Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/12/2012 (1703 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife is a bit nuts when it comes to Christmas. She always likes to put the kids to bed, get a little tipsy on champagne and do the wild thing with me under the Christmas tree. This year our kids are not in cribs. They are old enough to hear something and come out of their big boy beds to see what's happening in the living room. I told her the tree nonsense was off this year. I don't want our kids traumatized by their parents. My wife is not so sensible. She went into a big sulk and said, "Well, that's the end of the fun in this marriage if you're going to start being a wet blanket. This was what made Christmas special between us." I told her she might be immature, but I wasn't going to take foolish chances, and all the fun would have to be in the bedroom from now on. She gave me "the look" and called me the worst name in the book she has for me -- "you %$*& accountant." I don't see how we can fix this. Do you? -- Boring Accountant, Tuxedo
Dear Accountant: Get creative, Boring Accountant. Go to the hardware store, and for a few dollars, buy some little hooks for the kids doors. Only hook them for the time you are under the tree playing Santa Baby. Then unhook them, and go to bed. Next day you can remove them until next year. If the kids want you during the time you're under the tree with Mrs. Santa, they will certainly bang on the door. Tell them if they hear a little noise in the living room and it wakes them up, "Don't go out and catch Santa putting out the toys. Call loudly for mom or dad. A little low music should disguise any lovemaking sounds. (You can do fun stuff, and have kids too!)
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I think I'm in love with the man who lives two doors down. We share a love of Christmas yard decorations and got to know each other by having a friendly competition the last few years to see who could do the best lighting. I should confess I'm not as single as he is. (He's separated.) My husband, who bores me stiff, still lives with me. The kids are 18 and 19 and gone off to university. Well, a few nights ago I phoned my neighbour and went over to present him with a prize as he had clearly outdone me this year. He graciously invited me right into his home, for the first time, and I was astounded. It was kind of James Bond-ish and I was intrigued by the fireplace and the big fur rug and the sexy chocolate brown leather furniture and everything on such a large scale. (He's a big guy himself). I felt like a doll perched on his sofa. He poured me some champagne and we had a wonderful visit. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and passed by his bedroom. OMG. It had a giant leather bed and satin sheets with the sheet turned down and a big candle thing burning in it with fur branches all around on a table, with an ice bucket. I felt him put his arms around me from behind. He had walked into the hallway and caught me staring at this bed. I asked him if was expecting someone over, and he said, "Yes, you." Well, that was it. You can guess what happened. I went home later and I didn't even feel guilty. I felt happy and loved to death. Now what do I do? He said he'd been waiting for me to come to him. I know I am about to have an affair on my own street. He told me he had fallen in love with me over the last two years. Oh My God! Now what do I do from here? -- Falling In Love, Winnipeg
Dear Falling: You have some decisions to make, so how about you stay home until you make them? If you want to be single to be with this fellow, you have to leave your husband. You could stay until you get caught, but that's a terrible idea. The neighbours will catch on fairly quickly once they see you going over to visit the single guy on the street and staying for hours. So, since you and this guy are to become an item, it's best you split with your husband and you get out of the neighbourhood and have the new man in your life over to your place. Try to be as classy as possible in an already unclassy situation and stay at home these Christmas holidays. Christmas is a terrible time to break up a marriage, so hang on and address the breakup in January.

Reagan boys shake off 2nd-round struggles in shutout of Clark
Updated 1:14 am, Friday, April 6, 2012
Many of the members of the Reagan boys soccer team weren't around the previous two years when dominating regular seasons ended in second-round heartbreak.
That didn't mean that this season's Rattlers weren't aware of the situation. More importantly, it made them more determined to end the slide.
Freshman Miguel Velasquez scored twice as top-ranked Reagan cruised past Clark 3-0 on Thursday in a Class 5A second-round game at Comalander Stadium.
"It was definitely in the back of our minds," Reagan senior defender Ben Godwin said. "We were back-to-back undefeated district champs, but losing the past two years has been tough. We made it a goal to kind of put it in the past, and just focused on today.''
The Rattlers' focus was put to the test, as Clark (19-3-4) was the aggressor early.
But Velasquez tallied the first of his two goals, scoring on a header with eight minutes remaining in the first half.
Sports Channel
"At first, we weren't playing our game," Velasquez said. "We weren't possessing like we always do.
"We were trying to force things. After the first goal, I think we got calm.''
The Rattlers (21-1-3) added two goals in the second half, with Roberto Velazquez scoring in the 43rd minute, and Velasquez putting in a pass from Victor Rios in the 65th.
Jay 2, Churchill 1: Alex Santamaria scored twice as the Mustangs rallied from an early deficit to knock off the Chargers. Will Dunaway scored Churchill's goal.
O'Connor 3, Judson 2: Ryan Hoskins scored two goals, and Nic Amaya added one for the Panthers.
Alamo Heights 1, Edison 0: Luke Donnelly scored off a pass from Robert Weigel in the second half as the Mules topped the Golden Bears.
Floresville 2, Rockport-Fulton 1: Jorge Campos and Godswill Orzabal each scored goals as the Tigers moved to the 4A fourth round for the first time. Elijah Sanchez had two assists.
New Braunfels 2, Brandeis 0: The Unicorns scored twice in the game's final six minutes, stunning top-ranked Brandeis at Farris Stadium.
Bonnie Charlton put in a goal on a free kick in the 75th minute. Reyna Garcia added the clincher when she ran onto a long clearance after a Brandeis corner kick, chipping in a shot from the top of the penalty area.
"This was just huge," said New Braunfels coach Elena Morton, whose team defeated defending regional champion Johnson 1-0 on Monday. "I can't even wrap my mind around it.''
Smithson Valley 3, Boerne Champion 2: Sioned Kirkpatrick scored two goals and assisted on another as the Rangers prevailed in overtime.
Gabby Rodriguez scored the other goal for Smithson Valley.
With the loss, Champion was denied a fourth straight trip to the Region IV-4A tournament.
The Chargers had played in the past three regional finals, advancing to the state tournament in 2009 and 2010.
Churchill 3, Marshall 0: Lauren Peck and Natalie Wellman each scored and assisted on goals as the Chargers advanced to the third round for the first time since 2009.
Krystel Wolfe had the other goal for Churchill. Colette Callan had an assist.
Reagan 1, O'Connor 0: Sophia Acevado put in Temira Pearcy's pass as the Rattlers advanced to the third round for the 12th straight year.
MacArthur 2, CC Carroll 1: Courtney Bertholf scored one goal and assisted on another as the Brahmas (advanced to the third round for the sixth time in the past eight seasons.
Brianna Livecchi had the other goal for MacArthur, and Mattie Morris had an assist.
Alamo Heights 2, Dripping Springs 0: Karey Tylman scored twice as the Mules blanked the Tigers.
Elisabeth Uhl and Camilla Brusenhan had the assists.

ORGANISERS of events to commemorate the First World War in Earby later this year said they had been 'overwhelmed' by the initial response.
A coffee morning was held at the weekend by Earby and District Local History Society to launch their plans for the anniversary later this year.
The highlights will be a book and exhibition on the effects of World War One on Earby and its people.
Bob Abel, society member, said: "We had a very good turnout at the coffee morning, in fact we were quite overwhelmed by it.
"It was a chance to launch the commemorations and gauge interest, and there does seem to be a lot of interest.
"It gave people a flavour of what we want to do or the commemorations later in the year.
"The Great War of 1914 to 1919 is now virtually out of living memory.
"However memory can be and is handed down through the generations of a family.
"Sometimes photographs, postcards, letters or even diaries of the period have survived.
"Most people will have a family member who was swept up in the events 100 years ago. Many will have an ancestor who didn't return."
The group is appealing for anybody with photographs, memorabilia, letters or diaries relating to the First World War, and especially how Earby coped with the war, to get in touch with them.
It is also planning to create a permanent World War One archive for future generations to use.

Students join global campaign to stop violence
February 7th, 2013 |
Did you know one out of every three women on the planet will be beaten or raped during their lifetime? With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls.
To bring awareness to this staggering statistic, the Peace and Justice Club at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) unites with activists around the world for One Billion Rising on February 14, 2013. One Billion Rising is the largest day of action in the history of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.
SMWC joins with writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world as to express outrage, demand change, strike, dance, and rise in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women. The movement invites supporters to move the earth by dancing in every country in a display of collective strength and solidarity.
"Many people know about violence against women but most won't talk about it," said Nora Dalipi, president of The Peace and Justice Club and human resource management major. "We have several activities planned that week as it all culminates with a dance. The dance is symbolically meant to shake the earth and hear one global voice."
The Peace and Justice Club has partnered with the community to extend the reach to the local collegiate community. Assisting in this effort are Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Pi Kappa Alpha – Iota Delta (PIKE) Fraternity and Indiana State University, Society for Human Resource Management – collegiate chapter.

For a long time after Hazrat Mahdi (as) begins work after his appearance in the early Hijri 1400s, only a very few people will know that he is Hazrat Mahdi (as). Our Prophet (saas) received the prophethood at the age of 40, but very few people knew that he was a prophet at that time. The same thing applies to many prophets.
Bediuzzaman Said Nursi also says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not be recognized when he first appears. He says that initially even Hazrat Mahdi (as) himself will be unaware that he is the Mahdi of the End Times. In this passage, he says that only a very few believers of deep faith can recognize the Prophet Jesus (as), Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the antichrist, whom he refers to as the personages of the End Times.
However, as we said, this world is the arena of trial. The door is opened to the reason, but the will is not taken from the hand. SO, WHEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS, and even the terrible antichrist, APPEAR, MANY PEOPLE AND EVEN HIMSELF WILL NOT KNOW TO START WITH THAT HE IS THE ANTICHRIST. THOSE INDIVIDUALS OF THE END OF TIME WILL BE KNOWN THROUGH THE INSIGHT AND THE LIGHT OF BELIEF. (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Words / Twenty-Fourth Word - Third Branch, p. 355)
The great scholar and mujaddid Sayyid Muhammad ibn Rasul al-Hussein al-Barzanji of Medina makes the following statement in his expanded work "Al-Isha'at ul Ishraat us Saa'at" (Portents of the Judgment Day), referring to Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar by Ibn Hajar al-Haythami: "ALL THESE TRADITIONS ARE TRUE IN TERMS OF THEIR OCCURRENCE AND SOUNDNESS." In other words, ALL THE DIFFERENT TIMINGS SET OUT IN THE HADITHS ARE TRUE, AND THESE TIMINGS REFER TO DIFFERENT PERIODS IN THE LIFE OF HAZRAT MAHDI (AS), WHO, BY ALLAH'S LEAVE, WILL HAVE A LONG LIFE, as reported by the Prophet (saas).
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will possess certain characteristics of earlier prophets. Among these is his being long-lived, LIKE THE PROPHET ADAM (AS) AND THE PROPHET NOAH (AS)."(Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, Ansariyan Publications, collected by: Muhammad Baqr al-Majlisi, Iran-Qum, 2003, p. 217)
The following account is the statement on pages 185 and 186 of the Turkish edition of Sayyid al-Barzanji's Portents of the Judgment Day and notes the different periods of service during Hazrat Mahdi's (as) tenure:
Muhammad ibn Rasul al-Hussein al-Barzanji makes the following important statements:
First, the Prophet (saas) says much about his community, the Ahl al-Bayt. He has described how they will be rescued from all kinds of oppression and persecution. This is dependent on a justice that will be applied over a long period. Short times such as seven or nine years are insufficient.
Second, just like Dhu'l Qarnayn (as) and Solomon (as), Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rule the whole world. He will establish mosques and buildings in other countries, and a short time such as nine years will be inadequate for his intellectual struggle and other activities.
Third, life spans will be extended in his time. THE PROLONGATION OF LIFE SPANS MEANS THAT HE WILL ALSO BE LONG-LIVED... Otherwise, the extension of life spans would be meaningless.
Fourth, he will make a four-year peace treaty with the people of Rum. Under that he will live in Constantinople for seven years. His going to and leaving there twice will of course take years. The same applies to his intellectual struggle against the Sufyan. Because as described above, the Sufyan will abrogate the treaty three years after swearing allegiance to him, after which he will have to struggle him on the level of ideas.
His spiritual conquest of India and other countries will naturally take many years. What I have described is also found in various traditions.
All these things show that the period of his sovereignty will last longer than nine years. That being the case, SEVEN YEARS ARE TOTALLY RESTRICTED TO HIS FULL RULE OVER ALL COUNTRIES, AND NINETEEN YEARS TO HIS INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST THE SUFYAN, HIS INTELLECTUAL DEFEAT OF HIM, HIS [SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL] CONQUEST OF COUNTRIES AND ALL PEOPLE COMING UNDER HIS COMMAND... (in other words, the time involved in this is a period of nineteen years...)
I have stated above: He will make nine years of peace with the Rum, his intellectual struggle against and victory over them will take approximately ten years. His entry into Sham, the Sufyan swearing allegiance to him, and then retracting that allegiance three years later, and his thus embarking on an intellectual struggle against him and the passage of a number of years thereafter will take up a total of twenty-four years... His entry into Mecca, his demolition of the intellectual system of the Amr of Mecca, and therefore HIS SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL CONQUEST OF ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE HEJAZ WILL TAKE SOME FORTY YEARS... Then, his spiritual and intellectual conquest of all countries and the appearance of Hasheem of Khorasan will take no little time! ... It is likely that he will then rule for nine years or less following the descent of the Prophet Jesus (as)... (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, pp. 185-186)
As we have seen, the great Islamic scholar Muhammad Ibn Rasul al-Hussain al-Barzanji describes various periods during Hazrat Mahdi's (as) time of service and says it will take this great mujaddid some 40 years to cause the moral values and virtues of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas) to rule the world. During that time, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be occupied with plots and conspiracies against him, and imprisonment, and there will be a period of ghaybah (absence, concealment). In addition, the hadiths say he will have a group of 313 followers, and he will sincerely work to bring them together and strengthen their faith. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also go through a period of imprisonment, after which he will put an end to the captivity of Muslims and eliminate all the pain, suffering and oppression they face. He will also strive to establish the Qur'anic moral values among people and to set up the Turkish-Islamic Union. However, none of these activities will be completed in as short a time as 7 or 10 years, and each one will take a very long time.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also engage in construction work in countries across the world and erect buildings and masjids where Muslims can worship freely. However, this work will be accomplished over a much longer period of time than 9 years. On the other hand, he will be engaged in an intellectual struggle against the system of the Sufyan, and his spiritual campaign against the hypocrites who make that system up will last for many years. In fact, it will take the next 24 years. It will also take him a very long time to achieve the spiritual conquest of the countries of the world, in other words, to bring about the acceptance of the moral values and virtues of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas). Al-Barzanji says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will strive for 40 years to bring about the global dominion of Islamic moral values as a result of these activities. This is significant evidence that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will certainly not be recognized the moment he appears in Hijri 1400 and that all these activites listed above will take a very long time, at least 40 years; in other words, 40, 50 or 60 years.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/9/2013 (1444 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A contrite Justin Goltz faced the media Saturday afternoon, saying he'd learned from his mistakes during the past week -- on the field and off of it -- and vowing to do better when he makes his second consecutive start at quarterback for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers today at Investors Group Field.
"This week was humbling and a learning experience to say the least -- on the field and off of it," Goltz said after the Bombers staged one final light practice in advance of today's Banjo Bowl clash with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
'One of the the things I learned this week was that it's not all about Justin Goltz. It's about this team, it's about getting wins'-- Justin Goltz
"One of the things I learned this week was that it's not all about Justin Goltz. It's about this team, it's about getting wins. And if I'm out there being the leader I need to be, I think the wins will come."
Goltz found himself a centre of controversy over the past week. A pair of touchdown celebrations he did in Regina last Sunday in a loss to Saskatchewan created a minor tempest, particularly in Regina, where fans were angry that one of Goltz's celebrations borrowed mockingly from the one their beloved tailback, Kory Sheets, performs after TDs.
Mea culpa, said Goltz. "If there's any regret, that's one thing I kind of regret," said Goltz. "I'm not naive, I know there's a lot I have to prove in this league... And even if I have proven myself, it doesn't give me the right to mock anyone else.
"It was just a high energy, emotional thing that kind of came out. If I did my own thing, that's one thing. But to mock another guy? I understand the criticism of that."
Goltz's comments marked an abrupt about-face. When he was asked about the controversy earlier in the week, Goltz lashed out at the media, saying they'd overblown the episode and were "picking on me."
Goltz also took back those comments on Saturday.
"You guys are just doing your job -- I understand that," he said to the assembled media. "And I need to be mature enough to understand you guys are just doing your job. I need to go out and do my job and let the chips fall where they may."
Goltz said earlier this week he won't do any individual celebration should he score a TD today -- at the urging of head coach Tim Burke and because he also believes the issue has become a distraction.
But that doesn't mean he will sit on his hands, either, should the moment arrive.
"I'm going to be excited about it, really excited," said Goltz. "It's something to be excited about and celebratory about when you score, because they don't come easy in this league. They haven't come easy for us this year...
"I can't tell you I'm going to do one thing or the other. But I know it will involve my teammates and be a lot more low key than it was last week."

Zenyatta, who ran her unbeaten streak to 17 with a
stirring victory in the Vanity Handicap on June 13, was voted Horse of the Meet
in the annual media poll as the 57-day spring-summer season concluded Sunday.

A £250,000 bid to build a sports hall for young people in Ilkley has been put on hold until the future of Bradford Council-run youth services in the town is known.
Ward councillor Martin Smith, who is also chairman of charity Ilkley Youth and Community Association, says the proposed project to build the hall at the rear of the Warehouse youth centre, Little Lane, is now on hold, until the position of Bradford Council's budget is clearer.
The sports hall would provide a venue for winter volleyball, winter cricket nets, five-a-side football and badminton, as well as much-needed facilities for disabled groups.
Coun Smith (Con, Ilkley) says plans for the sports hall have already been presented to funding bodies and an architect is ready to submit a planning application, but the uncertainty about the youth service means it is necessary to delay the scheme.
About 40 per cent of the funds have already been raised.
Coun Smith said: "The Ilkley Youth and Community Association has a lease on the youth club premises and is a charity of some longevity and funds from lettings have gone to upgrade the service in Ilkley.
"The service needs to continue in partnership with our schools, with the Council, police, Jobcentre Plus and with our health team at Airedale as health and welfare are a keen focus of the work at the Warehouse, linked with much enjoyable activity during the club meetings.
"Our business community could take part in the partnership. However, we shall need grants or charges from our partners to balance the books."
He has suggested that Government money made available to Bradford Council through the New Homes Bonus scheme could be redirected to the youth service, therefore assisting housing tenants.

With its reclaimed wood, communal picnic tables, and an American flag made out of beer cans, you could say the atmosphere at The Rustic is yuppie-meets-cowboy. At night, live music acts perform outdoors on the backyard stage while those hiding from the aroma of burning oak and pecan wood eat indoors. The menu offers dishes like cactus fritters, chorizo empanadas filled with housemade sausage, and grilled Texas quail. Of course you can order a local draught beer or a cocktail made with Texas spirits to go along with it, and all the restaurant's local suppliers and farmers are highlighted on the menu.
It's fitting that a selection of decadent yet cozy pies would round out the dessert section of the menu. By dessert section, I mean pie section—they're the only sweets option at The Rustic. It was near impossible to choose from their offerings of key lime, banoffee, and chocolate silk, but in the end I trusted a local's recommendation of peanut butter. As the waitress placed the towering piece of quivering pie on our picnic table, I noticed it was loaded with halved peanuts and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
I dunked my spoon into the silky peanut butter layer. It was a perfect cloud of sweet and salty and nutty flavor. But the unsalted peanuts, which had previously looked so alluring, detracted from the smooth texture of the mousse with their bland ways. The bitter chocolate layer, in contrast, was like chilled butter, dense and cool on the tongue. I found myself eating the two layers separately because the chocolate tended to overpower the peanut butter. My only other complaint? The cookie crust didn't do much but act as a cradle for the decadent fillings.

When was the last time you wore a shoe that actually cared about your health? Yeah, I'm with you. I didn't think they were out there either. That was until I was sent a pair of Earthies.
Created more than 40 years ago by a Danish Yoga instructor, Earthies were one of the first to give consumers "a true whole-body wellness experience-footwear with a slight sole incline that re-positioned the wearer's body more naturally over their frame."
"Delivering on the promise of "Wellness. Elevated ", every Earthies® style features a unique wellness footbed. A cupped heel sets the foot into the proper supported position. An anatomic arch increases touch points along the transition from the heel to forefoot. And, a cradle toe area evenly distributes weight away from the toes." -Earthbrands.com
I decided on The Veria Too ($149) wedge. I will say I was pleasantly surprised with the design of this shoe. I thought it would be one of those that looked chic online and they when you got them they disappointed. Not here. I loved these from the moment I pulled them out of the box. These are made with comfort in mind, but if your foot has a flat arch you should be warned. The high arch of the shoe did bother me a little bit, it's the only thing that did. I admit I didn't wear them long enough to tell you how they perform over time. But my heel and toes were really comfortable. The upper part of the shoe is made of suede and the heel height is 2.56″.
Take a second to check out the Earthies collection here. They have sandals, wedges, platforms, and booties in different colors and styles. Have you ever worn Earthies? What did you think?

The NFL Combine kicks off this week and NFL will be there in full force to poke, prod and test the prospects on hand. Unfortunately, it is also a time where some bad news can arise for players during the process with the discovery of undiagnosed injuries. Injuries can also derail players for other reasons by preventing them from working out.Pittsburgh Steelers early in the 2013 NFL. Today, the agent for California wide receiver Keenan Allen announced that his client would not work out in Indianapolis after aggravating a knee injury during a Florida workout session.
For Allen, who missed three games late in the season due to the sprained knee, this could affect his status on draft boards. Yes, the 6-3, 195-pound junior will go through medical evaluations, he will not go through any of the drills or run his all-important 40-yard dash until a campus workout at Cal in April. While it is not expected that Allen will blow people away with his deceptive straight line speed, a 40-time in the 4.4 to 4.45 second range could have solidified his spot inside the top 20.
At this point, the setback to his PCL injury does not appear serious, as reports are he has received a sound check-up by famed surgeon James Andrews, the dynamic playmaker should be able to recover for missing this event, but there is always a chance that another wide out could seize the opportunity in his absence.
Allen, who is experienced both inside in the slot and outside, has enough tape to show his natural abilities, return skills and solid hands at the major college level. Sadly, without this workout, questions will remain about his place in the NFL until he can workout for scouts and show his timed speed.

One couple have special cause to celebrate the legalising of same-sex marriages.
For it means the wedding of Rob and Owen Claxton-Ingham in Canada in 2006 is now recognised in the UK.
The Otley pair wed in Canada because they could not marry in Britain at that time.
Now, the national Quaker movement says it 'rejoices' with the two men as same-sex marriage became law this week.
Elsewhere in the Bradford area, there was a mixed reception for the move. A Conservative MP voiced his fears for religious freedom, while a spokesman for gay organisation Bradford Pride described the new law as 'a landmark moment'.
At Bradford and Keighley Register Office, though, there were no bookings for a same-sex wedding on Saturday. A spokesman said: "We have nothing booked for Saturday in this district and there is no information regarding the next few days ahead."
Rob and Owen Claxton-Ingham met in 1992 at a gathering for young Quakers and ten years later adopted two children. They say that, for them, marriage is a 'spiritual and emotional experience'.
"It was important for us to make that commitment within an act of worship," said Rob.
Paul Parker, recording clerk for Quakers in Britain, said many Quakers 'have been longing for this day'. "Quakers see God in everyone and that leads us to say we are all born equal and our love is of equal worth too," he said.
Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, reiterated his opposition to the law. He voted against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill when it came before Parliament last year.
"This is not something I support," he said. "But I am a democrat and believe in a parliamentary democracy. I was in a minority and the Bill went through. I wish those who do get married under this law and who are now perfectly entitled to do so every success for the future. There is nothing personal here. It is simply a policy I don't support.
"And that view is basically about religious freedom. What I fear in particular is that one day churches will be forced against their will to marry same-sex couples. That would be an intolerable situation."
Richard Scullion of Bradford Pride said: "We welcome this huge step forward towards equality. It is a landmark moment for many loving couples who have been denied equality and discriminated against."
A number of religious groups have welcomed the law.
Faiths other than Quakers which will marry same-sex couples include Liberal Judaism and the Movement for Reform Judaism.
The issue has divided the Church of England, but the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby has hinted that the Church will no longer resist gay marriage among churchgoers.
Last month, bishops tried to ban clergy from marrying same-sex partners, sparking criticism from more liberal Christians who support the change.
The Archbishop said that the Church should demonstrate in word and action the love of Christ for every human being'.

CUSTOMERS paying for super-fast mobile services in Worcester say they cannot get connected - and have no idea when they will be able to.
The 4G broadband service was rolled out in major cities by mobile provider EE, the company that owns T-Mobile and Orange, in August 2012.
But it has yet to reach Worcester on EE or any other network provider, and no one can say when it will, despite many people having signed up for contracts including the service.
Chris Clayton, of Warndon Villages, Worcester, said when he took his 4G contract out in August last year, he thought he would be getting the services in a matter of weeks.
He said: "It was all over the TV last year when it was the new thing and now we are paying for all these services, because they said they were rolling it out across the country, and as far as I'm concerned, they've not rolled it out any more than when I took out the contract."
Mr Clayton pays £41 a month and is committed for 24-months but has to go to Birmingham to have the coverage he pays an extra £11 a month for compared to his previous 3G contract amount.
Hazel Davis, from Worcester, said she was recently upgraded to a 4G contract and now pays £39.99 a month for a service she does not receive.
And it is not just Worcester suffering from the lack of network, as James Dodd, from Upton upon Severn, who is on the same plan as Mr Clayton, has not yet been able to connect near his home.
"I took out a contract with EE with a 4G service as it was part of an early upgrade offer," he said.
"The closest locations I've managed to use 4G is Cheltenham and Birmingham."
When contacted regarding coverage in Worcestershire, an EE spokesman said: "If any of our customers have enquiries about their accounts, they can contact our customer services teams in store, over the phone or online."
Lee Freeman, a Vodafone customer in Worcester, upgraded his contract eight months ago but has yet to get connected outside of the capital city.
He said: "I had text come through saying, '4G is now in your area! Reply yes and receive Spotify or Sky Sports free for 6 months.'
"It then automatically upgraded adding an extra £5 a month to my bill, I waited a couple of months and still wasn't getting 4G and if anything my 3G had got slower.
"I spoke to someone in store and they said, 'yeah, we haven't got 4G, the only place that has is London at the moment'.
"I said then why did they text me saying it is. His reply was, 'I don't know'."
The network said even though the city did not yet have coverage, people with 4G contracts would become automatically connected when it arrived.
A spokesman for Vodafone said: "While we are bringing 4G services across the country, we started with the major conurbations like London and Manchester. 4G is now available in 208 cities and towns.
"Our 4G handsets work on the existing network and will automatically use 4G when it becomes available."
But bucking the trend of expensive tariff upgrades, O2 have made the prices of 3G and 4G the same and have been upgrading people for free so they can use it when they are in a covered area.
An O2 spokesman said: "Last December we launched some new pay monthly 4G tariffs, making it easy for customers to experience O2 4G.
"As part of this we're also helping existing customers who have purchased a 4G-Ready handsets from us by adding our 4G service onto their 3G tariff at no extra cost, so they can experience some of the great benefits of O2 4G.
"We're contacting those customers now and over the coming weeks to let them know about getting 4G."
O2 customers can also register for updates on timescales on when 4G services will launch in specific areas by visiting o2.co.uk/4g/coverage-and-cities.
Mobile customers with other networks should visit their provider's websites to see a map of 2G, 3G and 4G networks that are available across the country.

Whoops! Robert Downey Jr. Forgot to Zip His Fly at the 'Iron Man 3' Premiere
Wardrobe malfunction alert! Robert Downey Jr. appears to have accidentally forgotten to zip up something important at the South Korean 'Iron Man 3' premiere.
-Lucia Peters
Between celebrating his 48th birthday and attending premiere after premiere for Iron Man 3, Robert Downey Jr. looks like he's been having the time of his life lately. In fact, it looks like he's been having so much fun that he's been forgetting a few other key things—like zipping his fly. Whoops.
Not that we're complaining, mind you; we just figured that anything involving various parts of Robert Downey Jr.'s, ahem, anatomy was worth bringing to your attention (yum!). The wardrobe malfunction was spotted by a couple of eagle-eyed media outlets after the South Korean premiere of Iron Man 3 last Thursday. In classic RDJ fashion, the man who would be Tony Stark paired his Vivienne Westwood tux (Fall 2013 collection, natch) with sneakers—and a gaping fly. In case it wasn't obvious enough, People made sure to point it out in no uncertain terms:

The Huffington Post, however, reminded us that Robert isn't the only star with zipper problems: Kate Moss told Grazia last June, "I've got a problem with zips. Sometimes I just forget to do them up! Running out the door! You know… just zips!" Most hilarious Kate Moss quote ever? Maaaaaybe.
Anyhoo, Iron Man 3 hits cinemas on May 3rd. Here's the trailer to get you pumped:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2013 (1693 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The annual slugfest that is the Labour Day Classic is about to introduce another juicy subplot.
Saskatchewan Roughriders special-teams coach Craig Dickenson announced his resignation from the club today and, within an hour, was linked to the same gig with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The Bombers won't confirm Dickenson's hiring, offering 'no comment as of right now', but a Canadian Football League source said the deal is still being finalized and it will get done.
Dickenson would replace Kyle Walters with the Bombers, as Walters has been bumped up to the assistant GM job.
Said Dickenson in a written statement to the Roughriders today:
"My decision to resign is based on off-season commitments I have made that I intend to honour and also to a conflict of schedule which could not be worked out. I appreciate the effort and work of the players and coaches I had the privilege of working with during my two years in Regina. I want to thank Coach Chamblin for hiring me and supporting me this past season. I especially want to thank and express my sincere appreciation to Jim Hopson, Brendan Taman, and Jeremy O'Day. Thank you Rider Nation for your support and enthusiasm these past two years."
Taman, the Rider GM, told reporters in Regina he thought Dickenson's decision came because he couldn't commit to being in Saskatchewan as much as the team had asked during the off-season.
Considered one of the best special-teams coaches in the CFL, Dickenson rejoins Bomber head coach Tim Burke and defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan. The three had previously worked together in Calgary.

» A major roadway is advanced, in violation of the consensus-based plan.
Yesterday, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) policy committee voted to approve the addition of a major new highway to the regional plan document. If built, the Illiana Expressway will run 47 miles between I-55 and I-65 in Illinois and Indiana, about 10 miles south of the existing built-up area of the Chicago region.
The project was supported by the relevant state departments of transportation as an essential complement to the existing mobility system and an economic development tool. But the decision to add it to the regional plan suggests a breakdown in what had been until recently a metropolitan-wide consensus about which projects to fund. Though the adoption of the project does not mean the end of the plan, it does imply that sticking to a regional plan in the face of political

VATS under double-lumen endotracheal intubated anesthesia
Detailed Description:
The thoracoscopic surgery always requires not only an appropriate depth of anaesthesia, but also a quiet and wide operative field. That's why anaesthesia plays a critical role in thoracoscopic surgery.
General double-lumen endotracheal intubated anesthesia with one-lung ventilation, has been accepted mandatory for Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) although several adverse effects can derive from this type of anesthesia like intubation-related throat injury, ventilator-induced lung injury, arrhythmia and so on. The investigators hypothesize that VATS could be performed under the no-intubated thoracic epidural anesthesia (NTEA) to avoid general anesthesia related risks.
Some cases have been reported to prove the safety and feasibility of NTEA in uncomplicated VATS. However, the comparison of NTEA and general anesthesia has been rarely investigated in such a larger magnitude number and such operation varieties. The investigators hypothesize NTEA could result in less inflammations, lower incidence of complications, less dosage of antibiotic, faster recovery eventually leading to a shorter hospital stay. For this reason, the investigators will undertaken a randomized trial comparing results of general VATS operations under NTEA versus those of a control group operated under general anesthesia with double-lumen endotracheal intubation.
A total of 500 patients will be included. The study will be performed in the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou Medical College.

A Fuzzy AnnoyanceRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
A fuzzy annoyance, am I?
I just wanted a piece of the pie
But when I took a peek
You saw me and shrieked
And jumped from the ground to the sky.
You are larger than me
And still, from me, you flee
Am I really so foul
That you holler and howl
And run to get away from me?
Is it my little pink nose
Or my tail, which firmly grows?
Is it my fur
That causes the stir
Or the fact that I feed on compost?
You try to catch me with cheese
Using it as a mere tease
But when I snatch the stack
A spring goes, "WHACK!"
But I escape with expertise.
What am I?

What Next?

LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland (Reuters) - Felix Neureuther finished the season in style when he won the campaign-ending slalom in Lenzerheide on Sunday and promised closer fights with World Cup winner Marcel Hirscher in the future.
The German avenged his World Cup defeat in the discipline by beating Hirscher by 0.36 seconds, in a combined time of one minute and 52.20 seconds.
The victory, his third this season, was especially sweet for Neureuther, who had to receive injections before the race after suffering with severe back pain.
"I was forced to ski very smoothly not to hurt the back. It was a great, consistent season but I'm glad it's over because I really need to rest," the German said.
"I think this season was a step up in my career and I hope this last win is a taste of what to expect next season. I know how hard I need to work to reach Marcel's level or to beat him. But it's an exciting prospect," he added.
Crowned overall World Cup champion for the second year in succession, Hirscher finished the season with 1,535 points, with nearest rival Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway 309 points adrift.
Hirscher also won the slalom globe. He showed amazing consistency in the discipline, winning five races and finishing on the podium in all 10 races he entered.
In the slalom standings, Hirscher beat his German rival and friend Neureuther by 244 points.
"It's been a great fight and all the more exciting as it was against Felix, who is simply my best friend," the Austrian said.
Hirscher, the first skier to retain the overall World Cup title since compatriot Stephan Eberharter ten years ago, said he felt less emotion than last year.
"It's not because I'm blase, but because last year, we had to fight until the very end. It was a very different situation," he said.
Veteran Croatian Ivica Kostelic was third, 0.51 seconds off the pace, in spite of lingering knee problems.
"Sometimes I wonder if I should receive surgery. It didn't hurt at all and I am glad to finish on a high note as the two previous seasons had ended in disappointment and pain," Kostelic said.

"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"These place cards are PERFECT and 100% what I was looking for! They look amazing in person and I was able to pick three colors of the star fish for our three different dinner options. The best part was the customer service that I received when ordering. The process was easy and stress-free. THANK YOU!"
"I requested the table line to be omitted as we only had one table, and it was done immediately. They also caught that I hadn't selected the pearl shimmer paper to match our menus. Great customer service!!"
"Really love these place cards - they are nicely oversized and leave plenty of room to print. I am using them with wine corks as the holder and cutting off the back side that is used to make them stand alone."
"Really happy with my purchase. Good service and quality. Can't wait to use them at my wedding!!! Looked at so many... Kept coming back to this. Very original and sweet design."

I have spent hours trying to get this to work:
$sql =
"SELECT message_instance.id, `clientid`,clientname, `messageid`, `day`, `time`, `timerepeat`, `timestop`, `startdate`, stopdate, msg FROM message_instance
LEFT OUTER JOIN message ON message.id = message_instance.messageid
LEFT OUTER JOIN client ON message_instance.clientid = client.id
WHERE message_instance.id = :id";
$s = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$s->bindValue(':id', $_POST['messinstance']);
catch (PDOException $e)
$output = 'Error displaying clients: ' . $e->getMessage();
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ."/vvvxxx/includes/output.html.php";
$row = $s->fetch();
$message = $row['msg'];
$messageinstanceid = $_POST['messinstance'];
include 'messageupdate.html.php';
I could not get
$messageinstanceid = $row['message_instance.id'];
to work for love nor money but then realized the POST variable was available and so have "sorted" the problem.
Grateful for any pointers as I will be hitting this a lot.
BTW tried using aliases but could not get that to work.
Oh also if you use
notation and put single quotes around the, they fail. Take the quotes of they work fine. So are the quotes a good idea or not?
TIA for any help (especially the first problem).
[quote="shomer"]Oh also if you use
notation and put single quotes around the, they fail. Take the quotes of they work fine. So are the quotes a good idea or not?[/quote]absolutely not
quotes are never allowed around table or column names, they get turned into text strings
you're thinking of backticks, and even then they aren't allowed around qualified tablename.columnname
correct syntax would be tablename.columnname
but best practice is not to use backticks at all
Thanks for that.
Wonder if you had any thoughts on the original question - the problem : using a table.column in an associative array.
I tried putting it into $stringvariable but that did not work.
I can obviously give all columns unique names throughout the DB but I am sure I am missing something.
Sorry for all these dumb questions I have done no database work for over 35 years - how depressing.
Once I get everything working I will rip it apart and do a tidy version so any "best practice" tips (or I really mean easy to code/easy to maintain tips) would be more than welcome.
the only thoughts i had were along the lines of "why do these guys keep posting php questions in the databases forum?"
i don't do php, i do coldfusion
Because the PHP code uses a database.Of course it may also have HTML and/or CSS and/or JavaScript but for whatever reason those forums don't seem to have the same problems with this as the Database forum does.
Anyway, @shomer; Sorry, but I don't see in your code where it is "using a table.column in an associative array", please clarify.I'm not sure if this is something that could be handled better with a better db design/query or if it is in fact something that needs to be done with PHP
LOL OK only asking and it is a mixed PHP/MySQL question and you gave me very helpful MySQL pointers
Oh and ColdFusion - I never got to grips with it and thought it had almost died (I thought only Adobe backed - anyway sorry that is a bit of an arcane conversation.
The problems was that in the original fetch() I was using (which I think is an associative array)
but it would fail no matter how I tried to escape it. I thought if I put it into a string variable that might work but it did not.
So I have a problem because I have many columns called "id" and need to be able to differentiate them in a fetch like this.
This time I got lucky as the variable in question was the index for the whole select statement so I could go back and grab the $_POST variable but it won't always be like this.
I can go through all my tables and change all ambiguous columns (might not be bad idea but, particularly on this first build don't want to do too much revision.
One thing I am pretty sure I can do is split queries into simpler queries but I am sure there must be away around this.
Grateful for any thoughts.
give them aliases in the query
SELECT foo.id AS foo_id
, foo.frick
, bar.id AS bar_id
, bar.frack
FROM foo
JOIN bar ...
Dear @983 ; I seriously cannot thank you enough. I had JUST hit this again where I was not going to be able to substitute a $_POST variable in a loop and thought I was stumped and checked on here and that worked PERFECTLY!
There does not appear a Kudos or Thanks button on here. Pity.
Mods a small micro payment system would also be nice. Would love to buy @983 ; a beer or the Bitcoin equivalent.
Thanks a million.
you just did
and it's r937, by the way
Oh my goodness sorry. Keep posting when I am exhausted. Sorry for getting your name wrong @r937 ; (BTW is that a clever reference to something I am not getting - like an Eliot 803 or whatever?)
[ot]no, it's just my favourite number
937.com was taken, so i grabbed r937.com[/ot]

John Galliano, left, is once again making clothes, but this time in a slightly different incarnation. Mr Galliano is going to design the costumes for Stephen Fry's production of "The Importance of Being Ernest" – including the looks that Mr Fry himself will wear as Lady Bracknell in the production, which will involve some gender-bending, and open at the Theatre Royal in the autumn of 2014. So what do we think? Is this comeback, unlike the last three comeback attempts, going to work? My guess: possibly. I think it certainly has the best chance thus far. Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/1/2013 (1681 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When he ended his life last year by shooting himself in the chest, Junior Seau had a degenerative brain disease often linked with repeated blows to the head.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health said Thursday the former NFL star's abnormalities are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
The hard-hitting linebacker played for 20 NFL seasons with San Diego, Miami and New England before retiring in 2009. He died at age 43 of a self-inflicted gunshot in May, and his family requested the analysis of his brain.
"We saw changes in his behaviour and things that didn't add up with him," his ex-wife, Gina, told The Associated Press. "But (CTE) was not something we considered or even were aware of. But pretty immediately (after the suicide) doctors were trying to get their hands on Junior's brain to examine it."
The NIH, based in Bethesda, Md., studied three unidentified brains, one of which was Seau's, and said the findings on Seau were similar to autopsies of people "with exposure to repetitive head injuries."
"It was important to us to get to the bottom of this, the truth," Gina Seau added, "and now that it has been conclusively determined from every expert that he had obviously had CTE, we just hope it is taken more seriously. You can't deny it exists, and it is hard to deny there is a link between head trauma and CTE. There's such strong evidence correlating head trauma and collisions and CTE."
In the final years of his life, Seau had wild behavioural swings, according to Gina and to 23-year-old son, Tyler, along with signs of irrationality, forgetfulness, insomnia and depression.
"He emotionally detached himself and would kind of 'go away' for a little bit," Tyler Seau said. "And then the depression and things like that. It started to progressively get worse."
He hid it well in public, they said, but not when he was with family or close friends.
Seau joins a list of several dozen football players who were found to have CTE. Boston University's centre for study of the disease reported last month that 34 former pro players and nine who played only college football suffered from CTE.
The NFL faces lawsuits by thousands of former players who say the league withheld information on the harmful effects of concussions. According to an AP review of 175 lawsuits, 3,818 players have sued. At least 26 Hall of Famer members are among the players who have done so.
The National Football League, in an email to the AP, said: "We appreciate the Seau family's co-operation with the National Institutes of Health. The finding underscores the recognized need for additional research to accelerate a fuller understanding of CTE.

Nearly 30 years ago, Lee Greenwood wrote his famous patriotic ballad, "God Bless the USA." It became a timeless symbol of patriotism following the horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Yet, in one New York City school, being "proud to be an America" has been deemed inappropriate for kindergartners.
When Greta Hawkins, the principal at PS 90 in New York City, found out that "God Bless the USA" would be performed at a kindergarten graduation scheduled for next week, "after marching in on a rehearsal," according to the N.Y. Post, she had the song removed from the program. She told teachers at the school that the song was not "age appropriate" and that she was concerned that it could end up "offending other cultures."
The school's chancellor and even Mayor Bloomberg don't have a problem with this ban.
How far has our politically correct society gone? How could being "proud to be an American" be offensive or inappropriate for children?
According to the New York City Department of Education, the song's opening lines, "If tomorrow all the things were gone/I'd worked for all my life/And I had to start again/with just my children and my wife," were just too much for 5 and 6-year-olds to handle.
Really? I've read those lines over and over trying to come up with why, out of the entire song, that particular line could possibly be inappropriate for children.
Greenwood says that he wrote that verse about his grandparents who lost their farm –about times being tough but the resolve to move forward –certainly traits I hope are worthy of teaching our children.
In fact, Greenwood was just as shocked as anyone as to how his song could be banned from school. Via the L.A. Times, he issued a statement, saying:
Greenwood is right, but it's bigger than this particular song being banned from this particular school.
This is just one more example of the assault on patriotism and our Judeo-Christian heritage as a nation. It was one year ago this weekend that NBC inexplicably censored "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance during its telecast of the U.S. Open. It has become an all too familiar occurrence to see patriotic expression attacked.
The fact that Hawkins has agreed to include "America the Beautiful" in the children's program does not resolve the issue. She is still making her point that we need limits on patriotism–picking and choosing what she deems acceptable expressions of patriotism–that some patriotic songs are inappropriate for children or offensive to some cultures. And the New York school system is acquiescing to this principal's imposition of selective patriotism.
Some have highlighted the fact that Principal Hawkins is a Jehovah's Witness (as reported by the N.Y. Post) and that her religion prohibits her from participating in certain patriotic exercises like reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. But this entirely misses the point.
We believe in the religious freedom of this principal to refrain from participating in this song. But it is an entire other matter to ruin it for everyone else. This is America and patriotism unites our multicultural society.
We just sent a letter to Mayor Bloomberg, Chancellor Dennis Walcott, and Principal Hawkins on behalf of thousands of concerned citizens, outlining the fact that there is absolutely no legal impediment to the students' performance of this patriotic song. In fact, "the song's message of self-sacrifice and patriotism furthers principles that are set forth in New York education law."
Mayor Bloomberg and the leadership of the New York school system should reverse this ban on "God Bless the USA."
Regardless of whether New York's education leaders do the right thing and remove the ban or not, it is encouraging that students and parents are planning to sing "God Bless the USA" on their own following the ceremony. This is patriotism at its finest.

Blitzed by Mets, Yanks see skid continue
Phelps chased after recording one out as losing streak hits four
NEW YORK -- There were five runs and one out on the scoreboard when David Phelps handed the ball over in the top of the first inning, meaning the Yankees right-hander was going to have plenty of time to think about what had just happened.
As Phelps waited by his locker to dissect his forgettable Subway Series debut, he could only conclude that it had been an ugly night -- short and definitely not sweet. The Yankees lost their season-high fourth straight game on Wednesday, dropping a 9-4 decision to the Mets at Yankee Stadium.
"I got one out," Phelps said. "Regardless of if it's one out or all outs, I hate losing ballgames. That's what it all boils down to. I went out and didn't really even give our team a chance tonight."
The loss guaranteed the Mets of winning this year's Subway Series, marking just the third time in the history of Interleague Play -- joining 2003 and '08 -- that the Yankees have dropped the season set to their crosstown rivals.
"We got beat tonight in all aspects of the game," Yankees first baseman Lyle Overbay said. "We've got to get back tomorrow and salvage one day at least to get us back on a roll."
The Yankees have never been swept by the Mets in the season series, something that rookie left-hander Vidal Nuno and the suddenly skidding Bombers -- losers in six of their last eight contests -- will try to avoid on Thursday in the Bronx.
"Every team's going to go through it," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "You've got to bounce back and win a game tomorrow, that's the bottom line. You're going to have your ups and downs, and you've just got to put an end to it."
The home crowd was taken out of the game early by the Mets' first-inning barrage, as chants from the Flushing faithful drowned out those of their Bronx counterparts.
Seven of the eight batters Phelps faced reached base, but Girardi and Phelps both said that the poor outing had nothing to do with the line drive that Phelps took off his right forearm in the eighth inning of his last start, on Friday against the Rays.
"He was fine," Girardi said. "He felt great. He just had a stinker."
Daniel Murphy stroked a run-scoring double, John Buck added a run-scoring single and third baseman Jayson Nix booted a potential double-play ball to prolong the inning, permitting David Wright to score the Mets' third run.
Slumping first baseman Ike Davis, batting under .200 and fighting for his big league job, cashed a two-run single to left field to end Phelps' 31-pitch outing.
"I mean, it stinks," Phelps said. "Obviously, it's one of the worst outings you can have, but I'm not going to let it kill me. I'm going to go out in five days, just pitch my game -- I know I'm capable of it. I've just got to go out and do it."
One bright spot for the Yankees was a valuable long-relief performance from Ivan Nova, who has been hoping to reclaim his rotation spot and recapture some rhythm after a stint on the disabled list.
Nova held the Mets to one run over the final five innings and in the eighth became the first Yankees pitcher since A.J. Burnett in 2009 to strike out the side on nine pitches.
"I'm really, really excited about the way I'm pitching," Nova said. "With the way I pitched today, I'm really happy with myself. That's all I can say."
Jeremy Hefner limited the Yankees to three runs and nine hits over six innings as the Mets posted a victory for the first time in any of his 10 starts this season, and the right-hander said he savored the spotlight.
"It's a lot of fun," Hefner said. "Playing the Yankees, it doesn't matter who's over there, it's a lot of fun. It's fun for the city. It's fun for the fans. Pitching here -- I don't want to say it's a dream come true, but it's cool. It's really cool."
Brennan Boesch connected for a fourth-inning homer, his third, and picked up a run-scoring infield single in the sixth inning. Nix also logged a run-scoring hit off Hefner, who walked none and struck out five.
Marlon Byrd extended the Mets' advantage in the third inning with a solo homer off Adam Warren, Byrd's fifth of the year, and Lucas Duda stroked a two-run double off Warren in the fourth for the Mets, who have won a season-high four straight games.
"You don't want to get caught up into it and try and take too much, but those guys are a good team over there," Overbay said. "They just haven't hit their stride. It seems like they've done that right now, so we've got to find a way to put a stop to it."

Finally, the Indian male is ready for creams and potions. Male consumers are now demanding products that are made specifically for them. Previously, they were satisfied with using creams and lotions that their mothers, wives or sisters used. They didn't really feel the need for a separate set of products. But habits are changing rapidly, and male consumers in India are becoming increasingly conscious of the need to look groomed in order to match international trends, and the market for male grooming products, including skin care, is expected to achieve significant growth over its current $185 million size.
The changing grooming behavior of Indian men is largely due to exposure to international grooming and fashion trends. In developed markets such as the U.S., the U.K. and Australia (which has even seen some success in men's makeup ranges), male consumers are increasingly striving for a youthful appearance, as well as just looking good. In fact, men are generally becoming as pressured to look young and fresh as women. With India's growing place in a global market and with exposure to multinational companies, Indian men are also feeling the pressure.
While women have long been investing in their skin care regimen and are willing to buy different types of products, men's beauty consciousness has bloomed much more recently. Only recently, moisturizers were not common, and grooming meant a clean-shaven face, good hair cut and a nice cologne. But with increasing international travel and an amalgamation of traditional and Western culture, Indian men are seeking products and treatments, and are willing to try products as long as there are perceived results or benefits. "The male grooming sector is very nascent in India, unlike countries in the Asia-Pacific [market], but we see a latent need amongst male consumers," says Vineet Agrawal, president, Wipro Consumer Care & Lighting, one of the leading Indian personal care companies with plans to enter the male skin care and grooming market.
While the market here is still nascent, one would think launching basic and general use male skin care products is the logical step taken by the beauty brands. But that has not been so. The big brands, when focusing on the men's skin care market, have actually launched various products targeting specific skin needs. Much like Indian women, who have become much more aware and discriminatory about the type of products they choose, men are seeking targeted products. Therefore, the men's skin care category is ripe with products for skin whitening, antiaging, oil control and other special skin needs.
"Till now, Indian men have been using the creams and lotions that have been lying on their mother's or wife's dresser, but they should know that a male skin type is different from a woman's," opines Yatan Ahluwalia, director, Y&E Style Media—an Indian distributor of U.S.-based beauty brand Susan's Soaps & More, which launched the Steel skin care range for men. "They actually need products that can deal with skin problems such as dryness, razor burn, dark lips due to smoking and clogged pores. In fact, most male consumers are not willing to spend a long time in following a beauty regimen, so the products that are for men should do multitasking. For instance, in our Steel range, we have a moisturizing mask that can be applied once a week to clean the pores, remove uneven tan and deep condition the skin. Similarly, our lip balm for men exfoliates and moisturizes the lips at one go. It also takes care of discoloration of lips due to smoking."

The gremlins are really after me tonight?!
Any idea what might be "squishing" the thumbnail in this screen-shot?? (It should be twice as high as it is wide.)
Here is the HTML related to it...

Consider Becoming an S-Corporation
The only thing that might have changed is the HTML that is stored in my database. (No code or CSS was changed.)
Maybe this is another area where mucking around in my database tonight screwed things up?!
Could it be an issue of whether I use Single Quotes or Double Quotes??
We need more info, like the dimensions of the image and the CSS applying to it, but I'd say width="100" has something to do with it.
Okay, thanks for the tip.
I looked in my Styles and found this...
#subscriptions td.colThumbnail img{
height: 30px;
margin: 10px auto 10px auto;
display: block;
And I had added width="<some value>" to the HTML I am storing in my database, so the browser was s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g the image to 150px wide and squishing it to 30px high, thus the weird effect!!
Soooo, is there a way to keep width="<some value>" in my database, and for this particular application, use height: 30px but keep the proportions the same so that an original image of, say, 160px wide by 120px high would change to 40px wide by 30px high?!
(I think I have some larger design issues here of how to store my Copy and HTML, but I'll leave that for another forum...)
If you use different classes or ids in the different applications for the same image, then you can delete width="somevalue" from the database markup and apply the required property:value in css. If only one dimension is declared, width or height, the browser will scale the image proportionally; therefore, height can rule one application and width can rule another for the same image.
If you need to keep width="somevalue" in your database, then the width property will have to be included in your css to override the width attribute in markup.
Thanks for the tips. They give me some ideas.
However, unfortunately, I think my bigger issue is that I need to re-design how my Articles are stored in MySQL... sigh
If you set width to auto in the css then that will over-ride the width attribute in the image tag and then your 30px css height will take effect and the width will be scaled to match the aspect ratio that the 30px height requires.
Hi Paul!! :wavey:
Thanks for the tip! That may come in handy.
However, I am still looking at this from a PHP/Database design standpoint.
Also trying to figure out if I should have One Image or many Re-sized Images. (See my thread under "Web Design" for more.)
