They didn't have a fancy wedding – just a quickie in Las Vegas nine years ago – and Anna and Robert Seymore longed for more.
The El Cajon couple had to go through hell to get it.
Anna nearly died of necrotizing fasciitis, the flesh-eating bacteria, which has left her so scarred she can't wear a bathing suit. Doctors once told Robert that his wife had only a 10 percent chance to live.
Beating those odds made winning a contest for a free wedding ceremony look a whole lot easier. The couple, one of 30 chosen, renewed their vows yesterday in front of their two children and 25 other family members and friends.
"I cannot promise you everything, but I can promise you I'll love you the rest of your life," Robert told Anna at the altar at North Chapel in Point Loma.
Said Anna: "I love you more today than I ever have."
With that, the Rev. Gregory Pratt, who officiated at 26 of the ceremonies, pronounced the Seymores "once again, forever and always, husband and wife."
The Seymores and the other couples received the all-expenses-paid nuptials courtesy of soft-rock radio station KYXY. A new ceremony started every 20 minutes for 10 hours.
The radio station sifted through more than 180 entries to find the winning pairs.
One of the winning couples, Martin and Jennifer Garibay, monitored some of the weddings via a webcast at their San Carlos home, but they also watched a movie four hours before they got hitched. The choice: "My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
The Garibays, both 40, stayed together for seven years despite being forced from their home in 2006 because they couldn't pay the rent. They slept in hotels and on friends' couches for two months.
"We had our moments when things were rocky," said Jennifer, a bookkeeper. "But we always knew we were made for each other."
The Seymores began dating while Robert was in the Marines. They married in 2000, without family or friends to witness the nuptials.
"I was in a tank top and shorts," said Anna, a caseworker at a homeless shelter. "It was literally a $10 special."
About a year after her 5-year-old son, Jeremiah, was born, Anna began feeling tired. She attributed the fatigue to stress, but then she began having difficulty using the restroom. When she noticed serious discoloration in her skin, Robert insisted that she go to the hospital.
Doctors told her that an infection had set in near her colon. The situation became so dire that Robert's parents offered to give up their burial plot for Anna.
"If she would have waited another day, she wouldn't have made it," said Robert, 35.
Anna, 30, endured a 40-day hospital stay and numerous setbacks, including 16 operations and two skin grafts. The infection flared anew three times, most recently in December. She had one more surgery last month, and another is scheduled for April.
Through it all, she said, Robert not only took over child care and other household tasks, but also dressed her wounds, which often had to remain open during her recovery. It's something, she said, "that a lot of men wouldn't have been able to handle."
Robert, an electrician, said "it was really hard. It tested me big time."
Anna entered the contest without telling her husband. When she called him to say they had won a ceremony to renew their vows, "I was like, 'Gosh, I thought we were already married,' " Robert said.
His enthusiasm increased as the day approached. He suggested they write their own vows, and he said he has enjoyed watching Anna make arrangements to have her brother, Donald Kaiser, walk her down the aisle, and her sister, Jennifer Ulmer, act as her matron of honor.
Anna's doctors think the spring surgery should stop the infection for good. With Anna often out of work because of illness, the couple also have had money problems. Robert said the wedding represents a milestone, one that hopefully will mark the point that they put their woes behind them.
"She really believes so," he said. "I believe so."

When Kim Kardashian hit the MTV VMAs red carpet in a printed Balmain minidress, we weren't necessarily surprised. Not only was it an attention-grabbing, cleavage-baring look that has become the norm for the reality star, but it was designed by one of her favorite, most-turned-to fashion houses. What did leave our mouths agape was when supermodel Joan Smalls turned up moments later in a nearly identical dress from the same Balmain resort 2015 collection.
Sure, it's hard not to find two dresses by the same designer on one red carpet as big as this one (in fact, fellow models Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman also stepped out in Balmain last night), but these two dresses? Aside from Joan's high neckline compared to Kim's plunging deep-V and a slightly different color pattern, they looked nearly identical. We've zoomed in on each look and laid out the facts. See all the similarities below, and then tell us — who wore it better?

I was referred to the agency when I was desperate to avoid eviction and was under extreme stress. The case manager asked me to bring $100 cash to her and the necessary documents. When I met her the next day, she collected the money and completed the paperwork...where I witnessed her writing/documentin my financial contribution.
I learned from my Landlord that they received only the partial payment....when I called the Detroit based agency back, the supervisor told me there was nothing she could do until the employee returned from her two week vacation. When I called back to get the name of the Board Chair to write my letter of concern, she was defensive however, she put him on the phone (he had be briefed by her already). They failed to offer any alternative assistance. I proposed a meeting for which he agreed, however, his tone was dismissive and rude. BE VERY CAUTIOUS OF PROVIDING YOUR INFORMATION and anything else TO THIS AGENCY. The staff was secretive and resisted giving me the names of key managers there....I had to do research on my own in order to get names, so that I could file complaints with relevant parties. He said he didnt care...to go ahead and do so.

Badgers cull gets go-ahead
UP to 5,000 badgers are to be killed this year after a cull was given the go-ahead yesterday.
Two four-year culls in west Gloucestershire and west Somerset aim to halt the spread of TB in cattle.
Environment Secretary Owen Paterson announced the move at the National Farmers Union annual conference yesterday.
NFU president Peter Kendall said: "These badger controls play an absolutely essential part in the TB eradication programme.
These badger controls play an absolutely essential part in the TB eradication programme.
But the Badger Trust said a cull could make things worse, spreading badgers further afield. And RSPCA boss Gavin Grant insisted: "It's not the answer."
A planned cull last year had to be stopped in the face of huge public opposition.
This time a reserve culling area is to be prepared in Dorset in case one of the two main culls is stopped.

BERLIN, July 26 (UPI) -- Japanese conductor Eiji Oue this week became the first Asian conductor at Germany's annual Bayreuth Music Festival, dedicated to the works of Richard Wagner.
Oue, music director of the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra, opened the festival Monday by conducting Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde," the Mainichi Shimbun reported Tuesday.
Oue's energetic performance drew the cheers and applause of listeners, local reports said.
German President Horst Kohler and leading figures from political and business circles were present at the Bayreuth Theater on the festival's opening day.
Oue, born in Hiroshima prefecture, went to the United States in 1978, where he studied conducting under Leonard Bernstein. He became the music director of the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra in 2003.
The Bayreuth Music Festival was founded in 1876 to perform Wagner's works.

The old town hall for Sonoma
One of the old hotels
The old barracks
The Bear Flag Monument
The Sebastiani Theater. The first theater to show 'Toy Story'.
Mmmmmm.. Irish Pub. I know where Oogie is having dinner tonight.
The list of movies and panels that were being presented on Saturday.
From all the decorations that had been brought in to the lobby, I thought it was a good guess that I was at the right place.
I couldn't resist getting this one...
Leslie Iwerks
The movie will be shown next at the Cannes Film festival, and will hopefully be available soon here in the US for the general public. Incidentally, you may recognize her last name....Leslie is the grand daughter of Ub Iwerks, one of the men who helped Walt Disney produce the early Mickey Mouse cartoons.
After the movie was over, I came outside to find that the weather was starting to clear and that Starbucks and some local wineries had opened up a tasting center.
Snack Crackers
The all you can drink wine bar.
Luxo Jr.
Tin Toy
Knick Knack
Mater and the Ghostlights
After this I had a little over an hour before the next film started, so I went out to get some pictures of downtown Sonoma and grab some lunch.
The Mission's Gardens
As you can see, Sonoma is a pretty historic town.
Don't let the name on this place fool you. They do have some killer cheese, but they also make a great deli sandwich and offer the freshest of fruit from the Somoma valley.
As I took my seat in the gymnasium turned theater, I took careful note of who was sitting around me this time. As it turned out, I got lucky as the person who was seated in front of me was none other than John Lasseter.
Mark Andrews (Johnny Quest, Iron Giant, Spiderman, and The Incredibles)
Ronnie DeCarmen (Batman animated series, and Finding Nemo)
And Jim Capobianco (Hunchback of Notre Dame, Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Bugs Life)
For Scripts, they spoke about how when a story is presented to them, they are not given a script to work from. Usually the director or someone will come in with a page or 2 at a time and tell them to draw it out. The story sketchers then take the script or idea which the director has given them, create the scene and the sequence in their heads, draw it out, then put the drawings up on a story board.
The story reel process is when the story artists sell their ideas to the director. The director will listen to their pitch and then give his input on it. To show us just what happens in one of these meetings, they showed a clip of Pixar story artist Joe Ranft giving the pitch for the scene in Monsters Inc where Mike is telling Sully to put Boo back, then having to make up the musical number because everyone is watching him.
After the panel was over, I heard that the red carpet affair had been canceled because of the weather, but be back at the theater at 6:15 for the tribute, so I headed down to 7-11 for a slurpee and some beef jerky, and then on to a place in Sonoma that my grandparents used to take me to when I was very young. Train Town.
The trains are all 1/4 scale, and a trip on one takes about 20 minutes.
Looks like the steam engine is down for repairs..
A view of the grounds at Train Town
I got back just in time to get a few more glasses of wine, and to catch the honored guests of the evening showing up. At a little after 6:15, they let everyone in. It was a sea of people dressed in outfits that costs hundred of dollars, while I was in blue jeans, sneakers, and a Nightmare Before Christmas jeans jacket. Hey the Boogie Man knows class. .
While I was outside 'sampling' some more wine, I managed to catch a few people trying to quietly sneak into the theater.
Robin Williams
Tony Shalhoub
Cheech Marin
John Lasseter
The evening winded down with a presentation of a custom made glass wine decanter that rolled to properly air the wine, and a bottle of wine made of grapes from a 120 year old vine to Mr. Lasseter. After that the crowds filtered out of the veterans hall to their cars and over to the Cline Cellars Winery for the festival gala. I took a side trip back to the Irish Pub I saw this morning for a pint of Guinness before heading over to the Winery. Apparently though a lot of people wanted to go too, because when I arrived at the Winery, the parking lot was full. I later found out that the gala event started at 7:45, during the middle of the tribute. The parking lot filled up soon after that, so I decided to head home. Incidently, there was a movie playing at this same time called 'Finding Kraftland'.
It's the story of a fanatical Disney collector, pop culture, and his relationship with his son. It sounded like it was a good movie and well worth seeing.

Guest Column: Shoulder pain relief
By Dr. R.G. Hotchkiss
Center for Shoulder Pain
For many years in my practice, patients would complain of trouble with their shoulders and of shoulder pain. I would then perform diagnostic procedures, both clinical and by X-ray and other methods to determine the cause. On some occasions, the pain could be diagnosed as resulting from osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, or torn rotator cuff. Such diagnosis would result in specific treatments and/or referrals to other specialists. It was amazing, though, that in most of the cases where the patient was complaining of shoulder pain, no specific cause could be identified. The discomfort and mobility problems that the patient was experiencing were real enough, but the cause was not specifically identifiable.
When such cases were found, standard chiropractic treatments were used in an attempt to alleviate the problem. Although these treatments tended to reduce or alleviate the symptoms, they would tend to reappear within one to seven days, which would require the patient to return for additional treatment in an attempt to re-establish the positive results of the first treatments.
Several years ago, I met Dr. Pat E. Belcher, a chiropractor from Atlanta. This doctor was the developer of a new technology called "Intracell." That system is successfully used to treat several soft tissue disorders, including fibromyalgia syndrome, a disorder of generalized muscular pains, aches, soreness and stiffness. I initially became interested in that technology as a treatment for complaints of diffused muscular pains and symptoms. Some research into the technology reveals that it had been approved by the Georgia State Board of Occupational Therapy and had been abstracted by Florida State University in a study of muscular flexibility, power and strength. I also discovered that several athletic groups used this system, including athletes from Tour de France as well as Olympic bobsledding.
I, therefore, ordered the roller devices, which are used in this Intracell system, and started to use them in my practice as one general method of addressing muscular problems. In doing so, I established a study format where I used feedback from the patients to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. Initially, however, I was not using the Intracell specifically to address idiopathic (no known cause) shoulder girdle pain.
About four years ago, I had a male patient in his mid-50s complaining of long-term direct and referred pain in his shoulder area. This patient indicated to me that he had been to several doctors who had performed different diagnoses and X-rays, but that no cause or treatment for his problem could be found. I then decided to try Intracell on the patient's shoulder. When I did so, he indicated that there were areas of the muscular soreness, but that he could feel the results of the Intracell in his fingers and arm on the same side as the shoulder complaint. The initial treatment resulted in a reduction of the shoulder pain, plus increased mobility. The initial treatment was so successful that the patient returned, and we set up a program to work with him over several visits. As a result, the symptoms were entirely relieved, and mobility returned to normal for an individual in his age group. That was four years ago, and the patient has not had a recurrence of that shoulder problem.
Having such a treatment regime work on just one patient could be anomaly. I, therefor, started to use the Intracell technology on every patient who presented with idiopathic shoulder pain. In the interim, I have used this system on several hundred patients with results very similar to those experienced by the first patient. I have found that, with the exception of torn rotator cuff, frozen shoulder and other systemic health problems such as diabetes or thyroid dysfunction, the treatment was effective in a very high percentage of the patients on whom it was used. It should be noted that many of the patients came to me by referral from other patients who had experienced relief as a result of my treatment. They were really last-resort type patients who had tried every other treatment and/or the use of pain killers and anodynes with no positive results. I found myself working with patients who came to me after several treatments had failed.
The experience of working with hundreds of patients has allowed me to develop and refine the techniques that I have used in this treatment for shoulder problems with the result that effectiveness of the treatment has been even better over time.
Dr. R.G. Hotchkiss has practiced chiropractic in Rochelle and Rockford for more than 30 years. He received his D.C.—Doctor of Chiropractic—degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, in 1974. Dr. Hotchkiss has completed advanced post-graduate studies for carpal tunnel syndrome and was an instructor for the Physician's Academy in Dallas, for several years.

Dark Souls 2's open world 'will be unique for all players'
From Software is creating a new, more much open world for Dark Souls 2 than what players saw in the previous title.
Game director Yui Tanimura told Digital Spy, "In Dark Souls 2, we're hoping we can provide more freedom so things don't have to necessarily be done in a certain order," unlike in Dark Souls 1.
"We're hoping that if the player tries hard enough, or are willing enough, they could even start halfway through the game, depending on how willing or how brave they are," said Tanimura.
The way players reach the final stages of the game "will be unique for all players, I think," he said.
Dark Souls 2 is coming out for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, but open progression was also a common theme among many of the next-gen games we saw at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last month, probably due to advancements in cloud technology.

On today's mediabistro.com Morning Media Menu, ABC News' John Quiñones talks with us about his "Primetime" series "What Would You Do?" which returns to the air tonight on ABC at 9pmET.
A "candid-camera with an ethical twist," the show manufacturers interesting moral dilemmas using actors mixed with random passerby to see how they react. Quiñones tells us, "Sometimes people are amused, sometimes they're shocked and angry, but in the end we're always encouraged by how ordinary people who don't know they're on hidden camera react when they see something that seems unfair or out of whack."
Having started at ABC News in 1982, he also told us a bit about the changes the network has gone through including the recent staff buyouts. He says, "It's been a really tough time, there's no getting around it…but the whole business has changed. We can't cover the news the way we used to."
The show was hosted by AgencySpy editor Matt Van Hoven and TVNewser editor Kevin Allocca. You can listen to all the past podcasts archived at mediabistro.com or download episodes for free on iTunes.
After the jump, see clips from the new season of "What Would You Do?"

PEZ collectors around the globe may find themselves envious of John Lasseter.
The Academy Award-winning Disney/Pixar animation chief and Glen Ellen resident was presented with a limited edition handmade set of PEZ dispensers that celebrate the relationship between Disney/Pixar and one of its most popular and prolific voiceover talents, John Ratzenberger.
Ratzenberger is the only actor who has voiced a character in all of the Pixar movies, most recently as Gordon in "Brave." Television viewers may remember Ratzenberger for his role as mailman Cliff Clavin on "Cheers."
PEZ has a long relationship with Disney and has turned many of its film characters into PEZ dispensers.
"In fact, we are their second-oldest licensee and it just seemed to be a perfect fit," noted Shawn Peterson, a project manager with PEZ Candy, Inc.
Now, Lasseter has one of only three limited-edition sets highlighting Ratzenberger's roles. The actor also has one set and the final one is on display in the visitor's center at PEZ headquarters in Orange, Conn.
Lasseter was presented with his set earlier this month. His dedication from Ratzenberger reads: "To our friend John … From the bottom of our dispensers, thank you for letting us play in your sandbox all these years. Your bud and forever fan, J. Ratz."
PEZ candy was created in Vienna, Austria in 1927 as a compressed peppermint candy, taking its name from the German word for peppermint, "pfefferminz."
The dispensers were invented in 1927 and have been produced ever since to reflect current trends in pop culture. The dispensers are sold in more than 80 countries.
More than 3 billion PEZ candy are consumed each year in the U.S. alone.
PEZ dispensers have a wide following of collectors, with some of the oldest dispensers selling for thousands of dollars.
When PEZ posted a photo of Lasseter and Ratzenberger with their dispensers on its Facebook page, it quickly generated comments like, "I need those PEZ," "Please make this a set," and "I would love to have those."
The characters featured in the special set are:
Ham from "Toy Story" and its sequels (1995, 1999 and 2010)
P.T. Flea from "A Bug's Life" (1998)
The Abominable Snowman from "Monsters, Inc." and "Monsters University" (2001, 2003)
Moonfish from "Finding Nemo" (2003)
The Underminer from "The Incredibles" (2004);
Mack from "Cars" and "Cars 2″ (2006, 2011)
Mustafa from "Ratatouille" (2007)
John from "Wall-E" (2008)
Tom from "Up" (2009)
Gordon from "Brave" (2012)

ORLANDO, Fla. - How early can you diagnose autism? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends screening children beginning at 18 months, but research suggests subtle warning signs may be apparent even earlier, according to Patricia Manning-Courtney, MD, FAAP, who delivered a plenary address at 11:10 a.m. ET Tuesday, Oct. 29, at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and Exhibition in Orlando.
In her presentation, "Early Screening and Diagnosis in Autism Spectrum Disorders: How Low Can we Go," Dr. Manning-Courtney described studies of siblings of children with autism that helped detect very subtle behaviors that may surface before age 18 months. The earlier a child is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, the earlier critical behavioral and learning interventions can begin.
At age six months, it is very difficult to distinguish kids with autism and kids without autism, said Dr. Manning-Courtney, who is the director of the Kelly O'Leary Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. From age 12 to 18 months, there may be extremely subtle differences-- too subtle and infrequent to incorporate into diagnostic criteria--in eye contact, visual tracking behavior and play. These children may have more limited and repetitive play, less name response and social smiling, babbling and gesture use.
Pediatricians are sensitive to how overburdened the resources are for children with autism, Dr. Manning-Courntey said, and do not want to further strain the system with an incorrect referral to a specialist. But children at high risk for autism, including siblings of children with autism, should have a lower threshold for concerning behaviors.
"If you have some of these bigger concerns you can and should refer these children," Dr. Manning-Courtney said. A referral can be made to a developmental pediatrician or a multi-disciplinary diagnostic team that may include a neurologist, psychologist, or other health care professionals with expertise in diagnosing autism.
"I hope pediatricians leave with an understanding that they may be able to pick up on things in very young children, even further than that appearing on an MCHAT (Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers) or other screening tools," said Dr. Manning-Courtney.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 60,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults.

Age of Decadence - February Update
Vince has posted the February update for The Age of Decadence, saying the wait is almost over for the demo release. Here's the entire post but head over for a couple of new screens that feature the updated (and very nice) minimal UI:
Short version: the wait is almost over; the demo will be released in 2 weeks.
Long version: I've just realized that it's been seven months since we've started testing. It's hard to believe that it's been that long, that the fall and the winter seasons are already over. You get so focused on daily tasks, which pile up faster than you can handle them, that you don't really notice how fast time flies. You look back, but you don't really feel it. Only when you actually count the months, you realize - in shock - how long it's taken.
So, 7 months, 1,900 posts in the beta forums, and 12 builds later (Oscar has just uploaded a new update), we're getting ready to release the demo - as public beta - to our audience.
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank our testers (whom I really can't thank enough). Their input has kept us very busy all these months, kept us working/reworking/tweaking/adding/fixing/breaking shit accidentally and fixing again. Looking back, I realize that back in August we gave the testers a very flawed game and they helped us turn it into a game that we're proud to give you now. It's not perfect in any way, but it's solid.
There were a lot of great ideas and suggestions and I wish we could implement them all, but there is only so much four people can do, even in seven months. Special thanks to people who have encouraged us to take more time to get it right.
I hope you'll enjoy the game.
Thanks to Capt. Huggy Face for sending it in and GhanBuriGhan on our forums.
While we're on AoD, Garthak sent in a Russian preview from Core-RPG.ru. If your Russian is a little rusty like mine, you can try a Google translation.

A quick, coordinated effort by Twin Cities-area social service agencies has saved housing subsidies for 45 homeless youth — and participants said they hope the effort provides an example for how to dismantle nonprofit organizations without harming the clients they serve.
The housing subsidies had been managed by Freeport West, a 41-year-old social services agency that provided affordable housing and street outreach for homeless youth. The Minneapolis-based agency struggled last year with financial problems and allegations of mismanagement. The board fired its executive director in March 2011 and tried to straighten out its finances, but the agency continued to lose major contracts.
By December, the board was faced with two options — try to maintain the few remaining programs that brought in money or voluntarily give up most of its funding to make sure the programs had a stable home. To give up the remaining programs would almost certainly shutter the agency, but that's what the board decided to do.
Interim Executive Director Dorothy Abellard said she recommended that decision, even though it meant that she would lose her job.
"It was incredibly hard," she said. "It was not something that any of us wanted to do, but we knew that at the end of the day, it wasn't about us. It was about the kids in housing and all the other kids that we serve."
The agency worked closely with the Minneapolis office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and local agencies to coordinate the program transfers. Lutheran Social Services took over the administration of the street outreach program StreetWorks. The Link took over two housing programs that provide subsidized housing for 45 homeless teenagers. Three case managers and a program director from Freeport West accepted jobs at the two agencies. By the end of December, the transfer was finished. Many teenagers never even noticed the change, agency staff said.
"The fact that we were all able to get our ducks lined up in a row and make this happen very quickly, I think that's what really helped ensure that there were no gaps in services, that the ball didn't fall through the cracks," said Peter Rosenblatt, executive director of The Link.
"It wasn't about us. It was about the kids in housing and all the other kids that we serve."Freeport West's Dorothy Abellard
Forty-five units of affordable housing might not seem like a lot, Abellard acknowledged, but she said it's "a huge number" for the Twin Cities. There are just 93 shelter beds in the Twin Cities for homeless youth who are on the streets without their parents. A 2009 count by the Wilder Foundation found 108 "unaccompanied minors" and 651 people ages 18 to 21 who are homeless in the metro area. The actual number of homeless teenagers is much higher, Wilder Foundation researcher Michelle Gerrard said, because many young people who are homeless stay with friends or in abandoned buildings and other out-of-the-way locations and do not receive social services.
Much of the funding for the transferred programs came from HUD. In recent years, HUD has shifted away from funding supportive and transitional programs like the ones at Freeport West, said Sarah Bergen, a HUD staffer in Minneapolis who helped coordinate the program transfers.
Instead, Bergen said, most new HUD money in the Twin Cities is directed at permanent housing for people who are considered chronically homeless. That meant that once funding for supportive services and transitional housing was gone, it was unlikely to return anytime soon.
"There's no other way that HUD could replace that funding," Bergen said. "That's why this was so important."
Susan Phillips, director of homeless youth services at Lutheran Social Services, praised HUD's handling of the situation.
"They could've just chosen to cancel those contracts," Phillips said. "Instead, they worked really hard with the broader community to find a home for these programs."
A few programs could not be transferred to other agencies. They include a program that helps youth learn how to live independently and a program focused on health and wellness. The closing of Freeport West also meant the end of free lunches and dinners for homeless teenagers at the agency's headquarters. Abellard said she hopes youth are able to find those services at other agencies.
The Freeport West board has not formally dissolved the agency. Abellard said the group is trying to sell its headquarters to pay down debts and still hopes it can rebuild the organization with a different focus. "As you rebuild, you have to ask what is your niche going to be and what are you going to do that's as awesome as what you did before," she said.
As for Abellard, she remains out of work. The mother of two said she's looking for a new job and has no regrets about the decision to close the agency's programs.
"I always said that I'm going to get another job, but the youth that we provide services to, are they going to find more stable housing on their own?" she said. "That was a risk that I was not willing to take."

I am in the exact same place I was a year ago, which is frustrating. (I don't mean physical place, though that, too.)
A year ago, I had just moved out here and I didn't know where or if I'd be teaching in the fall. And lots of my friends who wanted jobs had them lined up, and lots of my friends who didn't want jobs yet didn't understand my frustration and impatience. Eventually, it all worked out.The Monday after my graduation weekend, I got a call for a possible job, and on the Tuesday I went for an interview and got a job teaching in my two major areas, in my town. So I went into the summer knowing I'd have a job in the fall. And I've been teaching there all school year and I freaking love it.
The job was originally supposed to end next week, on the 16th, because I'm covering a maternity leave, but the lady wanted to stay at home with her baby for longer so I get to stay until the end of the school year (which is the end of June). But so far, I have nothing lined up after that. And most people are in the same boat because public schools are government-funded and nobody finds out until later this month how much money they get for next year, which determines how many people they can hire etc etc etc. So it will be a while before I know anything for sure. But still.... I am super impatient and I want to know NOW.
I spoke to my sister last night and she is in a similar situation. She is not exactly where she wants to be and although in her case she knows she'll end up there, she is impatient and wants to be there now instead of waiting.
My sister believes everything happens for a reason and there are forces in the universe guiding us towards our destinies and if we think positively, the things we want will happen.
I don't believe any of that, but our conversation did help put things in perspective for me and remind me that when things are out of my control I just have to do what I can and focus on the things I can control instead of driving myself crazy worrying about the bigger things.
So I made this for Lisa. and for me.

Tutorial Tuesday with Thirty Times Three
Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday - If you are new here, this party is to showcase your weekly tutorials. What counts as a tutorial? Anything to "teach me stuff" counts - a recipe, a kid's craft, a DIY project, how you got your baby to sleep through the night ... I'm not picky.
My weekly tutorial: Paint Chip Mosaic.
This week my feature is a little bit different. I began corresponding with my 1000th follower a few weeks ago and we decided a feature was in order to thank her and to help get her new blog off the ground. So let's meet Kristina from Thirty-Times-Three! That's her picture up there - isn't she a doll?
This girl is busy...so hold on tight! Kristina has two full time jobs, the art director for a teen magazine called Atlanta Girl and visual merchandiser at Bleu Dame boutique. I love the fresh and funky vibe of both! Oh, did I mention she is also a full time student at the Art Institute of Atlanta? Well, she is. Oh, and she blogs, and tweets. No. Joke.
In Kristina's own words she is a: "Collector of owl things and Alice in Wonderland books, terrible cook, lover of dogs, flash game artist, and aspiring product/advertisement designer. My goal is to be the next Pioneer Woman and Margot Elena all wrapped into one tiny 21 year old package!" (I confess, I guess I'm too unhip to know Margot Elena ,I had to google her and I spelled it wrong! But I'm a new fan.)
Oh, you know she's an artist, right? Check out my fave:
While browsing her blog, I found some really great stuff! Check out her tutorial Screen Printing 101 using items most of us have around the house!
Do you have an Etsy shop or some other business you need to promote? Check out this amazingly simple yet brilliant marketing idea she came up with to drive customers to her store!
Okay, one more - Water Bottle Flowers! Yikes - I love recycling projects!
So, yeah, this girl pretty much rocks. She brings out the hip in me, inspires me, and exhausts me with her endless creativity. My 1000th follower is pretty darn special. I'm so glad I met her.
Since Kristina is an artist, she is offering up a custom prize to one lucky participant this week...8 x 10 acrylic painting of the animal/critter of your choice. To see some examples of Kristina's work, check out her Flickr.
Want to win?
Either link up with our party (rules are below)
Click on over to "follow" Thirty-Times-Three. Easy peasy, right?
Please... (this is the part at the end of the commercial when the announcer talks real fast)
* Link up using the link to your actual post (not your general blog address) using your name and a the subject of your tutorial to generate interest.
* Add my button or a clickable link back to this post so everyone can join in.

I am planning to download Linux. Should i get redhat or mandrake? Any good and bad points for both of them?
I am planning to download Linux. Should i get redhat or mandrake? Any good and bad points for both of them?
Guess what I'm going to say?
If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to see it, do the other trees make fun of it?
Mandrake, if you're a newbie... Red Hat if you want to dive in head first... either is ok, Mandrake is a little more nice. Neither will hold your hand so strap yourself in.
I am newbie, but if i choose mandrake, would i learn less about Linux? I mean, would mandrake has less commands or hide some of the difficulties and complexity that will in fact help if they aren't hidden...
Last edited by Nutshell; 02-21-2002 at 03:29 AM.
Mandrake will save you headaches. It's still a true linux distro and all.
Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud
Read my livejournal
any OTHER distros for linux-beginners?
i went to mandrake home page, there is this Linux for i586. What is i586, i guess i have to download that but i want to know what it is.
Last edited by Nutshell; 02-21-2002 at 06:58 AM.
it means it's setup for an intel based 586 processor (not meaning Intel, the chip maker... it means the x86 design) ... 586 is equivalent to anything above ... I think the origional pentium level... but yes, that's the one you want...
I could be wrong on some of that, but that's what I've read/been told
Download ISO's so you can burn them.
What will people say if they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do if they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak, there is no disguising the truth!
Jesus Freak, D.C. Talk
I hear Caldera OpenLinux is good for nix newbies.
Thats fine. I already installed mandrake linux, first i had difficulties setting up internet connection, but it's solved now. I guess i will play around wif it and then ask some more questions....

Question? - Don't Come Back
Premiered in June, Me and a Gun found Question? revealing the ugly truth about the ever-popular hip-hop topic of gunplay. On Don't Come Back, also making its world premiere in the Booth, the San Antonio rapper gives us another reality check, demonstrating just how much destruction drugs and alcohol can wreak not only upon an addict, but also those around him. Backed by D.A.'s haunting acoustic-guitar beat (the producer also contributes a sung hook), Question? steps into the role of an alcoholic addressing his live-in girlfriend, recounting a litany of abuses that range from unsettling to jaw-dropping—and that's only verse one. A well-crafted cut that starts off pitch-black and only gets darker, DCB won't be everyone's cup of tea, but Question?'s storytelling skills are undeniably impressive, and his willingness to speak from the perspective of the abuser makes the track all the more chilling. Rehab is set to drop this fall, and fans should keep it locked to the Booth for Question?'s exclusive "In the Mix" interview, coming soon!

The marked channel to Smokehouse Bay anchorage cuts off the Capri Pass channel near the northern tip of Marco Island. While we have always found MLW depths here to be as thin as 4 1/2 feet, this passage does indeed lead to a super anchorage, offering great protection from foul weather, on Smokehouse Bay.
Captain Nicole mentions nearby "Esplanade Marina" in her comments below. We are NOT yet familiar with this facility, and would like to learn more. Those who have previously visited this facility, please click the "Comment on This Posting/Marina/Anchorage/Bridge" link below, and share your information.
Chris, the dockmaster at Esplanade, is fantastic. Give him the courtesy of checking in with him (we walked over from the dinghy dock at Winn Dixie) and he will treat you like gold. Fantastic guy.
It was mentioned to us that other cruising boats have "snuck†onto the dock early in the morning to take on water and leave their trash. The marina considers this trespassing, just a word to the wise. (besides if you ask the dockmaster he will probably let you do both of these things, just ask!)
One warning: We were warned by a helpful person on the dock that if you anchor here for more than 4 consecutive nights the shoreside neighbors will call the Coast Guard and tell them you have been there for a long time and must be pumping out in the water. Apparently the CG will then send one of their small boats to visit you and I assume, do a safety and head check. Not a big deal (kind of a waste of the CGs time I think) but good to know in the event in happens to you.
Esplanade will pump you out for free if you give them a call on VHF 16.

Most folks are split down the middle on Cam Newton's future in the NFL.
But nobody has compared him to former Oregon quarterback and one-year wonder Akili Smith … until now.
ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper did just that on Wednesday while hosting a conference call with the media.
"He was a one-year wonder. Akili Smith was a one-year wonder," Kiper said." "If you hit (on Newton), you could have a sensational quarterback for ten years. (But) if you miss, it sets you back three, four, five years."
In case you need a refresher on how bad Smith was, the former No. 3 overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft was 3-14 as a starting quarterback and his touchdown-to-interception was 5:13.
Jeez, Mel. Tell us how you really feel about Cam.

When Smart Countries - Like Israel - Go Dumb
The dedicated observer of Israel may well wonder if this is a smart country which at times conceives and implements policies of particular stupidity, or if this is a dumb country which at times brings off acts of brilliance. Recent examples:
The case attracts immediate interest and condemnation worldwide, not least because Israel has pledged that the embargo will not apply to humanitarian cases.
"I am against Hamas. Their acts and policies are wrong," one of the students, Abdulrahman Abdullah, declares openly.
"Israel talks about a Palestinian state. But who will build that state if we can get no training?" he tells The New York Times. "If we are talking about peace and mutual understanding, it means investing in people who will later contribute to Palestinian society."
The ban attracts the attention of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who voices surprise and disapproval. In a matter of days, with little fanfare and no explanation, an Israeli military spokesman announces that the Gazans will receive exit permits after individual security checks are complete.
And, just to render the policy entirely opaque, between 600 and 1,000 other Gazans will remain stranded, keen to study in foreign institutions but unable to leave the Strip.
A member of a southern kibbutz is killed while at work, the victim of a mortar barrage from neighboring Gaza, and the fourth Israeli to die in the shelling this year.
"The military blow against Gaza is closer than ever," Defense Minister Ehud Barak says, touring the site hours after the shelling. Echoes Ehud Olmert, an offensive appears to be "very close."
The tax revenues, which Israel collects on the PA's behalf, are a central pillar of the often shaky PA government, which Israel has nominally promised to support as a bulwark against the Fatah-led PA's rival Hamas.
The tax funds pay the salaries of more than 165,000 government employees in the West Bank, and thus are a main means of support for a large percentage of Palestinian extended families.
Fayyad had protested to the EU over continued settlement construction and West Bank IDF roadblocks, asking the European body and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to refrain from closer ties until "abides by international and human rights laws."
What does Israel do next? Without explanation and without a great deal of logic, the Finance Ministry forks over most of the money a week late, keeping a bit to cover debts it says the PA owes Israel for utility bills.
It is difficult not to discern a pattern here. Unable to decide between two mutually exclusive policies, Israel goes ahead and does both.
In so doing, it maintains the delicate fraying-tightrope act which allows both Ehud Barak, who is not even a member of Knesset and whose own sad party has had quite enough of him, and Ehud Olmert, whose chances of re-election are about the same as his chances of becoming the next Pope, to stay in office.
They will clearly sacrifice anything to this effort - peace prospects, Sderot and the western Negev, Gilad Shalit, the people of Gaza, the Israeli economy, what's left of their own integrity.
It may well be their only hope.
Too bad it robs us of what's left of ours.

Iterative Migration of Legacy Applications to CakePHP
By Ethan Rowe · Thursday, December 3, 2009
As Steph noted, we recently embarked on an adventure with a client who had a legacy PHP app. The app was initially developed in rapid fashion, with changing business goals along the way. Some effort was made at the outset with this vanilla PHP app to put key business logic in classes, but as often happens over time the cleanliness of those classes degraded. While much of the business rules and state management (i.e. database manipulation, session wrangling, authentication/access-control, etc.) were kept separate from the "views" (the PHP entry pages), the classes themselves became tightly coupled, overburdened with myriad responsibilities, etc.
This was a far cry from the stereotypical spaghetti PHP app, but nevertheless it needed some reorganization; all but the smallest changes inevitably required touching a wide range of classes and pages, and the code would only grow more brittle unless some serious refactoring took place.
We determined at the outset that getting the application moved into an established MVC framework would be of great benefit, and further determined that CakePHP would be a good choice. (This is the point where anybody reading will inevitably ask in comments "Why CakePHP instead of My Preferred Awesome Framework?" Sigh.) The client agreed. The question became: how do we get there from here?
I spent some time investigating and inevitably came across the well-regarded three-part blog series:
(The author of that series has a book out on the subject, as well.)
For somebody new to MVC application design, especially in the PHP space, the series (and presumably the related book) probably makes for pretty good reading. They present a decent approach to how the refactoring of legacy code can be accomplished. However, the series also appears to operate under the assumption that you're in a scrap-and-rebuild situation: the legacy app can essentially go nowhere for a few weeks while it gets gutted into CakePHP.
As noted in a review of the related book, the rebuild-it-all assumption doesn't apply to many real world situations. The more money your application makes, the more users it affects, the larger the feature set, the more likely it is that the business cannot afford to have an application sit in a code freeze while an entire rewrite takes place.
We ultimately opted for a different approach: iteratively migrate to CakePHP. The simplicity of the basic PHP paradigm makes this remarkably easy.
The basic steps:
- Rearrange the legacy application so it runs "within" CakePHP, with the CakePHP dispatcher handling the request but ultimately invoking the original legacy view
- Make adjustments to the legacy code such that it gets its database handle(s) from CakePHP rather than internally, it uses CakePHP's session, etc.
- New development can proceed within CakePHP; legacy logic can be refactored into CakePHP over time as the opportunity presents itself (or the situation demands)
Getting the application to run within CakePHP in this manner does not require that much effort. Of course, this would depend on your situation, but in the traditional model of presentation-oriented code relying on some business objects and a database, it works out. For the initial step:
- Prepare a basic CakePHP application
- Pull the legacy code into the CakePHP webroot, with the legacy pages moved under a new legacy/ subdirectory
- Prepare a "legacy" action in the default PageController that maps the requested URI path to a path relative to the legacy/ directory, then invokes the file living at that path
- Set up a new catch-all route that invokes this legacy action
After these steps, you have CakePHP fronting your legacy app, but otherwise not doing much else. A snippet of our code that deals with pulling in a legacy app page in this manner:
function includeLegacyPage($path = null) {
// map the path passed in or from the request to the legacy/ subdirectory
$cakeRequestPath = $path ? $path : $this->controller->params['url']['url'];
$path = WWW_ROOT . 'legacy/' . $cakeRequestPath;
// This just maps input arguments to globals
$this->prepareGlobals(array('cakeRequestPath' => $cakeRequestPath));
// Resolve directories to an index.php page as necessary
if (is_dir($path)) {
if(substr($path, -1) != '/')
$path .= '/';
$path .= 'index.php';
if (!file_exists($path)) {
try {
// buffer PHP output
// this "invokes" the legacy page and gathers its content
include $path;
// pull in the buffered content
$this->controller->output = ob_get_contents();
// stop output buffering
} catch (JackExceptionRedirect $e) {
// We adjusted the legacy app's redirect functions to throw a custom exception
// class that we catch here, so we can use CakePHP's native redirection
$this->controller->redirect($e->location, $e->getCode(), false);
} catch (Exception $e) {
// All other errors propagate up
throw $e;
$this->controller->autoRender = false;
$this->controller->autoLayout = false;
Our PageController's "legacy" action uses the above routine to pull in the legacy page.
The second step, of getting CakePHP to control the session, the database handle, etc., involves some minor hacks. They don't feel elegant. They go outside the MVC pattern. But they provide the crucial glue necessary to put CakePHP in charge.
- Make the controller's session available from a global; adjust legacy code to use it instead of direct use of the PHP session. This means that CakePHP controls the session configuration.
- Make the CakePHP database handle available from a global as well; adjust your legacy database initialization code so it simply uses the global handle from CakePHP. Now CakePHP controls your database configuration, and CakePHP and the legacy code will use the same handle in a given request.
- And so on and so forth.
For instance:
$standard_globals = array(
'cakeDbh' => ConnectionManager::getDataSource('default')->connection,
'cakeSession' => $this->Session
Up until now, CakePHP's introduction into the mix hasn't added value. Having reached this point, however, you're ready to start taking advantage of CakePHP. From here, we refactored our special "legacy" action logic into a new "LegacyPage" component so any controller/action could use the mechanism. Then we were able to:
- Refactor legacy user authentication logic to use CakePHP's Auth core component
- Refactor various legacy pages to be fronted by CakePHP controller actions, moving the high-level flow control (input validation, user validation, and associated redirects) out of the legacy page and into the controller. This simplifies the legacy page (making it more strictly limited to presentation) and puts flow control where it belongs.
- For a new feature involving new data structures, developed a new CakePHP component to implement the business operations, new controllers/actions for aspects of the new functionality, and adjusted some legacy code to get data from the new component rather than original direct database calls or legacy class calls
So, what are the advantages of this approach, versus a slash-and-burn rewrite-it-all approach?
- We get to a point in which we're tangibly benefitting from CakePHP with minimal investment of time/money; contrast that with the potential expense of rewriting the entire application before the business sees any benefit
- While we proceeded in this work, the client was actively developing their legacy system; there was no need for a code freeze, and reconciling their changes with our work was fairly trivial; one git rebase took care of it (though I admittedly missed a couple things during the rebase, which we caught and fixed with some spot-checking).
- No repeating of oneself: by making the entire legacy application available within the context of the target framework, we don't need to spend cycles rewriting existing functionality; the do-it-from-scratch approach would, by contrast, require reimplementation of everything
- We can refactor the legacy code in a prioritized, iterative fashion: refactor the most important stuff first, and the less important stuff later.
- We can partially refactor specific pieces of legacy code, such as removing business/data logic from pages such that legacy pages become more like views in the MVC triad; we're not forced to redo an entire legacy subsystem to improve the code organization
- The legacy work that is solid and doesn't need much refactoring stays put, and is usable from the rest of the CakePHP application
We may well get to the point (in late 2010, perhaps) when all legacy code has been refactored into CakePHP's MVC architecture. Or perhaps not: the business has to balance competing priorities, and it may ultimately be that some aspects of the legacy code just don't get refactored because they aren't especially broken and the business need simply doesn't come up. That's part of the beauty here: we don't have to make that decision right now; we can let the real-world priorities make that decision for us over time.
It's easy to imagine an engineer finding this less attractive than a redo-it-in-my-favorite-framework-du-jour approach. It reeks of compromise. Yet, from a business standpoint the advantages are hard to dispute. From a technical standpoint, they're hard to dispute as well: faster, shorter cycles of development bring a higher likelihood of success, particularly for small teams (or lone individuals); the management of change is much simpler with iterative design; the iterative approach is arguably less prone to second-system effect than is a rewrite; etc.
This asks more of the engineer than does a ground-up rewrite in Framework X. So many modern frameworks positively shine with possibility; the engineer lusts for the opportunity to Do It Right, and falls prey to the fallacy that the framework will solve all their problems given that Done Right investment. But, whatever the features and community offerings may be, modern frameworks ultimately help us organize our code better; better organization of code is amongst the most obvious benefits one gets in moving into a modern framework.
The iterative approach gets us there with far less risk and, in many cases, far more naturally than does the rewrite-it-all approach, but it asks us to have the patience to move in small steps. It asks that we have the mental room and rigor to envision what the Done Right system might look like, as well as a long chain of interim steps taking us from here to there. But it delivers value much faster, at lower risk, at lower cost, and crucially, reduces redundant work and gives us the opportunity to change direction as we go. Consequently, for many -- even most -- business situations the iterative transformation is the system Done Right.

16-bit hybrid A/D modules address digital RF, imaging, ATE
Post a comment
Fremont, Calif.Slated primarily for designers of RF systems, fabless semiconductor supplier Optichron, Inc. is starting to sample low-distortion 100-Msample/s hybrid 16-bit A/D (analog-to-digital) converter modules. The company claims these hybrids can reduce non-linear distortion by more than 90% in pipelined data converters.
When they roll out in quantity later this year, they should be just the ticket for high-IF (intermediate frequency) radio strips, where they offer an enhanced ENOB (effective number of bits), bestowing higher data rates. These modules will also enhance your ability to include more channels in a system, and lower overall system cost.
In application, the 3.3-V CMOS-compatible multi-device modules require power-supply voltages of 5-V (for their analog circuit elements), 3.3-V (for digital and analog elements), and 1.8-V (for I/O).
On your board, one of these FR4-housed modules would occupy a compact 1.7 x 0.78-in. small-form-factor footprint. They use 130-pin BGA (ball-grid array) interconnects. That footprint is one-half the size of Optichron's previous modules. The modules include larger components such as input balun transformers.
Operationally, these modules can accept inputs from baseband to 250-MHz. Using Optichron's proprietary Turbolinear technology, the OM1600M-100 A/D modules exhibit SFDR (spurious-free dynamic range) specs of up to 95-dB. They also maintain a SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) of 78-dB.
In this set of example curves, the blue line represents corrected SFDR performance; the black line is uncorrected.
As such, they should fill the bill for circuits in multi-channel and multi-mode RF receivers, base stations, and SDRs (software-defined radios). Moreover, they should help designers of medical imaging equipment, industrial signal-processing, and even ATE (automatic test equipment).
Hard-Wired Linearization
Using a hard-wired so-called linearizer engine (a dedicated IC), coupled with the company's Turbolinear approach, both main module components are linearized (a Maxim Integrated Products MAX19588 A/D chip, and low-noise push-pull differential buffer amplifiers; the buffers provide gain and isolation, as well as source impedance matching). The company contends its approach provides an unparalleled improvement in SFDRup to 25-dB over conventional data converters.
Differential signals are also applied to the input of these A/Ds. Applying differential inputs provides common-mode rejection of stray signals such as LO (local oscillator) feed-through, as well as rejection of ground and power supply noise.
The differential inputs also help enhance AC performance at high sample rates, and enable a very high usable input bandwidth. That's important in under-sampling applications.
Lowering distortion can also boost a radio's IP3 (third-order intercept point) characteristics, and lower THD (total harmonic distortion). Significantly, the company's linearization process doesn't affect the Max19588's output signal-to-noise ratio.
Scalable And Adaptive
Turbolinear signal processing, Optichron's proprietary approach to correcting distortion in communications channels and mixed-signal environments, is also scalable, letting you enable or disable filter blocks to meet your design needs.
Turbolinear signal processing is also adaptive. It optimizes filter parameters to track changes in the properties of a transmission medium. The technology can be applied to all types of non-linear distortion (static, dynamic, continuous, discontinuous, distortion with memory effects) that degrade the performance of data conversion and communications architectures.
In use, the module supports sample rates that range from 60-Msamples/s to 100-Msamples/s. Input sensitivity is rated at -14-dBm. The module dissipates 3.125-W (at 100-Msample/s speeds).
Features include a single-ended 50-ohm analog input buffer, selectable 2s-complement or binary outputs, and an output clock for data output latching.
Price And Availability
Optichron says its OM1600M-100 is available now in sample quantities, and with evaluation boards. Production volume is expected by the third quarter. Pricing is about $80 per module at 10,000 unit quantities.
These modules are also available in different versions depending on the desired Nyquist zone of operation and desired sampling frequency. The device's linearizer is programmed to cancel non-linear distortion in the desired combination of Nyquist zone and sampling frequency.
When ordering, you specify the center frequency and bandwidth in which your input signal will fall in order to establish a desired sampling frequency.

It comes with installation guide, small lint free cloth, squeegee and the product itself. The clear shield comes in total of 7 pieces.
1. screen
2. main back cover (covers metal backing)
3. bottom back (back of the device below the metal backing)
3. bottom
4. top back
6. top 1(ear phone socket)
7. top 2
Hopefully this will give you the idea where each pieces go.
This is somewhat different with normal screen protectors we see and the installation procedure may feel radical.
Not like others, this requires water for the installation(soapy water to be accurate). With the water applied at the back of the shield, you can quite easily move it around into correct position and it starts to adhere to the device as it dries.
The fitting was quite good and I was very satisfied with all the cut outs for speakers, camera, SD card slot and ear phone jack.
I had no problem with installation at the back (2~7), but I had some imperfection at the screen, but the installation guide says some imperfection will be clear within 1~3 days so I'll wait and see.
If there is anyone looking for a protection that does not add any weight and size, I think this is pretty good choice.
I also ordered a case from ebay and see the device fits with the clear shield.
