They fired her in two stages. First they took her show away -- due to its having a "too ethnic" viewership -- but claimed they weren't really firing her, because they were readying a primetime show for her.
Right. Her ratings were low in the morning but you're going to fail her up to primetime.
In addition, that always seemed to be a lie because they had already said they were moving Erin Burnett to primetime.
So essentially they fired her without saying so, and engineered a situation in which she'd have to "decide herself to leave," so that's what she's telling friends she plans to do, says the Post.

The best place to see giant pandas is surely at their hometown – Chengdu, at Bifengxia Giant Panda Base or Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. You can also see giant pandas in zoos of the following cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guilin and Hong Kong.
During daytime, it is best to visit during their meal or playing times. Early in the morning 08:30 to 10:30 is very suitable, when pandas come out to eat and play. March to May is the "falling in love period" for pandas, so baby pandas are usually born between June and September. If you come between September and December, you will have a greater chance of seeing cative baby pandas in the panda bases.
Wolong Panda Rearch Center and Dujiangyan Panda Base have the volunteer program and the program totake photos holding a panda. You can join a donation program that allows you to hold a panda next to you and take pictures with it for about 20 seconds. It is not included in the Panda Keeper Program. The donation amount is CNY1,800 per person [Sep. 2016].
Only 30 tourists are allowed to take close-up photos with pandas each day. This program is subject to the availability of pandas on that day. Please take enough CNY cash, as payment by a non-Chinese credit card is not accepted there.

Punitive Priorities

To be fair - how can they fleece the 300 block with their new meters if they can't control what they already have on their plate?
... and the company they hire will be also gleaning a percentage !
i'm sorry but the fines and taxes in this friendly berg is not friendly to say the least for those that live here and actually contribute to Hudsons prosperity.Maybe if i didn't live on Warren Street I'd feel differently about this cat and mouse game.
In 2001 the HPD approved a parking space in the alley behind my building.
In 2010 I received a ticket for parking in the alley behind my building claiming they had no record of approval for me - so pay the fine.
Apparently no parking is allowed in the alley now - except for Verizon, the HPD and dumpsters - thank you.

Tagalog (pronounced /təˈɡɑːlɒɡ/ in English)[3] is an Austronesian language spoken in the Philippines by about 22 million people.[1] It is related to Austronesian languages such as Indonesian, Malay, Javanese and Paiwan (of Taiwan), Cham (of Vietnam and Cambodia), and Tetum (of East Timor). It is the first language of the Philippines' Region IV (CALABARZON and MIMAROPA) and is the basis[4] for the national and the official language of the Philippines, Filipino.[5]
Contents |
The word Tagalog derived from tagailog, from tagá- meaning "native of" and ílog meaning "river." Thus, it means "river dweller." Very little is known about the history of the language. However, according to linguists such as Dr. David Zorc and Dr. Robert Blust, the Tagalogs originated, along with their Central Philippine cousins, from Northeastern Mindanao or Eastern Visayas.[6][7]
The first written record of Tagalog is in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription, written in the year 900 and uses fragments of the language along with Sanskrit, Malay, and Javanese. Meanwhile, the first known book to be written in Tagalog is the Doctrina Cristiana (Christian Doctrine) of 1593. It was written in Spanish and two versions of Tagalog; one written in the Baybayin script and the other in the Latin alphabet. Throughout the 333 years of Spanish occupation, there were grammar and dictionaries written by Spanish clergymen such as Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala by Pedro de San Buenaventura (Pila, Laguna, 1613), Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1835) and Arte de la lengua tagala y manual tagalog para la administración de los Santos Sacramentos (1850). Poet Francisco Baltazar (1788–1862) is regarded as the foremost Tagalog writer. His most famous work is the early 19th-century Florante at Laura.
In 1937, Tagalog was selected as the basis of the national language of the Philippines by the National Language Institute. In 1939, Manuel L. Quezon named the national language "Wikang Pambansâ" ("National Language").[8] Twenty years later, in 1959, it was renamed by then Secretary of Education, José Romero, as Pilipino to give it a national rather than ethnic label and connotation. The changing of the name did not, however, result in acceptance among non-Tagalogs, especially Cebuanos who had not accepted the selection.[9]
In 1971, the language issue was revived once more, and a compromise solution was worked out—a "universalist" approach to the national language, to be called Filipino rather than Pilipino. When a new constitution was drawn up in 1987, it named Filipino as the national language.[9] The constitution specified that as the Filipino language evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.
Tagalog is a Central Philippine language within the Austronesian language family. Being Malayo-Polynesian, it is related to other Austronesian languages such as Javanese, Indonesian, Malay,Cham (of Vietnam and Cambodia), Tetum (of East Timor), and Paiwan (of Taiwan). It is closely related to the languages spoken in the Bicol and Visayas regions such as Bikol and the Visayan group including Hiligaynon, Waray-Waray, and Cebuano.
Languages that have made significant contributions to Tagalog are especially Spanish and English and also Arabic, Sanskrit, Old Malay, Chinese, Javanese.
At present, no comprehensive dialectology has been done in the Tagalog-speaking regions, though there have been descriptions in the form of dictionaries and grammars on various Tagalog dialects. Ethnologue lists Lubang, Manila, Marinduque, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Tanay-Paete, and Tayabas as dialects of Tagalog. However, there appear to be four main dialects of which the aforementioned are a part; Northern (exemplified by the Bulacan dialect), Central (including Manila), Southern (exemplified by Batangas), and Marinduque.
Some example of dialectal differences are:
Perhaps the most divergent Tagalog dialects are those spoken in Marinduque. Linguist Rosa Soberano identifies two dialects, western and eastern with the former being closer to the Tagalog dialects spoken in the provinces of Batangas and Quezon.
One example are the verb conjugation paradigms. While some of the affixes are different, Marinduque also preserves the imperative affixes, also found in Visayan and Bikol languages, that have mostly disappeared from most Tagalog dialects by the early 20th century; they have since merged with the infinitive.
Manileño Tagalog | Marinduque Tagalog | English |
Susulat sina Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan. | Másúlat da Maria at Fulgencia kay Juan. | "Maria and Fulgencia will write to Juan." |
Mag-aaral siya sa Maynila. | Gaaral siya sa Maynila. | "He will study in Manila." |
Magluto ka! | Pagluto! | "Cook!" |
Kainin mo iyan. | Kaina yaan. | "Eat that." |
Tinatawag tayo ni Tatay. | Inatawag nganì kitá ni Tatay. | "Father is calling us." |
Tutulungan ba kayó ni Hilario? | Atulungan ga kamo ni Hilario? | "Will Hilario help you (pl.)?" |
Northern dialects and the central dialects are the basis for the national language.
The Tagalog homeland, or Katagalugan, covers roughly much of the central to southern parts of the island of Luzon - particularly in Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, Rizal, and large parts of Zambales. Tagalog is also spoken natively by inhabitants living on the islands, Marinduque, Mindoro, and large areas of Palawan. It is spoken by approximately 64.3 million Filipinos, 96.4% of the household population.[10] 21.5 million, or 28.15% of the total Philippine population,[11] speak it as a native language.
Tagalog speakers are found in other parts of the Philippines as well as throughout the world, though its use is usually limited to communication between Filipino ethnic groups. In 2003, the US Census bureau reported (based on data from the 2000 census) that it was the sixth most-spoken language in the United States, with over 1.2 million speakers.[12]
Tagalog was declared the official language by the first constitution in the Philippines, the Constitution of Biak-na-Bato in 1897.[13]
In 1935, the Philippine constitution designated English and Spanish as official languages, but mandated the development and adoption of a common national language based on one of the existing native languages.[14] After study and deliberation, the National Language Institute, a committee composed of seven members who represented various regions in the Philippines, chose Tagalog as the basis for the evolution and adoption of the national language of the Philippines.[9][15] President Manuel L. Quezon then, on December 30, 1937, proclaimed the selection of the Tagalog language to be used as the basis for the evolution and adoption of the national language of the Philippines.[15] In 1939 President Quezon renamed the proposed Tagalog-based national language as wikang pambansâ (national language).[9] In 1939, the language was further renamed as "Pilipino".[9]
The 1973 constitution designated the Tagalog-based "Pilipino", along with English, as an official language and mandated the development and formal adoption of a common national language to be known as Filipino.[16] The 1987 constitution designated Filipino as the national language, mandating that as it evolves, it shall be further developed and enriched on the basis of existing Philippine and other languages.[5]
As Filipino, Tagalog has been taught in schools throughout the Philippines. It is the only one out of over 170 Philippine languages that is officially used in schools and businesses, (info from culturegrams)[citation needed] though Article XIV, Section 7 of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines does specify, in part:
Subject to provisions of law and as the Congress may deem appropriate, the Government shall take steps to initiate and sustain the use of Filipino as a medium of official communication and as language of instruction in the educational system.[5]
The regional languages are the auxiliary official languages in the regions and shall serve as auxiliary media of instruction therein.[5]
Other Philippine languages have influenced Filipino, primarily through migration from the provinces to Metro Manila of speakers of those other languages.
Besides the Philippines, the language enjoys relative minority status in Canada, the United Kingdom, and also Hong Kong, where street signs commonly display the language. In the United States, the language is used in censuses and elections.[17]
Taglish and Englog are portmanteaus given to a mix of English and Tagalog. The amount of English vs.Tagalog varies from the occasional use of English loan words to outright code-switching where the language changes in mid-sentence. Such code-switching is prevalent throughout the Philippines and in various of the languages of the Philippines other than Tagalog.
Code Mixing also entails the use of foreign words that are Filipinized by reforming them using Filipino rules, such as verb conjugations. Users typically use Filipino or English words, whichever comes to mind first or whichever is easier to use.
Although it is generally looked down upon, code-switching is prevalent in all levels of society; however, city-dwellers, the highly educated, and people born around and after World War II are more likely to do it. Politicians as highly placed as President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo have code-switched in interviews.
The practice is common in television, radio, and print media as well. Advertisements from companies like Wells Fargo, Wal-Mart, Albertsons, McDonald's, and Western Union have contained Taglish.
The Chinese and the non-Tagalog communities in the Philippines also frequently code-switch their language, be it Cebuano or Min Nan Chinese, with Taglish.

Tagalog has 32 phonemes: 21 of them are consonants, 5 are vowels, and 6 are dipthongs.[18] Syllable structure is relatively simple. Each syllable contains at least a consonant and a vowel,[19] and begins in at most one consonant, except for borrowed words such as trak which means "truck", or tsokolate meaning "chocolate".
Before appearing in the coastal region of Manila, Tagalog had three vowel phonemes: /a/, /i/, and /u/. This was later expanded to five vowels with the introduction of Kapampangan and Spanish words.
They are:
There are six main diphthongs; /ai/, /ei/, /oi/, /ui/, /au/, and /iu/.[18][19]
Below is a chart of Tagalog consonants. All the stops are unaspirated. The velar nasal occurs in all positions including at the beginning of a word.

Stress is phonemic in Tagalog. Primary stress occurs on either the last or the next-to-the-last (penultimate) syllable of a word. Vowel lengthening accompanies primary or secondary stress except when stress occurs at the end of a word. Stress on words is highly important, since it differentiates words with the same spellings, but with different meanings, e.g. tayô(to stand) and tayo(us; we)
Tagalog differs from its Central Philippine counterparts with its treatment of the Proto-Philippine schwa vowel *ə. In Bikol & Visayan, this sound merged with /u/ and [o]. In Tagalog, it has merged with /i/. For example, Proto-Philippine *dəkət (adhere, stick) is Tagalog dikít and Visayan & Bikol dukot.
Proto-Philippine *r, *j, and *z merged with /d/ but is /l/ between vowels. Proto-Philippine *nɡajan (name) and *hajək (kiss) became Tagalog ngalan and halík.
Proto-Philippine *R merged with /ɡ/. *tubiR (water) and *zuRuʔ (blood) became Tagalog tubig and dugô.
Tagalog was written in an abugida, or alphasyllabary, called Baybayin prior to the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, in the 16th century. This particular writing system was composed of symbols representing three vowels and 14 consonants. Belonging to the Brahmic family of scripts, it shares similarities with the Old Kawi script of Java and is believed to be descended from the script used by the Bugis in Sulawesi.
Although it enjoyed a relatively high level of literacy, Baybayin gradually fell into disuse in favor of the Latin alphabet taught by the Spaniards during their rule.
There has been confusion of how to use Baybayin, which is actually an abugida, or an alphasyllabary, rather than an alphabet. Not every letter in the Latin alphabet is represented with one of those in the Baybayin alphasyllabary. Rather than letters being put together to make sounds as in Western languages, Baybayin uses symbols to represent syllables.
A "kudlit" resembling an apostrophe is used above or below a symbol to change the vowel sound after its consonant. If the kudlit is used above, the vowel is an "E" or "I" sound. If the kudlit is used below, the vowel is an "O" or "U" sound. A special kudlit was later added by Spanish missionaries in which a cross placed below the symbol to get rid of the vowel sound all together, leaving a consonant. Previously, the final vowel was just left out, leaving the reader to use context to determine the final vowels.
Baybayin is encoded in Unicode version 3.2 in the range 1700-171F under the name "Tagalog".
Until the first half of the 20th century, Tagalog was widely written in a variety of ways based on Spanish orthography. When the national language was based on Tagalog, grammarian Lope K. Santos introduced a new alphabet consisting of 20 letters called ABAKADA in school grammar books called balarilà:
In 1987 the department of Education, Culture and Sports issued a memo stating that the Philippine alphabet had changed from the Pilipino-Tagalog Abakada version to a new 28-letter alphabet:
to make room for loans, especially family names from Spanish and English.[25]
The genitive marker ng and the plural marker mga are abbreviations that are pronounced nang [naŋ] and mangá [mɐˈŋa]. Ng, in most cases, roughly translates to "of" (ex. Siya ay kapatid ng nanay ko. She is the sibling of my mother) while nang usually means "when" or can describe how something is done or to what extent, among other uses. Mga (pronounced as "muh-NGA") denotes plurality as adding an s, es, or ies does in English (ex. Iyan ang mga damit ko. (Those are my clothes)).
In the first example, nang is used in lieu of the word noóng (when; Noong si Hudas ay madulas). In the second, nang describes that the person woke up (gumising) early (maaga); gumising nang maaga. In the third, nang described up to what extent that Juan improved (gumaling), which is "greatly" (nang todo). In the latter two examples, the ligature na and its variants -ng and -g may also be used (Gumising na maaga/Maagang gumising; Gumaling na todo/Todong gumaling).
The longer nang may also have other uses, such as a ligature that joins a repeated word:
The po and opo are the traditionally used as polite words. It is mostly used for talking to elderly. (ex. Paki tapon naman po yung basura. - Please throw the trashes). The word opo can be used as yes. (ex. Gutom ka na ba? Opo. - Are you hungry? Yes). Also, po can be used for negation. (ex. Hindi ko po alam yan. - I don't know that).
Spanish is the language that has bequeathed the most loan words to Tagalog. According to linguists, Spanish (5,000) has even surpassed Bahasa (3,500) in terms of loan words borrowed. About 40% of everyday (informal) Tagalog conversation is practically made up of Spanish loanwords.[citation needed]
Tagalog vocabulary is composed mostly of words of Austronesian origin with borrowings from Japanese, Sanskrit, Min Nan Chinese (also known as Hokkien), Javanese, Malay, Arabic, languages spoken on Luzon, and others, especially other Austronesian languages.
Due to trade with Mexico via the Manila galleon from the 16th to the 19th centuries, many words from Nahuatl, a language spoken by Native Americans in Mexico, were introduced to Tagalog.
English has borrowed some words from Tagalog, such as abaca, barong, balisong, boondocks, jeepney, Manila hemp, pancit, ylang ylang, and yaya, although the vast majority of these borrowed words are only used in the Philippines as part of the vocabularies of Philippine English.[citation needed]
Other examples of Tagalog words used in English:
Yo-yo is reportedly a Tagalog word; however, no such word exists in Tagalog. In fact it is a word that came to the occidental culture through Filipinas in the spanish period, but its origin is chinese.
Tagalog has contributed several words to Philippine Spanish, like barangay (from balan͠gay, meaning barrio), the abacá, cogon, palay, dalaga etc.
For the Min Nan Chinese borrowings, the parentheses indicate the equivalent in standard Chinese.

Religious Literature remains to be one of the most dynamic contributors to Tagalog literature. In 1970, the Philippine Bible Society translated the Bible into Tagalog, the first full translation to any of the Philippine languages. Even before the Second Vatican Council, devotional materials in Tagalog had been circulating. At present, there are three circulating Tagalog translations of the Holy Bible—the Magandang Balita Biblia (a parallel translation of the Good News Bible), which is the ecumenical version; the Ang Biblia, which is a more Protestant version published in 1909; and the Bagong Sanlibutang Salin ng Banal na Kasulatan, one of about sixty parallel translations of the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures published by Jehovah's Witnesses. The latter was released in the year 2000. Jehovah's Witnesses previously published a hybrid translation: Ang Biblia was used for the Old Testament, while the Bagong Sanlibutang Salin was used for the New Testament.
When the Second Vatican Council, (specifically the Sacrosanctum Concilium) permitted the universal prayers to be translated into vernacular languages, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines was one of the first to translate the Roman Missal into Tagalog. In fact, the Roman Missal in Tagalog was published as early as 1982, while not published in English until 1985.
Jehovah's Witnesses were printing Tagalog literature at least as early as 1941[26] and The Watchtower (the primary magazine of Jehovah's Witnesses) has been published in Tagalog since at least the 1960s. New releases are now regularly released simultaneously in a number of languages, including Tagalog. The official website of Jehovah's Witnesses also has some publications available online in Tagalog. [1]
Tagalog is quite a stable language, and very few revisions have been made to Catholic Bible translations. Also, as Protestantism in the Philippines is relatively young, liturgical prayers tend to be more ecumenical.
Isinilang na malaya at pantáy-pantáy sa karangalan at mga karapatán ang lahát ng tao. Pinagkalooban silá ng katwiran at budhi at dapat magpalagayan ang isá't isá sa diwa ng pagkakapatiran.
(Every person is born free and equal with honor and rights. They are given reason and conscience and they must always trust each other for the spirit of brotherhood.)

Filipino is the national language of the Philippines. More or less the standard version of Tagalog, based on Tagalog (which in turn is partially based on the Malay language), Spanish, and English, Filipino is spoken by about 90 million people worldwide. The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence Jill gives the book to Tom in Tagalog can't tell who's giving to whom without the personal markers si and ni. If an actor focus verb is used, Jill becomes si Jill (the subject), and Tom becomes ni Tom (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then si and ni are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog.
Notably missing in Tagalog are the to be verbs, such as am, are, is, etc. This can be overcome in one of several ways:
The good news regarding word order in Filipino is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences -- like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that proper word order has a steep learning curve and can even be affected by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. For example, "I accidentally spilled something" is all one very long, tongue-twisting word in Filipino.
Abbreviation (ng and mga) Two very common words are always abbreviated:
Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ng on a few words such as ngiti (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese) Filipino is NOT tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as desert/dessert). Meanings in such cases can be either closely related such as buhay (alive or life), or totally unrelated such as hapon (afternoon or Japan).
Some phrases in this phrasebook still need to be translated. If you know anything about this language, you can help by plunging forward and translating a phrase.
Two ways to state YES and NO In Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way.
Oo (Yes, I am
not married.)
Add po at (or near) the end of a sentence or question to make it formal and polite. Exception: after an interrogative po immediately follows. Sino po siya? Who is he/she? (formal) It is important to note that "opo" (po) and "oho" (ho) are only used to be polite to one's elders. Ho (not used in this phrasebook) is a dialectal version of po and can virtually always be interchanged with it. Although its use is very limited in Manila and the Northern Katagalugan (The Tagalog Homeland), many people use it in Southern Luzon, especially in Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. Po (or Ho) and Opo (or Oho) is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors. Po (and ho) are incompatible with ka and ikaw (use kayo) and with mo (use nila).
Note: As shown above, markers (Si / Ni / Kay) are mandatory before a person's name -- no exceptions (other than one word answers, and after ay)
"Who does this belong to?" may be answered with either "It is
John's" "Kay John" or "John's bag" Bag
ni John.
Like English, there is no gender assigned to common nouns, including those of Spanish origin. The only exception is Spanish-origin words refering to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (ang, ng, etc.) is gender neutral. Example: Ang abogado/a The lawyer or attorney (m/f). Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender neutral than English. Example: kapatid brother or sister.
For plurals, add mga immediately before the noun. Example: Mga hayop Animals. Adding "_s" does not make anything plural, and is sometimes used on Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: mansanas apple; mga mansanas apples (from Spanish manzana) .
One point of confusion is the word Filipinas. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of Philippine females.
Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article na which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. Madumi na. [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as na or pa is required when no noun follows the adjective. Na is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than pa, but both have similar usage.
Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix Ma, such as Dumi (dirt) becoming Madumi (dirty).
Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. Na (not the same na as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and _ng is used if it ends in a vowel. Magandang babae (beautiful girl). Malinis na kusina (clean kitchen).
Note: Tagalog always refers to what's burning and not the flames. Fire (controlled or in abstract) : Apoy
Note: In some cases Spanish numbers (with Filipino spelling) are used.
For numbers above 10, Spanish is frequently used.
"ng" is pronounced 'nang' (rhymes with sang)
A vowel ending number must be suffixed with "-ng" while consonant-ending numbers must be followed by "na", e.g. isaNG minuto (one minute) or apat NA minuto (four minutes).
The Filipino language borrowed its terms for the days of the week and months of the year from the Spanish language.
Dates can be written as follows:
Times are written as in English (as in 6:23 AM) but are spoken as in Spanish.
Most Philippine road signs are in English.

How to create a subscribe form for your phpList mailing list
If you're following along in our phpList tutorial, we previously have installed phpList and created a mailing list that users can subscribe to. The next step is to actually create a form that allows users to subscribe to your list. For example, in the right sidebar of your website, you may have an area where it says, "Subscribe to our mailing list!" and then asks for the user's email address. We will create that form in this tutorial.
There are two approches to this step, depening on how much you want to customize the subscription page. The first step we'll outline below is the easiest method, while the second approach gives you much more control over how your sign up for looks.
Sign up form 1 - A separate signup page
To create a subscribe page, follow these steps:
- Log into your phpList admin page (if you're following along with our tutorial, we go to phplist.inmotiontesting.com/phplist/admin )
- Click "subscribe pages" in the right sidebar
- Click the "add a new one" link at the bottom of the page
- The page you're looking at now gives you many options. If you have html experience, you can customize the header and footer of the page so it matches the layout of your own website. In our example, we did a very basic subscribe page. Here are the settings we used:
Title: Mailing List 3 Language File
to us:english Select the lists
to offer:We selected, "Mailing list 3, this is our 3rd test Mailing list". - Click "Save and Activate".
- After you've saved your changes, it will bring you back to a page that lists all of your subscribe pages. Find the subscribe page you just created, and click the "view" link next to it.
- In our example, our subscribe page URL is http://***.***.com/phplist/?p=subscribe&id=1 and it looks like this:
On your website, you can now link to your custom subscribe page so your users can sign up for your mailing list!
Sign up form 2 - Integrating your Signup form on a current page
In our example, we'd like to incorporate the signup form into our WordPress sidebar. In this way users don't need to leave the current page, and they can easily sign up for our mailing list from any page in our site that shows the sidebar.
- If you haven't already, create a custom subscribe page as we have described above. After you have created the subscribe page, visit the URL. In this example, we'll visit http://***.***.com/phplist/?p=subscribe&id=1.
- We will be copying the form code created by phpList. View the current page's source code, and copy the code that begins with <form and ends with /form> into an editor on your computer, such as notepad in windows. In our example, the code we copied is:
- Next, you'll need to update the form action to point to your actual subscribe page. In this step, you'll be updating the code that you copied into a text editor. The original code will look like this:
<form method=post name="subscribeform">
You need to add an 'action' attribute and point it to your subscribe page. In our example, the updated code looks like this:
<form method=post name="subscribeform" action="http://phplist.inmotiontesting.com/phplist/?p=subscribe&id=1"> - You now have the necessary code to use on your site to insert into your subscribe form! In our WordPress site, we copied the code into a new Text widget:
- The code used by phpList for the subscribe form uses tables, which doesn't always look nice (see the before and after images below). If you are familiar with html code, you can edit the code you pasted in step 4 above so the form looks better with your site:

- - What are you thankful for?
What are you thankful for? As one gets older, the simple things in life are more appreciated. When I was young, I sprang out of bed in the morning with little thought of how good I felt or how wonderful the day would be. It is different now that I am older. Now, when I get up in the morning, I thank God for being able to open my eyes, and stand up with not too much pain. Having had Cancer puts life in perspective as well. I might not have been here anymore at all. These past 3 days have been like a little taste of Heaven. The weather has been amazing, especially for Wisconsin in March. Usually we are still buried under snow and might still be below zero. These past few days have been in the high 70's to low 80's not humid, gentle breeze. I have woke up in the morning to the most amazing chorus of birds singing that "spring is here" song that I LOVE so much. I woke up and Thanked God that I could hear that, that I didn't have to have either the air conditioner or the heater on and that I had the days off to enjoy. The biggest thing is that I was able to get up without too much pain. My feet hurt as usual but I don't have to be standing on them all day today so that is great. Right now the boys are outside in the yard galloping about tugging on an old mountain climbing rope that I have out there as a toy. The birds are still singing that song and the gentle breeze is coming in through the open window. The fishtanks are clean and doing well. Life is good. What are you thankful for today? |
I'm thankful for my family, even though they can Ba a pain sometimes. Lol I'm thankful for the nice weather. I'm thankful for all the things I take for granted like a roof over my head and having enough to eat when so many people don't |
Well said, so many of us take things for granted. I am also thankful for my plants in my tank that I have worked so hard to get back. I am sad to say, today I see all kinds of little snails.. YiKES!!!! I hope they don't eat my plants. :shock: I am also very thankful for this forum and all the knowledgeable people here willing to help others. Thanks guys, you are GREAT! |
That's another thing I'm thankful for, this forum. I've met so many nice people and I have learner a lot. |
I am thankful for my family and friends and I am thankful that they are doing well. I am thankful for our cozy house and the haven it is to us. Getting back into my lifelong aquarium hobby and connecting with so many nice considerate people on this forum are things that I'm very thankful to have experienced. And I'm thankful that the University Of Cincinnati Bearcats are in the Sweet Sixteen ! |

Panagia Tsambika
Location: Tsambika
The Monastery of Panagia Tsambika in Rhodes, Dodecanese: The Monastery of Panagia Tsambika is located about 25 km south of Rhodes Town, between Kolymbia and Archangelos. The old monastery of Tsambika is built on top of a hill with gorgeous view to the sea and the surrounding area, while the new monastery, which works today, is found on the road that connects Archangelos to Rhodes Town.
It is not known when the old monastery was founded, but we know that it was reconstructed in 1770 by a monk. Some resources mention that the an altar to goddess Artemis would stand on the same site in the antiquity and sacrifices of animals used to take place there. This monastery was built according to the Dodecanesian architecture with hollow roof tiles. The floor of the temple and the yard are covered with pebbles and shells. Some icons date from the 19th century, while the iconostasis is even older.
The name of the monastery comes from the word tsamba, which means spark in the local dialect. In fact, tradition says that a local shepherd found an icon of Virgin Mary on top of the cliff, where the old monastery was later built, following a vigil light. The icon of Panagia Tsambika is considered miracle-working, particularly for the childless women, which is why many women offer to the icon of Panagia child dolls. This monastery is considered a protector of the island and in fact many locals are named Tsambikos for men and Tsambika for women.

The Hale Family
this wiki
The Hale Family is a family of Werewolves appearing in MTV's Teen Wolf.
Most of the family members died in an arson fire six years prior to the events of the series' first episode.
Talia Hale Edit
Talia Hale is mother to Derek, Laura and Cora Hale she is played by Alicia Coppola.
Talia is Peter Hale's older sister.
She was an extremely powerful Alpha with the rare ability to shape shift into an actual wolf which made her a leader in the larger Werewolf community.
She advised Deucalion in his attempt to broker peace with the Argents. (read more...)
She used a cheap metal disk imprinted with a triskalion as a focus object in an attempt to teach her children to control their shifts during a full moon. (read more...)
Talia's ClawsEdit
Though she is dead, Derek managed to recover her claws and used them to "consult" her memories. (More Bad Than Good)
Once Peter attached the claws to his fingers, he claws them into Derek's neck and Derek sees the Nemeton and his mother's wolf form flashing her red eyes. (Galvanize)
Peter gives the claws to Lydia so that she can hear the whispers from the claws to find out what memory Talia took from him. (Letharia Vulpina)
Young Derek Hale Edit

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
New featured article for January 2013 at ZineWiki - Cristy Road!
Added by Jerianne on January 15, 2013 at 10:34pm — No Comments
After much consideration I have decided to stop publishing Zine World.
I announced in November my intent to step down ad publisher and head editor of ZW. At that time I had hoped to create a new editorial team to relaunch the zine. A few people stepped forward; unfortunately, we haven't been able to gain traction, and I can no longer continue as the zine's leader. My life has changed over the past few years, and I can no longer give the zine the time and energy it deserves.…

Like his main character, Troy D. Nooe is originally from Baltimore, Maryland. He has lived in Myrtle Beach for close to fifteen years but has only recently begun referring to himself as a "local".
Troy enjoys long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain and Pina Coladas. Actually, he doesn't much care for any of that stuff. When he isn't pecking away at his computer or working for the man, this hard boiled writer, from the school of hard knocks, can usually be found drinking rotgut whiskey in some gin mill with loose women and wise cracking roughnecks...either that or hanging out with his three kids.

Your acid sacs are beautiful in this light
There's been a lot of overheated rhetoric from the Mirran-dominated media lately, regarding the so-called "invaders." They say that Phyrexians are villains, the "bad guys." They characterize Phyrexian partisans as overfed suburban cowards with boredom-induced death fetishes.
Let's take a step back from that, everyone. We all have rights on this artificial plane. Different does not mean evil. Phyrexians put on their biomechanical patchworks one appendage at a time, like anyone else. They love their vat-children. So the next time you meet a Phyrexian, try to see the world through their eyes or eye-like structures and extend a friendly hand. At worst you'll be reconstituted in service of the Great Work (not so bad, really) and, who knows, you might just make a friend.
Should this design be on a t-shirt? Do horrors wear t-shirts?

As many wait for the international release of the iPad 2 some have managed to get their hands on one by either traveling to the US or having someone in the US to buy it for them and send it to them? How many non-US iPad owners are there so far and how many intend on getting their iPad 2 before the international release of March 25. I've had a friend by my 32GB 3G model and sent it to me from the US and it should arrive sometime this week.
I say this only half-joking: Wait your darn turn! People throughout the US that want them can't get their hands on them due to all the shady exporters with no jobs getting in line first and buying all the AT&T 3G models to send overseas... I expect to hear soon the international launch gets pushed back due to "unexpected, incredible demand" in the US. That means you're not only making it harder for the people here who want to buy these models, but making it so people in your own country will have to wait even longer before the official roll out The New England region is way too large and tech-savvy to have gotten such a small allocation of iPads! I've scoured nearly a dozen Apple stores, and every Walmart, Target, and Best Buy in a 100+ mile radius. Nothing. Not even a crappy 16GB white iPad with Verizon service. But then you read about these redneck towns in the south with dozens sitting idle on the shelves because nobody knows what the heck they are... Probably didn't help that PAX East started in Boston on 3/11, so 70,000 extra people (ALL gaming and tech geeks) were in the area, and I know many of them waited in line and bought iPads that would've went to the locals otherwise. Yeah I'm bitter... My iPad will likely arrive close to May at this rate. I'll go back under my rock now
That is exactly the boat I am in. Not a SINGLE store in the DC area has any in stock. Ordering online is hopeless at this point with 4-5 week wait times.
Canadian here, ordered a 32GB White WiFi at 4:03 AM last Friday - arriving in New Jersey today, where a friend will ship it back to me and hopefully I'll have it by Friday.
The iPad demand is always going to bigger then supply. I think Apple does this on purpose as Apple could have been stockpiling for months but didn't. The onus is on each individial person to get in as early as possible to increase their chances of getting a release day Apple product. I have done my fair share of waiting many months to get my hands on a Apple product so I figured just this one time, especially seeing my dollar is at parity with the US right now, I will ask my friend to wait in line for me and get me the iPad. Out of generosity they waited many hours to get me an iPad and I owe them a favour now. My point is that if you want an iPad on release day you need to get in early.
I crossed over from Canada on Monday to try picking one up, but I had no luck. I'm going to try again tomorrow, but that'll be my last time. If I don't get one then I'll be waiting for the Canadian release. At first I feared that the international releases might be delayed, as someone else had commented, but I don't think this will be the case. From what I've read over the past few days, Apple stores seem to be receiving mostly Verizon stock, with little-to-no AT&T. To me, this suggests that Apple is diverting stock of the GSM models so that they can sell them for the international releases. With the low stock and high demand evidenced this week, I think it's possible that Apple will cut the number of countries the iPad is launching in next week, but I expect that at least some of them will still have a launch on the 25th.
I'm out in Asia, the land of the gray market. I've already seen plenty priced at 2x retail value. Some irrational urge to buy it anyway. Turns out though that a friend of mine in the US managed to snag two today. Hopefully mine will come in the mail sometime next week.

Just like Katrina..
PORT AU PRINCE – Haiti – In what was supposed to be a show of solidarity in a devastated country, Bill Clinton and George W Bush have been reduced to bickering over trivial matters much to the embarrassment of their handlers.
Bill Clinton's staff are demanding that George W Bush recompenses him for his ruined shirt after the Haitian shirt wipe fiasco last Tuesday.
"That shirt had sentimental value. It was the shirt that Monica gave to me after I peppered her blue dress. There weren't any stains on that white shirt but I want some kind of compensation for this. I ain't going to back down on this outrage either. That chimp owes me a new goddamn shirt," Mr Clinton was heard ranting to one of his aides.
There were threats by Mr Clinton to bring in some of his attorneys after a spat with Mr Bush during breakfast at the Port Au Prince Holiday Inn where everyone was staying on the trip.
The two former presidents were said to demand separate travel arrangements after the incident and are not on speaking terms anymore.
The US consulate is very embarrassed by this latest PR mistake and are urging both sides to calm down.
"So, I wiped my hand on Bill's shirt. I'm sure he had a lot worse stuff on that shirt. What's he going to do, sue me?" Mr Bush said from his private jet going back to his ranch in Texas.
