Miracles is C. S. Lewis' classic book in defense of miracles. If a skeptic reads this book in order to see how well the author can wriggle around semantics and play with historical fuzziness he will be disappointed. And, if he thinks that Lewis will stop with simply stating his case that miracles can happen, he will be shocked to find that Lewis puts together an argument that supports the fact that miracles must happen. Lewis' explanations are not for the light reader though. He relies heavily on sophisticated philosophical thought and assumes readers are very familiar with authors such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Hume, Hobbes, and so on. If the reader can keep up with the heady reasoning (I'm not at all sure that I did) then this book is full of rich and detailed discussions concerning much more than just simple stage magician type tricks that some like to call miracles.

Mariel and her father, Joseph, are captured and tortured by the evil searat Gabool. After he throws Mariel to the ocean, leaving her for dead, she washes up on the shore near Redwall Abbey.

Today I released version 2.1 of Unregister. The Unregister component allows for users on a Joomla site to unregister themselves. For more information about the Unregister component see the intial release posting. The latest version of Unregister fixes two bugs:
- It removes the dependency on register globals being turned on. For security reasons Joomla recommends that register globals be turned off. Up until this release Unregister would not work properly when this setting was off.
- Some malformed HTML in the unregister form was causing Unregister with some browsers on some sites to fail. The HTML has been cleaned up.

Most of the time my sweetie and I go here when its just the two of us. If you want to bring your kids, as we have just twice, I suggest you go on a week day to avoid a huge wait with hungry kids. Friday nights are pretty bad even for two because they don't do reservations. Why don't more restaurants do reservations??? Geesh. Anyway, their busyness is a good sign.

Unregister Component Released |
|
Written by Mike Noel

Sunday, 03 September 2006 |
The Unregister component is a Joomla plugin that allows users on a site to unregister themselves from that site. An associated module puts a link on the sidebar that gives users access to this component. After almost a year (yeah, it's pitiful) I have finally converted the code base over to the Joomla development environment and made a release under this system. There are no new features to the component but now that I have the new system setup I will soon be adding features that some users have requested. The component and module are available for download from the Unregister project page or go directly to the download page.

Adding Parameters To A URL in PHP |

This article shows how to add query parameters to a URL in a php script. It is aimed at the beginner to intermediate level PHP programmer but developers from other languages may find some useful information here. At first this seems like a simple enough task. Starting with the url as a string, just add the new parameters to the end. Yeah, that would be nice. It turns out that there are a few conditions that make the process just a bit more difficult. It's still not a hard problem but there are enough special cases to make it interesting.

TGIFridays (the Happy Valley location in Phoenix, Arizona) would be better if it was renamed To Get It Free. That's probably the only way I would choose to eat there. Most of the staff are young and don't want to be there or they are old and really don't want to be there.

For starters, my kids call this place Red Robin Hood and they always ask to go there. If you happen to go to the Happy Valley location in Phoenix, Arizona ask to sit at Gregg's table (Gregg with three g's). That best waiter ever. He read my mind and brought us refills and extra napkins before we even had to ask.

 Plumb simply gets better and better. With the fourth release, Chaotic Resolve, Plumb shows that the artistic well hasn't yet dried up. This new release maintains the same pop/rock style that has been a mainstay with Plumb's last few albums for most of the songs but there are a couple experiments that break out of that mold. Lyrically she addresses many of the areas that she explored in Beautiful Lumps Of Coal. In particular she takes a penetrating look at troubled family relationships and self-esteem issues. The whole CD is solid and engaging but there are a few standouts that make Chaotic Resolve arguably Plumb's best release yet.
