Rugby Union: England international Danny Cipriani charged over nightclub assault
England rugby union player Danny Cipriani has been arrested and charged by police in Jersey over an incident at a nightclub.
Police said he had been charged with common assault, larceny, assault on police, resisting arrest and being disorderly on licensed premises.
The flyhalf's club side, Gloucester, says the incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday morning on the Channel island.

The club said in a statement: "Gloucester Rugby are very aware of an incident involving Danny Cipriani in the early hours of Wednesday morning following an incident at a St Helier nightclub.
"He was arrested and has since been charged.
"He will appear at Jersey Magistrates Court at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning."
The 30 year old finally forced his way back into England selection this year and toured with the national side in South Africa back in June but he's on his on his 'last warning' from coach Eddie Jones over his behaviour.
Cipriani has only played 16 tests since making his England debut in 2008, but his career has long been dogged by off-field incidents.
Before his international debut in 2008, he was axed from the matchday squad after being spotted leaving a nightclub at 12.30am two nights before England's Six Nations match against Scotland.
Meanwhile, in June 2016 he was fined £7620 and banned for driving for 18 months after being found guilty of drink driving and crashing into a taxi the year before.

Fibrinogen Sevilla, a congenital dysfibrinogenemia characterized by an abnormal monomer aggregation and a defective plasmin lysis
Fernández FJ, Noguerol P, Sosa R, Cuesta B, Páramo JA, Rocha E.
University Clinic of Navarra, Faculty of Medicine, Pamplona, Spain.
Magazine: Clinica Chimica Acta
Date: Feb 22, 1989Hematología y Hemoterapia [SP]
A dysfibrinogenemia (fibrinogen Sevilla) was detected in a 64-yr-old woman with no previous history of hemorrhagic diathesis or thrombosis.
Thrombin and reptilase times were prolonged. The aggregation of fibrin monomers showed a prolonged latency time with a defective slope although fibrinopeptide release and clot stabilization were found to be normal. Plasmin proteolysis was abnormal with a much slower plasmic degradation in patient's purified fibrinogen. By chromatofocussing the patient's fibrinogen showed an abnormality in pattern elution with a second peak eluting at a pH slightly more basic than the normal one (pH 5.5). Likewise, the isoelectrofocussing of purified non-reduced patient's fibrinogen in agarose gel showed an abnormal distribution in its focussed bands, especially in a group which focussed in a pI-interval between 5.20-5.85. By two-dimensional electrophoresis we did not find any abnormality in the fibrinogen-reduced chains.
These results could indicate that the abnormal monomer aggregation, as well as the defective plasmin lysis, could be due to conformational aspects of fibrinogen rather than to structural defects.

Bang! And Barry Scott's gone.
The no-nonsense cleaning products enthusiast became a cult icon through the Cillit Bang adverts, though it seems he'll no longer be shouting in our faces after being given the heave-ho.
Barry has been replaced by a younger, hotter model called Daniel Cloud Campos - a backing dancer for the likes of Madonna.
In the new advert, Daniel takes inspiration from Flashdance as he cavorts around a garage spraying the product.
However, Cillit Bang didn't let Barry go without a tribute of sorts, posting a mash-up clip that takes the piss out of the advertising campaign, with lines such as: "Hi, I'm annoying."
It also suggests that we may not have seen the last of Mr Scott, ending with a very teasy: "For now."

"Burnie is located 51km northwest of Devonport on Emu Bay."
The coastal city is known in Tasmania for its productivity and creativity. Locals produce crafty materials including all sorts of papers and cards, artworks, jewellery, woodwork, sculptures, you name it they make it. On the consumption side of things milk and cheeses are produced and they even process the milk for Cadbury at the Burnie Milk Depot.
The creative arts and crafts made by the locals can be seen at the Maker's Workshop on Bass Hwy in town. The centre has many creative displays, a gift shop, museum and studios where you can watch the creators at work.
Adjacent to the workshop is West Beach. By day it's just the usual stretch of sand along Tassie's Bass Strait, but by night its inhabitants come waddling up the foreshore to their man-made concrete igloos where they nest and breed their young. Little Penguins live here and during the months between November and April local volunteers conduct free tours and show you their much loved little friends. Of course you cannot touch the penguins, however a lifelike replica is on display and you are able to feel the texture of their coat. Also note torches and cameras are prohibited as the light damages the penguins' eyes. An infra red light is used to view the cute little creatures. The penguin parade occurs at dusk each evening and is a fabulous experience in a sparkling setting with the city lights as a backdrop.
Views over the city and coastline can be seen from Round Hill Lookout, which is accessible via Stowport Rd. Climb up to the viewing tower and overlook the panorama below.
Emu Valley is where garden lovers can visit the Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden on Breffny Rd. Experience the tranquility of a manicured garden on 11 hectares with various plant varieties and in particular the stunning Rhododendron flowers. The spectacular blooms of brilliant colours can be enjoyed daily from 9am to 5pm between August and April. Entry fees apply to adults.
The Cheese Tasting Centre is located on Old Surrey Rd and it is here that you can sample a variety of delicious Tasmanian cheese all produced locally. A diverse range is available for purchase and some are sold at factory prices. The centre is open daily from 9am to 5pm weekdays and 10am to 4pm weekends and public holidays.
Finish off your cheese tasting sensation with a sample of smooth single malt Tasmanian whiskey at the Hellyers Road Distillery on Old Surrey Rd not far from the cheese centre. The distillery is open daily from 10am to 4.30pm and tour/tasting fees apply.
The local farmers market sells fresh local produce at the Showground, via Smith St, on the first, third and fifth Saturday mornings of each month. If you happen to be visiting on the right weekend head on down and purchase some cheap, fresh, quality produce to take on your journey.
Burnie is classed as a city but projects good old country charm. The people, the art, craft, dairy industry, farmers markets, hinterland tastings and wildlife volunteers make Burnie a delight to visit and see a bit of the old country back in the city.

Life under the New Republic was not easy for Leia™, once one of the Rebel Alliance's™ greatest leaders. Side-lined by a new generation of political leaders, she struck out on her own to oppose the First Order™ as founder of the Resistance, a secret military force.
After the Battle of Endor™, Han™ became a rebel hero and he and Leia welcomed a son, Ben. But, when his relationship with Leia floundered, Han returned to his smuggler roots.
However, Han's luck turned when he recovered his long-lost ship and he and Leia saw each other again for the first time in years. Han agreed to lead a dangerous mission to infiltrate the First Order's Starkiller Base™, with Leia hoping he could find a way to break the dark side's hold on Ben, a.k.a. Kylo Ren™, and bring their son home. But there was to be no reconciliation, and one of the greatest heroes of the Rebellion was killed at the hand of his own son, leaving Leia to mourn her loss.

Some more milling for the studio has been going on. This past week, the guys and I unloaded some more timbers for the frame as well as a ton of boards. These 3,000 bd ft of 16" wide boards did not come from trees at our place but they are beautiful. It will be amazing to have such wide boards lining the walls of my studio. We have some more milling to do but I think I have enough to dive into some of the joinery now. I've been itching to get to that stage.

The Supreme Court later this month will hear a major genetic-privacy case testing whether authorities may take DNA samples from anybody arrested for serious crimes.
The case has wide-ranging implications, because at least 27 states and the federal government have regulations requiring suspects to give a DNA sample upon some type of arrest, regardless of conviction. In all the states with such laws, DNA saliva samples are cataloged in state and federal crime-fighting databases.
The justices are reviewing a 2012 decision from Maryland's top court, which said it was a breach of the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure to take, without warrants, DNA samples from suspects who have not been convicted.
The upcoming hearing, slated for Feb. 26, has drawn a huge following from civil rights groups, crime victims, federal and state prosecutors and police associations — each arguing their party lines.
The President Barack Obama administration told the justices in a filing (.pdf) that "DNA fingerprinting is a minimal incursion on an arrestee's privacy interests. Those interests are already much diminished in light of an arrestee's status and the various intrusions and restrictions to which he is subject — and that is particularly true of any interest in preventing law enforcement from obtaining his identifying information."
On the other side, the Electronic Privacy Information Center said the indefinite retention of DNA samples raises unforeseen privacy issues. (.pdf)
"As our knowledge of genetics and its capabilities continues to expand, it brings with it new challenges to privacy. Once an individual's DNA sample is in a government database, protecting that information from future exploitation becomes more difficult," the group told the justices in a filing.
DNA testing in the United States was first used to convict a suspected Florida rapist in 1987, and has been a routine tool to solve old or so-called cold cases. It has also exonerated convicts, even those on death row.
At issue before the justices is a Maryland Court of Appeals ruling that arrestees have a "weighty and reasonable expectation of privacy against warrantless, suspicionless searches" and that expectation is not outweighed by the state's "purported interest in assuring proper identification" of a suspect.
The case involves Alonzo King, who was arrested in 2009 on assault charges. A DNA sample he provided linked him to an unsolved 2003 rape case, and he was later convicted of the sex crime. But the Maryland Court of Appeals reversed, saying his Fourth Amendment rights were breached.
Maryland prosecutors argued that mouth swabs were no more intrusive than fingerprinting, but the state's high court said that it "could not turn a blind eye" to what it called a "vast genetic treasure map" that exists in the DNA samples retained by the state.
The Maryland court was noting that DNA sampling is much different from compulsory fingerprinting. A fingerprint, for example, reveals nothing more than a person's identity. But much more can be learned from a DNA sample, which codes a person's family ties, some health risks and, according to some, can predict a propensity for violence.
The issue before the justices does not contest the long-held practice of taking DNA samples from convicts. The courts have already upheld DNA sampling of convicted felons, based on the theory that those who are convicted of crimes have fewer privacy rights.
Maryland's law, requiring DNA samples for those arrested for burglary and crimes of violence, is not nearly as harsh as California's, among the nation's strictest requiring samples for any felony arrest.
The outcome of the hearing is likely already decided, however. Chief Justice John Roberts in July stayed the Maryland decision. In the process, he said there was a "fair prospect" (.pdf) the Supreme Court would reverse the decision.
The high court has previously ruled that when conducting intrusions of the body during an investigation, the police need so-called "exigent circumstances" or a warrant. For example, the fact that alcohol evaporates in the body is an exigent circumstance that provides authorities the right to draw blood from a suspected drunken driver without a warrant.
That said, the justices last month heard arguments on that "exigent circumstances" concept in another closely watched case from Missouri concerning genetic privacy. That case tests whether the police should obtain a warrant to draw blood against the will of suspected drunken drivers.
A decision in that case is pending.

With the number of smartphones hitting the market, the study reveals that the average person looks at their mobile nearly 200 times per day, which is going to increase by nearly 400-500 times per day. Data from Ericsson revels that by end of 2020 there will be around 6.1 billion smartphone subscriptions and around 90% of the global population over 6 years of age will own a mobile phone, a trend which is seen evidently.
In midst of this the mobile devices and cloud services have changed the way we work, helping employees to carry out their work from home or in the office using tablets and smartphones. The enterprise mobility market had gone through some changes in 2014 – from strategic partnership between great tech industries to the primer of new wearable technology like the Apple Watch, which has initiated the door of enterprise mobility, which is all set to be a big IT Trend for 2015 – a trend which will be at the top of the CIOs agenda.
The million question now is why is Enterprise Mobility that important?
With the increase in number of smartphones, tablets and SaaS applications has revolutionized the way we work today. Enterprise mobility gives instant access to information through mobile applications anywhere, anytime enabling them to be on tip of their toes. Having an improved mobile productivity results in greater ROI which further enhances the businesses.
- As per the report from bbc.com nearly 4.2 million people were seen working from their home in the year 2014.
- With 52% of all workers use three or more devices for work and 60% of devices reported by info workers are used for both work and personal purposes. source: forester
- Services like Microsoft office 365 enables employees to work or edit documents and go through emails from any device at any time.
Enterprise mobility carries with its lot of conveniences of all sizes from hand-held device to cost saving to companies.
The Other Top Trends for 2015:
Increase use of Phablets will be seen among employees in 2015:
2015 is set to increase the demand for iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 as employees have started feeling the need of a better solution to meet their on-the-go needs with a better tablets. Employees will slide from tablets to a convenient portable device like Phablets that will enable them to do all their work on the go.
The security of mobile will become more relevant:
2014 saw many companies investing in and using data-rich enterprise apps like customer relationship management tool, but the most challenging thing any organization will face in 2015 is securing the data. With the growing focus on cybersecurity infrastructure, many organization will go for mobile device management (MDM) tools, hence security may become the responsibility of the application, where one can see more enterprise applications with inbuilt security to erase the concerns of their customers.
BYOD the big talking point in 2015:
With organization wanting to go for an all-in-one MDM solutions that will take care of all BYOD security needs, vendors and organization are moving away from a singular devices to a holistic approach that will protect the device data and applications. BYOD will be the talk of 2015, with security vendors going for all in one MDM solutions.
Internet of things (IoT) to embrace enterprises:
Recent report by Frost and Sullivan says, enterprises will embrace wearable at a much tremendous rate, making it a strong presence in the modern enterprise that is expected to become the mainstream of 2015. As companies implement IoT solutions, CIO are sure to find IoT to become driving force of the digital transformation of their company. The growing importance and scope of the data will push CIOs to integrate with the IoTs into their business technology agenda.
As rightly said by General Partner Kevin Spain the following in a recent enterprise mobile forum: "There is a huge opportunity to serve the 2.5 billion global non-desk workers. At $40 per worker per year, it could be the next $100 billion opportunity for enterprise technology. I predict we will start seeing more enterprise mobile use cases in 2015 that generate real revenue."
2015 is all set to bring its first flavors of Enterprise mobility apps, with mobile technology growing at a rapid speed, there will be a need to evolve their approach towards the management and deployment of mobile devices, their services and the apps, to increase and maintain their ROI. Get in touch with us to know more about enterprise mobility apps.

Good Evening Munchkins!
Today I will be sharing with you some of my favourite outfits during Spring/Summer, featuring my much loved denim shirt. Last year, I literally lived in this from March all the way through to August, and I have a feeling I'm going to be the same this year! It's slowly becoming a staple in my wardrobe once again, so I thought I would share with you some combinations I like to wear it with in Spring time. Just as a little disclaimer, this denim shirt was given to me by my Mum and was something she used to wear when she was younger, so I have no idea where it's from! There's probably loads of alternatives to this one, though, so please don't be too disheartened.
On slightly cooler days, I may wear leggings and a normal length T-shirt partnered with my denim jacket. I'm sure I've featured all these clothes on here before, but it's always nice to see how other people like to wear them! If it's not already noticeable, this is mainly for casual wear. Going from top to bottom, the FRIENDS t-shirt is from Primark, the 'Living For The Weekend' top is from H&M and the Dan and Phil top is probably from Ebay!
On nicer, hotter days, I will choose to wear a crop top instead so that I'm not wearing too much material, but the denim jacket keeps me covered if there is a breeze (which there always seems to be when you live by the sea!). Again, I will wear leggings because it is still Spring in England! All of these tops are from New Look, (apart from the last one which is also from Primark) and I think the orange and grey looks most stunning against the blue of the denim jacket. How many of you were betting I would say that?!
And there we have it! I hope you have enjoyed this blog post – I love writing about clothes and fashion so please let me know if you have liked reading about it. Not very much to say but I did want to keep this mainly about the pictures and for you to use this as some inspiration. I will, of course, wear other things with my denim jacket, but these were my absolute staple outfits last year, and will continue to be so this year, I think. I can always write an updated one with Summer outfits later on in the year because I have a fair few of those as well, so just let me know on that one if you would like it.
Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you Thursday,

The Miklós Rózsa Collection
released 2008 BSX Records
BUYSOUNDTRAX Records release THE MIKLÓS RÓZSA COLLECTION: MUSIC FOR GUITAR. The album features music composed for motion pictures by Miklós Rózsa, arranged for guitar by Gregg Nestor, performed by Gregg Nestor, Raymond Burley and William Kanengiser, augmented by Francisco Castillo on Oboe and Carole Kleister-Castillo on Violin.
In 1994 Raymond Burley had the pleasure of playing to Miklós Rozsa in his Hollywood home.
THE MIKLÓS RÓZSA COLLECTION: MUSIC FOR GUITAR presents the music of Miklós Rózsa in an entirely new light, adapting the pieces for two guitars, in arrangements based faithfully on the composer's original scores by internationally acclaimed guitarist Gregg Nestor. The collection contains selections from EL CID, THAT HAMILTON WOMAN, YOUNG BESS, MADAME BOVARY, A WOMAN'S VENGEANCE, PROVIDENCE, BLOOD ON THE SUN, GREEN FIRE, MOONFLEET, TIP ON A DEAD JOCKEY, LYDIA and CRISIS. In addition to selections from Rózsa's large filmography, this release contains two classical works, Kaleidoscope, Op. 19c, composed for his children in 1946 and his Sonata For Guitar, Op. 42, composed in 1986.
Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1907, composer Miklós Rózsa studied the violin from the age of 5. While living in London in 1935, Rózsa was hired by legendary producer Alexander Korda to score his film, KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOR. Later, while composing the music for another Korda production, THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, Rózsa moved to California, where he remained for the rest of his life. Throughout his film career, he worked in many genres but distinguished himself writing music for the film noirs of the 1940's and the great costume epics of the 1950's and 1960's. A classically trained composer, Rózsa was well known for his dedication to researching the musical history of the time periods of the films he worked on. His filmography includes music composed for films such as THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, THE JUNGLE BOOK, DOUBLE INDEMNITY, SPELLBOUND, THE LOST WEEKEND, QUO VADIS, IVANHOE, JULIUS CAESAR, KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE, BEN-HUR, KING OF KINGS, EL CID, THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD and TIME AFTER TIME, among others.
Gregg Nestor has built a strong following for his abilities as soloist, accompanist and arranger. He has recorded and broadcast in Holland, Belgium, Spain and for the BBC in London. Many works arranged by Gregg for solo/duo guitars or with various ensembles have been published.
For THE MIKLÓS RÓZSA COLLECTION: MUSIC FOR GUITAR, Gregg was allowed access to the composer's personal archives. The results are arrangements as concise and accurate as possible to the composer's original intentions.
William Kanengiser is known worldwide for his talents as a soloist and chamber musician. Also known for his expertise as an arranger, William has transcribed extensively for the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.
THE MIKLÓS RÓZSA COLLECTION: MUSIC FOR GUITAR is a limited edition release of 1000 units. The first 100 copies purchased through BUYSOUNDTRAX will be autographed by Artist Gregg Nestor.
Review taken from 'Music From the Movies' magazine (USA)
Stripping an orchestral piece of music right down to its bare essentials and re-casting the voices could be seen as sacrilege by some. The music of Georges Delerue has been re-interpreted in various guises a number of times in recent years, and quite successfully so; now it's the turn of another late great composer, Miklós Rózsa. Here BSX Records present selections from some of the Hungarian maestro's most famous film scores, but re-arranged for guitar.
While his major epics required something of a bombastic approach, the composer was equally well known for the stark quality of many of his compositions. With that in mind it is perhaps fitting to scale some of these pieces right down to a single instrument, or indeed three as the guitar is joined in places by oboe and violin. Gregg Nestor performs and arranges, along with fellow guitarists Raymond Burley and William Kanengiser, while Francisco Castillo and Carole Kleiser-Castillo provide the oboe and violin lines respectively. Nestor was responsible for getting Rózsa to finally write a piece for the instrument back in 1986, and the resulting 'Sonata for Guitar, Op. 42' provides one of the opening selections on the disc. It's a captivating work and reveals the composer's adeptness – with a little help from Nestor – deftly creating a flowing piece in three movements that would fool you into believing Rózsa had been composing for guitar his entire career. Preceding the 'Sonata' is a wonderful concert work titled 'Kaleidoscope'. Originally prepared for small orchestra, the six musical vignettes work very successfully on guitar and are full of colour, perkiness and charm.
From there we move into film territory and a varied collection of ideas, some of which work better than others. The El Cid selection is a good example as the 'Overture' sounds frankly ridiculous – though the castanet-like fingering in places is clever, while the 'Love Theme' is beautifully done, with the help of the supporting woodwind and strings. The remaining film score examples each work fairly well as they're largely based on rather more restrained and lyrical entries, such as love themes and waltzes. The selection from Madame Bovary ('Le Passpied de Vaubiessard') is a highlight, as is 'The Boat House Waltz' from A Woman's Vengeance and the 'Suite' from Lydia. As with El Cid, the theme from Green Fire and the Crisis 'Suite' are a bit too rambunctious and overplayed, but perhaps that's just a personal preference for softer guitar music over wild flamenco strumming! Of course the latter originally featured two guitars, so it acts as a good album closer.
So all in all the music of Miklós Rózsa is well appointed on the guitar and fans of the composer should find much to enjoy and indeed re-discover on this album. If the guitar is not for you then of course steer clear; however, it really is a pleasant listen on the whole with the non-film music entries being the highlights oddly enough.

Review taken from www.americanmusicpreservation.com
Rating: ****
This has been such an amazing year for older soundtrack releases that this little release from BSX might have completely slipped under the radar.
Guitarist Gregg Nestor has arranged a variety of works for his instrument that have expanded the repertoire admirably. And he is responsible for the commissioning of the sonata which Rozsa wrote for the instrument in 1986.
The first half of the disc features come from the composer's more classical composition drawer. It begins with a set of delightful miniatures which Rozsa composed for his children in 1946. Kaleidoscope, Op. 19c is a six-movement work of little pieces for two guitars (performed with Raymond Burley) that include an opening march, a delightful musette, and a beautiful lullaby in addition to a couple of ethnic music pieces ("Zingara" and "Chinese Carillon") and a fun concluding burlesque. There is a lot of delightful music in this suite that features a more modal sounding harmonic palette that resembles a gentler Bartok-ian sensibility. The Sonata for Guitar, Op. 42 is a classically-conceived work in every sense of the word from its sonata form construction and an interior canzon movement, to the exciting final movement. There are some melodic qualities to the work that recall those of the composer's epic period scores but here cast in a far more intimate light. Written in 1986, the work feels more like a piece of the 1950s at times, but it has a freshness and intricate design that warrants its establishment in the repertoire. It is one of the many delightful discoveries on the disc.
Admittedly, the thought of such a largely-conceived work as EL CID's score re-imagined for guitar seemed a rather hefty goal. And yet, the performance and arrangement here of the "Overture" is one that is both extremely musical and intricately engaging as some of the finer details of Rozsa's harmony and counterpoint can so clearly be delineated on this two-guitar setting (Nestor is joined here by William Kenengiser). A soulful oboe (performed by Francisco Castillo), and later violin (performed by Carole Kleister-Castillo), is added to the texture for the following "Love Theme" making for a nice contrast to the preceding material as well. All this music lies well for the guitar and this is clear throughout these first two adaptations which have an appropriately Castillian feel to them made more audible in this setting. In many ways, the performances practically transport you back to the period of the story.
Other selections on the disc include the beautiful love theme from THAT HAMILTON WOMAN, and a couple of suites from scores for LYDIA and CRISIS, the latter score from 1950 originally composed mostly for two guitars. The central portion of the disc features a variety of source cues which Rozsa composed to fit specific period scenes. There sounds tend to waver between a Renaissance style and a more Baroque one (i.e. the delightful "Bouree" from MOONFLEET) depending on the film. But they all sound like long lost guitar miniature gems. Two of these, music from YOUNG BESS and MADAME BOVARY, are arranged for two guitars and are beautifully balanced here between the two instruments. Nestor's solo tracks are all beautifully realized with "The Tokyo Tea Room Waltz" from BLOOD ON THE SUN a particularly engaging, if brief, musical work. The theme from GREEN FIRE sounds like something from every guitarist's Spanish guitar playbook in this light, but with Rozsa's unique and engaging melodic stamp it becomes something much more.
Each guitar voice is assigned a different side of the sound spectrum to identify the performer, but it actually recreates a more realistic concert sound that is warm and intimate throughout. The instruments themselves have beautiful tone quality and the performances are quite clean and crisp (without the too-close miked finger noises that often can distract those unfamiliar with classical guitar recordings).
This is an overall wonderful release that features an intelligently written and engaging overview of the selections included in this fine release. For a variety of highlighted clips from the release, you can visit the label's website: here
This is a great disc of music that will have great appeal to guitar music fans as well as those looking for a way to introduce the music of this great composer to your more classically-minded friends.
Steven A. Kennedy , 12 December 2008
A few additional comments...
I completely agree with Steve's opinion of this wonderful CD of Gregg Nestor's flavorful arrangements of Miklos Rozsa's film music.
We need more recordings like this one to demonstratethat film music need not only be performed by orchestras and pop groups. This ensemble of musicians play their respects to one of Hollywood's best composers. And the CD notes are by Herrmann's biographer, Steven C. Smith.
This is a first rate CD, beautifully recorded, and also has a handsomely designed booklet.
It is highly recommended for all Rozsaphiles, or any listener who appreciates the art of film music from Hollywood's Golden Age.

Supercomputing Capabilities
Ohio Supercomputer Center
Modern and future CAE tools often require significant computing power. To facilitate this, SIMCenter partnered with the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), an OH-TECH Consortium member, to leverage their extensive supercomputing environment.
The SIMCenter lab is based on an architecture used in industry that provides a flexible yet powerful computing environment to researchers. This environment allows engineers to connect to Blade servers via a Remote Graphic Session and pushes all of the effort of model manipulation, pre-processing, and post-processing off the local machine. From the Blade, it is possible to post jobs to the domain-specific CAE Solvers on the supercomputer resources available via OSC.
All of this is enabled by a high-speed fiber optic connection from SIMCenter facilities in Smith Lab to OSC.

Girlfriends--what a concept! Girls (children) and girls (adults) that connect in spirit and personality and share everything from dolls to recipes. I think fondly not only of my girlfriends but friends that wear that title and belong to my daughter, sister and yes, even girlfriends of my girlfriends.
Do you remember your first girlfriend? What games did you play? Was she a neighbor, school friend or maybe a cousin? My first girlfriend was a neighbor named Lois. Lois had a big sister, Elizabeth, and our primary play was dress up. We wore our mom's old clothes and insisted my younger sister and other little neighbor kids play the roll of "baby." We played mama, as in grown-up tasks. (I'm the mom, you be the baby). We called the orders and issued the rules. For some reason, the little sister and neighbors played along, pretending to cry when we told them, or sit still for time out. (minor punishment) Many years have passed since Lois and I crisscrossed our neighborhood yards, but indeed, I'll always remember her as a special girlfriend--even at our early ages of five and six.
And what about the Scouting or Campfire Girl years? Do you remember the badges you worked to achieve? And the girlfriend that aspired to the same goals? Linda was my friend in the fifth grade. I remember going to her house to work on one of our badges. Her mom worked and we loved to preview her closet (unbeknown to her mom). We wanted to look at her mom's beautiful clothes because she hung her clothes wrong side out in the closet--to avoid dust. Such I had never seen. Yes, Linda and I worked on badges together, but never without a peek into her mom's closet. That secret girlfriend bond--I trust you and you trust me.
Junior High years came and I found sewing and my forever friend, Martha. Oh, those fun years with our favorite teacher, Mrs. Alexander, who gave us confidence with needle and thread. In those years the "sack" dress was in high style. Martha and I eagerly shopped for our favorite 79 cent/yard cotton and cut/sewed two dresses, almost alike, all in one night of a sleepover. I cut and stitched; she pressed or visa-versa until two dresses were finished. We wore them with pride and couldn't wait to get to the next pattern and the next sew-in sleepover--almost every weekend during that freshman year of high school. Bonding in girlfriend sharing--equal loads, equal rewards.
And do you remember our "laugh til we drop" moments? Remember the times we looked at each other and started laughing? Sometimes it was about a private joke, others--well, it was fun to laugh together, be it over spilled milk or a silly boyfriend encounter.
College days found new comrades. One of my dear girlfriends was named Linda. We had food lab classes together and mastered the seriousness of the perfect meal, formulating even the cost of the hollandiase sauce and setting the perfect table for the perfect score. Such a kinship was felt together that we eagerly exchanged our first choice of classes to be sure we had the common schedule in upcoming semesters. Later we worked in the same testing kitchen for Pioneer Natural Gas, demonstrated the latest in superb gas cookery, shared a company car and even bought precious little schnauzer puppies from the same litter. Girlfriend bonding...laughter, sharing, trust, co-dependency, connection.
Marriage took me to the next stage of girlfriends. How can we possibly forget our first couple friends --(the husband and wife sought out friendships that matched the other couple equally). We shared meals, played games and took care of each other's children. And the dear girlfriends in early jobs? Mary taught me how to teach (and quilt). I loved Jan at TCU (working on her PH.D and birthing her children in the school holidays), my dear Christian church friends, Betty, Delpha, Suzanne and Linda. Again, more shared meals and children with the addition of prayer and study. And the connections of favorite friends in the community--Shirley who owned a fabulous fabric shop and gave me every opportunity, Mrs. Engleman (named Dottie) that I could NEVER call by her given name --she was just too special.
Remember the friends that loved your kids? The teachers, the neighbors, the community leaders? Remember the friends that shared discussions regarding "the best for your kids?" The piano teacher? The art teacher? Or the chicken pox spreading across the school?-- and years later, even the college of choice. Friendships to match the life window...girlfriends to match the heart and soul.
And somehow, middle age came to be. Our work associations and their value increased. Remember Bonnie, Judy, Nancy, Betty, Ann, Chris, Carolyn, Marty, Debra, and endless favorites, all relative to the daily walk.The time of life when there were too many dear friends to name?
Remember the friendships formed after the horrid empty nest? For years, we imagined how life would be when we had "our time" and then it happened? The house was empty and lonely. Where were our dear children? Young adults, yes, with girlfriends in their life. Bonding, sharing, laughing and finding their way.
And those first-in-years lunches--just you and a friend? No carpool to run; no clock to watch, except for the early retired husband that asked, "when will you be home?" Girlfriends with the first gray hair, the first wrinkle and the first...maybe the first of many...lunches. And the first of many girlfriend trips or retreats or...bees or writing groups and ALWAYS more new friends??
Must I remind you of our girlfriend bond during the hard times? Our sadness or loss about a child or parent or husband or even ourselves--no words describe the pain; our heart is cut in half. Girlfriends appear, sometime for no apparent reason--only to hold us up. Thanks, we mutter, because the words can't come. A hug, a tight hand grip, tears wiped from the cheek and a casserole in the oven...girlfriends, yea, we understand.
Ah, girlfriends. One of life's blessings. As noted author Gail Sheehy wrote several years ago in her book, Passages, the retirement years provide time to fulfill the desire to redefine oneself. Perhaps that is the last identifying moment of girlfriend-ing. It is almost the best. It is the sharing of laughs that relate to years of living, the sharing of "remember when", the "I have the funniest grandson story", the freedom to play golf, cards, quilt, take a class or watch a movie with a girlfriend--just because. It is the combination of dear, dear history friends and the friends we have just made that live down the road. It is girlfriend time in full circle.
The seasons come and go--in a flash. The seasons are shorter now. They aren't defined by years; instead we relate to months, maybe even events. But one thing for sure...girlfriends, I'll call you. Please call me.
BECAUSE girlfriend, we are special to each other. I couldn't make it without you. And I hope you feel the same.
Enjoy the best, share the best, be the best,
a wonderful scripture:
A friend loves at all times..." Proverbs 17:7
and a favorite book:
Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts, 2004.
...the stories of the women who raised our nation.
pens or pins? that is the question...
What's one to do when the heart and hands enjoy words and fabric, the pattern of paragraphs and quilts to an equal enthusiasm? To solve my dilemma I'm writing the print that stirs me and sharing the journey of blending fabrics into quilts and wearables, the discovery of old--be it quilts or friends, and the pleasures of today. Come...have a visit with me.

What you need to keep in mind while keeping up with the latest tendencies isthat never once were you in the designer's ideas when placing her or his creations together.
How often have you cringed in styles of dresses, pants, blouses or anything understanding at the back of your head how awful you'd appear dressed in everything was fashioned for the catwalk and you feel the necessity to get them because it is in fashion.
Best designer labels don't come cheap and can be very pricey which makes you bankrupt if you might have purchased a garment for half the cost and still look just as magnificent. Keeping up with fashion is all good and well but if you look dumb wearing something which was not especially designed for you do not wear it.
Find Stores
When shopping next; locate a store selling quality equipment for half the cost of what it'd cost to dress in designer gear. You'll see similar or replicated designs to the newest craze in many shops as well as in second-hand or charity shops. The fantastic thing with charity stores their profits go to good causes, therefore in addition to looking a million bucks in an outfit purchased from such a store that you help the hungry people of earth.
Consider Your Body Size
Belts don't go down nicely with pleasantly plump women. They do but the major girl should exclude straps from her wardrobe since they aren't free for the girl with the major waist. If straps are crucial then let's find an alternate thought.
Create your own tummy piece. Add glue or glitter sequins into the strips to spice up the belt. This won't simply look effective but match your own size. Off-cuts are economical and you may if attempting to hang on beads coins or anything from the buckle you created, this can let everybody know you're in the area or get you noticed on the dance floor due to the jingle and jangle.
Above are just ideas of things you could do if you set your mind into it, as opposed to wind up in debt thanks to purchasing designer equipment that nobody has to see since you emptied the bank accounts, and can't manage to go out and reveal your outfit off.
Forget about buying trendy designer equipment from the stores as these fashions and layout weren't made for you . This is devastating for a few women wanting to wear clothing trending in the moment. If you're able to get away with wearing the hottest trends then you're among those lucky ones, regrettably not all women are that lucky. It is logical to place your own style suggestions to use and to the deal cheap. Design your own tag? Who knows perhaps your friends will need a part of the activity and a fantastic means of earning money also.

Building your own XP Service Pack 4-Windows Secrets
Building your own XP Service Pack 4Posted on December 1, 2011 by Susan Bradley in Top StoryStarting today, Windows XP users will have 860 more days of official Microsoft support — and on every one of those days, many of those users will continue to run the operating system that just won't die.Want to extend the life of your Windows XP Service Pack 3 as long as possible? You can do so by installing Microsoft hotfixes as needed.It's ironic that the official Windows XP End of Support Countdown Gadget runs only on Vista and Windows 7. Perhaps Microsoft will offer a paper-based advent calendar for its XP users. Regardless of Microsoft's schedule, a significant number of people will continue to use XP well past the deadline. Their practical reasons range from line-of-business needs to the economy to "It still fills all my needs."According to Microsoft, XP SP3 is the end of the line — there will not be an SP4. But that doesn't mean you can't build your own virtual version of SP4. Just use the hotfixes Microsoft develops over the remaining years of official support.more... http://windowssecret...n-xp-service-pack-4/-Susan Bradley, Windows Secrets

All winged and buxom angels aside, the one girl who caused a commotion on the Victoria's Secret runway in London today was superstar Taylor Swift. The singer performed last year wearing a Union Jack mini, perhaps as a nod to the location of this year's show, and took to the pink carpet tonight in what was arguably the perfect winter party frock. The glittering J. Mendel dress read sophisticated sparkle and shine, while the thigh-skimming silhouette kept things youthful. As the season to be merry gets in full swing, pair this festive look with a statement coat for maximum impact.

About Berkley Southeast Insurance Group
W.R. Berkley Corporation was founded in 1967 as an investment company, acquiring a group of commercial and reinsurance companies over the decades. In 2013, the company founded Berkley Southeast Insurance Group, serving the southeastern United States. The parent company owns insurers across the nation and the globe.
Berkley Southeast underwrites commercial insurance in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Additional companies under the Berkley banner include:
- Acadia Insurance Company
- Continental Western Insurance Company
- Fireman's Insurance Company of Washington, D.C.
- Union Insurance Company
- Tri-State Insurance Company of Minnesota
Corporate offices are located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, but there are regional offices in multiple states. Claims are handled out of the Meridian, Missouri office. All of Berkley's products are sold by independent agents across the service region, although not all products are available in every state. Products are available for small businesses, mid-sized businesses, and specialty markets.
Berkley Southeast Products
Small Business
Berkley provides small business insurance for more than 450 different classes of business in eight markets. Their product for small business, BSIG Advantage, is a customizable, comprehensive insurance package to meet the specific needs of various types of businesses. This format allows the agent to work with individual companies to determine what coverage is needed and add or remove as required.
Among the items that can be adjusted or added to the basic package are:
- General Liability and Property Enhancement Adjustments
- Business Income
- Professional Liability
- First Party Data Breach
- Employment Practices Liability
- Commercial Auto
- Inland Marine
- Worker's Compensation
Mid-Size Business
Although they call this division "middle market", the company website states that they write policies for both mid-size and large companies. Berkley divides its middle market business products into six main business categories:
- Construction
- Hospitality
- Manufacturing
- Real Estate
- Retailers and Wholesalers
- Services
Package policies are available in each market segment that can be customized to provide the specific protection needed in that industry. Because companies can vary greatly, companies are directed to speak to an agent regarding policy details.
Specialty Products
In addition to serving a large base of common business types, Berkley has specialized policies for two business classes that have particular needs.
Social Services policies are available in North and South Carolina for businesses such as Adult Day Cares, Community Development Agencies, Food Banks, rehabilitation facilities, and more.
The company also writes farmowners and ranchowners policies. These cover specific risks such as farm personal property, farm buildings, and other items specific to running a farm or ranch.
Berkley's Rates
Because business insurance is very specific and customized, it is impossible to provide a rate comparison against other companies. Rate quotes can be obtained by contacting an agent, who will create a package and quote it specifically for the company.
Berkley has a number of options for reporting claims. They can be filed over the phone, via email, or by fax. The toll-free claims reporting line is available 24 hours a day. Customers can also report claims online, with two separate forms for Auto Glass Only and other claims.
Claims forms and information on how to file are readily available on the website. Claims kits can also be downloaded on a state-specific basis on the website for Worker's Compensation claims.
The website also offers a directory of the company's Claims Leadership Contacts, with direct phone numbers to reach each individual. This information is not only helpful but demonstrates accessibility in the claims department.
Business insurance claims can be complex, therefore it is not surprising that there is not a single claims process outlined. This is particularly true for a company covering a large variety of business types.
Ratings and Consumer Reviews
Berkley Southeast Insurance Group is a relatively new entity, although the parent company has been around for half a century. It is also a business insurer, and so there are far fewer reviews available than we usually see for a personal lines company.
The company does have a Better Business Bureau profile, with an A rating and does not list any complaints filed in the past three years. It is always encouraging to see a lack of complaints filed, but the lowering of the rating to A rather than A+ is unusual given that lack.
We were unable to locate any specific reviews of the company's products or services written by customers. Since this company has only been operating since 2013, more time may be needed for a clear picture of their reputation to emerge.
The Bottom Line
If you are in the market for business insurance within Berkley's service area, they are worth investigating, particularly if your business fits into any of the specialty niches they cover. Due to a general lack of information on the company's reputation, it is difficult to form a specific recommendation. The complex nature of business insurance generally warrants speaking with an agent in order to choose the right company for your needs.

|Birth Date:
|Red Deer, Alberta, Canada
Reign Letkeman enters his first year with the Grizzlies and fourth in professional baseball in 2019.
Letkeman, who turned 24 on May 12, was a 23rd-round pick of the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2015 MLB Draft out of Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Wash.
Letkeman pitched for the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Rays in 2015, Rookie-level Princeton (W.V.) Rays in 2016, and briefly for the Short Season-A Hudson Valley (N.Y.) Renegades in 2017. He threw a combined 56 1/3 professional innings over parts of three seasons and, although he conceded 55 hits, did not allow a single home run.
In Princeton, Letkeman faced current Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. when the young slugger was only 17 years old and at the beginning of his journey to the major leagues and becoming a cultural phenomenon. On July 13, 2016, at Bowen Field in Bluefield, Tenn., Letkeman faced Guerrero Jr. in the bottom of the fifth inning with a runner at second, one out, and Princeton ahead 2-1. The younger Vlad lined out to Princeton left fielder Ryan Calloway and Letkeman went on to get credit for the victory in an 8-3 Princeton triumph. Guerrero Jr. is 0-for-1 lifetime against Letkeman.
He was also teammates in Princeton with former Grizzlies reliever Austin Sweet and 2018 Frontier League All-Star outfielder Isaac Benard of the Traverse City Beach Bums.
Letkeman is from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. His full name is Reign Henry Terrance Alexei Letkeman.

Today we are going to learn more about how WordPress works both from a few different perspectives:
- Content Creation
- WordPress Administration
- WordPress Development
We will look at some of the core WordPress resources along the way
- WordPress Where to Start: this gives help on getting started with WordPress
- WordPress Lessons: this page has a lot of different information and tutorials
- WordPress Codex: this is the big gigantic WordPress documentation site
WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
WordPress itself is an open-source blogging and content management system. WordPress.org is the place you go to get the open-source files and it is also where you can documentation, help, community and free plugins and themes. In order to use the WordPress software in this way you need to have:
- A Domain Name
- A Server (usually through a hosting company)
- PHP on the Server
- MySQL database on the server
- FTP access to the server
- Install WordPress on the server (some hosts have one-click installs to make this easy)
WordPress.com is a commercial, for-profit site that hosts WordPress for you. You don't need to worry about getting a host or domain or installing the files. However the downsides are:
- You can't upload your own custom themes.
- You can't even choose which themes are available
- Same for plugins, you can't write or install plugins, you have to use what they give you
- They can show ads on your site
We are using WordPress.com to start the class but as of next week we will move away from it to custom WordPress installs where you will have control over everything. Things may change but right now it is most likely that we will start with this free hosting company and then possibly transition to a different host later in the semester:
In Class Project
We will do the following in class to help you learn your way around WordPress
- Create an Image Gallery. You can use these images: images.zip
- Change the Theme to Oxygen
- Customize the Theme
- Make an image slider on the home page. The theme homepage helps explain it: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/. Here it is in a nutshell:
- Create a Page and set the Template to "Showcase Page" It doesn't have to have any content (it does need a title).
- Create at least two posts.
- Each of the posts needs a Featured Image. Make sure they are at least 750px wide (all in images.zip are).
- In the All Posts view, use Quick Edit to make the posts "Sticky"
- Click the "Customize" button on your theme and under "Layout" select "A Static Page" then choose the page you created in step 1.
- View your site and you should see the slideshow.
- Comment on a classmate's blog
- Manage the comment on your blog
You should know what these parts of WordPress are:
- Page
- Post
- Template
- Sticky Post
- Category
- Tag
- Theme
- Plugin
- Widget
- Comment
- Dashboard
- These are terms you already know but have specific meaning in WordPress
- Menu
- Header
- Footer
- Sidebar
Administration and Content Creation/Editing
You should know how to do the following:
- Create a Page
- Create a Post
- Quick Edit Posts and Pages
- Change the Template of a Page
- Set a Featured Image
- Create new Categories and Sub Categories
- Add Categories and Tags to a Post
- Insert Images (and create a gallery)
- Import Posts and Pages
- Export Posts and Pages
- Change the Tagline
- Change between the Frontpage being a static page and a list of the latest posts
- Create a custom menu
- Manage Comments
- Customize a Theme
- Show Screen Options
- Use Help

Deliver small folding products reliably.
Small format delivery STA 40.
The small format delivery STA 40 is specially designed for small-sized products down to two centimeters final product length and four millimeters maximum product thickness. This makes it the ideal delivery for multiple folded packaging inserts, as used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Small format delivery STA 40
The mobile delivery reliably prevents the folded products from bursting up again, because they are delivered upright, with the spine downwards against the vertical sprung stop. The integrated counting and marking function allows the lateral displacement of the folded products. Thus the operator can unload them in an exact amount into trays. With the optional extended delivery table, the buffering capacity of the delivery is increased, whereby a large number of thick products can be delivered. The continuously adjustable speed and infeed height allows combining the small format delivery STA 40 with all Stahlfolder folding machines. At this juncture, the most important machine functions can be controlled via the integrated control panel.

In prevous post Drupal Commerce Install and Setup, we went over on incorporating commerce functionality with Drupal and creating/displaying Products. In this post, we go over how to import/export Drupal commerce "products" as well as "product displays". Important to note, there are "products" and then there are "product displays". The "product display" is displaying one to many products referenced by the display. It is plain Drupal node with an extra field of type – product reference. The "product" is specific type provided by Commerce module.
Initially, I was thinking to use features for import and export products in drupal commerce store but it doesn't have the capability for products to be featured, so the solution for us was using Views data export to export products and Commerce_feeds for importing products
Exporting Commerce Products
So, you have several products that you created with Drupal Commerce product installed and its UI. To export those products, we first create a view containing the products and then export this view via Views data export into CSV file
a) Install views_data_export and dependent modules
drush dl views_data_export drush dl image_url_formatter drush en views_data_export image_url_formatter
b) Create a view with products you like to export
Create a view with products you like to export. The view has to list each product field you like to export, so add each product field. Here are other specifics of the view:
- 'size' is set to unlimited
- give a display name in the Administration settings(in our example 'theme_export_display')
- select image fields with field formatter 'image_url' (see module image_url_formatter) with setting 'nothing' for linking
- Image url and 'URI Path' for Uri path.
- ensure price is of type "raw amount"(i.e 8000 for $80.00)
- ensure product status output format is '0/1'
- Do not include Product ID.
- keep field labels, so there is header in the export file
- Format type for taxonomy fields are 'link'
b) Configure View for export
- Add a new "Data export" display to your view.
- Change its "Style" to the desired export type. e.g. "CSV file".
- Configure the options (such as name, quote, etc.). You can go back and do
this at any time by clicking the gear icon next to the style plugin you just
- Give it a path in the Feed settings such as "path/to/view/csv".
- Attach this view to the view containing the products you like to export by
updating the "Attach to:" option in feed settings.
- Ensure "Items to Display" is set to "Display All"
c) Generate the file via drush command
drush views-data-export --format=csv VIEW-NAME VIEW-DISPLAY-NAME exports/product-exports/theme_export_Jan11_2014.csv --quote-values --strict=0 --header-row
This will take the view and create csv file from it.
Import Commerce Products
Once you have the csv file with commerce products an export generated as described above, we going to use Commerce_feeds for import this products in another Drupal instance
a) install commerce_feeds module and its dependent modules
drush dl feeds
drush dl feeds_ui
drush dl commerce_feeds
drush en feeds feeds_ui commerce_feeds
This install all the necessary artifacts for using commerce_feeds to import Drupal commerce products
b)Create New Feed Importer
Create a new feed importer named "Product Importer" at Administration -> Structure -> Feeds Importer -> Add Importer. Here are specifics of this importer:
- Change the parser to "CSV Parser"
- Change processor to "Commerce Product Processor"
- In "Commerce Product Processor" settings use product type "product" (or whatever your product is) and change the "Author" to your username.
- ensure Fetcher is of type 'file upload'
- In "mapping", map:
- SKU -> Product SKU
- Title -> Product Title
- Price -> Price: Amount
- Image -> Image
- Set ID as unique target.
…//so on with other product fields in the .csv file
c) Run import
Go to '/import' url, use the Product Importer and import your products
Note: before importing, make sure you have copied the artifacts into the same location you importing from if there is any custom fields with artifacts
Exporting Product Displays
Everything would be the same if there wouldn't be product reference field that links the multiple products to the particular display it is for. To import/export 'product' field, we will utilize modules 'feeds_temper' and 'feeds_tamper_ui' modules.
drush dl feeds_tamper drush en feeds_tamper feeds_tamper_ui
Their responsibility is to take list of SKUs part of 'products' field and create multiple product references for each display at the time of import
a)Create a view
Create view with displays to export(i.e. view 'theme_display_export' with display name – 'display_export'). Here are some important details about the view:
- ensure result size of node is set to unlimited
- ensure the output formatter for field 'product' is set ot 'SKU no link'
- ensure label is attached, so it generates csv with a header row
b) Configure View for export
- Add a new "Data export" display to your view.
- Change its "Style" to the desired export type. e.g. "CSV file".
- Configure the options (such as name, quote, etc.)
- Give it a path in the Feed settings such as "path/to/view/csv".
- Attach this view to the view containing the product displays you like to export by
updating the "Attach to:" option in feed settings.
- Ensure "Items to Display" is set to "Display All"
c)Run Export
Export Product Displays into .csv file by calling drush command as following:
drush views-data-export --format=csv theme_display_export display_export exports/display-exports/display_export_Jan11_2014.csv --quote-values --strict=0 --header-row
This will generate .csv file with product displays
Import Product Displays
Once you have the .csv of product displays, we import them in another Drupal instance. Here are the steps:
a)Create Product Display Importer
First, create product display Importer by going to 'Admin'->'Structure'->'Feeds Importer' -> 'Add New Importer'. Some important things to watch for:
- ensure this is Nodes Processor under the Process
- ensure Fetcher is set to 'file upload'
- create mappings
b)Create Rule for 'product' field
Create Rule for 'product' field by clicking on the 'Tamper' tab and then 'add plugin' under the field 'product' to 'Product:SKU' mapping or however you named the relationship mapping between display to products.
Note: ensure the rule is of type 'list/explode'
c)Run importer
At last, run importer by going to '/importer' url and selecting the product display importer following the UI
1. Unknown option: –header-row. See `drush help views-data-export` for available options.To suppress this error, add the option –strict=0
Make sure to add –strict=0 to the command or in the 'alias' configuration file
2. Exported file's header comes up empty("","",""…)
Make sure to include label for each field, otherwise the header is empty
3. The Images field is coming up empty when exported into csv file
This because there is need to have a special field formatter to format image into url. Module image_url_formatter does exactly that
4. Price is not importing accordingly all zeros
-ensure price is of type "raw amount"(i.e 8000 for $80.00) in the exported CSV file
5. Product Status is always importing into 'Disable' State.
Ensure the exported value of product status is in format of '1/0' that can be configured in the view under 'output format'
6. Images are not displayed in Admin UI.
Ensure that the exporter is set to export image fields into 'URI path' output format that is provided by a separate module 'image_url_formatter'
7. "A product with SKU some_sku could not be found. Please check that the product exists or import it first"(resulting on display only pointing to first product but not all)
Answer: ??? I am not sure…still figuring this out
8. 'PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found:'
Make sure cache is cleared after view created/updated. Also ensure your view returns results
9. Missing Feeds plugin FeedsCommerceProductProcessor
This error come up when there was missing 'commerce_feeds' module. After installing and enabling it, the error goes away
10. User by id '864'…
This happens when running importer with user configured that doesn't exist on current Drupal instance. Go to admin/structure/feeds/NAME_OF_YOUR_IMPOTER/settings/FeedsNodeProcessor and update user with any user currently present
11. Warning: is_dir(): Unable to find the wrapper "private" – did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in file_prepare_directory()
Ensure that the private dir is configured for your Drupal instance (see "Private file system path" at admin/config/media/file-system)
12. Target is missing for Node Processor of Importer
Make sure the field is present fro the content type you are importing
13. Exports exactly 10 items only no matter what the pager is set to
This is happening when the view exported is not of type 'Data Export'. Ensure exporting view is of type "Data Export"
