A few months ago I toyed with the idea of doing syntax highlighting with javascript. I'm sure there's several published solutions out there that do the same thing, but I figured I'd give it a go myself, mainly to practice up on my meagre javascript skills. I set out with the following goals:
- Highlight the code in a completely unobtrusive manner.
- Use absolutely no inline markup.
Basically, I wanted to be able to paste in the following markup...
<code class="csharp"> private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { LoadEntity(); } private void LoadEntity() { User user = new User(); /* Get the id of the entity from the request */ if( this.RequestedEntityID > 0 ) { user.ID = this.RequestedEntityID; BrokerFactory.Fill( user ); } //Load the appropriate view EntityControl cont = (EntityControl)LoadControl( "EditStaff.ascx" ); cont.BoundEntity = user; this.phEntity.Controls.Add( cont ); } </code>
...and have the syntax highlighting just work. I currently have some test code that is partly working (although not in IE, there seems to be a problem with setting the text to be pre-formatted). View the source to see what I'm up to. It should be easy to extend it to check for the type of highlighting that's required based on the class of the code tag.
In closing, my main reason for posting this is that I'd like to see this working, but just don't have the time or energy to finish it off in the near future. So if anyone knows of an existing solution that works in the same way, or wants to continue on with this implementation, feel free to let me know.

US Open in Philadelphia
With the playing of the US Open this week at Merion the spotlight on greater Philadelphia — returns to the front page in the golf world.
The City of Brotherly Love — founded in 1682 by William Penn — has some of the finest golf courses in the nation — most notably on the private side of the ledger with the likes of Aronimink, Rolling Green and Huntington Valley, to name just a few. Merion / East is hosting its 5th US Open and the facility will host a record 17th USGA Championship.
For those bringing clubs to Phillie during Open week or at any other time it pays to sample the public options below. The range of courses runs the gamut — there's city-owned Cobbs Creek designed by Hugh Wilson — the man responsible for both courses at Merion. You also have old-time architects who have left their handiwork with the likes of Donald Ross at Jeffersonville. The recent vintage includes places like Glen Mills, Lederach and Scotland Run — just across the Delaware River in New Jersey.
Philadelphia also offers a slew of top tier attractions and places to visit. Much of America's earliest days can be traced here — the roots of America are certainly here with the likes of Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and a rich mix of architectural styles that add considerable heft and attention.
Bring your appetite as well. Philadelphia has a slew of top tier spots — with the world renowned cheesesteaks leading the way.
Places to Play …
The Golf Course at Glen Mills – Glen Mills, PA
Par-71, / 6,636 Yards
Often mentioned as the leading public course to play in the greater Philadelphia area. Designed by Bobby Weed, Glen Mills provides rolling terrain to a solid mixture of holes. The golf course is named for the Glen Mills Schools which dates back to 1826 and has been at the forefront in helping at-risk youth.
Scotland Run GC — Williamstown, NJ
Par-71 / 6,810 Yards
Located about 30 minutes from Philadelphia on the Jersey side of the Delaware — Scotland Run is a Stephen Kay design and provides a combination of elements — wooded in spots and includes links-like holes that move in and around a former quarry site. Well routed and often in superior conditioning. The par-4 16th is a classic risk and reward hole.
Lederach GC — Harleysville, PA
Par-71 / 7,025 Yards
Designed by Kelly Blake Moran — Lederach is clearly outside the norm of ho-hum matter-of-fact public courses. The layout incorporates various shape and contours on the putting surfaces. Just reaching the green is only half the battle. First time visitors will need to pay particular attention to landing one's tee ball in the appropriate location. Thinking golf is alive and well here.
Makefield Highlands — Yardley, PA
Par-72 / 7,058 Yards
Located in the northeast suburbs of Bucks County — Makefield Highlands is a recent addition — 2004 — to the greater Philadelphia golf market. Turf quality is generally top shelf and the layout by architect Rick Jacobson uses the former farmland with a good mixture of holes. Choose the appropriate tees when playing — the slightest miscues will be penalized — in fact, 22,000 balls were fished out of the fronting pond at the par-4 15th.
Cobbs Creek (Olde) — Philadelphia, PA
Par-71 / 6,202 Yards
The first golf course in Philadelphia dating back to 1916 — Cobbs Creek is the handiwork of Hugh Wilson — the man responsible for the design of Merion / East & West. Interestingly, the course is only four miles from the US Open site. Avoiding the creek on the early holes is a must and dealing with the land grade changes and lengthier holes on the back is no small task either.
Wyncote GC / Oxford, PA
Par-72 / 7,148 Yards
Tucked away in Oxford — located in the southeast corner of Pennsylvania — Wyncote is a heathlands layout and is designed by Brian Ault. When played from the tips — Wyncote requires a merging of sufficient distance in tandem with uncanny accuracy to get near pin location on some of the more vexing greens one can putt. Be ready to play or perish.
Jeffersonville GC / Jeffersonville, PA
Par-70 / 6,443 Yards
When the fingerprints of legendary architect Donald Ross are on your course — it's hard to ignore or beat. Opened in 1931, Jeffersonville has been updated smartly in recent times by Ron Pritchard and the restoration work has added much of the original character and charm. The long par-4 1st hole may be the best public opener in the region.
Paxon Hollow CC / Media, PA
Par-71 / 5,709 Yards
Not long in total distance but wonderfully crafted on a small piece of property. Dating back to 1926 — Paxon Hollow illustrates the importance of shot making and placement. Be wary of Trout Run which meanders throughout the course. The closing par-5 18th is a real treat because so much can happen on this final hole.
Five things to do when in the greater Philly area !
* Longwood Gardens
An incredible array of horticulture, fountains, and various concerts scheduled throughout the summer months. Located in Kennett Square — less than 40 miles from the core of Philadelphia but well worth the ride. Great family fun indeed. www.longwoodgardens.org/
* Independence Hall
Where the US Constitution was drafted and the Declaration of Independence adopted on July 4, 1776. Visitors are admitted free of charge by tour only, with tours beginning in the East Wing. Visitors need a free timed ticket for the Independence Hall Tours from March through December. www.nps.gov/inde/independence–hall-1.htm/
* Liberty Bell
No visit to the Philadelphia area should miss this iconic landmark — the "bell" of liberty is indeed alive and well here. The inscription says it clearly and succinctly — "Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants."
* Adventure Aquarium / Camden, NJ
Just across the Delaware from Philadelphia. Provides a slew of interesting options for all ages. The perfect place to be in the summer time when the weather fails to cooperate. www.adventureaquarium.com
* Philly Cheesesteaks …
Be sure to have a cheesesteak when in town — hard to resist when properly prepared with all the fixings. The choices below will certainly help solve your appetite – but likely not your overall weight!
Tony Luke's – Oregon Avenue – Cheesesteak/Roast Pork — be sure to try the seasoned roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe with seasoned Italian Fries – out of this world experience.
DiNic's – Reading Terminal Market – Roast Pork
Jim's Steaks – 4th & South Street – Cheesesteak
Geno's/Pat's – 9th & Passyunk – Cheesesteak
Shank's – Columbus Blvd. – Cheesesteak

Everything Happens for a Reason
As my summer is drawing to a close, I can say that I am a true believer of the saying, "everything happens for a reason". Quitting my second job, after three weeks, and all the family disputes have taught me that every obstacle comes with a blessing. If I did not leave my second job at the beginning of the summer, I would have never gotten my internship. As one of my favorite parts of my summer, I can say I am truly grateful things happened they way it did.
I had many good times and some bad times on this island in the past four months. And as much as I love my family and I appreciate the gorgeous place I live in, it is time for me to head back to school.
Newer beginnings are about to start. A new apartment and a new semester are going to keep me busy, but I honestly cannot wait for this upcoming months. As hard as it will probably be, I know it will shape me into the person that I am meant to be. A new chapter is beginning for all of us, may it treat you as well as I hope it treats me.

Auckland Transport is being urged to pave over a grass berm in the city's wealthy Remuera to make room for more park-and-ride commuters at a full-up car park.
The car park at the Ōrākei train station is always full by 7.25am on weekdays, says community politician Troy Churton.
"'Innovative' and sometimes technically unlawful parking is happening on a daily weekday basis," the Ōrākei Local Board member says.
The free car park has space for 178 vehicles, of which 10 are limited to four hours.
Churton, who emphasises he doesn't want more parking fines imposed on errant drivers, calls for up to six of the four-hour spaces to have the time restrictions lifted.
"I also believe berm areas at the west end of the car park could be designed to take a few more cars."
Churton's move comes after a new and clearer sign was erected to keep "Remuera tractors" - SUVs - and other hefty vehicles off an ailing car park platform in the eastern Auckland suburb's Clonbern Rd.
In board papers, Churton asserts that Auckland Transport's regional public transport plan "does not entertain funds for park and ride capacity improving until at least 2024-28".
He is appealing for board backing to ask Auckland Transport to create more long-term spaces at the Ōrākei station car park.
Auckland Transport, however, is unmoved by the Churton scheme.
"It doesn't fit with our policy on park and ride," said a spokesman for the Auckland Council-controlled organisation.
"[The policy] is about increasing capacity at the edges of the network ... in places like Silverdale and Westgate."
AT said the region has around 5500 park-and-ride spaces, almost all of which are taken by 8.30am on weekdays. Even by 7.30am, only 15 per cent are left.
The organisation said some of the money from the new regional fuel tax will be used to add around 1900 new parking spaces in coming years. It is adding more than 400 this year - at Takanini and Albany - with possibly another 90 at Silverdale next year.
In 2015, AT said up to 10,000 extra spaces would be needed by 2046.
The Automobile Association wants that many by 2027.
Berms, meanwhile, are in for attention from another direction. Auckland's local boards have been asked to identify any "problematic" or priority areas for berm mowing, weed control, and town-centre rubbish collection.
The request, from council officials, is an effort to smooth the transition in a potentially prickly issue from one group of service providers to another.
Auckland Transport resumed cutting the grass on berms in 2014 after an outcry over the halt in most cases to publicly-funded mowing beside roads the previous year.

Returning customers may need to create a new account.
Random accounts did not get copied to the new website
Welcome to WeaponStencils.com – the ORIGINAL website dedicated to providing all you applicators out there, the highest quality adhesive vinyl stencils you can get. Whether you're doing Cerakote, Duracoat, Gunkote, Krylon, stippling, etching or just about any other type of refinishing, we are here to help you complete your project.
WeaponStencils.com is a small, family run business that I started after a few years of doing some Duracoat work on the side. During that time, I scoured the web for anyone selling any sort of decent adhesive stencils, and other than a few fly-by-nighters with limited selection and some random, over-priced eBay listings, I was shocked to find no dedicated website for such a product (and definitely no one willing to do custom one-offs). I was literally hand-cutting digital camo out of some terrible tracing material I found at the art store, in order to complete projects. I knew there was a market and I knew I could build a brand, so here we are, over 3 years later and WeaponStencils.com is the leader in this niche, offering more patterns, at better prices, in an easier format, than any other website out there.
I designed this store from the ground up with the consumer in mind, because I knew what I wanted when I was searching the web. When I order online, I want an easy check-out process, to get the most for my money, and most importantly, fast and fair priced shipping. We ship free, within a day or two usually, and our stencil sheets are packed edge to edge with designs.
Another thing I look for from online sellers is reputation and American based small businesses – because Amazon is great, but sometimes you want to actually know who you're buying from, especially in this type of industry, where it's important to know your money is going to a grass roots type of business.
As an active duty law enforcement since 2005, working for a number of those years in the Special Victims Unit, I've dealt with the worst society has to offer. This business is my outlet, that allows me to deal with some of the best people, that keep this country running, day in and day out. As an active SWAT Operator and Instructor, I also know my guns and gear, and am quick to answer questions (or find the answer, if need-be).
If you have ANY questions or concerns, we ask that you give us the chance to help by sending us a message. This business is NOTHING without a happy customer and we pride ourselves on applying the Golden Rule to all inquiries, whether from a potential client or a long-time, return customer.
For more information, please visit out FAQ page – there's a lot more specific info there, about the type of vinyl we use and how to place a custom order.
Thanks for visiting our site and reading about who we are and how we can help.
Stay Frosty,
Owner, CEO, Web Master, Customer Service Manager, Product Developer and any other title you can think of!
The short answer? We sell a high quality, cost effective product, that ships quick, while providing top notch customer service.
We use the BEST material you can get. Avery SF100-235 High Bake is perfect for Duracoat, Cerakote, Gunkote, Krylon or even simple latex or acrylic paint.
We've crammed our designs with as many templates as we can fit on a sheet. We want you to get the most for your money because that's what we'd expect. The other guys are selling single 3″ stencils for the same price we're selling a sheet of 6, after you factor in their shipping costs….it's crazy.
I personally hate paying for shipping and waiting forever to get something. That's why all orders ship free and most orders go out next day, but no longer than 72 hours. We offer upgraded shipping options for less than it costs us: we do NOT inflate our shipping costs (another thing I hate).
Lastly, Weapon Stencils offers a level of customization not normally available with other service providers. We want to hear YOUR ideas and make them a reality, whether it be custom graphics, lettering or camo schemes we haven't thought of yet. Need one of our designs a little smaller? A little bigger? We got you covered, just shoot us a message
Don't Miss Our Next Big Sale....

I'll uproot Gowda from political scene: K'taka CM
"From today, my target is to eradicate the Gowda's party from the political scene of the state and I will not relent till attaining my goal," stated Yeddyurappa.
Hitting back at Gowda's suggestion to the BJP leaders to press for leadership change in the state, the chief minister claimed, "Let ten Gowdas come, they cannot shake the confidence of Yeddyurappa."
Pointing to the Oppositions' alleged involvement in several scandals, Yeddyurappa stated, "Gowda and his family had cheated the state and its people on several occasions for attaining their selfish political goals."
He also added, "But their tricks to unseat me will not fructify because it is not easy to deceive the BJP members."
All this statement came after Gowda and his party raised strong demand for the change of leadership in the state and for resignation of Yeddyurappa, who is allegedly involved in multi-crore land scam.

Maroon 5: Maps (Slaptop Remix)
Only three months in the wake of debuting his debut single, the infectious "Sunrise," Slaptop has set ablaze online with remixes for artists including Zhu and Jaymes Young. His latest venture, remixing Maroon 5's "Maps," is a sublime interpretation of the hit single. It's so impressive how Slaptop has established a signature sound in such a short time period with his production. Looking forward to more from this talented new artist to watch.
You can catch this single on the next WE FOUND NEW MUSIC podcast out soon.

As you may be aware, WPMU DEV is Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription-based business – always has been, always will. And what's the hardest thing about that? Metrics! Especially when, like many people, we moved from PayPal to Stripe and so have two completely different payment systems to manage.
2016 BC (Before ChartMogul)
Here's how we used to do metrics…
If you ever want to see a withering look on a developer's face, ask them to either completely change a payment and pricing system or come up with a bespoke internal stats package.
Yep, we've been pretty much running our own stats for the past, phew, seven years?
And they've been confusing, sometimes inaccurate, hard to maintain and, perhaps most of all, a massive drain on developer time… which would be better spent making awesome WordPress goods for you, dear reader.
So we decided to look for an alternative and found…
2016 AC (After ChartMogul)
It's hard to describe just how simple this tool makes a previously really, really complex task.
First up integration with PayPal and Stripe is *literally* one-click, and that means that without having to upload CSVs, ChartMogul just slurps up all the data and gives you some pretty cool information, like your Annual Run Rate…. all the way back to 2010 (and prior).
Now, I'm not just putting this here to demonstrate how wonderful I am. Well, maybe a bit, but not entiiiiirely for that purpose :)
But the main thing is that I can now get a simple view of the Annualized Run Rate (i.e. how much money you can expect to make in the next year) within seconds.
Along with simple comparisons to previous periods and all that jazz.
But that's just where all the fun begins.
Let's go through some features…
Enrich & Segment
But perhaps one of the coolest features available to ChartMogul users is the opportunity to segment and add in extra information about your members.
Essentially, the Data Enrichment features allow you to add additional information to your customers in ChartMogul via simple integrations with your favorite spreadsheet or service provider (hellloooo MailChimp!).
You can then segment your customers and perform analysis using this information.
Which means you can easily track things like customer lifetime value and churn rates based around specific cohorts.
It's. Amazing.
And yes, I know you can find a bunch on information in Google Analytics, but the real secrets here are all around Monthly Recurring Revenue, specifically that with the setup you can do things like determine the LTV of different lead sources (for example, organic vs email vs Facebook ads), see where people are most likely to churn (and try ways to sort that) and even determine the relative success of your different plans… all over a period of time, i.e. freed from simply looking at transactions.
So yeh, go give them a go! I can almost guarantee you'll be amazed at how quickly and effectively you'll be able to visualize mission critical data for your business. Sign up for a free trial now and when you're ready to hand over the cash (and you will be!) just pop in "wpmupromo2016" to save yourself $600 on your first year.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, there's absolutely no affiliate program at play here – we're simply promoting a great tool that we've found to you, dear readers, 'cos we were able to get such a great deal for you.
Happy Moguling :)

Reasons Against Going Grad/
I came across this older article titled "Seven reasons why grad school is outdated" by Penelope Trunk today. It's funny how I disagreed with the notion of the article when I read the title, but found myself seriously wavering at the end.
Keep in mind, though, that her reasons are more likely to be true for the US than for a certificate-loving country like Germany.

Bohemian Vintage Tea Tin Pendant with Teal Green Tassel
I adore vintage English tea tins, and have collected many over the years - intending to repurpose them in to jewelry. It's been difficult to take the tin shears to them, but I did it! This pendant is 3 1/2" long & 2" wide, and has been created from a piece of a floral tin with a black background and brightly hued retro flowers. A brushed brass semicircle has been riveted to the tin. Dangling beneath is a teal green cotton tassel. Pendant is 3 1/4" long. Strung on a 19" bright gold brass rolo chain with a lobster clasp closure.
PLEASE NOTE: Because these pieces are made from vintage tins, the metal surface may be uneven and/or have imperfections, tiny dings or scratches. To me, this is part of the piece's history. Please look carefully at the photos before purchasing so you know what imperfections exist, & so you are happy with your purchase!

Can I Get Fired over a Tweet? What NOT to Say on Social Media
In 1942— long before the advent of the Internet or social media— Thumper offered Bambi some sage advice: "if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." That advice still rings true today. When you post on social media, you may feel like you're just venting or sending a message to a bunch of your friends and family (especially if you are not one of those people who have several million followers). However, it's important to remember that there is nothing private about your online posts— even if you've activated the highest privacy settings. Any one of your "friends" could forward your post to someone— and even a time limited post (like a Snapchat) could be saved and transmitted by a third party via screenshot.

Hello Everyone!! Were you beginning to think we blew away with 2010? Nope, no such luck. We are like a couple of old pennies...we just keep turning up :D
I hope the newness of the new year is still with you and all is going well. Some bloggers took a little break during the holiday, but ours came after. I think our brains are ready to function again.
Our new year started out with a bang. First, my niece had an anniversary party for Pam and Leo. It was small and sweet. She, her sister and two brothers did a fine job. A post will be coming soon.
We have our first Casa Causpanic announcement. Yea!! We are in the process of completing the paperwork for a lease on our house. Woot! Woot! It is actually bittersweet for me, but Ol' Dawg is thrilled. So, the packing process will finally resume and I am hoping with all my heart we can make enough progress on the studio to be able to move in when the time comes...January 26th. Geez. I actually broke down and cried for a couple of minutes, but I'm good now...I think.
So, exciting things to come. Hope you will drop by to see all the changes or just to say "howdy!"

They started out with stolen glances and discreet peeks. But in
the last four minutes of their 20-9 defeat at Buffalo, the
Chiefs began brazenly eyeballing the Rich Stadium scoreboard,
hoping for a Jacksonville loss that would allow them to back
into the postseason. The JumboTron showed replays from the game.
There were shots of Bills fans celebrating their team's imminent
wild-card berth. There was a commercial in which Ronald McDonald
spiked a football. As if to tease the Kansas City bench, no
updates from Florida were forthcoming.
The original plan, of course, was for the Chiefs to make the
playoffs by winning the season finale. But this is how far they
had fallen: After their fourth loss in five weeks, they were
reduced to jogging off the field backward, asking anyone they
passed if they knew a score. It was one of the saddest scenes of
the season, and later in the locker room the gloom deepened when
the Chiefs heard that Jacksonville had held on to win 19-17.
Atlanta kicker Morten Andersen had missed a 30-yard chip shot
with four seconds to play. "This sucks," said linebacker Derrick
Thomas, who was still in uniform with his mouthpiece in, 25
minutes after the game. "Tomorrow will come, and it will suck.
And next week it will suck even more."
But even if the Chiefs had slipped into the playoffs, they might
have been better off declining the bid. K.C. is a shell of the
team billed in SI's 1996 NFL preview as the AFC favorite to face
Green Bay in the Super Bowl. On a cover shared with several
Packers stars stood Chiefs quarterback Steve Bono with running
back Marcus Allen in front of him, a ball tucked under his left
arm. Towering above them was five-time Pro Bowl defensive end
Neil Smith, who had averaged 12 1/2 sacks in the 1990s. An
earring and a Breathe Right nose strip made him seem an
invincible warrior.
On Sunday a feeble Smith made one tackle and ate more turf than
a groundhog to finish 1996 with 4 1/2 sacks, his lowest total
since he was a rookie in '88. Part of Smith's problem is that
his counterpart, right end Vaughn Booker, has been out since
Dec. 9 with a bum right ankle. Booker aggravated the injury when
he rolled out-of-bounds to make a tackle...and was stepped on by
a ball boy. That's a fitting image to sum up the 1996 defense,
which fell in the NFL rankings from second in '95 to 18th and,
against the Bills, gave up two touchdown passes in the fourth
"It's just the damnedest thing," says safety Mark Collins, who
came out of retirement to play another year with the Chiefs.
"Maybe I expected too much. And that hurts more than anything
else. This wasn't just a wake-up call, it was a wake-up call
from a nightmare for this franchise. Because if you are the G.M.
of this team, you have to make changes."
There are rumblings that the first move owner Lamar Hunt will
make is to fire G.M. Carl Peterson. Despite six straight playoff
appearances in the 1990s, he has no AFC championship ring and
remains unsigned for 1997. Whoever is in charge will need to
make a bid for a free-agent quarterback, an Elvis Grbac or a
Jeff George. It's a testament to the rest of the Chiefs, really,
that they won 22 games over the last two seasons with what
amounts to backup talent behind center. Benched in favor of Rich
Gannon in Week 5, Bono was forced back into action after Gannon
injured his hamstring on Dec. 15. The lowest-rated starter in
the AFC, Bono has said that he has not gotten over the demotion,
and he showed it on Sunday when he completed 14 of 28 passes for
138 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions.
Without a passing threat to worry about, the Bills focused on
the run, stopping the Chiefs nine times inside the 10-yard line
in the first half alone. The team that led the league in rushing
in 1995 and boasts Allen, a certain Hall of Famer, then ran for
just 16 yards after intermission. "We came out, like we have all
year, with momentum and confidence," said left tackle John Alt.
"But then, once again, everything just started to cave in on us,
and all those bad feelings and doubts crept back into the huddle."
Alt is 34. And Allen, 36, is several years removed from the days
when he could carry a team. For the second Sunday in a row he
had words with colleagues on the sidelines. In a 24-19 home loss
to the Colts, Allen threw his helmet and argued with coach Marty
Schottenheimer. During the loss to the Bills, he went nose to
nose with Bono and hinted afterward that he was considering
retirement. "Sooner or later," Allen said in a whisper, "I've
got to look at the inevitable."
Many of the Chiefs will be facing changes--sooner rather than
Minnesota quarterback Brad Johnson gets his playoff baptism
against a Dallas pass defense ranked second in the NFL. Vikings
coach Dennis Green, 0-3 in the postseason, will need clutch
catches from wideouts Cris Carter and Jake Reed, plus a turnover
or two, to upset the champs. The Cowboys have won their last six
playoff games at Texas Stadium.
Indianapolis, which has no ground game to speak of, will need
yet another precocious performance from rookie wideout Marvin
Harrison. Pittsburgh running back Jerome Bettis, who finished
second in the AFC in rushing (1,431 yards), should further
bruise an already banged-up Colts defense.
The last time these teams met, in San Francisco two years ago,
Philadelphia won 40-8. That day the 49ers' D was coordinated by
Ray Rhodes, who is now the Eagles' coach. He'll be hoping that
Philly can stuff quarterback Steve Young again and that Eagles
quarterback Ty Detmer holds up well in his first playoff start.
Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell, who has not been
intercepted in his last 119 passes, must avoid 1) errant throws
and 2) Buffalo defensive end Bruce Smith. If running back
Thurman Thomas (344 yards rushing in his last two home playoff
games) is feeling frisky, the Jaguars are doomed. The Bills are
9-0 in the postseason at Rich Stadium.
Hell hath no fury like a return man scorned. On Dec. 15, three
days after Michael Bates of Carolina was chosen as the NFC's Pro
Bowl kick returner, Green Bay's Desmond Howard brought back a
punt 92 yards for a touchdown at Detroit, then punctuated his
score by striking a Heisman Trophy pose in the end zone. "I
thought I was going to make the Pro Bowl," Howard says. "I was
kind of upset about that."
Howard last struck that pose as a senior wideout and kick
returner at Michigan, on his way to winning the 1991 Heisman.
After trading up to take him fourth in the '92 draft, the
Redskins signed Howard to a $5.9 million deal with a $2.8
million signing bonus--the most that they had ever spent on a
rookie. But in three years at Washington he had only 66 catches
and one punt return for a TD, while questions were raised about
his work ethic and toughness. In 1995 the Jaguars took Howard in
the expansion draft, but they released him after one season.
The Packers signed him to a one-year, $300,000 contract in July,
and they've used him almost exclusively on special teams. Howard
flourished in the role: He returned a team-record three punts
for TDs and, with 875 punt-return yards, obliterated the NFL
mark of 692 set by Fulton Walker in 1985. "The guys have such
faith in Desmond, they hold their blocks longer," says Green Bay
special teams coach Nolan Cromwell. "They know he can break one
at any time." --WILLIAM F. REED
Here are 10 free agents who not only didn't make Dr. Z's All-Pro
team but also figure to be far down on the Christmas lists of
the NFL teams who wasted precious money under the salary cap to
sign them. --Richard Deutsch
The Bottom of the 1996 Free-agent Class:
1. CB Larry Brown, Raiders (four years, $12 million) Super Bowl
XXX MVP never grasped Oakland's defense. One interception in '96.
2. DE Marco Coleman, Chargers (three years, $9.6 million) Had
only four sacks. What was general manager Bobby Beathard thinking?
3. OT Jumbo Elliott/David Williams, Jets (10 years, $27 million)
Consider them a package deal and, due to injuries and
inconsistency, a package blunder.
4. LB Michael Brooks, Lions (two years, $3.6 million) Supposed
to ease the loss of Chris Spielman to Buffalo. Cut after four
5. QB Neil O'Donnell, Jets (five years, $25 million) Ineffective
even when healthy, with seven interceptions and only four TDs in
six games.
6. DE Leslie O'Neal, Rams (three years, $9.5 million) With a
meager seven sacks, hyped pass rusher did little for pathetic
St. Louis defense.
7. LB Cornelius Bennett, Falcons (four years, $13.6 million)
Highest-paid Falcon in history never emerged as a leader on D.
8. CB Mark McMillian, Saints (three years, $5.1 million) Took 15
games to get first interception.
9. QB Steve Walsh, Rams (two years, $2 million) Quickly went
from rookie Tony Banks's mentor to rookie Tony Banks's backup.
10. DE Darren Mickell, Saints (three years, $5.1 million)
Suspended for four games for violating NFL's substance-abuse
Despite his carping about not getting enough carries, Eagles
running back Ricky Watters touched the ball 404 times this
season (353 rushes, 51 catches), the most in the NFL....In their
final four games the Jaguars threw no interceptions and were
penalized just 10 times; Jacksonville won all four games. The
Jaguars have the AFC's longest winning streak (five), while
their second-year brethren, the Panthers, have the NFC's longest
(seven)....Carolina and Denver, two of the three teams to go
unbeaten at home this year (Green Bay was the other), preserved
those unblemished records by turning away opponents who had
first-and-goal at the one-yard line in the final two minutes of
regulation. The Broncos held off the Bears in Week 11 to win
17-12, and the Panthers stopped the Steelers on Sunday, winning
18-14....The Redskins' Henry Ellard is the first wide receiver
to achieve consecutive 1,000-yard seasons after his 34th
birthday....In the Eagles' 29-19 win, second-year defensive end
Mike Mamula sacked Arizona quarterback Kent Graham on the game's
second play, scooped up Graham's fumble and ran four yards for a
touchdown. Philly is 9-0 when Mamula has a sack....The Packers
became the first team since the '72 Dolphins to lead the NFL in
both points scored (456) and fewest points allowed (210); Green
Bay gave up 19 TDs this season, the fewest since the schedule
was expanded to 16 games in 1978....The Redskins reported zero
no-shows for their final game at RFK Stadium. Washington won
37-10, tying its largest margin of victory over the rival
Cowboys....After Atlanta's Morten Andersen botched a 30-yard
field goal try, allowing the Jaguars to make the playoffs,
Jacksonville defensive tackle Don Davey said, "He gave us a real
nice Christmas present." He did indeed. Andersen's first miss
from 30 yards or closer in 59 tries will put at least $7,500
(the loser's share from a wild-card round) in the stocking of
each Jaguar. --JOHN WALTERS

I learned today of nobul, a new social enterprise that seeks to take a private equity approach to scaling businesses for community impact. The web site is new and promises more information soon. But I suspect they are going to be a social enterprise shining star with their soon to be announced leadership.
It's interesting how many people are starting or operating similar type of portfolios. The idea is one that we have played with ourselves at Belay over the last 16 years. But one thing I've noticed is that everyone wants to scale existing ventures. Very few portfolios are interested in assisting social enterprise start-ups where my passion lies.
Many see too much risk in that approach because of the high rate of start-up failure. Traditional venture capital uses stock options to overcome the risk of funding start-ups. One big success funds the nine other failures.
But in social enterprise, that windfall model often doesn't exist because of the non-profit structure of the start-ups or the lower levels of profits due to the social mission. I hope others will continue to experiment with ways to encourage and fund scalable domestic business as mission start-ups. Do you know of an organization with an innovative approach?
As for me, I like keeping my hands dirty in the day to day activities of operating faith venture employment training businesses. Our organization also is developing a faithventure fund to resource start-ups with a vision for employing individuals rebuilding lives from addiction, homelessness or prison.

Derek Loville
There is a strong case to be made that Derek Loville is the most successful career backup of all-time. Loville was never formally drafted by an NFL team following a fairly respectable college career at Oregon, but he did join the Seattle Seahawks in 1990. He would rotate in every now and then and performed well enough on occasion to justify a team picking him up to fill a roster spot. Those roster fill-ins led to Loville winning one championship with the 49ers and two with the Denver Broncos.
Loville enjoyed a quiet retirement until earlier this year when he was indicted as part an investigation involving a drug trafficking ring. Loville was apparently also involved in the ring's money laundering and illegal gambling and apparently would even intimidate their enemies by threatening to behead them.


text: Q: I'm finding tomatoes on my potato plants. Did I get some cross pollination?A: Every once in a while potatoes will actually produce a fruit on the upper portion of the plant. As you mentioned, they look very similar to small tomatoes. If you cut one of these open, you will find that the fruit does contain seeds. Some years back, one of the seed companies actually offered potato seeds through its catalog. Do not eat these fruits, as they are considered to be poisonous.Q: I have limbs on my pear trees that are dying all of a sudden. Any ideas?A: Fireblight is the most likely cause of your problem. To be certain, check the ends of the stems or twigs that are turning brown to see if they look something like a "shepherds crook." If they have this hooked appearance, fireblight is the answer. Fireblight is caused by bacteria within the tree. If there are only a few twigs showing it at this point, you could prune those out, making sure to dip your pruning sheers in a Clorox solution between cuts to kill any bacteria on them. If there are complete limbs that are dying, it is better to wait until after the trees go dormant to prune them out and burn or dispose of them to prevent the disease from carrying over into next year.Questions for this column can be mailed to Round Yard and Garden at 428 W.

Reliability and validity of the Parent Efficacy for Child Healthy Weight Behaviour (PECHWB) scale
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Source Title
Background Interventions for childhood overweight and obesity that target parents as the agents of change by increasing parent self-efficacy for facilitating their child's healthy weight behaviours require a reliable and valid tool to measure parent self-efficacy before and after interventions.Nelson and Davis developed the Parent Efficacy for Child Healthy Weight Behaviour (PECHWB) scale with good preliminary evidence of reliability and validity. The aim of this research was to provide further psychometric evidence from an independent Australian sample.Methods Data were provided by a convenience sample of 261 primary caregivers of children aged 4–17 years via an online survey. PECHWB scores were correlated with scores on other self-report measures of parenting efficacy and 2- to 4-week test–retest reliability of the PECHWB was assessed.Results The results of the study confirmed the four-factor structure of the PECHWB (Fat and Sugar, Sedentary Behaviours, Physical Activity, and Fruit and Vegetables) and provided strong evidence of internal consistency and test–retest reliability, as well as good evidence of convergent validity.Conclusion Future research should investigate the properties of the PECHWB in a sample of parents of overweight or obese children, including measures of child weight and actual child healthy weight behaviours to provide evidence of the concurrent and predictive validity of PECHWB scores.

Without further ado, here are 20 sunny baby girl names that you will instantly fall in love with!
20 Mae
Mae is a gorgeous name that is often overlooked with its reputation for being an older name. But sometimes "old" can also mean timeless! Mae is of French and English origin. In French, the name means "month of May" and English the name means "kinswoman". And interestingly enough, Mae is also sometimes used as a short form of the name Mary.
Mae is a great option if you're looking for a bright and cheerful name but one that is also on the unique side. Mae is currently ranked #1,063 on the baby name popularity charts, which is actually a decline in popularity from its #724 ranking in 2017.

When I think of the name Aya, I think of the time when the season changes from winter to spring and everything starts to bloom and grow.
Globally, Aya remains moderately popular holding steady at # 613 in baby name popularity for 2018 and also held # 524 and 2017. With its unique a cheerful tone, Aya is a wonderful option for parents who aren't afraid of a name with a dynamic flair for their little one.
18 Vivienne

Vivienne is a name with a lot of character and is a wonderful choice for an exuberant and excitable baby girl. Mildly popular, this name is on a steady rise and is ranked #210 in baby name popularity, which is a huge jump from the 320th position in 2017. This rise is thought to be the result of celebrity influence thanks to Brad, Angelina and their daughter Vivienne (among a few other celebs) increasing the popularity of the name.
17 Cerelia
Cerelia is an interesting name with a unique quality and tone. Cerelia is of Latin origin and means "spring". This means that this beautiful name can be representative of both the springtime as in the season or a spring where freshwater is found. This double meaning makes it a wonderful name choice for parents who are looking for something bright and cheerful but also earthy.
Cerelia is extremely unique, so unique in the fact that there aren't many stats globally on the name and less than five girls were born with the name in North America. This was surprising, given the beautiful sound this name has and makes it a wonderful option for parents who are looking for something very original but also with a feminine tone. Cerelia even has a variation: the name Cerella, which is also beautiful sounding and equally as unpopular. Bother are great choices for parents willing to think outside the box when it comes to a name choice for their new daughter.
16 Chloe
Chloe is another name that has a similar meeting to Cerelia but is worlds more popular. The name is ranked currently at #22 on the baby name popularity charts, which is comparable to its 2017 ranking where it held the 21st spot.

Chloe also has an added factor of being a common name in Greek mythology, making it mystical in nature and in tone. It was one of the many names given to the goddess Demeter, and a prominent name in the story of Daphnis and Chloe. Despite its popularity, Chloe remains to be a wonderful name with much magical intrigue, making it a beautiful choice for your new baby girl.

19 October 2017
Police, local authorities, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, young people and an MP have launched a campaign to stop criminal gangs from grooming children and vulnerable adults to commit crime.
The campaign, known as 'Trapped', aims to raise awareness of criminals who are grooming and exploiting children and young adults to commit crime on their behalf.
The number of children being sent to live in children's homes outside their own borough has soared despite a government pledge to clampdown on distant placements.
Ann Coffey, the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Missing Children and Adults, said the latest figures were 'bitterly disappointing' coming four years after the government said it would reduce the numbers.
A high proportion of children placed miles away from their home area go missing and are at risk of harm.
According to Parliamentary answers obtained by Ms Coffey from the Department for Education, there was a 56 per cent increase nationally in children placed in children's homes out of their borough from 2,250 in March 31, 2012 to 3,510 in March 31, 2016.
The total number of looked after children increased from 67,050 in March 2012 to 70,440 in March 2016. During the same period the number of children placed in children's homes increased from 4,890 to 5,940.

If there's one thing I've been able to rely on for years now, it's my horoscope. I am 100% a scorpio, there's absolutely no doubting that I fit the mold completely. About 5 years ago I started getting into astrology and trying to understand how it affects each of us. So, for the past 5 years I've checked my daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly horoscopes religiously – and they've always been pretty accurate. I'm not saying I take each one word-for-word, but the idea of each is pretty much on par with what's going on in my life at that time.
Until now.
For the first time in 5 years, my horoscopes can't help me. In a time where I'm really looking to "something greater", it's not giving me what I need. Even my psychic can't give me the answers I'm looking for. So now what?
I'm left constantly overthinking and overanalyzing situations, and hoping that things will work out how I want them to. I'm so used to knowing how the universe is influencing my life and what to expect from it and now I'm in the dark. Almost every situation I've been in, I've been able to look to astrology and understand how the planetary alignments affect my sign and the signs of those around me – but I just don't fit the explanations anymore.
To be a little more specific, my horoscopes lately are focusing on wealth and job opportunities. Each day it's a new outlook on how to manage my career, with no insight on the rest of my life. In a time of major confusion with everything in my life except my career, I feel like I can't relate to other scorpios anymore. It's a little dramatic, but this has been my go-to for 5 years.
I'm not saying I completely live based on my star sign and horoscope, but it makes feel a lot more secure to have a guideline and it provides some sort of explanation to the craziness of my life.
I like having something secure to look at, especially when I'm anxious about the situations I'm facing.
Have your horoscopes been off lately? Let me know in the comments – maybe I'm not the only one noticing this.

Self-made millionaire. Self-made business professional. Self-made this and self-made that, you see it everywhere because the lure of being able to be rich on your own sells! However, there is deception in that.
Self-made means putting in to action your ideas and plans to achieve personal professional or business goals. Somehow this term became synonymous with not needing another soul/person to make any of it possible. That is ridiculous! Even the wealthiest of the world need people and things (shaped by people caused phenomena) to allow for their success. The very act of planning involves taking in to consideration the actions of others (the stock market is dependent on people, so that means so are investors)- what will effect you for good and/or bad.
Don't misunderstand what is being said, you can indeed become successful by using your own gifts, talents and hard work, however, acknowledging the fact that your interaction with people (by whichever means you choose) is necessary for such success. No business blooms without investors, consumers or staff, even if it is a staff of one- you plus investor (bank or not) plus consumer or fan base- it all equals a network. To quote John Donne,
"No man is an island, entire of itself..."
The point is this, don't keep thinking you're all you have just because you've been let down by those you expected to support your vision or dream. Don't cut everyone off or assume that the most successful people "made it" on their own without help while you are struggling to just not drown. You are not a failure, you have just been shown part of the story, the truth is everyone has help. Sure sometimes your help comes from strangers, investors outside of your circle, etc. The key is to research your market, find your network and then utilize everything at your disposal (sometimes things are not at your disposal but they are at someone else's, so network and use those connections). Don't be discouraged.
Success is not self-made it is network-made- believe the hype!

The new Samsung Galaxy S10e is a phone that's as powerful, intelligent and intuitive as you are. Do more of what you love with Wireless PowerShare, an all-day intelligent battery* and a revolutionary Epic Shot camera that puts professional tools at your fingertips. A nearly bezel-free Cinematic Infinity Display gives you a crisp, uninterrupted view of your screen.
Retail Price: $749 for 128GB model.
All phones have been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies they use. However, there may be newer wireless technologies used that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of phones thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise.
M-Rating: The M-rating determines the Radio Frequency emissions level and signal quality of a phone. Phones with a higher M-rating have a lower RF emissions level and a higher signal quality.
T-Rating: A Telecoil is a small device built into some hearing aids that allow for a better experience when using a telephone or listening device. Not all hearing aids or listening devices have a Telecoil.
Telecoil is particularly useful for telephone communication because it permits the volume control of a hearing aid to be turned up without creating feedback or whistling. Background noise can be reduced, especially when using devices in noisy places.
Consult your service provider or the manufacturer for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
