"Hook with curiosity, hold with suspense. And, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite."
- Yvonne Nelson PerryJoin us June 7 - 12, 2014!
Since 1972, the Santa Barbara Writers Conference has been connecting writers with mentors, agents and editors. Every summer, writers in many genres from around the world gather to participate in a magical week of intensive work focused on story, voice, craft, marketing, and networking with fellow writers and publishing professionals.
The conference has hosted a legacy of America's best writers, including Ray Bradbury, William Styron, Eudora Welty, James Michener, Sue Grafton, Charles M. Schulz, Clive Cussler, Fannie Flagg, Elmore Leonard and T.C. Boyle.
Join us this summer for our 42nd anniversary, June 7 – 12, 2014, and contribute to this on-going literary legacy.
In Memoriam
Barnaby Conrad
(1922 - 2013)
Barnaby Conrad was not only a writer and the founder of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, but also a bullfighter, the American vice-consul in Spain, and a successful painter. He mentored and inspired so many over the years, fashioning wings for writers who flew up the ranks of publishing. Author of more than thirty books, his stories remind us to have fun and be, as Barny was once called by a famous radio DJ, "a wild bastard!" Brave is to be Barnaby Conrad: hitch a ride to Hawaii; jump into the bullring. The stories we'd have! The stories we could write. The stories we'll never forget. A man we will never forget. The late Herb Caen said, "They all loved Barnaby because he loved them with a flame that burned clean, true, and unwavering."

Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are proteins that are present on the outer surface of nearly every cell in the body.
White blood cells contain especially high concentrations of HLA. This is because the HLA molecules help the body's immune system distinguish between self and non-self (foreign or invading) substances. HLA allows the immune cells to recognize the self cells, preventing them from mistakenly attacking and destroying body tissues.
There are many different HLA molecules, and each person is born with a relatively unique set that is passed down from his or her parents. During reproduction, each parent donates one-half of his or her HLA antigens to each offspring. Therefore, it is unlikely that two unrelated people will share the same HLA make-up, although, identical twins may match each other. This is particularly important when healthcare providers are trying to identify good matches for tissue grafts and organ transplants. If donors and recipients are not closely matched, the recipient may identify the donated organ as a foreign substance and attack it. This is called transplant rejection. Conversely, the donated organ may attack the recipient's cells if they are perceived as a foreign substance. This is called graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of genes that provides the instructions for the development of the HLA system. There are three subclasses of the MHC.
Class I MHC molecules are present in any cell that has a nucleus and they include HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-C. These molecules are used by specific white blood cells called suppressor T-cells. After suppressor T-cells internalize antigens (foreign substances like bacteria), they combine parts of the antigens to parts of their Class I molecules. When fragments of the antigen are combined with the MHC molecule, other immune cells are able recognize and destroy the foreign substance.
Class II MHC molecules include HLA-D. These molecules are used by specific white blood cells called helper T-cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells combine parts of the antigen to the class II MHC so that other immune system cells can recognize and destroy the foreign invader.
The MHC class III region provides the genetic instructions for other parts of the immune system, including cytokines, which are chemical messengers that stimulate the immune response.
Some individuals are born with mutations (abnormalities) in the MHC, which can potentially lead to autoimmune and/or inflammatory conditions. Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues because they are incorrectly identified as harmful substances like bacteria or viruses.
For instance, one type of MHC mutation can lead to the development of an HLA molecule called HLA-B27. This molecule is associated with several rheumatic diseases. For example, the HLA-B27 molecule is present in 80-90% of patients who have ankylosing spondylitis (rheumatic disease of the spine) and Reiter's syndrome. Patients who have the HLA-B27 molecule are about 87 times more likely to develop ankylosing spondylitis compared to the general population. Therefore, detecting HLA-B27 may help a healthcare provider diagnose the disease.

Rheumatoid disease
: Researchers discovered the sequence of HLA-B27 in 1985. While researchers estimate that only 1.4-8% of the general population has the molecule, it is prevalent among patients who have rheumatoid diseases, especially ankylosing spondylitis. Although there are six subtypes of HLA-B27, there is no association between one particular subtype and inflammatory disease.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a rheumatic disease of the spine that causes chronic inflammation of the spine and the sacroiliac joints (located in the lower back). More than 90% of patients who have spondylitis have the HLA-B27 molecule.
However, even though most patients with ankylosing spondylitis have the HLA-B27 molecule, it does not mean that everyone who has the gene will develop the disease. In fact, it is estimated that up to 75% of patients who have the gene never develop clinically significant rheumatic symptoms
The HLA-B27 molecule is also present in about 80% of patients who have reactive arthritis. In addition, about 50% of patients who have a combination of peripheral arthritis and either psoriasis (skin disease characterized by red patches of skin covered with white scales) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have the HLA-B27 molecule.
It remains unknown exactly how the HLA-B27 molecule triggers an inflammatory response in the body. It has been suggested that it occurs when an infectious organism that looks similar to HLA-B27 enters the body. In such cases, researchers believe that the immune system cells mistake the HLA-B27 molecule for the infectious agent. As a result, the immune system attacks itself and symptoms of rheumatoid disease occur. It has also been suggested that the HLA-B27 molecules bind to infectious agents. This may cause the immune system to attack itself. A third theory is that the HLA-B27 molecule may be closely linked to a currently unidentified gene that is responsible for triggering the immune response.
Acute anterior uveitis
: About 50-60% of patients who have acute anterior uveitis (AAU) are HLA-B27 positive. Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is an inflammation of the uveal tract that lines the inside of the eye behind the cornea. The incidence of this disease varies according to racial background and nationality. AAU that is associated with the HLA-B27 molecule is most common among Caucasians and least common among African Americans. Symptoms often include severe eye pain, redness near the edge of the iris (colored part of the eye), and extreme sensitivity to light.
While the exact relationship between the HLA-B27 gene and AAU remains unknown, several theories exist. Based on several animal studies, many cases of AAU occur after a patient develops chlamydia or an infection that causes diarrhea. Disease-causing organisms that have shown to cause AAU include
, and
species. These organisms have similar structures to the HLA molecule. As the immune system fights off these organisms, the body may mistake the HLA-B27 molecules for the disease-causing agents. When this occurs, symptoms of AAU may subsequently develop.
Researchers suggest that patients who have the HLA-DR molecule may have an increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders. These disorders occur when the immune mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues because they are incorrectly identified as harmful substances like bacteria or viruses.
The most common autoimmune disorder associated with the HLA-DR molecule is rheumatoid arthritis. This condition causes the joints to become swollen and painful. Without treatment, the pain may make it difficult for the patient to perform normal daily activities such as walking.
The HLA-DR4 gene has also been associated with Lyme disease. Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called
Borrelia burgdorferi
that are transmitted to humans via deer ticks. Lyme disease typically causes joint pain, inflammation, and arthritis.
Patients who have severe cases of Lyme disease and do not respond well to the antibiotic treatment are more likely to have the HLA-DR4 molecule. It has been suggested that once the disease-causing organism moves to the joints, the immune system mistakes the body cells containing the HLA-DR4 molecule for the bacteria. This consequently causes an autoimmune reaction.
Histocompatibility antigen test
A histocompatibility antigen blood test analyzes the HLA proteins on the surface of cells. Certain HLA proteins have been associated with specific disease. For instance, an HLA-B27 positive individual is about 87 times more likely to develop ankylosing spondylitis than someone who does not have the gene. Therefore, the test may help determine if an individual is at risk for certain diseases.
The test is most often used to identify good matches for tissue grafts and organ transplants. To help prevent serious complications, such as graft-versus-host disease or transplant rejection, the potential donor and recipient must be tested to determine whether their HLA molecules are closely matched making them compatible. Each person has unique HLA molecules (except for twins, who have identical molecules). Therefore, this test cannot prevent 100% of complications. However, the test can significantly reduce the number of patients who develop complications after transplantations.

Middle East: US CONSULATE ATTACKED 1 US STATE OFFICER DEAD
State Department officer killed in attack on US Consulate in Libya, following Egyptian protest at US embassy
Published September 11, 2012Associated Press
Protesters angered over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad fired gunshots and burned down the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, killing one American diplomat, witnesses and the State Department said. In Egypt, protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. embassy in Cairo and replaced an American flag with an Islamic banner.
It was the first such assaults on U.S. diplomatic facilities in either country, at a time when both Libya and Egypt are struggling to overcome the turmoil following the ouster of their longtime leaders, Muammar Qaddafi and Hosni Mubarak in uprisings last year.
The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a film ridiculing Muhammad produced by an American in California and being promoted by an extreme anti-Muslim Egyptian Christian campaigner in the United States. Excerpts from the film dubbed into Arabic were posted on YouTube.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton confirmed that one State Department officer had been killed in the protest at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. She strongly condemned the attack and said she had called Libyan President Mohammed el-Megarif "to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya."
Clinton expressed concern that the protests might spread to other countries. She said the U.S. is working with "partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide."
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said in a statement released by the State Department. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind. "
In Benghazi, a large mob stormed the U.S. consulate, with gunmen firing their weapons, said Wanis al-Sharef, an Interior Ministry official in Benghazi. A witness said attackers fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades at the consulate as they clashed with Libyans hired to guard the facility.
Outnumbered by the crowd, Libyan security forces did little to stop them, al-Sharef said.
The crowd overwhelmed the facility and set fire to it, burning most of it and looting the contents, witnesses said.
One American was shot to death and a second was wounded in the hand, al-Sharef said. He did not give further details.
The violence at the consulate lasted for about three hours, but the situation has now quieted down, said another witness.
"I heard nearly 10 explosions and all kinds of weapons. It was a terrifying day," said the witness who refused to give his name because he feared retribution.
Hours before the Benghazi attack, hundreds of mainly ultraconservative Islamist protesters in Egypt marched to the U.S. Embassy in downtown Cairo, gathering outside its walls and chanting against the movie and the U.S. Most of the embassy staff had left the compound earlier because of warnings of the upcoming demonstration.
"Say it, don't fear: Their ambassador must leave," the crowd chanted.
Dozens of protesters then scaled the embassy walls, and several went into the courtyard and took down the American flag from a pole. They brought it back to the crowd outside, which tried to burn it, but failing that tore it apart.
The protesters on the wall then raised on the flagpole a black flag with a Muslim declaration of faith, "There is no god but God and Muhammad is his prophet." The flag, similar to the banner used by al-Qaida, is commonly used by ultraconservatives around the region.
The crowd grew throughout the evening with thousands standing outside the embassy. Dozens of riot police lined up along the embassy walls but did not stop protesters as they continued to climb and stand on the wall - though it appeared no more went into the compound.
The crowd chanted, "Islamic, Islamic. The right of our prophet will not die." Some shouted, "We are all Usama," referring to Al Qaeda leader bin Laden. Young men, some in masks, sprayed graffiti on the walls. Some grumbled that Islamist President Mohammed Morsi had not spoken out about the movie.
A group of women in black veils and robes that left only their eyes exposed chanted, "Worshippers of the Cross, leave the Prophet Muhammad alone."
By midnight, the crowd had dwindled. The U.S. Embassy said on its Twitter account that there will be no visa services on Wednesday because of the protests.
A senior Egyptian security official at the embassy area said authorities allowed the protest because it was "peaceful." When they started climbing the walls, he said he called for more troops, denying that the protesters stormed the embassy. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
The Cairo embassy is in a diplomatic area in Garden City, where the British and Italian embassies are located, only a few blocks away from Tahrir Square, the center of last year's uprising that led to the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. The U.S. Embassy is built like a fortress, with a wall several meters (yards) high. But security has been scaled back in recent months, with several roadblocks leading to the facility removed after legal court cases by residents.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry promised in a statement to provide the necessary security for diplomatic missions and embassies and warned that "such incidents will negatively impact the image of stability in Egypt, which will have consequences on the life of its citizens."
One protester, Hossam Ahmed, said he was among those who entered the embassy compound and replaced the American flag with the black one. He said the group has now removed the black flag from the pole and laid it instead on a ladder on top of the wall.
"This is a very simple reaction to harming our prophet," said another, bearded young protester, Abdel-Hamid Ibrahim.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Egyptian police had removed the demonstrators who entered the embassy grounds.
Muslims find it offensive to depict Muhammad in any fashion, much less in an insulting way. The 2005 publication of 12 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper triggered riots in many Muslim countries.
A 14-minute trailer of the movie that sparked the protests, posted on the website YouTube in an original English version and another dubbed into Egyptian Arabic, depicts Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a madman in an overtly ridiculing way, showing him having sex and calling for massacres.
A YouTube spokesperson said the website would not take down the video at this point. The website's guidelines call for removing videos that include a threat of violence, but not those only expressing opinions. YouTube's practice is not to comment on a specific videos.
"We take great care when we enforce our policies and try to allow as much content as possible while ensuring that our Community Guidelines are followed," the YouTube spokesperson said. "Flagged content that does not violate our Guidelines will remain on the site."
Sam Bacile, an American citizen who said he produced, directed and wrote the two-hour film, said he had not anticipated such a furious reaction.
"I feel sorry for the embassy. I am mad," Bacile said.
Speaking from a telephone with a California number, Bacile said he is Jewish and familiar with the region. Bacile said the film was produced in English and he doesn't know who dubbed it in Arabic. The full film has not been shown yet, he said, and he said he has declined distribution offers for now.
"My plan is to make a series of 200 hours" about the same subject, he said.
Morris Sadek, an Egyptian-born Christian in the U.S. known for his anti-Islam views, told The Associated Press from Washington that he was promoting the video on his website and on certain TV stations, which he did not identify.
Both depicted the film as showing how Coptic Christians are oppressed in Egypt, though it goes well beyond that to ridicule Muhammad - a reflection of their contention that Islam as a religion is inherently oppressive.
"The main problem is I am the first one to put on the screen someone who is (portraying) Muhammad. It makes them mad," Bacile said. "But we have to open the door. After 9/11 everybody should be in front of the judge, even Jesus, even Muhammad."
For several days, Egyptian media have been reporting on the video, playing some excerpts from it and blaming Sadek for it, with ultraconservative clerics going on air to denounce it.
Medhat Klada, a representative of Coptic Christian organizations in Europe, said Sadek's views are not representative of expatriate Copts.
"He is an extremist ... We don't go down this road. He has incited the people (in Egypt) against Copts," he said, speaking from Switzerland. "We refuse any attacks on religions because of a moral position."
But he said he was concerned about the backlash from angry Islamists, saying their protest only promotes the movie. "They don't know dialogue and they think that Islam will be offended from a movie."

Just another country that was screwed out by the imperialists with Gaddafi this was not the case!
Irak is a total hell since the imperialists and now Libya is tasting the imperialist flavor, soon probably Syria will take a bite on it and so on until the imperialist cross the thin red line that will cause their annihilation!

Open WebOS, also known as webOS, is a Linux operating system for smart TVs, and formerly a mobile operating system.[1] Initially developed by Palm, which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard, the operating system was later sold to LG Electronics. Through all iterations of the operating system (Palm, HP and now LG) the official name has been consistently stylized as webOS (uncapitalised).[2][note 1] Palm launched WebOS in January 2009, then called Palm WebOS. Various versions of WebOS have been featured on several devices, including Pre, Pixi, and Veer phones and the HP TouchPad tablet. The latest version, 3.0.5, was released on January 12, 2012. After abandoning the TouchPad and the proposed sale of the HP Personal Systems Group, HP made the platform open source, and it became Open WebOS. Code specific to the existing devices was released as WebOS Community Edition (CE), with support for the existing HP hardware. Open WebOS includes open source libraries designed to target a wider range of hardware.
In February 2013, LG Electronics acquired webOS from HP to enhance their smart TVs.[3] However HP will still hold on to patents underlying WebOS as well as cloud-based services such as the App Catalog.[4] Despite WebOS now being shaped as an OS for smart televisions, LG has not ruled out the possibility of a WebOS smartphone, the original purpose of the OS.[5]
Palm launched WebOS in January 2009 as the successor to Palm OS. The first WebOS device was the original Palm Pre, released by Sprint in June 2009. The Palm Pixi followed. Upgraded "Plus" versions of both Pre and Pixi were released on Verizon and AT&T.
In April 2010, HP acquired Palm; WebOS was described as a key asset and motivation for the purchase. The $1.2 billion acquisition finalized in June. HP indicated its intention to develop the WebOS platform for use in multiple new products, including smartphones, tablet computers, and printers.[6]
In February 2011, HP announced that it would use WebOS as the universal platform for all its devices.[7] However, HP also made the decision[8] that the Palm Pre, Palm Pixi, and the "Plus" revisions would not receive over-the-air updates to WebOS 2.0,[9] despite a previous commitment to an upgrade "in coming months".[10] HP announced several new WebOS devices, including the HP Veer and HP Pre 3 smartphones, running WebOS 2.2, and the HP TouchPad, a tablet computer released in July 2011 that runs WebOS 3.0.
In March 2011, HP announced plans for a version of WebOS by the end of 2011 to run within Windows,[11] and to be installed on all HP desktop and notebook computers in 2012.[12] Neither ever materialized, although work had begun on an x86 port around this time involving a team in Fort Collins, Colorado. Work was scrapped later in the year.
In August 2011, HP announced that it was interested in selling its Personal Systems Group, responsible for all of its consumer PC products, including WebOS, and that WebOS device development and production lines would be halted.[13][14][15] It was unclear whether HP would consider licensing of WebOS software to other manufacturers. When HP reduced the price of the Touchpad to $99, the existing inventory quickly sold out.[16]
The HP Pre 3 was launched in select areas of Europe, and US-based units were available only through unofficial channels as both AT&T and Verizon canceled their orders just prior to delivery after Apotheker's announcement.[17] Notably, these U.S. Pre 3 units, having been released through unofficial channels, lacked both warranties and carried no support obligation from HP; as a result parts are nearly impossible to come by. HP announced that it would continue to issue updates for the HP Veer and HP TouchPad, but these updates have failed to materialize for the former, and the latter saw a final, unofficial release called WebOS CE that contained only open-sourced components of WebOS meant for what remained of the developer community rather than a conventional, user-centric update to the operating system.
In December 2011, HP announced it would release WebOS source code in the near future under an open-source license.[18] In August 2012, HP renamed its WebOS unit as "Gram".[19][20]
As of February 25, 2013 it was announced that HP is licensing WebOS to LG Electronics for use on its web-enabled Smart TVs. LG Electronics is allowed unlimited access to the documentation, source code, developers and related websites.
The Palm Pre, the Palm Pre Plus, the Palm Pixi, and Palm Pixi Plus run WebOS version 1.4.5.[21]
The Pre 2, Pre 3, and the Veer run WebOS version 2.X.X
The HP TouchPad runs WebOS version 3.0.X.
Multitasking Application Interface[edit]
Navigation uses multi-touch gestures on the touchscreen. The interface uses "cards" to manage multitasking and represent apps. The user switches between running applications by a flicking gesture from left and right on the screen. Applications are closed by flicking a "card" up—and "off"—the screen. The application "cards" can be rearranged for organization. In WebOS 2.0 introduced Stacks, where related cards could be "stacked" together.
Over the air (OTA) updates[edit]
The OS could be updated without docking to a PC, instead receiving OS updates over the carrier connection.
Palm referred to integration of information from many sources as "Synergy". Users can sign into multiple email accounts from different providers and integrate all of these sources into a single list. Similar capabilities pull together calendars and also instant messages and SMS text messages from multiple sources.[22]
The notification area is located on the bottom portion of the screen on phones, and on the top status bar area on tablets.
On phones, when a notification comes in, it slides in from the bottom of the screen. Due to the resizable nature of the Mojo and Enyo application frameworks, the app usually resizes itself to allow unhindered use while the notification is displayed. After the notification slides away, it usually remains as an icon. The user can then tap on the icons to expand them. Notifications can then be dismissed (sliding off the screen), acted upon (tapping), or left alone.
By default, data synchronization uses a cloud-based approach rather than using a desktop sync client, but various third-party sync clients are available.[citation needed] The first version of WebOS shipped with the ability to sync with Apple's iTunes software by masquerading as an Apple device, but this feature was disabled by subsequent software updates from Apple.
Third-party applications[edit]
Officially vetted third-party applications are accessible from the device for wireless download by using the App Catalog.[23]
Another source of applications is homebrew software.[24][25] Homebrew applications are not directly supported by HP. Programs used to distribute homebrew WebOS applications include WebOS Quick Install (Java-based for Desktop computers), and Preware (a homebrew WebOS app catalog, which must be sideloaded to install). If software problems do occur after installing homebrew programs, WebOS Doctor (provided by HP) can restore a phone back to factory settings and remove most changes made by homebrew apps and patches.[26]
As WebOS replaced Palm OS, Palm commissioned MotionApps to code and develop an emulator called Classic, to enable backward compatibility to Palm OS applications. This operates with WebOS version 1. PalmOS emulation was discontinued in WebOS version 2.0.[27] MotionApps disengaged from Classic in 2010, citing HP Palm as "disruptive".[28]
Version history[edit]
Underneath the graphical user interface, WebOS has much in common with mainstream Linux distributions. Versions 1.0 to 2.1 use a patched Linux 2.6.24 kernel.[29]
The list of open-source components used by the different releases of WebOS, as well as the source code of and patches applied to each component, is available at the Palm Open Source web page.[29] This page also serves as a reference listing of the versions of WebOS that have been publicly released.
In 2011, Enyo replaced Mojo, released in June 2009, as the software development kit (SDK).[30]
Growth and decline[edit]
WebOS launched 6 June 2009 on the Palm Pre with 18 available applications. The number of apps grew to 30 by 17 June 2009,[31] with 1 million cumulative downloads by 27 June 2009;[32] 30 official and 31 unofficial apps by 13 July 2009;[33] 41 official apps by 25 August 2009;[34] 356 official apps by 7 November 2009[35] 1000 official apps by 1 January 2010;[36] 3000 official apps by 27 July 2010;[37] 4000 official apps 29 September 2010;[38] and 10,002 official apps by 9 December 2011.
Subsequently, the number of available applications has decreased. Developer attrition accelerated in the latter half of 2011 after retail presence ceased. The number of currently maintained applications on the platform, defined as any application that has been updated within the last six months, is unknown.
Many applications have been pulled from the App Catalog, often precipitously. Examples include the apps for The New York Times and Pandora. The number of remaining functional applications is currently unknown. When factoring out abandoned and/or non-functioning applications that remain in the App Catalog at present, the number is projected to be substantially lower.

This is one of the stupidest pieces of legislation that can possibly be proposed in this session! It should die immediately in committee!
More job-killing, anti-business, nonsensical Republican idiocy, this time provided by Representative Franz, who might've missed the memo that we're not only in a fiscal crisis, but an ENERGY one as well. There is no rational reason for this legislation aside from the possibility that the Representative has some nich beach-front property and doesn't want to see a nasty ol' wind turbine from his bay window. Or it's simply brain damage.
get a life,this is a great bill. He does not live on a beachfront by the way.This bill is common sense.
I'm so sorry that Ray Franz is my state representative. This man is stuck in the 1950's. He wants to doom future generations to dirty air and non-renewable or hazardous sources of energy. Offshore wind is one of the greatest resources this state has, and new advances are making it more and more possible to site them far off into the lake, so that they are tiny specks on the horizon. And what alternatives does Franz favor? Nuclear. Thanks, Ray. Thanks a lot. One of the jobs of a legislator is to lead....oh, and it might help to read up on the facts, too.

~ The above? Your [ugly and inappropriate] Leg Photo of the Day ~
It's of my sexy (so so sexy!) leg as I type this. My leg is covered in little, round, blue and black, bruises from trying to get rid of my current IT Band pain issues. Boooo, I say boooo! So for the newbies out there, here's some info on IT Band Syndrome - from my personal experience, of course.
What is IT Band Pain?
It stands for Iliotibial band syndrome (but psshhh, I don't like using big words), and is a pain I get on the outside of my knee when I run. It's a pretty sharp stab into the side of my knee with each step I take, and will usually force me to stop running. Going down stairs is the worst with it too. (My history with IT Band pain here)
What causes IT Band Pain?
It's caused because the muscle that runs from my hip to my thigh (my IT Band) is tight, and filled with lots of little knots, which in turn shortens the band. This means my knee is working over time, trying to compensate for my short muscle.
What is IT Band from?
It usually occurs in runners from "too much, too fast" or an increase in mileage (August 2011 was a huge month for me, mileage wise! Hence, I currently have it). It's also not just running, people get it from walking, and cycling too. The pain (at least mine) is usually so bad I need to stop and take some days off.
Is it easy to fix?
Yes. The beautiful thing about IT Band pain is it's a "cause and effect" type pain. If the outside area of your knee hurts, in my very un-professional opinion, I'd say there is a high chance your hip/bum is tight and your IT Band is filled with little knots. Take your thumb and dig it into the side of your thigh – does it feel like you're pushing on a bruise? It shouldn't, so if it does – it's tight.
How do you fix it?
In a word? Commitment. I've had IT band issues every single season since I started running, and it never goes away until I 110% commit to getting rid of it. If you half-ass it, the pain still lingers.
Steps to fixing your IT Band Pain?
- Buy a foam foller (like, right now). It's the cheapest and most effective way of getting rid of IT issues. You can watch my foam roller video here! And order your foam roller here – remember, when choosing a foam roller, the harder the better (that's what she said).
- Stop running. Time off certainly won't heal your knee 100% - you have to still do proactive things, but it certainly helps.
- Ice-ice-ice! Despite your knee not being the actual problem (it's the tight outside thigh muscle that's the problem) it doesn't hurt to ice the side of your knee, as it's most likely inflamed by over compensating for your short thigh.
- Exercises! There are lots (and lots!) of IT Band stretches you can do to try strengthen your hips, and abductors (your side hip muscle). I don't do them, because I'm lazy and stupid, but if you dedicate time to exercises it does help [so I heard]. Just Google "IT band stretches"
- Physiotherapy – this can be pricey (I pay $70 for 20 minutes!! But luckily, it's covered for me) so make sure you do your research. I've heard you should never have to go more than 4 times – if nothing has improved, something is wrong! Essentially the physio will pound and massage and scrape those little knots out of your leg, it's that satisfying-type-of-hurt too.
Other Techniques:
You can also use a rolling pin on your thigh (and yup, you actually roll it up and down your thigh trying to get the knots out) or lie on your side on a tennis ball (put the tennis ball where it hurts / is a knot). When you feel the pain (a knot) stop and wait 30 seconds (this is the same when foam rolling).
Is bruising normal?
I sure hope so! I don't bruise easily either, but those blue/black bruises on my thigh are from my date with the foam roller last night. They're the little knots/balls of tight muscle, which I am trying to get out… it hurts to get them out, but I'm sure within the week they'll be gone.
Questions? Comments? Concerns?
Leave a comment, and I'll do my best to answer it!

Too Little Too Late
From Gifts and Dec
I got a call recently from a business owner who was in trouble. First we got through the stories about his big mean bank. Then we talked about how great and glorious his business would be if only he could borrow another $800,000. Then we looked at his balance sheet and discussed the lack of rich uncles or friends who might lend him the $800,000.
His bank is actually a little mean bank but they can't be blamed for his situation. Two years ago they made reckless and short sighted decisions but lenders are entitled to do that. The owner predicted exactly what would happen - his business would tank. And then he let it happen.
When your lender retracts credit you have to react, Yesterday. It really is that abrupt even though the results of not doing anything won't show up for maybe 90 days. But after 90 days you've lost, well, 90 days. And if your lender wants to snap the leash once, they're likely to do it twice.
Bad things don't really happen all that often, maybe only a few times in an entrepreneur's career. Not getting paid $300,000 by K-Mart was one that got me. A natural disaster was another. It's the rarity of these events that catches us off guard. We weren't trained to deal with them, they're often a surprise and entrepreneurs are incurable optimists. To date, no business owner has ever over-reacted when hit with really bad news. Even with my scars I'll probably still hesitate a few valuable days the next time I'm blindsided by bad luck. But it won't be 90 days.

Lucky commented:
Theses are really great potins. I too live in Florida, and because my wife is Japanese as still has family back in Japan, we were particularly horrified with all the news.One thought worth considering. In the unlikely event of a tsunami off the coast of Florida, if you don't have any high-rise buildings or hills, the second best thing is to head inland as far as you can get.In South West Florida (where we also live) that would mean taking county roads directly East. I've started to drive a few of these roads to get an idea of the terrain and locate possible elevated locations along the road where we could bail out if need be.
Subham commented:
It's that time of the year when we want to make our loved ones happy. I'm a believer that this sodulhn't cost the earth.So if your loved one already has an iPod, why not for them this xmas. The great thing about this gift is that it's free or will only cost you pennies.Go on head across now and Buy for them.

I love virals like this Samsung advert, which is cool, fun, exciting and therefore incredibly shareable.
The lack of branding (What range is the printer in? What is the printer model number? When is it available to buy?) does cause confusion, but it's what makes the advert look and feel more authentic and perhaps even fan-made, hence why it gets so easily spread on different channels and viral sites.
Will it make me visit the Samsung website? No.
But will it make me think of Samsung next time I need a printer? Maybe.
It may not be as interactive as the Samsung 3D project YouTube ad, but its still fun and shows how smart and effective digital advertising can be if done well.

Presented to: Louise Plummer
For: My Name is Sus5an Smith. The 5 is Silent
An excerpt from the citation: "'When Uncle Willy left, I was Susan Smith. Now, ten years later, I am Sus5an Smith. The 5 is silent. It's a silence that drives certain members of my family up the wall, but I figure if you're going to have the last name of Smith, then your first name should be more exotic than susan or Sue or even Sioux.' Thus we meet one of the most delightful characters in young adult literature. Her life-long attachment to Uncle Willy, known only briefly as her Aunt Marianne's husband, is a mystery to one and all. To Sus5an, Uncle Willy represents exotic places and a kindred spirit in the arts. He appreciated the 'way the elm trees arch over our street, and the way the hollyhocks grown thick next to the garage. He appreciated the junebugs flitting about the yellow light of the porch. Willy say it. He saw the magic of it.' And didn't he send her a silver necklace on her eighth birthday?
"Springville, Utah, is hardly the place for a true (seventeen-year-old) artist to pursue art, in spite of the fact that it is called 'Art City.' Every time Sus5an paints a member of her family, they seem disappointed. Even angry. This year, for the student art show, Sus5an is painting an entire family portrait, including Aunt Marianne's fiance Heber and the long gone Uncle Willy. But she keeps the bedroom door locked because she doesn't want to hear 'questions like, "Why are you putting that S.O.B. Willy Gerard into a family portrait?" And [she] especially [doesn't] want to hear, "Why are Grandma and Grandpa Schroeder's faces distorted on one side?"' But, of course, at the show those are the very questions. The prize she won only embarrasses her family.
"And that is why, after graduation, she goes to Boston to live with Aunt Libby, unmarried, un-Springville and able to introduce her to a world where real art exists. Sus5an quickly befriends the eccentric old woman, Grace, in the apartment next door, finds a job in a movie theater with Savatore as her boss, and meets a promising young artist, Thomas Roods. She also realizes her heart's desire and finds Willy.
"We laugh and cry with Sus5an as she learns to see Willy, herself, and even boring old Springville through more adult eyes. At the end of a very long summer, Susan tells her family she is going back to Boston to pursue her art education, this time with her vision a little more clear.
"Louis Plummer never intrudes into the novel, never preaches. Susan and her family are LDS but not obtrusively so. Her dad's store is closed on Sunday and he goes to church with them and naps in the afternoon. Susan values human beings as individuals, evidenced by her friendship with Grace and her unflagging if ill-placed trust in Willy. Her values and her family's are ones the Mormon audience will identify with but not cringe over. This delightful book won first place in the Utah Arts Council contest for young adult fiction and is listed among the School Library Journal's December 1991 list of 'Best Books 1991.' We are proud to add our award to the list of recognitions given to My Name is Sus5an Smith. The 5 is Silent.

2009 BMW 7 Series Revealed
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Recently the fifth-generation of the BMW 7 series was secretly unveiled in Munich but don't worry it will soon be publicly presented in Paris in September. As the first car to offer full on-demand internet access which allows passengers to surf the web via an iDrive system, complete with color monitor and rotary controller, the new BMW 7 Series for 2009 is high tech, fast and fashionable. The new ride even sports rear-wheel steering...how does that work?! Surely, BMW has always been a desired automobile but I have to say the internet on the road, plus the usual classy luxury and high performance engine, make the new 7 Series one of the must-haves of this coming year.

Great service, was quiet, food was fantastic, very filling, nice bright, clean friendly atmosphere. I strongly recommend that you try this place/ The best breakfast I have had in a long time.
Great service, was quiet, food was fantastic, very filling, nice bright, clean friendly atmosphere. I strongly recommend that you try this place/ The best breakfast I have had in a long time.
This place is very small, but the food was good. It is a grille, so limited selections like burgers, dogs, etc. I had a salad though which was excellent, but not a huge selection of 'healthy' food.
We came here after our first restaurant choice had a long wait that interfered with our upcoming tour schedule. They had a decent selection of sandwiches although a little pricey. There was a lot of college kids in this small space and it took about 15-20 minutes to get our food after we ordered it at the counter. It was... More
Fantastic hamburgers and onion rings. Employees were super nice. 1950's style little restaurant with nice menu.
What a great find this place is! We went for Breakfast on our last day in town and were sad that we wouldn't be there at lunch time. Breakfast was wonderful. Eggs cooked just as we requested. Staff was so pleasant and cheerful. The pictures in the ladies restroom just added to the great experience. Hot photos of Paul Newman... More
Burger was the juiciest one I've ever had prepared well done. Delicious! Fries were okay. Service was friendly and accommodating. Went for dinner and were the only patrons. Would be more fun for lunch with a crowd.
One of the best cheeseburgers I've ever eaten and the cheesesteak with hash browns was awesome. Great food, good prices, would highly recommend a visit there
Very good food, and great host! They were very accommodating of our large group and made quick food that was very very good. The 'grilled piggy' (mac n cheese and pulled pork) sounded odd but was VERY good! Definitely a recommended diner!
After a long day at the monuments we were looking for an early dinner. I found this place through Trip Advisor and it was not a disappointment. Located about a block off the main circle in downtown Gettysburg we were able to park right behind the diner. Its a small location, very clean with really great 50's style decor. The... More
Very fun little restaurant all done up in 50's decor - aluminum and red and white vinyl, boomerang Formica tables, 50's movie stars on the wall. (My teenage daughter looked at a very young Marlon Brando and said, "who is he? He's HOT!" Burgers are excellent - flavorful and cooked to order. Highly recommend for a filling, informal meal.

Perfect for my project
Jan 29, 2013
By Slawr
I ordered this pack because of the 3 shades. I used them to glitter the insides of small, shapely vases, then filled them with plant filler, and put my makeup brushes in them for a cute display and easy access. Now my vanity is ultra-girlie :) haha. The glitter is nice and fine, so it covers well. After the glitter was dry, I coated the glitter with another layer of Mod Podge to seal it, and it doesn't shed at all. I can rub my finger on it and it won't shed glitter. Good buy.

Great Quality!
Jun 02, 2012
By Kayla
This glitter is great value and it really sparkles! You get a lot more than it looks like. I filled an 8 oz jar with this glitter and some water and it only used about a quarter of the container. It'll last you for sure. Definitely worth the money, and it's so beautiful!

Excellent product!
Jan 06, 2012
By Heather
Super fine glitter in silver, "gun metal", and black. The super small specks of glitter really magnify the shimmery-ness, making this the perfect glitter.
The only thing I feel I should warn about is the black; It's a bit on the flat side, looking like a matte black powder or something in certain lights, instead of sparkly glitter. However, that might be how it's supposed to look.

Perfect for creating the illusion of granite countertops!
Apr 04, 2013
By LittleV
I bought this product to use when painting my hideous countertops. I recently moved into an apartment with formica PALE PINK countertops and needed to fix them up ASAP. I googled "DIY how to paint countertops" to get an idea of what paint to use, etc. A suggestion was to add GLITTER to create the illusion of granite. It worked GREAT. This glitter was a perfect purchase because it is very fine, so it adds a hint of shimmer to the countertop. I love that it came in a pack of 3.
Glitter makes the world go round!

Great product, beautiful color and when mixed with mod podge, it's less messy. Great craft project and I glittered everything in my studio!

Morning get.
Today more men and women who go to work than ever before countries.
With interest rates that about half the record highs of 1980.
Nearly 2000 families today will buy a new home.
More than at any time.
The best for you.
Well that was president Reagan's morning in America -- made just before his 1984 reelection effort.
As the bad economy started to dramatically turn around President Reagan let people know.
President Obama has invoked Ronald Reagan repeatedly most recently to sell his so called Buffett rule that taxing the rich more.
But should the president be careful about inviting comparisons.
Let's take a look at the numbers.
Under President Reagan America's total GDP average or the rate of economic growth for the country.
In 1983.
It was it nearly 8%.
Compare that to last year's average of just one point 6%.
Under President Obama.
Things not looking brighter on the job front either an average of more than three million jobs were created under President Reagan back in 1983.
As opposed to just nearly two million.
Under President Obama and that of course is at a time which the population is considerably larger.
Under President Obama joining me now chairman of the Reagan group Michael Reagan.
You know a lot of folks have been talking about Ronald Reagan in this campaign and the president himself is invoked in many times.
The numbers really tell the story that we it seems clear and your dad we were facing an economic recovery when he was running for reelection.
There is a question mark however about whether we are right now.
There's a big question mark whether we are right now most people out here in America.
Outside the beltway feel that we are not moving in fact forward.
I talk to people every day as you do -- And there's nobody feeling good about America right now back in 198394.
-- that reelection campaign more in America it was mourning in America.
People are feeling good again but what is even better about it was what -- Reagan.
You know when he spoke people listened people trusted.
Ronald Reagan to do the right thing they don't trust.
Barack Obama do in -- -- the right things divisive well Reagan was never in fact divisive and it probably shows best with.
You know good friend to talk radio Alec Baldwin always stepping all over Alec and Alec of one time with the at the -- Any federation as you tell your family how I -- your father did what.
-- -- disagree with everything ever stood for.
He says yes but I've come to realize over the years your father had a good soul.
And what this country is missing today.
Is that good soul and he was absolutely correct in what he said Ron Reagan had a good soul didn't talk down to people talked to people.
You know if he was called the great communicators you know and in -- -- was.
You know that the expectations.
For his ability to lift this up and to inspire us were very high you know hope and change I think.
Democrats and independents and even some Republicans were hoping that that was true -- How important is that ability.
To funding warning in America again to inspiring the American people to get out there and get the economy going again.
Don't really need to not be inspired by the reverend -- the world but be inspired by the Ronald -- the world.
Who didn't speak Dell who didn't push people down to lift another group of people -- he did divide.
America at all look at Tip O'Neill for example Tip O'Neill who ultimately signs -- -- the Reagan tax cuts of 1983.
Or -- one.
And at what age to Tip O'Neill -- -- and why in the world did you sign on what the the president save you when you went to the White House.
And Tip O'Neill Shipley looked at -- -- you know went up there never talked about taxes always talked about with the goodness and greatness of America.
And her people before I knew what I was supporting -- Reagan when he was trying to do how can you be against a man like that.
And that was the person while regular was about this is not the person Barack Obama is about he is about -- to try and conquer is -- bringing people together.
He he had a very different policies from your dad's of course and -- and and Michael Barone has a piece comparing these numbers.
He ends that piece by reading the numbers make it clear -- numbers that we Begin your segment with the Reagan tax cuts led to vibrant economic growth.
The Obama's spending splurge.
Did not.
Do you do you see -- how big a difference do you see when it came to approach in fixing the economy between these two presidents.
Will have.
Actually right to be Ronald Reagan as John Kennedy realized tobacco 1960s.
Cutting -- is giving people more of what vapor and allow them to make decisions how it's going to be spent.
Actually grew the economy back in the 1960s.
And again during the 1980s.
It is a proven fact it can be -- -- you know economics has never -- were reaganomics work.
Can Vietnam which for whatever has always worked for this country and it doesn't work when you're trying to in fact push other people down.
And and try to say that the rich are in fact the problem with America was my father's -- in one speech.
You know with with the fat -- -- standing next to offend me and there's one group of people play the fat and got fat.
I -- in the food off the plate -- the thin man.
Just not true.
And we'll leave it that Michael Reagan.
Thank you -- it's seeing --

Local residents and business owners agree: when in line, get off the phone
MARQUETTE -- We've all been there. It only takes one customer on a cell phone to slow up a line.
"It's definitely inconsiderate and it's not necessary to be talking with somebody who is not present with you," said Jalyn Morgan in the Burger King drive-thru.
There are some rules like Kelsey's Law, which prohibits teens from using phones while driving in Michigan, but off the road, it's more complicated. When it comes to cell phone etiquette, some say it's rude to talk on one in certain situations.
On Facebook, Chelsea Parrish says "Hands down, when someone is using the restroom and they're on the phone at the same time."
It can also affect local businesses and how they do their job.
"We're all about speed of service and getting cars in and out of here. If somebody's on the phone not paying attention to you, it draws the job out," said Harrison Norville, manager at Pit Stop Quick Lube in Marquette.
At Pit Stop Quick Lube, it's also safety issue. About two years ago, an employee was injured when a customer drove in for service while on her phone, but didn't stop when instructed to and struck an employee. The injury was minor, but it prompted managers to put up a no-cell-phone sign.
Fast food restaurants are affected on a more regular basis. At a Subway in Marquette, another sign discourages customers from texting or calling during an order, but it's not always successful.
"We like to keep it fast-paced. We don't like people to wait, and if someone is talking on their phone and they're not answering questions, they're not telling us what they want, then people behind them have to wait even longer. It just kind of slows the whole process down," said Lindsey Nemath, a Subway employee.
Many business owners and local residents agree that when in line, customers should put the phone away.

Off-duty firefighter is hailed a hero
9:41am Thursday 25th October 2012 in News By Amanda Greaves, Reporter
It was a life-saving gift operators of a community centre hoped they would never need to use.
But an Ilkley pensioner has praised an off-duty fireman for his quick-thinking by treating her husband with a defibrillator ... just one day after it was presented to the centre.
The firefighter, who was a guest at the same wedding reception, was called into action after Derek Rowson collapsed while dancing with his wife, Julie, at the Clarke Foley Centre in Cunliffe Road.
He came to Mr Rowson's aid by using the defibrillator – a £1,000 gift from Ilkley Round Table presented the day before – reviving the pensioner before he was taken by ambulance to Airedale Hospital in Steeton.
A defibrillator is a machine that gives the heart an electric shock, and can be used in some cases of cardiac arrest.
Mr Rowson was taken to hospital for overnight observations, where his condition was diagnosed as an irregular heartbeat. He is now recovering at home in Ilkley.
Mrs Rowson said it was a "great relief" the machine and a trained user were on hand to save her husband's life.
She added: "The fireman was wonderful – he was the first one who took charge and decided the defibrillator was required.
"He got the machine and brought him round."
Mr Rowson, who is in his 70s, is a volunteer at the Clarke Foley Centre, which runs events for the over-50s. He works as a cook at the centre's popular lunch-eon club.
The wedding reception was taking place for one of the centre's directors.
Centre manager, Judith Ellis, said: "In spite of it being so traumatic and absolutely awful for Julie and Derek, it was very reassuring for all of us – it proved the worth of having the machine here.
"We're very grateful to the Round Table for providing it for us, and to Addingham Heartstart for providing training."
Judith also praised the ambulance crew, who arrived quickly to transfer Mr Rowson to hospital.
Ilkley Round Table vice-chairman, Richard Brad-ley, said he was "delighted" to hear the club's donation had already made a life-saving difference.
Research by the British Heart Foundation shows that for every minute that passes without using a defibrillator on a patient, the chance of them survi-ving falls by 14 per cent.
A controlled shock within five minutes of someone collapsing provides the best chance of keeping someone alive, according to the research.

TUCSON - It may have cooled down in Tucson, but that has not stopped Pima County Health Inspectors from keeping the heat on eating establishments that serve you food.
In this week's edition of Kitchen Cops, inspectors uncovered a restaurant that has a problem with its kitchen ceiling, and that was just one of the violations that added up to a "Provisional" rating.
El Dorado Restaurant, at 1949 S. 4th Avenue, received six critical and four non-critical violations. The ceiling over a food prep table is described as "coming down." The floor was noted to be in severe disrepair. Rusted shelving was also observed. Food tested over the required maximum 41 degrees with guacamole at 61 degrees and pico de gallo at 66 degrees. Dishware stored as clean was found with food debris on it. A plastic cutting board was so worn, it had holes through the surface. With more than five violations not corrected during the inspection, El Dorado Restaurant was given a "Provisional" rating.
World Dining, the Honeywell facility cafeteria, at 11100 N. Oracle, received one critical and 7 non-critical violations. Several utensils, bowls and pans, stored as clean, had food debris on them. Vents above a grill line had dust build up. And the ice machine door was observed with a slimy substance on it. With all the violations corrected with the inspector on site, World Dining received a "Good" rating.
Two weeks ago, Carl's Jr., at 7805 E. Broadway, was profiled for having received a "Needs Improvement" rating. Last week, Shogun Restaurant, 5036 N. Oracle, was also profiled for having received a "Provisional" rating. The Pima County Health Department has confirmed that both establishments have passed re-inspection.
Restaurants recognized for excellent ratings include, Cracker Barrel, at 8400 N. Cracker Barrel, Venice Pizzeria at 7848 E. Wrightstown Road and Alice's Restaurant, at 5416 E. Pima St..

We travel all over the state and didn't recognize the name and was very skeptical about staying here. We arrived late and was greeted in the lobby by a... very friendly host and checked in to a very clean room that has beds that are second to none. Best night of sleep on this 6 day road trip and the breakfast was far better than any other hotel, that we have stayed in, on this trip. It is located just off I-49 and the surrounding area not the most desirable, but never felt unsafe. Very glad the "name" didn't keep us from staying here, I'd stay here again. av Curt från Arlington den 13.11.2013

My boyfriend's behavior with his mom has started to turn me off
Special Offer
My boyfriend of a year is a blast, but whenever were around his mom (who lives two blocks from our place), hes a wuss. Shes bossy and demanding, and he gives in to her every time. Hes 27, and his behavior with her has started to turn me off. What can I do?
Uh-oh. Looks like you caught yourself a real live mamas boy. Some men never truly leave the nest. Youre semilucky at least your guy made it around the block.
In a perfect world, a heart-to-heart would help him see the light. But in this imperfect universe, he probably doesnt think hes doing anything wrong by kowtowing to his mother. And attempting to change the dynamics of their relationship would be like trying to undo nearly three decades of mom-pleasing conditioning.
Instead, I think we need some perspective here: You say that hes a blast to be around (and youre living with him, so I assume you love the guy). All in all, it seems like you have a solid relationship. Just ask yourself: Are her demands limited to when youre in her home? Or is she completely imposing on your time with your guy? Its one thing if he helps her around the house when hes visiting; its quite another if he cancels plans with you because he has to attend to her needs or, worse, get her approval before you both make a life decision.
If the latter isnt the case, limit the times you spend at her house, since his mother is emasculating him in your eyes. You may not be able to control how he acts with her, but you can at least pass on having regular front-row seats. And if you see long-term potential with this guy, Id seriously consider moving into a place where you and his mom dont share a mailman. The farther away she is, the less likely shell be to have him under her thumb.

OKALOOSA ISLAND, Fla. (AP) -- Biologists are warning boaters in northwest Florida to avoid dolphins after two babies were struck and killed by a boat propeller just days apart.
The first dolphin washed up near Gulf Breeze last week after being hit by a boat. The second was found Monday west of Pensacola with numerous deep cuts.
Marine biologist Steve Shippee with the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge performed a necropsy on the second dolphin that was struck by a fast-moving boat.
Shippee says these two dolphins are the first propeller victims he's seen. He warns boaters against getting too close to dolphins or trying to pet or feed them.

I want a version of str_replace()
that only replaces the first occurrence of $search
in the $subject
. Is there an easy solution to this, or do I need a hacky solution?
Can be done with preg_replace:
The magic is in the optional fourth parameter [Limit]. From the documentation: | |||||||||||||||||
There's no version of it, but the solution isn't hacky at all.
Pretty easy, and saves the performance penalty of regular expressions. | |||||||||||||||||
The answers by 'zombat' and 'too much php' are unfortunately not correct. This is a revision to the answer zombat posted (as I don't have enough reputation to post a comment):
Note the strlen($needle), instead of strlen($replace). Zombat's example will only work correctly if needle and replace are the same length. Here's the same functionality in a function with the same signature as PHP's own str_replace:
This is the revised answer of 'too much php':
Note the 2 at the end instead of 1. Or in function format:
I timed the two functions and the first one is twice as fast when no match is found. They are the same speed when a match is found. | |||||
Unfortunately, I don't know of any PHP funciton which can do this. You can roll your own fairly easily like this:
| ||||
To expand on @renocor's answer, I've written a function that is 100% backward-compatible with The function could be completely self-contained, if you wanted to replace the function call with Note: Whenever possible, Usage
| |||||||||||||||||
I created this little function that replaces string on string with limit, without the need of Regexp. It works fine.

In PHP you can iterate over the letters of a string or access the letters as it is possible to access elements of an array. The snippet which replces only first letter of the string:
You can also access each letter using curly brackets. I use following code for replacing lowercase polish accented chars to uppercase one.

You can use this:
Found this example from php.net Usage:
This may reduce the performance a little bit, but the easiest solution. | |||
According to my test result, I'd like to vote the regular_express one provided by karim79. (I don't have enough reputation to vote it now!) The solution from zombat uses too many function calls, I even simplify the codes. I'm using PHP 5.4 to run both solutions for 100,000 times, and here's the result:
==> 1.85 sec
==> 1.35 sec As you can see. The performance of preg_replace is not so bad as many people think. So I'd suggest the classy solution if your regular express is not complicated. | |||
The easiest way would be to use regular expression. The other way is to find the position of the string with strpos() and then an substr_replace() But i would really go for the RegExp. | |||

this is my first answer here, I hope to do it correctly. Why not use the fourth argument of the str_replace function for this problem?
| |||
Its easy to find a solution to replace only the first or first couple of instances (by giving the count value). There are not many solutions to replace the last or last couple of instance. Maybe something like str_replace($find, $replace, $subject, -3) should replace last three instances. Anyways just a suggestion. | |||||

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality says it will award $250,000 in grants for water quality monitoring projects.
Local government agencies and nonprofit groups are eligible to apply for grants. Projects that get funding must be for areas other than beaches.

The department also plans to divide up $50,000 into grants for volunteer stream monitoring. The program is offered under MiCorps, a statewide network of volunteer monitoring groups.
Participants study benthic invertebrates, which are animals without backbones such as insects, snails and crayfish found on stream bottoms. They also keep an eye on habitat characteristics in streams and rivers suitable for wading.
Data collected by the volunteers helps state and local officials protect water resources.
