Synergy!, March 5 symposium on serving veterans promotes collaboration
State and federal government agencies, nonprofit veteran service organizations, businesses with veterans programs, community leaders and others will convene at Lipscomb University March 5 for Synergy!
More than 20 organizations from across the Southeast will gather to celebrate services to veterans, service members and their families and to collaborate on best practices and opportunities to create synergy among these organizations and maximize the results for all those served as well as explore ways to better serve these audiences.
This unprecedented collaboration includes such organizations as the United States Veterans Administration, the Tennessee Department of Veteran Affairs, Wounded Warrior Project, Operation Stand-down Nashville, Not Alone, Tennessee National Guard, US Army Recruiting, US Air Force Recruiting, AMVETS, Tennessee Department of Labor and a host of others.
"Synergy! is a unique event specifically designed to improve our communities by assisting and encouraging those who work to enhance the lives of our service members, veterans and their families," said Jim Humphrey, associate dean of students and director of veterans services at Lipscomb University.
Humphrey said the goal for Synergy! is "to develop an action plan that draws from the unique and specific talents of each organization to ensure better cooperation and coordination of services as we move forward improving our communities by more effectively helping these national treasures."
"No one single entity —federal, state or private—can provide the variety of service support needed for our military members, veterans and their families. However, I wholeheartedly believe a shared unity of purpose by all these organizations can," he said.
The symposium begins at noon and concludes at 4:30 p.m. and will take place in Lipscomb's Ezell Center. Lunch will be provided and all participants will receive two tickets to the fourth annual Charlie Daniels Scholarship for Heroes concert that begins at 7 p.m. that evening.
The symposium is open to representatives of organizations that serve service members, veterans and their families. Admission to the symposium is free, but registration is required. Register no later than Feb. 22 by emailing email@example.com or calling 615-966.6609.

I was thinking, what is the best way to manage a form with a variable number of fields?
Suppose you have the fields "phone1", "phone2" and "phone3", how can I insert the data into a database, not knowing how many fields I need to insert before the form gets submitted?
Question: Do you need to be able to search on said data?
In which sense?
If I understood what you meant then no, data would just be inserted in a database table.
per your example, rather than phone1, phone2 etc, create them as an array phone[]. then you can loop thru then when processing
You mean that the field name should be "phone[]"?
<input type="text" name="phone[]" />
<input type="text" name="phone[]" />
<input type="text" name="phone[]" />
Which then returns all phones in an array ($_POST['phone'][0], etc). You could save them in a single database field by imploding them on an unused character (something other than a number) after sanitizing them.
Could you please explain the section in bold?
imploding the entries of the array makes it a single string with a given delimiter. single string = single field, no matter how many phone numbers there are.
Ok, thanks

TPWD News Release — April 4, 2005
E-Bay Bust — Recently, investigators found a fish shocking device offered for sale on EBay, made contact with the seller, and became the high bidder. Undercover investigators then made contact with the seller at his residence in Erath County. Before the deal was completed, the seller bragged about killing 12 ducks after sunset the day before and gave the breasted ducks to the officers. Additionally, he gave them several homemade "fish bombs" with wet fuses and told of his latest invention, a way to shock doves off a highline. The person was "charged" with selling an electricity-producing device designed to shock fish, a Class B Misdemeanor, and was placed in the Erath County Jail.
Tragic Courthouse Shooting — Game Wardens were driving toward the Tyler office recently, to discuss a major case in Wood County. They heard one of the district judges on the radio describing shots fired at the courthouse. A pursuit began involving sheriff deputies and Tyler Police officers. Dispatch called for all officers, all agencies to rush to the courthouse where the man had been shooting, not knowing if other assailants were present. Game wardens assisted other officers in working perimeter security around the courthouse, which became one large crime scene. A Tyler man embroiled in a bitter child support dispute had opened fire with an AK-47 rifle killing his ex-wife and a good Samaritan on the East side of the courthouse, wounding two deputies, one police officer, and the shooter's oldest son. Others were injured from flying glass. The 43-year-old suspect, wearing body armor, died in a gun fight with officers after a vehicle pursuit. The good Samaritan, a private citizen and a concealed handgun license holder, had critically wounded the suspect. This citizen is credited with saving the life of the wounded 23-year-old son of the assailant. One 28-year-old Smith County Deputy Sheriff remains in critical condition with multiple rifle wounds. Other wounded officers were treated and released. The Smith County Courthouse was closed Friday as the investigation continued.
Bald Eagle Death Being Investigated — An Angelina county Game Warden recovered a mature bald eagle on Easter Sunday on an FM road south of Lufkin. It had been run over. The bird was sent to a federal repository in Colorado for an autopsy to make sure it was an accident.
Don't Let Personal Views Lead to Law-Breaking — Game Wardens were inspecting the trapping operation in Sun City when, on two separate occasions, Sun City residents began honking their horn at one of the trap sites to scare the deer away. The wardens stopped the residents and advised that this was illegal under the hunter harassment law as this was a permitted process. The residents were issued warning citations. The wardens then asked the trappers if they could move their trap site so the public would not have easy access to it and to avoid future incidents. The trappers complied, and the rest of the operation went smoothly. Sun City had a permit to remove up to 150 deer by the end of March.
Game Wardens Like to Fish Too — An Aransas County Game Warden was wadefishing in Aransas Bay on a day off recently. The speckled trout were being cooperative, as the game warden was catching a few keeper fish and releasing the undersize schooling fish. A neighboring fisherman not far from him was not being as conservative. The game warden waded his way toward the unsuspecting subject and asked if his day was going all right. The subject stated that everything was just fine as long as the game warden did not show up. A very surprised and very shocked subject got a real close up look at the badge, and the subject now has a date with the Justice of the Peace in Rockport.
Congrats! Wichita County Game Warden Pat Canan was awarded Officer of the Year for Texas at the recent National Wild Turkey Federation Conference. The award was based upon: public relations, positive attitude, professionalism, enthusiasm, dependability and investigative skills.
And More Kudos — Williamson County Game Warden Brad Guinn and Milam County Game Warden Mike Mitchell were presented with Life Saving Awards from the Milam County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2010. The honors recognized their efforts during a flood on Nov. 22, 2004. Guinn and Mitchell had retrieved a woman, her dog, and her horse from rising waters that morning in southwest Milam County.
Big Bust — Galveston County Game Wardens caught a commercial snapper boat in possession of 3,493 pounds of undersize red snapper, or a total of 2,726 undersize fish. While conducting the inspection of the vessel, a hidden compartment was located which contained all of the undersize red snapper and an additional 2,128 pounds of fish, for a total of 5,641 pounds of hidden red snapper. Cases are pending.
Unauthorized Used of TPWD Logo — A Motley County Game Warden received a call from a concerned landowner about a Web site that she had visited. The Web site, advertising a guide service, listed TPWD as a sponsor. Game wardens had previously filed charges on one of the owners of the guide service and his family members related to a scheme to exceed the bag limit on deer. The landowner was wondering why TPWD would sponsor a known violator. TPWD attorneys handled the matter.
"$10 or $19,000 — What's the dif?" — A Cameron County Game Warden completed a boat fraud investigation where two individuals purchased a 33-foot sailboat for $19,000. The subjects reported on the registration paperwork that they had only paid $10 for the vessel. Charges were filed for falsifying state documents and a total of $1,400 was recovered in taxes and penalties.
Boat Busts — Marine Theft investigators have been busy. From December through February, they seized seven personal watercrafts, 10 boats, 11 trailers, and six motors. Of these, five personal watercrafts, four boats, two trailers, and two motors have already been awarded to the department and additional property hearings pending.

More from Tara W.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
The Monster Pro Turbine Gold are high-performance earbud headphones that block out external noise so you can hear every note.
Video TranscriptTara:
I had the chance this weekend to try Monster's Turbine Pro Gold headphones and I was really impressed with the sound quality. I listened to a little country, a little rock, and a little classical music as well. And really what came across to me was that I could hear everything in my music. So from really clear vocals to kind of warm, rich guitar notes everything came through.
And these also come with five different sets of ear buds so you can make sure you get a really snug fit in your ear. And that's great because it allows you to isolate outside sounds. For me I was listening at work so it was great to be able to block everything else out and just concentrate on my music and what I was working on.
If you want more information go to crutchfield.com/MonsterProGold. If you buy from Crutchfield you'll get technical support for as long as you own your headphones. And if you want advice on buying headphones you can always give us a call, e-mail us, or chat with us online.

Twins bullpen continues to pick up starters
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins starters have struggled so far this year with a 5.15 ERA, but the bullpen has been able to pick them up with a 2.37 ERA.
That 2.37 ERA ranks as the sixth-best mark in the Majors, as relievers Glen Perkins, Josh Roenicke, Jared Burton, Brian Duensing, Ryan Pressly and Anthony Swarzak all have ERAs under 3.00.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire isn't surprised, however, as he felt the bullpen would be a strong suit heading into the season.
"Our bullpen has been great," Gardenhire said. "We've mixed and matched. But we feel comfortable with any of them in any situation right now getting up to the eighth and ninth inning. We're able to call on just about any of them to get big outs."

* Prices may differ from that shown
We actually bought this quite a while back after seeing a friend use one, and her then commenting on how useful it was for tacking those really tough cleaning jobs around the house. Earlex seem to make a whole variety of steam cleaners, but the particular model we went for was the 2000W model, known as the Earlex SC125UK13P model, which we bought from a local retailer for £45.
The idea of a steam cleaner is that it will heat up the area you want to clean with steam, which in theory should then allow you to then easily clean that area without too much effort. So tough grime and burnt on stains that you often find on cookers and in ovens should be a breeze to remove with steam cleaning. Hence, purchasing this cleaner seems to have a fair attraction about it to tackle those tough jobs that everyone hates.
So for the money, what do you get? Starting off, you get a small tank with a 4 litre capacity (31cm wide by 21cm high by 21cm deep), into which you put your water. You have a heating element (mains operated) to heat the water in order to create the steam, which then passes out along a long 3.5 metre flexible hose and solid extension tube arrangment to an attachment head. To this head, you can then attach (via a push fit) a number of supplied brushes and pads to allow you to apply the generated steam to the chosen area, and to try to clean away any of the grime removed.
The all important bit is what is it like to use? With a 2000W heater, it will quickly heat the water to steam in a few minutes, and then continue such to give you about 70 minutes of steam from a full tank - so plenty of time to tackle tough jobs before a refill is required, and the 3.5 metre hose and tube assembly gives you a fair reach away from the tank, allowing you to get right up to the ceiling in a room if required without the need to lift the tank. Interestingly, the device itself, in terms of the hose and attachments etc doesn't really get that hot with all the steam passing through it. Everything gets warm, as you would expect, but not so warm as to be difficult to hold them. The only bit that obviously will get hot is where the steam actually comes out of the attachments on to the surface you are cleaning. So overall, it seems to be a fairly safe and easy system to use. The only thing here that I would advise is to ensure that you have your attachments attached to the head before you switch the device on. Once you switch it on and it warms up, the steam will begin to flow from the end of the hose and whilst you can change the attachments in situ when the steam is flowing, you can get a small element of escaping steam in the process, which means there is a small chance that you could burn your hand, not something I have experienced thus far, but something to be aware of just in case.
But how effective is it? Well, to be honest, it is rather good. Interestingly, we originally bought this to tackle the cooker and perhaps the odd carpet stain every now and then, and in those aspects it has proved to be very effective. For the cooker, it is often difficult to get heat into that particular nook or crevice in the oven where the grime builds up on the roof of the oven, and there is only so far you can apply boiling water, which often then rapidly cools. But with this steam cleaner, you can get an attachment onto the required location, apply the steam, and then keep applying the steam to soften up any grease or burnt on stains, and that is the key benefit of a steam cleaner in that you can apply, re-apply and sustain heat to a particular area. Similarly with the carpet, it's ok to pour boiling water on to a stain and then try to scrub it out, but you then end up with quite a wet patch afterwards. With this steam cleaner, you can heat the area with one of the pads without saturating the carpet, and again, keep applying that heat and wiping the area until the stain has gone, leaving you with only a slightly damp carpet.
But where this steam cleaner really gets interesting is when you realise it comes with a variety of brush and pad attachments of various sizes and shapes, and this allowed us to experiment by trying it out on other tasks. We tried it on the tiles in the bathroom with a pad attachment, and it cleaned up the grout between the tiles an absolute treat. Likewise, attacking the mastic seal around the bath with a small brush attachment also achieved good results. With the long stiff extension tubes, you can set it up as a general floor cleaner with a floor pad on the end, and again, it achieves good results on vinyl flooring surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms. A further area that we tried it out on was the BBQ when we dragged it out of the shed in the spring. The grill in particular had some very baked on stains, but again, a combination of steam, wire brushing and some elbow grease managed to get to some good results. Of note, the cleaner also comes with a large pad for use to remove wallpaper, although I haven't managed to test this tool out yet as our walls are all painted.
Negative points? Nothing that I can really think of. For some, it can be a bit of a hassle to get it out, set it all up, fill it with water, heat it, use it, clean it all up and then put it away afterwards. But this is not a device that I would intend or expect to use on a daily basis, more of a cleaner to use once in a while to tackle a particular stain, or to give something like a cooker a really good clean.
In summary, this steam cleaner has proved to be very useful for a wide variety of tasks, and whilst I can see many buying it, using it once and then burying it in the back of a cupboard never to be seen again, if you do appreciate what it can do and how much easier it can make a difficult cleaning task, then you will see that it is worth getting to grips with it and using it on a regular basis. OK, it can be a hassle for some to set up and use, but to me, the benefits of using it greatly outweigh that hassle. Hence, I can give this a 5 star recommendation.
Review also on Ciao under Randal1.
We bought this steam cleaner about five years ago. It lives in its original box in the garage with all its various attachments and only gets some serious action when I take it upon myself to tackle some of those cleaning jobs that we are all guilty of putting off.
It is most often used as an aid to cleaning the inside of the oven in the range cooker - that most thankless of tasks so unloved by almost all of us. I find that provided I clean it on a regular and reasonably frequent basis together with a degreasant, the job is made that much more bearable. The steam cleaner comes with a small but very durable brush which is the best one to use to agitate the grease and loosen it with the steam.
Each attachment has a push on fitment to the main handle which has a moulded plastic protection piece on the side. This ensures that any escaping steam does not go on your hand. To be on the safe side, I generally wear a pair of thin cotton gloves.
The steam cleaning set comprises a main unit which has a water container that you fill to the maximum permitted level as marked. The top of the unit clips onto the base and incorporates a decent length of flexible plastic hose to which you fix your chosen tool.
Once you have switched on the machine at the mains it takes about 10 minutes to work up a head of steam when filled to the Max mark. I have found that it is best to fit your chosen tool before steam starts gushing from the end.
Tool options include a floor cleaning head with extended holder. To this you can add one of two cleaning heads one large and one small over which you fasten one of two washable cleaning mitts. Whilst these get dirty quite quickly they have been washed loads of times and are still usable. We also use an old tea towel as a substitute cloth when we are doing large areas such as floors as it saves you having to wash through the mitts on a frequent basis.
There is also a wallpaper steamer attachment which we have never used and a window cleaning attachment which I use to do the inside of the windows sometimes, although it's a bit fiddly to be always lifting and transporting the cleaner around our many windows.
We lent it to our neighbour a couple of months ago and she used it for tackling areas within her house where her dog was fond of lying and where she had dirtied the carpet with her grubby paws.
I have used it before to clean those difficult to clean areas on car tyres and have also used it on the barbecue, again using the brush attachment and the inside of the rubbish bins. A shot of steam also helps to freshen up car interiors.
Because it has a decent capacity and a wide range of tools, I think every household would benefit from having one. In my opinion they are a much better option than those much smaller hand held steam cleaners. I was not familiar with the Earlex brand before purchasing this and although it get used only once or twice a month on average, it has always proven reliable and effective
I noticed that my local Asda store had some Earlex Steam Cleaners in their half price New Year's Sale - clearly a much newer version than the one I have reviewed here. It could therefore be a good time to invest.
Having got a steam gun a few weeks back, it has *almost* made housework easy and got me wondering how everything got done before its use. Well actually it didn't - many of the cleaning chores required too much elbow grease or cleaning products and didn't get done - however the steam gun can now do these quickly, these are some of its uses: - defrosting freezers - simply blast away the ice that is preventing the doors closing etc. most of the ice instantly evaporates so there is not even pools of water around the place. About 5 minutes defrosted a badly iced-over ice compartment in the freezer. - cleaning tiles - place the steam gun right up against the grouting and blast them, hot water and steam will then force out any dirt between the tiles which can be wiped away - cleaning seals on baths etc - cleans away the stains on the sealant quickly although take care not to remove the sealant itself - burnt saucepans and baking trays - using a steam gun on some of the pans that still had mess on them from my student days many years ago virtually removed all the dirt from them, although this took a bit of elbow grease too. - worktops - very quickly removes any stains - also very good for directing into covers on joins between worktops - all the dirt will then be forced out and can be wiped away - ovens - basically steam cleaning any metallic work surfaces will very quickly restore them to a completely clean surface very quickly if you wipe them with a cloth afterwards. Taps and plugholes also come out sparkling clean although the scale may need a bit more effort to shift. The oven hobs also were almost completely cleaned after a lot of blasting with steam and scrubbing them with a scouring pad. Microwaves are also easy to clean although be careful no to point the jet too close to the paint or it may be taken off and leave the bare metal. - car seats and upholstery - using the upholstry attachment on the
car seats plus a brush in soapy water cleaned several years grime off the car seats very quickly and they were almost as good as new once dried. The same applied to sofas and armchairs too. - car engines and surfaces covered in grime - using a steamgun and a cloth very quickly cleaned out interiors of doors, some parts of the engine that otherwise would have quickly ruined a car sponge. Use the steam gun to loosen the grime and a spare jaycloth to clean it away afterwards - car wheels - the steamgun was very effective at loosening the dirt which could then be scrubbed away. Again this avoided ruining car sponges by getting grease all over them. - car boot - use steam gun to loosen all the muck and then a cloth and vacuum cleaner to remove the mess. Basically all the mess in the boot from taking building materials around and rubbish to the tip was removed very quickly - windows - there is another attachment for window cleaning although I have not used this yet. There is a danger that windows could crack if they are steam cleaned on a cold day. - carpets - certainly a larger steam cleaner could be used for this. As this is just a handheld gun it could be used for certain stains or spills but not a complete floor. The steam gun I use is an Electrolux one that was about £50 from Argos. It has a small tank capacity of about .175 litres, which you fill with a small beaker of about 100cc. It then takes only 2 minutes to heat up and will produce enough steam for a highly pressurised jet for 10 minutes. The only wait is when you have used it up and removed the cap, you then have to wait for it to cool down for a few minutes or else if you pour water straight in it will instantly boil straight back out of the spout and you risk scalding yourself. Fortunately the small size makes it light and easy to use for longer periods of time. The cord is also 4 metres long (it needs to be plugged in all the time when in use) so
can e asily reach around a room. For most of the cleaning the results were very good and the grime and dirt was simply blasted away by the air pressure and steam jets, ready to be wiped away. I have found it invaluable for cleaning away 'set-in' grease and grime and especially good for any metallic surfaces. As it also uses steam the heat will sanitise any surfaces - very useful for kitchens and other such areas. Overall a definite thumbs up.
This a fabulous gadget that every household should have. I would not be without my huge kettle on wheels. It cost me £39.99 and is worth it's weight in gold. It is such a simple but effective idea to have a mobile kettle to clean all around the house. The earlex is a lightweight plastic container with an element inside. It's that simple. There is a lone tube where various attatchments can be added for every kind of job. A jet nozzle to get behind taps, in the oven and even the garden patio. A window sqiggy thingy which wipes away the dirt as you clean and window cleaning takes about 10 minutes. Carpet cleaning whatsit which collects the dirt from your floor as you steam, and a smaller one is provided for the furniture. A funny looking sink unblocking tool looks kinda scary and I have not had the need to use it yet but guess it could be quiet useful. If you need to steam off your wallpaper it has a gadget for this too. You do not add any chemicals into the machine just water which boils sending steam up the steam and out the end. It's quick and easy and I cleaned my whole three peice suit in 20 minutes. I have also cleaned my oven, carpets, spoons, taps, bath and mattress all in one day and they all came up a treat. The only tip I would give to users is that although you cannot use cleaning fluid in the machine it is sometimes useful to apply to the object being cleaned especially if you want to rid ouders. Also do a little patch on the settee and carpet before cleaning the whole lot to make sure it does not discolour them. (I had no problems) Happy steaming to all who take my advice :))

Once you've won the trust of your kind but largely dim-witted new owners you must make every effort to wreak havoc in the name of the cause. It is essential that you maintain cover at all times whilst sabotaging at all corners the family's attempts to 'do housework'. You've got many weapons at your disposal on this one, ladies. You're already equipped you with your own unmistakable odour, but this is a tough assignment and that just isn't going to be enough. Make sure that you moult hair everywhere, track most of the garden back into the 'the family home' with you, eat your dinner on the run (cunningly dropping pieces as you go) and most importantly, if all else fails use your secret weapon, the stealth wee! This little trick has saved the lives of many a secret agent in distress, I can tell you. A well-placed wee in a cunning spot has got many an agent out of a tight corner (or sometimes into one). Behind the TV, next to the armchair and under the kitchen table are just some of the places your fellow operatives have deployed this tactic to great effect. Mokee... Skittle... This isn't an easy assignment, but we know you can do it. Good luck, baby puppies, the good name of all dogdom rests upon you shoulders... ...Hm, I know that an opinion about a steam cleaner is never going to be THAT exciting, but I will
try my absolute best not to put you to sleep during this one, honest! I purchased my Earlex steam cleaner from Argos about six months ago, and I can honestly say that I wouldn't part with it now for love nor money (well, OK then, I would probably part with it if you offered me more money than I'd paid for it, but I'm a sucker for a profit!) But seriously, the Earlex is a very basic machine, it looks like something your Gran might've been using thirty years ago, but it is absolutely worth it's weight in gold and I bless the day that mine was unceremoniously dumped on my doorstep by the Argos delivery man! I decided to buy this item after reading an excellent opinion about it on this very site. I'd been considering investing in a Polti as the efforts of my two adorable, but incredibly mucky canines had left my once pristine beige carpets with an attractive 'mottled' effect. Wee stains battled for space with muddy paw prints and other unmentionable brown stuff that I'd rather not dwell upon for fear of upsetting the more delicate among you! Not forgetting, of course, hubby's effort to join in the dogs attempts at carpet decoration with some artfully scattered cigarette ash (rubbed in) and splashes of Coca Cola! However, the one thing that made me stop to catch my breath before rushing out and grabbing the first steam cleaner I clapped my beady little eyes on was the totally prohibitive cost! I hadn't looked any further than Polti at the time, and was shocked that a steam cleaner was likely to cost me almost double what I'd paid for my ever practical and much-loved Dyson vacuum cleaner, and I'd been put off for ages by the price of that! So, for me, the Earlex was a Godsend, everything I needed at a price I could afford, smashing! OK, first things first, the Earlex steam cleaner is a very basic, no frills piece of equipment. If you do decide to purchase one of these, please don
9;t expect that when you open the box you'll find something shiny and glamorous with all of the bells and whistle's you'd expect on a (considerably) more expensive steam cleaner, this ain't no Polti, I can assure you! However, this is entirely reflected in the purchase price. The Earlex is currently on sale on www.argos.co.uk (not that I'm suggesting this is the only place you can buy it!) for the paltry sum of £44.75! An absolute bargain considering the cheapest polti Vaporetto I could find when doing a quick search of www.shopsmart.co.uk costs a staggering £339.95 from www.tesco.com Ouch! First thing I did after tearing open the box of my new Earlex was wish I hadn't! I was shocked by just how basic the Earlex looks (and actually is, it's no more than a large kettle with a handle on top and a large hole where you can attach the hose!). More importantly, the only thing in the cardboard box is the cleaner and accoutrement's. I had quite naively expected that any tools/hoses etc that the Earlex arrived with would fit neatly and compactly onto some storage device supplied with it. The only storage device with the Earlex is the cardboard box it comes in, and trying to fit everything back into that box after you've raved it all over your living room carpet is no mean feat, I can assure you! (Especially when, like me, you've ripped the box apart in your haste to get in to it!) Once I'd dragged everything out of the box I immediately started putting the whole thing together. After all, who needs instructions?!! Erm, well, I did actually, and you probably will too! The following information is stolen directly from the Argos website and tells you exactly what the Earlex comes supplied with: For use throughout home, garden, caravan and car. 2000 watt boiler element provides fast 16 mins steam up time. 5 litre boiler allows up to 90 mins continuous use. 3.65m cool-touch hose an
d 2m mains cable. Kit includes: Carpet cleaner for use on carpet, vinyl, cork, stone and parquet floors. Attachment for removing dust, film and greasy marks from windows and tiles. Jet nozzle with brush and scraper for cleaning cookers, garden equipment and work surfaces. Even defrosts freezers in mins. Long handle attachment for use when cleaning floors and hard to reach areas. Large lightweight transparent steam plate for stripping wallpaper and a small steam plate for upholstery cleaning. (Well, they put it so much more succinctly than I would!) Once I'd rescued the instructions from behind the sofa and put the Earlex and attachments together properly it was time to start to use it. First the kettle needs to be filled with water. The sixteen minutes steam up time mentioned above is if you use cold water, this time can be significantly reduced if you fill the kettle with hot water straight from the tap, I do this and it usually takes about four to five minutes to heat up. When using the Earlex on carpets the cleaning attachment is covered with what looks to me very much like a terry dish-cloth. What's great about the Earlex is that the manufacturers don't claim that you have to buy their 'special' dishcloths to use the machine, any old terry nappies, or similar material will do just as good a job, as long as they're cleaned thoroughly before use, of course! I bought some bargain dishcloths from a £1 shop and they work just as well as the cloth supplied with the cleaner. The great benefit of the cloths for me is that they not only pick up dirt, the longish pile and steam combine to create the perfect conditions for picking up all those stray dog hairs the Dyson manages to miss and rolling them up into convenient hair-balls which are incredibly easy to remove from the cleaner afterwards. When the steamer is ready to use the carpet cleaning attachment is lightly st
roked over the surface of the carpet (no strenuous scrubbing, which I'd been expecting). The first time I steamed my averagely sized living room carpet it took a little over an hour for two good going overs. I steamed the carpet twice because the first time I steamed it it didn't look any different afterwards! I steamed it again and it still didn't look any different, so I gave up and put the cleaner away muttering unrepeatable things under my breath all the while! Of course, what I hadn't fully considered was that this is a steam cleaner, not a vacuum cleaner (I can be a bit dim like that, sometimes!). It works by releasing steam into the carpet which loosens the dirt, the dirt is then picked up by the cloth. This surprised me when I first used the machine, as I'd been somewhat naively expecting something more akin to a Vax, somehow combining cleaning chemicals and steam to wash the carpet, this obviously is not how the Earlex works, using only steam from pure, clear water without a chemical in sight! A couple of hours later, when the carpet had been allowed plenty of time to dry I have to admit that the Earlex had worked wonders! The carpet looked cleaner, brighter and lighter and even felt softer and somehow bouncier underfoot. Of course, the Earlex is not a stain remover, so the darker and more stubborn stains were still there, if considerably less prominently! The Earlex is supplied with lots of other attachments. All are easy to use and clean effectively. I've tried cleaning windows, work surfaces, kitchen cupboards, vinyl flooring, etc. All with excellent effects, I don't have any wallpaper in my house at the moment so using the wallpaper stripper has eluded me so far, but I'm sure I'll manage it one day! I have to admit though that the carpet cleaning attachment is not only what attracted me to this product in the first place, it is also, in my humble opinion, the most effective and most useful att
achment out of all of them, it is certainly the attachment most used in my house! I tend to give my carpets a good steaming every month or two when I seriously can't stand wading through the filth anymore! Although the Earlex is never going to be as effective as having your carpets professionally cleaned, it is excellent at what it does, leaving you with noticeably cleaner and brighter carpets after use, with the added benefit of reducing and often eliminating any smells. Living with a smoker and two little girls of the canine variety I find that nasty niffs are often prevalent in my humble abode. These can be dramatically reduced with a swift going over with the Earlex, just one piece of advice, though, be careful where you position your face when steaming carpets. A face full of steam is not only potentially dangerous, but can be extremely unpleasant if you happen to be steaming a patch of carpet which has previously been sprinkled with eau de dog urine... ...So, Secret Agents Skittle Bond and 00-Mo, your arch enemy 'Earlex' has foiled your dastardly plan for house ruination this time, (it would have worked if it wasn't for that pesky steam!) Better luck next time, Baby Puppies! This opinion will self destruct in five seconds... 5, 4, 3, 2...
Having deliberated for a long time over whether or not to purchase a steam cleaner for use around the house, I took the plunge a few weeks ago whilst walking through a major store and spotted the Earlex on special offer. I was finally persuaded to buy one by my husband who said that there would be loads of uses for it (including no less for his car!!) I decided that I would first try to clean our old tired suite - I was amazed at how much cleaner it was. I then found that I was hooked on this machine and went about the house like a mad woman trying out all the attachments (except the wallpaper stripper) hubby does not want to do any decorating yet!!. I decided to tackle the inside of the oven after yet another gourmet disaster had burnt over. Imagine my surprise when the burnt on goo just melted away. Next came the bathroom tiles - the results on these was not quite as I had expected but they were definately cleaner. Then I decided to try the steamer on the artexed walls, the result was shock horror that so much grime could have accumulated into the grooves of the artex. With the help of a cloth the walls are now clean. Last friday night my son picked up a friends sister who was the worst for drink and yes the inevitable happened and she was ill in the back of the car - yes Earlex came to the rescue. I sprayed some disinfectant onto the offending mess then steam cleaned the seat and carpet. I then proceeded to clean the whole of the upholstery in both his and hubby's cars. My son who is a carpet fitter reckons that he will be using it for uplifting tiles. He has got to prise it out of my hands firs. Excellant product.
This Guildford-built cleaning/stripping package represents the slow evolution of Earlex's product range. Crude and simple. Basically, the boiler is a lightweight circular kettle (with the same type of element as an old-fashioned model, in its base). It has no additional lights or switches - which would represent additional expense, flair and effort for a medium-sized UK company with apparently little interest in investing in R&D. The unit has no castors or wheels and this puts a strain on the rather crude and stiff hose which is fragile and looks as though it could easily be damaged by accidentally standing on it - or perhaps, by jerking the full steamer across a floor (no base mouldings for easy movement across carpets or rough ground). The makers warn users about the machine's hot base and possible damage to surfaces. They even suggest resting the appliance on a board to reduce possible surface damage - crude or what? They could have reduced this problem by designing a greater space below and/or using glides. But then, this is a totally utilitarian beast - without any low water warning or switches etc. I owned an original Earlex over a decade ago and there are no visible improvements. This is sad. You don't even get a hook point for the machine or a basic tool caddy to store the bits and pieces which accompany it and could get lost around the house. The attachments supplied represent a similar - lack of thought philosophy - being simple and crude in design (with expensive spares). The instructions supplied are also basic and quite insufficient. There are no hints and tips and many users might damage woollen carpets and upholstery because there are no fabric guides. I remember cracking a window pane with my old model. So you have to guess and proceed through trial and error. The heat-up time for the 4.5 litre tank is average and also inconvenient - once again, better design could have reduced this, as heating a wide area from the centre is not ef
ficient and new heating plates could have been integrated into a totally new design. Changing tools is equally problematic for a 21st century device. There is no pressure indicator (as on a pressure cooker) - this is obviously too complex for the team at Earlex to contemplate. The only improvement I've noticed is a new comfortably sculpted pressure knob design. Overall, it works but you have to keep thinking and watching out for safety issues. The main unit even has the same paper labels which deteriorate after use and spoil the appliance's appearance rapidly. So, this is no Polti and it is basically a kettle with lightweight hose and steam outlets. The price is loosely appropriate. If you can find a place to store it and it's pieces for occassional use - the machine represents reasonable value. It is sad that this machine represents British technology in the 21st century - peaking at second world levels.
After just one or two uses (and there are many of them), you'll wonder why you didn't get one sooner. I have been using the 'Combisteam' cleaning kit for the past couple of weeks and can tell you it is absoloutly marvellous. The steamer can be found in most DIY and large department stores and can be bought in a variety of packages from the basic steamer with one or two accesories, including a wallpaper stripper plate, to a full package (as I have) that includes attatchments for just about any job you can do with a steamer. It is worth getting a steamer with as many accesories as possible because buying them separetly later is more costly. The main unit holds approx. 4.5 litres (8 pints) of water which heats up in about 19 mins thanks to a 2200W heating element, and this will give up to 2 hours continuous steaming. Less water will heat up quicker and give a shorter steaming time. So it's your choice. As well as the large plate (wallpaper stripping) some of the accesories available include: *small steam plate-for awkward areas *carpet and upholstery tool *jet nozzle-inc. brush and scraper-for defrosting the freezer etc. *window/tile cleaner *heat shields for various accesories There are 101 uses for this equipment, since having mine I have cleaned 2 carpets, de-greased the engine bay of my car, de-frosted my freezer, prepared a room for decorating, removed stains from my three piece suite, cleaned my cooker and the utensils used with same, all with very good results. I can't speak for the results of using the window tool because I haven't tried it yet but I can tell you it cleans tiles a treat. A word of caution though- the steam is obviously very hot, being generated at 100 deg C, but there isn't an on/off switch on the unit so it has to be switched off at the wall socket, not a major problem but you need to be aware of where the steam is blowing as you m
ove around such as when bending down to switch off etc. Also when the unit first reaches opperating temperature and producing steam it is usual for hot drips to come out of the end of the hose for a few seconds-advisable to keep small children and pets away. Some fabrics such as Dralon or delicate fabrics will not stand up to 100 degree steam so caution is advised. With a 3m (10ft) mains lead and a 3.6m (12ft) hose accesability around the home is good and it will even stretch to my car parked on the drive if plugged in the hallway. All in all this is a very good, versatile kit and good value for money esp. with the accesories in the kit. I wouldn't be without mine now.
I recently redecorated my house, and thought of hiring a steam stripper until I came across the Earlex steam cleaner. It is brilliant, not only does it come with a stripping attachment, but it also has various nozzles and attachments for other purposes. I cleaned my curtains yesterday in the living room whilst they were hung and they came up brilliant, it's surprising the dirt they hold. The cleaner has a large water container which you fill, it heats up and then generally constantly boils to generate steam which feeds up the rubber pipe through the attachment. For the price it is brilliant, I may try the car next, I did the cooker last week it was so much easier no scrubbing at all just use the cloth attachment (you need to replace the cloths). Just a word of warning, remember steam comes from boiling water so don't steam directly over your head you'll burn yourself.
The Earlex complete steam cleaning kit!!! Wow!!! this really is great value for money, compared to other steam cleaners the price of this steam cleaner can not be beaten. Use throughout the home and garden!!! It comes with all the attachments needed, it is lightweight and easy to assemble. Also a 3.65m cool touch hose and 2m mains cable, enables you to reach those difficult places. In america they are well ahead of the uk for using this method of cleaning. It is said that not only is this an environmentally friendly way to clean but because you are using such a high temperture you are killing bacteria and other germs. No detergents are needed just water and that makes it even cheaper to use. This steamer has a water capacity of 5 litres giving you 90 minutes of continuous use if you wish or you can use less water if you require a shorter cleaning time. With a 2000 watt element you will be ready to start steaming in just 16 minutes!! less if you do not fill to the maxium level with water. You will be amazed at what you can use the steamer for i.e carpets flooring cooker sinks bathroom toilet ( a job we all hate) defrosting freezer wallpaper stipping windows the car garden equipment The list is endless, many will find another use each time they use it. One important point is to remember that the steam reaches such high tempertures so use sensibly. The manufactures have taken this into consideration and the attachments include saftey features. Also this is a great way to clean windows but "please" remember to account for the temperture outside and in, as a cold frosty window will not tolerate such heat!!! Use in the right way and you will wond
er how you mananged without it!!!

Topic: Update about Mom
Hello friends
Mom is at this point done with chemo. The doctor says no more for now at least as it is becoming more problematic than helpful. Her blood work has been consistently out of whack with her white cells going lower and lower and the platelets on a steady decline as well. Doctor is worried that the adverse effects will become a major issue if she continues the chemo.
She had scans on Wednesday of this week and we will get those results on Thursday of this coming week. She's been doing pretty well over all so I feel confident the scans will be okay.
I will let you know what we find out if you could toss out a prayer or 2 I would really appreciate it
Hugs to all

retrofuturist wrote:Greetings Craig,
My perspective is that the Abhidhamma Pitaka constitutes a Dhamma Theory that attempts to systemise the teachings of the Buddha (as recorded in the Sutta Pitaka) in such a way that they capture the technical essence of the teachings without reference to conventional concepts or references to self. Quite possibly it was a reaction to heretical monks and rival early schools who insisted on the existence of some kind of atta, puggala etc. In turn, the Abhidhamma would be classified as Buddha Word because it was well spoken.
Origins aside, I think it's a very valuable and complementary tool for understanding the doctrines of anatta and anicca. My concerns about it are when it extends beyond the scope of the suttas, presumably to fill certain gaps in a well-rounded and comprehensive Dhamma Theory that couldn't be satisfactorily answered by the suttas alone. Using the Simsapa Sutta as a guide, I believe that things that the Buddha didn't teach can be safely left to one side, so whilst I find the Abhidhamma interesting and insightful, it doesn't play a central role in my practice or understanding of the Dhamma.

I take a couple ideas (Gill, for example) to be facetious. However, there are some valid comments IMO.Originally Posted by Robertmto
I agree w/ your HS characterization of the team and the individual agendas. This much was confirmed by some players (see AJ) in the elimination post-game press conference.
I don't absolve RC from any responsibility, but the players have to be willing to work on this also. I say they all must share accountability for the poor team concept.
The trade you propose does not excite me as a whole, however, I actually like Etan Thomas in general. The issue is his durability and that would scare me off.
Still, he would add size, athleticism, agressiveness, and shot-blocking ability at our C (until he got injured of course). I'd much rather have him than Haywood who IMO will never amount to anything near the potential of his physical prowess.
Finally, I don't think JO is soft. I do think he is overpaid relative to the impact he has as our annoited franchise main man and our team's recent performance.
With the exception of the 37 point outburst game, he did not dominate NJ whatsoever. He played a solid series which would have translated into an effective series if he had a true main man on the team with him allowing him to play the role that most suits him-dominant in a supporting (#2 guy) role. Or even the 1B denomination if that's more palatable to the JO die hards.
Finally a poster without the blinders on!

It's a myth, that people buy into, just like adding bulk is supposed to limit your range of motion.
I'll throw this in as well, a direct quote from one of my profs. who I've mentioned several times and who happens to be a consultant for the Spurs.
"Periodization involves shifting training priorities from non-sport-specific activities of high volume and low intensity to sport-specific activities of low volume and high intensity over a period of many weeks to prevent overtraining and optimize performance. Lifting prevents sport overtraining, injuries, and optimizes performances."

It's still called living in reality, and not just throwing out some random trade because it benefits your team.
And if you didn't think you'd catch some flak after that "trade" on the opposing teams forum, then obviously you aren't living in reality.
You can call him Donnie
Actually I dont have any blinder on.
But when you try to tell me that Artest is a character guy, and the only guy who we should keep is GIll and maybe Danny, then I know you either A. have no clue what you are talking about or B.are just here to cause trouble. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say C. you were just joking, but you seem to be serious so far.
D - a loyal fan of Artest. And i hope he's a better person than what he showed in IndyOriginally Posted by vapacersfan
Fixed.Originally Posted by Robertmto
He is not, he has blown up on every team he has been on, and he totally ruined our star players last season and blew up this season.
But hey, why not be loyal to the guy.
I cant wait till he blows up, again, on the Kings.
Um, about Danny. Let me ask this. When Danny was in the game with Peja and guarding Vince, what position do you guys think he was actually playing? I've said it before and I've said it again, I don't get why the position thing has to be so rigid. We just have to come up with a better defensive plan to cover whoever Peja has to guard or what not.
But that isn't always locked in. Jordan was the post offense for the Bulls, Lebron runs the offense for Cleveland, mostly, etc. It's all matchups - but you do need to be aware of where a guy is best suited to play and construct your team with that in mind. I'd hate to think the Pacers are going into the offseason thinking, "We should work at keeping Peja but we can get rid of Jax and not worry about getting a guard because Danny can start at SG next season."
That would be bad.
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
Yep, and it scares me that the PTB are even considering it! My gosh, he is one of our best rebounders NOW, as a rookie and skinny. Dang decent shot blocker too. I have to reconsider my opinion of PTB talent evaluation if they try to make a guard out of this guy. Yeh he's a very good defender, but just like Artest it will WEAR HIM OUT if he's chasing much smaller and faster guards around the perimeter.
It would seem obvious that they intend to resign Peja to even consider this. I would much prefer to sign and trade Peja for a REAL 2 guard and let Danny dominate the 3 minutes.
I've posted it a dozen times, but no one has yet offered a decent opinion as to why it could not be done.
With a decent defensive PG, why can't Peja play the 2 and Danny the 3? When necessary, Danny could defend the 2. And, the very few opponents that are dominant at both 2 and 3, then AJ could play the two with Danny and Peja splitting minutes at 3.
But I do agree that Danny playing both ends of the floor at 2 is not the best way to go when Peja is on the roster.
It would be necessary for him to guard most 2's, Peja sure couldn't run with them.
At least one big problem with that, if Dannys in the paint trying to get offensive rebounds (where I want him), then how's he going to get back on defense against a 2 guard that was defending on the perimeter? The 2's got a 15 or 20' headstart. Run out.

I think this thread is a good idea, but perhaps 2-3 weeks premature. Does the "patience will right the ship" choice mean that we should "T.O." Artest and get nothing for him? Does the "one good trade" option include the Artest trade or not? I apologize if I too dense to realize that this was explained.
On to my thoughts of the team:
Every great team at it's core needs 3 players of "impact" and at least 4 other players that know exactly what their job is and know how to do the job without fail. The (minimum) 3 central players are like a tripod. It's stable and strong. Take one leg away, and it doesn't stand up.
The team was rotten at the center the day we traded for Ron Artest. That's hindsight talking. In 02-03 I thought he was a knucklehead. In 03-04 I came around to like him until the post season stories came out. Then it all went to hell and we've suffered a year and a half without the proper foundation on our house.
On the dark side:
Jermaine Oneal cannot be our only star. Not even Shaq, Garnett or Duncan can pull that off, let alone JO. We need a major complimentary star, and we need one badly. It disappointed me to read today that Donnie does not want to do a mega-trade that includes 3-4 Pacers. That told me that he isn't going to bring in a talent the likes of which we need.
On the bright side:
I still think this is a 50 win team. The majority of NBA fans out there are fans of teams that will not reach that mark. For that reason, we are very lucky.
What I would do:
I would trade for a mid-carreer star, preferably a 2-guard, but I'll take a point guard also. Pick one, but it has to be a name. I would pay any price but Granger, Harrison, JO and Sarunas. I would also trade for a very high draft pick. That's right - two major trades.
Those four men listed above should be starting (or at least they should be getting HEAVY minutes) along with our new star shooting guard. Croshere coming off the bench with 20-24 minutes at PF is not a bad idea. I think that this can all happen without dropping below 45 games won. Those guys could clobber the weaker teams and steal wins from upper-level teams.
Then, over the summer, I would trade Jermaine O'Neal while he's still young, healthy and desirable and really start over. He's one more shoulder dislocation from becoming the next Alan Houston with that contract, and I fear our future with him more than I fear our future without him.

Obviously not my son. But rather the writer of this article's son.
I have zero tolerance for drunk and or obnoxious fans. I mean zero tolerance. (makes me sick to my stomach when I see a father sitting with his younger son or daughter or even a young teenager and the father is berating the ref or opposing player, and sure enough the kid starts berating the ref. I want to turn around and berate the father.
But is this mother overreacting? I don't know. Although I have never sat above the second row of the balcony, I hardly think, "Pacers games can turn into bacchanalias, suggesting they're not places for kids". As it states oin the article. I consider pacers games to be very kid friendly overall. Hope he goes to another game soon and becomes even a bigger fan.
If you're a sports fan, you'd enjoy talking to my seven-year-old son. For the past year, he's insisted each morning on reading The Star's sports section (proving the paper can appeal to younger readers). Wherever we go, he chats with fans about their favorite team's numbers, stats and schedules.
Since he's caught the sports bug, we've attended our share of Indiana Fever and Indianapolis Indians games, where he sits rapt. So when we saw that his school was hosting a Spirit Night at the Pacers game, we knew there'd be no way around it.
Friday night found us near the rafters of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, my son cheering and calling the players by their first names. He absentmindedly downed a hot dog and chips and did not even bother to badger me for the rainbow ice treat that his friend next to him scored.
Shortly before halftime came to a close, I had turned to my right to tend to my fidgeting younger son when I heard a commotion. I whipped my head around to my older son's side. But instead of seeing my son, there was a large man draped over the seats.
It took a good five seconds of heart-pounding fear to realize my son was underneath the bulk.
"HEY! YOU'RE ON MY SON," I screeched.
A giggle erupted from the mass as the bozo slowly unpeeled himself. My son looked up, blood pouring from his mouth. At least, my first thought was, he's conscious.
"My toooooth, my tooooth," he screamed.
Now I will confess that my child can be prone to exaggeration when it comes to injury. So at first, I told myself, he just bit his lip, and it's bleeding a little. Then my husband and I got a closer look.
Blood was pouring from his mouth and he was clutching his face moaning. Drama king or no, this was serious.
Rocking back and forth, wailing, my son was too terrified to let us get a good look at his mouth. By some bizarre stroke of fortune, we were sitting next to a friend and her mother who is a dental student.
"Does he have any permanent teeth?" she asked, urging the people in front of us to look for the tooth in case it was an adult tooth.
Meanwhile, the man who had tumbled down stood awkwardly at the end of the row with his buddy, staring at us.
"Gee, I'm sorry," he started to say.
But we were not interested in his feeble apologies. We tended to our son, and by the time I looked up again, he had disappeared and security was there.
My husband took my son to the bathroom to wash out his mouth to get a better look, and an EMT provided an ice pack. By that point we ascertained it was a baby tooth that had fallen out, destined to be lost in the stands forever. Other than some serious bruising and a fat lip, my son was fine physically.
But he was jarred emotionally. "Why did that happen? Why did that happen?" he asked over and over again, as we slowly made our way to the exit, our desire for the game dampened.
Really, we had no good answer. Everyone who has heard the story immediately says, "the guy was drunk." To be honest, checking the guy's inebriation status was not top of our mind.
Still, it is hard to believe that a grown man would have just fallen down one row — or more likely two as there no one was sitting behind us — without some alcohol involved, especially since my son had a recollection that the bozo and a friend were wrestling just before he toppled.
At the end of the day, we know we were incredibly lucky. My son's head, rather than his mouth and face, could have knocked into the seat, causing a concussion. The guy could have fallen on a smaller child and possibly broken bones.
Or, the guy himself might have suffered some more serious damage, had his fall not been cushioned by, well, my son.
The most frustrating thing, as my son quickly deduced, was that this all could have been avoided, had the guy and his friend used some commonsense. Nor is it the first time this season that an innocent fan has been wounded by another ticket holder.
A woman attending the Colts-Broncos game at Lucas Oil Stadium in October had to be taken to hospital by ambulance after another fan fell on her, sending her tumbling over her seat until she hit her head two rows down. The man was arrested but prosecutors decided against filing charges.
In our case, I know the guy meant no harm. He was just being goofy. But he was also dumb.
Sporting events shouldn't be mistaken for bars. People have warned us that Pacers games can turn into bacchanalias, suggesting they're not places for kids.
The prospect of my kids overhearing a few curses or off-color language wouldn't deter me. Besides, this was supposed to be a school spirit night, so I figured if any night would be family friendly this would be it.
"Did you think this would happen?" my son quizzed me on the way home.
"Of course not," I answered, realizing this was not a good lesson for all of the times I warn him and his brother that bad things will ensue if they do not desist in whatever dangerous behavior they are engaged in at the time.
When we got home, my son penned a note to the tooth fairy. "I lost lost my tooth," he wrote (to distinguish, he explained, from a simple loss of a tooth), "when a guy fell on me at the Pacers' game." Dubious about the tooth fairy, my son thought that everyone was looking for his tooth at the game to give it to her, so he figured he'd tuck a note under his pillow just in case.
The tooth fairy clearly felt pretty rotten there isn't more she can do to control random accidents at sporting events. She left $20, a largesse that he will hopefully remember as long as he remembers his first professional basketball game.

INTEREST in history is alive and kicking in Winchester judging by the lack of empty seats in the Guildhall.
In the week that the discovery of King Richard III was confirmed and national newspapers caught up four months late on the Chronicle story that the bones of King Alfred could be exhumed, a sell-out audience enjoyed 1871 And All That… or The Way We Were, hearing an archaeologist, historian and cartographer make sense of the rich seam that is Winchester history.
Prof Martin Biddle spoke about the impending publication of the 'map that never existed' a reproduction of what the city looked like in 1800. So how do you reproduce a map that never existed?
Simple: "The basis was the 1871 Ordnance Survey map but we wanted to show the city in 1800 so all the elements added after 1800 were removed. But the buildings that we knew had existed in 1800 but demolished by 1871 were put in the map. It is complicated but it produces a very fine map indeed," he said.
Prof Biddle is best-known locally for his archaeological research in Winchester city centre from 1961-71. As well as director of Winchester Research Unit he is also chairman of the Historic Towns Atlas Trust which is producing books on cities such as York, Oxford and Windsor.
The Winchester atlas is due out later this year with A3-sized maps from Roman times to nearly the present day. Among many things, it will show how the current street system is based not on the Roman city but from about 900, the Alfredian era; the post-medieval decline as hop gardens filled the city; the Royal Winchester of 1682-85 when Charles II hired Sir Christopher Wren to design a palace to rival Versailles. Only part was built before Charles' death and it later became Peninsula Barracks. The building was aligned with the cathedral and Charles planned a grandiose avenue to link the two. He also wanted a giant park stretching from the city centre to what is now Stanmore and St Cross.
Prof Biddle paid tribute to Roger Brown, who was in the audience, for his "marvellous model" of Winchester in 1871 which is in the Great Hall until February 16. To applause he called for the model to be put on permanent display.
Taking on the 1871 theme Mark Allen, senior history lecturer at Winchester University, spoke about his analysis with Tom Beaumont James into the people living in the city at that census.
The city had 17,301 residents living in 3,164 properties; the major institutions being the barracks, the workhouse, Winchester College, diocesan training college, refuge for fallen women and the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
Winchester was expanding fast, growing from around 6,000 in 1801 to nearly 20,000 in 1871. Fulflood was spreading out in the Greenhill Road area (No 'Save Greenhill Group' to stop them in those days).
Dr Allen has studied every scribble of the census and the information often conceals as much as it reveals. Did a weaver work for himself or employ 30,000? Did a clerk work for a firm of solicitors or a greengrocer?
The three most common occupation groups were industrial (labourers or small manufacturers), domestic servants (mainly women) and professionals in local government, the law, the clergy and teaching (men).
Two-thirds of the population was Hampshire-born, a third in Winchester itself. There were less than 40 people born in France, Italy and Germany. Few people were born in Sussex or Surrey. The lure of London was too great, suggests Dr Allen.
Giles Darkes, cartographic editor at the British Historic Towns Atlas, spoke about the problems of producing historic maps, marrying the problem of a mass of information, a lack of space with the need for clarity. He said: "Maps are essentially an agreed set of lies."
The evening was organised by Winchester Excavations Committee. Wrapping up the event,Cllr Therese Evans called on people to join the 'Friends of Winchester Studies' to help finalise the publication of the information gleaned from the archaeological digs stretching back to the 1960s.
The Winchester Mint was the most recent but three are due for publication soon: on Winchester Castle, the population of early Winchester and the Anglo-Saxon ministers of Winchester.

"The degree of one's emotions varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts." --Bertrand Russell
The news media is very excited about the Dow Jones Industrial Average hitting 14,000 for the first time since 2007. Individual investors, not so much.
Ever since the market bottom in March 2009, we have had a series of very strong V-shaped rallies. At least a half dozen times we have had multi-month, straight-up moves that looked like they would never stop. Shorts get squeezed and underinvested bulls can't catch up.
What is most interesting about these moves is how little excitement they have produced among individual investors. The response is that it is just another manipulated move produce by the Fed and the computers and really has nothing to do with the health of the economy and individual interest in the stock market.
The latest move has been a little different in that regard. There have been sizable inflows into equity funds and there is talk that, although the economic recovery is still painful slow, we are at least going in the right direction and confidence is returning.
The bears have the same response they always have: the market is simply ignoring a slew of negatives again and there will be a day of reckoning. They have been wrong about this for nearly four years, but with so many people still suffering from the fallout of the Great Recession, the idea that the market is misleading has great intellectual appeal.
The one great lesson of the market over the last four years is not to look for reasons to fight the trend. That has been the single biggest mistake you can make and it is very easy to make if you apply common sense. There are so many reasons, technical and fundamental, to think the market can't keep running, but they simply haven't mattered.
What I find most challenging about the market is that we so seldom have the level of excitement among traders that I have associated with past trends. There is talk about bullishness and hopes that the market is finally moving on to a new stage that will attract those who have forsaken it, but I see few signs of the interest prior to the 2008-09 crash.
The best way to deal with this is to maintain a positive bias until there is clear change in the price action. You can't be too anticipatory or you will be burned just like the bears were on Friday.
Riding a trend isn't as easy as it sounds, but it sure pays much better than constant top-calling. You can find good reasons to battle the bulls, but the simple fact of the matter is that they are winning and we need to stick with them.
Oracle (ORCL) is buying Acme Packet (APKT) and that is helping to spike some tech names, but we have a mixed start this morning as it looks like traders are a bit hungover from the Super Bowl.

I think its time I take a leap of faith and attempt to sell my goods at a local craft fair! I sort of hate the term "craft fair" as it sounds like a bunch of knick-knacks made out of macaroni and popsicle sticks. BUT what can you do? This particular event will be held on December 4th in Florence, Kentucky. Yes, I realize that's two hours from me, but its minutes from my sisters home, so she'll be my assistant... and my mom also agreed to come and take care of Eli! I'll get a 10'x10' area to set up my domain, and hopefully have a fun day!
This would be my FIRST EVER craft fair and I have absolutely no idea what I'm getting myself into! Therefore - I need your advice! If you've ever participated in such an event, please share your top tips for success! I know I need lots of business cards, a visually appealing setup, a large variation of price points... what else?
These two lovely little stroller quilts may just be the first to go in my CRAFT FAIR pile... I'm also thinking of:
a few lap quilts
a few baby quilts
security blankies
burp cloths
coin purses
mug rugs
sewing machine covers
tea towels

A Happy and Fun Home by Ann Pyne
Designer Alexander Doherty updated a 1911 apartment in Manhattan with "a color story." A pair of 1920s Regency-style armchairs add graceful curves to the living room.
Walls are painted Pavilion Gray and the trim is Lamp Room Gray, both from Farrow & Ball. A blue-and-white Qing dynasty lamp and a 20th-century painting by Michael McGuigan, behind the piano, reflect the owners' wide-ranging connoisseurship. Throw by Frette.

Before I start the tour, I do want to thank a couple of people. I live in a 95 year old house in the middle of Salt Lake City, and in 1998 I had the entire house completely gutted and remodeled. If it wasn't for my amazingly talented brother-in-law Kelly, who did all the work for me, and my generous sister Pam, who let him work for me so long at discount rates, I'd never have been able to afford such a great kitchen. I'll always be grateful to them.
Just off the kitchen is my office, which you get to by going down this little hall which has my washer and dryer, plus shelves where I'm assembling quite a collection of "blog dishes." These are the dishes I use in the food photos on Kalyn's Kitchen.
Don't forget January 9 is the last day to send Ilva your kitchen photo link if you're planning to show your kitchen to the world!
Weekend Herb Blogging recap #64 will be posted tonight. Send your entry to kalynskitchen AT comcast DOT net by 3:00 today, Utah time. Here are the Rules for Weekend Herb Blogging.
Voting is open for the 2006 Food Blog Awards where Kalyn's Kitchen is a finalist for Best Food Blog - Theme. I'm truly touched by all the nice messages I've gotten from people wishing me well or telling me they've voted for me. Here are links to all the nominated sites and where to vote.

More Urgent Action Needed by New York State Lupus Community
The NYS Lupus Tax Check-off bill still needs your urgent attention! This bill would list lupus as a tax check-off box on the NYS Tax Return to receive funds for lupus programs.
Please share with your friends, family, colleagues and anyone else appropriate. Thank you.
It is critical that calls be made Tuesday and Wednesday to both Chairs of the Senate Rules Committee, Senator Dean Skelos at 518-455-3171 and Tom Libous at 518-455-2677. Thank you. Please leave a message if you get voicemail.
When you call: "State your name, how lupus affects you, and ask Senators Skelos and Libous to please put S-2777, the Lupus Taxpayer Check-off bill, on the Rules agenda and move it to the floor for a vote."
This is another way we can make a real difference!
