I've been experimenting with Mandrill and very pleased with the ability it gives to avoid the relatively low limits my web host places on outgoing e-mails, so hoping to make good use of it.
One specific query about adding a filter. In Loren's excellent blog 'Own Your WordPress Email with Mandrill' he gives the example of a filter to change the subject of wp_wp_new_user_notification. Previously I have had a custom function adapting the standard wp_new_user_notification as shown in the WordPress Codex, with a much prettier and more informative version of the email that goes out to a new user. This is now not working and the new user notification reverts to the standard WordPress notifications.
Once I try to adapt using a Mandrill payload filter, building on Loren's example, the immediate issue is that there are two parts of this function - a message ($message) that goes to the admins to alert them to the new user, and one (also $message) that goes to the new user, with their username, password, plus the text that I have added. Using the payload filter and adding a custom $message['subject'] or $message['html'] affects BOTH messages, so that they are identical.
I have a function that I wrote to send out mail on publication of a post of a certain category, and that works OK. So in general I think I'll be fine with functions and filters - it's this new user notification that I'm scratching my head about.

Communications and Public Affairs: 207-7234
Published on Friday, August 15, 2014
On Saturday, June 21, 2014 at approximately 11:30 a.m., San Antonio Police Officers responded to a call for a female that appeared to be unconscious behind a business in the 1500 block of Somerset Road. When officers arrived, they found the 21-year-old female deceased. This female was identified as Jessica Diaz-Zatarin who had crossed the U.S.−Mexico border in the company of these human smugglers. These two people are believed to be in and around the Laredo area and make frequent trips to San Antonio driving this truck. The public's assistance in identifying these two persons of interest is being requested by SAPD.
Both persons appear to be Hispanic and the vehicle they are driving is a smoke gray Dodge Ram pickup single cab with a diamond tread tool box in the bed. The tailgate appears to be missing and white paint is seen on the sides of the truck. This vehicle was last seen at the intersection of Somerset and Mayfield traveling southbound towards Military Drive.
Anyone with information is urged to call the SAPD Homicide Office at 210-207-7635.

Monday, September 12, 2011 – Bright Complex – College Station, Texas
How productive was the off week?
"I thought it was pretty productive. Because we played Sunday we gained an extra day on the other side, so I took away one of the days of the bye week that I normally wouldn't have. We practiced Tuesday in pads, Wednesday morning, Wednesday afternoon and we had a situational scrimmage on Thursday. We were able to practice a number of situations last Thursday. Most of our coaches were out recruiting on that day so basically it was myself and Coach DeRutyer. I thought we had a good week. The kids were very engaged. You always worry about them being bored, but they weren't at all. It seemed like they were into it.
Is Tony Jerod-Eddie a guy you're counting on for leadership on defense?
"I thought Tony came out his first year and really had a strong freshman campaign, my first year. I thought he was one of the highlights of our defense. Then his sophomore year, not so much. Last year he made some progress and this year I'm really counting on him to be a staple on our defense, to be our 'enforcer' so to speak, to give us a sense of toughness within that front 7. We have some new people playing there, so he's someone who has played a lot of football for us. I'm really counting on his leadership ability to step forward. I think he's done a really good job of that. He's grown up a lot since he's been here. He has matured and has embraced that responsibility of being a leader on defense. Trent Hunter was voted a captain but Tony easily could have been as well. He has the respect of all his peers and he has taken that and run with it."
Do you have to do anything special to keep the team's attention on Idaho with everything that's ahead?
"No. We really and truly are focused on this ballgame and we'll stay focused on this game. When we go out there and play, I hope we play to the very, very best of our abilities at all times. Our players know well enough from watching college football, that certain things happen on Saturdays, and in the NFL certain things happen on Sundays, that everyone has a chance to win every game. You had better be prepared and ready to go. We will treat this game absolutely no differently than any other game on our schedule, as we should. You watch their tape, their coaching staff has been together there for 5 years. Coach (Robb) Akey has been there for 5 years, Coach (Steve) Axman (offensive coordinator) I've known for years, he's a great coach. Coach Criner, the defensive coordinator, is a great coach. They have good players. They have about 6 kids from Texas. They have a freshman, (NT Karel) Kearney from Austin, who played at Connally, I wish we had him. A kid named (Michael) Cosgrove, another defensive lineman, that's pretty good. (Ryan) Bass, their running back, is a good solid running back. (Brian) Reader, their quarterback, is a good quarterback. So trust me, they have some good players. We better have our chin straps buckled and ready to go against these guys."
You preach from Game 1 to Game 2 there has to be the biggest improvement…have you seen that so far? How important is this stretch?
"I think we'll have a better feel for that when we play the game. We made a lot of mistakes that, from the outside, may have been swept under the carpet simply because we won the game by a fair amount of points. We had two extra points blocked. We didn't get off blocks well in the first half and we didn't tackle well. We had a substitution penalty and points taken off the board in my mind, where we had to kick a field goal instead of scoring a touchdown. There are a lot of things we have to correct from the first ball game to this ball game and we've addressed those. Fortunately, when you win you can be hard on them about those things, as we have been. I am hopeful we do make strides but we won't really know until we play the game."
Is it strange to have the bye week in Week 2?
"It's not that strange, because each year is an entity in itself. Every season people ask me about the schedule, and it is what it is. You just adapt to what you have in front of you. I look at our schedule and I adjust my life to that schedule. I don't worry about things I can't control. If I could draw it up better, I'd like the bye week in the middle, but it wasn't, and that's just the way it is. My life in the NFL I guess has taught me that however your schedule comes out, that's what you do. There's no sense crying about, that's just the way it is. It's the same thing here. This is our bye week, we didn't play this week, and we don't have one the rest of the year. That's our schedule. I adapt myself before the season that that's just the way it is and it's just reality."
Is the play with Stephen Campbell's interception and Terrence Frederick's coverage just a perfect example of fanatical effort?
"I think so. It's a great example of fanatical effort by our team. I wish from a defensive perspective we could have put that in the end zone. That would have been an exclamation point to a great play. It was a great play anyways to get it down where he got it, but I would have loved to see him score on that play. There was a lot of fanatical effort on that play, the rush, the blocking of it and so forth after the catch. But yes, I would say that's a prime example."
Can you give an update on the status of Michael Lamothe and your opinion on how Tommy Dorman played?
"Michael is coming off a concussion, and we go to the Nth degree--as does everyone in this day and age--to make sure he's okay. We will keep him out of contact this week and then evaluate him to the latter part of the week. Mike has been a blessing for us. He gives you everything he has. He's not best athlete on the field but you wouldn't know it, because he goes so hard all the time. He's so intelligent and doesn't make mistakes. I think he's making strides but we'll be very careful this week with him and see where we are on Thursday or Friday. Tommy Dorman stepped in and did a fine job. He made some blocks a couple times where he ended up on the ground, but overall he did a decent job for us."
On the challenges of playing 11 straight games with no break…
"The college schedule to me is like 'that' in comparison what I'm used to. I think physically it will play out. I worry about us physically more than mentally for our players, because we have to have some luck on our side. If you can't go through 12 ball games mentally in college football…I think that's the biggest difference in the National Football League, the mental and physical strain of going through 20-something games, that mental and physical strain is enormous. It's twice college. You ought to be able to get through 12 football games in college and then time off for a bowl game. Now physically, where we are 6 weeks from now I have no idea. In some regards the bye week helped us get some guys ready for this game. Who knows how it's going to play out."
How has the bye week been for Jeff Fuller's health? Is he back healthy?
"I think so. I hope he is. In his mind it's a thing that he just has to get over. He's very cautious with it because the ramifications are he has to sit out some ballgames. So he's been very careful and we've been very careful. It should have helped him. The rest definitely has helped him."
At quarterback, in hindsight, would you liked to have seen Jameill Showers play?
He was scheduled to go in. I think SMU had a little less than 4 minutes left on the clock on their final possession, but they used the entire clock and we didn't get that opportunity. Tom Rossley asked me about that, and we had just put the ball on the ground on an exchange, and I said, 'No, we're rusty. He needs work and we need work. We don't play for 2 weeks. I want these guys to get the work in the game.' Would I have liked him to play? Yes, but I consciously made the decision to leave Ryan in the ball game with an idea that Showers would be able to go in in that last possession, which we didn't end up having. So I misjudged the clock and their time of occupation of the ball."
Talk about Patrick Lewis' progression since he got to A&M and his transition to center…
"Big Pat is a special guy. When he leaves here it will be an emotional day for me. He played for a high school coach in Louisiana who I'm very good friends with. He swore by this guy. Pat played every position on the offensive line in high school and he's beloved over there. He's a legend. He's a smart kid. I wouldn't say he was highly recruited coming out of high school. And we got him, I think he started his fifth game with us and hasn't looked back since. He's made a lot of progress. He's a good student in school and one of our best recruiters. I can't say enough about him. He keeps getting better as a football player. I think moving him to center has been very good for us. Because of his mass, if we're playing a big nose guard, he can handle those guys. He's very powerful. He's made great strides since he's been here. I'd take 12 of those guys if I could find 12 Pat Lewises."
How would you evaluate Caleb Russell's play and will Damontre Moore be back Saturday?
"Damontre will be back this Saturday, as of today. I assume that will be the case. I thought Caleb played a little tentative at times. He didn't cut it loose like he's capable of doing. I think he'll just keep getting better. It was the first time he's started a ball game in his career. He did some good things, but he will just keep getting better and better."
So the addition of Moore will be huge for your depth?
"I think so. We've been relying a lot on these freshmen, Shaun Ward, Brandon Alexander and Tyrell Taylor. So Damontre's experience will help us."
Talk about Brian Reader, the Idaho quarterback, and some of the offensive challenges they will bring…
"They have a good offense. They do a great job. I know the offensive coordinator, Coach Steve Axman. I think he was at UCLA before I got there. He's a renowned offensive coordinator and has had great success in his career. The staff has been together for a while. I think Reader has 6 touchdowns and 1 interception. He makes good decisions and fits their scheme very well. The receiver (Armauni) named Johnson who is a go-to guy for them and has done a real nice job. They do a good job of protecting him with the offensive line. They have a very good running back in (Ryan) Bass, so they can throw it or run it. They have a good scheme."
Talk about Idaho defensively…
"We've been going against a 3-4 front all camp, and a 3-4 versus SMU. This is more a 4-3 scheme. They do play some odd fronts on passing downs. They like to match up with their corners on your receivers and like to bump outside. They will play some zone. They've got a defensive lineman, (Michael) Cosgrove, that's very, very good. They also have the kid (Karel Kearney) from Connally in Austin. They have 6 kids from Texas on their team and all are in some capacity first or second team, that's what it looks like to me. They all contribute. Their defensive coordinator is from Washington State, I remember when he was back there. They will also play some man and do different things. They have a good press package, they'll bring the backers and what not. They'll challenge us."
Is Ryan Epperson still the starting punter?
"Right now I would say he's still our starting punter. We're taking that week to week. We had plans in the other game to punt both guys (Kaser), but Ryan did a good job and we just kept it the way it was. But yes, Ryan is still our starting punter."
You talked about trying to find some possible options at nose guard to build depth. Has anyone emerged during the bye week?
"We moved Ben Compton from third-team center for us. To make a trade like that with the defense they have to assure me he will be somewhere in the mix. We got Compton a lot of work at nose guard this week. He's a 310-pound kid, he can run and he's athletic. He doesn't know the position just yet but this past week was a great time for us to develop him and bring him along. He's definitely going to play this year and we'll get him some work."
Do you have plans for any more true freshmen to get into the game?
"I had a list of the four guys who played last week, and I have a 'B' list of guys that may play this week, but I don't want to say someone will play and then they don't. Compton may be added to that list, and (Drew) Kaser may be added to that list. It's something we really look at. I look at Shep Klinke, and I feel terrible because last year I thought he'd play a lot more than he did. Nate Askew, I thought he'd play a lot more than he did. I played them, and they didn't get the reps in games that I thought they were going to get, so they didn't play a whole lot and they lost that year of eligibility. So we're very, very careful on that."
On the two PATs that were blocked, was that just a case of a freak athlete on defense?
"I tell you what, he did it again this week. That's an amazing thing. I've got to give the kid credit, he has a knack for doing it, but I don't think we were very good at what we were doing either. I don't know if anyone else would have done what he did, his height and length were certainly a challenge. He could have a career…I know they have NFL long snappers, but I've never heard of a guy that all he does is block extra points and field goals. I think it would be a heck of a deal. I would definitely recommend that someone hire him for that, because he definitely has a knack for it."
Is Coryell Judie getting healthier?
"I think so. Coming off shoulder surgery he's just had so much weakness and he hasn't been able to lift a lot of weights. So each week he's just getting stronger and stronger. Each week he's stronger than the last week. As we go I think he'll just get his strength back."
Dustin Harris didn't get to play offense last Saturday…
"He didn't, did he? That may happen at some point this year. It's hard to put him in for a game like that in front of other guys who have been working at that position. This morning in practice he caught a touchdown pass, and we'll keep working with him."
You wanted to be conservative against SMU with their defense, but with what Idaho does will you be able to open it up a little bit?
"We'll see how the game goes. Each game you have certain goals about how you play the game and what you'll attack their defense with. When you start the first ball game you really don't know where you are as a football team. There are certain things you want to emphasize. Turnovers are great equalizer. Those types of things can really kill you. My goal was to have zero turnovers in that ball game and it ended up that way."
Is Saturday a little more important because you start conference play the following week?
"It's important because it's the next ball game. That's just the way I look at it. It's very, very important to me. We won't look it any other way but the next ball game. I don't care who we're playing, we're playing to be very best we can be. It doesn't matter whether it's Oklahoma, Nebraska, Idaho, Texas, SMU, Baylor…you try to be very best you can be every single week. That's your measuring stick."
Were the windy conditions a factor in catching punts last Saturday?
"I don't think that was a factor. It might have been but I don't think it was a major factor. It started the game pretty swirling but then settled down. I don't think it necessarily had an effect on the kicking game way I thought it was going to. It wasn't that brutal. We have to be sure-handed on those."
Will Dustin Harris get his chance at that?
"We work with both of those guys. I want to see a guy that's focused and every punt he catches in practice is a game punt. I want players practicing like they are playing the game. When Tiger Woods goes to the driving range, every shot is him teeing off at The Open. I want our players to have the same analogy. Every punt in practice is to win the game. I need to see guys not nonchalant about it and take it extremely seriously. Because I take it extremely seriously."
ASST. HEAD COACH/DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR TIM DeRUYTER
How did the inside linebackers grade out against SMU?
"They did play a little bit better in the second half, but it's a position in flux right now. Garrick Williams is a returning starter, and we expect him to play better than he did, but he'll start. The other position we have open competition. We'll probably be playing four linebackers at those positions this week and see where we are at right there."
Does it hurt or help to lose Kyle Mangan to offense?
"I don't know that it hurts us except from an experience standpoint. Kyle has played some snaps for us, but offensively they needed an H-back. He's good athlete. He's played fullback before. From an experience standpoint yes (it will hurt), but he hasn't seized that position at linebacker. We're trying to get our best 22 on the field and that's what we'll do."
Is 5 ½ sacks for a 3-4 defense an unusually high number?
"A little bit unusual, yeah. We did some things scheme-wise that accentuated those guys' ability to make plays. But I also think we have a veteran group up front. Eddie Brown had a good game up front. Tony (Jerod-Eddie) played well, he probably should have had 4 sacks. Coach Williams is doing a great job with that front. Those guys have to be bell cows for us up front because we are thin at the linebacker position experience-wise. We have to have our front guys toe the line little more than we'd like them to."
On the looks you'll see out of the Idaho offense and if it's similar to a team you'll see…
"They have more snaps out of 1-back and 1-tight end. They will do a lot of 2-tight end stuff , but they're about 50/50 out of 2 tight ends. There are many more snaps this year out of 1-tight end than last year. They're a traditional west-coast offense, with looks out of multiple groupings. Oklahoma would be someone similar, they do it a little bit. I haven't seen enough of Texas, other than on TV. They'll maybe do some stuff out of 2 tight ends."
Is Idaho a team that can help you prepare for a Big 12 team?
"There are so many different offenses in this league it's hard to say, but anytime you play against a west-coast off that gives you multiple groupings, like our offense, gets you ready for the season. Getting a chance to play against that obviously prepares you for the rest of the year, not a particular team necessarily."
On Idaho's personnel…
"The quarterback did a good job last week. In his first game he played okay, but he really came on in the last game. No. 2 is 6-4 and is a good-looking receiver. He looks like Jeff. He's long. The quarterback likes to find him."
On Caleb Russell being hesitant...
"I think he was a little bit. I don't think he showed what he showed in the spring and the fall. I think the anticipation of the season, and knowing he would start, and wearing #12, maybe that all made him hyperventilate a little bit. With Damontre (Moore) out he probably played a little more snaps than we wanted him to. So I think that will help this week."
Do you guys wish the conference realignment issue would have been settled last week?
"To be honest with you, it really doesn't distract us at all. The players don't talk about it. The coaches don't talk about it, even though it was a topic in the news last week. For our seniors it has absolutely no relevance. They aren't playing next year. For younger guys it doesn't matter this year. We don't have to worry about it for 12 months. It really doesn't matter to us. All we care about is Idaho and where we can go in this season. Also where we can improve from last game because we have a lot of things to improve on."
QB RYAN TANNEHILL (Sr., Big Spring, Texas)
On the Idaho defense…
"I watched a little tape last week, watched their game against Bowling Green. They mix it up a little bit. They play several different coverages and are not afraid to come after you. We're looking forward to some matchups that they're willing to give. They are an aggressive defense, and when a defense is not afraid to come after you it gives you some 1-on-1 matchups. I think we have good receivers. Whenever you have talented receivers like we do, it gives them a chance for some 1-on-1 matchups."
On the possibility of overlooking Idaho…
"We're not overlooking Idaho one bit. They are a good team. They had a tough loss to start the season and came back and got a big win. I think they will come in on a high and expect to upset us. We realize that and we definitely don't want to overlook them. They will give us their best fight and we have to be ready for it."
With conference play looming in Week 3, is there even more of a sense of urgency this week?
"You definitely want to improve each week. Heading into conference play you want to be running at a high level. Our goal is to win the Big 12 and we know we have to be playing well. I thought we got off to a good start last week and we have to continue to build on that this week."
On Coach Sherman praising his performance vs SMU…
"It definitely felt good. He sent me a text after the game. That really meant a lot that he thought I did well. There's definitely stuff I have to work on. I saw things on the tape I wish I'd done better. I have to focus on those things this week."
On the offense running "conservatively" and still scoring 46 points…
"I think that's a testament to the offensive line and the running backs and the fact they established the line of scrimmage early. We were able to run the ball. We definitely established the run first and that opened up the pass for us."
On the fact that there are no more off weeks for the rest of the season…
"It is what it is. It's going to be a long stretch but I think we can use that to our advantage. If we can get on a streak and start winning games it can play to our benefit."
On the games that Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael had against SMU…
"That was really big. We knew thru camp that Cyrus would be Cyrus. We knew he would run hard and play well and he did that. He came in and did a great job for us. We were really excited to get C-Mike back in a game and it was great to see the excitement on his face when he got in the end zone for the first time. It's definitely a blessing to have both those guys back there. It's going to give defenses some trouble."
On all the weapons he can go to as a quarterback…
"It's not a bad situation, I can tell you that much. It's really a blessing. The offensive line is great. The receivers are great. The running backs are great. And that makes my job easy. I can go out there and have fun. I don't have to over-create and make stuff happen that's not there. We can just go out there and make plays."
DL TONY JEROD-EDDIE (Sr., DeSoto, Texas)
On things the defensive front worked on after watching the SMU film…
"Playing on the other side of the ball, changing the line of scrimmage. As everyone knows, we didn't play the run quite as well as we'd have liked to. We worked on fundamentals, hands, eyes and feet, creating a new line of scrimmage and playing in the backfield. (Personally) I didn't play as well as it might have looked. I could have played a lot better."
On the Idaho offense…
"I know they line up in lot of two tight end, two running back looks. We definitely have to stop the run. I'm pretty sure we'll see some of those draws, since we didn't do well against them last week versus SMU. I'm looking forward to the game. I think they will try and test us, and we'll see if we can correct mistakes from last week."
On the added importance of the Idaho game with conference play looming next week…
"Coach Sherman always tells us that great teams make the most improvement from Game 1 to Game 2. He's looking for a lot of improvement and a great game in all facets, offensively, defensively and special teams."
Will you watch the Denver game (and Von Miller) tonight?
"Oh yeah. I sent him a text this morning. I'm looking forward to him playing his first NFL game. I think he'll do pretty well."
On the success of the defensive line, getting 5 ½ sacks in the SMU win…
"We had a lot of help from the secondary. He wanted to throw a lot of balls but he couldn't, because they were in the right spot. He had to hold it longer than he wanted to and we were able to get off of blocks and make plays."
DB TERRENCE FREDERICK (Sr., Katy, Texas)
On keeping focus on Idaho with Oklahoma State looming next week…
"They are our main focus. We will game plan for them. We know they will throw the ball, but we also had a couple of busts in the SMU game where some draws got out of hand. We know they may try that."
On the relationship between the defensive front and the secondary…
"We definitely have a good secondary and a good front. We do our job and they do their job. We made some great plays, but we have to give the credit to them. If they are not getting that push, we are not able to make the plays we make."
On the team's focus in the bye week…
"We didn't work a lot towards Idaho. We mainly fixed our mistakes from the SMU game, got in shells a few times and just banged around with each other just to keep the feel of football."
On the secondary as a group…
"We just compete with each other. We push each other every day in practice. We want to be the best for each other. We have four that start but another six or seven that rotate in. That's good to have at that position. We just feed off each other and enjoy being around each other."
DB TRENT HUNTER (Sr., Katy, Texas)
On the defensive line giving the secondary credit for their sack numbers vs SMU…
"Without a doubt, everything starts up front on both sides of ball. If you don't have a front 7 on defense it doesn't matter what you do in the secondary, you won't be successful. For our guys up front to have the game they did, it makes things so much easier on the secondary. That's what our defense is based on, everyone doing their jobs. They went over the top this week."
On looking at 11 straight weeks of football…
"It's exciting, it really is. It's bittersweet, because right now we're just ready to go. We had a little taste of a game day. For us to barely scratch the surface and then have another off week, that is the bitter part of it. But 11 straight weeks of football…I just can't wait."
On Idaho…
"I haven't really gotten an in-depth look at them. They're not your typical Big 12 offense. They don't spread you out as much. They line up two tight ends sometimes, and they have a pretty good quarterback. Their running back might be the best player from what I've seen so far. They have good skill guys that can make big plays."
Do you think they will come in thinking you guys may be looking ahead?
"I think a lot of teams we play may be like that. The media, you guys, are waiting for the Oklahoma State game, the OU game, and games that are hyped up. I think teams will use that as fuel. We've done a good job staying grounded."

Rebecca C.wrote a review of Scott The Ski on October 29, 2015
The One.
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Given the way the winters have been going recently, unfortunately I didn't have much of a chance to break out the powder boards last season. Instead I clung dearly to my heavy, old, and most favorite Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel something-somethings carving skis, of which I have been loathe to replace- until now. The Ski not only has a shorter name (thank god), but is a great ski for all resort conditions. They are surprisingly playful, responsive, and forgiving, they carve beautifully, and they will still cut through that chopped-up week old powder like it ain't no thang. I channeled Bobbie Burns in the bumps (interpret as you wish), and felt like Hansi Hinterseer schussing and ski twisting down the slopes (if you haven't seen Hansi's Ski Twist video, stop what you're doing right now and google it). If you're looking for a do-it-all front side West Coast ski, this is THE SKI.

To the Editor.—
In reference to the articles in the July 21 issue on conflicts of interest in physicians' referring patients to facilities in which they (the physicians) have investments,1-3 I offer an additional reason why it would be foolish for the government to proscribe all such activity. Physicians who are investors in local diagnostic and treatment facilities can refer not only their paying patients to such facilities but also their charity patients. While some institutionally and privately owned treatment and diagnostic centers might refuse nonpaying patients, the facility in which the physician has an interest is less likely to do so, because the physician as a part owner is in a position to influence the policies of the facility. From a practical and ethical standpoint, the physician is in a stronger position to demand charity care for his patients in a facility in which he shares the losses

He only picked up the oval ball for the first time last summer but American Carlin Isles, already dubbed the "fastest man in world rugby", is one of the players fans most want to watch at the Hong Kong Sevens.
A former US top 40 100-metre sprinter with a personal best time of 10.13 seconds, Isles contacted USA Rugby last year to ask for a game after watching sevens online.
And although he had never played before, he showed such promise that he was given a spot on this season's Sevens World Series team.
In their first match in Hong Kong Friday against a strong and physically dominating Kenyan side, it was Isles who put his team on the scoreboard with a try following a typical lightning break down the right wing.
"I work on my speed a lot and I believe in my speed, so I'm very confident," he told AFP.
"It was very physical -- those guys are very big and I'm probably the smallest out there. But I'm a tenacious person... it's just about getting the technique."
The 23-year-old from Ohio -- who is just 5ft 8in (173cm) and 160 pounds (73kg) -- said he was attracted to rugby by the physical and mental toughness required.
Sevens also offered him the chance to compete at Olympic level -- it will feature for the first time in Rio in 2016 -- after Isles missed out on US team selection for the 100 metres in London.
"I feel at home now with the rugby. It teaches you discipline," he told AFP.
While he says a shot at the Olympics was a factor in his switch, he also wanted to set an example.
"I wanted people to understand that if you put your mind to anything you can do it," he said.
A compilation video entitled "Carlin Isles. Olympic Dream" showing him outsprint opposing players to score tries in this World Series has gone viral on YouTube, with almost three million views since it was posted in December.
But Isles says he wants to be known as a good all-round player.
"I don't want to be a sprinter playing rugby, I want to be a rugby player that's a sprinter," he said.
While the Hong Kong Sevens is known for its party atmosphere, unlike the majority of his fans in the crowd this weekend Isles has never touched alcohol.
"My parents always told me to be different -- I'm not a conformist, I work hard and I'm a dedicated person. All that unnecessary stuff I didn't put on my resume," he said.
Having just lost out to France 21-19 in their first match Saturday, the USA now face the task of beating New Zealand to make it through to the Hong Kong quarter-finals on Sunday.
But whatever happens this tournament, their minds are on 2016.
"The Olympics is always our goal," said Isles. "But for now we're just trying to get better each day."

MADRID (Reuters) - The Spanish stock market regulator said on Tuesday that airline IAG <ICAG.C> <ICAG.MC> had enough bid acceptances to gain control of airline Vueling <VULG.MC>.
IAG, which already owns 45.85 percent of Vueling as well as British Airways and Spanish airline Iberia, last month raised its bid by almost one third after Vueling rejected a previous offer of 7 euros per share.

Loving Frank – Nancy Horan –narrated by Joyce Bean
4 stars
Loving Frank is a detailed historical fiction about the love affair of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. It is Mamah's story of the advent of the affair and its life-changing consequences. Nancy Horan has done a devastating job of portraying Mamah's struggle for self- realization and her grief at the overwhelming consequences of her decisions. It isn't a happy story. The love affair made headline news in a time when divorce was very much a social scandal. Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius, but he was also selfish, self- involved and completely irresponsible in his spending habits. The sad thing about reading this story was that I couldn't even hope for an eventually happy outcome. I knew the history of the tragic ending.
It was, however, a very interesting book. It gave me insight into the "woman" movement in America and Europe. Mamah Borthwick was an extremely educated woman. She spoke 4 or 5 languages and had a master's degree, but as a divorced woman she was unable to earn a living because no one would hire her.
This was another one of those books where I had a hard time reading the book because I just did not like the characters. As a mother, I cannot imagine ever choosing a man over my children. I felt like Mamah may have chosen a different life as much as a different man. The middle section of the book really drags but the ending is gripping, even when you already know how the story will end. Ms. Horan has clearly done a lot of research; I wish her editor had done a lot more editing. Not everything you learn needs to be included in a book.

Ms. Horan has clearly done a lot of research; I wish her editor had done a lot more editing. Not everything you learn needs to be included in a book.
Horan's historical fiction novel does a nice job of portraying the somewhat scandalous life of Mamah Borthwick Chaney, a bright , educated mother of two. When she and her husband hire a young Frank Lloyd Wright to design their house in Oak Park, Illinois, there was little chance of knowing the love that would blossom between he and Mamah. Note to self, don't leave your unhappy, bored wife home alone with a fascinating charismatic architect... Their belief that they were meant for each other enabled them to defy convention as they escape to Europe, both leaving their spouses and children to cope. While Wright works on his designs, Mamah begins to explore her new world. Horan's narrative also shows us the influences that Mamah met, including the feminist Ellen Key, who helped her to convince herself that her love for FLW was more important that her responsibility to her family. It was interesting the way their affair was scandalized in the papers, and Horan did a nice job of intertwining real documents with the narrative she created. We also get a good portrait of the architect himself, his genius and his flaws. He had a wonderful vision of how homes should compliment the land, organic in nature to the surroundings. He was also terrible with money, berated his workers and an egotistical perfectionist. There are years of true happiness that are shared, especially after he builds Taliesin for Mamah in southern Wisconsin. After some years Mamah has acquired a divorce, her husband remarried and her children come to visit her during the summers. All seems headed for a happy ending as Frank just finishes the Midway Gardens in Chicago and is about to win the contract for the Imperial Hotel in Japan. But alas this is a tragic story; the truth often is.
Mamah was tired of living on the outskirts of life and her affair with Frank Lloyd Wright enabled her to find many outlets for her intellectual passions. "I have been standing on the side o life, watching if float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current." It's hard to not read about the couple while reading the book, but I would caution the reader from that indulgence. It is also hard to be sympathetic to these two lovers who leave behind eight children between them, but the author is not asking for our sympathy, she is presenting a love of two unusual people and we are fortunate to share in her insights.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345495004, Paperback)Amazon Significant Seven, August 2007: It's a rare treasure to find a historically imagined novel that is at once fully versed in the facts and unafraid of weaving those truths into a story that dares to explore the unanswered questions. Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Cheney's love story is--as many early reviews of Loving Frank have noted--little-known and often dismissed as scandal. In Nancy Horan's skillful hands, however, what you get is two fully realized people, entirely, irrepressibly, in love. Together, Frank and Mamah are a wholly modern portrait, and while you can easily imagine them in the here and now, it's their presence in the world of early 20th century America that shades how authentic and, ultimately, tragic their story is. Mamah's bright, earnest spirit is particularly tender in the context of her time and place, which afforded her little opportunity to realize the intellectual life for which she yearned. Loving Frank is a remarkable literary achievement, tenderly acute and even-handed in even the most heartbreaking moments, and an auspicious debut from a writer to watch. --Anne Bartholomew

Gia has been persistently and gently pursuing Dexter, the shy, sweet boy she has a crush on. The pattern has been that she suggests they hook up, he gives some reason it wouldn't be a good idea (mainly related to his criminally low self-esteem), she seeks clarification, rinse and repeat. Well, this afternoon he finally began moving in a different direction, asking her how it would look if something happened between them. Woah!
So happy for her! So freaked out about the ways this could end up being really hard to take!
I could go on for paragraphs about the nuances of my feelings about this development, but I'm trying to focus on it less rather than more at the moment, so I'll simply repeat what I told her: "I'm fine with you hanging out with Dex an unlimited amount of time, I'm fine with you making out with him an unlimited amount of time, and I'm fine with you sleeping with him once. But after that, if you end up making more room for one-on-one time with him than you do with me, or possibly even an equal amount of time, I will be insanely jealous. I'm pretty sure that's where I'm at."
She assured me that she has her priorities in order. I'm torn between going into more detail with her about my needs and my take on this, and not belaboring my point.
Here's how I know I'm dealing with some teenager-level angst about this: Nine Inch Nails is helping my mood.

Every ten years, we conduct a national census that endeavors to make an accurate count of every single resident of the country. But in a distortion of this process, under current practice the Census Bureau counts incarcerated persons not in the community of their legal residence, but where they are imprisoned. Because census data are used to allocate congressional seats and seats in state and local legislatures, jurisdictions with large prisons and prison populations become eligible for greater representation in government on the backs of people who have no voting rights in the prison community and are not considered legal residents of the prison district for any other purpose. At the same time, the home communities of incarcerated persons--usually more urban areas--are shortchanged in terms of political power and representation.

Already named one of the "50 Best Albums of 2011" by Guitar World, the new self-titled album from The Wandas - out August 30th - has been catching the many for it's exceptional songwriting and forceful performances.
USA Today raves "Do or Die. Ooh, I can't get tired of this one -- and after the first chorus, I couldn't get tired of singing it, either. The Wandas may remind you a bit of early Wilco, although they hail from Boston." My Old Kentucky Blog goes on to say "The Wandas' breakthrough may be upon us. [Forever And Ever] is both effortless and timeless, the kind of thing Tom Petty used to knock out at will, and a slice of music so perfect that you need not be surprised if you end up standing next to your parents the next time The Wandas swing through your town."
Spending the last two years relentlessly touring America, The Wandas were able to enter the studio and successfully record their new album live with minimal overdubs, most of the songs completed in 3 takes or less. What the band created was a sonically tight collection of interweaving doo-wop vocal melodies and early pop rock. Produced by long-time fan Patrick Krief (guitarist and co-writer of The Dears,) THE WANDAS was recorded at MixArt Studios in Montreal and features members of The Stills, Stars and The Dears.

Running the White House at Full Tilt
Frenetic, Six-Day-a-Week Pace Also Saw Several Missteps, but None Seemed to Slow Obama's Broader Agenda
One Monday in February, President Barack Obama began the day by hosting the nation's governors at the White House. He then appointed his vice president to oversee implementation of the mammoth economic stimulus plan, vowed to cut the deficit in half and prepared to name Gary Locke as his third choice for Commerce secretary. By day's end, he had put finishing touches on a speech to Congress that would call for the fundamental remaking of the government's role in national life, from health care to energy to education.
The day was busy, but not terribly unusual for a White House that has run at full tilt for most of its first three months.
The pace has been intense and difficult, six days a week in the slow periods, with aides reporting to work usually by 7 and leaving routinely at 11. Advisers speak of dashing out of the White House to tuck their children into bed, then rushing right back.
National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers has attained some notoriety for letting the exhaustion show through by falling asleep during a meeting, a moment caught on camera.
"It's been like flying a plane while you're redesigning it," a senior administration official said.
The Obama White House has secured only a handful of legislative victories in his first 100 days -- an arbitrary stock-taking mark established during Franklin Roosevelt's first term -- but it has forwarded the most aggressive opening agenda in memory and set the stage for perhaps his entire term.
Mr. Obama came into office with an unusually long and urgent agenda: the handling of the financial crisis, the housing crisis, the collapsing auto industry, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And he has added more to his own to-do list: notably health care and energy -- plus a new stab at Middle East peace.
The past 13 weeks have seen several missteps, such as failed nominees, and stumbling responses to political flare-ups over corporate bonuses and Bush-era interrogations of suspected terrorists.
But so far at least, none has seemed to slow Mr. Obama's broader agenda. Success in governing is about momentum, says White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. So when obstacles arose, the president cut his losses. After the GOP labeled a family-planning program in the stimulus plan out-of-control spending, the White House jettisoned it. When former Sen. Tom Daschle withdrew his nomination for secretary of Health and Human Services, the president declared, "I screwed up" and moved on.
The controversies that arose over the first 100 days mostly passed by quickly -- partly because it seemed there was always another big issue to take its place.
The president has made outreach one of his key themes -- both to congressional Republicans and foreign leaders with grievances against the U.S. So far, neither has paid significant dividends, but the White House believes that in both cases, it is laying the foundation for future cooperation.
At home, a few Republicans have occasionally joined Mr. Obama on his agenda -- and one key Republican, Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, Tuesday joined the Democratic Party. But the president has yet to secure any significant GOP support for major initiatives.
Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the second-ranking in the Republican leadership, said he can recall Mr. Obama telling him on numerous occasions -- during the stimulus discussions, and just last week, among them -- that he wants to work together. So far he has been disappointed, although -- perhaps conscious of the president's popularity -- he blames congressional Democrats.
"I would ask him to impose his stated desire to work together on the Speaker [Nancy Pelosi] and [Senate] Leader [Harry] Reid," he said.
For all the frenzy, Obama aides say that a large part of what has happened was actually scripted before Mr. Obama walked into the Oval Office on Jan. 20. "This was a fairly well-choreographed period," said senior adviser David Axelrod. "We set goals. We set deadlines. And we achieved them."
The breadth of the Obama agenda was apparent before he took office. On Dec. 6, the incoming White House chief of staff summoned some two dozen future White House senior staffers for a "retreat" -- albeit one in a windowless room in the transition office, on a Saturday, without snacks or drinks. Four unavoidable and expensive pieces of legislation were barreling down on them: the stimulus bill, another $350 billion to bail out Wall Street, a leftover 2008 spending bill at $410 billion, and an emergency war-spending bill. The "optics," he conceded, would be terrible, and threatened to swallow the early days of the administration, overwhelming any other priorities. How they were presented would be key, he said.
Then, on Dec. 16, the economic team and Mr. Obama met in the Chicago transition offices to grapple with an economic crisis that was spiraling downward. Christina Romer, who would become the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, was chipper, but her message was dark: The U.S. recession was the worst since the Great Depression. Mr. Summers said the economic stimulus package had to be much larger than $300 billion contemplated to date. The new target: some $800 billion. The sobriety of the four-hour session was interrupted only when the president-elect carried in a 40th birthday cake for incoming budget director Peter Orszag.
With a snowstorm brewing, some of the biggest names of the incoming administration opted to travel to the airport on the train instead of catching a ride with future Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's driver. Messrs. Summers, Geithner and Orszag, energy czar Carol Browner, domestic policy coordinator Melody Barnes, and Mr. Geithner's entire security detail piled into one El car and began to plot the basic structure of the most expensive federal initiative in U.S. history, down to details of computerized medical records and energy-efficient electricity wires.
As Inauguration Day approached, the budget team presented the president-elect with their first take on how his campaign promises would be reconciled with the economic reality they faced. Several initiatives were scaled back, such as spending on foreign aid. For the health-care overhaul he had promised, the budget line said zero, one senior adviser said. It wasn't that the budget aides were scuttling the initiative, but they figured that it was unnecessary to detail the price or how they'd pay for it.
That concerned some in the room, who saw a zero as "a not-so subtle message that the priority has slipped considerably," said one adviser in attendance.
Mr. Obama had just one objection to the two-page line-item budget summary advisers presented him: "Protect health care," he directed.
But the matter of money remained unresolved through several more budget meetings, including the final session before the budget went to press. There were three options: declaring they would pursue health reform, but with no cost details; offering a "down payment" of tax increases and spending cuts equal to about $600 billion over 10 years; and proposing tax increases and spending cuts of some $1 trillion, close to the full cost.
The White House opted for the middle option, over objections of some on the economic team who again worried about too much spending, too fast. When the budget was released, that was the Republicans' No. 1 talking point.
Advisers concede that Mr. Obama is unlikely to win any GOP votes on the budget. With health care, climate change, education and foreign-policy initiatives spanning the globe on the table, there will be no shortage of opportunity for the parties to work together -- or not to.

Okay hotel for a quick weekend vacation. Water sports were great, but not included. Food fresh, but nothing local, just basic stuff. The hotel was far from downtown and a US $15 taxi one way. Ferry from Plays del Carmen US$14 per person. I did not consider the hotel a resort at all. It was too basic and not luxurious. The drinks were included, but the alcohol was diluted.
May 15, 2009
This hotel has seen better days. The grounds are not kept up very well and many of the fixtures in common areas need to be replaced. This was our first all inclusive experience, and it was about what we thought. Find the right bar and they have better offerings, and the food was just so so, but their was plenty of variety. The property is far enough from town that it's nice and quiet, unlike some of the guests as can be expected. ...

Overall good value. Nice family friendly atmosphere. I found the room clean but the bed and linens could have been nicer. Clean older hotel.
February 19, 2009
This seemed to be a family friendly resort. We would have appreciated more pre-arranged entertainment on-site that was more cultured. The variety of the food at the buffet was less than average. I could hear the outside conversations from our room. There were not adequate covers on the bed. We did like that it did not cost extra to utilize the sea kayaks. We did not appreciate being hounded to have a tour to encourage us to purchase a time share. ...

Family Traveling with Young Children
Comfortable beds, decent sized room, needs mini bars and refrigerators in each room, rooms need repainted as kind of dingy. Buffets not my thing but were actually good. Snack bar and bars excellent.

Family Traveling with Young Children
This is a decent overall hotel. The restaurant selections are lacking and the beach is not nearly as nice as the pictures lead you to believe.

CBS says that's also where the million-dollar winner will be revealed live during the final episode that'll air just before the reunion show.
The votes have been sealed since the final tribal council was held on the island of Nuku Hiva.
O'Donnell replaces Bryant Gumbel, who has hosted the first three reunion shows. Gumbel's contract with CBS runs out in May.
O'Donnell will also host her own Survivor reunion on her talk show that airs its final episode three days after the million-dollar winner is announced.

This is the full wedding hightlights for Ian & Kirsty.
On Saturday 18th June 2011 one of my best mates Ian married Kirsty, they asked if I would mind filming the entire day. I had never done this before so was a tad apprehensive. Overall I'm pretty happy with the outcome, some scenes are a bit out of focus, some shakey but this will hopefully improve with more practice!
All filmed by me with a Canon T2i, an indislider mini and a tripod which broke half way through the day :-(. Audio at the start was captured using a Zoom H2.
A 4 min highlight can be found here: vimeo.com/25970691
I also created a Lost tribute wedding video, check it out: vimeo.com/25939298
My YouTube page has a few other videos of the couple; including:
- A Wedding Rehearsal
- The Story of Us (A short Pre-Wedding Interview)
Any comments or tips are always greatly appreciated!

The maps appear in Firefox but not when viewing the site with Google's Chrome browser. I also checked IE, and it works fine there. Any ideas on how I might fix the problem with it appearing on Chrome?

Soil is our most valuable resource, and it is diminishing and eroding away faster than we can rebuild it. I am interested in transforming landfill waste into the finest quality compost to support regeneration of healthy, vibrant, living soils.
I teach composting and can help you build or troubleshoot your own system. I recently received my master's on compost use in suppressing plant disease, and have taught a university-level compost ecology course for the past 3 years.

Vnukovo Chairman Seeks to Start Talks to Buy Domodedovo in 2012
Vitaly Vantsev, Chairman of Vnukovo International Airport, plans to start talks on buying Domodedovo, Russia's largest airport, after the country's January holidays.
"We are considering buying Domodedovo with partners," Vantsev said on the phone yesterday. He said he had received no offer and learned about the sale from the press. The Vedomosti newspaper reported yesterday that Domodedovo had hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to act as an adviser on the sale.
Vantsev valued the airport at $3 billion, citing his experience. Vnukovo is Moscow's third-largest airport, after Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo. The airport's owners are seeking about $5 billion for the asset, Interfax reported today.
"We will look for financial partners if we enter into a deal," he said.

LOTR Masterpieces Cards - 1 by grantgoboomWatch
©2007-2016 grantgoboom
In 2006, I was one of the artists on the "Lord of the Rings: Masterpieces" trading card set (put out by Topps). These are a few samples of the sketch cards I did -- I did 1,100 total (yep, over a thousand, all in color -- let it be known, I am a trooper), each one was an actual drawing on the card, so when you pull 'em from packs, you're pulling the actual drawing, not a reproduction. There were no aftermarkets on this set, so there was no coloring added after the set came out.
Yay, Gothmog! Nobody likes him..
I love Gothmog!
Really? All this time I thought I was pretty much the only one that liked him.. At least there are some that actually do like him
Excellent portraits, love 'em all!
wow. you did so many........
Hey, fantastic stuff! I love these cards and it's a shame that they aren't available here.
Great look to this... time and love makes great cards..

From the reviews:
"Making Transcendence Transparent is one of those books that stand out from the crowd because the authors have put a lot of good work into it, and plenty of imagination and creativity. It is witty, funny at times, highly entertaining, very readable and interesting to both the casual and advanced reader. ... The text helps us understand the concepts by building a very strong intuition and also motivates the concepts from a historical point of view. … Conclusion: read this one!" (Álvaro Lozano-Robledo, MathDL, January, 2006)
"One of the goals of the authors is to provide the reader with an intuitive framework in which the major classical results of transcendental number theory can be appreciated. … This book is an introduction to the subject which is supposed to enable the reader to pursue later his study with more modern results. … An appendix provides basic facts from complex analysis which are required for the proofs. This book is aimed at beginners who like to have examples and detailed proofs." (Zentralblatt MATH, August, 2005)
"The book under review covers much wonderful material, heads in several directions, and could be used in many ways." (MAA reviews, D'Angelo, John P.)
From the Back Cover
While the study of transcendental numbers is a fundamental pursuit within number theory, the general mathematics community is familiar only with its most elementary results. The aim of Making Transcendence Transparent is to introduce readers to the major "classical" results and themes of transcendental number theory and to provide an intuitive framework in which the basic principles and tools of transcendence can be understood. The text includes not just the myriad of technical details requisite for transcendence proofs, but also intuitive overviews of the central ideas of those arguments so that readers can appreciate and enjoy a panoramic view of transcendence. In addition, the text offers a number of excursions into the basic algebraic notions necessary for the journey. Thus the book is designed to appeal not only to interested mathematicians, but also to both graduate students and advanced undergraduates.
Edward Burger is Professor of Mathematics and Chair at Williams College. His research interests are in Diophantine analysis, and he is the author of over forty papers, books, and videos. The Mathematical Association of America has honored Burger on a number of occasions including, most recently, in awarding him the prestigious 2004 Chauvenet Prize.
Robert Tubbs is a Professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He has written numerous papers in transcendental number theory. Tubbs has held visiting positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, MSRI, and at Paris VI. He has recently completed a book on the cultural history of mathematical truth.

My 500GB WD external HDD was working fine a few months ago, and I've just plugged it in again. It is now unrecognised by my OSX, Ubuntu and Windows boxes, and doesn't seem to spin up when connected. It makes a quiet, repetitive humming that comes on and off about once every second.
I thought it might e the 'Click of Death', but the recording on the wikipedia page doesn't sound anyhing like it. This question may be related, but they say they can access the drive—while I cannot.
Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated, however blunt (I don't think there's anything I'd cry over on it).
Fixed, with help of @RJFalconer — mounted the drive in a new case. It is interesting to note that the WD caddy actually used the legacy power connector to the drive, while the new case uses the SATA power cables. I don't know enough about drive to know what exactly was happening, so I'll just be thankful it's fixed.

Jackson was notified of the fire, which destroyed the
homestead at Paradise, about 20km past the Glenorchy
township, by the Paradise Trust which operated the property.
Picturesque at every turn, the area was showcased in the Lord
of the Rings trilogy, which Sir Peter directed.
After learning of the May 23 fire, he sent a note to the
trust through his agent.
''We first came to Paradise over 15 years ago,'' Jackson
''It is always a great privilege to film here. You could
search the world over and never find a more beautiful place
... Fran [Sir Peter's wife] and I are very proud to support
the rebuilding of the Paradise Homestead and the efforts to
protect this beloved part of Aotearoa.''
Paradise Trust chairman Tom Pryde said Sir Peter's
endorsement was ''amazingly helpful'' at this difficult time.
On Saturday, the Glenorchy and wider communities were invited
to an ''ashes picnic'' next to the remains ofthe homestead.
There, Mr Pryde announced Sir Peter's endorsement and words
of support.
''It's fantastic that he has acknowledged what a special
place it is and how special it is for his movies,'' Mr Pryde
told the Otago Daily Times at the picnic.
He added that Jackson, a famously private person, was
''probably asked to support a thousand things a week''.
Now, the trust was looking ahead to the rebuild, and
fundraising ventures were already under way.
Mr Pryde said the trust had decided against building a
replica of the 131-year-old heritage building.
''It's [building a replica] not paying proper respect to
what's been lost and it's just not the right thing to do ...
as beautiful as the place was.''
The new building would retain the ideas of what Paradise
embodied. It would be financially affordable, for all to
enjoy a simple way of life, and would not become a luxury
resort, like Blanket Bay or Matakauri Lodge.
A ''Friends of Paradise'' internet page has been set up.
Discount books are being sold as a fundraiser.
