I am creating a database of theatre productions and currently have a very basic setup with the below tables:-
productionprod_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,prod_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
theatretheatre_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,theatre_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE
prodtheatreprodid INT NOT NULL,theatreid INT NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY (prodid, theatreid)
I have created 'add / edit production' forms into which you can enter the 'prod_name' and 'theatre_name'.
Currently if you enter a 'theatre_name' that already exists in the column it does not allow the entry to be added (given the field is 'UNIQUE') and simply displays the error message. What I would like to happen is for any such entries to be permitted and assigned the same 'theatre_id' as any pre-existing entry. (Not using the 'UNIQUE' command simply creates a new entry with a separate 'theatre_id' but with an identical name; I need all theatres with the same name assigned to the same id).
And I don't want to have to first create theatres in a separate 'add / edit' form.
think about what you're saying here
if it has the same name, then it has the same id
so attempting to add a new one with the same name ~should~ be rejected
UNIQUE is correct, and you need to adjust your error handling logic to reflect that
if the name already exists, you have to actually retrieve the id, in order to have values for inserting into the prodtheatre table
then again, if it doesn't exist, you also have to retrieve the id, which you can do in php with the mysql_insert_id() function
for simplicity of coding, i would use INSERT IGNORE, and then simply SELECT (rather than testing for an error and using mysql_insert_id() if there was no error)
Hi Rudy,
Thanks for the advice; I had not come across the INSERT IGNORE command so that's massively useful. Here is my code (minus error messages):-
$sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO theatre SET
$theatreid = mysqli_insert_id($link); //OBTAINS NEWLY ACQUIRED theatre_id
$sql = "INSERT INTO prodtheatre SET
Might you be able to explain how to use the SELECT command to retrieve and insert the 'theatre_id' data (from pre-existing or newly-created entries in the 'theatre' table) into the 'theatreid' field (of the 'prodtheatre' table)?
Thanks (I'm still a beginner)!
SELECT theatreid
FROM theatre
WHERE theatre_name='$theatre_name'
returns a unique id because theatre_name is unique
note you wouldn't use mysql_insert_id() because if it already existed (triggering the IGNORE) then no new auto_increment is assigned
Sorry, I get all that, but what I can't quite figure out is the code required to insert that retrieved data into the 'prodtheatre' table along with the 'prodid' data (pulled from an earlier mysql_insert_id() command), bearing in mind that 'theatre_id' comes from the 'theatre' table and goes into the 'prodtheatre' table under the a different header, 'theatreid'.
okay, try this --
INTO prodtheatre
( prodid
, theatreid )
SELECT $prodid
, theatreid
FROM theatre
WHERE theatre_name = '$theatre_name'
Amazing! Thanks so much, and sorry for being a bit thick about it.
The only change I needed to make was that the data I was selecting was 'theatre_id', not 'theatreid' - working fine now!
Final excerpt:-
$sql = "INSERT INTO prodtheatre(prodid, theatreid) SELECT $prodid, theatre_id FROM theatre WHERE theatre_name = '$theatre_name'";
I've been trying to tackle the problem of the INSERT IGNORE command increasing the AUTO_INCREMENT counter (and creating sporadic IDs), and have come up with the below solution which checks the existence of the entry before an INSERT is even made. If it does exist then I pass the existing ID on, but if not I enter it into the database and then use the newly created ID.
The ID field is a PRIMARY KEY and the value field is UNIQUE so there is no chance of more than one result ever being returned.
Does this seem like an elegant solution to you? I know there is lots of debate about this problem (and one you have discussed previously: link here), but this to me seems quite logical.
$sql = "SELECT id FROM table WHERE col='$value'";
$result = mysqli_query($link, $sql);
$row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
$id = $row['id'];
if (!$id)
$sql = "INSERT INTO table SET
$categoryid = mysqli_insert_id($link);
$categoryid = $row['id'];
in my opinion, this is ~not~ a problem
the purpose of an auto_increment primary key is to be unique, not consecutive
gaps in the numbers don't mean a thing
secondly, if your value columns (poor name, by the way) is UNIQUE, why do you even need an auto_increment?
Good points. It's probably because I'm currently using the ID for the URL and so wanted to keep things tidy, but I want to change that to use the name in future, so I expect you are right (btw - I'm just using 'value' to illustrate; wouldn't use that in practise!).

Joe Gilronan:-http://joegilronanlordoftherings.blogspot.com
I am a full time professional artist who has been greatly influenced by the works of Tolkien. I received a Fine Arts Degree in painting from Liverpool University and hold a Higher National Diploma in design and ceramics from the University of Wales. I am originally from Chester, England but have lived in Olvera, Cadiz Spain for the last 4 years. I have exhibited and sold work world wide and work primarily in oils,acrylic and clay.
Why Tolkien? I suppose it all started from a very early age when I first heard a reading of the Hobbit on a British children's TV show called Jackanory. I just loved the whole world that he had created, this in turn led me to The Lord of the Rings/Silmarillion. Ever since a part of me has inhabited this world and art has allowed me to continue this magical journey.
The natural world
I have been very lucky in that I have always lived in close range of amazing scenery the Snowdonian national park, the Cheshire plains and now the Andalucia moutains. Whenever possible, I go for walks and take photographs and do lots of sketches. So there are lots of trees/mountains/castles/rivers and landmarks that I have sketched/photographed in my finished works.
Too many to mention but two artists have remained a constant J.M.W. Turner and my father R.A.Gilronan who had a succesful career as a landscape painter.
I hope enjoy my work.My artwork is for sale in any format possible: greeting cards, posters, laminated prints, matted prints, framed prints, posters.
Some originals are still available for sale.

Regular version with hardbound book jacket and 180 gram black vinyl DLPs.
Antediluvian Through the Cervix of Hawaah DLP
Officially licensed from Profound Lore for the Americas.
Entitled Through the Cervix of Hawaah, this album represents the culmination of the musical exploration that Canadas Antediluvian has been deeply engaged with over the past several years. The body of work that precedes this album (consisting of a handful of demos and a 12 EP) shows the bands progress toward this immense release. No less unique than previous releases, Antediluvian continues to exploit the delicate permeability of the membrane containing the music defined as Death and Black Metal. The music on this album demonstrates tremendous reverence for tradition, while interjecting newly carved angles into the fabric of its sound, thereby enhancing the discordant interplay between instruments.
The use of fretless bass provides a gurgling death rattle to each of the tracks, bonding to the jutting skeletal structures of percussion as ligament entwines with bone. The guitars flicker with baleful harmony as the bands characteristic use of atypical time signatures, unexpected transitions, and guttural vocal intonations all conjoin into the fleshy totality of a body of songs. As with a body, the songs do not each represent the same function but serve in relation to each other and to the whole according to the (dis)order of the three-sided form. The production utilized is superb for the effect that Antediluvian seeks to achieve. The trap of overproduction is avoided, yet the material is provided a clear enough mix that the raw and atonal melodies characterizing each song are not lost amid the bestial aggression.
Antediluvian generally focuses on the primeval, and on this album conceptually concentrates on undermining the Abrahamic faithsin part through a prism of Left Handed mysticism, but also by gesturing toward some of the more contradictory, absurd, and violent passages found in the Hebrew Bible. Picture the most elemental blasphemythe gravid human abdomen, expelling, spewing forth nacreous and gnarled beasts smeared with the putrid blood of impure lust, and the poisoning of the womb that would bear the bloodline leading to the birth of Christ. Antediluvians music draws upon currents of blasphemy that permeated that ancient era and thrusts them forth into present day spiritual conflict.
As always, Antediluvian approaches releases with a holistic sensibility. This latest irreverent sonic manifestation takes the grotesque imagery of prior outputs even farther, portraying a synthesis of each unholy lyrical deliverance with a unique otherworldly hallucination. The emerging superimposition of these elements is both profound and atrocious. This vinyl edition presents the lyrics and accompanying artwork in exquisite form, within a hardbound 20 page book-style LP jacket containing a three sided double LP with etched artwork on the fourth side.
Due to the heavier vinyl weight (180 gram), the pockets for the LPs are too tight to allow for easy insert and removal. It's advised that the LPs be stored outside of the pockets to allow for easier access.

|Electronics Q&A
Are in-hull transducers
always less powerful than their through-hull equivalents? A. G. via e-mail
But there are caveats. In-hulls will not work in wood, steel, aluminum, or cored hulls. They can only shoot through solid fiberglass, and there's a limit to that. The big R199, for instance, is rated to handle up to one inch of glass. In other words, an in-hull's performance is affected by the hull, which is why you may have heard tales of reduced range when a conventional transducer is mounted inside. Airmar's claims are based on the fact that its purpose-built in-hulls are engineered to offset the signal loss.
Whatever style of transducer you use, installing it right, and in the right place, is critical. Airmar is working with production boatbuilders to design transducer pockets right into their hull molds—a brilliant concept that includes adapter plugs such that most any through-hull transducer easily mounts flush—but, in the meantime, take care. That's another good reason to know who Airmar is. Its Web site, www.airmar.com, and technical support personnel are standing by, ready to help.

Hopscotch is an old traditional game that still brings loads of fun and laughter in school yards everywhere. With these easy steps you can create your own hopscotch at home, inside or out!
Number of players:
What you need:
- chalk or masking tape
- markers for each person playing - pebble, bottle cap, shell, button, etc.
Use chalk to draw a hopscotch pattern on the ground or use masking tape on the floor.
Create a diagram with eight sections and number them.
Each player has a marker such as a stone, bottlecap, shell, button, etc.
For younger children simply hopping across the single versus double squares can provide hours of fun.
The first player stands behind the starting line to toss his or her marker in square one.
Hop over square one to square two and then continue hopping to square eight, turn around, and hop back again.
Pause in square two to pick up the marker, hop in square one, and out.
Then continue by tossing the stone in square two.
All hopping is done on one foot unless the hopscotch design is such that two squares are side-by-side.
Then two feet can be placed down with one in each square.
A player must always hop over any square where a maker has been placed.
Getting out: A player is out if the marker fails to land in the proper square, the hopper steps on a line, the hopper loses balance when bending over to pick up the marker and puts a second hand or foot down, the hopper goes into a square where a marker is, or if a player puts two feet down in a single box.
The player puts the marker in the square where he or she will resume playing on the next turn, and the next player begins.

The apartment, newly renewed with modern finishing, completely paved in elegant parquet, is furnished with elegant pieces of furniture in the tones of white and red. Ca dei Botteri 3 has a completely accessorised kitchen, a roomy living room with an elegant glass table and a comfortable double sofa bed.
The two bedrooms are composed of: one with double bed and roomy wardrobe, while the other, in the nuances of green, with two single beds. The apartment has two bathrooms, in the nuances of walnut colour with an elegant mosaic on the shower floor, while the other, with windows, in the tones of grey.
The additional comforts in the apartment are the satellite Lcd television, air conditioning, hair dryer, toaster, vacuum cleaner and crib for children (upon request).
The apartment is located on the third floor and can accommodate 6 people.
Away from the comings and goings of the tourists, a few steps from the market, the fish market and the most vivid atmospheres of Venice, the apartment Ca dei Botteri 3 is a place to comfortably discover by foot the beauty of Venice.
From Ca dei Botteri 3 in 5 minutes you can reach the commercial heart of Venice: Rialto. The promenade continues through the Rialto bridge among the lively little stores, to go down into the Mercerie, the evocative name of antique commerce in Venice, a unique number of every kind of shining shop windows, still nowadays, a real paradise of shopping up to St Mark's Square: international franchising, fashion brands, boutiques of famous Italian and worldwide stylists (Rolex, Gucci, Cartier, Krizia, etc.) and the typical handcrafts like the carnival masks and the Murano glass. Once in St Mark's Square, the scenario is really breath-taking: the St Mark's Basilica with its precious façade in mosaic and valuable marble, crowned by the Procuratie as if in an elegant living room ready to welcome the hosts under the porches and in the historical cafes.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Beautiful house, clean and tidy very convenient as the location (very close to Rialto and Piazza San Marco). Equipped with all the comforts, from TV to heating! The only thing I would suggest is to change the mattress sofa bed because it is very uncomfortable but otherwise everything was perfect for a vacation in Venice is perfect!
Bellissima casa, ordinata e pulita molto comoda come posizione (vicinissima a Rialto e a Piazza San Marco). Dotata di tutti i comfort, dalla tv al riscaldamento! L'unica cosa che consiglierei è di cambiare il materasso del divano letto perchè è decisamente scomodo ma per il resto è stato tutto perfetto per una vacanza a Venezia è l'ideale!
Recommend without hesitation, a wonderful apartment in quiet residential location, away from tourist hussle yet only 10 mins walk from station and 5 mins from boats. Close to shops and restaurants. Spacious, modern, excellent value for money. Also has small courtyard. Very helpful host.
We were 5 architects visiting venice for the architecture Biennale. The appartment was next to Arsenale, and it was even more great than it apears in the advertisment photos.
Realy clean, nice, good location, cheap.
Very nice apartment, functional and practical, very well located in Venice. It feels like home. Ideal for families.
Très joli appartement, fonctionnel et pratique, très bien situé dans venise. On se sent comme à la maison. Idéal pour familles.
Nice apartment in a good location, close to the water taxi stop. Wi-Fi nice touch
Housing large, clean and especially VERY WELL LOCATED! rare in Venice. quiet apartment, close to all amenities and the center of everything (Rialto market, Ghetto, St. Mark ...) I RECOMMEND. Sylvain-France
Logement grand, propre et surtout TRES BIEN SITUE !!! rare à Venise. appartement très calme, proche tous commerces et au centre de tout (Rialto, marché, Guetto, saint Marc...) JE RECOMMANDE. Sylvain -France
Nice and central location. Perfect for 4 or less people
The apartment is in a great location, near the Stazione Santa Lucia, so do not go with all the luggage through Venice. The apartment is super nice in a quiet alley, and yet it is only 1-2 minutes among the tourists. The apartment is located on the ground floor and is directly surrounded by a canal. Unfortunately, the heating did not work, and we had cold (but were rare in the apartment and so it did not bother). The house is very loud, but as I said in the holiday anyway you spend only a short time in the apartment. Otherwise, the flat was clean and cozy.
Die Wohnung ist super gelegen, in der Nähe der Stazione Santa Lucia, so muss man nicht mit dem ganzen Gepäck durch Venedig gehen. Die Wohnung liegt super schön in einer ruhigen Gasse, und dennoch ist man in 1-2 Minuten unter den Touristen. Das Apartment befindet sich im Parterre und ist direkt von einem Kanal umgeben. Leider ging die Heizung nicht, und wir hatten kalt (waren jedoch selten in der Wohnung und daher störte es nicht). Das Haus ist sehr ringhörig, aber wie gesagt im Urlaub verbringt man sowieso nur kurze Zeit in der Wohnung. Ansonsten war die Wohnung sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is very nice and clean, the location is great. I recommend it.
L'appartamento è molto carino e pulito, la posizione è ottima. Lo consiglio.
Ladies and gentlemen. I hereby would like to send you my review of the flat four Mori. The apartment is furnished modern renovated good but very dark. Two points we could not fault specific. The apartment is very moldy. When opening the door a one mold odor meets the very uncomfortable. The cabinets are difficult to use because of the smell. Also, the kitchen is very bad. Lacks pots and other kitchen utensils. On the wall in the bedroom, a large gray spot was about 50 × 80 cm. We had the mold with a vacuum cleaner sucking away.
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren. Ich möchte Ihnen hiermit meine Bewertung über die Wohnung vier Mori schicken. Die Wohnung ist modern eingerichtete gut renoviert allerdings sehr dunkel. Zwei Punkte haben wir konkret zu bemängeln. Die Wohnung ist Sehr schimmelig . Beim Öffnen der Tür kommt einem ein Schimmelgeruch entgegen der sehr unangenehm ist. Die Schränke sind nicht zu benutzen wegen des Geruchs. Außerdem ist die Küche sehr schlecht ausgestattet .es fehlen Töpfe und sonstige Küchenutensilien. An der Wand im Schlafzimmer war ein großer Schimmelfleck circa 50 × 80 cm groß. Den Schimmel mussten wir mit dem Staubsauger weg saugen.

Katie Price models linge- WHAT IS THAT?!
Katie "Jordan" Price (center) modeled the latest lingerie line for George in London today. She thought it'd be a great idea to invite six of her "everyday" fans to help model the undergarments. Unfortunately, one of her fans happened to be a hairless gorilla in a wig. Hold on, that's a woman? Why would God create such a beast? It's because I, you know, do stuff at night, isn't it? Whoops. My bad, everybody. Sorry!

Looking to Buy Energizer Rechargeable Batteries? Try Rayovac Rechargeables Instead!
The Energizer rechargeable battery (NiMH battery) is a great choice of battery, but Rayovac Platinum batteries offer a compelling alternative lasting 2 to 3 times longer than standard NiMH rechargeables! There is plenty of confusion about rechargeable batteries – like is it really as easy as it sounds? Both Rayovac and the older NiMH Energizer rechargeable battery are designed to use as follows: charge it, use it, then recharge before the next use.
Energizer rechargeable batteries are not designed to be used over the long term since they have a high self-discharge rate (NiMH batteries DO NOT hold a charge like an alkaline battery); while Rayovac rechargeables do hold a longer charge ideal for digital cameras and other quick use devices. Like the Energizer rechargeable battery, the Rayovac rechargeable has been improved from the old nickel-cadmium battery and provides more power while also eliminating some of the concerns over use of heavy metals in the cells. And of course, rechargeable batteries - when right for the application - are also GREAT for the environment! By recharging and reusing the same battery casing, you keep disposable batteries out of landfills!
WHEN CAN I USE A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY? Use Rayovac rechargeables in cameras and other high drain devices. You can use Energizer rechargeable batteries in devices you are going to use immediately after charging the batteries. If looking to buy Energizer rechargeable batteries, note that they are not ideal for all applications. Energizer NiMHs lose their charge quickly, so you shouldn't use them for smoke detectors, baby monitors or wireless mics. Rayovac rechargeable batteries last 2-3 times longer, and can be used in applications when Energizer rechargeable batteries cannot. Regardless of rechargeable battery brand, be sure to recharge frequently to ensure the strongest and most reliable power.
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO RECHARGE? The Energizer rechargeable battery, as well as Rayovac rechargeables, should be recharged before every use. All rechargeable batteries lose power even if they're just sitting in a drawer. So remember, they're not the best choice for, say, emergency flashlights. (Use an alkaline or lithium battery instead.) Recharge often and check devices using rechargeable batteries frequently.
Medic Batteries offers the highest quality batteries at the lowest possible price. We offer Rayocav rechageables over the Energizer rechargeable battery because we trust the increased power Rayovac brings to your tools and gadgets. All of our batteries – including Rayvac, Energizer, and Duracell Procell batteries assortment styles - are stored in a safe, temperature controlled storage facility according to manufacturer recommendations. Orders placed before 4PM EST ship same-day, arriving within 2-7 business days from Medic's choices of reliable carriers.
Why buy Energizer rechargeable batteries for more when Medic offers Rayovac rechargeables at affordable bulk pricing? Order your Rayovac rechargeables today! For assistance placing an online order or guidance choosing a lithium battery, use our online chat feature or call us today at (800) 479-6334.

Did you know?
The Radium spent several years masquerading as a tearoom while selling alcohol on the sly
Regularly chosen among the top 20 bars in the world, the Radium Beer Hall is the among Johannesburg's oldest bars, and one of the most popular pubs in the country.
Opened as the Radium Tea Room by the Khalil family in 1929, this Johannesburg beer hall lived a double life as an elegant European-style café during the day and an illicit speakeasy at night.
When it received a liquor licence 13 years later, the name was changed to the Radium Beer Hall and it became a men-only, rough-and-tumble, spit-on-the-floor type of bar. It was also among the first informal shebeens in Johannesburg to sell alcohol to black people, which was illegal at the time.
The Radium Beer Hall as it is today started life in 1985 when current owner Manny Cabeleira bought the premises. Much to the horror of the regular clientele at the time, he opened its doors to women and converted the adjoining billiards room in to a restaurant.
This was the advent of a new Radium, a vibrant pub and live music venue that anticipated the new South Africa by a number of years. It has always had a cosmopolitan mix of customers that includes all races and genders.
Today the Radium Beer Hall is both an authentic, historic pub and a modern bar. The walls are plastered with photos of pre-war soccer teams and jazzmen and women who have played there, plus vintage posters and old press clippings. It is still a popular live music venue, attracting a range of South African artists to its stage, including the Radium Jazz Band on Friday nights.
Of particular interest to history buffs is the scarred bar counter, more than 100 years old, that was rescued from the rubble of the demolished Ferreirastown Hotel. During the 1922 Rebellion on the Reef, striking miners were inspired by the passionate speeches delivered by a fiery female activist, Mary Fitzgerald, who stood on this very bar counter, brandishing the weapon that led to her nickname of 'Pickhandle Mary'.

RESIDENTS are expected to wake up to icy conditions on Monday as forecasters issue a warning for ice following heavy rain on Sunday.
The Met Office issued the warning just before 4pm on Sunday.
It is valid from 6pm until 10am on Monday morning.
A spokesperson said: "Showers of rain, sleet and snow will continue overnight. Clear skies between showers are expected to allow temperatures to fall to around freezing resulting in a risk of icy stretches forming on untreated surfaces.
"The public should be aware of the potential for some disruption to travel."
The chief forecaster said: "A colder, westerly, air stream will follow Sunday's frontal band bringing heavy wintry showers and wet surfaces to many areas during Sunday evening and night.
"Clear skies between showers are expected to allow temperatures to fall to or just below freezing at times resulting in a risk of icy stretches forming on untreated surfaces."
The Met Office is also predicting sleet will fall after midnight into the early hours of Monday morning
The warning came after trees were blown down over the weekend following more wet and windy weather.
Two trees fell in the car park of a pub in Burton during a sudden windstorm on Saturday afternoon.
The trees – one 200-years-old – crashed onto two cars causing major damage to them while the vehicles were parked at The Manor in Salisbury Road.
Sandra Lucie-Smith, 63, who lives at Winkton, near Burton, said she was at the pub celebrating a 70th birthday party when it happened.
Her car remains stuck until a tree surgeon can remove it.
"I was really, really upset. It's a new car. I am completely without transport; it's a total inconvenience", she said.
Chris van Hagen, owner of The Manor said: "No-one was hurt, and that's the main thing. It was very strange though.
"Two trees came down, one hit the other and landed on two cars.
"We will obviously get them out as soon as we can get a tree surgeon out."
A number of trees blocked roads around the county on Saturday night.
Arrowsmith Road in Merley was blocked both ways between A349 Gravel Hill and A341 Queen Anne Drive and Horton Road in Three Legged Cross was blocked both ways near Holt Road and Ringwood Road.
East Avenue in Bournemouth was also blocked both ways between Wimborne Road and Nairn Road.
There were also reports of tree branches in the road on the A35 westbound at Puddletown.
And on Sunday afternoon a tree was removed from Christchurch Road in Barton-on-Sea with another blocking Constitution Hill Road.
Church-goers at Lansdowne Baptist wrapped up warm for the service yesterday morning after their basement became flooded, breaking their boilers.
David Heys from the church in Lansdowne Road told the Daily Echo on Sunday the boilers had been temperamental all winter, and only one was working anyway.
"They have been touch and go anyway but this rain has just flooded us out.
"It's just in the basement part of the church. We're not sure where it's coming from yet; we only discovered it this morning.
"We're quite full in the church this morning, but there are more people joining us online for the service than usual."
A yellow weather warning for wet weather was in place for earlier today, warning of heavy rain and strong winds from 7am to 4pm.
The Met Office, who issued the warning, said an Atlantic frontal system was forecast to cross the country, bringing with it up to 25mm of rain in places over a nine-hour period and gusts of 50 to 60mph.
Residents were warned to be aware of potential disruption from flooding with a flood warning put on the River Avon at Ringwood.
The Environment Agency also warned of flooding to South Winterbourne Valley, including Winterbourne Abbas, Winterbourne Steepleton, Martinstown, Winterbourne Monkton, Winterbourne Herringston and Winterbourne Came.
More than 500 homes have been without power in Sway after overhead cables came crashing down in strong winds.
A Scottish and Southern Energy spokeswoman apologised for the delays and said: "We already planned to have extra resources on but the winds were much higher than forecast and have caused more damage than expected.
"We thank our customers for their patience."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - As a basketball fan, Cheryl Reeve enjoyed watching Tuesday's matchup between Minnesota and San Antonio. As the Lynx coach, it also helped that her team came away with the win.
``I just thought it was a really great game,'' Reeve said. ``I thought San Antonio played great. We had some really great offensive performances. I think our defense was pretty solid; I think (the Silver Stars') defense was solid. I just think it was really fun to watch. There was just some great individual play.''
Seimone Augustus added 21 points, Rebekkah Brunson had 20 and Lindsay Whalen had 11 points and 10 assists for league-best Minnesota (17-3).
Danielle Adams had a season-high 31 points and Jia Perkins added 18 points for San Antonio (7-14).
The Silver Stars had won three straight at home after falling 87-71 to the Lynx on July 19, but Minnesota's depth proved too much for San Antonio to overcome - again.
The Lynx shot 57 percent from the field, including 65 percent in the first quarter, in matching the 10-game winning streak they opened last season with. Minnesota also had 27 assists while shooting 39 for 68.
``We were sharing the ball,'' Moore said. ``They are definitely a team that likes to get their hands in the passing (lanes) and when you're dribbling. You have got to be really strong with the ball because their guards are really quick. So when we attacked and we kicked, we were going to be able to get open looks.''
Moore tipped in her own miss to give the Lynx a 77-64 lead with 7 minutes remaining. She was 10 for 15 overall, and 2 for 6 on 3-pointers.
Adams bested that individual effort, going 13 for 17 from the field and 4 for 6 on 3-pointers. She came within a point of matching her career high set June 11, 2011, against Atlanta.
``I thought Adams did a good job of mixing her inside and outside ball movement,'' San Antonio coach Dan Hughes said. ``The thing about Danielle Adams is we have tried hard to develop her as an interior player that can face the basket. I thought she did a really good job of that today.''
Adams made a fall-away jumper and Perkins followed with a 3-pointer to pull San Antonio to 84-73 with 3:28 remaining, but the teams essentially exchanged baskets after a Minnesota timeout.
``They are a great team and they have everyone coming back stronger than ever,'' Perkins said. ``However, I'm really proud of the way we played tonight. As a matter of fact, we have been playing good basketball these last few games, so we just have to keep that going and not worry about the score of this game.''
Jayne Appel, who averaged 13.3 rebounds in the Silver Stars' four previous home games, was limited to three rebounds in 30 minutes.
``That was a focus for us,'' Reeve said. ``Jayne had a lot of our attention because she had been playing well (and) getting confidence. Her rebounding has been critical to them.
``I think where we had her at times, she wasn't around the basket as much. She was getting space at that elbow (and) she was in pick-and-roll defense, so she wasn't as around the hoop as much as she had been in those games.''
The Silver Stars were 4 for 7 on 3-pointers to open the game, enabling them to remain within single digits for much of the first half against the active Lynx.
Attacking the basket and forcing mismatches on San Antonio's defensive switches, Minnesota shot 46 percent from the field in the first half.
``It required us to play great in order to get a win here and we were fortunate that we did, because I think San Antonio played great,'' Reeve said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/7/2012 (1854 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The fans will show up tonight. They always do, more or less, in these parts.
But the larger question is whether, for the first time this season, their football team will as well.
More than 28,000 tickets had been sold as of Wednesday afternoon for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' 2012 home opener against the Edmonton Eskimos at Canad Inns Stadium tonight at 7:30.
That's about 1,500 short of a sellout, and it will take a significant walk-up number for the club to nab its eighth straight regular-season sellout, going back to last year.
It would be too bad if the sellout streak ends one game short of tying a 59-year-old franchise record. Nevertheless, it's a tribute to the fortitude of the Blue Bombers faithful that the club is even within striking distance of a sellout after a performance this year that can only be described as a debacle on the field and off.
Just consider for a moment what the Bombers are selling tonight:
"Hey sports fans! We were wondering if you would like to pay good money tonight to come out to a dilapidated football stadium that we promised we'd never play in again in order to watch a football team that is presently a CFL laughingstock at 0-4. Oh, and did we mention the concessions are lousy too?"
Against that backdrop, the news tonight isn't that something less than a sellout crowd might turn up, but rather that anyone is coming out at all.
It bears reminding that tonight was supposed to be the night the Bombers formally unveiled their new stadium at the University of Manitoba. Instead, the new stadium has been in the news for an entirely different reason this week as the first of what might be several lawsuits over construction delays finally hit the front counter at the Law Courts Building.
If you could sue a football team for failing to perform, there would probably be a few of those filed on York Avenue this week, too (The Citizens of Winnipeg vs. Joe Mack, Paul LaPolice et al).
The "et al" would include all three aspects of the 2012 Bombers -- offence, defence and special teams -- none of which has yet to figure out how to put together a consistent performance from game to game or at the same time.
At least the special teams and offence have excuses. The special-teams unit has given up some big plays and made some boneheaded ones, but you can still make the argument that the play of placekicker Justin Palardy and returner Demond Washington has made the Bombers' special teams the best part of a bad lot.
As for the offence, they have the legitimate excuse that they've been beaten up at quarterback and are implementing -- or at least trying to implement -- a brand-new offence under an offensive co-ordinator who had no experience with three-down football until he got the job last winter.
The defence, on the other hand, has no such excuse. Yes, they've got some key injuries too, but they've had them since training camp and it's getting old hearing the same refrain week in and week out. And yes, they've also been playing better, especially last week against Toronto.
But the bottom line remains that this Bombers team, just like last year's, will live or die by their defence.
So far, they've been dying. But as of tonight, the train has pulled back into the station formerly known as Swaggerville and the local faithful will be begging for something -- anything -- to cheer about.
Maybe QB Alex Brink will light up the Eskimos secondary and they can cheer about that. Maybe Washington will rip off a return for a TD and they can cheer about that. But in all likelihood, if there will be anything for the locals to cheer about tonight, it will have to start with the defence.
And the defence knows it.
"We know what's at stake," Bombers cornerback Jovon Johnson reflected Wednesday. "It starts with us as a defence to stop allowing teams to score a bunch of points on us. That's just the bottom line and everyone understands that.
"And any time we get to play at home in front of our fans with them backing us the way they do, it's big for us... We can feed off the electricity of the crowd."
The battery is still charged from a Grey Cup appearance last season. But in these dog days of summer, the charge is dwindling rapidly and a blackout looms unless someone reignites a spark soon.

The Princeton Tigers won their last go-around in NCIC golf at Spring Creek Golf Course Wednesday.
With medalist Cole Evenson (79) leading the way, the Tigers (326) topped the three-team field of St. Bede (341) and IVC (349). It was the Tigers' second straight NCIC title and ninth overall dating back to 1943.
"Having played in the NCIC myself and knowing that this is the last NCIC tournament, I think it made it all the more special for our team to be the reigning NCIC champs and for Cole to be the reigning individual medalist,' said first-year PHS coach Duane Price, a former Kewanee golfer.
"Competition is always tough. Spring Creek, a position and precision golf course, can play extremely difficult. That said, I'm so impressed with how the guys raised their level of play. We have worked hard recently on being mentally tough and using course management skills to our advantage. It really showed today, and I'm hoping it gives the guys some momentum heading into the regional."
Evenson edged runner-up Jaron Hutson of IVC by one stroke. All-conference medals went to the top eight golfers, including third-place Zach Hicks (81), Hunter Schultz (82) and Ian Nichols (84) of Princeton, fourth-place Joey Dudek (81) of St. Bede and Justin Brabant (84) of IVC.
Also scoring for the Bruins were Grant Bosnich and Mike Zywica, both at 87.
St. Bede won the JV title with a round of 410 led by the 2-4 finish of Brady Donahue (93), Gabe Braboy (101) and Colin Giordano (105). IVC's Seth Smith (91) was medalist. Mason Baele paced Princeton at 113.
PHS also won NCIC titles in 1975, 1976, 1982, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Tri-County Conference: Hall placed third scoring 380 points in Thursday's TCC Meet won by Peoria Christian (367) with Midland (376) taking second. Henry's Bobby McBride was the meet medalist at 78, seven strokes ahead of runner-up Pete Mautino of Hall. Hall's Nathan Alfano (8th, 92) and Putnam County's Nate Ward (10th, 93) also placed in the Top 10.
Also scoring for Hall were Nick Scheri (100) and Ryan Ott (102).
Regional golf: The IHSA regional golf tournaments will tee up this week. Princeton heads to Timber Creek Golf Course for the Dixon 2A boys regional, joined by Dixon, L-P, Mendota, Oregon, Ottawa, Rochelle, Rock Falls and Sterling.
In 1A, Hall, DePue and St. Bede will compete in the Seneca Regional at Nettle Creek Golf Course. Manlius travels to Monmouth at Gibson Woods Golf Course and Amboy/LaMoille competes out of the Freeport Regional at Park Hills Golf Course.
Girls golf
Kewanee Invite: St. Bede had two golfers — Barbi Prokup (sixth, 92) and Sydney Eustice (17th, 101) and Princeton had one — Sophia Suarez (18th, 103) — received Top 20 flags in Thursday's Kewanee Invitational at Baker Park.
The Lady Bruins placed fourth (422), and Princeton was fifth (437), following Mercer County (371), Prophetstown (380) and Rockridge (414). Also scoring for the Lady Bruins were 21st Gabrielle Mendoza (106) and 35th Taylor Hamer (123). For PHS, Sarah Crowe tied for 21st (106), Arraia Hicks was 25th (110), Julie Miller tied for 29th (118) and Audra Reidner was 32nd (121).
Regional golf: All of the local girls golf teams are in Class 1A for the postseason with St. Bede hosting the local regional site at Spring Creek Golf Course in Spring Valley. They will be joined by DePue, Hall and Putnam County in a 15-school field. At other sites, Princeton travels to Baker Golf Course in Kewanee where 14 teams will be represented, and Amboy/LaMoille plays at the Oak Club of Genoa.

A 33-year-old Kidderminster woman has pleaded guilty to two charges of drug dealing.
Lisa Mills, of Hawfinch Rise, Kidderminster, admitted possessing cannabis and cocaine with intent to supply between October 21 and October 24, 2011.
She appeared at Worcester Crown Court with Aram Bapeery, 32, of Small Heath, Birmingham, who followed proceedings through a Kurdish interpreter and also pleaded guilty to the cocaine charge.
The court heard the case had taken a long time through no fault of the defendants. It had first reached court in September, 2012 and Mills and Bapeery both intended to plead not guilty but the trial had been delayed for a number of different reasons.
They changed their pleas as a trial was due to start yesterday and the case was adjourned for pre-sentence reports. They were given bail and are both due to return to court for sentencing on July 18.

The Lost Civil War is a conflict between two rival factions of The Lost Brotherhood Alderney Chapter; one led by Club Secretary Brian Jeremy which opted to remain loyal to Chapter President Billy Grey while he was in prison and another one led by Chapter Vice President Johnny Klebitz, who believed (quite correctly) that Billy's recent leadership had only damaged the Club's interests. The war was fought in 2008 during the events of The Lost and Damned.
The war began almost immediately after Lost Brotherhood Alderney Chapter President Billy Grey got arrested in Chinatown by the LCPD. Club Secretay Brian Jeremy believed that the club Vice President Johnny Klebitz had betrayed Billy to the police in order to become Chapter President, so he gathered his own faction loyal to Billy and started the war against Johnny's much smaller faction.
The War
The faction led by Brian split from Johnny's and instead of hanging out at the official Lost MC Clubhouse, they opted for going to Brian Jeremy's Safehouse. The war remained cold until Brian decided to eliminate Johnny and take over the Chapter until Billy got released. In order to kill Johnny, Brian lured him and his three lieutenants Jim Fitzgerald, Terry Thorpe and Clay Simons to a meeting that was suposed to be a peace negotiation, but when Johnny and his friends arrived there Brian and his men attempted to kill them. This backfired on Brian since Johnny and his crew killed his goons and he was forced to go into hiding.
The two factions of The Lost kept having small armed conflicts for a while until Brian approached Ray Boccino of the Pegorino Family, to ask for support against Johnny in the war. Boccino, who saw Johnny as a better business man than fanatic Brian, betrayed Brian by telling Johnny where he was hiding. Johnny proceeded to go to Brian's safehouse and stormed the place, killing Brian's guards and eventually cornering him in his room. At this point Johnny either kills Brian or lets him escape.
If Johnny didn't kill Brian at his safehouse, he eventually encounters him on the street and Brian leads him to an Angels of Death ambush, but Johnny ultimately finishes off the AoD and Brian as well; so Brian ends up dead even if the player initially spares him.
The war ends at this point due to the destruction of Billy's support and Brian's death.
The casualties of the war leave most of The Lost Brotherhood's Alderney chapter dead and several of their business interests ruined. Subsequently, the deaths of both Jim Fitzgerald and Billy Grey along with the destruction of the Lost MC Clubhouse by Ray Boccino's goons leads to the dissolution of the Lost Brotherhood Alderney Chapter.
The war was mentioned in a Weazel News radio segment in Grand Theft Auto V.
"For years, the Lost motorcycle gang were involved in a non-stop war with The Angels of Death, raging across several states. Then came 2008's bloody civil war, that seemed to wipe them out. Now it appears they are back, and worse than ever."

UnsungMusicalsCo. Inc. has announced initial casting for its new production of the hit 1948 musical revue Make Mine Manhattan. The limited three-week engagement will play March 1 – 17 at the Connelly Theatre (220 East 4th Street), opening March 4. With sketches and lyrics by Arnold B. Horwitt (Plain and Fancy, "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis") and music by Emmy Award winner Richard Lewine ("Cinderella", "My Name is Barbra"), this new production is directed by UMC artistic director Ben West (Gatsby, How Now, Dow Jones, Platinum).
The cast will feature Jessica Lee Goldyn (A Chorus Line, Encores! On the Town), Stacey Harris (Lone Star Love, White Noise), Dennis O'Bannion (White Christmas), Greg Reuter (Spamalot, Shrek) and Bret Shuford (South Pacific, The Little Mermaid). Additional casting will be announced soon!
About the show: The original 1940s revue Make Mine Manhattan is a loving send-up of New York City's most infamous borough. Struggling actors, disgruntled theatre critics and hapless out-of-towners all bite the Big Apple in this sparkling entertainment!
Make Mine Manhattan will feature choreography by Rommy Sandhu (How Now, Dow Jones, Encores! Applause associate), musical direction and arrangements by Fran Minarik (Gatsby, Making the Boys), lighting design by Joe Hodge (Perfect Crime, Gatsby) and costume design by Martin T. Lopez (Penelope, Orpheus).
UMC is presenting Make Mine Manhattan as it was originally conceived by its authors under the title A Nice Place to Visit; the initial drafts describe the musical as "a pocket revue, designed for a cast of eight with two pianos". This new one-act production of the hit revue will feature discarded dialogue and four musical numbers cut prior to the revue's Broadway bow: "I Gotta Have You", "New York Gal", "Old Fashioned Girl", "Please Take It Back".
Tickets, priced at $18, are currently on sale via SmartTix.com or by calling 212-868-4444. For more information, visit www.UnsungMusicals.org.
The original Broadway production of Make Mine Manhattan opened January 15, 1948 at the Broadhurst Theatre. Staged by Hassard Short and starring Sid Caesar, Sheila Bond, David Burns and Danny Daniels, the hit revue played 429 performances and was followed by a national tour starring Bert Lahr.

NEW YORK (AP) U.S. television networks spent hours weighing Sunday whether to air video footage, shown elsewhere in the world, of what appeared to be American prisoners of war in Iraq.
The images were picked up from Iraqi television by the Arab satellite station Al-Jazeera.
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said the Geneva Conventions make it illegal for prisoners to be pictured and humiliated, adding that television networks that carry such pictures are, I would say, doing something thats unfortunate.
That left network executives with agonizing decisions involving both matters of taste and the question of whether they were letting the Pentagon influence their independent newsgathering decisions.
All of the networks said they would not show video of what was said to be an Iraqi morgue containing American bodies, saying the material was neither newsworthy nor appropriate for airing. However, both CNN and NBC have aired a still image of bodies that could not be identified.

Topic: MD Anderson appt. for my husband
First of all Mary, I have to say how happy I am for you and your husband!! For them to see no tumor is the best news any of us on these boards could hear. We have thought about going to Pittsburgh too. (we are in Ohio, at the James at OSU right now)
Anyway, we did get an appt. for next Wed. the 31st at MD Anderson. We are seeing Dr. Steven Curley.
Has anyone heard of him??? We have appointments here at Ohio State for Mon. and Tues. with the chemo and radiation Docs to see what they suggest. Then we can take that info with us on Wed. to MD Anderson and see what they think.
This is such a nightmare as you all know. My husband was diagnosed on Dec. 11, 2006 and we still don't have any treatment plan in place. Our Dr. here (Dr. Mark Bloomston) says this is a slow growing cancer. Everything is just taking so long to get something started.
Anyway, was just wondering if anyone has heard of Dr. Curley or knows of any other Docs at MD that would be worth talking to. I know there are so many there, it's supposed to be the best for livers???????
Thank you everyone for your info.

The Last Place You'd Look for a Wallaby
Glen Chilton
Each to his own place is an environmental rule. Out of their natural surroundings, some species can cause havoc. Chilton, who mixes travel with animal science in his writings, provides a series of entertaining case studies. From wallabies in Scotland to what tea-planting has done to Sri Lanka, he shows how beautifully nature is balanced - until humans interfere. The beauty of this book is it avoids the obvious, such as cane toads.
Chasing the Light
Jesse Blackadder
Fourth Estate, $29.99
Men travelled late to Antarctica — and women even later. This novel takes a little-known aspect of history — the first women on the frozen continent — and breathes life into it. Blackadder imagines four women competing for the distinction, in a series of fine character studies. The novel is serious-minded — as much about an unsustainable trade as it is about the battle of the sexes.
BOOKS THAT CHANGED ME: Rachael Treasure
My Brilliant Career, Miles Franklin
I read Miles Franklin after being transported from an invigorating childhood of rural freedom and a working-class primary school into a private all-girls school of brown tights, tartan kilts and constrictive belief systems. I immediately identified with the character of Sybylla, and after reading it, I knew I was destined to be a writer. I, like Sybylla, was both country and creative. It was the moment I discovered it was OK to be a woman of creative passion who did not fit the mould.
The Thorn Birds, Colleen McCullough
As an adolescent, this book taught me about the tenuous tightrope walk of love and longing, balanced with social taboos. It fed my appetite for books set within the Australian rural landscape and raised questions in me about religion and the constraints it placed on women. Colleen McCullough is an island dweller, like me. My forebears came from Norfolk Island before relocating near New Norfolk in Tasmania. There's a kind of private synergy about The Thorn Birds that I hold close to my heart.
Rachael Treasure's collection of sexy stories, Fifty Bales of Hay, is out now and her novel, A Farmer's Wife, will be published in April.

A new report from Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-MA) urges 510(k) reforms to close what he calls a "loophole" that exposes patients to potentially unsafe medical devices. The report, "Defective Devices, Destroyed Lives: Loophole Leaves Patients Unprotected from Flawed Medical Devices," highlights the loophole as allowing FDA to clear medical devices that demonstrate equivalence to an earlier model (predicate), even if that previous model was recalled for a major safety defect. "This loophole in the 510(k) device approval process – named after its section in the law – has enabled a number of defective products to enter the market and cause serious harm, and in some cases even death," he said.
In February, Markey introduced H.R. 3847, the Safety Of Untested and New Devices Act (SOUND) of 2012 to close this regulatory loophole and ensure that new medical devices are not cleared by FDA if they are based on an product that was recalled. He said he is urging fellow lawmakers to add the bill to the user fee reauthorization measure being considered this summer.

What is FreeBMD?
The FreeBMD website for civil registration indexes started some years ago at a time when it was quite difficult to access the Civil Registration Indexes especially if you lived far from London or lived overseas. For those of you not familiar with civil registration see the civil registration lesson on MadAboutGenealogy's sister website www.teachyourselffamily.com. It is one of the essential websites for family history research back to 1837.
Ben Laurie, Graham Hart, Camilla von Massenbach, David Mayall and Allan Raymond are the creators of the site and they organise a huge number of volunteers who give their time to help transcribe the indexes to births, marriages and deaths for England and Wales. The indexes date from mid 1837 when the government set up the General Registration Office (GRO) and passed legislation that stated that all births, marriages & deaths must be recorded. The FreeBMD database covers 1837 to 1983, however the project is not complete as there are still gaps in the years 1930 – 1983. The years prior to 1930 are completed.
What can be found on the FreeBMD website?
The area which most visitors to the website will use is the search page. This page has a number of boxes which can be filled in or left blank.
Type – Searches can be of All Types, Births, Deaths or Marriages. One of these types need to be highlighted by clicking on it.
Surname – type in the surname you are searching for.
First Names – type in the first name of the person you are searching for. Remember that not all additional names were recorded on the GRO Indexes.
Spouses/Mothers Surname – This can be entered if known otherwise leave blank.
Spouse's First Name – This can be entered if known otherwise leave blank. This can be very helpful by narrowing down the search if you are seeking a person with a common surname and only know the first name of the spouse.
Death Age or Date of Birth – This can be filled in, but I generally leave this blank.
Date Range – The indexes are arranged in quarters i.e. the events registers in January, February and March are in the March quarter. Therefore if you are using this to narrow down a search range you will need to choose a quarter from the drop down box and also enter a year.
Volume/Page – These can be entered if known.
Mono – Choose this if you want a monochrome screen, It won't alter the search results in any way.
Exact Match on First Names – Tick this box if you are sure the first name can only be spelt one way.
Phonetic Surname Search – Very useful if the surname you are seeking can be spelt a number of different ways.
Match Only Recorded Ages – Only use this if the death you are seeking occurred after March 1866, but remember that in past times not everyone knew their age and sometimes ages were deliberately changed for a variety of reasons. When deaths were registered the person who was most likely to know the truth about their age may well be the person in the coffin!
Districts – In this box you can limit your search to a particular registration district. There is an excellent list of all the district together with details if they have changed boundaries over the years at http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/index.html. You can chose more than one district to include in your search simply hold down CTRL as you click the mouse.
Counties – In this box you can limit your search to a particular county. You can chose more than one county to include in your search simply hold down CTRL as you click the mouse. NOTE – You can not select both districts and counties, it is either/or.
Saved Search – You can save searches if you wish to come back again to them.
Once the search button is pressed a list of entries that fit the search criteria will come up for you to browse through and look at all possible entries.
A red cross next to an entry indicates that it has been altered or included since the last major update of the site. A small yellow envelope next to the entry indicates that someone has posted additional information. When I purchase a certificate I go onto the FreeBMD site and attach such a envelope (there are instructions how to do this) to the index entry. It may answer someone's questions before they have to buy a certificate.
A pair of spectacles next to an entry indicates that there is a scan of the original index entry for you to look at if you so wish.
Where can I find FreeBMD?
FreeBMD has it's own website which is sponsored by Ancestry.
The indexes are also on the Ancestry.co.uk website and are free to use on there even if you are not a subscriber.
FreeBMD is one of the sites that should be bookmarked by family historians especially if you do not subscribe to one of the major genealogy websites.

Top 5: Designer Chokers
A trend to choke on.
The Victorians were wearing chokers a good 200 years ago - as Queen Alexandra can attest, anyone who was anyone in the 1800's had a cameo clad neck. The choker saw a revival in the nineties, most notably rendered in hemp and miniature seashells and plastic, in the case of the ubiquitous, bubblegum machine dispensable 'neck tattoo'. Once again it seems that dangly and dainty chains are out, and (literally) in-your-face neck pieces are in. Designers are hot under their collars for chokers - and they're not discriminating when it comes to size and shape. Alexander McQueen paraded soft, tall ruffs made of organza down the runway; Michael Kors opted for wide reflective cuffs; and Delfina Delettrez tried a gothic pendant style. Below we've compiled a list of our some of our favourites.
1. Isabel Marant 'Object in the Mirror' choker available from La Garconne
2. Assad Mounser 'Fluorite Crystal Collar' necklace available from OTTE
3. Lanvin 'Brass and Swarovski crystal choker' available from Net-A-Porter
4. Iosselliani Limited Edition Multi Choker available from Bona Drag
5. 3.1 Phillip Lim Double Leather Collar available from Ssense

"My Fiance and I loved how easy it was to design the invitations ourselves. I like my print to be very large and bold, that would be the only thing I would have wanted to change. It looks beautiful though and you can see the cursive clearly. I recommend asking to have your invitations shipped in a box as my first order came in a mailing envelope that was damaged during shipment. This resulted in my invitations being lost and needing to reprint. They kindly took care of this for me quickly and shipped them out in a beautiful box. If you're in a time crunch, it can be a big delay.."
"Everything we ordered from Wedding Paper Divas was amazing! However, I was not impressed with the quality of glue on the envelopes. It would be handy for the glue to go all the way to the end of the envelopes for a secure seal."
"I just loved these invitations. I had them done with the rounded edge, but kept all of the colors and wording. I am so excited to send these out to my wedding guests! Just perfect, and the lace reminds me of my wedding gown :) Great paper quality and arrived days before estimated. Also received my proof very quickly. Thanks WPD!!"
"These invites have the simple elegance of a classic and traditional wedding invitation. Beautiful, simple, and elegant. Perfect if that is what you are looking for. They were delivered extremely fast as well."
"My wedding invitations came out so perfect I shed tears! I was a little skeptical at how the photo would look, but contrary to what I thought they came out beautifully. I don't even want to send them out I want to keep them for myself LOL. My order came right on time and was packaged very nicely I just can't say enough nice things about this company, I definitely recommend. P.S I also received a nice thank you letter from the person that worked on my order saying they loved my photos! lol so sweet!"

>Off the Beaten Path>Ask the computer wizards thread
Meat is Murder
We all have a question or two we need to ask some computer wizard but can't get a hold of the IT guy/gal. This is the place for these questions. I will start.
I have a computer whose hard drive failed and won't start. I gave up on it and I am buying a new box. How can I save some of the files on the old computer's hard drive?
Putin told me how to vote.
Depends on what you mean by "failed drive". If it is hardware failure data can be recovered but it is expensive. Last time I had this done was 4 years ago and it set me back $1500.
You people, have issues.
If the drive spins but the operating system part of the drive is corrupt, yes, you might be able to put it in another computer and recover some of the files. Another option is an external usb adapter.
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
I'm no expert but I think it's not the boot sector since the computer boots. But I think it's where the OS is that got corrupted. I think I can add it to a different computer as a secondary HD. How do I do that? Just plug it in physically and let the OS recognize it when I turn on the computer? Also, what does the external USB adapter do? How do I use it?
Sometimes it's just the boot sector corruption, can you remove the drive and add as a secondary drive to another working computer?
My laptop died because the video card melted (not exactly, but close enough) and the video card couldn't be swapped out without a motherboard change and the laptop is almost 5 years old etc etc etc.
Anyway, I pulled out the little drive, bought an external SATA-to-USB enclosure from newegg for about 9 bucks and voila... I now have a backup drive. Which had all my old files on it already. In my case, it was about 30 minutes of work... 20 of which was me being a dumbass. Zip zap zoop. However, sometimes it is harder, especially if the manufacturer was not nice about how the drive inhabits the old machine***. The important note on this idea is to know the physical dimensions of your drive before buying an enclosure.
*** I finally swore off dell after one too many issues and one too many Adventures with Indian Customer Service Scripts. But the ONE thing they did right on that laptop, which honestly lasted about 5 years and that's pretty cool too, is that the hard drive was amazingly easy to get out. Four screws, one slide, ker plunk.
If this is a desktop it's easy(er), if a laptop, go the route of buying the SATA-USB adapter SRL mentions and plug in, the adapter will work with a desktop too, but there you have the option of not buying the thing. The drive cable will have a jack where you can plug in the secondary drive, but you may need to mess with jumper settings on the drive, so if you are not comfortable messing around with the insides of a computer, go with the USB adapter
It's a desktop's HD and yes I'm not so comfortable messing with the inside of the computer. I guess the jumper settings are to tell the computer which HD is the master and which is the slave, right? In case I want/have to do that, where can I find the right jumper settings?
I don't think I have the original Windows disks anymore.
Proboscis Colossus
I'll just throw this out there: depending on where you buy the new box, they might be able to do it for you in-store. This would assume you were buying at a brick-and-mortar establishment.
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
Prince of Fatness
SRL's idea is easiest, IMO. I believe that they make caddies even for the bigger desktop drives. Remove drive out and take it a store, like Best Buy. Even if they do not carry the item they should tell you what you need to buy.
Or post the manufacturer and part number of the drive here and someone may be able to help find something for you online.
1stBrn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Unicrn
I have recovered files from a HD with a corrupt boot sector using USB external enclosure. Fairly easy to do. Just plug it in. I suppose this should be a reminder to make backups.
I have an NAS to back up all of our PCs, but alas, I haven't even configured it yet. I've had it almost a year. <sigh>
Good luck with it Arie.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I had a windows system that crashed because of a bad sector on the hard drive. I booted up with a Linux distribution called "Puppy" on a CD I was able to save the files off.
I found Linux to be a better OS than Windows and wound up installing Ubuntu and haven't had an issue since.

i want to do whatever common people do
I've always been a big fan of poster artwork from the Victorian freak show posters to the drop dead gorgeous Art Nouveau. And, of course, Toulouse Lautrec. This really was art for the people. The working classes. The common folk. Of which I am proud to be one.
Here are some of mine. I can honestly say that I've enjoyed making these above all of the recent work I've made. I hope it shows.
Dr Sketchy Sheffield does Toulouse Lautrec event. Now, there's a poster I cannot wait to make.

text: Prior to Grand Theft Auto IV, the various vehicles in the GTA series were often "orphans"; cars without associated manufacturers. Begining in the HD Universe, the vehicles carried over from the 2D Universe and 3D Universe as well as new vehicles were given manufacturers, which are often based on real-life brands. The new designs of the vehicles correspond to those of real-life vehicles, with minor changes and hybridization to create distinct models. The Bravado Buffalo for example, a 2-door muscle car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, was retooled into a 4-door sports/muscle car heavily resembling the modern Dodge Charger models, with the Bravado logos heavily based on those of Chrysler's Dodge and Ram Trucks brands.

Harry Walker, 80, Is Dead; A Fidgeter With a Purpose
Harry (the Hat) Walker, who made baseball history twice when he won the National League batting title in 1947, died Sunday at University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham. Walker, who lived in Leeds, Ala., was 80.
The cause was complications from a stroke, his family said.
Walker, a left-handed-hitting outfielder, was the only National League player to win a batting championship after playing for two teams during the season. He played 10 games for the St. Louis Cardinals, with a .200 average, and 130 games with the Philadelphia Phillies, hitting .371, en route to capturing his 1947 batting title with an overall average of .363.
That accomplishment also produced the only brother combination to win batting championships. Dixie Walker, Harry's older brother, won the National League batting title in 1944 when he hit .357 playing the outfield for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The hugely popular Dixie Walker was the Peepul's Cherce, in the Brooklynese of the day, while Harry was known as the Hat because he was forever fidgeting with his cap at the plate, supposedly wearing out at least a dozen hats a season.
''When I step away from the batter's box, fix my hat and my hair, I relax my muscles,'' he said, ''and maybe I get the pitcher and catcher upset.''
Walker's most memorable at-bat came against the Boston Red Sox at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis in Game 7 of the 1946 World Series. With the scored tied, 3-3, with two out in the eighth inning and Enos Slaughter on first base, he hit a drive to left-center field that appeared to be a single. But center fielder Leon Culberson, replacing the injured Dom DiMaggio, made a weak relay throw to shortstop Johnny Pesky, who hesitated before throwing home. Slaughter's ''mad dash'' scored the Series-winning run as Walker, who hit .412 in the Series, wound up with a double.
A man who loved to talk, Walker was forever discoursing on matters ranging from his hitting theories to the hard-nosed play of the Cardinals' old Gas House Gang to his 12 factors for success (attitude, initiative and adaptability among them).
Walker became one of baseball's best-known batting instructors. ''The secret is waiting,'' he said. ''Stroke the ball, inside out. The only kind of guy who should try to pull the ball is a guy who can hit you 40 homers a year.''
Walker hit only 10 in his career.
Harry William Walker was born in Pascagoula, Miss., and grew up in Birmingham, a son of Ewart (Dixie) Walker, who pitched for the Washington Senators, and a nephew of Ernie Walker, an outfielder with the St. Louis Browns.
He made his debut with the Cardinals in 1940, played on their World Series-winning team of 1942 and pennant-winning club in 1943, then spent two years in Army service, winning a Bronze Star fighting in Germany with a reconnaissance unit.
Walker hit .237 in the 1946 season, and when he got off to a slow start in 1947, he was sent to the Phillies, then went on a tear to capture the batting title. Dale Alexander, who led the American League in batting in 1932 with a .367 average, playing for the Tigers and Red Sox, was the only other man to win a batting crown appearing with two teams.
Walker later played for the Cubs, the Reds and the Cardinals again and had a .296 batting average in 11 seasons.
He was named the Cardinals' manager in May 1955, then was dismissed at season's end after a seventh-place finish. Walker also managed the Pittsburgh Pirates (1965-67) and the Houston Astros (1968-72), but never finished higher than third place. He later worked in the Cardinals' organization and spent eight years as baseball coach at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
He is survived by his wife, Dot; three daughters, Carole Miller, Barbara Muir and Mary Peterson, all of Leeds, and four grandchildren.
Though a fine hitter, Walker was overshadowed by his Hall of Fame teammates on the Cardinals, Stan Musial and Slaughter, and perhaps by his brother Dixie. But he never grew tired of celebrating the life of a baseball player.
''You couldn't worry about what Musial was doing,'' he once said. ''You've got to enjoy the game, love putting the uniform on. You have to perform each day, because what you did yesterday is history.''
