Hi Everyone –
We are excited to let you know about a great fundraising event to benefit the Chege Orphanage. We will be hosting "mini" photo shoots by Amanda K Photography in Central Park on September 3rd and 4th. This is a chance to get your holiday photos taken by one of New York's top children's photographers and also do a lot of good in the process. (See her photos in the attached image and at her website, www.amandakphoto.com.)
The sitting fee of $200 is a fraction of Amanda's usual charge, and she is generously donating 100% of it to the children of the Chege Orphanage in Nakuru, Kenya. The Chege Orphanage provides a safe haven and a nurturing home to 30 Kenyan children whose lives have been profoundly affected by the AIDS epidemic.
The event will take place September 3rd and 4th, with 30-minute photo sessions scheduled from 8:30 – 4:30 each day. The location is the open field across from Strawberry Fields, near the park entrance at West 72nd Street. To book a session, please contact Patrice Durden at email@example.com or 917-553-8743.
Last year this was one of the Chege Orphanage's most successful fundraisers. Please join us and help make this year a success.
We look forward to seeing you!
Amanda K and the Board of the Chege Orphanage

Dear friends,
We are very excited to have our good friend, Josh Scherer, running this year's NYC Marathon and raising money for The Patrick Chege Memorial Orphanage. As you know, the Orphanage focuses on kids who have lost their families to HIV/AIDs – a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa. Josh is very familiar with this problem having spent a substantial years of his life in this area of the world (his parents have lived in sub-Saharan Africa since 1975 and currently reside in Nairobi, Kenya). The bottom of the email is a short background of our runner, Josh Scherer.
To make the donation process a bit more interesting and interactive, Josh has decided that he need to earn your dollars (and will also pay for them):1) If Josh completes the marathon, the charity receives your base level donation (no amount is too small)2) If Josh runs the marathon in under 2 hours 50 minutes, your base level donation is doubled (He has run 2 NYC marathons, in 2004 (3:00:04) and in 2006 (2:57:03))3) The Scherer family will match aggregate donations up to $2,500.
If you would like to participate, simply send me an email with the amount that you would like to donate (and indicate whether or not you would like to double the amount if Josh runs under 2:50:00) or fill out the pledge form (attached) and mail to Rowena Scherer. Again, no amount is too small and any donation would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you know of anyone else that would potentially like to donate to the Peter Chege Memorial Orphanage, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Josh Scherer, 35, a long time resident of New York and a member of the Greater New York Racing Team is running this year's ING New York City Marathon to raise money for a children's orphanage in Kenya.Josh was raised in different parts of Africa after his parents moved there in 1975. His father, an agricultural engineer, initially worked with the US government (USAID) in Lesotho, but later moved with the family to new positions in Kenya and Zambia. Josh's parents currently reside in Nairobi, Kenya. Josh was active in sports throughout his school years but never focused on track or distance running.
At the beginning of 2004, about the time he turned 32, Josh started running to try and get in shape again after years of working long hours as an investment banker. He ran his first distance race (4 miles) in February 2004 at 6:49 pace - 2 years later he would run a marathon (over 6 times the distance) 4 seconds per mile faster. Josh enjoyed the competitive challenge of racing and quickly entered other races, getting faster each time. In an attempt to take his running to a new level, Josh joined running classes provided by the New York Road Runners and led by local running legend Bob Glover. Bob thought he saw some potential and asked Josh to join Bob's team - the Greater New York Racing Team. Josh's first race with the team was in August 2004.
Since joining the team, Josh has continued to get faster with his best times at almost all distances being posted in 2007 (thanks in part to hiring Bob's wife, Shelly, as a personal coach). He ran his first marathon in November 2004 (New York) in 3:00:04 and his second and most recent marathon in November 2006 (also New York) in 2:57:03, beating Lance Armstrong by over 2 minutes. Josh plans to race the New York marathon again in 2007 and will be raising money for the Patrick Chege Memorial Orphanage, a Kenya-based orphanage focused on children who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, a major issue in sub-Saharan Africa.To maximize the amount donated to the cause, Josh has created a unique structure to make the process more interactive and entertaining for the donors - donors are being encouraged to contribute a base level amount if Josh completes the marathon, and twice that amount if he runs under 2 hours 50 minutes (over 7 minutes faster than his previous best time). In addition, Josh and his wife will match total aggregate donations up to $2,500.
Josh is married with 2 children and is currently a Director with Perella Weinberg Partners. His family and employer have both been extremely supportive of Josh's running.

I've created two search fields.
Search field 1 - Search by entering a city name (or a partial city name) - this works fine. (I am using the 'colname3' variable for this).
Search field 2 - I want the user to search by number with an exact match, e.g. they enter '123456' to return record '123456' from the database.
I can't seem to get this to work properly, at the moment I'm using the 'colname3' variable below which returns partial results e.g. '123' returns result '123456'.
How can I modify this so the user has to enter the exact number to return the required result?
This is the variable I'm using:
Type: text
Default value: -1
Runtime value: $_GET['jobnumberfield']
This is the SQL statement:

WHERE job_no LIKE %colname3%

First person:
This trip was such an eye opening experience for me. During spring semester, I learned about the people, places and cultures that we would be visiting; however, I dont think anything could have prepared me for what I encountered.
The first week of the trip I worked at Bonham Elementary School. I thought this experience would be no different from the field experiences I had at Bluffton University. Wow, was I wrong! The classroom I was placed in was a bilingual preschool, and it looked the same as the classrooms I was used to except for the ethnicity of the students (all Hispanics, except for one). When class started and everyone spoke in Spanish, I felt completely out of my element. It was the first time in my life where I felt in the minority. It was definitely a culture shock.
For three days during the trip, I volunteered at MANNA, a soup kitchen only a few blocks from the Alamo. A little old lady named Winny, whom the homeless respected as if she were their grandma, ran the place. This experience had a huge impact on me. Growing up in a small town, I have been fairly sheltered throughout my life. I had envisioned homeless people as being dirty, wearing raggedy clothes, pushing a shopping cart, begging for money, and most of all, being uneducated. Through my time serving lunch at MANNA, I saw people who did fit that stereotype, as well as people who looked just like me. Some were high school dropouts, others had masters degrees, yet they were all grateful for us for volunteering our time. I cannot count the number of times we were thanked. The people I encountered at MANNA were some of the poorest, yet most caring and appreciative people I have ever met. Looking back, I am ashamed of myself for creating this image in my head of what homeless people were like without having any experiences with them.
This trip also made me aware of problems bigger than my own. Id never realized I had such an easy life until I was exposed firsthand to the conditions in which some people live. The neighborhoods in Mexico where the families of the Maquiladora workers reside were one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen. The Colonias in Texas were much the same. They didnt have paved roads, appropriate housing, running water or disease prevention. These families had each other, and for that they seemed grateful. I cannot imagine living such a life. There seemed to be no escape for their problems because of the vicious cycle in which they have been caught. Their voices will never be heard unless people like me spread awareness about the experiences I had with them.
The most important lesson I learned from this trip is that the best way to learn about others is to become immersed in their culture. No textbook, lecture or PowerPoint presentation could have given me so much knowledge, raised so many questions or given me such a desire to learn more, as this cross cultural experience has done.

Good for them, but what's with the disproportionate amount of money awarded?
Kinda makes me want to buy a plane ticket to the States, get gay bashed, sue, take the damages and retire to Réunion.
And in the process I could prove the trickle down economics works by buying painted shells and fish and… whatever the local savages are up to these days.
Sorry for the rant but I really, really detest their compensation system!
Lucius, as someone who's lived in Réunion and has family there, I resent that bit about that place. Maybe you could start a tourism helicopter business instead, those work marvels.
Have you ever been gay bashed? Well I have and it changed my life forever and not in a good way. I had post traumatic stress, panic attacks and became an agrphobe afraid to leave my home. Don't tell me the United States over compensates. You have no idea what the beating will do to these mens mental state. Burger King is responsible for the actions of the employees while at work.
So you're saying an insane amount of money would alleviate your symptoms? Wouldn't you just be stuck at home, still with your PTSD and agoraphobia, only this time ordering ridiculous things off ebay all day?
The compensation should "only" cover the costs of litigation, work absence, medical treatment and possible future psychiatric help. Maybe a few extra bucks for that ice cream or a dinner to celebrate the victory.
In my opinion, even more disturbing than the gay bashing event itself is people thinking of a trolley dash while the courtroom seat is still hot.
That's according to you. Ideally, the bigger the company, the bigger should be the punishment in a form of a compensation. If you don't apply it that way, the bigger the company, the easier it will laugh out the (comparatively) little compensations it has to pay for the people that were damaged for its policies or lack of. So that is a way to force the company into granting a fair response to what happened so it never happens again, instead of absorbing the cost as just another economical little detail.
You can debate who should receive the money, whether the state –representing all the people- or the victims, or the amount of the split. But you can't say it's the same to fine a little shop than a huge company.
Yet another debate is when the company had all their policies right and an employee acted out of the blue like a loony, but this was clearly not the case.
Where is the statement from Burger king regarding the present employment status of the manager and the staff who committed the asault? Are they still working for Burger King? A disgrace if they are!Where is the apollogy to the LGBT community? What are they doing as a company to stop this happening again? The fine is great but lots of unanswered questions!
Completely agree with you… What is it with some gay folk? We are all supposed to fit into the stereotype… Fine dining, gym-bunnies, scene queens, living in flash studio apartments overlooking the Thames…
Some of us live in a more real world and would appreciate being able to grab a quick burger without being abused and bashed?
I agree with the commenter who said that it was not the taxpayer who had to pay the compensation so what is the problem? The franchise holder should have had to pay MORE in fact.. This kind of behaviour should not be tolerated.
I also would like to know what Burger Kings view about this franchise holder is… Have the employees (including a manager who should know better) been sacked?
That would perhaps have been a better way to finish the article rather than going onto some old story about another gay restaurant employee which was not related to Burger King!
What a disturbing story. Such open hatred. I doubt $3m will erase the memory but it goes some way to showing companies that employing thugs is a call you have to take responsibilty for.
Don't you think these amounts awarded need to be high to show people this kind of behaviour cannot be acceptable.
Kinda makes me want to buy a plane ticket to the States, get gay bashed, sue, take the damages and retire to Réunion
a rather, silly and juvenile comment from someone who has never had the misfortune of being beaten up for being gay. Shame on you!
Misfortune here, fortune in the States. That's the whole issue, genius. No one was condoning gay bashing, just the litigation part…
Lucius, the settlement was awarded by the court, and included $1.7 million in punitive damages. This settlement was determined by the court not by the victims.
The amount the victims were suing for, following the criminal conviction of two of the eight members of staff, who it is reported assaulted them, for aggravated assault, doesn't appear to have been published but it may well have been substantially different from the settlement amount.
The restaurant franchisee doesn't not appear to have been making any public comments on the issue i.e. no apology, similarly the franchiser, Burger King seems to have been similarly quiet. Although Burger King did not own the restaurant it has got Burger King on the door and was selling the Burger King product, and I would I think 'reasonably' customers could expect that if the Burger King brand name faces potential damage, they would act in a way to reduce damage to the brand.
What is notable here is that there don't seem to be any damage lim
And the police charged the customers with assault????? Did I read that right??? So glad I only had to spend 3 years living in NJ!

A convicted burglar who was captured after a nationwide manhunt was sentenced to 30 months in state prison last week.
Former Graeagle resident Rebecca Victoria Loretz, 38, was sentenced Tuesday, May 22, by Judge Carl F. Bryan in Plumas County Superior Court.
Loretz, who faced a potential eight years in prison, received a lighter sentence from the visiting judge. Bryan said that Loretz's lack of a criminal record and the fact that her crimes occurred relatively close together against people she knew outweighed her continuing pattern of criminality and the damage she caused.
Loretz is expected to serve about half of the 30 months. She also received custody credit for 180 days served.
Plumas County District Attorney David Hollister said he was disappointed about the relatively light sentence.
"While I respect the process and ruling by the visiting judge, the sentence was inconsistent with the continued and consistent criminality of the defendant," Hollister said.
Hollister said he was pleased to know that Loretz would be serving her time in state prison.
"She will be released with two 'strike' convictions on her record," Hollister said, adding that could "dissuade her from any future crimes."
Loretz was convicted by a Plumas County jury Nov. 2, 2011, on several felony counts, including residential burglary and receiving stolen property.
The day the jury was set to render its decision, Loretz failed to show up at the Plumas County courthouse. Instead, she attempted suicide in her Sparks apartment.
After being released from Reno Renown Regional Medical Center Nov. 11, 2011, Loretz failed to show up at a Reno mental hospital.
After nearly four months on the run, she was caught and arrested Feb. 22 in Los Angeles by United States marshals, who were working in close contact with Plumas County's sheriff and district attorney.
Loretz's stepmother, Zoe Wolf, said in November 2011 that Loretz's failed attempt to kill herself was "all a big ploy."
"Trust me," Wolf said. "This woman is the drama queen of the century. She's doing everything she can to keep from going to prison."
Wolf and her husband, Art Wolf, who live in Graeagle, were among Loretz's victims.
Loretz burglarized the Wolfs' home and later stole property from a home she was renting.
In late 2009, after months of dissension with Art Wolf, Loretz was served with a move-out order forcing her to leave her father's Graeagle residence.
After Loretz moved out and Wolf took possession of the home, he left town for the weekend.
That's when Loretz broke into Wolf's house and stole more than $10,000 worth of items. Among the items she took were her deceased mother's ashes.
Months later, Loretz and her husband, Martin Loretz, rented another house in Graeagle.
While there, Loretz stole approximately $50,000 worth of the homeowner's property.
In an effort to hide her crime, Loretz called the police and reported the home had been burglarized while she was away.
About a month after the reported burglary, the Plumas County Sheriff's Office served Loretz with search warrants.
Deputies and detectives searched Graeagle Mini Storage units rented by Loretz. They also searched the home Loretz and her husband were renting at the time.
The searches turned up much of the stolen property from both of Loretz's burglaries.
Martin Loretz, who faced charges similar to those of his wife, pleaded guilty Nov. 10, 2011, to one felony count of first-degree burglary.
He was sentenced Jan. 27 to two years in state prison.
At her sentencing, Rebecca Loretz offered an apology to her victims and said that any wrongdoing on her part was caused by a 20-year drug addiction.
Her jury trial lasted six days. It featured testimony of 14 witnesses, including herself.
Loretz contended at the time that she was not responsible for the burglaries. She said the items stolen were either hers to begin with, or were taken by some other person.
Hollister said it was "a particularly difficult and trying case for the victims and the investigating officers."
"(Loretz) perpetrated crimes not only based on financial motivation but also out of spite," Hollister said. "In an effort to conceal her criminality, the defendant made numerous false complaints about the deputies she encountered."
Hollister noted his appreciation of the efforts of Plumas County Sheriff's Detective Mike Smith, District Attorney Investigative Assistant Jessica Beatley, the Washoe County District Attorney's Office and the United States Marshals Office in tracking and apprehending Loretz.

Facebook 3.0 Soon To Be Released On App Store
The highly anticipated update to the Facebook App has been submitted to Apple for approval.
The 3.0 update brings many feature rich optimizations to the iPhone App following Apple's public release of Firmware 3.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch. New in this update is a totally revamped user interface, news feed and functions for creating Photo Albums. However, the 3.0 update lacks push notification which is scheduled for the 3.1 release. Joe Hewitt posted details about the new Facebook iPhone App on his Twitter feed:

A new update is ready for SlingPlayer that will enable 3G streaming for non-US iPhones if Apple approves the App.
If you've been following the recent controversy surrounding Apple's ridiculous App Store rules then you surely know that one of the more popular Apps available, SlingPlayer, is limited to use over an active WiFi connection. However, the App was supposed to use both WiFi and 3G to stream content from a compatible SlingBox until AT&T stepped in and asked Apple not to approve the App as it would consume too much bandwidth. While Apple and AT&T have yet to allow a 3G compatible SlingBox, a version for iPhones outside of the US will be made available that brings the feature.
"The 1.1 update will be capable of showing 16 x 9 video to fill the entire screen of an iPhone or iPod touch. Additionally, the remote control interface has been updated and overall speed and response times have been improved. The added DISH Network support allows the app to connect directly to DISH hardware and pull guide information that can be easily searched within the app."

iPhone 3.1, Beta 3 Released To Developers
Apple has seeded out its 3rd beta of Firmware 3.1 to developers which supplants the recently expired 2nd beta.
Along with the usual bug fixes, beta 3 comes in at 307MB but brings some more improvements. Copy and paste for videos has been improved allowing the capture of bigger files as Justin of WhenWillApple explains:
"I was able to copy, paste, and email a 33 second / 14.7MB file through gmail. I got the file at the full 640×480 / 30fps. Sending the same file via the share function yeild a file size of 3.21MB at the compressed 480×320 / 30fps."
Also, a counter for tethered data appears alongside cellular data usage in the network settings.

more...Digital Compass Supplier For iPhone Found?
Specs have been piling in on what the next generation iPhone will pack, one of them being a digital compass that will of course give you the exact direction you were facing when taking a picture or which way to walk in Google Maps. While it's all up in the air at this point, Asahi Kasei may be the confirmed magnetometer supplier for the iPhone.
The hint was found in some header files for the newest Firmware 3.0 Beta. Apple Insider has more on the chip:
More specifically, the files identify Asahi Kasei's azimuth sensor No. AK8973, a 16-pin leadless IC package measuring 4mm square and 0.7mm thick, as the chip that will help future iPhone users determine their direction. It bundles a master clock oscillator.
While we'll have to wait for the official spec unveiling once Apple introduces the next generation iPhone, it wouldn't be surprising to see this make it's way in to the final hardware build. It's expected APple will unveil the next generation iPhone during it's annual World Wide Developers Conference just as it did last year with the iPhone 3G.

Background Processes Could Be Coming To iPhone 3.0 After All
The run around between background processing for select Apps and Push Notification emulating such functionality has been a favorite topic for the rumor mill and even when Apple vehemently denied allowing Apps to run once they're closed, the hope for having more than one App run at a time didn't diminish. This time around, Apple may allow background processing on the next generation iPhone thanks to improvements in the underlying Hardware.
It's rumored that the next generation iPhone will see a small bump to its Hardware specs, the most notable being the jump in RAM from 128 MB to 256 MB according to a Chinese tipster. Secondly, Apple may be considering a special set of designated Apps that can run in the background or continue separate processes (such as downloading or media playback) which could be selected by the user. As of now, the current Beta of Firmware 3.0 only supports Push Notification but once Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference rolls around, we could see more additions to each Beta build.

more...Next Generation iPhone Could Come With Compass, Won't Screw Up At The Poles
While digital everything seems to be the mantra of today's tech obsessed world, what better than to digitize everything including a compass in the next generation iPhone?
Hidden settings in the Firmware 3.0 indicate that a magnetometer support will be available once the Software exits out of Beta in to its final release. The Magnetometer in the iPhone would allow Apps to recognize which direction the user is pointing and work hand in hand with Google Maps to create accurate turn-by-turn directions.

more...iPhone Firmware 3 Takes Better Pics Than Earlier Firmwares
As Apple rolls out updates for the iPhone, new features are being piled in for developers to test out to their hearts content but a few things obviously slip by like the improved image quality of snapshots in Firmware 3.0.
According to iPhones.ru (the premier iPhone website if your language gamut spans Russian and Apple) Firmware 3.0 takes better snapshots and have shown it off with a side by side comparison.

more...Apple Accelerates iPhone 3.0 development
Coming only 8 days after the iPhone 3.0 beta 4, Apple has released iPhone beta 5.
With WWDC just a month away, this could indicate Apple is trying to have iPhone 3.0 all but ready for launch around the same time. My gut feeling had been we wouldn't see it or new iPhones available until early July, but hopefully this is an indicator of something sooner.
more...Developers Are Reporting Seeing A Pink Screen Of Death With Newest Beta Firmware
A small amount of developers who have downloaded Beta 4 of the 3.0 Firmware are reporting that a "pink screen of death" appears after installing the Software.
The pink screen of death that shows up in this Beta disappears for most when they restart their devices and may have been caused by the way they install the Firmware. A majority of those who have been plagued by PSOD installed the Beta Firmware through Xcode instead of downloading the iTunes 8.2 prerelease and using that to install but the root cause is still unknown.
This isn't the first time developers have been hit with a pink screen of death. When Apple was late in seeding out the third Beta for the Firmware 2.0 last year, the current Beta expired and rendered most iPhones and iPod Touches used for development inoperable.

TWO men were hospitalised following a stabbing in Parker St, Devonport, on Saturday night.
A 28-year-old Devonport man was in a critical but stable condition in the Royal Hobart Hospital yesterday with "numerous stab wounds in the back area".
Another man, a 42-year- old from Devonport, was treated at the North West Regional Hospital for a stab wound to his hand. He was later released.
Police were called to attend the Parker St address around 8pm on Saturday.
Detective Inspector Rob Gunton, from Devonport CIB, said the 28-year-old with wounds to his back was conscious when police found him.
"I believe he was placed in an induced coma and taken to the Royal Hobart Hospital, but as I say, I only have scant details in relation to that."
Det-Insp Gunton said one of the injured was an occupant of the house where the incident is alleged to have occurred, while the other is a friend.
Two men have been charged in relation to the matter.
One, a 38-year-old from Devonport, appeared before the Magistrates Court in Devonport yesterday charged with grievous bodily harm.
The other, a 34-year-old from Burnie, was charged with assault.
Det-Insp Gunton did not rule out the possibility that drugs or alcohol played a role.
"I'm not in a position to be able to comment on that at this point," he said.
Police believe the weapon used was a knife.
"At this point we believe one (weapon), but as I say the investigation is in its early stages," Det-Insp Gunton said.
"We have seized some items of interest and once we advance our investigation we will be in a position to release further information."
Det-Insp Gunton said Police have a number of witnesses, but they would like to hear from anyone who may have information.
Street lights in Parker St between Ronald and Adam Sts were turned off last night in order to assist the forensic examination of the area.
Anyone with information regarding the incident should contact Devonport Police on 6421 7511 or CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.

Biofilm, Medical Devices, Your Pool or Spa
Last week we talked about biofilm, the microscopic colony of bacteria that lives where water, bacteria and any surface meet. Scientists who study bacteria in the laboratory have known about biofilm for 10-15 years. It has taken that long for the laboratory bench research to impact our daily lives and biofilm impacts just about everything. Think about it: combine water, a surface and bacteria and you have instant biofilm.
Biofilm: A Slime City
A recent article in the July/August 2009 issue of Discover by Wendy Orent called "Slime City" talked about biofilm and its impact on medicine and implanted medical devices. She did a great job describing what is known about biofilm and how it causes serious diseases and problems in the body. View the article: http://discovermagazine.com/2009/jul-aug/17-slime-city-germs-talk-each-other-plan-attacks/?searchterm=Slime
The same biofilm that coats medical devices, your teeth, or an infected bone or wound covers every surface of your pool or spa. All disinfectants such as chlorine, bromine, ozone, cooper or silver are effective killers of bacteria that swim in the water. Unfortunately, that's only 1-2% of the bacteria that populate a pool or spa. The rest are safely protected from the disinfectants by biofilm.
The colony in biofilm is static. It is alive just like a city. The bacteria move, send off microscopic streamers of biofilm containing bacteria to settle on other surfaces, send off microscopic balls of biofilm to roll along the surface to start a new colony, and provide a nursery for bacteria to multiply and replace those that die off.
A Slime City in your pool or spa?
You see the effects of the biofilm streamers when your spa forms foam on the surface of the water. Biofilm free water in a spa doesn't foam. The air bubbles injected into the water from the jets come to the surface and pop. Biofilm in pools and spas cause the rings and scale on the pool sides. It also causes cloudy water.
Recently, the scientists at the Center for Biofilm Engineering at Montana State University (http://www.erc.montana.edu/) discovered that biofilm causes corrosion of metals. At the interface of the metal surface and the biofilm the pH is around 1 and there is a small electrical current produced by the bacteria. The combination can cause electrolysis of almost all metals.
Think of your spa or pool's heater cores, motors, seals and metal fittings. The microscopic biofilm is slowly eating the metal causing mechanical failures that are costly to replace.
The take home message is that biofilm is a major contributor and cause of most problems in pools and spas. So, how do you get rid of it? Tune in next week for more.

Should we be bracing ourselves for a YSE to OSE mass migration?
I was just thinking, now that YSE is finally about to become no-more, that's likely to mean OSE and Majestic get an influx of people who previously used that mostly... I wonder if there will be numbers enough to clog things up and slow things down?
Maybe it just seems like their are millions of us SEO's in giant herds marauding the plains of the web when in-fact there's not that many of us really, and we get a distorted, non-relative view of numbers due to being immersed in it.
There's definitely ten times more than there was three years ago... I know some of you old fogies (just kidding) have been going a lot longer than that but the UK had a tiny fraction of agencies offering SEO of what it does now.
*I reckon there should be a new question topic added for people like me, called random nonsense or something... I didn't know what to select for this question :D

Frequently Asked Questions about PMS
How do natural herbs provide relief for PMS and cramps so fast?
What is the recommended amount?
Take one packet the day before your period starts OR as soon as you get your period OR whenever you have uncomfortable symptoms. One packet per day is usually enough for most women. If you have extremely uncomfortable periods you may want to take one packet in the morning and one in the evening. Just mix a packet in 1 cup of water or more. Most women like to drink it warm but if you prefer drink it at room temperature.
Do I need to take this every day?
No, PMS Relief is needed only during your menstrual cycle, or 1-2 days before your cycle for severe symptoms. Taking one packet the day or two before menses start will really help moderate all your uncomfortable symptoms. Our product works best one day before onset of symptoms. Take one packet each day during your most uncomfortable days.
Is this product just for cramps or can it help my PMS mood swings?
PMS Relief is the ultimate women's health formula. Women of all ages who suffer from mood swings due to changes in their hormones. This product supports your sense of physical and mental well being. PMS Relief Herb Pac is appropriate for any woman wanting to feel her very best.
How safe are Chinese herbs?
Chinese herbs have been used for literally thousands of years. Asian cultures use herbs in a variety of everyday food products, from teas, soups, congees ( healthy oatmeal) to meat dishes which contain herbs to help digest the meat. Today's medicinal herbs have been researched and studied extensively. So much research has been done in fact that we now can distinguish exactly which active ingredients such as flavonoids, glycosides, tanins, polysaccirides and alkaloids exist in each plant species. Many of these are the same active ingredients in our prescription drugs. Alkaloids for example have been manufactured as various pain killer drugs such as morphine. Tannins, are the chemicals known as the healthy antioxidants found in red wines that show beneficial effects on vascular health.
When is the best time to take PMS Relief, daytime or nighttime, with food or without food?
For best results, we recommended to take before eating so you can fully digest the herbs without competing with other foods. But this is not a strict rule and you certainly eat immediately after taking PMS Relief and you will still see excellent results. Our natural herbal remedy is made for busy lifestyle, easy to take with you on the go and as easy as swallowing a � cup (or less) of water. We prefer warm water and drinking a cup of tea, but you may want to dissolve in a thermos bottle that can be carried with you and drank throughout the day.
I am 21 years old and have been suffering from severe period cramps. I have been taking other products with several of the ingredients listed on your label. What makes your product different?
We have the only Chinese herb product in packets available on the market. Packets protect the herbs potency because they are air and water sealed. Natural products like herbs tend to decay, naturally. Just like the banana on your sink counter turns brown after a few days. Herbs get stale in capsules and plastic bottles. They lose potency over time. Always check for a manufacturers expiration date. Only the best manufacturer use a date the others just put herbs into capsules that sit on store shelves for years. Herbs placed in capsules also require filler so the machinery doesn't clog during the filling process. That mean each capsule is about 50% filler and 50% herbal ingredients. You need to take a handful of capsules to get a sufficient dose of most herbal products. Our Packets have 6 grams of concentrated extract. This is the reason our products work so effectively.
How long do I need to be taking PMS Relief before I feel results?
Most women fell better within the hour. Some feel better within 30 minites. It varies for every woman. Many women report the more they use our product, the less they need it. It's not uncommon to hear that on the third month of use, women say they only need one packet at the beginning of their entire 5 day menstrual cycle. Having a pain free, irritability free monthly cycle is possible. The results will come and you will feel a sense of well-being, peace, and joy. Once you get the desired results you wonder why you didn't use PMS Relief sooner.
Is it safe to take Chinese herbs for a long time?
I'm glad you asked. There is no evidence of any toxicity or major adverse affects with the herbs we use. Our herbs have been laboratory tested for contaminants such as pesticides and heavy metals. Take a look at or factory tour here to see how our herbs are processed. http://www.pacherbs.com/factory-tour Chinese herbs have been studied extensively for the last 50 years and you can find many good articles about Chinese herbs at http://www.pacherbs.com

Dog Training Advice: You Can Change Your Dog's Behavior and Stop Being Embarrassed
Article by Cris Santeiro
Are you the proud owner of a new dog? Looking for some helpful dog training advice to get you started?
Getting a dog is an experience that can change your life. It's much like welcoming a new (and rather rowdy) member into the family, really; a period of adjustment and change. For people who live alone, it can be a lesson in responsibility, in learning to take care of the needs of another creature. For those with families, the experience can be a lesson in patience, getting along ("Ma, the dog ate my sandwich again!") and friendship. They're not called "man's best friend" for nothing, after all.
Having a dog is a much greater experience for both of you when the dog is disciplined. Dog training advice is essential in order to have a well behaved dog who is pleasant to be around. Starting with house training as well as behavioral training, make your dog one that you will be happy to take anywhere.
Nobody wants a dog who jumps on people all the time, or a dog who barks or growls continually. It can get very frustrating and annoying for you and others. These are all signs of aggression which are not healthy for your dog, and can be very embarrassing for you. Some small dogs get away with a lot more aggressive behavior because of their size.
I adore my two wiener dogs, and wouldn't change them for anything. However, I realized that they had dominant behavior which was causing trouble at the dog park, as well as when I had people over and they would jump all over them.
One day I decided to take charge and address these problems. A trainer would have been very expensive, so that was out of the question. I was able to find the excellent dog training advice that I much needed and today I can enjoy my pups a lot more and don't have to worry that they will cause trouble and embarrassment.
About the Author
It is very important to address your dog's habits. Here is the dog training advice that I found that will easily teach you how to effectively change your dog's behavior. For more information, feel free to use this great resource on dog training advice.

-Stepan Shahumyan's museum
-Vardablur village
-Communists caves
Essential first step of your stay in Stepanavan: visiting the Museum of Stepan Shahumyan. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the centuries-old history of the city of Stepanavan which was populated between the 3rd and 1st centuries B.C. as is evidenced by tombs, mausoleums, ceramics, and pottery found in the surrounding area and showed in the museum.
In the 5th century, the Saint Astvatsatsin church was built. It was destroyed during Soviet times. It's ruins are located where the Yerevan restaurant currently sits, which is on the edge of the canyon.
In 1604, a settlement called Chechmanis was built. The inhabitants of the settlement were Armenian emigrants who escaped from the persecutions of Shah Abas. The settlement grew and established itself as the town of Jalaloghly, in honor of the Jalalyan princes. In 1923, Jalaloghly was renamed Stepanavan, on behalf of the Bolshevik Armenian, Stepan Shahumyan.
Crafts are also on display, which are from the time of the life of Stepan Shahumyan, the "Caucasian Lenin", whose house is preserved inside the museum! A photo gallery commemorates different events that have marked the history of Stepanavan.
After immersing yourself into the history of the city, you can go to Vardablur, a village located about 17 minutes outside Stepanavan where the mountain Surp Sargis reaches a height of over 1500 meters.
You can reach Vardablur by foot, bicycle, or by taxi (approximate cost ?).
If you go there on a Sunday, you will have the opportunity to attend Mass at the Church of St. Jgrashen. This church dates back to about the fifth or sixth century. Itâ™s here that Komitas, a very famous bishop, ethnomusicologist, composer, and singer wrote the song Lori Horovel.
On the way back, just before reaching Gulagarak, make a stop at the village Hobardzy (indicated by a sign) where you can have lunch at the restaurant Ouren which is conveniently located at the village entrance. You can't miss it, as it's surrounded by weeping willows.
To get back to Stepanavan, take the bus which leaves from the bus stop just outside the village (find exact times). The last bus leaves Hobardzy at 3pm.
---If you are cycling, make a detour through the village of Harmrakitz right off the main road where there is an abandoned Russian church called Kirov.---
There is a sign which points the way to the Communists Caves.
Caves of the Communists ("Mayori Dzor" or "The Gorge Commander") are on the edge of the precipitous gorge Dzoraget, they served as secret location for meetings organized by the revolutionary Chahumyan Stepan (1878-1918) who contributed to the imposition of Bolshevik authority in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The site is easy to find, thanks to what remains of changes dating back to Soviet times. At the edge of the gorge there is a small park with a sculpture of Stepan Chahumyan and a staircase that leads right to the caves, down the canyon. On the way you can see engravings on the rocks.
-Lori Berd
At the dramatic intersection of the Dzoraget and Urut river canyons is located the remains of 10th century Lori Berd Fortress. The site is known to Stepanavan locals as âœAshot Yerkatâ� or âœAshot the Ironâ� in memory of the rule of the king known by this nickname.
How to get there?
The site, approximately 4.5 kilometers outside of Stepanavan, can be reached by taxi or by a pleasant walk on foot.
From the center of town, cross the Dzoraget Bridge to the northern bank of the gorge and turn right at the roundabout. Continue east along the road, which parallels the gorge. Continue until you reach the intersection of the main road with that entering into the village of Lori Berd on your right. Turn right at this intersection and continue straight through the village. If you look carefully, you will see stones with distinctive markings built into the walls of some of the village homes. These stones, taken from the original fortifications, bear witness to the fact that the village was relocated from within the walls of the fortress itself to its current site in the 1920s or â˜30s. As you approach the fortress, youâ™ll find the Lori Berd village cemetery on your right.
At the entrance to the fortress is a picnic area and parking lot which lead to the arched entry gate of the massive walls that once protected the northern side of the settlement. Enter through this gate and follow the concrete walkway, installed during Soviet times, to the bathhouse outside of which are two stone bath tubs, complete with drainage holes. Inside the bathhouse, remains of a complex plumbing system can be found embedded in the interior walls in the form of a double row of clay pipes --presumably for hot and cold water.
Continue along the concrete pathway to find the church which shows proof of the Muslim occupation in its niche carved into the Mecca-facing southern wall. The path leads to the edge of the Dzoraget Gorge and down to a small kitchen or bath structure which once housed a complex system of pipes. From this vantage point, the security that the canyon walls offered is clear, as the cliffs drop off precipitously to the river below.
This is the end of the first part of the walk. But maybe, Stepan Shahumyan inspired you so much that you want to stay here and organize a secret meeting with your friends⦠Itâ™s up to you.
Double back and follow the pathway as it winds through ruins of homes and other structures to eventually come upon a massive grind-stone, likely used for milling grain or producing oil. Further along, as you return to the entry-gate, you will find a small khachkar to the right.
Exit by the gate and turn right to find the ancient cobbled path switch-backing into the valley to the bridge below. As you descend, you will see a memorial carved into the cliff to your left to a man who fell into the gorge while hunting. The vaulted medieval bridge at the bottom of the gorge crosses the Urut River leading to several carvings of crosses and other designs in the rock face on the other side, as well as to a popular spring to the right. Under the bridge is a perfect picnic spot, complete with barbecue area and fire ring for a teakettle. Perfect to make a good khorovats (barbecue) ! So donâ™t forget to bring everything you need to eat. Yummy !
After eating, no time for a siesta... just a short walk will bring you to your next destination !
Climb halfway back up and turn left along the path that leads to the intersection of the gorges where the vestiges of a guard tower can be seen to the right. In the river itself can be found the stone pier of what was once an even larger bridge crossing the Dzoraget River. A carved lion is visible on the face of the pier. According to legend, it is only thanks to the strength of the egg-based mortar used in the construction of the bridge that any part of the structure remains.
From the gorge intersection, it is possible to return to the fortress walls up the winding cobblestone path by which you descended or to return on foot along the river valleyââ�a cool, manageable 4.5 kilometer walk which affords a good view of the Communist Caves (See tour n°1).
If you have chosen this way (good choice), continue following the narrow path, sometimes difficult to find in the tall grass, which leads toward the hydroelectric plant (which you may have seen from above). Pass the hydroelectric plant, being mindful of the barking (but not biting!) guard dogs, and continue along the clear trail on the right-hand side of the gorge. Along the way back to the center, you will see the Communist Caves, identifiable by the stairway leading down the side of the gorge, on your left. You will pass under the modern Dzoraget Bridge and find the small bridge it replaced on your left. Cross the river and follow the switchbacks up the gorge. There it is, you are back to the center of Stepanavan !
-Kurtan village
-Hnevank monastery
Located about 20 kilometers from Stepanavan is the village of Kurtan, known throughout the region for the nearby ruins of the Hnevank monastery. This site is a great excuse for a walk into nature, to stretch the legs a little bit and enjoy the fresh air of Lori. But if a walk does not appeal to you, nothing prevents your arrival by bus (for schedule look at the www.stepanavaninfo.am) or by bike, of course.
The route is not complicated; just take the main road out of Stepanavan, pass through the Amrakits village, and veer left when you see the road sign to Gyulagarak, Vardablur, and Kurtan. When you enter Kurtan, turn to your right and continue into the gorge.
The church is a semi-free triconch structure (meaning that it contains three apses, or semi-circular recesses covered by hemispherical domes, arranged off the main room in the direction of the compass points) towards the east. The monasteryâ™s dome is supported by an octagonal drum. To the west, where the fourth apse of a tetraconch structure would be, is the monasteryâ™s gavit, or arched-ceiling entryway. The gavit was added between 1186 and 1206. The monastery is surrounded by several service buildings such as the monkâ™s residence.
After this long hike into the gorge, you could enjoy a good khorovats (Armenian barbecue) or a picnic near the monastery. If you wish, you can even set up camp there for the night.
On your way back, if you have time, you may be interested in visiting Kurtanâ™s museum. Artifacts from every-day life in 19th century of this region can be viewed here. The museum also contains pictures and even a recreation of a typical living room, which will shed light on life in Armenia during the period.
The museum does not have regular hours of operation, so in order to access it, simply contact a member of the Information Centre in Stepanavan who will make the necessary arrangements so that the museum will open upon your arrival.
-The Dendropark
Founded in 1933 by the forest engineer Edmon Leonovich, the Dendropark Botanical Garden features a diversity of tree species brought from different regions of the world. It is also a place of rest, green and fresh, even during hottest times of summer.
The Dendropark can be reached by taxi or by a lovely bicycle ride along the shady, tree-lined highway, 12 kilometers from Stepanavan and just outside the village of Gyulagarak.
Heading toward Vanadzor from Stepanavan, continue along the main road, pass through the village Amrakits, and turn left at the Gyulagarak village intersection. On your left about 50m later, you will pass the earthquake-ruined remains of the local church. In Gyulagarak, turn right at the first intersection and follow the road up the hill, past the ruins of the 6th century Tormak church on your right. Further up the hill, on the left, youâ™ll find the Hekyat Restaurant (âœFairy Tale,â� in Armenian) where you can dine at tables nestled around a brook in the forest. Rumor has it that the best khorovats (Armenian barbecue) in the area can be found here !
The road ends at the Dendropark and the neighboring bronchitis health center. Enter the Dendropark through the marked gate and explore the many winding paths through well-labeled tree specimens.
At the end of the path, you will find the arboretum.
A little bit of history :
In the 1930s, during his work for the Forestry Commission in the area, Edmon Leonovich started planting ornamental trees on its own initiative. Gradually, he introduced new trees into natural forest clearings which flourished and left the main forest species to be the Siberian pine. Today, the Botanical Garden occupies 35 hectares of which 17.5 are composed of natural forest and 15 of ornamental trees.
It is thought that the Dendropark is the first place in the Trans Caucasus region where the natural forest had been reorganized into a Forest Park. The Botanical Garden is natural Stepanavan forest augmented with ornamental plants and avenues of linden (Tilia cordata), featuring introduced tree specimens such as Juglans, Malus, Populus and Pyrus.
Most of the new species were introduced from other botanical gardens through exchange programs between the Yerevan Botanical Garden and its counterparts around the world. Species have been imported from Germany, France, Portugal, China and the United States. There are now over 500 non-native species.
The collection is of great scientific interest and provides the opportunity to study changes the plants undergo when introduced into these new environmental conditions.
Of particular interest are the greenhouses where Edmon Leonovichâ™s, cultivates evergreen seedlings for sale to re-forestation programs; the founder remained the Dendroparkâ™s director until 1984, when his son took over the position. The site was designated as a protected site in 1998.
Late April or early May, if you're lucky enough to find yourself in Stepanavan, you can enjoy this unique time to breathe the air scented by blossoming pine trees. Before the fall of the Soviet Union there was a sanatorium near the
Dendropark which welcomed children with asthma and other respiratory problems. Today this place, called Sochut, has been completely renovated and offers an ideal retreat for anyone wishing to escape the polluted air of big cities.
Remember to get a little honey in the region known as the Doctorâ™s Syrup (Bjishki meghr)--it is excellent !
Please note that picnicking and eating are forbidden within the boundaries of Dendropark. Locals exit the gate and take advantage of clearings in the nearby forest to picnic.

Phone Stuck in Roaming
HI everyone. I've been trying to figure this one out all day. I updated to Cyanogenmod 10.1 from 10 and since the upgrade I've lost my net work. My service bars are there with the roaming notification. I can't make calls or connect to data. I've done the following to try to fix:
- Restored from backup
- flashed different radios
- Odin restore to stock (Jellybean)
- Odin restore to original stock
- Rerooted
- Unlocked bootloader
- Flashed cyanogenmod
After all this I have gotten no where so I must ask for advise. Along with flashing I've done complete factory resets as well. Any thoughts? Thanks - 12-21-2012, 07:19 PM #2
Re: Phone Stuck in Roaming

Re: Phone Stuck in Roaming
Thanks for the reply. I've also repaired my IMEI and ERI. Now instead of a little R I get a roaming triangle. Still not working.
Re: Phone Stuck in Roaming
i finally gave up.. i reset the flash counter and restored to stock and brought it back to verizon.. they worked on it for a couple of hours and couldn't figure it out either.. luckily they replace it for me under warranty.. (returned to stock)
Re: Phone Stuck in Roaming
This happened to me yesterday I wish I could have seen this sooner. What you have to do is Oden it back to ics then type *2767*3855# and it Will reset everything back to normal. Works without fail.

Re: Phone Stuck in Roaming
Verizon GS3 running cm10 with this same issue - phone Is stuck roaming. Strangely, it didn't happen during a flash - I shut it off while it was on airplane mode and when it came back on I was in roaming. I have since flashed back to stock and reprovisioned, but no dice. Edit - imei and phone number and both still intact.

Beautiful dress
The picture of this dress does it no justice. It is a beautiful satin dress, made very well. Fully lined and great fit. Had to have hemmed however that was a personal preference. Could have been worn as it came. Great purchase. Online purchase was quick and easy.

So happy with this dress
I was so nervous ordering online. This is really a perfect dress. I have always had issues with dresses because I have a large chest and bottom but a small waist and the dresses tend to be too big in the waist if they fit everywhere else. The dress has a stretchy quality to it so it hug my curves perfectly without me feeling like I am going to rip the material. I actually bought my pant size to make sure it would fit around the bottom and it does, like a glove. I am so excited to wear this dress!
April 17, 2013
Im having more of a formal dinner/cocktail wedding and needed a simple classy dress. the pictures dont do it justice, the material is a thick shiny satin and the gathering on the side of pearls are not cheap! They are very beautiful pearls and it fits perfect not to tight not to loose. You get way more than what u pay for!

The award was presented Aug. 22 at the annual Georgia Downtown Conference in LaGrange, which brought together more than 200 Georgia downtown professionals to develop strategies for bettering their downtown business districts. The Georgia Downtown Association and the Office of Downtown Development of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, presented the awards.
The Award of Excellence is presented to the one city each year that has shown the greatest improvement in overall downtown redevelopment statistics. The Georgia Downtown Awards were established to recognize individuals, downtown programs and businesses that have demonstrated unique efforts in making a difference in their downtowns.
The award categories are based on the 4-Point Approach of downtown revitalization, as developed by the National Trust's Main Street Center, and focus on organization, promotion, design and economic development.
"This award is the highest honor that we can receive as a main street program," said Jessica Reynolds, Carrollton Main Street director. "I'm so proud of how much our downtown has evolved over the years and how much it is still growing. It's refreshing to see that our downtown matters as much to our city, our county and our citizens as much as it does to us."
The Carrollton Main Street Program has been part of the community for more than 27 years, Reynolds said, and it's invested in preserving downtown's history and heritage.
The program has been the recipient of five conference awards in the past four years. These have included awards for Most Creative Marketing Piece in 2009, Best Retail Booster in 2009 and 2010 and Best Design Improvement Program in 2011.
The program also set a new record by being one of the only cities to have been the recipient of the annual Award of Excellence in Downtown Development twice in a 10-year period. It was the recipient of the same award in 2003, soon after the completion of the city's Cultural Arts Center.
Reynolds said with the addition of the new amphitheater, new justice center and the newly renovated train depot, which is due to open this fall, "we're just now seeing the beginning of what Downtown Carrollton truly has to offer."
This year's opening of The Amp at Adamson Square, the city's new $1.1 million, 700-seat downtown amphitheater, was one of the major factors in winning the award, Reynolds said.
"The role it has played in downtown development has been significant," she said. "It's just really added a new dimension in what the downtown has to offer."
Shortly after the ribbon cutting ceremony for The Amp, the facility was the centerpoint of the 27th annual Mayfest festival on May 5.
"When I started here four years ago, Mayfest had 80 vendors and about 4,000 people attending," Reynolds said. "This year, we had 170 vendors and an estimated crowd of 10,000. We've come so far in a short period of time."
The Amp also hosted a series of free concerts this summer, highlighted by a performance of the country-gospel group, Diamond Rio, and a series of Thursday night family movies.
The city of Carrollton also contributed to downtown's success by passing a new alcoholic beverage ordinance, which allows carrying of open drinks outside in the downtown area. The new law makes it possible for amphitheater patrons to purchase drinks from nearby businesses and drink them at amphitheater shows.
Reynolds also believes that keeping the county's court activities in the downtown area was another contribution to winning the award. She noted that many counties, when faced with building a new courthouse, go outside the downtown area.
"We're fortunate to be able to keep our courthouse in the downtown area," she said. "The foresight of our county leaders to keep it downtown was monumental."
Likewise, she said the decision by West Georgia Technical College to locate its administrative offices downtown was helpful. Another factor in the program's winning the award was its downtown sign project.
"We won an award last year for the signs and markers," Reynolds said. "We have 13 new historic downtown signs and eight new directional signs in downtown."
The program has encouraged downtown shopping by establishing an active membership plan and discount incentives to get people into the stores.
The Main Street program changes over the past year were more than physical, there were also additions in the virtual world.
Reynolds said rebuilding of the Main Street Carrollton website and the addition of iPhone and Android apps were very important factors in improving the program's presence.
"A lot of downtown programs struggle to keep up with technology and stay relevant with social media," she said. "We've been very fortunate to have a progressive board that sees the value in these new technologies."
Reynolds said, more than anything, the award was made possible by community involvement and people coming out to support their local businesses, many which have been started during a time of economic downturn.
"It takes a whole community to save a downtown," she said. "I don't think any person, entity or organization can do it by themselves. It takes an effort by everyone to be successful."

The lower falls are about 20 feet high. A short hike takes you upstream to the BIG waterfall. There is an easily bypassed observation deck and lots of fallen trees that create a natural bridge to the pool below the fall. You can get near enough to feel the mist from the falls if you wish. it's really an amazing sight. The upper falls are at least 100 feet high.

Mapex Black Panther Stainless Steel Snare
Two steel Black Panther drums offering tremendous value for money and a required investigation for anyone seeking a metal-shelled snare
For more than half a decade the Mapex offshoot Black Panther has been producing exotic and experimental snare drums. The latest pair to stalk the shelves share the same shell material - steel - but differ radically in construction.
Back in black
The first drum is the BPST4551A, which is a 14"x5½" 10-lug snare with a 1mm thick steel shell. The exterior of the shell has been rendered smoky black and polished to a deep shine. Being a Black Panther, virtually all of the shell hardware is also black - the lugs, the 2.3mm pressed hoops and the snare strainer and butt.
The tension rods are also of a darker hue than plain steel. The whole effect is pretty stunning. In use, the snare delivers an archetypal metal-shelled sound, opening with a crisp, warm crack that bites in all the right places. The relative thinness of the shell ensures sympathetic overtones and just the right amount of ring.
Rim shotting magnifies its qualities and stick response is excellent, with brushwork being particularly pleasing. It's delightfully playable and sweet-sounding.
Diamond geezer
The second snare, the BPST455SLB, is an altogether different proposition. This time, the shell is 3mm thick solid steel, which increases to 5mm at the top and bottom with additional bands of steel that Mapex terms Sound Control Rings. The shell begins life as a cast steel pipe, which is then cut down and routed.
This drum also has 10 lugs and is dressed with the same black hardware, the only exception being the hoops, which have been upgraded to die-cast examples. Rather than being polished, the shell is etched with a fine diamond-based pattern that gives the drum an almost industrial look. A tattoo-like stencilling in the same vein creeps halfway across the batter head.
With this amount of metal at hand, the drum gives the sort of taut, controlled rifle crack that would make dogs in the next town yelp. There is a hardness to the sound that suggests that the snare would rise to any volume of music without breaking sweat. Overtones are virtually non-existent.
The snare is a Special Edition model and the price includes a decent zip-up, semi-hard case. Production is limited to 300 drums worldwide, with about 60 in the UK.These two snares differ considerably but offer plenty to the type of player that they are aimed at.
MusicRadar Rating
High performance metal snare drums. Killer looks and sounds to match.
Very little, all things considered.
The thinner shelled BPST4551A is a classic-sounding, smoothly responsive metal snare drum. The BPST455SLB meanwhile, is a high octane, riff-cleaving monster that you wouldn't want your son or daughter getting within 20 paces of. Both offer tremendous value and required investigation for anyone seeking a metal-shelled snare.

Nanny 911: Parenting a Wild Child
My mouthy 5-year-old boy has been kicked out of two different day cares because he lies a lot and can't sit still. I need some advice on how I can "tame" my wild child!
Use a reward chart with little "master mouthy." When he has a good day at school or at home, he can earn something like a visit to the park or maybe a playdate with a friend. This way you are showing him that he is getting attention for good behavior.
I'm wondering what the discipline tactic at his day care was and why things went so far as him being kicked out. I would also encourage you and his new day-care provider to be on the same page when it comes to monitoring his behavior. It sounds like, as always, consistency is key. The other thing I would consider is if it seems that he is not capable of controlling his behavior, then talk to your pediatrician about having him tested for ADHD.
