Leading up to Pablo Mastroeni's induction into the Colorado Rapids Gallery of Honor on July 25, we want to count down the best moments in his Rapids career. Below are 10 moments that we think are among his best. Vote for your top five via Facebook - up until 1 p.m. MT on Wednesday - and starting on Sunday we'll count them down all the way to number one. If you think we've missed a major moment in his Rapids career, email it to us at email@example.com for consideration.
January 11, 2002 – First Pick in MLS Allocation Draft
The 2001 season was difficult for Rapids fans, but it did net Colorado the first selection in the 2002 Allocation Draft, which was used to pick Mastroeni from the Miami Fusion.
September 23, 2004 – Mastroeni Named Captain
On this day in 2004, with three matches remaining in the regular season, John Spencer passed the captaincy to Pablo Mastroeni – who then held the role for nearly a decade.
September 2, 2006 – Rocky Mountain Cup Comes Alive
Many remember this date as when the Rocky Mountain Cup became one of the great rivalries in MLS. Following a 1-0 Rapids win at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake, things got heated between Mastroeni and the then-RSL owner Dave Checketts.
July 19, 2007 – At Home on the All-Star Team
Mastroeni was named to his sixth straight MLS All-Star team, playing the final 30 minutes in a 2-0 win over Celtic in front of his home fans at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in the year that the stadium first opened.
August 8, 2009 – Wasting No Time
It took just 26 seconds for Mastroeni to score against Chivas USA, igniting a 4-0 rout in which Conor Casey scored the next three goals. It is currently the third-fastest goal in Rapids history.
April 24, 2010 – Long Range Rocket
In a 2-1 road win at the New England Revolution, Mastroeni scored one of the best goals of his career – a game-winning, 30-yard, first-time blast that was nominated for Goal of the Week.
October 28, 2010 – Game-Winner in Conference Semifinal
In the run to the 2010 MLS Cup, Mastroeni scored the only goal in a 1-0 home win over the Columbus Crew in the first leg of the Conference Semifinal. The Rapids dropped the second leg 2-1 before prevailing 5-4 on penalties to advance to the Conference Final.
November 11, 2010 – Winning MLS Cup 2010
With a 2-1 victory in extra time over FC Dallas at BMO Field in Toronto, Mastroeni captained the team to its first MLS Cup, the crowning achievement – so far – in Rapids history.
June 18, 2011 – 200th and 300th
Mastroeni holds records in a number of categories, but this night was special. The match against the LA Galaxy at Dick's Sporting Goods Park was Mastroeni's 200th regular season game in a Rapids uniform, and his 300th in MLS.
May 25, 2013 – Final Match with the Rapids
We didn't know it at the time, but a 2-0 win over Chivas USA at Dick's Sporting Goods Park was Mastroeni's final match on the field for the Rapids. He started and played 83 minutes.
Now, head to our Facebook page and vote for your top five moments!

To honor "ordinary heroes who will help change Cebu and our country by running," Gawad Kalinga (GK) Cebu is holding a run entitled "Takbo ng mga Bayani" on November 25, 2012 at Parkmall, Mandaue City. All proceeds shall go to the general fund of GK Cebu used for housing, health, educational, and other programs.
The registration fees for the GK run, which include singlets, are as follows: Php300 for 3k, Php400 for 6k, Php500 for 12k, and Php600 for 21k categories. All 21k finishers will be receiving medals. Registration forms are available at Runnr Ayala Center Cebu and Toby's SM Cebu. You may also download and print registration forms through tinyurl.com/gkrun2012 and bring them to the aforementioned registration centers.
The gun start time for the 21k category is at 4:30 a.m. Everyone is encouraged to come earlier for the warm-up exercises.
The event has the following rules and regulations:
Registration for participants below 18 years old must be signed by parents or guardians.
- Race bibs must be worn at all times during the event.
- All result-related protests must be in writing and submitted to the race organizer or director within 30 minutes upon official announcement of winners. All protests must be filed together with the payment of a protest fee of Php500.
- The race organizer's decision is final.
- Since this is a fundraising event, there will be no refund of race registration fees in case of cancellation of event due to bad weather and other fortuitous events, or failure of the participant to attend the event.
Here is the route map of the event:
Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation is a poverty alleviation and nation-building movement in the Philippines. It was initiated by Antonio "Tony" Meloto in 1995. It started out as a program of the lay Catholic community Couples for Christ (CFC) through its Youth for Christ (YFC) branch. Gawad Kalinga means to give care or to award care.
Aiming to end poverty for five million poor families by the year 2024, GK built its first house in 1999. Its mission comprises of providing land for the landless, homes for the homeless and food for the hungry. It envisions "a nation empowered by people with faith and patriotism;" and "a nation made up of caring and sharing communities dedicated to eradicate poverty and restore human dignity."
GK prides on its holistic community development approach against poverty. According to Meloto, "poverty is not a lack of resources but a lack of caring and sharing." It works on restoring the dignity of the poor by involving the different sectors of society through public and private collaboration. It believes in the spirit of bayanihan (teamwork) and becoming heroes to one another.
Through the movement's Community Infrastructure Program (CIP), the poorest of the poor receive brightly painted homes in sustainable communities. These homes and other communal facilities like multiple purpose centers, school buildings, clinics, and others are built by skilled paid laborers, as well as GK residents and volunteers.
GK wants everyone to know that their thrusts do not only involve housing projects. Its Child and Youth Development (CYD) program aims to develop the skills and enhance the talents of the youth in the GK communities. Through Sibol (to grow) pre-school children aged 3 to 6 years old are provided with values-based education. With Sagip (to save a life), children aged 7 to 13 years old receive free academic tutorials, creative workshops, and values formation classes. Children and teens also learn to become productive citizens through sports, creative activities and mentoring sessions with the help of the program called Siga (to light).
GK's Community Building program aspires to empower poor communities to become self-sufficient. They help people become dependable leaders and teach residents to care for their own communities, as well as to help other poor communities. Through the Center for Social Innovation (CSI), people are exposed to the culture of social entrepreneurship.
GK's food sufficiency program called Bayan-Anihan empowers people to eradicate hunger by teaching families to produce their own food. On the other hand, the GK Kalusugan is a health program that makes sure that community health care services are given to those who need them the most. GK believes that every Filipino has the right to good health. The program has a vast network of volunteer doctors, nurses, and dentists to help address different health needs.
Green Kalinga is an environment program that aims to create green model communities. They provide environment- friendly projects and seminars with the help of advocacy groups and government agencies.
Be a hero and run for GK Cebu. For more information, you may call (032) 266-1288. You may also e-mail them at [email protected] or check out the event at www.facebook.com/gkceburun2012

One of the more challenging challenges of lighting involves older actresses.
Since, in Hollywood world, men are allowed to age but women must forever look 19, even when they've officially qualified as a dowager for a few decades and makeup can only do so much, so we in the lighting department have to pick up whatever slack we can.
It's not as difficult as one might imagine.
A large light through multiple layers of heavy diffusion will, in effect, remove wrinkles.
The light has to be large as a small light through multiple layers of heavy diffusion results in no light at all, which also makes wrinkles difficult to see, but not in the way we want it to.
So today's photo is a BFL (big fucking light – 9 light variety) shining through two layers of very heavy diffusion in order to make our 40-something actress look dewy and gorgeous.
Not pictured are the other two BFLs (10k variety) doing the exact same thing from two other angles, also through heavy diffusion.
It's a lot of work for us, but boy does it make said actress look gorgeous.
So the next time you're tempted to feel bad about yourself because you don't look as amazing as 40-something actress, remember that you don't have a lighting crew following you around all day :)

The inspiration for our family-owned business, Esperanso, came from our heritage.
The name Esperanso dates back to 1492. It is our family's original name and the one we had when our ancestors moved away from Spain back to Israel.
The motivation to start Esperanso came from something more recent. It came from our aunt and our father's stories.
Growing up as children, we had a common love for one spot in Israel – our aunt's village called Kfar Tikva. Our aunt, Miriam, was born with a lack of oxygen, which damaged her brain at birth. When she was 13-years-old, she moved to the village of Kfar Tikva because of it's support and service to people with special needs. Now, it's her home. Our aunt and her neighbors live there independently. They work, play, love, fight, and do everything else that regular people do, but they do it in their unique way, which we love.
Our father also had a difficult upbringing. When he was 6-years old, he became an orphan. At such a young age, he was left to find a way to survive. He went from one family to another, spending many nights in between families at various shelters around the country. He could've easily become the classic story of a man with a difficult upbringing that went down the wrong path. Instead, he was fortunate to find the right people at the right time to guide him on the right path. He raised us with love and care, teaching us that sometimes, all it takes is one person to believe in you and change your life story forever.
You could be that person for one of the people you'll meet on a trip with Esperanso.
The examples we saw in our childhood became our fuel and our motivation to live with intention and do good for the world. Today, we want to continue to be there for our aunt, our dad, and hundreds of other people but we don't want to keep this love of giving back to ourselves. That's why we have founded a tour company to give travelers from around the world a chance to learn from them and learn how to love unconditionally.
Esperanso has enabled us to fulfill our life's mission. Now, we're passing that empowerment on to you. Everything you'll experience on an Esperanso trip is centered on this philosophy.
What inspiration, motivation, and lessons learned will you take home with you after one of our tours?

Managing director: stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Managing directors operating under Dutch law and fulfilling their statutory duties often find themselves 'stuck' between the different interests of tax law and civil law.
All managing (statutory) directors of legal entities in the Netherlands are obliged to comply with the same principle rule. Each managing director is responsible for fulfilling his (or her, naturally) duties properly, thus acting with 'due care and attention' (section 2:9 Dutch Civil Code). Should the director fail in this duty of care, the consequences may be personal liability for certain damages. Did the director act in the best interests of the company and its related enterprise? This includes all relevant stakeholders, including for instance the parent company.
This is a complex issue, very much based on facts. Numerous books and articles have been written on the topic. Yet it remains, especially in practice, something that is difficult to grasp. A Supreme Court ruling from three years ago, yet not well known, is illustrative in this respect.
We go back to 1 March 2013. The Dutch Supreme Court ruled in a tax matter, concerning a taxpayer and petitioner (a Dutch B.V.) that was part of a group of companies. The taxpayer was a 100% subsidiary of a parent that entered into a credit facility agreement. The agreement was granted by a consortium of banks, and each group company was jointly and severally liable towards the banks for the whole loan. This included the taxpayer.
The taxpayer did not receive additional compensation from its parent nor any other group company for this guarantee. As it is, the company also benefitted, since the group benefitted and the company could use the funding. At some point in time the banks cancelled the loan, and the company was held liable. The tax question regarded the corporate tax deductibility of that loss.
The Supreme Court determined that co-signing and thus assuming group liability for a credit facility under the present conditions was 'purely based on the corporate relations'. Engaging in such a facility, with joint and several liability for all group companies (including a right of recourse that was subordinated to the banks), was regarded as 'a risk that an independent third party would not have taken'. The company might have arranged such a facility independently, according to the Supreme Court.
From a tax point of view I have no judgement on this, since it is not my expertise. However, from a civil law point of view the decision is fascinating since the managing director is now very much stuck between a rock and hard place:
On the one hand, his group and his parent company needed this facility. Further, a facility under these conditions could never have been obtained by the company itself. Finally, it was considered to be in the interests of the company and its enterprise, since it could draw on this facility which was good for business. So, not signing was not an option.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court with this ruling now tells company directors not to enter into such transactions, since they are only based upon the fact that the company forms part of group and thus forms an unacceptable risk for the company.
So, either the director does not act in accordance with the company and the group interest, or the director takes an 'unacceptable risk', which might very well lead to personal liability. Concluding: the director is 'wedged' between tax law and civil law.
The question is how to solve this business predicament? The group company director deserves clarity and perhaps even some simplicity on these matters. It would therefore help if decisions concerning both tax law and civil law would align more than was the case in the decision referred to above. Perhaps then such dilemmas for directors could be avoided. Until then, legal advice is inevitable.

Although the technical sessions where quite well attended, as usual, the most attractive topic was ultrasonic phased arrays. Undoubtedly the most interesting aspect of this event was the exhibition. 202 organizations presented their products and services. In just the first day the exhibition was visited by 3000 people.
ICNDT General Assembly, the meetings of the ISO TC-135 NDT Committee and the Policy and General Purposes Committee of the International Committee of NDT (PGP-ICNDT) were held simultaneously with this Conference. During the ICNDT meeting the new chairman Mike Farley was elected to replace Douglas Marshall. Also in this meeting the German Society for NDT (DGZfP) was elected to hold the 19th WCNDT 2016 in Munich. But before we look so far into the future, the 18th WCNDT will take place in South Africa probably in April 2012. The WCNDT 2012 was introduced by its President Manfred Johannes as well during the closing ceremony other main NDT events like the APCNDT 2009 in Japan and the ECNDT 2010 in Russia where introduced.
Participants in Shanghai where enthusiastic about the social program which included a welcome dinner with Chinese food on the first evening and another evening featuring a Chinese classic concert.

Eight Things You Should Know About Getting Married
Where are my married readers? At the end of this post, I would likely fine you for keeping this a secret from the single fellas!!!!
First of all, marriage is sweet! Yes, take it from me. Its a blissful experience, you just have to know how to play your card well.
On the other hand, it can be a terrible experience which you may live to regret.
If you don't know, there are a lot about marriage which you may have been told, read or observed. In all that, just know that there are some things you may not be clearly told. You may not even observe it cause these married people don't want you to know about it so you don't end up seeing marriage in a bad light! Like I said, it depends on how you play your card.
So here are some things about marriage I bet you may not have been told, read or observed:
1. Marriage won't fill the void
in your life: Some people FLY into marriage so fast that they end of FLYing out faster than they flew in. Growing up in our society, we are made to believe that marriage is the answer to everything. You see a woman patiently waiting for her daughter to graduate from school (some don't even wait till then) then she starts asking her when will the day come (like she is a fairy princess that would make a husband appear at their house). When she isn't getting a favourable reply, she starts consulting all the relatives claiming that her daughter has probably gone mad! Not just the ladies, some guys also experience this. The act of hanging on their children's neck on account of getting married has made some people assume that marriage is everything! They may be pushed into marriage and may end up regretting it.
So no one is to be blamed when brides expect their lives to magically change once they've found Mr. Right.
Even if their life becomes happier, they don't expect it to solve all their problems.
2. One plus one equals two:
The 'two bodies one soul'
mantra sounds very romantic
but a healthy marriage is always about two people coming together and trying to make the relationship work.
Don't beat yourself up trying to make your lives revolve around each other, just relax and know that you will only achieve much when you realize that you both are people from different background, culture and the rest.
3. You won't always find your
partner attractive: You might still be attracted to each other on an intellectual level but physical changes can often lessen the physical attraction.
The Nollywood and Hollywood version of things
that state that if you are not attracted to your partner, you are not in love, is wrong. So don't be alarmed; it's a phase that will pass.
4. The being in love stage ends: I call this the honeymoon stage.
While we all know about
the honeymoon phrase, the
'happily ever after', 'in love
forever' notion is wrong too. So if there are days when you find yourself wondering why you married him, don't worry. The end of this infatuation stage promises better things ahead.
5. You might occasionally 'hate' your partner: We do not use the word 'hate' liberally. There will be times when his sense of humor or his obsession with sports, things that attracted you
to him in the first place, can
drive you up the wall. Don't try to change these things because he is after all the person you fell in love with. And truth be told, you probably drive him up the
wall too and you may not know.
6. Treat him the way you wish to be treated: This is another popular notion, playing right into gender stereotypes. We expect the man to be this romantic hero who brings us the red roses and midnight surprises. Honestly, if you want the romance to last in your marriage, treat your man the
way you wish to be treated. Give him the surprise that you crave for, cook him that picnic treat that you long for and give him that good morning kiss that you want every day. Trust me, its fun.
7. Marriage isn't happily ever after:
Marriage more accurately is a constant work in progress.
The arguments will increase with time, there will always be issues to be dealt with and there will be way too many times that he drives you mad. The only change will be that this time you will be
willing to give it the required
time and patience.
8. A child can't save your marriage:
In fact the addition of these "tiny people" in the house will add to the already existing stress. So if you got the golden advice to, 'have a kid and save your marriage,' don't bother, because it won't really help. Well, except your mother-in-law decides to be woman-hitler!
My advice, give yourself a little time and think about yourself and why you want to get married. You should do this so you don't get married for the wrong reason (making a post on wrong reasons to get married) and end up asking yourself "Why did I ever get married?"

As Pepsi brilliantly reminded us with Lady Gaga's Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show earlier this year, the iconic brand is one of the biggest supporters a musician can have and that includes those acts just making their way into mainstream consciousness.
Today, Pepsi introduces the second wave in its emerging artist platform The Sound Drop. Fuse is happy to exclusively reveal that Bebe Rexha is the first of several talents to be recognized throughout 2017, following Alessia Cara, Jidenna and Lukas Graham who kicked off the program when it launched last August.
The timing is perfect for an artist like Rexha—whose new EP All Your Fault: Pt. 1 drops on Friday and includes "I Got You" that recently hit Top 20 on pop radio—as it gives her supporters, and loads of potential new fans, the opportunity to connect with her and the singer's story via platforms on iHeartRadio, Shazam, Viacom and beyond.
Fuse spoke with Bebe ahead of the announcement. Read below for what she had to say about teaming up with Pepsi, who would co-star in her dream soda commercial, what's coming next in her career and more.
Fuse: Congratulations on being named Pepsi's latest artist
for The Sound Drop! How are you
feeling about this news?
Bebe Rexha: It's a great honor. They're so powerful and the fact that Pepsi does these things is so cool. I know Alessia Cara was their Sound Drop artist last year, and they've had a couple of my friends, it's just cool to be aligned with them.
Pepsi's had a lot of iconic music moments, what are your favorites?
I remember the commercials—Beyoncé, Britney—and doing my own Pepsi commercial is the goal! [Laughs] Or the Super Bowl! But it's one step at a time, you know? It's a cool start and you need to start somewhere so I think this is awesome.
Speaking of Beyoncé and Britney, if you could recreate their famous gladiator commercial with Pink, who would be in it?
Ooh! Kanye! And let's think about this. Maybe Kehlani? Another up-and-coming female artist.
"It gets tough in the entertainment business where a lot of things are based off stunts, and 'Who's the most naked?'"
A big part of the platform is about the artists getting a chance to share their stories. Is it still tough to cut through the clutter?
Yeah, absolutely. Adding to that, they're putting you on such a massive platform and they're giving you the best form of a stage for an introduction to the world. They have such a big following and I do think it's incredible. I think it gets tough in the entertainment business where a lot of things are based off stunts, and "Who's the most naked?" and "Who's dating who?"—it's hard to break through all that noise. It's an amazing opportunity to really tell people who you are. I think if people feel that you're being real and honest, they connect to you. That's why I'm so excited for this and hopefully people connect my story.
The Sound Drop is all about highlighting new artists so I'm curious what acts have caught your eye.
I'm loving LP's "Lost on You." She's been around for awhile, but I love LP. The person I've been the most excited about is this DJ, his name is NEIKED, I'm obsessed. I had a trip to Europe and I heard this song called "Sexual" and I was like, "Oh my gosh." I think it's going to be massive in the U.S. too, it's too incredible. I'm too obsessed with his work. I love DVBBS and think they're really great. I also think Noah Cyrus is killing it too, I'm loving her new single. I think Noah Cyrus is really something to look forward and I can't wait to see what she does next.
This timing aligns nicely with the All Your Fault: Pt. 1 EP dropping on Feb. 17 and the tour kicking off at the top of next month. What can we expect?
I think people will be pleasantly surprised by the EP because it's so much more rhythmic. There's soul and R&B in it, I think that will be unexpected. I can't wait to perform and see how that vibe goes on the stage. I'm working with Adam Blackstone and Omar Edwards, they do a lot of Rihanna's stuff; they're just musical geniuses when they put the music together.
I'm working with Mike Carson, who directed Big Sean's performances and artwork, and we're doing our best to create a world and a vibe that can translate to any room. But I want it to be a show, I want it to feel big and I want it to feel special. This concert will be the first concert for a lot of kids so I want it to be something they won't forget. It'll be dope. I want it to be rhythmic and urban and hip-hop—everything New York and everything that's kind of made me who I am. That's my love for hip-hop, my love for dance and my love for my culture.
You've been killing it on the collaboration side too, "In the Name of Love" with Martin Garrix was huge, anything big you're workin on?
I've been working with David Guetta on his new album—he has some sick shit coming out, the new single is unbelievable. I'm not on the first single, but someone else really big is on it. It's amazing. His new shit is some next level, I don't know how he does it, it's so fucking good...other than that, collaboration-wise, I think it's going to be who's on my songs nowadays. I think "Fuck Fake Friends" with G-Eazy is going to be a pretty big one. People are freaking out over the video, I've been showing people in the industry and they're freaking out. I hope fans love it.

Saw Ho Chi Minh's body?? | Vietnam 2015
Our second day was a fail, so the itinerary we intended for that day were spent today. When it comes to riding a cab, it's best to always ask the hotel staff or the staff of the establishment you're at to talk to the cab driver for you to avoid any confusions or problems. Luckily, the hotel staff from Hanoi Guest House Royale were always so accommodating and nice enough to call us a cab and happily gives us some directions on how to go to the places were interested in going.
Day 3 | Part I
We first went to the Presidential Palace which used to be the home of the governor-general of Indochina. I'm not sure if they allow visitors to come inside, but we just opted to take some photos outside the palace. It's just literally alongside the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum which was our next destination. It was located in Ba Dinh Square which was the place where Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the independence of Vietnam. However, it requires a lot of walking since the entrance is on the other side. You cannot step on the grass nor walk pass the large flower boxes which served as barricades. It may be exhausting, but at least we had the privilege to take a lot of photos of the mausoleum from different angles. As well as to appreciate the wonderful view.
Presenting… the oppas of Vietnam! Lol char!
One thing we have noticed is that there were some on-duty policemen in almost each street of Hanoi. I believe this is something each place should have. It somehow makes the people feel more safe and protected. They were also the ones whom we relied on in terms of asking directions. Most of them do understand English, and at least you know that they won't lead you to the wrong way.
We fell into one to two lines and silently walked inside the hall where his body lies. It was in a huge glass case, and military guards were everywhere. We were not allowed to stop and take a closer look of the body. We just literally passed by for more or less than 15 seconds. I must say that it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience that you shouldn't miss when you go to Hanoi. Not everyone will have a chance to see one of the most well-known leaders in the world in person… even if it's just his preserved body.
After that, I accompanied my dad inside Ho Chi Minh Museum which shows much of Vietnam's history, as well as Ho Chi Minh's. There were tons of displays, photographs, and even memorabilia. This includes Ho Chi Minh's clothes, work out equipment, books, and a lot more. There were really much to see inside, but if you're not into history, you'll definitely feel bored.
Apparently, this pair of sandals were a bit tiny… Hmmm. Lol. This kind of sandals were known as the distinctive sandals of the Vietnamese sandals and were called by the Americans as Ho Chi Minh sandals. They sell these outside the museum.
And then, we passed by Vladimir Lenin's statue in Vietnam specifically located at Dien Bien Phu street. I didn't know he has quite a lot of statues all over the world.
Part II of our third day in Vietnam will be up this week.
Have you ever seen a preserved body in your whole life?
Let me know in the comments below.
Love, Airish

Coping skills or coping strategies can often be overlooked as quick treatment for the blues or anxiety. As a coping skill is a strategy, sometimes it takes some thought to plan or strategize what you're going to do and how your going to do it (which is why I sometimes refer to them as coping strategies). As they are activities or behaviors that you engage in, I don't consider drugs or other chemicals coping skills though can be used while taking your medication. Simply put, they are positive, life affirming activities that are healthy and fun and engaging.
I am curious which coping skills have worked the best for you. I would like to put together a list of 100 coping skills that everyone can access with ease. I have enabled my comments section so you, valued reader, can contribute your favorite coping skills and I'll be sure to include it in my list. I look forward to your comments!

Learn About Drupal Core Libraries with Core Developer Alex Bronstein
Many libraries, such as the New York Public Library, are using Drupal as their primary CMS. Library Journal recently asked Bronstein some questions about his involvement with Drupal, the Core Libraries and the upcoming version 7.
Bronstein, a Software Architect at the web-development company CraftySpace, became involved with Drupal through his work as a freelance web developer. After working through several iterations of a CMS that he created himself, he began working with Drupal, and began to use it exclusively as he worked on library websites through his company's Library Business, called YourLibrarySite.
He spoke with Library Journal about the development of each version of Drupal, stating that it usually "takes two years to develop a new version of Drupal. During the first year and a half the code is said to be 'thawed' and everything is on the table. This is the time to innovate, suggest new features and functionality, and restructure how the system works. The code is then 'frozen' during the last six months, although often this happens in stages until all the code for version is frozen. The purpose of freezing the code is to shift the focus of development from innovating and creating new things to getting the release cleaned up, stable and ready to be released. Typically there is an alpha release, beta release, and release candidate(s) before the actual release."
The interview reveals some important aspects of Drupal that web developers should focus on, particularly the use of Drupal modules. Besides the Drupal Core modules that come with the basic installation, he says "there are 5000 additional modules that can be downloaded from drupal.org. No one needs all of them, but some very impressive web sites have been built with 20-100 carefully chosen modules. Determining which modules to use from the 5000 available can be daunting to someone just starting out with Drupal."
Bronstein recommends looking at the top ten Drupal modules to start with, then move on to other useful modules including the WYSIWYG module, which enables developers to choose from different editor interfaces, the Panel module, which is useful for complex layouts, and the Zen module which is helpful for developers who wish to create their own subthemes. He also mentions two modules that his own company developed: Flexifield, which "allows you to build compound repeatable fields," and Promos, which "provides a convenient UI for managing small bits of content that can appear on a single page or be re-used across multiple pages."
When asked about the upcoming release of Drupal 7, Bronstein stated that it will be more useful to developers right out of the box. It will be easier to use, feature improved contextual links and a better workflow for content editors. He said Drupal 7 will also include Testbot, an automated testing system which checks to see if any particular patch breaks any other features of the CMS. Often by upgrading one module, developers find that the entire system is broken, and have to backtrack, removing modules one by one until they find the culprit. Testbot should rid the CMS of that issue. Another area of improvement in version 7 will be themes and rendering, which will be of high interest to mobile developers.
Library Journal's interview naturally includes a focus on the use of Drupal as the CMS of choice for libaries, and Bronstein reiterates the case, stating that "Drupal has lots of strengths. The framework is highly extensible, which makes it very flexible. The community and development process foster an environment which is innovative. In addition, Drupal has the redundancy of many people working on the same problem from different perspectives. This fosters a diversity of ideas and, as a result, innovation."

SYNOPSIS:Amidst the Cold War in the 70s, the head of Britain's MI6, Control (John Hurt), sends Jim Prideau (Mark Strong) to Budapest to talk a Hungarian General into defecting. The General knows the true identity of the mole within MI6, who has been passing secrets to Karla, the Russian spy master. Control has narrowed down the suspects to five men, and code-named them according to the old nursery rhyme: Tinker for careerist Percy Alleline (Toby Jones); Tailor, the urbane Bill Haydon (Colin Firth); Soldier, Roy Bland (Ciaran Hinds); Poor Man, the weakling Toby Esterhase (David Dencik); and Beggarman, Control's right-hand man, George Smiley (Gary Oldman). Prideau's mission is a terrible failure. Some time later, Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney) recalls Smiley from retirement to find the mole. Control, now dead from a heart attack, may well have guessed right. Smiley, needing a current insider, takes on Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) to retrieve documents from the archives.
Review by Louise Keller:The world of espionage is not simple. Nor is this disarmingly excellent new adaptation of John le Carré's 1974 bestselling novel. Nor should it to be. The esteemed author, now aged 80 makes a brief appearance as a guest in the Christmas party scene towards the end of the film. Ironically it's a scene that doesn't exist in the book but is the moment that exposes a revelation to Gary Oldman's central character of George Smiley, whose code name is Spy. Smiley is MI6's top spy, complete with poker face, calm manner and a soft spot and brought out of his forced retirement to pinpoint who is the double agent.It's an extraordinary ensemble cast that Swedish director Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) has gathered: the best of the best is carefully positioned here and much of the joy of watching the cat and mouse games and revelations that transpire are to do with the cast. The film also looks wonderful, portraying a claustrophobic, shabby world of dull colours and settings. Hoyte Van Hoytema's outstanding cinematography often shows us the action through windows: from the outside looking in.Trust no one says John Hurt's Control, head of the Circus, code name for the British Secret Intelligence Service. There's a rotten apple in their midst - a mole that the Russians have recruited, somewhere at the top - and the proceedings take the form of an intriguing chess game in which the mole is sought out. Screenwriters Peter Straughan and the late Bridget O'Connor have created a sublimely intricate and clever screenplay which slides in and out of flashback so unobtrusively, we almost don't notice it. This is the way we get to know all the characters - in their various interactions with each other.But it is not only the expose of the mole that is important on the canvass on which Le Carré dabbles. The spy culture and climate of uncertainty that forms the backdrop on which the story sits is powerful in itself. Set in 1973, the action mostly takes place in London, although there's an international flavour to the story with sequences in Istanbul, Paris and Budapest, where one of the most memorable scenes takes place - early in the film as a secret mission goes wrong.Oldman is superb as the ever-present Smiley (portrayed by Alec Guinness in the 1979 TV series), while Colin Firth shows great presence as the elegant, confident Bill Haydon, code-named Tailor. The fact that the physicality of the actors is so different works in the film's favour with Toby Jones as good as ever as the smarmy Percy Alleline (Tinker) and Ciaran Hiands's large features are imposing as Roy Bland (Soldier). But they are not the only rotten apple contenders. For maximum enjoyment, do not expect a run-of-the-mill thriller with linear storytelling and a simple resolution. There is far more complexity to absorb.Le Carré is a master of the genre and under Alfredson's dense direction, the revitalisation of this classic is elevated to new heights as well as a new audience.Review by Andrew L. Urban:There never was anything James Bond-ish about John Le Carré's sobering world of 1970s Cold War espionage, in which the characters are indistinguishable from everyday folk in the street - but whose working lives are lived in a parallel world, complicated by fear of betrayal and the swaying loyalties of friend and foe. Tomas Alfredson's team has captured this in a film in which mood and atmosphere count for as much as character and plot.The deliberate pace, the underplayed naturalism of the settings, the closely observed details and the silken threads of relationships all combine to turn the spy thriller into character driven drama. Allegiances and secret, personal motivations abound and Gary Oldman delivers a minimalist George Smiley whose silences are as meaningful as his words. It's a masterful performance in which Oldman, as well known as he is, disappears - or perhaps morphs seamlessly into Smiley. It's the stillness and the depth of characterisation that is haunting - and every bit as effective as was the great Alec Guinness in the 1979 TV mini series.The 7-part mini series had ample time to draw out the myriad elements of the novel, but le Carre and co-writers Peter Straughan and the late Bridget O'Connor have captured the essence with all the subtlety and nuance of the underlying work. There is a great deal of subtext in le Carre's novel exploring some of the social textures of Britain, which is perhaps the one element the film cannot quite manage: issues of class and social manipulation, the coterie of characters whose upper class education and backgrounds make them eminently employable - yet eminently unsuitable for the job, and so on.But this is a splendid film on every level, soaking us in the period while retaining a contempo sensibility - without falling for the temptation to modernise the film language itself. There are no attempts to make it a spy movie for teenage boys. Indeed, there are only four gunshots in the entire film - each one tremendously powerful in its dramatic impact. It's a film consciously made for grown ups.The supporting cast is superb; Tom Hardy continues to impress after his knock-out performance opposite Joel Edgerton as the determined boxer in Warrior and the veterans around him and the foursome playing the central suspects, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds and David Dencik, are masterful.Alfredson shows that his achievement in crafting films of such depth was not a fluke with Let the Right One In (2008).

Our Replacement Conservatory Roof Styles
Still wondering what type of roof would suit your conservatory, or even what it would look like? Everything you need is right here!
Hey! How do i book my Conservatory Survey?
Simple, Just click on the button bellow and contact our friendly team today!
Here you will find everything you need to know about our offers, products and services.
We've even thrown a few All Seasons Roof Tips in to help you
At All Seasons Roof we sell fully tiled and insulated conservatory roof conversions with a choice of ceiling finishes either plaster finish, or tongue and groove UPVC cladding. In addition to the tiled and insulated roofs we also supply just an internal insulation product again with a choice of ceiling finish.
The time needed to install a typical 5 mtr x 3 mtr conservatory with a plaster finish roof is three days, with a shiplap clad ceiling that is reduced to two days. The insulated only roof solutions take typically one day to complete (subject to size).
As well as selling the insulated roof products we also supply a range of Chaumont (fire clay) electric heaters which are extremely efficient and cost effective in terms of their running costs and purchase price, In addition to heating there are further add-on products for conservatories such as lighting, additional plaster works, replacement doors and windows etc.
Energy Efficient
With a history in energy efficiency the focus of this side of the business is to provide greater access for existing owners of their conservatory's to make better use of the investment they have already made thereby extending the period of use across all four seasons of the year.
Market Research
Research carried out on behalf the U.K. government details the actual average use of a conservatory across a 12 month cycle is limited to on average an eight week period (source: Report 6 Conservatories energy follow up survey 2011 Prepared by BRE on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change) which is in reality a very poor return on a lifestyle investment.
In order to improve the use of a conservatory we've created eight clear steps that need to be taken and All Seasons Roof are here to help.
- Savings of up to 90% On Conservatory Heating Bills
- Elimination of Noise Nuisance
- Elimination and/or Reduced Glare
- Eradication of Sun Faded Furniture
- Eliminate Overheating in Summer
- Provision of a Comfortable Ambient Temperature All Year Round
- Eliminate Condensation
- Achieves U-value of 0.15
In our experience, to date, there are four main reasons that inhibit your ability to take advantage of your conservatory all year-round
- It is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter
- It is too noisy due to environment and weather change
- Condensation and damp due to thermal transfer
- Furniture can be affected by UV rays
- Glare which can create a need for blinds

Police have received two reports this week of a man groping two women along the trail and exposing himself to one of the victims. The man is described as being in his 20s, having shaggy hair, wearing a white t-shirt and cargo shorts, and either riding or carrying a skateboard.

Jan 25 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a lower opening for Canada's main stock index on Monday as oil prices fell after Iraq announced record-high production, feeding into a heavily oversupplied market.
March futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.39 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET.
No major economic events are scheduled.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index scored its biggest rally in more than four years on Friday, led by oil and gas stocks as crude prices surged and investors welcomed hints of more stimulus from global central banks.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.28 percent at 7:15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 0.21 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were down 0.25 percent.

The oil price rout and related Canadian dollar slide that is ravaging the country's economy is starting to take its toll on corporate profits, from rail and retail to seemingly unrelated sectors like telecoms.
Canada's northern oil hub Fort McMurray is learning the hard way that there is no such thing as simply going back to normal after a long boom that got cut short by the collapse in crude prices.

Name: PKB Remix 2010
Brewery: Yeastie Boys (Ak/Wgtn, NZ)
Style: Black IPA
Source: Yeastie Boys
Ask the Yeastie Boys when the ideal time for a bottle of PKB is, and they probably won't say "11:30am – with Chinese food." Still, I can hardly think of a bad time to drink PKB, and if there is then Yum Cha isn't it.
The reason I drank this at Yum Cha (after first lying and pretending it was wine, then pleading with the waiter after he read the bottle and found me out) was that I wanted to share it with some fellow beer lovers. This wasn't any old bottle of beer – it was Stu's last bottle of PKB Remix 2010, and one of his favourite Yeastie Boys releases. It was a real privilege to be able to drink it, and one worth breaking all the rules (acceptable drinking times, permitted BYO beverages) for.
Like a molecular gastronomer who presents soup as a mousse, or turns a savory dish into an ice-cream, the PKB was delightful in that it completely messed with my head.
On the nose it was pure American IPA – juicy tangerine, citrus peel and pine hop aromas, perhaps some berries as well. If I'd sniffed it blind I'd be sure it was a much paler beer.
In the mouth though, all that fresh happy citrus met dark roasted malt flavours; cocoa and a little coffee, a hint of toasted wood. It was complex, yet had the balance of an expertly mixed Long Island Ice Tea, in which all those potent ingredients come together in – excuse the awful cliché – perfect harmony.
For a while I sat at the table with a dreamy smile and faraway look in my eyes – sipping the beer and idly shoveling barbecue pork into my mouth – and thinking this – this right here is perfection. What an incredibly lucky lady I am.
Today's official thanks goes to SOBA Auckland, who have done all sorts of useful things over the year – from helping me to meet other local beer geeks, hosting cool events like The Hop and City of Ales, and reminding me of all the beer launches, tap takeovers etc that I'm terrible at remembering myself. And now that I've FINALLY paid my subscription fees, I can say without hypocrisy that all Auckland beer geeks should support a good cause (the cause being good beer) and sign up. Thanks SOBA!

Mind And Body United
The greatest companies of our time have one thing in common, as discovered by researchers—a set of common beliefs of excellence. We all have beliefs, at to some degree or another our beliefs either limit or potential or unlock our greatness. It seems that these common beliefs bring success to those that are taught them and apply them in their business dealing. Are these magical statements or chants with mystical powers. No, not at all. They are beliefs, that if held as true, change the holders view of the world, making people better learners, patient, inquisitive and curious. All of these are the underlying traits of great business.
In a series of articles I have discussed 5 of these beliefs. With there being a total 10 beliefs of excellence, I continue the series here with the belief statement: Mind and Body are part of the Same System.
This may seem as if I am stating the obvious here, however, very few people understand the concept. I cannot separate my mind from the reactions it causes in my body, nor can I change the effect my body has on my mind. It is quite simple—what affects us physically affects us emotionally and vice versa. Have you ever seen the body posture of someone that is excited? Naturally, they smile, their eyes are wide open, their chin is up, and energy abounds. Could you ever associate this type of body language with someone that is down trodden and depressed? No, of course not. Someone that is feeling down trodden and depressed will demonstrate behaviour that is common with that type of thinking.
Have you ever been worried about something? Where you aware of what that worry did to your body? Did you notice some muscle tension? Do you get headaches when you stress? Does your skin react adversely to adversity? Do you suffer weight loss when you feel anxiety? All these are emotional symptoms having a direct result on our physical bodies. What about the other way around? Have you ever had a toothache but where still able to fully enjoy a Friday night out? I doubt it. Do you recall the last time you had serious pain? The chances are that you walked around (or lay down) feeling sorry for your-self, fed up and a little depressed.
Our internal system, i.e.: our perceptions, emotions and thoughts—cause and simultaneous reaction in our body. When we interact with someone else, and we perceive their external reactions—our subconscious mind picks up he signals, and helps us understand their internal communications to make sense of the world. A side effect of our cyber world of emailing and texting has caused people to lose their ability to correctly decipher the signals others send out when we are communicating face to face.
By learning to control either one you automatically learn TO CONTROL THE OTHER. This control will also allow you to perceive and better understand the full—internal and external—representations that other people will provide during their communication with you. This control also allows you to better choose the ideal response for the situation—whether it be an emotional response or a physical response. Instead of just being a reactionary to outside stimulation you assume pro-active responses to those stimuli. This control returns the power and responsibility of reaching our ultimate goal to us personally.
