Cheap and Fun Hostel Jun 02, 2011
The 11th Hour Cinema Hostel is a really cool hostel! It is located about 5 mins walk away from the shopping street Vaci utca. The staff are really friendly and helpful. There is free Wifi, and also they have three laptops you can use for free if you don't have one, they also have free linen! There is a kitchen you can use if needed, microwave, oven, fridge and freezer. There is a living room where you can choose from over 320 films that are projected onto the wall, it really makes you feel like you are in a real cinema. They have a luggage room if you need to keep your luggage there and next to the luggage room is a free table football game that you can play :)
Along the walls of the hostel inside are really cool pictures of celebrities. I stayed in a mixed dorm. The bed was comfy and they give you a locker with a little padlock for free if needed, there is also a fridge in the room.
Overall this hostel was brilliant, got so muxh useful information about the city from the staff! It is a really fun place!

Great Hostel Feb 23, 2009
This hostel was probably my favorite out of over 40 in Europe. It was very cheap, right off a metro stop. They had complimentary internet, popcorn, tea, coffee, around 100 dvd's to watch in a common room.

This place is fantastic. If i ever come to Budapest again, which i probably will, I will definatly stay there and nowhere else.
Unfortunalty I only stayed here for 2 nights I wished I stayed her longer but I had already booked my train :(
The location of it was actually alright. It wasn't right in the centre but to be honest if it was right in the centre it wouldn't have been so cheap but it was like a 3min walk to the centre anyway, so not a treck at all.
There was cleaners there every morning hovering, mopping, it was justreally clean. They also had a kitchen where obviously you can cook anything, free coffee, free internet, free films. There were loads of films, too many maybe to chose from, it was such a hard choice to pick a film because there were so many i wanted to watch :)

The 11.th Hour is a party Hostel with a good location in Budapest. Located only 100meters from the Astoria Metro Station.
The staff is excellent and when everybody is partied out they will put an projector on the table and everyone is watching movies. They will even make you popcorn!
Where going out 2 out of three days so the Fun factor is high. Around HUF 4000 a night in a dorm bed

Walgreens and Vitamin Angels Promote Wellness for At-Risk Children
Promising to donate 1 percent of participating brand retail sales through 2017, Walgreens wants to do its part to support the efforts of Vitamin Angels.
Having already raised $5.5 million to provide needed nutrients to more than 20 million children, Walgreens hopes to help children in almost 50 countries around the world, with both the United States and Canada on the list.
"We are proud to support Vitamin Angels in its journey to provide life-changing vitamins and minerals," said Robert Tompkins, health and wellness group vice president at Walgreens. "The impact that Walgreens and its customers can make to help minimize ailments related to the lack of essential nutrients, will improve millions of peoples' lives."
Vitamin Angel President Howard Schiffer, who founded the non-profit, said reaching children and other at risk populations with essential vitamins and minerals is critical to giving them the opportunity to survive, thrive and reach their full potential.
"We are thankful for the support from Walgreens, its vendor participants, and most of all, its customers for their commitment and contributions to our work," he said.

Google's prude curtain wrapped around Lively
Lively, the latest experiment from Google Labs, is yet another part of cyberspace where the Mountain View search company has decided that exploring sexuality is officially verboten. The 3D virtual world is Web-friendly, but sex-hostile. The no-sex-please-we're-Googlers policy began with Web search, where, by default, the company's SafeSearch filters which block explicit content are turned on for all users. Then came YouTube, where the company refuses to manually police for copyright infringement but employs a staff to keep women's nipples from ever appearing. And now Lively, where the community standards state:
We don't allow nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. This includes making sexual advances toward other users.
Of course, how exactly to you define "nudity" when you're talking about animated avatars? Of course, you can hug all you want, but drawing the line between friendly embrace and creepy come-on is not something that can be algorithmically determined. It's obvious that the company is desperate to avoid any publicity that associates it with anything related to sex. Which is a shame, because if there's anything more "mainstream" than the sexual reproduction which perpetuates our species, I'd like to know what it is.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Black (10/15/09)
TITLE: A New Hobby
By Marie Fink
Hiking to the entrance was beautiful. The sun was warm against my face and my eyes were sheltered with the nearest pair of sunglasses I could find before dashing out the door too early that morning. I drank deeply of the fresh air and enjoyed the surroundings of palo verdes, chollas, barrel cacti and other desert flora I have never learned to identify, mixed in with swaying trees and evergreens. Strutting with a purpose I occasionally looked to the ground for sure footing and snake sightings. While I am intrigued by these slithering creatures, I am also irrationally afraid of them.
What was really a short hike seemed like hours as I was anxious to reach the entrance and get started. My friend was eager to share his hobby and his zeal for it is quite contagious. We'd been trying to get together for this adventure for a couple of months and couldn't synch our busy schedules.
Fitting into the entryway was the first obstacle in my mind, but Charlie just hit the dirt and disappeared before my eyes. I put my shades in my pocket and followed. 'Whoa,' I couldn't see a thing. Charlie told me that my pupils would adjust soon, but I was thinking, 'Hurry up.' Instantly, I wanted to back out before the trek even began, but I didn't want to disappoint my friend or admit to any fear.
Bits and pieces of dirt fell, hitting our brims, lips, then the earthen floor. The air was moist and what my grandmother called, 'close;' humid and sticky. As we crept along the grimy terrain there were times we had to actually get on our bellies, the clay ceiling was so low. The mixture of dirt, water, and debris of all sorts, has its own distinct scent. There is something about it that is moldy, yet fresh at the same time.
About twenty minutes after our journey began Charlie asked, "Do you hear that?" Before I could answer he snapped quietly, "Shh…There it is again." Apparently, moments like these are every caver's dream. There is great excitement that swells in the heart, literally and figuratively, at the prospect of a new discovery, a bigger whole in the earth; a mixture of water, air, and minerals to create fantastic formations of another world.
Twenty more feet and we were in a larger opening. The ceiling was higher by about 10 feet at least. I could tell this was exciting and amazing by Charlie's hushed, "Wow!" and, "Amazing!" and "Wow!" again. We slowly and cautiously stood up. Pupils adjusted, we could see for several yards or more. The sight before us was awesome and gave us pause to praise the Creator! Pools of muddy water were sparkling with circular movements. Our eyes traveled upward to this majestic ceiling to follow the droplets causing these incredible rings. Our eyes met the water as we tracked the droplets, but from where they were dripping was the most intriguing sight of the day. Sparkling, slender, slinky, soda straws! There were dozens, not to exaggerate, and maybe hundreds, at the risk of overstating.
We sat in peaceful sweet silence for at least a half an hour. Our minds could scarcely take in the beauty in which we were surrounded. Much to our chagrin our gazes were startled by flickering flashlights. We began our day without fresh batteries. Reluctantly we scrambled to the narrow passageway from which we came, and then much to our dismay total darkness descended upon us. There was dead silence but for our beating hearts, and complete and utter blackness. Before time, before form, there was absolute nothing, except Him.
We were able to feel our way back through the familiar route. Rays of sunshine streaming on our cheeks helped the upper world come into view. Without having to say a word, my friend knew that I would be back for more underground exploration.

Hello everyone!
I'm working on a project for work and I need to spoof the HTTP_REFERER when posting a (client side) form from a web server.
Sorry for asking a lame question! I've spent days reading articles (including here), looking through books, and scanning the internet for anything I could find on this and have come up almost empty handed.
First, can this be done client side? Or should I try using Curl to pull this off?
I'm currently trying to use header() but I keep getting:
Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at blah blah blah)
I keep reading that it has to be done before any output is done, and before any 'whitespace' but no matter where I seem to put it, I get the same warning message!
If it helps, I'm also using echo.
I'm currently running Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.20 (Mandrake Linux/3mdk) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.0.6.
If someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it! :)

And then my other couple, the issue is not getting them together, the issue is getting them to not jump in bed together so quickly we don't see them for the blur (Anhelia and her eventual love interest).
lol! i can just see that. looking forward to it! XD
yeah, my girl is normally very much a go-getter, she even worked as one of those communist seductress against things, that seduce secrets out of state enemy men, but somehow when it comes to this guy she has nothing but excuses. i think its because everyone expects her to try and seduce him, and that arks her up. so she's stuck with a guy thats too hung up and inhibited to make the first move (besides which he's still a bit wary of her being a communist), and she's determined not to come off as slutty, and... yeah, i should quit harping. Just have to find a situation where his lust will overcome his brakes XD, and that doesn't seem too manufactured.
I tried having her come back from the dead to shock him into action, and he still managed to back out of it. I think he was too shocked XD Now he's trying to send her to Vladivostok. I managed to get him to agree to giving her a weeks stay. So. they've got a week.

Sometimes a time limit will do the trick -- the thought of "If I make excuses any longer, I'll miss my chance forever" ...
In my first draft of what will now be book 2, Anhelia and her girlfriend Soot are in bed together within about five chapters and moved in together in about two chapters more. I swear, that's practically fantasy-world equivalent of the lesbian joke about the second date being the U-Haul. I'm wondering whether I should slow things up a little there. Of course, they have the madly-in-love problem of only then having to work out all their issues, and boy are there issues.4/14/2010 #302
looking forward to reading it! sometimes it seems fast paced in the telling, but in the reading of it, it just fits.
Sometimes a time limit will do the trick -- the thought of "If I make excuses any longer, I'll miss my chance forever" ...
hmm, of course, from his point of view, thats exactly what he's aiming for, missing his chance that is. at least, part of him is. The time limit has work for her, in a sense, in that it has made her face up to the issue, but law it takes two to tango, and he's such a bloody fart. alright, i will stop ranting and do my darn statistics! XD4/14/2010 #303
|Matthew J. Brown
Well, there is always alcohol, if you have to — the old favorite inhibition-breaker. A bit of a cop-out, though.4/14/2010 #304
Well thats exactly it. i'll take a cop out if thats all i can come up with, but... :/ He does use a fair bit of morphine... maybe he can be a bit 'altered' on that... gar.
Poo, my last stats didn't work. hmmm... oh i know!4/14/2010 . Edited 4/14/2010 #305
|Matthew J. Brown
It's a good thing my Anhelia and Soot don't need that, because neither of them is capable of drinking alcohol, one being undead, the other being an artificial person.4/14/2010 #306
heh heh they'd have to find a real way out of the dilemna - lucky they are both gogetters then ;)!4/14/2010 #307
|Matthew J. Brown
Definitely. I think they're too stubborn to be arm-twisted into things anyway ...4/14/2010 #308
Can we gripe about writer's block here?
I feel like it's relevant since it is blocking my progress on anything I actively try to think about, like my unfinished stories. And yet I can ramble on about anything else that comes into my head!
Does anyone have any good challenge websites, links to blogs, or tips to overcomming this kind of thing?4/21/2010 #309
|Matthew J. Brown
Old advice but good: don't stare at the blank sheet of paper or empty word-processor file. Anything's better than that.
Try and work out if you know why you're blocking. For example, stressful circumstances, etc. Beware about looking too hard for an excuse, though.
Try changing up your circumstances. Is it just too full of distractions at home? Have you tried writing by hand instead of a computer, or the reverse? Have you tried going to coffee-shops to write, or sitting in the park, or ...?
Write something not intended for your stories you have currently going. Drop some of your favorite characters in a silly or stressful situation and just play with them. You're not interested in publishing this, so don't sweat it; let them talk, let them be silly, let the prose be embarrassing if it so chooses.4/21/2010 #310
Thanks Matthew, I'll have a try of that character thing, never thought of doing something like that.
And I know what's wrong, I've recently had a very traumatic experience and I'm ignoring it so I can function. I remember reading the nanowrimo guy, Chris I think his name is, saying about how you should go for a walk and think about your writing, so maybe I'll try that as well!4/21/2010 #311
Old advice but good: don't stare at the blank sheet of paper or empty word-processor file. Anything's better than that.
XD, I disagree!
Try to write something every night, even if it's something irrelevant and you ramble on an on, something might come out of it. And sitting in front of a blank document is at least thinking about something--I sit for hours and only write a sentence on INSIWB some times (that's really my problem recently too).
Then again I'm one of those writers who has decided not to believe in writer's block. There's always some sort of rambling thing that can be written down. Walks work for me though--actually driving. I daydream about my stories a lot when I drive with music :)4/21/2010 #312
|Matthew J. Brown
All advice for this is personal, of course — I just find that staring at blankness is incredibly uninspiring when stuck. Better to fill it with anything, yes — it doesn't have to be good, writing is better than not-writing. Not every day will you be up to writing masterpieces, but writing is at least keeping those mental muscles exercising.4/21/2010 #313
|Matthew J. Brown
I get all my best ideas for my fiction when driving, or in the shower, or before I go to sleep or when waking up, or on walks — that's when the plot connections pop up.4/21/2010 #314
Then again I'm one of those writers who has decided not to believe in writer's block.
Woo that's so righteous I love it. The rambly stuff I'm okay with, it's easy, even though most of the time what you're writing is awul there's value in the act of writing, yeah? And instead of staring at a blank page I write other things, I blog a lot, or read something.
It's just these ongoing threads of ideas, I can't pick them up and put them together.4/21/2010 #315
It's just these ongoing threads of ideas, I can't pick them up and put them together.
That's what's been especially challenging for me with INSIWB in these next two chapters I'm trying to write. I knew where I wanted to go--but Jude's been giving me much difficulty that I hadn't reckoned for when I'd started the story.
I figured out it's because I ran into a vampire problem that I've never had before. Since I handle the vampires in VATR as ones who don't kill when they drink blood, there was less of a creepy "I'm-over-come-with-blood-lust-and-will-now-have-to-kill-you" trope with Caleb's romancing of Penny...
But with Jude, ah yikes, I'm dancing a VERY fine line of non-creepy honest romance...and it's been taking me ages to work out the balance.
So I know where I want to go, but I don't want Mr. Edwin Cullard's creepy--OK yeah let's face it I would never consider dating Jude either...XD Awwwww crap. I wrote him even more unstable than...ughhh...OK, I talked myself into an epiphany...XD, THANK YOU GLOBE!4/21/2010 #316
Haha I'm going to take credit for that.
You're welcome :D
I love and adore Caleb, btw. Oh and I saw a book today called Jude The Obscure by Hardy, I think, and immediately I thought yay Jude! I think it was called Jude the Obscure. Hmm.4/21/2010 #317
|Matthew J. Brown
My middle name is Jude -- I've always wondered which fictional Jude I was named after, but my parents aren't telling. Probably the Beatles.4/21/2010 #318
Probably the Beatles.
I've always like the name Jude but in my story, when I ran out of names for Jude's brother and sister, I named them after the Beatles too, XD--Elanor and Maxwell.
Awesome lack of creativity, but I've recently been told that women have none...so...
Heck, he must have really got on your nerves!
We should get our torches, and pitchforks... or not. Anyway, wrong topic.
I pinch names from stories and music all the time. Nothing is original, anyways. At least... I think.4/22/2010 #320
well, if you have a really original name, its too weird for people to relate to. an obscure copied name is hence good... like jude... the obscure... XD teh movie was good (i really should read the book, i know. i think i started it, but it was even more depressing than teh movie)
hi yall!4/23/2010 #321
and yeah, i second walking for plot knots etc. cept you have to go with a pen and paper else your receipts get covered in gibberish4/23/2010 #322
|Matthew J. Brown
you have to go with a pen and paper else your receipts get covered in gibberish
Exactly! And it's really embarrassing when you can't make head nor tail of your own scrawl.4/23/2010 #323
Haha I have so much to learn.
I have a notebook but I'm too scared to take it anywhere in case I loose it. That would be bad.4/23/2010 #324
I stick to computer, I can never get my thoughts down fast enough for paper and pen, I never feel like I'm being detailed enough.
I used to be able to do poetry on paper and pen, but I don't even do that anymore -_-
Speaking of which, I need to crank out another few poems for this months poetry slam! Bah, I'm swamped with creative-writing this week!4/23/2010 #325
heh, obscure copied names are pretty much all I ever use XD4/23/2010 #326

I usually stick to names of people I know, mixed in with names that I just like.4/23/2010 #327
I usually stick to names of people I know, mixed in with names that I just like.
There are so many people whose names I borrow...I think I have a million John and Joe's ready to die on the front lines, XD, always based on my friends Joe and John, haha4/23/2010 #328
Yeah, names of people you know are readily available, means you don't have to think about it too much. Which is great!4/23/2010 #329
i dunno, i always think they're gonna think that i stole their soul or something for my fiction: "is that what you really think of me? What EXACTLY is it about that character that meant it needed to be named after me?" i don't wanna go down that path so i try and avoid the names of people I know, unless i know a fair few people of that name, so its not so excruciatingly 'theirs'. teh phone book is fair game though, i get stuck in such a rut with last names :)4/23/2010 #330

The nation may be in better economic shape, but that doesn't mean Americans' paychecks are.
Median annual household income has fallen 4.4% to $52,098 in the four years since the economic recovery began.
Black Americans took the biggest income hit since the Great Recession ended.
Median household income for blacks dropped by more than $4,000 to $33,519. Whites, on the other hand, saw their median income slip just over $2,000 to $58,000.
Married couples and single women, meanwhile, have fared better than single mothers and men living alone.
And those who are starting and those nearing the end of their careers have also taken big income hits, while senior citizens saw their incomes climb.
The construction industry and state and local governments are among the biggest drags on the nation's economic recovery, President Obama said Wednesday.
If those two sectors were recovering as they have in previous recessions, the unemployment rate would be in the 6% range, the president told a group of digital journalists gathered at the White House.
If these areas were to have a similar rebound now, each one would take a point MORETami Luhby - Apr 4, 2012 7:20 PM ET
They're moving on up.
The number of millionaire households rose by 200,000 to hit 8.2 million in 2011, according to new research by the Spectrem Group. These folks had at least a million dollars in assets, not including their primary residence.
Though their ranks have been expanding for three straight years, there are still fewer millionaires in the U.S. than there were before the Great Recession. In 2007, millionaires numbered 9.2 million.

Hispanics experienced only a 2.4% loss in employment during the Great Recession, followed by a 6.5% gain during the recovery, according to a new report from the Pew Hispanic Center.
Asians had a similar experience, with a 2.8% job loss and a 6.8% MORETami Luhby - Mar 21, 2012 11:05 AM ET

Sick Again, More like O-nonnie againSeptember 15th, 2008 , by Melissa
I now have a very bad cold, bordering on larengitis and ear infections. Rats. I think the antibiotics for strep and UTI did nothing for my overall immunity. Now I need to rebuild. I'm going somewhat back on the O-nonsecretor diet for now. I may have to cut out dairy almost entirely. If I followed the serving suggestions and avoided the toxins, it would probably work out fine. However, just a little casein triggers some major cravings for more. I may just have to be a gluten-free, casein-free and oat-free gatherer. I still haven't run swami on myself (or gotten genotype swami), but for a lectin-sensitive gatherer, some changes would probably show up there. Giving up the oats and dairy may make me return more to O-non permanently. I found some superfoods for gatherers that I absolutely love, so if they're neutral or beter (and GFCF) then I'll continue enjoying those regularly, and I'll keep cutting back on the high glycemic gatherer toxins or black dots, even if they're neutral or better for O-nons. That may be restrictive, but lately I haven't had much appetite and have to force myself to eat anything, so no biggie right now.
I did test positive (through enterolabs) for casein intolerance, but figured it was worth trying for a while, now I may have to finally accept my casein intolerance. No more denial. Certainly eating it every day may not have served me well. There's no denying that we're all individuals, and tweaks are necessary even to the most individualized diets.
Aside from cutting out dairy for at least the month to see the results, I'm also taking NAPs immunity pack. The redoxa seems to work better than Mucinex for breaking up the mucus, and the proberry seems to be helping this time around.
Kicking AgainAugust 28th, 2008 , by Melissa
I almost didn't get up and go to Taekwondo today, I turned off my alarm when one of my kids woke me up at 3 am. I still happened to wake up, and couldn't quiet my mind again, so I got up and loaded the kids in the car, with smoothies in hand, and we made it. I was afraid I'd still be too weak, but we mostly worked on technique (rather than core-strengthening torture), so it worked out well. I did have to put my knees down a little sooner than usual when we did a little core strengthening of holding a pushup position, but overall it was good.
My son also went to his class after mine, and did much better than he has for a while. Ever since the hornet incident he's more inclined to be in fantasy than reality, and has had trouble focusing. He's also worried about his first loose tooth and starting kindergarten next week. The other problem he's had lately was that when I was sick I let him play xbox as much as he wanted...not good for getting back into reality.
I still have a couple sore spots in my throat, so I've been making lots of egg drop seaweed soup http://www.dadamo.com/typebase4/recipedepictor7x.cgi?1049. It's very soothing and nourishing. I like to make it hot and sour.
Smoothies and workouts (gatherer)August 24th, 2008 , by Melissa
Smoothies are on my mind today. My throat is still so sore that I can hardly handle solid food. My body feels much better and I got a good night's sleep last night, but I feel like my throat is attempting to do a spontaneous tonsillectomy.
Before taekwondo I usually just feel like having a smoothie for breakfast. Apricots, almond butter, rice bran and rice milk (with a little veggie glycerine) make for a satisfying smoothie. My kids don't like the texture of it, but that leaves more for me. Today I didn't feel like almond butter either, with my throat, so I used 3 frozen apricots, about 5 frozen cranberries, rice milk, v.glycerine, cinnamon and a mild cottage cheese. I'd prefer ricotta, it's smoother, but I only had cottage cheese. It was tangy and good. I think I'll call it my Thanksgiving smoothie.
I often have a simple green tea smoothie, as an energy drink, though it doesn't have quite as much substance: ice cubes, powdered green tea, v.glycerine, and rice milk. Ricotta works well in it too, but cottage cheese might be too tangy for this one.
I found a new organic energy drink that is sweetened with agave nectar. I don't see much use for pre-packaged energy drinks in my life, but it's nice to see improvements in them. When my workouts are never more than and hour, I have plenty of time to make a smoothie beforehand and eat a meal afterward. I do sweat plenty in that hour, so I may consider adding a little sea salt in there somewhere, though I have developed such a taste for salt, that I probably get enough.
After taekwondo I always shower and sit in my infrared sauna, to reduce sore muscles. Hmm, maybe I should add a pinch of sea salt to the water I drink for sauna-ing.
Compliant Chocolate fix forTrail mixJuly 10th, 2008 , by Melissa
For my trip last month I bought some raw power berry trail mix (Navita, I think). It was expensive, but better than the toxins I would have eaten without it. It had dried goji berries, dried mulberries (not rated, but more tasty than I expected), dried aztec berries (not rated on the diet, and not my favorite), cashews, and cocoa nibs. I pawned off the cashews to my family for the most part.
What excited me about this was how good the cocoa nibs are in a trail mix! They work really well, with no sugar or other toxins, like chocolate chips have, and they won't melt in the heat. I don't like them by themselves, but when eaten with a handful of slightly sweet dried fruit, they really hit the spot. Their crunch is also a nice contrast to chewy dried fruit.
If you make your own trail mix (and chocolate is allowed for your type), try it with cocoa nibs. You can easily crush the whole cocoa beans into nibs, if needed. I've since made it with just goji berries, pecans, and cocoa nibs. Even though it's not a chocolate bar, it really satisfies.
Turkey MeatloafJuly 7th, 2008 , by Melissa
I had planned to make Turkey Meatloaf last week, but was intimidated by the idea. My egg-free beef meatloaf is nothing to shout about, so how could a turkey meatloaf be any better (my son is allergic to eggs). I found a recipe at epicurious that I could adapt to use up some of the ingredients I needed to use up in my refrigerator, so I went for it.
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic (I only had dried garlic, which I crushed and added in with the carrots)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/8-inch dice (gatherer black dot, could sub zucchini or perhaps bell peppers depending on type)
3/4 lb cremini mushrooms, trimmed and very finely chopped in a food processor (I only had button mushrooms, but I think cremini are neutral for more types)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (I used crushed onion seeds instead)
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (I used 1/2 tsp marmite + 1 teaspoon ume plum vinegar + 1/4 tsp seaweed flakes)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (I had none, so left it out)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon ketchup (Organicville, or homemade)
1 cup fine fresh bread crumbs (from 2 slices firm white sandwich bread) I used rice bread, full of gatherer black dots and toxins, but for a GF bread it worked well...will think of a better substitute next time
1/3 cup 1% milk (rice milk)
1 whole large egg, lightly beaten + 1 large egg white, lightly beaten (I used 1/4 cup boiling water and 2 T flax meal, let sit to gel)
1 1/4 lb ground turkey (mix of dark and light meat)
"Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook onion and garlic in oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened, about 2 minutes. Add carrot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid mushrooms give off is evaporated and they are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and 3 tablespoons ketchup, then transfer vegetables to a large bowl and cool.
Stir together bread crumbs and milk in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg and egg white, then add to vegetables. Add turkey and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to vegetable mixture and mix well with your hands. (Mixture will be very moist.)
Form into a 9- by 5-inch oval loaf in a lightly oiled 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan and brush meatloaf evenly with remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup. Bake in middle of oven until thermometer inserted into meatloaf registers 170°F, 50 to 55 minutes.
Let meatloaf stand 5 minutes before serving."
I thought the worchestershire substitute worked out well, though I'm no worchestershire connoisseur. My husband and 2 year old loved the results. It was lot of work, but worth it. It will be easier the next time around.

Frustrated Swiss Stress Cooperation in Cases Like Credit Suisse
External Content
The following content is sourced from external partners. We cannot guarantee that it is suitable for the visually or hearing impaired.
(Bloomberg) -- Swiss authorities should be involved as early as possible in "huge" cases such as the investigation into alleged tax evasion by clients of Credit Suisse Group AG, the country's attorney-general said, elaborating on comments last week expressing frustration that he did not know in advance about raids on the bank's offices.
While "we have great cooperation with Eurojust member states," the whole investigation "could have been handled in a different manner," Michael Lauber told reporters Wednesday in the Swiss capital Bern. Eurojust is the European Union's judicial cooperation unit.
Lauber was speaking a day after the country's financial regulator, Mark Branson, said he learned of the March 30 raids from the Zurich-based bank. The probe, which is examining possible tax evasion by Credit Suisse clients in the Netherlands, France, Germany, the U.K. and Australia, has left Swiss authorities playing catch-up and raised fresh questions as to whether the country's banks have done enough to clean up their act.
The attorney general's office said on March 31 that it was "astonished" that it was not informed of the raids coordinated by Eurojust before they happened. It called the decision a breach of international protocol.
Lauber said it's too early to comment further on details of the probe. He said he's in touch with the Dutch authorities to learn more about the investigation.
"I'm sure we will find a way to work this out with the Dutch," he said.
The number of foreign assistance requests to the Swiss prosecutor's office jumped to 193 last year from 145 in 2015 as more foreign prosecutors reached out for help with their own investigations into money-laundering, corruption and other white-collar crimes, according to its annual report released Wednesday.
These include the Brazilian probe into the "Carwash" bribery scandal, in which Swiss banks were allegedly used to funnel bribes to officials at state-owned oil producer Petroleo Brasileiro SA.

Did you read the parameters of scoring your school? I'd suggest you do so, and soon.
For instance, how can you score your school a 10 in aliveness when you don't have a fight team?Originally Posted by Sifu Rudy Abel

It is says on their website they have "Pro/MMA" classes. How can they not have a fight team? Who are the instructors? I can't find any listing on the website. You need to re-evaluate your review.安氏八极拳学生

It took me all of two seconds to find the page with their instructors:
There are some references to "Team White Tiger MMA" so they at least claim a fight team (unless it's a pork bun-eating team or something).
Note: none of the above should be taken as a defense of a "10" score in aliveness or anything of the other scores. I know nothing of school; I'm just clever enough to click "About Us" when I want to learn, you know, ABOUT a school.

Workshop Details
Final Meeting Report (Rev. 1.0)
Meeting Presentations
Final Meeting Agenda
Information on Fellowships (see meeting invitation letter)
Event Description
Our societies are increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies (ICT) networked around the globe. These networks are responsible for a growing share of national wealth, and they provide potential for greater prosperity. However, threats have emerged that can seriously damage critical network infrastructures. To address these threats and protect these infrastructures, each country needs a comprehensive action plan that addresses technical, legal and policy issues, combined with regional and international cooperation.
In Resolution 130 (Antalya, 2006), ITU was requested to give high priority to building confidence and security in the use of information and communication technologies.
This workshop, one in a series of regional events jointly organized by ITU-D and ITU-T, aimed to:
Furthermore, Plenipotentiary Conference 2006 Resolution 123 and outcomes from the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly, Florianópolis, 2004 (WTSA-04 ) and World Telecommunication Development Conference, Doha, 2006 (WTDC-06) requested the Sectors to undertake initiatives to bridge the standardization gap between developed and developing countries and strengthen the collaboration between ITU-T and ITU-D respectively.
This workshop responded to this request as it provided a review of ITU-T Recommendations and activities relating to cybersecurity and informs participants on related ITU-D Study Group activities.
The workshop was targeted at policy makers / regulators / service providers / operators, who are or would be involved in setting up or are implementing related frameworks in their country. It will benefit:

Cambodia's national carrier has launched a new phase of expansion that will see it add new routes to Vietnam and Thailand.
Earlier this week, Cambodia Angkor Air launched a new direct service between Phnom Penh and Hanoi. The flights, which commenced on 1 January 2013, will now operate daily using a two-class Airbus A321 aircraft. Then from Monday 7 January, the airline will increase the number of flights it offers between Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) from three to four times a day, as well as upgrading its Phnom Penh-HCMC route from a 67-seat ATR72-500 turboprop aircraft to the 184-seat A321. Also this month, Cambodia Angkor Air will increase the frequency of its Siem Reap-Phnom Penh flights to five flights per day.
Then on 1 February 2013, the national carrier will commence daily flights between Phnom Penh and Bangkok, using its A321 aircraft. The route will be the airline's second to the Thai capital, following the launch of Siem Reap-Bangkok services late last year.
Cambodia Angkor Air is the latest incarnation of Cambodia's national carrier, and was launched in 2009 following significant backing from Vietnam Airlines, which partly owns the carrier along with the Cambodian government. All of its six aircraft (four A321s and two ATR72s) are leased from Vietnam Airlines.
Having become only the second airline operating the Siem Reap-Bangkok, in direct competition with Bangkok Airways, Cambodia Angkor Air will now go head-to-head with AirAsia on the Phnom Penh-Bangkok sector. It is also the only airline offering flights to the Cambodian coast, with services between Siem Reap and Sihanoukville.

Project Analyzing Impact Of Space Weather On Satellites Gets NASA Grants
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports — Your Universe Online
The University of Central Florida (UCF) has received a $55 million grant from NASA toward the development and operation of an instrument that will investigate the impact of space weather on orbiting communication and navigation satellites, the Orlando-based institution announced Friday.The mission is known as the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) project, and it will monitor Earth´s upper atmosphere from a geostationary orbit approximately 22,000 miles above the planet´s surface.
It is expected to collect information to enhance our understanding of how solar wind and geomagnetic storms can alter the atmosphere´s temperature and composition and disrupt satellites responsible for GPS, cellphone, and television broadcast signals. The GOLD mission could also provide information leading to safer airline traffic direction because of its analysis of how space elements affect communication signals.
UCF, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado, and McLean, Virginia commercial satellite company SES Government Solutions are collaborating on the project. UCF will oversee the project and will also construct the data center where all of the mission information will be collected, processed and distributed.
"It´s great to see something that my team and I have worked on for years selected for funding," Richard Eastes, principle investigator for the GOLD mission, said in a statement. "It shows that other scientists think what we´re planning to do is some of the most important science in the world. And for UCF, it´s a chance to demonstrate that the university can play a more significant role in space research.
"It´s clear that NASA is interested in flying more instruments on commercial satellites. With today´s budgets, most science missions that need a geostationary orbit aren´t affordable unless they fly on a commercial satellite," Eastes, who is also a research scientist with UCF´s Florida Space Institute, added.
LASP, who will build and help operate the instrument used for the mission, received $36 million in NASA grants for their work on the GOLD project, the Boulder, Colorado-based institution reported on Friday.
The instrument is known as an imaging spectrograph and is approximately the same size as a microwave oven. It weighs just about 60 pounds and is two feet in length, one foot in height and one foot in width, according to LASP officials. The imaging spectrograph will be launched into space as the payload for a communications satellite by SES.
LASP aerospace engineer Mark Lankton said his team "is extremely pleased to be working on this mission with Richard Eastes at the University of Central Florida, who we have been collaborating with for seven years. This mission is one of the first to involve a science instrument being launched on a communication satellite, which is a terrific idea and exactly the right way to run a quality mission on a smaller budget."
"GOLD´s imaging represents a new paradigm for observing the boundary between Earth and space. It will revolutionize our understanding of how the sun and the space environment affect our upper atmosphere," said Bill McClintock, the deputy principal investigator on the spectrograph and a senior research scientist at LASP.
Lankton added the mission will be focused primarily on the ionosphere and thermosphere (approximately 50 miles to 350 miles above Earth), and specifically on how those layers of upper atmosphere are impacted by the sun, as well as by atmospheric waves and tides from the planet´s lower atmosphere.

Scott Kazmir Dominant in First Victory with Sugar Land SkeetersSeptember 2, 2012
5,764 fans witnessed something special on Wednesday night.
It's been a long time since we could say it, but Scott Kazmir got that elusive victory he's been looking for.
Facing the Bridgeport Bluefish for the third time this year, Kazmir finally got his win and hopefully silenced some of the critics that have written him off.
In what was his most dominant performance in years, Kazmir held the Bluefish to one run and two hits over eight innings. What is even more impressive is the one walk to go along with three strikeouts.
Kazmir's stay in Sugar Land has been anything but pretty, but there has been an obvious improvement in his numbers. Sure, there have been some awful outings, including an eight-walk performance a couple starts back, but he continues to get on the rubber and strive for improvement.
With the end of the MLB season nearing, there are going to be some teams looking for that extra starter or that extra reliever for the stretch run they're about to embark on. If he continues on this path, we may see Kazmir back in the Show sooner than later.
One win in an Independent league may not seem like much, but to many, this could be one of the biggest wins of Kazmir's career.

We've asked you to share your plans to help the planet on Earth Day. We'd like to thank everyone who sent in inspiring ideas. Your efforts and commitment towards our planet is remarkable! Read the top 5 winning submissions sent to us over the past week.
Well, here in New York, we have a lot of litter, out on the streets, the parks, the beaches, and the subway stations. My friends and I, we are planning on going out there after school with our school group, called Global Kids Organization, and clean up. A lot of us already recycle, and instead of me using hot water for an hour, I can reduce my showering time, and make sure I have all of the lights off, when my family and I leave the house. Trying to keep the Earth healthy! just like me!
Well on Earth Day I will be gardening because I like to plant vegetables and trees to help society. I'm also making craft houses for birds so they can have somewhere to live, also recycling and last but not least my friends and I will be donating to charity and cleaning up the parks and streets and so on.
I am going to the beach for Earth Day During that time I will do community service! I will go along the beach picking up trash, glass, and help clean our amazing earth! I'll also be putting up flyers saying "Don't take showers for 10 minutes take them for 3, don't use it when you don't need it!" To help with drought's, and save more water so we have more than 3 percent that is fresh.
For Earth Day, I will become a vegetarian for one day and celebrate. I'll be earth conscious since everything around me should be appreciated. I'll wear green and conserve energy. I want to be able to donate money to help wildlife and join groups to clean up my environment. I want to be an encouragement to others and remind them saying."Save planet earth! It's the only planet with chocolate!" Tbh, what is there not to appreciate about earth? Think harder.
The computers we use are from the earth. The food we eat is from the earth. The cars we drive and the clothes we wear are all from the earth! Everything around us is from the earth, and that's just fascinating. The trees give us fresh air, and life all around us is full of energy. Such a gift like this can't be forgotten. So I'm going to do the best I can with what I have to fully enjoy such an important day. Life is a gift from God, He created everything for us, and that's why I want to cherish this gift He has given us, and not throw it away. @saveearth
I'm going to be picking up trash in my community with 4 other people from my school Mark, Tanya, James, and Sundus. We are going to start off by cleaning all of the parks in our neighborhood, (they have a lot of trash like plastic cups and broken glass from bottles etc.) and then after we finish we are going to help out the people at the bee garden to plant flowers & trees. We are also going to make "please recycle" posters to put on fences & finish it all off with a movie on nature at our local community center & celebrate with frozen fat free organic yogurt 😀

Skip to comments.Obamacore: The substitution of propaganda for great literature in our schools
Posted on 12/06/2012 9:57:12 AM PST by mojito
Controversy is brewing over new Common Core State Standards in English that call on public schools to emphasize the reading of information text instead of fictional literature. According to the Washington Post, English teachers across the country are upset by what they consider the governments effort to drive literature out of the classroom.
English teachers are right to be upset, but they shouldnt take it personally. The government has nothing much against literature, per se. Rather, this initiative is driven in large part by the desire to promote political propaganda in the classroom. The study of literature is being downgraded in the process, but for a good cause.
Consider that one of the informational texts recommended as a replacement for, say, Great Expectations is Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management. Students would thus study government propaganda in English class....
Consider also where the Common Core comes from? The Washington Post tries to make it appear that the new curriculum percolated up from the states. But at the back end of its story we find that the Obama administration kicked the notion into high gear when it required states to adopt the common standards or an equivalent in order to compete for Race to the Top grant funds.
The Common Core, then, should be viewed, at least in part, as an attempt by the Obama administration to gain control of what is taught in public schools for the purpose of indoctrination.

History? Banished.
Literature? Thought crime.
Welcome to 0bamamugabe's AmeriKa.
Now suck on it....for the next four years..
If this doesn't wake up Rick Perry and other republican governors and legislatures, nothing will.
Consider that one of the informational texts recommended as a replacement for, say, Great Expectations is Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management. Students would thus study government propaganda in English class....
Heh. Good luck with that. I'm yawning already. All may not be lost; this new initiative will yield to all sorts of genius work from bored students.
Reminds me, One Name, was this masterpiece done in or out of class? I'm still rofl at it.
The elite schools will still teach literature, latin, greek and a host of other subjects to encourage children to think.
The left doesn't want the rest of the children to be able to do any critical thinking whatsoever.
Yeah, the common core tries to force informational texts than literary texts. The recommended literature is pretty much the same as the standard classroom.
The one thing I dread is the possible presence of a "Common Core adviser" appearing at my school and asking to enter my class. I'll have to deny it as their presence would violate current FERPA laws.
"Schools have not necessarily much to do with education... they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school." -Winston Churchill
Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... " --Johann Gotlieb fitche
Aw, they don't read, anyway. So they won't be reading crappy propaganda instead of not reading old white males (and Jane Austen).
***English teachers across the country are upset by what they consider the governments effort to drive literature out of the classroom.***
I wonder if these same teachers were as 'upset' when God was taken out of the schools so long ago.
What is with this word, "core"? What the heck does it mean and why are educationalizers constantly saying it?
The following excerpt from a series entitled, "Lessons on Liberty," by the co-editor of a Bicentennial of the Constitution volume entitled, "Our Ageless Constitution." It contrasts the Founders' Ideas of Liberty" which were intended by the Founders to be taught to rising generations, with the Counterfeit Ideas being promoted in the so-called "public schools" of America for decades.
The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. (Jefferson - 1774)
Statesmen may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone which can establish the principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. (John Adams - 1775)
The Sacred Rights of Mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of the Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. (Alexander Hamilton)
Without God, there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first and the most basic expression of Americanism. Thus the founding fathers saw it, and thus, with Gods help, it will continue to be. (Dwight Eisenhower)
The same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. (John F. Kennedy - 1961 Inaugural)
it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly implore His protection and favor .(George Washington)
Now the virtue which had been infused into the Constitution and was to give it the stability and duration to which it was destined, was no other than those abstract principles proclaimed in the Declaration of Independencenamely, the self-evident truths of the unalienable rights of man the sovereignty of the people, always subordinate to a rule of right and wrong, and always responsible to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the rightful exercise of that sovereign power. (John Quincy Adams, on the occasion of The Jubilee of the Constitution - 1839)
"Today, across our nation, we see consequences of decades of gross neglect and outright censorship of the Founders ideas from textbooks and from our public discourse. We have allowed counterfeit ideas to dominate the public square, and the Founders principles have been crowded out. Unwittingly, many teachers and other unknowing officials have participated in the agenda of an unelected mind-controlling elite whose tyrannical actions have robbed generations of Americans from reading or studying the ideas that made America free. Like termites, they have eroded our foundations as effectively as if they had burned the books. Yet, not once have they been willing to call it by its rightful namecensorship. Once, in America, stifling ideas about the Creator and Creator-endowed liberty was considered unthinkable. . . .
"The ideas of liberty must be passed on from generation to generation if liberty is to survive. These ideas, when they are allowed to be examined freely, will prevail, because their appeal is to reason and to the love for liberty that is deep in the human heart. John Adams warned: The people of America now have the best opportunity and the greatest trust in their hands, that Providence ever committed to so small a number if they betray their trust, their guilt will merit even greater punishment than other nations have suffered, and the indignation of Heaven.
The idea of God is the keystone of a perverted society. The true root of liberty, equality and culture is atheism. (Karl Marx)
Our thinking is enlightened in the degree in which we cease to depend upon belief in the supernatural. (John Dewey, father of progressive education and 1st President of American Humanist Society)
democracy is a human faith and movement, unencumbered by supernatural preconceptions. (John Childs, a protégé of John Dewey at Columbia)
the majority of our youth still hold the values of their parents, and if we do not alter this pattern, if we do not resocialize ourselves to accept change, our society may decay. (John Goodlad, 1971 Report to President, Schooling for the Future)
As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially a faith in the prayer-hearing God, who is assumed to love and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith. (Humanist Manifesto II, 1973)
the most important factor moving us toward a secular society has been the educational factor. Our schools may not teach Johnny to read properly, but the fact that Johnny is in school until he is sixteen tends to lead toward elimination of religious superstition. (Paul Blanshard, The Humanist, March-April, 1976)
It [the Natl. Education Associations publication list] includes the delegitimizing of all authority save that of the state, the degradation of traditional morality and the encouragement of citizens in general and children in particular to despise the rules and customs that make their society a functional democracy. The NEA is drifting into exceedingly dangerous waters, and probably carrying more than a few teachers and pupils with it. (Chester E. Finn, Jr., Asst. Sec. Of Education & Prof. Of Education & Public Policy, Vanderbilt Univ., 1982)
Now, my countrymen, if you have been taught doctrines which conflict with the great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence
let me entreat you to come back. Return to the fountains whose waters spring close to the blood of the Revolution. (Abraham Lincoln)
"Napoleon took no interest in Snowball's committees. He said that the education of the young was more important than anything that could be done for those who were already grown up. It happened that Jessie and Bluebell had both whelped soon after the hay harvest, giving birth between them to nine sturdy puppies. As soon as they were weaned, Napoleon took them away from their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible for their education. He took them up into a loft which could only be reached by a ladder from the harness-room, and there kept them in such seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence."
`Animal Farm' chapter 3
You're going to have to get A into a private, or home school.
I don't think that it is that simple. Literature has been on the way out in public schools on the west coast for twenty or thirty years.
When my daughter, now 41, was in sixth grade, I became concerned that she had never done a written book report. I got the idea to ask a new neighbor, who was a retired English professor from the University of Michigan, is she would consider tutoring my daughter in literature. She said no, the current thinking in teaching was that reading literature was not necessary and not particularly beneficial. So, that was back in the eighties.
What she really meant was that reading literature opens up a student's mind to the thinking from another time and place, CONSERVATIVE thinking.
Actually if you ask most teachers they think this is a wonderful idea. "It will make us more like China" (which, evidently, they believe is a good thing)
I was just reading an article on the WSJ about the fact that US students are now scoring very poorly in vocabulary and it occurred to me that the best way for students to learn vocabulary is to read good literature.
That might be the point in eliminating literature from the curricula, even the outcome for "disadvantaged" students for whom English is a second language either virtually, or in reality. Without actually reading good literature that uses the English vocabulary and good grammar, students are reduced to memorizing words as if English is a foreign language. It would be the same for writing skills.

I currently work in a public middle school and what
I've read about the model just makes so much sense.
It has been a process, however, to give up the
assumptions I have about schooling as a society.
So, as I look to create a school, I have been sharing
with people around me the possibility I see in the SVS
model. The thing that seems to be the biggest hang up
for people is that children won't learn anything. I
know this was my initial thought when I first started
reading about the model, and it requires giving up
control. In my (fairly useless) education classes we
spend so much time talking about how to control a
classroom. Letting go is very scary for most people.
I've been puzzled about what is at the root of this
assumption that children won't learn anything. It
seems to me that it stems from the fact that we think
people are inherently flawed. So then, getting people
to see the value in the SVS model would require them
accepting that humans aren't inherently flawed? Does
anyone have any comments on this?
Julianne Madrid :)

Mt. Gox blames hackers for $500 million loss
Updated 5:48 pm, Friday, February 28, 2014
Mt. Gox filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan Friday and blamed the loss of nearly $500 million worth of bitcoins on hackers exploiting security system flaws.
The company, at one time the world's biggest bitcoin exchange, said 750,000 bitcoins owned by customers and 100,000 bitcoins of its own were missing. Those bitcoins are worth up to $450 million, according to various estimates based on volatile world bitcoin exchange rates.
Mt. Gox also listed more than $65 million, in debts. The company previously served as a major destination for players of the fantasy card game Magic: The Gathering.

Speaking in Japanese, Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles bowed and apologized during a news conference at Tokyo District Court, blaming his company's troubles on a "weakness in our system."
"First of all, I'm very sorry," Karpeles said, according to Reuters. "The bitcoin industry is healthy and it is growing. It will continue, and reducing the impact is the most important point."
Bitcoin enthusiast Scott Robinson of Sunnyvale called the bankruptcy filing unfortunate, but said it will clear the way for more secure businesses to take over the bitcoin industry.
"This represents one of the last pillars of the old bitcoin guard to fall," Robinson said in an e-mail. He referred to two operations that U.S. federal prosecutors shut down last year - Liberty Reserve, a Costa Rican digital currency service, and Silk Road, an online black market that let vendors sell drugs and other illicit goods in exchange for bitcoins.
"This mirrors the continued trend I'm witnessing in the bitcoin startup space, with more talent quitting from Google, Apple and elsewhere to start a business," Robinson said. "Better talent in the space means we will see apps with the same security expectations as we have for banking or messaging apps currently on our phone."
Robinson had about one bitcoin left in Mt. Gox.

Blaine County is an amalgamation of several Southern Californian counties adjacent to Los Angeles and the Salton Sea. For example, the eastern desert and more rural areas near the Alamo Sea appear to most closely resemble western Imperial and Riverside counties whereas the western and more northerly areas such as North Chumash and Paleto Bay draw inspiration from southwestern Ventura County, and many of the northernmost and southernmost areas such as Paleto Forest and Bolingbroke Penitentiary, draw inspiration from southern San Bernardino County. The area is also very mountainous compared to the adjacent Los Santos County.
- There is a county in the U.S. state of Idaho also called Blaine County.
- The official seal of the County's motto reads "The morning glory county". Morning glory is said to be when a male wakes up with an erection for no apparent reason. This is another reference to Rockstar's raunchy humor.
- Some radio stations based in Los Santos (such as West Coast Talk Radio) will fade out into static and switch over to Blaine County Talk Radio when the player crosses the county line into Blaine County.
- Despite being an independent county, Blaine County is still patrolled by the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department, which logically should only operate in Los Santos County. This could be because of the heavy arms trading and meth dealing that happens.
- Trevor Philips lives in Blaine County because he feels that it's more "authentic" than Los Santos, and it's closer to the production of his stock in trade: meth and guns.

NIKE Road to Glory Set as U.S. Women's National Team Will Play Three Domestic Matches Before Departing for Sydney
The "NIKE Road to Glory" will open on August 13 with a match against Russia at the Navy-Marine Corp Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. (Kickoff 5 p.m. ET -- LIVE on ESPN2). Tickets go on sale at halftime of the USA-South Africa Men's Nike U.S. Cup match at RFK Stadium on June 3, and at all Ticketmaster outlets beginning June 4 at noon. Tickets will also be available at the Naval Academy Ticket Office starting June 5. Tickets are priced at $20-$40 and available by calling 1-800-US4NAVY (800-874-6289) or by calling the Maryland Youth Soccer Association at 1-877-407-8497. This match against Russia will mark the first soccer game played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium since 1984 when the stadium played host to first-round men?s soccer games in the 1984 Olympics.
The USA will then face Canada at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. on Sunday, Aug. 20 (Kickoff 2 p.m. CT -- LIVE in ESPN2). Tickets are priced at $15-$45 and are available by calling 816-920-9300. The final match will be against Brazil in California during the first weekend of September, with the confirmed date and venue to be announced in the coming weeks.
The "NIKE Road to Glory" will complete an unprecedented schedule of 32 matches in 2000 before the Olympics. The most matches ever played in a calendar year before this year was 29 in 1999. All three "NIKE Road to Glory" opponents participated in last summer's Women's World Cup, but only Brazil qualified for the Olympic soccer competition.
The USA has won each of its three matches against Russia in its history, the most recent coming on Sept. 18, 1998, in Rochester, N.Y., in a match that featured a bit of history. The sold-out crowd at Frontier Field saw the 100th career goal from Mia Hamm and the 100th career cap for Tiffeny Milbrett, who along with Hamm had two goals and two assists. Russia finished an unlucky eighth at the 1999 Women's World Cup and was therefore bumped from the Olympic tournament for host Australia. It will be the first match for the U.S. women in Annapolis, where former U.S. Women's National Team star and 1991 Women's World Cup MVP Carin Gabarra coaches the Naval Academy women's soccer team.
Canada has long played little sister to the USA in the CONCACAF region, winning just once in 21 games. The Americans have won 19 straight games against their Northern neighbors and go for number twenty today in Sydney, Australia when the two teams meet in the Pacific Cup.
The send-off match against Brazil will pair the two 1999 Women's World Cup semifinalists, who squared off in front of 77,000 fans at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto on July 4, 1999. The match will no doubt be a rousing send-off for both teams as the match will feature two of the world's most dynamic attacking sides.

David, Yes, I should have been more clear. I was assuming a kind of two step definition, in keeping with the approach to architecture in general. The definition needs to be technology neutral to the extent possible, then specific examples cited that fit the definition. So I would agree with you, first define the what, as I proposed, and then say something like "for example, Web services are implemented using SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI."

Org Subject: RE: Is This a Web Service? Eric In many ways I like your definition except that it does not mention ANY of the well known "web services standards" such as SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. This makes me think that perhaps there are two steps to defining a web serivice ... 1. Define a web service in a standards neutral way - along the lines of your definition or some variant. This defines WHAT a web service is 2. Define sets of standards that can implement a Web Service. This defines HOW you implement a web service Drawing an analogy to creating a building, the first is like the architects drawing of the end result. The second is the result of the architect and the quantity survey coming up with detailed plans of how the building will be built. They are both valid "architectural" activities. I also think that agreeing on the first step might make it easier to come up with the second. However it also raises the issue of how you use standards together which WS-I is doing, should this be our perogative?

Org Subject: RE: Is This a Web Service? Hi, I'd like to propose a definition I worked up recently: "A Web service is an XML interface to an executable software agent that is accessible using Web technologies. A Web service has a description, identified and published using a URI. The agent has a network address, also identified and published using a URI. A Web service description defines the set of one or more XML messages that can be sent to and/or received from a Web service. A Web service description may be discovered using a registry, directory, or other mechanism that associates human readable keywords with descriptions." In particular, I've been trying to establish the separation between the applications of XML that Web services consist of (i.e. the set of schemas, DTDs, etc.) and the executable environments onto which they are mapped or transformed. For one thing, Web services specifications define XML "representations" of things and while they often include processing model information, the artifacts are nonetheless distinct. The same Web service can be executed in disparate software environments, meaning the "XML layer" needs to be distinct from the software agents that execute the services. So I think it's really important to include in the definition at least this distinction. For example, to clarify the fact that the Web services description or interface is a separate Web resource. It could live at the same URI as the executable agent, and many implementations do in fact work this way (dereferencing the URI gets you the WSDL file that describes the executable service accessible at the same endpoint address). I think the fact that a description also is discoverable is part of the definition of a Web service.

The handling of forms should be considered in the set of "generic web protocols". And I'm not clear on your requirements about the format. Are you saying that if the service just says "responses are in XHTML" that would be good enough? Anyway, Anne's proposal was only a SHOULD w.r.t. interface description at that level, and so if that's valid, then going without should also work. Just testing the [pond] waters...

Org Subject: Re: Is This a Web Service? How about leaving off the "should" on the first one, or amending that sentence to read "The service should provide some type of description of its interface, or restrict itself to a generic web interface." I have a hard time with this. "Generic web interface" in the REST sense says nothing about the rules for generating the URI or the format of the data to be retrieved. Think of Google (the "classic" HTTP/HTML version) ... it might be thought of as a Web service *if* they described the rules for generating a query (apparently pretty simple, just concatenate the search terms together with a "+"), and if they described the format (XHTML is OK) of the result. But it's not a "Web service" just by virtue of having a "generic web interface" -- people can use the HTML form on www.google.com and make sense of the result, but machines can't.Received on Tuesday, 15 April 2003 19:24:12 UTC

I know this question might belong in one of the more technical forums, but I wanted to see if this problem is happening to any number of SP-ers:
My browser is normally Google Chrome, and it works with SP until recently, when all I get is "SP is temporarily down for maintenance. It will be back up as soon as possible. Thanks!" Weirdly enough, SP works on Safari and Firefox while I still get that random message on SP, and it has been that way for a while. But it gets even more odd: I can Google search any SP page and get to it just fine. But going back to the home page shows the same 'down for maintenance' thing. Has this happened to anyone else?
