MIDDLEBURY — Fortunately no one was injured when a Toyota Prius crashed through the front window of the National Bank of Middlebury's Court Street branch Monday afternoon, scattering glass in the lobby of the building.
MIDDLEBURY — Members of an ad hoc study committee will tour Middlebury's municipal gym on Sept. 6 to size up a list of needed repairs that could be presented to voters as soon as next spring.
MIDDLEBURY — John R. Beyrle logged thousands of miles over three decades before and during his tenure as U.S. ambassador to Russia. And it was a journey that came full circle on Aug. 17 at Middlebury College, where Beyrle delivered the commencement address for the conclusion of the Middlebury Language Schools' 98th summer session.
Beyrle, 58, studied Russian during the summer of 1975 at the Middlebury Russian School, and he credited that experience for helping lead him toward a career in foreign diplomacy.
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermonters will go to the polls on Tuesday, Aug. 28, to cast ballots in primary elections highlighted by a heated contest between two Burlington Democrats vying for attorney general.
That contest features longtime incumbent Attorney General Bill Sorrell, who is being challenged by Chittenden County State's Attorney Thomas "T.J." Donovan. The winner of that race will go on to face Republican candidate Jack McMullen in the General Election this November.
NEW HAVEN — Addison County Fair and Field Days drew to a close on Aug. 11 following another run that officials called a success in spite of some rain that drenched the site during portions of three days of the annual event's five-day span.
Jim Foster, president of the Field Days board, estimated attendance at this year's 64th annual Field Days was around 15 percent lower than last year's edition. During a good year (like last year), Field Days draws between 25,000 to 30,000 visits, according to Foster.

BRISTOL — A New Hampshire man was listed in "guarded" condition with second-degree burns at Massachusetts General Hospital on Thursday afternoon after driving his tractor-trailer truck off Route 116 in Bristol, resulting in a fiery crash and a massive response from multiple fire departments, rescue organizations and at least one heroic witness.
MIDDLEBURY — At an Aug. 14 meeting, the Middlebury selectboard agreed to contract with DeBisschop Excavating to make substantial improvements to public property bordering the Otter Creek Falls in the Marble Works.
The so-called "Riverfront" project will include the construction of pathways, re-grading and landscape restoration, tree and shrub plantings and new seating and gathering opportunities with a small amphitheater-like environment, noted Middlebury Assistant Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay.

MIDDLEBURY — When Larry Carlson moved into the 25-unit Vergennes Senior Housing project on Armory Lane earlier this year, he was immediately impressed with the accommodations. But as a 71-year-old diabetic, Carlson was concerned about his ability to stay in his new apartment as his medical needs escalate to the point of sending him into the hospital.
MIDDLEBURY — Cassandra Gekas has spent the past few years lobbying state politicians for health care reform as a representative of Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG).
Now the Montpelier Democrat is seeking to become one of those being lobbied in the Vermont Statehouse — as lieutenant governor. Gekas, 30, is challenging incumbent Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott this November.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Sept. 18 will hold its first of two public hearings on a proposed updated town plan that now bears many of the suggested changes offered by citizens at two planning commission hearings held this past spring.

Soccer fans aren't the only ones with a good reason to focus their attention way south of the border on this Fourth of July: The foods of Brazil sizzle with flavor and spice, and mirror the fascinating melting pot that is the largest country in South America.
This populous, geographically diverse country offers ingredients from coastal cities, tropical rain forests, wetlands, and grasslands. From plantation staples of sugar cane and coffee to native ingredients such as cashew fruits, pineapple, and ginger, the Brazilian pantry offers a wealth of rustic tastes and sophisticated pairings. Unlike most other European colonists in the Americas, Portuguese settlers in Brazil frequently intermarried with both the indigenous natives and African slaves, and marriages were also common between Africans and native Indios. The result is a modern-day population more intermingled than almost anywhere else on the planet. Most Brazilians possess some combination of European, African, Amerindian, Asian, and Middle Eastern lineage. This mixing of people brought a mixing of culinary traditions, which, combined with great ingredients, leads to great-tasting food.

Lawyer withdraws in Vt teacher slaying case
ST. JOHNSBURY A lawyer for a woman accused along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher has withdrawn from the case because of a conflict of interest.
On Friday, the judge granted defense attorney Marc Eagles request.
Patricia Prue and her husband, Allen Prue, are accused of abducting and killing Melissa Jenkins after luring her from her home in March 2012. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Eagle had sought to be removed from the case because one of his former clients has become a potential witness for the state.
Eagle said Judge Mary Miles Teachout granted his motion to withdraw.
Patricia Prue previously had asked for a new lawyer, but Teachout denied her request.MORE IN Vermont NewsDemocratic Gubernatorial Candidate Peter Galbraith released a proposal Thursday to quash the...

As a manager there are some crucial communications that need to be made around expectations over the Christmas period. And this communication is a fine balancing act. Fail to communicate any expectations and productivity may tail off as Christmas fever takes over. But be too heavy handed and you run the risk of being considered a Scrooge, and tasks may well be completed but with bitter resentment.
To get this balance right, you need to ask yourself: "How can I give my staff the best Christmas ever?"
This is an opportunity to allow them to enter the holidays with a sense of pride about what they have achieved. What goals and targets can you set that would give you the chance, on Christmas Eve, to say: "Thank you for everything you have achieved, go home, celebrate, you have earned every bit of a brilliant holiday."
The targets do not need to be big or dramatic, but something significant, so your staff leave with a strong sense of personal satisfaction. Showing appreciation is something staff value greatly, above and beyond big Christmas parties or bonuses.
If you additionally feel the need to mark the close of the working year, write each person in your team a personal Christmas card thanking them for something they personally have contributed during the year.
If you have staff working between Christmas and New Year, this is another communication that needs to be made. What could make this a rewarding period for both them and your business?
Normal work may not be possible, so what does this unique period of time provide the opportunity to achieve? Tidy files and records? Reflect, plan and prep for next year? Research and learn? Discuss with you staff members what they want to achieve during this period and plan to acknowledge their application over the holidays and completion in the New Year.
And finally, the most important Christmas communication of them all: what are you planning to say to staff when they return to work after the holidays?
They are likely to come back rested and a little bored. If you have sent them off on the holidays with a sense of satisfaction around their work, they will be returning energised and with positive anticipation for the new year.
This provides a clear opportunity to gather your people together to define some great goals for the next three months. As a manager or business owner you are definitely required to say something. If not, the new year will quickly be forgotten and their productivity will slip, within a couple of days, to last year's everyday norm. If you want something more and different for 2016, you need to create it now.
A new year message like this will need to reference the "why" of your company. What is the fundamental reason for your existence? What difference would outstanding service make to your customers? How is the world a better place for the business's contribution? Then work to discuss and define some enticing goals to achieve in the next three months. Longer goals can also be set, but clearly defined targets for the next three months will mean people are required to take action today to celebrate again at the end of March.
Finally, lead a discussion on the "how". Do not be tempted to state how the goals should be achieved. At this point it will be very valuable to have staff members determine the "how" for two reasons. One, they may come up with better ideas than you. And two, if they think about it, introduce it and argue for it, they have more ownership of the idea and therefore more commitment.
Christmas is a fabulous time. It offers all of us the opportunity for a complete pause and rest. Be sure to harness the energy that it gives in the new year and create a fabulous 2016 for you and your business.

The Forum of Private Business (FPB) is warning business owners to be aware of seasonal dangers that could potentially leave them with "a nasty financial hangover long after the decorations have been taken down".
"With their mix of drink, high spirits and merriment, Christmas parties are still the number one source of potential problems," argues FPB business adviser, Joanne Eccles.
To make sure you and your staff remember Christmas 2013 for all the right reasons, the FPB advises business owners to:
However, putting on a Christmas party does have "an upside for employers", notes the FPB. It says up to £150 per head of the cost of holding the party is an allowable tax deduction and VAT can also be recovered on staff entertaining expenditure.
"No-one wants to put a dampener on the festive spirit and Christmas parties are great for boosting workplace morale and allowing staff to let their hair down," adds Eccles. "But business owners need to take some important precautions if they want to guard against potential litigation.
"Most of the regulations which govern the normal working day also extend to the Christmas party, wherever it might be held, so employers need to ensure they're not leaving themselves open to claims, complaints and time-consuming employee disputes."
Another year over, eh? How did that happen? Seems like only yesterday we were enduring one of the wettest summers on record. Hopefully, it was a great year for you and your business (despite the weather).

Important websites and organisations, including www.gov.uk (the government's main information portal), The Prince's Trust and Start Up Britain, now refer their site visitors to Donut sites for more information, while a range of local councils, universities, chambers of commerce and business support agencies (aka Donut Partners) have their own version of The Start Up Donut. (Want to find out how you can get your own version of this site?)

All the best – The Start Up Donut Team
2009 has been a hectic year for the Start Up Donut. Since launching in July, we've been working non-stop to bring you new features, articles, interviews, tips, blogs and advice on starting and running small businesses effectively.
We'll be recharging our batteries over the festive period, so @StartUpDonut will be away from Twitter until Monday 4 January and this will be the last blog post until then. The Start Up Donut website will be available throughout that time, so you can still get your fix of start-up advice.
We'd like to say a big thank you to our experts, our sponsors and most of all you, our readers. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Christmas underpins profitability for the whole year for most stores. When it comes to preparing for the Christmas season online, "the early bird catches the worm" as they say. Before you know it, the rush to service orders has replaced any consideration on how to optimise sales. Here are some seasonal tips from SellerDeck and some e-store owners to help you get ready.
Prepare marketing ideas early
Whatever your Christmas marketing plans, run some small-scale tests soon. Establish what works, and refine it. If search engines matter to you, optimise in plenty of time.
Keith Milsom at http://www.AnythingLeft-handed.co.uk advises, "We plan ahead for promo emails to various customer groups as they take a while to prepare. We also boost PR with a press release in September."
Can you handle the extra traffic?
If there is anything worse than having no orders, it's having more than you can handle. This just produces dissatisfied customers.
The average etailer gets 30% more orders in November/December. Make sure you can cope with the increase. This includes web hosting, and extra staff for packing.
Bill Stevenson of www.spicesofindia.co.uk advises ordering extra stock and advertising for temporary staff in September. "Last December visitors fell, but conversion rates tripled. We ran out of many Christmas gift sets and could not get new stock. This year we will order a lot more."
Sort your logistics
Make sure your logistics supplier can cope. To avoid missed deliveries, let customers select delivery to their work address.
Robert Johnston of www.gentlemans-shop.com adds, "We email customers their parcel tracking details and confirmation of delivery date. This dramatically reduces calls about deliveries."
Seasonal promotions
"Don't be a bah-humbug! Decorate your site and get into the Christmas spirit," says James Auckland at www.lunaspas.com.
Find creative ways to mark the season. Put gift ideas on your home page, and stock Christmas-themed items. Remember to change the pages on Boxing Day.
Last minute shoppers
Cite a final ordering date for Christmas delivery on every page - highlight when the deadline has passed. You'll need different dates for home and overseas orders.
Drop customers a reminder email, e.g. must order by end of tomorrow for delivery outside Europe.
Customers in a rush
Most online shoppers are in a hurry, particularly at Christmas. Help them out with a search capability that can match by category and price. Text-based searching is no help when you want a gift for less than £10 for your eight-year-old niece.
Another aid for rushed buyers is a gift-wrapping service. It can also increase your margin.
Upsell to maximise the opportunity
Where gifts need additional items such as batteries, ensure they can be ordered together. Suggest similar gifts, and incentivise extra purchases with offers like 'buy two and get one free'.
Thank regulars
James Auckland again: "Thank your suppliers, as well as your regular customers." Good supplier relationships can help resolve problems. Consider offering discount during January to suppliers and good customers.
Keep a sense of humour!
Robert Johnston once had an irate customer repeatedly phoning on Christmas Eve, "about the delivery of his father's missing present. He accused me of 'ruining his Christmas'. Just as we closed, he called to apologise. His sister had signed for the parcel, and dad's present was already wrapped and under the tree."
Advertise January sales
Plan your January sale early. It gives 'value shoppers' a chance to clear all that dead stock for you.
Finally, book a well-earned rest for February. You will probably need it. Just beware of tour-operators trying to up-sell you to something more expensive!

It tells a full story with three acts, it introduces characters we get to know and care about, and it has something it passionately wants to say.
Channels the spirit of Frank Capra in this serio-sentimental fable about a man who loses his memory but finds his soul.
A sweet, visually handsome sermon, but it's too dramatically bland to convert even the converted.
The most indolent waste of screen time since Andy Warhol's marathon shot of the Empire State Building.
Winds up suffocating you with its aura of bogus, store-bought nostalgia.
A mishmash of life-insurance commercials and Ronald Reagan campaign spots, this sexless orgy of self-congratulation is designed to make you feel good about Hollywood, America, and Jim Carrey -- not to mention the nation's motion picture exhibitors, who are praised at one point as the antithesis of Soviet Communism.
One of those movies that makes you feel as if the national IQ was dropping while you're watching it. It's the return of all the homiletic clichés about an America that never existed.

Jun 15, 2013Jim Carrey is one of those comedian/actors who's had more than his share of potential overlooked movies. Whether it's his first commercialJim Carrey is one of those comedian/actors who's had more than his share of potential overlooked movies. Whether it's his first commercial failure, the underrated The Cable Guy, or his excellent turn as Andy Kaufman in Milos Forman's Man On the Moon, it seems like most of Carrey's best movies (with the exception maybe of The Truman Show) are his least appreciated. But, let's face it Man on the Moon received lots of critical praise and even some award nominations when it came out, and Cable Guy certainly has its cult of defenders. But perhaps his best-least-appreciated movie is is Frank Darabont's 2001 homage to Frank Capra, The Majestic. Carrey stars as Peter Appleton, a Hollywood screenwriter who is blacklisted during the 1950s communist witch hunt. After an accident gives him a wicked case of amnesia, Peter winds up in the small town of Lawson, where he is mistaken for another man Luke Trimble, a local hero who was believed to have been killed in WWII. And Peter, not knowing any better, assumes he must be Luke, too. Together with his "father" (Martin Landau), Peter/Luke begins restoring The Majestic movie theater that had been closed down for years. won't get into what happens from there, because it would ruin several of the movie's surprises. But I will say that The Majestic has gotten a bad rap. Maybe audiences were expecting something else from director Darabont, who was coming off The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Maybe the movie lacked a certain cynicism that many people require to distance themselves from having a sincere emotional response to a movie. Maybe it wasn't funny enough (it's not a comedy) or "edgy" enough for Carrey's two audiences. Whatever the reason, the movie never really found an audience. I rather like it, though and I'm not a person who automatically responds to something being called "Capra-esque." Here, I think the description works (clearly, that's what Darabont was going for). But the movie's got more on its mind; it's a tribute to old Hollywood, and a minor history lesson about a pretty scary time in America. Despite his penchant for overselling a moment (a trait especially apparent in his comedies), Carrey makes a likable everyman he's not afraid to be totally sincere and throw his heart into the role. The failure of The Majestic meant that Darabont who is awesome, by the way wouldn't make another movie until 2007. When he did, he went back to adapting Stephen King (The Majestic remains his only non-King-affiliated film) and made damn sure the movie had plenty of cynicism. That movie was The Mist, which was equally overlooked and, in many ways, kind of the anti-Majestic. Audiences rejected that, too. I guess both films were missing the one thing audiences really want: Morgan Freeman narration.… Expand

Vannah Sterling is the MILF to watch in this production. She completely dominates her scene with Prince Yahshua and creams up his pole with her pussy pudding before donating her experienced anus. Totally Tabitha also shines when she takes on two black studs, while Austin Taylor looks incredible with Rico Strong's cock in her mouth.

Isnt it amazing that the largest concentration of the 1 percenters live in the bluest enclaves within the U.S.??
Liberalism is an Elitist mentality, they view the cities they live in as their castles and the poor they pass in the smelly city streets as their serfs that they "graciously" feed with their tax monies like some "benevolent king or queen".
They pass the responsibility of not personally doing something for the poor onto the "benevolent government" that they feel they must support because they are "rulers in their own little kingdom of delusion".
Living in a highrise apartment is like living in a Castle, you are well above all the "little people" who live in suburbs and the lower middle class and middle middle class in the suburbs are like the merchant class of old that they resent because their settlements are encroaching upon their "king's 'hunting' lands" and they feel somewhere in their subconscious that the merchants should live like the poor serfs because the serfs don;t ever dare build themselves up to challenge their own power.
I have over the years see this "Progressive Socialism" as nothing more than a form of "Neo-Feudalism" for the people who believe they are better than everyone else because they learned the secret useless handshakes at the ivory town school their parents paid for. This "Neo-Fuedalism" is just a dressed up version of same old damn story that all tyrants have been selling to their serfs when they tell the peasants that they can live behind the castle walls for their own protection you see, and that the peasants cannot have weapons to protect themselves, the king will because you know they would only hurt themselves you see????
Hang in there, erod. You'll make it. My daughter graduated in '07, worked a year, went back to school at the University of British and earned her masters degree (full boat, too), worked a series of menial jobs making good enough money, landed a contract position at the transit agency doing system planning and then this summer landed a plum job leading a market research team at a major resort. It just takes perseverance and willingness to take whatever comes your way to get started and work your way up. These aren't the easiest times, but winners always prosper.
That's exactly the right question to ask.
Many have said here that the liberals worship a false God - namely, the government. In fact, the government is run by a group of their fellow humans. So, they elevate fallible humans to the role of God - and their 'god' does a lot of smiting, just not of them.
It's pretty obvious why they're so anxious. "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything you have" - Barry Goldwater.
I would really like to thank you for your sharing your thoughts.
I've been trying to formulate arguments on how to present certain information that can change peoples worldview. Or at least get them to start thinking for themselves and begin the process of discovery.
Knowing your audience and where they currently stand is critical and your observations have been great.
So, I'm not going to use the "Neo-feudalism" thing.
I am the type of person that goes into a room and just observes people rather than trying to be the life of the party, but being a bit introverted is good for that sorta thing and my mind never shuts off.
"I recommend suicide for the reward she so richly deserves. "
It would be preferable if her mother had chosen abortion but at this point in time a quick suicide will have to do!
Complete introvert here, but I have no problem getting up in front of a group of strangers and speaking passionately about something I believe.
Won't do it in front of folks I know.
They fear conservatives, because they fear all the possibilities free people would have available to them.
They dont trust free people, because they dont trust themselves.
You hit the nail right on the head. That's why you've had to put up with "the paranoid style in American governance" for so long. The "style" that pegs ordinary law-abiding Americans as "domestic terrorists," to name one obvious example.
Are they liars, or are they psychotic? It's a question that needs to be asked. Unfortunately, either answer doesn't bode much that's good for you.
So, Im not going to use the Neo-feudalism thing.
You can use it if you wish, I see a lot of Big Nanny state Government is nothing more than a fancy dressed up feudalism.

Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline
Book Description
Publication Date: June 1997
In this New York Times bestselling book, Robert H. Bork, our country's most distinguished conservative scholar, offers a prophetic and unprecedented view of a culture in decline, a nation in such serious moral trouble that its very foundation is crumbling: a nation that slouches not towards the Bethlehem envisioned by the poet Yeats in 1919, but towards Gomorrah.
Slouching Towards Gomorrah is a penetrating, devastatingly insightful exposé of a country in crisis at the end of the millennium, where the rise of modern liberalism, which stresses the dual forces of radical egalitarianism (the equality of outcomes rather than opportunities) and radical individualism (the drastic reduction of limits to personal gratification), has undermined our culture, our intellect, and our morality.
Robert H. Bork sounds a very sobering alarm. We can accept our fate and try to insulate ourselves from the effects of a degenerating culture, or we can choose to halt the beast, to oppose modern liberalism in every arena. In the view of Robert Bork, an understanding of our problem and the will to resist may be our only hope.
It's a very tough read, but well worth it.
I also just found this:
Viewing it now.
Cute? Did you actually look above the boob line? Yuck. And the boobs are fake.
There are three dangers in that proposal, for conservatives, that need to be pointed out:
I suggest thinking of ways that your aim be achieved outside of the government. Otherwise, you'll wind up in the same spot that that retired teacher finds herself in.
Maybe. America used to have laws governing obscenity in all it's forms until 40 or so years ago, and the country managed to survive.
Could be serious. If they cannot exercise, San Francisco may slide into the ocean.
A point to mull over: Did America have dominant and self-perpetuating cliques in the popular arts who would have a huge score to settle if the law clamped down on them?
It's not that hard to guess what would happen:
Come to think of it, liberal bias in 1960s news wasn't stopped at all by those laws - nor by the Fairness Doctrine, either.
And the boobs are fake. Does it matter?
I said "use." The GOP sets up such disastrous avenues for ruthless Democrat control in part because it never imagines anyone but itself using those avenues.
Free Speech can be used in the "informal war against filthy words". It used to be that you could call a pornographer a filth peddler and you didn't have to worry about the SPLC calling you this-phobic of a that-phobic...
Restore free speech and end "Politikal Korrectness" and make it socially acceptable to call filth filth.
No kidding! I try to make that point to idiot liberals. They brag about "speaking truth to power". Then what do they do? Try to make that power even more powerful. But it goes right over their heads.
This sleepless "hand-wringing," being described, is only one of a vast array of symptoms.
For laughs, ask one of the dear souls to explain why Obama is important to them? You will find only confirmation of my hypothesis.
William Flax
Good point! Sure it can - and the First Amendment does protect your right to call it as you see it.
When I was writing my warnings above, I actually had the SPLC in the back of my mind. Thankfully, that organization can only smear as of now: it has no legal instruments (that I'm aware of) to punish frankness through the government. But given how they've been acting, they wouldn't hesitate to "advise" any Ministry of Decency.

We were there for a week Apr29-May6. (for anyone wondering what to pack it can be quite chilly at nights) Can't think of any negatives other than free wi- fi only available in reception area, not worth paying daily/weekly rate for it for the odd times we needed it but had to keep going up & down to reception from our room on level 6 to keep in touch with our son in the UK. Good sea views from level 6 although we were on the shaded side(as others previously said, sunny rooms overlook the bowling green on the other side but we were out & about a lot so didn't need to sit out on the balcony).We had a shower over the bath but others told us floors 1-5 had a walk-in shower area, good for canyone elderly or infirm. Plenty of quiet seating areas in all 3 hotels( Don Pablo/Pedro/Marco which are interlinked) and sunbeds outside, with a choice of many pools. Worth going into the other two hotels to check out their decor, public areas and entertainment. There was good mix of entertainment from both outside acts and the resident Entertainment Team who worked hard. As we were at the beginning of the season & a bit quieter,the other two hotels didn't open their restaurants & guests came over to the Don Pablo where it was quite busy but meal times were extensive, there's plenty of food choice, even for a fussy vegetarian like me, and the friendly staff are quick to clear tables and refill food counters. We found all staff pleasant & helpful, our room was a good size, comfortable, and was always cleaned out & beds made by the time we came back from breakfast. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel for it's comfort,staff, food, atmosphere and location right on the sea front.
Anyone wishing to visit Benalmadena/Marbella/Puerto Banus get the lift up to the town centre and find the bus station, (fare to Marbella € 4.44 takes 1 hour then change buses for Puerto Banus)
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

If you have troubles since the update to WordPress 4.5 please read this post before opening a new thread.
Tagged: navigation, width
September 11, 2012 at 3:46 am #16201
The black navigation navigation bar below blog articles (navigate to the previous or next article) uses the full page width in Chrome or Safari but not in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Opera ( screenshot: http://d.visisoft.de/XKXs ). This also happens on the live demo at kriesi.at, so it's nothing I changed.
How can I change it to the full page width in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera?
Thanks for any hints,
MarkusSeptember 12, 2012 at 7:23 pm #90569
Hi Markus,
It looks like everyone except Chrome has an issue with using display:table. The quickest way to fix it would be to make a new rule for Chrome and change the default for everything else.
Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
.post_nav {
html.chrome .post_nav {
DevinSeptember 14, 2012 at 3:02 am #90570
Thanks Devin, but that didn't work. The navigation bar does use the full page width in all browsers now, but the text position isn't correct, except in Chrome ( screenshot: http://d.visisoft.de/7dlY ).
Any more hints?
MarkusSeptember 17, 2012 at 6:42 pm #90571
In that case,
.post_nav {
display: block;
.previous_post_link_align {
display: block;
float: left;
.next_post_link_align {
display: block;
float: right;
And we'll get rid of the table formatting all together. When the theme responds to a different resolution size (mobile or tablet size etc) the links will no longer span the entire column anymore since they float inside the container, but they shouldn't have any other major issues.
I'll send the bug over to Kriesi and see if we can get a fix in the next theme update.September 17, 2012 at 6:55 pm #90572
Thank you Devin,
it worked, the navigation bar is now displayed correctly in all tested browsers.
Please let me use this opportunity to thank kriesi.at for creating this awesome looking theme and for your product support!September 17, 2012 at 7:03 pm #90573

Put Drew Foster anywhere on the offensive line, and he'll know just what to do.
Since his start with football in fifth grade at Immanuel Lutheran School, Foster has spent time at center, guard and tackle. He is in his second season starting on Seymour's line.
"This year, I started at tackle the first game, and then Jeremiah (Tracey) got hurt, so I moved to guard, and I played center some," Foster said.
Knowing the responsibilities at each position has helped him become a better player.

This monograph is an excellent attempt to analyze and explain the deficient physiology of patients with cardiac lesions (valvular and myocardic) in the light of recent physiologic researches on circulation, on blood, and on muscle physiology, notably those of Henderson, Hill, Meyerhof, Barcroft and others. The monograph contains, in addition, a good deal of experimental work on patients by the authors themselves. Most of these experiments deal with the oxygen required in rest and under measured work by patients with cardiac deficiency as compared to normal human beings. The report in the majority of such patients is higher oxygen requirement during rest and a much higher oxygen requirement during work as compared to normal men. The authors endeavor to explain this deficiency by an upset in the lactic acid metabolism in the body muscles due to more or less chronic asphyxia.
The monograph deals with the following main topics in

Here's the first of several selected readings from Yin Binyong's X?nhuá P?nxi? Cídi?n (???????? / ????????). It covers the writing of verbs.
This reading is available in two versions:
For those who would like to read about this in English, see
X?nhuá P?nxi? Cídi?n (???????? / ????????), is the second of Yin Binyong's two books on Pinyin orthography. The first, Chinese Romanization: Pronunciation and Orthography, is in English and Mandarin; much of it is already available here on Pinyin.Info.
Although Xinhua Pinxie Cidian is only in Mandarin, the large number of examples makes it easy to get the point even if you may not read Mandarin in Chinese characters very well.
This week I will begin posting some excerpts from this invaluable work. What's more, I have made a version in traditional Chinese characters, which I hope that readers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and elsewhere will take advantage of. So those not used to reading simplified Chinese characters will have a choice (which is more than the government of Taiwan is providing these days).
I'm extremely happy to be able to bring you this information and wish to acknowledge the generosity of the Commercial Press. Stay tuned.
Taiwan's government Web sites have begun removing versions of their content in simplified Chinese characters at the instruction of President Ma Ying-jeou (M? Y?ngji?).
This isn't just a matter of, say, writing "??" (Taiwan) instead of "??" (which, yes, the government here is encouraging). This is much bigger. Entire pages, entire Web sites even, written in simplified Chinese characters are being eliminated.
The Tourism Bureau, for example, removed the version of its site in simplified Chinese characters from the Web on Wednesday. This comes at a time that the government's further lifting of restrictions against individual Chinese tourists is aimed at bringing in more travelers from China.
The Presidential Office's spokesman quoted Ma as saying "To maintain our role as the pioneer in Chinese culture, all government bodies should use traditional Chinese in official documents and on their Web sites, so that people around the world can learn about the beauty of traditional characters." (Is that what pioneers do? I'll try to find the original Mandarin-language quote later if I get a chance.)
It's one thing to urge businesses not to remove traditional Chinese characters and replace them with simplified Chinese characters (as the government did on Tuesday). It's quite another to remove alternate versions in another script — one that a very sizable target audience would have an easier time with.
During the administration of President Chen Shui-bian the government began adding versions in simplified Chinese characters of the Mandarin texts of official Web sites. The Office of the President was one such site. Now the simplified version is gone. That's happening across government sites.
Here, for example, are some screen shots I took.
This was the language/script selection at the National Palace Museum's Web site as of Thursday morning. (Click to see an image of the entire front page.)
"????" (ji?nt? Zh?ngwén) is brighter because I had my mouse over it to highlight that text.
And here the language/script selection at the National Palace Museum's Web site as of Thursday evening:
As you can see, the choice of viewing the site in simplified Chinese characters has been removed.
Here at Pinyin.Info I often have material in Hanyu Pinyin. So I'm certainly not unsympathetic to the idea that sometimes the medium really is a major part of the message. But I doubt that President Ma's tough-love approach in this area will accomplish anything useful for Taiwan or the survival of traditional Chinese characters; indeed, I believe it will be counter-productive.
To be more blunt about this, this seems like a really, really bad idea.
some sources:
Behold, I bring you good tidings.
As I keep having to note, most of the things that are supposedly in Pinyin are terrible. This is not because Pinyin itself is inherently poor or difficult. It's because most people who produce such things have a fundamental lack of understanding of Pinyin as a system. (And, yes, that includes most users in China.) So it is with amazement that I report today on a journal that not only offers dozens of pages in Hanyu Pinyin — good Hanyu Pinyin — but does so twice every month. It's also well worth noting that the journal is aimed primarily at adult native speakers of Mandarin, not foreigners trying to pick up the language, though certainly it could also be read by people in the latter group.
From what I've seen so far, this journal gets right the things most commonly written incorrectly elsewhere, including:
And it doesn't use the atrocious ɑ that some people mistakenly believe is required either.
Unfortunately, punctuation and alphanumerics are not included in the Pinyin. But other than that there's very little that doesn't follow standard Pinyin orthography, the main exception being the indication of the tone sandhi related to the special cases of yī and bù, (e.g., the journal gives "bú shì" and "búdà" instead of the standard "bù shì" and "bùdà," and "yìhuíshì" and "yí wèi" instead of the standard "yīhuíshì" and "yī wèi"). That said, though, tone changes related to yi and bu can be something of a pain. So although this isn't standard, I can see why it was done and am not entirely unsympathetic to this approach.
Here are a few sample lines (click to enlarge):
It would be nice if this were in Unicode, to help aid searches and cutting and pasting. The text, however, appears to have been made in a system devised years ago by the people at the journal. Regardless, I'm happy to see the Pinyin.
Overall, despite the lamentable absence of punctuation and Arabic numerals in the Pinyin, this is quality work, which is perhaps all the more remarkable in that the Pinyin and simplified Hanzi edition of this journal is not truly free to circulate in the land of its target audience. That's because its publishers are Jehovah's Witnesses, a group suppressed by the PRC (though it appears that at least at the moment their sites are not blocked by the great firewall). The journal, Shǒuwàngtái, may be more familiar to you by its English name: Watchtower. Whatever you might think of Jehovah's Witnesses, I hope you'll recognize the considerable accomplishment of those who put together this publication.
Getting to the Jehovah's Witnesses Web pages that link to Shǒuwàngtái can be tricky. (Go to the magazines page, select "Chinese (Simplified)" for the language; then choose the month and file with Pinyin.) So I'm providing direct links to some documents below:
I haven't found any Pinyin editions other than those. Perhaps old ones are taken offline.
With thanks to Victor Mair.
China remained the fifth most popular destination for U.S. students studying abroad during the 2008/09 school year, and it continued to account for 5 percent of U.S. study abroad.
In the previous academic year, growth for the PRC as a destination increased 19.0 percent, while study abroad as a whole increased 8.5 percent. But for 2008/09 growth for China was a much smaller 3.9 percent, while the total worldwide figure declined -0.8 percent. Figures for the top four destinations also dropped.
The order of the top 10 remained the same as in the previous year, except Mexico and Germany switched places.
Some other figures of possible interest:
Study in Asia increased slightly.

Previous posts on this subject:
Today, for all you orthography junkies (Hello? Hello? Anybody there?), I have added a selection from the 1963 edition of Hanyu Pinyin Cihui (?????? / Hàny? P?ny?n Cíhuì).
The book, which is fully alphabetized by Hanyu Pinyin (i.e., like the ABC dictionary series, not like the Hanzi-by-Hanzi Pinyin ordering seen in most dictionaries published in the PRC), is a long list of Mandarin words as written in Hanyu Pinyin and Chinese characters. It's meant as a reference for word division and other such orthographic concerns. It's the sort of thing that just cried out to have been made into a full dictionary (especially since that's what it looks like, minus definitions); but, unfortunately, it never was. But it was an important influence on the ABC series.
One can see some interesting instances of differences between Pinyin orthography then and now. For example, in this old edition of Hanyu Pinyin Cihui de tends to be appended to words and written as d, e.g. ái'áid, rather than the current ái'ái de (???). Similarly, zi is written z at the end of a word, e.g. ?igèz, rather than the current ?igèzi (???).
Also interesting is the mixed use of simplified and traditional Chinese characters. (It will be easier to see what I'm referring to if you open the PDF file of the introduction and A's of Hanyu Pinyin Cihui.) The title on the cover is given as ?????? in Chinese characters — perfectly standard. But below this is ??? (z?ngdìng g?o / revised edition); note how dìng is written as ? rather than as ?.
More striking, though, for the modern reader is the script in the foreword. Here, what was written ?????? on the cover is written ??????, mixing traditional and simplified forms. The full traditional version of this would be written ??????. The text of the introduction is similarly mixed. This is because this was published before many simplified forms that are now standard were fully accepted officially.
The selection from this book here on Pinyin.info comprises the introduction and all of the entries beginning with the letter a.
I'm very pleased to announce the publication of a new book, P?ny?n Rìjì Du?nwén, by Zh?ng Lìq?ng. Other than one introductory letter in English, the work is entirely in Mandarin.
This is perhaps the world's first Mandarin-language book to be published in Hanyu Pinyin without so much as one Chinese character. Thus, it is of historic importance. But it's also a wonderful collection of stories. The author generously granted Pinyin.info the right to release all of this book online.
The work will also soon be available in an inexpensive printed edition.
Some of you will recall Zhang's lovely story Dàshu? Guòhòu ("After the Flood"), which first appeared here three years ago. It leads the new collection. The remaining twelve memoirs/stories are mainly in the same vein, recalling a childhood in China and Taiwan.

The author died earlier this year. She was able to view proofs of the work, though her illness prevented her from making any corrections herself. Fortunately, several people stepped in, contributing substantially to the checking of the Pinyin and other aspects of the work. I'd like especially to thank the following people: David W. Goodrich, Jiao Liwei, Kuo Hsin-chun, Melvin Lee, and Victor H. Mair. Any errors found in the book should be considered my own.
Please report any divergences from the Pinyin orthography established by Yin Binyong and the spellings used in the ABC Chinese-English Comprehensive Dictionary (Zhang was, after all, one of the associate editors of that massive work) to me. I've made very few intentional departures from those.
Please note that the use of "d" (where most authors would use "de") is intentional. This is not a bug but a feature, something I came to understand better the more time I spent with this text. The use of "d" is explained in the second introductory letter (Li?ng F?ng G?i Bi?nzh? d Xìn: 2).
About a year ago (which is roughly how overdue this post is), a commenter noted that some Chinese publishers "are convinced that Pinyin must be printed with ? (single-story "Latin alpha", as opposed to double-story a), and with ? (single story; not double story g)."
But does Hanyu Pinyin in fact call for this longstanding Chinese habit of bad typography? This was one of the first questions I asked of Zhou Youguang, the father of Hanyu Pinyin, when I met with him: Are those who insist upon the ?-style letter correct?
"Oh, no," Zhou replied. "That '?' is just for babies!" And he laughed that wonderful laugh of his that no doubt has contributed to his remarkable longevity.
Zhou was referring to the facts that the "?" style of letter is usually found specifically in books for infants … and that this style generally does not belong elsewhere. In fact, ? and ? (written thusly) are often referred to as infant characters. A variant of the letter y is sometimes included in this set.
Letters in that style are also found in the West — but almost always in books for toddlers, and often not even in those. Furthermore, even in those cases the use of such letters appears to have no positive effect on children's reading.
The correct-style letters for Pinyin are the same as those for English, Zhou stated.
I hope that anyone who has been using "?" will both officially and in practice switch to "a". It's long past time that the supposed rule calling for "?" was treated as a dead letter.
Long live good typography!

Cameron Lyle, University of New Hampshire Track Athlete, Gives Up Career To Donate Bone Marrow For Leukemia Patient
Since the tragic events in Boston, the only news we have heard lately is bad news. A story coming out of New Hampshire will hopefully change that.
Cameron Lyle, a senior track and field athlete from the University of New Hampshire, will miss the rest of his career after deciding to donate bone marrow to an anonymous donor later this month.
Like Us on Facebook
Back in his sophomore year of college, Lyle along with other UNH athletes participated in a drive on campus to join the national bone marrow registry. After having his mouth swabbed, Lyle did not think anything of the event and went about his collegiate career on the track team, throwing the discus, shot put and hammer.
It wasn't until Lyle received a phone call from National Marrow Donor Program a few months ago that things started to change. They informed him during that initial phone call that he was a possible match for someone. A few weeks later, the organization called back and told Cameron that he was a 100 percent match. Lyle decided that he would donate his bone marrow which ended his career at New Hampshire.
"They told me it was a one in five million chance of me being a match for a non-family member," Lyle told the Eagle Tribune. "They gave me the timeline and everything's been moving quickly after that."
After Lyle has the surgery, he will not be able to lift 20 pounds over his head for a few weeks. With that limitation, Cameron will be not able to throw the discus, hammer and shot put. He was scheduled to compete in two more meets this season including the America East championship. But Lyle knew the decision he would make.
"I knew right away I was definitely going to donate. I was pretty terrified at first but it is starting to settle in."
Lyle's bone marrow will be going to a 28-year-old male who is suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Lyle and the anonymous recipient must remain unknown to one another due to law.
"He has six months to live and I have the possibility to buy him a couple of more years," said Lyle about the recipient of his bone marrow.
The toughest person Lyle had to tell about his decision was his track and field coach at New Hampshire Jim Boulanger.
"I felt like I was walking into the principal's office had done something wrong," Lyle thought about telling his coach. Much to Lyle's happiness, his coach was behind him.
"I told him, you either do 12 throws at the conference championships, or you give another man a few more years," Boulanger said. "It was easy for me."
The surgery is set for April 24 and Lyle is ready. His mother, Christine Sciacca, will be going with him to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for the procedure. Lyle looks forward to possibly meeting the man he is helping.
"I'd love to meet him some day," Lyle said. "He's not that much older than myself. I just can't imagine what he's going through."

2008 A Very Lucky Boy
posted by November 4 at 13:38 PMon
We're getting lots of email about the electionbut this letter, sent by a reader in California, made me cry.
Four years ago my husband and I adopted a nine-year-old boy. He'd been taken from his biological family when he was three and shuttled through six different foster homes in six years. The three of us have worked very hard to create our family. Our son has added to our lives in ways we could never have imagined. We love him very much.
This year our son, who is now thirteen, came out to us. Our son is gay. We are fine with this.
The amazing thing about our boy is that he goes to school every day and lives his life true to himself. He's a happy child. He writes poetry. He skips. He's a track star. He excels at algebra. He loves the Stylistics. He has a blinding smile. Most of the kids at his school love him. But some of the boys call him "faggot." Yesterday our usually sunny boy, all five-feet-four inches of him, came home staring at the ground, visibly upset. Some of the boys at school were taunting him with cries of Yes on 8, the California proposition aimed at eliminating the right to marry for those who want to marry another of the same gender. The boys were punished by the school, but the damage was done.
Who are these followers of Jesus Christ who would tell my son, taken from his family at three, and homeless until he was nine, that he cannot marry and have a family of his own?
Today my thirteen-year-old son joined me in the voting booth. As I voted for Obama my son put his hand on top of mine. He did the same thing when I voted no on Proposition 8. He was late for school, but I can't think of a better reason.

Given the following directory:
drwx------ 2 joe joe 4096 Jan 11 2010 /home/joe
Is there a way for me as the user root, to avoid accidentally cd-ing into this directory?
I'm not looking for actual permission enforcement, but for some setting (e.g. in the bash shell) that helps the root user avoid such a "private" directory.

The thrust of this study is to understand the responses of anxiety-prone people to threats like natural disasters. It examines whether anxiety influences disaster preparedness, and whether disaster education and resources mediate between anxiety and disaster preparedness. Data were collected from 300 people, each from flood-prone and heat-wave-affected areas in Orissa, India. Controlling for the influence of age and family type, the results revealed that trait anxiety decreased flood and heat-wave preparedness. Further, it was found that disaster education and resources are partial mediators between anxiety and flood preparedness and full mediators between anxiety and heat-wave preparedness. Implications of the findings are discussed within the socioeconomic and cultural contexts of India.

Your number may be blocked if you hear a message such as "The caller is not accepting calls." You may also get a busy signal without any ringing occurring.
To block your phone number and name from appearing on a recipient's caller ID on a single phone call, dial 67 before dialing the phone number. You must redial 67 each time you place a new call as well. The Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009, which was signed into law on December 22, 2010, prohibits caller ID spoofing for the purposes of defrauding or otherwise causing harm.
Just in: cell phone theft is growing in the U.S. In San Francisco last year, nearly half of all robberies involved a cell phone, up from 36% the year before; in Washington, cell phones were taken in 42% of robberies.
Apple provides assistance in locating lost or stolen phones with its free software, which is called Find My iPhone, which can find a missing iPhone or remotely erase data from the missing iPhone. There is also a new nationwide database for stolen cell phones. However, police officials say the database has not entirely helped the ever-rising numbers of phone thefts in the U.S.

Very nice! I doubled it and served it to the kids undiluted as a "smoothie" and they drank it up. Thanks! Reviewed for ZWT4.
What a delicious, healthy, and refreshing drink! My DD's say a special THANK YOU for the yummy cold drink on a hot day! I used frozen mango because I didn't have many ice cubes made. I also used fresh calamansi juice instead of lemon juice. Made for ZWT4 - Go Jefes!
For me, this is an unusual combination of juices/flavors, but it DOES work beautifully for me! Thanks for sharing your drink with me ~ The recipe's a keeper, for sure! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage tag]

Obama Assumes Fighting Stance With 'Attack Watch' Website
The president has a new website and it is serious.
It's still more than a year until the presidential election and Obama's opponent is far from chosen, but that doesn't mean the enemies haven't already been identified. On AttackWatch.com, a new website by Obama for America, three men are presented in ominous, grainy black-and-white photos on the homepage: Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, and Glenn Beck. The accompanying text — white with red accents on a black background — challenges lies and flawed logic under the slogan, "Get the facts. Fight the smears." It is on!
The website is in the style of sites like Politifact and FactCheck.org, but with a decidedly aggressive spin and noted slant. "President Obama's opponents are still using false claims against him and his record in an attempt to derail our momentum," says some of the site's copy, which also includes clarifications on immigration, Israel, gun control, and the bailout. The content is relegated to a news feed, which links to sources like Media Matters and Think Progress for refutation of GOP slams.
A "support the truth" button leads to a donation page. A submissions page is boldly titled "report an attack," keeping with the site's rhetorical twists: It's defense, but it's also offense.
Bright red is sprinkled everywhere in case the seriousness of the battle wasn't already apparent. It's not the most pleasant design job on the web, but it certainly instills a sense of urgency.

As a general pediatrician in the Bronx, I see the dire health and social problems facing young children and families living in poverty. A dearth of decent-paying jobs, lack of affordable and adequate housing, limited availability of quality child care, and deficient educational opportunities have contributed to increased social disparities in our community. Widespread addiction has exacerbated family and community violence and child neglect. Health care is fragmented and inaccessible to many. In the United States, rates of low birth weight, immunizations, and teen pregnancy compare unfavorably with other industrialized nations. Young urban children of color have been notable victims of these circumstances.
In 1991, the Carnegie Corporation of New York established a Task Force on Meeting the Needs of Young Children with the assignment of providing scientific knowledge and offering an "action agenda to ensure the healthy development of children before birth to age three," with a particular emphasis
