I have a theme and a child theme that I am working on, in localhost on my laptop. I have added menus (main pages) to the menu bar and would like the sub pages to show as drop-down menus.
(other themes I have used just did this), so is there something I should have checked or activated.?
The child theme is one that I purchased, though support has been very good up to this point, I don't seem to be getting an answer on this..

A Philadelphia man who avoided a conviction in city courts despite 44 arrests for armed robbery and other crimes will now serve at least 32 years in federal prison.
John Gassew, 25, was found guilty Wednesday of two counts of robbery and two counts of possessing a firearm while committing a crime. The verdict was returned by a U.S. District Court jury that deliberated over two days.
Federal prosecutors picked up the case in 2010 after The Inquirer profiled Gassew's virtually penalty-free journey through the local courts. For more than a decade, the U.S. Attorney's Office has used its tougher penalties and greater resources to prosecute selected cases ordinarily handled in the city's Common Pleas Court.

As the last post pointed out, fall is here and we are welcoming it with open arms. Shanna and I love this time of year (we got married in it!) and always look forward to the changes and reminders it brings. Yet even though it may be the season to be breaking out hot drinks and jackets, we have an ice cream recipe for you today that we really enjoyed. (Let's be honest, we will be enjoying ice cream year round, even in the dead of winter, so don't be surprised if you see another ice cream recipe from me then.) This ice cream is a great taste of fall though, with its mild pumpkin flavor that sneaks up on the finish. Enjoy! … [Read more...]

SPONSORED POST: Sweet and Tangy Late Summer Squash Quinoa
We just enjoyed a two-week trial of Grammarly for proofreading---because everybody can use an extra pair of eyes. Learn more about this online editing service in the footer! Two days ago on our morning walk, Tim and I put on sweatshirts. Yesterday, I pulled out my boots for the first time since May. Today, the window's open in the bathroom, and even from the next room over, I can smell the fresh air and feel a cool breeze coming in (the high today in Nashville was 72 degrees). What's more, down the hall and in the kitchen, the oven is on, and I have a pot filled with root vegetables boiling on the stove. Fall is here, officially and obviously, and I've been dressing, eating and, what I'm trying to say, I guess, is enjoying this new season, even when it means summer's gone. But before we get too deep in changing leaves, could I get one last hurrah for summer? I hate to say it as a lifelong October lover, but sometimes I'm nostalgic for the season that ends (besides … [Read more...]
They Say That Love Shows in the Gestures / Portabella Zucchini Tacos
They say that love shows in the gestures-- A dash to the airport, a big diamond ring; They say that this is what's romance-- All that glitters, All that sparkles, All that's bright and glossy, (You know, those sorts of things). True, you proposed: it was poetry, All of your neat lines of verse, for me, arranged. You made me a picnic and hid it, A cooler packed with food and a ring, Then you asked me, And I said yes, and remember? Right there, how everything changed? It's true, life is beautiful, (We are happy, We are together, And free.) But, also true, life is painful, And we've walked through dark times just the same. What of the times pacing the halls? The nights of long talks? The physical pain, The wounded hearts, The disappointments, The crying out, over and over, To God's name? It makes me think it's love in the small and the hard things, (Maybe the small and the hard things the most). The dishes, the laundry, The trash, … [Read more...]
Fresh Corn Pudding
The fact that I live in Nashville still confuses me sometimes, especially when we return from somewhere familiar, like Chicago to see my family or Ohio to see Tim's. Tuesday night we came home from a few days in Cincinnati, for example, where all the men in Tim's family went to a Monday night football game and I finally got to hit up IKEA---and coming back had me dreaming about eating breakfast in my own parents' kitchen or watching Friday night movies at my friend Jackie's house. Sometimes being around familiar things makes me want to be around more familiar things. And even though, from where I write this post tonight, I know I've lived in Tennessee for two and a half years (WHAT!), the fact that I live in the South still seems strange. People in the South are downright charming---but it's hard to know when they're being genuine. People in the South like to small-talk---but this level of interaction can go on for years. And here I am, this Midwestern girl who at first seems aloof and … [Read more...]

Roast Chicken on Tomatoes + Potato Spaghetti Squash Puree
September 11, 2013 has been a beautiful day here in Nashville. Tim and I woke up early to grind popcorn kernels and make skillet cornbread. The cornbread was a dud, but Tim made a berry smoothie that wasn't. Then, we drove through blue skies and bright sun to our car dealership, twenty minutes south, where a serviceman checked us in to get our air-conditioning fixed and asked the time: It was 9:11 AM on the nose. Twelve years ago this morning, I was standing in a Wisconsin hotel, curling my hair, when my mom shouted from the TV in the main room, "Come look at this!" and I didn't say anything, and we called my dad in Illinois, and he was crying. Today, I walked away from a serviceman and into a Tennessee car dealership lounge, where Tim and I would listen to someone making popcorn and watch a 10-month-old baby boy named John crawl around the room. My mom and I were at that Port Washington hotel because I was scheduled for traffic court on September 11, for driving 24 miles … [Read more...]
everybody wants a piece of the pie / pear crisp
Everybody wants a piece of the pie, everybody wants a "How high you fly!" We're all looking for something, something to say that we count. We meet and we're asked, "What's your something?" We meet and we're asked, "Who are you?" "I'm my family," "my beauty," "my job skills," "My companion," "my food blog," "my work." But deep down, there's somewhere a gnawing, Deep down, there's somewhere an ache. We can mask it and hide it and hope that Our efforts to cover will work. "I've got it!" "I've won it!" "I've made it!" "Look at me!" "Now, at last, I'm complete!" But deep down, there's still somewhere a gnawing, Deep down, unmasked, still that ache. When we know this, when we see this, when we are this, Why don't we respond to the root? Instead of ever reaching and striving, Instead of just joining the race, Why don't we step back, slow, and realize What's driving our envy, snubbing and spite: We're, all of us, everywhere, hungry, Hungry for wholeness, hungry for … [Read more...]
Sweet and Spicy Squash Noodle Soup
EARLER TONIGHT, I FOLLOWED TIM OUT OUR KITCHEN DOOR and down the driveway to the garage, where we both got in the car. He turned the key in the ignition, looked at me and asked, "Where are we going?" and I shrugged with a "Anywhere you want!" So he backed out passed the chain link fence where our neighbor's flowers grow and the giant bush sprouts a spider's web longer than my height, pointing the car anywhere and nowhere, warm Tennessee air flowing through our open windows. We followed I-24 West to Shelby, which is a confusing thing to say because Shelby is East Nashville, and we live in South Nashville, but to get there you take I-24 West. In East Nashville, we cruised down Gallatin and eventually down the street where I used to live, passed my old yellow bungalow that I already have a hard time remembering, just over two years after I left. And somewhere between the piece of pumpkin vegan cake we ended up sharing from Wild Cow on the Jeni's patio and the soup bones we ended up … [Read more...]

Alastair Moffatt has twice held the record twice for the tightest parallel parking job, his reign broken twice by Han Yue, who did it last time in November 2014.

The Guinness-certified world record for "fastest speed for a car driven blindfolded" is 186.12 miles per hour, set by Mike Newman in a Porsche GT2 last year at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in England. Then earlier this year, Newman said he'd go for the 200 mph mark – something he might want to talk to fellow Bruntingthorpe speed demons Vmax200 about. UK firm Extreme Motorsport, which seems to have been set up solely to set blindfold driving and riding records, wants to wrest the record fr

French rally driver Guerlain Chicherit is a very lucky man. He had hoped to beat Tanner Foust's 332-feet car jump record (which nearly went awry itself) with a 360-foot leap in a specially built Mini to score a new Guinness World Record at the French ski resort of Tignes. However, things didn't go to plan, and Chicherit suffered a massive crash during the attempt.

Does the name Guerlain Chicherit ring any bells? It definitely should if you're into competitive skiing, as he was crowned world champion in off-trail freeriding four times. But he's also a rally driver, winning the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup in 2009 and even a stage of the Dakar Rally the following year. What really set him apart, though, was when he back-flipped a Mini Countryman rally car to set a world record last year. And now he's after another.

Volkswagen has announced the company's Passat TDI has set a new world record for the category of "lowest fuel consumption-48 US states for a non-hybrid car." Drivers Wayne Gerdes and Bob Winger managed an impressive 77.99 miles per gallon over 8,122 miles, trouncing the previous record of 67.9 mpg. The duo also sailed past the hybrid record of 64.5 mpg, another record set by Gerdes.

In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville,

There's a reason why many of our popular shows are remakes from the UK: our friends across the pond really know how to do good TV, especially clever, thrilling mysteries. So if you're in the mood for a smart whodunit check out one of these fine British mystery series.
I woke up this morning and realized that today is July 15th, a major theme of the novel I'm currently reading - One Day by British author, David Nicholls. I can't tell you everything since I'm only in the middle of it but I couldn't resist writing about it on this day.
Nicholls follows two characters over twenty years of July 15ths, tracing the path of their changing lives and relationship. They say if you like Nick Hornby, author of A Long Way Down, About a Boy, and High Fidelity, you'll love this. ; It's all the rage in the UK. I don't have a verdict yet but am compelled enough to keep going - it's easy summer fare.

Marymount University's Nurse-Managed Health Center, a partnership between Marymount and St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, recently sponsored a community health fair at the church in Arlington, Va.
Students and faculty from Marymount's Malek School of Health Professions in Arlington staffed stations that offered blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol screenings; education sessions on CPR techniques and general health information, including education on breast cancer, aging resources and domestic violence.
Cindy Osnos, MSN, the Marymount faculty member in charge of the fair, said the event was organized by students in her community health class who volunteer weekly at St. Charles as part of their clinical rotation.
"Through the fall, we've been determining the stations, signing up volunteers and getting the word out to the community," Megan Olson, a senior nursing student, said in a news release.
The stations addressed general health concerns.
"If a client has an elevated blood pressure or an abnormal glucose or cholesterol level," Osnos said, "he or she is directed to the health information table where the test results are interpreted and referral services are provided, if necessary." While the fair is the major fall project, Marymount's Nurse-Managed Health Center maintains a full schedule of health services to a diverse community throughout the academic year. During the spring semester, Marymount student nurses will provide an immunization audit to ensure St. Charles students are current on their vaccinations.

Review by: Susan
Work Description: Renovate half bath into handicap accessible doorway & shower
Comments: XLT Construction totally renovated our 1950's half bath & they did a remarkably FABULOUS job, all in 16 days! I highly recommend XLT Construction. Their crew is trustworthy & dedicated, although I do suggest homeowners watch the crew's "finish" work because they are so quick that some things can be done with more quality if the crew would just slow down a bit when doing finish work. When finish work quality was brought up to XLT's owner, Leonel LeBaron, the finish work was redone with much better quality. Mr. LeBaron is an honorable, fair man, who was available to discuss the project throughout the entire process. Again, I highly recommend XLT Construction. (I only wish I could show you pictures - absolutely STUNNING finished project, complete with stone tile walls & ceiling in handicap shower & mosaic floor - with a cubby for shampoo & handicap personal shower fixture system! So so satisfied with this company!)
Review by: Terry Meneghetti from Scottsdale AZ
Work Description: Finish installing bathroom floor tiles.
Comments: The workers were very friendly and professional. The work was completed to our satisfaction and the work area was left clean. They came to complete the job within a days notice of calling and that was very much appreciated!
Review by: Joe Secola
Work Description: We had them install about 24 sq. ft. of travertine backsplash in the kitchen with a stainless backing behind the stove.
Comments: Showed up on time, put down protective coverings on floor and counter and completed the work in a timely manner. Their tile guy and his team did an excellent job and it looks professional. Keep us informed as they went through the process and overall it was very well done. I will use this contractor again on our next job. Good to see a contractor who calls back, shows up and gets it done as agreed!

Review by: Carl in Surprise
Work Description: Took out shower stall and replaced with new pan and tile. Also replaced bath counter/sinks
Comments: Leonel was excellent to work with. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and priced competitively. No surprises. Things were done on time and very professionally. One minor problem was addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. Good follow-up and quick return of calls. No money paid until he was sure we were satisfied. Would use him again and recommend him to anyone.
Review by: John Javellana
Work Description: - Remove and replace drywall due to water damage. - Repaint all drywall - Replace damage carpet
Comments: When I initially searched for a contractor to work on the water damage in my house, I wasn't sure where to start. I wanted to find someone who was trustworthy while providing a reasonable price with quality work. I went on Networx and found XLT Construction. I called and spoke to the owner Leonel LeBaron, who offered to come to my home and provide me a quote for the repairs. He provided a reasonable quote and after agreeing to the proposed charges, he immediately went to work. Now, after all the work has bee done, it looks as if nothing ever happened to my house. I am very satisfied with the work and I would recommended Leonel LeBaron and XLT Construction to anyone needing to do any home repairs. Thank you very much XLT Construction!
Review by: julie
Work Description: Tiled my kitchen floor
Comments: What a wonderful company. From the consultation to the final day they were organized, clean, and professional and took great pride in their work. XLT Construction has very high standards, showing up on time every day. Putting plastic down from entry to the kitchen, every cut on my tile is just perfect. They even called after the job was complete to just check in and make sure I was satisfied. My kitchen looks gorgeous. I will surly use them again in my eyes XLT Construction is the only way to go for all my construction needs. Great professional job!

Work Description: Very small tile job in a condo.
Comments: Alonzo is still doing the work, but is an excellent tile setter. If given free rein, he could do some spectacular things with tile. Leonel, the owner of the company called me back within minutes of my going on line. That was amazing. What was more amazing was he came out on a Sat to give us an estimate. In fairness, though, all three of the contractors called back, and two of them came out to give bids. The third one didn't cal back until Monday, but I'd give all high marks for trying to get the job.

What i liked:
Hotel is nice on a quiet and nice street close to the Danube.
Room was spacious and clean with a nice design.
Breakfast ok.
What i didn't like:
The only thing i didn't like is that i waited too long to check-in.
After a long day of travel i waited for 25 minutes to check-in.
There was only 1 receptionist at that time and talked to another client this full time.
It seemed that she was doing this on purpose.

I am using the default WP Menu system and have set up a link to show all Posts from a particular category.
When clicking the link the first page of Posts is displayed just fine but the pagination at the bottom causes a 'page not found' page to be displayed instead of the second page of results. This error occurs on all categories.
The URL is similar to http://mywebsite.co.nz/my-category/page/2/
Is this a valid URL for this scenario or is there something happening giving an incorrect URL?
What else could be causing pagination to not work when using categories as a menu link?

In a little more detail...
I used to work as a professional add-on developer. Now I work for Mozilla as Add-ons Developer Relations Lead, and spend most of my time code reviewing add-ons and thinking about compatibility, developer documentation and tools for this site.I have a ton of ideas I want to produce into add-ons. If only I had the time...
Add-ons I've created
AMO Admin Assistant No Restart
Some simple tools to facilitate AMO administration. This is only useful for AMO reviewers and admins.
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:

Finally, a theme I can use!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0).
Extension Test

OMG, this is t3h awesomez!
Thumbnail Zoom
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very easy to use and practical. All you need to do is hover your cursor over the image and you'll quickly see the full version. I noticed there are some images on Facebook and Amazon that aren't zoomed, though, which can be a little confusing.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0).
Destroy the Web
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This is a great game. It's very open-ended because you can play pretty much on any site, and the challenges are different every time.
Love the music and animation, it makes it so much more fun.
MD5 Hasher
Useful Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This is a simple, useful tool for those who want to verify their downloads. My only gripe is that it is not easy to discover how to use it (you have to right-click on the download item). It would be better if there was some icon or clue in the Downloads list.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.3).
Nice addon, needs improvement Rated 3 out of 5 stars
This is a good idea, and it's fun to play even if there are only a few games available. On the other hand, I think it needs some work on the look and feel side.
The server and saved puzzles should be readily available in the main window, instead of having to open new windows all the time.
The white letter boxes should open the Enter Word dialog when clicked (yes, I know that's hard to do). Otherwise it is hard to realize how to enter words. For a moment I thought I had to solve it in paper!
You should be able to play right away. I think the last saved game should be loaded, or a random remote game. Also, saved games should have user-chosen names.
I also think it would be great to have a progress indicator, and some congratulation when the puzzle is solved.
Overall I think this is a great idea and I hope future versions of this addon are friendlier and have more content available.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.

Seems styling of the Age Verify page has been simplified via some options in the settings page.
For front end developers or anyone handy with css and child themes, there's really no limit to how the AV page can be styled.
I used it on a heavily cached multisite at WPEngine and it worked fine.
Thanks Chase Wiseman!

Run! The Glaciers Are Coming!
Mitchell Anderson | July 14, 2009
By Mitchell Anderson • Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 19:13
Another ridiculous propaganda effort just emerged from climate denial industry. Robert Felix of iceagenow.com is writing US Senators urging them to vote against the Markey Waxman bill because not only is climate change a bunch of hooey, but we are actually on the verge a new ice age.
Who knew??
Felix trots out a laundry list of glaciers around the world that are racing towards us: "In May, Alaska's Hubbard Glacier was advancing at the rate of seven feet per day - more than half-a-mile per year. And in Icy Bay, at least three glaciers have advanced a third of a mile in one year…More than 90 percent of the world's glaciers are growing…"
Sounds like crap? It is. In fact virtually all glaciers in Europe, North and South America and Asia are in rapid retreat. A report released last week showed Swiss glaciers have declined 12% in the last ten years.
The Jakobshavn Isbræ glacier in Greenland started rapidly retreating in 2002 and is now losing 100 feet per day.
In Antarctica, the massive Wilkins shelf disintegrated this April - a slab of ancient ice the size of Jamaica. A recent study found that one third of Antarctic sea ice could be gone be the end of the centrury.
The list goes on. However, Mr. Felix is instead urging US Senators to believe exactly the opposite.

Authorities confirmed this afternoon that five boys ranging in age from 9 to 12 are facing felony arson charges relating to the fire Sunday that destroyed the old Happy Hotel.
Officials had previously said that charges have been filed in the matter but Swisher County Sheriff Emett Benavidez later clarified that the arson charges are pending.
He said the boys were interviewed Monday.
The abandoned two-story building at the intersection of Talley Avenue and West Main Street in Happy was gutted by the Sunday evening blaze.
Nearly 70 firefighters from Happy, Canyon and Tulia battled the blaze for about seven hours before it was extinguished.

Reduce how much we consume to really reduce our impact on the environment, from the raw materials that come out of the ground, to the resources used to transport products. The fewer things we buy, the less space we need to store them, and the less we throw out in the future.
Reuse what we already have, or buy things second-hand. The resources have already been used to make these items, so we should get all the use we can out of them. Often, we purchase a product because it is the "new and improved" version of what we already own – but it's funny how we were perfectly happy with what we had until the new one came out. We can also reuse what we already have for a different purpose. This is called "upcycling", and is a popular trend in furniture and home décor.
Recycle to save more raw materials and the extra energy required to make new products. For example, recycling just one ton of paper can save enough energy to heat a home for six months! Recycling is one of the easiest and most effective ways for Dallas residents to get involved in the City's efforts to conserve our resources and protect the environment. We can all work together to lessen our environmental footprint by making a conscious choice to pitch our recyclables in the Big, Blue Bin or Community Recycling Container.

Aggressive control of large seeding trees across the lower
front faces of Mt Dewar Station is needed to stop their
spread and protect the golden tussock faces of Mt Dewar,
Skippers Saddle and Coronet Peak, the Department of
Conservation (Doc) says.
The declaration came as Doc Wakatipu, on behalf of the
umbrella charity Wakatipu Wilding Conifer Control Group
(WCG), prepares for the latest battle in the war against
introduced wilding pines which suffocate native biodiversity.
The $100,000 operation is funded by the station and WCG. The
160ha of private land to be treated is in addition to the
220ha already covered this year, well on the way to the 600ha
target for 2014.
The operation was publicly notified and the Ministry of
Health has been advised.
Work is expected to begin today or early next week, depending
on the weather, and continue over the next few months.
Doc Wakatipu ranger and WCG operations manager Jamie Cowan
said the method of control to be used was boom spraying via a
helicopter. The herbicides to be used were common in
agriculture, being standard, ''off-the-shelf'' products.
''The herbicide to be used on the Douglas fir and larch on Mt
Dewar Station will be Metsulfuron [Answer],'' Mr Cowan said.
''Specially designed nozzles will be used on the booms and
crop oil will be added to avoid the drift of spray to
non-target areas.''
Mr Cowan said there were strict climatic restrictions on when
aerial spraying could happen.
Spraying would only take place when the right combination of
temperature, wind and humidity occurred. No aerial work would
occur near waterways.
Mt Dewar Station had been fighting wilding pines for decades.
There were only three pines in 1954 and wildings now covered
many hectares of the station, particularly over the station's
lower front faces.
The spread was a consequence of an increase in the seed
source and the gradual reduction in stock numbers.
The rapid growth of wilding trees was now spreading through
Devils Creek and threatening both Skippers Saddle and Coronet
Peak, Mr Cowan said.
''The Mt Dewar wildings are really starting to dominate the
landscape of the Wakatipu basin.''

Alison Checks In: On Being Biracial
I once overheard a woman ask her friend, "Why does Obama identify himself as black when he is half white?" Their discussion ranged from how Barack Obama's appearance led to assumptions about him, to how choices were made for him based on his looking like a tall skinny black guy, to the way race has historically been determined this country.
My husband and I discussed all of these above as we awaited the birth of our son, Isaac. How will we make sure he feels secure about who he is? Will he be clearly identifiable as either white or black? Will I have to wear one of those "I'm not the nanny" t-shirts? Will he have a bar mitzvah?
As he gets older, Ike is looking truly bi-racial. After seeing a recent photo, a 50-something friend of mine who is Japanese and Black said he was hopeful Isaac won't have to endure the difficulties he faced as a child. My friend wrote, "This is our time. Barack. Tiger. Halle."
Considering it was only eight years ago that the U.S. Census allowed you to check more than one box for racial identity, I can't help wondering what challenges lie ahead.

yours is a beautiful story...and i'm hopeful that as americans begin to awaken to more beautiful stories... on the morning after the election in november...president obama will continue to make isaac's life "a peace of cake" when it comes to racial bias. he's gorgeous!
It has always bothered me that people seem to foist a minority racial identity on biracial people. To me, a person gets to define their identity for themself. But in my experiece, others, usually whites, tend to think of someone who is white and another race as their non-white race. It's as if they have a higher standard for whiteness than for membership in another racial group.
I hope those attitudes change before anyone tries to tell Ike who he is.
Isaac is lucky to have two parents who are very intelligent and are able to look at life with a great deal of humor. He'll undoubtedly inherit those qualities from mom and dad, and I think he'll be well able to deal with anything that comes his way. And, hopefully, attitudes are changing, and the world will treat Ike well and just let him be...Ike.
I would hope that we will learn that our skin color doesn't determine our ethnic history. I have a rich multicultural history, but I a never treated any differently than what my skin allows others to determine. If they can only remember that it's pigment not my history.
Maura: there's a word for this fallacy, it's called the "one drop theory" and dates back to the time of legal slavery in this country, when one drop of African ethnic blood made a person black, and liable to being enslaved.
Small wonder so many Americans continue to stubbornly resist the self-evident fact of evolution - it points directly to the conclusion that we *all* have a few drops of "black" blood in us, however attenuated, and thus are all (by that archaic definition) "black".
Texas still doesn't allow more than one race to be identified when you enroll you child. We are told it is because test scores have to be reported in subgroups that include race and they haven't figured out how to do that if a child is identified with more than one race.
Then every year we have a "how safe do you feel at school" survey. One of the questions asks the child their race. Every year my students are offended at the choices. Even when I don't have a biracial/multiracial child in the room, the kids protest the choices as being anything from lame to bigoted.
I know that the state and district are looking for patterns of discrimination both in test scores and the survey. Still if 10 - 12 yo have figured out this is wrong - it is time for the politicians to figure it out.
Growing up biracial in these times won't too tough on him. I know three multi racial babies now. It was a minor harrassment to meas a kid and still is at times. As a child in California I guess I looked Chinese. The kids at school thought I knew kung fu and said thing like,"Ching chong ching. What does that mean in CHina?" These days everyone thinks I speak spanish. I've been lectured at the bus stop about "forgetting my motherland,I think I'm all white because I know english all good." Ya, dude, whatever. Who asked who for the time?
He may have to answer a lot of questions about his heritage. Where is your mom from? Where is your dad from? How did they meet? They seem really intrusive but people are honestly really curious. On the other hand, he won't have to stand in the school office om the first day while some administrator slowly shouts, "DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? WHAT DO YOU SPEAK AT HOME?" Ya, lady, whatever. My mom probably speaks better english than you do.
As for Bar Mitzvah, my Jewish friend married a half black Buddhist woman. They go through the motions of Judaism with Granma. The kid is only two so my friend figures he has time to think about it. But my friend pretty much just goes through the motions himself.
The best was winning bar bets with my dad. We do look alike if you get past the skin color. Maybe because the lights were so dim at the bar we won round after round to next new sucker.
When my son was born, I was worried that my son would be as pale as I am. Fortunately, his color has come in. My son looks like a like-skinned --one might say high-yellow-- African-American. He does, however, have my round face and my light brown hair. So, I don't think either my wife or I will have any problems picking him up from school.
While my wife and I get the occasional sideways glances from old White couples trying to figure out whether our son is "more White or more Black," and while my wife gets piercing stares from African-Americans for "selling out," we don't have the "Are you the Nanny" mentality here in San Diego. San Diego is a military town. Interracial marriages are more common in the military than in the general population. While not ideal, we don't seem to have it as bad as it sounds like in New York for you and Isaac.
As to this "half white" thing, our cultural heritage is not a pizza, with half this on one side and half that on the other. My son won't stop marching in the St. Patrick's Day parade at the halfway point because he's "half" Irish-American. Neither will he stop rooting for the Kenyan Rugby 7's team at halftime because he's "half" Kenyan. He's Irish-American and Kenyan. Neither one replaces or mitigates the other.
As to Isaac's religious heritage, if he's already had his bris, why shouldn't he have his bar mitzvah? My son's baptized; if he wants confirmation when he's a teenager, that's his right.
My friends include people from the following groups: Indians, Afghanis, Koreans, Ismailis, Chinese, Mexicans, Columbians, Nigerians, Rwandans, French-Canadians, Anglo-Canadians, Egyptians, Irish, Scots, My American husband, Ukrainians, Poles, Norwegians, Danes, Lebanese, Punjabis, Tamils, South Indians, and Japanese. You can imagine what a party at my place looks like! When you have a group of 20 and 30-somethings all together, you are going to get inter-racial relationships, and therefore marriages and/or children. As the world moves house from the rest of the world to North America, we will have more and more inter-racial relationships and therefore more bi-racial babies of every imagination. I myself are part of a half-Danish posse (which includes a guy who is the tallest half-Danish half-Philippino gay Canadian you will ever meet in your life!). Bi-racial babies are beautiful because of what they represent- the meeting of two people who saw beyond skin-colour and cultural difference to recognize each other as part of the most important race- the human race!
So, Ike, enjoy being in your daycare/kindergarten class with all the other "half" children that will be part of your cohort, and learn that it's the celebration of our diversity that makes us whole!
I agree with all of the above- but I really, really need to add- IKE IS A DOLL.
OMG....what a beautiful little boy.
I think a lot depends on what Ike looks like as he grows up. My family is from central america. I am black. I don't like to tell people that my family is from central america because they tend to treat me differently. It shouldn't make a difference where I am from. I am who I am. When people look at me I am still a black man (even though my culture is rooted solidly in a latin culture instead of a black american culture). Ike will be who he is, no doubt a smart, good looking man who loves sports. It is my hope he will be judged by his characteristics rather than by his color, but look at Barack. He is viewed as a black man even though he probably has more in common with traditional white america.

A violent novelette where a chance meeting quickly becomes a disaster that has been a long time coming.
Strong language, violence, emotional turmoil. On this chilly night, in this subway station, a bomb of emotional pressure has begun its final countdown.
Bitchfight is a graphically violent and disturbingly emotional story about Denny and Kris, their overdue confrontation, and the consequences of secrets never told and pain never understood. They used to be two of the same, but circumstances and abuse tore them apart. Now, twelve years later, they finally meet and worlds once broken are now forced together. In a collision provoked by unknown forces, two can never again become one.
This novelette has been probed and tinkered with for a long time. Names have changed, parts have been cut, events pondered and frowned over, and bad English whipped into some sort of shape. I started writing this when my knowledge of grammar was close to non-existent and it has gone through more than ten revisions. I could probably work on it for another unknown number of edits but the day came when I simply had to let it go. It's far from perfect. The emotional state of mind was always more important than point of view and the events themselves so I have gotten quite a lot of advice. As far as technique went, I learned from them and made changes. As far as the point of view and the "literary flavor" and "over the top descriptions" went, I had to bite down and say: this is what I want for this story and it's not a lighthearted genre piece. If I write it your way, it would be something I didn't want. This particular story can not be written any other way; it's not written to be liked; it is what it is and nothing less, nothing more.
Despite that boneheaded attitude, I do hope you get something out of it. You might even like it.

Jamie123, are you sure it is payment date? I was under the impression it was STATEMENT DATE. Please confirm.
I have to correct Jamie there............The CC companies report your account balance once each month to the CRAs on the statement cut off time.....On OP case, its on the 12 of every months but they usually report to credit bureaus after 2 to 3 days. I have monitor my account for several months and leave a balance report higher a lil bit than the previous months like $2 dollars and i get the Alert Score Watch after 3 4 ddays payment cut off time.
My Crappy one cut off time on 13 of each month and i usually get Alert Score Watch on 16 or 17 if i let the balance increase a few dollars.

"How to Become a Radio Amateur," ARRL 1968. This two-transistor code oscillator can also be "recycled" as a built-in sidetone monitor for "A Simple Two-Tube Transmitter" from the same book, which I am about to build.
The oscillator is built on a single terminal strip mounted on a piece of scrap wood. Back in the day, the parts cost "about $3.50" which is very expensive in modern terms, now that you can get a gazillion transistors and other components onto a single IC.
As usual the ARRL's instructions for the beginner are very thorough. In the schematic, note C3, the 0.01 uF capacitor in the headphone output circuit. I will be mentioning it again later in the photo gallery.
Very easy to round up these parts from my vintage junkbox, apart from the transistors. Of course I could have used just about any modern day transistors from Radio Shack but I couldn't resist the temptation to use the original specified part, which I found at a specialist online store in California. I also used vintage Ohmite resistors (from my "Little Devils" drawer set), mainly because they had longer leads. (Those two new 10K resistors next to the terminal strip turned out to have leads that were too short.)
Soldering point to point can be quite a challenge in cases like this one (the right-hand lug). Four resistors and a hookup wire meet on the same lug of a terminal strip. The trick is to get the lug very hot, very quickly. It also helps to use gravity to help prevent the molten solder from drifting down to the bottom of the lug. I found it was best to put the board on its side before soldering, as shown above.
I also changed my soldering practices as concerns vulnerable components such as transistors. This time, I did one soldering pass for all components *except* the transistors. Then, I added the transistors and, using a heat sink, soldered them on their own, with minimal heat (without melting the earlier joints on the same lug). The result is an "uglier" soldering job but more effective I think. In the above photo, the transistors are about to be soldered. Hey, it's not often that you see "RCA" on a newly soldered discrete transistor nowadays, eh?
Battery installed and ... it works! Only two issues. The tone was too low, because I had substituted a 47kpF capacitor for a 100kpF one as C3 in the headphone output circuit, thinking that the tone was set only by the caps in the earlier sections of the circuit but I was wrong. So I wired another 47kpF capacitor in parallel and the tone was now correct. The other problem is that the volume in the high impedance headphones was too high -- dangerous for one's hearing. After some experimentation, I added the 75K resistor shown above, lowering the volume nicely. Meanwhile, in the latest episode of "outstandingly stupid things that Martin does during each homebrew project" I had let an alligator jumper cable short out the 9V battery and it sat on the bench in that condition for about 10 minutes. When I picked up the battery, it was too hot to touch! I wonder if you can start a fire with a 9V battery? I suspect the answer is "yes." My benchtop is wood, covered with white poster board.
My complete vintage Morse training set. Code oscillator. Ameco key (a J-38 clone) with custom adjustments (I replaced the spring, which was too stiff). High-impedance headphones, which I am beginning to consider as instruments of torture. After wearing them for an hour or two monitoring the bands, the ears hurt, from the combination of hard bakelite and vigorously sprung head strap. While listening to the CW on 40m, I get so absorbed that I don't notice the pain until I turn the set off!
If you don't have old-fashioned high impedance headphones, use an audio output transformer. This one is available at Radio Shack for about $3. It's part number 273-1380.

AbstractThis research addresses the specific challenges of developing munitions with scalable, multifunctional target kill mechanisms; and a controllable lethality radius. When matured, the technology is expected to provide flexibility and precision effects for: medium and large caliber gun systems; and missiles. The work plan represents a logical and comprehensive extension of the Phase I feasibility study to develop a variable explosive yield warhead concept. The research contains multiple tasks with aggressive goals made possible by leveraging ongoing work in technically aligned programs. The work plan scope involves three main tasks. The first task involves testing a series of systematic improvements designed to increase the performance and functionality of the successful, proof-of-concept device. A key feature is a so-called common-body test article capable of functioning in either the LCD mode or UCD mode by selecting the initiation scheme in real-time. The second task involves significant changes to the architecture, specifically: testing a pre-scored steel case; using of a castable explosive for the annular initiation ring; and developing an alternative fuzing concept and initiation scheme. The third part is to scale-up the prototype warhead to approximately 1 kg net explosive weight and conduct both vented chamber and free-field, arena tests.

Sexy European gals, most of them newcomers, take it up the butt from some sizable porno cocks. While the action is mostly solid, the production suffers a bit from a color balance that is often on the hot side, giving the performers an acid-trip neon glow.
Asses Up consists of six one-on-one scenes. And the eager sultry performances from new girls like Christina, Nadine and Naomi are definite attention grabbers. But Jane Darling qualifies her porn star status in a passionate scene with Zenza Raggi.

SEOUL, South Korea (April 27, 2013)--North Korea says it will soon indict an American detained for alleged hostile acts against the country, according to a report Saturday from the official Korean Central News Agency, which didn't say when Kenneth Bae's trial will occur.
Bae's looming indictment comes amid high tension between Pyongyang and Washington, with North Korea intensifying its war rhetoric against the United States and South Korea.
Bae is the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. U
.S. citizens detained in North Korea often have been released after visits by high-profile Americans, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
A North Korean official earlier told The Associated Press that Bae will likely get a harsh punishment and possibly the death penalty for an alleged attempt to overthrow Pyongyang's government.
