The second you walk into Mike Isabella's highly anticipated new restaurant, Bandolero, smack in the middle of M Street in Georgetown, one thing is clear- this is not your Grandma's favorite Mexican joint. Isabella always said that the brightly colored, cheery notes of usual Mexican eateries is, well, just not his thing. Instead, you get a darker, more rock'n'roll, Day-of-the-Dead vibe within seconds of passing the black awning outside.
All adding to the vibe in the 180 seating, 2 level space: re-purposed cemetery gates as informal divides between eating areas, a warm glow provided mostly by salvaged lighting on the exposed brick walls, mismatched seats and napkins purposefully chosen to take away from the cookie-cutter vibe Mexican restaurants often fall trap to, and, perhaps most notably-a vast selection of animal skulls which will be placed strategically on the walls of the restaurant in lieu of art.
As you take in the two prime communal tables (one on each floor), a long bar (which will be open late with salsas and taquitos on the menu) and the big, sink-into-them leather couches instead of traditional banquettes-the message is clear: this is the kind of Mexican place where it is ok to order not one, not two, but three or four cocktails with your drink.
Much like with his fabulously popular first outpost Graffiato, Mike Isabella went with his gut here: a place where he would like to hang out with his friends, drinks he likes to drink, food he likes to eat.
The service, which officially starts this Thursday, is going to be initially dinner based (similar hours to Graffiato-Sunday to Tuesday 4pm-10pm, Wednesday-Thursday 4pm-11pm with bar menu till midnight, and Friday-Saturday 4pm-midnight with bar menu till 2am) with imminent expansion into brunch and lunch pending as the kitchen settles into it's groove.
The menu, on which Isabella worked on with his new chef-de-cuisine Tony Starr (also previously of Zaytinya), which we had a chance to preview in February, features plenty of classic dishes people look for in Mexican eateries but also a few decidedly on-trend 2012 items which are bound to go well down with the DC crowd: suckling pig tacos, Pozole Verde salad (with pork belly and soft egg on top), a number of vegetarian options (from wild mushroom tacos and crispy yucca tacos to enchiladas verdes) and those blue crab taquitos we got a chance to try during the "BACK TO SCHOOL" benefit which, in and of themselves, would be worth a late night visit to the bar.
The bar operation is manned by Sam Babcock, another one of Isabella's previous collaborators at Graffiato (whom you also may remember from behind the bar @ Cafe Atlantico) and the cocktail menu is, shall we say, sturdy at first look: 10 Mexican inspired drinks (heavy on the mezcals and reposados and anejo tequilas), 8 different margaritas (including a blood orange one and a nice TIKI offering for the summer) and 9 more non tequila/mezcal based drinks with classics such as Aviation finding place to rye, pisco and gin drinks.
The bar, in general is full, and we did notice (and remember from his "What's in your fridge?" story) Isabella's favorite Basil Hayden's on the shelves too. If you're going to spend all your waking and non waking hours here-you better be prepared. Frankly-Thursday can't be here soon enough.

for first impressions. When peploe walk in they first eat with their other senses before tasting the food. As a cook I always believe what'll keep peploe coming back is the food. However, I guess nowadays (especially in Georgetown and from a Top Chef) they demand both. Yeah let me know what you think after you go! Thanks for commenting!
Awwww she is sooo beautiful Tanya!! I can't beielve how big she is!! I miss you guys so much and can't wait to see you again in a few weeks. Tell Bella she can't grow anymore in the next few weeks..lol I have already told Josiah the same:)p.s. We put a link on our website to youtube to a video clip of Josiah check it out if you get a chance.Love you!!
WoW! I've missed alot while on our mini-vacation!! Congratulations again! You did such an aomewse job with no drugs!!! She is just as beautiful as her big sister! I saw your new SuperTarget being built when we passed you! It must be AWFUL to be so far from one! Thankfully, we have TWO! 🙂 Get some rest! xo
As far as sending mail goes it helps if you know a bit about your pen pals. I like to learn thnigs that my pen pals collect and from there always keep an eye out. For example, my one pen pal loves chunky, loud rings. So whenever I go to a thrift store or a clearance bin I look for her.I know that postcards can start to get a little mundane after a while. But random envies are usually my favorite thing to put together. I love putting stickers and seals, smaller envelopes, confetti, note cards, stationery, stamps (canceled or new), craft supplies, those free ad cards (which people from other countries really love!) that you get from various shows, concerts, fairs, etc., paper, dried flowers, flat candy (like pop rocks), playing cards, etc. in them. I have only a few pen pals that are in other countries (Brazil, South Africa) but they love getting these thnigs.Talk to your friends! Maybe they can give you some input about what to send them in the mail or what they aren't able to receive in their country!
This restaurant surely stands out! Will visit someday.
Is it ? I love Mark Harris' work, too—the detail in his illustrations is amazing. Very cool that he's involved with Bandolero—looking forward to checking the place out!
The art on the walls is by mark Harris. I love his work! Excited to see it in person and try some new food
What? No happy hour menu?
also-menu is live linked on the word MENU in the story, an easy click through for anyone interested
Here's a thought: how about opening a restaurant that isn't a play off someone else's concept idea? Just saying.
It looks amazing! Already made my reservation
Will Bandolero have a "small plates" thematic such as Graffiato has?
And have you tried the bar menu? What does it offer?
I call bullshit on the "Kobe" beef on the menu, but I guess you've gotta have a way to fleece tourists in that neighborhood.
Is this really work by Mark Harris? I love his work, too—the details in his drawings are amazing. Looking forward to checking Bandolero out!

Gamescom 2014: Our Top 10 Games of the Show
Written Monday, August 18, 2014 By Richard Walker and Lee Abrahams
Gamescom always seems to be E3's naughty little brother, offering many of the same attributes but with just enough subtle differences to make it stand on its own. This year was no different with a bevy of games that we had seen already at E3 supplemented by a few genuine novelties and curios.
Despite lacking a deluge of new IPs and ideas there was still plenty to whet the appetite for the upcoming months, and well into next year, as a plethora of big hitting games finally make their way to the newest generation of consoles after a fairly barren few months. We discounted games that were almost upon us (namely Destiny, which admittedly looks superb) and repeat demos from E3 (like The Witcher 3, which also still looks outstanding), focusing on titles that were a bit further down the line.
Without the presence of Webb heckling us from afar and telling us how rubbish our opinions were, Rich and Lee were able to sit down, have a brew (for him) and hammer out our top ten titles that will tease, tantalise and generally take your fancy. Plus, we barely hurt each other at all while doing so.
10. Dead Island 2
It's still early days for Dead Island 2, with Yager's latest build of the game still in pre-alpha. Yes, there are a few bugs we encountered while we played, but at this stage, it's to be expected. What's important is that the game is bearing up well at this relatively early point in development, offering the same brand of zombie mashing combat from the original games.
Dead Island 2's mechanics are more robust, and the real-world setting of California makes the game something more relatable and grounded in reality. And with support for 1-8 players and a new cast of characters, Yager's first crack at the series looks to be on the right track.
9. Dying Light
Last year, Dying Light inhabited this very same spot in our Gamescom top 10. It was the second time we'd seen the game in action, but this year, we finally got to play Techland's spiritual successor to Dead Island. Where Yager is now custodian of that particular franchise, Techland is striking out in another direction, incorporating parkour and a far more aggressive class of zombie.
The result is one of the most intense first-person experiences we've ever played, with the advent of nightfall being something truly terrifying. Cast aside memories of Dead Island's glitch-riddled island of Banoi; Dying Light is shaping up to be a far slicker and tighter zombie head-smashing affair, and we can't wait to get stuck in.
8. Forza Horizon 2
Where Forza Motorsport 5 dazzled with its oh-so shiny visuals, Forza Horizon 2 is breaking down the crash barriers and tyre walls to offer total freedom, as well as a much-vaunted dynamic weather system and day/night cycle for the first time in the series.
It's a slice of unfettered open-world arcade racing that Forza Horizon 2 promises, backed up by a legacy that extends to seminal Xbox classic Project Gotham Racing, and it looks every bit as glorious as you'd hope.
With an emphasis on a seamless, connected social experience, Forza Horizon 2 also has its own take on PGR's Kudos system and the beautiful climes of Southern Europe to explore alone or with friends. Without a shadow of a doubt, Forza Horizon 2 is our most anticipated racing game this year.
7. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
We admit we were initially rather sceptical about Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Upon its announcement, comparisons were drawn with Assassin's Creed's animations, and the past history of Tolkien-based video games has been patchy at best. Knives were out, and we were ready to sharpen them up.
And yet, Monolith has managed to demonstrate something that could be one of the most intriguing elements we've seen in an action game for some time in the form of the Nemesis System. Generating enemies randomly, no two games will be the same and Talion's run ins with each Orc will stick in their memory should they successfully flee.
Add to this Talion's Wraith powers thanks to his bond with elven spirit Celebrimbor, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor could be a far more ambitious open-world action title than we'd ever anticipated.
6. Batman: Arkham Knight
Getting the chance to go hands-on with what we saw at E3, it's heartening to see Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy closer in such fine, fighting shape. Up-close, The Dark Knight has never looked better, with Gotham and the Bat himself drenched in rich detail that demands to be ogled.
With the Batmobile and Batman's freeflow combat, gadgets and other wonderful toys working in concert, Arkham Knight promises skull-cracking and puzzles aplenty as you strive to uncover the identity of the mysterious, eponymous antagonist himself.
Batman: Arkham Knight looks poised to be the explosive end to Rocksteady's tenure with the series that we've all been holding our collective breath for. February 2015 seems like a lifetime away. Arkham Knight can't come soon enough.
5. Assassin's Creed Unity
Controversy about the lack of female protagonists be damned, Assassin's Creed Unity is looking like it could be the shot in the arm we've been wanting for the franchise. Putting co-op gameplay front and centre, Arno's journey through French Revolution Paris in turmoil is full of potential.
Our hands-on session with the game proved that Ubisoft isn't resting on its laurels for Assassin's Creed's new-gen debut, boasting immersive locations bristling with activity and incidental details, and shaken-up free-running gameplay and combat systems.
It's refreshing to play an Assassin's Creed game that actually feels different from the deluge of previous titles, and we're desperate to play more of Arno's French Revolution.
4. Life is Strange
Episodic adventure games are fast becoming the cool new thing, helped in no small part by Telltale Games and The Walking Dead. Life is Strange, from Remember Me developer Dontnod Entertainment, could be the game to top even their best efforts.
A nostalgic trip into life at school, old friends, new friends, adolescent angst and growing pains, all wrapped inside a missing person's case and supplemented by time altering powers this game seems to be trying to do too much.
But it looks like it might just work, and work beautifully to boot. The beautiful, hazy visuals evoke your best teenage memories and it's hard not to identify with some of the personal issues the characters encounter, with a wonderfully evocative soundtrack to drift away on as you play, this could well be the next cast iron digital hit. More please!
3. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Stunning visuals, a vast open world, exploration and the best stealth action around all combine to make for what could be the best Metal Gear game yet. Of course, you can expect a few ideas from left field too.
Want to distract a guard with a sexy box? Abduct a goat? Kidnap another player's guards online? Go for it. Of course you can still expect a convoluted plot taking in an array of villains and diverse locales, all set in a landscape packed with hidden secrets.
The Phantom Pain promises to be a very different type of Metal Gear while still retaining the elegance and quirky humour that has made the series what it is. We can't wait.
2. Evolve
Following on from Left 4 Dead - one of the best co-op games of recent times - was always going to be a tall order, but the folks at Turtle Rock Studio seem to have come up trumps.
Evolve sees you take on the role of a disparate team of hunters as they attempt to track down an ever evolving prey. The trick being that your opponent is controlled by another player, and will require clever management of all of your skills to take down.
Embracing wonderful environments, clever design and pitch perfect abilities Evolve promises to test your skills to the limit, no matter if you're the hunter or the hunted. Release the Kraken!
1. Quantum Break
Remedy is a developer known for attempting to push at the boundaries of what's possible in video games, and Quantum Break won't be the first time the Finnish studio has blended live-action sequences with in-game action. Alan Wake was but a dry run for the ambition on show in Remedy's time-bending third-person shooter, however, which takes the concept of an episodic transmedia IP and promises to run with it to a whole new level.
While the gameplay sections will explore the journey of protagonists Jack Joyce, Beth Wilder and Paul Serene, as they master their burgeoning time manipulating powers, the live-action episodes will depict the machinations of the nefarious Monarch Solutions, whose experiments in time travel have caused time to break down.
As both an idea and a gameplay device, Quantum Break's notion of broken time, momentary stutters in the fabric of time itself and the implications that these phenomena will have in what could have otherwise been a conventional cover shooter, make Remedy's latest shooter a tantalising prospect.
Stay tuned to XBA for all the previews, impressions and interviews from this year's Gamescom line-up. There's a ton of good stuff coming your way, folks!

There's that thing about the picture and the thousand words (supposedly equitable, a debatable point, but let's not get stalled out here), yet at the same time a killer song can evoke at least an equal number of images, visual or otherwise. Ella Fitzgerald tended to make whatever she was singing sound like the greatest song ever, by virtue of her astonishing tone, delivery, craft, and a set of pipes that were the result of holding a long-odds ticket in the genetic lottery. Tina Fabrique portrays the First Lady of Song at the Guthrie with soulful elegance, along the way lending us a knowing look at a person more comfortable on stage than in daily life, as much in love with her voice as any of us, and knowing damn well that a sharpshooter vocal line can express as much as a decade of sweet nothings. The second half is formatted as entirely live performance, which feels just right. Fabrique and her taut backing band let it rip, and it sounds phenomenal. (photo by Ed Krieger)

Thanx in advance.
I am trying to use jquery in my wordpress theme but it is not working.
Similar data written in an html file works but for the wordpress that thing is not working.
Please help me out.
Thanx in advance.
From WP2.5 (i think) jQuery it's included, u have some ways to call and inject jQuery in your theme:
Directly or using the WordPress functions (recommended).
1. Directly, it's the same way wich u has mentioned (<script src="...).
2. Using wordpress, more elegant:
See wp_enqueue_script() and wp_register_script().
I hope this will be useful. ;)
and rather than the shortcut $ you should use jQuery("#foo")
Can't get jQuery localScroll to work (so there is an animation between local anchor links on the same page):
<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'scrollTo', 'wp-content/themes/abletonartists/js/jquery.scrollTo-min.js', array( 'jquery' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_enqueue_script( 'localScroll', 'wp-content/themes/abletonartists/js/jquery.localscroll-min.js', array( 'jquery' ) ); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
@Doodlebug - any error messages from Firebug?
I've since done it direct like this and it works...
<script src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/js/jquery-1.2.6.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I know this isn't the right way to do it - how can I use the in-built jQuery properly? All the documentation/writings concentrate on the perspective of plugin writers, not theme authors!
Your enqueue bits are fine, but make sure those calls happen BEFORE the wp_head action. This can be in a plugin or anywhere else. For a theme, puitting them in functions.php would work fine if you put them in a function hooked to the template_redirect action (to prevent them from also enqueuing in the admin screens).
function my_theme_enqueue() {
... etc, all your enqueues go here ...
Your actual script output would need to be elsewhere. In the relevant template, I expect.

Hi everyone,
Been a long time since I've been on here! Unfortunately I now require someone's knowledge...
There is a website I am running on WordPress for a client, and part of the site requires news articles to be posted - therefore I have adapted the Post section of the wordpress admin for news articles by adding a meta box with extra options. However, should the client need to alter the title of the article for any reason, the permalinks do not update as the title is changed - I wondered if this is normal?
For example:
News article is created with title: "This is a news article". My permalink structure would create "this-is-a-news-article.html".
Client comes back and changes title to "This is an edited news article". However, the permalink remains as "this-is-a-news-article.html" when I would need to to change to "this-is-an-edited-news-article.html" in order for the links to work correctly on the front end.
Anyone have any ideas or is there no way to do this without a plugin?

We aren't exactly rich this Christmas.... I'm not working, we just moved and incurred a few extra bills, my fiancee's birthday is the 21st so he has to do the license/registration/plates/etc stuff right before Christmas.... Plus putting our families together gives us approximately a hundred kids to buy for, and it's not adding up. Instead of extra presents, we're going to give the kids coupon books to redeem throughout the year. We're going to do 12 "free" coupons, like chore-free day or late bedtime, whatever, and then 12 that cost money. I've come up with a few, like going out to eat or getting a new outfit, but I'm stuck.
Any suggestions?

The present invention relates to pull-type golf carts of the type used to carry a golf bag, together with clubs and related accessories. In particular, it relates to a motorized conversion system for making such pull-type golf carts self-propelled.
Pull-type golf carts are lightweight, two-wheeled carriages for holding and supporting a golf bag. Such carts have a handle at the forward end which is grasped by the user and pulled in a trailing manner. Most of the weight of the golf bag and clubs is supported by the cart wheels, which are mounted on opposite sides of a bag-carrying frame. When the cart is stopped, it is tilted upwardly and the base of the frame supporting the golf bag is set on the ground behind the wheels, forming a three point stand. Most golf carts are made of tubular steel or aluminum frame members. Portable carts, intended for easy transport, usually include some type of mechanism for collapsing the wheels and handle against the bag support frame to allow the cart to fit in the trunk of a car.
Several prior art systems have been developed for motorizing pull-type golf carts. Examples of systems which add a motor unit to a conventional golf cart are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,719,247; 3,753,473; 3,941,198; 4,105,084; and 4,615,406. Examples of systems developed as dedicated motorized carts (i.e., not intended to be pulled by hand) are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. Des. 300,577 and 4,974,693.
One problem with the prior art systems for adding a motor to conventional pull-type golf carts is the complex and cumbersome procedures required to connect and disconnect the motorizing unit. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,719,247, the power unit is suspended between the cart wheels and separate drive shafts must be connected to each of the cart wheels. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,753,473 and 3,941,198 include multiple points of attachment between the add-on power unit and the cart, complicating attachment and detachment procedures. Prior art conversion systems also tend to be excessively heavy, incorporating pivoting or steerable drive wheels, as in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,941,198 and 4,615,406, which add weight and complexity. Furthermore, most prior art add-on motorizing units interfere with the collapsibility of the cart and must be removed before the cart can be collapsed for transport and storage. Dedicated motorized golf bag carts tend to be even heavier and more cumbersome to dismantle and transport than carts with add-on motorizing units.
Since a golfer who owns a pull-type or motorized golf bag cart, and who plays at more than single golf course, will want to transport the cart from place to place, ease of transport is a important concern. It would be advantageous to have a power unit which can be quickly and easily added to a pull-type golf cart for motorizing the cart and which can also be collapsed against the cart for convenient transport.
It would be particularly advantageous to have a power unit for motorizing a pull-type golf cart which did not have to be removed each time the cart was collapsed for transport.
It would also be advantageous if such a power unit for motorizing a pull-type golf cart was relatively lightweight and simple to manufacture, install and use.
Accordingly, the invention provides a power unit for attachment to a non-motorized golf cart of the type having a pair of cart wheels, a handle for moving and steering the cart, and a bag support frame for holding a golf bag. The power unit comprises a leg for attachment to the bag support frame of the cart, and a releasable coupling for securing the leg to the bag support frame in a selection of orientations relative to the bag support frame. An electric motor and drive wheel assembly is supported on the leg. The drive wheel assembly includes a rotatable axle driven by the motor, and a pair of drive wheels attached to the axle. A battery support is attached to the leg for supporting a battery to energize the motor. And a motor controller is connected electrically to the motor and connectable to a battery for controlling the motor.
In its preferred form, the invention includes a single leg attached to the upper end of the golf cart frame, adjacent the point where the handle of the cart attaches to the frame. When the power unit is in its operable or "working" configuration (i.e., not collapsed), the leg extends downwardly at a large acute or perpendicular angle relative to the frame of the cart. The drive wheels mounted on the distil end of the leg, opposite the end attached to the golf cart frame, support the upper, front end of the cart and engage the ground to push or pull the cart along as the motor turns. The motor controller is affixed to the golf cart handle at a convenient location, providing selectable on/off, speed, and directional (i.e., forward/reverse) control. For transport, the releasable coupling between the leg and cart is loosened and the le is folded toward the frame into its collapsed configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the power unit is moved to a position against or adjacent the frame of the golf cart, in which the leg assumes a smaller acute or zero angle relative to the frame. In its collapsed configuration, the motor, wheels and other parts of the power unit are positioned close to the frame of the cart, with the power unit drive wheels nested between the cart wheels. The power unit need not be detached for transport, although the battery on the battery support is preferably removed. The unit does not appreciably interfere with the collapsibility of the cart wheels of a conventional, collapsible golf cart.

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional pull-type, non-motorized golf cart 10 is shown with the power unit 12 of the present invention added to the cart. The term golf cart, when used herein, refers to a bag-carrying cart, whether motorized or not, and not to other, larger types of golf carts designed to carry both persons and golf bags. Golf cart 10 includes a bag support frame 14 having a centrally-disposed, tubular central member 15 which extends longitudinally parallel with a golf bag 16 supported on the cart. Central member 15 is angled upwardly in toward the front of cart 10, which is the direction of arrow 17 in FIG. 1 and to the left in FIG. 2. Frame 14 has a lower end 20, also called the first end 20, which is at the rear of the cart, where the frame and attached golf bag are near the ground. Attached to first end 20 of central member 15 is a bag support plate 22 against which the bottom 24 (see FIG. 2) of golf bag 16 rests. A curved bracket 28 serves as a strap holder for a lower strap 29 (see FIG. 2) used to encircle the bottom of the golf bag to hold the bag on the cart. At the upper or forward end 30 of the central member 15 of frame 14, also called the second end, is a second bracket 32 for holding a strap 33 which encircles the upper end of bag 16.
A handle 40 for moving and steering the cart is attached to central member 15 of frame 14 adjacent second end 30. On most collapsible carts, handle 40 is attached to the frame by means of a resetable, releasable coupling 42 which allows the handle to be pivoted relative to frame 14 and allows the handle to be set in selected orientations relative to cart frame 14. Coupling 42 includes a threaded set-screw or bolt with a wing-nut or knob 43 which is tightened to draw together adjacent halves of the coupling to fix the relative orientations of the coupling elements which encircle the bolt. When the bolt is released by loosening knob 43, the handle can be moved between its extended position, shown in FIG. 1, and a collapsed position, wherein the handle is folded downwardly.
Cart wheels 50 are attached to frame 14 by a pair of angled struts 52, also called wheel-support members. Struts 52 are attached to central member 15 of frame 14 at a point on the frame, centrally disposed between the first and second ends 20, 30, respectively. An attaching yoke 54 clamped onto central member 15 connects wheel struts 52 to frame 14. The wheel struts 52 include pivots 56 adjacent the clamping yoke 5 to allow the struts to pivot. A locking and releasing mechanism is incorporated into wheel-strut pivots 56, permitting the wheels 50 to be locked in either the extended, operable position, shown in FIG. 1, or the collapsed position, shown in FIG. 6. When the struts are in the operable position, the wheels 50 are spaced apart, away from frame 14, on opposite sides of central member 15. When the struts 52 are folded against frame 14, the wheels are drawn closer to central member 15, making the cart less bulky and allowing for easier transport and storage. Suitable detents or other devices (not shown) are customarily incorporated into the wheel strut pivot mechanisms 56 to allow the wheels to be locked in either the extended or collapsed positions. On some carts, wheel struts 52 incorporate a parallel-bar linkage (not shown) to maintain the mutual parallel orientation of wheels 52, when collapsed (as illustrated in FIG. 6).
The foregoing has been a description of a conventional, prior art pull-type golf cart. What follows is a description of the add-on power unit of the present invention for converting cart 10 into a motorized golf cart in accordance with the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the power unit 12 of the present invention is positioned below the central member 15 of cart frame 14, forward of cart wheels 50. The power unit 12 includes a leg 60 for attachment to bag support frame 14. Leg 60 is a generally straight, unitary, tubular shaft which attaches to the central member 15 of frame 14 by means of a releasable coupling 62.
Coupling 62 is preferably a multidirectional hinge device which allows leg 60 to be secured to the golf cart in a selectable orientation relative to the bag support frame. A preferred type of coupling which is suitable for this purpose is handle coupling 42, previously described, used to secure handle 40 to cart frame 14. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, coupling 62 is preferably a hinge joint having two adjacent, generally circular, projecting members 65, 68, which are rotatable relative to one another. One projecting member 65 is affixed to frame 14 on cart 10 and the other projecting member 68 is affixed to a first end 64 (the upper end) of leg 60. Projecting member 65 is clamped onto central member 15 of frame 14, adjacent second end 30 and adjacent the attachment point for handle 40, by means of a tubular encircling clamp 69 of any conventional type. A pair of bolts 71 (one of which is shown in FIG. 2) may conveniently be employed to attach clamp 69 to central frame member 15. The adjacent circular projecting members 65, 68 of hinge coupling 62 are positioned side-by-side, with mutually-engaging, facing surfaces 70, 72, respectively. An opening extends through the center of both projecting members for receiving a bolt or other threaded fastener. Preferably a bolt 73 is permanently mounted on projecting member 68. The shank of bolt 73 extends through member 68 and its threaded end 75 projects outwardly from surface 72 of member 68. Alternatively, shank 75 can be a stud projecting from face 72 of member 65. A cooperating opening (not shown) is centrally disposed through projecting member 65. When projecting member 65 is positioned adjacent projecting member 68, the threaded end 75 of bolt 73 is passed through the opening in projecting member 65. The threaded end 75 of bolt 73 serves as a pivot axis around which the projecting members 65, 68 are respectively turned to form a hinge joint.
To clamp or squeeze members 65, 68 together, a wing nut or threaded knob 74 is installed over the threaded end 75 of bolt 73 and tightened. When knob 74 is tightened, the relative orientations of projecting members 65 and 68 are fixed, as are the relative orientations of leg 60 and cart frame 14, to which the projecting members are attached. Facing surfaces 70, 72, on projecting members 65, 68 preferably incorporate texturing or ridges to inhibit rotational slippage between the two halves of the coupling, once knob 74 has been tightened on bolt 73. Leg 60 can be moved to any desired position or angular orientation with respect to cart frame 14 by loosening knob 74, repositioning leg 60 and retightening knob 74. If knob 74 is removed from bolt 73, the leg can be separated from the cart by separating the two halves of coupling 62. Releasable coupling 62 allows leg 60 to be secured to cart frame 14 in a selected orientation and allows the user to change the orientation as needed or desired.
An electric motor and drive wheel assembly 80 is attached to and supported on leg 60, at or near the lower or second end 81 of the leg. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the motor and drive wheel assembly 80 is a combination motor/worm gear/right-angle transmission, termed a motor assembly 83, which is generally manufactured and sold as a unit. The preferred motor used in assembly 83 is a 12-volt DC reversible motor. The output shaft of the motor (not shown) extends generally parallel to leg 60. A worm gear transmission 84 drives a transverse output shaft 86 extending outwardly from both sides of transmission housing 88. Output shaft 86 forms the axle on which a pair of drive wheels 90, 92 are mounted. The drive wheels are mounted to turn with shaft 86. One type of motor and transmission assembly suitable for use in the power unit of the present invention is a wheelchair-drive motor, modified for 12-volt operation. An example of such a motor assembly is a Model M-4100G-14, manufactured by Rae Corporation of McHenry, Ill. The preferred specifications for the motor assembly is as follows: maximum output speed (for axle 86)=132 r.p.m.; maximum torque=40-in.-lbs.; shaft diameter=1/2-inch; and voltage=12-volts D/C. Drive wheels 90, 92 are preferably 9-inch wheels of the same kind and size as cart wheels 50 on golf cart 10. The overall length of drive shaft axle 86, from wheel 90 to wheel 92, is between 8- and 10-inches.
A battery support 98 is attached to leg 60 for carrying a conventional rechargeable storage battery. Battery support 98 is in the form of a hinged support plate mounted above drive motor 82. Battery support plate 98 is preferably attached to leg 60 by means of a hinge 100, which allows support plate 98 to be pivoted upwardly against leg 60 in the direction of arrow 102 (see FIG. 2) when the battery is removed. Support plate 98 preferably includes upwardly-extending side walls 104 surrounding the bottom of the plate, producing a shallow pan enclosure which helps to retain a battery 106 on plate 98. Battery 106 is a conventional 12-volt rechargeable automotive or wheelchair-type battery and is preferably enclosed within a plastic housing 108. The housing is useful for covering and enclosing the battery terminals 110, 112 and helps contain any battery fluid which might escape from the battery during use. Preferably, either the battery or battery case is provided with a carrying handle 114 (shown in cross-section in FIG. 6) to facilitate lifting the battery off support plate 98 for transport, storage and recharging.
Control circuitry and the wiring harness for the power unit of the present invention are illustrated schematically in FIGS. 4 and 5. Motor 82 receives power from battery 106 through a motor controller 120, housed in a control box mounted on cart handle 40. The circuit diagram of FIG. 4 illustrates schematically the internal elements of control box 120, including an on/off switch 122, speed controller 124 and forward/reverse switch 126. Speed controller 124 is shown as a variable resistance element, although it is within the scope of the present invention to use a different type of speed controller. One such alternative type of speed controller uses a D/C chopper, together with a pulse width modulator, to control motor speed by rapidly switching the motor on and off. In such a speed controller (termed a pulse-width-modulator or p.w.m.) the speed of the motor is increased or decreased by enlarging or reducing the percentage of time that power is supplied to the motor. Such p.w.m. controllers are well known in the art and have the advantage of using less power and producing greater motor torque at slow speeds than variable resistance controllers, although p.w.m. controllers are more expensive. The selection of the speed control device used at 124 in control box 120 is a matter of design choice, within the scope of the present invention, and either a variable resistance or p.w.m. controller can be used to control the motor speed in the power unit.
The exterior shape and configuration of control box 120 is shown in FIGS. 1-2 and 5-6. Box 120 includes a speed control knob 130 for setting the speed of motor 82 by selectively adjusting controller 124 (in FIG. 5). On/off switch 122 is preferably a see-saw switch mounted on the side of control box 120. Forward/reverse switch 126 is preferably another see-saw switch used to select the direction of travel of motor 82. Some users of the power unit of the present invention may prefer to walk in front of the golf cart while others may prefer to follow the cart as it moves ahead of the user. Switch 126 allows the power unit to be operated in either direction.
The rest of the wiring harness for power unit 12 is shown in FIG. 5, with the rest of the motorized cart removed for clarity. A four-lead wire 133 extends from controller 120 along handle 40 to battery 106 and motor 82. A four-prong coupling plug 132 allows convenient separation of the handle end of cable 133 from the rest of the wiring harness. The connections contained in plug 132 are depicted schematically in FIG. 4. Connections are made to the positive and negative terminals on battery 106 using a pair of conventional jaw-type spring connector clips 134, 136 (see FIG. 5). Two motor connection leads 137 extend to motor 82 (see FIGS. 4 and 5). Connector 132 provides a simple means of disconnecting the control box 120 from the rest of the wiring harness, allowing the user to easily remove the cart handle from the cart.
The power unit of the present invention can be conveniently collapsed against cart 10 for transport and storage. The power unit and cart are shown in their "working" or operating configurations in FIGS. 1 and 2. In the operating configuration, handle 40 is extended outwardly from frame 14 and wheels 50 are spread apart from each other. The support leg 60 of power unit 12 is oriented at a large acute angle, or perpendicular, to control member 15 of cart frame 14. What is meant by a large acute angle is an angular displacement between leg 60 and central member 15 of the golf cart (indicated at 141 in FIG. 2) which is generally in the range of 60�.90�. On most conventional carts to which power unit 12 is attached, that angular relationship tilts the cart forward enough to rest some of the weight of the cart on drive wheels 90, 92, providing an appropriate center of gravity for motorized operation of the cart.
To collapse power unit 12 and cart 10, in the manner shown in FIG. 6, battery 106 is removed from the power unit, preferably together with battery case 108, using lift handle 114. The battery is removed after connector clips 134, 136 have been disconnected from battery terminals 110, 112. Support plate 98 is then tilted upwardly against leg 60 in the direction of arrow 102 (see FIG. 2) to the position shown in FIG. 6. Releasable coupling 62 is then loosened by turning knob 74 and leg 60 is rotated against cart frame 14 until the leg is approximately parallel with central member 15 and angle 141 (FIG. 2) has been reduced to or near 0� or in the range of 20� to 0�. The wheels 90, 92 on the power unit are spaced closer together than wheels 50 on cart 10, even when the wheel struts 56 are moved to the collapsed configuration of FIG. 6. That means the wheels of the power unit will nest between the wheels of the cart, when the cart is collapsed. After the cart wheels have been collapsed, handle 40 is pivoted downwardly over the power unit or, preferably, removed entirely from the cart, as shown in FIG. 6. Removal of the handle is accompanied by separation of the two halves of connector 132 and the loosening and removal of knob 43. Without the battery, the cart and power unit are light enough to be lifted into the trunk of a car, even with a golf bag and clubs attached to the cart. The battery ca be conveniently recharged by any conventional means.
The power unit, when mounted on a collapsible golf cart, provides a motorized cart for carrying a golf bag which is convenient to use and to transport. When the cart is in its "working" or operational configuration (i.e., not collapsed) the cart rests on four wheels, the two drive wheels in front and the two cart wheels in back. Drive wheels 90, 92 power the cart in either the forward or reverse direction, with the cart wheels 50 supporting and stabilizing the cart as it moves over the ground. The motorized golf cart, resulting from a combination of power unit 12 and a conventional golf cart 10, greatly reduces the effort required by a golfer to transport his or her clubs, while permitting the golfer to gain enjoyment and exercise from walking.
The power unit of the present invention can be added to virtually any kind of golf bag cart. Only two elements need to be attached to the cart. One is the releasable coupling device that supports the leg of the power unit, which must be attached to the frame of the cart. The second is the control box 120 which must be attached to the handle. The only wiring which must be added to the cart is the wire 133 extending from control box 120 to connector 132. The remainder of the wiring is supported on power unit 12. The power unit does not need to be removed from the cart for transport or storage. Should the user desire to temporarily remove the power unit and simply pull the golf cart, the two halves of the leg-support coupling 62 can be separated, leaving in place the part 65 attached to the cart frame by bracket clamp 69. Control box 120 can be left on handle 40. Whenever the user desires to resume use of the power unit, it is simply reattached to bracket 69, the halves of the connector plug 132 are reattached, and the cart becomes a motorized cart. The entire installation process takes, at most, a few minutes.
The use and operation of the power unit which provides the motorized golf cart of the present invention is simple and straightforward. It has been the preference of the inventor to operate the cart in a reverse direction, with the cart moving ahead and the user trailing behind grasping the handle to steer. The user simply switches on the on/off switch 122 whenever he or she desires to move the cart ahead, adjusting speed control knob 130 as necessary. Steering is accomplished by guiding the cart with handle 40. The narrow spacing of drive wheels 90, 92 allows the user to easily redirect the cart by simply pushing it or urging it in the desired direction. To stop the cart, the user simply switches on/off switch 122 to the off position.
The power unit of the present invention eliminates much of the complexity and weight of prior art motorizing units for golf carts. The entire drive train and power supply is mounted on a single leg, which can be easily attached and detached from the golf cart. Complex drive trains and pivot systems, which add weight, are eliminated. All parts of the power unit are preferably made of aluminum, to save weight and eliminate rust. That includes leg 60, battery support 98 and hinge 100, as well as releasable coupling 62 and the metal parts of wheels 90, 92. Only the motor assembly 81 is not aluminum and it is enamel-coated to inhibit rust.
The power unit, when added to a golf cart, is easy to assemble, transport and store. The power unit is collapsible with the cart. Except for removal of the battery (and detachment of the cart handle, which is optional) there is no need to dismantle or disconnect any part of the power unit for transport or storage. With the power unit attached to the golf cart, the cart becomes a four-wheeled cart which is stable on relatively level ground. Use of the motorized cart eliminates much of the carrying effort required for golf while permitting the user to exercise by walking with the cart. The power unit is safe and rugged and easily attachable to any conventional type of golf cart. In particular, the adjustability of the angle between leg 60 and cart frame 14 allows the power unit to be attached to virtually any size, type or configuration of golf cart because the power unit can be oriented to whatever position is necessary to support and move the cart. In that way, the power unit of the present invention represents a considerable advance in flexibility and adaptability over prior art golf cart motorizing devices.

Yeah, a worst-to-first story that's been a real head-scratcher.
Hopefully, the (spit) Broncos will continue their first loss with a crash-and-burn story.
Awww, the Denver donkeys were the league doormat for years. KC needed to have their share of teeth-turf for a while. Now they can relish the rarified air on top, as it is always better after you've been down
You need luck to keep your team healthy, amazing levels of hard work, and fine team chemistry. Elway really worked very hard to get the Super Bowl wins. It was nice to get the championship in Denver (I'm a Denver native.:D)

I'm using Restlet as backend trying to create a small web app.
I am allowing users to upload their profile images, but not sure where to store them. Google tells me to store it in the file system and store the image path in DB which make sense.
So should I store them in a public web folder in which the web front end lives? But wouldn't that allow people to access all the profile images very easily?
If i don't store the images in the public web directory, where should I store them and how do I protect them?
My server is Ubuntu server 12.04 thanks in advance
BTW any advice on how should I process the images upon upload? I'm trying to convert all formats to png and resize it

|Food Permits
Food Permits
Who needs a food permit?
If you prepare, hold, transport and/or serve food for pay you are required by state law to have a food permit. Charitable, non-profit organizations and private schools are not required to have a food permit.
How do I get a food permit?
In order to obtain a food permit you must have an approved facility. If this is a new establishment, a plan review is required. To obtain information on plan review you can call the Regional Environmental Office in the county where your facility will be located. The Application for a permit and the plan review packet will be mailed to you. A certified food manager is required in all food facilities. A listing of approved courses is available from the regional environmentalist, or by e-mailing email@example.com. You must have a food permit before you begin operation.
What if I purchase a facility that has a current permit?
If the facility is an existing food facility and you are a new owner, the existing owner's permit is no longer valid. You should contact firstname.lastname@example.com or a regional environmentalist for information on how to obtain a food permit. You will receive an application packet containing the information required for permitting. You must have a food permit before you begin operation.
If you are an existing food facility with a valid food permit, you will have a permit inspection up to 60 days prior to the expiration of you current permit. In order to renew your food permit, you must be in compliance with all items on the inspection report.
How much does a Food Permit cost?
The cost of an annual food permit is determined by the risk level assigned to your facility.
- Risk 1: $30.00
- Risk 2: $100.00
- Risk 3: $150.00
- Risk 4: $200.00
How do I pay my food permit fee?
Food permit fees must be paid online before an inspection will be scheduled. Online payment requires the permit ID number on your invoice. (If you have not received an invoice, call the Division of Food Protection at 601-576-7689).
If I want to cater food, what do I need to do?
Food must be prepared in an approved food facility. A home kitchen is not an approved facility. If you are interested in starting a catering business, you may call the Food Protection Office at 601-576-7689 or email email@example.com.
How often are food facilities inspected?
Food establishments in Mississippi are inspected a minimum of one to four times yearly. The number of times a food facility is inspected is determined by the risk level of the facility. The more likely that a food-borne illness could occur, the higher the risk level of a food facility. We have four risk levels: risk level 1 is the lowest risk and level 4 is the highest. Risk level 1 would be a facility that does not serve any foods that are considered at risk for food-borne illness. Risk level 4 would be a facility that does a large volume of food service and has multiple food processes such as cooking, cooling, reheating and processing. Additional inspections are made on complaints, follow-up inspections, training requests and enforcement actions.
What do inspectors look for when doing an inspection?
Our food protection program approaches the inspection process with two objectives. The first is to identify all risk factors, critical violations or problems that are present at the time of the inspection. Critical violations are problems that consist of practices that could, if not controlled, result in a food-borne illness. If critical violations are found, the environmentalist tries to get immediate corrective action. If that is not possible, then a plan of corrective action is required. The facility is given a specific time to correct the violation. If the violation is not corrected in the specified time, then enforcement action will be taken.
The second objective of the inspection process is to educate the food establishment management and staff on the risk factors, potential problems, and preventive measures that need to be taken to eliminate the violation. Our goal is to get active managerial control of all risk factors in the food establishment. We want to ensure that all managers know what the critical problems are, and how to make sure they don't happen in their facility.
Whom should I call if I think I got sick from food I ate in a restaurant?
If you think you became ill after eating in a food establishment, please email email@example.com or visit HealthyMS.com/food to enter your complaint. All reports of possible food-borne illness are investigated.
How do I make a complaint about a grocery store?
While the Mississippi State Department of Health regulates all food service in Mississippi, the Department of Agriculture and Commerce regulates retail grocery stores. If your complaint is in regard to retail store, contact the Department of Agriculture at 601-359-1148. If the complaint involves the food service or deli in a retail store, email firstname.lastname@example.com or enter the complaint at HealthyMS.com/food.
How do I make a complaint about a problem I saw in a restaurant?
Contact the Regional Environmentalist in your area or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The Health Department will follow-up on all complaints received. We take complaints very seriously. We appreciate the consumer making us aware of any unsafe conditions in the food facilities.

I'm not sure I'm posting in the right forum, so please redirect me I'm wrong (and sorry too ;)).
In my posts, I have standard images tags, specifying the size of the original images (img src= height= width=). I actually imported the posts and images from my own old blog system.
The images are therefore shown in their original size (too big for my theme). I would like to find a way to rewrite all the img tags automatically so that the "Maximum embed size" image is used, instead of the original.
Is such a plugin exists? That would be awesome. I didn't manage to find one.
Thank you!

Read a Rhyme, Write a Rhyme (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Prelutsky has invented a method he calls poemstarts to help children get started in writing poetry. He provides several introductory lines of a simple poem and then offers some open-ended suggestions for its completion. In this thematically organized collection, Prelutsky offers ten poemstarts on different popular themes, complemented by three short poems on the same subject by different authors. . . . Though the volume's intent is as a springboard to writing poetry, the thoughtful selections and So's winning watercolors make this a successful poetry collection even without the writing prompts. " Kirkus Reviews," Starred.
About the Author

Why not? Its a win-win. More will be encouraged to home school and we will reduce class sizes for next to nothing.

If it looks like a voucher, acts like a voucher, then it is a voucher. Good job on the rejection.

The problem I see with the $500 tax credit is that it is not nearly enough. I believe that school districts can achieve significant cost savings by leveraging the time and talents donated by willing parents to educate their children. Parents and children can also benefit by choosing from among numerous educational approaches and curricula to personalize education to the interests and abilities of each child. Unfortunately, $500 is barely enough to pay for a single class from a virtual school, but the district I live in spends more than $12,000/child/year. If parents who opt out of the full-service public school system children could be reimbursed perhaps $5,000/child for verified expenses, many more parents would likely choose this option, and the school district would theoretically save $7,000/child. With $5,000 to work with, parents could purchase curriculm, register their children for private courses or lessons, either virtual or classroom-based, or even pay tuition back to the district to participate in some public school classes or activities. Several California charter schools operate on this precise model, albeit with reimbursement of $1,600. Students in these schools meet with a state-certified teacher once per month to measure educational progress.

Rejecting the bill is sound public policy. It is a contradiction that the legislature is considering ending the tax deduction for large families, but refuses to give tax credit for those not using the public schools.

Looks like someone needs to study "The proper role of government" by
Ezra Taft Benson. or any of the books he tells the saints to read such as the
Law by Batista.
Benson and Young condemned public education and programs like it that give the state power over the children at the experience of the stewardship rights of the parent. and programs that redistribute wealth.
Such language has not been repealed my modern prophets. D&CSection134 helps instruct on what is proper.
The public school system is good in the sense it helps the children of God to become educated. Homeschooling is a much better solution however. Public education schools are a form of socialism. If you think socialism is okay then at least your support of schools is congruent with your belief. Socialism uses the violent force of government to do things other than punish crime, such is an abuse of government power.
