The Duchess Of Kent
Within a short walking distance of Highbury Corner, the Duchess of Kent pub is the perfect spot to slip away from the maddening crowds, sip on a pint of Doombar or a glass of rose, and just chill. Renowned by each local as 'my pub', the Duchess of Kent is Islington's best kept secret. This comfortable, homely pub is even a treat on a cold and rainy winter's day, with its warm fires and cosy dining room. The Duchess is the ideal place to relax and enjoy a glass of wine, whilst making a triple letter score on the Scrabble board, or just settling down for an exceptional Sunday Lunch whilst mulling over a defensive backgammon move.

Another gastro 'swing and a miss' in the barnsbury neighborhood.
First off, if you come here, keep it simple - shoot for old pub favorites or just some ale. The staff are pretty nice and rather competent which is lovely.
However...the wife chose more aggressively with a bacon, avocado and chicken sandwich. This gem came with three pieces of gristly chicken, no bacon and on bread that was...more
UPDATE: went for dinner last month and the sea bass was TO DIE FOR.
Best scotch egg on the planet. Respectable house red, quaint setting, lovely chaps at the bar.
Kitchen is down 3-6 but I'll def be back for dinner, the blackface lamb leg sounds amazing!more
I've visited this pub on and off for years and as others have said it's very hit and miss. Since its recent refurbishment the pub decor itself is much more light and airy and the toilets renewed offer a huge improvement. We arrived for Sunday lunch and given the small table by the dirty fireplace with cobwebs, but with its low comfy chairs.
At the table my companion was seated while I was...more
This is a great local pub to gather for drinks and dinner. The staff are very nice and accommodating. I've been here a number of times and each one a positive experience. The food is great, the space is nice and clean. They recently did a refurbishment and I was just a bit sad to see the beautiful old bar be replaced by a new one but it's pretty too... just lacks the same character....more
Last weekend I came here and spent a lovely late-afternoon with my good friend from uni here: seated in two comfy armchairs right in front of the fireplace, this was the perfect place for an in-depth conversation about the meaning of life. Well, that and the bottle of red wine also helped to get to the bottom of this highly philosophical question.
To be honest, I cannot say much else about...more

"Preah Vihear in May 2004 and February 2010" Prasat Preah Vihear by AlbuqRay
Prasat Preah Vihear Travel Guide: 42 reviews and 79 photos
I first visited Preah Vihear in May 2004. It was an easy, relatively level walk from the Thai side to the base of Preah Vihear. At that time, you had to pay 200 baht on the Thai side and 200 baht on the Cambodian side for a day's visit. It is much more difficult to reach Preah Vihear from the Cambodian side, because of the roads and because of the geography. According to the internet, in 2003 Preah Vihear could be reached by motorcycle from Siem Reap via Anlong Veng, and in 2008 it could be reached from Siem Reap by 4WD car via a new road to Koh Ker and Tbeng Meanchey. In February 2010 the recommended route from Siem Reap was through Anlong Veng. At that time they were paving the road from Anlong Veng to Sa Em. Even so, I was able to visit Preah Vihear on a very long day trip out of Siem Reap. I was in a 2WD Camry but hired a 4WD truck at the bottom of the hill to go to the top. Actually the road up was paved but very steep. The Camry would have had no problem with ground clearance, but even in low gear it may have had problems with the steep grade.
Although the easiest way to get to Preah Vihear is from Thailand, it is actually a Khmer site in Cambodia (confirmed by a World Court decision in 1962) and should be called by its Cambodian name. There have been many border disputes over the years (with shooting!) and the border is often closed. Preah Vihear is in a spectacular setting and very much worth visiting. It may be 100 years older than Angkor Wat. There are four levels of temples (Khopuras) with steep, weathered steps and pillared causeways in between as you climb up the hill. The Poei Tadi, or the peak of the hill, is ~500 meters above the landscape below. The site is largely unrestored, which makes it even more interesting. Actually there is a national park on the Thai side leftover from when the site was in Thailand.
In 2004 we met a couple of cute kids there, Lawee and Laithong. They were selling postcards but came with us and helped guide us. Lawee seemed to be doing okay; his father was a vendor at Level 4. I think Laithong had a much harder life, but you didn't have to know her long to realize she was a special young lady. See also my three travelogues here on the kids at Preah Vihear (Laithong the Charmer, Lawee the Imp, and Children of Preah Vihear).
When I visited Preah Vihear in 2010, The children and vendors had been replaced by Cambodian soldiers. Actually the soldiers were very friendly and helped me find out about Laithong. They called over one of the female guides. She knew Laithong's sister and said that the family had moved to Phnom Penh a few years before. I left a picture with her with the contact information for the PIO office in Phnom Penh. Hopefully it will eventually find its way to Laithong.
- Pros:Charming guides; four levels of temples; view at the top
- Cons:Watch your step; the steps are uneven and steep
- In a nutshell:Fascinating unrestored ruins in a spectacular setting

Looks reasonable, I will give it a shot...
Looks reasonable, I will give it a shot...
You can check out a message I posted on my WP blog using this setup. I posted it using Eudora on Windows XP. I'll try from another mailer and see what happens.
I posted two additions emailed blog entries. One was from a web-front end to Outlook, the other from a normal webmail application. Both posted and posted to the correct categories.
I did notice that the Outlook message has what looks like a linebreak character (it represents a LF as an '=' character.) Not certain what to do about that at this point.
Honestly, I won't be using a blog by email feature much, if at all. For remote posting, I use w.bloggar.
Which version of WP have you guys tested this on?
Beel Your solution is much more elegant than mine. Using one additional argument, rather than several statements, as my example used, is simpler.
I've modified my version here based on your suggestions.
I'm using the current CVS.
Now all we need is to use the default category if none is submitted in the e-mail. Shouldn't be difficult but I have to run to a meeting - if you go ahead and do it please let me know so I don't spend time on it.
Well, I guess the meeting was cancelled. If no category is set in the e-mail, changing to this will give you the default category set in admin:
if (empty($post_categories[0])) {
$post_categories[0] = get_settings('default_category');
But in testing this I realized in the "Writing by Email" settings one selects by category name, not ID. To maintain consistency, I think that is the next thing I will change in wp-mail.
Instead of
$blah = explode("\n", $content);
$firstline = $blah[0];
$secondline = $blah[1];
why not
list($firstline, $secondline) = explode("\n", $content);
I made the changes and now everything works except the body of my post does not show up. The title only.

What's the technical reason that SSLCertificateKeyFile is needed (the private key)? Where is that used and for what?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
The SSL certificate file contains the X.509 certificate (which, in turn, contains a public key used for encryption). The SSL Certificate Key File contains the private key corresponding to the public key in the certificate. In order for the webserver to encrypt and decrypt traffic, it must have both the public key (certificate) and corresponding private key. Apache, unlike a lot of other server products, stores the key and certificate in separate files. Java-based products, for example, typically use Java KeyStore files, which are an encrypted database containing both the certificate and private key.
Usually there are three directives included:
Instead put only the private key in a separate file and declare it in
For an overview of public key cryptography, including the use of private keys:
And a detailed breakdown of all the steps used in TLS, the protocol your server uses for https traffic, which shows exactly where the private key gets used:

Vt waste district sues over contaminated compost
WILLISTON The Vermont solid waste district that sold compost contaminated with herbicides is suing its insurance carrier to help recover costs stemming from the episode.
The Chittenden Solid Waste District says it had been led to believe its product liability coverage it had obtained through the Vermont League of Cities and Towns would have covered its losses.
The Burlington Free Press reported the league declined to pay, citing a pollution-exclusion clause in the policy.
Last year, the district discovered that some of the compost it sold was laced with herbicides that killed or damaged plants in hundreds of gardens. The district compensated customers and has been implementing measures to prevent the problem from happening again.
The league says the policys pollution exclusion was well known.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA With his presidential campaign officially over, independent Sen.

Not exactly a horror film, but definitely not for the squeamish.
Dumplings follows the tale of a Hong Kong dumpling maker and a TV
actress who feels past her prime (her husband is having an affair with
a younger woman). Dumpling maker Aunt Mei has a secret formula that can
restore youth and extend life. The audience is gradually let in on the
secret ingredient and the details grow more and more gruesomely
explicit as Aunt Mei maintains her cheerfully glamorous housewife
demeanour. When you know this is a really sick movie, the director
piles it on thicker and thicker, casually filtering in lurid details
amid a beautiful montage. OK, you've been warned. The description above
should tell you whether you want to stay away or make a beeline for the
next showing.
The exquisite cinematography (and much of the resulting elegant and sophisticated look of the film) can be attributed to Christopher Doyle, whose work includes such visually stunning gems as 2046, Infernal Affairs, The Quiet American, and In the Mood for Love. Dumplings might be in poor taste, but it is served up with delicacy and finesse, and with much of its 'horror' deriving from the believability of the basic plot.
As you come out of the cinema, other members of the audience may look at you as if you are the most depraved person in the world for sitting through 90 minutes of such stuff, so just remember they did too . . .
In Hong Kong, Aunt Mei (Ling Bai) is a cook famous for her home-made
rejuvenation dumplings, based on a millenarian recipe prepared with a
mysterious ingredient that she brings directly from China. The former
TV star Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeoung Chin Wah) visits Mei aiming her
dumplings to recover her youth and become attractive again to her wolf
husband Mr. Li (Tony Leung Ka Fai). Along the sessions, Mei tells Mrs.
Li that she was a gynecologist in China with more than 30,000 abortions
along ten years. When Mrs. Li requests an acceleration of the process,
the opportunity comes when a fifteen years old teenager with a five
months incestuous pregnancy comes with her mother and asks Mei to make
an abortion.
The bizarre "Gaau Ji" is a low budget Asian movie that Hollywood will never remake. The disturbing and gruesome story depicts an unpleasant theme, certainly a taboo for the American industry, and has excellent performances highlighting Ling Bai making the story totally believable. The Brazilian DVD prudently advises that this film contains strong scenes and is not recommended to pregnant women and sensitive persons, and I totally agree. However, it is highly recommended to audiences that expect to see the break of a taboo in Hollywoodian productions. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Escravas da Vaidade" ("Slaves of the Vanity")
Note: On 28 December 2012 I saw a short version of this film again in an imported DVD ("3 Extremes", segment "Dumplings").
Vanity - one of the Seven Deadly Sins. This film explores the length some people will go to look young and beautiful. I really enjoyed this film; the acting was good with some great camera angles and a cracking soundtrack. All very distasteful but done in tasteful way - sort of. If a film can disturb me then it impresses me - some of the scenes in this movie certainly achieved that, unlike anything I've previously seen in a film and I'm a real horror buff. Although this is not a horror film it certainly ranks along side one for it shocking and disturbing value. I highly recommend this film to anyone, if only for the unique experience if delivers. 9 out of 10 (looses 1 point for being a CatIII film with 3 sex scenes and not even showing a nipple!)
"Dumplings" tells the tale of a former doctor, who operates a dumpling shop from her home with a secret youth creating ingredient. A former actress, past her prime seeks out this special food created by Aunt Mei in order to attract her adulterous husband's attention. Fruit Chan makes no attempt to imply or hide the secret ingredient from the audience, but rather lays out the premise from the beginning, while increasing the graphic details throughout the film. This film explores some disturbingly probable themes, especially how far people will go to reclaim their youth, and the emphasis society places on looking young. He manages to explore the repercussions of this quest for youth, while still leaving some details up to the interpretation of the viewer. The film is exquisitely shot, with some amazing angles and close-ups surrounded by beautiful cinematography, and set design. He manages to bring the viewer into the world of the characters making the theme all the more real and disturbing. Fruit Chan accomplishes this realism by juxtaposing Aunt Mei's blunt and complacent attitude with Mrs. Li's deterioration into desperation. Definitely not for the squeamish, or easily disturbed. To some this topic will be upsetting. However, for those who like something a little different, or fans of such directors as takashi miike or chan wook park, you will love it. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Strangely I didn't feel like reviewing this film upon initially
watching it. Not because it didn't impress me or repulsed me as it did
others, but it simply got lost in the shuffle of so many other great
features of 2004-05 that I'm still making my way through.
The film opens up with Ling Bai going through the airport, with the camera loosely following the pinko decorated lunch box, then letting her into the frame and a thought immediately rushed into my head, "what was the last time that I really enjoyed anything with Ling Bai?". Seems like an easy enough question. Couldn't possibly have been a film called She Hate Me or the atrocity that was My Baby's Daddy. Her appearance on VH-1's career decapitation of a show "But Can They Sing?" clearly won't be raising her stock as a serious actress, yet there's still something mystifying about her. Enough to actually fit into the eeriness of this film.
My intuitions got reassured as Miriam Yeung walked into the perfectly disarrayed blockades of projects of Hong Kong, where the director captured the cold blue ambiance and already achieved something out of almost nothing. Ling Bai effortlessly portrays Mei, a self-employed cook and she is her own best advertisement and her dumplings? well they just maybe the best cure for anyone wanting to preserve and restore his or her youthfulness. Miriam plays Mrs. Lee, a retired actress willing to pay the high price for these special dumplings, financially and morally. She is actually the complete opposite of her character in real life, age-wise, but her voice and naturally mature looks achieve plausibility and especially come in handy with the progression of the story. Not a bad stretch for Miriam who spends most of her acting time in fluffy romance comedies.
Her primary cause of seeking rejuvenation is to regain the affection of her husband Mr. Lee, played by Tony Leung Ka Fai, who just happens to be an unemotional womanizer and a health nut himself. The pacing of the film might be a slight nuisance to some while not as stagnating and demanding as Ming Tsai's 7 to 400 Blows or Hsiao Hou's Café Lumiere. At the same time don't expect a charade of gory outbursts done purely for the sake of shocking you as the film takes a concentrated approach and builds up tension quite well before the tasteful (no pun intended) moments of desolation.
Even well after the revelation of the dumplings' main ingredient, this film stood still and needs to be commanded for its surprise but fitting choice of actors and their refreshingly good acting chops, as well as its atmospheric cinematography crafted by Christopher Doyle who smartly avoided over-serving us with his usually unusual bag of tricks. Not a film that I'll need to view over and over again, but who said that good films are only measured by the number of times one can enjoy them?
There are things you can't believe people just do to achieve something
important to them. This, I think, I call obsession. And what is
obsession? I define it as an irrational motive for performing trivial
or inchoerent and compulsive actions against everyone's will. A
psychological feature that is inconsistent with reason or logic.
And that's what this movie is about: To remain beautiful and young, a woman embarks in a sick and disgusting taste for a repugnant menu... Dumplings as they say... but really they're more than that!
This remind me of Erzsébet Báthory, Countess of Transylvania during the XVII century, when she firmly believed that if she bathed in the blood of young virgins she could be young and healthy forever.
"Dumplings" is uncomfortable, nauseous but captivating at the same time. The story of Ching Lee (Miriam Yeung), retired TV actress, who goes into the moral's depths of pursuing the eternal youth. With her betraying husband (Tony Leung Ka Fai) and the underground female chef Mei (Bai Ling), the critic goes far beyond the main subject, talking about, ironically, the narcissist impulses and the birth control in China as in the superfluous and pointless today's society way of living.
The movie is a spiral between revenge, betrayal, obsession and frustration with some vile and loathsome graphical scenes that should, undoubtedly, be offensive for the sensible ones.
Rather than be just a shocking film, Fruit Chan, the director, constructs a masterpiece of unappeasable fixation that's to stay young at all costs and thus, deepening it into the viewer's subconscious, awakes us to other facts: When we have a strong physiological obsession, we humans, do whatever it takes to fulfill that desire...
Sometimes you see a movie where (factual content and (emotional)effect
are strongly in opposition to each other. For example, in 'Pulp
Fiction' the content includes a lot of random and 'accidental'
violence, even against totally innocent people, but the way it is
portrayed prevents you from taking it seriously. It is like the
violence in a cartoon such as 'Tom and Jerry'. It provokes laughter
rather than disgust.
Dumplings is such a movie. It portrays a young (sort of) woman: 'aunt' Mei, who earns her living making dumplings that rejuvenate the eater, effectively giving him or her eternal youth, as long as they are regularly eaten. Now the catch is in the 'special ingredient'. I won't reveal what this secret ingredient is (although it becomes clear very early in the movie) but it is one of the sickest ingredients that I have ever seen, read about or heard of. The unique feature of this movie is that it is able to utilize this horrible element without becoming a movie that is either simply disgusting (like 'Braindead') or slapstick (such as 'Ichi the Killer'). On the contrary, it is actually a quite funny story about the interaction between Mei and her clients and about their increasing dependence on her dumplings.
But what makes the movie really worth it ( to me, at least) is social commentary that it includes. The real issue is not the 'special ingredient' of the dumplings, but the fact that people are so desperate for 'youth' that they're willing to do everything for it. In a society totally focused on the external norms (like wealth, beauty, and appearance) it is no surprise that the internal norms (like law, morals and compassion), atrophy and get discarded like a snake discards his old skin. This externalization of norms, however, is not criticized or punished, but rather advocated (by the film, not necessarily by its maker) as natural and acceptable, indeed inevitable. It is this highly subversive and thought-provoking element of the film that makes it truly worthwhile.
With the recent announcements that they are releasing a new Rocky movie
and Basic Instinct sequel, it doesn't half make you despair. Getting
away from the mainstream though and you may find this gloriously dark
movie about contemporary vanity.
Story centres round a woman who whilst still very beautiful is shunned by her husband for younger more nubile girls. Fearing the decline of her looks to be able to keep the attention of her husband, she seeks out the meals (the "dumplings" in the title) of an estranged ex-doctor who feeds her with the belief that she has the answer to eternal youth.
Revelations and twists and turns, darken the proceedings as the film goes on (which I won't mention to not spoil the show) but it is unlikely that you will see a darker satire than this all year.
Excellent acting, sharp script and an unsettling score all combine to make a revelation of a film. The camera work is sharp, and the message is powerful yet never ham-fisted.
The nearest equivalent I can think of is "Death Becomes Her" (the US film with Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep & Goldie Hawn), but that is more light hearted in tone. This has humour, but far more blacker than that movie, with themes that touch not only rich society but also the working class as well.
A great movie, which I would highly recommend!
Not so much a horror as horrific. With youthful properties gained from apparently eating dumplings containing special stuff, I won't give away the twist that happens in the films opening sequence, this is a visceral ride through this sordid Hong Kong tale. With cinematography by Christopher Doyle who did last life in the universe and 2046, it looks amazing, the crazy colours and dazzling visuals are offset by disturbing ideas and gross out scenes. What follows is a story of the length people will go to in pursuit of vanity. Well acted, well paced and always unnerving you are never sure where the film is going to go from the start to the madness of the final chop ending. Fans of the twisted and people used to the bizarreness of Asian extreme films will really be swept along in the story and all the disgusting close-ups that add to the horror. Adding also is the crispy clear sound that has such attention to detail that the slightest noise even one as banal as a clock suddenly takes on an eerie feel. Overall a brilliantly played out film but one for those with a strong stomach.
In Hong Kong, an owner of a small Dumpling restaurant named Aunt Mei
(Bai Leng) is famous for her special dumplings that help rejuvenation
fast. Retired TV Actress Mrs. Lee is a loyal costumer who enjoys her
delicious delicacy and feels more younger, but her dirty bastard of a
husband is cheating on her as it wouldn't make any difference. Mei use
to be a former abortionist and later Mrs. Lee will soon discover the
secret recipe.
Grueling, well acted and alarming horror thriller from Hong Kong that is one of the most shocking films to ever come from Asia. Director-Editor Fruit Chan has made one sick little movie that doesn't really have much gore but disturbing subject matter to make the viewer a little queasy. There is some dark humor to propel the sickening atmosphere of this movie that makes this little film one controversial shocker. The cinematography is well crafted and the direction is quite nifty, this movie will guaranteed to mess with your mind once it's over.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.
Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882)
Contributed by: Zaady
Sex IS power. Identity is power. In western culture, there are no nonexploitative relationships. Everyone has killed in order to live.
Camille Paglia
Fountains indicate and signal well-being to all. Not only that, they share their Karmic energy with all who see, hear, smell, taste and touch them. They are, and always have been, necessary for permanent settlements. We use them when ever we turn on a tap. Fountains have come to symbolize the generosity of a god, an institution or a person. They indicate abundance and ingenuity. In every culture they play a part in the mythology of life.
Bryan R. Hirst
Source: Fountains
In Scandinavian mythology, for example, the fountain of Mimir, source of hidden wisdom, lay under the roots of the great world tree and in Islamic culture fountains are found referred to in the Koran, in the garden called Paradise. In the Bible the passage: "It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely," reflects the importance that fountains symbolized to the writers.
Ours is a youth culture, and like a golf tournament, we honor only low scores.
Bill Cosby (1937 -)
In the index to the six hundred odd pages of Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History, abridged version, the names of Copernicus, Galileo, Descartes and Newton do not occur yet their cosmic quest destroyed the medieval vision of an immutable social order in a walled-in universe and transformed the European landscape, society, culture, habits and general outlook, as thoroughly as if a new species had arisen on this planet.
Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983)

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.
Arthur Ashe (1943 - 1993)
Never tire yourself more than necessary, even if you have to found a culture on the fatigue of your bones.
Antonin Artaud (1896 - 1948)
I think it's one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates.
Angela Carter (1940 - 1992)
MONEY, n. A blessing that is of no advantage to us excepting when we part with it. An evidence of culture and a passport to polite society. Supportable property.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914)

Mental and physical health are so closely intertwined, that to try to heal properly identified in one disease, often require a potential attempt to cure other diseases. In many cases, the most effective way to restore optimal health of both body and mind, is to supplement your diet with herbs and other ways, which helps balance the natural simultaneously both systems, without causing side effects harmful.
Here are five plants absolutely necessary that might be just what the body needs to achieve optimal health, physical and mental:
1) Turmeric. Turmeric, the main active component or as curcumin, is one of the most studied plants clinically today, and possessing strong ability of the mind-body healing. A healing herb common to traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, turmeric possesses a unique ability to alleviate and even cure inflammation common cause of many chronic and autoimmune disorders haunt people today.
Due to its natural ability to normalize various physiological processes affected joint life stress and other factors, turmeric is thought to be one of the most powerful adaptogen that helps balance the system and facilitates and promotes healthy metabolism and nutrient uptake. By counteracting those stressors biological, chemical and physical agents causing diseases, turmeric may actually heal and protect against diseases that affect both mind and body
2) Ginger. Often underestimated as food because of banality, ginger is another powerful healing plant that was used in the world to prevent and cure diseases of all kinds. Some of the many benefits of ginger include its ability to stabilize a nervous or upset stomach, which can lead to some mental anxiety disorder and other physiological functions. Ginger has long been consumed raw for general calming effect of which can help general health, simultaneously with stopping the disease.
Ginger helps to improve digestion specifically by helping to break down protein and fat, which in turn prevents gas, intestinal blockage, and other adverse conditions may reduce immune function and can trigger the disease. Ginger supplementation may help lower blood pressure, relieve morning sickness in pregnant women and reducing bad cholesterol levels.
3) Aloe vera. Like ginger, aloe vera possess an incredible ability to alleviate nausea, improve digestion, cleanse the colon and digestive tract, and maintain healthy and functioning bowel elimination. Aloe vera can help relieve inflammation and improve blood oxygenation, two benefits that the people can make a big difference in promoting sustainable healthy.
In fact there are so many benefits of Aloe vera gel or as simply adding this powerful and juicy juice from the plant daily diet can effectively remedy a whole lot of physical and mental illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis, stones kidneys, ulcers, hypertension, nutritional deficiencies, constipation, diabetes, candida and other fungal infections, skin disorders, and cancer.
4)Tea tree oil. Typically used for topical application to cure various diseases and skin infections, tea tree oil is considered by many to be "miraculous healer of nature". An extremely versatile oil healer good at all, tea tree oil, which comes from tree Melaleuca is an exceptionally powerful antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, healing, bactericide, fungicide, insecticide, stimulant and sudorific, able to treat many different physical and mental illness.
Melaleuca tea consumption, for example, especially mixed with other herbs such as rosemary beneficial, passion flower, hibiscus and ginseng may help calm nerves and relieve simultaneously providing sustained energy and motivation. Adding a few drops of tea tree oil in a broadcast device, alone or mixed with other essential oils can also help clean the lungs and airways, to promote alertness, increase feelings and general health and wellness.
5) The holy basil. Another powerful adaptogenic herb, basil is known for helping to lift mood and soothe the mind. As about ginseng and licorice, about holy basil is said to enhance the mind-body-spirit connection through action on health diseases attacking each of these important human systems. Besides relieving stress in general and increase the immunity, holy basil help fight chronic inflammation, increase energy, promote mental clarity and thought, and improving digestion.
Known more commonly by Tulsi, holy basil is known for his ability to fight against various allergies and allergic symptoms that often lead to feelings of "brain fog" and mental incapacity. Those who basil their diet, especially with other adaptogenic plants are able to breathe better, digest food better, to think better, and in general feel better, regardless of disease disrupts their health .

As I understand it, $cat is set when a category page loads. Is that correct or no?
To further my question--once $cat is set, does it stay set until another category page is loaded?
If it stays set, is it possible to use an if statement in my sidebar to use the $cat value to show the other posts in the same category on a single post page (single.php)?

Goodness knows how many new homes are being built every year, hopefully each one of them has a garden to go with it. So what are people going to do with all those new gardens?
First of all there is usually a lot of undoing to do. In our first house the builder simply bulldozed all the rubble from the building site, and laid turf over the lot. There was grass but no soil at all just lumps of concrete and broken bricks.
Slowly remove bits of turf where you want flowers and replace the rubble with real soil. A new garden needs proper drainage. You will find most gardens get soggy at times, so look for the puddles and work out the best way of draining the garden. Often it means a land drain to a grid, which is easy to install.
Then work out where you look at the garden from, and plan it accordingly. Likely as not you'll need some privacy, so think about a good hedge that cuts out noise too.

BWW Exclusive: Dame Judi Dench Discusses Shakespeare, Her Passion, CATS, Potential Broadway Return
by Matt Tamanini - May 27, 2016
Only some are able to ever identify their specific passion, far fewer are able to achieve, and only a select handful are able to make their passion their life's work; Judi Dench is one of those few. When I asked her why, despite a career spanning more than five and a half decades, and nearly every major acting award the world over, she continues to return to the plays of William Shakespeare, in a tone exceedingly gentle, yet slightly dismayed that the question need even be asked, she said, 'Cause that's my passion, Matt.'

|"Savior 28" #1 on sale this week
On sale this week from IDW Publishing, the first issue of J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Cavallaroâs âThe Life and Times of Savior 28â sees the title superhero gunned down by a sniper during a press conference. If Savior 28âs untimely death reminds you of that of Captain America, it should: the seeds of âSavior 28â were sown during Matteisâ early â80s run on Marvelâs âCaptain America.â CBR News caught up with DeMatteis and artist Mike Cavallaro to talk about âSavior 28,â which DeMatteis calls his final word on superhero comics.
Celebrated for his work with DCâs Justice League, among other iconic characters and titles, DeMatteis has always loved the superhero genre. But the writer has had reservations about the genreâs adherence to violence as a necessary adjunct of the job of being a costumed hero. âIâve always had a problem with the violent content in superhero comics; the mindset that, however much we struggle to disguise it, says âAll problems are ultimately solved by dropping a building on a so-called bad guyâs head,ââ DeMatteis told CBR. âItâs a dangerous concept, especially in a world where many of our political leaders seem to possess the same black and white vision. âHey, those guys over there are evildoers, so letâs bomb the hell out of them because weâre the good guys fighting for truth and freedom.ââ
As such, âThe Life and Times of Savior 28â is a statement about violence. âIt has to do with violence in superhero comics, in pop culture in general and, ultimately, in the world around us,â DeMatteis explained. âAs I continued to develop the idea, it grew into a saga that spanned almost seventy years of American pop culture and politics.â
In the first issue of âSavior 28,â the title character takes a decidedly pacifist turn, a story point DeMatteis originally came up with during his run on âCaptain Americaâ in the 1980s. âIâd reached the climax of a year long Cap-Red Skull storyline and it led me to what I thought was a pretty interesting idea: What if this icon, this ultimate superhero, came to a point in his life where he just couldnât do it anymore?â DeMatteis recalled. âWhat if Cap said, âIâve spent decades solving problems with my fists, but all itâs brought me is death and sorrow. Now I have to find another way.ââÂ
DeMatteis said Capâs newfound pacifism would not have been received well, and would have ultimately resulted in the heroâs assassination. âGuess I was ahead of the curve on that one!â
The âCaptain Americaâ editor at the time, Mark Gruenwald, was excited by the prospect of seeing this Cap story through to fruition, but former Marvel Editor in Chief Jim Shooter had understandable reservations. âIf you have one of your major icons deciding that jumping around in tights punching people is, at its core, an idiotic idea, donât you invalidate your entire line of characters?â DeMatteis mused.
|Pages from "Savior 28" #1
But while DeMatteisâ aborted Captain America saga ended with the heroâs assassination, in âThe Life and Times of Savior 28,â the title characterâs death is just the beginning. âIâve been working on the idea ever since, developing it far beyond those original 1980s notions, creating a new universe of characters to play out this drama,â the writer said. âThe world has shifted so much in the intervening decades that the story plays out with far more resonance now than it would have during the Reagan era.â
Much of âSavior 28âsâ present-day narrative takes place in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks. In point of fact, Savior 28 blames himself for the hundreds of deaths in New York on that fateful day, because while suicide bombers were flying passenger planes into the World Trade Center, the hero was recovering from a weeklong bender.
Artist Mike Cavallaro assured CBR News that he and DeMatteis both took great care in deciding how to depict the 9/11 tragedy in the pages of the first issue. The transfixed horror with which a hungover Savior 28 watches a newscast recounting the attacks mirrors Cavallaroâs own state of mind at the time. âI was living on Manhattan's lower east side, and stepped out of my apartment to a full-on view of both towers in flames,â Cavallaro explained. âI became glued to the television replay, and sat there in shock for I don't know how long. It wasn't until a newscast said that a triage was being set up on the Chelsea piers, that something finally clicked, and I got on my BMX and rode there to volunteer.â
In âSavior 28,â we see the title character looking on dumbfounded as the TV news replays footage of the second plane strike. âI chose to depict a scene where disaster had already struck, and was about to strike again, because a lot of my own memories of the day seem to hang there in this strangely eternal moment of time,â Cavallaro said. â9/11 was a turning point in our culture, and had an indelible impact on our collective definitions of both heroism and villainy. And that, essentially, is what our story's about.â
The thousands of senseless deaths of that day led Savior 28 to turn over a new leaf and become a peace activist. âAfter 9/11, it seemed as if all our news was filtered through the White House and anyone who spoke out against the brewing war in Iraq was branded as anti-American,â DeMatteis said. âNews coverage of anti-war rallies, no matter how huge, was minimal, or non-existent. Dissenting voices were herded into âfree speech zones.ââÂ
Savior 28âs newfound pacifism was not a popular point of view in the wake of the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil in history, and it was on account of this dissenting opinion that the once-great hero wound up on the receiving end of a sniperâs bullet.
|"Savior 28" #1 on sale this week
While âSavior 28â clearly has some political content, DeMatteis stresses that at its core, the book is about the title characterâs internal struggle. âItâs about a man trying to figure out how to live his life, how to make a genuine difference in the world,â DeMatteis explained. âIâd say that ultimately itâs far more of a spiritual story than a political one. But placing 28âs journey against the backdrop of our recent, tumultuous political life certainly makes for an interesting ride.â
âSavior 28â may have begun its life as a Captain America story, but Savior 28 is much more than a thinly-veiled update of the iconic Marvel character. âThe story itself is, in a manner of speaking, a sort of retelling of the history of Comics themselves,â Cavallaro explained. âBecause Savior 28 is our catch-all for superheroes in general, he's not based on any one particular character -- he's based on all of them.â
The story is told not from the point of view of Savior 28 himself, but from the perspective of the heroâs one-time sidekick Dennis McNulty, also known as the Daring Disciple. âMcNulty was there from the â40s, when Savior 28 was born and he was there in 2003 when 28 was murdered,â DeMatteis explained. âThe narrative is McNultyâs attempt, looking back on all his years with a man who was both his hero and his nemesis, to sort through all the events and make some kind of sense of them.â
Orson Welles is one of J.M. DeMatteisâ favorite filmmakers, and his affection for the auteur led him to not only include Welles as a character in âSavior 28,â but also to structure the story in a way that is reminiscent of one of Wellesâ best-known films. ââSavior 28â has a âCitizen Kaneâ-like structure, in that it constantly jumps back and forth through time, through different periods of Savior 28âs life,â DeMatteis revealed. âSo the fact that our main character dies in the first issue doesnât mean he wonât be our main character. Weâll go from Pearl Harbor to the attack on the World Trade Center, from the rock-jawed hero of the â50s to the peace activist of 2003, from his origin to his assassination, with dozens of stops in between. Thereâs a constant cutting from era to era and, by the end, weâll come full circle to the present day.â
The uncompromising Savior 28 of the 1950s even wore his signature mask during dinners with his girlfriend Sam. âSavior 28 has, I think, a tendency to be a little preachy at times,â Cavallaro explained. âSomething about having the mask on during what should have been a romantic evening with Sam helped delineate the rigidity of Savior 28's frame of mind at that point in his career.â
|"Savior 28" #1 on sale this week
Savior 28âs costume underwent a number of subtle changes over his 70-year career as a superhero. âYou'll notice that in some WWII-era shots, he's sporting the traditional long-johns and cape, while in the â60s, the cape disappears for a period of time, giving Savior 28 a more streamlined appeal. In modern times, the cape actually came back, while other costume details evolved as well.â
And as far as Cavallaro was concerned, the fact that Savior 28 was not in full uniform on the day of his death was very telling. âI left off the cape and the gloves to show the fact that he's in an extreme state of emotional distress, the same way you might forget to put your tie on, or you might leave the house without your pants on (sure, like I'm the only one).â
Mike Cavallaro has been a fan of J.M. DeMatteis since his high school days. âI was immediately drawn to and influenced by the promise hinted at by series like âMoonshadow,ââ the artist said. âNamely, that you could tell any type of story in comics format.â Years later, a mutual friend introduced Cavallaro to DeMatteis, and a brief collaboration on the latterâs âPlanetary Brigadeâ set the stage for âSavior 28.â
âA few months back Mike sent me some preview pages of his online comic, âLoviathan,ââ DeMatteis recalled. âThe instant I saw the art, I knew Mike was the guy who was meant to draw âSavior 28.â Itâs been a blast creating a cast of new characters to populate 28âs world. I have the fun of dreaming them up, but poor Mike has to design them all. One minute this is a superhero piece, the next itâs a documentary, the next itâs a psychological study or a spiritual journey. We get big action pieces, quiet character moments, historical events. Itâs all over the map. And Mike has been meeting every challenge and then transcending it. His art is just extraordinary. The extra bonus is that Mikeâs also a terrific guy to work with: a total professional and an incredibly nice person. You canât ask for more than that in a collaborator.â
For his part, Cavallaro is equal parts excited and daunted by the prospect of working on a project with as much scope as âSavior 28.â âI keep telling myself that challenges like this make one grow as an artist,â he said. âIt's been a pleasure and an honor to work with someone who has such a unique voice as a writer, and is just one of the nicest and most encouraging guys I've ever met. Hopefully, I'm doing his masterful script justice.â
At lot happens in the first issue of âSavior 28,â but issue #1 is only the tip of the iceberg. âAmong other things, the second issue deals with both 28âs inner journey -- what really happened to push him over the edge, to change him so drastically -- and also explores the effect his transformation has on the rest of the superheroes in the Savior 28 universe,â DeMatteis said, adding that itâs a safe bet that Savior 28âs change of heart will not go over any better with his super-powered brothers-in-arms than it did with the general public.
Working on âSavior 28â has been nothing if not a challenge for J.M. DeMatteis. âThe story, and what it has to say, means so much to me that itâs sometimes intimidating to sit down and write,â he said. âEach issue has forced me to stretch and grow as a writer, pushing the boundaries of both my craft and my art. Iâve waited twenty-five years to do this (that fact amazes me: where did the time go?) and Iâm delighted with the result. And especially delighted that Mike Cavallaro is on this creative journey with me.â
âSavior 28â #1 hits stands this week from IDW Publishing.

MRSA and Staph Infections in Children
In this article
MRSA in Children: Prevention
You may have been scared by all the media attention given to MRSA. And you're right to pay attention. But also know that you can take steps to help keep your children safe. Here's what you can do:
- Teach your children to wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 15 seconds. This includes after playing with pets or other children.
- Have your children use alcohol-based hand sanitizers or wipes when washing isn't possible.
- Teach your children not to share towels, uniforms, or other items that come into contact with bare skin.
- Keep cuts or broken skin clean and covered with dry bandages until healed.
- Encourage your children to clean shared sports equipment with antiseptic solution before each use. Or, he or she can use a towel as a barrier between skin and equipment.
- If your child has dry skin, eczema, or a skin condition, use creams and moisturizers as directed by the doctor. Try to keep areas of flare-up on the skin covered to prevent an entryway for bacteria, as the natural skin barrier may be compromised.
- Protect against sunburn and bug bites.
Of course, if a friend or someone in your family becomes infected with MRSA, these prevention steps are even more important.
Remember: although MRSA can show up anywhere, it is more likely when these "Five Cs" are present:
- Crowding
- Contact between skin
- Compromised skin (cuts or scrapes)
- Contaminated items
- Cleanliness lacking
MRSA in Children: Symptoms
If you suspect your child has a MRSA infection, seek medical attention right away.
Call the doctor if:
- Your child or other family member has a red, painful, swollen, warm, pus-filled, or red-streaked area of skin, with or without draining; these skin infections may look like boils. They often show up in areas where there has been a cut or scrape.
- Your child or other family member also has a fever or feels sick
- Skin infections are passing between family members or friends
MRSA in Children: Treatment
Treatment for MRSA may include:
- Draining any skin abscesses
- Prescribing antibiotics to prevent widespread infection

SANTIAGO, Chile -- A major earthquake struck northern Chile on Wednesday, toppling power lines, closing roads and sending terrified residents into the streets. Authorities reported 20 injuries but no deaths from the quake, which was felt in the capital as well as neighboring Peru and Bolivia.
The earthquake, which struck at 12:40 p.m. local time, measured magnitude 7.7 and was centered 780 miles north of Santiago, or 25 miles east-southeast of Tocopilla, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The USGS said it occurred about 37.3 miles underground.
The U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued, then canceled a tsunami warning for Chile and Peru. It said the quake generated only a 2-foot wave.
Aftershocks were felt in several cities, according to media reports from the area.
Some houses were damaged in the port city of Tocopilla, according to Deputy Interior Minister Felipe Harboe, "and some people were injured, apparently none seriously." He gave no figures but the government's Emergency Bureau said at least 20 people were injured in the small town of Maria Elena. A number of houses were damaged there, said Mayor Eduardo Ahumada.
Presidential spokesman Ricardo Lagos Weber said power was cut in several cities in northern Chile.
The region is home to some of the country's largest copper mines. A statement from mine operator Codelco reported no "relevant" damage, but said its mines in the region were without power and only emergency teams were operating. Only minor landslides were reported, it said.
Television images showed cars crushed by the collapse of a hotel entryway in Antofagasta, 105 miles south of the epicenter. A reporter for Radio Cooperativa said she saw cracks in the tarmac at the airport in Antofagasta.
Schools, hospitals and other buildings were evacuated in several cities.
"It was horribly strong. It was very long and there was a lot of underground noise," said Andrea Riveros, spokeswoman for the Park Hotel in Calama, 60 miles from the epicenter and site of the large Chuquicamata copper mine.
She said the quake knocked out power to the hotel, but caused no damage.
At the nearby Agua del Desierto Hotel, administrator Paola Barria said she felt like she was riding on "a floating island." She reported downed power lines, cracked windows and fallen pieces of houses near the hotel.
