Yesterday wordpress was upgraded on my site, but some kind of a problem occured. I received an e-mail saying that:
"The problem was directory /home/artsevestre/skyemarineconcern.org/wordpress doesn't exist! Unable to upgrade!"
When I tried to access the site, the only thing I could access was a page where I had to enter the site name, a username and a password. I did that, and then got a message congratulating me with my new wordpress site!
When I now access the page, I get a new empty site layout. All the content seems to be gone.
However, when I access it with an ftp-client, it looks as if the content is still on the server. How can I get the content back on the page?

The sys admin's daily grind: iWatch
In a Minute
Recently, sys admin Charly was faced with the task of synchronizing a directory on a server with two NFS-mounted clients. He wanted the whole thing to happen quickly and to be easily manageable, which ruled out DRBD and GlusterFS.
My sync setup looks roughly like this: An application server cyclically reads values from a database, generates HTML files and some images, and dumps everything in the
/source directory. I use NFS 4 to mount the
/dest1 and
/dest2 directories. When any new data arrives in
/source, I want it to reach the two target directories
/dest1 and
Simple and Been Here for Years
Because complex solutions are out of the question, actually the only option left is to dump the task on inotify subsystem's plate. Inotify has been part of the kernel since 2.6.13 and provides an interface to filesystem events for userspace programs.
Apart from incron [1], I've hardly found a use for it so far, but it should be ideal for quick syncing of directories – or at least, these were my ideas on the matter. What was missing was the right tool for the task. Some quick research brought to light two candidates: lsyncd [2] and iWatch [3], but I'll focus on iWatch here.
The monitor is suitable for operation in the foreground or as a daemon. In the simplest case, I just monitor a single directory without triggering an action:
iwatch -r /var
iWatch then reports:
[ 6/May/2014 20:49:30] IN_CREATE/var/tmp/etilqs_SqorfaOvdiBaBI7 [ 6/May/2014 20:49:30] IN_DELETE/var/tmp/etilqs_SqorfaOvdiBaBI7
-c <action> parameter tells iWatch to respond to events. To avoid all these parameters from hell, a configuration file, as shown in Figure 1, seemed to be a better option. The exciting part of the configuration is in the
<path> tag. Here
type = recursive tells iWatch to include directories below
/source as well.
In case of a filesystem event, the mechanism starts the
/home/charly/bash/sync.sh shell script. iWatch passes in the
%f variable to the script. The variable resolves to the full path of the file that has changed. The script
sync.sh, in turn, is a lean two-liner:
#!/bin/bash rsync -a --delete $1 /dest1/$1 & rsync -a --delete $1 /dest2/$1 &
This method works quite well as long as the number of events to be processed does not increase exorbitantly. If it does – such as when syncing a six-digit number of very small files that the server writes to disk at maximum speed on the plate – you could experience a considerable number of queued rsync processes. Not that this would ever happen to me <cough>!

In French traduction of The Event Calendar, title in widget area is "Upcoming Events" in place of "Evènements à venir"
Can you fix this bug of translation?
Hi Thantosus,
Unfortunately, not all of the available translations are 100% complete at this time, "so no guarantees that everything will be translated."
Guidelines for working on language files are published at:
You didn't understand me well.
All the rest of this plugin is in french all translation in french works, even the phrase "Upcoming events" is translated in the *.po files but on the first page of my site its shows me "Upcoming events". WP is parametred in french.
What can i do?
Hey Thantosus. Thanks for reaching out, and for your clarification point. If I understand your issue correctly, might this thread be of value (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-404-error-on-foreign-language-pages?replies=3)? Let us know if not.
Thank you for your reponse. Not I think that it's not. I'll give the link to the site and you will see it.
All whole site is in French even The Event Calendar. But only the phrase Upcoming Events is in english and it dont want to change itself.
Thanks for the link to your site.
"Upcoming Events" appears the be the title of the widget, which should be easy to change. From the admin dashboard, [in English] go to Appearance, then Widgets. Find the Widget called Events List Widget. Find the doropdown arrow for that widget in your sidebar, change the title, and save.
The link would be: /wp-admin/widgets.php
Thank you very much! That worked!
Awesome! Going to go ahead and mark this RESOLVED since it seems like we're set here, but let me know if I'm wrong in doing so and we can revisit as needed. Thanks a lot for confirming as much...and to Bradley, as always, for his help. Cheers man.

The Daily Word in our high-tech legacy, Darren White and a dry river
By August March [ Thu Jul 28 2016 11:34 AM ]
Our city's high-tech legacy should be leveraged toward tourism and convention growth, say experts in the travel and airline industry.

DOJ Federal Monitor James Ginger will release his third report on APD reform efforts today.
Former Bernalillo County Sheriff and New Mexico Secretary of Public Safety Darren White says, "This year I can't back the GOP," and has consequently endorsed his former boss, Gary Johnson, for POTUS.
High temperatures, sparse rainfall and the subsequent need for more water by farmers along the middle Rio Grande have resulted in a 17 mile section of the river running dry.
Trout fishing along the Pecos River can be enhanced by using simulators, bead-head prince nymphs or worms; meanwhile try angling at Isleta Lakes in the early morning while using garlic chicken liver or shrimp as bait.

Four N.M. Romance Authors Join Forces
Press Release [ Thu Jun 30 2016 10:00 AM ]
Paranormal author Darynda Jones, along with romance authors Celeste Bradley, Susan Donovan and Katie Lane, join forces at 4pm on Saturday, July 2, to celebrate a "Hot, Sultry Summer of Love" at Page One Books with their latest releases.
Bradley's I Thee Wed is teased as such: "Intelligent and driven, Orion Worthington aspired to be like his mentor, the acclaimed scientist Sir Geoffrey Blayne. Logically, Sir Geoffrey's daughter would be Orion's perfect match. So why can't he keep his mind off the unruly girl who works in Sir Geoffrey's lab? Orphaned fire-cracker Francesca Penrose hopes that London is modern enough to accept her brilliant mind despite her womanhood. But she can't help noticing Orion's mind ... or his body. So they decide to run an experiment: if they give in to their passions, their attraction will simply fizzle out, with no impact on their hearts ... right?"
In Donovan's "Bayberry" novel, "It might take more than a magical mermaid statue to bring together a hard-headed Navy SEAL and the mysterious artist who's loved him from afar ... Duncan Flynn long ago said goodbye to his hometown of Bayberry Island, Mass., where a mermaid statue allegedly grants true love to the pure at heart. So when the injured Navy SEAL gets sent home—just in time to help his family prepare for the annual Mermaid Festival—he's not in the mood to celebrate. Nor fall in love. But during a night run on the beach, a magnificently naked woman emerges from the surf who bears an uncanny resemblance to the mermaid in Fountain Square. Adelena Silva's otherworldly mermaid paintings have made her famous and wealthy, but Lena herself is a recluse—at least until Duncan Flynn comes home."
And Lane's Billionaire After Dark is thus described: "It's an undisputed fact that Nash Beaumont is the hottest of the Beaumont brothers. His slow, sensual smile charms every French Kiss employee-and tempts every woman to buy the company's lingerie. But beneath Nash's raw charisma is a dark, kinky side that he struggles to control ... a side that may be exposed by one lovely—and unexpectedly adventurous woman. Reporter Eden Huckabee needs a story. And when she discovers Nash's dirty little secret, she thinks she's found it. But Eden doesn't count on Nash turning the tables on her—or that she will fall so deeply for this unbelievably sexy, one-in-a-billion Beaumont."
Jones, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, won a Golden Heart Award for best paranormal for her manuscript First Grave On The Right. As a born storyteller, she grew up spinning tales of dashing damsels and heroes in distress for any unfortunate soul who happened by, annoying man and beast alike. Jones moved to Albuquerque from Portales in 2015 with her husband. They have two sons.
Bradley is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than twenty Regency romance novels, including The Wicked Worthington, The Runaway Bride, The Heiress Brides, The Royal Four, and The Liar's Club series. She has twice been nominated for the RITA award by the Romance Writers of America. Before becoming a writer in 1999, Celeste was an artist, specializing in pottery and ceramic sculpture. Shes lives in Albuquerque.
Donovan is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of dozens of novels, including The Sweetest Summer and Sea of Love, and a novella in Christmas on Main Street. She lives in Placitas.
Lane started writing in fifth grade when she wrote a fictional story about being a skirt(yes, you read that correctly. The story was told in first-skirt rather than first-person). Since then, she's stuck to telling stories about people. Going Cowboy Crazy was her first "Deep in the Heart of Texas" novel. She lives in Albuquerque with her high school sweetheart.

Standing the Test of Time
Paul Oakenfold Remains Electronic Supreme
By Megan Reneau [ Mon Jun 27 2016 4:05 PM ]
Once when discussing clubs and venues in central New Mexico with a young promoter, I asked him what his favorite venue in the area was. "The Stage, probably. That's the kinda shit they have in Vegas," he told me. Not that I've ever been to a club or a casino in Las Vegas, but I have to admit he's right. Just a short walk away from the front of Santa Ana Star Casino is their club The Stage is a local club I've never been to. I hadn't ever gone there before because of the price of tickets (usually) and the distance from Albuquerque. I've realized the decision has been misguided because the quality of The Stage as a venue is incredible.
The space is beautiful and dark: It has dark flooring, black walls and minimal lighting. The most well-lit areas are the stage, the walking area on the bottom floor, the bar and the bathroom. And it's all so lustrous and clean! I've been to a clean club once in my life and that was in Chicago.
The first opener was playing as I walked in and ordered drinks with my friend. I didn't know who the openers were, so I asked the bartender who didn't know either, but found out for me quickly. We went upstairs and set up camp for the evening waiting to see Paul Oakenfold watching and listening to Brandon J, the first act then later GRUM, the second.
Brandon J played atmospheric trance and had interestingly complex buildups and drops. GRUM played more club trance, but overall I found him underwhelming. While I understand openers are there to get the crowd warmed up, that doesn't mean their sets have to be uninteresting. Near the end of each set the two individual DJs really stepped it up, so I could see that they could do much better though the crowd didn't get to see much of it. Regardless, the crowd was really into each performer. A direct quote from my notes: the crowd fucking loves it.
As Paul Oakenfold took the stage the crowd applauded and cheered. Immediately I was impressed (although not surprised) by his obvious mastery of his craft. His melodies were intricate and interweaving; I never really noticed when they changed just that they had. At the beginning of the set he wove in a woman saying "I love when we play together," an obvious nod to his fans thanking them for coming out.
Oakenfold can entwine melodies and genres unlike anyone I've heard before. The transition is often flawless for listeners. He started the two hour set with traditional trance then to rave trance house then anthem trance then club trance house then ended with dance trance. The small differences between the sub-genres are small but noticeable; through that he was able to control how the energy of the crowd and how they moved and danced.
The visuals to accompany his music certainly got my attention: videos of him walking, DJing, playing cards, skiing and snowmobiling were the majority, but there were some shorts of him as a lego character DJing which I thought was adorable. This 52 year old man who is critically acclaimed, has scored films and is one of the forefathers of the electronic genre as we know it today is into Legos. Like I said, adorable.
The audience was diverse, containing every type of person from businessmen to ravers. Throughout the show they all went wild. The dance floor was packed with sweaty bodies swaying and jumping every moment, there were few lulls. The energy of the room, even as high as it was, was fairly tame compared to other electronic shows I've been to. There were few people who were obviously on some kind of drug or outrageously drunk, and even though I like that there weren't any large disturbances (aside from a few people climbing onto the stage to talk to Oakenfold who always responded by smiling, chatting and touching his fans' hands), it does make for a pretty uneventful night.
Near the end of his set, Oakenfold mixed in a few of his classics like "Otherside," "Ready Steady Go!" and "Southern Sun." I was honestly hoping he would play "Starry Eyed Surprise" which was a collaboration with the musician Shifty from 2002 but it's not exactly a club song, so I resentfully understand.
At the last ten minutes of his set, Oakenfold had numerous buildups and drops. After the final, gentle drop at 1:55am, I left quickly, excited to sit down in my car with my friend after standing and swaying for the last four hours.
It was a long night, but the final quality of the show and venue has swayed me to return one day, not just for another show review like this, but as a casual member of the public.
Rhapsody in Burque
Infi-knit Autumn
By Monica Schmitt [ Mon Jun 27 2016 3:44 PM ]
If it were up to me, everyone living in Albuquerque would receive an enormous reward—maybe a freezer full of gelato or a trip to Alaska or a million dollars—for enduring the summer heat. Since I'm not in charge of positively reinforcing residents for tolerating hell, I just have to make do with what I have. Which, in this case, is the Yarn Store.
The quaint shop is located in Nob Hill just North of Central, and the murals make it an unmistakable destination. Hands woven out of colorful yarn that are holding knitting needles cover the entire back wall while an equally colorful collection of shapes spreads across the smaller side wall. I didn't particularly need any craft supplies when I walked by the other day, but the paint jobs and prospect of air conditioning are enough to lure anyone inside.
A gust of air swept over me as I walked through the small front door. To my right were a couple of women working on projects and laughing together at a wooden table. I smiled and ventured further inside, admiring color-coordinated arrangements of all kinds of yarn. Cotton blends, plant blends and local fibers, to name a few. Skeins of yarn sat happily in cubbies, sorted with similar colors. One wall had crochet hooks and knitting needles; another room was dedicated solely to needlepoint work where an adorable collection of buttons sat beneath rows of string in every imaginable hue. My old lady tendencies took over, and I couldn't help but get really excited about sitting down with a ball of yarn and starting to plan which colors would make good hats, and who in my friend circle might like another knitted Christmas gift this year ...
Walking through the store is like being transported to a different time, or at least a different season. It's a dip into autumn whenever your heart desires, and for me, that's pretty much always. I was drawn to the rusty orange and olive green tones and suddenly felt like it was a crisp fall day instead of what it actually was: the middle of June.
Throughout the store are pockets of project areas, where cushions and chairs welcome anyone to grab a seat and get to work. And it's no problem if you're not sure where to start; a bookshelf overflowing with how-to guides and Knitting for Dummies is strategically placed next to a few work spaces, inviting you to flip through and find whatever inspiration you're looking for.
As I moseyed through the back of the store, touching soft wool overflowing from wicker baskets and admiring difficult-looking patterns, something moved on top of the shelf in the corner of my eye. Startled, I turned around to find a cat lounging behind a knitting magazine. The sleepy Yarn Store resident blinked a couple times, yawned and let me scratch his belly before resuming his catnap. Another reason to visit this place, clearly. If you haven't been and even vaguely like crafting, go. Go for inspiration, go for a smile, go to expand your knowledge of alpaca wool, and definitely go to escape into a room full of cozy reminders that sweater weather will come again.

I had an awful experience with Agriya. The freelancer required an initial payment to begin a $3,000 project. After I made the $1000 usd payment the company did not contact me for 5 days. When they finally surfaced they then disappeared for another 6 days. After 12 days with very little communication I began trying to just cancel the project and get a refund. It was a very bad experience with Agriya. Their phone numbers are not connected, live chat does not work, and communication is very bad. I have not received my refund after numerous assurances that they will send it.
I found this company on freelancer.com and while the reviews on freelancer are good, I wish read all the negative reviews all over the internet.

Mantan Moreland (September 3, 1902 – September 28, 1973) was an American actor and comedian most popular in the 1930s and 1940s.[1][2]
Born in Monroe, Louisiana, to Frank, an old-time Dixie band leader, and Marcella,[3] Moreland began acting by the time he was an adolescent, running away to join a minstrel show in 1910.[3] By the late 1920s, he had made his way through vaudeville, working with various shows and revues, performing on Broadway and touring Europe. Initially, Moreland appeared in low-budget "race movies" aimed at African-American audiences, but as his comedic talents came to be recognized, he received roles in larger productions.
Monogram Pictures signed Moreland to appear opposite Frankie Darro in the studio's popular action pictures. Moreland, with his bulging eyes and cackling laugh, quickly became a favorite supporting player in Hollywood movies. He is perhaps best known for his role as chauffeur Birmingham Brown in Monogram's Charlie Chan series. At the height of his career, Moreland received steady work from major film studios, as well as from independent producers who starred Moreland in low-budget, all-black-cast comedies.
Moreland also toured America in vaudeville, making personal appearances in the nation's movie theaters. His straight man was Ben Carter, and they developed an excellent rapport and impeccable timing. Their "incomplete sentence" routines can be seen in two Charlie Chan pictures, The Scarlet Clue and Dark Alibi.[4]
Moreland was offered fewer roles in the 1950s, when filmmakers began to reassess roles given to black actors.[citation needed][5] It is untrue that he was briefly considered as a possible addition to the Three Stooges when Shemp Howard died in 1955.[6] Moreland returned to the stage and appeared in two all-black variety films in 1955, with Nipsey Russell standing in for Ben Carter as his straight man.
Later career and death[edit]
Moreland's last featured role was in the 1968 darkly humorous horror film Spider Baby, which was patterned after Universal's thrillers of the 1940s. After suffering a stroke in the early 1960s, Moreland took on a few minor comedic roles, working with the likes of Bill Cosby, Moms Mabley and Carl Reiner.
Moreland died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1973 in Hollywood.[1][7]

Then it happened after 2 weeks the engine light came on and I took it to the JD Boneryder service center to so called get it fixed! The guy that worked on it said it was a glich in the system and nothing was wrong, but I told him, what about the rubbing noise coming from the left front tire. He said "What rubbing noise" and kinda change the subject on me, so I left and told the JD Byrider manager and he said I will talk to him! Almost a month goes by no news or any call.
And thats when it happened agian! The rubbing noise got louder and the water pump started to leek. It leeked so bad I had to put anti-freeze in it everyday or the car would overheat. I then took it to somebody I know in my family and they told me it was the timing belt that was rubbing and out of place, which from riding it like that caused the water pump to go bad. That really made me mad! So I had my wife call to have it serviced agian from JD Boneryder and they said it wasn't covered anymore cause the 30 days 1,000 miles warranty is up on it. So I called and told them that if they would have fixed it the first time, instead of saying its just a glich! This wouldn't even have happened, so I told them I'm not paying for it and they could have the car back.
They told me that they don't care if we give the car back cause they already got payed by CNAC and we owe CNAC there money, not them! I really got pissed and called CNAC and told them if they don't get this fixed and work it out with JD Byrider, I'm going to file a lawsuit against them for Fraud! They said they don't care if I had Johnny Cochran out of his grave!
They will get there money through garnishment of my pay and they will win! So now I'm trying to get in contact with someone who could help me out on this! If there is anybody who knows how to go about winning agianst CNAC & JD Byrider in a case, Please e-mail me at email@example.com Oh ya, its the JD Byrider in akron, Ohio right off howe ave, so don't go there!

Really nice plugin! Maybe you think about adding integration with Buddypress avatars? Now it show only gravatars.
I think combination with BP and this plugin options would be awesome.
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
Really nice plugin! Maybe you think about adding integration with Buddypress avatars? Now it show only gravatars.
I think combination with BP and this plugin options would be awesome.
Thanks. BuddyPress-Integration has been on our radar but I haven't looked at the specifics yet.
From a quick look at the code I think it should actually work with buddypress' uploaded avatars as well; there is this bit of code in "bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php" that should override default avatars if you're using the buddypress versions...
add_filter( 'get_avatar', 'bp_core_get_avatar_filter', 10, 4 );
(If someone has a test install of buddypress for me to play with that would help ;-))
Okay, step 1 done: BuddyPress does not like get_avatar calls with the "email address" passed to it, so I've changed my code to use the user_id instead... (Changeset 118704)
Big thanks bforchhammer plugin now displays the avatars.
But I've the problem with linking avatars to author page option. In this option plugin creates links to Authors of main blog - http://domain.test/blog/author/admin/, the link structure should be - http://domain.test/members/admin/ -
/blog/ and /members/ are BuddyPress Slugs - here is /developers/ slug example
I think the best solution would be to add one more option - "BP member page"
Here you go: Changeset 118924
I just stumbled over the buddypress members loop... doesn't have a widget (yet) but might be more suited in some use cases than my plugin.
Big thanks for changes and link. Link to BP members page works perfect.
Right now for my purposes, there are pretty enough options. It can be also used by other users to display users of their blog.
I really like it!
Thanks once more.
Thanks for testing and feedback. I think I'm going to release these changes as a new version later today...
Now in trunk: sorting by recent activity (See changes 120577)
Did you ever get this plugin displaying a BuddyPress user's uploded avatar?
I can get this plugin showing the author of the post's Gravatar image but it doesn't seem to show their custom BuddyPress avatar?
The code I am using is the following:
<?php echo get_avatar(get_the_author_email()); ?>
Cheers in advance for any help!
get_avatar function does not work with the email address... you have to use the user-id or username (I think) instead:
<?php echo get_avatar(the_author_meta('ID')); ?>
Thanks for the quick reply :)
I have actually sorted this myself after having another good look around the BuddyPress core files and the following placed withing the post loop does exactly what I need:
I can't seem to get the avatar size to change. It remains small, no matter what size I set it to. I'm using the widget with Buddypress.
Hm, could you provide a link to an example or an excerpt of the source code that gets created by the plugin?
This topic has been closed to new replies.

WNEW Gambles on Elite Rock Hybrid
By JOSHUA MILLS
Published: August 1, 1995
For more than 25 years, WNEW-FM, New York, has stood tall in the world of rock music.
In the late 1960's, it helped create the sound of rock on FM radio, with longer songs and less familiar artists than Top 40 permitted. It became known nationally as a station that took chances, one of the first to play Bob Dylan and a few years later, Elton John.
To a generation of musicians who came to prominence back then, the station's call letters and even its frequency ("102.7 FM, where rock lives") still resonate, even though its share of the New York area audience has slipped in recent years to less than 3 percent, behind at least five other rock stations. Tellingly, when an array of performers including Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty gathered at Madison Square Garden a couple of years ago to play and celebrate the music of Bob Dylan, it was WNEW-FM that Mr. Dylan chose to help promote the concert.
Classic rock-and-roll has been the station's boast for years. But no longer.
Since July 7, WNEW has been playing dramatically different music, while proclaiming itself "the rock alternative." It is still rocking, but with more songs by new performers, the less commonly played songs of stars, more songs with strong lyrics and more songs by women. Gone are Van Halen, AC/DC and George Thorogood; in are Annie Lennox, the Dave Matthews Band and the Cranberries.
Behind WNEW's gamble is the calculation that an audience is out there, scattered among a dozen other stations, waiting to be grabbed: well-educated, relatively affluent fans of rock-and-roll, especially women. More than a dozen stations around the country have successfully made similar changes.
"We found these adults wanted more variety in their mix and also more things they don't know," said Ted Edwards, WNEW's program director, pointing to a large chart on the wall of his midtown Manhattan office showing the results of the research the station commissioned. Over a period of months, two groups of 500 people -- ages 25 to 40, half of them women, listeners to WNEW-FM and other stations -- heard selections from songs and were interviewed about their reactions.
The foundation on which WNEW is building is something called "adult album alternative" music, or A.A.A., which has attracted wide audiences in Seattle, the Denver-Boulder area, San Francisco and other cities. But WNEW plays less blues and folk music than those stations and adds elements of "modern rock and also what they were doing before -- it's very much a hybrid," said John Bradley, a partner in the SBR Radio Company, a consulting company in Boulder that helped with WNEW's makeover.
Exactly which music the new WNEW plays is still being refined. But one strain running through all of this is that Mr. Edwards and Amy Winslow, the music director, want to play less familiar music than any other commercial rock station in the area does.
The theory is that such music invites a cerebral response, and will attract people who enjoy the challenge. Listeners will need to stop and think, is that Tom Petty, or just someone paying him homage? That's definitely Peter Gabriel, but which album was that song on? That sounds like Dire Straits, but what song is that?
Or, of course, they might turn to another station.
But other stations that have used the A.A.A. format find they attract loyal audiences. "The listeners tend to be 25 to 44, very well-educated, with college degrees and good income," said Kurt Hanson, president of Accu-ratings, a Chicago company that provides radio stations with ratings and research. "These people have fairly adventuresome musical tastes, a willingness to listen to new music and new bands; they tend to be good record buyers and good concertgoers."
With such people in mind, Mr. Edwards and Mr. Bradley created a list of more than 600 songs they thought would be appealing. They incorporated suggestions from Scott Muni, WNEW's afternoon program host, and other members of the staff, then divided the songs into broad categories.
These include "glue," described as "the heart of the station, the bands and songs that are most important, like R.E.M. and the Pretenders and U2," Mr. Edwards said; "spice," or "nice songs that you don't want to play too often, because they're novelties, like Pearl Jam's 'Crazy Mary,' which is not on any Pearl Jam album;" and four different types of new music.
For many years rock radio fell into two broad categories: Top 40, a collection of the best-selling singles, and album-oriented rock, which drew on longer songs from popular albums. These days radio is sliced smaller, and some sort of rock can be found in nearly a dozen different programming formats, including alternative rock, modern rock, classic rock, oldies, contemporary hit radio, adult contemporary, new age and progressive.
Whatever the format, most rock stations find that at least 60 percent of their listeners are male. So if a musical program could be created that would attract more women without losing too many men, the net audience would grow, and so would the quarterly ratings compiled by the Arbitron Company.
"Our goal is women, especially affluent women," said Kevin Smith, the general manager of WNEW. "We've drawn up a list of 25 accounts to pitch, and we've started meeting with advertising agencies." Already, a national network of bridal shops and some department stores have made commitments to advertise on the station, said Jill Columbo, WNEW's general sales manager.
Three weeks into the new format, Mr. Edwards continues to massage the play list daily, responding to staff memos, phone calls and faxes from listeners. Computerized files allow him to see what more than a dozen other radio stations around the country are playing, sorted by time of day or alphabetically by performer.
Some competitors in the New York market of 14 million listeners (age 12 and up) are quick to point out that WNEW has a lot of room for improvement.
In the most recent Arbitron ratings, the station attracted only 2.3 percent of the New York area audience, ranking 18th, and only 1.6 percent of women, ranking 21st. By contrast, the top-rated station in New York, WRKS-FM, which calls itself KISS-FM and the music it plays "classic soul," has 6.7 percent of the total audience and 8 percent of the women.
One striking element of WNEW's approach is the decision not to change the program hosts. The reasoning was that the hosts, having been on the air a long time, are well-liked and well-known in the New York area. "Listeners view the hosts as guides to new music," said Mr. Bradley, the consultant. "Muni is right behind Wolfman Jack in recognition."
Others in the radio industry suggest that keeping the same hosts might not only reduce the flight of the old core of listeners but also spare the station's owner, the Westinghouse Broadcasting Corporation, from expensive contract buyouts. In addition to Mr. Muni, the mainstays are Pat St. John in the morning, Carol Miller at midday and Tony Pigg in the evening, all hired a few years ago from WPLJ-FM, where they were known for playing classic rock.
"Carol Miller has made a career of playing Led Zeppelin to teen-age boys," said one broadcasting executive. "Does she fit with the new sound?"
That and other questions may not be answered until January, when the fall ratings are released by Arbitron. The summer ratings are not closely watched because summer listening habits are so different.
Meanwhile, the course is set. "We've taken out the male focus," said Mr. Edwards, the program director. " 'Lord of the Thighs,' this is not romantic stuff," he said of a song by Aerosmith. "The new format is more friendly to women."

hi just noticed that welcome pack plugin has stopped sending new user welcome message.
anyway to fix this please.
Once BP 1.7 is out, I'm going to spend some time on Welcome Pack to make sure it all works. Emails not being sent could have many reasons, not just indicating a problem with Welcome Pack.
I've noticed Welcome Pack doesn't include the welcome email at all. Plenty of other emails but not the Welcome Email after the user is activated.
I am firing the action to send the welcome email after do_action( 'bp_after_activation_page' ) in activation.php by adding in do_action( 'welcome_email' ).
I love BuddyPress and the welcome pack this was my only issue I've had with it so far.
I spoke to soon, musta been smoking something, This still doesn't work.
Thanks. As I said, waiting for 1.7 to come out before I spend time checking.
Looking forward to learning about a 1.7 compatible version. TIA!
Waiting for new development of this great plugin.
I had to disable my beloved 'welcome pack' . My emails were not being delivered because of it. :(.
I'll check back every so often to see if this gets a resolved.
Till then.
I would also love to see an update to this plugin. Thanks!

City of Vancouver officials plan to inspect all the rooms at The Lion hotel after warning the owner of the low-income rooming house in Vancouver's gritty Downtown Eastside that heat and hot water needs to be fully restored by Tuesday.
The Lion's owner, Abol Abdollahi, was given a City of Vancouver written order in late November to have the heat and hot water problem permanently fixed by Tuesday or the city would do the repairs and bill him.
Tenants of the 76-unit housing complex at 316 Powell Street had complained to the city that during the cold snap in November their rooms were so cold they could see their breath in the morning.
Some residents of the dilapidated single-room occupancy (SRO) hotel had complained that they had not had heat for years. But on Sunday it appeared Abdollahi had had tradesmen correct the heat and water problems.
Since city inspectors acted, fire inspectors have also gone into the building and assessed the owner thousands of dollars in fines for a variety of fire and building code infractions.
Notices of the city inspection have been posted throughout the hotel and residents are being advised that the room-to-room check will begin at 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
"Residents please close all windows and turn off all portable heaters, hot plates, grills etc. at least 30 minutes prior to the inspections," the notice reads. "This will allow inspectors to determine if the heating system is functioning properly."
"We have heat now," said resident Ron Kuehlke, adding the radiator in his room began to emit heat last week for the first time in six years.
"The city has pushed pretty hard on it," he said.
Like others in the hotel that houses many who are on social assistance, Kuehlke said he is hoping the heat and water problems are reviewed by inspectors on a regular basis. "It needs to be monitored," he said.
The city has some history with Abdollahi.
He was the co-owner of the low-income Clifton Hotel, which before it was recently shut down was deemed the second-worst building in the city, with 105 violations, all centred on the upkeep at the Granville Street premises.
Mohammad Valayati of the SRO Collaborative said two months was too long to have no heat in The Lion.
"That building was so cold, tenants were sleeping with winter jackets on," Valayati said.
"It seems like 60 days is too long to go without heat," he said. "The building is warm now, but how long will the heat work?
"The city has to do routine inspections," he added.

Having My Say
AUTHOR: Kathleen - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 25, 2004POSTED: Thursday, March 25, 2004
When I relocated from California to Arizona (Feb., 2004)and purchased insurance through AAA, the original rate quoted was appx. $90.00/mo, after credit check, rate increased to $191/mo.
I overdrafted my account in March because I am still not working much and did not receive some monies in to my account in the appropriate time..I am on social security as well.
In the mean time, I will be forced to drive without insurance until I earn enough money to afford it. In addition, I have had an excellent driving record in my 40 years of driving.
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?

AMERICAN CITIES; Fort Worth Updates Its Museums
By ROBERTA SMITH
Published: May 11, 2003
FORT WORTH is unusual among small American cities for its high incidence of seriously ambitious art museums. There are three to be exact -- a lot for a town of 535,000 people. For more than 30 years they have shared a swath of meticulously maintained greensward along Camp Bowie Boulevard, not far from the Will Rogers Memorial Center near the center of town.
One has tended to outshine the others: the Kimbell Art Museum, blessed with an acclaimed building designed by Louis Kahn, opened in 1972 with a small, choice collection of ancient and Asian art and European painting. In the Kimbell's shadow are the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum, the state's first art museum (founded in 1892 and committed to living artists almost since then), and the Amon Carter Museum, founded in 1961 to house a collection of Western art, including a cache of works by Frederick Remington. Both institutions have been perennially hamstrung by cramped buildings that no amount of fiddling or expanding seemed to improve.
Now the balance has shifted. In October 2001, the Amon Carter, having torn down two awkward additions and called back the original architect, Philip Johnson, unveiled a handsome new wing that triples its gallery space while dovetailing nicely with the original building. And in December of 2002, the Fort Worth Modern pulled up stakes altogether for a striking new building, designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Ando, that is right next to the Kimbell.
To see the results, I went to Fort Worth with my husband in early April for a weekend. What we found was, as they say, a whole new ballgame.
There are not many places where you can contemplate new museum architecture without getting depressed, view extraordinary groupings of European and American paintings and have an epiphany in feminist history all in the same day, while stumbling across a calf-cutting contest and never once have to resort to vehicular transportation. All these high points were within comfortable walking distance of one another.
First we paid our respects to the Kimbell, which I had not visited for more than 20 years. In the downstairs entrance hall we found a stunning array of European paintings: Caravaggio, de la Tour, Picasso, Goya, Velázquez, Bellini -- a nice welcome but, well, a little premature. Upstairs we discovered why. While the building is as great as ever, the airy central gallery once used for the display of art has been given over to a large gift shop that, to add insult to injury, sells toys and frivolous accessories for the home along with art books and postcards. One group of galleries was closed for the installation of a traveling exhibition of Egyptian art (opening today); another held a traveling show of so-so quality: ''Modigliani and the Artists of Montparnasse'' (through May 25). I suggest visiting Fort Worth when the Kimbell is devoting more of its luminous gallery space to its own superb collection.
Nearby, the new Modern impressively synthesizes late-20th-century austerity with the more intimate scale and textures of Japanese and Bauhaus architecture. This imposing two-story Minimalist structure in glass, steel and architectural concrete quintuples the museum's gallery space and includes its first cafe (highly recommended for lunch). Curling around a two-acre reflecting pool, Mr. Ando's design exploits the fact that in a place as historically parched as Texas, few things are as riveting as quantities of water, elegantly presented. When the water's surface is nearly level with the floor -- as it is in the museum's enormous foyer, the cafe and the wonderful glass-walled corridors that wrap around the exteriors of the ground-floor galleries -- the experience is sublime. A sprawling, garrulous Philip Guston retrospective (through June 8) filled the upstairs galleries at the time of our visit, but it is great to see the collection begin to strut its stuff on the ground floor.
Despite the thrills of the Ando building, the biggest surprise of the trip came at the Amon Carter. The compact two-story Johnson addition is admirably understated, lined with exquisitely fossil-pocked Texas limestone. Like Mr. Ando, Mr. Johnson seems to have taken a page from Kahn's use of unadorned surfaces as well as his exploitation of the clear Texas light. The museum's popular Western art, mostly by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, still occupies pride of place in the old building (which now resembles a spacious and sprightly porch) and fills a long new gallery leading to a skylighted dome. The real treat is upstairs: the museum's 19th- and early-20th-century American paintings ensconced in skylighted galleries. There are exemplary canvases by Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, Martin Johnson Heade, Thomas Eakins, John Frederick Peto and John Mix Stanley, as well as works by American modernists like Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove and Stuart Davis (six astutely selected Davis works form a veritable survey). There were also impressive displays from the museum's large photography collection and a lively exhibition of watercolors by Winslow Homer, which he made during fishing trips into the wilderness.

Alexander Kirk: Conclusion
In the third season of the hit NBC drama "The Blacklist," FBI Agent Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone, "Law & Order: LA") is now a fugitive and on the run with criminal mastermind Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader, "The Office," "Boston Legal"). With Assistant FBI Director Harold Cooper (Harry Lennix "The Matrix," "Ray") under investigation, a conflicted Agent Donald Ressler (Diego Klattenhoff, "Homeland") leads the FBI Task Force on a massive manhunt for Liz and Red - who are more dangerous together than apart, since Liz has expert knowledge of FBI procedures and no one exceeds Red's vast resources. As they struggle to stay one step ahead of their former colleagues, and Liz immerses herself in Red's underworld of disreputable contacts and covert operations, will the list of this season's new Blacklisters play a key role in their survival or their demise? Liz is on an unpredictable journey of self-discovery, and all the pieces of her life, including her indefinable relationship with Tom (Ryan Eggold, "90210," "Lucky Them"), will be drastically challenged as she continues to believe Red holds all the answers.
Jon Bokenkamp ("The Call," "Taking Lives"), John Eisendrath ("Alias"), John Davis ("Predator," "I, Robot," "Chronicle"), John Fox and Michael Watkins ("The X-Files") serve as executive producers. "The Blacklist" is a production of Sony Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment.
