"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 removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"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."
"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"

IT WAS Groundhog Day for Swindon Town at the Priestfield Stadium – another shallow away performance ending in defeat.
It's becoming predictable now. Town, so brilliant on so many occasions on home turf, just cannot find a rhythm or flow on their travels. Such was the nature of this loss, to a direct but unexceptional Gillingham, that it would have been possible to reproduce the match report from the 2-0 defeat at Stevenage on Tuesday night and discrepancies would have been few and far between.
Swindon weren't awful but they were sloppy, careless, unimaginative and indecisive – hardly a combination of qualities that you need to grind out crucial points on rutted pitches in far away outposts as the season reaches its business end.
There was isolated displays of encouragement – Alex Pritchard's tricky, energetic display drew noticeable praise from the 372 hardy souls who made the trip to Gillingham, while Jay McEveley returned at left-back and showed how important an experienced head can be when times are tough.
The omens all pointed to defeat. Swindon had not won at the Priestfield for more than 26 years, the man in charge of the game – referee Andy Madley – had presided over the debacle at Macclesfield in the FA Cup and Town were winless on the road in more than two months, and perhaps some were expecting another loss. Maybe that's the problem. Psychology.
Whatever's the matter, Swindon fell behind in the most basic of fashions within 20 minutes as they failed to mark Leon Legge – who Nathan Byrne revealed after the game had been earmarked by Town as the Gills' dangerman in the air – and the defender nodded home from a free-kick.
Michael Harriman added a second for the hosts seven minutes before the end and Gillingham were good value for their three points. Town's next away day is next Tuesday at Walsall, let's hope it's not a repeat all over again.
Robins manager Mark Cooper made one change to the XI which started at Stevenage, with McEveley replacing Dany N'Guessan, while the Town boss changed to a 3-5-2 formation as Alex Pritchard supported Nile Ranger up front.
Gillingham's sizeable striker Adebayo Akinfenwa had the game's first sight of goal in the second minute but, having outmuscled Grant Hall at the back post, the former Swansea and Northampton man could only steer his volley wide.
Though Swindon looked comfortable with ball at feet on a difficult playing surface, littered as it was with ruts and divots, Gillingham were almost exclusively carving out the goalscoring chances in the first 15 minutes.
Legge's attempt was blocked by Darren Ward en route to goal and Stephen Gregory sliced wide as the Gills looked to make early inroads. Town enjoyed their first shot in the 14th minute but Ryan Mason lashed over the hosts' crossbar from range.
Within 18 minutes, however, Gillingham had found a way in front. It didn't require any great skill or precision – a lofted free-kick into the area wasn't properly dealt with and Legge nipped in front of Ranger to head past Wes Foderingham.
Swindon tried to rally and McEveley headed narrowly wide of the far post from Pritchard's corner on the 20th minute before Ranger toe-poked tamely at Stuart Nelson from Nathan Thompson's cross but Gillingham still looked the more dangerous in attack, as Town's three centre-backs struggled to hold a strong defensive line.
Ward played McDonald onside in the 28th minute and the Gills striker should have done much better than drag his shot wide when clean through on goal while Adam Barrett crashed a volley against the advertising hoarding's behind Foderingham as Town kept on failing to track the runs of their opposite numbers.
Swindon had half-chances that came and went – Kasim thrashed wide from range in the 29th minute – but Gillingham seemed to be getting closer and closer to a second of the afternoon. Only inches separated Michael Harriman and a stunning strike with 13 minutes remaining before the break.
Joe Martin was next to try his luck for the home side in the 40th minute but his speculative effort from range drifted wide before Town had their golden chance to go into half-time level.
Pritchard wriggled free of a couple of tackles on the right-hand side of the penalty area and his pinpoint cross picked out Kasim who did well to control his sidefooted shot on target. It appeared destined to find the bottom corner but Nelson stuck out a leg to deflect it wide for a corner.
It would have been an unfair representation of what had come before had Town been level at half-time. Gillingham – direct but far from fluent – had bossed much of the match and once against Swindon were homesick.
Town came out with more desire in the second period but both teams took quarter of an hour to settle into their stride. In the 60th minute Akinfenwa came within a whisker of putting the hosts two goals in front when his header drifted wide of Foderingham's right-hand post.
But Swindon found a spark in the shape of substitute Barker, thrown on to replace the stricken Hall in the 53rd minute. The former Brighton man latched onto Ranger's tidy flick-on only to dally in possession inside the box and watch a good chance go to waste before winning a free-kick right on the edge of the area, from which Pritchard fired straight at Nelson.
Only a superb backtracking block from Legge prevented Pritchard from testing Nelson with 20 minutes remaining of the contest, while Branco walloped a wild effort into the Town fans behind the Gillingham goal from the resulting corner.
At the other end Foderingham was quick off his line to keep out McDonald while, seconds later, Luongo handed Nelson a comfortable save with a fairly tame curling effort when a pass to the unmarked Ranger was perhaps the better option.
But Swindon couldn't keep their opponents to a single goal and, with seven minutes remaining, the Gills breached the visitors' defences again.
This time it was not so much about bad defending but intelligent forward play as Bradley Dack found Joe Martin behind enemy lines and when his cross picked out the unmarked Harriman there was only going to be one result.

We've just added a new zine by Emma Markala, author of zines such as The Department of Forgiving, Shiny Prairie and Tower of Journal. As with those zines, it contains Emma's choppy collages and poetry.
We have also finally updated the details for Folklore, a CD-R by Syd Terminal (Hole in the Ground, A Walk Around Pendle Hill etc) so that you can now actually buy it! Sorry it took so long, Syd.
Of course, we haven't given you enough time to order these for Christmas, but we hope you have a good one anyway, and would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support over this year, particularly to everyone whose zines we've stocked and everyone who's ordered from us. This year has been a very productive one for Take Care, in terms of mail-order: over the years (ha! we can actually say that now, pretty good, hey?) we've gone from having very sporadic mail-order sales and having to rely on attending lots of zine fairs to sell zines, to having a pretty reliable, steady, weekly flow of mail-order sales. Which is great, because that's what we really wanted the focus of the distro to be: a mail-order zine service. It feels very cool to have achieved this. So, thanks again!
So, January 1 2014 will be our official 4th anniversary. In previous years we've made a newsletter to mark this occasion (the 2013 newsletter was pretty delayed and didn't come out till March) but this year we've printed a mini pocket calendar on Tim's Adana letterpress, which will be sent out in lieu of a newsletter. We have a lot of cutting and trimming to do to get in out in time for January, but stay tuned for progress.

Kansas Wheat Holds Wheat Leaders Reunion at New Innovation Center
Date Posted: February 14, 2013
Manhattan, KS—As Del Wiedemann toured the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center in Manhattan with his wife, Pat, his enthusiasm could scarcely be contained.
From the Center's molecular breeding laboratories, to row-after-row of environmental growth chambers, to the custom-built greenhouse complex, the Innovation Center symbolizes a new future for the nation's wheat industry.
"The word that comes to mind is what teenagers say, and that's 'awesome'," said Wiedeman, a Wakeeney farmer who served on the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers board of directors in the 1980s and was president of the National Association of Wheat Growers in 1990.
Wiedeman was one of nearly 30 past KAWG directors and Kansas Wheat Commissioners who visited the KWIC on Feb. 9. The goal of the first-ever "Wheat Leaders Reunion" was to re-engage those whose leadership shaped the current Kansas wheat industry with a building that, indirectly, they helped create.
"This has been an emotional experience," said Wiedeman of his first look at the KWIC, and the chance to reconnect with many farmers he hadn't seen for years.
"With this facility, built by farmers for wheat farmers, it's kind of like coming home again."
Aaron Harries, director of marketing for Kansas Wheat, said the gathering was a unique opportunity for leaders from the two organizations to get reacquainted.
"These are the folks who laid the groundwork for this Innovation Center.
"While the two organizations have evolved over the years, strong leadership has been a constant.
"A vision of a home for the Kansas wheat farmer is something that these leaders have shared and it's nice to see their dreams realized," Harries said.
Cooperation between KAWG and the KWC has been vital to the strength of the Kansas wheat industry in the past.
That the two groups led the building of the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center is impressive, said Ernie Schlatter, a Lebanon farmer who served on the Kansas Wheat Commission in the 2000s.
"I was amazed to think about what's going to take place here," he said.
"To lead wheat research, what could be a better place than right here in Manhattan?"
The tour participants learned how doubled haploid wheat research being conducted at the KWIC will lead to quicker development of wheat varieties suited for Kansas farmers.
This research, and future research projects in the Center's 25,000 square feet of laboratory and greenhouse space, has the potential to boost wheat yields and improve efficiency of wheat farmers.
"I would like to see wheat yields increase about 10 bushels per acre; I think that's the goal of all wheat farmers," Schlatter said.
By their investments in the wheat checkoff, and through decades of grassroots leadership in Topeka and Washington, D.C., Kansas wheat producers have paved the way for the next era in wheat research and innovation.
"The wheat industry will play an extremely important role in the future, as it has in the past.
"We need to do things in a modern way, and be able to position, adjust and innovate what's coming down the road," Wiedeman said.
"This facility will help keep the U.S. wheat industry competitive for a long time."

Spiritual Home: Los Feliz, L.A.
Say this about Brad Pitt—the man clearly enjoys his jewelry design. Long before he collaborated with Robert Procop on Angelina Jolie's diamond engagement ring, the Sexiest Fiancé Alive had a hand in creating what to slip on Jennifer Aniston's finger. Not only did Pitt work with designer Silvia Damiani on the swirling diamond ring he proposed to Aniston with in 1999, but he also reportedly designed the rock he gave to Gwyneth Paltrow two years earlier (though the two never made it down the aisle). While Aniston's ring was worth an estimated $500,000, experts value Jolie's at half that amount. Then again, the two do have a lot of mouths to feed.
Tom Cruise
For a man who bought Katie Holmes an engagement ring shortly after their first date, Tom Cruise wasn't taking any chances when it came to the proposal—he asked her at one of the most romantic spots on earth, the Eiffel Tower. The five-carat Fred Leighton oval diamond Cruise purchased is surrounded by six carats of smaller diamonds and estimated at $275,000. Fifteen years earlier, Cruise gave Nicole Kidman a more modest diamond engagement ring—perhaps because it was only months after his divorce to Mimi Rogers was final—but her second husband, Keith Urban, made up for that by proposing with a three-stone diamond ring and giving her a $120,000 "push present" after their baby was born. But there may be a new ring in the future for Kidman and Cruise: Their adopted daughter, Isabella, is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend, singer Eddie Frencher.

As claims that interior designers play a crucial role in protecting the public's welfare are scrutinized, advocates for professional licensure look to lawmakers to formalize the accountability associated with that responsibility.
By Rita Carson Guest, FASID
Please, don't let me be misunderstood," goes the old song. I feel that way too when I read news accounts of pending interior design legislation. Over and over they repeat the same misstatements that our goal is to restrict the trade of decorators and others offering design services. Nothing could be further from the truth. Quite the contrary, we are asking to be allowed to practice our profession.
Advancements in building engineering, technology, and product design, along with increased health and safety standards, have caused our profession to develop rapidly in the past several decades. Our clients are demanding more from us, and we have become more knowledgeable in many more areas to keep up with changing market needs and regulations. The almost daily innovation of communication and computing technologies, the growing adoption of sustainable design approaches, and the looming challenge of our aging population are just a few of the more well-known examples of social changes that are transforming our industry.
Accredited interior design programs focus on preparing students to design spaces to protect the health, safety and welfare of the occupants. The NCIDQ Exam tests knowledge on health, safety and welfare. The myth that the work of interior designers does not affect the health, safety and welfare of the public is told over and over by people who do not understand the work we do.
While the principles of decoration have not changed substantially for hundreds of years, the practice of interior design is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Yet, laws that were put in place even before interior design became a profession in its own right prevent us from providing full design services to our clients. Our only recourse, therefore, is to seek to have the law brought up to date. We are asking that those practitioners who can provide evidence that they meet the necessary requirements—similar requirements demanded of other professionals—be permitted to provide certain services, which they are trained and qualified to perform. We are not arguing against the rights of others to offer their services or to compete for similar clients who may require those services in the marketplace. That is a mistaken inference that is often used against us by our opponents, who hope to frighten others into joining their cause.
We, as a nation, highly value individual freedom. We have prospered by encouraging individuals with talent and ambition to pursue their dreams into whatever field of activity or sphere of society they desire. It is understandable that Americans question any effort that would appear to infringe upon those liberties. Perhaps it should not be a surprise, then, that one of the arguments used against regulating interior design is that we want to "license" interior designers and a "license" is a restriction that prohibits everyone else but a select few from conducting a certain type of business. It goes to show how twisted words can become when they are taken out of context. A quick check in any standard English dictionary will show that the word license means "permission to act" or "freedom to act."
To those who say to us, "Why do you need a law for interior designers?" we say, interior design is already regulated de facto. The law is there to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, and we support that. But those laws are preventing interior designers from fully practicing their profession. We simply want states to grant interior design professionals who meet the necessary qualifications to be permitted to offer their services. We want to loosen the restriction on interior design professionals, not add a new one.
Words can be slippery, but our position is clear and has been consistent from the beginning. Twenty-six U.S. states and jurisdictions have seen the merit of our request. Other design services continue to thrive in those states and jurisdictions. Interior design professionals regularly work hand-in-hand with other professions and trades to design spaces that meet client needs. We know and respect the value that they bring to the project. Let them do what they are trained to do, and let us do what we are trained to do. Everyone, including the client, will benefit.

BCS Southwest Division 3A
Bridgwater College Perf Squad 3, Richard Huish II 4
A DEFLECTED goal in the final seconds of the game saw Bridgwater slip to defeat at the hands of Richard Huish.
The defeat ended a five-game unbeaten run which had moved them to second in the table.
The initial stages of the match were dominated by Bridgwater College with the midfield trio of Stan Smith, Owen Sellick and Billy Vickery dictating the pace and style of the game.
However, for all of the possession and attacking opportunities, Bridgwater failed to get their first eight shots on target offering Huish a lifeline. From this point a physical and determined Huish side started to find their rhythm and opportunities were traded at both ends of the field.
Stan Smith opened the scoring for Bridgwater as the Huish defence held on to the ball too long, but Huish grabbed an equaliser before the break.
The second half was much more fluent by Bridgwater utilising the pace of Liam Twigger and Regan Blake to exploit the defence of Richard Huish.
After a constant threat, Owen Sellick managed to make the score 2-1, but a lapse in concentration let Huish back into the game and they took the lead with two quick-fire goals.
Kye Whelan again levelled things up with a fine free-kick, but Huish responded by taking a quick free-kick and catching Bridgwater unaware and managed to score a deflected shot in the last moments of the game.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/8/2013 (1465 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- Another near-perfect performance from Ricky Ray ensured the Toronto Argonauts' impressive start to the CFL season stayed on course.
The veteran quarterback threw three touchdowns and tied a club record for consecutive completions Sunday as the red-hot Argonauts won their fourth straight, 36-33 over the Edmonton Eskimos.
Ray, who finished the night 30-of-35 for 413 yards, including TD passes to Jason Barnes, John Chiles and Chad Owens against his former team, says his comfort level is a big reason the numbers have been so staggering.
"It feels like you're just seeing everything and trusting everything," said Ray, who has thrown for 851 yards and eight touchdowns in Toronto's last three victories. "There's no second guessing or double clutching or worrying about anything. You're just seeing it and throwing it. That's a good feeling."
Ray's 17 straight completions in the first half tied the Argonauts' club record set by Mike Rae in 1975 in a game against the Montreal Alouettes.
"When you look at each play individually you feel like you should be able to complete every one," Ray added. "We're just in a good stretch right now. There's going to be some games where I'm not going to complete this many passes."
Ray came over to Toronto in a lopsided trade with Edmonton prior to last season and was instrumental in helping the Argonauts with the 100th Grey Cup on home turf at Rogers Centre.
"I've always thought Ricky was one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league," Toronto head coach Scott Milanovich said. "He's in a system that fits him now with playmakers at receiver and at tailback and now he's a year into it.
"At this point he's just hot. He's always going to be good but at this point he's just red-hot and things are taking off for him."
Despite the victory, Milanovich was not happy with his team's performance in the fourth quarter as the Eskimos cut the Toronto lead late.
"Those guys are not satisfied and clearly we are not happy but I'll never apologize for a win," he said. "They played well. We give them credit but we had a chance to put that thing away and we didn't do it."
Backup quarterback Zach Collaros also threw a TD for Toronto (5-2), which is on its longest winning streak since 2007 and leads the East Division by four points over the second place Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The Eskimos (1-6), meanwhile, sit last in the West and have lost their last three games by a combined nine points.
"The loss is very disappointing. Devastating actually," Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed said. "It's a lot about details. A lot of things we're not doing well ... I'm not doing well.
"I have to look at myself in the mirror as to how things have turned out."
Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly was 35-of-46 for 511 yards and three touchdowns as the Eskimos lost their fifth consecutive game.
"People can talk about the numbers but they should have been higher," Reilly said. "I missed a couple of throws. Drives stalled. We didn't play the entire four quarters."
Grant Shaw added four field goals for Edmonton, which was without injured star linebacker and reigning CFL defensive player of the year J.C. Sherritt (thumb surgery).
"If I throw for 100 yards and win I'm happy," Reilly said. "It doesn't matter how much it is if we lose."
Notes: Owens finished with nine catches for 102 yards...Edmonton won both regular-season meetings between the teams last season. The Argos beat them in the East semifinal.

Pre-compilersSASS & Coffeescript are defaults in Rails so you'll already have these in your GemfileAdd HAML and Compass and 'bundle install' or 'bi' if you installed ohmyzsh
gem 'haml-rails'
gem 'compass-rails'
Haml compiles to HTMLSass & Compass compile to CSSCoffeescript compiles Javascript
I still occasionally butt heads with Coffeescript and Haml but for the most part I find them great and they require a lot less code.Sass and Compass are absolute no brainers, if you're not using them yet, do.
To use pre-compilers you just add extensions to your views, stylesheets or javascript files e.g.edit.haml, application.js.coffee, application.css.scss
Testing with Cucumber, Capybara and RSpecThere's great value in writing automated tests, refactor your code and ensure you haven't broken anything.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the awesome write-up of tools for Rails. I went through this over the weekend and installed Rails and created a small project and worked through the syntax and handling. I quite liked it. It was relatively easy to transfer C#, Java and PHP knowledge to Rails. I don't know if I will have time to explore this more in the 'near' future. But everything you laid out here is great to get started with it!
Thanks Steve,
Yes, it's pretty easy to get started with Rails if you're familiar with other programming languages.The biggest hurdle people have is needing to adopt the conventions and do things the Rails way, if you work within those conventions then it's easy to work with.
Two years ago I really dug into ruby and rails but after getting a job at a PHP and C shop haven't looked at since. I have always found it interesting and the syntax elegant. Will have to use your post as a stepping stone to getting back into in my down time. I mean rails is the MVC framework all other domain based MVCs *try to replicate. So I think that talks worlds.
I had originally looked at Heroku quite a long time ago and thought it was an inferior choice over 'real hosting'.But recently, I had a project where my host was causing a lot of struggles with Capistrano (SSH key stuff) and I turned [back] to Heroku. It has matured quite a bit and I have now become a big fan. With their toolkit installed (on my MackBook) deploying a Rails application is as easy as 'git push heroku' !
Secondly, I wanted to add to this list (at your discretion, @markbrown4; ) RubyMine by JetBrains. I viewed their videos and was impressed enough to download a trial.After using it I discovered so many awesome features (I think the videos do not do it justice) that I felt compelled to purchase a license.It is THE DEFINITIVE Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Rails. It also supports other, similar, technologies like RubyMotion. They have a very flexible license too.
Feel free to add to the list, however I always enjoy quoting this whenever IDE's are discussed.
Where's my IDE? If you're coming to Ruby and Rails from languages such as C# and Java, you may be wondering about IDEs. After all, we all know that it's impossible to code modern applications without at least 100MB of IDE supporting our every keystroke. For you enlightened ones, here's the point in the book where we recommend you sit down - ideally propped up on each side by a pile of framework references and 1,000-page Made Easy books. There are no fully-fledged IDEs for Ruby or Rails (although some environments come close). Instead, most Rails developers use plain old editors. And it turns out that this isn't as much of a problem as you might think. With other, less expressive languages, programmers rely on IDEs to do much of the grunt work for them: IDEs do code generation, assist with navigation, and compile incre- mentally to give early warning of errors. With Ruby, however, much of this support just isn't necessary. Editors such as TextMate give you 90 percent of what you'd get from an IDE but are far lighter weight. Just about the only useful IDE facility that's missing is refactoring sup- port. for and edit previous commands, and how to complete the names of files and commands as you type. So-called tab completion is standard on Unix shells such as Bash and zsh. It allows you to type the first few characters of a filename, hit Tab , and have the shell look for and complete the name based on matching files.
Most Rails developers I know use SublimeText, Textmate or Vim which are all plain but flexible text editors.
I agree completely and have been a fan of SublimeText (for Rails development) for quite a while. It seems that Rails is attractive to the more 'hard core' CLI-driven geeks.
I love that paragraph. From whence does that come?
Agile Web Development with Rails.
Im a Rails developer in Linux environment and I use Aptana, it works great, I have use SublimeText 2 its a great tool

A FORMER England hockey star from Burnley has revealed how she was bullied at school for being talented at sport.
Charlotte Hartley, 27, said she lost some of her hair after she developed mild alopecia.
She spoke out during a visit to Blessed Trinity RC College in Burnley, where she gave a PE lesson to Year 7 pupils and talked to Year 11 English students as part of their GCSE work.
The Sky Sports mentor said: "When I was at primary school, because I was good at sport, I got bullied. The bullying led to some hair loss – mild alopecia – but Charlotte admitted this bizarrely helped her.
"To be honest, it made me stronger. It's not nice but it has all helped me to make me what I am today.
"I am sure if the bullies knew that was going to happen to me then they wouldn't have done it."
She overcame the setbacks and excelled at sport, finding her love for hockey thanks to Mansfield High School's PE teacher Lil Dykes, who was a former hockey player for Scotland.
It led to Charlotte having trials for England Under 16 hockey team aged 13 - but she also had trials for England Under 16 football team at the same time.
"I got into the hockey team while I only made the football squad – and so I chose hockey," she said.
Over the next six years, and with the support of her mum and dad driving her all over, she competed for her country.
She won a bronze medal at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006 and gold in the Sydney Youth Games.
Charlotte, who now plays for Burnley FC Ladies team, said: "We had funding and I went all over the world doing the sport I love which was great.
"The Commonwealth Games bronze medal after a penalty shoot-out, as one of the youngest members of the team, was a high for me but the year after I was dropped from the senior team."
Charlotte instead went with the Great Britain youth squad to the Sydney Youth Olympics and won gold but, after that, developed an eating disorder.
"I got myself really fit to try and win my place back in the senior team and people said I looked well and it looked like I had lost weight.
"This played on my mind and I wanted to get fitter and I started to lose more weight and ended up having to pack in my international career and spent time with consultants.
"I was eating well and training again though within a year."
Blessed Trinity's English teacher Sarah Webb said: "Charlotte was inspirational and a lot of the students could relate to her.
"They were spellbound when she told them about her life and had plenty of questions to ask her about her career."

WEPL Bristol and Somerset
Wembdon 90 lost to Chew Magna 91-3 by seven wickets
WEMBDON have slipped to the bottom of the Bristol and Somerset Division following a seven wicket defeat to relegation rivals Chew Magna on Saturday.
Only three players made it into double figures as Wembdon were shot out for just 90 inside 29 overs batting first.
Chew Magna cruised to their target inside 17 overs to leapfrog Wembdon in the table.
Captain Dan Bingham was left to rue his side's inability to bat 50 overs and admits his side are now in a relegation scrap.
He said: "You just can't be bowled out in 30 overs and expect to win games, it's not good enough. We've had bits of bad luck here and there, but overall, we haven't been good enough.
"We started the season well and won three games, but we've lost four games this month and now we're in a real scrap."
Wembdon lost the toss and were asked to bat first at Chew Court and Puddy went early - but Blackwell launched a counter attack.
Curd played a watchful innings and he was at the crease when Blackwell (24) top edged a delivery searching for the boundary.
Curd and Bowditch played patient innings' to the flurry of wickets they shared a stand of 23 to take Wembdon to 50 but a flurry of wickets saw Wembdon collapse to 84 for 7.
Trunks had a brief and explosive cameo for 22 whilst Eckley and Bowditch tried to add some respectability.
But when Bowditch (25) went to a good stumping the innings was wrapped up and Wembdon were dismissed yet again for a poor 90 from just 29 overs.
The pitch had a few gremlins and a few early wickets could have made the encounter interesting, but the talented Watson who came in early after Pope trapped Blower LBW, took the game away from Wembdon with strong stroke play.
Hubbard did get Watson (39) caught behind but with seven runs required for a Chew win, the game had gone Wembdon host high flying Taunton next Saturday at Wembdon 1pm start.

PHILADELPHIA – West Philadelphia bragging rights are at stake Wednesday night as Penn hosts Drexel in men's soccer at Rhodes Field (7:30 p.m.) in the 40th installment of the University City Derby.
The Red and Blue are in the midst of a four-match homestand, and are looking to snap a six-match losing skid. After winning back-to-back matches at Penn Park in the opening weekend of play, the Quakers have dropped their last half dozen matches, including three at renovated Rhodes Field.
The Dragons, on the other hand, enter the match flying high on the strength of a five-match winning streak. After beginning 2013 0-2-1, the Dragons have outscored their opponents, 9-2, with three shutouts to improve to 5-2-1 overall.
Despite missing out on positive results, the Red and Blue have been maintaining a high level of offense throughout 2013. Just twice have the Quakers failed to register at least one goal during a match this season, and Penn has tallied at least two goals in four outings. Nationally, Penn's 1.63 goals-per-game and 13 total goals scored rank in the top 25% of Division I programs.
Duke Lacroix earned a spot on the Ivy League's weekly Honor Roll after scoring twice last week to take the team lead in scoring with three total goals in 2013. He is part of a group six players tied for fifth in the Ivy League in points with six, joined by teammate Louis Schott who has two goals and two assists. Lacroix's three goals are tied for fourth among Ancient Eight players.
The Ivy League's most frequent shot taker returns to Penn's lineup on Wednesday night in Stephen Baker. The senior striker has averaged 3.57 shots-per-game over the 2013 season, totaling 25 shots over seven matches. He missed Sunday's 2-0 loss to FIU after receiving a pair of yellow cards in the early stages of Friday's match with Florida Gulf Coast. The Quakers will be without Alex Murphy after the sophomore received a red card on Sunday against the Panthers.
Drexel matches up exactly with the Quakers in terms of total goals scored (13) and goals-per-game (1.63) after running through its last five opponents. On Saturday, the Dragons netted their biggest win of the season with a 2-1 win over William & Mary – a team which had scored two wins over teams ranked No. 1 this season. The CAA regular season champion and an NCAA Tournament qualifier last season, Drexel found success when it turned to freshman goalkeeper Tyler Afflerbach in goal. Since entering the starting lineup Sept. 8 against Stony Book, Afflerbach has backstopped the Dragons to all five of their wins this season, and he enters the week ranked third in the country in save percentage at .900 (18 saves) and is fourth in goals-against (0.40) with just two goals allowed.
All-time, Penn is 28-9-2 against the Dragons. Last season, Drexel netted a 2-1 win at Vidas Field, Action was fast and furious to start the game, both teams with a goal before the match was 13' old. Travis Cantrell had Penn's goal, tying the match at 1-1 on a long bomb from 25yds out. In the final stages of the match, Ken Tribbett scored the game-winner for the Dragons, a straight-on run in the 85'to steal the win for Drexel.
Tribbett has three goals for the Dragons this season, tying with Nathan Page for the team lead. Page has added three assists this season, giving him a team-high nine points.

Halos can't 'pen winning script in extras defeat
Rasmus serves up home run in 12th to spoil bullpen's solid work
BALTIMORE -- The Angels' bullpen finally cracked.
It happened in the 12th, after five consecutive scoreless innings in yet another tight game, when Cory Rasmus' breaking ball stayed up and Orioles third baseman Manny Machado blasted it over the left-field fence, good for the leadoff homer that dealt the Angels a 7-6, walk-off loss and snapped their three-game winning streak.
"We were an eyelash away from getting a lead in that game and holding it," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Their 'pen is terrific, our 'pen is terrific, and you're going to see some games like that from teams that have good bullpens."
The inning began with a two-out single from Albert Pujols, who moved to third on a double in the right-center-field gap by Josh Hamilton. But the next batter, Erick Aybar, lined out to first baseman Steve Pearce, capping an 0-for-6 night and paving the way for the Orioles' seventh consecutive win in extra innings.
"That's exactly what I thought about when he hit the ball and the walk-off happened," Hamilton said. "That's why we love the game."
Aybar's liner was hit in the wrong spot, the A's came back from being down by three in the ninth against the Astros, and in an instant, the Angels went from a half-game out of first to 2 1/2 back of Oakland in the American League West race.
Jered Weaver entered with only six earned runs in his last 23 innings, then gave up that many in the first four to set a season high. Five relievers from a vastly improved bullpen -- Mike Morin, Jason Grilli, Kevin Jepsen, Joe Smith and Rasmus -- limited the first-place Orioles to three baserunners from the start of the sixth to the end of the 11th, but their run ended with one swing in the 12th.
Rasmus came out for his second frame, his ERA at 1.90 in 23 2/3 innings, but his 1-2 breaking ball to the Orioles' young phenom sailed a little too high, and Machado turned it into his first career walk-off homer.
"Once I hit it, I knew it was out," Machado said.
"Obviously looking back on it, it would've been better in the dirt," Rasmus said. "But he had a good hack on it. That's what they get paid to do."
The Angels (63-42) are 6-5 to start the second half, and those 11 games have been decided by a total of 17 runs. The Orioles (59-46) have now won six of their last eight, including two of three at Angel Stadium last week, to keep their lead in the wide-open AL East at 2 1/2 games.
"Guys are doing it collectively," Hamilton said of the O's. "They have a great bullpen, their starting pitching has done well, they can pick it and play defense -- all the things needed to be a championship team."
The Angels have looked like a championship team ever since Grilli, Joe Thatcher and Huston Street joined a bullpen that entered third in the AL in July ERA and tied for first with the Orioles in WHIP.
They'll look even more like one if Hamilton can carry over what he displayed on Tuesday.
The cleanup hitter made it a one-run game with a solo homer in the fifth, his first since July 2, his fourth since coming off the disabled list on June 3 and his sixth on the year. He then tied it in the seventh on a two-out infield single off lefty Brian Matusz, beating out a throw from J.J. Hardy after the Orioles' shortstop initially tried for the force at second. Hamilton's 12th-inning double was his third hard-hit ball of the game, if you count a lineout to left earlier.
"That was great to see," Scioscia said, "and we need him."
Prior to Hamilton's double, Scioscia elected not to pinch-run for the slow-footed Pujols, even though he represented the potential go-ahead run and Street was ready to close out the bottom half. The Orioles were playing no-doubles defense, Scioscia said, and nobody "except maybe Mike Trout" was going to score on one hit.
"It was going to take two hits to score anybody, unless Josh hits one out of the park," Scioscia added. "It wasn't a great opportunity to steal, and I don't think there was anybody who was going to score on that ball."
So Scioscia pressed his luck, against a bullpen that was at home and had been just as dominant, and lived with the result.
It's easier to, when you know you have the relievers who will get it done on most nights.
"We had some opportunities," Scioscia said. "We couldn't get it done, but I'm proud of the way our guys got after it, especially the bullpen."

Tod's Omotesando
Toyo Ito & Associates
Tokyo, Japan
The facade of criss-crossed concrete braces reinterprets
the silhouettes of the elm trees lining the street.
The Tod's building, located on Omotesando, the famous tree-lined avenue in Tokyo's Aoyama district, is wrapped in a skin of criss-crossed concrete braces and glass that mimics the trees lining the street.
Light enters the building through the clear glass that fills the gaps between the concrete braces on the north side frontal facade. Opaque glass towards the south, facing rows of low private houses, brings additional daylight into the building.
The concrete braces also serve as space dividers inside the building where the natural materials, stone, wood and leather, reflect the quality of Tod's leather goods.
The top floor serves as a boardroom with a terraced roof garden.
When the spaces between the braces are lit from within at night it creates the effect of silhouetted tree branches.
Despite this apparent minimalism, Tod's displays none of the sombreness and intellectual snobbery that typifies much contemporary retail architecture. There is a lightness of touch with Ito, a humour, and far greater sense of the drama of shopping./The Guardian
The branching design was based on Ito's Serpentine Gallery Pavilion (2002) in London.
Toyo Ito was announced as the 2006 winner of one of architecture's most prestigious prizes, the Royal Gold Medal.
Ito will be presented with the Royal Gold Medal at the RIBA on 15 February 2006.
Toyo Ito has been an inspiration for generations of architects worldwide since his work started to receive international acclaim in the 1970s. For thirty years he has been a leading figure in architecture and I am delighted that he has accepted the Royal Gold Medal./Jack Pringle, RIBA President

SAINT LEO, Fla. - The Saint Leo men's basketball team shot 51 percent from the field and rebounded from a 36-31 halftime deficit to defeat visiting Southeastern University (Fla.) 64-53 in the Lions' season opener at home on Friday night from a rowdy Bowman Center.
In his first game as the Lions' leader, Head Coach Lance Randall and nearly an entirely new lineup jumped out to a hot start in the early moments of the contest, taking as much as a nine point lead before the second media break. Keeping the crowd pumped with their up-tempo pace, the Lions drained four 3-pointers in the first 20 minutes, but it would be a scoring drought to close the half that allowed the visitors from Lakeland, Fla. back into the game.
Leading 25-19 with six minutes left in the first stanza, the Lions (1-0) would only bucket six points for the remainder of the half. It was a drought where the Fire developed the hot hand, scoring 17 points and taking a 36-31 lead into the lockers.
A back-and-forth game greeted the teams out of the half as the Lions wasted little time closing the gap, reclaiming the lead with 16 minutes left. As the minutes ticked down, the Lions used their preseason training to push past Southeastern (4-1) with a 14-4 run over five minutes to take control.
Saint Leo would close out the game jumping out to as much as a 14 point lead before the final horn sounded.
All the stars for Saint Leo were new faces in the Green and Gold as Trent Thomas went 7-for-9 from the field and scored a game-high 19 points to lead the Lions. Marcus Ruh added 15 and Tom Neary also chimed in with 14 points. Defensively, Shaun Adams pulled down 11 boards and had a block to captain a squad that kept the visitors to under 40 percent shooting.
As a team, the Lions went 23-for-45 (51.1%) from the field and 46.2 percent (6-of-13) from behind the three-point line. The Lions managed 26 points from the reserves, led by Thomas' effort.
The visiting Fire saw Dwayne Johnson and Chris Carlyle both score 11 points in the loss.
Saint Leo continues the tough opening schedule as it hosts Southern Poly Tech (#20 NAIA) on Saturday afternoon. Tip is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Bowman Center. For the latest news, information, and updates on Lions Men's Basketball and all other Saint Leo Athletics, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/8/2013 (1462 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BOISE, Idaho -- Fire managers expressed optimism Sunday in their battle against a wildfire that has scorched nearly 414 square kilometres and forced the evacuation of 2,300 homes near the central Idaho resort communities of Ketchum and Sun Valley.
Officials said the blaze had grown only about 31 sq. km. because of cloud cover the day before and the arrival of additional crews and equipment. Many firefighters worked Sunday to create protective firebreaks, or gaps in vegetation aimed at stopping the fire's progress.
"Today they're very optimistic that we will reinforce those lines in case the fire does flare up as we saw on Thursday and Friday," fire spokeswoman Shawna Hartman said.
More than 1,200 people and 19 aircraft are now battling the lightning-caused Beaver Creek Fire, which started Aug. 7 and is nine per cent contained. Nearly 90 fire engines also are in the region, many protecting homes in the affluent area where celebrities such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis own pricey getaways.
Hartman said Sunday retardant was being dropped on the flank of Bald Mountain -- the Sun Valley Resort's primary ski hill -- to reinforce a fire line. That meant the famed ski mountain known as "Baldy" and often used in publicity photos would have a red line of retardant visible from Ketchum.
Hartman said the drop was part of a plan by fire managers to bolster protection for the tony resort town. But he noted the fire had not yet reached the mountain.
Fire managers said both of the nation's DC-10 retardant bombers have been used to battle the blaze, but one experienced an engine malfunction after a drop Thursday. The jet made it back safely to Pocatello in southeastern Idaho but remains unavailable.
Hartman said most of the fire's containment is on the south and west sides. The more populated areas are on its eastern side and are where the mandatory evacuations are in place.
Blaine County spokeswoman Bronwyn Nickel said Idaho National Guard soldiers are manning checkpoints at evacuated neighbourhoods and helping relieve local law enforcement officers. The Blaine County Sheriff's Office is warning evacuated residents not to return until notified it's safe to do so.
No structures have been destroyed since a house and outbuildings burned Thursday, officials said. On the fire line, a few minor injuries have been reported.
Authorities have told Ketchum and Sun Valley residents to be ready to evacuate if necessary. About 2,700 people live in Ketchum, 1,400 in Sun Valley.
Elsewhere in the West, the last evacuation orders were scheduled to be lifted Monday after a series of mountain fires burned more than a dozen homes in Utah.
More than 100 residents who were forced to leave Rockport Estates and Rockport Ranches, about 73 km east of Salt Lake City, will be allowed to return in the morning.
Among them are family members of a couple who got married over the weekend in a backup ceremony at a century-old church after they had to flee their original venue with the bride's wedding dress.
Tawni Sprouce and Travis Mann planned to exchange their vows at her parents' home overlooking Rockport Reservoir. But the residence was among the scores evacuated after the lightning-sparked Rockport fire burned nearly 810 hectares.
First, the couple moved the wedding to a campsite at Rockport State Park near the community of Waneship. But rain then pushed the ceremony inside the park's Old Church.
Mann said that given the circumstances, the couple welcomed the moisture. He said Saturday's ceremony eventually went off without a hitch.
Fire officials said Sunday the Rockport fire was 70 per cent contained.
Utah's biggest blaze, the Patch Springs Fire, was estimated at 129 sq. km and 25 per cent contained Sunday.
Evacuation orders have been lifted for that fire, which burned 10 homes near Willow Springs on Friday. But a portion of State Highway 199 remained closed.

Since the admin recently said he is jumping back into the forum and forum made in python. I have begun thinking of cool features again for python forum software.
Basically the idea is the same as Facebooks, edit concept. When you edit a post, every friend can see the previously edited posts, but the latest is what is showed. The only way to remove the edited version is to completely remove the post and start again. In facebook i find the feature pointless and annoying (because i have butter fingers making typos a lot), but on a forum i could see how it might be quite usefull.
Reading a post, i came across a post that didnt make sense. My only conclusion was that the poster changed the code after realizing the mistake, but not mentioning it. Dont know for sure though. Thus my thought of facebooks edit feature that would prevent things like this.
I dont think there is anything like this for hte free forums. So in that case could only be implemented with our own forum software.
Just a thought

Fast Kash
Kashakomin (a.k.a Kash) was jogging in the park, as he did every morning. The morning had been quite uneventful. That was, until he ran past a man sitting on a bench.
On hearing Kash's footsteps, the man looked up. "How would you like to win a little money?" asked the man.
"What do you mean?" asked Kash.
"Just come over here," said the man.
Now, Kash, never liking to turn down an opportunity to win some more 'kash', walked over to the bench.
The man placed seven matchsticks on the bench to form an 8.
"Now, if you can move just one match, can you leave just one square? There can be no leftover lines."
"What? That's ridiculous," said Kash.
But after working on the puzzle for half an hour, Kash finally got the answer, and managed to win a little 'kash' to add to his collection. Can you?
AnswerKash simply moved the matchstick on the bottom left hand side to leave the number 9. The number 9 is a 'square' - it's 3 squared!

Citizenship & Beyond
Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White recently announced that the Melrose Park Public Library was awarded a Fiscal Year 2014 "Another Opportunity for Back 2 Books" grant for the MPPL project titled Citizenship and Beyond. Grant funds will be used to purchase adult and juvenile titles in English, Spanish, and Polish to help immigrants achieve US Citizenship and get started as new Americans. All these materials are available in the new Everyday Life Collection at the Melrose Park Public Library.
Funding for this grant was awarded by the Illinois State Library, a Department of the Office of Secretary of State, using funds provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services, under the provisions of theLibrary Services and Technology Act (LSTA)

Back in 2011, when the biggest thing going on in England was the Royal Wedding, we got to thinking: How could we properly commemorate a year in which we'd be watching the Summer Olympics and voting in a presidential election? What collection of dishes would scream Americana and help us champion our national pride? We turned to our Kitchens, tapping into their culinary prowess and vast research library to help us define the full breadth of American cuisine. Soon we realized that each of our 50 states has its own unique and quirky food scene. How were we to choose the best eats from sea to shining sea?
But then it became clear: We didn't need the best dishes in America (we've got Jeffrey Saad to help us with that), but the most distinctive. What one dish defines each state, we wondered? So we turned to you, our fans and resident state experts, to tell us about your state's most iconic dishes. And tell us, you did, taking to Facebook, Twitter and commenting on Devour to show us how passionate you are about your local staples.
Armed with our list of 50, we asked the Kitchens to re-create the voted-upon dishes — and that's when things got fun. This was no ordinary list; sure, there were some staples like peach pie, French fries and clam chowder, but there were also recipes with interesting names (Funeral Potatoes?) and some foods most of has had never heard of, like Lefse, Chislic and Salmon Candy (salmon WHAT?). Our chefs were challenged with the task of researching and writing recipes for these regional specialties, doing their best to replicate local flavors. Over the course of two weeks, they would prepare the recipes and set them out for tasting (called "development"), and then prepare one, two or even three revisions incorporating the testers' feedback (called "cross-testing").
From the first spoonful of Chile Verde to the final slice of Mississippi Mud Pie (and yes, there were several), participating in this project was nothing short of an adventure. We scored some insider chef tips ("chimichangas are great for breakfast the next day, when the flavors have melded") and learned some smart substitutes (Can't find huckleberries? Blueberries will do.). We discovered that pork roll is not a sandwich, but a cured meat that's then tucked into a sandwich and that there is nothing somber about Funeral Potatoes (they are a positively delightful cornflake-topped cheesy potato casserole).
Once the recipes were developed, tested, cross-tested and tied with a bow, 52 dishes (one for D.C. and a traditional election year-themed cake) were prettied for their glamour shots. Some recipes were photographed more artfully (salty-sweet salmon candy balanced atop pink sea salt blocks) while others were shot to illustrate the way state natives might consume them: Nebraska meat pies on a fast-food tray, lobster rolls on a seaside picnic bench. When all the shots were completed, they were displayed for all to admire: beautiful, delicious photographs tacked to a bulletin board in rows.
Want to go deeper behind the scenes? See all our pictures of this project, from start to finish.
Then, check out Across the Country in 50 State Dishes for all the recipes and the stories behind them.

Hi, can you help me please to enlighten my mind what is the difference of this two "UNIQUE" and "INDEX" in MySQL,can you please give some little example so that i can understand thoroughly.and also when to use this "UNIQUE" and "INDEX" in my tables.
Thank you in advance
I'm sure Rudy will shoot me down if my answer is incomplete, but essentially...
index is simply a means to look up specific rows on a table. Using an index saves the database from having to search each and every row individually. Think of it like an index in the back of a text book. You can use the index at the back of the book to look for a specific topic and find it easily without having to page each and every page to find it.
unique is used when you want to have a value exist exactly once in a column. It allows you to identify individual rows on a table.
If you're of a type that documentation makes sense to you, you can refer to the mySQL page specifically....http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-index.html
Hi Jem,
Community->Member List
Take a look at the above link and do an advanced search for Jem.
A popup box should appear showing numerous members names beginning with Jem. You will notice that there is an alphabetical INDEX on the members names but only one UNIQUE (oxymoron occurrence of a member's name.
na, man, nice job
confusion might arise from the fact that a unique constraint is actually implemented as a unique index -- so if you declare a column as UNIQUE, you do ~not~ need an additional index on it
True......if something is defined is unique, it's an index by default. But an index does not have to be unique.
HI ,I have question but if we have primary key,..I know primary key is unique, so i don't need anymore to add "unique index" on my table?...sorry i am confuse on this...please correct me if i am wrong...:)
Correct, unless there is a non-identifying field that you would for some off reason want one and only one value of.
An example would be a table of users. The primary key would identify each individual record. Now, if for some odd reason, your customer decides they only want one person from each town, you would put a unique index on the town field. From a semantic perspective, you don't want to make this the primary key because the table is dealing with users, so you declare an extra unique index.
definitely not on the same column(s)
but you can also declare a unique index on a different column
for example, a table of users which has an auto_increment primary key, but you also want to ensure that no two users have the same name, so you declare a unique index on the name
yes, you could use the name as the primary key, but because users are referenced in many many tables (e.g. last_updated_by columns), you would prefer to use the 4-byte integer as the foreign key
HI @DaveMaxwell and @r937, Thank you for helping me...
For completeness sake I'd like to add that it possible to add an index or a unique index to multiple columns at once. So if you want to allow multiple users with the same username but only if they have different email addresses for example you can add a unique index to (username, email). That way the combination of the username and email have to be unique, not the columns themselves.

Really agressive shortboarders who are surfing like they have something to prove. You can just tell by the way they paddle and get all big and have that look.
Or people who get all agressive and paddle for a wave only to back off last minute. Many waves wasted by people calling you off then bailing. If I see a guy blow a wave once or twice he cant be trusted with a good wave hell probably waste another one. There arent that many good waves and its sick when people get good rides but when they fall on every wave thats it for them.

As I said, I write in my conscripts so nobody can understand that, so I don't even bother to.
I tried, but people just thought I was crazy.
Back in El Salvador when I was 12 years old, a couple of classmates did become interested in one of my conscripts, so I taught it to them and sometimes even wrote a bit among ourselves in it now and then. But I didn't really tried to convince them to learn it or anything.

Final Results (PDF)
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Penn men's swimming team ended the Ivy League Championships in sixth place on Saturday, ending the night with three more new school records and upping the team's total to nine for the Championships. Freshman Chris Swanson won the title in the 1650 Freestyle, becoming the first Quaker since Brendan McHugh in 2011 to win an individual event.
In the first race of the night, Swanson shaved nearly 14 seconds off the previous Penn record in the 1650, submitting a time of 15:02.11 to win the race by nearly seven seconds against Yale's Rob Harder, avenging close finishes against Harder in the 500 and 1000 Freestyles. Stephen Carroll came in eighth in the race with a time of 15:22.80.
Later on, Alex Porter broke Penn's school mark in the 100 Freestyle with a time of 44.79 to finish 14th. It was a record that didn't last long, however, as Dillon McHugh later swam a time of 44.70 as the opening leg of the 400 Freestyle Relay.
With McHugh getting the 400 Free Relay team off to that blazing start, John Germanis, Porter and Rhoads Worster combined to close out the race in 2:58.48, Penn's final new school record of the Championships.
Other top finishers on the night for the Quakers were McHugh in the 200 Backstroke (1:48.17, 14th overall), Kyle Yu in the 200 Breaststroke (1:59.14, fifth overall) and Worster (1:49.43, 12th overall) in the 200 Butterfly.

THE man who fell to his death from a North Yorkshire cliff has been named by police as Malcolm Hall.
Mr Hall, 51, from Skelton near Saltburn, fell from cliffs at Kettleness near Runswick Bay on Friday while collecting Whitby jet from the coastline.
Mr Hall's family said they were "devastated by the sudden and tragic death", in a statement released today.
It said: "Not only have we lost a son, brother, dad, granddad and uncle, we have also lost a friend who loved his family dearly and was always there for us whenever we needed him, no matter what.
"It is a small comfort to us knowing that Mac died doing something that he loved.
"He will be terribly missed by us and his wide circle of friends who we would like to thank for their kind words of comfort, love and support."
A man in his twenties was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following Mr Hall's death, and has since been released on bail.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Computer crooks have found a way to target us on search engines and since we can google anything from anywhere, it's time to be aware of what cyber criminals are up to now.
Jim McGrath says his computer was recently held for ransom. While he was searching online, his PC froze and then a warning popped up demanding he pay $60 for a program to get rid of a virus.
"I felt I was being scammed into buying a virus program that I didn't need because I already had virus programs and I couldn't even run a scan on my own virus program," said McGrath.
Experts say McGrath was hit by the new "ransom-ware" scheme, and it's just one way you could be attacked.
Cyber crooks have figured out how to manipulate search engines so their "poisonous" web links pop up in your results. Click on that malicious link and malware or viruses invade. Users will be infected and won't even know it.
Blue coat computer security's analysis found "search engine poisoning" attacks mounting.
In fact, we are now three times more likely to get a tainted link from a search engine than from an email.
"People do trust the search engines and they are predisposed to click on whatever they see in the results, and because they're not aware it could be dangerous this turns out to be a very effective attack for the bad guys," said Chris Larsen of Blue Coat Computer Security.
Blue coat found bad guys usually try to lure you in when you search common topics like health and medical information, samples of business letters and seasonal searches, like holiday recipes, decorations or costume ideas.
Local 6 contacted some of the major search engines:
- Google told us they have "built and refined tools over many years to keep malicious content out of our search results."
- Bing says they are "actively working on new filtering techniques for image searches where the majority of these malicious links were found."
Like many of us, McGrath isn't sure what he clicked on to launch the ransom ware.
While he removed the software from his PC, he wonders if it's still lurking behind the scenes.
"I worry that they still may have access to my computer," said McGrath.
Here are a few tips to help you avoid poisoned links:
- Look at web site address endings: "dot-com's" and "dot-net's" are usually safe.
- But if it ends in something you've never heard of, like "dot cx" or "dot tf" you may want to avoid those.
- And if the text under the link looks garbled don't click on it.

It's more than just alliteration; it's a statement, a proclamation that Thursdays are when the weekend should really start. Kicking it off right is the key, and what better way than with a cocktail that not only takes the edge off, but tastes good too. A hard thing to disagree with, we know. Drink up, get down and go to sleep happy.
Celebrate the end of a long day, beginning of a great weekend and start of something new — your imminent addiction to this French Margarita. This Saturday is French National Day — otherwise known as Bastille Day, the perfect time to meet one of our favorite fancied-up summer drinks. If you relish in the occasional tequila-based cocktail, wait 'til you taste what Grand Marnier and Chambord bring to the party.
Bottoms up, folks.

Fill a margarita glass with ice, then pour the mixture into the glass, using a strainer to keep the ice out of the glass. Top with Chambord. Garnish with a skewer of two blackberries and one raspberry (or vice versa).

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Oxymoron? I think I wash my clothes with that"
Chemical Formula:
Oxymoron is a compound produced as a by-product when a moron is oxidized. When inhaled in large quantities, oxymoron causes idiocy in a large group of people, which spreads quickly. This tends to happen during elections, scientific conventions, sporting events, or on nightclub dance floors.
Oxymoron is a covalent molecule. It has strong intramolecular forces by which the affected moron resists change. In contrast, "The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep."
Oxymorons come in various strengths. Oxy-5 and Oxy-10 are the best for persistent skin problems. Industrial-strength oxymorons exist in abundance.
edit Industrial uses
Corporations arrange morons in large farms named offices. A large ventilation system provides an abundance of oxygen and induces the production of oxymorons. The resulting oxymorons can be made into software, marketing, political propaganda, and other bullshit.
The quality of oxymoron is directly proportional to the quantity of morons processed. This is especially true during meetings and brainstorms. By-products of these reactions are buzzwords and slogans.
edit Homemade oxymoron
Although not as potent as oxymorons obtained through industrial refinement, one can create the compound with amateur equipment such as pornography, religion, and World of Warcraft.
Simply place your person of lower than average intelligence (pictured) in a well-ventilated room with a toilet, food and one or more of the above ingredients. Lock the door to prevent any contaminants such as culture or opinions. Leave for a week. Be careful when handling your freshly baked oxymoron and enjoy.
edit History
Billy Mays invented the oxymoron. Determined to get every person to use OxiClean, Mays used his utter genius to make the new product famous overnight. Now everyone uses it, without even knowing it. Thinking OxiClean was cocaine, Billy overdosed on it during his commercials and was mourned nationally by a presidential dictate that required that all coin operated laundries fly their flags at half mast. Billy is known as a the first true oxymoron. His grave site, a giant wash board, attracts thousands of rabid house wives each year.
There have been many heroic efforts by individuals and groups to clean up the many spills of oxymorons but these have been largely unsuccessful and led, indirectly, to the Darwin Awards.
Scientologists make use of the substance to attract converts (and, in some cases, convicts).
edit Other oxymorons
The following are examples of well-known oxymorons:
- The town of Freedom, Maine
- Great Britain, where one can get a Full English breakfast
- Microsoft Works
- Military Intelligence
- Vacation Bible school
There is also the annoying practice of American insurance companies of referring to the man who sold you your policy as the insurance "producer."
They say that Federal Screw Works is an oxymoron and a redundancy at the same time.
"Oxymoron" also refers to a scrapyard worker who has enough intelligence to light an oxyacetylene torch and to cut up metal objects with it, and no more.
