QUAIL RIDGE BOOKS & MUSIC—Forget about a glass ceiling: The women in author Kirsten Holmstedt's Band of Sisters: American Women at War in Iraq deal with a sandier, camouflaged version as they fight for more than just their country. The UNC-Wilmington alumna, whose book follows 12 of the 155,000 women serving in Iraq, will be at Quail Ridge Books at 3 p.m. with Marine Gunnery Sgt. Rosie Noel for a short film, discussion and signing. Visit quailridgebooks.booksense.com to learn more. Holmstedt also reads at The Regulator July 14 at 3 p.m. —Karlie Justus

THE CAVE—Three upstarts worth keeping an ear on and hearing now, not later: Shazy Hade's organ-fueled garage-rock shimmy stumbles and staggers with a joyous disregard for where it lands, while Nostra Nova's freaky psych-folk has certain Devendra moments ("The Butler and the Maids") when not shambling with a catchy indie pop shuffle. Latvian-born Leonid Maymind grew up in New Orleans, but his garage-psych act Spanish Prisoners blends its late-night textures with irregular sounds and a touch of angularity.

The Schwarzkopf Botanics range is expensive, and more so if you have to blend two colours, but I was absolutely delighted by the result. Extremely rich colour - I have naturally auburn hair and wanted to give it a little punch as it has become darker over the years. My hairdresser blended 1:1 Teak and Palisander, and it was the most delicious rich and layered deep red result. I loved it. Application is not fun, however, it takes a long time to apply and is very heavy on your head while… Read Full Review

Hi all,
We just built a new responsive site and the display is distorted on some computers (notably my client's computer).
Here is the beta link: http://designbuildprofit.com/beta
Here is the way the site is displaying properly on my computer (Windows 7 Pro with updated Chrome)
Here is the distorted view, which is using Windows 7 Pro with updated Chrome. We have cleared cache and browsing history and ensured that the screen resolution is set on the recommended setting of 1920x1080.
The strange thing is that the client and I have the same setup (Win 7 Pro with Chrome) and we are seeing 2 different things.
Does anyone know what the problem could be or how I can diagnose the problem?
Many thanks!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer Watchdog today praised the Environmental Protection Agency for auditing Hyundai and determining it overstated its sticker mileage estimates on various vehicles, including the Elantra.
Following a barrage of consumer complaints, the nonprofit consumer group called upon the EPA to audit mileage of the Elantra in January and ultimately filed a false advertising case against Hyundai for widely advertising the "40 Mile Per Gallon Elantra."
Hyundai had previously denied that it exaggerated mileage claims, but said today it would reissue the window stickers with new mileage estimates. The agency is continuing its investigation into the inflated test results.
"The EPA rightly audited Hyundai and the public deserves to know the whole truth about why these test results were inaccurate and whether or not they were intentionally falsified, " said Jamie Court, president of Consumer Watchdog. "The carmaker has steadfastly denied consumers' charges of inflated mileage and refused to change its window stickers or give consumers what they were owed until the EPA stepped in. Hyundai should settle up with consumers and make reparations for its inflated claims if it wants to restore consumer trust in its brand."
In January, Consumer Watchdog asked the White House and EPA to audit the mileage claims of the Elantra and other cars. Read the letter at: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/newsrelease/consumer-watchdog-asks-white-house-epa-%E2%80%98clean-doubts%E2%80%99-clean-air-and-mpg-tests-bring-them
In July, Consumer Watchdog sued Hyundai over its "40 Mile Per Gallon Elantra" advertising claims. The lawsuit claims Hyundai Motor America misled consumers about the gas mileage of the 2011 and 2012 Elantra through a broad-based media advertising campaign designed to capitalize on public concern over escalating gas prices. The lawsuit was filed by Consumer Watchdog and Cuneo Gilbert and LaDuca, LLP.
The lawsuit alleges Hyundai touted "The 40 Mile Per Gallon Elantra" in high-impact television, Internet, and print advertisements without government-required disclosures that those mileage estimates were for highway driving only and that city driving mileage estimates were much lower. The omitted disclosures would have informed consumers that the car does not attain 40 MPG under most driving conditions. The illegal advertisements caused tens of thousands of California drivers to purchase or lease 2011 and 2012 Elantras and consequently incur unexpected fuel costs.
Download the lawsuit filed in Sacramento County Superior Court here: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/sites/default/files/resources/birdcomplaint.pdf
"I feel like Hyundai took advantage of me. Hyundai's advertisements about the '40 MPG' gas mileage of the Elantra instantly caught my attention. I bought the car thinking I would be seeing major savings at the pump and getting over 500 miles per tank, but Hyundai fooled me," said Louis Bird of Sacramento, California, a 2011 Elantra owner who is representing other consumers in the class-action lawsuit and meticulously documents his mileage. "I have not saved any money on gas and have been driving the Elantra for well over a year now. It is frustrating and disappointing. I never would have bought the Elantra in the first place if I hadn't seen Hyundai's ads boasting about gas mileage."
Consumer Watchdog had challenged Hyundai to fix its advertising claims last fall in numerous correspondence, including a call to withdraw the '40 Mile Per Gallon' claim from the Super Bowl advertising, which Hyundai did. Nonetheless the carmaker continued to widely use the false claim in marketing. Read about the Super Bowl controversy here: http://www.consumerwatchdog.org/newsrelease/hyundai-omits-40-mpg-claim-super-bowl-ad-after-consumer-watchdog-complaint-flood-consume

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

We're Giving Away a Chandelier on Cote de Texas !!!!!!!
My friend, the fabulous blogger extraordinaire, Joni Webb, who writes Cote de Texas and I have gotten together and cooked up the most fabulous giveaway!
You should rush over to her blog and read all about it. We have decided to let the winner of the giveaway choose the chandelier they want to win, and it's a choice between the Ingrid Chandelier, pictured below
And the Elizabeth Chandelier.
Both of these beauties were designed by me and they are each very popular fixtures. All of our pieces are created right here in New Orleans. I am unbelievably lucky to be able to work with such a talented group of artists who make everything we create as gorgeous as it can possibly be.
Here is the amazing Jennifer working on an Ingrid Chandelier. Her work brings the magic to each piece she touches.
Here is Christine putting the crystals on an Elizabeth. She is dedicated to making lighting that is a beautiful as she is.
Although we are very serious about our work, we like to have fun and to help people light up their lives.
So we decided to do a giveaway!
Most of our work is custom and each piece is made to order for each client.
We thought it would be fun to do a giveaway where the winner could choose between two different fixtures, sort of a custom giveaway!
So what will it be? The Ingrid?
She's more modern in feel with a twist of antiquing thrown in for good measure.
She's comfortable in a variety of settings.
And she can even be made into a lantern.
Elizabeth is more traditional. And dressed up.
She is named for the person who inspired her. She was created to bring snazziness to an entry with low ceilings that still wanted to look dressed up.
She is petite and cute just like the Elizabeth who inspired her into being.
I was so excited when Joni said she would be the mistress of ceremonies for this fun giveaway! Thank you Joni for your wonderful post and for helping me with this fun and fabulous giveaway.Hurry on over to Cote de Texas and read all about it. Leave a comment and you might become the winner of one of these two wonderful chandeliers!
Good Luck!!

Rhombus Properties
Properties of rhombi often show up in geometric proofs and many other types of problems. This video explains how all parallelogram properties apply to rhombus properties since a rhombus is a type of parallelogram. In a rhombus, there are (1) two pairs of parallel sides, (2) four sides that are all congruent to each other, (3) diagonals that bisect the angles, and (4) diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors of each other. (1:48)
Unit Circle Coordinates
This video explains how the unit circle has a radius of one and is centered at the origin of the coordinate plane. It is a concept that frequently occurs in many of the math subjects, especially those where Trigonometry is used. Questions asking about unit circle coordinates often give an unknown coordinate and require us to use the properties of a unit circle to calculate these coordinates. (2:34)

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: mademetop
H1 tag goes around article main title. H2 tag goes around a 1 sentence blurb which appears on every page. H3 tag goes around the articles main subheadings.
Question 1: Is it smart/intelligent/proper to have an entire sentence as an H2 tag? Is there a word number limit? Does google say anything about preferring only 1 to 4 words max for H2's?
Question 2: I thought it might be brilliant to have our description text match this "blurb" text, and if it was also an H2, that would really look quite good to google. Might be a great way to organize things. What do you think?

Sub-sub title 1.1

Sub-sub title 1.2

Sub title 2

Sub-sub title 2.1

Sub title 3

Sub-sub title 3.1

Sub-sub title 3.2

 is a fitting tag to use to emphasise one particular part of the text, perhaps you should use that for your blub, and use H2 where you now use H3.
i'll second what vvv suggests.
i think you should use tags that are semantically correct for the context.
usually the unique description of a page wouldn't be the same text as a subheader on that page.
if that blurb is unique for each page it could be good meta description text.
i don't think the length of the H tag text length matters if it is relevant to the page.

Hi -
We're running BP 2.0.1 and the latest version of the plugin 1.1.0.
We can add avatars to the plugin in the back end of WP, but the Avatar suggestions do not show in the user's Change Avatar screen in the front end. We're using a custom theme, but we went back to using the change-avatar.php file from BuddyPress Legacy template, and still it doesn't work.
Can you advise? Does the plugin output use a hook that we may be missing in our theme?

Kennard confirms injury; exact extent unknown
USC senior defensive end Devon Kennard confirmed via Twitter reports that he suffered a torn pectoral muscle Thursday.
The exact extent of the injury is not yet known. Kennard did not attend the team's players-only workout on campus Friday morning.
Kennard is set to have surgery next week, according to ESPNLA.com, which first reported the injury. At that point he should find out whether he'll be out for the season or whether he could return for the stretch run.
I will have more on this story later today.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks trailed the Tampa Bay Lightning 1-0 after the first period at the United Center on Sunday night.
It was an even game until the Lightning went on a power play after a delay-of-game call against Niklas Hjalmarsson, who shot the puck into the stands from his own zone.
After a faceoff win, the Lightning worked the puck down low where Martin St. Louis centered it to Vincent Lecavalier who had great position on defenseman Brent Seabrook. Lecavalier had an easy tap-in.
The Hawks didn't have many good scoring chances in the first period, managing seven shots on net. Tampa Bay had only four.

text: 50 Cent Will Tweet a Picture of His Penis if the Giants Lose the Super BowlBrian Moylan1/25/12 4:40pmFiled to: SportsBetswagerspenis picturesfifty centMy best assetsGettypicTweetdTweetg46EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink It looks like 50 Cent has a lot riding on the Super Bowl. As The Hollywood Gossip pointed out, he accepted a bet on Twitter that means that if the Giants lose the Super Bowl he will publish a picture of his penis on the internet.The deal was made by a Twitterer named @MyBesetAssets. "Lets bet. If the Giants lose the Superbowl, u must post ur d*ck on the twitter. If they win, I'll post my boobs & face on here. Bet?" 50 quickly replied, "Ok." Miss Assets seems serious about the contest but do you think 50 will really follow through? A quick Google for naked pictures of him shows some nude shots that have been scrubbed from the web, do we really think he'll voluntarily send out his dick if the Giants lose? I doubt it, but I'm going to join Fifty's 5.6 million plus Twitter followers right now, just in case. Between this and Madonna, there are now two reasons for me to watch the Super Bowl. Go Patriots!

text: Benefits AT&T Settles Suit over Early Retirement Program October 27, 2011 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Telecommunications giant AT&T has agreed to cease discriminatory policies to settle an age discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). By Tara Cantore firstname.lastname@example.com | October 27, 2011 The EEOC had charged that AT&T, Inc. and a number of its subsidiaries discriminated against a class of retired AT&T workers by denying them the opportunity for reemployment solely because they retired under certain early retirement or enhanced severance programs. This practice violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the EEOC said in a press release. According to the agency's lawsuit, individuals who participated in the Voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Program (an AT&T Corp. program from 1998 to 1999, before its merger with SBC Communications from 2005 to 2007), the Enhanced Pension and Retirement Program (EPR – a pre-merger SBC program from 2000 to 2001), and the Change-in-Control Program (CIC – a pre-merger AT&T Corp. program conducted in connection with the merger) were restricted from being reemployed or engaged as contractors because they took one of these retirement packages.The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 20, 2009, after first trying to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. AT&T denied the allegations in the lawsuit, but agreed to change its policies related to the reemployment of retirees.The consent decree settling the suit prohibits AT&T from maintaining any policy that excludes from reemployment employees who left AT&T under one of the early retirement plans. The decree also prohibits AT&T from requiring a different process for selecting retirees than any other former employees."Many former employees who took an early retirement package years ago still need work, and will now have an equal opportunity to apply for new jobs at AT&T," said Anna M. Pohl, a trial attorney in the EEOC's New York District Office, in a news release.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Its not the type of song any artist likes to make, but Warren G hit the studio to record a musical tribute to his late best friend, hip hop singer Nate Dogg.
According to Hip Hop DX, Warren plans to digitally release the track "This Is Dedicated to You," an ode to Nate in the coming weeks.
In the dedication Warren pays homage to the legacy of the artist who assisted him on his most popular single, 1994's "Regulate."
"Regulatin' the era, standing side by side and we down for whatever/that's the days of the past now I'm looking at the future like fuck, I don't even wanna do music!" Warren reportedly rhymes on the track.
As previously reported, Nate Dogg passed away on March 15 due to complications related to congestive heart failure. He was 41 years old.
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
A few fellow students have taken to Instagram displaying an appalling lack of remorse

Enzymedica makes some darn good enzyme products! Usually, if not always, allergen free. Sort of pricey though. I am always shopping and comparing enzymes strengths, ingredients and prices. This is a good basic enzyme. Not as powerful as some of the other Enzymedica digestive enzyme products.

- Palpitations
- Shortness of breath on exertion
What causes palpitations and shortness of breath on exertion? 8 possible conditions
See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
In aortic valve disease, the valve that controls the flow of blood from your left ventricle (lower left heart chamber) to your aorta (main artery) malfunctions.
In mitral valve prolapse the flaps of the heart's mitral valve do not close correctly, which can make blood leak from one chamber into another. Lifelong heart abnormalities likely contribute to this condition.
Mitral valve stenosis, also known as mitral stenosis, is when the mitral valve opening is narrowed. This means that not enough blood can flow through it.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic condition that affects the chambers of your heart. CHF refers to fluid buildup around your heart.
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is a condition that occurs when the heart muscle is weakened due to insufficient blood flow to the heart's muscle. This inhibits the heart's ability to pump blood and can lead to heart failure.
The aorta is the main artery of the body. Oxygenated blood leaves the heart by way of the aorta and is carried to all parts of the body. The left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that pumps blood into the aort...

This is the first of a short series of articles where I plan on reviewing how my stock recommendations have been doing this year. I started the year bringing you 10 Alternative Energy Stocks I thought were worth speculating on for 2008, and I'll start this review with those articles, and also give you updates on what's been happening (or not) with the stocks. Click on the company name a link to the original article where I wrote about the stock.
Overall, a portfolio with equal dollar positions in these ten stocks is up 11.4% for the year, compared to the S&P 500 which is down 4.2% and the NASDAQ Clean Edge US Index, which is down approximately 14.3% (I took the number from CELS, the ETF which tracks the index, since I could not find up-to-date index values) since the start of the year.
#10 Cree, Inc. (NASDAQ:CREE) Dec 27, 2007: $23.50; June 9, 2008: $25.85 (up 10%).
Cree shot up as high as $35 early in the year, on buy-out speculation. There was also a quick bump when its transistors were used as part of a record breaking solar inverter. While a quick profit on a buy-out might be nice, the fundamentals and growing consumer interest in LEDs mean that I'm happy I didn't sell at the peak.
#9 Lighting Science Group (OTCPK:LSCG) Dec 27, 2007: $6.40 (split-adjusted), June 9, 2008: $5.90 (down 7.8%).
Another LED stock, Lighting Science saw a spectacular rise right after I recommended it, but was badly hurt by a patent infringement suit from Philips (NYSE:PHG) in February. I found this personally very annoying, since I'm long both companies. I have no idea how the lawsuit will turn out, but I'm holding both stocks for now.
#8 Maxwell Technologies (NASDAQ:MXWL) Dec 27, 2007: $8.10, June 9, 2008: $13.26 (up 64%)
Ultracapacitors have been much in the news this year as an enabling technology for hybrid vehicles. Since that's one of the reasons I picked the company, I'm naturally very pleased.
#7 Electro Energy, Inc. (EEEI) Dec 30, 2007: $0.68, June 9, 2008: $.65 (down 4.4%)
Electro-Energy has been up and down since I wrote about it, but still has not caught the attention of the investors piling in to battery stocks. I'm waiting patiently.
#6 Capstone Microturbine (NASDAQ:CPST) Dec 30, 2007: $1.62, June 9, 2008: $3.41 (up 110%)
Although I recommended this one, I've been totally shocked at how quickly it has run up. Mostly, this seems to be due to a large, high-profile sale into the hybrid bus market. I've taken the opportunity to take some profits (see my selling rule of thumb #2), but I'm still long.
#5 FuelCell Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL) Dec 30, 2007: $10.30, June 9, 2008: $8.66 (down 16%)
Although this one is down, I still like it for the same reasons. The out of the money puts I wrote on it look likely to expire unexercised, and I just wrote some more today.
#4 Composite Technology Corp. [CPTC.OB] Dec 30, 2007: $1.37, June 9, 2008: $0.99 (down 28%)
Like Electro Energy, Composite Technology still has not caught the attention of investors. I bought some more when I revisited the stock in March, and it's starting to look cheap again.
#3 Nevada Geothermal Power (OTCPK:NGLPF) Dec 31, 2007: $1.29, June 9, 2008: $1.25 (down 3.1%)
Another one requiring patience. I expect the big gains for this stock to come before their Pumpernickel project begins to produce electricity (assuming there aren't any unforeseen hitches), similar to what happened with US Geothermal (NYSEMKT:HTM) last year.
#2 Finavera Renewables [FNVRF.PK] Dec 31, 2007: $0.3371, June 9, 2008: $0.19 (down 43%)
I sold my position at a loss when I heard its wave energy license was subject to rehearing in late January. Since then, Finavera was issued a preliminary 3 year permit, but I've continued to stay away. My hopes for this one had been based on an expectation of investor euphoria for wave energy, not fundamentals, and given the down-trending markets, I don't expect that sort of irrational exuberance again in 2008.
#1 SHORT First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) Dec 31, 2007: $267, June 9, 2008: $245 (8.3% profit)
Since I wrote the article, a reader challenged my math on the impact of the prices on their bottom line. Although I've made a profit on this one, I question my original analysis, but have not re-run the numbers. The slight decline can be completely attributed to the declining overall market, and FSLR has outperformed the clean energy sector as a whole. I am still short a June $300 call, but do not plan to write another when it expires in a week and a half.
