Metro Educators
Here at Metro Educators, our ultimate goal is to have students exceed in their academia. A good education is the corner stone for a successful future. We help to build the foundations to this. Our tutors get to know the student as an individual. Whether they find school difficult or are already excelling in their year group, we welcome all students with all abilities. Lessons can be booked on a one-to-one basis or as part of a small group. The groups never exceed more than four students, in order to provide adequate attention to each student.By tailoring our syllabus to individual needs rather than implementing a 'one-size-fits-all' approach, we can ensure that students are getting help in the areas they need. This learning plan is specifically designed to help them gain confidence and promote an eagerness to learn. Classwork and homework diaries are maintained by teachers so that parents can access the pupils' records as they please. Parents are updated fortnightly regarding the progress made. The learning journey starts with an admission test. These tests last approximately half an hour and are used to determine which approach is most suitable for your child. It is a great indicator of strengths and weaknesses and allows us to focus on the areas they need the most help with. Although our main point of focus is weaker areas, we ensure that students have a good understanding of the whole curriculum. Setting up a good foundation allows students to feel more comfortable tackling new concepts, whether this be in school or other areas. We are continually developing our teaching methods and materials in order to give the best tuition service possible. The breakdown of our services is as follows: • Run by a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced teachers with a proven track record of outstanding results. • One-to-one lessons and group tuition available. Groups do not exceed more than four students. • Our syllabus is designed to work alongside the National Curriculum. • The progress of every student is recorded and reported back to parents every fortnight. • Students are encouraged to use their initiative and to actively participate in the lessons. • Regular homework is given and marked at the start of the next lesson. (Unless otherwise requested by parents). • Guidance is provided with GCSE and A-level subject choices. • Guidance provided for UCAS applications and university studies. We provide tuition services ranging from primary to undergraduate level. • Primary: We design a learning process according to the child's individual needs to ensure that they have a solid foundation in maths and English. We achieve this through a combination of independent and supported learning. • 11 Plus: We prepare the students for the 11 Plus exams according to their chosen school requirements (including the independent, state selective and grammar schools). These lessons are targeted for a fast paced but thorough preparation for the 11 Plus assessments. • Secondary & GCSE: It is crucial that students are confident with their Maths, English and Science groundwork when they start their GCSEs. Therefore, the Key Stage 3 programme is designed to ensure that students are working in the right direction to excel in their studies. • Along with regular tuition, we provide GCSE students with booster lessons as exam time approaches. This enables the students to refresh their knowledge for a specific exam in one week. As these lessons are focused for specific units at a time, students get an opportunity to make sure they fully understand the core concepts. This also gives students time to ask any specific questions relating to their exams. • A Level: A Levels are an important milestone in every student's life. They are key to university, and by extension, future careers. A-level students may feel a little less confident with the new approaches and different theories explored in Year 13. The first step is to establish a good understanding of the core concepts. As with GCSE pupils, we also provide regular tuition classes and booster classes for A-level students.

When Ken Levine and Irrational Games unveiled BioShock: Infinite in August, the press got our collective socks blown off by this demo, and now the developer is ready to share it with the world. Hit play to journey into Columbia.
BioShock: Infinite is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PCs. The game is set to ship some time in late 2012.
Sharkey says: This is only the second time I was able to see the demo since the August premier, and I noticed so many more details this time around. In particular, being able to use your telekinetic abilities to grab an enemy's weapon and turn it on him without even taking hold of it. (Not sure how I missed that one at the premier -- my head must have been buried in my notebook as I scribbled notes.) Can't wait for this one.

Flowering plants near ponds may owe their pollination not only to the winged creatures of the air, but also to the finned ones of the deep.
Scientists have discovered that fish indirectly help spread pollen among flowers near the water. Thats because they eat dragonfly larva, which live in freshwater ponds and other water bodies. Adult dragonflies are major predators of bees, butterflies and other insect pollinators. The result is a simple but unexpected cascade: The more fish, the fewer dragonflies, the more bees and butterflies, the more plant pollination, reproduction and seeds.
A paper about the discovery, co-authored by scientists at the University of Florida and Washington University in St. Louis, will appear Thursday in Nature.

Thank You.
Re: Downwinders at Ocean Beach
Ocean beach is usually onshore and downwinders don't work that well but i have done several in the past from Sloat Ave to the Cliff house on a south wind. It was light wind which made negotiating the head high choppy swell tough.
was fun but becareful as Ocean Beach can be dangerous... esp in the winter

No The Internet Doesn't Do Away With Middlemen -- It Just Changes Their Role
from the enablers,-not-gatekeeprs dept
Hold on, though, wasn't that a job description that the Internet was destroying? There was even a 25-cent word for it: disintermediation. The Web, we were told, was eliminating the need for the layers of brokers, agents, wholesalers and even retailers that separate the consumer from the producer.It's time for this argument to go away. We've been arguing for a while that the internet doesn't kill middlemen, it just changes what kind of middlemen you need. It gets rid of gatekeepers, but replaces them with enablers. There's still a tremendous role for middlemen operations that enable buyers and sellers to do more. But there's no role for someone acting as a "gatekeeper" that blocks what buyers and sellers can do. Of course, gatekeepers hate this, because when they were gatekeepers they were the central player (and could charge monopoly rents). But enablers are not central. They're there to help the really important players: the buyers and the sellers. And there just aren't the same monopoly rents. Such is life in modern society. But, let's drop this claim that middlemen are going away, and admit to the reality: it's just the gatekeepers that go away.

Quote:>>And the Catholic Dictionary entry for Lucifer. There is no >>entry for Satan. Nice to see some Xtians admitting the facts about this. Namely, that the word Lucifer ("light bringer") only appears ONCE in the entire KJV Bible (and in most other translations like the NIV, not at all), and only because it was the chosen latin word for "morning star". I'm forever amused with many other Xians who unknowingly base their beliefs on Milton's Paradise Lost or Dante's Inferno, let alone Xtians who bash Catholics while adhering to a Bible that was put together by Catholics. Thanks for the link.
Quote:This one is just a personal interpretation of mine, not supported by any serious study.The Hebrews took many ritual and liturgical elements (an even entire religious texts) from the Ancient Egyptians. I think Amen is a derivation of the name Amon (or Amun) "The Occult". Even when Egypt had several gods, the cult of the solar god Amon was the closest thing to a monotheistic system the Egyptians had. Some scholars agree Hebrew monotheism evolved from Egyptian religion.Being chanted as part of a ritual, the world Amen has a solemn deep vibration (not unlike the Aum or Om of Hinduism) I guess the recitation of the name of Amon as element of rituals could have been adopted (and adapted) by Hebrews into their religion. Later its use was inherited by Christians, long lost its original meaning.But then again, this is just a theory of mine.

Struggling RIM will layoff up to 2,000 employees in an attempt to right itself while it pins its hopes on the Blackberry 10.

Maybe Facebook will buy RIM. They seem to want into the handset business for some reason, and they'll spend a billion dollars on just about anything. Plus they need to convince corporate IT managers that they shouldn't block Facebook because it's like the new email or something.

Let's say you've decided to set up a website or an application. You'll obviously need something to manage the data. Yes, that's right, a database. So, what is it going to be? MySQL, MS-SQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL? After all, nothing can be as amazing as a good old RDBMS that employs SQL to manage the data.
Well, allow me to introduce to you an entirely unique and unconventional Database model - NoSQL.

That depends of you definition of scale.
True. If you are trying to scale up read performance and you do not have a write bottleneck - there is little inherent advantage to the noSQL approach. Generally speaking, either approach can scale out reads rather well, and traditional relational databases have tremendous advantages when it comes to querying flexibility.
Of course if you have that particular problem consider yourself lucky
On the other hand, if you are primarily write bound, can plan your data model so that you do not need the flexibility SQL offers, and can live with the consistency tradeoffs, noSQL approaches have significant advantages.
In my opinion it isn't a matter of SQL vs noSQL, it is a matter of ACID vs BASE (eventual consistency) when the discussion is about scaling...
I would add that, in my opinion, if your problem can be adequately handled by 1 or 2 high powered servers you are probably better off with a traditional RDBMS and all the benefits of ACID compliance that come with it.
NoSQL makes sense when:
1. Your problem is so simple and so small that it doesn't actually matter. Some developers like the key-value approach just to avoid having to deal with a traditional RDBMS complexities. Schema-less datastores are nice and easy for developers who want to model their data in their application layer. If this is you go for it, you will likely learn a lot on the way - and if your problem set grows or evolves you will learn all the bad stuff about noSQL too... I'm not saying I think this is a "good" reason to use noSQL, I just think it is very useful to learn by doing, even if you discover it was a bad idea along the way...
2. Your problem is really big. You have a absolutely huge dataset that requires ALOT of write throughput and you only need to query it in very specific ways. If you _really_ understand your problem well and can live with some of the tradeoffs brought about in eventual consistency models, noSQL can make your life easier (and dramatically reduce your maintenance and hardware costs).
Most real world problems are somewhere in the middle of those two extremes... All I can say is you don't really appreciate the benefits of an ACID compliant RDBMS until you discover you need them, usually at the point you are too far along to do anything about it Tread carefully...

WTP How to: Branching Policy and Practices
This page is to capture issues, best practices and pragmatic information on how to work with branches in WTP Development. This includes how and when developers should branch, and how other committers and members of the community can discover which branches they need load into their workspace so it matches a particular build or development stream.
Issues and Problems with WTP Branching
These are some of the main issues to consider.
- WTP Projects (and components) should have the flexibility to do branching as they decide, using what ever works best for them, their team's workflow, and habits.
- But, we need to make it easy for others to know what to load in their workspace, to match any particular stream or build.
- And, we need to avoid those silly bugs or build breaks where the wrong branch of code is released to the wrong branch of a map file.
There can be complicating factors
- Each team is usually doing something different from other teams; focusing on 2.0.x maintenance versus focusing mostly on 3.0.0 development.
- There are probably some bundles that will not change much in either stream, others may change a relatively large amount in both streams.
There are several ways to accomplish what we need, and the difference between them are how they balance the issues above. (That is, none are perfect).
On one extreme, we could just say we'll branch everything at once so it's clear what to get, and where to do work. The concern is that this will be more work for developers ... error prone work, at that. The extra work to ensure bugs fixed in 2.0.x get rolled up to the HEAD stream. Tools could help, but some have expressed less that stellar success with merge utilities.
On the other extreme each team could do branching on a plugin-by-plugin basis, as they found a need to. This would be easiest for those actively working on the code, but not easy for other committers from other WTP teams, and certainly not the community at large! Plus, this method would be prone to the error of releasing into the wrong map, since easy for mis-matched bundles to end up in the same workspace, in the same map.
So, I propose a compromise between the two extremes, something larger than a plugin, but smaller than everything. A "feature" might be one such branching unit, but there are no tools oriented towards CVS and features. Therefore, I suggest we use the map files as the operational "unit of work" when making or getting branches.
To give a concrete example, if someone was to make a 3.0-only change in the xml.core plugin, then at that point, besides just branching xml.core plugin, all the other bundles listed in wst-xml-core.map must be branched also, namely sse.core, xsd.core, and dtd.core. This would help make sure bundles of a map stayed together as a branch, making mis-released code more unlikely.
And, on the other hand, if not much new work was going on in the xml-ui plugins, they would not have to be branched, so any bugs fixed there would be expected to be released twice, using exact same version number, into both branches of releng maps.

Eating Mom's Creampiesbykandor©
Just a quick note: I've received and greatly appreciated a lot of feedback for these stories, with very few letters being negative and calling for me to stop doing scissor and/or creampie-eating stories. Most of you seem to enjoy this stuff and I really appreciate hearing from you if you do. Don't be shy, write, vote, let ALL writers hear know what you think!
I was banging away at Beth, kneeling on the floor, she on the couch. We'd just started fucking but her silky twat was milking me hard, making it tough not to spurt my load. Added to that, her slender legs gripped my ribs, the muscular thighs making my ribs ache, and my nuts were at the bursting point.
"Try not to cum so soon," she hissed, fucking me hard. "I want to cum too, you know."
"I'll....try...." I grunted.
But it was too late. My balls knotted and shot a gallon of spunk into her well-lubed pussy. She growled and really crushed my sides in her legs, but I couldn't hold back.
"Damn it, I told you to hold off," she barked at me. "Now make me cum!"
Her legs held me tight and I kept trying to fuck her, but my dick shrank inside the well-stretched walls of her cunt. Beth is fond of huge cock, and said her last boyfriend's 12 incher was the best ever, making me feel ashamed of my mere six incher. Her pussy never felt that tight to me as a result, but tight enough to make me cum too quickly nearly every time.
"I'm sorry, honey," I said, backing out, my shrunken dick plopping out of her juiced-up hole. "What can I say?"
"You can say you'll make my mom cum, asshole loser," I heard a voice behind me say.
I turned around. Her beautiful daughter Amy stood there, in grimy athletic clothes. She'd just come home from college soccer practice. She leaned on the door, her long, muscular legs crossed at the ankle. She shook her head.
"Eat that pussy, make my mom cum," she growled. "Or I'll make ya do it!"
"Mmmm, yes, Amy, make him make mommy cum," Beth hissed, sitting back and fingering her clit.
"OK, Mom, get ready to do the Mouse Trap!"
Amy grabbed the back of my head and rudely rammed it into Beth's gaping, cum-stained pussy. Like a mouse trap, Beth's limber legs snapped shut around my ears, her muscular thighs clamping hard on my skull,my mouth trapped at the gushing wound of her cunt.
"Clean that cummy cunt out," she hissed, grinding her thighs on my ears, mashing my mouth into the sopping snatch. "Eat that cum, lick it clean, swallow your load..."
My skull felt like it would crack, so great was the pressure Beth was putting on it from her scissors. She locked up her ankles tight and ground down hard, all the while emptying her pussy into my mouth by milking down with her cuntal muscles, undulating load after load of my cream into my swallowing face. I gobbled and licked and sucked to keep from drowning in my own seed, wishing that I'd jacked off more often to keep from cumming so much a minute ago.
"Is he making you cum, Mom?" Amy asked, kneeling on the couch next to Beth, leaning over to suckle her titties. "Can I help?"
"Yeah, that's it baby, suck mommy's tits, just like that," Beth cooed, eyes closed as Amy suckled first one boob, then the other. "That'll make Mommy cum..."
And she did, in buckets, gushing her woman cream down my throat with the last of my own spunk. I gobbled and ate and swallowed until Beth finally scissored me so hard in her hip-snapping orgasm that I passed out cold. When I awoke, the two women, one almost fifty, the daughter 18, were embraced in a tongue-swapping, crotch-humping kiss, each kneading the other's ass. Amy had stripped down to drooping athletic white socks and cleats, her mom's hands embedded in her creamy white rump meat.
"Hey, he's awake," Amy giggled over her mom's shoulder as her mom licked her daughter's neck. "On your knees, spunk slave."
I balked and Amy broke the kiss to walk to me and brutally slap my face from side to side before kneeing me in the nuts. I doubled over in pain and hit my knees, and Amy took me in a standing headscissors, her teen girl thighs etched in slender, silky muscle. I pulled at her socked ankles which were crossed as she stood on one foot, pouring tons of pressure into my skull with her thighs.
"I told you to hit your knees, now do what you're told," she growled, snapping the scissor hard. "I can and will bust you in my scissorlocks, my mom can, too. Now get over behind my mom!!"
She hip snapped me out of her lethal leg lock and I knelt behind Beth, face to face with her glorious ass, shapely and hard for a woman of middle age. Amy knelt in front and stuck her hand into her mom's snatch, three fingers, going in deep.
"Just trolling for the deep stuff you may have missed," she said, leaning into it and now lapping her mother's thick clit. "Oh, here's some!!"
She pulled her hand out, holding open Beth's well-fucked cunt, and a huge dollop of my come plopped out, a thick glob of hit hitting the back of her thigh and running in a creamy white streak down to her calf.
"Lick that cum off my mom's calf and thigh, lick it up," Amy growled, coming around to grab my ears and force my face to the cummy mess on her mother's muscular legs. "Suck that calf!"
I obeyed, attaching my mouth to Beth's supple calf, sucking it clean and running my tongue up the back of her lean leg to slurp the soup off her thigh. Amy let go and I slumped back against the couch.
"Mom, I feel bad for you, fucking a shrimp dick like this," Amy said, grabbing the phone and backing up over my face, spreading the supple cheeks of her ass to expose her sweaty rosebud asshole, sitting down hard, the back of my head on the couch, Amy's ass engulfing my face. "Let me call Bobby and a couple of his buddies, they love your body."
"Oh, yeah, BIG Bobby...get Al, too, Christ that kid is hung," Beth said, spreading her daughter's ass for her and skewering her sweaty shitchute with my nose.
"Smell that asshole," Beth hissed, slapping my forehead and poking my eyes which were gazing up the swell of her daughter's muscular rump as it held my face fast inside of it. "Sniff my daughter's shitty butt."
I did, and gagged. She'd been at sports practice all afternoon and was decidedly unclean. But I obeyed, especially when Beth went around front and started mauling my nuts, kneading the meat of them in her strong fingers.
"Yeah, Bobby, come on over, my mom is soooooo fucking horny....who's there, Al? And Marcus, too?"
"FUCK, get that ass over here NOW!!!" Beth boomed.
Amy laughed and hung up. Bobby, her teen boyfriend, was hung, at 9 inches and thick, and Beth loved fucking the boy. And Al was hung even longer, 10 inches, a little slimmer than Bobby's but able to get deep inside the older woman's insatiable pussy. And Marcus was the star basketball player on the high school team, 6-feet, five-inches of black muscle and a 13-inch cock that was the talk of the campus and the entire county. When Beth fucked Marcus, she'd go off into another world, most women did.
"Uh-oh, Mom, we shouldn't have had those beans last night," Amy laughed, ripping a barrage of juicy wet farts directly up my nose. I twitched under her, my legs flopping, with Beth still stretching my nuts apart in her powerful, tanned hands.
"Hey, get it out now, before company comes," Beth laughed, letting go my nuts to suckle her daughter's tiny tits as she rode my face, punishing my nose inside her gritty asshole.
The bell rang a little while later and the three boys came in, walking into the room where Amy was still grinding her dirty little asshole into my face. They roared with laughter and started stripping off their clothes. Beth moaned, kneeling before the three of them, first sucking Bobby's cock to life, then Al's and finally inhaling the thick tube of black meat that was Marcus's massive wang.
"Fuck, Marcus, this thing get bigger since the last time or what?" Beth growled, rubbing the massive cock cap all over her face, soaking her pretty features in the constant stream of pre-cum the kid was oozing. "Goddam."
"Tell ya, Mrs. T, you keep sucking my cock like that, it'll ALWAYS get bigger for you!" the muscular black stud moaned, head back and rubbing Beth's blonde hair with his long fingers.
"Bobby, fuck me, fuck me now," Amy hissed, climbing off my face and booting me to the floor so she could sit on the couch, slender legs spread. "And you, your cock, my mouth, NOW!"
I watched the bizarre scene unfold as my girlfriend just devoured Marcus's quivering fuckstick, using two hands to stroke the spit-soaked prick deep down her throat, while Bobby knelt between Amy's muscular legs and fucked her hard, with Al standing on the couch, getting his knob gobbled.
"Beth...please...this isn't right..stop," I groaned, getting up to my feet, looking at my pretty girl imploringly as she filled her face with black cock.
She didn't even turn to look at me, instead shooting a fist back and catching me flush in my naked nuts, flattening them. I crashed back into the wall and fell to my knees in a heap, clutching my crotch. The room erupted with laughter.
"You think that's funny, look at this!" Beth laughed, popping Marcus's prick from her mouth and descending on me, putting me in a reverse headscissors, my face up her muscular haunches as her thighs chewed at my head and she devoured my soft cock into her mouth.
Minutes later I was fully erect, shamefully so when compared to the studs in the room. She sat up on my face, taking my nose up her ass, and pointed triumphantly to my pecker.
"Have you EVER seen anything so pathetic?" she said disgustedly.
"Fuck, he's hung like a baby," Al groaned, still ramming his big pecker into Amy's sucking mouth.
"Shit, he satisfy you with that thing?" Bobby asked, looking over his shoulder from where he was pounding Amy's cunt.
"Shit, no, that's why I'm gonna fuck you all blind," Beth groaned, rubbing her ass all over my face. "He's so fucking small, it makes me want to do THIS!"
She balled up both hands into fists and rammed them brutally hard down into my exposed balls, forcing me to scream in agony up her ass and curl my legs up in involuntary response.
"Put those fucking legs down!" Beth yelled. "Now!"
I had to obey and sure enough, she delivered another double shot of fist to my aching balls, over and over until I passed out from the sheer pain. When I woke up, Marcus was fucking my girlfriend on the floor next to me, her muscular legs wrapped around his trim middle. On the couch, Al was fucking Amy from below while Bobby stuffed her tight teen ass from behind.
"Shit, you're so fucking tight for a middle-aged woman, Mrs. T, fuck, fuck, every time we screw, you just milk me dry!" Marcus screamed, the veins in his neck standing out under his jet-black skin.
"CUMMING!!!! AGAIN!!!!" Beth screamed, eyes rolling in her head as she went off into another well-fucked world.
They all came at once, Marcus scorching a load so big up Beth's cunt it boiled out around the thick base of his cock in a frothy ring and coated her asshole below. Al pumped Amy's pussy full of his spew at the same time Bobby blasted a load deep into her twitching bowels. I sat back against the couch, humiliated and scared, sobbing into my hands.
"Look at the baby fucking cry, awwwwwwwww, poor baby!" Amy laughed, popping the two teen cocks from her asshole and cunt and walking over to me to slap my face hard with her hand. "Look at me!"
I looked up, tears running down my face.
"You're not worth shit, except to do this," she hissed, spreading her lithe legs and pointing to a thick wad of Al's cum clinging to her downy pussy hair and running down her muscular thighs. "Eat it!"
She grabbed my ears and rammed me facefirst into her thighs, scissoring my ears and rubbing her gooey cunthole into my mouth. She flexed her cuntal muscles and a flood of Al's spunk rippled into my mouth, choking me. I swallowed and gulped the bitter brew down to keep from drowning. Amy then guided my face down each cream-coated thigh, forcing me to lick each clean. She then rammed a foot to my nuts, rolled me to my back and rudely sat on my face.
"Thought I'd forget about THIS load?" she roared, spreading her muscular haunches in her hands, her cum-stained butthole opened and poised at my mouth. "Guess again! EAT UP!"
She grunted and farted out a massive plug of Bobby's spunk, blasting it right into my mouth, which she then sat on and rudely ground herself on me, crapping out the rst of Bobby's thick spew until I ate every drop, a sheen of his cream coating my crying face. She got up and stomped my nuts with her socked foot for good measure. I rolled in agony to my side, face to face with Beth, who was still getting fucked slowly by the ever-stiff Marcus.
"Saved the best for last, darlin'," Beth hissed, pushing Marcus off her and spinning to face me, lifting her legs high in the air and holding her own ankles. "Look at this!"
I looked inside; Beth's pussy was ravaged, wide open, a gaping, puffy hole and deep inside her cuntal walls was a veritable lake of Marcus's thick white cream. Beth laughed and contracted her pussy, forcing a blob out to the entrance of her well-fucked cunt.
"Amy, feed him," Beth growled, looking at her daughter.
Amy giggled and knelt, grabbing my hair and pushing it toward's Beth's hole, which reeked of cum and sweat.
"Stick your tongue into that soup," Amy barked. "Just your tongue, that's it!"
I had to obey, slicing the tip of my tongue into the bitter hot brew in Beth's opened cunt wound, tasting the tangy sauce. Amy laughed.
"Now put your mouth to it and suck," she growled. "Suck the whole load outta my mom's cunt!"
She punched my head forward, my mouth forming a seal over Beth's cunny. Instantly, my mouth was flooded with a thick river of cum, jetting out of Beth's pussy as she convulsed her cunt and shot the whole wad into me. I gulped and gagged, swallowing as best I could while Bobby, Al and Marcus stood cheering and laughing, their massive cocks hanging limp and wet from their crotches. Amy pulled my face out of her mother's sopping snatch and drilled it with four fingers, scooping out the deep stuff and holding it in her palm.
"Suck my hand clean, spunk slave," she hissed, tipping her hand and letting the hot spew dribble into my mouth. "Now tongue my palm, tongue it dry!"
I obeyed and then fell to the floor, curled into a ball in shame, my face coated with spunk. Beth and Amy stood, kissing madly, slurping each other's tongues into their mouths while the boys watched and stroked their massive cocks back to life.
"OK, you can wait here awhile until we're done for the night," Beth said, breaking the kiss with Amy and grabbing Al's and Bobby's cock in each hand, Amy grabbing Marcus's black stick and the lot of them heading for the bedroom. "Then you'll have a lot more cum to clean up!"
They laughed all the way down the hallway, leaving me to cry alone in the dark while I waited.

I downloaded and successfully installed XAMPP 1.8.1 on my Windows 7 64bit machine recently. My question is that 'occasionally', I seem to write to the MySQL database but upon running a query, the entry isn't there. It only happens now and then and usually, after I've already successfully written something to the database as in, on the second or third attempt.
Here's some of my PHP code:
mysql_connect($DBhost,$DBuser,$DBpass) or die("Unable to connect to database");
mysql_select_db($DBname) or die("Unable to select database $DBname");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
echo 'Error: Could not connect to database.';
$sqlquery = "INSERT INTO $table VALUES('$id', '$event', '$date', '$name', '$year')";
$results = mysql_query($sqlquery);
Oddly, no errors and the write always appears successful.
Some specifics on how I have the MySQL db table set up:
input text fields with a varchar type (except ID which is int). ID is primary key and default is 'latin1' with 'latin1_swedish_ci' collation. In matching another XP WAMP system that has worked flawlessly, I set the engine to MyISAM
Any ideas as to why it would only write to the database occasionally anyone?

The Winner: The Modern Woman by Eddie Ross!
Last night the polls closed after nearly two weeks of intense online voting, tweeting and interior design pressure focusing on three windows at 59th and Lexington. We want to thank Bloomingdale's and Elle Decor for making this possible AND all of YOU for voting and commenting. All three windows were remarkable and demonstrated great skill in starting with Bloomingdale's furniture to create a living space, and all were winners in their own way, BUT there's always only one winner, and the final vote detail is below.
This year, for first place, Bloomingdale's is giving yesterday's furniture sales profit (not exceeding $5,000) to the charity of Eddie and Elle Decor's choice, while the rest of us get an entry in the history books and lots of sympathy. :-). Thanks to all of you and see you next year on Lexington!

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team will try to sweep its current three-game home stand when the squad hosts Jacksonville State on Thursday night.
The two sides have already met once before this season- a 66-57 comeback win by TSU on Jan. 5. That victory was the Tigers' fourth during their current six-game winning streak and the third game of their 5-0 start to conference play.
In TSU's last game against Southeast Missouri, the team defeated the Redhawks, 81-69, thanks to a big night by Kellen Thornton. Thornton had a career-high 28 points in the victory on 10-of-15 shooting and tied a career-high with 16 boards.
The senior has been huge for TSU (11-7, 5-0 OVC) in the last five games, averaging 15.8 points and 11.4 boards. During that stretch, Thornton is second in the conference in rebounds per game and his 64.2 shooting percentage place him third.
Another player that has seen his production increase during OVC play is guard Patrick Miller. Miller had 20 points against SEMO, which matched his average points per game over the last five games. He currently ranks fifth in points during league play.
Miller has also scored over 10 points in every game of TSU's six-game winning streak.
For Jacksonville State, the Gamecocks enter Thursday's contest with a 12-5 overall record and a 4-2 conference mark. JSU has also won back-to-back OVC games since losing to TSU.
Jacksonville State currently has four players who average in double-figures in Darion Rackley (14.0), Tarvin Gaines (13.8), Brian Williams (11.7) and Ronnie Boggs (10.6).
Last time the teams met, Rackley had a game-high 22 points. However, Gaines has been JSU's most consistent scorer during the last few weeks, averaging 16.2 points per contest during the Gamecock's league games.
JSU does not lack scoring options, and the team also possesses a strong defense. The Gamecocks rank first in the OVC in scoring defense, only allowing an average of 60.4 points per contest.
TSU will need to continue to play with effort as the squad puts its 7-0 home record on the line against a team looking for revenge on Thursday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. and the contest can be seen on the OVC Digital Network.

5 Unique Kitchen Fume Hoods by Barriviera Cappe
As a renter with a New York galley kitchen, one of my kitchen dreams is to have a proper range hood above the stove to help maintain the air quality in the small apartment while cooking. Appliancist has rounded up some very unique designs from Italian company Barriviera Cappe that bring some fun and funky to function.
All 5 of these design are from Barriviera Cappe — and they are either from their Design or Modern line.
• 1 Kappa is a range hood shaped like a K from old signage — K is for kitchen?
• 2 The Ora model features an integrated clock design.
• 3 The polka-dot themed Coccinella.
• 4 The sleek Indy Legno design.
• 5 Diamante looks like it came straight off of Battlestar Gallactica!
You can see even more unique kitchen fume hoods rounded up in a single post on Appliancist | Kitchen Range Hoods by Barriviera Cappe.

Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were happy, and filled with love and joy.
It's 2013 and I'm so glad to be back with you again!
This week on "Sunday With Sarah" I discuss the benefit of rhythm and routine for young children, and how it can make our job of parenting so much easier.
What is the flow of your day like? Do you long for a more rhythmic life? Have any tips to share with others? Share your struggles and successes here!

Russell Wilson has indicted he thought something big will happen, or words to that effect. That remark interpretted as perhaps an announcement of an upcoming visit from the stork in the young Wilson family may be another in clues or possible misdirection of the front office. Curious comment perhaps meaningless, but in the past the QB has had some inside knowledge of the draft plans of which there are likely many, and subject to change the team may also give RW a heads up so he doesn't feel threatened.
Lets assume for discussion that one way or another that Flynn is traded or released leading up to the draft. What then at backup?
We all know that Pete likes Barkley and many here wanted him last year. Barkley seems to be dropping in the draft and now appears a late first round or early round two pick. Assuming as well he falls to 25. Wouldn't it be a big move to draft Barkley at 25? Isn't another unpredictable draft move likely to be panned by those who think they know what P &J will do? Wouldn't adding Barkley give the team two solid young QBs @ a lower cost than we presently are paying? I know some here would be outraged at the thought of this but the idea of this makes available a large amount of cap to re-up the upcoming renewals. It gives the team another athletic QB one who while not experienced may offer not a total loss of hope if RW goes down, along with legit competition for RW. Finally come contract renewal time the team has a potentially valuable trade piece with Barkley.
Clearly Wilson comment was made before the recent Smith trade so maybe it's out date now. Maybe just the uncertainty of a clear candidate at 25 has me wondering. Picking him up would ensure he doesn't become a divisional rival in AZ or a backup in SFallowing them the same benefits. Maybe I just had a few too many tonight.

Molded from a live Abies procera, this is the world's most realistic Noble Fir, meticulously strung with the best LED lights.
Unrivaled Realism
Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, it is the only tree with three-dimensional, injection-molded branch tips that replicate the exact growth patterns, curved, prickly needles, and branch silhouettes of a freshly cut Noble Fir.

Its memory wire branches instantly fan out, resulting in a fuller, more natural-looking tree that requires minimal shaping. The inner branches and trunk are lined with broad fibers to bolster the conifer's fullness, a material overused by lesser trees.
The Best Lights
The World's Best Prelit Noble Fir tree has LEDs that last 25,000 hours--8X longer than typical incandescents while consuming 98% less power and produce the same traditional warm glow. Includes metal stand. White or multicolored lights.
Pole Connect Technology
Eliminates the need to connect light cords together for each trunk section.

text: Many Harvey County residents will do a portion of their holiday shopping on the Internet. According to the National Retail Federation, 50.8 percent of Americans will make at least one holiday purchase online. But as more consumers turn to the Internet to do their shopping, so do the fraudsters with their scams. Midland National Bank suggests that consumers follow some simple steps to protect themselves while shopping online. "We encourage everyone to shop locally as much as possible. Most of what can be found online can also be found right here in Harvey County," said Bank President Ron Lang. "We understand, however, that some people like to shop online because of the convenience. The important thing is that we all have to take steps to protect ourselves and our financial information. Don't let the spirit of the season get ruined by online fraud." Midland National Bank offers the following tips for those who shop online: · If you're not sure, don't share. Anyone can set up a website these days so be sure you're familiar with the retailer's site before you give them any of your financial information. The Better Business Bureau has a list of about 70,000 safe websites. Check it out at: http://www.bbb.org/online/consumer/default.aspx. · Is the site secure? Look for the 's' in https:// and a small padlock at the bottom of the screen before entering any payment information. · Know the terms of your purchase. Is the product returnable and if so, who pays the shipping fees? How long will the product take to ship? What does shipping cost? Read the fine print. If it's not clear or you don't agree, make the purchase elsewhere. · Print & Save. Be sure to print and save the transaction receipt, the order number, a customer service phone number, and any other information you can just in case there's a problem with your order. · Check the privacy policy. Find out what they're doing with your information by reading the privacy policy. If it's too complicated to read or they don't have one, choose to do business with a more consumer friendly website. · TMI. Don't divulge too much information to anyone on the Internet. If a website is asking for your bank account number, social security number or driver's license number, don't share it. · Know your rights. If you suspect you are a victim of fraud, you can contact the Federal Trade Commission at: www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can also contact the Kansas Attorney General at: http://ag.ks.gov/. Be sure to report it to the Better Business Bureau, too.

Looks like the non-standard digital 7 - 8 gap is still there - surely this was the time to move on!
It also looks to have two voltage regs. If so, this would seem to indicate separate 5V and 3.3V sources. 3.3V would therefore support more current than the FTDI chip does today.
it's designed to be compatible with current shields
I did not see a reset button, and the headers do not look like they will work with the current shields, so maybe the spacing is fixed!

Avid fans of the movie, which was filmed in Cleveland, are directed this holiday season to the Cleveland Play House, where a live-action version of Ralphie's misadventures opens Friday.
A 9-year-old named Ralphie Parker and his single-minded quest to get a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas have been entertaining audiences for 30 years in the screen comedy "A Christmas Story."
Avid fans of the movie, which was filmed in Cleveland, are directed this holiday season to the Cleveland Play House, where a live-action version of Ralphie's misadventures opens Friday.
About the enduring popularity of "A Christmas Story," Cleveland Play House artistic director Laura Kepley said, "It's a story that transports us back to our childhood, no matter what era we grew up in. It is silly, fun and nostalgic, but at its core, it reminds us of our own families and let's the childhood delight of the season live in our hearts once again."
John McCluggage, who is directing this Cleveland production, said there's abundant reason to see the play, even though the movie is readily available on TV.
"First of all, there's nothing like live theater and sharing that experience with 500 other people," said McCluggage, who previously directed "A Christmas Story" in Missouri, California, New Hampshire and New York. "I prefer the stage version. It's much more immediate, obviously, and the young actors bring a particular joie de vivre that's palpable."
A major local angle to the show is the actor starring as Ralphie — Matthew Taylor, age 12, of Jackson Township.
"This is definitely the most fun I've ever had in a show," said Taylor, a sixth-grader at Jackson Middle School and a seasoned actor with multiple regional credits. "I get to fight with Scut Farkus. I get to wear the bunny suit. My favorite is the soap scene when (Ralphie's mother) puts the soap in my mouth, and I have to act it out."
"Matthew is a terrific kid. He brings a wonderful energy," McCluggage said. "When he auditioned, I found out he actually played Ralphie's younger brother, Randy, when the playhouse did the show two years ago. He's graduated to playing the lead role. He has an hour commute to the theater after a full day of school, and I respect that so much. He's onstage virtually the entire time."
Matthew's mother, Julie Taylor, said he's become "very casual" about the demands of theater, after appearing in productions at the Great Lakes Theatre Festival, Magical Theatre Company and Canton Players Guild. "But when it's time to walk in and do his audition, he's serious and he turns it on. It's been neat to see him grow like this." She gives major thanks to his teachers, who have worked with Matthew, a straight-A student, to accommodate his frequent absences due to theater work.
Matthew, who has the same manager as the Jonas Brothers, said he'd like to be a full-time actor one day. "I guess my Plan B is to be a doctor," he said.
The set for the Cleveland Play House's "A Christmas Story" incorporates "what we call doughnut revolve," Kepley said. "It allows for a 360 degree look at the iconic house on Cleveland Street." The house revolves on one turntable, and the separate outer "doughnut" delivers furniture, the family car and a tree.
"There's a challenge in adapting a film, which can be shot on location anywhere, for the stage," McCluggage said. "But what the theater does better than any other art form is it allows the audience to use their imagination." The fantasy sequences, including the jungle fantasy, the desperadoes and a teacher who turns into a wicked witch, "are not nearly as charming in the movie as they are onstage," he said. "There's even a little love interest for Ralphie that's nowhere in the movie."
And there is, of course, the Cleveland angle. "I think 'A Christmas Story' is especially resonant here because Ralphie's house is here (see accompanying story), and Cleveland has rightful ownership of the movie," McCluggage said. "Cleveland is a major city, but from my experiences here, it's a big small town."

Victory In The Face Of Disaster
- Artículos
MaximsNewsNetwork: HUNGER, MALNUTRITION & CHILD DEATHS: ...
You would imagine that with the pressure of thousands of children arriving at camps, tired, ill and worn down by extreme weather and days of desperately waiting and searching for a bite of food or water, that hope would be lost with schools.
Today, there are over, 155 IDPs schools, since last year September in Mogadishu. In, October 37,000 students have been given the chance for education, despite being malnourished , sick and victim to the drought that has displace many and killed thousands. Schools lack resources, sharing what is needed, but children intent on learning, sit on the floor eager to see what can be taught to them. Although many arrive, unable to walk, and in desperate need of medical attention, with the help of UNICEF and other organizations, the children are soon eager to start school. Lisa Doherty, pointed out that many schools, have had to close because of the droughts. However, despite this, UNICEF make a concerted effort to keep learning facilities open. "In some cases there have been massive influxes of communities and school-aged children into urban areas where there aren't school facilities to absorb them all,"Says, Lisa Doherty. Doherty, continues to explain: "We will have to install additional learning spaces in schools where they will have to absorb additional children, and we will have to recruit and train teachers probably very quickly to fill the gaps."
Whilst thousands are getting opportunity to be schooled, a further 1.8 million of children aged between 5 and 17 are not getting the opportunity to an education. This is what makes, the learning camps so important. Lisa Doherty, continues to explain, Somalia had one of the lowest enrollment rates in the world with less than 30 per cent of children attending primary school before the crisis,". She continues to explain, "We're anticipating even worse figures as schools try to re-open in September. But if we activate our emergency response, we can make a huge difference."
Schooling holds a precious position in the Horn of Africa. At school, or the learning centers, children can find safety, attention, and food. Most of all, children get a chance at creating a secure future.

Yellow Dot
In an effort to better serve and protect citizens in Etowah County, Sheriff Todd Entrekin partners with the Northeast Alabama Traffic Safety Office to provide the Yellow Dot Program. The Yellow Dot Program is designed to assist citizens and first responders in the event of an automobile accident. The program can help save lives by improving communication at a time when accident victims may not be able to communicate for themselves.
Etowah County was chosen to pilot the Yellow Dot Program in Alabama, in 2009, due in part to the higher than state average of citizens age 65 and older. Currently, 36 counties in Alabama are participating in the program.
The Yellow Dot Program is a cooperative effort between local Sheriff's Deputies, Fire Departments, Emergency Medical Services, Police Officers, State Troopers, Non-Profits, Civic and Religious Organizations.
How Does the Program Work?
Participants of the program will have their picture taken, complete a personal information form and will be given a Yellow Dot folder and decal. All of the essential information will be placed into the folder and then into the glove box of their car. The Yellow Dot decal will be placed in the lower left corner of the rear window of the participant's car. The decal alerts first responders that medical information can be found in the glove compartment.
This information helps first responders get in touch with emergency contacts and ensures that a person's current medication and conditions are considered when treatments are administered for injuries.
How Much Does It Cost to Sign-Up?
It is a FREE service provided to individuals of all ages, with an emphasis on senior citizens.
Where Can I Sign-Up?
Individuals wanting to participate in the Yellow Dot Program can sign-up at one of the permanent enrollment locations:
- Etowah County Sheriff's Office, 827 Forrest Avenue, Gadsden, 256-546-2825
- Northeast AL Traffic Safety Office, Etowah Co. Courthouse, Gadsden, 256-549-8142
- Gadsden Fire Department, Main Office, 322 Walnut Street, Gadsden, 256-549-4580
- Family Success Center, A United Way Agency, 821 Broad Street, Gadsden, 256-547-6888
- Rural/Metro Ambulance, 1516 West Grand Avenue, Gadsden, 256-442-1611
- 12th Street Baptist Church, 800 West Grand Avenue, Rainbow City, 256-546-0471
- Southside Baptist Church, 3975 Highway 77, Southside, 256-442-8602
Special enrollment events will be held at various locations in the county throughout the year.

It seems to me that people are really just attracted to the areas of detail. I would assume with a cityscape the eyes will linger in the area of the buildings that have the most detail and spend little time in the sky and clouds. To me I would think as a viewer you're trying to absorb all the information in a picture to understand it. I'm sure if the picture were abstract scribbles with more concentrated areas a person would spend time in the concentrated areas even if they don't depict a physical identifiable object. At least that is what I'm taking away from these experiments.

That's interesting - my own eyes were far more attracted to the planes of shadow on the cheek and neck, though the person observed here barely glanced at those areas.
Reminds me of a 2007 study comparing eye movements of laypersons and artists while looking at paintings. Non-artists tended to focus on areas of more detail (like people and faces), while artists were more likely to take in the entire picture, including negative space and the less-detailed areas.
I wonder if the person studied in this picture was trained as an artist? It doesn't seem to say in the source link.

- runninghead said...
I'd be interested to learn about the correlation between eye movement and the subjective apprehension of the gathered information too.
I mean, these are the points the physical eye dwells on, the cognitive 'eye' may well take that data, process it and present it to the concious mind in a slightly different manner.
Disparities between the two might contribute insights to our understanding of the whole process.
- February 11, 2012 at 5:10 PM
- James Gurney said...
Runninghead, I think you've brought up a very important point, one that interests me, too. Put another way, these eye tracking experiments track foveal movement, but don't really measure how we perceive of larger shapes or contours through peripheral vision, or whether we're looking at the color or texture or thinking about something else entirely. I would suspect that one approach would be to correlate scanpath data with real-time brain scans. I've asked scientists in this arena how much we can deduce of cognitive experience from scanpath data, and they admit it's still somewhat limited.

- phiq said...
@runninghead - Exactly what I was thinking; well said.
- February 11, 2012 at 8:41 PM
- Erik Bongers said...
Hear, hear to runninghead.
One way that might help here is to let
artists view the image.
The different pathway suggest different apprehension and cognitive processing.
Other factor is not only how often we focus on a detail but also how long we stay on it, and how slow we move to a next part, as is illustrated in
these more complex infographics. Staying longer on an item or moving slower to the next, might reveal more heavy cognitive processing.
- February 12, 2012 at 5:24 AM
- Chris Beatrice said...
Call me skeptical, but I'm not sure that measuring precisely what the eye is aimed at (and for relatively how long) tells us all that much useful about picture-making or how we see.

How many hours a week are you spending in the saddle this year?
Around 14hrs a week. Moving up grades is not only about your ability to gain strength through training although that's the biggest factor, its about making the right decisions at the right time in any race your in. This is the hardest thing to learn about racing I think. Jump 20 meters to early in the sprint game over, jump 20 meters to late in the sprint not in the game, get into a break away with wrong group you just waste your energy & same as chasing the break to hard when nobody else is interested in the bunch. So many little things in a race have a big impact on your overall result. I'm no sprinter that's for sure but not so bad that I cant contest them either. Best thing I can do is make it as tough as I can with some collaboration with others to soften the sprinters up before it gets to the last 300 meters Catching people out is part of the fun, just not being caught out is the trick but it happens often that's why we keep going back so we can work on our experiments isn't it.
The original question is answered in the yes based on my experience, but you have to have the right training plan from a expert in that field. The younger you are I would imagine it is a little easier if you are somewhat athletic in any way shape or form & you also have a bigger window to gain experience & to build a solid number of years in the legs.
