Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated July 25th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: My brother, the life of this world is very short, so we should love one another. But not without the love for Allah.. Some people say, "let us love each other." Well my brother, [without the love of Allah] you cannot love. You would just hate each other, you will be irritated, you will be annoyed by them and you cannot feel love. Without the love for Allah, you wouldn't feel love for people. How can you love them? You would simply hate. You would see them all as a competitor. You would see them all as scoundrels, may Allah forbid. You would look at them with hatred, with rage. It is not possible to love a person without feeling a fervent love for Allah. Once you feel love for Allah, you could only love trees, plants, you would feel love for animals, for cats.. Without love this world would be ruined. Look, the economic crisis has started, and there is this very famous person. There is this very prominent family and he is an important member of that family, a person who has connections with that family. I mean he is one of those people ruling the world. He listened to me very carefully and said; "Master, I am very much effected by your speech." He is of Jewish origin. Yet he is a secular person, I mean he is not a religious person, he is not a devout Jew but his respect for religion is very well.
I said; "the world will be ruined if people do not love Allah, if they do not feel love for Allah." Economic crisis? Well we have said it will end in 2014 but then the crisis wouldn't come to an end in 2012. Without the love for Allah , without a fervent love for Allah neither economic crisis, nor these earthquakes, nor these pain or sorrows would come to an end. In a world in which people feel hatred for each other, economic crisis is bound to occur. Why should the man want to manufacture anything, my brother? Why should there be quality in anything? Why should the man want to produce a beautiful food? He would just want to earn the most he can in the shortest time by producing the worst and the cheapest. And he would want to hide his money egotistically without giving it away to anyone. He wouldn't want to distribute it either. For instance he would want to produce a high quality food. I mean, may Allah forgive such people, but I am saying these for those who think like that, the man would say- may Allah forbid- "let them be stuffed!" He would say; "Why should I be doing a favor for them, why should I present a beauty for them?" He would feel hatred. Everyone, every person around would be repellant for such a person. Not believing in Allah, not feeling love for Allah is a gruesome system.

Thrall masters the business of geography
Published: Sunday, March 31, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 12:45 a.m.
Grant Thrall, Ph.D., pioneered a new field of study — business geography — at the University of Florida.
Grant Ian Thrall
Age: 66.
Occupation: Founder and owner, Business Geography Advisors.
Personal: Married to Susan Thrall.
Pets: Ralph the concrete gator.
Dream partners for lunch: John Hospers — "He was my undergraduate philosophy professor and first Libertarian Party nominee for president of the United States"; Hillary Clinton.
Favorite book: "Business Geography and New Real Estate Market Analysis," by Grant Ian Thrall.
Last book read: "What Went Wrong?: The Clash Between Islam and Modernity in the Middle East" by Bernard Lewis.
Favorite TV shows: "The Big Bang Theory," "Borgia," "Empires: Martin Luther," "Battlefield Detectives: Alesiam," "The Tudors."
Playing in his car: "Real Jazz" on Sirius.
Favorite listening: On Pandora: Lalo Schifrin, John Lee Hooker, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Diana Krall, Carl Orff.
Hobbies: Harley-Davidsons, Porsches, golf.
Education: Bachelor's in business and economics, California State University at Los Angeles; MA in economics, Ohio State University; Ph.D. in geography and economics, Ohio State.
"I just kind of invented my subject area … I had the only program of that kind in the United States," Thrall said.
Business geography involves using sophisticated technologies to interpret and analyze data to help businesses make decisions.
Thrall, a professor at UF from 1983 to 2010, was appointed to a visiting chair of excellence position in sustainable real estate at the Fogelman College of Business and Economics at the University of Memphis from 2010 to 2011.
Currently, Thrall serves as president of the American Real Estate Society and owns a consulting firm, Business Geography Advisors, which he runs from his home in Haile Plantation.
As a consultant, Thrall said he is sometimes asked during meetings with company executives: " 'Geography? What does that have to do with money?' Well, you make the wrong decision (about a business' location), you've just lost $4.5 million. That's how important it is."
Thrall uses geographic information systems (GIS) software, a mapping system used to analyze a vast array of geographic data. GIS integrates information ranging from real estate, competition and infrastructure to demographics and consumer lifestyles.
The demographics are culled from many sources, such as credit card companies and stores' customer rewards programs, which are often marketed to consumers as opportunities for savings.
"That's not just for fun," Thrall said. "That's for a database. That's for people like me to analyze. It's big business."
Thrall can narrow down what people consume in a specific ZIP code-plus-four digits. And "if I know what you consume, then I know what your preferences are." Layers of data are added in GIS to allow the geographer to customize the data according to the objective for research, such as projecting the revenue for a business.
Thrall's wife, Susan, who holds a Ph.D. in GIS and computer science, will sometimes write software for clients and help with large database operations.
Through his consulting firm, Thrall also serves as an expert witness, which he finds extremely rewarding.
While no longer a professor at UF, Thrall is a member of several graduate student committees and serves as a fellow in the Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research, where he occasionally lectures and also provides research to the center.
Founded in 1985, the American Real Estate Society, or ARES, of which Thrall is now president, is an association of real estate thought leaders, with members drawn from academia and the profession at large, both in the United States and internationally, according to its website.
ARES produces six trade journals and has about 1,650 members, including organizations such as the National Association of Realtors and the Appraisal Institute.
"They like the scholarship," Thrall said. "They want to know what the new thinking is to give them a competitive edge."
ARES' 29th annual meeting will be held April 9-13 in Hawaii. The meeting will include 63 sessions organized by cutting-edge topics and more than 220 (research) papers, Thrall wrote in the program.
"(Thrall) has made a great contribution in bridging the gap between the geographers and real estate, both on the business side and the academic side. It's not so big anymore because of Grant," said Steve Laposa, Ph.D., a member and past president of ARES.
Since they first met through the association in the early 1990s, Thrall and Laposa have worked on a number of projects together.
When Laposa worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers, now known as PwC, for instance, he would use Thrall as a consultant on business geography and mapping for high-profile clients.
"In my opinion," Laposa said, "(Thrall is) one of the best that I know in the field of business geography."

Former SMWC president honored during inaugural Wabash Valley Woman of Influence
April 26th, 2012 | SMWC
In the late 60s, bouncing on a train through Taiwan, the secretary general of the Sisters of Providence leaned in and said, "By the way, we're naming you president of the College next year."
That was how Jeanne Knoerle, SP, Ph.D.,'49, learned she was to become the 12th president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, a task that began decades of service to the Wabash Valley. From establishing SMWC's distance education program to creating Our Green Valley Alliance for Sustainability, she has enriched her community and beyond. In recognition of her leadership, Knoerle received one of the inaugural 2012 Women of Influence awards, which honored eight prominent Wabash Valley women for their leadership, vision and courage.
"I am very grateful," Knoerle said. "Women in Terre Haute have made great contributions and I'm happy that this group is raising their visibility."
The fundraiser breakfast, which raised proceeds for Success by 6, a United Way program that strengthens reading skills, was held on Thursday, April 19, 2012. The Sisters of Providence nominated Knoerle in honor of her contributions to their congregation and the community.
"Sister Jeanne is quick to recognize a need and so capable in gathering the right people to address that need," said Denise Wilkinson '68, general superior of the Sisters of Providence. "Nominating her was definitely a 'no-brainer' for us."
Knoerle earned her bachelor's in theatre at SMWC shortly before entering the Sisters of Providence. She then earned her master's in journalism, an MBA and a doctorate in comparative literature, with an emphasis in Chinese and Japanese literature, all from Indiana University. She taught at a university in Taiwan until 1968, when she returned to her alma mater as president and pioneered an innovative approach to education.
"The 1960s and 1970s were a transition time for higher education," she explained. "I wanted to find a way to offer the best of The Woods to women who couldn't get to the campus."
Thus, in 1973, the nation's second distance bachelor's degree program was born. Originally named Women's External Degree, the WED program became known as the Woods External Degree program in the 1990s when it began admitting men. Nearly 40 years later, that program, now known as Woods Online, has helped more than 2500 men and women aspire higher.
"Sister Jeanne took a leap of faith when she established our distance program, which has thrived over the decades," said Dottie L. King, Ph.D., president of SMWC. "As a former president of SMWC, she provides me with valuable insight and feedback. Her faith in Providence reminds me that the work we do is in the name of a higher power."
After she retired from the College in 1983, Knoerle continued to mentor the community as the program director in the religion division at the Lilly Endowment and then the founder of Our Green Valley for Sustainability.
"It was amazing to watch Sister Jeanne assemble the leaders of the area's biggest institutions to advance sustainability," said Lorrie Heber, president of Our Green Valley Alliance for Sustainability and a 2008 graduate of SMWC's Master of Leadership Development program. "She led them in crafting a mission and a commitment to the cause."
Our Green Valley began as a kitchen table organization, Heber said. Knoerle invited a group of prominent Wabash Valley businesses and leaders to come together and discuss ways they can, and do, promote environmental sustainability in the community.
"People were ready," Knoerle said. "All they wanted was someone to say 'Let's do it.'" The organization held its first major event, Green Town Terre Haute, on Nov. 17, 2011, at Indiana State University. More than 300 attendees united to inspire and be inspired by innovative ways to make a more positive environmental impact right here in Terre Haute.
"Her ingenuity, leadership and ability to elicit change inspires and influences the entire community," King said.
Knoerle has been a progressive force in the Wabash Valley since she first stepped onto SMWC's campus in 1945. Since then, she has inspired future generations of leaders to take risks with courage and confidence. "If women do not take risks, there will be no improvement for anyone" Knoerle said. "If you want to grow in life, you have to learn to take risks."

Octomom in a Bikini: This is happening.
Well, this was inevitable. That being said, who the hell picks up a camera and goes, "Hey, you know what would be awesome to capture forever? Nadya Suleman in a bikini"? I honestly didn't think there were that many drugs on the planet. Also, not to scare anybody, but you know there's a sex tape just around the corner and I guarantee you it'll contain this exchange:
OCTOMOM: Stick it in!
DUDE: I can't, there's a day care falling out.
Sign me up for that.
Thanks to Matt Varden. But not really.

TAUNTON find themselves in a positive, optimistic frame of mind as the new season approaches.
The AGM in July revealed the finances to be in good shape with all activities at the club yielding a surplus of just under £11,000 – a heartening improvement.
Stalwart Jack Matthews (president), chairman John Wrelton, secretary Ben Goddard and treasurer Kevin McCarthy were all re-elected with much praise being given to what is proving to be a solid administration team.
On the playing front the coaching team of Tony Yapp, Chris Brown and Keith Brooking have all signed contracts committing them to the club for the next three seasons.
And given their success last season when the Taunton Titans finished sixth in National League 2 (South) – their highest position in the club's 139-year history – there is a buzz of excitement and anticipation around the dressing room.
Such is the team spirit that a large majority of last season's young, emerging squad have signed on for this coming campaign and their ranks have been augmented by the return from long-term injuries of Joe Bartlett (scrum half) and Alex Wilcockson (full back and utility back).
In addition there are new faces in centre Matthew Tachias (Royal Navy and Brixham), half back Ollie Massey-Birch (Cardiff Met), utility half-back Lewis Webb and half-back James Bath (Exeter University).
Yapp said: "I'm really pleased with the way the guys are progressing through pre-season and provided we can get a few more results away from home we might well be a force to be reckoned with.
"We have a difficult first third of the season but these lads now know their way around the park and can grind it out with the best in the league.
"Training has been ongoing since the end of June and has been consistently attended by 35-40 players and there is no doubt the 2nd and 3rd XVs will be strengthened by this influx of new talent and the enthusiasm they bring with them."
Friendly pre-season games for the Titans have been arranged against Exeter University next Tuesday, Newton Abbott (Thursday) and University of Wales 2nd and 1st XVs on August 30. The league season begins on September 6 with The Titans at Cambridge while seven days later they entertain Clifton.

WILTSHIRE trainer Alan King had a special visitor to his Barbury Castle yard yesterday when he welcomed a wheelie bin cleaner who picked up £1,342,559 following Chatez' win at Haydock on Saturday.
Craig Brazier became one of Britain's biggest ever individual betting shop winners when King's horse claimed the final leg of six at Haydock on Saturday, making him one of eight winners to share the Scoop6 jackpot for just a £2 stake.
Brazier, from Mansfield, is now in line to play for a further £5,481,763 in the bonus race this weekend having already won £1million than the lifetime earnings of he and his partner Tracy to date.
Brazier yesterday was able to meet King and the horse which won him his fortune and revealed he may well spend some of his money on a horse, which he would love King to train.
"I started bin cleaning in 1996 and I will carry on cleaning wheelie bins as I do it part-time four days a week and enjoy the job," he said.
"I've been doing a 50p each-way Lucky 15 on four horses on a Saturday for years, but have only done the Scoop6 three times - the week before this I got four winners.
"But after I bought my fishing bait on Saturday I had £2 left and had another go - it's the best two quid I have ever spent.
"I was fishing on Sunday after the win, but I finished last as I'd netted my big win the day before and caught some sleep on the bank.
"I could not breathe when I realised I won the money - I was jumping round the living room and dropped to my knees in shock when it won.
"Tracy was dozing off on the sofa and even though I was into the last leg with five winners already she said, 'You're not lucky enough to win that'.
"I put the race on the big TV and I woke her up watching the last race screaming, 'He's won it".
"I just love being given the opportunity to pat the horse that made me a millionaire and my daughters want me to give him a J2O as he'd need it after his run.
"I am now looking into owning a horse with Alan King - who was my favourite trainer even before this happened."

A BLOCKBUSTER British title clash between Rowley Regis welterweight Jason Welborn and champion Frankie Gavin could happen in the new year.
Welborn's manager Errol Johnson and Frank Warren's matchmaker Dean Powell have had discussions over a bumper Black Country v Birmingham derby clash, with Wolverhampton Civic Hall the likely venue if the British Board of Control approve the bout.
Midland champion Welborn has impressed in defences against James Flinn and Scott Haywood while Gavin, Britain's only amateur world champion, recently claimed the British title by beating veteran Junior Witter.
The Birmingham fighter, nicknamed 'Fun-time Frankie', has long been touted as a future world champion but Welborn feels he has the tools to pull off a shock.
He said: "If I fight Frankie I'll be fighting to win.
"He's a great boxer and I really like his style, I know him to talk to outside the ring and we get on well.
"But business is business and if I get my chance I'm ready to take it.
"Nothing has been signed and sealed yet but discussions have taken place.
"They are keen on a fight in the Midlands and if it happens it's likely to be in January."
Before he can turn his attentions to Gavin, Welborn must first get past Lithuanian Jan Balogh when the two meet in a ten rounder at the Civic on November 30.
It's the first action for the Rowley Regis man since his fifth-round stoppage of Haywood in June.
Welborn added: "The last few fights have done me a lot of good.
"People have seen what I'm capable of and I've also shown myself what I'm capable of.
"They have all been good, experienced boxers and I've come out of the fights well.
"I can't afford to get carried away, all my focus is on the 30th before I think about anything else."
Welborn's fight tops the bill of a show which also features the second professional fight for light-heavyweight Ricky Summers, who has recently spent time sparring IBF super-middleweight champion Carl Froch.
Bromsgrove middleweight Andrew Robinson and Dudley debutant Luke Paddock are also in action.

In-formatio goes on hiatus
I have used In-Formatio on and off for a few years. Now that I have a number of other projects in process, this blog is going on hiatus.
Feel free to keep reading the posts, but some of my newer work is at:
The 26 Martyrs
Last year, this commemoration fell on February 6th on the Roman Catholic Calendar and it is today on the Anglican calendar. It is still the same 26 martyrs.
A repost:
I happened across a mention that today on the Roman Catholic calendar that today is the remembrance for the 26 Martyrs of Japan.
I spent five years serving the church in Japan, and one of my most memorable trips was my pilgrimage to Nagasaki one December. I had been to Hiroshima a couple of times prior to that but wanted to visit the other city of WWII infamy. I learned more than I expected on that trip.
To this day, Nagasaki has a large population of Christian citizens and is full of churches, and museums of its Christian past. The most touching part of my trip to Nagasaki was visiting the site where 26 men and boys were martyred in 1597. Their story is quite compelling.
They were captured near Kyoto, marched through Kobe (where I lived) and over 600 miles to Nagasaki where they were hung on crucifixes. Their deaths were witnessed by a large Catholic communion in that city. Those killings were the beginning of a period of persecution of Christians that lasted until the late 1860?s in Japan. The church went under ground for nearly 300 years, and when missionaries reurned, they found elements of the faith still alive.
A couple of readings-
A prayer-
O God our Father, who art the source of strength to all thy saints, and who didst bring the holy martyrs of Japan through the suffering of the cross to the joys of life eternal: Grant that we, being encouraged by their example, may hold fast the faith that we profess, even unto death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Paul's Conversion
Today is the remembrance of Paul's Conversion.
Can you remember when your life was transformed?
Not all of us have the conversion story of Paul. Most were not struck down blind, and most did not turn from despicable lives to the narrow way. Many of us have white-bread stories that we are almost embarrassed about when confronted by our more evangelical neighbors.
But transformation and conversion happen…even if they don't come in bright and sparkly packages. I can point to the lawyer whose life turned around because of her work with orphans. Or, the young executive who had never studied the Bible until he was nearly 40 (though he had attended church all of his life). The secular woman who grew up in a Buddhist country that decided Jesus had something important to say to her life.
I can point to dozens of people who discovered that the poor in their community are to be loved and cherished. I know people who have showed up in church, taken the bread and cup fir the first time, and knew that they wanted to do this the rest of their life.
Every day, people meet Jesus on the Road to Damascus, but to them it looks more like Elm Street.
We are all blessed by their experiences.
Suggested reading:
Conversion of Paul (my post from last year)
The Season after the Epiphany
We are now in the season after the Epiphany on the liturgical calendar. It began following January 6th and will continue until Ash Wednesday (February 13). It is a short season, since Easter comes earlier this year, but the season never fails to bring up interesting topics in the lectionary and never fails to focus our thoughts on what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Next Sunday (January 13th) is known as Baptism of the Lord Sunday, and we get to meet John the Baptizer again (Luke 3:15-17, 21-22). We will get to contemplate what our baptism means to us, and to reconsider the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
The next Sunday (January 20th), the Gospel Lesson is John 2:1-11, the first miracle of Jesus. If Jesus can turn water into wine, what do you think he can do with us?
And on the last Sunday of January (January 27th) the Gospel Lesson is of Jesus preaching in the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:14-21). His sermon is short, he lets the reading from Isaiah speak for itself. And that is generally enough to stir up a congregation. Read on in that chapter and his hometown folks are ready to kill him.
May the light of Christ lead you through the days ahead. May Christ's revelation to the world, be more revealed to you, and in you…
Watch Night
There are plenty of resources for Watch Night in the Methodist tradition. Over the years as a pastor, I have used the Covenant Service on several occasions, on New Year's Eve, the first Sunday of the New Year, on other special occasions. My favorite services were those on New Year's. It is that countercultural element to being in worship on the brink of a New Year that makes sense to me.
Below is a version of the Covenant portion of the service to reflect upon as we enter 2013:
Sisters and brothers in Christ,
let us again accept our place within this
covenant which God has made with us and with all
who are called to be Christ's disciples.
This means that, by the help of the Holy
Spirit, we accept God's purpose for us,
and the call to love and serve God
in all our life and work.
Christ has many services to be done:
some are easy, others are difficult;
some bring honour, others bring reproach;
some are suitable to our natural inclinations
and material interests,
others are contrary to both;
in some we may please Christ and please
ourselves; in others we cannot please Christ except by
denying ourselves.
Yet the power to do all these things is given
to us in Christ, who strengthens us.
Therefore let us make this covenant of God
our own. Let us give ourselves to him,
trusting in his promises and relying on his
Eternal God,
in your faithful and enduring love
you call us to share in your gracious
covenant in Jesus Christ.
In obedience we hear and accept your
in love we seek to do your perfect will;
with joy we offer ourselves anew to you.
We are no longer our own but yours.
I am no longer my own but yours.
Your will, not mine, be done in all things,
wherever you may place me,
in all that I do
and in all that I may endure;
when there is work for me
and when there is none;
when I am troubled
and when I am at peace.
Your will be done
when I am valued
and when I am disregarded;
when I find fulfilment
and when it is lacking;
when I have all things,
and when I have nothing.
I willingly offer
all I have and am
to serve you,
as and where you choose.
Glorious and blessèd God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
you are mine and I am yours.
May it be so for ever.
Let this covenant now made on earth
be fulfilled in heaven. Amen.
St. John the Evangelist
Today is a day of remembrance for John the Evangelist on the Anglican and Roman Catholic calendars.
It is one of three red letter days in the week after Christmas–December 27 (Stephen), 28 (John), 29 (Holy Innocents). The remembrance of martyrs immediately following the Nativity remind us that this baby Jesus we celebrate was born into a real world, full of pain and death. And, it is a reminder to all of us that when we put our trust in the Christ Child, we will experience reality–sometimes its more real than we want.
It is a feast day for the community that I have been associated with for several years now. A Benedictine, Anglican group in Boston- The Society of St. John the Evangelist. Since becoming associated as a member of their dispersed fellowship, I have grown in my faith and have developed some holy disciplines that have been central to my life. When I was not working in the church, my community reminded me that I was in ministry every day, and that what I was called to be about Kingdom business. Now that I am back working in the church, they are a reminder that at the heart of all ministry is an ongoing relationship with God, and with others who are seeking the Kingdom Life.
Today, I pause and remember the Son of Thunder who left it all and followed Jesus on a journey that changed history, and our lives forever.
Shed upon your Church, O Lord, the brightness of your light; that we, being illumined by the teaching of your apostle and evangelist John, may so walk in the light of your truth, that at length we may attain to the fullness of eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Chain Mail T-Shirt
Atlas, the dorkiest item of clothing you'll ever find. Inevitably soon to be part of The Big Bang Theory's wardrobe. When we say chain mail, we mean real chain mail. Yes, thousands of chains put together to make a shirt. ...I don't think there really is anything else to say about this, except I want it.

My usual visits to Dominique Ansel Bakery consist of pastry followed by cake followed by ice cream. That is, until I discovered the sandwiches. Namely, the Chicken Salad Sandwich ($9.50), which is anything but ordinary. Unlike many chicken salads, this chicken breast here is actually moist and consistently tender. It's mixed with a good balance of housemade mayonnaise and a dab of Dijon mustard. Tiny snippets of chive are folded in for color and bite, as well as toasted pistachios. The chopped pistachios complement the salad perfectly, rounding it out with a bit of crunch. When tucked into a fresh house-baked brioche—a decidedly buttery plush round—this goes down easy.

text: We had a terrific ice storm here in January, and as a result have an opportunity to get plenty of wood. The types available to us are oak, pecan, pine and dogwood. I basically know not to mess with the pine, but what about the pecan and dogwood? Oak is a given, but I'm not sure we should just chip up the pecan. Can you use dogwood for BBQing?

Catherine May Richardson
12 March 1942 — Sibley, Iowa
March 12, 1942, Sibley Gazette Tribune:
Services Sunday for Mae Richardson: Miss Mae Richardson, age 62 died at a local hospital Wednesday March 4, after an illness of several months. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Methodist Church by the Rev. L.D. Havig-hurst.

About sinsi
I haven't even seen the first movie :(
All together now,
will not tolerate interference in its national sovereignty.
Rated R. For a movie it means 18+. for a beer it means 18+ (at least here in Australia). So, a purely descriptive term.
Another variation of the UKash scareware, over here it was the AFP after you. Even took a photo of you with the webcam.
Offshore bank - hide your money.
Offshore data bank - hide your data.
Select column, Format as Text.
It's a bit like MPAA vs iiNet - go after the smaller one in the hope that it carries on to the bigger ones.
One hope - the current Government is a bit on the nose at the moment. Let's hope that this doesn't sneak under the radar.
Well, it's the Interpol list, not the government's, so not their fault if other things are blocked.
Anyway, can't Interpol block them? Why is it up to individual countries to try and force laws like we could have had?
Obviously the 1997 Act is good enough, but why do ISP's need reminding?
"See all 58 Cheezburger Network Sites"
Not just cats...
"Many negotiating parties would consider releasing the text as a breach of confidence"
Surely just the one?
"How do you bury a website?"
There's your problem. The crap is with us forever.
I agree with most of your points, AC. The ratio of 'useful' to 'crap' is getting out of hand and only going to get worse. I can make up my own mind given accurate data but GIGO and the garbage is growing.
"It does not appear that the composer, Jerry Herman, cares or has complained about this"
Reverse Streisand Effect? Now he might care.
Don't get too excited, apparently the WA AG isn't sure. Looks like Atkinson was the fall guy for other no-vote AGs
Good luck trying to find all of the websites.
>I don't think anyone sees this and thinks that the carnival's corrupt.
Sorry Mike, that was my first impression. Especially with "The most corrupt province in Canada" in caps next to it.
So when my mobile phone alerts me to open wifi when I am driving around I am breaking and entering?
When I hear the music from the car next to me I am breaking and entering?
Well, they captured data which could have been P2P traffic, so now the RIAA and MPAA can go after them.
And you yanks pay us aussies out about our 'save the kiddies'.
How the hell do you regulate the internet? Even China can't get it right.

"This program turned out amazing! The design team did a great job of reviewing my product and adjusted the photo to make the test stand out more."
"The paper quality & ink used are gorgeous. The programs were delivered with a pre-made crease to make it easier to fold them in half. Prompt delivery."
"I ordered a matching program for my invitations because I wanted the people in my wedding party to be recoginzed when we sent out the invites. The final design was so much bertter after the design review team did their edits. They even added the the graphics in the inside of the program which were not part of the original design. Paper quality & printing was excellent. All the colors were vivid and the texts were very clear. All of our invitees thought our invitation was so beautiful and unique. Thanks, Wedding Paper Divas for providing us with a beautiful butterfly design for our wedding invitations! <3"
"The entire process was just amazing! The design team worked with me from beginning to end and helped me customize it 100% to my wedding. The color was absolutely perfect, and the quality was amazing."
"The programs for our wedding turned out to be exactly what we were hoping to have! The customizable colours and fonts allowed us to have programs that matched our invitations. The Wedding Paper Divas online help and designers were very helpful and adjusted the design as we requested. The delivery was even a week earlier than projected!"

Here's a topless pic of Katy Perry that just found it's way into my inbox and I have no idea where it came from, how old it is, if it's real, whatever. What I do know is those nipples are huge and this looks close enough to me. Of course we can't be certain until her people try to sue me in the morning, so on that note, I think it's time I reveal my name to expedite the process: SPENCER. PRATT. Just go ahead and serve the papers to the blow-up doll I pretended to divorce. Thanks.
Thanks to Sean. I've recommended you for the Congressional Medal of Honor.
UPDATE: Thanks to the Porn Ninjas in the comments this has definitely been declared a fake. False alarm, everybody, which is actually kind of a relief because I kind of thought this moment would be more magical and less I forgot I left my window opened. Hello, Mrs. Swanson. Yes, I know I'll go blind, Mrs. Swanson…
UPDATE: Apparently Katy's people have seen this and let's just say, they were less than thrilled. (I thought it was flattering.) So I don't end up in the poorhouse, enjoy these new shots from her Esquire UK spread which at least feature her real breasts, but only half the Photoshopping.

A spirit of lovelessness, of insanity has spread. We, on the other hand, insistently advocate love and brotherhood; with perseverance and determination.
Within the communist spirit one can also be conservative. In communism, the Stalinist mindset represents conservatism. One can be an orthodox communist, a conservative. Just like in the time of Stalin; they even grow the same kind of beard, wear the same kind of clothes as in the time of Stalin. This is conservatism. For instance, the followers of the Risale-i Nur (The Treatise of Light) wear the clothes of the time of Bediuzzaman; almond-shaped moustache, a shirt with a small collar, narrow tie, short hair peculiar to the followers of Risale-i Nur. This is also a kind of conservatism. Some say, "We wear the fez", again peculiar to the Ottoman times; some have the understanding of conservatism of the Ottoman times. Conservatism is very flexible. It is preserving any belief. Islam is not conservatism. Conservatism has no relation with Islam. Islam is Islam, and that is it. That is to say, once you become a Muslim, you preserve your faith, this is not conservatism, this is not conservatism. You improve your faith, have a very strong faith. Consequently conservatism is a flexible word. That is to say, it does not mean anything.
Even if you communicate the Qur'an from the beginning to its end, a person who believes in evolution would still not believe. First of all, this idol must be crushed and then the signs leading to faith must be told of. He still does not believe in the Qur'an. Telling the miracles of the Qur'an and the miracles Allah creates in the universe is essential. This aside, a very sincere style must be adopted.
It is assumed that faith is an easy issue. If faith was so easy, 99.99 percent of the world would not be irreligious. There is a tremendous spirit of hatred. Everyone hates one another; jealousy and envy are very widespread, so is lovelessness. All the world awaits the spirit of Mahdi. You see that it is not possible without the Mahdi.
(Regarding the martyrdom of 260 women and children in one night in Syria)
All of the soldiers committing this massacre in Syria know the Qur'an very well. They read it very often, they know it very well. These are people who have undergone Qur'anic education in their childhood. It is not possible by means of fiqh, only with faith. There is no faith in the world.
People do not come to have faith by reading the Qur'an. He will first have faith and then he will fear Allah. Note how it reads in the Qur'an: "You can only make those who have fear of Allah hear." A person who does not fear Allah is not influenced when he reads the Qur'an. That is why we give emphasis to the signs leading to faith, and that is why we have become so influential. Because the bigots have not come to understand this, they, according to their own minds, insistently only try to ruin this system of ours. But as they try, we make a better propaganda of it.
"We can give information about catechism and put an end to the issue." You can tell; there is always religious teaching in primary school, high school. Terrorists, anarchists; haven't they received religious education? Is there no knowledge about catechism? Many of the parents of the PKK members are pious. They know about catechism, they know how to pray. They mock because they are informed. They even know the minutest details. They also know how to fast, give alms, they know all of them. It is not a matter of catechism. They are Darwinists and materialists. They are Darwinists and materialists. Once they are Darwinists and materialists, you can make them read and memorize the Qur'an , give catechism information as much as you want. They would simply have no influence.
Islam has not a single complicated aspect. That is why, what is incumbent upon the state is not to raise conservative youth, but to put an end to Darwinist/Materialist education. It is incumbent upon the state to tell the signs leading to faith, to strengthen people's faith. Once their faith becomes profound, a generation who fears Allah, who loves Allah comes into being. Conservatism does not produce any results. The Ottomans were conservative and it was demolished. Conservatism does not take one anywhere. What will you preserve? Which faith? There is no conservatism; there is only Islam, being a Muslim. The ideal is to be a Muslim of the Qur'an, the kind of Muslim like the Companions of our Prophet (saas). There is nothing complicated.
(Explanations regarding the difficult life in the Chechen camps and the martyrdom of our Chechen brothers and the dire conditions of their families)
Now go to Chechnya and the first question they will pose to you is, "Which Islamic school do you adhere to?" If you are not one of that Islamic school or that community, it is over. I can't say it for all, only in the general sense, I mean. Let's go to Afghanistan; they will first ask from which Islamic school you are. They do not ask, "Are you a Muslim?" They ask your Islamic school or the Islamic community you belong to. A tremendous policy of hatred and division has enveloped the entire Islamic world. What is the solution? The system of Mahdi. As long as you resist the system of Mahdi, no end will come to this pain and suffering.
In those times when the dajjal is most rampant, the rewards are the highest. The reign of the world is given as a gift. Allah's real intention is to raise our ranks, make us receive more rewards. Otherwise the reigning over of the world is very easy for Allah.
There is no need for us to describe the weakness of faith. If people check themselves, they will immediately grasp it. I say, "There is weakness of faith in this world." Someone comes up and says, "No, that is not true." Even those scholars, hodjas you call "the most pious" suffer from weakness of faith. This is understood from their style, their speech and their way of life.
First of all the Islamic schools must be eliminated right away. This is one. There must be world sovereignty. This is the second point. In the Qur'an, Allah does not accept Islamic schools. He, in no way, accepts it. Allah speaks of a single ummah (community). There is no Islamic school. Once the Islamic Union is established, the ulama unites and they agree on a single Islamic school. That is the absence of Islamic schools is established. When we say, "....the absence of Islamic schools", we mean full adherence to the Qur'an. It turns into the period of the Companions, because in the time of our Prophet (saas) there were no Islamic schools.
It is essential to help the system of Mahdi and advocate the Unity of Islam and not to sit and weep. Grieving, mourning are the features of the morality of idolaters. Why would a person mourn? In order to rebel against Allah. That would simply mean saying to Allah, "Why did you take his soul? I am not happy with that." Allah does not ask us while He gives our soul, He would also not ask while taking it back. He gives us the soul for some wisdom and takes it back again for a reason. Weeping, feeling sorry is not a solution. What is the solution? The solution is to embrace the Unity of Islam and the system of Mahdi.
I want Muslims to be joyful, robust and strong. I do not want them to weep; I can't accept them to be weak, wretch, oppressed, desperate and with an inferiority complex. A Muslim does not weep but makes other weep. A Muslim makes an immoral person weep. He does not weep himself. He is not defeated but he defeats. He does not feel sorry but he makes others sorry. He does not fear but makes others fear for Allah's good approval. He makes the enemies of Allah weep by means of the morality of the Qur'an. Within the framework of the Qur'an. With his wisdom, conscience and faith. I will teach this to you.
From the hadith we understand that Allah has charged the Turks. The holy relics are here; the location where the holy relics exist is in charge. The sun rises from where it sets. Turkey will re-establish the Turkish Islamic Union. Insha'Allah.
A woman becomes more beautiful with love, if her features can be seen and appreciated.
Not every soul can tolerate the burqa. For instance, not everyone can wake up for the morning prayer. But if you can't do it, you can at least pray at noon. For instance, many people can not pray at night time; then at least fulfill your evening prayer. Or fulfill your Friday prayers but do not quit prayers entirely.2012-03-25 17:22:39

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"I ordered these for my wedding invitations, and they came our gorgeous! I loved the design and the color options they offered. I went with the square option, and used the cream colored background and solid color for the back design. I love that the paper is already shimmery, which also adds to the design. I did think the paper was a little thin, and maybe I should have ordered a thicker paper, but overall all I was very happy with my order and my invitations! My order also arrived earlier than expected."
"Loved my pearlized invites! Didn't want them to be overly fancy but had just the right amount of delicate and they are beautiful!"
"I used these for my wedding invitations and everyone who received them RAVED! They are nice and thick and printed beautifully. DO NOT forget to include the reception information on your invite like I did! I had the church information but failed to include location and start time for the cocktail hour! It simply says "reception to follow." I also took these incites and glued them into a pocket fold that was gold. I put stickers with our initials on them to seal the pocket fold. Looked AMAZING"
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"

text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday, June 25, that it suspended trading of Biozoom Inc., a German-based company that purports to be developing a hand-held "biofeedback" device, after the stock was recommended in advertisements that had been purchased in the Sunday New York Times and on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. The SEC said in its administrative order that it was taking action "due to a lack of current and accurate information concerning Biozoom" and because of concern that some Biozoom affiliates and shareholders may have "unjustifiably" relied upon Rule 144, the provision of the Securities Act that governs sales of restricted shares. Those shareholders, the company and others may be engaged in an unlawful distribution of shares through the OTC Markets QB platform, the SEC said. OTC Markets is a market for stocks that aren't listed on the major U.S. exchanges. Its QB platform features shares of such companies that are current in their filings with the SEC. Biozoom, which trades under the symbol BIZM, closed at $3.45 on June 24, implying a market capitalization of $206.1 million. The stock has almost tripled since May 22. Biozoom went public in February, through a reverse merger with a registered shell company. At the time, it raised $1.15 million in a private placement of convertible preferred stock to an investor that the company did not identify. Neither SEC officials nor representatives of Biozoom returned calls seeking comment. An article recommending Biozoom shares took up most of the space in full-page ads that were published in the June 23 issue of the New York Times and the June 21 issue of USA Today. Both of the ads were packaged, not as promotions of the stock, but as advertisements for a magazine called Global Financial Insight and included subscription information for the magazine. In the advertisement on the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show, Biozoom shares were mentioned as one of the top stock picks of a newsletter called TheStockReport.com. Biozoom has also been featured in more common outlets for stock promotions, including e-mail newsletters and Web sites that recommend penny stocks. At least 13 e-mail newsletters have included recommendations for Biozoom, according to Hotstocked.com, a Web site that tracks stock promotions.

Jessica Chastain at Critics' Choice Awards 2013
Critics' Choice Awards: Jessica Chastain
After her glamorous run last award season, we've been anxiously awaiting what a whole new year would mean for Jessica Chastain's red-carpet wardrobe. Tonight, we got our answer — the Zero Dark Thirty star stepped out in an ultrafeminine red Prada gown with an empire waist and ample embellishment at the neckline. To echo the jeweled detail, Chastain added a pair of high-wattage stud earrings and an armful of sparkly bracelets. We've seen Jessica embrace a more fashion-forward angle in designers like McQueen or minimalist gowns from the likes of Calvin Klein, but tonight the actress opted for something with a more classically glam feel. What's your take on the look?

Taunton & District Saturday League, Division Two
Wyvern Rangers 5, Stogursey 4
AN 85th minute winner from Tom Melhuish condemned Stogursey to defeat at Wyvern Rangers in a ninegoal thriller.
Goals from Dan Mosedale, Dean Marchent, Sam Gilder and Dan Long had seen the visitors level the game at 4-4, but Melhuish raced away to score his fourth of the afternoon and settle the game in Wyvern's favour in the dying minutes.
It was a tough result to take for Stogursey player/manager Dave Spilsbury, who was disappointed to come away with nothing having led three times.
He said: "It was a very strange game to be part of and it was especially annoying to lose the game after being ahead three times, but individual errors were to blame.
"Despite this I can't fault the effort of the players and there were positives to take in preparation for the Knockout Cup final against Blagdon Hill at Bridgwater Town on Tuesday."
Wyvern started brightly and scored an early penalty which Tom Melhuish scuffed home from 12 yards.
Stogursey got back in the game after two goalkeeping mistakes to go in 2-1 up at half-time.
Wyvern once again started the second half well and equalised through Melhuish again.
The game then went sloppy with both teams taking the lead and frittering it away – Melhuish sealed his hat-trick and Joe Enticott scored for Rangers.
It wasn't until the 85th minute that Melhuish broke away from the defenders to score his fourth and seal a dramatic victory for the home side.
Wyvern player/manager Daniel Pepperell believed his side deserved to win, but praised the efforts of both teams.
He said: "I'm delighted with the win against Stogursey. This was a good local football match between two clubs who play the game in the right spirit.
"We deserved the win today and I am a little disappointed that we didn't win by a larger margin.
"All at the Wyvern would like to wish Stogursey the best of luck in their cup final on Tuesday evening."

Miggy given rare reprieve for finale vs. Yanks
NEW YORK -- Miguel Cabrera was not in the Tigers' starting lineup on Thursday, but he was summoned to pinch-hit in the ninth inning of a 1-0 loss to the Yankees.
With two runners on and no outs, Cabrera hit into a double play against Yanks closer David Robertson.
A few days ago, manager Brad Ausmus told Cabrera that he was going to get one of the day games off during the team's nine-game road trip.
Cabrera, the two-time defending American League Most Valuable Player Award winner, is hitting .310 with 17 home runs and 84 RBIs.
Cabrera's power numbers have been down a bit this year. Last season, Cabrera hit his 17th home run on June 1. He has hit .330 or better every year since 2011. And while he's on pace for 118 RBIs this season, he drove in 137 runs last year and 139 the year before.
But, as Ausmus said, the problem with the expectations for Cabrera is that they come from a comparison to past seasons of himself.
"Miguel Cabrera's swing is so good that even when he's not right he gets his hits," Ausmus said. "There's not many people you can say that about."

You can integrate the JQuery Framework into DAY CQ (5.4) thereby enabling you to build components that take advantage of the JQuery framework. The JQuery framework is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies the creation of powerful components. For example, you can build components that contain visual effects, data grids that display information, user forms that capture information from end users, and so on. For more information about JQuery, see www.jquery.com.
The component that is created in this development article renders text and uses a JQuery fade effect. That is, the text becomes visible over a period of five seconds. The objective of this article is not to demonstrate how to create a complex JQeury effect, but rather guide you through the process of creating a CQ page and then how to make use of the JQuery framework.
NOTE: Before following along with this development article, make sure that you install DAY CQ 5.4 and have it running. Also, make sure that you have CRXDE, which is the development environment.
To create a DAY CQ page that uses the JQuery framework, perform the following tasks:
- Create a CQ 5.4 application that contains the page that displays the JQuery fade effect.
- Create a template on which the component that uses JQuery is based.
- Create a render component that uses the template.
- Add the JQuery framework to the component.
- Modify the component to use JQuery application logic.
- Create a site that contains a page that displays the component that contains a JQuery effect.
You can create a DAY CQ application that contains templates, components, and pages. Before you create application assets such as templates, components, and pages, you create an application, which is essentially a specific folder structure. You can create this folder by using CRXDE Lite.
The following illustration shows a typical application folder structure .

You are watching:California condors being rehabilitated at The Steve and Jackie Kane Condor Recovery Center.
The first ever Live Streaming California Condor cam is located in the hills of Big Sur, California, where the Ventana Wildlife Society is working diligently
with the California Condor Recovery team to help return these iconic birds to habitats in Central California.
Oakland Zoo's Condor Cam is situated in The Steve and Jackie Kane Condor Recovery Center on the grounds of Oakland Zoo. The rehabilitation center is designed for treatment and recovery of sick or injured California condors from the wild. Upon the bird's recovery, they will be returned to their natural habitat. In 2012, Oakland Zoo linked up with the California Condor Recovery Program. This partnership is significant because ill birds found in Big Sur or Pinnacles National Park can now be transported to a wildlife hospital that is much closer in proximity. Prior to the Oakland Zoo partnership, the nearest Veterinary hospital for condor care was in the Los Angeles Zoo, which is also a participant of the Condor Recovery Program.
"A Flight Plan for the California Condor" is a video produced by Oakland Zoo to showcase the plight of this majestic bird and why the Zoo is compelled to support conservation efforts to recover the California Condor. The goal of the film is to give people perspective and a reason to care about a bird with a wingspan of 9.5 feet. Oakland Zoo is proud to join organizations throughout California and the West Coast including Ventana Wildlife Society, Los Angeles Zoo, San Diego Zoo, and Pinnacles National Monument.
The live streaming of Condor Cams are sponsored by the FedEx Corporation and powered by Camzone.
Condors are scavengers which feed exclusively on carcasses. Lead poisoning, as a result of lead bullet fragments in game carcasses or waste piles, remains the largest threat to the birds. The goal of the California Condor Recovery Program is to research, recover, and expand the population of this species. Currently, there are only about 200 condors in the wild. For more information about the plight of the condor, check out our partner's website. http://www.ventanaws.org/species_condors/

BlackjackProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
When playing a game of blackjack, what are the odds that you will be dealt blackjack on the first deal? Assume you are playing with one opponent and your opponent is the dealer.
Note: 10, jack, queen and king all are worth 10. Aces are worth 11. You have blackjack when the values of both your cards add up to 21. There is only one deck of cards being dealt out.
AnswerTo receive a blackjack, either my first card is worth 10 and the second is an ace or vice versa, which makes the probability...
(16/52)*(4/51) + (4/52)*(16/51) = 128/2652
...which is approximately 4.83%

Has your state made the naughty or nice list?Comments Email Print
As mentioned in my previous Crain's blog entry, the actual FUTA tax rate is still 6% and for states who have timely paid back the funds they borrowed from the federal unemployment fund, there is a 5.4% FUTA credit that the federal government provides to employers. This results in a net FUTA tax of 0.6% on taxable wages. FUTA is generally paid on the first $7,000.00 of wages per employee per year which equates to a maximum of $42.00 in tax per employee per year paid by the employer.
The Department of Labor has recently released the official list of 19 states (including the US Virgin Islands) that will experience a reduction of this FUTA credit for 2012. These states all had outstanding unemployment insurance (UI) federal loans as of November 11, 2012. Employers who pay into any of these 19 state's unemployment insurance programs will owe additional FUTA tax at the end of 2012 because their FUTA credit has been reduced. How much you ask?
The credit reduction schedule is 0.3% for the first year and an additional 0.3% for each succeeding year that your state has not repaid the federal loan. The majority of states on the list will see a 0.6% credit reduction. In other words, these sophomore-standing employers will experience a reduced credit of 4.8% for 2012 and will have to pay an extra 0.6% FUTA tax by Jan 31st 2013.
Definitely worth noting again, the credit reduction is exclusive to employers who pay state unemployment insurance (SUI) tax to any of the 19 states listed. If you do not pay state unemployment insurance tax to any of these 19 states, you should receive the full FUTA credit of 5.4% and not owe any additional FUTA tax. For those of us employers in Ohio, we are not so lucky as our FUTA credit is being reduced by 0.6% so we will owe the extra 0.6% tax in 2012 due Jan 31st 2013 and reported on the annual 940 return. Your payroll provider or accountant will be able to inform you of the additional FUTA tax you will owe after your last 2012 payroll.
For your reading pleasure, here is a synopsis of the 19 states in which employers are subject to a higher net FUTA tax for 2012, due on Jan 31st 2013 and reported on the annual 940 return. They include: AZ, AK, CA, CT, DE, FL, GA, IN, KY, MO, NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, VT, VI, WI.
• 0.3% Credit Reduction States AZ, DE, & VT. Employers in these states will pay an additional 0.3% FUTA tax at the end of 2012. These three states did not have credit reductions in 2011 and are new to the list this year.
• 0.6% Credit Reduction States are AK, CA, CT, FL, GA, KY, MO, NV, NJ, NY, NC, OH, RI, and WI. Employers in these states will pay an extra 0.6% FUTA tax at the end of 2012. This basically doubles the amount employers owe for 2012.
• 0.9% and Higher Credit Reduction States are IN (0.9% credit reduction) and VI (a whopping 1.5% credit reduction).
There were also five states that were FUTA credit reduction states for 2011but have since repaid the federal unemployment loan. They are Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Employers in these states will get the full 5.4% FUTA tax credit and will not owe additional FUTA in 2012.
South Carolina is also not a FUTA credit reduction state for 2012, avoiding a reduction of 0.9% because it received conditional Labor Department approval of its credit reduction avoidance application.
I know this is a lot of information but with the tax storm approaching, you need to stay informed and be aware. I truly hope this has been informative for you and regardless of whether we get snow or have no snow in the coming weeks, I wish you a warm, festive and wonderful holiday season!

Apple iPhone 4 owners can now claim $15 for Antennagate if they didn't opt for the free bumper
0. phoneArena posted on 29 Mar 2012, 07:02
The dedicated website for the Apple iPhone 4 Antennagate class action lawsuit is now accepting signups for $15 in compensation money from the settlement with Apple, said the attorney-in-charge Ira Rothken on Twitter...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

"(a) experienced antenna or reception issues;
(b) been unable to return your iPhone 4 without incurring
any costs;
(c) been unwilling to use a case or free bumper for your
iPhone 4; and
(d) completed certain troubleshooting steps or are unable
to complete the troubleshooting steps because you no
longer own your iPhone."
The claimants have to be US residents, who are or have been owners of the iPhone 4, and satisfy all of the abovementioned requirements."
In other words, no one is getting $15 bucks from Apple because they've made it almost impossible to satisfy all of the Sheeply requirements. The only requirement should be proof of current or past iPhone 4 ownership, i.e., a receipt, AT&T contract proof (with iDud activation) or a nicely knitted sheep's wool hat.
What's $15 freakin' dollars anyway, the bloody thing cost $600-$749 and was useless.

ahh, the glory of class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs get jack crap while the laywer takes 1/3rd of the total pot.

You said it. And, anyone who accepted that free bumper case back in 2010, you know, the one that cost 0.10¢ to manufacture, is instantly disqualified from receiving the $15 settlement amount.
Apple to Shē€p, "Sorry little one, our records indicate that you received a free bumper case in the Fall of 2010: [$15.] DENIED!"

I just got a email about this.that apple settled
5. gaby1451 (Posts: 114; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Okay, I checked the website out and I saw the notice about iPhone 4 owners STILL being able to obtain a black bumper for free. So does that mean I can get one even though I didn't get my iPhone when it first came out?

I installed Apache, PHP, and MySQL last summer on my PC for developement work. Apache and PHP are running fine, and it appears that MySQL is running fine (I followed instructions in Kevin Yank's book, "Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQL".
But, I decided to try Joomla, and it is not recognizing that I have MySQL support. Then, from another article I read today on MySQL installation, it said to run the phpinfo() and scroll down the page. If you see a section on MySQL, you know it's installed. Well, I didn't see anything on MySQL at all in that list.
Apache is installed in C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache 2.2
PHP5 is installed in C:/PHP
MySQL is installed in C:/program Files/MySQL (Version, MySQL Server 5.1)
Any ideas why it's not being recognized? I can log into MySQL from the MySQL Command Line Client, and "play" (Created the Internet Joke Database)
Thanks in advance.
Bill O
Here is what I have in php.ini (and I just enabled extension=php_dba.dll now, so I don't know yet if that will make a difference):
; Windows Extensions; Note that ODBC support is built in, so no dll is needed for it.; Note that many DLL files are located in the extensions/ (PHP 4) ext/ (PHP 5); extension folders as well as the separate PECL DLL download (PHP 5).; Be sure to appropriately set the extension_dir directive.
I thought that I followed the instructions in Kevin's book to the letter, but I may have missed or overlooked something.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with the way my server is running on my PC. But I'd like to use some of these other programs (I have a client that I think Joomla would be right for).
Thanks, Dan.
It sounds like you don't have the MySQL extensions for PHP installed. MySQL is fine and there, but PHP can't communicate with it because it doesn't have the code to do so installed. I think there's a section in the book about installing that?
Did you restart the server after making changes to php.ini
I did forget that this morning, but it has been restarted in the past several times, so certainly the changes should have taken effect.
What do you think of the settings? Do they look correct? Is there anything else you can think of?
Thanks for the reply.
By the way, I think Kevin is right about installing manually. I have indeed learned a lot by doing it. I have no doubt that I will ge these programs talking to each other, but I have reviewed everything, and I have not spotted the error. But, I suppose it's like proofing your own writing. Better to have someone else do it.
When you try to connect to MySQL from PHP, are any errors thrown up?
Not sure what you mean "to connect to MySQL from PHP". However, I think I'm on the path to solving the problem.
Here is where I'm at:
Dan Grossman suggested that PHP was not properly configured to communicate with MySQL, and I think he's right.
I had downloaded (previously) phpMyAdmin, and went ahead and extracted the files to Apache2.2/htdocs. Following instructions to get it set up, I typed http://localhost/phpMyAdmin. I got a Error 503. Hmmmm. After much thinking, became suspicious about having Virtual Hosts set up. So, I went to httpd.conf and disabled (commented out) #Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, restarted Apache, and then type in the address bar: http://localhost/phpMyAdmin. Bingo. But I got an error (phpMyAdmin - ErrorCannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation), which basically tells me what Dan had said. But, at least it opened the program.
So, now I have to firgure out how to get them talking (I've verified the extensions are enabled, and put the libmysql.dll in the Windows path, restarted everything (including my computer), but still get the error.
That's where I am right now.
Is it possible to have Virtual Hosts enabled and have phpMyAdmin? Must be, but I'm not sure how to solve that one yet (I was getting the Error 503 when typing http://localhost/phpMyAdmin with Virtual Hosts enabled).
Thanks for the help. Sooner or later, I'll get it. I'm learning a lot along the way.
Regards,Bill O.
While perusing other forums and thinking of Kevin Yanks book, the lightbulb suddenly went on as to what you meant! Duh! You mean with a PHP script to connect. I have not tried that (at this point, I'm not sure I know how).
I've tried a few things today that I came across other places. It seems that I'm not the only one that has trouble, since PHP5 needs to be configured manually for MySQL support.
At this particular moment, I'm at a loss. When I run phpinfo.php, nothing comes up about MySQL. They aren't talking (like a wife and a mother-in-law!)
Both seem to be running. I run php scrips in my websites and they work. I can access MySQL with the command prompt, and it works. "They just aint talkin' to each other".
Computers are funny things. When I find the problem, I know it's going to be a "Duhh" moment. Usually when something doesn't work for me, it's either spelling or syntax. Syntax is everthing (and, of course, so is spelling). But, as I said before, I'm learning lots of things along the way that I wouldn't have otherwise learned (at least not now). I do want to get this resolved, however, so I can move forward.
Replying to my own post just to note that I did get the Virtual host thing solved, and my hunch was right: I set up "localhost" as a "Virtual host". Found that by searching Google on the issues I'm having.
I'm getting closer and closer to getting this licked, and have learned tons of urealated things in the process. It's only a matter of time.
Yes: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect() in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\MyWebsites\dreammakergraphics\ est.php on line 3" using following script from the SitePoint book:
$link= mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', 'flamenco'); if (!$link) { $output = 'Unable to connect to the database server.'; include 'output.html.php'; exit(); }
As noted previously, there is no problem accessing db using MySQL Command Line Client.
This is really getting frustrating. I have Googled for answers, and I see many, many people have trouble getting PHP5 to work with MYSQL. Some have found solutions (which I have tried, including copying libmysql.dll into Windows/System32 — which is not recommended by anyone —); it still does not work.
I have moved a copy of php.ini over to Windows, have moved extension files from C:/PHP/ext into C:PHP. Restarted Apache, restarted my computer. Nothing seems to work
This moring I notice in phpinfo() Session.save_Path shows "no value", which is odd because I do have it set to, session.save_path = "C:/Windows/Temp" (I changed the backslashes to forward slashes to see if that had an effect — nada!)
There must be an answer out there somewhere.
Configuring PHP in Windows can be a pain. Never have such problems in Linux.
I would simply uninstall apache and mysql, and install WAMP or XAMPP. One click and your whole environment is created for you (apache+mysql+PHP+perl+phpmyadmin). Everything's put in the right place so you don't have to figure it out yourself.
Read through this doc, http://www.ricocheting.com/server/ which I've had success with.
One thing to note about WAMP/XAMPP installs (unless things have changed), you'll be able to connect to mysql fine. The thing is they use ROOT as the user and no password.
This is how mysql installs by default. if you create another account and assign it a password you still have to go in and change the file phpmyadmin points to in order to get it to work.
I have used both in the past. Found installing them separately and following the link I provided gave more understanding of how the pieces worked together.
Well, this is what SitePoint (Kevin Yank) recommends in his book, which is why I chose to go that route. I have indeed learned a lot, and I'm not having a problem with PHP or Apache. It's MySQL that is the problem (and by extension, phpMyAdmin).
Since there is no urgency in my getting this working on my PC, I may still try to solve it. Other people have. It seems that everyone finds a different solution, probably because of different errors in their particular configuration.
I really hate to undo everything and re-install. I'm always afraid that when I'm done, nothing will work.
I have been just trying to go back through with a fine tooth comb and make sure everthing matches up properly.
One thing I'm not clear about: When to use the backslash and when to use the forward slash. I thought that Kevin Yank had said to always use forward slashes. Then somewhere I saw (don't remember where) and example that showed the backslash being used. One person reported that when he corrected his .ini files to use the forward slash, his problem was solved. Any thoughts? What is the proper rule?
Point well taken, and I may end up doing that, though I don't want to (it's become a challenge :D). But you're right; everyone everyplace has said it is a pain.
I really think my problem is that there is one, maybe two things that I have done (file location, or something) that it doesn't like.
I did notice that phpinfo() showed extension_dir C:\php5, when I had PHP installed in C:\PHP (I had changed this at one point to simply C:\PHP). So, I'm tring to go through and clean up such things, as I strongly suspect this is my problem. I renamed that directory C:\PHP5, and changed it everywhere else.
Also, I have two php.ini files, one in C:\WINDOWS, and one in C:\PHP5, so there may have been some conflict. I had read that it should not be in C:\WINDOWS, then a number of threads said that when they put it there, it solved their problem. There is a lot of confusion out there. I know I need to have it one place or the other, not both.
Since there is really no urgency in me getting this solved, I'm going to keep playing with it for a while. If I get it working, the educational value to me will have been worth it.
Thanks for your reply.
More on this:
Some research, reading many blogs and forums on this problem reveals that the real problem is that PHP is not loading the php.ini file (and therefore, no extensions).
A look at phpinfo() confirms, no php.ini file loaded. It seems PHP does not care. If it can't find it, it shrugs and uses all the defaults.
Now the problem is, why can't it find my php.ini file?
I have tried everyting to no avail. One person posted that when he reinstalled php, his problem went away ... till he made some changes to the .ini file and then the problem appeared once again.
This really is frustrating, and installing WAMP is not the solution either, as some of these people had done that.
Bill O.
In phpinfo() what values do you have for Configuration File (php.ini) Path and Loaded Configuration File ?
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINDOWS
Loaded Configuration File: (None)
This is what evreyone with this problem is reporting. Further, I find out that (this in the installation documentation) C:\Windows is the default directory where PHP looks for the php.ini file. However most agree that it is not wise to place the file in the Windows directory, but to leave it in the PHP direcory and put the PHP directoy in the PATH via enviromental variables.
Secondly, the Directive in the httpd.conf file
PHPIniDir "c:/php5/"
It is now my conclusion, and that of others, that this problem is a PHP bug.
Evidence of this is that some have reported that after struggling with this for a long time, things have mysteriously started working, and they don't know why.
I have also read on other forums, that installing WAMP makes no difference. Many have reported this problem with that installation as well, and also on iMac installations.
I should also point out that there is nothing wrong with the instructions in Kevin Yank's book. They are right from the PHP installation guide bundled with the software.
Summary: PHP is not loading the custom php.ini file, which means that it loads none of the extensions you have set, and therefore, neither Joomla, phpMyAdmin, nor any other program that requires PHP and MySQL to communicate, will run.
So way back, many posts ago, I provided a link that will walk you through, step-by-step, setting up php, apache, mysql and then how to configure php to work with mysql correctly.
Did you follow the link and try everything?
Yes, I did. Those are the exact same instructions that I have found everywhere, and are also shipped with PHP.
However, as explained above, the php.ini file does not load. Moreover, this is a problem that is cropping up no matter what your platform.
I'm reading another thread today http://wiki.cementhorizon.com/display/CH/Solution+-+Unable+to+load+dynamic+library+C+php+ext+php_mysql.dll+-+the+specified+module+could+not+be+found
which is saying that some of these extensions must be loaded first before they will work.
In the Apache folder on the server there should be a folder called "bin" try copying php.ini into that (the bin) folder then restart the server.

The goals with testing are to identify gout, to distinguish it from other conditions, such as other types of arthritis that may have similar symptoms, and to investigate the cause of increased uric acid concentrations in the blood.
Laboratory tests
- Synovial fluid analysis – used to detect the needle-like crystals derived from uric acid or other crystals that may be present; to look for signs of joint infection.
- Uric acid – to detect elevated levels in the blood; if a diagnosis of gout is made, uric acid testing may be performed regularly to monitor levels.
- Basic metabolic panel (BMP) – this group of tests may be used to evaluate and monitor kidney function.
- Complete blood count (CBC) – to determine if there is an abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells (leukocytosis) and to help differentiate between septic arthritis and gout.
- Sometimes other tests, such as an RF (rheumatoid factor) or an ANA (anti-nuclear antibody), may be ordered to rule out other causes of arthritis symptoms. A blood culture and/or synovial fluid culture may be ordered if septic arthritis is suspected.
Non-laboratory tests
- X-rays of the affected joints may show uric acid deposits and damage indicative of gouty arthritis.

I just registered domain name for one of my client running restaurant. The client asked me to provided him few samples of design to choose one from it. I had glance to couple of very beautiful themes but not sure about the future update of these themes. I am looking for theme to have mobile version and future regular updates free with good support. Its worth to mention the theme should be mix of services and food.
You can try some themes from themeforest.
I checked Themeforest and it has really nice themes. What they mean by responsive themes?
Responsive themes respond to user screen size: mobile, tablet, desktop with various monitor sizes.
There are some great free and highly customizable themes like Atahualpa.
I saw the demo of Atahualpa. The design is very simple and I need fancy theme.
You will have to invest something - money for a theme which already has design that you need, or work in case of a free theme. I recommended the theme for the 2nd option, idk about the 1st. "fancy theme for restaurant" doesn't mean much, I think you should be more specific about the site content and the desired style.
Just make a google image search, look for the best theme that suits your needs and go for it : Fancy wp theme . I searched for fancy restaurant wp theme :))
I am looking for paid theme. I selected couple of themes in ThemeForest and thinking to go for it. Will paste the link of theme once I purchased.
Thanks everyone, the OP has made a decision and no need for a link

I have moved...
Hello Friends. It has been a long time since I posted on here and that comes with a very good excuse. I have been working on a new blog which I will be operating under my own name. I realized that I'm kind of scattered and that has held me back from the consistency that I crave so much. Like I said in my last post on here I have been simplifying my creative life (and personal life as well...). It was time to cut out the unnecessary.
You'll find all my work under one "roof" if you will, over at Kinga Subject Blog and there's a new website in the works as well. I am still ironing out glitches and making changes as I go, but the dust should settle in the next few weeks.
I'm so grateful to those of you who have been there through the past few years, reading along and leaving your kind comments of encouragement. It meant the world to me and I hope you know that. I also hope that you will continue to keep in touch and follow along as I embark on a fresh start and a new adventure.
Kindest Regards,
May 7, 2013
A new light...
In my last post I mentioned that I will be working on a new format for blogging and that small planned overhaul has turned into a bigger plan to change almost everything about how I have my work organized on the net and in life in general. I'm calling it a creative spring cleaning, and it is very much overdue.
In fact I'm feeling the need to spring clean our little loft too. We don't do clutter but I'm starting to feel like we are holding on to things we don't need so things are feeling a bit cluttered. Does that make sense? Do you ever have that overwhelming feeling to clear out objects, clothes etc. that no longer serve a purpose? I kind of feel like I need to call a professional organizer though...this task is a bit daunting.
Anyway, I feel great about these new changes and hope to unveil them soon.
In the mean time I hope you're enjoying spring as much as I am.

Shop(s) open...
Hello lovely people. I am thrilled to announce that my Etsy shop(s) are finally open. Yes, I set out to launch one Etsy shop and ended up launching two.
shopSUITE404 - is where I have all of my "Suite 404" prints, stationery and letterpress stuff posted.
KingaSubjectArt - is where I have listed my original paintings.
I wanted to keep these two things separate because I kind of have two slightly different aesthetics going on in each and I didn't want Suite 404 to become that crazy kind of anything goes shop. I don't want to confuse people or overwhelm them.
It has been time consuming to list things so I have a ways to go yet in terms of filling these spaces but I'll get there eventually. In the mean time, you're welcome to check it out...just know that not all things are listed and in their place yet. I welcome any constructive feedback too...
Also, next week I hope to resume a more normal posting schedule here on the blog, with a slightly different approach...I'm so ready to return to a more normal routine in my life. Things have been crazy!
As always, thank you for stopping by. Wishing you a fabulous weekend.

Paintings and a launch date...
Hello friends. I hope that you have all been doing well. I wanted to share with you some of the things that I have been working on in the past little while, including these acrylic paintings on wood panels. I have a small collection of these ready to list...which I will be doing on Saturday, April 20th.
Yes, that's right. After taking what seems like forever to get myself ready, and after missing one planned launch date already, I'm finally going to list my work in an Etsy shop. I will have links and info next week and after the launch, once I get a grip on things, I will share a lookbook that I have been working on as well. It's interesting to see how all of the work I've done over the past two years is looking as a collection and I hope there is enough cohesion. This is something I always worry about because I'm not just interested in creating one type of art; I paint and I dabble with print-making and letterpress. My interests are varied, but the variety is what makes me tick creatively so I hope I've managed to make it all fit together. Time will tell I guess...
So April 20th it is...

The Ongoing Chalkboard Project {4}
This ongoing winter that never seems to want to end has me drawing naked trees and wishing for the green and warmth of spring. But let's not talk about the weather...
How are you?
