Current Record: GettingStarted:customizingCustomizing Field labels, descriptions, and widgets[Permalink]Customizing Field labels, descriptions, and widgetsUsing simple INI configuration files, you can customize the look and feel of your application. You can change widgets, labels, field descriptions, and more. In the previous 2 sections we learned how to create a simple application by desiging a database and then installing the basic directory structure to make our application operational. Now it is time to "decorate" the application a little bit. Decoration occurs by way of simple configuration files that are placed in strategic locations in the application. We can customize such things as:
Table Configuration DirectoriesYou will recall, that when we used the 'makesite' script to generate the directory structure for our web application, it created a directory named 'tables', with subdirectories named after each of the tables in our database. The directory structure of the application looked like: The 'tables/Program' and 'tables/Course' are refered to as "table configuration directories" . All of the configuration files a table in a Xataface application are stored in its associated table configuration directory. For example all configuration files for the 'Program' table are located in the 'tables/Program' directory. There are 4 main files that are generally contained in a table's configuration directory:
Customizing Labels and DescriptionsWe will start off by adding custom labels and descriptions to the 'Program' table of our 'FacultyOfWidgetry' application. This sort of customization settings are placed in a file named 'fields.ini' inside the table's configuration directory.
Notice how the label for the "ProgramName" now says "Program Name" (note the space between "Program" and "Name"). And its description matches the description specified in the fields.ini file. The widget:label and widget:description attributes can be defined for any field in any table of the application. Using different widgetsIf no widgets are defined in the fields.ini file, a Xataface application will make a best guess at the type of widget that should be used to edit the value in a field. In general, the widgets used by default are as follows:
You can change the widget that is used to edit a field by specifying a "widget:type" attribute for the field in the fields.ini file. For more information about the available widgets, see widget:type. Example: Using HTML Editor to edit the HTMLOutline fieldClearly the HTMLOutline field in the Program table is intended to store HTML content. By default our application only provides a text area to do the editing so the user is expected to enter the HTML markup by hand. It would be much better to provide the user with a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) HTML editor widget. That is exactly what we are going to do. We will add a section to the fields.ini file so that it now looks like:
Now refresh the Xataface application in your web browser and look at the edit form for a record of the Program table: As you can see, the HTMLOutline field now has an HTML Editor widget for editing. Most users will find this much nicer to work with than a normal text area. Xataface uses FCKEditor for its html editor widget. There are a number of widgets that can be specified in the widget:type parameter:
Changing HTML attributes of widgetsSometimes you may want even finer grained control of your widgets' appearance than to just specify the type, label, and desription. Perhaps you want to make a text field 50 characters wide, or to set the CSS class of the html element. This can be done using the 'widget:atts:' parameter for a field. A short example is the easiest way to explain how this works. Modify the fields.ini for the Program table so it looks like:
We have added 2 lines:
What this does is add the html attributes size="50" and style="font-size: 24pt; font-family: Apple Chancery" to the html text field that is used to edit the ProgramName field. Look at the results: The HTML tag for the text field now looks like:
In fact you can add arbitrary attributes to any of the fields using the same convention. Some useful examples are:
You can even use javascript calls in here if you like:
Download source filesDownload the source files for this application as a tar.gz archive These source files reflect the state of the application at the current point of the tutorial. As changes are made to the application in later sections, downloads of those versions are made available for download also. SummaryIn this section we learned how to change the labels, descriptions, and widgets for fields. We also learned how to add HTML attributes to the widgets to achieve very fine-grained control over the display of our forms. blog comments powered by Disqus |

OTTAWA, Oct. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - From Syria to Sudan's refugee camps, natural disasters in Haiti and Pakistan, and famines from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa, conflicts and natural disasters of the last several decades have pushed the global humanitarian system to the limits of its capacity. To meet these challenges, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Humanitarian Coalition have joined forces to host the first Canadian Humanitarian Conference in Ottawa, on October 30th, 2013. The conference will showcase innovative research and draw on the latest thinking from experts in the field, and will provide a venue for debate on Canadian humanitarian responses.
The conference will focus on the following:
"Our Government is working to strengthen our collaboration with partners and improve our response mechanisms to better provide humanitarian assistance to people in need," said the Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of International Development and La Francophonie. "Humanitarian workers from Canada and around the world put their lives on the line to help those in need, and we will continue to be a strong voice calling for full, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian organizations."
"We must understand what policies and practices build resilience to both manmade and natural disasters, particularly in contexts of extreme vulnerability," said IDRC President Jean Lebel. "By gathering Canadian humanitarian experts who know the issues and have faced these questions first-hand, we aim to identify what works best."
"This conference will address issues that all humanitarians face, and give them an opportunity to share lessons learned, compare expertise, and hopefully foster greater collaboration going forward," said Humanitarian Coalition Executive Director Nicolas Moyer. "It is only by coming together that we can leverage the diversity and strengths of Canada's humanitarian actors to help more vulnerable communities and save more lives."
More than 100 researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will gather at Canada's IDRC to share knowledge and experiences on the most pressing challenges and promising opportunities facing the humanitarian community today.
The conference is closed, but the media and the public are invited to attend The Future of Humanitarian Response, a public event from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at which three of Canada's leading experts from Doctors Without Borders, Oxfam-Québec, and the Canadian Research Institute on Crisis and Aid will discuss the future of humanitarian response. The discussion will be moderated by David Common, host of CBC Radio's World Report and Correspondent with CBC News.
Journalists and the public can join the conversation through Twitter (#HumConf2013).

Red Velvet Marshmallows
There are generally only two times of the year that I really care about marshmallows. The first is the holiday season - not only do I love making festive, seasonal marshmallows to gift to others, but it's really fun to throw a ton of them in a big mug of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. I'm also a huge fan of marshmallows in the summer months, mainly because they're an important component in one of my favorite desserts - s'mores! We've already made s'mores a few times this year, using either our grill or one of the burners on our gas stove to toast the marshmallows. I usually just use store-bought marshmallows for our s'mores, but occasionally it's fun to make them from scratch. They're definitely one of those things I would never have guessed you could make at home, but they really are very doable.
A few weeks ago I was browsing the cookbooks at my library and came across one devoted solely to marshmallows, aptly titled Marshmallow Madness. I couldn't help but bring it home after quickly flipping through and seeing recipes for, among others, key lime pie marshmallows, margarita marshmallows, and even maple-bacon marshmallows. There are going to be some gourmet s'mores happening here before long :)
I seriously fretted over what to try first, but I kept coming back to these red velvet marshmallows (there's also a yellow birthday cake version in the book!). I adore all things cake batter flavored so I couldn't resist. They're easy to make too! You start with the classic plain marshmallow recipe and simply fold red velvet cake mix and some sprinkles in at the very end. I loved the vibrant pinkish-red color of the marshmallows after they'd set up, and though I wish the red velvet flavor had been more prominent, these were still a hit, especially among the kids I shared them with!
Red Velvet Marshmallows
from Marshmallow Madness by Shauna Sever
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup cornstarch
4 1/2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup, divided
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup red velvet cake mix
2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles (optional)
1/2 cup coating
To make the coating, sift the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch into a large bowl. This recipe makes more than you'll need for 1 batch of marshmallows - you can either scale back (you only need about 1/2 cup total for this recipe) or make a full batch and store the leftovers in an airtight container for the next time you make marshmallows.
Spray an 8x8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
To make the marshmallows: In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin and cold water. Set aside to soften for at least 5 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, 1/4 cup of the corn syrup, the water and salt. Set the pan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 240 F on an instant-read thermometer. Meanwhile, add the remaining 1/4 cup corn syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Microwave the softened gelatin for about 30 seconds, or until it is completely melted, then add to the mixer bowl with the corn syrup. Turn the mixer on low and let it run until the sugar syrup comes to temperature.
When the syrup reaches 240 F, slowly pour it down the side of the mixer bowl (the mixer should still be on low). Increase the mixer to medium speed and continue beating for 5 minutes, then increase again - this time to medium-high - and beat for about 5 more minutes. Add the vanilla and beat on high for 1 more minute. You'll know the marshmallow is ready when it's opaque and fluffy. Do not overbeat the marshmallow or it will be nearly impossible to fold in the cake mix.
(You want to work quickly on these next few steps, or the marshmallow will start to set before you can incorporate the cake mix and get it in the pan.) Sift half of the cake mix over the marshmallow and gently fold to incorporate with a rubber spatula. Repeat with the second half of the cake mix. Fold in the sprinkles. Pour the marshmallow into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer the best you can.
Sift the coating evenly over the top (I didn't use it all) and set the marshmallows aside in a cool, dry place for at least 6 hours so they can set.
Turn the marshmallows out onto a work surface that's been dusted with some of the coating mixture. Cut the marshmallows into pieces using a knife or cookie cutter. Dip the sticky edges in the coating mixture.
Makes about 2 dozen marshmallows

Wacky! I never would have thought of red velvet as a flavoring for marshmallows. I also hadn't considered my gas stove as a way to toast marshmallows--I'm definitely going to try that ASAP! =)

These look so delicious! But I'm a little hesitant. I tried making marshmallows once and it turned into pint cement. It took about 45 minutes and a TON of hot water to clean my poor mixer bowl and free the whisk attachment. :( But these do look really good, so maybe I'll give it another go someday.

Checking in without there being a front desk is a but complicated. Instructions on where to find the main office of the complex and the check in process after hours would be helpful. There was no A/C, but if you are busy and out all day doing stuff, it cools down plenty at night.Genuine Expedia guest review
The unit was dated..could use some updating. The upstairs bedroom was VERY HOT.. We did not use it at all. Checking into the room was a little confusing.. There was a note that gave us clues on how to open a locker that would lead us to our room???? It is because we arrived at the hotel at 3:45 pm (which apparently is after hours)... Anyhow, overall […] we were satisfied with the unit. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice place but needs updating"
The seting is exceptional with stunning views of Hanalae Bay and and the Napali Coast. The size and configuration of the unit was fiune but the interior was very dated. This may be more of an issue with that unit and not the property. It looked like there were a number of niceloy furnished units. The Castle staff person in the office was great.Genuine Expedia guest review
"good location, sunsets."
This is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo. Plenty of room. No hotel amenities. It's very dated and sparse but has everything you need for two couples or a family. Would be nice if they provided beach towels.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Panoramic view of paradise from couch or lanai"
The view was spectacular and it was great to have a full kitchen. The location was excellent for walking to the beach or the St Regis for meals - the brunch there is killer. The only improvement I could recommend is a later of foam on the bed. I like a firm mattress, but a topper would have improved it 100%.Genuine Expedia guest review
""Great resort for Whale watching""
Jan 11, 2013 thru Jan 23, 2013, the oceanfront unit we stayed in had a prefect view of the ocean, which we totally enjoyed. The unit is in need of a major upgrade the furniture is the original stuff right out of the 70's. Although, this was our second visit for thirteen days and we stayed at the same Condo because of the prefect view.

This was actually not a hotel, but a 2br/2ba condo located in a residential community in Princeville. It has its own kitchen, as well as a washer and dryer. For the price, we felt that this was a really great place to stay. We were there in the winter time, so the lack of AC was absolutely not an issue. The location is great (there's even a private […] access path leading down to a cool little beach). Would absolutely recommend this place. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good location."
Great location although difficult to find due to the name on the facility and the name of the rental organizaiton. The place shows wear and can use a good cleaning but is comfortable and has good promise.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great View!"
We had a very pleasant stay at Pali Ke Kua. This is private apartments (we understand) and thus not a hotel per say. I suppose each place is different but the overall standard was good even though some things in our place was a bit old. We had a stunning view from our place and that was probably the best in combination with being in the center of all […] activities in and around Princeville. Even though our rating might not show it we can recommend this for a small family or a couple who wants to have abit of self service. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good place for families"
The location was good, right in Princeville. The place was clean and had a garden/mountain view. The pool and hot tub were very nice (remodeled March 2012).Genuine Expedia guest review
"close to our final destination"
Beautiful view and sunset. Nice cooling trade winds through the rooms. A lot of dust covering furniture and counter tops. Otherwise clean and nice linens.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Room with a view"
Accommodations were a 4 but the view was a 5+. The sunsets from the patio were superb. Unit was not fancy but comfortable, bed very comfortable. The night breezes cooled the unit, but be aware there is no A/C for the hot afternoons. Great base for excursions within easy reach. We would go back there in a heartbeat!Genuine Expedia guest review
"beautiful view"
rusty shower curtain. very helpful and knowledgeable staff. beautiful view of the mountains and sunset over the water every day. downstairs gets a bit too much noise from upstairs. private beach and snorkeling area. will seek to stay here in the future in an upstairs room.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Comfortable condo in a great setting"
The condo was fine but nothing special, but the view was spectacular. It was perfectly comfortable, though a little old. The light in the bathroom didn't come on sometimes. But both the bed and the trundle bed were quite comfortable. And again, the ocean view from the room and the Princeville setting were absolutely fantastic.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Worst hotel experience in kauai"
I had high expectations given the online pictures, price and location. This hotel was a big let down. The condo has not seen a remodel since the early 90's (or a complete cleaning for that matter). We purchased an ocean front room but only recieved a partial ocean view. The room was very hot and did not have ac or adequate ventilation. We actually had […] to pull the mattress from the bedroom and lay it on the ground near the patio door get decent air flow. There was no room service during out stay, but at least staff at the front desk were friendly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Paradise Found"
This condo was located in Paradise! We loved all the greenery in Princeville, the gorgeous landscaping at our condo, the short distance (steep walk) to Hideaways Beach, and the cliffs were breathtaking. You do need a car to get around, but with a car you can get to several beautiful beaches nearby, many nice restaurants and shopping quickly. We hated […] to leave, but we'll be back! Aloha.

Response by Castle at Princeville Thank you for your kind remarks. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay while here on Kauai with your family and you got to experience the wonderful views that we have to offer. Hope you and your family enjoyed the rest of your vacation on the eastside of Kauai as well. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Mahalo
"A couple days in Princeville"
Though the buildings remind you of the 70's, the view is AWESOME! We couldn't have gotten a better view of the sunsets and Hannelei Bay. This is supposed to be the wetter part of the island, but we were fortunate and didn't get any rain. The place was comfortable and furnishings were adequate. Don't go for the room interior, go for the views...no one […] can match it! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Castle at Princeville"
There is no service. You need to be very independent. Even we went between 8:00 to 4:00 pm during service hour. There is no one there.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Be Prepared"
Hotels. com needs to inform you about this hotel. First of all it is not a hotel. It is a group of condominiums without handicap accessibility. I had to walk up three stories to get to my unit. Secondly there is no front desk or sign to identify the office and it is not open after 5 pm or on weekends. I finally found my key in a lock box. The condo […] itself was not bad. Just get info before going! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"This is not a hotel - it's a condo"
This is not what they advertise. I thought I was booking a hotel but this is a condo with no hotel service. I did not get my room cleaned on a daily basis (service not provided), my internet and half of the electric outlets in the apartment were not working and there was no one to fix it during the entire stay. I paid for a hotel room and got a cheap […] vacation rental. I would not recommend this to anyone. For the money I paid go to a real hotel or to a vacation rental for half the money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Castle at Princeville Thank you for your feedback about your recent stay with us. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I'm surprised that you weren't aware that we are a condominium property as our website clearly mentions this. We are happy to provide any guests with a daily cleaning service for a small fee if this is requested in advance. I apologize for the issues with the internet service and trust the solution we provided immediately was sufficient. The small electrical issue was resolved as soon as possible as we discussed. Once again, thanks for your feedback. I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Castle at Princeville in the near future. Mahalo
"Great view, shabby accommodation"
The situation in respect of vista was wonderful. The condo was very shabby and not completely clean. Facilities were basic and poor, ancient equipment and, for example, only three mugs. Reception was open only sporadically and this was very inconvenient, especially when trying to check out. The most disappointing place we have stayed in Hawaii having […] lived and worked here for more than two years. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"view for a price"
The view was worth the price. There was no staff on site to help get us internet access or ask questions, however, we figured things out and eventually got internet service.Genuine Expedia guest review
We were looking for a reasonably priced condo for a week stay for a family wedding and found the Castle. It is hard to find, as they still had signs up for the previous owner name, but the condo was clean and beautiful. There is a grocery store nearby and many other conveniences within a few minutes. We decided to get the mountain view and it was AMAZING!! […] The complex was very quiet and felt quite safe. All rooms had ceiling fans and there were vents on every wall. The bathrooms were very spacious and clean. My family was staying all around and all commented on how beautiful our condo was. A great value, and wonderful stay! I look forward to returning! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The photo shows a pool but upon arrival we were told the pool was not for the unit we had booked but for the more expensive units. The location is good but you will need to drive a few miles for beach access since you are on a cliff. We had a lower unit and could hear every step our upstairs neighbor took. We slept with earplugs. Overall our experience […] was average and I think we just expected a little more from the Princeville area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for a family get away"
The condo was good but next time I would specify beach view, mountain view was limited. Make sure you arrive when staff is there during their normal business hours as after hours arrival was difficult. Could use some AC but cooled off at night. Oh my gosh make sure you go to the beach at the end of the highway for great easy snorkling, bring your gear. […] The hike to the falls at that beach was awesome but difficult 8 mile round trip. The area was really cool, and has a hawaiin tropical feel. Not too expensive compared the other islands we stayed on. Check out bubbas for a burger. Pleanty of beaches where you could be all alone. Golf look great but didn't do it. Great sunsets. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"This is NOT a Hotel!!!"
This is not a Hotel!! It is someone's townhouse. I was totally disappointed with the advertising as a "Hotel." Nobody there to check me in (had to find a key in a lockbox), nobody available by phone, no air conditioning (hot weather!), and horribly run down.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Castle at Princeville Condo"
The condo we were placed in was older and slightly dumpy but we really enjoyed our stay. The dining nook had an incredible view of the surrounding mountains and the grounds, which were very spacious and well maintined.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Castle at Princeville Kauai"
My only complaint was when we got delayed and arrived around midnight, we spent the better part of an hour trying to find this hotel, as there was no sign "Castle at Princeville". Once we drove up and down the correct street about 5 times, we tried to go off of the street address only to find that we couldn't find many places that indicated their street […] number on their property. Resorting to stopping in every single complex, we finally stumbled across a closed office with "The castle" on the door, and were able to get our keys through a lock box. Office hours are from 9 to 5, and there is no help in trying to find this place….ALL that aside, the room was great, very comfy, very large, and a great location. We will definitely be back now that we know how to find it!!!! SUGGESTION: PUT A SIGN OUT FRONT!!!! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Castle at Princeville You will be happy to know that, as a result of guest feedback like yours, I have been informed that the association has agreed to put our street number at the entry of the property in August 2011. For future travelers you may use the following directions in helping you find our office. Driving Directions: Our office is located in the Princeville Resort at Pali Ke Kua in the first parking lot on the right. From the Lihu'e Airport, turn right at the stop light exiting the airport. Drive North about 30 miles or approximately 1 hour of driving time. Turn right into Princeville (Do NOT pass the Chevron station). Drive about 1-3/4 miles into Princeville and watch for the "Pali Ke Kua" sign on your right, make that right into the property. Our office is located in the first building on your right. We are open Monday - Friday from 8am - 4pm, Weekends and holidays our hours are limited.
The unit itself was great. I requested a one bedroom mountain view and received two bedrooms, each with a living room area at the cottages (Rm. 101). We had a nice long deck in the back but there was no view. A forest right behind the deck and a lot of mosquitos. We couldn't use the deck because of the mosquitos and were still eaten alive by them. There […] is also no air conditioning and if I knew we had no access to the pool (which was across the road) I wouldn't have booked this condo. We will definitly never stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great relaxing place"
This was wonderful. We were greeted each morning to a gaggle of Nene (the Hawaiian state bird and very endangered species). The condo was just right not fancy but clean and comfortable with an amazing view. You must spring for the ocean view. The beach is a great snorkeling beach, we never had more then 10 people to share it with. The kitchen was fine […] and we were able to make everything we wanted (I might bring a sharp knife next time). The staff was friendly and helpful. We felt safe enough to sleep with the just the screen door on the bottom floor. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Castle at Princeville - Great location"
I stayed in hotel Castle at Princeville - this hotel has a great location. Lots of space in the unit , well equiped kitchen. It was good choice.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Wonderful home away from home"
Princeville is beautiful and the accommodations were beyond our expectations. We booked a 1 bedroom but found a master bedroom with private bath, a living room and kitchen area with two sofas, and an upstairs loft with a twin bed and trundle bed beneath it. Wow! Also the washer and dryer was very handy and we didn't have to pack as many clothes knowing […] it was available to do laundry there. The Castle property was quiet and very beautiful. Next time we will upgrade to an ocean-view room though, because the view is absolutely beautiful! We went in March and saw whales breaching out at sea. One drawback to the Castle is that it sits on a hill above the ocean and you can't just run out the back door to the beach. However, a beautiful beach is just a short walk away and the prices at the Castle made it worthwhile. We loved every minute of our stay. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
""Unreal view and condo!""

Stirling are two points off the top of League 2, despite losing 2-1 at Albion Rovers last weekend, although the leading eight clubs are separated by a mere six points
The Coatbridge men are five points behind the table-topping Blue Toon and head to Balmoor Stadium this weekend in a vital SPFL League Two encounter.
Stirling have beaten Montrose, Albion Rovers, Queen's Park and Berwick Rangers in their last four Forthbank outings but were defeated 2-1 by Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill on Saturday.
The damage was done in the first half when Barry Russell then Chris Dallas punished some slack defending at set-pieces. Jamie Bishop pulled one back on the hour mark with his first goal for the club but Stirling didn't create enough after that to feel hard done by at the end of the day.
THE Blue Toon move into first place courtesy of an impressive win against Jim Duffy's Clyde.
Stirling beat Rovers 2-1 at Forthbank at the end of October but the visitors played much of that match with 10 men and are on a high after stunning Motherwell in the Scottish Cup last weekend.
McMANUS revealed that players and management held a meeting in the wake of the Scottish Cup defeat to Albion Rovers last weekend as they look to get back on track against Celtic.
Albion impressed against their higher-ranked opponents and had a positive return to league duty when they played Berwick Rangers at Forthbank on Tuesday, winning 3-1 to move into second place before they make the short trip to Coatbridge to face Albion Rovers on Saturday
CLIFTONVILLE keeper is a tax inspector by trade but admits it's impossible to tally up just how much Scottish Cup win means to his part-time team-mates.
NEW Douglas Park chiefs are to bill the Fir Park club for repair costs after Well 'Ultras' damaged seats in the main stand at home of their local rivals.
ALBION ROVERS become the first giant killers of this year's tournament as sorry Well fail to live up to billing, allowing their Lanarkshire rivals to shock their way in to the Fifth Round draw.
THE Steelmen are out of the Scottish Cup before Christmas for the second year running as McCall's poor Cup record with The Well continues, sunk by Gary Phillips' late strike.
WE round up some of the best images from Saturday's 4th round William Hill Scottish Cup ties, including a stunning and historic win for Albion Rovers over their near neighbours, Motherwell.
ROVERS gave up home advantage to play Motherwell at New Douglas Park but still managed to seal their first ever win over their Premiership neighbours.
A FORMER Shire star says its no surprise his old team-mates are at the summit in League 2 - although Jim Duffy's Clyde aren't too far behind them.
The youngest club tannoy announcer in Britain is now looking to build a career in officiating matches after passing his exam.
AS Shire picked up a point and went three ahead of Annan at the summit, their rivals were gunned down by Albion Rovers, it was honours even as Queen's Park faced Clyde and Peterhead strolled by Elgin.
On-loan Partick Thistle striker Mark McGuigan scored a second-half winner as Rovers beat Deveronvale in the third round of the William Hill Scottish Cup.
ROUND THREE of the Scottish Cup saw goals aplenty and two junior sides forcing replays.
Win was the perfect boost ahead of their crucial Scottish Cup third-round tie away to Highland League Turriff United, particularly as it came on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Clyde.
SCOTT CHAPLAIN'S early red card left Rovers up against it as Dale Fulton's winner moves Stirling up to second in the table.
Scott Chaplain's red card left Rovers up against it at Forthbank Stadium on Tuesday night in this SPFL League Two encounter.
CLYDE pick up their first back-to-back victories of the season, City's eight game undefeated run ends as a late Albion strike denies Queen's Park their first win of the campaign.
THE Binos are set to play Clyde at Broadwood on Saturday before hosting a match against Coatbridge side Albion Rovers at Forthbank next week.
STIRLING ALBION got back on track with a big home win and, although they travel from far and wide to star for the Black and Whites, Elgin's players are showing plenty of spirit.
THE Ibrox side managed to avoid an encounter with one of Scotland's Junior clubs following today's Third Round draw at Hampden.
WE round up the Scottish Cup second round matches and, after a win over Spartans, Albion are chasing a dream tie against Rangers.
The Coatbridge men are without a domestic cup victory in almost four years and have suffered 11 first-hurdle exits.
Former chairman Frank Meade admitted Rovers were lucky the blaze was spotted by a passing policeman and didn't spread to the stand.
Rovers lost their third home game in a row with this defeat to Peterhead - and have now lost 10 of their last 14 at Cliftonhill.

The spread of the flu across the United States appears to have slowed in some areas, but officials won't know for weeks whether the cases have peaked, the CDC director said Friday.
Twenty-four states and New York City were reporting high levels of flu activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's flu advisory report for December 30 through January 5. That's down from 29 states the previous week, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC.
However, "The only area of the country that's still relatively unaffected ... is the far West Coast," although plenty of cases have been reported there, Dr. Joseph Bresee, chief of the Epidemiology and Prevention Branch of the CDC's Influenza Division, said Friday.
The number of pediatric deaths associated with influenza rose by two, according to the CDC.
There have been 20 deaths of people under the age of 18 since the flu outbreak began. While the CDC does not count the number of adult deaths related to the flu, some states do, and that data suggests dozens have died.
According to the latest CDC activity map, flu levels dropped in several states, particularly in the Southeast, including Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky. In the Northeast, levels in some states have also improved, such as New York, but New York City remains among the areas of high activity.
The number of states reporting widespread activity, however, increased to 47 from 41, according to the CDC's flu advisory report. The only states without widespread activity are California, Hawaii and Mississippi.
"Widespread" means that more than 50% of geographic regions in a state -- counties, for example -- are reporting flu activity. It addresses the spread of the flu, not its severity.
"Bottom line: It's flu season," Frieden told reporters. Flu activity is "elevated" in most of the United States, he said, and "it may be decreasing in some areas, but that's hard to predict ... influenza activity ebbs and flows."
Officials will know in the next couple of weeks whether the season has peaked, he said. "The only thing predictable about the flu is, it's unpredictable."
"... We are into what would classically be described as a flu epidemic," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday.
"It's still on the uptick," he said.
"Remember, once it peaks, you still have a considerable amount of time where there is a lot of flu activity, and right now it may have peaked in some places, but for the most part, it has not yet peaked," Fauci said.
Many reports of emergency rooms and clinics being overwhelmed with patients could be linked to other illnesses, too. This is also a prominent season for many other respiratory viruses, Bresee said. Norovirus, which causes diarrhea and vomiting, has also been circulating.
Although the flu vaccine is far from perfect, it's the best prevention tool we have, Frieden said. You can still get it -- it's better late than never.
The flu vaccine is about 62% effective, Frieden said.
"The 62% -- we'd love it to be better, but it is actually a substantial public health benefit for the population," Bresee said.
Based on vaccine coverage surveys, 37% of Americans had been vaccinated by mid-November, CDC officials said. That's about on track with what was seen at this time last year.
"We have seen a lot of vaccination happening in the last couple of weeks," Bresee said. "I don't know where we'll end up this year."

Shimano Crucial Drop Shot Casting Rods - $149.99 to $159.99
For the anglers that prefer to drop shot with a casting setup, the Shimano Crucial Drop Shot Casting Rods offer top quality components and performance at a reasonable price. New and improved, they now feature lightweight and sensitive IM-10 graphite blanks, which are responsive and powerful for excellent bite detection and fish control. Premium Fuji Alconite Guides also offer increased line control and casting distance, and the Alconite ceramic inserts provide 80% greater compression strength, while remaining 20% lighter than other ceramic inserts. New, custom Shimano Reel Seats also furnish direct access to the rod blank for improved sensitivity, and they fasten below the reel for a sleek, no thread look. Helping to reduce weight even further, a split grip handle configuration and EVA grips also provide all day comfort and balance out each rod. Delivering the intensely designed, technique specific actions and tapers that you need to drop shot effectively, the Shimano Crucial Drop Shot Casting Rods deliver tournament caliber performance.
Additional Features:
- Multi-Purpose Hook Keeper
- Etched Technique Badge Butt Cap
- Limited Lifetime Over-the-Counter Replacement Warranty
Comments: Definitely the right casting rod for drop shotting. Shimano nailed it again. Although it may not feel as light as the previous cork handled model, the new Black Eva does just fine is more visually appealing in my opinion. I got the 6'11" length and it casts a mile with the Core and 8lb test. The tip is just right for shaking the slack. The blank itself is super sensitive and can detect even the slightest taps and ticks. If you're fishing with tungsten sinkers, the feel with transfer up the line and into your rod as best as you've ever felt. It also has plenty of power to control fish. My biggest fish this year an estimated 7 pounder and this rod tamed it without any problems. If you've never drop shotted with a casting outfit, you should give it a try. It just feels so natural.

These shoes have shock-absorbing springs in the soles that relieve the stress and fatigue of running, walking, or standing better than any shoe available. Tests performed at Michigan State University proved that the patented springs returned up to 96% of the energy from each step that would otherwise be lost to the ground. The downward force deflected and dispersed during each impact is recycled to the wearer as propulsive energy, further reducing the strain on the feet, even for casual walkers or those who stand on their feet most of the workday. Unlike the compressed foams and gels used for cushioning on other athletic shoes, these springs will never break down or degrade. The shoes have a full-grain leather upper, with a one-piece outsole of abrasion-resistant carbon rubber. Each shoe contains one spring in the heel and one in the forefoot. Women's Hook-and-Loop Straps. Whole/half sizes 6-11. If in-between sizes, order the next larger size. Medium width. White or Black. (13 oz.)
To ensure a proper fit in our footwear, we encourage you to measure your foot to determine your shoe size and refer to the shoe sizing chart below.

Good shoes

Good support
By Judy
from Corvallis, OR
I go for (brisk) walks around the neighborhood. I had hoped from the description that the shoes would feel 'springy.' They aren't very springy, but they are comfortable walking shoes -- comfortable in the sense that my feet feel well supported. I now always change into them from my regular athletic shoes for these walks. I would recommend them for anyone who walks for exercise or needs to stand for lengths of time. I tried velcro straps for the first time. Much easier than laces, but they do push a little on the front of the ankle. That should get better with time.
These shoes are great!
By Joan
from MD
These shoes have taken so much stress off my knees. Wear them whenever I will do some walking! A bit pricey, but still glad I have them!!
Great to take the pressure of my back.

The best shoes ever
By Martha
from Pearland, TX
Having arthritis in my feet and a joint replacement, these are the only shoes I wear for any length of time. They are the only shoes I consistently buy time after time.
Size not true
By CC
from Arkansas
My foot didn't feel as if it were 'deep enough' into the shoe. Felt as if I would walk right out of it. I just barely wear a size 6. Always wore a 5 until I got about 62. Then my feet fit a size 6. (Doctor said our feet seem longer as we age due to arches gradually falling.) At any rate, I could feel my toes right at the end of this size 6. I would have loved to keep the shoe, but it just didn't fit. Good construction and look, however.

It is interesting because this sport shows how people used exercises like these sports to get stronger so they could be better hunters. The sports are much harder to do than they look. We wrote the directions so that they could be understood by other kids our age. We hope many people will get a chance to know more about the Native Youth Olympics events.

DHAKA: Many of us are afflicted with back pain, which we tend to ignore or pay very little attention to, during the course of a busy day.But you cannot overlook the fact that back pain can make it difficult for you to stand up, sit down or even walk around comfortably. So it`s best you try some of the following natural remedies and get yourself some relief.Increase your intake of Vitamin D - A study looked at the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in 150 people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and found that 93 per cent of patients had vitamin D deficiency! So all people with persistent, non-specific musculoskeletal pain should get themselves screened for vitamin D deficiency.Indulge in some music therapy - Low cost and enjoyable, music has been found to reduce the disability, anxiety, and depression associated with chronic back pain. It has an immediate effect on reducing pain, although the results are not statistically significant.Try some breathing techniques - To reduce pain, try some breathing techniques that make use of the mind-body connection. These techniques integrate body awareness, breathing, movement, and meditation. The best thing about them is that they are safe, free of cost and you can do them at home!Get a soothing massage - The first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a backache is to get a nice massage. Massages may be effective for sub acute and chronic pain. What`s more, they reduce anxiety and depression associated with chronic pain. In fact, massage therapy is the most popular therapy for low back pain during pregnancy.BDST: 1536 HRS, AUG 08, 2012Edited by: Sharmina Islam, Lifestyle Editor
