Pedro Martinez is back, but does that make the Mets whole again? He's been gone so much they've learned to live without him. Not always good, but they've gotten by.
<img src="http://mets.lohudblogs.com/files/2008/04/images.jpeg" align="right" heighwidth="133″ />
To think Martinez will have stud stuff tonight is being overly optimistic. Willie Randolph is saying 90 to 100 pitches, which should get him through the fifth inning.
There isn't anybody who doesn't want Martinez to come back and stay healthy. But, considering his track record, is it realistic?
Don't forget to visit our poll about what to expect from Martinez this year.
1st inning: David Wright gives the Mets a 1-0 lead, but Martinez is rusty in the bottom of the inning, throwing 21 pitches and the Giants tie the game on Randy Winn's double. Mets 1, San Francisco 1.
2nd inning: Martinez has a slightly smoother inning, with his pitch count at 38.
3rd inning: His best inning so far. He's at 52 pitches.
4th inning: Martinez is settling in. Another 14-pitch inning puts him at 66. However, it's chilly and the Mets are in a long inning in the top of the 5th inning. This is something to watch.
5th inning: The Mets scored eight in the top of the inning. The length of the inning and running the bases took something out of Martinez. He threw 24 that inning and is at 90. Mets 9, San Francisco 3.
6th inning: They give Martinez one more, and he pitches out of first-and-third trouble without giving up a run. He finishes at 109 pitches.
9th inning: A sloppy ninth for Scott Schoeneweis. Mets 9, San Francisco 6.
Pedro Martinez on how he felt:Â "I felt like I was expecting to feel. I came off the field the same way I came on."
Martinez on if he feels a sense of relief this is over:Â "It's not over until the end of the season. I feel really good. I feel really confident that I'll be healthy."

Lambeth's Assembly Member and council leader have thrown their names into the hat to stand for the Croydon North by-election.
The by-election comes after the death of MP Malcolm Wicks, 65, who had served the constituency, a safe Labour seat, since 1997.
Lambeth and Southwark Assembly Member Val Shawcross and council leader Councillor Steve Reed have both applied to stand as the Labour candidate.
Ms Shawcross said: "I would really like to use some of the experience that I have gained on a regional level to do some work for a London community on a national level."
Ms Shawcross, who lives in Upper Norwood, said she felt she would like to go for the seat because of a strong connection to the area.
She said: "It's a seat where I am deeply connected with the community.
"I really feel that Croydon North is in need of some very strong advocacy."
Ms Shawcross was a Croydon councillor between 1994 and 2000, serving as council leader in 1997 to 2000.
Ms Shawcross said that if voted in she would resign from the London Assembly but believes it would be possible do both roles for a short transition period.
She said: "You should only have one job in political life, I think."
But she added: "That is all very theoretical.
"I have really loved serving Lambeth and Southwark on the London Assembly and I have done that now for 12 years."
Councillor Steve Reed said: "I have applied, but I can't say too much because there's not a shortlist yet."
Alan Olive, regional director of the London Labour Party, said nominations closed at noon yesterday and the shortlist would be decided on Wednesday.
On Monday Mr Olive said: "I genuinely don't know who applied. It could be quite a long list."
Labour Party members in Croydon North will vote on November 3 to select the Labour candidate to stand for the by-election.

Yep, a hockey fan's worst month is in its seventh day already. I'm not too thrilled that the summer's going by so quickly, especially since last winter seemed to last four or five years.
On the other hand, we're getting closer and closer to puck-drop(s).
Starting to wonder what kind of venue issues there might be holding up the official announcements of the Winter Classic.
Had to make an executive decision last night. So we're holding a special guest blog from our buddy Eddie, Eddie, Eddie — or E3 — until Monday morning. It's worth the wait.
Here is Larry Brooks' take on the whole Sean Avery debacle, from today's Post.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'kind and wonderful' footballer who died hours after his grandmother's funeral.
Shane Stanley, who was just 31, had suffered an epileptic fit in the weeks before his death late on Friday.
However, friends have said he showed no other signs of ill-health.
The young father, who had been married for around a year, played for Poole Borough Football Club for a decade and was one of the club's most popular players.
He had also turned out for a host of other teams around Poole.
Chairman Fred Thomas said: "He was a young, healthy man – it's just horrendous and it's knocked us all sideways.
"He's one of our longest-standing players, and had been with us on and off for around 10 years."
Mr Stanley, who worked for Barclays Bank, had two young sons and a daughter.
Mr Thomas said: "He was a gentleman.
"He played hard on the pitch but off it, he was just Shane Stanley – a great man. You can't say more than that.
"Everyone loved him."
The footballer lived in the Turlin Moor area of Poole.
The club decided to continue with their planned game against Mere Town FC on Saturday, shortly after learning of Mr Stanley's death, and a minute's silence was observed before the match. Steven Harvey, the chairman of Hamworthy United Football Club, said: "Shane played for us for a couple of seasons.
"He used to play for Corfe Mullen United, one of my former clubs, which is where I met him.
"He was an absolutely lovely bloke and it's awful news."
Branksome Railway, who made it to the last eight of the FA Sunday Cup yesterday, dedicated their 2-1 win over New Salamis to Shane.
Dozens of comments were added to a Facebook tribute page at the weekend.
He was a 'club legend'
A STATEMENT issued by Poole Borough FC on Saturday said Shane was a 'club legend' and added: "Shane was a loved and respected member of the Boro family both on and off the pitch.
"Not only for his ability, but also for his commitment and leadership.
"He will be sorely missed not just around the local football scene from his time playing with us, Poole Town, Hamworthy United and Merley CS, but also around his local community and around his home town.
"We, along with everyone else, are shocked and saddened by the news and we send our thoughts, prayers and condolences to his family and close friends whom are affected most by this horrendous news.
"We would also like to thank the officials, players and management of Mere Town FC, who agreed to a minute's silence, which was impeccably observed.
"Also a mention for our first team today, some of whom were close friends of the big man, for agreeing to play in such tragic circumstances.
"Again, we as a club would like to pay our respects to Shane, not only as a player but also as a great man, and appreciate all that he did for us."

Swimmer Amanda Beard, gymnast Nadia Comaneci, and skater Nancy Kerrigan at their peak, they were some of the fittest and fastest in the world. But behind their public victories were private battles with eating disorders. We have more on the major hurdle affecting many of our top athletes.
Meters, seconds and scores…when you're at the Olympics, it's all about the numbers. But at the top, the numbers on the scores may be just as important as the ones on the scale.
"I do have to watch what I eat. There are the days the coach will come out and he'll tell all of us girls like straight up your fat. You have to look the part so it's like how am I going say I'm a runner and not look like a runner," said Damu Cherry Mitchell, an Olympic hurdler.
But public pressure to "look" the part is fueling an unhealthy trend.
"Eating disorders are at epidemic proportions these days and athletes are a population that is at an increased risk," said Whitney Post, President/co-founder of Eating for Life Alliance.
One in five elite female athletes suffer from disordered eating, and it's not just the pros, one in 4 college-aged women binge and purge to manage weight. Post says competitive traits make athletes more vulnerable.
"They tend to be perfectionists, they tend to be goal oriented, they tend to be really driven to be successful. You have to be really good at pushing down the body's signals," Post said.
Post co-founded the non-profit Eating for Life Alliance.
"I always felt a real calling to do something larger to promote eating disorder recovery," Post explained.
It's a calling that wasn't by coincidence.
"My rowing career and my eating disorder career pretty much started at the same time," Post said.
For nearly 15 years the world champion rower and Olympics alternate battled bulimia.
"In the context of all the pressure and all the fear to make weight that was all I was doing. My weight would swing like 40 pounds or so…in the course of one year."
Because of their training, athletes can be harder to spot.
"It's very shameful, it's very secretive and you don't want to be doing it," Post admitted.
Less energy, more frequent strains, and needing longer recovery time are all signs that there's a problem.
"There's higher risk for injuries, there's long term fertility issue risk," Post added.
The biggest mistakes parents, coaches and teammates make is keeping quiet.
"The longer eating disorders go on the harder they are to treat," Post said.
Post says of all of her victories, the biggest came without fanfare or medals
"My most important accomplishment was my recovery from an eating disorder. My life really turned a corner when I found what I needed for a full recovery," Post said.
A message she hopes to share with girls everywhere...including her own.
"It's such a tough culture for girls these days and I think take it as it comes and see what kind of girl she is and then respond accordingly," Post said.
If you thought disordered eating was just a female problem, think again. The National Eating Disorders Association estimates that 33 percent of male athletes in aesthetic or weight class sports are affected by eating disorders.
Additional Information:
Eating disorders are most common in athletes that participate in the following sports:
- Ballet and other dance
- Figure skating
- Gymnastics
- Running
- Swimming
- Rowing
- Horse racing
- Wrestling
LONG TERM: Long term and serious medical complications include cardiac problems and what is known as the "Female Athlete Triad." The Triad refers to disordered eating, loss of menses, and osteoporosis. The resulting medical complications are often permanent and irreversible. Bone loss starts as soon as six months from loss of menstruation.
In addition, one study found that anorexics were seven times more likely to develop stress fractures as a result of their bone density loss. This not only has immediate consequences on their performance but also long term consequences such as chronic joint problems and increased risk of fractures for the rest of their lives.

EATING FOR LIFE: Eating disorders are the most secretive of mental health issues and often go untreated because of the lack of awareness, education, and resources available. The Mission of Eating For Life Alliance is to make user-friendly information, resources, protocols, and the wisdom of the nation's experts available to everyone. ELA reaches out to students on college campuses. College is not only a time when eating disorders often develop — but an excellent time to address and heal from them.

Hi allI'm starting using html5 right now so be patience I'm looking for a good way to mark up a box newsfor a blog so I ended up to :

test news

Author's name

Published <time pubdate datetime="2012-03-01 09:38:02">March 1, 2012</time>.

<--! Gallery -->

Is it html5 compliance ?Is there a better way ?
Why do you even need to use HTML5? There is nothing it provides over HTML4 that would warrnet you use it :).
I'd say scrap that and stick to HTML4.
Well... you already know my feelings about hgroup, but even then I think you're still putting stuff in it that wasn't meant... <hgroup>
test news

Author's name

Published <time pubdate datetime="2012-03-01 09:38:02">March 1, 2012</time>.
</hgroup>The p isn't a heading element so haul it out of hgroup and leave it nested in the header tag.Not that I see the author's name as being any kind of heading element. It's just meta data. And possibly might also need to be clickable (more articles by this author). So actually I wouldn't use hgroup, but you knew I was going there
Similarly the figure tags are just wasted bytes. What does that mean? Isn't  already telling users and user agents what they need to know? What does
 add? (I can see it being useful with a figcaption, but otherwise? Naw).
The footer gallery is very unclear. What makes that data "footer"-y? Knowing that footers tend to be more meta-data (and often in articles, a footer may be more common coming right after the header rather than after the content), is that image gallery meta-data about the article? Or is it thumbnail links to other articles? If it's a gallery that belongs to the article itself, I wouldn't make it footer. It's main content. Though, if you look here you'll see a grey stripe under the little article... linking to the photos (7 Foto's). A link could be meta-data about the article I suppose, but if you're showing actual thumbs I wouldn't.
Lastly titles on images are almost evil. Why?If the information is important, allow everyone to enjoy that knowledge, by using a caption. Titles are (generally) only supported by mice. Here, you're saying "if you're lucky enough to have a mouse, you get more info, yay!". To me that doesn't count as "progressive enhancement" Plus it's a bit annoying to have a tooltip cover up stuff next to the mouse.
But captions are fugly and take up space! A neat CSS trick to get around that (assuming these are thumbs that link, therefore surrounded by anchors) is to hide the text underneath the image, and on :hover OR :focus (or :active) have that text move down underneath the image (become visible). It's kind of a nice little setup, though it does mean it's a little bit mystery-meat: users have to discover for themselves that there is more info... then again, same with titles anyway.
So, is it HTML5 compliant? I believe how you are using hgroup and footer is likely not compliant. Hgroup really is meant to group heading tags only, not everything in a . Footer, depends on what those images are representing.
 is probably okay as far as HTML5 goes, I just think it's silly bloat at this point
Even as HTML 5 it looks like you have multiple elements for nothing -- there's no reason to have a hgroup... I wonder if that image is even a figure, not sure what the div is even for... The 'new' nonsense of "you can now wrap a block level in a inline-level" -- in your case the anchor wrapping the h1, is just asking for the page to break... if you're not going to use figcaption I'm not certain that's a figure... depending on what those footer images are I would question if they're actually content that belongs in the markup in the first place... and there's usually no good reason to be WASTING code on putting TITLE on a IMG tag.
But yeah, HTML 5 sucks -- it's still in draft, the loosening of the structural rules sets coding practice back a decade or more, and the pointless/redundant new structural tags are nothing more than pointless bloat.
That said, what's your CONTENT? Without the actual content or a reasonable facsimile, it's impossible to say what the proper markup is... Content dictates proper markup if you're going to practice semantics, regardless of if it's HTML 4 or 5.
Specifically, in IE (sometimes) and Firefox 3 (sometimes). I'm not sure if FF4+ fixed that but I think they did.
The anchor-wrapping-blocks is still handy if you have a bunch of blocks who all need to be clickable and go to the same address, since now you have just one link instead of 15 or whatever... however what you have with your h1, is going to be more stable and still work like you want if you do it the HTML4 way.

Lt Victor J Hancock, 321st BG, 445th BS, B-25 Pilot
1944-45 — Corsica, France
FOOTNOTE has BIRTH wrong, Victor was born in 1924, The correction has been submitted) The Enlistment is CORRECT. Victor has been the EDITOR of the "Men of the 57th" Journal for many-MANY years!
Victor resided in San Francisco, Calif and entered directly into the AAC on 23 Nov. 1942, He was born in Oregon in 1924, comleted high school, is White, Citizen and was single at emlistment.
4 Nov. 2006 Barb Ennis Connolly has begun asking the Vets for Stories; This is from Victor J Hancock, 321st Bomb Group, 445th Bomb Squadron, B-25 Pilot, Corsica/MTO.
Transmitted via the '57th Bomb Wing Research List'
**** We all know Pearl Harbor Day was Sun. Dec.7,1941 How many know ? V E day was Tues. May 8, 194 V J Day was Sun. Sept. 2, 1945 I recently asked where my parents were. How many of you know or have asked ? "I would like to hear your stories, please." Blessings, Barbi
Victor said; " Hi Barbi: Interesting question. I had just got off of work on the docks of San Francisco and was eating lunch at the Embarkadero YMCA when the news came over the radio that we had been attacked at Pearl Harbor. Everyone stood around the radio as we listened to the news. Soon the word was given that all military personnel were to report to their bases immediately. There was never a doubt that we would win. And the hatred for the Japs was visceral, at least on the West Coast. I had one older brother in the Army at the time and another older brother entered the Navy the next day. I was still in high school and did not volunteer until April or May and that was for Aviation Cadets. I was a high senior at High School and was to graduate in January 1943 but got my orders and reported to duty in early November and shipped out to Buckley Field.We had been expecting some type of hostility to break out for some time and spoke of it in our history and civic classes at high school.
WWII vets: They changed the world Victor comments on "What it means to be part of the Greatest Generation"......
We wait alongside them in the grocery checkout line and hurry past them on the street. They are members of our churches and grandparents to our children, but how often do we pause to ponder the content of their lives?
As teenagers and 20-somethings, they traveled to distant countries, knowing they might die there, and returned to lives forever altered by their experiences. They risked their lives, left jobs, and cast passions and aspirations aside until their missions were fulfilled.
Indeed, all who served in World War II — in battle or supporting roles — deserve unyielding gratitude, but as each Veterans Day passes, the time for thanks dwindles. We can still shake their hands and hear their stories, but for how much longer?
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the ranks of World War II vets are shrinking by about 1,200 a day nationwide.
A few of those who have retired in Far North Dallas take time to recall, for those of us who weren't there, an era that shaped the world.
If you run into one of them today, it might be the right time to say "thank you".
"We all waited for those words: 'Bombs away, let's get the hell out of here.' " — Victor Hancock
Before the war, Victor Hancock had never been afraid of anything. But the war changed his life.
"I came face-to-face with the reality of how you would react if someone tried to kill you," he says. "I got plenty scared. Once the engine starts, you go about your business like you were trained."
Hancock was two months from graduating high school when he volunteered for the Army Air Force in 1942, just as his two older brothers had done. (The Air Force became a separate branch of the Armed Services in 1947; until that point, it was part of the Army's Air Corps and collectively known as the Army Air Force.)
"There was a war going on, so there was no doubt you were going to be in it," Hancock says.
He joined thousands of others for preflight school at Kelly Field in San Antonio. He finished training in May 1944 and became a pilot in the 57th Bomb Wing's 488th Bomb Squadron. He was stationed on Ascension Island in the South Atlantic and then headed to a base on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. By January 1945, the war in Europe was ending, and the Germans tried to escape to their country via the three-mile wide Brenner Pass within the Alps.
"Our job was to close the pass," Hancock says. "We all waited for those words — 'Bombs away, let's get the hell out of here.' Then you had the long flight back to Corsica over enemy territory."
They'd often return with bullet holes in their B-25s, which Hancock describes as some of the most durable aircraft in the Air Force.
"It could take a tremendous amount of damage and still bring soldiers home. There were 875 crewmembers lost. It would have been four times that [without B-25s]."
Hancock co-piloted six of the missions and encountered a few close calls that could have resulted in more than just a few holes in the plane. Once, while they flew through the mountains at 5,000 to 6,000 feet, the Germans fired anti-aircraft guns. Hancock says he approached a box canyon with no way out. They had to quickly pull up or crash right into the side of the mountain.
"The Germans were shooting at us with flak busting on our tails. It's all very slow motion."
Hancock knew he wasn't invincible. His brother had died in combat the year before.
"I was absolutely devastated. I was, no doubt, aware of my mortality. I was not a man who thought I couldn't die."
U.S. forces dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending the war in the South Pacific before Hancock's squadron arrived.
Today, he lives in the Canyon Creek neighborhood with his wife of 65 years. He retired in 1992 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. His home office is covered in papers, old photographs and maps because for the past 16 years, Hancock has edited a quarterly journal, "Men of the 57th", published for his fellow crewmembers from the 57th Bomb Wing. It includes updates about veterans and personal accounts from missions.
Hancock, now 87, sometimes speaks at neighborhood elementary schools, sharing his experience of being a part of the "greatest generation". "Our reaction to circumstances made us a little different. One of the kids asked me, 'Could we do the same thing?' I said, 'Of course you could.' "
*** "We have clearance, Clarence. Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?" ***
http://farnorthdallas.advocatemag.com/2010/10/they-changed-the-world/ Other Vets represented here as well ! GREAT Stories :) Thank you for all of the "Children of the Greatest Generation" we had no idea how priviledged we are/were !

We see green!by Operation Foodie in View All Posts, March 17th, 2009
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Most New Yorkers are showing their Irish spirit by marching through the streets of the city and sampling beer & food from various pubs. The FN team is here and enjoying a Green Bagel & Irish Soda Bread Breakfast put together by our Employee Activities Committee – so we are all very excited!
In honor of today, here are some traditional foods to try:
1. COLCANNON – Mashed potatoes with onions and greens. Get creative – my favorite combination includes red skin potatoes (mashed with skins), sauteed kale & onion, and a bit of garlic.
2. BOXTY – A mixture of raw and cooked potatoes.
3. IRISH STEW – This particular recipe from our FN Test Kitchen inclues lamb and goat cheese.
4. CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE – Paula Deen's fast and delicious recipe.
5. CURACH – An Irish dessert consisting of toasted oats, whiskey, raspberries, and whipped cream (how can you go wrong?!).
What are you cooking up for St. Patrick's Day?
I hope you have a fabulous day!

Howdy Peeps! Today I get to unveil an amazing project that is soooo fun! Do you remember back when I was having the room dilemma about where to put my new baby? Creed is our fourth child, and we have five bedrooms; however, one of those bedrooms is our office (and main location for All Things Thrifty). The other kids are upstairs, which will be the future destination for the baby also, but I didn't want to jump to that conclusion for a few years. There were so many pros and cons to this dilemma, but the ultimate decision was to put the baby in our guest bedroom.
To those that may not know, I live in St. George, UT. I LOVE it here for many reasons, and one of those reasons is that people LOVE to visit St. George. It is definitely a vacation spot. We have visitors a lot. I love that. When we were looking at houses, one of my necessities in a house was a guest bedroom. I am a firm believer that if you have comfortable place for visitors, they will feel more comfortable coming to stay. So, when we decided to put Creed in the guest room, the plan was to have the best of both worlds. We would decorate the nursery as planned AND have a guest room for the weekends we have visitors. How, you might ask?
With a WILDING WALL BED! (pronounced Wild—ing, like born to be WILD).
We got our DIY kit from the folks over at Wilding Wall Beds a few weeks ago, and I have been so excited to assemble this bad boy, I could hardly stand it. The kits come in all sorts of wood options, and after a few back and forth deliberations, we went with "Oak." We wanted the wood to be nice and strong, and we wanted to grain of the wood to duplicate the rustic feel of Creed's Nursery.
We will be showcasing the process of assembling this project in a few future posts, but I had to show you the end result! I was super excited to make this bed into a "Barn" door. The nursery already has barn wood and two old windows as decor pieces.
If you didn't know this was a bed, you may think it was a free standing closet. It holds a queen sized bed perfectly. In fact, my Mother in Law and Father in Law already slept in the bed this weekend, and they loved it.
The Wilding Wall Beds come with amazing hardware kids that allow you to safely and surprisingly EASILY lower the bed.
The DIY kit came unfinished, which gives the versatility to personalize it to ANY space. I was super excited to add the "z" of a barn door to the front and add some barn wood hardware to finalize the rustic look I was going for.
So, for the normal every day life around here, the bed will be nice and snug in its place, the wall! And for the times where we have visitors, don't worry, in point five seconds, the bed is available. VOILA!
If you have a design dilemma like we did, Wilding Wall Beds is a great way to solve it! The amazing staff impressed me from the start, and the DIY kit comes with amazing instruction videos to eliminate the complications of putting together the kit. The showroom is beautiful, too! I was amazed at all the different options they had.
My personal favorite? The BUNK BED WALL BEDS! Click on the image to check out how these bad boys open and close.
How cool is that!??!
Stay tuned for more details on how we finished the wood and the assembly process. 🙂 Do you love it? I LOVE IT!
Wilding Wall Beds provided a DIY kit to me as a sponsorship opportunity. All opinions are 100% mine, and I would never promote something that I didn't believe was a fantastic product.

Germany has been on my mind a lot with Mrs. G being over there for work (yes, she's still there. Won't be home until late Wednesday afternoon). I got to talking with Kristi @NecessaryIndulg last week about chicken wings. Started me wondering if there was a German version. Did a little bit of looking around and came across one recipe (copied on 3 or 4 websites) for sauerbraten chicken wings. Nto something I had ever heard of and probably not authentic, but I love wings, so why not try a new recipe? No pictures of the marinade that I made the night before, but here are the wings going on the Egg at 400.
Halfway through
When the wings are almost done, its time to make the sauce. Basically just a roux, then add in some of the marinade that you reserve before pouring on the chicken, some chicken stock and wait for it....crushed ginger snaps. Weird huh? Toss the wings in the sauce and serve. (i sprinkled on some green onions just for color)
Interesting flavor for sure, not what you would expect when ordering wings. They were sweet but also sour and tangy. No heat at all, but why would they be? There was nothing to give them heat. Didn't really come out crispy, probably because of marinating overnight. Definitely messy. Not my favorite wing recipe in the world, but I'd do them again. Especially when Oktoberfest rolls around next fall.
Recipe is HERE if you are interested.

I'm trying somewhat belatedly to implement the EU cookies law in a simple way. Each page has the code
if ( !isset($_COOKIE['pcookie']) ) {
echo '
This website uses cookies to help make it more useful and reliable. Continued use of the site indicates that you accept this policy. Don't show this message again.
';
and my cookie-off.php is:
$back = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
setcookie('pcookie', 'accepted', time()*86400*365);
header('Location: '.$back);
It works but only if I click the link about a dozen times. Is there I can do about this?
I don't like any of these cookie boxes that open. Instead I use an area (Named cookiejar :)) That has one button, clicking it will make it go yellow allowing cookies to be set and when cookies are created they are added to the cookie jar. Each cookie can be read by the user, and I will try and make them as obvious to what they are as possible. Each cookie can be unset individually, or by unsetting "remember=yes" will delete all cookies. Any action that requires cookies (wide mode in my site), will alert the user first to let them know that function requires cookies. Have a look at the site in my sig to see how it works.
I've only been using the method since this EU directive was about a year old, and I'm hoping it will fit in with future developments. But I like it, and think it fulfills the objective well enough without being too intrusive to the design of the site.
As for your particular problem, have you seen the output for time()86400365? I don't think it's a valid date for cookies
Thanks Markdidj. Oops, that should be a +! time()+(86400*365). I think the law is an ass and am looking for the simplest way of complying.
I definately agree with you there gandalf. I already have prompt on cookie settings in my browser, and now I've got to do it again for the site! Daft to say the least!!
global include: uk_comply.php
if(!isset($_COOKIE['ukcomply']) && !isset($_GET['ukcomply']) {
echo "You must blah de blah..."
echo "Click Here";
setcookie('ukcomply',1,strtotime('+1 year'));
Thanks StarLion. That looks simpler. I'll give that a go...
The UK seems to have have change its stance a bit at the last moment and if you look a lot of sites say something to the effect "This site uses cookies and if you procede you have accepted there use".I am not sure how legal this is as by the time you have read it cookies have already been set!
I have not checked Amazon.co.uk lately but after the cookie law came in they were setting 15 cookies as soon as you landed on one of their pages. Supposedly shopping sites are allowed to use cookies as they are essential to the sites use but 15 seems a bit over the top for me and this was before you even logged in.
You could always use this code: https://github.com/michaelw90/cPrompt
Another site that fails with errors when I block cookies at browser level. So many do it?!?!
The trouble with this is I get Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent...
I don't see a header() in that code?
[ot]From the ICO cookie guidance:
For example, some websites 'remember' which version a user wants to access such as a version of a site in a particular language. If this feature is enabled by the storage of a cookie, then you could explain this to the user and that it will mean you won't ask them every time they visit the site. You can explain to them that by allowing you to remember their choice they are giving you consent to set the cookie. Agreement for the cookie could therefore be seamlessly integrated with the choice the user is already making.
Really, how ridiculous can a law be! Of course, offering multilingual websites is just a sneaky way to collect sensitive prefered language info from our visitors... A while ago I read about how cookies needed for the functioning of the website would be excluded from the consent rule, but apparantly not.[/ot]
I don't see a header() in that code?
No but the code is included in all pages on the site and setcookie() tries to modify the headers.
I know you wanted technical advice but you don't need to do any of this, just place a link to your privacy policy on your page and make sure you cover cookies in there:
Things might be different for the OP Richard as he is based in Italy and not the UK. The implimentation of the law may not be the same there as it is in the UK.
So insert that code into whatever header-sender you already have, before you start any ouptut.
Point taken but they are even more relaxed about it than the UK: http://globalsem.wordbank.com/global-marketing/eu-cookie-law-europe/
Thanks guys. I initially want to do this for a UK website although possibly others later.
I'm not sure at what point an HTML page send the headers so I'll just play...
HTML creates the headers as soon as something is sent to the screen. In server-side code Cookies are added to the headers, and headers must come before content. You cannot echo, print, write etc and then set headers
the simple answer is "As soon as your script hits something that either outputs, or any unencapsulated space".
If there's a blank line at the top of your page, if there's a space before the < in <?php, headers get sent because the PHP engine sees that as HTML content.
Or if there's an include with a blank line after the closing ?> tag (which is why it is recommended not to use the ?> closing tag at the end of your php files).
Many thanks guys for your advice. Much appreciated!

Personal Photography
If you ever peruse the photographs that your friends keep on their phones or post onto Facebook, you easily have a direct window into understanding what is important to them. We tend to take photos of the things that we care about: people, places, objects, activities, etc. Personal photography is a practice in memorializing, documenting, and celebrating all at the same time.
Last week, we started a new photography program with teen clients at an HIV/AIDS clinic in Rwanda. This is a ten-session course that is designed to encourage the participants to explore and express the individual identities through photography. To this end, the class will be taking cameras home so that they can photograph the people, spaces, and things that are most important to them. In each class, we'll discuss the images and consider the many elements (family, friends, community, interests) that make up who we are.
I began our class last week by sharing some personal photographs of my own with my students (attached below). With each photograph, they asked me questions such as: "Who is with you?," "Where are you?" and "What are you doing in this image?" It was a simple conversation based solely on images, but by the end the students had learned quite a bit about me. Photography builds those natural bridges of understanding for us.
I'm excited to see our participants' photographs and hopefully share some with you too!

Ok, so I have no idea if any chat mods have been assigned, but I have been told by some users I've seen in chat from time to time that they like never see anyone with a star, and that if a user causes problems or is rude, it's a rather pain getting something done about it. I'm not sure how many we want, or what, we don't have a huge chat population, but I do know of one user, User:Speedysnitch who is very helpful and very active in chat, and I would like to make them chat mod if I have everyone's approval.
--BachLynn(Send an Owl!) 20:34, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
- If Chat Mods need to be assigned, I would like to see at least one of the current administrators take on the responsibility. If not, a very experienced member of the community should be selected, one who is responsible, aware of - and follows - all current wiki rules and guidelines, and who has the trust of the entire administration. I do not like the idea of granting power to anyone who doesn't have the complete trust of the wiki's community, and who isn't voted on by the same community. User rights should not be handed out to anyone without a vote. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 12:18, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Well administrators are automatically chat mods. The problem I've seen and which has been expressed to me by some who do frequent chat like Speedy, is that they never see anyone with a star on, and in order to report someone being offensive or rude or what not in chat, takes hours or days of trying to get a hold of an admin on talk pages. So though I realise chat is not something used by a vast majority of users here, as some do like to use it I don't think it should be ignored either. Whatever needs to be done to make sure there is someone available at various times during the day to help monitor chat, whether it be by vote or whether we vote to give all rb's chat mod status, I would just really like to see it done. I hate the idea that user's are avoiding using the chat simply because of other rude or hostile users they've encountered.--BachLynn(Send an Owl!) 15:59, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Voting is needed. Chat Mod is a user class, and while it carries none of the power and responsibilities of SysOp, it does signify that the user is trusted enough by the community to handle the role of moderating the chat. Because of that, the user(s) needs to be selected by community vote, just like any other position within the wiki. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:35, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Reducing Depressive Behavior
I have a 20 year old daughter in college that was diagnosed with depression about 2 years ago, she also has Kron's and Hyperthyroid, she is currently in her second year of college, had a part time job and was struggling staying focused, about 1 month ago her therapist recommended that she quit her job and focus on school, she did and did nothing but sit in her room all weekend and dwell on her depression, now she wants to quit school as well, my wife and I are in disagreement on this , I contend that she will sit in her room 24-7 at least at school she had something else to occupy her mind. What are your thoughts?
When initial efforts to treat depression are not enough, more intensive efforts are often effective. For your daughter this may mean more intensive focus of the therapy on skills that help with the management of depressive symptoms, or it may mean combining psychotherapy with antidepressant medications.
Behavioral activation is an approach that counters the problem of depression leading people to avoid activities. The persistent practice of behavioral activation will often relieve the depressive thinking and inactivity. The best you can do is encourage her to learn about the options for treatment and, with the help of mental health specialists, increase the intensity of her treatment until she achieves a remission.

Birmingham plans Cardinal Newman exhibition
Rarely seen items from the life of Cardinal John Henry Newman go on display at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery from September 10 until January 6 2011.
Items such as the Cardinal's robes, hat and shoes, not seen the by general public since his death in 1890, will form part of a celebration of his life and his imminent beatification by Pope Benedict XVI.
The exhibition will include personal items of the Cardinal, kindly loaned by the Birmingham Oratory. The exhibition will also draw on the museum's own collections including a specially conserved painting by Birmingham born William Thomas Roden, 'Portrait of His Eminence Cardinal Newman' (1879). The painting was commissioned in commemoration of Newman being made a Cardinal and was acclaimed by many as a truly lifelike portrait of the man.
Another major feature of the display in the museum's Gallery 25 is a bust of Cardinal Newman by Richard Westmacott the younger, a sculptor and friend of the Cardinal.
The Cardinal's jewelled mitre with silk and gold thread inset with semi-precious stones can be seen alongside his robes, hat and shoes, his gold pectoral cross inset with gems, and the stunning Victorian gothic-style crozier used by His Eminence. Personal possessions range from the spectacular to the mundane and include a shell engraved with a scene of the Immaculate Conception, a statuette bust of St Phillip Neri, founder of the Oratorian Order whom Newman studied, a reliquary mount in ornate metal from Newman's desk as well as his pot with used and sharpened quill pens.
Councillor Alan Rudge, Leader for the Papal visit, said: "This display of Cardinal Newman's personal items viewed against the backdrop of the City's renowned religious art collections is an extraordinary opportunity for people to visit and appreciate these rarely seen items.
"This unique display will draw visitors from far and wide to see the significant contribution that Cardinal Newman made to our city and the Catholic community around the world. The beatification by Pope Benedict XVI of Cardinal Newman is a huge honour for our city and will bring the world's attention to our doorstep and be remembered by people for many years to come."
Visitors will also get a chance to see the redecorated and redisplayed Old Masters Picture Galleries. On view will be the city's most important religious works by world-renowned Old Masters, including 16th and 17th century paintings by the likes of Bellini, Botticelli, Carlo Dolci, Gentileschi and Gennari.

I think this is a much more widespread issue than people realize and given more investigation I'm betting that AMD will find it is affecting many more devices than previously realized. Reply
Bob Todd - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkYes, I'm sure the problem you are having with a 7690m is the exact same problem Apple ran into with the 6970m. After all, it's all the same part numbers just jumbled up! Or you know, you could just have some faulty hardware that isn't related to this at all. I wouldn't assume any issues with Blackcomb are the same as you are seeing on a Whistler part. Why on earth didn't you return or exchange your laptop? Reply

Simon42 - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkThese things feel like they're always running over 50C when you touch them (and sensors confirm it IIRC). Cramming such powerful hardware into such a tight package is asking for trouble, no matter how clever they get with cooling and using the whole aluminium body as a heatsink. When I worked in a computer store, 2 out of 3 Macs in for repairs were iMacs. But of course, they'll blame AMD if they can get away with it... Reply
solipsism - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkIt could be poor cooling just over the GPU but there are other components in the chassis that seems to have less issues. Whether this is an Apple design flaw or not we can't determine but I do know that powerful GPUs have had longterm use issues long before the iMac was around. Reply

Kevin G - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkIf I had to guess, I'd say it was simply over heating in the iMac chassis. For reasons I cannot fathom, Apple has been chasing the whole concept of thin for their iMac line like they do their laptops. Some one should tell Apple that few extra milimeters of depth for an all-in-one desktop isn't the end of the world. I dread to see how the late 2012 models are going to last long term.... Reply
solipsism - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkI don't see how adding a "few extra millimeters of depth" would help. I could even see an argument for how it could hurt using Simon42's comment about the chassis acting as a heat sink.
If it is an issue with heat and that issue can be solved with better cooling then that should be the resolution, not simply making the chassis a little bigger. If the improved cooling requires more room in the chassis then that should happen but that a circumstance of the solution.
It seems to me Apple would have done plenty of testing on these iMacs to see how hot the internals got under load and yet they've moved from using mobile-class chips to desktop-class chips and continued to make it thinner so I have to wonder if the problem isn't simply not enough attention given to proper cooling.

plewis00 - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkIt sounds like you've done stunning little research on what is actually inside an iMac... They use desktop CPUs, on custom-designed mainboards (just like a SFF desktop or laptop) and discrete laptop graphics (in the past low-mid range desktop chips were in use).
It's a premium computer where most of the cost is probably in the LCD panel and chassis actually - not a lot different to Dell XPS or high-end HP all-in-ones that also cost more money... Reply
solipsism - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkI don't get what you mean by a "laptop mobo" since it's a custom design. All I can think of is that only have having a bunch of PCIe slots on the mono means it can't be used for a desktop PC. Reply

name99 - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkI've no idea how you define a "mobile class processor" but my 2012 iMac has an quad-core i7-3770 at 3.4GHz turboi'ing up to 3.9GHz.
Intel classifies this as a Desktop CPU, and the only way you're going to get anything faster is by going to a Xeon (or one of those crazy "enthusiast" CPUs).
As far as I can tell, Apple does exactly what you'd expect them to do. They design the system to support a what is generally the highest powered (non-Xeon) Intel CPU available at the time, and users who want that can pay for it. But by default they ship the system with a lower performance/lower power CPU which is both cheaper and probably a better match for most people (who will appreciate a cooler running system, and will never use require the maximum performance of the more expensive chip). Whether that default chip is classified by Intel as Desktop or Mobile is probably irrelevant to Apple's calculations, what is relevant is the cost/performance/power tradeoff, with different decisions being made for different models.

Kevin G - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - linkMy implication is that the extra room would be used for larger heat sinks, taller fans and generally more room to move air around. Reply
name99 - Sunday, August 18, 2013 - link(a) The iMacs in question are 2011 models. They are NOT the current thin models. They are a lot fatter than a laptop, and the GPU has a hulking great heat sink on top --- you can find tear-down pics at iFixit.
(b) A persistent problem with ATI GPUs which I've noticed over the last five years or so is that ATI seems to constantly bin these things too aggressively so that a non-negligible fraction of them run very hot and eventually degenerate to displaying garbage. It's common enough that there's even a cottage industry on the internet telling you how to detach an ATI card or daughterboard and bake it in your oven for a few minutes in the hope that you'll repair minute solder breaks (which are one of the failure modes but not the only one, resulting from these constantly running so hot).
I've not noticed the same pattern in nV cards, but I've never looked at this scientifically, this is just seeing the pattern of complaints in forums over the years.
The very newest iMacs (the ones that ARE thinner) have (nV) GPUs soldered on board, not daughter cards, with no huge heat sinks, and the GPUs seem to run a lot cooler. Certainly nV seems to have taken seriously the realization that the previous model of continually cranking the things hotter and hotter was unsustainable. I've no idea whether ATI has seen the light on this point with there very latest GPUs. Reply
Kevin G - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkOne of the changes since 2011 has been the move to 28 nm GPU's. There is a bit of power saving there. The other change with GPU's, in particular nVidia's more recent Kepler parts is that they are throttling based upon temperature which in the case of the iMac, prevent failure in most cases.
As for AMD, the Radeon HD 7000 series was binned a bit lower than what they could get out of the designs (ie Radeon 7970 -> 7970 Ghz edition). I would expected better thermal controls with the next batch of GPU's due later this year since they'll be produced on the same 28 nm as the Radeon HD 7000 series. Reply

It reminds me of when they made me replace my defunct 5 year old 1st gen iPod nano (1gb) (free of postage) with a brand new 6th gen (4gb) version due to a battery issue they discovered.

Rocket321 - Monday, August 19, 2013 - linkIf you have an impacted S/N I would suggest running your GPU 24x7 until it fails for the replacement. I had a HP with a known defective GPU (probably the "bumpgate" referred to in this article) that got an extended warranty on the GPU due to very high failure rates. Unfortunately mine didn't start to fail until about a year after the extra warranty had run out. Lesson learned, fire up a game demo every night and kill it while you can still get it replaced for free. Reply

Not sure on which planet you're living but on this planet the dGPU is one of the most prominent failures one can have in a laptop though often it is related to the dGPU overheating and/or desoldering itself.

Why We Love Shrimpby Toby Amidor in Uncategorized, June 30, 2012
For years my culinary students have told me how much they love shrimp. They're pretty surprised when I tell them that these crustaceans are not only delicious, but good for you too! Here's why we love shrimp and how you can too.
Shrimp Facts
90% of the shrimp Americans consume is imported from countries in the Central and South America and Asia-Pacific regions. The hundreds of species of shrimp are typically divided into 2 basic categories: warm-water and cold-water shrimp. The rule of thumb is the colder the water, the smaller and juicier the shrimp.
Shrimp ranges in hue from deep red to pink to grayish-white to yellow and even dark green. When cooked, most shrimp shells change color due to a heat-induced chemical change.
You can buy shrimp according to their size—usually you'll find that larger shrimp cost a prettier penny. Colossal shrimp usually come 10 or less per pound, jumbo 11-15 per pound, extra-large 16-20 per pound, large 21-30 per pound, medium 31-35 per pound, small 36-45 per pound and miniature about 100 per pound. Of course, these numbers can vary from region to region. As a general rule, one pound of whole, raw shrimp yields ½ to ¾ pound of cooked meat.
Shrimp is available all year round. They can be found in various forms at your local market such as shelled or unshelled, cooked or raw and fresh or frozen.
The Nutrition Scoop
Three ounces of shrimp has 83 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 18 grams of protein. It's an excellent source of selenium and a good source of vitamins D and B12. It also has a boatload of omega-3 fats and the amino acid tryptophan.
The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 2 servings per week of seafood—right now, the average American only eats one serving per week. The American Heart Association also advocates eating seafood twice a week; studies have shown that it can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Many of my clients have voiced concern about the cholesterol found in shrimp. Studies have shown that saturated fat (not cholesterol) has a greater impact on raising your bad cholesterol. Although 3-ounces of shrimp contains about 40% of your daily recommended max of cholesterol, it doesn't contain any saturated fat. In addition, shrimp is very low in calories per ounce (about 28)—which makes it one of the lowest calorie protein sources around.
Shrimp Ideas
Here are ways you can enjoy this succulent crustacean:
- Roast shrimp for a delicious twist on shrimp cocktail.
- Keep it cool with Ellie Krieger's Shrimp and Snow Pea Salad.
- A little bit of bacon goes a long way with Tyler Florence's Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.
- Nothing beats a home-cooked Jambalaya.
- Grill 'em up in this Charcoal Grilled Shrimp recipe courtesy of The Shrimp Council (pictured above).

Police are searching for a man in his 50s who is alleged to have indecently assaulted four women in the western Sydney region around Rydalmere.
Police say that around 10.30am on Sunday a man assaulted a 17-year-old girl as she was walking on Primose Avenue.
The girl told police the man attempted to speak with her before grabbing and indecently assaulting her.
A short time later a 74-year-old woman told police that the same man indecently assaulted her while on Primrose Avenue.
Around 8am on Thursday police say a man approached a 16-year-old girl who was also walking on Primrose Avenue.
Police have been told the man greeted the girl before grabbing and indecently assaulting her.
Also on Thursday a 56-year-old woman says that a man approached her while she was in a park on Spofforth Street, Ermington.
She told police that she spoke briefly with the man, before attempting to grab and indecently assault her. The woman said she broke free from his grasp and he walked away.
Inspector Glen Parks from Granville Police Station said police were appealing to locals for help in finding the man.
"The person could live in the area and we are seeking people who live in the area to contact us," he said.
The man has been described to police as being of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern appearance, aged in his 50s or 60s, with a skinny build and black beard.
In one incident he was described as wearing a turban. In another he was described as wearing a cream-coloured cap and cream-coloured, loose-fitting shirt and pants.
On Sunday the man was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt and light brown pants.

Here is my column about Bruce Boudreau's whining, etc., from The Journal News and LoHud.com today.
John Tortorella:
I asked him about what Fedotenko means to the team, for the column I'm writing:
"He is a guy that, he's been good. He's been good in the series. He does all the little things and he's very underrated as far as his hitting, how stiff he is as a player. He does the little things on the boards. We'd like to see him score some more and that's in him. But he's very similar, for me on the bench, when I'm looking for someone because Cally isn't there, he's kind of turned into my Cally. I'm looking for him in all situations and he's played very well."
On coaches meeting with the director of officiating before each playoff game:
"I stay away from (the meeting). Glen does that. I've just got too many things going on in my mind. Glen handles all that stuff.
"(those meetings are about) points of emphasis, I think, of what's going on in the series, this, that and the other thing. But Glen's handling it."
On Bruce Boudreau's charge that the Rangers are targeting Mike Green's head:
"Well, I guess, our mindset is just focusing on what we need to do, how we play, play the right way, and get ready for Game 4. That's our main focus. We have confidence in the league, we have confidence in the officials, that they won't be influenced by all the whining going on here right now. So, we're staying away from it. We're focused on what we need to do. And like I said, we have confidence in the league that this doesn't affect the series. It's a pretty good series, two pretty good teams going at it pretty hard."
On the anxiety over one-goal games, and the two leads that evaporated in Game 3:
"We've handled ourselves well. We've been in a lot of one-goal games this year. It's a different situation in the playoffs. But again, we had, especially in one game, we had a lot of obstacles to overcome as far as our mindset. And we're just going to go about our business. That is our mindset. We're not going to get into any type of convoluted thinking. We'll worry about playing and handling the surges and the ups and downs of what goes on in games and we'll try to find our way."
On the physical play:
"That's part of playing. That's a big part of playoff hockey. But you have to be really careful that you don't lose your emotions, you stay within it, play between the whistles, go about your business the right way.
"Two days … we got asked the question the other day, two days between games. I'm sure both teams are chomping on the bit. I know we are. We just want to play."
On how Sean Avery's play contributed to Mats Zuccarello's demotion to Connecticut for the AHL playoffs:
"We're pretty confident with our lineup here. And, again, you still have to shuffle around in your mind as far as developing players, too. They're in the playoffs down there. To bag skate Zucc every day here is kind of counterproductive to him, where he could be playing in the American League playoffs. And that's part of the process for him. He's done some really good things for us here. But we have to find exactly what he is as we continue growing as a hockey club here. So this is good for him.
"And it is, it's two-fold thing. It's for him, for development, and we're pretty comfortable with our lineup right now."
On the new look on the club:
"Those silly moustaches?"
Are you not going to follow suit?
"No. no. I … what are you trying to talk about, that I'm gray? No, I'm not. I … no."
On the decision to skate at MSG tomorrow instead of at Greenburgh — he was reminded that he did it in the 2009 playoffs, too, but didn't remember:
"New York is a different animal from other places that we've coached in. It's a dynamic that, I still have a lot to learn in what is best. But in playoffs, we're not sequestering our players in the hotel. We're trying to do the best for them. We've had meetings on that. But as far as game-day, three-quarters of the team is down there. We will have meetings on game day during playoffs, there will be an optional skate. So four or five guys from Westchester will be in the city tomorrow. That's the way we're going to go about it."
On going with Stepan and Anisimov during the remaining 4-on-4 after Dubinsky's go-ahead goal late in Game 3:
"Well, they weren't playing that bad at that time. I thought with Artie — it has been a little bit of a struggle for both of them. I don't think Step was bad at all during the game. I thought Artie came on as the game went on, made a couple of offensive plays around the net. I have faith in him, and honestly in the 4-on-4, it worried me as far as, I wanted to make sure we got through it without getting scored on, because I respect some of the people that they can throw out there. They're two pretty good defensive players, and we came back with them. I just didn't feel comfortable at that time putting anybody else out there. I felt they were our two best at that point in time. I had just finished Dubi and Feds."
On what he wants his team to carry over from Game 3:
"Focus. Focus. I have full faith in the club that they're not going to get involved in anything around us and just focus on the job at hand. And they're focused in practice. As I said, they'll be ready to play. Whether it comes into a win or a loss … there's so many things that determine winning and losing, but I know these guys will be ready to play. That is the key. Stay focused on the job."

SHOP owners were left disgusted after finding raw sewage on the pavement outside a Chinese restaurant in Bournemouth this morning.
Neighbours of the Golden Dragon Palace in Wimborne Road, Northbourne, found toilet paper and what appeared to be human excrement outside the takeaway after the owners had apparently tried to unblock their drain, but left the material out on the pavement.
The Golden Dragon Palace was closed on food hygiene grounds earlier this month after inspectors found dirty preparation and storage areas, before being re-opened after a "thorough clean".
Owner of next door K2 Electrical Services, Andy Euels, said this had happened before and had seen employees of the takeaway trying to unblock the drain.
"I have been phoning environmental health since 8.30am and can't get through. It just keeps ringing and ringing," he added.
"There are people walking straight through it and not realising what it is."
Mr Euels said he first noticed the problem at 7.45am and alerted Sandi Finlay, owner of neighbouring salon Hair Stop, to the situation.
Ms Finlay said it was off-putting for her customers. "It is pretty gross," she added.
A spokesperson from Wessex Water said the problem had been caused by a large amount of fat, which had been traced back to the takeaway, blocking the sewer.
The spokesman added: "This was cleared up immediately and we advised the restaurant owners how to dispose of fat, oils and greases appropriately, to avoid it happening again."
Speaking on behalf of the owner of Golden Palace Dragon Lee Ni said the staff will listen to the advice given.
She said: "We don't want it to happen again. We don't want to inconvenience our neighbours and it's not good for us as well."

Hello my loves! I hope you're having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! I wanted to take a second to share something with you. As some of you might know, I was selected as one of 70 top Latina bloggers to attend a conference in Washington D.C. A big thank you to Latinos in Social Media for this amazing opportunity. While I was there, I was given a makeover by Mary Kay. We took photos all over the city. When I get those photos, I will definitely share them with you. Super excited to see them!
We also had a chance to attend a special briefing at The White House! I think this may have been the first time a large group of bloggers were extended an exclusive invite to talk about topics that affect our community. It was very surreal.
I didn't get to take many photos of myself that day, I was too busy being a photographer! LOL! I did have someone snap a few pics of me in my outfit. I wore this black dress I was gifted last year from Julia of Buxom Chick, a black IGIGI cardigan, and Bandolino pumps. I didn't know what to wear, this was kind of a last minute outfit. I was trying to be as conservative as possible! LOL!

SAINT LEO, Fla. – After last night's euphoric season-opening win, the Saint Leo men's basketball team was quickly brought back to earth as the Lions were handed a 54-42 defeat by Southern PolyTech (Ga.) at the Bowman Center on Saturday afternoon.
It was a game that was decided from behind the big arc as the visiting Hornets (1-1) drained 11 treys and went 11-for-25 from behind the 3-point line. Compared the Lions' lone 3-pointer, Southern Poly actually made more shots from 3-point range than they did from inside the zone.
The Lions (1-1) shot 43 percent (20-for-47) from the field, but were also cold from the charity stripe with just 1-of-6 free throws passing through the twine. Add in 21 turnovers and it became a day where the visitors would hold the upper hand.
Two Lions reached double figures in scoring with Marcus Ruh bucketing a game-high 12 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Going 5-for-10 from the field, Dominick Robinson tallied 10 points in the setback.
For Southern PolyTech, Bobby Smith and Tyrone Brinson scored 10 points each.
Saint Leo will try to rebound from their first loss when it travels to Valdosta, Ga. for their first game against NCAA Division II opponents when they face Valdosta State University on Tuesday evening. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. at The Complex on the VSU campus. For the latest news, information, and updates on Lions Men's Basketball and all other Saint Leo Athletics, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

An intervening variable is a hypothetical concept that attempts to explain relationships between variables, and especially the relationships between independent variables and dependent variables. It is often distinguished from a hypothetical construct in that it has no properties other than those observed in empirical research. That is, it is simply a summary of the relationships observed between independent and dependent variables.
For example, hunger is a hypothetical internal state which has been used to explain the relationships between independent variables such as length of time without food, or amount of food consumed, and dependent variables which are measures of eating. Intervening variables may be useful in reducing the number of relationships which need to be explained; for example, in attempting to explain the relationships between five independent variables and two dependent measures of eating, the use of the intervening variable of hunger reduces the number of relationships to be explained from ten to seven (five between the independent variables and hunger, and two between hunger and the dependent variables).
On the other hand, one can make the statement that acquaintance with members of other races and exposure to anti-racist education reduces intolerant behaviour towards members of other races and increases social interaction with members of other races. This statement is phrased so generally that it must imply relationships which have not been observed. A hypothetical construct of tolerance could be posited as a means of explaining the relationships between these and other variables.

I am new here and I am hoping someone can help me identify this pretty pitcher/creamer I picked up at an Estate Sale.
There are no markings on her indicating who/where she was made, or when.
If anyone knows, I would appreciate it!
Thank you!

Based in Nairobi, Altener Energy is a "business with a philosophy" that promotes renewable energy and delivers custom solar energy solutions. In addition to solar cooking, the company works in the fields of solar water heating, solar electricity, wind energy, and energy planning and management. AltEner has installed large scale, concentrator-type cooking systems, based on the Scheffler community kitchen concept, in several countries. The company can also design high temperature trough solar cooking systems.
News and recent developments
- July 2005: Altener Energy Technologies presented a 3-square-meter Scheffler reflector for observation at the 19th Mara Development Forum in Mugumu, Serengeti District, Tanzania. Scheffler reflectors are large parabolic dishes that are often used to heat a cooking medium (such as water to make steam) that is circulated to one or more indoor cooking stations. This is a smaller version. Mr. Charles Onyango-Oloo of Altener says the new design is user friendly since "the port is mounted on one side and not in the middle of the reflector dish." Altener is currently developing a 1.5-square-meter, manually tracked Scheffler cooker.

Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
I think he means it is a precondition for the more highly-developed consciousness that we see in adult humans. He concedes that infants and very young children are conscious in many different way - just not in that highly-structured, sophisticated, self-aware mode that older humans partake in, largely as a result of acquiring language.
To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Bryan McGilly, and currently I occasionally engage in discussion on a web forum known as Genius Forums. Some of the founders would like to engage in discussion regarding their many topics of interest, one of which is feminism and the feminine. At first glance, you may find their thoughts contrary and possibly misogynistic, but I assure you whoever would engage them would be treated with the same respect and courtesy they treat all guests with. If anyone would like to take on and defend the basis of feminism on a recorded live debate, please contact me at this e-mail address.
I think it would do well for someone from your organization to come forward and enlighten an audience on the finer and larger points of feminism. If you would like to visit this forum and the associated website in order to garner an idea of those whith whom you would debate, please visit here:
Thanking you for your reply in advance,
Bryan McGilly

Seriously, are you open to having any Gforum members participate on your podcast show?
I really think I could take the show in an interesting direction.
