I've been lucky enough to be asked to create a baby themed project in celebration of Jess and Rory's new bundle of joy. If you've ever been frustrated digging in the bottom of your diaper bag or purse for that all important binky, this project is for you. I'm lucky enough my baby still takes and loves her binky...maybe a little too much sometimes!
So, let's get started.
You'll need:
- The template which you can download HERE.
- 12" by 6" scraps of fabric, one for the outer, one for the contrast, and one for the lining.
- A small 5" square scrap of cotton batting.
- Scraps of interfacing.
- Matching thread.
- One large matching button.
- 1/2 yard of 1/4" wide grosgrain ribbon.
- Measuring tools, cutting tools, and pins.
- Sewing machine.
Cut out all your pieces:
You'll have two big 12.5 by 5.5" rectangles, one for the outer and one for the inner. Three bottom pieces, including a circle of batting. Two 2.5 by 5" rectangles for the button tab, and two pieces of interfacing as shown, one is a 1.5" square, and the other is a 2" by 4.75" rectangle.
Step One. Preparing the pattern pieces.
Interface one of the button tab pieces, and apply interfacing to the outer fabric as shown:
Pin the batting to the outer bottom piece. Quilt them together. I just started in the center, and circled out as I went.
Lastly, make your button tab. With wrong sides together, sew three sides of the tab. (Leave a skinny side open for turning.)
Press the opening closed, and then mark your button hole and sew as you did for the outer pouch edge. I like to put the button where I want it to be, and make two marks at the top and bottom as a guide.
Step Two. Sew the outer pouch.
Sew the outer pouch into a cylinder. Put the short sides, right sides together, and sew at 1/4".
You're ready to attach the bottom to the sides.
Step Three. Sew the pouch liner.
The pouch liner is sewn the same way as the outer pieces were. Sew the rectangle into a tube with a 1/4" seam. Sew the bottom to the tube, with the exception that you want to leave a space at the bottom for turning.
Step Four. Putting it all together.
With the outer pouch still wrong side out, turn the liner right side out and slip it inside the outer pouch.
Sew the along the entire perimeter of the bag, at 1/4" seam.
Time to the liner closed. Fold the opening in, matching the folds to the seam depth as the neighboring seams. Topstitch the entire liner.
Tuck the liner into the pouch, and sew two straight seams to hold the bag together and create the casing for the ribbon. I used my seam gauge as a guide, and sewed one seam just below the button holes, and another just above.
Grab the button tab.
Sew the button in place. It should be centered on the seam, about 1/2" from the bottom of the pouch.
I like to place a toothpick or large pin under the button as I sew it on, this prevents me from sewing it too tightly. I also wrap my thread around the button stitches before I tie the knot.
Final step, thread the grosgrain ribbon through the casing. I like to use a safety pin to hold onto the ribbon as I push it through.
Congratulations! You've completed a sweet little pouch. It's washable, as fashionable as you want it to be, and would also be a great treasure keeper as baby grows up.
As seen on Craft Gossip and One Pretty Thing.

It seems that things have been running very smooth lately. Some spam, but it's been nailed pretty well thanks to our admin/mod team.
The question I'm posing to you guys is is there anything that you want added or changed? I'm going to be upgrading us to the latest version of IPB soon, but I'm pretty sure it's just bugfixes and not features or anything.
17 Jul 2008
I have to admit, I never really touch it anymore because of other priorities. Would anyone be interested in maintaining the ELSI? Skillsets required would be PHP, HTML and MySQL.
The code probably needs lots of updating. I wrote it when I was just getting into PHP, but it seems solid enough in that it's working. Surprisingly, it's still access rather frequently.
If noone speaks up, I might try toying around with adding more features when I have the time. If interested, just post in here or PM me and give me an idea of your skills so I know I'm not giving it away to anyone.

Has anyone tried this? Is it worth it for us to create a sub-forum for it? From everything I've read, it seems like a pretty cool device and is kinda in the realm of the other devices we support here.
18 Dec 2007
Just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. 2007 was a rocky year for us, but we seem to be settled in now so 2008 should hopefully be smooth sailing. I also wanted to give a special thanks to the Wiki staff for taking charge and managing the wiki. I don't know much in that area, so I really appreciate them doing that. Make sure you guys thank them if you happen to stumble into their forum
Anyway, be safe and have fun. I'll toast a drink to this fine community come New Years

Most of you probably know about the OLPC Laptop program. Pretty neat little laptop thingy they have going. They have their two week 'give 1 get 1' program and it's for a good cause.
Anyway, I'm gonna order one just because I think it's a good way to promote Linux and I'll probably give the Laptop as a Christmas gift to one of my little cousins. Figured I'd let those that haven't been following it know about it in case they were interested.
Here's a link to the program: http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/index.php
And some specs on the laptop itself: http://bc.tech.coop/blog/071112.html

Geodesy is the science which makes global positioning possible. Geodesy is literally the science of measuring and monitoring the size and shape of the Earth and the location of points on its surface. NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is responsible for the development and maintenance of a national geodetic data system that is used for navigation, communication systems, and mapping and charting.
The Global Positioning Tutorial is an overview of the history, essential elements, and modern methods of geodesy.
The Roadmap to Resources complements the information in the tutorial, leading you to additional information and data resources from NOAA and other reliable resources.

First at regionals. First at state. That was good for a trip to Dallas for Daniel Gautz for a chance to compete in the national competition.
Gautz joined 14 other Lenawee County students who qualified for the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) finals earlier this summer. He competed in the Researched Persuasive Speaking category.
Gautz didn't come through with a first-place finish in Texas, but he was pleased with his performance.
"My coach had me practice a lot and I felt quite comfortable up on stage," he said.
Students prepare by writing a researched paper on a topic. Then comes the effort to become completely familiar with the subject—familiar enough to give a five-minute speech. The talk is given before three judges and a timer. The goal is to talk for five minutes without going over the limit.
Contestants are allowed to consult note cards, but Gautz and most serious contenders avoid them. His talk—"Vegetarianism: a healthy alternative—was given from memory, and it helped that he knows the topic from experience. He's been eating a vegetarian diet for four years.
Gautz, a recent Morenci graduate, took EMT classes at the LISD TECH Center and his teacher, Tom Ayers, served as his speech coach.
About 5,000 students from across the country competed at the national convention and Gautz enjoyed his time there immensely.
"It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of people to meet," he said.
During their free time, students were advised to travel with a buddy when they went out to look around the city. When Gautz abided by that rule, he said he just picked out someone at random and asked if they wanted to go exploring.
"It was fun trying to navigate the bus and rail systems," he said.
Gautz enjoyed his time with the HOSA organization—"I like to say it's the hospital version of FFA"—and he'll soon be leaving for classes at Grand Valley State.
He's thinking of putting his LISD TECH knowledge into practice by obtaining part-time EMT work. He isn't sure what he'll major in at college, but he currently has a long-range goal of obtaining a doctorate in physical therapy.
And if he has the occasion to talk in front of a crowd, that challenge should now come more easily. His speeches so far have only been in front of a panel of three judges, but he does have a little crowd experience. It came after the announcement that he won the state title in the speech competition.
"I did a back-flip on the stage before several hundred people."

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - It's "Conference Tournament Week" for schools in the Little East Conference, and Plymouth State University will be right in the thick of four fall post-season tourneys.
The four Panther teams still alive, field hockey, volleyball and men's and women's soccer, will be trying to do what the PSU women's tennis team accomplished in October - win the Little East Conference Championship. The field hockey and volleyball teams will begin their quests for an LEC title with first-round home games, while the two soccer squads will hit the road in their first contests.
The Panther FIELD HOCKEY team captured its last seven regular season games to storm into the playoffs with a 13-3 overall record. PSU finished 8-2 in conference play, and as the #2 seed in this week's tournament, will host Eastern Connecticut in a first-round match-up Tuesday (Nov. 2) at Arold Field (2:30 p.m.). The semifinals and championship games are slated for Friday-Saturday (Nov. 5-6) at top-seeded and regular season champion Keene State. PSU won three straight LEC Championships from 2000-02 before being knocked out in last year's semifinals.
The PSU WOMEN'S SOCCER squad struggled during the second half of the regular season and finished in a tie for fifth in the LEC with UMass Dartmouth, both schools at 2-4-1 in conference play. The Panthers, 6-9-1 overall, won the tiebreaker over UMD and earned the #5 seed, and will visit #4 seeded Southern Maine Tuesday (Nov. 2) for a first-round game (2:00 p.m.). The semifinals and championship games are slated for Friday-Saturday (Nov. 5-6) at top-seeded and regular season champion Keene State.
The Panther MEN'S SOCCER team finished in third place with a 4-3-0 LEC mark, and will make its sixth straight appearance in the LEC semifinals. PSU, 9-6-1 overall, will make a return visit to #2 seeded Rhode Island College for Wednesday's semifinal (2:30 p.m.) after dropping a 3-0 decision to the Anchormen in last Saturday's regular season finale. Top-seeded and regular season champion Keene State hosts #4 seed Eastern Connecticut in Wednesday's other semifinal, with the LEC Championship game slated for Saturday (Nov. 6) at the site of the highest remaining seed.
The PSU VOLLEYBALL team is enjoying another outstanding season, posting a 25-11 regular season overall record. The Panthers finished in a four-way tie for the LEC regular season title, joining RIC, Western Connecticut and Eastern Connecticut with 5-2 records. After the tiebreakers, PSU received the #3 seed in the conference tournament, and will host #6 seed Keene State on Wednesday (Nov. 3) in a first-round match (6:00 p.m.). The semifinals and championship matches are slated for Friday-Saturday (Nov. 5-6) at top-seeded Rhode Island College.
The LEC tournament champion in all four sports receives an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament.

It's great when a brand puts some effort into their milestone celebrations and here's a nice one from Vodafone Ireland as they reached 100,000 Facebook likes and 20,000 Twitter followers.
Vodafone created this video to say thanks to their fans. The video features 10,000 sim cards with some great stop motion video footage. The sim cards were individually moved to create the stop motion and a lot of hard work must have gone into making it appear so smooth.
To give you an idea of how much work went into this here's a short video showing the behind the scenes action!

Apple hasn't updated its office suite significantly since 2009 and its business users aren't happy, according to a report.
ZDNet reported that unnamed sources said that Apple has placed most of its iWork development team to work on Pages, Numbers and Keynote for iOS -- projects that receive regular updates while iWork for OS X seems largely ignored.
Most of the reporting revolves around unnamed sources, but the gist of it is that some Mac users are abandoning iWork because of the "second-class citizenship" and performance lag. So, is Apple just walking away from iWork because its plan is to place all its eggs in one iOS basket?
U.S. & World
Apple should be working on a new release of iWork that's slick and attractive otherwise it's ceding its marketshare to Microsoft. (Although the iWork pricetag, $60, is much more attractive than Office, $220.) It's true that the desktop market is declining, but not so fast that a tech company can ignore it completely, otherwise Microsoft would already be walking away.

In a season of heart-stopping victories, the Murrieta Valley girls basketball team finally saw a stop it couldn't get.
The Nighthawks' dream season come to an end against one of the best teams --- and players --- in the state, as 6-foot-3 senior center Erica McCall erupted for 37 points, 19 rebounds and 11 blocks to lead top-seeded Bakersfield Ridgeview past visiting No. 8 Murrieta Valley, 58-40, in a CIF Southern California Division II regional quarterfinal Saturday night.
Murrieta Valley simply had no answer for McCall, a Stanford-bound McDonald's All-American, as the Wolf Pack jumped to a double-digit lead in the first quarter it never relinquished. The Nighthawks did respond in the second half, cutting the deficit to 12 points in the third quarter, but they couldn't get any closer.
Ridgeview (28-3) certainly posed the toughest test Murrieta Valley (27-6) had seen this season. And though the Nighthawks finished on the wrong end in this battle of Division II section champions, they held positive thoughts afterward.
"I'm never going to forget this," said senior forward Karen Wolf, who scored a team-high 10 points. "I've talked about --- from being a freshman to a senior --- the journey I've been on personally, and with this team. It's just been amazing."
So was McCall, whose long reach and tremendous footwork allowed her to dominate the Nighthawks in the paint ---- no matter what coach Scott Richards threw at her defensively.
McCall had a double-double Saturday night ---- by the end of the first quarter. She shot 14-of-21 from the field, had 14 first-half rebounds, tallied 11 blocks, and, just for good measure, stepped out and hit a 3-pointer on her second field-goal attempt of the night.
"She's amazing," Richards said. "We tried every defense we had against her."
McCall pointed to her own team's pressing man defense as the key against the Nighthawks. The Wolf Pack forced an uncharacteristic number of Murrieta Valley turnovers ---- 17 overall ---- and held them to 6-of-21 shooting from the field in the first half. Ridgeview's percentage wasn't much better at 13-for-36, but having 15 additional attempts was a huge boost.
"This was definitely one of our better defensive nights," McCall said. "And coming into this game, we definitely had a lot of energy."
The Nighthawks appeared a little shell-shocked early but picked things up in the second half after trailing 30-14 at the break. With McCall on the bench after tweaking her knee late in the second quarter --- she said afterward she'll be fine for the next round ---- the Nighthawks twice got the lead down to 12, and they ended the third quarter trailing 41-28 after Aliah Marshall scored off a steal.
But McCall added another 10 points in the fourth quarter as Ridgeview put the game out of reach.
"I think in the first half, we were definitely a little out of our element," Richards said. "We talked about it at halftime, and I told them, 'This is the last 16 minutes of the game. There's no bickering. You work as hard as you can out there, and whatever happens, happens. But for you seniors, you're going to remember the last 16 minutes for the rest of your life.
"They went out there, and I thought they had a great second half."
Ridgeview advanced to Tuesday's Division II SoCal semifinal at home against Riverside North. Murrieta Valley ended its season in the second game of the state tournament, with its first section championship won eight days ago against Culver City, in tow.
"Above all else, we have a CIF championship that we won, and that was our main goal," Richards said. "State is just a little extra cherry on top. For us to not only get there, but win our first (state tournament) game in history is awesome."

But it actually turns out that being bored barely takes less brain activity than being active and that it serves a role in the brain of making you get off your ass (physically or metaphorically) and do something else. I'd talk about this topic a little more, but I'm kind of bored by it. [NY Times]

Mold Abatement in Sugar Hill, GA
We can help you with your mold abatement needs!
Mold and mildew can wreak havoc on your environment. They can grow on hidden surfaces such as the back of drywall, wallpaper or paneling, the tops of ceiling tiles, and the underside of carpets and pad. Proper identification and containment of mold and mildew is critical to avoid additional exposure and cross-contamination. At Level Creek Property Restoration our highest priority is the health and safety of the building occupants. Our technicians can examine the contamination and recommend treatment options.
We solve mold problems. When mold, bacteria or odor affect your indoor air quality, you must take action to protect the health of those in the environment and protect the value of your property.
Facts About Mold
Mold spores develop in dark, damp environments. When these spores are agitated, they become airborne. They can be inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or ingested with food. While some people are not affected negatively, others in the same environment may be affected. Mold can grow in many places, behind a shower wall, in a dark hallway closet, on a bathroom ceiling, in an enclosed laundry room, or under a kitchen sink anywhere the environment is dark and damp. Since prolonged exposure may lead to health problems for anyone living or working in these environments, homeowners and landlords should act quickly to destroy any mold spores as soon as they are discovered.

Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Travis Wood hit the go-ahead, pinch-hit, RBI double in the 13th inning which sent Chicago past Miami, 5-4, in the opener of a three-game series. Jacob Turner (2-5) set down the first two batters he faced, but Junior Lake singled and Wood -- batting for reliever Carlos Villanueva -- smacked a double to center which allowed Lake to score. Villanueva (3-5) walked two but turned in two scoreless frames to snag the win. "Whenever he holds a bat, he gives us a chance to win," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said of his pitcher and game-winning batsman. James Russell earned his first save of the season by retiring the side in order in the home half. "Usually in games like that whoever gets the big two-out knock wins," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. Starlin Castro hit a three-run homer in a four-run sixth inning for the Cubs, who have won three of their last four thanks to overcoming an early 3-0 deficit. Giancarlo Stanton launched a two-run blast and scored twice for the Marlins, who have dropped four of their last five. The Marlins jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. Jake Marisnick singled, stole second and scored on Stanton's blast to right two batters later. Miami tacked on another run in the third. Stanton hit a two-out single, stole second and raced home on Casey McGehee's single to left. Fish starter Tom Koehler, meanwhile, was cruising until giving up four runs in the sixth. Counterpart Jason Hammel reached on a sacrifice bunt attempt, then Luis Valbuena and Justin Ruggiano singled to load the bases. Hammel crossed the plate when Anthony Rizzo grounded out and Castro followed with a three-run homer to left, making it 4-3 for Chicago. But the Marlins quickly tied things up in the bottom half. Marcell Ozuna tripled to right-center field and scored on Adeiny Hechavarria's sacrifice fly. Miami left the bases loaded in the seventh. Justin Grimm filled the bags with one out before handing the ball over to Wesley Wright. Garrett Jones grounded into a fielder's choice prior to Brian Schlitter getting Ozuna looking at strike three. Jones just missed a game-winning homer in the 10th. After McGehee led off with a walk, Jones smacked Hector Rondon's 0-2 offering just wide of the foul pole in right. Jones then struck out swinging. Ozuna singled to put men on first and second, but Hechavarria and Jeff Mathis went down swinging to keep it a 4-4 game. Both teams stranded a runner on second in the 11th, and Rizzo flied out to left with two on in the Cubs' 12th. Game Notes Hammel gave up four runs on eight hits while striking out nine over six innings, and Koehler allowed four runs on five hits with five strikeouts over six frames ... Chicago improved to 4-4 on its current 10-game road swing ... McGehee extended his hit streak to 11 games ... The Marlins today made a flurry of moves before the game. The promotion of top prospect Andrew Heaney from Triple-A New Orleans was the most notable move. He will make his MLB debut on Thursday against the Mets at Marlins Park. The Marlins also placed outfielder Christian Yelich on the 15-day disabled list, transferred catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia from the seven-day concussion list to the 15-day DL ... Additionally, Miami designated pitchers Kevin Slowey and Randy Wolf for assignment, as well as optioned infielder Donovan Solano to Triple-A New Orleans, while recalling pitcher Anthony DeSclafani, infielder Justin Bour and Marisnick from New Orleans.

Employee Rights
There have been substantial changes in the field of employment protection in Ireland in recent years. All legisation changes are described in a series of documents which can be accessed here. Full details of the legislation is available at http://www.irishstatutebook.ie
As an employee, you are entitled to receive certain basic employment rights. Although some industries entitle employees to different rights, the list below is the minimum you should receive.
- A written statement of terms and conditions of employment. Whilst the full contract does not have to be in writing, certain terms and conditions of your employment must be stated in writing within two months of starting employment. These would typically include the method of calculating pay and whether or not there is a sick pay scheme in operation. (For fixed term employees it would also include in what circumstances your employment will come to an end.)
- A written statement of pay or 'payslip'. Your payslip should set out gross pay and list all deductions made from it.
- A minimum wage
Experienced adult workers in Ireland are entitled to be paid €9.25 per hour [from 1 January 2017]. However, the national minimum wage (NMW) does not stop an employer from offering a higher wage.
There are some exceptions to the minimum wage, including those employed by close relatives, those aged under 18 and trainees or apprentices.
|National Minimum Wage Rates [2017]
|Minimum hourly rate of pay
|% of minimum wage
|Experienced adult worker
|Aged under 18 (70% of minimum wage)
|First year from date of first employment aged over 18
|Second year from date of first employment aged over 18
Note: There are also certain industries in Ireland where a higher minimum wage applies, including the construction industry. Further information on these industries is available here.
*From 1st January 2018 the Minimum wage rate increases to €9.55.
Young people
As a young person, you have rights when you are at work. It is important that you make yourself aware of your rights and entitlements and exercise them.
For a regular full-time job, the minimum age is 16. If you are aged 14 or 15:
- You can only do light work during the school holidays.
- You can take part in work experience during term time.
- You must have at least a 3-week break during the summer holidays.
- You may be employed in film, theatre, sports or advertising (under licence).
Maximum hours of work per week
As a young person, you cannot be asked to work beyond the maximum hours for your age.
|Hours of work
|aged 14 years
|aged 15 years
|aged 16/17/ years
|During term time
|8 hours per week
40 hours per week
(max. 8 hours per day)
|During holiday time
35 hours per week
(max. 7 hours per day)

|40 hours per week
|Work experience
40 hours per week
(max. 8 hours per day)

(max. 8 hours per day)
|40 hours per week
All workers have the following basic rights
- A maximum working week average of 48 hours a week based on an average calculated over a four, six, or twelve-month period depending on the industry. Your employer must keep a record of how many hours you work.
- Unpaid breaks during working hours
- You have the right to a 15-minute break if working four and a half hours of work and a 30-minute break if working six hours of work.
- Annual leave from work
- Full-time workers have the right to four working weeks paid annual leave per year. Part-time workers have the right to a proportional amount of annual leave based on the amount of time they work.
- A minimum amount of notice before dismissal
- You are entitled to a minimum amount of notice if your employment ceases. The minimum amount of notice depends on the length of service.
Employment Law Explained is a usefull information booklet downloadable from the National Employment Rights Authority.
The main bodies dealing with the enforcement of employment rights are:
- National Employment Rights Authority (NERA)
- The National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) was established under the Social Partnership Agreement "Towards 2016" to achieve a national culture of employment rights compliance. It provides information to employees and employers through its information unit, monitors employment conditions through its inspection services and can enforce compliance and seek redress.
- Rights Commissioners (attached to the Labour Relations Commission)
- Rights Commissioners investigate disputes, grievances and claims that individuals or small groups of workers refer under a range of employment legislation.
- Labour Court
- The Labour Court was established to provide a free, comprehensive service for the resolution of disputes about industrial relations, equality, organisation of working time, national minimum wage, part-time work and fixed-term work matters.
- Employment Appeals Tribunal
- The Employment Appeals Tribunal is an independent body established to provide a speedy, inexpensive and relatively informal means for adjudication of disputes on employment rights under the various legislations that come within the Tribunal's scope. Their goal is that customers using the service will be satisfied overall with the service they have received from the Tribunal.
- Equality Tribunal
- The Equality Tribunal is the impartial forum to hear or mediate complaints of alleged discrimination under equality legislation. It is independent and quasi-judicial and its decisions and mediated settlements are legally binding.
- Health and Safety Authority
- The HSA is the state sponsored body in Ireland with responsibility for securing safety, health and welfare at work and operate under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. Working in partnership with employers and employees, our responsibility is to ensure that safety and health in the workplace is a key priority for everyone.
The Department of Social Protection is responsible for compliance with the
social welfare aspects of employment and the Revenue Commissioners are responsible for the tax compliance aspects of employment law.
The Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS) of the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform has a role in relation to employment permits, as does the Garda National Immigration Bureau.
The Pensions Board has a role in relation to occupational pensions and Personal Retirement Savings Accounts (PRSAs).
Employer Rights & Responsibilities
Employment law has become increasingly complex over the past number of years and there are over 30 pieces of major employment legislation in Ireland. The need for organisations to ensure compliance with legislation is greater than ever, as the level of claims, inspections and fines are increasing each year.
IBEC (Irish Business and Employers Confederation) provide a useful section on Employment Law on their website to assist employers understand the issues they may be faced with.

Issue Solved when installing php7.2-mcrypt
I was also facing the same issue. Check this link https://stackoverflow.com/q/48275494/7713811
to get the right solution for installing it in PHP
debian/ubuntu php5 (>= 5.4.0~rc6-1) has introduced two new commands:
php5enmod and php5dismod
# install the extension
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
# you can see that it's installed by the presence of the .ini file
cat /etc/php5/mods-available/mcrypt.ini
# enable it
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
# reload Apache to make use of the extension
sudo service apache2 reload
On ubuntu 8 (hardy), the mcrypt library seems to be here.
So I just created mcrypt.ini in /etc/php5/conf.d and added this one liner.
Resolved my problem on Ubuntu 14.04:
$sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
$sudo php5enmod mcrypt
Also on Ubuntu, make sure you actually have php5-mcrypt installed. You can install it with:
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt
If you get any errors, you may need to enable the 'universe' repository, explained here:
Using PHP version "PHP Version 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4" and Ubuntu 12.0.4 on Apache2...
Make sure you have mcrypt installed and active on your php5 install. Use "sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt" to install, that should sort the issue.
The following link solved my problem
[Tue Dec 24 12:42:33.003683 2013] [:error] [pid 8448] [client 127.0.0.1:33146] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mcrypt_decrypt() ...
For PHP-7 UNIX Server use this
sudo apt-get install mcrypt php7.0-mcrypt
sudo service apache2 restart
To make sure that mcrypt doesn't fail to load when
using Windows XP , Apache 2 and php 5, even if all the required procedure to install it has been accomplished already, copy libmcrypt.dll, which is normally in the php main directory, into the php\ext directory.
PROBLEM: cannot load mcrypt extension. please check your php configuration
I have done as suggested by the contributor before me and copied libmcrypt.dll from F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8
to C:\WINDOWS\system32 . This did not work on it's own. I found other advice as follows and now mcrypt is working.
Go to F:\wamp\bin\php\PHP52~1.8\php.ini
change ;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
to extension=php_mcrypt.dll
(ie. remove ; )
now go to the following 2 files and do the same:
Please adjust the directory location per your own installation.
On Windows installations, for the dynamic extension (extension=php_mcrypt.dll) to load properly, you must copy libmcrypt.dll from your PHP root folder (e.g. C:\PHP) to the following location:
With this done, the dynamic extension will load up just fine.

Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church present their fifth annual "Candlelight Festival of Lessons and Carols" tonight at 6 at 56 Highway 6 in Dillon. More than ninety years ago in England, the first "Festival Service of Nine Lessons and Carols" was held on Christmas Eve in 1918. It was planned by Eric Milner-White, who at the age of 34 had been appointed Dean of King's College Chapel in Cambridge, England. A revision of the service was made in 1919, involving rearrangement of the lessons and from that date the service has always begun with the hymn "Once in Royal David's City." Some carols have been changed over the years and new ones introduced but the backbone of the service, the lessons and prayers, has remained virtually unchanged. Lord of the Mountains welcome all those whose wish to participate in the special worship experience.

Silicon Valley tech companies are aggressively seeking looser requirements to "hire American workers first" to fill tech jobs, potentially splitting the bipartisan Gang of Eight coalition that put together the huge immigration bill. The Senate Judiciary Committee worked through a series of tech-related amendments Tuesday that revealed divisions over the issue in both parties.
The bill expands H-1b visas from 65,000 to 110,000 a year, and as high as 180,000 if demand is high. The bill also eases the way to permanent residency for these workers as well as immigrants who have earned an advanced degree from a U.S. university in science, technology, engineering or math. The bill would eliminate per-country backlogs of green card applications that have kept many H-1b workers from attaining permanent residency.
At the same time, the bill restricts the use of H-1b visas by Indian outsourcing firms, or any company that is overly "dependent" on H-1b workers. Tech companies have sought these provisions for years. Facebook and Google have been especially prominent in shaping the bill, spending millions of dollars this year lobbying.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, is championing the tech position, while Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wants tougher restrictions, often with help from Sen. Richard Durbin, R-Ill. Grassley and Durbin have long argued that H-1b visas undermine the wages of American tech workers.
The tension was on vivid display on a Grassley amendment that would have required all companies to make a "good faith effort" to hire Americans first for tech jobs instead of turning to H-1b's.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, (D-CA),. and several other Democrats, including Sheldon Whitehouse (RI), Patrick Leahy (VT) and Al Franken (MN) expressed sympathy for the idea. Feinstein recalled a meeting she had in San Diego with American workers, "all above age 50, all had been replaced by H-1b workers," Feinstein said. "You saw it clearly, they were traditional engineers, the technology had moved on," and companies instead wanted, "young, flexible, highly qualified techies, generally Asian in California. I felt very badly for these people. If you're above the age of 50 it's very hard for an American to get another job."
Feinstein said all the amendment required is that a company try "to recruit a qualified American worker. What's wrong with that?"
Gang of Eight Democrat Chuck Schumer (NY) said such a rule would be too "elastic," asking, "How do you prove good faith?" He said a company could interview seven people but the government might decide it should have interviewed 14.
The amendment was considered a poison pill that could bring down the entire bill. Sympathetic Democrats said they would vote down the amendment to save the overall bill, but expressed a desire to work out a compromise later.
Robert Hoffman, head of government relations for the Information Technology Industry Council, a tech trade group, said tech companies are adamant about preserving their hiring flexibility, without bureaucratic scrutiny or the threat of litigation.
"The requirements are such that…companies could have each hiring decision scrutinized," Hoffman said, even if the vast majority of the company's workforce are Americans. He compared such "hire Americans first" efforts to telling director Stephen Spielberg that he had to interview American actors before hiring Daniel Day Lewis to play Abraham Lincoln.
"You're telling IBM that they can't hire the top person at MIT until they've offered the job to an American first," Hoffman said. He said companies would respond by hiring the foreigner anyway and placing him or her overseas, at a loss to the United States. "Canada will say, come on, bring them here," Hoffman said.
The committee easily approved an amendment to increase green card fees for skilled workers from $500 to $1000, to pay for educating U.S. students in technology fields, especially the disadvantaged and women. Most of the money would go to states to develop programs in science, technology, engineering and math, the so-called STEM fields.

AMZN: Morgan Stanley Ups to Buy; Distribution May Yield Greater Slice of E-Commerce Pie
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Amazon.com (AMZN) are up $10.43, or 4%, at $269.58 after Morgan Stanley's Scott Devitt today raised his rating on the stock to Overweight from Equal Weight, and assigned a $325 price target, after hiking his estimate for how much of the global e-commerce pie he thinks the company can make in coming years.
According to Devitt, based on the findings of a Morgan Stanley e-commerce "blue paper" released today, investors are underestimating how formidable the company's distribution network is around the world, an asset that may help it win even in tough overseas markets such as China:
The most immediately-relevant takeaway from the report is that fulfillment will be the key to eCommerce success throughout the next cycle. Our conviction to upgrade Amazon.com is based on the international opportunity, but it is supported by the disparity between Amazon.com and other online / offline competitors' fulfillment assets. Looking at the three countries where Amazon.com does not have a physical presence (Brazil, Russia and Australia), unreliable freight / logistics, low credit card penetration and low population density can all be cited as reasons why Amazon.com may not yet have fulfillment assets in those regions. However, when considering the countries where Amazon.com does have fulfillment assets, it is important to note that there is not a single other company in the world that operates in all of the same regions. Amazon.com appears to be redefining the fulfillment learning curve as it grows, and this may likely lead to sustainable barriers to any other global entrant.
Devitt's estimate for total e-commerce sales globally in 2016 is $1 trillion. He now thinks Amazon can take $258 billion worth of the total "gross merchandise value," or GMV, of that one trillion in 2016, which would produce $166 billion in net sales for Amazon. That's higher than the $225 in GMV he had been predicting previously, and the $145 billion in net sales he had been modeling as a consequence. Amazon's roughly 23% share of gross merchandise value would be up from what he estimates was probably 14% last year.

man what a great flick.
It's true what you're hearing - it is a little preachy. But that's ok, because its a flat out masterpiece.
This film is a culmination of the collaboration of the best of the best in the story, animation, and sound design fields. As an audio guy, I think that this has to be the most interesting sounding films I've heard in a long time, and I loved every little sonic nuance about it.
so, I'm going to geek out for a bit now.
First things first, here are some short features with Ben Burtt - who was credited with sound design/character voice design, and the voice of Wall-E - and has been getting a fair amount of traditional media press since the release of the movie.
The La Times
In the end, Burtt used his own heavily tweaked voice for Wall-E's rudimentary speech. "I was experimenting with processing human voice input," he says, "and it was like Dr. Jekyll in his lab: 'Well, there's nobody else around -- I guess I'll drink the potion.'
Info and a cool behind the scenes movie courtesy of FilmSoundDaily
the Ben Burtt interviews on FilmSoundDaily (All kinds of gold in there. Check them out)
a thread on the Gearslutz forum about the film. This is a forum where pro audio guys hang out, and the response is universally positive to the film.
the Kyma, Burtt's most likely weapon of choice when designing the voices in Wall-E. (you can see him working his wacom tablet around on it in one of the filmsounddaily vids)
I think the film is another in a string of superior efforts out of Pixar. The story always comes first, and in this film almost everything except for the story has been stripped away. Wall-E is an emotional flick, but it is one in a very universal and authentic way. With the language mostly stripped away, the robots of the film are essentially very intricate puppets that are masterfully coaxed around a series of spectacularly detailed sets. And they're not just dancing, they're genuinely connecting with their lives, thier work, and each other in a way that the humans in the film are not.
(I'll note that our lack of ability to connect is a very prominent recurring theme in lots of the films I've seen recently - There Will be Blood, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, even back to The Matrix and V for Vendetta. Maybe that speaks more to my taste in film than to the state of filmmaking, but hey whatever.)
The point is that the story is told to a large degree in pantomime, and it's done brilliantly. It so flat out refreshing to not have plot hammered down my neck. The subtlety of all of it - story, imagery, and sounds - survives, and the film is all the better for it.
Go see it. I've run out of words and i have not done it justice.

This is an excellent recipe, however, after keeping this recipe in the refrigerated as directed over night, I came back to mushy cookies that you couldn't even pick up! I ended up pressing them all into a square and freezing (which turned into a very yummy snack for a very hot memorial day). I would warn to make the day of and to put these out immediately. After spending the time to arrange the fruit to look perfect, it seemed like such a waste to have to mush it all together! Delicious flavors though - I used 2 Tablespoons of Orange Juice to sweeten the cream cheese instead of powdered sugar and the flavor was perfect!

I have put Blueberries in the middle for the 4th of July
Jul 27, 2010
They were a huge success with most gobbling down one after another !! Very easy, not tons of time, and attractive.

To make even faster, use store bought sugar cookies, frost and garnish with any fresh fruit - Really good flavor.

The maritime attorneys Keith Brais & Richard Rusak of the Brais law firm had the honor to represent Mr. Lloyd Hughes. Mr. Hughes was an assistant engineer for Ft. Worth, Texas based CSC Applied Technologies, LLC. CSC Applied Technologies was awarded a contract from the United States Navy to furnish all personnel, services and such other resources necessary to maintain and operate the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC). Located on Andros Island in the Bahamas, AUTEC's mission is to provide instrumented operational areas in a real world environment to satisfy research, development, test and evaluation requirements and operational performance assessment of war fighter readiness in support of the full spectrum of maritime warfare.
As a part of his shipboard responsibilities, Mr. Hughes was required to maintain, repair and replace, as needed, shipboard light fixtures aboard the Naval research vessel RANGE ROVER. On April 8, 2010, Mr. Hughes was attempting to replace a light bulb within an exterior halogen light fixture mounted to the fascia high above one of the ship's decks. As he was trained and as he'd done on numerous previous occasions, Mr. Hughes utilized a ladder to reach the light fixture. He loosened some and later all of the bolts holding the fixture in place in order to lower the fixture in a controlled fashion so he could work on it on deck. The fixture, however, did not lower away from the fascia as expected and, instead, remained fixed to the fascia because it had been painted over which caused it to be stuck. At this point, Mr. Hughes carefully pulled on the light fixture to break it free when it broke loose unexpectedly. Mr. Hughes' momentum, awkward position on top of the ladder and the unavailability of a co-worker caused him to fall off the ladder and strike the deck.
Mr. Hughes suffered serious injuries, including but not limited to: (a) a comminuted distal left tibia fracture a/k/a pilon fracture, (b) a proximal fibula fracture, and (c) a mild acute compression fracture superior endplate of the L1. Additionally, he suffered a broken small toe and badly bruised tail bone. He also developed compartment syndrome and later underwent bilateral (both sides) fasciotomy of his left leg. These surgeries left horrific scars to Mr. Hughes' leg. Later he was diagnosed by his treating neurologist with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) a/k/a Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) in his left leg. CRPS or RDS is a condition whereby a person experiences a burning type pain, tenderness and swelling of an extremity associated with varying degrees of sweating, warmth and/or coolness, flushing, discoloration and shiny skin. His injured required him to undergo multiple surgical procedures including a fasciotomy.

Utah- Life Elevated
As I walked into Utah, it looked like I was entering some strange post-apocalyptic world where the weeds have grown through pavement, the sky is dark and ominous, and the only traces of human life look decades old. I was on Old Route 6 & 50, what used to be a major travel route across the US before I-70 was made. It was stormy and grey, and instead of a shiny "Welcome to Utah" sign, there was a stone obelisk bearing the remnants of the letters "UT", graffitied and chipped away by vandals and hooligans like myself. It was fitting to my mood.… Read more

Hazel Park police officer suspected of driving drunk, crashing in Lapeer
Police say Matthew Viviano called in sick Wednesday before driving drunk, crashing pickup truck in Lapeer
LAPEER, Mich. – Sources say Hazel Park police officer Matthew Viviano called in sick on Wednesday. However, the cop was playing hookie.
Detectives say Viviano hit the booze, got drunk and then got behind the wheel. He later crashed in Lapeer.
"I heard a, 'boom, boom!' So I right away got up and looked out the window and all I see is a car upside down," said Galen Krawczak, who lives near the crash scene.
Police say Viviano was driving drunk when his pickup truck drove off the road, flipped and landed in a ditch on Baldwin Street in Lapeer.
"I called 911 right away," said Krawczak.
The officer walked away from the crash without a scratch. However, he has been stripped of his badge for now. Hazel Park Police Chief Martin Barner suspended Viviano without pay.
"Obviously, as police officer you're expected ... you're held to a higher standard than the general public, and it's very disappointing," said Barner. "At the conclusion of the investigation it will be determined what his punishment will be."
Local 4 is told Viviano did submit to a breathalyzer test at the scene of the crash.
"I know they're humans too, but you know, when they got drinking problems they need to take care of it before somebody gets killed or something," said Krawczak.
Viviano is a 17-year veteran with a clean record.

It's not every day that a fashion show leaves you hungry for more, particularly when it comes to organic ingredients of the most delectable kind. This how I felt after the exquisite Eko-Laborative exhibition during NY Fashion Week. The designs were so rich and provocative, I was convinced that I had chanced upon a whole new cornucopia of eco-chic style. Staged as a fashion-forward collaboration between Ekovaruhuset's 'House of Organic' and the new design collective, Eko-Lab, Eko-Laborative was a fine example of slow design effectively putting the brakes on fashion week madness. As a curated demonstration of sustainable style that blends organic and fair-made with true textile artistry, the designers behind this timely exhibit really had something wholesome cooking in their lab of eco-friendly fashion.

Eko-Laborative's NY Fashion Week exhibition at The Gabarron Foundation's Carriage House featured some of the most innovative examples of eco-luxurious style that we have seen to date. The mannequin-clad models allowed visitors to take their time to inspect the earth-friendly details and theatrical spins on eco-chic glam.
The range of materials and processes used by designers included hand-crocheted organic hemp, organic cotton hand dyed with 'Earthues' tints, linen jersey dyed with 'Ledum palustre' aka 'Labrador tea', organic 'predator friendly' wool, hand-felted with rainwater and vegetable soap. Eko-Laborative illustrated the best of fairy tale interpretations coupled with real concerns about environmentally responsible fabrication and sustainable methods.

Meiling Chen's 'Homage to Rapunzel' dress, draped out of organic cotton and dyed with 'Earthues' dye, allowed viewers to become enraptured in the magic of handspun and braided hemp fiber. Melissa Kirgan's 'Deep Waters' halter gown was equally mesmerizing in its organic gauze layering also dyed with Earthues and 'cochineal' combined with accessories and detailing of black hemp crochet, vintage buttons, recycled glass, and organic alpaca.
Ekovaruhuset's founder Johanna Hofring created an organic linen, form-fitted dress embellished with pearl-like seeds from Kenya, while the Gibson gown was cleverly updated via Amy Mohlenhof's organic hemp couture interpretation of a timeless classic dipped in natural dyes. Geometric play and hand-painted illustration also added a new dimension to sustainability and story telling, particularly in Tod Soderin's 'Stripes and Squares' and Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard's 'High Wire Artist'.

One of my absolute favorites from the exhibition was Kaori's Yamazaki's 'Tipi Dress' fashioned out of organic hand dyed linen and perfectly draped as an eco-chic shelter for body and soul. All of the show's haute couture experiments addressed both wearability and sustainability in an impressive display of the power of shared goodness and a belief that the right ingredients are perhaps the best way to craft real luxury and personal style.
Participating Eko-Laborative designers included:
Amy Mohlenhoff, Kaori Yamazaki, Meiling Chen, Melissa Kirgan, Mika Machida Wyche, Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard, Johanna Hofring, Tor Soderin, Righteous, Desiree Hamman, Ashley Helvey, and Lara Miller.

With a sprinkling of holy water, a priest blessed thousands of palm seedlings in a ceremony in Bogota's main park, sealing an unusual Palm Sunday pact between the Roman Catholic Church and environmentalists to save a critically endangered parrot.
BOGATA, Colombia With a sprinkling of holy water, a priest blessed thousands of palm seedlings in a ceremony in Bogota's main park, sealing an unusual Palm Sunday pact between the Roman Catholic Church and environmentalists to save a critically endangered parrot.
Thousands of kilometers (miles) away, 22 churches in the United States are for the first time using environmentally sustainable palm from Guatemala and Mexico for their Palm Sunday services this year.
This convergence of religion and ecology is taking root across scattered areas of the globe amid heightened environmental awareness among some church leaders. More than 300 million palm fronds are harvested each year for U.S. consumption alone -- most of them for Palm Sunday.
"Most Christians wake up on a Palm Sunday, look at the beautiful greenery but don't think about where it's being grown and whether forests and people are being affected," said Glenn Berg-Moberg, pastor of an 800-member Lutheran church in St. Paul, Minnesota. "The largest single demand of palm fronds is for Palm Sunday, so we feel we need to be responsible in how we are treating the forest."
The effort in America, promoted by the Montreal-based Commission for Environmental Cooperation and the Rainforest Alliance in New York, is aimed at protecting the rainforests in Guatemala and Mexico whose canopy provides the shade for the shrublike chamaedorea palms to grow.
The plan is to buy certified palms from communities using sustainable forestry practices and improve the communities' profit margins, giving them more incentive to protect the rainforest instead of clear-cutting it.
"Someone quipped that this is a palm pilot, but we're really excited about it," Berg-Moberg said.
The Colombian initiative has a special urgency, because the survival of a species is at stake.
There are only 540 or so yellow-eared parrots left on the planet. They exist only in Colombia. Their sole habitat is the wax palm, which grows on the misty flanks of the Andes Mountains to heights of 225 feet (70 meters), making it the world's tallest palm tree.
But for centuries, Colombians have used the fronds of the wax palm for Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, where residents greeted him by waving palm fronds.
When Colombian peasants cut off the fronds from the young wax palms -- Colombia's national tree -- to sell to worshippers, the trees die or their growth is stunted. The practice has led to a dramatic thinning of the towering palms.
A top Colombian cleric said it's important for the church to join with environmental groups and government agencies to promote use of other palms and save the bright green-and-yellow parrots.
"We have a slogan: God pardons always, man pardons sometimes, but nature never does. Every abuse of nature you pay for, sooner or later," said Monsignor Fabian Marulanda, secretary-general of the church's policy-making Episcopal Conference.
On a sunny, crisp morning in Bogota's sprawling Simon Bolivar Park, the Rev. Alirio Lopez stood before hundreds of people holding 15-centimeter (6-inch) seedlings of the Alexandra palm -- an alternative to the wax palm -- in paper cups. Schoolchildren, joggers, cyclists and others streamed into a rotunda in the park to participate.
"Dear Lord, who created the Earth, the waters, the plants and the animals, bless these Alexandra palms," said the white-robed Lopez before he flicked holy water onto some of the seedlings in Friday's ceremony.
Thousands of the seedlings are being handed out, to be planted for future Palm Sunday observances. Bigger fronds of the alternative palms will be available for Palm Sunday services this year.
Marulanda said the church refrained from joining the campaign earlier because some groups were proposing that worshippers display handkerchiefs, corn stalks and an assortment of other items instead of palm fronds.
"There would have been a burlesque aspect to it all," Marulanda said. But the church came on board after the use of fronds from other palms was suggested.
"Maintain the Tradition. Respect Nature," proclaim posters that have been sent to churches nationwide to promote the program.
One of the campaign organizers, Luz Mery Cortes of Conservation International, said she does not think all Colombians will immediately abandon use of wax palm fronds, even though they are legally protected.
"We cannot expect that such a strongly held tradition will change overnight," Cortes said. "But if we don't do something, the wax palm and the yellow-eared parrot will disappear from the planet."

The death toll from a bombing at a market in Pakistan's southwest has risen to 25, Pakistani Police said on Saturday. Many of the 70 people wounded in the blast were still in critical condition.
Senior police officer Wazir Khan Nasir said the bomb went off in a Shiite Muslim-dominated residential suburb of the city of Quetta. Residents rushed the victims to three different hospitals.
Nasir said the bomb was detonated by remote control. Another officer, Samiullah Khan, said police were investigating whether the bomb was planted in a rickshaw parked in the crowded vegetable market. He said the bomb was detonated while dozens of women and children were shopping for the evening meal.
Members of the minority Shiite sect took to the city streets in angry protest, blocking roads with burning tires and throwing stones at passing vehicles. In response, police cordoned off the area.
Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan province, where the Shiite minority has been attacked several times in recent months. Baluch nationalist groups are fighting an insurgency there to try to gain a greater share of income from the province's gas and mineral resources. Islamic militants and the banned sectarian group Lashker-e-Jhangvi are also active in the province.

Make the biscuit dough: Cook the hog jowl or bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels until cool.
Sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together into a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, "cut in" the lard until it's in little flour-coated pieces the size of a grain of rice. Take care that you do not cut the lard or shortening too finely - it's easier than you might think. When the dough is rolled out, it's these tiny globules of fat that will make your biscuits light and flaky.
Add the sliced ramps and crisped jowl and gently stir in just enough buttermilk to make the dry ingredients adhere into a soft ball of dough. Do not mix any more than absolutely necessary. It's OK if the dough is not completely homogeneous at this point - the kneading with take care of any lumps or unincorporated ingredients.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Dust your hands with flour and gently fold the dough on itself just until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Add a little flour to the kneading surface as you go if the dough is too sticky. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Using a rolling pin well-dusted with flour, roll out the dough until about 3/4 inch thick. Cut the biscuits with a sharp biscuit cutter or 3 inch diameter tin can with both ends cut out. Do not use a glass or jar to cut the biscuits. It's important to make sharp, clean cut if you want your biscuits to raise high and flaky and a glass will pinch the edges of the biscuits together.
When you have cut all the biscuits you can from the sheet of dough, gently knead the leftover portion back together into a mass. Again, roll the dough 3/4 inch thick and cut the remaining biscuits.
Lightly grease a baking sheet and arrange the cut biscuits spaced evenly on it, about 2 inches apart.
Make the Ramp Butter: Lightly cook the reserved 1 Tbsp of ramps in a little of the fat from the hog jowls until slightly softened and translucent. Set aside to cool slightly. Put the softened butter into a small bowl and mix in the ramps and paprika, stirring vigorously until the butter is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated. Use a small food processor if you prefer.
Bake the biscuits: Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Brush the tops of the raw biscuits with a little of the ramp infused butter.
Place the biscuits into the pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve immediately with more of the ramp butter.
Makes 12 - 16 biscuits.

ATLANTA � Whenever you lose the way the Carolina Panthers did to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon, there�s blame to go around.
But following the Falcons� 30-28 victory following a 77-yard drive highlighted by a 60-yard pass from Matt Ryan to Roddy White, there was much discussion of the Panthers� decision to even give Atlanta the opportunity to have the football.
It�s because Carolina was a fumble � and inches away � from Ryan never getting the chance to lead Atlanta�s final scoring drive.
Leading 28-27 with 1:51 to play and facing third-and-two at the Atlanta 46, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton appeared to have the first down on an option keeper before John Abraham�s hit forced a fumble that pushed the football backwards.
After a mad scramble in which both teams motioned they had the football, game officials ruled Carolina�s Mike Tolbert had recovered near the 44. The measurement left the Panthers inches from a first down. But after the play was reviewed by replay officials, the ball was moved back even more, making for a fourth-and-one play from the 45 � and leaving the Carolina coach Ron Rivera with a huge decision.
Rivera chose to send Newton back onto the field, but rather than running a play, Rivera vainly tried to draw the Falcons offsides before the 25-second play expired for a delay of game penalty.
After the penalty, Carolina punter Brad Nortman�s 49-yard boot was downed by Kealoha Pilares at the 1.
�If you don�t get it right there, they only have to go 30 yards to try a field goal and that�s why we decided to punt,� Rivera said of his decision. �We got the ball where we wanted on the 1 yard line. (We) couldn�t have asked for a better punt, couldn�t have asked for better coverage and we put the ball where we needed it and we gave ourselves an opportunity.�
Newton took the blame for the decision ever having to be made.
�It shouldn�t have even got to that point,� said Newton, who sat nearly motionless in a chair at his locker for 30 minutes after the contest while teammates came by to offer support. �In this league, you have to protect the football. That was a key focus going into this game. I fumbled. It�s a lot of guys that�s trusting the ballcarrier, whoever it is in any case. And I was the ballcarrier that particular play to get the job done. I failed. I dropped the ball.
�I want to apologize to my teammates, and the fans that were watching out there because it�s a lot that goes into each and every play. I clearly had the first down, but I have got to hold onto the football.�
Happy homecoming
The defeat ruined what had been a solid homecoming for Georgia natives Newton (College Park) and Charles Johnson (Hawkinsville, University of Georgia).
Newton had 215 yards passing and two touchdowns and rushed for a team-high (and career-high) 86 yards and another touchdown. Johnson had eight tackles and 3 1-2 sacks.
Edwards sighting
After spending his first two seasons and the first three games of this year as almost strictly a return man, former Appalachian State star Armanti Edwards hade a brief but effective outing.
Edwards caught his first career pass � a 12-yarder for a first down on a third-quarter touchdown drive. And he stayed in the game as quarterback for the next play and threw an incomplete pass to Steve Smith.
The Panthers went into the week worried about the psyche of rookie kick return specialist Joe Adams after he fumbled a punt and kickoff in the 36-7 home loss to the New York Giants on Sept. 20.
Apparently, they�re still worried as they placed Adams on the inactive list and installed Pilares as kickoff returner and Captain Munnerlyn as punt returner.
Other inactives were quarterback Jimmy Clausen, safety D.J. Campbell, tackle Bruce Campbell, guard Mike Pollak, defensive end Antwan Applewhite and defensive tackle Frank Kearse .
It took only 46 seconds for a pair of streaks to end in Sunday�s game.
When the Panthers forced a three-and-out from the Falcons on the game�s opening possession, it marked the first time this season Atlanta hadn�t scored on its initial drive � and the first time Carolina had stopped its opponent on the opening series.
When Smith caught a 27-yard first-down pass from Newton during a second-quarter scoring drive, it extended Smith�s streak of catching at least one pass to 79 games.
That streak began with the 2006 finale.

Charlotte County Sheriff's Office
Amanda Jean Linscott was arrested September 11, 2012 on an armed robbery charge.
A Florida woman who allegedly pulled a gun on a man during sex and demanded money, causing him to lose control of his moving car, was arrested Tuesday, police said.
The woman, Amanda Jean Linscott, 26, fled the scene on foot after the vehicle struck a palm tree, went airborne and plowed through two front yards, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office in Port Charlotte, Fla.
After a weeklong investigation, Linscott was arrested Tuesday on an armed robbery charge.
The incident, which happened during the early morning hours of September 3, was the result of a chain of events that started at the Paddy Wagon Irish Pub in Port Charlotte, according to a police report.

Linscott, accompanied by a friend, met with the unnamed victim and two of his friends at the bar. After it closed, the men invited the women to come to a private residence, where the man and another woman went into a bedroom to have sex, police said.
"The girl said she needed $250, which [the victim] said he didn't have. She asked how much he had and he gave her $120," the police report said.
Then, the man went to the bathroom and both women left the house.
Police said the man called the woman to whom he gave the money and arranged to meet her at a local convenience store. When he arrived at the location, he instead found Linscott, who said her friend had left her.
Linscott then got into the man's car and began having sex with him while he was driving his Nissan Sentra.
Linscott allegedly demanded money from the man, who told her he had already given $120 to her friend. At that point, she pulled out a .357 revolver and held it to the man's head, police said.

The man grabbed the weapon and punched Linscott in the face, he told police, causing him to lose control of his car. The vehicle struck a palm tree and went through two yards before coming to a stop.
At that point, Linscott fled the scene.
The man drove his car to his friends' house, where he gave them the gun and called police.
When police responded to the scene, they found an elderly man in a driveway who told them his daughter, Amanda Linscott, was in a car accident and had been punched in the face, police said.
Police questioned all parties involved and later arrested Linscott. She is currently being held at the Charlotte County Jail without bond.
