Effective Date: July 26, 2017
These Terms of Use apply to your access to, and participation in, the Starbucks Rewards program ("Starbucks Rewards") which is operated by Starbucks Corporation, or its respective subsidiaries, licensees and affiliated companies (collectively, "Starbucks") in Washington D.C., the fifty (50) United States of America, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. These Terms of Use do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Starbucks for other products and services, such as Starbucks Cards. Starbucks reserves the right to change, modify and/or eliminate Starbucks Rewards and/or all or any portion of these Terms of Use or any policy, FAQ, or guideline pertaining to Starbucks Rewards at any time and in its sole discretion. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the revisions to www.starbucks.com, and you waive any right you may have to receive specific notice of such changes or modifications. Your participation in Starbucks Rewards confirms your acceptance of these Terms of Use and any such changes or modifications; therefore, you should review these Terms of Use and applicable policies and FAQs frequently to understand the terms and conditions that apply to Starbucks Rewards. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use, you must stop participating in Starbucks Rewards.
The Starbucks Rewards program is intended for personal use only. Commercial use is prohibited. This program is not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 13. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18, you may only use Starbucks Rewards under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Please read the Privacy Statement carefully to understand how Starbucks collects, uses and discloses information about customers and how to update or change your personal information and how we communicate with you.
Starbucks Rewards is one way in which Starbucks endeavors to reward and thank loyal customers for patronizing our business, and purchasing Starbucks®, Teavana®, and Evolution Fresh™ products. Members of Starbucks Rewards are able to earn and accumulate "Stars" that can be redeemed for Starbucks Rewards benefits, also known as "Rewards," at participating Starbucks® and Teavana® stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, not all stores have the ability to award Stars or honor Rewards at this time. Visit the Store Locator at http://www.starbucks.com/store-locator to find the location nearest you where you can earn Stars or redeem Rewards.
There are four (4) ways to enroll in Starbucks Rewards and begin accumulating Stars:
- If you have a physical Starbucks Card, or Starbucks Card eGift, visit www.starbucks.com/rewards. Follow the prompts to create an account and register at least one (1) physical Starbucks Card, or Starbucks Card eGift. Unless otherwise stated, the minimum balance required to activate a physical Starbucks Card, or Starbucks Card eGift is Five Dollars ($5.00).
- Download the Starbucks mobile app to your Android™ or iPhone® device. Follow the prompts to create a Starbucks Rewards account and register a digital Starbucks Card.
- Purchase a qualifying Starbucks® product from a participating grocery retailer and either (a) enter the Star code located on, or if indicated, inside the packaging at www.starbucks.com/rewards, or, if applicable, (b) submit a photo of your valid receipt confirming your purchase of qualifying products at www.starbucks-stars.com. Follow the prompts to create a Starbucks Rewards account and select a Starbucks Card.
- Join Starbucks Rewards through a special promotion, membership or other program that may be offered by Starbucks and/or our business partners or affiliates. There may be additional terms and conditions applicable to these offers and programs, so please read them carefully.
Starbucks Cards may include: physical Starbucks and Teavana plastic cards that are available for sale from participating Starbucks and Teavana stores, and also sold from other retail locations (for example, gift card "malls" or kiosks); digital forms of the physical cards that are available through the Starbucks mobile app; and Starbucks Card eGifts that can be purchased at www.starbucks.com/shop/card/egift. For more information about Starbucks Cards, please visit www.starbucks.com/card.
The registration process may require that you provide the following information: username, password, email address (required in order to receive all eligible Rewards), physical address, telephone number, Starbucks Card number, and card security code (CSC), birthday, name, and marketing preferences. All of your Starbucks Cards can be activated and registered for use in Starbucks Rewards, but you may only have one (1) account that is personal to you.
If you change your account address to one that is not located within Washington D.C., the fifty (50) United States, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, your Starbucks Cards will continue to function, but your account will be inactivated. You will no longer be able to earn Stars or receive or redeem benefits under your U.S. Starbucks Rewards account. Previously earned Stars may expire as described below.
The benefits that are available to you through Starbucks Rewards are based on the number of "Stars" that you earn. You can earn Stars by making purchases using any Starbucks Card registered to your Starbucks Rewards account to pay at participating Starbucks and Teavana stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and on store.starbucks.com and teavana.com.
You will earn Stars based on the value of your purchase at the rate of two (2) Stars for each One Dollar ($1.00) you spend at participating Starbucks stores using your registered Starbucks Card. If you are a Starbucks partner (employee), you will earn Stars at the rate of three (3) Stars for each One Dollar ($1.00) you spend using any registered Starbucks Card so long as you have registered your "partner" Starbucks Card to the same Starbucks Rewards account. Some exclusions apply. For example, you cannot earn Stars on purchases of alcoholic beverages or on Starbucks Cards (including activations, reloads, transfers, or any other card-to-card transaction). Taxes, tips, donations, and fees, including without limitation, shipping and handling fees, gift wrapping fees, delivery fees, and bag fees, may also be excluded and ineligible for Star accrual. Stars may be earned and awarded in fractional amounts depending on the value of your purchase. If your account is established in the U.S., any purchase made using your registered Starbucks Card at participating stores in Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom or Ireland, will earn Stars as if the currency were expressed in U.S. Dollars. No currency exchange is applied to the value of your purchase for the purpose of determining how many Stars you have earned. For example, if the value of your purchase is One Canadian Dollar or One Pound (United Kingdom), you will earn two (2) Stars.
Generally, Stars for qualifying purchases from participating stores are automatically added to your account within twenty-four (24) hours. Stars for qualifying purchases from store.starbucks.com and teavana.com are typically added to your account within twenty-four (24) hours after your order ships. From time to time, we, or others acting with our permission, may offer you special promotions that offer you "Promotional Stars." Promotional Stars, such as "bonus" Stars, will be awarded as described in the applicable promotional offer and will be subject to any additional terms set forth in the promotional offer.
You can also earn Stars by entering Star codes at starbucks.com/rewards. Star codes may be found on or inside specially marked packages of Starbucks branded products sold by other retailers such as grocery stores, and may, from time to time, be distributed through promotional materials. The amount of Stars awarded using Star codes may vary by product and price. You can redeem a maximum of 91 Star codes per calendar year. Certain other limitations may apply to Star codes. For example, there may be a limit on the number of Star codes that you can enter on a daily basis, and Star codes have expiration dates. Check the product packaging and/or promotional materials for specific restrictions applicable to a particular Star code.
You may also earn Stars through receipt verification when you purchase qualifying Starbucks products from participating retailers and submit a photo of your receipt at www.starbucks-stars.com. To earn Stars through receipt verification, you must comply with the Starbucks Rewards Receipt Verification Terms & Conditions . Certain limitations may apply to the receipt verification program. For example, you are not eligible to earn Stars on receipts from online retailers. Visit www.starbucks-stars.com for more information.
Eligible customers may also earn Stars through participation in programs offered by our business partners. Starbucks does not operate and is not responsible for these programs, which have separate and additional terms and conditions governing how Stars may be earned.
If you void a purchase made with your registered Starbucks Card, Starbucks will deduct the Stars that you were awarded for that purchase, potentially resulting in a negative Star balance on your account. If you return merchandise or packaged coffee, food and tea that you purchased with your registered Starbucks Card (note: an original receipt or gift receipt is required), your funds will be returned to you on a Starbucks or Teavana store credit card, but Starbucks will not deduct Stars from your account. Starbucks or Teavana store credit cards may be used in any participating Starbucks or Teavana store, but they are not Starbucks Cards. For example, store credit cards do not accrue Stars and cannot be registered or reloaded for additional value.
If you use multiple forms of payment in one transaction, such as cash, credit card, or an unregistered Starbucks Card, the registered Starbucks Card that you use will be awarded a prorated number of Stars based on the eligible purchase amount that was applied to your registered Starbucks Card.
Currently, there are two (2) levels of benefits within Starbucks Rewards that are determined by the number of Stars that you accumulate in your account each year. By opening an account and registering a Starbucks Card, you will be automatically enrolled in Starbucks Rewards at the Green Level. If you earn at least three hundred (300) Stars within the twelve (12) month period following your enrollment date, you will qualify for the Gold Level.
Once you reach a specific level within Starbucks Rewards, you will receive the benefits that are applicable to that level at that time. However, you must continue to earn and accumulate Stars in order to maintain your benefit level.
To maintain all benefits of the Green Level, you must earn at least one (1) new Star during each consecutive 12-month period following your enrollment date. If you do not earn at least one (1) new Star in each 12-month period, your Star balance will automatically reset to zero (0) and you may no longer be eligible to receive Starbucks Rewards benefits. If you do not earn at least three hundred (300) new Stars in each consecutive 12-month period, your Stars will expire and your Star balance will automatically reset to zero (0).
To maintain the Gold Level, you must earn at least three hundred (300) new Stars during each consecutive 12-month period following the date you reached the Gold Level. If you do not earn 300 new Stars in 12 months, you will be placed at the Green Level of Starbucks Rewards and your Star balance will automatically reset to zero (0). If you fail to requalify for the Gold Level, and you have between 125 and 299 Stars in your account, Starbucks will add one (1) free food or drink Reward onto your account (subject to the Gold Level exclusions and restrictions described below). This Reward will be loaded onto your account on your requalification date and will be available for you to use at participating stores for a period of thirty (30) days. If you have provided Starbucks with a current, valid email address, you will receive an email from Starbucks approximately twenty-four (24) hours after the coupon is loaded to your account indicating that your Reward is available to you.
You can view and track your Star balance and available Rewards on www.starbucks.com/account or by using the Starbucks mobile app. Starbucks reserves the right to change the number of benefit levels and to change the benefits and Rewards associated with each level in its sole discretion at any time.
By registering your Starbucks Card, you are automatically entered into the "Green Level" of Starbucks Rewards. Rewards may include:
- Birthday Reward. You will receive one (1) complimentary food or beverage item as described below:
- Available at participating Starbucks stores – your choice of one (1) complimentary handcrafted beverage, OR one (1) complimentary food item, OR one (1) complimentary ready-to-drink bottled beverage such as an Evolution Fresh juice; OR
- Available at participating Teavana stores - one (1) complimentary tea beverage (standard Teavana menu sizes only), OR a complimentary 1-ounce serving of loose leaf tea; OR
The complimentary birthday Reward may be redeemed at participating stores and excludes: multi-serving food or beverage items (for example, a tray of Cranberry Bliss Bars or coffee press); and beverages that contain alcohol (for example, at Starbucks Roastery locations).
To qualify for the birthday Reward, you must join Starbucks Rewards at least seven (7) days before your birthday. Your complimentary birthday Reward will be automatically added to your account approximately two (2) days prior to your birthday. The offer for the free birthday Reward expires the day after your birthday. You must present your registered Starbucks Card to the barista at a participating store in order to redeem your Reward and receive your complimentary birthday item. You will receive only one (1) birthday Reward regardless of the number of Starbucks Cards that you have registered to your account.
If you have provided Starbucks with a current, valid email address, you will receive a reminder email from Starbucks approximately one (1) to two (2) days prior to your birthday (that is, the birthday date of record that you provided in your Starbucks account information) indicating that your Reward is available to you. You can check to see if your birthday Reward is available by accessing your Starbucks Rewards account on www.starbucks.com/account or on the Starbucks mobile app.
Your birthday Reward email notification will also include a coupon code for 15% off the retail price of a single item at store.starbucks.com. This coupon code will expire after thirty (30) days and cannot be combined with other offers or discounts. Some restrictions may apply.
After you earn three hundred (300) Stars in a 12-month period, you reach the "Gold Level" and your Star balance is reset to zero (0). Any Stars, including fractional Stars, earned after reaching the Gold Level expire six (6) months after the calendar month in which they earned. For example, if you earn Stars on May 5, 2017, they will expire on December 1, 2017. Gold Level Rewards may include:
- Green Level Rewards.
- A personalized gold colored Starbucks Card. In order to receive your personalized Starbucks Card, you must provide a valid physical mailing address in the U.S. or Puerto Rico. You can update your address by logging into your account at www.starbucks.com/account. If you do not provide a valid physical mailing address, Starbucks will not be able to send you a personalized card. Processing and shipping time is approximately four to six weeks. You do not need to use your gold Starbucks Card to receive Gold Level benefits – you may use any Starbucks Card registered to your account. If you fail to maintain your Gold Level status, you may continue to use your personalized gold colored Starbucks Card, but it will not convey any Gold Level benefits until you earn enough Stars to reach the Gold Level again.
- One (1) free drink or food item after every one hundred twenty-five (125) additional Stars earned after reaching the Gold Level. You can redeem 125 Stars for one (1) free food or beverage item after every 125 additional Stars earned above the three hundred (300) Stars you needed to reach the Gold Level:
- Available at participating Starbucks stores – your choice of one (1) complimentary handcrafted beverage, OR one (1) complimentary food item, OR one (1) complimentary ready-to-drink bottled beverage such as an Evolution Fresh juice; OR
- Available at participating Teavana stores - one (1) complimentary tea beverage (standard Teavana menu sizes only), OR a complimentary 1-ounce serving of loose leaf tea; OR
You must present your registered Starbucks Card to the barista at a participating Starbucks or Teavana store in order to receive your complimentary item. You will receive only one (1) complimentary item regardless of the number of Starbucks Cards that you have registered to your account.
The complimentary food or beverage item may be redeemed at participating stores and excludes: multi-serving food or beverage items (for example, a tray of Cranberry Bliss Bars or a coffee press); and beverages that contain alcohol (for example, at Starbucks Roastery locations).
If you have provided Starbucks with a current, valid email address, you will receive a reminder email from Starbucks approximately twenty-four (24) hours after earning your 125th additional Star indicating that your Reward is available to you. Remember to redeem your Reward at a participating store before your Stars expire. The Stars that you earn after reaching the Gold Level – including fractional Stars - expire six (6) months after the calendar month in which they are earned. You can view and track your Star balance on www.starbucks.com/account or by using the Starbucks mobile app.
These Starbucks Rewards Terms of Use complement and incorporate by reference the Starbucks Card Terms and Conditions. In the event of any conflict between the Starbucks Card Terms and Conditions and these Starbucks Rewards Terms of Use, the Starbucks Card Terms and Conditions control.
There are no membership fees associated with Starbucks Rewards. Stars accumulated under the program are promotional and have no cash value.
Your Stars, Rewards, registered Starbucks Cards, and your account under Starbucks Rewards are personal to you and may not be sold, transferred or assigned to, or shared with, family, friends or others, or used by you for any commercial purpose. You may have only one (1) Starbucks Rewards account that is personal to you.
Without notice to you, Starbucks reserves the right to suspend any Starbucks Card and/or terminate your account and/or your participation in Starbucks Rewards if Starbucks determines in its sole discretion that you have violated these Terms of Use, you have more than one (1) account, or that the use of your account is unauthorized, deceptive, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful. Starbucks may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel or combine accounts that appear to be duplicative. In the event that your participation in Starbucks Rewards is terminated, then all accumulated Stars in your account are void.
Without notice to you, Starbucks also reserves the right to "unregister" and make ineligible for the Starbucks Rewards program any Starbucks Card or account that has been inactive for two (2) consecutive years. Inactive is defined as no Stars earned. In the event that your Starbucks Card or account is unregistered or rendered inactive, then all accumulated Stars in your account are void.
Starbucks reserves the right to terminate, discontinue or cancel the Starbucks Rewards program at any time and in its sole discretion without notice to you.

text: Politics 5 February 1999 The "honest" man from accounts was selling class A drugs in the smoking room Sign up for our weekly email * "Look, I don't want to interfere with anyone's drinking, especially Mike Hedgett's, but I'd just like to say a few words about why we're gathered here in the basement of Vesuvio's. As you all know, Jeff is leaving us next Friday and you don't need me to remind you that the department will be a poorer place without him. I know I'll not only miss his professionalism but also all those Monday morning chats about his beloved West Bromwich Albion which were such a fine example of the triumph of hope over experience. So may I ask you all to raise your glasses and wish Jeff the very best in the new post he will shortly be taking up in Wales." I won't pretend my farewell speech to Jeff Gratton last week was exemplary. Anyone who could hear what I had to say over the clatter of waiters clearing away the tiramisu plates would recognise that it was somewhat cursory. But such listeners would also be busy making allowances. They'd know that, as on so many other similar occasions, I was only doing the honours because after days of strenuous effort, no one else could be found to do the job. And they'd also acknowledge that I could hardly go into graphic detail about the contribution Jeff had made when he'd only been with us for nine weeks, and that too much concentration on his "new post in Wales" would only emphasise that it was even more precarious in nature than the one he was currently vacating. Although I haven't kept a careful record, I'd estimate that the new short-termism in employment practice has meant that I participate in approximately 25 leaving parties every year and that at a quarter of these I'm either the leading speaker or play some such ancillary role as leading the cheers or ceremonially handing over a present with sufficiently elaborate wrapping to suggest that it cost rather more than the modest £12 that had been arm-wrestled from unwilling subscribers over the previous fortnight. Part of the reason for my leading role on such occasions is that I'm regarded as a safe pair of hands. There was, of course, the unfortunate evening two years ago when I made an emotional speech about how everyone would miss Jane Marriott and her misplaced enthusiasm for Arsenal and then promptly handed over her leaving present to an eager-looking person in the front row of the crowd who turned out to be a sixth-former on work experience called Helen Chatterton. And those with a particularly long memory might also want to drag up the time I repeatedly described a departing Chelsea supporter from accounts as "honest in all his dealings", only to learn later that he had been supplementing his modest salary by selling class A drugs in the basement smoking room. But nowadays such mistakes are rare. I can be relied upon to remember the names and personal obsessions of my leave-takers and deliver a short speech of farewell which conveys just enough regret at the departure of yet another short-lived colleague to dampen the exuberant sense among most of my listeners that this latest sacking renders their own positions secure for at least another month. It's an increasingly demanding job. Only yesterday morning I was introduced to a brand new recruit in Broadcasting House who'd been hired on a three-week contract which he'd been assured at interview was highly likely to be renewed. Professionals like myself never take such reassurances for granted. "Welcome to the department," I said. "Good to have you with us. And, by the way, what's your favourite football team?"

text: 10 years ago, I think 17 to 20 points a game was pretty good. I would consider less then 14, not so good. I would consider 10 or less, stopped. Now, statistically, you can draw conclusions based of numbers but in reality, the question becomes, when you had to score, could you? The answer is yes. The teams of the early 90s scored and inflicted there will on others. You also have to keep in mind that we used the running game to control tempo. Typically, we didn't go out to try and score as many points as we could. That was not the way that team played. They got up on you and then used clock in the running game to control the game. I'm amazed at how litteral you are trying to make this. No offense, in any sport, ever, has been judged on it's ability to score all the time. Obviously, if that were the case, there would not be a sport. I mean, this is commen sense. If an offense can score points when it needs to on a fairly consistant basis, if an offense can control a game, then I think you have to say that that offense is pretty damn good. The Cowboys offense definatly did that.

When attending a WordCamp from out of town, there is always the dilemma of what to do with yourself after the sessions are over and before the after party starts.
I've put together an insider's guide on where to grab dinner on Saturday, or in general.
If you want to stay nearby
- William Street Common – Gastropub – 3900 Chestnut Street (39th and Chestnut) If you suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) you can go right to the after party venue and get dinner there. Or just hang out, have drinks and be first in line for appetizers. It's a 20 minute walk from U of the Sciences to William Street Common. You can also take the #11 or #36 trolley (AKA The Green Line) to 36th and Chestnut, and walk the remaining 3 blocks.
- Hip City Veg – Vegan – 214 South 40th Street Hip City is vegetarian Heaven! They serve 100% plant-based fast food. It is a locally-owned chain with just 2 locations, and luckily, one is close to the after party. It is so good!
- Local 44 – Beer and Food – 4333 Spruce Street (Corner of 44th + Spruce) This one is recommended by my friend who lives in the area. She says they have many vegan and vegetarian options.
- Han Dynasty – Trendy Schezuan Chinese – 3711 Market Street It's kinda loud and crowded, but people love Han Dynasty. The dishes are heat-rated by number.
- Pod – Swanky Asian Fusion – 3636 Sansom Street Pod is local restaurateur, Stephen Starr's, super mod Asian restaurant where you can get fancy cocktails and conveyor belt sushi. I wouldn't give their food the highest rating in the world, but the place itself is pretty cool.
- White Dog Cafe – Localvore American – 3420 Sansom Street Judy Wicks (the person who essentially started the sustainable business movement in Philadelphia) opened this restaurant in 1983. It one of the first sustainable restaurants and forever changed the course of history for triple bottom line businesses in Philly. The food is really good, too.
- Baltimore Avenue If you stroll West on Baltimore Ave. from the University of the Sciences you will find urban anarchist hippy co-housing and lots of great places to eat. Check out this article from Philly Eater complete with a handy map – Restaurant Rows: The Best of Baltimore Avenue. Just a note, going down Baltimore Ave. will take you further away from the after-party.
- Easy and Familiar Chain Restaurants In the area surrounding Hip City (214 South 40th Street) you'll find familiar chain restaurants like Chipotle, Qdoba, Ben & Jerry's etc. mixed in with some local places. If you walk around you'll find something decent. My favorite is Ramen Bar at 4040 Locust Street.
If you want to venture into Center City
If you want to stray across the Schuylkill River into Center City, you can hop on a Subway-Surface trolley (the Green Line) or catch a cab. You'll be late getting back to the After Party, but it wont be too bad if you stay within Center City proper.
- V Street – Vegetarian – 126 South 19th Street Vegan tapas! It's a great place, but small and they do not take reservations so you'll probably have a wait.
- Village Whisky – Burger bar – 118 South 20th Street Gourmet bar food and lots of cocktails from local restauranteur, Jose Garces.
- Oyster House – Seafood/Raw bar – 1516 Sansom Street Arguably the best raw bar in Philly.
- Barbuzzo – Mediterranean – 110 South 13th Street Really delicious, fresh Mediterranean-inspired food. If you want in you'll need a reservation, because it's always packed, but you can sometimes grab a spot at the bar. If you can't get in, there are a ton of other great restaurants on 13th street.
- Charlie Was a Sinner – Vegan – 131 South 13th Street Charlie Was a Sinner is an amazing vegan cocktail bar owned by the same woman who owns Hip City Veg. If you want to start drinking fancy cocktails early and eat fantastic vegan food go here.
- Cheu Noodle Bar – Ramen – 255 South 10th Street If you're my friend on Swarm, you know I check in here all the time. Cheu Noodle is my favorite place to eat in Philly. I've eaten a lot of ramen and hands-down this is the best in Philly (my fav is the Miso Ramen). They don't take reservations and you may have a wait, but it's worth it.
- Little Nonna's – Italian – 1234 Locust Street Delicious Italian Restaurant in the Gayborhood owned by Marcie Turney and Valerie Safran, the same couple that owns Barbuzzo and a bunch of other restaurants in the area.
If you don't care if you're really late to the after-party
Philly is delicious and if you don't mind being really late to the after party you can make the journey to these further away neighborhoods. You can also check out these places if you're in town before or after WordCamp.
- Lee How Fook – Chinese – 219 North 11th Street I've been going to Lee How Fook with my family since the 80s, and I would dare say it is the best Chinese food in Philly. Get the salt baked squid, the Peking Duck or a vegetarian Buddha Roll.
- Vietnam Restaurant – Vietnamese – 221 North 11th Street Right next door to Lee How Fook is Vietnam Restaurant (not Vietnam Palace across the street). The food is delicious and if you want to get your drink on you can get a Flaming Volcano – it's like an alcohol trough with real flames in the middle.
- Dim Sum Garden – Dim Sum – 1020 Race Street Two words: soup dumplings.
- Nan Zhou Hand-Drawn Noodle House – Chinese Noodles – 1022 Race Street Noodles are hand-pulled in-house and added to soups and other dishes.
- Ray's Cafe & Tea House – Taiwanese – 141 North 9th Street In addition to an amazing selection of coffee and tea, Ray's also has really great food. Note, they're only open until 8:30.
Northern Liberties
You can walk around the Piazza or Liberties Walk and find a zillion places to eat. The area gets a little overrun with Yo Bros/Woo Girls at night, but late afternoon/early evening isn't too bad. Here are some of my fav NoLibs places to eat.
- D'mitris – Greek – 944 North 2nd Street D'mitris is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly. Get the grilled octopus or the fried calamari.
- Cantina Dos Segundos – Mexican – 931 North 2nd Street The NoLib's branch of Cantina featuring Mexican inspired food and drinks.
- Standard Tap – Gastropub – 901 North 2nd Street Good beer and good food.
Fishtown is the hipster outpost of Philly (and the location of YIKES headquarters). It's far from West Philly but full of great places to eat.
- Pizza Brain – Pizza – 2313 Frankford Ave Pizza Brain not only has decent pizza, it is also the World's first Pizza Museum! After you're done your slice you can go to Little Baby's Ice Cream next door.
- Cedar Point Kitchen – Localvore American – 2370 East Norris Street Really good classic food and a great selection of beer.
- Loco Pez – Mexican – 2401 East Norris Street – Delicious drinks and tacos.
- Stock – Hipster Pho – 308 East Girard Ave. Tasty Pho and Banh Mi
- Kensington Quarters – Localvore Hipster Restaurant/Butcher Shop – 1310 Frankford Ave. I've never eaten at the restaurant, but I've bought meat from the butcher and they are super nice & knowledgeable and everything I've gotten from them has been delicious.
- Frankford Ave. There are too many places to eat on and around Frankford Ave. to list them all. This article lists most of them – An Eating and Drinking Tour Through Fishtown
East Passyunk Ave
East Passyunk Ave. is wall-to-wall restaurants and local shops. Here are a few.
- Bing Bing Dim Dum – Hipster Dim Sum – 1648 East Passyunk Ave. This place is pretty new and the Cheu Noodle Guys' 2nd restaurant. Super fun and tasty dim sum and drinks.
- Cantina los Caballitos – Mexican – 1651 East Passyunk Ave Really good Mexican inspired food and drinks.
- Izumi – Japanese – 1601 East Passyunk Avenue Pretty good sushi.
- Stateside – Gastropub – 1536 East Passyunk Ave Anthony Bourdain shot some scenes from Stateside for his Philly episode of The Layover.
If you want to schmooze at a fancy restaurant
Want to take folks out to dinner and impress them? Try one of these places – and get a reservation ahead of time!
- Vedge – Upscale Vegan – 1221 Locust Street Vedge has repeatedly been named the best gourmet vegan restaurant in the US. Chef Rich Landeau also won an episode of Chopped.
- Morimoto – Japanese – 723 Chestnut Street Japanese food is my favorite cuisine and some of the best food I have ever eaten has been at Morimoto. Get the tuna tartare, you'll be dreaming about it for weeks afterward.
- Zahav – Israeli – 237 St James Place Amazing food made up of small plates.
- Talula's Garden – Farm-to-Table – 210 West Washington Square Fresh, delicious and a really beautiful space. Talula's always makes the top restaurant lists in Philly.
If you just want a cheesesteak
A cheesesteak in Philly is like a latte in Seattle – almost anywhere you go is going to be pretty decent. But if you want a good, authentic Philly cheesesteak you'll have to travel a little.
Disclaimer: Cheesesteak reviews are of my opinion and do not represent the views of all WordCamp Philly organizers 🙂
- Jim's – 4th and South Street Forget Pat's & Geno's I think Jim's steaks are better. There is often a line around the block and South Street at night is a hot drunk mess, but if you want a good cheesesteak go to Jim's.
- Tony Luke's – 39 East Oregon Ave Tony Luke's is the real deal/deep South Philly cheesesteak experience. You'll have to journey to middleish-of-nowhere South Philly, but if it's late at night you could go to next door to Southbowl's late-night happy hour (10pm-12am, Sunday-Thursday) after you're done your cheesesteak.
- Joe's – 1 West Girard Ave. (Frankford & Girard) Since Joe's opened up just down the street from our office, I've been there way too many times. The best part is vegetarians/vegans/omnivores can all enjoy food there. You can get a vegan cheesesteak, or a real steak sandwich with vegan cheese or vegan steak with real cheese – any combination you want and it's all delicious.
- Pat's/Geno's – 1237 E. Passyunk Avenue (the intersection of 9th Street, Wharton Street and Passyunk Avenue) If you see Philly cheesesteaks on national TV it's usually Pat's and Geno's – 2 cheesesteak joints right across the street from each other open late into the night. If you want to experience the late-night spectacle that is Pat's and Geno's go ahead, but it's a little touristy and not the greatest cheesesteaks ever. If you do go, go to Pat's which is the one not lit up like Times Square.
If you just need decent coffee
Coffee people, you know what I'm sayin' — you don't just need coffee you need GOOD coffee. My wife and I are coffee people and we know all the great coffee shops.
West Philly
- Hub Bub Coffee – 3736 Spruce Street I can't vouch for this one, but they serve Stumptown and Reanimator so I imagine it should be decent. It's also the one on the list closest to WordCamp.
Center City
- Elixr – 207 South Sydenham Street This one is close to the official WordCamp Philly hotel.
- Bodhi – 263 S. 10th Street
- Rival Bros. – 2400 Lombard Street
- Ray's Cafe & Tea House – 141 North 9th Street You wont get hipster pour-overs here, but Ray's was doing Jamaican Blue Mountain siphon coffee and cold-brew iced coffee way before it was cool. The coffee here is simply delicious and the presentation is super cute.
Newbold/Graduate Hospital
- Ultimo Coffee – 2 locations: 1900 S 15th Street and 2149 Catharine Street
Queen Village/South Street
- Shot Tower Coffee – 542 Christian Street. My local coffee spot.
- Ox – 616 South 3rd Street
- Bodhi – 410 South 2nd Street – If you go here on a Sunday you can enjoy the Headhouse Farmers Market across the street.
Old City
- Menagerie Coffee – 18 South 3rd Street
Northern Liberties
- One Shot – 217 West George Street Mia's and my favorite place near the office.
- Reanimator – 1523 E. Susquehanna Ave.
- La Colombe Headquarters – 1335 Frankford Ave – I'm not a huge fan of La Colombe coffee (sorry), but their flagship shop in Fishtown is amazing and the coffee is extra good there.
This list is just the tip of the iceberg – Philly is such a great eating city. If there is anything specific you're looking for, just track me down and I'll help you find it.

Technology has improved greatly in PC monitor department. While we still have the basic type division in TN, VA and IPS panels, in last few years there has come to many new improvements and novelties, so now we have curved panels, OLED, gaming beasts with 1ms response time and 200Mhz refresh rates etc. Also, now we have NVIDIA G-sync and AMD Freesync technologies. We tried to help you to find the perfect fit for yourself in all that mess, so we found top 5 monitors, each one for different purpose.
Minimum you should buy - LG 22MP48D
If you are in a need for a baciss monitor for everyday use than this is the one. 22" is the size we would not recommend you go under, beacuse anything less is simply too small. This monitor has FullHD resolution and 60Mhz refresh rate. Those are standard figures in this price category. Why did we choose this one then? It is one of the cheapest IPS monitors available, and if you have ever seen the difference between IPS and TN screen, than you know that the IPS is correct choice. So, LG is a perfect budget choice.
Best budget gaming monitor - AOC G2460PF
If you are looking for a perfect gaming monitor than you are in a tough spot. Unless you are willing to spend large amount of cash you have to make some compromises. You can either choose TN monitor with low response time and high refresh rate, but poor colors and viewing angles; or you could choose VA/IPS monitor that has somewhat higher response time and lower refresh rates, but much better color reproduction. High refresh rate and low input lag are very important in playing competitive FPS like Counter Strike: Global Offensive. If your gaming is reserved for AAA titles like Witcher 3 or GTA V we would suggest going with a VA/IPS panel so can really enjoy in a beautiful scenery in those games.
AOC is on this list because to use it seems like a very good pick. It has 144Mhz and response time of only 1ms. That makes it perfect choice for competitive gaming. It is 24" in diagonal and that is the size we would not recommend go under in case of gaming. It also has AMD Freesync technology so you can forget about nasty screen tearing. From connectors it has everything you might need: VGA, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort.
Best ultrawide - AOC U3477PQU
Ultrawides are quickly gaining on popularity so we had to include one of them on our list. Advantages of using ultra-wide screen are that you will be able to watch movies in native 21:9 aspect ratio without black bars, and gaming on these things is spectacular. Also, you can be quite productive because you can easily put 2 or 3 windows side by side.
This AOC has 3440x1440 resolution with gorgeous IPS display and diagonal of 34".
4K Recommendation - Phillips Brilliance 328P
4k monitors were something that most people could only dream about just a few years ago. They were far too expensive and rare for ordinary users. Things have changed quite a bit tough, so now they are available at much reasonable prices. Advantages of using 4K are obvious; even on a large 32" screen everything will be incredibly sharp and crisp. We have chosen this Phillips because we think that 32" is not too big for a PC monitor, in fact we prefer having 4K on a larger screen because the difference is more obvious with a screen this size, where anything less would seem bad. We had this monitor on test, and we really enjoyed in 2 weeks of working and gaming on this 4K screen. You can find out more on our YouTube page.
Asus PA248Q - Best All Around
If you are in need of a monitor for professional usage, especially if you work in photo and video industry, but you also like to fire up a few games in your free time then this is the monitor for you. What's special about Asus is that it has 16:10 aspect ratio which more professional users still prefer due to more vertical space. Resolution is 1920x1200 which is enough on a screen this size. What is great is that it has E-IPS display which has amazing viewing angles and great color reproduction. Also, stand is amazing and has all ergonomic functions you might need.

Whenever a black man is killed (Michael Brown, Freddie Grey, Trayvon Martin, etc..) You will see black men and women go hard in the marching and stuff but when its black women (Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Natasha Mckenna, Yvette Smith, etc...) You'll only see black women, white women and white men. I HONESTLY see more white men then I do black in these marches for black women. If BLM is just about black men, then I don't even want to do it anymore.
How come black men never show up to BLM when a black woman is killed?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
I haven't noticed that personally. All I know is that any death is tragic, regardless of skin color or gender.10|10|0
What Girls Said 1
Yupp. When an innocent black man is killed, I'll be outraged just like any other but when it comes to advocating for black men around the world? No, they can do it themselves. Whenever I bring out the topic of racism, you won't believe the ignorance that comes out of A LOT of black men's mouths. Its like they were Jim Crow mistakenly put into a Black man's body. So, when people trash them? Well... They do the same to us, so whatever. Now, there is some who do advocate for black women but they're a minority. Now, insult a black female around me? God bless your soul 🙏32|10|0

About Our Dissemination Grant
Starting in 2013 Community Partnership and P.S. 270 (with which the lower school is co-located) were awarded the Charter School Dissemination Grant for three years from the New York State Education department. The goal of this grant is to provide funding for schools with ideas about how to share best practices and instructional techniques between charter schools and district schools.
Leaders and teachers from Community Partnership are sharing assessment practices with leaders and teachers at P.S. 270 through professional development days, workshops, and regular meetings about using the STEP assessment. The STEP assessment is a tool used to offer "training and certification that defines the pathway and tracks the progress of pre-kindergarten through third grade students as they learn to read using research-based milestones."

Just Hard Work and Inspiration
In my opinion one of the smartest things you can do when faced with writers block is hop over the fence to my side and decide there is NO such things as writers block. Now don't run away, hear me out. I have reasons that switching your thinking may help you in the long run.
Why calling it writers block can hinder your goals:
It takes the power away from you, it's saying that some hint outside yourself, something you cannot control is in charge of when you are able to write... When in reality you're choosing not to for whatever reason. Find out why and work through that to write again. It may be as simple aasnd needing a new direction or inspiration, or it may be more along the lines of needing to take care of other things first. But all of the reasons are in control and you're not blocked by a mysterious force. Take control back and choose to write.
Why waiting on a muse, or attributing your accomplishments to a muse can hinder your goals:
It takes the power away from you, it's saying that some hint outside yourself, something you cannot control is in charge of when and what you are able to write. When you describe it as someone else, some muse or voices or anything other than yourself is telling you what to write instead of you, then you not only take away your own loser like you do with blaming writers block for a break, but you also take away every accomplishment. You don't deserve the positives after writing something amazing, because it wasn't you who wrote it, it's all thanks to the muse. Don't fall into this trap either. If you choose when and when not to write, then you also choose what to write about.
Instead label these writing ideas in a way that gives you back your power, control, and accomplishment:
Things may inspire you, a song, a conversation, etc - but once inspiration strikes then it is your idea that you're plotting, it's your characters that are blossoming because of your dialogue and your voice, and it is your manuscript full of your words on the pages. You choose how and when to write those words, and if they fail or they succeed you are the one who made it happen. With hard work and inspiration you take back the control and power of your writing.
How do you feel about muses and blocks? How do you keep your control to stay inspired and writing?

Freddie Mercury
September 5, 2011 by USA Post
Freddie Mercury, Google doodle today celebrates what would be the 65th birthday of one of the most extraordinary rock stars of the 20th century - Freddie Mercury.
Mercury was best known for his role in the band Queen, the pumping of such classic hits as We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody. He rocked stages all over the world with his amazing vocal range and stage presence outgoing sadly died before 1991.
The Mercury animated shows scribbles on a mission through time and space, jumping from his time in a world of 8 bits, riding a tiger (like you), which quickly becomes a super-sonic space-runner all the music of Do not Stop Ne now.
Not only is the scenario how we spend the weekend, which is so beautifully created in a drawing that caused our own Nick Hide to exclaim: "I am calling: doodle best ever." Strong words indeed.
In the official Google blog, Queen guitarist Brian May, Mercury said, "Freddie would have been 65 this year, and although not physically here, his presence seems more powerful than ever.
"Freddie was the last person in the back of further support in a stadium feel like I was connected people has given proof that a man can achieve their dreams -. I felt that by him were overcoming their own timidity, and each time the powerful figure of his ambitions.
"And he lived life to the fullest. Devoured life. Held every minute. And, like a comet, leaving a streak of light that shine for generations to come."
If you want to feel some of the power of Freddie, head to Google now connect your headphones and click on the doodle today. We will wait here until the end rocking.

Polypropylene is a plastic polymer, of the chemical designation C3H6. It is used in many different settings, both in industry and in consumer goods. It can be used both as a structural plastic and as a fiber. Like many plastics, polypropylene has virtually endless uses, and its development has not slowed since its discovery. Whether used for industrial molds, rugged currency, car parts, or Tupperware, polypropylene is one of a handful of materials the world is literally built around.
Polypropylene is a byproduct of oil refining. Produced during the process is propylene gas, which, when put into a reactor, becomes propylene powder. After stabilisers are mixed with the powder, it is placed in an extruder, which produces propylene pellets, which can then be turned into a range of things including car bumper bars and food containers. If the pellets are melted, they can be made into a fibre which can then be made into bags.
Buyers are being conned. Your environmentally friendly green bags are made of plastic - polypropylene is a fossil fuel-based plastic. The bags are also imported from China. So, plastic, non-renewable, doing nothing for our balance of payments and guess what? You're paying for the privilege. Supermarkets are laughing all the way to the bank.
A reader wrote to us: "I've just retired after 30 years in the packaging industry and, frankly, I'm amazed at the constant rave about the 'environmental' green bags ... Doesn't anyone realize these bags are made of the same 'almost indestructible' materials used in car bumpers and wheelie bins? ... what happens when these 'cool' bags reach the end of their life cycle? There will be millions of them in circulation, just like plastic bags!

LEED BD+C: Schools v3 - LEED 2009
Bay Path Regional Vocational Tech HS
Charlton, MA 01507
United States
Map Visit website
LEED Silver 2016
Originally constructed in 1971, Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School serves 1,100 students from 10 communities in Massachusetts. The original 198,000-square-foot facility, located on a tight site atop a hill, was overcrowded and many academic and shop classrooms did not meet state size standards.
In 2015, Bay Path completed a major addition and renovation project to address the facility needs. The project included a new 50,000-square-foot addition, which houses new science labs, a new media center and administrative offices. The remaining 198,000 square feet was renovated to meet local, state and federal codes as well as enlarging classrooms and shop areas to meet state standards; repair exterior masonry; replace inefficient windows and doors; upgrade its HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems; and remove hazardous materials.
LEED® certification was pursued to illustrate the commitment of the 10 district communities to energy efficiency and sustainable design. However, sustainable design in a vocational school can be a challenge, since many shop areas may have specialized machinery and equipment and few windows, reducing opportunities for efficiencies. The project maximized achievable sustainable design features to earn a LEED Silver certification.
As part of the renovation, more than 95 percent of the existing building was reused, including the walls, floors and roof. Skylights and new windows brought natural daylight into the building, and low VOC paints and finishes further brightened interiors spaces while simultaneously improving indoor air quality. The roof was replaced with an Energy STAR certified white membrane. Additional sustainable strategies include use of materials made of recycled content and use of wood materials, which were Forest Stewardship Council certified. The site is made up of more than 85 percent open space, all of which is vegetated with water efficient landscaping and native plants.
In addition, Bay Path has introduced sustainable design and energy into the curriculum with courses, such as Introduction to Sustainable Land Use; Water Quality; Energy: Electricity and Generators; and Levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).

|Fall of Plains Village
Old Glory Gang
Plains Village
Forces involved
Fall of Plains Village is the name given to the short-time battle which happened at Plains Village, resulting in Old Glory Gang capturing the village, and furthermore, beginning in the conflict which Old Glory Gang rose in it.
The battle was OGG's first ever operation, which was hugely successful due to getting a fighting crew. The operation was opposed by Gow's earthbending crew and later, by civilians of the village, which weren't any threat to OGG, in a little time, OGG captured the whole village.
At The Boiling Rock, Ozai ordered Zhao to escape prison and regain glory to Ozai's allies. Zhao, Ozai and the other prisoners helped in Zhao's sneak out, then he defeated two guards, captured an airship, and destroyed three airships all by himself.
Afterwards, Zhao traveled to Omashu to meet his son, who was later revealed to be a master firebender, Jong Kong. He asked his son to collect his friends, which were Hiku and Fu Gan, and both of the friends accepted to help regaining glory, despite Fu Gan being an Earth Kingdom man and an earthbender. Fu Gan came up with the name Old Glory Gang, Zhao found a hideout to the north of Omashu for the gang. There, the foursome planned to capture the village.
The Battle
The OGG flew with their captured Fire Nation airship, then they stopped in the air over Plains Village, Hiku hopped to the heart of the village so earthbenders came all around him, Zhao and Jong Kong started to blow fireballs on the earthbenders' heads while civilians came to fight as well. Fu Gan began taking rocks from the earth and throwing them at civilians and earthbenders, after a little time, five of fifteen earthbenders were injured badly as well as two civilians, This marked the end of the battle as the village's leadership surrendered.
The village surrendered and the leader of the village, Gow, who was not defeated after the war but was still in his place, gave the leadership of the village to Zhao, he and his earthbenders crew joined the OGG. Citizens of the village were asked to join the gang, the ones who did not accept were imprisoned.
The battle resulted in the start of the rise of the Old Glory Gang, which was brought later to Zuko and Aang's total awareness, as well as the Earth King's awareness. Furthermore details are yet to be announced with the releases of next chapters of the story.

Ww Core Pasta With Eggplant
Be the first to review
READY IN: 30mins
Recipe by kendall603
This is a very chunky "sauce". It really is more like eggplant and meat with tomato chunks too... over pasta. I adapted a recipe that I had made many times before to fit with the Weight Watchers Core program. It turned out great and I thought I would share. It is really fabulous with crumbled low fat turkey or chicken sausage which is not core... I chose to spend a few points that way. But you could easily substitute 93% lean ground beef or turkey to make it 100% core.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 crushed fresh garlic cloves (to taste)
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1⁄4 cup fresh basil
- 1 eggplant, cut very small with skin on
- 1 lb 93% fat free lean ground turkey or 1 lb ground beef
- whole wheat penne (or your favorite pasta)
Directions See How It's Made
- This comes together quickly. Start boiling your water for the pasta before cooking the sauce otherwise you'll be sitting around waiting for your pasta to be done.
- Brown ground turkey or beef in its own pan. Set aside.
- In new pan, add olive oil and cook crushed garlic. Add can of tomatoes & tomato paste. The tomato paste is just for thickness so add till you get your desired thickness. Add fresh basil.
- Turn down heat to simmer until sauce thickens a bit. Add ground beef/turkey and eggplant.
- Serve over whole wheat pasta.

The Philosopher's Stone is an Equivalent Exchange 2 item used for transforming blocks and crafting high-EMC items within the Equivalent Exchange 2 mod.
The Philosopher's Stone plays an integral role in the creation of various types of EE2 fuels, which can be used to create Nova Catalysts and Nova Cataclysms, two of the most notable explosives in Tekkit.
Oo-LaLa! Time to go!
Transforming Blocks
With the Philosopher's Stone in your hand, press the "Charge" key ("V" by default) to incrementally charge it. Pressing Shift + V will incrementally lower the charge. There are 5 charge / power levels. The lowest charge level will transform blocks within a one block radius, and each additional charge level increases the transform radius by one.
Here is a list of all known block transformations.
|Right Click
|Shift + Right Click
|Stone --> Cobblestone
|Stone --> Dirt (Grass)
|Dirt (Grass) --> Sand
|Cobblestone --> Dirt (Grass)
|Tall Grass --> Dead Bush
|Dirt (Grass) --> Cobblestone
|Netherrack --> Cobblestone
|Sand --> Cobblestone
|Gravel --> Sandstone
|Sandstone --> Gravel
|Melon --> Pumpkin
|Water --> Ice
|Lava --> Obsidian
|Oak Wood --> Pine Wood --> Birch Wood
|Dandelion --> Rose
Brown Mushroom --> Red Mushroom
|Oil --> Ice
|Glass -> Sand
If you have a suitable source of EMC in your inventory (Coal seems to work best for this), press "Release Charge" ("R" by default) while targeting a mob with the Philosopher's Stone to randomly transform it into another mob of the same hostility level (e.g. Cows will never become Creepers, and Creepers will never become Cows).
Crafting Items
The Philosopher's Stone is used to craft many items, mostly within the Equivalent Exchange 2 mod. When you use the Philosopher's Stone to craft an item, it will always be returned to your inventory.
Crafting Recipes
Vanilla ItemsCoal
Equivalent Exchange 2 ItemsAlchemical Coal
Mobius Fuel
Aeternalis Fuel
Transmutation Tablet
Release Charge key (default R): Fires a projectile outwards. If it hits a mob, it will transform it into another random mob of that disposition, Peaceful or Aggressive. This effect costs 1 fuel (glowstone dust, redstone dust, etc.) Mobs added by other mods will turn into a slime or sheep randomly regardless of that mobs disposition. Sometimes, there is a bug that even when a mob is hit by this projectile, nothing happens.
Extra Function key (default C): Opens a Crafting Table. Due to some changes by Mojang, there is a bug making the Philosopher's Stone jump out of your table into your inventory or worse, disappear.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: rogerd
I am working with a company that I am paying (a good deal of money) to develop my website. I am not a webmaster or developer myself, ok? So I may not quite put things "right" in technical terms and for that, I apologize...
My website is about 3/5's of the way completed (and many many months overdue -- but that is a wholly separate issue!). It is hosted on their development server so I have no way to show it to anyone as yet. One of the last remaining but very big and important pieces is to include a forum -- and it has become (yet another) very big problem.
But -- the developers are now telling me they can not make any forum software work as I want it to work within my website. The developers have tried to use vBulletin and phpBB and, they tell me, have spent a great deal of time looking at and trying other forum softwares. They refer to trying to proceed further on the forum part of the website as a great big time sink, though they say they will come back to this issue after they've gotten everything else completed.
The website will be, when it goes live, a member-based site for the exclusive use of folk who belong to our organization. It is not an intranet. I am hoping you may have some better answers than these developers are giving to me, and that you might be able to help me, please.
The website is being done in php, uses CSS, and it uses MySql databases.
(1) There are "headers" and "footers" that, per my requirements, appear at the top and bottom of every single page on my website. I have this requirement because I want design consistency, and want the site's brand identification and navigation to be always easily accessible for the site's users (who are not at all technical themselves). But, the developers are now telling me that it is not possible to make any forum software work between these headers and footers. That none of the forum softwares they have looked at or have tried to implement will work within the header and footer framework.
Do you know of any websites or forum software you could refer me to where forums DO work within a parent website's headers and footers? Such that no matter what page within the forum I'd be on, there would still be the "parent" site's headers and footers displayed? If so, would you please tell me of those site addresses if they are available for viewing? If you have positive experience doing this kind of thing, would you let me know please?
(2) The developers tell me that all of the forum softwares they look at have their own databases and there is no way (that they can figure out so far) for these databases to "talk" to one another. That the "parent" website databases can not populate the forum's databases so that, for members who are already logged on to the main or parent site, transition between the parent site and the forum part of the website is seamless.
I would like folk who are logged on to the site to be able to use the forum without having to register for, and log in and out of the forum part. And, of course, for folk who are not logged on to the "parent" site to be unable to log on to the forum part. Is this "seamlessness" between website and forum possible, do you know?
(3) THE only piece of forum software that I want to have working is the forum piece. Other aspects of the "parent" website already have messaging and email and etc. capabilities and for very good security reasons, I do not want to repeat those features. I just (? "just"?) want to use the forum part of the software. But the developers are telling me now that it is not possible on any forum software to disable or cut out code that is ancillary to the forum part... Are you aware of any forum software that DOES allow installing or using just the forum part of things? If so, would you tell me of that software please?
Again, I really really hope you may be able to help me with this problem. If I have not provided enough information for you to understand the problem(s) then please let me know and I will do my best to give better details. I can also ask the developers for some information but, because I am not technically adept my self, can't promise to accurately translate but, will do my best.
Thank you so very much! I look forward hopefully to hearing from you!
In response to point #3, there are plenty of simple, "light" forum solutions out there; for example UseBB. These may be simple enough to allow a solution to point #2.
Tying together the authentication part is the only tricky thing. Since many forums have well-developed authentication schemes, some sites will use the forum database as the site's authentication scheme. (Among other things, this avoids having to hack the forum software.) In your case, you may have to do something like port your existing users into your forum and then add new users to the forum database as the register on the main site.
You might decide which forum software you like and look for a intergration with a cms to see if there is an approach that your developers can use on the system they developed. Off the top of my head other cms's to look at would be drupel,mambo and joomla. I am not sure what all forums those would have intergrated but its safe to say some of the opensource one's will be covered and maybe VB and IPD.
Hope that helps and makes sense :)
For 2), again, I can't imagine that you couldn't hack bits of the forum to authenticate off your main database, while still using its own database. Again, I've worked with several different forums and other software, and I've never had a problem hacking them to integrate with another database.
For 3), I'm afraid I've got nothing. If it were me, I'd just take something like phpBB and modify the code to cut out or disable the extraneous features.
All three of the above, by the way, will make upgrading difficult. This isn't a problem for the person doing the hacking, but will likely be a problem for ongoing maintenance. Perhaps this is what they mean by "not possible?" Also, you may not be able to have 1), 2), and 3) at the same time.
When you say you were told "it couldn't be done," are you sure they didn't mean "it can't be done without a lot more time and money" or "it can't be done within your deadline?" Integrating 3rd party apps into other things can be tricky and time-consuming, but I've never run into "it can't be done" period. I've definitely run into situations where, when I tell the person how long it will take, they choose not to do it, and that's their choice. Sometimes it's not worth it. But it's not that it can't be done...
I hate to say it, but you may want to bring in another developer for a second-opinion. I'm sure there must be more to the story, but I've never seen anything you've asked declared "not possible," only "not feasible" or "not without more time and/or money." :-)

Stock Market: CNBC Report
There are a few things that are notable about the daily chart. The index is still being held back by the "last low before the final high." There are now three thrusts up after the low. The last thrust may not yet be complete. But anytime an index shows three thrusts below a high it is at risk of reversing. Unlike any of the previous rallies after a high was established at anytime in this bull campaign, the first correction had gone deeply into the rally as illustrated by the red arrows. So because of those large retracements I consider this a weak trend. If the index can show a low on top of the recent highs then it could be going into a vertical move up and my caution would be wrong. Also because each of the corrections down has been smaller it may have to exhaust the support with a spike up. But for now I believe the index is at risk of a run back to test the July low after this pattern is complete. This last high was 90 days from low and is a cycle for strong resistance. The more significant 90-day cycle is 11 September and could set up as an important high if it can either exhaust or move sideways into that date. So remember, even though it cannot "get legs" you can also see the moves down have been less and less in points so the character of this trend since the June low could still show an exhaustion rally or spike up into the first week in September and then I'd be worried about a sharp rundown. For the stock indexes I believe this will be a year of consolidation and 2008 will be a big bull year.
You can see there are also three thrusts upward below the high as in the FTSE only this is currently holding on top of the previous high. Since we are looking for this to become a sideways pattern that means this rally can go to between ¾ of the range down, which it is now moving against, and up to a ¼ of extension of the last range up. So now that the index is within that zone of price resistance we can look for a high. Unfortunately it is a large 53 point range and that is the best I can do for now. But because the consensus became so bearish during June and July I believe their needs to see some further distribution before a correction. This current resistance is 90 calendar days from a low but the more meaningful 90-day cycle would be out to September 12th. Notice how there was a wide range down on Wednesday and no follow through to the downside on Thursday and Friday showed a weak rally. Breaking Thursday's low after a weak rally of one to three days would be an indication of lower prices but not necessarily a run back to the July low yet, we still need more time to expire. It is also sitting in a strong position resting on top of the previous high so as with the FTSE a spike up is possible. Volume is drying up as it does this time every year. But even in view of that seasonality there is still vulnerability to a few wide range days down, I've learned not to make excuses for volume (it is what it is). So this week let the index show the direction-looks to me like up into September 12 but it needs to get by this light volume week.
Most markets will run out a one, two and three year cycles numerous times throughout a decade. This appears to be such an instance. This chart is posted on my web site so you can study it further. The one-year cycle breaks into 1/8th and 1/3rd in "time" just as we do with the price of ranges. This leaves September 3 to 6 and October 3 to 6 as important vibrations in time.
In order for this pattern of trend to turn into a distribution pattern and show a run down to test the June lows will take more much more time. There are a few other points in time we'll look at next week.
This same analysis we're now going to look at can be applied to many markets today from the metals to the other stock indexes. IF this is a top forming or if there is going to be a pattern to confirm another run to the lows, the July high needs to be broken with this move down. I've drawn on the chart the minimum retracement necessary and the pattern to confirm a move down. Normally, if this rally off the June low is going to fail, the rally will have three thrusts below the high and large retracements because the move up needs to be weak if it is a distribution pattern. So far there are two thrusts since the June low and one deep retracement. There needs to be another fairly deep retracement. If this current move down can hold a small retracement and not move down below the July high, then there is something much stronger going on than I can see. But once there is another large retracement and a new high above this level as I've drawn on the chart, then the index becomes vulnerable to a significant run down but only after that pattern of trend is complete and after the date of 12 September.
As with most exhaustion moves this one ended with a 90 calendar day cycle low to high. Now the question has been is the current trading a secondary or lower high to be followed by a fast run down to take back that last leg up. I believe it is but following the huge blow off trend a good deal of distribution needs to take place before a trend reversal can occur. Most distribution patterns don't test lows as this has not been doing but hanging up above the low struggling each time it makes a move. In the vernacular of my industry it cannot "get legs". Sometime around September 12th that will change and any weakness after that date could bring in a breakdown through the June lows.

In This Section
LTE routinely conducts projects that involve repetitive tasks for several hundred sites at a time such as Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan preparation and stormwater inspections. In order to do this efficiently, we have developed complex relational database systems to track information and prepare reports.
The relational databases are generally combined with a geographic information system (GIS) to provide our clients with site maps and clear, concise data presentation.
LTE has over 15 staff members who conduct routine stormwater inspections for a variety of sites, including housing developments, oil and gas facilities, and industrial sites and carry laptop computers with LTE's relational databases. Stormwater inspections are required every 14 or 30 days or within 72 hours of a storm event. The site inspections and site maps are directly input into the database while our personnel are in the field.
Once the information is entered by the field personnel, several reports are instantaneously generated for our clients including the inspection report, calculations of containment volumes, a list of inadequacies, identification of BMPs that are needed or have been completed, and dates of completion of work.
These reports contain all of the site-specific information required by the regulations. In effect, we can complete the inspection and prepare all of the site-specific information for a site in a matter of minutes

Display Events: Warlord Attending | Warlord Not Attending | All
- This event has passed.
Tactica, Hamburg (Germany)
February 18 @ 10:00 am - February 19 @ 4:00 pm GMT
There are a lot of collectors of miniatures and wargamers of many systems in the north of Germany, but no specialized events to promote our little artifacts, exchange experiences or bring up new ideas.
That's why we, the Wargaming Club Hamburg, founded the "Hamburger Tactica". A convention which should become a gathering point for local, national and international collectors and wargamers. That is what we hope – at least.
Fantasy and SciFi as well as historical gaming systems in all scales are welcome.
Moreover we want to show the skills and the art of our beloved hobby by giving workshops and presentations a home. Collectors also have the opportunity to show their work.
The concept of our demonstrations is "Come & Play". Our exhibitors are happy to explain rules and tactics and visitors are welcome to join the gaming – they can even bring their own miniatures to take part in a game.
You can find a more detailed list and description of our program soon.
As long as we haven't filled our venue, we are happy to accept your proposals for game demonstrations and performances. And participation of foreign gaming clubs is welcome.
You can contact us via email@example.com

I grew up in South Jersey, near Philadelphia. I'm close to my family and my younger brother is one of my best friends. Seriously, he's awesome. I love animals and have had many pets throughout my life.
I can be shy and reserved, but I warm up pretty quickly. I have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor and am looking for someone who can take it and can also give it right back to me. My friends would describe me as intelligent, loyal and compassionate.
I was once attacked by a duck. I have an extreme phobia/fascination with sharks. My pet peeves include tardiness and getting my bathing suits wet. My guilty pleasures include reality TV and eating speculoos straight from the jar.
I love to travel and don't think I'll ever be satisfied with the number of stamps in my passport. I travel internationally 2-3 times per year. I'm headed to Greece this September and recent trips include Ireland/Scotland, Costa Rica, Iceland, China, Vietnam, Peru, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, Argentina and Brazil.

Aminex announces a reorganisation and continuation of its Egyptian interests through a conversion of its carried interest to first production into an overriding royalty position in a recent discovery well.
Aminex is currently a 12.5% shareholder in Aminex Petroleum Egypt Ltd. (APEL) and, through this shareholding, has an indirect 10% carried interest in the West Esh el Mellahah-2 (WEEM-2) production sharing contract (PSC) in Egypt.
• Opportunity for the Company to achieve revenues; • No exposure to development and operating expenditure; and • Risk free upside
Four exploration wells have been drilled in the WEEM-2 concession since 2006. The first two exploration wells were abandoned as dry holes and the third well was abandoned after recovering limited quantities of crude oil to surface. The fourth well, South Malak-2 ("SM-2"), drilled in 2014 as a sole risk well by a fellow participant, resulted in a discovery of oil, which has now been declared commercial.

The Universe Beyond the Big Bang from Ms. Edmunds on Vimeo.
Beyond The Big Bang
A look back in time billions and billions of years to the origin of the Big Bang. Leading physicists and historians theorize what happened before the bang occurred, how the physical nature of the universe unfolded as energy became matter forming stars and galaxies, and how the universe continues to expand outward at an ever-accelerating rate.
The universe began with a massive expansion, billions and billions of years ago, and it continues to expand with every passing second. The idea that the universe, and man's very existence, began with a "Big Bang" is no longer a topic of debate among most scientists--it is essentially taken as fact. How has man come to this conclusion, and how has our knowledge evolved so that we can recreate the very first seconds of our universe and all that has developed since? Interviews with the world's leading physicists and historians are woven together with animated recreations and first-person accounts to explain concepts such as the formation of galaxies, the creation of elements and the formation of Earth itself.

The Hollows, Williamsburg
The Hollows, Williamsburg
A gallery, exhibition space and artist residency program in a Brooklyn townhouse
For anyone who thinks all the emerging artistic substance (and flair) has left Williamsburg, Brooklyn for other neighborhoods, The Hollows might change your mind. Originally residents of Bushwick (where they opened in 2014) until their landlord wouldn't renew the lease at the last moment, co-founder and curator Piril Gündüz made the shift to Williamsburg upon finding a five-floor townhouse with a backyard that met all their needs and—with help from Kickstarter supporters—was made possible. The new space, which includes eight bedrooms and multiple common areas, plays host to living space, studio space and frequent exhibitions—which commenced a while after their late-March 2016 move-in. There's an array of powerful programming en route, some of which will take place in the townhouse's backyard.
Gündüz explains to CH, "We generally present large-scale group shows, incorporating both exhibitions and programming." Their next, "Electrique" opening 15 June, features work from 20 different artists. The focus—across 16 unique galleries set-up throughout the five floors—is on sound, light and mechanical pieces, but the exhibition will forego digital works. The opposition between humans and machines (or even humans and electricity) factor heavily into the experience.
Gündüz curated the exhibition while Baptiste Semal curated the previous. She has worked with many different curators in the past and plans on working with different curators in the future. Among the other forthcoming presentations, there will be a "Nighttime at The Hollows" event once a month (featuring the creation of live art) and an exhibition dedicated to the changing social and architectural fabric of Brooklyn, with a talk series affixed.
In August, the venue will play host to screenings and come September there will be further educational programming and talks. Most fascinating, however, is their continued "Room as a Canvas" series. Gündüz says, "We've been collecting proposals from artists who propose projects that make sense in the bedroom. It is a living space project. They have to find a reason to turn their private space into a public space." As the townhouse can accommodate seven artist residents, there's ample space to transform a bedroom into a work of art for all to see.
"I, myself, find it really interesting to link art pieces with specific locations and make them fixtures within interiors rather than putting them in neutral, sterile exhibition venues," concludes Gündüz. "In the townhouse, built in 1905, so many different surfaces will inspire artists and me as a curator—and the space adds a lot to the pieces. That was one of the things that led us to committing to it." In fact, the space does brim with life and hints at its potential are evident upon visiting. Of equal importance, however, is that an art gallery that grew in acclaim for its DIY aesthetic is attempting to reinvigorate a neighborhood that's 10 years into a corporate bulldoze.
