About the ManufacturerThe Homer Laughlin China Company has been a leader in the design and manufacture of food service and retail china products for over 130 years. Best known for the classic and timeless Fiesta®, The Homer Laughlin China Company manufactures china products in shapes, designs and patterns that continue to delight and satisfy customers. Visitors to The Homer Laughlin China Company and Retail Outlet can expect to find unsurpassed craftmanship, state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and the timeless quality of enduring products. The Homer Laughlin China Company owes its origin to a two kiln pottery on the banks of the Ohio River in East Liverpool, Ohio. Built in 1871 by Homer Laughlin and his brother Shakespeare, the Laughlin Brothers Pottery was one of the first whiteware plants in the country. The turning point in the artistic focus of the company came in 1927 with the addition of noted ceramist Frederick Hurton Rhead. His design vision would culminate in the 1936 introduction of Fiesta®, Homer Laughlin's best selling line, and today one of the most collected china products in the world. With the introduction of fully vitrified china in 1959, Homer Laughlin was able to participate in the restaurant/hotel markets. Homer Laughlin concentrated its efforts on the food service market and continued to add new shapes, patterns and decorating techniques throughout the 60's and 70's. The reintroduction of Fiesta® in 1986 as a high-fire, fully vitrified, lead free product redefined the standard for both food service and retail china products. The Homer Laughlin China Company has produced an estimated 25,000 china patterns throughout its 133 year history. A heritage rich in American tradition and innovation has given Homer Laughlin China the fortitude to look to the next century with anticipation of meeting greater challenges.

Great small plates Jessica from Springfield, MO on 02/17/2015 – Verified Buyer
I love that Fiesta is made in the USA and totally safe to use. These plates are the perfect size for bread and butter or dessert. They stack nicely, too. And compliment the other plates in Fiesta. Unfortunately these are being discontinued and replaced by the Appetizer plates. I was hesitant to order dishes online, but Wayfair packed them very tightly and there was no breakage.

I ordered these plates along with other scarlet Fiesta pieces for my new kitchen. This plate is a nice size for snacks and can even be used as a saucer for the matching mug or bouillon cup. The Fiesta line has so many beautiful colours to choose from. If you want a true red, the scarlet is the one to pick.

I like the bright primary colours here Mark. At first I thought it was a pity to have so much plain sky in the pic but on second thoughts the addition of the white can be seen as adding a contrasting "colour". It is also good to have the round shapes of the blue thingys contrasted with the more linear shapes of the rest of the structure.
It is always difficult with this kind of photography to know what to inlcude and what to exclude, so the composition is just right. I think the composition would be stronger if you cropped a bit off the top - see my mod. At the moment the photo tends to peter out a bit as the vertical tubes go off out of the frame at the top. A closer crop gives greater prominence to the vertical tube which acts as a "stopper".
See what you think. Best wishes

I developed the first Efke PL100 that I have shot today in BTZS type tubes. Using gentle agitation I developed a SBR 5 negative (N+2 or thereabouts) for 25 minutes in Pyrocat HD 1-1-100. When I read the net density through the blue channel of my densitometer I found that the density range was 1.35. This would probably print on a diffusion light source enlarger (grade 1 1/2 to 2) but would possess to much contrast for my condensor enlarger without resorting to split development.
I next processed a SBR 6 negative (N+1 or thereabouts). Using the same method as previous I developed for 17 minutes and the density range was 1.40. Again would print on Grade 1-1/2 on diffusion but would be to contrasty for condensor without split development.
I next developed a SBR 5 negative for 20 minutes in the same manner as above. The net density of this negative was 1.20. This would print on both enlargers...although condensor would require minimal split development.
My last negative (SBR5) was developed in a minimal agitation using Pyrocat HD 1-1-200 (twice normal dilution for enlarging) for 40 minutes. Agitation of one minute at outset and 15 seconds at 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 of total development time. The net density of this negative was 1.09. This method of development has provided the sharpest negative that I have probably ever encountered. This negative density is tailor made for a condensor head.
This is probably going to be my film/developer of choice from now on based upon the four negatives that I have processed. This film builds almost as much density with Pyrocat at 1-1-100 dilution as Classic 200 does with 2-2-100 dilution.
I look forward to further trials of more normal contrast scenes. This film certainly has loads of potential insofar as expansion of contrast and the development in BTZS type tubes eliminates the damage potential that some have encountered in tray development.

Putin's Power Politics
Rebuilding Russian clout, one natural-gas pipeline at a time.
Jan 16, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 17 • By DANIEL TWINING
He suggested to European leaders that Russia's energy resources entitle his country to treatment as Europe's "equal." And he recalled that in the 1990s, when Russia was weak, "serious European politicians never allowed themselves to talk to Russia arrogantly, to humiliate Russia." Russia, he intoned in terms both reassuring and forbidding, would not humiliate an increasingly dependent Europe "when our possibilities have greatly increased" from energy-fueled growth.
Russian analysts interpreted Putin's summitry as a sort of great-power coming-out ceremony made possible by Europe's hunger for Russia's energy riches. Assessing Putin's European diplomacy, Moscow pundit Yulia Latynina commented, "Without a hint of a smile he presented those gas deliveries as Russia's chief strategic weapon."
Rich European countries find themselves in Russia's "oil and gas orbit," explained an anchorman for Russian television station RTV. Whereas Russia once was feared in Europe as a "big country with a weak economy," opined a reporter for Channel One, another Russian network, thanks to its ability to leverage its energy wealth, it is now feared as a "big country with a strong economy." Center TV, also broadcast out of Russia, predicted that in a decade "the whole energy prosperity of the E.U. will depend on Moscow."
Europe's dependence on Russian gas is expected to rise to 80 percent of total demand when a new North European Gas Pipeline becomes fully operational. Instead of transiting overland through pipelines in Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Moldova, as they do now, Russian energy exports will run under the Baltic Sea, through a $5billion pipeline that will link Russia's vast reserves directly to Western Europe. Gazprom owns the pipeline company, rendering it an agent of government influence as well as a source of supply. President Putin has hired former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder as the company's chairman, underscoring Moscow's view of its strategic importance to Russia-Europe relations.
Putin recently inaugurated another major undersea pipeline to carry Russian gas directly to Turkey and Italy, and ultimately on to other southern European economies. These pipelines demonstrate Russia's determination not only to supply gas to its rich Western neighbors, but also to control the physical infrastructure that ties Russia's trading partners into long-term dependency on Russian supplies.
Britain's energy minister has admitted what many leaders only nervously whisper: Europe is dependent on Russia for energy. With the North European Gas Pipeline, reports Russia TV, "Russia will essentially be guaranteeing Europe's energy security and the growth of its economy."
Will Russia exploit that vulnerability? A senior Russian official recently told the Financial Times it was "natural" to use Russian energy exports for diplomatic purposes, adding, "With our resources, we think we can use this energy to strengthen our position in the world as well as make a profit." Russian leaders "clearly see that their energy assets are their key to being a great power," says the Carnegie Endowment's Andrew Kuchins. The trade in gas and oil enhances Russia's international stature: Russia is president of the Group of Eight, a forum for rich democracies, despite being neither rich nor a democracy.
What Russia wants from European and Asian great powers--for now, while it rebuilds its national strength--is respect as a peer and a seat in their councils. But it's an entirely different story in Russia's backyard, where Moscow wields oil and gas as an instrument of coercion over its weaker neighbors.
BEFORE HE RESIGNED on December 27 in protest against the rollback of political freedom in Russia, Putin's maverick economic adviser Andrei Illarionov condemned his government's use of energy as a "weapon" on the international stage. That policy has been vividly on display in Ukraine, which enjoyed lucrative terms of trade with Russia until it aligned its foreign policy with that of NATO and the E.U. after its 2004 Orange Revolution. Moscow then determined to punish Ukraine, with the goal of influencing its internal politics in a more Russia-friendly direction. The means: manipulation of gas supplies, upon which Ukraine relies for four-fifths of domestic consumption.
As Russian journalist Fyodor Lukyanov puts it, "The Kremlin's new line, following events in Ukraine, is that the E.U. is an expanding empire of a new type"--and that expansion needs to be contained, if not reversed, using the kind of energy leverage that has been wielded with great effect against Ukraine and Russia's other pro-Western neighbors.
To counter Ukraine's Western tilt, Russia threatened to quadruple the price it charges Ukraine for gas deliveries, from $50 to $220 per thousand cubic meters. In December, Moscow insisted it would shut off gas exports to Ukraine--in deepest midwinter on the frigid Ukrainian steppe--and proceeded to do so on January 1, in retaliation for Kiev's refusal to meet its punitive terms. According to the Los Angeles Times, the price Russia is demanding would result in "the virtual collapse of the Ukrainian economy."
But that is probably not Moscow's goal. According to analyst Vladimir Socor, its real objective appears to be joint Russian ownership of Ukraine's pipeline network. This would extend Russia's tentacles deeper into its neighbor only a year after Ukraine's people cast off Russian tutelage. Gazprom has bought up key distribution networks in other Central and Eastern European nations, reinforcing their long-term dependency on Russia, and looks eager to apply this strategy in Ukraine, too. Indeed, a political settlement between Kiev and Moscow, reached on January 4 after a three-day, total Russian embargo on gas exports to Ukraine, gives a Gazprom-controlled company a monopoly on gas exports to Ukraine as well as increased control over that country's internal gas distribution network.
The gas dispute contributed to the appointment of a new prime minister in Kiev, and as Moscow turned the screws, Ukraine's ardently pro-Western foreign minister made an emergency visit to Moscow to pledge Ukrainian fealty. The legacy of the crisis that is tarnishing Ukraine's current leadership may be the election of a more pro-Russian parliament this March.
Moscow also wants to drive a wedge between Ukraine and its European partners. Russia's special envoy to the E.U. accuses Ukraine of "blackmailing" European countries and "holding European consumers hostage" by refusing to meet Gazprom's punitive terms. Putin labels Ukraine a "parasite on Russia" even as he soothingly pledges to be a reliable energy partner to rich West Europeans. Gazprom, after manufacturing the crisis it now condemns, accuses Ukraine of "endangering the energy security of European consumers of Russian gas."
The two-tiered nature of Russia's price system for export to its neighbors reflects the degree of political warmth or hostility they show Moscow. Russian ally Belarus enjoys highly subsidized gas. But two years ago, when its puppet dictator irked his political patrons in Moscow, Gazprom literally turned off the power in Minsk. President Alexander Lukashenko got the message and fell back into line. His country pays only a fifth of the price Russia has demanded from Ukraine for gas.
Moscow is using the dispute with Kiev "to show other former Soviet republics that Ukraine is in trouble because it didn't behave," says one Ukrainian analyst. Last summer, Russia announced that it would review its relations with its neighbors and deprive "nonfriendly countries" of favorable trade terms for energy exports.
Since then, Gazprom has hiked the price it demands from Poland for gas imports. It has announced a substantial spike in prices for the Baltic states. It sharply raised energy prices to Georgia, an enthusiastic Western ally. And it is raising gas prices to Moldova, which wants out of Russia's orbit and closer ties to Europe. "Russia is not going to let what remains of her former empire leave the fold without a fight," writes Ziba Norman of London's Transatlantic Institute.
"Putin is now saying, You have to choose between going to the West or else supporting the idea of a Single Economic Space under Russia," says Alexander Rahr of the German Council on Foreign Relations. Countries like Belarus that remain within Russia's sphere enjoy the benefits of cooperation; countries that ally themselves with the E.U. and NATO are punished.
RUSSIA IS MOVING SYSTEMATICALLY to build energy pipelines directly to Western Europe so that Moscow can wield its energy hammer against vulnerable states in Eastern Europe without threatening its lucrative trade with rich European economies. The North European Gas Pipeline will allow Russia to deliver gas to Germany, Europe's largest economy--and to Britain, France, and other countries via proposed pipeline offshoots--without transiting Ukraine or E.U. members Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Within the E.U., these countries bitterly contested the bilateral German-Russian pipeline agreement, pointing out that overland pipeline routes across their territories would be significantly cheaper. "The only possible reason [for choosing the sea route] was political," said a Washington Post editorial. A direct Russian-German supply route will expose Central and Eastern European democracies to Russian coercion by dividing them from their E.U. partners. Russia will be able to pursue a two-tiered energy policy towards Europe--reliably supplying gas to rich Western economies even as it threatens to turn off the tap to its weaker neighbors.
"The pipeline will add range and power to Gazprom's potential for business and political leverage over the Eastern European countries on its route," says the New York Times. The Russian newspaper Novyye Izvestia celebrated the pipeline's geopolitical logic: "Moscow has decided to achieve political aims against the E.U. 'anti-Russian bloc' [identified as Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia] using economic means."
Such coercion can be subtle. Central bankers in Lithuania and Estonia have warned that an abrupt move by Gazprom to raise gas prices could derail their hopes of adopting the euro in 2007 by spiking domestic inflation above E.U. limits. If it so chooses, a hostile Kremlin may be able to play its Gazprom card to quietly veto eurozone expansion into the Baltics.
Democracies like Poland and the Baltic states wrongly thought they were escaping Russia's shadow when they acceded to the European Union. Putin's recent remark that the collapse of the Soviet Union was one of "the greatest geopolitical catastrophes of the 20th century" suggests that they should keep their guard up.
RUSSIA IS SETTING its energy sights beyond Europe. It is constructing a major pipeline from eastern Siberia to China, with a Pacific terminus in the Russian Far East to supply Japan; Beijing and Tokyo have each lobbied vigorously to be Moscow's partner of choice. China looks like the near-term winner, but Putin recently stressed that Russia aspires to be the supplier of choice for the entire Asian market. It is diversifying its energy supply routes accordingly. Russia enjoys lucrative energy cooperation with India and is negotiating a gas pipeline to the Korean peninsula. At the APEC summit in November and the East Asia Summit in December, Putin emphasized a resource-rich Russia's centrality to Asia's economic future. When abroad, says a Russian commentator, "this president acts first and foremost as the president of a natural resources power."
In February, Putin visits Algeria, Europe's second-largest source of natural gas (after Russia). Algeria hopes to increase gas exports to Europe 50 percent by 2010. Analysts suspect that Putin is seeking Russian rights to develop Algeria's gas and oil reserves, which would, by extension, increase Russia's grip on the European market.
Russia has also moved strategically to assume a dominant position in energy-rich Central Asia. Gazprom has acquired effective control over all natural gas exports from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, shutting out Western and Asian competitors. As a result, says one expert, "Any country that wishes to purchase gas from Central Asia will be vetted, with commercial agreements dictated by Moscow."
Russia is also a rising supplier to the North American market. Gazprom recently announced plans to move into the United States, aiming for 10 percent market share in liquefied natural gas by 2010 and 20 percent as Russia's production capacity rises. It is currently negotiating liquefied natural gas transportation contracts with American companies. Diversifying energy supplies is a longstanding goal of American policy and is, in principle, to be welcomed. But as analyst Ziba Norman asks, "Should America feel comfortable with this level of dependence" on "an arm of the Russian state?"
There may be no better evidence that Russian energy policy is at the core of Russian political power and strategy than the expectation that President Putin will assume Gazprom's chairmanship when his term ends in 2008. "I intend to leave the Kremlin, but I don't intend to leave Russia," he says enigmatically. He has already mastered the role. "Those who have dealt with Putin," comments Yulia Latynina on radio station Echo Moskvy, "may have gotten the impression that they were talking not with the president of Russia but with the CEO of Gazprom."
In 2008, with Putin as Gazprom's chairman, his trusted aide, current Gazprom chairman and current deputy prime minister Medvedev as president, and Putin aide and siloviki leader Sechin as head of state oil giant Rosneft, the fusion of the Russian state and its energy suppliers may be complete. "In the old days," says a Russian observer, "Lenin and the party were one. Now it's the Kremlin and Gazprom."
The CIA points out that the trade in natural gas requires a high level of "political commitment" from countries linked by pipeline routes, since they become bound by an expensive and permanent physical infrastructure of supply and demand. Russia has clearly made the political commitment, for reasons of grand strategy rather than mere economics. Gazprom is "Russia's most powerful foreign-policy tool," writes the Economist, "and its best hope of regaining lost clout." As Russia's power and influence grow and its designs become more apparent, will eager trading partners in Asia and the West retain their enthusiasm for the political commitments they made when Russia was poor and weak?
Russia is reemerging as a great power. Its weakness hides its gathering strength. Yet as journalist Masha Lipman points out, Putin's strategy is not modern but nostalgic in character: His reassertion of state control over Russian energy assets as a tool of development and statecraft is "an antimodernization project" that is "dragging Russia back to its traditional authoritarian mode."
President Putin is reconstituting Russia's international influence in a manner as cunning and audacious as the more renowned exploits of the Soviet security services--from which he himself emerged. The CEO of the planned Russia-Germany pipeline consortium is a former East German secret police officer whom Putin knew from his time as a KGB agent in East Berlin.
The Russian empire, which has existed for centuries in czarist and Communist guises, today is taking the form of what one Russian reporter calls "an empire of pipelines." Western and Asian states, including all current and future great powers, are rendering themselves increasingly, and in many cases dangerously, dependent on it. As Russia's neighbors have already learned, such dependence comes at a price.

July 17, 2014 (GMM).- Kimi Raikkonen will contest this weekend's German grand prix.
After bruising his ankle and knee with a 47G impact at the start of the British grand prix, the Finn sat out Ferrari's post-race Silverstone test.
But the Finnish broadcaster MTV3 said the 34-year-old is fighting fit for Hockenheim.
"Kimi Raikkonen will be at the wheel of his F14-T in the German grand prix" the Maranello based team confirmed.
The Finn confirmed today at Hockenheim that it was "probably" the biggest crash of his entire career.
"I had some pain afterwards, not so much in my leg, but more in my ribs," he told reporters ahead of the German grand prix.
"It's all fine now. It was just unfortunate, it was nothing serious and just part of this sport."
Raikkonen caused a stir by saying at Silverstone that he will "probably" quit after 2015, but he insists he is still enjoying his time at Ferrari.
"I think it's a very good place to be," he told Britain's Sky.
"Obviously the racing hasn't been very good this year but that's the way it goes sometimes.
"We are trying to fix things, I need something very specific to be happy with the car and right now it's not happening, but for sure if I could choose to race for any team, I would take Ferrari.
"The day I hate racing I will stop, even if it's in the middle of the year I would walk away, but it's not now," Raikkonen added.

Love the plugin, but was wondering if I could get some help with changing the colors. I specifically want to change the color of the words inside the title (question) box. Maybe the hovering color. And lastly, if I could be pointed to how to change the color of the text inside the drop down box, awesome. Any and all help is much appreciated!
Thank you in advance for the help!

If any of you have been around little dogs, you know they get some bad, weird health problems. Picture this: Your homeboy IRL has 2 pugs. One is blind and has a vicious biting problem at the ankles of just about anyone walking in (doesn't hurt and laughable). The other one younger, similar but no blindness--rather the worst case of hemorrhoids or some kind of bizarre ass blister you ever saw. The vet wanted $350 to take care of it and needed an appointment arranged in advance.
The thing on its ass meanwhile gets bigger and bigger waiting to go pop. Well, last night it went kaboom all over his new faux-leather or faux-suede couch. While we were having dinner. I have now associated chili-size and caesar salad with that wonderfully horrendous smell. Doesn't look like that couch is going to come clean so easy...maybe a dry cleaning?
The dog's ok, he got it to the vet today.
It was a real "what the F***" kind of moment yesterday.
We'll murder them all, amid laughter and merriment...except for the few we take home to experiment!

combine first nine ingredients in a bowl. cover with towel or loose fitting lid, and let sit overnight. in the morning, stir in remaining ingredients. bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes.

leahkenyon 4 years agoI didn't have time to let them soak, but they came out with a muffiny consistency and decent banana flavor. Made mini muffins. Baked 15 mins. Nice for casual Saturday breakfast.

Danielle happily married mom to Lane (4-13-10) SB L5, hydrocephalus, VP shunt, trach, g-tube.
#2 coming in July 2013!!!!!
Comments (7)
Our neuro told us his level after surgery...we never asked he just came to my room and told us right after he finished his surgery. It was part of his update on how surgery went. Maybe because we were told S2-S5 when I was pregnant???
Mom to Grayson (8.2.10) SB L5, no shunt
Hi Danielle -
Honestly, our neurosurgeon told us the lesion level, but also told us that it really doesn't matter....the damage isn't related so much to the lesion level, but to the way that the nerves are affected. Some kids have a lesion that is higher, but most of the nerves are not affected, while others have lower lesion levels, but the nerves are more heavily damaged.
I think functional level is more important....and we've never really let our docs tell us how to treat her based on her level....but make them look at her and work out a plan with us. :-)
Hope this helps! Have a great weekend.
Amy - Mom to Lillian and Claire (8/2006), Leah 10/2003 and Jacob 5/2001. Lilly has SB L3-S3, VP shunt, ACM2 and a cataract. Walking with AFOs!
Like the PP said, what they see may be irrevelant. Zach should be L5-S1, but he functions at the L2 - maybe L3 level. He can move his ankles, but has no hamstring or glute function at all. For some reason, even though his ankles have sensation and some movement, his nerves much higher up were affected.
You could ask the PT if she could do a Manual Muscle Test or other kind of exam to tell you the functional level. He's still a little young for this, but they examined Nate at 12 months and came up with a functional level that has stayed consistent since then.

Owen 2/2011 (#10:)�
we really still don't know Zach's level...and he is 5 years old...I personally think based on function its an L1-L2..but i have read some of his doctor reports and they say he has spina bifida in the thoracic region which would make it in the T's...I didn't know PT could give a function level..I will def ask my PT on Thursday to do this..thanks for the info Colleen....
� Amber: mom to Ian, Nick, and Zach SB(L1-L2) VP Shunt, meninigits 2006, decompression 2011
Some PTs don't do them, or don't know how. But the best PT's we've had have been able to do them. It's really non-invasive, they just press on muscles to see what's working, and it helps when they're big enough to say what they can feel, or follow instructions like "raise up your foot to touch my hand." Based on what muscles are moving they can assign a functional level.

Big Chair is back on Dec. 1November 24,2012BENNINGTON On Dec. 1, the owners of LaFlammes, a furniture store at the intersection of Harwood Hill and Northside Drive, will unveil the new Big Chair, an almost 20-foot tall ladderback chair.
After purchasing the building, Christopher LaFlamme promised to place the new chair outside the building where a similar chair stood for about 40 years when it was the Haynes & Kane Furniture Store. The chair was believed to be the largest of its kind when it was built in the 1960s but it was dismantled 12 years ago for safety reasons.
To celebrate the return of the landmark chair, LaFlammes is planning a party and an official unveiling on Dec. 1 at 11 a.m. with live music, food for sale, a free door prize raffle and in-store promotions. Replica chairs will be available free with any purchase of $100 or more.
Fans of the chair are encouraged to bring in photos of the original.
Everyone who brings in a picture will be entered into a contest for a special prize.
Jensens Restaurant in Bennington had the sign placed on the original chair, proclaiming it the Worlds Tallest Ladderback Chair, and the restaurants owner, is donating the sign back for placement on the new chair.
Several special guests and dignitaries will participate in the unveiling and the public is invited to attend.

Also, Virgin America taps Eleven and Mindshare and Organic make senior hires.
WPP has appointed Jon Greenwood as General Manager of its ad technology unit, the Media Innovation Group. He replaces Brian Lesser, who moves on to an undisclosed role elsewhere at WPP.
The unit has spent two years attempting to increase media buying efficiencies for WPP clients using technologies such as real-time bidding and data optimization. WPP now plans to expand the unit's operations to offer its portfolio of agencies access to its services.
Prior to his current role, Greenwood was SVP, global business operations and general counsel at 24/7 Real Media, another WPP company.
In other agency news:
Virgin America hires Eleven as digital media agency. Expanding on an existing relationship, Virgin America has appointed San Francisco-based Eleven Inc. as its agency of record for the planning and buying of digital, search and emerging media. The agency has handled creative, strategy, and offline paid media activity for the airline since it launched in 2007.
Eleven will replace Virgin America's existing agencies, Carat and iProspect, in a move that is intended to more closely integrate the brand's communications across multiple channels. "Digital marketing is core to the success of our business," commented Porter Gale, VP of marketing for the airline. Alongside Virgin Atlantic, Eleven counts Apple, Visa, and AAA among its clients.
Mindshare hires Richard Lawrence to lead analytics role. WPP-owned Mindshare has appointed ex-IBM staffer Richard Lawrence to the newly created position of leader, business science & marketing analytics for North America. Lawrence is tasked with developing data fueled, analytics-based initiatives to drive marketing effectiveness for the agency's larger clients. Prior to his role at IBM related with business analytics, Lawrence held positions at Accenture and Anderson Consulting.

Owen Higginbotham will forever be remembered by his family and teachers as a bright, funny child whose life goals often far exceeded the norm for a nine year old.
Higginbotham, a Spencer County Elementary School student, died in a multi-vehicle crash June 29 in Franklin, Kentucky. He and his sister, Taylor, were in the area visiting grandparents when the accident occurred. His memorial service was held Friday at Hardy & Son Funeral Home in Smiths Grove.
This time next year, commuters on KY 55 should be crossing the Salt River on a new bridge that will be constructed alongside the existing steel beam structure known locally as the "Blue Bridge."
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced last week that it awarded the contract to build the new concrete bridge to Louisville Paving Company, at a cost of $3.7 million. The bridge will be built next to the blue bridge and work was slated to begin this week, with the construction scheduled to be completed by June 1, 2016.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court needs to update its administrative code in order to address issues revealed in recent audits and brought forth by County Clerk Lynn Hesselbrock during Monday's meeting.
At issue are payroll concerns that include the county paying employees for sick time accrued when they leave the job, questions about vacation pay and other issues that have drawn comments from the state auditor each of the last three years.
Economic development was on the minds of members of the Spencer County Fiscal Court Monday morning as Hal Goode, President/CEO of the Kentucky Association for Economic Development, talked about the need for strategic planning and utilizing resources to move the county forward.
Goode, who is also a magistrate in Washington County, said he's familiar with the challenges rural counties face, but said there are resources and strategies available to help Spencer County attract more businesses and increase the tax base.
The potholes that have made several access roads in and out of Settler's Center seem more like an obstacle course, continue to get bigger. As of yet, neither property owners nor the city have stepped forward to fix most of the pavement issues.
David Stevens has led a crusade of sorts on social media, most notably Facebook, to draw attention to the issue. He's used photos, humor and even poetry to generate concern and action, but the potholes just get bigger and he said it's reached the point of embarrassment.
Last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage across the nation, has put some elected officials in the legal and moral crosshairs over whether they will perform same-sex weddings.
Locally, Judge-Executive John Riley said he has never performed a wedding of any kind as judge, or previously while he was a magistrate.
"I choose not to perform any marriages and I made this choice long before this issue came up," he said during Monday's fiscal court meeting.
Kindergarten registration is going on now for Spencer County and Taylorsville Elementary schools. Parents and guardians should register now to receive teacher placement letters and supply lists, resource packets for you and your child and invitations to school activities this year.
Parents should bring the following items to register:
• Proof of residence, such as a current lease or utility bill — required
• Proof of age, such as a state issued birth certificate — required
Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon/meeting July 9
The Spencer County-Taylorsville Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a monthly luncheon/ meeting on Thursday, July 9, from noon – 1 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce building in Taylorsville. The speaker for the meeting is Spencer County Judge Executive John Riley. He plans to talk about important issues facing Spencer County and the important role the Chamber of Commerce and others have to move our county forward.
Mount Eden celebrated the 4th of July this weekend with a parade, fun, games, food and pageants.
Children and staff at Training Wheels Childcare were treated to a petting zoo on Tuesday. The kids were excited to feed the animals and they learned how to identify the different species.

Thank you Nikolay for the ticket and the hat-tip, but in truth the issue was reported to WPFR by the webmaster for PBGalerie (his own discovery post). Giving credit where credit is due.

When the closing quote is right after the closing link tag it converted to a opening, instead of a closing quote.
Only party true: the problem also only appears when the closing quote is not followed by a space.
That is, if in this situation:
Here is "a test with a link" and a space.
...wptexturize does the work just fine: Here is « a test with a link » and a space. If the closing quote is immediately following by a letter of a punctuation sign, then the issue arises: the opening quote is rendered instead of the closing one.
See my test post with multiple variations.

- Keywords needs-unit-tests added
It would be cool to get this excellent test case examples added to the WordPress unit tests.
The file to patch is here: http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-tests/wp-testcase/test_includes_formatting.php
We need to add an extra test function to TestWPTexturize.
If someone wants to cook up a patch it will be much appreciated else I'll take the supplied test cases and do it myself.
Please let me know if you have any questions about writing test cases
comment:5 @westi — 6 years ago
I've now added some of these cases to that file which shows the failure so we have something to test the fix with easily
comment:6 @xibe — 6 years ago
Another issue I noticed today: if the quote section ends with a number, the closing quote is not converted. See the two last tests here.
comment:7 @xibe — 6 years ago
Note: the previous comment of mine is really interesting for the fact that it fails even though there is no link in the quote section. This might prove the problem is wider than just with the linkification.
comment:8 @xibe — 6 years ago
- Summary changed from Curly quotes break if in the end of a link to Curly quotes breakage
One further bug I found in wp texturize - which is why I changed the title: the opening quote is turned into a closing quote when the whole quote is between parenthesis, like so: ("no link, everything between parenthesis"). Ditto for curly braces, and square brackets seem safe in this matter. See bottom of test post using fr_FR translation.
comment:9 @xibe — 6 years ago
I see there's been some recent changes in the curly-quotes code, from in #10987 .
Checking out my test post (same link as above) with the latest 2.9-rare, these modifications brought globally no change to the current situation, apart from two tests which are now okay:
- starting quote stuck to opening parenthesis,
- starting quote stuck to opening curly brace.
(see attached images below: first one is from a month-old 2.9-rare, second one is from today's trunk update. rest of tests remain the same).
I'll try to build all of these tests into proper unit-tests soon.
comment:10 @xibe — 6 years ago

FWIW my testing was only to check on the specific disappearing issue in #8553 and I wasn't observing the curly quotes. There's no end of tickets around texturize, I marked a ton as related a few releases back, and suspect the are still knocking around.

President Obama has reaffirmed a 4-decade-old secret understanding that has allowed Israel to keep a nuclear arsenal without opening it to international inspections, three officials familiar with the understanding said.
The officials, who spoke on the condition that they not be named because they were discussing private conversations, said Mr. Obama pledged to maintain the agreement when he first hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House in May.
Under the understanding, the U.S. has not pressured Israel to disclose its nuclear weapons or to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which could require Israel to give up its estimated several hundred nuclear bombs.
Israel had been nervous that Mr. Obama would not continue the 1969 understanding because of his strong support for nonproliferation and priority on preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The U.S. and five other world powers made progress during talks with Iran in Geneva on Thursday as Iran agreed in principle to transfer some potential bomb fuel out of the country and to open a recently disclosed facility to international inspection.
Mr. Netanyahu let the news of the continued U.S.-Israeli accord slip last week in a remark that attracted little notice. He was asked by Israel's Channel 2 whether he was worried that Mr. Obama's speech at the U.N. General Assembly, calling for a world without nuclear weapons, would apply to Israel.
"It was utterly clear from the context of the speech that he was speaking about North Korea and Iran," the Israeli leader said. "But I want to remind you that in my first meeting with President Obama in Washington I received from him, and I asked to receive from him, an itemized list of the strategic understandings that have existed for many years between Israel and the United States on that issue. It was not for naught that I requested, and it was not for naught that I received [that document]."
The chief nuclear understanding was reached at a summit between President Nixon and Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir that began on Sept. 25, 1969. Avner Cohen, author of "Israel and the Bomb" and the leading authority outside the Israeli government on the history of Israel's nuclear program, said the accord amounts to "the United States passively accepting Israel's nuclear weapons status as long as Israel does not unveil publicly its capability or test a weapon."
There is no formal record of the agreement nor have Israeli nor American governments ever publicly acknowledged it. In 2007, however, the Nixon library declassified a July 19, 1969, memo from national security adviser Henry Kissinger that comes closest to articulating U.S. policy on the issue. That memo says, "While we might ideally like to halt actual Israeli possession, what we really want at a minimum may be just to keep Israeli possession from becoming an established international fact."
Mr. Cohen has said the resulting policy was the equivalent of "don't ask, don't tell."
The Netanyahu government sought to reaffirm the understanding in part out of concern that Iran would seek Israeli disclosures of its nuclear program in negotiations with the United States and other world powers. Iran has frequently accused the U.S. of having a double standard by not objecting to Israel's arsenal.
Mr. Cohen said the reaffirmation and the fact that Mr. Netanyahu sought and received a written record of the deal suggest that "it appears not only that there was no joint understanding of what had been agreed in September 1969 but it is also apparent that even the notes of the two leaders may no longer exist. It means that Netanyahu wanted to have something in writing that implies that understanding. It also affirms the view that the United States is in fact a partner in Israel's policy of nuclear opacity."
Jonathan Peled, a spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Washington, declined to comment, as did the White House National Security Council.
The secret understanding could undermine the Obama administration's goal of a world without nuclear weapons. In particular, it could impinge on U.S. efforts to bring into force the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, two agreements that U.S. administrations have argued should apply to Israel in the past.
