When Lea Michele isn't busy playing Rachel Berry on Glee or canoodling with Cory Monteith, she's pretty good at taking pictures. When she took over Vanessa Hudgens' role as the Candie's girl, we were kinda taken aback at just how much she rocked out the old-school super-girly vibe of the shoot. But, as per youge, pictures alone aren't enough to satisfy us here at Teen — so when our friends at ClevverTV got a behind-the-scenes look at Lea's flirty and fab Candie's shoot, we were all over it.

This new Ineggra cloth developed by Ineggrity Technologies looks pretty good. Divers had a video on their site of it stopping a bullet. It is cheaper and lighter than kevlar (aramid) and also half the price of carbon. Apparently it absorbs shock and has some flex properties ideal for surfboards. There seem to be issues with sanding and so it is recommended to be used as an inner layer.
This looks like it would work well as the internal composite layer next to the EPS foam core in FST then followed by the PVC and final glass layer. Who knows it might even make the PVC layer unnecessary. Are there any plans or R&D taking place?

What would 200 elementary students, unencumbered by parental supervision, do with four hours together?
More than one might think.
At Lake Wylie Elementary School on Friday, they played with fire and ice, wiggled their ways through soil, shot marshmallow blasters and powered lights with bicycles, among other things. They also took lessons from area science and education pros as part of a parent-free Science Night Out.
"This event is only for the students," said science lab teacher Cynthia Dey. "We tell the students that even if their parents cry because they like doing science so much they still have to stay home. When you get home, you can teach them the new things you have learned."
Friday's Science Night Out was the second annual event at the school. Principal Tracey Hayes said there were 180 students last year, a number that jumped to 250 this year.
"This truly demonstrates that our students are seeing themselves as scientists," she said.
The school always looks for ways to integrate science, technology, engineering and math principles in its curriculum. A committee of teachers organized the event with local universities, businesses and other partners. Parents joined in to put the plan into action.
"Our intent for holding this event is to generate excitement in our students about science outside of the classroom setting," Hayes said. "Our students will have the opportunity to learn about science through hands-on, minds-on experiments and particularly how it relates to real life experiences."
In its two years, generating excitement hasn't been an issue. Three years ago there was a sparsely-attended parents night out fundraiser planned. Last year, the parent-teacher group "dared to change the focus," Dey said, and implemented the educational side.
"The student response has been amazing," she said. "The event has sold out both years."
About half the school's K-5 enrollment signed up for the $10 event. Some students even saved birthday money or did extra chores to earn their tickets. On hand were volunteers with Siemens, Belmont Abbey teaching students, Olympic High School students and teachers, two master gardeners and others. Covered were everything from Bernoulli's Principle to iPad Mania.
"The event extends the learning that happens during school hours," Dey said. "It also broadens the experiences."

A car went by with two shirtless "burnout" looking dudes. I have a term for them. Sounds a little like "blockers" except that it starts with an 'F' and the vowel is a 'u.'
BTW - what is a Flucker?
Two incidents come to mind where I had to deal with fluckers.... The first, I was out for an evening run on my college campus, ran past an SUV full of students stopped at a red light and as they pulled out, a female student threw a cup of ice in my face. I tried to get their tag, but they were already far down the street when I shook off the shock of the experience. Mean girls! Second incident, another evening run on campus and came to a narrow part of the sidewalk as three female students were walking shoulder to shoulder, line abreast on the sidewalk. As I got closer, none of them made a move to step aside. I came so close to breaking a personal rule and throwing a shoulder into the closest one, but instead I chose to dance over tree roots and broken curb instead of running them over. Mean girls! Okay, I feel better now...

I remember Mike Ferguson captaining the team...Marsh had been sold...Frank Saul had been sold...Terry Venables was out for the rest of the season with a groin injury... and we went undefeated the last 12 games of the season (just missing out) - with a teenage midfield duo of Francis and Busby and Wingers Mike Ferguson and Barry Salvage.

I remember mike ferguson well, flying down the left wing, outsmarting the defender and putting in a curling rasping shot that always seemed to be just the wrong side of the angle, he used to do it loads of times.
He ended up not scoring many goals, but for those couple of inches the wrong side of the post he would have scored a lot more, he just seemed to hit the ball around the same spot every time, uncanny.
And always with the goalkeeper well beaten.

Reposting what I put on my blog a year ago
QPR's Les Allen signed him in 1969 from Aston Villa for something like 15,000 pounds to replace Rodney Marsh who was suspended for a month (the days of draconian suspensions for 3 bookings). Skillful foward/winger...Ferguson was with QPR for 4 seasons, even captaining the club for a while in the 1971/72 season, when Terry Venables was injured. Famous for being the last Accrington Stanley player playing in the League. (Ironically Accrington Stanley look like they will be returning to the League.) After QPR won promotion, joined Cambridge for a small fee.
Accrington Observer - 4th December 2002
Fergie remembers
LAST scorer: Mike Ferguson in action at Peel Park during the fateful 1961-62 season.
MIKE Ferguson scored Accrington Stanleys last-ever Football League goal and has spent more than half a lifetime listening to other people claim the distinction.
And Fergie, now 58, holds another record of sorts.
He was the first player to be transferred from the Football League to another club, joining neighbours Blackburn Rovers for around £2,500, a fraction of the fee he would have earned stricken Stanley had he gone before their demise.
Ironically, such a windfall might have gone some way towards saving the club. But cynics suggested that predatory rivals who had guessed at Stanleys fate were hovering like vultures to swoop down on whatever meat remained on the carcass.
Fergusons goal, his first and only Stanley goal, earned the Reds their final point at Doncaster four days before their final game. It was one of only four points the ailing side picked up in their final 17 games after the last win, a 1-0 success at home to Crewe in mid-October 1961.
Mike, who now lives in Worsthorne, said: "I didnt even realise it was the last goal until someone contacted me and told me a few years ago. I have met all kinds of people who said they scored it, people I know didnt even play for the club!
"Football was so different then. I used to go to the ground from Burnley on the bus, with spectators getting on all the way down Burnley Road. If it was good enough for Tom Finney it was good enough for me. Diets? Unheard of in those days. I remember once pulling up at a transport café at 4am on the way to Gillingham and Harry Hubbick, the trainer, said: "Nobody have peas with your pies!"
Mike had a fine career as a winger-cum-midfield schemer with Blackburn, Aston Villa and QPR, living the London high-life with the likes of Rodney Marsh and Terry Venables at one stage. He also managed with great success abroad and as recently as 1996 was scouting foreign teams for his old pal Venables, then England manager.
Accrington Stanley
Spotlight on: The Career of Mike Ferguson
17/2/2002 - Rochdale Rivals
A keen desire to make the grade as a professional footballer saw the Burnley born inside forward travel in excess of 200 miles south after accepting an offer to join Plymouth Argyle. The first team proved just beyond him during his time at Home Park throughout which he remained an amateur. So the offer of professional terms combined with a move closer to home with Accrington Stanley was gleefully accepted.
Despite their lowly status Ferguson spent almost two seasons with Stanley. Blackburn Rovers scouts regularly attended games across Lancashire and on one of these visits saw Ferguson and marked him down as a transfer target. Financial problems primarily led to the demise of the club. Their subsequent loss of Football League status only hastened his arrival at Ewood Park in return for a £1500 fee. Although bought as a striker he was converted to a right sided midfielder usually operating on the wing. It was a move which benefited both parties as Blackburn had created an extra option going forward with a player who knew the strikers art and could anticipate the needs of the forwards as well as weighing in with his fair share of goals.
For his part Ferguson revelled in his creative role due to the responsibility and extra satisfaction he gained from the switch. However, that was tempered by a powerful will to win which unfortunately exposed a short fuse when the battle for points got heated enough. Although he missed just a handful of games during his six seasons with Rovers a fair share of these absences came through suspensions.
Although a crowd favourite like many other players he had a price which could buy his services and by offering £50,000 at the close of the 1967-68 season Aston Villa found it. Like Blackburn Villa were a major force during the fledging years of the Football League but neither enjoyed a comfortable level of standing. Rovers were relegated from the top flight in 1966 and weren't looking good bets for a quick return. The Midlanders were in the same division but usually finished well up the table while never pushing for promotion. They were eventually relegated to the Third Division but believed that the skills displayed by Ferguson could help them break back into the big time. However, by this time they suffered the drop Fergsuon had left the club. He spent just over a year with The Villains playing a more peripheral role than he had been used to with previous clubs before
joining Queens Park Rangers in a cut price deal.
In complete contrast the London club got a keen deal and managed to give their signing a new lease of life. Their direct style being more suited to his style of play. Cambridge United provided a stop off before he arrived at Rochdale in time for the 1974-75 campaign.
In two seasons at Spotland he became an established first choice in the centre of the park only breaking away to set up a pioneering transfer to Icelandic side IAK Arkanes. The move as player/coach only lasted a short time but a result of this move he became one of the first English players to sample life in Europe's northern most outposts. It was this experience and exposure to different techniques which set him in good stead when he took on other coaching posts. However, before concentrating on that side of the game he played a couple of matches for Halifax Town in the spring of 1977.
His backroom career literally had him journey from continent to continent although it started at lowly Enfield. Rochdale were the only Football League club he served as manager. He took the reigns at Spotland a few weeks into the 1977-78 season after a bad start to the campaign saw Brian Green's tenure ended. Form barely picked up throughout the campaign as Dale finished bottom of the league seven points shy of the second from bottom Southport and seventeen points clear of not having to battle out yet another re-election vote. In the event the Merseyside club rather than Dale were shown the door by their fellow league clubs. Just eight games were won all season and just one before Ferguson's arrival. No victories came on the club's travels except in the League Cup when a narrow win was recorded over Halifax Town. In the league two points were picked up away from Spotland from draws with York City and Doncaster Rovers.
He was given another chance to turn things around and retained his job. There was clearly a lot of pressure to produce but things got little better the following season with just one win and six draws picked up by the end of November. However, earlier in the month the manager had left Dale allowing him to embark on another oddessy around the world coaching teams as far a field as Cyprus and The Far East. Upon leaving the game during the 1980s despite all the places and climates he had experienced he chose to return to Burnley where he still lives. Rivals

Accrington Stanley History
FERGUSON, Michael Kevin
Forward 5 ft 10 in, 11 st 2 lb
Born: Burnley 9 Mar 1943
Debut v Gillingham (h) 12 Sep 1960
Appearances: 50 Goals: 2
Career: Burnley schools; Plymouth Arg. amateur 16 Mar 1959; STANLEY 4 July 1960; Blackburn R. 15 Mar 1962 (fee £1,500); Aston Villa May 1968 (fee £50,000); QPR Nov 1969 (fee £15,000]; Cambridge U. July 1973; Rochdale July 1974 (free transfer); IA Akranes (Iceland) 1975-76; Halifax T. Dec 1976, retired 1977; Rochdale manager Sep 1977 to Nov 1978; coached around the world in 80´s especially Middle East; coached in Sweden; Apoel Nicosia manager; Enfield manager 1989; Tottenham H. scout 1989; Evagoras Paphos (Cyprus) manager Sep 1991; also England scout 1994-96.
Ferguson had had experience with Plymouth Arg. as an amateur but wanted home to Lancashire and wrote to Stanley, who promptly signed him without seing him play. He had represented the FA Youth team, played in the FA Youth Cup for Argyle and played for Devon Youth. When he made his League debut with Stanley he was 17 years 187 days, which made him the third youngest first-team player in club history. Obviously the most talented player in a poor side, he disappointingly managed just two goals. The impotent Stanley attack could have done with better shooting from the youngster. He turned down a move to Workington who had offered £3,000 in January 1962, moving to Blackburn R. when Stanley left the League. There he played his best football, becoming something of a cult figure. Being converted to right-winger he scored a goal at Villa Park that is still being talked about as goal of the Century, dribbling his way through from the half-way line. In 1968 he was sold to Aston Villa, where he played only 38 games. His careeer totals are 485 games, 44 goals, for seven different clubs. He led Akranes to the Icelandic championship but had little success as manager of Rochdale, being sacked after a particularly embarrassing FA Cup defeat at Droylsden. Prior to the 1996 European Championships he helped old team-mate Terry Venables with scouting for the England team. Mike Ferguson now lives in Worsthorne, Burnley. Accrington

I think Mike is writing is autobiography at the moment. I was in contact with him about a year ago (he wanted to contact Harry for a foreward), mentioned that I was a QPR fan and that my Dad remembered him very fondly. Being born in 1970, I don't remember his playing career at all. Myself and a few on IndyR's managed to provide him with some contact details for Michael Wale for which he was extremely grateful.
Glad to see that he is still well and contact like this just shows there is an opportunity for an ex Players association here.

Thanks for that. As I recall, we originally signed Ferguson when Rodney Marsh was being suspended for a month...Not in the Roger Morgan/Dave Thomas mould, but classy.
Michael Wale...I remember his column which went on for years and years: Where is he now?
re the Old players: I'd just note that there haven't been any photos on the Official Site (or as far as I'm aware on any site) of the 1967ers returning on Saturday for Mike Keen "Commemoration"

More From Mike Ferguson
"Thanks for your email, I did read some of the return Comments,the Barnet one is funny,I dont have a barnet now.
Regarding Terry [Venables] he was the biggest influence on the team, MORE THAN THE MANAGER
myself Terry and Rod used to plan free kicks,corners etc, he was a brilliant leader,even then is knowledge of the game was fantastic
One reply mentioned
Gerry [Francis] and Martyn [Busby], not many people know, but one of the Managers was going to release one of them at the end of one season, I will not say which one,Terry had strong words with the Manager and they were both kept.
Les Allen signed myself and Phil Parkes within a few weeks of each other, when I signed, we had former England players,Ron Springett, Barry Bridges, Terry, Frank Sibley had played for the under 23s,when there was so many great players around ,then of course Dave Clement went on to play with England along with Phil,Ian Gillard, and of course Gerry became England captain,and Rodney, we also had Don Givens for the Republic,we had good players,
the problem was we liked to entertain,we had to with Rod in the side.
I will answer any question should anyone ask.
Best Regards
Mike Ferguson
Another time I will let you know about Jim Gregory.

I just read the Dave Thomas interview - Brilliant from Ticer. Hw was my 2nd favourite player (behind Phil Parkes) and I wonder what he thinks of the bunch at the club now on and off the pitch, I quote.....
QPRnet.com: Did you ever fancy staying in the game?
DT: I had a couple of years coaching the reserves with Portsmouth then Alan Ball came in and he did the dirty on me really. Me and Bally were totally opposites, if he had the choice he wouldnt have appointed me but I was already there when he took over. He was asked if hed be OK with me moving to Youth Team coach and he agreed.
We missed out on promotion in the first year and the Chairman called me in to say that because of financial reasons they couldnt afford separate youth and reserve coaches so Graham Paddon, whod been doing the reserves would do both jobs and theyd have to let me go. I thought that was fair enough then two weeks later Bally brought Peter Osgood in as Youth Team coach. That hurt me and I decided then that if thats what football was like I wanted nothing more to do with it. Im an honest bloke and I cant stand all the skull duggary involved with football.
Yes, Dave, a man of scruples, sadly lacking from the club today.
Questions for Mike Fergusson? yep, Mike, What's your view on the type of no nonsense tackling of your era and where players took it, got up and carried on, compared to today's mamby pamby roll around like I've been shot players? Who was the hardest tackler you encountered, What did you think of the late Dave Clement and Mick Leach?

As a QPR mad spotty teenager I remember around about close season 1973 sitting in a cafe in Neasden one Saturday morning, and in walks none other than who I am convinced to this day was Mike Ferguson. Mike was actually delivering coal, I imagine those days they weren't the best paid! Would be nice if Mike could confirm this after nearly 40 years.

And the answer from Mike Ferguson...
"...It is quite true,wages were not good and in the summer I used to help a real die hard Rangers supporter Dennis Sergeant,him and is Brother Barry never missed a game home and away,they were great friends to me and my family,and it was a way of making extra money,another funny,we were delivering to a house in Harrow,I was black as the ace of spades,this man said to me 'your Ferguson arent you'I answered yes,he said no your not,brilliant."
And then Mike Ferguson added:
"Imagine that story coming out after 40yrs,nobody at the Rangers ever new,even in them days I started with Dennis at 5-30am.

Thanks for the welcome, think I may have peaked a bit early with that post by the sound of things. How nice is that of Mike to clear that up for me after so long! Talking of TV organising the free kicks, do you remember Gerry standing in the opposition wall, TV would lob the ball just over the wall and Gerry would spin off and I remember him scoring at least twice with that free kick!

After Rodney, Mick Ferguson was probably my favourite player of that era. A wonderfully gifted player and the perfect support act for our Rodney. I can remember well the Rodney hat trick in the (4-0) demolition of Birmingham. Mick crossed the ball for Rodney to head in one of the goals, a rare event because as everyone knows Rod never headed the ball as it hurt his head. I watched the interview with Mick on Match of the Day that night and the commentator also referred to the rare event of A Marsh header. Mick replied that Rodney only headed the ball when he crossed it, because he made sure the valve was always on the other side when Rod headed it. Don't know how try that was. Buit he indicated Mick's wonderful sense of humour.
There's a great mystery I've never ben able to solve. I can vividly remeber and evening friendly at Loftus Road against West Ham wherw we tore the Hammers to shreds but finished up with a 0-0 draw. We had numerous hits on the West Ham woodwork and at least 3 decent goals disallowed for one dubious reason or another. But the main feature of the evening was the antics of Rod and Mick . Both of them semed to spend the whole game getting the ball seeing how many defenders they could beat before nutmegging the great but bandy-legged Bobby Moore. Marsh would do it, then let Fergie have the ball. Fergie would do it then give the ball back to Rodney and thus it continued for large chunks of the game. The only way you could figure what was going on was to assume that the two jokers had had a bet about who could nutmeg Moore the most times. Was that true Mick and can you remember that game. I've looked in all the QPR records and I can't find a reference to that game. Idon't think I dreamt it, but if I did it was a wonderful dream. Thanks Mick for some wonderful memories of a wonderful player and a wonderful team. I really wish Mick had stayed at QPR longer than he did. He made us laugh and not many players these days can do that.

Great post qpranger10, I look forward to the answer. I can remember a 0-0 against wetspam but don't remember it as a friendly remember hitting the woodwork loads but I rhink it was a few years later but then my memory is shot.!
Welcome by the way.

Pruning the forum database.
turn off WPS[1] if your router supports it and its enabled.It can be used to easily give your WPA keys to your attacker.Who are you trying to protect against? Is this for your personal home use or are you trying to set it up for some sort of a protected but semi public wireless network like in a small business environment.[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup
use WPA2 with a long and unique wireless network name and a long unique password.Set up your router and dhcp to accept only a list of known MAC addresses.Use a "strange" network address with very small pool of addresses.The above three steps will make your network pretty much beyond reach even with the best of hackers with more than ordinary computing powers.Going VPN route is doable and certainly increases security but i think its something to do just to see if you can do it and learn a thing or two about VPN and networking and its something that belongs in the "advanced user" section.Does your router support VPN functionality? what router do you have,what capabilities does it have?

We know Velodyne for their subwoofers, and lately, headphones. This isn't all they do, though.
They also love robots.
Self-guided, thinking, driving, car-sized robots.
Never underestimate the power of a good demo. There's some sort of magic mix of twisting expectations and cleverly revealed reality that sticks with the audience for years. Bose gets this, with their "but it's just these small speakers!" reveal. Pioneer nailed it with the "this TV is also on" KURO demo.
DTS might have done it with their Headphone X demo at CES.
I really hate Aerosmith. No band causes me to change the radio faster than when I hear the first few notes of any Aerosmith song.
Unfortunately, of the many genres of music I enjoy, "classic rock" is one of the few you can find on the radio dial. And no matter where you go, it's universal: classic rock radio is horrible.
The town of Baker sits like a wart on the side of the I-15, somewhere in the desolation between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. A bizarre bastion of fast-food consumerism and price-gouged gasoline, it exists only as a way station for those optimistically heading to the City of Sin, or disillusioned, returning to the City of Angles.
Most years, it's my one and only stop, a quick tank top-off before the final push. This year, it's my third. One of the stops was a nap. I am not well.
The nerdworld exploded yesterday when news leaked that Disney had selected J.J. Abrams to direct the next Star Wars movie. J.J. Abrams is best known for the under-watched Alias, the over-watched Lost, and of course for resurrecting and rebooting the other great sci-fi franchise: Star Trek.
As one would expect from the most rabid fanbase in the world, hatred spewed forth.
But not from me. I say let him at it.
Today was supposed to be "Objectify a Male Tech Writer Day." A clever and amusing way to point out how differently our culture treats female tech writers compared to their male peers.
Earlier this week, though, the creator of the idea called it off, fearing a misunderstanding of the intent.
Her idea, though, is worth discussing, for many, many reasons.
M-Go is a streaming video service aimed at TVs and tablets, as a competitor to iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and VUDU.
My question, as it has been with other services, is what kind of selection this service has. Is it a worthwhile alternative? Does it have the depth of content Amazon and iTunes have? Will non-Apple and Amazon tablets finally have a worthwhile place to buy/rent movies and TV shows?
There's only one way to find out: with a fancy chart.
Winter is my favorite season, when all the past year's new flat-panel TVs have been reviewed and I can switch my attention to projectors. This season was particularly bountiful, as I was able to score three of the best projectors on the market for review. Sony's VPL-HW50ES, plus an Epson and a JVC, all arrived on my doorstep within a few days of one another. Not too shabby, that. Time for a roundup.
I think you can file most video enthusiasts into two broad categories: Purists and Bestists.The Purists want accurate color, bit-for-bit accuracy from Blu-ray, original aspect ratios, and so on. Bestists want the image to fill their screen, and to see a picture with hyper-detail (and maybe hypercolor). Which brings us to Darbee's Darblet video enhancer. While a Purist might dismiss the Darblet as something a Bestist would want, I couldn't say for sure that both camps won't be curious. It is … interesting.
I played the first Dead Space because I had to. It was one of my first game reviews for S+V. It was inconsistent, regularly annoying, but fairly enjoyable. The sequel was a better game overall, but lacking some of the first game's raw scariness.
The universe, story, and concept were sound enough that I was actually looking forward to DS3.
Here's what I found.

That is not true. Just take a look at the statistic of unemployment among foreign born population. There are more than 60% (even 70% depends on calculation) of immigrants do find job! There are also immigrants who are working in some sort of form, but recognized as unemployed, because there are some special setups in Finnish welfare system that are NOT really promoting employment.
there is only little percentage of immigrants are refugees. There are only small percentage of immigrants are here by human traffick. I mention them because there has been a while almost all immigrants are treated as refugees, if not, then illegal immigrants, human snack and all sorts. Finns has enough imaginary ability to put dirt on any faces that is not the same as dudemäki or dudenen. I even heard from a woman who shortly worked in some Finnish ambassy abroad boasting among her later university classmates that how skillful she can push every foreign applicants to corner by her arbitrary language skill.
Admit it, there are rather some system problems than just blame individuals. Many of immigrants come from countries where have much lower unemployment rate than Finland. Most immigrants had a long career before they came to Finland. Bigger percentage of immigrants had already sufficient education background for employment.

Digital Download - Unique link
It's not really a CSS question - Sorry!
I am creating a website for someone and they want visitors to the website to be able to purchase music.
After paying via PayPal they need to be automatically sent a link to download the song which stops working after a while.
Any ideas?
I have been searching google for hours and I don't know if I am using the wrong search term or something, but I can't find what I'm looking for :(
I'd really appreciate any help!What's the question? What's the envrionment you are using?Plain HTML/CSS pages.
On one page there are PayPal "Buy Now!" buttons, so you click the button for the song you want, and it takes you to PayPal so you can pay.
Then when you have paid, I want PayPal or the website to send an email to you saying "Thanks for purchasing this song, hope you like it ......... here is your unique download link"
You then click that link to download the song, and after a certain amount of time or a certain number of downloads the link stops working.
I hope that makes sense :SYeah, that makes sense, but with plain html/css you can't solve that problem.
You should consider using some open-source stuff for this/write your own solution/hire a freelancer to write it for you."warnew" said:Yeah, that makes sense, but with plain html/css you can't solve that problem.
they'd already said that this isn't really a CSS related question, they just want to know how to do it.Check out the E-Junkie Site, that might help http://www.e-junkie.com/E-Junkie looks almost perfect.
But does anyone know of an alternative to E-Junkie that is downloadable so it can be installed on my own server rather than being hosted remotely. I would also like one that is either Open Source, or a single payment, not a monthly charge. Does such a thing exist?
I was thinking that what I want is similar to what is used on countless thousands of E-Book selling website, any ideas what they use?
Thanks for all your help so far guys!I believe drupal has some modules that provide this kind of functionality, so that might be worth a look.FoxyCart can do it too. I'll be doing a video on this soon.\
They are also a monthly-fee service though. I don't know of any open source solution off hand. (but there probably is one)FoxyCart also looks good but I really need it to be an OpenSource or one off payment solution.
There is no way I can see my client paying every month, having said that $15 is about €12, not a lot really.
I'm trying Drupal as I type, but if anyone knows of a better solution please let me know!I have just come across this:
It's a wordpress addon, and it supports digital downloading, and it's free!
@Chris: Might be worth including this in your video! I am seting it up now and it seems very straightforward!I also purchased their GoldCart addon along with the MP3 player addon.
There is a slight problem in the code meaning that the MP3 files are referenced as Text in the database so I need to edit that every time.
But other than that it works great! $40 well spent!
I would reccomend anyone needing something similar to give it a try. The free version should be suffiecient for most things. And if you know what you are doing, I'm sure you could make it look however you like!The best solution I have seen for this is, https://www.payloadz.com/account/acct_levels.asp
it works directly with Paypal, 2checkout, and Google checkout, and really affordable prices for the amount of data you can transfer.
It doesn't meet the requirements of a local solution, or no-monthly fee, but appears to be a nice alternative to e-junkie.
Edit: Sorry, I didn;t notice the second page on this... but I'll leave the link as a future reference.Thanks anyway. It's good to know of a few possible solutions incase you need one in a future project :)Paypal IPN - Look that up.Yeah that's what I'm using through this shopping cart.
Clever stuff isn't it!There are quite a few PHP/ mySQL applications out there that can be installed onto your web server.
One that I use is PHP-eSeller to sell digital downloads at http://www.withinweb.com/phpeseller/

Can Counter-Strike: Global Offensive refresh PC first-person shooters?
June 26th, 2012
Author: Steve 'Skuax' George
The PC First Person Shooter genre appears to have become stagnant and in need of a refresh can Counter-Strike: Global Offensive deliver the eSports goods?
The beginning of eSports as we now know it seemed to revolve around the First Person Shooter genre on PC. Titles such as Quake and Counter-Strike have been popular competitive games for a very long time and still have large and active communities. However, in the last couple of years the spotlight at major eSports events has somewhat shifted away from FPS games and has moved towards RTS and MOBA titles like Starcraft 2 and League of Legends.
PC First Person Shooters still attract hundreds of thousands of players and there are a multitude of tournaments out there that have them as premier games. However, the genre still seems overdue for a new top title that could ascend to the competitive levels of Counter-Strike and Quake in their prime. Now that CS 1.6 is beginning to show its age, people are looking towards Valve's latest entry in the acclaimed series; Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) as a potential top competitive title. The game, which is now in closed beta, is scheduled to be released on August 21st 2012.
Visually, Global Offensive is looking polished yet true to the series.
From the beginning of CS: GO's development, Valve was eager to get top players from CS 1.6 and CS: Source to try the game, give feedback and shape what CS: GO would become. Beta keys were also handed out to some of the most dedicated Counter-Strike players through Steam and their feedback was heavily encouraged. Valve's willingness to change and alter many aspects of the game in correspondence with community feedback has led many people to see a lot of potential in the title.
So, what exactly does the game have going for it? Well, there are many things that could aid CS: GO in becoming a top-tier competitive title. Firstly, the Counter-Strike format of round based, elimination style combat has been a tried and tested success in the past and translates well as a visual experience for crowds. As a game, it could also fit nicely into the line-up of PC games that major tournaments have on their pro series at the moment, potentially replacing CS 1.6 at the tournaments where CS 1.6 is still run.
The success of the first two entries in the series should go to show that Valve have significant experience in making competitive FPS games and they have over a decade of player feedback which they have put to use during the development of CS: GO. The first two games were extremely well received. So, if we pair that with the experience and resources that Valve has gained as a company over that period of time, we should be expecting another great, balanced competitive FPS experience.
The hit boxes in CS: GO are a balance between those of CS 1.6 and CS: Source.
The time is right for this new Counter-Strike entry. Over the past few years, the FPS market has been dominated by the Call of Duty and Battlefield series, which have been very successful in their own right, but lacked the competitive impact previous Counter-Strike titles were able to make. Players of modern FPS games in the market will likely be intrigued by the streamlined, simplistic nature of CS: GO which has made the series so distinctive. This paired with the very reasonable $15 price tag that Valve recently confirmed and existing fan base that surrounds the franchise should give the game a sizeable community at launch.
Since the launch of Counter-Strike: Source, Valve as a company has become a lot more receptive to the eSports community that surrounds some of their titles and they have been willing to invest heavily in making sure DotA 2 launches as a successful eSport. If Valve were willing to undertake a similar investment into CS: GO it may provide the kind of push that the game needs to get into the public eye as a premier competitive title.
Newcomers and veterans alike should be excited for what CS:GO could become.
Whether or not the game will launch in a tournament ready state is currently a question mark, but the beta quality has proven to be quite high. Valve did a good job of improving factors that players complained about and this has resulted in a game that already feels quite balanced and very enjoyable. There will likely be need for further tweaks after the launch, but within a few months I would not be shocked if we started to see some sizeable tournaments pop up for the game. Hopefully, this will lead to the world's major eSports organizations adopting the game as a premier competitive PC title.
Hoping, I can find a nice blend of casual/competitive in CS: GO.
Also, I lol'd when you said "CS 1.6 is beginning to show it's age". For a 14 year old game, yeah, you could say it's looking a bit old...

RDemon15 said: Sad thing is that I doubt CS:GO can actually replace the spot 1.6 positioned as a PC juggernaut. Sure it will attract more players but some veterans may not be willing to change and with MW's influx of achievements and kill streaks, it would be difficult to compete with the variety modern shooters offer.
Maybe... but considering it was practically designed by the veterans (or at least extensive beta-tested and constant feedback being received by Valve) I think that it will do incredibly well!

iGames|Lieu said: Being an old-school 1.6 guy, I'm looking forward to CS: GO. Source never did it for me and I didn't stick with 1.6 after the community got split in half with Source.
Hoping, I can find a nice blend of casual/competitive in CS: GO.
I started early off in 1.5, moved over to 1.6 and then to Source, but to be completely honest, GO just seems to be an example of CS going even farther downhill. It's just too much of a change for many, including me.
Anything worth having is worth working hard for.
I tried out the office building hostage rescue map and enjoyed it. I look forward to trying more later.
League can run on anything and gained ridiculous amounts of popularity that helped push the E scene and SC2 had SC

Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Thank you to the RA community.
One year ago today, on April 1, 2010, I ran my first full run (no walking, ran 3 miles) since getting injured in Oct 2009. I'm not certain that I would have returned to steady running without the support and encouragement I've gotten from the RunningAHEAD community in so many forms over the past 17 months.
Please, no replies to this posting -- just accept my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your messages, for freely sharing your experiences, and for the leadership and example so many of you show quietly (and not so quietly) in your running logs. You've moved me to keep moving through it all.
Thank you.

My personal favorite was watching someone try to throw a rock, with money wrapped around it, and rolled up in cellophane, over two fences (it got caught on the razor wire).

SOURCE Status of Women Canada
Working Together: Engaging Men to End Violence against Women
OTTAWA, March 8, 2013 /CNW/ - The following is a statement by the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women, on the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8, and International Women's Week, March 3 to 9.
"Acts of violence against women and girls are crimes, serious abuses of power and severe violations of dignity and human rights. We all have a part to play to stop the violence. I challenge all men to join women around the world to end violence against women and girls.
The Harper Government recognizes that all Canadians - women and girls, men and boys - must be part of the solution to violence against women and girls. For this year's International Women's Week, I have chosen the theme Working Together: Engaging Men to End Violence against Women because it challenges us all to work together on an issue that has wide-ranging economic and social impacts on all Canadians.
I am proud to be part of a government supporting groundbreaking action involving men and boys to end violence against women and girls. For example, we are working in partnership with organizations such as the Ending Violence Association of British Columbian (EVA BC) and the BC Lions football team. They have teamed up to create "Be More Than a Bystander," a project focused on breaking the silence on violence against women by engaging men and boys in being part of the solution.
The Government of Canada also endorsed the COMMIT initiative put forward by UN Women asking governments everywhere to be part of global efforts to end violence against women and girls. Canada continues to implement a wide range of initiatives to reduce and prevent violence against women and girls, and urges other nations to do the same.
Working together, we can create a society in which all Canadians can thrive and prosper, free from abuse and the fear of violence."

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Being Human (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
The Transit of Venus
Today we have a chance to witness a special moment in history as Venus transits across the disk of the Sun for people across the world to see. Not only is this process of discovery exciting for natural science, but it has profound theological ramifications as well.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Adam's Dream
While the specific "how" of our being made into the image of God will probably always remain a mystery, the Bible and creeds are clear on the "why" of our creation: we were made to worship the Lord, and be in relation with Him and each other.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.

Socio-economic and ethnic differences in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among school children
Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 05/04/2012
Achat HM et al. – Large jumps in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children observed from the 1980s appear to be diminishing, with comparable prevalence reports in 2004 and 2007. Ethnicity and socio–economic status (SES) are each independently associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight in children.
Methods- A cross-sectional population-based survey of 2341 children in Years 4 and 7 (mean ages 9 and 12 years, respectively) in 2007.
- Nineteen per cent of children were overweight and a further 6% were obese.
- The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was similar for boys and girls (26% vs. 24%, P= 0.35).
- SES was significantly associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight: the odds of being overweight or obese were 1.79 times (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35 to 2.36) higher for children from the lowest quartile than for children from the highest quartile.
- Compared to children from an English speaking background, children from a non-English speaking background were significantly more likely to be overweight or obese (21% vs. 31%, P < 0.001).
- The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was significantly higher for children from a Pacific Island (odds ratio (OR) 2.66, 95% CI 1.63 to 4.33), Middle Eastern (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.17) or European (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.49) background than for English speaking background children.

Expand Your Social World
Today I'd like to share my horoscope with you and my thoughts on it afterwards and a little challenge to you that I intend on doing myself.
Aries Daily Horoscope
You might be open to new experiences and meeting new people today, which may make you seem more approachable. Your friendly demeanor could be the result of your desire to expand your circle of friends in order to infuse your social life with fresh energy. Perhaps you can consider finding different ways to meet people today. Joining a club, trying a sport, or taking a class are all ways to increase your social circle. If you notice any anxiety about meeting new people while engaged in one of these activities, take a deep breath and think about all the wonderful qualities you have. You might picture yourself from the other person's perspective and see how unique and interesting you are. Knowing what you have to offer people may make it easier for you to make contact with others.
Going out on a limb and trying new things is a wonderful way to widen our social network. Unless we take a chance at doing something different, we will never increase our social contacts. It then becomes more difficult to expand our worldview since we stay within the confines of our comfortable social world. Meeting new people means that we engage in discussions and activities that are fresh and exciting and help us grow and evolve. We not only gain alternate perspectives through our new acquaintances, but we also learn more about who we truly are. By opening yourself to new experiences today, your social world will expand and you will uncover parts of yourself that you didn't know existed.
Onward to the challenge that I am undertaking. On facebook I have a very limited set of people I allow on my "friends list" usually people that are a part of Sacred Mists School, a few wonderful customers of the store but otherwise friends and family. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with it all but do OK. I have decided to open myself up on facebook to include more people even when connections to people I am already friends with are not present. I am also interacting more with people when I visit my favorite places locally. While I do hope to be moving West soon I am actively becoming better friends with those around me right now and finding amazing joys in that companionship.
In today's world of activity and online networking, what can we do to always be true to ourselves while at the same time trying to make new friends?
ME? I don't hide who I am in any of my posts or interactions. Right now I am on a short "vacation" from facebook but will be back on Monday. I hope to see you all then!
Wishing you the most beautiful weekend and the opportunity to make amazing connections both online and off.
