Tiger Territory
New for 2013, London Zoo has opened a multi-million pound redevelopment of the tiger enclosure, now called the Tiger Territory. The zoo's two endangered Sumatran tigers now have a massive 2,500 square metres of space, with tall trees to climb and a pool in which to swim, giving visitors the opportunity to see these magnificent creatures behaving as they would in the wild.
The Rainforest at London Zoo
Enter London's only living rainforest with lush vegetation and warm tropical mist and go on a journey high into the treetops to meet a variety of amazing rainforest species including marmosets and tamarins, sloths, and tamandua. Then step out of the light and into the all new "Night Life" area, where you'll discover the bats, rats and nocturnal wonders like the Slender Loris, Armadillos and Potto.
Penguin Beach at London Zoo
The new penguin pool is four times bigger and three times deeper than the South American bird's current one - making a splash with both penguins and visitors. Holding more than 450,000 litres of water the pool includes underwater viewing areas where visitors can see the birds diving for their food and a seating area for the Zoo's famous penguin feeds.
A 'penguin experience area' will give penguin fans the chance to meet the famous birds allowing visitors to get closer than ever before. An interactive game and replica field station will also feature in the exhibit, where visitors can see the fascinating climate change research ZSL's resident penguinologist does in Antarctica.

Golf in a Kingdom: Exploring the Game in Thailand
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Sports
We all know Tiger Woods is part-Thai. But what's the golf scene like in Thailand, the lush and beguiling land where his mother, Kultida, was born? To promote the country's finest courses, a group of premier golf properties and hotels has partnered with a tour operator and the Tourist Authority of Thailand. The consortium, called Golf in a Kingdom: The Thai Golf Experience, can help you map out an itinerary stretching from Chiang Mai, in the cool, mountainous region of the north, to the seascapes of Phuket and Koh Samui in the south. And by "experience," they mean not just golf but also cultural immersions like visits to Buddhist temples, ethnic villages and the teeming city of Bangkok.
Long a popular destination for Asian golfers, Thailand has more than 250 courses. Some of them, alas, are "American-style" layouts that could be in Florida or humdrum spots in the Caribbean. But others, such as Santiburi Samui Country Club (above), set into coconut groves at the foot of a mountain, offer a distinctly Thai adventure. The many charms of Thai golf will be on full display when Bill Clinton arrives this week--with clubs in tow, it's expected--to accompany Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meeting on the island of Phuket. For a deeper sense of golf in Thailand, check out this story (which I played a hand in) from Travel + Leisure Golf.

Better Way To Stay (video) Several years ago we visited Mississippi on our annual 2 weeks vacation. People couldn't believe that was where we chose to go during our limited time off. "Mississippi?" "Why would you want to go there?" Well, my wife and I love to visit Civil War sites and Mississippi just happens to have a few. And we've discovered that those sites take us to wonderful other places that we might have never seen, and this trip was no different. Our first stop was Shiloh National Military Park in Tennessee, then across the border to Corinth, Mississippi where the armies battled for control of the rail lines heading east & west and north & south. We reserved for two nights, but extended to three as there was more to see than we thought. Next, a half day stop at Brices Crossroads National Battlefield site, then on to Tupelo where we picked up the Natchez Trace Parkway, a beautiful drive with many interesting stops along the way. Vicksburg National Military Park was next on our radar. Three days later we were on our way to Grand Gulf military site and Port Gibson, a town that General Grant said was "too beautiful to burn" so he didn't. Finally we reached Natchez, a town filled with many beautiful antebellum homes.
Now here is where I get to the point I want to make. When we travel we like to stay at B&Bs and not because we are B&B owners, but because of what they offer. So when we went to make our reservations, we were disappointed to find that none had any availability. What we didn't know was that the week we chose was Spring Pilgrimage, when many of the homes are open for tours to the public and reservations for rooms are made up to a year ahead of time. So we had to settle for a national chain during our five-day stay. Each morning I looked forward to the same breakfast of cold cereal, watered down OJ, store-bought mini muffins, a soggy waffle with make-believe maple syrup and a banana. The first morning I visited the front desk to inquire about places and interesting things that were "must sees" during our stay The young lady at the desk told me that, well, she wasn't from the area so couldn't help me with my request She "only" worked in Natchez. I did make it a point to go to the desk each morning ,but only to inquire about things she might know. It was always the same person. I was never greeted with a smile or a query about whether I was enjoying my stay, or any other nicety After five days I checked out to a virtual silent transaction, not even a goodbye. I walked away feeling like a stranger.
When I got home, I did write the headquarters of the chain to express my disappointment with my stay. I never got a reply. Who would have thought! Oh, by the way. I did get the information for which I was looking concerning those "must sees". I went to one of the B&Bs that I couldn't get into and the innkeeper was more than happy to assist me with the information and a whole lot more. He even said goodbye and have a nice stay.
This is the kind of hospitality we try to show at Breakfast on the Connecticut even when cyclists and others stop to use our bathroom or non-guests believe, because of our name, we are licensed to serve breakfast to the public who are not staying here.  B&Bs are a better way to stay – you bet!

Once again an incomplete question arises in my mind.Last night WE (husband & wife) were discussing about some sex topics.And My husband told me that Penis Thickness is more important than length. Now as most of the members here are men so they can easily authenticate the same with a valid reason too.

Born again on an Irish island - a feeling of rebirth as I walked the ancient land

Horses on Inis Oirr |
I was reborn on a tiny offshore island off Ireland recently.
Before traveling to Ireland a little over a month ago, I had only left the United States once.
When I was 12-years-old I came to Ireland with my family for a week. At 12, I was still a wide-eyed child. I could turn in any direction and know that what I saw would be new, unknown, and exciting. There was no urgency, or even desire, to understand what I saw, just a raw sense of delight in its novelty.
We expect that sensation to dull as we mature—the more we are exposed to new things the more we get used to the process of observing, understanding, and mentally cataloging the experience.
I knew that traveling to Ireland on my own at the age of 20 would be different from my first visit. How could it not be?
While I expected to be learning new things about Irish history and culture, I did not expect to revert to my twelve-year old self. For not only was I was seeing parts of the world I had never seen before, but I was amazed that I was learning about the world in ways that I never knew I could. I wasn't just seeing different things, I was seeing differently.
During the first few weeks of this trip, I took an Irish Folklore and Ethnography course at UCC. As a class, we took a weekend trip to Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands. It was already dark when got off the ferry so I had to wait until morning to experience the "breathtaking scenery" that I had heard so much about.
The island is home to roughly 300 residents, and a small number of businesses geared towards tourism. After a night of sing-along in the cozy pub, I woke up early the next morning eager to spend the day exploring the island.
I walked the entire island (it is less than 3km around) in the course of the day. Though my fellow folklore students were also exploring the island, I tried my best to experience Inis Oírr alone, to make sure my reactions to the island were solely mine and not altered by the impressions of others.
PHOTOS - 'Get Born' the beauty of Inis Oírr, the Aran Islands, Galway slideshow
I was awed. The rugged landscape and unique flora and fauna were like nothing I had ever seen before. I spent the day traipsing through rocky fields, singing, conversing with horses and cattle, and absorbing the sun while sprawled on rocks by the shore.
I had experienced beauty before that day —babies falling asleep curled in their mother's arms, silent early morning snowfall in Maine, the Cliffs of Moher; but something was different about Inis Oírr. I don't think I'll ever be able to pinpoint the difference. It may have been its Utopian quality. There are no police on the island because as a resident explained, "we don't really need them." I found that the pleasant nature of the local residents perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the island. As I was walking alone a woman pulled over her car, rolled down the window, and after greeting me invited me to a concert that was taking place that night.
So what does this have to do with my young, twelve year-old self? Well, the island is untainted by many of the things that tarnish the modern world —materialism, money (there is no ATM on Inis Oirr), structural development (the island did not get electricity until the 1970's). This pure setting fostered a child-like experience. Not only were the things I experienced on the island new to me, but Inis Oírr made me feel new as well. While I was on Inis Oírr, I felt like a naïve child seeing the world for the first time.
Bob Dylan is one of my favorite writers. Out of all the man's genius lyricism, prose, and poetry—verse that trails on for pages upon pages—his words that I reflect on the most come from his song "Subterranean Homesick Blues." He sings, "Get born." Though I have often meditated upon this phrase, it was not until that day I spent on Inis Oírr that I felt those words pulsing through my body. We must continue to be born. Though periods of stasis are inevitable, one must always leave open the opportunity for rebirth if personal growth is to occur. We often can't foresee when this will happen; at least, I haven't been able to. But when I was exploring Inis Oírr, I looked out over the island and tears came to my eyes (yes, this really happened). I knew that I was being "born." Something happened that made me feel like I had just opened my eyes for the first time.
My visit to Inis Oírr was when I experienced rebirth most vividly, but my time in Ireland has provided me with countless moments that have forced me to be new, and see the world with new eyes. It happens daily. So, like Dylan, I urge everyone to "get born." Though the unknown is often a source of great fear and anxiety, really, it is the moment that we are no longer able to see things as a child sees them that we should fear the most.

I'm glad for you but this was not my feeling in Ireland. However, I had the feeling of finally being "home" in the Highlands of Scotland. Have decided that my Irish were in Ireland due to the 'clearings', whether by force of the British or looking for a better life in Ireland. Wonderful to feel a connection with the Past.

Great article...Ireland is in our DNA. When I return home I feel alive, healthy, full of energy, and at peace. It's ways embraces us with a mothers love. Our people called this place home for centuries and our spirit always knows when it's returned home once agin.

Wow, Mollie, I didn't realize others had as profound an experience as I did in Ireland this summer. My re-birth was in Ballyvaughan, County Clare, where I have spent a month in a cottage right on Galway Bay for the 3 years.
The indescribable joy, peace, excitement for life is hard to explain to others but you did a beautiful job.
Yes, the warm, loving, genuine people, is what makes Ireland. Of course the beauty, fresh air, home-grown produce add to the feeling of wholeness.
I came back to the states, telling people that spending a month in Ballyvaughan was the best thing I could do to heal my mind, body and soul and that I intended to spend more and more time in my home away from home.
I love for my friends and family to join me for short periods of time but I am happiest when I am there by myself, although with all my local friends, I am rarely lonesome.
Thank you so sharing your heart and soul.

Have been to Ireland many times and base myself in Galway and travel out from there. The beautiful mornings and lovely salt air (does wonders for my sinuses) and looking out at the mountains is evocative of what my great-grandmothers must have felt upon leaving the shore they would never see again. My mother felt the same in 1962 when she visited Ireland for the first time.

I know that feeling of 'rebirth' - happened me on a trip to Ireland in mid-80s when I saw Slea Head for the first time and knew I was home and would live in Ireland some day (which I am these last 14 years, no regrets).

CarrickCourt, aye, gaelic is spoken on the island as well as on the mainland, but USA country & western music is neither Irish nor gaelic. How it got there bothers me.

The Aran Islands and its people are something you must experience in person. No pictures or writings do the Islands justice although Mollie comes close. Part of the experience of western Ireland is to put yourself in a frame of mind in an attempt to experience Ireland as our ancestors did while living there in the 1800's. Such a beautiful place and moving experience to be there.

Question by Ruth 17 · Oct 27 '11 at 12:17 PM · potluck pot-luck office peer-pressure
We have a Halloween pot luck coming up and I can't figure out which approach I should take.
Abstaining from the pot luck & eating lunch alone in my office (which is my usual tactic) OR
Signing up to bring a delish paleo dish (I'm thinking a pumpkin chicken chili) and eating ONLY that, while turning down all of the food everyone else worked hard to make and bring (and shaking off the "c'mon, one little bite won't hurt you!")?
The last thing I want to do is hurt anyone's feelings or to appear standoffish or snotty about my food choices. So which is the better approach? Which is less attention-grabbing & perceptible as "rude."
For what it's worth, I'm one in an office of 40-45 people.

Sign up and bring something awesome and also paleo. If you are going to feel bad about not buying in to the dessert scene (cookies/pie) bring a paleo dessert as well.
Nobody is going to notice you're not eating anything specific. If they do tell them you have a wheat allergy.
If you don't make a scene there won't be one. Just enjoy the food and hope someone else brings meat.
I did this a lot when I worked in Tenerife where it's custom to bring food for your co-workers in on your own birthday.
Gluten intolerance - real or otherwise - can be a useful thing.
Still caved in the face of some of the most awesome cakes though... :)Answer by Matt 11 44307 · Oct 27 '11 at 12:39 PM
Don't let paleo make you into some social pariah. You certainly can eat things that appear "paleo" enough, and you're not likely going to suffer any major consequences.
Answer by Kewpie 6916 · Oct 27 '11 at 12:56 PM
You don't want to socially isolate yourself and it is likely with a group that size there will be at least a few other things you can eat. I do think there are some situations where it may be better to just skip it, but that should be the exception--not the rule--and, I really don't think this is one of them. In a group that size, it seems unlikely anyone is going to focus in on what you are eating.
If someone tries to give you something you don't want, just say no thank you (don't give reasons! That just opens it up for discussion). If someone asks if you tried some particular dish you can just something like, "no, but it looks wonderful" then ask them a question about themselves. If there is a hard core food pusher you don't want (or can't afford job-wise) to offend you can always claim you are full, but agree to take some for "later" (then drop it in the trash when convenient).
Answer by Ali 1 2873 · Oct 27 '11 at 05:31 PM
I agree with most of the above comments: be social, eat what you deem acceptable, and politely turn down things you are avoiding.
If all the food pushers start stressing you out, excuse yourself ("I've got a lot of work" or "I need to run an errand before day's end" etc.) and take a break.
A lot of what I've seen lately about paleo/primal is that part of the lifestyle is keeping stress levels down and enjoying life. So, enjoy your coworkers' company, have some yummy (acceptable) food, and bolt when you've had your fill. 8)
Answer by Bread-Eating Beelzebub 56034 · Oct 27 '11 at 08:44 PM
Last time I worked in an office I brought some paleo treats for the potluck and turns out another woman had brought "paleo" gluten-free cookies. I had never met her before (big office), so I not only had something to eat, I got to talk to someone about paleo. I ate mostly those + my stuff + the cheese plate. Oh, and drank some wine. No one really noticed that I wasn't eating the cake.
Answer by andrew 5527 · Oct 27 '11 at 12:28 PM
I'd opt for choice 2. And don't forget, there are bound to be SOME foods brought that you can eat - someone will surely bring a salad, or chicken wings, or ribs or something?
Answer by dzone 509 · Oct 27 '11 at 01:00 PM
Remember the 80/20 rule and enjoy yourself...
Answer by Kate 1 1453 · Oct 27 '11 at 06:59 PM
I have to go to a lot of buffet type social functions, and I find it is never a problem. As others have said, there are always things there you can eat. I recommend filling your plate with safe food. You can even add some non paleo stuff that is not particularly appealing to you, and then never get around to eating it. If someone urges you to try something, decline politely. In the past four years, I have only felt compelled to eat something out of bounds at two social occasions. These were sit down dinners, and I chose to honor the trouble the hosts had gone to and eat a small piece of dessert. I survived :)
Answer by PaleoDel 1363 · Oct 27 '11 at 08:30 PM
There's almost always a salad and crudites. You'll be fine!
Answer by jatx www.jasonmoore.me 748 · Jan 18 '12 at 08:57 PM
Participate! Bring something paleo and delicious.
If it's all junk then make a big plate of it, eat what you brought, and take the rest back to your desk. Who knows you may trip and spill it in a trash can on the way to your desk. Accidents happen.

The MB Technologies Group, Africa's leading value-add distribution group, which includes, A.C.T, Channel Capital and Channel Risk Management, Platinum Micro, Printacom and Tarsus Technologies among its operating companies, has announced a change of distribution strategy for the Samsung printer brand within the group.
This change sees the repositioning and transfer of the Samsung Printer Distribution agreement from Tarsus to A.C.T. This is in line with the group's strategy to position A.C.T. as a value added printer distributor offering customised printing solutions to its resellers. A.C.T. has been a Samsung consumables distributor for the past two years. This change will enable the MB Technologies Group to maximise the full potential of this leading brand in the printer industry.
"A.C.T. will assist our partners to market Samsung's excellent range of business printers by focusing on the competitive total cost of ownership offering" says Gary Pickford, Managing Director at A.C.T.
Samsung currently holds the number one position for Laser Printer in South Africa with annual sales in excess of R350 Million. With a broad, expanding product range and a focused market segmentation strategy, A.C.T. provides Samsung with a great opportunity to grow its business range of printers and multifunction printers into the corporate, government and enterprise market.
"We are delighted to welcome A.C.T. on board as our newest Printer Distributor" says Dennis Brett, Samsung IT/OA Division Head. "A.C.T. is a leading national Printer Consumables Distributor with a reputation for sales and service excellence. With the addition of the Samsung printer brand to their portfolio, they can now offer a complete printing product offering."
A.C.T. officially commenced distributing Samsung Printers from 1 March 2011.

As a gift, two of my dearest friends gave me a shirt with this embroidered message: "Be good to people." If that phrase were on a piece of your clothing, would you be less apt to throw attitude at those around you?
We've all been snappy with the diva at the deli counter, the postal employee with no sense of urgency or the opinionated co-worker preoccupied with personal drama and lunch menus. Drivers will continue to cut you off on the highway. Old ladies and gentlemen will forever squeeze to the front of the airport restroom line. Our daily encounters with frustrated individuals and their roller-coaster moods can be contagious, especially if our own level of wickedness is particularly heightened.
Sometimes the temptation is too great. We become consumed in our own selfish little world, focused on our path to defend and conquer while teaching an important lesson to the individual stealing our parking space. The little jabs we throw in defense of our own vanity come with consequence and others often mirror our negative behavior.
Pause for a moment. The whole concept of "be good to people" (BGTP) is performing simple acts of kindness. It's a movement on the local level, changing the world one person, one kind act at a time. When I wear the BGTP shirt, there's an obligation to be patient and gracious with others. The few extra moments of attention, a friendly word or complement may lighten another's burden. If someone needs help, don't just offer it. Give it.
The harsh reality of being an adult is seeing others, often friends and family, embroiled in real life trials and tribulations. Our parents no longer shelter us from the raw truth of people losing their homes, jobs and often their pride. We witness the strong becoming humble and the confident showing humility. Making ends meet and the dream of providing their children with a college education seems unattainable. Families divorce and loved ones die.
We've all had, or currently have, bad days, slumps and hits to our professional egos. There may very well be a reason for the cold exteriors we sometimes sense from other people.
A friend once said to me, "Your heart is smarter than the mind. Listen to it."
This piece of cloth was not just a gift for me but for others as well. Let's try and consider this concept, "Be good to people," when we experience grimaces from people in our everyday lives. A moment in their shoes may soften our hearts.
Be good to people. It's that simple.
The "be good to people" concept was created by entrepreneur Kris Wittenberg after a rude encounter experienced while running errands. Visit the BGTP Web site for more information.

Moscatel Sherry
Although Moscatel is principally grown by the big companies to add into their commercial Pale Cream blends, it is a fine sweet wine in its own right. Looking like a PX but with a greenish hue, the intense grapey flavour rounds out very well in barrel, darkening with age and becoming quite syrupy with a mellow feel to it.
Moscatel Sherry, Delgado Zuleta
Product Code: VS020
With a fragrant, grapey, Muscat nose this is a very sweet but refreshing wine which is as good with the Christmas pudding as it is sipped ice cold in the summer.

A salsa conga drum suited for the seated drummer.
These fiberglass congas remain virtually unchanged since their introduction in the 60s. The 28" height on this Latin Percussion conga drum is especially comfortable for those drummers who perform while seated. They're the standard conga of salsa players the world over. The hand drum's broad base makes them less prone to accidentally tipping over and also reinforces the low and middle range tones.
Sizzle on the salsa conga when you order today.

Franklin Rolls to 18th Straight Win
Box Score
EL PASO, TX--Franklin had won 17 straight games going into Tuesday's match up with 6-16 Bel Air. The Cougars record sat at 24-2 with their only defeats being one-run contests against perennial state contenders Coppell and Highland Park, both games in which Franklin had the tying run in scoring position in their last at bat.
Tuesday's 85-degree, sunny weather was perfect for baseball and the Cougars pounded out 15 hits in a easy 11-0 victory.
The offense started the game quickly, scoring five runs on six hits in the top of the first inning with 3B Gabe Alvarez and RF Cody Snyder both hitting home runs to left field.
The dimensions were a bit peculiar at Bel Air, with straight away left field being one of the deepest parts of the park, until the wall juts in 25-30 feet in the left-center alley making this field very enticing for right-handed hitters. Both Alvarez and Snyder used that porch, as did
LF Ricky Jacquez
one his 4th inning grand slam that made the score 9-0 and blew the game wide open.
Jacquez playing his first game of the year in the outfield, is also a top prospect on the mound and was named an AFLAC All-American last August. Jacquez's fastball was clocked at 94 at last year's
National Showcase at Tropicana Field
and he is currently
ranked #47 in the 2011 class
The Texas commit, is a slender athlete, standing 5'9 and weighing 160 pounds, but showed an easy swing with bat speed on his grand slam, which was a no-doubter. He hit the ball hard his first two times at-bat, both groundouts to SS, the second of which registered 95 mph off the bat.
"I just tried to stay patient and stay back on the ball," he said after the game when asked about the homer, "at the plate I just try to wait until he makes a mistake and capitalize."
Video footage of Ricardo Jacquez
Franklin pushed across two more runs in the top of the 5th to make 11-0 the final. 1B Cameron Haskins drove home both runs on a line drive single off the right-field wall. Jacquez followed up with a line-drive double of his own, but both men were stranded.
The Cougars offensive explosion overshadowed the stellar pitching of RHP Guillermo Trujillo who struck out nine, allowing only no hits and walking none in 4 innings.
Trujillo worked 83-86 with his fastball during his appearance, flashing four pitches, toggling between his curveball and slider as his out pitch by inning. The junior has a tall athletic build, throwing on a downhill plane from a 3/4 slot and employs a simple, smooth delivery. His slider was at 74-77, with his curve ball checking it at 69-71.
He threw just 51 pitches in the outing, with an impressive 74.5% going for strikes.
Video footage of Guillermo Trujillo
RHP Joseph Camacho came in throw the 5th, striking out the side after a lead-off error, working 83-85 with his fastball from sidearm slot.
Those two pitchers, along with Jacquez, give Franklin a solid trio of arms to compete against tougher competition come playoff time.
"We are fortunate at Franklin to have a deep pitching staff with several arms that can get the job done," said head coach Andy Powers. "Ricky's been a great example to the rest of the staff, pulling them aside and giving them words of advice."
Franklin SS Ray Delgado was another standout performer on the offensive side going 2-3 with a double and scoring two runs. The El Paso CC commit has a tall, long frame with strength, showing solid actions at SS, while being short to the ball with bat speed and strength at the plate.
Jacquez ended the day 2-4 with 5 RBI and was named Perfect Game Road Trip Player of the Game.
Franklin has four regular season games remaining before the Texas State Playoffs begin.
The PG High School Hittin' The Road Tour continues tomorrow in San Antonio for a 7:15 (CT) game as Madison takes on Roosevelt.

5yearscouter, I think that's a great idea but as far as sentimental value, some people would not go for that. I agree with you about Facebook. I work on Facebook all day long (sometimes nights too), the last place I want to go to chat afterwards is yet again, Facebook :P
BadenP, I believe both issues you listed are part of this big fiasco that appeared when they updated. I've noticed it all since day one, I keep seeing that it is on vBulletin's end (and very likely is) but there's gotta be a faster fix for it (and I say that from experience from when I was a moderator for Zynga and modded their forums for two years.) Every time we'd have an like this, our tech people had it sorted in no time.

Debugging and Suggestions for new SCOUTER.com

This is a sticky topic.
I'm going to echo the calls here to dump vBulletin 5 and either try vBulletin 4 (which I believe Terry got with the vB5 beta), or try a different software entirely.
Do any of the users here have experience with other packages that can give recommendations to Terry? Has anyone any experience with migrating a vBulletin site to one of these packages? How about rolling a vB5 site back to vB4 (does vBulletin provide support for that? Or do they just say sorry, restore to the backup)?
Unfortunately, I have no experience with vBulletin or other forum software as anything other than a user.
Remember, this is a labor of love by Terry, and I think we should give him any help we can.
TSS_Chris commented04-05-2013, 08:24 AMEditing a comment@Rick & @Terry: I just Googled "vBulletin issues", and there are pages of complaints about vBulletin since their buyout several years ago. It appears that the first release by the new owners, vB 4, is also really buggy. The original owners have gone on to form XenForo because of these issues. There is also a decent discussion of different alternatives at Webmasters.SE of other alternatives.
A update from Terry about what he's tried and what he's beating his head against the wall over, and what we could do to help would go a long ways toward getting him the help he needs. But the quiet is deafening.
It seems clear Terry (or someone else) restored from a backup so a couple weeks of posts are now gone. I'd mentioned here that vBulletin has screwed the pooch with this release for sure. It seems many of these issues existed in beta several months ago and haven't gotten fixed yet so I wouldn't look for a solution from the vendor anytime soon. No, they don't support downgrading. Your only option is restoring from a backup using the old version. I assume Terry went direct from whatever he was using to vB5 so here we are. From my quick searching on the vB support forums, it didn't seem like anyone had written any converters to move to a different forum platform, but I didn't check other vendors to if someone there had done so. Hmmm... let me go check phpBB, which is what I use.... Nope, there is a converter for vB3 or vB4 but not the newly released vB5, which is quite different.
Personally, I'd go back to the pre-change backup, lose all the posts since then (early Feb?), and start all over with a different product.

Actually the bad software has kept the volume of posts down, so we wouldn't be loosing that much.

I am using Firefox.
Individual threads in the forum also appear bugged. I can see on the main forum that the latest post is from 3/17/2013 by Larry Green:
But when I click the link to the thread, it is only 1 page long and the last post displayed is from 2011:
I've never understood your choice of forum software (or USSSP's, which is even worse). There are great free forum softwares that are ready-to-go; I use SMF for gaming clans, and I've never once in 4 years needed to de-bug anything. Almost every big forum I visit uses Invision's pay forum (IPB), which is excellent. The only positive about this upgrade has been that after 4 years of failed attempts (and ignored emails) with your old version, I was finally able to register an account with this revamp.
Too bad.
This used to be a fun website to use.
Since it has been "improved" it is slow, inflexible and obnoxious to use.
That's my experience anyway.
I learned SO much over the years from this forum. I doubt if I would have continued using it after the first time if it was as difficult as it is now. I check in every so often to see if it has improved. I hope it can be resolved to make it easier to use, especially for all of the new scouters.
I still cannot believe we cannot even get a comment from Terry about the forum sitiuation after almost THREE MONTHS of this crap. What was once an outstanding forum has become a joke. I miss the give and take between some very knowledgeable scouters wh, while never meeting, have become internet friends. It's time to get a response from the forum owners already!
All I can tell you Is I emailed Terry a few days ago.
He replied with: " I've engaged a new vendor, and hope this is finally resolved this week."
I trust Terry to get the issue resolved.
Eagle90 The give and take still continues.
I can't be the only one... Something is seriously wrong in Scouter.com land. The forums aren't showing consecutive threads. New posts aren't showing up. It's extremely difficult to follow the conversation threads because of the way the posts are (or are not) being displayed. Forum software is slow, slow, slow. Yeah, I know, most everybody already knows this. Whatever we're trying to do with the forum software, well, it ain't working. In the spirit of offering a suggestion instead of just griping about it, is there a default setup that we could use? It would be nice if the forum here worked in a reasonably similar manner to the other 10 billion forums out there on the internet...
I don't mean to sound as bad as this is gonna come out, but Scouter.com could be a fantastic resource for Scouters... it's just way too complex, hard to use, or has growing pains. Coupled with the registration problems that have existed forever (which may have been solved - donno, it took me over two years to register), it's just not working. I wonder how many people just throw up their hands and go elsewhere?
This is really making me crazy. I see posts on the forum page from yesterday, but when I go to the page, the last discussion was in February.
TSS_Chris commented04-19-2013, 07:25 AMEditing a commentKahuna: You can (somewhat reliably) get to these using the "Latest Posts" button at the top left of the page. There are definitely some serious issues in this version of the vBulletin software. I can't understand how a vendor can release a paid piece of software like this that doesn't properly paginate posts. -
packsaddle commented04-19-2013, 09:43 AMEditing a commentThere is also an option under the 'Filter' pull-down for 'today' that will give everything that's been posted in that thread for the last 24 hours. I sympathize with some of the comments. Some of the features don't seem to work well...or not at all. But I also understand that in my case, at least, I'm still kind of 'low' on the learning curve. So as I learn more navigation skills, and as Terry seems to be working out some of the bugs, albeit slowly, the site has improved noticeably.
It's Monday... Just checking in to see if anything has changed.... Nope.
See you next Monday.
Sentinel947 commented04-22-2013, 01:58 PMEditing a commentI emailed Terry again for another update. Haven't heard back from him yet. I'll post here if and when I hear from him.
Yours in Scouting,
Here's hoping for a change really soon! Good luck Terry!

Rosacea Sure Cure
Treat the Cause, Not the Symptoms
AcnEase Provides Clinically Proven Rosacea Relief
AcnEase® will successfully help most Rosacea sufferers to control both external and internal symptoms of Rosacea. AcnEase works by restoring an internal balance rather than targeting individual symptoms. This approach results in high rate of success among Rosacea sufferers around the world. We're confident that AcnEase will help to improve your Rosacea condition, so we offer a money back guarantee!
What is skin Rosacea?
Rosacea is a facial rash that occurs in middle-aged men and women. Approximately 13 million people in the United States have Rosacea. The cause of Rosacea is unknown, but it affects people mainly in their 30s and 40s, especially those with fair skin, blue eyes, and of Celtic origin. Famous individuals with Rosacea include W.C. Fields, Rembrandt, and President Bill Clinton.
Rosacea used to be called "acne rosacea," but it's quite different from acne. The red spots and pustules are dome-shaped rather than pointed and there are no blackheads, whiteheads, deep cysts, or lumps. Sometimes the affected skin is swollen and hot. Rosacea affects the cheeks, nose and forehead rarely the trunk and upper limbs. Facial creams or oils and topical steroids may aggravate Rosacea. In fact, Rosacea sufferers should avoid anything that may cause skin irritation.
Stages of Rosacea
- Redness: The cheeks or forehead appear to have a flush or sunburn. The redness is caused by dilation of the blood vessels in the skin, which allow more blood to flow and pool under the surface of the skin.
- Pimples: Pimples may appear on the face. The types of pimples seen in people with Rosacea differ from acne, which are characterized by blackheads or whiteheads (comedones). In Rosacea, the pimples appear as small red and solid (papules) or pus-filled (pustules). A characteristic symptom of Rosacea is thin redlines on the face which are called telangiectasia. These redlines are the dilated blood vessels that become distended under the surface of the skin. During the early stages of Rosacea the telangiectasia is obscured by the red color or flushing of the cheeks, once the redness disappears the red lines become more apparent. When Rosacea is left untreated some people, mostly men, may eventually get small knobby bumps on the nose called rhinophyma.
- Treatment: The earlier you intervene in Rosacea symptoms, the easier they are to control. AcnEase has been known to reduce or even completely eliminate Rosacea symptoms for many patients. After the basic course of treatment that can take up from 2 weeks to 2 months, a small maintenance dose of 2-3 tablets twice a day may be recommended to keep the symptoms in check. When initial flare-ups are contained, some patients may even use AcnEase intermittently only when symptoms get aggravated.

RituOil is the official hair oil used on set at the Treats! Magazine photo-shoot
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Treats! Magazine has just released their sixth issue featuring the Blurred Lines singer, Robin Thicke. Uberliss RituOil was selected as the official hair oil used by the talented stylist, Sheenon, on the beautiful Treats! models.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131008/CG93371)
"Working with Treats! was a no brainer for us, since the hair is an essential component of the human body, which is what Steve Shaw and Treats! tastefully glorify in each issue. The fashion and hair world can get overly caught up with showcasing recycled styles and designs, so when Treats! presented the opportunity, we felt it was a great way to try something different," said Uberliss President Hasan Syed.
Blurred Lines is known for being this summer's national anthem, as well as having a controversial music video. Thicke admits that Treats! Magazine was the inspiration behind the risque video. He even cast Treats! covergirl, Emily Ratajowski, to be his main lead in Blurred Lines. Thicke decided to give back to Treats! and shot a scintillating cover spread for the magazine at Smudge Studios in Los Angeles, California.
Uberliss was there to ensure the Treats! girls had only soft, silky, & smooth hair as they worked their magic on set with Robin Thicke. You can watch behind the scenes videos on the Uberliss blog at http://uberliss.blogspot.com/
Photos and more from the photoshoot can be found on the Treats! Magazine website at http://treatsmagazine.com.

About Uberliss
Uberliss is a three step smoothing system designed to straighten frizzy and wavy hair textures. Formulated with an exclusive Triple Blend of Keratin, Cysteine, and Buriti extracts, the formaldehyde-free system guarantees smooth, shiny, silky, and soft hair. Launched in February of 2011 in Brazil, Uberliss, a Salon Commodities brand, is quickly growing into a favorite of professional hair stylists worldwide.

For those of you that already know and may be anticipating the release, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs comes out tomorrow. In the spirit of the release and my interest, I am willing to GM a game involving that universe. I will play the part of narrator and control any NPCs. You (the players) will create a diverse cast that will explore the secrets of the Machine and uncover the mystery. This will be my interpretation of what I've seen so far and will take creative liberties with the story.
For those of you that don't know, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a horror game based around the end of the Victorian Era. Electricity is found inside the houses of the wealthy, but candles and gas lanterns are common place. You and the other players will be connected with the inventor of the Machine for Pigs, which will draw you into the same fate as him. This brings us to characters.
What I expect is that every character will have known about the Machine or had close ties to the inventor (some may have even participated in the creation). Those that have participated in the creation will be informed of my designs for it but will not get the whole picture. As a character, your goal is to survive, escape, and if possible stop the Machine and it's creation. The Swine.
Short and brief but hopefully to the point. I'll flesh more information depending upon interest and whatnot. Feel free to ask questions or even offer input if you got a good idea.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio's top public schools official says no district received all A's on Ohio's new A-F report cards, and none received all F's.
Superintendent Richard Ross told reporters ahead of Thursday's release of the first round of new scores that districts instead fell at all points on the scale. The 2013 report cards rate schools and buildings in the first nine of 18 new performance criteria. Districts and buildings won't receive overall letter grades until 2015.
Ohio Department of Education spokesman John Charlton noted that the state incorrectly applied the new grading formula to around 85 districts statewide. The error involved the use of the grades of exchange students. The East Guernsey Schools were among the schools affected by the error. Corrected data will be released next week.
The Ohio Department of Education released the data on an interactive state website. Aggregate state results weren't immediately available.
The revamped system replaces the six-tier assessment system that featured such labels as "Excellent" and "Continuous Improvement."

2013 Compendium
Animal Model Facilitates Breakthrough Research Against Viruses
- Categorized in: June 2010
Scientists published a paper last month on the development of an animal model that showed the same disease signs that humans do when exposed to the Nipah virus.
Nipah and Hendra viruses, which are closely related, are found in Pteropid fruit bats (flying foxes) and are capable of causing illness and death in both domestic animals and humans.
In experiments carried out in a high-level security and safety facility at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), researchers demonstrated that when African Green Monkeys were exposed to the Nipah virus they induced disease signs that were essentially identical to those observed in people when infected by this deadly virus. This finding is important because it provides a needed platform for the evaluation and licensure of either passive and active immunization or therapeutic strategies for human use, according to the study.
A collaborative research team from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories Institute, the Department of Microbiology at Boston University School of Medicine, and USAMRIID released the findings on the animal model in a study last month, Development of an Acute and Highly Pathogenic Nonhuman Primate Model of Nipah Virus Infection. The full study is available at: http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0010690.
The experiments were supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Nipah and Hendra
The natural reservoir for Hendra virus is thought to be flying foxes (bats of the genus Pteropus) found in Queensland, Australia. The Hendra virus typically infects horses, and humans can contract the virus from horses. Deaths in Australia have been reported over the years of people who contracted the virus from infected horses.
Bats of the genus Pteropus are also a source for the Nipah virus. Nipah virus was first recognized in Malaysia and Singapore in 1998-99 when the virus spilled over from a bat reservoir into pig farms, further spreading the virus to pigs and humans.
One concern is that these viruses could be used as potential bioterror agents aimed at harming livestock and humans. "Nipah in particular is as much of a concern as a potential bioterror agent as Ebola is, in terms of the pathogenesis of the virus," said study corresponding author Christopher C Broder, PhD, USU professor of microbiology.
There are currently no licensed and approved vaccines or therapeutics for prevention and treatment of disease caused by these viruses. However, Broder said that the African Green Monkey model is facilitating their work in developing therapeutics and vaccines. "We are now at the stage where we are able to test our antibody therapeutics, our post exposure therapeutics as well as our vaccine candidates, and those studies are ongoing now."
In addition to the work in developing human products, the team is also working with Australian researchers who are interested in a vaccine to protect horses from the Hendra virus.
Broder explained that the development of the African Green Monkey model is an important step in facilitating eventual FDA approval for Nipah and Hendra therapeutics and vaccines for humans, since researchers will have to have evaluation data from at least two different animal model systems. The researchers have already reported evidence that a human monoclonal antibody therapy against Nipah virus could be given following lethal infection in a ferret model of Nipah virus and have demonstrated that a protein component of the virus can also serve as a successful vaccine. "What we want to do now that we have this animal model is to show that we can do the same thing that we did in the ferret."

Maybe you done this- you've searched on Google – found a likely website – clicked on it to find it is junk or poor quality. What do you do – click back to the search list and start again no doubt.
The degree of junkiness determines how quickly you click back and whether you click on any links or recommendations on the page.
It is a bit like the trust you put in different people's recommendations. Some people you value their opinion highly others not so. So when you are creating any content it needs to be quality content if it is going to be any use.
Some of the tactics we recommend call for you create content on websites other than your own. When you are doing this you could spend the minimum of time to create this content but it will not perform very well for you. It doesn't have to be perfect – good enough is good enough.
Lets give you one example.
One very useful tactic is commenting on other websites where they allow it. You could comment something like "I love your site it was so cool." or you could read the page and make a useful comment. In this case someone will be approving the comments so junk is going to be history. But if it does get through no one is going to take any notice of it!
So don't write anything that you are not proud to put your name to.
