Neither language are really common for web development though -- sure, people do it, but it's not as common as other languages anymore; it makes sense for them still to be on more general programming sites as both are used for non-web development all the time.
I mean seriously, you visit a website and get a .pl extension, don't you kind-of laugh and go "what is this, 1996?"
The only major place I can think of that still runs perl for serving websites would be [Proboards, and that's just because they're using a fork of [url=http://www.yabbforum.com/]YaBB](http://www.proboards.com/)... Which makes sense for them since each forum ends up self contained to it's own directory with no SQL databases involved; to make a new free forum just make a new subdirectory, edit the config file, and point the subdomain at it... it runs. Need to move a user to a different server? Just copy the directory.
Um, I don't, though I'll wonder why they're bothering letting Apache or whoever let extensions through like that.
Both Perl and Python are being used for web development, but specifically I believe web developer with Python is growing. More and more web companies around here anyways are starting to do both Python and PHP... PHP for things like Drupal or Wordpress, Python for all new projects that aren't those frameworks. Why I expect more chatter in the Python section. Beside the repeating and ultimately useless questions like "What is best Python framework?". I mean real discussions, like what goes on in PHP.
The BBC runs on Perl. Booking.com, the largest hotel booking company in the world runs their site(s) in Perl. IMDB runs on Perl. Of course our local fire department site runs on Perl using the lightweight microframework Dancer (similar to Python's flask and bottle frameworks, and Ruby's Sinatra). In fact it's looking like Catalyst and Dancer are the two main competing Perl web frameworks, though I suspect the large companies I mentioned earlier (and the place where my husband currently works, the UK's largest newspaper personal-ads site) use their own home-grown frameworks.
You don't know of places running Perl because usually it's not advertised. You're just assuming they're running on ASP.NET or PHP because those are more popular.[/ot]
True that... but you know what I mean.
That's odd, it's the opposite of my impression of it. I see both being used more and more for system stuff -- bootloaders, startup execution scripts, etc... But for web dev? It was my understanding they were strictly an "also ran" alongside Coldfusion, WebL, TCL, etc... Particularly in the case of PERL, which I thought for all intents and purposes was dead on the web except for the hangers on maintaining stuff written in the 90's. (like Opera's forums, YaBB, etc...)
That is a most unusual choice of language for web work -- given it's not whitespace neutral for strings -- one of the things that makes PHP and ASP more viable for web work.... at least if you are writing code that outputs markup. More so given the minuscule system library meaning you're stuck relying on userland code for many basic operations? Not good.
Sorry, old school in me refuses to treat any interpreted language, particularly those that by default have an immediate mode as a "real" programming language. Reminds me too much of line numbered ROM Basic. See the tinkertoy interpreter I'm writing right now for fun... (well, ok, I've not shared it publicly yet, so you can't actually see it... kickstarter page coming once I get past a certain coding hurdle) -- Difference being I'm willing to admit it's a tinkertoy despite a (planned) robust function library (at least in terms of what it's for), tokenizer, bytecode caching/compilation, standalone interpreter (for bytecode instead of source distro, akin to p-code) and array offset calls instead of case/if switching...
Both are fine languages -- but for web work I'd be shocked to see someone in this day and age choosing either over PHP or even ASP.... or Ada... or Java... Being forced to not HAVE a choice supporting old/outdated code, fine... Choosing it for new stuff just leaves me scratching my head; but then a LOT of recent choices by various names in the Industry (Google comes to mind) leave me doing the "stoopid monkey" routine -- wondering "What in blazes is going on?!?"
Not sure what you mean by "immediate mode"... you consider the rather poorly written PHP (as far as language structure like camelCase_or_underscore_IDunno function names, etc) a "real" language but Python, which does the same stuff and works the same way except the functions actually stuck to a naming system and uses whitespace (not in strings, in code) as its syntax divider instead of {} (big deal, so what, who cares?), is not a "real" language? I'm doing the o_O and O_o here. (if you're just dissing all interpreted languages tho then I get it)
My only guess what you mean by "immediate mode" is that there's an interpreter (IDLE) that comes with Python for some reason, though it's little different from running a perl -e "some oneliner". I'm sure someone's made something for PHP, and someone creating one doesn't affect PHP the language in any way.
No idea why this matters. The whitespace in Python is just code syntax. It doesn't affect strings it puts out like HTML. Also, templating engines abound, same as any other language separating code from markup.
Calling it PERL instead of its name Perl does scream 90's, yeah. Just sayin'. It's "Perl". Or "perl" if you mean the actual interpreter. That it stands for Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister is an old community joke.
Now, Perl use in the web has declined, quite a bit... mostly because the cheap hosters who showed up on the scene in the late 90's had PHP and Apache and people switched. You want to run Perl on a cheap hoster (or Python or Ruby) and you'll have to do some legwork and begwork to get them to set that up for you (gawd forbid they give you root access to your section so you can set things up yourself). PHP started out as a set of little scripts that ran web sites. It remained monolithic like that. Other languages have these things called libraries (or modules) which people have to download and add to the Core as needed (which is often the problem, like getting your hoster to give you access to CPAN, or gems). So PHP was easier for hosters to offer since they can just have everything someone will need right there on the box.
Python may not be growing in the States for web work... my observation is for here in the Netherlands, which may not reflect other places (but I assumed it did). I hear "Internet media bureaus" (as they tend to call themselves) complaining they can't get Python devs on board, they all want to freelance, where they can make 10 times the money doing Python (for web) work. Two interviews ago I was told this too, they were a Django house. Django's pretty much the Drupal of Python, and over here it's growing, especially among students who've been getting out of school and want to start a website for something (Python's starting to become the "teaching language" in many schools, like MIT, in place of C... not sure I agree with this entirely... replacing Java though sounds great).
ooooh. You will post when there's the kickstarter page tho, right?
Apologies to the staff if this is drifting into a threadjack....
<hengist>Threadjack! THREADJACK! [b]THREADJACK!!!</b> Bwahahaaa... You're all gonna die... die... </hengist>Quick... somebody call Dr. Hartley, Mr. Peterson's gone off his meds.
Any language you can run single lines by typing them in at a command-line type parameter. For example how you can use Python like it was a command line calculator. That's 'immediate mode' execution... a hallmark of 1980's ROM Basic and something most serious programmers had thought went the way of the dodo -- and now it's back... even mySQL does it which is... gah.
Immediate mode. Or at least, that's what it was called in the 70's and 80's.
No, I was actually including PHP in the list because it's also interpreted... bytecode interpreted, but still the same thing. No immediate mode, so it's one step up... but...
I'm sorry, but what functions? It's kind-of built on the C model of 'libraries and frameworks for everything " -- which is cute, until you realize it's an INTERPRETED language -- and doing that to an interpreted language is like driving with the parking brake on, since userland code is by definition many times slower than system code. Much like PHP it should be used for glue between optimized system code -- unfortunately it lacks many of the tools needed to use it that way for web development.
Though it could be worse, could be RUBY, with it's abysmally slow interpreter that they keep promising something better will come along.... and it never does.
That's kinda surprising to hear... given it's been a "also ran" for a decade or more... but I guess if RUBY can come back Frankenstein monster style after being stillborn for a decade thanks to Professor Victor von Railsenstein, stranger things have happened.
Python as the new Pascal... Interesting notion.
Yup, though it is a game development language aimed at schoolkids on devices like the Raspberry Pi over composite video connections (so 40x25 text mode 320x200 graphics max). You just mentioned educational languages, and that's exactly where I'm heading -- I might make fun of Interpreted languages, but it's where many of the best coders out there cut their teeth -- ROM Basic. A few tweaks to drag it kicking and screaming into the light again I think could really help get kids interested in programming without the headaches of having to 'jump in with both feet' into something like C or even Pascal. There is no modern equivalent to the ease ROM Basic provided kids like there were back in the heyday of the Apple II, TRS-80, C=64, VIC=20, Atari 400/800, etc, etc... Why not? There are worse places for kids to start. Get the idea of logic flow in their heads BEFORE you confuse them with scope, pointers, functions, variable passing, escaping values, etc, etc... I'm aiming for something a grade schooler can sit down with the manual and start using immediately without 'adult' intervention... which is why I'm also aiming cross platform full-screen only using SDL.[/ot]
I think this could be it's own thread, starting at post #68... if someone would like to split it.
IDLE.If you have Python on a *nix machine, type the command pythonin and you have IDLE open. Type stuff. It executes. You have to hit ENTER to create a blank newline to end a function or loop.
Typical functions? .read(), .open(), etc? They're methods of objects since everything's an object (except I guess primitives).
I think it's more that, because more people have been getting exposed to Python in academia (it's growing and used rather hugely for science (SciPy) and math (NumPy)), people started writing web frameworks for it. They just released Django 1.4 the other week. The older ones like Plone, Zope... they were used in the early 2000s mostly? not sure.
lawlz. It's the hipster brogrammers, actually. The brogrammer thing is hilarious, and seems to mention Ruby and fancy Javascript libraries for some reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi_AAqi0RZM
[quote="Python as the new Pascal... Interesting notion.[/quote"]
Personally, I think students learning about programming can start with Python but eventually they need to also learn C or something else low.
Yeah. This is why Python is being used. They want students in some majors who have to do programming courses to grok programming, and it turns out, starting with C, or even Java, wasn't working. So long as later they go back and get to C, I'm with it.
Anyway, next time you're going to start a PHP project, you should check out Python. My main problem with Python so far is the resources for learning it seem to either go on and on and on about how much better Python is than C (whenever there are advantages in interpreted languages, so all other interps would share these same traits when compared to C), and then how they go on about how Perl's unreadable (so's Chinese, just learn it first and don't base your ideas on first-graders' bad Chinese) and whatnot. And then they decide they need to do ternary operators in a weird way "so C guys don't get too comfortable, cause ternary operators are complicated and you should code simple" or something. It grates a bit.
That was a joke about the available functionality in the language -- the total function library 'out of the box' is small compared to some compilers from the 80's. So much python code seems to be brute force coding things a scripting language shouldn't be trying to do in the first place.
I noticed that about Python some time ago too -- it's like if you have to run around telling everyone how great you are, you probably aren't. They spend more time comparing the language to others than in promoting it on it's own merits.
Never heard it called that -- but then my terminology is three decades out of date... something that pisses me off is all these new names for old concepts; as if they're somehow magically shiny and new.... Old school it was called immediate execution vs. deferred execution. In BASIC, you had the prompt... anything you typed at the prompt without a line number was 'immediately executed'... if you put in a line number, it was 'deferred' for later execution... hah, I've got a book here that could be fun...
AppleSoft Basic for the IIE, page 46
Most of your BASIC manuals of the late 70's and early 80's used that terminology (ok, most ROM BASIC implementations were a form of Microsoft BASIC from 1978 onward) -- wasn't aware they went and called it something different.
Also good for a laugh was AppleSoft basic throws an error if you don't use an END command -- something no other BASIC I've ever seen does - the Woz had a funny idea at times on how things should work; so did Bill.... since AppleSoft BASIC was licensed from M$ to replace Woz' Integer BASIC
IDLE is an interpreter, and an in-joke. Named after one of the Monty Pythons, Eric Idle.
If you have Python installed, you just type "python" into the command line. IDLE starts.
I recently downloaded the Mozilla addon-sdk, after I installed it, it tells me I need Python, so I get it.
Of course I had to take a look and play with it a bit. I half expected I wouldn't like it much but surprisingly I did. Maybe partly because it's Python as in "Monty" vs. as in "asp"
I don't know if I'd use it for a web site, I'm fairly embedded in using PHP. But I can see where I might use it like I do Perl, for "behind-the-scenes" and system stuff.
That's where it seems to excel IMHO -- for when Bash scripts aren't quite powerful enough, but going to a compiler would be overkill.
Go away for a week and this is what I find when I get back? I don't really know SitePoint's culture well enough yet to know whether people are going to scream "Necro!" at me for reviving a four-day-old thread, but I guess I'll take my chances.
Anyhow, yeah, people are still using Perl and Python for web these days. I get the impression is that Python is still pretty popular (even with Ruby eating heavily into its mindshare), although I don't care for the language myself.
Perl, on the other hand, I do use. A lot. Including for web stuff, both at my day job (where I'm involved in taking an internally-developed Perl-based research publication and bibliographic/citation management web application and rewriting it (still in Perl) with modern best practices for release under an open license) and for my hobby projects (most of which are web-based games of one kind or another). Prior to taking my current day job, I was freelancing for six years and one of the biggest problems I had was trying to avoid getting pigeonholed as "just a web programmer" as soon as anyone saw that Perl was my language of choice.
As Stomme already mentioned, Catalyst is the big dog in the Perl web framework world and has been for quite some time. About four years ago, a former leader of the Catalyst project started up a new microframework called Mojolicious which looked pretty promising (at least to me), but then someone else started up Dancer, a microframework heavily inspired by Ruby's Sinatra. Today, Dancer is advancing fast and furious; development on Mojolicious continues, though it's slowed considerably by defections to Dancer; and Catalyst reminds me a bit of "enterprise" apps - it's big and heavy and opinionated, but people still have to maintain entrenched Catalyst systems and it gets used for new projects that people think are "too big" for Dancer/Mojolicious to handle.
Naturally, all three of them have "people using our framework" pages, if you want to add to Stomme's list of who's doing web development with Perl:- Sites Running Catalyst- Websites using Dancer- Projects and Companies Using Mojolicious
The Cool Kids(tm) are calling that a "REPL" these days. (Read-Evaluate-Print Loop)
Hey Dave!
Oh heck no. Reviving a year-old thread maybe, and if it's an informative and on-topic post it's still okay, because old threads show up in Google so new people may find old threads.
Plus, someone needs to stand up for Perl.
Given the sites linked to seem to all have broken layouts, massive scripting copypasta, outdated nonsensical markup and are written in tranny or 5 -- it does kind-of support the idea that it's still the province of people who have their heads wedged up the late 90's backside... though that could just be the natural state of web development and why people are stupid enough to hop on the HTML 5 bandwagon. Transitional -- basically saying your skills are in transition from 1997 to 1998... and 5 is just the new transitional.
Christmas on a cracker, another blasted name for a 40 year old concept?
If that makes you jump, you oughtta see how the kids these days are discovering event-driven programming... and think it's this new thing called Node.js. Lawlz.
Of course they've never heard of Perl AnyEvent
khm, non-interpreted languages for web??.. Back to 90's C in cgi? Cool. But thanks, no) Python is way better for this, really) And who cares about speed of language? I/O access to database is bottleneck most of the time. It's only a matter for some crazy stuff with few million unique visitors a day atleast.
I use python for web, this site is 100% pure python (webmaster-toolbox.com) and I hosted in google apps engine.I'm use also c# and java... but python is an other beast.
My personal experience: I can say you to use python if you want developer something totally new or for specific reason (in my case gae).Really advantages are that python is dynamic language, syntax is really "shorted" and you can count always on python.exe (the interpreter), you can also count on a good integration with functional language.
There's a really good framework, django... and others, and library around are good.Python is not error prone like perl ...
In the other side you have only pydev on eclipse to develop, and is not super fantastic.code completion is not really good cause the dynamic nature of language.And is not everywhere like php, so sometimes is easy to find good library.
So if you want to make a blog in python I ask you why u don't use wordpress?But if you what to make something different like saas or other solution can be a good choise.
About productivities I'm not totally agree that in python you speed up developing by 5 or 8 times, only thing that really speed up dev process is organization and project....
I hope this is useful for you and remember is only my opinion
p.s. I use python on pc
Yes, at least I do
Check this out mod_perl at http://perl.apache.org/It's a perl module (perl_mod) that works in apache just like the PHP extension module in php called php_modThis makes perl execute faster and have better performance than the traditional CGI.
Also, another reason I choose perl for web development is it's very old and mature, so it does have a very big bunch of free library in http://search.cpan.org/A lot of advance library such as parser I need can be found there.
Btw, the website in my signature is developed with mod_perl.
Python is the third biggest language on githubhttps://github.com/languages
Perl weighs in at #8
There's a lot of Python at Google : http://www.google.com/about/jobs/search/#q=python
P.S.I'm a Python noob. Just researching what's available and doable with it for the web. (Instead of just firing up PHP again.)I started learning Python because many 3D programs (Rhino 5, Modo 601, Blender, etc) use Python as scripting language.

Print Since Tony Lama was the 11 year old son of Italian immigrants, he began learning about the boot industry. He studied under his uncle as a boy in Syracuse, New York where he learned the boot trade. Those were the humble beginnings of a legendary bootmaking career. Tony Lama was a cobbler for soldiers stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. After his term, he moved to the nearby town of El Paso and setup his first boot shop. He produced the best fitting, most comfortable boots around. This is when Tony Lama Boots was born. in the 1930's Tony Lama began distributing boots in Western Wear stores and by 1961, Tony Lama Boots was producing over 750 boots a day. When Tony Lama passed away in 1974, his family continued the tradition of quality and handcraftsmanship, making Tony Lama Boots a true American success story. In 1990, the company became part of the Justin Boot family and the tandem has set the standard for quality and craftsmanship worldwide. If you have never tried on Tony Lama Boots, you are in for a treat. Each pair celebrates the humble and hardworking beginnings of the old west. With over 100 steps to producing every pair of boots, today's Tony Lama's incorporate the same craftsmanship combined with modern comfort and durability technologies. This construction and quality makes Tony Lama the most recognized western boots in the world. Not to mention the selection of men's boots and women's boots is outstanding. Whether it's the TLX series, their Handcrafted series or their classic Western boots, Tony Lama will not disappoint.

PhD (Cantab) Classics, Ancient History and ArchaeologySenior Lecturer in Egyptology Contact details Telephone+44 (0)121 414 email@example.com AddressArts BuildingUniversity of Birmingham Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2TT UK I am an ancient historian, specialising in the study of pharaonic Egypt. Qualifications MA (Cantab) in Egyptology; PhD (Cantab) on 'Abydos in the Late Period'. Biography I began my university career studying ancient and medieval history before switching to Egyptology, and many of the interests developed during research for my PhD have remained central to my research. Much of my work on the history of Egypt in the first millennium BC has been done in museum basements, but I have also worked in the field as an archaeologist at Malqata on the west bank at Luxor, at Amarna, at Balamun in the Delta and at Saqqara. Topics of particular interest include: epigraphy and palaeography; chronological and political structure; elite presentation and the institution of kingship; the religious site of Abydos; personal names as a source for religious and political developments; foreign immigration and social change; cultural interrelationships with the Mediterranean and the Near East. Teaching I teach widely in the history, archaeology, language, religion and culture of ancient Egypt, with a particular emphasis on the first millennium BC, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This ranges from an introduction to ancient Egypt at level 1, to a core course on Egypt in the New Kingdom and an option on Egypt in the first millennium BC at levels 2/3. Current project and seminar topics include Akhenaten and the Amarna Period, the village of Deir el-Medina, Egyptian religion and a variety of permutations in Egyptian literature. I also teach all phases and scripts of the Egyptian language. Postgraduate supervision I am happiest sharing my enthusiasm on any aspect of the history (in its broadest sense, and including both texts and material culture) of Egypt in the first millennium BC, and I am always willing to discuss their ideas and possible topics with prospective students. Past topics supervised include burial practices and coffin typology, funerary art (e.g. Theban tombs), royal iconography and religious developments (e.g. Libyan Period), regional topography (e.g. Heracleopolis, Matmar), and the historiographic tradition in Egypt during the first millennium BC. Research Most of my recent and current research comes under one or more of three headings. The first is the the Saite Period (664-525 BC): projects nearing completion include a comprehensive analysis of the erasure of the names of the pharaoh Amasis and a study of Papyrus Rylands IX, while a history of the Twenty-sixth Dynasty will follow. The second is the extent and nature of the relations between Abydos and Thebes in the Twenty-fifth to Twenty-sixth Dynasties, as seen through the prosopographic evidence from the two sites. The third is elite presentation: I am particularly interested in exploring the value of private monuments, especially statues and stelae, for our understanding of the history of Egypt and am preparing a publication of the monuments of a neglected high priest of Heliopolis of the seventh century BC.

About the Creator
As you may have guessed my name is Joshua Wyborn. Currently 18 years old (born in 1991) and studying fine Art. In 2007 I found my love for photography and started taking it serious. With the input of my father, who also has a passion for photography, my skills quickly developed. Also the input of photographers such as Cole Thompson has helped me in so many ways. I thank him for advice in photography and general life. Truly a humble man. Most things inspire me to take a photograph or to base work upon an idea. I love all types of Photography such as; Street, landscapes and portraiture. I find monotone photography detaches from the world we see and focuses on subject, form, shadow and light therefore making it more powerful and have a deeper connection with the viewer.

I have a client with some quite specific needs. I normally build things to spec but they, quite rightly, want to see if there's anything off-the-shelf rather than paying to have something built from scratch.
Here are the key requirements:
It should be PHP/MySQL and the design should be completely customisable (full access to HTML/CSS) and not be WordPress. The client has had a bad experience with it and we don't want to be reliant on loads of plugins. One or two well-tested ones are okay. It can be open source or commercial, we don't care.
Any ideas? The Hero Framework looks good in terms of points two and three above but not sure about the rest.
This one has multi-lingual support and seems to do user management. http://ionizecms.com
As always, it's hard to find something that checks all the boxes.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,Not sure, but try Drupal too. Maybe it has addons /plugins that can coplete those requirements.
Drupal is the first thing that comes to mind given the second requirement. Everything else can either me achieved with contributed modules or custom module development. Though the big advantage of Drupal will be the fields feature that meet the second requirement which other CM[S|F]'s don't really compare.
The major problem you're going to run into with Drupal will be the learning curve for both you and the client. While the system is very powerful and flexible it is a behemoth from both a technical and UX perspective. None the less coupled with the combination of knowledge and contributed modules it is probably one of the most powerful and flexible open source platforms out there. This is especially true when it comes to 8 which is just about a complete reengineering of the system – something wordpress should learn from…
I can recommend the free and open source CMS called ocPortal. It offers a feature to create custom databases (called catalouges there) like movies and it already has many features like an event calender included. Of course it offers access to the CSS files via the admin center with change management and more. The user management system is flexible, you can add usergroups, you have a flexible warning/banning system, activity-based automated promotion and much more.I use this CMS myself and I am excited about what the developers over there have created.
I think Drupal is the best CMS that can be used perfectly for your requirements
Drupal hands down...but be prepared to spend months (maybe years) mastering the damn thing it's quite complicated and unusual in some of it's solutions but flexible and highly extensible.
Thanks everyone. Someone has said Joomla can do this out of the box and is easier to learn than Drupal. Can anyone confirm this? Drupal looks interesting but perhaps I don't have the time to learn it if it takes a few months.
Joomla, WordPress, they will all let you achieve what you want, to some degree. The best way to find out, is spend a week building the basis of your app in each WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. You will be much better equipped to answer this question yourself at this point.
Hmm, I would never use WordPress for this as it would require too many plugins. I was after something that would work out-of-the-box. I'll look at Joomla and Drupal, thanks.
Drupal added CCk to core in D7 I think, you probably need a plugin to accomplish that in Joomla, WordPress has supported custom content types since V3, I think.
Regardless of the system you use, plugins are going to be required. Drupal, by design is very modular and will likely require the most plugins. Joomla has a component (mini-application) approach, which may result in less plugins but less flexibility, in my experience.
I hated drupal (still do) but when compared to the Joomla/WordPress experience i have had, I would choose that system, so my opinion at this point is probably bias

"I was so afraid to order my shipment without seeing the exact card proof but I love them! I had ordered the LINEN background because others had recommended it, and instead of the textured I ordered the PEARL WHITE SHIMMER for a more modern look. I couldn't be happier with them. It looks like, from other reviewers, you really have to change the background to linen if you want the shimmer. I hadn't liked the roughness of the original sample. The red is a bit on the pink side but not too much. The designers were able to put the little Ganesh in the top circle for me which I was very impressed with! I definitely recommend!"
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"Loved that I could personalize the card with my colors and wording. Also, getting to see an example of my product before finalizing the order was very reassuring!"
"I love my invitations. I previously ordered my save the dates and I knew the paper quality would measure up. The design is real pretty and I ordered it with the luminance shimmer, it just looks fabulous."
"This designer was exceptional to work with. I am extremely picky and requested custom changes. He/She was able to accommodate me 100%. The designer was fast and efficient. Thank you!"

PHILADELPHIA - One of track and field's most unique traditions will continue this summer as the University of Pennsylvania track and field teams head to Great Britain for the Transatlantic Series.
A bienniel tradition that dates back more than half a century joins Ivy rivals Penn and Cornell in a meet against the storied English universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The school's alternate as hosts with the meet being held at Cambridge this year. The Quakers will also compete at England's U-20 and U-23 Championships and spend time touring the country. In all, the Penn track and field teams will be overseas from June 16-July 1.
The Quakers will spend the first few days practicing at the university in Birmingham and then compete at the U-20 and U-23 Championships, June 20-22. The team will have some time to spend in London before they arrive in Oxford to practice at the world famous Iffley Road Track where Roger Bannister became the first man to break four minutes in the mile in 1954.
The team's then arrive in Cambridge for the last leg of the trip and the 2014 edition of the Transatlantic Series which is set for June 30.Following traditional British scoring, each event winner earns one point for their team.
PennAthletics.com will have full coverage of the team's trip.
In the lastest matchup between Penn/Cornell and Oxford/Cambridge, the Big Red served as hosts in Ithaca. Following the British scoring system, the American mentopped the British, 14-5, while the American women remained unbeaten in the Transatlantic Series with a 15-4 victory.
The last time the Transatlantic Series brought Penn oversees, the Quakers and Big Red toured Great Britain and then topped the foreign duo in Oxford at the historic Roger Bannister Running Track. The Penn and Cornell women combined to win all but one of the 19 events. The men had similar success, getting off to a fast start with victories by Penn athletes in four of the first five events, and in all, Cornell and Penn won 16 of the 19 event titles.
Penn will host the next edition of the Transatlantic Series with Cornell and Oxford/Cambridge at historic Franklin Field.

You know, some of the negativity is absolutely crazy. I say that a lot around here. It's kind of like the NFL, where every loss is Armageddon and every win means Super Bowl. Just look at the coverage of the Giants and Jets in this town, and listen to some of the idiocy on the radio.
But that's a 16-game season, and a loss is pretty big, and a string of losses can be season-deciding.
The Rangers and the NHL play 82 games. The very best team in all of the league is going to have three-game winless streaks, more than one. The very worst team in all of the league is going to win three in a row, probably a few times.
Now, those who think these three games are indicative of anything at all, you can stop reading because I know I can't convince you of anything, especially those way the hell out there who want the coach fired. Holy mackeral.
But the rest of you, the ones who have watched hockey for more than five minutes, the ones who understand you don't go nutso over three games, you probably see that this winless Rangers team (which is only one game under NHL-.500, and has only one NHL loss, even though it has lost all three NHL games) hasn't really played that badly.
It has given up nine goals. Three of those were on the power play. One really wasn't a goal at all, but a goal was tacked on after the Mighties won a silly, unrelated breakaway contest after the game was over. One was an OT PPG. One was an empty-netter.
The Rangers' No. 1 line has actually looked pretty decent. John Tortorella tore it up during one of the games in Stockholm, and that's going to happen — as you know. But Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik might do some magic together, and Derek Stepan was sure comfortable there in his debut Saturday as the No. 1 left winger (how the heck did they take away the kid's assist on Gaborik's goal?).
The second line hasn't hit stride yet, nor has the third. The fourth is going to have a new look tomorrow, with Kris Newbury joining Mike Rupp to add some grind. The goaltending has been excellent, as always.
Mainly, what the heck could you expect with the defense the Rangers have put out there? That's where there really might be (should be?) major concern. Because we don't know when or if Marc Staal comes back. And Michael Sauer, we think, will be back, but we don't know when/if he'll have 100 percent strength in that bum shoulder.
How many teams could lose two of their top four defensemen and survive? Especially a team whose defense is still so young, and which relied so heavily on the top four last year?
The other concern is the penalty parade, and I don't know how you fix that. I guess you don't accept stick fouls or weak offensive-zone penalties and definitely not too-many-men or lack-of-discipline penalties. But penalties will happen, and the Rangers better start killing them with more frequency.
If you want to be negative today, well, the Rangers next play the team that had the best record in the NHL, the best offense, the best defense and everything but the Stanley Cup last season.
I guess the Rangers bus got through the riots in the streets of Vancouver to reach the rink for practice last night.
I wonder if Jack Capuano ticked off the Rangers with his late timeout Saturday. I'd guess he did.
To clarify something I wrote yesterday … I said the Isles reminded me of the '95 Nordiques. I didn't mean they're on the verge of a championship. I just meant that they had collected a pretty good group of talented young players, and I wonder if A) they will still be playing on Long Island if they ever do reach the next level and B) if the current ownership/management group is capable of adding the extra talent they will need to even make the playoffs, never mind contend for the Cup.
I had one more thing to say, and I forgot what it was. You have no idea how often that happens.

Jon Gosselin Waits Tables Now
Not too long ago, life was incredible for Jon Gosselin. His shrew wife left him, making him only partially responsible for the eight children she defied science and God to make fall out of her, and it was an endless parade of having sex with (un)beautiful women on the back of an ATV. They say, he would literally take the form of an airbrushed dragon and plow you next to a gun wrapped in roses. "Fucksession, by Ed Hardy," he'd whisper in your ear. But then, slowly, the money stopped coming in thanks to giving Kate the exclusive TV rights to the kids so he wouldn't have to pay child support. And now he's reduced to waiting tables, an empty shell of the man he once was with a Bluetooth no longer proudly perched on his head letting you know his phone calls are super important, but still keep them panties off. Radar reports:
The one-time TLC star has taken a job waiting and bussing tables at Emily's pub in Beckersville, Pa., leading one source close to the father-of-eight to declare, "Jon has really hit rock bottom.
"Just a few years ago, he was jetting off to France to hobnob in St. Tropez, sipping champagne on a yacht," a source told the National ENQUIRER of the former reality star. "Now he's waiting tables at a pub!
"Working the weekday lunch shift, he can't possibly be taking home more than $40 or $50."
When an ENQUIRER reporter asked Jon, who divorced his wife Kate Gosselin in 2009, what he was doing there, he said was there to volunteer, and left it at that.
In Jon Gosselin's defense, working at a restaurant is always a pussy bonanza, so I'm willing to believe he's just there volunteering. And by volunteering I mean sauntering in and moving plates around until someone gives him a handjob in the walk-in and/or calls the cops. They already have his picture up at Cracker Barrel.

State Department Names CIDP Alumni Empower Fellows
SIS Master's of International Affairs in Comparative and International Disability Policy (CIDP) program alumni Raphael "Raphy" Domingo, SIS/MA '12, and Mackie Calbay, SIS/MA '12, have been selected by the Empower Access Program as Fellows by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.
The CIDP Master's degree, the world's first virtual Master's degree in disability policy and American University's first all-online degree program, was a founding centerpiece program of the Institute on Disability and Public Policy (IDPP), a research center at American University.
As part of their fellowship, both were invited to the first-ever Empower Conference on May 22 at the U.S. State Department headquarters. The conference featured 34 disability rights advocates from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Tajikistan and Uganda who have recently completed a month-long Empower fellowship exchange program.
The program invites selected disability advocates from around the world to the U.S. to work with leading disability advocacy organizations on issues such as inclusive education, disability advocacy and capacity building. Domingo and Calbay performed their fellowship with Discovering Deaf Worlds in Rochester, New York, where they received training on organizational development, fund development, strategic planning and advocacy. During their stay in the U.S., they visited Institute on Disability and Public Policy (IDPP) partner National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, Syracuse University and AU, the first CIDP alumni to do so.
Domingo is co-founder of the Philippine Federation of the Deaf. He is the current adviser of the Federation and two other national Deaf organizations. He also works as the Coordinator of Education Access for the Deaf at the Center for Education Access and Development of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in Manila, Philippines.
Calbay currently works as the Deaf Advocacy Program Coordinator for the Center of Partnership and Development under the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in Manila, Philippines. She volunteers on the Executive Board of the Philippine Federation of the Deaf Youth Section, Deaf Advisory Council of the Philippine National Association of Sign Language Interpreters and the Philippine Federation of the Deaf Sustainability Subcommittee.

I'm wrapping up this wordpress site:
And when my co-worker looks at the site, she see that the social media icons on the upper right seem miss aligned. However when I look at it on my screen on ALL browsers it looks fine. She supplied a screenshot for me.
Still I'm unable to duplicate. She uses IE 8 on an old monitor. I sent it to another developer and they didn't see it either. My question is does anybody see it the was she does? If so what do I need to change? It's hard for me to troubleshoot it since I can't see it. Thanks in advance!
Using FF(the latest) and IE8, I see exactly the same thing as is shown in the screenshot. Can you supply a screen of what it is supposed to look like? What is your testing environment... O/S, browser, etc?
Cool. I'm glad to see somebody else sees it. Here is how it looks on my screen.
The font-size in the main menu appears to be rendered smaller on your "newer" monitor than "others". There is no room allowed for such expansion without pushing the social media buttons down. If you need to know specifically what to adjust, someone else will have to offer that. I'm not sure.
The problem was solved for those who are wondering.. It was the navagation font. Replaced Myriad pro with arial. Thanks Ronpat for checking it out.
You're very welcome. Glad to help. Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, the problem is not solved. It's still happening.
I'm using (only when necessary) IE 9, on Windows 7, on an Acer laptop and Intel desktop. The problem still occurs.If I click the "Compatibility View" button on the IE menu bar the icons are properly aligned. In the 'regular' mode the icons are dropping below the line. Everything appears okay in Firefox and Chrome - so it is a continuing IE problem.
You could reduce the left margin of the mainmenu to some value less than 238px:
#mainmenu {
margin-left: 238px;
padding: 15px 0 0;
Or remove the left padding on the unordered list:
#mainmenu ul {
float: left;
padding: 0 0 0 25px;
Or reduce the value of the right margin to something less than 70px. That will allow the left edge of the main menu to remain in place.
#social {
display: block;
float: right;
margin-right: 70px;
position: relative;
On the #social div you don't need to use "float" or "margin" it aligns with the above header links in IE 9 and Chrome without.

MORE households are at risk of losing their home in Blackburn and Darwen than anywhere else in East Lancashire, according to new figures.
Homeless charity Shelter has revealed that 675 repossession claims were made in the towns last year.
The figures also show that Blackburn With Darwen is the eighth worst area for repossessions in the north west and the 50th worst in the country.
The boss of housing and neighbourhoods in Black-burn with Darwen, Coun Yusuf Jan-Virmani, said: "I hope that the figures come down during the next year. We have been monitoring this for a number of years and (the figure) partly comes from our work with other neighbouring councils.
"We have to move people around between regions and that's where the high number comes from. It's certainly not a major issue in this area." Burnley is 28th worst in the north west and 197th in the country, with 256 reposs-ession claims last year.
Hyndburn is ranked at 20 in the region with 294 claims in over the last four quarters and is 111th worst in the country. Pendle is 29th worst in the region with 232 claims, while the Ribble Valley is ranked 39th with 70 claims.
Pendle and the Ribble Valley are ranked 208th and 321st worst respectively in the UK.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "Eighty-one households at risk of losing their home every day is 81 too many.
"Each one of these will have had their lives turned upside down by this experience." The research, based on Ministry of Justice data, found that in the last year more than 29,700 homes in the north west were at risk of eviction or repossession - the equivalent of 81 every day. People are most likely to face losing their home in Salford and Halton.

Every time I switch on my Littmann® Model 3000 electronic stethoscope, it starts on a very loud (or very low) level. It was not like this when I bought it.
What are the advantages of an electronic stethoscope?
What is proprietary ANR Technology?
Littman® Model 3100 and Model 3200 stethoscopes cancel out, on average, 85% of ambient background noise that can interfere with the auscultation experience, without eliminating critical body sounds. So you're much less likely to miss the sounds you need to hear in noisy work environments; a full 13% better than previous models.
3M™ Littmann® Model 3100 and Model 3200 stethoscopes were designed to accommodate three battery types to fit your needs. Use one AA Alkaline, Lithium, or NiMH battery to operate your electronic stethoscope. The default battery type is Alkaline. Therefore, if using either a Lithium or NiMH battery, you must change the battery type within the setup menu of the electronic stethoscope for a reliable battery life indication on the display screen. The Lithium battery is a non-rechargeable cell that is recommended for low-temperature operation of the stethoscope and generally has a longer life than an Alkaline battery. The NIMH battery is a rechargeable battery (external charger required).
What type of battery does the stethoscope use?
If the battery is depleted will the electronic stethoscopes function as a non-electronic stethoscope?
No. The electronic stethoscopes will not work without the battery.
Why I am having trouble hearing anything when using the stethoscope?
It is important that you are wearing the stethoscope properly. All Littmann stethoscopes have headsets that are angled and are designed to fit properly with your ear canals. When holding the stethoscope, be sure that the headset is pointed towards the ceiling and then when placing the headset in your ears, be sure that the headset is pointed towards your nose.
How can I improve the sound quality during auscultation?
When using the 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3100 and Model 3200, there are several techniques that are important to consider that can substantially improve your auscultation experience.
The sound sensor, where all sound acquisition occurs, is quite small and located in the very centre of the chestpiece (for demonstration purposes, you can peel off the diaphragm and look for the indentation under the white sticker). The area around the sound sensor does not contribute to sound acquisition. Therefore, it is important to focus the point of contact with the patient on the very centre of the chestpiece.
Only light contact is necessary with the Littmann® Model 3200. This includes both the handling of the stethoscope and the contact on the patient. Excessive pressure on the patient may result in artifact sounds.
Contact with the patient must remain steady and consistent for optimal sound quality. Movement with the chestpiece will induce frictional noise. It is a best practice to start your auscultation exam at a lower amplification level. Then, if you are trying to listen to a difficult to hear sound, adjust the amplification upward. Using the amplification on an as needed basis will help reduce distracting noises during your exam.
Finally, it is important to recognise the difference in technique between non-electronic stethoscopes and the 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscopes. Holding the Littmann® Model 3200 lightly, making light contact with the patient, focusing the point of contact on the centre of the chestpiece, and remaining steady will assure the highest sound quality auscultation experience.
How long is the battery life? Can I do anything to extend it?
The 3M™ Littmann® Model 3100 and Model 3200 battery will last for approximately 60 hours of continuous use (depending on Bluetooth® usage, you may experience a shorter battery life with Model 3200). Before the battery is depleted completely, you will hear a warning tone that the battery has only two more hours of continuous use.
The life of the battery is being conserved if you are seeing the Littmann® logo; you are in standby mode. To enter active mode, tap on the diaphragm or push a button. To turn off the stethoscope, either do nothing (the stethoscope will power off after a period of time that is based on the POWER setting) or push the power button for two seconds (preferred).
There are several options to maximise battery life.1) minimising backlight display time will conserve battery life. Select Menu > BACKLITE and then select either DISABLE or ON DMND (on demand). DISABLE will completely disable the backlight at all times. With ON DMND, the backlight will only activate after pressing the power button. If you feel the backlight is necessary in order to read the display screen, simply select Menu > BACKLITE > ALWAYS. This will activate the backlight at half power to provide visual assistance, yet minimise power consumption. 2) Ensuring the Auto On / Auto Off feature is enabled (should be by default) will preserve battery life. This feature can be customised to allow for different periods of time before entering standby mode. To optimise the battery life, select Menu > POWER > LOW. This will program the stethoscope to enter standby after 10 seconds of inactivity.
Sound quality remains constant even on low battery. The electronic stethoscope will not work without a battery.
What is Bluetooth® technology?*
Bluetooth® wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth® technology are robustness, low power, and low cost. The Bluetooth® specification defines a uniform structure for a wide range of devices to connect and communicate with each other.
Does My Computer Need Bluetooth®?
No. Included with the purchase of the Littmann® Model 3200 is a USB Bluetooth® adaptor (dongle). Simply connect the Bluetooth® dongle to your PC using the USB port and your computer will be Bluetooth® enabled. For optimum performance, it is recommended that you use a wireless dongle which was included with the Littmann® Model 3200.
What is the range of the Bluetooth® i.e. how far away can the Littmann® Model 3200 be from the PC and still communicate via Bluetooth®?
The Littmann® Model 3200 uses a Class 2 Bluetooth® link, with a maximum range of 10 meters (about 30 feet). The Bluetooth® range will be reduced when objects (walls, furniture, people, etc.) are in-between the Littmann® Model 3200 and the PC. To improve Bluetooth® communication, reduce the distance and/or allow a line of sight between the Littmann® Model 3200 and the external device.
How can I optimise Bluetooth® wireless performance?
For optimum wireless connection performance, it is important that the stethoscope chest piece and wireless dongle are in close proximity and that the path between them is free of any obstructions. Walls, furniture, and bodies will degrade the wireless signal.
The positioning of the stethoscope and wireless adapter is crucial to good wireless performance. In some cases, the use of a USB extension cable which elevates the adapter and/or changes its orientation can result in a marked improvement. Littmann® recommends using the StarTech Desktop USB Extension Cable, or similar device, that can be found online at many retailers or at your local electronics store.
During recording, it may help for the PC to be located next to the patient (rather than behind them) so that the patient's body does not block the signal path. Hold the chest piece firmly with fingertips (rather than a cupped hand) to allow the wireless antenna to function optimally. minimise the distance between stethoscope and PC. Under typical conditions, a distance of 10 feet should be readily achievable.
Operating environment also plays a role in connection performance. Cordless phones, cellular phone accessories, microwave ovens, and computer WiFi equipment may all degrade connection performance and should be considered if connection performance is less than desirable.
Is Bluetooth® safe to use in a hospital environment?
The Bluetooth® system employed by the 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 stethoscope and software is a Bluetooth® Class 2 wireless data link that operates at a frequency of 2.4GHz and with a maximum transmit power of 2.5mW. The maximum radio frequency field strength generated by the stethoscope is below three volts per meter, a level that is considered safe to use with other medical devices.
Many scientific Bluetooth® coexistence studies performed by 3M and other institutions and have shown that Bluetooth® does not interfere with other wireless devices/technologies. In addition, Bluetooth® is strongly supported by Continua (SIG group for Telemedicine) and a new Bluetooth® Health Device Profile (plug-and-play BT communication protocol for medical apps) was just recently established and the first compliant products are now available. Further, devices with similar technology to ours have been approved in other critical-care settings, including OR suites and ICU floors.
Can I connect the Littman® Model 3200 stethoscope to my Bluetooth hearing aid?
No. The Littmann® Model 3200 electronic stethoscope is not compatible with any Bluetooth hearing aid devices.
Why can't I hear the sounds when playing a previous recording from my PC?
By default, the sound will be played directly back to the 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 via Bluetooth®. Listening to previously recorded sounds using the Littmann® Model 3200 is recommended, as the sound quality will be identical to what you heard while recording. If the connection icon is green (on StethAssist™ or Cardioscan®), try increasing the audio volume by pressing the "+" on the stethoscope.
If the "play to PC" checkbox is checked, then the sound will be played via the PC speakers instead of the stethoscope. Because of the low frequency sounds involved in auscultation, computer speakers (especially native laptop speakers) may have very poor audio response giving the impression that sounds are not playing. If "play to PC" is selected, the use of headphones typically works well. Desktop speakers will allow you to hear the recording, but will typically distort the low frequency sounds. The best alternative for playing the recorded sounds to an audience is to use a speaker system with midlevel speakers and a subwoofer.
How do I transfer sounds to a PC and can I transmit and receive sounds securely?
The sound files are transferred via Bluetooth® communication. Bluetooth® is a secure method of file transfer. Files transferred via Bluetooth are encrypted and can only be read by the PC that is connected to the 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 stethoscope.
How Do I Connect my 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 to StethAssist™ using Bluetooth?
In order to transfer data between two Bluetooth® devices, they must first be "paired" electronically. Pairing is a discovery and authentication process that allows your Bluetooth® equipped Littmann® Model 3200 stethoscope to communicate with another Bluetooth® equipped device and establishes the link between these two devices as a trusted pair. While StethAssist can remember trusted pairing with up to eight different Bluetooth® devices, it will only communicate with one paired device at a time. In addition, you cannot pair a Littmann® Model 3200 with a second Littmann® Model 3200.
Once paired, the Littmann® Model 3200 can connect to the PC running StethAssist. Select the CONNECT option by pressing and releasing the (M) button. The LCD screen will signal that the Bluetooth® link is active. The stethoscope will automatically return to operational status.
How do I clean my 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 stethoscope?
Your Littmann stethoscope is designed to provide years of reliable service. We recommend following our stethoscope cleaning and care (link to guidelines) guidelines to keep your Littmann in optimal condition.
How do I install the 3M™ Littmann® StethAssist™ Heart & Lung Visualization Software?
First, insert the USB Bluetooth® adaptor (dongle) into your PC. Next, place the StethAssist™ CD in the CD-ROM of your PC and follow on-screen instructions for installation and stethoscope connection. If the installation process does not start automatically, click on the Setup.exe file on the CD. If using a work computer, contact your IT Department to install the software on your computer. Once installed, the software will guide you through the pairing and connecting process.
What is StethAssist™?
StethAssist™ is software intended to be used with the 3M™ Littmann® Model 3200 electronic stethoscope for the recording and display of heart sounds and other physiological acoustic signals. StethAssist™ works with the Littmann® Model 3200, and runs on a PC meeting the specified requirements.
How durable are the electronic stethoscopes?
The 3M™Littmann® Model 3100 and Littmann® Model 3200 were subjected to splash tests, drop tests, cleaning tests, button press tests and other rigorous testing to ensure it could withstand even the toughest conditions. The chestpiece's solid, cast-metal construction and durable chrome finish can stand up to years of wear and tear. The Littmann® Model 3100 and Littmann® Model 3200 are validated to operate at -22°F to 104°F (-30°C to 40°C) and a relative humidity range of 15 - 93%.
Every time I turn on the stethoscope, I have to change the amplification. Can I set a different default amplification level?
Yes. Select the amplification level you would like to set as default. Press the M button, then press the "-" button until SET VOL is selected, and then press the M button again. The default amplification has now been changed to the new level and is indicated by a small mark in the vertical line next to the volume bars.
Every time I turn on the stethoscope, I have to change the filter type (Bell or Diaphragm). Can I set a different default filter type?
Yes. Select the filter type you would like to set as default. Press the M button, then press the "-" button until SET FLTR is selected, and then press the M button again. The default filter type has now been changed to the new selection.
Will the Littmann® Model 3100 and Littmann® Model 3200 work on Infants and small children?
The Littmann® Model 3100 and Littmann® Model 3200 were designed to auscultate people of all sizes, including infants and small children. The acoustic sensor is 15mm in diameter, about the size of a small button or dime and is located in centre of the chestpiece. Therefore, when auscultating a patient, you only need to be concerned about making contact with the very centre of the chestpiece to achieve optimal sound quality.
Why does the heart rate display appear inconsistently?
When trying to obtain the heart rate of a patient, it is important that the very centre of the chestpiece is making good contact with the patient, as this is the location of the sound sensor. It takes five seconds of consistent heart sounds to compute the initial heart rate and updates are provided every two seconds. The heart rate will then be displayed for 10 seconds after removal of the chestpiece from the patient. Prior to the initial reading, the display shows two dashes (--).For heart rates outside a range of 30-199 bpm, the display will also show two dashes (--).
The acoustic-based heart rate display functions best when the Littmann® Model 3100 or Model 3200 is placed near the apex of the patient's heart and can be monitored while using any filter mode and/or volume level. If the heart rate changes from consistent to inconsistent or if there is excessive ambient noise, patient movement or lung sounds during auscultation, the heart rate will display two dashes (--). With practice, your ability to obtain a heart rate from your patient will improve. The heart rate feature was designed and validated for us on humans.
Can I engrave my stethoscope?
While 3M does not provide engraving services, several Littmann® retailers will engrave your stethoscope. Please consult with our retailers directly.
Where do I find pricing information?

LOL, they claim grill surfaces are 'unsanitary'
I don't care what they claim. Nothing can survive 600-700 degrees of heat. Anyway, I only use the sheets on the lower grate for easy clean up. They also generate quite a bet of smoke. That makes them convenient and functional in my book.
I know that you're a charcoal fan; I've also used them on my charcoal grill. They make clean up easy, and they won't allow small lumps to fall through the grate.
I just thought it was funny that they're trying to hawk their product with such a blatant lie. Anyway, I also use 2 grates 90 degrees to each other. Just MHO but my Weber Platinum is plenty easy to clean with a flick of the one touch mechanism. Using this is just unnecessary but I'm sure it has its fans with gassers.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/6/2012 (1894 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Free Press asked a number of community leaders to comment on the growing gap between rich and poor. Is it getting better or worse? What has changed since the 1919 General Strike?
Lloyd Axworthy
president, University of Winnipeg
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 was an event of cataclysmic importance, reported around the world as a forerunner of revolution in the post-First World War western world. It was a violent confrontation between class and ethnic forces, an epic struggle between haves and have-nots.
Today it is only dimly remembered.
Most Winnipeggers could barely tell you the cause or outcome. Yet its legacy reaches across the 93-year divide to remind us that the issues that were fought out long ago on the streets of Winnipeg have not been fully resolved.
The divide between rich and poor still exists, if in a different guise and less incendiary atmosphere. Since the general strike, there have been significant improvements in labour laws and creation of a basic social safety net. But the reality of poverty in our city persists, in some ways in a more pernicious fashion because it is more invisible than it was nine decades ago.
It doesn't have to be that way in this prosperous, well-endowed city. It shouldn't be that we indifferently permit a poverty trap to exist that saps the energy and talent of so many of our young. The 1919 strike should tell us that poverty doesn't just destroy the poor, it erodes the whole community and cannot be tolerated for long.
David Northcott
Winnipeg Harvest executive director
A low-income person in 1919 would likely live in unsafe, unsanitary housing, work long hours for low pay, not be able to afford adequate, nutritious food, die earlier because of lack of nutrition and other factors.
Many of the aims of the strikers, which seemed impossible at the time, have been achieved: medicare, Employment Insurance, the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement.
The welfare system was supposed to provide a basic income floor for all Manitobans. But it does not provide enough money for recipients to pay their shelter costs and buy adequate, nutritious food.
Even those who work hard at full-time minimum-wage jobs cannot afford to feed themselves and their children.
A low-income person in 2012 likely lives in unsafe, unsanitary housing, works long hours for low pay, is not able to afford adequate, nutritious food (and) will die earlier because of lack of nutrition and other factors.
We are moving slowly to a more equitable society, but are we more loving? To make real progress towards social justice and equity, today's Winnipeggers will have to dream as big and act as boldly as did the Winnipeggers of 1919.
John Buhler
businessman and philanthropist
How do you balance the bank president thinking he's worth $10 million a year to someone eking out a living for his family at $40,000? That spread has to change. We need to decide what's important and what's fair.
I think it goes back to what we teach our kids. We need to teach them what's necessary. Here I am giving away millions, and here I am saving the last crust of bread. We can't spend more than we have. We're headed for longer bread lines. It'll happen again.
Sister Maria Vigna
co-executive director, Rossbrook House
Unfortunately, all too often, the normal milestones of growing up are burdened, compounded and even interrupted by the ravages of poverty. Unemployment, poor housing, racism and unsafe neighbourhoods deeply impact the day-to-day life of children and youth -- the most vulnerable in our society.
While growing up can hold some wondrous moments, we all know that it also bears its own unique challenges. It takes a lot of energy to navigate through its lessons, to push open the realm of becoming. This energy is dissipated when children, youth and their families must struggle to meet the most basic of human needs and when every day holds uncertainty.
The inherent right of children to have what they need to grow up safe, strong and nourished, to participate in the shaping of their own life story is so often compromised and eroded. Ensuring that not one among us ever goes without food or shelter is a matter of justice and a call to honour the dignity of each one.
Bob Silver
businessman and co-owner of the Winnipeg Free Press
It seems that the gap between the very wealthy and very poor is widening. Perhaps it just seems so in some instances because some of the newly very wealthy have become so obvious and indeed obnoxious in showing that wealth.
Wealth has become the end instead of the means to a better end for many and wealth has increasingly become the measure of success instead of what that wealth can create or what the individual has contributed to society. The gap is different across the globe but does exist. Having said that, it is wrong to assume that any individual with enough desire, energy, work ethic and attitude cannot bridge that gap.
It may be far more difficult for some than others but I believe in countries like Canada, it is not impossible. We will probably never eliminate the greed, selfishness or ego but we should never stop trying nor use that as an excuse to not try to succeed.
Jim Silver
University of Winnipeg professor and chair, Urban and Inner-City Studies
Poverty was deep and destructive in Winnipeg's North End in the decades before and after 1919. Wages were low. Housing was overcrowded. Communicable diseases were rampant. Racism was directed at Eastern European workers. The blame for the North End's problems was attributed to their moral failings. The area's rich and vibrant culture was unknown beyond the North End. Governments refused to invest in solutions, which historian Alan Artibise attributed to "the failure of Winnipeg's leadership to develop a mature social conscience." But it was a long time ago, eh?
Not so. A housing crisis still plagues the low-income residents of the North End and, now, much broader inner city. Health problems of all kinds are much worse here than elsewhere in Winnipeg. Racism persists, directed today at the area's aboriginal residents. Blame continues to be directed at the supposed moral failings of the poor. The many strengths of this community remain largely unknown. And with some important exceptions, governments still refuse to invest sufficient amounts to solve inner-city problems, although the solutions are now well-known.
Today, as was the case a century ago, Winnipeg remains a segregated city -- spatially, socially and economically. The costs, both in human and financial terms, of our continued "failure to develop a mature social conscience" are too high. We would all benefit if this were to change.

"I was very pleased with the engagement party invitations. I added a photo on the back with the couple's wedding website printed below the picture. I also added last names on the front instead of just first names. The text was clear and easy to read, which seemed to be a problem with some of the other invitations I received samples of. I liked getting a proof to confirm before they were printed. They also arrived quickly before the estimated date! Very happy with the invitation!"
"The invitations were exactly as displayed on the website. The paper and printing quality was excellent. I highly recommend this product and would be happy to place another order with Wedding Paper Divas."
"I ordered this invitation for two of my friends' engagement parties and it was so great. I customized the card with their names, and the proof came back exactly how I wanted it. The card was delivered on time, and the fitted rectangular envelopes didn't require any extra postage."
"Absolutely loved this card! So classy and the paper quality is great!! And it was delivered so fast (ordered rush shipping though, but came before it was supposed to!)"
"We chose this invite for our Engagement Party because we thought it was fun and casual which is what we were looking for. We received a lot of compliments on the invites."

HOUSTON - Shopping carts stacked with piles of presents were pushed around the Sam's Club on Rice Avenue Wednesday morning by the better halves of NFL athletes in Houston, both former and current.
"We have wives from all teams supporting us today here in Houston, as well as across the nation," said Tammara McDonald, wife of former Cincinnati Bengal Ricardo McDonald.
Teaming up with the Salvation Army, the wives carried on a tradition that started six years ago.
This year, they shared in a shopping spree with a total of $20,000 to spend on twenty local families in need of a little help for the holidays.
"We were given this platform to make a difference, and we take joy in doing that," said McDonald.
"For us it's also a great reminder that we have 30,000 other local children in the greater Houston region who have signed up for Christmas gifts, who are really depending on the support we receive from the community to have a Merry Christmas this year," said Juan Alanis of the Salvation Army.
Ideally, how they spent a day could make someone's year.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"This invitation was exactly what we were looking for! It has our wedding colors on it. I love how you can personalize it with whatever font you like. We ordered it on the shimmery paper and loved the turnout. Can't wait to get them ready and send them out! Thank you Wedding Paper Divas! They are beautiful."
"I really liked this design, but I was nervous that it would be hard to communicate my tweaks without meeting someone in person. I made a couple of tweaks, and the team was able to complete all of them and they made the product even better than I was thinking. Really easy process and the took minimal effort on my end!"
"The paper was nice, but not super thick (which is what we wanted). The printing looks very nice. The font is on the smaller side, but it was exactly what we expected. Also you are able to adjust the text size if you ask the designer."
"This is a beautiful card. The branch theme wraps around to the back. The font used is pretty and formal, but not hard to read."

Color by Cynde Watson Translucent Finishing Pressed Powder with Kabuki Brush
I have combination skin which gets very oily and shiny in my T-zone area. I judge how well a powder works for me based on how this area looks about mid day after applying first thing in the AM, and then how much more I need to get me through the end of the day, in addition to how it makes my skin look and how it feels on my skin. With this powder I was very impressed with not only how well it kept the shine down, but how nice and finished my face looked, whether I applied foundation/tinted moisturizer first or not. On most days after using this powder, by the afternoon I just needed a small reapplication, which took me through the end of the work day. The color of the powder itself is white in the case, but translucent on the skin. This was great because it was "goof proof" to get a flattering match to my skin tone*. There is no real fragrance to speak of and it has a nice texture. The powder was smooth going on the brush and silky on my skin. The finished look was matte, but with a nice brightening effect, so that it did not look like a mask. It was also easy to take along in my day or evening bag with the retractable kabuki brush and the magnetic closure on the powder case. Cynde has a great product here! *Note: You must use the powder according to these instructions: sweep the brush onto the powder, then sweep on the back of the hand to diffuse the particles further. Then apply to the t-zone first sweeping outwards to the rest of the face. If you apply the powder straight from the brush on to the face you will get a whitesh cast on your face which will also be prominent if you have darker brown skin.


text: Sorry I have been absent on the forum for the last several days...still trying to recover from the trip to TX...plus work has been keeping me busy. Anyways, I whipped up a smoked meatloaf the other night when we got back from Austin. For the breadcrumbs, I always use ground up croutons. Gives it great flavor. I learned that trick from Alton Brown. Also added in some minced onions, carrots, celery, eggs, worcestershire, dijon mustard, stubbs bbq sauce and other seasonings. The meat was a mixture of ground beef, veal and pork. Sauced with a mixture of stubbs, dijon and honey. Turned out great!

SEC's Top 25 players: No. 13 Cyrus Kouandjio
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 8, 2013 at 7:23 p.m.
Gatorsports.com counts down this season's standout players in the nation's toughest conference.
No. 13 Cyrus Kouandjio
Position: Offensive line
School: Alabama
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 310 pounds
Year: Junior
Why he's No. 13: One of two starters returning on Alabama's offensive line, Kouandjio will be counted on to protect starting quarterback A.J. McCarron's blind side again in 2013. He started all 13 games for Alabama in 2012, blocking for eight individual 100-yard rushing performances. In pass protection, Kouandjio allowed just 3.5 sacks as a first-year starter. He graded out at 90 percent or better in six games last season: Florida Atlantic, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Western Carolina and Auburn. A former Parade All-American, Kouandjio has a strong combination of size, speed and nimble feet and projects as a future NFL first-round pick.
