Gail Carriger's best-selling Parasol Protectorate series reimagines Victorian England with vampires, werewolves, and a dash of steampunk. Blameless is the third in the series starring the parasol-wielding Lady Alexia Maccon, formerly Alexia Tarabotti. After news spreads of her delicate condition—a surprise to everyone since she's married to a werewolf—Alexia is desperate to escape the London gossip. So she heads to Italy for a change of scenery.

I believe in true love, happily ever after, magic, and laughter. But mostly I believe in coffee.
"Dramatic pause are one thing but..."
The overly long pauses between chapters in this book were simply nerve wracking. Three seconds is one thing but 10 to 15 seconds of dead air lasts forever when you're waiting on the story to progress. On more that one occasion I thought something was wrong with my devise or headphones. Emily Gray does an excellent job and I hate to rate this as only 3 Stars, but I simply cannot recommend this book on audio without mentioning to horrible dead air pauses. I will continue on to the next book and hope for better editing.
I love to read, but I am time-limited. Audible allows me to keep up with all my favorite authors while on the hiking trail. Thanks, Audible!
"When you're right, you're right!"
The parasol protectorate is back and steampunk technology is in high gear. In this installment, Alexia is on a mission to prove her husband wrong. To accomplish this task, she rallies the old protectorate, but adds some new faces as well. Madame LeFoux moves to the forefront of this book, and I do not know why. She really is a hindrance to Alexia???s survival rather than an aid, but Ivy is as solid a friend as one could ever hope for. Major Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings returns and we get to see a new side of him. Floote is as faithful as always with more skills than previously assumed. Professor Lyall lives the thankless but competent existence of an extraordinary Beta. In the end, Alexia gets what she really wants and we learn more about her father in the process. All in all, this is an excellent book that resolves the Changeless cliffhanger. Emily Gray is perfect for this book, and I cannot wait for Heartless. It is important to note that you really cannot enjoy the books in this series out of order.
"I just couldn't get past the poor production!"
I thoroughly enjoyed the previous book and expected to love this one. Unfortunately, the entire reading was ruined by the incredibly long gaps between chapters, odd pacing (really slow at times and normal at others), and irregular unexpected pauses between sentences. It seemed as though the narrator recorded random sentences and paragraphs in separate sittings, which were then pieced together. The amount of dead space between every single chapter was so weirdly long that a few times I thought the book had ended. How did this production get a 'pass'?
"Love the story, but not the pauses"
As always, I am in love with this series and with the narrator. However, this book had an unfortunate proclivity for pauses. I am not sure why the pauses were not edited out, but they became annoying very quickly. It seemed there was a 15 second pause after every paragraph that left you feeling like the chapter had ended. I do hope these pauses will not continue in the next recorded book. I feel like they added several hours to the book just be leaving in the pauses. Of course, that may have been their goal?
"Now we're getting somewhere"
First off: this is the third of 5 stories and they really won't make sense unless you attack them in order.
Second: Carriger's story is finally taking shape...I guess she started to do that in Changeless, but Blameless is where it became obvious that there was a bigger mystery unfolding. Also, some of the more repetitive jokes from the first two books---such as Alexia's libido---got downplayed in this one.
Third: It is also the first book in which characters other than Alexia and Connel take center stage...in particular, Professor Lyall.
Lastly: The non-English accents presented in this book didn't tax Emily Gray's diction as much as the previous book.
"A good third chapter of the saga, but really annoying editing"
Funny and enchanting as the other books in this series, but the sound editor should be taken out and smacked on the head with Alexia's parasol. Long pauses between paragraphs and in some places all you hear is an intake of breath. An annoying distraction.
"Lovely book, trouble with the recording"
Whomever edited the audio left long gaps between the beginnings and ends of the chapters. The only thing to give away that the book hadn't accidently stopped was that about the time one would look to check, a breath would be heard and then a little longer and the book would start again. Long pauses between breaks in the story also.
Otherwise, well performed and well written. Enjoyable, except when I thought the book had turned off on its own.
"Such a shame about the production."
Sadly poorly executed.
Of course, Alexia is quite marvelous, but I am rather partial to the idea of her husband!
Emily Gray is perfect for these stories and previous installments have been very well performed, but this version went wrong somewhere in the editing/production. The pauses were all were all over the place, leaving great yawning silences,sometimes between sentences which really spoiled the pace of the story and overall effect for me.
Alexia's exploits are hilarious, but I got quite annoyed with this book because of the stupid gaps and pauses.
This audiobook needs to go back to the producers to be improved upon.
"More Lord Akeldema please"
I liked it a lot better than the 2nd book, but Lord Maccon needs to grovel a lot more and Lord Akeldama needs more screen time. On the other hand I was glad to see Prof.Lyall taking a larger role in this book. I found the scence with Biffy extremely touching and slash worthy LOL.
I can't believe that Alexia forgave Lord Maccon, what does she see in him? Madame Lefoux is a much better hero than him in this book, as she was in the previous one. (*'Д`)=3sigh. I also was dissapointed that we never got to find out more about her father. I suppose that shall be revealed in the later books.
I just wish that I can like Lord Maccon as much as I like the other characters but I can't seem to find any redeeming nor likable side of him yet. I hope there is more Lord Akeldama in the next book as well as Prof. Lyall and Madame Lefoux. As for Lord Maccon, I give up. He needs to do something drastic to change my mind. He needs to take a lesson from Cullan (Magic Slays)!

I am working on a web site that creates check boxes using DOM.
Creation is not an issue, however what I want to do is create an undetermined number of check boxes based on the contents of a database; sometimes I might need five and at other times I might need eleven. I keep thinking in terms of a for/next loop, or something along those lines.
So far I have met with failure.
Does anyone have any ideas or is what I am trying to do not possible.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there,
Welcome to the forums
How are you querying your database?Are you working in PHP (or some other server side language), or are you using JavaScript and AJAX (for example)?
Thanks for the response
I am using mySql and PHP on the server side. It is my intent to obtain the number of check boxes by querying the database; the number of check boxes needed equals the number of rows.
On the user side I am using javascript and dom to create the pages. I am using the javascript and dom to create pop up windows to manipulate data.
Do not know anything about ajax. Maybe I should?
Also, I am using a smarty 3 template engine.
Hope this is useful.
This is relatively straight forward to do.
You would do it in three steps:
Here's some code to do all of this:
$con = mysql_connect("server.com","user","pswd");
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("select count(1) FROM table");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$totalRows = $row[0];
echo "Total rows: " . $totalRows;
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Create checkboxes</title>

Here are the check boxes:

var numCheckbxes = <?php echo($totalRows) ?>;
var frag = document.createDocumentFragment();
for (i=0; i< numCheckbxes; i++){
var cb = document.createElement('input');
cb.type = 'checkbox';
cb.name = 'myCheckbox[]';
cb.value = 'checkbox-' + i;
Thank you for your response. The code you supplied will indeed work for a (for lack of better words) a normal html page, however I probably did not make myself very clear. And here may be a flaw on my part as I may be looking at the whole thing wrongly.
I have found that to do as you suggest for a pop window takes up space as I would need to create a div and then make it visible or invisible as needed. I suppose I could solve that problem by creating another file. This makes the page long and, if you will allow my vanity, upsets my sense of the tidy.
I have solved this problem by using the DOM method. I create pop ups on the fly using the DOM method via a javascript file. The pages take up no space, and are created and destroyed as needed; the pop ups also interact with the main page quite nicely. That is where I have the problem.
The code I am using is (sorry, I have not yet figured out how to create that neat code box)
more stuff before...
for (i-0; i<3; i++ )
checkbox[] = document.createElement('input');
checkbox[].setAttribute('id', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox[].setAttribute('name', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox[].setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
checkbox[].style.position = "absolute";
checkbox[].style.left = '200px';
if (i == 0)
checkbox[].style.top = '50px';
if (i == 2)
checkbox[].style.top = '90px';
if (i == 2)
checkbox[].style.top = '120px';
checkbox[].style.top = '50px';
checkbox_span[] = document.createElement('span');
checkbox_span[].style.position = "absolute";
checkbox_span[].style.left = '228px';
checkbox_span[].style.top = '50px'; (note: did not include the check here for brevity)
I have found that javascript logic works, for example the if check, but for some reason the for/next loop does not. I was looking at the code again this morning and wonder if that is not the problem. Maybe you can see the problem.
Then again you might point out that I am being silly and the real solution is........
By the way, I have followed the link on the bottom your reply and really like your counter. If you do not mind I plan on stealing the thing.
Anyway I really appreciate your response and help.
I'm afraid I'm a little confused.Could you please explain again what you are trying to accomplish.
So far we have established that you want to create a specific number of check boxes, based on the number of rows in one of your database tables.The rest went over my head.
When you are writing a reply, click "Go Advanced", then you will see a syntax highlighter.Highlight the code you want in a box and choose the correct syntax from the dropdown.On the very right of the second row you also have three shortcuts for "Code", "HTML" and "PHP".
Glad you liked it. Thanks Please note that the number set is not mine and I asked the original author (whose details appear on the page) for permission to use it.Also, if you do end up using the script, I would appreciate a comment on the blog post, maybe with a link to the page where we can see it in action.
So, sorry I couldn't understand your issue.If you provide a little further explanation, I'm sure we'll soon get to the bottom of it.
I am really at a loss here. I will try again one more time, but I do not mean to weary you as I am most appreciative of your replies
Getting a value from the database is not a problem. That I can do.
Under normal circumstances one creates a check box using the syntax
<input type='checkbox' .....>
I also understand that you can use a for/next loop to create a series of check boxes.
This is not what I am doing. I am using javascript/DOM to create a check box with the following typical syntax
checkbox_one = document.createElement('input');
checkbox_one.setAttribute('id', 'checkbox_one');
checkbox_one.setAttribute('name', 'checkbox_one');
checkbox_one.setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
checkbox_one.style.position = "absolute";
checkbox_one.style.left = '10px';
checkbox_one.style.top = '10px';
I then go on to attach the code using the syntax
In this case I need 7 check boxes.
In order to keep going I manually created seven check boxes and all is well.
However, in order to reduce the amount of code required I was looking at using a loop. Also, I would like to be able to determine the number if check boxes automatically so I do not have to revise the code in the event the number (extracted from the database) changes.
As an example
if (name == 'email_list')
button_two.setAttribute('value', 'Delete Email');
button_two.setAttribute('value', 'Delete Style');
for (i=0; i<3; i++ )
checkbox[] = document.createElement('input');
checkbox[].setAttribute('id', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox[].setAttribute('name', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox[].setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
checkbox[].style.position = "absolute";
checkbox[].style.left = '200px';
if (i == 0)
checkbox[].style.top = '50px';
if (i == 2)
checkbox[].style.top = '90px';
if (i == 2)
checkbox[].style.top = '120px';
checkbox_span[] = document.createElement('span');
checkbox_span[].style.position = "absolute";
checkbox_span[].style.left = '228px';
checkbox_span[].style.top = '50px';
does not work. Either I have gotten the syntax for check box creation wrong or this idea will not work.
I am trying to find out if my coding is in error or if my thinking on the subject is wrong. I find that in many cases the problem lies in incorrect understanding of a subject, but the trick is finding out which is which.
Regarding the counter I will be happy to post a comment. I am thinking about using a database table rather than a file. We will see. And yes, I understand the issue regarding the number set.
As for my name I tried logging in one time and went to change my password and managed to change my user name also. I intend to go to my profile and set matters straight.
Again, thank you for your kind reply.
Best regards.
The problem is being caused by the two square brackets you use after checkbox, checkbox_span, checkbox_sevenand checkbox_span_sevenIn JavaScript square brackets denote an array.
A further problem is that:
if (i == 2){
checkbox[].style.top = '90px';
will always get overridden by:
if (i == 2){
checkbox[].style.top = '120px';
Maybe you want to change the value in the first if statement to one?
Also, in the example above checkboxDiv, checkbox_seven and checkbox_span_seven are all undefined.
Try this instead:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>For loop to create checkboxes</title>

for (i=0; i<3; i++ ){
checkbox = document.createElement('input');
checkbox.setAttribute('id', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox.setAttribute('name', 'checkbox_seven');
checkbox.setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');
checkbox.style.position = "absolute";
checkbox.style.left = '200px';
if (i == 0) {
checkbox.style.top = '50px';
if (i == 1) {
checkbox.style.top = '90px';
if (i == 2) {
checkbox.style.top = '120px';
checkbox_span = document.createElement('span');
checkbox_span.style.position = "absolute";
checkbox_span.style.left = '228px';
checkbox_span.style.top = '50px';
checkboxDiv = document.getElementById("checkBoxes");
I hope this helps.
Taking out the brackets is just the ticket! I am sitting here looking at the new check boxes. Thank you. I figured I was doing something wrong but just could not see what.
The mechanics of the thing are now simple. And thanks for pointing out the numbering error. Yes, I understand there is stuff missing; I was just concentrating on that which was causing me a problem.
I have another question if you do not mind. You give me examples using a
 tag in the body of the document. I am using the javascript/DOM approach outside of the document because it allows me to create/remove and append functionality/screen exclusive of the document proper - I sort of think of it as popup functionality. This method takes no space; I used this on another project with good results. If you have no problem I can send you some screenshots/code to explain myself more clearly. If there is a better way I would like to learn about it.
Anyway, thank you for your guidance. And I will post something regarding the counter when I get to that point.
Glad we got it working
Yeah no problem.If you could post a condensed example here, I would be happy to take a look at it, or alternatively, a link to a site where I can see it in action.

A teacher who was recently the subject of a police missing person appeal has been charged with historical sex offences, it has emerged.
Stuart McCulloch, 56, a former teacher at the independent Snaresbrook Preparatory School in Woodford Road, was traced to Eastbourne on Friday and arrested after being reported missing a month earlier.
He has been charged with indecent assault on a boy under the age of 16, two counts of gross indecency on a boy under the age of 16 and indecent assault on a boy under the age of 14.
The offences are said to have taken place between 2000 and 2004 and relate to one victim.
McCulloch was charged on February 15, two days before he went missing.
Snaresbrook Prep. School Headteacher Chris Curl today confirmed that Mr McCulloch was no longer employed by the school and the alleged offences do not relate to pupils there.
Mr Curl said: "We are advised by the Police that Stuart McCulloch, a former teacher at Snaresbrook Prep School has been found, arrested and detained pending a court appearance in May 2014 to face charges of gross indecency and indecent assault.
"It is important to note that the charges faced by Mr McCulloch relate to alleged historical incidents and that the police have concluded their investigations and confirmed that there is no need for any further investigation in relation to the school, its staff or pupils.
"There are no allegations or charges whatsoever in relation to Mr McCulloch's role as a teacher at Snaresbrook Prep School.
"Neither the School nor the staff were aware of any issue relating to the charges before or while Mr McCulloch was employed by the school and all relevant checks were undertaken in relation to his appointment."
Mr McCulloch will appear at Snaresbrook Crown Court for a plea and case management hearing on May 12.
The school teaches children aged between three and 11.

Teacher Education
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The minors in Teacher Education (TEP) provide course work that leads to initial Illinois certification at the elementary or secondary level when combined with an appropriate academic major and fulfillment of general education and campus requirements. Candidates seeking a bachelor's degree and either initial Elementary or Secondary Certification should expect that their total program of study will exceed the minimum number of hours required for graduation.
Elementary Education candidates must major in an academic discipline. Candidates should work closely with their TEP advisor to determine an appropriate discipline. Secondary Education candidates may major in one of several programs leading to certification in the areas of English, mathematics, science, or social science.
The Teacher Education Program has prepared a student handbook and a handbook for student teachers. Both handbooks are available online at www.uis.edu/teachereducation/. Candidates are expected to consult these sources in addition to this catalog statement.
Candidates seeking initial certification in either elementary or secondary education may make formal application to the Teacher Education Program at any time. To have his/her application considered, a student must meet with a TEP representative, be admitted to UIS, and have an overall GPA of 2.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for all college work. The student must have passed the basic skills part of the Illinois Certification Exam, completed the formal application form (which can be found online at www.uis.edu/teachereducation), and submit official transcripts from all schools attended prior to applying to the Teacher Education Program. To be admitted to the program, candidates must have completed 1) educational psychology, 2) child development (elementary) or adolescent psychology (secondary), and 3) TEP 201, an introduction to education class, or the equivalent. As a fourth prerequisite, applicants are required to have TEP 202 or documentation of at least 30 hours of work with school-age children in an educational setting.
Once admitted to the program, a student must maintain a grade-point average of 3.00 in Teacher Education course work, a grade-point average of 2.75 in his/her disciplinary concentration (elementary) or area of specialization (secondary), and a grade-point average of 2.50 overall. He or she must also successfully complete the field experiences required in the methods courses. Candidate progress is evaluated throughout the Teacher Education Programs according to GPA, professional teaching standards, dispositions, and other factors. Candidates not meeting these criteria may be removed from or counseled out of the program.
All candidates applying to the Teacher Education Program and those candidates applying to clinical practice will be required to have a fingerprint criminal background check. Information and materials for this requirement are available on the TEP website.
Clinical Experiences
Methods courses required in the Elementary and Secondary minors require pre-clinical field experiences. Each of the elementary methods courses has 30 hours of required field experience, and each of the secondary methods courses has 40 hours of required field experience. TEP 401 Middle School Concepts and Methods includes 10 hours of field experience. All candidates will complete at least 120 hours of field experience prior to clinical practice. Candidates are assigned to area schools by TEP. At least one of the field experiences will occur in a school that is considered diverse in ethnicity, race, socioeconomic status, gender, exceptionalities, language, religion, sexual orientation, and/or geographical area. Per program policy, candidates are not permitted to take more than two methods courses per semester.
Clinical practice, which occurs during the final semester, is a 16-week professional experience in a public or private school setting. Candidates must pass the Illinois Certification Testing System (ICTS) content area exam in their area of certification and apply for clinical practice during the first two weeks of the semester prior to the actual experience. To be placed for clinical practice, candidates must have passed the content area exam for their certification area, have an overall GPA of 2.50, a GPA of 2.75 in their major (area of specialization), and a GPA of 3.00 in coursework for the TEP minor. Clinical practice placements are made in school districts in the area, and are supervised by university supervisors and local cooperating teachers. To be fully certified, candidates must also pass the Illinois State Board of Education's Assessment of Professional Teaching test. The program recommends that candidates take this exam prior to the completion of clinical practice. Clinical practice may be used to meet some of the requirements of the Engaged Citizenship Common Experience (ECCE).
General Education Requirements for All Candidates
Pursuant to the State of Illinois Professional Teaching Standards, candidates in teacher education are expected to possess general education knowledge. General education is defined as "theoretical and practical understanding generally expected of a liberally educated person." General education includes developing knowledge related to the arts, communications, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, sciences, and the social studies, from multicultural and global perspectives. The candidate must meet all general education requirements prior to application for clinical practice.
Prerequisites for Admission
1. A hard copy of the Illinois Test of Basic Skills indicating a passing score. Links to registration and study guides may be found on the Teacher Education website.
2. Fingerprint criminal background check. This form may be downloaded from the Teacher Education website.
3. PSY 327 or TEP 227 or another course in Educational Psychology*
4. PSY 322 or TEP 222 or another course in Child Development (elementary minor) or

To obtain elementary or secondary certification, candidates must meet all program requirements for entrance and fulfill the same sequence of courses that candidates seeking the minor in Elementary or Secondary Education are required to complete. In addition, candidates seeking endorsement in Secondary Education will have their transcripts reviewed by faculty in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to determine if and what additional course work must be completed before a recommendation for certification can be made. Assuming that all prerequisites are met, candidates can expect to spend a minimum of four semesters completing certification requirements. Interested parties should contact the department chair, the initial department advisor, or the department website for additional information regarding certification-only requirements.
The Teacher Education Program recommends candidates to the State Teacher Certification Board for K-9 certification or 6-12 certification on the completion of several criteria. Candidates must meet a set of general education requirements set by the program, complete and pass tests of basic skills, subject matter knowledge and assessment of professional teaching administered by the state certification system, and satisfy any additional requirements outlined by the State Teacher Certification Board, which has sole authority for awarding or denying teacher certification.
PROJECT MIDSTATE STUDENT SUPPORT for TEACHING (MSS)
Project MSS is a program designed to recruit teachers for the Springfield and Decatur school systems. Students in this program must make a serious commitment to teaching in either Springfield or Decatur. Students make application to the program after they have met the requirements for admission or been formally admitted to the Teacher Education program. Applications for admission are reviewed twice a year – one month prior to the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Students are notified in writing of their acceptance. All Project MSS retention requirements are consistent with the expectations of TEP. To maintain good standing in Project MSS and to be eligible for a tuition waiver and semester stipend, students must enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester; maintain a 2.75 overall grade-point average and a 3.00 grade-point average in TEP course work; enroll in the appropriate MSS course; conduct a minimum of 10 hours per semester of community service; and abide by all policies and procedures of Project MSS. A complete list of requirements is provided in the MSS Handbook, published online. Students failing to maintain any one of these requirements will be given one semester of probationary status and will be withdrawn if said deficiencies are not remedied. For more information, see the Project MSS website.

Information for Faculty Regarding Materials in Alternate Format
Contributed by Linda Uhll on 01/20/14
Student Disability Services will contact faculty regarding students in their classes who need materials in alternate format prior to the beginning of each semester.
In compliance with section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, class materials must be made available in alternate format for those students needing the accommodation. This includes course packets, handouts, syllabi, quizzes/exams and any other materials used in class. Alternate formats include audio versions of written documents, documents in Braille and/or enlarged print, video captioning and materials in electronic format.
Faculty should compile reading lists as early as possible since books from smaller publishing companies and those not designated as textbooks must be scanned and converted.
Whenever possible faculty should provide the accommodation. For example, if the student needs print materials enlarged, all standard copy machines are capable of this function. Typical enlargement is 121%.
If faculty are unable to provide the requested alternate format and have elected to use Student Disability Services, it's important to follow these procedures:
*Provide the materials to the Adaptive Technology Specialist at least 3-4 business days before the materials are needed by the student.
*Provide the materials in electronic format whenever possible.
*Inform SDS of where you would like the converted materials returned to you.
If you plan to show videos or movies in class and have a student with a hearing impairment, please check to see if they have closed-caption capability. If not, more recent versions typically have this feature. If you need assistance with obtaining newer versions of videos or having videos captioned, you can contact Kelly Merritt in the library's Multimedia Services who will assist you with this process.
If you plan to show You Tube videos, please contact the Adaptive Technology Specialist at firstname.lastname@example.com who can assist you.

I get complaints from my users that they can't search on three letter words like "eye". For years I was under the assumption that it's impossible with mySQL. Today I decided that I better ask the experts to see if I'm wrong. Here is the current query that I have in place. Please advise.
SELECT tID, date_format(date, '%m-%d-%Y') as date, viewed, summary, MATCH (summary,testimony,keywords) AGAINST ('$q') AS score FROM testimonies WHERE MATCH (summary,testimony,keywords) AGAINST ('$q') and approved = 'Yes' order by score desc limit 50
It certainly is possible with MySQL. There is an option ft_min_word_length you can put in the [mysqld] section of your my.ini and set it to the minimum length you want the full text search to be able handle (so in your case ft_min_word_length = 3).
ft_min_word_length = 3
You can read all about it in da manual over here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/fulltext-fine-tuning.html
Ok, it looks like these types of changes require a restart of the server. I pay a monthly hosting fee and so I don't have physical access to reboot the server on my own. What does someone in my situation do?
Thank you!
use LIKE instead of MATCH
not quite as fast, but unless you have millions of testimonies, the difference shouldn't be noticeable
Rudy, do I need to have my ISP upgrade the mySQL version? Here is my query:
SELECT tID, date_format(date, '%m-%d-%Y') as date, viewed, summary, LIKE (summary,testimony,keywords) AGAINST ('eye') AS score FROM testimonies WHERE LIKE (summary,testimony,keywords) AGAINST ('eye') and approved = 'Yes' order by score desc limit 50;
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'upgrade' at line 1
the error message doesn't match the query you posted, as it doesn't contain the word "upgrade"
LIKE has different syntax from MATCH, it's effectively a rewrite
Oh, you're right. Here is the real one.
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIKE' at line 1
I am familiar with using like by itself, but maybe in a query like this, where multiple columns are being examined, I have the format wrong:
there is only one way to use LIKE
SELECT tID
, DATE_FORMAT(date,'%m-%d-%Y') as date
, viewed
, summary
, CASE WHEN summary LIKE '%eye%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN testimony LIKE '%eye%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END +
CASE WHEN keywords LIKE '%eye%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS score
FROM testimonies
WHERE approved = 'Yes'
AND ( summary LIKE '%eye%'
OR testimony LIKE '%eye%'
OR keywords LIKE '%eye%' )
BY score DESC LIMIT 50;
you could run this whenever the user's search term is a single word of less than 4 cfharacters, and continue to use the MATCH query for other search terms
They don't mean to restart the physical server, just the mysqld daemon. If you have root access you can do that
That did it. Thanks again Rudy. Are you on elance.com by the way?
nope, sorry
Maybe you should be. It would be an excellent way for you to make extra money with your powerful database skills.

May 25 Is Missing Children's Day
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate May 25 as Missing Children's Day in Fairfax County. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, there are nearly 800,000 children missing each year; every day an average of 2,185 children are reported missing to law enforcement agencies. Children who are victims of non-family abductions number 58,200. More than 200,000 children are victims of family abductions. Residents are urged to participate with local government, schools, community-based organizations and families to educate themselves about the threat of child abduction and sexual exploitation, appropriate protective measures, and ways to respond and seek help from law enforcement and social services when needed.
The Final Buzzer Sounds
The Board of Supervisors will recognize Gary Hall, basketball coach of Herndon High School, for his years of service. During his 18-year tenure, Hall inspired the team to win six district championships and the 2006 Northern Region title, as well as guiding the Hornets to the state final in 2006.
Community Pride Fills Springfield Days
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate June 2-3 as Springfield Days in Fairfax County.

Widening the View of History
The Board of Supervisors will recognize the Centreville Historic District Work Group for its efforts to examine the possible expansion of the Centreville Historic Overlay District. The work group established a vision for the district and made recommendations of land parcels to be considered for addition to the historic district. Suggestions were made by the work group that will preserve archeology, restore history, educate the community and balance the environment. The Board of Supervisors adopted the expansion and modifications to the Centreville Historic Overlay District on Feb. 26, 2007.
May Is Community Action Month
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to designate May as Community Action Month in Fairfax County. More than 40 years ago community action agencies were created to promote self-sufficiency for low-income individuals and families, helping people to change their lives and turn hope into reality.
Public Works Week Is May 20-26

"Initially thought we'd design our own program. Elected to go with this beautiful and simple design. Many compliments as it added a stylish and superior quality look & feel to what we had hoped to do. Lightning fast turn-around. Love that we can design with template to organize detail and see it on the screen. Thanks WPD!"
"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."
"We loved how this came out! The programs look great and now match our invitations. We had a lot of issues fitting in all the text for the program, but were able to get everything in and looking nice thanks to their design team. I do wish this had had an option like trifold or the ability to write on the back, but they are still gorgeous none-the-less. We added the pearly shimmer to them, which makes them look much better. Another great buy from Wedding paper divas!"

Torre signs pledge promoting inclusion in sports
Non-profit Athlete Ally receives support in fighting homophobia, transphobia
MINNEAPOLIS -- One year ago, Major League Baseball set in place a new policy designed to prevent players from harassing and discriminating against other players based on their sexual orientation.
The policy, announced during the 2013 All-Star festivities, was distributed in the form of a memo to every Major and Minor League player. Posters were also made that now hang in all clubhouses.
This year, MLB has taken the initiative a step further. The league recently made public its partnership with Athlete Ally, a non-profit organization on a mission to educate and activate athletic communities to eliminate homophobia and transphobia in sports and to champion LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) equality.
Yogi Berra, behind the support of his museum and learning center, is an ambassador of Athlete Ally, and now another famous Yankee, former manager Joe Torre, has also offered his public endorsement.
Torre, who serves as MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations, stopped by Athlete Ally's booth at the T-Mobile All-Star FanFest on Monday to sign the Athlete Ally Pledge, which states:
"I pledge to lead my athletic community to respect and welcome all persons, regardless of their perceived or actual sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
"Beginning right now, I will do my part to promote the best of athletics by making all players feel respected on and off the field."
For Torre, signing the pledge was a simple, but necessary, step in moving the cause forward to ensure all athletes -- regardless of sexual orientation -- are treated equally.
"What you are is a human being," Torre said. "Respect is important. In order to get it, you have to give it."
Athlete Ally has received support from representatives of all sports leagues, with ambassadors coming from everywhere -- MLB, the NFL, the WNBA, tennis, the Olympics and soccer.
An Athlete Ally can be any person, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, who takes a stand against homophobia and transphobia in sports and brings the message of respect, inclusion and equality to an athletic community.
"What it stands for is the most important thing," Torre said, as a crowd of admiring fans began to form around him at the Athlete Ally booth. "It's life. We have to certainly understand it."
The Athlete Ally pledge can be signed on the organization's website, AthleteAlly.org. With each signature, and each celebrity endorsement, the organization's mission and message gain a little more steam.
There is also a growing list of athletes who have recently made public their homosexuality -- NBA player Jason Collins, recently drafted NFL defensive end Michael Sam and Australian Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe -- that show how much progress has been made in just a little over a year.
Athlete Ally celebrated Sam's coming out as a giant step forward in the visibility and acceptance of LGBT athletes. Ahead of the 2014 NFL Draft, the organization launched its #StandWithSam campaign, with the support of the National Black Justice Coalition. Athlete Ally collected more than 2,000 signatures from supporters agreeing that talent, not sexual orientation, is what matters on the field.
As support from the mainstream sports world increases, it's likely Athlete Ally will be able to add to the more than 80 colleges and 100 professional athletes that have become ambassadors.
Count MLB on that list of willing participants.

IRVINGTON, N.Y., May 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of Melanoma Monday® and National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention Month, MELA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: MELA) visited the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square today to ring the Opening Bell and sponsor free skin cancer checks.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click:http://www.multivu.com/mnr/61584-mela-sciences-rings-opening-bell-awareness-melanoma-detection-prevention
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130506/MM07003LOGO)
"We're here today to highlight the importance of skin exams as a critical part of an overall commitment to skin cancer prevention," said Dr. Joseph Gulfo, President and CEO of MELA Sciences, Inc. "We are proud that our advanced melanoma detection technology is helping dermatologists nationwide address this public health crisis."
One American dies every hour from melanoma, the most deadly skin cancer. MELA Sciences, Inc. is the pioneer company behind MelaFind®, the first and only FDA-approved diagnostic tool that helps dermatologists detect melanoma at its most curable stage. MelaFind® was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in Fall 2011, and since then has strategically rolled out the technology to dermatology practices across the country.
Joining Dr. Gulfo in the Opening Bell ceremony were Gary Goldenberg, MD, Assistant Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine, NY; Mark S. Nestor, MD, PhD, Voluntary Associate Professor of the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery at the University Of Miami Leonard Miller School Of Medicine, and the Director of the Center for Cosmetic Enhancement and the Center for Clinical and Cosmetic Research in Aventura, Florida; and Claudia Beqaj, Director of Commercialization, MELA Sciences, Inc.
"Prevention and early detection are the most effective ways to fight the melanoma epidemic," said Dr. Goldenberg. "Broad-spectrum sunscreens and safe sun practices are the first line of defense, along with regular skin exams. Once patients are in the office, advanced tools like MelaFind® and dermoscopy help us better evaluate atypical moles to selectively determine which may need to be biopsied."
"Melanoma detection starts with the patient," said Dr. Nestor. "A simple 5 minute skin exam can be the difference between life and death. So, we encourage patients to call their dermatologists and schedule an annual skin exam today."
MELA Sciences, Inc. also hosted skin cancer exams for NASDAQ employees and media at the NASDAQ event. MelaFind® devices were available onsite and used by dermatologists to evaluate unusual moles. The hand-held tool is fast and painless, using multiple wavelengths of light to provide valuable data about how a mole is growing under the skin in less than a minute.
MELA Sciences, Inc. recently worked with dermatologists across the country to sponsor free MelaFind® exams on May 1, the first day of National Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection & Prevention Month. Hundreds of patients were evaluated at over 58 offices.
According to Ms. Beqaj, the time is right to educate Americans about the urgency of skin cancer exams. A recent Harris survey commissioned by MELA Sciences, Inc. found that less than one in four Americans (23%) visit a dermatologist for an annual skin examination.
"We are investing our resources to build awareness around the importance of annual skin cancer exams, working in partnership with dermatologists to change behaviors in their patient communities," she said. "Our hope is that one day skin exams will be as common as dental visits and annual physicals, and, as a result, we'll see the melanoma crisis subside in our lifetime."
About MELA Sciences, Inc.MELA Sciences, Inc. is a medical device company focused on the commercialization of its flagship product, MelaFind®, and its further design and development. MelaFind® is a non-invasive tool to provide additional information to dermatologists during melanoma skin examinations. The device uses light from visible to near-infrared wavelengths to evaluate skin lesions up to 2.5 mm beneath the skin. The device provides information on a lesion's level of morphologic disorganization to provide additional objective information that may be used by dermatologists in the biopsy decision-making process. MelaFind® has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in the US. In addition, MelaFind® has received CE Mark approval and is approved for use in the European Union.

EVERYWHERE I go supporters stop me to ask if Danny Ings and Sam Vokes will beat the 60-goal strike partnership record myself and Andy Lochhead set 48 years ago.
It seems to be a talking point doing the rounds in the town.
My view is, of course they can! And it will bring success in the race for promotion, which ultimately is the most important thing.
Accumulating the necessary points is more important than breaking records, and more precious on the journey to the Premier League.
Sam and Danny have been in excellent form since getting together in our dual spearhead strike force - not just for the goals they've scored but especially the work-rate up front in closing opposition defenders down.
They have been magnificent in this role all season and earned praise from their fellow professionals.
Hopefully they can come out on top again in their reunion with former Clarets striker Charlie Austin at QPR on Saturday.
It is a huge game in the race for the top spots, and hopefully the sunshine training break to Spain will have recharged the batteries and put an extra spring in the players' steps for the run-in.
Last night a minute's applause was held ahead of the Brighton game in memory of loyal servant Arthur Bellamy.
He was a very well respected player, assistant manager, groundsman – and all-round club man – who gave his life to Burnley Football Club, and he will be missed.
Rest In Peace Arthur, you will always be a legend at Turf Moor.

New Technology Allows Radiation to be Delivered with Pinpoint AccuracyJune 27 2013
Lincoln, Neb. – Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center announces that a new radiation therapy treatment called AccuBoost® is now available at the Saint Elizabeth Breast Care Center. Saint Elizabeth is the first hospital in Nebraska – and the Midwest – to offer this new, innovative treatment.
The AccuBoost system is an image-guided radiation therapy technique using brachytherapy, a very precise and highly effective form of radiation therapy delivered as close to the tumor as possible. The benefit of this new technique is the ability to closely target the tumor site and minimize the amount of radiation going to other organs such as the heart and lungs.
The treatment is available for women with early stage breast cancer who choose a lumpectomy, a surgical procedure when the cancerous tumor is removed preserving the majority of the breast. Following a lumpectomy, most women undergo several weeks of radiation treatment, which includes a very important "boost" phase. The boost dose is an important component of the full course of radiation therapy and is delivered to the tissue adjacent to the surgical site. This has shown to provide additional protection against recurrence.
"We are very proud to be able to bring this state-of-the-art treatment to our Breast Care Center," said Mike Hopkins, director of radiology and radiation therapy at Saint Elizabeth. "We are committed to offering the latest technology and medical advancements for women undergoing breast cancer treatment."
Radiation therapy treatments can sometimes lead to long-term side effects that harm the heart and other organs. AccuBoost allows the physician to see with certainty the location where the cancer was removed and accurately focus the radiation to the exact site of the tumor and surrounding tissue.
"AccuBoost helps limit the risk of radiation therapy exposure to normal tissues and minimizes toxicity to vital organs," says Dr. Kevin Yiee, medical director of radiation therapy at Saint Elizabeth. "At Saint Elizabeth Breast Care Center, we want the best for our patients. And, this treatment is going to greatly improve a woman's health 10 or 20 years down the road."

Notre appartement etait bien situe, propre et assez bien équipe'. Mais l'isolation aussi bien acoustique que thermique était vraiment insuffisante pour ne pas dire inexistante. Et comme l'immeuble était occupé par des gens bruyants, cela a posé quelques problèmes. Heureusement qu'il n'a pas fait trop froid au cours de notre séjour!
Wir fanden die Wohnung klein, trotzdem gemütlich und sauber aber leider etwas dunkel und kalt. Die Wohnung ist sehr hellhörig gewesen aber für eine Woche war es ok.
La transaction s'est déroulée de façon parfaite et très professionnelle. Réponse à toutes les questions. Bonne organisation pour récupérer et laisser les clefs.
L'appartement a tenu ses promesses. Tout petit, mais bien situé, très bien équipé et propre.
Soweit alles in Ordnung. Gute Lage.
Minha experiência com este anfitrião foi perfeita. Tudo ocorreu conforme o combinado. As acomodações condiziam com as fotos do site, encontravam-se limpas e com tudo o que precisávamos para a estadia. Não temos do que reclamar.
We were happy to share this appartment well-located in Manhattan. We can visit most of touristic place by walk. The metro station is 2 minutes walk from the place. Only we couldn't put the air conditionning on during the night because the system was too noisy. There were 2 bedrooms confortable with all the necessary and the appartment was clean.
L'appartement est conforme à la description et aux photos, à 2 rues d'une bouche de métro et non loin de Central Park il est idéalement placé pour découvrir Manhattan.
We booked a 2 bed apartment for 4 people: 2 of my elderly aunts and my cousin and I. For the 1st two days we were given this lovely studio apartment near Times Square but we were told that there was a double sofa bed and there wasn't. We had to resort to sleeping on the floor as the sofa bed was only a single! Also, only 1 set of towels were left in the studio for all 4 of us! :-( also no access to wi-fi which was also promised!
Then when we finally got to our actual apartment (the one advertised here) on 1st Avenue we found the following issues:
1) Extremely warm with both bedrooms over looking a very busy and very noisy main road which was noisy ALL night!
2) The electric points in the 2nd bedroom short circuited and blew the lamp bulb 4 times! Also the main light in that bedroom and the main bedroom didnt work.
3) The electric points in the kitchen didnt work so we had to plug in the toaster in the lounge area.
4) Even with the air-conditioner on in the 2 bedrooms the lounge was extremely warm. We raised several work orders for this and although promised a portable air-con unit none was provided. I couldn't sleep on warm nights!
5) In the main bedroom, the air-con unit was old and noisy so along with the noise of the traffic and the air-con no way you can sleep in there!
6) There was always a foul smell in the apartment.
7) Luckily we had a lift but it was always smelt and bounced.
8) The bathroom was old and needs redecorating and at least the shower head descaling as it simply dribbles.
I would NOT recommend this apartment to any future travellers unless you are using the place for storage only.
Aside from the above the apartment was suitably located but always requires a taxi to get to the nearest metro station. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and not so nice ones also.
Staying at this appartement is really great. It is located very centrally (restaurants, shops, metro station in walking distance) and has the perfect size to host 2 couples. I definitely recommend the appartement.
die Wohnung ist sauber, aber sehr nüchtern ausgestattet, die Schallisolierung miserabel (sehr laut!. Trotzdem verhalf die gute Lage des Apartments und die unkomplizierte Abwicklung der Formalitäten durch das Büro vor Ort zu einem beeindruckendem New York-Aufenthalt.

All the side dishes are great too. Their prices can't be beat and the quality surpasses any place around. I love Buster's BBQ and for value, flavor, and a sauce that can't be beat!

Re: Survival
Dear friends, it is only a couple weeks ago I was on top of the world and it seemed everything positive was happening to me. But something has changed and I now feel depressed and trapped, like someone has taken away my security blanket and left me in a hazed confusion. Physically I get stronger slowly every day but emotionally and mentally I feel I am back pedalling. Is ths normal?

Gabriel Byrne, Jesse Eisenberg and Isabelle Huppert board Joachim Trier's Louder Than Bombs
EXCLUSIVE: Picture is Norwegian Oslo August 31st director Joachim Trier's first English-language film.
Isabelle Huppert [pictured], Gabriel Byrne and Jesse Eisenberg have boarded Norwegian director Joachim Trier's English-language debut Louder Than Bombs.
For production details visit
The family drama revolves around the character of a famous, late war photographer played by Huppert. On the eve of a retrospective of work, some three years after her untimely death, her husband and two sons discover an unsettling secret from her past.
Byrne will play the husband and Eisenberg one of the sons.
"Louder Than Bombs is a character-driven piece so I am obviously thrilled to have such incredible actors working with me on this," Trier commented. "Isabelle, Jesse, and Gabriel are all actors I have wanted to work with for a long time, so having them play together as one family feels remarkable."
Trier co-wrote the script with his long-time collaborator Eskil Vogt. The film will shoot in the US and Germany this autumn.
Louder Than Bombs is being produced by Sigve Endresen and co-produced by Hans Jørgen Osnes, both from Oslo-based Motlys, which produced Trier's Oslo August 31st.
It is co-production between France, Norway, Denmark, Germany, and the US. Alexandre Mallet-Guy's Memento Films Production will produce and distribute in France, partnering with Heino Deckert's German Majade Films, and Bo Ehrhardt's Danish Nimbus Film.
Bona Fide Productions' Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa will produce from the United States.
The film is also backed by the Norwegian Film Institute, the Danish Film Institute, and the Nordic Film and TV fund. Norsk Fimsdistribusjon will distribute in Norway, with Nordisk taking Denmark and Triart handling Sweden.
Memento Films International will handle world sales, partnering with UTA on the North American sale. MFI's Emilie Georges and Nicholas Shumaker executive produce, alongside Joshua Asterchan and Frederick W. Green of New York-based Animal Kingdom.
Bafta-winning Isabelle Huppert is represented by CAA and Voyez Mon Agent and managed by Principal Entertainment.

GORNAL Athletic chairman Kevin Williams admitted the club had made mistakes over their recent choice of managers.
The Peacocks have parted company with both Brian Knight and Matthew Price this season as the Garden Walk side find themselves floundering at the bottom of the Midland Alliance.
Williams held his hand up this week and said: "We knew it would be hard rebuilding the side after everyone had followed previous manager Ian Rowe to Tipton Town, but in hindsight, we went the wrong way.
"We went for up and coming managers who we thought could build a side, but we should have gone with experience".
Gornal expect to have a new manager in position by the time this week's Thursday night training takes place.
Interviews are currently taking place, but whoever takes charge has a big task on their hands to turn matters around in time.
Williams said: "Don't get me wrong. I thought we had two great managers in Brian and Matt, but I think their lack of local knowledge let them down.
"I have stressed that we're looking for someone local this time. "We've got 16 games left and I think there's enough to keep us up.
"Matt Price had a fair crack, but I think the 9-0 result against Causeway United was the last straw for both of us".
Williams confirmed that some players had left in the wake of Matt Price's departure, Ben Evans switching to recent conquerors Causeway United, although the chairman confirmed seven days notice of approach had already arrived before Price left.
Williams added: "Although some players have gone, they were probably not of the calibre we wanted. The stalwarts of the team are still here, although I admit the defence needs strengthening and we could do with another striker.
"But we've still got use of David Meese, who has agreed to help us out when he isn't required by Smethwick Rangers

We've been busy bees prepping for Cooking Channel's on-air and online launches, but still found a little time recently to celebrate our new network. We hope you're as excited about it as we are.
At our in-house launch party, a lovely 3 p.m. workday break, we mingled with new talent, scored cool Cooking Channel t-shirts, and naturally, enjoyed some snacks and bubbly.
A packed room of food-lovers raved over People's Pops in flavors like Spiced Rhubarb and Raspberry Basil. The refreshing popsicles came from a new vendor in Chelsea Market, Cooking Channel's New York home. We also munched on gourmet chocolate bars with nifty Cooking Channel wrappers.
The nighttime fete was held at the swanky Empire Hotel (though in real life, it's not owned by Chuck Bass of Gossip Girl). New Cooking Channel stars hung out on the pool deck, got to know each other and showed off their food-centric body art.
The real party started over the weekend, when Cooking Channel launched on your TV. Keep checking in at the brand-new cookingchanneltv.com to keep current on cool updates, programming news and recipes from Cooking Channel.
How did you celebrate the long weekend?

WEPL Premier One
Ashcott & Shapwick 257-9 lost to Taunton St Andrews 261-7 by three wickets
A BRILLIANT century from Steve Tinnion wasn't enough to prevent Ashcott & Shapwick from a dramatic final over defeat to Taunton St Andrews.
Tinnion scored 101 off 122 balls, including 15 fours and one six, as Ashcott posted 257-9 – their highest total of the season – but former Somerset player Keith Parsons replied in similar vein with 113 as Saints crawled home with a ball to spare.
Ashcott lost Harte (14), Edmunds (13) and Coppell (16) early in proceedings as they found themselves on 66-3, and when Karmarkar (5) and Ben Rudge (9) also departed the hosts were again in trouble, but Tinnion stood firm and with Wayne Spencer (31) he set about rebuilding the innings.
Spencer departed with the score on 200 after an 87-run partnership, but Tinnion continued on his way to register a patient ton his side needed desperately.
Saints' reply got off to a flying start with Parsons in particular plundering the bowling to all parts.
The score had passed 100 when Nayan Karmarkar (2-36) accounted for Jenkins for 20.
Dangerman Regan came and went in quick time as Karmarkar claimed his second wicket, but Bertie Preston's knock of 49, in partnership with Parsons, took Saints to the brink.
Parsons passed his century before departing to the bowling of Coppell (4-51), but Ashley Grundy hit the winning runs from the penultimate delivery to condemn Ashcott to another defeat.

"Purchased the place card after ordering the rehearsal dinner invitations in the same design. Was so pleased with the invitations (first time order), decided to order the matching place cards. Standard paper is of excellent quality and color vibrant. Very impressed with their quick delivery. Example on website does not do justice to the beautiful finished product."
"I ordered these for my wedding for the tables and place cards. i then called to place a smaller order of the same cards with no writing on them so i can use them to label some family photos and favors etc. they came with the writing on them so i called and they fixed the problem right away and overnighted the correct cards."
"Ordered a sample in the yellow. Paper quality is great. Paper is a little crinkly (ordered the basic paper) which I like. Paper stands up well. Love the colors. The website mock up is pretty darn close to the actual colors which is great!!"
"These place cards are great! Very simple chic, I'm glad we went with the white shimmer paper it added a little extra glam."
"I went with the matte paper. The combination of the white paper and purple flowers looks amazing. The floral design is exactly as it appears in the picture. Although it looks small it gives a simple elegance to the card. I didn't print our names or the date of our wedding on the cards (I did keep the line to write the number) to ensure that the person writing our guests' names would have plenty if space. Even if you add some script on the top there's enough room to for most names. For the money these cards are very nice. I'm glad I ordered them."

"I used my own design for save the date magnets and was so happy with the outcome through Wedding Paper Divas. I had to call customer service a few times to speak with a customer service rep since everything wasn't fitting in the designated design area. They were more than accommodating and set me up with a designer in order to see a proof before ordering. Loved the outcome!!"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1730 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Lyle Talbot was never a big star or an important cultural figure. On his own he probably doesn't merit a lengthy biography.
But Talbot had a long, varied and fascinating career in American showbiz. And this is therefore no ordinary bio.
Talbot was like Woody Allen's Zelig. He had a way of turning up in all sorts of entertainments and in the company of other interesting people. Tracing his career makes The Entertainer more like a cultural history of different kinds of 20th-century show businesses.
Margaret Talbot, staff writer for the New Yorker magazine and the youngest of Talbot's four children (by his fourth wife), performs a delicate balancing act between loving daughter and objective outsider.
She uses family memories, her father's scrapbooks and interviews, and research from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes, social histories, and not-nearly-so-reliable fan mags and gossip.
At times she gives the impression that the book might have been livelier or more probing had she chosen one approach over the other. But, by and large, it's an intelligent, readable, and revealing study.
Born in 1902 in Pittsburgh and raised in Brainard, Neb., Lyle Talbot got his start as a teenager in the American Midwest as a carnival barker, magician's assistant and phoney hypnotist's plant.
He moved on to travelling stage shows; he even started his own acting company in his 20s.
By 1930 he landed in Hollywood as a contract actor with Warner Bros. Handsome and talented, he looked to be on his way with over 40 movies in five short years.
He had the lead role in a handful of these early 1930s B pictures. He played opposite some rising stars -- Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Bette Davis, and others. But he was usually relegated to third or fourth billing. Somehow, he never became a star.
Talbot devotes two-thirds of her book to this, the first third of her father's life. And he lived a long life, until age 94.
His fourth wife, 20 years old when they wed and 26 years his junior, made him give up drinking. She threatened divorce when the kids were growing up. For the most part he seems to have agreed to become a teetotaler. By then he obviously preferred domestic life to debauchery.
Talbot enlivens her narrative by contextualizing his various pursuits. She comments on the lost worlds of circuses, travelling acting troupes, carnivals, dance marathons, "pre-Code" movies. There are revealing anecdotes about some of the true characters of the era.
Her main insight here is that America was changing from a culture based on character to one based on personality. Lyle Talbot seems to have had plenty of personality but not much character. He was perfect for the times.
Why did he not become a star, then? This is the question that haunts his daughter throughout this part of the narrative.
Perhaps it was because he was an indefatigable skirt-chaser, known in the gossip columns as a "nightclub Romeo." He had a poorly timed affair with the ex-wife of Sam Warner just when his first contract was up. Oops!
Perhaps it was because he was a big drinker.
Or maybe it was because he just didn't have that indefinable quality that separates stars from the rest of us, the "it" factor, charisma.
Somehow he survived in Hollywood. He had almost continuous work as a movie actor throughout the 1930s and 1940s.
Some of it was pretty low-grade stuff, working with the minor studios. He even has the distinction of being the only actor to appear in all three of the execrable movies of Ed Wood, including "the worst movie ever made," Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Contextualizing is not nearly as thorough in this part of the story. Simple questions (like: did he have an agent?) are left unanswered.
Likewise Talbot's closest brush with stardom, as the affable neighbor in 72 episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, is under-examined.
The Entertainer is certainly an entertaining book. It's a bit lopsided and hastens to a conclusion, but it's one of the best "child of" Hollywood bios.

It would be easy to sell legal services if you could just follow
a formula. Write two articles, post updates weekly on your LinkedIn
account, speak at three seminars, take 4 clients or referral
sources to lunch and become a board member of your favorite
charity. Do all these things and in six to nine months you will
have three new clients.
Lawyers are good at following procedures and if it were all this
simple, every lawyer in private practice would be above average in
the business he or she generates. The reality, though, is much more
complex. In the real world, it is hard to know which marketing
activities will yield the results you want.
Having a written plan is very helpful in
ensuring that you follow through consistently on high value
marketing activities. Selling legal services can take months or
years. During that time, you want to employ a mix of reputation
building and relationship building tactics. While each of these
tactics may be consistent with your overall strategy (e.g. growing
your trusts and estates practice and serving more entrepreneurs in
their 30s and 40s) there is no guarantee that any single thing you
do will produce any results. In the real world, 10 marketing
activities that seem likely to produce results may only produce one
For lawyers and other professionals who are risk-averse, this is a
hard lesson to learn. If failure is likely, why should I pursue any
of these activities? I see this over and over again with my own
clients. They set up a series of lunches with professionals who
serve the same clientele and nothing happens. But two months later,
they get a call from a prospect who got their name from one of
these individuals.
Savvy venture capitalists understand the importance of investing
in a broad mix of companies. In general, a VC only expects to
succeed in two out of ten investments. This is exact the mentality
that will ensure your own success.
So get out and fail. If you don't take a lot of chances, you are
much less likely to succeed. If you are not failing, then you are
not trying hard enough.
That is not to say that you should continue to fail in the same
way if you know for certain that something is not working. But
don't stop speaking if no one contacts you after the seminar. Don't
stop writing if you receive zero feedback on an article that you
have published. Instead, keep failing, keep learning from your
failures, and the business will come.

Consulting and Coaching.

In 1987, the group formalized the organization through incorporation as the Cashiers Area Humane Society. They then applied for and received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service in 1988.
In 1991, Sirman Marvil donated a grant to the Cashiers Area Humane Society in memory of his wife, Zoe Marvil, and construction of a shelter became a reality. The Zoe Marvil Humane Center was built on a 10-acre site off Highway 64 East between Cashiers and Sapphire. An endowment fund was established to meet the annual operating costs.
In 2002, a decision was made to expand and include the neighboring town of Highlands. The name of the organization was changed to the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society. The current jurisdiction of the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society is Highlands and Jackson County, with support for neighboring communities, shelters and rescue groups.
The Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society is a non-profit, no-kill shelter for dogs and cats. As a private shelter, we receive no support from any federal, state or local agency for operating expenses. We rely on income generated from adoptions, community support, fundraising, grants, and special events to provide humane care and treatment and to secure forever homes for the animals in our care.

Sapphire, NC 28774
All potential adopters must complete an adoption application and adoption agreement, as well as provide proof of identification and residency.
The cost of adoption for our animals is $85 for dogs and $75 for cats. We also encourage "slumber parties" and "overnight" stays for potential adopters to ensure the best possible home for all of our animals.
With generous support from the community, we are able to maintain high adoption rates.
