Seven more days 'til Christmas. Do you have a Christmas tree?
I couldn't believe it, but some folks don't.
When I was younger, the tree went up somewhere between the day after Thanksgiving and the first week of December and it came down right after the New Year.
But apparently that is a modern practice. Historically, Christmas trees were put up 12 days before Christmas or on Christmas Eve — which turns out to be perfect for bargain hunters looking for the best deals.
Russ Jordan, owner of Wee Three Trees in Fayetteville says they do about one-third of their usual volume in the week leading up to Christmas. Customers include families who didn't expect kids to come home for the holiday and need a last minute tree, customers who set up their tree on Christmas Eve and yes, bargain hunters.
Right now, you can find some pretty good discounts on live and artificial trees.
Discounts on artificial trees are creeping up to 50 percent while pre-cut live trees come with slightly lower discounts.
Wee Three Trees is offering 30 percent off all Frasier Firs putting them at about $7 a foot. Fraser's tend to be very popular, says Jordan, but other trees including Carolina Sapphire, Leyland and Blue Ice Cypress are very fragrant, keep well and can be had for $6 per foot.
Here are some of Jordan's tips to squeeze last minute savings out of your Christmas tree purchase:

When do you put up your Christmas tree? Would you put off getting a live tree if you could save money?

At first I thought this was about those Live Trees that are now making the rounds. Trees Atlanta is selling them where you basically rent a live tree, very ecofriendly.

Years ago we bought a pre-lit 4ft tree from Walgreens for $20 then racked up on ornaments from discount stores like Dollar General. We thought this would be our starter tree since we were in a small 2 bedroom apt. Fast forward six years…. we're in a 3000+ sq ft home, two small children and each year with put up that same tree with the same ornaments. I see this happening for the rest of our lives.

When I was in Korean a couple years ago, I had this reeeeally spice chicken dish, which apparently has been rising in popularity the past several years in Korean. Its basically small chunks of chicken in a very spicy sauce, served on a skillet. I think its called buldak, as this sounds about right for what it tasted like. I would love to get a good recipe for this. Thanks you.

Americans Felt Betrayed by the Shutdown
Essential Reads
Could Americans really get any angrier at Washington? Even before the recent government shutdown, congressional approval hovered around 10 percent, a minority thought the country was on the right track, and a "throw the bums out" mentality was rampant. Railing against the toxic mess in D.C. has been a winning strategy for politicians from Barack Obama on down for years now.

On The Radar
Iowa GOP Rep. Steve King is frustrated. A day after the conservative lawmaker opted against endorsing any of the Republican Party's presidential contenders competing in tonight's caucuses, he vented further about the party's leadership in Congress. King expressed "real clear frustration" with the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, for two offenses in 2011: ruling out the possibility of a government shutdown during the budget debate in the spring, and ruling out a U.S. default during the debt ceiling debate in the summer.

Reviews of Explosion at Orly
"A century after the Civil War, Atlanta suffered another terrible blow. AS before, the city rose from the ashes of disaster. Ann Abrams' new book tells the story of the 1962 Orly crash, a cataclysmic event that became a 'ground zero' for Atlanta's cultural rebirth." Michael Shapiro, Director, High Museum of Art
"I bought a copy of your book in the Symphony Shop last Thursday evening before the ASO concert. I began reading it during the second half of the concert and couldn't put it down until I finished reading on Friday afternoon (except to drive home, of course). It is so meticulously researched and so beautifully written, and, even after fifty years, parts of it are so hard to read for someone who vividly remembers the reported events of June 3, 1962." Peter Stelling

city in the western African country of Mali, historically important as a trading post on the trans-Saharan caravan route and as a centre of Islamic culture (c. 14001600). It is located on the southern edge of the Sahara, about 8 miles (13 km) north of the Niger River. The city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1988. In 2012, in response to armed conflict in the region, Timbuktu was added to the UNESCO List of World Heritage in Danger.
Timbuktu was founded about 1100 CE as a seasonal camp by Tuareg nomads. There are several stories concerning the derivation of the city's name. According to one tradition, Timbuktu was named for an old woman left to oversee the camp while the Tuareg roamed the Sahara. Her name (variously given as Tomboutou, Timbuktu, or Buctoo) meant mother with a large navel, possibly describing an umbilical hernia or other such physical malady. Timbuktu's location at the meeting point of desert and water made it an ideal trading centre. In the late 13th or early 14th century it was incorporated into the Mali empire.
By the 14th century it was a flourishing centre for the trans-Saharan gold and salt trade, and it grew as a centre of Islamic culture. Three of western Africa's oldest mosquesDjinguereber (Djingareyber), Sankore, and Sidi Yahiawere built there during the 14th and early 15th centuries. After an extravagant pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, the Mali emperor Mansa Musa built the Great Mosque (Djinguereber) and a royal residence, the Madugu (the former has since been rebuilt many times, and of the latter no trace remains). The Granada architect Abu Ishaq al-Sahili was then commissioned to design the Sankore mosque, around which Sankore University was established. The mosque still stands today, probably because of al-Sahili's directive to incorporate a wooden framework into the mud walls of the building, thus facilitating annual repairs after the rainy season. The Tuareg regained control of the city in 1433, but they ruled from the desert. Although the Tuareg exacted sizable tributes and plundered periodically, trade and learning continued to flourish in Timbuktu. By 1450 its population increased to about 100,000. The city's scholars, many of whom had studied in Mecca or in Egypt, numbered some 25,000.
In 1468 the city was conquered by the Songhai ruler Sonni 'Ali. He was generally ill-disposed toward the city's Muslim scholars, but his successorthe first ruler of the new Askia dynasty, Muhammad I Askia of Songhai (reigned 14931528)used the scholarly elite as legal and moral counselors. During the Askia period (14931591) Timbuktu was at the height of its commercial and intellectual development. Merchants from Ghudamis (Ghadames; now in Libya), Augila (now Awjidah, Libya), and numerous other cities of North Africa gathered there to buy gold and slaves in exchange for the Saharan salt of Taghaza and for North African cloth and horses.
After it was captured by Morocco in 1591, the city declined. Its scholars were ordered arrested in 1593 on suspicion of disaffection; some were killed during a resulting struggle, while others were exiled to Morocco. Perhaps worse still, the small Moroccan garrisons placed in command of the city offered inadequate protection, and Timbuktu was repeatedly attacked and conquered by the Bambara, Fulani, and Tuareg.
European explorers reached Timbuktu in the early 19th century. The ill-fated Scottish explorer Gordon Laing was the first to arrive (1826), followed by the French explorer René-Auguste Caillié in 1828. Caillié, who had studied Islam and learned Arabic, reached Timbuktu disguised as an Arab. After two weeks he departed, becoming the first explorer to return to Europe with firsthand knowledge of the city (rumours of Timbuktu's wealth had reached Europe centuries before, owing to tales of Musa's 11th-century caravan to Mecca). In 1853 the German geographer Heinrich Barth reached the city during a five-year trek across Africa. He, too, survived the journey, later publishing a chronicle of his travels.
Timbuktu was captured by the French in 1894. They partly restored the city from the desolate condition in which they found it, but no connecting railway or hard-surfaced road was built. In 1960 it became part of the newly independent Republic of Mali.
Timbuktu is now an administrative centre of Mali. In the late 1990s, restoration efforts were undertaken to preserve the city's three great mosques, which were threatened by sand encroachment and by general decay. An even greater threat came in 2012 when Tuareg rebels, backed by Islamic militants, took control of the northern part of the country. The Tuaregs claimed the territory, which included Timbuktu, as the independent state of Azawad. However, the Tuareg rebels were soon supplanted by the Islamic militants, who then imposed their strict version of Shari'ah (Islamic law) on the inhabitants. The Islamic militantsin particular, one group known as Ansar Dinedeemed many of Timbuktu's historic religious monuments and artifacts to be idolatrous; to that end, they damaged or destroyed many of them, including tombs of Islamic saints housed at the Djinguereber and Sidi Yahia mosques. Pop. (2009) 54,453.

World Wetlands Day 2000 - Turkey
Celebration of World Wetlands Day in Turkey
The Minister of the Environment (Fevzi Aytekin) and the Governor of Icel Province in Turkey (Senol Engin) invited about 150 officials and agents of the Ministry of Environment (of the General Directorate of Environmental Protection, the Ramsar authority), the Authority of Protected Special Areas, the Ministry of Forests (National Parks and Protected Areas), the Ministry of Energy and Resources (DSI, the State Hydraulic Works) and their regional offices to participate in a two-day celebration of Turkish wetlands. Professor Erden Oney, the director of the Turkish Society for the Protection of Nature (DHKD) opened the celebration which took place in the small village of Yesilovacik at the Mediterranean coast close to the Göksu Delta Ramsar Site and Protected Special Area on 2 and 3 February 2000 with the additional presence of about 150 local people.
Besides of the short allocations of the representatives of the above-mentioned ministries and authorities, including the Ramsar Bureau, the first day included a panel discussion on "The Ramsar Convention approach to wetland management planning". Under the guidance of Melih Akalin, the Deputy Undersecretary of the Ministry of the Environment, the General Director of Environmental Protection (Ms Serap Kuleli), the General Director of National Parks and Game & Wildlife (Husrev Ozkara), the DSI Deputy Regional Director of Adana (Hasan Mert), Asst. Prof. Can Bilgin of the Middle East Technical University, and Sunay Demircan of DHKD contributed their views on this topic of the day. This was followed by a presentation on the "Management planning and its implementation in the Göksu Delta" by Mehmet Menengic, the head of the Silifke office of the Authority for Protected Special Areas and his colleagues who showed also progress made with the GIS. During the next morning, the participants could check progress on the spot during a walk along the Akgol freshwater lagoon, currently boosting thousands of wintering waterbirds.
The most significant event of the celebration was the presentation of the "Declaration of World Wetlands Day" by the Ministry of the Environment. It urges for the wise use and conservation of wetlands, notably through: - the elaboration of EIAs before projects which may negatively affect wetlands are included into investment programmes or planned, - the restoration of formerly drained wetlands, - an effective coordination between the different ministries and NGOs concerned (cf. above), - the elaboration and implementation of Ramsar Convention-type management plans for Ramsar Sites and subsequently also other wetlands, - the development of wetland monitoring, training and education programmes, - the adoption and use of the MedWet wetland database system, and - efforts to gain the support of the mass media and broadcasting organisations.
The most significant proposal in this Declaration urges to abolish the legal provisions on the need to drain marshes, notably in Article 2.c of the Organisations and Duties of the State Hydraulic Works (Legal Act 2600), in Article 9 of the Act 7200 on malaria eradication, and in Act 5516 on the drainage of swamps and on the use of land gained by drainage. It was said that the State Hydraulic Works agrees with the proposed "revolutionary" changes, provided that its legal experts will give the go-ahead. Thus, a bright future for Turkish wetlands looms on the horizon at this dawn of the 21st century.
The Ministry of the Environment published for WWD 2000 the Ramsar Manual (compiled by Dwight Peck and Valery Higgins of the Ramsar Bureau) in Turkish. Certainly, this will provide useful support for wetland conservation and wise use activities in Turkey.
DHKD took the opportunity of the WWD celebration to thank the Tour du Valat Biological Station (in France) for their help with the conservation of Turkish wetlands, notably through their involvement in the Göksu Delta since 1989, with the attribution of the DHKD Wetland Prize 2000 to Luc Hoffmann and Tour du Valat staff.

Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
One Patient's Story
By Angela Generoso
Reviewed by William Shiel, MD, FACP, FACR
At 21 years of age, Sarah Jones* felt like she was falling apart.Once an energetic cheerleader and member of a professional dance team, full of energy and life, Jones gradually found herself bedridden and unable to work. As time went on she became more confused as to why she was feeling constantly tired. Then one day a friend of hers, who was a nurse, asked if she had ever heard of chronic fatigue syndrome. "My doctor back then didn't believe in chronic fatigue syndrome," Jones says. "It was still up in the air; people didn't believe it existed. I think it's better now, but back then it wasn't." Jones found herself undergoing a series of tests, and when they were finished, she was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease which inhibits people from performing everyday activities due to severe tiredness. Although the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is still unknown, doctors can diagnose it by ruling out other possible causes of fatigue. "There was a sense of relief because finally there was a reason for all I was experiencing," Jones says. "People would constantly ask what was wrong with me, and I felt like I was going crazy. I never guessed it could be one particular illness that could be causing it all." Jones started on a long journey of medical tests in an effort to get better. She went through years of disappointment, having MRIs taken, going through blood tests and a thyroid test, and was put on a series of different medications and herbs. She put time, money and effort into seeing naturalists, visited mainstream doctors, and went through a series of allergy injections in an effort to find an answer. For about three years she was on a strict allergy diet where she had to exclude milk, sugar, corn and wheat from her diet, and also had to remove all dust particles from her house.
"My diet just became more and more limited," Jones says. "I was basically eating meat and salad, wheat free pasta and wheat-free, milk free cookies. My diet was very, very plain."
Although she followed her diet strictly, she still felt tired. Then in 1998, five years after her initial diagnosis with chronic fatigue syndrome, the dizziness started.
"I have constant dizziness," Jones says. "When I look at things, everything is always moving."
Jones sometimes has dizzy spells that are worse than others where she feels off balance and has to grab onto something. Her symptoms are sporadic in that she often can go a few days without feeling severely dizzy, but then experiences several dizzy spells in a short amount of time.
"With chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms come and go," Jones says. "I also have muscle aches, headaches, sore throats and TMJ to name a few," she said. "I sleep with a night guard to help prevent my jaw from locking while I sleep, although it still happens from time to time. My teeth will ache and I even went a whole year unable to chew on one side of my mouth."
Another symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome that plagues Jones is sleep disturbance. She often wakes up during the night for no reason on an average of 15 to 20 times and can remain awake for hours at a time. She underwent a sleep study to find out the cause, but was unable to come up with an answer. It still takes her at least an hour to fall asleep at night.
Jones also experiences problems with her joints and has elbow pain as well as pain in her thumb joints and knee joints. Her list of symptoms goes on to include temporary memory loss , depression, anxiety, irritability, acne, PMS, and lightheadedness. Yet, above all, her strongest and most constant symptoms are her fatigue and dizziness.
"The fatigue I experience isn't just 'being tired,' she explains. "Every fiber of my being feels sick from fatigue."
Since Jones was too fatigued to work, she had to move back with her parents while going through the fight for social security and the wait for housing. It wasn't until 2000, at age 28, that she was able to finally live on her own for the first time since she was 21.

Coldplay have premiered a new music video for their single "Hearts Like Heaven," featuring footage adapted from their upcoming comic book series. That's right, Coldplay are making comic books now. The video is an introduction into the fantasy/sci-fi world of main character Mylo Xyloto, which consequently is also the title of both the series and the album that tell the story.
According to StereoGum.com, Mylo Xyloto will be a "six-part miniseries… reportedly [leading] up to a feature film." The first issue of this series will be making its debut this weekend at the New York City Comic-Con, with the remaining five installments scheduled for production starting in February 2013.
While this is a brand new direction for Coldplay, they are not the first band to go nerd on us. Prog-rock band Coheed & Cambria are almost a decade into their career of creating conceptual albums with accompanying comic books (which are also currently being made into a movie, coincidentally). Perhaps this may have inspired the English lads in Coldplay to pursue their endeavor. Who knows, maybe we'll see even more conceptual comic book adaptations from other musicians once Mylo Xyloto hits the mainstream market… The Adventures Of Lady Gaga: Radio-Active Warrior Princess From Outer Space… anyone?

Broadcast Service Danmark used an IP statistical multiplexing solution to consolidate from 12 to three multiplexing locations.
Broadcast Service Danmark (BSD) is responsible for distribution of TV and public radio across Denmark. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Danish public service broadcasters DR and TV 2|DANMARK.
BSD provides both analog and digital transmission. The company began transmitting digital terrestrial television (DTT) in 2006, using one MPEG-2 multiplex with four channels, from Cisco Scientific Atlanta. On October 31, 2009, the date for Denmark's Analog Switch off, BSD would need to begin broadcasting in digital format only. The company also needed to build three new MPEG-4 multiplexes for Boxer, the Swedish company that had been awarded the license for DTT in Denmark, and one for DR, the public broadcaster.
"We needed a solution that would enable us to quickly grow from one multiplex with four services to five multiplexes with 40 services," says Karsten Madsen, team leader for digital systems, BSD. In addition to building four new MPEG-4 multiplexes, BSD wanted to increase picture quality on the existing MPEG-2 multiplex. The company sought a solution that would minimize capital and operational expense. And it needed to be ready in time for Analog Switch off.
BSD achieved its goals using Cisco solutions for IP statistical multiplexing, encoding, and management. "Over the years, we have had an excellent experience with Cisco people and technology," says Madsen. "We knew we could count on Cisco to help us meet our requirements in a short timeframe, and we like that Cisco sells an end-to-end solution rather than point products. Cisco truly acts as a trusted advisor."
In the planning phase, Cisco consulting engineers advised on the IP statistical multiplexing technology needed to meet the requirements for higher picture quality. Then Cisco and BSD collaborated to develop a proof of concept, which has been successfully completed. Cisco began development even before the contract was finalized. "Cisco's willingness to adapt its solution for our requirements shows its flexibility," Madsen says.
In the new solution architecture, Cisco Digital Content Managers perform remote IP statistical multiplexing in conjunction with MPEG-2 encoders in different locations. BSD's broadcast customers were able to keep their encoders in their own locations while sharing the same bandwidth pool. The Cisco Digital Content Manager allocates variable-bit rates to the encoders, which produces higher picture quality than constant-bit-rate encoding.

Using Cisco Digital Content Managers, which support 40 inputs and/or outputs, BSD was able to consolidate from 12 sub-muxing sites to three. Factors contributing to cost savings include:
• 80 percent fewer multiplexers
• 75 percent fewer locations where equipment must be serviced
• Lower spare parts requirements
• Fewer equipment outages
More savings result from services aggregation, enabled by the cost-effective IP-based video transport within BSD's facility. The video transport solution, based on Cisco Catalyst switches, reduced the need for ASI routers, ASI aggregation multiplexers, and cabling.
Higher Picture Quality
Remote IP statistical multiplexing increases picture quality for the existing MPEG-2 multiplex. "We've received positive feedback from our broadcast customer," says Madsen.
Ease of Management
Personnel who work in BSD's broadcast operation center use their existing skills to manage the new Cisco multiplexers and encoders. No special training was required.
Rapid Deployment
BSD took advantage of SciCare project management and installation services to reduce risk and meet project deadlines. Cisco delivered the solution, which consisted of 330 devices, in just five weeks. "We were impressed with the rapid delivery," says Madsen.
Next Steps
On November 1, 2009, BSD Digital Switch Over will occur throughout Denmark, and BSD will begin transmitting digital multiplexes exclusively.
BSD has already installed the Cisco ROSA ® Video Service Manager and plans to use it for service assurance. Using the graphical user interface, BSD will create service profiles that contain configuration parameters for the network and appropriate devices. Operators will be able to apply the profiles on demand, or the profiles can be invoked automatically according to a predefined schedule.
"We have an excellent relationship with Cisco," says Madsen. "We can collaborate on new ideas, and we benefit from Cisco's experience with other global customers."
Technical Implementation
Danish broadcasters DR and TV2|DANMARK transmit 24 hours a day from different locations. Previously, BSD could not combine their signals to provide variable-bit-rate encoding for all services. Cisco's remote IP statistical multiplexing technology, operating in conjunction with the Cisco Digital Content Manager and Cisco D9032 MPEG-2 encoders, now multiplexes the two broadcasters' signals from different locations. This is possible because the included software can handle the different delays in the network and still allocate variable bit rates. One of the MPEG-4 multiplexes contains HD and SD content in a single statistical multiplexing pool, enabling dynamic allocation of bandwidth to either type of content.
BSD also needed a single frequency network (SFN)-adapter solution for insertion of megaframe initialization packets (MIPs). Cisco offered to integrate an SFN adapter into the Cisco D9900 Digital Content Manager. This saved BSD from having to purchase separate SFN adapters from a third party, which would have increased capital and operational expense and required more rack space. At the request of one of BSD's customers, Cisco also upgraded its encoder to handle HP@L3 encoding.

Bearden to play for Geoducks in 2006-07
Contact: Erik Snyder (360) 867-6537
Sports Information Director
The Evergreen State College
March 23, 2006
OLYMPIA , Wash - Tom Kenna, announced the signing of his first recruit as Evergreen's head men's basketball coach today as Azubo Bearden signed a letter of intent to play with the Geoducks in the 2006-07 season.
Bearden, a 6'-0" guard at Whatcom Community College , averaged 16.1 points per game and 2.7 rebounds per game last season. The Bellingham , Washington native led his high school team to a fifth place finish at the Washington State Tournament in 2004 and was named First Team All-Northwest.
"Azubo is a great addition to our team," said Kenna, who's Geoducks finished the season second in the nation in scoring defense. "Academically he isan excellent student, athletically he has the ability to shoot the three and take defenders off the bounce. But most importantly he is a quality person.We look forward to seeing him excel on and off the court here at The Evergreen State College."
Bearden will add a perimeter scoring threat for the Geoducks. The sharpshooter made just under 50 percent of his shots from the field last season, including a very efficient 39.7 percent from behind the arc.
Kenna expects to add several more players to the team over the coming weeks.

For years immigrants were told that the only way for their children to embrace American culture was to leave behind their heritage language and speak only English.
But what if this advice was based solely on political motives and not the well being of children?
What if the truth was that all children in America, regardless of their cultural background, would actually benefit from learning two languages?
The answer to this question has sparked a new bilingual parenting revolution, which is changing the face of America.

With one week down in the state playoff tournament, were on to the District Championship round….
This round really starts to show who the really good teams are in this tournament, as the teams who pulled a first round upset usually get weeded out in this week's slate of games.
Let's get right to it as Lake Orion plays a home game against the always tough squad from Utica Eisenhower. These teams last met in the playoffs in 2010 with Lake Orion winning, 17-10.
Lake Orion comes into this big game with a sparkling 9-1 record, and has played well on both sides of the ball this season. Last week they dismantled Sterling Heights Stevenson 35-0 behind a great all-around performance. Senior quarterback Derek DeLaura was on the mark all night throwing 206 yards and three touchdown passes. His favorite target is senior Chaz Miller who caught two of those touchdowns. The Dragons scored 28 first half points and never let Stevenson sniff the end zone. As it has been all year, Lake Orion has used three talented running backs who accounted for 194 yards on the ground last week. Coach Chris Bell has his team playing at a top notch level and they are going to be very tough to stop this week.
Last week Utica Eisenhower battled up and coming Warren Mott and blanked them, 28-0. The Eagles always seem to play their best when it comes playoff time and that was evident last week. The 8-2 team held the ball for the majority of the game, and was able to get both their offense and defense clicking. Quarterback Joe Zerafa only threw two incomplete passes and tossed two huge scores. Both of those td passes were to his main man junior receiver Dan Chmielewski. Ike coach Chris Smith will be looking for a similar performance this week if they are to pull out the victory against a rock solid opponent like Lake Orion.
I see this one being a physical battle throughout and whoever gets in field goal position late will come out with this victory.
Lieutenant Dan's Prediction: Lake Orion 13, Utica Eisenhower 10
Another matchup this week that will be one of the more physical games out there is Grand Blanc hitting the road to take on undefeated Clarkston
Grand Blanc pulled one of the major upsets of last week as they took down the heavy favorite Carman-Ainsworth, 30-26. This was not a surprise to them, as they have pulled big time upsets in the last two state playoffs. Senior quarterback Bart Williams was on point last week throwing for 403 yards and three TD's. He even added a touchdown on the ground, which helped showcase his running ability. Bart Williams was an all-state quarterback last year, so this performance was no surprise to him. Coach John Delany has all the confidence in the world in his signal caller and will need him more than ever if they are to pull another upset this week.
The always powerful Clarkston Wolves come in to this one seemingly unstoppable and very possibly the favorite to take home the Division 1 state championship. The Wolves crushed Davison last week, 41-0. Running back Ian Eriksen was fed the ball early and often as he accounted for 105 yards on the ground and three scores. Quarterback DJ Zezuala was only asked to throw six passes in this one, but was still able to throw for 159 yards and a touchdown. The defense was its usual physical self not letting Davison get anything going and shutting them out. If Clarkston plays the way they have all year it will be very tough for Grand Blanc.
I see this one being closer than people expect early, with Clarkston pulling away in the second half
Lieutenant Dan's Prediction: Clarkston 35, Grand Blanc 17

We're excited to tell you that we just released SilverStripe version 2.4! This is a major new release and an important milestone for the SilverStripe community, the open source project, and our company.
SilverStripe 2.4 is the culmination of over a year's worth of development. We fixed 391 tickets and had over 1,400 changelog entries. A large number of the patches that went into 2.4 have come from you, the community, and we're especially happy that there's been increasing community involvement.
If your website contains a large number of pages, you may find SilverStripe's default way of handling URLs a little limiting. Until now, URLs could only be one level deep, for example:
With hierarchical URLs, the address for such a page might be:
One of the principles of this feature is that it provides a logical "bread crumb" for a page. Each URL segment (as separated by a slash) is a page in itself that can be visited. Hierarchical URLs also reduce the problem of "running out" of URLs, where you might be forced to have URLs like http://website.com/staff-2.
SilverStripe 2.4 allows you to run the website in either simple or hierarchical URL mode.
Huge thanks go to Andrew Short, a member of our developer community based in Australia, who is responsible for writing most of this feature.
We have seen strong demand for SilverStripe to run on the Microsoft platform—in recent months there have been tens of thousands of downloads via the Microsoft.com web application gallery alone. We have therefore worked hard to allow SilverStripe to natively run on a SQL Server 2008 database, eliminating the requirement to run SilverStripe on MySQL (though, of course, it still runs great on MySQL). We're really happy with the results, and we have government websites like www.gw.govt.nz already running on this platform.
Running SilverStripe on SQL Server requires the installation of the SilverStripe SQL Server module.
SilverStripe 2.4 can also run on a PostgreSQL 8.3 or later database. We are continuosly testing this feature; however, our testing has not been as extensive as it has been for Microsoft SQL Server. We'd love for you to install SilverStripe 2.4 with the PostgreSQL Database Support module and let us know how it goes.
Memory use optimisations mean that the CMS backend interface for the "Site Content" section easily scales to well over 10,000 pages. Changes include:
SilverStripe has long had support for setting granular security permissions on pages. Users can be a member of one or more groups, and groups can be configured to have various system rights. We also allow various view and edit permissions on a page-by-page basis. This provides a great deal of flexibility, but in complex organisations the task of setting up the permission structures can mean spending a lot of time creating security groups.
With SilverStripe 2.4 we've made it easier to manage more complex security configurations with the introduction of roles. Roles allows you to create groupings of people who
Roles are optional.
We'd love for you to download SilverStripe 2.4, test it, and raise articulate bug reports. In particular, we are interested in:
To raise a bug, log in at open.silverstripe.com and create a new ticket. When adding a ticket, be sure to specify the version as 2.4.0.
A big THANK YOU to all the community members who have tested, submitted bug fixes, and submitted new code. And of course, major props to the SilverStripe staff who have worked very hard over the past year to make this release simply awesome.
"Have been using Silverstripe for over 6 months now and am very glad I am. Just hope it keeps working well."
Really? to be honest after trying it myself on the company for 5 weeks now, I can say is not exactly what I expected, I suppose we use it on a different way...

I got a great deal on this impact wrench with a discount code from one of the motorcycle magazines. I used it to take the caps off the forks of my motorcycle. It worked as advertised and felt very powerful. It's rated at 230 ft-lbs of torque and it delivers. Great alternative to air impact wrenches and highly recommended for the price.

I bought this mainly to help with wheel removal and install for home tire rotations and brake work. The unit worked, but wouldn't break my 90-100 ft-lb lug nuts loose. I hammered them for 10+ seconds and no dice. Took the tool back to HF and bought a Kobalt unit, it had no problem zipping the same lug nuts off. Maybe the HF has variable quality because other reviewers had no problem with lug nuts. HF was great with handling the return. I really wanted this to work because the price was WAY better than the big boxes. Might be a great tool if your torque requirements aren't too stiff.

Comments about Chicago Electric Power Tools 1/2 in. Electric Impact Wrench:
I am the local go-to guy for the Locals with a Piaggio MP3-500 scooter. I bought this gun with the idea of changing my drive belt. It can do that job and any other job needed. I have been using mine for about three years now, and it works like a champ! I am considering purchasing the battery model to take on the road with me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works Right
By Dolamite
from Illinois
This and the same other model are strong enough to do the job. You don't wan't too strong cause possible damaged bolts. Do what it's made for, if the bolt is seized use conventional spray solutions and let it sit. Then stay on the bolt with the gun. Don't expect it to come off instantly. Let it do it's thing and stay on it with pressure, don't be afraid of the noise if you're a newb. I've removed 21mm bolts and 18mm triple square bolts(no WD-40), removing the brake caliper and bearings on my 2007 audi. I wouldn't have been able to do the job if I didn't have this impact wrench. It's a little big, but if you make the room for that particular job it will be a life saver.

I do alot of car work in my garage and this impact gun has been the greatest tool for all types of work. It has never failed to take off a hard to loosen nut or bolt and I had it for over 4 years.

More powerful than expected...

I had a bolt that I bent a 3 foot long 3/4 galvanized steel pipe on the end of a long breaker bar trying to break free, I honestly didn't think this thing would work, but after about 20 seconds the bolt broke loose. Great for the price and powerful for being electric driven.
Good power

Defensive end Chauncey Davis, fullback Ovie Mughelli and Atlanta native and former Baltimore Raven Daniel Wilcox are set to host the Downtown Locker Room (DTLR) and The Athletic Group (TAG) football camp on Saturday at the James R. Hallford Football Stadium located in Clarkston.
The price is right, too. It's free.
"Instead of sitting in the house watching TV and playing video games, you can be outside doing something active and something positive," Davis said.
They will go over comprehensive NFL football drills and conditioning for student-athletes ages 12 to 17.
"It's a great chance to give back to the kids of the Atlanta community," Mughelli said. "So I'm excited to work on this with my teammate Chauncey Davis and my former teammate Daniel Wilcox."
The Falcons are planning more than just some football drills.
"We'll also have some workshops to help them with their football skills, self-confidence and help them with things they could use in the future," Mughelli said. "Give them some advice on how to tackle some of the obstacles that we've already been through that will probably be in their future."
If you have a potential camper, you can register for the online at DTLR.com or on-site from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday.
McNAIR MUSINGS: Went to the Circle City Classic in 1991 to see Howard University take on Alcorn State at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis.
Had to write for USA Today and the Jackson, Miss. paper. It was either the second or third game of his career with the Braves. Back then he went by Steve "Air II" McNair. His brother, Fred was the original "Air McNair."
The Bison hung with the Braves early, but McNair, who was tossing deep squares-ins from 40-yards away to eventual NFL player Torrance Smalls was too much to handle. The Braves won 46-27 and his legend continue to grow from there.
Mughelli was a teammate with McNair, who was murdered on Saturday in Nashville, when he played with the Baltimore Ravens in 2006.
"This is incredibly sad," Mughelli said on Monday. "When I heard it, I couldn't believe it."
Mughelli played with the Ravens from 2003 to 2006. After a stellar career with the Houston/Tennessee Titans, McNair played his final two seasons with Baltimore in 2006 and 2007.
Mughelli left the Ravens after the 2006 season, when he signed an $18 million free agent deal with the Falcons.
"He's a friend of mine," Mughelli said. "I can remember the exact day when someone told me that the Ravens were going to get Steve McNair. I was giddy like a school girl. I watched him at Tennessee and respected him as a person. To have the chance to play with him was really a treat."
GONZALEZ CORNER: Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez was recently a guest on the Jim Rhome show.
Our buddy J. Michael wrote a piece for the team website about how Gonzalez will be required to block more. He had some stuff left over from the end of OTA's from OC Mike Mularkey. Do you think the Falcons gave up a second round pick to add a blocking tight end?
RAMS TO FOLLOW FALCONS PLAN: Chatted with former Falcons linebacker Chris Draft, who's currently with the St. Louis Rams, recently about the Rookie Symposium. In light of the McNair and Sean Taylor killings, it's going to be hard to talk players out of securing firearms. But hey, that's another blog for Second Amendment day.
With Draft, we took the opportunity to see how things were going in St. Louis under first year coach Steve Spagnuolo.
The Rams are hoping to follow the turnaround model the Falcons set down last season.
"Things look really good," Draft said. "We got a real nice overhaul, very similar to what the Falcons did last year by changing some leadership. I'm really excited about the changes that were made.
"The Miami Dolphins and the Falcons, did they change a huge amount of their teams? Not really. They added some big pieces, especially the Falcons with Matt Ryan and Michael Turner. But the thing that they did was really change around some of the leadership with the head coaching. It created a very focused approach toward what it was going to take to win. They got everybody to buy into that.
"That's what we have right now. We had pretty much everybody at all of the workouts. It was very close to having 100 percent participation. Everybody has brought in and are committed to getting it down. With Coach Spags, it's just a huge difference in making sure that we are right of top of understanding the situation with our jobs so that we can really just cut it loose and play together."
TRAINING CAMP WARMUP: Just a couple more weeks until the opening of training camp. Here's a little chat with the Football Guys (Cecil and Sigmund) on The Audible.
Here are couple of training camp facts:
The Falcons coaching staff has 207 years of NFL coaching experience.
Nine players from Georgia will enter camp on the roster. They are running back Thomas Brown (Tucker), wide receiver Harry Douglas (Jonesboro), linebacker Tony Gilbert (Macon), cornerback David Irons (Dacula), wide receiver Aaron Kelly (Marietta), cornerback William Middleton (Atlanta), long snapper Robert Shiver (Thomasville), quarterback D.J. Shockley (College Park) and cornerback Tony Tiller (Stone Mountain).
Wide receiver Roddy White will be looking to become the second player in team history to post three straight 1,000-yard seasons. He would join Andre Rison (1992 to 1994) in the exclusive club. (SOME YouTube video of Rison and Chris Miller working out of the Red Gun attack.) There's that small matter of White's contract extension that could get in the way. White's camp had to like the three-year, $27 million extension that Greg Jennings signed with Green Bay recently).

D3, see we just had to put the idea out there, we are all excited about the upcoming season for the Falcons and when you add the fact that we have been able to comment on just about anything including recipes, a fantasy league is yet another logical choice. I think we will have the people so now I guess we should try to narrow down where we join. Sarah said yahoo, foxsports offers a very good fantasy league and of course the league on espn is good, but I have been looking over the league on NFL network and it seems very interesting also. This is turning out to be a very nice blog, we'll have the Falcons to go back and forth with add our other unusual and sometimes unpredictable chats, and we can add in some fantasy talk, looks like its going to be a good season in the cage.
July 8th, 2009
3:33 pm
WR & Sarah B. – I'm in for whatever website. I use ESPN and am extremely happy with that, but I'm up for whichever one you want to use.
Who's In?…..Me, WR, Sarah, JJ, Shannon D & who else? I say we limit it to 10 also, 12 man leagues suck the fun out of it. Just gotta figure out who's going to be the GM, what website to use, and when would be a time when we could all meet online and do a draft. You all let me know.

D3, I say its a matter of finding the right league, we have our GM if you have the time, I mean since day one you have always been fair and impartial, now if it was a college fantasy football league I might rethink the deal, gotta be that dog thing. I'm definitely with you on the ESPN fantasy leagues, but I am open to all locations.

WR taught me a new phrase this week, so I'm going to try it for the first time…
Sarah B., I'm just keeping it real girl, but I don't know crack and its addiction, how do you? (just playing and trying out the phrase).
WR: Is that the correct way to use the phrase? Maybee I'm too old, it didn't feel right.
About 8/1 1st official '09 'cagers gathering: How do we notice each other? I've been giving this allot of thought and my suggestion is to write our moniker "same size as the numbers on jerseys" on both sides of a t-shirt. Long-term: we need to come up with a offical slogan and/or graphic design for shirts. I buy them all the time for my small company but I'm no designer. I bet some of our members who are computer savy could come up with some great designs that we can send to any shop and then order/pay over the phone/internet.
July 8th, 2009
7:28 pm
Unca' Bob as much as you know football you better be careful before getting involved in fantasy football. Fantasy football is kind of like what we do for the Falcons, you analyze the league and its players, you then decide on the players you want and put them in order of most important, kind of like a draft board for an NFL team. After everyone is set which is decided by a cut off date, a draft takes place and for most leagues its electronically done. For example lets say you have Micheal Turner as your number one rb, followed by Peterson, and Forte. If you are the team picking first in the draft you would get Turner, if not, just like a regular draft, you get the next player available on your list. Its a very strategic game, lets say you have a inside track on Clinton Portis having a big year, you put him first and your team drafts Portis, now everyone else thinks your crazy, but you know something we don't know and he has a big year, in fantasy thats considered a steal. Thats why Micheal Turner was considered such a big steal in fantasy leagues last year, he basically came out of no where, he was a low round fantasy pick and he provided big returns, kind of like getting Joe Montana and Tom Brady in the sixth round of the draft. Thats why I say with your football knowledge this could be addictive for you Unca' Bob, but its additive in a good way and it mays you think almost like a coach or GM. I will give more on fantasy football later but I have figured out that if you add too much the blog monster will take it away.
July 8th, 2009
7:35 pm
Thank you for your research link. At this time I will take my hat back. If y'all can fill out the roster spots, procede. I will continue my process. Should I find the magic that really explains what it's all about, I'll get back to you.
July 8th, 2009
7:37 pm
D3, whats up man? Got a call from Calhoun today about the kid who is possibly headed to UGA. He says the kid is the real deal and also says he may be the best player ever to come out of Calhoun, better than Durham.
July 8th, 2009
7:39 pm
I bet Stirg would play so he can have John Abraham on his team. You guys use defense right? We do at work. Sacks are worth 2, solo tackles worth 1. We've always held a live draft at Barnacles so I'll have to be educated on the on-line draft.
July 8th, 2009
7:40 pm
JJ don't know squat about crack – just a saying – as addictive as crack.
July 8th, 2009
7:55 pm
JJ, please tell me your kidding, if your too old to have heard the phrase "keeping it real" I gotta figure you have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel. You don't have to be hood to say I'm keeping it real, I think thats a common misunderstanding.
D3, what do you think, starting to look like our league will overflow. I think you based alot of things on the scum that made up past Falcons blogs, but times are changing, the people on here now are committed good football fans. I still remember when I first started and I was about to quit just as soon, but you came back with intelligent football talk and the next thing you know, Seminole, Nookle, Stirg, and Reno911, made me feel right at home with intelligent football talk, minus the hate and vile or racism and bigotry, plus D3, you are from my old stomping ground in clayco, if you can handle that area, you can handle just about anything, also, if you can see the potential in that area, which you have shown that you see, you can believe anything, We're up to about seven and growing stonger everyday with the idea of a fantasy league, now tell me this year is not going to be strong and exciting in the birdcage, what a family the cage is becoming.
July 8th, 2009
8:08 pm
Sarah B., WR – I was kidding! I never really knew what it meant until WR explained it. It just doesn't work for me-wm38holding. I know you dont have to be hood, it's mainstream and I never understood it until WR analogy…oh well!
Excited about FF–looks like a fun league, I just need to learn a little so I can kick these little bee's and puppy dogs!!!
July 8th, 2009

I am sure I can do the fantasy league with success. I just need to know how the draft sets up. How many of us do you think we will play with? 12? We need to decide so we can do our prep for the draft. Since I want be in Georgia this season; this will be a great way to hang with some friends and enjoy some football.

8:39 pm
Unca'Bob, glad to see your throwing your hat back in, it really is addictive and with your football knowledge I can see you having some serious fun. When you first start its an understanding period, but once you realize that you are basically a coach and GM at the sametime you start to get the hang of things, and thats when the fun starts. Trust me your going to have some fun mixing and matching line ups with the so-called "wet behind their ears" generation.
July 8th, 2009
8:42 pm
WR, I have never done this fantasy league stuff before. It should be fun getting schooled a little bit by some of the most knowledgable football fans I hve ever met. D3, and Unca Bob. All hell will break loose if Coach Ken decides to partake.

JJ, little bee's ok but puppy dogs. What does that mean? Anyway FF sounds fun but I don't know anything about it. If you don't get the 10 or 12 you need then I'll give it a try.

I am truely on the learning curve. When I first came to this post, about three months ago, I feel I have learned a great deal from the Cage. My process continues.

What's Goin' on My Friends in the 'Cage! Great to be here in the best social networking place to be. Who the H$LL needs Facebook, when you got good Falcons Football talk in the Bird-Cage. This fantasy football league is getting me jacked. So let's to it…….
Coach Ken – yeah, that was me about Jerry and Lewis' injury history. Just playing devil's advocate, thats all. I think they'll be fine also, just trying to find some potential pitfalls and be as objective as possible, which is really pretty hard to do with this team.
JJ – getting stoked about the official Bird-Cage meetup. I'll be donning my old Shockley #3 jersey for the camp and saving my black Matty Ice jersey for the regular season.
falcon21 – yeah, heard nothing but great things from him. I had so much promise and hope in Durham, but too injury-prone to ever really get any footing. I'm counting you in. Its really easy once you get started.
WR – I'm only counting 8 as of right now. Hadn't heard from any of our original G's that have gone missing for over a month now. Reno, Nookah, and Seminole haven't been on in quite some time. Here's who I got:
D3, Sarah B, WR, JJ, jason, Unca' Bob, Falcon21, Shannon D; am I leaving someone out? Love teaching the kids in clayco, but the people who run it; well thats another story. It seems to be getting a little better though.
Sarah B. – my leagues have always done IDP (individual defensive players). Makes it more fun, but team D might be easier with so many rooks. You wanna be GM? If not I can, doesn't matter to me.
Unca' Bob – I'm still keeping it on the DL until it becomes live. But basically we got our own fan blog called, you guessed it…."The Bird-Cage." The fan blog will just be a "fan's experience blog" that will supplement DOL's. The idea is post on both. A good example is how the UGA beat blog is the main source for news and updates, and Bill King's Junkyard Blawg is the fan blog that supplements in the spaces. I'll share more as we get a little closer. Still a couple of weeks out.
More to come later peeps. Great work in the 'Cage as always!

I need to agree about Coach Ken. The man knows his football. He is one more reason all of our process continues.

Bad News: I hope your sources are wrong.
Sarah B.: I was kidding, I doubt anyone does crack and lives to blog on this cage..well maybee vs/vs2. You are the queen of this blog, and I hold that in the highest regard! Why are their not more women who follow sports/ falcons? I know their out there, we just dont hear from them.
WR: I tried the keeping it real and it didn't work for me. Too old-I doubt it, just diff. times my brother. Regardless, tnx for teaching me the definition, I really never knew.
D3: my man, so you like rescue me too! It's the bomb and man allot more sex for our main man! Here's my list:

Photo: Ephemeral in my garden this spring. This is of a Scilla siberica - a mock shot, if you will, of a photo taken last year of the same area. It's funny, last year this flower bloomed in April - but due to our extremely mild winter and warm spring this was blooming in early March. ♥
