Why Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (BWP) Plummeted to a One-Year Low Today (Update)
Update (5:30 p.m.): Updated with closing price, one-year low price and volume.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (BWP) shares plummeted 45.99% to $13.01, an $11.08 decline from its previous close of $24.09, at the close of the trading day on Monday after the energy company reported a 78% decrease in net income attributable to controlling interests in its fourth-quarter report.
The stock plunged to a one-year low of $12.79 on Monday and had a volume of 43,104,169, more than 65 times its average of 655,777.
The company noted a drop to $19.5 million to from $90.1 million in the same quarter one year earlier. Net income per unit also declined to eight cents a share from 38 cents a share in the same period one year earlier. Boardwalk also announced that it had cut its quarterly cash distribution by more than 80% to 10 cents a share.Credit Suisse downgraded Boardwalk Pipeline to "underperform" from "neutral," lowering its target price to $20. Must Read: Trade-Ideas: Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (BWP) Is Today's Pre-Market Mover With Heavy Volume Stock TheStreet Ratings team rates BOARDWALK PIPELINE PRTNRS-LP as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate BOARDWALK PIPELINE PRTNRS-LP (BWP) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, reasonable valuation levels and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- BWP's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 1.9%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.8%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- BWP's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.81 is somewhat low overall, but it is high when compared to the industry average, implying that the management of the debt levels should be evaluated further. Regardless of the somewhat mixed results with the debt-to-equity ratio, the company's quick ratio of 0.72 is weak.
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, BWP has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 12.99% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. In comparison to the other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, BOARDWALK PIPELINE PRTNRS-LP's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

Deborah Gibson is a creative force in the entertainment industry who does it all! She has single handedly transcended music and entertainment trends and fads. Deborah stands poised at the top, embarking on the second phase of her hugely successful pop career.
Deborah Gibson exploded on the pop music scene at the tender age of 16. She quickly became the youngest person ever to write, produce and perform a #1 single ("Foolish Beat"), a record which she still proudly holds to this day. Deborah has sold over 16 million albums worldwide to date. Her extraordinary career has garnered her #1 Billboard hits, Platinum albums, ASCAP Songwriter of the Year honors, sold-out audiences around the world and rave reviews for her starring roles on Broadway.
Growing up in Long Island, Deborah began performing with her sisters in Community Theatre at the age of five. At age five, she wrote her first composition. By age eight, she was performing as part of the children's chorus at the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC with artists such as Plácido Domingo. By the time she was twelve years old, she was already a professional Broadway actress pursuing a recording career. The dream was realized by sixteen, when Deborah was signed to Atlantic Records. Her first single "Only In My Dreams" went right to the top of the charts around the world.
Following were several more top five hits and the #1 single "Foolish Beat". Her debut album "Out of the Blue" sold over five million copies. With this, Deborah established herself as a household name and immediately confirmed that position with her triple platinum follow up #1 album "Electric Youth" and the #1 single "Lost In Your Eyes". Deborah's recording legacy includes 1990's Gold album "Anything Is Possible", 1993's "Body Mind Soul", 1995's "Think With Your Heart", 1997's "Deborah" and 2001's "M.Y.O.B.".
In 1992, Deborah returned to her theatrical roots by taking a star turn in the Broadway production of Les Miserables as "Eponine". She broke box office records in the London West End production of "Grease" as "Sandy", then took the stage in the U.S. Broadway Tours of "Grease" and Funny Girl playing "Rizzo" and "Fanny Brice" respectively. Deborah returned to Broadway as "Belle" in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", followed by her critically acclaimed performance as Gypsy Rose Lee to Betty Buckley's "Mama Rose" in Gypsy at the Paper Mill Playhouse. In February 2000, Deborah starred as "The Narrator" in the national tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Then, in December 2001, Deborah starred, in a 3 month engagement, as "Cinderella" in the national production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella to Eartha Kitt's "Fairy Godmother". In October, 2002, Deborah graced the stage as "Velma Kelly" in Boston's North Shore Theatre's production of "Chicago", a role she will do again at the Lyric Theatre in Oklahoma City, July, 2003. Deborah returned to Broadway in February 2003, for a 4 month stint as the "saucy, sexy Sally Bowles" at Studio 54 in "Cabaret". In May, 2004, Deborah joined Reprise starring as "Marta" in "Company" and then in August, 2004, as "Maggie" in "Brigadoon" with rave reviews.
For the longest time, Debbie Gibson had vowed not to strip for Playboy. Luckily for the male population, Debbie relented and her pictures can be found here

Osprey Cam: Reality TV Featuring Our Wild Neighbors
There are some new neighbors in town, and I can't stop spying on them!
Allie and Bama recently moved to Orange Beach, Alabama. They live on prime real estate in this pristine beach town along the northern Gulf Coast. The climate is sub-tropical, grocery shopping is close-by, and the commute to work is more than manageable. They utilize locally sourced food for nourishment and have recycled building material for their humble abode. Their family is healthy and quickly growing with the arrival of two new offspring.
Allie, Bama and their newborns are not your typical beach-town family. They are birds of prey, called osprey (Pandion haliaetus) and in late spring this spring, The Nature Conservancy and our partners installed a camera to monitor their activities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We have been invited into the home of Allie and Bama, and it has been the best unscripted reality show I've ever seen!
Flushing Out the Truth About Sewage and Coral Reefs
I never expected to be so intrigued and excited about poop, until a paper in PloS ONE came out in 2011 that demonstrated that a common human pathogen found in human wastewater, Serratia marcescens strain PDR60, caused white pox disease in elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), the foundation species in Caribbean coral reefs.
Caribbean reefs have been plagued by disease in recent years and figuring out the source of the pathogens has been a challenge. Human sewage has long been a suspect, but the science behind this suspicion was always tenuous. I think most people would assume that exposing reefs to partially treated or untreated sewage couldn't be a good thing, but there were no clear data that made the connection of human sewage to the degradation of corals so clearly until this paper.
Unfortunately, there is plenty of untreated sewage making its way into tropical seas.
In the Caribbean, most sewage isn't actually treated, rather it is put into containers that sit in the ground — the ground being comprised of porous calcium carbonate rock (limestone) that is characteristically leaky.
In many places in the Pacific, the ocean is the toilet.
Tech: Remote-Controlled Conservation
Illinois researchers searching for the best ways to reduce nitrates in drinking water are looking to an unlikely tool: a remote-controlled airplane.
In the Mackinaw River watershed in Central Illinois, The Nature Conservancy and partners are working to reduce high nitrate levels in water by filtering agricultural run-off through wetlands, a tactic that research shows can reduce nitrates by 50%.
These particular types of wetlands are specifically constructed to collect and retain water from tile drainage. Tiling is an underground system of tubing that drains wet fields. These tiles then drain water—and untreated nitrates and phosphates from the field—directly into the river.
The challenge: Tiling is underground. You can't detect it with your eyes. Literally millions of miles of tile run under Illinois farm fields, so locating tile patterns in farm fields is imprecise at best.
Enter the remote-controlled airplane.
Feature: Building Wetlands for Clean Drinking Water
Can building wetlands reduce dangerous high nitrate levels and thus provide clean, safe drinking water for thousands of people?
But, when it comes to ensuring clean water, not all wetlands are created equal.
Biologists know how to restore great wetlands to draw in ducks and shorebirds. Restoring wetlands to also help people may require a different approach.
That's the focus of an intensive research effort conducted by Nature Conservancy scientists on the Mackinaw River watershed in central Illinois. The wetlands—while providing wildlife habitat and healthier rivers—are being designed and tested to provide safe drinking water for the 90,000 residents of Bloomington, Illinois and surrounding communities where the town's primary reservoir has had a history of high nitrate levels.

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
Thanks, Quigleyer. I'm gonna add reflected light from the lightning.
If you mean the swoop of clouds, I wanted to show that the clouds are being pushed up by the movement of the dragon. I'll try to improve that and the sky in general.
Thanks, Bruce Pluto. I'll try to tone down focus on the claw by using colors.
The lava effects you are hinting at look good, too!
Here is more progress, I changed the arm.
Bruce Pluto, I think the main focus should be the head, then the claw on the right, then attention should swoop left along the smaller dragons to the flying ship with the blue glow.
The main points of focus currently are the head, the mouth in particular, the chest, and then the bright blue light. If you want to draw the focus to that right (his left) hand, you might want to do something to it that adds contrast, because it currently blends in with the mountain and sky.
It might be my monitor, but I had to actually search for the other smaller dragons. Perhaps give them bright red mouths too? At least something that makes them stand out and clearly on the dragon's side.
As for the colour of the dragon and background al all that, I liked your colour choice best as it looked here, but that could obviously just be me. The dark somewhat red sky made the dragon and it's bright, fire-y mouth stand out much more than it does now.
I am going to agree with Lhune here about the lighting. I think it was much more dynamic the other way. I'm still having trouble figuring the direction of the arrows. They appear, to me, to be aiming at me, more than anything else.
The main focus points are the head, chest and then the "blue light special" (LOL). I REALLY like the claws, and the volcano under the left one. It appears as if the dragon is tearing apart the mountain there, I like that. I would like to see more lava off of the mountain on the extreme left.
All-in-all, I think you are doing a masterful job here and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.
Howdy Ruben
Only you know the direction you want the views eyes to travel start to finish. The volcano (in the second paint-over image) was just to balance the high intensity light source coming from the dragons mouth. So I guess it would take the viewers eye into a counter clockwise rotation, where as you are looking for a clockwise rotation. For that to happen the smaller dragons are going to have to stand out more against the dark rocks there (just as I see it).
Its just my opinion but I think that most successful works of art have no less than 2 or 3 points of main interest. These are areas of high detail. From a distance the viewer sees the image as a whole. If the composition is good and the light is right then they will want to move in for a closer more detailed look.
Your dragon head is the main focus for me and is very powerful. The whole figure with its wings and mighty claws grasping the rocks is a strong one. You are telling a story in the visual sense and you know how you want it told. The image is very interesting and I think that you are working it well.
See ya, Bruce
Very nice work...
Just looking at the piece what bothers me the most is size of his wing flaps. The limbs or appendages are not perspective to the vanishing point to so the Wings seem to small to lift this massive Beast.
The neck looks a little twist. .(seems like he woke up with kink and now he's pissed.) a Little more form there would work nicely.
..and finally just a personal grip.. due to the size of that jet that swooping him the Dragon's head is high in altitude and some shrouding clouds similar to the top of a mountain would add to the character.
Hey how about some news helicopters flying in from the foreground?
The media is always around!
End Transmission....
Here's what it looks like for now
-Much- better already. The only thing that pops out to me now is tone down the red glow around the dragon's mouth a bit, it's getting rather distracting and covering most of it's face. But that's all for now . Just enjoying the progress.
Best one yet Ruben!
Its really coming along nicely. I think this is the version I like the most. Darkening the sky certainly draws more attention to your main subjects here.
Okay, here's what it look like for now.
Anything left to do before I call this done?
Maybe reptilian skin textures? I tried a bit but it messed up my forms...
Hmmm I could add in a strong foreground element, even a silhouette, just to give scale and context.
Okay! I'm pretty happy with this. Is there anything I missed before I send this to the finished work forum?
The red colour is totally taking over the detail that SHOULD be visible on the dragon. (Why so much red on him??)
The focus now is the mountain (and the claw) to the right, its more detailed that the dragon, and much more interesting to look at. If the dragon was moer detalied this would not eb a problem.
That cloud to the top left really sticks out along the the lightining to its left. Tone them down.
There is no rim light on his wings (from the lightning)
And more space ships, perhaps, to show that an intense battle is taking place. Some hitting the dragon with their wepons.
I think a few coming from the bottom left corner would give more meaning to the painting. That way the dragon is actually aiming for something with his fire.
Looks nice, but I think the glows are way over done and take away a lot from the image. I don't think it would any near so intense on the chest since the glow originates from inside his mouth, so the jaw blocks it from reaching that area.
The blue glow on the left side also bothers me, far too intense and it looks out of place, almost like it's a fighter jet rather than a ship from a fantasy universe.
Someone mentioned some simple foreground elements like a silhouette, I would try that idea out to establish some better depth.
Overall though i like it and the concept is great, good luck!
Yeah, I guess I went overboard with the glows. I kept looking and looking at it and it looked more and more anemic. Here it is with less glow:
Yeah, I guess I went overboard with the glows. I kept looking and looking at it and it looked more and more anemic. Here it is with less glow:
I still think the glow is far too dominant and present in areas that shouldn't be affected by it, mostly the dragons head. It really takes away from the detail on it. One question...does his chest glow itself? If so it might be a good idea to show some light source underneath his skin.
I looked at the picture on another monitor, and... YIKES!
The red was indeed overpowering!
Here it is as I hope I meant it to look.
EPIC! I feel it!!!

Happy Game Day, Addicts!
The Kansas City Chiefs have been pretty coy about just what they have in store for us today. Todd Haley keeps insisting that Tyler Palko is the starter but short of a major turnaround by the former Pitt QB, you have to believe we'll see Kyle Orton today. I'm still holding to my theory that the Chiefs will use two QBs and a lot of trickery. I think Haley's going all in. It might not be pretty but I think today's game is going to be very, very interesting.
We'll have more on the game late but until then, here is your Morning Fix!
Injuries have exposed a roster woefully lacking in depth (the general manager's fault) that have muddied an already complicated picture of whether Haley is the right guy.
Because this is damning of Palko: his 20 drives in two games have produced eight punts, six interceptions, four field goals, one fumble, one turnover on downs and zero touchdowns.
But this will be worse for Haley: if Palko starts, continues his tricycle act, and the Chiefs look inept because of it in another loss.
"We haven't really been in this situation yet since we've all been here, but we're to that point in the year where we are in it," Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said. "We aren't one of the teams that are out of it and we've got our work cut out for us,"
In Haley's first season as head coach, the Chiefs were completely out of the playoff picture by the time December arrived. Last year, Kansas City's led the AFC West from Week One through Week 17.
It is not too early to wonder where Peyton Manning will be playing next season. If the Colts end up with the No. 1 pick, don't trade it and take Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, and if the Colts decide against keeping both players, Manning could be traded or released.
In an Insider piece, Mel Kiper looks at the teams that he thinks are the most likely destinations for Manning if he becomes available. The Chiefs are fourth on his list. I could see the reason why, but I'd be surprised if it happened. Still, Kiper correctly, in my opinion, argues the Chiefs would be the team to beat in the West with Manning as their quarterback. The combination of a healthy Kansas City roster and Manning would be pretty nice.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is trying to compile more information on the Lake Michigan Water Trail, a route along Lake Michigan for paddling...and it would like the public's help in doing so.
The state is partnering with others nearby to document features along the water trail, but has fallen behind, says the DNR's Paul Yauk. So, he asks paddlers using the trail this summer to take pictures, and note things like camp sites and launching locations.He says that, soon, paddlers should have complete maps of the Lake Michigan Water Trail.

Hassman, Tupelo
Adult Fiction HASSMAN
Summary: A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Rory Hendrix, the least likely of Girl Scouts, hasn't got a troop or a badge to call her own. But she still borrows the Handbook from the elementary school library to pore over its advice, looking for tips to get off the Calle--the Reno trailer park where she lives with her mother, Jo, the sweet-faced, hard-luck bartender at the Truck Stop. Rory's been told she is one of the "third-generation bastards surely on the road to whoredom," and she's determined to break the cycle. As Rory struggles with her mother's habit of trusting the wrong men, and the mixed blessing of being too smart for her own good, she finds refuge in books and language. From diary entries, social workers' reports, story problems, arrest records, family lore, and her grandmother's letters, Tupelo Hassman's Girlchild crafts a devastating collage that shows us Rory's world while she searches for the way out of it.

Your Brand
I've just returned from UnConvention (a conference held by the National Speakers' Association of Australia for leading speakers, facilitators, consultants and business educators).
The event was an injection of fresh ideas, solid principles and innovative practices for our own business and the businesses we serve.
Being big on brand I saw much of the content and presentations from a brand perspective, in particular what makes a brand resonate, and why resonance is so important for any business in today's market.
Here are distilled thoughts for your brand:
Building a brand is growing a community. It's not bricks and mortar, your logo, signature style or corporate colours. Don't get me wrong, all those elements are vital in supporting your values, purpose and people, but they're not your brand.
Your people are your brand. Your clients, colleagues, suppliers, association peers, fellow employees and joint venture partners. They're your brand. How well you serve those people and help them get what they want, helps you get what you want. How well are you serving your people right now?
Oh what a feeling. With those four simple words, a signature tune and elated drivers jumping in the air Toyota generated exactly that. A feeling. Yes, they had a multimillion dollar budget to get that message out, but the money would have been wasted without resonance. I take this on stage with me every time I present, MC or train. How can I best represent this brand, whether it's a brand I'm representing or one of our own. What feelings and actions can I generate in the audience to help them be more engaged and have a greater experience with tangible takeaways. Personally choosing our speakers and MCs for the same ethos, I know they do too.
Why brand matters now. As our fascination with technology drives rapid change and (sometimes) greater productivity, it also creates greater challenges. We spend more time online than ever before, but many people feel disconnected or fear being left behind. No matter where your people like to spend their time - online, in a park, on a bridge, in the office or in a shopping mall - what experiences can you give them to make them want to keep coming back to you, despite the noise of bigger brands or lure of headhunters? If you want some more clues here, look at Coke's 'name a can' campaign for successful customer buy-in or Google's promotion of personal employee projects for greater career fulfillment. How can your brand be more inclusive and create greater connections for your community, helping you retain your customers and top talent?
Build brand equity. At UnConvention I attended a breakout session on profitability for a fictitious company called 'Grumply International.' After much healthy thrashing and debating, number crunching and forecasts, the 'client' gave us the clearest, most succinct explanation of all: Performance drives profit. Promote your people's passion for performance and you build greater brand equity.
Be a stand out Brand. We have some fantastic clients and one of them, Paul Mitchell, reminded me in a conversation yesterday about my own brand. It was a gift to hear what excited him about working with us. Taking a stand, though, is not something you do once, set and forget. Like any valuable commitment it's a stand we need to keep taking daily; a verb, not a noun.
Whether you're a building a personal brand, running your own business or serving an organisation, how are you driving performance to bring your brand to life, truly engage your market and increase profitability?
Speaking with colleague Phil Preston this week about our course, presentability, he quietly said that's exactly what we do with the program; bring presentations to life. Phil's right.
The program gives a platform to help structure your presentations for your audience and give you clear outcomes for organisation. presentability also gives you greater to confidence to develop your own voice, style and presence, whether your presenting to one or many.
This one day program is on Tuesday May 1.
Here's what one recent participant said:
Phil and Michael bring a wealth of presenting knowledge to the presentability course. I have learnt so much about myself and the next steps forward to improve my presentation skills. Thanks for a great day."
Rebecca Vella, Business Partner, Corporate Relations, RSPCA
With Easter already here, we've extended the earlybird offer until Friday April 20.
Your Event
Rob was recently awarded CSP - Certified Speaking Professional. This is a major achievement, and we wholeheartedly congratulate him. Personally, anyone that can have me eating a daily apple three months after seeing his presentation, leaves an impact. Hence, why Rob is one of our speakers.
Being a CSP gives you the reassurance you have an expert who has been judged by their audience, client and peers (the toughest judges of all) as delivering a standout presentation with lasting benefits.

Carlo. He's the perfect coach for Real Madrid. Calm, classy and most of all less controversial than Mourinho, who behaved like a 3-year old at some points during last season. A huge club like RM needs a calm, quiet man who focuses on his work rather than drama and media.
But how did Ancelotti let go of la liga…. we could of won everything this year………. Copa del rey, la liga and la Champions. Would of been good for Cristiano when time come again for another balon de oro…………

Red Wine Braised Short Ribs with Sweet Corn Polenta and Mushroom Tomato Sauce
I tried out the sweet corn polenta recipe out of Plenty, which was nice, but not necessarily worth the extra effort unless you're trying to use up corn you have on hand. Make some polenta however you do it, with plenty of cheese and garlic, and give the sauce and short ribs a shot. Serves 4.
Ingredients (short ribs):
- 12 small or 8 large short ribs
- 2 cups of red wine
- 2 cups of beef stock
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 1 cup of flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp worscheshire sauce
- Equivalent of 1 bunch of chopped herbs, but mix it up between some thyme, oregano and rosemary
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
Coat the ribs in the flour, and in a pan, brown in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Remove from the pan and sauté the onion, carrot and herbs. Season with salt and pepper, and add the worcestershire. Then add the wine and stock and bring to a simmer before adding back the ribs. Cover and cook on low for 2.5 hours.
Ingredients (sauce):
- 3 tomatoes, diced
- 1 pack of oyster mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small can of tomato paste
- 3 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 cups of water
- 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the ribs (after its cooked for 2 hours)
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
Sauté mushrooms in olive oil and thyme, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes before adding the wine and tomato paste. Stir to combine. Add the cooking liquid, then the water. Cook for 30 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, and serve on the polenta. Top with the ribs and a scoop of the veggies and cooking juices.

Victorinox Navy Snorkel Parka Coat
This brand new release from the Swiss Army associated Victorinox, caught our eye. A somewhat traditional military snorkel style with a light down filling and a genuine coyote fur collar, the interior contains a support strap system for more intense activity.
However, it is that collar which sets this one apart . Real fur aside, it's how it looks zipped up to the top and the silhouette the whole top half creates; A damn nice blend of materials.
As usual, we found this in Stuarts London's new arrivals.

Feelings come and go. People change and grow. Why am I still breathing though? Am I really alive or have I just lost my mind? Watching, wanting and waiting for my time to shine. Broken beaten bruised and battered. Im getting to the point where it all doesnt even really matter. I'll wait but I'm not making it a promise. Because they don't mean a thing anymore. I got these these feelings way too fast I know. Overwhelming me to the point of breaking. And yet again I know I'll be left alone here crying and shaking. Broken hearted and having to mend the new cuts and gashes. Its okay dont worry these memories will soon be turned into ashes. I just want you to know though. No matter your choice just hear me now. That I'm still not going to understand how How I couldn't fight hard enough for this. Why am I so wrong and yet him so right. I wont leave you in the dark, I wont leave you alone and scared. I'll hold you and show you that there really are people who care. But I cant be standing in the dark alone while you have your time to shine. Because Im more than ready for my time to shine. So all I want is for you to be happy and make all the right choices. Listen to your heart and not all the other voices. It knows what you want even when you think its wrong. Now live your life and write your own love song.

It's not love if he makes you cry. It's not trust if he thinks every word is a lie. It's not right to treat someone good and not get the same feeling back. Sweetie, open your eyes, he's not the only guy on Earth. There's millions of guys waiting for you. Don't let him break you.

When I first saw you, you took my breath away. When you first talked to me, I couldn't think. When you asked me out, I couldn't respond. When you touched me, I got shivers all through my body. And when we first kissed, I floated away in my dreams. It's magic each time we hold each other, each time we cuddle, and each time we kiss. I feel goosebumps all over again. I never want to let you go for fear of losing you, so I just hold on a little bit tighter each day, refusing to let go. You will never know the warmth I feel inside me when I'm with you. You're all I ever wanted.

The NTSB's preliminary report, issued last week, on the June 18 crash of an Israel Aerospace Industries Westwind II at Huntsville International Airport in Alabama revealed few clues about what caused the aircraft to bank steeply to the right just after takeoff and crash into an open field near the airport.
AINsafety » July 7, 2014
The helicopter industry in Asia has taken a first step toward tackling unfavorable safety statistics in the region with the creation of the Asean helicopter safety team (AHEST). The new group, representing the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and China, held its inaugural steering committee meeting last month. Airbus Helicopters Southeast Asia hosted the gathering in Singapore, attended by 15 participants representing manufacturers, operators, regulators and customers.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) last week denied a 2013 petition to re-examine the causes of the July 1996 accident in which TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean soon after takeoff from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport. A group called The TWA 800 Project filed the petition, claiming that a "detonation or high-velocity explosion" (possibly a missile) brought down the Boeing 747.
The first satellite-based precision approach system in the southern hemisphere enabled by Honeywell's SmartPath entered service last week at Australia's Sydney Airport. The technology, which is also known as a ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) in the U.S., offers precision guidance to within three feet of the runway centerline.
The FAA last month released Safety Info for Operators document 14009 to explain a new data-gathering system on implementation of safety enhancements to Part 121 air carriers. The informational notice says all data gathered is only for the evaluation of industry-wide safety-related issues and is not intended to reflect regulatory compliance.
The FAA published the document as part of its support for the Commercial Aviation Safety Team (Cast), of which the agency is a participant along with air carriers, manufacturers and aviation labor organizations.
A Fokker 50 freighter bound for Mogadishu, Somalia, crashed July 2 shortly after takeoff from Runway 6 at Nairobi-Jomo Kenyatta Airport in Kenya. The twin turboprop came down in a residential area just over a mile northeast of the airport at approximately 4:15 a.m. All four crewmembers on board were killed in the accident. No casualties were reported on the ground. The aircraft was believed to have been carrying a narcotic plant called Khat.
A preliminary report into a February 20 elevator disconnect incident on a Virgin Australia ATR 72 showed that maintenance technicians at Sydney Airport initially misdiagnosed the extent of the damage that occurred during that February arrival. The twin turboprop was later cleared to re-enter service and flew 13 more trips before severe damage to the tail was discovered in the area where the horizontal and vertical stabilizers were joined.
As of June 26 this year, there were 3,423 wide-area augmentation system (Waas) localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV) approach procedures serving 1,686 U.S. airports. There are also 552 localizer performance (LP) approach procedures in the U.S. serving 402 airports. A complete list of all LPVs and LP approaches is published on the FAA website.
The European Commission is conducting a user survey of an aviation safety initiative focused on possibly revising EC regulation 216/2008 related to common civil aviation rules and the role of the European Aviation Safety Agency. This online survey asks for informed opinions and suggestions to help identify strengths and weaknesses in the current EU aviation safety system, as well as possibilities for improving safety, competitiveness, environmental protection and the quality of air services.
The FAA used International Civil Aviation Organization standards during a recent inspection to determine that Serbia's aviation safety rating should be upgraded to Category 1 from Category 2. Serbia's safety rating had been at Category 2 since 2006, indicating the country either lacked laws or regulations to oversee air carriers in accordance with minimum international standards, or that its civil aviation authority was deficient in one or more areas, such as technical expertise, trained personnel, record-keeping or inspection procedures.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - If you are a Starz subscriber, or Primary DVR customer, your bill will go up one dollar a month beginning August 9th. And if you opt to pay your bill over the phone, it'll cost you five dollars.
Dougherty County commissioners say they are shocked that rates are going up and they don't think Mediacom's service justifies the increase.
"The bottom line is we're not getting what we pay for from a service standpoint," said County Comm. Chairman Jeff Sinyard. "In any business if you're going to raise your rates, you certainly have to provide the service. You certainly have to do the things you're supposed to do to keep your customers happy."
Mediacom sent the notice to increase rates to the county commission, but the commission does not approve rates set by the company.

I have a new W/B O2 and harness that will be used with the system but the F/I system on the car (Bosch L-Jet) uses an input from a narrow band O2. Is there an output on this system's harness that I can use for the ECU or will I need to add a second O2 bong to the exhaust.

Local food, free wine tastings highlight Saturday's Mount Nittany Winery Harvest Festival
Posted by Jamie Oberdick on 10/24 at 09:06 AM
The Mount Nittany Winery is holding their annual Harvest Fest Saturday, Oct. 26 from noon to 5:00 p.m. at the winery in Centre Hall. In their beautiful Mt. Nittany-side setting, you can enjoy free wine tastings, take a winery tour, try free samples (and then buy) local food from vendors, and enjoy live music by Richard and Papa (aka long-time State College musicians Richard Sleigh and Gary Brubaker).
Local food is one of the focuses of the event, along with, of course, Mount Nittany Winery's local wine. You can get a taste of such local, organic goodness as Tait Farm Foods, Clover Creek Farm cheese, Tug Hollow honey, Goot Essa cheese, El Gringo's eclectic take on Mexican food, Gemelli Bakery products, Sweet Heat Gourmet sauces, Stone Meadow cheese, Nittany View Farms, unique winter squash and gourds from The Pumpkin Lady, and MacNeal Orchards.
One of the best things about a visit to Mount Nittany Winery is the fact that it's just a beautiful place, and those attending the event will not only find fantastic wine, food, and music, they will also find a relaxing setting. They have a small lake where attendees can wile away the autumn afternoon, or take a leisurely stroll through the vineyard. There's a stark, shaggy beauty to the vineyard during this time of year and a perfect setting for sampling the winery's Spiced Apple Wine.
The event started in 2003 as an informal get-together among a group of friends, and has grown to one of the area's top harvest festivals. For more information on this event, upcoming Mount Nittany Winery events, and their wines, please go to their website at http://www.mtnittanywinery.com/.

By Wainwright Jeffers - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The Marine Corps Logistics Base hosted a huge yard sale to help military families.
For four hours more than forty military families gathered in the front parking lot at MCLB to sell their items at the Family Readiness Yard Sale.
The public was invited to attend.
Only military families got a chance to be vendors and get rid of some of their unwanted belongings. All proceeds go back to helping base families in the form of offering free child care and facilitating other base volunteer efforts.
"The military environment is very transient in nature and this gives an opportunity for military families to bring some of the stuff out they haven't touched in a while and want to get rid of," said Richard Walker, Family Readiness Officer.
They've been hosting the yard sale for about three years now, Saturday morning they say about 250 people turned out to shop.

Hi all,hope someone can help with this. Sure it can be done.....
I am migrating users home directory contents from Z:\student data\yr11\%username% to h:\student data\yr11\%username%$\
instead of going into the origional location and copying stuff to the new root folder (2000+ folders) is there a way of doing this via a utill or script?
Basically i want all data from within the origional folder into the new withour copying the origional root folder.
hope this makes sence and im not trying to re-invent the wheel !
Many thanks in advance

New London — Police are seeking the suspects in a home invasion and robbery Wednesday morning at the home of a 91-year-old city resident.
Police said an elderly man living on Pacific Street answered a knock at his door and found no one there. Moments later, two masked men entered the home demanding money and valuables while one of the men held a stun gun to the man's neck, police said.
The masked men spent several minutes in the home before fleeing in an unknown direction with a small amount of cash. Police received a 911 call from the victim at 11:20 a.m. The victim was not injured in the incident, police said.
The two suspects are believed to be Hispanic or black men described as tall with slim builds, about 20 years old and wearing dark clothing and ski masks.
Anyone with information is asked to contact New London police at (860) 447-5269 or anonymously text NLPDTip and the information to Tip411, or submit a tip on the department's Facebook page.

Twins-Orioles: Baker could miss next start, but for a good reasonPosted on August 24th, 2007 – 5:26 PM
By La Velle
Twins righthander Scott Baker is scheduled to face Baltimore on Sunday but flew to the Twin Cities this afternoon because his wife, Leann, has gone into labor. If Baker doesn't return in time for his start, look for the Twins to call up righthander Kevin Slowey from Class AAA Rochester for the emergency start.
Slowey is 9-4 with a league-leading 1.73 ERA at Rochester.
The Twins are checking with the league to see if Baker can be placed on bereavement leave so they could just call Slowey up without a corresponding move. There's word that, a few years ago, a team used the bereavement list for player whose wife had twins. In that case, there was some risk involved with the pregnancy. It's unclear if this is a similar situation, but Baker did have to rush his wife to the hospital recently for a pregnancy-related issue. Hope everything turns out well for the Bakers. Scott is a bright guy and pleasant to be around.
Yes, Nick Punto, coming off a two-hit night, is back in the lineup tonight. But Gardy wants to have strong defense at third with the lefty Santana on the mound. How many balls will Punto have hit to him if Santana is sizzling again?
Twins: 1. Casilla, 2B. 2. Bartlett, SS. 3. Mauer, C. 4. Hunter, CF. 5. Morneau, 1B. 6. Cuddyer, RF. 7. Kubel, DH. 8. Tyner, LF. 9. Punto, 3B. Pitching: Santana.
Orioles: 1. Roberts, 2B. 2. Patterson, CF. 3. Tejada, SS. 4. Millar, 1B. 5. Markakis, RF. 6. Mora, 3B. 7. Huff, DH. 8. Hernandez, C. 9. Payton, LF. Pitching: Guthrie.

January 5, 2004
Albany-- Foreign competition was too much for the old plant, and Flint River Textiles will close in March, putting 230 people out of a job.
The first day of business in the New Year was a bitter one for these employees. Tyrone Hall, who has worked at Flint River Textile for four years said "No one like to lose their job."
The Flint River Textile plant opened on Eleventh Avenue in 1909. The current owners bought the plant in 1916, and have been in continuous operation since. They make fabric for furniture upholstery.
Dora Hayes said "Most of the job market, especially textile workers, is going overseas. They can get their labor cheaper over there."
But President Philip McArdle says competition from cheap Asian textiles was too much. The company sales declined forty percent in the last three years, and the firm lost money each year.
Solomon Loud, who has worked there 18 years, said "Our performance was very well. But I think it was very hard to compete with the lower wages overseas."
Does that make you mad? "Yea. I wish we could buy more American and we could provide for our families as well as the overseas manufacturers."
The plant has cut back employee hours in the last months, so many said it was not a shock. Some said it was. Cornelius Jones said "Yea, it was very emotional in there. It was very emotional."
Hall said "You kind of seen heads dropping. People getting discouraged."
Thirty-five-year employee Phillip Harp is unsure about his future" Right now, I just don't know."
Jimmy Varner said "I have no idea." McArdle said the owners want the plant to close honorably, so they will not declare bankruptcy. They will pay all employees for the sixty days before they close, and pay off all suppliers.
Then after 88 years, Flint River Textiles will shut down. Flint River Textile has a yearly payroll of six million dollars.
This closing continues a trend that has devastated the American textile industry, and particularly hurt the South. According to the American Textile Manufacturers Institute, the textile crisis began in 1997.
Since then, more than 250 plants have closed around the country. 200,000 workers have lost their jobs. In Georgia, about 35,000 people still work in the textile industry. But that's down 40% in the last six years.

Jon Gosselin's NYC Apartment Ransacked
According to Heller, Gosselin, 32, discovered a note that was "speared" into his wooden dresser. Heller also says that Gosselin's television, CD player, coffee maker, a Nintendo Wii game and dishes, pots and pans were stolen from the New York apartment, while some of his clothing, luggage and bedding was slashed.
"The greatest damage from this vicious, mean spirited and heartless crime was perpetrated not on Jon's property and possessions, but on Jon Gosselin himself, who experienced a traumatic, emotional, roller coast ride having just shared a joyful family gathering with his children during their Christmas," Heller's statement read.

Protecting Schools with Advanced Access Control Systems
How to understand the needs of your school and secure it with advanced technology
Today, locks and keys alone aren't enough to keep a school's perimeter secure against unwanted or uncontrolled visitors. From problems with non-custodial parents in a grade school to unauthorized residence hall guests on a college campus, controlling access with greater certainty is the first line of defense to keep a facility secure.
Schools and colleges of all types and sizes are becoming more aware of the security risks posed by unauthorized access and are taking proactive steps to prevent a broad range of potentially threatening or dangerous incidents.
In the K-12 field alone, each of the more than 100,000 public and private schools may have between eight and 20 doors that require perimeter security.
Multiple-building college campuses present a more complex situation, with different types of buildings requiring different levels of security.
Not All Security Needs Are Equal
Not every door has to be a controlled entrance, nor is it always necessary to have 100 percent, 24-hour positive control. The doors to a grade school or middle school may be open during the time students are arriving and then locked down during the school day, as well as after hours. Effective access controls and a monitored main entrance provide the required security during school hours, while some form of electronic access control and a secure credential system allow after-hours access for authorized individuals. Other doors can remain locked unless monitored by a teacher or staff member as part of an activity.
A college or university is more likely to use access controls in specialized areas, such as laboratories, computer facilities, libraries and athletic facilities than for general academic buildings, at least during hours of operation. Residence halls and other housing facilities are another area where higher security may be required. Matching the available security options with each specific application is easier with a decision-making framework.
Sorting out the Security Levels
One way to reduce the complexity of security decisions is to organize the key elements into levels that form a Security Pyramid (See illustration #1).
The base of the pyramid, Level 1 (Mechanical Access/Egress Control), represents the fundamental mechanical locking system that restricts free access or egress through an opening. It includes keyed locks and other mechanical products. At this level, security is focused mainly on protection from threats such as theft or vandalism and on providing a physical barrier to intruders, However, if any part of this mechanical base is weak, the higher levels of a system's security can be compromised. It also provides the physical latching needed to secure an opening so it meets fire safety codes.
At Level 2 (Electronic Access Control and Key Management), standalone, programmable, battery-powered locks are networked through software to provide audit trail capability and time-based scheduling for restricting access. Patent-restricted keyways provide the key control that is necessary for high security. This is particularly true for sophisticated electronic systems, which generally still have a mechanical key override. With a patented keyway, a school's administration or university's security department controls the key blanks as well as the key cutting equipment. To minimize security breaches from key misuse, these keys should be tightly controlled, assigned to as few people as possible, and audited regularly.
Level 3 (Networked Access Control and Biometrics) incorporates biometric products that can verify hand geometry, fingerprints or facial characteristics to ensure that only persons who actually are authorized can gain access to a particular door. In a network they may be combined with various sensing and monitoring products placed around the opening or integrated into the latching and locking mechanism to detect, deter and delay an intruder and also signal that a breach has occurred. While not yet widespread, some schools are using biometric access control to eliminate the need to issue cards or keys to teaching or administrative staff members for after-hours access.

(re)desine - Monday Sept. 24, 2007
All FlashMN members are invited to attend (re)desine. This monthly event is scheduled for Monday, September 24, at 8:00pm sharp at The Steak Knife in Dinkytown. Here is a link to directions:
There will be an EXCITING double-header lined up with Pete McCauley and Jeff Abbuzahab (two exceptionally-talented video gurus from the University of Minnesota). With the recent corporate and instructional focus on streaming High-Definition video over the web, and Adobe's confirmation that the new Flash plug-in will support full-screen H.264 video (see http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200708/082107FlashPlayer.html for more information), we will inevitably see an influx of poorly-designed video being "re-glitzed" for HD format, essentially littering the web with larger file-size versions of the same old junk.
Pete and Jeff will cover the process of capturing, editing, and optimizing high-quality (technical and content quality) video from start to finish (with some very cool videos playing throughout the night). For example, Jeff will demonstrate a few of the techniques behind mixing grass-roots videography with Photoshop and looping audio clips to create aesthetically brilliant pieces. For those of you who haven't seen some of the recent Polar Husky videos, or Pete's collection of sea-horse training documentaries, you will definitely be in for a treat! Even if you are not interested in web video, you will definitely enjoy the tone of the evening and the friendly company.
Remember, feel free to bring anyone and everyone (designers and non-designers alike). In the past we have had approximately 25-40 people in attendance, and we are hoping for more this time around. (re)desine is a very informal get-together that is more about having a relaxing night with friends than putting on our profound instructional designer hats. As always, we will have a few door prizes (including all-new (re)desine t-shirts that you won't want to miss) and drink specials throughout the night. The event typically lasts about an hour - however, feel free to stay after and meet some new friends!
Hope to see everyone next Monday at The Steak Knife! Check out the newly re-designed www.redesine.com for more info (actually it's less info, but now you have the link again!).

Hello people of this site! Been browsing here for awhile now and decided to make a sketchbook of my own. I'll try to post daily but I'm only 16 and school is comin' up so I'm gonna be very busy.
These few are just some fast sketches I made with no refs. Not gonna post a lot of digital works though, I only just got a tablet a few weeks ago and I'm not very good with photoshop... Yet...

Just practice with photoshop using the hulk, not too happy with how the face turned out.
Just more random sketches, I should really do something different...
I'm pretty impressed by what you accomplished without reference. I like the loose gesture aspect of your sketchwork. The poses are fluid and unified, not to mention you've got a pretty good handle on proportion. Comic book muscles always blow me away, and I'm too inexperienced to offer crit, but they look awesome to me XD. The only thing I can think of is maybe on the girl on the second page with her hands on her beltloops. Maybe tilt the torso or thrust her hip out a little more to make it more dynamic? Your posework alreaddy makes a nice statement, but tweaks and exaggeration can help make a bigger impact especially when it comes to comics.
The kactaur made me lol a bit XD
great so far keep going

al., 1991) from the Seymour Island area; recycled palynomorphs from around the Antarctic coast (Truswell, 1983); leaves (e.g., Birkenmajer and Zastawniak, 1989; Li and Shen, 1989), wood (Torres and LeMoigne, 1988), and palynomorphs (Stucklik, 1981; Lyra, 1986; Torres and Meon, 1990) in the South Shetland Islands; and palynomorphs in Middle Eocene ODP samples in the South Orkney region (Mohr, 1990), close to 60°S. Terrestrial dispersal corridors that linked Antarctica with the other austral land masses were severed by the Late Eocene, keeping Antarctic plant taxa from emigrating northward, and preventing active immigration to Antarctica.
The Oligocene epoch, during which major tectonic and climate changes of lasting effect took place, saw a drastic reduction in vegetational diversity. For Early Oligocene Nothofagus-fern and fern bush floras on King George Island, Birkenmajer and Zastawniak (1989) suggest MAT of 11.7 to 15°C and rainfall between 1220 and 3225 mm. Also on King George Island, leaf floras of Oligocene-Miocene age suggest Nothofagus-podocarp conifer forest communities with possible MAT of 5 to 8°C and rainfall of 600 to 4300 mm (Birkenmajer and Zastawniak, 1989).
In the Maud Rise area (ODP 113 material), late Early Oligocene palynomorph assemblages contain no terrestrially derived spores or pollen (Mohr, 1990), implying possible ice cover or greatly reduced vegetation on adjacent East Antarctica.
In the Ross Sea area (close to 70°S paleolatitude), Late Oligocene material (from Deep-Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) site 270) indicates that a Nothofagus-dominated cold temperate forest, with Proteaceae, conifer (Podocarpus), Myrtaceae, and rare ferns still existed, despite evidence for sea-level glaciation. Also in this area, other drillholes penetrating Oligocene sediment (MSSTS-1, CIROS-1) recovered evidence of mixed Nothofagus-conifer forests, with other angiosperms also present (results summarized in Truswell, 1990). Mildenhall (1989, CIROS-1) suggested that the coastal fringes of the Ross Sea supported a Nothofagus forest with podocarps, Proteaceae, and other shrubby angiosperms. Upper Oligocene sediments in CIROS-1 contain a leaf (Hill, 1989) that resembles Nothofagus gunnii, an extant deciduous alpine Tasmanian species. Clay mineralogy, together with the fossil evidence, is consistent with a cool or cold temperate environment, and temperate rather than polar ice is indicated (Barrett et al., 1989).
There is at present no good information on Miocene Antarctic vegetation; however some elements of the earlier flora must have survived in sheltered coastal refugia during major glacial advances. Wood and pollen remains, albeit reflecting a stunted, very depauperate flora, have been found near the head of the Beardmore Glacier in Pliocene glacial deposits now at 1800- to 1990-m elevations (Webb et al., 1987; Harwood, 1988). The wood is from a shrubby Nothofagus similar to extant species in Tasmania (N. gunnii) and southernmost South America (Carlquist, 1987), and the palynomorph assemblage contains only a few taxa, among them Nothofagus (fusca group), a podocarp and pollen resembling herbaceous Labiateae or Polygonaceae (Askin and Markgraf, 1986).
Southern Cretaceous floras are notable for their high latitude origins of major southern clades. In contrast, ancestral forms for all major northern clades (e.g., families) occur first at lower latitudes (Spicer et al., 1987). This contrast is due to differences in continental configurations and resulting differences in biotic stress.
The early (Cenomanian) diversity of angiosperm, and particularly platanoid leaf forms, in the northern latitudes was at the generic or lower level. Diversity at the family level was low. These trends are a function of evolutionary novelty, coupled with hybridization and polyploidy, giving rise to morphological intergradation (Spicer, 1986). Vast land areas surrounded the North Pole through the Late Cretaceous to Cenozoic, facilitating migrations to and from the polar latitudes. Thus, new taxa were exposed to broad selection pressures, suppressing development of polar specialists.
In the high southern latitudes, Antarctica remained in the polar position and was connected to lower-latitude land areas by relatively restricted dispersal corridors. The Antarctic plant communities were thus buffered to a certain extent from the competitive stress of invading taxa. Changing climatic conditions in this relatively isolated region would favor origin of specialists adapted to the changing environment, and low competitive stress would allow these specialists to become established. Major evolutionary innovation started in the Santonian and peaked in the Campanian-Maastrichtian. The increased rate of evolution coincides approximately with the end of the "Cretaceous quiet zone" (Harland et al., 1982) at the Santonian-Campanian transition and, more importantly, occurs during the Late Cretaceous cooling.
In fossil floras, evergreen habit is recognized from the thick coriaceous nature of leaves and diagnostic (thick)

I used video inspector to identify that i need the divx 5 codec everything seems to be fine but i still cannot play the file.. i downloaded it from ares and the video inspector says the movie is not complete. So every time that I try to open the file with windows media player it says the file is corrupt/and or not supported. *file Type* Please help
WMP won't play incomplete avi's. It's something EVERYONE hates and that microsoft won't fix.
I suggest playing the file with a different player such as avipreview or media player classic instead.

Hi Lewis,I'm sorry you're finding the code diflfcuit to follow. The reason for using an include file in this particular case is to make the code more modular. It's designed to work with any multi-page form regardless of the number of pages or what they're called. As a result, you need to work with variables, which can make the code more diflfcuit to understand. However, it's relatively simple.As the book explains in step 3 on page 274, $filename contains the name of the current page, and $current contains the full URL of the current page. The PHP str_replace() function takes three arguments: the value you want to replace, the value you want to use instead, and the original string that you want to alter (the target string ). So, if $filename is multiple_01.php and $nextPage is multiple_02.php, $redirectNext = str_replace($filename, $nextPage, $current); stores the full URL of multiple_02.php in $redirectNext.You're not overwriting the current page, you're passing its URL as an argument to str_replace() to create the URL of the next page. If it helps you to understand the code better, use echo to display the value of each variable. Doing so will prevent the redirect from being executed, but once you understand what each variable is storing and how str_replace() works, the code should become clearer.Now, to your second point:if ($filename != $firstPage !isset($_SESSION['formStarted'])){ //redirect code;}As it explains on page 274, basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) gets the filename of the current file, and stores it as $filename. So, when the first page is accessed, the value of $filename is multiple_01.php. When the second page is accessed, it's multiple_02.php, and so on. Consequently, on the second page, $filename and $firstPage will have different values. And if $_SESSION['formStarted']) doesn't exist, you know the first page of the form hasn't been filled in, so the script redirects the user to the first page.Finally, the meaning of this line:$temp = is_array($value) ? $value : trim($value);$value contains the value of the current element in the $_POST array. In most cases, this will be a string, which can safely be passed to trim(). However, when the form submits a checkbox group or a multiple-choice list (see PHP Solutions 5-9 and 5-11), the values are sent as an array. The trim() function generates an error if you pass it anything other than a string or number. Using the ternary operator makes sure that arrays are assigned directly to $temp, but all other values are first stripped of leading and trailing whitespace.I hope those explanations clear up the mystery for you. When I wrote the first edition of PHP Solutions, I agreed with my editor to leave out explanations of the more complex parts of the code, because it was common for readers to just want to copy and paste the code. But I'm delighted that people like you are probing more deeply into the meaning. If the book ever goes to a third edition, I'll take more time explaining the reasoning behind the code.
My brother downloaded codec and still cannot play Xvid films. Can anyone help with this problem?
