Nice Dagmars.
My mother was in college in Michigan then, and, rather distractingly, the woman in the photo looks a lot like she does in photographs from that time. Mom and the lady in the photo definitely had the same coloration, hairdo, and wardrobe. However, mom wouldn't very likely have been at any high-falutin' University of Michigan frat party, as she was a city girl attending Wayne University (today Wayne State U.) about 40 miles away in Detroit.
And perhaps I just have Mom on my mind, since today is her 84th birthday.
Not sure if these kids were really any better behaved than the kids these days, but they sure dressed better.
Certainly far from a snapshot. There is fantastic lighting used here. There are many light sources used and the placement of the subjects were masterly done.
but she's absolutely smokin'!
I guess she's about 83 or so by now. What a hottie!
Philippe Mather's recently-published book on this phase of Kubrick's career ("Stanley Kubrick at Look Magazine: Authorship and Genre in Photojournalism and Film") indicates that it depicts an informal party at the Theta Xi frat house, where co-ed "Pat Crotty lights Buzz Durant's cigaret [sic]." Apparently the human interest angle was that men usually did this for women, not vice versa.
That house is just up the hill from the spot where I disembarked from a city bus every weekday morning en route to law school.
comes to mind and refuses to leave. He was 23 at this time and just 4 years away from issue #1.
The tortures through which women's breasts were put by the dictates of glamour in those days continue to astound. She's clearly wearing a "circle stitch" bra. I was a young adult before I discovered it is possible to dance with a young woman and not suffer injury to one's sternum.
This was a pretty sparse and intimate gathering for a "frat party" but today's standards are a world away. Still, if you ask me (and nobody did ask me) I'd say it was a 'make-out and smokin' party' (no food and no drinks) Of course with Kubrick directing, the whole picture could have been staged for the magazine as his creativity could not be stifled.
Great flame. Peggy Lee would approve.
First thing I thought of was this shot my brother took in May 1955 at a party with his high school friends. Unfortunately, he was no Kubrick technique-wise, but it captures the feel, I think. Plus we have goose-neck bullet lamps.
Remove most clothes and add loud modernist classical music, and you've got "Eyes Wide Shut."

No regrets.
I think there are two principles that govern the course of our lives.
The first principle, and for most of us the default one, is one where we continuously recreate our past. We recreate the past in the present by recalling it.... and the consequence of this is that our future becomes a reflection of our past. When we harbour regrets we are simply reinforcing those aspects of our lives that we don't like.
Everything that gets created gets created in the present moment.... the past and the future are just mental constructs - our memory and our imagination. But when we allow our present to be clouded by past memories this is the juice that is fueling our life. When we allow ourselves to become hostage to our past thought patterns we might think we are OK and having fun, but we are about as free as lab. rats spinning in their wheels.
The second principle is transcendence – we can transcend the consequences we have put into motion. Cause and effect are suspended. Past actions do not become manifested in future outcomes. The past, no matter what it has been, is no longer a dynamic that must play itself out. Not only do we recognize the past is over, it is no longer at issue. We are able to re-create our lives anew.
In spiritual traditions these two principles are often called "Karma" and "Grace." Karma, a Sanskrit word that translates to action, is the notion that until the past is complete, resolved, made right, we will repeat past patterns. Karma is something we must "work out." We are burdened by our faulty past actions and cannot move ahead unless we resolve the past. Creating "good karma" is like putting something in the karmic bank that might be redeemable in the future. Psychotherapists and self-help gurus have a field day with this one - there's always rich pickings for ego archaeologists in revisiting the scenes of past crimes.
Transcendence is something entirely different. Transcendence (Grace) supersedes the past. Past actions no longer need to be accounted for. We are freed from the influence of the past. It's not as if the past never happened; we simply do not need to do anything about it. The dynamic that compels us to want to resolve open issues, unsettled experiences, unanswered questions, is gone. The train has switched to another track. The future is no longer connected to the past.
Dickens' A Christmas Carol and the biblical story of The Prodigal Son are two stories that illustrate the difference between these two principles of 'recreating the past' and transcendence.
In 'A Christmas Carol', Scrooge sees his past, his current life, and his probable future, and yet he is given a second chance. His past actions were leading unavoidably to negative consequences. When he awakes on Christmas morning the past is no longer in play. He was given the chance to turnover a new leaf. He could start afresh. This is one of the most profound experiences a person can have, that of being given a second chance.
The 'Prodigal Son' story involves three main characters: the prodigal or wayward son; the 'good' son; and the father. Each character represents an aspect of the human mind. The father can be understood to represent the source of our life. The prodigal son is that part of ourselves that has not been true to our source. The good son represents the times we have been true to source, our authentic Self.
Since the prodigal has made mistakes, gotten into trouble, has failed to live up to his promise, the logical consequences of his past actions would be to suffer the consequences he had set in motion. Yet he remembers he has a home, and he sets out to return to it. He does so without expectation and with true humility. He seeks nothing by his return. To gain insight into the principle of transcendence we need to understand this motivation. He is not attempting to resolve the past. He isn't trying to make it right or "work it out." He simply wants to return home.
When the father hears of the prodigal's return, he is overjoyed. You can see the great longing of the father to reunite with the prodigal. There is something in us that wants to reunite with what is deepest in us, the source of our life, so to speak. For some this is God or our true Self, for others it is a personal drive to create, for others, it is the recognition and merging with universe consciousness, etc., etc. We do not need to have a common understanding of what "the source" is to understand the deeper principles in this story. However, we do need to understand that the father's motivation is a longing to reconnect, overwhelming love, and total acceptance. The father decides to hold a feast for the prodigal's return.
The "good" son is angry when he hears of this celebration. After all, he has worked the fields, done his father's bidding, and lived a life above reproach. This is an interesting reversal in the story. Can we imagine what it was like for the father to learn of the prodigal's return? If we truly cared about the father, we wouldn't complain that we weren't getting our due. Instead, we would feel joy about the father's joy. But the "good" son isn't thinking about others. His orientation is of payback. The good deeds he has accomplished suddenly seem as if he had mixed motives. They were not done for their own sake or for the sake of the father, but for some type of return on investment. He would deny the prodigal's return to the father. It's not too difficult to see this motivation at play in many of our religions today.
The longing of the source and the desire of the prodigal to reunite is a very powerful force in play. Yet, ironically, the "good" son/daughter parts of ourselves reject the reunion. The transcendent principle in this story is this: We want to come home to ourselves, the deepest aspects of ourselves wants this too, and yet there is a part of us. the "good" son/daughter part, that seeks "to remain in the principle of Karma," to resolve the past. With transcendence, the past no longer needs resolution, even while it remains unresolved.
One cannot "earn" transcendence. Robert Frost called it "Something you somehow haven't to deserve." No matter what the past has been, no matter what consequences we have set in motion, we can start again, as if life is saying to us, "Okay, take two. Let's try that again." This is a hard notion to groc, in a similar way it is hard for some people to easily accept a gift they feel they don't deserve. So, the irony is that, while there is nothing we can do to evoke transcendence, we do have to learn how to accept it as a gift.[1]
Neither Scrooge nor the Prodigal Son needed to resolve their past, and had they tried to do so, they wouldn't have succeeded. Both were given a new chance in which the consequences they had set in motion in the past no longer needed to be played out.
We learn in A Christmas Carol that "Scrooge was as good as his words." Transcendence led to a new chain of cause and effect. After transcendence, we enter into a new state of consequences. In other words, the cause has changed, and of course, the effects - the life we create and our future, reflect this. What we create is no longer based on past thoughts but on Presence ... our source and connection to all of life.
Follow up post: No Regrets - Part 2
[1] In the second part of this post (No Regrets - Part 2) I'll look at what we can do to help ourselves accept the gift of transcendence.
[2] This inspiration for this post came from reading a very candid expose of Dave Pollard's own regrets in a post entitled What I regret most. There was not enough room in his comments section to say what I wanted to say, hense this and the follow up post.

So, I have not updated for a while. But today, that changes. Perhaps the most shocking aspect of this post is I have actually been doing things to blog about.
First of all, I went to Caribbean Bay and Everland with my friends a few weeks ago. And it was amazing. For those that do not know, Caribbean Bay is a water park and Everland is a theme park (both owned by Samsung I think). We managed to ride two things at Caribbean Bay. The Aqua Loop, which is amazing, and the Boomerang. I also spent a while lazing on the Lazy River with my friends. At Everland, we also rode two things. I forget what the first one was called, but the second was the T-Express. That was the most amazing and terrifying ride I have ever been on. The drops are insane.
Apart from this, I went to a local cat café which was good fun. I spent about an hour petting some cats before we left because my friends have allergies. I have since been back, but it was a lot busier then and I didn't really pet any cats. They were sort of freaked out by some young kids.
For the 4th of July, some of my American friends have invited me to celebrate with them. We will be doing it a week late though, as one of them is being made to go on a school trip this Saturday. I am pretty excited about it. Being a Brit means I have never actually celebrated it before and it should be good fun. Plus, I'll do my best to tease them about being American because Britain.

Anyway, that is about all I have to update you on now. I am basically spending my time counting down. It is now under a month until I go to visit Hayley and I am super excited about it. 27 days and counting.

Preserve the concinnity of English, caterwauls American university
Re: Sesquipedalian Bollocks.
No, the "gentrification" example doesn't show that using "obscure" words is the road to faceloss, it just gives an example of a bloviating politician. "Gentrification" is well-established, and very widely used in the neighbourhoods it threatens.
I think the silly 'protect the words' outcry is based very much on illogic: English has more words than any other language, ergo no thanks we've got enough, the borders are closed, first fully employ the ones we already have; plus now a push to become a one-person verbodiversity hotspot... Clearly (and tested), English speakers do not use more words on average (and the Sun doesn't use less diverse words than the Times) --- it is just spoken as first or second language by a vastly more diverse population than any other language; a Raj colonial infuses words he picks up locally, and a Jamaican injects some patois...
Then there's the simple fact that few words have a fixed, official 'meaning'; "stink" used to mean "smell", and now "smell" tends to be negative as well ("what's that smell?", not "smell the flowers!").

Call of Duty, GTA V do not make youth more violent
Re: spoonerism?
As for 'unsurprising study' --- the decline in youth violence seems to be mostly down to falling environmental lead levels (basically since 'unleaded fuel' became obligatory), as it seems exposure in your infancy just screws your neural nets and primes your for unrestrained behaviour later.
The peak and fall of youth violence (globally, wherever crime statistics are available) lags a decade a half after the peak and fall of environmental lead levels. (The causal link evidence is not much stronger than that, but it's everywhere precisely repeated, pretty much independent of economy, climate and society.)
So it seems to me that the violence of videogames causes either some more, a little less, or the same amount of violence --- but is a far weaker trend than the global violence trend. However, you can study separate individuals as you know those who play or not, since when, and you can make them switch habits (for pay, for a while); in the 'lead' situation, all are in the same cohort and there's no control group. [Yeah, some far-off tribe without petrol perhaps --- but they also have a completely different society so no use for comparison.]

Monster croc 'the BALROG' tussles with mighty Titanoboa snake
"current" at 4000lbs?
2000lbs would be nearer the mark, or have you found some obese merrikan saltie? Longest croc in captivity (read: 'not made up in tall tale') was 20ft 3in "Lolong", at 2300 lbs. And being well-fed & under-exercised (='captivity'), I struggle to believe 2 extra feet will double the weight.
E.g. a 7.5m Anaconda's preserved skin has been stretched to 10+m --- so you need either verified live measurements or a full skeleton; skin isn't that trustworthy and stories even less. I'm a bit mystified by the Titanoboa's measurements, at 12m & 1200kg --- heaviest extant snakes (green anacondas) reaching only about 100kg for 8m (pythons longer but skinnier), so upscaling that shape by 50% (weight x 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.5 for 3D = about 340kg) doesn't get you nearly there... The main scaling issue is that muscle force scales as second order (=diameter of muscles) while weight as third order, so you have insects on hair-thin legs but elephants on massive pillars. These muscles then all need massive organs to supply them, and these oversized organs need extra muscles (and internal strength/skeleton to keep them from being crushed) to support.
Long story short, if you're near the limits of what is physiologically possible to survive, you need to eat smaller prey to not cross the line (destroy yourself by sudden movements, e.g. when defending yourself) --- and you'd still be a sitting duck with your stomach full (which pythons often are).

How to catch a fraudster – using 'top cop' Benford and the power of maths
Re: Benford...
Zipf' Law is a generalization of Benford's (and older if I recall --- think Zipf based his work on Pareto / the Pareto Principle).
Anyway, the whole "River" explanation seemed a bit overly long to me; a comparison closer to home so to speak is with the snaking "rivers" we live at: streets.
So, why are more people living at house numbers beginning with 6 than with 7? Because every street with a no. 7 has a no.6, with a number 70 has a number 60--69, with a number 700 has a number 600--699; but conversely there are some streets that have 60-something numbers (maybe not all!) but stop before reaching 79; and those that do reach 79 may end between 601 and 799. [In the UK the set of 1000+ numbered houses is negligible.] There is more streets that reach the 100s than the 200s, so
A street with houses 1--199 has more than 50% people living in a number starting on 1, about 5% starting on 2, 3, .. 9. A street with houses 1--299 has over 33% in 1.., over 33% in 2.., and the rest equally split over the remaining 7. And so forth... There's more streets ending in the 300s than in the 400s, more ending in the 200s than the 300s, etc.
As with rivers, the causes of street length (and house number density) are myriad unrelated factors, mostly geographical, political, etc... hence Zipf applies.

Re: Fake Corporation science
I guess everybody's favourite should be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley,_Jr. --- he who helped invent a lead-based anti-'knocking' compound that was marketed as 'Ethyl', carefully not mentioning 'lead' anywhere.
There were grave concerns about its safety in general and hazardous work conditions in particular (what with employees falling dead with lead poisoning, left right and center); he showed how safe it all was by painting his hands in the stuff and inhaling its vapours etc for the assembled press (reminds me of ministers eating beef after Mad Cow scares). Then he silently went to Europe to recover from acute lead intoxication.
There was last week a BBC article on the significant correlation between atmospheric lead concentration and crime levels --- it seems neurological damage around birth can lead to criminal lifestyles around your 20s (presumably, mental impairment causing unemployable school dropouts).
Having contributed massively to atmospheric pollution, he decided to up the ante and invented CFCs, like Freon for fridges, and succeeded in creating the hole in the ozone layer. A man for all seasons, truly.
Re: Questions do not tie up with the headline assumption
I had absolutely the same reaction: Several questions I would never truthfully answer "extremely confident". I might answer it after gauging the intent of the survey, mitigating the "OMG! USAians are EEJITS!" headlines.
How confident are you that the universe 13.8 billion years old? Not confident enough to come up with the number --- something between 12 and 15 I thought. If numbers are revised to 11.7billion or 17.1billion, my world view is not going to be shaken in any way whatsoever.
Similarly, how confident are you that childhood vaccines are safe? Not extremely confident: There can be a contamination discovered a few months from now, for the injection I'm now approving for my toddler. And for every few thousand lives saved, some vaccines kill or maim a few extremely unfortunate kids through complications/allergies/... (presumably slightly more than get killed in the car driving towards their vaccinations). So do I think on balance that they're a good idea to use? Yes, I'm extremely confident.

Apple to flush '£37bn' down the bog if it doesn't flog cheapo slabtops
Re: apple .... cheap
With my first budget to get a laptop in 2000, the clamshell iBook was by far the best choice (what punishment that thing has suffered!), so I left the pc world (temporarily).
MacMini has always been cheap... A few clones appeared at the same price or higher, that was it; self-built comes to a very similar price for a worse-looking, worse-finished, warranty-less thing.
The original iPods weren't cheap, but comparable competitors (Creative Zen, etc) did cost the same or more.

The Channel-Formerly-Known-As-The-History-Channel (now it's branded "History" tout court, since at least 5years) is known for its shoddy documentaries, and presentation of away-with-the-fairies stuff as fact.
Case in point: My wife thought she bought the "Rome" series (as seen on BBC). Not so, it was similarly titles and from History. After a good fistful of strong drinks it becomes funny to watch. Apparently, the famous legions AND their opponents, throughout Roman history, consisted of the same two dozen of Baltic reenactors; Rome's enemies wore over time three different hats, shields and swords (so, using all combinations, 27 different enemy armies can be made). Similar for the locals, the same five people with varying hats and dresses. Every battle was lead by the XX Legion, even as the voiceover says e.g. only the VI and VIII were involved (I'm making up numbers here -- I only remember the XX as that was what I saw). They only fought in three different locations: A clearing in a forest, a forest path along a stream, and a village. And so on.

Re: Foldable British 3 pin mains plugs...
My £10 Nokia came with a foldable-like-this UK charger (all black -- the red is a good warning of the fragility of this one)... Of course it does not need earth so the plastic pin is no problem.
Why would such a connector not work with a laptop charger? They don't need earth (I had a Toshiba with earth, but that's 10-15y ago).
The UK connectors always try to fall with their teeth up, trying to spear unshod feet; the round EU ones fall on their sides... It's typical maximum-mysery UK design. Have you noticed UK bathrooms are always the coldest room in the house, presumably because it's the only one where you're naked?

I always wonder what those are doing inside the machine: It's better to have the minimum of dust inside there, so why not keep that rather insensitive block outside?

Re: Biodegradable? More: what's the rest's charge?
Are fungi and bacteria the only negatively charged cells and molecules going around? Is the rest neutral or positively charged? Are there other baddies that are not
The whole thing balances on relative timescales and abundances: If you're dying from MRSA then this stuff destroying e.g. all vitamins it comes across is a fair tradeoff --- provided it biodegrades away in hours, and effectively kills MRSA in the hours before. If it scoops up only the odd MRSA here and there while wreaking wholescale destruction on the balance of other things, and then persist for months before biodegradation, then that's not so superior. "Biodegradation" implies your body is actively attacking it, so it's not 'neutral'.

Which meant that I started to worry his concrete air spring would spring a leak, so to say; just outside of the warranty period, leaving them sitting on solid bedrock. Not sure how they'd send it in during warranty cover either.

That doesn't matter for comparison or analysis --- 20% more expensive stays 20% more expensive.
For acquisition, looking at any specific online offer (vendor/RAM/cost) as you would anyway if interested, that would let you pinpoint the scaling since the graph wouldn't overlap (from 60x scaling between minute and hour, down to 7x between day and week) with such a ballpark figure.

'The only Festival we know of that has an authentic, hand-hewn covered bridge as its front door... amazing!' Steve Madsen, US FESTIVAL NEWS
(PRWEB) January 22, 2014
It's January and folks at The Johnson City Folk Festival are already focused on September.
That's what happens when you have the proverbial Tiger By The Tail. That Tiger is The Johnson City Folk Festival, and as a regional force, its reach is growing by leaps and bounds.
What's not immediately evident - but clearly in the air - is the feeling by everyone in the region that this little start-up could very possibly be the next big "Festival" - the next big addition to the region's list of "cannot miss" Festivals for 2014.
The latest addition to the JCFF is the new 2014 Folk Festival Poster. It has been well received and downloaded hundreds of times since being posted on January 10th. The poster features the hand-made Covered Bridge that leads over Buffalo Creek into the Festival grounds.
The Covered Bridge is owned by The Farmhouse Gallery and Gardens on whose property the Folk Festival took place last season. The Festival will occur again this year at the Farmhouse Gallery and Gardens location. The Folk Festival dates are September 25, 26, 27 and 28
Plans are in the works as well for a dedicated digital or pirate radio station; a regular digital station is preferred, but the East Tennessee history of moonshine running and evading the revenue men means clearly nothing is out of the question.
Stay tuned.
The Meadow Stage is taking shape and the outdoor area will seat between 5,000 - 10,000; this means an opportunity for large-draw acts both locally and nationally. This also gives the Festival a 5 Stage capacity.
Submission forms are available and submissions will be accepted up to July 1st; entries received after that date will be reviewed for stand-by available spots only if the schedule is full.

I went out with the camera yesterday and took this photograph. It's just down the road a bit. It was the first time in a while that I've had mud on my boots. Quite pleased with this composition. I see quite a few scenes when I'm out in the car that I would like to photograph but with the roads round here being country ones, there's nowhere to stop.
Periodically I toy with the idea of getting a little motorbike specifically for camera outings but the thought of another system to feed and maintain puts me off, so for now it's going to be locations within walking distance or places where I can stop the car.

Have you accidentally deleted some work documents to an external hard drive or a USB stick and you're desperate because you do not know how to recover them? If you're a little luck, you may be able to solve the problem with Wise Data Recovery.
Wise Data Recovery is a free program for Windows that allows you to recover deleted files from hard drives, external drives and USB drives in an easy and fast way (assuming that the space previously occupied by the deleted files have not been rewritten). Supports Office documents, photos, videos and many other file types. Let's see how to recover deleted files from external hard drive using it.
If you want to discover how to recover deleted files from external hard drive, the first step you need to take is to connect to the Internet site of Wise Data Recovery and click the Download now button before and then on Download Now to download the program on your PC.
When the download is complete open, double clicking on it, the file you just downloaded (example cbsidlm-cbsi134-Wise_Data_Recovery-BP-75715872.exe) and in the window that opens, click on the first Yes and then click Next step, Decline twice in a row (to avoid the installation of additional promotional software) and install now. In the window that opens, click Next, accept the terms of use of the program by putting a check mark next to I accept the agreement and complete the installation by clicking Next on the first four consecutive times and then on Install and Finish.
READ ALSO: How to store files online
To recover deleted files from external hard disk with Wise Data Recovery, start the application by double-clicking its icon on the Windows desktop and click the Yes button.
In the window that opens, select the drive on the external hard disk to retrieve files using the drop down menu located in the upper left and click on the Scan button to start scanning the drive.
At the end of the procedure (the duration depends on the size of the disk), put the check mark next to the names of files to be restored and click Recover on the green button located at the bottom right. Next, select the folder to export the objects and click OK to complete the operation.
The only recoverable files are those covered by the green dot placed next to their name. If a document is deleted and does not appear in the list of files found by Wise Data Recovery, it means it can not be restored.
If you want a "second opinion" on the recoverable files from your external hard drive and try to maintain their recovery with another program, install Recuva.

reverse unique bid auction
Budget $300-1500 USD
Unique Bid Description.
I am looking for a programmer/designer to create a UNIQUE BID auction website/script. Some sites with a similar concept include: [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], auctions4acause.com.
Some of these sites use the lowest unique bid and some use the highest unique bid to determine the winner. Some of the sites use sealed bids and others use visable bids. I would like to have all of these options available in my website/script.
The site/script will need to have a powerful administration area that is completely user friendly. All of the code and and files MUST NOT BE ENCRYPTED so I can make changes and modifications in the future if needed.
Below you will find a detailed description of all the functions that the site/script administration area will require.
There should be a menu list going down the left side of the page with the following linkable options:
Go To Site
Manage Categories
Manage Auctions
Featured Auctions
Manage Pages
Manage Users
Manage Email
Manage Contact Us
Manage Feedback
Send Mail To All Users
Send Mail To Auction bidders

The following information will need to be available when viewing the current auctions. This information needs to be in a table that is easy to understand and use:
1.) The auction title/name.
2.) The auction format.
3.) The minimum/maximum bid amount.

Manage Pages:
This area will be used for adding and editing information on the different pages of the site. This area will need a WYSIWYG editor that supports HTML for inputing the page information.
Manage Users:
This area will be used to manage the registered users of the site. The information about each user should be arranged in a table containing the following:
1.) User: this should contain the users ID #, the users email address, the users IP address, and the status of the user.
2.) Login details: This should include the date the users account was created, the date the user modified their account, and the users last login date.

2.) Forgot password: Email telling the user their password.
3.) Successful bid: Tells the user their bid on (auction) at (auctionsite) was accepted and that their bid was unique.
4.) Successful bid: Tells the user their bid on (auction) at (auctionsite) was accepted but that their bid was not unique.
5.) Bid status change: Tells the user their bid on (auction) at (auctionsite) is no longer a unique bid.

Send Mail To Auction Bidders:
This area will be used to send emails to bidders of a specific auction. The current auctions will need to be selectable from here. This area will need a WYSIWYG editor that supports HTML for sending out these emails.
Manage Payments:
This area will be used to manage all payments made to the site. You should be able to view all payments made to the site by all users as well as all payments made to the site from a specific user.
Manage Payment Settings:
This area will be used to manage the payment options available on the site. When the user deposits funds into their account they should be able to select any of these payment processors:
1.) [url removed, login to view]
2.) [url removed, login to view]
3.) [url removed, login to view]
4.) [url removed, login to view]
These payment processors need to be incorporated into the site so when they select the payment processor it automaticly redirects them to the site to complete their deposit. I also need to be able to add fees for the user to make the deposit. These fees will be the same fee that the payment processor will be charging the site to accept the payment. Example: PayPal charges 2.9% + .29 per transaction. So if the user decides to make their deposit via paypal, a 2.9% +.29 fee will be added to complete the transaction. I will also need a way to add new payment processors in the future.
Manage Administration Settings:
This area should be an overview of all the other options in the administration area.
View Logs:
This area will be used to track all visitors on the site. This should be in the form of a table and should show the location, country, IP address, pagename, and page visited.
Manage Advertising:
This area will be used to add and remove advertisers on the site. There should be advertising at the top of the page in the form of a banner. There should also be advertising down the right side of the site pages. These advertisements will need to be rotated in time intervals. I am not really sure what the standards are for this, so I will be open to suggestions here.

The design of the site will need to go along with a logo that I have already created. The initial site design can be very simple and generic as I plan to have a much more dynamic appearence created at a later date.
Please review everything carefully and let me know if this is something you can do for the budget proposed. I am also open to any of programmers suggestions if you think I have forgotten or left anything out. If you alredy have a similar script I would like to see a demo in your pm.

If fog bothers you, visit the hills of Himachal Pradesh
If the fog in the northern plains is screening out the sun, then step into Himachal Pradesh and visit its hills where the sun is regularly shining these days.punjab Updated: Jan 17, 2016 17:18 IST
If the fog in the northern plains is screening out the sun, then step into Himachal Pradesh and visit its hills where the sun is regularly shining these days.
The weather in Himachal's hill destinations of Shimla, Kasauli, Chail, Kufri, Dharamshala, Palampur and Manali is sunny and perfect for a break from the biting chill of the plains, weather officials said on Sunday.
Manmohan Singh, director of Shimla's meteorological department, told IANS that the hill stations these days were having pleasant weather owing to long sunny days compared to the plains.
"The maximum temperature in the hills is 2-5 degrees above normal these days," he said.
Most of the hill destinations have had high or close to day temperature compared to the plains, he said.
"This is a normal phenomenon as there are long sunny days in the hills compared to the plains where there is plenty of fog," he said.
Humidity level of 70 percent or more causes fog. In the plains, he said, it was almost 100 percent. However, in the hills it is between 30 and 40 percent.
Singh said this trend would continue in the hills till the western disturbances -- storm systems originating from the Caspian Sea and moving across the Afghanistan-Pakistan region -- would be active in the region.
"This week there is no chance of rain or snow in the entire region," he added.
In Shimla, located around 7,000 feet above sea level, the minimum temperature was 4.4 degrees Celsius.
The night temperature in Dharamsala was 6.2 degrees Celsius, whereas popular tourist resort Manali saw a low of minus 2 degrees.
At 9.2 degrees below freezing point, Keylong in Lahaul-Spiti district was the coldest in the state. Kalpa, some 250 km from the state capital, saw a low of 1.6 degrees Celsius.
"It's pleasant to be in the hills when the plains are foggy," said Rajiv Srivastava, a tourist from Delhi. "Even the nights are pleasant in Shimla," his wife Isha added.

Japanese Gamers Want to Try Before They Buy PlayStation Vita
The PlayStation Vita isn't selling as well as anyone expected in Sony's homeland. It's selling, so things aren't that bleak, and it's still new, but it's not exactly the money printer it deserves to be. Things take time, and it may take trying the Vita first for Japanese gamers to actually buy one.
According to a new survey polling Japanese gamers, the PlayStation Vita topped the list of devices they want to try, nabbing a total of 49% of the vote. The 3DS on the other hand, which was second place, mind you, didn't even have half of the Vita's score, sitting at a meager 19%. Also on that list was the PSP and DS (seriously, who hasn't tried these yet?), as well as Android-based smartphones and iOS devices.
We've been saying it all along, the PlayStation Vita's value isn't completely able to be understood by watching trailers and reading about it – you have to actually have it in your hands to comprehend just how good it is.
Once these gamers who want to try the Vita get to, chances are they're going to buy it. See? It's not all that bad for the Vita, at least it's not that "Other" device, I've never even heard of that one.

Look out filthy, disease-ridden factory farms: There's a new kid in town. An organization has surfaced to restore law and order, Wyatt Earp/Dodge City-style.
The Center to Expose and Close Animal Factories (CECAF) was launched April 30, with the objective to "achieve safe, sensible, and sustainable farming and ranching in America through policy development, public education, corporate pressure, community forums and advocacy partnerships." The launch of this group couldn't be more appropriate, considering that a Smithfield Foods swine operation is rumored to be ground zero in the recent H1N1 swine flu outbreak.
Attorneys and co-founders Charlie Speer and Richard Middleton plan to use the experience they gained from the more than 300 lawsuits they helped bring against industrial agriculture giants to mobilize communities in opposition of factory farms, which it says endangers the health of both humans and the environment. With an armory of regulatory, legal and legislative tools, CECAF is on a mission to end the inhumane and dangerous practices of confined animal feeding operations, or CAFOs.
Don't forget to sign up to receive e-mail updates on CECAF's progress.
I love the operative word in the first paragraph of MC's comment. FORCE. I for one am one of those people who will not let you use FORCE. Feel free to eat what you want. I will be free to eat what I want. You may hold the 'Normals' with contempt, that's OK, I hold you and your kind the same way. The nanny state and socialism state utopia you live in has failed all over the world. Get over it and grow up. And yes your soul is little. Ken
Anyone who has actually looked into the background and the TRUE origin of H1N1 will know that it is a man made virus. A couple of months ago, Baxter Pharmaceuticals "accidentally" mixed avian flu H5N1 with the current flu vaccine they were sending out. US mainstream media didn't talk about this much. Bottom line, when they mix, the Avian flu, which was previously not transferable human-to-human, is now transferable as well as can now mutate into something different. The swine flu was determined to be a combination of 3 different strains into one. The ONLY way that this is possible is if man put it together. So while this new organization may be helpful and use the swine flu as a kick off point, I think I want to see just what they are planning before assuming it is a good thing.
Exactly my point.
Yes it would be nice to see animals treated humanely everywhere. They are more happy and a happy critter is a tasty critter. And as for NAIS; it is still a terrible idea.
Put another way, we're winning. Slowly, maddeningly slowly, maybe even too slowly. But we are winning. Don't scr*w it up now. I understand the impatience. I understand the anger. I understand the fear. I'm impatient and angry and afraid too. Every time I look at my kids, I get more impatient, more angry, and more afraid. But for their sake, don't be so eager to eradicate the enemy that we end up in a blind bullcharge that costs us the war. Again. How many times can we afford to have to pull back, regroup, and start over???? How many more episodes of Ronnie Reagan ripping the solar panels off the roof and turning the garden back into lawn can we sustain???? "Sustainability" is not just another word for "environmentalism." It's not just about what the Earth can "sustain." It's also about what the stupid human populace is willing to do-- about building something the Earth can take that they are willing and able to "sustain" over the long term.
I've got one question. What exactly do we think of NAIS again????
You know, I'd love to see the AgriCorp replaced by the AgriCoOp. I'd be thrilled to see Norman and Norma Normal forced to buy their meat from small, local farmers because there is no other choice. In turn, small, local farmers would be forced to keep their livestock in basically clean, reasonably humane conditions. They'd be out there where everyone had to look at it; besides, selling a sh*tty product to your neighbors shortly leaves you with no business and angry neighbors. It would thrill my little soul. There's just one problem with it. Norman and Norma Normal have made their choices in such a way that they're dependent on AgriCorp, and it's crappy practices, in order to put meat (and, for that matter, food) on the table. To paraphrase William Pierce (who may have been a bigot, but a very observant bigot): You can deprive the average American of his liberty, and he won't care. But if you infringe on his right to a steak dinner, he's going to get p*ss*d. You may not care if the Normals get p*ss*d. You may, in fact, hold that attitude in a great deal of contempt. I do. But that doesn't change the fact of its existence. That doesn't change the fact that, if those of us with two brain cells to rub together push the stupid masses too far too fast, they're going to stop being willing to move at all. If they feel too threatened, they'll stop tolerating us crazy granola greenies and our ways at all. There are still those who call out for such a thing. I heard them on AFR just the other day, driving down New Hope Road, past all the megachurches and McMansions, surrounded by SUVs. They don't get a whole lot of creedence these days except among far-right Christian fundies (and Bildeberg theorists). But a populace that's afraid for its dinner would be more inclined to listen. Raise consciousness???? Great idea. Try to legislate them out of existence???? Well, I've g
