In a time when American audiences give themselves to performers who act like "real people," the irony of Tom and Ray Magliozzi is that they are who they seem to be.
The listeners get it. Ratings for the brothers' radio show, the automotive-philosophical-political call-in colloquium, dubiously titled Car Talk, are among the highest of any NPR program — 1.9 million people a week, listening to 362 stations, which ranks the program after Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Fresh Air.
The Magliozzis' genuine mechanical expertise notwithstanding, listeners most often say that the appeal of Car Talk is Tom and Ray themselves. "I think what we're doing is sort of giving Tom and Ray a forum, a reason to be on the air," says Executive Producer Doug Berman. "The show is obviously about them, what they're thinking and their approach to life, which is really delightful."
For Tom and Ray, both Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates, advice about cars naturally leads to expositions on existential, anthropological, historical, agricultural, marital and other topics. One caller, Rose from Dallas, for example, wants to know what car to purchase after she loses her 1994 Lexus LS-400 in a divorce. She was thinking about a Hyundai.
"Do you think you can patch things up with your husband?" asks Tom. "Drive that Hyundai around for a couple of weeks — your husband will look a lot better," adds Ray.
Listeners often cite Tom and Ray's candor as a reason they tune in. Paul from Bartow, Pa., calls because the electric brakes on his cattle trailer are malfunctioning. After a few minutes of speculation about how electric brakes work, Ray gives in: "It's pretty clear that we don't know what the hell we're talking about," he admits.
"I want to say though, Paul, that it's been awfully nice talking to you," adds Tom.
"And you sound like a wonderful, caring individual — why can't these cows walk to their destination? I mean, what's wrong with them?"
"Paul, we don't have any idea," says Tom apologetically.
Yet Ray offers an intelligent diagnosis of the problem, adding "if that doesn't work, take the cows for a walk."
For many listeners, such advice, oddly enough, provides balance in an unbalanced world. "The guys don't take themselves so seriously," explains Jennifer Loeb, assistant producer and engineer for the show. When everyday events take on undue importance, she says, "you sit back and listen to the show and you remember that it's not that important. ... No one proves how unimportant things are better than Tom and Ray." She adds — "Why I enjoy it will probably take years of therapy to understand."
At WNYC, New York, where Car Talk ranks among the top three weekend shows, Program Director Scott Borden observes that it's "probably a very bad match to our audience," considering New Yorkers' low rate and even disdain for car ownership. "I moved to New York so I wouldn't have to drive," he says, "and I still listen to the show." Successful radio personalities "make you feel like they are talking to you and you alone," he says. "Even when [Tom and Ray] are talking to someone, you feel included in the converstion."
A world away, Program Manager William Fulton of Public Radio in Mississippi concurs in a drawl as pronounced as the Magliozzis' Boston accent: "It's a very personal show in a warm and friendly, conversational way — they're funny, but at the same time it's all built on solid expertise."
"Humor is very risky," says Sheila Rue, p.d. at WUNC, Chapel Hill, "but Tom and Ray pull it off because they are so sincere."
That's the view of the fans, but others are equally affronted by the program. Some complain that the brothers laugh at their own jokes, says Fulton. Others, if they don't listen long enough, may get the impression that the brothers are "a couple of jerks," says Lamar Barrus, program director at KRIC in Rexburg, Idaho. But Barrus figures that "a larger group loves the show than hates it."
Ken Rogers, associate producer for the show, says that people who listen long enough "become converts" and understand that Tom and Ray are "enjoying a sort of sophomoric humor with people, but never at their expense."
The Magliozzi attitude is their great appeal, Berman believes. "To me they're heros," he says, "I think people like to spend an hour a week with them because they are just inspiring people."
Inspiring and privy to an invaluable knowledge of the ways of automobiles: "Car repair is sort of like medicine," Berman adds. "It's something everyone has to deal with and nobody has any real knowledge of, and nobody knows who to trust or who to ask. And these guys are trustworthy—people feel a connection to them."
"We might as well have fun"
Car Talk evolved out of what was supposed to be a call-in show with a panel of mechanics. The WBUR volunteer/producer of that show called Tom and Ray to sit on the panel and Tom agreed, thinking that it would generate business for his and Ray's fledgling garage. As it turned out, Tom was the only one of six mechanics who showed up.
"It was a wild success," says Ray, "two or three people called in."
The producer, who soon left the show, asked Tom and Ray to do it every week. "And we figured 'What the hell!'," says Ray. That was 1977.
"The biggest influence was that they didn't pay us," he says. "And we figured ..." Tom finishes the thought: "We took a very cavalier, who-gives-a-shit attitude about it all."
"We figured if we weren't going to make any money we might as well have fun," continues Ray. "When we first started, we really didn't have any fun—we were way too serious about it."
"I actually thought that only BU [Boston University] got this station," says Tom.
"That's what I thought, too," says Ray. "I figured it was just a local thing, I figured it might carry a little bit beyond the campus but I assumed it was a little Mickey Mouse operation ... what the hell did I know? And I didn't know anything about National Public Radio. Who the hell ever heard of National Public Radio?"
"This was 1943, you remember" says Tom.
"This was 1977," says Ray. "If I had known that this was a 50,000-watt station I never would have set foot in the door. So we bumbled along, and people started calling in from far away ... and then it got really scary—for about a minute."
"Then we fell back on our who-gives-a- shit-attitude again," says Tom.
"But we didn't have fun right away because we assumed that people really wanted serious information about cars," says Ray.
"They did," says Tom. "Those were the days of do-it-yourself-ers ... when people were out there on the driveway and had some serious questions."
"And we answered every one of them wrong!" says Ray.
In 1986, WBUR General Manager Jane Christo asked her news director, a former staffer for All Things Considered and Morning Edition at NPR, to move to Car Talk as producer.
Berman shined the spotlight on the brothers and their humor. The calls got shorter and the answers less technical. "I was trying to show off what I thought was a very funny approach to everything and make it more of a program for people who live in a world with cars," he says.
Tom and Ray's system had been to randomly answer calls that came in on five blinking lines in the studio during the show.
Berman turned the callers into regular production elements of the show, prescreening and prepping them beforehand and keeping them ready like guests waiting behind a curtain.
The callers originally had phoned Car Talk during or after the Saturday broadcasts and gotten these instructions from an answering machine: "Hi. You've reached the Telecommunications Tower here at Car Talk Plaza. This is us, Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. But don't get nervous, you're not on the air yet. ... You have to leave some information for us and then our crack staff will call back as soon as some people here can get you on our next program ... "
Rogers screened and selected callers with guidance from Berman. "We try to find a good mix of questions," says Berman, "technical, philosophical, marital ... we want to put people on the air who we think listeners would care about on some intrinsic level. In a sense, you project the kind of audience you want to attract by the type of people you put on the show."
By the time of the Friday-night taping at WBUR, Rogers had auditioned 15 or so callers, though Tom and Ray, at their insistence, didn't know anything about them or their tribulations with cars.
During the taping, Rogers dials out to the callers: "Hi, this is Ken from Car Talk," he says. "The guys are talking to another caller right now, so just hang on, and they will get to you in about an hour. Have fun."
Rogers' auditions don't always result in successful segments, of course. "A good personality can often be a mask for mental imbalance or conditions that are probably treatable," says Rogers. One woman from St. Louis had told him she was "considering buying a GM, a mid-line-priced car that the guys probably didn't like," he recalls. "She had a very effusive, warm personality and liked to talk and was familiar with the show." But when she got on the air, she "proceeded to regale the guys with how she had won some local beauty contest for the nicest legs in St. Louis and did it in a bikini made entirely of fruit. Ten minutes into the call Tommy got up and walked out of the room."
Like probably 20 to 30 percent of the calls, that one was left out of the show.
Rogers maintains that Tom and Ray are too nice to be rude to anyone. "Probably once every three months," he says, "we get someone who just will not stop talking—people who are just really into the show and feel like they know the guys." In cases like that, crew members have been known to leave the brothers in the studio, turning out the lights outside as if they've given up and gone home.
When things are going right for the brothers, however, the Magliozzi banter generates a momentum that spills over the airwaves. Explains Christo, "You kind of know what they might say, and you know they might laugh, and you're waiting for them to laugh so that you can."
Though novice listeners may be unable to distinguish between Tom and Ray on-air, they actually are two different men. Ray, the shorter one with a moustache, is the voice of reason, Berman explains, while Tom, the bearded one, is inclined to pursue philosophical tangents and let out with his higher infectious cackle.
In addition to the call-in element of the show, other regular features include the Puzzler, a weekly riddle of sometimes mythic, mathematical and/or historic proportions, selected from listener letters. Berman usually scripts the part of the show when Tom and Ray reveal the answer to the previous week's Puzzler, as well as the intro to the show and some material to fall back on.
Tom and Ray get the "script" of the show just before taping. They occasionally throw it out altogether, but usually use it roughly as is, or as improvisational material. "It gives us something to work from between the calls," says Berman, "It's more like a crutch so that [Tom and Ray] don't have to think too much about what needs to get done—they can just leave their minds free to play around with what stuff we throw at them in terms of callers ... to just do whatever they find interesting and entertaining at the same time."
A lot of the show, he says, "just happens, and you're sort of figuring it out as you go along."
During the actual taping of the show, Tom and Ray sit in the "fishbowl" studio, while Loeb engineers, Berman directs, Rogers places the calls, and Bugsy, the technical advisor, sleeps, roused only by an occasional question from the fishbowl such as, "Do they still make the Toyota MR2?"
Berman sits on a counter in the studio and scrawls instructions like "PUZZ. ANS. NEXT!" and "ANSWER THE QUESTION!" which he waves at Tom and Ray, often to no avail. Sometimes he uses the microphone to feed cues to move the show along if Tom is raving too long on a point like "there is a little used car salesman in everyone."
Occasionally, Berman, or one of the other people in the studio will offer lines to Tom or Ray during the show. Joe from New York calls in about a leaky radiator. When Ray suggests that he add an egg to test for the leak, Rogers throws in: "pepper it."
"Pepper it," Berman says into the microphone.
Not consulted on diddlysquat
Though the call-back production process has been replicated by other producers, the chemistry between Tom and Ray has been impossible to reproduce elsewhere. The George Wendt Show (Current, July 4, 1994), which debuted on CBS last fall, was loosely based on Car Talk. Berman explains that the TV people asked Tom and Ray to act as creative consultants on the series, and promised them a cut of the profits from the show after it was a huge success and in syndication. "We thought, 'Great—we'll have all the 800-lines we could ever want'," says Berman.
"It sucked!" says Ray. "The show sucked, George Wendt sucked, and the sad thing is that maybe some people thought that that was us, but that wasn't us."
"We want to make it perfectly clear that we had nothing to do with that show," says Tom, "even though we were listed as creative consultants. They never consulted us on diddlysquat. They once asked us how we liked it, and we said it sucked and they never called us back again."
"We said it sucked and would you like for us to tell you how to fix it?" adds Ray, "and they said, 'No, we're professionals, and we're perfectly capable of ruining the show all by ourselves.' "
Not enough viewers disagreed with Ray's view of the Wendt show; it's now in limbo—missing from CBS's fall lineup.
Tom and Ray have been offered a number of TV shows, according to Berman, and have turned them all down. A number of producers have called Berman for advice, searching for the key to a successful radio show. Though form and content "are inextricably tied together," Berman says, "what it really takes to do another show like this is talent in the league of Tom and Ray."
Berman says that Car Talk is somewhat modeled on the old Groucho Marx show, You Bet Your Life. "Groucho took a form, a quiz show, and made it fun," Berman explains, "we took a form, the call-in show, and added humor—so I see that sort of lineage."
"Have fun and enjoy the contestants!" says Berman to Tom and Ray as the show begins.
In recent years, Tom and Ray have become more comfortable behind the mike. "We listened to our first national show a year ago," says Berman "and we were all shocked at how stiff and formal and cautious the guys sounded. They've loosened up and are taking more risks on the air."
The show has also constructed an elaborate Car Talk mythology, with a host of fictional staff members credited at the end of each week's show, and references to the figurative Car Talk Plaza and the metaphorical Puzzler Tower.
The real Car Talk offices are in a shabby white-brick building in Cambridge. Gold letters spelling out "Dewey, Cheetham and Howe" can be seen on the building's dingy third-floor windows, and the interior of the three-room suite has the look of a college dorm room. Basketball hoops are rigged over a garbage can. A bookcase is strewn with papers, car books and a couple of hubcaps with checkered flags sticking out. Hawaiian leis hang here and there. Evidence of a dog — toys, hair, a chewed up rag — covers the floor. Over one of the doors are photos of figure skater Sonja Henie and her tutu, a frequent reference on the show.
While Tom and Ray work at their real jobs — Tom teaches marketing and business management at Suffolk University, and Ray runs the Good News Garage in Cambridge — Berman and Loeb sculpt the mass of taped material into a show, taking out material that didn't work or would invite a libel suit. Michelle Papachristou, the intern, drinks cappucino as she shuffles through the mail. Rogers sits at a computer in the main room, talking to callers and the many outposts of Car Talk culture in the public radio system. "Stations call and ask what the chances are that Tom and Ray will come to their station, I describe numbers very close to zero, and we work on their proposal to Tom and Ray."
The chaotic appearance of the room and casual manner of Car Talk's regular employees are actually part of the reason the show works. Explains Loeb, "We all have that flaw in our character that we like this sort of stuff. Yet, it's really Tom and Ray—if we all went on vacation, the show would go on."
At around 4:30 on Friday afternoon, the script and the week's collection of listener letters are loaded in a black box ("the flight recorder," Rogers calls it) and transported from Dewey, Cheetham and Howe to WBUR, where the staff meets for a ritual prep-session. Walking into the studios, Berman and Rogers scan the parking lot for Ray, who likes to nap in his car before the show, explains Berman.
The prep session begins. Berman props his feet up on the long table just outside the studios and begins reading the sports page. Rogers scans the listeners' mail. Michelle goes out for junk food. Ray arrives with his brother's coveted, sleek, slate blue, 1955 Parker pen, orchestrating a scheme to frustrate all of Tom's attempts to retrieve the pen.
Later, Bugsy, the technical consultant, arrives. He is a substanial man, with dark hair and a beard, who is greeted by an endearing chorus of "Bugsy!!" He grunts back. Michelle arrives with the junk food, and spreads it over the table. Tom and Ray look through the mail. Ray recalls how a primitive, peaceful feeling came over him while dining with his family over the weekend. Tom says it's because the kids were eating and not driving him nuts. Basically, this could be the show.
But at a few minutes past seven, after someone asks, "so, are we going to do a show this week?" Everyone lumbers into the studio to roll the tape.
Tom and Ray are "still disbelieving that anyone wants to listen to them, which is sort of charming," says Berman.
"People listen to this show?" asks Tom, incredulously.
At present, there are no plans to retire Car Talk. "If they were comedians whose jokes were written for them, they might have a certain life," explains Christo. "If you analyze the jokes, the jokes themselves aren't even that funny—it's just them."

#1 Consumer Suggestion
ISO's, Capital Merchant Solutions & Authorize Net
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 12, 2014POSTED: Sunday, January 12, 2014
Capital Merchant Solutions is the Indepentent Sales Organization (ISO) that sold you your merchant account -- that is who you signed up with. Authorize Net is the gateway that CMS set up for you to enter your transactions. Really - that's the relationship (see next to the last paragraph about Ty).
The ISO can outsource part or all of the work involved in maintaining and servicing your account to another processor, or even another ISO (in your case, Transfirst). CMS cannot resell or transfer your signed agreement to any other organization -- they can only outsource the work.
The $500 cancellation fee? Your signed agreement with CMS has your terms of cancellation spelled out very clearly -- if you don't want to pay the early termination fee, you have to wait the designated amount of time required to eliminate the fee.
Ty (or Tye) Bonds is not a good communicator -- and perhaps is not literate enough to understand the business and what a signed agreement specifies? So, my experience with this person are with statements being given that are obviously false according to the contracted agreement I have with CMS.
I've had a CMS merchant account for 11 years - and CMS outsourced processing to US Merchant Systems - not Transfirst as in your case. I have been trying to cancel this merchant account with CMS since 2011, and have learned a lot about who's who in the zoo. My recommendation to myself: if you think you are in the right, get a lawyer.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Engle Allies Plead Ignorance About His Anti-Muslim Activism
The Detroit News asked a number of Lou Engle's partners in Detroit if they are aware of Engle's staunchly anti-Muslim views, which will be featured prominently at The Call: Detroit along with his militantly anti-gay and anti-choice beliefs. In response, Engle's associates plead ignorance about his anti-Muslim activities. One pastor said he didn't "know anything about that" and another claimed that the rally is "not to pray against anybody."
"I don't know anything about that," said Bishop Edgar Vann of Second Ebenezer Church in Detroit. "People are coming here to pray for our city, and that's what I'm concerned about. Christians will be praying, but it's open to anyone."
The Call is being promoted as a 24-hour-long prayer event aimed at lifting the city out of its "greatest darkness."
Its website says attendees at Ford Field will "gather to this city (that) has become a microcosm of our national crisis — economic collapse, racial tension, the rising tide of the Islamic movement, and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets and our unborn."
[Pastor Jerry Weinzierl] said the goal is simply to call Christians together to pray.
"It's not to pray against anybody," he said. "It is a very positive movement of Christians gathering together to pray."
In fact, Engle has repeatedly claimed that The Call: Detroit will be used to convert Muslims, in addition to ending legal abortion and bringing gay people out of homosexuality. "The largest population of Muslims is right next to Detroit, we dare to believe that millions of Muslims will come to Christ as the Church prays," Engle said while promoting the prayer rally. "We believe that God is bigger than the Devil."
Rachel Tabachnick writes in Dome that spiritual warfare against Muslims is a key part of The Call:
Preparations for TheCall Detroit have also included outreach to African American churches in the region, but the major focus of the event is what the organizers are describing as a spiritual battle against the "demonic spirits" of freemasonry and Islam. By bringing together black and white believers in repentance and reconciliation, the leaders claim that demonic forces that cause the region's problems will be expelled, allowing for mass conversion of Michigan's Muslim population. (Dearborn, next door to Detroit, is home to what is believed to be the nation's largest mosque, the Islamic Center of America.) One of the leaders speaking in Michigan this year prophesied that the region would become "Mecca with a cross."
In his announcement of The Call: Detroit, Engle said one of his goals would be "launching a house of prayer between Detroit and Dearborn" because "His target of intercession is for Muslims to know the love of Jesus and a breakthrough of revival in Detroit."
Engle has called Islam "demonic" and even had an entire interview with Rick Joyner for Transformation Michigan discussing how The Call will be "impacting Islam through prayer":
Update: Cheryl Chodun of Detroit's WXYZ News is contacting Engle and other organizers of The Call: Detroit to find out more information on their anti-Muslim activism. The reporter played our video of Joyner and Engle warning that the state's Muslim community may try "to make Michigan our first Muslim state.":

Backpack: check. Snack: check. Yep, they've got their sneakers on, but the shirt on backwards you will have to fix in the car. We all know how crazy mornings can get before school, but to make life a little easier, we put together some on-the-go breakfast ideas. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast wraps are a great option, just be sure to select a wrap that it is whole wheat and around 100 calories. My personal favorite on the go option is a wrap slathered with peanut butter, topped with apple slices, and sprinkled with cinnamon. When the weather starts getting colder, pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds – delicious! If apples aren't your favorite, try this recipe for a wrap with peanut butter,strawberries, bananas and granola. You can always switch out the peanut butter for almond butter, if desired.
Try oatmeal! This classic food is sure to get you through the day. Line cupcake trays and bake oatmeal for 30 minutes at 350 degrees using this recipe found at Money Saving Mom (one of our favorite bloggers!). Flax and cinnamon are two of the ingredients, both of which are great for your metabolism. Each family member can add their favorite oatmeal ingredient to ensure a breakfast everyone can smile about.
Even though the drive-thru line can be tempting, make your own egg sandwiches to skip out on the extra fat and sodium. Eggs are full of protein and nutrients, and whole wheat English muffins help fuel morning recess. Try this recipe from The Yummy Life on how to make your own egg sandwiches that are easy to make ahead of time, freeze, and pop in the microwave before you head to school or work.
Greek yogurt is another excellent option. It is protein-packed and an easy breakfast to grab on your way out. Just don't forget the spoon! Try this recipe from Eating Well for some homemade granola to put in your yogurt. It is simple to make and cuts down on the preservatives and sugar found in store-bought granola.
No matter what you do choose, just make sure you don't skip out on breakfast – a combination of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats is essential to get you through your day. As long as you're at it, you might as well make it tasty, too!

Clen and Emma Atchley grow crops while preserving the environmentSome people believe farmers stand in the way of protecting the environment, but there are growers out there working to preserve the land and the nutrients in it. A lot of people see farming as a detriment to the environment, and we disagree, said Clen Atchley, a grower in Ashton, Idaho. Farming Operations The Atchleys Flying A Ranch, owned and operated by Clen and Emma Atchley, is in eastern Idaho at the headwaters of the Snake River. They grow between 800 and 1,000 acres of seed potatoes on their 5,000 acres, and depending on the year, sell between 200,000 and 250,000 sacks of seed potatoes. Their biggest crop is wheat, but the Atchleys also grow canola, alfalfa and grain, and they have a small cattle operation. About 4,500 acres of their land is irrigated. The Atchleys grow mostly russet potatoes, with the bulk of their crop being Russet » Read more
Consumers, processors drive demand for organic spudsOrganic agriculture is about 2 percent of total U.S. agriculture, and sales of organic produce were about $5.8 billion in 2005. But the market segment is growing, and in 2007 sales from organic produce are predicted to be about $6.5 billion. Organic potatoes are a small part of the overall U.S. potato harvest, but growers are seeing increased demand that is following the growth in organic produce sales. That demand is from both the fresh market and processing side of the industry. Fresh Market Here in central Illinois, the demand for organic/locally grown potatoes follows the sharply increased demand for all such vegetables in recent years, said Dave Bishop of Prairierth Farm in Atlanta, Ill. The demand is for specialty/heirloom table stock, such as green mountain, all red, all blue, etc. varieties generally not found in most supermarkets. Organic potatoes are typically grown on fewer acres than » Read more
Intensified nationwide testing under considerationPotato growers in Idaho are in for a lot more of the same kind of activities as they enter the 2007 growing season. But growers across the United States may get a greater share of the scrutiny as APHIS both homes in and zooms out in its pursuit of the potato cyst nematode (PCN). That assessment was made by Wayne Hoffman, assistant to the director of the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, who has been working on the state side of its cooperative program with USDAs Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Larry Hawkins, the APHIS public information officer working with PCN, said last summer APHIS proposed a program to intensify surveying and expand it beyond Idaho to other states and potato production areas. APHIS proposed that 100 percent of the seed potato fields and 10 percent of the production fields across the United States » Read more
Potato market looking good for 2007If the last few years are any indication, the potato industry could be in for another good year in 2007. While the retail market is still decreasing and prices have gone through the typically seasonal fluctuations, there are growing opportunities and signs of life on an international level. The potato industry is a global one, and there are a number of economic forces that are affecting the U.S. industry, making this years market complex, said Bruce Huffaker, president of the North American Potato Market News. Depending on the layer youre looking at you come up with radically different pictures, he said. One global trend creating a good environment for growers and marketers is a large international demand for U.S. potatoes. There is a short supply of potatoes in Europe, so many chip processors are importing potatoes from abroad. Potato production in Europe is down 13 percent from last » Read more

Anchor Steam Brewing, California and America's first craft beer brewing company, traces its roots/ recipes back to San Francisco's Gold Rush era of 1849. Originally named American Brewery, German brewer Ernst F. Baruth acquired the business in 1896 and changed the name to Anchor Steam Brewing. Hard to believe but it wasn't until 1977 that a second California craft brewing company, New Albion Brewery, was founded and began brewing premium beers.
In 1980, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. of Chico, CA made it three craft brewers in the Golden State with their Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a new beer type called American-style Pale Ale. In 1983, Mendocino Brewing, the state's first brewpub opened in Hopland, and a booming industry was born, state and nationwide. In 1985, Front St. Pub, Santa Cruz Brewing Company opened in Santa Cruz and was the first micro-pub in the Central Coast since Prohibition.
This new pub was wildly popular but is no longer in business. However, Santa Cruz, Capitola, Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek and Watsonville are now host to a growing number of quality beer breweries, micro-breweries, brew-pubs, craft beer houses, with more to come. So you know you can belly-up to our bar 7 days a week and gulp down local brewery craft beer, all while digging into some of the best pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and Italian food in town!

i have a problem i'm not sure how to explain.
I have 1 theme and X blogs (in network).
How can i save some informations (like adress or anything) and use it on the theme (like bloginfo('name'); for display the name of the blog).
For example, on the footer.php, i just want to add bloginfo('postal_adress) (or something else) and that automaticly display the postal adress of the blog wich i previously save on the db or somewhere else.
I think the best way is to add a new option in wp_option but how can i display it after that ? Modify the function bloginfo() ?
Do u understand my problem ? Do u know how can i resolve it ? A plugin maybe ? I don't know what excaclty looking for..
Thanks for u help :)

Trios has been a good experience so far.
AUTHOR: Smitty - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 26, 2013POSTED: Saturday, October 26, 2013
I am a new student to Trios. (3 weeks in) I am attending the video game design and development diploma program in London Ontario. When first applying to the college I was skeptical that they could deliver on their promises. I felt this way because I have attended another private college in the past that had failed to result in long term employment in the field.
I have been pleasantly surprised with their instruction as well as the overall professionalism I have seen so far. All schedules for courses have been accurate, and my instructor is very experienced and knowledgeable. I have zero complaints so far. I have studied some of the course curriculum on my own via internet research as a hobby over many years and have seen that the course is mirroring and expanding on what I have seen online. This shows me that regardless of the stature of the college I am in fact getting an accurate and valuable learning experience. Which is in fact what I am paying to be there for.
As for the many complaints I see online about the ability for Trios to help get graduates a job; I feel most of them are from students who have not put forth the proper effort and research required to land your first job in a new industry. Trios can't do it all for them, and even if they did, those are not the type of graduates that the employers are looking for.
The credential that a graduate earns does not suddenly mean people want you to work for them. (no matter where you study) The effort, knowledge, initiative, attitude, and strength of character is what the employer wants. The credentials received from any educational institution can only ever prove to an employer that the graduate has the knowledge required. The effort, initiative, attitude, and strength of character are up to the graduate.
Having failed to achieve long term employment from credentials I have earned in the past at a different college, I have learned that that the actions of the student, not the college determine employment.

I liked triOS!

I believe no one can do better than your own, therefore please take full advance of each and every opportunity, like learning in triOS but count on your self and you should learn how to show case yourself!!
I'm sure it will help every one to understand himself and how to move towards your success, as some truly said, "you can take horse to the river, but you can't take river to the horse".
I'm sure it is self explanatory, winners never wait for opportunity because they know how to create the opportunity in their favour!
Thank you once again for asking my comments about my experience in triOS, Mississauga!
It was truly great!!

SUBMITTED: Monday, December 21, 2009POSTED: Monday, December 21, 2009
Here is what I can tell you about the course. There is about a 30% dropout/failout rate. This high number is due to the fact that many people believe they have the capacity to be computer technicians, while very few individuals have 'the right stuff'. If you are an intermediate computer user, save yourself the trouble as you probably don't have the capacity to complete this course.
If you are capable, you will leave this program with 13 industry certifications. The diploma may or may not be taken seriously by employers/universities, I cannot say for sure. The certifications are universal however and if you have what it takes to complete them all you will have no problem finding work.
I already have two well paying part-time jobs doing server administration in Chatham, a town of 40,000 people. I found this work by responding to job postings online. The people I emailed my resume to said I was the only candidate with current certifications and that is why they called.
I go to class every day with many of the complainers on this forum. They are the people who do not have the capacity to pass the exams and get their certifications. Their inability to find work is due to their own incompetence. There are people in my class who after 9 months do not know how to set the time zone during a Windows installation and people who don't know what their computer's hostname is.
TriOS does a very good job of weeding out the incapables. My advice is if your brother is already an advanced user he will benefeit from this course, as it will give him certifications to back up his current knowledge. If not, he should study up on careers where he can use a computer, but not configure or troubleshoot them.

I was taught by one lawyer who was disbarred because he committed major acts of fraud in the corporate world, just goes to show the shadiness of this whole organization, which was never organized at all...unbelievable how these colleges just spring up and are allowed to steal peoples money without following through on fufilling their purpose in society, which is to educate and help people who don't have time to attend school full-time move on to a fufilling career. In the current economic crisis, I believe these "colleges" should be carefully monitored and have strict guidleines as to whether or not the staff and program is suitable for society.
I am now taking this "College" to court and if anyone else would like to join my in filing a cliam to get your hard earned money back from this over priced program, please contact me within a week from the day this message is posted, we can all benefit in more ways than one for toppling these unqualified jokers who run this business.

Journalism or technology? The Post's techy experiments
Charles Miller
edits this blog. Twitter: @chblm
We were in a stuffy conference room off London's Victoria Street but if you drifted off you might have dreamt you were in Silicon Valley listening to some well-worn techie truisms:
"We're always in beta."
"We're busy, but we're definitely shipping."
"Roadmaps are cooked out for the next year and-a-half."
"We'll keep iterating."
The speaker was Cory Haik, who had flown in from the States, but from the east coast – and the world of journalism, not technology.
She's executive producer for digital news at the Washington Post, and this was the first session of the News Rewired (#newsrw) conference held at Microsoft's London office.
Haik was talking about the Post's many online initiatives. Any doubts that jargon was a substitute for action were dispelled by her mind-blowing audio-visual presentation. My learned friend Myles Runham tells me it used Prezi.com, but it was the content as well as the style that impressed.
Here are a few of the Post's projects:
- @mentionmachine: a Twitter analysis tool developed by the Post to allow monitoring of names in tweets - for instance, changing interest in President Obama after he's made a controversial comment
- The Washington Post social reader: a free Facebook app that shows your friends what you are reading on the Post's website, and let's you see what they've looked at. Potentially troublesome, but it's had an incredible 28 million downloads since it was launched less than a year ago
- The White House visitors log: which takes publicly available data about who visited who at the White House, when and for how long, and what the President was up to at the time
- The Post's Politics iPad app: an unbelievably comprehensive guide now focused on the presidential election (e.g. who won each state in every election in the whole of US history – surprisingly popular, Haik said).
Haik admitted that the approach to all this is experimental. The kind of person she looks for in her team, while needing to think "journalism first", needs to be able to "speak the developers' language" (see above).
It wasn't clear how many – if any – of the projects can be justified in business terms. In the Q&A, Haik's shortest answer was to the straightforward question "what's your business model?" The question actually got a laugh from the audience – but it wasn't clear if that was because it was so obviously unanswered so far or because it's the kind of dumb question only asked by someone who doesn't 'get it' in the world of digital journalism.
Haik smiled indulgently: "None of this is behind a paywall." Engagement is its own reward: "We like your eyeballs."
You had to be impressed with the ideas and their execution, even if in some cases they had been taken to an almost comic level: I'm thinking of the graphical presentation of the shifting education policy positions of presidential candidates, placing them along an axis between state and federal responsibility over time. It was for those who hadn't got time to read the policies, Haik explained.
Like a start-up adapting a product and putting it out there, Haik's team learns what works and what doesn't. If the business question remains unanswered, the philosophy is clear:
"You have to think big even when you're doing something narrow."

Sure. And I don't want to make this terribly complicated. The patch looks good, and solves a clear problem. That said, there are a few related problems we'd like to solve: - We want to be able to move an export to a node with an already active nfs server. Currently that requires restarting all of nfsd on the target node. This is what I understand your next patch fixes. - In the case of a filesystem that may be mounted from multiple nodes at once, we need to make sure we're not leaving a window allowing other applications to claim locks that nfs clients haven't recovered yet. - Ideally we'd like this to be possible without making the filesystem block all lock requests during a 90-second grace period; instead it should only have to block those requests that conflict with to-be-recovered locks. - All this should work for nfsv4, where we want to eventually also allow migration of individual clients, and client-initiated failover. I absolutely don't want to delay solving this particular problem until all the above is figured out, but I would like to be reasonably confident that the new user-interface can be extended naturally to handle the above cases; or at least that it won't unnecessarily complicate their implementation. I'll try to sketch an implementation of most of the above in the next week. Anyway, that together with the fact that 2.6.25 is opening up soon (in a week or so?) inclines me toward delay submitting this until 2.6.26. > Remember, > locking is about latency. Adding more checking will hurt latency. Do you have any latency tests that we could use, or latency-sensitive workloads that you use as benchmarks? My suspicion is that checks such as these would be dwarfed by the posix deadlock detection checks, not to mention the roundtrip to the server for the nlm rpc and (in the gfs2 case) the communication with gfs2's posix lock manager. But I'd love any chance to demonstrate lock latency problems--I'm sure there's good work to be done there. --b.

The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"I am Ofglen," the woman says. Word perfect. And of course she is, the new one, and Ofglen, wherever she is, is no longer Ofglen. I never did know her real name. That is how you can get lost, in a sea of names. It wouldn't be easy to find her, now. (44.15)
You know how Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am"? Well, all this new woman has to do is say, "I am Ofglen" and she is—simple as that. This transfer of identities echoes the one at the beginning of the book, when the Ofglen the narrator knew replaced another, initial Ofglen. Similarly, the narrator may be called Offred now, but there was another Offred before her and may be another one to follow.

The Jew baiters who frequent this website accuse the Jews of being thieves of stealing something which actually belongs to them - they think they are being original however in the commentary of Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yiztchaki), who lived about 1000 years ago this is what he had to say about the first chapter of the Bible:
R. Yitzchok said: The Torah should have begun with [the verse] "This month shall be [your first month]," it being the first precept that the Israelites were commanded. Then why does it [the Torah] begin with "In the beginning"? This is because [of the concept contained in the verse,] "He declared the power of His works to His people in order to give to them the inheritance of nations." Thus, should the nations of the world say to Israel, "You are robbers, for you have taken by force the lands of the Seven Nations," they [Israel] will say to them: "All the earth belongs to G-d. He created it and gave it to whomever He saw fit. It was His will to give it to them and it was His will to take it from them and give it to us."
The Jew baiters are hardly original it is the same false and baseless claim that has been made by Jew haters for hundreds if not thousands of years. It is anti-Semitism since it denies the Jewish people as an entity that which is lawfully rightfully and morally theirs by setting up as a fake injured party an invented nation (not even one of the Seven Nations which inhabited Canaan) which never in all history had sovereignty over any part of the Land of Israel. We are still here and will be so when the Jew baiters and their hatreds are long forgotten.

Top Prescriptions Index for 2011 »
"Below is a list of the most popular prescription drugs dispensed in 2011 with links to drug monographs. The list may include the medication brand name and generic name.
Note: This information pertains to U.S. prescriptions only./"...
Acute Changes In Oxygenation And Lung Compliance
The administration of exogenous surfactants, including CUROSURF, can rapidly affect oxygenation and lung compliance. Therefore, infants receiving CUROSURF should receive frequent clinical and laboratory assessments so that oxygen and ventilatory support can be modified to respond to respiratory changes. CUROSURF should only be administered by those trained and experienced in the care, resuscitation, and stabilization of pre-term infants.
Administration-Related Adverse Reactions
Transient adverse reactions associated with administration of CUROSURF include bradycardia, hypotension, endotracheal tube blockage, and oxygen desaturation. These events require stopping CUROSURF administration and taking appropriate measures to alleviate the condition. After the patient is stable, dosing may proceed with appropriate monitoring.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Studies to assess potential carcinogenic effects of CUROSURF have not been conducted.
Poractant alfa was negative for genotoxicity in the following assays: bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), gene mutation assay in Chinese hamster V79 cells, chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamster ovary cells, unscheduled DNA synthesis in HELA S3 cells, and in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.
No studies to assess reproductive effects of CUROSURF have been performed.
Use In Specific Populations
Pediatric Use
CUROSURF is indicated for the rescue treatment, including the reduction of mortality and pneumothoraces, of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) in premature infants [see INDICATIONS AND USAGE and DOSAGE ADMINISTRATION].
The safety and efficacy of CUROSURF in the treatment of full term infants or older pediatric patients with respiratory failure has not been established.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.
Last reviewed on RxList: 3/7/2016
