in Sudan. He helped Bashir connect with a group of Sudanese heading to "liberated" areas of the south, where he worked with displaced civilians until he got sick. He went to Nairobi, Kenya for treatment, where a professor from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, offered Bashir a scholarship to study in the United States. Then 32, he took the offer and completed a master's degree in ethics.
"The reason I am here is because of the war. I never thought about coming to the U.S.," he said. "I wanted to go back, but the people at home and here said don't go, that the government was still looking for me."
"America is a unique country because it allows people to be free," said Bashir. "In Africa, in Sudan, it is not free. Missionaries are not allowed to go around freely. As local priests, they try to control us."
While this difference of American culture was welcome, other differences, such as the existence of nursing homes, was "shocking." The first time he celebrated Mass in a nursing home, Bashir asked one of the priests if the residents had no relatives.
"For us, we don't allow our elderly people or mothers to be alone," Bashir explained. "We have to take care of them, we believe God wants us to do that. But here, everyone is busy, working."
Shootings are also different. A shooting in Sudan is connected to a military or rebel movement. In the U.S., shootings occur for individual reasons, a cost of individual freedoms.
After completing his education at Xavier, Bashir was unable to find work in the church. He traveled to Nashville, Tenn., where he worked as a war relief case manager and a U.S. postal clerk, until he lost his job at the start of the economic recession.
Last year, an advocacy group focused on the Nuba region brought Bashir to Des Moines to speak on the situation in his country. After the conference, he spoke to Bishop Richard Pates about positions in the diocese. After a temporary stint in Des Moines, Bashir spent seven months in Osceola before arriving in Denison in July.
Bashir and Father Paul Kelly preach at alternate Masses at the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Denison. Bashir also meets with students and celebrates Mass in Iowa nursing homes each week, in addition to serving on the board of Kuemper Catholic School System in Carroll.
He is anxiously waiting to see how much snow will fall in his new region of Iowa. A form of precipitation uncommon to Sudan, Bashir describes it as beautiful but said he still doesn't like it, especially when he has to drive on snow-slicked roads.
In 2005, a second peace agreement was signed, and in 2011, South Sudan peacefully succeeded in an election that led to celebrations in the streets of Juba, selected as the new country's capital. However, disputes over oil resources and contested border regions led to renewed fighting in the South Kordofan and Blue Nile states in 2012. According to the Washington, D.C.-based nongovernmental organization United to End Genocide, nearly 500,000 people have been displaced so far by this latest conflict in the Nuba Mountains while the Sudanese government continues to block access for humanitarian-aid organizations.
Bashir has two brothers and four sisters still in Sudan, as well as extended family. Two of his sisters remain in the Nuba Mountains, but his other siblings are among those displaced by the recent turmoil.
"The government, maybe last month, bombed my area, my village. We lost almost 20 people," he said. "Every now and then they are bombing. Those who are not lucky, they die."
A little more than a year ago, Bashir, now in his 50s, returned to Sudan for the first time.
"Everything changed completely," he said, extending his hands. "I remember areas full of trees, all destroyed. People were gone - so many relatives I lost within that period. Small lakes, dry completely; human beings scattered everywhere."
Though Bashir is able to travel freely with his U.S. passport, his family and friends feared for his safety.
"I told them, even if they kill me, they won't kill my spirit - my spirit is with Christ. But they say, 'No, we need your body here,'" he said with a laugh.
He misses his culture, the food and the traditional dances. Though he was not able to stay, he still hopes to one day return home for good. Bashir said he sees his country in "real need," its youth scattered and without access to schools.
He also wants to share Christ with his people.
"I feel my faith growing every day, I think, that's why it makes me happy," he said. "Even though I went through so many difficulties, nothing discouraged me."
However, Bashir does not see a practical solution to the conflict in his homeland unless the current leader is removed from power or the international community intervenes.
"If there is (peace), I go," he said. "If there's not peace, I might still decide to go."

First the news, followed by quotes in a little bit:
Same lineup, unless one of the dinged-up guys (presumably Fedotenko, but not definitely) can't play. As of now, John Tortorella expects everybody to play, and Newbury was brought up for "precautionary" reasons.
Another item, which has been mis-reported (and then re-mis-reported here). The Rangers still have non-injury recalls left. They can bring up a player from Connecticut at any time, without it being an injury emergency.
And finally, to repeat what Mitch Beck said, Newbury just played three games in three nights, so this would be his fourth in four. Which is inhumane. And Zuccarello, who had played on consecutive nights before his demotion, then played three in three nights in Connecticut … so this would be his sixth in six if he had been recalled. Yikes.
John Tortorella:
On Newbury:
"Precautionary. Just, we've got some dings. So we just want to make sure. … (not planning on playing him)."
On the challenges of remaining positive and not worrying about what a mistake at his point could mean:
"We're ready to play. We're positive. We're not looking anywhere but tonight's game. The mindset of this hockey club is right where it needs to be."
On where Drury is in his rehab (he skated again today):
"No idea. I have much more things to worry about than the injured guys right now."
On Lundqvist's play recently:
"Well, I think he has, at least for me since I've been here, I think this is the highest level he's played at. I think the plan that we had with him as far as not grinding him through the year, Biron coming in, it's been a huge part to why we have an opportunity to keep playing here, for where we want to go, is the play of Biron and getting (Lundqvist) out of the net from time to time. And I just think he has decided he wants to put the team on his shoulders and he just has got the fight in him. It's probably the highest level I've seen him play at, since I've been here.
On the tail-off of the Rangers' success in the second of back-to-backs, which was spectacular earlier in the season:
"I have no idea (if it's normal).
Has he noticed it's tailed off?
"No. I know we haven't won, but I haven't noticed … I can't even remember them, all the games. But right now, we're in the playoffs right now. This is what it is. So back to back, that doesn't even come into our thinking.
"You can't be tired. At this point in the season, you can't be tired. And to me, I think as a group — as writers, as people, I think we talk players into being tired. I think you can will yourself to get through, and I think you can will yourself to be tired. We're ready to play."
On Lundqvist playing all of them since the Biron injury, and whether he would have anyway:
"I think Marty probably would have gotten a couple more along the way. Again, I don't know. It's hard to say. But when Marty went down, we were at a number that we talked about as far as what (Lundqvist) was going to play. We were satisfied. Listen, Marty did some good things for us. He not only played, but the backup has to win. And he won some important games for us along the way. So we were comfortable at that point in time that Henrik would be able to carry the load. I think Henrik has shown, and again, he's grown there as far as mental toughness as far as I'm concerned. I think he's really grown, and continues."
On playing at home, and improving at home:
"We're fighting and we're not out, so we're where we want to be. It doesn't matter where we're playing. We have an opportunity to get where we want to be, so yeah. Would we like to be clinched with 17 games over .500? Yeah. We're not, but we're in a good spot here. I thought we showed a very good quiet confidence about ourselves in how we approached, after the Islander game, how we approached our business, and I thought grinded our way through a pretty tough game, a pretty emotional game yesterday to find a way to win. So we're ready to play."
On whether he needs to play more players more minutes because of fatigue tonight:
"No. I need to get more people involved along the way, but having said that, I'm not sure what's going to happen. I don't go in with a blueprint of a game and say, 'I'm going to get this guy 15, this guy 15, that guy …' It depends on situations. It depends on penalties, all sorts of things that run into it. But I believe, as I start the game, I want to try to get everybody involved and we'll make our decisions from there."
Same lineup, same lines, "probably."
On the how the young players have reacted down the stretch:
"They've reacted very well. This is a great experience for them. Not only for now, but for the future as we continue to build the team. So, we've gone through adversity all year long with some of the injuries we've gone through, guys put in spots we weren't sure of even having them there. But I think our team has responded, right from our back end right on through. This is what our team is. Our team is built on youth. And we're very comfortable as far as how we approach this next week."
On Gaborik's play recently:
"He's moving his legs. He's moving his legs. I think we need to get some goals out of him hopefully, but he defended pretty well yesterday away from the puck, his legs are beginning to move more consistently. If that keeps growing I think he'll help us along the way."
On how the team found its game after the Buffalo and Islanders games:
"Again, listen, we stunk on the Island. We haven't stunk much this year. We haven't gone away from who we are that much this year. I think our players know they need to be who they are and do it on the ice for us to have any chance. I feel very comfortable that these guys will be ready to play, and play the right way."
On whether the team has a mindset of, 'Win and you're in' no matter what the other teams do:
"We're not looking by … we're taking each day at a time. We've talked about this for a number of weeks now as far as it's ramped up here and where we're at in the standings. So, I know they look at the standings. I can sit here and tell you I don't, but I do. But you need to take it one day at a time, and that's what we're trying to do. So we're just concerned about this game. It's going to be a tough game. This is a really good hockey club and this is going to be a tough game for us, but I think we'll be ready to play."
Asked who would have been the third guy in the shootout (and remember, the coach has to submit his three-man lineup beforehand, if I'm not mistaken):
"I have no idea."
On Girardi and Staal playing so many minutes yesterday, and if there's a concern about that:
"No. It depends on how the game goes. They've been up about those minutes most of the year. Yesterday there was quite a bit. I think there was probably three or four (more) minutes. But I think guys, at this time of year, because we consider this playoffs, want to be on the ice. I thought they played very well. Danny just did a great job blocking shots, doing a lot of little things. Marc fought through some things early on and then got his game going. I just think the enthusiasm and what this is about and what it's for overrides all that stuff. Again, I'm just not a big believer, especially at this time of year, in players being tired. I think that can be overcome by a mindset."

Once again it was a successful year for our Annual Celebrating Elephants fundraiser. The event was split into two days; one full day at the Zoo where families came out to see fun enrichment for the elephants on exhibit, and also got the
opportunity for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of our barn set-up, including a training and foot care demo with one of our elephants. Kids also had the opportunity to create fun enrichment boxes and bags for the elephants to eat, enjoy the animal-free Circus Finelli, and eat popcorn and cotton candy! The second part of the event was the evening lecture and silent auction where guests enjoyed wine and delicious appetizers while they bid on beautiful animal themed gift baskets, art work and photos. Most importantly, we had a guest speaker, the wonderful Winnie Kiiru, one of Amboseli's top PhD students who studies and works to help with human-elephant conflict. Winnie was a captivating and enthusiastic speaker, offering insight into the lives of the Maasai people and how they work to live with the elephants.
This event is very important to the Oakland Zoo for two reasons. The first reason is that all the proceeds go to Cynthia Moss's Amboseli Trust for Elephants (www.elephanttrust.org ). Cynthia has been working on elephant conservation in Kenya for almost forty years; the longest running research study on African Elephants in the world. Mostly everything we know about these majestic creatures is due to Cynthia and her team's effort and passion for the conservation and well-being of these animals.
The second reason for this event is to raise awareness of the cruelty to animals in circuses. During the behind-the-scenes barn tour, guests spend about thirty minutes learning how elephants should be managed in captivity through positive reinforcement and protective barriers. They are shown a training demo on how keepers can safely work with elephants in a gentle and positive way (See my Let Elephants Be Elephants blog for more details on this management style).
We are proud to say that this year we raised over 18,000 dollars for Amboseli. All of the proceeds from the day and
the evening events go directly to support Cynthia's research to protect the elephants. Over the past fifteen years, we have donated more than $200,000 for Amboseli. Thank you to everybody who was able to make it to the day or the lecture. We hope you had lots of fun! If you didn't join us this year make sure to come out next year (May 19 and 26, 2012) to help us celebrate how truly wonderful elephants are and to learn more about the Amboseli elephants by Cynthia herself. See you then!
Also, if you love to watch elephants. Don't miss Feast for the Beasts on July 23. During this fun event, the public is invited to donate produce to the animals. The first 250 guests through the door will receive a special ticket that allows them to place produce inside of the elephant exhibit. Once all the produce in place, Zoo visitors get to watch our four elephants devour watermelons, apples, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and much more. It is fun for the whole family. The doors open at 9:00am for Feast for the Beasts, so arrive early!

Perhaps it is inevitable that companies continue to perform their core business even after they have spectacularly messed up, but sometimes it does take your breath away.
The temptation to tell ratings agency Moody's about the beam in its own eye is almost irresistible. Yesterday it downgraded the operational rating of some funds because:
… Marathon's investment and liquidity risk monitoring processes, although very strong, could be enhanced by incorporating additional shocks into a global stress test. In Moody's view, such additional stress testing would have strengthened Marathon's ability to cope with the market dislocation over the past year. Moody's noted that the quality of all of the funds' other major operational areas, such as valuation, operations, corporate functions and service providers continue to be viewed as excellent. Moody's believes the valuation processes and back office operations have functioned particularly well during the recent periods of great market stress.
Moody's is one of the companies currently being sued for alleged 'negligent misrepresentation' in its ratings of special investment vehicles, and part of an industry sector widely blamed for having failed to understand the cumulative impact of the risks it was rating.
The pot is calling the kettle black. And in this case, the pot is the sooty item and the kettle only a little tarnished.

The Forgotten Exodus
The University of Miami's Department of Religious Studies is partnering with Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Sephardi Voices United Kingdom to interview the Middle Eastern and North African Jews who have resettled all over the world. University of Miami professor Henry Green is leading the international effort task to assemble oral histories from Sephardi Jews who fled North Africa, the Middle East, and Iran after World War II.
Green calls it the "forgotten exodus." "If we don't capture their stories, there will not be witnesses and their memories will be lost, " he said. Many Sephardi Jews interviewed for the UM project described mob attacks, beatings random violence, discrimination and harsh government measures that began in the late 1940s. Green said he is determined to interview as many people as possible to make sure these graphic memories are remembered. Many survivors are in their 70s and even 80s.
As part of Professor Green's fall 2010 Senior Seminar course, Religion 408, students had the opportunity to contribute to all aspects of this project. Students enrolled in the course were trained on interview etiquette for several hours before conducting the nine interviews that have taken place so far in Miami. Graduate students from the School of Communication were hired to film and assist with post-production. Green hopes to conducted approximately 50 more interviews in the Miami area with continued student involvement.
