Forums >Health and Nutrition>I Love Asparagus But...
...GAWDAMN!!! Why does my pee stink to high heaven after I eat it!!! LOL!
Everyone's pee smells like that after eating asparagus but you and I are among the special 22% of people who have the receptors to detect this interesting aroma! 78% of people reading this post won't know what you are talking about. What I find interesting is how soon after eating asparagus that you can smell it.
Formerly known as coolrunning on the RW forums
Not necessarily everyone's does, but most do.
Stinky but worth it. I always eat green asparagus. Does white do the same thing?

The stinky pee is so disgustingly awesome. Nothing like a bathroom punch in the face reminder at 3:00 AM that you had aparagus the night before.
That happens to me with coffee...
Yeah, I've got that receptor. It's an unbelievably nauseating smell.
Asparagus. Not even once.
I love asparagus, and I don't know what you're talking about.
I think I'm genetically flawed, but in this case, it's likely not a curse.

stop brewing your coffee with asparagus juice.

Reminds me of the first time i had beets. I was pretty sure that I had been abducted by aliens (again). Nope, not that time, just beets.
You should go get the clap just so you can give it to her. --beef
This is one of those words that my ESL brain had to work hard on so that I say it properly.
My brain processes it as ass-pair-AGG-us.
And, yeah, my pee stinks. But lots of stuff makes my pee stink.
Regular ass person
I am also a member of The Aromatic 22.
But I will gladly take some stankpee for asparagus goodness.
Look! KayPee posting about pee.

It's true. Very urine focused over here.

Yeah, I've got that receptor. It's an unbelievably nauseating smell. Asparagus. Not even once.
I wish I didn't have that reaction to the smell or make the smell in the first place, but I do. I also live about 10 minutes South of the largest asparagus-producing region in the US (maybe the world...but for sure the US). Such a shame, but I can't deal with the nausea from that stank!

OK—so you've made the awesome decision to stop eating animals (or are on your way there), and you're telling all your friends about it and feeling good. But you've got one problem: Every day at school, you hit the lunch line only to find the same old soggy salad and French fries waiting for you. And it's just not fair.
Well, peta2's got your back! The Veggie Burger Project is a campaign to get a veggie burger in every school cafeteria in order to make a vegetarian and vegan diet accessible to everyone.
It's often just as easy as chatting it up with your principal or lunch room staff. Politely tell them why you'd like to have a veggie burger in the cafeteria. If that doesn't work, don't get discouraged—
Grab petition sheets here and ask your classmates and friends to support your veggie burger campaign!
Take your petitions, along with this sample letter, to your principal and explain that you have support and resources that he or she can use to get a veggie burger added to your cafeteria menu. Remember: Be polite!
Ask your parents to talk to school officials with you and urge them to add a veggie burger to the menu. All students deserve a healthy lunch—right?

Van Hollen: Failure of Background Check Amendment is 'Sickening Display of Political Cowardice'
The congressman accused lawmakers of bowing to special interests after the Senate rejected expanded background checks on firearms. Do you agree?
The U.S. Senate rejected expanded background checks on firearm sales Wednesday, rejecting bipartisan legislation endorsed by President Barack Obama. The bipartisan effort of Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA), failed 54-46, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to break a filibuster, The Huffington Post reported. The measure would have expanded the current check system to cover sales of weapons on the Internet and at gun shows. Opponents said the expansion would have set the stage for a national registry of gun owners and said that it would not have prevented tragedies such as the Newtown shootings, HuffPo reports (see Gun Bill Background Check Amendment Fails, Other Key Provisions Follow). In response, U.S. Rep. Chris…

Video Reviews2013 Cadillac XTS Test Drive "The all-new 2013 Cadillac XTS Sedan boasts advanced technology coupled with a full-on combination of… User ReviewsThe community thinks...
The Cadillac XTS-L
by Ericthecarnut on 05/25/2012.
Cadillac's reputation as the builder of large luxury automobiles is legendary. It was their styling, performance, reliability and SIZE that put them on top. However, starting in the mid 80's Cadillac started to downsize. With the discontinuation of the rear wheel drive Fleetwoods in the 90's, the largest Cadillac became the DTS. The DTS fell far 'short' of other luxury brands like BMW 750Li, Audi A8L and Lexus 460L. Cadillac can once again join the top contenders in the Large Luxury car market, if they offer an XTS - L.
Need to offer an 'L' for more rear leg room.
Overall review:
Cadillac can be #1 again with the XTS, if they offer the car in lengthened platform.

The beleaguered former chief executive of Barclays Plc (BCS: Quote,BARC.L), Bob Diamond, apologized for the "reprehensible" behavior of traders at the bank who fixed interest rates, but told British lawmakers that Barclays is being singled out because it was the first to settle with the regulators.
In his testimony before the British Parliament's Treasury Select Committee in London Wednesday, Diamond said he was "physically ill" when he learned of the behavior of the Barclays traders who rigged Libor rates.
"I was physically ill, we dealt with it immediately. It was reprehensible. I'm sorry, disappointed and angry. No excuse for that behavior. This was wrong and I'm not happy about it," Diamond said.
He said that just 14 traders were to blame and that they had tainted the reputation of the 140,000 Barclays employees.
In his testimony, Diamond said, "I wasn't aware of Libor manipulation in October 2008. I found out this month." He also said in his testimony that he did not know the identity of the Whitehall sources who prompted the Bank of England's Paul Tucker to call him in 2008 expressing concern about the Barclays' high Libor figures.
Diamond said Tucker was calling him because he wanted to warn Barclays that, if "Whitehall" thought Barclays was having problem borrowing money, which Diamond claims it wasn't, the government would want to nationalize it.
According to the Barclays documents, Diamond did not believe he received an instruction from Tucker. However del Missier, then president of Barclays's investment bank, misinterpreted it as an instruction from the Bank of England not to keep Barclays's rate as high.
Tucker, now a deputy governor of the Bank of England, has not implicated in any way in the U.K. and U.S. regulatory probes.
Tucker, who is the front-runner to take over as governor of the Bank of England, on Wednesday made a request to testify to the committee about his role in the Barclays scandal.
Also, on being asked during the tesimony whether he would give up any further bonuses or payments as part of his resignation package, Diamond said it was for the bank's board to decide.
Diamond resigned as chief executive and a director of Barclays Tuesday, less than a week after the lender agreed to pay 290 million pounds to US and UK regulators to settle allegations that the company's employees tried to manipulate the inter-bank lending rate.
The settlement was part of an industry-wide investigation by authorities that several banks, including Barclays, sought to manipulate the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, or Euribor. The Libor rate-fixing scandal has also triggered the resignations of Barclays Chairman Marcus Agius and Chief Operating Officer Jerry Del Missier. Agius himself resigned Monday, before returning as full-time chairman Tuesday to help the firm find Diamond's replacement.
The London Interbank Offered Rate is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks.
Libor rates are calculated for different lending periods: overnight, one week, one month, two months, six months, etc., and published daily at 11:00 by the British Bankers' Association. Many financial institutions, mortgage lenders and credit card agencies set their own rates relative to, and typically higher than, Libor.
The scandal is seen as a fresh blow to the U.K.'s troubled banking sector, following massive bailouts paid for by taxpayers in the wake of the financial crisis.
The British government has ordered an independent review into the inter-bank lending rate. British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he plans to make Diamond and top executives at Barclays accountable for the scandal, while opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband has demanded a full public inquiry into banking practices.

You can either wrap two same colour yarns together at one time, or simple double wrap (going around the loom twice for each row). 1 Wrap or 1 String will produce poor results and a very loose look that is sloppy looking. We are going to use the TWISTED KNIT STITCH during this entire project. Numbers in front of each description represents rows. I divide the project into two. You are creating the brim in part 1, then body in part 2 Starting With The Brim Creation
The Body of The Hat
OPTIONAL: I would decorate the blue area with a large crochet star at the front of the hat. It would finish it off nicely. Video Tutorial- How to Loom Knit American Flag Hat- Version 3 Bonus Video Tutorials Crochet Mini Star for American Hats

This was ridiculous. Twice we saw the clock not running at some strange times. This being said the calls winning by 15 with 8 minutes left were atrocious.
This was ridiculous. Twice we saw the clock not running at some strange times. This being said the calls winning by 15 with 8 minutes left were atrocious.
Yea, they tried that timeclock dick trickery again this year. They need to Kick Belledick out of the league.
I thought the official time is kept by a ref on the field. If it's not right, he then instructs the scoreboard operator to correct it. So, if it wasn't corrected, that time was correct as per the ref on the field. Still, I don't think enough seconds ran off.
So you were comfortable with a 15 point lead in Foxboro against Brady and thought it best to go three and out to run 2:00 off the clock? Hindsight is easy, and one of the reasons we won this game was because of Harbaugh's refusal to play conservatively as we've done in the past. He went for the jugular, but it didn't work out on that series.
Up by 15, I agree with afan, it was time to run the clock. That didn't mean necessarily the Ravens had to play completely conservative and run on every down. But they could have worked the clock better. And BTW, on the 3-and-out, the Ravens ran off a whopping 53 seconds, not two minutes as you indicated.
As it turned out, it didn't matter; but it could have. Harbaugh/Caldwell coached a good offensive game overall, and you are right that being aggressive contributed to the victory; but there were some calls that should have been more conservative with a 15-point lead and only the clock standing in your path to a win.
I noticed the next time they got the ball they ran behind LT. I wonder if maybe Big Mc is out of Harbs doghouse?lol. I think 99% of the fans had to be screaming at the TV at this point. If you looked at Harbs face you could see he was wondering WHAT? Let's run and make this clock our friend.

Police attempt to keep Badge title
By Stephanie Flemmons Staff Writer
Saturday marks the fifth year the Plano police and fire departments go head-to-head during the Battle of the Badges competition.
In the departments' fifth annual competition, participants will compete to donate the most blood and garnish the most votes during a week-long blood drive.
The department that collects the most blood will receive the coveted Battle of the Badges trophy to display at their headquarters for the entire year.
Ballots will be available at each blood donating site for citizens and police and fire officials to vote for the department of their choice. The police have proven to be the victors two years running.
"We need everyone to participate so that we can claim the trophy for the police department again this year," Haines said.
All donors will receive a T-shirt to show their support.
Last year the departments collected 436 units of blood total. Pam Haines, police coordinator, said this year participants are shooting for 750.
Battle of the Badges originated from Plano's five rotary clubs in an effort to increase the amount of citywide donations.
"Every year the numbers go up," Haines said. "We added a lot of extra sites this year for individuals to donate blood."
Donors must be at least 17-years-old, weigh at least 110 pounds, and be in good health.
The kickoff to the blood drive will be from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Plano Independence Parade in the parking lot of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.
Carter BloodCare will be at various locations across the city on July 9-14.

I started wearing Cassini years ago after working with a girl who always wore it. I remember her walking by and the beautiful, crisp scent would just grab my senses. Well, that spurred my first purchase and 20 years later - I am still wearing it - and getting compliments over and over again. Even a bad hair day doesn't matter when I am wearing this scent. It makes me feel beautiful! Not overpowereing - but definitely a signature scent that lasts all day! Worth every penny!

Are PA Teenagers Driving More Safely?
Statistics from AAA show road deaths are up among 16- and 17-year-olds nationwide, but not in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's recent decrease in driving deaths among 16- and 17-year-olds bucked a nationwide increase of 19 percent, AAA Mid-Atlantic announced Tuesday.
In the first six months of 2012, six Pennsylvania drivers of those ages died in accidents, down from 10 in the first six months of 2011, according to AAA. Throughout the United States, the toll rose from 202 to 240.
Read on for more information from AAA, then tell us in the comments section below whether you've noticed teens driving more safely in the last couple years:
"This is good news for the Keystone state, and we hope the recent strengthening of Pennsylvania teen driving laws will continue the positive trend," said Jenny M. Robinson, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "But parents need to keep playing a role to ensure their teens drive safely. Also, an improving economy could see more teen miles being driven and a corresponding rise in accidents."
In 2011, there were 1,286 highway fatalities in Pennsylvania. More breakdowns are published in PennDOT's 2011 Crash Facts Book.
Teen drivers and seniors (AAA.com/SeniorDriving) are groups of special concern. The latest crash data for Pennsylvania shows an increase in fatalities involving a 16-year old driver—a jump to 29 fatalities in 2011, compared to 19 for 2010. And about 4.5% of those 17-21 got in a crash last year in the state. Teens and their parents can find valuable free information and resources at AAA.com/TeenDriving.
2:12 pm on Wednesday, February 27, 2013
No, because most don't drive anymore. They think living on their tablets, phones, and PCs is all they need. Most teens do not want to drive and seems to go into their 20's.
6:48 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
Tom, that's not fair or the case. All my boys drive, they have too. They are athletes and have jobs. Same with their friends. My husband and I run our own business, they have to get themselves to practice and work. They are also honor students and use technology a lot, but it's hardly a replacement for socializing with their friends. Do you have or know any kids?
7:36 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
I think it's due most of all to the 'designated driver' idea that adults use. High schoolers who drink often have one in their group who stays sober so he/she can get everyone home. Readers may not agree, but it's keeping kids who decide to drink safer and that's what really matters.
9:29 am on Thursday, February 28, 2013
I would suggest anyone with a teen driver check out http://streetsurvival.org/ . It is hands down the best way for teens (or anyone for that matter) to safely find the limits of their vehicle under real world conditions. Excellent instructors/volunteers

In the face of rising data volume and complexity and increased need for self-service, enterprises need an effective business intelligence (BI) reference architecture to utilize BI as a key corporate asset for competitive differentiation. BI stakeholders — such as project managers, developers, data architects, enterprise architects, database administrators, and data quality specialists — may find the myriad choices and constant influx of new business requirements overwhelming. Forrester's BI reference architecture provides a framework with architectural patterns and building blocks to guide these BI stakeholders in managing BI strategy and architecture.
Enterprise information management (EIM) is complex — from a technical, organizational, and operational standpoint. But to business users, all that complexity is behind the scenes. What they need is BI, an interface to enterprise data — whether it's structured, semistructured, or unstructured. Our June 2011 Global Technology Trends Online Survey showed that BI topped even mobility — the frontrunner in recent years — as the technology most likely to provide business value over the next three years.
BI architecture is never simple, and this is especially true in large, heterogeneous enterprises with global reach and multiple product and service lines. Such enterprises always have more than one enterprise data warehouse (EDW), hundreds of data marts, and several BI platforms. BI reference architecture has to account for agility enablers, such as allowing exceptions to the standards and business user self-service, due to ever-changing business and regulatory requirements. The resulting BI reference architecture may not look pretty and simple, but it's pragmatic and practical.
In this new research — as part of our upcoming BI playbook — we provide architectural diagrams, explanations, and rationalization for the following BI reference architecture components:
For detailed explanation of each component and diagrams on how it all fits together, please read our latest report.
"This is a good read. All data terminologies are well explained. It would be great if you could explain some ETL process that helps in agile software development . I found a good process flow implementation service here: http://www.deerwalk.com/data_conversion_services.

I'm looking for feedback to the following fixes I have formulated. Are these correct?
A) TX/RX paths swapped: going from 4pin jumper to microcontroller. This is because of the TX/RX from the FT232 into the jumper makes it necessary.
B) Ring/Tip switch on the DC jack: The two pads in the image below need to be swapped with their connections maintained.
C) The 0.1uF caps on top of the 10K 1206 resistors in the PLL section can be placed in parallel somewhere BESIDE the 10K resistors on the board.
D) The MIC2506 voltage boost regulator rated for 7.5V max is receiving 13.5 V, as reported by another WB assembler. This can only be from pins 1 or 4 which are connected to the other voltage regulators and the microcontroller at pins 1 and 8 respectively. How do I fix this with the a resistor?
Ciao !

Reliable as they come: Eagles sweep Richardson track meet
BY Matt Welch, firstname.lastname@example.com
It was almost symbolic that the Allen track and field team competed at the Reliable Chevrolet Relays in Richardson on March 7.
Fitting in that six weeks into the season, the Eagles have been as reliable as it gets with top-three team finishes in every meet thus far. That trend held form at Eagle-Mustang Stadium where Allen swept the field for a pair of meet victories.
"It's always good to win one," said Larry Halliburton, Allen girls head coach. "We're running really well right now, not only in our sprints but the kids in the distance races are also scoring points for us."
Allen placed top three in all but 10 of the meet's 34 total events.
The Allen boys and girls placed in the top three 12 times each and raked in 13 total first-place finishes on the afternoon. Seven of those wins were procured on the boys side and primarily on the track, where the Eagles' short-distance speed made the difference. Chad Adams proved as much, racing to first in the 100-yard dash (10.78) while Cameron Hartsfield followed suit in the 200 (22.31). The two also teamed with Mayomi Olootu and Cory Miller for first in the 800 relay (1:30.11).
Gilson Umunnakwe added first in the 400 (50.55) and also ran the trail leg of Allen's winning 1,600 relay (3:23.13) alongside Dexter Lee, Evan Jones and Grant Finney.
Joe Miller and Alex Hintze commandeered the Eagles' efforts in the field events, with the former placing first in the high jump (6-02) and the latter doing the same in the pole vault (13-00).
A sprint-heavy onslaught was the plan for the Lady Eagles as well, largely thanks to Kennedy Knight who scampered to first in both the 100 (12.08) and 200 (25.55), while Taylor Dunlap placed first in the 400 (58.46) and Deonca Bookman topped out in the 300 hurdles (45.92).
"I just hope [Knight] stays healthy and keeps running the way she's been running," Halliburton said. "She's been doing a great job for us."
Ericka May and Kiyana Dixon rounded out the efforts with first-place finishes in the high jump (5-04) and triple jump (38-06 1/2), respectively.
In the midst of Spring Break, the Eagles will resume their season March 22 for their host meet, the Eagle Relays. The event kicks off at 2 p.m. from the Track Stadium.
"We're feeling pretty good," Halliburton said. "As long as we stay healthy and everybody keeps working hard, I think we'll be fine when the postseason starts."

Day 37 P90X, 30 Years Old!!
I could not have asked to end my 20's better. Last nights test was a doozy. For two hours we were put through push-up, sit-ups, jumping kicks, hand techniques, seven forms, Staff forms, one-steps for hands and feet, Judo take-downs, grappling, Jui Jitsu.. and then in the last half hour we were put in the middle of a circle with two other opponents to sparr. I held my own... although they landed some pretty fierce punches and kicks too. One got me right under my ribs... it made it hard to breathe the last minute, but I made it! I am now a 2nd Degree Green belt!! I skipped 3 belts... I cant believe I learned (and remembered) everything I needed to!!
Hubby did great too and received his Orange belt!! YAY HUBBY!!!
We both chatted up a storm afterwards in the car and at home. The topic mainly being that he and I could have never survived that 3 months ago. That is no joke. The fact that I kept up with the 'big boys' and finished every thing asked of me.. well, I was pretty impressed with myself. It wasn't easy though. There were times when I was so exhausted I could barely keep moving. I had several times when I thought I was going to throw up, but managed to keep it down. Somewhere I gathered up the strength to throw men that were well over 200 lbs and over 6' tall. I wrestled them to the ground and got submissions... I got hit in the face, stomach and even kicked in the butt once... but never stopped.
Why are the tests so hard? You have to earn your belt. Just because you know it, doesn't mean you can DO IT. There was one exercise where everyone stood in a circle, with me in the middle. At random they were called out to attack me. I was not allowed to hit or kick... just take them down. They grabbed me on my wrists, shoulders and choke holds. Your mind is racing to remember what you were taught to do at that moment. You have to act fast, because on the street the man is not going to wait around to see what your going to do. One guy I had on the floor before I even knew what I was doing.
I feel like I have earned my way to 30. Today I am a better woman then I have ever been.I am sober, don't smoke and eat the healthiest food I can find. So, I have passed my test and made it to 30. I wonder what the 40 test will be like?
Today's Plan:
I am supposed to be doing Cardio X.. and while I still might.. I am going to give my body a rest and do Stretch X instead.
Water, WWIB
Tomorrow we are having family over for a Birthday BBQ. I know there will be some of Hubby's yummy pork sandwiches.. and cake... so I better be really good today so I can eat up tomorrow!!

Laurinburg City Council's newest member will likely be appointed next Tuesday, but it remains uncertain who that person will be.
Council met this week to discuss the appointment process, but left the meeting without determining how exactly the appointment will be made.
The council is seeking to replace District 1 Councilman Herbert Rainer, who plans to step down at the end of the month.
The last two people appointed to council were hand picked by their predecessors. Rainer announced last month that he planned to continue that tradition and selected former county Commissioner J.D. Willis to take his place on the council.
Since that time, Laurinburg pastor Dr. Jesse Brunson has also stepped forward as a candidate for Rainer's seat.
Mayor Tommy Parker urged the council not to change its appointment policy "mid stream."
"Heretofore the outgoing council member has offered a name which in the past council has accepted. The precedent is that," Parker said.
But Councilman Kenton Spencer has proposed a more extensive appointment process. He said he favored a vetting process for prospective appointees and added that he was leery of naming someone with whom he was unfamiliar.
"You're asking me to vote on someone that I don't even know," Spencer said, clarifying that he was referring to both Brunson and Willis.
"When we are in a precarious time making critical decisions, who you put on the board does make a difference."
Councilwoman Mary Jo Adams also expressed disappointment that there was not already a more extensive policy in place.
Taking responsibility for the lack of a formal policy for the appointment of council members mid-session, Parker said that "he did not anticipate having to deal with (Rainer's resignation) as quickly as we are having to deal with it."
Determined to continue operating under the established precedent, Councilman Curtis Leak said that he trusted Rainer's "expertise and intelligence," and would accept Rainer's recommendation.
"I feel that he made the right decision, so I heed to whatever (Rainer) said," Leak said.
Leak also questioned the motive of those looking to buck the precedent.
"The irony about the whole thing is that it always happened in District 2 in the past and nobody said anything, and all of a sudden something happens in District 1 and everybody wants to be in charge."
According to Leak, most of the members who chose to vacate their seats in the past have been white women.
"The only white female that served their full term was Ann Slaughter," Leak said. "(White females) have just quit because of the pressure that the community puts on them. "
Adams objected to the characterization, pointing out that some of the past members being referenced by Leak had actually moved out of the city limits and resigned for that reason.
"You say they moved, but everybody didn't move. I keep notes, Miss Adams. I've got notes. What happened after Jane Ford and the other lady left, every one of them had the opportunity to pick their successor."
In the instance of former Councilwoman Jane Ford's resignation 18 years ago, council did take written applications. Leak said that the process was little more than a formality.
"All we did was sugar coat it. Let's cut the bull. She basically picked who she wanted."
Defending the precedent, Rainer sad that the council has "always adhered to a democratic process of freedom of the vote."
"We have not denied anybody the opportunity to be voted on," Rainer said.
It remains to be seen on Tuesday how the council will proceed with the appointment process.
They may either continue the tradition of taking an up or down vote on the outgoing member's nominee or they may take nominations from the floor and then vote from among those nominated individuals.
Parker encouraged those council members with concerns about Willis or Brunson to call them privately.
"I don't mean for this to be a smart comment, but the phone rings both ways … (and) if there is a question you have, talk to them. You have to be willing to do that.
"If you all want to open (the vote) up to other people, that's your business, but my plan is to vote Tuesday night."
The entire voting process will take place in open session.

Navigation Problem
Is there anyone that can help me with a CSS problem with my navigation?
It appears ok in Firefox but in IE 7 it hides behind another section and I'm struggling to get it working properly.
Site is here: http://graemepirie.com
Cheerscan you explain what the problem is?
I looked in FF and IE7 and they both look fine, but then again, I don't know what it is meant to look like.
your problem sounds like.....
how far away is london? I could say 1hr by plane, 500-ish miles, a day by car, but someone could say something different if they are from australia.Will have to x2 that. Functions the exact same in FF3 and IE7.The homepage looks fine. The problem seems limited to the About and Portfolio pages.
I had a look and, well i've been scratching my head for a while actually. It turns out you have a few syntax errors in your css - it's always worth running it by the validator and fixing those just incase it's screwing with IE / Firefox.
That's by the by. You are actually referencing two different style sheets
http://graemepirie.com/wp-content/theme ... /style.css (13622 bytes) in homepage
http://graemepirie.com/new/wp-content/t ... /style.css (13503 bytes) in about, etc...
So subtle that like I say it took me some time to spot it myself.
I suggest you use <?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?> in your template to correct this issue :-)Sorry guys, my bad.
I fixed the navigation shortly after posting by trying a few things out, apologies. Just sorting out some of the other bugs.
it would have been nice if you at least updated your post so that we were not wasting our time....
please in future, if you fix something please let us know, so we can help others.

TK: Field testing would create a higher standard, no doubt. For me, I would have hoped that USDA would publish all the testing information gathered in a single public database. Any information about organic testing will only obtained with great effort, it appears. This part of the rule explains:
AMS does not intend to integrate results into a single dataset, as was requested by some commenters. To minimize the reporting burden for certifying agents, this final rule does not require that certifying agents submit copies of test results to the Administrator; however, certifying agents continue to be required to report certain test results that are found in excess of federal regulatory tolerances or action levels for pesticide residues or environmental contaminants to the appropriate health agency under the section 205.670(g).
This final rule does not require reporting of testing data to the Administrator since this action is not intended as a data collection mechanism to draw conclusions about residues in organic products in general. AMS will verify compliance of certifying agents with this rule under the existing requirements for accreditation as discussed in the response to comments on Reporting Requirements. The NOP also notes that this final rule does not amend the existing requirement that results of all analyses and tests performed under section 205.670 be made available for public access, unless the testing is part of an ongoing compliance investigation. The public may access sampling results obtained by certifying agents under the existing regulations.
Do readers think the USDA testing program is sufficient as published in the final rule?

I recently bought an Avalon A200CE Gold series guitar second hand. Model nom A00500. A wonderful instrument, thank you.
However, it suffers from severe dead notes in many places, most significantly on the 5th fret lower e string, a string 8th to 14th frets, and some on the higher strings.
The frets appear totally fine and unworn in these positions and the nut & saddle look absolutely fine too - the instrument has been well kept.
I understand the freqeuncy/ acoustic that may be at play, but you say yourselves, that you 'use the finest materials and uncompromising traditional craftsmanship. We exist to make guitars that are technically perfect and inspiring to play'. It is clear that you do and strive to, from what a beautiful instrument this is, but the nature present make this an imperfect instrument to me.
If it were perfect, the frequency range and resonance would be perfect, and there would be no dead notes.
I'd just like to know if this is common in your guitars, or if you have had any owners complain/ inquire of this before. I'm just after piece of mind, becuase I am looking to return the guitar to the seller, to my sadness, it is so nice and playable, having fallen in love with it. It's just these dead notes are really, really bad when played - instant thud and sustain, tone, vibration, resonance kill.
Any responses with an insight would be a help,
much thanks

Edelstein: Kate Upton, Chris Christie, Barack Obama and all of 2012
Well, 2012 is just about in the books, so now is as good a time as any to look back at my predictions for the year and see how many of them came true.
PREDICTION #1: Trenton Mayor Tony Mack and Hamilton Mayor John Bencivengo will reach across party lines and create a major economic initiative for Mercer County's two biggest municipalities. Thousands of jobs will be created and Mack and Bencivengo will be discussed as a possible governor/lieutenant governor team in the 2013 presidential election.
RESULT: A little off on this one. Bencivengo is headed to jail, Mack is headed to trial, and 37.8 percent of Mercer County residents posted "SMH" on their Facebook page as a result.
PREDICTION #2: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will call Assemblyman Reed Guscioria "numbnuts" at some point.
RESULT: Nailed that one. Almost scary how I got that one right. Just came to me in a flash.
PREDICTION #3: Christie will also seek the Republican presidential nomination, get it, defeat President Barack Obama in the general election, and then declare October "National Gnocchi Month."
RESULT: Christie decided to not run, though I have on good authority he still loves gnocchi.
PREDICTION #4: Kate Upton will take the modeling world by storm and will have a video go viral.
RESULT: OK fine, I didn't predict that one, I just needed an excuse to watch the "Cat Daddy" video again. Oh momma. Pass the gnocchi.
PREDICTION #5: Women all over America will come together and bond over a piece of literature written by a previously unknown author. The book's theme will cover all manner of modern women's issues, from equality in the workplace to sexism to the role of a mother in today's society. Continued...
RESULT: Every American woman instead read a book in which the main character gets involved in a messed up relationship featuring bondage, submission and S&M, and then comes back for more over two equally sexually explicit sequels. Meanwhile, every American man is like, "What the hell Really? That's it. I'm going bowling."
PREDICTION #6: If Chris Christie doesn't seek the GOP nomination, Mitt Romney will seize the mantle. He'll then run a campaign of a true centrist Republican, detailing all the ways he's going to help bring the lower and middle class up the ladder. He'll also bring minorities into the Republican tent, and, at some point during the campaign, a video will be leaked of him saying something like, " … and 47 percent of Americans have binders full of women" and that will propel him to the White House and then probably President of the World.
RESULT: So close, so close.
PREDICTION #7: The Mars Rover Curiosity will kick it Gangnam Style.
RESULT: This one was crazy, as at the time of the prediction, as the rover had not yet safely landed on the red planet and Psy's "Gangham Style" had not yet been released. Sometimes I'm just spooky good.
PREDICTION #8: I'm going to look at the Kate Upton "Cat Daddy" video again.
RESULT: Nailed it.
PREDICTION #9: And again.
RESULT: Be right back … OK. Where were we? Oh yes. Last prediction.
PREDICTION #10: The end of the Mayan long count calendar, Dec. 21, will not signal the end of the world. In fact, the end of the world will actually occur a week later, on Dec. 28. Why the discrepancy? Failure to take into account tidal forces of the moon as it relates to the modern "leap year." Continued...
RESULT: The day is young, folks. The day is young.

I've tried a few jambalaya recipes, none of which really appealed to me. This one, however, is excellent! I used leftover roasted chicken & left out the shrimp, as I didn't have any on hand. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. We gobbled it up! We love Cajun-style food, so I'm very pleased that I now have a jambalaya recipe to add to our dinner rotation.

Sandboxie Shortcut Creator |
Somewhere someone requested a shortcut maker to link a file to be opened with Start.exe. Well, here it is (I was bored tonight).
EXE will first look for sbie.ini containing the path to Start.exe, if it doesn't find it, it wil prompt you to locate it (and will check to be sure), then write the INI file containing the path in the same directory as the EXE. Then it checks if you passed it a file via drag-and-drop or the Send To... menu. So yes, you can do both of those things If not, it will prompt you to choose your target file. If the target file is an EXE file, it will use the program icon for the shortcut. If not, it will use the Sandboxie icon for the shortcut (instead of the generic windows icon). Then you are prompted for a location to save the shortcut, a shortcut name, and then you are given the option to specify a sandbox parameter, ie /box:current. Voila, shortcut created. Comments and suggestions welcome!! Sandboxie Shortcut Creator v188.8.131.52 (MD5: 88ffccb43531c43080fd01705fce19b2) |

Very nice indeed! Well done (yet again). Made a desktop shortcut to the Shortcut Maker. 5 drag & drop minutes later I have all the shortcuts I've been meaning to get around to making. Fantastic! Thanks.

Haha, thats not what im referring to.....
Anyways, i guess i'll just bring it up anyways, heres the suggestion, when you get to the part that lets you enter in what box you'd like to run the specified program in, instead of having to type it in, how about if you have the shortcut creator query what sandboxes exist on your hd, then let them choose the sandbox from a dropdown menu? |
@Mitch - I think the shortcut arrows are added by Windows. There is a setting somewhere that lets you turn them on and off globally, but I don't know that you could change the behavior for a single shortcut. Maybe make a folder to contain all the Sandbox shortcuts would minimize the confusion?
@ SND - good idea. The location of sandboxie.ini would have to be added to the initial 'discovery' process to be included in sbie.ini as sandboxie.ini can reside (I think) in 2 locations, the Sandboxie program folder or Windows directory. |
That's a good idea. I'll have to look into it to see if I can do that with the current setup. I don't think I can with the current plugin used for the dialogs. However I'm looking into using a different method to create a one page dialog, and I think I can do more with that. But the documentation for it is very incomplete at the moment becuase it's new, so it might be a while before either they finish the docs, or I can figure it out somehow. |
You could simply enter DefaultBox at that point, and the /box: would be missing from the shortcut's target parameter. |
_________________ XP Pro SP3 |
I've just about got the one-page dialog done. I've basically figured out the nsDialogs plugin - cool stuff. Too bad I left my other source code at home (doh!).
Re: the /box: parameter - To present a listbox, I'd have to read each line from the INI (can't just extract section titles), check for the [] and store all box titles, skipping the Global section. Then I could create the listbox. But documentation of listboxes is non-existent at this time (of course), so this will have to wait a bit. In the mean time I'll change it so the user only has to enter the box name, and not the full /box:name string. It will just test - if the field is empty, nothing will be added; if the field has text it will add /box:text. |
Nice job wraithdu.
_________________ tzuk |
New Version - v188.8.131.52 |
One-page dialog!
This one is much more user friendly. And I finally got to force myself to learn nsDialogs, at least a portion of it. It's a sweet plugin for anyone who uses NSIS, but the documentation is a long way from finished. Does the same stuff as the old version, except now you only have to type the name of the sandbox you want to run it under and you can omit the /box: prefix. Drag-and-drop and Send To... shortcuts still supported as well. Thanks everyone for the positive comments and suggestions! |

Really nice update, wraithdu
Not much I can suggest, here. Maybe you can figure out how to delete the text in the "Shortcut name..." text entry box, when that box gets the focus, so that typing in the box automatically deletes what's there - same as in the previous version. If not, no big deal. I like the check for Start.exe location, and writing of the sbie.ini file to disk. I haven't tried moving sandboxie.ini to a different location (from Windows to SB program folder), after the sbie.ini file is written, but I assume that your program will prompt for the new location and re-write sbie.ini. |
I'm sure there's a window message that will do that, like an OnFocus message or something, I'll have to look into it.
The utility doesn't use sandboxie.ini (yet / ever?). If you meant sbie.ini, then yes, if it's missing it will prompt you to locate Start.exe again and rewrite the file. I noticed however I don't actually check that Start.exe exists in subsequent runs. It checks the filename, but not that the path still exists. Now, this shouldn't change, cause you'd have to change your installation directory or manually mess up the INI, but I'll add it just to be thorough after I figure out how to clear that box. |
I don't even have SnD's excuse - wasn't drinking at all - it's just been a very long day. Came back to delete that comment - too late...I was too tired to make any sense, but I did like the update Yes, I was referring to moving start.exe, after your .ini file was written to disk. Somehow, things got mixed-up. Another alternative for the Shortcut Name box: move "(Omit .LNK extension)" out of the box, and put it in the label for the box. P.S. Don't overlook adding an "About" drop-down menu, if the documentation shows you how to do it. You do want some credit showing, don't you? Version number, Author: .... Time for bed, now... zzzzzzz |

State Senate Races to Watch in Arkansas
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: November 2, 2012
They'll also decide who to send to the State Capitol as representatives in the Arkansas Senate.
A total of 55 candidates are running for 35 seats.
We've selected xix of those races as the ones to watch:
District 7 - Rep. Jon Woods (R) versus Diana Gonzales Worthen (D)
Woods, of Springdale, won a competitive primary to run against the first Latin woman ever to run in Arkansas. Woods was first elected to the Arkansas House of Representatives in November of 2006 and he has been re-elected twice. He currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Public Health Committee, and is a member of the Insurance and Commerce Committee and the Arkansas Legislative Council.
Worthen, also of Springdale, is a veteran educator, small business owner, and the grand-daughter of immigrants. She has taught at Rogers and Springdale Public Schools and the University of Arkansas. Today she directs Project Teach Them All, a Department of Education grant program providing training for teachers seeking an ESL endorsement.
District 9 - Sen. Bruce Holland (R) v. Rep. Tracy Pennartz (D)
Holland, of Greenwood, made headlines last year when he was chased by a sheriff's deputy across two counties. Holland says he believes in keeping our state government small and in rights for land owners.
Pennartz, of Fort Smith, is looking to make the move from the Arkansas House. Her campaign website states that her priorities are economic development and no grocery taxes.
District 15 - Rep. David Sanders (R) v. Johnny Hoyt (D)
This is the Senate seat for a good portion of West Little Rock.
Sanders calls himself a committed conservative leader who's fighting for a better Arkansas. He has previously served District 31 of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Hoyt says he will focus on creating new jobs and working with district businesses and leaders to help protect the jobs already here.
District 28 - Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R) v. Rep. Tiffany Rogers (D)
Incumbent Dismang, of Searcy, is looking to hold on to this seat, while Rogers is seeking a move from the Arkansas House.
Dismang owns a consulting firm through which he provides financial oversight for a number of companies with an emphasis in real estate. He has been named Legislator of the Year by the Arkansas Realtors Association.
Rogers, of Stuttgart, has served as Director of Continuing Education at Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas for over 15 years. She's made job creation in Arkansas her focal point.
District 34 - Rep. Jane English (R) v. Rep. Barry Hyde (D)
This race has been contentious and it's one both sides think they could win.
Both English and Hyde have served in the Arkansas House of Representatives. English, of North Little Rock, has experience that includes more than two decades working on economic development and workforce training as a Senior Project Manager for the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and Director of both the Arkansas Workforce Investment Board and Arkansas Manufacturers Association.
Hyde has served North Little Rock and Sherwood for three terms as state representative. He is a military veteran and also the CEO of Hydco, Inc., a commercial construction company he started more than 20 years ago.
District 35 - Sen. Jason Rapert (R) v. Rep. Linda Tyler (D)
District 35 includes Faulkner and Perry counties.
Rapert is a financial advisor and co-owner of Rapert & Pillow Financial in Conway. He is also the founder and former president of the faith-based humanitarian mission organization Holy Ghost Ministries, Inc., which provides clean water and assistance to the poor and orphans in Ghana West Africa, Uganda and the Philippines. Rapert's campaign website states that he seeks to change the status quo that has existed in Arkansas for the last 140 years.

I disagree about it being the right of the athlete to decide whether or not they are fit to compete.
By being part of that team, accepting organizational funds, the lifter agrees that the organization will make some decisions on their behalf. Don't like it? Don't be a member of team. I think you will agree with that last bit, Chris.
The USAW sets the rules in advance, and the lifters follow them. The team was selected as a result of these rules so according to the procedures- no one has crap to say about it. If the USAW now does not like their own qualifying procedures, they should go cry in their milk, not attack their own elite athletes.
