Man gets prison for ATV crashJanuary 17,2014
ST. JOHNSBURY — The driver of an all-terrain vehicle that crashed in Vermont in 2012, leaving himself and a passenger seriously injured, has been sentenced to at least 18 months in prison.
Dylan Cady, 23, of Barnet, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors in Caledonia County criminal court Monday to settle multiple charges.
Police said an intoxicated Cady was so concerned about getting caught with drugs he was carrying that he begged witnesses who came upon the crash not to call 911. His passenger was lying in the middle of the road, losing blood and suffering from a compound fracture to her leg.
Cady pleaded no contest to five charges. He was convicted of two counts of drunken driving and other charges.MORE IN This Just InSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
over-charging vs fair margins
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 16, 2010POSTED: Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Although you need to look out for your bottom line it is important to know that being ripped off is typically feeling that you paid to much but also that the seller is marking-up product too much. Be assured that in the Wireless biz it is RARELY overly-inflated mark-up.
Retailers are stuck selling product way below cost in hopes that you will keep your service contract active so they may be reimbursed for the loss/discount. The margin that wireless retailers sell at is in many cases lower than anything else you may buy and even they even at times sell AT A LOSS.
So my point is that it's the other guy that is selling "unusually low" just to get you in the door or maybe they bought in an absurd volume. So it's more glass-half-full than glass-half-empty if you find a better price than average. There are some retailers that are priced too high and just the same there are a some that are priced "too low".
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

SUBMITTED: Friday, February 01, 2013POSTED: Friday, February 01, 2013
Second how have you been ripped off? Was there some charges Dandy Cash took up front? Can you detail them? Or are you just concerned about a debit they might make on your account in the future. If so you need to talk to your bank right away.
Last, a little internet research seems to show this company might not be on the up and up -- tho most of the recent complaints seem to be written by you ("Wont someone please investigate..."). If so you need to take steps to protect yourself from identity theft as you probably just gave this questionable company all your personal information just because they promised to lend you some money at some future point.
Only you can help you.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Skip to comments.Romney's $10,000 bet highlights personal wealth (RINO Romney is toast; Peggy Noonan deeply saddened)
Posted on 12/10/2011 9:34:14 PM PST by jimbo123
He could have bet a beer. Or maybe a steak dinner.
But during a heated dispute with Rick Perry during Saturday night's debate in Des Moines, Iowa, Mitt Romney extended his right hand and asked the Texas governor if he'd wager $10,000 to settle a dispute over his healthcare record. The rich bet instantly provided Romney's opponents with new ammunition for their charge that he's out of touch with middle-class America.
(Excerpt) Read more at seattlepi.com ...
Lots of faux conservative RINO talking heads with sheeple GOP radio following(sI are going to be soiling their diapers over the weekend over this. So close, yet so far (the nomination, or coronation for that matter).
Who does NOT estimate Romney and Perry to be rich? This is like a $10 bar bet among working men. However wise or foolish, it's being blown way out of proportion.
It means government employees reporting to the Hildebeest forked over that amount. It's not taxpayer money
Oh, come on. All you have to do is look at him. And all he has to do is look in a mirror.
Start with A-G Holder, or perhaps you think the agenda he is implementing is not that big a deal.Yes, and I am equally if not more concerned about Romney's top advisor Ron Kaufman who promotes organized labor and progressive interests: http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Alt/alt.politics.bush/2008-01/msg01411.html
Doesn't bother me, but I'm thinking there's a lot of folks in Iowa who don't approve of gambling.
Exactly. I can already see him grinning on the TV waving at his supporters, the NBC/CBS/ABC drone saying "This history-making night for this historic presidency" or somesuch babble, Chris Matthews and the rest of the MSNBC pipsqueaks whipping away tears.
I should label my own post with a Barf Alert.
We will have to learn to cultivate a backbone as well. When the liberal media decides to make up things that they know will cause us to question our candidates and people who say they are conservatives complain that the candidate isn't ready harangue us every day trying to get us to support their RINOs, we have to be willing to stop listening and tell the CINOs to shut up.
I don't worry about whether a candidate is ready. If we have to wait for ready, we will end up with the same lying, phony conservative we've always gotten. (Hear that Marco.) They tell us Sarah Palin wasn't ready, Herman Cain wasn't ready, Michele Bachmann isn't ready. But each of them is a conservative who would stand up for what we believe and would not sell out our citizens or our sovereignty. I cannot say that about any of the RINOs, moderates and panderers out there running for office now.
It is an absolute disgrace when a nation throws it's principles out for slick lying comforts because they want someone who can "win."
"And that is the end of RINO Romney."
That doesn't mean it's a new beginning for conservatives :/
Interesting point. Also, having a Republican do it would essentially neutralize the ability of the GOP to halt or hinder the transformation of the US into a socialist paradise. And I don't think Romney would be really averse to the police state aspects of doing so, either.
In any case, I was out and missed the debate (I'll try to watch a replay later) but it sounds as if things went about as expected.
Maybe true. He just wants to fritter our freedoms away while he has an easy time of playing king in DC, surrounded by an adoring MSM and wheeling/dealing our personal rights down the toilet.
He was asked a question and he gave a very good answer. And Perry never mentioned Newt or anyone else.
***Because these dopes, as you call them, showed the courage to stand up!***
You get it;)
Whatever the motivation behind volunteering for public office - these 'beauty pageants' have to be the most demeaning/exhilarating/exhausting/painful/challenging/unnerving/despicable/debilitating/sweat flopping experiences for any 'normal' human being.
Having to defend your life from birth, through adolescence (Newt's first marriage), college courses, elective office infighting, marital conflict, all your conversations with every person you ever met, odd family members, religious conversion, jewelry purchases, diet and all other hobbies or interests unrelated to governing.
This is why low-level political experience as a house member or senator is important. Usually, you learn what you need to do to overcome these things. In retrospect, Palin should have run against Murkowski for the senate seat.
Not to everyone, though. Somebody's got to pay for the pie.
I do not believe that Mitt Romney is 100% self-seeking.
I think he is at least in part trying to help carry out God's plan on this Earth (as are many of us).
The problem I have is that I am not privy to what Romney thinks God's plan is.
I agree, but like all RINO's he would take the path of least resistance as President and try to please everyone. Everyone except Conservatives.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is opposed to gambling, including lotteries sponsored by governments. Church leaders have encouraged Church members to join with others in opposing the legalization and government sponsorship of any form of gambling.
These people are so out of touch with the average joe-six-pack it's not even funny.
Our representative republic was set up so that any American with a desire to serve in public capacity could do so.
Now, you have to be a millionaire to even come close to getting your message out and run a campaign.
Our system has been grossly perverted.
That said, everyone is missing the larger context, here. And most seem to be falling for it. It's class warfare. Romney gave everyone the 'GOP are nothing but rich _______.' stick, and even conservatives are using it to beat him.
Yes, Romney's fault. But don't be so quick to fall into the MSM trap.
Perry should have countered with donating the money to a charity like Wounded Warriors.
I agree with most of what you wrote but Sen. Rubio decided not to get in and Mr. Cain withdrew from the race, each for reasons of his own.
Our candidates chose for themselves to step forward (or not) and we are free to nominate whichever we prefer from among them. I think people complain too much about our slate and how it was formed.
In hindsight, considering Newt's rise to the top, Palin could have absolutely overcome any negative numbers.
Romney is still a radical socialist and unacceptable. Since he is a socialist, he is a fool.
Whatever Palin was reading in her polling, it had to convince her that the numbers would not move. I agree. I know too many religious, conservative women who just can't stand her and too many young people who don't like her.
But LS, the same can be said about Newt, too. Just look at FR.
You know, I could seriously see Romney bragging about how efficient he runs a police state compared to anyone else, lol.
People settle for less because they trust in man more than God. Do what is right. Choose the person who holds to what is right. Don't worry about who the media or elites say can win, or is ready or not. As long as conservatives decide they have to choose someone the world thinks can win, they will choose a loser.
I'm glad Marco Rubio did not run. He's a panderer like Ricky LaRaza and Newtron Amnewtsty. They all talk conservative but not one of them cares enough about the citizens of this country to stand up for our possessions or our sovereignty.
We don't have a slate yet. Not even one vote has been cast. But you can see the hand of the elites at work. The insiders and elites still have their champion. Now they are trying to convince their old champion it's time for him to move on.
GOD Mitt such a TOOL
Yes, the $10,000 wager was definitely a sign that Romney is out of touch with middle class America. But I think that the real controversy is that the Mormon religion, which Romney belongs to, forbids gambling.
Whatever, Santorum won the debate.
Pretty good analysis of the debate.
I wasn't as enamored with Santorum as you, but agree with everything else.
Pompous, angry grandpa? LOL
Trying very hard not to knock Newt or any other candidate, but Newt does have the little temper problem with people not as smart as he is... and, since nobody is as smart as he is, he has a problem.
Why do you say Perry doesn't have a chance at this point?
Has there been a vote and I missed it?
He has an excellent chance. Romney is gone and Newt's popularity is paper thin.
Perry said what he believes and what he's lived about marriage.
He didn't bring the topic up, nor did he mention Newt.
If you want to complain, complain to that stupid, annoying female moderator. omigosh was she irritating.
Perry has an excellent chance? Not so much.
We'll see soon enough.

You removed the wpfb_output_button filter in 2.5.1. I was using it to translate the text according to language selected, how can I do it now?
Oh wow - I didn't think anyone else was actually using that, sorry.
The change was because my original free/premium design of just overwriting the entire tag was really messy, and I'd planned to redo it up a bit in a future version - perhaps use HTML5 rather than xfbml and document.write().
I just submitted an update (2.5.3) that adds a new filter (renamed to reflect the fact that it ONLY applies to the text, not the whole entire tag) :)
Great! And what is the name of this new filter?
...Ummm, I don't see why you don't just open the file and look, but it's wpfb_button_text... :P
Ok but it seems this filter applies only to free version. How can I do with Premium version?
...Just do it in the options. There's no need to use a filter with the premium version, never has been.
Please read what I wrote. I used this filter to change the button label according to language. So I need a programmatic way to change it.
Ohh, *according* to language - I thought you meant you were just setting it to the language of your site.
Why not just:
set_option($opt_jfbp_buttontext, "yourtext")
in wp_head or something, based on the current language...? It's equivalent to doing it in the options, but programmatic...

Deletion of microRNA-155 reduces autoantibody responses and alleviates lupus-like disease in the Fas(lpr) mouse.
Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115.
MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) regulates antibody responses and subsequent B-cell effector functions to exogenous antigens. However, the role of miR-155 in systemic autoimmunity is not known. Using the death receptor deficient (Fas(lpr)) lupus-prone mouse, we show here that ablation of miR-155 reduced autoantibody responses accompanied by a decrease in serum IgG but not IgM anti-dsDNA antibodies and a reduction of kidney inflammation. MiR-155 deletion in Fas(lpr) B cells restored the reduced SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 1 to normal levels. In addition, coaggregation of the Fc γ receptor IIB with the B-cell receptor in miR-155(-/-)-Fas(lpr) B cells resulted in decreased ERK activation, proliferation, and production of switched antibodies compared with miR-155 sufficient Fas(lpr) B cells. Thus, by controlling the levels of SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase 1, miR-155 in part maintains an activation threshold that allows B cells to respond to antigens.

The 4-Variable IQ Test
Their result for The 4-Variable IQ Test ...
20% interpersonal, 60% visual, 15% verbal and 5% mathematical!
Your strongest type of intelligence is Visual. You thrive on spatial thinking, shapes, patterns, and form. You're unlikely to be blind. You can probably think in 3D very easily. You are very likely to be attractive, based on only my most rudimentary anecdotal evidence. And you are likely to appreciate a good body in a lover.
Your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.
Your brain is roughly:
20% Interpersonal
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice to the world.
1. Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 20%.
2. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 25%.
3. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 50%.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 20% on interpersonal, higher than 41% of your peers.
They scored 60% on visual, higher than 99% of your peers.
They scored 15% on verbal, higher than 26% of your peers.
They scored 5% on mathematical, higher than 2% of your peers.

We stopped there for one night. They have nice very long pull-thrus with full hookups. That was perfect as we didn't have to unhook from our travel trailer. The owners are very nice and friendly. Helped us get settled on our site, Came back to make sure we had an 30/50 amp adapter. I would definitely stop there again. - Nathalie Bergeron

We stayed here as an overnight when nothing else could be found. Should have kept driving. Lady owner is very nice and folksy. Roads are dirt with a little gravel. We had a pull-through site and the motorhome was able to level. Water was accessed by pulling two hoses together and across to right side of the coach. Wires were hanging out of the conduit, no 50 amp breaker, just slap it in as quick as possible and hope for no arc. It was dependable with 122 volts on L-1 and 123 on L-2. Wiring worked but was scary looking. Lot of dust every where. One thing that can be said positive was a nice new looking pool with a lot of people swimming. Hookups were at the rear of the pull-through site. It would have taken at least 30 feet of sewer hose to reach the dump. - Ole Jake
Jun 2015 - $30.00
Stayed in the park for one night. Just wanted a place to plug into and drain the tanks and check e-mail. No Cable and no TV reception. WiFi was hit or miss, mostly miss. Site was fairly level and mostly dirt and gravel, it was raining so it was muddy. Had to use 40 feet of drain line to reach the septic connection but we were towing a car and it was a pull through and that's what we requested. - tlrpilot

Aug 2015 - $22.00
Nice but a tight place to get into if you are in a large motorhome unit greater than 35'. No drive through sites available. We stayed one night passing through, the 30 amp service was adequate but it tripped often due to a weak breaker in the box. We reported the problem to the maintenance staff and they were on it right away. We will stay again if in the area. - birdbrains

Sites are gravel or grass. The trees limbs need to be trimmed really bad to prevent damage to sides of coach. The owner did not seem to be concerned. 50/30 amp service with water and sewer.
The sign identifying the park location on the perimeter road was hanging down so we missed the turn and had to get back on interstate and return to the proper exit. - Gesmone1

It isn't a bad place and we'd stay again. Price is ridiculous: charging KOA rates for a run down campground. The good: it is quiet; safe; good utilities; convenient to the Interstate; owners are nice. The bad: price; price; no WiFi. It would not take much to spruce up the place and make it more presentable. - belgique

We enjoyed our overnight stay at this park. It was quiet, shaded and a nice change of pace. We had read such negative reviews and almost didn't stay but decided to take those reviews with a grain of salt. Glad we did. The price was a little high and the grounds could use a mow. We found the goats charming and only saw one cat. The pool was clean and grounds were clean. There are a few older campers but all located on the same side of the park. I felt safe and relaxed here. I would definitely stay again. - annieD

We camped here on a Sunday. Sites are reserved on weekends but many free sites by Sunday afternoon when we got there. I thought this was a lovely park with nice shade but not too much as we were able to use our dish with no problems. Full hookup site - back in. Asphalt pad was nice & level with picnic table & fire ring. Many wineries in the area & Hermann has a trolley that will pick you up at campground & take you to & from all of them for a low rate all day pass. We parked close to the road, however, and had a lot of traffic noise. We will definitely stay here again. - bgw5350
Oct 2013 - $30.00
We were at this park during the week of the last week of the Hermann Octoberfest, which is on the weekends in October. They only take reservations for the weekends and every site was booked with some reservations starting on Thursday. The full hookup sites were nicely graveled back-ins and pull-throughs. A few were long enough for big rigs. They are not that far away from the main highway through town and there is traffic noise during the day. With the windows closed, we did not hear anything at night. The electric/water sites are all back-ins in a large paved lot (RV length not really an issue for these sites). They are farther from the highway, but are a good distance across an atheletic field to the bathroom and showers. While the facilities were clean, the concrete floor needs repainting giving the appearance of being dirty. There were some trees for shade but we had no trouble placing the dish where we could get a satellite signal. 3G Verizon internet was slow as it is in many rural areas. We saw some folks walking their dogs or jogging but since the weather was cool, the park was not busy. - trailertraveler
Apr 2013 - $20.00
This park is probably quiet nice in the spring, but the weather was cold and rainy when we camped here, which caused the lower rating. There is a lot of road noise as the campground sits at the intersection of MO-19 and MO-100. The bathrooms were "closed for cleaning" the entire time we were there. There were a lot of local teens in the park after hours, which made it a little creepy. We paid for two nights, left after one night. - Glory Bee

Is there a way for me to import a pre-formatted text file somewhere instead of using the WP125 UI to do it?
Also, is there a way to randomize SOME of the slots, but not others?

on August 10, 2012 - 12:01 AM
, updated August 16, 2012 at 4:59 AM
The days of the hockey enforcer are dwindling. The tough guys aren't extinct yet, though. The Buffalo Sabres proved that Sunday night.
The Sabres added a mountain of a man to the organization on the opening day of free agency, signing 6-foot-8, 270-pound forward John Scott to a one-year deal worth $600,000. Scott, who has also played defense, has 22 fights in his 146 NHL games.
"John's size and toughness make him a difficult player to battle against," Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. "His physical play will be a valuable addition to our team."
The Sabres' need for toughness was exposed last season with the Milan Lucic-Ryan Miller debacle. No one stood up for the goaltender after Boston's hulking forward ran him over. Scott has shown he'll take on all comers. He had five fights last season while splitting the year with Chicago and the New York Rangers, including tilts with noted pugilists Deryk Engelland and Cam Janssen.
Scott has just one goal and five points in his four-year career. The 29-year-old from Edmonton started his career with the Minnesota Wild.
Small-scale signings like the Sabres' deal with Scott were the norm. Hockey folks said the same things over and over as July 1 approached. This is a small free agent class for the NHL. Available players with top-end talent are few and far between.
Given those overwhelming sentiments, it shouldn't have been a surprise the first day of free agency had the sizzle of a waterlogged sparkler.
The NHL's annual shopping spree started slowly Sunday. The biggest names decided to take their time digesting offers, leaving teams and other players at a standstill. A total of 42 players signed new deals, but only one of the deals topped $16 million on a day that sees contracts worth four or five times that.
The Buffalo Sabres lost one player when the market opened. Forward Brad Boyes signed a one-year, $1 million deal with the New York Islanders. Boyes, who had eight goals and 23 points in 65 games with the Sabres, took a $3 million pay cut.
The Sabres had no plans to re-sign Boyes. He made it very clear he had no intention of staying in Buffalo with coach Lindy Ruff.
During an interview with CBC Sports that was posted before he signed with the Isles, Boyes said one of his biggest priorities was playing for a coach who would communicate with him and give him an opportunity to excel in a well-defined role.
"I want to play for a coach that I respect a lot, and that'll go a long way in the way that I play," Boyes told CBC. "That starts by communicating with off-ice stuff, saying hi, asking how the family is. Those things go a long way. I'm just looking for a coach that will do that to begin with. Once you get the personal side, then it's the hockey stuff, with the coach communicating what he likes or doesn't like about your play.
"I don't need someone telling me every game, every minute or every shift if I've done something good or bad, but every once in a while it's nice to hear some communication either way to know you're part of the team and feel important.
"I'll take what I can from last year, but I'm looking at next year to really getting back to having fun and playing on a team that wants me there and I want to be a part of."
The Islanders signed Boyes to fill a void left by one of the top players to write his name on a contract Sunday. Winger P.A. Parenteau, who had 18 goals and 67 points in New York last season, agreed to a four-year, $16 million deal with Colorado.
The Avalanche also made news with a player they ultimately didn't sign. The team's Twitter account reported the Avs had come to terms with unrestricted free agents John Mitchell and Matt Carkner, with an official announcement to follow. The agent for Carkner quickly denied the Avs' statement, and the defensemen signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract with the Islanders.
"I don't know if they were trying to exchange information for my address to make an official offer, and somewhere along the line someone must have confused Colorado, saying that maybe I accepted the deal," Carkner told NHL.com. "I never told anyone that, but things like this happen. We called Colorado and apologized right away. We didn't mean to mislead them at all. It ended up a couple of hours later I agreed to terms with the Islanders."
No NHL team came to terms with left wing Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, the top prizes on the market. Parise and Suter received offers but decided to mull them at least overnight.
It created a logjam for organizations in the mix because they didn't want to go in a different direction while there was still a chance at landing the All-Stars. Defenseman Jason Garrison earned the largest contract Sunday, agreeing to a six-year, $27.6 million deal with Vancouver. Garrison had 16 goals and 33 points with the Florida Panthers last year.
Dallas signed 40-year-old winger Ray Whitney to a two-year, $9 million deal after he put up 24 goals and 53 assists with Phoenix.
Shane Doan, Whitney's former teammate in the desert, will wait until next Monday to decide where he'll play. The Coyotes' captain wants to stay in Phoenix but is waiting to see if the team's muddled ownership situation can be cleared up next week.
Ottawa, meanwhile, traded forward Nick Foligno to Columbus for defenseman Marc Methot. Foligno is the brother of Buffalo forward Marcus Foligno and son of Mike Foligno. Nick Foligno had 15 goals and 47 points in 82 games with the Senators.
"Nick is a versatile, durable two-way player who at age 24 is coming off the best season of his career," Blue Jackets General Manager Scott Howson said.
The Anaheim Ducks signed defenseman Sheldon Souray to a three-year, $11 million deal and agreed to terms with defenseman Bryan Allen on another three-year deal.

Toyota recently announced that they would be scaling back on pure EV development in favor of more work on their hybrids, a market where they are seeing continued growth. Though sales of plug-in vehicles on the whole have increased this year, it has been the Chevy Volt which has made up the bulk of these sales, while sales of pure electrics like the Nissan Leaf have fallen well short of expectations. Though no automakers which have started down the battery path have yet to throw in the towel, the grim realities of the market for pure EV models mean that automakers are starting to look elsewhere for the next big thing in alternative fuels. Hydrogen has been seen as a pipe dream by many for some time, but changes in the alternative fuels market seem to have left an opening.
CNN reports that with battery EVs moving to the back burner, vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells are now looking to overtake them as a priority for automakers. Honda already offered a fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX Clarity, for lease to select customers in California in very small numbers. But Hyundai will be leasing a hydrogen-powered version of the Tucson for the mass market starting next month. Their plan is to have 1,000 units on the road by 2015 and to be producing 10,000 units annually after that. Toyota and Honda have also announced plans to have mass market hydrogen cars on the road by 2015, and several other automakers have begun development as well.
Each technology has something which the other cannot offer, so it has been difficult for automakers to decide on which direction to move. Hydrogen can offer longer range and quicker refueling times than battery vehicles, and by an absolutely huge margin at that. But production of hydrogen fuel is at present very inefficient, and battery cars make much more efficient use energy. Proponents of each say the technologies will improve to the point of being universally practical, but it's still not clear which one or how. Hyundai has a plan for this though. They say that the new hydrogen technology will be used for larger vehicles and batteries for smaller vehicles, at least for the foreseeable future. It's a sounds strategy, but more than anything, this shift shows just how difficult it is to predict the future, and that it is still very much up in the air.

Well, to totally go against my previous comment, TuneX seems to be working like butter (the MacAppADay distro) and I've had no problems since installation. Runs in the background without any slowdown, but can choke a bit if shuffling through songs too fast. I'll have to re-rate this app with a B+ for all of the above.

"What Good Are Words For?"
"This Movie's A Blast"
For a movie buff like me, today's strip rings a big bell!
Don't FRET, DeGroots.
The Network will Crank the Sound UP in time for the Commercials……,
If it's a modern film, the dialogue is inconsequential anyway —
the important part is the SFX…. And the SEX.
And it seems some movie makers think the people are coming to see the action and the 'blowey-uppy" stuff, and not the acting…
It's also funny that, at times, the subtitles don't at all match what was actually said, or are full of typos and other mistakes.
And it's ironic that the mirophone that they use for dialogue in movies is known as a boom mic…..
it started with brando…
Some movies are like that. I think that when they mixed the sound tracks with Foley and music someone goofed on volume. Sometimes the music over rides the dialog.
Also, by Miracle Film Studio – If it's fit to watch, it's a Miracle..
AMEN !! The best movies are driven mostly by theater – the way the different characters see the truth. Both the harsh realities and the humor come from this. SO YOU NEED TO HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING !! However some audiences get their rush mostly from good looking actors, gunfire & explosions, sight gags and one liners. And I guess the cool guys all mumble these days – so that only the cool young guys can hear them…
Not to mention that sometimes the subtitles obstruct the picture.
Back when I watched it, CSI Miami would run the music louder than the dialog. One ended up turning down the noise and then turning on the captions.
It's like the sound mixing was done by someone who'd never done it before.
One thing I really dislike about the programs of the last ten years is the going from triple piano to quadruple forte and back again in less than a second. It's hard to keep up with the volume control.
aw man, totally relate. Wanted to watch LoTR online and only one video that didn't buff on me, but the volume differences between scene to scene were ridiculous. One scene you can hear the dialogue perfectly, next it'd be so ridiculously quiet you can't hear it even with sound jacked up (and they're not even whispering!), and next thing you know, your ears are bleeding by the sudden sound blast.
Later found full movie on YouTube, but it was broken into a ton of small sections. On the other hand, the volume was balanced for everything. Guess I can't win :P
So true! Frank and Nancy have enunciated one of my peeves: I am constantly turning up the volume for dialogue or down for "dramatic scoring" and what IamJayBluE calls the "blowey-uppy" stuff when I watch movies on my computer (which is pretty much the only way I do cinema nowadays).
My wife wears hearing aids and I suffer from frequency loss. We greatly appreciate subtitles, and it frustrates me when films don't include English for the Hearing Impaired.

RexA Mother, Her Autistic Child, and the Music That Transformed Their Lives
By CATHLEEN LEWIS
Thomas NelsonCopyright © 2008 Cathleen Lewis
All right reserved.
Chapter OneBeginning
Fear not that thy life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning. -John Henry Cardinal
I was pregnant-very pregnant. I looked down at my belly and hugged it ... and him. We knew it was a he; rather, "he" was a boy. I'd get it right. We'd give him a name soon, but it had to be the perfect name. Anything less would be, well, not quite perfect. My husband, William, and I had both wanted a boy, William being South African and macho, and me being-or rather having been-a tomboy. Admittedly, I was still quite in love with sports and my husband and the world! I was giddy, that's the word. I was foolishly, schoolgirlishly giddy! Three weeks from delivery, and I was in this growing state of excitement, of anticipation that was growing with my belly, growing with the little boy who had my profile. The ultrasound had captured the image of my pug nose-it was unmistakable. That's when the beautiful reality had really struck home.
I knew that much of this euphoria was because I had waited so long to have a child. Thirty-six is not old in absolute terms, but it felt so in baby-bearing years. And it was in my thirty-sixth year that the ticking of my biological clock had begun to resound louder and louder, gripping me like so many women around my age. Fortunately for me, I was also a newlywed. After being wrapped up in my professional life in France for twelve years, I had moved home the year before and had met the man of my dreams. He had just arrived from South Africa, here for a week on business; and because I'd lived abroad for so long, it felt in a way like we were both foreigners. Meeting on a typically sunny day in Los Angeles, there had been something fateful in our instant bond. It had the smack of destiny. I knew that was the stuff of romance novels, not real life, but in a world this big and random, that kind of chance meeting had to be written in the stars.
I sighed a contented sigh and hugged my tummy again.
It had been such an easy pregnancy. No morning sickness to speak of, and my Lamaze training had me fully confident the birth itself would go just as smoothly.
That's why the phone dropped from my hand as I heard the doctor's words through the line. "The ultrasound shows the presence of a suspicious mass in the brain of the fetus." I felt a sharp pain grip my belly. Or was it just in my mind? I'd had my appointment that morning, and the doctor had reviewed the scan right in front of me and had said nothing! No, the opposite, in fact-he'd been all smiles. That's why I'd been on such a new mother's high all day! And now he was dropping this bombshell over the phone? The doctor explained that he'd wanted to look at the film more closely before advising me. That was the reason he hadn't said anything.
"It wasn't there a month ago," he went on, as though that might console a soon-to-be first-time mother about the fact that there was something "foreign" in her baby's brain. I knew it hadn't been there a month ago. What did he think, that I would have forgotten that little bit of news? That I would have remembered my baby's upturned nose but not the "suspicious mass"? I tried to calm myself down so I could just listen. But he didn't have anything more to say. He couldn't tell me what the "mass" might be. More extensive ultrasounds were needed to determine that. And they needed to be done immediately.
After a battery of more detailed imaging, a conclusive diagnosis was made-the mass was an anachroid cyst. That's what they said was in my baby's head-a gigantic, fluid-filled cyst. "It's benign," a new doctor said, this one in charge of high-definition imaging at Cedars-Sinai Hospital. The word "benign" was meant to be a reassurance. I knew that, but I was only partially relieved because I was confused by the terminology. I struggled with that word being used to describe something that filled up a quarter of my baby's head and wasn't supposed to be there. In practical, nonemotional terms, the doctors told me it meant it wouldn't endanger his life. Although I needed to deliver him quickly, the doctors could wait a few weeks to operate-critical weeks that would allow him to gain some weight, some resistance, before undergoing what would be an invasive surgery.
I consoled myself with the fact that the problem was repairable. The doctors had even told me there are adults who have lived their whole lives with cysts in their brains without even being aware of them. I was lulled into the idea that the thing really was innocuous after all. A problem that simply had to be dealt with. Once the surgery was over, we could get on with our lives-our "broken" son would be fixed, and William and I could go back to dreams and plans for our future.
Rex came into the world so easily, bypassing all the trials and traumas of labor. Delivered by C-section to avoid any potential trauma to his brain, his face had the look of an angel-bald and pure and perfect, not the look you associate with typical newborns in their ruddy, rough-and-tumble state. Tiny feet with crooked toenails-certainly they'd straighten out in time-and perfect hands. Long, slim fingers adorned by exquisitely sculpted nails. I didn't know a newborn baby could be so magnificently formed. And then there was his crowning glory in William's book-his shoulders! They'd caused quite a stir when the delivering doctor exclaimed, "Would you look at the shoulders on this boy!" as William and I awaited a first glimpse of our son. There he was, our little boy. We would name him Rex. Short, to the point, tough. A good boy's name. And it meant "king." Rex.
At eight weeks, weighing in at ten pounds, our baby was deemed strong enough to withstand the surgical procedure, which necessitated a four-inch incision down the center of a skull that wasn't much bigger than that. The neurosurgeon was going to cut holes in the cyst in numerous places so that it would drain and deflate like a rubber ball. When I asked why they couldn't just remove the whole thing, the doctor told me that the cyst was so large it was completely enmeshed in brain tissue; to take it out, they'd have to remove half of our son's brain with it!
I willed myself to be strong, as though I could counter Rex's own fragility. Our baby seemed much too small to have to undergo something so big. I tried to focus on the thought that it would soon be over, and I forced myself to keep my emotions and mind in check. And my husband was stoic-a little too stoic in my opinion. I wasn't sure whether it was a man thing, a South African thing, or maybe just a William thing I'd never encountered before
We waited in terse silence outside the intensive care unit. The procedure had gone smoothly, or so we'd been told-the cyst had been properly "fenestrated." Now we were waiting for our son to come down from recovery to the ICU where he would be interned for several days. It seemed to be taking forever. Was something wrong? Suddenly the silence was broken by the sounds of commotion as the hall door swung open, and in rushed a fleet of very big people, or so they seemed. They hovered over the bed they were hustling toward the intensive care unit. At first, all I could see of the occupant of that bed was a network of tubes, intertwining plastic life support for an unseen patient. Those people all but obscured their tiny ten-pound patient, but it was definitely him-Rex! My heart leaped, and so did I! I jockeyed for position to look on his face as he was hustled past us. Like a football team running their precious cargo protectively into the end zone, preventing any interference from the opposition, they hovered in a cloud of urgency that made Rex seem even smaller and more fragile. But there was no way they were going to get past this mother without my at least being able to look into my son's eyes. I lunged behind the bed as they hurried past, my reflexes sharpened by a potent cocktail of anxiety and love. Luckily, Rex's head was tilted backward so he was actually facing me.
That's when I saw his eyes. I felt the air being knocked out of me as they pierced right through me. Rex's eyes were frozen, transfixed on me, as though he was just waiting for an explanation. It seemed like his eyes were pleading for a reason. "There is no reason," I wanted to tell him. As I continued watching him, his eyes boring through me, I felt the steely bond of love being forged between us. For, although I'd loved Rex from the moment he was born, even from the moment I'd felt his presence in my womb, there was something new to this feeling-it was raw and all-consuming, both maternal and fiercely protective. Some mothers feel the surge grip their heart the moment they stare into their newborn child's face; for others it grows over time. With some, sadly, it never comes. For me it was in that moment, like an arrow piercing my heart.
REX'S LOOK that day would haunt me for years-the look of innocence and pleading-stalking me relentlessly at night. But I had misread the glazed stare. As a mother, I should have been able to know what was really there in my son's eyes. But I hadn't been able to see past their intense opacity and my own sense of blame and recrimination. The truth would only be revealed to me two months later by one more doctor, one more piece of information. This news would give new meaning to forever-time would shift and space would go askew. How could I have not known? Rex hadn't been staring at me that day in the hospital, his eyes pleading. The fact was he'd never even seen me. I knew that now.
I REMEMBERED how brightly the sun had been shining on the afternoon I learned the truth-how vibrantly autumn had worn its colored robe. The sun was soon to lose its gloss, and I would never again see fall colors in the same way. I had made an appointment with the ophthalmologist at Children's Hospital because I had wanted to have Rex's eyes checked. The trauma of the brain surgery had lessened by this time, and I had become concerned about the increasing movement in his eyes. They fluttered, not really fixing well on objects. Sometimes he seemed to be tracking like he should; at other times he did not, giving his eyes a random appearance. I didn't know if he needed a corrective patch or perhaps a minor surgery to fix them. Compared to what we'd been through already, my husband didn't think it would be a big deal, so he didn't accompany me.
The ophthalmologist finished the eye exam, shining a light in my son's eyes and peering in through his loupe as I stood watching. He finally asked me to sit down. As I sat facing him, he wrote some notes on a page. Waiting for him to explain what was needed to correct Rex's eyes became unbearable, the suspense forcing me to interrupt.
"So Doctor, what can we do to help Rex focus his eyes?" I asked, struggling not to sound too impatient.
I watched the doctor's face as he wrote the last couple of words on the page. A brief flash of emotion was stamped out by what appeared to be professional conditioning, and he was inscrutable as he laid his pen on the desk pad with finality. Only a sole audible breath, one of resignation, betrayed any emotion as he fixed his eyes on mine.
"There's nothing to be done," he began, then paused heavily. I wasn't following; I still didn't know where he was going. The doctor's eyes held mine, and he just said it: "Your son is blind."
I felt my body disconnecting from my mind in the most bizarre way upon hearing those words. His tone had been so matter-of-fact delivering such a brutal, unexpected blow. I felt the blow in my gut, but my mind went numb, unable to really grasp what he'd just said. He waited for a reaction. I was in shock, I suppose. I wasn't crying, but he extended a box of tissues to me anyway. Maybe he knew it wouldn't be long before the import of his words would hit me. He was probably used to the floodgates bursting.
I've since reflected on the best way to tell someone her child is blind, and maybe he did have to say it just like that. It seemed hard to me, like a sucker punch. But at the end of the day, there really is nothing that can be said to lighten the blow. Blind is blind. That's my conclusion, and it's so absolute that any sugarcoating is futile. The ophthalmologist told me Rex's blindness was caused by a congenital condition called optic nerve hypoplasia, which meant "underdevelopment of the optic nerves."
To me it simply meant the impossible, the unthinkable-Rex would live his life in darkness. It meant that my child, who had survived the horrors of invasive brain surgery at eight weeks, would never see. I couldn't quite connect to the reality of it all-it was just too big, like they were trying to snuff out my baby's life before he'd even had a chance to live it. I sat there listening to the doctor's spiel about the condition, but I just wanted to flee.
"The problem isn't with Rex's eyes," the doctor explained. "It's with the optic nerves."
"What do you mean? I don't know what an optic nerve is."
"It's a nerve that connects the eye to the brain," he said. "Light hits the eye, then it travels through the optic nerve to the brain, where it's translated into an image. So, in order to have good vision, three parts have to work normally-the eye, the optic nerve, and the brain."
"Okay," I said numbly, struggling to focus on the science of it, as tremors began to seize my body. I willed myself not to break into pieces right on the spot. I need to get the information-emotions only get in the way; hold them in check, just for a few minutes. Miraculously, I managed to disconnect my heart from my mind.
"Well, what's wrong with Rex's optic nerves?"
"They're underdeveloped. They're much smaller than normal, healthy optic nerves. And typically, optic nerves have millions of tiny fibers that serve to convert the light of the world into images. Rex's optic nerves have far fewer fibers than normal. Even if the light makes it through, he doesn't have enough fibers for his brain to make sense of it."
"How did this happen, Doctor?" I asked pathetically, letting my emotions seep through now. "I had an easy pregnancy, then three weeks before he was due to be delivered they found a cyst in my baby's brain, and now you're telling me he's blind too? That he was born blind! This is not supposed to happen. Babies are not supposed to be born blind!" My voice and emotions rose in a crescendo, and I was wiping my eyes with the proffered tissues now.
"We don't know exactly what causes it, but we believe it happens at around ten weeks gestation since that's when the optic nerves are formed," he said. "Most of the neurological wiring is also being laid at that time. So that could also have been when the seed for Rex's cyst was laid, even if it didn't blossom until much later in the pregnancy." He told me there were other incidences of children with optic nerve hypoplasia who'd also been born with a brain cyst. "The two could be related," he said, in what sounded more like a question than an answer.
"But you have no idea what causes either?" I asked in a tone of utter disbelief that said, "I want accountability."
"Nothing conclusive," he said, launching into an explanation that sounded like he was reading from a textbook. "But we do know that there were fewer than one hundred known cases of optic nerve hypoplasia documented in the century up to 1970, then during the seventies there were hundreds of cases, during the eighties, thousands, and now it's a major cause of blindness in infants. We think it must be environmental." Amazingly, I was taking it in, as though shock had sent me into a hyper-lucid state. But then, my emotions began closing in from all sides.
Nothing conclusive, environmental, we don't know why! Blind, blind, blind! Those were the words that swirled through my mind as I stumbled out of the doctor's office, assaulted now by an unremitting noonday sun. I was horrified at the thought of telling my husband and felt like the whole thing was some sort of surreal nightmare. The world as I had known it had simply and irrevocably ceased to exist in the space of an instant. No one could even tell me why, give me a reason. It just happened! Just like that! Like we'd drawn the "blind" ticket in a great baby lottery. The doctor had provided me with a straw to grasp. "Children with optic nerve hypoplasia may develop some vision as they grow older. Some do; some don't. We don't really know why."

How do specify that I want one post one the homepage without effecting the category pages?
If you go to your administration page, click on OPTIONS - READING and check out the options that area gives you. You can limit your front page to be a static page or show at most, 1 post which will be your most recently published post.
But this also affects my category pages.
Well, you could specify your homepage to show a static page that you created which wouldn't effect your category pages and the number of posts shown.
Isn't there an other option like the category_name statement but then specified for the homepage? Maybe the is_home statement?
There is a new home page function that has been added to WordPress 2.5 but is not available in in earlier versions. It's called is_front but has already undergone some changes.
Introduction of a new template tag is_front() which is only true on the front page of a WordPress install (#3682).
Renaming of is_front() to is_front_page() to avoid conflict with bbPress.
Anyways, might want to give that is_front_page a search in the codex and see what to do.
Thanks for your replies Jeffro!!
Is this what you mean? My blog has two posts on the homepage http://lepixelshoppe.com/scrap4dollars
I used this line instead of the usual get header line of code:
<?php get_header(); query_posts('posts_per_page=2'); ?>
Change 2 to what ever number of posts you want to display. It doesn't change my categories or archives.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

'ralcorInvite-run' => __( 'A player invites a fan.', 'dpa' ),
Where the action is:
foreach ( $friends as $key => $friend )
$mail = wp_mail( $email, invfr_tokens_replacement( $subject, $_POST, $key ), invfr_tokens_replacement( $message, $_POST, $key ), invfr_tokens_replacement( $headers, $_POST, $key ) );
if( $mail )
echo 'sent';
Everything from the plugin I'm trying to nest the action into is working, but is not triggering the action, and not awarding the achievement. It's not tied to any actual function, it's just trying to do the action.
Apologies, as PHP is not easy for me.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
