One of the most ambitious artistic undertakings in history, the LACMA Rock Haul, we'll call it, will roll through Long Beach next week.
The rock is a 340-ton, 21-and-a-half-foot-high mega-chunk carved out of a quarry in Riverside that will be installed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Wilshire Boulevard.
The installation, by artist Michael Heizer, will be called Levitated Mass and will stand on rails set on the ground at the entry to LACMA's Resnick Pavilion. A channel will be dug under the rock that will allow visitors to walk beneath it. The artist promises that the rock will appear to levitate above them.
Whatever. The real art is getting it from the quarry to the museum. According to our Google directions, if we were to haul a rock - say maybe a 12-pound rock that we found to be aesthetically pleasing - from the Stone Valley quarry in Riverside to the museum on the Miracle Mile, we should be able to make the 60.2-mile journey in an hour and seven minutes. We think we could do it in under an hour, because art trumps the speed limit.
The movers of the Levitated Mass rock must get paid by the hour, because they're figuring on taking an alternate route of better than 100 miles, through four counties and 22 cities at the laconic pace of 5 to 7 mph over 11 nights.
The move has been in the planning stage since the rock was the size of a pebble.
It's a headache to plan a parade of high school bands and hay wagons down a city street. Moving the rock is something entirely headachier. More than 100 permits had to be cleared at the state, county and city level.
The rock, which is being moved by Emmert International, will enter our local streets in the middle of next week.
Moving only during the cover (and light traffic) of night, it will begin its Tuesday journey at 10 p.m. heading west on South Street from Carfax Avenue. The 294-foot transporter will hang a left on Paramount Boulevard and head south to Del Amo Boulevard to Atlantic Avenue, where it will head south to 36th Street, ending its journey for the day at 5 a.m. next Wednesday. It will be parked for the day in the middle of Atlantic.
We asked Rick Albrecht, who has the cake job of logistics supervisor for Emmert, if people can see the rock as it moves through their town.
"It's shrink-wrapped, but you can tell it's a rock," he told us.
"Can you tell if it's art?" we asked.
"I don't know if you can tell it's art, but you can tell it's a rock," he said.
At 10 p.m. next Wednesday, the rock starts rolling again with a straight shot down Atlantic all the way to Ocean Boulevard then west to Magnolia, then back up north to Pacific Coast Highway, where it goes till it leaves town.
We makes it sound easy, and it would be if it were just us and our pretty little 12-pound rock. We're talking a half-hour tops, with a stop at Bake-n-Broil.
But in Long Beach, during the Wednesday night-Thursday morning transport, overhanging traffic signals, street signs and other obstacles have to be unbolted and lifted and/or turned at more than 20 intersections. It's the kind of thing you don't notice driving down the street unless you're driving a 294-foot-long truck as wide as three freeway lanes while hauling 680,000 pounds worth of 21-foot-tall art.
The whole endeavor has a lot of Easter Island in it. Generations in the far-off future that have been blasted back to simpler times by a mistreated savage planet will wonder how a mountain-sized rock that's indigenous to a Riverside quarry made its way to a glittery boulevard in L.A.
Theories will abound, most having to do with logs and levers and legions of slaves.
In fact, it's the art of technology. And a lot of money. It's about a $10 million project, from the carving of the rock out of the quarry to the illusory levitation of the rock at LACMA.
But don't be outraged, it's all being paid for by contributions from patrons of the arts.

WATCH: Kendall, Kylie Jenner talk Kimye wedding on 'Tonight Show'
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are confirming that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding was indeed "amazing." The sisters stopped by "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday and joked about the newlyweds' love of exotic locales.
Kendall said her favorite part of the multi-day event was the pre-wedding fireworks display at Versailles, while Kylie said her favorite was the performance from Lana Del Rey.
Kendall also touched on a recent experience she probably doesn't consider a favorite. She said she still can't believe she flubbed the introduction of 5 Seconds of Summer at the Billboard Music Awards last month. Fallon tried to make her feel better, though, by showing a few of his own on-air mistakes. And Kendall says she hopes to make up for the mishap when she co-hosts the Much Music Video Awards with Kylie on June 15th.
The Jenner sisters are currently making the rounds promoting their new young adult novel, Rebels: City of Indra, which is in bookstores now.

About Time
The best romancer since "The Notebook", ironically again starring Rachel McAdams.
From Richard Curtis, the director of "Love Actually" , "Notting Hill" and "Four Weddings And A Funeral", "About Time" is not only the feel-good rom-com of year, it's one of the most enjoyable movies of the year.
The twist in this rom-com: the men in this British family can time-travel once they turn 21. Father Bill Nighy (a Richard Curtis favorite for good reason) breaks the news to his romantically challenged son the night after a New Year's Eve party that was a disaster for Tim, winningly played by Domhnall Gleeson. With their family's time travel, they can't change history. They can only have re-do's in the past of their own lives. Tim uses his new found power to fix his love life, which ultimately pairs him with Mary (Rachel McAdams). This is the 3rd time0travel film for Mcadams. She starred in "The Time Traveler's Wife" and also had a role in Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris". In "About Time", McAdams and Gleeson are such a great fit, you can easily see them happily married for life.
What starts as a love story grows into a much larger tale, including father-son love. As is one of his trademarks, Curtis makes great use of music, starting with an instrumental version of the under-appreciated Ben Folds song "The Luckiest" and ending, appropriately with the original version of the song.
You'll laugh, you'll cry and ultimately walk out of the theater with a vast appreciation of the everyday things in life. I so loved this movie.

MORE than 100 people turned out in Redditch town centre to mark Holocaust Memorial Day with a journey of remembrance.
The event, which took place on Saturday, was organised through Redditch Borough Council together with a number of community groups and individuals in the town.
Holocaust Memorial Day this year centred around the theme of journeys, with a focus on remembering the experiences of Holocaust and genocide survivors whose journeys were often forced upon them.
Two memorial ceremonies were held; at Worcester Square in the Kingfisher Centre, and at the Holocaust marker in Church Green, and a number of local children also performed songs and dances in different national costumes, as part of the Worcester Square ceremony.
The event was attended by community leaders, as well as borough councillors and MP Karen Lumley.
Ms Lumley said: "It was a great pleasure to meet survivor Eva Clark on Saturday at the Redditch Holocaust service on Saturday and listen to her talking about the tireless work she does for the cause. The memorial service was as usual very moving and also very enjoyable with music from the Kerela group and the polish youngsters along with the Astwood Bank First School.
"There were some very moving readings and it was an honour to be able to talk about Bosnia, a country I know extremely well.
"It is important we never forget what happened all those years ago, but also still continues to happen. We must all work together to stamp out these atrocities."

IDM Technologies Group, creator of LabTrack specimen tracking technology will bring high-level jobs to the Valley
IDM Technologies Group, manufacturer of the point-to-point specimen tracking product LabTrackTM, will move its company headquarters to the Phoenix area in the first quarter of 2012.
"Relocating to the Phoenix area will strengthen our strategic partnership with Avnet, one of several partnerships that are key to our growth plan for LabTrack," said Peter Allison, CEO of IDM Technologies Group who founded the company near Seattle four years ago. "This growth will bring new, quality jobs to metropolitan Phoenix, starting with 15 management-level positions that we will hire in 2012."
Locations in Scottsdale and Chandler are being considered for the corporate office and a distribution facility.
IDM Technologies Group has already established agreements with six local contractors to provide business support ranging from marketing and distribution to accounting. By the end of 2014, management expects to create up to 45 salaried positions in the Valley.
Following its launch in 2007, IDM Technologies Group has been developing, distributing and testing its flagship product, LabTrack, from its current headquarters in Gig Harbor, Wash., near Seattle.
Using radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, LabTrack tracks and traces lab specimens, blood and tissue samples through every point in the diagnostic lab process.
The technology helps eliminate lost and misplaced lab samples, which helps ensure both patient safety and test reliability. Product testing has also shown that the technology leads to increased productivity among lab personnel and reductions in laboratory operating costs.
The LabTrack point-to-point specimen tracking product is assembled in the United States and will be distributed from facilities in the Phoenix area.
Allison projects that the company will begin a national launch of LabTrack during the first quarter of 2012.

I have a script that allows members to import/export up to 10,000 products. I was able to build a script to bulk import 10,000 products with a SINGLE MySQL insert statement by building an array instead of looping through 10,000 insert queries.
When members export the files, they are given the id of each item already listed. So they can edit their item descriptions, prices and 20 different columns, and re-import them. To do this, I need to use the MySQL UPDATE. The problem is I have to loop through 10,000 items and do 10,000 Update queries. I'm not sure how to get it into a single Update function
Is there a way to do build up the updates into an array and Update all of the listings in a single query?
ThanksKind regards
upload the updates into a table, then do a joined update (details in da manual)
Thanks for the reply and pointing me towards a solution.
I am starting with my main "products" table and have now created an empty, but duplicate table structure called "update_products". During an bulk edit import, I now do my regular bulk insert of the items to the update_products table. ( I am currently running into an error during insertion: Duplicate entry '2147483647' for key 'PRIMARY' , but I'll probably figure this out later).
Here is what I have for joining update:$sql = "UPDATE products LEFT JOIN update_products ON update_products.id = products.id SET products.global_cat_id = update_products.global_cat_id WHERE seller = '$seller'";mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
I haven't tested this ( I will once I deal with the error code tomorrow for inserting items into update_products. The Update query here is updating just one column "global_cat_id". How can I update the entire row like a copy and paste? Like: "SET products.* = update_products.*" ?
SET t1.a = t2.a, t1.b = t2.b, t1.c = t2.c, ...
you have to do all columns one at a time like that
Thanks for the help r937, it looks like it's working perfectly!
Kind regards

I just came across an interesting article on Mashable about the future predictions of E-Commerce from 10 famous founders/entrepreneurs that I thought I would share with you all. Most of them said that custom designs, high-tech innovations and virtual systems might be the future in e-business.
What do guys think of this?
Ecommerce will achieve past the desktop, will be concentrating on more on mobile, tablets and other easily transportable equipment. And social will be even much more interesting. Online marketing will be all about customer centric content and customer reviews. People today will be believing opinions and social content more than organization produced web content.
I agree totally. since internet access is no longer limited to just computers, ecommerce will have a bigger market to target i.e the smartphone and tablet users. Also social media is gonna play an important role in getting business to online stores. Word-of-mouth has become word-of-social networking sites!
I totally agree with Eric Koester's comment about '360-Degree Customer Engagement'! Customers engage with companies across several different platforms! Therefore, it is important to connect with your customers by always providing fresh content on your site and especially using social media, blogging, forums, and having a mobile-friendly site to keep your customers engaged!!
Now a days many people are using Smartphones, iPad for online shopping and get more information about products and services so in future it will be more effective. Social media also gives more weightage on online marketing and it has also increased traffic to your site.
Nowadays a lot of e-commerce owners are already switching to m-commerce. It has a lot of extra-opportunities both for owners and for users. Mobile apps bring high customer satisfaction from the shopping experience of a favorite brand. Apps can save purchase history and give recommendations on products and services. This software is very suitable for increasing and supporting customer loyalty.
Yes, future of e commerce is bright in coming time. Because due to increase in world's population there is huge rush can be seen in all public places. Everybody is in hurry and want to save time. E commerce can surely help us in future in this concern by saving time and energy.

transcript:
Hello, I’m Patty Kim. We’re headed now to West & Central Africa.
Now, this region probably doesn’t get as much as exposure as the rest of Africa, but for the intrepid traveler, that’s just one of its many charms.
You see, less tourism means more chances to meet local people and experience traditional ways of life.
With epic festivals, booming cities and nature parks you can call your own, this is one trip you’ll definitely never forget.
If you’re looking for variety and an original travel experience, then you’ve come to the right place - West and Central Africa.
Comprised of over 20 countries and an array of landscapes to suit whatever your mood - from lazy beaches to overland adventures, from jungle to desert.
The Sahara desert stretches across Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Chad before transitioning into a belt of dry grasslands called ‘The Sahel’… and into savanna and tropical forests stretching from Senegal in the west to the heart of Africa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Despite its many attractions, the region is for travelers with serious skills.
The tourist infrastructure here is not always as developed as in other parts of Africa, and political conflicts can bring a leisurely travel to a sudden halt.
Consult the US State Department website for traveler warnings before visiting the region – and plan your adventures accordingly.
The lush rainforests of the Republic of Congo offer a wondrous setting for wildlife lovers.
Some of the best opportunities for seeing animals are at Odzala National Park.
Here, a patchwork of wide clearings, called “bais”, dot the landscape.
Their abundant vegetation and mineral deposits attract a menagerie of animals, including forest elephants…sitatunga (marshbuck)…wild hogs, and rare lowland gorillas, to name just a few.
Working together, park officials and a variety of governmental and non-governmental organizations have developed new wildlife tourism opportunities in this special place – in the hopes that dollars raised will aid to wildlife conservation, here, and across the region.
For more wildlife watching, head west to the coast of Gabon to Loango Park.
Members of the local communities within the park act as eco-guides, scientists and wardens – and with good reason.
At its mangroves and shores, it’s not just people who come to the beach.
Here forest elephants wander across the sand.
Hippos play in the surf.
And whales come to mate off Gabon’s shores.
While there are loads of chances to see wildlife in this part of Africa, it’s the region’s cultural heritage that truly sets it apart from the rest of the continent.
In many places, modern life is still influenced by age-old traditions.
Southern Mali is Dogon Country.
At its center is a stretch of broad plateaus and stunning cliffs, known as the Bandiagara.
The cliffs shelter the villages of the Dogon.
An intensely spiritual people, the Dogon are also famous for their artistry.
They create elaborate masks and dances for their religious festivals.
One festival, the Dama, is particularly important.
It marks the passing of life into death… and establishes a connection between this world and the next.
In Ghana, ceremonies both old and new intermingle.
Funerals especially are anything but a drab affair.
Coffins sometimes come in fantastical designs.
As a procession makes it way, mourners pay tribute to the deceased’s life…and ask for blessings as the deceased joins other honored ancestors.
In Togo and Benin the traditional religion Vodun – or as its more commonly known in America – voodoo – is an integral part of the community’s spiritual health.
One tradition is the Epe Ekpe festival, held every September in the coastal town of Glidji, [GLEE-jee] Togo.
Followers purify themselves for the upcoming year, give thanks and ask for divine blessings.
On this day, the festival priest receives a lucky sign – this year will be a fortunate one for Vodun followers, and travelers lucky enough to witness the raucous celebrations.
To genuinely experience the region’s rich cultures this is the sort of place where you put down the guidebook and hit the road.
Or, you could always ditch the car and join a camel caravan.
Either way, thrilling travel opportunities will be right around the corner.

Morrissey slams President Obama's turkey pardon
Listen to Morrissey on iHeartRadio
Morrissey is making it perfectly clear that he doesn't see anything funny in President Obama's Thanksgiving turkey pardon.
The singer posted a scathing statement dubbed "Thankskilling" on his "True to You" website Tuesday, slamming the president for openly supporting "a viciously cruel and environmentally irresponsible industry."
Morrissey accuses Obama of laughing while 45 million birds are "horrifically abused." He also uses statistics from PETA to argue that turkey meat is one of the nation's "top killers" because all the saturated animal fats and cholesterol cause heart attacks and strokes.

U.S. Sen. Al Franken introduced legislation Tuesday to improve safety in smaller courthouses throughout the country.
The bill would allow used security equipment from the federal government to go to local courthouses. The bill also clarifies that money from two federal grants can be used to improve courthouse safety and encourages local law enforcement to take advantage of federal training programs.
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar as well as Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark, are co-sponsoring the bill. The bill heads next to the Senate Judiciary Committee, but hearings haven't been scheduled yet.
A recent analysis by MPR News revealed courthouse safety is inconsistent throughout the state.
Two people were shot at the Cook County courthouse when a man convicted in a trial there opened fire. Franken cited that case as one reason for his bill.
"This is really in reaction to what happened in Grand Marais," Franken said. "And then once that happened in December, we started looking into this and really saw that there's a disparity in security at courthouses between rural and suburban courthouses and urban."
Franken hopes the legislation moves forward this year.
"I think there's a very good chance this will pass. I don't think this is a controversial bill," the Minnesota Democrat said. "Again, its totally bi-partisan, it's completely common sense and it doesn't cost anything."

This pasta salad is summer. It's backyard barbecues and days at the beach.
I hated summer camp as a kid. Loved summer (duh), hated summer camp. I went to one of those day camps with my best friend at the local high school. I mean, we were in a school during the summer – what's that about?
We spent our days trying to avoid playing volleyball and kickball and sitting around in our overalls, making friendship bracelets and talking about which Now and Then character we were. The highlight of my day was getting a frozen Snickers or a Gatorade from the vending machine.
Another thing I always looked forward to was lunch (yes, some things are very much the same.) I think my mom knew I hated camp, (I may have made it painfully obvious. In fact, that may have been the summer I perfected my signature eye roll.) so she sent me off with some extra special lunches in the summer months. Ones like this one, that I still think about.

Limbaugh: Half of Kerry's political base "hates the military, hates America"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
Radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that "half of the [Kerry political] base hates the military, hates America." Then, in discussing a new advertisement by MoveOn PAC that depicts an American soldier caught in the "quagmire" of Iraq, Limbaugh declared that the ad was a "classic illustration" of the fact that "extreme liberals ... love it when the military loses."
From the September 17 edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: [O]ne of the things we've learned is that [Senator John] Kerry has two elements of his base. And that's why, no matter what he says, he angers half the base.
Half the base is so-called old reasonable Democrats, and they don't hate the military. The other half of the base hates the military, hates America, hates Bush, hates the world except for France and Germany.
LIMBAUGH: It's [the MoveOn PAC ad] a classic illustration of their "Blame America first." It is a classic illustration of all that I have told you about extreme liberals and their view of the military. They hate it. They love it when the military loses. They consider the military the focus of evil in the modern world.
Limbaugh is not the only conservative member of the media who has questioned Democrats' patriotism. Media Matters for America has documented similar smears by Oliver North, by Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto, by right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, and by FrontPageMag.com editor-in-chief David Horowitz.
Limbaugh's message that liberals "hate America" and "hate the military" is currently being broadcast to U.S. troops overseas via the taxpayer-funded American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS). After exposing Limbaugh's comments downplaying, dismissing, and even endorsing the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, MMFA created an online petition calling for Limbaugh's removal from AFRTS. Nearly 45,000 people have signed the petition. On June 14, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution calling for fairness and balance on AFRTS. Limbaugh is presently the sole politically partisan host featured on the service's talk channel.

DOWNEY - The original full-size space shuttle mock-up built in 1972 - before the real thing - is coming out of storage and will soon be displayed in Downey.
The shuttle, made mostly of wood and plastic, will be displayed in the Downey Studios parking lot starting next month, city officials said.
The mock-up has been in storage for a decade in a warehouse. A temporary tent will be erected to house the historic shuttle, said Mayor Roger Brossmer.
"Our ultimate goal is to get it on display. This is the original shuttle, and we think it's a national treasure," he said. "By mid-July it will be moved into the tent, where people will be able to access our ... mock-up in raw form."
Plans are in the works to restore the shuttle and to build a permanent home for the artifact, all of which will cost about $2 million, Brossmer said.
"The idea is we're not going to be talking about some mythical thing - it's here," he said. "We have literally thousands of kids who come to our center to learn about science and mathematics today. I think corporations are going to want to get behind this and support it."
The 122-foot-by-78-foot mock-up was built by North American Rockwell, which later became Rockwell International and then part of the Boeing Co. The company later won a NASA contract to build the real space shuttles.
When the real shuttle was built, the mock-up "lost its luster," said Scott Pomrehn, executive director of Columbia Memorial Space Center.
"In 1999, Rockwell left and the city was interested in keeping the mock-up," he said. "NASA gave it to the city of Downey and it's been in storage for 10 years."
Every Apollo Command Module and space shuttle was designed and assembled in the buildings at the space center.
The city is hoping to bring in some of the original workers from the 1972 construction team to help refurbish the mock-up to its original form, Brossmer said.
"This will be a way for people to come in and see what was actually built at this location. This is where (the shuttle) was built. It was where the engineers worked," Brossmer said. "This is very hallowed ground, and we're going to take advantage of that."
Generating the needed funds could take up to two years, he said.
For now, the front of the center is being repaved in preparation for the tent's erection.
"We would like to see people be able to get in it, touch it. See what it's like. We are very excited," Brossmer said. "This is the place where all the dignitaries came and had their pictures taken. We are going to have to get people's support to keep this going so we can continue to honor what has gone on at this site."
In addition to the mock-up, the center is working to preserve and display several other major space engineering artifacts, including test capsules.
"In the heyday there were 30,000 people who worked here a day," Brossmer said. "Those people remember this place."

Rock Hill, S.C. - The no. 3 seed Brevard College women's tennis team defeated the no. 6 Tusculum College Pioneers on Wednesday afternoon at the Rock Hill Tennis Center, as the Tornados advanced to the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference semifinals behind their 5-1 quarterfinal victory.
Claire Dillman and Michelle Prata struck first for the Tornados on court no. 2, topping Katie Hillis and Kristen Keefer, 8-2 for the first point of the match.

Blake Thompson and Megan Buckmaster put the Pioneers on the board on court no. 3, downing Elise Labus and Jennifer Nyman 9-7 to send the score to 2-1 heading into singles action.
Dillman recorded the first point of singles play for the Tornados on court no. 3 as the 2011 All-SAC Second Teamer defeated Buckmaster in straight sets 6-2, 6-0. Prata finished shortly after on court no. 4, defeating Keefer 6-4, 6-2 to put the Tornados within one match of advancing to the SAC semifinals.
With matches on courts no. 2 and no. 5 heading into the third set and court no. 6 about to start play, Shaeffer took the final point of the match on court no. 1, halting play as she clinched the win for the Tornados with her 6-2, 6-2 victory over Conley.

Frank Ocean's cousin wants $3 million from Chris Brown
Listen to Frank Ocean on iHeartRadio | Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
Frank Ocean's cousin wants more than $3 million from Chris Brown for a fight between the singers' respective entourages earlier this year.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ.com, Ocean's cousin, Sha'Keir Duarte, is suing Brown for $3 million for pain, suffering, emotional distress and punitive damages.
He is asking for an additional $60,000 to cover medical bills. Duarte claims one of Brown's bodyguards landed at least 12 kicks to his body during a brawl at a West Hollywood recording studio in January.
Since Duarte's lawsuit was filed back in August, Chris Brown has filed a countersuit claiming that Duarte provoked the fight.
Chris Brown is currently spending 90-days in a residential treatment facility for anger management issues.

All but two of Salt Lake County's city police forces grew between 2006 and 2011, while one city joined the Unified Police Department.
Figures in the FBI's Uniform Crime report show that Draper, South Jordan and Taylorsville saw the largest growth, in terms of percentage, over that time period. Draper's force grew by 16.1 percent or five officers while South Jordan's ranks increased 13.6 percent and Taylorsville went up 10.9 percent, each adding six officers.
The only two Salt Lake County departments that saw a reduction in force were Sandy, where the ranks went from 114 in 2006 to 107 in 2011, for a 6.1 percent drop. South Salt Lake went from 62 to 59 officers, for a 4.8 percent drop in police officers.
Midvale's police force went from 44 in 2006 to none in 2011, as it went with the Unified Police Department.
Cottonwood Heights went from having no police force to 37 officers in 2011.
The county's largest city police force, the Salt Lake City Police Department, grew 3.2 percent, with 13 officers joining the force.
In Davis County, North Salt Lake had the largest growth in police officers, 28.6 percent or four officers. Woods Cross' force increased 18.2 percent with two officers joining the force.
None of Davis County's city police forces experienced a drop in numbers during that time period.
The data were compiled by UtahsRight.com for a weekly series in The Salt Lake Tribune's Close-Up section highlighting information gleaned from public databases. The purpose is not to provide analysis of the data, but to provide raw numbers so the public an analyze the data themselves for their own purposes.

Guill scores first collegiate goal in 4-2 loss to SaintsOctober 3, 2009
North Georgia defeats Brevard 4-2
Brevard, N.C. - Brevard freshman, Ryan Guill scored his first collegiate goal Saturday afternoon, while senior Ian Townson notched a goal on a penalty kick. However, the Tornados ultimately fell 4-2 to the visiting Saints of North Gerogia in a rough, hard-fought game.
With the win North Georgia improves to 4-5 while Brevard drops to 1-10 on the season.
North Georgia began the scoring seven minutes in with a Chris Griffith goal. Then at 18:19 they added another when Juan Gonzales' shot ricocheted off the post to Juan Hurtado who knocked the ball into the left corner of the net.
The Tornados were first to score in the second half when Ian Townson easily rocketed a penalty shot past goalkeeper, Rade Tanaskovic to make the score 2-1.
Hurtado then scored his second goal of the game for the Saints at 71:38 to put North Georgia up 3-1.
Minutes later, Renato Barbosa took advantage of a free kick opportunity and connected with Guill for the Tornados second goal.
North Georgia scored an insurance goal at 88:25 increasing their lead to 4-2 which would be the final.
Tanaskovic tallied just three saves on the day for the Saints despite the Tornados 14 total shots while Shaw his counterpart also tallied just three saves despite 16 shots from the Saints.
The Tornados return to action at 7 p.m. on Wednesday when they travel to Queens for another non-conference match.

Brevard, N.C- Manzey Miller's game-winning three-point attempt rimmed out in the final seconds of Brevard's 73-71 loss to Lincoln Memorial to halt the Tornados second-half comeback.on Wednesday night in Boshamer Gym.
Miles Leathers pulled down the rebound of a missed free throw by LMU's Chance Jones before the Tornados held for the last shot.
The Tornados were down 13 points early in the second half before clawing back into the game using runs of 8-2 and later 9-2 to pull within two points at 63-61 with 3:33 left in the game.
A three from Gerel Simmons brought the Tornados to within a point with 1:18 left in the game, but that was as close as the Tornados would come to catching the Railsplitters.
Leathers led the Tornados with 20 points and seven rebounds, and finished 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. Dominique Pickett, Alex Moe and Miller also finished in double figures for BC.
Miller distributed a career-high eight assists to only one turnover.
The Tornados are back in action as they travel to Hickory to take on the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears in Shuford Memorial Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. The Bears took the first game of the season series 70-64 in Boshamer Gymnasium on January 12th.
LMU will travel to Anderson on Saturday looking to avenge a 67-66 loss at home to the Trojans earlier this season.

Good afternoon all,
I am having a problem with passing 2 values through my URL and I think it's something to do with my .htaccess file.
When any internal link on my site is clicked, I pass a $_GET variable and depending on that value, display the relative page.
I have an 'Offers' page containing 3 offers. There is a link for each offer and the idea is to populate my textarea on my contact page with the value of the offer, should they be linked to my contact page via the Offers page.
Trouble is, my .htaccess file I believe only deals with the instance of 1 $_GET value being passed, but anymore and it doesn't work.
My is here:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
How can I accommodate multiple values being passed?
The website link is here: http://www.tspv-websites.co.uk/Offer
Kind regards,
You'll need the query string append flag. "Appends any query string from the original request URL to any query string created in the rewrite target."
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
Good evening,
Thanks for the reply.
I've added your code and it doesn't work for me.
How should I write the second value?
At the minute, this works for one variable:
Contact
And i'm trying to pass the second like:
Deal 1
I've nearly got it working and the page loads, but for some reason the stylesheet is not being applied. Although when I look through developer tools, it is loaded in the . No elements have any style whatsoever.
If you visit here: http://www.tspv-websites.co.uk/Offer and click on the Deal 1 button, you will see exactly what I mean.
Here is my code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)/([a-zA-Z_0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1&deal=$2 [L]
The URL looks good, the stylesheet is showing as loaded. This is very strange.
Anyone got any thoughts?
The problem you're having is simply the change of directory level of the incoming request. When you redirect with multiple "entry" request directory levels, you either need the <base> tag or absolute URIs for your support pages. More in my signature's tutorial.
As an aside, I'd recommend that you determine the Apache version you're using to get rid of the optional /'s and your RewriteBase / is doing nothing (useful) do I'd think that should be deleted, too.
You're rewriting most every URL to index.php, which means your CSS request is likely being rewritten as well. The simplest fix would be to exclude any real file from being rewritten.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z_]+)/([a-zA-Z_0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1&deal=$2 [L]
Good morning both,
I used DK's method by adding the <base> tag above all my external files in the  and it's working perfectly now.
Thank you both very much.

Topic: Remembering my sister
My sister, Karen, passed in 1989 when she was only 42yrs old. She was diagnosed with Sclerosing Cholangitis and eventually entered University Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa for a liver transplant at which time it was discovered she was full of cancer. Knowing what I know now, I'm certain she also must have had Cholangiocarcinoma. I was fortunate enough to have met Dr. Rudy Pena and his lovely wife Becky on a flight out of Salt Lake City this past Sunday. As is always Gods will, people who are destined to cross paths....do. I have dealt with my sisters death pretty much on my own until now. Hopefully, I will find eager ears and warm hearts here that will open my eyes to the hows and whys of Karens death. She was a nurse and after she died, Gods will pushed me into the direction of nursing. I have been an ER nurse for the last 14yrs with my sister riding copilot in my heart. I will be back here again another day but for now I need to go. The ER is getting busy again as it always does at this time in the morning. God bless to all here.....TJ

Approved, March 3, 1944.

It didn't take long for the internet to jump all over Gwyneth Paltrow yesterday for her comments about how it is much more difficult for someone like her to be a mom rather than a mom who works a 9 to 5 job and comes home every night. The NY Post ran a great open letter from a regular mom. You can read the whole thing here, but below are some excerpts.
"Thank God I don't make millions filming one movie per year" is what I say to myself pretty much every morning as I wait on a windy Metro-North platform, about to begin my 45-minute commute into the city. Whenever things get rough, all I have to do is keep reminding myself of that fact. It is my mantra.
And I know all my fellow working-mom friends feel the same. Am I right, ladies?
We're always gabbing about how easy it is to balance work and home life. Whenever I meet with them at one of our weekly get-togethers — a breeze to schedule, because reliable baby sitters often roam my neighborhood in packs, holding up signs peddling their services — we have a competition to see who has it easier. Is it the female breadwinners who work around the clock to make sure their mortgages get paid, lying awake at night, wracked with anxiety over the idea of losing their jobs? Or is it the mothers who get mommy-tracked and denied promotions? What about the moms with "regular" 9-to-5 jobs, who are penalized when their kids are sick and they don't have backup child care?
Those women are living the dream, I tell you!"
So far, I haven't seen anything from the Goopster apologizing or anything about how it was taken out of context or anything else that would make her likable. She just doesn't understand that she really needs to keep quiet because she never makes a good public statement, which considering who her publicist is and all the people in her support system seems almost impossible to do, but she manages to tick people off, every time she opens her mouth.

27 years old female from Mumbai asked
My 5 years old son has to fill his tooth if we did not fill it and leave it untreated so its ok bcoz his milk teeth will naturally going to all down.
The common age of new permanent molars coming is almost 11-12 years. And your son is just 5 years old. The primary dentition is going to fall for sure but the age from 5-11 is not going to come back. And that is a major growth period in your child's life. So kindly care of the primary teeth. God has given your child the primary dentition with a reason. And hence you have to preserve it.
35 years old female from Hyderabad asked
How to give up chewing tobacco and pan masala. My friend was addicted and the dentist prescribed some chewing gum (not the ones available in any drugstore like nulife). The candy was blue filled in jelly like and each cost around Rs43. Accidentally I forgot the name and lost contact of her as well. She gave up everything after ten days. She was asked to chew just two gums per day. Could you please help me if you could suggest me the name of that particular gum. Thank you.
Homeopath, Nadiad
There is no quick fix or standard method of quitting smoking. However, there are several effective methods and treatments; it is up to each individual to find the one that suits them best. The "no-smoking contract" set a quit date. If it seems easier to you, you can set a quitting 'period' instead. The smoker's diary: many smokers have told us that writing a journal opened their eyes to a habit (smoking) that they thought they knew. Become a forum user and support and encourage each other. Get busy with friend who loves you and does not smoke. NICOTINE CHEWING GUM How to use nicotine gum You can take it throughout the day, or only when you are tormented by the urge to smoke. Because of its flexibility, it is especially indicated for irregular smokers. Take at least 10 pieces per day. If you feel the urge to smoke, use more gum or use either a patch or a nicotine inhaler at the same time. If you smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day, you can save money, cut a 4 mg chewing in 2 and use 1/2 piece at a time. Duration of treatment: From 8 weeks to 3 months. Important: For the best results, follow these chewing instructions: Slowly chew the gum: the taste appears After about 10 chews, take a pause by wedging the gum between the cheek and gum Wait until the taste is attenuated Again slowly chew the gum (gum = 30 minutes) Tips from smoking cessation specialist doctors Avoid drinking coffee or fruit juice (acid) before and while using the gum, as these drinks reduce its effectiveness. Chewing the gum too quickly releases too much nicotine, a tangy taste, a decrease in the effectiveness of the gum, hiccups, or stomach ache. Do not stop treatment prematurely as this will decrease your chances of success.

I am having little bit in jaw near ear and head ache not severe and this jaw pain on yawning and applying pressure on it. And teeth sensitivity also neck pain also?
MDS, Certified Implantologist, BDS, Certified Conscious Sedationist
Dentist, Hyderabad
This could be the TMJ Pain (pain in right & left joints of jaws). In your case this seems to be due to improper bite due to excessive wearing of your teeth coz which there is sensitivity in your teeth too. This type of conditions are mostly associated with head ache also n pain radiates to ear. Though there are few precautions like avoiding Hard Food to put less force on your jaws. Avoid hot & cold to take care of sensitivity. Can take Muscle Relaxant twice a day. Simple Open-Close Mouth exercises. Further for a definitive solution for this get a Consultation from a PROSTHODONTIST (Dental Specialist) who can deal with TMD Cases like u. U may need bite Corrections. If well equipped clinic then they can do TMJ Analysis with specialized scans.

Hi sir/mam. My problem is I can not open my mouth because of chewing gutkha. And its paining when I try to open. So please suggest me any medicine for quick result.
Homeopath, Mumbai
lybrate-userthanks for using Lybrate. Firstly I advise you to immediately stop consuming guthka anymore as it will more increase your problem. For pain you can have any pain killer and try to do some jaw excercise. For few days try this and see how it works if pain and opening of mouth will not improve then consult a physician who can thoroughly examine you.
20 years old male from Hyderabad asked

Dentist, Gurgaon
Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth allowing you to reach all areas easily. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush wonât do a good job of cleaning your teeth. The proper brushing technique is to: Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gums. Gently move the brush back and forth in short (tooth-wide) strokes. Brush the outer surfaces, the inner surfaces, and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. To clean the inside surfaces of the front teeth, tilt the brush vertically and make several up-and-down strokes. Of course, brushing your teeth is only a part of a complete dental care routine. You should also make sure to: Clean between teeth daily with floss. Tooth decay-causing bacteria still linger between teeth where toothbrush bristles canât reach. This helps remove plaque and food particles from between the teeth and under the gum line. Eat a balanced diet and limit between-meal snacks. Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams.

Oral sex carries negligible to low risk especially if there are bleeding gums or sores. You need to be tested at four weeks and if Negative, require a confirmation at three months of last exposure.

year old female from Bangalore asked
He is 5 age year old. Today his central incisor of lower jaw lose in his gum. Shall tooth remove itself? But in generally, in around age 7-8 age years old, baby incisors tooth will remove. But now he's 5 age year old only. Is it wrong? Please explain me.
Dentist, Secunderabad
The lower incisors come out by 6-7 years of age. If there is no history of trauma or fall, no decay or discolouration in the tooth, it could just be fine. However, it is preferable if a dentist examines the child personally and if deemed necessary, get an x-ray for the lower teeth. This would be to check the development status of the permanent teeth. Thanks, hope this clears your doubts. Have a nice day.

Hi lybrate-user, I appreciate you seeking help. Advise get an X-Ray done and connect with the report for further naturopathic traction. Sometimes joint pain is seen, especially at the temperomandibular joint and can be alleviated with natural medicines suitably. For the time being, suggest avoid biting any kind of hard food stuff including chocolates, nuts, meat etc all as it is likely to aggravate the pain/ condition. A little bit of cold application, externally, can help lessen swelling, if any. Stay well hydrated, and keep your diet and lifestyle streamlined. Do take care, and all the very best. Sincerely,

Gum diseases are very common and occur in most of us at some time in life. Also known as periodontal disease, gum diseases happen to be a widespread condition in which your gums get swollen and feel irritable.
Gum disease is nothing very serious and there are several simple home remedies for a gum disease.
Here are the best home remedies which you can use to cure gum disease:
- Oil pulling: This method cures swollen and red gums and is also used in cases of reversing a gum disease, which causes bone loss. The procedure involves the pulling out of toxins out of the mouth and gums. Plaque build-up is also removed by this process. You can use organic oils such as sesame, olive oil or coconut oil. Oil pulling is an efficient remedy for gum disease.
- Sage leaf decoction: This process is an old folk remedy for curing gingivitis and gum diseases. You should boil 50 organic sage leaves in distilled water and gargle with the decoction more than two times a day. Use it as a mouthwash as well. You can also consume sage tea as another option. Sage contains antioxidants, which are anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial.
- Garlic and Turmeric paste: Using garlic cloves to treat irritated gums is effective. You can prepare a paste with garlic and turmeric and use it in the form of toothpaste. Garlic and turmeric contain antibacterial properties and are anti-inflammatory.
- Neem: Neem is a plant which can be used to treat gum diseases effectively. Neem can be used as a mouthwash or you can opt for neem toothpastes. Neem contains antifungal and antibacterial properties and is one of the best treatment options for gum disease.
- Mustard oil: Mustard oil is an old practice for curing gum disease and poor dental health. It helps in destroying bacteria present in the mouth and heals gum disease very fast. It also contains pain relieving properties and is antimicrobial and antibacterial.
- Aloe Vera gel: Aloe Vera gel is purely natural and accounts for great anti-inflammatory functions. Aloe Vera gel is used in cases of inflamed, red gums.
- Plenty of fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables are full of valuable nutrients, which help in keeping the teeth clean. Leafy vegetables should be consumed regularly. Consumption of plenty of fruits and vegetables also protects your teeth from the plaque buildup, and hence, gum diseases can be prevented.
Gum disease is a common dental condition. It is nothing to worry about and can be cured using several home remedies. In case of severe gum disease, you should visit the dentist.

GSA/Navy Team Gets Hammer Award for Cutting Cost, Time and 1,000 Pages out of Computer Acquisition Process
March 25, 1997
Contact: Darlene Meskell
or Hap Connors
In the not-so-distant past, the Navy dedicated 15 to 40 people and spent over $6 million and 30 months to complete a competitive award to acquire computer hardware and software products for their customers. The request for proposal required by this process was more than 1,000 pages long.
A team of 13 acquisition specialists from the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Navy, challenged to reinvent the process, used Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) available through GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS) Schedules Program to streamline the process. They replaced the 1,000-page procurement document with a 3-page request for quotes, reduced the required personpower to four people spending three months, and, over time, will save the Government $50 million.
In recognition of this achievement, the team received Vice President Gore's Hammer Award today. The award was presented by GSA Acting Administrator David J. Barram and Jeffrey Goldstein, representing the National Performance Review.
"The team took the simple, yet bold, idea that Federal purchasing could successfully mirror commercial buying practices," Barram said. "It revolutionized the FSS Schedule Program by stripping away layers of regulations that are unique to the Government and redesigning the order process to reflect marketplace thinking. The result is speed, choice, convenience and savings."
The team set up nine BPAs for the Navy's use in purchasing notebooks and desktop computers, printers, servers, and peripheral equipment. BPAs are particularly cost-effective for large buys, since they are flexible and take advantage of market forces.
Barram presented separate Hammer Awards to the Navy team leader, Larry J. Core, of the Tactical Advanced Computer Project Office, and to the GSA team leader, Nick Economou, Director of the FSS Acquisition Management Center.

'Injustice: Gods Among Us' is almost here. Since seeing the images and videos and playing it at NYCC, the game's release date has always felt so far off. The release date as well as details for the Battle Edition have been revealed.
For some, playing with a fight stick makes all the difference. Looking at this picture makes it feel that much more real. The game is almost here.
When is it coming out? The game will be released in North America on April 16 for Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii U system from Nintendo.
The Battle Edition package will be available in limited quantities at Gamestop and EB Games stores. The Battle Edition is only available for Xbox 360 and PS3. Here's the PS3 version, which is basically the same with a different case:
The Battle Edition will retail for $149.99. It includes the game disc, exclusive fight stick with official artwork and three exclusive skins based on Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman from the New 52. The stick is a lightweight controller that has a non-skid foam underside, a lockout feature for the Start, Select and Guide buttons as well as adjustable illumination for the buttons and joystick.
But that's not all. An image for the Collector's Edition has also been revealed.
This will (obviously) be sold separately for $99.99 at various retailers throughout Nort America for Xbox 360 and PS3. The Collector's Edition includes an exclusive DC Collectibles statue, a special collector's edition of the comic book, a digital download of the animated film Justice League: Doom and three exclusive skins.
What's worth noting (and as @SuperZeroInc also tweeted me), it looks like we have another confirmed character for the game?

That Byng had not done all he could is undeniable, and he therefore fell under the law.
Byng handed over the thick stack of bills he had taken from Alan.
How does he know that Byng has not a revolver hidden in his breast-pocket?
Byng and Hawkes had tried to block the doorway and they had been shot down.
A fleet of ten ships, under the command of Admiral Byng, was sent out to the Mediterranean.
Hawkes was killed instantly; Byng died an hour later in the hospital.
Byng falls back a pace or two, and puts up his hand to his head.
After my talk with Byng, we went on to meet Fanshawe and de Lisle.
So saying, he shoots off in pursuit of the retreated figures, and Mrs. Byng and her escort are again left tte--tte.
At 11 o'clock Birdwood and Byng came over for a confab on the last upset.

Did/do you feed your children together or separately?
If you have tandem breastfed, did you feed your children together or separately? Did you notice that your older child wanted to breastfeed anytime the baby did? Did they seem to feed well at the same time, or was there any jealousy?
I tandem breastfed my first and second children. We talked about it before the baby was born, but my oldest was still a bit jealous when the baby arrived. He would push her away and try to pull her off the breast when she was feeding. I started to try letting them breastfeed at the same time and things seemed to get better. I slowly started to see them bond whilst breastfeeding, and it made me so happy when it seemed like he finally accepted his little sister breastfeeding and was ready to share. As time went on, I would sometimes breastfeed them at the same time, and other times I would breastfeed them separately.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I never tandem breastfed and I just assumed you should feed the baby first, and then offer the breast to the older child. However I liked the way it worked out for you and how your little ones were able to bond during the feedings.

2008 Allstate BCS National Championship
The whoop of Les Miles interrupted what had been a quiet, polite, press conference with the normally soft-spoken LSU coach reflecting on his good fortune of leading his bunch of football warriors.
In the middle of those introspective thoughts, Miles paused, and then gave out his bellow. "Excuse me. Just kind of had to do that,'' he said, "just one of those things.''
Exorcising his emotions was understandable. His Tigers had just earned LSU's second BCS championship trophy in four years, putting an end to a roller-coaster season of blowbacks, comebacks and setbacks, a season in which the sometimes under-appreciated Miles coached the Tigers to victories against five teams ranked in the final Top 15, and, in the process of fighting severe injuries and outside distractions, defeated five coaches with national championship resumes: South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, Florida's Urban Meyer, Alabama's Nick Saban, Tennessee's Phil Fulmer, and, now, Ohio State's Jim Tressel.
That took some doing, which eventually, after the Tigers' not-as-close-as-the-final-score 38-24 victory over Ohio State, made LSU the first two-game losing champion since Minnesota in 1960. Thinking back on it from his spot on the post-game podium, Miles mused of his team of domination, dramatics and second chances, "It was like divine intervention.''
To the Ohio State players, early in the game, it seemed like divine guidance. Sophomore tailback Chris "Beanie" Wells broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown on the Buckeyes' first possession. On Ohio State's second series, backup running back Brandon Saine found himself free, courtesy of broke coverage, and caught a 44-yard pass to the LSU 15. Three plays later, junior kicker Ryan Pretorius kicked a 25-yard field goal.
Things had to look easy at this point for Ohio State, seeing as how the Buckeyes gave up just a nation-leading average of 10.0 points per game. This one, to some, must have seemed over.
Think again. LSU had been down by 10 against three other opponents (Florida, Auburn, Alabama) and won them all. "The coaches sat us down and reminded us we've been in big games before,'' said sophomore offensive tackle Ciron Black. "That we've been down before, to just focus and play like we know how to play.''
From the point of that 10-point deficit, with 9:12 left in the first quarter, LSU proceeded to control the ball, running 36 of the next 55 plays, converting eight of its next nine third downs and stopping Ohio State on four of its next five.
The Tiger rally began with senior quarterback Matt Flynn leading LSU on a 10-play drive to set up junior kicker Colt David's 32-yard field goal. The Tigers were showing some signs of life.
Flynn then drove his team 84 yards - thanks in large measure to two personal fouls on the Buckeyes - to a tying touchdown. Flynn saw Ohio State preoccupied with four LSU receivers bunched to the right and took a quick snap and hit tight end Richard Dickson for a 13-yard score.
With the score evened, the stage was set for a second quarter 21-0 point eruption the likes of which the defensive stalwart Buckeyes couldn't have imagined.
Things conceivably might have been altered, but for the biggest play of the night - by the most unlikely player, but fittingly, considering this unconventional season.
Ohio State drove back to the LSU 21 to line up for a 38-yard Pretorius field goal. Suspecting a fake, Ricky Jean-Francois hesitated a nanosecond and then roared in, throwing aside a Buckeye lineman, and getting a hand on the ball. Junior linebacker Darry Beckwith fell on it at the 34. LSU then drove to the go-ahead touchdown - which would never be relinquished - a 10-yard pass from Flynn to sophomore receiver Brandon LaFell.
"They were in position to add three points,'' Miles said, "and instead we get the short field and come back to get seven. That was really a big play.''
LSU ended up scoring 31 straight points, with a four-yard Flynn pass to senior wide receiver Early Doucet early in the third quarter. This game seemed over, and it was, though both teams would trade meaningless touchdowns down the stretch.
As purple-and-gold confetti rained down on the field at game's end, it was left to LSU senior defensive end Kirston Pittman to put everything into perspective: "We're a team of fight, a team of destiny,'' he said. "There were people who didn't think we belonged here . . .'' Then a big roar went up as Jean-Francois, the game's defensive MVP, held aloft the Waterford symbol of the BCS Championship, and Pittman finished, "But you see who's holding up the crystal trophy now.''
The only bigger winner of the postseason was the Sugar Bowl, which pulled off its two games in championship fashion, gaining kudos and accolades from across the sporting world.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

AUBURN — Gary Garabedian, the sales representative at Woodbrook North, says there's too much riding on a new-home purchase for buyers to settle for anything less than genuine craftsmanship.
That's why he wants guests to know the community's two-level homes with three- and four-bedroom designs are "all about the real deal."
Built by Schneider Homes, Woodbrook North is located on a sidewalk-edged lane on Auburn's West Hill and is within minutes of Interstate 5 and state Route 167.
Woodbrook North's Cascade vistas and natural greenbelts create a relaxing tone, which extends to the homes' interiors, Garabedian says.
"For Woodbrook North homebuyers, it's about using real materials and authentic craftsmanship," he says. "We've placed a lot of focus on certain items. Where a lot of local builders are using laminate finishes, Schneider Homes is using real hardwood floors and granite countertops."
Garabedian says presale buyers have expressed "how real it all is: real oak hardwood flooring, real maple cabinets, and real slab granite countertops in the kitchen and master bath. Not to mention the real savings they are going to see with each Energy Star-rated home's 95-percent-efficiency forced-air gas furnace and tankless water-heating system."
Seven of the 30 homes planned at Woodbrook North have been sold, and five others are under construction.
Kitchens feature GE stainless steel appliances and Shaker-style cabinets with soft-close drawers. Doors are accented by crown molding, and select plans include walk-in pantries and additional nook-style eating areas.
In the family room, a gas fireplace is framed by slab granite and capped by a wood mantle. Select plans also feature built-in entertainment niches.
Upstairs, the master-bedroom suite offers a walk-in closet with a wardrobe shelving system. The five-piece master bath has a ceramic-tile-wrapped soaking tub, separate shower with glass door, double-sink vanity with granite countertops, and oiled-bronze-finish bath fixtures.
Garabedian says early homebuyers especially like the floor plans that include a guest bedroom with its own bath on the main floor. "One-third of our plans offer this," he says.
"Schneider Homes is creating plans designed to succeed for homebuyers. Our buyers are especially impressed that we can do this with plans that are 1,900 to 2,300 square feet, but feel so much larger because of all the attention to design and detail."
Homes at Woodbrook North feature professionally landscaped front yards connected by a gate to fully fenced rear yards with covered patios for all-season use.
For a limited time, Woodbrook North is offering a spring bonus of $4,500 toward closing costs, or a refrigerator, washer and dryer, when buyers finance their purchase through Schneider Homes' preferred lender.

Hey I'm not doing any hacking right now, just trying to set up a network.
I have a computer running Linux, and it has two wifi cards:
1) wlan0 = RTL8187L (This is an Alfa 500mw)
2) wlan1 = rt73 (This is just a shitty little TP-Link USB stick)
So I've got an extension lead for the Alfa and it's mounted on top of my house. The Alfa is used to connect to a network which is about 100 metres away, and this network provides an Internet connection.
What I want to do is broadcast an AP from my other wifi card (the rt73), so that computers in my house can connect to it. I will set up routing between wlan1 and wlan0 so that computers in my house can access the internet.
Setting up wlan1 and setting up the routing will be a piece of cake:
Also I will set up DHCP on wlan1 so that all my computers at home can get connected to the access point with ease.Code:ifconfig wlan1 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -s 10.10.10.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Now, here's the question:
What program should I use for managing the access point which will be broadcast from wlan1?
I've heard of hostapd, airbase-ng and mdk3.
I want to have a full range of options for the AP I broadcast from wlan1, e.g. whether it's not encrypted, or WEP, or WPA.
Which program would you recommend? Which is most reliable and does its job the best for what I'm looking for?

Angioplasty and stent placement - carotid artery - dischargeCarotid angioplasty and stenting - discharge; CAS - discharge; Endarterectomy - carotid artery - discharge; Angioplasty - carotid artery - discharge
You had an angioplasty done when you were in the hospital. You may have also had a stent (a tiny wire mesh tube) placed in the blocked area to keep it open. Both of these were done to open a narrowed or blocked artery that supplies blood to your brain.
Your health care provider inserted a catheter (flexible tube) into an artery through an incision (cut) in your groin or your arm.
Your health care provider used live x-rays to carefully guide the catheter up to the area of the blockage in your carotid artery.
Then your health care provider passed a guide wire through the catheter to the blockage. A balloon catheter was pushed over the guide wire and into the blockage. The tiny balloon on the end was inflated. This opened the blocked artery.
What Expect at Home
You should be able to do most of your normal activities within a few days, but take it easy.
If your surgeon put the catheter in through your groin:
- Walking short distances on a flat surface is okay. Limit going up and down stairs to about 2 times a day for the first 2 to 3 days.
- Donot do yard work, drive, or play sports for at least 2 days, or for the number of days your doctor tells you to wait.
You will need to care for your incision.
- Your doctor or nurse will tell you how often to change your dressing (bandage).
- If your incision bleeds or swells, lie down and put pressure on it for 30 minutes. If the bleeding or swelling does not stop or gets worse, call your doctor and return to the hospital. Or, go to the closest emergency room,or call 911 right away. If bleeding or swelling are severe even before 30 minutes have passed, call 911 right away. Do not delay.
Having carotid artery surgery does not cure the cause of the blockage in your arteries. Your arteries may become narrow again. To lower your chances of this happening:
- Eat healthy foods, exercise (if your doctor advises you to), stop smoking (if you smoke), and reduce your stress level.
- Take medicine to help lower your cholesterol if your doctor prescribes it.
- If you are taking medicines for blood pressure or diabetes, take them the way your doctor has asked you to.
- Your doctor mayask you totake aspirin and/or another medicine called clopidogrel (Plavix), or another medicine,when you go home. These medicines keep your blood from forming clots in your arteries and in the stent. Donot stop taking them without talking with your doctor first.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor or nurse if:
- You have a headache, become confused, or have numbness or weakness in any part of your body.
- You have problems with your eyesight or you cannot talk normally.
- There is bleeding at the catheter insertion site that does not stop when pressure is applied.
- There is swelling at the catheter site.
- Your leg or arm below where the catheter was inserted changes color or becomes cool to touch, pale, or numb.
- The small incision from your catheter becomes red or painful, or yellow or green discharge is draining from it.
- Your legs are swelling.
- You have chest pain or shortness of breath that does not go away with rest.
- You have dizziness, fainting, or you are very tired.
- You are coughing up blood or yellow or green mucus.
- You have chills or a fever over 101°F.

Max Mara Fall 2013
The overriding mantra this season, for both young designers and those more established, is know who you are and show who you are. It also happens to be a season of great coats. All good news for Max Mara then, because those ideas are one and the same. Exceptional outerwear is the storied Italian house's hallmark, and with valid reason. Not only has the label managed to perfect a camel so luxurious and universally flattering that Pantone should name a shade after it, but also the versatile elegance their work evokes means their coats really can take women through every permutation of their day.
So that's what fall was about: coats, coats, and more coats. Coats of every size, coats of every shape, and coats in every shade of beige. And to really drive the point home, coats on top of coats. Fashion director Laura Lusuardi was inspired by the volumes and lines of Bauhaus, so silhouettes were oversize and structured. Big, minimalist alpaca and mohair coats were thrown over often more utilitarian shearling jackets or hoodies. All of this was worn almost exclusively with monochromatic, fluid track pants or straight skirts, and always with sneakers. It was as if Lusuardi were offering a clearly laid road map for women on how these clothes can be worn off the runway. Given the cold, snowy mess that is Milan today, that seemed particularly inviting.

How do you handle an over-protective brother and sister?
I have two older children who are very, very protective of their younger brother. Sometimes it is beyond what should be normal. How do you handle this?

I think this is normal in the majority of cases. Can you give us some specific examples so we can help you further with this? Your older children are still adapting to having a new sibling. It is likely that they have picked up on adults saying 'be careful around the baby', 'don't do that near the baby' etc (which sometimes is sadly over-conveyed to older sibling) and now they have taken this line of thinking of themselves. Do you think they have experienced this? What things helped to prepare them for their new brother? It will get easier as they adapt more to have a new brother and as their new brother gets more mobile and confident.
Warm wishes,
