Review: The 3rd Birthday
On Christmas Eve 2013, Manhattan is devastated by an attack by the Twisted: deformed and dangerous monsters that emerge and gather around giant tree trunk-like nests called Babels. Some pedestrians scream and run, while others stay behind to record the events. Christmas has come early, and everyone is getting coal.
This information comes from The 3rd Birthday's fantastic opening cinematic, which is not very long (especially by Square Enix standards) but nevertheless makes the events leading up to this PSP-exclusive title's story very clear: New York City is under attack, and someone has to do something about it.
Enter Aya Brea, the now amnesia-ridden protagonist from Parasite Eve and Parasite Eve II. The once-strong and commanding NYPD officer is now a quiet, meek wisp of a woman being used by the CTI (Center for Twisted Investigation) to help change the shape of battles with the Twisted that have already happened. Due to Aya's vaguely explained abilities, when hooked up to a special machine she is able to "overdive" into the body of a soldier in the past, hurling her consciousness back in time with the ability to change the future. It's a little bit of Assassin's Creed and a little bit of Source Code, but there's a reason the game isn't called Parasite Eve III: it isn't much like a Parasite Eve game at all.
In the original series for the PlayStation, Aya had the ability to manipulate the mitochondria of any living thing (to make an enemy spontaneously combust, for example). While there's no mention of Aya's mitochondria-manipulating abilities that the series was built around, nor her back story at all (amnesia is a convenient way to re-imagine a series), you do see examples of her being able to manipulate the DNA of both enemies and allies. The soldier she takes control of along with those around her gain the ability to regenerate health, and she can even dive into enemies after wearing them down and then explode them from the inside. Pretty gruesome, yes, but effective. Aya also has a DNA board that lets you "evolve" pieces of her DNA using double or triple DNA cells created in battle. Each one is labeled with a different ability, and placing the same abilities next to each other will strengthen its level. Careful planning can overpower Aya, but poor planning will leave her a mediocre soldier. The fixed camera angles of the originals are also gone, and instead have been replaced by an over-the-shoulder camera that forces you to constantly tap the L-trigger to center the camera behind Aya.
The problems here are in both the gameplay and the story. The gameplay, while interesting at first, becomes repetitive and mindless. This is something you don't want from hour-and-a-half-long linear levels. You're herded along a path, shooting whatever doesn't look human and jumping from body to body to maneuver your position. More enemies will warp in and you never know how far along you are in clearing the area until the enemies abruptly stop appearing (it can sometimes feel like infinite spawns).
In the end, the overdive system doesn't enhance battle as much as the trailers professed. Each soldier backing you becomes reduced to an extra health bar and an ammo pack, as you can dive into the next soldier during Aya's death sequence and continue the fight. It functions more as a warp move that's more efficient than your dodge roll, but leaves whoever's body Aya jumped away from vulnerable to attack because the A.I. is not very good. Soldiers will fire two- or three-bullet bursts, only being effective offensively when Aya powers up her Crossfire ability, signaling nearby soldiers to empty their clips on your target. However, later battles that have you diving between soldiers, tank operators, and helicopter pilots add some nice seasoning to an otherwise fast food flavor.
You'll be graded on each of the seven episodes (that count includes Episode 0), earning you points for you to spend unlocking weapon upgrades and new guns. Each episode also includes a set of its own "feats," which are essentially in-game trophies. Meeting the requirements for the feat will gain you extra points for your upgrades. The episodes can also be replayed with purchased cheats.
The story is told mostly through beautiful cutscenes and in-game walkie-talkie narration as well as a file database, should you want more in-depth descriptions of characters or the timeline. With a very Square Enix melodramatic tone and some hokey dialogue, the story plays out more like a PS game than what we've come to expect from today's storytelling. Unfortunately, it fumbles to capture the tone of the originals and doesn't feel as deep as those games. Aya's memory is revealed in flashes as she battles more and more, but it never actually makes much sense until it's openly explained. There isn't much to think about here except for questionable time travel physics. And there are of course several twists, though none are especially mind-blowing.
A main component of the game is the return of Eve, the genetically improved clone of Aya from Parasite Eve II who Aya calls her little sister. Her reappearance drives the first portion of the story, pushing Aya to fight to retrieve her memories and reunite with the girl she recognizes from her past.
But the more I played the more I realized I just didn't feel connected to any of the characters. With such sparse back story and a limited showing of personality, most of the game is dedicated to machinegun fire and men discussing battle missions. For its large showing of drama there's very little actual substance driving the game, and the only thing allowing it to hang onto its RPG genre moniker is the fact that Aya and her weapons gain experience points.
The 3rd Birthday lacks creativity. Weapons are your usual handgun, sniper rifle, shotgun, and assault rifle of varying types, and even the special weapons don't feel new. There's a satellite gun that functions similarly to the Hammer of Dawn from Gears of War: it charges up and then sends a blast of energy from above to the targeted zone. If you've played a third-person shooter with an awkward cover system, then you've played this game.
Its biggest strength is actually in its production values. The menus and the directing are very stylishly done, living up to the Parasite Eve series' title of "the cinematic RPG." The game's at its best during the crispy, well-detailed cut scenes. With the game data installed the transitions between these cut scenes and gameplay are practically nonexistent. Square Enix really got the packaging and production down right, which makes the mediocre gameplay that much more disappointing. By the middle of Episode 4 of 6 I realized I just didn't have the drive to continue playing, as wave after wave of weird elephant-worm things warped into the battle, turning what should have been an epic gunfight into a chore.
It was a great idea to try to revive the Parasite Eve series for a current generation system, but this wasn't the way to do it. And with Square Enix releasing the original Parasite Eve on PSN with the release of The 3rd Birthday they accidentally proved that better technology does not equal a better game. I found myself wishing for some sort of clear-cut tie-in with the series as I played hour after hour, but the opportunity was missed. The game may take place 13 to 14 years after the first two games, but the ability to time travel should have opened up the obvious choice of sending Aya to events within the originals, possibly with changed outcomes. But none of that happened, at least not within the 8 hours it took me to get to Episode 4, and more than halfway through the game I realized that The 3rd Birthday is actually an action-based spin-off that discarded everything that made the Parasite Eve series memorable.

The characters that they offer in this game is so good. The thinking behind this is so good. This is what makes this game so much. The fans are very happy with it.
It's not a good thing when the best parts about your game are the movies. That means you should have just made a movie.

Fields that are poorly drained, weedy or planted with minimum tillage practices are at risk to damage from black cutworms, according to Adam Sisson, pest management program assistant at Iowa State University. Late-planted corn is also at risk, notes Missy Bauer, Farm Journal associate field agronomist.
If any one of these scenarios is at play in your fields this spring, consider scouting emerged corn weekly for black cutworm damage until the crop reaches the V5 growth stage. Check corn plants in four or five areas with each field, Sisson advises.
Problem signs are plant wilting, leaf discoloration and damage as well as missing and cut plants. In the following video, Bauer addresses her concerns with black cutworm damage this season.

Patient #16284 came in on July 20th from Albemarle, NC. On intake, we diagnosed him with a very complicated humerus fracture. His prognosis was not great. The fracture itself was comminuted and it was very close to the elbow. We weren't sure how the repair would go, and then more importantly, we didn't know how the scarring would affect the elbow extension.
His external fixator was removed about a month after surgery and he was flying immediately. This bird was released today, just 72 days post-surgery. That's less than 3 months. Barred owls are incredible healers.

Foo Fighters don't want you to forget that soon they'll be headed down south to play their first-ever Mexican concert. The band has just released a hilarious promotional video for the upcoming gig, which will take place on December 13 at Foro Sol in Mexico City.
Titled Entregando Lo Bueno -- which translates in English as Delivering the Good -- the nearly two-minute clip features CHiPs actor Erik Estrada personally delivering notes to each member of the band, notifying them that they will be performing in Mexico. While each member has a humorous reaction to the note, frontman Dave Grohl 's is perhaps the funniest. The singer answers the door wearing a pink apron -- and almost nothing else -- declaring that he will "cook" Mexico "like a delicious chicken."
Foo Fighters are currently in the studio working on their follow-up to 2011's Grammy-winning album, Wasting Light .

Remember Me
What would you call it if you combined dowsing, energy healing, feng shui and spirit cleansing all in one practice? Well, you'd call it Crossroads Consulting of course. It seems that practitioner Jodie Harvala can "dowse your space" and "improve your success" with a wave of her copper wand. She can also give you design advice, and if you're interested, she can provide reiki treatment too.
Ahh, where to begin...
A Maryland man who refers to himself as a Gypsy is claiming discrimination in the case of a Bethesda, Maryland law that forbids "foretelling the future." And.. the ACLU is on his side.
He claims that as a Gypsy, it's his historical heritage to open a fortune telling business, and that it's only because of the desire to drive Gypsies away that the law was put in place.
We published many articles where so-called psychics got things wrong. In fact, there are so many of those stories that we've backed off of them, fearing that they had inundated the site. But now, we have to report... a psychic had an actual hit. And it wasn't just any psychic, it was a pet psychic.
It seems that Tinker Bell, a six pound Chihuahua was standing on his owner's trailer when a 70 MPH gust of wind picked up the diminutive canine and whisked him off to parts unknown. The distraught owners searched for two days and in desperation, contacted a pet psychic.
In a recent press release, the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing announced that they had suspended chiropractor Judith Yager's license for one year.
Her transgressions?
Practicing with a lapsed license
Using a banned device to treat patients (device not named in press release)
Hiring an unlicensed chiropractor to treat patients in her clinic
Engaging in a sexual relationship with a patient
Providing false information to the board
Diagnosing patients based on handwriting samples and dreams
In 2008, I was encouraged to organize a skeptics group in Houston. Relying on the advice of friends from Denver, who had successfully started a similar group using the social website Meetup (www.meetup.com), I launched my site and have seen slow but steady growth. As discussed by Reed Esau on a Skepticiality podcast, it is often difficult to generate interest, keep the turnover rate low, and get assistance with organizing meetings. In Houston, matters are complicated in that the metropolitan area is 60 miles across in each direction and there is almost no public transporation except for limited bus service in the central area. People are reluctant to attend evening meetings when the location is far from the office and the drive home afterwards might be up to an hour long. However, the group is slowly growing and we've been able to attract some lively, engaged people.
I was therefore interested when I received, through the Meetup site, an email invitation to join a group that was forming closer to my area of Houston, labeled as a Freethinkers group. The organizer wanted to work on eliminating the 'imposition of religious doctrine on Free-thinkers in the area," that the group was not against organized religion itself, and specifically mentioned the offering of Bible-as-literature classes in the local school district. Apropos of recent discussions in SWIFT on religion, I must state that, while I am agnostic, my passion in skepticism is directed toward the paranormal, alternative medicine issues, and illiteracy in science, so the particular focus of this group did not interest me, but I thought I might join in order to meet skeptical people in my neighborhood and possibly recruit new members for my own skeptics organization.

Tunisian Spiced Squash Soup
This is a recent addition to my soup repertoire, inspired by a squash recipe in Saffron Shores (one of the few I consider a GOOD kosher cookbook). I find that roasting the squash and parsnips with the spice mixture really makes a difference when making soups like this, so try not to skip this step. I promise you won't be disappointed when you taste how rich and flavorful your soup is! Enjoy.
Tunisian Spiced Squash Soup (pareve or meat)
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 medium sized parsnips, peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp harissa
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 small onion, diced
- Olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the butternut squash length wise, and lay out on a baking sheet covered with foil.
In a small bowl, mix together spices, salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. Spread spice mixture onto squash using a brush or fingers until evenly coated. Save a little of the mixture to also coat parsnips. Add parsnips and garlic cloves to baking sheet and cook 45 minutes to 1 hour, until squash is soft.
While squash is roasting, heat olive oil in a saucepan and sauté onion until translucent.
When squash is finished roasting and has cooled around 20 minutes, scoop out squash into blender or food processor along with parsnips, sauteed onion and small amounts of stock. Puree in batches until smooth.
Put pureed squash mixture back into saucepan, and heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste.

September means it is now hockey pool draft season. When deciding who makes the ideal fantasy player, the key consideration is the stats that are used in your pool. Most pools use goals, assists, and penalty minutes for skaters. Let's look deeper at what makes a great fantasy player.
Drafting a goal-scorer means you are getting a player who creates his own offense. A playmaker will only get points if the goal-scorer puts the puck in the net. So when looking at players to draft who score about the same amount of points, always go with goal-scorers, as they control their own destiny.
Last season, only Sidney Crosby (51), Steven Stamkos (51), and Alexander Ovechkin (50) scored 50 or more goals. There were four other players who scored 40 to 49 goals and 17 players scoring 30-39 goals. Elite goal-scorers score 50 or more goals a season, while good goal scorers pot in the 30-40 range.
Power-Play Points
Only offensive players get to play on the power play. When a team has the man advantage, they don't put out their strongest defensive player. Just like on the power play, fantasy teams want the best offensive players out there.
A lot of websites just list power-play goals but you should look at power-play points because it gives you a better idea of how a player produces with the man advantage. The top five power-play point producers from last season were: Steven Stamkos (41), Brad Richards (40), Anze Kopitar (38), Nicklas Backstrom (37), and Martin St. Louis (37).
Penalty Minutes
There is a fine line when looking at PIMs, as too many penalties puts your player in the penalty box instead of on the ice and not enough penalties means you're losing out on a whole scoring category. A player like Colton Orr will get you a lot of PIMs but nothing for points, while a player like Andrew Brunette will get you 50-60 points a season, but has averaged 14 PIMs over the last three seasons.
Drafting players like Steve Downie (22 goals and 208 PIMs), Ryane Clowe (19 goals and 131 PIMs), or Alexandre Burrows (35 goals and 121 PIMs) is what you need to consider for pools that count both points and PIMs. However, it's pretty rare to find someone who produces a high number of points and PIMs. A good range is 50-100 penalty minutes a season.
There is an old saying: You can't score unless you shoot. The puck won't go in the net by itself—someone needs to shoot the puck. Offensive players like to take shots; heck, all players like to shoot the puck, but when deciding who to draft consider the guy who shoots the puck more. The top five shot producers from last year were: Ovechkin (368), Zach Parise (347), Jeff Carter (319), Henrik Zetterberg (309), and Crosby (298).
Playing Time
The final stat to look at is time on ice (TOI). Your fantasy player won't get you any points if he is stuck on the bench. Most first-line forwards will play 20 to 24 minutes a game while top-pairing defenseman will be on the ice for 26-30 minutes. Look at even-strength TOI and power-play TOI.
TOI is usually dominated by defenseman and the top three average TOI per game from last season were Joni Pitkanen (27:22), Duncan Keith (26:35), and Scott Niedermayer (26:30). Ilya Kovalchuk was the highest forward with an average TOI per game of 22:02 that was good enough for 65th overall. The top-five power-play TOI per game from last season were: Ilya Kovalchuk, Mark Streit, Sergei Gonchar, Brad Richards, and Mike Green.
Remember, the two biggest factors to look at are guys who can create their own offense and are getting enough playing time for them to have that opportunity to score.

Interstitial nephritis
Interstitial nephritis is a kidney disorder in which the spaces between the kidney tubules become swollen (inflamed). The inflammation can affect the kidneys' function, including their ability to filter waste.
Alternative Names
Tubulointerstitial nephritis; Nephritis - interstitial; Acute interstitial (allergic) nephritis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Interstitial nephritis may be temporary (acute) or it may be long-lasting ( chronic) and get worse over time.
The following can cause interstitial nephritis:
- Allergic reaction to a drug (acute interstitial allergic nephritis)
- Analgesic nephropathy
- Long-term use of medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). This is called analgesic nephropathy
- Side effect of certain antibiotics (penicillin, ampicillin, methicillin, sulfonamide medications, and others)
- Side effect of medications such as NSAIDs, furosemide, and thiazide diuretics
The acute form of interstitial nephritis is common. It is most often caused by side effects of certain drugs. This disorder may be more severe and more likely to lead to chronic or permanent kidney damage in elderly people.
Interstitial nephritis can cause mild to severe kidney problems, including acute kidney failure. In about half of cases, people will have decreased urine output and other signs of acute kidney failure.
Symptoms of this condition may include:
- Blood in the urine
- Fever
- Increased or decreased urine output
- Mental status changes (drowsiness, confusion, coma)
- Nausea, vomiting
- Rash
- Swelling of the body, any area
- Weight gain (from retaining fluid)
Signs and tests
An exam may show too much fluid under the skin or in the lungs (peripheral or pulmonary edema). The health care provider might hear abnormal sounds when listening to the heart or lungs with a stethoscope (auscultation). High blood pressure is common.
Common tests include:
- Arterial blood gases
- Blood chemistry
- BUN and blood creatinine levels
- Complete blood count
- Kidney biopsy
- Urinalysis
- Urine osmolality
Treatment focuses on the cause of the problem. Avoiding medications that lead to this condition may relieve the symptoms quickly.
Limiting salt and fluid in the diet can improve swelling and high blood pressure. Limiting protein in the diet can help control the buildup of waste products in the blood (azotemia) that can lead to symptoms of acute kidney failure.
If dialysis is necessary, it usually is required for only a short time.
Corticosteroids or anti-inflammatory medications can help in some cases.
Expectations (prognosis)
Most often, interstitial nephritis is a short-term disorder. In rare cases, it can cause permanent damage, including chronic kidney failure.
Metabolic acidosis can occur because the kidneys aren't able to remove enough acid. The disorder can lead to acute or chronic kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of interstitial nephritis.
If you have interstitial nephritis, call your health care provider if you get new symptoms, especially if you are less alert or have a decrease in urine output.

Cotton's Agenda -
By Larry McClendon
Specifically, a new calculation of the adjusted world price (AWP) will make U.S. cotton available at competitive prices in domestic and international markets. The calculation applies to outstanding loans for 2007 and subsequent crops. This ensures that cotton loans, beginning with 2007 crop loans maturing at the end of October, can be redeemed at a competitive price. This change will return up to an additional $8 per bale to producers. Any loan deficiency payments, available to producers who choose to forego the loan, will be based on the new AWP calculation.
The new law also mandates that USDA makes storage credits available whenever the AWP is below the loan. To reduce program costs, though, the new law required that the maximum storage credit be reduced by 10 percent for the 2008-11 crops. The reduced storage rate will not apply to redemptions of 2007 crop cotton. Beginning with the 2008 crop, the reductions will apply to the maximum rate established by USDA in August 2006 and not individual warehouse rates – a step that helps significantly reduce any adverse financial impact on cotton producers and warehouses. Also included in the package is an economic assistance program for U.S. mills that consumes upland cotton. In addition, the rule extends the ELS cotton competitiveness program.
What other provisions will be implemented?
The USDA continues to develop rules and regulations related to the permanent disaster program (SURE), the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program, and, importantly – changes to payment limits and program eligibility. It is important to note that payment limitations and eligibility rules for 2008 crops are unchanged from 2007. The three-entity rule remains in effect as does the $75,000 per person limitation on total, cumulative loan deficiency payments (LDPs) and marketing loan gains (MLGs). This limit is cumulative for all loan-eligible commodities, except peanuts, which have a separate limit. The $40,000 per person limit on direct payments and the $65,000 per person limit on counter-cyclical payments also are in effect for 2008. The limits on direct and counter-cyclical payments also are cumulative for all crops except peanuts.
Because sizable marketing loan gains are possible, producers should consider the possibility of meeting their $75,000 per person limit on LDPs and MLGs because that can influence the way the 2008 crop is marketed. Assuming beneficial interest is maintained, a producer may put the remaining portion of the crop(s) under loan and redeem with certificates if the $75,000 limit is reached on LDPs. The marketing loan gain resulting from redemption of a loan commodity using commodity certificates does not count against a producer's $75,000 limit on LDPs and MLGs. Producers are urged to consider their available options, understand the impact of the payment limit and consult with their Farm Service Agency office regarding their loan or LDP eligibility.

When middle-aged women go on the prowl for younger men for easy sex. A frequent activity undertaken by urban cougars.
Denise, a recent divorcee, had only one weekend a month when her ex would take the kids; on those rare occasions, she frequently got slutted up to go tadpoling at the local college pubs and bars.
от KennNnNnZ 26 май 2007
Leaving one's seminal discharge on the clothing or body of another, particularly in public. The tadpole image is conjured by the swimming sperm cells.
These guys on Boston's Red Line were jacking off in crowded morning rush-hour trains and tadpoling all the women in their business clothes.

(FOX/CNS) -A Los Angeles judge today rejected a bid by the grown children of Casey Kasem to establish a conservatorship over the 81-year-old radio legend, ruling there was no clear and convincing evidence the iconic deejay's health was at risk.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lesley Green, however, asked attorneys for both sides to work out an agreement before Dec. 20 for Kasem's children to visit their father.
Kasem has advanced Parkinson's disease, and the feud between his second wife, Jean, to whom he has been married since 1980, and his three children from his first marriage has escalated into demonstrations in front of the Kasem home, where they have claimed their stepmother has been preventing them from visiting their father.
According to court papers filed Oct. 7 by his daughter Julie, a physician's assistant, and her husband Dr. Jamil Aboulhosn, a UCLA Medical School associate professor, Kasem "has been isolated from his daughters, friends and other family by Mrs. Kasem."
The siblings sent an email to their stepmother on Oct. 3, seeking information about the doctor caring for their father, but she failed to respond, the petitioners allege.
On Monday, however, Jean Kasem filed court papers attacking the motives of her husband's offspring.
"These children single-handedly and irreparably shattered the lives of their father, his wife and youngest daughter, the calm of their home and their neighborhood by engaging in uncalled for public demonstrations and personal attacks in the media," Jean Kasem's new court papers state. "They are doing so with a professionally orchestrated media and legal campaign that has disgraced their father and vilified their stepmother ..."
According to Jean Kasem's court papers, no conservatorship is needed for her husband. He is under the ongoing care of his primary doctor, and his wife has arranged 24-hour care for him, her court papers state.
"These children falsely claim that their stepmother is wicked and is keeping her husband prisoner in his home behind closed doors and that they no longer have access to him through no fault of their own," according to Jean Kasem's court papers. "They ask this court to grant them access to Jean and
Casey's home even though they do not (nor) have never lived there. For reasons they know all too well, their presence at this state would be toxic and extremely distressing for Casey, Jean and their daughter, Liberty, who have had enough of their cruelty."

Profile tabs cluttered- Can I remove them but keep their settings?
I am using latest version of buddypress and wordpress. I have installed event, media, and forums plugins for my users, but I now have TEN tabs at the tob of my profile page. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the link to my profile page- My profile (not sure if it shows up as link). Anyway, once you've seen all those tabs, you can see what a mess they make. Is there a way I could remove one or two tabs from the top of the PROFILE page, but keep their settings so users can access them somewhere else on the site?

Music video dancer Kenny Wormald and Dancing With The Stars winner Julianne Hough step up for this remake of the 1984 crowd-pleaser. Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer says he "injects Southern grit" into his retelling of the story of an upbeat Boston teen who moves to a small town where, thanks to an uptight clergyman (Dennis Quaid), dancing and rock music have been banned. And he does. It's that rare thing - a sequel that actually improves on the original thanks to some sharp writing and even sharper dance moves.Read Review

audio postcard from snowy night in october: was playing 'blue in green' on the piano & after awhile it turned into this groove. decided to record it to capture the left hand pattern, which i will inevitably forget. family dog barked right on cue (which reminded me of one of george booth's cartoons). combined piano recording with a sample of white noise from the jealous heart synthesizer (for an off-kilter hi-hat) & ran both through some digital effects. blue in noise…

this week in the sound course i'm teaching, we're reading articles on mobile listening by michael bull and jean-paul thibaud. thibaud develops the concept of "sonic door": "The door of the house may also function as a sonic door. On one hand, the door serves as a transition between two places of distinct status; on the other hand, as an intermediary between two kinds of listening experience" (2003, 332). these two modes of listening experiences have to do with social and architectural contours of indoor spaces versus comparatively expansive outdoor environments. here are two 45-second excerpts of recordings i made in august of nighttime insects. both record the transition as i walk through doors from inside to outside. the first is in a wooded area of upstate NY; i walk through two doors (front and porch) before arriving outside. the second is near DC. among the sonic details i enjoy are little bursts of wind when i open each door (in the first example), and children inside contrasted with cicadas outside (in the second). technical note: there is a lot of handling noise; admittedly, i didn't plan to keep these transitional segments.

i passed by this patch of green, with yellow flowers and red berries, in my neighborhood last sunday morning. it was buzzing with these sounds of crickets or cicadas. (i'm never sure who is sounding what, but here is a guide.) i had just watched this documentary on evelyn glennie, also featuring fred frith, and was thinking about something she said: that for everything we see, we associate a particular sound and imagine that sound even when we cannot hear it. in looking at this buzzing field, i wondered if that hypothesis tests out. in a sense, it does; here, one expects a field to buzz with insects in a particular way this time of year. yet, when i strained to see the sounding insects, or any movements associated with them, i couldn't see them at all. this made me wonder whether r. murray schafer's concept of schizophonia could be twisted to apply here—where sounds seem separated from their source not as an effect of human technological intervention, but as a strategy of communicating insects whose bodies remain concealed. schizophonia as an effect of insects' technological interventions, if one considers their appendages as musical tools… glennie insightfully suggests that "the opposite of sound" is not silence but, rather, something akin to stillness or death. this helps to explain the aberrational effect of hearing the lively insects and sensing their rapid movements, but seeing a relatively still field of green.

Revelations on NYPD Surveillance of Muslims Contradict Bloomberg Claims
New York, NY, United States (ProPublica) – by Justin Elliott
The Associated Press published a story today detailing how, in 2007, undercover New York Police Department officers investigated the Muslim community in Newark, N.J., producing a secret report profiling mosques, Islamic schools and Muslim-owned businesses and restaurants.
The story, based on a copy of the 60-page report obtained by AP, concludes that the surveillance project was undertaken despite "no evidence of terrorism or criminal behavior. It was a guide to Newark's Muslims."
Besides being significant on its own, that conclusion contradicts claims by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg last year about how the NYPD operates.
In August, after AP published the first story in its series documenting the NYPD's extensive surveillance and investigation of Muslims, Bloomberg denied that the NYPD launched investigations based on religion in the absence of suspicion of a crime.
"If there are threats or leads to follow, then the NYPD's job is to do it. The law is pretty clear about what's the requirement, and I think they follow the law," Bloomberg said at an Aug. 25 news conference, the local news site DNAInfo noted at the time. "We don't stop to think about the religion. We stop to think about the threats and focus our efforts there."
In October, New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly made similar comments under questioning from the city council.
"We simply follow leads," Kelly said. "Now, those leads may take us into religious institutions; it may be people in a particular religion. But we're going to follow those leads wherever they take us. We're not going to be deterred, but we're certainly not singling out any particular group."
AP's previous stories showed the NYPD scrutinized Muslim communities in part based on ethnicity. Today's story, as well as others earlier this month, showed the NYPD focusing solely on religion.
The secret dossier on Newark published by AP shows the NYPD both thinking about religion and singling out a particular group in the apparent absence of any leads.
The report mapped so-called Locations of Concern in Newark, which were defined to include "Localized center of activity for a particular ethnic group." The only ethnic groups that are highlighted in the report are those that include Muslims. The report noted that the city's "largest immigrant communities … are from Portugal and Brazil" but that "No Muslim component within these communities was identified."
Bloomberg's press office did not respond to our request for comment about the mayor's August remarks and the new AP report. The NYPD also did not respond to our request for comment; nor did it comment on the AP's story.
The report includes multiple maps marking mosques and Islamic schools in Newark like this one:

Artisan Bistro is a modern and inviting dining room dressed in rich dark and light woods with elegant European design elements. Accents of black, off-white, cognac, blues and warm grays echo a classic bistro look and feel. Crafted wood wainscoting throughout the room and soft ambient lighting from above highlight the white-washed, wood floors to further enhance the bistro-like setting. New stitched-leather booth seating lines the dramatic floor to ceiling wall of windows overlooking Avery Street and two high-top u-shaped booths frame the space on either end. Additional cluster seating is intimate and close, allowing for easy conversation and lively exchange. Artisan Bistro features fresh, local seasonal dishes that present artisanal cooking in an approachable way. The restaurant's bar is lively but casual with specialty cocktails, local microbrews, an extensive wine list and signature brunch Bloody Mary menu.Continued

- Something was off.ShakenVIPDined on 9/28/2014The 45 min wait for eggs benedict and a bacon egg cheese and avocado sandwich was ridiculous. Numerous apologies from the waiter and management but the food was still mediocre at best. We weren't in a rush like the other patrons trying to get to various shows that day but a real explanation would've been nice. the overall time was approximately 1 hour 10 mins to get our brunch items. Although we ordered the assorted muffin tops with strussel we were given two regular muffins that looked like they came from Entemann's or some other pre-packaged place and we were told that the regular menu items were not available now. They did take several items off of the bill though.
- Exceptional!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/28/2014There really is a difference between a fried egg and a fried duck egg cooked PERFECTLY! Our breakfast was outstanding. My son raved about the Nutella crepes and the eggs Benedict was "the best ever" according to my husband and daughter. Beautiful space and friendly service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding pre-theater mealKimMDined on 9/23/2014Went here on a Tuesday before heading to the Opera House. Spectacular from start to finish. We made reservations, but pretty much had the place to ourselves. Started with grilled oysters, served over tiny burning wood chips in a small cast iron pan. We wished we had two orders...or three, or four, or five. They were THAT good. But we wanted to save room for dinner and dessert, so we didn't ask for more. We had a glass of red sangria and it was probably the best sangria either of us have ever tasted, and also a pineapple margarita, which was quite tasty as well. Generous pours in both drinks. For dinner we both had rare filet mignon. Spectacular. Cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth. Dessert was a torte and creme brulee. Very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly kid friendlyAmy86Dined on 9/21/2014I took my 5 year old daughter to Artisan Bistro before seeing the Lion King. I asked for a nice table in the comments of my reservation and we receive a lovely half circle booth (ask for this table if you are a party of 2 - it's the best table and the only one). Service was very nice except that our server didn't come over to greet us or take our order for 10+ minutes after we were seated (we did receive bread and water). I think another server finally come by to take our order because she saw we were waiting, and correctly guessed we had theater tickets. I had scallops which were good and 5yo had mac n cheese (very good). Kids menu and crayons, and covered drinks - all perfect. Prices were higher than I expected but it is in the Ritz.Special Features:
- LoRickDined on 9/21/2014Very nice meal, well presented and tasty. Took a little longer than expected to arrive and order was missing one item. Overall a nice experience.Special Features:
- Poor serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/14/2014At a recent pre-theater brunch, we waited 25 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. The manager tried to appease us by offering us drinks while we waited but even these took 15 minutes to arrive. We were not offered water at the table and we had to ask 3 times for juice for our kids. Even though the staff knew we were rushing to make our show, we waited 5 extra minutes for the check.
- Great ExperianceBellasunDined on 9/10/2014We had dinner before going to a show at the Opera House. Our waiter, Greg, was amazing! He was beyond nice and extremely accommodating. The maitre'd was fanatstic as well! Everyone made sure we were comfortable and enjoying our experience. The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Lovely EveningJoyceDined on 9/6/2014My husband and I had dinner there on a Saturday evening, earlier than most people eat, so it wasn't crowded. By the time we left, it had filled up and the noise levels were still acceptable. The food was perfect. Everything prepared properly, beautifully presented and delicious. Slight snafu with the use of a gift card, but the staff was very pleasant and accommodating. We would eat there again any time.Special Features:
- Artisan bistroOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014Went here for dinner early before a concert service was prompt for the most part and nice ambience. The lobster tacos were a delicious appetizer and the grilled swordfish entree was excellent .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AverageOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/25/2014Average and overpriced for what was served. Food was lacking in flavors outside of the ordinary.
- Excellent Restuarant. Great ServiceBostonEatsDined on 7/14/2014I attended the restaurant with a few friends after making the reservation on Open Table and the table was ready when I arrived. All of the staff were extremely pleasant and attentive. The menu was great, would definitely come back to try one of their specials. Good selection of drinks and classic cocktails. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Not so RitzyjackVIPDined on 7/6/2014Waiting a half hour for a server to approach a table is unacceptable, even after asking the manager.His excuse is that they were too busy all at once. That's not a diner's problem. Also note that this is a Ritz property and the labeled jar of marmalade was of inferior quality as the first ingredient was corn fructose syrup. Should not one expect for the price at a Ritz better quality?
- Ask for Eugene!boathouseVIPDined on 7/5/2014If you want to be pampered or just feel extra special -- ask for Eugene. He is a legend at the Ritz and takes a visit at the Artisan Bistro from special to Extra Special. Great place for pre-theater. Menu is seasonal and always a treat.Special Features:
- pre-theatre mealsandyVIPDined on 6/28/2014We ate here on Saturday night before attending the theatre. The service was quit and we were able to have a relaxing meal and get to the performance on time. We had the Seafood Tower and Lobster Tacos for an appetizer. Everything was very fresh and tasty. I had the swordfish for an entree. It was rather mushy, quite different from any swordfish that I have ever had before. My husband had the filet and found it to be satisfactory. Overall, it was a bit disappointing for a Ritz-Carlton restaurant.
- The following 236 reviews are from the Artisan Bistro reviews archive.
- LovelyCkt17Dined on 6/1/2014My daughter and I went here late afternoon at the ballet. Restaurant was still on lunch menu. Good choices, very amenable and attentive waitress, Sandra, who gets high marks from both of us. Made good suggestions, helpful without being smothering. We both enjoyed the experience.Special Features:
- DisappointingMoxieDined on 5/22/2014Service was a disappointment. Waiter seemed charming and eager to serve when we first arrived. But the overall service turned out to be quite lacking for what I would consider "Ritz" standards. Menu was fine and reasonably priced but with limited choices. My water glass was never refilled until I managed to flag down our waiter. Once the entrees were served, the waiter seemed to be MIA from the dining room. I did not see him approach other tables either. Food was adequate for a typical hotel restaurant but nothing special. Expected more from this hotel. Restaurant is convenient if you are heading to the Opera House with its on-site valet parking. That would be my only reason to return or recommend it to anyone.
- Terrible service every timeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/18/2014Forgot menus, waited 20 mins for drinks, forgot our salad dressing, My daughters bagel and then her cream cheese. Length of time to get missing items was 15 mins at least. Very difficult to get servers attention. Likely the worst service I have ever had.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/11/2014I went in for brunch last weekend with four other guests, and we had a wonderful experience. We all loved the set up of the Bloody Mary Bar and enjoyed creating our own drinks. The service was great! Our food was served in a timely manner. We were impressed with the food presentations and we were all pleased with our meal. Overall, the Artisan Bistro did an amazing job and we will be going back very soon!Special Features:
- Nice brunch with great serviceselinawDined on 5/11/2014This place is located on a quiet street off the Boston Common. Easily accessible by the T. I have had Sunday brunch here many times with family and friends. We like the menu that offers lobsters, duck, beef as well as pancakes, waffles, etc. Wait staff is attentive. Price is reasonable.Special Features:
- Poor ServiceFeliciaDined on 5/9/2014Twice recently I have eaten here and been disappointed in the service. When I arrived, I asked the Hostess is being so close to the theaters helped business. She said absolutely. That on theatre/ballet nights they were always full, versus other nights very few patrons. So the establishment knows it needs to be on the ball the night of shows/ballets. Both of my visits ha verrrrrrrry slow service. waited at least 15 minute for the waiter/tress to come say hello. Delivery of the food timing was off. I ordered two meals last night; a salad and main course for each of us. Within 5 minutes, literally, of the salads arriving, the entrees arrived. We had only had 1-2 bites of our salads so we have all courses on the table, crammed in.
- Not putting on the Ritz.Luv2eatDined on 5/9/2014We went for dinner before the evening show at the colonial. Limited menu and the waiter talked us out of what we first wanted because 2.5 hours were not enough for the "experience". Grilled oysters were good. The flat bread pizza's were delicious. We had the salami with provolone and the mushroom with onion and fig. The Papadelle looked great but was flavorless and sitting in a pool of oil. The scallops were just ok. The drinks were interesting and tasty. We went back to the Ritz lounge right off the restaurant for a nightcap and that was a great experience. Would only go back to Artisa Bristol if we wanted something light.Special Features:
- A Good ChoiceBalletBoundDined on 5/8/2014We had dinner at the Artisan Bistro before attending the ballet at the Opera House. The food was wonderful and was beautifully presented. I have been here twice before for brunch and for dinner and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Great food.OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/26/2014Food was great. Service was inconsistent. A little slow out of the gate, and then he brought the dessert out while we were still eating the entrees. And it was ice cream, so it needed to be eaten right away. Disappointing for a nice restaurant.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/26/2014Too loud, too slow, mediocre Bloody Marys (came after food was served) and an ingratiating Maitre D…the Ritz?
- Great for Dinner Before the TheatreJayRVIPDined on 4/18/2014A gem in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton, the food, energy & ambiance, and service were all amazing. We ordered the three course tasting menu, but because we were running late, could not get the dessert course in before curtain (this restaurant is conveniently located one block from the Boston Opera House). What did they do? Told us to come back after the show! Which, we did. And, not only was it a really nice touch, but a great way to finish the evening. Also, our waiter, Eugene, was amazing. We are definitely coming back, show or not!Special Features:
- A Good FindCelesteDined on 4/18/2014Had never been here before and will return. Food was terrific and a good wine selection. Wait staff disappeared a bit too often despite us saying that we had to get to theatre. Otherwise, staff was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Theatre & DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/13/2014Great spot if your going to the Opera house.....Park, Dine, and walk to the show! Food was great with lots of nice apps and specialty cocktails!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedTownandcountryDined on 4/13/2014Service was horrible- 100 for 3 and poor at every level Special occasion and had some expectations since it's at Ritz
- Nice meal before the theatermmmBaconDined on 4/12/2014My wife and I dined here prior to a show - the meal was not rushed, the service was great - and the food was really good. I am already planning to return then next time we are in the neighborhood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, a tad noisyMCBosVIPDined on 4/12/2014Ate here before a recent show at the opera house. Excellent food, scallops were a particular stand-out, and the burger was also quite good. Service was attentive, and professional. The only slight downside was that the space is very noisy if full or verging on full. Not a place for a quiet conversation, but excellent pre-theater meal site, and very enjoyable food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ritz bitsDianaDined on 4/12/2014The atmosphere was nice, everyone was friendly. We chose this restaurant because we were going to see a show nearby afterwards. Had a 6:00pm reservation, got there at 6:09pm. The waiter didn't come to take our order before 6:30pm and we only got our appetizers at 7:00pm. We complained about the slow service to the management. After all, this is a Ritz restaurant! I ordered the Hake fish. Was very good. My friend ordered the steak tips, but they arrived cool. The staff were aware that we had a show to catch, but we barely got out of there by 7:50pm. Would have liked to have had time to use the restroom before the show. Expensive and does not live up to Ritz standards. Did not charge us for our appetizers, which was appreciated.
- Excellent food, relaxed serviceTheaterGoerDined on 4/12/2014My group of 8 friends all had an excellent meal at Artisan Bistro. The food itself was outstanding: tasty, creative and beautifully presented. The prices were very high (a given considering it's Ritz location). We had very attentive service from everyone; however, the food itself was slow coming from the kitchen. So slow, that despite a 5:30 reservation, we arrived to our 8:00 show at the Opera House with barely moments to spare (yes, our server did know about our show plans). We may return again for a special occasion, as long as we don't have a deadline.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pre theater dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/11/2014Terrific restaurant with great food ambience and service. Great pre-theater spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, but not worth the costJPEvansDined on 4/10/2014We went to Artisan Bistro before a show at the Opera House. Both the food and the server were very good, although the meals were pricey. The dining room is not welcoming and rather noisy, and the clueless hostess sat us right next to a family with a toddler even though there were at least two other tables open, one of which remained unused for the entire time we were there. With so many other options in the Theater district, I doubt we will go back.Special Features:
- Boston Theater GemGregDined on 4/9/2014The location of this restaurant is perfect for those attending a show in the Boston Theater district. The food is very good and the service excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Artisan BistroOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/6/2014Perfect for our dining prior to heading to the Opera House. Service was very good, our food delicious....what else could anyone want....By the way great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service problemscurlytopDined on 4/6/2014This has happened to me twice. I have booked an early brunch in order to have a leisurely meal before a show. The service is extremely slow and it creates anxiety when you have a time constraint. I spoke to the maitre de and was told that they are aware of this problem and are trying to resolve it. When they get busy,they can't seem to stay on top of the orders. I don't know that I would go back until the problem is fixed. I don't know if they have the same problems in the evenings. I would imagine they do if this is a matter of numbers.Special Features:
- Ritz level food but not serviceSirenia37Dined on 4/6/2014We picked this restaurant because of the location to the Opera House, and with the assumption that it was the Ritz, that the food and service would be impeccable. The food was amazing; clever (lobster tacos- mini), breakfast flatbreat, crabcakes benedict. It all was amazing. The service? Not so much. We sat for a good 10 minutes and had to ask a server for service, as we were on a time frame for a show. (We allowed plenty of time). We got water for that request. There were plenty of servers, there just didn't seem like they were organized. The restaurant was not slammed either, which might have caused delays. Again, once we got the food, it was great. Overall, great back of the house, not so much for the front.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect pre-theatre dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 4/5/2014Nice food, just steps away from many theaters, and one of the best service experiences we've had. Warm, engaging, unobtrusive, and tuned into our timing needs to get to a play. We didn't have time for dessert (due to our own timing) - and we actually got a call for the manager the next day asking if he could make it up to us. They had been spot on on timing - no reason for apologies, and he called anyway. I didn't think touches like that happened any more. Nice addition to a very lovely evening.
- I thoroughly enjoyed our deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/5/2014I thoroughly enjoyed our delicious brunch in a quiet, relaxing, and bright setting. We did not feel rushed at all. The service was superb-attentive, friendly, and well paced. The atmosphere was casual, yet elegant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Think you've heard it all from the world's most revolutionary axeman? You're not totally experienced yet. On March 5, a previously-unreleased collection of Jimi Hendrix songs will finally see the light more than 40 years after they were initially put to tape. The album, People, Hell and Angels, will contain songs originally intended for First Rays of the New Rising Sun, the unfinished double album that Hendrix was working on just before his death in 1970. Supposedly, the lost tracks will feature Hendrix dabbling in horns, percussion, and keyboards, expanding his already adventurous style into new sonic territory. In the meantime, fans can check out limited-time screenings of the guitarist's legendary set at Woodstock in celebration of the 70th anniversary of his birth.

A review by Abraham et al. addressed major topics in the epidemiology of prostate cancer (114). Blacks in the USA have the highest mortality rates in the world for this cancer. They are followed by whites in Norway, Switzerland, and Sweden. The lowest mortality rates occur among Asians in Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong. However, the incidence of prostate cancer has been rising in Japan, where major dietary changes have occurred in the last 30 y. Further, the incidence of the disease is positively correlated with that of other diet-related cancers and is much higher in Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. Studies on the relationships between prostate cancer and intake of fats and vitamin A and carotenoids are summarized in text and tables. Although evidence for an adverse effect is supported by limited animal data. For effects of β-carotene, other carotenoids, or fruits and vegetables, the data are equivocal. A protective effect of carotenoids is seen principally in the context of a low – fat diet; it is also possible the some fruits contain risk-enhancing factors. Reports of a link between cadmium and cancer risk pertain mostly to occupational exposure. In sufficient data are available on other dietary components.
Rates of prostate cancer are very low in third World countries in populations that maintain a traditional lifestyle, but they rise in urban populations where lifestyles are in transition (115). Information on risk factors for these populations is meager; neither smoking nor alcohol consumption seems to be involved. A case-control study among blacks in Soweto, South Africa, found that high consumption of fat, meat, or eggs increased risk, were as high consumption of fruits or vegetables was protective. Specific foods that afforded protection were carrots, cabbage, and spinach; dietary fiber was also protective. Employment in an occupation that permitted ready access to a Western diet increased risk. No associations were seen for anthropometry, education, social class, smoking, and drinking.
A case-control study in northern Italy identified high milk consumption as a significant risk factor for prostate cancer (116). This agrees with most previous reports. Surprisingly, however, no consistent associations were found for cheese or butter intake, other sources of animal fat, of total fat.

El Paso, TX — In the completion of the suspended game from July 15, it was all El Paso as they rolled to a 19-2 win over Amarillo. The Diablos scored in every inning except the first and ninth while plating eight big runs in the eighth. El Paso DH Anthony D'Alfonso and CF Gabe Suarez had four hits apiece and combined to score five runs. Diablos SS Maikol Gonzalez went 3-for-6 on the night with two runs scored and six runs driven in. The offensive support was more than enough for El Paso starting pitcher Reyes Dorado as he notched his second win of the season. Dorado allowed two runs, one earned, on 10 hits in seven innings pitched.

Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 5:13am
I am relatively new to silverstripe, I am hoping someone can quickly help me with an issue I am having which is hindering my workflow, as I am on very tight deadline. I was tasked to replicate an existing silverstripe site for a client to two other separate domains. Which I did, everything was well and great till one of the designers started making changes to the 'textual' content of the site. Turns out that everytime he makes content changes it's being replicated to all the other sites too. However if you make any aesthetic changes, that does have any effect. Can someone please help me? Is there something I am missing, I've wrecked my head trying to figure this out since morning to no avail.
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 5:39am
Hi airgrace,
Can you please provide some more information on this please... I don't follow the differenct between textual and content changes...
Please describe the problem in a fashion that can be understood in terms like...
i Have site x,y and z on different domains with seperate silverstirpe installations.
i open page xxx on site x and change content html in main.content OR i edit file xxx in themes/mytheme/template/page.ss
something more along those lines and it might be easier to help you
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 5:50am
Hi Swaiba,
Thanks for the prompt response. Alright, I'll try to explain it more easily. So essentially this is the original site (http://gomunro.com/).
These are the replicated:
What I had done was simply create a backup of the original site via Cpanel, and then jumped to the new domain sites, and simply restored them. Please excuse lack of knowledge on Silverstripe I am still trying to get to grips with it. However, I would presume that once you duplicate a site to another domain, it is a completely different entity, so any changes you make to it should not be replicated elsewhere.
What I meant by 'textual content' is where you actually just add text.
What was happening was that the designer was just changing text in the electronics site, and noticed that it was replicating it in the actually GoMunro site. Which is unnatural.
I hope that this is helpful, I am not even sure how to proceed with solving this :S.
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 5:53am
if you have a cPanel backup that would include things like mysite/_config.php that generally includes a database details. Can you confirm that each of the seperate sites has it's own database details in each _config.php?
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 5:57am
I do, I just opened up the file you just mentioned. Unfortunately it doesn't really contain any sort of database information.
global $project;
$project = 'mysite';
global $database;
$database = 'ss';
// This will allow us to add our own fields and tabs to the SiteConfig
DataObject::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'SiteConfigOverride');
// This line set's the current theme. More themes can be
// downloaded from http://www.silverstripe.org/themes/
// enable nested URLs for this site (e.g. page/sub-page/)
// This will remove the sapphire's built-in js form validation
// so we can use jquery.validate instead
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 6:04am
I even checked the _ss_environment.php file, the information in the individual files is different and disjoint from each other. Is there something I am missing? I can't quite comprehend how it each replicated site could be accessing information from each other?
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 6:09am
It depends on "how" you duplicate the site - if you leave a connectionstring to the old db, not the new one then the "files" are duplicated but it will point to an old databse. Also if you have taken the ".htaccess" file then this could do even more... it could point each domain to the "old" files and not even look at the duplicated files.
It does sound like they are sharing the same database, or even the htaccess.
Can you check that all the htaccess contains unique "RewriteBase /foldername"
Re: Critical Help!
25 October 2011 at 6:11am
Could you tell me which .htaccess file I should be looking at? Apparently when I browse through the hierarchy I see quite a few.
