Dogs kill fairy penguins
TOURISTS looked on in horror as two marauding dogs mauled and killed penguins at a leading Tasmanian penguin-viewing site.
Interstate visitors left Bicheno in shock after at least 15 penguins were killed in their sheltered rookery.
Nick Wardlaw, of Bicheno Penguin Tours, said about 20 people saw the Sunday evening attack, which left them "absolutely horrified".
"[The dogs] just grabbed one penguin, broke its neck then dropped it and moved on to the next one," he said.
"The tourists were absolutely horrified to think that such a thing could happen."
Paul Male, who also saw the attack, said people had been assembled for the penguins to come ashore when two black dogs attacked the fairy penguins.
"They attacked the penguins by grabbing them by the neck so, fortunately, most of them died instantly but women and children were horrified," he said.
"They nearly bowled people over as they were chasing them.
"The guides were very shocked and surprised. It was not a very good image of Tasmania."
He said the dogs dropped the penguins after killing them.
Mr Male said about 17 dead penguins had been discovered.
He said the dogs left the rookery and went further up the coast where they attacked hens and ducks.
Bicheno Penguin Tours has offered a $500 reward for anyone with information that could identify the dogs.
Mr Wardlaw said the dogs -- one labrador and the other believed to be a rottweiler -- were wearing collars and were "someone's pets obviously let roam around the town".
The tour company has since called for a dog curfew to be introduced to stop animals roaming after dark.
The attack comes at a crucial time for the fairy penguins, which are starting to lay eggs for their breeding season.
"Even though it's only about 15 penguins that could in fact have been 30 breeding pairs that are no longer able to raise their young," Mr Wardlaw said.
Attacks on penguins are quite common around the town, which is home to several thousand fairy, or little, penguins.
However attacks are quite rare in the rookery which has been rehabilitated and built up to about 600 penguins over the past five years.
Up to 63 were killed in a dog attack in 1997, while a couple of hundred penguins were killed in 1994.
Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and Glamorgan Spring Bay Council are investigating the attack.
Homophobe dogs?
Ok... I nominate this for "oddest-sounding headline of the week".
What if the dogs refuse?
A dingo ate your pengy
So now if we call someone "little people" we are actually calling them fairies? Is the term now considered hate speech?
If attacks are quite common around the town, why is this even newsworthy?
Hate crime???
(Dogs in a chicken coop have been known to do just this sort of stuff, and will never quit as long as they are breathing.)
Couldn't get the weapons out of the locked gun case.
Are these those gay penguins from Germany?
I hope they caught the murdering disturbed dogs and put them down......
Had their toenails painted and were a little light in the feathers.
LOL!! where did you get that???
ROFL...I love that graphic!
Fractured Fairy Penguins
One's named Butchie. The other answers to the name of Claude.
Pay me now.
Maybe the dogs saw "The ghost and the darkness"?
One of the penguins was named "Bruce".
One of the penguins was named "Bruce".
So if we only stop black dogs to look at their tags, are we profiling? Do we have to look at an equal number of white and brown dogs?
Then why stand there then with your thumb up your ass...if your so horrified, do something to stop it ... chunk a rock or a stick or kick the dog's in the ass if you can if you think it's that bad...
I was thinkin' the same thing.... Pick up a big stick and yell. Don't just stand there.
I'd be in the ICU myself but boy, would I have a story to tell! "You see, there were these penguins, fairy ones at that and there were these dogs...mongrels they were and well...there was just me and my stick...and a rock...and a fifth of Jack Daniels"
Do I have to tell???
Check out post no. 11.
"Dogs kill fairy penguins . . ."
Some days, the jokes just write themselves.
Apparently so.
Holy smokes! I was at that rookerie chasing penguins with my son 18 months ago. We really cheesed off the penguin tour guys because we just went there by ourselves without paying them 20 bucks a head first. Bicheno is really, really off the beaten path. Also, Tasmania is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.
Hey wait a minuet I'd toss a stick not go to ICU for some damm penguins...if it gets to that point in a dog vs penguins fight, F'it... and blame it all on Darwin ;>
I know me...
I actually jumped in the middle of a dog fight between a Dobie and a Carolina Yeller Dog without giving it a thought.
Amazingly, I managed to get my dog (the CYD) in the house and the Dobie in the toolshed.
To this day, I don't know how.
Good grief! These murderous canines killed Chilly Willy's relatives. Sic Elmer Fudd on the case of i.d.ing these canine killers.
A trio of stray dogs wiped out our entire chicken coop about 10 years ago. All of our hens' necks were broken, but the only bird that had visible wounds was our rooster, who'd had his legs torn off. We figured he'd tried to fight the dogs and they'd grabbed his legs.
Our son was living at home when this happened, and the dogs made the mistake of coming back while we were out burying the chickens. He grabbed the shovel, ran the dogs down and killed all 3 of them. We were so proud of him.
Are fairy penguins a variety of penguin or where the penguins homosexual?
We used to warn with a sign that 'stray dogs will be shot on sight' but tired of replacing the sign. No more fair warning.
And PETA thinks rural areas can't take care of the dog population! poppycock

Cramer Cookie Company is a relatively new company and so far has sold its products only in its home country, Denmark. In December, Cramer determined that it had excess capacity to produce more of its special Christmas cookies. It is trying to decide whether to use that capacity to ship a batch of cookies overseas. The marketing department has determined that the United States and Great Britain are the two most viable markets. Cramer has enough excess capacity to produce only one batch, which can be shipped to either country. The materials and labor cost to produce the batch amount to 8,500 kroner. The marketing department, which located a U.S. shipping company that could deliver to either location, also provided the following information:
United States
Great Britain
Shipping cost
3,000 U.S. dollars
2,000 U.S. dollars
Duties/customs charges and miscellaneous selling expenses
400 U.S. dollars
480 British pounds
Total sales revenue
5,200 U.S. dollars
2,800 British pounds
Exchange rate data
1 krone = 0.147 U.S. dollars
1 krone = 0.088 British pounds
a. If Cramer exports the batch to the United States, what is its estimated profit/loss in Danish kroner?
b. If Cramer exports the batch to Great Britain, what is its estimated profit/loss in Danish kroner?
c. If the British pound has exhibited rather large fluctuations relative to the Danish kroner recently, how might this impact Cramer's decision as to which country to ship to?

The Dark Ages
The Eastern Borders Campaign
This is the home page for the tabletop Eastern Borders campaign.
The area that you find yourselves in is called the Eastern Borders, another name for the Duchy of Irecia. Once rich, well populated farmlands among hills and gentle valleys, this land now finds itself as the rough frontier. A small keep lies close to Enonia. Once a rich and prosperous town on the outskirts of the famous Diamond City of Irecia, the Dark Age has reduced it to a shadow of it's former self, one that survives in the face of the Doom and the bestial Orcs and Goblyns who threaten its existence.
The Lord of the Keep, Marshall Victor Roehm, stands on precarious ground with his few troops. Barely enough to keep the bestials in check and assisting the refugees from them, the Lord prays to the Light with the Priests who keep watch over the people of the area. The Marshall struggles valiantly to keep the area around Enonia, the surrounding towns, few farms and keep free of lawlessness, but not far beyond lies much to be retaken and rediscovered.
Places of recent note:
(Large – towns, regions, sizable complexes)
- Abandoned Mines

- Derelict Wizard's Tower

If someone is almost 50 and they are being taken advantage of by other members of the family by loosing everything they have can they call Adult Protective Services to get help from the members who are taking everything from them? The members are making sure this person is left with nothing and the person has no way to stop it or fight it. The person has no money only the belongings they are taking from them.
Landlord / Tenant Lawyer
A person could self-report to APS and request services. Alternatively a person can go to court and get a restraining order (DV or AH) to restrain the conduct of other members of the family. If someone is stealing from you, you can call the police. None of these options require the petitioning or reporting party to pay anything in order to seek help.

I have made an ifeature child theme, but when I install it, it throws the formatting off. The menus look weird, in the blog page the pictures are displaced and some of other text just in the wrong place.
Here is the code.

Theme URI: http://example.com/
Description: Child theme for the ifeature

I have also used the code, but added the following line:
@import url("../ifeature/style.css");
When that didn't work, I tried:
@import url("public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/ifeature/style.css");
My hunch is that the style.css of the parent is not being linked properly? Would appreciate some help!

Michelin began awarding stars for restaurant quality in 1926, when it published its first regional tourist guide for Brittany, France. Its first North American guide was released in 2005 for New York City restaurants and hotels. Called "Red Guides" because of their red covers, the Michelin Red Guides are known for listing only the best establishments. Earning one, two or three stars indicates exceptional food or lodgings.
According to Michelin
To be listed at all in the Michelin Red Guides, a restaurant or hotel must be judged to be of high quality. Not all that are listed in the guide receives a star, however. According to Michelin, one star signifies a restaurant that has very good food that is consistent in quality. A two-star rating indicates excellent cuisine skillfully prepared, worth going out of your way to taste. Three-star establishments offer distinctive dishes are are "worth a special trip." Michelin also gives a Bib Gourmand rating for restaurants that don't merit a star, but offer good food and value.
Freshness and Quality
Although Michelin doesn't publish a checklist of exactly what it looks for when rating restaurants and hotels, it does have a standard set of criteria. For food, that means fresh ingredients prepared with obvious technical expertise, pleasingly arranged on the plate. Every course must be of the same high quality, and every type of food must pass the test. A restaurant with outstanding seafood dishes but only so-so steaks will not be highly rated. Hotels are judged for their appearance and service in all areas -- from valet, bell hop and the front desk to the grounds and rooms.
Along with striving for the highest quality in all areas, restaurants and hotels in search of a Michelin star must maintain this quality consistently. Michelin inspectors do not announce when they are coming, or even that they are there, until after they have visited and judged the establishment. This way, restaurants and hotels cannot prepare in advance by improving otherwise mediocre food, service or accommodations. Before inspectors decide to award a star or not, Michelin sends several other, different inspectors to visit and give their opinions. The only way to receive a star is to have consistent, high quality.
Ask for Review
If you believe your restaurant or hotel meets the high Michelin standards, and does so consistently, you can request a review from Michelin. Typically, a reviewer will visit within a year, but you won't be told when. Other reviewers will then be sent out at different times of the day to order different meals. Michelin readers can also ask for a review, as can your customers. Requests don't guarantee you a visit or a star. But unlike other restaurant reviewers, you won't get a bad review from Michelin. If the reviewers don't like what you offer, they just won't list you in the Red Guide or give you a star.
Be Patient
The process of reviewing an establishment takes place over the course of many months. The Red Guides are published in March. Results aren't given out in advance. So even if you know you've been reviewed, you won't know if you were awarded a star -- or additional star -- until the guide is published. If you do receive a star, your goal for the next year will be to keep it, or to add an additional star, by keeping your quality high across the board.

"We had a beautiful time at the Hummingbird Cottage, Joy has given it a very warm and welcoming feel. It's very spacious and we found it to be really good value, it feels like a home away from home yet only 10 minutes to Vernon town center. Would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone, we loved it!"Guest: barbara M. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: May 2, 2016View listing

"Our group of adult rowers traveled to Vernon from the Lower Mainland to take part in a rowing regatta on Swan Lake. Instead of everybody staying at one of the local hotels we decided to look for a vacation home. Bonnie, the Property Manager, was professional and friendly from the start of our search until the moment we checked out. Not only was the shared cost a great benefit the house allowed us all to really relax and enjoy each others' company. The home was clean, cozy and well appointed. During our stay the weather was so so and we didn't really have a chance to enjoy the beautifully landscaped garden. The one time we did sit outside on the deck was enjoyable. I would recommend this property."Guest: Monique v. Date of Stay: June 2016 Review Submitted: June 16, 2016View listing
"My husband and two children and I recently stayed here for 5 nights while visiting family in Vernon. The unit was perfect and we would gladly come back. It is beautifully appointed, with very tasteful decorations, comfortable beds, and everything you need. The kitchen is very well stocked. There is no oven, but with a full stove top, toaster oven, microwave, and barbecue you hardly need one. There are more than enough linens and towels, and even beach towels. And the ability to do laundry in the unit was wonderful. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed the big tv and the Wii games! We met Pam in the driveway one day and she was delightful. I have no doubt she and Brent would be extremely responsive to any needs had we had any. But otherwise we never saw them. We fully relaxed and enjoyed ourselves in this beautiful, very clean, very comfortable, quiet accommodation. As a bonus, the house is located very close to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, with great hiking and lake access at a number of beautiful little beaches and bays. It's also only a few minutes away from the main beach at Kal Lake. We look forward to coming back here on our next visit to Vernon."Guest: Barbara L.

Yesterday, after putting in weeks of professional game-time, I've finally finished Dragon Age: Origins for Xbox 360. And when I say professional game-time, I mean literally putting in a day's work through playing video games. Here's the thing: I do not own an Xbox 360, I don't have that kind of money. My brother, however, does. And when said brother is away at work, that Xbox just sits there in his room doing nothing, completely neglected. It must be a crime against humanity, as he's almost never home. He does however justify this by spending every free minute of his life either gaming or watching Animé. Sometimes even epically combining both in some sort of awesome coolness trip.
Previously, while I was out browsing Gamespot for the usual old games I play, I kept coming across all sorts of references towards this game called Dragon Age: Origins. That made me recall this ranting spree my brother went on for several weeks, regarding this game called Dragon Age: Origins. At some point he asked me for my original Baldur's Gate collection. Something to do with the makers from Baldur's Gate making a new game called Dragon Age: Origins. Those factors combined made me crack at some point and decide to look into that game. Usually I try not to mess with newer games, as I can't play them anyways and so I get frustrated marveling in their glory. But since the buzz around it was so big and my brother's opinions about games are fairly correct 9 out of 10 times, I just had to go take a look.
What I saw there was nothing extraordinary as all the hypes mentioned, but then again, hypes usually tend to set you up for imminent let downs. I did however see a new BioWare game and I've always enjoyed playing those frantically. More so, the whole reason I bought an Xbox, days prior to the next-gen release, was because I was playing a small bit of Jade Empire and KotoR II at a friends house. It got me hooked so badly, I couldn't think about anything else. I just had to go out and buy me those games. My addiction was so acute, I even had to go out of town to find a copy of Jade Empire there that very day.
The following weeks, I spent all day and night going through just about every possible playthrough in both games. And the best part was, it didn't even get dull.
That is the reason why a new BioWare game might not be the most surprising new game made, but it does deserve looking into. It's basically the same formula in a new package, but it's one hell of a winning formula. For those of you gladly battling alcohol addictions, consider it like a new beer. It's just some beer, but beer is always awesome and you'll always have some room for it.
Back to my original point: After weeks of hearing from all sides how good this game was, I formed a cunning plan. As my brother has a job and I don't, there's an 8 hour window where the Xbox is used as an expensive paperweight and I could step in to save the day. And by saving the day, I mean usurp his console and basic hospitality by raiding his house while he is gone. I pitched him this idea of interim gaming and he was cool with it. The only thing I had to do was to wake up on time for him to go to work and leave me in his house. That time, however, was 5 AM! To my amazement, it is possible to wake up in time, given the proper motivation. After 26 years of getting late for just about any morning appointment I have ever had, there I stood in complete zombie mode at my brother's door.
And so began my job as a professional gamer. Starting at 5 AM, I would take a 5 minute, snack break at 8 and have half an hour for lunch at 11, followed by a quick snack break around 2 PM. Like I said, I was taking this seriously; this was my job, not some silly toy!
During these weeks of intense gaming, I discovered a few things.
For one, gaming makes you exceedingly lazy, yet productive towards your game. You'll pool all your non-game related tasks into 1 single sweep of actions. For instance, you'll combine going to the bathroom, drinking, following up daily tasks such as mails, cooking and eating all into one and do them in less than 10 minutes if possible. Because everything you do will make the clock tick closer towards that deadline where you have to return to your mundane life, instead of rocking it in Ferelden.
Secondly, this setting of professional gaming will make you plan ahead, even when not actively playing. I was, for example, planning what I could eat the next day while playing and what dish would take the least time to prepare and then consume, while still being nutritious. A trait that wasn't too healthy, I think, as I would usually eat pasta, sandwiches or reheated food, but nothing else. And usually I take time to cook some nice dinner; but not anymore! There was questing to be done and I had a Blight to stop!
Also, any common courtesy you might have had, swiftly went out the door. I'd wake up barely in time to show up at my brother's (hey, it's still 5 flippin' AM!) and on bad days, I'd forget most of my food and drinks. And instead of wasting time to go fetch them, I'd just loot his fridge and cupboards. Once the game was on, there was no brother or hospitality, there was only the Grey Wardens and my nemesis the Archdemon.
But the main reason I'm writing this, is because throughout my second week of gameplay, I started wondering something. That's after 40 odd hours if you're keeping count, by the way.
I wondered how huge gaming companies would market games such as these to a big audience. Granted, there's a nice following of fans for any game that has references to Baldur's Gate. But I'm guessing this game has a huge budget and even if it's brought out on all platforms, it has to sell to a large amount of people to return that investment. Sure, there will be revenues also to be had in related merchandise. But that can't topple it, can it?
The reason why I wondered this, is because I can't perceive Dragon Age being played by a large amount of people. I mean, even if you play professionally, like I did, for 8 hours a day, it will take you about 2 weeks to complete one playthrough. the other playthroughs might be a little faster, but will still take in a sizable amount of time. Most people don't have that much time to spend everyday on video games. Kids have to go to school, do homework and possibly have some other hobby. Adults should have a considerable larger amount of responsibilities, such as work, college, groceries, housekeeping and other hobbies. Pensioners might have a butt-load of time, but do you see them picking up Dragon Age and going all epic on you? I'd have to see it to believe it.
And if you don't play for at least 4 hours a day, it would just take way too much time to ever have a chance at completing it. That might be fine to try that once, but I don't think you'll enjoy failing at games for long. In all, you won't be picking up an RPG you can't make time for.

Casual RPG player: The Dream - Part One
A deep and long insight about my experiences in Dragon Age: Origins
Apr 25, 2010 10:03AM PST
Yesterday, after putting in weeks of professional game-time, I've finally finished Dragon Age: Origins for Xbox 360. And when I say professional game-time, I mean literally putting in a day's work through playing video games. Here's the thing: I do not own an Xbox 360, I don't have that kind of money. My brother, however, does. And when said brother is away at work, that Xbox just sits there in his room doing nothing, completely neglected. It must be a crime against humanity, as he's almost never home. He does however justify this by spending every free minute of his life either gaming or watching Animé. Sometimes even epically combining both in some sort of awesome coolness trip.

Vallywag on Older Entrepreneurs
Lots of interesting chat around on the ideal age to be an entrepreneur starting a new company.
Matt Mullenweg
Venture capitalist Fred Wilson's view is that most entrepreneurs form their companies in their thirties, and few are older than that, although many are considerably younger. Matt Mullenweg, for example, started WordPress at the raw age of 19.
Nick Denton at Valleywag responds with some logic, "My guess: older entrepreneurs fail less often, but succeed less stunningly."
It's said that VCs will not back startups run by the over thirties. I'm sure we can all think of exceptions to that rule, but it probably has some traction in the marketplace. However, as Denton says, "Even if there were evidence that young entrepreneurs are more likely to strike out, risk-hungry investors will still fall for youth."
As Wilson says, "… only one of the entrepreneurs in our current portfolio is older than 45. And he'll probably be starting companies until he dies. It's what he does".
Of course, this debate begs a lot of questions. Would any VC back Richard Branson if he made an application for funding? The truth is Branson doesn't need the money, having been successful for decades in putting together a billion plus fortune. So the chances of him approaching VCs are slim to vanishing. If someone like him were to arrive at the first pitch meeting, he would either be an unknown quantity or have previous failures behind him.
Anyone over 40 it seems should consider bootstrapping their startup. In their thirties? Ditto, unless there are pressing reasons not to.
Below 30, go for the money if you can, sell out soon and use the small fortune gained to set up a non-funded project that you can nurse for as long as you wish without pressure to sell.
As someone who is a bit older than 30, I know a number of people in older age-groups who have started businesses — even a few in retirement. A good proportion succeed because:
1. They have a lot of experience.
2. Are more cautious.
3. Probably have their own funding.
4. Have nothing better to do.
5. Have credibility with bankers and customers.
They won't create YouTube, but they might just come up with a WordPress or a steady-as-she-goes content business.
Like everything else, it comes down to the individual.

AbsolutelyNew, Inc.
650 Townsend St Ste 475
San Francisco CA 94103-6225
Complaint Description:
We are requesting a full refund of our contract "fees". This request is based on the fact that Absolutely New has breached our contract. Specifically, Absolutely New has failed to comply with our agreement with regard to the following sections of our contract: 1) Absolutely New breached our contract according to the Marketing Agreement signed and dated November 30, 2010. Section 3 (sub-section 3.2 titled Installment Terms) is an agreement that requires my partner and I to execute a separate agreement allowing ANI to automatically withdraw the payment on the specified due date from a credit card or checking account over which the client has control ANI did not offer or require us to sign a separate agreement to pay our fees. 2) "Schedule 1 - Services" (Item #4): We were not given a virtual model within 45 days. We have not been given a virtual model as of the end of the contract. Not making the model available, as part of the package that was sent to the potential acquirers was seriously detrimental to the success of acquiring a licensing agreement. This is a direct material breach of contract. Our concept sheet was not completed until mid February 2011 this is a breach of the contract limitations. Our assigned Product Manager Christina Lett left the employment of Absolutely New, and delayed the final concept sheet. While Christina was our lead contact she ignored several calls, messages, and requests. In addition, Absolutely New made errors by disregarding changes to the concept sheet that we put in writing. ANI simply overlooked our editing changes; this further delayed the project. Serena Soo took over as our lead contact. We asked her to make changes to the concept sheet and we received resistance. We brought this to the attention of ANIs legal counsel, and we were given an emphatic apology for their oversight and mistakes. 3) "Schedule 1 - Services" (Item #5, #6, #7): In this schedule it states, "...ANI shall perform the following Marketing Tasks beginning forty five (45) days after the Effective Date... We were told several times by Absolutely New that they would be attending "...several trade shows on our behalf... and would specifically represent our invention at these shows. As of this day, we have received no written reports that confirm our invention was represented at ANY trade show. The only confirmation that Absolutely New has attended any trade show on our behalf are verbal comments from Absolutely New staff stating they represented our product at one trade show; the "PGA trade show". We explained to ANI during several phone conversations, and in face-to-face meetings that the "PGA" trade show was not an appropriate venue for our invention. ANI agreed, and said that they would be attending several other trade shows on our behalf, however this has not occurred. In your email today you cited two additional breaches that we did not note in previous emails. The first quarterly report we received was in May - this delivery was untimely, and is a breach of our contract. At your own admission, we have not received the second quarterly report as of the drafting of this email. This is an additional breach of contract. Our contract ended June 1, 2011, therefore; ANI breached our contract by not supplying our report.
Your Desired Resolution:
We feel the breaches of contract noted above are sufficient to warrant a refund of our fees. We are open to any meaningful discussion that will enable us to reach a reasonable and fair resolution to this matter.
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?

Cirque to offer matinee Michael Jackson show
By The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas visitors will soon have the option of squeezing in a Cirque du Soleil show before grabbing dinner and checking out a nightclub.
Officials have announced Sunday matinee performances of Michael Jackson ONE starting June 29. Tickets for those performances are on sale now.
The Michael Jackson show at Mandalay Bay currently runs five evenings a week and has a 7 p.m. show on Sunday.
Show representatives say adding a matinee option may be more convenient for audiences of the family-friendly show, which allows children 5 and up to attend.
Michael Jackson ONE will be the only Cirque show in Las Vegas with an afternoon performance.

I make all the design mods of this theme in order to widens teh content area and remove a sidebar. Now, the design look like this.
Please, can somebody help me to make 3 css/php changes?! The coffee beans can be easily moved near to the brown space, but:
1. I want to enlarge the content area, acording to design, in all white surface.
2. Remove sidebar2, move the sidebar1 in the brown area and enlarge the content area for sidebar, in order to cover all the brown area. Note: I remove the div called "sidebar 2" from sidebar.css but the sidebar2 is still there (it jumps at the bottom of page). Probably is required both css and php changes in code.
3. Create a search function, inside the round white surface of the portfilter
I know, is a little hard to tell me all the changes but I hope to obtain at least few directions or some css/php lines where to change the parameters.
I work with a child theme!
Thank you,

I went to work there and within 3 months came down with asthma, and was made to quit. The building was built without regards to health or asthma. Just like row houses in Baltimore with their close-nit back alley parking streets where asthma causing exhaust is inhaled each morning.
Never was there any sort of warning, nor is there any warning from state builders or leasers of this here property concerning asthma. Also no matter how much I complain to lawyers this topic is off-limits. Asthmatics don't stand a snow balls chance in hell. Car asthma from tailpipes has gone without government warnings, and without compensation to any victims.
After witnessing newly created and formed tobacco millionaires by politicans, I wonder now if it really was tobacco or tailpipes causing cancer? And how or why they would accuse tobacco over tailpipes which are of such higher concerns, magnitudes, and fortunes regarding health, war and defense matters. Surely the tailpipe is the king of all evils regarding bad health, bad fortune, and global disaster.
Why won't our politicians achknowledge this and pass it on. Why has it been left up to me?

I had a blog that was hosted on as "myblog.wordpress.com"
I exported the blog so that I could upload it to my new domain name.
Imported the file to the new blog control panel on my domain.
Seemed to work okay.
The navigation menu is jacked. Nothing is where it should be.
Picture slideshows were reverted to grid picture galleries.
Is it possible to have the same functionality as when WordPress was hosting? The slideshow plugins that I found are garbage. They try to over complicate it.

By AMC Public AffairsDecember 13, 2013
REDSTONE ARSENAL, AL - Army Materiel Command Sexual Harassment and Assault Response Program representative training concluded Dec. 12. Thirty-three students completed the two-week course to become SHARP representatives for their respective commands.
"We must continue to train our workforce to create lasting cultural change, and eradicate sexual harassment and assault," said Master Sgt. Andrew Ruffin, AMC Equal Opportunity and SHARP program manager.
"This year, AMC has increased our number of victim advocates. Last year we had 80; we now have more than 200 SHARP certified personnel throughout the AMC global footprint," he added. The Army and AMC have placed increased emphasis on eliminating sexual assault and harassment in the workforce.
The training covered topics ranging from victim's rights to facilitating Sexual Assault Review Boards. Instruction was not limited to classroom work. Students also traveled to Crisis Services of North Alabama for a first-hand look at a local abuse shelter. CSNA staff educated participants on the center's role in sexual assaults on Redstone Arsenal. The students toured the confidential location, including exam rooms where victims receive medical treatment, as well as a waiting room filled with toys to occupy children while they wait.
A panel of sexual assault subject matter experts also met with the students during training. The panel consisted of legal experts, a sexual assault response coordinator, a medical expert, and a CID investigator.
Graduating students are able to apply for the Department of Defense's Sexual Assault Advocate Certification Program. Once certified, these new SHARP representatives will become subject matter experts for their command.
"The people who graduated are victim advocates," Ruffin said. " Their role is to be the champion for the victim."
For assistance from a certified SHARP Victim Advocate, call the AMC SHARP office at 256-450-6425, or the 24/7 Redstone Arsenal hotline at 256-924-0795.

Comment: Where has globalisation left the garment industry?
By David Birnbaum | 21 December 2012
Globalisation has seen the garment industry evolve to such an extent that every country in the world is competent at exporting every type of garment, at every price level. Along the way, wages in the West have fallen and jobs disappeared, while in the developing East, workers have seen their wages rise and new jobs appear. But as David Birnbaum explains, the process has a momentum all of its own.
I notice that we are still blaming globalisation for our economic ills. If our job has migrated from Detroit or Manchester to Dhaka or Mumbai, we blame it on globalisation. If our former employer's entire company now located in Shenzhen China, we blame that on globalisation. If our wages have not risen for the past 20 years, we blame that too on globalisation.
The problem is that we assume that globalisation is based on government policy, or worse, a conspiracy created by a cabal of multi-national corporations bent on world domination.
The reality is far different: not better, not nicer, just different. Globalisation is something natural. It has much in common with the Atlantic Ocean. The destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy or the flooding of low-lying areas in both the US and Western Europe would never have occurred but for the existence of the Atlantic Ocean.
If we could somehow declare the Atlantic Ocean an illegal entity - and actually put a stop to it - hurricanes and lowland flooding would be a thing of the past.
Our leaders do not take this course because they know that we cannot contain the ocean. However, many of those same leaders believe they can stop globalisation through legislation.
Protectionist moves raised imports
The history of the global garment industry should have taught us otherwise. The US (as well as the other industrialised countries), made every effort stop the transfer of local garment-making jobs to developing countries in Asia. It imposed the highest tariffs and the strongest non-tariff barriers in an effort to at least slow down the rise of Asian garment imports.
Nothing worked. In fact, these protectionist moves were major factors leading to increased imports of "cheap" garments from Asia and the eventual collapse of the US local garment industry.
High tariffs forced Asian factories to both increase productivity and move to higher-value-added products. Quotas forced them to build factories in countries that previously had no garment exporting capacity at all.
As a result, what began as a cheap product industry concentrated in three Asian countries evolved into an all-garment industry, competent to export every type of garment, at every price level, from every country in the world.
Globalisation has caused change, and that change has disrupted the lives of many people everywhere.
What began as a process to move unskilled and semi-skilled jobs to low labour-cost countries has moved up the economic ladder to the point where almost every job is at risk.
Where once only sewing and other factory jobs moved offshore, today garment sourcing is increasingly carried out in Asia by highly qualified Asian professionals. We are now moving product development offshore to those same Asian countries.
Eventually only sales, marketing and the designer's first sketch will remain in our home importing countries.
In the final analysis, the only safe jobs - those that cannot be moved - are either at the very bottom, such as floor sweepers, bus drivers, and hamburger flippers; and those at the very top where truly creative people operate.
Pay levelling out
The other side offers a more positive result. The first stage of globalisation produced jobs at close to subsistence wages with sewers working long hours in sweatshop conditions.
That is now changing. Wages in most garment exporting countries are currently rising by over 20% per year. A sewer in Vietnam is now paid $250-$300 a month. Wages in Cambodia and Indonesia are currently above the $200 mark. A sewer in China - the world's largest garment exporter - is now paid between CNY2500-4000 ($500-$800) per month. And, in every one of these countries, factories are finding it increasingly difficult to find workers.
That same globalisation, which has kept wages down in the US and Europe, is forcing wages up in what we once euphemistically termed the third-world.
Globalisation is ineluctably leading to a global paradigm where the same job receives the same pay, everywhere in the world.
As with every other natural process, globalisation is not fair. High wage earners in the industrialised West see their wages fall and their jobs disappear, while in the developing East, workers see their wages rise and new jobs appear. As with the Atlantic Ocean, the globalisation process is beyond control.
In one respect, we can take comfort.
To be born in the United States or Western Europe provides a great advantage: the opportunity to succeed.
This is where those who come from modest backgrounds can obtain a first class education; where those with new ideas and viable plans can obtain the support necessary to bring these ideas and plans to fruition.
Finally, the US constitution guarantees its citizens life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That constitution does not guarantee a job. That right was guaranteed by Joseph Stalin's 1937 Soviet constitution: a state where you were guaranteed jobs but not not life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness.

Hi - I can't quite see how bp-albumn determines which template file to use.
For example - navigating to /wordpress/members/admin/album/ results in the wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bp-album/includes/ templates/album/pictures.php template being used.
I can't determine where it works out that this is the filter, and then how it tells WP or BP that this is the one that should be use.
Any tips on how I should investigate this will be appreciated.
I've seen the below comment in the readme, but don't know where the examples it is referring to are located.
"For more information, see the functions bp_example_load_template_filter() for how template locations
are filtered, and bp_example_screen_one() for how they are loaded for a screen (all in bp-example-core.php)"

Here are my Comments Comments.
I could not find anything about this so I thought I might bounce the idea off you.
A KEY CHANGE that would make the edit comments page better:
Allow the user to select how many comments are presented. (Ebay does this at the bottom of the page i.e. "see 25,50,100,200 items per page") Then, one could select the drop down box and select "mark as spam", then uncheck the "real" comments and push the button to take the desired action.
This would save alot of time administering a blog.

Fergie Speaks Up on Diving Now that Ronaldo's Gone!
As usual, some fair points there Wise Son. However, the hypocrisy I was referring to was the fact that Fergie makes this statement to the media in the aftermath of the Eduardo ban rather than make this type of statement when he was quizzed numerous times about diving while Ronaldo was still at the club.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
That's par for the course isn't it? Wenger doesn't make this kind of statement during the Eduardo thing, but will at other times, ditto Benitez for Gerrard or past Chelsea managers for Drogba (Ancellotti hasn't been there long enough to summarise his behaviour fairly).
FWIW, I do remember Fergie expressing his disapproval of diving while Ruud was at it, but of course, refusing to name names, consistent with his statement about public criticism of your own players.

Well are you trying to rationalize behaviour by saying, "I do it because he/they do it too"? Come on Wise Son, we are talking about the greatest British manager here, possibly the greatest ever in the game. So can he not rise above the others? Surely, you cannot defend his hypocrisy by pointing to others that do so?
And Jigsaw, while you have made your opinion of Sir Alex clear enough, kindly desist from the petty insults. The adults are trying to have a conversation here.

Musandam, Oman
This iReport is part of an assignment:
Travel photo of the day
The spectacular Fjords of Musandam Oman
It is one of the place that worth visit while you are in Oman or in the UAE. The view will take your breath away. I can't even stop taking pictures of these rocky mountains. I took these photos on April 13th, 2014 when me and my family decided to take a day trip to the coastal village of Khasab, Musandam in Oman. Soon you pass the border between UAE and Oman, you will see the stunning open sea surrounded by rocky mountains. We, then took a traditional Omani wooden dhow for a day trip or well-known as 'Dhow Cruise'. We departed at the Khasab harbour around 10:30AM to explore the Fjords of Musandam and back at 4:30PM. During the trip you will see the magnificent of rocky cliffs with crystal clear waters, the unique fisherman villages, and last but not least the dolphin sightings. It was fun for the kids. You can also swim and snorkel. It was a perfect gateway for family.

Most Popular
First, there were Disney princesses with beards. Now, courtesy of artist Annie Erskine via The Mary Sue, we have Disney princes (and various other male characters) with beards. Or without them, if they have them usually. Observe:

I like the idea of waiting till after earnings
I tried to short 10K shares but there were none left to short..
I shorted 10K through my Schwab account - no problem. I then canceled the trade. Just wanted to see if it was everyone or just you.
Why not buy puts?

Congratulations on your decision to buy a home now. Given the decline in prices and the lowest interest rate in years this can be a great time to buy. The government's new tax deduction makes it even more adventageous for a first time homebuyer.
Especially for first time homebuyers there are many programs available. If you are thinking of buying in Brockton there is a great program for short sale or bank owned properties. This program has a lower interest rate, closing costs and down payment restrictions.
There are many other programs which vary by your circumstances, such as income and credit score. You mentioned that your friend's credit was not as good as yours that is something that could be discussed and possibly fixed.
I do alot of work with first time homebuyers and would love to work with you. My experience can help you navigate the financing and purchasing procedures. Give me a call at 774-766-8439 and I would be happy to speak with you.
I look forward to working with you,

Here are some links to some useful sites with information for first-time homebuyer programs in Massachusetts:
MassHousing at https://www.masshousing.com/portal/server.pt?open=514&ob
Massachusetts Housing Partnership at http://www.mhp.net/
Housing and Urban Development at http://www.hud.gov/local/ma/homeownership/buyingprgms.cfm
I trust you'll find the information contained in those websites beneficial.
1. I would stay clear of buying a home with a friend as co-borrower and co-owner- for many reasons.
2. If this friend has worse credit than you, the bank will only use his FICO/ credit score in determining their loan approval. So you may not qualify with him, and if you do- it will be at a higher rate and higher fees.
3. Depending on the town, (not Brockton), if you buy in a small town there may be available 100% financing programs still around.
4. More than likely, you will need to come up with a minimum 3% down payment- for an FHA mortgage. Some or all of that 3% can be gifted from a relative if needed.
5. Rates have gone up twice today. The market is very volatile. Once you find a place and get an offer accepted, you need to check with your mortgage officer and see if it is a good time, right at that moment, to lock in your rate- for 30-45 days usually.
If you need any further help with any of that, or maybe even a pre-approval, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks, and Good Luck,
Ken L.
