I am writing in response to the recent letter regarding the post office closing times. I, too, had a similar experience at the Northwood station.
It was approximately 20 minutes before closing time on a Saturday. There was a man in the lobby telling people if they didn't have business that could be conducted in the lobby such as the stamp vending machine or post office box that they would have to leave and come back another time since they would be closing soon.
I had a couple of parcels to mail and stamps to purchase. Needless to say, I left without being able to conduct my business. I sent my parcels via UPS and bought my stamps at Scott's.
For an organization facing the challenges that the post office has, it seems a poor time to be alienating their customers and turning business away.

Chocolove's Chocolatour bars show the country of origin of the beans, the harvest year, and the percentage of cacao of each bar. The reverse side of the package tells more about the chocolate, including the type of bean used (São Tomé is made from a variety of Forastero bean; Grenada from the Trinitario bean; and Java from Java Whites, a variety of Criollo bean.)

Understanding Prestige Chocolate
Single Origin...Semisweet vs. Bittersweet...65% vs. 75%
What Does It All Mean?
What used to be a simple, pleasurable act—buying a chocolate bar—can now be as complicated as selecting a bottle of wine. If you haven't yet figured out the brave new world of prestige chocolate, as fine chocolate is known in the trade, don't worry. This is Chocolate 101 in the form of an FAQ. But you don't get off too easily. There's plenty of required reading:
The good news is, eating is allowed during class. So surround yourself with your favorite chocolates, and start studying. Just one note about caring for your chocolate:
Chocolate is susceptible to temperature, external odors and flavorings, air and light, moisture, and time. The fat and sugar it contains will absorb surrounding odors. Chocolate should be stored in a cool, dry, odor-free place with good air circulation—but never store chocolate in a refrigerator—it's too cold and will precipitate bloom. On the other hand, if you have a wine cave, it's just the right temperature, and humidity too. Many chocolate connoisseurs buy small caves specifically to store their chocolate.
Q. Many fine chocolate bars are now labeled with different percentages of cacao*. What does this mean?
As chocolate connoisseurship has grown, consumers have become more specific in their tastes. Today's knowledgeable chocolate buyer won't ask for a "dark" chocolate bar any more than a wine buyer will ask for a "Pinot Noir." An educated palate will have a preference for specific producers, one or two specific percentages of cacao, and will prefer beans from some growing regions over beans from others.
To get back to your specific question, the percentage of cacao is literally the percentage of cacao in the processed chocolate. This is also referred to as the cacao content. Since a bar is largely made up of cacao and sugar**, the higher the percentage of cacao, the lower the sugar content. (That's why milk chocolate, which has the lowest percentage of cacao, is so much sweeter than dark chocolate.) The less sugar, the more pure the cacao flavor and intense flavor of chocolate.
The latter two groups are both considered "dark" chocolate, but this is a consumer term rather than a trade term.
One hundred percent cacao content bars, which have zero sugar, are delicious to those who enjoy the intense chocolate experience. They are not to be compared to baker's chocolate, which is also 100% cacao but of a commercial grade. As an analogy, think of a fine wine compared to "cooking wine."***
*We use the proper industry term cacao instead of the American term cocoa, which was a transposition of letters, probably on a ship's manifest, in the 1700's. The word cocoa is properly used to describe the hot drink made of cocoa powder. See the Glossary of Chocolate Terms for a detailed explanation.
**Chocolate is made of cacao, sugar, vanilla, and lecithin. As the latter two ingredients occupy minor percentages, that which is not cacao is largely sugar. Thus, as the cacao percentage increases, the amount of sugar decreases. Milk chocolate also contains milk: the higher the cacao concentration, the less milk and sugar. Lower-grade commercial chocolate can be produced with less than 30% cacao: this is often the product that imparts only the flavor of sugar.
***Products called "cooking wine" should never be used. The alcohol dissipates the during cooking process and all that is left in the food is the flavor of the wine. In the case of cheap cooking wine, this is not quality flavor. Never cook with any wine you wouldn't drink.
Generally, 1% or less is vanilla and soy lecithin, an emulsifier; the rest is sugar (a milk chocolate bar has about 20% milk solids). Thus, 29% of a 70% cacao bar would be sugar. However, it is important to note that the percent of cacao includes not only the cocoa beans, but any added cocoa butter. Fine chocolatiers often add more cocoa butter how the chocolate flows and melts; and it provides a smoother mouthfeel.
Q. Are all bars relatively the same, then, given the same percentage of cacao?
No, just as not all 100% Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay wines are the same. The quality of a chocolate, as any manufactured or prepared food product, is determined by both the ingredients and preparation. With chocolate, as with wine, the quality starts with the root stock—i.e., the quality of the tree producing the fruit. While Criollo and Trinitario beans generally produce a finer chocolate than Forastero, there are some superb subspecies of Forastero and there are many hybrids.
In sum: Don't focus on the pure "scores": 70% isn't necessarily better than 65%.
†This describes an end-to-end large commercial production. Chocolate is also made into large blocks which are sold to smaller chocolatiers who do not buy and roast their own beans, but buy the couverture from the chocolate manufacturers and melt it (and often blend it, or have the manufacturer custom blend it for them) to make their own bars and enrobed and molded chocolates.
As consumers grow more knowledgeable, more companies will begin labeling their bars by bean type, probably by developing specific lines to showcase the beans. Valrhona was the first to introduce the concept. In the 1980's, they produced the first vintage year, single origin chocolate bars, where all of the beans (Trinitarios) came from a single domain, the plantation of Gran Couva in Trinidad. They subsequently introduced four other bars in what they call their Grand Cru series, emulating the wine domain designation. Michel Cluizel, Pralus and El Rey also make bars identifiable by origin and bean.
In the United States, Scharffen Berger and Guittard produce single origin bars. The first company to present bars in an educational fashion, promoting not only the percentage of cacao but the origin and harvest year of the bean, is Chocolove. Their limited edition Chocolatour bars (see photo, top left) also include tasting notes on the wrapper.
‡For an explanation of the different bean types, see the Glossary of Chocolate Terms.
Q. So, single origin bars are not necessarily all one type of bean?
Correct. A single origin bar can be one single variety of beans; or it can be a blend (e.g. Criollo and Forastero). "Single origin" simply means that the chocolate was made with beans from one particular area or region; and implicitly, has the flavor characteristics of that region. A bar that is not single origin is called a blended bar, no matter how many different varieties of beans it contains from how many different regions of the world. The correct term for a "regular" bar, one that is not single origin, e.g., is a blended bar.
Q. Are single origin bars better than blended bars?
They are more complex in flavor, and thus of more interest to the expert or aspiring expert. Chocolate connoisseurs will compare single origin bars to the house's blended bar of the same cacao percentage, as well as to single origin bars from the same origins, made by different producers.
It is important to note that "complex" does not necessarily mean "better." Many people don't enjoy complex bars because they want the pleasure of eating a good, basic, undemanding chocolate bar. Single origin bars demand analysis and attention. As an analogy, think of enjoying a glass of young red wine, bursting with ripe fruit, that tells you all about itself at first sip; versus a complex, layered wine that requires you to keep reaching to identify flavors. The first is pure drinking enjoyment, the second is an analytical exercise that provides pleasure to those who enjoy the exercise.
To drill down further:
Click here for a discussion of the varying flavors of cacao by region.
Q. Do people really eat 100% cacao bars with no sugar? Isn't that like eating baking chocolate?
There are more than a few connoisseurs who enjoy eating 99 percent and 100 percent bars. The intimacy of getting that close to great cacao is quite exciting. Try the 100% bar of Plantations Arriba. It is made from the Nacional or arriba bean, which has a higher natural sugar content than other varietals. Thus, even though there's no sugar in the bar, it has an innate sweetness. You can find it at echocolates.com. Try it plain, with coffee, with cognac or Cabernet Sauvignon, and compare it to their 90% bar. It's the Chateau Latour of chocolate, i.e., it's not for everyone, just for people with very serious palates. But even those who don't crave it should experience it. Other companies make 99% bars. If you see a good manufacturer with a 90%, 99% or 100% bar, try it! But, this is not like supermarket baking chocolate, which is made from the cheapest beans. See the next question.
Q. What's the difference between baking chocolate I get at the grocery, and baking chocolate or "couverture" from Valrhona or Scharffenberger?
Valrhona and Scharffenberger are two of several top chocolate producers that makes its couverture available to consumers—they tend to be more better-known names because they have good retail distribution. The difference between the baking chocolate on the supermarket shelves and the fine couverture that a top pastry chef would use (e.g., Valrhona and Scharffenberger) is quality of ingredients. It's analogous to buying a chocolate bar at the newsstand and a chocolate bar at a fine chocolate store—e.g., a Hershey bar or a bar of Valrhona chocolate. There's a serious difference in texture and flavor when you eat the two bars. The same difference will come out in your baking.
Q. I hear discussions of chocolate that sound like discussions of fine wine. Is this pretentious or legitimate?
In key aspects, chocolate is as complex as wine. If you look at our guide to the flavors and aromas of chocolate, you will find many common descriptors. Also, cacao beans, like grapes, have acidity that is noticeable and important to the structure of the product. And the better chocolate producers are following the path of winemakers to plantation-specific beans that show distinctly different qualities in the chocolate, and are even beginning to indicate harvest years. Here is an analogy:
Fine chocolate should not be stored in a refrigerator. Chocolate prefers a cool, dry place away from light. The cocoa solids and cocoa butter emulsion remain stable when the chocolate is kept at a consistent temperature between 65°F and 70°F, and at a humidity level between 45% and 55%.
Chocolate is temperamental: it absorbs odors very easily, and it is sensitive to changes in temperature. Moving from cold to warm and back again can cause chocolate to develop a grayish-white "bloom" on the surface. That's the cocoa butter separating out from the chocolate. It still tastes fine and it's safe to eat, but it mars the appearance. Find a cool place to store chocolate. The ideal place for both temperature and humidity is a wine cave or refrigerator. Many collectors buy small wine caves to store their bars. Why collect and store bars? To enjoy and compare pieces of different fine bars over time, just as with fine wine!
Plain chocolate bars can be stored for a year or more, wrapped well in foil and kept in the right "wine cave" environment (or a similar cool, non-arid environment).
If you have more chocolate than you'll be able to consumer in the short term, can freeze it, but it should be well-wrapped and placed in an air-tight container to protect it from humidity and odors. When you are ready to eat it or bake with it, let the chocolate thaw in the container until it reaches room temperature. This will keep it dry and bloom-free.
Q. How long can I store chocolate?
Bar chocolate can be kept for a year or even two, under ideal conditions—wrapped tightly in foil and in the right temperature and humidity. Dark chocolate keeps longer than milk and white: as with fillings and nuts, the milk component will begin to break down while sugar, cacao and cocoa butter have a more indefinite shelf life. The industry is moving to expiration dates but a chocolate will be excellent for at least 6 months beyond and fine to eat indefinitely—when it starts to taste a bit dull, you'll know (and can turn it into hot chocolate or chocolate chip cookies). If there is no expiration date, ask at the store; and mark the purchase date on the bar if you plan to keep it for a while.
For filled chocolates and truffles from boutique chocolatiers, the best advice is not to buy more than you'll eat in a week or two. If you're given a box, don't hoard it, share it. The finest chocolates are not made with preservatives and should be consumed within two weeks. They'll still be edible in a month, but the centers will have started to break down and won't be as flavorful, even if the surface chocolate looks good. Fine artisan chocolates are often made with such complex flavors (Chinese Five Spice, Raspberry Tarragon) that the full nuances start to dissipate after just three or four days. If you are purchasing them directly, ask the chocolatier about the peak eating time: you may want to buy less at a time and come back more often. If you receive chocolates as a gift, you don't know when the giver purchased them, so the best advice is to start enjoying them at once.
Commercially marketed brands of chocolate like Godiva and Neuhaus contain preservatives and have a shelf life of several months.

We always look forward to 10 Crosby's lookbooks, season over season. Our reasoning is simple: It's daring without looking wacky, familiar without being boring, and high-fashion without being unaffordable. Basically, when Derek Lam says "Jump!," we say "Okay, but can we do it in those paneled pants?"For resort '13, Derek Lam continued on this course, presenting a stellar collection of smart, whimsical sportswear. That said, the lineup featured one particularly perplexing look involving a floral-printed dress worn over a wide-legged pair of pajama pants. Formal pajamas and skirts-over-pants ensembles are both trends we've finally embraced, and Derek forces us to think about whether we'd be willing to try them at the same time.

With those wins, the Bucs remained unbeaten in Southern Conference play and hold sole possession of first place in the league's North Division with a record of 7-0 SoCon, 15-4 overall. With a game-high 25 points and four rebounds, Wadood led the Bucs to a 75-70 win over Davidson on Jan. 21, hitting on a career-high four 3-point goals. Against Appalachian State, Wadood picked up his 24th career double-double with 12 rebounds and 18 points. For the week, Wadood scored 43 points and had 16 rebounds, while converting on 16-of-28 field goals - going 6-of-10 from 3-point-range. In addition, he registered six assists, four blocked shots and four steals. Heading into tonight's game at home against Wofford (7 p.m. tipoff), Wadood is leading the team in scoring (15.3 ppg) and rebounding (8.3 rpg). The Bucs will also play this week at Western Carolina (Jan. 31, 7 p.m.) and host UNC Greensboro (Feb. 2, 7 p.m.).

Excellent! I haven't had crepes like this since I was little. I added an additional 1/4 cup of milk though which thinned the batter out and made it easier to make thin crepes. I read the other reviews and it sounds like they may just have their pan too hot. Start off low with just enough butter to coat the pan well. The gradually increase the heat and again decrease if it starts to turn the butter brown quickly. Reapet the bit of butter on each crepe that is cooked. This helps it get it's outer edge crispness without being dry. Yummy!
I liked this recipe, but I'd make a few changes... I like an eggier, softer, sweeter crepe. I'd add an extra egg or more milk to make it less tough; a tsp. of vanilla to give it a really good flavor; and I used about double the batch and a 1/2-3/4 cup for each batter. I like the big crepes! All in all, pretty good!

Iv'e never had crepes before, but I really liked this recipe. One problem I had was that the first crepe used all the margarine and the skillet was too hot then to add more. Maybe butter works better.
This is a very simple and easy recipe. I found the batter a little too thick so added some extra milk. They didn't have a strong taste which means this recipe works well for both sweet & savoury (I made savoury ones).
nice and simple recipe! VANILLA IS A MUST! it makes them perfect! i like to spread them with nutella, YUM
These are so tasty, I personally topping them with chicolate sauce. It is so easy and it is really worth it! You have to make sure that they are REALLY thin, or else they will end up being pancakes. Try not to tear the mini-pancakes.
Finally I can make a wonderful crepe! Thanks for the recipe. I was very happy not to have to set the batter in the fridge for 2 hours to two days as some other recipes call for. The crepe itself has a very nice texture and appearance and was very easy to work with.
Simple, easy and tasty. Nice recipe. The only thing I did was reduce the amount of butter put into the pan. First crepe turned out horribly deformed (still tasty though).

Hi Guys (and girls).. I am new to this PHP and self taught so please be gentle with me..! I have a system I created at work where clients can log in and view their advert online, they log in with a unique contract number and then the PHP script looks for the advert within our FTP (that we uploaded) and it plays their advert, the advert could be either an SWF or MP4. The problem I have is if they are viewing on an iPhone we have to supply an MP4 beauce they can't see the SWF (flash file), the MP4 is a huge file and takes too long to load where as the swf is vertially instant. What I want to do is get some sort of media player on the proofing area that handles both SWF and MP4 and streams it rather than waits for it to fully load before it plays it. At the moment i have the advert to appear in an iFrame at 800x600 (actual advert size) and it simply looks for "<?echo $file;?>" ..!! My question is, how do I get the "<?echo $file;?>" to play within a media player (example JW Player)..?
PLEASE HELP (If I have not confused you too much)

Take back your world with color.
Color in furniture, clothing, walls, fences, art, textiles, hair, make-up, and light make a difference in our world. Joe v. The Volcano with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks showed how sick people look with bad lighting. Make-up in malls and stores is sold with the same kind of bad lighting. Going into a store and searching for a color is impossible in places for products but not in Thrift Stores. Home made items are also common in thrift stores. Can commerce learn from the colors in a Thrift store? There are reasons thrift stores are thriving. One reason is colors are more varied than anywhere new things are sold. In the book Authors of the Impossible, 3 men become writers so they can choose their script instead of letting the dictates of others choose their script. Bring in a flower to match the paint at the store, and do simple things to bring color into the life surrounding each of us.

Mar 23 2013: My father turned 86 this past week so I was out of town and spending time with him. He was at a church with all men for a fish fry and I was uncomfortable spending 3 hours with them with their topics. I spent 3 hours in a cemetery at dusk and night fall instead on the same block. This was an old cemetery with few living relatives who put flowers on graves from the church next door. As much art as the cemetery contained, there was little relief from the grey of the cemetery stones and the stains from what may be acid rain. It brought this conversation to life for me. Many cemeteries have bronze instead of stone, and many plants planted, and perhaps trees with color changes with the seasons. A cemetery is for the dead. The colors are for the living, including the grey of the masonry. George-Pierre Serat used circles of color often to make a larger scheme of patterns. Now I shall read what people have written!

Mar 23 2013: I saw in an out of date magazine today how some people put blocks of concrete on top of each other as night stands or temporary seating with stacked concrete. I may be quite satisfied with a plastic 5 gallon bucket upside down. I can get vivid colors by making my own covers for them, or getting something made, or looking. I would be satisfied with a plastic 5 gallon bucket.

I remember my dad (yrs. ago) being tired of the same old white house, so he painted his home a deep forest green with white trim.
He set off a fire storm in our area but after a few weeks everyone nearby were painting their white houses a different color. Blue, yellows, pinks, etc. The area looked like a rainbow gone nuts. I loved it.
To this day, color plays a huge part in my life. I love deep toned wood and dress it up with colors of added items.
Thrift stores use cheap lighting normally and I agree it is much better then what some stores use.
Mar 15 2013: A friend's Mom painted her older house a deep green and had the same response. I didn't get a response after painting my shutters this time. 12 years ago neighbors were upset because I did change my shutter colors. The difference is no one comes out of their houses anymore! They are inside on their computers! I put a bench in the yard by the road, and hope one day someone will sit on it. Maybe if I painted the bench a bright color? The thrift stores I see put all the reds together, the blues together, and it isn't a hodgepodge of colors. The sizes aren't in any order!

Mar 14 2013: I always think stores look cool where everything is white, the walls, the shelves, the floor all white.Apr 10 2013: A park in Georgia is rustic with no color in the winter months. Would it make a difference for there to be a red bench or some other color somewhere? The park is not cheerfulMar 31 2013: Color is said to change the atmosphere and attitude of a city in Algeria. Color can make a person think differently? Overcast days can be changed with bright colors. Uniforms are many times navy blue. Flash mob groups have put the same color combination clothing on as Best Buy, or maybe other stores to confuse the stores. Cars that are white or yellow can be seen at night more easily. Red cars are said to receive tickets more frequently for speeding. So to change one's world, what color changes are personal with people responding to this discussion? This year, as an example, I changed the shutters to Nantucket Blue from Williamsburg blue. I have bright pink benches by the door. I have gold spray paint, and some garden features have been spray painted neon yellow. White dishes were given to me, so now I have a different display for a time until I give them to someone or sell them. I bought flowers the colors that my Mom admired. I framed a colorful poster I printed. The colors I wear have not been addressed. Soon I will change that perhaps.Mar 16 2013: what if we didn't care about color of benches and cities and just focused on improving life of the people in it?Mar 15 2013: where's the idea?
- +1
Mar 16 2013: Color is an idea. Where? I could say Hiram, GA, although I will be in Dothan, Alabama this weekend. The idea is loose. Bring an idea about color to the forum if the color ideas you are reading isn't what you are interested in. So far a few ideas have been presented. White as an option. What if someone painted a city white? What if neighborhoods had sidewalks and benches? What if there were accents of color on shutters and benches and houses and yard art?Mar 15 2013: I happened upon metal bench parts at a yard sale (no wood attached). I spray painted the metal parts a dark green, added wood slats that I had stained & waterproofed a dark shade, added a few hand painted flowers & birds.
It now sits at edge of my lawn too & school kids love to sit oh it. Had to also add a brightly painted trash can near by. You can imagine why.
Having color anywhere in your life brightens it up & helps others too.
Mar 16 2013: I did the same with bamboo and concrete. I cannot paint them yet. The bamboo has to cure. The green is pretty now.Mar 14 2013: All white is unusual, so it is successful. Hospitals used to be all white. Some museums are white inside. Refrigerators used to be white. Mailboxes in my neighborhood are white. Most new homes are painted white. Some people consider white a neutral and also a blank canvas. Vanna White and Barbara Streisand both had all white decors for a while.Mar 14 2013: I was watching the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and heard the character "Miranda" say that the color trickled down from a designer, and that is why the assistant was wearing the colors she wears. Some one I know keeps saying, "you still like blue" as though that is a bad thing.
Changing the colors around makes what kind of difference? Can we improve anything besides a city with color on our own? How so?

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Recently, a couple of locals have been saying that a player may take a re-tee of the box if they don't like the drive (usually right after they shank a drive badly). On occasion it has been alleged that it does not even cost the player a stroke! What's up with that? Now I admit that my Rule book is a year or two old, but I could not find any info on the PDGA website confirming this alleged rule change. Anybody got any information regarding this subject, or are these guys talking out of their butts?

You should see the course I play on Chuck(LOL)! You can check it out here, actually:
Applying this rule can/does/has shaved multiple points off of player's score do to topographical & terrain challenges.
Please believe me when I say that I deeply appreciate your help and authority on this matter (after all, it is you I was hoping to hear from) but, IMO this rule is a boondoggle and should be repealed (or made "Optional" like the 2 meter rule). I just don't see how it contributes positively to the game we all love so much.
I not completely knocking the Optional Re-Throw rule...It does have some decent merit. At least from how I can wrap my pea brain around it. It does consolidate a "what to do option" all in once place for many scenrios. I do think the rules committee should address the... "Just because loophole"
As far as stance violations go....No way should a player be able to call a foot fault on his or her self. Mostly the reason for such a self imposed call is to get a free shot.....hey, i get a mulligan!! I mean really, now I believe in honesty and all that...but really how many are going to call a foot fault on themselves on a putt that just went in and there was a stance violation in the process and the knew it.
With all due repsect, I would say the rule prevents the game on that terrain from being too punitive and/or lucky for competitive rounds, but not necessarily for fun recreational rounds. From a pure game science risk/reward standpoint, I don't believe any throw should warrant any more than the equivalent of a 2-shot penalty unless the player wishes to risk a higher penalty by trying to extract themselves from a tough situation where taking the 2-shot penalty is likely a better percentage play. It's about balance in risk/reward elements in game design.
Point taken!
Both rules need to be looked at and clarified to minimize the opportunity for cheating/taking advantage of the rules - IMO
Yeah Chuck..I'll also add....You always have the best handle on the interpretations of the rules.
And I see your point on what your saying...but I don't necessarily agree....completely. To me, the pure game risk/reward is...Play it where it lies....not in the case of a stipulated OB and personal injury risks. If it's relatively feasible to play from there....get to that lie, of course and again....without risking life, limb or traversing the equivalent of Montana to get there. The player should be required to play it...they threw it there and probably are going to retrieve the errant throw before they move on to the next hole anyways.
We never play it where it lies unlike ball golf so that concept doesn't totally hold up (unless you play our game by kicking your disc along the ground which is allowed). Imagine if we created a new penalty situation where if you threw here it was a 5-shot penalty. Most people would feel that was stupid and too much penalty. Okay, how about 4 shots? Nope, still too much. Okay maybe 3? No, still seems out of line, sort of like a proposal that field goals be worth 5 points in football. Seems like that's too many points for the effort. I think most feel the competitive balance is about right with two field goals being almost equal to a TD.
In the same way, a 2-shot penalty works out to be about the max that makes sense in either golf game relative to the other elements in the game. And ball golf has been at that level for quite bit longer than we have. There are typically more total shots in a ball golf round than in disc golf so a 2-shot penalty is even a bit more punitive in our sport as a percentage of your total score.
I was playing in the Worlds at the CSUMB course and on one of the 'over the baseball diamond' holes, directly into the teeth of a 25+ mph wind, threw it right into a tree with NO playable lie under or behind (15ft). I took a re-throw with a disc more suited for the wind. Of course I missed my birdie putt and took a 5, but my ego was feeling much better. I love the re-throw rule.
In the same round somebody tried to call a foot fault on another player just to give him a free second shot, but we all agreed it would be against the spirit of the game. So there is an example of both rules in question that came up in the same round at the most important tourney of the year.
I made my point...My ADHD is kicking in now..time for others to weigh in..or not.
All I can say to finalize my input on this thread...is we make references to ball golf a lot...in some cases they work...in others, however, they don't. Because...other than the lowest score wins and some similar rules & terms...they are quite a bit different.
Billy Crump did a video demonstrating rule 803.06 on one of the ClashDVDseries videos on YouTube. I wish I could remember which tourney it was, I think it was from the USDGC. He demonstrated a drive into the shule, followed by his thought process on different line to get out of the sticks. Based on his percieved lines it was going to take him 3 to 4 shots to get up and in from where he was at, all because of a shanked drive.
He chose to re-tee, with his second drive finishing in the circle and putted out for a bogey. The penalty of shanking into the monkey cage was worse than throwing into a lake. It would have put him at best, a double bogey, and possibly a trip. Re-teeing seemed fair based on the insanity surrounding his first drive, and it worked well for him, but it was still a bogey.
I think the rule 803.06 is effective and just. Rule 803.04 on the other hand is so people subjective, that it would bare more thought on my part to form an opinion.
Sunday at the "Two Days in May" footage is what your talking about Dook. 803.06 Optional Re-throw. Billy Crump's Rule interpretation is at 29:46 into the video.
If it turns out the original shot is lost or unplayable, then they incur a penalty stroke. I was answering based on the original scenario.

Nah, I think I would much rather be in the position of a phins fan than a Jests fan right about now.

"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Well, plus the blatant hypocrisy of the people in the video posted. They didnt mind the payday that all that gun violence provided did they?
I think I did attack Norris for his crazy Jesus talk. For me it's funny getting lectured by people who themselves probably have more to do with the glamorization and glory of guns, killing and violence. The difference is I'm not trying to take away some of their 1st amendment rights.
I think the point of this thread was the celebrities in that video hypocrisy for calling for more gun control, when they have glorified violence and gotten fame and fortune for doing so.
Celebrities may influence some....but i still think we are all duty bound to think for ourselves. Of course, we may like a celebrity more that shares our views. Hence the reason the Dixie Chicks don't go Platinum anymore and Toby Keith can sing about a disposable cup and make millions
How many of these celebrities have armed guards????
I would respect this message more if it was principled. "That from this day fourth I won't have armed security or do any movies using guns again." Then I might listen.

ICBA Asks FDIC to Extend Comment Period on ILCs
More Time Needed for Adequate Public Input
Washington, D.C. (September 28, 2006)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) urged the FDIC to extend the comment period on regulation and supervision of industrial loan companies and their parent companies an additional 60 days to allow adequate time for all interested parties to submit their views.
"The regulatory, supervisory and policy issues surrounding industrial loan companies and industrial banks are of serious consequence to the underlying fundamental structure, safety and soundness of our country's financial and economic system," said Camden R. Fine, ICBA president and CEO. "Decisions on these issues have the potential to wreck havoc on America's families, small businesses and local communities."
While ICBA commended the FDIC for imposing a six-month moratorium on ILC formations or acquisitions and for asking for additional comments on the issue, the association said the 45-day comment period is too short since it overlaps with the summer congressional recess and a short, busy pre-election session. Published in the Federal Register on August 23, the comment deadline is October 10, leaving little time for Congress and all interested private sector parties to weigh in.
"The ILC issue has engendered unprecedented public interest, as evidenced by the thousands of letters received by the FDIC on individual ILC applications and the interest in public hearings held by the agency earlier this year," ICBA said in a letter to the agency. "FDIC is to be commended for its efforts to reach out to the public throughout this process to ensure all voices are heard."
The Sound Banking Coalition, of which ICBA is a founding member, also requested an additional 60 days. The Coalition consists of financial, retail and labor groups, working to close the ILC loophole to keep big-box stores, like Wal-Mart and Home Depot, out of the banking business.
ICBA has been leading the effort to maintain our nation's long-standing policy against the mixing of banking and commerce. Allowing commercial firms to own banks concentrates economic power, jeopardizes the impartial allocation of credit, and poses serious competitive issues for local merchants. In addition, owners of ILCs are exempt from regulation and supervision under the Bank Holding Company Act, making them a threat to the safety and soundness of our financial system.
ICBA and 33 state banking associations support the Industrial Bank Holding Company Act (H.R. 5746) introduced by Reps. Paul Gillmor (R-Ohio) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.) which would close the ILC loophole in the Bank Holding Company Act, by prohibiting commercial firms from owning industrial banks and ensuring adequate regulation of all industrial bank holding companies.

Other Names for this Disease
- Adhesive arachnoiditis
- Chronic arachnoiditis
- Spinal arachnoiditis
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1]Arachnoiditis describes a pain disorder caused by the inflammation of the arachnoid, one of the membranes that surround and protect the nerves of the spinal cord. The arachnoid can become inflamed because of an irritation from chemicals, infection from bacteria or viruses, as the result of direct injury to the spine, chronic compression of spinal nerves, or complications from spinal surgery or other invasive spinal procedures. Inflammation can sometimes lead to the formation of scar tissue and adhesions, which cause the spinal nerves to "stick" together. If arachnoiditis begins to interfere with the function of one or more of these nerves, it can cause a number of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, and a characteristic stinging and burning pain in the lower back or legs. Arachnoiditis is difficult to treat and long-term outcomes are unpredictable. A regimen of pain management, physiotheraphy, exercise, and psychotheraphy is often recommended. Surgical treatment seem to offer only short-term relief.

Senior Scholar Jeff Schloss Reviews "Faith vs. Fact" by Jerry Coyne in The Washington Post
Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.

Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.

Teresi Gives State Budget High Marks
January 24, 2013
Mayor Sam Teresi is praising much of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's executive budget....
another bum who needs to go
7 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Surprise another community destroyer/socialist happy and supportive on what Cuomo does to destroy New York and the U.S. Constitution, another corrupt bum that needs to be fired! Vote this bum out!!!
5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This is rich. Like Pol Pot giving Mother Teresa's eulogy. The mayor on city council have never put any real effort into the budget, instead always rely on the low hanging fruit (BPU and border communities). Quit patting yourselves on the back and commenting on things that far above your skill level.
6 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
For those that think I am too liberal, I can't stand Cuomo. You should check his record and see what he is doing. Don't bash him because he is democrat. He acts more ********* than most baggers would!
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
teresi thinks the state's budget is great? yeah of course he would seeing it will add just a mere $1 billion to the state's deficit. Sadly, teresi ran unapposed this last term so its hard to vote out someone who does run unapposed.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
Every holiday results in retailers trying to convince customers that their product is the perfect gift for that particular time of year. The folks over at www.techchee.com are no exception, but I think the boys from China have pushed positioning of a product just a bit too far in this post for a Valentine gift idea published on Feb. 6, 2009.
The title reads "LED finger lamps for creepy-yet-romantic night on the Valentine's day". As a haunter, I thought the title seemed promising. Even after I saw the picture of the odd LED fingertips, I didn't dismiss the gadget completely, and thought perhaps they would spin it for people who like weird Halloweenish items (I could see prop and costume potential). But then I read the post that explained why these glowing fingertips would make the perfect gift:
You may wanna create special atmosphere on the Valentine's day. What about getting your girl and you in darkness and show her your green-glowing fingertips? It would probably be the most unforgettable Valentine's night for her.
Confused, slightly uncomfortable, and suppressing the 13 year old boy in my brain who is already stringing together inappropriate off-colour jokes, I keep reading the pitch.
Still pushing on with my Valentine theme, I decided to explore Valentine ideas when it came to presents: traditional gift ideas with a twist. Where better to do this monitor shopping (my term for window shopping online) than www.pushindaisies.com.
The first and most obvious choice is candy in a heart-shaped box. These are gummy hearts, and the front of the box reads "My love is pure, my love is true, you can have my heart and eat it too!". *cough*
If she prefers chocolate, then you can get her a chocolate heart instead; a one pound chocolate heart.
While I'm all for candy, I like jewelry even more (probably because Yetch never buys jewelry for me. Say it with me: awwwww, poor Ghoul Friday). Where was I? Ah yes. I really like the skeleton bracelets, and the coffin earrings aren't bad (but my spidey-sense tells me they might turn my earlobes green).
Zombie Harmony: because the apocalypse doesn't have to be lonely.
This is the slogan at Zombie Harmony's Free Dating Site; a site strictly for the undead. Animated corpses can search through the database, narrowing their selections to fast-moving or slow-moving mates, with or without limbs, ranging from fresh to rotten.
User names include 'Hungry Barbara', 'I_ate_my_family' and 'luvs2cuddle' (who enjoys slow lumbering walks along the beach, and whose interests include staring vacantly).
While the recipe has made the rounds online, I thought I would post it anyway. I originally saw this on yumsugar.com. In honour of V-day, I am resurrecting it from Internet oblivion.
I should note the recipe is originally from Hey There, Cupcake! by Clare Crespo. Here's the recipe:
Ingredients and Tools
20 glass marbles or small balls of tinfoil
1 recipe batter for White Cupcakes (store bought or see below for the homemade recipe)
2 to 3 cups strawberry jelly or smooth strawberry jam
1 recipe Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting (store bought or see below for the homemade recipe)
Red and blue food colouring
Pastry bag and medium round tip (optional)
Ah Valentines. I never was a fan of the holiday, regardless of whether or not I was in a relationship. I'm a firm believer of year-round wooing (for me and my partner) and I don't have much faith in the authenticity of gestures made on February 14th.
Despite my general misgivings, I thought I would dedicate a couple of blog posts this week to the theme of marketed love. Today we'll look at your card options.
The spider card (pictured left) is a product posted on zazzle.com (along with a number of anti-valentines day items, for those interested). They also had a rather nice skull card (pictured right).
I was reminded of a quote today by Georgia O'Keefe: "To create one's own world in any of the arts takes courage." This is true of all genres, but I think the statement has a heavier truth when applied to artists whose focus falls outside the realm of the mainstream; whose subject isn't easily identifiable as beautiful to most people.
All artists have to face scrutiny, and there is a chance that some (if not many) people will dismiss the notion of the artist having talent. But I think it's harder for the haunter or artists whom are more dark at heart, because sometimes people aren't just rejecting your skills, but how you view life, and what you deem to be beautiful (or what you classify as art, for that matter).
I've come across a couple of interesting ideas for serving watermelon at your next bone-bash. The first, a watermelon brain, comes from two sources and seems pretty straight forward.
You can try following scoochmaroo's detailed instructions (her melon brain is pictured right), or Disney's version.
Feeling a bit more brave and artistic? I got a good chuckle when I saw this idea of having the dead rising out of the grave (or melon, as the case may be).
I've tried to find the original source for this idea. I always feel a bit unclean when I post an image or idea without giving credit. Unfortunately, Kim's Halloween Recipes page where I found this image simply label it 'online idea' without a reference. If anyone knows who came up with this little beauty, I'd love to know.
Kris Kuksi is a genius. I can get lost in the tiny details of his sculptures. Whenever I view his work online, I end up leaning forward in my chair, nose close to the glass of my monitor, but I can never see it as clear as I'd like to.
Each piece is like two works of art in one: you have the wide view, like a dark landscape; and then you have all the tiny characters within it.
Luckily, it seems he is coming to the Meta Gallery in Toronto from May 15th to June 14th, 2009, so I will finally be able to see those micro-beauties clearly.
For those of you who aren't going to check out his show in person, you can view his sculptures online. He has a handy (yet finicky) flash application that allows you to zoom in fairly tight on the images.
He has an interesting bio posted on his site, not unlike many stories we've heard before. But there were specific quotes that resonated with me:
A quick post for this snowy Tuesday.
I'd stumbled across Devon Devereaux's work months ago (maybe even as far back as 2007). It's been sitting in my "stuff I have to blog about" folder ever since, sad and neglected.
This image is part of his Perihelion Show, a collection of sketches starring cartoon creatures of the night, many of which have an on-the-road theme.
I picked this picture as my favourite simply because of the small character depicting Mary Poppins.
I always knew there was something fishy about her.
I thought I would share a few videos with you to help fight off the Monday blahs.
First it's the Happy Tree Friends in "Remains to Be Seen". In this episode, the furry creatures deal with the disaster of zombies.
I think my favourite moment is when the manual lawn mower comes out.
You can see more episodes (including some with a Halloween theme) on the official website.
The second flick (below) is a music video brought to my attention by Eve Noir who thought I might like it. And I will admit, it has grown on me.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Girls Just Want To Have Fun: The Best Electro-Pop Songs To Dance To
February 07, 2014 via Pepsi
Girls Just Want To Have Fun: The Best Electro-Pop Songs To Dance To
While pop music has always been the ideal genre for singing in the mirror with a hairbrush microphone, electro-pop makes it all the more danceable. And no disrespect to the guys--but the ladies seem to have both the genre, and the mirror-dancing skills on lock. To soundtrack your next bedroom performance, here are six of the best electronic-pop dance songs out right now.
"Slow Down" - Selena Gomez
"Slow Down" is the second single from Selena Gomez' debut solo album Stars Dance. Although the song's lyrics suggest taking things slow in a relationship, the fast-paced dance track produced by The Cataracs ("Like A G6) is pulsing and up-tempo. The track makes you want to do anything but slow down. So don't!
"Neon Lights" - Demi Lovato
Demi Lovato's "Neon Lights" is a ready-made club hit. The electro-pop track is a welcome break from the X Factor judge's usual mainstream sound. The video is complete with black-lit glowing make up and accessories. Demi hits a rave equipped with glowing lips, eyes, hair and nails. The song shares a name with Demi's world tour, which kicks off this Sunday!
"Miss Movin' On" - Fifth Harmony
After their X Factor success, it's no surprise that Fifth Harmony will be hitting the charts with pop-empowering anthems like "Miss Moving On." The song emphasizes coming alive after a break up with its strong, soulful chorus that instantly makes you want to move (on).
"Overdose" - Little Daylight
New to scene pop band, Little Daylight is hitting hard with their new song and video, "Overdose." The song's pulsating beat flows along with your "heart beating faster." The shimmering synths and whispering then roaring lyrics keep you entranced and on your toes throughout the entire song. Okay okay, it's not strictly ladies--but we felt like it was danceable enough to make the list!
"You're Not The One" - Sky Ferreira
Sky Ferreira becomes a modern-day Blondie with her latest hit "You're Not The One". The unbelievably catchy song features hypnotic rhythms and a wholesome pop lyrics about a night of chasing after love. The colorful, strobe lit, club-set video inspires a night of dancing and solo searching for "the one" with a "lust for life."

Web Design & Development Blog
We're happy to announce that we just re-launched dfusetech.com using Drupal. Check it out at http://www.dfusetech.com.
Often multilingual sites will use URLs contructed with non-compliant country region codes. When using Drupal and i18n / Internationalization, this can be a problem since i18n_hreflang relies on the language codes as set (manually) within Drupal by the webmaster. In such situations it could be preferable to resolve this with code rather than changing the URL pattern.
I just stumbled across this handy tool for generating IANA-compliant hreflang attribute tags;
This is useful on multilingual sites that maintain hreflang tags for associating translations with each other. For example, a page might have the following translations:
<link href="/pe/productos/cereales" hreflang="es-pe" rel="alternate" />
<link href="/bo/productos/cereales" hreflang="es-bo" rel="alternate" />
Also handy:
There may be cases where a site has regional sub-sections or country-specific sub-sections using a non-IANA-compliant code, for example http://www.somesite.com/cz. Well, IANA wants this to be cs-cz, but you probably wouldn't want your URL to be http://www.somesite.com/cs-cz. And if you're using a CMS like Drupal (perhaps with the Internationalization module's i18n_hreflang submodule), it would automatically spit out the tag as:
<link href="/cz/somepath/etc/etc" hreflang="cz" rel="alternate" />
.. and that would make IANA sad, and would cause the HTML to not validate in W3C's Validator.
Using the i18n_hreflang submodule (in the i18n_contrib module, actually), you could override this on a case-by-case basis within the "18n_hreflang_init() " function in i18n_hreflang.module. Right after:
foreach($translations as $lang => $translation) {
switch ($lang){
case "pe":
$lang = 'es-pe';
case 'bo':
$lang = 'es-bo';
case 'cz':
$lang = 'cs-cz';
//etc etc
That overrides the <link> and its hreflang attribute for just a few languages. I did try using a hook in a custom module but could not get it working, so this ended up being a patch of i18n_hreflang.module instead.
There is another module worth mentioning: Alternate hreflang. We have not used this, but it could achieve similar ends, but may also require some similar custom patching to fully validate.
I'm not going to provide a patch file for this since the particular code will need to be customized per site on a case-by-case basis anyway.
We're headed to DrupalCon Amsterdam! Excited to see what everyone's working on.
We are very proud to mention that nnpn.org (National New Play Network) is now in Drupal.org's 'Featured Showcase":
See https://www.drupal.org/node/1708254
To quote Drupal, "Drupal Case Studies are detailed overviews of well-crafted, innovative websites or applications built using Drupal.
SourcingLine identifies top Drupal development firms and displays independent customer reviews.
We're happy to be listed as a Market Leader as of today, and supremely grateful for our customers' glowing reviews.
WordPress is great - we love it and gladly support it. But ... at a certain point it can become difficult to customize things. We consider using Drupal when we sense a customer is likely to exceed WordPress's capabilities, or if WordPress is going to start to become a pain to customize, or if there's a fair chance of needing to customize more things as time goes on. If it's going to be just a basic static site + blog posts forever, WordPress could be just fine. It wouldn't save much in terms of development time though, because getting things set up correctly with WordPress requires more grunt-work / custom coding than we're used to with Drupal. It would be mostly a wash. Some items, like automatic URL redirects, might not even be deliverable in a reliable way if we went the WordPress route. There certainly are WordPress plugins out there such as Simple 301 Redirects that would handle that, but we'm pretty wary of those 3rd-party plugins (having been burned one too many times by some that seemed nice but ended up buggy) and have more faith in the community-tested Drupal modules.
WordPress: Pros: great admin interface, easy to set up. Cons: not terribly granular, and extending its capabilities requires a mix of plugins, which can lead to problems.
Drupal 7: Pros: good admin inteface (can be made great), very extensible, modules ("add-ons") are very well-tested by the Drupal community. Cons: harder to set up and configure than WordPress, theming usually involves custom theming, more resource-intsensive.
I can write a lot about the benefits of Drupal over WordPress .... but here are some things that come to mind:
- Pretty, easy to use, great for blogs and basic sites that don't need too much customization.
- Has a good built-in SEF URLs (search engine friendly URLs) system that's easy to configure and use, as long as you are coo with the same URL pattern for all blog posts / pages.
- Many plugins that can extend its functionality. However, the best WordPress installations rely on < 10 plugins. More than that and you're likely to face some upgrade issues eventually. Choose your plugins wisely.
- Automatic updates. This is a great feature; just make sure you also have a backup system in place in case the automatic upgrade breaks your site. We haven't seen it happen yet, but it could.
- Mobile-friendly admin interface and tons of responsive themes
- Again, it offers loads of plugins and themes, but many of these are commercial and require commercial support.
- Version 3+ is pretty, pretty easy to use
- Can be used as a CMS (mainly) but also for blogging.
- The URL aliasing system still leaves something to be desired. This can be partly overcome with addons like sh404SEF.
- Mobile-friendly admin interface and a decent selection of responsive templates
- Joomla itself is free, but many of the best add-ons are commercial, and require subscriptions in order to keep them secure and up to date. You should be using the best commercial addons because there are many shady third-party add-ons out there, and while free, they will cost you much more in the long run because they will wreak havoc on your site during your next major upgrade. Choose your Joomla extensions wisely!
- Its name is Dutch, meaning "water drop". So that's an advantage over WordPress or Joomla right there. Admittedly, we're biased. Plethora Design's founder, Casper Voogt, was born in Amsterdam.
- Super extensible. At its core is a system of content "types" and fields, so you can design your own content types, whether it's for news, blog posts, products, user profiles, and so on.
- It has Views. Here at Plethora Design we LOVE Views. And it ships as part of Drupal 8's core! You might be wondering what this is. It's a query builder that comes with many display options. You can display a list of content as a table, responsive divs, bulleted list, slideshow, iCal feed, CSV export, and so on. This allows you to reuse content items in a myriad ways, all the while exercising full control over the code output, so that you can style specific content fields discretely. Joomla and Wordpress, by and large, do not offer this granular level of control. It can be added, but takes custom coding to accomplish in most cases.
- Features an awesome ACL / permissions system. It is incredibly granular, such that every add-on can add its own specific permissions as it sees fit. Joomla 2.5 and 3 offer similar ACL controls, though these have been baked into Drupal for over a decade, whereas Joomla is still absorbing these new features.
- A critique of Drupal has long been its seeming lack of good themes when compared to WordPress and Joomla. This is partly true, because Drupal is more developer and enterprise oriented, so there is a certain expectation that the functionality and theme will be custom-built or at least heavily customized. As such, there are not many commercial ready-made Drupal themes out there, but there are some truly wonderful "base themes" such as Zen and Omega, which are the only ones we work with on Drupal sites. The beauty of using such frameworks is that the framework is free, and enables you to leverage a community of many thousands of dedicated developers, versus relying on a commercial entity to provide support. It's a great choice if you need to exercise a great deal of control over layout, but don't want to reinvent the wheel. All the bells and whistles you might see on WordPress and Joomla sites can be done with Drupal, and then some. It's just that Drupal is geared more towards those who have a need to heavily customize workflows, content types, layouts, and so on.
- Out of the three, Drupal has the strictest coding standards. It has unit tests and processes in place that modules (add-ons) must pass before they are approved for general use. There is a spirited community that reviews modules, and as a result Drupal modules tend to be capable of more robust functionality than many (not all!) Joomla / WordPress add-ons. And if you don't like some aspect of the user interface you have the freedom to change it. As they say in Drupal-land, "there's a module for that".
- Debugging Drupal modules is more straightforward. This speaks to how Drupal attracts more developers than either Joomla or WordPress. Drupal has automated testing and patch testing in place to ensure code is up to snuff. This avoids much of the ridiculous forum discusssions on Joomla and WordPress forums, which often involve hard-to-reproduce issues which are subsequently no tracked as bugs. With Drupal, the default position is to track issues as bugs and resolve the in a an orderly fashion that benefits the community at large.
OK, let's be honest. We favor Drupal. But Joomla and WordPress can be very good choices for some projects, and we do recommend these for new projects all the time. When planning a project, just make sure to plan for eventual 'enhancements' and extra functionality, because more often tban not these things will happen.
Out of the three, Drupal may have the highest learning curve, but it does offer the most flexibility in terms of handling any complex requirement you may throw its way. For even greater flexibility you could build your own home-grown CMS, and in many ways that is what Django does, but that is for another post.
This post is probably not news to some readers, but could come in handy for others.
Ever used Drush? If you manage a Drupal site, you ought to. It makes installing modules, clearing the cache, and other tasks much easier.
Say you want to install a module. You could do this:
#: drush dl somemodule
#: drush en -y somemodule
.. but that's two steps. It could be done faster like this:
#: drush en -y somemodule
This works in Drush version 5.9 but not 5.6. I have not had occasion to test with 5.7 or 5.8 and don't know in which version this was introduced.
Drush is psychic and knows that what you REALLY want is to A) download this module and B) install it. It already knows you want to sa "yes" to enabling it since the command includes "-y" in it, so it's not psychic on that count. So.... this one command will download AND enable the module. If you do a lot of module installation, this can save LOTS of typing.
We've been revamping some customer Joomla sites, moving them from Joomla 1.5 to 3.2. The migration process means a move to Joomla 2.5 and a subsequent move to 3.2. It's a bear, but it's worth it. Joomla 3.2's admin interface is far superior to even Joomla 2.5's. I personally LOVE the Isis administrative template. It's mobile-friendly, and pretty intuitive. Much of the mundane, repetitive work of managing articles, modules, etc. is now much easier. Batch processing has been made available throughout.
Now the bad: if you want to be able to add custom content fields you will still need to use something like K2 (getk2.org), Zoo, Seblod, etc... see http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/authoring-a-content/content-construction. K2 is the only one we have used and could recommend. The lack of CCK within Joomla core is indicative of Joomla being more of an out-of-the-box CMS than a 'framework'. Drupal has had CCK built-in since its inception, and has very powerful entity handling for individual fields. Each field can be formatted and displayed differently, and this can be done via an admin interface (using default Structure > Content Type > Display, or using Display Suite), or by custom-coding the display in your template (TPL) files, or using custom display formatters (plugins). You can even combine data from several fields into one, using Computed Field.
Drupal 8 is still in the works, and promises full mobile support as well as editing-in-place, with no need for page refreshes. If you don't want to wait for eight, you can install the Edit module .. see https://drupal.org/project/edit. I'm not yet sure how this interacts with the Autosave module; it may not save auto-saves the same way as before.
When editing a web page and adding a link, what happens when the target URL changes? Your links breaks. To some extent you can use the Internal Links and Link Checker modules (see our earlier post, "Drupal link tools for improved editorial workflow and SEO"). Those are handy for external links especially. But what about linking to Drupal nodes? The ideal setup would be to use only internal links, e.g. "node/123" and never link to aliases, such as "about-us" or "/about-us". The reason being that if you linked to your About page using "about-us" or "/about-us" and later on you decide to change its alias to "about", your link to this page will break. You can use Link Checker to track this down, but it would be even better to not have this issue arise in the first place. You can avoid this by using only internal links. You can build this into your editing workflow using the following combination of modules:
- CKEditor - https://drupal.org/project/ckeditor
- CKEditor Link - https://drupal.org/project/ckeditor_link. Make sure to edit the CKEditor settings AND your text format(s) to enable the CKEditor Link plugin. Otherwise your links may still get displayed as "node/123" even if you selected your path using the CKEditor Link too when editing the page.
- Pathauto - https://drupal.org/project/pathauto - creates automatic paths based on the node title. Can also be configured to set custom paths based on the content type, and other more advanced options (using tokens). These are called Patterns. In Drupal 7 see admin/config/search/path/patterns.
- Redirect - https://drupal.org/project/redirect - handles automatic redirection, for example when you change a node's alias from "about-us" to "about". Then then old alias "about-us" will redirect to "about".
- Global Redirect - https://drupal.org/project/globalredirect - redirects any node/123 style paths to their corresponding aliases, if any exist.

I have used Jean Nate' for 53 years and still love it. I credit this fragrance with capturing my husband's heart and keeping it for over 50 years. He loved this fragrance as much as I did and would nuzzle my neck just to get a stronger wiff. At least that was what he claimed. LOL. I, too, wish that Revlon would bring back the bath oil and bath salts. I use the splash and spray all over my body and spray my clothes and hair too. I am always getting compliments on how great I smell. I use the dusting powder after my shower and on the mattress pad when I change the linens for a fresh scent every time you turn over. Jean Nate' has a fresh, clean unobtrusive scent that one never tires of smelling. It is a classic!

Wool & Cashmere Throw 28 28
IT'S ONLY 5% CASHMERE the web site does not disclose the fibers used. 5% cashmere? it's a wool throw. I am so disappointed that I am writing my first online review EVER. The color is great, but the softness is just not there, and it pills. SO DISAPPOINTED. November 19, 2014
Makes a great gift I love mine. It's my go-to gift for good friends' special occasions. August 22, 2014
Very Pretty Color The color is very pretty and matches the way I thought it was. Coming out of the package it was perfect but after just 1 day of a cat laying on it, it didn't look nice and new any longer. I was disappointed that it was so easily snagged. However, overall I really like this, it's a great weight for cool summer nights. August 3, 2014
snuggly soft, light, warm - just what's needed to enjoy a nap, or good read in a cool room April 15, 2014
Gelato Throw Purchased the throw in gelato, thinking it was a pink color with slight orange undertone. This throw is firmly in the orange camp. Disappointed & returned it. February 18, 2014
luxurious I was very pleased with the quality, feel and weight of the cashmere in this throw . Would love to have it in all the colors! February 5, 2014

Please describe (specifically) the difference in colors between the Gelato and the Hibiscus.
One looks rather pink and one looks rather coral, but it is hard to tell more than that. For example, is the pinkish one more of a raspberry? Is the coral one a true coral? Are they muted shades in person, or designed as bright accent colors?

Answer:The two colors are vastly different with the Hibiscus being a deep pink (lighter than raspberry) and the Gelato is an orange coral with no pink hue. They are definitely bright accent pieces and not muted tones. Please note that swatches can be requested through Customer Service if you wish to compare these colors in your home.

Long before recently I noticed Innovas disc chart getting full.
Does anybody know what Innova plans on doing when their chart is filled up?
Will they ever make new molds at /12 / 5 / -1 / 3/ or is the Destroyer claiming
that spot on the chart forever?

Does anybody know what Innova plans on doing when their chart is filled up?
That's when Dunipace retires ;-)
people can do what ever they want. they keep coming out with these pointless golf discs just to fill up their colorful chart. but hey, nothing about that hurts me in any way.
everybody wants this shit to hit main-stream.
while everybody at the top obviously wants to keep it the way it is.
dont tell me ping pong and poker can be televised but disc golf cant.
maybe thats not what its "all about".
fuck off.
I like the discs that come out and are unique, like the Vulcan and Katana, but I wonder if there is really a need for the Destroyer and the Boss when the Wraith is already there. Same goes for the Archon when the Beast is there.
I'd like to see a new plastic, a polymer like GW's Evo plastic. I'd also like to see the designs of the DX discs carried over to the Star plastic as an option. That minotaur dude on the DX Beast gets me pumped to throw. The Archangel just looks like a gay Valkyrie, but that's why they don't make it in Star, right? lol
