Blinky Bill is the hero of a book series written by Dorothy Wall in the 1930s. The books inspired two TV series: The first one was a live-action puppet show called ''The New Adventures of Blinky Bill,'' which ran on Creator/TheABC from 1984-87 and produced by Richard Smith; the second one was a follow-up to the 1992 animated movie ''Blinky Bill: The Mischievous Koala'' and titled ''The Adventures of Blinky Bill''. The animated series, by far the most well-known version of the character internationally, was adapted and produced by Yoram Gross and ran for two seasons from 1993-95, with a third season (retitled ''Blinky Bill's Around the World Adventures'') airing in 2004.
Blinky Bill is an anthropomorphic koala who lives with his friends in the fictional Australian bush town of Greenpatch. In the film ''Blinky Bill : The Mischievous Koala'', Greenpatch is destroyed. The cartoon series is set after they found a new home.
The first season had the townspeople trying to get their new homes in order while coping with a family of playful tricksters and bullies, the dingoes. In the second season and a story arc formed in which Blinky and his gang got lost while on a school camping trip and had to find their way home. The third season had Blinky, Flap and Nutsy travel around the world in a hot air balloon, rescuing animals and being chased by 2 humans named Basil and Cyril who are the Circus Bros.
It's getting a {{CGI}} reboot in 2015, starting with a theatrical film. Needless to say, [[BrokenBase fans are already divided on whether going CGI is good at all. Heck, even the new design is a point of contention]].
!!Tropes you'll see in the series:
* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle - Marcia's name is pronounced incorrectly in the second series credits song.
* AllCGICartoon: The 2015 reboot starts off with a CGI movie and will follow with a CGI TV series in 2016.
* AnimatedAdaptation: ''The Adventures of Blinky Bill.''
* AnimatedMusical: ''Blinky Bill : The Mischievous Koala'' had songs in it.
* AdiposeRex: Ma Dingo is one of these in the fairy tale episode.
%%* {{Adorkable}} - Flap
* AssholeVictim - Danny's schemes would often be undone without Blinky's help.
* BadassAdorable - Let's just say all 6 main kids TookALevelInBadass after the Extraordinary Excursion
%%* BarefootCartoonAnimal - Everyone except Meatball.
%%* BrattyHalfPint - Marcia Mouse
* BreakTheCutie: Nutsy in Mother´s day episode.
* ButtMonkey - Many characters have their moments. Mayor Pelican and Miss Magpie regularly get on the receiving end of Blinky's pranks.
* CanonForeigner - Tons of 'em. Neither Flap, Marcia, nor the Dingo family appeared in the original books, and that's only the more major characters the cartoon added.
** ''The New Adventures Of Blinky Bill'' puppet show had a few as well, such as Charlie Goanna, Eric Echidna and Sybilla the Snake, plus various (human) park rangers (as the show took place in Bollygum National Park).
* CarnivoreConfusion - the dingoes are never shown to eat or hunt any other animals
* CivilisedAnimal - the animals wear clothes, go to school and even have a currency.
%%* CoolBigSis - Daisy Dingo
%%* CuteLittleFangs - The Dingo family
%%* TheDoorSlamsYou
* {{Determinator}}: The circus brothers chase Blinky across six continents in their efforts to catch him.
%%* DumbMuscle - Meatball Dingo
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness - In the first episode, Flap is no where to be seen. Ruff the Lizard meanwhie fills the role Flap would have later anyway. Which is odd, because Flap had a rather large role in the movie.
* EasyAmnesia: Blinky gets it in the movie, after a tree falls on him, so that Wombo can conveniently fill in his backstory via {{Flashback}} for the viewers before the main plot continues.
%%* EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi
* ExpositoryThemeTune: The first series has a brief recap of the movie:
-->But then one dark and gloomy night, when all the bush was still,
-->Some bandits came and stole the trees, to feed their woodchip mill!
-->And when at last the morning came, the timber trucks moved on,
-->And where their Greenpatch used to be, the little town was gone!
%%* GentleGiant - Splodge
* Getting crap past the radar: In the 2015 movie, one character asks Jacko if he has 'A reptile dysfunction'
%%* TheHeart - Nutsy is this in general.
%%* HeelFaceTurn - By the 2nd season, the whole dingo family
%%* HumansAreTheRealMonsters -As shown in the movie and numerous episodes.
%%* KidHero - Blinky Bill
* TheKiddieRide - mmm, giant Blinky on BambooTechnology car!
%%* LandDownunder
%%* LeanAndMean - Danny Dingo
%%* LovableCoward - Flap Platypus
* NonMammalMammaries - Although most characters are mammals and Miss Magpie who isn't does not have them, Blinky's mother, Daisy Dingo and others present very human looking breasts.
* OneShotCharacter - Myrtle in "Blinky's Fire Brigade". She is also in Blinky Bill Weding picnic among the wedding guests.
%%* TheOneWhoWearsShoes - Meatball Dingo
%%* PluckyGirl - Marcia Mouse
* SceneryGorn: The destruction of Greenpatch, seen in live action in the movie (with the animated animals running away from the destruction), and briefly in the opening sequence of the TV series.
%%* SixStudentClique:
%%** The Head Blinky Bill
%%** The Muscle Splodge Kangaroo
%%** The Pretty One Nutsy
%%** The Smart One Flap Platypus
%%** The Wild One Marcia Marsupial Mouse
%%** The Quirk Shifty Dingo
* StoryArc: Season 1: Rebuilding Greenpatch. Season 2: The Quest Home (albeit beginning midway through) Season 3: Balloon Adventure
%%* SunglassesAtNight - Danny Dingo
* SequelEscalation - Each series got grander and more plot focused. The first series was mostly self contained episodes which could be watched in any order save the last few. Series 2 had more a storyline with the gang lost but again you could watch most episodes in any order. Series 3 meanwhile was even bigger. Blinky traveled around the world in what was easily the most arc based (characters regularly left the group once home so one could easily miss such episodes) and there were actual villains for the first time since the original movie.
* ThemeTuneRollCall: "This is the story of Blinky Bill, and Flap and Nutsy too/And Wombo, [[AdvertisedExtra Ruff]] and Marcia, and Splodge the kangaroo."
%%* ThePowerOfFriendship
%%* TricksterArchetype - Danny and Daisy Dingo
%%** Blinky in the third series aginest the Cricus brothers.
* VocalEvolution: Marcia's voice started out slightly deeper.
* WhamEpisode - Blinky Bill and the Earthquake, the titular earthquake is really a mine cave in separating Blinky and the gang from Miss Magpie and their classmates. Then the episode goes on with a crazed Goanana chasing the gang out of the mine disguised as a ghost. Once out of the mine, it's night time. Meanwhile Miss Magpie is [[ItsAllMyFault crying her eyes out]] while Wombo comforts her and the gang set up camp for the night, ending the episode with Nusty imagining all their parents worried sick. This sets up the storyarc for the rest of the series in what had up until then been episodic.

Let Machines Search Mars Before Humans Taint the Evidence
Published: July 19, 1997
To the Editor:
In ''The Right Machine for Mars'' (Op-Ed, July 12), Robert Zubrin glosses over or ignores most of the important issues that should be resolved before sending a manned mission to Mars.
When men spend time on Mars, especially if they try to grow food and extract resources, they will likely taint the remains of whatever biota might have existed before the mission. We should thoroughly investigate Mars before taking a large risk of introducing Earth life.
I agree that people should eventually go to Mars, but only after the robots and rovers have exhausted their repertoire and taught us as much as they can.
Carmel, Calif., July 14, 1997

Translating Herman Cain on China
Cain has clarified his "nuclear capability" comment. What he said about it, and what he really meant.
In an interview last night with Clarence Thomas's wife, of all people, Herman Cain clarified his comically ill-informed warning that China, which has had nuclear weapons for over four decades, is "trying to develop nuclear capability." With the help of the Politispeak Translator 5000 — a Cold War–era supercomputer that runs at Daily Intel headquarters around the clock, at a cost of $40,000 an hour — let's look at what Herman Cain told Ginni Thomas about his China gaffe, and what he really meant.
What Cain Said: "Maybe I misspoke. What I meant was China does not have the size of the nuclear capability that we have. They do have a nuclear capability. I was talking about their total nuclear capability. So that's what I meant by that."
Now let's just place that on a punch card and run it through the Politispeak Translator 5000 ... bleep bleep bleep bleep bloop ... bleep .... and here we go.
What Cain Really Meant: "I didn't misspeak. I literally had no idea whether China has nuclear weapons or not. I just kind of guessed. After consulting my foreign policy expert, Mark Block, I now know that they possess nuclear weapons. Please don't ask me any follow up questions about China until I memorize my flash cards."

Myst Review
August 13, 2009 - Finally available to North American audiences after runs in Europe and Japan a few years back, Myst is more than just a faithful translation of the classic adventure game that defined a genre at a critical time in gaming history: the CD revolution. Developer Hoplite Research has fashioned a director's cut of sorts for PSP gamers, going back to the source material and upgrading it for the widescreen display as well as adding on an age cut from the original 1993 release. Rime Age, restored in realMyst, has been glued on to this port.
Myst Clouds PSPs
May 26, 2006 - Today Midway announced a publishing agreement for Myst on PSP, the latest epic adventure in the long-running island exploration series.
Myst Set for PSP
November 22, 2005 - Sega will be bringing one of adventure gaming's classic titles to the PSP, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals. Myst is currently in development for the portable format at Hoplite Research and will be published by Sega in Japan in March of next year.

Hi all,
My server is:
Win 2003
Microsoft-IIS/6.0 configured with FastCGI to run php
MySql 5.5.18
After the upgrade to the 3.5.1 from (3.4) version I cannot use the "Upload New Media" admin tool without receiving a CGI Error :
"The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."
There is many reference online about this error but I did not find anything about this particular circumstance.
So, even if I receive the error, I can see that the media file has been upload and it appears on the media list.
The only difference I can notice with a file uploaded in the 3.4 version is that the dimension parameter is not showed in the details page (wp-admin/post.php?post=18&action=edit), ex:
"Dimensions: 1000 × 221"
For this reason I guess that there is a problem when WP updates this value on the database or even when it calculates this value.
I can add to that issue that even if the upload is done, the file is not resized to the other standard sizes: 150*x, 300*x, 500*x ..
So I believe that the error source is the function that crop the uploaded images.
Anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Black Caucus, White House Standoff Continues
WASHINGTON -- The standoff between the White House and the Congressional Black Caucus dragged on into Tuesday night, continuing to cloud the prospects of a vote Wednesday morning to overhaul supervision of banks.
House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.) has scheduled a 10:15 a.m. vote on a bill to rework financial regulation. The 10 CBC members of his committee have said they won't vote for it until their concerns on a range of other issues relating to the economy are met by the White House.
One problem: it's unclear to many what their concerns are, and CBC members are refusing to discuss it publicly.
"I don't think anybody is going to say anything," Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D., Mo.) told reporters after an evening vote. "I'm not sure because we are still studying and discussing." Asked if CBC lawmakers were having more meetings about it later Tuesday night, he said, "I can't remember."
He said it was unclear if the CBC would vote for Rep. Frank's bill because "we are still studying and discussing."
Rep. Frank spent his day in multiple meetings about financial regulations, and appeared exhausted after the vote. When asked if the issues with the Congressional Black Caucus had been resolved, he quickly said, "Talk to them."
Later, he said the main concerns from the CBC had to do with access to credit for minorities and minority-owned businesses.
Rep. David Scott (D., Ga.), a member of the CBC who is on Rep. Frank's committee, said he "wasn't at liberty to say right now" what the talks were about. He said, though, that the economic crisis has had a disproportionately destructive impact on the African American community.
The talks have little to do with the specifics of Rep. Frank's bill, several people familiar with the matter said. But if the CBC delays a committee vote on the bill again, as they did two weeks ago, they could make it harder for Rep. Frank to bring a bill to the House floor by the December recess. That could push a final vote on the measure into early 2010.

NEW YORK -- The Chicago Cubs plan to open the playoffs with a former closer on the mound: Ryan Dempster.
The 17-game winner was tabbed Thursday by manager Lou Piniella to start Game 1 in the best-of-five division series at Wrigley Field. The NL Central champions will play the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies or Los Angeles Dodgers in the first round beginning Wednesday.
"He deserves it," Piniella said. "He's been extremely consistent and reliable all season long."
Dempster is 17-6 with a 2.99 ERA, including a 14-3 mark with a 2.86 ERA at home. If the series goes the distance, he would be in line to start Game 5 in Chicago as well.
"Games 1 and 5 are at home, so it makes all the sense in the world," Piniella said. "From there, we've still got a little work to do."
The Cubs will go with a four-man rotation in the division series, but Piniella wouldn't reveal his intentions beyond Dempster. The manager said he has confidence in all four of his top starters, including Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden and Ted Lilly.
Dempster gets his final postseason tuneup Friday night at Milwaukee and probably will throw 75-80 pitches, Piniella said. Dempster saved 85 games for Chicago from 2005-07 before becoming a starter again this season, a role he had with Florida and Cincinnati.
Piniella rested most of his stars Thursday night against the New York Mets, including sluggers Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez and Geovany Soto. Mark DeRosa is sidelined with a strained calf and could miss the remainder of the regular season.
"I'm resting my team tonight. That was a long, long game last night," Piniella said. "And then I've got a couple injuries now."
Ryan Theriot also was supposed to get the night off but he started at shortstop because Ronny Cedeno jammed his right shoulder diving headfirst into first base while trying to beat out a grounder during Wednesday night's 10-inning victory.
"We don't encourage that. All you're doing is looking for problems. I don't think you get there any faster, either," Piniella said.
Cedeno could be back in a few days.
"We're a little short in the middle," Piniella said. "In one day we lose two middle infielders. That's not good."
The Mets began the night 1½ games behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East and tied with Milwaukee atop the wild-card standings.
"I think all these teams that are in contention, knowing that we've clinched and we've come here to New York and won two out of three, I think everybody would be very happy prior to the series," Piniella said. "So we're going to do the best we can today ... but we've got to rest our team a little bit.
"What's the sense of trying to take care of everybody else. Take care of yourself, too," he added.
Piniella said he might rest several regulars again Friday night in Milwaukee, but his starters need to play Saturday and Sunday to stay sharp for the playoffs.

These teams include physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, dietitians, health promoters, early childhood educators, counsellors and others. We are sponsored and managed by an incorporated non-profit community board made up of members of our community.
Somerset West Community Health Centre is well known for its excellent community health centre (CHC) model and its professional health services team, but it has also become a leader in offering a wide range of social services, community-building activities and advocacy programs.
In June 2013 SWCHC was the first CHC accredited through our new accreditation body the Canadian Centre for Accreditation.
"Somerset West Community Health Centre is proud to be accredited through the Canadian Centre for Accreditation which offers a third party review tailored to community based organizations based on accepted organizational practices that promote ongoing quility improvement and responsive, effective community services." For more information on CCA's accreditation program plese go to www.canadiancentreforaccreditation.ca
The 2013/2014 planning cycle began with a refresh of our strategic directions and confirmation of our mission statement. These refreshed strategic directions provided the framework for the development of departmental, corporate and board priorities and goals. The development and submission of a Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) is identified and tracked as a Board priority and championing the quality agenda is communicated to staff as a corporate goal with each department identifying its own quality project. These projects are tracked through the regular meeting of the Senior Leadership Team. The QIP plan, as mandated by Health Quality Ontario, is one component along with the corporate goals and the departmental goals of the SWCHC operational plan. To view our Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) please CLICK HERE. The QIP is guided by a regularly updated workplan, CLICK HERE for the most recent QIP workplan.
Our services and programs are designed to meet the specific needs of our community. In addition, SWCHC provides a variety of health promotion and illness prevention services which focus on addressing and raising awareness of the broader social determinants of health such as employment, education, environment, isolation, social exclusion and poverty.
In the past three years SWCHC has registered just under 7000 new clients! To learn about your rights as a SWCHC client please read our Client Rights.
"SWCHC is a well-established organization, but is not just content with past successes. Those involved at all levels of the organization share a passion for their work and respect for each other. They continually reflect on past practise and work to improve what they do in the interests of SWCHC clients and community. The solutions they find to address multiple barriers faced by some clients are unique and creative. They are not afraid to take risks and fortunately these have paid off in a centre that is well regarded by its community, educational partners and clients."
- Community Organizational Health
Somerset West Community Health Centre is a proud member of both the Canadian Alliance of Community Health Centres and the Association of Ontario Health Centres.
The Community Health Centre (CHC) Model
Somerset West is one of 73 Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Ontario. CHCs are the only primary health care model in Ontario that, under one roof, combines primary health care services with a wide range of other health promotion and community development services. They are also the only primary health care in Ontario that focuses on the social determinants of health.
What makes us unique?
- Interprofessional teams respond to people's individual health issues
- Programs and services carefully tailored to respond to the diverse needs of the many different communities being served.
- Integrated model of care by partnerships with other social service, mental health and addiction agencies as well as other community-based organizations. Services are also being integrated and coordinated with the acute and long-term care system.
CHCs have been around for over forty years and we've always been a little ahead of our time! The CHC model was inspired by Tommy Douglas' original vision for Medicare. Douglas hoped that as it evolved, our health care system would focus more on keeping people well – not just treating them when they get sick.
SWCHC has an excellent reputation for its innovation and creativity regarding community programs, and has become a leader in terms of the range and depth of services available. Among other services, SWCHC offers primary health care including outreach nurses, social services, advocacy programs, street outreach and community health care with a philosophy of holistic service provision. The Centre has also been highly successful in reaching populations in the area considered difficult to serve namely the homeless, the addicted, new Canadians and the mentally ill. Currently, SWCHC has over 350 members and upwards of 14,000 registered clients, the majority of which are residents of the catchment area. Nearly 47% of our community population is currently living below the Low Income Measurement threshold, compared to the rest of the City of Ottawa.

In a special edition of DC All Access, host Jase Peeples, entertainment editor of The Advocate magazine, touches upon some of the key characters and storylines from the publisher's history, from Maggie Sawyer and Pied Piper to Terry Berg and Batwoman to Alysia Yeoh and Catman.
Casting an eye over the expanse of superhero comics, you'll find yourself looking at a number of heroes so popular that they've spawned spin-off characters that are either younger, pluckier or, more often than not, of the opposite sex. From DC's Supergirl (tied to Superman) to Marvel's Ms. Marvel (connected to Captain Marvel), this has been a trend going on longer than most of us have been around. But in this world of male heroes sharing their costume designs with women, I've always wondered why there isn't much going the opposite way: heroes who base their costumes and names on heroines.
One of the key reasons is that by sheer number there are far more popular male superhero characters than female characters. By my unscientific estimation, the only female superheroes the general public could name would be Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Invisible Woman, Catwoman, Jean Grey and Storm. Compare that to the male heroes most people know, and you'll get the picture. But even then, where are the male counterparts to those female heroes I mentioned?
The closest thing we have to that is DC's Catman, the lone example of an in-continuity character borrowing his style from a female character — Catwoman. There's also the rare alternative universe where all genders are switched, such as Earth-11 as seen in Teen Titans Spotlight #11, or other unique circumstances.
I'm not saying DC should bring back Wonder Man (or Captain Wonder) as a counterpart to Wonder Woman in the New 52, but she does have a pair of star-spangled pants she's not using.

Larry Reisman: Eleven-year-old Lucy Li brings fun back to U.S. Women's Open
PINEHURST, N.C. — Pardon my skepticism, but as someone who has coached youth sports for almost 30 years I've been jaded by overzealous parents looking for the best for their own little Janine or Johnny.
The goal: to play for the best team, to get a free ride to college and to have the parent live in his child's shoes.
So I did not know what to think when I learned Lucy Li, 11, would meet about 100 media members at a news conference. The Redwood Shores, California girl is the youngest player ever to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, which starts here Thursday.
She shot even par to win a qualifier at Half Moon Bay, California to get into the event.
Would Lucy sound like a driven young child out of the days of the Eastern-bloc nations? Think East German swimmers or Romanian gymnasts. Would she be a typical 11-year-old, full of "likes," "ums" and one-word answers? Or, would she be well-schooled in public relations like some of the Disney stars?
Turns out Lucy was unlike anything I expected. She is either the product of an incredible PR handler or, more likely, just a 5-foot-2 California girl who loves to play golf.
Some highlights:
What would be the perfect week: "I just want to go out there and have fun and play the best I can, and I really don't care about the outcome — it's just I want to have fun and learn … a lot from these great players."
Her favorite books: Sherlock Holmes novels, anything by Rick Riordan ("Percy Jackson & the Olympians" series).
What do you like to do on your birthdays: "I like to go to arcades. I love going to Dave & Busters. Every time on my birthday, I go there and I watch movies."
On practicing:"It depends on my schedule and if I feel like practicing. I go out when I feel like it, so it depends (how much time I'll put in)."
Whose idea was it to try to qualify for the U.S. Open: "It was mine, because I wanted to go out there and get the experience. Because it's 36 holes and I didn't care if I qualified or not — I didn't think about it."
On being at Augusta National (won her age in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championships in April) and Pinehurst: "It's mind-blowing for me. It's been awesome, because it's been — I mean the food is great — and it's been a lot of fun. I've made a lot of friends."
The best food at the courses: Ice cream, sliders and tacos.
Favorite golfers: Erik Compton, the U.S. Open runner-up with two heart transplants she met while at her golf coach's course in Miami; and Webb Simpson, whom she met Thursday. Why? Because he won at Olympic Club in San Francisco and it's her favorite golf course.
Her candid answers and giggles when asked questions you'd never ask a professional (Does your dad, a successful stock trader, beat you in golf? No.) were refreshing. She had the media in stitches.
"It was the most charming and delightful press conference I've been to in 20 years of covering golf," said Steve Eubanks, a best-selling author who is reporting for Global Golf Post and The Open Daily. "She was a kid not trying to be anything other than an 11-year-old girl."
As Juli Inkster, 53 and playing in her women's record 35th open, probably her last, said of Li, "Well, she's not as hardened as I am. She's still smiling … that's the beauty of golf."
There is something to be said for playing a game under your own terms. Not because you have to, not to please mom or dad, not to earn a scholarship or to punch a meal ticket.
Thanks to Lucy Li, an oasis in a desert of big business, for reminding us of what pure sport is all about — FUN.

Cats, Music Videos, Flame Wars: Paul Krugman Is Very, Very Bloggy
For better and for worse.
Writing a blog is a very different form of journalism than writing a newspaper column. Paul Krugman does both. In Sunday's Times, the Nobel Prize–winning economist published a column on the existential threat facing the euro. It was persuasively argued, tightly edited, and about as provocative as an essay on global monetary policy can be. Yet the column received but a sliver of attention when compared to a 181-word post he published that morning on his blog. Krugman wrote that, thanks to the actions of George W. Bush and Co. following 9/11, the memory has "been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it." He closed comments on the blog "for obvious reasons," but that didn't stop angry responses on both the left and the right, including Donald Rumsfeld's Twitter announcement that the "piece" was the last straw for his Times subscription.
There is no doubt that Krugman's post (at least those key couple lines) was ill-considered. Yet it was also just the latest example of Krugman's knack for webbiness: After all, what's more native to blogging, especially of the partisan sort, than ginning up a controversy? Consider, too, the form of the post. It's short and conversational — Krugman opens with, "Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued? Actually, I don't think it's me, and it's not really that odd." The efficient bombast of the statement that follows is also characteristic of a certain kind of blogging; Krugman assumes that his readers are nodding along, not demanding a careful example-by-example defense of the statement that not just Bush but "[a] lot of other people behaved badly." Of course, Krugman is also keen on wonky, detailed, economic-policy posts, but it's clear that he's perfectly comfortable inciting a flame war or two with a quick gut reaction when he feels so moved.
The Conscience of a Liberal is, by at least one recent measure, the most popular single-author blog on the Internet. Part of that is because Krugman is a big name — but so is, say, David Brooks, whose blog is somehow far more ponderous than his print column.
Krugman, meanwhile, has embraced the form: He loves using graphics. He tends to write short. He loves lists. He's been known to post pictures of his cats. He takes personal offense when people make fun of him on the Internet, and has no qualms writing about it. He's tried to get a blog-to-TV deal. Sometimes he expresses his thoughts about a piece of legislation by linking to a music video. (The New Pornographers appear to be on heavy rotation of late.) He writes jokey headlines. He doesn't appear to waste much time trying to craft beautiful, writerly sentences. He uses "kind of" far more than we expect from people who have won Nobel Prizes for their facility with numbers might. Also, he starts sentences with things like "Also, ..." — that most classic blog style.
In short, he adds more than a bit of insight to the public discourse in an easily digestible and occasionally entertaining way. As anyone who's tried to do so can tell you, this is not as easy as some people make it look. Show me a blogger who hasn't written something he regrets or might re-phrase with the luxury of more time, and I will congratulate him on his brand new job. Krugman hasn't said he regrets the 9/11 post — quite the opposite, in fact — but perhaps that's still more proof of his bloggy DNA: Public apologies don't get you as many page views as controversy, after all.

Air New Zealand will examine flight scheduling following a
meeting in which Dunedin Labour MPs raised concerns about it
cutting a late-night service from Auckland.
The Otago Daily Times last week reported the airline
had cut its only evening flight between Auckland and Dunedin,
angering some of those in the business community.
Dunedin South MP Clare Curran and Dunedin North MP David
Clark met Air New Zealand's regional services manager Ian
Collier to raise concerns yesterday.
The evening flight, which leaves Auckland at 7pm and arrives
in Dunedin at 9pm, is scheduled to cease from next month.
''We are not asking them to put that flight back on again,
but change the scheduling so it is a true commuter service,
first thing in the morning/last thing at night, which is
essentially what the business community is so upset about,''
Ms Curran said.
She remained concerned that Air New Zealand had made its
scheduling based on a demand curve for the city - ''and that
is code that Dunedin is not on a growth trajectory''.
''We delivered a clear message to Air New Zealand and we
believe they have a responsibility to be looking and
listening to regional concerns ... and not just looking at
this from a short-term profit perspective.''
Ms Curran said the airline was the country's national carrier
and had a dual mandate to return a dividend to shareholders
and deliver a strong national service ''so we have reminded
them of that''.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
The fact that the government is a majority shareholder is
very relevant. It's our money and we should have a say.
Air New Zealand is a listed company and is flag carrier
mainly by name and sentiment only. The fact the Govt is
majority shareholder is irrelevant. They will and should not
prop up services they see as unprofitable as they would just
be burning a hole in the sky and going nowhere. Air travel is
derived demand meaning Dunedin needs to grow for air services
to grow, or even remain static.

Dallas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress said Sunday during his "Countdown to the Apocalypse," sermon series that it was Satan who delivered the religion of Islam to the prophet Muhammad and further asserted that following that religion will "lead you to hell."
In his six-week sermon series, Jeffress, who pastors Dallas' 11,000-member First Baptist Church, explains how Jesus told of the rise of radical Islam and that increased Christian persecution around the world would "precede His return to this Earth."
In a Sunday sermon, the 59-year-old attempted to debunk the claim that Muhammad was delivered Islam by an angel and stated that the angel Muhammad saw was really the devil desguised "as an angel of light." more >>
A group of Christian scholars representing a "new Christian Zionism" seek to distance their views from the "wild, crazy, popular apocalypticism" with which Christian Zionists have often been associated.
Eleven speakers, mostly theologians, presented at the April 17 conference, "People of the Land: A Twenty-First Century Case for Christian Zionism," hosted by the Institute on Religion and Democracy at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Most of the talks were based upon a chapter for a book expected to be published sometime in the next two years.
While the group does not agree on everything, they are united in the belief that God's covenants with Israel were not displaced by Jesus Christ and the Church. In other words, while Jesus is central to salvation, God will remain faithful to the promises He made to the Jewish people. How, exactly, that works itself out will continue to be a matter of study and debate. more >>
Former U.S. congresswoman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann claimed that the "rapture of the Church" is looming and will be brought to reality due to the foreign policies of president Barack Obama, and added that God will punish the United States for disobeying His will.
As previously reported by The Christian Post, the 59-year-old Minnesotan recently spoke with Jan Markell on the "Understanding the End Times" radio program and labeled Obama's foreign policy — specifically his desire for a nuclear deal with Iran – as being "pro the goals of Islamic Jihad." She added that Obama's foreign policy will lead to the coming of the Islamic Messiah (Mahdi) and the return of Jesus Christ.
This past weekend, the second part of Bachmann's interview with Markell aired and Bachmann again asserted that the second coming of Christ is right around the corner. But in part two of the interview, she also weighed in on the impact that abortion and gay marriage have on God's view of the United States. more >>
Former congresswoman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has accused President Barack Obama of being "pro the goals of Islamic jihad," which she explains includes welcoming the "hidden imam" to bring on the apocalypse.
In appearing on the "Understanding the End Times" radio program with Jan Markell last weekend, the 59-year-old Minnesotan bashed the president's foreign policy goals as being aligned with the goals of Islamic extremists, who she argues have the ultimate goal of bringing about the end of the world and paving the way for the Islamic Messiah.
"Our president, who is as consistent in his foreign policy world view, which is to be anti-Israel and pro, and I'll say it in my own words, pro the goals of Islamic jihad, because that is what we are seeing," Bachmann asserted. "These are the goals of Islamic jihad." more >>
Correction appended
Actor Nicolas Cage starred in the remake of the wildly popular "Left Behind" movie last year and with a sequel recently announced, he may or may not return to reprise his role as pilot Rayford Steele.
David Heimbecker, the Vice President of Marketing at Cloud Ten Pictures, the studio responsible for bringing "Left Behind" to the big screen discussed the possibiliy of him returning in a recent interview with The Christian Post. more >>
A distribution deal for the sequel to the recent "Left Behind" movie that starred Nicholas Cage has been struck and a producer of the film says it will stick closer to the books and will be aimed specifically at the Christian audience.
The film's pre-production was confirmed Wednesday and will be released through Cloud Ten Pictures in the summer of 2016.
David Heimbecker, who works for the studio, commented on the original film's reception and what they might do differently the second time around. more >>

I wouldn't hesitate one second to come back if I had the chance.
Wow, it was an amazing and unforgettable time at ECELA Santiago!
I came with only a few words of Spanish and left with so much more than expected: not only that I learned so quickly and easily the language because of the very good and friendly teachers who make learning Spanish fun and interesting and the good concept of teaching that combines class lessons and private lessons if you take an intensive course, but I also met some absolutely great people from all over the world and found some new friends.
I enjoyed my time at ECELA so much that I spontaneously decided to stay 2 weeks longer than originally planned and I wouldn't hesitate one second to come back if I had the chance to.
It was definitively one of the best times of my life! Thank you ECELA amigos for everything, I'm still missing you all!
It's like a big family full of student and staff :-)
What's a GREAT time in ECELA Santiago!!! I stayed 10 weeks in the school, and I already miss it. My level increased a lot, more that I expected.
The classes are very interesting, the teachers very friendly and ready to explain again if you didn't understand We laughed a lot, but always learning, big thanks to my teachers.
During all my stay, I met a lot of people from everywhere, and this was perfect to practice Spanish outside of the class.
I felt so good in this school, it's like a big family full of student and staff You, who read this message, go to ECELA. You will really enjoy, have fun, learn about Chile, Santiago, and of course Spanish.
The quality and caliber of instruction and curriculum is unparalleled.
The quality and caliber of instruction and curriculum is unparalleled. I have been a high school English and ESL teacher for the past eight years in California and I stand in awe of the natural talent, insight and mastery of the ECELA teachers.
I truly believe that teaching a language to a non-native speaker is one of the most challenging callings on earth. My two teachers, Ricardo and Francisco, were unbelievably talented, patient and engaging in their instructional strategies and classroom management. As a teacher myself, I know the challenges of language instruction. I can truly say that in my career as an educator, these two teachers are the two most talented and effective in their classroom practice.
The time I spent at ECELA exceeded all expectations…
The time I spent at ECELA exceeded all expectations that I had going in. The teachers were absolutely amazing, and we also had a great time as a group going out on the town and experiencing the night life, as well as a host of other activities.
I also had the opportunity to volunteer at a local YMCA where I helped teach English which was very enjoyable and fun. All in all, I would recommend ECELA to anybody looking to learn spanish and have an amazing time in Latin America!!
Now, Spanish is like a second native language to me
I took an intensive two month course at ECELA while I lived in Chile for six months. I had a great time from the very first day: the teachers were nice, their classes were really entertaining, and I learned a ton of things.
I also met a lot of people (other students) from different countries at ECELA. Also, I really liked all of the activities that ECELA offered every week: excursions, cooking classes, soccer games…I wasn't bored for a second.
I took one of the prep courses and passed the DELE with a really good score. Now, Spanish is like a second native language to me, thanks to ECELA and the instructors (I'm still in contact with some of them). The months I spent at the school have been some of the best months of my life!!
The homestays are an additional aspect that shouldn't be missed. It's a great way to integrate immediately into the language and culture.
I've been to four of ECELA's schools, and as a Spanish teacher I applaud their efforts in creating an enjoyable atmosphere for learning Spanish at all levels from beginner to advanced.
ECELA's schools are more than just language schools, they are learning communities that support the sometimes challenging process of learning another language. The teachers and support staff are the key to the success.
The schools in Peru have been a very special experience for me. Through my experiences in Cusco and Lima, they have introduced me to a country that I'm sure I will return to.
I was pleasantly surprised by my experience in Lima. It exceeded my expectations in all ways. The city is exciting, the views in Miraflores are beautiful and the school was thoroughly enjoyable. I'm so glad I chose to complete my studies at ECELA here in the capital.
The homestays are an additional aspect that shouldn't be missed. It's a great way to integrate immediately into the language and culture. I highly recommend ECELA for its excellent program.
I had a better experience than I ever could have imagined
When I decided to study at Ecela, I was looking for a school that had good classes and a comfortable environment. But when I got there, I had a better experience than I ever could have imagined.
The class structure was organized, and the small classes helped me learn quickly. The school's staff was really kind and professional.
Also the school's excursions are a great opportunity to learn outside of the classroom. The salsa classes and the barbecues were the most fun.
I recommend this school to everyone.
The instructors are fun, dynamic, and really smart, and they have so much patience!
My experience at the school was nearly perfect. I met a lot of nice, friendly people, students and instructors alike. The instructors are fun, dynamic, and really smart, and they have so much patience! The school is really organized and hardly ever has any problems. The people at the school always want to help. They're friendly and fantastic!!
I hope to return at another time and take one-on-one classes.
The school is great all-around: classes, cleanliness, and organization. With a teacher as excellent as Carolina Villalobos, each lesson was clear and well-explained. That's why I never left class with any unresolved questions.
I would have liked to have stayed longer, but it wasn't possible.
Now that I have all the information, I hope to return at another time and take one-on-one classes. I'm thankful for the administration, the teacher, and my classmates. ¡¡¡Gracias!!!
I'm just blown away by how good all of the teachers are.
I studied on my own a little bit, never in a school, but I took a short Berlitz language class in the US. They [ECELA and Berlitz] are not even comparable.
ECELA is far better. Berlitz is world-renowned, but there is no comparison at all. The teachers at ECELA are trained in linguistics and how to teach language. I'm just blown away by how good all of the teachers are.
When I started, I knew nothing. But now I can speak Spanish to people and they understand me!
Hola, everyone!
Thank you so much for your time, your patience, and your help.
When I started, I knew nothing. But now I can speak Spanish to people and they understand me!
I was here for only two weeks, but I'd like to stay longer!
It's so exciting to learn Spanish and meet so many great people at the same time.
Thank you for everything.
If I am ever in Miraflores I will definitely come and visit!
ECELA is useful for everyone, no matter how old you are. I'm 75, and I've learned a lot in such a short time.
I think I'm living proof that ECELA is useful for everyone, no matter how old you are. I'm 75, and I've learned a lot in such a short time.
I've had a great time. My wife and I had an exceptional homestay. The woman we stayed with is an extraordinary cook. She was really generous with the food and with her time speaking with us in Spanish.
I liked the fact that I had a different teacher every two weeks
I was in the school for 2 months and I had a nice time! Especially the private lessons I took were very useful. I had a combination of group lessons and private lessons and for me this was the best thing.
In the group lessons we learned a lot but we also had a lot of fun, and in the private lessons I had to speak an hour a day only in Spanish which was hard but very useful. I had really nice teachers and I liked the fact that I had a different teacher every two weeks. The school is nice and located in a nice neighborhood.
I loved the school and liked it very much that they organized a lot of activities in the week. We went out a lot with people from the school, students and staff, all together! The staff is very nice and because most of the people working there are still young it gives the school a nice and relaxed atmosphere.

I was reading about your Localization ( found at http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=WordPressLocalization ). The reason I'm writing this, is that it appears to me, that the file nb_NO.mo (both versions), aren't fully translated. The file itself as well as the translations already made, are working, such as translated days and certain words/sentences.
But I now find that the majority of "important" strings aren't translated. This really annoys me, as I would have to manually edit each php-file and translate the given strings to my language. Isn't this what the .mo files are all about?
Also, I found that the nb_NO.mo file has alot of wrong translations, any way to "fix" this?
I also searched around, couldn't find a comprehensive "howto" on the total translation-work myself. I downloaded and installed poEdit, which was kinda jibborish to me (Didn't want to compile the .po for example).
Those who have any idea, please let me know! =)

Low Carb Orange Fluff
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 2 hrs
The flavor can be varied by using sugarfree strawberry or red raspberry Jello with corresponding sodas. The cooking time is actually chilling time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄3 cups boiling water
- 2 (1/3 ounce) packages sugar-free orange gelatin
- 2 cups diet orange soda (preferable Diet Rite brand)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1⁄2 cup whipping cream
- 2 packets Splenda sugar substitute
- Combine the boiling water with the Jello powder, add the diet soda and chill until partially set.
- Beat the cream cheese until fluffy and then gradually add the partially set Jello to the cream cheese.
- Beat the whipping cream with the sweetener to soft peaks and then fold into the gelatin mixture.
- Cover and chill until firm.
Most Helpful
It's wonderful. Works with any flavor Jello, just use the same flavor soda. I used reduced fat cream cheese -- even omitted it completely one time, and it was different, but still GOOD. Thanks for this dieters' life-saver!
I LOVE THIS!! I have made it in all flavors but my favorite is Lemon Chiffon- I used sugar free lemon jello and Stewarts diet perk up- lemon/lime soda. I heat the cream cheese slightly in the micro, whip it and slowly add the soda while whipping- then I add the slightly set jello (made only with the hot water), mix well then I fold in the whip cream. This sets very well and is easier to get the cream cheese to mix. No need to go without dessert now! Thank you Mercy. bethstwin
I brought this salad to a party and everyone loved it; and they didn't even know that it was low carb!

Moms with diabetes can deliver healthy babies, but they need to take extra precautions during pregnancy to avoid potential complications.

Instrumentation a little off here, there are ways you can make having a bass and piano play well together, but this didn't really work to well.
The Bass isn't to engaging, but as an ambient song that is okay.
Unfortunately, its the Drums that kinda take away from this. The Drums seem to follow one monotonous pattern, and the Snare isn't punchy enough, its more poppy then anything.
Still, keep up with composing! The melody was rather nice, and you only recently got your Music Program, keep practicing! :)

A former employee of Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) is facing criminal charges after he allegedly passed trade secrets to a blogger in France, U.S. court documents showed.
Russian national Alex Kibkalo, a former Microsoft employee in Lebanon and Russia, admitted to Microsoft investigators that he provided confidential company documents and information to the blogger, documents from a Seattle federal court showed.
The blogger, who was not identified, was known to those in the Microsoft blogging community for posting screenshots of pre-release version of the Windows Operating System. The blogger hid his identity stating falsely that he was from Quebec, according to the documents.
An internal investigation by Microsoft revealed unauthorized transmissions of proprietary and confidential trade secrets, according to the court documents. An email from Kibkalo was found within the blogger's Hotmail account, establishing that he shared confidential data.
"We take protection of our intellectual property very seriously, including cooperating with law-enforcement agencies who are investigating potential criminal actions by our employees or others," a Microsoft spokesman said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
A lawyer representing Kibkalo could not be reached for comment immediately outside regular U.S. business hours.
The court documents said during interviews, the blogger admitted to posting information on Twitter and his websites and selling Windows Server activation keys on eBay.
According to Microsoft's investigation, in July and August 2012, Kibkalo uploaded proprietary software including pre-release software updates of Windows 8 RT and ARM devices, as well as the Microsoft Activation Server Software Development Kit (SDK) to a computer in Washington and subsequently to his personal Windows Live SkyDrive account.
Microsoft product teams use the SDK in customizing their product code to ensure proper validation in the product key activation process.
Kibkalo, who worked with Microsoft for seven years, received a poor performance review in 2012 and threatened to resign if the review was not amended, the documents showed.
According to an FBI agent who was part of the investigation, Kibkalo has relocated to Russia and based on a LinkedIn account, he is currently working for another U.S.-based technology company with offices in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
The case is in USA v. Kibkalo, Case No 2:14-mj-00114-MAT, U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington at Seattle.

Don't Forget The Small Employer Health Care Credit
- By: Paul Neiffer
- November 18th, 2012
- 1 Comment
We tend to talk more about the tax costs of Obama Care and forget about some of the tax savings that are available. One of those savings is for employers that cover part or all of their health insurance premium costs.
This credit is allowed in full assuming less than 11 employees and average wages of $25,000. It is fully phased out if you employ more than 25 employees or the average wage is greater than $50,000. A 35% credit is available during years 2010-13. For 2014-15, the credit can be up to 50%.
Many employers have not taken advantage of this credit since there is some paperwork involved. However, if you pay a substantial amount of your employee's health insurance premiums and you meet both two tests, it is worth the paperwork. However, if your average wage exceeds about $45,000, it may not be worth all of the paperwork involved.
