|Years active
Iliza Vie Shlesinger[1] (/ʃlɛsɪnɡər/;[2] born February 22, 1983) is an American comedian. She is the host of the TBS comedy/game show Separation Anxiety, and was the winner of the sixth season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and host of the syndicated dating show Excused.[3]
Early life[edit]
Shlesinger was born in New York City and her family moved to Dallas, Texas when she was six months old. She attended the private Greenhill School and participated on the school's improvisation team. She is Jewish.[4] She performed with ComedySportz Dallas and attended the University of Kansas for her freshman year. She also participated in Semester at Sea. She transferred to Emerson College in Boston, where she majored in film. There, she was a member of the campus' comedy sketch group, Jimmy's Traveling All Stars, and refined her writing and editing skills.
After graduating from college, Shlesinger moved to Los Angeles to pursue stand-up comedy. She was one of the most popular members of the Whiteboy Comedy group of standup comedians in Los Angeles, which brought her to the stage at The Improv in Hollywood.[5]

Featuring guest hosts, the weekly podcast is a forum for discussing things which bother Shlesinger and her friends,[20] with punk theme song performed by Being Mean to Pixley.[21]

Hello all-
Hoping someone in the lovely WP community can help me with this. I disable pingbacks by default -- the ones I get are almost always spam, so I just don't like to bother with 'em. I already had the annoying experience of upgrading to 2.0, which re-enabled pingbacks on all my older posts; rather than going through 400+ older posts, I just turn off pingbacks on individual posts as I get spam there.
Recently, though, I got a pingback on a newer post where I had disabled pingbacks!
Fortunately, it wasn't spam (for once), but it's still a disturbing development. Here's the post on my blog:
The pingback shows up as comment 93. I'm looking at this post's "Write Post" screen in my WordPress control panel right now and "Allow pings" is very clearly unchecked.
Here's the post that creates the ping back:
What is going on here? Do I have a basic misunderstanding of what a pingback is?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Historical Traveler Reviews Golden Tulip De'Medici Hotel Brugge
Nice and quite, not too far from the town
It was OK. We stayed on our way back from Germany and Luxembourg. Our room was the smallest out of the 3 hotels we stayed in on our trip but there was nothing wrong with it. The bathroom was very modern but why they bother to put in double wash basins is beyond me. Who wants their partner washing their bits next to you ;-). Our room overlooked the 'Japanese garden' and the air conditioning worked a treat. Couldn't have the window open because it's mosquito time!! The hotel is near the most beautiful church and not too far a walk to the main square. Dinner in the town was very very expensive 90 euros for two. Nice food though. The hotel has it's own Japanses restaurant and if we'd been staying more than one night would have eaten there but we wanted to taste the local food. The bar was very accommodating with a TV for the football fans and all the staff were very polite but not as friendly as we found in the other two cities. We had a very good rate and as I always recommend, try booking direct with the hotel, it's often the cheapest option. Enjoy your stay
Nice hotel
We stayed here for one night on a recent trip to Brugge. We found most hotels in Brugge very expensive, but this hotel was a good value for the $$. The location is good, just about 10 minutes walk from the city center. It's located on a beautiful canal along cobblestone streets. We parked on the street with a purchased pass, and it worked very well. The rooms were good sized and very clean. We were looking forward to enjoying the spa after a long day of walking; however we were dismayed to find the jacuzzi out of order. The steam room and sauna were very nice, though, as well as the solarium. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic and we were pleased it was included in the room rate. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. One note...we had dinner at a very upscale French restaurant, Chez Olivier, and I would highly recommend it for a charming and gourmet meal.
Nice hotel Little bit like Venice
Just back from 1 Night in the Golden Tulip DeMedici Brugge. Hotel was very clean in nice quiet area beside canal about 10 minutes walk from Market Area with all the bars and restaurants. I would recommend this hotel, it has a Japanese Restaurant which I did not get to use as I wanted to sample the Local Belgium Restaurants near the square. I would recommend La Civiere d'Or at the market followed by Cambrinus Pub with 400 Belgium Beers and finish off in Celtic Ireland Pub if you want some music.
Tommy Tourist
Definately average... not bad particularly, but not that romantic or special
I think it was the surprise this is a chain hotel (Pacific International) and we had thought we were booking into a nice boutique one. It has the feel of a club-med cum old holiday-inn type mix, yet has a quite expensive Japanese Tepanyaki restaurant in the foyer.
The staff were friendly but not overly helpful. It is on the canal, but the views from the rooms dont really benefit. The hotel isnt that far away from town but there did seem to be many, many others closer and nicer. That wasnt an issue until you get to dinner-time, dead tired from touring Brugge, and just wanted a nice little cafe or restaurant to relax into, without facing the walk home.
The pool and health facilities were out of order and no one had informed us beforehand, probably would have been mifft if we had really planned on using them.
However the one great thing about it, was the bread at breakfast! Yummy freshly baked and warm - the meal was a great way to start our day... just maybe not enough to make us go back though...
Good hotel
Spotlessly clean hotel in a quiet area, along a canal, about 10 minutes' pleasant walk from the Markt. We had a very generous family room - ample room for all three of us.
All staff in the hotel were pleasant and friendly, and although quite large it gave the impression of being cosy and intimate.
The only drawback is the psychological distance from the centre in the evening when it comes to food. Although within some walking distance from the main restaurants (and I suppose we could have got a taxi) that was a challenge after a day of walking and sightseeing. The choice at the hotel was between an expensive Japanese restaurant and a bar which was neat and clean but lacking atmosphere and a limited choice of food.
All in all however a very pleasant stay.
Good Location - Good Price - Would stay there again
We stayed at the hotel on Boxing Day and found everything to be of a good standard. The reception staff were friendly and checkin/checkout was a breeze. The hotel bar was decent for a nightcap and while we didn't have breafast as we had the eurotunnel train to catch the facilities looked good.
The room itself was very large by continental standards, with enough room for a desk and chairs to go along with the expected double bed and chest of drawers. The bathroom was also quite large, but looked like it was part way through some refurbishment. We had a 2nd floor room facing the road/canal providing some nice views.
The location was very good. Call it a 10 min walk to the town square, with neighbourhood pubs and restaurants well within stumbling distance. If you come by car you can follow the ring road around to the north-east corner and then cross the canal, on to the cobblestone and its down the road along the canal on the left and secure parking is 10 euro/night, although the street parking looks safe enough. If you're arriving by train/bus its a walk clear across town to get to the hotel.
One word of warning for those travelling with kids, while flippin through the channels to find BBC (no really we were!) we stumbled past an 'unlocked' porn channel so you might want to be careful leaving them alone with the tele!
That minor point aside, we'd definitely recommend staying here and would do so again.
Comfortable and modern
A spacious, quiet, comfortable hotel with an excellent breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Rather a long walk from town if you're a bit crotchety but there's a bus stop over the road. Buses every 20 mins and into the centrum for one euro. Private parking available. Reasonable evening menu available in bar but no tea making facilities in room.
Excellent situation
We spent a three night break July 7-10 at this hotel which overlooks canal in quiet cobbled street. Very pleasant variable walks to centre (10 mins). Room in new block was exceptionally clean, acceptable size but not huge, overlooking japanese garden. Bathroom really well thought out. Excellent breakfast, including small selection hot buffet. Availability of secure car park 10 euros a day. We paid 299 euros for two people for three nights including breakfast. Week day breakfasts very quiet, Sunday very busy but plenty of food and quiet and efficient staff. Several eating places locally plus so many a short walk away. Highly recommended by two active and well travelled 65 year olds.
We stayed at this hotel in May 2004, during the UK long weekend. This location was right alongside the river, and 5mins walk into town. We drove here from the UK, and took around 45mins from Calais. Brugge itself was beautiful, and a nice hotel, that treats you well always helps.
The hotel room was large, and bathroom and beds were great. The breakfast in the morning was very nice, not greasy like most places but still gave you your full breakfast. They also have a nice Chinese garden outside the breakfast room which is nice.
Nice hotel, nice room, nice people and nice location
The Golden Tulip De'Medici is Top Notch!
I recently traveled through Germany, Luxembourg, and Belgium with some friends. The Golden Tulip in Brugge (Bruges) was by far the nicest hotel that we stayed at during our two-week trip. It is about a five minute walk from the center of the city on a quiet road next to a canal. The rooms were large (even by American standards!) and clean, the AC worked beautifully, and the employees were very friendly.

Frites and Chocolate and Beer, Oh My!
Well I believe Brugge, Belgium may be the most dangerous place for me to visit in the world. Whose idea was it to combine the best beer, chocolate, frites and waffles in one country? But in reality I had such a fun rapid-fire weekend exploring Brugge with a couple other au pairs.
I had been speaking to Maddy in early September about a few more places we both wanted to get to before our au pair years were up. I mentioned that ...
The Low Countries
... The carpet that one walks on tells the history of the city and its civic guards as do the wonderful paintings on the wall. Another discovery was the Begijhof, a small circle of homes where women who had denounced materialism lived simply beside a small church which one could easily walk past without noticing. The reason, Catholics took pains not to draw attention to themselves in the Protestant dominated community. Of course, we couldn't help but stumble upon the flower market full ...
Fries Please!
... French fries. Who knew? I haven't had them yet but there is still time. I have enjoyed the free chocolate samples however….wow! Chocolate everywhere!
Last night I enjoyed some tomato and carrot soup with croque monsieur – all very yummy! And only cost 10 euros.
Today was a little cooler with temperature only about 13 degrees Celsius and cloudy. Nothing like a little hot chocolate to help!
After the boat tour ...
Biking to Damme and Knokke, Belgium
... aren't due till 6pm. The wind steadily increased as we approached the coast. The path was not as picturesque as earlier, but we still had a dedicated bike path with no fear of renegade cars swiping us. One of the towns, before Knokke, the last town on the coast, must have been a rich neighborhood. There were expensive car shops, Bentley, and sculpted lawns leading to modest sized, but beautifully built houses. To get to the coast, we had to bike through ...
The introduction to great waffles and good beer
... 8221; to taste like- then I went to Belgium. Bubbly, Fruity, Wheaty, delicious, cold goodness in a tall fabulous glass-what more do you need in a beer? I know! A monks blessing! (but will get to that at a different time) Unbeknownst to us this was the beginning of our Belgium beer tour.
Brugges is a great place to start off the beer experience. They have a fabulous brewery in town called De Halve Maan (Straffe ...

No one has ever ridden smarter than Armstrong, who has always had a sixth sense for avoiding Tour-ending crashes. But an all-out sprint for a stage finish doesn't require grace under knee-knocking, throat-closing pressure. It's just about guts and heart.
Armstrong has as much of those as any man or woman who ever competed in any sport.
But is he a greater clutch performer than Jordan or Ali or Montana or Nicklaus? When has Armstrong ever been tested under huge-moment fire the way those greats were? No, he doesn't belong in the same argument with them.
Similarly, how can you debate Armstrong's place among great all-around athletes when cycling calls upon such a narrow range of ability? Does Armstrong's sport demand hand-eye coordination or full-body athleticism the way ball sports do? No. Armstrong is the first to admit he's no good at ball sports.
Yes, some hand-eye and body control are required to steer a bike at high speeds through traffic or crashes or around curves. Yet Armstrong doesn't have the rare reflexes required to connect with 95-mph fastballs, or to throw baseballs or footballs, or to catch 60-yard passes on the dead run, or to make 25-foot jumpers or spinning, hanging circus shots over leaping giants.
Jordan was the greatest basketball player and greatest clutch performer ever -- but he failed miserably at baseball. So if you want the greatest all-around athletes -- combining the widest array of talent and skill at the highest levels -- choose your favorite from this list: Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson, Wilt Chamberlain, Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown, Bjorn Borg, Wayne Gretzky, Bo Jackson, John Elway and Deion Sanders.
I make the greatest all-around case for Sanders. In his prime, Sanders was the greatest cover corner ever. Fastest man (and one of the quickest) in football. Excellent hands as a ball hawk, receiver or kick returner. Underrated upper-body strength that allowed him to control bigger receivers at the line of scrimmage.
And Sanders did not fail at baseball. Sanders was a regular outfielder for the Yankees, Braves, Giants and Reds. For the Braves, Deion was 8-for-15 in the 1992 World Series.
You can argue that Bo Jackson was a better combination football/baseball player because he made one Pro Bowl and one All-Star team. Yet Jackson was too stiff to be much of a basketball player. Sanders was an all-state high-school basketball player in Fort Myers, Fla. Advantage, Deion.
As a runner, Armstrong's 10K times were good but not great. He doesn't have the rare speed of a Sanders or Jackson -- or the lightning quickness of Allen Iverson. Armstrong and Iverson are about the same size. But Iverson not only has the NBA's best body control but also could have starred in college football as an option quarterback.
Armstrong isn't in Iverson's all-around league.
Yet the argument I always get is: Yes, but could Deion or Ichiro or Iverson win the Tour de France?
I have no idea how genetically gifted they are at processing oxygen in endurance sports. Iverson's VO2 max might surprise you. But the point is, none of the three had any desire to subject themselves to the grueling training required to win long-distance bike races.

Just some selling pressure. Smart money dropped bids to accumulate the stock on the cheap. After close today the company declared a regular dividend. Stock should recover nicely over time as its earnings and yield are very good.
yield is now 10.4 %. Once rights behind should go back to 9
If this thing breaks 8 bucks, I AM FINISHED. No more cafe lattes from starbucks. I am fresh out of cash. I am beside myself. Today this jackass stock dropped 15 cents (am I dreaming) and the nav was up. FUCK FUCK FUCK. I cant take it any more. Sami is behind this manipulation. All kidding aside, I am very worried about the ominous turn of events. The longs are leaving this stock like the taliban are fleeing into the mountains. The Northern alliance, (sami and his pink friend) are hammering thins thing into the ground with daisy cutter bombs. I hope and pray to the almighty stockgod that he smile upon this frigate and goose it back up to 8.99 so I can get out at break even.Hippo pitto mouth
your buying point be in the near term?
IMO the low will be 2 possible points, the last few days of the rights offering and the last few days of the year (tax loss selling). I seem to see this a lot with different companies where shareholders miss the point on what's happening. They always assume it's a management conspiracy to screw shareholders...or that there is some hidden reason their stock is dropping. The bottom line is stocks go up and down by supply and demand....things like earnings, interest rates EFFECT supply and demand. Determine possible future supply and demand and you've determined where the stock will go, IMHO. ACG has 68mm possible NEW shares coming with a short period of time, this is a supply disruption with pre determined dilution, nothing more. If you can determine when the supply disruption is over you can guess the stocks bottom. I expect the stock to go below $8 in the short term and recover nicely mid the end of January. Fundamentally ACG will have roughly $.30 in dilution which puts the NAV roughly at $8.05 based off of a NAV of $8.35. The next question is does ACG actually EARN their dividend. Acquisitions costs cloud what I can find. The key issue is to determine whether they can comtinue to earn this great dividend. A $.84 dividend will certainly allow the stock to recover nicely once the supply bubble is thru. Of course just my humble opinion..JMHO
flipper - How did you come up with the $0.30 figure for dilution (assuming NAV of $8.35)?
164.845mm shares times $8.35=$1.376.45 billion68.6mm shares times $7.60($8 times .95)plus 4% taken off for expenses=$500.51mmtotal=233.45mm shares worth $1.876.96=$8.04/shr or $.31 dilution.
Well done flipper. These posters have to have a little faith. this co. wouldn't be doing this if they didn't have somewhere to go with the money. The consensus is that rates will stay down for a good while which makes this a very attractive yield, and will augur well for price appreciation , post offering. Like the man said "you buy this type of investment for income"jose

Hi there,
I'm using radio buttons in my form. It all worked okay when it was a one page form, but when I add the hidden step field for the multi page form, the values of the radio buttons are acting strange.
One group of radio buttons change all to value="1", no matter what the label is. Even when I add the html code directly to the form, the values are changed to 1.
The second group of radio buttons have no value at all after I add the hidden step field.
Do you have any idea how this is possible?
Thanks again!

Hi all,
I'm creating a simple 'photo' blog using Pinboard theme, where each post will be in image and nothing more. The blog is is <www.somethingaboutparis.com>
My aim:
- have the posts appear and update on my blog home page automatically (which I have achieved)
- allow users to clear on the image and be taken to the actual post page to comment and share etc.
Currently, the image link takes users to the image file (i.e. the jpeg). I can only access the post by clicking on its title or permalink.
What I have tried to date:
- installed various plugins to try and link the image to the post page/permalink – all have failed;
- have updated <wp-admin/options> to ensure image_default_link_type reads 'none' or 'post';
- re-uploaded all my image files ensuring they are not linked to the image or attachment file.
Everything I have tried to date has failed. The image on my home screen continues to link to the .jpg file.
Grateful for fresh ideas and advice about how I can overcome this problem.

Despite the profusion of promising new vaccines against illnesses prevalent in developing countries, uncertainties about the balance between costs and benefits of new vaccines have retarded their use in public health practice. Conventional prelicensure trials of vaccine protection exacerbate these uncertainties by focusing on measurement of vaccine efficacy—the performance of a vaccine under idealized conditions. Vaccine effectiveness trials provide a more pragmatic perspective by addressing the performance of a vaccine under the ordinary conditions of a public health program, by capturing direct as well as indirect effects of vaccination, and by comprehensively addressing outcomes of public health concern. The use of effectiveness trials should enable more rational triaging of new vaccines for developing countries and may accelerate the introduction of new vaccines into public health practice by resolving speculative debates about practical costs and benefits.

Ratko Mladic fit to be extraditedBreaking News
Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb wartime general, is fit to be extradited to the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague and has until Monday to appeal, a judge at a special Serbian war crimes court has said.
"Mladic's lawyer was delivered the extradition papers and he has until Monday to appeal," judge Maja Kovacevic said.
He said Mladic had been examined by a medical commission "which has determined he is fit for further proceedings".
Europe's most-wanted man was arrested in the early hours of Thursday in a village in northern Serbia ended a 16-year manhunt. He made a first court appearance in Belgrade later the same day.
But there were immediate questions over whether the 69-year-old Bosnian Serb was fit to stand trial after he claimed to be ill....

One of the most persistent mistakes investors make, often with devastating consequences, is the failure to consider their human (labor) capital when constructing their portfolios. In fact, while human capital can dominate a portfolio (especially in the case of younger workers who have limited financial capital), it's an often-ignored component of an individual's wealth. The reason for this oversight is that human capital doesn't appear on any balance sheet. The problem is so pervasive that, in my experience, it's the rare financial advisor that even considers human capital in their asset allocation recommendations.
What you're worth
We can define human capital as the ability to earn income. Not only do we need to define the magnitude of one's human capital, but we also need to consider its variability. Some businesses and professions are highly cyclical, and are thus highly correlated to the economic cycle and the risks of owning stocks. Good examples of professions that might fall into the high correlation category are automobile and construction workers. Other professions have very stable incomes as their ability to generate income has little or no

PERSISTENT MYTHS about sleep in late life may deter older adults from bringing sleep troubles to their physicians and physicians from pursuing often-remediable symptoms.
It is not true, sleep specialists asserted in recent interviews, that:
• poor sleep is an inevitable consequence of aging;
• older people need less sleep;
• daytime drowsiness and earlymorning awakenings are normal in later years; or
• little can be done for menopauserelated sleep complaints.
The afflictions that often accompany age are a bigger factor in troubled sleeping than old age itself, "not a subtle distinction," insisted Andrew Monjan, PhD, chief of the neurobiology of aging branch of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), Bethesda, Md.
An NIA study, Monjan said, found that more than half of 9000 communityliving persons aged 65 years and older reported trouble in such areas as falling asleep or staying asleep, waking too early, needing to nap, and not

How to Copy an Essay Without Your Teacher Finding Out
Ever want to get out of writing an essay or paper? It's possible to copy and paste an essay without your teacher ever finding out, leaving you free to spend your time doing other things.
1Go on the Internet and find an essay or a write up or something about your topic and copy and paste it into a word processor.
2You must change some words around in the essay, so if the teacher checks it, it wouldn't come up in Google. If the teacher checks every sentence then you might have to change a word in every sentence. This however could still get you busted if the sentences are too similar. If you want to make sure paraphrase (reword) the essay. That way you only have to retell the information, you don't get caught, you can use the original bibliography and don't have to research for yourself. On top of that you'll also have learned a little about the subject without putting too much effort into it.
3If you copy directly make sure that the font and format are the same. A common mistake is writing Times New Roman for what you wrote, and when you copy something it was in Arial.
4Make it all one color and hide or remove any hyperlinks. If you are emailing it to your teacher, right click on hyperlinks and deactivate them.
5Make sure nothing is bold or in italics.
6If you have a bit more time try to find an essay on the same topic and stick bits of that in as well. Don't forget to change words on this one too though.
7Add in some information of your own. Most teachers can recognize a vastly different writing style.
8Hand it in and pray the teacher doesn't find out.
9Understand that if you get caught plagiarizing, it does actually stay on your academic record, and this means if you decide you want to go to graduate school, you've basically screwed yourself.
10Know that most teachers can smell stolen writing from a mile away; the essay won't sound like you, no matter what you do.
11If you put half the effort of cheating into actually writing your own work, you'll probably do just fine.
12One more way to do this is to search the essay topic on another language. If you live in Spain, but you're good at English, look up the topic in English. Millions and millions of people speak English and write essays in English on the Internet, chances are that you will probably find something. This totally works the other way around. Even if you don't speak any other language but say English, go to Google translate and find the topic, then look it up and translate it again. Make sure everything that's translated makes sense and is written properly and that the grammar is flawless, cause even Google can be wrong. Your teacher will probably never think of looking the topic up on another language and you will most likely never get caught. Don't share this with too many people though, cause if the word goes around your school, teachers will start checking and you might get in real trouble.
Community Q&A
- Make sure all the words in the essay are ones you understand.
- Make sure you use a font that is slightly unprofessional, because one like that would never be used on a website.
- Don't tell anyone about it, even someone you trust because this is private, and you don't want the teacher knowing.
- Put at least one common spelling mistake in your essay, prove that the writing is truly yours!!
- Change the language a little if it is too sophisticated and with old English.
- Comment to the teacher on how you found the essay to seal the deal.
- There are many programs that professors use now that calculate how much of your paper came from a website. Simply changing a few words will not protect you.
- Don't list the website you copied it from in your bibliography!
- If you do this a lot you'll eventually get caught and there will probably be a very harsh punishment, if it's a small essay, just do it.

Cosmology@Home lets you volunteer your spare computer time (like when your screen saver is on) to help search for the model which best describes our Universe and to find the range of models that agree with available cosmological and particle physics data.
Like ordinary matter, dark matter interacts gravitationally with ordinary matter and radiation. Astronomers study the distribution of dark matter through observing its gravitational effects on ordinary matter in its vicinity and through its gravitational lensing effects on background radiation. The background image shows the bullet cluster, a famous example where the visible matter does not follow the mass distribution.
Combining all the available evidence, dark matter represents about 83% of the matter content of the universe. Read more about dark matter on this web page. Let us know your questions and comments on the message board.

"Broadway - maybe Cotswolds" Top 5 Page for this destination Broadway by iandsmith
Broadway Travel Guide: 93 reviews and 153 photos
If one is being totally pedantic, Broadway doesn't fit into the Cotswolds but, for all practical purposes, it is a part, and a pretty one at that.
On a personal note I wish that I had visited Broadway first, I feel that I would have gotten more out of it if I had. After driving around narrow country lanes for two weeks you could be forgiven for thinking that I'd be overjoyed with a nicely proportioned and expansive main street but, for me, it detracted slightly from the experience.
Having been to Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and the Slaughters I missed that little stream flowing astride the main street and the narrow lanes departing into the fields.
This should not deter you from going here though as the architecture is up to the classic Cotswolds mould and the place has an well kempt air about it, borne, one suspects, of the affluence of its inhabitants.
- Pros:Lovely architecture, good base for day trips, very tidy

2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
I'm five foot and have the greatest visibility I've ever had with any car in the Miata. Has strong headlights, amazing steering, quick and easy to put the top down (at a traffic light. The Miata is small, elegant and always smiling. Greatest car ever and would recommend it to anyone who is under 6'2".
It has strong headlights, and easy to put down top, accelerates quickly, nice short shift for manual.
To make the Miata handle even better get stiffening bars.
2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
I am a suspension and handling addict and this car answers the call and more. I have the six speed with Bilstein shocks and limited slip differential in triple black. For me the car has just the right horse power as I enjoy using the six speed to make the car go rather than just hitting the gas. I enjoy the interaction with the car and the road especially with the top down.
I really like the black leather with the black exterior and the sports supsension adds to the fun. It feels like the harder you take a turn the more traction and stick you have. Do not need traction control-keep experience pure. ABS is one saftey exception for me
I do not like the cumbersome installing of the cover. Plus a more effective wind screen behind driver and passenger along with auto sound adjustment with six disc cd in dash would be great. Also I would prefer a maximum performance summer tire as an option with sports suspension.
2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Gets appreciative looks. More elegant and cheerful than recent redesign. Never enjoyed driving more, but chronic back injury (herniated disc) with tiny interior: makes me wonder if I will have to sell. I'm 6'2". Seats are like 90 degrees; no lumbar support. Road can be harsh - avoid potholes, speed bumps. Pebbles make lots of noise. Sound system with road noise -- tinnitus. Right elbow opens cup holder, right knee can't straighten. Fixed wheel position. Visibility only fair with top. Automatic shifter very stiff after starting. Heater, AC, wipers good. Cornering easy, fun. Accelerates well. Top easy to operate. Sound system is good; allows adjustment of midrange. Top latch replaced.
Gorgeous color (teal mica). Gorgeous exterior design. Cornering/turning circle. Fun! Top is easy to operate. This car makes me smile. Automatic transmission (less hassle than manual). Responsiveness.
Better seat angle for tall drivers. Lumbar support. Adjustable steering wheel. Quieter interior with top down. Feedback for gas cap release. Better fuel economy. Blue gauge color, not red. Less plastic in interior. A way to deal with noise from little stones?
2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
This is a car made to be driven with the top down. I even drive it topless in cold weather as long as it is a nice sunny day. If it gets chilly I turn on the heater. Put the top up and the car suddenly feels cramped and confined. The Miata handles great and accelerates surprising fast. It also brakes quickly to a stop in a pinch. I am using the Miata to teach my teenagers to drive a 5 speed and it is well suited for that due to its size and easy clutch. I find that the car is at its best on the winding backroads at speeds where you can take in the scenery and enjoy the outdoors. I am not crazy about driving it topless above 70 mph as the wind and noise pick up significantly.
Highly maneuverable, easy to park, great visibility with the top down, very reliable and economical on gas. Perfect for running errands around town or just a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Think of it as a four wheeled motorcycle. The LS options are nice to have but I could live without them.
It would be nice if the driver's seat went back an extra inch or two. It can be cramped for anyone six feet or taller. The parking brake gets in the way if you want to rest your leg against the console when the cruise control is engaged. Flip the sun visors down and you have to duck to see forward.
2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
My wife told me it was my time to get the new car, and we have both wanted a Miata since its inception. Absolutely the best car I have ever owned. FUN, FUN, FUN. Went on vacation to the Grand Canyon from Texas (top down almost all the way), got 30 mpg on the average, and that is at 75 most of the time on the highways. But, the best part was the great view from having the top down and the wind in our hair. I drove the whole way and did not get to where I was uncomfortable at all, (5'11- 180). Have had zero problems and don't expect any.
Convertible first of all. Quickness, handling, and looks from so many people. Great to drive.
You have got to be kidding me.

Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is narrowing of the arteries to your heart caused by a buildup of plaque. Plaque is made up of cholesterol and other substances. The narrowing in your arteries decreases the amount of blood that can flow to your heart. This causes your heart to get less oxygen.
Call 911 for any of the following signs of a heart attack:
- Squeezing, pressure, fullness, or pain in your chest that lasts longer than a few minutes or returns
- Discomfort or pain in your back, neck, jaw, stomach, or arm
- Shortness of breath or breathing problems
- A sudden cold sweat, lightheadedness, dizziness, or nausea, especially with chest pain or trouble breathing
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have chest pain that is more frequent, or you have chest pain at rest.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Cardiac rehabilitation:
Your healthcare provider may recommend that you attend cardiac rehabilitation (rehab). This is a program run by specialists who will help you safely strengthen your heart and reduce the risk of more heart disease. The plan includes exercise, relaxation, stress management, and heart-healthy nutrition. Healthcare providers will also check to make sure any medicines you are taking are working.
You may need any of the following:
- Blood pressure medicines are given to lower your blood pressure. These medicines may include ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers. ACE inhibitors help keep your blood vessels relaxed and open, which helps keep blood flowing into your heart. Beta-blockers keep your heart pumping strongly and regularly. This helps keep your heart from working too hard to get oxygen.
- Cholesterol medicines help lower blood cholesterol levels.
- Nitrates , such as nitroglycerin, relax the arteries of your heart so it gets more oxygen. They help to relieve your chest pain.
- Antiplatelet medicines , such as aspirin, keep platelets from sticking to a damaged part of your artery. Platelets are a part of your blood that stick together to help heal injuries. They may cause a blockage in your artery and keep blood from flowing to your heart.
- Blood thinners help prevent blood clots. Examples of blood thinners include heparin and warfarin. Clots can cause strokes, heart attacks, and death. The following are general safety guidelines to follow while you are taking a blood thinner:
- Watch for bleeding and bruising while you take blood thinners. Watch for bleeding from your gums or nose. Watch for blood in your urine and bowel movements. Use a soft washcloth on your skin, and a soft toothbrush to brush your teeth. This can keep your skin and gums from bleeding. If you shave, use an electric shaver. Do not play contact sports.
- Tell your dentist and other healthcare providers that you take anticoagulants. Wear a bracelet or necklace that says you take this medicine.
- Do not start or stop any medicines unless your healthcare provider tells you to. Many medicines cannot be used with blood thinners.
- Tell your healthcare provider right away if you forget to take the medicine, or if you take too much.
- Warfarin is a blood thinner that you may need to take. The following are things you should be aware of if you take warfarin.
- Foods and medicines can affect the amount of warfarin in your blood. Do not make major changes to your diet while you take warfarin. Warfarin works best when you eat about the same amount of vitamin K every day. Vitamin K is found in green leafy vegetables and certain other foods. Ask for more information about what to eat when you are taking warfarin.
- You will need to see your healthcare provider for follow-up visits when you are on warfarin. You will need regular blood tests. These tests are used to decide how much medicine you need.
- Take your medicine as directed. Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
You may need to return for other tests. You may also be referred to a cardiac surgeon. Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Manage CAD:
- Do not smoke. Nicotine can damage blood vessels and make it more difficult to manage your CAD. Smoking also increases your risk for heart attack. Do not use e-cigarettes or smokeless tobacco in place of cigarettes or to help you quit. They still contain nicotine. Ask your healthcare provider for information if you currently smoke and need help quitting.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise at least 30 minutes each day, on most days of the week. Exercise helps to lower high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It can also help you maintain a healthy weight. Ask your healthcare provider about the kind of exercise you should do and how to get started.
- Maintain a healthy weight. If you are overweight, talk to your healthcare provider about how to lose weight. A weight loss of 10% can improve your heart health.
- Eat heart-healthy foods. Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your meal plan. Choose low-fat foods, such as skim or 1% fat milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt, fish, chicken (without skin), and lean meats. Eat two 4-ounce servings of fish high in omega-3 fats each week, such as salmon, fresh tuna, and herring. Avoid foods that are high in sodium, such as canned foods, potato chips, salty snacks, and cold cuts. Put less table salt on your food.
- Limit or do not drink alcohol. A drink of alcohol is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of liquor.
- Manage other health conditions. Follow your healthcare provider's advice on how to manage other conditions that can affect your heart health. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. You may need to take medicines for these conditions and make other lifestyle changes.
- Ask if you should have a flu vaccine. The flu can be dangerous for a person who has CAD. The flu vaccine is available every year in the fall.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups 8/18/14: Masterson Settling in With St. Louis
With another week gone, we're that much closer to the fantasy baseball playoffs. If you're fortunate enough, you've already clinched a postseason berth and are now trying to get the top seed. If you're on the bubble like most, each matchup is crucial. Take a look at our waiver wire pickup suggestions for this week.
Justin Masterson: SP, St. Louis Cardinals (FanDuel Price: $6,100)
It's taken Masterson a few starts to get his feet underneath him with the Cardinals, but he finally hit his stride August 13 against the Miami Marlins. The right-hander threw seven shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out three en rout to the victory. I mentioned this trade should eventually increase Masterson's fantasy value, and he's worth a shot against the Cincinnati Reds.
This would be a risky move, but could pay dividends. His seven-inning performance against the Marlins was the first time he went that deep into a game since June 19. This could be the confidence boost needed for him to return to All-Star form. He resides on just 43 percent of Yahoo! rosters and that number drops to 26.1 percent in ESPN leagues.
Jason Vargas: SP, Kansas City Royals (FanDuel Price: $6,600)
Despite some scratching their heads when KC inked the southpaw to a four-year deal, Vargas has delivered this season. He's 9-5 with a 3.27 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 96 strikeouts in 143.1 innings pitched. His last start was one of his most impressive, tossing a complete game shutout against the Oakland Athletics, surrendering just three hits while striking out four.
Minnesota has a collective line of .247/.311/.367 this season against left-handers, so this proves to be a good matchup for the Royals. They've been playing some great baseball, leaving the possibility of Vargas getting enough run support a solid possibility. He's on 35 percent of both Yahoo! and ESPN rosters.
Cliff Pennington: SS, Arizona Diamondbacks (FanDuel Price: $2,800)
Did your team just take a hit with Troy Tulowitzki's season-ending surgery and weren't quick enough to scoop up Javier Baez when he made his debut? Pennington is the ultimate waiver wire pickup right now. Didi Gregorius is also on the MLB roster while Chris Owings works his way back from a stint on the disabled list, but Pennington is hot at the plate right now. He's hitting .350/.458/.600 with a triple and home run over the past week.
If you need some time to figure out what to do at shortstop, he's a great filler for the time being. He's currently on a six-game hitting streak and has registered multi-hit games in five of his last 10 appearances. He's on 3.3 percent of ESPN leagues and only one percent of Yahoo! leagues.
Brock Holt: 3B, Boston Red Sox (FanDuel Price: $2,700)
While Holt hasn't been tearing the cover off the ball for the Red Sox, he's been a model of consistency at the top of the order. He's hitting .289 over his last 10 games, getting a hit in each and scoring 10 runs. He's only hit five home runs and collected 25 RBI in 373 at-bats, but has hit 22 doubles and five triples in the process. Boston will be home all week against the Angels and Mariners, where he's hitting .307/.365/.429 in 189 at-bats. He'll be facing a couple lefties in C.J. Wilson and Garrett Richards, but Holt has posted a .310/.357/.437 against southpaws this season.
His versatility also makes him attractive, having eligibility at first base, third base, shortstop and outfield. He's owned in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues and nearly 55 percent in ESPN leagues.
Travis Snider: OF, Pittsburgh Pirates (FanDuel Price: $3,000)
With Andrew McCutchen on the 15-day DL, a spot in the outfield will remain open for the hot-hitting Snider. The 26-year-old is hitting .371 over his last ten games, including three home runs, seven RBI and five runs scored. The Pirates already have a very talented outfield, but Snider's emergence provides some much-needed depth at the position when the organization needs it most. Also a left-handed hitter, he's hit southpaws well in limited opportunities this season, posting a .346/.393/.538 in 28 at-bats.
Not many have taken advantage of his hot streak yet, with only nine percent of Yahoo! leagues and 12 percent of ESPN leagues having him on a roster.

To the editor:
Well, it's summer and not only does the weather become hot, some topics might qualify as well.
To the editor:
After having attended the past two board meetings of the Anderson County Health Department, I have come to the conclusion that we can no longer afford this big-spending director.
The first meeting I attended he was proposing to raise taxes and stated that he would probably have to cut his staff.
Of course this was after he had spent over $60,000 for new furniture and a top-of the-line kitchen.
This was done without consulting the board or getting bids on the furniture. Someone with the state told him it was OK.
Close your eyes, and picture hope.
Harder than it reads, isn't it?
Hope is a thing intangible, like you're trying to pin down a wisp of smoke.
We lose hope, raise hopes, hope against hope. But like its abstract cousins love, jealousy and forgiven ess, it's easier to say the words than to wrap our minds around exactly what hope is.
Column as I see 'em …
The story I wrote this week about the attorneys in the Beasmore trial not having city and county business licenses isn't meant to embarrass or single them out.
Instead, it's to highlight the fact that far too many companies that don't have offices here skirt the law that requires them to be properly licensed.
And what really burns my biscuits is that it appears the majority of those practice white-collar professions.
Living in Arizona for 23 years gave me a lot of insight into heat. As a park ranger I saw a lot of its effects. Visitors would always, always say, "but it's a dry heat." My reply, "so is an oven."
High heat takes a toll on all living things.
If you work outside in this heat, my advice is to drink lots of water and eat ketchup and/or bananas. The potassium helps. If you have plants in the ground, then mulch and water is the best reviver.
We need to capitalize on tourism
"The tourists are coming, the tourists are coming!"
With all due apologies to Paul Revere, William Dawes and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, let the rallying cry ring out; for indeed the tourist are coming.
Accents cling to me.
I don't invite them in. It just happens, every time I move and anytime I constantly hear a specific regional dialect.
Chameleons change color. Tigers stalk prey in striped fur to match their dark jungle habitat.
Speech becomes my camouflage.
As I adjust to living here, I've caught myself falling into a Southern dialect when I'm talking. Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't mind having a Kentucky accent.
I'm just never consistent.
Column as I see 'em …
"Am I that detestable?" I asked a friend. "Do you really think people would pay money to throw baseballs at me and knock me into a tank of water?"
"Yes," he said. "Given the things you write, there are people who will empty their bank accounts to buy chances to throw balls at you, just on the odd chance that one will bust through the screen and hit you in your big mouth."

As a Superfund Site, the Gowanus Canal Will Take Ten to Twelve Years to Clean Up
The city claims its own plan would have been much faster.
Today the Environmental Protection Agency declared the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn to be a Superfund site — that is, one of the most hazardous waste sites in the nation. By assigning that designation, the EPA hopes to ensure that the groups responsible for polluting the area, rather than the taxpayer, pay for its cleanup. According to their research, that includes "National Grid (the successor company to Brooklyn Union Gas), Consolidated Edison, the city of New York, the U.S. Navy, and Chemtura Corp," the last of which definitely sounds like the kind of place that would pollute a river, if it were run by a mad scientist from a comic book. But the city, and local group Clean Gowanus Now, had hoped to work with developers to fix the area's problems much more quickly. The EPA argued that the city's plans were not sufficient, and now planned developments for the area have been scrapped. But never fear! That little abandoned shack you bought and cleaned up with your very own flipper hands will still be worth a mint — in ten to twelve years!
Gowanus set for 10-12 year Superfund cleanup [Crain's NY]

We had a problem sometime ago with PDF file on our WordPress Network.
Opening small PDF (50k at most) would take many minutes.
We end up figuring that the problem came from the gzip compression.
We are now using
if($mimetype == 'application/pdf'){
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
in ms-files.php
We now have many WordPress network on apache or on nginx, but we still have the problem on all of them.
I can't seem to find other people with the same problem, are we doing something wrong on our server or is this a real issue?

Eyewitness to Trayvon Martin Shooting Offers Account of Fatal Struggle
The witness says he watched the struggle from a window when the gun fired.
Speaking anonymously to Anderson Cooper by phone, the witness (whose voice is distorted but sounds like a man) says he observed the struggle between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin from a window. The distance of that window from the men was unspecified to protect the person's identity. The witness says that with a view impaired by darkness, he saw two men scuffling on grass and heard two cries for help.
"I couldn't see a lot of movement," he says. "It was very dark. But I felt like they were scuffling. And then I heard gun shots, which to me, were more like pops than like a bang." Cooper clarifies that indeed the witness means pops, plural.
Cooper also probes the eyewitness about the dynamics of the struggle, attempting to get at which man appeared to be on top during the fight, which would tend to suggest which man was the aggressor, or so the attorneys can argue.
"You believe the shooter was on top?" Cooper asks.
"I can't really say, because it was so dark. I'm just saying in your head, you're thinking, when you see now a couple seconds later, in the dark you see the person that's alive walk away, you know you obviously go, 'Okay, he must have got up. He walked away.' When the other person is laying there face down."

I've just cloned a PC (Win7 + SysPrep + CloneZilla) and after starting up the new clone, Win7 wants to be reactivated again and the video driver seems to be missing (as in the aero effect has disappeared from the new clone) and the internet connection settings seem to be missing too.
All those were set in the master before running SysPrep.
Why have these settings been lost?
The master PC was had windows 7 activated using a volume license key, and the clone pc is the same make and model as the master computer.

JOLIET, Ill. -- Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne is ready to go racing.
The 20-year-old Bayne said Friday he feels fine and his goal Saturday night in the STP 300, a Nationwide series event at Chicagoland Speedway, is simple: to win the race.
Bayne hasn't competed since April 23 after fighting a mysterious illness. And even though he spent time at the Mayo Clinic, doctors weren't sure of the causes of the inflammatory condition. Symptoms included impaired vision and initially some numbness in his arm.
Bayne told reporters last week that he went through a series of MRI exams, a spinal tap and at one point had 16 needles in him.
Now he's feeling much better, has been cleared and had hoped to race last week at Charlotte, but Roush Fenway Racing officials wanted to hold him out one more week.
After car testing in Virginia a couple of weeks ago, Bayne said he knew he was ready to get back to what he loves.
"I didn't feel tired. I didn't feel anything wrong. I felt 100 percent completely, no nauseousness or anything like that. At that point I felt I was ready. That's why it was a little frustrating not getting to race Charlotte," he said.
"Now I have no fears or worries or anything. I feel 100 percent and in the car I feel fine. I think this weekend will be a good test for that."
The field for the Nationwide race includes Sprint Cup veterans Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards, along with Danica Patrick, who is making her own return to stock cars from open wheel racing. She was 10th in last weekend's Indianapolis 500.
Bayne said his mind has been on racing since he was sidelined. He said watching his crew work with other drivers last week at Charlotte helped him see his sport from a different angle.
"I have a new perspective on everything," he said.
"It's no more of a desire to win, but it's a different kind of desire and more appreciation for what we get to do and how fortunate we are," he said. "I think coming back this weekend is a less stressed-out Trevor Bayne, but still one that wants to win really bad."
Patrick will be competing in a NASCAR race for the first time since March 19.
"I guess whenever I'm running one series I always get a little bit nervous about jumping back into the other car just because it's a different feeling," she said before practice Friday.
"It really comes down to how the car feels itself and getting used to a slightly different seating position. But other than that it's like riding a bike."
She reiterated Friday what she said earlier in the week: No decision has been made on whether she will make a switch and devote most of her time to NASCAR.
"There's no announcement today and there probably won't be for many months," she said. "It's just the kind of thing that takes a lot of time. I don't really know exactly what's going on at this point. I've just been told to do my job in the race car and drive as fast as I can and get the best results that I can possibility get. And that only helps things.
"Traditionally for me these contracts don't get announced until after the season ends."
