"It is from this humanist perspective that Barack Obama views the world. He and other "progressives" who share his worldview willfully ignore that, as history proves, when man is the measure of all things, all things can, and usually do, go horribly wrong. Consider, for example, the hundreds of millions killed under the humanist regimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, et al." Sorry, Obama's a christian. And so was Hitler. And Stalin and Mao were not "humanists" Of course in reality, societies with low amounts of Religion that also value human freedom tend to have large amounts of happiness, education and wealth.

World Wetlands Day 2002: USA

Subject: WWD pics from the Pacific NW, USA
Hi Valerie...Thank you so much for all of the WWD materials...they were great. I wanted to forward on to Ramsar some of our best photos of our WWD celebration in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, in case you wanted to use them on your Web site.
The day was a success, with beautiful weather -- the group toured a partially restored estuarine slough, the other part being retained as freshwater wetlands for waterfowl management purposes; then witnessed thousands of migratory snowgeese pour into a nearby agricultural field on Fir Island, being engulfed in their beautiful loud cacophony; and finally toured an estuarine/beach system and heard a cultural wetlands presentation by the Swinomish Indian Tribe.

NEW YORK (AP) - The NYPD is looking for a man who stabbed a teenage girl multiple times as she returned home from work.
Natasha Martinez was attached from behind in front of her Woodhaven, Queens, home around 11:30 p.m. Monday.
Police say the 17-year-old girl was stabbed about a dozen times in the back and chest. She underwent surgery and was listed in stable condition.
Her mother told the New York Post that she was in bed waiting for her daughter to get home from her job at McDonald's when she heard her scream: "Mommy, Mommy, help me."
She said her daughter was bleeding profusely.

Just In Time For The Feast Of The Epiphany, "Our Father Gave To Us - The 12 Days Of Christmas" Is Now Available On iTunes As Either A Song Or An E-book
PHOENIX, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Today, at the 11th hour on the 11th Day of Christmas, iTunes posted the song "Our Father Gave To Us The Twelve Days of Christmas." You can download it today to your music library for only $0.99 and celebrate the 12th Day of Christmas and the Epiphany!
Last year, author Rebecca Even of Prayersongs Publishing released a song, a book, an ornament kit, and a youtube video reflecting the likely Catholic meanings behind the lovable and popular song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
Thirty years ago, a Byzantine priest, released a "juicy tidbit" on the internet that he stumbled upon while doing his doctoral thesis. This letter was written in the mid-1600's from one Jesuit priest to another. According to this priest, the letter revealed that the silly, seemingly non-sensical song was originally intended to be a covert catechism for the Catholic faithful of the time.
The elderly and scholarly priest does not care to discuss the validity of what he saw, and because he did not keep the letter, he cannot produce it for proof. As a result, he simply says, "Believe if you will or do not; it is up to you."
Last year, after the first public singing of this old song (with new words), one bishop gave an impromptu teaching on the history of this period. In Rome, there is a college named The Venerable College of England. During the time period in question, this college was run by the Jesuits. For nearly 100 years during this period, EVERY seminarian who came out of that school was martyred for their faith in England. In fact, if you visit the college today, you will see that the church is surrounded by paintings depicting the martyrdoms that earned the college the moniker of the "School of Martyrs".

A word from Gyu-Kaku - Topanga Canyon
Social dining - spending time with friends and family - is what Gyu-Kaku (GEW-KAH-KOO) is all about. Gyu-Kaku offers the fun of 'shared plates,' inspiring laughter, conversation, and good times. You can't help it – with a personal grill installed at every table, everyone instantly becomes an expert cook. The staff at Gyu-Kaku is young and friendly, leading you through the night with helpful suggestions. The sounds around you are of parties and laughter - the perfect choice for first dates, families, and catching up with friends. Gyu-Kaku, meaning "Horn of the Bull" in Japanese provides the authentic Japanese Yakiniku (barbeque) dining experience where our customers share premium cooked meats over a flaming charcoal grill while sipping on Japanese Sake, Shochu and frosty cold beers.Continued

- Grill with a Thrill: Japanese BBQQuicKickVIPDined on 9/15/2014The combination of fresh meats & vegetables over a table fire makes for an awesome dining experience.

- Dinner with my fatherOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/6/2014Gyu-Kaku is one of those places where we have to occasionally come back to due to its interesting menu and style of cooking. The service is lacking at times but it is always a fun time to spend with my family. The food is always good because you cook it yourself so it is to your liking.Special Features:

- surpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/3/2014Upon your first dining trip to this restaurant, you will find offered a Guy-Kaku card. Although it costs a dollar, it pays you back in fold. Every $250 spent, gives you $50 off your meal. And the pleasant surprise is when the bill was $70, used my card and the bill came back at $30. The food is already good but tastes better when its almost free. Dan, our server, was actually the best service I have ever had at this restaurant, because it usually sucks. Just do it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- I like the place but....CouldbbetterDined on 7/4/2014I made a reservation @7 for my bday, our server was not very efficient, and I had to wait on everything and ask for multiple refills. He forgot the sauces, we never even got the hot one. My family who had never eaten there were not impressed. I've had much better service, it was a holiday I understand. But my bday was marred slightly by the weak service.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Quality timeOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/29/2014A chance to spent time with my 15 year old daughter and enjoy what she wanted for me, for Fathers day . Obvious we didn't make it that day... Food was awesome we ordered a coarse meal with soup salad bimpap(rice dish) and meats 3 plates for each. The salad has jicama and a very plesent dressing , really everything they/you make (cause the burner is in the middle of the table and you cook most of it!) is made or prepaired to perfection .service is just ok don't be surprised Just do it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always consistentFoodeeVIPDined on 6/28/2014Good food and service, very noisy, bathroom needs attention/remodel BADLY.Special Features:
- Food is Great Service non-existentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/22/2014The dining experience started off well, but once the excellent food was delivered it was impossible to get them to come over which sucked when the flame at our table went out. And it took forever for us to get the waiters back over so we could order more food and then they charged us wrong to top it off.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- overpriced Korean BBQDr88Dined on 6/20/2014The amount you pay is not really worth it. You can find other Korean BBQ for a much lower price.
- No more onionsdee12345Dined on 6/15/2014They no longer offer onions on their menu for grilling. I was sad but the dishes are still pretty good. Made a reservation via OpenTable- but the hostess made us wait 15 min and tried to seat a walk-in group before us. I wouldn't have minded if happy hour wasn't about to end - but it was so we showed her out opentable Rez, insisted, and she took us first. Be sure to show the hostess your Reservation or it might not matter. Coming back still for that meat and $1.50 beers :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- twoheartsshowsDined on 6/15/2014Great food as always. Topanga has the best service of all the Gyu Kaku restaurants.Special Features:
- Great food. Bad service.kv323Dined on 6/14/2014I really wish the service here was better. The food is amazing but every time we've dined at this location we have had mediocre if not horrible service. I'm not asking for anything extra...it would just be nice to have the waiter refill your drink and bring you your entire order rather than waiting until your done and apologize that you want to take the forgotten item off your bill because you never received it. These are just a couple things that have happened each time we've dined. It's horribly consistent. I'd rather visit the Sherman Oaks location. They seem to know how to there job.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/13/2014Table was dirty, food was good. Service staff was attentive. Very loud no ambience.Special Features:
- The following 452 reviews are from the Gyu-Kaku - Topanga Canyon reviews archive.
- Always a great timeSocialWorker1Dined on 5/30/2014Went for lunch with a friend from out of state. It was her first time and she loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So-so food. Terrible service.MytwocentsDined on 5/23/2014We've been to other locations on numerous occasions. This location had the worst service we've ever experienced. Generally like the food at Gyu-Kaku, but it's steadily been going down hill. For the money, it's definitely not worth it these days. Decent at happy hour prices, but definitely not at full price. After 8 years, this was the final for us. Won't be returning.Special Features:
- Hibachi Styleksb1001VIPDined on 5/21/2014Gyu Kaku has good food and a huge menu. I always end up going not at happy hour times, so it can be quite pricey. We spent $200 on a dinner for five - with six drinks. But the meat is great. The garlic noodles absolutely yummy, and the desserts also quite good. Also the pot stickers, edaname, etc. is nice. Great for kids cuz they can make S-mores and grill their own meat and veggies.Special Features:
- yumWooLeeDined on 5/11/2014My wife & I love this place - Killer deal for a great meal - love the yaki-shabu, happy hour is awesome.Special Features:
- very goodnealVIPDined on 5/2/2014this is always a fun place. food and service are good and its fun to cook your own foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good and different dinningAzucarbabeDined on 4/26/2014First time I took my 9 year old to a Korean BBQ place and he enjoyed it. He loved that he can cool his food and pretended to be a grown up. Also the waiter was very accommodating to explain to him how the resturant worksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrid ServiceFitnessFoodieDined on 4/26/2014We had a reservation (from Open Table) and when we got there, we had to wait "while they get your table ready". OK no problem. 20 minutes later, after seeing others who arrived after us get seated, I asked the hostess, who was a bit unfriendly, about our table. She says "Oh, it's been ready". Really?! I'll fast forward to the waiter - who was in training. He took forever to bring our drinks - my lemon drop tasted awful. Then he kept bringing us food we didn't order. When I asked about the food we DID order, he said they hadn't started it yet and it would take a long time. Verbatim, that's what he said. We finally got it - food was okay, not good enough to make up for the horrible service. We won't be back, only because of the BAD service.
- ReservationOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/25/2014Whats the point of making a reservation for a specific time, when the lady lets u in 20 min later? Other than that everything was okSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- GYU KAKU great food Lousy service aTJB1131VIPDined on 4/11/2014Food was great as it always is, service at table was good with Bar glitches but taken care of. BUT the service to get seated from time of check in was over the top BAD approx 25 minutes waiting while walk ups were ushered right in after a few minutesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- usually great but...disappointedDined on 4/7/2014Our server had the worst attitude and ruined the whole time for me. This was my third time at this restaurant and they can get packed during happy hour. That being said, I've had slow service before but never downright rude service like I had the other night. Our server didn't even take our drink order for ~20 minutes. She didn't say hi, welcome, turn on the grill, or anything. When she took our order she literally said "what do you want", wrote it down, then walked away with attitude...the absolute worst. I'm not coming back for a long time.Special Features:
- choicesOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/6/2014the place would be incredible if the service was better, you cook it yourself what else do they have to do.no cut rolls anymore now no hand rolls. Only beer and Japanese liquor for mixed drinks meats and sukiyaki awesomeSpecial Features:

The city of Boaz's plans for a new aquatic center are one step closer to reality.
The city council is expected to vote to purchase a half acre of land adjoining the old outlet malls.
If approved, that will complete the purchase of the 23.5 acre tract being considered for the sports complex.
Mayor Tim Walker said a vote to construct the aquatics center could come in the next few weeks.

Where's the money?
Where is all the tax and lottery money going? A while ago, the government borrowed money for health care. No wonder they are broke. And school kids have to buy many school supplies that they don't need. Why must they have wipes for their desks? Why can't they use paper towels? What are the janitors doing?
Place blame on society
Where do I begin? In my 36 years of service I have seen a distinct trend toward a more violent society. We now have more domestic calls, more neighbor trouble runs, more disorderly persons, etc.
The reasons are many but in my opinion, the major part of the blame goes to too many parents who gave up on, ignored, disdained and disrespected their kids.
It is amazing to me every time we get a call for a domestic involving kids and parents and the parents, only reason for calling was that their kids disrespected them and would not do what they told them to do.
If the parents would have taken an interest in their kids right from the get go and set down some rules and showed them how to respect others, then they wouldn't have had the need to call us.
By the time the parents figure it out, it is too late. Just take a look at our society; the songs the kids listen to, the movies that are being made, the language being used by adults and kids on radio and TV.
As a society, we have failed to police ourselves and we are now paying the price. Not enough adults are standing up and saying no to this type of behavior.
More on today's youth
There is still goodness and respect in the world but it is slowly eroding away. Life is peaks and valleys and we are sliding into a valley. How deep that valley is, I do not know.
My dear wife has asked a good question repeatedly over the years. Many of today's kids are being watched by their grandparents because the parents refuse to parent. Who is going to watch the kids a generation from now when the grandparents are no longer around?
Too many of today's parents won't know how because they didn't raise their own kids.
Folks have forgotten that in order to get respect you have to give it. Too many of the kids of today think they should get respect only because they exist. The kids have been abandoned by those who are responsible for them. The kids are being influenced by the "idols" of their culture and, too often, those are the last adults the kids should be looking up to.
I hate to sound so pessimistic, but that is one side of the coin I have seen.
On the other side, there are still some great kids and parents who are doing the right thing and doing it well. They will put themselves in positions of leadership simply because there will be no one else and they will accept the challenge.
Fortunately, there are still more of these kids than the ones described above. We have to get back to what made this country great.
Our leaders have to stand up for what is right and not for what is convenient or personally profitable. We need leaders who set the example and live up to a moral code.
I heard a DJ on the radio the other day say that today's politicians are nothing more than political hacks. He asked the question, where are the statesmen/women that guided this country to what is good and right; individuals of strong moral fiber and honesty?
There are few in Washington, D.C. and also far too few in too many state and local governments.
Raising a stink
If there's a psychologist or psychiatrist reading this, please tell me what kind of thinking goes on in the minds of these people who take their dog to foul someone else's yard? Or do they just turn it loose in the dark of night so it won't be seen?
When I see a trashcan overturned and the garbage strewn about, I think that must have been a wandering dog.
Maybe these people think now that they have us convinced their child can do no wrong, it's time to convince us their dog can do no wrong.
Well, I'm not convinced, in either case. I feel they are despicable, inconsiderate, undesirable citizens. When I find dog feces in my yard I take my trowel and toss it into the street where people can drive over it and spread it around so others can enjoy it, too.
Dealing with trespassing
This is about those who want to put up signs to keep people out of their yard. We have a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses who come to our door. They think because they are a church group, that it's OK to come and harass us.
In our neighborhood, we call the police, because you never know who is going to try and rob your house. Maybe they should do the same.
A place for dogs
I would like to make a comment about the new ordinance that no dogs can be on the Riverwalk. They say we can't have dogs there. That's discrimination against certain people. I recently bought property here, and now I'm reconsidering. There are lots of older people who have dogs. We should have an area of the beach where we can take our dogs. We pay taxes, too. If someone doesn't pick up after their dog, then they should be fined, but for everyone to be punished is unfair.
Here's a solution
The answer is quite simple: Have the day shift sheriffs get out of their cruisers and walk through the schools in their sector periodically. That's what we flatfoots did in the old days. I'll bet you couldn't find a sheriff who knows the principal or vice principal on their own beat. That goes for the city cops, too. Crimes happen in schools folks.
We don't need specialized units anymore. For some reason, sheriffs and local cops stay in their cruisers playing with the computer all day. Worst piece of equipment ever developed for police work, the laptop with games installed.
Gas regulations
This is about all the gas stations with all different prices. I can't get over how all these stations do this. I'd hate for Obama to have to come in and regulate gas prices. There are some places where there are lines for the pumps. And some places have really high prices.
Why don't they regulate the prices?
No accountability
We live in danger because there is little or no accountability, but authorities have acknowledged that three fugitives caught by police all have long criminal records, including murder cases in 2006 and 2007.
Despite this, they were on the streets at 1 a.m., fired a weapon at a potential victim and were apprehended with a Mac-10 and a semi-automatic pistol only after a night-long chase. Police later recovered five loaded guns, one of which had been stolen.
Why the judge and the prison system were unable or unwilling to keep them in prison has not been explained.
Tax sweets, too
Now we have citizens who are claiming that a tax on soda and other fatty, sugary drinks discriminates against citizens in a free society telling them what isn't healthy and what we can and can't consume. We go onto say how the tax also hits poor and middle class Americans.
We also have another bad habit, smoking, and by raising the tax on cigarettes this is supposed to make us all stop smoking. Ya think? What's next? Well I guess it's your turn now, soda, cupcakes and candy. How does it feel?
If you think about it, do you really think the government wants us to stop smoking and stop eating sugary products so we live longer? What about health care? How old do you want to be? Do you really think if you don't eat candy or smoke that you'll be skipping rope when you're 70?
What about street numbers?
I'm sure that most of us got a brochure in our water bill that was to remind us that there are codes, which the city enforces. I'm glad that our city's codes are not tucked away in some statute book. I congratulate the city. In short, very helpful to us all, but I will hone in on one code, which has me perplexed.
It is "House Numbers" 41.10(C)2, which states: "For safety purposes all buildings (residences and businesses) must have the numbers of the address posted on the front of the structure and be clearly visible from the road-way. The numbers must be at least 4 inches in height with contrasting color from the background color."
Living in Florida for 30 years (excluding my time in the military), I've found that residences do a good job in compliance. Those at fault are businesses. They seem to get around needing an address by being in a named strip mall. Very few, unless living near, know where to go. Some give landmarks, such as, two blocks north of the Jiffy wash. This is no way to run a city.
Check out U.S. 1. You are more likely to get into an accident, looking for any address, than to find where you want to be.
If code wants to overlook what I have described, at least mark the streets.

Quick, easy and affordable: the three words every techy loves to hear.
Stem Innovation hopes to capitalize on these consumer hot buttons with the release of a nifty new product called the iZone Remote Room Monitor. Priced at $129.95, the cylinder-shape video camera can stream audio and video to any iPod touch, iPhone or iPad—anywhere in the world. A free app, Stem: Connect App, lets users remotely monitor the video captured by the camera, which looks more like one of those fancy air fresheners than a surveillance camera. If you don't have the time or inclination to keep checking on the iZone, the camera can alert you automatically when there is motion or noise in a room and even record the audio and video to a free, private YouTube account.
Installation involves mounting the camera to any horizontal surface or to the ceiling and swiveling it toward the area you want to monitor. Then download the app, plug in the camera and add it to your wireless home network. Use it to keep an eye on the kids in the playroom, watch for a delivery on the back porch, or make sure all is well while you're away on vacation.
The product is available at http://www.steminnovation.com and in select Best Buy locations, and soon in Apple retail stores. Target will offer the iZon in October.

Violent crime drops in 2001
crime in Blaine continues to drop, but local police are
getting busier and busier writing tickets. When Blaine police
chief Bill Elfo presented city council with the state of
police business on July 22, he showed a steady decline in
the violent crime and property crime rates, a lower number
of misdemeanor filings in municipal court, but a higher
number of notices of infraction being issued.
Blaines number of violent and property crimes dropped for the fourth year in a row from 2000 to 2001. In 1997, there were 683 crimes serious enough to merit reporting to the national crime database, which monitors the index crimes of murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. That number dropped to 384 by 2001. Since Blaines population grew in that period, that translates to the index crime rate per capita being cut in half. However, Elfo noted that the index doesnt track felony offenses more common to Blaine, such as drug trafficking. This is just one picture of crime in a city, he said.
Misdemeanor crimes in Blaine, such as driving with a suspended license, minors in possession of alcohol and drunk driving decreased very marginally from 2000 to 2001. However, notices of infraction, which include non-criminal citations ranging from speeding to not wearing a seatbelt, were up close to 30 percent in 2001.
Misdemeanors and traffic enforcement are a good indicator of work load, Elfo said. Of crimes handled in municipal court, which covers non-criminal infractions and misdemeanors, Blaine has the highest number of cases per resident and cases per officer of any city in the county. In 2000 there were 200 cases in Blaine court for every officer on the force compared to 63 in Lynden municipal court and 110 for Ferndale. Those numbers went up in 2001 to 260 for Blaine and 74 for Lynden, but down in Ferndale to 79.
Elfo said being a border town was the main reason for the high volume. Police responded to the ports of entry almost 400 times in 2001, up 25 percent from the year before, mostly for misdemeanors. Every drunk driver coming into the country, every one with a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, every suspended license, we handle, Elfo said. Higher scrutiny at the borders since September 11 and increased surveillance from Border Patrol cameras is pushing the number of border related incidents higher, Elfo said. Were having more contact with these people now because theyre being detected.
With over 8 million vehicles crossing the border into Blaine, and a similar number outbound every year, Blaine has a traffic volume that translates into more traffic violations, Elfo said. Only 21 percent of the violators have Blaine zip codes, he said. Blaine issued 2,781 notices of infraction in 2001, compared to 1,986 in the year before. Lynden issued 547 tickets in 2000 and 660 in 2001, while Ferndale issued 981 in 2000 and 611 in 2001.
Besides more work for police officers, more tickets means more money in Blaine coffers. In 2001 the city collected $249,718 in fines compared to $201,811 the year before, more than double that collected in any of the other small cities in the county. We dont look at fines as a source of revenue, but they do offset the cost of criminal justice, Elfo said.
In comparing Blaine with data from 27 other Washington cities with populations between 2,500 and 5,000, Elfo said Blaine came out on top of the list for most misdemeanor arrests, most citations issued, and most misdemeanor arrests and citations per officer.
The city was lower down the list for violent crimes and property crime but still on the high side, with a crime rate ranking seventh out of 27 in those areas. We hope to see us lower on the chart next year, Elfo said..

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Often considered the most "masculine" Côte de Beaune red, Pommard is a firm, full-bodied wine that is nevertheless exceptionally round and generous, with a fruity depth of character and a bouquet suggestive of raspberries, leather and earth.
Pairs well with hare and other small game, beef braised in wine, or strong cheeses such as époisses, livarot and pont l'evêque. This wine can be enjoyed immediately or within 10 years of the vintage.
"A somber and heavily earth-inflected nose displays moderately high-toned notes of ripe raspberry, cherry and red currant that complement the fresh, vibrant and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that possess good mid-palate density as well as good depth and fine length.

The House of Louis Jadot has been producing exceptional Burgundy wines since its founding in 1859 by Louis Henry Denis Jadot. For the past 150 years Louis Jadot has continued as one of the great names of Burgundy and has gained international reputation for its superb red and white Burgundy wines. Louis Jadot is not only one of the largest producers of estate Burgundies of the Cote d'Or, it is one of the most celebrated exporters of premium Burgundies, owning close to 140 acres of vineyards from 24 of the most prestigious sites in Burgundy.
The region of Burgundy is the fairytale land of vines. There are stories of kings, conquerors and commoners recounting the seductive effects of a Burgundian wine. Even now, many wine aficionados and lovers will pinpoint their most memorable wine moment at that first taste of an aged Burgundy. Much of this can be related to the terroir of Burgundy. Centuries of winemaking have...Read More About Burgundy

Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/couchbase.so' - libcouchbase.so.7
I got the following error:
Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/couchbase.so' - libcouchbase.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
I followed the instructions as follows:
couchbase.so is in /usr/lib/php/modules/ and in php.ini extension=couchbase.so
json is there and works, we use it in php all the time (built in, so extension=json.so is not needed)
yum install -y libcouchbase-devel --nogpgcheck yum install -y libvbucket-devel --nogpgcheck
both worked, and libcouchbase.so is there, but not libcouchbase.so.7
I found:
/usr/lib/libcouchbase.so.1 /usr/lib/libcouchbase.so.1.2.2 /usr/lib/libcouchbase_libevent.so.1 /usr/lib/libcouchbase_libevent.so.1.0.0
... all soft links to libcouchbase.so, so I made another soft link to /usr/lib/libcouchbase.so.7 on the off chance that it would help, but no.
Couchbase 2.0 itself is installed and the samples work.
It appears you're trying to use the PHP 1.1 library with libcouchbase 1.0. You'll need to use libcouchbase 1.1. For right, right now the best method of doing so would be to download the RPM from couchbase.com/develop/c/next
Apologies for the confusion. This is covered in the manuals and on the couchbase.com/develop page, but there can be confusion because there are two prominent releases.
Couchbase Server 1.8 which requires the 1.0 PHP extension which depends on libcouchbase 1.0
Couchbase Server 2.0 DP which requires 1.1DPx which depends on libcouchbase 1.1.x.
As of this writing, we're prepping a new 1.1DP which will use libcouchbase 2.0.0beta. This should be available early next week. That's why I'm recommending the use of a download, but you can certainly use yum as long as you install the specific version.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We love these programs! They are absolutely beautiful! I would suggest you go with the pearl paper. It's what make the entire design come together."
"the program card is wonderful, excellent paper quality and print - turned out very professional- Of course at $3 a card it should have."
"The fuchsia was a beautiful bright color. It gave a joyous feeling to the ceremony. It would be a lot better if the programs could be printed by Paper Divas. Using the same method as on other stationary. I do not understand why it is not done that way. It is unnecessarily cumbersome."
"I love my wedding programs! The rich purple is consistent throughout printing and matches what I saw on the screen. The printing is clean and easily read, and the font looks great in person too. I definitely took advantage of paying the extra few cents per card in order to have a more elegant edge cut on the card. I think it added a hint of "something" that gives the program extra personality and it better matches the direction I was going for. I would order these again in a heartbeat."
"These programs are gorgeous! I didn't do anything crazy to the design, I simply made one of the text boxes bigger through a designer and they were super helpful! I saved myself such a headache ordering these instead of making them myself. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!"

After a year in Kuwait, 18 men and women of the Minnesota National Guard were reunited with family Sunday afternoon for an extra special Veterans Day.
The soldiers are from the 147th Human Resources Company out of Arden Hills. They ran the theater gateway for the past year over in Kuwait, responsible for processing thousands of other soldiers and making sure they got their proper rest and relaxation and other requirements while deployed.
"There is no way to describe the feeling right now it's unbelievable ," says Specialist Eric Egginger. "I didn't know any of these people were going to be here I thought it was just going to be my mom here."
Instead Egginger was created by a crowd including his nephews, sister, and friends.
Egginger is one of the 18 soldiers who returned from the 147th Human Resources Company.
"The soldiers of the 147th Human Resources Company received numerous accolades and commendations for their hard work, performance and positive attitudes while coming together as a team during our time away from families and friends," said Army Sgt. 1st Class Ezra J. Schoenike, supervisor for the group stationed in Kuwait.
"Our soldiers deployed to multiple areas in both Kuwait and Afghanistan," said Schoenike. "We had the chance to participate in a historic event in assisting with the troop drawdown in December 2011 for thousands of soldiers in their redeployment through Kuwait back to the U.S.
"It's overwhelming," says Specialty Anita Playle "Any day we come home it's a success. To come home on Veterans Day. It's very special."
27 soldiers from the company remain in Kuwait and are scheduled to return next month.

From the Director
This academic year marks the sixth year of the Center for Christianities in Global Contexts (CCGC), established with the generous support of the Henry Luce Foundation. During the past five years, the Center has benefited from the many gifts of its previous directors, including Dr. Elizabeth Tapia, Dr. Wesley Ariarajah and, most recently, the co-directorship of Dr. Virginia Burrus and Dean Jeffrey Kuan, working in collaboration with Luce Graduate Fellows. This year, Dr. Kenneth Ngwa will direct the work of the center, working with a group of five Luce Fellows (Christian Kakez-A- Kapend, Terra Rowe, Jung Eun Jang, Wang-eun Serl, and Karen Bray), who bring great enthusiasm and multiple gifts to the enable the CCGC to build on the successes of the previous years, to deepen and expand the Center's contributions to the life of the Theological School, as well as to forge global partnerships.
To that end, the CCGC continues to host events that highlight the rich manifestations of Christian manifestations in different cultures; forums that foster greater integration of our M. Div. cross-cultural studies into our pedagogies and conversations on global Christianities; the use of technology (video cinematography) to enhance and enrich the experience of cross-cultural and transnational manifestations of Christianities; and support for faculty research on contextual theologies and global ecology.
In collaboration with theological institutions abroad that have sent research fellows to the Center, we will seek the establishment of partner centers in Asia and Africa that will not only anchor longstanding collaborative research on the character of Christianities in different contexts, but also serve as resource centers on curriculum development, transnational religious practices, and the impact of technology on the pedagogies of global theological education.
We continue to be grateful to Luce Foundation for its generous support of our work.

Assistant Professor, Hebrew Bible
The Theological School, Drew University

Environmental review gives green light to new jail
Published on Wed, Nov 13, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
After an extensive environmental review, jail planners have recommended giving the green light to the proposed site of the new Whatcom County Jail and sheriff's facilities.
Principals from the DLR Group and Shockey Planning Group, the two firms charged with planning and designing the jail, presented Whatcom County Council members the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) issued November 7, along with a report assessing the county's needs for the new jail.
Reid Shockey, president of Shockey Planning Group, told council members that the site on LaBounty Road would be able to handle the project.
"After all of the environmental review, the document concludes that the site will accommodate this facility," he said. "We have identified the impacts, and mitigation can offset those impacts."
To comply with Ferndale city code, the jail would be set back 250 feet from the road and no inmate activity would be visible from anywhere outside the property. Aesthetically, the jail would look like any commercial or industrial building in the area.
"It will be a jail that doesn't look like a jail," Shockey said.
The FEIS includes traffic statistics compiled by Gibson Traffic Consultants.
"The impacts of this facility on traffic are expected to be minor," Shockey said.
The city of Ferndale is in the process of updating its sewage treatment facilities, so Shockey said onsite sewage treatment might have to be built into the design of the jail.
About three acres of wetlands would be eliminated by the jail's construction.
"Two wetlands will be wiped out, but there is mitigation provided on the site. There are other wetlands that may see temporary impacts, but we have a mitigation plan to minimize the impacts of construction and afterwards," Shockey said.
Comments from the SEIS brought up concerns of nearby landfill sites with hazardous waste.
"We did a lot of test digs throughout the site. People had expressed concerns about various landfills around the site containing hazardous material. Those studies confirmed that the hazardous materials are off the property and the subsurface drainage drains away from the site, so there is virtually no impact from those," Shockey said.
A conditional use permit from the city of Ferndale is required before the county can move ahead with purchasing the property.
"This EIS was drafted assuming the building would be 660 beds, knowing full well it would likely be smaller," Shockey said. "That was to comply with State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) regulations that require us to assume a maximum case." Shockey added that if the jail were built smaller, a new EIS would not be required.
Bill Valdez, principal of the DLR Group, presented the needs assessment report. Based on projected population growth, the county requires a jail with 521 beds to meet current demand and projected growth over the next few years and would need 649 beds by 2026. A facility of that size would cost around $109 million.
"The feedback we're getting is that the price tag is a little too high," council member Sam Crawford said.
"As a county council, administrator and community, we're going to have to look at this and find a balance between what we need and what we can afford," Louws said. "We're talking about a four to six year construction process, but today we need to take the important step of deciding if this property works for us."
In their regular session on November 12, the county council approved an ordinance establishing a project fund for the new jail with a 6–0 vote.
The full texts of both the FEIS and the needs assessment are available on the county's jail planning website at co.whatcom.us/jailsiting.

Virginia Beach's version of the classic sun and sand scene deserves high marks. Known for being a family-friendly resort area, this city manages to keep both costs down and spirits up-not an easy task. It's not just families who head here, either. You'll find an active college-age crowd residing in Virginia Beach apartments, too. So if an unpretentious seaside community sounds good to you, we'll expect to see you soon in Virginia Beach.
All the way back in 1607, three ships of English colonists landed just north of here, on Cape Henry. The passengers were among the first Europeans to travel to the New World. Under orders to settle inland, they built the colony at Jamestown. Coastal Virginia Beach didn't really begin to grow until in the late 19th century. That's when rail service and electricity arrived. The boulevard connecting Norfolk with the seashore opened in 1922 and that gave another boost to this resort area. By 1952, Virginia Beach was an independent city and primed to receive a steady stream of vacationers and residents. Perhaps you could be among them?
If you don't know your way around Virginia Beach, you'll want to start on the boardwalk. This three-mile long concrete strip divides the shore on one side from hotels, shops, bars, and restaurants on the other. As you head south, you'll run across more nightclubs, too. Sandbridge, farther south, connects the city with North Carolina and the Outer Banks. You'll find a cottage community there, as well as excellent views. The northern section of the city stays quieter and remains less developed.
The main business in Virginia Beach is keeping tourists eager to return. You'll also find significant work here in agribusiness and in the military. Naval Air Station Oceana is actually the city's largest employer. Amerigroup, Christian Broadcasting Network, GEICO, and other major firms operate headquarters or branches in Virginia Beach.
If you're coming to Virginia Beach to study, there are two universities in town. Regent University is a private school founded by evangelist Pat Robertson. Atlantic University is connected with the Association for Research and Enlightenment and it focuses on New Age subjects.
You can expect to rent a two-bedroom Virginia Beach apartment for around $1,083 a month. That cost of living is a bit higher than the national average, but it's not bad for a resort area. While many of the properties here are set up as vacation rentals, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a place to call home longer-term. The vacancy rate in the city is about average at six percent.
Most folks who live in Virginia Beach aren't confused about where to find the city's main attractions-the boardwalk and beyond. Unroll your beach towel and settle into the sand. If you want to learn about the area's history, First Landing State Park marks where the Jamestown settlers came ashore. It's also a great place to hike and camp. There's the Old Coast Guard Station and the Old Cape Henry Lighthouse to visit, as well. For a deeper view of the sea, swing through the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center. If you want to stay outdoors, Virginia Beach has plenty of opportunities to golf, surf, kayak, fish, or spot whales, dolphins, and migrant birds.
Many of the special events in Virginia Beach center around the seashore. The East Coast Surfing Championship and the North American Sand Soccer Championship are two prime examples. The Virginia Beach Patriotic Festival celebrates the city's military roots with concerts and displays. You can attend the Symphony by the Sea Series, Harborfest, or Sandstock if you want to bliss out to some music. For your creative fix, hit the Boardwalk Art Show and Festival in June.

Seems very well made, but haven't tested it for water repellency yet since our lakes are frozen over. Article is identical to the 233699 Guide Gear Boat Bag but in a different size. The two make a nice matching set.
I like the bag. Its a great bag at a good price...
Everything I expected, the rubber base an outer covering should keep gear dry.
This bag was a great buy! Purchased for a die-hard bass fisherman since couldn't find a tackle bag big enough for all his gear. He loved it! Enough room for all the gear and then some - plus, don't have to deal with all the zippers and pockets of standard tackle bags. I loved that it was half the price of much smaller tackle bags.

While Chicago police are trying to find out who sent a severed goat's head to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts, people can't seem to stop talking about it.
Cubs fans pouring into today's game against the Giants couldn't help by chime in about the unwelcomed package.
SEE: Police investigate goat's head sent to Wrigley Field
"This is something that's been going on for years and I think it's something that, it's just a prank that the fans are playing," says Cubs fan Don Baker.
"I think it's kind of funny. I don't know. I just think it's a blooper," Cubs fan Kelli Bastian says. "I don't think anything serious about it."
Even those in the Cubs organization got in on the discussion.
"Obviously, it's just an unfortunate fan doing something pretty stupid," he said.
The significance of the goat, however, lost on anyone. In 1945, a tavern owner named William "Billy Goat" Sianis tried to bring a goat to a World Series game, but was told his goat -- which had a ticket -- smelled too much to be admitted. Sianis angrily put a curse on the team and since then, the Cubs haven't been back to the World Series.
Fans have had little to cheer on the field in recent years, as the Cubs lost more than 100 games last year and are off to a rocky start this season. As for Ricketts, he's been negotiating a $300 million renovation of the stadium, built almost a century ago, with the city and neighborhood businesses. Police have not said whether the head is believed to be linked to those negotiations -- or anything else.
Cubs players, however, weren't intimidated by the gesture.
"That's probably just an upset fan or a fan of another team," first baseman Anthony Rizzo said before the Cubs played the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. "My opinion it's just dumb, but it is what it is."
Pitcher Jeff Samardzija was disappointed with the lack of creativity.
"Very original since it's only been around for 60, 70 years," pitcher Jeff Samardzija said. "You'd think they'd come up with something different."
As for Cubs spokesperson Julian Green, he doesn't want anything to do with another goat.
"We've got one too many goat legends," he said. "We don't need another one."
With all this talk about goats, how easy is it to get a goat head here in Chicago? Apparently, it's a lot easier than you think.
FOX 32's Lisa Chavarria went to see Masa Azul's Executive Chef Jonathan Zaragosa, also known as the "goat boy.". He's been dealing and cooking goat since the age of 12.
"It's easier than people think," Zaragosa says about obtaining a goat's head. "You just have to find a butcher, if you will, like my friend Robert Leavitt at the Butcher and Larder, he gets his in locally, as do we."
Buying a goat head won't hurt your wallet, either.
"You're looking at anywhere between 15 and 20 dollars," says Zaragosa.
The inexpensive purchase is still sparking a lot of debate in and outside of Wrigley Field.

MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin Public Service is agreeing to pay $1.2 million civil penalties related to violations of the Clean Air Act.
The U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency says WPS has also agreed to make substantial investments to reduce emissions from its Green Bay and Weston coal-fired plants.
WPS will invest around $300 million in pollution controls and another $6 million in beneficial environmental projects.
WPS allegedly failed to apply for federal air permits for improvement as far back as 1994.
Under the agreement, WPS has until 2015 to permanently retire, refuel or repower some of the several units at the two plants.
According to the EPA's website the total combined sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emission reductions secured from these settlements will exceed 2 million tons each year once all the required pollution controls have been installed and implemented.

Written by an ex-copper, set in Newcastle's sink estates during the rolling blackouts of 1974, and featuring a western siege in an abandoned police station, director Vince Woods' debut wants to be Get Carter meets Assault On Precinct 13.
Unfortunately, it looks more like The Bill meets Byker Grove. The tobacco-stained lensing adds suitable period grime, but the script is leaden with clichés as iffy as the casting – with the hard-ass DI (back to crack heads on his home turf after seeing it all on the mean streets of Hong Kong) played by the perfectly rosy-looking Stephen Tompkinson.

Yes! That is the best thing about doing early 19th century after spending a decade in the 18th century! So much cheaper! Also, if you aren't following the Dames a la Mode Facebook Page, some of my readers over there have offered advice as well! Take a gander!

1. WINNER: Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel
The sequel to the Man Booker-winning Wolf Hall
"By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife. But Anne has failed to bear a son to secure the Tudor line. At Wolf Hall, Cromwell watches Henry fall in love with plain Jane Seymour. The minister sees what is at stake: not just the king's pleasure, but the safety of the nation. As he eases a way through the sexual politics of the court, he must negotiate a 'truth' that will satisfy Henry and secure his own career. But neither minister nor king will emerge undamaged from the bloody theatre of Anne's final days."
(Fourth Estate)

Let me tell you not to read this book if you want it to make sense or even have the remotest plausibility of occurrence. I started with great interest to read about a man who seemed to be up against insurmountable odds: everyone a mystery and seemingly against him with his physical life in the balance. I read on until it just got to be way too much crap to digest or even contemplate.
