When the stock market crashed in 1929, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. held a $91 million, 24-year lease on a piece of midtown Manhattan property properly known as "the speakeasy belt." Plans to gentrify the neighborhood by building a new Metropolitan Opera House on the site were dashed by the failing economy and the business outlook was dim. Nevertheless, Rockefeller made a bold decision that would leave a lasting impact on the city's architectural and cultural landscape. He decided to build an entire complex of buildings on the property-buildings so superior that they would attract commercial tenants even in a depressed city flooded with vacant rental space. The project would express the highest ideals of architecture and design and stand as a symbol of optimism and hope.
The search for a commercial partner led to the Radio Corporation of America, a young company whose NBC radio programs were attracting huge audiences and whose RKO studios were producing and distributing popular motion pictures that offered welcome diversion in hard times. Rockefeller's financial power and RCA's media might were joined by the unusual talents of impresario S.L. "Roxy" Rothafel. Roxy had earned a reputation as a theatrical genius by employing an innovative combination of vaudeville, movies and razzle-dazzle decor to revive struggling theatres across America. Together Rockefeller, RCA and Roxy realized a fantastic dream - a theatre unlike any in the world, and the first completed project within the complex that RCA head David Sarnoff dubbed "Radio City." Radio City Music Hall was to be a palace for the people. A place of beauty offering high-quality entertainment at prices ordinary people could afford. It was intended to entertain and amuse, but also to elevate and inspire.
Donald Deskey wasn't the most celebrated interior designer to enter the competition for design of the Music Hall's interior spaces. In fact, he was relatively unknown. But from the moment opening night visitors passed through the lobby and entered the Grand Foyer, his popular legacy was secured. In his design for the Hall, Deskey chose elegance over excess, grandeur above glitz. He designed more than thirty separate spaces, including eight lounges and smoking rooms, each with its own motif. Given general theme, he created a stunning tribute to "human achievement in art, science and industry. He made art an integral part of the design, engaging fine artists to create murals, wall coverings and sculpture; textile designers to develop draperies and carpets; craftsmen to make ceramics, wood panels and chandeliers.
Deskey himself designed furniture and carpets, and he coordinated the design of railings, balustrades, signage and decorative details to complement the theatre's interior spaces. He used a brilliant combination of precious materials (including marble and gold foil), and industrial materials (including Bakelite, permatex, aluminum and cork). The strength of his achievement is reflected in how well the theatre has maintained its character over time. It was a remarkable example of contemporary design in its day and it still has the power to take the breath away. It remains an elegant, sophisticated, unified tour de force.
The house steals the show. Donald Deskey's masterpiece of American Modernist design gets rave reviews. One New York critic reports approvingly, "It has been said of the new Music Hall that it needs no performers."
More than 300 million people have come to the Music Hall to enjoy stage shows, movies, concerts and special events. There's no place like it to see a show or stage a show. Everything about it is larger than life.
Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theatre in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet. The walls and ceiling are formed by a series of sweeping arches that define a splendid and immense curving space. Choral staircases rise up the sides toward the back wall. Actors can enter there to bring live action right into the house. There are no columns to obstruct views. Three shallow mezzanines provide comfortable seating without looming over the rear Orchestra section below. The result is that every seat in Radio City Music Hall is a good seat.
The Great Stage is framed by a huge proscenium arch that measures 60 feet high and 100 feet wide.The stage is considered by technical experts to be the most perfectly equipped in the world. It is comprised of three sections mounted on hydraulic-powered elevators. They make it possible to create dynamic sets and achieve spectacular effects in staging. A fourth elevator raises and lowers the entire orchestra. Within the perimeter of the elevators is a turntable that can be used for quick scene changes and special stage effects.
The shimmering gold stage curtain is the largest in the world. For more than sixty-five years audiences have thrilled to the sound of the "Mighty Wurlitzer" organ, which was built especially for the theatre. Its pipes, which range in size from a few inches to 32 feet, are housed in eleven separate rooms. The Hall contains more than 25,000 lights and features four-color stage lighting. And what's a show without special effects? Original mechanisms still in use today make it possible to send up fountains of water and bring down torrents of rain. Fog and clouds are created by a mechanical system that draws steam directly from a Con Edison generating plant nearby.
Radio City quickly became the favorite first-run theatre for moviemakers and moviegoers alike.
Just two weeks after its gala opening, Radio City Music Hall premiered its first film, The Bitter Tea of General Yen. Before long, a first showing at the Music Hall virtually guaranteed a successful run in the theatres around the country. Radio City's huge screen and widely spaced seats make it the ideal movie house. Since 1933 more than 700 movies have opened here. They include the original King Kong; National Velvet, the film that secured Elizabeth Taylor's hold on the silver screen; White Christmas; Mame; Breakfast at Tiffany's; To Kill a Mockingbird, starring former Radio City usher, Gregory Peck; Mary Poppins; 101 Dalmatians; and The Lion King. In the early years, a standard movie run lasted one week. Later, extended runs of five or six weeks became common. Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, and Katharine Hepburn have taken Radio City box office prizes for the number of films screened here. All three had more than 22 of their films shown at the Hall. The popular movie-and-stage-show format remained a Radio City signature until 1979, when the mass showcasing of new films called for a new focus. Today, the Music Hall still premieres selected films, but is best known as the country's leading hall for popular concerts, stage shows, special attractions and media events.
Lights twinkling on the tree, skaters gliding across the ice, carols ringing in the air and the annual Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes.
Rockefeller Center is the nation's favorite Christmas destination. The spirit of the laborers who decorated the first tree on the site almost seventy years ago lives on in the giant, gloriously lit spruce that graces the Plaza throughout the holiday season. The tree lighting ceremony draws huge crowds eagerly awaiting the official start of the season. And for weeks, happy kids and harried commuters are stopped in their tracks by the sight of the gossamer angels with golden trumpets and the sound of music in the winter air.
For 80 years, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, starring the Rockettes, has continued to create lasting memories for generations of families that have made this cherished show a holiday tradition. As America's #1 holiday production, the Christmas Spectacular is attended by more than one million people annually.
Since 1932, the Christmas Spectacular has played at the famed Radio City Music Hall and today's show still features beloved favorite numbers, including Parade of the Wooden Soldiers and the Living Nativity, which have been performed since its inception.
Radio City Music Hall has been a magnet for celebrities since that first night more than six decades ago. Stars shine here.
Radio City is the ultimate destination for the brightest and the best. Future stars, including the budding new comedian, Ray Bolger, and Metropolitan Opera star-to-be, Jan Peerce, shone here first. Many others came to bask in stardom already won. During the golden years of the silver screen, film celebrities rarely missed an opportunity to make an appearance on opening day. It wasn't unusual to find the likes of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Merle Oberon, Mary Pickford, Barbara Stanwyck, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Taylor, Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell stopping by to greet fans.
For decades, America's most popular entertainers have thrilled audiences here. Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ann Margaret, Johnny Mathis, John Denver, The Count Basie Orchestra, Itzhak Perlman, Jose Carreras, Ray Charles and BB King have all appeared on the Great Stage. Today, the Music Hall continues to attract celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, the media and national life. Shows starring Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder and Riverdance pack the house. Our reopening gala features Tony Bennett, Billy Crystal, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, Sting, 98 Degrees, The Radio City Rockettes...and many others. Celine Dion stars in the first solo concert following the reopening. In the past decade, Radio City has hosted the Grammy's and the Tony's, The MTV Video Music Awards and the ESPY Awards. It has been the site for TIME Magazine's celebration of its 75th year, complete with a visit from the President, and a host of benefit events. It has remained a magical place for people in the spotlight. To step out on the Great Stage of the Music Hall is to know what it is to be a star.

I have a questions about tables in ibles
It is also possible to make tables within your instructable, by clicking on the "source" button. However if you don't have any knowledge of coding, this method is not recommended.
I am fairly certain that all the examples you have seen, are pasted from another program like MS Word.
You can download it from their website HERE. (Pick the first option shown in green).
I have already used it with the "Paste From Word" option in the ibles editor, and it works fine (with tables too).
Here is the link if you want to see how it turned out.
And now I can't chose who had the better answer, because it took both of you to get it through my thick head!!!
Feel free to credit iceng, I don't mind.
the "Good Morning" header text so you can see a straight script.
Some of the code points to Google and uses java.

New Tools for Sustainable Entrepreneurs and Service Providers
New Tools for Sustainable Entrepreneurs and Service Providers
Communities often have access to a variety of production agriculture expertise, including University Extension Educators, Resource Conservation and Development coordinators and assistants and vocational agriculture instructors who are commonly consulted for advice and guidance, especially in the area of sustainable agriculture practices. University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Extension Specialist, Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel, says that these resource experts can feel unprepared to help when it is time for a product or service to move to the marketplace. Burkhart-Kriesel is working to create targeted professional development for creating feasibility and marketing plans, and conceptualizing and organizing online direct marketing websites.
In a survey, University of Nebraska Extension faculty were asked what areas they felt they needed to learn more about so that they could better help local entrepreneurs. The results of that survey showed that marketing was an area of need. In 2009, Burkhart-Kriesel and a team of researchers from Nebraska applied for a NCR-SARE Professional Development Program grant, and were awarded $73,984 to increase the small business knowledge, skills, and confidence of recognized public sector agricultural experts to improve their ability to consult with sustainable agricultural producers as they formulate and develop business enterprises.
"If producers can successfully connect with viable markets and grow those markets, they can dedicate more time and resources to keeping their business sustainable," explained Burkhart-Kriesel. "It can become a positive spiral upward. Conversely, when producers struggle financially it can become very difficult dedicate these resources when there are so many short-term demands."
The goals of their NCR-SARE project were accomplished through three face-to-face trainings and a series of follow-up internet webinars, the development of a web-based "tool box" of resources including regionally relevant agri-entrepreneur examples, new and improved educational individual and institutional networks, and an evaluative case study.
More than 50 educators attended the face-to-face training sessions, and the participants indicated that their awareness, knowledge, motivation, confidence, and potential skills that were targeted for each learning objective had increased. According to Burkhart-Kriesel, several programs evolved and incorporated this training information within Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa Extension as a result of this opportunity.
"The project brought together public service providers from across the state (and even from other states) that work with agri-entrepreneurs," said Burkhart-Kriesel. "From a process perspective, this was an opportunity for us to get to know and to strengthen the agrientrepreneurial 'network' in Nebraska."
The agri-marketing website that they developed is a "one-stop" shop for sustainable entrepreneurs and service providers. The site includes a discussion board, media resources, marketing resources, entrepreneurship educational videos, and more.
Their "Direct Marketing of Specialty Food Products," curriculum was developed with experts from the University of Nebraska and North Dakota State University. It teaches producers strategies to direct market and sell specialty food products online. As the user pages through the magazine-style online tool, they can read the content and watch embedded videos.

Category: baby name Bruce
After decades of classic Thomases and Timothys, Richards and Roberts, nothing sounded cooler in the sixties and seventies than a sleek, new, single-syllable name. I'm not talking about those that were just short-form nicknames like Josh and Jeff and Brad and Greg, or the inauthentic Hollywood-invented names like Rock or Tab.
No, these were legit, independent names– a number of which happened to be Scottish by birth. They were for the most part sharp and brisk, often with hard-edged 'k' or 't' endings, and some bore strong family resemblances to each other. We've called a segment of them Beach Boy Names—the personification of surfer machismo.
Some of these names are still in use; but we're wondering today if any of them are ready for a really strong comeback .

Gay and bisexual men looking to use their mobile phones to hookup in Turkey will have to consider another dating app besides Grindr.
Turkey's LGBT group Kaos GL reports that the country has censored the app as of yesterday evening. Istanbul Anatolia 14th Criminal Court of Peace blocked Grindr as a "protection measure." The group's lawyer, Hayriye Kara, said the decision to ban Grindr may have something to do with "general morality," which is a vague term often used against trans sex workers.
Grindr's website is also censored and is blocked by Telecommunications Communications Presidency. Gay and bisexual men trying to access the app's site will get the following message:
"The decision no 2013/406 dated 26/08/2013, which is given about this website (grindr.com) within the context of protection measure, of '?stanbul Anadolu 14. Sulh CM' (?stanbul Anatolia 14th Criminal Court of Peace) has been implemented by 'Telekomünikasyon ?leti?im Ba?kanl???' (Telecommunications Communication Presidency)."
Kara also discussed Grindr's banning with the Huffington Post.
"The court decision is not published online and so we have no access to the procuration and therefore do not yet know what was the reason for the censorship," Kara said. "It is most likely related to 'general morality,' an ambiguous term used often against trans sex workers."
Ömer Akpinar, a gay rights activist in Turkey, told HuffPo that blocking Grindr is "the last step in arbitrary limitations of freedom in Turkey."
"Any lifestyle or identity, which does not fit to the state's ideology, is being deprived of their rights and freedoms," Akpinar added.

A soldier shot in World War I may not have been killed by the initial wound. Yet there was a good chance a subsequent infection would take his life. By World War II, that soldier had a better chance of survival due to the wide availability of antibiotics. These miracles of modern medicine fight infections and save lives.
But the vast majority of antibiotics developed to treat people are given to the animals people eat. Farmers add low doses to feed and water to prevent disease in crowded livestock facilities. The drugs also promote growth. A bigger cow, pig, turkey or chicken translates into more money for producers.
How does this widespread use in animals affect humans? It is killing us, a growing number of scientists say.
Bacteria are adaptable little guys. Over time, they develop a resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Those more resilient bacteria then move from animals to humans. The bacteria causing everything from urinary tract infections to pneumonia in humans are more difficult to treat with common antibiotics.
Tens of thousands of Americans are killed each year by drug-resistant infections. It costs the country's health care system billions of dollars.
So what should be done? Obviously, there is a desperate need to develop new antibiotics. People have heard by now they should avoid overusing and misusing these drugs, which can contribute to resistance. But the extensive use of antibiotics in agriculture -- and its culpability in a human health crisis -- cannot be ignored.
At the very least, Congress should require more reporting on what drugs are being used on what animals so scientists can better track the impact on human health.
It's time for this country to care as much about protecting human health as growing big cows or chickens.

A REMARKABLE last-wicket partnership between Liam Norwell and Purton's Craig Miles restored some pride for Gloucestershire against neighbours Worcestershire on a record-breaking day at the Cheltenham Festival, writes Rob Iles.
Norwell hit 78, the highest ever score by a Gloucestershire No.11, while No.10 Miles finished unbeaten on 62 in a 139-run stand, which was also a new club record for a 10th-wicket stand, to delay Worcestershire's celebrations.
Their heroics ensured County Championship Division Two leaders Worcestershire had to bat again with Gloucestershire eventually all out for 289 and they swiftly reached their target of 50 with eight wickets to spare.
Miles was making his first appearance of the season after returning from a back injury and took 5-90 in Worcestershire's first innings total of 395 with Daryl Mitchell's unbeaten 167 putting the visitors in control.
Gloucestershire were made to follow-on after being all out for just 156 in their first innings, and once again it could have been worse had it not been for the tail-enders, Tom Smith finishing with 41 not out as they added 88 for the last two wickets.

SANTA CRUZ -- Deputies identified Bradley Gordon Dreher as the 47-year-old man who was found dead in Santa Cruz County Jail on Sunday.
Dreher was found hanging in his cell about 11:20 a.m., Sgt. Patrick Dimick said.
Deputies said Monday that they collected evidence for a routine investigation of the death, which appeared to be suicide. Dreher listed his occupation as an iron worker and was living in Soquel, authorities said.
He had been arrested about 8 p.m. Friday on suspicion of making criminal threats on North Rodeo Gulch Road in Soquel, according to arrest records.
He was housed in a single cell because he said he had trouble getting along with other inmates, Lt. Fred Plageman said. Dreher did not seem depressed, deputies said.
About 5 a.m. Sunday, Dreher received a medication from a nurse and later breakfast. He appeared alert and didn't show any suspicious behavior during a correctional officer's check about 10 a.m., deputies said.
When he was found not breathing and alone in his cell, jail medical staff and emergency responders tried to resuscitate him. He was declared dead about 11:40 a.m.
Deputies initially said he was 41 years old.
Dreher's death is the fourth in County Jail since August and the first apparent suicide among those deaths, authorities said.
A 27-year-old woman died from medical problems related to injection drug use in August. In October, a 59-year-old man died from cardiac problems during booking for a DUI, and in November a 47-year-old man died. He was detoxifying from drug use.

GONZALES — Voters in Ascension Parish will choose to renew or end three school taxes that account for $31.3 million of the school district's annual budget at the May 4 election.
The three property tax renewals are dedicated toward teacher salaries, technology and facility maintenance. Early voting begins Saturday and ends April 27.
The largest of the taxes, a 21-mill parishwide property tax, is expected to generate $19.9 million that will be dedicated toward teachers' salaries.
Superintendent Patrice Pujol said there's "no better investment" parish voters can make in children's educations than the quality of teachers they have. The passage of the tax renewal, she said, is "critical" for the district's ability to maintain the type of teachers it currently has.
"The most important thing that happens in a child's education is the quality of the teachers in the classroom," Pujol said. "One reason we have high-quality teachers is we pay competitive salaries."
In the latest school performance scores released by the state Department of Education in October, the Ascension Parish school district ranked seventh in the state and was only one of seven districts to receive an A grade in the assessment.
The second proposition is the renewal of an 8-mill property tax that is dedicated to technology — for both classroom instruction and security infrastructure. It is expected to generate approximately $7.6 million annually.
Pujol said the district has made many technological advancements in recent years and was one of the first two in the state certified as ready to handle the coming online assessments as part of the switch to the Common Core State Standards.
Moving forward, she said, more and more resources will be needed electronically, and the renewal of the millage is key for being ready to handle those changes.
"There's no doubt that the future of education is to create a technology-rich environment for kids because that's the world in which they will live and operate," Pujol said. "We have to prepare them for it."
The final renewal is a 4-mill property tax that is expected to generate $3.8 million annually that will be dedicated to school building maintenance.
The district is in the midst of a $100 million construction project that was approved by parish voters in 2009. Pujol said this tax renewal wouldn't fund any new, large-scale construction projects, but it would be used to help maintain the district's schools.
"You've got to fix the broken door knobs, keep the air conditioners running and do all the maintenance that these facilities require," she said.
Kathryn Goppelt, the chairwoman of the Ascension Republican Parish Executive Committee, said her organization has endorsed the three property taxes for the school system.
A self-described "fiscal hawk," Goppelt said Pujol gave the group a presentation showing how the money was being used, and ARPEC was "very pleased and glad to support those renewals."
"We told her, 'You're doing a great job and you have an excellent school system,' " Goppelt said. "We don't mind supporting people who are using money responsibly. We're not against everything. We really want people who take taxpayers' money to use it responsibly."
The salary and maintenance taxes expire in 2014, and a renewal would expand them 10 years through 2024. The technology tax expires in 2015 and would be renewed until 2025.
On a $150,000 house with homestead exemption, the combined 33-mill tax would cost homeowners approximately $247.50.
Pujol said district officials have been proactive in trying to spread the word about the importance of the tax renewals, and she feels confident residents will support them.
"I think the thing that distinguishes Ascension Parish from other parishes in the state is we have enjoyed that public support both at the ballot box and at our schools," she said.

Texas Parks & Wildlife Now On-demand at MyOutdoorTV.com
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department has taken another step to spread the word that "Life's Better Outside." On July 25, the award-winning Texas Parks & Wildlife television show began streaming through MyOutdoorTV.com, the world's largest internet video network for outdoor television shows, radio, video, and conservation information.
Texas Parks & Wildlife becomes one of the nation's first state wildlife agencies to offer its weekly television series to a broader audience as part of this powerful new forum developed to promote hunting, fishing, wildlife watching, and natural resource opportunities across the country. The new affiliation with MyOutdoorTV.com will allow on-demand viewing worldwide by anyone with a high-speed internet connection.
Passport to Texas, TPWD's daily 90-second radio series produced and hosted by Cecilia Nasti also can be heard on MyOutdoorTV.com, which joined more than 100 other affiliates in May. The shows, available on-demand, cover hiking to hunting and conservation to camping and everything in between.
MyOutdoorTV.com has created a special section within its site called "State Explorer" which will provide video from various states and links to each state wildlife agency. The section will include weekly programming, educational videos, safety instruction, wildlife and waterways law enforcement information, and other useful materials. Hunters and anglers will even be able to purchase licenses through MyOutdoorTV.com or make donations to the wildlife agency.
Shows and materials provided by TPWD will also be included and available for search from topical sections on the MyOutdoorTV.com website, such as deer and turkey hunting, bass fishing, and wild game cooking. Users of MyOutdoorTV.com will be able to view current as well as previous episodes of Texas Parks & Wildlife. In addition, videos produced by the Texas agency, including two narrated by Walter Cronkite that examine the state's water resources, will be accessible through MyOutdoorTV.com.
Each week, the half-hour Texas Parks & Wildlife travels to several different locations around the state, covering such diverse topics as conservation and the environment, fun family activities in the outdoors, visits to state parks and historic sites, fishing, wildlife management and much more. The show airs on PBS stations in Texas, as well as in a number of other public television markets around the country. Through 2006, the show had won at least 70 awards for excellence.
MyOutdoorTV.com will include the agency in marketing activities for the site, including TV, radio, print and online advertising and promotions. The agency will provide a link on its website to view programming at MyOutdoorTV.com and provide articles in its monthly magazine.
"We're very impressed with the outstanding quality of Texas Parks & Wildlife, and we're excited that a program of its caliber is one of the first state-sponsored shows to be aired on MyOutdoorTV.com," said Chris Moise, CEO. "Texas truly has a bounty of resources to share with the world, and we are honored to be able to extend their reach to our audience."
"We're proud of our state's resources and excited to showcase Texas through this partnership with MyOutdoorTV.com," said Richard Roberts, executive producer of Texas Parks & Wildlife. "With more and more people accessing news and entertainment through the internet, this is the ideal vehicle for expanding our audience worldwide."
MyOutdoorTV.com is the world's largest online video network for outdoor TV programming, currently streaming over 70 shows on the shooting sports, fishing and boating. In addition, it hosts radio shows, outdoor videos, and the new "State Explorer" section.

I am trying to learn php and mysql and have a query.
My problem is getting the basics to work. I am willing to travel within 50 miles of Newcastle upon TYne (England) and pay for help if that would get me off base 1
I have used wamp to introduce the settings and have followed instructions in the book called 'Sitepoint build your own database driven website using PHP and MySQL', perhaps i should install everything as an individual package, your advice appreciated.
This is what has happened after setting up and getting to page 51!
If I run the query 'mysqladmin', I get the welcome output - mysql version 8.42 distribution 5.5.16 for win 32 on X86 etc.If I run the query 'mysqladmin -u root status' again I get the correct outputIf I run the query 'mysqladmin -u root -p again I get the output showing everything worksIf I run the query 'mysqladmin -u root -p status' I get 'mysqladmin connect to server 'localhost' failed' error Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password 'YES')
Following the book I then enter 'mysqladmin -u root -p password eAc2c8Bd74Dd to change the password. When I enter the query again it asks for password and I enter as shown here and I get the same error as before as if the password is not working.If I enter the query 'mysql' I get the output showing everything is OKIf I enter the query 'mysql -u root -p status' I get -> on the next line showing it is waiting for a command and I clear this command request using '\c'
Is there anyway I can get it to accept the password as above?
My main reason for wanting to learn MYSQL is that presently I write all my web site pages using Dreamweaver and HTML saving as a'PHP' file normally. However I help a charity of European Counsellors and their Website is currently using an old version of Joomla which is controlled by another company who charge them a fortune if they ask a question and the third party company are obviously just selling them white label hosting. Recently they decided they would like a register of European Counsellors and the only way I could give them one was to create a link from their website to one of mine where I created 'http://eacnews.net/directory/directory.php', from there you can select country and then individual counsellor.
If I get knocked down by the proverbial bus, no one could maintain the register, so what I want to do is to create a new web site for them where there is a simple input screen for their news content which can be saved to various pages just as you can with Joomla and they can call down a template so that anyone can input a counsellors details and save it to the correct section of the register held on their webpage instead of linking to mine as they do now.
The first stage would be to go direct to a hosting company to register their DNS to take them away from the existing situation, but I cannot do this before constructing a working model that can be placed under their URL when it is taken under their control. The whole process has to be simple as no one on the Executive is even slightly computer literate believing all software should be like the proprietry software available off the shelf. I should say of course that they have no money to go out to a third party to have all this designed for them, and I am totally self taught when it comes to coding or website design.
Hey this is turning into my life history but that is the background.
cheers and thanks again for trying to help.
Hi goalseeker. There's a lot in your post, but as it mainly asks a PHP question, I've moved your post to the PHP forum.
Are you using the latest version of Kevin's book (the Ninja version)? In the latest version, he defaults to using XAMPP/MAMP anyhow.
You can actually do that even if you are using a CMS like Joomla etc. You'd just want to back up the database now and then too, but you can edit all the files from your desktop even so, and just upload the changes.
So it might be simpler to use a CMS that is already set up for this sort of thing.
If I get knocked down by the proverbial bus, no one could maintain the register
Remember that, unless the client has access to your hosting, they will lose the site anyway following your demise.
Many thanks for that guidance Ralph it is apprciated
I have borrowed the book from the library so perhaps it is the older version
I appreciate that this could be the case but the present company have not updated the version of Joomla and they will charge a great deal of money to do so, I just thought if I developed my skills I could give them a site that was easy to manage and keep up to date. When I transferred a working version over to them under their URL, I would set up hosting for them direct with a hosting company such as Hostgator.
Again thanks for your help
Certainly, but that could be a big job for you, so a quicker alternative would be to set up a new version of Joomla for them, or any other CMS. Joomla, like a lot of CMSes (inlcuding MODx etc.) are free anyway, so you can save a lot of time by just using an out of the box solution. I'm not sure how client-friendly Joomla is, but there are other CMSes that are very easy for cleints to use, and would have all this functionality already built in—along with security etc., which is a big responsibility to take on yourself.
I appreciate that comment and must admit I dismissed Joomla because of bad experiences trying to maintain a website with an old version and unable to add anything as I did not have control. I will look at this today adn perhaps save a few grey hairs on my head.
Thanks again for advice it is appreciated
xamp, mamp, wamp = basically all the same it's a complete ApacheMysqlPhp installation in one go. the X stand for Linux as OS, W for windows and M for Mac. Just pay attention when developing on WAMP you don't use features that are limited to Windows based installations and vice versa. That way you're not limited in your search for hosting companies (altough most offer both Linux and Windows based hosting, price may differ)
This info besides the fact, that ralph allready mentioned, that creating a complete CMS on your own for your client, as new developer, is a way to difficult goal to achieve. It can become really complex and if you're somwhat limited in time, you're way better of in taking something off-the-shelf.
That all said, the problem you have is the following:The password in your command needs to be directly after the -p. So no whitespace between -p and the password.
Thanks for helpin I entered a password as you indicated, I was asked for password again and the result was a successful output. However, when I enterd mysqladmin -u root -p status; again I got enter password, when I did i got the connect failure error again.
I have downloaded Joomla and will look at that for a short term solution but I never give up and am determined to conquer mySQL!
Thanks again

RANCHO BERNARDO — On Nov. 13, Mojalet Dance Collective will head to Europe for a two-week tour of shows in Switzerland and Germany, but before the dance company flies out, it will give audiences a sneak peek of the tour program this weekend.
Mojalet is a contemporary dance company founded 21 years ago by Poway dancer/choreographer Faith Jensen- Ismay and is now headquartered at The Vine, a performance space at the Bernardo Winery. Over the last seven years, Mojalet has collaborated frequently with Rhythm Talk, a percussion band led by composer Noby Lehmann in Olten, Switzerland. Many of the pieces in the "On the Move" tour — and performed this weekend at The Vine — feature music by Rhythm Talk.
Mojalet's long history with Rhythm Talk was the impetus for the tour. The company was invited to present its Rhythm Talk dance pieces Nov. 15 at the 2012 Tanzinolten Festival in Lehmann's hometown of Olten. Jensen-Ismay will present several dance workshops at the festival, and she has programmed several other dance concerts after the festival to fill out the tour.
For this weekend's shows, the program will include a preview of "Guided Light," which will make its world premiere in Olten. To co-create the piece, she filmed her dancers performing new choreography, sent Lehmann a DVD, and he composed music to the movement as he watched. He then sent the video and music back, and she has been fine-tuning the steps since. She describes "Guided Light" as "reflecting on the seen and unseen guidance that drives and guides oneself."
Also this weekend, the company will present "Storm" and "Pursuit," two large ensemble dance pieces set to music by Lehmann. "Storm" is about the "physical and emotional storms we face in life." And "Pursuit" reflects on the "animal instincts in humans," Jensen-Ismay said.
Other pieces that will be presented on tour (but not this weekend) are "Pulse" and "Mantis," duets that marked the first collaboration between Mojalet and Rhythm Talk in 2005. Also on the tour program are "Search for Sustenance," "Jubilee" and "Sometimes My Heart Aches — Sometimes Not."
One of the highlights of the tour, Jensen-Ismay said, is a cross- continental collaboration with Czerner Dance Academy in Konstanz, Germany. That company is headed by Jensen-Ismay's longtime friend (and fellow San Marcos High School alumnus) Peter Czerner. Jensen-Ismay created choreography that both companies will dance together, filmed her dancers performing the movements, and sent a DVD to Czerner for training. The two companies will meet up in Switzerland for a joint rehearsal, and then they'll perform together in Konstanz.

Alumnus/Entrepreneur Featured on CNN
Last Modified 8:36 AM, December 4, 2011
Tech alumnus Hajj Flemings featured on CNN's "Black in America" series.
November 7, 2011—
Hajj Flemings, a 1996 Michigan Tech alumnus who is now a Detroit area entrepreneur, is one of eight African-American tech start-up company founders who will be featured on CNN's "Black in America" series, airing next Sunday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m.
Flemings, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Tech, is the founder of Brand Camp University, which offers personal branding training. The Birmingham, Mich., resident is also CEO and co-founder of Gokit, an online service that enables people to manage their online presence across a variety of platforms.
Sunday's CNN program, the fourth in the cable news network's "Black in America" series, is called "The New Promised Land--Silicon Valley." It follows the 9-week odyssey of Flemings and his fellow minority tech start-up entrepreneurs as they lived and worked in California's Silicon Valley, networking with leaders of some of the largest and most successful tech firms in the nation.
"We immersed ourselves in the tech start-up ecosystem of Silicon Valley," Flemings explains. The minority entrepreneurs lived together in a 1,300 square foot rental house, a crowded but productive boot camp for eight dynamic entrepreneurs. During that time, they received invaluable advice, met potential investors and "worked to develop our start-ups," Flemings says.
He will be on a panel discussing his experience in Silicon Valley and answering questions from young people, their families and teachers, at an invitation-only preview of the CNN program on Wednesday, Nov. 9 in Detroit. The preview is sponsored by the Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP), Brand Camp University and the United Auto Workers-General Motors (UAW-GM) at its Center for Human Resources. It is designed to strengthen students' motivation and show young people and their families the relationship between education and professional achievement.
Flemings himself has some forthright advice for those young people. "We live in an information-based economy," he says. "Anyone who wants to get and keep a high-paying job needs the right kind of education, and they need to know how to operate in this knowledge-based world."
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

13-15-13Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I will keep you warm at night.
And I too will keep away the fright.
I will always be very near.
And will be with you to wipe away the tears.
I was with you from the very first day.
And until the last, I won't go away.
I will help bring the light in your eyes.
And always help to keep your decisions wise.
The world can be a dreadful place.
But I'll hold your hand, just in case.
Depend on me, I won't let you down.
It hurts me so to see you frown.
I am there while you sleep, and when you wake.
A friend like this is not a fake.
You will learn the name in which to call.
When you need a hand to catch your fall.
A love like this can not compare.
To every second that we share.
I was as close to you as one can physically get.
Closer than what you think I bet.
I'm always right there by your side.
And will be the one in which you can confide.
You'll see my title in many places.
You'll hear my name said by strange faces.
You'll see me on a Calendar and hear me referred to as nature.
You'll even hear me in a Bible, in school, or a movie - I'll wager.
But even heard in all these places I am ONLY YOURS forever.
And we will always be each others - No matter what endeavors.
I alone am not famous, but my title is said by all.
And until the day I'm gone will be at your beck and call.
Everybody needs one, at least to be around.
And most will know them by this one simple sound.
Do you know who or what I may be?
I'm sure you do if you think of me.
HintThe Title is a hint. Read all the hints. It's pretty obvious. I'm sure you have one.
AnswerA MOM
In my case me to my new son - I guess I'm a bit of an obsessive new mommy!
The title is a hint because it is MOM spelled in the order in which it appears in the alphabet. (A being the first letter) M is the 13th letter O is the 15th letter and again M is the 13th letter.
You will see Mother's Day on a Calendar.
You will hear Mother - referred to as Mother Nature.
The rest should be pretty self explanatory. :)
What Next?

Heidi Klum: Not Every Celebrity Should Start a Fashion Line
New York Fashion Week is in full swing, and one of the busiest people in the whole wide world of chic is Heidi Klum, supermodel and host of Lifetime's "Project Runway." Wonderwall was lucky enough to catch Klum twice, first on Sept. 8 at QVC's Fashion's Night Out broadcast and again on Sept. 9 at the big "Project Runway" show -- you know, the one where this season's top three designers debut their lines. Hear what Klum had to say about "Project Runway," celeb fashion and Seal's take on her super style.
Wonderwall: Is the final "Project Runway" decision based on 'I would wear that'? Does that indicate a winner?
Heidi Klum: It's not always based on whether I would wear it. For me, there is a clear winner there.
WW: How do you rate this season's designers compared to past seasons?
HK: You can never really compare them. They are different people with different points of view. I think you saw some great fashion today. For me, there is one clear winner there today. Sometimes I'm like, 'Oh, I'm not so sure.' But today there is.
RELATED: What's your favorite Meryl Streep movie?
WW: Was there ever a contestant in the past you wish you hadn't let go of?
HK: That always happens in every season. Of course! And especially when they show here and you see the whole collection and you say, 'Wow, they did a really good show.' The issue is that it's judged by challenge, and if one challenge is not good, then the designer is out. Unfortunately, sometimes people go that are very, very talented.
WW: Why is the winner so clear to you? What stood out?
HK: I just like the point of view. It was super well made, and I just thought it was new, different and edgy.
WW: How many hours did you sleep last night?
HK: Ah, not that many! We started very early this morning. I'm pretty tired, but it's OK! That's how Fashion Week is, though. You just go, go, go to place to place. It's fun though!
RELATED: What's your favorite Lady Gaga song?
WW: What do you think of the Kardashians starting a line for Sears? What about other celeb lines?
HK: I think just because you have one career, that doesn't mean you aren't good at other things, too. I think there are many great people out there that aren't professional singers and have amazing voices. That's why you see why those shows work like "American Idol." You find people who had a completely different job and then you see they have a lot of other talents. A lot of people in the entertainment industry can also be great designers or have other things they're good at.
WW: What do you think of all these celebrity collaborations?
HK: I have to like them, right? I've done them myself. I'm doing one for QVC right now with my jewelry collection. I think they are great, though; they are way for the celebrities to express themselves and for the audience to understand the person a bit more. It's not a bad thing. I don't think every celebrity should do it, but it gives him or her an added voice. So that's always good.
RELATED: See celebs rocking '60s-style glam
WW: What kind of girl will wear your line?
HK: She's a free spirit; she's independent and fun. She's not afraid to take risks in fashion like me. I mean, half the time my PR team is like, 'Are you really going to wear that?' … And I like to take risks and be fashion-forward, and I think the woman that buys from my line will be the same way.
WW: Whose style in Hollywood do you like?
HK: I think that Cameron Diaz is always really cute. She looks really fresh, and she always has a great point of view. She uses a lot of great colors. She's always fun. I like her style a lot.
RELATED: Which celeb debuted their baby at Fashion Week?
WW: What kind of look does Seal like you best in?
HK: I think just jeans and a T-shirt with my hair in a pony tail.
WW: When you finally get free time way from your family, what do you most love to do with Seal?
HK: Sleep in! (laughs) That doesn't happen a lot. That's one of my favorite things to do!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Columbus fire division says a firefighter searching a vacant building in an arson case fell between levels and suffered back and rib injuries.
The division says firefighters responding early Friday morning found heavy smoke and fire at a two-story building in a residential area southeast of downtown. A firefighter fell from the first floor into the basement during the initial search.
His injuries were not considered life-threatening. No other injuries were reported.
Investigators say they have "people of interest" in the case and are trying to find those individuals.
Firefighters didn't say how the blaze began. The damage was estimated at $70,000.

Topic: Capsule supplements any good ?
My mom has lost nearly 20 kg/50 pounds since this ordeal started. I've just bought this book "What to eat if you have cancer" (which was a great read BTW) and it tells a lot about the supplements that should be taken when someone is dealing with the disease. I had already bought a "general" multivitamin supplement, in which one capsule is supposed to give 100 % of the daily need for different vitamins. However, my mom is still much weaker than when she started taking it. I know that's normal considering the tumor's progression, but I wonder if I can do something about it. So my questions are:
- do you think the multivitamin capsules are less effective than other forms (like powder or shakes) ? Perhaps they're not absorbed as easily, I don't know... so far she's had no problem taking them, at least.
- since she has difficulty absorbing any nutrients, should I give her two capsules instead of one ? Or is there a risk of overusage that could, for instance, overstress her kidney or cause nausea ?
- has anyone tried concentrated digestive enzymes (the book mentions Metazyme and Similase) ? Are they any good ?
Though I do fear we're near the endgame (mom is sleeping really a lot today, but it's been raining non-stop so even I feel like taking a nap ;-) ), I don't want to give up hope just yet, specially considering that improving her food intake through supplements should not be too risky.
Thanks a lot for your help,

Mambino Organics is a proud member of the Cruelty Free/Leaping Bunny Association and therefore never tests on animals. Mambino Organics Questions & AnswersWhat is an "organic" product, and how does it differ from a "natural" product?An organic product is subject to very strict production procedures. With organic farming, the soil is prepped over a three-year period, and then once growing begins, the grounds are watch-guarded to ensure the environment is protected. Organic growing also bans the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers that can alter or harm the plants. As for complex organic products such as skincare, the extracts that go into the formulas must come from organic growing. That's why "green" or "natural" cosmetics are not necessarily "organic".What percentage of the formulas are organic?Their products for moms have a minimum of 70% certified organic ingredients. Their infant & baby line, except for the Mild Baby Wash & Shampoo and Baby's Best Essential Lotion is 100% USDA Certified Organic by A Bee Organic Company.Do Mambino Organics products contain any chemical preservatives?Absolutely not. None of their products contain chemical preservatives. They only make use of natural food grade preservatives approved, such as Rosemary extract (ROA) not to be confused with Rosemary Essential Oil and natural vitamin E (kosher certified, GMO free and suitable for food and cosmetic use)Are organic products more likely to cause allergies than regular ones?No. They have run all necessary tests to anticipate potential allergies. According to the results of different tests they certify that all the products are safe for cosmetic use in normal conditions. What kind of scent do Mambino Organics products have? Their essential oils come from a supplier who does AEOR (Applied Essential Oil Research) and provides certificates of analysis of EO quality. All their essential oils are organic or wild harvested and used in small therapeutic amounts, so their aroma is a citrus that's irresistibly fresh. All EOU oils are pesticide free according to GC/MS analytical results. Is there anything different about the scent, texture, or color of organic products that I need to know about? Organic raw materials are not refined or chemically modified, so no two batches are the same. So, the same product can have a different appearance, whether it's a variance in color or the levels of essential oils.Can anyone use the Mambino products?Their products are specially formulated to be safe during pregnancy and after birth but also suitable for children, men and women of all skin types and ages.How long do Mambino Organics products last?Every product has a shelf life of 16-18 months unopened and 12 months opened, because the packaging preserves the formulas.How does Mambino Organics source their ingredients?All of their raw ingredients come from highly reputable suppliers, all providing the highest quality ingredients on the market today. Each ingredient is screened, analyzed and sampled to insure purity and quality. Most of their ingredients are organic or wild harvested, cold pressed or expelled pressed to preserve nutrients and effectiveness. They never use refined oils that are solvent-extracted. About Mambino OrganicsMeet MakiHer passion for skincare ignited at a young age when she had her own trials with acne while still at home in Belgrade, Serbia. With her European skincare training on biodynamically grown herbs, flowers and plants, she starting mixing homeopathic remedies in her own kitchen. In 2003 she started working at the world famous Ole Henriksen Face and Body Spa in West Hollywood, California, and today is facialist to some of the most well known faces in Hollywood as as Katy Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Wentworth Miller, Linda Evangelista, Shakira to name a few. In 2006 she co-founded the Mambino Organics premium brand of face and body products featuring simple plant and fruit based, certified organic ingredients. Her philosophy is founded on the premise that scent, texture and marketing claims will not change your skin but live, raw ingredients will. She sources raw, environmentally sustainable ingredients of the highest quality directly from family owned organic and fair trade farms in various parts of the world, from countries such as Madagascar, Tahiti, Peru, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria. She was one of the first few companies to introduce to the U.S. market a line of holistic and 100% natural and organic products for expecting moms. Her approach based on holistic and naturopathic principles challenges some of society's fundamental beliefs relating to what is truly natural. At the time, truly natural products like this didn't exist. Most "natural" products were either filled with 'fake' natural ingredients, preserved with parabens, contaminated with synthetic chemicals, petroleum products or had as a sudsing agent, the ever-present sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate. 'Green' or sustainable chemistry was in its infancy and there wasn't the selection of alternative or green ingredients that there are today. Today, Mambino Organics, has become a well known and respected brand for its high quality, unique and luxurious formulations and their unparalleled ability to make a positive change to the skin. The key to Mambino Organics effectiveness and great success is its active ingredients and the way they are combined and processed.

CUNARD, W.Va. -- Shaded by old-growth beech and sycamore trees and home to three beaver ponds and a sunny beach that serves as a resting spot for passing whitewater paddlers, Red Ash Island is teeming with life -- but this tranquil 13-acre patch of land deep in the New River Gorge is also a resting place for the dead.
In the shadows of its high ground, dozens of graves can be found in the leaf litter and brush. Many are merely unmarked indentations in the loamy soil, while others are marked only with smooth, round river rocks. Formal engraved headstones can be found atop 16 graves that are being reclaimed by the island's forest.
National Park Service Ranger Reed Flinn, who led a group of hikers taking part in the New River Gorge National River's Hidden History program to the island last weekend -- three days before the park closed as part of the partial federal government shutdown -- said he first visited Red Ash several years ago to see the remnants of old-growth forest he'd read could be found there.
Flinn hiked to the site and admired the mature trees. "But when I saw all the indentations in the ground and the sandstone rocks that marked the fronts and backs of graves, it really piqued my interest in this place," he said. "I wanted to learn more about it."
What little has been written about Red Ash Island over the years mainly deals with tragedy.
A narrow slough separates the island from the shore of the New River and the nearby town sites of Red Ash and Fire Creek. When a smallpox epidemic swept through the New River Gorge and the 50 mining and railroad towns in it during the 1890s, health officials decided the unoccupied island naturally suited itself as a locale for a quarantine camp.
Three buildings were erected on the island -- one to house women and children, one for men and one for medical personnel.
"The smallpox victims who lived in 'pest houses' here had it better than people in other parts of the Gorge," Flinn told those taking part in the Hidden History hike. In one community, Flinn said, those suffering from the disease were loaded into boxcars equipped with cots and hauled to remote sidings, where they received minimal care.
Since the mortality rate for smallpox in the New River Gorge area in the late 1800s approached 30 percent, there was no shortage of bodies to inter. According to the text of a 2007 historic archaeological study of the New River Gorge National River, "most were placed in graves marked only with fieldstone markers or in unmarked graves."
"It's hard to imagine what went through these peoples' minds as they were cast out of their communities and sent here," quite possibly to die, Flinn said.
At the dawn of the 20th century, the island's smallpox victims were joined by the dead from a pair of mining disasters.
On March 6, 1900, 46 coal miners were killed in a methane explosion at the nearby Red Ash Mine.
The night before the blast, the crew closing up the mine failed to close vent doors, allowing gas to build up in ceiling pockets in the drift mine. The following morning, the mine's fire boss was late to work, and the miners, who were paid by the ton and not by the hour, chose to begin working without the customary pre-shift safety inspection.
"The explosion happened as the men were going into the mine in groups, or in couples in some instances, and they were strung along in this manner for over a mile," according to a New York Times account of the disaster.
"A fireball shot from the mine and smoke poured out," Flinn said. "Some of the equipment that had been in the mine landed in the river more than 400 feet away."
Open flame from a miner's carbide headlamp might have sparked the explosion, according to the Times account.
Five years later, when the Red Ash Mine was connected underground with the adjacent Rush Run Mine, tragedy struck again.
On March 18, 1905, shortly after 9 p.m., a coal dust explosion -- apparently sparked by a mine car running over loose explosives on a section of track, according to a state mine inspector's report -- swept through both mines, killing five miners in each.
An auditor for the New River Smokeless Coal Co., which owned both mines, was taking a smoke break outside a company building at the time of the incident, and witnessed the blast.
"I hope never to see such a thing again," he wrote. "When I saw that awful sheet of flame belch forth from the mountain, I thought the world was coming to an end. The fire shot from the opening nearly across the river to the cliffs on the other side of the valley. It seemed like a volcano had opened up and was about to envelope us with flame."
About six hours after the 1905 explosion, a 14-man rescue team entered the mine complex, which had been accumulating gas because of the destruction of ventilation fans. The open-flame carbide lamps and lanterns used by the rescue squad set off a second blast, killing all of the would-be rescuers, and bringing the death toll for the day to 24.
Several victims from the two explosions are believed to account for some of the unmarked graves on Red Ash Island.
The Red Ash Mine, which opened in 1891, was the site of one of the region's first unionization drives. The Knights of Labor organized the site in 1893, in an attempt to improve wages and working conditions.
"The mines continued to operate into the 1930s," Flinn said. The most recent burials on the island date to the early 1940s, about the time one portion of the island was cleared to create a baseball diamond. By the 1950s, the town of Red Ash was abandoned.
"Thousands of rafters float past here every year, and no one knows this place is here," Flinn said.
The Brooklyn-Southside Trail, located on the former rail bed of the C&O Railroad's Southside Line, passes near the island and the town site of Red Ash, but there is no side trail leading to Red Ash Island.
Despite the island burial ground's remote locale, its presence is not completely unknown or forgotten.
Flinn and his wife, Megan, hiked to the island on one occasion and found someone had placed tea candles near some of the graves.
More than 900 people took part in this year's Hidden History Weekend hikes in the New River Gorge National River and Babcock, Pipestem, Hawks Nest and Little Beaver state parks.
"At one time, there were 50 towns in the New River Gorge," Flinn said. Because memories have faded since the towns were abandoned and reclaimed by second-growth forest, "the Hidden History program helps people find traces of the people who lived here and the places where they lived."
New River Gorge National River, along will all other units of the National Park Service, is closed because of the partial federal government shutdown.

Topic: Getting 2nd opinion
Hi, all
I finally got fed up with Dr. Kemenys lack of response/care/thought (fill in here) and have decided to seek another onc. My appt is for April 1 and guess what? Dr. K FINALLY wants to talk with me. Of course, she can't do it over the phone, so she wants me to travel into NY this Monday to discuss options. Why did it take so ____ing long? You have all heard and sympathized with my problems with her for the past 2 years... Now when I'm finally fed up she actually wants to do something.
I can keep the appt with new doc but if Dr. K wants to start a new chemo reg on Mon. I would have to take a break before starting with new onc if their ideas differ. Ugh!
Why couldn't she have gotten off her self-important butt last month when I all but begged her to help me decide what to do??
And, in the scheme of things, will waiting 1 week be too detrimental? I wish I knew. Actually, I wish she would talk on the phone about some of these questions before I waste more money going into NY when I don't even know if she will grant me more than my usual 8 second audience.
(Can you tell I really don't like her any more?) my hesitation is this damned pump.....
"Don't just have minutes in the day; have moments in time."
Any opinions I give are based on personal experiences, and are not based on medical knowledge. I strongly suggest receiving medical care and opinions.

I asked mainly because I think my distance increases have come by accruing marginal amounts of snap increase but being physically very powerful and having a well-trained CNS is what propels most of it.
those with high percentages of fast-twitch muscle fibers are definitely at an advantage over those who do not. those who are in shape and flexible have an advantage over those who are not. if you are in shape and flexible you will be throwing farther than if you are out of shape and stiff. those with big hands and long forearms will throw farther than those who do not.
working within yourself, you can get distance increases by changing your physique, but these are usually fairly minor in comparison to big snap increases.
if you have maxed out your snap, then future distance gains will pretty much happen slowly, with physical changes, minor technique refinements, and technology changes paving the way.
overall though, it's small potatoes. if you can move your arm, you can throw with higher levels of snap.

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), managed by The Consumer Goods Forum, announced that Yves Rey, corporate quality general manager Danone, has been appointed chairman elect to replace current chairman, Jürgen Matern, Metro AG, once he completes his mandate in February 2012. Yves Rey will become the sixth chairman of the Global Food Safety Initiative.
Cenk Gurol, general manager supply chain division for AEON Global SCM will replace Cindy Jiang, senior director worldwide quality, food safety and nutrition at McDonald's in her position as vice chair, effective immediately. Cindy Jiang will continue to serve on the GFSI board of directors.
The GFSI board also welcomed the appointment of Mike Liewen, VP global quality Assurance for Yum! Brands to the GFSI board effective immediately. Mike joined Yum! in 2006, after a 17-year career at General Mills, where he worked in various leadership positions including director quality and regulatory operations for the Meals Division, director quality for the Yoplait division, and corporate microbiologist. Prior to working at General Mills, Mike was an Assistant Professor at the University of Nebraska.
Commenting on the recent changes within the GFSI board, current chairman Jürgen Matern said: "The GFSI board is delighted that Yves has agreed to take over once I step down in 2012, an appointment which will ensure continuity and which will drive broader acceptance of GFSI amongst the manufacturer community. GFSI's current momentum, particularly in new geographies, means that we must continue to increase awareness among key stakeholders in the global food industry of the benefits of the collaborative GFSI approach and the efficiencies for companies associated with accepting GFSI recognised schemes in their supply chains. Mike's appointment is particularly significant as GFSI reinforces its foodservice presence on the Board and highlights the role that all partners in the supply chain play together in advancing the work of GFSI".

Well apparently they needed volunteers to hand out posters during the parade today. I had to say no, wished I could have helped out and attended.
Just a bad day for me, too busy I was really hoping to make it.
If anyone attends, take pics ! Please.. I hear the players will be on buses during the parade but I'm sure it will still be special.

Members of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) picketed at various locations in and around Miami Dade County last week, as the Republican party prepared for the Florida primary election on January 31. The union, which represents mechanics and fleet service workers at American Airlines and regional subsidiary American Eagle, recently filed a formal objection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to the hiring of Bain & Company by the bankrupt AMR Corporation. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, a former executive with Bain & Company and CEO of leveraged buyout specialist Bain Capital until 1992, has drawn criticism even from fellow Republicans, most notably presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, for Bain's record of layoffs and plant closings.
"Mitt Romney is a job cremator, not a job creator," said TWU President James Little. "He made a fortune snatching up companies, closing factories and laying off workers. Now, Bain & Company—which still lines Mitt Romney's pockets with their profits—has been hired to axe workers at AMR Corporation."
The union charges that AMR subsidiary American Eagle specifically hired Bain at a fee of $525,000 a month for the task of cutting jobs at the regional airline. AMR claims Bain will engage in "strategic consulting" services.
"The consulting firm was not hired to renegotiate aircraft leases, advise on financing or alter route structures; [its] sole function is eliminating employees," said the TWU in a statement.
More than 24,000 TWU members work at American Airlines and American Eagle. AMR Corporation, the parent company of both airlines, filed for bankruptcy reorganization on November 29.
"It's outrageous that someone running for president as a 'job creator' is going to enrich himself by cutting pensions, cutting wages and destroying American jobs," said Little. "Like so many on Wall Street, Mitt Romney earns his money by destroying the jobs of airline employees. We're going to do our best to make sure voters in Florida and elsewhere know exactly where Mitt gets his money.
"This company filed for bankruptcy with $4 billion in the bank, and they just stiffed our employee pension plans by more than $95 million," added Little. "Their excuse was they had to 'preserve cash.' If AMR is trying to preserve cash, there's no reason to pay more than half a million dollars a month to Bain & Company. Bain's advice is simply pay rank and file workers less, and give executives more."

I am not for the firing of employees at all, specially if a company is doing fairly well, but i want poeple to look how many contries were destroyed by the power of the unios leaders. Unions are good tools fro the emnplyees to get good wages and beneficts, but most union leaders become rich, very rich at the cost of their own workers they say the defend.

My recollection is that the unions destroyed Communism in Eastern Europe. Poland and Czechoslovakia come to mind. Sure there are bad union leaders just like there are bad CEOs who rape companies and their employees/members, but that's a broad paint brush you're using, and please name some of those countries that were destroyed.

As a retiree of American Airlines, I find this action an insult to all employees, past and present. As a former member of management until mid 1995, AA had the vehicle in place to secure their financial future, as well as all employees. The dreaded "B" scale was there and averaging the labor costs, downward. What AA Senior management failed to do, was make the more senior employees move toward the door with buyouts. Then backfill the vancancies with younger, less expensive workers. All of this hurts when a company needs to sustain itself. But this action will be far more painful to more people than twenty-five years of calculated moves. Now, the trust is gone of managements ability to run a laundramat, nevermind an airline.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - Six and a half tons of pure bulletproof armor and glass.
It's called the Rook, a unique machine used to protect law enforcement officers while they protect you.
This special piece of machinery is made by Ring Power, a worldwide company that started locally in St. Augustine. The tank-like vehicle gives protection to officers in a wide variety of emergency situations.
The vehicle helps officers approach a structure without having to be on foot, and they can gain entry to the second story of a house or building without a ladder, enabling them to search from the top down without having to go up an unknown staircase.
"Barricaded subjects, anytime that you might need to get into a building without taking a chance on somebody's life, you have a lot of protection in a Rook," said Kevin Kelshaw, of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
The Sawgrass Village shopping center in Ponte Vedra Beach is undergoing renovation. Local law enforcement agencies were given permission to destroy their building in training exercises Wednesday because it was already going to be demolished.
IMAGES: SWAT vehicle takes down old Publix
The training activities for SWAT teams and bomb squads were taking place at the closed Publix at Sawgrass Village off State Road A1A. The Sheriff's Office warned that residents would hear some loud noises and explosions between 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Kelshaw said it's rare for law enforcement agencies to get this chance to hold mock emergency drills to truly test the limits of the equipment and their officers.
"It's very crucial," he said. "You want to know what type of damage you need to do to get into a building. You need to know what type of damage will be made when you breach a building."
The Rook is said to run smoothly and is easy to operate. There are three places on the Rook where officers can escape. They can get out through the front, through the top and through the back, and all three locations are made out of bulletproof glass.
"Any type of protection is important in this day in time with this machinery that's out there for the bad guys," Kelshaw said. "So it's a good thing that we are able to see what we can do, and it's a great protection tool for the Sheriff's Office."
Only four counties throughout Florida have a Rook. They are St. Johns, Duval, Alachua and Orange counties.

I never said NCL was responsible for any natural
disasters. I'm saying they are negligent. They are responsible for not disclosing information. Re: Damage to the ship
Disclosing this information should have been given to Travel Agencies so they could give the chance to their customers to make changes, to go at a later date.
They didn't even make arrangements for trasportaton when we were sent to Maui a day early. Leaving many to fend for themselves. I myself along with hundreds more spent over 200.00 to go anywhere around town.
A woman who was very well traveled 35 cruises said this was the "worse she had even been on"
First time she was even on NCL and the last.
If the accident had happened on our cruise, I would have been more then understanding. But to use a ship that should have been repaired when it happened just does not make sense.
Rude........the young man who gave so many people a hard time at the excursion desk stood outside the second day and told an elderly woman who was schedualed to be on a tour that there "was NO room for her wheelchair". Did we get rude, No, we were too shocked. When if that was your mother? Thank Goodness the tour gentleman stepped in and said to this rep of NCL "the wheelchair is going with us". He got a big cheer from everyone standing outside the ship.
In my experence staff doesn't get rude. And I know no one else would lower themselves to the level of NCL's staff members.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Junior guards Stephen Holt and Jorden Page combined for 28 points and the Saint Mary's men's basketball team overcame a tough night at the charity stripe to earn a 61-50 road win at Loyola Marymount Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Saint Mary's moved to 22-5 on the season and 11-2 in West Coast Conference play. The Gaels are in sole possession of second-place in the league standings and host 3rd-place BYU Thursday night at 8 p.m. on ESPN2. Tickets are available by calling the SMC Athletic Ticket Office at (925) 631-GoTx or by visiting the tickets link on SMCGaels.com.
Saint Mary's did not enjoy a good outing at the free throw line, making just 17 of its 35 attempts. But, the Gaels defense held LMU (8-18, 1-12) to just 30 percent from the field and 33 percent from beyond the 3-point arc. Lions' leading scorer Anthony Ireland went just 2-for-11 from the field, but scored a game-high 19 points after going 13-of-14 from the free throw line.
"We didn't shoot free throws well," said SMC head coach Randy Bennett. "I thought we played well defensively, competed well. Our defense got us through. We put such an emphasis on defense and rebounding. There are nights when you are going to go 17 of 35 from the line, turn the ball over and don't shoot it well. So, thank goodness we defended."
Junior guard Stephen Holt led the Gaels with 16 points, while classmate Jorden Page added 12 points and a team-high four assists.
After trailing by a slight margin for most of the early portion of the game, the Gaels took the lead for good on a 3-point field goal by Beau Levesque at 9-7 with 12:50 left in the first half.
The Gaels stretched their lead to a game-high 21 points when Matthew Dellavedova made a pair of free throws to push the score to 55-34 with 5:04 remaining on the clock.
The Lions then outscored SMC 14-2 over the next four minutes to close within nine points at 57-48.

The Sewerage & Water Board issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the East bank of New Orleans, including the Lower 9th Ward and New Orleans East, due to a drop in water pressure.

Home » Mayor's Office » Press Releases » 2012 » 20120810 Mosquito and Termite Control Board reports on status of West Nile virus in local mosquitos
Subscribe to the Mayor's Press Release feed
NEW ORLEANS, LA — The City of New Orleans Mosquito and Termite Control Board (NOMTCB) urges residents of New Orleans to protect themselves from West Nile virus. Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, given the recent amount of precipitation, it is imperative for residents to remain vigilant in eliminating or treating standing water.
A recent increase in the number of reported cases of West Nile virus in Louisiana and two confirmed fatalities serve as a reminder of the potentially serious nature of the threat. The virus can cause severe symptoms, especially for those 65 years old and older, but everyone should take precautions.
Of the 53 human cases of West Nile virus infection, recently reported by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, sixteen are in the Greater New Orleans area; two in Orleans Parish, one in St. Bernard Parish, four in Jefferson Parish, and nine in St. Tammany Parish.
The Mosquito and Termite Control Board has continued an aggressive aerial and truck application program targeting the "southern house mosquito," applying larvicide to storm drains and standing water, and educating citizens through community outreach efforts.
NOMTCB urges residents of New Orleans to protect themselves from West Nile virus by avoiding mosquito bites through limiting outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, using repellants containing DEET, reducing the number of mosquitoes around the home and mosquito-proofing their homes by maintaining screens on windows and doors.
Given the large amount of rain recently, it is imperative for residents to remain vigilant in removing standing water by emptying containers and changing water at least weekly in containers that cannot be removed, such as bird baths and kiddie pools. The life cycle of mosquitoes can be completed within a 7 day period, making it important to evaluate yards on a weekly basis. Remove trash and clutter, including discarded tires, buckets, tarps and any other items that could collect water. Make sure swimming pools and fountains are operational and circulating.
For additional information regarding West Nile virus, visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's website: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/qa/prevention.htm.
Residents are encouraged to contact the New Orleans Mosquito and Termite Control Board to treat standing water, report abandoned pools, or with any other questions or concerns, (504)658-2400.

We appreciate your interest, and invite you to explore the numerous research opportunities available with our Department. Below are a few highlights to get you started.
In 2012, the Department received over $19.6 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). According to the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research (BRIMR), our Department ranks fourth among all Biochemistry departments in the US, up from seventh in 2011.
Over 30 professors represent the primary faculty, with another dozen or so faculy with joint-appointments. Among the primary faculty there are two members of the National Academy of Sciences and many who have been recipients of prestigious awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Keck, Beckman, Sloan, Pew, and Searle foundations.
We have a large and vibrant PhD program with more than 70 students from all over the United States and around the world. After their first year in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences Program (BBSP), students can matriculate directly to the Biochemistry & Biophysics graduate program, as well as to one of several interdisciplinary training programs. Students interested in our Biochemistry Track can design a flexible program that potentially exposes them to current research in biochemical, molecular, cell biological and biophyscial concepts. They can also apply to one of many training grants appropriate to their area of interest. For the Biophysics Track, the Molecular & Cellular Biophysics Predoctoral Training Program affords participating students the opportunity to work with faculty in eleven UNC departments, including Physics, Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Applied Mathematics and Medicinal Chemistry. The aim of this program is to apply mechanistic and quantitative approaches to medically significant problems. Students who are specifically interested in biophysics may wish to apply to this program as well, particularly if they would like to take full advantage of the biophysics training curriculum or wish to have the option of working with biophysics faculty in departments other than Biochemistry & Biophysics.
The department has broad research strengths, but with particular emphasis in four areas: 1) chromatin biochemistry, DNA processes including replication, repair, recombination, remodeling and transcription; 2) cell signaling and cell cycle control, trafficking and retroviruses; 3) enzymology, protein biochemistry and biophysics and, 4) proteomic, structural and computational biology.
Core Facilities
UNC has an exceptionally strong research infrastructure with a wide range of core facilities, including outstanding resources in structural bioinformatics, microscopy, functional genomics, macromolecular interactions, as well as proteomics and mass spectrometry. Our department members specifically oversee the following cores: R.L. Juliano Structural Bioinformatics Core, Biomolecular NMR Lab, the Macromolecular Interactions Facility, and a new High Throughput Peptide Synthesis and Array Facility.
