'The Sabres were one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup last season, but the loss of Briere and Drury will make a title run a bit difficult this season. However, just because Buffalo won't be considered an Eastern Conference powerhouse this season, doesn't mean the team will be left out of the playoffs. After all, head coach Lindy Ruff has taken less talented teams to the postseason.'

- 2.5/5,
Pros - totally transformed sound reoroductoin
Cons - an awful lot of hard work
the 717 doesnt get a good write-up in relation to the valve units and they do have a point.etherical and light as somebody said transistorised ect.when staxs troubles started some years ago so did mine stopped working.On removing the cover in a minute I discovered that the mains input fuse had blown(600ma) I replaced it with a 1amp fuse after testing it by shorting out one leg of each full wave rectifiersin turn(blew every time). The transformer is high quality as is the volume control and electrolytic capacitors.But I was not so pleased with some of the active devices The input fets had a small plastic cap on them removing it revealed two cheap fets pressed together(thermal equality) .removing the other two(bjt)transistors plastic cap revealed two cheap low noise bjts /.The high voltage bjts (not the output devices) were the bottom of the range in a range of three.ALL the bjts that heated up were without heatsinks(on the daughter boards).The more heat the more noise. even if you do not hear it due to the low sensitivity it affects low level reproduction.The ac ripple was 140ma not good for something costing a lot of money.The low voltage(+-) 15 volts had only one pair of voltage regulators for both channels.not to good for o/h and there is more but my wife is shouting at me toget my dinner.ifhead-fi will allow I will carry on in another review(thats if you want me to.quaddo likes this.

text: 50.He-Man Come on, he was the Master of the Universe! Then again, the guy that he fought was a whole lot cooler. Still, it's interesting to see that it's swords, not steroids, that make you strong. 49.Blade While not quite as fetching as Sarah Michelle Gellar, he is still one heck of a vampire slayer. He just does it more violently. 48.Robin Personally, I think Robin gets a raw deal. On his own, with his acrobatic background, he could have been a tremendous crime fighter. 47.Mr. Fantastic While the ability to strech yourself is an odd superpower, it could come in quite handy around the house. Just think, you would no longer need a remote control! 46.The Phantom While the Phantom is not the first fictional costumed crimefighter, he is the first to wear the skintight costume, and the first to wear a mask with no visible pupils, another superhero standard. 45.Space Ghost Okay, I will admit it, I only really watched his talk show, but I have to assume that someone has to be really successful fighting crime if they get their own talk show. 44.Captain Planet One of the most positive superheroes, we were always reminded that... The Power Is Ours! 43.Rocky and Bullwinkle You might try to argue here, but think about it. Boris and Natasha were dangerous people, and these two distracted them. 42.DangerMouse DangerMouse was the first British cartoon to break into the American TV market, being shown in syndication on June 4, 1984, where it garnered a tremendous fan following that still exists. 41.Jem and The Holograms Yes, they are in fact truly outrageous. One shudders to think of the dastardly deeds that would have been done by The Misfits if this band of lovely ladies hadn't graced Saturday morning TV. 40.Optimus Prime The leader of the Transformers, and hands down, the coolest of the bunch. He was a semi... I think that settles any arguments. 39.Thor "I thought it would be fun to invent someone as powerful as, or perhaps even more powerful than, the Incredible Hulk. But how do you make someone stronger than the strongest human? It finally came to me: Don't make him human — make him a god." (Stan Lee) 38.Wonder Twins Zan had the cooler power, with the ability to become any form of water, or any storm. Janya could just become an animal... although I wouldn't mind being a monkey 37.Venom The anti-Spiderman, he is this low on the list because he needs a host body in order to survive. Otherwise, Venom is one heck of a character! 36.The Green Goblin He wins for coolest weapons. Who wouldn't be afraid of some crazy guy throwing pumpkin bombs? I know I am. 35.Doc Ock He beats out the Green Goblin based completely on size and strength. To be completely honest, it was pretty far-fetched that Spiderman could beat him. 34.The Punisher I am having a hard time figuring out if he is technically a hero or villain. But, seeing as how this is the world of make believe, I will choose to root for the guy who destroys evil. 33.The Incredibles Not only were they pretty tremendous at fighting the bad guys... they were also an example of fine superhero family values. And the mom was really good looking 32.Jack Harris A lot of people don't know this, but Jack Harris was once bitten on the throat by a radioactive love bug. That's how he got the booming voice. 31.The Tick Every genre needs the one character that is intended to make fun of the rest of the characters. The funniest thing about him is the fact that he is invincible, but feels pain. That is a blessing and a curse. 30.Thundercats Maybe this one is selfish, but I thought that Lionel and his pals were pretty awesome. But Snarf was the coolest. 29.Green Arrow My favorite part about him was his extensive collection of arrows, such as a glue arrow, a net arrow, explosive arrow, time bomb arrow, grappling arrow, fire extinguising arrow, flash arrow, and gas arrow. 28.Popeye He is too a superhero! Anyone who eats something to give them powers, in this case spinach, and then beats up bad guys, in this case Bluto, is most definitely a superhero. 27.Underdog He wasn't necessarily very good at his job, but in the end, he always got it done. "There's no need to fear, Underdog is here." 26.Super Daffy Speaking of not being very good at being a superhero... I give you "StuporDuck!" But he always made me laugh, and that's enough sometimes. 25.Skeletor One of the few villains that actually beats out the superhero... at least on this list. But I am sorry, he is just way cooler. 24.Flash Gordon Probably the most well-traveled of all of our superheroes, he had the disadvantage of being easily confused with the Flash. I thought they were the same person 23.The Greatest American Hero He had to make the list. Look at his name. 22.Daredevil Anytime that someone can be blind and still win while fighting the powers of evil, they deserve our respect. One of my favorite comic strip heroes of all time. 21.Green Hornet I am pretty sure that this is the last of our characters with the word "Green" in their name. What was the fascination with that color? 20.Dr. Claw Inspector Gadget doesn't even appear on the list, yet his villain does. Why? Because you never see Dr. Claw! 19.Silver Surfer I love his story, because it's nice to know that the Fantastic 4 were such good people that they were able to change the path of a very powerful being, and make him into a great superhero! 18.The Riddler He scared me the most of all the Batman villains growing up, because he was comepletely insane. You would have to be to taunt Batman 17.Green Lantern Dang it! I thought that we were done with the "Green People"!!! 16.Voltron This was more a genius of marketers at the time, realizing that kids would not leave their parents alone until they owned every single part of Voltron. 15.The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers These folks were way cooler than they were given credit for. And another great example of marketing. 14.The Penguin Some people say that DeVito was the best Penguin, but you are looking at the best... Burgess Meredith. 13.The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come on, what could be better than 4 surfer-dude turtles fighting a metal enemy using martial arts? Maybe if they had artistic names? 12.Thing Probably the superhero I would want to be if I couldn't choose one that flies. Nobody would ever mess with you. 11.Wolverine I guess there wouldn't be many people wanting to mess with me either if I had adamantium claws. 10.The Incredible Hulk I can remember the day when I heard that Bill Bixby had passed away. I think a small part of my childhood dies with him. 9.Wonder Woman Okay, so she isn't really worthy of being at #9, but it was a great excuse for me to have a photo of Lynda Carter in the top 10! 8.Lex Luthor The only villain that I have ever heard of that got to become President of the United States! (You can enter your Bush/Clinton jokes here) 7.Aquaman In pop culture, Aquaman has been the victim of satire and mockery for his powers, which are often portrayed in such situations as useless or irrelevant. People who think that are dead wrong. 6.The Flash You could argue that being this fast is even better than flying. You would be wrong, but you can argue it. 5.Captain America I wanted to put him high on the list so that people wouldn't question my patriotism. My problem is that the burrito guy ruined the image of Captain America for me. 4.The Joker The highest villain on the list, because he is easily the coolest. Nicholson's performance in the first Batman was the single best bad guy performace ever. 3.Superman Okay Superman fans, now is your time to cry because your guy only got as high as #3. I'm sorry, but he was an alien, which gave him a huge advantage. 2.Batman He accomplished his goals with strength and technology. He was all human, and drove the best car. Sweet. 1.Spiderman He was just a normal guy who got bit by a spider. I could identify with him. Except webbing doesn't come out of my body. Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

NEWS OF THE FUTURE!: Remember your New Year's Resolution to do a better job of planning this year? You're finally going to make use of that little desk calendar your insurance guy sends you every Christmas.
Today's column will help you fill in some blanks.
In fact, are you still doing that New Year's watch-your-weight thing? Fool! Your little resolution is powerless against the formidable sway of the Belmont Shore Chocolate Festival.
We've seen little wisps of things float into the annual fest only to waddle out hours later, barely able to heave their newfound heft onto truck beds to be hauled home.
The popular fest is different this year, but different in a way that will add even more tonnage to your frame by expanding into the world of "sweets," in addition to the more specific chocolate arena.
This year, it's being called the Belmont Chocolate Festival & Spring Sweets. And, rather than being held, as have past ones, in the chilly winter of February, it's moving down the calendar a page to March 24.
If you want to create as well as consume, one part of the festival that will remain intact is the Homemade Chocolate Dessert Contest, in which a panel of notable and honorable judges select winners in three categories: Chocolate Cakes & Pies, Chocolate Cookies & Brownies and Unique Chocolate Treats.
Entry fee is $10. Contest rules and entry forms are available online at www.belmontshore.org.
OC FAIR: The musical line-up for the July 31-Aug. 12 Orange County Fair is just beginning to take shape. Only a few bands have been announced, but how's this for starters: Journey, the Cure and Led Zeppelin.
And not the bands featuring all those old guys like Zep's 68-year-old Jimmy Page or Journey's 63-year-old Steve Perry. Nope, these are tribute bands: Journey Unauthorized, The Cure Tribute Experience and Heartbreaker (doing the Zep thing).
Later, the fair folk will be announcing bands that have yet to be tributed, but, as it's done the past few years, it's putting tribute acts in the fairground's Hangar venue.
Journey Unauthorized plays July 13; Heartbreaker performs July 14 and The Cure Tribute goes on July 20. All shows are at 8:30 p.m.; admission for each show is $15. Tickets go on sale Saturday at all Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 800-745-3000.
MORE ON PENN: A few readers will still recall our Wednesday column about, in part, former Long Beach musical great John Penn.
Penn writes with more info on the good-old 1970s, that his band in those days, Old Glory, included Ron Eglit, Valerie Ford and Steve Spurgin.
Spurgin, a great songwriter and performer, is Penn's labelmate now at Blue Night, Ford is performing as a ukulele wiz in Fullerton, and Eglit, who went on to play in Dick Dale's band, is now fronting the Surfaris and living in Huntington Beach.
Writes Penn: "Saw our album `Old Glory Inside' the other day for sale online out of Switzerland in original shrinkwrap for $175. Holy cow!"
Good thing we still have our copy.
SURF MUSIC PT. 2: Your friendly neighborhood bar, Max's Steiner, at 2500 Anaheim St., has been stepping up in the local music scene. On March 2, it's getting some cool Ventures-y music from the great surf guitarist Susan SurfTone. Mark it down. It's free.
HOPES=DASHED: News of the Future doesn't get any more futuristic than this:
Back in, say, 1960, we were positive that by the time we became an adult, we would have robots for housecleaners. They would wear a nice apron and be polite. Damned "Jetsons" and its rosy forecasts.
Instead, here we are closing in on 100 and still nothing in sight except for a touchy and irritable Roomba.
If you want to see what kind of robotic strides the next generation has in store, you should swing by the U.S. FIRST Robotics Competition coming March 15-17 at the Long Beach Arena.
Making use of cutting edge (though woefully late) science, technology, engineering and (sigh) math, students will be showing off their inventions in the competition.
It's open to everyone and it's free.

Been looking at what Java and .NET do in regard to event handling in web applications.
To date, most PHP apps which get into OO use a fusebox like approach, in that one script (usually index.php) is used to handle events - all things begin with index.php. That's fine but I'm wondering if there's a more generic way to do it - a class you can simple instantiate from anywhere to handle events?
Some resources for Java and .NET that discuss this;
The way I see it in PHP is something like this;
An EventRegister class (using a Singleton pattern) which any object can use to register events with.
An EventHandler class, which checks $GET, $POST, $COOKIE and $FILE for events registered with the EventRegister class.
The next (tough) question is how the EventHandler can fire off the event itself (e.g. an object which validates incoming $_POST data then another object which INSERTs into a database).
Any ideas? My attempts at writing the classes so far have left me deeply confused.
This could be interesting if you could make a way to pass an event queue to a script, there be having an unlimited order of events that can be passed.
If you could do this you could sort of extend the single request-response nature of a HTTP request.
Maybe... I don't know...
Definately. Hadn't looked it that way but thinking about sessions and serialize objects, should be very possible.
I'll post the code I've been playing with later (don't have it to hand right now).
Harry,I would not access the _POST _GET var directly but I will access them using a class.Something like the HttpRequest from Java.
In my app I have something like:
Class HttpRequest
function getMethod();
function getParam( $name );
function getRequestUri();
print $request->getParam( 'page' );
Just an idea.
About Event handling I had something similar on a C++ application that uses a GUI.
There was an Event class which is the event itself.There was an EventManager class which was the queue of events.There was a class Object that have a method called Event.Every element on the screen had an Event method.
So the code looked something like:
// Create an event and put it in the queueeventManager->Put( new Event( L_SELECT ) );
// The event is passed to the objectmyObject->Event( eventManager->Get() );
It has been past many years since I used that app, so these are far memories.
I have no idea if it can be of some utility for you,it's just a feedback from me.
Harry: its ironic, I was thinking about doing something just like this, after a discussion I was having with Vincent on IRC a couple days ago.
I was actually thinking of how I could make my quick/dirty template system better, and more robust/OO ( its really just a quick hack right now )
what I was thinking of doing, will work something like this:
// class that handles any event
class MyEvent extends EventHandler {
// override the default function, which is called by the PageClass
function raise( $param_array ) )
return( $display ); // what will be displayed on the page
$page = new PageClass( $template_file );
$page->AddHandler( $event, new MyEvent() );
// $event is something which is actually defined in the template
$page->show(); // edit: a method to display would be helpfull too :P (havent been awake long)
ofcourse, I'm open to any suggestions
OK - got to rush - just splatting these (untested) classes down. Will explain more (handlers still required);
//: EventRegister.class.php
class EventRegister {
* @param $events array
* Holds registered events
var $events;
function EventRegister() {
$this->events= array();
* Registers an event
* @param $eventName string. For example the <i>name</i> of
* a $_GET variable
* e.g. index.php?action=foo. $eventHandler="action";
* @param $eventHandler string. the name of the handler for that event
function register ($eventName,$eventHandler) {
* Returns the parameters for an event
* @param $eventName string.
* @return - either array or false
* if event does not exist.
function getByName ($eventName) {
if ( isset ( $this->events[$eventName] ) ) {
return $this->events[$eventName];
} else {
return false;
* Returns the complete events array
* @return - array of events to their param names.
function getAll () {
return $this->events;
class EventSingleton {
* @param $instance object
* Holds and instance of the EventRegister class
static $instance;
* Creates a new EventRegister object if none found
* @return object
function EventSingleton () {
if(!isset($this->instance)) {
$this->instance =& new EventRegister();
* Returns the EventRegister object
* @return object
function getReg() {
return $this->instance;
//: EventListener.class.php
class EventListener {
var $eventRegister;
var $get;
function EventListener() {
$eventReg=& new EventSingleton;
* Searches the $_GET global looking for registered events
* and stores in a local variable for triggering
* @return - no return value
function findCurrentEvents () {
$events= $this->eventRegister->getAll();
foreach ( $events as $eventName to $eventHandler ) {
if ( isset ( $_GET[$eventName] ) ) {
* Triggers handler classes from current events
* @return - no return value
function trigger () {
foreach ( $get as $eventName to $eventHandler ) {
$eventHandler=& new $eventHandler;
Handlers would be "wrapper" classes for existing classes to make them behave.
Another class for Pagoda?
I really like this idea of an Application with a persistant state that responds to events.... NICE!
A also like your idea of Handlers being 'wrappers'. This could come in real handy to adapt current scripts into a sort of 'middleware' for an application.
When i get some time i'd really like to explore this concept further...
OK - first changing the trigger method in the listener class above;
function trigger () {
if (isset($this->get)) {
foreach ( $this->get as $eventName => $eventHandler ) {
$$eventHandler=& new $eventHandler;
} else {
// Do default handler if no events
$defaultHandler=& new DefaultHandler;
Note the variable variable now (like I said - haven't been tested yet.
Here's my guess at how this might work;
Two handlers;
// Kinda dodgy but how without instantiating FormHandler - better ideas?
$eventReg=& new EventSingleton;
class FormHandler {
var $response;
function FormHandler {
switch ($_GET['formResponse']) {
case 'sendEmail':
function sendEmail () {
// this could be invoking another class instead...
mail ( $_POST['to'],$_POST['from'],$_POST['subject'];
$this->response='Email sent';
function respond () {
echo ( $this->response );
Then the default hander;
// DefaultHandler.class.php
class DefaultHandler {
// Do default stuff here
function respond() {
// make whatever response
Now a script that ties it all together;
// email.php
$listener=& new EventListener;
That's the general idea at least...
Comments (including "You're soooo wrong" ) appreciated.
Still taking in pippo and AcidReigns comments. Certainly there could be some more efficient approach using inheritance and polymorphism. Wanted to avoid having to change existing classes though to provide "AddEvent" methods - perhaps that's where polymorphism can come in...
Hey, no offense to your idea, but isn't this a lot easier?
switch ($_GET['formResponse']) {
case 'sendEmail':
mail ( $_POST['to'],$_POST['from'],$_POST['subject'];
print 'Email sent';
In my opinion, there are a few flaws floating around in an otherwise good topic.1) PHP is a scripting language with minimal support for OO. And, being an interpreted, run-time language, the good old "less-is-more" mentality has to prevail.
2) It seems that truly useful event registers would have to be implemented by the application server (PHP engine, for instance) rather than wedged in by way of some overbearing PHP classes.
3) I'm a firm believer in "the right tools for the job", and with that said, there are plenty of scripted application servers for HTTP. Dumping HTML to a browser seems - at present - a trivial task, best handled in a simpler-is-better manner.
If you're going to rethink the way things work (which is something I'm all for) you have to rethink the whole process. It doesn't make sense to reinvent one facet of app servers, only to shoe-horn it into existing methodologies.
So in other words, why not a new architecture that implements HTML-inspired events straight out of the app server?
Well I agree with you on one level, although the example you give of a switch statement lacks some ingredients event handling could deliver such as the ability to have multiple events and not to be tied to expection particular named $_GET variables, for example.
What if you have two important $_GET variables plus a cookie variable you want to response to? You're talking multiple switch statements or if/elses.
I'm not saying I've got a perfect solution (probably far from it) but the idea is by wrapping up your code in a series of handlers, it could become extremely easily to reuse existing classes and handlers.
All in all, it's a result of frustration from having built applications which ended up in giant and unwieldy conditional statements in index.php
It seems that truly useful event registers would have to be implemented by the application server (PHP engine, for instance) rather than wedged in by way of some overbearing PHP classes.
Think you're right perhaps I don't think the PHP group really responds to demand but rather what they've got time for. Some would also argue that the PHP engine should be kept free of such things.
Interesting point though, while you're suggesting application servers - http://sdk.ez.no/sdk/ezutils - the Module Handler for example and the HTTP Object Persistance classes...
Been fooling with ezPublish alot recently, at work and at play - the current version handles events in a fairly crude way (looks for a particular filename then uses switch statements within that file) but is already excellent. You could already describe it as an application server in some senses. Version 3.0 is on the horizon and methinks it's gonna rock!
But back to the point - if Javascript can have eventHandling, why shouldn't PHP? And more to the point, as it's being done in ASP.NET...
1) PHP is a scripting language with minimal support for OO. And, being an interpreted, run-time language, the good old "less-is-more" mentality has to prevail.
Alright here we go again... What is missing in PHP's OO support according to you??
Multiple InheritanceIs considered a bad practice in OO. A form of multiple inheritance, interfaces, can be done in PHP. It just requires your (the programmer's) discipline
Private / Public PropertiesNo property should be public anyway, it goes against encapsulation. The whole concept of private / public properties was only introduced to make it easier for programmers. Again, with discipline, this is not a problem.
Multiple constructors / function overloadingFunctions in PHP accept a variable number of parameters, so this can be done.
Static class variablesCan be done by using a function with a static variable or by using globals which are hidden from the rest of the code (with your discipline of course).
Dereferencing ($obj->getObject->function())Just use an extra variable, this is just something to make life a little easier, nothing more.
DestructorsThose are IMHO merely for when you're lazy. With a little discipline, you can just call a destructor function instead of it being done automatically.
My point is, with a little discipline, you can do almost exactly (correct me if I'm wrong) what you would do in a language like Java or C++ using objects.
It all depends on how you treat your code. Of course, you can go and break your own rules like encapsulation by accessing private properties directly, but then this is your problem, not the language's problem. I believe voostind (can I get some support from you on this? :rolleyes:) once posted that even in languages like C++ it is possible to access an object's private properties.
But we're going way off topic, so if you want to continue the PHP OO discussion feel free to start a discussion in a new thread or something.
alright, I've come up with another quick & dirty, shall we say, proof of concept
since my code says more than I can:the classesthe example
now, what the example does not show, is that you do not need a template file ... you can call a [untested] show( $object ) method, that takes an object that is derived from DisplyHandler, show() then calls the display( $object ) method of the DisplayHandler, which is given the current Display instance [ $object->display( $this ); ]the Display handler can handle output in anyway it wants to ... it has access to all the values [setvalue/getvalue] and it can call the callevents() method as it wishes.
comments? suggestions? flames?
That looks excellent! Still taking it in but can see how you could use objects instead of templates. Really like the mechanism for adding events. Don't see right now how you respond to "user actions" though, such as index.php?view=page2.
Will have a play and see what happens...
Originally posted by Captain Proton - Multiple constructors / function overloadingFunctions in PHP accept a variable number of parameters, so this can be done.
Can be faked if you really need:
1) Count number of arguments, and associate them with different functions:
class test
function test()
// get number of args, place, and then build an argument list
switch( $argTotal )
case 1:
$this->_test1( $argString );
case 2:
$this->_test2( $argString );
This probably isn't all that good of a solution, but if you must have it, you can I suppose
I'm thinking that this is definatley a good idea for an external extension.Especially if persistance and object serialization is added.
I also have been thinking that it would be cool if you could register events with a XML-RPC or some other remote call as the handler.
AcidReign i like that code, but i think it would be better to abstract the event registering/executing stuff totally seperate from the display (although i can see how that could be a particular event) and then implement the presentation layer as events (although i already said that is kinda what you are doing)
Anyway i think that if persistance is the name of the game then it would be good to do a C extension.
OK - finished of the "first version" based on what I started with (attached as Zip with a mini demo site included).
Here's how it can be used now;
// Include the EventRegister and Listener
// Include the custom handlers
$eventReg=& new EventRegister;
// Regiser handlers
// Notice - FormHandler registered twice for;
// index?formResponse=whatever and
// index?action=whatever
// Fire up the listener, passing it the register and setting
// the default handler to nav handler
$listener=& new EventListener($eventReg,'NavHandler');
At the moment it's specifically geared to the $_REQUEST global - XML-RPC etc. would require some alteration...
Also it doesn't handle multiple events well. With the demo in the ZIP, if you use "index.php?view=links&action=addComment" for example, it will look a little wierd.
Think the answer to that is rather than handlers echoing output directly, they put messages on an "event output queue" which the listener then deals with as the final step. Course when I start thinking about that, reckon this now is going too far.
The other direction to go might be using output buffering and customer error handlers - use trigger_error to activate events. Might also be interesting to use get_declared_classes() in some way - perhaps to find all the declared handlers.
Anyway - I need a break. This has all been too eventful
Can someone please explain the purpose of events in PHP with a few senteces, what problem they have to solve? I can understand their place in the GUI side of application (in JavaScript) but not in server side. Isn't the execution of the script only event needed (and only event that happens on server)?
Isn't the execution of the script only event needed (and only event that happens on server)?
Well yes but what the script actually does may vary from execution to execution, depending of things like form POSTs and links with GET variables. Perhaps this should be described more like "incoming event handling".
Here's one example;
http://www.site.com/index.php - the home pagehttp://www.site.com/index.php?view=news - site newshttp://www.site.com/index.php?action=login - the action of a "login form"http://www.site.com/index.php?update=userdetails - update your user details
And what about this;
http://www.site.com/index.php?view=news&action=login - login AND display the news
To deal with this in the index.php, you're talking some big switch statements like;
// index.php
// using includes for demonstration purpose...
switch ( $_GET['action'] ) {
case "login":
include ('login.php');
case "logout":
include ('logout.php');
// etc.
switch ( $_GET['update'] ) {
case "userdetails":
include ('userdetails.php');
// etc.
switch ( $_GET['view'] ) {
case "news":
include ('news.php');
case "guestbook":
include ('guestbook.php');
// etc.
include ('home.php');
That's only to handle a few "incoming" events. What happens in an application where there's a lot of room for user interaction? There's other ways to write the above code, using arrays for example, which will be more compact to read but amounts pretty much to the same thing - the whole app depends on this single script being correct, even when it becomes highly complex.
The other approach to the problem is to specify particular variable names for example;
That's fine in a way, but then all your code needs to conform to this standard - often a problem in intergrating old code an different applications. Also you're generally tied to a single script (index.php) being the "traffic cop" for your application.
I also think that it is the order of events that can make this system eventful . You could have your application respond to the an unlimited number of events in any order.
Usually if you follow the 'old' system that Harry pointed out then the order of execution of a script is hard-coded (at least to some extent). This 'new' way you could get different responses by differing the order of event execution.

While floral appliques and embellishments are not new to market, the three dimensional designs we saw this season were. From oversized blooms to small and scattered petals, designers must have been thinking of the nursery rhyme "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" and asked themselves, 'how does your garden grow?'
Here's a look at some of the floral-inspired designs for Spring 2012:

| Brandon's Regirock
ジンダイのレジロック Jindai's Rejirokku
|Pyramid King Brandon
|Clear Body (not yet activated)
|Battling the Enemy Within!
This Regirock is a rock-type Pokémon owned by Pyramid King Brandon.
Regirock first appeared in Battling The Enemy Within!, where it defeated Ash's Sceptile, despite its type disadvantage and when Ash was possessed by the King of Pokélantis. Regirock was also used to battle Reggie's Drapion and won. It is Brandon's most used Pokémon and is also the first Regi added to his team. Regirock is arguably the strongest of Brandon's Pokémon because it has had more victories on screen than any of Brandon's other Pokémon.
Brandon later used Regirock again in A Pyramiding Rage where it battled Paul's Pokémon in a 6 on 6 battle. Regirock defeated Paul's Hariyama, Electabuzz, Ursaring and Magmar while Regice and Registeel dealt with Lairon and Nidoking.
Regirock was used once more in Pillars of Friendship to stop an enraged Regigigas from going into a rampage. After Regirock and the other Regis saved Regigigas from J, Brandon decided to stay with Regirock, Regice and Registeel at Snowpoint Temple to protect Regigigas from any future attacks.

We need to do more than shake our heads in dismay at the scandal in Coatesville over the exchange of racist texts between the former school superintendent and the city's high school athletic director.
The scandal in Coatesville over the exchange of racist texts between the former school superintendent and the city's high school athletic director is generating headlines — and disgust — across the nation.
The raw racism displayed in those texts — including repeated use of the N-word to describe black students, along with other ethnic slurs, reportedly also against Jews — is enough to turn any stomach. Coatesville and Chester County officials are pursuing the issue, even launching an investigation into the texts on school phones between Richard Como, the superintendent, and Jim Donato, the athletic director, who submitted their resignations when they learned of the school board's intent to fire them.
But we need to do more than shake our heads in dismay.
What's happening in Coatesville might be an extreme example but it's also a reflection of a major blight in our society. That such high level officials who should be role models could employ such disgraceful language in such a cavalier and even ebullient manner illustrates the pervasiveness of this problem in our society.
It is found among our kids' seemingly innocent bantering on social media, at school athletic events and in the private conversations — and public rants — of adults who certainly should know better. Over the summer, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper garnered headlines with his racist rant caught on camera at a concert.
Most people who use denigrating slurs against blacks, gays, Jews and women likely would deny they are racist or prejudiced. Most probably harbor no ill-intent, yet the use of such language has become so commonplace that it is too frequently laughed off rather than condemned.
As Jews, we know that language and stereotypes can lead to dangerous places. "If you don't challenge language and behaviors that are inappropriate, that allows for further misbehavior that can escalate to a higher level of severity, like discrimination and physical harm," said Barry Morrison, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, which provides programming on tolerance for students and sensitivity training to professionals.
As a society, we need to reinforce at home that such language is not acceptable. We need to support educational programs in our schools that promote tolerance. We need to push Pennsylvania to follow the example of New Jersey, which has implemented strict new guidelines that ban school athletes from taunting opposing teams with derogatory racial, ethnic, religious or sexual slurs.
It's easy to say we discourage such behavior but do we do enough? Our actions must make clear that it is so unacceptable that headlines like those emanating from Coatesville will disappear.

what script ?(pastebin.ca it )
why can't you just put the script on the desktop ?
I am nearly done on my n00bies bt3 usb preconfigred key.
My issue is i have 4 scripts which run fine if i drag and drop in a terminal window, however if i run them as shortcuts the windows close and also you cannot copy items in there..
So how do i have shortcuts from a desktop to run bash scripts OR can anyone help me make a startup menu with the x 4 options and have this running on startup with the addition of the instructions.txt file launching to help the n00boys and n00bgirls?
I have tried using xterm etc but finding that linux help is hard to find!
Thanks in advance
P.S Anyone managed to find a free alternative that images a whole usb key?
what script ?(pastebin.ca it )
why can't you just put the script on the desktop ?
if it's shell script, just right click on it / advanced properties / check run in terminal.........
to run them at startup, name them with a .sh at the end ..... and give exec right to the file and finally put them in the autostart folder of kde .........
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
Guys, thanks for replying.
If i run it as a shortcut with the terminal option then you can't copy and paste te bssid from airodump and into spoonwep .. i know its not the end of the world to drag and drop scripts into a command window, but i want to make this for the people who just want to plug and play
shamanvirtuel - cheers buddy i will try the autostart thing!
Do you know abot creating a menu in kde?

Sexy, Messy Hair at Joy Cioci: MB Fashion Week Fall 2012
We caught up with celeb hairstylist Tommy Buckett backstage at Joy Cioci F/W 2012 to talk trendy disheveled hair, favorite styling products, and why short hair is fabulous.
-Heather Taylor
Joy Cioci's fall 2012 presentation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion paid tribute to the modern woman of today. She's a confident and complex lady. Loves of bright blue, chiffon dresses, and snakeskin prints—all included in the collection.
The looks were anchored by the hairstyles on the models. Organic and textured braids created by stylist Tommy Buckett from the Marie Robinson Salon. Celebs like Sienna Miller and Rachel McAdams often frequent the salon for care of their locks.. We were able to squeeze in a quick chat with Tommy whilst he worked on some of the hair of the models backstage before the show.
Read Sexy Yet Stuctured, Lady-Like Dresses at Lela Rose: MB Fashion Week 2012
BettyConfidential: Tell us about the inspiration behind working with Joy Cioci to create the look.
Tommy Buckett: The Joy Cioci girl is very confident with herself. She doesn't need a lot of fuss with her hair. We're encouraging that easy, kind of organic feel when it comes to styling. We don't use clips or pins or anything like that. This kind of girl just kind of twists her hair up and goes with it and because she's wearing a great outfit, that's all you need for the look. It's definitely easy to take from day to night. When you have your hair down, tie it up or underpin it so it's still messy and keeps its texture.
Tommy working on a model backstage before the show
BC: For this look, you're doing braids Any tips to make it easier?
TB: When you braid hair, you want to go fast! It can't be perfect and it's not supposed to be contrived. Encourage a little more texture in the braid when you can and don't be afraid to keep it on the messy side.
BC: I'm seeing a lot of disheveled looks backstage so far- is it the new trend in hair?
TB: Definitely! It's all about keeping the hair very organic and with plenty of texture. Realistically, all girls want to look a little disheveled and sexy- it's the perfect look for all girls no matter what their hair texture is.
BC: What's the best kind of hair product can I use to get that effortless look?
TB: I use ocean mist hair styler ($28, sephora.com) which gives the hair a beachy kind of texture with a little grip on it. I also put in just a little bit of oil that helps to keep the hair shiny and healthy.
BC: Any other favorite hair care products?
TB: The drugstore hairsprays, especially TRESemmé. I also love dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is not as old fashioned as it used to be, it's much more translucent now.
BC: Apart from messy chic hair, what do you wish more women would dare to do with their hair?
TB: I wish women would cut their hair short again. It always looks fresh and then you actually get to see women's faces. They're not made to feel pretty just because they have tons of hair. Long hair is very feminine, but it's all in the attitude that you're exuding which is what makes hair truly stand out.

Daily Comments
Towards Turkish-Islamic Union
Kıbrıs Ada TV, July 2008
Adnan Oktar: For example, the attitude of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia toward Turkey has been very clear of late. Israel says, you used to administer the region with 10 soldiers and a sergeant, yet we cannot govern it with all our troops. They long for the Ottoman times. Syria openly wants to unite with Turkey. In other words, if an official proposal were made today, they would decide to take it up within a week; that is the position Syria is in. Iraq is drowning in a sea of blood, as you know. I mean, Turkey has to act like an older brother. Then Iraq will become an oasis of peace and the matter will be totally resolved. They can all see this. Delegations that come from Palestine all propose it and all request it. IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT FOR TURKEY TO BE THE OLDER BROTHER IN THE REGION.
Ekin TV, January 29th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: Turkey has the experience of the Ottoman Empire and the experience of state. This is something everyone agrees on. We have highly trained management teams. We have very capable politicians and leaders. Turkey is easily strong enough to manage this. Egypt wants it, too. Israel said as much the other day. They say, you ran the region with 10 soldiers and a sergeant, and there were never any problems, yet we cannot manage that with our whole army. We cannot establish order there, and we are making troubles for ourselves. We are suffering ourselves, and we are making those around uneasy. They said that kind of thing. SO THEY NEED THE CHILDREN OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, THESE HEROIC MEMBERS OF THE TURKISH NATIONS.
Azerbaijan State News Agency, August 14th, 2008
Adnan Oktar: The truth is that Turkey is the greatest state in the world. I am not exaggerating, the greatest state. This is how it will happen; Turkey will enter the European Union as the leader of the Turkish-Islamic Union, the great Turkish-Islamic Union. Then it will both nourish and strengthen Europe. Russia's back will then be straightened, Armenia and Israel will be at ease, and the Palestinian problem will be resolved. In other words, TURKEY IS A STATE THAT WILL SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD. TURKEY IS LIKE AN INSURANCE POLICY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. It is a vital state. THE WORLD WILL BEGIN TO SEE THIS IN 10 TO20 YEARS, AND TURKEY WILL MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD AS BROTHERS. This is the law of Allah, destiny, insha'Allah..
Yeni Asya , 16 March 2012
Muhammed Nazik al Kafarna, mayor of Beit Hanoun in Gaza, said; "We really thank Turkey very much. We thank all the people and ministries of Turkey. They have not abandoned us. But we need so much more. We are the children of Sultan Abdulhamid. In other words, we are also your brothers in religion. You cannot abandon us. We have great hopes. You must stand behind us, because Sultan Abdulhamid did not abandon us. Neither can you abandon us, we know."

Hello there,
I want to create a content management system as my final year university project and I'm currently considering doing it in Ruby. Can anybody advise me as to what would be the benefits of using Ruby instead of PHP (which seems like the current industry standard to me). The only thing I don't like about Ruby is the documentation and availability of literature on the subject. If I want to create a CMS using PHP and MySQL there are dozens of books to choose from, but how about Ruby? Where can I find decent information on how to create a CMS using Ruby?
There is tons of documentation, all the links to it are here:http://www.ruby-doc.org/
For rails, just go to the rails website and there is a complete API documentation. But it doesn't sound like you'll be using rails, which would probably be better for a uni project.
Ruby is much better as a language. It supports many "advanced" things like call/cc, metaprogramming, lexical closures. But PHP, on the other hand, is focused on web development, and is available on many webhosts.
There are no "create your own CMS" tutorials for Ruby (while there are lots of these for PHP).
Maybe this for inspiration:
It's written in Ruby (without Rails).
But if you want to use Rails, things are much easier. You can find a lot of information on Rails' website (www.rubyonrails.com).
An open source CMS done in Rails:
Online Rails api documentation:
Online Ruby books:
Ruby documentation:
Core: http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/Stdlib: http://stdlib.rubyonrails.org/
(but you can access these using the ri command)
And, of course:
Ruby is much better as a language
Can opened. Worms everywhere...;)
(though I agree)
Well, yeah, that's pretty much what you would expect in a forum named "Ruby", right? :rofl:
But I also think that Ruby on Rails has some key advantages over PHP and especially the Java framework. I especially like the idea of mapping tables and entire databases to classes/objects. This should make things a hell of a lot easier (if it really works!). I have spent the last couple of months learning Java, JSP, and JSEE (a module at university) and I can safely say that Java SUCKS when it comes to web development. So I am looking for alternatives.
Has anybody heard of any more content management systems that were developed in Ruby on Rails? I've only seen one so far it hasn't convinced me. How come there aren't more? RoR seems to be the kind of design framework that web developers have always dreamt of, so how come there are so little CMSs out there? Any particular reasons?:shifty:
I have a mostly-built Rails CMS that I worked on for about 2 weeks. I got most of the features I wanted from it but I haven't had any time to clean it up or do anything near a proper release for it.
I say do the system in Rails. It will be lots of fun and you'd be surprised at how fast you'll have a working prototype.
Hey, that's great news for me! I assume you have developed a CMS in another language before? 2 weeks is pretty fast... I have never made any CMS before, so this would be my first time. Can you recommend any book or resources that you used while developing your app? Thanks a bunch.
I can't recommend "Agile Web Development with Rails" enough. If you go to http://pragprog.com/ they're starting work on the second edition of the book, which is available electronically.
Other than that, the Rails API (http://api.rubyonrails.com/) will be your best friend.
I will warn you though: I've been playing with rails on and off for almost a year now, and I built most of the CMS about 2 months ago. Things might not go as quickly for you, but it should still be nice to develop in
Wow, that's a coincidence, I ordered that exact same book this morning at Amazon. Thanks for the links!
While better may be a subjective term, it's certainly an objective fact that (as Fenrir remarked) Ruby provides abstractions that make it a more powerful language than PHP. Programming languages are not created equal, and Ruby is way further up the curve towards Lisp than PHP. This is as it should be, since we're comparing apples and oranges.
(BTW, for anyone who has been forced to endure a Java indocrination at university, Paul Graham's essays on the [expressive power of various programming languages and [url=http://www.paulgraham.com/gh.html]great hackers](http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html) should prove most liberating and entertaining reading.)
I haven't really been keeping tabs, but I'm pretty sure there have been multiple open-source Rails CMS projects started over the past year or so. Check out these links for pointers:
Well, I suspect one reason may be that at the moment, Rails-related work is in very high demand and is lucrative enough that while many people (including me) are certainly creating proprietary CMS systems with Rails, there isn't necessarily enough interest and free time to work on open-source projects for the "greater good".
Personally, I've often entertained the notion of creating an improved Drupal clone in Rails, but as the 48-hour day hasn't been invented yet, there just hasn't been time
Also, check out Radiant - it's the new cms that has been developed to run the next iteration of the RoR website.
(there is a blog post by Matt McCray that has a really good overview of the main points here http://www.mattmccray.com/archives/2006/05/05/radiants-radiance/)
Ok, thanks for the links and everything. But has any of you ever come across a Ruby cookbook or something that provides some code examples on how to create a CMS in Ruby...?
You have to realize that "CMS" is a very broad term, and that the approach you take is going to be almost completely dependent on the type of content you're managing. Care to explain your goals a little?
I've taken a look at the radiant project, and it seems quite promising, but it's complex enough that it's hard to wrap your head around without documentation. One to keep an eye on, though.
I don't know how much you already know about Rails, but I think it will be obvious how to make a CMS once you've done 1 little (exercise) application. You just create a page model, possible acts_as_tree, and you assign text and child-pages to parent-pages. Then you create a ui (forms to create new pages, display page) and a user management system and there you have a simple CMS.
Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a question about developing a CMS with Rails and the concept of "pages". From what I've been thinking, I'd have a Page model and a Page controller that would end up producing something like:
But what if I want
Instead? Could I muck around with routes.rb to produce that? Other ideas?
Yes, you can change that. I think this will do the trick in routes.rb:
map.connect ':page', :controller => 'blog', :action => 'show'
Yeah, routes.rb is your best bet. Here's a sample from the CMS I built:
#maps pages and sections
map.page ':section/:page_url',
:controller => 'page',
:action => 'show_page'
#if it's the section only in the URL,
#forward to the index page for that section
map.section ':section',
:controller => 'page',
:action => 'show_page',
:page_url => 'index'
CMS is a vague term. The time to code one entirely depends on the feature set you require. I could code a CMS in 20 minutes (about) with rails. Create a Category model and have it act_as_tree, create a Page scaffold. Tweak it a bit. Add a catch all route using *url and map it to a show controller. Add a find_by_url method (or whatever the corrent OO name for this kind of function is) to my Page model. Code my show controller which simply takes the URL param from the route, passes it to find_by_url and displays the page. If there is no page, display an error page.
Of course, I don't think this kind of CMS would be of any use with such little features.
I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, but you might be interested in the catch all routes.
I believe (off the top of my head, so I wouldn't trust me) that it's
map.catch_all '*url', :controller => 'foo', :action => 'bar'
and then you can use params[:url] in your bar action in the foo controller., so if you pass domain.com/one/two/what/stuff, your params[:url] will be one/two/what/stuff and you can do whatever with it. You can also have 'whatever/*url'.
Of course, I might be off by a bit (or a lot), but two places to check more about this are the routes unit tests and radiant's source code.

(Medina County) - A Brunswick man is in jail, charged with possession of child pornography.
Brunswick Police spokesman Nick Solar reports, a search warrant was granted for the home of Brandon Thomas Graham Price, and they confiscated computers and electronic storage devices after receiving a tip from the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Price is being held on $100,000 bond at the Medina County Jail, and his case is being turned over to a grand jury.
The 26 year old Price lived with his mother, who runs a day care center in the same home on George Drive.
Eight children were in the day care at the time of the raid, and Solar says parents were called to pick up their children.
Solar tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, there is no evidence the children attending the day care were involved with Price in any way.
However, the day care was not licensed, and has been told to cease operations.

ASHEVILLE, NC -- Seventh graders at Evergreen Community Charter School here are honing their algebra skills outside the classroom by calculating which products meet the school's new "healthy" vending standards and deliver the most profit.
As one of two North Carolina schools to earn the state's Green Ribbon Schools designation, the school has committed to new guidelines to sell healthier, more environmentally friendly foods and beverages. One major change will be eliminating the sale of sodas, which will be replaced by water and sparkling fruit juice drinks.
The seventh grade math class has been crunching numbers to calculate which snacks and drinks meet the Green Ribbon nutrition and sustainability standards, according to the Asheville-Citizen Times.
In the coming weeks, the group will analyze the fastest and slowest sellers and pinpoint the items that earn profits and those that don't, according to the paper.
Profits from the donated "healthy" vending machines will help fund the seventh grade's spring canoe trip.

Former Cleveland "man of the cloth" to be incarcerated
(Cleveland) - A former minister is going to prison for two years. Andre Matthews was sentenced today after being convicted of stealing $170,000 from St. Helena Catholic Church.
Investigators say the ex-reverend stole funds from bingo games held at the church. The 54 year old Matthews is also suspected to stealing $100,000 from a church member.
Prosecutors contend Matthews used some to the money to buy cars, pay bills, and to pay for a relative's college tuition.
Matthews asked the court for leniency and explained that he has kidney disease. He also apologized to parishioners and admitted what he did was wrong.

5 Qualities Employers Demand In Nurse Practitioners They Hire
July 15, 2014
What prospective employers are looking for in the nurse practitioners they hire.
According to the
Mayo Clinic
, the title of
nurse practitioner
(NP) has only been around for a little more than 40 years. The need for these medical professionals didn't occur until there was a shortage of doctors in the mid-1960s. Because of the shortage, these skillful individuals were able to step up and practice the same as physicians. The job description hasn't changed much over the years. In fact, they still diagnose and treat patients. Many of them work in physicians' offices and hospitals. Some even teach. But despite a static role in the healthcare field, nurse practitioners are not just individuals who were pulled to work as physicians. In fact, nowadays nurse practitioners need certain traits in order to stand out for prospective
1. Excellent endurance
Bureau of Labor Statistics
states that the median salary for nurse practitioners is $96,460 per year. Obviously, the advanced education required plays a role in the high salary that you make, but the job description itself also constitutes for the salary. You must be able to stay on your feet for long periods of time since you'll be seeing patients throughout the duration of your shift. If you don't appear to have enthusiasm and the strength needed, a prospective employer may just pass you by.
In addition to physical endurance, the NP must also display
good mental endurance
to thrive in a fast paced environment. A nurse practitioner should be one who can "think on their feet" and make good decisions. The NP must be ready to prepare for any unexpected emergency and react accordingly. For example, if a patient has a sudden bout of respiratory distress, the nurse practitioner must be able to assess the cause of the shortness of breath, the appropriate steps to take, and who should be contacted.
2. Outstanding communicator
Given that 89 to 90 million adults in the United States have limited health literacy, you may probably see patients every day who have trouble reading and understanding health information—especially if English is their secondary language. Effectively communicating with your patients increases their satisfaction with your medical facility, keeps them aware of best wellness practices, and makes your claims process more efficient. Take the time to develop and provide educational resources and you'll have better informed, more engaged patients.
3. Patient
When it comes to dealing with patients, it takes a lot of patience. Sometimes a patient may not understand what you're trying to convey to them. Sometimes a patient may be frustrated and want to leave the appointment as soon as possible. In some instances, the patient might have a long list of questions and concerns for you to address. It doesn't help that every patient has different personality traits, which has the potential to add even more stress to the situation. When a potential employer suspects that you might be a little impatient, he or she automatically assumes that you're not going to be patient in your role as a healthcare provider.
4. Caring
To be successful at being a nurse practitioner, you must have a caring nature. If you don't truly care about what you're doing and the people you are taking care of, then it's very difficult to put your heart into what you do. The
National Institutes of Health
states that a nurse practitioner is responsible for taking a patient's medical history, conducting physical examinations, diagnosing, treating, educating, and performing certain medical procedures. Patients want someone who is empathetic and sympathetic to their health concerns, problems, and needs. Understanding and relating to a patient can be the difference between a positive and a negative experience. Because of the extensive list of duties that involve one-on-one patient attention, an employer wants a nurse practitioner that truly cares.
5. Encouraging
With some conditions and treatments with certain patients, you'll find that you need to be encouraging to help them succeed, especially when it comes to lifestyle changes. Sometimes, the most important role you play as a nurse practitioner is of a cheerleader to your patients.

Mines unveils energy supercomputer 'Ra'
GOLDEN, Colo., May 6, 2008 – Colorado School of Mines will celebrate the acquisition of its new high performance computing cluster during a ribbon cutting ceremony at 2 p.m. May 9 in the Center for Technology and Learning Media building, 1650 Arapahoe St.
GECO has four main priority areas: pursuing renewable resources, locating and developing existing resources, advancing environmental stewardship, and designing new energy related materials.
Ra's estimated peak performance is 23 teraflops—fast enough to do more than 3,000 calculations per second for each of the 6.6 billion people on the planet. This places the machine well within the top 100 fastest computers in the world.
The first outreach program was established with Salish Kootenai College, a four-year institution on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana. The college offers a B.S. degrees in information technology and computer engineering, and GECO will provide students with hands-on training and supercomputer user accounts.
Ra is linked to the Front Range GigaPop - a consortium of 16 government, educational and research institutions. By fostering closer links among these institutions, GECO will enhance the regional synergy among agencies concerned with computational research, while providing a powerful new resource in support of Mines' mission in energy science.

Will the 'Duck Dynasty' cast continue the show without Phil?
The cast of "Duck Dynasty" has released its first statement on Phil Robertson's suspension from the A&E series.
The duck hunter's family say they are "disappointed" by the decision, and argue that while his anti-gay comments were "coarse," they are rooted in the Bible and the group stands by them.
The family also says they may not continue the show if Robertson cannot participate.
The statement reads in full:
"We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil's unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbor as yourself." Phil would never incite or encourage hate. We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family."
As Gossip Cop has reported, conservatives and other supporters have called for Robertson's role to be reinstated, while PETA is arguing the show should be canceled

Eating Disorder Counselor
Ellen S Leventhal, MEd., MS, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Norfolk MA & E Counseling In MA and Virginia , Norfolk, MA, & all of Virginia Online Counseling, Massachusetts
Today, eating disorders are spread throughout classes, races, ethnicity, and subcultures. Eating disorders are determined by multiple factors: individual personality traits, physiological predispositions, family patterns, critical experiences such as loss or abuse, the sociocultural influences of gender roles, and the meanings ascribed to food, weight, and appearance as well as the addictive quality of modern day foods. Family & individual therapy can help the whole family system, relieving the blame, self-degradation, & confusion for the individual and gives the family clear guidelines of how to help. The goal is to use food as nourishment & develop satisfying connections with loved ones
Eating Disorder Counselor
Abigail Blackburn, Psy.D.
Licensed Psychologist
needham, Massachusetts
Whether severely restricting calories, overeating or caught in the binge/purge cycle, if some deep hurt or experience of abuse or trauma is causing you to use food to cope with hard emotions and low self esteem, my treatment approach is helpful. By examining what has happened, reconstructing beliefs and thoughts about it, strengthening your ability to assertively speak up during inner and interpersonal conflicts, and addressing other difficult emotional triggers, my clients learn how to hold strong boundaries, voice needs appropriately, repair self-esteem, and restore more control over what happens to them. You CAN transform your relationship to food. Visit my website for more detail.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain. Contact email@example.com or 877-606-6161 to learn more about this safe and effective alternative.

Press Release: 1 October 2012
In the years following World War I a curious attraction made its appearance in fun fairs and amusement parks: the photo-shooting gallery. When the customer hit the bullseye, he or she triggered a camera, winning them a snapshot of themselves in the act of shooting. The metaphorical charge of the activity is obvious—upon looking at their portrait the shooter sees the gun, still trained in their hands a moment after its discharge, aimed at themselves. Shoot! Existential Photography will investigate these numerous analogies between taking photographs and shooting. Showcasing vernacular and vintage images alongside contemporary pieces, the exhibition will trace back the history of this image making process from its days as a popular sideshow to its re-appropriation by various artists.
The exhibition will open with a collection of anonymous shooting-gallery photographs. These images, ranging from the 1920s to the 1970s, explore not only the shooter's pose and expression but also those of the people gathered round to view the spectacle and the changing technology used in the process. In almost every picture #7 publisher Erik Kessels displays a series of over sixty self-portraits by Dutch woman, Ria van Dijk, taken at the funfair over a period of eight decades.
A slide show installation entitled Celebrity Cabinet (1929-1955) will feature shooting portraits by some of the period's most noted artists and intellectuals. These include existentialist French philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, surrealist Man Ray and photographers Robert Frank, Henri Cartier- Bresson and Brassaï among others. Many of these famous figures were believed to be fascinated by the mechanical process used in photo-shooting galleries and the philosophical ideas it alluded to such as a duel with the self and destruction of the ego.
The same concepts and ideas continue to captivate a new generation of artists. In Just Because (2010) Emilie Pitoiset reprints photo-shooting gallery pictures on silver paper which she then cuts up to create the bullet's hypothetical trajectory. The final piece recalls images of shattered mirrors and feelings of tension and imbalance. To artists Rudolf Steiner and Jean-François Lecourt the camera also serves as the target. In both Steiner's series Pictures of me, shooting myself into a picture (1997) and Lecourt's Tirs (1985-2010) the artists use the bullet's calamitous action to pierce the camera's body and generate an image. This process results in self-portraits marked with bullet holes.
Sylvia Ballhause's multi-medium installation comprises of a collection of found shooting portraits of an unknown man (Shooting himself, 2008); a staged photograph of woman in the act of shooting (Shooting myself, 2008); and a photo-shooting gallery sculpture (Shooting Range, 2007). British artist Steven Pippin will showcase two photographs from his on-going series A Non Event alongside a new, specially commissioned sculptural piece of the same series.
Also included in the exhibition are Fire at Will (1972) a short film and an accompanying print by Niki de Saint Phalle; The last shot (1990), a series of photographs by Patrick Zachmann; and Agnès Geoffray's The Female Shooter (2005).
An exhibition highlight will be Christian Marclay's video-sound installation Crossfire (2007). For this piece Marclay edited together Hollywood film samplings depicting moments in which the actors on screen begin to take aim at movie theatre audiences. The montage, showcased on four surrounding screens, will transport the viewer into a visual and acoustic crossfire from all sides. At the end of the exhibition, visitors will have the unique opportunity to take portraits of themselves in a photographic shooting gallery.
Shoot! Existential Photography is curated by Clément Chéroux, Curator, Department of Photography, Centre Pompidou and co-produced by the Rencontres d'Arles and the Museum Für Photographie, Braunschweig.

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
For patients who have to get multiple IVs or frequently get blood drawn, a simple needle stick can become complicated and painful from missed veins or multiple sticks due to hard to find veins. Developers have taken the simple technology used in television remote controls and created a device that makes accessing the vascular network a simple task.
The IRIS Vascular Viewer™ from InfraRed Imaging Systems (Columbus, Ohio), was developed to visualize vascular structures. The IRIS Vascular Viewer is capable of visualizing both superficial veins and more deeply located arteries. The device allows for vascular access improvements in hospital settings relative to time, the number of attempts and cost to insert cannulae (needles) and IVs.
The IRIS Vascular Viewer uses infrared light to illuminated veins and arteries that are displayed thought the viewing scope. It provides the practitioner with a precise and direct image of the blood vessels. The catheter or needle and resulting flashback can be readily viewed as the vessel is punctured. Anatomical abnormalities and complications associated with vascular access, such as infiltration and damaged veins, can also be observed. Components of the device include the light source, the detector and the display. The device is portable and has rechargeable batteries.
The light behind the system is a high-powered infrared LED developed by OSRAM Opto Semiconductors (San Jose, Calif.). "ThinFilm technology has been applied to the world of red and infrared LED resulting in high end improvements of brightness," said Karl Leahy, OSRAM's general marketing manager, infrared and high power laser products, NAFTA region. The ThinFilm Golden DRAGON package offers an 850nm IR light emitter.
Previously, one would need over 100 LEDs to generate the same amount of light as the ThinFilm DRAGON. "Thermal imaging has moved into active imaging, and one of the applications using the DRAGON light source is the IRIS device," said Leahy.

Can't believe enty is calling jay a shitbag/welcher, pure joke
He's trying to troll you into a fight by the looks
And yeah I wanna fight Furness, jay u keep talking about rankings.....no one in the world takes note of your mma rankings, am offering 2 fight you once again and your saying no. So to me that says everything, if your a fighter you should only slag a man off if your willing to fight him.
And yeah I don't think much of your win over lobov couldn't give a fuck about rankings if anyone's doing a boring fight of the year you could be featured
I've stayed civil and haven't personally insulted you or said anything non-factual, you're the one who rocks up being offensive to people. I get it, it's your thing. You're 'enty', you're outspoken and you cause a scene. Good on ya, it's got some people interested, but not me. I work in MMA and I'm a professional. Re-read my above post for some guidelines on getting the fights you want. I'm not short on interesting and relevant fight offers to need to take forum fights though, ta.
Jay I can assure you no one looks at your mma. sherdog and fight matrix are the only thing people are interested in I guarantee Dana White an joe silver don't click on your mma for the rankings that's for fucking sure.
You go on about fight options I guarantee I have had better options than you I would quite happily risk everything tho to kick the fuck out of you and snap your leg your a dickhead and everything I don't like about this sport you and the whole of your mma.
Jay wins by manners.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me." - Hunter S. Thompson
Crikey, do you get Free Wifi in Enty's anus?
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
This escalated quickly! lol
Jay is a well respected member of the UK MMA community and works hard to help the sport with probably no or little pay. I have no affiliation to him or YourMMA but know enough about him and any dealings i've had he's shown to be both honest and reliable, which is what we need.
I'd be interested to hear if Enty would take a fight with Lobov??? as I think Lobov would actually win. Before you say about Lobov's record most of those losses have come due to jumping in at the last minute to help out promotions.
Enty wants a fight before June and Lobov is crazy and would take a fight whenever (unless he has something else booked in).
So.... Enty v Lobov on Cagewarriors around March/April time? Anyone?
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
