Org 8.0 comes with a completely rewritten export engine which makes it easy to write new export back-ends, either from scratch, or from deriving them from existing ones.
Your two entry points are respectively
org-export-define-backend and
org-export-define-derived-backend. To grok these functions, you
should first have a look at ox-latex.el (for how to define a new
back-end from scratch) and ox-beamer.el (for how to derive a new
back-end from an existing one.
When creating a new back-end from scratch, the basic idea is to set the name
of the back-end (as a symbol) and an an alist of elements and export
functions. On top of this, you will need to set additional keywords like
:menu-entry (to display the back-end in the export dispatcher),
:export-block (to specify what blocks should not be exported by this
back-end), and
:options-alist (to let the user set export options that
are specific to this back-end.)
Deriving a new back-end is similar, except that you need to set
:translate-alist to an alist of export functions that should be used
instead of the parent back-end functions.
For a complete reference documentation, see the Org Export Reference on Worg.

June 2014 - Carnival Legend to Caribbean - Western
Much needed relaxation. After crusing on most of the other major cruise lines we wanted to try Carnival out. It was a very nice ship and everyone was truly nice and very helpful. Of the small issues that did arise, they were very quick to respond. Had I never been on a cruise before, I would have been throughly impressed, but since I knew what others offered I have to say I was a little disappointed. Cabin was awesome. Very spacious and great layout also. Food in main dining was pretty good. The buffet dining was okay. Overall my experience was disappointed as far as the carnival cruise lines goes, I wood definitely prefer to spend a few dollars more and sail with Royal Caribbean as the differences are so great they are uncomparable in my opinion. You have the same age range with maybe a few more of the older generation on Royal Caribbean then you do Carnival and as far as kids go I would say its almost equal. Both ships have alot of activities for the kids but I think Royal Caribbean has Carnival beat there also. In my opinion, I prefer in this order: Princess Cruise lines, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise lines, then Carnival. All are very good, I have cruised on each of these some multiple times, but for the money my favorites are Princess and Royal Caribbean. I hope this helps some Enjoy whatever cruise line you decide to take.

I woke up starving this morning.
Starving for a breakfast cake and an apple cinnamon one, at that.
But I somehow put it off so I could get in some lower body/ab work.
And you know what they say about delayed gratification…
Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Cake (serves 1)
1/2 cup oat bran
2 Tbsp. egg white (or one egg white)
1/2 apple sliced
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon + more for sprinkling on top
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 cup almond milk*
7 drops NuNaturals Stevia (or 1-1 1/2 tsp. sweetner of your choice)
oil or cooking spray
Microwave apples for 1 minute (or bake in a small pot for 5 minutes with a 1/4 cup of water). Mix oat bran, baking powder, salt, and spices well. Add almond milk, egg white, and sweetener stirring well. Coat a ramekin with oil or cooking spray. Place a few apple slices in the bottom of the ramekin. Pour half of the batter on top. Place the remaining on top of the batter, saving one for garnish. Pour the remainder of the batter on top. Garnish with the remaining apple slice.
Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or bake on 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle more cinnamon on the top, if you wish.
*I actually doubled the amount of almond milk I used this time and I think it turned out nicely.
Highly suggested toppings: Greek yogurt, sunflower seed butter, and maple syrup.
This morning, I made a breakfast cake for both Brad and I. I think he was a little surprised about the texture. He was expecting cake-y and although I call this a breakfast cake, it's much more dense and dry because I make it with oat bran.
Just FYI, in case you think it might actually taste like cake. It's cake-like in shape, but that's where the similarities end. I still think it's pretty delicious and a nice change to traditional oats or oat bran.

Understanding Price Action PDF
Understanding Price Action PDF will give you an outline of what exactly is price action, it is yours and I hope you are able to understand the information that I am going to present to you. I do know that by following the right process of learning you can easily learn to trade forex much more effective. By applying simple techniques that over period of time will play out to be more consistently profitable. Go ahead and get your copy of of Understanding Price Action PDF below.

Understanding Price Action Trading
Understanding Price Action Trading is a skill every trader needs to learn, It is the equivalent to learning how to read a book from left to right pages. The reason why you should learn how to trade price action is because as a retail trader that is really our only strongest tool in the shed that we have as currency traders. Because it is what is happening at this exact moment.
Many use different time frames, and I want to share this video with you of a trade I took on USD/CAD from a stand point to where I have my strategy in place and I am using price action to dictate on whether or not I enter the trade. Learning and understanding price action trading is crucial to becoming a professional trader and I hope I am able to illustrate that, enjoy.
Profit by Understanding Price Action
Profit by Understanding Price Action can be very profitable when you know what you are doing and when you know exactly how to approach it, for example when you have a market that is being bought and it has been bought so much that the next ebb and flow of the market is for it to go down, right? but how can you profit just by knowing such a simple type of information. In forex there are prices and levels that market makers are looking to sell and there are levels they are looking to buy. Having the correct understanding price action can help a lot because once market makers have shown their hand and have faked everyone out, it is our job to interpret that and be able to trade the specific currency that is is being watched at those specific price action levels.
I want to explain, if you watch the video below, you will noticed it is a USD/CAD chart, at the time there was a sell at that 1.3414 level, noticed that dark colored red shaded area. The sell was right on that line of dark shaded area of red. At the moment by understanding price action you will see that particular price level was being respected and instead of USD/CAD continuing to go higher, it went lower thus giving some points and making it a profitable trading setup.
Anyone can do this and learn how to be able to master the art and skill of understanding price action. But you will have to put in the work. Nothing great gets done without putting in the work. Remember, when you where born you didn't just get up and start running, you didn't you have to learn how to crawl, how to stand, then how to walk and later you were eventually able to run.

The American Concentration Inc., Fascist anti-Semitic organization, which was organized more than a year ago emerged into the open yesterday with a program calling for a fight against the "Jewish Communists."
Major John T. Prout, confidential clerk to Comptroller Joseph P. McGoldrick, is commander-in-chief, or "Consul" of the new Fascist organization. He was busy yesterday explaining that he was acting entirely on his own responsibility and that his connection with the revived Fascist outfit had nothing to do with the Comptroller.
In an interview with the Jewish Daily Bulletin Major Prout explained that the group he now heads was "purely devoted to fighting Communism in the United States, but it is my impression that Jews predominate in the Communist movement." He denied that he personally was biased toward any race adding "some of my best friends are Jewish." of his organization held Sunday at.
He admitted that at a meeting 611 Broadway, headquarters of the group, he had spoken on the same program with Louis Zahne, bitter anti-Semite, and leader of Nazified Friends of New Germany.
"I did not know who Zahne was," Prout declared, "or what organization he represented. Zahne spoke at length about 'Asiatics' and only towards the end of his speech did it dawn on me that he was speaking about the Jews."
"I am against Communists no matter what their nationality and I intend to use the organization to prevent the rise and progress of Communism in the United States. Ever since the last May Day parade of the Communists I determined to do something about the matter. It was my impression that Jews predominated in the parade."
Major Prout stated that he had been invited to the meeting on Sunday by another Irishman, and that when he heard of the program of the organization, he immediately accepted the leadership and became "Consul" with "a life-time tenure since the spirit of the A. C. is that the Consul can do no wrong."
The Major is a veteran of the United States army, having served overseas during the World War. During the Irish rebellion and later in the Free State army, he held the rank of Major General.
He disclaimed all knowledge of the ambitious Fascist program of the American Concentration, declaring that he was interested only "in fighting Communists, no matter what their nationality."
At the office of the American Concentration Inc., Raphael Mucilli, a naturalized Italian with a heavy accent, who described himself as the originator of the movement, "but now second in command," did the talking.
When the Bulletin reporter walked into the bare office Mucilli was dictating in Italian to a secretary. He halted his dictation to explain the program of the organization.
At a table working away busily was a man who was introduced merely as "Citizen Racchoni, former Brigadier General in the Khaki Shirts." The General, however, spoke no English and Mucilli acted as interpreter.
Mucilli admitted readily that his organization had taken over most of the defunct Khaki Shirt outfit.
"You see," he said, "they came over to us after, shall we say, the 'demise' of commander-in-chief Art J. Smith." Smith is now serving a seven year sentence for perjury in connection with the murder of Athos Terzani at a Fascist meeting in Queens.
"I started this movement about three years ago," Mucilli declared. On June 12, 1933, I obtained a state charter for the organization. you can see it on the wall.
"True, most of our members are Italians and Fascists, but I kept the movement quiet until we could get genuine native Americans into our organizations. Now we have Major General Prout as our commander and we are ready to come into the open.
"We have several thousand members. I can't tell you exactly how many, that is secret. But I can tell you that we are making tremendous inroads among the Italian Fusion clubs here in New York City. Only a few days ago 500 members of those clubs came over as a group to our organization. So far all our contacts and members come from the Italians, but we hope to have the American elements with us soon.
"I am a great patriot for America," Mucilli assented. "Like all immigrants, I am perhaps too patriotic, but I can't help that."
Asked about a statement against the anti-Nazi boycott credited to Major Prout, Mucilli quickly declared that he was responsible for the statement. "We are against all boycotts because of our intense nationalism," he said. Mucilli declared that he and Major Prout were the speakers, omitting the name of Zahne and the fact that many German Nazis, most of whom could not speak English had also been at the meeting on Sunday.
"The program of our organization," Mucilli stated, "calls for the most intense nationalism. We demand a conscript army in which all American youth must serve. We also call for intense imperialistic expansion until the entire Western Hemisphere is under the American flag and speaks only one language. We also demand the abolition, of the states and the division of the country into thirteen prefectural divisions which shall be ruled by prefects appointed by the leader.
"Those who join our ranks now and become 'regimented citizens who place themselves at the disposal of the organization' will enjoy special privileges later."
The outfit's uniform is a blue shirt, blue trousers, blue beret and Sam Browne belt.
Membership charges are two dollars a year, plus a one dollar initiation, plus fifty cents dues monthly. To this must be added the cost of the uniform. Mucilli refused to say how the uniforms are procured and whether like Smith's Khaki Shirts, the shirt selling business was the chief feature of the organization.
The motto of the organization according to Mucilli is "For God, Country and Home." The salute is "Hail America" and the response is "All for all."
Asked whether the part of the program calling for "regimented citizens" did not mean the creation of storm troops in New York, Mucilli refused to comment. He admitted that the entire program was based on a military concept and called for a military organization with rigid military discipline to all commands by superior officers."
He asked for the reporter's name, asking his secretary to note it "in case any dirty work is done by your paper." As the reporter left the room, the "fuehrers" rose and gave him the Fascist salute with outstretched arms.

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method provides an indication of the relative smoke producing properties of kerosines and aviation turbine fuels in a diffusion flame. The smoke point is related to the hydrocarbon type composition of such fuels. Generally the more aromatic the fuel the smokier the flame. A high smoke point indicates a fuel of low smoke producing tendency.
5.2 The smoke point is quantitatively related to the potential radiant heat transfer from the combustion products of the fuel. Because radiant heat transfer exerts a strong influence on the metal temperature of combustor liners and other hot section parts of gas turbines, the smoke point provides a basis for correlation of fuel characteristics with the life of these components.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers two procedures for determination of the smoke point of kerosine and aviation turbine fuel, a manual procedure and an automated procedure, which give results with different precision.
1.2 An interlaboratory study was conducted in 2012 (see ASTM RR:D02-1747 for supporting data) involving 11 manual laboratories and 13 automated laboratories, with 15 samples tested in blind duplicate. The automated procedure demonstrated objective rating and superior control and should be considered the preferred approach.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

HERMIONE GART is Hilda Doolittle's alter ego transported from her 1906 "Paint It Today," into Louise Bialik's psychotropical-fruity-looped
brain. A Creek daughter of the Ozarks brought up to believe she was an Armenian from Hollywood, Louise was instructed by her
adoptive father, Gomidas, on how to sing the liturgical hymns of St James, Jerusalem. Afterwhich, the girl child was sent
out to the streets for carnie living among truck drivers and Gong Show rejects, when she was rescued by Iron Eyes Cody and
the vegan animal rights activist, Lucile Lindbergh. Together with her new mentors, Louise set out to save the world by wearing
fake fur and standing in front of civil buildings with signs that read EMPATHY NOW!
Louise's first stage appearance occurred in 1976 with the Burbank Children's Choir, moving on to Sweet Adelines. She regularly
gave the weather report for Rick Dees 93 KHJ Radio and danced on Wolfman Jack's Midnight Special with Warren Zevon, and secretly
listened to the Dr Demento radio show through her pillow, becoming intrigued by the world of Barnes and Barnes, Weird Al,
and the Plasmatics. Louise and her three brothers began podcasting over sideband radio and fuzzyphone, recording hundreds
of hours of nerd electronica. By 1978, the braided teen was clubbed by new wave, only to cut off all her hair and join THE
Around 1982, Louise changed her name to Dye Morbid and became a regular at the ANTI-CLUB and THEORETICAL SOCIETY, juggling
gigs with HAIRCUTS THAT KILL and SAVAGE REPUBLIC, when she was befriended by poet, Jack Brewer of SACCHARINE TRUST. Together,
Jack and Louise formed SANDBOX and she stopped being Dye. Come 1985, Louise moved from Savage Republic and into 17 PYGMIES,
signing on with Island Records. There were also a number of stage shows including THEATRE CARNIVALE and ANAPHORIA with Kraig
Grady. While at UCLA, Louise majored in Poetics under Stephen Yenser and JD McClatchy, minoring in art performance with Peter
Sellars, and Javanese court gamelan dance under Miroto Martinez.
Today, Louise is pleased as a peach to present new tunes by COMITATUS, a watershed of new shiney sparkly gems with BARDACID
of Walking Cow in Florence, Italy and KRAUTIOPHARM of M.E.K.K.A., Augsburg, Germany, now in record mode with the Ultimate
Producer... KRAMER. AND... WAIT, THERE'S MORE.... revisit this page because never before released 4-TRACK demos from long
ago and current projects are being uploaded for your downloading pleasure.... The flavors will or soon shall include collaborations
with NICO VOLVOX, JACK BREWER, RUNNING WOMAN IDEA, SANDBOX, BRAD LANER, ROSZ MANTRA, OVER TURNER, JEZ, SPARKLEGIRL, ZWEI ZUM
BEAMAN, and PHASME. If you are an experimental musician and would like to trade files, email me! I love sound. All the best

The widow of the top police officer found dead on a Welsh mountainside said yesterday that he had told her he loved her the last time they had spoken.
The body of Mike Todd, chief constable of Greater Manchester police, was discovered on Snowdon on Tuesday.
Yesterday, amid press speculation about his private life, his widow, Carolyn, said she, her husband and three children had just returned from a holiday in Jamaica. She spoke as an inquest into the death of her husband was opened and adjourned.
The inquest heard Todd had drunk alcohol, but there was no obvious sign of any injury severe enough to cost his life.
In a statement, Carolyn Todd, 50, said she and the couple's three children were "struggling to come to terms" with the death of her husband.
Todd, 50, spent his weeks in Manchester, returning to the family home in Notinghamshire at weekends which his wife shared with their daughter, Catherine, 16, and twin boys David and Matthew, 13.
Mrs Todd said: "Michael was a caring and loving father and husband. He was immensely proud of his kids. He worked away from home on the second most important thing in his life, his job, returning to us at the weekend."
"I loved Michael very much and the last time I spoke to him he told me he loved me too. We have been married for 27 years and eight months." She asked the media to let the family grieve in peace."
The inquest in Anglesey heard that before his death Todd had been drinking.
He was found dead on Tuesday after a search prompted by phone messages he sent which left his friends fearing he was in a distressed state.
His body was brought down the mountain in driving snow and heavy winds.
The inquest heard he had been fully-clothed. He was found without a coat.
The coroner, Dewi Pritchard-Jones, said: "There was no evidence this man had jumped from height or sustained any significant injuries."
Dr Anthony Caslin, who conducted the postmortem examination on Wednesday, added that there was no sign of fractures to the spine, skull, ribs and major limbs. All the major organs were normal.
The only visible injuries were minor cuts above the right eye, on the nose, to the left shin and right hand. Caslin described them all as "superficial".
Todd's blood alcohol level was 105 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80 per 100 millilitres. The coroner asked: "So, not a huge amount of alcohol then?"
Caslin replied: "No, sir. It would probably have been higher several hours prior to death as the urine level was quite high."
Further toxicology tests will be carried out on the police chief's blood. "In the light of that I have withheld the cause of death until the tests are done," said Caslin.
The hearing was adjourned until a date to be fixed. Police are not treating the death as suspicious.

Australian Beer Company has launched Yenda Green Hop, a new, limited edition craft beer in collaboration with spirits ambassadors from The Exchange team.
Yenda Green Hop
Only 280 cases were brewed and the beer will be sold as a Boilermaker with Highland Park 12-Year-Old Single Malt in August.
Yenda Green Hop is a collaboration between Yenda brewers and whisky expert Dan Woolley. After an extensive tasting of a range of whiskies which included Highland Park, The Macallan, Maker's Mark, Knob Creek Rye and Basil Hayden's, Highland Park 12 yo single malt was the chosen malt.
To complement the whisky's floral nose, heathery taste profile with a hint of peat, Yenda's brewers chose green hops, picked green from the bine and used immediately. Vic Secret and Galaxy hops were sourced from Rostrevor Hop Farm in Bright in Victoria. After they were brewed, some brew was set aside and the remainder was put into ex-whisky barrels for three months before the final blending.
Yenda Green Hop joins Yenda craft beer range we featured earlier in the year that includes the winter seasonal Chocolate and Vanilla Stout, as well as Yenda Pale, IPA, Golden, Red and Hell.
You'll find it exclusively as a Boilermaker serve at key venues including Surly's (Sydney), Beer Deluxe Fed Square (Melbourne), Cobbler (Brisbane), Hains & Co (Adelaide) and Flour Factory (Perth).

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
to all these who have Beta keys, feel free to post in other forums, more kicked out of Beta -> more new invites!
...remembering these days where the front page was full with leaked beta information from wow... sad what had happened since then
Quite comical really, but hey the rules are the rules.
My Cracked articles, writing blog, and Twitter.
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.
Want to chat with people who aren't idiots? Join our IRC.
I might be a complete noob here but there are thousands of Beta videos on Youtube?
I guess some people just don't understand the concept of following the rules.
I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
Just covering my back before i begin, this is not me trying to challenge the use of an NDA I understand why its there and agree with it. But it makes me think, what do they have to hide still?
It's not to hide things, it's to regulate information flows, when they want it, how they want it.
Everything about the beta is under the NDA. I know people are extremely excited, but if we start allowing people to break the NDA, ArenaNet will be extremely unhappy, and we'll start getting mean emails.
Please just don't post anything that breaks the NDA. We don't want to ruin anyone's fun, but we have to follow the rules.
If you have complaints about mods, you're welcome to send them via PM to me or Boubouille, or to use the "Contact Us" button on the top bar. There's no point in making a huge drama on the forums; it's not productive at all.

Zombie Cliche Lookout: Reliable Unreliability
Today's cliche is by no means exclusive to zombie fiction. Rather, it's a mainstay in modern horror in general. I'm talking, of course, about vehicles that stubbornly refuse to start when a character needs to use it to get away. That car might have worked flawless in every other scene (although writers often foreshadow this cliche by having the character have minor vehicle problems earlier), but when it really counts, the car just won't start. As someone who once drove a vehicle that regularly burned up starters, I can tell you this is a very frustrating problem, even when not being chased by the walking dead.
About this Episode:
While the truck isn't starting, between the noise of the attempts and the zombies already chasing Barb, it seems like she's already garnered a pretty good audience. While she is indeed off the ground a fair bit, she does seem to be within the possible reach of one of two of those zeds. I really wish I would have thought to modify this set more to include more of a real window.
Discussion Question: Cars Today
I feel like this trope should begin to die out in the near future. Cars today just seem much more reliable than the cars of yesteryear. In fact, when I picture a car not starting, it's never a vehicle manufactured in the last couple of decades. It's generally something from the 1980s or earlier, especially vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s.
Now I don't know a damn thing about cars, so maybe I'm completely misinterpreting this. But in the case that I'm not, what would have changed between now and then to make the cars that much more reliable? Computer controls? No more carburetors? Come on, car people, school me on this.

Time for China to Take Its Place
We have witnessed in recent days an extraordinary event, the ripples of which will keep spreading through our world for months and years.
No, not the WikiLeaks cables, interesting as they are. The epochal event is the empty chair.
The poetic symbolism of honouring, in the dignified and moving Nobel Peace Prize ceremony on Friday, an empty chair on which the award for Liu Xiaobo was placed exquisitely captures the significance of this honour.
The weight of the event was magnified immeasurably by Liu, one of the most civil and wise people I have interviewed, being jailed, and his wife Liu Xia and all their closest supporters being banned from leaving China.
The ruling Communist Party drew far greater attention to itself as a crucial actor in this sphere of peace, freedom and justice - with many of its actions in repressing Liu and his colleagues taken in defiance of China's constitution. China has engaged healthily and fully in the global economy. This is the shift, led by Deng Xiaoping 32 years ago, that has driven China's wonderful new prosperity. But while Chinese people have won greater personal freedoms, and China has become assiduous in attending multilateral meetings, it is not playing the role it could or should - the role that World Bank chief Bob Zoellick described as that of a responsible stakeholder in big global issues.
This is because its ruling party remains riveted by anxiety about its legitimacy. It worries that any debate anywhere about governance may threaten that legitimacy and thus continued rule at home.
So Beijing battles relentlessly to prevent interference in the domestic affairs of countries run far worse than China itself, concerned that if the world supports change in those rogue nations, the resulting wind will fill the sails of such interfering busybodies.
The empty chair in Oslo's Town Hall last Friday was not only that of Liu, but of China itself. The world is still waiting for China to play its proper, full role in international affairs. The perversity of such a successful, civilised nation playing a dominant role as a backer - if sometimes merely by default - of cruel, failed or failing states is intensely frustrating.
China attempted to deflect attention by launching its own Confucius Prize, awarded the day before to Lien Chan, a Kuomintang (Nationalist) politician in Taiwan involved in the rapprochement between Taiwan and China. But the organisers failed to let Lien know, or to persuade him to attend. So the award in the very un-Confucian shape of a bundle of renminbi notes worth $15,000, was received instead by a six-year-old girl, the angel of peace.
Recent WikiLeaks cables on Burma and North Korea underline the importance of persuading China to fill that empty chair as a member of the global community.
George W. Bush got more than a few things wrong in his presidency, but he was right to brand North Korea as a founding member of the Axis of Evil. Now it looks as if Burma is vying to replace Iraq in that triumvirate, with Iran the third member.
What the Burma and North Korea regimes, especially, have in common is that they receive crucial backing from Beijing.
The WikiLeaks cables underline the immense threats to the peace and lives of much of the world that emanate from the North Korean crusade to promote nuclear weapons proliferation.
The hand-wringing response by the rest of the world to the military strikes by North Korea against the South this year, and its rapid upgrading of its nuclear capacity, provides a deeply troubling backdrop to last week's revelations.
If Burma's recent election has brought with it genuine accountability and openness, some hope might have emerged that the new government there might respond to international anxiety about these nuclear alarms. But it was a Clayton's election, and it responded with its usual dead bat.
Accommodating approaches to North Korea and to Burma have not made dents on those countries' core governance.
Is there a plan B for Burma or, more worryingly, North Korea? One fears not. The only plan B that will defuse this dangerous international trend is for China to change. When Liu Xiaobo can receive his Nobel award in a way that also naturally honours his own nation, China will fill that empty seat in global governance.

Its been some time I was searching for ways with which I could embed our Technixmedia youtube channel feed which could fetch the recently uploaded videos from the channel and show them in a sidebar of our gadgets to use blog www.getmeapp.com
After some searching I landed on this page which gave me a script which I can use simply after changing the channel name, however it does not work as I wanted it to be. The embed code is as follows.
<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>
As you can see in the code above, you just need to replace your channel name with YourChannelName – after changing the name you can copy the above code and use it on any other website. Just in case if you are on a wordpress blog with same situation. In such case you can install the wordpress plugin WP Youtube Channel Gallery which allows you to show up the recent videos from your youtube video channel.
Once you have installed this plugin, you can easily place the video by using widgets in wordpress in sidebar, it will ask you to define Title above these videos from technixmedia channel, then write down the channel name, you can also specify how many recent videos it should show and then he size in width for each video frame as you can see in the image below.

Martens Joins Solar Bat: To Design New Line of Sunglasses
May 12, 2014
Leeds, Ala. - Solar Bat Sunglasses and professional B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler Aaron have teamed up to design a line of sunglasses for the serious bass fisherman.
Optometrist and owner of Solar Bat Dr. Gary Nesty stated, "I am excited to team with Aaron to design and market an Aaron Martens' Signature Series line of sunglasses. Aaron is one of the premier bass fishermen in the USA with a list of credentials that speak for themselves. Aaron is also know by his peers as one of, if not the most, meticulous, well organized and innovative fishermen on the B.A.S.S. Elite Trail. Solar Bat will utilize Aaron's attention to detail to produce an outstanding line of sunglasses worthy of Aaron's signature."
The 2005 and 2013 B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year added, "I am looking forward to working with a sunglass company that listens and responds to the needs of bass fisherman. Solar Bat has unique polarized tints that will improve performance on the water, and I rely heavily on my vision when I am fishing. I am excited to work with Dr. Nesty and his knowledge of vision and lens tints to produce a superior line of lenses. Pair that with some good looking frames, and we'll have a great line of glasses that will help anglers catch more fish as well as look good. Overall, I am excited to be working with a sunglass company where fisherman and vision are its top priorities."
Martens' next event is this week on Lake Dardanelle in Russellville, Arkansas. Martens is currently ranked ninth in the 2014 B.A.S.S. Elite Series Angler of the Year Standings. #aaronmartens
Attention everyone! We, here at Solar Bat Sunglasses, are very excited to announce our new partnership with the famous fishing legend Bill Dance. Drawing upon Bill's experience as a professional fisherman and the expertise of our founder Dr. Gary Nesty, Solar Bat will be producing the best fishing sunglasses ever.
The new line of sunglasses, suitable for anglers of all ages, will be launched late Spring or Summer 2014.

2015 Event Entry Process
Entries Into the 2015 Kep Ultra Sold Out, Wait List is Full.
Entries in the Kep Ultra are restricted to ~75 runners over both events, The entry process for 2015 will be similar to that for the 2014 event, we will again have a ballot system.
Entries will open in two phases. The first phase of entries will be restricted to those who volunteered at Kep Ultra 2014. The first phase entries will open at 12 Noon Western Standard Time on Sunday 4 January 2015, and close at Midnight, Friday 9 January. The second phase is for all other entrants. The second phase entry process will open at 12 Noon WST on Saturday 10 January 2015 where people can nominate to participate in the entry ballot. This nomination process closes at 12 Noon WST on Sunday 11 January. Once the ballot nomination process has closed, a ballot will take place where the remaining places in the field (100 places less the number of volunteers who have entered) will be randomly selected from those who entered ballot. This allows for natural attrition of people withdrawing from the race to get the total entries back to the 75 maximum. Those who are successful in the ballot will receive an email with a link to the official entry form, and must enter the event by 12 Noon WST Tuesday 13 January. Should there be people who registered for the ballot, and have not been successful in securing a place in the ballot, they will be added to a waiting list if they nominated this option on the entry form. Should there still be places available after the above process has been completed, a link will be made available on the website at 12 Noon WST on Wednesday 14 January, allowing people to directly enter the event.

Dishing with Andie MacDowell /July 2011
"Where: Early Girl Eatery in Asheville, NC. "It's like a greasy diner without the grease," says Andie. On her plate:…eggs over easy, grits and vegetarian biscuits with gravy."
Southern Living
Best Breakfasts in North Carolina / March 2010
"This beloved Wall Street institution serves a wide variety of breakfasts all day, drawing from local produce. Co-founders and owners Julie and John Stehling (vegetarian and pork lover respectively) value the other's veggies or pork, so tasty tofu and delectable local sausage live in harmony on the menu. You'll find grit cakes topped with tomato , spinach, poached eggs, tomato gravy and avocado for the non-meat crowd. Bacon, country ham, or local sausage are also readily available here. DON'T MISS: Vegan Tofu Scramble, Local Sausage and Sweet Potato Scramble"
Bon Appetit
Early Girl Eatery/ Asheville, NC / January 2009
Who says southern food is just for carnivores? Here, diners can order eggs with bacon, local sausage, country ham – or tempeh. This old-school-meets-New-Age vibe runs throughout the menu, where there's a Vegan Tofu Scramble and Shrimp and Grits. The delicious hybrid is a reflection of owners John and Julie Stehling. He comes from a long line of southern cooks; she's all about wellness. Best of The Year "Top of the Morning: More Breakfast Spots We Love"
Bon Appetit
Feature / February 2009
Is a satisfying pork-free southern breakfast possible? We'll let the biscuit with vegetarian herb-cream gravy and the vegan tofu scramble at this hip Asheville spot answer that question. There's no letdown at dinner, with sweet potato-black bean cakes, tempeh Reuben, and, for meat lovers, local lamb shanks. "Modern Vegetarian"
New York Times
Feature / September 2007
"Grab a hearty but healthy breakfast at the Early Girl Eatery, a friendly haunt of hip Ashevillians for the past six years that culls its ingredients from local farmers. Try the sausage and sweet potato scramble, a delicious mix of eggs, sausage, shiitake mushrooms, spices and sweet potatoes."
New York Times
Feature / September 2002
"Freshness is the appeal of Early Girl Eatery…named for a tomato popular with gardeners. The long list of vegetables may include baked lima beans and squash casserole. Entrees like roast chicken with herb gravy are straightforward and flavorful. The uncluttered dining room is decorated with jars of home-canned vegetables and plants hanging in the windows. Dinner for two with wine is about $50."
National Geographic Traveler
Feature / September 2007
"Well before "locavore" became a buzz word, John and Julie Stehling looked to local sources to supply their Asheville, NC restaurant, the Early Girl Eatery. They wanted to support farmers making the transition from tobacco to food. Named for a cool-climate tomato, Early Girl is one of a growing number of innovative restaurants in town showcasing the bounty of today's Appalachia and drawing visitors to their tables."
USA Today
Feature / May 2007
"For the ethically picky, Early Girl Eatery, Asheville, NC"
Southern Living
Feature / March 2003
"Morning at its best — start with breakfast at Early Girl Eatery. They serve lunch and dinner too, but I had to try a lazy Saturday morning feast. I skipped the tofu scramble. (You'll see a lot of tofu on menus in this town). But the stack of buttermilk pancakes with double-cut bacon on the side wonderfully satisfied my a.m. appetite. The stone-ground grits they serve are milled nearby and come with a generous pat of butter. Biscuits arrive at the table with that soothing flavor of home — without you making the effort or mess in your own kitchen. John and Julie Stehling own this place, and John's brother runs the slightly similar Hominy Grill in Charleston, South Carolina — another favorite we've shared with you in the past.
Feature / October 2003
"Coining a restaurant name and marrying it with a logo that captures the prevailing gestalt is no small task. John and Julie Stehling, owners of the two-year-old Early Girl Eatery, in Asheville, North Carolina, wanted something that would herald their commitment to fresh-from-the-farm vegetables. Pattypan Squash was fey; Better Boy was in-your face. Early Girl, a reference to an early-maturing tomato, was a last-minute choice. Emblazoned with a pop-art logo that has a retro naivete, Early Girl T-shirts are now snapped up by visiting and local fans alike."
Organic Style
Feature /January/February 2004
Like the hybrid tomato for which it is named, this restaurant was a quick bloomer. Thanks to careful groundwork, success hit soon after John and Julie Stehling opened their casual, organic-driven restaurant in downtown Asheville in October 2001. "When we moved here, we spent three months driving around, meeting farmers, and joining everything we could think of to get in the loop," says John, the executive chef, who made partnerships with more than a dozen area growers for the menu and local artists for the funky, festive decor.
Turning Point
"I worked as a cook at a dance festival in western Massachusetts — there were a lot of macrobiotic people and international performers from Cambodia and the rest of the world. I was exposed to different eating habits, and it raised my awareness."
Signature Dish
"Spinach potato cakes — they're almost like latkes. We take cooked potatoes and run them through the ricer; add local cheese, organic eggs, cooked fresh spinach, lemon zest; and top it with a seasonal tomato gravy."

"We work with the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, which is trying to shift farmers from tobacco to organic-produce crops."

Flicker Tree, The: Okanagan Poems
The Flicker Tree
Okanagan Poems
by Nancy Holmes
- September 2012
- ebook ISBN 978-1-55380-184-9
- 6″ x 9″ Trade Paperback, 100 pp
- Poetry
How do we learn to be where we live? How can a 21st-century mind, saturated with the culture and metaphors of contemporary life, connect to the natural world that surrounds us? In Nancy Holmes' new book of poetry, these questions are asked of her home, the Okanagan valley in the southern interior of British Columbia. In these poems, as Holmes comes to terms with personal grief, she tries to find consolation in the place she shares with other beings. Holmes' poetry looks for relationships with the prickly pear cacti, bluebunch wheatgrass, the black bears, the coyotes, and the northern flickers. She seeks to embed herself in the geography and consciousness of this arid Western landscape, one of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada, a landscape of great beauty and spiritual power with its volcanic glaciated mountains and fragile long lakes. The result is poetry that is both elegiac and humorous, with a vision often skewed by the lenses of mass media, anxiety, and the obsessions of the contemporary world. Sometimes disturbed and questioning, sometimes delighted and awed, sometimes troubled by the history of settlers and indigenous peoples, the poems explore our complicity in the destruction of, and our love for, the wild animals, plants, and places around us.

Reviews & Awards
Shortlisted for the 2013 Raymond Souster Award by the League of Canadian Poets.
"[Holmes'] poetry teases out the delicate connections between flora and fauna, and all in reference to her particular place, the Okanagan valley. The title poem has us stop, listen, and plug in to the immense energy and surprising messages that come from all around us." – Literary Press Group
"[The Flicker Tree has] moments of hilarity, passages that will break your heart, and a consistent voice of reason tinged with beauty. . . This sort of poetic wit, intelligence and splendour is a rare combination." – Michael Dennis
"Despite foregoing the 'fields. . .pruned into harps / and forks' in order to peer 'in wild spots' ("Song and Sustenance"), the Romantic impulse to connect self to nature persists. . . . For though Holmes, like the Romantics, may see the aesthetic value in ruin—'the woods are grazed and thin, / wrecked with beautiful litter'("Earth Star")—she also joins in their lament for a damaged world." – Arc Magazine, Lise Gaston

Gosh that is an interesting cover. I wonder if there was a tight deadline and an art director took elements from a rejected cover and recomposed them by pinning them to a bulletin board.
I also wonder if perhaps you have a time machine? You seem to post stuff from over 40 years ago.
Thanks for the post.

Chapter History
Farmers and other people interested in alternatives to conventional farming formed the South Central Chapter in the late 1980s. Some of the founding members were originally members of the first SFA chapter that met in Lewiston, Minn. Also, many of the founding members belonged to the Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa Ridge Till Club that held its meetings in Albert Lea, Minn. The SMNI Ridge Till Club emphasized sharing of information between farmers and helped many farmers convert from conventional tillage to ridge tillage. The chapter also received help in the beginning from a non-profit group, the Land Stewardship Project, which started the first SFA chapter and several other SFA chapters.
SCSFA sponsors educational programs that are common to all SFA chapters including an annual winter meeting with guest speakers, farm tours and field days, and some other farmer-led projects. In late summer we usually gather for a potluck meal followed by a short program on some topic of interest to our members. Our chapter has also organized many small informal meetings in homes or other locations covering many different topics related to sustainable farming. Some of our members are organic farmers and have helped other members convert to organic farming, while other members use sustainable farming methods but are not organic farmers.
Our board meets monthly during most of the year to plan activities and conduct business. We were participants in the SFA Festival of Farms which included a tour of Hope Creamery, the Sunopta specialty grain elevator, and the Wencl organic dairy farm. Our chapter has also helped with the Lutteke organic field day near Wells, Minn., and provided food for a Weston Price meeting on nutrition. Most of our members reside in Mower, Freeborn, Faribault, Blue Earth, Waseca, Nicollet, and Steele Counties. The membership of our chapter includes small-scale producers of locally marketed food and larger farms devoted to grain and livestock production, as well as some supporters of sustainable farming who are not farmers.

Happy Hippy
But I digress. The last near-month has seen some interesting developments in my groin region, though it's not what you (or I) might like to think it is. First, I've been to told to try "running", and so I have. Not often, mind you. But a few times. Three to be exact.
The first time I did a walk-run thing for fifteen minutes around the neighbourhood. I can barely remember what happened, but I do know that my right Achilles was not pleased with my attempt and hurt like a s.o.b. for the next week. The groin thing was tight, but not what I could describe as painful. Verdict: meh.
The second was this past Saturday when I ran over to a park with my older loin-fruit to play a bit of catch. Ten minutes there, the aforementioned catch, and five minutes back. Not the walk-run method or anything! Verdict: stoked!
The third was this past Sunday when the clan ventured to a park on the Ottawa River and I was joined by my lovely Wife (for the first bit) and my younger loin-fruit (for the duration). We ran on trails and that is so much more enjoyable than concrete in my opinion. Perhaps the novelty will wear off, but given that I don't really have access to trails I doubt it. Anyway, we ran for fifteen minutes straight, then walked for quite a bit at which point the loin-fruit said we should run back to the car to play some catch. So, we did, for another five minutes (he only wanted to run on the "soft" trails as his feet were hurting from all the "hard surfaces"). Who was I to argue! Verdict: fun!
Final tally: three runs, one Achilles tendon ailment, and some progress in the groin region. After this past weekend my right calf is tight and I should probably be concerned, but I don't give a shit because I got to actually do some running, slow as it was.
Anyway, the other thing to mention is that I had a bone scan last week. Still waiting on the results. Hope it actually reveals something. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will do no such thing...
If you want to know what a bone scan is you have access to all that the Internet will allow. I'm too frustrated with this whole process to help you out beyond including a hyperlink to something that MIGHT be correct, but probably is misleading in some way.

Ray Avila lay on the operating table with a messy, fist-size hole in his back, as Dr. Giancarlo Barolat burned flesh, sliced fat and peeled cartilage to make the wound even bigger.
Barolat scraped down, sideways and down again to the silvery sheath of Avila's spinal cord, flashing like the back of a fish in murky water.
An hour into the procedure, Avila's back was splayed open to the contradiction of neurosurgery: enduring violence to the body to halt the agony of chronic pain.
Avila was about to receive a form of pacemaker for the back, tiny electrodes laid precisely on his spinal cord that would fend off pain impulses with steady shots of electron juice.
Nearly 17,000 Americans are dying of painkiller abuse each year, in a growing phenomenon the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls an epidemic. Barolat, a neurosurgeon at Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, specializes in an implant surgery that allows many patients to give up those pills, but which some specialists see as marginally effective and a masking rather than a solving of the pain.
Avila knew that; he'd done his reading, he said.
Barolat, who insists on patients calling him Uncle Giancarlo, laid two flat paddles of electrical leads atop the sacred spinal cord. The doctor said aloud what went without saying for the eight professionals crowded into the surgery suite: One slip meant paralysis for Avila.
He then ran wires down the spine toward another large slit Avila would feel later, and to a battery pack embedded in yet a third spinal hole the size of a deck of cards.
Light him up, Barolat ordered, and a surgery technician from manufacturer Boston Scientific used a laptop computer to begin tuning the electricity pulsing through the leads on Avila's spine.
Now wake him up, Barolat ordered, and anesthesiologist Chris Huser began drawing Avila out of his drugged slumber, three holes still gaping wide as ever in his back.
"Ray? Ray!" shouted Barolat, as Huser cradled Avila's head and massaged his neck muscles to help conjure consciousness.
Wake up Ray! Do you know where you are? Do you know why you're here?
"Stimulator," Avila finally groaned.
Where the hopeless go
Barolat's busy table at Presbyterian-St. Luke's is where the hopeless go, when they have already tried dozens of surgeries, swallowed accumulating buckets of pain pills, begun dreading a life defined by hurt and openly contemplated suicide as an alternative to endless suffering.
Weeping with exhaustion by the time they arrive at his office, they see Uncle Giancarlo, who utters one phrase they will cling to ever after: "I can fix you."
The funny thing is, after thousands of installations of once-radical spinal stimulator devices, neither Barolat nor anyone else knows exactly what fixes them. Experts think the pacemaker pulses scramble pain signals before they hit the brain. Or maybe block them.
Doesn't matter, patients say. It works, often enough at least that they jump at the chance. That is, if they could still jump.
Most of them, like 17-year-old Ashlee Lipinski, can barely move before they see Barolat. Any physical effort is a trial whose cost-benefit ratio must be weighed a hundred times a day.
The Greenwood Village teen dislocated her kneecap four years ago, in a freak kitchen accident, nothing more dramatic than twisting the wrong way from the dishwasher she was unloading. Immediately, a young life of gymnastics, Jet Skis and skydiving dreams collapsed in a pain she describes as being stabbed with knives.
ER doctors replaced the right kneecap, but recommended surgery. The knee surgery twisted the cap back into alignment and redirected a binding ligament. Yet not only did Lipinski's pain never leave, it deepened and spread downward and upward, eventually discoloring her feet and clouding high school life in a fog of ineffective painkillers.
"You get to the point you just can't take it anymore," said Lipinski, a graduating senior at Cherry Creek High School.
Her first surgeon suggested the pain was all in her head and recommended a long psychiatric examination. Lipinski, quietly defiant, considered it a referral to a cuckoo's nest, and sought other help.
Second opinions told the family she had developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. The layman's term is, "Don't touch me, anywhere." Denim brushing a leg nerve prompts a burning flinch. A bump against a coffee table means an afternoon in bed.
That's when the Lipinskis found Barolat.
Industrial accident
Ray Avila's chronic pain hits him in the legs, the hips and the lower back, more than 20 years after a slaughterhouse injury in northern Colorado. He's been through 10 surgeries, spinal fusion, countless chiropractors and enough pain pills to restock a pharmacy.
He would like to be able to chase the youngest of his six children without debating the worth of standing up, sit through college graduations without narcotics.
More damage had to be done before Avila was done. A few steps away in the OR, Uncle Giancarlo crunched through the corners of Avila's vertebrae with bone-cutting forceps.
Laying the flat paddles on Avila's exposed spinal cord was a game of millimeters. When they first woke Avila up and lit the electricity, he kept feeling the healing tingle in his ribs instead of his legs. Then, he felt it too much — "Ow! Ow! Ow!" he chanted quietly.
Barolat cut an anchor stitch and moved the paddle a hair upward.
Despite the adjustment, Avila's ribs were still tingling, and then his "crotch."
Erin Park, the equipment representative who is often with Barolat for these surgeries, said this is the entire point of "awake" surgery, even as the procedure drags on well past the average. The vagaries of the spine make placement guesswork unless the patient says, "Yes, there."
"We're very particular," Park leaned around the drapes to tell Avila. "We're making it so you never have to see us again."
Two and a half hours after Barolat first cut into Avila's back, the surgeon moved two paddles another millimeter and made a stitch. "Were we able to hit everywhere it hurt, Ray?" Park asked.
"Yes," Avila sighed.
"Ja!" shouted Barolat, as if he'd trained in Berlin instead of Turin. "You're going back to sleep now, Ray."
70% pain reduction
Longer-term studies show spine-stimulator surgery reduces patient pain by 50 percent or more in just over half of cases, said Newport Beach pain physician Clifford Bernstein, who has reviewed the literature for his writing.
Barolat tells the often-desperate patients he briefs that they can expect a 50 to 70 percent reduction in pain, in his experience.
"You never get good results when you have to deal with the worst of the worst," Barolat said.
The stimulators, now implanted about 45,000 times a year in the United States, feed a sometimes-tense dialogue between surgery specialties. Spinal-fusion surgery, which many chronic pain patients try before the stimulator, fuels billions of dollars in spending at American hospitals.
Fusion surgeons, said Bernstein, a stimulator advocate, "put up an X-ray after an operation and say, 'Look at the perfect alignment of those screws!', rather than ask the patient how they feel."
"Surgeons will tell patients the stimulator is just covering up their pain," Bernstein said. "Exactly! If I take away your pain, the rest is irrelevant."
Some neurologists and pain specialists also see the stimulators as a sponge, however small, against the growing pool of opioid painkillers like OxyContin and Vicodin. Doctors are overprescribing them, and patients are over-consuming them; the trend is dangerous and expensive.
"I don't like pain medication," Ashlee Lipinski said. "I don't like how it makes my head feel. I was bound and determined to get off it."
"She's too young to be dependent on painkillers," said her mother, Kim.
Finally, some relief
Though Lipinski's medical memories are frequently clouded by four years of pain medications, she remembers full well the moment she woke up from her first stimulator implant.
She figures that if her worst pain was a 10, the stimulator has brought her down to at least a 2. For years she wore tight clothes so that nothing would brush her hypersensitive nerves, and now she relishes pulling on blue jeans.
The "trial" stimulator had to be removed for a couple of weeks before her permanent implant. She cried at that news.
Barolat took six hours for her permanent surgery instead of the scheduled two, as she and the doctor called in coordinates to target the pain.
She can now once again withstand the touch involved in a pedicure. What if, Lipinski is asked, someone now suggested removing the stimulator?
"Over my dead body."
On the path to recovery
Three days after doctors opened Ray Avila's back in three places and proceeded to peel, scrape, sear, crunch and shear his flesh and bone, Avila is feeling pain in all the right places.
"I'm really sore," he reports. "Being in there that long, they messed with a lot of muscles." But he knows the difference between operative and chronic pain.
"The stimulator is working." And he believes it will get even better. When the surgery swelling goes down, they will turn on more of the electrodes and dial in even tighter on his decades of back and leg pain.
After the surgery on a Monday, Ray returned to his home that sits near 9 acres of open space.
On Wednesday, he walked it all.
