A/C unit couldn't keep the humidity down
New bedding, paint
It is in Mountain Grove
We were there for deer hunting and could not get our hands on coffee for our thermos' or any breakfast (left before and returned after)We will try a different hotel next week.
Great location. It was right off the highway.
One of the beds was sunken in on one side of the mattress.
It was clean and had hot water.
The breakfast food was a little old.

Charlotte Bronte manuscript bought for £690,000 by Paris museumRoundup: Pop Culture & the Arts ... Movies, Documentaries and Museum Exhibits
A Charlotte Brontë manuscript is heading to France after being sold for £690,850 at Sotheby's in London. The miniature booklet, one of six handwritten "Young Men's Magazines" made by the author when she was 14, was bought by La Musée des Lettres et Manuscrits in Paris for more than twice the pre-sale estimate.
The manuscript is set in Glass Town, a fictional world created by the teenage Brontës, and contains 4,000 words over 19 pages small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. Formerly in a private collection and previously untraced, it contains ideas later fleshed out in Brontë's novels.
One scene, says Sotheby's book specialist Gabriel Heaton, anticipates one of the most famous episodes in Jane Eyre, in which Bertha, Mr Rochester's mad wife, tries to kill him by setting fire to the curtains in his bedroom.

On Wednesday, April 4 local non-profits in Granite Falls will rally for Western Fest 2012 with an all-city Western Fest Sweepstakes ticket drive to ramp-up the excitement level and fundraising efforts for the annual city celebration.
On the night of April 4, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. the Granite Falls Lions, Granite Falls Kiwanis, Granite Falls Ambulance and the Granite Falls Baseball Association will be canvassing the city of Granite Falls selling Western Fest Sweepstakes tickets. Tickets cost $50 and qualify a person for the annual $27,500 Western Fest Sweepstakes drawing.
The tickets also include free admission for two adults for the Friday and Saturday night street dance at Richter Baseball Field and a 2-for-1 buffet coupon to Meadows Buffet at Prairie's Edge Casino Resort (a major Western Fest sponsor).
The grand prize for the sweepstakes drawing is $10,000. The drawing will be held during the Saturday night street dance with 50 winners chosen. $10 from the proceeds of each ticket sold go to the community organization selling them. During the Sweepstakes Ticket Drive on April 4, the four organizations participating will equally split the proceeds earned that night.
"We have a pretty good little city celebration here," said Western Fest Committee member John Richter. "I don't want to say that (the sweepstakes tickets) make it, but they detinetly pay for it. And it's also a nice fundraiser for these other community organizations. Every dollar spent on these tickets goes right back to the community."
Holly Johnson, another Western Fest committee member organizing the April 4, ticket drive, asked that Granite Falls citizens interested in purchasing tickets leave their out door lights on to help ticket sellers. She also said that ticket sellers will be leaving flyers with information on how and where people can buy tickets later if they're not home during the ticket drive.
"The whole point of doing it this way...," said Johnson. "When (Butch Richter) was alive, he was a big seller for us. He'd go door-to-door every year. And it's challenging to sell tickets. So, we said let's try it this way this year. If we don't ask, we can't raise money. So this is just a great way to make it a team effort to support a community celebration."

Kirei- New Client Modding Guild
Hi guys, me and ande just started up a new guild devoted to client editing. should be pretty sweet. If you guys are into Client modding, you should definitely join up. Right now the guild is in it's infant stage, so don't expect a ton of people greeting you when you log in... but hey. That's how all guilds start out. We'll need all the help we can get trying to make this thing work and take off, but the results will be well worth it. Let me know if you're interested.
1st stage is very hard. not enough people, not enough activity, you take what you can get. invite. invite. invite.
2nd stage you have people who go onto the guild regularly and talk to each other for more than a couple hours a day.
3rd stage- Guild is stable. you can be a bit more picky when choosing members, and you can always expect people to be online when you log in.
4th stage- Fusion, islacker, mmokami... guilds like that would fit in there.

2. Re: Error msg in workflow after patching to 184.108.40.206.600971397 Dec 3, 2012 2:27 PM (in response to _RahulS_)Thanks!
I got the same answer from the support and the support also said that "Free form" is not recommended and only added in 11.1.2.x for backward compatibility. Seams strange since it is a great way to set up the workflow if you don't what anything fancy.
3. Re: Error msg in workflow after patching to 220.127.116.11.600971397 Jan 14, 2013 9:14 PM (in response to 971397)Hi all!
Got a new answer from the support a few week ago and this issue will be solved in 22.214.171.124.601, which will, according to Oracle Support, be realease during Q1 2013.
4. Re: Error msg in workflow after patching to 126.96.36.199.600mcahren Jun 3, 2013 9:31 PM (in response to 971397)We're having this issue after installing the 126.96.36.199.600 patch over .102 as well (this didn't come up as known issue), and the workaround of "use Bottom Up" doesn't work for us, because we want multiple planners in an organizational division to be able to write to the same PU at the same time. You can't do that with Bottom Up, because only one person can have control at a time.
So... the .601 patch still doesn't exist, and uninstalling the .600 patch didn't fix the issue. Support basically says, "it's a bug, use the workaround".
So frustrating!

I'm using this following code to display an UL of recent wordpress posts on my homepage. Currently when one of the titles is clicked it goes directly to the post page.
<?php get_archives('postbypost', '10', 'custom', '<li>', '</li>'); ?>
I would like the link on each post title to direct the user to the categories archive page with an anchor to the title of that particular post.
How do I do this?
I'm hoping you've understood me.

From the 1950s to the early '60s, one of the most successful singing artist was Sam Cooke. He started out as a gospel singer and scored hit after hit on the pop music charts.
It's been more than 40 years since the legendary singer was tragically killed, but his music has not been forgotten. Peter Guralnick, who has written extensively on American music and musicians, has written a biography on Cooke, titled, "Dream Boogie." Read an excerpt.
It was in 1957 that Cooke took a big risk and switched from gospel music to pop. He wrote and recorded such hits as "You Send Me," "Win Your Love For Me," "Everybody Loves to Cha Cha Cha," "Only Sixteen," "What a Wonderful World," and "A Change Is Going to Come."
For 15 years Guralnick tells The Saturday Early Show he has wanted to write this book. But he eventually got access to people who were close to Cooke, such as his wife Barbara, who had never given an interview and other family members who had not spoken to any great extent.
Don't miss Guralnick's interview.

I wish to transfer my entries from one WordPress blog to another, I've handled this sort of thing on another occasion and it all went over fine. This time, however, it stopped importing entries after March 14th, my most recent entry being April 27th.
I'm not really sure how to rectify this. Should I try doing it again or will I have doubles of all my entries? Should I delete all my entries and re-upload?

female bust texture test by mojetteWatch
©2010-2016 mojetteMature Content
I'm doing some texture test in Zbrush4, rendered in Zbrush too (composited in photoshop). I corrected the pose a little bit too and opened the eyes.
you can find the untextured (closed eye) model there [link]

Very nice job! I'm impressed by how much detail is put into this. One of the things that stands out in that regard, awkwardness of the note aside, I'm impressed by the detail and imperfections in the nipples/areolae.
Gorgeous work!
(Now I want to see her without the tats/scars too - which isn't how you designed her in the first place. Oh, well.)
(Now I want to see her without the tats/scars too - which isn't how you designed her in the first place. Oh, well.)
Beautiful work!The eyes are really sultry and add so much character.
wowo, really good work!
dunno why, but i kinda find this version to be cooler than the final- guess the tattooing(?) stands out better and gives her more of an otherworldly feel.
I keep coming back to look at this deviation. Freaking gorgeous!
That's what I'm talkin' about! great!
I like the facial tribal markings. Very original, and looks vaguely african.
She's beautiful. I like how the face markings are like tribal patterns for the digital age.
Wow that's a great skin shader you've used - wonderful face markings too Superb!
boah! like it a lot
She looks really beautiful I specially like her eyes and lips.
Wow, fantastic character she looks very real
love it!!
WOw.. Looks even better with the textures on.
Just link me where to buy it already man!!
Great looking bust! =] Do you push in the sockets and close the eyelids around them when you sculpt, or do you resculpt part of the face when you add the spheres for the eyes? Also, have you ever considered putting up a timelapse of your sculpting process? I'd certainly buy it if you had a gnomon/eat3d - like dvd!
well done! the proportions are perfect... only the ear i think it should be a little bigger
the part i most like is the neck, u did a great job on this
See Ya!!
the part i most like is the neck, u did a great job on this
See Ya!!
Amazing! Anatomy is on point, and she is strangely beautiful.. love textures and facial tattoo.
Reminds me of Grace Jones. Nice work.
Great work man! She would make a really cool 3dprint indeed!
In an attempt to compliment you and not sound like too much of a groupie...I love the detail in your work!!!
Very nice !
curious as to whether or not the texture on her face is an adhesive of some kind or if that is her skin that is raised. it seems too perfect to have been painted.
I really like this... just one detail comes to me a bit strange... her ears looks kinda small. Maybe its just my opinion, but they could be a bit larger thought. Nevertheless is an awesome model
cant get enough of this
very nice bust.
looking very very cool. would be interesting to see you sculpt the full character.
Great work as always!
Great work as always!
really nice....i like the texture

It's not right that user is auto-registered when leaves comment.
Sometimes, you need to check additional data when registering, so it's better to leave openid comments as guest, not as user.
For now, I solved problem with this, but we really need an option to make openid comments from guests, or completely disable openid plugin client side.

Conflict of Interest
'Answered Prayers and Other Tragedies' at Richard Hugo House
You'd think I could tell you what's going to happen at tonight's Hugo Literary Series event, considering that Sherman Alexie, Michelle Tea, and David Schmader all have close ties to The Stranger (Alexie and Schmader have weekly columns, Tea is a sometime contributor), but Alexie's being very quiet about what he's going to read and Tea and Schmader refused to answer the question on Hugo House's website. Mysterious. There will also be a reading by Hugo House New Works Competition winner Ben Blum and music by Stranger Associate Editor Emeritus Sean Nelson.

At the next nebula, take a right. Here's a good one for you: When we eventually launch a spacecraft that's capable of exploring the Milky Way, how will we navigate between the stars? According to some German researchers at the Max Planck Institute, we'll use intergalactic pulsar-based GPS.
No matter how good satellite navigation systems get, they still don't work where we spend the majority of our time: indoors. A company called ByteLight is trying to change this situation with a system that uses LED lighting to provide devices with accurate location data.
Nissan Leaf needs only a front-mounted laser scanner to navigate on familiar roads, brake for pedestrians
When the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a Freedom of Information Act request for an explanation of how the FBI plans to use GPS tracking, the government responded by releasing two heavily redacted memos. Actual information on how the FBI and Justice Department interpret their latitude regarding the ruling isn't being released.

Huawei Sales Pass $32 Billion, Narrows Gap With Ericsson
Huawei Technologies Co., China's largest maker of telephone equipment, said revenue exceeded $32 billion in 2011, narrowing its gap behind Sweden's Ericsson AB.
Revenue grew about 11 percent last year, William Xu, a Huawei board member and president in charge of its enterprise division, said in an interview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, citing preliminary figures. The Shenzhen-based company also met its profit targets, helped by sales of mobile devices and growth at the enterprise business, he said.
At $32 billion, Huawei's revenue was about 50 percent more than France's Alcatel Lucent, which sells fewer products than Huawei. Stockholm-based Ericsson, the biggest maker of wireless network equipment, reported 2011 sales of 227 billion kronor ($34.5 billion). Chief Executive Officer Ren Zhengfei is adding cloud computing and business computing services as well as sales of smartphones and tablets as Huawei works on a goal of generating $100 billion in sales.
"The networks are converging, from the terminal to the infrastructure, supported by cloud computing and applications," Xu said in the interview yesterday. "Huawei in the future could be one of the leading companies" in the field of information and telecommunications systems.
Shares of Ericsson fell 0.2 percent to 66.45 kronor at 9:14 a.m. in Stockholm. Alcatel Lucent slipped 0.2 percent on the Paris exchange. Huawei is closely held.
Slower Growth?
More than $3.8 billion of last year's sales came from Xu's division, which focuses on contract sales of business computing services, as it expanded in Europe and the Middle East and made headway with smaller U.S. corporations, he said.
Growth at Huawei Enterprise may be slower than originally anticipated, Xu said, adding that $15 billion in contract revenue by 2015 is a more realistic target. Leon He, another Huawei executive, in May last year gave a sales projection of $15 billion to $20 billion for the division.
That more cautious outlook stems from a change in strategy where Huawei now works more through system integrators such as Spain's Telefonica SA to create solutions for specific industries.
"In the past, in the previous strategy there was more high-level integration so there was more conflict with our partners," Xu said. "As a result our sales revenue might not be as high as in the past strategy, but we'll have closer cooperation."
$100 Billion
Still, the enterprise business plans to increase its workforce to more than 20,000 people this year from over 10,000 at the end of 2011, Xu said.
The enterprise unit is making about 40 percent of its sales in China, Xu said, adding that that ratio will probably remain steady through 2015.
Xu is one of four executive directors on Huawei's 13-member board, according to its 2010 annual report. Prior to taking charge of the enterprise division, he served in roles including president of the international technical sales and marketing department; president of the European region; and chief strategy and marketing officer. Xu, who holds a Master's Degree from Southeast University in China, joined Huawei in 1991.
Huawei's push beyond its traditional business of supplying equipment for phone networks is intended to more than triple total sales to $100 billion in the next five to 10 years, the company said last April.

Bam! Zap! Pow! Choose whichever 1960s Batman onomatopoeic word you like, the likely loss of Evgeni Malkin for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL and MCL is tantamount to a shot in the gut for his fantasy owners.
This is a huge blow. Maybe Malkin wasn't playing like the top-10 player he can be this season, but that didn't exclude him from doing so for your team during the final months. This is certainly not the same type of loss as Tomas Fleischmann was for fantasy. Fleischmann was a great pickup and a huge bonus, but Malkin was one of your first two draft picks and a cornerstone of your lineup.
Now that I have talked you out onto the ledge, let's see if I can't talk you into backing away from it.
Yes, this is a difficult loss to overcome, but you may be able to make up for it with a few shrewd moves. If you are in a league that is usually tight on trading, the best advice is to be a realist and aim to only replace what Malkin has been doing for your team, instead of what he could have been doing. While he may be considered a top-20 fantasy forward, the reality this season is that he ranks 47th among forwards on the ESPN Player Rater. If you aim to replace that production, rather than aim for a top-20 forward, you may even be able to do it for the cost of a waiver-wire pickup.
Mark Recchi, Boston Bruins: Recchi has shot up to 54th on the ESPN Player Rater and is within a hair of equaling Malkin's value. The lion's share of Recchi's value has been packed into the past month after he hooked up on a line Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand that has been tearing up the league ever since. Recchi is available in 55 percent of ESPN leagues and should be the first choice for most owners looking to replace Malkin.
Of course, since virtually all of Recchi's value is tied directly to his line being so productive, there is risk inherent in such a move. In which case you may consider turning to a player that has been steady all season, but has ramped up his game in recent weeks.
Nikolai Kulemin, Toronto Maple Leafs: While Recchi hadn't done a whole lot before the calendar flipped to 2011, Kulemin has been quietly busy all season. He may be lagging behind his linemates Mikhail Grabovski and Clarke MacArthur on the ESPN Player Rater as the 70th-best forward this season, but he is the catalyst to the line's success. Kulemin has shone through more clearly in recent weeks, ranking as the 30th-best forward on the Player Rater during the past seven days. He may be a bit further down on the list than Malkin or Recchi, but Kulemin is climbing. He is available in 45 percent of ESPN leagues.

However, neither Kulemin nor Recchi offer the point-per-game upside of Malkin. Even though Malkin wasn't carrying your offense this season, there was still a chance he could have done so during the final 30 or so games. It's that upside that you were probably banking on to help bring home a fantasy championship. Heaven forbid you actually bought low on him in recent weeks (like I did). If you need to have that top value for your squad, but can't afford to part with any spare pieces on defense or in goal, you have but one option ...
Peter Forsberg, Colorado Avalanche: It's about as long a shot as you can take, but sometimes things just align themselves right. The same weekend Malkin goes down, a former point-per-game superstar inks a deal to return to the NHL after three years away. You know the counterarguments by heart: His foot is ailing, he is 37 years old and he is out of game shape. But if you are going to make up for Malkin's lost potential at minimal cost, Forsberg offers the best gamble. Foppa is a guy who only once in his entire career (his brief stint with the Nashville Predators) finished below a point-per-game pace. That even includes his troubled comeback attempt in 2007-08 when groin strains hampered his availability (he still scored 14 points in nine games). If the comeback doesn't go well for Forsberg, c'est la vie, you can still try other equally desperate attempts to fix your offense later. If things go well, though, you may have just scooped up 30 points off the waiver wire. Forsberg is still available in 86 percent of ESPN leagues. Go for it.
Rising and falling
Pavel Datsyuk, Detroit Red Wings (steady at No. 9): While Datsyuk didn't actually climb or fall in the ranks this week, he still should be highlighted. I was pre-emptive last week when I slotted him back into the top 10 when he was taken off injured reserve. Datsyuk was expected to return after the All-Star break, but needed a bit more time. He is now expected to make his return on Monday night. Datsyuk does have a ripple effect with his presence, as Henrik Zetterberg doesn't have to carry the whole load with Datsyuk back. Hank doesn't slip in the rankings as he was already adjusted down last week when Datsyuk was supposed to return. While Zetterberg is having a strong season, I wouldn't hesitate to swap him for another player ranked in the top 25. He just isn't as dominant with Datsyuk present.
R.J. Umberger, Columbus Blue Jackets (up 19 spots): This is an effort to give credit where credit is due. I have a tendency to not rank Umberger very high because he used to appear as one-dimensional goal scorer who found himself outside the top six too frequently. My bad. Umberger has balanced scoring this season and looks fantastic on the second line with Antoine Vermette and Kristian Huselius. Umberger will bust his career highs for goals and points this season and deserves to be an everyday fantasy forward in all leagues.
Phil Kessel, Toronto Maple Leafs (down 18 spots): What may have been an unspoken feud crossed a line this weekend as Kessel and coach Ron Wilson exchanged some barbs. Kessel was demoted to the third line, and rightly so. He hasn't scored since Jan. 11. The consistent shots on goal help buoy his value, but with a minus-22 and no prospects for linemates, there isn't much hope left. I'd still hold onto him with the faint hope that a shakeup at the trade deadline brings him a linemate to work with, but Kessel is falling out of favor quickly with fantasy owners in the same way he has with his own coach. In hindsight, we should have spotted this when the other potential offensive catalysts on the team, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin clicked on a line with Clarke MacArthur, with Kessel left holding the bag.
Patrick Sharp, Chicago Blackhawks (down 10 spots): He may have had a hot All-Star Game, but Sharp has been ice cold since Jan. 9. With just three points in eight games and a minus-6 rating, the current cold streak coincides with the Blackhawks' third line picking up some extra slack. So long as Dave Bolland & Co. continue scoring at such a pace, there isn't as much pressure for Sharp and Marian Hossa to come through on offense. Here is hoping something changes soon, but in the meantime, Sharp doesn't get to hang around in the elite category.
Scoring lines
Devin Setoguchi, San Jose Sharks: Keep a close eye because it may be short-lived, but Setoguchi has made some noise since landing a second-line role while Logan Couture was sick. Setoguchi is on a five-game, seven-point streak with Joe Pavelski and Ryane Clowe as his linemates. Couture is back in the lineup and has certainly earned his top-six spot, so Setoguchi could quickly find himself out of the mix again but has a tendency to score as long as he is playing top minutes.
Andy McDonald, St. Louis Blues: Following on the heels on teammate T.J. Oshie, McDonald returned to bolster the Blues' offense even further. He is skating with Brad Boyes and David Backes to form the team's de facto top line. McDonald had a streak of eight games with 12 points shortly before he suffered a concussion in early December. His ownership percentage is down to 22 percent and he is worthy of a gamble.
Teddy Purcell and Simon Gagne, Tampa Bay Lightning: As the Bolts have a full complement of forwards going, the team has finally settled its top two lines into a pair of producing units. While Steven Stamkos, Steve Downie and Martin St. Louis continue to do their thing, Vincent Lecavalier, Gagne and Purcell have been catching on of late as backups. Purcell has nine points and Gagne has seven points during the Lightning's past five games. Both players are widely available and deserving of a roster spot.
Power plays
Mikael Samuelsson, Vancouver Canucks: Coach Alain Vigneault has finally let Mikael Samuelsson out of his dog house. After spelling Samuelsson on the third line for the better part of a month and a half, Samuelsson is back on the second unit with Ryan Kesler and Mason Raymond. To that end, Samuelsson has eight points in his past five games, is playing more minutes and taking more shots on goal. He is easily worth your fantasy attention again, but the real key here is that with Alexander Edler on the sideline, Samuelsson joins the Sedin twins and Kesler on a dominant four-forward power play. Four of Samuelsson's past eight points have come on the man advantage.

Is there any way to auto-generate a 150x150 thumbnail image for each post based on the post's selected featured image? This would be preferable as opposed to manually going into each post, copying the images 150x150 image URL and pasting it thumb custom field.
Inside your post loop you can do;
This first checks for the existence of a featured image and if so it will display one at your default 'thumbnail' size as set in your settings/media options.
This would also work within your loop;
This would work (but can be used outside of your loop);
Beyond that there are other functions to help you customize sizes should that not achieve what you want. However the above defaults to 150x150.
Let me know how you go.

Now tied with Hispanics as the fastest-growing U.S. group, the nation's 15.1 million Asian-Americans are slowly becoming visible as founders of startups in Silicon Valley, owners of ethnic eateries, grocery stores and other small businesses in cities across the U.S., as well as candidates for political office and a key bloc of voters in states such as California, Nevada and Virginia, according to experts.
Projected to make up 1 in 10 residents by midcentury, Asian-Americans as a whole tend to be more satisfied than the general public with their lives and the direction of the country. They lean Democratic, prefer a big government that provides more services and place more value on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success.
The Pew study also revealed wide variations among Asian subgroups in poverty, employment and education, which sometimes belied their typecast as a "model minority." For instance:
—Poverty: As a whole, Asian-Americans had a poverty rate in 2010 of 11.9 percent, lower than the 12.8 percent for the general U.S. population. By country of origin, however, Koreans, Vietnamese and Chinese were more likely than the average American to live in poverty, at rates of 14 percent or more.
—Education: The share of Asian-Americans who hold at least a bachelor's degree surpasses the national average, 49 percent to 28 percent. Vietnamese, however, fell below the national average at 26 percent. People from India were most likely to have a college degree, at 70 percent.
—Unemployment: Asian-Americans ages 25 and older were somewhat less likely to be unemployed than the national average for the first quarter of 2012 — 6 percent compared to 7.4 percent for all U.S. workers. But in long-term unemployment, Asian-Americans fared much worse, with median duration of unemployment at 28 weeks, second only to African-Americans at 31 weeks. The national average was 22 weeks.
—Illegal immigration: While immigrants from Asia often obtain visas and arrive legally, many also sneak across the U.S. border or become undocumented residents after overstaying their visas. Up to 15 percent of Asian immigrants in the U.S. are here illegally, compared to 45 percent of Hispanic immigrants.
The National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, a coalition of 30 Asian-American national groups, called the Pew study an "important conversation starter." But the group expressed concern that the report focused too much on "one-dimensional narratives of exceptionalism" about Asian-Americans at the expense of individual subgroups including Cambodians and Bangladeshis, who suffer low rates of educational attainment. Millions of Asian-Americans also are uninsured, and poverty has increased significantly in their communities in recent years, the group said.
"The Pew study could lead some to draw conclusions that reflect inaccurate stereotypes about Asian-Americans being a community with high levels of achievement and few challenges," said Deepa Iyer, who chairs the national council. "The community is not monolithic."
The Pew survey is based on an analysis of census data as well as interviews with 3,511 Asian adults living in the U.S., conducted by cell phone or landline from Jan. 3 to March 27. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.4 percentage points for all respondents, higher for subgroups.

Robot Master / Robot Controller Fix
If you try to do these at the same time, the probability is that they will glitch, blocking you out of Robot Controller. No need to panic!
There's an easy fix to this:
1) Go to your computers "My Documents" folder and look for a file named:
Number_<your Gamertag>.sav
As an example, here's mine: 584109eb_Jesas K Rist.sav
2) Copy it somewhere else in case you have anything saved or delete it if you haven't progressed far or can loose your progress.
3) Boot up Tinker, log in to Live and go to Set 7 -1* (or any other, actually) and use your method for a few minutes to get the achievement. End a level and it will pop.
4) Shut the game down.
5) Copy back your old save file and be happy. :)
*Note: I advise level 7-1 because you can do 100 turns. By not using space bar and restarting manually, you can get it in 10 minutes flat. I took the time to drink a cup of coffee and the occasional Space press.
Worked for me, no reason why it shouldn't work for you.
Thanks for the tip, will try if it happens. By the way, that achievement in "The Club" that you can unlock but it gets locked... is there any similar fix for it? Thanks.

The LAM Foundation is an amazing grass roots organization that does an outstanding job of carrying out its mission to support LAM patients and provide funding for researchers to help find a cure for this disease. We are blessed to have such a strong organization for such a rare disease. The foundation continuously provides support for the LAM patients. The pace of science for LAM has been remarkable. This would not have been possible without the efforts of The LAM Foundation. The LAM Foundation truly is a model organization.

Your doctor will want to know what type of activity triggered your muscle pain and whether there was a pop in the muscle at the time of injury. The doctor will ask about your symptoms, especially any decrease in muscle strength or any difficulty moving.
Your doctor will want to know whether you've had recent fever, weight loss, leg numbness, urinary or bladder problems, or other symptoms that may point to a more severe medical problem.
After noting your symptoms and past medical history, your doctor will examine you, checking for muscle tenderness, spasm, weakness and decreased muscle movement. If this exam points to a mild or moderate muscle strain, you may not need any additional testing. However, if the diagnosis is in doubt, X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan may be helpful.
If you have back pain, your doctor may order additional tests to check for a urinary tract infection or a problem involving the vertebrae (backbones), vertebral disks, spinal canal or spinal cord.

Secretary-General's remarks at meeting with leaders of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the margins of the General Debate
New York, 25 September 2013
Thank you all for coming here today.
I am pleased to personally offer my warmest congratulations on CARICOM's fortieth anniversary. I would like to thank the current chair of CARICOM, Madame Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
During those four decades, CARICOM has consistently supported the United Nations.
At times, CARICOM has been ahead of the curve in demanding that the international community rise to the challenges of our day. Your countries have been at the forefront on climate change, the needs of small States, equitable access to markets and other pressing issues.
This year, we are fortunate to have a distinguished son of the Caribbean, Ambassador John Ashe, who is now acting as President of the 68th session of the General Assembly. We have already been working very, very hard, very closely. I am confident he will continue your proud tradition of standing up for the issues that matter to your region and our world.
Ambassador Ashe is just one of many distinguished Caribbean officials contributing to the work of the United Nations.
In Haiti, where CARICOM has traditionally shown its solidarity, I benefit from the leadership of Ms. Sandra Honoré as my Special Representative and Head of the UN Stabilization Mission.
Around the world, I benefit from Caribbean leadership on climate change and the challenges of Small Island Developing States. I applaud CARICOM for organizing the first-ever meeting of the General Assembly on the prevention of non-communicable diseases. And I sincerely thank you for leading global efforts to build a permanent memorial honouring the victims of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, which I was honoured to open with Prime Minister [Portia Simpson] Miller of Jamaica yesterday..
I am grateful for all that CARICOM has done so far – but I have even greater expectations for your contributions in the future.
This is especially important as we shape a post-2015 development agenda.
I count on you to contribute to the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. Its next session will address the needs of countries in special situations. This will be an opportunity to highlight the priorities of small island developing States.
As you know, I have called on all leaders yesterday to participate in next year's climate summit to add momentum to finalizing an ambitious, legal agreement on climate change in 2015. Even though the date has not been fixed, I will make sure that it will be very convenient to all Heads of State and Government, because I am going to have just one day reserved before or during the General Debate when you will be here anyway. So I hope you will pencil in your calendar already for next year's political schedule.
At the same time, I would encourage you to engage in the whole range issues on the global agenda. I hope you will focus even on problems that may not directly affect Caribbean countries.
We should all be concerned about the terrible crisis in Syria. Last month's chemical weapons attack rightly sparked global outrage. We were all appalled and shocked. At the same time, we must remember that the terrible death toll from that incident represents only a fraction of the more than 100,000 people who have been killed in Syria. I am resolved to do everything possible to facilitate a peaceful solution to the conflict. This afternoon I had a meeting with all P5 Foreign Ministers. We discussed only Syrian issues. I urged them to act immediately without losing any time, any momentum.
Although your countries may be small, your influence can be big. CARICOM members have strong democratic traditions. They have a history of multilateralism. The Caribbean region can share valuable lessons with the world.
I look forward to hearing your views so we can strengthen our partnership and reach our common goals.
Thank you very much.

Salsoul Records
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
This article is about the record label. For SalSoul the Puerto Rican Salsa radio station see Cadena Salsoul.
|Salsoul Records
|Parent company
|BMG Rights Management
|Official website
Salsoul Records is a New York City based record label, founded by three brothers, Joseph Cayre, Kenneth Cayre, and Stanley Cayre (the Cayre brothers). Salsoul issued about 300 singles, including many disco 12-inch releases, and a string of albums in the 1970s and early 1980s.
The label started in business in 1974, went defunct in 1985 and was relaunched in 1992. Artists such as The Salsoul Orchestra (led by Vincent Montana Jr), Instant Funk, Loleatta Holloway, Double Exposure, First Choice, Joe Bataan, Skyy, Carol Williams, Jocelyn Brown, Inner Life and Charo were at one time part of their roster.
Bethlehem Music Company's catalogs, which included Salsoul Records, Bethlehem Records (a jazz label) and others, were licensed by Verse music group from 2010 for five years, before Verse's catalogs were bought out by BMG Rights Management in 2015.[1][2]
The Cayre family had been involved in many entrepreneurial ventures before they stumbled upon manufacturing and distribution of 8-track tapes, which included Bethlehem Records, in the early 1970s. They had purchased some catalogs of Mexican music (mostly in the Mericana genre) to distribute, and inadvertently infringed the copyrights of CBS Records and RCA Records by selling them in the United States. They mended fences with the major labels, and even acquired a sole license for North American distribution for some of CBS Latino catalog. This led to recording sessions, involving Bataan, that were distributed by CBS. When the major label was unable to further market the music profitably, the rights reverted to the Cayres and they were up and running in the record business proper.
According to Ken Cayre, it was his exposure to the blossoming of early discothèques that gave him the idea to record music specifically for the dance market. Salsoul released the first commercially available 12-inch single, Double Exposure's Ten Percent, in 1976. Salsoul was affected by the disco backlash of 1979, but it was one of the few labels to survive after the death of disco. It continued to release new material until 1984 when the Cayre brothers shut down their recorded music operations to concentrate on the home video business, (such as GoodTimes Entertainment).[3]
In 1992, Salsoul Records was revived as Salsoul New Generation Records (also known as Double J Records). Because of the resurgent interest prompted by Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation", Black Box's "Ride On Time" & Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations" in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the label's catalogue was digitally remastered. It is notably more popular in Europe and the United Kingdom than in the United States. Two volumes of remix albums were also issued the same year.
A year after its revival, it changed its name to Bethlehem Music Company, but it still often used Salsoul as an imprint, with Bethlehem Music Company focusing on releasing Salsoul material and also Bethlehem's jazz recordings.
The Name Salsoul[edit]
The label's name was conceived by artist Joe Bataan, who recorded some of the earliest sessions for the Cayre brothers (predating the label's formation). "Salsoul" was street lingo for the musical culture of urban Latinos who were absorbing African American Soul music and infusing into their own Salsa music, and vice versa. He had chosen the name for an LP he made for the Cayre brothers. Joe Bataan had the first single, "The Bottle" and album, "Afro-filipino", on the initial Salsoul label released through Epic, before a new deal with RCA kicked off the dance label properly
The Philly Soul sound[edit]
As he admired the sound of rhythm and blues music that came to be known as Philly soul, Ken Cayre hunted down the genre's best session musicians. In particular, he started working with the key session players for Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International Records label and its predecessor/creative core: Gamble-Huff Productions, founding members of the MFSB Orchestra on Philadelphia International. Gamble and Huff were in dispute with their key musicians over business matters and Salsoul quickly took the chance to put them under contract. Among these Philly soul artists tapped for Salsoul were Vince Montana (orchestral arrangements and vibes), Norman Harris (lead and rhythm guitar, arrangements, songwriting and production), Ronnie Baker (bass guitar, arrangement and production), Earl Young (drums and percussion), Bunny Sigler and others. Baker, Harris and Young are now widely credited with crystallizing the sound and structure of a disco record.[citation needed]
Young's insistent use of the hi-hat cymbal made it easy for DJs to mix records in noisy clubs, as the high frequency of the cymbal stood out over the background noise and could be easily heard in the headphones of the DJ. Baker would plant his key bass notes on top of the kick drum of Young, making for a solid and thunderous bass sound. His widely-imitated signature style is best heard on the record Love is the Message by MFSB.
It was Montana who wrote, arranged and produced the first Salsoul hit, "Salsoul Hustle" by the newly formed Salsoul Orchestra, including members of the Philly session team. During the following years, the label enjoyed a string of hits, but Salsoul's biggest successes came in the later years, as the company's music moved in direction from dance/disco towards funk. Instant Funk reached the top of the Billboard R&B chart (#20 pop) in 1979 with "Got My Mind Made Up", a million-seller produced by Bunny Sigler, with the group's follow-up album also going gold. Skyy made it to #1 R&B in 1981 with "Call Me" (#26 pop) and Aurra climbed to #6 R&B in the same year with their release, "Make Up Your Mind" (#71 pop). Sigler also reached the R&B top 10 in 1978 with his solo single. "Let Me Party With You" (#8 R&B, #43 pop) on the Gold Mind subsidiary.
The Cayres also chose to record at the same studios, Sigma Sound as Gamble & Huff in Philadelphia (one of the earliest facilities to install 24-track equipment and in possession of one of the most admired "live rooms" for accommodating small orchestras). This is why it is difficult to tell an MFSB recording from a Salsoul Orchestra recording, as the musicians, arrangers, and recording facility were the same. Many of the remixes and singles were mixed or recorded by Bob Blank at his Blank Tapes Studios in New York, using the then-new technology of automated mixing.
First Choice[edit]
Baker, Harris and Young had the girl group First Choice under contract and they brought them along to Salsoul. Led by Rochelle Fleming, the group had success on the Philly Groove label with Armed and Extremely Dangerous, which Salsoul acquired and would re-release among its classic catalogue in the 1990s. For Salsoul, First Choice would record a string of classic disco anthems, most notably "Dr. Love" and "Let No Man Put Asunder", which remained popular with urban DJs years after being issued as a dance remix.
"Love Sensation" and Salsoul's Revival[edit]
Loleatta Holloway's "Love Sensation" was produced by Dan Hartman for her fourth and final album on the Salsoul subsidiary label, Gold Mind, run by Norman Harris. It was later sampled into "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and, more than a year beforehand, also in "Ride On Time" by House pioneers Black Box. Black Box were at first criticised by fans of vintage Salsoul and Ms. Holloway herself, but after legal matters were settled many lauded the Italian DJ group for exposing an entire new generation to the Salsoul Sound.
It is doubtful that the "second coming of Salsoul" in the 1990s would have occurred if not for Black Box's initial "borrowing" of Ms. Holloway's studio vamp. After an initial "white label" period (a now-common "trial release" for a dance recording that is often unhindered by legal clearance for any samples it contains), Black Box had legally acquired the license to Mr. Hartman's composition and the use of the Salsoul recording. Ms. Holloway's work has since been sampled frequently, and the ownership of publishing rights for other recordings, most notably "Dreaming", has also been disputed.
Disco received little in the way of serious historical study and documentation until the mid-1990s, when those studying the explosion of house music began to seriously documents its roots. An early champion for the elevation of Salsoul's reputation was English DJ, producer, artist, and label executive Dave Lee (aka Joey Negro), who himself had released several "borrowed" compositions under the moniker MDEMM (an ecstasy reference) beginning in late 1988: well ahead of Marky Mark and Black Box (late 1989 and 1990 respectively). He has since acquired a reputation as "chief historian of Salsoul", although this title also belongs to mixer/producer Tom Moulton, who has an equivalent reputation in the US. Joey Negro has since remixed and contributed to the production of several re-issues from the label's back catalog.

My best advice is do not even consider this dump. We have travelled through out the world & stayed in some pretty grim places, but this is by far the worst accommodation we have ever stayed at. The owner had his priorities completely wrong. He was more concerned about 1000 cable channels than investing in his property. The apartment had mould on the walls, stank of must, and utensils looked like they had never been cleaned. We arrived early evening & thankfully did not unpack as the next morning when we woke, the bed was saturated & so was most of the room. We decided that was enough & left immediately, together with other guests. Thankfully we found a lovely little place about 2 km down the road & fortunately got our money back.

Gerald Herbert, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A resurgent Rick Santorum won Republican presidential caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado on Tuesday night, a stunning sweep that raised fresh questions about front-runner Mitt Romney's appeal among the ardent conservatives at the core of the party's political base.
Santorum triumphed, as well, in a nonbinding Missouri primary that was worth bragging rights but no national convention delegates.
"Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota," the jubilant former Pennsylvania senator told cheering supporters in St. Charles, Mo. Challenging both his GOP rival and the Democratic president, he declared that on issues ranging from health care to "Wall Street bailouts, Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama."
Returns from 83 percent of Minnesota's precincts showed Santorum with 45 percent support, Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 27 percent and Romney — who won the state in his first try for the nomination four years ago — with 17 percent. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed with 11 percent.
It was closer in Colorado, where returns from all the precincts showed Santorum with 40 percent of the vote to 35 for Romney. Gingrich had 13, and Paul claimed 12 percent.
Romney showed no sign of disappointment in remarks to supporters.
"This was a good night for Rick Santorum. I want to congratulate Sen. Santorum, but I expect to become the nominee with your help," he told supporters in Denver.
If the night was good for Santorum, it was grim for Gingrich, who made scant effort in any of the states that voted during the day. He ran far off the pace in both caucus states, forced to watch from the sidelines while Santorum boasted of being the candidate with conservative appeal.
There were 37 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in Minnesota and 33 more in Colorado, and together, they accounted for the largest one-day combined total so far in the race for the GOP nomination.
The victories were the first for Santorum since he eked out a 34-vote win in the lead-off Iowa caucuses a month ago, and he reveled in the moment. "I don't stand here to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama," he told his supporters.
He had faded far from the lead in the primaries and caucuses since, and Gingrich seemed to eclipse him as the leading conservative rival to Romney when he won the South Carolina primary late last month.
While Romney throttled back after victories in Florida and Nevada in the past several days, Santorum campaigned aggressively in all three states on the ballot, seeking a breakthrough to revitalize his campaign.
He won Minnesota largely the way he did Iowa, dispatching his organizers from the first state to the second and courting pastors and tea party leaders alike.
Romney's campaign moved swiftly to take the sting out of the Missouri vote. The state's Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, a Romney supporter, congratulated the winner but noted the state's delegates are still up for grabs. He said, "Mitt Romney has the organization and the resources to go the distance in this election, and I believe he'll ultimately win our party's nomination."
And it was not clear where Santorum could exploit his victory. Aides have already said he has little hope in Maine caucuses that end this weekend, the next event on the calendar.
Paul, a Texas lawmaker, has yet to win a primary or caucus. He claimed credit for a strong second-place finish in Minnesota and said he was optimistic about his chances in Maine.
Romney began the day the leader in the delegate chase, with 101 of the 1,144 needed to capture the nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer in Tampa. Gingrich had 32, Santorum 17 and Paul nine.

I have a Rails site, and I would like to install Wordpress inside the /public directory.
I did this, and it works fine, except when I click on an article, it 404s. See http://aromapersona.com/blog/.
How do I keep it from 404ing? I'm assuming I have to add a route.
I'm using Apache and Passenger.

Local writer's unusual love story with refined gentleman

A highly cultured man with a patrician air, he seemed to be a character out of "Downton Abbey" with his elegant manners, refined bearing and scholarly knowledge of classical music, theater and the arts.

Stayed for a night during the June rainy season period and i must say i really enjoyed staying in Hotel Sunshine! Loved their tea room in their lobby area though i didn't actually get to try their food there. The whole decoration of the hotel is splendid! With very chinese types of furniture right in front of our rooms as well as in our room. The whole room itself is spacious, with a huge bed. The best part is that they provided 5 pillows for each bed! What not to love about this?! Their rooms are also very high tech with touch screen light switches.
The downside is that our bathroom's drainage was clogged and the bathroom was flooded when my mommy was bathing! Fortunately, we called for housekeeping and their staff came promptly after a while to clear the drainage of clogged hair. I am impressed with the staff who came as she was wearing office uniform (which i doubt she is a housekeeping staff) and she actually went down hands on to dig for the clogged hair.
Nothing not to love about this hotel though there was a slight hiccup.

From Our Editors
The newly remodeled Capital Nails boasts a cozy, softly lit interior lined with six spa pedicure chairs and elegant light fixtures. Perhaps the most notable features, however, are the arched doorways, which the studio's technicians use as points of reference as they shape nails into perfect parabolas during manicures and pedicures. Once they have filed nails, trimmed cuticles, conditioned skin, the technicians brush on chip-resistant coats of Shellac, OPI, or Gelish polish that have been known to last for more than two weeks, or the equivalent of one full night of relentlessly clawing at the walls of a dungeon, followed by a hand massage. Along with nailcare, the staff offers eyelash extensions, permanent-makeup applications, and waxing services.
