200 not out for Mike Tindall against Harlequins on Saturday
8:00am Saturday 22nd February 2014

8:00am Saturday 22nd February 2014
By SNJ Sport
Mike Tindall will make his 200th Premiership appearance on Saturday (Kingsholm, kick-off 2pm), as he skippers Gloucester against Harlequins in the latest round of Aviva Premiership action.
Tindall will lead a side that sees three changes from the line up that went so close at Welford Road against Leicester Tigers last weekend.
All the changes are in the pack with Rupert Harden, James Hudson and Gareth Evans replacing Sila Puafisi, Will James and Ben Morgan respectively.
The Cherry and Whites picked up a losing bonus point against the Tigers but will be looking to get back to winning ways against a tough opponent.
Previewing the game with the local media this week, Director of Rugby Nigel Davies stressed that Gloucester's performances have been good in recent weeks without necessarily getting the deserved rewards.
He said: "The belief and faith of the group was pretty evident in the performance at Welford Road.
"There were a couple of things that happened in the game that affected the outcome, which they always will.
"But we had our chances to put the game to bed. We didn't take those and that's probably a sign of where we are. The slight irony is that the past few weeks have seen some of our better performances.
"But we do need that W, it goes without saying. Once we get that, the group will get more belief and confidence and we can take that on. We're working hard and doing a lot of good stuff at the moment, but a win would be significant."
Gloucester: Rob Cook; Charlie Sharples, Henry Trinder, Mike Tindall (capt), Martyn Thomas; Ryan Mills, Dan Robson; Nick Wood, Darren Dawidiuk, Rupert Harden; Elliott Stooke, James Hudson; Sione Kalamafoni, Matt Kvesic, Gareth Evans
Replacements:Huia Edmonds, Dan Murphy, Yann Thomas, Will James, Matt Cox, Jimmy Cowan, Freddie Burns, Shane Monahan

Smallest energy saving lamp
The Tornado is Philips' latest and most powerful energy saver. This brilliant little energy saver is super compact, has more light and saves up to 85% energy. And the beauty is, it will fit almost any luminair in your home! See all benefits
On average we have our lamps switched on 2,7 hrs per day and 1.000 hrs a year. The actual burning hours depend on the season (winter vs summer), weather conditions (sunny day or rainy dark day) and on the room where the lamp is used (bathroom vs living room). This energy saving lamp will last at least 8.000 hrs, thus 8 years.
Energy savers reduce the amount of energy in your home, which not only results in a lower eenrgy bill, but also in less carbon (CO2) output by your energy supplier. Together we make this a better world to live in.
Our smallest energy savers are just as small as a traditional light bulb. You can now save energy and money in all your luminairs, without compromizing on light quality.
All Philips energy savers save energy from the moment you turn the switch. During their lifetime they use less Kw and thus also result in a lower energy bill. The level of energy saving differs per lamp type and technology.
Waiting a while before the lamp reaching its maximum ouput is history with our rapid starting energy efficient lamps.
Philips keeps their promises about lamp performance. You can trust what the Philips packaging is saying about light output, lifetime, and wattage equivalent to incandescent lamps.

If you want to use hebrevc with english,
just use strrev.
hebrevc — Convert logical Hebrew text to visual text with newline conversion
[, int
$max_chars_per_line = 0
] )
This function is similar to hebrev() with the difference that it converts newlines (\n) to "<br>\n".
The function tries to avoid breaking words.
A Hebrew input string.
This optional parameter indicates maximum number of characters per line that will be returned.
Returns the visual string.
Beware of English use!
I was working on a little project, and used hebrevc to reverse Hebrew in a loop. The hebrevc function got a variable as an argument. Sometimes the variable was pure English and sometimes it was hebrew.
Suddenly I found out that the English too was cut with BR tags, which made it look funny - the last line was the first.
If you're going to use that function in mixed text, don't forget to check the language before using the function.

Out of the Woods: Callaway Golf
Ely Callaway took golf into the space age. now he plans to keep it on track for the next century
(continued from page 3)
Feisty, opinionated, gentlemanly, Ely Callaway is the chairman of the Callaway Golf Co., the world's largest clubmaker. He is the man who brought you Big Bertha and its progeny. He is the man who led high tech to the forefront of the golf equipment market. And he is the man who took on the United States Golf Association last summer over the issue of the "trampoline effect." The USGA was concerned about the clubfaces of oversized drivers, such as Callaway's Biggest Big Bertha. It was concerned that these drivers imparted extra thrust to the ball. Callaway didn't think this was any of the USGA's concern and wasn't afraid to say so. Never has been, never will be.
"We ran an advertising campaign stating to the golfers of this country that we couldn't see any good reason why the USGA should deprive them of the pleasure of using their Big Bertha clubs or anything else like it," says Callaway in a Southern gentleman's high dudgeon. "The integrity of the game, the spirit of the game, is not threatened by the average player having more pleasure out of hitting his shots."
The USGA has since backed off the issue, and you can bet that Callaway had much to do with it. He won't tolerate someone fiddling with the business of amateur golf, which he contends is a world apart from the professional world, anymore than he countenances counterfeiters selling fake Callaways or rivals claims in print ads that their clubs are better than his. Amateurs, after all, propelled his company from a $5 million business in 1988 to an industry leading $698 million by 1998.
Even though he spends $20 million a year to have all manner of professionals play his clubs in competition, Callaway believes that the professional and the amateur game are distinct and shouldn't be governed by the same rules. He will also tell you he doesn't have to hire the pros, he just does. "There is no such thing as one game of golf." Callaway is rolling now.
"Competitive golf, which is primarily professional, affects 300 people in the world. Then there is golf for the rest of us, that's 40 million"--million ripples off his tongue. "If the professional community wants to put restrictions on itself, that's OK. In fact, that's probably the best idea, rather than having the average golfer penalized"--penalized explodes from his mouth--"by inhibiting design improvements that would enable him to enjoy the game more. The [average golfer] is accustomed to playing the game based on equipment advances and he's going to want to continue to do so. You can't take that away from them unless there is a good reason. There isn't one. Doesn't exist."
You can almost hear a chorus of angels singing hallelujahs.
There is a difference to Ely Callaway. You notice it almost immediately. In his modest office he creates a force field that makes your pants cling to your socks, the hair on your neck straighten and nerves in your stomach fray. When, in the English of his native Georgia, he says "Hi, how you all doin'?" it's as if he's turned the lights up and aimed them squarely at you.
Dick Helmstetter has been in Ely Callaway's spotlight a thousand times. Helmstetter, a former pool cue maker, is the chief club designer for Callaway and the man who conceived the Big Bertha driver. He has been enticed by the force of Callaway's personality. "Ely has an unequaled ability to focus on you when you're talking," says Helmstetter. "That's an extremely powerful personal tool. Some guys' eyes wander. If a phone rings, some guys have to pick it up. When Ely is talking with you, he's talking to you alone. Nothing else matters except what you're telling him, or he's telling you."
There is enough energy in Ely Callaway to run a small town for a week. His innovative and mischievous style has carried him to success in three different businesses--textiles, wine and golf. Though the specifics of the businesses may be drastically different, Callaway's operating philosophy has remained the same over five decades: "Demonstrably superior and pleasingly different."
That's the motto, the mantra, of Callaway Golf Co. There is nary a soul who works for Callaway--and Callaway knows every soul who works for him--who doesn't know that motto. It's imbedded in the Callaway culture, a living, breathing (some might say haunting) reminder of what makes Callaway Golf so successful. It also serves as the perfect description of Callaway the man.
At 80 years of age, Callaway has deep lines that etch the entire Mississippi River basin in his face. His dress is conservative--a blue blazer, a repp tie and gray slacks. His office impresses not with elegant appointments, but with artifacts: a picture of Callaway with President Clinton; a photograph from Madonna (whose book, Sex, was printed by one of Callaway's subsidiaries) inscribed "Keep it long and straight"; a placard from the University of California-Riverside awarding Callaway a chair in social responsibility "in recognition of the values and vision he has demonstrated in his life and work"; a picture of Bobby Jones, the immortal amateur who is a distant relative of Callaway; and a photo of a huge war cannon, a frightening part of Germany's arsenal in the First World War that the Allies referred to as Big Bertha.
Big Bertha, the cannon, did not swing the balance of power to Germany. Big Bertha, the driver, swung the balance of power in the golf industry to Ely Callaway. In overseeing the development of the Big Bertha in the late 1980s, Callaway, an uncommon man, became the champion of the common golfer in America, and around the world, for that matter. Sure, professional players loved it, played it, and got paid to use it. But it was the everyday player, from single-to double-digit handicappers, who embraced the club, who found for themselves it was demonstrably superior and pleasingly different. They could hit it, and that was the key.
Perhaps that's the reason that so many of Callaway's celebrity endorsers are not professional golfers, but duffers who happen to be well known. The unlikely crew comprises the likes of Bill Gates, Alice Cooper, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Smothers, Graham Nash, Kenny G, Smokey Robinson, Mac Davis and Celine Dion.
With a voice that's a little tinny, a little raspy, Callaway extols the virtues of his golf clubs. His delivery, with nouns and verbs occasionally exploding like firecrackers, is somewhere between speech and preach. It's pleasingly different, even it takes a minute or two to adapt to the sudden onrush of information and emotion wrapped up in sentences that end a decibel or two above where they start.
"Up until 1991, what was wrong with drivers is that everybody hated them," says Callaway, noting the year that the Big Bertha was introduced. "The driver was the least favored club in the bag, or the most feared. They bought them but they didn't like them. They had no confidence they were going to enjoy them. I'm talking about the attitudes of most golfers. That's what I knew. Big Bertha changed the attitude of the masses from one of fear about the driver to one of affection. Today, I think it's a fact that the driver is the most favored club in the bag. They love to drive now because they get more satisfaction and less fear. That's what we did. You can't do that with an ordinary driver. The public is smart."
Callaway had always been a good player, starting at the age of 15 in his hometown of LaGrange, Georgia. He won the club championship at the Highland Country Club from 1936 to 1939 when his parents were members. He remains an above-average player--don't give him any strokes in a $2 Nassau today. And don't try to take him on in business. Callaway has shown he is not afraid to go to court--even in Korea--to protect the integrity of his clubs.
The Callaway style was shaped during his five decades in American corporate life. He graduated from Emory University in Atlanta in 1940 with a degree in history, then jumped right into the Second World War.
His family had been in the textile business (Callaway Mills), and he didn't intend to follow the familial path. But the Army decided to capitalize on his family business history, sending him to the central procurement office for all textiles and apparel. By the time he was 24 he had been promoted to major in the Quartermaster Corps. He was selecting garments and authorizing the spending of as much as $700 million a year, as well as convincing large companies that it was their patriotic duty to allow the Army to take over their mills to make uniforms. He learned the textile business, and the textile business learned about him.
After the Army he took a job in Atlanta as a salesman for Deering, Milliken & Co., a large textile firm. In 1949, he was sent to New York to run the company's woolen and worsted division. It was in New York that Callaway began to brand his name on the hide of corporate America. Under his watch, Deering, Milliken took a recently developed fabric from Dupont called Dacron polyester and blended it with light worsted wool. The resulting fabric, called Viracle, was touted as an improvement in men's summer dress clothing. It was lighter, wrinkle resistant and repelled the rain drops of summer showers, a performance characteristic that Callaway, an inveterate showman, demonstrated one day at a Connecticut country club.
For a special Life magazine article on Viracle, Callaway arranged a photo shoot with models at the Wee Burn Country Club in Darien. He invited the Life staffers to a lunch, but before it began he took them outside to see the models in their Viracle suits. Using one of the club's irrigation hoses, he drenched the models, then asked everyone back into the clubhouse for lunch. After lunch he paraded the dried-out models before the rather astonished magazine staffers. "It was demonstrably superior," says Callaway of the fabric, which is still widely used today.
Callaway stayed in New York while moving, in 1954, to textile giant Burlington Industries, where he would serve as president from 1968 to 1973. There he developed the idea that textiles, previously thought of as commodities, could be brand fabrics, and Burlington became a sought-after household name across America. He was also quickly developing a taste for good food, good wine and good cigars. Cubans were legal and Callaway loved them. "I started smoking cigars when I was 30, about the time I started paying attention to serious food," he says. "At Burlington I used to smoke six to eight a day in the office. Long before Castro I was hooked on Havana cigars. Ramon Allones, that was a great old brand. I couldn't afford them but I smoked them anyway. Partagas and Ramon Allones. Today, Cohiba, a little contraband."
While at Burlington, Callaway's developing sense of taste for wine led him to plant the root stock, so to speak, of a different career, one that accelerated a little more quickly than he had planned. When he was denied the chairmanship of Burlington in 1973, at age 54, Callaway resigned to devote his time to the tiny company he founded in 1969, the first one to bear his name. Callaway had established Callaway Vineyards in Temecula, California, not far from where his golf company is today, in Carlsbad. The move was bold and brazen, though carefully calculated.
Acting on research by scientists at the University of California at Davis, Callaway planted a 140-acre vineyard in an area where no one had made wine before. Callaway beat the Southern California heat by plowing in the Rainbow Gap, where cooling Pacific winds counter the coastal desert heat. He hired a German winemaker away from the Napa Valley and set about producing wines that were demonstrably superior and pleasingly different.
And he bucked the wisdom of patrician winemakers to the north, who deemed Southern California only good for freeways, amusement parks and orange growing. "We had a policy that we were not trying to duplicate European wines," says Callaway. "We have our own soil, our own climate. We won't pretend to make wine like the Europeans do. We sold the difference, not the sameness."
Callaway still knew the value of a great story in helping to promote a venture. In 1976, England's Queen Elizabeth II was coming to New York for America's Bicentennial celebration and would be the guest of honor at a gala luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria. Grayson Kirk, the president of Columbia University and a wine expert, was on a committee that was selecting a wine for the luncheon.
Kirk also happened to be a member of New York's University Club, as was Callaway. The story, according to Callaway, goes like this: When Kirk tasted Callaway's 1974 White Riesling for the first time, he called Callaway at the vineyard. "We've picked your White Riesling to go on the University Club wine list," Callaway recalls Kirk as saying. "How many cases do you have?"
After a quick consultation in the vineyard's tiny office, Callaway replied, "About 60."
"Hold them if you can," said Kirk, "so that I can recommend that the wine be served at a special luncheon for the Bicentennial at the Waldorf."
Three weeks later Kirk called back to tell Callaway that he had convinced the selection committee, which included members of the Pilgrims Society and the English Speaking Union, that this daring Southern California white wine should be served to the queen. It stunned the wine world that the queen should be served anything but French grand cru.
Callaway was accused of bribing the committee by giving the wine away or using his influence with former President Richard Nixon. He denies it, with exploding verbiage. "The committee wanted me to give it away, but I said I wouldn't do that," says Callaway. "I said I'd pay a corkage fee to the Waldorf Astoria since it wasn't on the hotel's wine list. And I didn't have any influence at all with Richard Nixon. It didn't taste like any other wine that Dr. Kirk and his committee had tasted. The wine appealed to a key person, and that was why it was selected."
The story got even better after a high-ranking English official told Callaway at the luncheon that the queen had very much enjoyed the wine, had asked for a second glass, and had asked to meet Callaway. At the introduction, Kirk happened to be there, along with several members of the press. It was a public relations bonanza. In 1981, Callaway sold his vineyard to Hiram Walker & Sons for a $9 million profit.
The sale of the vineyard left Callaway free to do something, or nothing at all. He was a well-to-do man, comfortable in the Southern California lifestyle, a frequent visitor to Palm Springs. It was at the Vintage Club in Indian Wells, where he is a member, that his next career began. In the pro shop he happened to catch a glimpse of what at first appeared to be vintage golf clubs. Rather they were newly manufactured clubs, a putter and a wedge with hickory veneer over their steel shafts. They were new relics. He played them, found them different, and two weeks later bought the struggling company, Hickory Sticks USA.
That story, and how Hickory Sticks grew into Callaway Golf, has been told a thousand times. The key element to Callaway's success was the recruitment of an eclectic group of researchers and marketers who eventually designed and sold the Big Bertha driver to a golf community hungry for superior performance even if it came at a superior price. One of the recruited (or was it converted?) was Dick Helmstetter.
Helmstetter's chief occupation was designing and building cue sticks in Japan, though he also had experience designing wooden golf clubs for the high-end Japanese market. Through a mutual acquaintance, Callaway and Helmstetter played a round of golf together at the Vintage Club. Callaway talked with him about the use of wood in golf clubs, followed that up with phone calls to Japan, and eventually went to Japan to see Helmstetter's cue stick operation. In 1985 Callaway talked Helmstetter into not only going to work for him, but even writing Callaway a check for $52,000 for stock in the new company. "It ticked off my wife," says Helmstetter, "but I had attached myself to Ely's rocketship because his track record in business was so awesome. Ely had left a trail of gold dust wherever he went."
By 1990 the Big Bertha was conceived, then the Great Big Bertha and the Biggest Big Bertha and Big Bertha Irons and Callaway X-12s irons and Steelhead woods and Hawkeye woods, the biggest trail of gold dust ever laid down in the history of the golf industry. "Demonstrably superior and pleasingly different."

I can't wait until you throw those for comparison. God I love my blue VIP Sword...Even my friends who play with me all the time comment on how it is going farther for me even though I look like I'm barely throwing it. I don't think it is as nose angle sensitive as the Flow, despite being faster.
I also take back what I said earlier about the Sword sharing mold parts with the Flow. On closer inspection the tops are quite different. The wings look identical in shape and proportion, but the Sword's is definitely longer. At this point I'd say I've adopted the Sword as my distance driver over the Flow. It is just outperforming it. The VIP has more HSS than my Opto Flow, especially into the wind, and at the same time has less LSS. It powers down just as well as the Flow too, and I've used it for some 350'-380' low ceiling hyzers where it just flew so smooth. The tounament plastic Sword flies almost exactly like my GL Flows, only longer. With my Flows I always knew that I was giving up a little D on most lines compared to faster neutral drivers, but I didn't care because of the grip, glide, and consistent stability. The Sword seems to give me all the advantage of the Flow while being as long or longer than anything else, especially on a straight line.

Feeling hungry just before dinner or a workout and wondering what to eat? We can all relate to this scenario. Being prepared with a quick healthy snack will enable us to feel satisfied before suppertime or boosted with enough calories to hit the gym.

Many of us stick within a calorie count give or take a few in order to maintain a healthy body. Having a low-calorie snack of 100 calories or less is the perfect answer to keep our body fueled, still leaving room for dinner.

The following list of 100 calorie superfood snacks will take all the guesswork out of what to eat, provide essential nutrients, and allow you to feel good about your choices.

Snack idea: use 1/4 fresh sliced avocado on organic whole grain or seeded toast for a nutrient-dense snack and under 100 calories.

Food facts: whole grains are a rich source of fiber, help with weight loss and are shown to reduce our risk of disease. Fresh avocado is considered a healthy unsaturated fat and a great alternative to real butter. According to Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition reports, avocados are full of essential vitamins and good fats promoting healthy lipid profiles (cholesterol) and weight loss.

Snack idea: measure ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt (no sugar added) and top with 1/3 cup blueberries for a satisfying 95 calories per serving.

Food facts: according to the Eat Right Academy, plain Greek yogurt contains vital nutrients, probiotics and whey protein essential for our health and fitness. Probiotics are shown to improve digestion, increase good gut bacteria, and promote normal PH levels in our body. Studies indicate favorable gut flora (bacteria) helps reduce body fat for successful long-term weight loss.

Bonus tip:don't drain off the liquid collecting at the top of the yogurt container because that is whey protein essential for muscle building.

Snack idea: Stick to 100 calories by eating 2 tablespoons of hummus with 1 cup raw vegetables.

Food facts: according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, if you're short on time, grab some hummus and raw veggies. Hummus is simply blended chickpeas plain or with added herbs and spices. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids shown to help with body fat reduction and weight management. Dipping your favorite raw vegetables provides even more essential nutrients and fiber all vital for heart health and reduced risk of disease.

Snack idea: coming in at about 75 calories per serving including the yolk, eggs make a smart snack choice for a quick pick-me-up.

Food facts: hard boiled eggs are probably one of the easiest snacks to make and rich in quality protein, B vitamins, and choline. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, eggs contain essential nutrients and protein linked to lowered risk of heart disease. Egg whites are easily digested and considered the perfect protein for lean mass gains.

Snack idea: Keep the serving size at 100 calories by enjoying one slice of whole grain bread and top with ½ tablespoon almond butter.

Food facts: according to the American Society of Nutrition, whole grains are recommended as part of a healthy diet. Evidence supports whole grain foods significantly lowering the risk of chronic disease. The following snack is high in fiber, plant protein, healthy fats and will keep our body satisfied for hours.

Snack idea: a handful of raw almonds (about 13) per serving is approximately 75 calories and a perfect on-the-go superfood.

Food facts: raw nuts taste great are easily portable and one of the best superfood snacks out there. Nuts like pistachios and almonds are among the numerous list supplying healthy fats for optimal fitness. According to the National Institutes of Health, eating raw nuts provides good fats and fiber shown to reduce our risk of heart disease. Chronic studies also show nut consumption as part of successful long-term weight loss programs.

Snack idea: eating one medium apple provides less than 100 nutrient-dense calories and one of the best grab and go snacks to fuel your body.

Food facts: fruit is low in calories but high in nutrients. This is a great combination to define a quick and healthy snack. Fruits like apples are high in quercetin, a natural anti-inflammatory and excellent for post-workout muscle recovery. Apples are also high in fiber and shown to increase our metabolism and promote weight loss.

Snack idea: combine 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 sliced apple or 1/4 chopped banana, 1/4 cup kale or spinach, and 1/4 scoop whey powder and blend for a 100 calorie powerhouse drink full of essential nutrients.

Food facts: blended awesome in a cup describes any green protein drink. Superfood could not get easier but also diverse with a wide variety of choices from kale, spinach, and fruits to blend along with your protein source. Leafy greens contain strong antioxidants shown to reduce inflammation and our risk of disease.

Snack idea: Spread 1 tablespoon peanut butter on a long stalk of celery for 100 calories of superfood nutrients.

Food facts: peanut butter remains the favored sports superfood and a rich source of quality plant protein, healthy fats, and fiber. According to articles appearing in the National Health Institute, peanut butter positively enhances our health and provides long lasting portable energy. Although peanuts are really a legume (the edible part of a plant) and don't come from trees, we fondly refer to peanuts as nuts.

Bonus tip: celery is high in nitrate and converts to nitric oxide when consumed. Nitric oxide is shown to enhance athletic performance and reduce hypertension.

Snack idea: top 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with 1/4 cup diced fresh or canned pineapple (in natural juices) for an amazing 100 calorie snack.

Food facts: low-fat cottage cheese is high in protein shown to help with weight loss and muscle building. Cottage cheese also contains probiotics shown to improve digestion and increase good gut bacteria. The enzymes (bromelain) found in pineapple are shown to improve the digestion and absorption of protein consumed.

Snack idea:cook 1/4 cup dry oats for approximately 75 calories and top with 1/4 cup of your favorite berries or 1/4 sliced banana.

Food facts: oats are not just for breakfast anymore and are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, oats also contain beta-glucan fiber linked to improved immunity and lowered cholesterol.

Bonus tip: blueberries contain powerful antioxidants shown to reduce our risk of heart disease and improve brain function.

Happy toddler zone
Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
Anyone who refuses a new food at least half the time is considered a fussy eater - and by those criteria, approximately 50% of all toddlers are fussy eaters!
While it can be difficult to coax a toddler into eating something he doesn't want to, there are some strategies you can try to encourage him to try and enjoy a wider range of foods:
Unless he's unwell, your toddler will never voluntarily starve himself. Your child is eating enough if he is energetic during the day and sleeping well at night. Keep an eye on how much food he actually eats over the course of the day. Your child may be a grazer - and you'd be surprised how those little handfuls of food and snacks add up.

The market has done a nice job of walking back to flat after the weak open, but this action is just plain boring. The small-cap indices are doing very well, which is a good sign, but there isn't much speculative action. The big excitement is a potential Dell (DELL) buyout and Facebook's (FB) announcement of a search function. Whoopee.
The good news is that earnings season kicks off tomorrow with reports from Goldman Sachs (GS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and a couple of others. Then we will have significant reports for the next few weeks. I'm not sure if earnings will produce a positive or negative bias, but at least we should see some movement and tradable action in individual stocks.
I'm doing almost nothing today. I sold down a number of things this morning in untimely fashion, but the lack of energy is preventing me from doing anything of consequence.
The market continues to act fine and when it's this slow, the phrase "Don't short a dull market" comes to mind. I wouldn't be too complacent if I was bearish.

Let me begin with thank you. But I have no background in coding whatsoever. All I know is that the image portfolio plugin Rio Portfolio is disabling my image slider plugin on my website. Both plugins are HIGHLY required and cannot afford to sacrifice either! Can somebody PLEASE guide me here. I have access to all the coding, all I need is some HELPPPPPPP lol.
www.cgobr.com (my website) -image slider is placed on the top of homepage, but when portfolio is active, the slider disables. The portfolio is on this page (www.cgobr.com/bullion).
All help is obviously GREATLY appreciated!!!
Welcome to the forums.
When you say "image slider" with reference to this page http://cgobr.com/ , do you mean the marquee that scrolls text such as "Palladium", "Gold", "silver" etc.On this page http://cgobr.com/bullion/ - when you say "portfolio", do you mean the pictures of all the coins which fade out to reveal some text when you hover the mouse over them?
Thank you for the warm welcome!
When i refer to image slider, im refering to the blank white area on the home page not visible at the moment because the image portfolio plugin (displayed at cgobr.com/bullion) is active. I'm so stumped.
Ah, you mean that when the portfolio plugin is activated via your dashboard, the slider stops working anywhere on the site?
yes! and it's driving me nuts! lol
Note:i did not develop these plugins, nor do I have ANY programming experience. As long as someone can identify the error in the coding and provide a resolution to it, I can go in and change it. That's about as much as I know.
Looking at the source code, the problem seems to be that you are including jQuery twice - once in line 21, once in line 428One version is overwriting another.
Do you have any configuration options on either of the plugins?
Sorry for the delayed response!
I have no configuration options available through either plugin!
Shame! (although I find that surprising)
Could you in that case please make a minimal page with only the slider and the portfolio on it (nothing else) which demonstrates your problem.
Absolutely, here is the link, just added the slider shortcode to the bullion page where the portfolio already is:
I read all of your PMs and I'm assuming that you have got the problem sorted (the slider was present, but was positioned off of the page).Let me know if this is not the case.

Kurt Angle has Always been Right About 'Mania
by, 04-02-2012 at 12:35 PM (6967 Views)
While I cannot find an exact quote from the master of Twatter, it goes something like this. "I won at Wrestlemania! That counts twice!" And Kurt Angle is correct if not underselling it. This quote symbolizes exactly how I feel about two of the best matches on the card last night--the Winner will forever be the better man. The losers of these matches will never, EVER be able to make the fans forget their loss, no matter how many times they go over. I am, of course, speaking of CM Punk vs Chris Jericho and Rock v. Cena.
CM Punk (C) vs Chris Jericho -- WWE Title Match
Starting with the one you have to read a bit into (and because I want to keep the polarizing match for later), I feel very strongly that in WWE Mythos, CM Punk will forever be better than Chris Jericho. No string of victories or title changes could convince me otherwise. Mark the date in history--on April 1st, 2012, CM Punk surpassed Jericho in everything but longevity.
And as my proof, I turn to the match itself. With the (sometime awkward) build up of the match, from Jericho's return and failures to win at the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, and the great ability of the two talents in the ring, this match had all the makings for a classic. And it was a classic. With a weird late stipulation that only seemed to be there for some early drama, the match went back and forth. Technical prowess and counters ruled the day as the two went at it. But in the end, Punk outlasted Jericho--including a nasty suplex-powerslam hybrid from the apron to the floor, several Walls of Jericho, and a CodeBreaker spot (that is getting supremely dull, to be honest*)--and made Jericho tap to the Vise.
Wait, what?
Jericho tapped.
This is why CM Punk will forever be better than Chris Jericho. Jericho came back, basically aiming straight for Punk, and yet he tapped on the grandest stage of them all. In the current era of the WWE, tapping is rare. Submitting to your opponent is dozens of times worse than just getting pinned or KO'd. It means you consciously gave up. And because Jericho tapped on such a large stage and couldn't make Punk tap after all that back abuse, Jericho has a superior.
Rock vs Cena
I will reserve my ultimate judgement of the finish--I don't want to be another blog that spews shit one way or the other. I liked the match--I thought the pacing was fun, I thought they made a great move by having two finishes in the middle of the match and then continue almost like they never happened, and I thought both were shown pretty resilient and powerful. I'm even happy with Cena's ability to play the pseudo-heel of the match.
But John Cena is forever second banana to the Rock--End of Discussion. John Cena could whip and abuse the Rock for another year, then squash him in a 5 second I Quit match at next year's 'Mania, and the Rock would still be higher on the pantheon. All the talk about how he needed that win. But he couldn't do it. He lost to a Man in only his second wrestling match in years. He lost in his opponent's home town. And nothing can erase that memory. Nothing can erase that night.
Ladies and Gentlemen, John Cena's ceiling has been found. John Cena can never surpass the Rock. Ever.
*CM Punk corner springboard into counter has been used like crazy whenever CM Punk has a big time match. Randy Orton RKO'd him from it at last Mania--a spot featured in ALL THREE of their PPV matches--and I do believe John Cena countered it too. I know it looks cool, but it's boring me at this point.

Hi all. 1st time golfer & poster here.
All last year I put off going out with my friends as I thought.... "disc golf?"
I finally went last week & was instantly hooked. We played a round of 18 & I didn't want to leave.
The next day I went out & bought a Innova Cheetah Driver (175g) & a Omega SuperSoft putter (165g). I was happy to see the Omega is used by some people as their "if I only had 1" disc.
I guess the questions I have are in throwing techniques. I've read & read about them, but can't mentally picture what they are describing to do.
Lucky for me, I am going out tommorow with a more experienced player, but iin the meantime, does anyone know of any mini-movies what show the different techniques?

Includes 440 Minutes of Episodes & 2+ Hours of Bonus Features...
On July 16, 2013 the Cartoon Network releases the Regular Show: The Complete First & Second Seasons on DVD and on Blu-ray. Jam-packed with all 40 11-minute episodes from the series' first and second seasons – 440 minutes of your favorite, hilarious episodes – the release marks the first time the Emmy Award-winning animated series created by J.G. Quintel (The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Camp Lazlo) and produced by Cartoon Network Studios will be available as a full season set and the show's first Blu-ray release. If that's not enough of a draw, both the DVD and Blu-ray will also include more than two hours of bonus features, highlighted by: audio commentary for every single episode from Quintel and the show's storyboard artists; the unaired pilot episode from the series and an animatic for it; a video of Quintel pitching the series' first episode, "The Power" complete with animatic; an interview with Quintel about the series; and his student short, "The Naïve Man from Lolliland," plus so much more. The three-disc DVD release will come with a suggested retail price of $36.94, while the two-disc Blu-ray release will be $39.98.
Regular Show is a breakout television series featured in the Monday night comedy block on Cartoon Network, which also includes Adventure Time (also releasing on DVD and blu-ray, see HERE). The series stars two best friends and slacker park groundskeepers, Mordecai and Rigby, who also happen to be a blue jay and a raccoon. Their attempts to escape their everyday boredom take them to fantastical extremes, much to the chagrin of their boss Benson (an anthropomorphic gumball machine). Other characters in the show include Pops (a lollipop), Skips (a yeti), Muscle Man (a muscle man) and many others.

PIO Number: 13-3-27 (11-7-8)
BSO Case Number: SW11-06-00122
Date: June 7, 2011
Time: 7:07 p.m.
Jurisdiction: Southwest Ranches
Place of Occurrence: 6910 S.W. 127th Ave., Southwest Ranches
Victim(s): Teresa Rios, female, age 42, 6910 S.W. 127th Ave., Southwest Ranches
Suspect(s): Andres Amador, male, 30, 1/30/83, 29900 S.W 170 Ave., Homestead
Silvestre Romeo Romero, male, 28, 9/19/84, 720 N.W. 27 Ct., #14, Miami
Description of Incident:
When Broward Sheriff's Office detectives released surveillance video in 2011 of gun-toting burglars wearing masks and gloves – and possibly a police badge – as they slinked through the back patio of an upscale Southwest Ranches home, one of the crooks took notice. Andres Amador called BSO to say he was the guy on the news, but he was just making a delivery, not committing a burglary.
Detectives determined Amador and a cohort, Silvestre Romero, both of Miami-Dade County, were involved in the burglary. A third man on the video has not been charged. Amador is seen on the video driving a black Cadillac Escalade EXT to the front gate of the home. The men fled when they set off the burglar alarm.
A few hours later, at 2:27 a.m. on June 8, the same men returned to the house under the cover of darkness and successfully broke in, stealing jewelry and cash.
Amador was arrested March 17 on a charge of attempted armed burglary. There is a warrant for the arrest of Romero, who is incarcerated in federal prison on unrelated charges. His charges include attempted armed burglary, armed burglary, grand theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
If anyone has additional information about these crimes, contact Corporal Christopher Bradley at (954) 680-0010, or anonymously report information to Crime Stoppers of Broward County at (954) 493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org.

Vandals fend off Chicago State for rare road win
It looked like Idaho might absorb another excruciating loss after going up big on Chicago State. This time, though, it was the Vandals who made the winning plays in the closing seconds -- on the road, no less.
Connor Hill carried Idaho in the first half and buried the game-clinching free throws with 6 seconds left in the Vandals' 79-76 win at Chicago State on Thursday night. UI nearly let a 17-point lead disappear, but the Cougars missed four straight foul shots and threw the ball away with 11 seconds left to help Idaho escape.
More below.
This was the first road win for Idaho (13-17, 6-9 WAC) since Jan. 9 and just its fourth of the season. It is a game behind Chicago and UMKC, which are both 7-8 in conference play. The Vandals wrap up the regular season at UMKC on Saturday night.
"Thank God they missed some free throws down the stretch and we pulled one out," UI coach Don Verlin said. "This game shouldn't have been as close as it was, but I'm happy as heck that we got a win. It's a big win as far as the standings go and the seeding goes for the conference tournament."
If the season ended tonight, the Vandals would be the fifth seed in the eight-team WAC tournament next week in Las Vegas. But if they beat UMKC and Chicago State loses to Seattle U, the Vandals, Kangaroos and Cougars would finished tied at 7-9. A tiebreaker would then decide the seeding (if head-to-head records don't settle it, it goes by the teams' record vs. the top seed and so on).
Both UMKC and Idaho are playing well heading into their regular-season finale. UMKC beat Seattle U on Thursday night and has won three straight. Idaho has won three of four games.
Hill, as he has done lately, has been an offensive catalyst for the Vandals. He had 27 points -- 22 of which came in the first half -- and sank 7 of 9 3-pointers. His outburst came after going for 18 last week at Seattle U and scoring 28 (with 8 triples) against Cal State Northridge on Feb. 18.
The key stat for Idaho on Thursday night: 18 assists on 25 made field goals. The Vandals came into the game with assists on just 45 percent of their made field goals. But in three of the last four games, they've assisted on over 60 percent of their makes. The Vandals have started to push the ball up the court more often, and it's helped kick-start their offense.
Here's the full recap from UI:
CHICAGO – Connor Hill, Idaho's most prolific 3-point shooter, connected on 7-of-9 3s and the Idaho men's basketball team hung on for a 79-76 win at Chicago State on Thursday night.
Hill finished with 27 points, two shy of his career-high, with his fourth game of seven-or-more 3-pointres this season. Stephen Madison had a 17-point, 10 rebound double-double and Sekou Wiggs added 16 points off the bench for the Vandals. Mike Scott had nine assists and just two turnovers while scoring seven points in the game.
"I thought we played with a lot of energy and intensity, especially in the first half," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "Our ball really moved well tonight, we got a lot of easy looks in transition. For about 30 minutes of this game we really dominated them."
Idaho had 18 assists on 25 made field goals in the game but 19 turnovers, allowing the Cougars to hang around. Hill's seventh and final 3-pointer gave the Vandals a 51-34 lead with 17:13 to play, but from there on out, the Cougars outscored the Vandals 42-28 to give the Vandals all they could handle.
"Hill hit a number of open shots and we did a very nice job early in the game executing our offense," Verlin said. "We were ready for everything they threw at us with their traps and different defenses."
CSU pulled within one a 72-71 with 2:13 to play and after Wiggs hit one of two free throws, the Cougars missed four consecutive free throw attempts, allowing the Vandals to hang on to the lead. Idaho hit six free throws in the final 30 seconds to clinch the victory.
The Cougars hit just 16-of-29 free throws in the game, while Idaho connected on 20-of-28 attempts. Idaho held a 36-28 rebounding advantage and a 10-9 edge on the offensive glass.
"With about 10 minutes to play, for whatever reason, we made some errors and they're a good team, they made some shots," Verlin said of Chicago State's attempted comeback. "Thank God they missed some free throws down the stretch and we pulled one out. This game shouldn't have been as close as it was, but I'm happy as heck that we got a win. It's a big win as far as the standings go and the seeding goes for the conference tournament."
The Vandals improve to 13-17 on the season and 6-9 in Western Athletic Conference play with the win, while Chicago State drops to 12-18 and 7-8 in WAC play.
Hill's seven 3-pointers are tied for the fifth most in a game in Idaho history, and it's the second time he's done it this season in addition to his game with eight 3-pointers on Feb. 18.
The Vandals wrap up the regular season at Kansas City on Saturday, with a 7:35 p.m. (PT) tip-off. With Idaho winning three of its last four games heading into the season-finale, Verlin likes what he has seen from his team lately.
"I couldn't be prouder of our guys," he said. "I'm happy as heck to get a win. What we've got to do now is recharge our battery and get another one at Kansas City. We're starting to play better. We've got to keep being aggressive and keep moving the ball."
The WAC tournament is Mar. 13-15 in the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev. Idaho entered Thursday's game with the possibility of earning as high as the No. 4 seed.

Starting a new project that will have a lot of front panel controls.
Looking for some solutions / ideas so I do not end up with a large number of control references throughout the block diagram
being used to control enable / disable states and setting values.
One thought I had was to create references of each control and feed them into an array at the start of the application but then I would need to know the index of each control to manipulate it.
Is there a better way to handle a lot of front panel controls?
Tim C.
elset191 wrote:
I've made clusters of references before. Takes out the whole index thing because you can unbundle by name
I take that a step farther for the large apps. I create an Action Engine to cache all of my control refs. For those massive visablity settings change operations, I included an action to handle all of the settings. I also include an action that lets me get the ref's and then use the Unbundle by Name to select the one I want now.
THe following images illustrates one of these AE's in use. The AE here is called GUI Controller and the two VI's with a heder that reads "GUI Cnt" are two of the wrappers (APIs) for the AE.
THe first one ""Collect" has a huge case setting the screen up for "Collection Mode".
The SEcond one "Get Refs" just returns a cluster of all of the refs and let me pick the one I will be using while in "Collection Mode". In the code shown below I am registering dynamic events for only the FP objects that are active while in Collection Mode.
I hope that helps,
Tim C.,
You did not describe the programmatic changes to your front panel in much detail.
Would grouping the controls onto the pages of a tab control eliminate the need for many (all?) of the enable/disable changes and make a simpler user interface at the same time?
Get Ref VI - To set this up do you simply
1. drag a ref of each control into that VI
2. bundle it by name
3. then pass it out as a cluster?
This thread shows a short-cut to creating the cluster in the first place.
Then i save it as a type def.
And for those that knew all of tht already...
In the init case I convert the cluster to an array and check to make sure all of the refs are valid. If any are not (happens when adding controls later like you forget to wire the ref) I return an erro and prevent the app from even starting.
Have fun!
[set Proud G-Daddy mode]
One of my rookies* wrote an XControl that discovers all of the controls and indicators on all FP automatically and lets us do what I showed above without having to wire the refs to the cluster.
The hard part was figuring out how to implement it such that it did not put any dependacies on the caller.
I'll let the more ambish out there think abou that one for a while.
[Set Proud G-Daddy mode = False]
* My rookies are certified LV architects so don't get the idea this challnge is easy. and BTW, no scripting required.
While it may not be optimal - You can open a reference to the front panel and pass that into subVIs. With that panel reference you can then get and set the value of controls on the front panel by name.
I did this back in LabVIEW 6i when I had a program with >300 controls on various tab pages. The block diagram looked like just a place to store terminals while the main program just got the local reference then had 3 subVIs (Init, Run, Shutdown).
Here is open reference (by VI name), Set Value and Get value (for a boolean):
Also, here's a tool which greatly simplifies the creation of the cluster - select the controls you want, right click, select the option et voila - you have the typedef cluster already bundled.
If you want a simplistic example showing this kind of control, you can look at this one, but I assume you don't need it. Also, as mentioned in that post, I would probably have done things differently if it was real.
A couple of caveats to look out for:

How does an XControl come into play when doing something like this? I suppose it's easier to use if you don't have something like the JKI RCF installed, but you could also just open it from the tools menu.

SANFORD, Fla. - Defense attorneys for George Zimmerman say the previously dismissed potential juror who was escorted from the courthouse after attempting to go into the jury assembly quarter could have cost the court system lots of money and a week of time.
Attorney Mark O'Mara spoke after Friday's jury selection proceedings, calling "stealth juror" Jerry Counelis' trespassing "devastating to this process" and could have cost the system tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The 55-year-old unemployed painter and guitar player was eliminated from the jury pool on Wednesday after defense attorneys found a posting from him on a Facebook page from 2012.
Counelis was at the courthouse on Friday during the lunch hour complaining about his anonymity and saying he is hiring an attorney. According to the trespassing report, Counelis walked into the foyer of the jury assembly and expressed his privacy concerns and animosity toward the jury process to the clerk.
Authorities approached him and said that as a dismissed juror he could not be in the jury assembly area or have any contact with potential jurors until after the trial.
Counelis then said, "do they know what they are in for!" pointing to the jury assembly room.
He was trespassed by authorities after about 30 minutes.

THE second Andover Young Musician of the Year event held at St Mary's Church on Thursday took up where last year's event left off by setting an amazingly high standard of musicianship across a wide spectrum of disciplines.
This year the 15 acts drawn from five local schools – Harrow Way, Rookwood, John Hanson, Testbourne and Test Valley – were again divided into popular and classical.
After each performance in the church, a judging panel of three expert performers gave their opinions to the assembled capacity audience who had the democratic task of deciding the eventual winners.
The judges were encouraging with their comments while at the same time acting as critical friends..
In the popular music category there was a wide choice, but one solo singer excelled with a voice which simply demanded that you listened and enjoyed it.
Courtnie Marsh from John Hanson School sang 'Read All About it' by Emeli Sande to a spellbound audience.
She certainly delighted the judges who lauded her tremendous range with composer Julian Dawes describing it as 'a real performance'.
Others competing in the popular section were also acclaimed.
Rookwood's Natasha Hansen and Harry Larcombe with Acker Bilk's 'Stranger on the Shore' were widely praised for their contribution.
Judge Joe Scicluna, said: "For those of us of a certain age this brought back memories, it was played with real feeling, played well and together."
Emily Gibbs also stood out as she performed 'I Don't Know How to Love Him' from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Judge Julian Dawes said: "It was a brave choice because it is a very big song".
Of three pop bands in the competition The Reverant from Test Valley School drew greatest praise with their own composition 'All I need' – with the distinctive and strong vocals attracting the most attention.

Video: Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Headphones
Most of the people appearing in our videos are employees at Crutchfield. We pull in folks from around the company to share their expertise. A lot of our on-camera stars come from our Advisor Group — they help people choose the right gear via phone, email and chat every day, so they're good at explaining the products and technologies.
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 Beats by Dr. Dre are stylish on-ear headphones that deliver accurate, hard-hitting sound.
Video TranscriptJack:
So I took these headphones home for the weekend, and got to try them out. And these are the Beats by Dr. Dre., and so of course when I started listening to music, went for the Dr. Dre.: had to sample it up. And the clarity of the music was awesome from start to finish. Kind of went even a little farther outside of the box: went from some heavy metal all the way down to some easy listening and it was great. Clarity crystal clear all the way through. And then in terms of comfort I like everything about it. Good on my ears. Also, what's cool is they look sleek and I like that. I like to look professional even if I'm home in my kitchen.
They're lightweight and fold up so they're great for traveling. There's a built-in remote to control the music on you iPod or iPhone. Because there's a microphone built in, you can talk on your phone hands free.
If you need more information on these headphones go to crutchfield.com/BeatsSolo. If you buy from Crutchfield you'll get technical support for as long as you own your headphones. And if you need advice on buying headphones give us a call or e-mail us or chat with us online.
