ListingPress is a powerful listing search platform. It comes in form of real estate theme by default.
The theme has a listing search API built in so that you can customize search filters via a child theme to fit different niche, such as car dealership as an example.
ListingPress packs a functionality of industry-leading real estate websites wrapped with a better, more user friendly and responsive design.
Real estate live search
Custom developed AJAX search system will let you filter listings by multiple taxonomies and listing meta fields, all this while instantly displaying results for great user experience. You won't find more polished real estate search system on ThemeForest! Mobile and touch optimized
Great deal of attention has been payed to overall user experience, especially on mobile platforms. Real estate search with ListingPress feels almost like using a native app on smartphone devices. In addition to that, ListingPress is entirely retina-ready. Not only icons and layout have been optimized for hidpi devices, but also media assets will be displayed in high resolution.
Real estate features:
- live listing search via AJAX
- simplified home search for streamlined user experience
- grid, list and map views for advanced search
- property location autocomplete
- for sale / sold listing statuses
- default filters: price, status, location, type, property features, baths, beds, listing activity
- advanced search form will remember your latest search
- ability to save and load searches on listing browser pages
- agent contact form on single listing pages
- custom real estate icons set
- custom listing widget with touch optimized slider
- call to action area and featured listings slider on home page
- beautiful agent profiles
- multiple agents
- currency symbol, price format, price slider ranges (and more) can be customized in theme options
The real estate aspect of ListingPress is just the beginning. You can easily customize listing search filters in your child theme. Please read Customizing listing search form article in Orbital Themes Knowledgebase to learn more.
Each search filter that you add will have exactly the same functionality as in the default real estate version of the theme. You can add select, multiselect, autocomplete (home search only), radio and checkbox fields for every taxonomy attached to your listing post type, as well as range (min-max) and text fields for listing meta data (custom fields).
There is also an option to change a post type to which the search filters apply. This will, among others, enable you to use ListingPress as search system for eCommerce website. Please remember that you will still have to make appropriate changes to actual templates in your child theme in order to display your, let's say, shop products properly. Please read the above descriptions carefully before purchasing
If you have any pre-sales question – don't hesitate to ask in the item comments section. This way you will be sure that what you buy is what you think you buy. Item support
Please contact me via contact form on my profile page to get support for ListingPress theme.
Please be aware that I do not provide item customization services for free. Feature requests

Tropical Blue Green Eyes
How was your weekend? It was an exhausting but fun one filled with makeup gigs. I'm excited about how everything turned out. The Indian wedding makeup I did Saturday turned out lovely. We did a smokey blue eye using silvers from the MAC Holiday smokey eye palette and deep truth e/s from MAC. This coordinated beautifully with her Sari. Saturday night, the Makeup Bar was awesome! My assistant Joy and I made over 15 women and they all looked fab! Talk about instant transformations! The shoot on Sunday was also great. I ended up doing a smokey eye look per the photographer's request. This week I'm planning on doing the more creative type makeup. Thanks for your suggestions!
I finally uploaded my tutorial from my Manish Arora dupeable look. I got a bunch of requests to do this look after my A-Design brushes video. I pretty much decided to create the look when I missed out on the limited edition Manish Arora collection from MAC. As you can see, you don't need the products to create a bright and fun look.
You know that blues and greens are my favorite. Hope you enjoy!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise stated):
-bare study paint pot
-nylon e/s
-lime e/s
-clarity e/s
-deep truth e/s
-Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-feline kohl power pencil
-ardell falsies
-Smashbox iconic mascara
-CRC orange blush
-lychee luxe lipglass
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

"Look's like God's put that intern in charge of famous deaths again. The one who hates genius. "
Giving Back
BJT readers—who represent one of the highest-net-worth magazine audiences anywhere—clearly have the means to contribute to a better world. To help you do that, we're spotlighting one deserving organization per issue. All of them have received a four-star overall rating from Charity Navigator, which evaluates philanthropic institutions based on their finances, accountability and transparency.
In this era of information-overload, it's perhaps as astonishing as it is sad that approximately 30 million Americans and one billion people worldwide have never even learned to read or write. Here, we spotlight two U.S.-based literacy organizations that are making a difference, one person at a time.
Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., in Washington, D.C., prepares and motivates children to read by delivering books and literacy resources to the kids and families who need them most. Through volunteers in every state and U.S. territory, RIF provides 4.5 million children with 16 million books and literacy resources each year. All RIF programs combine three essential elements to foster children's literacy: reading motivation, family and community involvement and the excitement of choosing free books to keep.
Palm Beach County Literacy Coalition works to ensure that every child and adult in Palm Beach County, Florida, becomes a reader. The group manages a literacy hotline, referring adults to programs throughout the county where they can receive the help they need. In addition, an outreach program recruits and trains volunteer tutors to serve adult learners at numerous community locations.

Sonic Beatings in BostonPosted by Jerry Bowles in Classical Music, Concerts, Experimental Music, Music Events
Should you find yourself in the vicinity of Williams Hall at the New England Conservatory tonight at 8:30, the Callithumpian Consort is playing Alvin Lucier's Small Waves for string quartet, piano, trombone, and feedback, an hour long investigation/hallucination of microtones, sonic beatings, and water pouring. (Sounds like your tax dollars at work on a normal day at a CIA detention camp.)
Survivors of the water pouring and sonic beatings will then get to hear John Luther Adams' Strange Birds Passing for 8 flutes and …And Bells Remembered for 5 percussion
Alvin Lucier will be present to explain himself.

McALLEN - Sara Elicia Garza, 56, and Valerie Jean Flores 39, both of Mission, have been sentenced to federal prison for conspiring to defraud the Texas Medicaid/Vendor Drug program, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today along with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. Garza was a pharmacist and the owner and operator of Sara's Pharmacy and Gift Corner and employed Flores as a senior pharmacist technician. The pharmacy closed on or about Oct. 28, 2011.
Garza and Flores were charged with conspiring to defraud the Texas Medicaid/Vendor Drug program and other health care offenses. Both pleaded guilty at a hearing before U.S. District Judge Randy Crane to conspiring to commit health care fraud.
Today, Judge Crane ordered Garza to spend 24 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, followed by three years of supervised release. Garza was also ordered to pay restitution of $440,708.42 to the Texas Medicaid/Vendor Drug program, Medicare, Humana, Caremark and Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Garza has paid already the sum of$437,000 toward the restitution she was ordered to pay. Flores was sentenced to 18 months in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons also followed by three years of supervised release.
In July 2011, agents from the FBI and the Texas Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit executed a federal search warrant and seized documents and computers at Sarah's Pharmacy and Gift Store.
Garza admitted she participated in the conspiracy to defraud the Texas Medicaid/Vendor Drug program by submitting false and fraudulent claims for prescription medication that was not dispensed or provided. Specifically, Garza admitted the claims were false and fraudulent for one or more of a variety of reasons - 1) medications were never provided or dispensed, 2) the beneficiary had never seen the physician purporting to prescribe the medication, 3) prescription medications were written for the treatment of medical conditions that the beneficiary did not have, 4) claims were for refills of prescription medications authorized by a physician but which the beneficiary did not request and did not receive, 5) the prescription medications were never dispensed to beneficiaries but were billed (referred to as running extras by Garza and her co-conspirators) in lieu of collecting co-pay for prescriptions that were actually dispensed or in lieu of collecting money for purchases from the Sara's Pharmacy Gift Store.
Garza also admitted that to cover up the fraud and conspiracy she and Flores, along with other unindicted co-conspirators, forged prescriptions, doctors' signatures on prescriptions, patients' signatures on logs that purportedly indicated that a customer beneficiary had received medications and altered pharmacy records.
At her plea hearing, Flores admitted she participated in the conspiracy to defraud the Texas Medicaid/Vendor Drug program by submitting false and fraudulent claims for prescription medication that was not dispensed or provided and to her role in the cover-up.
Judge Crane allowed the women to remain on bond and voluntarily surrender to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons where they will begin serving their sentences.
The investigation leading to the charges in this case was conducted by the FBI and the Texas Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Casey N. MacDonald and Special Assistant United States Attorney Rex G. Beasley prosecuted the case.

Worry is a common temptation for all of us. The source of the anxiety might vary from person to person, but no one is completely immune. For some, it's even a favorite pastime, occupying large portions of their days by troubling over their doubts and fears about the future.
Obsessing over those doubts and fears shows blatant distrust for God's power and His love. It essentially says, "God, I know You mean well by what You say, but I'm not sure You can pull it off." It's one thing to doubt a future decision or outcome—it's another thing entirely to doubt the Lord. But in spite of its lack of subtlety, worry is a sin we fall into easily and often.
What's more, it's a sin that cruelly inflicts a severe toll on the sinner. The word worry comes from the Old English term wyrgan, which means "to choke" or "strangle." Anyone who has dealt with serious anxiety knows that's the exact impact it has in your life. It strangles your mind.
There are also physical repercussions. We've already talked about panic attacks, but even less-severe anxiety can have a negative impact on your health. Excessive worry causes some people to eat too much—others don't eat well or enough when they're locked in the grip of anxiety. In general, worry tends to interrupt most healthy patterns. Worriers get less exercise, less sunlight, and less interaction with other people as they withdraw into cocoons of anxiety.
Worst of all, worry does significant damage to your spiritual usefulness. As you read through the Scriptures, you see over and over that God wants His children preoccupied with Him, not with the mundane, passing things of this world. His command is clear: "Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth" (Colossians 3:2).
That includes even basic necessities. In our society, most people don't need to worry about their ability to find water or food on a daily basis. But those were present realities and concerns in the world of the New Testament, and Jesus' teaching was clear that even those essential needs were not an excuse for anxiety (Matthew 6:25).
Today, people's concerns and fears regarding those basic necessities are manifest in different ways—mostly in stockpiling. Some people stockpile food and water; others, money. But regardless of the object, the act of stockpiling is basically an attempt to determine one's own destiny apart from faith and trust in God.
Even Christians can make that mistake. It wasn't much more than a decade ago that many believers and even entire congregations were selling off their property and possessions and moving to bunkers in rural parts of the country in preparation for the impending Y2K disaster. That kind of myopic, obsessive anxiety about the future cripples your spiritual growth and stifles your usefulness to the Lord.
That's not to say we shouldn't make any preparation for the future. Believers are commanded to be financially responsible and care for their families (1 Timothy 5:8). Scripture does not imply that having a savings account, investing extra money, or owning insurance shows a lack of trust in God. Such provisions from the Lord are reasonable safeguards for the average person in any complex, modern society.
However, preparing for the future ought to be balanced with Jesus' command to "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33) and to "lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven" (Matthew 6:20). We are not to lavish on ourselves what God has given us for the accomplishment of His holy purposes.
I believe in wise planning, but if after doing all you are able to, you still are fearful of the future, the Lord says, "Don't worry." He promised to provide all your needs, and He will: "My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). That is His concern, not yours.
(Adapted from Anxious for Nothing.)

Just a few weeks ago I was asked to teach on the sinfulness of worry and used many of your studies on this and related topics as my prep material. I was asked because I am a recovering and Repentive worrier. The most impact for me was the fact of the obvious sinful distrust of God's teachings and that worrying belittles Gods power .... so shameful when you become aware of this and cannot help but fall on your knees daily and confess and repent and work on a even more intimate relationship with him... to strenghten the bond and leave no room for worry...
Thank you for being straight forward with the truth... the only way to go ....

So worrying is a sin? I know there are verses that talk about worrying or being anxious but is there a verse or verses that talk about it specifically being sin? I really like to back everything up with scripture so that it is not just my opinion but biblical fact.

For Paul Schirmer: I wouldn't get locked into looking specifically for the word "sin" in Scripture to denote worry as such. It is implicit enough without having to be so explicit that the "exact" word needs to be used. I have a strong feeling that you already know that. Nonetheless, here are some additional verses and their "exact" subtitles for you, which I took from my cyclopedic index, as they appear in my NKJ's Bible.
Worry chokes the Word, Matt, 13: 7 and 22.
Worry gluts the soul, Luke, 21:34
Worry obstructs the Gospel, Luke, 14: 18 - 20.
Worry hinders God's work, 2 Tim, 2:4
Worry manifests unbelief, Matt, 6:25-32.
No doubt, anything that produces such results can easily be labeled a "form" of sin. Again, I think you already know this, and your question is more rhetorical than substantial, if I may be so bold to guess. God bless, and please don't "worry" that the word "sin" is not used in a "direct" fashion. Smile.
I have to tell you, John, that my single greatest worry is having failed my mom. My stepfather led (I strongly think) her away from Christ, and when I had the opportunity to witness to her, I did not.
I was so wrapped up (a miserably poor excuse) in providing health care for her, that I did not mention Christ, or ask her about her "current" position concerning Him. Here I am a Christian, and I failed to do that! Paul and David and Peter's failures cannot come close to mine. Now I must wait to get to Heaven to see if she is there. The anguish and distress I suffer for this failure cannot be measured in human words. May God have mercy on her and me.
I have recently listened to your sermons on joy, but how can I expect to have any whatsoever, after such a failure? I feel there is no comfort for me, and my shame is unending. I suppose this post will never see your eyes, but if it should, any good words that you may have will be helpful. I just advised a fellow Christian why worry is considered a sin, yet I have no answer for my own.

Oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of one or both of a woman's ovaries. On occasion it can also be referred to as ovariectomy, although this is most commonly used in scientific research about surgical ovary removal in laboratory animals.
Although removing the ovaries is the biological equivalent to the castration of a male, this term is rarely used in medical literature.
The complete removal of ovaries, oviducts and uterine horns in animals is referred to as spaying in veterinary sciences. This is often used as a form of sterilization in animals, although is a significantly less common practice on humans as a form of birth control.
In practice, the most common reasons for an oophorectomy to be performed are:
Particularly when surgery is used as prophylaxis against ovarian or breast cancer, it is important to weigh up the possible benefits of preventing the disease to the risks that the surgery may present. In general, only women who are at a particularly high risk of ovarian or breast cancer should be considered for prophylactic oophorectomy.
Also known as ovariotomy, this involves the removal or resection of parts of the ovaries. This type of surgery is often used for cysts in the ovaries that need to be removed.
This surgical procedure is fertility preserving in theory, however it is relatively frequent for women who undertake a partial oophorectomy to suffer from ovarian failure.
The long-term risks that are associated with complete removal of the ovaries are less pronounced in the partial procedure. As a result, the intention of the woman to bear children in the future should be considered when deciding whether surgery is the right option.
When an ovary and the Fallopian tube are removed together, the procedure is referred to as salpingo-oophorectomy. This can take place either on one side or on both, known as unilateral or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy respectively.
Whilst this procedure has the potential to provide an option of birth control in humans, it is not commonly used in practice, as tubal litigation is the preferred method. This involves blocking of the Fallopian tubes to inhibit ovulation and leaving the ovaries intact.
Each woman has a unique medical history and the most likely benefits and risks of an oophorectomy are different.
For some women, the benefits far outweigh the risks, such as when there is a malignant cyst in the ovaries. Additionally, for women with a high risk of breast or ovarian cancer due to a strong family history or if they carry the high-risk BRCA gene mutation an oophorectomy may prove beneficial.
However, this is not the case for all women and the individual characteristics of each woman should be considered before a recommendation is made. This is largely because there are serious risks associated with the removal of the ovaries.
The risks are mainly associated with the woman's sudden loss of the ability to produce the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. This launches the woman into surgical menopause, with more sudden and pronounced symptoms. In addition, women without ovaries are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and overall mortality.
Oophorectomy is a surgery that offers some women a great solution to remove and prevent cancer of the breast and ovaries. However, not all women are at a great risk of these cancers and unnecessary surgery can cause more harm than good.

I love to dance. After spending my work week plugged into screens, headphones, and all things Microsoft Outlook, I seek spirit and solace in movement. Most Saturdays you'll find me sweating it out at an African dance class in downtown Minneapolis.
In April I traveled to the Pacific Northwest to participate in a weekend-long improvisational dance workshop on Vashon Island, near Seattle. To call it a dance workshop is actually something of a misnomer. I and my fellow improvisers weren't there to perfect our dance technique. Our charge was to learn to listen without fear — or put differently, to practice the art of "creative listening" which is to pay attention to whatever is happening in the present moment of an unscripted dance. I think that Jon Kabat-Zinn would give it a thumb's up.
I was so jazzed by the experience of the workshop that a few days after I got back I decided to interview one of the facilitators, dance veteran Chery Cutler. In a book she co-authored, Creative Listening: Overcoming Fear in Life & Work, Chery describes creative listening as "learning to quiet fear and listen three-dimensionally — to one's own inner voice, to others, and to the environment…"
Slight in stature but super-sized in spirit, Chery is now retired from Wesleyan University where she founded the dance department and worked as a professor for over three decades. She recently told me that past SOF guest Majora Carter took her class back in the day.
So much of what Chery says about improvisation and creative listening echoes the conversations we've been having as part of our Repossessing Virtue project. She calls this moment of economic collapse "an extremely exciting time" that has the potential to unleash creativity if we can just stop, listen, and resist the urge to willfully dance to the beat of our pesky fear-driven agendas.
We recently wrapped production on Living Differently, Beyond Economic Crisis — the latest installment in our Repossessing Virtue series. This program features the reflections of eight SOF listeners and scores of others online. Soon we'll be posting more audio interviews to fatten the growing RV archive. I think this conversation with Chery makes for a nice addition to this growing chorus of voices. Let me know what you think.
[I've included a picture of my fellow creative listening improvisers here. As the lone Minnesota representative, I'm the only one wearing a coat — not quite fully trusting that it's safe to venture outside without a down-filled garment. Chery is the one crouched in front, smiling broadly and wearing a black hoodie.]

TRAINING LEVEL: Intermediate
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 1 Maximum: 1
This training was developed by the Transportation Curriculum Coordination Council (TCCC) in partnership with State DOT personnel. It helps transportation professionals involved in the installation, inspection, and quality of pipe on highway construction projects improve their understanding of the factors that contribute to high-quality installations. The training was prepared by State DOT personnel for State DOT personnel. It contains good practices from various agencies. Each State agency/company has their own specifications, which the viewer needs to review and follow for the specified pipe. This course is primarily intended for inspectors and technicians.
This course is focused on the three basic pipe materials. They are Concrete, Metal, and Plastic. This course contains important instructional material, procedures and guidance that has been developed to maintain uniformity among pipe inspectors. This course will cover what you need to know, do, and look for during the inspection of pipe installation.
This training is directed toward the intermediate level technician, to give them an in-depth view of the basic materials used in pipe construction. The course modules will address the different types of pipe as well as the foundation work, bedding selection, placement, joint sealants, backfilling and documentation for concrete, metal and plastic pipe.
NHI is hosting this and other TCCC Web-based developments to serve a critical need for training.

Topic: ActiveRecord Serialize and Performance
I am trying to serialize a relatively large array (about 400 items, with each item being a hash) to a database record. This operation never completes - I tried replacing the the object with a dummy small hash and it goes through fine. Is there a size limit to the size of an objec that can be serialized?
This whole problem arose because I need to persist a large list over multiple requests (the list is the result of a very expensive operation on multiple XML files). This object is way too big for session, and I though it would be easy to retrieve from an ActiveRecord serialized property.
As far as I've been digging, there is no other space (i.e. ServletContext or ApplicationContext in java world) to store an object like this?
Am I approaching the problem wrong? Are there some best practices to follow here?
Thanks in advance,

I think he called it a little too soon but...
Rejoice ever more. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
I think he called it too soon as well. That being said... Kos's head was so up there in the air and he wasn't getting up that if he did let it continue with Robbie pounding on him like that, it would have been stopped a little later I do believe.
Josh Koscheck vs. Robbie Lawler
Round 1:
Herb Dean is your referee for this welterweight fight. Lawler catches Koscheck with a right hand the first time he comes in. Koscheck shoots for a single leg and gets a takedown. He pushes Lawler toward the fence, tries to transition to side control, but Lawler spins out. Koscheck grabs a headlock and Lawler stays in the one-knee-down no knee to the head zone. Lawler gets to his feet, but Koscheck bodylocks him and takes him back down. Lawler again tries to scramble up, Koscheck briefly gets his back, but they end up back on the mat again. Lawler breaks free, tries to get up, and eats a right to the jaw. Standing with two minutes left, Koscheck continues to bodylock Lawler against the fence. Crowd gets a little restless. This time, though, Lawler lands a knee and Koscheck ends up on his hands and knees. And just like that, Lawler lands a big right hand, lands about a half-dozen punches and Dean calls a stop to the fight. Koscheck doesnt look happy it was stopped.
Robbie Lawler def. Josh Koscheck at via TKO at 3:57 of round one.
Rejoice ever more. 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Court McGee vs. Josh Neer
Round 1:
John McCarthy is the referee for this welterweight fight. McGee more active in the early going, mixing up punches and kicks, but Neer catches his attention with a sharp right hand. McGee backs up Neer with a four-punch combo. Neer answers with a two-punch combo of his own. McGee's jab is finding a home. McGee knocks him backwards with a left. Neer covers up. A back-and-forth boxing match, McGree throws more, but when Neer connects he's landing square. McGee with a low kick. Lots of head movement by McGee, while Neer is pretty much just moving straight forward. A bunch of big uppercuts inside by McGee. Neer is running backwards. McGee drops him and continues to pour it on. McGree slows a bit, Neer tries to get back to his feet. Very impressive round for Court McGee.
Round 2:
Neer checks a McGee head kick, but McGee lands a solid leg kick. Neer misses with a wild right. McGee is all motion. One minute in and they clinch along the fence. Neer escapes, but McGee catches up with him and tags him. Back to center octagon. Midway through the round, McGee's output is slowing a bit, and Neer connects on both ends of a solid combo. Neer lands an uppercut. They clinch and Neer lands a knee. McGee is back to his high output of punches, which have bloodied Neer around his nose. One minute left. Neer is trying to push through McGee's relentless output. Neer connects on a knee late. Closer round, but still McGee's.
Round 3:
More of the same to start round three. Neer's talking to McGee as they trade punches. They end up with Neer with his back to the fence, McGee throwing right hands that aren't doing much damage. Neer bulls his way out and we're back in the middle of the cage. Neer hits the mat and ends up on his hands and knees, but is soon back to his feet. McGee bodylocks him against the cage, switches levels, but McGee ends up with the takedown. He lands a couple elbows before McGee tightens up his guard. Ninety seconds left. McGee stands, lands a series of left hands, Neer spins out, and McGee tries to take his back. Final minute. McGee working for a choke, but doesn't quite get it. McGee stands again. Raining down punches. The fight ends, should be 30-27, though conceivably Neer may have taken the second round.
Court McGee defeated Josh Neer via unanimous decision (30-27 x3).
Rejoice ever more. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
Neer has got to give it up...he's got the shoulders of a trout! On another note, WAR ROBBIE!!
Urijah Faber vs. Ivan Menjivar
Round 1:
Jason Herzog is your referee for this bantamweight fight. They touch gloves. Faber pushes forward, but walks right into an impressive judo throw. Faber manages to work his way into side control. A big "Faber" chant tears through the crowd. Faber tries to transition into a mount and lands a couple elbows. Faber postures up, Menjivar is reaching for an armbar, doesn't get it, and Faber is back in Menjivar's guard. Midway through the round. Faber's occasional elbows are connecting. Now they're becoming more than just occasional. Faber stands, Menjivar is throwing upkicks and lands a couple to his torso. Faber's back in Menjivar's guard. Menjivar gets to his feet, but Faber gets his back and sinks in a rear-naked choke. Menjivar taps to a huge reaction from the crowd.

"Arena: Produced by George Martin" documentary on BBC2
Anyone in the UK watch the BBC2 documentary called "Arena: Produced by George Martin"? What did you think of it? Were there any new surprises or facts revealed? I read that Paul McCartney and Michael Palin were in it.
I'm not sure if we will be seeing it anytime soon in America or at all. Hopefully, BBC America or PBS might pick it up and air it in the months to come. Or someone may upload it to YouTube.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Sept. 29, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team lost to Brazil 25-22, 25-20, 18-25, 25-20 on Wednesday evening at Londrina, Brazil. The match concluded a 10-day, four friendly exhibition tour of Brazil.
Brazil, which won all four exhibitions on the tour, is currently ranked No. 1 by the FIVB in the world ranking, while the U.S. moved up two spots to No. 2 after claiming the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix last month. During the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round, Team USA edged Brazil in a hard-fought five-set match as it went on to win the gold medal without dropping a match.
Both teams are using the friendly scrimmages as a chance to evaluate and fine tune their lineups for the upcoming FIVB World Championship, which takes place Oct. 29 to Nov. 14 in Japan.
Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) led the Americans with 17 points on 13 kills and four blocks. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) chipped in seven kills and match-high six blocks for 13 points. Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) contributed seven kills on 14 attacks, three blocks and an ace for 11 points. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) tacked on nine kills and a block for 10 points. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) collected eight points in the loss. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) provided the Americans three points, followed by two points from Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) and one point by Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.).
Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) tallied a U.S.-high 13 digs in the match as Brazil held a slim 48-46 team advantage in the category. Brazil converted 38 percent of its attacks into points and held a slim 50-47 margin in kills. Brazil held a sizeable 9-3 margin in aces to make up for Team USA's 15-11 advantage in blocks.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) started Spicer at setter, Metcalf at opposite, Barboza and Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) at outside hitter and Akinradewo and Tamas at middle blocker. Sykora was the libero for match. Hooker started in place of Metcalf the final three sets. Larson and Hodge started the final three sets in place of Barboza of Kim Glass. Spicer was inserted as a reserve in the final three sets, while Metcalf came off the bench in the second and third sets.
Natalia paced Brazil with 18 points, while Joyce added 15 points including four aces in the victory.
The U.S. and Brazil have been benefited from recent friendly scrimmages against one another. In making final preparations for the 2008 FIVB World Grand Prix and 2008 Olympic Games, Brazil played three friendly exhibition matches against the U.S. in Colorado Springs in June 2008, winning two of the three contests.

Ah, Big Data, the old IT bandwagon rides again eh? Who's with me? Yeah, you and every other IT consultancy in town.
The thing is, beyond the hyperbole (and of course the ridiculous notion that data can be big or small or even mid-sized) incredible things are beginning to happen with data that affect the products and services we use, how we innovate and even how we understand the world around us.
More and more we are using big data services to help us in our personal lives, they recommend our purchases, answer our search queries, even translate our languages and every day, through the beauty and wonder that is machine learning, they get _better_.
Having access to more and more data, combined with technological advances like the cloud which provide seemingly limitless storage and compute power we are able, finally to start to harness the incredible power and potential it offers not just society at a broad level or just to huge organisations like Microsoft, Google and Facebook but we also start to get to a point where that power becomes accessible to every individual and every single business.
As with all such major advancements, we'll face our fair share of challenges too; some will be technical – we're still looking for the needle, but now it's in a billion haystacks, some will be cultural – how do you ensure that data is accessible and of sufficient quality? And some will be just plain hard – like in a world of data and machine learning, what happens when the algorithms take over?
As it turns out, bandwagon or no, big data is crucial to our respective success. Don't believe me? Well, why not waste 30 minutes of your life listening to me trying to convince you. This is a presentation I gave at this year's Turing Festival trying to make exactly that point. (You can also download the slides here).
Like it or not, the world of big data is here – it is now up to us to figure out how to make best use of it.
(n.b. Thanks and appropriate respect go to both GetAmbition and Interactive Scotland for both organising the event and creating video and supporting collateral).

Republicans unveil changes to mining bill
Senate, Assembly committees to meet Wednesday on bill
MADISON, Wis. - Republican backers of a bill to make it easier to open a new iron ore mine in northern Wisconsin said changes to their proposal will better protect the environment by taking into account concerns raised by Democrats and others.
But Democrats balked at the changes announced Monday, calling them "baby steps" that don't do enough to protect the state's water and other natural resources.
Democratic Sen. Tim Cullen watched the news conference and said afterward the changes made the proposal slightly better, but there was a long way to go.
One change calls for the state to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers related to issues including the timeline of permitting a mine.
Senate and Assembly committees are scheduled to meet simultaneously on Wednesday to vote on advancing the bill.
Democrats have offered their own proposal that differs from the Republican version in several ways, including extending the time allowed for the Department of Natural Resources to make a decision on issuing a permit for a new mine.
Republicans are trying to pass the measure quickly to help Gogebic Taconite open the mine near Lake Superior. Opponents say there aren't enough environmental protections.

If authentic San Marzano tomatoes truly still exist, and are growing ever so sparingly out in that lauded volcanic soil, do you really believe that the Italian growers would let them leave their country. They have their own thriving pizza industry to supply, can they possibly be growing enough to meet their own demands and still export them to us? I remember reading something a long time ago about Italian olive oil, " they keep the good stuff for themself and export the crap". Do people still think that those highly prized San Marzano's would be any different?
I was looking at tomatoes today while shopping. Quite a few of the cans said "San Marzano Region" which leads me to believe those tomatoes are not truly SM tomatoes.
We use American versions of italian cheese and still call the pizza Neapolitan. Tomatoes should be no different. In my opinion comparing deviations in bake time to deviations in ingredient sources isn't even like apples and oranges, it's like apples and shoes.
If the flavor of the tomato is different to the point that it changes the soul of the pie, that's a different story - that's not making the best NP pie I can.
I hope all this talk about Sclafani's doesn't raise the price of them or cause then the same fate as Classico's. When I first started using them I could pick them up for $1.59, now the two sources I have for them charge $1.99 and $2.49! Why don't all you guys just stick with those San Marzano's that you like and leave my Sclafani's alone!
@XTCraig, I'll be anxious to here how you like the tomatoes, I know who sent them! Tell us about the other goodies also.
I tried them tonight on NP (pics will be up tomorrow hopefully). They are without a doubt one of the finest tomatoes I've ever tasted. Deep tomato flavor and color and sweet as candy. I added about 1/2 cup of water to the can (it was too thick for my taste) and you couldn't even tell a difference in the flavor or sweetness. I thought it would be too rich and not acid enough for NP, but it was really good. The whole family liked them. The main comment was "you could taste it more - more tomato flavor." The one thing I don't like at all is the skin bits.I'll probably stick with the Cento Italian for NP - mainly because of the skin thing, but as far as crushed tomatoes go, the Sclafani are the best I've tasted.
I've tried the whole tomatoes and didn't find them to be as good as the crushed, I also did the same thing (another thread) with Classico's whole and they too were not as good as either their ground or crushed. The best whole tomatoes I have found are Stanislaus Alta Cucina's. Hey Chicago Bob, I think you're on the wrong website, believe it or not, there are two tomato companies named Sclafani. The one we're talking about is from NJ and sells domestic tomatoes, it is now owned by B&G Foods. The other Sclafani, and the one you probably looked up, is in CT. and deals in Italian imports.
Glad you enjoyed the Sclafani tomatoes! I'm looking forward to seeing the pics. Does the family like cento or Sclafani better?
I'll probably stick with the Cento Italian for NP - mainly because of the skin thing, but as far as crushed tomatoes go, the Sclafani are the best I've tasted.
It's funny, I'm really sensitive to the texture of tomato skin, and avoided crushed tomatoes for the longest time because of it. I can't taste any skin whatsoever in the Sclafanis.If the skin bothers you but you like the taste, you can always food mill them. Food milling is majorly labor intensive, but, considering all the prep you do, I think your middle name is 'labor intensive.' Compare to the copious other amount of prep you typically perform, tomato milling should be a drop in the bucket.
Actually lately I've been trying to make pies that are less labor intensive.
The KitchenAid food mill/veggie strainer can really help streamline that step... Plus I use it for fresh tomatoes and dried chiles..https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004SGFK/?tag=pmak-20
Yes, but a food mill also eliminates any(good) chunkyness in the tomato; no?
Now 6 in 1's are another story, the ones you get from them by mail order are ground tomatoes with skin still on.

Gold medal figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi on being a role model for her daughters�and the world.
It's been more than 20 years since Kristi Yamaguchi skated�to the top of the Olympic podium at the 1992 Games in Albertville, France. �I haven�t watched the footage that often, but when I do, those emotions come back instantly,� she says. These days Kristi, 42, keeps busy with daughters Keara, 10, and Emma, 8; and her Always Dream Foundation. Still, she remains active in both the Olympic and figure skating communities. This month, she�ll travel to the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, where she�ll interview athletes and post social media updates at TeamUSA.org. The skaters to watch: the United States� own Ashley Wagner, Canada�s Patrick Chan, defending champion Yuna Kim of South Korea and Mao Asada of Japan. We spoke with the gold medalist about life (and fitness) after competition, raising healthy girls, and why she still hits the ice now and then. Spry: What�s your favorite memory from the Olympics? Kristi: My first practice on the Olympic rink, skating over the rings painted on the ice�it was pure elation. Obviously, standing on the�podium was a highlight! I remember trying to find my family in the audience. Also, the Opening Ceremonies�that�s when it hits you how incredible the Olympics are. You meet so many athletes who are the best in the world. Spry: Is it true you met your husband, Bret Hedican, there? Kristi: Yes, [1992 bronze medalist] Nancy Kerrigan and I met the U.S. men�s hockey team, which he was on, and took some pictures. Three years later, I met Bret and realized, �You were in those pictures!� Spry: What does it mean to be an Olympic champion�then and now? Kristi: It�s an honor to have been an Olympian, to represent the United States,�and you do feel that you�re out there as a role model. Initially, I was a little�intimidated and I didn�t know�how to handle it. But I think�you find your stride. You learn what�s important in your life and try to portray that, and be a positive message. Spry: Have you ever thought about what other Olympic sport you might try? Kristi: Probably track and field, because of my stamina. Doctors used to tell me I could be a marathoner, but I�ve never been a runner. Spry: How do you stay fit? Kristi: My younger daughter skates, so if I�m at the rink with her I�ll strap the skates on to get my heart rate going. No jumping, though! I also do weights, and the stationary bike or elliptical. Spry: After being a�competitive athlete, is it hard�to get motivated to work out�now that you�re not training? Kristi: Absolutely. My husband is a former pro hockey player, so we�re in the same boat. We try to encourage each other. It is hard when you don�t have a goal or specific benchmarks you�re trying to meet as an athlete, but I just feel better and have more energy when I do. Spry: Is there a healthy habit you�ve carried over from training? Kristi: Breakfast was always very important, because I did the bulk of my training in the morning. So my mom always made sure I didn�t start out on an empty stomach. I think it�s a meal that�s especially important for kids. Spry: Any favorite healthy snacks? Kristi: Fresh fruit. Hummus with cut-up vegetables. The kids like a banana boat, where you slice a banana down the middle and fill it with Greek yogurt or peanut butter, and then top it with cereal or nuts. Spry: What inspired you to start a children�s charity called the Always Dream Foundation? Kristi: I was inspired by the Make-a-Wish Foundation, who I worked with after the Olympics. The last two years, we�ve turned our focus onto early childhood literacy, launching�reading programs and bringing technology into 12 California schools.�With two kids in public school now, it hit close to home for me. Spry: Do you want Emma to follow in your footsteps as a competitive skater? Kristi: I try to keep the ball in her court. She approached me about skating more after we had both girls take group skate lessons. She�s been working with a coach for about two years now and practices twice a week. If she decides it�s her passion, of course I�ll support her. But it�s still just fun for her, and I�m OK with that, because I know what it takes. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

First, I wonder why did have this photoshoot in England? Second, she is still as pretty as she was when chosen "Sexiest woman of the year" some years ago. As for her being pregnant, it is best to get that out of the way while she is still in her childbearing age. Best of luck and good health to both her and the baby! Congrats Zoe for starting a real family of your own.

text: This native perennial plant is 3-6" tall. The individual leaves and flowering stems emerge directly from the rootstock. Each leaf is deeply divided into 3-5 palmate lobes, while a lobe may be further subdivided into 2-3 smaller lobes. The lobes are usually broader toward their tips than at the base of the leaf, and their tips may have 1 or 2 small teeth. A typical leaf is about 1" long and across (excluding the petiole). The petiole of each leaf is rather long and slender. The slender flowering stems are at least as long as the petioles; they are either green or purple. Each stem curves abruptly downward near the flower. The entire plant is hairless, or nearly so. The flowers have 5 petals and 5 sepals; they are ¾1½" across. The sepals are green, while the petals are lavender or violet. Usually the petals are the same color, although sometimes the upper two petals are deep violet, while the lower three petals are light lavender. Toward the throat of the flower, the lower petal is white with fine violet lines that function as nectar guides. There are no white hairs near the throat. The stamens are a conspicuous golden yellow. The blooming period is mid- to late spring, and this plant may bloom during the fall. There may be a mild floral scent in some local ecotypes. Unlike other violets, Birdfoot Violet does not produce cleistogamous flowers. The coppery seeds can be ejected several inches from the mother plant. There is a sugary gel on the seeds that attracts ants; these ants often carry these seeds to their nests. The root system consists of a tuberous caudex with long coarse roots. Sometimes rhizomes are produced, forming vegetative offsets.

Ditch the yelling with our easy guide
Stress-free picture hanging? Don�t laugh. It is totally possible. Learn how to hang a picture the right way and never haggle over the process again. It's so easy!
The right height is not too high. Yes, there is a correct height for picture hanging. It is called a standard, and it's basically the same height galleries use for their installations. If it is good enough for the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art, it is good enough for all of us. Never hang your pictures based on mood, your personal height, a guess or to align with the edges of another picture. Hang all pictures at 57 inches on center, and your entire home will be harmonious, with all the pictures making sense with one another. According to Apartment Therapy, on center refers to the center of the artwork or art work grouping�not the wall or anything else. The picture�s center should be exactly 57 inches from the floor.
Picture hanging steps. Gather all your supplies. You will need a level, a tape measure, a pencil and proper hanging hardware. Be sure the hardware you select is tough enough to handle the weight of your picture.
First, measure and lightly mark the spot on the wall that is 57 inches from the floor.
Next, measure from the top of your picture to the middle, or find the total picture height and divide by 2. If your picture is 20 inches tall, the middle is at 10 inches.
Measure from the top of your picture to the taut hanging wire on the back of the picture. For argument�s sake, let's say this is 2 inches.
Subtract the wire measurement of 2 inches from the picture center measurement of 10 inches, or 8 inches, to tell you how far above 57 inches your hook should go.
Measure up from 57 inches with this last amount and lightly mark on the wall. In this example, the second mark will be at 65 inches, or 8 inches plus 57 inches.
Tap your picture fastener into the wall with a hammer. Keep your eye on the wall, not your finger, or you will smash your digit.
Place the picture on the wall and level it with a small level so there�s no dispute. Or, you can check out the app for that.

How Iconic Ads Changed America
Even when elbow-deep in musty archives in leaky basements, School of Communication assistant professor Wendy Melillo had fun researching her new book, How McGruff and the Crying Indian Changed America: A History of Iconic Ad Council Campaigns, out this September.
Her deep interest in public service advertising (PSA) campaigns led Melillo to write her new book, which details how some of the Ad Council's PSAs became part of the national conversation and changed society. Adding to the campaigns referenced in the title, the book includes chapters on the Ad Council's most famous characters such as Smokey Bear and Rosie the Riveter.
"I want to analyze the organizations the public knows very little about," Melillo said. "I was always fascinated by the Ad Council, and I wanted to know how it operated behind the scenes. I covered this organization for years, and I really thought I knew it, but I didn't."
Beginning as a propaganda arm of the Roosevelt administration in 1942, the Ad Council evolved and took on important issues to America throughout the 20th century. The book discusses challenges to and influences on those campaigns by the media, government, and business itself, all in the context of pivotal moments in U.S. history.
Melillo's background as a journalist contributed to the clear and unabashed writing in the book. She wrote the book in this style to attract a wider audience, including younger generations of digital natives. As a testament to the Ad Council's rich history, Melillo felt it was vital to use the print medium as the book's primary method of communication.
Melillo's career as an investigator hasn't stopped during her time at SOC. The former Washington Post writer and D.C. bureau chief for Adweek, never knew what little-known stories about an organization she might uncover when she opened dusty boxes full of old and fragile documents.
"You know it when you see it," she said. "I was looking for the stories that were paradoxical, or that sparked curiosity." This curiosity led her to, in her words, "reach in and discover a mystery no one knew about."
For this book, she fused her journalist's investigative skills with a more methodical and time-intensive approach, cultivated in academia, for what she felt gave the strongest possible edge to the book's research.
"It was only after spending time at six different archives around the country and exploring what the academic literature said did a clearer picture of the Ad Council emerge," Melillo said. "Working journalists on deadline will look at what other mainstream publications have written about an organization, but they rarely have the time to do this more extensive type of research."

2:50 Topic for the day. "What do you do if your metamour is hurting your partner"
5:50 this topic was brought up by Maverick when he called in with his comments. He commented that his rage became "all consuming" if his partner is being hurt. This caused Minx some disturbance and she suggested a therapist. However, wow on the responses to this advice.
6:45 Maverick calls in and apologizes about his comments and says he is not somebody to raise his hand in anger and thanks Minx for her comments.
10:07 a caller called in to talk about this subject. He felt Minx missed the point of the call and noted that he also has felt a "reverse-frubble" when something bad is happening to his partner/partners/metamours
12:10 Mike called in and was a bit offended. He felt Minx invalidated Maverick's feelings out of her own fear.
14:30 Minx brings up that when you are comforting your partner resist the urge to say "that <blank> was always an asshole>
15:50 Sam wrote in and felt that Maverick took a risk to expose his anger and feelings and was a bit offended by Minx's response.
18:20 Minx discusses more ways of dealing with this "anti-frubble" feeling.
19:50 The next part of the show is feedback on episode #166
19:57 Muskrat calls in about episode 166 and points out tha everybody should be aware of the possible discomfort in others. He also mentions PDA also depends on settings.
24:40 Minx brings up some really good points on this especially from the perpsective of the new person/secondary.
26:14 Wolfpeach wrote in and loved the rant about the word "OK."
28:24 Rob from Australia called in and suggested using "chapter marks" in the podcast. Unfortunately, that requires saving the file in a format that is not supported by anything but Mac.
- www.genderodyssey.com
- Poly Weekly Dragon*Con Meetup is Gordon Biersch Brewpub, Sunday Aug 31, 11:30 a.m.
- Minx will be speaking at Dragon*Con on building community through podcasting/social media on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and on the Sex/Adult blogger/podcaster panel Saturday at 10:00 p.m.
Topic: Quit hurting my partner
A redux of Maverick's question from Poly Weekly 166, how do you deal with getting really angry when your partner is hurt emotionally by her metamour?
Feedback: PW 166, dealing with PDA by metamours

Topic: display image in layout [solved]
Greetings all
I have a layout for my app. It was created by Rails when the app was created. I want to display a banner-image at the top of my page. I created a div in the body tag to hold my image.

I have my image in the public/images/ directory. When I view a page in my browser I get a broken-image. On inspection, the path seen by the browser is:
I'm assuming the path should be: (??)
How should code my image tag so it will show my banner-image?
Thanks for any tips.

Craft beer fans, come Saturday, January 19, get a week's worth of sick-day excuses ready for the higher-ups: South Florida Beer Week officially begins. Four little words never sounded so good.
For Palm Beach County, the craft beer market has seen marked changes in just these past few years. From brewery openings (Tequesta Brewing Co., 2010; The Funky Buddha Lounge & Brewery, 2010; and Due South Brewing Co., 2012), to festivals like the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, Treasure Coast Beer Festival and the fledgling Palm Beach Craft Beer Festival have all helped spread the word of artisanal suds. Now for the second year running, South Florida Beer Week consolidates eight days of frothy brews with events ranging from Jupiter to Miami starting on January 19 with kick-off party/pig roast at the Front Porch Café in South Beach and the South Florida Beer Bus tour embarking from the Funky Buddha, culminating on Saturday, January 26 with the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival.
The impetus behind South Florida Beer Week is to celebrate all things craft beer in, well, South Florida. More than 25 events are planned, featuring five Florida breweries (TBC, Due South, Cigar City, Funky Buddha and Swamphead) at 25 of the tri-county area's best craft brew watering holes. Events range from tap takeovers and tastings to full-fledged festivals pairing some of the best area eats with the best sunshiny beers. The lion's share of events are going down in the PBC—wire-to-wire eight days of events for you to drink like a local—with the granddaddy of them all, the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival wrapping the party on January 26, starting at 1 p.m., while the coolest event (at least in my mind's eye), the Field of Beers, takes over Jupiter's Roger Dean Stadium on Friday, January 25 (sorry folks, this is sold out).
Now in it's seventh year, the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival has become of the best beer festivals in the Southeast. Brainchild of Fran Andrewlevich, co-founder of Tequesta Brewing Co., JCBF is a celebration of all things hoppy, malty and wheaty. Things begin with the above said Field of Beers on Friday night. Limited to just 375 guests (SOLD OUT!), the dugouts at Roger Dean Stadium opens to sixteen teams of brewers and chefs, where brewmasters and chefs pair craft brews with an array of inventive dishes for an evening under the stadium lights.
"I ask all the brewers to bring something off the cuff, something odd that you don't really see that often," says Andrewlevich. "And all the brewers are working their own tables, so if you have any questions, the brewer can answer you directly." This year (the fifth for Field of Brews), twelve of the brewers hail from Florida: Brewzzi, Tequesta Brewing Co., Inlet Brewing Co., Swamphead Brewery, Bold City Brewery, Big Bear Brewing Co., Florida Brewing Co., Gordan Biersch, Orange Blossom Pilsner, Saint Somewhere Brewing Co., Green Room Brewing and Cigar City Brewing Co.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., doors open to the main event, the Jupiter Craft Brewers Festival, and Craftoberfest. With 80 booths of brewers,bars and vendors and more than 100 beers, this year's JCBF promises to be the largest yet. Set out front of the stadium, guests—all 3,000 of them—can bounce from table to table and sample some of the best small-batch and microbrew beers in the country.
"The quality and selection of beer at our festival is like none other in South Florida," says Andrewlevich of the brewers and beers that will make up the lineup this year. "A lot of people bring some of their special beers."
Craftoberfest is more family oriented event, where the good times roll for those of age and younger. Running at the same time as the JCBF on Saturday, Craftoberfest is not 21 and up, and is dog friendly. The free event will take place at the Abacoa amphitheatre with a beer tent, traditional German food and the authentic German band Sonnenschein Express, hailing from Epcot Center. "It is a great weekend and a great time," says Andrewlevich, who has seen the festival grow from just over 1,000 people six years ago to one of the most talked-about beer festivals in the Southeast. "It is educational if you are interested in brewing, the beer is great, the food is phenomenal and the venue is like no other. Everyone around is into the same thing, having a great time, enjoying food and beer." What else can you ask for?
