Families in the Chelaybinsk region in Russia are finding ways to cash in on the scare that a meteorite caused when it streaked across the sky on Feb. 15. Families in the villages of Deputatsky and Pervomaysky are searching the area to collect the meteorite's fragments.
The fragments of the so-called Chebarkul meteorite are then sold online for as much as 500,000 roubles ($16,300).
Finding fragments of the meteorite is quite simple. As the BBC reports, they have made holes the size of a mouse's lair on the ground. So meteorite hunters now that when they find a hole in the ground it's either a rodent or a piece of the space rock.
Although the rocks contain common minerals, the internet is full of ads selling the meteorite's fragments. Russian authorities have already questioned a man who has sold meteorite fragments online for 15,000 roubles. The online seller could be charged with fraud if the rocks are fake.

The Hawthorne studies, initially undertaken to investigate the relationship between work-place conditions and worker productivity, introduced a wide range of topics to the field of management study. Investigators found no strong relationship between workplace conditions and productivity but reached several conclusions: individual work behavior is driven by a complex set of factors; work groups develop norms which mediate between the needs of the individual and institution; employees should not be considered appendages of machinery; awareness of employee sentiments and participation can reduce resistance to change; the workplace is an interlocking social system, not simply a production system; social structure maintained through symbols of prestige and power. These findings opened the door to the study of client-centered therapy, small group behavior, and organization theory and research methodology. The Hawthorne studies represented groundbreaking work in the field of management when they were undertaken in 1924. While the original intention of the studies was to determine the effect of workplace conditions on employee productivity, in line with the Tay-lorist view of management of that day their findings addressed topics far a Continue...

About Live…from the Heart
Live...from the Heart isn't just a chance for students to see live surgery.
It's an opportunity to explore the human heart in all its wonder. Your students will be able to ask the surgical team questions about all things heart-related. Live...from the Heart is also a rare glimpse into the world of health professionals, offering an unparalleled career exploration experience.
Who can participate?
Live ... from the Heart is available to students in grades 9 through 12. The program will no longer be offered to 8th graders, as the content and pacing are more appropriate for high-school students. Students in grades 7 through 12 are invited to take part in a shorter version of the program called Heart Surgery 101.
How do I participate?
Your class must participate on one of the scheduled program dates on Wednesdays between Sept. 17, 2014 and June 3, 2015 (except 11/26, 12/24 and 12/31) from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Central Time (the length of the surgery). Classes can either take part onsite at the Museum or remotely from a classroom with videoconferencing equipment.
What is the cost?
The Live ... from the Heart program is $300. A 30 percent non-refundable deposit must be received two weeks prior to the start of your program quarter as follows:
- Fall programs (September - November) - Deposit due by September 3, 2014
- Winter programs (December - February) - Deposit due by November 19, 2014
- Spring programs (March - June) - Deposit due by February 18, 2015
If you do not submit your deposit in time, your session will be given to another group. You will receive an email reminder about the deposit policy two weeks before your deposit is due. Final full payment is due two weeks before your scheduled session. If you do not pay in full on time, your session will be given to another group and you will forfeit your deposit.
Can I reschedule or cancel my session?
If you call to reschedule prior to the start of your program quarter, you will be moved to an available spot or put on the waiting list if no spots are available. If the rescheduled session is in the current program quarter, the 30 percent deposit is due immediately, with the remainder due two weeks prior to your session. Groups that reschedule also will be charged a $10 rescheduling fee.
If you call to reschedule during your program quarter, up to two weeks before your session, and we are unable to move you to an available spot, you will be placed on the waiting list and forfeit your 30 pecent non-refundable deposit.
You may not reschedule less than two weeks before your session. If you must cancel, you will forfeit all fees that have been paid.

The iPhone 5s and 5c dominated the holiday season earning Apple the honor of being the only smartphone manufacturer to gain North American usage share during the holiday season. Though the iPad didn't show a similar gain, it still remains the dominant tablet in North America.
According to Chitika, the iPhone accounted for 54.3% of web usage share in North America. This figure is up 1.8% from the pre-holiday season. Apple was the only handset manufacture to gain usage share. Google stayed the same at a negligible 0.7%, while HTC, Motorola and others lost market share. Samsung, Apple's closest competitor with 23.7% usage share, fell 0.8% during the holiday season.
On the tablet side of the equation, the iPad still dominates with a whopping 76.1% usage share. Despite its dominance, the iPad lost usage share, falling 1.3% during the Christmas holidays. Though the iPad dropped, other manufacturers like Samsung and Amazon showed gains of 5.9% and 9.4%, respectively. This trend is likely the result of the higher price tag of the iPad in comparison to its competitors. Though consumers won't bat an eye at buying an iPad for themselves, they may be reluctant to pay a higher price tag for a gift.
According to Chitika, its survey is based on "a sample of tens of millions of smartphone and tablet online ad impressions from the Chitika network between December 20 to 29, 2013."

This is an easy and delicious one pot meal. The number of servings seems rather weird, but that is how many 2 cup servings we got. I see that the sodium value is pretty high. There is no way to note it when entering nutrition information, but you rinse the chickpeas which lowers the sodium considerably. Of course you can also reduce the amount of salt you add to lower it even further! If you have left over butternut squash that is already cooked it cuts down the recipe time to less than 30 minutes, just skip the first step and proceed with recipe. Enjoy!

The press certainly likes California Family Fitness, granting the exercise venue such awards as a top spot on KCRA-3's 2012 A-List and Sacramento News and Review's Best of Sacramento 2012 Award. The press, however, isn't the top priority for the gym's staff; they believe that, to quote their about CFF page, "awards don't greet you at the door." Instead, they depend upon their dedicated staffers at the front desk, chaperones at the Kidz Club play zone, and personal trainers to make families of clients feel at home. Certified personal trainers take aspiring exercisers of all ages through regimens that make use of the 16 available locations' ample workout machinery. Seasoned instructors, meanwhile, hold group fitness classes, free with a membership, fostering community as they incinerate calories during high-energy Zumba, step aerobics, Turbo Kick, and Hip Hop Hustle. Nine of the locations boast pools that host swim lessons taught by certified water-safety instructors.
While hitting the gym, parents can drop wee ones at childcare havens lined with playgrounds and age-appropriate investment manuals. After breaking a sweat on the exercise floor, clients can also shed excess body moisture in saunas and tanning beds.
As soon as children are old enough to walk, they are old enough to begin honing their coordination, body-awareness, and basic motor skills through engaging and age-appropriate gymnastics lessons. That's the central philosophy driving the instructors at Byers Gymnastics, which has four locations, and a 40-year legacy of providing both basic and competition-level training for boys and girls ranging from toddlers to teenagers. While youngsters learn the fundamentals of jumping, balancing, and rolling, older students can master more challenging routines and learn to safely use various pieces of traditional gymnastics equipment, such as the balance beams, floor, vault, and tumble trak, and the slightly off-kilter stepladder. These year-round programs cater to visitors of virtually all interests and levels, and share the common goal of building stamina and flexibility, while also teaching students the value of perseverance and self-determination.
In the recently remodeled sunlit studio, yogis of all shapes sprawl out on colorful mats and towels. They stretch and meditate in the sauna-like air, which is heated to 105 degrees to aid flexibility and draw out toxins. When class begins, students follow a certified instructor through 26 postures and two breathing exercises. After class, they head back to the lobby to rehydrate or head to the changing room to check their cell phones, pagers, or portable telegraph machines—all of which instructors request stay outside the studio. Students of all levels and athletic abilities experience the benefits of these sessions, including enhanced strength, reduced stress, and increased energy.
A small, intimate, privately owned personal training and massage studio committed to creating a safe place to support you in reaching and sustaining your goals to be a more powerful you - physically, nutritionally and spiritually, coaching body and mind.
Kovar's Satori Academy is Sacramento's leading group of martial arts schools. We have been voted Sacramento's top martial arts school four years in a row by the readers of Sacramento magazine and viewers of KCRA. We have classes for people of all ages and all classes are taught by friendly certified instructors.
In the horror films of the 1960s and '70s, zombies were represented as hordes of frightening—albeit sluggish—undead. These days, the typical zombie has a little more spring in his step. During zombie apocalypse–themed tag at Play2Survive, the undead chase after humans who seek shelter at several designated checkpoints. Fortunately, the zombies are only fellow participants, who "infect" the living by tagging them. Meanwhile, racers who retain their humanity must reach a minimum of five checkpoints scattered around the course before crossing the finish line. The first survivors in the team and solo categories to make it back to headquarters receive prizes. The top flesh-eaters among the zombies also get rewards, presumably including a spot as a backup moaner on some pop star's new album.
The touring event is the brainchild of Project TMD, a group of friends who spent their college days scouring California for large-scale role-playing opportunities. Eager to share their passion for fitness and fun with others, the Project TMD crew now stages their own events across the state. The group also does its part to provide local high schools with resources for physical fitness and outdoor play. Project TMD encourages Play2Survive participants to sponsor a local high school of their choice. The school whose sponsors earn the most points receives a portion of the event's proceeds—as does the parks and recreation district hosting the game.

Chase by Kira Stone
Bayou Shifters series, Book 1
Changeling Press
Werewolf/Paranormal Romance (M/M)
Reviewed by Sabella
Chase has been driven by unexplainable
impulses to abandon his entire life, family and a promising
career and go live in the Louisiana bayou very close
to nature. At this point, Chase figures he is slowly going
insane and hiding in a bayou is as good a place as any to do
it in. However, his plan is not exactly working out – his
sister has found him, the local sheriff has a little too
much interest in his activities and Chase keeps having
strange thoughts about the wolf that has "adopted" him…
Casper is determined to guide Chase
through his first "transformation" into a wolf, but Chase is
not making the task easier. The entire situation is
complicated by the attraction they feel for one another and
Chase's instinctual repulsion to sexual thoughts about an
animal. However, Casper will find a way to guide Chase
through this – even against Chase's wishes…

About the Speedo brand
Speedo produce a fantastic range of swimwear and swimming accesories including swimsuits, swimming goggles, kickboards, swimming fins and pullbouys plus much more. Founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The 'SPEEDO' company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. This acceptance of swimwear and the introduction of the 'Racerback' costume meant it was time for a new company name. A staff competition was held and won by a Captain Parsonson who coined the slogan 'Speed on in your Speedos'. The SPEEDO name was born in 1928.

We have dined at the buffet at Gateways several times, each time quite average. The recent seafood buffet dining experience was very average at a premium price ($40/head) Considering Carnarvon is a fishing location would expect the freshest and tastiest meals but this did not deliver, suggest elsewhere.

Hi, i have an iPhone 3G OS 3 with broken mute button, it got broken on mute state, now the button doesnt work at all, looks like broken from inside, so no matter how you switch it, its still mute..
i thought there definitely must be a way to unmute/mute using a software or using command line to tell the iPhone to mute/unmute, the button after all activate a command, if someone can get hold of that command then it should work through terminal.. then maybe create a scrip and save it as app.
Theoretically, it should work... any one got any info about this? or can help?

Three Englishmen and a Welshman Tale
Three Englishman walk into a bar and spot a Welshman sitting alone at a table.
One fellow said to the others, 'Let's pick a fight with that Welshman over there.'
He went over to the Welshman and said, 'St David was a flippin' sissy.'
The second Englishman now tried his luck and said to the Welshman, 'St David was a stupid fool that wore a dress!'
The last Englishman told his friends he knew how to rile the Welshman and bounced up to the table and yelled, 'St David was an Englishman!'
The Welshman replied, calmly, 'That's what your mates were trying to tell me.'

meta_query should check for wildcards when using LIKE operator
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
This seems intentional, but when using the LIKE operator in a meta query, the % wildcards are automatically added to the start and end of the value when generating the SQL.
I think a more robust way of doing this would be to only add said wildcards if one cannot be found within the value itself.

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't think we expose MySQL's '%' wildcards anywhere ATM.
comment:2 in reply to: ↑ 1 ejdanderson — 2 years ago
Replying to scribu:
I'm on the fence on this one. I don't think we expose MySQL's '%' wildcards anywhere ATM.
I dont think so either, there are a few places in the code that act in a similar way get_terms() for example, although in that case its a search parameter and seems appropriate.
I can see why exposing this is a bad idea, we don't want user input to be able to set SQL wildcards.
There have been numerous times though when I need to filter in custom SQL for a LIKE operator. A large majority of these have been to remove the leading '%'. Maybe a better solution is a flag to describe where '%' should be set - preceding, trailing, or both.
comment:3 SpaceMacGyver — 23 months ago
- Cc SpaceMacGyver added
While I appreciate the need to abstract the SQL away from the query, as ejdanderson suggests a flag to control this would indeed be the appropriate means of handling this. As a stopgap measure, though, a filter on get_meta_sql to modify the WHERE clause should hopefully address this (example code provided below to remove the first % from the LIKE condition):
function remove_sql_wildcard_prefix($q) { $q['where'] = preg_replace("/(LIKE ')%(.*?%')/", "$1$2", $q['where']); return $q; } add_filter('get_meta_sql', 'remove_sql_wildcard_prefix');
(disclaimer: the provided code is not yet tested, but in theory I think it works)

AIA365's Jose Garcia recovering from heart condition
Originally published: Oct 7, 2013 - 12:00 am
On Friday, Oct. 4 while preparing video for an AIA365.com story at his home, Jose Garcia suffered a sudden episode from a heart condition. Affer being revitalized, Garcia was placed on a 36--hour induced coma to help him recover. He awoke on Sunday, Oct. 6 and is currently undergoing tests to determine the extent of his injuries, as well as the cause of his condition. More information will be provided as it becomes available. The AIA and AIA365.com family wishes Jose Garcia a healthy and speedy recovery.
About Jose Garcia:
Garcia joined the AIA365.com staff with the position of Multimedia Journalist/Historian in August 2012 after working for The Arizona Republic for nearly 12 years as a high school sports reporter and contributor to Channel 12's Friday Night Fever show for seven seasons.
Garcia's experience has helped to evolve AIA365.com by providing video blogs and features as well embracing and fully utilizing the technology websites have to offer today. Garcia has made Twitter a primary focus of the association in interacting with its member schools and the general public.

Lumina News file photo�
David Salling won the People�s Choice award for his entry, �Rudolph the Redtail Stingray,� during the 2012 North Carolina Holiday Flotilla. Only six of 30 available participant spots are open now for the 2013 boat parade on Saturday, Nov. 30.
There are 24 boat entries for the North Carolina Holiday Flotilla boat parade with six spots open to reach the goal of 30 boats for the 30-year mark.
During the last flotilla committee meeting on Monday, Oct. 28, before the Nov. 29-30 weekend event, chairwoman Linda Brown said two captains had dropped out of the parade.
Soon a banner will be displayed in the Town of Wrightsville Beach with the number of spots open.
Brown and vice chairwoman Nancy Faye Craig will attend two town staff meetings in November to finalize plans. During the coming weeks, the two are also meeting to decide how to display the flotilla history during the Friday Night Party, which will feature the Craig Woolard Band.
One item the board still needs to resolve is how captains will display the numbers on their boats this year, so they are visible to text-to-vote.
There are some small changes, like new 30th anniversary logo T-shirts as merchandise and moving the car show closer to the Wrightsville Beach Park event stage for the Day in the Park.
�We have a lot of new vendors,� Brown said about the 69 vendors signed up as of the meeting. �� We have more new than repeat this year.�
Later in the meeting, the board reversed a previous decision to opt out of the community tent at the Wrightsville Beach Farmers� Market in 2014.
�I�m thinking that maybe we made a mistake,� Brown said. �If y�all are OK with it, let�s go back to participating in it. � And I�ll be honest, we did tell a lot of people about flotilla.�
She said she does not care if board members sell any merchandise, but the community tent is just something to do for the community.
With only a month left, board members are reminding the community about the Best in Show boat grand prize, which is a 17-foot Carolina Skiff with a Suzuki motor and trailer donated by Hutchens Law Firm.
After the 30th anniversary event has wrapped up, Brown will be stepping down from her position. She made the same announcement in the past, but said now she is serious.
�I think for the community and for the flotilla it�s nice to change up and get fresh ideas,� Brown said.
She said she would still be available as the former chair to be involved any way she can, but that she wants to pass the torch.

Raising the Value of Women in Your Church
Raising the Value of Women in Your Church
Posted on: May 5, 2011
Written by:
Tamé Lambert
We've all used this term to describe the most special moments of life: marriage, the birth of a child or grandchild, a college graduation, buying a new car or a new home, or getting a new job. Looking back over these highlights in my own life (and recently experiencing the death of my father), I have determined that life itself is priceless.
It's easy to regard life as priceless, yet just as easy for us to decrease the value of certain individuals. Many people today suffer from low self-esteem because of difficult experiences in life. In some cases, people are actually labeled mistakes or failures.
The world is full of devalued people, and women suffer most from this devaluation. Women make up over half of the world's population—yet in many cultures they are oppressed, marginalized, abused and horribly mistreated. Even in the United States, where women enjoy equal civil rights, countless women suffer from depression, domestic violence, sexual abuse and neglect.
No wonder women struggle to know who they really are! They have never heard the truth—that they are valuable because they were created in the very image of the Creator of the universe.
When Jesus walked this earth, He restored the dignity of women. He even allowed His women followers to be the first witnesses of His resurrection. And when Jesus poured out His Holy Spirit upon the church on the day of Pentecost, He empowered both the sons and the daughters to prophesy (see Acts 2:17-18).
Today, the Christian community can make a huge difference if we will truly convey the heart of Jesus to women. What an awesome responsibility the Father has given us!
The issues women face today are numerous. Countless women around the world suffer from an identity crisis. They struggle to discover who they are and where they fit in their families, in their communities and in their churches.
In the developing world, many women fight to feed themselves and their children. They wrestle with the knowledge that their only value is as a bearer of sons. They weep as their daughters are left to die, and they struggle in a patriarchal society where genital mutilation and rape are their lots in life.
In some countries in the Middle East, women are not allowed to drive or walk down the street without a male relative. In other places, women risk the threat of violence every time they walk outdoors. In some countries, women are expected to earn the family's income while their husbands squander it drinking alcohol all day.
In the Western world, many women have careers, yet they often receive less pay even when working the same jobs as men. In addition, many women have fewer opportunities for advancement. Even while pursuing their careers, most continue to manage the bulk of the childrearing responsibilities and daily household tasks inside the home.
The pace of living such a lifestyle leaves women exhausted, disillusioned and frustrated with life in general. They struggle with the delicate balance of meeting the needs of their families, their careers, and their own personal expectations. Many are confused about who they are, what they should do and how to behave responsibly in their environment.
On every inhabited continent, there are women who do not realize their value or worth. Their issues are different, but their questions are universal in nature. In her book The Gospel of Ruth: Loving God Enough to Break the Rules, author Carolyn Custis James says most women are asking these questions:
• Are my efforts less important because I'm a woman?
• Where do I fit in God's purposes?
• Do I have a calling?
• Has my usefulness expired?
Women often don't really understand their potential, the unique contribution they can make in this generation, or their place as bearers of Christ's image to the world. Every woman struggles with these issues, whether she is an executive in the corporate arena earning a six-figure salary, a stay-at-home mom with a tenth-grade education, or a childless widow in East Africa. However, God did not create woman as an afterthought; she is an integral part of His plan in creation.
The Bible affirms God's love and goodness toward women, showing repeatedly how His kingdom is moving forward through the efforts of ordinary women. The truth is powerful: Women are valuable!
Breaking Traditional Mindsets
Scientists have calculated how much each of the enzymes and hormones in a woman's body are worth. One author added these up and determined that an average size woman is worth $6,000,015.44, more or less, based on her weight. (Some of us are worth more!) Women are indeed valuable!
We, as a church, must start intentionally spreading this important truth. It is time to open our eyes to the value of the women around us, not just because of how they serve the body of Christ, but because they are a part of the body. God's image resides in them. It is time for our perception to change! He created each woman and man for Kingdom purposes.
When Jesus talked with the woman at the well in Samaria, she said, "Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet" (John 4:19). Not until she was willing to receive Him as a prophet could she receive from Him what He could give. Honor involves recognizing the true value of a person or thing. When we fail to recognize the gifts and talents of women, and give them the honor they deserve, we fail to receive the benefits that they bring to the body of Christ.
I believe Christian men play a vital role in the restoration of the lost value of women. They must begin to honor women again. I love the way author Lisa Bevere says it in her new book Lioness Arising: "It's time to realize that men aren't the problem, but they can and should be part of the answer. Something dynamic happens when men shoulder some of the load of the restoration of dignity and power alongside the women."
Women are vital to the Kingdom. How, then, does the church help women realize their potential and release them into ministry? For years, women have carried the bulk of the work done behind the scenes in local churches (child care, food preparation, church cleaning and administrative work, for example), yet they have been passed over when it comes to visible leadership roles.
Carolyn Custis James says in her book, Lost Women of the Bible, that the devaluation of women has caused many of them to leave the faith. "A wave of talented women who are valued and sought out in the workplace for their training, expertise, and leadership skills are walking away from the church because it seems so uninviting to them," she writes. "Tragically, the message they're picking up is that the church will clip their wings and has nothing hopeful to offer them."
This has been a subject of great controversy in the church world, and it certainly won't be resolved in this article. Through the years, there have been churches that release women to ministry and others that forbid them to enter any public ministry. In this regard, I am thankful for the support of my husband and the International Pentecostal Holiness Church—which has a rich history of ordaining and affirming women ministers.
Yet, in spite of the fact that our denomination affirms the idea of women in ministry, this principle is not always practiced. For many years, I worked primarily in the background as a pastor's wife and mother of our children. The churches we pastored gave me liberty, but I was consumed with taking care of my family.
Besides, I never really fit the typical "pastor's wife" mold. I didn't sing and play the piano, and I wasn't ashamed of my musical shortcomings! In fact, I sought other ways to partner with my husband in the work of the ministry. At every turn, he was there encouraging me to be what God intended.
As time progressed, ministry opportunities began to present themselves. From the time our children could comprehend English, I taught them the stories of the Bible. I taught vacation Bible school, Sunday school classes and special youth services. While I attended a South Carolina Conference camp meeting, God spoke to me in one of the morning services and said, "Feed my lambs."
I was unsure what that meant, but I agreed to do whatever He desired. Over the next eight years, God moved me into a leadership role with girls' ministry and eventually placed me into position as Women's Ministries director for my conference. I served in that role for 11 years.
During that season, I saw countless women become licensed and ordained ministers, including my own two daughters. Many became senior pastors. At women's conferences, which attracted 700 to 800 in attendance, my goal was to break old paradigms and bridge the gap between the former generation and the next generation.
Many women were set free and began to embrace the calling to be vessels God could use to reach their generation. As these women began to realize their self-worth and understand that God valued them for who they were, they began to get more involved in the ministries of their local churches.
Congregations that were once locked into traditionalism—and totally blind to the gifts and abilities God has placed within women—began to release and encourage their women in ministry. They tapped into a dynamic that began to revolutionize entire congregations. When you set women free, the freedom becomes contagious and affects everyone else!
Abolitionist Harriet Tubman said this when she crossed the line to freedom: "I was free; but there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land." In his book Understanding the Purpose and Power of Woman, Bahamian preacher Myles Munroe says many women feel the same way Tubman felt about her leadership abilities. They need others to help them navigate the new territory that God has opened to them.
Ed Silvoso, founder of Harvest Evangelism, calls women "God's secret weapons that He is using in the harvest in these last days." The Bible gives numerous examples of women, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament, who carried spiritual authority and had great influence. Miriam, Deborah, Ruth, Esther, Mary Magdalene, Priscilla and Phoebe are just a few examples. These women were strategically involved in the advancement of Christ's Kingdom.
Throughout the history of the church, God has raised up other mighty women who were not content to serve in traditional roles, from the women martyrs of the New Testament church; to missionaries such as Gladys Aylward, Mary Slessor and Amy Carmichael; to evangelistic pioneers such as Catherine Booth and Phoebe Palmer; to Pentecostal firebrands such as Aimee Semple McPherson and Kathryn Kuhlman. With every outpouring of the Spirit, God has always raised the value of women!
I pray that in this new season of the church, we will do everything possible to set women free and empower them for service. My prayer is that God will help us to receive the women through whom He is working in our day. I pray He will help us declare the value He has placed upon women and release them to do the work of the Lord.
The great task of world evangelism cannot be accomplished alone. Men and women must be partners in this great mission. Let's extend His kingdom together!
