Sometimes I like to take my "city mice" out to the country for a change of pace. I love our urban lives, but I also want my kids to understand that food grows in the ground and appreciate different lifestyles. I bet you do too, right?
Today, I am thrilled to welcome Kristen Holub, a stay-at-home mother of 2 and the author of Eco-Activista. Between preschool drop-offs, park visits and playdates, she shares tips, experiences and info relevant to living a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle while raising a family in the city. Kristen is here to tell you about a wonderful way to teach your kids about where their food comes from (all while having some good 'ol family fun).
We've all heard the sad stories about when an adult asks a city (or suburban, for that matter) kid, "Where does our food come from?", and the child answers, "From the store." What do yours say when you ask them? My four year old answered, "I don't know. Here?" (we were at a restaurant when I asked). Well, whether yours are well educated on the subject of farm to fork or don't know the difference between a farm and a food store, chances are they have never had the chance to milk a goat...but now they can!
Angelic Organics is my favorite farm ever because they have been supplying our seasonal vegetables since before my children were ever a thought. They also have a wonderful non-profit on the farm called the Angelic Organics Learning Center (AOLC) who has some really amazing and completely affordable children's programming. Located in Caledonia, IL, AOLC is just under 2 hours away from Chicago. Just close enough for a day trip. Their next event for ages 3-5, Preschoolers! Fresh Food From the Farm is coming up on Sept 9th and includes picking "fresh carrots, gathering eggs from the chickens and trying their hand at milking a goat!" can also try hardboiled eggs from the farm and make a salad snack straight from the field. Now not many preschoolers I know like to eat salad, but most do like to try things that they have a hand in making, and in this case not only will they make it, but they likely get to harvest it and see the ingredients while they are still connected to the soil. How cool is that? I'll bet that increases the chances of their eating salad, right? Your children will learn and expand their palette without even realizing it's happening.
To see a farm in action is an amazingly rich learning experience. For children and people of all ages who have ever wondered how food gets to their plates, nothing is as awe-inspiring as seeing rows upon rows of carrots, lettuces, kale, radishes, etc. This is the food that should be feeding America. It makes me so proud to eat the produce that comes straight from a farm here in IL. It tastes so fresh, flavorful and delicious! So register to take your kids up to Caledonia and visit AOLC this weekend (space is limited), or click here to see if there's another event that better fits your calendar.

Writing a Capstone Project: Tips from 3 Pros
Learning how to write a capstone project is usually a requirement for passing a specialized course. In fact, capstone projects are often directly associated with writing a major paper while in a Master's Degree program (though you do not necessarily need to be involved in a Master's Degree program to be required to write one of these papers). Oftentimes, honors-level courses will require the successful completion of a capstone project in order to finalize the class.
Since the requirement to write a capstone project can be associated with a wide variety of different courses and subject areas, the precise requirements for completion of a capstone project may vary according to the course and the instructor or instructors that will be assessing the project. Regardless, capstone project writing should help you with solving a real problem or with meeting a real challenge within a particular area of study. As such, the general topic of the capstone project may be assigned to you or you may be called upon to develop your own topic for the project.
Since the written portion of a capstone project is generally quite large and contains forty or more pages of written work, it is essential to devote a substantial amount of time to the research and writing.
While a major paper in a Master's Degree program will tend to be informative, a capstone project should be more applied. In other words, your report should be able to demonstrate your understanding of the concept as well as how the concept can be put to work with real-life applications.
After determining the topic that you will be exploring when writing a final report, you will then need to conduct research into the topic. By reading a substantial amount of literature regarding the topic, you will be able to develop your thesis statement. Your thesis statement is the one sentence that describes what your entire capstone project will be about. All subsequent information in your capstone project should then support your thesis statement.
Once you have determined your thesis statement, you will need to thoroughly research the topic in order to find information that will support your statement and general capstone project writing. While you will need to present facts that you have found through your research, you will also need to interpret those facts and draw reasonable conclusions concerning how these facts can apply to real life situations. A well-written capstone project will need to include plenty of facts to support your interpretations.
Since a capstone project is a rather lengthy paper, it will take careful planning and organization in order to make sure the ideas flow together properly and result in a well-written report. Therefore, once you have gathered your research material, you should create an outline for the document. Each step of the outline should transition smoothly into the next in a logical fashion, with all steps helping to support the thesis statement.
Once you finish writing a final report, it is important to proofread for mistakes and for flow. Most people find it helpful to complete the report and then wait several days before rereading it, as this helps them look at the report with "fresh eyes," which makes it easier to spot mistakes.
Viewpoint of Author #2
A capstone project is a research and writing assignment that a learner will generally write as part of a graduate degree program. Capstone projects are assignments in which a student researches a particular subject in-depth and then writes an extended paper about the particular subject.
When a student begins work on his or her final report, the first step is to define what research he or she will undertake. The student will then research the subject using books and other references. However, the learner will not generally perform experiments as part of his or her capstone projects.
Each capstone project needs to have a thesis that the learner will defend in the body of the work. This thesis should be based on the accumulation of research that the student has performed.
Any course can have a capstone project. Also, learners can work on more than one capstone project during their academic careers. However, learners will only write one capstone project paper per course and, in many cases, graduate degree programs only require that students work on capstone projects for upper-level and very specific courses. Therefore, while a student might work on several capstone projects during his or her career, many learners will only work on one capstone project at a time.
While students in graduate school are required to write a wide variety of papers, a capstone project is different from other types of writing assignments because it is very research-intensive. When a student commits to writing about a particular subject in his or her final report, the student is committing to study the subject for an extended period of time, which may even be an entire semester or year (depending on the course).
Capstone projects are similar to term papers in many ways. Both are written works that a pupil writes after a long period of study (usually at the end of a semester). The most important difference between the two assignments is that capstone projects are practical documents that learners write in order to demonstrate the depth of their knowledge about a subject. They are neither opinion-based nor do they serve as a medium for a learner to demonstrate critical thinking skills. Term papers, however, often require learners to not only demonstrate their knowledge of a subject, but also to use critical thinking skills to analyze information or documents.
Furthermore, capstone projects are also usually assigned in graduate programs while term papers may be assigned during any level of academic program, including high school and undergraduate school.
Viewpoint of Author #3
Capstone projects are articles that students need to write after spending an extended amount of time researching one particular subject for a course. In most cases, learners will write capstone project reports for undergraduate courses. In many senses, capstone projects are very similar to thesis projects and may also be the last document that a learner will write in order to graduate from a Master's program, depending on the unique definition used by a school or a professor.
Regardless of the definition of a final report, all students should take the same course in order to research and write the document. The first step is to understand the project requirements. In many cases with final reports, learners will not only need to research a topic in books and other printed materials, but students may also have to perform hands-on research, such as research through an internship or experiments.
Once a student understands the requirements of the final report, the student sure be sure that he or she understands the topic that he or she will focus on throughout the capstone project. This is the topic that the learner will spend a great deal of time over the course of the semester researching.
During the research for the final reports, students need to keep detailed journals of their discoveries. These journals will help learners to stay organized and remember what they have learned. These journals will also make the writing process easier and faster.
Once the student has completed his or her research, the student should write an outline for the capstone projects paper. The outline will provide a guideline that students need to follow as they complete their documents. The outline will also serve as the starting point to the actual writing.
Only after a student has completed an outline for the capstone projects report should the student actually begin to write the document. The report should have many drafts completed before the student turns it in for a grade. Therefore, students need to make sure that they allow plenty of time for edits.
While a capstone project is very similar to a Master's thesis, there is often a difference. In many cases, a capstone project is not just a paper; it is also an actual project that requires hands-on experience by the pupil. A masters thesis does not always require hands-on experience and often relies solely on research.

4 1/2 stars. This was pretty good. I used freshly squeezed lime juice, sea salt, fresh yellow beans which I steamed and canola oil to be soy free.
This was so simple and good! I only had frozen cut green beans and I ommitted the parsley. I let it sit at room temperature for about an hour and the flavor just kept improving. It was light and refreshing, and I think it would be great with fresh green beans. Will definitely make again!

First off: thanks for creating this plugin, it's very, very useful. Unfortunately, in my setup it doesn't work yet.
Here's the story:
(WP 3.0.1 multisite install and the latest BuddyPress)
My setup:
blog 1: domain.com ("my first blog")
blog 2: subdomain.domain.com ("a second blog")
blog 3: bp.domain.com ("my buddypress site")
in wp_config I have defined BP_ROOT_BLOG to be 3.
After installing the plugin it is setting options of blog nr 1, which is not my buddypress blog.
After changing all

Things looked a bit better.
In the options-list in the admin panel, I'm allowed only to pick "a second blog" (blog 2) and "my buddypress site" (blog 3).
So not blog 1. Which happens to be the blog I want to be able for people to join.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Citizens of Humanity
LOOK BOOK: Citizens of Humanity Summer 2014
If I could describe what summer in Southern California will be, this new Citizens of Humanity look book would be just that. When I saw these pieces in person, my first thought was these will be staples in everyone's closet.
The jumpsuits are very lightweight and ideal for the 100 degree weather that we will surely be having. They also have a sun bleached Hawaiian print that comes in both overalls and carpenter shorts that are more amazing in person than they are photographed. They are very subtle, yet so unique and will have people taking a closer look. Also available will be the always classic distressed styles that you can never really have enough of. You can these styles and more below.
Weekend Going Out Look: Citizens of Humanity Rocket in Black Diamond
I got a bit inspired by Barbara Martelo's look here. Since I saw it, I could not think of any look that could be cooler to influence my idea for this post. I chose the Citizens of Humanity Rocket in Black Diamond as they are one of the best high waisted jeans out right now in my opinion. The proportion and position of the back pockets give the back a flattering look instead of a dated mom's vibe that others tend to lean towards.
As the boots are pretty much irreplaceable, I chose the exact boots as Barbara's by Saint Laurent. I then chose a jacket from Topshop, a t shirt from Organic by John Patrick, and finished it with a belt by Isabel Marant. You can even take that Barbara Martelo look even further by topping it all off with some classic Ray-Bans. What are you readers looking forward to this weekend?
Heidi Klum in Citizens of Humanity Racer Skinny Jeans in Crosby
How amazing does Heidi Klum look here? She was seen leaving LAX Airport in Los Angeles, California while listening to music on her headphones.
Heidi wore her Citizens of Humanity Racer jeans in Crosby with a black jacket, scarf and boots. This outfit is similar to the one I blogged Kate Moss wearing this morning and I think Heidi looks just as good! This is a great pairing! Do you like it too? You can buy Citizens of Humanity online at Shopbop.com.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Citizens of Humanity Frankie Jeans in Glastonbury
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was spotted out on a date with boyfriend Jason Statham in West Hollywood, California. The model wore a pair of Citizens of Humanity Frankie Relaxed Fit jeans in Glastonbury with a knit sweater and some pumps.
We rarely get many sightings of Rosie now. Her style is impeccable thought and it never gets tiring to see all the time. This look is no exception. The way she made a boyfriend style feel less easy and dressed up with pumps and the accessories is really great. Do you readers miss seeing Rosie on here? You can click here to purchase these jeans from the Citizens of Humanity website for $294.

Charlene is a tireless advocate for her clients. Her willingness to provide the best result each and every time is what separates her from other family law attorneys. Charlene is with her clients every step of the way. She believes that communication is the key to a great attorney-cleint relationship. I truly recommend her services.

I got Charlene by pure chance, the lawyer who was previously assigned to my case parted ways with the company. Charlene was very down to earth and put my mind at ease when I had questions I felt were unreasonable. She responded within a matter of minutes when I left messages through her office or emailed her. Charlene was very respondant and I appreiciated her hard work and understanding.

Ice Skating
Orthopedic surgeon Angela Smith, isn't just a fan of ice skating. She's also the former chairwoman of the U.S. Figure Skating Sports Medicine Committee and continues to win medals in the U.S. Figure Skating National Showcase.
"I think [ice skating] truly addresses all components of fitness at any level," she says. "It can be done across a lifetime and can be done individually or as a group sport. All those things [together] make it a pretty unique sport in my mind."
Ice skating is a low-impact exercise -- unless you're doing a lot of jumps -- that's good for building lower-body muscles including the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves. Performing jumps can build bone mass, Smith adds.
Skating also boosts balance, flexibility, quickness, and agility. Different kinds of skaters develop different muscles. Speed skaters get larger thighs; men who lift a partner have stronger upper bodies; and people who do lots of jumps are less muscular in the upper body, Smith says.
Another benefit, Smith says, is you can burn calories even as a beginner. If you're a new skater, you may use a lot of energy just getting around a rink a few times. As it becomes easier, you can skate longer and continue to build strength and endurance.
Smith's tip for new skaters is to know that skates run about a size below street shoes. Many people don't know this and never get past the pain. "There is no such thing as weak ankles," she says. "The shoes just don't fit right."
Ice Hockey
If you like group activities, ice hockey may be the perfect winter sport.
Michael Bracko, director of the Institute for Hockey Research, says, "It's fun in the dressing room before getting on the ice, and it's usually an absolute riot after the game. Everyone is having fun and making jokes and making fun of each other."
Aside from the camaraderie, the sport exercises the same groups of muscles as other types of ice skating do. That includes the lower body and abdominals, which maintain balance, and the upper body, which is used to move the hockey stick.

Unless you're taking a six month sabbatical in Spain in or bringing a load of gifts to your destination, traveling with just a carry-on is almost always the easiest and cheapest option. Think it seems unrealistic to pack enough for a backpacking trip or a long business conference in just a 22-in suitcase and small personal bag? Think again. Take it from this blogger, who fit seven bottoms, eight tops, three pairs of shoes, two pajamas, nine pairs of underwear, four bras, three belts, jewelry, a flat iron, hairbrush, makeup bag, glasses, toiletries, and blog gear all into an overhead compartment-friendly suitcase, anything is possible. Keep in mind these tips next time you're considering checking a bag.
- Rolling is your friend. Not only does it take up less space than folding, but it reduces wrinkles and makes it easier to see everything you have in your suitcase.
- Buy some essentials at your destination. Does it really make sense to spend $2 to $4 on tiny travel sized shampoos and soaps that will barely last you two days, when you could easily pick up a full-sized 2-in-1 that will last your whole trip and that you won't feel bad about tossing upon your return? If you're not picky about brands, this saves you precious packing space and a couple of dollars in the end.
- Opt for face wipes over face wash. This one's a no-brainer. Face wipes don't count towards your liquids limit and they're mess-free for freshening up on-the-go.
- Dress smart. Make your outfit travel-friendly and economical by wearing your bulkiest items (sneakers, jeans, coats) instead of trying to squeeze them into your suitcase. One pair of sneakers = ballet flats, flip flops, and an extra blouse, which is some math we can actually get excited about.
- Trade a tiny purse for a backpack. Your personal item just needs to fit under the seat, so instead of packing your laptop in your suitcase, take a backpack instead. You can pack your electronics, travel documents, a book, a snack, and your more fashionable shoulder bag inside a backpack for easy access at security and during the flight.
What are your secret tips for traveling light?

Perhaps I don't remember the movie well enough, but when Nina began singing like this, I felt like I was watching the independent film, Little Voice.

She was preparing herself for the notes and the "rests" and breaths before playing the French horn.

Ubuntu 9.04 Server Certified on HP ProLiant G6
Hewlett-Packard and the Canonical Linux firm have announced certification of the Ubuntu 9.04 Server Edition on HP's ProLiant G6 server family.
The family addition from the certification agreement of Ubuntu software and HP hardware provides 17 ProLiant configurations. Tests for certification took place in the Canonical Labs and HP found them worthy. A ProLiant support pack for Ubuntu is a palpable result for users. It includes services, drivers and tools for server management, and will be provided by HP.
HP expanded its ProLiant G6 server line in early June by 11 new models. Some of the models are the first with the six-core AMD Opteron processor. HP considers the new servers "powerful, cost-effective, and energy-efficient."

text: As the SPARC port is currently stalled (as it appears to be the case that the third (ucontext) argument to SA_SIGINFO signal handlers is not currently implemented in SPARC/linux), I have returned to the issue of generating code for backend variants. The only example in the current CVS sources is the pair of translators for double-float %log1p (flog1p and flog1p-pentium). As was explained on this list, both VOPs work on pentium-class and above machines; on earlier machines, however, the fyl2xp1 instruction behaved slightly differently, necessitating a range check. The attached patch[1] * implements the simplest possible interface for controlling backend-subfeature optimization (a new special variable); * updates the %log1p VOPs to reflect both this interface and the deduction that both VOPs work fine on high machines. The issues: 1. This is really the simplest interface from the implementor's point of view, not necessarily the user's. The typical use is enviseaged as either a setf at initialization, or (let ((sb-c:*backend-subfeatures* (list :pentium-style-fyl2xp1))) (compile-file "foo")). A more invasive change would be to place something in the options slot of the ir1-lexenv, that could then be queried at the template use stage. This doesn't look terribly attractive immediately as the lexenv-policy by that stage has been distilled to one of four values (:small, :fast, :safe, :fast-safe), and just those keywords are passed around at present. 2. This is further complicated by the fact that there are two issues here; firstly, should the runtime have the optimized code compiled in if possible, so that calls to (in this example) atanh are fast, or should it not? This patch takes the view that the runtime should be as general as possible, but maybe there could be a similar mechanism to customize-target-features? 3. I've changed to :pentium-style-fyl2xp1 as the `subfeature' in question. Last time we discussed this WHN suggested :pentium-or-later (as that's what this means) but that kind of thing has a tendency to be broken by later developments too. :pentium-style-fly2xp1 is a bit wordy, but this possibly means that this shouldn't be the final interface; if we had (declare (target-variant :pentium-exactly)) put all the relevant keywords onto sb-c:*backend-subfeatures* then this would be (mostly) hidden from the user. I hope that that's some food for thought, Cheers, Christophe [1] I've edited the patch by hand slightly, mostly for whitespace reasons. I sincerely hope it doesn't break, but if it does let me know and I can be suitably embarrassed... -- Jesus College, Cambridge, CB5 8BL +44 1223 510 299 http://www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~csr21/ (defun pling-dollar (str schar arg) (first (last +))) (make-dispatch-macro-character #\! t) (set-dispatch-macro-character #\! #\$ #'pling-dollar)

We have a subnet shared by two domains which has its own DNS servers. Forward lookup zone does not have a problem because the workstations will go and register itself on its respective DNS server. I have problem in setting up the reverse lookup zone. How do I setup the reverse lookup zone so that I can nslookup on any addresses from any domain and I get the correct reply back.
From what I understand about your request, you want to have a delegation for in-addr.arpa resolution (reverse lookups) at a sub-class level. You might take a look at this document describing the process in some detail or refer to RFC 2317 which describes the IETF best current practice on this topic.
The trouble with your Windows domains would be that you probably let your clients (or DHCP servers) update the reverse lookup zones on your DNS servers - these update mechanisms are unaware of any eventual classless delegation setups and cannot be configured to function correctly in these environments. If you need this, you probably will have to script your DNS servers to "copy" the PTR records within the zone to your CIDR-delegated zone. You can do this using either dnscmd, the "DnsShell" powershell module or the DNS WMI provider.
Take a look here. It explains how to configure a reverse DNS zone on Windows Server.
Also, you need to ask your upstream provider the delegation of the reverse DNS lookup zone for your subnet.

|"Final Crisis Aftermath: Run!" #1 on sale in May
Recognized as a rising star at DC Comics, writer Matthew Sturges is on every editorâs most wanted list. And now heâs writing a story about a guy who fits the same bill -- except in the case of the Human Flame, the target on his chest is far more disconcerting, as fans will see on May 6, when Sturges (âJack of Fables,â âHouse of Mysteryâ) and artist Freddie E. Williams II (âRobin,â âThe Flashâ) launch the six-issue miniseries, âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Run!â
First introduced in 1959 in âDetective Comicsâ #274, the Human Flame â a.k.a. Michael Miller -- returned to the scene in last yearâs âFinal Crisis,â where he murdered the Martian Manhunter at the request of Libra, filming the whole thing with his cell phone. Now, every superhero in DCU wants Michael Miller to pay. But at the same time, the supervillains of the DCU donât like the Flame either, because he backed the treacherous Libra as the new leader of the baddies' fraternity.
CBR News spoke to Sturges from his home in Austin, Texas about why â after 50 years â it was time to give Human Flame his own solo series.
CBR: Whatâs there to love about The Human Flame? Heâs got no friends and a whole whack of enemies, so how do you write him as a lead of a six-issue miniseries?
Matthew Sturges: I think that Human Flame definitely falls into the âlove to hateâ category. He has almost no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Heâs a train wreck of a human being â and that mustache! But thereâs something very compelling about him as he wakes up in the reality of the DCU after âFinal Crisis.â Heâs a man alone, a man who will do anything to survive. And thereâs an indomitable core to him that keeps him going where a lesser villain would simply give up and submit to his fate.
And while the story is very much about him and his rise to great power, he also acts as a lens through which we can see whatâs happening in some odd little corners of the DCUâs underworld.
The thing that, to me, makes him such a compelling character, though, is the fact that in his mind, he is utterly justified in everything heâs ever done. Heâs not a villain, or a loser, or a joke to himself. And seeing how Human Flameâs reality collides with everyone elseâs is a big part of the fun of this book. And these collisions are taking place constantly â thereâs no downtime in this series.
The Human Flame was a blip on the DCU timeline before Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones made him an important player in âFinal Crisis.â Do you explore the Human Flameâs back-story and/or origin at all in the miniseries?
In the first issue of the series, we encounter some of this in passing, but what drives the story isnât who the Human Flame was. He was nobody. Weâre focused on what heâs becoming, and how it happens. That said, we do get to see the prototype of his âcrime suit,â and itâs a sight to see. Itâs not pretty, I can tell you that.
Does one have to have read âFinal Crisisâ to follow along with âRun!â?
No. âRun!â picks up from the moment Human Flame (or Fire Weasel, as editor Ian Sattler likes to call him) wakes up in the hospital following the events of âFinal Crisis,â and it never looks back. This is not a reflective miniseries, or a complex metatextual examination of the superhero gestalt. This is a book about a guy who can shoot fire from his nipples, running for his life. And it's a hell of a lot of fun.
The solicitations tease this series examines the âunderbelly of the DCU.â Who are the other major players in this series?
I donât want to spoil anything, so I canât tell you any of the big names, though there are a few. The series starts in the underbelly of the underbelly, with some of the least-well-known names in all of villainy. These arenât D-list villains. Theyâre more like, I donât know, N-list villains. There are also some Kyrgyzstani mobsters. What I'll bet you didnât know is that the Kyrgyzstanis in the DCU is a group of people you definitely donât want to anger. Iâm sure that Kyrgyzstanis in our world are absolutely lovely people.
Does The Human Flame have any allies?
He believes he does. But heâs not very good at making or keeping friends. He does get a love interest of sorts, though.
Who is chasing Human Flame in âRun!â?
Who isnât chasing him? Thereâs pretty much nobody in the DCU that has any positive feelings toward Human Flame. Thatâs exactly why heâs the central character of âRun!â The villains hate him because he was the one who vouched for Libra and led to all of the grief that they experienced. The heroes hate him because he was responsible for the death of Martian Manhunter. The Kyrgyzstani mob hates him for reasons that will become very clear early on, and heâs got no fans in the nursing profession, or in the world of costumed mascots, I can tell you that much.
Where were you when Martian Manhunter died?
I was on my back porch, talking to âSalvation Runâ editor Joey Cavalieri. When I was writing âSalvation Run,â the death of Jâonn Jâonnz was such a secret that they didnât even tell me about it until I was writing the last issue of the series. I was the last person to write Martian Manhunter alive. It makes me feel uneasy.
Does Martian Manhunter play a role in âFina Crisis Aftermath: Run!â? Even posthumously?
Only in the sense that the specter of his death hangs over the way that people relate to Human Flame. Of course, I havenât written the last issue yet.
What can you say about the work of artist Freddie E. Willams?
Iâve been a fan of Freddieâs since I first laid eyes on his stuff in âRobin.â Heâs got a really fascinating process. Itâs all done digitally, and so watching the art develop from his breaks to his finished art is totally different from the standard practice of penciled breakdowns followed by finished pencils, and inks. Itâs really cool, and the stuff that heâs doing on âRun!â is beautifully visceral and kinetic. Even the few pages where nothing violent is happening have a feeling of momentum to them thatâs beautiful to see.
Anything else you can share about the project?
âRun!â is a pretty unique book. It has a sensibility and an energy that you donât often see in superhero comics. With a project thatâs somewhere off the beaten path, itâs not always easy to put a team together where everyone âgetsâ it, but on âRun!â weâre all on the same page, and weâre all really happy with how it's turning out.
Ian Sattler came to me with the basic premise, and it matched up with a certain kind of book that Iâd been interested in writing for a while â something that was paced so relentlessly that the reader scarcely got a chance to breathe. We had a fantastic time brainstorming ideas, kicking things back and forth, laughing our heads off. Weâre all having a blast making the thing, and I think that canât help but show up in the final product.
Do you have any other new projects coming in 2009?
Of course, Iâve got âJustice Society of Americaâ starting in the summer, with co-writer Bill Willingham and artist Jesus Merino, whoâs doing a bang-up job so far. Bill and I knew exactly what we wanted to do out of the gate, and weâve actually already written five monthsâ worth of scripts.
And thereâs another project that Iâm incredibly happy about, but canât announce yet. I think when people hear about it, theyâre going to say, âThanks, DC!â
That ought to keep me busy for a while, I think!
âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Run!â #1 goes on sale in May from DC Comics.Â

and playing catch-up with TAX to offer RAL?
Couple years ago, John Hewitt was thinking of buying a bank to offer RAL. He didnot do it after all. So he was either a luck guy or he knew something about the business.
Without a bank TAX will be the only major player offering RAL in 2013 and Block is playing catch up by getting out of the bank regulation.
Um, he definitely knew something about the business. Federal regulations prohibit tax preparers from loaning tax prep clients their refunds. Think about the conflict of interest that would create. Even when Block offered RALs, they could not be funded thru HRB Bank--hence the contract with HSBC. To my knowledge, all of the banks that funded RALS for the major tax prep chains are now out of the RAL business. Note that the Christmas loans are not RALs but regular bank loans. Is TAX really going to offer refund loans this tax season? What bank are they working with?
TAX has been offering refund loans outside of the RAL program for a couple of years in some states. Only time will tell if they offer them in a lot more this year.
If they do, they have a great competitive edge for early season clients.
Let's hope Block doesn't try to figure out a way to get back into the RAL business. At one point, the first year they couldn't get RAL's, they almost had a loan deal through HRB similar to the Christmas (Emerald Advance), but I don't think they could get it through the regulators. I had very few people complain that first year about lack of RAL's and nobody last year. It's better for the whole industry if RAL's just go away.
Block Bank was originally charted to buy mortgages from H&R Block Mortgage and resell them into the market. The selling of Block Bank is a good thing because it's a money losing operation. Anyone who thinks the selling of Block Bank is a bad thing, clearly does not know this company.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
It is always good for any company to get rid of its non-profitable side business.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't remenber Block ever made any monies from any of its side business, starting from Compuserve, most of them were losing money after a few year of operations, Other than mortgage, Block's bank was set up to offer bank products, might included RAL, to tax clients.
As a shareholder, I suggest Block shold invest its profit back to its core business or buying T-bill or T-notes instead of buying any other side business which mostly endup in a losing position.
Without the losing busines,, Block would payout a lot more dividend every quarter.
Not sure I agree. You can't always take a unit's financials in a company statement as a stand alone company. Many companies shift costs to different units depending on how they want to present the information.
Also the Emerald Card and Christmas loan product is used as a draw for Block's early season clients. Without the loan would they lose some of the early season clientele? I think they would which means it hurts earnings for the tax part of the company as well.

Install Message Queuing servers
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
To install Message Queuing servers
Open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the Windows Components Wizard, select the Application Server check box, click Details, select the Message Queuing check box, and then click Details.
On the Message Queuing page, you can select the following subcomponents for your Message Queuing server:
To provide message routing services, select the Routing Support check box.
To install the Message Queuing directory service, which provides access to Message Queuing objects in Active Directory for MSMQ 1.0 clients running on Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows Millennium Edition and Windows NT 4.0 computers, and for MSMQ 2.0 clients running on Windows 2000 computers, select the Downlevel Client Support check box.
If the computer belongs to a domain and you want it to operate in workgroup mode, clear the Active Directory Integration check box. In this case, you cannot install Routing Support.
If you want to install Message Queuing Triggers, select the Triggers check box.
If you intend to send messages by HTTP transport, select the MSMQ HTTP Support check box.
- To provide message routing services, select the Routing Support check box.
Click OK, and then click Next.
If prompted, type the DNS or NetBIOS name of an MSMQ 1.0 PEC or PSC (in a Windows NT 4.0 enterprise) in the local site, and then click Next.
Follow the remaining instructions in the wizard.
To open Add or Remove Programs, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.
Message Queuing 3.0 servers can be installed only on computers running on platforms from the Windows Server 2003 family.
Only Message Queuing 3.0 clients, not servers, can be installed in a Windows NT 4.0 enterprise.
During setup, an attempt is made to automatically detect the nearest Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 domain controller in the local site or in a nearby site. If a suitable domain controller cannot be found, Setup assumes that you are installing a Message Queuing client in a Windows NT 4.0 environment and prompts you for the name of a controller server (PEC or PSC) before Setup can continue.
The following subcomponents are selected by default for 32-bit servers: Active Directory Integration and Common (consisting of Core functionality and Local Storage).
In a Windows Server 2003 site, to provide access to Message Queuing objects in Active Directory for Message Queuing 1.0 clients on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0 computers, or Message Queuing 2.0 clients running on Windows 2000 computers, you must install a Message Queuing server with the Downlevel Client Support check box selected on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller in that site, or you must install a Message Queuing server on a Windows 2000 domain controller in that site. For MSMQ 1.0 clients, you must also configure the applicable domain controller as a global catalog server, and each MSMQ 1.0 client must have such a domain controller from its own domain in the site.
Although the Downlevel Client Support component can be installed on all Message Queuing servers, it is relevant only for domain controllers. If it is installed on a computer that is not a domain controller, it only becomes active if the server is converted to a domain controller.
You can install a Message Queuing server without Routing Support in workgroup mode if the computer is part of a Windows Server 2003 family workgroup. In this case, only private queues can be accessed and direct connectivity is required to send messages. For more information, see Related Topics.
If you are installing a Message Queuing server with Downlevel Client Support on a domain controller and security has not been weakened in your organization to support MSMQ 1.0 clients or clients logged on with local user accounts, you will be prompted during installation about whether or not to weaken security. Weaken security only if you want to support such clients.
Do not attempt to use Message Queuing 3.0 files to create a Message Queuing server on a computer that does not belong to the Windows Server 2003 family.
Information about functional differences
Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.

A forty-five degree angle is taken in relationship to the enemy (which is why the move is at that angle in the kata) as the forearm hits the neck. The foot goes behind the enemy's leg before it is pulled backwards as the cat stance is assumed. This will lengthen the enemy's stance such that a push on the chin at ninety-degrees to the line of the stance will take them off balance and to the floor.

Great burgers. Easy to make and such wonderful flavors. Served with a salad and cucumber ranch dressing. Used The Realtor's Cucumber Ranch Salad Dressing.
Great burgers. I simply massaged the filling into the ground beef and then shaped into patties. Wonderful flavours and so easy to make. Thanks for posting.
We couldn't get the burgers to come out properly, with the filling staying inside! So we mixed the filling throughout the burgers and they were very tasty! I particularly liked the oregano so upped the amount a good deal! The ranch worked very well with this recipe. Thanks for a lovely treat! Made for ZWT6.

Photo Details
The Glendale Heritage Preservation Museum is part of a shopping district in Glendale, Ohio. It used to be a railway depot, and has been refurbished. It was one of the railway depots to which Mary Genevieve Bishop from Terra Alta, West Virginia ws assigned to work as a telegrapher, others being Caro and Ottawa, both in Ohio. During World War II, twenty some women were trained by the B & O Railroad, to take the places of their male telegraphers who had been called into military service. After the war, Mary and her best friend, Esther Phifer, were the only two women who were retained by the B & O. Mary went on to marry George Clarence Carl, who was also a railway telegrapher before and after he served in the war. His marriage proposal, made over the railroad's Morse teletype key, was intercepted up and down the line, and made the area newspapers. They were married in Elmwood, and later on, they both worked together in the depot at Cridersville, Ohio.

This is my searchform.php template:
<form class="search-form" action="<?php echo home_url( '/suche/' ); ?>" method="get">

Suche…
<input type="text" name="s" class="s" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" />
<button type="submit" class="search-button">Suchen</button>
Since I'm developing a page in german language I want the german word "suche" instead of "search".
When searching for
car in the searchbar I get all results for car just as you'd expect it.
If I search however for
beautiful car the search-page doesn't return anything because the search-string is transformed to
Any idea what could cause this behaviour and how to fix this?
In my search.php template I have this
<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>
 which also shows that the search query was beautiful20%car and not beautiful car. Why is that?
Maybe it's because of the following functions inside functions.php
* Change search- & paginationbase
add_action( 'generate_rewrite_rules', 'wr_generate_rewrite_rules' );
function wr_generate_rewrite_rules( $rewrite ) {
$rewrite->rules = array_merge( array(
'suche/([^/]+)(?:/seite/(\d+))?/?' => 'index.php?s='.$rewrite->preg_index(1).'&paged='.$rewrite->preg_index(2)
), $rewrite->rules );

if ( !is_search() )
return $link;
// Attempt to parse the page number from the provided URL
if ( !preg_match( '#/page/(\d+)#', $link, $matches ) )
return $link;
// Return a re-formed URL
return home_url( '/suche/' . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) . '/seite/' . $matches[0] );
However I got help with those functions and don't actually know how they work.

No good time' for bankruptcy
Published: Wednesday, October 5, 2005 at 11:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 5, 2005 at 11:05 a.m.
If there was ever a good time to declare bankruptcy, this would be it.
My daughter allowed just enough time on the radio station for that line this weekend, before switching the channel in search of something with a beat, prompting me to howl for her to stop and go back. I wanted to know who was saying this stuff.
She tried, but we never managed to find the station again.
The words were ringing in my ears (I made her find the notebook that is always in my car so she could write them down). And whoever the mystery commentator was, he is not alone.
Sadly, much as I would like to think that there is never a good time to seek protection in federal bankruptcy court, its hard to argue the point.
The question, for those people who might actually consider bankruptcy as a real financial option, is whether or not they are already too late.
New federal bankruptcy rules go into effect on Oct. 17, raising the bar on standards an individual must meet to qualify for liquidation where all debts are forgiven -- under the bankruptcy code. The rules also will increase paperwork, making the process a bit more cumbersome and expensive.
Thats the basic reason for the file now thinking.
The changes in the bankruptcy law are not actually going to impact everyone in fact, many of the people rushing to file now might not have much problem if they waited until the new rules were in place but thats not keeping people away from the courts.
Lundquist Consulting Inc., the Burlingame, Calif. firm that compiles bankruptcy statistics from daily court reports noted that filings during the last week of September jumped to more than 68,000 nationwide, up from a normal level of roughly 30,000. The firm reports that filings thus far in 2005 are up 14 percent from a year ago, standing at more than 1.3 million cases.
That situation creates a different problem.
For anyone on the verge of bankruptcy thinking they will rush into court now before the new provisions take effect, good luck finding a bankruptcy attorney right now. Most are flat out due to people trying to beat the clock.
Heres the reason behind the rush to file now:
Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings involve liquidation; most unsecured debts can be wiped out.
The new law is designed to push more filers towards Chapter 13, which requires a five-year reorganization and debt-repayment plan.
The new law uses the median income levels in a state as the first test to determine who qualifies for each type of bankruptcy. This means test is adjusted based on the size of the family, so that a larger family is allowed to earn more money and still qualify for Chapter 7.
That said, most experts believe that people who qualify for Chapter 7 today will still be eligible after Oct. 17. The means test will apply to no more than 15 percent of all filers, according to most studies on the subject.
The extra layer of paperwork, from the means test up, will create additional expenses.
Another key component of the new law requires would-be filers to seek credit counseling within 180 days of going to the court.
Bankruptcy judges, trustees and consumer advocates have opposed these changes for years, suggesting that the new rules will hurt families suffering real financial misfortunes in the name of punishing the ones who simply abused their credit cards through reckless overspending.
Indeed, Justice Department has temporarily waived the credit counseling provision for people filing because of Hurricane Katrina damage in Louisiana and southern Mississippi. The problem is that the waiver is temporary, and studies have shown that bankruptcy tends to spike in a region two years after a disaster, the time lag due to the time people spend rebuilding, before further unforeseen circumstances push them past the edge.
The changes are designed to keep people who can afford to pay their bills from abusing the system. The American Bankers Association has said that as many as 10 percent of all filings are made by individuals who are able to repay some or all of their debts, noting that up to $4 billion is written off annually by those kinds of consumers.
The bankers group has a vested interest in those ugly statistics. Talking with countless bankruptcy experts over the years, I would be that no more than about 3 percent of all filings are made by people trying to play the system.
Which brings the whole discussion back to whether its really a good time to file now.
Clearly, if filings are accelerated, the chance that more abusive cases will be filed during the interim period rises.
Thats why the radio host and others advising a filing now are misguided. Theyre suggesting that people become part of the problem that the new law is designed to solve. If the new law makes bankruptcy more difficult on those who truly need it as consumer advocates say the wave of current filings will make it that much tougher for legislators to ever turn back the clock and repeal the new rules.
Speaking of financial distress, another new law this one taking effect in January is forcing many credit card issuers to increase minimum payments due.
The new rule hopes to help consumers chip into card balances by requiring lenders to set minimum payments at a level that covers interest, fees and at least some of the outstanding balance. Effectively, this puts an end to cards with negative amortization, where a consumer pays the minimum each month but the amount is so small that the outstanding balance keeps rising.
In some cases, current minimum payments will double.
Some lenders already have implemented the change, others will soon.
But for consumers in tough straits who are scared by the long-term implications of the new bankruptcy law, the short-term implications of higher monthly minimum payments are something that must be wrestled with immediately.

http://biz.yahoo.com/djus/030508/1347001109_1.htmlMy question was answered.
Hey angel,Can you explain the quotes from your referenced news article:"Empire District Electric Co. said its quarterly earnings could be materially affected..." and"...but the company doesn't expect the damage to have a material effect on its 2003 results."
"Material" may have a definite % meaning. I know it does in other contexts. So suppose the storm may reduce quarterly earnings by more than 10%, but won't reduce annual earnings by more than 10%. This makes sense mathematically, and would justify the sentence.
Essentially, "We fully believe that the storm will not have a material impact, however, there remains the possibility, however remote, that it could due to our insurance company putzing around with the payout, or the maintenance people farting around and not getting the lines up and operational."

But critics point to the waiver's requirement that states adopt college- and career-ready standards as a tacit mandate to adopt the controversial Common Core. And policymakers have suggested that by accepting the waivers, educators have relieved the pressure on Congress to fix No Child Left Behind.
Burningham acknowledges that the waiver comes with federal strings attached. But the board was already working on improving the state's standards when it applied for the waiver, he said, and Utah's educators ultimately see greater local control with — rather than without — a waiver.
Burningham said he is concerned about the effect that ending the waiver in August would have on schools that are just now preparing for the start of a new school year.
By ending the waiver and losing control of tens of millions of dollars, he said the State School Board would effectively be telling school administrators to fire the new teachers and teacher assistants they hired for the upcoming year.
"If indeed this is something to be done, it must be done in a long-term fashion, working with the school districts so they know what they're doing, and working with the Legislature so we know what they really are doing," Burningham said. "For us to precipitously take action is, in my estimation, really premature."
Justin Jones, spokesman for the Salt Lake Chamber, said the decision to forgo control of roughly $25 million is not one that should be arrived at quickly.
"I understand that this waiver extension is only one year long," Jones said. "Taking the next year to evaluate it in the long term is wise."
Individual members of the Legislature have expressed an appetite for compensating the public education system for funds that are jeopardized by the loss of the waiver.
But Burningham, who served as a lawmaker before joining the school board, has cautioned his colleagues on the board that the wishes of individual lawmakers do not always translate into new legislation.
"I've been a legislator for 15 years in the past, and you can't say what the Legislature will do until they do it," he said.
The legality of the waivers has also been questioned, with some suggesting the U.S. Department of Education lacks the constitutional authority to circumvent the legislative process.
Board members requested a legal analysis of the issue from the Utah Attorney General's Office, which is expected to be presented as part of Friday's board meeting.
Christel Swasey, an advocate and organizer from Heber City, said in an email to the Deseret News that the waiver system is "absurd" and opponents are asking the State School Board to call the Department of Education's bluff that sanctions will be levied against schools.
"NCLB is extremely long, and I doubt a single person in the state has read it," she said. "Nobody really knows what will happen if and when we reject it, in terms of money lost. "
Swasey said her group's petition letter had gathered 500 signatures by Thursday morning and was growing by the hour.
When asked about the issue of local control, Swasey described No Child Left Behind as a prison wall and the waivers as a second, taller wall that further binds the state to federal requirements.
She said restoring true local control is a multi-step process that requires first rejecting the waiver and the Common Core State Standards before ultimately freeing the state from No Child Left Behind.
"We aim for true local control, meaning that parents and local school boards and teachers and principals don't have their hands tied and voices silenced by state mandates nor by federal mandates," Swasey said.

I really enjoyed this salad. Came together in a snap. I did adjust amounts to serve myself, which resulted in a two serving size. I also subbed in parsley for the coriander, as I don't care much for it. :)
This was very good. I made it last night for lunch today. My DH took it in his lunch box. He loved it and said he'd like to see it again. I loved it too but I loved it more last night. I think it was better fresh than sitting over night. It was very easy to make, especially with prawns that I bought already cooked. The only things I did different was to use swt onions, no shallot, and added garlic to the dressing. Also, I wanted to mention that I did not like the dressing when I tasted it b4 adding to the salad but I figured there was no turning back. I'm glad I didn't mess with it too much 'cause once on cous cous it was perfect. I also didn't use any corianer 'cause DH doesn't like it. It would look lovely in a lettuce cup for a special lunch. It would also make a nice additon to a cook out or pot luck. I bet it would be very yummy next to grilled chicken or steak. In fact, I think I'll add that to next weeks menu. Thanks for posting this yummy dish. Oh, and your servings were right on. Served 4 perfectly. UPDATE: Yes, it is very good as a side to grilled chicken. I just use a little garlic powder and paprika and a touch of cuman on the chicken. I also added chick peas this time and left out the tomato 'cause I didn't have enough. Another addition I will try is cucumber.

On few occasions in the history of modern management have leadership skills been in such sharp focus as they are now. The ability to direct often very large and diverse organizations; to make sense of the complex and turbulent markets and environments in which you operate; and to adapt and learn seems at an all time premium. The premise behind the fifth edition of this influential Handbook is that leadership, management and organizational development are all parts of the same process; enhancing the capacity of organizations, whatever their size, and the people within them to achieve their purpose. To this end, the editors have brought together a who's who of current writers on leadership and development and created the definitive single volume guide to the subject. The perspectives that the text provides to leadership, learning and development, embrace the formal and the informal, cultures and case examples from organizations of all kinds; and offers readers a rigorous, readable and, where appropriate, ground-breaking book. In the 14 years since the fourth edition of this classic book, very much has changed. But the need for this Handbook is as strong as ever and the Fifth Edition of Gower Handbook of Leadership and Management Development is set to become a definitive read for senior managers and those who develop them and an essential reader for the management students aspiring to become the next generation of leaders.

Edna Pontellier- Lindsay
Edna Pontellier is the protagonist of Chopin's
The Awakening
. Chopin describes Edna in these words, "Mrs. Pontellier's eyes were quick and bright; they were a yellowish brown, about the color of her hair. She had a way of turning them swiftly upon an object and holding them there as if lost in some inward maze of contemplation or thought. Her eyebrows were a shade darker than her hair. They were thick and almost horizontal, emphasizing the depth of her eyes. She was rather handsome than beautiful. Her face was captivating by reason of a certain frankness of expression and a contradictory subtle play of features. Her manner was engaging" (Chopin 4). Edna Pontellier is considered a round character because she is emotionally and mentally developing throughout the course of the novel. Edna begins to find herself unhappy with her marriage and the conservative lifestyle she has been living. She begins to have an attraction to Robert Lebrum; however, she does not take it seriously. Robert showed Edna a type of freedom that she would do anything to acquire. Edna finally cannot take the stresses of living unhappily and kills herself in order to achieve freedom.
Leonce Pontellier- Kelsey
Leonce Pontellier is the husband of Edna Pontellier, the protagonist of the novel. He is an antagonist of sorts because he partly contributes to his wife's feelings of oppression. Although he impacts Edna a great deal, he is not a dynamic character; he stays consistent in his view of Edna as a possession throughout the novel. Also, Mr. Pontellier is a flat character; he is not developed much as a character. We do not learn much about him except that which impacts and concerns Edna Pontellier.
He is described physically as being a forty year old man of an average height and slim build with straight, neat, brown hair. These details, however, mean little. The main significance of Mr. Pontellier's character is his relationship with Edna. For example, Mr. Pontellier looked at his wife "as one looks at valuable piece of personal property" (Chopin 2). Although many of Edna's friends thought him to be the best husband in the world, Edna could not help but feel oppressed. She knew of no better husband and he did not treat her badly considering the typical practices of the time. At that time, it was normal for the man to run the household and expect certain things of a wife. Mr. Pontellier expected her to take care of the children and the household. When she begins to slack on these duties, Mr. Pontellier visits a doctor who is the friend of the family to ask his advice. Dr. Mandelet suggests that Edna's behavior would pass and that Mr. Pontellier would be best to give her some space and time. He does so but continues to worry about how her actions will affect his business. For example, he comes up with an excuse for her moving out because he does not want to risk his business. He is not a bad man or a bad husband. He loves and provides for his family. However, his behavior, which was typical of the period, clashes with Edna's individuality and free spirit.
Robert Lebrun- Chelsea
Robert Lebrun is a young and single man who stays in Grand Isle during the summer. He soon becomes the object of Edna Pontellier's affection. It is known, however, that Robert's passion and dramatic qualities lead him to devote himself to a different woman of Grand Isle each summer. Edna soon realizes that she is in love with Robert. It takes time for Robert to figure out his true feelings for Edna. He then realizes that he is truely in love with her. Then the conflict of love and society arise for Robert. He loves Edna but she is married. Society views women almost like they are a personal item of their husband. Robert is unsure of whether he should break these rules and follow his heart or follow the rules of society. He finally decides that trying to be with Edna would not be a good idea. When he leaves the final time, he leaves Edna a note saying that he's leaving because he loves her.
Alcee Arobin- Chelsea
Alcee Arobin is a charming man with many seductive tactics. He enjoys the challenge of relationships with married women. Edna is left alone while her husband is away in New York and Robert has left for Mexico. During this time, Arobin takes advantage of Edna's situation. He becomes her substitute for affection by fulfilling her physical needs and desires. However, Edna still longs for Robert. During the time she is with Arobin, she never lets him over step her bounderies of power and control. Arobin is merely an outlet for Edna's physical needs and emotions.
