Oh yes Pro-Revolution TV host Hala Fahmy has slammed president Morsi and the Muslim brotherhood for couple of minutes on air in her TV show on Channel 2 last night. Fahmy appeared while holding her shroud as a symbol of being ready to die. "It is actually an expression in Egypt {I am carrying my shroud when you speak about a nearly suicidal act"
She accusing the National media of ignoring Tahrir square and its martyrs
The Live broadcast of the show suddenly was cut when the guest was speaking about Egyptian Christians' rights and suddenly we find Rasha Magdy appearing reading the news bulletin in some sad irony !! "Rasha Magdy called the people in Egypt to stand with the army against the attack of the
Christians on October 9,2011!!!"
|Fahmy in a shot from the show holding her shroud
Some MB and Islamists' supporters say that he spoke improperly about Morsi , well I have not seen her speaking in bad manner in that clip so far.
Now the Muslim brotherhood's supporters accuse Fahmy of being another Mubarak's regime remanent as her late dad is a former MP and member of NDP !! "So what honestly , I got NDP relatives and in fact I know some new big sports MB star whose uncles were too damn close to the NDP !!"
Hala Fahmy was the first one from the Egyptian National TV to join the #Jan28 protests in 2011 and the protesters in Tahrir square. She was the first from Maspero to speak openly against Mubarak as president on Dream TV2 during the 18 days.
This is from Tahrir square on February 6,2011
After the fall of Muabrak , she and a group of revolutionary Maspero employees started to demand the freedom and independence of National TV and radio so it would the Egyptians' truly media and they stood against SCAF and the military so it is kind of sad to see her being accused of being "Felol"
By the way TV host , activist and former President Candidate Bothaina Kamel had her moment in the midnight news bulletin last Saturday night when she said "We continue with the Muslim brotherhood's news bulletin"
Professionalism is debatable here as usual but somehow part of me is happy to see defiance and mutiny in Maspero , the National TV and Radia that always follows the ruler of Egypt regardless who is he and does not follow the people of Egypt.


text: Dean Foods' WhiteWave Spinoff Seen Clearing Way for Takeover May 2, 2013 10:51 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Unit may become a takeover target for buyers such as General Mills Inc. after it is spun off from the dairy maker. May 2 -- Dean Foods Co.'s WhiteWave Foods Co. unit may become a takeover target for buyers such as General Mills Inc. after it is spun off from the dairy maker, said Alexia Howard, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. WhiteWave shares will be offered this month, Dallas-based Dean, which will retain a minority stake, said yesterday in a statement. Dean also announced a reverse split of its shares and the resignation of its chairman and three other directors. Dean will be left with about a 20 percent equity holding in WhiteWave, Howard said. WhiteWave, which makes Silk soy milk and Horizon Organic products, has been among Dean's most profitable units by operating margin as more health-conscious consumers migrate to plant-based and organic milks. General Mills, whose yogurt business is struggling against Greek varieties, may look to acquire WhiteWave to take advantage of the trend, Howard said. "This could pave the way for an acquisition of the WhiteWave Foods company," Howard, who's based in New York, said today in a note. "It is also possible that other multinational food and beverage companies could express interest in such a dynamic business." Dean rose 2.2 percent to $19.26 at 10:01 a.m. in New York. WhiteWave jumped 5.7 percent to $17.75 and earlier climbed as much as 6.3 percent for the largest intraday increase since Nov. 23. Kirstie Foster, a spokeswoman for Minneapolis-based General Mills, declined to comment. Spinoff Details Shareholders will receive about 47.7 million WhiteWave Class A shares and 67.9 million Class B shares on May 23. For each share of Dean common stock, holders will receive about 0.256 shares of WhiteWave Class A common stock and approximately 0.364 shares of WhiteWave Class B common stock, the company said. The action "puts the spinoff of WhiteWave in motion," Dean Chief Executive Officer Gregg Tanner said in the statement yesterday. The separation "puts both companies on a path for future success in their respective businesses." Dean said Gregg Engles resigned as chairman and a director, effective immediately. Tom Davis was appointed to replace him. Stephen Green, Joseph Hardin Jr. and Doreen Wright also resigned from the board. The company has withdrawn Engles's nomination for re-election at its annual meeting and cut the board's size from 12 to eight, according to the statement. Dean will seek stockholder approval for the reverse stock split. Shares will be issued at a ratio of at least 1-for-2 and at most 1-for-8, the company said. Back to news

"Dune loss is only going in one direction, the beaches are not coming back," said Jeff Lignelli of Bridgehampton, who represented residents of the Bridgehampton Erosion Control District at an Aug. 30 Southampton Town hearing on a plan to rebuild eroded beaches from Water Mill to Sagaponack.
Aerial photographs on the meeting room walls showed Mecox Road's loss of 115 feet over 36 years and a loss of 70 feet at Potato Road during the same period.
"Beach nourishment is the best option," said Aram Terchunian, a coastal geologist with First Coastal Corporation, which the town hired in 2011 to prepare surveys, evaluate shoreline erosion, and develop alternate plans for restoring the six-mile stretch of coastline within the Bridgehampton and Sagaponack Erosion Control Districts, a project that would be paid for almost entirely by residents of the two special taxing districts.
Residents of the two districts were offered three choices: beach nourishment, sea walls, which the town does not prefer, or "do nothing." It was also noted that if a resident's answer was that the town should pay, that would fall under the "do nothing" category, since the town, county, and state do not have the money needed to do that.
Mr. Terchunian explained a plan to place 950,000 cubic yards of underwater sand from miles offshore closer inland along the coast, with the desired result that eventually the windblown sand from offshore would create a wider, more protective beach and dunes. First Coastal would work with its partner Coastal Science and Engineering to undertake the beach restoration.
The hearing continued yesterday and will be open for comment again on Sept. 25 at 6 p.m. If the board authorizes the improvements, the beach restoration project will be put to residents of the two districts in a ballot referendum. It would proceed only if a majority of district voters approve it.
Mr. Terchunian said at the Aug. 30 meeting that he has "a long history of undertaking these projects on the south shore," and described successful efforts at the Shinnecock Inlet beach and Westhampton Dunes in 1995 and the area west of Shinnecock and on Fire Island in 1998. His firm was involved in both projects.
Among those in attendance at the meeting were residents of the two erosion control districts, who were asked by the Southampton Town Board to share their thoughts on the proposal, which would be financed through the issuance of bonds.
Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst made it clear that the project was requested by a group of homeowners who are concerned about the future of their beaches, and who wish to pay for replenishing them. She also said, in no uncertain terms, that the project was not something the town, county, or state would pay for, except where town-owned beaches were involved. Based on a formula developed by the board and those property owners who are in favor of the project, Bridgehampton oceanfront property owners would pay based on their linear footage, while Sagaponack residents would combine footage with appraised value.
According to the town, the Bridgehampton Beach Erosion Control District's share of the beach nourishment project would be approximately $11.7 million, an average of $148,000 per resident, based on linear frontage only. Over a 10-year period, the estimated annual tax for each parcel in that district would average about $14,650 on top of the regular tax bill.
The total cost to the Sagaponack Erosion Control District would be approximately $13.3 million. The share of Ira Rennert, who owns a sprawling property there, would be approximately $2.1 million, or $211,000 annually. Excluding his share, a district homeowner's average cost in Sagaponack would be $251,000 each, calculated with a combination of assessed value and linear ocean frontage.
The town's share for properties on Flying Point Road in Water Mill, Dune Road, Surfside Drive, and Jobs Lane in Bridgehampton, and, Daniel's Lane and Sandune Court in Sagaponack would be $3 million over 10 years.
Each district would also pay a $60,000 annual monitoring cost for 10 years.
The project involves creating a sort of sand bar, primarily below the mean high water mark on land owned by New York State. Permits would be needed from the State Office of General Services and the State Department of Environmental Conservation, among others.
Suitable sand samples have been discovered 50 miles offshore on the ocean floor, Mr. Terchunian explained, where an active beach existed 10,000 years ago when the sea level was lower. This information is critical for the public as well as for draggers, he said, who will want to know what they are dealing with before they submit bids. The "good looking sand" was on display for examination at the meeting last month, as were maps and spreadsheets detailing the costs to each homeowner.
"It has worked incredibly well," said Gary Vigiante, the mayor of Westhampton Dunes, which was rebuilt with a similar nourishment project. He said he heard similar concerns when the Westhampton Dunes project was being contemplated, comments like "It can't be done," or "It will be too expensive." The result was a project that functioned even better than imagined, he said, calling it a "tremendous asset" with results including the reopening of Pike's Beach, and "more piping plovers than ever seen."
"We've tried everything," said Gary Ireland, whose family owns property in the Sagaponack Erosion Control District, and who has advocated for a solution on behalf of them and his neighbors. They have tried snow fencing, hay bales, trucked-in sand, and even created a village, he said, referring to the establishment of an independent Sagaponack Village. "This is the solution that I think may work," he said.
For the last 50 years, "Every homeowner that cares has trucked in their own sand," said Alan Stillman of Sagaponack. He has lived on the beach for more than 30 years, he said, and seen erosion of two or three feet per year. Beach nourishment "is the least offensive and expensive methodology," Mr. Stillman said. "There is no question that there is nobody else that can give to this town this kind of an ability to save six miles of beach."
"Let's do it," said Marilyn Kirkbright, who called herself a "poor, inland teacher." She reminded the audience that during the Hurricane of 1938, Southampton Village was flooded. "If the barrier beach in Water Mill goes," she said, "our ancient watermill and assets inland will go. It's not just the oceanfront homes."
Stephen Storch of Water Mill suggested small jetties from Georgica Pond to Shinnecock Inlet, such as those used further west in Long Beach and Coney Island, to hold the sand in place. He added that the jetties would also create a habitat for marine life, referencing a book called "A Sand County Almanac."
Roz Cole, who has had a house on Dune Road in Bridgehampton for 40 years, said she is concerned that the project may result in other unintended consequences and does not want residents of the erosion control districts to be held responsible.
John J. Bennett, a Southampton attorney, accused the board of trying to sidestep the state environmental quality review process, to which Kathleen Murray, the deputy town attorney said, "We are going through the SEQRA process, no action will be taken until SEQRA is done."
Councilwoman Bridget Fleming asked Mr. Terchunian about tests regarding the project's environmental safety and impact on fish. "We are studying it carefully," Mr. Terchunian said. He pointed to five environmental impact statements on the table and said the State Department of Environmental Conservation decided an environmental impact statement was not required for a similar project on Fire Island. Follow-up analysis of the projects in Westhampton Dunes, Fire Island, and Rockaway beaches show that "these communities rebound to natural levels within one year," he said. "The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation requires sampling before and after, to verify that organisms have recolonized."
Tests recently of the proposed area where the sand would be mined show no vegetation, he said. A shallow, broad hole would be dug on a bare sandy bottom, he explained, where only small worms and sand dollars exist. Intermittent strips are dragged, he said, which allow recolonization to occur faster.
William Marney, who has lived on the ocean in Bridgehampton for 46 years, said that if the $25 million spent for 60 feet of sand at the water's edge can withstand the forces of Atlantic Ocean for more than one or two years, the plan will result in the increase of property value and allow people to continue enjoying the "celebrated beaches of the Hamptons." Therefore, he said, "the cost of this project should be shared by all town property owners." To put the burden "on a small group of people" is "unfair, immoral, illegal, and probably unconstitutional," he said, and threatened a class action suit to prevent it.
"My house is 40 to 50 feet closer to the ocean than when I bought it," said David Lederman, who has lived on Surfside Drive for 27 years. Pointing to the photographs on the wall, he said, "This picture is accurate. You will get washed away."
Alexandra Gladstone, also of Surfside Drive, said that residents in the most expensive zip codes of America are being asked to pay for a town project, and accused the supervisor of wanting to boast to her constituents that she "got 135 people to pay for the beach, and you all got off tax-free." She is willing to pay her share, she said, along with all of the houses being built on Sagg Pond that also look at the ocean, but don't have direct frontage.
"We're here at your request," Ms. Throne-Holst said, again explaining that the residents had come to the town and asked to form the erosion control districts. "Now, we are holding a public hearing to ask for your opinion," she said. "A $25 million borrowing project is not doable" for the town, she said.
"I don't think it's fair at all," said Otis Pearsall, the director of Bridgehampton Associates, which owns the Bridgehampton Beach Club, and gave the development rights on the 12-acre property to the Peconic Land Trust in 1991. "We have a lot of linear feet. Ours is assessed low because we have given away the right to build 'McMansions,' " he said. "Those who do, but have narrow frontage, are going to benefit from this unfair formula," he said.
"I would be interested in hearing from your membership, some of whom are very much in support of it," Ms. Throne-Holst said.
John Millard, the president of the Bridgehampton Beach Club, offered an alternative formula, which he said would be the "correct and fair way" to assess what each property owner should pay.
"We feel that every property owner should pay for the sand placed on their own beach," Mr. Lignelli, who helped develop the town's formula, explained in a fax to The Star. "The project is designed and priced on a cubic yard per lineal foot basis, and we thought we achieved the most fairness in our district by allocating the cost on that basis. [. . .] I find it hard to believe that the broader membership of the Bridgehampton Associates does not support paying $10 per month per member to support nourishing the club's beaches, which are actively used by the members and are regularly enjoyed by all town residents."
"What's lost in this issue, is the money the town will have to spend to defend the parking lot, which will need to be closed if nothing is done," Mr. Lederman said last week. "The public will use its beach access.

The Dogs are for You Brother! "Chewing, ripping... devastating": Suit Claims White Lakewood Cop Turned k-9 Loose on Mauled Latino Man/
"The Dog is a white man's best friend" - Malcolm X
From [HERE] Noel Saldana was brutally mauled by a Lakewood Police dog on the night of June 27, 2010, suffering wounds so severe that he was confined to a hospital for 11 days. Saldana said that doctors told him they might need to amputate his left leg.
Saldana said the K-9's attack was completely unexpected, as he said he complied with a police officer's order to get on the ground. "It was a boom, it was so fast, I never been attacked by a dog," said Saldana. "The noise was like a chewing, ripping... devastating."
The dog that attacked Saldana was Astor, handled by Lakewood Officer James Syler. Syler's side of the story differs from Saldana's. According to Syler's police report, he gave a loud verbal warning saying, "Police Department, this area is being searched by a police dog. If there is anyone in this area come out and identify yourself or the dog will find you and he will bite you."
Syler said Saldana was trying to hide under bushes and Astor was appropriately used to find him. Saldana's injuries were the result of trying to fight off the dog, Syler said.
Saldana was never charged with a crime. Permanently disabled by Astor's bites, he is now suing the City of Lakewood and Syler. Saldana said the white cop purposefully turned the dog loose on him. The officer commanded the K-9, "Get 'em boy!."
The incident involving Saldana raises questions about how Lakewood Police enforce guidelines governing the use of K-9s, and it highlights how police dogs are every bit as capable of causing serious injury as the firearms, tasers and batons carried by officers.
What brought Syler and Saldana into contact was Saldana's attempt to enter the home of his estranged wife. Saldana, his wife later said, tried to push his way into the house.
"I say, you know, 'I want to be with you, I want to be with the kids.' She tells me another time to leave the house, two, three times, so I leave," Saldana said.
His wife called the police after he left on foot. Saldana said he was walking to his sister's house located nearby.
"I had no idea they were looking for me, I had no idea they were in the area," Saldana said.
When Syler located Saldana, he said Saldana tried to hide and ignored commends to show himself and surrender. The bushes Syler said Saldana was hiding under have since been trimmed, but a close inspection shows the plants are pressed against a fence -- making it very difficult for someone to hide under them.
When Astor located Saldana, the dog was able to maul him long enough to cause significant wounds before Syler ordered the animal to cease.
"He told repeatedly, maybe two or three times to the dog, 'Get him boy, get him boy, get him boy,' while the dog was chewing on the leg," Saldana said.
An internal review conducted by Lakewood PD concluded that Syler's use of Astor was effective and within departmental policy.
Saldana is suing Lakewood PD for negligence and Syler for assault and excessive use of force.
His attorney, Steven Reich, said other cases of alleged excessive force involving Syler and Astor have come to light since Saldana's suit was filed.
"Pattern and history of at least four people that we know of suffering very serious and permanent maiming injuries. And I don't know how many more people need to go through this before that dog is pulled out," Reich said.
KING 5 had a lot of questions for Lakewood Police, but they woudn't grant an interview. The department did provide a short written statement that says they track the use of force related to their K-9s and that the department follows best practices.
Saldana's case is scheduled to go to trial in federal court next month. Stewart Estes, the Seattle attorney representing the City of Lakewood and Officer Syler, denies that excessive force was used against Saldana. In court filings related to Saldana's suit, Estes said Saldana had assaulted his wife and knew that she was calling police when he left her residence.

Comic 430: Every Damn Morning
4 comments:
- AnonymousJuly 20, 2008 at 8:47 PM
I find the title interesting here. I'm guessing that what he meant is "Every damn morning, I wake up from this amazing dream but when I get downstairs to tell my girlfriend about it, I've forgotten it." But it could JUST AS EASILY mean "Every damn morning, my boyfriend bursts into the kitchen blathering incoherently about his *awesome* dreams before trailing off in confusion. It gets old."ReplyDelete
I find the ambiguity very amusing. But I'm not convinced that Randall intended for the ambiguity to exist, since he doesn't often (ever?) use the sexy-nerd-girl as a POV character.
An intriguing idea. I also think he meant it to mean "every morning I forget my awesome dream" but there doesn't really need to be a POV at all - every morning, the Dude gets up and gradually forgets his dream in a frustrating way. The Girl is annoyed, every damn morning.ReplyDelete
I still don't find it that amusing, but hey, I didn't get into the mocking-a-webcomic-in-a-cheap-ass-google-blog business to make friends!
I think the wordless comics stem from his admiration for Calvin and Hobbes. Bill Watterson was great with those and did a lot of that. Well, I'm not sure that he "admired" him, but he seems to appreciate Watterson's comics.ReplyDelete
Could easily be related. I think he probably does admire calvin and hobbes, but that's because I think everyone does (or should). Of course, Bill Watterson's wordless comics also had great art, which xkcd certainly has sometimes, but not always.ReplyDelete

NEH Summer Seminar: "Genre, Dialogue, and Community"
Submitted by rc-admin on
ANNOUNCING an NEH SUMMER SEMINAR FOR COLLEGE TEACHERS 2005: "Genre, Dialogue, and Community in British Romanticism"
13 June - 22 July 2005
University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE
Directed by Stephen C. Behrendt
Participant stipend: $4200
I invite applications for colleagues in English studies (especially later 18th and early19th century British literature and culture) for a six-week interdisciplinary NEH Summer Seminar for College Teachers here at the University of Nebraska in summer 2005. We will work together to gain a fuller appreciation of the broad variety of British Romantic literary culture by examining the interrelations that often go unexplored in traditional scholarship between works executed in a particular genre (poetry, prose fiction, drama, etc.) and the contemporaneous production in the other literary genres as well as in extra-literary areas like the visual arts, music, economics, science, print journalism, and history and historiography.
My goal is to bring together colleagues from all professional ranks and at all stages of their professional careers in order to provide an interactive forum for us to explore the impact for our research and for our teaching of this cross-genre inquiry. Seminar participants will conduct research on their own individual projects in the various genres, but we will spend time together discussing parallel developments and phenomena in those other genres (and areas of cultural production) with which we may not be as familiar as we are with our most accustomed one. I hope that this collegial conversation will lead to more wide-ranging and more culturally diverse scholarship and teaching in Romanticism than is sometimes the case when we find ourselves academically grounded in a particular genre and confined for both curricular and professional reasons to conducting most of our work in that area of inquiry.
The University of Nebraska Libraries offer splendid resources for the study of Romanticism in these broader contexts. In addition to the "Corvey Collection" of nearly 10,000 Romantic-era titles in English, French, and German, the library has extensive microform archives of contemporary periodicals that permit detailed contextual study of the Romantic literary culture. The library is a modern and well-stocked one, with excellent electronic resources for advanced study, including high-speed internet and a burgeoning program of initiatives in electronic scholarship and electronic texts, to all of which seminar participants will have full access.
Participants will enjoy full library privileges as visiting faculty, as well as visiting scholar status in the Department of English, where they will have individual office space during the seminar.
I have posted a detailed description of the seminar at the following URL:
This site has links to university resources (including the library and housing accommodations), to the necessary application information, and to a variety of community attractions. Lincoln is a pleasant and inviting place to work in the summer, and I look forward to welcoming and working with you and your colleagues.
Please note that I am actively encouraging applications from colleagues not just in English Studies, but also in History, Theatre, Art History, Music History, Journalism (and the history of print culture), Economics, and Comparative Studies in the Humanities. Tell your colleagues!
Please let me know if I can answer any questions or provide further information.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - Rain or shine, Tiger Woods has generally thrived at Torrey Pines and it was no different on Friday as the six-times Farmers Insurance Open champion again brought his sharp form in practice out to the course.
Though Woods has not won a major title since the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, he ended a lengthy barren run on the PGA Tour with three victories on the circuit last year and is upbeat about his prospects for this season.
"I'm excited about this year," the 14-times major champion told reporters after firing a seven-under-par 65 on a rain-saturated North Course to take a two-shot lead into Saturday's third round.
"I had a good year last year. I won three tournaments and was in contention in a few others, and that's a pretty good year. Understanding the game a little bit better, and I'm really excited about this year."
Asked what had contributed most to his confident demeanor this week, Woods replied: "I think the practice sessions more than anything. I've had beautiful practice sessions at home.
"If I can do it there, I can do it out here. Even though last week I only played two days, I felt like I hit the ball well enough to shoot a better score than I did."
Last week, Woods missed the cut by one shot at the European Tour's Abu Dhabi Championship in his first start of the year after being slapped with a two-stroke penalty for a rules infringement in the second round.
"That golf course was a little bit tricky so I must just keep doing what I'm doing," he said. "I had a couple of days at home to work on it, came out here and felt pretty good about it.
"I've had another year in the system of working with (swing coach) Sean (Foley). It's not something you can do overnight, make changes and all of a sudden it's great. From where I came from to where I'm at now, it's a big change."
Though Woods has lost much of the aura he enjoyed when he dominated the game from the late 1990s into the early 2000s, he is likely to intimidate his relatively inexperienced challengers at Torrey Pines because of his excellent track record here.
"There are certain golf courses where I've had some success on," he smiled. "This is one of them. Firestone, Augusta (National), Doral, Bay Hill, I've done pretty good at.
"So there are a few courses over the course of my career that I've really played well. This happens to be one of them, and we happen to have (had) a major on it, and I've won it."
Woods has gone on to win 34 times out of 44 when holding at least a share of the 36-hole lead on the PGA Tour, though he has triumphed only twice from that position in his last six attempts.
Asked to assess his overall comfort level heading into the final two rounds at Torrey Pines which will both be played over the tougher South course, he replied: "I feel good right now. I'm leading the tournament."

Detroit ran out of time this week, filing for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history after being overwhelmed by $18 billion in debt.
When a company or individual files for bankruptcy, they are in a state of insolvency: Unable to pay their debts, they require legal protection to relieve or restructure outstanding obligations. Although it's much more common for these private parties to declare bankruptcy, public entities such as towns, counties and other municipal agencies in financial straits can also file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9.
"Bankruptcy is absolutely the last resort for municipalities and it is certainly not a cure-all," says Juliet Moringiello, professor of law at Widener University who specializes in bankruptcies, including Chapter 9. Municipal bankruptcies are handled on the federal level, so constitutional issues prevent judges from dictating how a state entity is run and thus the process cannot mandate actions such as tax increases, budget cuts, asset sales or the removal of local politicians.
Although the financial crisis played a major part the bankruptcies of many U.S. corporations, the number of municipalities filing for bankruptcy wasn't an outlier by historical standards. According to data from the American Bankruptcy Institute, there were 41 municipal bankruptcies, about eight per year, between 2007 and 2011, which is on par with average in the U.S. since 1980.
So how do these bankruptcies play out? Click ahead for some of the most notable examples of bankruptcies that hit U.S. towns and counties.

Hi Viktor,
As We're talking about live project here (i'm serious about this) without legitimate technical support. I have an idea if we can make a group and hire an expert programmer to audit ADDT's includes folder so it will compatible with PHP 5.3.x.. But, does it mean we break our license policy with adobe ?
The license, which I personally consider excessively restrictive, says:
If you have received this file from a source other than Adobe, then your use, modification, or distribution of it requires the prior written permission of Adobe
The way I understand it, modification and distribution is allowed for those who have received the "includes" files from Adobe -- but the hired PHP developer would, unless he/she were someone who has purchased and installed the extension himself/herself, actually not be receiving them from Adobe, but from a customer and hence would not be allowed to modify and distribute them.
Furthermore this license attempts to control the "use" aspect, means that - again, the way I see it - would require us users to ask Adobe for permission in case we would like to use the modified files which the PHP developer has handed over to us.
2. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectviktor.iwan Nov 1, 2009 7:58 PM (in response to Günter Schenk)
maybe rather than contact adobe as personal, we should make online petition first. I think our reason is acceptable.. let'see if this issue is important among ADDT user ...

I think it's a mistake to let ADDT go.

i think:
1. to 'make' adobe romania team to continue the ADDT is almost imposible
2. the object of online petition would be:
- for ADDT user to make groups
- "Audit" addt core files to compatible with future release of php 5.3 and newer
- The Audited source code will be share among ADDT user
3. we need someone that close with adobe for our representative speaker
hope to keep ADDT user coming...
6. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectOS jediha Nov 5, 2009 2:19 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
Count me in. I've many sites build on ADDT and after a month investigation not found a good replacement yet. I like all your ideas. Concerning the license, there is a legal solution. Let an PHP expert examine the files and let him or her write a report with all the changes needed to be made. He is not going to use the files and the report can be published online. All interested users of ADDT can with help of the report modify their own ADDT files.
That should legaly not give any problems.
I hope in some way I can contribute in keeping/upgrading/developping ADDT, because its MORE than the right tool for designers/deveoppers in one person like me.
7. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectDennis48755 Nov 5, 2009 6:44 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
I too, have numerous websites built on ADDT, and do not have the programming knowledge to redo them without a tool such as ADDT.
I support the effort to make ADDT useful for sometime into the future.
8. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectIronADDT Nov 9, 2009 6:52 AM (in response to Dennis48755)
I think that we lost time; Adobe doesn't consider/read the user/customer request.
I hope that next CS5 will have a new framework for PHP website developement (but rumors not indicate improvements in the server behaviors).
9. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectviktor.iwan Nov 9, 2009 9:35 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
i think this is not about late/too late... it's about a proper legal action.. we have the source code in our hands.. with this notification on each of header's script:
* NOTICE: Adobe permits you to use, modify, and distribute this file in accordance with the
* terms of the Adobe license agreement accompanying it. If you have received this file from a

Adobe to layoff 680 full-time employees, 9% of workforce.
Do you really think that Adobe has time for ADDT (or Dreamweaver)?
I would not be surprised if the next version (dreamweaver cs5) would be the last; most of its investments are for the Rich Internet Application sector (Flash and Flex technology).
The beta 1 of dreamweaver cs5 not have improvements respect cs4, only spry 2.0 widget and html5 support.
11. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectMigic Nov 24, 2009 8:14 PM (in response to viktor.iwan)
Maybe we can develop an application that modifies the files automagically, open source the application and thus giving a few more months/years? of life .
The PHP problems aren't too severe. AFAIK.
If the application is used by legal owners of the code, there shouldnt be much of a legal issue. And it seems that adobe does not care much about addt anymore.
I Think we can develop this without much effort, however , how long will it be useful, we might be stuck with DW CS4 until there is a decent replacement.

13. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectWaleed Barakat Dec 3, 2009 4:15 PM (in response to viktor.iwan)
Hello Everyone!
As an advanced user of ADDT since long time ago, i think there is no one can do that job "Re-Programming" ADDT better than Adobe itself, they made it and they know better how to make it compatible with PHP 5.3.x.
Well, i bet sure that they know how important and "easiest" ways of using ADDT by most (Beginners + Intermediates + Advanced) users! So i think instead of hiring a programmer we can:
1- Write a review and send it to adobe for consideration.
2- Pay them if required to continue developing ADDT.
3- Try to look for an alternative instead of wasting our time begging them.

Just wanted to add my vote. Adobe's decision to abandon ADDT, whithout real comment is very disappointing. It's going to cost many of us a great deal to work around them. They should sell the extensions to someone who is interested. I've paid for all the Interakt extentions and still use many of them. I'd pay again.
I have been in contact with my site host and they will have an option to run php 4.9 if I choose but I would like the security enhancments 5.3 shold bring. The other option, which is unlikly is that 5.3 not depreciate those functions.
15. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectglensbo Dec 15, 2009 3:37 PM (in response to viktor.iwan)
Hi looking at the PHP 5.3 documentation there are som Backward Incompatible Changes: I'm uncertain if it will actually affect any of the code but this list may give a clue to somebody with knowledge of code:
The array functions natsort(), natcasesort(), usort(), uasort(), uksort(), array_flip(), and array_unique() no longer accept objects passed as arguments. To apply these functions to an object, cast the object to an array first.
ktml4_functions.inc.php -
line 268: $allowed_tags_list = array_unique($allowed_tags_list);
line 293: $denied_tags_list = array_unique($denied_tags_list);
line 75: $trans = array_flip(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES));
line 212: uasort($this->triggers[$triggerType],array('tNG','compareTriggers'));
line 312: natsort($arrTmp);
line 69: natsort($arr);
line 122: natsort($arr);
The behaviour of functions with by-reference parameters called by value has changed. Where previously the function would accept the by-value argument, a fatal error is now emitted. Any previous code passing constants or literals to functions expecting references, will need altering to assign the value to a variable before calling the function.

16. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 11, 2010 6:05 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
I think too much emphasis is going into PHP 5.3. The real problem is going to be PHP 6, and 5.3 appears to be nothing more than a "prepare yourself now for what's to come" release. If you think about it - they are still releasing updates for 5.2.x, for a reason.
Luckily I run my own servers, and can retain a copy of 5.2.9 (.10 and up have their own problems with ADDT) indefinitely but I do have a couple of sites that live on outside servers. I have communicated with those hosts, and they have NO INTENTION of going to 5.3 since so many problems are introduced with it. That's not to say that all hosts are going to wait, but most are operated by people that really don't want the "support calls" to start flooding in.
The real thought is to audit and make ADDT work with PHP6, not just 5.3. I'm with many, that it just isn't worth the fight anymore, and time to move on - but I still might run a full featured site on a 5.3 test server to see what's going on. I suspect the PHP 6 change release is so great that it is one of the major reasons Adobe decided to dump it now, rather than later. ADDT likely would need a massive facelift to keep it alive. Quite simply, by not maintaining and upgrading the software over the past few years - it is now just too big of a job to tackle.
Any project that was backward compatable to PHP 4 is going to have these problems, as seen with Drupal and Joomla. If it was running on both platforms - it will now need an overhaul to go onto version 6. I tip my hat to the developers that said "PHP5 Only" when the majority of hosting company's still only offerred PHP4. It cost them business at the time - but who is better prepared for the future now?
17. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectglensbo Jan 11, 2010 6:20 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
In reply to budeborton.
Thanks for your feed-back. Interesting thoughts - I'm of the same conviction. There are no other opportunities but to move ahead. Problems will increase exponentially by sticking to ADDT.
Personally the way forward is through FLEX, amfphp/ZENDamf causing some initial problems, but I also experienced these with early interakt implementations. Developing a reasonable back-end for customer update and then a customizable front is the actual goal.
18. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 11, 2010 2:01 PM (in response to viktor.iwan)
I've been running a custom CMS for the past 2 years, which was build on ADDT. I finally got the courage to setup a 5.3 test server just to see how it stands. Some of the ADDT features used on the CMS are as follows:
- Includes
- Dymanic Lists and Forms
- Image Uploads
- List Sorting
- Widgets
- Send Email
- much, much more
When I first ran the sites front end, everything was perfect. All I did was update a few of the files as recommended on these forums. That was about 15 minutes work, and voila - the display of the sites contents was great.
However - when I dove into the admin area, that is where the problems started. Most of the problems were simply errors, that pinpointed where the problem was, and for the most part - the problem was already outlined on these forums, but the include file was not mentioned (eg: don't just update "tNG_insert.class.php", you also need to update "tNG_multipleInsert.class.php" and several others.
NOW I AM STUCK! This is on the lists and forms. Both of these items display properly, but when I try to update a record, an error is thrown that I cannot find a fix for. This same error is appearing on Joomla and Drupal forums all over the internet, and the only solution I ever see is "wait for the 5.3 update for the program". OF COURSE, THAT IS NOT COMING FOR ADDT!
Since lists and forms is the most used feature (for me anyway) of ADDT, it is rendering ADDT completely useless on PHP 5.3.
"PHP Warning: Parameter 2 to Trigger_Default_FormValidation() expected to be a reference, value given in D:\sites\pra2.ca\public_html\includes\tng\tNG.class.php on line 228"
I know this has to do with the "pass by reference" deprecation, but I cannot figure out how to fix this problem. I am able to supress the warning with the @ symbol, and therefore I can continue testing. But that is just hiding the problem, not fixing it.
Any suggestions would be appeciated

in reply to buberton

It helped me at lot when I was in trouble - remember to update all 4 (8 if you also need to update the multipletNG error) files
20. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 12, 2010 5:30 AM (in response to glensbo)
Thanks Glensbo!
I did have these files updated although didn't make that very clear in my post.
The problem I am having is a PHP Warning in the "tNG.class.php" file when I try to insert, update or delete. The error (which is posted in a post above) is suggesting that "call_user_func_array" is expecting the 2nd param to be a reference not a value. According to the code in that file, it looks like it is a reference, so I am really stumped. I've tried everything to pass it as a reference to no avail.
As I mention in the post. This is just a warning, and I can supress that with the @ symbol, and everything works as it should. But this is just hiding the error, not fixing it. Come PHP 6, it will break - I am certain of that.
Here is the actual snipped of code. I have placed a comment and supressed the line that is throwing the error. This is line 221 - 231 in "tNG.class.php". At least in the copy I have.
if ($runTrigger) {
$callBackFunction = $trigger[1];
$tempParam = array_reverse($trigger[3]);
$tempParam[] = &$this;
$tempParam = array_reverse($tempParam, true);
tNG_log::log($triggerType, $callBackFunction, 'begin');
if (is_string($callBackFunction) && function_exists($callBackFunction)) {
@$ret = call_user_func_array($callBackFunction,$tempParam); // PHP 6 update. Error is supressed with the @ symbal
} else {
die('Internal Error. Trigger "'.$callBackFunction.'" does not exist.');
21. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectglensbo Jan 12, 2010 7:01 AM (in response to budeborton)
For Budeborton
I think I have seen a similar error trying to solve the problems. Here's what I did:
Found a totally untouched and unedited tng folder -
Then I deleted the tng folder I have edited (and forgot what I actually changed)
Pasted the untouched and unedited tng folder
Then I changed the 8 above mentioned tNG files and--- knock on woods---- it worked.
Just tested again with PHP errors set to ON and I do not get errors
22. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 12, 2010 7:50 AM (in response to glensbo)
glensbo: Great advice - and something I generally will do before running to the forums.
When I think back - this problem could come from anywhere, and may not be that file in particular. I first developed this CMS in Kollection Pro about 2 -3 years back. I ported it over to ADDT simply by updating the include files and making some minor adjustments, but quite possibly - the generated code on the "insert/update" pages is where the real problems are occurring.
Rather than continuing with old code, I am going to build a page for each ADDT function just to test it. At least then it will be clean installs of everything.
Overall - I think it should be relatively easy to overcome the errors. I certainly would not recommend building new sites on the ADDT platform, but at least we might be able to keep old sites alive on another generation of PHP (talking 6, not just 5.3). That should provide about 5 more years of comfort zone.
23. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 12, 2010 11:54 AM (in response to glensbo)
glensbo: I just tried a clean install, and get exactly the same warning. I have narrowed it down to be part of the form "validation". If I remove validation, it works, but as soon as I add it, this warning get's triggered. Oddly enough, if I supress the warning, the validation is working fine.
Aside from that issue, most features are working as well as can be expected. Back to the drawing board.
EDIT: I found the problem, but I guess only time will tell if my solution creates more problems.
includes > tng > triggers > tNG_defTrigg.inc.php
Line 60 read: "function Trigger_Default_FormValidation(&$tNG, &$uniVal)"
Changed that to: "function Trigger_Default_FormValidation($tNG, $uniVal)"
24. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectviktor.iwan Jan 15, 2010 12:41 AM (in response to budeborton)
hello, i have been building my cms since kollection 2.x released.. now have port most of it to ADDT... now as most likely web hosting provider will turn their php to 5.3.x i plan to gather some ADDT user to pledge some small amount of money to hire hard coder to audit all ADDT source code. i think the project could cost from $200-$1000... if we had 100 ADDT user, each user should only pay $10(+ paypal fees) to make their ADDT source code compatible with 5.3.
The bidding of ADDT 5.3 project will be done in getafreelancer.com (i'll create a new account where most subscriber could access... so everything would be transparent).. this would benefit most of us.. what do you think ? i'll be happy to moderate this project ...
25. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectglensbo Jan 15, 2010 1:10 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
For Victor, Budeborten and others
Interesting proposal - I have looked a lot at the code, and upgrade to 5.3 may seem OK but look closely to the start of some of the code (find and replace?) here you will find the following if statement:
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
$theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
So apart from the 5.2 to 5.3 changes we look at some additional changes (as budeborton initially pointed out) when we arrive at PHP 6.0.
What we all seem to lack here is the deep knowledge of PHP coding and some dedicated PHP-coders wanting to participate at forum level.
I would like to participate actively in any legal upgrade of ADDT because it seems to be a solid framework, on the other hand I don't sit at my hands as the evolution of other CMS solutions are evolving very fast.
Another issue with ADDT is the lack of future support for Internet Explorer (in some/or one of the js files) there are also some limitations that need changes.
End of the day security may be compromised and then the **** really hits the fan.Regards
26. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 15, 2010 8:14 AM (in response to glensbo)
Glenbo: You said "Another issue with ADDT is the lack of future support for Internet Explorer (in some/or one of the js files) there are also some limitations that need changes."
That is going to be a very big problem. AJAX has really pushed the JavaScript development hard (in a good way) and not just IE, but Safari, Firefox and others are moving ahead at an alarming rate. For instance, anyone that owned the AJAX ToolBox from Interakt knows darn well it failed within a year! Trying getting many of those features to work on Safari - won't happen!
Luckily, most JS files are used in the displays, more than the functions.
27. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectbudeborton Jan 15, 2010 8:35 AM (in response to viktor.iwan)
This is interesting, but I'm not sure what the benifit would be as an end result. Prolonging ADDTs death could make us lazy in moving on
I'm not intested in making sure ADDT will work as a developmental tool at this point. My only concern is making sure I can jump through the 5.3 hurdle with my existing sites. If my clients sites are getting old (2 yrs +) then I can convince them of a re-developed version. But I have several sites built in the past two years, that could potentially fail, and I feel obligated to keep those working.
Most Hosting Company's are NOT going to dive into version 6, without providing a version 5 alternative. Proof of this already exists, as most hosts still provide a PHP 4 alternative for those that need it. My concern lays with the sites I have running on existing PHP 5 hosts - that are going to upgrade to 5.3.
I'm very confident that I have found and fixed most of my problems with tips already found in these forums. That doesn't mean "All of ADDT" works, but the features I use are all working at this time. I still even use KTML as a wysiwyg editor, and it's holding strong in 5.3 tests.
28. Re: ADDT and PHP 5.3.x projectEverWebby.com Jan 21, 2010 12:22 PM (in response to Günter Schenk)
Gunter do you have a bundled includes folder with the changes already made? And also do you have a way to implement the changes so that the new code can be bundled into the toolbox libraries? This way when creating a new script/software that you do not have to go back in and manually update the code.
Anyhow, have another question and this regards to my current setup. I am running php5.29, but since my hosting companies new firewall setup, the email scripts are failing. It took a long time to figure this out, finally at least I know the root problem. Other personally written email/SMTP scripts work flawlessly though even the same login creditenials, so the problems I am incurring is because the email script in ADDT is not properly authenticating the SMTP. Any help/explanations would be appreciated.

in the last 2 years. I am not a PHP programmer for that it was perfect solution. now I did the changes and it workes in 5.3. so far.. but I got "scared" about all the other sites I have and what will happen in future.

Huskies put it all together
Storrs — Well on the way to a runaway victory, UConn teammates Shabazz Napier and DeAndre Daniels decided to engage in a friendly competition.
They wanted to see who could grab the most rebounds in Tuesday's Big East home opener.
"We made a conscious effort to try to get 10," Napier said.
Both Napier and Daniels fell short, each sharing the team lead with eight. It was about the only thing the Huskies failed to do all night.
UConn turned in an impressive performance in a 99-78 rout of a shorthanded DePaul, which had two starters sitting out serving suspensions for a violation of team rules, at Gampel Pavilion.
"Just a great effort by everybody," coach Kevin Ollie said. "We played like a team."
The Huskies (11-3, 1-1) bounced back from last week's road loss to Marquette with a convincing victory, never trailing and leading by as many as 25 points.
"Everybody was anxious and ready to play," sophomore Ryan Boatright said. "We felt good to get back on the winning track."
They received contributions from the entire team, with Daniels scoring a career-high 26 points. Boatright finished with 22 points and junior Shabazz Napier played a superb floor game, adding 16 points, seven assists, no turnovers and four steals.
They had their highest scoring output in a Big East game since 2006 when they beat Seton Hall, 99-57.
And they even dominated in the rebounding department, holding a decisive 49-29 edge. It was only the third time this season that they won the rebounding battle.
Rebounding has and will continue to be a point of emphasis for the Huskies, a message Daniels received.
After playing a season-low 17 minutes against Marquette and grabbing only one rebound, Daniels worked even harder in practice. He took an aggressive approach from the start Tuesday.
"I wasn't angry," Daniels said of his mindset after Marquette. "I just came back working even harder, boxing out and just trying to rebound because obviously if you rebound, you're going to play a lot of minutes. That was the main thing I focused on and being aggressive."
Daniels, a smooth 6-foot-8 forward, played 30 minutes and did a solid defensive job on DePaul leading scorer Cleveland Melvin, who had the bulk of his 18 points during garbage time.
"DeAndre came back and played the way I expect him to play," Ollie said.
UConn came out playing with great energy, scoring the game's first nine points behind the scoring of Daniels and Boatright.
The speedy Boatright energized his teammates and set the tempo in UConn's favor. He also helped shred DePaul's press. The Blue Demons (10-6, 1-2) looked defenseless at times.
"I feel like nobody can stop me," Boatright said. "And I'm going to keep that attitude."
The Huskies built a 54-34 lead and held a 30-11 rebounding edge at halftime. They also finished with a season-high 19 offensive rebounds and scored 17 second chance points.
Those numbers certainly didn't sit well with DePaul coach Oliver Purnell whose team came in unbeaten in four road games this season.
"I was really disappointed with the way we played," Purnell said. "We've been playing really confident and with a hard edge on the road really all year long. I just didn't feel like we had that tonight - evidence of that is the rebounding stat.
"Of their first 16 shots, UConn rebounded 10 of them."
To be successful in the Big East, UConn has to continue that rebounding effort. Napier, a 6-1 guard, leads the team with a 4.5 per game average. Daniels is close behind him at 4.4.
Expect those two to continue their friendly rebounding competition on Saturday when UConn visits No. 17 Notre Dame.
"I just want to win," Napier said. "I don't care about anything. Whatever coach wants me to do, I just want to win. If he tells me to get on the boards, I get on the boards."

Point Park University's Conservatory Dance Company performed its annual signature concert at the Byham Theater in Pittsburgh's Cultural District Feb. 24–26 to critical acclaim. The show featured signature works by dance luminaries George Balanchine, Bill T. Jones, Trey McIntyre and Toru Shimazaki.
George Balanchine's Valse Fantaisie is set to music by Mikhail Glinka and has been described by New York Times critic Anna Kisselgoff as "a windswept pattern of pure dancing, attuned to the joyfulness of its waltz rhythms." Student cast members had the opportunity to work with Paul Boos, a repetiteur with the George Balanchine Trust, who has worked all over the globe. Watch an interview with Boos.
The Bessie Award-winning D-Man in the Waters by Bill T. Jones was created in honor of a company member, Demian Acquavella, who died of AIDS. It is an uplifting and accessible celebration of music and life set to the music of Felix Mendelsohn. It was set on the students by guest artist Nicole Smith, professional dancer and choreographer, who is currently working and training with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and touring with several others. Watch an interview with Smith.
Trey McIntyre's Blue Until June Suite was created in 2000 for the Washington Ballet. It is a sultry, bluesy, emotionally fluid piece set to music by the legendary Etta James. Hear more about the piece from associate professor and rehearsal director, Jay Kirk.
Bardo by Toru Shimazaki was created for and premiered by Hubbard Street Dance Chicago in 2006. It is set to international rhythms by Dead Can Dance and presents a mystical and mysterious journey between life and the afterworld. Passionate, fiery and fiercely athletic, the dancers in Bardo weave their way through daring partnerships and striking visual images. Cheryl Mann, Point Park alumna and former dancer with Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, set the work on the students. Watch an interview with Mann.
In her review, veteran dance critic Jane Vranish commented, "…viewers were able to see much of the choreography for what it was intended and a tribute to these young dancers and a new standard of professionalism."

Barnard College recognizes that using tobacco products is harmful to the health of tobacco users and that exposure to secondhand smoke poses a health risk to non-smokers. The following policy has been enacted to address these health concerns and to provide a smoke-free workplace for all members of the college community.
Smoking is prohibited in all college-owned student residences and all academic and administrative buildings. Outdoor smoking is not permitted within the confines of the campus. For those who go outside the perimeter to smoke, we ask that you remain mindful of your proximity to office and dormitory windows, and to those passing by.
While the risks of smoking have long been known, recent studies on the impact of secondhand smoke cannot be ignored. According to the Centers for Disease Control, secondhand smoke is the third leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., causing about 3,000 deaths from lung cancer in non-smokers every year. The American Heart Association found that people who have never smoked, but were exposed to secondhand smoke, have about a 20 percent higher rate of coronary heart disease.
Barnard is committed to assisting students, faculty and staff in making healthy lifestyle choices. Students can go to Barnard Primary Care Health Service or ASAP (Alcohol and Substance Awareness Program) for information and assistance. Faculty and staff who are interested in smoking cessation programs may obtain information from Human Resources. In addition, residents of New York State can access services available through the New York State Quitline at 1-866-697-8487 or www.nysmokefree.com.
Your cooperation with the College smoking policy is appreciated.

1. Generation Enggelmundus
If you are looking to lose stubborn fat in a short span of time, the 3-week Diet Plan by Brian Flatt is perhaps the most scientific method that you can follow. Brian Flatt, head coach, sports nutritionist and personal trainer, has come up with a unique online weight reduction program that lasts for 21 days. The program not only helps you to lose weight (12 to 23 pounds) but also assists in building up lean muscle in your body.
The 3-week diet program is divided into 4 phases comprising of Detoxification, 24-hours Fasting, a Fat Fast phase and the Your Unique BMR phase. The 95-page online e-book is also a compilation of 4 texts that include the Introduction, Diet, Workout, and Mindset and Motivation Manuals. These are geared to provide insights into the diet, exercise, mindset, will power, and motivation required to achieve your weight loss goals.
The 3-Week Diet Plan � The Manuals
The first 43 page Introduction Manual gives an understanding of the basic principles of weight loss, different methods available and relevant general information. The Diet Manual (next 22 pages) explains the 4 program phases and gives the user some tips on how to reach the weight loss goals quickly. The 17 pages of the Workout Manual educate the user about full body workouts, warm-up sessions that make the exercises effective and the importance of consistency. The last 13 pages which make up the Mindset and Motivation Manual share tips on motivation and how to prepare and control your mind to start and maintain your weight-loss initiatives.
The 3-Week Diet Plan in Detail
Formulated by Brian Flatt (after 12 years of research), a major in biology from the San Diego University and a fitness trainer, the 3-Week Diet E-book is aimed at those who seriously want to quickly shed about 10 to 20 pounds of body weight. There are many who have already seen success after using the program. The unique part of the plan is that it is neither difficult to follow the recommended diet nor is it time-consuming. You can easily get started by visiting the website and making an online payment. Soon after this, you will be able to download the 96-page booklet which includes all the manuals and other related information pertaining to the 3-Week Diet . The e-book allows you to create your own diet and personalized workout schedule for the three weeks according to your body�s needs. You are now ready to start!
The basic aspect of the program is utilizing the fat stored in the body for its energy requirements. If the body is deprived of extra fat intake, it goes into the starvation mode and uses the fat already stored in the body to fuel the working of the body�s other internal organs. This scientific weight-loss program has already helped many men and women to successfully shed 10 to 20 pounds of their body weight. The manuals provide insight into improving your body�s metabolic system and weight training methods (specially formulated by Brian himself) that help to burn fat faster.
The 4 Phases
Phase I � Detoxification
The main emphasis of this phase that lasts for seven days is cleansing of the body through detoxification. This phase educates you on the importance of vitamins A, C, and D that help to detoxify the liver and other organs and also increase your body�s sensitivity to insulin. The adrenal gland is stimulated to burn more fat. The diet plan in this phase, made up of 17 different vegetables and 6 protein sources, has helped people to lose up to 15 pounds of their body weight.
Phase II � 24-Hours Fasting
As the name rightly says, this phase extends for 24 hours. The user has to start his/her fast after the last meal of the seventh day. The fast continues into the next 24 hours which equates to dinner on the eighth day. The fasting period ups your metabolism, detoxifies your liver and sets the stage for burning the stored fat in your body for its energy requirements. The user is at liberty to eat whatever he/she wants for dinner on the eighth day but with a check on the carbohydrate intake.
Phase III � Fat Fast
This phase lasts for three days (9th, 10th, and 11th) and it is in this phase that the body starts burning up stored fat from the hips and the belly. However, in this phase, the body is provided with a minimum amount of essential fats. After burning off these fats, the liver is signaled into using fat from the muscle for the body�s energy requirements. This phase helps to optimize the functioning of the liver.
Phase IV � Your Unique BMR
In this last 9-day phase (from 12 to 21 days), the user takes in a limited amount of calories according to his/her BMR and their weight-loss goals. This phase is made up of 2 steps: finding the BMR and determining the calorie intake as per the BMR. You can also choose the workout routine that will help you to develop a lean look with six-pack abs if you want.
3-Week Diet Plan Pros
- Ideally suited for busy individuals as the program entails light exercise routines (20 to 30 minutes) for 3 days in a week.
- The weight loss method is a scientifically proven one and safe to use (it has even worked on Brian himself).
- It helps you to lose weight quickly in a matter of just 21 days; it is guaranteed to work if you are ready to follow instructions and the guidance.
- The program comes with a full 60-day money back guarantee.
- The creator of the program Brian Flatt is a well-known fitness expert who has been in the field since the 90s. It already has many followers from all over the world.
3-Week Diet Cons
- It is available only in the digital form and the program has to be downloaded to use it.
- There is no strict enforcement of the diet plan or the exercise routine.
- You have to spend extra money for supplements and certain other things recommended in the program.
- There is no hard copy version of the program.
- A little more elaboration would have made some portions easier to understand.
Wrapping up, the 3-Week Diet E-book is a reasonably priced diet program (it costs just $37) and comes along with a 60-day money back guarantee (full refund, if you are not satisfied). This value-for-money online weight-loss program comes in pdf format.

Tony Romo is expected to retire from football and head to the broadcast booth, according to a published report on Tuesday.
The Dallas Cowboys, where Romo spent the duration of his 13-season NFL career, gave permission to other teams to contact Romo on Monday. Instead of continuing his pro career, the Cowboys will release the 37-year-old quarterback to allow him to pursue broadcasting, ESPN reported.
Romo has been linked to CBS ---- where he could ascend to the role as an analyst on the network's No. 1 broadcast team that currently is comprised of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms --- among other broadcast gigs in recent weeks.
Romo has three seasons left on his contract with the Cowboys, but he's been supplanted by Dak Prescott as the starter. Romo suffered a back injury in the preseason last year and didn't start a game for the Cowboys as Prescott led the franchise to a 13-3 record in the regular season.
Romo played in only one series for the Cowboys after he returned from injury in November. He's played in five games overall over the past two seasons.

It's time to halt the wind scam
Credit: Times Argus | January 12, 2013 | www.timesargus.com ~~
Ponder the ramifications of this if you will. I'm going to start a power company in Ira. I will source a year's worth of the projected power required from a dam set up on a currently dry drainage that comes down off Herrick Mountain.
I am quite sure that we will get one good storm this year which will create a torrent that when harnessed for a day will meet our power needs for the year. We will keep track of the power produced and in essence pay forward the cost of power that we require from the grid for the rest of the year. You might question if the torrent of power that we produce on that day will actually get used.
Nope. Our grid manager wasn't completely sure this power was coming and thus didn't scale back the big base load producers of energy. This doesn't matter to me; my power company will take the credit for this unused energy and use that credit to keep Ira's lights on for the rest of the year. Who pays for energy we used over the rest of the year? Not Ira. We have a credit. You know who pays – everybody else.
Did you know that common sense and legal precedent don't allow other generators to get away with this type of operation? Hydro-Quebec couldn't. Vermont Yankee couldn't. They have to be available 24/7/365 to sell their power into the market. They are required to be reliable, forecastable and stable. Then there is industrial wind, which works just like my sham of a dam up on Herrick. Wildly unstable, variable and inefficient, but for some ratepayer ripoff of a reason, regardless of the time of day or the need for energy, always first to sell power that won't get used into the market. If you can't trust a wind turbine enough to shut down the other generators, you are not using the wind. Crazy? You bet, but we're destroying mountains and neighbors' lives for this debacle.
Four wind projects are already shamming the Vermont ratepayer (Sheffield, Lowell, Georgia Mountain, Searsburg), and Windham/Grafton, Deerfield, Grandpa's Knob, Brighton/Newark/Ferdinand are in the works.
Don't leave this to someone else. Call your representatives and tell them it is time to support the moratorium on industrial wind in Vermont.

The Orange Peel gets down and dirty Saturday as local hip-hop collective Gurp City South unite for a rowdy weekend showcase. Catching the entire outfit under one roof can be difficult, as members split their time between Asheville and San Francisco, so expect some fireworks.
From a release for the event: "Gurp City South is a hip-hop crew with one foot firmly planted in Asheville, N.C. and the other in San Francisco, C.A., with natives of both areas known to transplant between the mountains and the coast. Made up of several individuals and groups, each have cultivated their own unique sounds while retaining the common intelligent yet cynical, and sometimes political outlook of a wise old drunk, sort of like a Nick Nolte character set to vinyl. This is where Buchowski and Hunter S. Thompson meet Digital Underground and Outkast. Known for some of the rowdiest, most powerfully-energetic live shows anywhere, GCS brings an old school work ethic to a young man's game, making it easily as relatable to the over-thirty hip-hop crowd that grew up on records and cassettes as it is to the iPod generation. It's raw ruckus party music with enough clever writing to make you think … if that's what you're into. Saturday's show at the Orange Peel will feature a rarely seen full lineup of the crew's entire roster of San Francisco rap battle champion TopR, Foul Mouth Jerk, The Ville Boyz, Smidi, Adam Strange, DJ Football, and the Fist Fam, voted WNC's #1 hip-hop act two consecutive years in the Mountain Xpress."
