Extremely new to installing wordpress. However I thought I had most everything worked out.
I have WordPress 3.0.4 installed on a Windows Home Server Machine running IIS 6.
I believe I have url rewriting configured correctly via Ionics ISAPI Rewrite Filter (http://iirf.codeplex.com/). I believe it's working because navigating to the first sample post results in a working path of "http://schiavone.homeserver.com/blog/2011/01/20/hello-world/", that's "pretty" right? ;)
So here's the issue, I've tried to add a second site. One called "recipes", however navigating to /blog/recipes or /blog/anythingelse brings me to the main site.
My IIRF.ini file (which if I'm understanding correctly is the equivalent to .htaccess in apache) reads:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]
# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

Robyn Veal (McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, University of Cambridge)
"Regional Environmental Economics: Timber and Fuel for Roman Lazio and Campania"
Tuesday, April 8th, 2014 at 5:30 pm
Rhode Island Hall, Room 108
Fuel is a little considered part of the ancient economy, and yet it was required every day to cook food, heat buildings and baths, process metals, and make ceramics, to name the most common uses. It constituted perhaps 20%, or more, of the value of the economy. The provision of fuel is both complementary to, and in competition with, the provision of timber. Both wood and 'non-wood fuels' were used in Roman Italy, and the historic sources on both wood and fuel provide an interesting framework with which to compare the archaeological data. Using charcoal data from several sites in Rome, and Pompeii and surrounds, this paper will examine the fuel economy quantitatively and qualitatively, from the third century BC to the Imperial period.
Robyn Veal's main interests lie in environmental history and economics. Related areas of research include landscape archaeology, climate and topography, and ancient science and technology. She graduated in science, business and arts, before completing her doctorate in archaeology at Sydney on the fuel economy of Pompeii. She held the Ralegh Radford Rome fellowship at the British School at Rome (2011-12) and is currently the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research Anniversary Fellow (2012-2015), at the University of Cambridge. Her current major project is entitled 'Forest exploitation and sustainability in province and empire.' It will compare the fuel consumption of Rome and central Italy with that of Londinium and southern Romano-Britain in the Imperial period. She is also an honorary research affiliate at the Department of Archaeology, University of Sydney and she works with a number of international excavation teams, mostly in Italy (but also in SE Asia and the UK) as an environmental archaeologist and historian.
Carlo Severi (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris)
"Semasiography, Picture-Writing and the Amerindian Arts of Memory"
Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 5:30 pm
Mencoff Hall, 68 Waterman Street, Second Floor Seminar Room
In this paper, Severi argues that the logic of Native American Indian mnemonics (pictographs, khipus) cannot be understood only from comparison with writing, but requires a comparative anthropology. Rather than trying to know if Native American techniques of memory are true scripts or mere mnemonics, we can explore the formal aspects both have in common, and compare the mental processes they call for. In this perspective, techniques of memory stop being hybrids or imprecise, and we will better understand their nature and functions as mental artifacts. This interpretation of picture-writing system can provide for a new perspective on Amerindian semasiographies, both in theoretical and in empirical terms.
Carlo Severi is an anthropologist of memory who serves as the Director of Studies at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris and the Director of Research at CNRS. He pursued his doctoral degree under the tutelage of Claude Levi-Strauss at EHESS, first studying indigenous theories of mental illness and the transmission of shamanistic knowledge among the Kuna of Panama. His work has considered psychology, image,and memory from an anthropological lens, with recent publications including Paroles en Actes: Anthropologie et Pragmatique (2010), El Sendero y la Voz: Hacia una Antropologia de Memoria (2010), and Traditions et Temporalités des Images (2009).

Chicken Pie Recipe Revealed!
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
if i could make a biscuit that would not shatter a window if thrown in that direction, i would love to make this! no matter that i am from the south with a childhood history of delicious biscuits made by the women in my family i have to use bisquick or buy them from a restaurant! sounds yummy!
Dear Edie:
You and your wonderful "Today at Mary's Farm" have been awarded the Kreativ Blogger Award, congratulations! Please come to my blog, http://www.ourgrandmotherskitchens.com, to accept this award.
Here is what the Kreativ Blogger Award asks you to do. If you can't do all of it, don't worry; the award is still yours!
1. Copy the creative blogger logo from my blog onto a post in your blog.
2. Link to me in that post.
3. Mention seven things about you and/or your blog that might be of interest.
4. Mention (and link to) seven other blogs you like.
I had fun doing this; I hope you do, too!
This sounds so good. Nothing better than chicken pot pie. Have never seen Kefir milk in the supermarket, but I'll look for it. I definitely can get buttermilk–I love to bake with it.
Edie, I've got to get your book. Is it available on your website?
Happy eating!
Yes, go to my website, http://www.edieclark.com, and on the home page there is a link that will enable you to order the book. It's in some bookstores but mostly available through the website.
As for the kefir, look in the natural foods section at your supermarket. Or ask them about it. There are several brands. Be sure to buy the plain, not sweetened or flavored. Otherwise, buttermilk is fine (I actually find buttermilk harder to find that kefir!).
Happy cooking!
When I get Yankee Magazine I try to save Mary`s Farm a little while (a tease) but I don`t have much luck-I`am so anxious to get to it-reminds me of when I was a young girl and Edie`s stories so remind me of all the wonderful meals that my Mom and Grandma put on the table – here on Block Island -where I grew up and still live here-There was always Biscuits for Supper no matter what else we had we always had biscuits and often on top of Chicken or Beef Stew-Depression we had a lot of fish here on the Island-I will be making Chicken Pot Pie in the next few days.As Bob Hope would say-"Thanks for the Memories"

The first ownership meeting of the National Basketball League of Canada, which an Oshawa ownership group is in the process of joining, helped paint a more definitive picture of how the league will operate.
Taking place in Toronto, the eight-hour meeting had the Halifax Rainmen, Saint John Mill Rats and Quebec Kebs sharing their experiences and advice on branding, sponsorship, marketing and public relations strategies to help the new franchises get off to a solid start in their perspective markets, says a release from the league.
"We are pleased to report that the majority of our teams have met the requirement of establishing and secured their lease agreements for the 2011-12 season, and are currently in the process of finalizing paperwork for signatures," says the National Basketball League of Canada's Interim President & chief executive officer, Andre Levingston.
The Oshawa ownership group has been engaged with negotiations with the General Motors Centre management in order to sign its lease. Once the league receives signed leases from each ownership group it will begin to finalize the teams' applications for approval, says the release.
League and team management rules were also discussed at the meeting. Rosters will be made up of 10 to 12 players, with a salary cap of $150,000, says a tweet from the NBL. Going forward, returning franchises will be permitted to submit a protected list to the league of five players from the previous season.
The NBL Canada Pre-Draft Combine will be held on August 20 and 21 at Seneca College in Toronto. The first day will be a free agent combine, while the second day will for Canadian players only.
On the night of Sunday, August 21, the NBL Draft will be held at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Draft will consist of three rounds: the first being free agents, while the second and third rounds will be for Canadian players only. All draft candidates must pre-register and attend the combine that pertains to their status to be drafted. The order of the NBL Draft 2011 was established by lottery for the four expansion teams, followed by the reverse order of the founding teams' last season records. The official draft order will be released when 2011-12 NBL teams are formally announced.
Thirty-six regular season games will be played, with each team playing each other during three home and three away games.
The NBL will use International Basketball Federation rules for play, but utilize 12-minute quarters. Playoffs will consist of the top four teams playing a best-of-three series and then a best-of-five series for the championship.
The owners also voted on holding the inaugural NBL Canada All Star Weekend in mid-January 2012, and established a process for cities to bid on hosting.
"This was absolutely the most productive, professional league meeting that I've been a part of in six years of basketball," says the National Basketball League of Canada's Interim Chief Operating Officer Ian McCarthy. "During the meeting, each ownership group expressed their commitment to bringing an exciting product to their market, and to helping us reach our vision of transforming the basketball landscape in Canada."
The league is also extending locked-out NBA players an invitation to come north if their season doesn't begin as scheduled.
"What a great opportunity for NBA players," says Andre Levingston. "NBL Canada can provide them with highly competitive play in professional arenas with great fan bases, while still being relatively close to home."
The NBL boasts several former NBA players in its ranks already. Saint John's is coached by Jaren Jackson, a key contributor during the San Antonio Spurs' 1999 NBA Championship run. Halifax Rainmen coach Mike Evans also spent time as head coach of the Denver Nuggets and as an assistant with the Toronto Raptors.
"I am confident that NBL Canada can give NBA players an environment that will help keep their skills sharp and maintain their physical conditioning until the NBA resumes play," stated Coach Evans.
The league is set to tip-off in November with a 36 game regular season schedule ending in March.

"The most important thing about choosing a fishing rod is to get the one that works for you," says two-time Classic Champion, Kevin VanDam. Simply put, "a 'good' fishing rod is one that helps you fish effectively and efficiently with the lure you are using.
"Too many anglers worry about materials, mechanics and names. Those things are important but the ultimate standard is to choose a rod that performs the task at hand properly. There's really no other way to judge a rod."
He continues by pointing out that if you're throwing a small, shallow running crankbait, you need a rod with the proper action and tip that lets you cast accurately. Precise lure placement matters. On the other hand, if you're throwing a big, heavy deep-diver you need power and a rod that'll let you make long casts. Accuracy is less important.
The same rod no matter how high the quality of its materials and construction won't do the same job. If you do use the same rod for both applications, one of them is not a good rod because it won't perform properly.
That sounds great in theory but there's a practical, real-world problem with it money. Most of us can't afford to purchase a special rod for every type of lure we throw. We have to make do with what our budgets allow.
What to do? VanDam recommends we start with three rods that are acceptable for most applications. He then recommends add-ons based on where we bass fish and our level of experience.
KVD's Basic 3
1. Start with a 6-foot, 10-inch, medium-heavy action baitcaster. That rod will handle most spinnerbaits, crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwater plugs.
2. He also recommends we carry a 7-foot, medium action spinning rod with a high speed reel. That'll work for most finesse applications such as drop shotting, shaky heads and weightless worms.
3. A 7-foot, 2-inch heavy casting rod will round out the arsenal. It'll manage heavy cover applications such as flipping or pitching, and it work frogs effectively.
Those are the basics. They aren't all going to be perfect, but they're a start. Most lures, rigs and applications can be fished effectively in most parts of the country with one of them.
VanDam stresses another factor that he believes is critical to fishing success compatibility. "Every company's rods are different. They all have different blanks, different handles, different guide spacing, different actions, different tips and a different overall feel. It's important that all your rods be from the same company.
"Now, I design rods for Quantum. I think they're the best in the industry. I'd like to see you buy ours. But, if you like another manufacturer's rods better, you should buy them. And I mean buy all of your rods from them. Don't mix and match.
"If you're going to become a better bass angler you've got to be able to cast quickly and accurately with good rods. You can't do that if every time you pick up a rod and reel it takes you 10 minutes to readjust. You can't afford to waste that much time.
"If all your rods and reels are the same, you'll feel comfortable immediately when you switch outfits. I can't stress how important that is to becoming a better anger. It's critical, absolutely critical, that all your rods and reels are from the same company."
VanDam says he can't recommend additional rod choices unless he knows an angler's particular circumstances. "I can't pick another two or three must-have rods unless I know where an angler's going to be fishing and how much experience he or she has," he explains. "Every situation is different.
"In Michigan, where I'm from, there are a lot of shallow, clear natural lakes. And, we fish a lot for smallmouths. Long spinning rods are popular here. If you live in Florida, however, you'll probably need a heavy flipping rod, something that'll get you through the heavy weeds and vegetation.
"When I worked in my brother's tackle store in Kalamazoo R & D Sports Center I frequently recommended anglers not buy additional rods too soon. If you're new to our sport take some time and go fishing. Don't get in too big of a hurry. Find out what works for you and what techniques are popular in your neck of the woods before you buy more rods."
Finally, a word or two about price: According to VanDam you generally get what you pay for with fishing rods. He says the biggest problem with cheap rods is that the blanks and actions aren't uniform. The rods vary from one to another.
VanDam is an angler noted for demanding perfection in every product he endorses. His new Signature Series crankbait rods from Quantum will retail for around $150.

Hi everyone. I just published my first plugin.
If you need an events calendar on your site, check it out and let me know what you think.
Hi everyone. I just published my first plugin.
If you need an events calendar on your site, check it out and let me know what you think.
It killed my computer and wanted me to install Java.
What? At what step did it kill your computer? What asked you to install Java? The plugin doesn't require Java to run.
Dear RZFarrell,
Thanks sooooooooooo much for your hard work!!!!! I just installed your plugin (with WordPress version: 3.0) and I'm now playing around with it - so fare I like most I see.
Thanks again!! :)
PS: Rori, I think your problem wasn't related to cgm-event-calendar?
this is something amazing! the best plugin ever!! :) that's probably because I need something like that, but however its excellent!
there is one more thing I think will be very useful...
to add more then one calendar, like [cgm-event-calendar-id1], [cgm-event-calendar-id2]
so you can put different calendars on different pages.
Now, why that?
because if someone (like me) need to display different kind of events but still keep categories...
page1-calendar sport events: categories= football, basketball, tennis,...
page2-calendar culture events: categories= film, book, music,...
I will be very thankful if you add this feature.
thank you and well done!
I recently installed this plugin and it is spectacular. Has all of the features that I needed and some I didn't even know I wanted. Thanks!
Any word on being able to create two differant calendars? Would love to have that option. We have a main one but would like to have another for just the youth stuff. Great plugin!
Great plug in. The only thing it lacks is the ability to put events without posting a start time. Can we get that function? This would make the plug in hands down the single most useful calendar plug in for wordpress.

The Yahoo Fantasy Premier League Week 1 deadline is fast approaching, so we've taken a look at five players we recommend for your fantasy team this week.
Erik Lamela (Tottenham) / Midfielder / £2.77 million - Branded a £30 million flop last season, Lamela only featured in six Premier League games due to poor form and injury, but is now fit and has stated he is enjoying working under fellow Argentinian Mauricio Pochettino. With two man-of-the-match performances and three goals in pre-season, the winger is looking quick and confident, showing creativity and shooting plenty. At a price of less than £3m in the Yahoo fantasy game due to his dissapointing performances in 2013/14, Lamela should be under consideration for your squad as he's set to start in an attacking midfield role.
Kieran Trippier (Burnley) / Defender / £5m - This may well be a new name to many readers, but Trippier is being tipped for big things. The right-back has been named in the Championship team of the year for the past two seasons and now gets his chance in the Premier League after helping Burnley to promotion last season. The 23-year-old is a solid defender but his strength is getting forward, with plenty of assists, crosses and shots on target - all important contributions that will be rewarded by the Yahoo scoring system.
Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) / Midfielder / £13.26m - It was no coincidence that Arsenal's time at the top of the Premier League quickly came to an end after Ramsey was injured last season. He was outstanding in the early months, creating chances, scoring goals from all angles and his pre-season performances suggest he's back to full fitness and sharpness. The Gunners have a winnable home game against Crystal Palace, so Ramsey should be high on your list of players to consider for your fantasy midfield.
Stevan Jovetic (Manchester City) / Forward / £5.87m - A forgotten man at times last season but Jovetic will need to stand-up in the absence of the injured Alvaro Negredo and with Sergio Aguero not fully fit. The striker been in excellent form in pre-season, scoring goals for fun against the likes of Liverpool and AC Milan, and is priced at an absolute bargain price of under £6m for Manchester City's trip to Newcastle.
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) / Forward / £16.80m - Looking slim and playing well during Manchester United's extensive pre-season tours. With Robin van Persie out injured it leaves Rooney as the focal point of all attacks, he'll be on penalty duty and he should get his fair share of corners and set pieces around the penalty area. Louis van Gaal has handed Rooney the captain's armband which suggests he's been impressed with the striker's attitude and past experience has shown he is at his best when he feels wanted. The top pick of the week for the home game against Swansea.

With her quick wit and effervescent charm, Leah Remini continues to shine on television and in film with roles which showcase her dynamic personality.
Remini was most recently seen on ABC's Dancing with the Stars where she and partner Tony Dovolani were semi-finalists on the immensely popular long running reality series.
For nine seasons, Remini starred opposite Kevin James in the hit CBS comedy series, The King of Queens. The sitcom took place in the working-class suburb of Queens, New York, and followed Doug Heffernan (James), an amiable deliveryman, and his wife, spitfire secretary Carrie Heffernan (Remini), as they explored the everyday challenges of love, life, family and marriage. The show continues to enjoy huge success through daily syndication, now airing in over 33 countries where it keeps finding new audiences.
Remini produced and starred in the one of the earliest and most successful comedic web series, In the Motherhood, opposite Chelsea Handler and Jenny McCarthy which candidly uncovered how mothers deal with "real motherhood problems" inspired by actual situations from moms who have submitted their stories to be shown. She went on to co-produce a series of webisodes for the Suave/Sprint brands under the In the Motherhood banner. The series was highly successful drawing over 5 million viewers to the site. In her first jump behind the camera, Remini co-produced the Inside Out: Leah Remini wedding and baby specials for VH1, which became one of the most successful specials the network had seen to date.
On the big screen, Remini starred in Todd Phillips' wildly popular comedy Old School, alongside Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell. Remini played Vaughn's wife in the film about three depressed thirty-somethings who seek to re-live their college days by starting their own fraternity, and the hilarious tribulations they encounter in doing so.
In 2010, Remini helped launch and co-hosted the first season of CBS' daytime hit talk show, The Talk, which popular female hosts discuss the day's latest headlines and give their opinions "through the eyes of mothers." In addition, Remini recently starred in the ABC series Family Tools, opposite Kyle Bornheimer and J.K. Simmons. A fixture on television since the age of 18, Leah has had memorable recurring roles on series including NYPD Blue, Friends, Saved by the Bell, Who's the Boss?, Fired Up, Evening Shade, and Cheers. She landed her first starring role in the Who's the Boss? spinoff series, Living Dolls opposite Halle Berry, and her first appearance on network television was on an episode of ABC's Head of the Class. Remini got her start as an actress on HBO's anthology series Vietnam War Story.
Remini finds great joy in her philanthropic work with numerous and diverse military, women and children¹s charities. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter.
To connect with Leah Remini, follow her on Twitter and Facebook.

now irritates me to no end. Why would they not have used it up and in m opinion why are they sitting on their hands not buying back more at half the all-time high with store growth of more than 140%.
C'mon....be more aggressive. Oppurtunities like this come so few and far between that when it comes, as greedy as angel and management did(bought back 221M in the last 22 months), this company could seriously have another 200M on top of the current 79M still left for buyback.
Management should take a look at coach and see how they basically for 7 years straight have been buying back stock(more than 4B of themselves in the last 7 years). With UGG PURE as a cushion and basically immediate growth to bottom line for every pair of boots integrated, buying back aggressively is a no brainer.
Management, I want to hear something come earnings in a month.
think of it.. they have that hanging over the heads of the SHORTS,, so if at anytime they try to bring the price down, BAM!, Angel executes a buyback, causing a SQUEEZE!!
They have a 300M credit facility which was executed for the current buyback...they could execute it/should have executed it again after the initial 300M buyback was completed. They would have bought 500-600M of themselves over 3 years, while being valued less than 3B WITH all the growth plans in place.
I'm all for being somewhat conservative, but there are so few times in a companies history to capitalize on market mispricing and buying back more than 20% of yourself.
Earnings will do the talking against the shorts.

ODT Online
ODT /directory
The 7-5 vote of confidence in her leadership came at the
conclusion of a sombre one-hour meeting. The result included
Ms Timms' vote for herself. She said she had taken legal
advice and was informed she was able to vote.
Ms Timms earned the unanimous disapproval of her colleagues
last month when she telephoned Invercargill Mayor Tim
Shadbolt on a regional television talk-back show and posed as
Ruby, a mother of two whose husband had been made redundant
from the Tiwai Point smelter.
The episode earned her strong criticism from some councillors
yesterday. Cr Robert Guyton said she had ''shown a display of
dishonesty'' and could no longer be trusted.
The five councillors who wanted her gone spoke of her lack of
remorse, her breaches of the council's code of conduct, that
she had destroyed her credibility, that what she had done had
affected the public's perceptions of the organisation as a
whole, and that if she stayed she would be trying to lead a
divided council. Several called on her to resign willingly
before the vote was taken.
Cr Brian Mason revealed councillors had asked Ms Timms to
resign at an extraordinary meeting on December 12 but she had
refused. At that meeting, a majority of councillors had
granted her request for six weeks' leave on full pay, a
decision he said had cost ratepayers ''at least $7000''.
Other councillors yesterday said while they did not condone
her actions, one mistake had to be balanced against the good
work she had done in her two years as chairwoman.
Acting chairman Nicol Horrell, who moved the vote of
confidence, said Ms Timms had been a hardworking and
effective chairwoman who had shown one lapse of judgement.
At October's local body elections, all councillors would be
judged, he said.
''Let the people decide then whether Ali or any or us should
stay or go. I am comfortable with that.''
Ms Timms was ''the most competent and professional chairman
Environment Southland had ever had'', Cr Marion Miller said.
She was a good communicator who was meticulous in relaying
information to councillors.
''One mistake is not a hanging offence.''
Ms Timms, who spoke last, apologised for the telephone call,
saying she regretted her ''stupid'' and ''dumb'' actions and
could assure people there would be no repeat.
Asked by the Otago Daily Times afterwards whether she
believed she could effectively lead a divided council, Ms
Timms said she was making no comment.

KEXP pulls out of Tacoma
As reported on KEXP's own site and in the Tacoma News Tribune KEXP is planning to pull out of its Tacoma frequency, 91.7 FM, by the end of the year. The official word is the station wants to "consolidate resources"—rumor has it a big investor pulled out and 91.7 cost the station a ton of money in losses. Either way, Tacoma residents can listen to the station online, but the loss of a clear radio signal from the station is hitting the independant music community down south hard, if conversations on local email groups are any indication. All the more reason for their next pledge drive to pull in donations.

Abuja - The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced on Thursday they are set to begin talks with coach Stephen Keshi over a new contract.
Keshi took over as coach in 2011 and his first contract ended after the World Cup in Brazil. He has since been linked with the vacant South Africa post.
The 52-year-old led Nigeria to the round of 16 in Brazil after guiding the Super Eagles to a third Africa Cup of Nations title in South Africa last year.
"The executive committee mandated the technical sub-committee to open channels of communication with Mr. Stephen Keshi with a view to extending his contract, as the NFF is still interested in working with him," a statement issued by the NFF on Thursday read.
"The technical sub-committee is to report back to the executive committee within a week."
It is now expected Keshi will be given a new deal with his immediate assignment being the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which begin in September.
Defending champions Nigeria are in a qualifying group with South Africa, Sudan and either Congo or Rwanda with the top two teams advancing to January's Nations Cup in Morocco.
Meanwhile, the NFF said they plan a warm-up match for the qualifiers on August 13.

Nudie Jeans
Joel Madden in a Nudie Denim Vest and Hysteric Glamour Cowboy Jeans
Joel Madden was spotted leaving the Andy Lecompte Salon after getting his hair color touched up in Los Angeles, California. He wore a double denim look for the appointment. Joel chose to pair together a Nudie Denim Vest (which I think is their Terry Jacket in Coated Black that has the sleeves cut off) with a pair of Hysteric Glamour Cowboy jeans.
It's been a while since we got a sighting of Hysteric Glamour jeans and it is well overdue. I think their washes are pretty amazing. I also like the details like the studs at the rim of the pocket. You can click here to purchase Nudie at SSENSE.

DenimBlog x SSENSE Top 5 Picks
rag & bone Black Waxed Zipper Jeans.
This post was really fun this month as I got to choose my top 5 picks from SSENSE! I chose 3 jeans, 1 pair of shoes and 1 bag. I also included a pair of jeans for the guys so they didn't get left out! We wanted to do something a little different with our sponsor for this month, so choosing 5 favourite pieces from the entire website made a nice change. I think it's fun to showcase a varied selection of pieces every now and then, than have a styling post each time.
For my choices, I chose the rag & bone jeans because I love waxed black skinny jeans! Those are one of my favourite styles and combining the fabric with the triple hipper zips and ankles zips just makes them perfect! I love these jeans! I also fell in love with the Giuseppe Zanotti heels as soon as I saw them! Burgundy suede is a huge weakness of mine and the style of them is amazing. I can imagine them looking perfect with dark wash skinny jeans.
I chose the Nudie Jeans Thin Finn's because they are one of Nudie Jeans' most popular cuts and I liked the wash. Since it's summer, it's nice to have a mid/lighter wash for more casual wear and these seemed like the perfect choice! I was then smitten by the Proenza Schouler wallet in Lime. I am a big fan of the neon trend, especially in yellow, so this is just the cutest piece to own! Finally, I went for some coloured denim and chose the purple IRO skinnies. I like the fact that they are not block colour, they are washed and faded just like regular blue denim and I think that makes them fun! So these are my top 5 picks from SSENSE, what are some of your favourite pieces?
Giuseppe Zanotti Burgundy Sharon Pumps.
Liam Hemsworth Covers Mens Health in Nudie Grim Tim Jeans
Liam Hemsworth covers Men's Health September 2012 in a pair of Nudie Grim Tim Organic jeans in Dry Navy. One thing I always notice about Men's Health covers, is just how simple they are. They are never over the top and it's always either a plain t-shirt and jeans, or no t-shirt and jeans. It's just more about the content which I find intriguing. I feel like women are more drawn to the photos and pictures on a cover, where as the men are not. Is that just my perception or would you agree?
Robert Pattinson in Nudie Slim Jim in Black
Robert Pattinson posed for some photos with his Twilight co-stars at the Teen Choice Awards a couple of weeks back. He wore a pair Nudie Slim Jim jeans in Black.
I find that Rob, well just about every other member of the Twilight cast, don't really venture too far from their street style when it comes to events. Which isn't bad, it would just be nice to see them brush their hair here and there. On a side note – It's nice to see a pair of Nudie jeans out again.

A black lab was left to die after being thrown out of a car window into oncoming traffic on the west side of Pueblo Friday evening.
But thankfully for Sweetie, she had a guardian angel nearby. Melissa Dunaway's step-kids were playing outside and saw the whole thing. They immediately told Dunaway, who went and rescued the dog.
"[The person] who did this didn't even slow down, and tried to throw her in front of an oncoming car," Dunaway said when she first notified 11 News about Sweetie's ordeal. "Luckily she bounced and hit the curb before the car could hit her."
The idea that someone could toss a dog on the road and leave it to fend for itself infuriates Dunaway, who said she has had animals her whole life.
"I think that's absolutely horrible how anyone could do something like that to an animal," Dunaway said.
Dunaway has filed a report and is determined to find the person involved.
"I'd like to find out who did this to the dog, and I'd like to see him prosecuted."
For the time being, Dunaway has opened her home to the lab, who she named Sweetie. Though physically uninjured in the fall, for the first couple of days Sweetie was still greatly affected by the cruelty she suffered, moving a little slowly and keeping her tail between her legs. But after two days with Dunaway and her family, the resilient dog is beginning to show signs of bouncing back.
"Her ears are up, she's running around and playing," Dunaway told 11 News Sunday.
Dunaway said there's evidence Sweetie was abused long before she was callously tossed out of a moving vehicle; she reportedly has a couple of scars from previous beatings.
Dunaway is confident that with the right family, Sweetie could be a great addition to a loving home. A vet is scheduled to look at Sweetie Monday before she gets put up for adoption. Until Sweetie is ready to be adopted, Dunaway intends to take care of her.
All that is known about the suspect is that he was driving a red van or SUV, and had a chihuahua with him when he threw Sweetie out the window. He is described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic man with a shaved head. The dog was thrown off West 16th Street in the High Park area. Sweetie is not microchipped, but Dunaway hopes someone knows who her owner was.
Anyone with information or wishing to adopt Sweetie can contact Dunaway directly at email@example.com. Dunaway will forward the e-mails to PAWS for Life in Pueblo, who will be handling the adoption procedure. Sweetie will not be eligible for adoption for five days. Dunaway stresses that whoever adopts Sweetie needs to be an experienced dog owner.

How to combine installed language .po file with theme .po file?
When I changed inside wp-config.php file line:
define('WPLANG', 'hr'); - installed Croatian wordpress without custom theme
define('WPLANG', 'hr_HR'); - theme .po file used
I lost all Croatian translation that comes with installation and I get translation from the theme.
If I revert that, I get oposite.
How to use both files? What to do to keep Croatian translation that came installed and to use in the same time .po file that came with the theme?
Any experience from other users that translated their wordpress site to local language and then also implement translation of new theme and plugins?

Hi, thanks for the plugin and I hope is what I'm looking for. I guess the function worked as it supposed to except I don't understand how to modify the CSS for the pop up box?
Currently I'm running my theme on localhost. And correct me if I'm wrong but I think I already did as you told which is to:
1. Create a subfolder called "flexible-frontend-login" in your theme folder. Ok I did that.
2. And copy the css file from the plugins/flexible-frontend-login/css/ffl-style.css into the new "flexible-frontend-login" in my theme folder. Yes, I did that too.
3. After that I start with simple thing which I modify the background color of the popup box--just to see the result--from white to red.
#ffl-boxes #ffl-dialog {
background-color: #cb0101;
padding:1em 2em;
border:solid 1px #000;
box-shadow:0 0 6px 2px #000;
But nothing happened. I refresh it several times and its stil the same. Did I miss something?
Thank you very much in advance.

A local man is charged with using his home improvement business to defraud an 88-year-old woman out of more than $40,000.

We created an entire digital organization dedicated to bringing you exclusive access to in-depth stories that you can't get anywhere else, handpicked events, and incredible savings on things you love to do. To find out more click here.
CINCINNATI — A Hamilton County building contractor is charged with using his home improvement business to defraud an 88-year-old woman out of more than $40,000.
On Thursday, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced that a Hamilton County Grand Jury has indicted William Modafari, 44, on 22 counts including theft from the elderly and misuse of a credit card.
All the charges are felonies. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
Prosecutors allege that an 88-year-old woman hired Modafari, also known as William Montuano, to do repairs at her home. However, he did little or no work, while overcharging for minor repairs or making her pay for items that never were used at the home, according to DeWine.
"This case is part of our ongoing effort to collaborate with local law enforcement and prosecutors to hold scam artists criminally accountable," the attorney general said in a release. "This individual is accused of taking advantage of an elderly woman under the guise of offering home improvement services."
Attorneys with the Economic Crimes Unit, a division of the Consumer Protection Section, are appointed special prosecutors in the case by the Hamilton County Prosecutor. The Warren County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the investigation.
It's not clear why they're turning to a special prosecutor for the case.
DeWine says he created the Economic Crimes Unit in 2011 to identify criminal conduct in consumer fraud cases and assist prosecuting attorneys in holding scammers criminally accountable.
To date, the unit has helped convict 83 people.
Consumers who suspect a scam should contact the Ohio Attorney General's Office at 800-282-0515.
WCPO will update this story when more information is available.

Wisdom of group forecasts: Does role-playing play a role?
Forecasting plays a special role in supply chain management with sales forecasts representing one of the key drivers for collaborative planning and decision making in the organisations involved. We review the important role played by judgemental forecasts in this area, focusing on group predictions. Noting the scarcity of research using group forecasts, we present the results of an experiment where consensus forecasts are elicited from structured groups with and without role-playing. Comparisons with groups without any assigned roles show that getting into tailored organisational roles does have a significant effect in the resultant forecasts. In particular, members of the role-playing groups show less agreement with consensus forecasts and display a strong commitment to their assumed roles and scripts. Furthermore, role-playing groups leave a higher percentage of model-based forecasts unadjusted and when they do make an adjustment, it is significantly less than the groups, whose members are not assigned roles. Differences between the role-playing conditions are interpreted as highlighting the importance of role framing on forecast adjustment and group forecasting behaviour. Future research directions are proposed to improve the accuracy and acceptance of group forecasts.

Quarterback Kyle Boller signed a one-year deal with the San Diego Chargers on Friday.
Boller, a first-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2003 draft, played the past two seasons with the Oakland Raiders. Last year for Oakland, Boller played in two games, completing 15 of 28 passes for 161 yards and three interceptions.
Boller is expected to provide insurance at QB to the Chargers, who lost Charlie Whitehurst on Thursday when he rolled his left leg during a practice session.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Billy Volek, who had been the Chargers' backup from 2006-12, turned down a contract offer from the team Thursday.
Starter Philip Rivers and Jarrett Lee are the other quarterbacks on San Diego's roster.

An Efficient Cloud Market Mechanism for Computing Jobs with Soft Deadlines
Zongpeng Li, Professor, University of Calgary, Canada
Friday, April 8, 2016, 13:15-14:15, room John von Neumann
We study the cloud market for computing jobs with completion deadlines, and designs efficient online auctions for cloud resource provisioning. A cloud user bids for future cloud resources to execute its job. Each bid includes (a) a utility, reflecting the amount that the user is willing to pay for executing its job, and (b) a soft deadline, specifying the preferred finish time of the job, as well as a penalty function that characterizes the cost of violating the deadline. We target cloud job auctions that executes in an online fashion, runs in polynomial time, provides truthfulness guarantee, and achieves optimal social welfare for the cloud ecosystem. Towards these goals, we leverage the following classic and new auction design techniques. First, we adapt the posted pricing auction framework for eliciting truthful online bids. Second, we address the challenge posed by soft deadline constraints through a new technique of compact exponential-size LPs coupled with dual separat! ion oracles. Third, we develop efficient social welfare approximation algorithms using the classic primal-dual framework based on both LP duals and Fenchel duals. Empirical studies driven by real-world traces verify the efficacy of our online auction design.
Bio of speaker:
Zongpeng Li received his B.E. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Tsinghua University (Beijing) in 1999, his M.S. degree in Computer Science from University of Toronto in 2001, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Toronto in 2005.

Zongpeng is also a recipient of! the "Outstanding Young Computer Science Researcher" prize from the Canadian Association of Computer Science (2015).
A review of cyber security risk assessment methods for SCADA systems
Dr Yulia Cherdantseva, research associate, Cardiff University, UK
April 7th, kl 13.15-14.15 room John von Neumann
Recently, in the framework of SCADA Cyber Security Lifecycle (SCADA-CSL) programme funded by the Airbus Group Endeavr Wales we have conducted a review of cyber security risk assessment methods for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems . The review is presented here. This paper is currently the most downloaded article at Computers & Security.
In this talk I will cover the results of our review as well as the review methodology and research challenges identified. For the review, we selected and in-detail examined twenty-four risk assessment methods developed for or applied in the context of a SCADA system. We analysed the methods in terms of aim; application domain; the stages of risk management addressed; key risk management concepts covered; impact measurement; sources of probabilistic data; evaluation and tool support. Based on the analysis, we suggested an intuitive scheme for the categorisation of cyber security risk assessment methods for SCADA systems. Most importantly, we outlined five research challenges facing risk assessment in SCADA systems and pointed out the approaches that might be taken.

Seven French Refineries Ready to Resume Processing; Await Oil
Seven oil refineries in France are ready to resume processing as soon as crude supplies become available from ships stranded by month-long port strikes.
"The refiners are back at work but they cannot operate because they don't have any crude oil," Yves le Goff, a spokesman for refiner's group UFIP, said by phone today from Paris.
France's 11 refineries can process 1.84 million barrels of oil a day, according to Bloomberg data. Plants such as Total SA's La Mede facility began halting production as early as Oct. 10 amid protests that began at ports on Sept. 27, before escalating over President Nicolas Sarkozy's pension reform.
Workers at the oil terminal of Marseille on France's southern coast were on strike today leaving 38 crude carriers and 20 refined product vessels stranded, according to an e-mailed statement from port officials.
Total's La Mede plant in the south is in the preliminary stages of start-up following the end of strike action, Michael Crochet-Vourey, a company spokesman, said yesterday. The company's other facilities remain halted amid countrywide protests.
Workers at Petroplus Holdings AG's Petit Couronne site voted yesterday to return to work and fuel deliveries have resumed, Sevillane Lambret, a CFDT union representative said today by phone. Staff at the company's other French plant at Reichstett agreed to return to work at the beginning of the week and production remained halted because of limited oil feedstock.
Swiss Halt
Petroplus was forced to start closing its Cressier refinery in Switzerland because of a lack of crude, the company said on Oct. 26. The plant relies on oil from France via a pipeline.
Ineos AG started to reduce production to "stand-by" mode at its Lavera refinery and petrochemical site in the south of France because of limited raw materials, the company said on Oct. 25. "We're keeping the assets warm and when we get the crude, we'll ramp up production," Richard Longden, a U.K.-based Ineos spokesman, said yesterday.
Exxon Mobil Corp. said yesterday its employees wouldn't take part in today's nationwide protests over the government's plan to increase the minimum age of retirement to 62 from 60. The company's 233,000 barrel-a-day Gravenchon refinery, which depends on crude supplies from the port of Le Havre, was waiting for shipments, and its 119,000 barrel-a-day Fos facility in the south of France was running at reduced rates, said Catherine Brun, an Exxon spokeswoman. Both sites had resumed fuel deliveries.
The following table shows the status of French refineries, ranked by processing capacity in barrels a day. The Cressier plant in Switzerland is the only one outside France affected by the strikes as it gets crude supplies via pipeline from Fos.
Company Location Capacity Status Total Gonfreville 345,000 Halted because of strike. Exxon Mobil Gravenchon 233,000 Most units halted amid a complete shutdown because of limited crude oil supplies from the port of Le Havre. Fuel-deliveries started as workers returned. Total Donges 230,000 Halted because of workers' strike. Ineos Lavera 218,000 Units are in "stand- by" mode amid limited crude oil supplies from Fos. Total La Mede 157,000 First stages of starting after strike ended. Petroplus Petit 142,000 Started to shut on Couronne Oct. 14. Staff voted yesterday to end strike. Fuel- deliveries resume. Exxon Mobil Fos 119,000 Runs at minimum on limited crude supplies from Fos. Staff return to work. Total Feyzin 115,000 Halted on strike. LyondellBasell Berre 105,000 Refining units halted because of limited crude oil supplies from Fos. Chemical plants at reduced rates. Workers aren't on strike, company said on Oct. 25. Total Grandpuits 93,000 Halted because workers still on strike. Petroplus Reichstett 81,000 Some production halted on strike. Workers voted on Oct. 25 to return to posts. Petroplus Cressier 68,000 Starts shutdown on limited crude oil supplies from the Fos port, company said on Oct. 26.

This, to my knowledge, is the first textbook on radiation physics published in Germany since World War II. As expressed in the title, the book is intended for both the medical student and the practicing physician. This is implied by the German term Mediziner, for which, unfortunately (just as for the generic term Arzt), the English language still lacks a satisfactory equivalent. Although the volume is concise, the treatment of the subject is comprehensive and covers not only the historical and theoretic aspects but also the practical problems relative to roentgen ray diagnosis and therapy. In addition to special chapters on these practical problems, the book contains chapters on radiation and matter; natural and artificial radioactivity; properties, effects and measurement of radiant energy; primary action on the cell by ionization, and protection against irradiation. A special appendix contains (and explains) the relevant mathematical calculations and formulas, concluding with a
