mysql_query() also returns a resource for "OPTIMIZE TABLE" statements!
mysql_free_result — Free result memory
This extension was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
NULL to the PDO object, or PDOStatement::closeCursor()
mysql_free_result() will free all memory
associated with the result identifier
mysql_free_result() only needs to be called if you are concerned about how much memory is being used for queries that return large result sets. All associated result memory is automatically freed at the end of the script's execution.
The result resource that is being evaluated. This result comes from a call to mysql_query().
TRUE on success or
FALSE on failure.
If a non-resource is used for the
result, an
error of level E_WARNING will be emitted. It's worth noting that
mysql_query() only returns a resource
for SELECT, SHOW, EXPLAIN, and DESCRIBE queries.
Example #1 A mysql_free_result() example
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people WHERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
/* Use the result, assuming we're done with it afterwards */
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
/* Now we free up the result and continue on with our script */
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['email'];
For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_freeresult()
mysql_query() also returns a resource for "OPTIMIZE TABLE" statements!
Using this function may actually increase the amount of memory used. In my case, the script used 208 bytes less memory when *not* using mysql_free_result().
Check for yourself: call memory_get_usage() at the end of the script.
yes this function may increase the memory usage if you use unbuffered querys and if you have not fetched all the data from mysql. in this case the mysql api has a problem: you want to free the result but do not want to close the connection. now mysql will only accept another query if all data has been fetched, so the api now must fetch the rest of the data when calling mysql_free_result().
so only use unbuffered querys if you fetch all the data (and need it).
If you're seeing warnings like "Warning: Unknown: 6 result set(s) not freed. Use mysql_free_result to free result sets which were requested using mysql_query() in Unknown on line 0" and want to turn them off, set mysql.trace_mode = Off in your php.ini
You not need to use this if you are using PHP 4.
The comment below this comment may explain why it's actually costing more memory.
I agree with Joachim Kruyswijk (posted on 14-Jun-2005 11:42). I just did the test on my beta version of my new site (who needs to get dynamically news and user login from a database) and i use 1000kb less memory when i do not use mysql_free_result. I guess it is because the data it needs to load are not that large (for news: date, short description and for the user login: username, password). It may only be in the user control panel that it will be more, but since that isn't developed totally yet, i'll have to test :p
yes, i encountered that too. as far as i could tell, that's because the script is stored in memory after being compiled and that's as much more memory as it needs for a call to that function.
if you always get lotsa data in your results, using this function will decrease memory usage tho, unless you use non-buffered queries (which are preferable unless you absolutely *have* to use mysql_seek(), or you need to do another query while the last one hasn't finished reporting back, as they can provide a small speedup)

Transform your Bathroom with a Mirror
The choice of Bathroom mirrors has increased significantly within the last decade, and there is now a variety of revolutionary mirrors in an extensive selection of designs. There are so many features to choose from; heated mirrors, magnifying mirrors, mirrors with lights, mirrors with clocks, radios and shaver sockets – the list is endless. So forget the standard mirror; it's time to invest in a multipurpose reflective piece of technology.
As with anything, when there's a lot of choice there's also a lot of confusion around which model will best suit your bathroom. Read this comprehensive guide, featuring everything you need to know about every single type of modern, dual purpose bathroom mirror.Read More...
Lighted Mirrors
Even in this category there is a multitude of options for different bathrooms. Any mirrors fitted with lighting are practical and functional, making daily tasks such as applying make-up, shaving or hair styling easier. Some decorative mirrors with lights often act as a focal centrepiece of a bathroom, and many have additional features such as extra shelving or panelling.
Backlit Mirrors – when light is supplied behind the mirror, it is diffused evenly and creates the perfect lighting for task purposes. Using an overhead light, especially when there is no natural light in the room, causes shadows which is unhelpful when you need to make sure you look good in all types of lighting. Many of these backlit or illuminated mirrors use LED technology, which is energy efficient and safer than candlelight. They also have innovative features, such as flashing sequences, alternating colours or wave sensors to turn the lights on and off.
Illuminated mirrors are also perfect for creating an ambient light, to set a mellow mood in the bathroom to aid relaxation. These are ideal for unwinding in the bath, when the overhead light is too powerful and candlelight does not provide enough light.
Mirrors with Lights – these mirrors have a form of lighting fitted around or above the mirror rather than from behind. They are just as useful and functional for those bathroom tasks where you need to get up close and personal, but they can look more traditional and stylish than futuristic backlit mirrors. Many of these mirrors are designed to compliment other features of the bathroom, with white or wooden frames and extra storage features attached to the mirror.
Heated Mirrors
While these mirrors can warm up those chilly grey mornings, they actually have a more clever purpose; they are anti-mist and condensation. There is nothing more irritating then getting out of the shower and having to wait fifteen or twenty minutes to be able to use the bathroom mirror. With a heated bathroom mirror, you will never have to deal with the steamed up nightmare, and many of these designs also have added features such as lighting or sensors.
Magnifying Mirrors
If you still prefer a traditional, extending magnifying mirror for those personal tasks, you can still enjoy modern features. This range also includes lighted options, and mirrors with integrated clocks to make sure you don't spend too much time in the bathroom getting ready.Close

The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 specifically deal with the maintenance, installation and use of gas appliances, fittings and flues in domestic and certain commercial premises. They place duties on certain landlords to ensure that gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants use are safe.
Landlords must ensure that an annual gas safety check has been carried out by a 'Gas Safe' registered installer. Visit their website to find or check an installer - Gas Safe Register. A copy of the certificate must be given to the tenant within 28 days of the check being completed or to any new tenant before they move in.
Landlords who fail to ensure they have a current and valid gas safety certificate risk being prosecuted and face a maximum penalty of £5000 for each offence and possible imprisonment.
Tenants should always allow access for any maintenance or safety check work to be carried out.
Unsafe appliances can cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning which can kill – make sure your appliances are safe to use and that you have a current gas safety certificate.
Download the Landlords guide to Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations 1998 or by telephoning the Health & safety Executive Advice Line on 0800 300 363

Global Music Trends You Don't Know About But Should
March 31, 2014 via Pepsi
Global Music Trends You Don't Know About But Should
You know that one song everyone in the city seems to know the words to? It plays over and over in every restaurant, through every speaker, at every party--it's like a craze has swept your city--or even country! Oftentimes, this effect is designated to a certain area. In other parts of the world they're rocking out to tunes that sound entirely different. It might seem like everyone on earth is obsessed with electro-pop. In reality, music trends around the world vary a ton. Wondering what they're listening to in Iceland? Japan? We're here to guide you through music trends around the world you might not know about. Beef up that playlist with something a little different!
UK Pop
When you think about British music you might think about a certain band of adorable boys or maybe even grimy dubstep, but what your ears probably have yet to be graced with is this ambient pop that is dominating the electronic music scene in the UK right now. We are familiar with the Ellie Goulding style, but there is so much more that hasn't hit the U.S. PC Music is a record label out of the UK that is basically the epicenter of this new, plur-esque sound. While PC keeps to the underground and emerging artists, here are the top UK artists embodying the new wave electric sound:
Clean Bandit
British electronic music group hit the UK charts with this single, "Rather Be" at No. 1 this year. Their fusion of electro and classic sounds has had them topping UK charts since 2012.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a British singer, songwriter, model and DJ. Former lead singer of '90s band Theaudience, Bextor has made a name for herself with her nu-disco, '80s-influenced sound. Her latest album, Wanderlust, was just released this year with hit single, "Young Blood." The single reached No. 3 on the UK Indie Singles Chart.
Matrix & Futurebound
Matrix and Futurebound are a duo that has had three UK top 30 hits, including "All I Know", "Magnetic Eyes" and their latest, "Control" that peaked at No. 7 on the UK Charts this year. The song has been their biggest hit to date, and sounds like the ideal poppy club hit. Check it out.
Brasil Baile Funk
Baile funk, better known to natives as funk carioca or favela funk is a type of dance music hailing from Rio. The name doesn't just refer to the music, but the cultural amenities that accompany it. The style fills parties and discotheques all over Sud-América. The style has derived from late '80s and early '90s style "booty music" or "Miami bass" but developed into so much more. Baile funk has been the influence of so many pop and electronic artists, like Diplo and Nelly Furtado. Some old school but recognizable tracks include "808 Volt Mix" by DJ Battery Brain and Hassan's "Pump Up The Party." These rhythms and beats hold the roots of so much modern hip-hop. Although baile funk has come a long way since its '90s style, the modern pop take on it is really something else. Check out some of Brasil's top artists:
Jota Quest
Jota Quest is a Brazilian band that was originally formed in the '90s. The band stood out amongst others due their blue eyes soul-pop sound, like baile funk. Following the success of their album Dias Mejores, the band went on a "J15-15" tour where they would play for three to five hours and introduce new tracks to their fans. Their later album, Quinze won a Latin Grammy for Best Brazilian Contemporary Pop album. Check out their funky hit, "Mondaou."
Valesca Popozuda
Valesca Popozuda is a Brazilian musician, dancer and former reality TV contestant. She is the lead singer of the carioca funk band, Gaiola das Popozudas. Her latest hit, "Beijinho No Ombro" is a rather intense funk song. She's basically a Brazilian Lady Gaga and a pop queen. She performed "Beijinho No Ombro" on popular Brazilian talk show, Encontro. Check it out.
P9 is a Brazilian pop boy band out of Rio. They're basically the Brazilian One Direction but funkier. Their first single, "My Favorite Girl" was released last year in an eponymous EP to iTunes. Within 24 hours it broke the record for views of a Brazilian band on YouTube, with almost 2.5 million views. They have more a pop feel than other baile funk artists, but the influence is still apparent and sets them apart from typical bubble gum pop stars.
Japan's J-Pop
When we think Japan, we think of cutting edge, colorful style, delicious bento box lunches, massive department stores and imaginative manga. It's a country with some of the most explosive pop culture on earth. But what about music? Japan is always pushing boundaries when it comes to the latest sounds. J-pop is a phenomenon that encompasses every amazing aspect of Japanese culture phonetically. We all know K-pop, the numbingly hardcore bubble-gum pop that dominates the Korean music scene. J-pop is different. J-pop has its roots in '60's pop and rock, like a modern kawaii take on The Beatles. It's a fuse of electronic pop and rock that has become the New Wave craze in Japan.
Yellow Music Orchestra
Okay, even though Yellow Magic Orchestra, also known as YMO, has been around since the '70s they're still an extremely relevant aspect of Japanese pop music culture. They are basically the Japanese originators of synth pop, ambient electronica and modern J-pop. They're known (along with other J-Pop bands) for their use of The Roland TR-808 Rhythm composer, a programmable drum machine that made way in the '80s. They've had nine studio albums, 13 live albums, six compilation albums and 23 singles. Basically, if you want to know about Japanese music you better start with YMO.
AKB48 is a Japanese idol girl group and as of last year the group has 89 members. Basically, the group is based out of a theatre in Akihabara (an area in Tokyo). The group goes beyond any typical pop group: it has its own theatre to perform out of. Its creator, Yasushi Akimoto wanted to give fans a different experience, a place where they can come and be overwhelmed by J-Pop goodness. The group has subgroups (to make things a little easier) but has had mind-numbing success as a whole. Its all about bubblegum pop and synchronized dancing that makes fans go wild. They've been praised by the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and so much more it seems it must be common knowledge to know about the enormous pop group. They've won every (15) award they have been nominated for and sold close to 30 million singles worldwide.
Ayumi Hamasaki
Ayumi Hamasaki is what we imagine would come from Madonna and Lady Gaga having a super baby that somehow turned out a J-Pop princess (she even has a hit song called "Poker Face.") Also known as Ayu, this model, actress and singer/songwriter has been dubbed the "Empress of Pop" because she's basically the biggest pop star in all of Asia. She's behind many fashion and music trends that flourish throughout China, Singapore and Southeast Asia. She has sold over 50 million records in Japan and has had 14 albums. You don't know J-Pop if you don't know Ayumi Hamasaki. Just allow yourself to be wowed by her performance of "Wake Me Up" for her 15th anniversary tour.
Icelandic Electro-Folk
Iceland, one of the most mysterious and wonderful places on this earth, it's no wonder it's also home to some of the most incredible musicians. We're familiar with Sigur Rós, Björk, and Of Monsters and Men. We've also probably been blown away by their music. But Iceland has so much more to offer that remains (for the most part) unheard by by non-Icelanders. Yes, we're familiar with folk music and heavy electronic synths, but together? Not exactly. The Icelanders have a way of combining the two into what, we can call nothing short of an experience. The sheer linguistics of Icelanders could be an instrument in itself. Even if the lyrics are in English, the elf-like voices are enough to move you to a different place and time. The music is not only transcendent but ethereal. It's folk music you can imagine hearing at a music festival or dance club. If you're looking for the full roundup of what's coming out of Iceland, check out Pigeons and Planes' article "Icelandic Bands That You Need To Hear."
As Pigeons and Planes so eloquently puts it, Samaris' "rolling, psychedelic waves of low-level synths and bass" teeters on the edge of perfection. Samaris is a three piece group, with electronic keyboard, vocals and, interesting but not surprising, clarinet. The group formed back in 2011 and blew up after winning Iceland's Músíktilraunir (which translates to Music Experiments in English). Their self-titled debut album, which was released last year, was highly influenced by 19th-century Icelandic poetry. Their music is directly available for download here.
Múm's music can be characterized by their soft vocals, glitchy beats and use of unconventional instruments. Their whispery vocals and vibrating rhythms make for an interesting combination — as if you're floating and dancing at a festival at the same time. The band formed back in the '90s, and they released their seventh studio album, Smilewound, last year, with their single "Toothwheels." Check it out.
Pascal Pinon
Pascal Pinon is an incredible twosome, comprised of sisters Ásthildur and Jófríður Ákadóttir. They formed back in '09 and have produced three albums since. Their first was self-produced, and the second two with Morr Music. In sync with other Icelandic music trends, the sisters have a weak spot for the lo-fi sound of cassette tapes and toy synths. Their latest album, aptly titled Twosomeness, includes their enchanting single "Bloom."

Thomas Jayne
For AD100 designer Thomas Jayne, an 1830 Creole townhouse in the French Quarter serves as a charming pied-à-terre for family and friends visiting the city.
"They do a spectacular job with culinary antiques," Jayne says. "There's arguably nothing like it in the country, and I can't even think of a European equivalent for the range of styles offered. What's really great is that a lot of the things in the shop, although they're antique, are actually usable." 610 Chartres St.; 504-528-9620; lucullusantiques.com

Suzanne Rheinstein
Born and raised in New Orleans, AD100 designer Suzanne Rheinstein frequently returns to her hometown to shop for her clients and to source pieces for her Los Angeles boutique Hollyhock.
Museum—Longue Vue House and Gardens
"Ellen Biddle Shipman, one of the foremost landscape designers of the 1920s, began work on the home in the '30s," Rheinstein explains. "She also worked on the interiors and with the Platt Brothers, who did the architecture. It's a wonderful study in very informed upper-class living from the '30s through the '60s. Everyone who is crazy about design needs to see it." 7 Bamboo Rd.; 504.488.5488; longuevue.com

Bryan Batt
A man as exuberant as the city itself, Bryan Batt continues to work in television, film, and theater while managing his New Orleans boutique Hazelnut.
Bar—Bellocq at the Hotel Modern
"The last time I was at Bellocq, my partner Tom Cianfichi and I took our dear friend and native New Orleanian Patricia Clarkson for some serious bourbon drinks," Batt says. "They were so good I can't recall their name!" 936 St. Charles Ave.; 504-962-0900; thehotelmodern.com

Lee Ledbetter
New Orleans architect and interior designer Lee Ledbetter, who comfortably mixes historical elements with modernist touches, is fluent in the city's unique and multifaceted aesthetic vocabulary.
Shop—French Antique Co.
"They have late-19th and 20th-century Baccarat chandeliers, French and English mantels, an incredible selection of Louis XVI armchairs," Ledbetter says. "It's a treasure trove—all four floors." 225 Royal St.; 504-524-9861; gofrenchantiques.com

Shop—Loisel Vintage Modern
"The owner is a trained geologist who used to sell antiques out of his garage—he has a great eye," Ledbetter says. "I recently saw a Salterini chaise with its original cushions and a fantastic Probber stool there. He has vintage Florence Knoll and Hannah and Morrison for Knoll. Plus great Finnish, German, and Italian glass." 2855 Magazine St.; 504-899-2444; loiselvintagemodern.com

New York–based architect Brian Sawyer, who worked on Julianne Moore's charming West Village garden (AD, March 2012), collaborated with Lee Ledbetter on the New Orleans Museum of Art's Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden, which features works by Henry Moore, Louise Bourgeois, René Magritte, and rising talent Jean-Michel Othoniel, all surrounded by centuries-old oaks covered with Spanish moss.
Hotel—Breakfast at the Soniat House
"I die for the biscuits, coffee, and juice in the morning," Sawyer says. "The hotel is just so genteel, and so is the courtyard with all the bricks and a fountain. Breakfast might take forever because they make the biscuits fresh and deliver them to you in a beautiful basket with a hot brick covered in a beautiful damask napkin to keep them warm. The coffee they serve is French Market chicory that's so thick it pours like oil. Perfectly served and perfectly delicious." 1133 Chartres St.; 504-522-0570; soniathouse.com

Troy Andrews, a.k.a Trombone Shorty
With a sound he describes as "supafunkrock," native Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews has accumulated a huge following since he began performing at age six. This year, he helped celebrate Mardi Gras at the White House with a blues workshop for students.
"Tipitina's is like a home base for me for so many years and so many great shows I've seen or been a part of," Andrews says. "Be sure to rub the head of the Professor 'Fess' Longhair bust when you walk in the entrance." 501 Napoleon Ave.; 504-895-8477; tipitinas.com

Hunt Slonem
The owner of two plantation homes in Louisiana, artist Hunt Slonem enjoys hunting for treasures among the city's many antiques shops and auction houses.
Shop—Neal Auction Co.
"The quality is fantastic for mid-19th-century antiques," Slonem says. "They have everything my heart desires—marble busts, portraits, and old Paris porcelain. It's my sensibility to a tee—which is very particular. I'm refinishing my Louisiana homes, and I consider it part of my art to re-create them." 4038 Magazine St.; 504.899.5329; nealauction.com

Harry Shearer
With his unmistakable voices on The Simpsons and unforgettable role as Derek Smalls in This Is Spinal Tap, audiences are accustomed to laughing at Harry Shearer's work. But on a more serious note, the New Orleans resident also wrote and directed The Big Uneasy, an enlightening and moving documentary about the effects of the 2005 flood.
Music—Frenchmen Street
"Visitors think the musical heart is Bourbon Street, but that's the tourist heart," Shearer says. "Frenchmen Street is an amazing buffet of many types of music—reggae, blues, bluegrass, rock and roll. I live within walking distance, so after dinner I go out and pick which place or places I want to dip into. You can make your own Jazz Fest."

Christian Scott, a.k.a Christian aTunde Adjuah
Trumpeter Christian Scott has been praised for his ability to introduce jazz to a new generation. The cover of his newly released album, Christian aTunde Adjuah, features him in traditional Mardi Gras Indian garb—a nod to his family roots in New Orleans and the city's inimitable traditions.
Music—Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club
"My favorite place in New Orleans is Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club," Scott says. "It's the club where I first cut my teeth. I remember being in there damn near through the night as a teen, listening to cats play everything from new conceptual music to Tiger Leaf Rag. This is where real New Orleanians go to share experiences, laughter, and reverence for what makes the city our own. You can see anything from a block party to a second line with the social aid and pleasure clubs, bones gangs to Indian practice and comedy shows all on the same day." 1931 Saint Claude Ave.; 504-945-9654; sweetlorrainesjazzclub.com

Tom Kundig
AD100 architect Tom Kundig, highly regarded for his compelling work in the Pacific Northwest, especially his home base of Seattle, may not have any deep roots in New Orleans, but he shares the city's love for fantastic storytelling.
"My favorite memory of New Orleans occurred some years ago at d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street," Kundig says. "The place was half to three-quarters full; the band was fantastic and mid-set. I was sitting in a corner with some friends when I happened to notice that they were closing the doors. All of a sudden I heard a familiar-sounding harmonica. I stood up on my chair to see what was going on and, sure enough, Stevie Wonder was on stage. He played a few songs with the band and afterwards went around saying hello to folks in the audience. Turns out it was his birthday." 618 Frenchmen St.; 504-942-3731; drinkgoodstuff.com

Eric Overmyer
To indoctrinate HBO viewers of Treme in the nuanced culture of New Orleans, the show's cocreator and producer Eric Overmyer drew from the two decades he kept a second home in the city.
"The gorgeous downstairs room evokes old Creole New Orleans," Overmyer says, "where a five-hour lunch on a Friday with lots of wine reminds you that New Orleans is one of the few places in America where time is more precious than money." 209 Bourbon St.; 504-525-2021; galatoires.com

Rock and Roll Love Affair
Is Prince Finally Making Nice With The Internet?
Prince has never been a big fan of the Internet spending lots of time (and money) to make sure no one is pirating his music. A new Twitter account though is making fans wonder if he's finally ready to embrace the World Wide Web.

1 (14 ounce) can
chicken broth
1 (11.5 ounce) can
tomato-vegetable juice cocktail
1 cup
1 large
potato, diced
carrots, sliced
2 stalks
celery, diced
1 (14.5 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
1 cup
chopped fresh green beans
1 cup
fresh corn kernels
salt and pepper to taste
Creole seasoning to taste
FANTASTIC!! Don't make the initial mistake that I did when I first read the recipe and assume that it's going to boring. This made the perfect veggie soup and got rave, I mean RAVE, reviews! I did add some frozen green beans and corn, used only beef broth and no water and simmered it for a little longer to let the flavors mesh, but that's all I changed. Very good...You should try it. You will be surprised.
This reminds me of a soup my grandpa used to make. I substituted chicken stock for vegetable stock and threw in a chicken bullion cube. And I exchanged some of the veggies for what I had on hand, but I think anything would turn out good. Boyfriend loved it and even the kids who don't like veggies ate it without complaint. So all in all, this may be my new go-to recipe for a quick and easy soup.
324 Ratings
Very easy, quick, and tasty soup. I made a lot of changes,but I'm giving it 5 stars for the proportions and idea of using V8 as a base. I sauteed an onion, some celery, carrots and garlic in olive oil, then added the liquids as stated. I added two diced potatoes, a can of corn, some green beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and seasonings (salt, pepper, Italian seasoning.) This soup couldn't be easier and gets rave reviews every time.
I LOVE this soup! I've made it a number of times and it's always so satisfying. I use 2 cups of chicken broth, use a 28 oz can of tomatoes, omit celery (don't like) and use frozen corn and green beens as well as the fresh carrots. Sometimes I also saute a large onion in the bottom of the pot and then add everything else. I also use the Spicy V8. The creole seasoning really makes it - but I also add at least 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper for some kick. If you love your veggies, then you will LOVE this soup!!! Thanks!!
great recipe,used 1TBSP of this creole seasoning blend: 2Tbsp onion powder, 2 Tbsp garlic powder, 2 Tbsp dried oregano, 2 Tbsp dried basil, 1 Tbsp dried thyme, 2 Tbsp fresh ground peppercorns (mixed), 1 Tbsp cayenne, 1 Tbsp celery seed, 5 Tbsp. paprika. Pulse all in food processor til well mixed or whisk together well. store in covered jar.
Gave soup a lovely spicy flavour! Will definitly make it again! Oh, I also sauteed 2 medium onions right at the beginning, and then added everything to that. Yum!
I've been looking for a tasty homemade vegetable soup recipe and I'm happy to say this one surpassed my expectations. It's delicious, and even my hubby who HATES vegetable soup with every fibre of his being, enjoyed it. He even had seconds. I changed some ingredients, this seems to be a very adaptable recipe. I used vegetable broth and V8, doubled the amount of these and omitted the water.
For veggies I used carrots, red potatoes, celery, fresh roma tomatoes, fresh green beans, one can of peas, and before I added anything to the pot I also sauteed a medium onion and two cloves of garlic in 1/4 cup of olive oil, based on suggestions from other reviewers.
For spices I used cajun spice instead of creole (it was all I had), a bay leaf, oregano, garlic powder, a couple pinches of ginger, sea salt, and fresh ground black pepper. I also chopped up about a tablespoon of fresh flat-leaf parsley and put that in. I definitely see this soup in my future. Thanks so much for the recipe!
This is delicious! I found a recipe for a cajun spice mix online by Google-ing it. The only thing I changed was I made it in my crockpot, while I was away for the evening. Oh - and I used peas instead of greenbeans, but just because that was what I had on hand. It has very nice flavor. You should try this recipe. :)
This soup is hearty, tastes good, and very easy to make. It goes real well with French bread or sandwiches such as BLT's. I have made it at least three times as my wife requests it specifically.

Civil Servants/Public Officials: Background
This category covers government employees and officials who personally make political contributions, as well as public entities that lobby the federal government.Elected or appointed public officials, U.S. postal workers and members of the justice system, such as judges, prosecutors and prison officials, are included in this broad category.
This group of donors does not include public employee unions, which are classified within the labor sector, or members of Congress, who are categorized as making ideological-based donations based on the member's party affiliation.
While rules prohibit federal workers from campaigning during office hours, they're as free as anyone to contribute to the candidates of their choice, and many do. Civil servants contributed more than $29.5 million to federal parties and candidates during the 2008 election cycle, with 69 percent of those contributions going to Democrats.
State, territorial and local government and governmental organizations spent more than $73 million lobbying the federal government in 2006. By 2009, that figure had grown to more than $83.5 million. Since 2007, Puerto Rico, Pennsylvania, Miami- Dade County in Florida, Los Angeles County in California and Riverside County in California, respectively, have been the top five states and municipalities lobbying the federal government.

En español | After tragedy strikes — be it tornados in Oklahoma, bombings in Boston or a typhoon in the Phillippines — expect two immediate reactions: Well-intentioned people will want to give donations. And scammers will want to take them.
Within hours of any disaster, charity scams go into full swing. Even before Superstorm Sandy made landfall, 1,000 new websites with "Sandy," "relief" or related keyword search terms in them had been registered, many of them by scammers.
Some of the bogus websites seek your credit card number to collect supposed donations, possibly also using that information later for identity theft. Others infect your computer with malware that can ferret out sensitive information, such as your account numbers or passwords.
Fraudsters also do their work by blasting out thousands of spam emails, text messages and phone calls. They get their word out on Facebook and Twitter and even go door-to-door.
"Tragedies inspire people to give," says H. Art Taylor of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance. "After every natural disaster and manmade catastrophe, we see an outpouring of generosity … along with the inevitable scams and frauds. We urge donors to take the time to make sure their donations are going to legitimate charities." Here's how:
1. Check it out
Before donating to a charity, take time to authenticate it. In addition to the Wise Giving Alliance, charity names and reputations can be vetted at Charity Navigator, Charity Watch and GuideStar. You can also contact the agency in your state that regulates charities. Be suspicious of charities not listed or with questionable track records.
2. Don't let them in
Unless you previously donated to an organization and have already provided your contact information, it's wise to assume that an unsolicited donation request by email or phone is a scam. Don't click on links in emails, Facebook or Twitter; they can unleash computer malware.
3. Examine the Web address
When using an Internet search engine to find charities, treat the results pages with caution. Carefully read organizations' Internet addresses before clicking on them. Scammers often create rogue websites with sly misspellings, tweaks or sound-alike names. Also know that legitimate nonprofit organizations typically end in .org, not .com.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Five days after fracturing the pinkie on his right hand, David Wright felt no ill-effects in his return to the Mets' lineup.
The New York third baseman homered in his first at-bat and singled twice as the Mets blanked the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-0, in the middle test of a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park.
Lucas Duda clubbed a two-run homer for the Mets, who have taken the first two games of this series to improve to 6-2 on the young season.
Jon Niese (2-0) limited the Phillies to five singles over 6 2/3 innings. Bobby Parnell and Jon Rauch shut down Philadelphia the rest of the away.
Vance Worley (0-1) gave up four runs on eight hits and walked four in six frames for Philadelphia, which fell to 3-5.
"You just got to keep working and be confident things will get turned around," said Phillies outfielder John Mayberry Jr.
Wright sent the first pitch he saw to center field to put New York on the board in the first inning.
"When a guy like David Wright goes out and plays with a broken finger, and everybody knows he's got it, and plays the way he plays, all of a sudden the other guys don't hurt as bad," said New York manager Terry Collins.
The Mets loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth and went up 2-0 when Jason Bay grounded into a double play. Duda followed with his third home run of the season, a blast to the seats in right-center.
Ruben Tejada added an RBI single in the ninth off Philadelphia's Michael Stutes.
Niese and Worley both struck out five batters...Philadelphia center fielder Shane Victorino extended his hitting streak against the Mets to 13 games...The Phillies were 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position.

"There is 20 bags and there is only one me, and I can't sift through everything . . . she would only open a couple of bags, and it was very stressful for me because then again on my off days I couldn't really have a day off, you know, I weigh 115 pounds, and I was trying to move these huge, big luggages all by myself in the room, and I did it all the time — by the way, she was asleep until like 12:00 most of the time, so I was very often waking up."

This may be a common trope here, but for all the work I do teaching people how to use the library and how to find and get the materials they need, I also troubleshoot a lot of purely technology problems. I'm bringing this up again because I've modified my opinions: In the past I may have complained about having to support technology problems instead of library problems, but now I think we should be professionally embracing both. The word 'troubleshoot' brings to mind images of changing toner cartridges and checking power cords, but a lot of troubleshooting can be subtle and sophisticated and can require a certain amount of expertise.
For example, the cognitive process of finding the right keywords to search an academic database for a given topic can be really tricky for students accustomed to typing "when was prezidnt lincon shot?" into google and being matched with the correct answer.
Also, despite everyone's best efforts, many online interfaces are poorly designed and difficult to use. Savvy users will be able to overcome confusing web design, but many people -- even those who use computers and cell phones somewhat regularly -- are limited in their computer skills and have little understanding of how the underlying technology works.
In addition, when we support systems outside of the library -- such as the online materials attached to textbooks -- we increase our value to the institution as a whole. Often when a service is moved online, the expectation is that there will be no need for human mediation. When this proves false, librarians are often on the front lines of supporting services outside of our expertise. Instead of rejecting this role, why not expand outside of the library and become proficient in understanding the college's email and online course management systems?
We strengthen the profession when we can not only provide but demonstrate the value of human assistance with technology problems. There may be a day when this is no longer necessary, but I doubt it. And although I still occasionally catch myself asking "Is this the best use of my time?", I now see the library as a more holistic space, where a traditional reference question may intersect with an off-campus authentication question, and where I should be able to assist with both. When I can, it improves people's perceptions of the overall usefulness of librarians.

|CNN Article On Stephen Huneck Dog Chapel
I've written Vermont Travel Notes entries about Stephen Huneck's unique dog chapel in St. Johnsbury VT as well as his artwork and galleries around the state (the newest is in Stowe). His whimsical and sometimes touching artwork is very popular with dog owners all over the world. As a result, he has received publicity in a large number of places, the most recent being CNN and its website. The article is entitled "Doggy Disneyland draws animals, owners by the pack" and it's a good description of Stephen, his artwork, and his 175 acre farm with widely known dog chapel. It's quite a structure, requiring an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, and well worth a visit if you are a dog lover. From our inn, it is a little over a 45 minute drive to Dog Mountain..
Another great place to visit in the St. Johnsbury area is the Fairbanks Museum. I also recommend a drive north to Lake Willoughby and then over to the area around the town of Island Pond to do some moose spotting.

|This Is A Good Time To Buy Winter Gear On Sale
Vermont's Tubbs Snow Shoes
I just received an email from my friends at Umiak Outfitters in Stowe VT that they are having their annual 30% off sale on skis, boots, snowshoes (20% on Tubbs brand) and sleds this weekend.
In addition, Umiak has a online retail store page with discounted prices plus a clearance sale page on their website you might be interested in if you can't make it to their sale.
In fact, in your travel to Vermont over the next few weeks, it's a good idea to drop into the local ski shops and outdoor outfitters to see what they have on sale. Most of these shops have their summer gear on order and their new stuff is already starting to arrive.

TSA approved combination lock and 4 swivel wheels" It's $475! but it will probably survive 20 years of airline abuse so that's just $24 per year: on the Luggage section of Flight 001.

|Where to Buy Travel Gear
I was recently looking for travel bags and came across a site you might be interested in too. It's called Trusty Pony for no reason that I see but it has a lot of "cool stuff for travelers" as it claims.
You can find helpful items under categories such as Air, Family, Fancy, Gadgety, Girly, International, Outdoorsy, Road Trip, Sporty, Urban, Warm-weather, Luggage & Bags, Body, Books & Guides, and Gifts.
There are countless worthwhile and clever items that you can use even when you are not traveling. Give it a look - you'll probably see something of use to you or someone you know (think holiday shopping).

|Huneck Art Produced for Stowe Fed Cup Tennis Tournament and New Store Opening
To celebrate the Women's Fed Cup tennis event and a new gallery opening in Stowe this weekend, Vermont artist Stephen Huneck has created a new dog work called "Ball Boy."
You can order a "Ball Boy" giclee as a Black, Yellow or Chocolate Lab at the new Stowe Stephen Huneck gallery or online.
The new gallery in Stowe has its opening Friday July 13. It is located in the middle of the village near the intersection of Routes 100 and 108. Look for the sculpture of a Lady with Labs. Artist Stephen Huneck will be there with gallery owners Patty and David Jaqua to sign his books and artwork. Dogs are always invited in the gallery and there will be treats for them as well.
About an hour's drive from Stowe is Stephen's unique dog chapel, located on a farm called Dog Mountain just outside St. Johnsbury VT (a great town to visit too). All are welcome. As the sign outside says, "All creeds, all breeds." It is a beautiful little church complete with pews and stained glass windows and, more important to the dogs, plenty of room outside to run and play, plus a pond for swimming and fetching.
There is a map on the Dog Mountain website but it's a little hard to read the name of the road. The Dog Chapel is located at 143 Parks Road, off Spaulding Road which you can see better on this Google map.
"I wanted to build a chapel, one that celebrated the spiritual bond we have with our dogs" - Stephen Huneck

Comments On May 24, 2015:i have had this chain on my xc quad for about 5 races now and has held up very well to the abuse of 2 hour races and plenty of practice time. defiantly will be buying again

Comments On May 02, 2015:The amount of friction from the x ring seals robbed the bike of maybe 10-15% of it's power just to turn the chain. I finally replaced it after several months and enjoyed an instant power boost. I thought it might break in, but it never did.

Comments On Mar 17, 2015:The chain does work well but was very difficult to put on the connecting link considering it was an o-ring chain. With the o-rings on there I had a hard time squeezing the connection tab to get it hooked in. Other than that a very nice chain!

Comments On Feb 25, 2015:I tried at least 10 other brand chains and none held up as long as the DID X ring. The chain held up well to an entire year of racing. When I took it off it was still in good condition and is now on a practice quad and still holding up great. I will only buy DID X ring chains from now on.

On the heels of last week's guilty plea by Raul Sanchez for his involvement in a Bronx-based dog fighting operation, we are thrilled to report that many of the dogs are thriving in their new lives as beloved pets.
In November, we told you a very happy story about Ninja, one of the dogs we rescued and rehabilitated, who found a wonderful forever home. Now we have another heartwarming success story to share: Mona Lisa, who was one of 50 dogs we rescued in June from that dark, dingy Bronx basement, recently went home to a loving family.
Mona now lives with two loving pet parents in a spacious house overlooking 50 mountainside acres, where she takes frequent hikes with her new dog sister, Zelda. Her other favorite activities include snuggling with Zelda by the fireplace and lounging on the couch with her new pet parents.
Mona Lisa's journey to adoption wasn't easy. After her rescue, she was transferred to one of our partner shelters, The Animal Support Project, Inc. (TASP) in Cropseyville, New York.
"When Mona arrived at the shelter, she cried and whined like a hyena and was extremely anxious, usually sitting pitifully at the kennel door," says Melinda Plasse of TASP. But after plenty of attention, care and time to recover, Mona made great progress. "She is outgoing," Melinda reports, "loves belly rubs, and is kind as can be to children and other animals."
When we picture Mona Lisa romping around in the woods with her new family, we can't help but smile. We're working to make sure that animals nationwide won't continue to suffer due to the cruel practice of animal fighting. Last week, legislators reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, which would make attending an organized animal fight a federal offense and would impose additional penalties for bringing a minor to an animal fight.
Please join us in our efforts by asking your own House representative to support this important humane legislation.

Giro Atmos Road Helmet - Closeout!A top choice of road, 'cross and XC riders, the Atmos bike helmet is the perfect blend of performance, sleek styling and cooling comfort. In-Mold Composite Sub Frame and Roll Cage reinforcements maximize impact protection while providing a streamlined, low-profile fit. 26 Wind Tunnel vents continuously circulate cool air and Roc Loc 5 retention system cradles your head comfortably and securely. New webbing with retainer and ultra-light buckle saves weight.
- In-Mold construction reinforces the area around the vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton, which allows the helmet to be lighter, more durable and better ventilated than traditional designs
- Roll Cage is a light-yet-tough web of reinforcement, invisibility molded inside the helmet's EPS foam liner for maximum impact protection, strength and integrity
- In-Mold Composite Sub Frame is tuned to deliver incredible structural support, impact dispersion and resistance to penetration (and it's the secret to this helmet's ability to offer great big vents without compromising protective capability)
- 26 Wind Tunnel vents with internal channels thrust cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing heat and stale air out
- Impact absorbing, antimicrobial X-Static padding offers unprecedented comfort and manages moisture
- Quite possibly the best-fitting retention system you've ever experienced, the Roc Loc 5 easily adjusts both fit tension and vertical position with a single hand, plus it's 40% lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4
- Featherweight webbing, Slimline webbing retainer and custom ultra-light Slimline buckle are comfortable and lightweight
- Includes internal webbing attachment

You would need 1/2" sch 80 and a 9/16" drill because the pipe would be a little small on the id. or 3/4" sch 80 and it will be a little sloppy. I can drill you some bushings...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Bob is right you're going to have them custom made to fit a 9/16 bolt. Don't forget to allow for some shrinkage when welding them to the frame, either that or have a drill or reamer to go through them post welding. When I do projects that require bushings like this I usually bore them 1/64 undersize then weld them and follow with a reamer after welding.Blondie (Owner C & S Automotive)

The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues estimates there are more than 370 million indigenous people in some 90 countries worldwide. Carlos Yescas of the New School for Social Research looks at the definition of indigenous people, the three types of indigenous-people flows, and how indigenous migrants maintain ties with their home communities.
Remittances would seem to boost the chances that children in Mexico complete high school. But money alone does not improve schooling outcomes in the educationally marginalized, migrant-sending regions of southern Mexico, as Adam Sawyer of the Harvard Graduate School of Education reports.
The recent recession has affected Mexicans in the United States, new flows northward, and remittances to Mexico. Francisco Alba of El Colegio de México examines the latest trends as well as Mexican government policies toward the diaspora, Mexico's role as a transit country, and immigrants and refugee and asylees in Mexico.
In the 1920s, the Catholic Church in Mexico feared that mass emigration north caused the breakup of families and religious conversions. David Fitzgerald of the University of California, San Diego looks at how Church policy eventually became a voice for migrants' rights and how these policies have affected Mexican migration flows and Mexican government policies.
Approximately 400,000 migrants transit through Mexico each year in order to reach the United States, many of them women from Latin America. Gabriela Diaz and Gretchen Kuhner explain how the detention system's structure and new detention procedures affect women.

The economic consequences of emigration on migrants' countries of origin have long been studied, yet the precise assessment of positive and negative impacts remains complex. This analysis finds that Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration when considering remittances and labor markets.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.

I admittedly, for the first time ever, took a gander at the threads and chatter over there.
The bad news? I think they finally realize that Mark Sanchez is a joke. I say it's bad because they will have to get rid of him after next year (too much guaranteed for him not to be a Jet again next year)
