Say What!?
Couples Having Two Weddings Must Be Crazy
Well, guess the Great Recession can't get engaged couples down! The economy doesn't seem to be stopping plenty of almost-weds from planning not just one very involved, possibly pricey wedding ... but two! Yes, having more than one wedding is now a growing trend, according to The Wall Street Journal.
But let's not misunderstand here. This isn't just about the 1 percent or princess/prince-y brides and grooms wanting to throw as much money around for their Big Day as they can because they can. Couples are choosing to walk down the aisle more than once for a whole bunch of different and very personal reasons ...
The WSJ explains that couples are opting to have two full weddings (with full ceremonies and two receptions) due to religious differences (the groom's family wants a traditional Catholic ceremony in the church while the bride was dreaming of a casual beach affair), geographic challenges (the bride's huuuge family lives in California, the groom and his smaller family live in rural Vermont), differing family expectations (oh boy, do I know about this one!), etc.

Apparently the way it works is that each family assumes responsibility for one event (including much of the planning and cost), as the intention is supposed to be to alleviate stress and fulfill both sides' wishes.
As well and good as that sounds on paper, I'm not so sure I just know I personally would want to pull my hair out if faced with a "double" or, as some couples call it, "split" wedding. Maaaaybe there could have been a way doing something like that would have actually been smart ... saved us money ... given everyone what they wanted? But then again, nah! In our case, my fiance and I had to make a decision that worked best for us, then stick to it -- or else turn into total doormats endlessly trying to please way too many people. Ughh. Double wedding? Try double nightmare!
To be fair, though, I could see how it could be a great route for some couples whose families really do want to take on a lot. For instance, by going with a second reception organized by her MIL -- who wanted to invite her huuuge extended family to a party in honor of my friend and her new husband -- a friend of mine was able to keep her first wedding reception much more intimate. In that case, I could see why two weddings worked as a stress reliever instead of maker. But man, talk about hit or miss!
What do you think about couples having two weddings?

RhondaVeggieJanuary 18, 2013 at 8:40 PMWe technically had two but they were on the same day. At the time you couldn't have a civil ceremony outdoors which basically meant you could have a Christian ceremony outdoors or a civil ceremony in the registry office. So we had our civil ceremony at 1pm and got the legal part over with and then had our religious ceremony at 2pm. It wasn't really a big deal.

Wow, crazy. To each it's own. You got the money and the time who am I to say.
I was married in Hawaii, and when I got back home we saved for two months we had a reception with friends and family. I thought it was great, took a lot of the stress out, and everyone still got to see us get married just on the tv, playing at our reception.

SAMJanuary 19, 2013 at 10:29 AMOk, in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures, 2-3 weddings have been happening for a bazillion years....old news.

SierraLynnJanuary 19, 2013 at 2:55 PMWell, my husband and I eloped under strenuous circumstances of a deployment. And the only one there was my brother because he lives in Hawaii. But for our 5th anniversary next year we want to renew our vows with all of our families and friends.

One wedding is good enough for me.

SuzyBarnoJanuary 19, 2013 at 9:48 PMIf we both had family living in 2 completely different areas and we had the money, then ya, I would totally do 2 weddings. We had one because both families live in CA. Had a few stragglers fly into town but the majority was here. 300 people about! Argh!

SuzyBarnoJanuary 19, 2013 at 9:50 PM@SAM my in laws are middle eastern and your right, a lot of them have more than one wedding. They'll get married in Iraq then come to the states to have another ceremony and reception with those part of the family. My in laws in particular had a double wedding in the states with my FIL's brother and his wife, it was 1000 people!!!!

with so many couples living together now it isnt like the wedding is a real sealing of anything.... it just a party...and a symbol so having two parties to keep everyone happy... so nobody has to compromise so nothing reallllly has to mean anything so you can just say "oh well go ahead and step on the glass at this wedding you won't have to do at the other one" why not...

RisalineJanuary 20, 2013 at 2:05 PMCrazy? Sounds more like envy, bitter much? Asians have been doing this long ago and are still doing it today. Just because it doesn't float your boat doesn't give you the right to bash others. And yes I did have two wedding. One in my hubby's country with his family and one in my country with my family because our family are important to us and we wanted them to share our special day and our culture. By the way, most Asian weddings don't have wedding registry. It is part of our culture to give money to the bride and groom during the wedding reception. So instead if buying them a toaster or whatever, they get money. Usually they recouperate the money they spent on the wedding and reception and then some! So it is a good idea to invite the richer or the more generous relatives ;)

How to Stop Post Nasal Drip: Helpful Tips On Getting Rid Of Postnasal Drip Syndrome
Post nasal drip is called a medical condition when excess amount mucus or phlegm builds up behind the nose and the throat and people start to feel that mucus running down the back of the throat, which is quite an uncomfortable feeling often making people cough. This health condition can occur in association with allergies or with infections, and there are a few things available to help yourself. So, what remedies are the most helpful in getting rid of post nasal drip?
How to Stop Post Nasal Drip: Natural vs. Over the Counter Remedies
Before thinking about post nasal drip medications, there are some natural things you can try and see whether they are helpful or not. The most common of them are the following:
- Steam Inhalation. The first thing to try would be steam inhalation. The purpose of this is to clear the nasal passages which thin this mucus and allows it to clear. You can do steam inhalation either with plain water or with eucalyptus oil which can help to break down the mucus. You can do it 2 to 3 times a day while you're suffering post nasal drip. People find this very effective.
- Keep Hydrated. It's important if you're experiencing post nasal drip to drink plenty of water or other liquids (except caffeine and alcohol) and avoid things that may irritate the lining of your sinuses such cigarette smoke, perfumes, or anything you may be allergic to.
- Salt Water. Gargling the salt water mixture for 30 seconds several times a day will help clear out the phlegm trapped in the nasal passageways and in the back of your throat.
- Herbal Tea. The heat from herbal tea will break up the mucus in your throat, whereas the moisture will soothe the irritated esophagus. Chamomile, ginger and lemon teas are very helpful.
- Humidifier. Humidifier will help increasing the air moisture level in your environment thus making the mucus in your body get thinner and easier to deal with. It's advisable that you keep a humidifier running all the time you're home, and especially at night when you sleep.
Medications can also answer the question 'how to stop post nasal drip', and some of these you can buy over the counter from the pharmacists. These would be decongestants or nasal sprays, antihistamines or anti-allergy drugs, or even nasal steroids. If a post nasal drip is continuing longer than 2 or 3 weeks, and it is associated with a cough, then it's worth speaking to a physician, who may recommend further investigation or a stronger treatment.

I have a new bike. After a year of not having one (for reasons), I am so glad to have a bike again. Just think the author of "The Bike Mechanic" did not have a bike to work on and lust over, but I do now. However, it is cold outside and snow and ice cover the ground. I love to ride, but I'm not so hardcore as to ride all winter. Thus, I found a bike trainer on craigslist that will let me use my Sweet Machine indoors while Nora naps, of course.
Now for the New Year's Resolutions (in no order):
- Get back into biking shape by:
- Riding Sweet Machine
- Zumba with Jessica and Nora
- Eat Less Crap! (This will be the hardest of the three. The is a donut shop with in walking / riding distance. Temptation!)
- Finish When Water Burns, a new Inez Wick novel
- Finish the novel or story The Collector of Souls
- Find a part-time job that will let me continue to spend time with Nora
- A New Tattoo
- Stay in touch with friends in Minneapolis
- Write to my brother in prison
- Find a Doctor, a Dentist, and a Chiropractor
- Find a good sitter for Nora, so Jessica and I can go on dates
- Really learn how to play the harmonica
- Design and pitch an online class to The Loft in Minneapolis
- Read cookbooks and Jessica's cooking magazines
- Spend as much time outside (when it is warm) as I can

Jose Bautista got the sweet feeling of revenge when he homered off Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Darren O'Day on Saturday.
The issues between the two began on Friday night when O'Day struck out Bautista to end the seventh, stranding a runner at second and maintaining a 6-6 tie. O'Day gave a skip/hop after striking out Bautista, and the Jays slugger thought O'Day said something to him. Below are the GIFs that started the whole thing:

Ethics of the Heroic Society
"The wages of Heroism is death."
--J. R. R. Tolkien
Viking and Victorian Values
We'll discuss this topic in more detail
in the following weeks. However, it is worth asking at this point in the
course, how did the Victorian and eventual Edwardian understanding of
Norse literature and culture shape Tolkien's own reading and response to
the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf?
One example is the work of philologist
Samuel Laing (1780-1868). Laing's 1844 Chronicle of the Kings of Norway
was later republished in 1889 as Sagas of the Norse Kings. Laing
held among other things that ancient Viking culture represented:
A hardy "spirit of
freedom" that enabled small groups of people to take on
overwhelming tasks with far-reaching influence.
An anti-feudal culture of primitive
democratic values.
A strong oral culture that
reflected and created national identity across scattered tribes.
A culture that was not dominated by
monasticism or imperialism
A strong tradition of property and
social cohesion
A culture of craft and
Discussion Question: How many of
these values are truly reflected in the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf?
Oh! wild and Runic legendry,
Thou breath'st a living fire,
As storm-winds to wild melody
Had woke the minstrel's lyre.
A sound, as if deep ocean's waves
With midnight's breezes sung,
This chant'st thou o'er the heroes' graves
Whose knells the Past hath rung.
We read of fell Berserker
And feel our fibres glow
With sympathetic ire to wage
Like conflict with the foe.
We long to roam the stormy main,
Wild Norseman-King, with thee,
And, scorning every dastard-chain,
To live for ever free.
--The above lines are taken from
a poem by A.G. in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in response to Laing's
work. This material is located in Andrew Wawn, The Vikings and the
Victorians: Inventing the Old North in 19th-Century Britain.
"All manner of thing shall be well/ When the tongues of flame are in-folded/ Into
the crowned knot of fire/ And the fire and the rose are one." -- T.S. Eliot, Little

This is one of the things that really irritates me about coercive utopian schemes.
The moment people demonstrate a reluctance to cooperate with them, the leaders start killing people. The worst part of it is that the leaders rarely have any remorse. I watched an interview of one of Pol Pot's lieutenants, and this sick fuck absolutely denied that they had killed so many people, and claimed with a straight face that they had only killed a handful of foreign spies and counter-revolutionaries. Of course, the Khmer Rouge took pictures of these enemies they executed, and a numebr of them were infants at the breast or kids under the age of five.
Evil, evil men. If there is a hell, I hope they are freezing in the bottom-most circles of it.Comment by tarran — May 14, 2007 @ 5:58 pm

Gulfstream's fourth large-cabin G650–and the first production example–joined the flight-test program on June 6, just three days after the third test G650 first left the ground. As of Sunday, the four flying G650s had logged more than 85 flights and 240 hours, not quite 15 percent of the estimated 1,800 flight hours required for certification.
Flight test
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner test fleet surpassed 1,000 flight hours this week. According to Boeing, the 787 program is now about 40 percent through the test conditions required to certify the first version–the 787-8–of the new twin widebody.
Boeing announced yesterday that it received expanded type inspection authorization (TIA) from the FAA for the 747-8 Freighter on June 11, clearing the way for FAA personnel to participate in test flights and collect required data.
The HondaJet program has once again been delayed. Honda Aircraft this week began notifying buyers that delivery of the first HA-420 HondaJet is now planned for the third quarter of 2012. "Regrettably we've experienced delays in some components," HondaJet spokesman Stephen Keeney told AIN. He could not identify the suppliers involved in the latest setback for the program.
Gulfstream is on track to fulfill business aviation's need for speed with its new G650 jet reaching its top operating speed of Mach 0.925 during a test flight on Sunday.
The large-cabin aircraft is on track to enter service as the world's fastest in-production civil aircraft, overtaking the Cessna Citation X and perhaps heading off the challenge posed by planned supersonic business jets.
The first Gulfstream G650, S/N 6001, yesterday reached its top operating speed of Mach 0.925 during a test flight from the company's headquarters in Savannah, Ga. When certified, the G650 will become the fastest transport-category aircraft in service, a spot currently held by the Mach 0.92 Cessna Citation X.
The FAA granted Boeing expanded type inspection authorization (TIA) yesterday for the 787 Dreamliner, clearing the way for the agency's personnel to fully participate in future test flights and for the collection of required flight-test data. The agency on February 11 granted initial TIA, which supported the collection of flutter certification data.
The second Boeing 747-8 Freighter, RC521, landed in Palmdale, Calif., yesterday, marking the beginning of a planned transition of testing to Southern California. The more than four-hour flight from Boeing Field in Seattle included testing on avionics and cruise performance.
Boeing insists the first 787 Dreamliner remains on schedule for first delivery to All Nippon Airways by the end of this year, despite some admitted glitches during flight testing that appear to have eroded much of the margin the company had built into its timetable for certification.
The third Boeing 747-8 Freighter, RC 521, joined the program's flight-test program yesterday with a successful two-and-a-half-hour maiden mission. Piloted by captains Paul Stemer and Keith Otsuka, the program's final prototype took off from Paine Field in Everett, Wash., at 3:27 p.m. local time and landed at Boeing Field in Seattle at 5:58 p.m. The airplane reached an altitude of 30,000 feet and an airspeed of 245 knots.

Hello and welcome to Spot The Movie Steal - er, homage... On with the pointy geek hats. Lumpy, junk food-nourished fingers on the buzzers...
Human copies with implanted memories? Bzzt! Blade Runner. Sinister, faceless corporation harvesting lost souls? Bzzt! The Matrix. Antiseptic, underground dystopia where physical contact is banned and everyone wears white for some reason?... Have to hurry you... Bzzt! THX-1138.
See also: 1984, a dash of Frankenstein, a Michael Marshall Smith novel (Spares) and a lottery/cull idea half-inched from an ace Frank Roberts short story ('It Could Be You'). So... there.
Ah, nearly forgot. There's also that unpleasant business with the producers of 1979's The Clonus Horror who claim that The Island is, um, a clone of their own clone movie...
Still, nothing's original these days, right? Least of all Hollywood blockbusters. And, as Michael Bay himself admits on the solid but short Making Of, "I wanted to make a fun ride. But with something else at the heart..." So, enough with the chin-strokes. Does The Island have enough of a pulse to make you pause in between popcorn-shovelling? Is it more than the sum of its steals or just as sterile and processed as its characters?
For his first film without the steadying mitts of mentor Bruckheimer, Bay wisely sticks to what he's learned from the master-blaster. That is, keep 'em wired and wide awake - flinching and fly-catching at the clangs and clatters. And always, always, top a propulsive, eardrum-splintering action sequence with one geared to completely shear the top off the most cynical cine-head.
Bored with car chases? How about a lorry chase? A lorry chase where Ewan McGregor is humping hulking great metal spindle things off the back of a lorry and straight down the braying throats of superjeep-driving goons... Tired of stuff exploding? Try the scene where a monolithic, metallic fan blade rears and roars and buckles off its axis, demolishing and detonating everything in its tumbling path. And when things start to flag, Bay defaults back to his comfort zone and chucks in another chopper - or at least another heat haze-saturated shot, framed from below, of a man wearing sunglasses getting out of a chopper in pornographic slow-motion, rotor blades chug-chug-chugging above.
Bay also proves that he can mix it with the De Palma/Scorsese stylists by dropping in some smartypants camera slickery (gliding through an expansive control-room, up and over the rim of an atrium before spiralling down past the prone embryos and swooping along their umbilical connecting cables, through to the work-space where the everyday schmoes unwittingly nurture their next generation). Surface, sure, but at least it shows signs of an urge to stretch beyond the all-out action-only typecasting.
Nevertheless, The Island is a flashbang-wallop of a fireworks display in search of a soul, a story, a little character of its own. The producers tried to pin the film's box-office belly-up on the lack of chemistry between our cloney heroes, Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) and Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Johansson). But, while McGregor's twinkly edge is again blunted by a daft Big Fish/Star Wars-style Americanisation (couldn't the cloning process stretch to speech and diction?) and Johansson does little more than pout and bounce from chase to chase, it's Sean Bean who clunks the loudest. As Big, Bad Boss Of The Body-Farmers, with his gleaming specs and co-ordinated Prada prowl, he's more officious than ominous. Bean clearly wants to evoke Ed Harris' mentalist megalomaniac Christof from The Truman Show, but he only manages a posh bank manager with a bit of a temper.
For a man at the helm of such slight sci-fi , Bay's commentary has an admirable reek of control-freak. Judging by the Making Of cast comments, he was a director determined to subvert his pulpy rep with a few flutters of vision. It was Bay who had the deftness to sneak in a splash of satire on dead-end job dissatisfaction ("What are we doing here?"... "We're feeding the nutrient lines!"). And anyone who's had the dubious pleasure of a twilight dash to a delivery room will appreciate his icky, anti-sentimental, production-line approach to the miracle of life. ("I wanted the clone birthing process to be done by truck drivers. Just another job... Some desert rat who lives out there and cuts open these sacks every day.")
He also has the balls to shore up the over-familiar, eugenics-is-wrong fluster with a clammy, Nazi-nodding sequence featuring clones being coaxed into a gas chamber.
So the derivative, grab-bag effect is still annoying and Bay's technotestosterone posturing is muffled in the big-to-small screen translation. But the devilish DVD details show a director emerging from the nurture of guru Jerry as more Cameron-in-waiting than just another Tony Scott mimic.
But that doesn't mean we forgive the gaping great plot-holes – most of which are gagging to have Viz 'Top Tips' made out of 'em... Crypto-fascist megacorps! Avoid having your entire secret facility destroyed by not building an easily accessible central computer system with a clearly labelled SELF-DESTRUCT button.

Chamblee's girls hadn't won a state playoff game in basketball in 37 years, and four remarkable three-year starters were down to their last dance Friday night, facing a six-point deficit with seconds left in the third quarter against the second-ranked team in Class AAAA.
Paden Smith banked in a desperate 3-pointer at the buzzer, part of an 8-0 surge that boosted fifth-ranked Chamblee to a 54-47 home victory over Douglas County in the jewel game of the AAAA first round.
''This game meant the world to us,'' said Chamblee coach Paul Ireland. "I coached these girls since they were seventh-graders. I coached them in middle school. … When that last-second shot went in, that's the turn we needed. I told them we've got to take it from here.''
Lucy Mason, DeKalb County's leading scorer at 22.3 points per game, opened the fourth with a steal and three-point play for the tie. Paden's second 3 with 2:40 left made it 48-42 at the end of a 20-6 run.
How these teams met in the first round was another story. Douglas County (26-3), a semifinal last year, was ranked No. 1 and had a 25-game winning streak ended in a 20-point loss to Kell in the region semifinals. That resulted in a No. 3 seed and a road trip into DeKalb.
Chamblee (27-3) – which was ranked No. 1 last season, only to have its season ended in a stunning region upset – had been ranked No. 3 but lost its region final and qualified as the runner-up from Region 6.
Douglas County has the early edge as Christin Mercer, a Florida signee, scored 11 points and had six rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot in the first quarter alone. Douglas County led 17-8.
But Chamblee changed to a man-to-man defense, putting 6-footer Breana McDonald, a Georgia Tech signee, on Mercer, who finished with 13 points, none in the second half.
Meanwhile, Chamblee's Mason, who has signed with UNC-Greensboro, missed her first six shots. She came back with an eight-point second quarter. She became ill at halftime and battled cramps in the second half but managed 17 points, five assists and five steals.
Mason and McDonald (14 points, 11 rebounds) are four-year starters. Smith and Chelsea Adams are three-year starters. Adams, a 6-3 post, had 14 rebounds and four blocked shots.
"It was the last season of these four starters, and we want to go out with a bang,'' Mason said. "It's been tough. This is the stage we thought we should be on.''
Chamblee's most recent state-playoff victory had come in 1975, when the team beat Harper in the first round.

Orchid Beach Club resident Heather Roberts celebrated her 50th birthday Thursday Aug 9., with a '40s supper club-themed surprise party at Crosley Mansion.
It was a scene out of golden-age Hollywood as a band played crooner-style tunes while guests sipped champagne and noshed on apps before dinner. The night was hosted by Heather's father, Roy Palmer. Susan Palmer, Marilyn Paderewski and Beverly Underwood facilitated the ambiance.

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Jamaal Franklin totaled 18 points, 15 rebounds and four assists, and the No. 17 San Diego State Aztecs fended off the Texas Southern Tigers, 74-62, at Viejas Arena.
"He plays all over the floor," San Diego State coach Steve Fisher said of Franklin. "He's always around the ball, pursues the ball. He's a good player."
Chase Tapley scored 16 points and Deshawn Stephens netted 12 of his 13 points in the first half for the Aztecs (6-1), who have not lost since their season- opener against Syracuse.
Omar Strong and Fred Sturdivant led Texas Southern with 15 and 14 points, respectively, but the Tigers (1-7) started slow and never fully recovered in dropping their fifth straight game.
Stephens made more field goals (six) in the first half than the entire Texas Southern roster, which shot a woeful 5-of-27 in the opening 20 minutes. Stephens' bucket less than four minutes in made it 9-0, and it took the Tigers another four minutes to connect from the field for the first time.
Whatever head coach Mike Davis told his team at halftime worked, because the Tigers made four of their first five shots out of the break and pulled within 37-27 on a Sturdivant layup 3 1/2 minutes in.
"I thought the first half was a disaster and I had a lot to do with that because our guys were so uncomfortable with their size and their trapping," Davis said of his team's struggles in the first half. "Our guys played tough, but great players make plays, and that's what (San Diego State) did."
It was an eight-point game before Franklin was fouled shooting a 3-pointer and made three from the foul line for a 54-43 lead with 9:30 to go.
The Aztecs led by double digits the rest of the way, thanks in part to Tapley scoring on four of the next five possessions, with his trey pushing the margin to an insurmountable 18 points, 63-45.
San Diego State has won 19 straight games in December ... The Tigers' Raymond
Penn, who came in averaging a team-high 14.6 points, shot 3-of-14 from the
field for nine points ... The only other meeting between these programs came
in 1991, a game also won by the Aztecs ... Texas Southern plays at Houston on
Saturday ... San Diego State continues its four-game homestand against UC
Santa Barbara on Thursday.

Chile, the Eternal Exporter
1580 A.D.—Spanish missionaries establish a solid wine industry, and send much wine back to their homeland.
1602—Chilean wines become too popular in Spain, reducing consumption of Spanish wine. Hence, King Phillip III forbids planting of new vineyards in Chile.
1680—Chilean wine popularity continues, so the Spanish crown finally forbids the importation of these "wines from the Indies."
1980—To increase exports, Chilean wineries begin modernizing their facilities (stainless steel vessels, temperature control, French and American oak, etc.). The country's largest producer, Concha y Toro, is one the very first to make these changes.
1996—After 20 years as senior winemaker for Concha y Toro, Pablo Morande leaves the firm and founds Vina Moranda. Its first export label is Pionero ("pioneer").
1997—Dean Robert Smiley (U.C. Davis) reports that the largest percentage increase in imports to the USA will continue to be from Chile.
When Pablo joined Concha y Toro, white wines were not important exports. But he changed all of that and brought his expertise to his new winery. You can sample it for only $6 .
1997 Pionero Sauvignon Blanc
There's an ominous parallel between Spain 400 years ago and the USA today. Dean Smiley also reports that 85% of USA wine reps think consumers will switch to lower priced imported wines, and only 9% think it is a healthy development for our domestic wine industry. King Phillip, where are you when we need you? Credit—An important source was The Slow Food Guide To Wines of The World, Italy.

I created new text fields for people to add content into. These worked really well, but all of a sudden, they wont update... The text we have already entered is stil there, but if I make updates they dont get saved.
The weirdest thing is I created them in homepage.php, which was then built on by aboutus.php, hen blogholder.php - and in the blogholder, one of the blocks still updates the content,
I havent changed any of this, so am unsure as to why it broke!
all main content seems to be updated fine
- also newly uploaded images dont show up in the editor - when i click 'insert image' they dont appear to be there, but when i go to 'files', they are...

The sub-classing system is to be working fine, so could you double check?
Perhaps its not a problem, but related to the differences between draft and live versions of the site ?
You can publish all the pages in your site in one hit by visiting
Edit: This was resolved due to a problem with architecture and not SilverStripe

How was this resolved? I think I have a similar problem and was wondering how to avoid this problem?
I have a page ArticleHolder with sub pages StaffHolder that has sub pages StaffPage The images on the deepest StaffPage does not show up on site.
The outline with correct width and height displays in CMS but no image. On live site only the alt text appears.
I would imagine it's the architecture, but I need the pages to be those page types.

How are your classes organised?
Usually, in SilverStripe you create 'ArticleHolder' which is a class which extends Page.
Then, you create 'ArticlePage' which is another class which extends Page (note it does not extend ArticleHolder!).
The reason for this is because the ArticleHolder has no relationship with an ArticlePage in terms of code inheritance. It doesn't need to, the ArticleHolder's role is to simply create children pages of a ArticlePage, and display them.
Hope this helps!

This is the first time I use Silverstripe to build/design a site.
I followed the tutorials from one to four. So I imagine the classes are organized in the way it was organized in the tutorial files.
I am by no means very experienced in PHP yet, but I found the tutorials and instructions very simple, easy to understand and straight forward.
I had very little trouble styling the site and found the CMS very user friendly and easy which was great.
Now however it seems a bit trickier, so I'm going to see if I understand what you say above correctly;
If my classes are organized correctly, my structure should work and the images display even if I use an ArticleHolder to list pages (of StaffHolder behaviour) like it would list articles?
Once you click through to the StaffHolder Page it lists children pages (StaffPages) with a thumbnail and 1st paragraph. So to explain the structure, the breadcrumb could be for example: Home » RegionName » Industry(Design) » Print » Designer.
Currently the thumbnails in StaffHolder (Print) doesn't show and only sometimes in the content and only one image (through image tab), no additional can be inserted via CMS 'insert image' button in toolbar.
I thought this is because I use StaffHolder as a sub page (child) inside an ArticleHolder. However I don't want to have that level list with thumbnails but rather like articles gets listed in ArticleHolder.
I apologize upfront for such a lengthy post but I'm not that familiar with PHP yet.

Christmas Cakes
My favorite holiday. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas and beautiful cakes!
present cake - If only I could figure out how to do crisp ribbons with buttercream. Bows of fondant are fine - easily taken off before cutting the cake. On a mission to do as much as possible with buttercream so the cakes taste as good as they look! Too many cakes are gorgeous, but inedible with the amount of fondant on them (think sweet but flavorless chewing gum).
I like the wreath and bow one. I would remove the holy dots from the sides tho.
Flickriver: Most interesting photos from Christmas Cake pool
Elegant snowflake. Looks imprinted.
I would make these into mini cakes. They are so pretty!
Rockin around the Xmas tree. How pretty and not overly done.
Amazing work! Christmas ornament cupcakes. They are made out of ball shaped pans, buttercream, wrapped in fondant and decorated.

TOKYO--Shaking off a slow start after the long-awaited addition of Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) iPhone to its network, NTT Docomo Inc. (9437.TO) said it can compete more effectively against smaller rivals who have been chipping away at its dominance for years.
After finally bringing the popular Apple smartphone to its subscribers -- five years after rival SoftBank Corp. (9984.TO) introduced it in the Japanese market -- the number of Docomo subscribers fell in September, while those of rivals SoftBank and KDDI Corp. (9433.TO) increased significantly. All three carriers launched the new iPhone 5S and 5C on Sept. 20.
Docomo's loss of subscribers in September was surprising because the prevailing wisdom was that Docomo -- viewed by many as having the most extensive network in Japan -- would see a spike in new users from buyers of the latest iPhone, snatching customers away from SoftBank and KDDI. It's not clear how Docomo's subscriber figures were shaping up for the month prior to the iPhone 5S and 5C's availability from Sept. 20.
"Initially, we didn't do enough to draw in customers or be competitive, but we're starting to see the impact of introducing (the iPhone)," said Docomo president and chief executive Kaoru Kato at a news conference on the company's quarterly financial results.
Docomo said net profit rose 17% to Y142.39 billion ($1.47 billion), in the three months ended September. The company slashed expenses and procurement costs by concentrating promotional efforts on two models from Sony Corp. (6758.TO) and Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.SE) Revenue, however, fell 4% in the quarter.
The number of Docomo subscribers decreased by 66,800 in September, while SoftBank and KDDI increased their subscribers by 270,700 and 232,700, respectively, according to the Telecommunications Carriers Association, an industry group that tracks subscriber data.
Docomo's CEO said it is doing its best to fulfill a backlog of orders for customers waiting for the more expensive iPhone 5S. When asked about demand for the 5C, Mr. Kato declined to comment. To promote the iPhone, Docomo said it is offering a trade-in program for existing customers as well as customers from other carriers. It is also setting up a dedicated call center to support iPhone users.
"We're entering into a new competitive stage," Mr. Kato said. "We've only had the iPhone for a month and we're still figuring out what the full impact will be."
The introduction of the iPhone in 2008 triggered a rebalancing of power among Japan's mobile carriers. For years, Docomo, the wireless arm of Japan's former telecom monopoly Nippon Telegraph & Telephone, dominated the Japanese market with its i-mode mobile Internet service, a precursor of today's smartphones.
But that started to change when SoftBank, the smallest of the three major Japanese carriers, won the exclusive right to sell the iPhone in Japan when rivals balked at Apple's demands. For three years, SoftBank was the sole provider of iPhone until KDDI broke the monopoly in 2011. In the last two years, both SoftBank's and KDDI's shares of the Japanese market have climbed at Docomo's expense.
In the five years since the iPhone's debut, SoftBank has added nearly 15 million new subscribers -- or about half of all new customers in Japan during that time. SoftBank now accounts for 25% of subscribers, from 18% in 2008. Docomo's share of the market, meanwhile, has fallen to 46% in September from 55% in July 2008.
Docomo, Japan's most valuable company by market capitalization a decade ago, was surpassed by SoftBank earlier this year. SoftBank's stock rise has been fueled in part by its non-carrier investments in firms like China's online retailer, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., and mobile videogame firm GungHo Online Entertainment Inc.

saw it, loved it, HAD TO HAVE IT! I get married in 6 months and I can not wait to wear this dress. i absolutely love it!! September 10, 2009
fun and sexy This picture does NOT do this dress justice! If you're a fun-loving person who wants something a little more unique, be sure to give this dress a shot! I feel amazing in this dress; it's very flattering. I'm actually having the short sleeves put on it was well (The sheerness ties in with the 'ruffles') July 20, 2009
