How To Get Rid Of Bathtub Mildew
Mildew is basically a clump of fungi, algae and bacteria that grow on damp and moist areas. There are many types of mildew that sprout in different areas. Some types are not really bothersome but some can become great nuisance to people. One type that is not really too alarming is outdoor powdery mildew that attack plants and trees on rainforests. On the other hands, one of the most prevalent and most hated types is the indoor mildew which attacks households.
Indoor mildew is commonly found at the bathroom area. This is because the humidity inside the bathroom enables mildew to sprout. Bathroom mildews can usually be found on tiles, sink, toilets and even your very own bathtub! Imagine yourself taking a relaxing bath only to see that there is dark green, almost black, dirt floating on the water – sounds filthy, right? So if you see that there is possible mildew formation in your tub, you should clean it up right away. Not only will does it make your bath time dirty, it may also harm your health. In order to get rid of bathtub mildew, do these simply methods.
Clean up the mildew
The most obvious way to get rid of bathtub mildew is to clean and scrub it off. Sometimes, just plain scrubbing and rinsing will remove it from the bathtub, but if you want a more effective way to remove nasty mildew, you can use mildew remover.
Mildew remover is available in most stores. They are fairly-priced so you do not have to worry about your budget. Aside from instant mildew removers, you can also make powerful vinegar-water solution or baking soda and water mixture. The bleach that you use for whitening cloth and fabrics may also help kill the mildew.
Simply pour whatever mildew solution you prefer on the bathtub mildew spots. Let it sit for a few minutes and when you see that the mildew discolors a bit. Get a scrub to remove the mildew. Afterwards, rinse the residue with clean water.
Check leaky spots
If the mildew is forming near the faucet, there might be a hole that paves way for water leaks. Even though it is not too visible, small cracks can make water escape gradually and keep the bathtub damp. If your bathtub is always moist, there is a bigger chance for mildew to form. Also, you can check the ceiling and see if there are any marks of leaking water. Even small droplets can pave way for multiplication of harmful mildew. Once you locate leaky spots, repair them right away.
Observe proper ventilation
The desirable percentage of humidity inside the bathroom is 50% to 60%. If your bathroom exceeds the level, mildew will form inside your bathroom. To improve the ventilation, you can get dehumidifiers which absorb air to keep the right level of humidity and to keep the circulating air clean as well.
Maintain bathtub cleanliness
To avoid mildew growth, you should maintain your bathtub cleanliness. After you make use of the bathtub, rinse it with water so that soap residues will not stick on the tub's surface. It is also a good idea to keep old rugs and clothes inside your bathroom cabinet so that you can dry up bathroom surfaces whenever you take use the bathroom. Keeping the area clean and dry will prevent mildew from sprouting.

Kodak Introduces First Printer Dock and Digital Cameras Compatible with IMAGELINK Print System
New KODAK EASYSHARE Printer Dock Series 3 Supports Forthcoming Cameras from Kodak, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Ricoh and Sanyo
LONDON, April 19 — Adding to its award-winning line of EASYSHARE printer docks, Eastman Kodak Company recently announced the first model to support the IMAGELINK print system, making possible one-touch printing from multiple brands of digital cameras.

Ciuprinskas Fundraiser
Help the Ciuprinskas family pay for their 16 year old daughter's funeral.
Last year the Ciuprinskas family of 6 watched their father/husband die slowly of cancer. Then, one week later, the man that was going to step in and help take care of the family (Susanne's father) died suddenly and unexpectedly. This was 2 deaths in one week. Less than one year later, Susanne's 16 year old daughter Karly, tragically died in a car accident on a sunny Saturday afternoon while sitting in the backseat with her seatbelt on. Susanne was a house wife before her husband Ron was diagnosed with cancer. Since then she has been struggling to deal with all the loss, her 4 kids and the finances and now she needs to not only deal with the loss of her daughter but also with the cost of a funeral. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Alfred Max Grimm
Personality Profile
Alfred Max Grimm - a male celebrity - born on Friday February 5th 1892, in Dresden, Germany,.
Alfred Max Grimm is the philanthropist and humanitarian who is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. He has a utopian personality, and will spend her life trying to realize some aspect of her utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world.
His broad outlook on life allows Grimm to see the big picture, and to often shy away from dealing with the minute details. That is why Alfred Max Grimm attracts people who can fit into her larger plans and take over the areas he considers uninteresting. Consequently, Alfred evaluates people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. He is a true egalitarian, rarely prejudiced and would not accept social biases of people.
Interior decorating, landscape art or photography can be the sort of fields in which Alfred's imagination and creativity can harmoniously arrange the beauty already potential in the environment. However, due to his strong social consciousness - he can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, environmentalist or in any other vocation that carries a clear social impact.
Alfred Max Grimm has a romantic personality, but his love is more impersonal as he tends to be focused on her dreams instead. When not in harmony with his true nature, Alfred can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. He can also become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for his troubles on others or the world. He is often disappointed by the realities of life, her own shortcomings, and those of others, and is relentlessly driven to improve upon it all - striving for greater accomplishments. This is Alfred's life-lesson - to accept the natural limitations of the world and its habitants in order to make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully.
Grimm must learn to let go of material possessions and relationships because holding on too tightly to anything causes him pain. The more he gives, the bigger is his reward, and the most successful and satisfying road for him is sharing and sacrificing for the larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Alfred Max Grimm's greatest chance at success is to tie his personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. It may very well turn into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Alfred and her family. More...
More flavors to Alfred's personality
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Alfred Max Grimm is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Alfred cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Patient as he is towards his goals, Alfred's flying, ravaging temper endangers his relationships with the very same people that will help him to accomplish those goals. He should use his strength of will to study and practice anger management.
Alfred Max Grimm makes a good performer, but at the same time he can be quite intense and serious.
His artistic talent is emphasized in the performing arts where sensitivity and understanding for people and situations is called for.
Alfred can easily gain high respect in the community, being understanding of the views of others, and he often tends to achieve his goals.
When balanced, he is compassionate and emotionally secure. Grimm is also a natural healer, with leadership qualities and the ability to genuinely empathize. He also radiates love and spiritual happiness to those around him.
When unbalanced, drama queen is not an unfamiliar term to Alfred, and he often likes to give advice to others even when his own life is a mess.
By becoming aware of his emotions, he can gain control over them rather than have his emotions control his life. And the reward is great because then he shows vast depth of understanding while keeping his emotions checked.
Tour Alfred's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
March 30th 2017 is a dynamic and even hectic for Alfred Max Grimm that may bring some change in his career.
Generally speaking, today is a day of unexpected events that may even include travel.
Alfred will be able to spend some of his restless energy in social events, but with his restlessness - he better watch for signs of lacking self-discipline.

#10115 closed bug (invalid)
prop('disabled') and removeProp('disabled') on select elements not working as expected.
Reported by: | markstory | Owned by: | |
Priority: | undecided | Milestone: | None |
Component: | unfiled | Version: | 1.6.2 |
Keywords: | Cc: | ||
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
With jQuery 1.6.2, using prop() and removeProp() to toggle the disabled property on a select box in Chrome 14.0.835.94 beta does not work as expected.
The first toggling of disabled works as expected, but future toggling does not. This might be me confusing how these methods work. However, the equivalent code without jQuery doesn't suffer the same issue.
The same issue is not present in Safari 5.0.5 or Firefox 6.0
I've created a fiddle for the issue http://jsfiddle.net/markstory/B3NCY/
To reproduce try toggling the enabled/disabled links several times.

comment:1 Changed 6 years ago by dmethvin
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
Note: Do not use this method to remove native properties such as checked, disabled, or selected. This will remove the property completely and, once removed, cannot be added again to element. Use .prop() to set these properties to false instead.
comment:2 Changed 4 years ago by anonymous
Setting "disabled" to "false" using prop does not work in some browsers (on my IE 9.0.8), since they follow a standard of if a "disabled" attribute is defined, it's equivalent to true (irrelevant of "disabled"s value). So only way to enabled it would be to remove it
comment:3 Changed 4 years ago by anonymous
Scrap that last comment, prop('disabled', false) is clever enough to remove the disabled attribute, not just set it to false


text: 2)And was there any clarification on anonymous CVS access yet? I keep my own CVS repsository (so I can track personal package changes [I have my own OpenACS3 "weblog" module that I want to port], other projects, etc.). It's so easy to do an anonymous checkout into /tmp, import that code into my repository, and then update my development area. Are we going to keep that sort of functionality?


text: The end of the year is always full of unexpected closures and today comes the news that Bar Bambino will serve its last suppers on December 31. After six years on the scene, a menu overhaul in 2011 that took the restaurant in the direction of northeastern, German-influenced Italy, and numerous positive reviews, owner Christopher Losa has written a heartfelt letter thanking the community and his suppliers. The news comes four months after the announcement that chef Lizzie Binder was leaving the restaurant — first announced as a hiatus which later was revealed to be permanent, as Binder landed on the cast of Top Chef: Seattle. Losa says he plans to spend more time with his wife and four year old daughter and asks fans to join him for a meal over the course of the next two weeks. The restaurant will be open on New Year's Eve with room for 100 or so guests and it will offer the regular menu in order to highlight some favorite dishes. [Earlier]

The 10 Dumbest Historical Objects That Sold for Big Bucks
There are a lot of important artifacts worthy of historical recognition and preservation in order to commemorate their impact on the development of mankind and society: the original Gettysburg address, the hammer used to nail Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses, and the first Wonderbra, to name a few examples. These high-priced garage sale knick-knacks shouldn't be among them, even though some very rich suckers paid just as much to own them.

10. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Mustache Trimmings
The creator of Sherlock Holmes wasn't just your typical writer who spends anywhere from 70 to 94 hours a week in their pajamas looking up nut-shot videos on YouTube. He actually did stuff that would probably make a military paratrooper think that he wasted his life.
It's hard to know exactly where he derived his power for laughing in death's pimply face, but it must come from his awesome man-stache, a mustache so awesome that it is worthy of pun-infused misspelling. That's the only reason I can fathom for why someone would pay good money to buy his facial hair trimmings for more than 150 British pounds ($247 in American coinage). The purchase also came with a portrait of the author taken for his second wedding and the original envelope they were kept in for so many years that reads "My beloved mustache hairs," which makes me wonder if he loved them enough to name all of them.
9. Lee Harvey Oswald's Coffin
Source: Hulton Archive/Stringer/Getty Images
No other event in history (except perhaps for the Apollo 11 moon landing, the Roswell crash landing, or the break-up of Van Halen) has created more wild, drug-fueled speculation and conspiracy theories than the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The wild, wackjob hypotheses surrounding his death have turned every minuscule prop, fixture, and piece of trash from Dealey Plaza into items worth more than you or I could ever hope to be worth. For instance, the coffin of the man who most rational people believe killed JFK went on the auction block for a starting bid of $1,000. Of course, it didn't come with Oswald's body since it was the first coffin he was buried in before his body was exhumed in 1981, but I'm sure the auction house would have been willing to sell that on some kind of installment plan.
8. Queen Victoria's Panties
Source: Rischgitz/Stringer/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
It's hard to understand the kind of twisted billionaire who would want to own the knickers of one of the biggest and most powerful women in the world. It's more likely my mind just doesn't want to venture that down that flesh-colored, elephant-skinned road of elderly perverted delicacies about the man who purchased one of the biggest and most powerful ass coverings of all time.
Someone in Derby with more money than brains (or a common sense of decency) purchased the late queen's "knickers" for 4,500 pounds (or just under $7,400) to do God knows what with them. So to keep myself from vomiting uncontrollably, I just imagine they turned them into the world's most regal pup tent.
7. Elvis Presley's Army Haircut Trimmings
Source: Michael Ochs Archives/Stringer/Getty Images
Remember the "Elvis is Alive" conspiracy theories? When the King of Rock and Roll started making surprise appearances around the country after spending months in seclusion, the world was stunned and rightfully so, considering the fact that he had been dead for at least 10 years.
However, turning the King into the King of Kings is probably the most sane thing his fans have done to honor his musical legacy. Someone at the Army base where Elvis had gotten his military issue haircut collected a big chunk of the trimmings as they fell from that barber's golden hair chair. They popped up at an auction and were sold to an anonymous bidder for $18,300. I'm sure he wanted to remain anonymous because cloning is a felony.
6. Michael Jackson's Syringe
Source: Ron Galella/WireImage/Getty Images
The late King of Pop has long been the target of high-priced auctions since his fabled Neverland Ranch estate went up for sale. However, the strangest keepsake in the MJ collection (strange even for a man who lived in what can ostensibly be described as the world's creepiest Dave and Busters and listed Peter Pan as a reference on his resume) is the syringe that delivered the fatal dose of drugs into his bloodstream. What's even more shocking is the asking price: $5 million. For that kind of money, you should also be able to get Jackson's entire circulatory system.

Hello everybody,
I will buy a camera IP for a theater compagny. The advantages are the motorized zoom, pan and tilt and the possibility to put the camera far from the computer (with RJ45 connection). I'm looking for a resolution of 640 *480 ( or better but I never try a camera like that) for precessing in Jitter in open GL…of course… . So I don't know what model to buy…There's too many models and too many price. I want the quality and be sure that it was ok with Jitter…
If you have any experience with that….

The sweets and specialties served are delicious. The cannoli are just amazing, unforgettable. We returned several times during our trip to enjoy the best of the best, and at the same time the romantic and cosy small square. Amazing! A must in Lipari!
The cannoli is big😂...I dont really have a sweet teeth. But I like the cappuccino, brioches+gelato and granite here. Very recommended and waiters are friendly:)
A must go! Best Cannoli of Lipari (and probably best of Aeolian Islands) filled with ricotta at the moment you order, simply AMAZING! They can also prepare a travel bag in case you wish to bring a sweet souvenir at home. Enjoy!
We took our morning breakfast there and the food was really great! I highly recommend it especially to get away from the busy streets and other crowded places !
Very friendly staff and deliziosoooo cannolo and cornetto..best cannolo we ever had.... Took 1 on the way too!
It was the perfect Italian breakfast (plus a Coke) to make me and my kids happy! The pastries were delicious. It was located around the corner from our hotel and we took it to go to eat on our balcony at Giardino Sul Mare.
Some devote their lives to painting the Sistine Chapel, and others make Cannoli. This place is very difficult to find, but I had the very good fortune of stumbling across it whilst exploring the tiny alleyways near Marina Corta. This tiny establishment serves gelati, coffee and an assortment of Sicilian sweets but the people who queue day and night are... More
Yes, this patisserie does serve the best cannoli in the world. It is set in a beautiful corner a few steps from the marina and the Piazza di Sant Onofrio. The cannoli is made while you wait and really is special. We rarely go back to the same restaurant whilst travelling, but this is one of those exceptions.

Continued from page 1
But the Solicitor General's principal rationale for recommending a denial of certiorari—that the Ninth Circuit's error is of reduced importance because it is unlikely to be repeated—is subject to serious question. The plaintiffs accuse natural gas traders of having manipulated privately published price indices in 2001-02. Because buyers and sellers rely on those indices as reference points for pricing all types of natural gas transactions, the direct effect of the alleged manipulation was to raise wholesale natural gas prices. While conceding that wholesale purchasers were barred by the NGA from challenging the alleged manipulation on state antitrust grounds, the Ninth Circuit held that preemption did not extend to suits brought by retail purchasers who challenged the very same manipulation, because retail sales fall outside of FERC's jurisdiction. The court concluded this despite the fact that the alleged manipulation unquestionably was a "practice . . . affect[ing]" wholesale prices within the meaning of the NGA.
The Solicitor General recognizes the clear error of the Ninth Circuit's approach. But he points to a 2005 federal statute, the Energy Policy Act (EPAct), as a basis for concluding that the Ninth Circuit would not repeat the error. The EPAct amended the NGA so that it now states explicitly that FERC is authorized to regulate private price indices. It also prohibits the manipulation of price indices in violation of FERC rules. The Solicitor General reasons that this explicit FERC authority should make it clear now, even to the Ninth Circuit, that all state-law claims involving manipulation of a price index are preempted by the NGA, whether asserted by wholesale or retail purchasers.
The flaw in the reasoning here is that it does not come to grips with the Ninth Circuit's rationale for rejecting a preemption defense. The Ninth Circuit fully recognized that, even before the adoption of the EPAct in 2005, FERC possessed authority to regulate manipulation of privately published price indices. It nonetheless ruled that States may award damages to retail purchasers who were injured by the manipulation, even though such manipulation unquestionably is a "practice . . . affect[ing]" retail prices within the meaning of the NGA. The relevant statutory preemption language—set forth at 15 U.S.C.§ 717d(a)—has not changed. Since that language was insufficient to persuade the Ninth Circuit to recognize that the NGA bars state antitrust claims against Petitioners based on their pre-2005 conduct, there is no reason to conclude that the Ninth Circuit would bar state claims against Petitioners based on identical post-2005 conduct. Indeed, the Ninth Circuit's rationale would permit continued state regulation of any practice affecting wholesale natural gas rates, provided only that the practice also has a direct impact on some retail purchasers.
Moreover, the Solicitor General's efforts to explain away the direct conflict between the Ninth Circuit decision and other court decisions—in particular, decisions from the Supreme Courts of Nevada and Tennessee—are unconvincing. He notes that the fact pattern addressed by the Ninth Circuit varied somewhat from the fact patterns in the other two cases. But as Washington Legal Foundation explains in its brief urging that the certiorari petition be granted, all three cases involved claims by retail customers who alleged that they were injured by the practices of natural gas traders, and the Solicitor General does not deny that the Ninth Circuit claims would have been held preempted if judged under the rule of decision established by the other two courts. Moreover, most of the defendants in these cases would not ordinarily be subject to the Ninth Circuit's jurisdiction for their conduct in this case. That court's jurisdiction here was merely an artifact of the multi-district litigation being consolidated in Nevada. To subject defendants, under these circumstances, to the severe consequences of an erroneous judgment by the Ninth Circuit that is inconsistent with every other court that has ruled on this question would be particularly unjust.
The Solicitor General concedes that the Ninth Circuit erred in rejecting Petitioners' preemption defense, a ruling that exposes Petitioners to massive state antitrust liability—including liability well beyond what even federal antitrust treble damages rules would permit. In light of that concession and the high likelihood that the Ninth Circuit will persist in its error unless corrected, the justices should grant the Petition when they consider it at their June 26 conference.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police are searching for a gunman who fired shots at a group of teenagers, wounding three of them.
A police spokeswoman says two of the youths told investigators that they were hanging around a gas station in the Hunting Park section of the city shortly before midnight Friday when an unknown person started shooting at them.
A 16-year-old shot in the back was taken to Temple University Hospital and listed in stable condition, and a 15-year-old victim was taken to the hospital with a wound on his leg. Police later learned that another 15-year-old youth had been taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for treatment of a graze wound.
Police said they were searching for a 16- to 17-year-old suspect wearing a white T-shirt.

1. Re: CMS for CS.5
martcol Jul 4, 2012 10:23 PM (in response to Renskins)Take a look at this
They have a clear introductory video.
It costs £35 per site
I've never used it but feel sure i will. I tend to use Wordpress but that has a pretty big learning curve for developer and user especially if you want it to fit what you're dining rather than the other way around.
2. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 4, 2012 10:39 PM (in response to martcol)Thanks! That looks good.
my clients gave me this website as an example of what they want http://www.sappho102.biz/component/option,com_gigcal/task,details/day,3/Itemid,27/
they want a gigcalendar that they can update themselves and a gallery they can update themselves
The website designer for the one above used this: http://gigcalendar.net/index.php
but I can't for the life of me work out how it works or how the client logs in and manages the content. any thoughts?

That gigcalendar is a module for either Joomla! or Mambo CMS systems.
You'd have to be running either of those CMSes in order to use it.
Wordpress offers similar solutions: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gigs-calendar/
Seems to me they definitely want a Content Management solution.
4. Re: CMS for CS.5
martcol Jul 5, 2012 12:21 AM (in response to John Waller)I'm not trying to sell this Perch thing or anything, but they have a callendar App:
You can be sure that Drupal, Wordpress and Joomla will be able to help you achieve what you want and then some. But your comment in the original post about feeling that you are in over your head, makes me think that it is a lot to take on. Yes, they're free and open source and they are great fun to learn but it is a lot of learning despite their huge following and established communities. If you are good at learning and have a reasonable grasp of PHP, HTML and CSS then it would be much easier.
5. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 12:49 AM (in response to martcol)It looks like they all have apps for event pages, gig calenders and gallerys. which is what i need.
It's just that i already created most of the website in DW already and now they have told me they want this, and I'm not getting paid much, unfortunately it's one of those situation I can't get out of so I want to find the easiest and most time effective way to use what I've got and provide what the client needs. i just need to decide which one is best to use. Joomla, drupl and wordpress are free but you have to pay for add ons and I'm wondering if by the time I add a gig calender etc it will be cheaper to go with perch.
Perch looks good but if I can find the equal for free that is better.
6. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 1:28 AM (in response to Renskins)Basically I just want to incorporate a CMS into my current DW stylesheet so I don't have to remake the website or learn a new progam. The CMS needs to allow for online login, and editing an events page, gigcalendar and photo gallery.
What do you suggest would be best?
7. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 3:21 AM (in response to Renskins)Ok, so I have narrowed it down to two options but I still have questions.
If I use joomla the I can create a gigcalendar exactly like the one in the example website, which is what the client wants. But can I use the template I have already created in dreamweaver instead of the joomla templates and just use joomla for the sections that i want to be editable to the client?
Or I can use perch, which looks reallt easy to use and seems like I don't need to remake my site but use what i have already created in DW. However I can't see any visual examples of the galleries or calendars and I'm worried they will be ugly and not what the client wants.
What do you reccommend?
8. Re: CMS for CS.5
MurraySummers Jul 5, 2012 4:47 AM (in response to Renskins)I would definitely NOT call Drupal or Joomla "computer illiterate user friendly". For simple sites, and simple editing tasks, I think Perch is a much better way to go.
9. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 4:52 AM (in response to Renskins)I'm not computer illiterate, but my clients, are slightly. I just need the online editing part to be easy.
10. Re: CMS for CS.5
MurraySummers Jul 5, 2012 4:54 AM (in response to Renskins)That's what I'm talking about. Your client will have to study hard to become proficient in either of these two (Drupal, Joomla).
11. Re: CMS for CS.5
martcol Jul 5, 2012 4:54 AM (in response to Renskins)Having declared already that I've never used Perch it's difficult to comment although, it won't stop me now! You might do well to ask some questions on their forum. If I had to add CMS to a static site I would definitely go with Perch.
If you're worried about it not looking good then I imagine that will be down to your ability with HTML/CSS. I would expect Perch to be customisable based on the fact that you can plug it in to an existing site. Again, it might be best to have a look at their setup port stuff.
Why don't you also think about showing your client what Perch can bring to the party and see if they will stump up a bit more for the work? Their introductory video was quite good and it might help you with the decision.
I can tell you this, I'm currently teaching a customer how to work with Wordpress and it is a) agony and b) time consuming!
12. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 4:57 AM (in response to martcol)thanks! It's a bit of a weird situation. I was going to send them the link but their ESL (english as a second language) so not sure they will get it.
But I think it's worth checking out.
13. Re: CMS for CS.5
osgood_ Jul 5, 2012 5:41 AM (in response to Renskins)Perch is a great little cms. I don't know much about the events application add-on but if you ask around in the forum youre sure to get a response.
I hate to say this BUT if the client isn't paying you much to do this then they can only expect what you can provide them with. If it isnt exactly the same as the example then tough.
Myself I would probably just do away with the fancy calander and just have links to the months, then list the events in that month. Might not look as pretty but on a budget it does a more than adequate job.
14. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 5, 2012 5:47 AM (in response to osgood_)I hear you but some business agreements go beyond just business, they are friends and some cultural/language confusion has caused the problem. which are my fault so I must make it the best i can.
15. Re: CMS for CS.5
BenPleysier Jul 5, 2012 6:46 AM (in response to Renskins)If it is only one or two pages that you want your client to be able to change, you might like to try what I used to do many moons ago.
The idea is to create a text file (I call it a text file because it does not contain the normal document structure) to be included into your document. In a secured backend, the text file is loaded into an HTML editor, http://ckeditor.com/. Within the editor the client can change the contents and save it. Very much like using word.
16. Re: CMS for CS.5
cmspro Jul 9, 2012 3:05 PM (in response to Renskins)I am surprised I have not seen Konductor on this list. Definately the easiest alternative (by far) that I have used.
17. Re: CMS for CS.5
Nancy OShea Jul 9, 2012 3:28 PM (in response to cmspro)@cmspro,
Konductor = hosting & CMS, right?
I don't think you can use it with any other servers, or can you?
Nancy O.
18. Re: CMS for CS.5
cmspro Jul 9, 2012 3:31 PM (in response to Nancy OShea)I think they have an externally hosted version - but they have not annouced it publicly. Maybe contact them.
19. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 9, 2012 7:03 PM (in response to cmspro)Am I right in thinking that in order to edit the page my client will also need DW and Konductor on their system?
This seems like a more expensive alternative if this is the case. I am after something that my client can edit online so they can access it from work or home or whereever they are without having to purchase softoware they don't understand.
20. Re: CMS for CS.5
cmspro Jul 9, 2012 7:09 PM (in response to Renskins)No. Konductor is 2 things, 1) a free Dreamweaver extension for Designers and 2) an Application that allows Clients to edit content defined by the designer. Similar to Contribute but 100 times better for Designers and 10000 times easier for clients.
The clients only pays something if you host with them.
22. Re: CMS for CS.5
cmspro Jul 9, 2012 7:27 PM (in response to Renskins)They can do a lot more than that. I am pretty sure it is a VERY popular solution for requests like this.
23. Re: CMS for CS.5
Zabeth69 Jul 9, 2012 7:43 PM (in response to Renskins)Don't know if anyone has suggested this, but someone here suggested to me that I use CushyCMS, which I have used very successfully with several clients. It is easy and free to set up. You can find them at cushycms.com: http://www.cushycms.com/en
Editing happens in client's browser through their link to their cushycms admin page. Each editable element or area is defined as an edit field with edit tools like those at the top of the forum edit panels.
If the changes that they are trying to make involves ONLY a calendar, I have also successfully embedded a Google calendar, which requires no messing with the website at all, as the calendar owner edits totally off the site.
24. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 22, 2012 8:54 PM (in response to martcol)well you had me sold on the perch thing but it turns out my system is not compatible as I don't have PHP. I have been looking at all the numerous possibilities everyone has suggested and they all seem like they might be hard to sell to the client due to the cost. Another option that was suggested by a friend was to skin WP, but I haven't got a clue how to do that. Do you have any other thoughts on how I can keep all the design work I have done in DW but integrate a cheap CMS package that offers gallery and gigcalendar options?
25. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 22, 2012 9:20 PM (in response to cmspro)I have been looking into Konductor and you don't edit online. You edit through the Konductor editing application which you upload. I feel that this process is going to be difficult to explain to my clients. They would also have to download the application to all of the computers they use, where as they want to be able to access and edit their site no matter where they are. It seems like it is not the easiest approach for a client.
Do you know anything about skinning WP and using it as a CMS within DW?
26. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 22, 2012 9:22 PM (in response to martcol)Hey Martin,
Why is WP so hard to teach? If I can work out how to skin a wp site it seems like it will be the cheapest option. Perch obviously would be better but my system is just not compatible.

If you can run WP then you can run Perch. Why do you say it is not compatible? All CMS packages use: MySQL, PHP, and Apache server. All three are free to download and configure on any Windows, Mac, OS X and Linux systems.
Am I missing something here? Please explain.

It's not. Quite straightforward and good for novices. Some seem to think it's hard but that's never been my experience.

All operating systems can run PHP (required for Perch and WP). Try WAMP or MAMP and you'll be up and running in minutes.

Did it say why? Doesn't take much to run Perch. It's quite a lightweight CMS.
Was it simply that PHP 5.2+ is not yet installed? That's easily fixed.
31. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 22, 2012 10:24 PM (in response to John Waller)yes, I'm downloading now. Hopefully that is all it was. It seemed like this was the only error, however it was not so clear. I will run a test after i have downloaded MAMP.
32. Re: CMS for CS.5
martcol Jul 22, 2012 11:15 PM (in response to John Waller)I found Wordpress really challenging but when I started out I was still only just learning. Since then Wordpress has got better but if anything, it is more complex. If you want to get a site going quickly and are content to use someone else's theme you can get publishing content within a half hour. For that matter, so could your client.
I have just finished a Wordpress site. It was me that talked the client in to having it over a static site. I'm now on about day 5 of showing this person how to use it. Yes, with a combination of evenings, weekends, txt & email, 5 full days!
If you want to run Wordpress you need to firstly, understand the template hierarchy, work out how to make different content pages say, by using categories and learn about how to make it as secure as you can. You might be well advised to have a look at child themes too.
I reckon all of that is about as much as I've worked out for myself. The amount of online support available is astonishing. However, depending on what you want to do and your level of knowledge it still isn't all easy to grasp.
For my next project, my client wants the ability to edit now and again. I'm going to go with Concrete5 I think.
PS all of the CMSs I've looked at run on PHP. There are other options but I thought PHP was everywhere? It might not be on your own system but as someone has already indicated, you can install it easy enough. Your client should not need to install anything.
33. Re: CMS for CS.5
Renskins Jul 22, 2012 11:26 PM (in response to martcol)thanks I fixed it. I downloaded PHP, created a new database on my server and the test came back positive this time. I like perch because the video tutorials have made so much more sense than any of the other CMS packages I have looked at and it seems so much cheaper as well.
I will give it go and see how it works out. thanks for your feedback
34. Re: CMS for CS.5
osgood_ Jul 23, 2012 4:27 AM (in response to Renskins)Perch 2 has just been released and the pages UI is a massive step forward from v1. For ease of use and pricing it's the best in its category on the market. You can be editing pages in a matter of minutes using the friendly <perch tags> which you just replace your content with. You can build 'custom' templates if you require to do so which automates the process a bit more. Adding/Deleting pages is a breeze.

1. You will labor intensively to implement the CMS and train the client how to use it (this regardless of which CMS you choose)
2. Your client will return to you to make each change to the site
Jus' sayin'....

I agree. It's a question of better the devil you know when it comes to CMS's. I'd rather not integrate any CMS into a website if I'm honest. Depending on the degree to which the client wants to update the site depends on its success or failure. What bugs me is in my time as a DTP operator no client ever said 'hey I have a fresh copy of Quark Express, toss over your well planned and finished design and let me make the final edits'......... can you imagine the mess they would likely make. Websites are no different.....why let an untrained monkey loose with something which 1) They don't know how to use and 2) can't be bothered to spend time learning how to use it.
I guess the way to go would be to give the client something, restricted access to limited sections of the site like 'news updates' etc. Once they want full access to every page, image uploads, etc etc its likey to be more trouble than its worth.
I built a search/image library for a client at the begining of the year where they could upload the images and input the details about the image for their clients to search for and download in hi-res. I jumped through hoops getting this thing working and they haven't used it because they claim uploading a few images were too time consuming and difficult.

That's exactly where I'm at.
38. Re: CMS for CS.5
MurraySummers Jul 23, 2012 5:28 AM (in response to martcol)The upside is that it's incrementally easier to make most changes using the CMS (and you *can* do this in an internet cafe, for example), than it is to find the page, open it, make the change, save it and upload the changes. Note that I said "incrementally" easier. In other words, I wouldn't do this for that reason alone.

Calabria Best Wines
Calabria once called ENOTRIA (land of wines) is rich of wine with a typical Mediterranian taste.
Some vineyards are very ancient, backing up to the Greek colonies that brought them from their land,started producing here and that today still continue giving wine. The wine was offered to the winners of the Olimpic games in ancient Greece while to the God "Bacco" were dedicated Temples
The people of this region has been able to collect in the passing of years experience of incalculable value in the acknowledge and techniques of the vineyards.
Still today a characteristic is that every family has its own wine produced with the traditional methods. Plenty business point on the quality using scientific methods in the phase of producing the wine.
Thanks to experience of some leader ships of business after years of experiments today we can say that we can count on the high quality
Today in Calabria the production is of 12 wines with the trade mark DOC that are 20% of the entire production. The surface of the area interested is equal to 18thousand hectare 20% plane land, 65% hills,15% mountain. On the Ionian coast and the inner part ,up to the Sila, between Ciro' and Isola Capo Rizzuto we find Vineyards of "Gaglioppo" the one used for the wine "Ciro'". Further down south near Bianco up to Aspromonte we find Greek vineyards . In the area of Lamezia we find the traditional Grapes Nevello Mascalese that gives a special taste to this type of wine.

I had a chance to visit Italy last fall. Could you tell me what kind of wine is typically served in the restaurants when you request a red wine or house wine? Also what kind of red wine is served in the private homes in the Cosenza area? Thank you.

How To Get Rid Of Phosphates
Phosphate is a chemical that most commonly used in fertilizing plants. If you are keeping a garden, then you most probably have used phosphate to make your lawn grow more luscious. However, although phosphates can help in developing plants, it might also contribute in allowing growth of unwanted algae. If you have a pool or pond in your home, then you know how unwanted these algae can be. They make your pool water become unclear and dirty. So if you want these algae to go away, then you should get rid of phosphates first.
Removing phosphates requires effort but it is actually not too difficult. You will most likely need to get things from the hardware store first before you can really get rid of the phosphates. Even though the phosphate removal treatment may cause you to spend some bucks, it is well worth it. So if you want to keep your pool clean and clear, here are some things that you can follow to get rid of phosphates.
Get phosphate treatments
Before you can administer your phosphate removal, you will first need to buy and get the materials that you will need in treating your pool. You should first get DPD colorimetric tester and lanthanum carbonate phosphate remover. You can get these things from the hardware or pool supply store.
Test your pool's chlorine level
You cannot actually just use phosphate removers to clean up your pool, you need to test the water first and determine its chlorine level. To do this, get the DPD colorimetric tester that you have bought. This tester usually comes with a color strip or chart and other solutions.
So first, get test water from the pool using the test vial. Get the R-0001 solution and add a drop of it to the test vial. Add another drop from the R-0002 solution. Wait for a couple of seconds for the solution to turn into a different color. Then, get the color strip or chart and compare the color of the solution. From comparing them, you will determine the chlorine level of the water from your pool. If it turns out to be less than 3 parts per million, then you should not use the phosphate remover.
Clean up your pool
If the amount of phosphate is not too much, then you can opt to drain the water from your pool and clean it up. This will help remove dirt, algae and phosphorus chemicals that may have stick to your pool. After you have cleaned it up, you can just refill the pool with clean water.
To prevent the buildup of phosphate, remember to clean your pool regularly.
Use phosphate remover
If the chlorine level is higher than 3 parts, then you may have to use the phosphate remover. Be sure to get the lanthanum carbonate-based remover because it is the one that removes phosphates very effectively. You can just read the directions on the product's label to see how it is applied. Remember to carefully add the product to your pool to avoid any damage.
Consult a professional
If you are wary about treating your pool by yourself, then you can consult a professional pool cleaner. Of course, you will need to pay him some cash, but rest assured, the phosphate will be removed without too much effort on your part.

They also asked what I planned on cooking for dinner
tonight. I had to think fast and
strategize! I was not sure what I
had in the refrigerator, I now have both kids with me all day, my daughter's
nap to consider, my son's basketball class later this afternoon, and I wanted
to run for 30 minutes.
With all this on the itinerary today, tonight's healthy
family dinner is whole grain breaded tilapia with steamed broccoli on the
side. After naptime and before
basketball, we took a field trip to the local fish store! Going to the fish store is always a fun
activity. My kids love watching the lobsters and crabs swim in the tank and the sleeping fish on ice (I don't
have the heart to tell them the truth about the fish). My daughter walked out of the fish store whispering, "nighty night."
Watching the crabs swim and move their claws. So fun! |
Here is my Whole Grain Breaded Tilapia Recipe. My family LOVES this delicious, fast (literally 15 minutes from start to finish), easy, and healthy recipe.
Ingredients for a family of 4:
1 ½ lbs tilapia (have the store take off the skin and cut
the fish into 4 filets)
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper- freshly grinded right onto the fish
1/3 cup whole grain bread crumbs or panko crumbs
2 tbsp olive oil
1.) Season
both sides of tilapia with salt and pepper.
2.) In
a medium bowl, pour breadcrumbs.
3.) Dip
fish into breadcrumbs and cover completely.
4.) In
a large frying pan, heat olive oil on medium high heat and add fish for 3 minutes on
each side or until the fish is completely cooked through.
My son loves to dip the filets in the breadcrumbs. Get messy! Have fun! And eat healthy!
Tonight's delicious, healthy, and quick meal! |

While this is not likely to be true at launch, within a year or so Parrot should be happy to load Perl5 code therefore making the majority (if not the entirety, depending on how XS dependant modules are handled) of CPAN available to Perl6.
Implementing that is definitely not trivial. I think it is more likely that they will end up providing *some* support for XS modules, with the recommendation that we use the new system. Some will not be able to rely upon this emulation layer and it will not move to perl6 until they are really motivated. Continuations and closures alone, won't cut it. If it were so, all those proprietary, never seen by CPAN but running in production environments XS modules, were written in Lisp/Scheme by now In reply to Re: Re: Re: Perl 6 feature that scares me the most:

Bowling? But seriously, the story of Bill Fong has it all: ups, downs, more downs, family ambivalence, redemption and a near brush with glory.AdvertisementWhen Fong was young, his parents divorced. He remembers the man who would become his stepdad taking his mom out on dates to a local bowling alley, where they could bring the kids. He noticed that when he was bowling, he wasn't thinking about whatever was going on behind him. His mind could focus on the ball, the lane, the pins-and the rest of the world would disappear. He had never been captivated by anything like that.While still courting Fong's mother, his stepdad promised that if the boy ever got a score higher than 120 he'd buy him his own ball. "He never did," Fong says. "I bought it myself."After his mother remarried and moved away, he still had his siblings, his quiet, hard-working father, and his bowling. He joined the high school team. He went to the public library and checked out stacks of books about bowling theory. After a stint in college, he found himself smoking a lot of pot and staying out all night bowling, trying to hustle people out of small bets. He'd leave the alley after the sun came up, go out to breakfast, sleep until 6 pm, and then repeat the process.Fong was in the middle of a perfect series—three straight perfect games bowled, a rarity only achieved 21 times—when he possibly had a stroke. Well, he definitely had a stroke, but it may or may not have started toward the very end of his third game. In that third game, on the last frame, he rolled his final ball, in front of a huge crowd that had gathered and watched as one pin, the ten pin, stayed upright—ending his quest for 900 at 899.AdvertisementGo ahead and check it out, it's a good read.

Audio Samples
Track List
Album Notes
Personnel: Mike Patton (vocals); John Medeski (organ); Joey Baron (drums).
Audio Mixer: Marc Urselli.
Recording information: East Side Sound, New York, NY (10/2011-01/2012).
Arranger: John Zorn .
The sixth installment in John Zorn's Moonchild series centers around the mysterious, monastic cult of warriors known as the Knights Templar, who were established and recognized by the Catholic Church somewhere near 1128 and were excommunicated by Pope Clement V in 1312 for heresy (allegedly for overtly worshipping Baphomet, i.e. Satan). While the Moonchild trio has been a constant -- vocalist Mike Patton, drummer Joey Baron, and bassist Trevor Dunn -- they have been augmented from time to time. Here, John Medeski's organ makes them a quartet and it's a nice touch; Zorn's music for this cycle, while full of dynamic bursts of rock, jazz, and avant power, also evokes Roman Catholic liturgical music to great effect. Medeski's presence here paints moods and themes (check "Prophetic Souls") beautifully as Baron and Dunn create necessary architectures of dynamic tension and drama. Patton, however, has never been better than he is here. From taut spoken word narratives, hair-raising screaming, baritone murmurs, whispers, and even layered Gregorian chants ("Murder of the Magicians," which melds it to Morricone-esque spaghetti western music); he is a formidable catalyst for these proceedings. Another example is "Libera Me," where he uses a rather astonishing array of skills in one track. As such, of all the Moonchild releases, Templars: In Sacred Blood, is easily the most accessible, although relatively dark, it's a hell of a lot of fun. Even Zorn's lyrics are among the most poetic he's ever written; they follow a loose trajectory of historical and spiritual themes and still offer nods to his acidic sense of humor. His compositions are tight; they rarely give into the excesses that some of the other Moonchild projects have almost gleefully wallowed in. Templars: In Sacred Blood is a blast from top to bottom. ~ Thom Jurek

Discharge Instructions: Using a Jewett Brace
Your doctor has prescribed a Jewett brace for you. This back brace keeps your back in position while it is healing after surgery or injury. Wear your brace as directed by your doctor. Your doctor will tell you how often and for how long you should wear the brace each day.
Here's what you need to know about home care.
Arrange your household to keep the items you need handy. Keep everything else out of the way.
Keep your hands free by using a fanny pack, apron, or pockets to carry things.
Use a cane, crutches, walker, hand rails, or someone to help you until you have improved your balance, flexibility, and strength.
Remember, the brace will limit your ability to move in certain directions. You will not be able to sit in some types of chairs.
Don't bend or twist at the waist, or raise your hands over your head.
Don't lift anything heavier than 4 pounds for the first 2 weeks after your injury or surgery.
Skin care
Wear a T-shirt under the brace to protect your skin and absorb sweat.
Check for skin irritation and reddened areas after wearing the brace. You may need to have your brace adjusted, or you may need a different size.
Applying the brace
Apply the brace the way you were shown in the hospital. Remember: You will need help to properly apply the brace.
Move to one side of the bed by using your arms and legs to move your hips over, or by having a helper pull the sheet under you over to one side. Don't twist or move your back. Keep it straight.
Roll onto your side away from the edge of the bed. Try to keep your back straight. Roll like a log.
Have your helper position the front half of the brace while you are lying on your side. The upper pad should be across your breastbone and the lower pad across the front of your stomach.
Position the back of your brace. Have your helper hold the brace in place while you log-roll onto your back.
Attach the front and back of the brace. Pull the brace shut and tighten it with the key.
Make sure the brace is aligned before you try to stand.
Drop your legs over the side of the bed and push yourself up to a sitting position. Then slowly raise yourself to stand.
Follow-up care
Follow up with your healthcare provider, or as directed.
When to call your healthcare provider
Call your healthcare provider right away if any of these occur:
Sudden or increased shortness of breath
Sudden chest pain or localized chest pain with coughing
Fever above 100.4°F (38°C) or shaking chills
Increasing redness, tenderness, or swelling at the incision site
Drainage from the incision
Opening of the incision
Increasing pain with or without activity

So you may notice this is my first blog post in a couple of weeks. My goal is to post something interesting about team building ideas twice a week. But lately, every time I start to write I've been stymied and uninspired. I recently realized the reason has been that I'm thinking too hard. I'm now using ScribeSeo by copyblogger to help me optimize my posts for keywords around team building, creative team building ideas, etc. But now that I'm becoming aware of what I should be doing to gain strategic advantage, it's overtaken my usual ability to just express what I'm feeling about the work I do.
Late last night I realized I had to return to the essence of why I do all this. Because I'm passionate about creativity, innovation and helping groups integrate those attributes into their work life through corporate team building programs. This realization also reminded me of why our programs work – because team songwriting helps groups to get back to the essence of what they do, to the underlying motivation and mission that, in theory, should drive the every day experience…
Team Building Tune Up
So late last night I realized I really needed my own tune up. I needed to remember why I blog and why I love the work I do. I'm passionate about it because I genuinely love to help companies get in touch with what's really real – the meaning behind the day-to-day madness. The song creation process enables teams to distill a mass of information into a concise, meaningful message through song. And the process itself is fun, with equal doses of laughter, play and work.
Keeping It Real
If we can remember what's really important in our work, what motivates us; while having fun and also getting some real work done – well then we're really rocking – We'll be creative and efficient; innovative and effective. What could be better than that?

FXStreet (Moscow) - EUR/USD has rebounded from the pivotal level of 1.3546, but the upside momentum is too weak to get the pair well above 1.3560 resistance
Euro has the hope
Although the market is deeply absorbed by the speculations on the possible quantitative easing from the ECB, the Fed stance should not be overlooked as well. Although the regulator keeps tapering its asset purchase program according to the plan, it still shows great caution about the current economy slack, trying to hold back the expectations of a preliminary rate rise. Any new signs of weakness and remaining economic slack may remind the market of the still unstable positions of the USD, and this may give a hope to the euro.
What are today's key EUR/USD levels?
Today's central pivot point can be found at 1.3546, with support below at 1.3518, 1.3484 and 1.3456, with resistance above at 1.3580, 1.3608, and 1.3642. Hourly Moving Averages are mostly bullish, with the 200SMA at 1.3593 and the daily 20EMA at 1.3631. Hourly RSI is bullish at 58.

Today, our "Acquisition Solutions" address PBA plus so much more. We provide an array of services and solutions to help agencies achieve tangible and transformative improvements to acquisition processes, organizations, and results.
- How does your agency's policies, approaches and results compare with others across government?
- Are your approaches value-added or just added work?
- How do your agency's contracts support the needs, requirements, and spending patterns of your agency?
- Are you making the most strategic use of pre-existing contract vehicles?
- Are you optimizing your small business program?

Fakegate/Gleickgate – Global Warming's Piltdown Man
March 2, 2012 27 Comments
I'm going to repeat in every thread about this that the fraud is not that [Peter Gleick] got documents under false pretenses. That's investigative reporting and resourcefulness. HURRAH HURRAH HOO-RAH.
The fraud is that he took a document of unknown provenance (that he now says he got anonymously in the mail) and mixed it with documents of known provenance (the Heartland documents he used his fake identity to get) and then presented the resulting document collage to the press.
This is exactly the same as (not analogous to, but exactly the same as) having a fossil bone of unknown provenance, and then mixing that bone into the results of a documented dig. "Look! I found a new species!"
It's cut and dried Piltdown Man style fraud.
And furthermore many of us think Gleick faked the strategy memo his own self and "Anonymous" was his Lucy Ramirez.

God slipped away quietly, during third period physics class (thing)

Return to God slipped away quietly, during third period physics class (thing)
My mother was born in 1948 to a devout Catholic family. She was raised with Catholic schooling and Sunday mass. The same year, my father was born into a Jewish family. Instead of first communion like my mother, he got a bar mitzvah. For my brothers and I, growing up in our household was often confusing. Neither one of my parents gave up their faith. They loved each other but refused to convert for each other. Instead they just agreed to disagree. For the four of us children, we were made to attend Mass on the second and fourth Sunday of every month and then go to the Synagogue on Saturday of the first and third weekends. At the age of thirteen, our parents gave us the option of Judaism or Catholicism. My oldest brother Joshua chose Judaism. Marcus picked Catholicism. My younger brother Anthony chose Catholicism too. I, however, being the black sheep radical of the family, chose neither. Instead, I chose not to define myself except possibly as agnostic. To say the least, my mother was less than happy and chose to disrespect my choice. While my brothers were allowed to attend the service of their choice, I was still forced to alternate between the two. My Catholic grandfather was certain I was possessed and following Satan. My Jewish Grandma was bitter over only having one grandson follow her faith and openly blamed my father for marrying a woman outside of his faith. In all truth, I made my choice because I had just always known that I wasn't trusting what the people in either church were saying about this God character. No one could get their story straight. One day Jesus died on the cross for me and was my Lord and Savior and the next, Jesus was never a savior at all and only God was almighty. My father seemed to take it all in stride. When I had announced my decision, he came later that night to talk to me. He told me that, while he did not agree with my choice, he did respect this. He will never know how much that conversation meant to me. On my seventeenth birthday, I got a phone call from my mom telling me to leave school and take a bus to the hospital. "Don't ask questions now, just go," she told me. Upon my arrival, I was told by Joshua that my father had been in a horrible car wreck in the interstate and wasn't in good shape. He was slipping in and out of consciousness. The event struck me like nothing else before. That night, I asked Joshua to take me to the Temple. I prayed there like I had never prayed before. For the first time, I actually believed that maybe God was hearing what I was saying. I began to understand how it is that you cannot possibly understand or appreciate what you have until it's taken from you. Through everything, I finally realized what my father had meant to me. Here was the man that had taught me how to read and write, how to throw a baseball. The man who taught me how to say "you lazy bum" in Yiddish to insult my brothers. Here was the man who taught me how to drive, told me how to kiss my first girlfriend, told me that eventually, everything in life works out okay and everyone ends up happy, laying almost lifeless in a hospital bed. I prayed to his God, to my mom's God, but I still didn't know what to think. If there truly was a God, I didn't understand how He could do something like this, I just knew that I wanted Him to help fix things. My dad got worse over the next week or so. He went on a respirator full time and stopped responding to us. I went to visit alone with him one day after school. I held his hand and just told him everything I was thinking. I poured all my feelings, good and bad out to him. I admitted breaking the kitchen window when I was eight. I told him about the time Anthony and I took his Firebird for a joyride while he and mom were out of town. I kissed him on the forehead and said, "I love you. Please die soon." The next day at school, I got the call. God slipped away quietly,during third period physics class. He raised his arm up as if to wave good-bye and then he flat-lined. God died peacefully at age 52 in a hospital bed. My only regret from my time spent with him is that I never believed in him until he had already passed through my hands. | Existing:

The Ford (NYSE:F) Focus ST certainly made waves when it was debuted, as it should have. The hot hatch, a relatively minor segment on this side of the Atlantic, boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder unit, which is good for a healthy 252 horsepower and more than 30 miles per gallon the highway.
While the Focus ST showed Americans what Europeans have been enjoying for some time, it was only the first chapter of Ford's hot hatch playbook, and the company has just introduced Chapter Two: the Fiesta ST, which nestles comfortably below the Focus as a more entry-level friendly option.
Rather than the Focus's mental 250-plus horsepower unit, the Fiesta ST features a more civilized 197 horsepower, turbocharged 1.6-liter in-line four. That's still pretty potent for a car the size of the Fiesta — the power is sent to the front wheels. All told, the Fiesta ST weighs in at about 2,700 pounds.
