We pride ourselves in the fact that we are Solutions experts, and because of this, we are generally ahead of trends instead of chasing them.
A: We are just thrilled to win this award for the 6th consecutive year! It means a lot as it is validation from our customers that we are doing it right.
A: Well I am not afraid to say that we are the elite when it comes to our Product Lines and our Customer Service. I absolutely believe we are successful because we have the right people. Every single person in our company is aware of how vital they are to the day to day operation. If it wasn't for their vision to excel at their work, we wouldn't have experienced the growth that we have since 1990.
A: We are constantly adding new product lines (not just adding styles but also in the type of wood material that we want to have in stock). We pride ourselves in the fact that we are Solutions experts, and because of this, we are generally ahead of trends instead of chasing them.
A: We manufacture Custom Built Wood Staircases - our experienced Craftsman build these beautifully designed staircases. We want to grow that part of our business.
A: We are Solutions Experts. As our name indicates we are Moulding & Millwork so if our experienced and knowledgeable staff can't source an item (baseboard, casing, crown, etc ) for a customer, we can most likely manufacture it - which makes us unique indeed!
That is why our customers are Builders, Contractors, Design Professionals and Homeowners.
A: We get our ideas from all our people. Our staff are very dedicated and work extremely well together. We bounce ideas off each other and we have a lot of long term employees that have been with us since 1990. We must be doing something right.
A: Compassion. Creativity. Determination. Fairness. Honesty. Knowledge. Respect. Success. Friendships.
A: As I mentioned earlier we are the elite when it comes to products & service. A lot of our customers we know by their first name and we have established long term friendships over the year. We care about the projects they are working on. We think they are as happy to see us as we are to see them.
Are you or your company involved in your community (charity, fundraising, etc.)... Yes, we contribute to local schools, BC Children's Hospital, various Fire Departments and other charities.
What hobby would you get into if time and money were not an issue?... I love working on old cars....wish I had more time.
What age do you wish you could permanently be? And why?... I like the age I am at now... I like the wisdom, patience, experience and compassion that I have learned through success and failure - I wouldn't want to lose that.
If you could only use ONE word to describe yourself, what would it be?... Thankful.
Where is your dream vacation destination/place?... We love to travel and I've been to many places but we built a cabin (well it's not really a cabin) which is on the edge of a lake and golf course and it's about 1 hr from where we live. It's our getaway and it doesn't take us long to get there which is a bonus!

Q: Updating an array of tag's timestamps Will this method update every tag's updated_at timestamp from Acts_As_Taggable_On's tag_list array?
def update_tag_timestamp
  self.tag_list.each do |tag|
    tag.update_attribute(:updated_at, Time.current)
  end
end

I'm using Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.0.7, and the Acts_As_Taggable_On gem.
post.rb:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create         :update_tag_timestamp, :destroy_old_posts
  acts_as_taggable
  validates :name,     :allow_blank => true,
                       :length => { :maximum => 64 }

  validates :title,    :presence => true,
                   :length => { :maximum => 64 }

  validates :content,  :presence => true,
                       :length => { :maximum => 1024 }

  validates :tag_list, :presence => true,
                       :length => { :maximum => 24 }

  has_many  :comments, :dependent => :destroy
  #belongs_to :tag#, :dependent => :destroy

  attr_accessible :name, :title, :content, :tag_list

  # Finds last three comments for a message.
  def firstcomments
    comments.find(:all, :limit => 3, :order => 'updated_at DESC').reverse
  end

  protected

  # Updates the timestamps of the Parent Post's tag_list array
  def update_tag_timestamp
    self.tag_list.each do |tag|
      tag.update_attribute(:updated_at, Time.current)
    end
  end

  def destroy_old_posts
    self.tag_list.each do |tag|
      posts = Post.tagged_with(tag, :order => 'updated_at DESC')
      posts[100..-1].each {|p| p.destroy } if posts.size >= 100
    end
  end
end

comment.rb: (simplified with touch)
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates :commenter, :allow_blank => true,
                        :length => { :maximum => 64 }
  validates :body,      :presence => true,
                        :length => { :maximum => 1024 }

  after_create          :destroy_old_comments
  belongs_to            :post, :touch => true
  attr_accessible       :commenter, :body

  protected

  # Destroys oldest comment after limit is reached
  def destroy_old_comments
    comments = post.comments(:order => 'updated_at ASC').reverse
    comments[100..-1].each {|c| c.destroy } if comments.size >= 100
  end
end

tag.rb: (this doesn't work, I can create as many tags as I want. The limit is ignored)
class Tag < ActiveRecord::Base
  after_create :destroy_old_tags
  has_many :posts, :dependent => :destroy
  protected
  def destroy_old_tags
    tags = Tag.all(:order => 'updated_at DESC')
    tags[100..-1].each {|t| t.destroy } if tags.size >= 100
  end
end

A: use tag.touch(:updated_at) instead of update_attribute
touch is there for this exact case

The row of site huts bordering the fenced off Factory Farm compound look like any other, until notices referring to 'contamination area' and 'leave all clothing here' reveal that one of them doubles as a decontamination lock controlling all access to the piling area. Both Bachy Soletanche and main contractor Eurolink had to register as licensed tip operators. This resulted in a raft of safety and environmental demands in consultation with both the Health & Safety Executive and the Environment Agency.
The discomfort for the 12 man piling workforce of always having to wear protective clothing and full face masks encouraged Bachy to reduce the shifts from the standard 10 hour to just four.
But for the men themselves, timing can be more personal, as just a visit to the loo demands planning 20 minutes in advance to negotiate the decontamination hut.
All waste from the compound is bagged and leaves in sealed skips. A dozen air monitors around the site perimeter, plus more tagged on to clothes, constantly record contamination levels.
Such precautions seem to have proved their worth. The maximum recorded asbestos readings around the site perimeter of 0.004 fibres/ml of air are less than half the permitted safe limit.

Home » Country Calendar » Germany Calendar 2023 with Holidays – Free Printable [PDF]
Germany Calendar 2023 –Germany is a country that is located in Central Europe. It has a population of over 81 million people and an area of 357,021 square kilometres. The country has a diverse history, with many different cultures and languages being spoken. Germany is known for its economy, which is the second largest in the European Union after France. The country also has a strong military presence, with several military regions being stationed throughout the country.
Sri Lanka Calendar
Brazil Calendar
Tanzania Calendar
Namibia Calendar
Bahamas Calendar
Germany's increasing importance in the world has led to a boom in its calendar industry, with the country printing and publishing an ever-growing number of calendars. The most popular calendars in Germany are the German Christmas calendar, which is used every year, and the agricultural calendar, which is used twice a year.
The Agricultural Calendar is also Europe's most popular calendar because it includes important events such as Folklore Days and Agricultural fairs.
In order to keep up with the growing popularity of Germany's calendars, some companies have developed custom calendars that are specifically designed for the German market. This allows people in Germany to get a customized calendar that they can use on their own home or office computer.
Germany Calendar 2023
The article discusses how Germany's upcoming government calendar will be used in the coming years. This will include new and innovative ideas that could change the way people live and work in the country.
Germany Holidays 2023 is set to celebrate its 2023 centenary this year, and there are plenty of events planned to commemorate the occasion.
If you want to make life in the German office more efficient, here are some ideas:
1. Create a simple schedule: Use the Germany calendar to plan your workdays and weekends. Add days and hours for each day of the week, so you know what you need to do each day. The Germany calendar is easy to read and understand, so you won't have to spend time trying to figure out what's on offer.
2. Create a poster Germany calendar: Make a poster calendar of your favourite German foods and drinks. Post these around your office or home so everyone can enjoy their favourite items at their own leisure!
In the near future, Germans will have a more tailored Germany 2023 Calendar with Holidays to enjoy the benefits of holidays. The government has been planning this for a while and it is finally coming to fruition. In 2023, Christmas will be celebrated as an official holiday in Germany. This move will add another layer of incentive for people to celebrate the holiday responsibly and enjoy all that the country has to offer. Other holidays that are set for 2022 include Easter, New Year's Eve, and Bastille Day.
Printable 2023 Germany Calendar
There are many ways to use the Germany calendar for office plans. You can print out a simple schedule, create a poster Germany calendar, or use it as a planning tool for your next event.
Here are some of the most notable events that Germany has in store for its citizens:
1. The G20 summit
The G20 Summit will be held in Hamburg, Germany on June 8-9th, and it is expected that many key global decisions will be made during this time. The Summit will also serve as a chance for leaders from all communist countries to come together and discuss economic reforms.
2. The Berlin Olympics
The Berlin Olympics will take place on June 6th and 8th, 2020. This event is expected to create a lot of excitement in the German capital city and help increase tourism revenue. It is also likely that world leaders will attend this event in order to discuss economic issues further.
Germany is making these changes in order to ensure that its citizens have a more enjoyable holiday experience as well as to promote responsible behaviour. By celebrating these holidays properly, Germans can help make their country more fun and inviting to visit.

I am having my second morning coffee in the LAOCAS hospitality lounge and a man walks in and announces loudly, "I am officially blown away!" Everyone looks. Ok? So what did you hear? He stands there grinning. "Have you been to the Elac room?"
Resolving to get an early start, I skipped breakfast and hit the show floor at 10:30am on Sunday. Will Kline of Fine Sounds (left) and Sunil Merchant (right) of Covina, CA's Sunny's Components were justifiably proud of the simply beautiful midrange created by the marriage of Wilson Audio Alexia loudspeakers ($52,000/pair) and Audio Research components. This wasn't the most transparent of systems I auditioned, but it was unquestionably among the most musical.
My beat for Stereophile—to attempt to share with you my brief take on equipment and systems that might be described as "Medium Budget"; not too cheap, not too pricey—just right! A daunting task, given the sheer amount of fine gear here that could fit into that budget ballpark. My first stop was late in the afternoon of the Thursday Press Day. I sought out familiar friendly faces in the Positive Feedback Online Hospitality Room. (Here is a photo of Positive Feedback editors David Robinson, right, and Dave Clark, left.) This is fast becoming sort of the audio equivalent of the Grateful Dead's long strange trip.
My very full second day at THE Show Newport continued with some wonderful quality time and listening. Had a good visit with designer/owner Keith Herron (left), of appropriately named Herron Audio. This company is based in St. Louis, and Mr. Herron is particularly interested in the musical aspects of his gear, and stated to me that he felt musicians respond particularly well to it. Being a composer myself, I think he is spot-on.
The ribbon had been cut and the trumpets sounded. THE Show Newport Beach, whose 2015 installment had moved a mile or two up the road into Irvine, was underway. Doing the honors at the ribbon-cutting ceremony were, from left to right, a gold chain-bedecked Steve Rochlin of Enjoy the Music, accompanied by his wife, Heather to his left, and an unidentified woman to his right; Michael Fremer of Stereophile and AnalogPlanet.com; David Robinson of Positive Feedback, Robert Harley of The Absolute Sound.
Six weeks before the start of THE Show Newport Beach, word got out that the show organizers were poised to add a last-minute "Trade and Press Day" for Thursday May 28. As it turned out, the actual announcement came later, less than a month before the show. The idea, if instituted correctly, could have been a good one. But done so last minute, it seemed, at best, half-cocked...Be that as it may, I was able to register with the lovely Lucette Nicoll (above center) and take in just a few rooms before dinnertime.
During THE Show, the Woo Audio/M•A Recordings room became my restful oasis. I am an extreme fan of M•A Recordings and its most worldly proprietor, Todd Garfinkle (right above in Jason's photo). Todd makes perfect-sounding recordings of real in-the-world music. Not audiophile recordings of some faux chanteuse in clown makeup singing songs she doesn't understand for an audience that cares more about sonics than poetic expression. In contrast, Todd Garfinkle picks up gypsies in the Paris Metro and brings them home. He shares his best food and wine with them—and finally, when they are properly "prepared," he turns on his recorder and gets them to chant, shout and play wedding songs—with tubas, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, accordions, drums and fierce stomping boots!

Tomorrow's Electronic Village
REVOLUTION: The world is poised for explosive changes in telecommunications. "It's going to be kaboom," one observer says.
A cloud as big as Montana coasts drowsily over the right-field bleachers as you watch a relief pitcher amble in from the bullpen. It seems like a good time to check in at the office. Balancing a laptop computer on your knees, you dial in on your cellular phone, log onto the computer network and check your E-mail messages. You read the latest news from the Associated Press, check some stock prices, get your phone messages and troll the Internet before you sign off. Just in time. The new pitcher has warmed up and the hitter steps in. Put down the laptop and pick up your score card.
This isn't the future–it happened in Baltimore. And a few years from now, two-handed juggling of a cellular phone hooked to a laptop computer will seem crude.
The world is poised at the brink of a telecommunications revolution, and change will come with the magnitude of the invention of the automobile, the electric light and the printing press. Or, as Pacific Telesis Chairman Phil Quigley says, "It's going to be kaboom." Millions of Americans will carry pocket-sized "personal communicators" that will combine the capabilities of computers and telephones in one mobile gadget. The communicators will become fax machines, calendars, address books and sketch pads with the insertion of function modules the size of a credit card.
A large percentage of people will have a personal telephone number that they can be called at wherever they travel in the world. At home, the wireless personal communicator will automatically connect with the wired communications system that effectively merges the telephone, television and computer into one instrument. Computers will speak and understand English, handling by voice many of the commands that today must be typed. Pocket phones may even include components called "personal digital assistants," tiny computers that make calls, take and deliver messages and do many tasks that secretaries now do. They will perform wherever you are, even in a moving car.
Two-way video phones may be as common as speaker phones, or even cordless handsets, are now. Some people may prefer "wearable technology," telephones as small as tie clips or earrings that are more convenient and less obtrusive than cellular phones. And it won't be only the elite that can take advantage of all this technology–"yuppie toys," as one phone company executive has dubbed them. In nine years, projects a study by the Personal Communications Industry association., more than 52 million Americans will have cellular phones and 31 million will have phones using a new digital wireless technology called personal communications services, or PCS. And 65 million people will have pagers or messaging services. The social implications are enormous.
"We may begin to see spatial organizations of human settlement quite unlike the classical city; threats to freedom of speech and of the press; erosion of the sovereign state, and a fracturing of society's cohesion," said the late Ithiel de Sola Pool, a telecommunications visionary. Others believe the revolution will empower people to take more control of their lives, be less passive and overcome for the first time in human history limits of mobility, sense perception and the difficulties of the human-machine interface. Which way will it go? Will the gulf between rich and poor be widened by a new divide between the knows and the know-nots? Or will it be bridged by more information in the hands of everyone? Will society become even more fragmented as people delve further into their specialized fields and social interaction changes from personal to electronic? Or will the global village become something more meaningful than watching televised images of famine in faraway lands?
Will conventional literacy shrivel, leaving those with traditional deductive skills behind those with a new kind of visual literacy? Or will we see a broader and brighter definition of intelligence? Will the technology be driven by a few monopolies? Or spawn a new era of competition and entrepreneurship? The questions–and these are only a few–are fundamental. Some shifts have already begun. Fifteen years ago, the fastest growing segment of the American economy was in low-level service jobs, such as fast-food workers, a phenomenon that raised concerns about the economy's health. Today information-related jobs are setting the pace. We are spending more time and money communicating and sifting information. In 1984, the average American household spent $1,000 a year on telecommunications. Today, adjusted for inflation, that expenditure has doubled.
If the numbers seem surprising, consider this: Cellular phones were introduced as a luxury in 1983. By 1993, 13 million Americans used them. In a matter of months, moreover, there will be a major breakthrough in wireless phone technology when the federal government opens new frequencies in the wireless spectrum, tripling the amount of airwaves for wireless and ultimately driving the introduction of digital wireless technology. This PCS technology will handle five to 10 times more calls or channels than cellular and cost half as much. Within the last three years alone, as McCaw Cellular Chairman Craig McCaw put it recently, "Change is occurring at a rate faster than even the most extreme techie would have dreamed."
Three forces are driving this revolution.
Advances in microelectronics, the art of putting computing power into small spaces by adding transistors on chips made of sand. There are already more microprocessors (computers on a chip) than there are people on Earth. Now, the power of each chip is doubling every 18 months without increasing the price.
Fiber optics, the science of shooting laser beams as small as grains of sand through glass fibers as thin as strands of hair. A year ago fiber-optic lasers could transmit about 3.4 billion bits of data per second, or 50,000 phone conversations on a pair of fibers. Soon, experts expect to send 1 trillion bits per second, or 70 million conversations. These digital phone lines are what will make the 1,000+ channel TV set or two-way video phones possible.
Digital wireless phone technology, using satellites and new high-band frequencies in the air to move phone data. Wireless phones will be greatly improved at nearly the same cost as wired communications. Until now, computers had intelligence, but it was cumbersome to connect them. Phones had connectivity, but they were basically dumb. Wireless devices offered mobility but weak transmission quality. As the three technologies evolve, the virtues of each are merging. AT&T is already offering what it calls the "virtual office" package, in which workers can trade their commute and work space for a mobile phone, portable computer, printer and modem. More than 500 AT&T salespeople have operated this way, and the company is now selling the gear–weighing 6.5 pounds–to others.
Whether this becomes more than a fad will depend on human behavior. But coming technology will clearly make the limits of spatial geography less important. Cellular phones today offer people local and even national mobility. By 1997 or "98, low-orbit satellite systems will make wireless phone mobility global. Motorola's Iridium project, which will cover even the remotest parts of the world through 66 low-orbit satellites, is scheduled to begin in 1998. Even more ambitious, Teledesic Corp., a joint venture of Bill Gates' Microsoft and McCaw Cellular, plans a system involving 840 satellites by 2001.
The new PCS technology–digital wireless phone frequencies–will further reduce costs and allow people to move inside and outside buildings, says Ben Gavis, a professor of management at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. In perhaps less than 10 years will come the wireless phone of the future, the personal communicator. It will be a computer, a phone, a fax machine and more–pocket-sized. It will carry one's calendar and address book. If two people meet and want to exchange phone numbers, they may be able to simply aim their communicators and "squirt" (no sexual puns intended) the information to each other with an infrared signal, says Philip Evans, director of telecommunications planning at Perot Systems. This pocket phone computer will also involve a "personal digital assistant," which will take voice commands and handle various daily activities. Just tell it what to do: "Call the office and tell them I am running late. Then get my messages and call my next appointment." The wireless phone will probably work in several media, says Quigley, the new chairman of Pacific Telesis Group, the holding company of the Pacific Bell companies. It will look for a cellular link first, then switch to satellite or to PCS networks. And when someone arrives home, calls can be automatically switched to the wired system of the house.
The consequences of all of this are probably beyond the reach of most of us to imagine. Vanderbilt's Gavis predicts, as many others do, that corporations and other institutions will fire many of their managers. With more sophisticated communications, a single manager can supervise many more employees. Corporations will become smaller and less hierarchical. But will the displaced managers become entrepreneurs or unemployable? Thinkers worry about solitude. "It's going to be hard to disappear," says John Fike, director of the Center for telecommunications at Texas A&M University. If people work in virtual offices, communicating by E-mail, what happens to human interaction? That has given rise to the concept of the "virtual water cooler"– using video phones to help people maintain office camaraderie and keep up with gossip.
But there's an obverse view. Most people involved in the industry have a passionate faith that the technology will empower people. On a simple level, George Gilder believes people's relationship to their phones will no longer be so passive. We get up in the middle of dinner and answer and let it invade our lives in all sorts of ways. "As time passes, the people receiving calls will abandon these old practices," says Gilder, an influential technology writer. They may choose to monitor the calls without answering; or know whether it is a business, personal or other kind of call by the ring; or have a video readout that tells them who is calling. Or they may simply push a button that messages that they will call back.
Others ponder the division between knows and know-nots, and some say it is generational and will gradually disappear. Some also wonder about the impact on the way people think. Fike at Texas A&M says his students today have much more information than students a generation earlier. "But when it comes to their reading skills, their ability to read something for content, they have a hard time." Gilder is not so worried. Text, he believes, will always be primary to civilization. The computer, not television, will be the center of this revolution. Learning, not entertainment, will be central.
Do you know what?………….They are all guessing!!

Students sell coffee to go to Ghana
For students having a hard time staying awake in class, there is a new solution.
University of Calgary students, in conjunction with the Development Studies Club, are selling Fair Trade coffee from February to April 2000 as a fundraiser to Ghana.
According to Development Studies Club President Peggy Holroyd, money raised will go towards paying for a field school, where students go to Ghana to study villages.
"A couple of students and I are selling triple-certified coffee," she said. "The field school is from May to June 2000. We thought we would fundraise for the trip and raise awareness about an important topic–fair trade."
Fair Trade coffee creates a direct link with the producer, says Development Studies External Club Commissioner Jeff Weaver.
"It means it eliminates the middle man," he said. "It allows small farmers to make a better living. It sets up a co-op of farmers and guarantees the farmers 20-25 per cent of the final price of the coffee."
The coffee will be sold for $13 per one-pound bag or $25 for two. According to Holroyd, farmers will be paid a guaranteed price of at least $1 per pound through the Fair Trade instead of 38 cents per pound.
"It opens up doors in every respect," said Weaver. "More money means more food on the table. They're guaranteed a good price for the coffee all the time."
Two types of coffee will be sold.
"The coffee we have been selling recently is from Columbia and Peru," said Holroyd. "The Colombian coffee is roasted in Victoria, B.C. The Peruvian coffee comes from a company called Elan-Organics, [which] buys the coffee from the small farmers for a fair price."
Unlike store-bought coffee, this coffee has no additives and is environmentally friendly.
"Both coffees are [completely] organic as many of the farmers can't afford pesticides," said Holroyd. "The coffees are also shade-grown, meaning the farmers don't cut down the rain forest to grow the coffee. Many big plantations in Latin America are cutting down the rainforest to grow genetically engineered crops with pesticides."
Students will sell coffee Mar. 6-8 in MacEwan Hall.

Top Ten Best Breaking Benjamin Songs
1 The Diary of Jane
Absolutely perfect song... the vocals, the guitar chords, the drums absolutely everything is perfect...
this song deserves the first spot in the list,
just an amazing song by breaking benjamin that never gets poor...
i wonder what is the meaning of this song...
well never mind...
this song ROCKS!
The best song of the decade in my opinion, it definitely deserves the first spot, BREAKING BENJAMIN NEVER STOP ROCKING THIS WORLD
First ever BB song I listened to and still gets better and better ever time I hear it
V 211 CommentsUListen to Sample
2 Breath
This song is powerful. The singing is awesome, the music beautiful, the introduction unforgettable (and quite possibly Breaking Benjamin's best) and it gives you the strength to go and do what you want and not worry what others will think. BB forever
The guitar, bass, vocals, lyrics and drum beat blend together so well in this song and the final product is a beautifully produced and edited single. Starts off with a hard intro, into a soft moody verse and then comes a punctual, loud chorus. Bragging sticky, yet meaningful lyrics about a broken relationship, this is one of the best hard rock songs of the decade by a band that deserves far more credibility than it has ever had. Go BB!
This song is one of the best hate-love song EVER, I just love it... Should be number one, no doubt about it! "You left a hole where my heart should be... "
Perfect lyrics, powerful. Unbelievable. Just catchy. My favorite song ever
V 99 CommentsUListen to Sample
3 Give Me a Sign (Forever and Ever)
best lyrics... at almost the end of the song, the melody is very2 nice.. and it is awesome.. its a perfect song. and I love this song so much..
An awesome song with some awesome lyrics. This song has some very beautiful rhymes. I think this song is obviously one of the best song for a song lover.
Such a good words...
this song always makes me cry...
It's a very emotional song I really love it. Not just because of the lyrics and the melody, I can feel Ben's feelings when He was in the situation losing his grandfather. There are many musicians today who sing for money and leave the importance behind. What is important is the inspiration and the message the musicians bring. Breaking Benjamin brings the message into my life. This song brings huge inspiration and emotions into my life every time I hear it. It can actually make me cry even though I never experience someone dying in my life. It is because this song is alive.
4 So Cold
Best song of all time, who could ask for a song that gives off more dark resonance, yet tragic hope. It is a song for humanity.
Its Really The Best rocking song of Breaking Benjamin
really best rock song all the time.
Defiantly my fave
5 I Will Not Bow
This is the BEST.
Definitely my favorite of all the Breaking Benjamin songs. I agree that this should be number one. Breath and Give Me a Sign are good, but not as good as I Will Not Bow.
This song should definitely be number 1! it gives me the feeling like they're going through pain and the lyrics express so much! they make you feel like you're actually experiencing what's going on, great job with this song Breaking Benjamin!
I think The Diary of Jane is the best Breaking Benjamin song, with I will not bow as a close second. It pans me to see this close to perfect song at fourth place. The scream at the beginning is chilling, and the guitar work on this song is just divine. I Will Not Bow deserves to be in the top two at all times.
This their best jammin tune, but man - this band so good, a tie could be between 4 or 5 for 1st, and another 4 or 5 for 2nd...
6 Dear Agony
Just amazing! Caution! Listen to it and it will stuck in your head for quite a while. I've warned you
This is just an amazing song. Simple as that. My friend said to me one time "Everyone has problems, you don't have to write a song about it" Let's just say we're not friends anymore" I think this song really describes how you would feel on your deathbed "I will fight for last breath, I will fight until the end"
yeah, one of two songs that ever brought tears to my eyes. the other one being let it burn by red. but this song is so powerful, all my friends hate it and I don't understand why.
Emotionally driven and powerfully played, the only song that has ever brought a tear to my eye. If God were to make a song about pain and 'agony' then this is what it would be, timeless and flawless, amazing.
7 Evil Angel
The second and the third chorus are amazing. The way Benjamin manages to switch between harsh and soft (yet sharp) voice is not everyone can do. This ability is very rare. Another person who can manipulate his voice in this fashion is Chester Bennington.
This song is awesome, 1st time I heard it I fell in love with it!
I put this song on a YouTube video of mine and it is now my most viewed video with thousands of views!
Breaking benjamin for the win!
Amazing. Just amazing
Amazing Song, honestly under rated and most people havnt heard of it, In my opinion, keep it that way, the less people that hear it the better. A song this great shouldn't be ruined by over play through radio and the like, as so many songs today are!
8 Blow Me Away
I listen this song even when I'm playing games! IN fact I'm listening it right now! IT ROCKS SO MUCH! Its genius the lyrics, everything. Anybody who loves heavy metal should listen this song... I can't imagine a day without an hour of listening to Blow me away!
I went a very very long time listening to this song on repeat. It's so catchy and I'm convinced Ben Burnley is the only person who could sing it and make it sound THAT. GOOD. It's amazing live, by the way :)
Blow Me Away is my favorite BB song ever. It's guitar part is amazing, and so is the vocals. I started liking it so much when I first started playing Halo 2 and I haven't liked it even a little bit less since then. I honestly think this should be their number 1 song. In my opinion Diary Of Jane is good but not as good as Blow Me Away
This song got me into hard rock and eventually into metal. Actually is a pretty big influence on my life and it's still as badass as it always was when I played halo back in the day.
9 Without You
Best song ever! The lyrics are just so great, they blend in with the music perfectly. Everything about this song is just perfect. This song deserves to be higher up!
The orchestral section is the best part about this song. Absolutely Breaking Benjamin at their best.
This song is amazing. The music, the singing, the atmosphere... It's perfect. It shouldn't be this low on this list. Nope.
This song is Really good, awesome lyrics
it should be on the top...
and the music is so great very awesome guitar it really feel everything on this song
10 Crawl
Okay, while I may agree with half the list up there, this songs definitely deserves the spot in the top 5 people!
Awesome song, perfect balance of hard hitting, aggressive rock and more melodic rock in the chorus. My favorite song by them
Man this song got me through some tough and bad days in my life, and I'm in high school. This song made me feel like I'm not alone who feels like their a shadow of a man and nothing less, because you're always stepped on and told that you don't belong or that you won't accomplish anything in the world, this song is just so emotional and that is what music should always be.
Not to mention the part where Benjamin Burnley sings A shadow of a man I am nothing lwss I am holding on still, holding on.
I always feel like I'm holding on and can never get back tito the surface to live a true happy life.
And that was the message Benjamin Burnley was trying to adress I think.
This album was actually the first album I bought by Breaking Benjamin
When I heard they broke up I was so depressed, I'm still have not got over it though.
This chorus is awesome. The grunting is perfect
11 Until the End
This song was the first breaking Benjamin song I ever heard. I love it! Only number 8?! Why so fail commissioner?!? My friend said Linkin park was awesome... I agreed
He also said Slipknot was awesome... I agreed
Hue also said Korn was awesome... I agreed
My friend said breaking Benjamin sucked... I punched him in the face
This song represents me!
This was the first song I heard from these guys and the sound of their voices was just remarkable.
WTF! this song is legendary
it should be in the top three not at the bottom of the ranking...
THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER! It was the first song I ever heard from Breaking Benjamin. When I listened to this song, it made me realize that life doesn't give up on you, you give up on it. You have to keep going, it's not worth it to end your pain and cause others pain. This song gave me an optimistic perspective on life. It's so incredible how just a few words can make a difference in someone's life, which is why I love Breaking Benjamin and I will support them until the end (no pun intended)
12 Had Enough
This is their heaviest song to date and most aggressive. I love how epic the intro is and the chorus is just amazing.
Amazing song. It's so aggressive! I absolutely love how angry it is. This song is BEAST!
I was so confused because I love bb... all the songs... can I vote for all?
but had enough is special for me... :X
Why only 12?!?! This is a awesome song that I think at least should be in the top 5
13 Dance with the Devil
I love this song! It's one of my favorites. Love the lyrics, the beat, the tone, the EVERYTHING!
Really amazing song with superb lyrics. Listen to this song before you decide not to vote for it.
I really have to say...Breaking Benjamin is a very open band, branching to different sounds, beats, songs, and sub-genres. But...Breaking benjamin has found their sound! This song is excellent and will reach out to any lover of rock.
This is probably my favourite BB song, I can't believe it's only in 10th place. I really love the lyrics, and the music itself rocks.
14 Unknown Soldier
Well written song. It has a lot of meaning and seems exactly how a soldier fells. This is one of my favorite breaking benjamin songs. It is well written and has a lot of meaning to it
One of the best anti war songs of all tine.
I agree with you I like this song also and I was surprised it was not in top ten
I like this song it talks about being a soldier and how they would defend us I'm grateful for the soldiers that defend us so we could sleep sound in our bed without regret - BreakingBenjamin♥1
15 Away
such a good song, made we are not alone one of the best albums ever. - Giusti97
Should be in top 10 such an addictive song
This song has the best chorus from BB.
Should be on the top 5
Amazing song from start to finish! The drums change after each section and it's masterfully done!
16 Anthem of the Angels
Epic lyrics. Check it out. It will make you cry... Seriously... Just listen before you vote
Now this is a song that should have had an acoustic version. It is so emotional, the whole juxtaposition of someone being alive in your memory and being dead in reality and heart breaking. I though that the song should have been the slow but the electric guitar actually conveys the angst and the epic and complex journey people go through when somebody dies. I like the dark, cold, dormant and morbid imagery in the song. This song should easily be in the top 5. I love it when the bridge becomes softer and slower which really makes the words in the chorus stand out. Both the lyrics and the music fully convey and add more meaning to emotions and philosophy of life and death
I've never heard a Breaking Benjamin song that I didn't like, but out of all of them this is my favorite. Its soft but it still has their hard rock side too. Great Song!
The begining to this song is a great sound. And the sound and the lyrics colide to make a great song. Breaking benjamin is a band I greatly like. I also like better days by them.
17 Failure
I was happy when I first heard this song and was glad to know breaking benjamin didn't fall off after those 4 years
Top played song in my library
"The lead single from their new album 'Dark Before Dawn' is absolutely amazing. The sound of this band has matured without radically departing from the original one"
Their newest song, rocks my brain out! I hope the new album will be good like this.
18 Hopeless
O come on, just listen to those grunts...
Also, the quality of the drums is just mind-boggling. I just love this one
THIS IS A MUST LISTEN. Not a very popular song, but trust me. If you love Diary of Jane, you will LOVE this song. Go to Youtube, and listen. Also, I have no clue why Crawl isn't on this top ten. It is just as good.
I agree with this last comment. Give me a sign and I will not Bow is overrated. But Breath is good.
ONE WORD... CHILLS!
19 Firefly
Awesome song... very different - sumanrocksu
Out of this world chorus! One of the best choruses ever made; so damn intense! Seriously, 19th for this insanely epic song is an insult to breaking benjamin. Need to get it higher, and get it fast!
Simply amazing. I love how Ben's anger shows through towards the end of the lyrics.
You act like you know the band members?
20 What Lies Beneath
NUMBER 32?! This is my favorite BB song, the chorus is simply amazing with the blend of instruments.
This is one of bb best song in my opinion, totally underrated
It's my favorite, sometimes it makes me cry. Other times it gives me strength. It really can be applied to my life. I guess its just sad that it is 20.
This song is so sad and deep the first time I heard it I cried. I think this song is about some person who messed or wanted to fight Benjamin Burnley and he expresses they way he feels about this ass.
This song should not be this low, you know a lot of songs are underrated and this song is one of them.
Thanks breaking benjamin for bringing a deep song that I think needed to be adressed to metal.
21 Polyamorous
I love this song. Its one of my favorites. I love like 11 of their songs, so its hard to choose just one.
Such raw lyrics, and good music and vocals. Beats any other hate song by this band. - bbiah
Awesome song, this was my first Breaking Bnejamin Song I ever listen, EPIC!
Only top 20? should at least be in the top 15.
22 Hollow
Absolutely the best. Solo, chorus, double guitars. Vocals and the put together gives it an amazing song quality
The best song of the new album
This song is the definition of perfection. The creepiest, most beautiful piece of work they've ever done besides "Forget it" but that is a much slower song. The chorus and guitar solo are especially mesmerizing. Best song on Dark before Dawn and I can't wait for Ember! - A7X3DGBB
This is the best song they have ever made,I guarantee you that within a year this will be number 1 song on this list!
23 Fade Away
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH! Should be #1 not #5. The chorus is unmatchable and it just touches you in an amazing way! And it is so catchy! And the singer really put his all into this song to make it even better to listen to. Trust me, you'll be listening to this one day in and day out. Just download it and see for yourself. - bbiah
What the hell this song must have really faded to end up all the way down here. This song Blows the roof!
Lmao, what the heck! How is this not in the top 10!? This is the first track from the brilliant Dear Agony and what a way to begin an album! This song frickin ROCKS! The riff is awesome!
I can't stop listening to this song! The guitar riffs are amazing!
24 You Fight Me
what!.31?. you have got to be kidding me. is there any song better than this. I don't think so.
This song really gets me amped up. Its easily one of their top ten songs.
This song should be in top 10. My top 10 is 1. So cold 2. Give me a sign 3. Dance with the devil 4. I will not bow 5. Breath 6. You fight me 7. Crawl 8. Had enough 9. In to the nothing 10. Evil angel
This is a very underrated song. And it's the best Breaking Benjamin song. Come on! Put this at #1!
25 Break My Fall
This should really be at least in the top 20, if not the top 10. The lyrics are meaningful, emotional, the riffs are great, the melodies are beautiful, and frankly, it sends shivers down my spine. Listen to this before you vote.
How is this song rated so low? It's obvious a lot of people have never heard it... Give it a chance people!
A Breaking Benjamin song that conveys an almost positive message however it is still awesome and super melodic. It's not my favorite but it's definitely in my top10
This song should be next to "the diary of jane". It goes in so well with the music, I love listening to it all the time.. Never gets old.
26 Angels Fall
This is my 3rd favorite - scienceLover10
One of their new comeback songs. I feel that it is like the Give me a Sign song of this album whereas Failure is like I Will Not Bow.
This song best of 4.greatest hits 2015
Cool, better than Failure.
27 Follow
Are you crazy? this should be in the list of forever top 5 rock songs of all time - sumanrocksu
That's awesome...! I've heard this once and I just wanted to get to know what's the title. Just then I've looked for their albums and they're really good.
How the flip is this song #20?!?! The guitar + bass riff is legendary! Any song that has a great start and great chorus is a great song, no matter what.
This should be in the top 10
28 Forget It
This song is such a wonderful melody. The acoustic guitar perfectly plays in with the lyrics he's singing, and is definitely a big contender with the rest.
U r the part of me I don't wanna see... what a beautiful lyrics
Sings like a normal person.
This is a very slow song of theirs but its absolutely amazing I really feel this should be much higher up and the way Ben's vocals are in this song changing scales it deserves a LOT more. Come on Vote guys. I bet you'll haven't heard it yet.
29 You
Are you serious?! This should definitely be in the top 10. The vocals are amazing and there are no words to describe the lyrics. The ending of this song will just take your breath away! - bbiah
Should be in the top 20. Very underrated along with Unknown Soldier.
The lyrics, the vocals, and the music is spot on. You don't know Breaking Benjamin if you haven't listened to this song. - bbiah
This world has no music taste this is the best put this at #1
30 Ashes of Eden
Just got into this band and this is my favorite. I'm shocked how low it is. The other aongs must be bloody good
Should be in top 10
An easy and simple, but an amazing song. Touching, and one of my favorites as of right now. Best song.
Should be way lower... #5 at least
31 Lights Out
Breaking Benjamin have heaps of great songs, but this is the best. Great riff, lyrics, and Ben's voice is just amazing! He can sing like an angel but then shout like a demon. Excellent stuff!
Dedicated to all of the people who treat you bad. Awesome song! Great heavy rifts and awesome vocals! Perfect for when working out!
Badass song, great when you're pissed and just want to punch somebody
It's a great song. And 14th is very disappointing come on guys! Really!?
32 Simple Design
My favorite breaking benjamin song to play on guitar. So much variety in this song, from the head banging pre chorus to the beautiful breakdown/bridge, this song has it all. My second favorite breaking benjamin song, only behind "until the end".
Awesome SONG, GREAT VOCALS AND GUITAR... BREAKING BENJAMIN *ROCKS*
First half of the song is fantastic
The entire song is just a jam and could have easily been a single. The lyrics are very well written, the guitar parts feel inspired, and the drum beat is probably the best drum beat on any Breaking Benjamin song before Chad Szeliga joined the band.
33 Here We Are
love this song. The solo is amazing and the whole song is a perfect mix of "fast-paced" rock and slow, calm bits in the middle. And the solo, again. I love it. Maybe not number 1, but number 37 is just ridiculous.
No words...
Absolutely amazing and totally underrated
This song being at number 33 is a joke, the guitar solo and the meaning of the song is brilliant and I can't believe how underrated it is.
That solo sounds absolutely beautiful.
It's one of my favorite songs!
34 Sugarcoat
Great song by BB... almost as good as polyamorous when it comes to saturate, on the heavier side :D surprised its not higher, love the chorus
35 Defeated
Awesome song, epic chorus.
This song best of top 2. This greatest hits 2015.i like this song.
"As I fight for one last prayer" from this, the song goes for a big blast... Truly amazing... @zilkad
This is best 4
36 Topless
LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. Not sure why it's so low down!
Alright, sure it isn't top 5 great, but Topless is such a good song, and the lyrics show how much the alcohol was affecting Ben. This should be at least somewhere close to the top ten, not number 22
I don't understand. This song cannot be on no.28. Because have so so many other songs that are better than this one. This song only exist because of Ben's alcoholism.
Not a fan of this song, but it's there if you want to check it out. It's jut not nearly as catchy as other tunes they have, such as "I Will Not Bow", "Diary of Jane", and etc.
37 Rain
One of the best with thought provoking child rhyme
I didn't felt before that breaking benjamin can sing a calm song.. Without any loud guitar.. I heard this one.. And I was like WOW.. EPIC
Love the song! It has an awesome meaning! This is one of my favorite songs from them, along with I will not bow and Diary of Jane.
Awesome song. Shows the peaceful side of Breaking Benjamin with very emotional lyrics. This song deserves to be at least in the top ten and is very underrated.
38 Breakdown
Number 39! WHAT THE HELL! It should be at top 20, it's so good that I can't stop listening to it!
You gotta be kidding me. 39? Wow. I figured this song would at least be 15-20
What?! Breakdown the 29th Oh my god it can't be real! It's still not an excellent one like the diary of jane but it's one of my favorites! Just try it! And especially in it's beginning
Are you KIDDING ME?! This is one of their, if not, their GREATEST SONGS EVER!
39 Sooner or Later
This song definitely deserves a higher spot than 30. This was one of the best songs on We Are Not Alone.
This is easily my favorite song by them. Suprised it isn't more popular. Easily gets me going. Very well written.
If you were ever in this situation, what this song describes, you will love it.
"Sooner or later
You're gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under
Leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away"
I think this song is about to live with a person who is an alcoholic or a drug - addicted. Many people say that this song might be about a unhappy realationship, but
#27? Wow... Surprised its rated so low because its a guaranteed top 5 song by Breaking Benjamin.
My top 5:
5. Dear Agony
4. Sooner or Later
3. I Will Not Bow
2. The Diary of Jane
1. Anthem of the Angels
40 Forever
This deserves to be in the top 10. My personal favorite
Can I live forever!
These words shake me...
Your stupid... It even days forever. Beautiful song, really emotional and mellow with an awesome and powerful outro with guitar solo... A must listen for breaking benjamin fans
What The.. ? Who added this to the list? There's not such song named Saturate, it's the name of their first album... Oh God
V 1 CommentUListen to Sample
41 Who Wants to Live Forever
I live this song! It was first written by queen, another one of my favorite bands, which makes this song sound so much better!
Originally created by Queen, Breaking Benjamin perfects it! Very passionate lyrics and melody that just gives you the chills and a mix of sorrow, hope, and peace! It isn't as moved as other BB songs but nevertheless, awesome!
42 Into the Nothing
This one is way too low on the list... But then of course, ALL Breaking Benjamin songs deserve to be in the top ten. - michealjosephkennard
One of the best songs ever made. You have to listen to it to understand how good it is. You'll find yourself listening to it over ad over again. - bbiah
Are you serious? This song MUST be on top 10. One of the best with Diary of Jane, Breath, Give Me a Sign and I Will Not Bow.
It rivals I will not bow and diary of jane. Listen to it once and you will hit the replay button at least 100 times.
43 Phase
To be honest this is probably my favorite song off of the Saturate album! This should at least be in the top 25 instead of the top 60
Awesome song, the beginning is epic and so is the end. Very under-appreciated album in general, Saturate was their best album in my opinion.
This is my absolute favorite off of Saturate. The drum solo in the beginning is LEGENDARY! Very empowering song and deserves to be in the top 10, then again all Breaking Benjamin songs deserve a high title.
Who the hell votes here? Where are the people with taste? At least give this song a shot, it's worth it!
I'm sorry but the first 2 albums really need a lot more recognition than what they're getting. I hate to sound like the old school guy, but I honestly think the first 2 albums are by far the best!
I second that! The first album is the defining one. Every song is awesome. The top ten on here is really not a good representation. Yeah some of them are good, but nothing like the first album. And this song, is just my favorite off of the album, but it's a difficult choice. - jMag220
Home represents everything that growing up is: half the time wanting to be allowed more freedom ("Can you let me go"), the other half just wanting to return to when things were easy and stories like the Wizard of Oz were believable ("There's no place like home"). Unforgettable.
This is easily my favorite Breaking Benjamin song EVER. I don't know what you freaks are talking about. If I could chose a song for someone to sing to me on my last day of my life than this would probably be it
45 Next to Nothing
This song really should be higher on the list
Its amazing and way too UNDERRATED
46 Skin
This song is great! It should be way higher in the list.
I listen to breaking Benjamin a lot. So much that I've listenes and learned the name of each and every song they have released. Many favourites have been changed but this song is what I wouldn't change when ever it comes on in my play list. An amazing song and totally overrated. It shouldn't be this below in the list. It must be around top 10.
Extremely underrated, awesome beat. How did the likes of Without You & Anthem Of Angels get ahead of this?
Idon't believe this guys please listen to this song...
Underrated but iconic song!
Best chorus ever. Why the is this song so low in this list, you people obviously didn't listen too all their songs, only the popular ones, you should listen to all their albums, then you are qualified to vote
If you don't like this song, I'll shove your head under water!
Wow people this is the best song by breaking benjamin it is way better than the dairy of jane (to me) listen to it more than once and tell me it is not good. Really underrated and what about
I've heard every song and love them all but this is my favorite by far
48 Torn in Two
I'm speechless. I literally fell out of my chair when I first listened to this, this might be the best or at least my favorite BB song ever.
This is the best song off the new album! It's one of the best Breaking Benjamin songs of all time. It sounds like it's a hybrid of Phobia, Dark Before Dawn, and Dear Agony songs and a little bit of We Are Not Alone sprinkled in there.
49 Medicate
This is one of the best song, it is so catchy.
Are you kidding me? This is one of their best songs, it's as good as Polyamorous if not better. The lyrics are awesome too:
Run away, make hate and get laid, get laid. You tie me up, I've had enough so medicate, medicate.
50 Red Cold River
How is this not their best song? Extremely underrated. This song portrays such a powerful message and It's my favorite song of all time
Most heavy and melodic song from the band...just love the hook - Taran2607
I have to be honest, I think this song could've been awesome without the screaming. I know people say that adds to the track, and I do think it's pretty cool sounding, but I vastly prefer his singing ability. Not a bad song by any means, I just think that it could've been incredible. - MasonOcker
Despite being a later entry in their history this is in my opinion their best song to date.

Are rare gold and silver coins better than bullion?
The slew of gold dealers in the United States means fierce price competitions among dealers, and for household investors it can also mean confusion. Some dealers swear by rare coins while rival dealers promote bullion as the only acceptable gold investment. Is one form of gold and silver better than others? Webster's Dictionary defines "better" as "more advantageous and/or effective" so to determine if rare coins have more advantages than bullion one must determine what effects each of these two investment vehicles have on portfolios' values.
Rare gold and silver coins cost more than their bullion counterparts of equal weight and purity. This may sound like a disadvantage, but consider the fact that while gold bullion coins have increased over 500 percent in the last decade, many investment-grade rare coins have outperformed that mark. Unlike modern-day coins, pieces like Double Eagles and Indian Heads are no longer minted so their rarity value tends to go up each year even if the gold spot price falls. Many investors prefer to pay a little more up front to get the increased profit potential that rare coins provide. However, due to the nuances of the rare coin market it is not advisable to buy rarities as a short-term investment.
A major reason many people prefer rare gold and silver coins has to do with an executive order that was signed by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. The order forbade the hoarding of gold bullion and made it illegal for US citizens to possess more than five ounces of gold bullion at any one time. The law was repealed in 1976 but many Americans fear future government intervention in our financial markets. Rare gold coins were specifically exempted from confiscation in 1933 and many people choose investment-grade rare coins today for that reason. This is only an advantage for people who believe that another precious metals confiscation is possible, and investors should carefully research the historic gold confiscation before deciding on bullion or rare coins.
Rare coins and bullion each have their own advantages; the "better" or more advantageous investment depends entirely on the investor's financial outlook and point-of-view. Both forms of gold and silver have the potential to gain value and the risk of tanking. Find a qualified (and ideally non-commissioned) professional who can help you set goals and choose the right type of gold for you.

Where Are Betty Gore's Children Today?
zef art/Shutterstock
By Jennifer Deutschmann/Dec. 9, 2022 1:52 pm EST
On June 30, 1980, Allan Gore traveled to Minnesota from his home in Wylie, Texas, for a business trip. When he arrived at his destination, he attempted to contact his wife, Betty, but she did not answer the phone. Allan became concerned, as Betty was home alone with their 1-year-old daughter and it was unlike her to miss his calls. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach his wife, A&E reports Allan contacted a neighbor to go to the house to check on his family.
Several neighbors eventually went to the Gore home together to check on Betty and the children. When they entered the home, they were horrified to find Betty unresponsive on the floor in the utility room. It appeared that she had been murdered, as she was covered in blood and a bloody ax was found lying near her body. One-year-old Bethany was found alive inside her crib in her room. However, she had clearly been alone for several hours and was in serious distress.
When authorities arrived on scene, they confirmed Betty was dead. It was later determined that she had been struck a total of 41 times with an ax. Although they initially assumed the attack was random, law enforcement officials ultimately identified a suspect, who was close with the Gores. As reported by A&E, a woman named Candy Montgomery was not only one of Betty's best friends, she was also having an affair with Allan.

After conducting several interviews, authorities confirmed Candy Montgomery was the last person to see Betty Gore alive. On the morning of June 13, Candy went to the Gore home to get a bathing suit for Betty and Allan's older daughter, Alisa, who was staying with the Montgomerys for the night. Following Candy's departure from the Gore home, nobody saw Betty alive again.
As reported by Bustle, Montgomery eventually admitted killing Gore with the ax. However, she insisted she killed her friend in self-defense. According to Montgomery, Gore confronted her about having an affair with Allan and became increasingly combative. Montgomery said she grabbed the ax and struck Gore to protect herself from the angry woman. Montgomery was arrested and charged with murder just two weeks later. During her trial, A&E reports, Montgomery testified that Gore initially approached her with the ax and prevented her from leaving her home. Montgomery said she was simply trying to protect herself and did not go to Gore's home with any intention of inflicting harm.
Prior to leaving the Gore home, Montgomery admitted, she took a shower and attempted to clean up any evidence she may have left behind. Although prosecutors argued that those facts negated Montgomery's claims of self defense, she was ultimately found not guilty on all charges. The outcome of the case remains controversial. However, A&E reports Montgomery remains free and was last known to be working as a family counselor.
Betty Gore's daughters are estranged from their father

During Candy Montgomery's trial, Betty Gore's husband, Allan, testified that he and Montgomery agreed to end their affair months before Betty's death. As reported by The Netline, Allan's testimony was crucial to Montgomery's defense, as it raised questions about the prosecution's claims that Montgomery killed Gore in a fit of passion.
In the midst of the trial, Allan Gore married a woman named Elaine Clift. The couple initially retained custody of the Gore children, Alisa and Bethany. However, The Netline reports the children were eventually removed from the home amid allegations of abuse. Both children were ultimately placed in the custody of Betty's parents, Bertha and Bob Pomeroy, who lived in Kansas.
According to Bustle, Alisa, who now uses the name Lisa, and Bethany, remain largely estranged from their father, although he is friends with both of his daughters on social media. The girls, however, seem to have maintained a close relationship, and they routinely comment on each other's social media posts. Bethany is currently married to Chad Mickey. The couple has two daughters and one son. Their older daughter, Josie, shares a birthday with Bethany's late mother, and her younger daughter shares Betty's name. Bustle reports Bethany's youngest child, Henry, was born in December 2019. Bethany attended Wichita State University and went on to become a teacher like her late mother. According to her LinkedIn profile, she currently works as an assistant principal at the Las Vegas Coral Academy of Science.

As reported by The U.S. Sun, Lisa and her husband, John Harder, currently reside in Kansas with their sons, Jacob and Sam. Lisa attended Norwich high School and Kansas State University, where she earned an accounting degree. She is currently employed at Koch Engineered Solutions as a Business Controller. Bustle reports Lisa and her husband John also raise pigs.
According to Publicist Library, both Bethany and Lisa discussed how they felt about Candy Montgomery during an interview with Dallas Morning News. During the interview, Lisa said, "I don't know if I could ever forgive her. I know that you should, but ..." During the same interview, Bethany said, "I wonder if she thinks about it every day, like I do. ... I wonder if she has us in mind. I really want to know what happened. Because she is the only one who knows. What makes me angry is thinking about what could have been."
The tragic story of Betty Gore's death was thrust back into the spotlight with the 2022 release of Hulu's mini-series "Candy," which IMDb reports starred Jessica Biel and Melanie Lynskey. (The trailer is on YouTube.) The series follows the events leading up to and following Gore's death from Candy's perspective. Publicist Library reports Allan Gore is currently retired and is living in Sarasota, Florida, with someone who he identified as a "domestic partner" on his Facebook page.

Q: combine the same values in array Help me pls combine array values.
I have the same array:
In my case i should save customers name like a key.
    Array
(

                    [id] =>
                   23402
                    [qua] =>

                    [qua] =>
                   7
                )

How to get something like this:
Array
(
    [Test Name] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                   [name] =>
                  banana
                    [id] =>
                  45002
                    [quantity] =>
                  30 // summ quantity but unique name and id
                )
            [1] => Array
                (
                    [name] =>
                    apple
                    [id] =>
                   23402
                    [qua] =>
                    1
                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [name] =>
                   cherry
                    [id] =>
                   40017
                    [qua] =>
                   7
                )

In my case i should save customers name like a key.
Then i will upload this on a table.

A: You can use array_map and array_reduce to accomplish it:
$results = array_map(function ($result) {
    return array_reduce($result, function ($carry, $item) {
        if (isset($carry[$item['id']])) {
            $carry[$item['id']]['quantity'] += $item['quantity'];
        } else {
            $carry[$item['id']] = $item;
        }
        return $carry;
    }, array());
}, $results);

From the documentation:

array_map() returns an array containing all the elements of array1 after applying the callback function to each one.
array_reduce() applies iteratively the callback function to the elements of the array, so as to reduce the array to a single value.

In our case the callback given to the array_reduce function returns a final array which contains unique items by id.

73 killed, 50 villages burnt as Taraba boils again
At least 73 persons have been killed and 50 villages burnt following a renewed violence between the Hausa-Fulani and Yandang communities in Lau local government area of Taraba state.
Sahabi Mahmoud, state chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), told journalists on Friday that the hostilities, which started on July 5, has claimed the lives of more than 23 of his members.
He said over 3,000 displaced Hausa-Fulani, mainly women and children, who fled the area, are currently taking refuge at the Muslim Council Secretariat in Jalingo and other neighbouring local government areas.
Mahmoud lamented that it was "unfortunate" that since the displaced persons arrived the Muslim Council in Jalingo, no government official had visited the camp or provided any relief material to the victims.
On his part, Aaron Artimas, an elder of the Yandang community, said more than 50 persons from the side of the Yandang and other tribes in area were confirmed dead as a result of the conflicts.
Artimas said the Hausa-Fulanis, Yandang, Mumuye and Yoti, among other tribes, had lived in the area as brothers and sisters without problems for centuries.
He blamed the recent recurring conflicts on incitement from people outside the area who wanted to remain relevant politically.
"Some militia from neighbouring Adamawa State have infiltrated into Babagasa, a border village between Taraba and Adamawa, and have been wreaking havoc on all the surrounding villages in Lau local government in Taraba," he said.
"Villages such as Tikule, Bariki, Santuraki, Budong, Mbonding and Panti-Ladda, among others, were burnt by the militia.
"Over 2,000 displaced persons from the affected villages are currently taking refuge at the Central Primary School, Jalingo.
"Some are in other villages like Sunkani, Apawa, Zing and Bali all in Taraba, while several others fled to Gorobi, Sabon-Gida, Bujum and Mayo-Belwa in Adamawa State.
"Since the arrival of IDPs in their current locations, they have been living at the mercy of God and good spirited individuals who have been taking food to them. As I speak with you now, since the conflicts erupted in Lau Local Government on July 5, there is no presence of security while the people continue to kill themselves."
However, David Misal, spokesman of Taraba police command, confirmed the incident but said the number of casualties was still being compiled, while normalcy had been restored in the affected areas.

I recently started using the CLEANY TEETH toothbrush and was delightfully surprised when I noticed my teeth were brighter. The lightness of the toothbrush is wonderful for traveling and the deep cleaning without hard brushing made a big difference in comfort. Thanks!
I started using the CLEANY TEETH toothbrush recently. I felt like I was getting a bit of a tickle my throat from traveling. I am certain that because I brushed a few extra times in the day and the night, that the antibacterial effect improved my sore throat and the slight cough never became a full out cold. It was amazing! I love it!

Carroll Gantz
Birth/Death Age:
US industrial designer. Born in Constantinople as the son of a Greek publisher and diplomat, he served with a suicide minesweeper squadron in WW I, was torpedoed, rescued by a US transport and landed in Boston in 1919. There, he studied art and illustration with John Singer Sargent at the Fenway Art School. In 1924, he came to New York, opened a commercial studio called The New York Display Company, studied at the Art Students League, started as an illustrator for Harper's and New Yorker magazines and began the practice of industrial design. He wrote, illustrated and published a number of fiction books; Contempo, in 1929; Ultima in 1930; and Phobia in 1931. In 1933 he established the first internal design department for the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and remained as its consultant until 1964, while continuing to practice independently. In 1938 he was one of the founders and the first president of the American Designers Institute. He urged the breakaway of the group from the Designers Institute of the American Furniture Mart to allow designers to work on many areas, not just furniture design. He served as its president again in 1948. In 1939 he designed the first consumer television sets for RCA that were introduced at the New York World's Fair, and he designed the theme and concept of the RCA pavilion there. With Alexander Kostellow he developed early programs of industrial design education in the early 1940s and published Dogs are Like That in 1941. During WW II, he was with the US Army Air Corps developing camouflage techniques, and, with the forerunner of the CIA, twice entered Greece secretly by parachute to organize the underground. He was president of the Silvermine Guild of Artists in CT. and was elected the first Chairman of the Board of the Industrial Designers Society of America when it was formed in 1965.

William J. Nairn (1856 – 1902) was a Scottish socialist activist, the most prominent Scottish Marxist in the late 1890s.

Nairn worked as a stonebreaker and educated himself.  He was a founder member of the Glasgow branch of the Social Democratic Federation (SDF), and served on the national executive of the SDF in 1895, 1896, 1898 and 1899.  During this period, he wrote for Justice under the pseudonym "Sandy McFarlane".

In his spare time, Nairn supported the co-operative movement and the temperance movement.

Nairn died of pneumonia early in 1902.

On this day, Hendrix signed a contract for $12,500 to perform at the Fillmore East in New York. Most importantly, the Fillmore East would serve as the venue for the recording of a live album by the guitarist. In recent weeks, Hendrix had determined that the most expedient way to resolve his obligation to Capitol Records per the 1968 PPX legal settlement would be to deliver a live album to the label. "The Fillmore gigs were put together very last minute," recalls Hendrix road manager Gerry Stickells. "The Fillmore East and West were trend spots and Bill Graham was the trend guy. It would be like a major act doing a live album in a club now, compared to a stadium. "

A New Jersey juror was removed during deliberations in a murder trial for lying during jury selection. The juror is now facing perjury charges in Essex County. On February 26, 2015, Wacoa Stanford of Newark was indicted on three counts of false swearing. She is accused of knowingly concealing that she had a prior record and DYFS investigation. During deliberations, Stanford specifically brought up her DYFS case to other jurors and one of the jurors told the judge they thought it was affecting Stanford's ability to be fair.
It just goes to show that the age old wisdom of tell the truth can always be the best way to go.
Canadian scientists have developed a shoe with a rubber sole that contains microscopic glass fibers that act as tiny spikes gripping the ground as you walk. The claim is that the glass will grip the ice and prevent those nasty slip and falls that are too frequent in the winter time. For now, the researchers have been testing the new shoes in a lab with volunteers. If this works, it would be a lifesaver for many. Each winter, you constantly have to worry about the melt and refreeze situation. Many people still take the bus to work, have to walk around the corner to their car or even walk to work. Imagine not having to worry if you slip on black ice. Imagine the elderly wearing these and not having to worry about falling and breaking a hip.
Who knows. Maybe these shoes will be on the market for next winter!
Over the years, I myself, and our firm have represented numerous individuals that suffered a head injury after an accident. Most often I see it caused by an auto accident. The accident happens so quickly and boom! Your head hit the airbag and then jolted back into the seat or vice versa. I have had clients who had their head hit the window. A black out period typically happens. It can last a few seconds to much longer than that. A concussion is diagnosed by the emergency room and then you wonder, what is next? Next depends on the level of impact you suffered. I have represented those with a mild head injury who appear to be able to function during the day, but when you look close, you see what is really happening. I have also represented those with a more severe head injury that results in seizures and life long problems where a guardian needs to be appointed. In each case, no matter what level of head injury you call it, it is sad for the victim and sad for the family. I can't do anything to make it go away. I can't fix it. I can help make the symptoms easier to manage and deal with by making sure you get the treatment the doctor recommends paid by the insurance company. I can help make sure you get the money you deserve from the person who caused this accident and change in life. I can't waive a magic wand through, which is what I would really want to do. I can across a great article written by someone suffering a brain injury from a fall. It details what she is going through. It helps you understand what is happening. If you have a loved one suffering from this, take a minute to read the article.

{
    $file_result = "data:image/gif;base64,";

I surmise ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 are same person too.
Second, ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 have same thinking. ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 admire communist and they hate Democracy. For example, ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 hate Democracy country such as South Korea. They hate Democracy political party named Min Joo Dang. ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 hate Kim Dae Jung and No Mu Hyeon. Because Kim Dae Jung and No Mu Hyeon are famous person who resist communism dictator. Also ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 admire communism dictator, named Park Jeong Hee.
Also ko:user:100범 and ko:user:판델라 hate woman and they hate feminist such feminist as Kim Dae Jung and No Mu Hyeon and foreign feminist.
Probably vandal Nipponese Dog Calvero (en:Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nipponese Dog Calvero) or impersonator on nn.wikipedia. Is it possible to find any IPs/ranges for us to block?
This is a cross wiki issue, the accounts user:阮雄, user:John0617, and user:騜 have been blocked on sevral wikis, and there are probably many more socks.
Please check these user. I doubt they are EMPIS(regular vandal).
橋頭保を築造する and ジッチニブンネーネー are created in short time and these username is very similar to EMPIS's sockpuppets. プロスパ is also similar name to EMPIS's socks.
予約する is obvious vandal user. See this (「死ね」 means "die"). I think this user is probably a sock of EMPIS.
The users geolocate to opposite sides of the planet, but the IPs I am seeing look like open proxies or compromised machines (though I can't check conclusively at present). I'll pass that along to someone else if I can find someone available & if not I'll do it later & note the results. For now, I'd tend to consider Wrote to be Unlikely unless the behavioural evidence is highly compelling, which I cannot judge.
Both accounts show some common interest in editing articles about TV programmes and Chinese culture. In particular, some articles like zh:反華 and zh:格微软件 had been edited by both accounts.
The "active periods" of both accounts suggest a link between them. The account Mokaw was created in zh.wikipedia.org on 1 Apr 2009, while Bajatvj was being blocked at that time. Bajatvj became active again after the block expired on June. Then Mokaw was blocked by some causes else. While the block on Mokaw expired on 16 Jul 2009, Bajatvj became dormant. Mokaw was blocked again on 2 Sep 2009, and then Bajatvj becomes active again, until got blocked on 14 Sep 2009.
Both accounts like to empty their own user_talk pages to remove notices and warnings from other users.
Both accounts show an interest in moving articles, usually without discussion.
Both accounts show an interest in adding "蔣介石 / 蔣中正" (i.e. en:Chiang Kai-shek) in "regional vocabulary conversion" in zh.wikipedia.org.
Bajatvj had been blocked in 2008 as the user was suspected to have used the sock puppet zh:User:大嘢 to circumvent block in 2007.
Please check whether br:Implijer:Bran, br:Implijer:Bleiz, br:Implijer:Meven and br:Implijer:Gad are sock puppet accounts of each other.
All accounts other than br:Implijer:Meven are of very recent creation, one after the other, and all have animal names.

In 2015, archaeologists announced they had analyzed dozens of sets of remains excavated from the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. After performing CAT scans on 30 individuals, the archaeologists made some interesting medical findings – among them, that the ancient Romans had no signs of tooth decay. Even before Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, Pompeiians appeared to have no use for dentists, indicating diet was the primary factor in preventing tooth decay.
What can Edmond dentists learn from the Ancient Pompeiians?
The ancient Romans ate almost no sugar.
The only sugars eaten by ancient Romans were those naturally occurring in fruits and vegetables. By contrast, American diet is full of added sugar, which teams up with plaque to eat away at tooth enamel. Particularly harmful are sticky sweets, like gummies and caramels, and sugary drinks like sodas; both tend to coat the tooth's surface and promote increased decay. Substitute healthy snacks and bottled water instead.
Ancient Romans ate a great deal of fruits and vegetables.
Leafy green vegetables are a good source of calcium, which is a key to preventing tooth decay. Other good sources are milks, cheeses, yogurts and other dairy products. Just be mindful of added sugars, which can have the opposite effect on teeth.
Ancient Romans ate whole grains.
Whole grains are fiber rich, and along with fruits and vegetables, stimulate saliva production, which can decrease tooth decay. Also, whole grains are high in B vitamins and iron, which can help keep gums healthy.
Ancient Romans drank fluoridated water.
Archaeologists found that the water that supplied Pompeii was likely high in fluoride. Modern day fluoride treatments help make teeth more resistant to the attacks of plaque, bacteria, and sugars in the mouth. Make sure you follow your dentist's prescribed fluoride routine.
In general, Americans have a lot to learn from a healthy Roman or Mediterranean diet, and it can have a surprisingly positive effect on your oral health. Ballinger Family Dentistry is a family dentist in Edmond OK that is committed to helping your family maintain excellent oral health.
