Al Baghdadia TV-June 29, 2008
Reporter: Muslims are being massacred. First in Bosnia and now in Iraq and Afghanistan. What do you think should be done in Palestine?
Adnan Oktar: It is a sin for Muslims not be united and act as one. It is unlawful. According to the Qur'an, it is obligatory FOR MUSLIMS TO ACT TOGETHER AS ONE AS BROTHERS, FOR THEM ALL TO BE BROTHERS TO ONE ANOTHER and to gather around a single leader. But Muslims are not doing that. As they fail to do that, it opens the way to all kinds of affliction. Muslims will abide by that obligation. What I am saying is that a Turkish-Islamic Union must be established under Turkish leadership, under the leadership of the Turkish nation. All countries will still be nation states in it. Every state will act freely domestically, but they need a spiritual leader at their head. Because the Christians have a leader, the Pope. Muslims must also have a spiritual leader. This disorder and corruption will easily come to an end if there is a leader at the head of this spiritual union. In that event, since all Muslims will act as one if even a hair of Muslims' heads is harmed anywhere in the world, the incident will be stopped at once. But if they are fragmented, if they act in such a way as to make a policy of divide and rule possible, then it is easy to swallow the small pieces up. But it is impossible to swallow up the Muslim world as an entire block. Muslims must fulfill this obligation without delay.

Woods Online student aims for hunting success in new TV show
April 4th, 2013 | SMWC
By Sara Palmer
Don't let Krysten McDaniel's bright smile, long pink fingernails or softly curled hair fool you. She is dressed to kill.
At least, that is the name of the new reality television series coming to the Outdoor Channel in the fall of 2014, featuring McDaniel, a marketing major in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College's (SMWC) Woods Online program. McDaniel, a professional hunter, from Terre Haute, Ind., teams up with other talented female hunters to show the ins and outs of hunting, as well as the thrill of a victory.
"The idea is to show that we do it all ourselves," she explained. "We set up our own stands and food plots and do all of our own shooting."
McDaniel has been hunting for about seven years, but her sharp eye and steady arm go back to when she was a 6-year-old shooting targets with her grandfather. Years later, she went turkey hunting with her husband and was hooked. "Turkeys are hard because you have to shoot them in the head," she explained. "I was the first girl my husband took hunting and he was very impressed."
Since then McDaniel has hunted an array of animals with a menagerie of weapons. Muzzle loaders, bows, rifles, shotguns – you name it and she's fired it. "I killed my biggest buck ever with a bow this season," said McDaniel, who, aside from deer, also hunts hogs, turkeys and bears.
That's right – bears.
McDaniel has taken down three bears in her seven years of hunting. The first, which she had made into a rug, was more than five feet tall and weighed 170 lbs. "On that hunt I discovered I am allergic to ThermaCELL [mosquito repellent] when I passed out in the tree stand," she said. "I was trying to make the shot, then I busted my head open. We went to the ER then went right back to see if I got the kill."
The second bear was the first she killed with a rifle and has the trophy half mounted at home. The third, and most recent, bear she successfully hunted in Ontario, Canada, can be found on YouTube. "It's crazy to know I've killed a bear," she said. "It's a rush and such a sense of accomplishment."
As audiences can tell from the bear hunt YouTube video, which will be featured on "Dressed to Kill TV," McDaniel was hoping to make the kill with her bow. However, since it was the last day of the hunt and they had come so far, McDaniel chose to switch over to her shotgun to increase her odds. "The bow is my favorite weapon," she said, "but I'm really patient and won't take the shot unless I know it's perfect."
It's this patience that's helped McDaniel rack up her kill count, including seven bucks, eight does, six turkeys, four hogs and two bears. This impressive number is exactly what drew the attention from the makers of "Dressed to Kill TV." From the Louisiana swamps to snowy Ohio hills, simply visiting the show's Facebook page is enough to see the diversity of these talented female hunters.
"We are all women from different walks of life, but we all share the same passion for hunting. After reading Krysten's bio I realized she was as excited about hunting as I was. She started out hunting with her husband and now they hunt and film together which brings a well rounded aspect to our show," said Tammi Pack Gregory from Dressed to Kill TV.
When Gregory first approached McDaniel about the TV show, neither one knew exactly what to expect. "I didn't think it was real," McDaniel said. "Sometimes we just don't get taken seriously as women hunters. It was a dream come true."
McDaniel is used to having to prove her worth. Working in the firearms department at Gander Mountain in Terre Haute, Ind., she often has to work harder to gain the respect of customers than her male counterparts. "They look at me and wonder what could I know about this gun or that gun," she said. "But then they ask a question and I shock them with an expert answer."
In addition to working and hunting, McDaniel also mentors children in Ray Howell's Kicking Bear 101 program. Along with her husband, she conducts archery clinics with children and young adults and even takes them on hunts. Her commitment to the community doesn't stop there. She also often donates meat from her kills to underprivileged families.
McDaniel is able to balance volunteering, work and hunting with school by attending Woods Online, a distance education program from SMWC. She can complete courses in eight or 16-week semesters, turn in assignments online and take tests from home – or in a tree stand. With both "Dressed to Kill TV" and graduation on the horizon, McDaniel's adventures are truly about to begin.

• germane •
Pronunciation: jêr-mayn • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: Relevant, pertinent, on point, related.
Notes: Today's Good Word looks a lot like German, but don't confuse the two. The noun for this adjective is germaneness; no one has yet dared to venture germanity. The adverb, germanely, has been used enough to make the dictionaries but not the Microsoft English spell-checker, which underlines it as a word not found.
In Play: Today's word indicates a relationship of any kind: "I for one think the size of the parking lot is very germane to the question of how many employees we hire." If the meaning of this word leans in any direction, it is toward a causal relationship: "Well, Lance, I don't quite see how your father's producing this film is germane to your receiving a role in it."
Word History: Today's Good Word came from Old French germain, a direct descendant of Latin germen "shoot (of a plant)". In English, it became a variant of german "genuine, real, having the same parents". This word is often used in compounds like brother-german "full brother", sister-german "full sister", as opposed to half-brothers and half-sisters. This is where germane gets its meaning of "truly related". It may be related to the name of the German people though that isn't clear. It is related to germ in the sense of the heart of a seed, the origin of an organism, and the verb germinate. (The idea for today's most germane Good Word germinated in the lexically fertile mind of the Grand Panjandrum of our Agora, Mark Bailey.)

Mann enters final act with Gators
Published: Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 16, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Having a fifth-year senior with the skills, talent and leadership ability of Florida's Chloe Mann is a rarity in college athletics.
"Chloe is a coach on the court and off the court," coach Mary Wise said Friday at UF's Media Day. "She has really developed into an outstanding leader for us."
The fact that the first-team All-American middle blocker and 2012 Southeastern Conference Player of the Year happens to be a former local prep standout from Eastside makes it all the more special.
"I love that I was able to stay here all five years and play in front of my family and longtime friends," Mann said. "I was raised in Gainesville, and it has just meant so much to me — the support that I felt from my hometown and the community being there every game.
"I definitely credit everything that I have earned to the coaches and just how much they have worked with me over the years. I think we have such a strong program here that the ability to develop athletes into amazing and better volleyball players is really a tribute to our coaches — Mary, (and assistant coaches) Dave (Boos) and Sally (Polhamus)."
After redshirting her freshman year at UF and playing in just 12 matches the following season (2010), Mann broke through in 2011, playing in 27 matches with 14 starts and leading the SEC in hitting efficiency (.500). Along the way, she made NCAA history in a road match against LSU, hitting a remarkable .900 with 18 kills on 20 swings (no errors), the second-highest single-match mark in NCAA history (minimum 20 attacks).
She started all 32 matches last season and led the nation in hitting percentage (.444) while recording 380 kills and adding 120 blocks (28 solos, 92 assists), with her 1.15 blocks-per-set average ranking third in the SEC.
Mann enters her final campaign with 532 kills, 190 blocks and a .455 hitting clip under her belt and is poised to break UF's career hitting percentage record (.424, Heather Wright, 1997-2000) by the end of the season.
"I'm just coming in every day working hard in practice and making every rep count," she said. "I'm trying to make the most out of every day knowing that this is my last season."
Mann, who was the Sun's Class 4A-6A Player of the Year in 2008 and the 2009 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, has been dominating in the classroom as well. An SEC All-Academic honoree every year, she got her bachelor's degree in April and is enrolled in graduate school.
"Truly the hardest challenge for Chloe was finding a major," Wise said. "The AP (Advanced Placement) credits she came in with from Eastside High School, she came in as a second semester sophomore. She's already graduated and was able to find a (graduate) program that she could continue so that she would be eligible, and that doesn't happen that often.
"If that's your biggest problem, then that's a good thing to have."
The Gators, who are coming off a 27-5 season that included their 20th SEC regular-season title — all under Wise — and advanced to the NCAA regional semifinals before falling to eventual national champion Texas, open the season with the annual Campus USA Credit Union Invitational in the O'Connell Center on Aug. 30-31.
UF is ranked No. 9 nationally in the preseason.
"I'm real excited," Mann said. "I didn't think this day would come, so it's kind of crazy that I'm here in my fifth year. But I'm really looking forward to what this team can do."

This week brings an action-packed slate of economic reports. But the jobs report, due Friday from the Labor Department, is likely to be steal the show. Even there, however, it is likely that this show seems more like a rerun.
That's because it is expected to tell much the same story as other recent reports: subpar payrolls growth fails to decrease the unemployment rate substantially. The December report pegged unemployment at 7.8 percent, with 155,000 jobs added to payrolls.
Lynn Reaser, chief economist for Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, says the expected pace of around 150,000 would mirror the average pace of job growth in 2011 and 2012. She expects the payrolls report to reflect an increase of about 165,000 jobs in the private sector and a decrease of about 10,000 jobs in the public sector. "The jobless rate also likely held stable at 7.8 percent for the third month in a row," she says.
For months now, employers have cited a lack of certainty on budget and other federal policy issues as one reason why they are not hiring more aggressively. The Beige Book economic survey, released by the Federal Reserve earlier this month, noted some delays in hiring, mostly in the defense manufacturing sector.
Recovery from Superstorm Sandy is now thought to be providing a lift to the job market.
"Certain forces are likely to have improved the unemployment rate in certain areas," says Nayantara Hensel, professor of industry and business at National Defense University. "For example, the labor markets in the northeastern U.S. are rebounding from (Superstorm) Sandy, and continued workers have been needed for reconstruction and rebuilding." Other positives she cites are new home construction and firming auto sales.
Despite the flat monthly showing expected in this week's report, CareerBuilder spokeswoman Jennifer Grasz says 2013 should bring a better hiring picture. "Hiring activity in the U.S. has been on a gradual upward trajectory," she says. "Employers are in a better financial position today and are focused on growing their businesses, but they're still assessing the implications of a weakened global market. The guarded approach to hiring that we've seen throughout the recovery is likely to continue this year, but improve over last year."
The Federal Reserve holds a two-day, policy-setting session this week. But the meeting is not expected to change the outlook for interest rates.
Besides the jobs report, the Institute for Supply Management manufacturing index is slated for Friday as well. The previous reading, which registered 50.7, showed growth in manufacturing for only the third time in seven months.
Tuesday brings the consumer confidence index from The Conference Board. The business group cited a sharp decline in expectations for the December decline, which it blamed on uncertainty surrounding the "fiscal cliff."
As for what consumers are actually spending, auto manufacturers release their monthly sales figures this week. Edmunds.com expects total sales of new cars and trucks in January to be up 14.5 percent from a year earlier.
Another assessment of the consumer comes Thursday, when the Commerce Department releases monthly reports on personal incomes and spending.

Dealing With Kids' Summer Dental Surprises
Latest Oral Health News
SUNDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- Children play a lot of sports and other outdoor activities during the summer and are at risk for accidents that can damage their teeth, an expert says.
"Collision injuries with a friend, the ground or the side of a swimming pool definitely increase during the summer," Dr. Stephen Mitchell, a pediatric dentist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, said in a university news release.
"If something like this occurs, remember first and foremost to make sure your child does not have a head injury," he said. "If they have lost consciousness or are dizzy, or if they can't remember how the injury happened, get medical attention and worry about the teeth later."
Once you're certain there are no medical issues, here are some tips on what to do about damaged teeth:
Mitchell also said summer is a good time to schedule dental check-ups for children.
"Don't wait until the last two weeks of summer because appointments can get very scarce," he said. "Plan ahead for the best flexibility in appointments."

THE future of Thwaites' Star Brewery site in the centre of Blackburn remains uncertain after yesterday's announcement.
Chief executive Rick Bailey admitted there were no plans for the 7.4 acres after the borough council sank their proposal to bring a Sainsbury's superstore there.
He held out an olive branch to the town hall saying he hoped to co-operate with their plans to redevelop the town centre around the £33million Cathedral Quarter, Mr Bailey did confirm the stables for the famous brewery dray horses and their three staff would remain in Eanam Wharf for the immediate future. He also revealed that the existing pair of Shires 'Bomber' and 'Wainwright' had a new friend, 'Jack'. The three-year-old joined them two weeks ago.
Mr Bailey said: "We do not have any plans for our existing site, as we have not been able to deliver on our plan to bring Sainsbury's into Blackburn. However we continue to believe that a redevelopment of the site presents an exciting opportunity for Blackburn town centre, which is already being regenerated.
"We will be looking to find partners who can help us to realise that opportunity."
Meanwhile, Blackburn with Darwen Council is in talks with a number of retailers for the former covered market, earmarked for Sainsbury's before Thwaites trumped them in 2011.
Now talks have resumed between the two to find complementary projects.
Council regeneration boss Maureen Bateson said: "We would have preferred Thwaites new brewery to have been in the borough but we now need to work together."
The Shadsworth distribution depot will remain in the short to medium term, unaffected by the changes.

Forrester Wave: Master Data Management
Delivering clean, accurate, and consistent master data
is critical for efficient business processes.

It's difficult to do justice to items with 4 photos especially when one isn't a good photographer. Hope you can see these.
This is such a nice bracelet that I originally thought was love tokens but it is made of eight very early 3 Pence coins. The coins are 0.925 silver. The dates are 1899, 1905, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, and 1919.
There are no holes in the coins. A small hoop has been added to each coin in order to connect with a link. The latch is simply a long pin hoop. This type of bracelet isn't necessarily rare in the Numismatic world but it's unique to the average person.
I always appreciate any information or comments. I am no expert just an admirer.

High cattle prices have made cattle rustling more common to start 2013, especially in southwest Missouri where nearly 40 cows have been stolen in the past three weeks.
Most cases have occurred at night in rural areas with gates or fences cut to allow trailers to enter the pasture, load cattle and get away with little-to-no detection.
The University of Missouri Extension offers some additional tips to fight cattle rustling. In addition to marking animals with ear tags, earmarks, tattooing or branding, keep an eye out for suspicious activity such as trucks transporting cattle at night or people and vehicles that look out of place.
The first step Dona Goede offers is to check cattle, pastures and fences regularly. It was reported a few weeks ago that cattle thieves were sending scouts to check activity and mark access points with masking tape to strike later. Cattle producers should be extra observant as sale days approach.
Producers should also make sure gates are always closed and locked and fences are in good repair. Gate hinges should have capped hinges so they cannot be removed easily. Also avoid a consistent schedule to make it more difficult for thieves to predict your activity.
Communicate with law enforcement and neighbors to report strange vehicles and gather information including the make and model of the vehicle and license plate info.
Technology and other equipment can make monitoring the property more efficient. Alarms for electric fences can alert you if the fence is broken or cut or a bell on the gate can alert you of intruders on your property.
Video surveillance cameras are another option and may not avoid theft, but images captured on the camera can lead to the arrest of those who entered the property. Be sure to conceal cameras where they're not likely to be seen.
If cattle are stolen, report the event to authorities and provide as much information as possible. Accurate records can be beneficial as thieves are likely to sell the animals at a nearby auction.

Topic: Hernia after surgery
My mom had the liver resection surgery in November 2006. She now has about a 6 in hernia close to her incision. The surgeon said that it is very common. I have seen a couple of posts from others who mention having hernias after surgery. Can anyone tell me what is done to correct that? I know that she will have to have a surgery for it, but we don't know quite what to expect.
Thank you,

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A former Ohio Supreme Court justice ousted in November's election is joining the state auditor's office as general counsel.
Robert Cupp, defeated by William O'Neill last fall, previously served on the Ohio Court of Appeals and in the state senate.
State Auditor David Yost says Cupp's decision is a bonus for the people of Ohio and a logical extension of what he calls Cupp's stellar public service.
Cupp, a Republican elected to the Supreme Court in 2006, is also a former Allen County commissioner, Lima city prosecutor and Lima assistant law director.

The 2014 WSOP got underway on May 27 with Tournament Director Jack Effel modestly announcing, "This is our Olympics. This is our Woodstock. This is our celebration" as the WSOP literally rained money on the players, shooting $10,000 in dollar bills out of air cannons as participants and spectators alike scrambled to pick up the loot.
WSOP Executive Director Ty Stewart promised "a slew of events that will create millionaires this summer," and already one new millionaire has been crowned. Event #8 was the return of last year's "Millionaire Maker" and its popularity brought in a whopping 7,977 runners, making it the second-largest WSOP tournament in history and inflating its top prize to $1.3 million.
More than halfway through the 45th Annual World Series of Poker many familiar names have added to their bracelet list in both inaugural, classic and newer high-profile events. This year the WSOP launched the first ever dealer's choice event. The $1,500 Dealer's Choice Six-Handed event (#41) saw Robert Mizrachi nab his second WSOP title topping a field of 419 who chose from any of 16 different games during the tournament.
Among those also joining the two-time bracelet club so far this year are Brian Yoon, whose first bracelet came in last year's "Little One for One Drop" and repeated this year in the $5,000 8-Max event (#35), Dan Kelly, winning one of the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em events (#43), John Kabbaj, winner of $2,500 Omaha/Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split 8-or-better event (#25), 2009 Main Event Champ Joe Cada, outlasting an impres - sive field in the $10,000 Six-handed No-limit Hold 'em event (#32), fellow Main Event final tablemate Eric Buchman winning the $1,500 Seven Card Stud event (#34) and German pro George Danzer. Danzer is making a serious run on 2014 WSOP Player of the Year, taking down both the $10,000 Razz (#18) and the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud High-Low Eight-or-Better (#38) events for his first two bracelets after a long, impressive, but bracelet-free career.
Also ending a bracelet drought was 30-year old poker pro Jordan Morgan who took down the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em Event (#44) besting 1,914 runners including familiar names such as Men Nguyen, Barry Greenstein, and Yevgeniy Timoshenko. Justin Bonomo has been a familiar name in poker circles for years but he had yet to win a WSOP event. But he finally broke through with his first win topping a field of 1,587 to win the $1,500 No-limit Six Handed event (#11). Two-time WPT Champ Tuan Le grabbed his first WSOP bracelet with a win in the $10,000 Triple Draw Lowball event (#5), just edging out Bonomo heads up. Alex Bolotin, winner of the 2009 Ante Up for Africa non-bracelet charity event, grabbed his first bracelet winning the $1,500 No Limit Hold 'em Shoot Out (#6). Paul Volpe not only won his first bracelet, but denied Daniel Negreanu his seventh, in the $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball championship (Event #13). Top ranked online tournament player Calvin Anderson added a bracelet to his impressive resume after winning the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Low (#30).
Elsewhere, the three-time bracelet winner club added some new members. Vanessa Selbst won the $25,000 Mixed Max Event (#2) for $871,148, becoming the first female player to win three bracelets in open events. Magic: The Gathering expert Brock Parker won the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo event (#10) and former wunderkind Dutch Boyd snared the $1,000 NLHE event (#33). Belgium's Davidi Kitai won Event #15, $3,000 Six- handed NLHE, becoming the first non-American to nab a bracelet this year. Other notables to grab gold include Ted Forrest who won his sixth bracelet, denying Phil Hellmuth his fourteenth, in the $1,500 Seven-Card Razz event (#7) and Dan Heimiller who won the Seniors event (#17), bouncing back from being down to just 1.5 times the blind ten-handed to take home his second bracelet.
The next millionaire will be the winner of the $50,000 Poker Players Championship (Event #46), followed by the winner of the million dollar buy-in The Big One for One Drop (Event #57) and the granddaddy of them all, the Main Event. That annual ritual starts on July 5th and will again wrap up in November with its final table. But this year, there is a $10 million guaranteed payday for the winner, ensuring at least the second largest prize in the event's illustrious history.

FIRE chiefs in Lancashire have voted to delay the relocation of their headquarters amid ongoing uncertainty over the future of the service.
County fire authority members have decided to delay shifting their HQ from Fulwood, near Preston, to Euxton, where the brigade's training centre is based.
Around £700,000 will be saved per year in financing, as a result of the decision, as the service is faced with an in-year savings requirement of £4.6million.
Sir Ken Knight completed a report last year, raising the spectre of fire authorities being merged, closer working with other emergency services or even local councils taking direct charge of their responsibilities.
And while Lancashire fire bosses want to retain the status quo, the decision to postpone the HQ relocation for five years is seen as prudent.
Keith Mattinson, director of corporate services, said in a report: "This would enable completion of another emergency cover review in three years time, provide an opportunity to review after the next set of elections, both national and local, and should provide greater clarity on future funding and on government plans for the future of fire and rescue services."
But management have accepted that some 'remedial work' will be needed on the existing fire headquarters and training centre, including repairing the roof at Lancaster House.
Mr Mattinson said: "These will be kept to the minimum required to ensure that both buildings remain fit for purpose whilst the main project is on hold."

Scientists with the Bay Program have found little damage to underwater grass beds in the upper Bay and tidal Potomac River during their initial trips to assess the impacts of the major rainstorms and flooding that took place in the Bay watershed during the end of June.
Intense rainfall events affect water quality by carrying excessive loads of sediments, nutrients and contaminants into the Bay. This runoff has become more intense in recent years, due to the increase in impervious surfaces (such as paved roads, driveways and parking lots) in the Bay watershed. Instead of being absorbed into the ground, the rain flows rapidly and intensely across these surfaces into streams, causing streambank erosion and an excess flow of dirt and pollutants into the water.
The excess flow can cause losses of clams, oysters, underwater grasses and other living resources by blocking sunlight, burying them in sediment or creating oxygen-deprived "dead zones." The beginning of summer is an especially critical time of the year, because shellfish are spawning and young grasses are trying to grow.
While the flow into the Bay after the June rain event was high, it was not unprecedented. Flows this high or higher occur about once every three years. The flow from Hurricane Agnes, which hit the Bay region in June 1972, was three times higher than this June's rainfall event. However, a flow this high during the early summer period is unusual; 1972 was the only other year this has occurred in June since 1968.
Scientists with the Bay Program will continue to take extra steps to monitor the health of the Bay this summer, including:
Additional cruises and flyovers to track water quality conditions. These will show scientists the effects of excess nutrients and sediment on water clarity, and allow them to see if harmful algal blooms are forming. Visits to oyster beds and underwater grass meadows, which are vulnerable to the excess flow of nutrients, sediment and contaminants caused by the rainfall. Using increased technology to pinpoint where excess sediments end up in the Bay.
An immediate concern with the rainfall is the potential for high bacteria counts in some water bodies. People should not swim in the Bay's rivers, creeks and any other area that is not regularly monitored for bacteria. The Bay's swimming beaches are regularly monitored, and swimming there will be restricted if high bacteria levels are found.
For updates on Bay conditions this summer, visit the Bay Program Web site; also, conditions in the Maryland portion of the Bay will be posted at Eyes on the Bay.

Thread: Cheap graphics card replacement
Cheap graphics card replacement
Folks, my girlfriend graphics card died at some point during the night and she needs a cheap replacement that will work in her system, which by now is rather dated. Just buying a new system is not an option right now, so this is a stop gap until later in the year when we can overhaul her whole system. The cost point is at most €50-70.
- Mobo is an Asus M2N-SLI with some version of a Athlon 64 X2 in there, but I can't for the life of me remember which, possibly one of the 3600+ versions. From my understanding of it, all PCIx 16 cards are backwards compatible with previous sockets (Ie a 3 will work in a 1 socket) but this may require a BIOS update and the CPU might not support the higher PCIe slots (so say someone over at Toms).
- Her game requirements are rather basic, if it can play WoW at
1240x1748 then that's awesome (which I expect a calculator to be able to do at this stage). If it can do a bit more than that then that's more awesome.
- I'm not entirely sure how video cards are used for things like Photoshop, but Photoshop and image processing is a requirement for college, so I was thinking something with a decent amount of ram (2gb) would probably be good. However, I'm not sure if the added benefit of more RAM will help at such a low cost point.
-Silence would be very much appreciated, so small quiet fans or no fans at all are perfect.
- Nvidia options would be preferred but AMI recommendations will be taken on board.
I was looking at cards like the 2GB 610GTs, but I've never really looked for cheap stop gaps in such an old system.
The old card is a 9600GT with something like 512mb.

Thing is - a decent card costs 100euros (or thereabouts) then there's a chasm down to cheaper cards which cost quite a bit less and do quite a LOT less.
If I were you I'd buy a decent card now - it will go into any PC she buys in the future - and you'll get much better value for money overall.
e.g. spend 100euros now - or spend 50-70euros now which you'll throw in a bin not long thereafter!?!?
p.s. AMD will get you a LOT more bang for your buck, generally speaking.
p.p.s. or eBay a 2nd-hand card - but prices have been stable for a while so bargains tend to be scarce.
For a decent card she could probably stretch to 120e, but this doesn't have to be an amazing card, it just has to hold over for a while. It all depends also that a half decent card will still work in the machine she has.
A Radeon HD 7750 might be sufficient, but a 7770 does provide more bang for the buck. Nvidia isn't very competitive in that segment, the GTX 650 is underwhelming (a GT 640 with better memory, yay) and the GTX 650 Ti is beyond your budget limit.
Found that there's no issue with using a PCIe3x16 in a PCIe1x16 slot, in terms of it just not working and I believe that the cpu will at most probably bottleneck the gpu, but it'll still work and probably still better than the 9600gt.

27-02-2013, 08:56 AM #6Is there any truth in there being issues between PCIx3 x16 and PCIx1 x16 that you know of? I've looked around myself and the only thing I've seen people talking about is an incompatibility between CPUs and the cards, something I've never heard of before.
an ATI 5670 or 6670 with GDDR5 are on par with the old 9800GT (albeit they have 1 gb of Ram, you really do not need 2 unless you plan on playing Battlefield 3 on ultra texture settings), and they are very cheap second hand, and do not require auxilary power connectors. Heck, you can still buy them retail for roughly 70 euros (Although that is not the price I personally would pay for it, you do get warrenty)
However, if you want something faster, try the AMD ATI 5750 or 5770 (or 6 series equivalent) cards - those are older versions of the 7770 and 7750 out today, but they are not really all that less powerfull, and can be bought for cheap second hand (I got my 5770 for 60 euros and I should have haggled). They also use older PCI express interfaces. However, all those cards require a 6 pin power connector - then again, if you have a 9800GT running in there, it is pretty damn likely that you already have a lot of those.
As for performance: My 5770 can run Battlefield 3 at 1080p on medium settings with 40 fps (which is very playable), so I am quite sure that it can run WoW at the resolution you specified. I am not sure about the 5670, however.

Went with a Sapphire 7750 for €110, which will cover her for a good while to come.
If she updates the pc soon, which hopefully will happen because the current one is starting to show age it'll just be part of that.

From Ashes to Ashes: Portrait of Bill Jay On View at MOPA
The Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) is proud to announce a unique new acquisition donated by British artist and educator Bill Jay. This unusual 6.25 x 4.75 image is a gum bichromate print of the artist himself, formed from his ashes following his death and cremation. The portrait fulfills the wish of the artist and was created by Bill Jay's close friend and colleague, James Hajicek.
The image came to MOPA as one of ten original prints bequeathed to museums and photographic institutions around the world. The package included the photograph itself, as well as a letter from Bill Jay describing his interest and intent with the project, as well as a synopsis from Hajicek on the process involved in turning the ashes of his friend into a photograph, a living testament to a man who loved photography.
The image of Bill Jay is now on view as part of Inside Out: Portraits from the Permanent Collection and will be on view through September 25, 2011. An Audio|Insight podcast is also available for smart phone users who wish to hear Bill Jay's letter read aloud. You can also check out the podcast at: http://youtu.be/rnc158dphJM
Press Opportunities:
To request the high resolution image, schedule an interview, or to request additional information, please contact marketing and communications manager, Kristine Page, at 619.238.7559, ext. 203 or via email (email@example.com).

There is absolutely no need for an energy shortage in the UK, but the indecision of policy makers is making serious problems over the next few years ever more likely. There is no shortage of supply – but the raw materials of the energy business – such as gas and coal, or for that matter wind – have to be converted into power to produce the electricity which is essential for a complex modern economy. If the power stations are not in place electricity can't be produced. Read more

You can still enjoy visiting cultural and heritage destinations if you are blind or partially sighted.
A number of museums and galleries provide specialist accessible tours to people with sight loss, while audio description can help bring theatre alive.
Museums and art galleries across the UK provide tours and other specialist accessibility services to people with sight loss. As well as information and guides in alternative formats and audio described tours, some venues offer tactile experiences.
More information on visiting museums and galleries can be found in our Confident living - Leisure leaflet:
If you work at or run a museum or gallery, we have also produced a number of publications to help you make sure your blind and partially sight visitors get the most from their visit:
If you have sight loss, visiting the theatre can be enhanced dramatically by watching an audio described performance. Audio description (AD) brings alive what is happening on stage, discreetly describing the action, scenery, facial expressions and costumes of the actors.
Venues also often offer pre-performance notes and touch tours, so you have an idea of what the stage is like before the performance begins. Sometimes you can also meet the actors.
Organisations like VocalEyes and Mind's Eye provide information on available audio described performances nationwide. Individual theatres and production companies also provide more information on accessible performances, for example:
RNIB has a box at the Royal Albert Hall. If you are blind or partially sighted, you can apply for tickets and take a sighted friend or guide. Recent events have included Jools Holland, Michael Bolton, Eric Clapton, the BBC Proms concerts, the Cirque du Soleil and much more.
For more details please contact email@example.com or telephone 020 7391 2063.
If you would like more information on how to access audio description in the cinema, home and online, please visit our audio description page.

Hi, Gavin,
Thanks ,good job well done.
BTW, if I may ask everyone, is that really you want ( the extra 3 month of life) in exchange for quality of life with three month less on earth knowing that all the treatments is palliative in nature?
God bless.
Percy, good question. I know Teddy opted for quality and I know I would too.
Sounds like a good conference. Hope you get a little free time in my favorite city.
The quality of life question was very important to my dad and that was why he chose the PDT over the chemo. Knowing what I do, I would make the same decision for myself now as well if I was in that situation. But that's just my personal opinion here. Hope you're enjoying the conference Percy!
Percy -
I am a big advocate of quality of life versus quantity of life. I think I would chose less time if it was quality time. I think a lot of people don't think that way.....and I don't always think doctors understand that either. It seems I have had more than my share of end of life talks.
What I want to see is something that keeps the quality of life and adds some quantity too.....not asking for much am I.

Match Notes
Liberty's 2013 regular-season schedule wraps up this weekend, as the Lady Flames compete at UNC Asheville on Friday at 7 p.m., before taking on Gardner-Webb, Saturday at 4 p.m. Liberty (8-17, 7-5 Big South) enters the week in a three-way tie for third place in the Big South, along with UNC Asheville and High Point, two matches out of first. Gardner-Webb is currently in seventh place, at 6-6.
Liberty at a Glance
The Lady Flames are coming off of a resounding 3-0 sweep of Campbell, last Saturday, during which they outhit the Camels, .284 to -.023. Liberty leads the Big South in blocks per set (2.53) and opponents' hitting percentage (.153) during Big South play.
Freshman Nzea McQuitery was named Big South Freshman of the Week on Monday, after scoring a career-high 13 kills on Friday against High Point.
Senior Jade Craycraft recorded her fifth triple-double this season, against High Point, while Caroline Douglas recorded her first career double-double. Kendle Rollins set a new career high with 11 blocks, while Gabrielle Shipe collected a career-high 31 digs.
How to Follow the Lady Flames
Live stats will be available for both of this weekend's matches, through links on LibertyFlames.com. Live stats will appear courtesy of the respective Athletics Communications offices of UNC Asheville and Gardner-Webb. Friday's match at UNC Asheville can also be viewed through free live video streaming via the Big South Network.
McQuitery Named Big South Freshman of the Week
Following a week in which she set a career high in kills, Liberty middle blocker Nzea McQuitery was named Big South Volleyball Freshman of the Week, Monday. It is her first career weekly honor.
She hit .368 for the week, averaging 2.38 kills and 0.62 blocks per set. McQuitery set a new career high with 13 kills on Friday against High Point, hitting .360 in the process. She ranks eighth in the conference with a .288 hitting percentage during Big South play.
Stepping Up on Defense
The Lady Flames lead the Big South in blocks, both overall (2.37) and in conference play (2.53), while leading the league in opponents' hitting percentage during Big South matches (.153).
On Friday against High Point, Liberty recorded a season-high 17 blocks, the most since a 17-block Lady Flames outburst, Oct. 21, 2011 at Winthrop. Kendle Rollins posted a career-high 11 blocks, becoming the first Lady Flame in the rally-scoring era to register back-to-back 10 block matches.
On Saturday, Liberty held Campbell to an opponents' season-low hitting percentage, -.023.
How Many Triple-Doubles is That Now?
On Friday against High Point, senior Jade Craycraft recorded her fifth triple-double of the season, and sixth of her career, with 10 kills, 32 assists and 13 digs, to go along with four blocks. She has now passed Kallie Corbin's (4, set in 2006) single-season program record for triple-doubles in the rally-scoring era. Craycraft has tied Corbin's six career triple-doubles, the most by a Lady Flame since the start of the 2001 season.
Craycraft became the fifth player in program history with 4,000 career assists, reaching the milestone on Saturday versus Campbell, and she is currently at 4,008.
Gabrielle Shipe collected a career-high 31 digs versus High Point, her fourth straight 20-dig match. She is the first Lady Flame since Kelly Haseman (35 digs vs. UNC Asheville, Nov. 13, 2010) with a 30-dig match. The last time a Liberty player had four or more 20-dig contests in a row was in 2006, when Lara Bartolomeo posted 20+ digs in six straight matches.
Shipe picked up her 1,000th career dig, Oct. 25, at Presbyterian College, and is currently ranked 17th in program history with 1,089 digs.
Moving on Up
Senior Lillie Happel recorded her seventh double-double of 2013 on Nov. 1 versus Radford, with 10 kills and 12 digs. In the process, she passed current assistant coach Rebecca Rudnick (2001-04) into 10th place in program history, and now has 1,185 career kills.
Happel needs 43 more digs to reach 1,000 career digs.
Own the Net
Redshirt senior Kendle Rollins leads the Big South in blocks per set, both overall (1.15) and in conference play (1.20).
With her back-to-back 10-block matches, she joins Loren Thomas (2), Chelaine McCarty (2) as the only Lady Flames with at least two 10-block matches since the start of the 2001 season.
Rollins ranks fifth in program history with 409 career blocks, 10 away from fourth-place Stacy Collier (1994-97)
Welcome Back
Redshirt sophomore Caroline Douglas, the 2012 Big South Player and Freshman of the Year, missed all but one of Liberty's first 19 matches this season due to injury. In six matches since returning full-time to the court, Douglas has recorded five double-digit kill contests. In a 3-2 setback to High Point, Friday, she recorded her first career double-double, with a season-high tying 14 kills and career-high 13 digs.

UNC Asheville (17-11, 7-5) is in a three-way tie for third in the conference, along with Liberty and High Point. The Bulldogs have a perfect 8-0 home record, including 5-0 in conference play at the Justice Center. Rachel Wells paces the Big South and ranks second in the nation with 5.95 digs per set.

The Lady Flames swept UNC Asheville, 3-0, on Oct. 5, 2013, outhitting the Bulldogs, .278-.017 to pick up their first Big South win. Liberty outblocked Asheville, 12-0, marking the first time in rally-scoring history that an opponent failed to register a single block.
Liberty vs. Gardner-Webb
Gardner-Webb (15-15, 6-6 Big South) has lost three in a row, and four out of its last five, after getting off to a 5-2 start in Big South play. The Runnin' Bulldogs are 7-2 at Paul Porter Arena this season. Erin Anderson leads the Runnin' Bulldogs with 2.82 kills per set, while Heather Feldman ranks third in the Big South with 9.99 assists per set. Anna Pashkova, at 5.25 digs per set, ranks fifth in the conference, while Tyra Montour is sixth with 1.01 blocks per set.
Third-year head coach Leo Sayles holds a 34-57 record at Gardner-Webb after going 153-111 during seven years at Bryan College.
Liberty leads the all-time series over the Runnin' Bulldogs, 14-2, winning the first 11 meetings. During each of Gardner-Webb's first four seasons in the Big South (2008-11), Liberty defeated Gardner-Webb in the Big South tournament's opening round.
The Runnin' Bulldogs rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Lady Flames, 3-2, on Oct. 4, earning its first-ever victory in the Vines Center. Erin Anderson led all players with 18 kills, one of four Runnin' Bulldogs with a double-double. Jade Craycraft recorded her second triple-double in a row, while Lillie Happel and Kendle Rollins both tallied 16 kills.
Ending on a High Note
Liberty has won its final match prior to the Big South Volleyball Championship during each of the last 16 seasons, dating back to 1997. The Lady Flames swept Gardner-Webb, 3-0, in the final match of the 2012 regular season. Prior to that, each of Liberty's previous three (2009-11) regular-season finales had ended in 3-2 victories for the Lady Flames.
Tight Pack
While the eight teams who will compete in the 2013 Big South Volleyball Championship have been determined, seeding remains up in the air with two matches left. Coastal Carolina and Radford lead the conference, at 9-3. Liberty, UNC Asheville and High Point, all 7-5, are tied for third. Those three are followed closely by Presbyterian College (7-6), Gardner-Webb (6-6) and Winthrop (6-7). Official seeding for the conference tournament will be announced by the Big South, Saturday evening.

Bye Bye, Schwinden
Just out from the Mets: Chris Schwinden to Triple-A. Vinny Rottino up. Rottino can help. He's got a solid bat, can play some catcher when Terry Collins wants to rest Josh Thole without punting both the 8 and 9 slots in his batting order, and will probably spot Ike Davis… Read More →

Hi. Just got a couple of quick questions about php with mySQL.
Firstly, if I perform a query, I know I can get an error back if there is an issue with the connection, but would I get an error back if I make a mistake like have an incorrect column name in my insert query? Everything seems to be happening for me, no error or anything, but data not going into table (I have checked that connection is good, and variables I am inserting hold values).
Secondly, could sessions cause an issue with performing an insert statement?
Reason I ask the second question is because once in a while, it will allow me to insert a record, but normally only if my table is empty.
any advise appreciated
it depends on how your php code is structured.
if you post your code it will be easier to help.
Ok. I know that my code goes into this function, added echos earlier to check
function registerUser($firstName, $surname, $email, $username, $password){
$md5pass = md5($password);
$_SESSION['regFirstname'] = $firstName;
$_SESSION['regSurname'] = $surname;
$_SESSION['regEmail'] = $email;
$_SESSION['regUsername'] = $username;
$_SESSION['regresult'] = addNewUser($firstName, $surname, $email, $username, $md5pass);
$_SESSION['registered'] = true;
addNewUser is called by one of the sessions, which is this
function addNewUser($firstName, $surname, $email, $username, $md5pass){
echo '
';
echo "
ENTER ADD NEW USER!
";
echo "
".$firstName."
";
echo "
".$surname."
";
echo "
".$email."
";
echo "
".$username."
";
echo "
".$md5pass."
";
echo "
";
global $conn;
$q = "INSERT INTO users (firstName, surname, email, username, password) VALUES ('$firstName', '$surname', '$email', '$username', '$md5pass')";
return mysql_query($q,$conn);
All the echos echo out the correct values, so I know these are all holding values.
At the top of this page, I include my Database.php. This performs a standard connection
$conn = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
if (!$conn)
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
constants.php holds my details. Connection returns no errors, and code goes into this file as I also tested this.
Reason the result of my qyery is assigned to a session is because I then use this session to decide what is displayed in this page. But even doing this, the session should not really effect the execution of the query.
One point to note is that the first column in my table is an ID with an auto increment. Didnt know if I needed to account for this in the query?
you don't have to account for the auto-increment in the query if the number of column names in the query matches the number and order of the inserted values in the query.
to output query executuion errors you can use something like
$query = "insert........................";
if(!mysql_query($query,$conn)) {
echo 'query = '.$query.'
';
echo 'Error - '.mysql_error();
for inserts, mysql_query() returns true on success or false on errors
kool, so the error I get isDuplicate entry '1' for key 1
Now I start of my insert columns like
(firstName, surname, email ...
In the database though, the first column is ID, and this is auto increment and a primary key. Would it be this causing the issue?
now we would really need to see the sql statement that you used to create the table so we can see the table column names, column types and what primary and/or other keys you have set.
No, that's not causing the issue. Unspecified columns just receive their default value.
Is the table empty?
Can you please post the structure of the table that you're attempting to work with.
Managed to find the sql for the table which is
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`firstName` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`surname` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`email` VARCHAR( 70 ) NOT NULL ,
`username` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL ,
`password` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL
And the error is what was stated in my last post.
While I'm no expert at MySQL, the INT(50) seems to be a problem.
yep, that int(50) could be a problem but I don't know for sure.
I usually use int(11) or just INT which defaults to INT(11) after the table is created in my database.
now, either that int(50) is an issue and/or somehow you already have a record whose id column = 1 or your table has multiple records with id = 1.
What I would do in this case after removing any duplicate id rows is
1) use your SQL gui (phpMyAdmin, SQLyog or whatever) and export that table as sql statements and data in the 1 export file which should be just a plain text file containing the sql to create the table and insert statements to insert the current data.
2) in the export file, change the INT(50) to just INT
3) run the exported sql script to recreate the table and reinsert the current data.
then run your php script and all will be well (fingers and toes are firmly crossed)
INT(50) is not the problem
INT(50) holds exactly the same range of numbers as INT(2) or INT(4) or INT(937)
so just out of curiosity, what does the number in the () for an INT data type represent, if by the sounds of it, it can be anything.
I know that int, bigint, tinyint etc all have different ranges of integers they can store so I can't see what the x in INT(x) represents.
want me to look up the page in the manual for you which explains it?
if it's an online manual, just the link to it will be fine.
I'm sure there could be others reading this as well that could be interested in it.
everyone should have quick access to the manual, so in this case, since it's not just you, i'll give you a link to it -- http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/
down the right side are links to the individual chapters in the manual
what you're looking for is in chapter 10, section 10.2, numeric types
thanks again
that's why I put
because, apart from being true for any posts in these forums, if I didn't remind you of that fact I doubt very much I would have got a reply from you
everyone working with software should want, need, and know where to get access to the documentation for that software
i made an exception for you
yep, agree and that is why I often post links in my posts to more info because not all noobies know where to look.
but I think we are now digressing completely from the OP's intention for his thread.
so, getting back to the purpose of this thread, there is no need to necessarily export the table and recreate it.
all you need to do is first verify if in fact you have duplicate id's in your table and/or whether you have a record with id = 1 already in the table.
fascinating... and yet ~you~ did not know where to look in the mysql manual
sorry for dragging this on and on, but sometimes i let you have the last word, and sometimes i don't
