Archived version of our news from a time before we used a database-driven news management system.
LAMPP 0.9.7 now contains both new versions.
Also new in this release: the new version of MySQL (3.23.54a) and ncurses 5.8. MySQL will now runs also on systems without ncurses.
Alas LAMPP got bigger. I'm sorry, but I will try to get it smaller in the next releases.
PHP 4.2.3 has problems with several popular software packages like phpBB and Postnuke because of the bug in the file_exists() function. The development version fixes this bug and I hope it's stable enough to do a good job! ;)
Besides a new look of the containing web pages LAMPP now includes: Webalizer, Ming to make your own Flash movies with PHP, Sablotron and libxml2 for PHP XML support and also a new version of phpMyAdmin.
New also in this release: a "security" parameter for the LAMPP start programm. With it you can start a small security check for your LAMPP installation and set easily passwords for MySQL and FTP.
WAMPP also got a new numbering for it's version string. More about it at the WAMPP page.

Safavieh Classic CL362B Navy Rug
Item #: CL136CL362A-P Add to Wishlist
$32 - $683 + FREE SHIPPINGDescription: In Creating The Classic Collection, Careful Attention To Each Critical Element Of Design, Material, Color, And Workmanship Was Painstakingly Undertaken To Meet Safavieh'S Award Winning Standards. Some Of The Finest Persian And European Exemplary Designs Are Reinterpreted In The Classic Collection. The Use Of 100% Pure Premium Wool And A Luster Wash Gives The Pile A Plush, Soft Feel. Hand-Tufted. Made In India.
- Collection: Classic
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Traditional Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' x 3', 2' 3" x 4' and 6' Round
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
This rug is beautiful! It's thick, vey rich colors and it warms the room wonderful. All the rugs I have bought from this company are all beautiful. I am very glad I was told about where to buy the best rugs at thie best deal. Thank you!
The rug I received looks like something for pets. The design has nothing to do with the picture. False advertising. Very disappointing.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.I ordered this for a hall in which I needed a 14' runner, and I'm quite pleased with it! It seems well-made and has a non-abrasive back that won't scratch up my hardwoods. My only complaints is that what looks like ivory/off-white in the photo is really more of a drab olive green, but it is still a lovely rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is my third rug from Rugs USA. So far I have been more than satisfied with the quality and workmanship of the products.
I have purchased several rugs and every last one has been better than I could have hoped. This one is lovely.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The deep colors are rich looking & quality supurb. It has a thick pile and very well made.
This is a high quality rug in great colors. In my opinion, however it looks completely different in smaller sizes than the picture presented on the site. It is far less detailed at 4'x6' size I ordered and has large areas of solid color. If you like that or want a large rug great, but if you really like the rich detail of the image here and don't like rugs with simple patterns I'd stay away from this rug at smaller sizes despite the beautiful colors and quality. I returned it for that reason and give a full 5 stars to the Rugs USA customer service team.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.nice thick rug for the bathroom
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs.

Title: Balloons are horrible quality
Date: Mar 31, 2012
I bought two packs of these balloons for my sons 5th birthday party. I took them to have helium filled and every time the woman tried to fill the balloons they popped. She did about 4 out of the 12. I took the rest home to just blow up by mouth and have them floating around on the living room floor. of the 8 remaining, I was only able to fully blow up two without them popping in my face as I was blowing them up. Looking at the two that actually did not burst, i noticed what looked like thin spots on the balloon. These areas were what was causing the ballons to pop. Unless they just gave me a bad batch of balloons, I do not recommend these balloons at all.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the comments - it seems like it is worth clarifying exactly what 3 way link techniques are used before I can establish whether this is good practice or not.
Please keep the comments coming - they are really helpful!
06 May 2010 11:04am
Can someone please explain the difference between link farms and 3 way linking - are these the same or different?
In answer to your question 3 Way Linking is when somebody links to you from one of their sites and in turn you link to their main site they are trying to promote. A Link Farm is a group of websites that all hyperlink between each and every other site within the group or network. The ethical process of building links should not be confused with being listed on unethical link farms, as the latter requires reciprocal return links, which often means the backlink is greatly devalued. This is because the search engines know its an arranged 2 way relationship. We offer professional and award winning link building services, so please get in touch if we can help. Rob Arkell.

Quote Mothit Goel:
A good company can be very convincing with the comments and replies in forums or on reviews and this can make a big difference to your business.
So your link building strategy is to post shill reviews and fake forum posts?

Bad, reciprocal links are devalued and link farms are banned so three way links have potentially the worst of both worlds. Better to use ethical link building services - top quality directory and article submissions in particular.

I get many emails inquiring about the chevron pattern that's so hot this year, so when it came time for my next DIY project for Project Wedding, the choice was obvious.
I am certainly not the first cake designer to use the chevron pattern on a cake, ad I have to give a shout out to my predecessors. This peach and navy chevron cake by Vanilla Bake Shop is the first one I remember seeing, years ago, and I love the preppy colors and contrasting heights of the two tiers. I love the clean lines and muted tones of this one by Sweet & Saucy. And finally this one by Carrie Sellman of The Cake Blog, because it is so incredibly neat and accurate.
I don't know how other cake designers do their chevron, but here's how I do mine.
You will need (clockwise from left):
fondant in the color(s) of your choice (We used a citrus-inspired palette here.)
Xacto knife
food-use only paint brush
rolling pin
fondant board
Measure cake's circumference. Determine the size of the chevron by dividing circumference into even segments the size of your choosing, usually around 1″ – 1.5″, to . For example, our cake had a circumference of 26″. We determined that each segment would be 1.3″ for a total of 20.
Create chevron template. Measure segment size on paper and mark with pen. Holding paper horizontally (landscape), fold into accordian so that each fold measures the same size as the segment. (Each of our folds measured 1.3″)
Cut paper at an angle. For a deeper chevron, angle scissors more vertically. For a more shallow chevron, angle scissor more horizontally.
Using the same angle as first cut, cut the other side of the paper. For a wider chevron, move scissor further from first cut. For a narrower chevron, move scissor closer to first cut.
Unfold. Your chevron template is complete.
Create fondant chevron. Roll fondant thinly. Place template on fondant and carefully cut with Xacto knife. (Avoid paper sticking to fondant by rubbing it with cornstarch.) Remove excess fondant.
Score cake. Use template to gently score cake to guide placement of fondant chevron.
Create pattern on cake. Use water to wet cake. Apply fondant chevron to cake. Continue pattern around entire cake.
Lay second color directly above first. (Optionally, use the template to guide placement of another row evenly spaced above first row.) Repeat with additional colors.
Complete the look. Add fresh flowers, or use sugar flowers like the sugar ranunculus seen here.

Some Assembly Required
Another relationship, another failure,
His feelings had become traitors,
He was broken, shattered into pieces,
He had fallen into life's little creases,
Fears and doubts had to be embraced,
Lost hopes and dreams had to be retraced,
Symptoms of failure had to be addressed,
Passions and gifts had to be stressed,
Until he moved through his own limitations,
He would refrain from any other relations,
He wasn't sure if he still could trust,
He could hesitate no longer, he had to adjust,
He was a bud tightly shut, waiting to burst,
Wanting his flowering talents to be dispersed,
His friends and kin gathered about to comfort him,
But quickly he discovered their demeanors grim,
And their words were hollow and mean,
As they reflected on each relationship they'd seen,
He dismissed them, deciding he'd walk and talk alone,
But afraid his heart would turn to stone,
He had to find a way to put the pieces together,
To rebuild his life so he could love once again,
Help was needed desperately so he could begin,
From a business quarterly he saw what he needed,
There were steps to success if he just heeded,
1) Socializing with a purpose of something to gain,
2) Selling his personality without looking vain,
3) His public image he would have to maintain,
4) Then convince his audience he was what she wanted,
5) Letting everyone know he was not easily daunted,
6) He would present himself well using all his skills,
7) And be well received in social media's frills,
He knew he couldn't be fooled by the masks he saw,
And he wasn't concerned about someone with flaws,
He was looking for someone who didn't pretend,
Someone who knew herself and was true to him,
He had pieces missing he was on a mission to get,
She, too, would have baggage, he was willing to bet,
He would be vulnerable, his passion and love set free,
He would be ready and eager for his destiny,
He was optimistic, no longer in disarray,
At a milestone in life where he could proudly say,
"I may be disassembled, but my future is gold,
I'm ready for someone to love and to hold,"
He placed his information on a social network,
Trying to sound like he wasn't a jerk,
"I'm currently seeking someone who strives,
To reach dreams and goals, and thrives,
When she's treated like a queen,
Self-motivated to help me cook and clean,
Ready to share and work together all your life,
Willing to join me as man and wife,
Ready to face whatever's in store,
Bonded together, richer or poor,
Committed to love till death do us part,
She'll also need to be a mechanic of the heart,
Helping romance along as this vision transpires,
The future is ours, but some assembly is required,"
He waited patiently for a reply to his ad,
If no one was willing, he would be sad,
Maybe he was expecting love too soon, too deep,
He went to bed troubled, afraid to sleep,
"I'm too broken for someone to care,
Nobody is willing to chance it out there,"
Like a child at Christmas he stared at the screen,
Hoping and praying for one name to be seen,
But he was shocked at the scene before his eyes,
There was page after page of interested replies,
But one special note got him all inspired,
"The future is ours, but some assembly is required!"

La Plata, Maryland – For over 30 years, the employees and physicians of UM Charles Regional Medical Center have collected and decorated dozens of baskets of canned and boxed foods for donation during Thanksgiving week. Each department, individually or with other departments decorateand fills huge baskets with food, often including turkeys and gift certificates,for local individuals or organizations in need.
Employees also collected book bags and school supplies for local schoolchildren. The school supplies are donated to Charles County Children's Aid Society.
On November 20, UM Charles Regional's Medical Staff Committee, under the direction of Guillermo Sanchez, MD, held a special event for the employees and physicians to display their beautifully decorated baskets. This year's baskets will be given to local families in need. Carol Jackson, Board Member from the Charles County Children's Aid Society was presented with the school supplies and back packs. The La Plata High School Chamber Choir performed festive songs to kick off the holiday season at UM Charles Regional.
LA PLATA, Md. – University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center was named Top Performer on Key Quality Measures® by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America.
For the second consecutive year, UM Charles Regional was recognized by The Joint Commission for exemplary performance in using evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care.
UM Charles Regional is among the 1,099 U.S. hospitals earning the distinction of Top Performer on Key Quality Measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. It's one of only 424 hospitals in the U.S. to earn the distinction in each of the last two years.
"This is no small achievement," said UM Charles Regional Chief Medical Officer Mark Dumais, MD, FACP. "We put a constant emphasis on evidence-based care processes, and we do it because it helps us get the best results for our patients. We're constantly working to improve our processes and striving to provide excellent care."
The ratings are based on patient care data reported to The Joint Commission during the 2012 calendar year. Only a third of all Joint Commission-accredited hospitals reporting data for 2012 were named Top Performer on Key Quality Measures.
Each accountability measure represents evidence-based practice—for example, giving aspirin at arrival for heart attack patients, vaccinating high risk patients to prevent pneumonia and giving antibiotics one hour before surgery to prevent infections.
"To be named a Top Performer by the Joint Commission last year was a great honor," said Noel Cervino, UM Charles Regional's President and CEO. "To do it two years in a row is a testament to the diligence and dedication of our staff. It tells our community that this hospital is committed to providing safe, effective, high quality care and positive outcomes for our patients."
Louis Jenkins, Chairman of the UM Charles Regional Board of Directors, added: "Through our affiliation with the University of Maryland, the Board made a major commitment to assuring that quality healthcare is provided to all the citizens of Charles County. This Top Performer award from The Joint Commission is another great example of how that commitment is being met."
In addition to being included in today's release of The Joint Commission's "Improving America's Hospitals" annual report, UM Charles Regional will be recognized on The Joint Commission's Quality Check website (www.qualitycheck.org). The Top Performer program will be featured on the December issues of The Joint Commission Perspectives and The Source.
Did you know connecting with social support improves the quality of life for people facing COPD?
In honor of COPD Awareness Month, the American Lung Association, with support from UM Charles Regional Medical Center, is hosting a special webcast for patients and caregivers facing COPD on Tuesday, November 19 from 3pm-4pm in the Café Annex.
The importance of connecting with social support with those facing the disease will be discussed and participants will be walked through Lung Connection, a free online community for individuals who are living with asthma, COPD, lung cancer and other lung diseases, as well as their caregivers.
Register here: www.lung.org/copdwebcast
All participants are encouraged to register individually, even if you are joining a group for the call.
25.8 million.
That's the number of Americans with diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health.
That represents a full 8 percent of the U.S. population and by itself justifies the awareness campaign behind November's National Diabetes Month.
But consider that among those 25.8 million people, 7 million don't yet know they have the disease. Awareness is vital. Diabetes can lead to a wide variety of health complications. If you don't have it, take some time to learn the symptoms. If you or someone you love have already been diagnosed, educate yourselves about all the ways diabetes can be managed, including monitoring glucose levels, staying active and eating healthy.
UM Charles Regional's online "Health eCooking" section includes a wide variety of diabetic-friendly recipes. Try out some of these favorites this month:
On December 4, the CRMC Foundation's Christmas Tree of Life will shine brilliantly at the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center (UM CRMC) and remain illuminated throughout the holiday season. Each sparkling light on the tree honors an individual, living or deceased, who has touched our lives. While many choose to memorialize family and friends, others elect to honor a teacher, mentor, co-worker or a loved one. Some community organizations use this program to acknowledge their club as a whole or to memorialize past members.
Each year, the Foundation selects an individual to serve as the event's Honorary Tree Lighter. This year, the Foundation has named Darlene Breck to light the tree in memory of her husband, Blaine Lessard, who passed away on February 23, 2013. Blaine was a highly valued supporter of the Foundation and helped raise funds in numerous ways. In 2008, Blaine ran for King Rex of the Mardi Gras Ball. He choose to dress as "Elvis, The King" for months leading up to the gala. While dressed as The King, he delivered roses on Valentine's Day and many of his stops included nursing homes and assisted living facilities, hoping to give each recipient a special memory and a warm smile. Blaine also was very active in the Foundation's Annual Autumn Wine Tasting. "He was always building and creating props for the event. I always joked that he had a shed full of elves at home," recalled Lara Castle, Fundraising and Events Manager for the Foundation.
There are three ways to participate: 1) A donation of $15 will secure a single light on the tree in honor or memory of an individual, business or community organization, 2) Donors can make a $50 donation and acknowledge their loved one with a Healing Garden Luminary, 3) Donors can also consider a one time gift of $100 for a special perpetual "angel". The angels acknowledge these lifetime gifts each holiday season and the honorees' name will be acknowledged in the program each and every year.
The Foundation acknowledges the names of all donors and their honorees in a commemorative program. Donors will receive a keepsake acknowledgement card to share with honorees or family and friends of the deceased. The Foundation invites the community to attend the holiday illumination ceremony on Wednesday, December 4 at 5:30pm at the front entrance of the Medical Center on Garrett Avenue in La Plata. Following the ceremony, guests enjoy refreshments and festive holiday music.
To have a light, angel or luminary shine in memory of your loved one(s), please complete and mail the coupon found in the Maryland Independent to CRMC Foundation, P.O. Box 1701, La Plata, MD 20646 or call the Foundation Office at 301-609-4132. The Foundation must receive all gifts no later than November 20 to be included in the commemorative program.
For further event details, call the CRMC Foundation at 301-609-4132.
Gayle A. Cooke dedicated her professional life in the Charles County state's attorney's office to protecting the victims of crime and domestic violence.
In January 2000, domestic violence found her in her private life and she was killed while protecting her daughter from an estranged boyfriend.
University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center is proud to join Zonta of Charles County in sponsoring the 10th annual Zonta RAVE Walk in Cooke's honor on October 26 at the College of Southern Maryland.
The 5K RAVE (Rape and Violence Eradication) Walk raises awareness and raises funds for local nonprofit agencies that serve victims of sexual assault and domestic violence and for teen violence prevention and recovery programs in Charles County. Funds raised will also support the Zonta RAVE Walk Scholarship Fund in Cook's memory at CSM and Gayle's House, the first domestic violence safe house in Charles County.
Advance registration is available online through October 24 or participants can register on the day of the event beginning at 7:30 a.m. at the college's Physical Education Building.

It's October now and everything is turning pink.
We see this more each year as the nation turns its attention to fighting breast cancer. And while all the new and elaborate campaigns to raise awareness are needed and very much welcomed, one of the most important things you can do to combat breast cancer is really quite simple: Get your mammogram.
The University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center is proud to offer screening and diagnostic digital mammography to the women of Southern Maryland.
Among the many benefits of digital mammography:
But perhaps the most reassuring benefit is all of the personal care and more than 50 years of combined mammography experience of our certified mammography technologist's at UM Charles Regional. We strive to keep our patients comfortable and fully informed each step of the way.
It's October now. What better way to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month than by scheduling your mammogram at UM Charles Regional. Call us today at 301-609-4413 to make your appointment.
Let's win this fight.
