I'm a week old newbie to this site and am so grateful for the wonderfully supportive atmosphere that I see here.
I have been struggling with being able to call myself a true Christian because I thought my path didn't look like the the mainstream versions of Christianity.
I was raised Roman Catholic complete with 12 years of Catholic education. I came to know God through Christ in an experience that was dutiful and the importance of being morally right and good were stressed. The Bible would confuse me because it was sometimes taught as literal fact and other times presented simply as metaphor. I cant say i was traumatized by it. i have fond memories of attending folk guitar masses, taking part in community projects, and celebrating holidays with my family, etc. I have always felt a certainty and love of God and the teachings of Jesus, and have never denounced or discounted my beliefs. I just became disenchanted with being told there is a right or wrong way to worship or understand God. It felt incongruent with my understanding of what Christ taught....unconditional love, understanding, compassion, tolerance.
I stopped attending mass during college but never gave up God or trying to live with Christ like qualities. I left the brick and mortar, but I never felt I left my faith. As I continued on in life i came in contact with more diversity and enjoyed experiencing and learning about other cultures and faiths.
I went through a divorce in my early thirties and struggled with being on my own for the first time in my life. I still had a good support system of loving and caring friends and family, but I still felt lost in many ways and my self confidence was very fragile. During this time i received a lot of unsolicited advice from everyone about God and how to have or not have a relationship with him. All of this shut me down even more. I made some futile attempts to find an organized church, but it felt like I was just going back to a dutiful practice just in a different house.
I was hanging on to my last shred of my relationship with God, when I found my way to a Universal Sufi group, a non-denominational spiritual perspective that recognizes one true God and respects the authentic truth found in all faiths and paths to God. It is not a religion, but a mystical path. For me it was a way to go within and begin to feel again. I found a place that did not require me to convert or reject my past and also allowed me to further experience and learn about other truths. I felt so free with God and faith for the first time. I was not required to sit in a pew every week. I did not have to read tons of scholarly literature or accept any new dogmas or Gods or Goddesses or statues. Instead, i started meditating with a small local group of Sufis and my experience and relationship with God grew in leaps and bounds.
The meditation practices incorporate aspects, chants and prayers from all faiths. At first I felt I was being sacreligeous on some level by doing this. But I couldn't deny that I was feeling authentic experiences and continued on my way. All of Christs teachings were still in me and I was seeing and feeling them grow bigger in me because I was recognizing and experiencing Christian truths in other faiths and traditions. And vice versa.
Because I recognize and even value some of the traditions and prayers of other faiths, I thought I was not entitled or allowed to outwardly call myself a legitimate Christian. Guess some of my old black or white Catholic dogma residue is still in me. However if someone asked if I were Hindu or Buddhist or Jewish or Muslim or Wiccan, etc I could easily say no. But I don't feel I could say no when asked if I were Christian. Instead I say something like "well I'm a recovering Catholic, but I am grateful for the teachings and consider christianity to be my foundation."
I guess you can say i have been a solo, silent christian much of my adult life. I haven't been part of a Christian fellowship or congregation in more than 25 years and I've been considering what it would be like to be part of something like that again. The fears and hesitation I have are not that I am questioning my faith in God or Jesus, but more about the human judgment and not being accepted as a full or true Christian because of my Sufi path, which I do not want to denounce or give up.
As I write this I am realizing I am in a similar place as I was when I found the Sufi perspective. I didn't want to turn my back on or denounce my Christianity. And now I feel the similar struggle about not wanting to turn my back on my Sufi experience.
Most of the Christians I know I would consider open minded and progressive. But until a week ago, I didnt realize there was an organized progressive Christianity movement. I just thought I was lucky to stumble upon and know a few "cool" Christians.
So I am now on path to integrate my experiences and perhaps find my place within a Christian fellowship again.
I am so grateful for this safe, supportive and welcoming forum. It feels authentic to me. sharing here feels like an important part of how I can learn to continue to deepen my relationship with God and how to integrate my life experiences to have a more whole inner and outer spiritual life.
I am very pleased that this forum can give you the support you deserve. The label 'Christian' does have its connotations, both good and bad, but it is only a label and not a rigid definition (much to the dispair of many fundamentalists).
I think how people view God is most likey shaped by their experiences, knowledge, culture and upbringing. So for me it is no suprise that there are many varied ways that people look toward God/s. To me the important thing is what people do with their beliefs. Certainly if they cause no harm, then I have no issue. But even better, if their beliefs affect good in the world, then cudos to them.
I myself have found so much information and dialogue here that has helped me better understand myself and my fundamental, literalist, Christian upbringing which went by the wayside when I entered the workforce (policing, at the time) and re-evaluated what I had held as unquestionable beliefs.
I hope this forum serves you well.
Divinejoy, you are being guided if you join a group or not. God guided you away from the Catholic to learn and grow. You don't have to go back to the church, but if you do remember you are a spiritual leader. Just remember some might not like or recognize that those were legitimate spiritual experiences so just give your Divine joy to those that can handle it. Some must be given small amounts. Your presence even in silence is raising their consciousness so continue and enjoy the Divine presence. Even divorce can be a spiritual lesson and evolution. I will listen and learn if you share your insights with us.
Thank you Paul and Soma for reading and responding. I appreciate your supportive words. Paul you thoughts and sharing about labels are in alignment with my thinking and feelings. And Soma, what you described succinctly sums up my feelings as well and expresses how I have been living and sharing God and my Christian experience.
Part of what is inspiring me to explore how to be part of an outward Christian fellowship again is a wonderful relationship I have been in for the past four months. We talked about our spiritual paths early in our relationship and from my perspective i felt we have plenty of common ground to share faith and God. We decided that we would know this was an aspect of our relationship that we would continue to discuss and explore. We recently started having more dialogue about our spiritual perspectives because feelings are definitely deepening between and spiritual compatability and understanding is important to both of us.
I've been comfortably flying solo with my inner spiritual world for the past decade or so and have just been living my beliefs and faith without needing a labeling or defining myself unless someone asked. But their curiosity usually only went a layer or two below my surface and I had my explanations ready like the one I mentioned in my post. I knew it was bigger than that to me, but usually struggled with how to succinctly and accurately define it. So I just experienced it and lived it, as Soma wrote in his post.
But now that I'm in this relationship I feel it is important to be able to accurately and fully explain who and what I am so we can see if we can continue a shared path together. He is in no way asking me to not be who or what I am, he just wants to understand me better. He considers himself a PC and Christian worship and bible study is something he wants to be able to share with a partner in an authentic way.
In the past year or so I had occasionally contemplated being part of some sort of Church experience again. My Sufi group is wonderfully supportive for me when it comes to my inner growth, but I noticed myself admiring people who were part of a faith based community that worshiped together....be it Jewish, Christian, Muslim, etc. But my judgments of conservative, fundamentalist, evangelical Christianity kept me from exploring in earnest.
So that's were I find myself today. Trying to balance sharing deeply with someone I care for very much while being true to my understanding and relationship with God and Christianity to explore if and how we might be able to journey further as a couple.
I am happy for you it seems everything is unfolding for you as intended. When I was dating my wife in Korea she was such a fundamental Christian she would not enter the Buddhist temple court yard. We would hike up in the mountains and the temples up there are so beautiful and abig part of the Korean culture. We have been married around 35 years, have grown together. I am a Christian, but I meditate and do yoga twice a day. She understands that these spiritual practices make me a better Christian.
Soma, thank you for sharing about your marriage and about your personal practices with meditation and yoga. I think my "alternative" practices is definitely an area my boyfriend is trying to understand better. His sense of devotion and relationshio to God through Christ seems to be a more direct and focused way. Whereas my way seems to be a little more loose around the edges, so to speak. Having this forum to dialogue about all of this is helping me see and understand that.
Perhaps a good way for me to express to him how I feel about my relationship with Christ is using my relationship with my mother as an analogy. I love my mom dearly and she is to me my one true mother. She raised me, guided me, cared for me and I love her dearly. She loves me unconditionally and trusts me and I have compete love and gratitude in my heart for everything she has done and continues to do for me. She did the absolute best to prepare me for the world and and encouraged me to live and have life experiences. Sometimes I would stumble, and she was always there to pick me up. Even when I stubbornly went against her better insights at times and made my own mistakes, she was always there to pick me up and help me learn from my errors without judgment.
As I travelled through life I have developed many friendships with other wonderful mothers. A few of them have a strong presence in my life and have been and still are important guides and confidants in my life. While I recognize, experience and benefit from the true loving maternal qualities and guidance that they share with me, I would never choose to replace my own mother with any of them. My mother is aware if these other relationships in my life and even personally knows some of the other "mothers" in my life. She is not jealous or threatened by these relationships at all. instead she is grateful and has peace of mind knowing that i have so many wonderful, loving caring friends who can also help me and suport me on my journey.
My relationship with Christ is this way. He is my first true teacher and path to God, and i can not replace that. I can experience truth and learn from other paths and traditions, but my relationship with Jesus and his teachings can not be replaced or downgraded.
I have never told my wife my feeling on religion because I don't think she would understand. I love her and have witnessed her growth as a person and a Christian and she has done the same. Words sometimes get in the way of love. I wrote a book and have not even asked her or my sons to read it. Her partents disowned her when she married me. My partents disowned me in High School because of the social change in the 60's. We have that in common, but I would never be able to understand her parents or her situation as she could not understand mine. These experiences only made our love stronger, strong enough to continue the relationships with out parents even though they were once broken.
Soma, thank you for your open sharing. It is really helpful for me to hear and reminds me to trust that when there is real love between two people, a path for them to be together will be open and God will guide them if it is for the higher good of both people.
My boyfriend and I have been forced into a physical separation right now because of life circumstances. His life sudenly turned upside down this past month and he had to move to another state last week to care for his mother who is having health problems. We are not sure for how long. He is dealing with a lot of unknown variables that are spiralliing out of control and it is very stressful for him. Our relationship is only four months old and we both would like it to continue, but because of all that he has to focus on right now, we have decided to dial back the romantic level right now. We are still in contact and and communicating, but for the unforeseen future our communication will probably be sporadic as he gets through the transitional chaos of moving and figures out and settles into his new role as care manager and care giver.
I do not want our relationship to be a source of any more stress in his life. Right now I feel the most loving, compassionate thing I can do for him right now is to understand that he still does care deeply about me, but accept that our relationship can not be a priority for him now. Instead i told him i will continue to love and support for him in whatever I can. I know it will be challenging for both of us, but the truth I know about myself, him and our relationship feels stronger to me than my fears and insecurities.
Right now it scares me that I don't know when I will see him again. But, Soma, your sharing is reminding me that if we are indeed intended to be partnered for the long haul, then God will guide us and a path will present itself.
Once again, i sm so grateful to have this online community to safely share. Regardless of what happens, my relationship with him has brought me nothing but happiness. Even as we begin what might seem on the surface like a difficult chapter, our relationship is still helping me learn and grow and deepen my relationship with myself, God and my Christianity.
Divinejoy it is nice to see you go with the music and not skip a beat. The people in our lives, we love them for who they are and not what they are going to be. We love and and don't have to change a thing. I like that you let others change and don't feel forced to change them. A science principle is when a vacuum is formed it is filled. God's pure consciousness seems to fill every hole like water constantly changing taking the form of the vessel.

I am duplicating some of my methods so that I can have one view for portrait and another view for landscape mode. Mostly it has worked for example:

return imagescrollview;}
//--*duplicate
-(ImageScrollView2*)imagescrollview2{

return imagescrollview2;}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*
- (ImageScrollView *)dequeueRecycledPage{
ImageScrollView *page = [recycledPages anyObject];
if (page) {
    [[page retain] autorelease];
    [recycledPages removeObject:page];}
return page;}
//--*duplicate
- (ImageScrollView2 *)dequeueRecycledPage2{
ImageScrollView2 *page = [recycledPages anyObject];
if (page) {
    [[page retain] autorelease];
    [recycledPages removeObject:page];}
return page;}

The code above (my duplicated method(s)) works! But the code below causes the app to crash...

NSLog(@"p4"); the app looks like it crashes here!! I am not sure what has happened to cause this, please advise me.
Thank you.

A: First... wot?  Why are you creating two subclasses, one w/index and the other with index2?  That is tremendously confusing and would, at first glance, seem to be completely unnecessary given standard OO design patterns.
It also looks to be the root cause of your problem.  Namely, you are passing an instance of ImageScrollView where you mean to be passing an instance of ImageScrollView.
The first thing I'd do is get rid of all the 2 nonsense on the method names.  There is no reason for ImageScrollView2 to have an index2. Heck, you could even:
@interface AbstractImageScrollView : UIScrollView <UIScrollViewDelegate> {
UIView        *imageView;
NSUInteger     index;
}
@property (assign) NSUInteger index;
- (void)displayTiledImageNamed:(CGPDFPageRef)page size:(CGSize)imageSize;
@end

And then:
@interface ImageScrollView1 : AbstractImageScrollView
...
@end

@interface ImageScrollView2 : AbstractImageScrollView
...
@end

Implement the common behavior in the abstract superclass and the unique behaviors in the two subclasses, including overriding -displayTileImageNamed:size:, if necessary.

A: bbum, I did what you said, I like the idea it is very neat & tidy but...

Q: Column added to .net DataTable does not get added to database Table I'm new to this site and I started some time ago to program an application.
Right now I'm stuck at a problem and I have no idea how to solve it.
My problem is: I want to register every user in a new column, because I have to save a great amount of data for each of them (up to 1000 rows). Now I add a new column to the already existing table. But the thing is, if I want to retrieve this data I get an error that says there is no column called like this.
programDataSet.User.Columns.Add(textBoxUser.Text, typeof(Int32));

for (int i = 0; i < 4 && i < alchemieDataSet.User.Count; i++)
{
     programDataSet.User[i][textBoxUser.Text] = "1";
}

for (int i = 0; i < programDataSet.User.Count; i++)
{
     alchemieDataSet.User[i][textBoxUser.Text] = "0";
}

this.Validate();
this.userBindingSource.EndEdit();
this.tableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(this.programDataSet);
MessageBox.Show("Registration completed");

Does anyone have an idea what I made wrong?

A: I agree with everyone that there are big red flags with data architecture.
But to your specific question, DataSets and Adapters do not change table columns in a target database.  They only change rows.
You have to update the columns separately.


Isn't it time to bring integrated healthcare in?

It started out as SHOP, Senior Healthcare Outreach Program in 2001, 2002. And that was a return to house call services for inner city seniors and homebound patients.
As our community has evolved, so did our program and SHOP evolved into CHOP which stands for Community Healthcare Outreach Program. The focus being, not only the disparity in seniors, but even a greater disparity in healthcare outcomes and those with behavioral health problems. So what CHOP can do for a behavioral health care centers is provide primary care and preventative services on the ground, in your facility, five days a week.
Thus turning from a reactive to a proactive delivery system. Saving resources, saving lives and improving outcomes. CHOP is an excellent program because my tenants, who are unable to go out to the doctor, due to transportation, sometimes lack of family support, it brings health care right to their door.

Back in 2010, patient self pay contributed just 10.9% to annual patient services revenue, on average. Remember those days? Common practice was to send statements and wait for the phone to ring, and follow-up efforts were few and far between.
Fast forward to 2016. Self pay now contributes up to 20-30% of annual patient services revenue, which is why a more patient-focused strategy is needed to meet this growing category of A/R.
Our industry is making constant changes and improvements to meet rising trends and new regulations as well as evolving consumer behaviors and needs—and patient self pay is no exception. Patients are increasingly responsible for a higher percentage of their own healthcare costs (sometimes the entire cost). Today, over 33 million people are uninsured. The uninsured rate—which has nearly doubled over the past decade—along with high deductible health plans, accountable care, and so many other factors have contributed to changes in the whole financial landscape of self pay collections.
With so many patients responsible for so much of their own healthcare costs, healthcare provider organizations need a clear strategy for collecting patient balances during and soon after care has been provided. Why? For every 30 days an account remains in accounts receivable, the odds of collecting decrease by 30 percent.
Unfortunately, many provider organizations haven't yet leveraged new technologies and are "stuck" with traditional, outdated strategies, or with systems and workflows that are simply not optimized for patient self pay collection. As a result, they're not able to respond well to the growth of self pay.
Point blank, when you ignore self pay A/R today, you are likely to encounter these pitfalls down the road.
Revenue leakage due to a lack of revenue capture means that you've left money that is rightfully yours on the table. This lost revenue may make meeting operating expenses more difficult and will negatively impact profitability. Further, aged self pay balances inevitably contribute to bad debt. Every healthcare provider has a significant amount of bad debt resulting from unpaid patient balances. While most facilities are beginning to manage accumulated debt better and more efficiently, preventing patient pay balances from ending up as bad debt in the first place is arguably a better strategy.
Neglecting to concentrate on collecting self pay balances actually alienates a growing portion of your patient population. The profile of patients paying out-of-pocket has definitely evolved. While it typically includes the uninsured and underinsured, today it also encompasses any insured patient with a deductible—especially the growing number of patients enrolled in high deductible health plans. Unemployed, self-employed, employed with or without insurance—these types of patients are all making decisions about how they will access and pay for their healthcare, and often that decision is choosing paying out of pocket. For healthcare providers, the rise in self pay makes good and positive communication between client and provider more imperative than ever before.
Patient care doesn't end at the exit door—the patient's financial experience with a provider is as crucial as the care experience in terms of building patient satisfaction and loyalty.
Today's provider organizations need to create experiences that give the patient a reason to return. Part of the equation for success is providing a financial experience for each patient that is easy and friendly. In fact, not taking the time to make a patient feel comfortable in a financial conversation, not adequately explaining the patient's financial responsibility and not showing patients that they are respected and valued will quickly drive a wedge in the provider-patient relationship, ultimately hurting the success of self pay payment. Patients desire answers to their questions, and they want to understand exactly what they're paying for. They want easy payment solutions and, often, a set payment schedule. They desire a payment system that utilizes technology and accepts various types of payment.
When a provider doesn't provide this, the patient may take their business elsewhere, even if the care experience was excellent.
This is especially the case if the patient is paying out-of-pocket. As with any consumer making any high-dollar purchase, who wants to pay for a service they're not completely satisfied with? The patients who find financial options that meet their specific needs and who are treated respectfully throughout the care and billing experience are more likely to return, rate the facility favorably and recommend it to others.

St. Vincent DeJamz: FeelTrip Records tunes
Kirsten Onsgard|March 1, 2015
FeelTrip is part label, DIY space and creative incubator, and is more of a collective than a physical or business entity. The physical venue closed about a year after its first show in a classic case of an overcrowded party getting shut down by police for operating an illegal venue. Afterward, their blog documented its legacy through stories of both all night parties and its ability to provide a welcoming space.
What's left — and what continues — is a label that has consistently put out some of the greatest artists in Chicago, spanning genres from psych rock to solo projects to punk. While diverse, it's consistent in its quality and ability to boost one another's careers.
1. Yawn — "Summer Heat"
Daniel Perzan and Adam Gil of Yawn founded FeelTrip to put out their debut album in 2011, along with David Beltran, who performs under the name Starfoxx. Yawn is a psychedelic rock band following in the warm, experimental and often jam-infused footsteps of Animal Collective and Yeasayer. "Summer Heat," from their latest album, is reminiscent of a "Feels" era Animal Collective.
2. Twin Peaks — "Irene"
While technically not on FeelTrip's label, Twin Peaks have certainly been boosted by working with other artists, and recorded in the space. Beltran told the Chicago Reader in 2013 that they were the "future of rock n' roll."
3. Sister Crystals — "For So Long"
The dream pop duo bring a warm and expansive sound to their self-titled debut, released in 2013.
4. Paul Cherry — "Cherry Time"
Paul Cherry produces greasy, glammy and swinging punk. "On Top" is a simple, sweet and quick record with an off-kilter flair that takes it beyond a simple four chord rock record.
5. Blind Moon — "Gravity"
The solo project of Josh Cohen, Blind Moon produces spacey rock that borders on shoegaze. It's watery and smooth, with steady build-ups creating a rumbling sense of excitement. His debut self-titled was released just earlier this year.
6. Dam Gila — "Look to the Morning"
Dam Gila is the solo project of Yawn's Adam Gil (and an anagram of his name), with a sound that is slightly more traditional psychedelic rock propped up by a surprisingly rich, lo-fi production.

Karl Biscuit was a French electropop artist with avant-garde leanings. He recorded for the Crammed record label and was closely connected with artists such as Tuxedomoon and Aksak Maboul. The following is from the Crammed website: He came from the world of contemporary ballet and became a mysterious cult figure following his three releases which combined electro beats, tongue-in-cheek romantic darkness and strange mambo influences: "Regrets Eternels" (1984), "Fatal Reverie" (1986), and "Secret Love" (1987), which were all re-released on one CD in 2003, as part of the Crammed Global Soundclash re-issue series. Karl Biscuit went back to his first love and formed successful modern dance company Castafiore, which he co-directs to this day, and for which he continues to create intriguing soundtracks, early examples of which are compiled in the "Aktualismus" album, which came out in the Made To Measure series in 1991.

Free Activities in Manhattan
Manhattan is clearly the most expensive, but also the most visited borough of New York City. Here you'll find museums, attractions, view points, art galleries, restaurants, shops, tours, shows, concerts, and everything else a visitor could want to experience. But as you probably already know, most of these activities come with a price tag. And that's why we've put together this list of free things to do in Manhattan, so that you can save some money on your next trip to the Big Apple. So let's get to it, here's the free things to do!
The heart and lungs of New York City, the famous, expansive, and huge Central Park is an iconic destination in the city featuring a variety of smaller attractions and features within itself. From ball fields and jogging paths to botanical gardens, concert spaces, cafes, ponds, playgrounds, and more, the park offers something for everyone. Don't forget to take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the park - one of the quintessential tourist activities in the city.
Washington Square Park
Washington Square Park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan is one of the city's most famous public parks. Visitors here can find the huge Washington Arch which is a large, marble triumphant arch which serves as a landmark and honors the nation's first president. In front of the arch is a nice fountain. The arch also serves as the terminus for 5th Avenue. Also located in the square is a monument to Alexander Lyman Holley, along with some walking paths, benches, and shaded tree areas which make for a nice and relaxing picnic spot.

New York City has plenty more to offer, so see also our other articles: Things to do in Brooklyn with Kids and Free Things to Do in the Bronx.
Times Square is one of the most famous areas in New York City. It's known for its brightly lit billboards which really brighten the city at night. But even if you visit during the day you'll find the area filled with energy, activity, and people. If the crowds get to be too much, there are bleachers set up on one side where you can sit and take a break. Times Square is also recognizable as the location of the iconic ball drop on New Years Eve. It's also an entertainment center for the city.
Times Square is in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue.
This eight block area runs between Broadway and South Street and is where you'll find some of the world's most important exchanges including the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ, and the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Broadway, this is also where you'll find the famous bronze statue of Charging Bull at Bowling Green.
Broad Street, NYC, New York, 10004
Ulysses S. Grant's Tomb
Formally known as the General Grant National Memorial, this is the final resting place of Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885), the 18th President of the United States, and his wife, Julia Dent Grant (1826–1902). Construction was completed in 1897, and the tomb and monument is located in Riverside Park in the Morningside Heights neighborhood.
501 Riverside Drive, NYC, New York, 10024
Flatiron Plaza
Flatiron Plaza is a triangular pedestrian plaza that offers a great view of the famous Flatiron building. It's also right by Madison Square Park. During the warmer months, this plaza comes to life with live music or other forms of entertainment, but it's a nice place to relax and people watch any time of the year.
Bethesda Terrace & Fountain
In the heart of Central Park sits the Bethesda Fountain and the Terrace which overlooks it along with the lake. This scenic spot has appeared in multiple films and TV shows over the decades, and it's a very popular spot with tourists and locals alike.
Central Park, NYC, New York
9/11 Memorial and Museum
This memorial commemorates the tragic loss of life felt on September 11, 2001 when suicide-piloted planes flew into the two towers of the World Trade Center. More than 3,000 people were killed as a result of the attacks on that day. The memorial is designed with a series of cascading waterfalls, recessed pools, and bronze panels that show the names of those killed during the attacks. The museum shows photos, videos, and artifacts from the events. It is recommended you purchase tickets in advance to visit the memorial. You can also visit for free on Mondays between 3:30 and 5:00, but reservations are still required.

Q: Have html in a string - need to show it as a separate html page using code I have a script which takes in html from the user as in full page html either from the user or grabs it via curl or from an email. The thing is that I have the html in a string but on the same page I need to show the htmnl in a separate iframe. I don't want to reput any database, curl or imap code in the page referenced by teh iframe at all - is there a way for me to show html passed into a url somehow? like as in a get variable .. the html can be huge here... sorry if it sounds weird.

A: You can put the grabbed html into a temp file and put the link to that temp file into the src="" of the iframe.
Create them using tempnam(), then create a small script that gets the (preferably obfuscated) filename and simply prints it out if it was really a temp file created by you.
Be careful! if it doesn't check the filename well, you are giving full read access to your server... Put the link to this script in the src of the iframe. You can also create temp files in the public folder of your www server, but I wouldn't want temp/garbage there.

A: (if i am not misunderstanding your question)
You could put the string in a textarea inside a form and submit the form ..
the receiving page would read the posted data and render it on the page..

A: I'm not quite sure what you want to do, put you could always post the string as a POST variable, no limitations on how long they can be.

A: You can encode pieces of HTML with urlencode which is automatically decoded when you retrieve it with $_GET or you can use e.g. base64_encode and base64_decode. The problem is that there are limits to $_GET and $_POST. Both can be set in your configuration settings, but sending large amounts of data via the URL is really not-done because that's not how it should be used.
But if I read your question correctly, you can fetch the HTML at the top of the page, and then load it into an iframe?
if ($_GET['url']) {
  $html = file($_GET['url']);
}
if ($_POST['html']) {
  $html = $_POST['html'];
}
And then include it:
<html>
..
<iframe ..><php echo $html; ?></iframe>
..
</html>


Do you ever wake up, read your email from you laptop, gulp a cup of coffee and grab a pastry on the way to to the office? Lunch is a stop through a fast food drive through, Dinner? Probably late, eaten mindlessly in front of the TV. And you don't remember the last time you had a good night's sleep. Our drive to success can make us so single minded, we simply believe we are too busy to eat properly or get enough sleep. However, when we neglect our health, the results not only slow us down, but can be downright catastrophic! Many a person has been stopped in their tracks by heart disease or a stroke by being too busy to take eat healthy foods, exercise, and get proper sleep. Heed these famous words of Benjamin Franklin to get the right perspective.
Failure to write specific goals.
A lot of us start our days with good intentions, but are soon derailed by life. We rush from crisis to crisis, or sharpen our pencils instead of setting appointments for the next sales. At the end of the day, we feel guilty, but we repeat the pattern the next day. Why is that? Because we lack specific, written goals that we want to accomplish. Deadlines, dollar amounts, weight to be achieved build specific pictures in our minds to help us stay on track. Written goals help us stay focused on essential tasks to create our success.
Eat that frog! Do the worst first.
You know the old adage. You get more of what you focus on. So why do we focus on our failures? Perhaps we are comfortable with them. The truth is we are afraid of our failures, and what we fear holds our attention. The best cure for the fear of failure is to reframe our momentary setbacks as opportunities to learn. Instead of fearing failure, let's heed the words of Henry Ford.
Did I forget anything? I'm sure I did. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Comment below, to receive a copy of the affirmations I learned from my mentor, Eric Lofholm, that helped me become more successful at sales.


Whether you are constructing a house, getting a degree, raising a family, or growing a church, your foundation has to be sure and secure. If you cut corners or fail to plan properly, your foundation could crumble, and all of your efforts might be in vain. Builders use a "plumb line" to be sure everything is straight so that what they are building will stand the test of time. At Gateway, we have a set of Plumb Lines taken from God's Word that are designed to keep us on track and keep everything straight. They help us make sure that we are building something that will last. Our plumb lines are short statements of the things we value most as a church. They capture who we are and where we are headed. They are the threads that weave the fabric of Gateway's identity as a church and our mission as a congregation.

| Temple University Professor Xiaoxing Xi seeks reinstatement of lawsuit against FBI
Temple University Professor Xiaoxing Xi seeks reinstatement of lawsuit against FBI

Temple University professor Xiaoxing Xi — who was accused of sharing private scientific technology with China before charges were dropped in 2015 — is now seeking reinstatement of damage claims against the FBI.
Lawyers representing Xi and his wife asked a Philadelphia appeals court to reinstate his lawsuit against the United States government in a brief filed Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Xi first filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government in 2017, where he accused FBI agents of illegal searches and seizures, as well as racial discrimination, Temple News reported.
Last year, R. Barclay Surrick, a Philadelphia federal judge, dismissed nine of Xi's 10 claims. A final claim against FBI surveillance of Xi and his family is still pending, the Inquirer reported.
"When law enforcement agents abuse the legal process by obtaining indictments and search warrants based on misrepresentations or by fabricating evidence, it undermines the legitimacy of the courts," Xi's legal team wrote in the brief, according to the Inquirer.

Xi, a U.S. citizen from China and an expert in thin-film superconducting technology, was arrested in his home and taken into custody while his wife and daughters were held at gun-point, the Inquirer reported. FBI agents accused Xi of sharing sensitive information about a superconductor device called a "pocket heater" with academic colleagues in China.
Temple subsequently placed Xi on temporary leave from his position as interim chair of the physics department.
The charges against Xi were dropped in September 2015 and the Justice Department dismissed his case. The intercepted emails the FBI used as evidence against Xi actually referred to a different kind of superconductor technology that has been in the public domain for years, according to a brief released by the ACLU.
In the lawsuit, Xi alleged that the FBI falsely obtained evidence against him, misunderstood the science behind the technology involved in the case, and racially profiled him, the Inquirer reported.
"Professor Xi and his family are entitled to judicial relief for the clear violations of their basic constitutional rights. We believe that the courts have a fundamental duty to provide remedies for false prosecutions of innocent persons," civil rights attorney and Penn Law senior fellow David Rudovsky said. Rudovsky practices law with Kairys, Rudovsky, Messing, Feinberg & Lin, LLP — the law firm representing Xi.
The case against Xi occurred three years before an enforcement program which the Justice Department in 2015 called the China Initiative, which seeks to mitigate Chinese espionage and has targeted suspects including researchers at universities and hospitals, according to The Washington Post.
"Professor Xi's case involved egregious and wrongful discrimination, culminating in a baseless prosecution. His case is not an isolated one, and is in fact emblematic of the FBI's targeting of Chinese American scientists across many years. We're disappointed with the court's decision," Ashley Gorski, senior staff attorney with the ACLU's National Security Project, said.


Alchemy. Such a misunderstood science. I hope this article can help set things straight for whomever reads it.
Alchemy is an ancient art, first practiced in the Middle Ages. It was devoted to finding a substance that would transmute, (or turn) common metals in to gold, silver or other precious metals, and also to cause immortality in humans. Alchemy was most likely the first time people dipped their toes into chemistry.
Alchemy began in Ancient Egypt, and was especially prevalent in Alexandria in the Hellenistic period. At the same time, China had been tinkering with the ideas as well. Early writings about alchemy by greek philosiphers are sometimes thought of as the first chemical theories. Empedocles (im-ped-oh-klees) formed the all too famous theory that all things in existence were made of air, fire, earth and water. Later, the emperor Diocletian (die-oh-klee-shun) ordered all of the Egyptian texts on the chemistry of gold and silver to be burned and for all expirements to stop.
Zosimus the Theban disvovered that sulfuric acid is a solvent of metals, and, using this, he removed oxygen from the red oxide of mercury, turning the oxidized mercury pure again, much like if you took rust off a nail, it would be a normal nail again. Alchemy's fundemental concept came from an Aristotelian doctrine saying that all things tend to reach perfection at some point. Since other common metals were "less perfect" than gold and other precious metals, it made sense to these researchers that these metals would eventually turn to gold. Also it was thought that nature must make gold out of common metals deep within the earth, so with any luck, this process could be done in the lab with good result.
Eventually Alchemy reached Arabia, where the first book on Chemistry was written. From there it travelled through Spain, into Europe. Roger Bacon, and Albertus Magnus both believed that transmutation to gold was possible. Most people, including these two famous Alchemists, believed that gold was the perfect metal, and that if the philosipher's stone was created, it would be a substance so much more perfect than gold, that it would make the less perfect metals transmute.
Roger Bacon believed that gold dissolved in Aqua Regia* was the elixer of life. The Italian Scholastic philosopher St. Thomas Aquinas, the Catalan churchman Raymond Lully, and the Benedictine monk Basil Valentine also did much to further the progress of chemistry and alchemy, in discovering the uses of antimony, the making of amalgams, and the isolation of spirits of wine, or ethyl alcohol.
Perhaps the most famous Alchemist was the Swiss Philippus Paracelsus. He believed that the elements of compound bodies were salt, sulfur and mercury, representing earth, air and water. Fire however was imponderable to him. He believed also, that there was one more element, the source of the four ancients. This one element that created everything was called Alkahest, and he stated that if it were found, it would prove to be the universal medicine, an irrisistable solvent, and the philosipher's stone. In other words, it was the ultimate form of perfection.
After this, the alchemists of Europe split into two main groups. Those based on facts and hard research, and those who dabbled in the metaphysical, these entangled alchemy in fraud, necromancy, and imposture. This gives alchemy the current mysterious status.
Perhaps the most fun part of Alchemy is the coded engravings that were made during the time. Many of them are still around, and almost impossible to decifer without an explaination. Using obscure characters including the planets themselves as symbols for who-knows-what. Kings, queens, crows, multi-blossom flowers, and green lions abound.

Audio Productions: U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy- 'Traitors Are Not Gentlemen': March 17, 1954
Source:Audio Productions- U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy: the father of the McCarthyist movement
"Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy (November 14, 1908 -- May 2, 1957) was an American politician who served as a Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. Beginning in 1950, McCarthy became the most visible public face of a period in which Cold War tensions fueled fears of widespread Communist subversion.[1] He was noted for making claims that there were large numbers of Communists and Soviet spies and sympathizers inside the United States federal government and elsewhere. Ultimately, his tactics and inability to substantiate his claims led him to be censured by the United States Senate.
The term McCarthyism, coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's practices, was soon applied to similar anti-communist activities. Today the term is used more generally in reference to demagogic, reckless, and unsubstantiated accusations, as well as public attacks on the character or patriotism of political opponents.[2]
Born and raised on a Wisconsin farm, McCarthy earned a law degree at Marquette University in 1935 and was elected as a circuit judge in 1939, the youngest in state history.[3] At age 33, McCarthy volunteered for the United States Marine Corps and served during World War II. He successfully ran for the United States Senate in 1946, defeating Robert M. La Follette, Jr. After three largely undistinguished years in the Senate, McCarthy rose suddenly to national fame in February 1950 when he asserted in a speech that he had a list of "members of the Communist Party and members of a spy ring" who were employed in the State Department.[4] McCarthy was never able to prove his sensational charge.
In succeeding years after his 1950 speech, McCarthy made additional accusations of Communist infiltration into the State Department, the administration of President Harry S. Truman, the Voice of America, and the United States Army. He also used various charges of communism, communist sympathies, disloyalty, or homosexuality to attack a number of politicians and other individuals inside and outside of government.[5]
Not as widely known as McCarthy's anti-Communist crusade were his various attempts to intimidate, and expel from government positions, persons whom he accused, or threatened to publicly accuse, of homosexuality. Former U.S. Senator Alan K. Simpson has written: "The so-called 'Red Scare' has been the main focus of most historians of that period of time. A lesser-known element...and one that harmed far more people was the witch-hunt McCarthy and others conducted against homosexuals."
Source:Audio Productions: U.S. Senator Jospeh McCarthy- 'Traitors Are Not Gentlemen': March 17, 1954
The piece from Audio Productions put out perfectly lays out what Senator Joe McCarthy stood for in the 1940s and how went from a lowly junior U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, to becoming one of the most powerful members of Congress: not just Senator's, but to becoming one of the most powerful people in Congress from either chamber in about 4 years.
By 1951, Senator McCarthy becomes Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee which is where he starts his so-called investigation of Communists in the U.S. Government, to two years later after Republicans win back Congress with Dwight Eisenhower becoming President where McCarthy becomes Chairman of that committee with subpoena power. Which was actually the start of his downfall because of how he used that power as Chairman and where guilt be association becomes better known as McCarthyism that of course was named as Senator Jospeh McCarthy.
As far as Senator McCarthy's Traitors Are Not Gentlemen speech: you have to understand what the term traitor is: a traitor is someone who "betrays a friend, country, or organization." Its a word that is wildly used today especially by hyper-partisans on the Far-Right in America and how they talk about people who simply disagree with them and don't share their politics, cultural or religious values, even if the person or people that they're labeling and even libeling have no foreign allegiances and love America for what America is which is the guaranteed right for Americans to be Americans not feel the need to have to fit into some religious or cultural box in order to be great Americans.
McCarthyism, wasn't the start of tribalism and what we call nationalism today, but it was a huge moment in time for those movements and Joe McCarthy is someone that Nationalists and the broader Far-Right in America look up today and view as one of their heroes and argue that McCarthy was right in what he did, because in their view Communists and Socialists in general aren't deserving of the same constitutional rights as people they would call the real Americans. Which are people that look at the world and America the way they do with this hardcore fundamentalist religious and cultural philosophy about what America is and what they believe it should be.
What McCarthyites and people who would be called Nationalists today fail to understand or aren't willing to admit is what makes America great is the guaranteed right for Americans to be Americans and that we don't all have to be the same: we don't have to look the same, act the same, talk the same way, believe in the same religion, or even have to be religious at all, and we don't have to think the same way to be great Americans. We just have to acknowledge the respect the rights and freedoms of other Americans as much as our own.

The Catholic DNA of Frank McCourt
Posted by Censor Librorum on Jul 29, 2009 | Categories: Arts & Letters, Celebrities, Dissent, Faith, Humor
Frank McCourt, a former New York City schoolteacher who turned his miserable childhood in Limerick, Ireland, into a phenomenally popular, Pulitzer prize -winning memoir, Angela's Ashes, died on Sunday, July 19, 2009. He was 78 and lived in Manhattan and Roxbury, Conn.
"When I look back on my childhood," McCourt said in Angela's Ashes, "I wonder how I survived it at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: The happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood."
The book's hilarious and irreverent chapter on Mr. McCourt's preparation for First Communion is reminicent of pre-Vatican II lessons on both sides of the pond.
"He tells us we have to know the catechism backwards and forwards," Mr. McCourt writes. "We have to know the Ten Commandments, Divine and Moral, the Seven Sacraments, the Seven Deadly Sins. We have to know by heart all the prayers, the Hail Mary, the Our Father, the Confiteor, the Apostles' Creed, the Act of Contrition, the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary…He tells us we're hopeless, the worst class he's ever had for First Communion, but as sure as God made little apples he'll make Catholics of us, he'll beat the idler out of us and Sanctifying Grace into us."
The day for First Communion finally arrives. He's late to church.
"We ran to the church. My mother panted along behind with Michael in her arms. We arrived at the church just in time to see the last of the boys leaving the altar rail where the priest stood with the chalice and the host, glaring at me. Then he placed on my tongue the wafer, the body and blood of Jesus. At last, at last."
"It' s on my tongue. I draw it back."
"It stuck."
"I had God glued to the roof of my mouth. I could hear the master's voice. Don't let that host touch your teeth for it you bite God in two you'll roast in hell for eternity."
"I tried to get God down with my tongue but the priest hissed at me, Stop that clucking and get back to your seat."
"God was good. He melted and I swallowed Him and now, at last, I was a member of the True Church, an official sinner."
In fact, Frank McCourt ended up to be one of the Church's principal public antagonists. He delighted in delivering bawdy riffs against what he saw as the church's hypocrisy, cruelty and joylessness. "I was so angry for so long, I could hardly have a conversation without getting into an argument," he once said.
Peter Quinn, the novelist and a practicing Catholic, wrote in an email that his friend was neither "contemptuous of believers in general nor Catholics in particular. On a trip we took together in 1998, he went to Mass with me on the Sunday morning that we landed. He respected the fact that I had reached my own peace with the Catholic Church. 'It's a good thing,' he once told me, 'that you're raising your kids in the Catholic faith. At least they'll have a map to follow or throw away. In either case, they'll know where they are.'"
Mr. McCourt felt it was impossible to fully divorce himself from the church. So when he stood before Pope John Paul II in 2002, accompanying a delegation of 40 mayors from around the world, the little Irish Catholic boy in him took over. He knelt, took the pope's hand, and kissed his ring.
"I got up and he's looking at me with his dazzling blue Polish eyes and extraordinary complexion," Mr. McCourt told the Commonwealth Club of California, "I had a feeling he knew. He knew what a fraud and phony I was. Then I walked away. And I have to admit, as turbulent as my relationship with the church has been (although they don't know and they don't care), I was walking on water practically. I was walking on air."
