halloween decoration EAT DRINK & be SCARY painted banner sign garland
Product Info
Pumpkin bread drizzled with cream cheese frosting, root beer bubbling in a smoky cauldron and bright eyes peeking out from a superhero mask- these are my favorite ways to EAT DRINK & be SCARY on Halloween. This banner would be delightful addition to your celebrations this fall.
Each paperboard card is cut with my die press, stamped with acrylic paint and then distressed with black ink. When hung as shown the banner stretches approximately 31 inches. The cards are each 4.25 inches wide and 3.25 inches tall. They are made of a paperboard much thicker than cardstock. This banner is light enough to be hung with tape yet durable enough to be used for many years.
The letters are individually hand-stamped with pumpkin orange acrylic paint. Stamping with paint gives the letters a worn, vintage look. Your banner may be slightly different from the banner shown. It's the imperfections that make your banner perfect :)
After I distress the edges of the cards, they are strung on a black satin ribbon. There is plenty of ribbon on each end to hang the banner. The length of the banner can be adjusted depending on how straight or "droopy" you hang the banner . There is also enough ribbon to space the cards a little further apart if you prefer.
This banner is usually ready to be shipped within 3 days of when we receive your payment. Please see our shop banner for current shipping speeds.

The Child of Lov's Album Is Ready
And here's a suitably epic trailer to get you in the mood featuring a snippet from the next single Fly.
The Child of Lov is heading back to the future as both modern soul man and funk revivalist on his self- titled debut album to be released by Double Six on Monday the 6th of May 2013. It possesses a nostalgic reverence for early trailblazers like Little Richard, Otis Redding and James Brown as well as a penchant for the later neo soul of Dilla and D'Angelo. The Child of Lov certifies his scholarly underpinnings with a consummate cool that makes him feel like the rightful successor in the long line of musical heavyweights.
The album was recorded at Damon Albarn's studio 13 in London and features contributions from Albarn and DOOM and features artwork designed by The Child of Lov himself.
The Child Of Lov will be available on CD (DS057CD), LP (DS057LP) and Digital (DS057D). Pre-order the album HERE. The tracklisting is as follows:
1 – Call Me Up
2 – Heal
3 – One Day (feat. Damon Albarn)
4 – Living The Circle
5 – Give Me
6 – Go With The Wind
7 – Owl (feat. DOOM)

The devil is in the details.
Maybe I'd better explain.
As it goes, the hit History Channel show, "The Bible," was recently called out because the actor playing the part of Satan, Moroccan-born Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni, looks eerily similar to President Obama.
I don't think Obama is the devil, but he surely has one characteristic that old Beelzebub is known for: a silver tongue.
See, many people think that if they met the devil in person, he'd be a foul-smelling, abrupt and frightening creature. The fact is, he'd appear to be the exact opposite.
He'd ...

Researchers are constantly adding to the list of superfoods. These are foods that have a large number of powerful antioxidants and an array of essential nutrients. Everyone is aware that dark chocolate makes the list with its high amount of heart-healthy antioxidants, low glycemic index and essential minerals. Dark chocolate covered goji berries bring the taste and benefits of chocolate together with the goji berry a superfood that packs a powerful punch! Is Goji a Super-food?
Goji is an orange-red berry grown in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains. Also known as wolfberry, traditional Chinese Medicine has long prescribed goji berries for vision problems related to age. It is believed to support liver function and is used in many traditional formulas. Modern science has discovered that goji berries are among the richest sources of vitamin A, which is important for eyesight and is also a powerful antioxidant. Many other antioxidants have also been found in these berries that are currently being studied for their potential in fighting diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancer.
Recipes that bring together superfoods are especially important because they fill in nutritional gaps that pop up in most of our diets (c'mon, not everyone eats perfectly!). Dark chocolate covered goji berries offer all the benefits of both foods in a perfect blend that's great for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Why Are Antioxidants Important?
The everyday function of the body is referred to as the metabolism. Basic metabolic processes involve the conversion of food to energy, the use of this energy and the elimination of associated waste products. Whether it's eating, breathing or walking through the store, the body is constantly creating toxins that must be eliminated. The antioxidants in dark chocolate covered goji berries help the body eliminate waste more efficiently.
More Benefits
Both dark chocolate and goji berries go further than helping cell metabolism. Research shows they balance brain chemistry for mood stability and quality sleep. Not to mention they taste incredible! Rich dark chocolate has a special smoothness and goji adds that little extra umph to your average chocolate covered berry. Yum!
Enjoy the taste and benefits of chocolate covered goji berries with our selection at SuperiorNutStore.com.

Iowa's Stanzi Shines Bright in the Shadows of Hawkeye LegendsOctober 27, 2009
Iowa's euphoric, history-making season continues to mystify college football fans around the country. Every day the magic gets harder and harder for people to deny.
To add to the supernatural story taking place in Iowa City, quarterback Ricky Stanzi has been recognized as one of 15 semifinalists for this year's Davey O'Brien Award.
The Davey O'Brien Award is the oldest and most prestigious quarterback award in the country, and it's handed out every year to the nation's best college quarterback both on and off the field.
Some might look at Stanzi's statistics on the year and wonder about his selection. His 1,715 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions on the year are far from the best on the list.
The O'Brien selection committee actually analyzes several factors when narrowing down their list, focusing on a quarterback's skills, athletic ability, academics, reputation as a team player, leadership, sportsmanship and character when determining the semifinalists.
"The commitment, sportsmanship and leadership qualities exemplified by these quarterbacks truly embody the spirit of The O'Brien," according to their website.
Looking over Iowa's resilient performance on the season, and looking closely at Stanzi's behavior both on and off the field, it is clear he belongs on this list.
And his teammates agree.
"Everybody has been scrutinizing Rick and all that bullcrap. He stepped up and he led this team," the Daily Iowan quoted linebacker Pat Angerer as saying. "He's unbelievable. He's a great leader and great person."
Stanzi has amassed a 16-3 record as a starter at Iowa, and has steered the Hawkeyes into the record books for their first 8-0 start in school history.
He might not have a Heisman Trophy like Florida's Tim Tebow. He might not put up the numbers like Texas' Colt McCoy. And he might not have the athletic ability of Miami's Jacory Harris. But his leadership in the face of adversity and his reputation as a team player make him a great fit for the O'Brien award.
The unfortunate burden for Stanzi is not that Hawkeye fans judge him based on the Tebows or the McCoys of the world.
Rather, fans look at former Iowa quarterback legends like Chuck Long, Chuck Hartlieb and Brad Banks for their comparisons, something even the Tebows of the world fall short of.
Ask any Hawkeye fan in Iowa who the greatest college quarterback of all time is, and the name Chuck Long will be shouted from every window and doorway within earshot of the question.
Long was quarterback at Iowa from 1981 to 1985. He graduated with one of the greatest careers ever compiled by a college quarterback.
Long's 10,461 career passing yards, 74 career touchdowns and 782 career completions are still firsts in Iowa history. He was also the first Big Ten player and just the second player in college football history to throw for more than 10,000 yards in a career.
His single-season total of 27 touchdowns in 1985 stills looms over the record books.
Long finished second to Bo Jackson for the 1985 Heisman Trophy, the closest Heisman race in college football history. He was also the 1985 Davey O'Brien Award recipient and led the Hawkeyes to the Rose Bowl.
The shadow Long casts over quarterbacks at Iowa is hard to escape, and Hawkeye fans continue to compare every prospect that steps foot on the field at Kinnick Stadium to him.
Stanzi currently sits at No. 8 on Iowa's career passing list with almost 3700 passing yards. While he likely has more than a year left as starting quarterback, it seems clear he will fall short of Long's career mark.
He has also yet to reach the total number of touchdowns in his career that Long had in the 1985 season alone.
For that, he is penalized in the minds of some Hawkeye fans. And it isn't fair to Stanzi.
After the Long era at Iowa came the Hartlieb era.
Chuck Hartlieb sits third all time in career passing with 6,934 yards. Like Long, he holds a number of seemingly impossible to achieve Iowa football records.
Hartlieb holds the records for most passing attempts in a season (460), most passing completions in a season (288), most yards gained in a season (3,738) and most touchdowns in a game (7).
He was the first Hawkeye to throw for 3,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, and has the best single game record of 558 yards.
Stanzi has yet to complete as many passes in his nineteen game career as Hartlieb completed in 1988 alone. His best single game passing total is 296 yards.
For that, he is penalized in the minds of some Hawkeye fans. And again, it isn't fair.
Like most quarterbacks, Stanzi has his own style. And that style wins football games.
"He wins games and everyone seems to overlook that now a days. You play to WIN and it doesn't matter how that's accomplished," reminds former Iowa quarterback Drew Tate.
Tate is right. Stanzi is currently on pace to have a better winning percentage than both Long and Hartlieb.
Long compiled a winning percentage of .724 in his illustrious four-year career; Hartlieb had a winning percentage of .673 in his career.
Stanzi? He is on pace for a career .833 winning percentage.
The fact is, Stanzi wins games.
The fact is, he is riding a 12 game winning streak, the longest winning streak at Iowa since the 1920's.
The fact is, no other quarterback in the history of Iowa football has led the Hawkeyes to an 8-0 start.
Stanzi's shadow might very well be impossible for future generations to eclipse in its own right.
The winner of this year's Davey O'Brien Award will be announced on December 10.
Even if Stanzi doesn't win, he is already apart of something very magical happening in Iowa City this season, and that's something that no award can provide.
Stanzi will always hold a special place in the hearts and minds of Hawkeye fans around the world, even if they don't know it yet.
He isn't Drew Tate, or Chuck Long, or Brad Banks. He is Ricky Stanzi, and the man knows how to win football games.

Jose Mourinho believes summer signings Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa could form the core of Chelsea's team for the next seven years.
The pair have hit the ground running since arriving at Stamford Bridge over the summer - and Mourinho believes the pair could help usher in a new era of success for the rest of the decade.

- Chelsea scouts watch £25 million French youngster again
Costa has nine goals in seven Premier League games already - although he is now out of action through injury - while Fabregas has seven assists to his name. They have combined to help Chelsea remain unbeaten at the top of the table with eight games gone, and they take on Manchester United next.
Mourinho says the pair are crucial to his long-term plans, and that he had to bide his time to land them. He told ITV: "We think Diego and Fabregas are players for the next five, six, seven years at the club because they are so good and adapted to what we need."
He added: "It is good to wait for the right player instead of doing it [buying] if you are not happy, even if you do it [continue] without the right player. So wait until you can get the right one and if you can't do it in that moment, wait.
"So we wait for a striker, we wait for a midfield player, and we got Diego and we got Cesc. And I learned don't be in a hurry and wait for the right ones."
The Blues resume their Champions League campaign this outfit against Maribor, where they will be without Costa.
The striker missed Chelsea's weekend win over Crystal Palace and is now struggling to make the showdown with Manchester United on Sunday. Logic Remy or Didier Drogba will deputise in his place.
What's the Mata?
And finally former Chelsea ace Juan Mata has hit out at Jose Mourinho. The Manchester United playmaker, who was sold last year, says he had no relationship with the Special One - but was full of praise for Louis van Gaal.

Back when I first started out my business I spent a lot of time updating my contracts, writing questionnaire sheets for clients and keeping them updated. I used to print them out in bulk so I'd always have one ready to go when needed. Then there was a whole hassle of meeting with a client, giving them the contract and waiting for it to be mailed back to me via the US Postal Service (i.e. we can call this a slow boat to China). Eventually I purchased an app for my iPad when the first generation came out and could have clients sign a contract in person and it would email both of us a copy. This was great, but in order to update contracts I'd have to take an hour or so and sit down with the ipad app and load up a new contract. Not to mention this required always bringing my ipad with me, always having battery power, and always having wifi or data service.
As business grew and I started looking for better ways to save myself time (money), I started looking for some type of studio management software. There weren't a whole lot of options. There were some options that were very pricey and seeing as I'm not very good at the whole using the internet software for organizing thing I just didn't want to pay a lot for something I wouldn't use. After much thought and googling I chose Pixifi and signed up for their free 60 Day trial.
I think services like Pixifi are sometimes overlooked for photographers and ever since I've been paying my monthly fee to them I can honestly say it's been worth every penny and then some. Pixifi is a whole lot of software and I've still only barely dived into all it's able to do. You can run photography workshops out of it, send clients online contracts, send clients questionnaires, invoice clients online so they can pay you with a credit card…
There's a built in calendar system that you can link to your google calendar and have all of your photography events easily available to you by phone. This calendar can also be shown to potential clients so they can see when and if you are booked. You can keep track of your accounting and print out year-end totals. You can use Pixifi as an entire client communication system and run all of your emails and inquires through the program.
You can also create an entire storefront with your pricing, packages and information that clients can easily click, add to their cart, and order.
For those of you who do a lot of weddings and meet a lot of other vendors like wedding planners, venues, DJs, you can keep all of their contact information in Pixifi and associate them with your clients and leads.
Finally, you can also keep a task list in there instead of using tons of sticky notes.
>Try Pixifi for free< ….yes, there's a 60 Day free trial. SIXTY DAYS.
I still feel as though I've only touched on the features. Being able to use it as a client database, invoicing, contracts, and questionnaires system has been my primary use and it's been worth the $24.99 per month. Now I can meet with clients and when they decide they are ready to book I just email them a contract and invoice and voila I'm done.
I think it's really important to keep things in your workflow as a business owner very simple. The more simple something is the more time it saves. Yes, it does have a fee associated with it, but the ease of use and time it saves me is worth it. On the other side of that I think things should be really easy for your clients to use. The easier it is for clients to book and pay you the more they will refer and recommend you for your great customer service. Ever since switching to this method clients have praised how easy it is to pay, book, and sign their contracts.
I highly recommend everyone at least try out Pixifi's 60 Day Trial. I've had such a great experience with them and it's definitely improved my business. On top of that if you struggle figuring out the Pixifi software there's a Facebook group where the head honcho, Tim Hussey, and his sidekick, Lisa Otto, are quick to help you out and answer all your questions. Their customer service is top notch. If you sign up for Pixifi, I'd love it if you used my referral link so they know I sent you their direction!
2015 Edit: While this blog post is old, the information is still the same and Pixifi is still my favorite studio management software. In fact, the price is even the same!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Swiss government has not waded into the U.S. government's tax evasion cases against Credit Suisse bankers and clients, Switzerland's ambassador to the United States told Reuters on Friday.
Swiss bankers, identified by sources familiar with the cases as working for Credit Suisse, were charged in February with aiding Americans in dodging taxes, among the signs the government is expanding its probe into institutions that smooth the way for offshore tax evasion by the wealthy.
"There are discussions going on a broader level to find solutions to common issues, not on individual cases," said Manuel Sager, the Swiss ambassador to the United States. "We're not discussing individual cases at any level."
Credit Suisse has maintained that it obeys all tax laws and that it is not the target of any probe.
Rival UBS AG paid $780 million in 2009 and consented last year to hand over information about nearly 5,000 U.S. accounts to settle government cases against the Swiss bank, which admitted it lured Americans with the promise of tax secrecy.
After the United States closed its long-running case against UBS, eyes turned to other targets of U.S. tax prosecutors.
Many believe the targeting of Credit Suisse clients and bankers by U.S. prosecutors signals they are looking at that bank as well.
The Swiss government was heavily involved in negotiations that led to an ultimate settlement with UBS. A deal to transfer client names ultimately had to be approved by the Swiss Parliament due to privacy laws in the Alpine nation.
"Any new agreement (with another bank) would require parliamentary approval," Sager said.
In an indictment filed in February four current and former Credit Suisse bankers were charged with encouraging Americans to use offshore credit cards and to move money to other banks from Israel to Hong Kong.
A separate Credit Suisse banker, identified as Christos Bagios, was released on bond last month, charged with conspiracy and fraud in connection with the bank's offshore accounts.
Also last month, a Credit Suisse client pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to evading taxes.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice said that UK bank HSBC in India helped potentially thousands of Americans dodge taxes, another sign of the government's probe.

Warnings have been posted at several Central California beaches after three sharks were spotted over the past few days.
Pismo Beach fire spokeswoman Jane Schmitz says beaches will remain open but residents should use caution and be aware during ocean activities. Warnings will be posted for five days between State Parks, Shell Beach, Pismo Beach and Cayucos.
A shark was spotted about 100 yards off the coast north of Pismo Beach at about 9:15 a.m. Saturday. The dark grey shark appeared to be about 12 feet long.
Another shark with a two and a half foot fin was spotted in the same vicinity, about 100 yards off the coast on Saturday.
On Monday, a grey shark over 10 feet long was spotted eating a seal near Cayucos.

Thursday, March 26, 2009 | midnight
Fifteen years ago, Henderson Councilman Jack Clark had an epiphany.
"I knew some people whose children had visited a science museum and had gotten very interested in science," said Clark, who has served on the council for 16 years. "But Southern Nevada was probably one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country that did not have a science center. We can't diversify the economy, unless we diversify education, and we have taken great steps in Henderson to do that."
What better way, he figured, to further that goal than to build a science center — with an educational focus — in the heart of Henderson?
A dozen years later, after a number of false starts, Clark's vision is coming to fruition.
Plans are well under way for the Henderson Space & Science Center, which will be the centerpiece of a proposed museum and cultural district on a 160-acre site on Galleria Drive near U.S. 95.
"We've got the right combination of people on the city council, and Mayor Gibson has also been a driving force behind the project, which we have been working on for two-and-a-half or three years," Clark said, adding that this included shopping for the site, mapping out the property and hiring consultants to evaluate the feasibility of the museum component.
The result of their research?
There was a real need in Southern Nevada for a science and technology center that also will serve to connect Southern Nevadans with their state's singular history.
The Henderson city council clearly agreed, recently having voted unanimously to adopt a preliminary framework for the museum and the surrounding land, which is located in a Henderson redevelopment area. The city of Henderson, which owns the land, intends to develop the acreage into a civic hub that will also include retail, residential, office, entertainment, cultural and public uses, according to Eddie Dichter, Henderson's principal planner. Dichter said that land use and zoning approval on the museum site is expected within the next three to five months. Design and landscaping guidelines are also in the works.
The focal point of Henderson's proposed civic and cultural district, the Henderson Space & Science Center will include some 72,000 square feet of interior museum space, as well as an additional 40,000 square feet of programmable exterior space. The $61 million museum project, funded in great part by private-sector partnerships and other sponsorships, is expected to draw some 260,000 visitors per year, according to Andrea Primo, director of the city's Cultural Arts & Tourism department.
"This would be a signature cultural institution," Primo said. "The city council is very supportive of the arts in general, and there has been community and local industry support as well. The Henderson Space & Science Center will also strengthen the educational background of our local students, because the programs would be integrated and curriculum-based, meaning partnerships with the school district and higher education."
Primo said a nonprofit entity is being established with a board of directors, and, once in place, time lines for construction of the museum will be nailed down. But Clark optimistically anticipates a five-year schedule for completion of the center, with additional build-out of the surrounding area following within three to five years.
In initially determining the focus of the museum, Clark said the city council considered several other areas of interest before settling on space and science.
"We looked at a natural history museum, a Nevada history museum and a children's museum, but we always came back to where we started, with science and technology," he said, adding that national research supported the decision. "Look at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum: They have (millions of) visitors per year. Not that we expect to compete with them, but I think people will be (pleasantly) surprised with us."
Although Clark predicted the museum will attract visitors to the valley, Southern Nevada residents, particularly children, are the primary target demographic for the Henderson Space & Science Center.
"I think Henderson has always focused our efforts on family activities that don't cost a fortune and also on those that (promote) new educational opportunities, and this does both," he said. "The center will provide something for the first-grader and something for the college kid."
The Henderson Space & Science Center, which is expected to create approximately 60 new jobs, will be an invaluable resource for teachers and professors throughout the valley and state. In addition, researchers and scientists will be able to showcase their work and research there.
With its educational emphasis on education and a kid-friendly, interactive atmosphere, Clark said the Henderson Space & Science Center will appeal to students — and adults — of all ages.
"It won't be just a museum where you go in and walk around and look at stuff," Clark said. "We want classroom settings and interactive exhibits. We researched tons of museums and found that the ones that are the most successful and have the most visitors are the ones that have the most hands-on activities, and they can't be purely designed by adults. We will need a lot of input as we go forward, because the more excited the kids are, the more successful the center will be."

[1]In case in anyone was thinking that this week's cringe-inducing anti-gay press conference [2]was just an undisciplined slip-up by the the House and Senate GOP, think again. As this story in the Gaston Gazette [3] makes clear, the muzzles are off for good.
The following passages from the story refer to anti-gay marriage amendment sponsor, Senator James Forrester:
"Forrester, a physician, said the lifespan of homosexuals is decreased by at least 20 years due to the increased risk of developing AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases.
'We need to reach out to them and get them to change their lifestyle back to the one we accept,' he said.
"'He then called the city of Asheville 'a cesspool of sin' and said if he was a homosexual, he'd 'target' North Carolina to practice homosexual 'mischief' because there is no constitutional law prohibiting it."
Forrester was joined at the event by Sen. Kathy Harrington [4], Rep. Kelly Hastings [5], Rep. John Torbett [6]and Rep. Bill Current [7]. It looks like next week should be a very scary and embarrassing week for North Carolina.
BTW, the Gazette story features two minutes of video – if anyone else has video of the event, let us know.

Croci names Islip Town appointments
The incoming Islip Town administration announced more key appointments Wednesday -- and said top managers who remain after Jan. 1 face pay cuts.
Supervisor-elect Tom Croci named Councilwoman Trish Bergin Weichbrodt acting deputy supervisor, saying while it makes "good government sense" to have a nonelected official in the job, the outgoing administration cut the role from the budget.
Bergin will do the job -- at no extra pay -- "until . . . we can find the money," Croci said.
Croci is expected to take his official oath of office at Town Hall on Thursday before Monday's ceremonial inauguration at Connetquot High School in Bohemia.
Rob Cicale, who served as town attorney for several months in 2006, is slated to start Friday as deputy town attorney, after Croci's team asked incumbent Alicia O'Connor to resign. Cicale will be acting town attorney until March, when GOP activist John Schettino, a town planning board member, is expected to be appointed. O'Connor, who declined to comment, has been asked to serve as an assistant town attorney, which would require a substantial pay cut.
"We have a new team coming in, and we're looking for a fresh perspective," Croci said.
In his administration's first austerity move, Croci has ordered pay cuts of a minimum of 2 percent among top management -- including incumbent commissioners and deputies.
He will become the top-paid town employee, a move in line with the approach taken by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and what occurs federally, he said. Outgoing Supervisor Phil Nolan makes $103,500, but the two highest-paid employees -- O'Connor and Long Island MacArthur Airport Commissioner Teresa Rizzuto -- are both paid $115,000. Nolan said he considered that necessary "to attract top, specialized talent."
Croci said the supervisor's salary would trim "one or two thousand," adding, "I could hardly ask my commissioners to take a pay cut and not do so myself."
For Rizzuto, whom Croci criticized during the campaign, the move translates to a loss of about $14,000. She had earned about $150,000 a year as a manager for United Airlines before returning to Long Island to be close to elderly parents in 2007.
Wednesday, Croci said, Rizzuto would remain on "at this point" and noted all commissioners would be "judged on their performance." The new board is expected to confirm the appointments at its first meeting next Thursday.
Also Wednesday:
Croci said Rizzuto's deputy, former Islip Supervisor Eric Hoffmeister, will be appointed head of the department of environmental control.
Planning Commissioner Dave Genaway and Bill Mannix, economic development director and head of Islip's Industrial Development Agency, will remain in their jobs.

Archbishop of Baltimore Edwin O'Brien on Wednesday reiterated the Catholic Church's condemnation of "total war" and called for courage in efforts towards a future "free of the nuclear threat" at a summit aimed at the elimination of nuclear weapons.
His remarks came at the Global Zero Summit in Paris, which met from February 2-4, a press release from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) says. The attendees, who were political, military, business and religious leaders, numbered 200.
The archbishop cited the Second Vatican Council's condemnation of total war in its Pastoral Constitution "Gaudium et Spes":
"Any act of war aimed indiscriminately at the destruction of entire cities of extensive areas along with their population is a crime against God and man himself. It merits unequivocal and unhesitating condemnation."
Archbishop O'Brien, who previously served as the Archbishop for the Military Services, also noted the Council Fathers were skeptical of arguments that nuclear weapons were necessary for "deterrence."
He then quoted Pope Benedict XVI's 2006 World Day of Peace message, in which the pontiff said that in a nuclear war "there would be no victors, only victims."
A nuclear weapons-free world will not be easy to attain, the archbishop said.
"A world with zero nuclear weapons will need robust measures to monitor, enforce and verify compliance. The path to zero will be long and treacherous. But humanity must walk this path with both care and courage in order to build a future free of the nuclear threat."
Other speakers at the summit included former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and Queen Noor of Jordan. The summit was timed to lead up to the Global Nuclear Security Summit in April, convened after calls from President Obama and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.

The area that I most want to tone (and, well, lift) is my butt, along with my hips and thighs. The trouble is that I have a bad knee and can not do much high impact exercise. I also struggle with squats and lunges, although I am trying my best to work up to doing more. I hope that gradually strengthening my leg muscles will help alleviate some of the stress on my knee.
Are there any other types of exercise that I can do to tone these areas? Will the elliptical help? I mostly feel it in my quads.
I'd also love recommendations for exercise videos that might work for me.
I'd try Pilates.
I second the Pilates recommendation
Married 10/16/04
"If our thoughts are worth a penny, what are our dreams worth?"
Third the pilates. It' an excellent workout. Yoga will help as well with lengthing the muscles and making them leaner.
Try water aerobics.
You also may want to play with the crossramp/resistence of the elliptical to see if you can feel it more in your hamstrings, if you happen to change the settings.
Finally, when you do get up to trying lunges or squats again, make sure they are modified. Your knee should never bend more than 135 degrees-ish -- most of the time trainers/instructions tell you to be 90 degrees at the knee and that's bad advice for someone with knee problems.
Fuzzy's LJ * DRIVE FOR LIFE -- One by One Until There Are None.
If you're interested in a workout video, I'd suggest Jillian Mchael's "No More Trouble Zones". Some of the circuits may not work for you- since she does incorproate a lot of squats and lunges. BUT, there are 4 circuits towards the end where she does what she calls "old school mat work" for the abs and lower body. A lot of legs lifts, donkey kicks, butt lifts. Plus a lot of abs work out that you can do too to get themost of out of the video. And you can choose which circuits to do, so you can go right to the work outs you want.
And even the squats and lounges may not be killer to you because they are only done with 3lb weights.
Thanks! I signed up for Netflix so I can try out a bunch of different videos, and think I will check out the pilates class at our gym this week.

The development came as the police defended their decision to let the Pakistan team fly home, via London.
Officers have begun to examine the CCTV footage, which has been digitalised. Mr Shields said he was optimistic that the quality of the pictures would be good enough to help determine who was present on the 12th floor of the Pegasus hotel in Kingston between 8.30pm on Saturday, March 17, when Woolmer was last seen, and 10.45am on the Sunday, when a chambermaid found him lying lifeless in the bathroom. The film could also help to determine a precise time of death.
The CCTV cameras would have filmed anyone leaving or entering the lifts on Woolmer's floor of the 17-storey hotel, as well as anyone using the back service entry. However, there are no cameras along the corridor, which means that movement between rooms on the floor would be undetected.
As the Pakistan team left, having been knocked out of the World Cup, Mr Shields said he was powerless to keep the team in Jamaica. To do so "would have been to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. It would probably have caused a significant diplomatic incident and had an extremely adverse effect on the World Cup". There was insufficient evidence to hold anyone as a suspect at this time.
With speculation continuing to swirl around the relationship between Woolmer and players in the team, the squad began a two-day stopover in London before their return to Islamabad. At the Holiday Inn near Heathrow airport, the team's media manager, Pervez Jamil Mir, complained that the team was being kept in the dark on the police inquiry, but said he expected to be able to make a statement today. He said: "We still haven't been told officially in writing by the police how Mr Woolmer was murdered. We want the police to tell us what is going on."
He said he had not been asked by the police to make any arrangements should the players be recalled to Jamaica. He added: "If the police want players for any further questioning, they are here to answer them."
The murder hunt will now spread its net to other squads whose members were at the Pegasus hotel on the Sunday morning that Woolmer was found strangled in room 374. Brian Lara, the West Indies captain, has been questioned and all members of the West Indies and Ireland teams will be asked to volunteer a statement, fingerprints and a DNA swab.
Several top managers and players from the Pakistan, West Indies and Ireland teams were staying on the 12th floor, including Mr Lara, the Ireland captain Trent Johnson, Murray Stevenson, the Pakistan fitness trainer, Darren Lifson, another team manager, and the Pakistan player Danish Kaneria.
Inzamam-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, was also on the 12th floor until shortly before Woolmer's murder, when he moved to the 5th floor. He was questioned by police on Saturday about why he had changed rooms and told them he had wanted to be closer to the other players.
Talat Ali, the team manager, and Mushtaq Ahmed, its bowling coach, were also questioned to fill in holes in their earlier statements, police said.
Pakistan has asked to send a detective to Jamaica to investigate what it claims were links between an Indian bookmaker and the murder. A senior government official told the Guardian that two Pakistan players told Jamaican police that Woolmer had a blazing argument with a bookmaker based in Mumbai on Saturday night. "Bob Woolmer said he had just thrown a bookie out of his room. He didn't give any reasons," the official said.
Mr Shields said he was unaware of any bookmakers having stayed at the Pegasus, or any suggestions of Indian involvement. Indian cricket officials also dismissed the allegations as "speculation and stories".
Two Pakistani diplomats from Washington are now based in Kingston to act as liaison between the government and the police, and were yesterday given a tour of the crime scene.
The widening of the investigation means it could now enter a prolonged phase with no obvious signs of a breakthrough. Mr Shields warned against easy fixes: "There is always a tendency to think a murder investigation can be solved in 45 minutes, as it is on TV. It isn't like that."
Though he stressed that no member of the Pakistan team was under suspicion, he said he was in discussion with the diplomats about what would happen were he to want any individuals to return to Jamaica. He added that he would "cross that bridge when we come to it". There is no extradition treaty between the two countries.
In 1996 Pakistan returned a youth cricketer, Zeeshan Pervez, to Jamaica to face charges that he had raped a woman in a Kingston hotel. He was acquitted.
The rumour mill: who killed the coach?
A row within the Pakistan team
There has been speculation for several days about a row between Woolmer and one or more of his players on the team coach on the way back from last Saturday's defeat by Ireland. Mark Shields, leading the investigation, said yesterday that he had questioned security officers on the bus and that while the mood had been "sombre" there was no evidence of any argument.
Two Jamaican detectives have been assigned to work with the anti-corruption unit of the International Cricket Council. Experts in gambling fraud say it is unlikely a whole match would have been thrown, though the defeat to Ireland raised that suspicion. The spokesman for the Pakistan team, Pervez Mir, has said Woolmer was upset before the tour because he thought he had lost the manuscript of a book he was writing - a detail that prompted speculation that he was poised to blow the lid on match-fixing. Mr Shields dismissed the theory, saying the manuscript focused solely on fitness in the sport.
Plot by Indian bookmakers
The Pakistan government yesterday floated to the Guardian the idea that Indian betting syndicates were involved in the murder, citing what two Pakistan players told Jamaican police when questioned on Thursday. A senior official said three bookies had checked into the Pegasus hotel before the start of the World Cup. The Pakistan players told police that Woolmer had thrown one of the bookies out of his room shortly before his murder, the official said. But this theory was denied by Indian cricket officials, and treated sceptically by senior Jamaican detectives.
Expert assassination
The absence of any signs of a struggle between Woolmer and his attacker has prompted the theory that this was a professional job. However, Mr Shields has said the idea of a paid assassin is not being pursued, and that it is much more likely that Woolmer knew his attacker.
Drugging or poisoning
Detectives are waiting for the results of toxicology and histology tests on samples from Woolmer's body which would show whether he had been drugged or poisoned before being strangled. It is known that the coach ordered room service on Saturday night.
Disgruntled fan
Those familiar with international cricket say it is not uncommon for the doors of managers to be left open as players come in after a game to talk through the events of the day. Woolmer is known to have kept himself very accessible to his team. It is possible to go up in the lift with other hotel guests, and there is a stairwell at the back of the hotel which gives access to all floors. Emotions among Pakistan fans ran high after the humiliating defeat by Ireland, with extraordinary scenes witnessed in Pakistan.

NCBA Officers to be in Oklahoma, Alabama
DENVER - Guymon, Okla., cattle feeder Paul Hitch, vice president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, will address his fellow Oklahoma cattle producers Friday, July 28, at the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association (OCA) Annual Convention in Oklahoma City.
The focus of Hitch's presentation will be the recently-adopted Beef Industry Long Range Plan. The plan was assembled in a collaborative effort by all sectors of the beef industry, under the direction of a 14-member working group. The plan's stated vision is to build a beef industry that is profitable, growing and sustainable for future generations, and to do so by solidifying U.S. beef's position as the world's most preferred protein.
The Long Range Plan establishes some very aggressive objectives over the five-year period of 2005-2010. These include both a 10 percent increase in domestic beef demand and a tripling of U.S beef exports from 2005 levels.
"Last year, the beef industry began the frustrating process of rebuilding the export markets lost due to BSE," Hitch says. "We need an aggressive plan to recapture global market share, but we also haven't lost sight of the fact that our most critical market is right here at home."
The Long Range Plan outlines several challenges confronting the cattle industry, including growing competition from other proteins, environmental regulations, unfair trade barriers, and pressure from anti-meat and anti-livestock activists. But by delivering products that meet consumers' needs in terms of flavor, safety, nutrition and value, cattle producers can grow U.S. demand for beef while also capitalizing on growing economies and income levels overseas.
"Growth is the only way that we expand opportunities for future generations," Hitch said. "There are no short-cuts or quick-fixes, but this industry can achieve great things when it sets solid, unified goals."
Hitch notes that a previous five-year plan established by the beef industry aimed for 6 percent growth in beef demand – a target thought at the time to be extremely aggressive. But not only was a long decline in beef demand reversed, demand growth of more than 20 percent was achieved between 1998 and 2005.
Citing recent volatility in the cattle and beef markets, Hitch emphasizes that one of the bedrock objectives of the Long Range Plan is profitability throughout all sectors of the beef industry.
"When all sectors have a healthy bottom line, that's when profits are sustainable and reliable," Hitch said. "That's the kind of environment we all need to be working toward."
The OCA Annual Convention - "Policy…Production…& Profitability" - runs July 27-29 at the Oklahoma City Marriott. The meeting with also feature OCA's annual trade show, as well as a Cattlemen's College production workshop, cattle market outlook session, and a keynote address by William Perry Pendley of the Mountain States Legal Foundation.
NCBA President-elect to Tour Alabama, Aug. 7 - 11
DENVER - National Cattlemen's Beef Association President-elect John Queen of Waynesville, N.C., has scheduled a series of meetings across the state of Alabama to discuss current issues and gather input from Alabama cattle producers. Queen is president and owner of John Queen Farms, a third-generation cattle farm founded in 1917 and located in the western mountain region of North Carolina. His background in the beef industry includes cow/calf producer, stocker/backgrounder, feeder and grazer. He order buys, has been an auction barn owner and operator, and currently is owner of Southeast Livestock Exchange, a video-telemarketing company working in the Southeast.
"Alabama has a strong cattle industry and has long been a leader in shaping national industry policies. I'm anxious to meet with producers there to find out more about the issues of concern to them," says Queen.
Queen will begin the Alabama meetings with a visit to Northwest Alabama Livestock Auction in Russellville on Monday, August 7, at 11:00 a.m. On Tuesday, August 8, at 11:00 a.m., Queen will visit Alabama Livestock Auction in Uniontown. The next day, Queen will travel to North Alabama to meet with producers before sale time at Sand Mountain Stockyard, and then visit the Fort Payne Stockyards in the afternoon. Thursday, August 10, Queen will be at the Cullman Stockyard before sale time and then will travel to the Arab Stockyard. Queen's final day in Alabama will be capped off by a producer meeting and lunch at the Moulton Stockyard at 11:30 a.m., prior to sale time.
"This is a great opportunity for me to learn how NCBA can do a better job of working for producers in this state. I want them to understand that NCBA focuses on the issues brought forth from the country by cattle producers," Queen said. "I look forward to a lot of interaction and plan to ask everyone to get engaged in our efforts at NCBA. I'm looking forward to us having a great tour in Alabama."
Queen added that this is also an opportunity to invite cattlemen to participate in the Cattle Industry Annual Convention and Trade Show in Nashville, February 1-4, 2007.
He noted that NCBA membership has been gaining strength in Alabama and throughout the Southeast. NCBA membership has grown over 60 percent in Alabama in the past year, and has more than doubled in the eight Southeastern states that comprise NCBA Region II. Queen will be the first cattle producer from the Southeast to serve as president of the national cattlemen's organization since Joanne Smith of Florida in 1983.
Cattlemen interested in meeting Queen or attending any of the scheduled functions should call the Alabama Cattlemen's Association at (334) 265-1867 for more information.

The newspaper "El Dia" of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in Canarian Islands revealed this Thursday that Socialists there, led by Florentino Guzman Plascencia, want funds set aside for the Church's social work to be diverted to the Masons.
Plascencia is known in the Canaries not only for his anti-Catholic positions but also for promoting Santa Cruz as a homosexual tourist destination in Europe.
He has proposed that some $134,000 in funds for the social work carried out by the Church of St. Dominic be given instead to a program operated by the Masons that helps single mothers, despite the fact that the Church already has an outreach program to such women.
Plascencia, a leader of the Socialist Party, is also demanding that a portion of another $44,000 that is set aside for the Diocese of Tenerife be given to the Masonic Lodge located in downtown Santa Cruz.

For eight years, it was my great pleasure to work as a Park Ranger at Antietam National Battlefield, one of the best preserved Civil War battlefields in the nation. I continue to work for the Park Service at Gettysburg National Military Park. However, I return to Antietam every chance I get and am proud to be a licensed guide. The study of the American Civil War has been a lifelong passion of mine; indeed, it was visits to places like Gettysburg and Antietam when I was quite young that fostered this fascination. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Kutztown University in 2000, a Master's Degree in history from Lehigh University in 2003, as well as an Instructional I Teaching Certificate in Pennsylvania. Since 2008 I have also been employed as an Adjunct Instructor at American Military University, where I teach courses in American history, Civil War history, and Mexican-American War history.
I really enjoy writing and have authored several books and articles, most recently Confrontation at Gettysburg: A Nation Saved, A Cause Lost, and The Battle of South Mountain, both published by The History Press (2012 and 2011, respectively) as part of its Civil War Sesquicentennial Series. In addition, in 2011, I wrote Antietam: September 17, 1862 for the Western Maryland Interpretative Association, a concise, 90-page guide to the Maryland Campaign and Battle of Antietam. In addition to these books, I have written First in Defense of the Union: The Civil War History of the First Defenders (2004), Our Boys Did Nobly: Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, Soldiers at the Battles of South Mountain and Antietam (2009), They Will Be Remembered By A Grateful People: Civil War Heroes of Schuylkill County (2009), and Antietam Trivia (2009). My articles have appeared in several publications, including America's Civil War and Pennsylvania Heritage. I do my best to keep active John in matters of historic preservation and among other ventures, I led the effort to place historical tablets in the city of Pottsville in honor of General James Nagle, and recently concluded a nation-wide campaign to restore the 48th Pennsylvania monument at Antietam by replacing the missing sword from the Nagle statue.
As a native of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, my major focus of study has been the 48th Pennsylvania, a regiment recruited from my native area. In November 2008, I launched a blog documenting the history of the regiment. This blog can be found at: www.48thpennsylvania.blogspot.com
Antietam is an incredible place and what happened here must rank among the most important events in American history, for it was here that Lee's first invasion of Union soil was turned back, where the Union army emerged victorious, and where Abraham Lincoln would find his platform for announcing a proclamation of emancipation. It was also the place of great suffering and great sacrifice, which has been remarkably well preserved.

Weekend's End / The Rot Starts at the Top
The success of "The Sharon Show" on its two-year run was based on what can be called "the charisma of cynicism" - that delicate balance between the man's personal lack of basic credibility, which was already famous in Ben Gurion's time, and the public's feeling that this unreliability has ripened like mature wine and is the most credible and stable thing in our region, or in any case, the most useful thing.
In the stand-up comedy act from hell that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has been staging for two years, the "Naomi Blumenthal shtick" will be remembered as one of the show's classic acts. It will stand beside the "prepare the underground shelters spin," "the Lybian threat piece," the "I don't know, ask my son" prank, as well as the one-liner "Iraqi-Syrian axis," and the so-called "scolding of the central bank governor."
The frozen skull smile that doesn't budge off the face of the fired functionary provides an apt illustration for this comic part, which culminates in the "integrity sermon" - that fiery speech in praise of truth, integrity and honesty in public figures that Sharon gave as he fired the deputy minister. Had it not been accompanied by those unmistakable signs of ticks and nose-twitchings - hinting that the comedian himself is having difficulty controling his facial expressions and not bursting into laughter - this speech might have been taken seriously. One way or the other, it can be compared to another classic comedy shtick - the address of Richard Nixon on his nomination as the Republican presidential candidate in 1968: "Let's begin with committing to the truth; to see things as they are, and say them as they are, to find the truth, to say the truth and to live the truth. And that's what we'll do."
The success of "The Sharon Show" on its two-year run was based on what can be called "the charisma of cynicism" - that delicate balance between the man's personal lack of basic credibility, which was already famous in Ben Gurion's time, and the public's feeling that this unreliability has ripened like mature wine and is the most credible and stable thing in our region, or in any case, the most useful thing. Against the endless lying, deviousness and deceit of Arafat and his gang, Israel has placed like a doomsday weapon Sharon's winking cynicism - the Arrow Missile bluff, opposite the Scud bullshit. Thus, Sharon's talk of "seven days of quiet" required "to start serious negotiations" were received with the same winks and smirks that accompanied his announcement about "agreement on the American road map" or his promise of "a Palestinian state." Between us everything is baloney, more or less like Arafat's "peace of the brave" and "reforms." It's all hogwash, poppycock. But what virtuosity! How naturally it comes to him!
As long as it was aimed at the Palestinians, Sharon's amoral cynicism won support and even sweeping admiration. The rejoicing was also great when he abused Labor's opportunism or Shas's greed. But as in stand-up acts in which the joke sometimes crosses some thin, hidden line of insult to the intelligence, and someone in the audience gets up to punch the comedian or file a suit against him - so it seems that something snapped in the Naomi Blumenthal affair. Suddenly the show's magic evaporated.
It's one thing to bluff, it's one thing to wink - but to cloak oneself with holy rage and pious righteousness? That is too much, even for a virtuoso like Sharon. Perhaps the public is beginning to understand that there is a cumulative price to be paid for a leadership based almost entirely on tricks, bluffs, winks and sly spins.
Even if Sharon is not personally and criminally responsible for the air of cynical corruption that has spread through our public life like a plague - perhaps it is not by chance that it is happening in his time.
After two years in which Sharon showed us how to stay at the top, it is beginning to dawn on us that it is from this very same top that the stink of rottenness is coming.

Issue: When it comes to skills building, many HR specialists think only about the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
Risk: SHRM is a great source, but HR pros shouldn't drink all of their HR knowledge from the same well.
Action: Tap into other national and regional organizations that can improve your HR skills and credentials.
You probably look to SHRM, the preeminent HR organization, for your training, education and certification needs. But don't depend on SHRM alone.
Many other organizations in HR and related fields offer a range of seminars, certifications and practical advice. Here are some national options:
1. International Association for Human Resource Information Management (www.ihrim.org) specializes in educating HR on technology solutions. It holds an annual conference and exposition, plus education courses on HRIM systems. Membership: $215.

The Cordillera Apolobamba is to the north of Lago Titicaca and crosses the border into Peru. Because of the remote location and lack of roads in this region the Cordillera Apolobamba is rarely visited by tourists. When we were there (primo July 2002) we did not meet one single person in a week while in the mountains.
As a result of remote location and lack of maps and information climbing in Cordillera Apolobamba is more adventurous compared to climbing in Cordillera Real. In Apolobamba you will almost for certain be the only group on the mountain and there is no track to follow. Please also remember that you are completely on your own if something goes wrong. On the other hand that's the beauty of it.
The easiest route on Ascarani is the northwest ridge route, AD-, 50 degrees, 300 m, starting at Collado Inglés, from where it is also possible to climb Soral Oeste (5641 m).
Getting There
The bus from La Paz to Pelechuco leaves from El Alto on Wednesdays at 8 am. The trip takes 18-24 hours. The return bus from Pelechuco to La Paz leaves Friday and Sunday at 7 pm (as of 2002). Do not count on arranging private transport when in Pelechuco. If you want private transport it should be arranged in La Paz.
Pelechuco is situated at 3600 m and the village offers only a few shops selling the basics, a couple of lodgings and a staffed medical post. Bring all your stuff from La Paz and don't count on buying supplies in Pelechuco. Mules can be hired in Pelechuco if necesary.
From Pelechuco it is a long days hike up Valle Macara to the base of Ascarani. Several places to establish base camp are found on the pampa. However it is recommended to establish base camp on the moraine towards Collado Inglés from where the easiest route starts.
When To Climb
June, July and August are the best months to climb. Snow conditions are better in the earlier part of the season.
There are no shelters in the area. Bring a tent and camp wherever you want.
Mountain Conditions
The guide agencies have not much updated info on climbing there as they almost never arrange tours in Cordillera Apolobamba. Club Andino Boliviano at Calle Mexico 1638 might have some info.
The weather in Cordillera Apolobamba is normally not as stable as the Cordillera Real. Even during the dry season it often snows in Apolobamba.
Maps and Litterature
BIGM sheet 3041 'Pelechuco' 1:100.000 which is almost impossible to get. The guide agency Andean Summits at Calle Sagárnaga 189 in La Paz has an old xerox copy.
Boundary Commission of the Royal Geographic Society, 1911-13 and updated by Paul Hudson in 1993. Published by RGS, London. The map has mistakes but at least around Valle Macara almost all the peaks are present at the map.
Brain, Y. (1999): 'Bolivia - A Climbing Guide'
Mesili, A. (2002): 'Los Andes de Bolivia - Guia de Escaladas', is in Spanish. It has good maps and describes some of the harder routes, mainly in Cordillera Real.

About LightVC
LightVC is a lightweight model-view-controller (MVC) framework without the model. This decoupling allows any model or object relation mapping (ORM) tool to be used.
LightVC's main purpose is to route requests to controller actions quickly and efficiently. It aims to be extensible, allowing custom routers to be provided (e.g. map legacy URLs to their new locations).
Unlike other MVC frameworks, LightVC does not couple itself to other classes such as those for managing sessions, form helpers, and so on. This promotes code reuse by allowing existing code for such tasks be used.
LightVC has been in production use (millions of hits a month) since early 2007 and was released to the public under the FreeBSD license later that year.
Some project goals:
- Promote code re-use: allow usage of any model or ORM, session classes, helpers, etc.
- Be highly configurable.
- Don't like were things are supposed to be stored? Change it.
- Need a custom router that hits a DB for mapping legacy URLs? Provide one.
- Need multiple routers in a chain-of-responsibility pattern? No problem.
- Be PHP5 Strict compatible: detect problems in your own code by turning error reporting up and not having to worry about the core framework adding garbage to the logs.
- Have a small footprint: code is a liability so have as little of it as possible (the core currently has \~600 lines of code and over 800 lines of phpDoc comments).
- Be Fast: the view-controller routing code should not be the bottleneck.
- Download and extract one of the tagged releases.
- Point a web server to the "webroot" folder.
Read more about this in the Quickstart Guide.
- Read documentation or dive right into the example controllers, views, and application config in the download.
- View the changelog.
- Report issues on github.
- Use pull requests to contribute code.
- The deprecated launchpad site can still be found here.

I tried this as my afternoon tea. It smelled promising, of fruit and green tea, but upon steeping (165/1.5 min… too short, so I dropped it down for another 1.5 min) the flavor just never developed. All I could really taste was the tart apple. No mango. The green tea was very weak. I wasn't impressed with this one.

Voices of The Wetlands: 'Poor Man's Paradise' in Peril
Blues guitarist Tab Benoit, a native of Houma, La., grew up near the Barataria-Terrebonne estuary system, an area of immense natural resources and fishing communities. It's the cultural home to many French-speaking Acadian peoples, otherwise known as Cajuns.
In 2004, Benoit created Voice of the Wetlands, a volunteer non-profit organization that raises awareness of coastal Louisiana's cultural significance, as well as its enormous value to the United States' energy sector. The wetland ecosystem is Louisiana's natural barrier for hurricane protection, and it is currently washing into the sea. Add to that the environmental disaster currently in the news, and you have a delicate region on the verge of total collapse.
The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars performed at the Acura Stage last Sunday during the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, just two days following the Earth Day sinking of British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico. The problem had not yet reached its current magnitude, but even the threat of coastal erosion will deal a potentially devastating blow to South Louisiana.
The VOW All-Stars included Dr. John, percussionist Cyril Neville, accordion player Johnny Sansone, guitarist Anders Osborne, bassist George Porter, and drummer Johnny Vidacovich, all joining Benoit for a set of swamp-based Louisiana music. Guests included Allen Toussaint, drummer Stanton Moore from Galactic and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux of the Golden Eagles. There were audience members who came simply to trawl for the starpower on that stage, but there were also messages in the music. Johnny Sansone, bending his accordion and belting an original, "Poor Man's Paradise," made a statement of post-Katrina angst that rings a little louder today, when he described a place where "little people suffer and big shots don't compromise."
Look on old Louisiana license plates and you'll see "Sportsman's Paradise." It's my paradise too, and it's worth saving.

Unanswered: bcp, queryout and pipe delimiter
When I execute the following string within a stored procedure:
(The string has been modified to mask company info)
bcp "Exec dbname.dbo.GetSalesCodesContracts" queryout d:\ftp\sfa\SalescodeContract-1.txt -m1 -c -t| -Uxxxxx -Pxxxxx -Sxxxxx
I get the following error: The name specified is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
But if I change -t| to -t, (comma) it works ok and produces a comma delimited file.
The pipe character seems to be the problem. The help file on delimiters says you can use the pipe.
This is running under SQL Server 7.0.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using bulk insert or the bcp command line utility?
'|' is used for command line re-direction, most commonly to more, find and sort. It can also be used to re-direct the output of one application to another application. I suspect the command interpriter sees the '|' and tries to re-direct the result of your bcp command to the '-UXXXXX' application which as you have found out does not exist.
Hope this helped.Paul Young
