Thats no excuse. A lot of people are upset about things, but it doesn't give them an excuse to go be ASBO scum and commit juvenile, pathetic acts like that.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

That is true sentinel65 i used the term terrorist brashly in the case of Sea Shepard considering the fact the term has negative connotations. I personally respect Sea Shepard for even though they do often violently and aggresively harrass whaling ships the circumstnces call for it. Whaling is a cruel industry that enviromentalist have been fighting for years even decades and still certian places persitently continue it even though most of the world has banned it! In the case of Peta though we ARE affecting real change! The world is in such a different state now with veganism and animal rights a popular subject on the top of peoples minds. You have a point Annie but in case you hadn't noticed the fact that we floured bomb Kim was not on the news. What was on the news was that Lady Gaga thinks we're stupid because of it which only gets us negative attention like peacelovepie says we already have all the attention we need. EVERYONE knows about Peta and instead of getting more attention we need to use the attention we already have to start serious actions. When we do things like flourbombing we make people who are on the fence on the issue think we're bullies trying beat people into submission through violence. we have the attention we know need to use persuasion or else people will reject anything animal rights just on the principle that they don't want to submit to anybody no matter what issue they are forcing.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey all,
It's great that you care about animals! 🙂
PETA's mission is to get the animal rights message out to as many people as possible. Unlike our opposition—which is mostly composed of wealthy industries and corporations—PETA must rely largely on free "advertising" through media coverage. We will do extraordinary things to get the word out about animal cruelty because we have learned from experience that the media, sadly, do not consider the terrible facts about animal suffering alone interesting enough to cover. It is sometimes necessary to shake people up in order to initiate discussion, debate, questioning of the status quo, and, of course, action. 🙂

@Octopus, I do agree with what you are saying, PETA shouldn't do things like throw pies and flour. It really doesn't do anything, and certain large-scale organizations should stay clean. But I wouldn't go around calling Sea Shepherd terrorists. There are people that would call us terrorists because we're part of PETA. The only people that I've seen refer to them or us as 'terrorists' is politicians that want to mislead the public into thinking that we're the bad guys/girls. The ARM are terrorists. To place Sea Shepard in the same title as them doesn't seem right, at least to me. And after all aren't we all trying to accomplish the same goal? (Not trying to start a giant argument here, just informing and curious as to why you would call them terrorists)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

STARKVILLE -- Johnthan Banks feels the Mississippi State football team's first three games have helped him prepare for his next assignment against the high octane passing game of Louisiana Tech (6 p.m., Saturday, ESPNU).
STARKVILLE -- Warm weather is a recruiting tool for indoor sports, too. Lainey Wyman sat down with her parents one evening to map out what was important in her college choice. In the living room of their suburban Chicago home, Matt and Kathy Wyman realized that map needed to include the southern United States.
STARKVILLE - "Chris Relf is our starter." Those five words were all Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen needed to dismiss a quarterback controversy. Looking for what he called "a spark" to an offense that had 16 yards in the second half, Mullen pulled Relf and inserted Tyler Russell for the final 10 minutes of MSU's 19-6 loss to No. 3 LSU on Thursday night.
STARKVILLE -- A school-record seven of the Mississippi State men's basketball team's non-conference games will be televised this season, including three of the first five outings on the ESPN family of networks.
STARKVILLE -- The University of Mississippi and the Mississippi State baseball programs had recruiting classes ranked in the top 20 nationally according to the annual survey by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
When the East Mississippi Community College football team played its first home game Sept. 1 at new Sullivan-Windham Field, the Lions kicked off what many thought would be a good season. Three weeks later, EMCC is home. This time, the compass is pointed toward the prospects of a great season.
STARKVILLE -- The book on how to attack Mississippi State's in the passing game is to target the linebackers. Offensive coaches across America are trying to duplicate what Auburn University offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn did to rack up 381 total yards in a 41-34 victory on Sept. 10. Three games into his first season as linebackers coach/co-defensive coordinator at MSU, Geoff Collins is being reminded what it's like to tutor a young group on how to play against the nation's top offenses.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State redshirt freshman tailback Nick Griffin could get see his first action Saturday. MSU coach Dan Mullen confirmed Monday afternoon in his weekly press conference that the redshirt freshman has been medically cleared to play and will be active for the team's game at 6 p.m. Saturday (ESPNU) against Louisiana Tech (1-2).
OXFORD -- University of Mississippi Athletic Director Pete Boone said Monday "everyone who loves Ole Miss is clearly frustrated" about the progress of the football program. Coach Houston Nutt said the blame starts with him.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Bobby Petrino's sideline theatrics were a good barometer of how he felt Saturday night. The University of Arkansas coach took out his frustration in numerous ways during the first half -- primarily on his headset (thrown to the ground), paper cup (also thrown in disgust) and Razorbacks quarterback Tyler Wilson. And that was with No. 14 Arkansas up 24-0 in an eventual 38-28 win against Troy.
STARKVILLE -- After the Mississippi State football team fell inches shy of getting a chance to beat the defending national champions in the second week of the 2011 season, head coach Dan Mullen admitted he received a lot of "hate mail" from fans.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Houston Nutt put his arms on his hips, crossed them, and went back and forth. While assistant coaches yelled at players, the University of Mississippi coach had a frown on his face.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy each had two long touchdown runs and career rushing highs Saturday night to lead the No. 2 University of Alabama football team to a 41-0 victory against North Texas.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State junior right guard Tobias Smith will miss the remainder of the 2011 football season after injuring his left knee Thursday night in a 19-6 loss to No. 3 LSU at Davis Wade Stadium.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt coach James Franklin preaches on 6 seconds. He wants his Commodores thinking ahead only for the 6 seconds it takes from the snap of the ball to the whistle. No more, no less. With the Commodores 2-0 and hosting Mississippi in both teams' Southeastern Conference opener today, that is a little tougher for those around long enough to know to enjoy being undefeated. Another win would top the 2-10 marks of each of the past two seasons and match the 3-0 start of 2008 when they went 7-6.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama's Josh Chapman insists it's easy to get up for opponents like North Texas, who presumably can't match the second-ranked Crimson Tide's size, depth or speed. He even scoffs at the notion that 'Bama (2-0) might be a little distracted going into tonight's game by that upcoming SEC Western Division showdown with No. 14 Arkansas.
STARKVILLE -- The Mississippi State football team's home opener and likely its Southeastern Conference Western Division title hopes were spoiled Thursday night after another deflating loss to LSU. On a night where points were at a premium, No. 3 LSU physically took away everything No. 25 MSU wanted to accomplish in a 19-6 victory before a crowd of 56,924 at Davis Wade Stadium.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State defensive coordinator Chris Wilson entered Thursday night with a mission to make LSU quarterback Jarrett Lee win the football game. The Tigers' senior quarterback did just that in a 19-6 victory, connecting on 21 of 27 passes for 213 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown that sealed the win.
STARKVILLE -- For the final 10 minutes Thursday, Mississippi State starting quarterback Chris Relf stood on the sidelines with headphones on watching his backup finish the job. MSU coach Dan Mullen went to sophomore quarterback Tyler Russell with 10 minutes, 8 seconds left in the contest and his team trailing 16-6 hoping for what he called "an offensive spark."
SENATOBIA -- Close games continue to be the norm for the East Mississippi Community College football team. This time, No. 8 EMCC used a missed field goal return for a touchdown and an interception return for another score to outlast No. 4 Northwest Mississippi C.C. 45-42 at Bobby Franklin Field in the MACJC North Division opener for both schools.

Installation seems to be ok. The problem is every time I try to login to the admin area I get redirected back to the login page???
Thx - Susan
what URL are you trying to log in to? Does it tell you "wrong username" or "wrong password"?
It tries to redirect to:
But cannot so it reloads the login.php! But no error messages.
There is another thread on same problem at
do you have a link?
Hmm...I see nothing in the source code that's off - of course, it's PHP so I guess I wouldn't. But putting in the incorrect password is doing what it's supposed to be doing.
I don't know, have you checked the wp-login.php file on your hard drive (that you uploaded) against the file on the server? If they aren't the same filesize, it could have been corrupted in the transfer....
I'm at a loss here.
Me too :'(
I'm not the only one with this problem. But still, I would like to know why, or how I can fix this.
Did you try reinstalling with fresh files? That's the only thing I could think, is that something got corrupted.
Or maybe clear your cache? That might be doing it, too.
Do you have your browser set to accept cookies by default? If your browser is blocking cookies then WP will do exactly what you describe.
Alternatively, even if it is accepting cookies, it could be a corrupted cookie. In which case you need to delete cookies for your site and try again.
I cleared my database tables uploaded fresh copies of wp-config.php, etc. Reinstalled. Successfully repopulated database. Still same problem!
I hav emptied the cache, removed the cookies.
Still same problem!
I'm willing to try anything at this point :-{
BTW, this is the URL generated by the login.
at first blush it looks okay. But I noticed an "extra" bit of URL encoding in the redirect
instead of
Am I reaching?
I am having same exact same problem. Reinstalled, etc.
I have a lousy workaround:
If I place my cursor to the end of the URL and hit enter, THEN it takes me to the Admin page or whatever page was referred in the redirect.
This tells me it is the REDIRECT in the URL that is failing.
Firefox and Internet Explorer same thing.
Please help?
Ahhh...you have a space in your URL! You have "member folders" instead of "member-folders" or "member_folders".
Can you change that? (of course, if you do, you'll probably need to update your database with the new URL - otherwise it'll disappear - it's easy enough to do if you have phpMyAdmin access to your databases) That could be what's screwing things up. Because WordPress will put in dashes for things with spaces - like for your category slugs and such? I'd say that's why it's doing it.
Unfortunately, I did not set up the site architecture. And it's more than updating the database. It's updating every single link from hundreds of pages.
But before we say "Eureka!" I am going to reinstall WP in the home directory and see if that makes a difference.
Okay - that'd be a good idea. I'm not *positive* that the space it's what's doing it - but it's definitely a possibility.
There also may be a way around it...I know there was another case a while back where the space in the links was causing an issue, but I'd have to search around and try to find it (it's been a while) and see what the solution is.
Maybe you could just use .htaccess to rewrite the URLs on the site? That's a possibility.
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^member%20folders/... members_folders... [nc]
I know that last line is wrong - I'm not .htaccess expert. But I know you can do something like that to help rewrite the URL so that you're directed to the proper place - hopefully someone better versed in it can come along and assist in the proper format. But you could also look it up and find some .htaccess tutorials on how to write it and experiment.
But you'd need to place the .htaccess file in the /barney folder - maybe it's the /barney/wordpress folder - but I think it's the upper level that you need to place it in.
Seriously, I hope someone better versed in .htaccess can improve upon my idea here, but I think it would work.
I've experienced the exact same thing here
I started out having WordPress installed in a /wordpress folder, and install goes well, tables made everything a success, get to the login page and enter info and it redirects from
If i enter incorrect data into the login area, it does stop me so i know that that part of it is working.
I actually got in once, and used it for a bit, but uppon logging out and then trying again i have the redirect issue.
So....I cleared my tables, and deleted the directory, and re-uploaded the WP files directly onto the root directory...and i get the same thing
redirects to
and i get:
Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.
on my page. I've tried this in IE and FireFox to no avail...
Is There any way to fix this that anyone has found yet?
Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.
That's a IIS error. You're running WordPress on a host that uses a windows server, and is running PHP - probably as a CGI program.
Windows servers don't like .htaccess. Also, when you moved your blog, did you install it first? (You didn't mention that step - you just said you cleared the tables, then moved the files and tried to login.)
Putting WordPress on a Windows server opens up a whole new world of issues.
I sent my last post to my Hosting provider as well and they made some changes and now everything works!
Thanks for the info though!
Okay. WordPress does NOT like odd URLs. I installed it in the home directory and it works.
Problem is I need to have it work in the badly named "member folders" directory. I tried doodlebee's url rewrite and that generated a 500. But I think she's got the best idea here. Anyone have input on the correct syntax for the .htaccess file?
Please ... :-D
I tried doodlebee's url rewrite and that generated a 500.
You should post what your syntax *was* - it's possible that your server doesn't have mod-rewrite enabled. In that case, nothing you do with .htaccess will work - what I directed you to do *required* mod_rewrite to be enabled on your server. So be sure you have that (you'll have to ask your host to see if it's enabled).
Another *possibility*...I don't know how well this will work - but you can try to change your URI to incorporate the space. But to do this, you need to have phpMyAdmin access. So, instead of "member folders", you could purposely put in that character for the space that keeps showing up.
To do that, you need to log into your phpMyAdmin, and go to "wp_settings" (I think? It's towards the bottom of your list) - inside, you're looking for the "blog_url" table. Check the box next to it, and click "browse" at the top. You'll see an area that has your current URL in there:
"http://the-garrison.com/member folders/barney/wordpress/"
Change it to add in the character for the space... "member folders" gets changed to "member%20folders", then save your changes.
That *may* help. I'm not 100% sure it will, but it's possible. You can give it a shot and see, and if it doesn't it's just a matter of undoing the change you just made (to get back to where you are). That would be the easiest method to try, I think.
Thx Doodlebee. Bear with me here, as I'm pretty much stumbling around.
I used your suggestions for the .htaccess file. RewriteEngine activates the mod-rewrite on the server. So, I think it's the last line for the RewriteRule
My PHPMyAdmin access is limited to the actual databases. And there is nothing immediately obvious except for the user tables in the WordPress database.
Thx again for helping out here.
My PHPMyAdmin access is limited to the actual databases.
Right - that's fine. You just need to look for the "blog_url" table in the database. Unless you're saying the only access you have is to create or delete databases, and nothing more? "cause that would be very sad, indeed - I'd get a new host if I were presented with that info.
I can query, empty, drop, etc via PHPMyAdmin.
But ... there is no "blog_url" table in the database??? There are ten "user" tables that were created at install. (I changed the "wp_" as I hope to use one database for multiple blogs) They are:
Sorry i'm just not seeing it. Chances are good I am looking in the wrong place :-{
But ... there is no "blog_url" table in the database???
As I said in the post above ("you need to log into your phpMyAdmin, and go to "wp_settings" (I think? It's towards the bottom of your list) - inside, you're looking for the "blog_url" table."), the blog_url is located within one of the last few tables - I *think* it's the "options", not "settings" as mentioned in the previous post, apologies for that - table, but it could be one of the other ones - you'll have to look for it.
There is something very funny about this. But first ...
Thank you doodlebee for all your help!!!
I went in to the _options table, found something called blog_id, and inside was "siteurl" and this was where it got squidgy. It had set the site url to
which u'ld think was correct. I edited to have the space instead so it looked like this
http://the-garrison.com/member folders/
And "Eureka!" I'm in.
Thx for ur help, and patience -S

Hi Everyone.
Hope someone can please help!
I have some tags for posts, but want to have custom lists of tags down the right column, organised into tag categories. These won't necessarily contain all the tags, so the list doesn't have to be automated (e.g. when new tags are added to posts, they don't need to automatically display, I would prefer to hard code them into a list if required) - it will be specific tags that I have already chosen. Also, the category itself doesn't have to be a tag (for example, as below, Asset Class just needs to be a header, it doesn't need to link to anything.
For example:
Asset Class
- Equities
- Fixed Income
- Alternatives
- Healthcare
- Technology
Is there a way of doing this? I don't want to make them into categories as I use categories for media type.

A New Zealand man was killed in a rare shark attack at a popular tourist beach on Wednesday, with police forced to shoot at the predator from a boat to retrieve the victim's body, officials said.
The attack took place at Muriwai Beach, 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Auckland at about 1:30 pm (1230 GMT), police said, and is the first confirmed shark fatality in the country for more than 35 years.
The St John ambulance service said the victim was a 47-year-old man, who witnesses said was a local who had been swimming about 100 metres offshore when he was attacked.
They reported seeing a huge patch of blood in the water and said swimmers, including a large group of students on an excursion to the beach, scrambled for shore as the cry of "shark" went up.
"Everybody was evacuated from the water, word of mouth -- 'shark!' -- and everybody left the water," witness Stef McCallum told Fairfax Media.
Muriwai Lifeguard Service volunteer Tim Jago said it was a "very big shark", about four metres (14 feet) long, believed to be a great white, the species depicted in the 1975 Steven Spielberg blockbuster "Jaws".
He said the shark was still biting the victim's body when police arrived and they went out with volunteers in an inflatable rescue boat and shot at the animal to distract it while they pulled the body aboard.
"The shark rolled away, it disappeared from sight and has not been seen since," Jago told Radio New Zealand, adding beaches in the area would remain closed until Friday in case the animal had survived the shooting and remained nearby.
The last confirmed shark death in the country was in 1976, according to the Te Ara Encyclopaedia of New Zealand. A death in 2009 is often attributed to sharks, but investigators could not be sure the victim had not drowned before being mauled.

This recipes was really easy. I did peel apples first and then just used potato masher when done. It is really good. Thank you.
I really enjoyed making this; it reminded me a lot of the applesauce my mom makes. I did it in the corckpot and then I did another batch on the stove. the crockpot version turned out better, but I don't know why. next time, I'll definitely take the time to peel the apples--I just used my handblender to puree everything, and it left sharp slivers of peel. (silly me...) thanks for a great recipe, Linda!
I like this recipe with papergodess' recommendation for the crockpot! The first batch, though, I wasn't happy with the peels even after the food processor. The next batch I peeled , and even though I left out the cinnamon stick, ROSY is nice. Mine, like always,even after lemon juice to try and stop it, turned way too dark for me. But that's just me, my husband cares not what the color is! I'm making another batch tonight!
This is a really great applesauce. I loved it and I really think the vanilla added alot of flavor to it. I used this for a class project I was doing and I am glad I choose this recipe! This recipe is a KEEPER and I will be making it again! :D
Delicious applesauce-- made mine with Jonagold, Empire, and Cortland apples that we picked at an orchard last weekend. Love the fact that the peels can be incorporated-- more nutrients and less hassle. I took papergoddess' lead and cooked this in the crockpot overnight. I added 1 T lemon juice and instead of sugar, went with 3/4 c Splenda (we like it sweet). I didn't add any water at all, and I'm glad I didn't because there was enough lodged in the apples themselves to produce a great sauce consistency. It was lovely this morning with sour cream over whole wheat pancakes. (P.S. If you don't own an apple corer, by all means get one! It makes quick work of coring and rough chopping.)
This recipe really inspired me. I had four apple trees, all ready at once. I was sick of peeling apples, but I didn't want to waste them. I followed your recipe, but I cooked them on LOW in my crockpot overnight. I washed, quartered, and cored them, and filled the crockpot, skins and all. The next morning, I pureed it in the blender,poured into sterilized jars, and processed in a water bath. This was the easiest applesauce recipe I've ever found. It does have a nice pink color when it's done, too.
I followed the recipe but, used cranberry juice instead of water. Sauce was delicious and a nice 'pinky' colour. I used my potato masher as Ellen did, works fine, applesauce is a bit chunky, just the way we like it..
I made this last night and my boyfriend loved it. I had never made applesauce before and this quick and simple recipe caught my eye. I used brown sugar instead of white though. It turned out rather brown, but delicious.

LONDON (AP) - Nicole Kidman has moved on since her divorce to fellow Hollywood star Tom Cruise, and she hopes others will follow suit.
"Everyone keeps asking me all the time, 'How are you? How are you?' I mean divorce is divorce and it's a really tough thing to go through," Kidman said in a television interview aired Saturday on the British Broadcasting Corp. "You have to pick yourself up and move forward and that is what I am doing."
Did the divorce sour her on the institution of marriage? "Oh no, I'd love to get married again," she said.
Kidman described her 11-year relationship with Cruise as a "fish bowl" that sometimes forced the couple to take extreme measures to protect their privacy.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) - "Jurassic Park" actress Tea Leoni hopes to increase breast cancer awareness with her participation in the sixth annual Take-A-Hike.
"She really is very committed at this. Her grandmother had breast cancer," said Take-A-Hike spokeswoman Brenda Himelfarb. "This is the fourth year that Tea has been involved."
The event, which benefits several breast cancer research organizations, involved taking participants for hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Referring indirectly to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, he said academy members are uniquely positioned to build understanding.
"We have an opportunity to speak to a wide public, here and abroad, about the value of employing our creative faculties - our intellects, our expressiveness - to overcome the hatred and suspicions that have proved so deadly and dangerous," Jones said during Saturday's ceremony at Harvard Law School. Among this year's other inductees are Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel, and photographer Richard Avedon.

Looks great to me insaint, very nice work. I happen to be a stickler for dark skins, and I genuinely do like your layout.
Keep up the good work.
Nice site, insaint.
I'm a big fan of inverted white/black.
I really like the contrast that the links have with the text.
The header graphic is really nice (It doesn't appear on the top of the page for me, though.)
Even AdSense is nicely integrated.
I have only have two very minor things that I'd like to add (Very personal, so don't take them the wrong way):
* Pop-ups. (not a huge fan)
* This is prolly just the contrast on my monitor, but the input boxes are hard to see. Maybe lighten the gray just a tad.
As I said, very minor.
Good job,
thanks! regarding the pop-ups, actually I didn't notice it until you told me. Maybe my firefox blocked it. anyway i found out that the pop-up is from WebStats counter. will fix it soon!
thanks for ur comments :) appreciate them
and the banner, it's meant to be like that. it's not aligned to the top
dont kill your site , remove your pop ups !!
really sorry that i didn't notice the pop up. now i'm trying to find a better web stats tracker. any recommendations?
Lovin the theme and all the "wet floor" effect on the pics. As for stats, I use the awesome and free AWStats.
thanks :) will check out AWStats
AWStats looks great, too bad I can't run CGI and PERL on my host. I used this instead: http://www.statcounter.com/
Nice Site !
thanks! :)

BASEBALL: SUBWAY SERIES; Clemens Throws a Bat, Then Dominates the Mets
By BUSTER OLNEY
Published: October 23, 2000
Roger Clemens threw fastballs that reached 99 miles an hour, but drew even more attention for firing a broken bat in the direction of the Mets' Mike Piazza last night, pitching eight shutout innings and heightening the emotions of the Subway Series that is being controlled by the Yankees.
Facing Piazza for the first time since hitting the Mets catcher in the head with a fastball in July, Clemens sparked an astonishing bench-clearing incident in the first inning by hurling the broken bat. But Clemens retreated to a private room in the clubhouse, refocused and continued his recent postseason domination, allowing only two hits and striking out nine in a 6-5 victory over the Mets in Game 2 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium. The Mets rallied to score all their runs in the last inning, but now the Yankees have won when facing the Mets' two best pitchers -- Al Leiter was their Game 1 starter -- and lead the four-of-seven-game Series by two victories to none, extending their record streak of World Series victories to 14.
The Mets are in serious trouble, and will try to regain their footing in Game 3 at Shea Stadium tomorrow night, when Rick Reed will pitch against the Yankees' Orlando Hernandez, who is unbeaten in postseason play. The Mets must win four of the next five games against the Yankees, who have won six of their last seven games.
Clemens shut out Seattle on one hit in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series nine days ago, and in his last two games, opposing hitters are 3 for 55 (.055) against Clemens, with 24 strikeouts.
But Clemens and his manager, Joe Torre, became animated when questioned after the game about Clemens's intent when he threw the bat at Piazza. ''There was no intent there,'' Clemens said repeatedly.
Torre said: ''It was just emotional. Should he have done it? No.''
Clemens's beaning of Piazza three and a half months ago has hovered over this Series, and although Torre has accused the news media of reopening the wound in the last week, the Mets' hostility toward Clemens has never really dissipated. Everything Clemens did last night would be seen by the Mets through the prism of that incident in July.
Some of the Yankees had been concerned about Clemens's mood after a week in which the beaning was revisited time and again, and some of them tried to pump him up during the day. Clemens wore linebacker's eyes to the mound. He wears a mouthpiece when he pitches, and his lower jaw was locked, his chin pushed forward, except when he cursed, either at himself or the batter, or at no one in particular.
Timo Perez faked a bunt on Clemens's first pitch and Clemens breathed two words, one syllable apiece, verbal aggression. He shook his head between pitches, talked aloud, his inner frenzy and his fastball both gaining speed. He struck out Perez with fastballs, all of them 97 m.p.h., and twice he threw 98-m.p.h. fastballs to Edgardo Alfonzo, before finishing off the second baseman with a 94-m.p.h. splitter -- a stunning speed for that diving pitch.
Piazza was announced as the next hitter and the crowd of 56,059 roared, the culmination of 106 days of anticipation for the first confrontation between the two men since Clemens beaned Piazza on July 8. The pitcher pumped two fastballs for strikes. Then, after throwing a ball out of the strike zone, Clemens fired inside, shattering Piazza's bat into at least three pieces.
The ball went foul and the barrel of the bat bounced toward Clemens, who fielded it as he would a grounder, then turned and fired the fragment sidearm toward Piazza, the bat head skimming and skittering along the ground just in front of Piazza.
Piazza was stunned, and he turned and stared at Clemens, moving toward the pitcher, turning the bat handle in his hand, stepping across the base line. The Mets coaching staff and players immediately rushed from their dugout. Clemens held his hand up, as if to ask the umpire for a new ball, but then came face to face with Piazza, appearing to tell Piazza that he thought the barrel was the ball.
Piazza said in July that he had lost respect for Clemens, and having just seen a bat go flying across his path, Piazza was stunned. He shouted at Clemens, asking him what his problem was. Then the Mets' bench coach, John Stearns -- who had tried to confront Clemens the day after the beaning -- bulled his way toward the pitcher, screaming. The two hordes of Yankees and Mets were bunched together, some pushing, the group turning slowly, like a satellite image of a hurricane.
Torre grabbed Stearns, who used to play for him, and tried to calm him down, and gradually, as Clemens and Piazza were separated, the situation came under control without punches. But in his moment of anger or mania, Clemens heated those simmering emotions back to a full boil, by throwing a bat head and not a baseball. It felt surreal. After Piazza grounded out to second, the crowd was still murmuring while Clemens stopped and talked to the plate umpire, Charlie Reliford, explaining his actions.

Driven by the repurposing of wide swaths of RF spectrum traditionally used for wireless mics (2010's clearing of the 700 MHz band, the upcoming Incentive Auction of the 600 MHz band, and their equivalents throughout the world), manufacturers are pursuing solutions so that the wireless mics and similar devices will remain viable in the future. … View this story

I am utterly technologically inept, and you all can laugh at me behind my back...but only after you give me some help :-) I want to convert from a b2 blog to a WordPress blog, and I've done something incredibly stupid in the process. I accidentally deleted my b2 installation. I had an old version of WordPress installed in the same directory. I wanted to upgrade WordPress before importing my b2 blogs, so I thought I'd just remove the old installation first and install the latest version of WordPress. In the process of removing the old installation, the whole directory was wiped out.
I have a backup of the MYSQL database containing my blog posts, comments, etc. Is there a way to import this data to my WordPress installation using only that database, without a b2 installation?

At our house we would allow one present to be chosen and opened. The rest waited till tomorrow. And no shaking of presents!
Come on you know you want to.
Everyone gets curious and excited!
We always opened presents on Christmas Eve. Still do.
We spend Christmas eve with my sister-in-law and her son, and exchange and open presents there. Christmas morning is our time to open presents at home, and relax for a few minutes, then it's off to my father's house for a gathering with my father, brother and his wife, her cousin and his wife, and a young family of English immigrants that dad befriended. On Boxing day, we relax at home. And start cleaning up the Christmas mess. :)
I'm with you Evie, but then of course, we're of the same generation trying hard to hold on to traditions. Can't wait 'til tomorrow and the 'big unveiling' of Wally's gift to Joan.
Perhaps, not everyone can be together at Christmas. Some people have to work or are away for Christmas. Thanks to all of the medical staff, police, ems, military, firemen, missionaries, etc for all that they do. Merry Christmas.
Wally's gift to Joan? You mean the fantasy trip to Peoria?
Oh, the anticipation! That's the best part : D
Merry Christmas Everyone Click on my rabbit, please.
Cheer up Evie, in many parts of Europe today IS Christmas and all presents are opened on the 24th. Just tell yourself you're celebrating Europe style this year.
Which reminds me, merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. Nice day to the rest :-)
I'm with you too, Evie. I like the excitement of Christmas Day! (But I'm fine with opening up one on Christmas Eve.)
We always allowed the girls to open one gift on Christmas Eve before we went to church. The rest waited until Christmas morning.
Happy Holidays to one and all.

The U.S. gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in the second quarter 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.
The American Association of Port Authorities is concerned that local agencies with no nexus to ports are taking advantage of a federal program designed to help ports pay for security needs.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
After a weak first quarter in 2016, east-west capacity rebounded slightly in advance of the traditional summer peak season, but overcapacity, decreased volumes and low rates continued to drive carriers into the ever-changing alliance game.
The expanded Panama Canal locks, which just opened June 26 to handle vessels up to 14,000 TEUs, are expected to reshape U.S. East Coast port operations.
Meanwhile, just this Friday, the Shanghai Shipping Exchange said its Shanghai Containerized Freight Index declined 6.2 percent from last Friday's reading of 670.29 to a reading of 628.59.

Great plugin and terrific support - thanks!
We have a blog that contains old articles from the 1970s-1990s - one article per post - and the posts are back-dated to match the original publication dates of the articles.
I'm using Facebook to update followers on newly posted *old* articles, but it seems that Subscribe2 is unable to trigger a digest because of the old post dates.
We definitely want to keep the post dates to match the article dates. Is there a way to get Subscribe2 to send a digest when we add (pre-dated) articles?

As those of you who follow me on Instagram know, I've been in Italy recently, specifically Cinque Terre. A combination of work & family/friends visit, timed around the olive harvest. In past years I've eagerly assisted with the grape harvest, going as far as stomping the many buckets of grapes with my bare feet. What fun! But olives? I had never before taken part in the harvest, choosing instead to busy myself with work while my Italian labors in the land. This year however, I decided to find out exactly how this homegrown oil is created.
Ever since my first visit to what I then called 'paradise found' during my year of travels, I fell in love with Monterosso al Mare. Little did I know that I would meet a man from this very land and come to call it my home. Recently we spent nearly two weeks living on the sea. Blissfully. Days began with yoga beneath a kiwi canopy and visits to the bakery for cappuccino and a fresh cannoli, followed by picking capers in the garden, or lemons in the grove (that task was left to my Italian). A family lunch followed a siesta beneath the shade of a beach umbrella. Evenings spent with friends. Every night I fell asleep to the lullaby of the sea, some nights it bellowed to us, other nights it whispered. I rose to the church bells.
As I wrote five years ago during my third visit, I have come more deeply to cherish this land where nature reigns and life is valued in the most basic and beautiful of ways.
How important it is to slow down and appreciate the art of living.
Until we meet again… and life on the sea continues.
As many times as I've stepped onto an airplane, crossing a continent, it never ceases to amaze me how in mere hours you can be transported through time, or so it feels. Most recently I flew from Pisa, near Monterosso where my Italian and I spent the weekend with his family and friends…
…to New York City, to visit my family and friends. From what felt like the past, to the future.
Could there be any two places on the earth more different yet equally loved? Yes, certainly there are. But these are mine. Two very distinct and disparate parts of the world I call home. One for it's calm and beauty, and one for it's energy and innovation. And both for their culture. Not to mention all the other parts of the world that became home even for a brief moment. Ah yes, and then there's Paris…
This time of year I look forward to the grape harvest in Italy. My first real experience paying homage to the grape was two years ago, and still I drink the wine in memory of those days. This year the harvest was not as plentiful, but my Italian and I set to work and picked every grape we could find.
We decided we would make the local sweet wine, Sciacchetrà, made of select, dried grapes. A real delicacy, and my favorite domestic wine from the Cinque Terre region.
The views alone were reason alone to tangle my way through the vines.
We set the 50 kilos of grapes to dry on a metal net and covered them. In six weeks time the dried grapes would be pressed, natural fermentation would take place, the wine would be filtered, and voilà! Ready to be savoured during the Christmas holidays, to compliment a good dessert.
Cheers to the best Sciacchetrà of Cinque Terre!
These days I have much to celebrate. Even simply the path that led me to the city of lights. It's now nearing 3 years since my move to Paris and the start of my blog, which came to life shortly before that. And inevitably I'm soon to be another year older, on July 29th to be exact. Since Leos love to celebrate, and my Italian knows this well, he has planned a surprise birthday adventure. Four days exploring an unknown landscape. Where, I haven't a clue, and I am happy not to know. Soon the adventure begins…
For the rest of our time away, I will be sitting beneath the shade of these umbrellas, on the beaches of Monterosso, staring at the sea. Celebrating all that I am grateful for.
Today marks one year since that day. Our wedding on the sea. It has been a challenging year and certainly a time of growth, strewn with many beautiful moments. Barely can I believe it has passed so quickly... Perhaps foreshadowing on life?
In year two I will try to take more time to stare at the sea, and continue to dream.

Marco Pierre White, the fiery restaurateur, is serving up a storm on P&O Cruises' Ventura
'Dad, Dad, you just missed him! He went down the stairs and he was looking really angry,' a young passenger on P&O Cruises' Ventura ship shouts excitedly at his father who quickly fires back: 'Glad I missed him then!'
Let's be clear. Marco Pierre White, the man who has inspired such sobriquets as the 'Godfather of modern cooking' and, in his younger days, the culinary world's 'enfant terrible', wasn't put on this earth to warm the cockles of your heart with a treacle pudding personality. He has zero interest in impressing you outside of the circular boundaries on your plate - prepared these days not by himself but by chefs under his watchful tutelage - or the stylish confines of his many restaurants.
For P&O Cruises, an association with the likes of Pierre White takes the company's onboard dining proposition to new levels. Putting his name, which has garnered those elusive three Michelin stars, above the door of your restaurants is guaranteed to pull in passengers who want to inject some serious culinary credentials into their holiday meal.
On the flipside, 48-year-old Pierre White is probably the last man on earth you'd think of who'd perform well as the vital cog in a shiny 'grin and tell us how brilliant it is' PR machine, which seems to be an essential ingredient in any modern day cooking contract.
'How was that?' asked the PR nervously after we'd wrapped up the interview. A vis-à-vis with one of the country's most celebrated chefs in a cruise ship setting on a beautiful Friday afternoon really shouldn't be too taxing but I would be lying if I said Pierre White was friendly. He was polite and he answered everything I asked of him, which, given a quick rummage through online cuttings is more than some journalists have emerged with.
Traditionally, few passengers can claim to have walked down the gangplank after a holiday at sea without feeling the pinch of an expanding waistline but that isn't an automatic indicator of the quality of food consumed.
As cruises continue to eat up an increasingly big slice of the UK travel pie - some 1.5million Brits took a holiday at sea last year - the companies behind them are raising their games to try and catch the eye of new customers.
And dining is one of the key areas they're investing in with live cooking stations, specialist gourmet restaurants and a string of celebrity chefs lending their expertise. Alongside Pierre White, Aldo Zilli, Nobuyuki 'Nobu' Matsuhisa and Michel Roux among others are the big names taking part in the cruise ship dining revolution.
Pierre White is passionate about providing a high quality experience
and is aware that there's been something of a sea change in recent years: "I think people's expectations are far
greater today than they were 30 years ago," the Yorkshire-born chef explains.
"People are more well travelled, they're used to eating in better quality restaurants, they dine out more often and therefore when they come on to a ship they are your greatest critic."
Ship's cook: Passengers pay £20 each to eat in Pierre White's restaurant on board P&O Cruise's Ventura.
On board Ventura, the largest ship in P&O Cruises'
fleet, dining is a varied affair with both formal and informal
options available. There's a Spanish tapas restaurant, a pizzeria -
part of jockey Frankie Dettori's chain; East, which serves up
Oriental food and Pierre White's showpiece The White Room.
"I'm a great believer that when people go on holiday, food plays a very large part," Pierre White continues. "If you eat badly whether it's in a resort or on a cruise, it really affects your holiday. You have to give people a sense of occasion."
Passengers pay a £20 per person supplement to eat at The White Room and the boarding guests I spoke to seemed to love the idea of having a fine dining option straight out of London's Mayfair at their disposal.
'"One of the reasons we booked was because we heard Marco was on board," one passenger told me. "We enjoy our food and I think the (quality of) food they supply is very important."
The service, from my few hours on Ventura seemed efficient, friendly, knowledgeable...exactly as you'd expect from any top class restaurant.
So has Pierre White taken to the seas himself outside of the constraints of his business? He glares at me with that familiar intensity and states that his work is a '365 days-a-year' vocation (I don't for a moment doubt it) but adds that he brought his children on Ventura last year and 'they thought it was the best holiday they've ever had because they liked the fact that they woke up somewhere different every day.'
More than a year in and P&O Cruises seem very happy with their man, the passengers - of course the most important element - are smiling and Mr Pierre White himself, though showing no signs of softening up as he approaches middle age, is clearly committed to making his cruise ship experience a sail away success.

March EMTC! + 6 Entries! + 1 week left!Did this once already, but stash lost all the new stuff I added. To recap, I have been uber busy with moving, losing net, unpacking, and being locked from my account. There are some amazing prizes. Thank you for the votes for Best Group.
So this month, fingers crossed , my job is going to be getting all of my stuff moved into our new house, organizing and putting stuff away, and just learning to deal with two to three times as much space as I have ever had since being married. With no pay. But whatevs. I have decided, to help keep me distracted from this very adult task, I want to see emotes doing jobs that are much cooler than mine. Perhaps your emote will work in a office....or make video games. Or maybe he/she is in a video game, with a really cool job class....like ranger...or vampire ...or something. The options are pretty numerous. Amuse and distr

And take a look at this:
Emoticon Gallery Makeover DiscussionGallery Makeover Project
The focus of this journal is to provide a discussion platform about the Gallery Makeover Project for the emote community. This is not the official journal for the emote community, but in the absence of one, does allow us to talk about possible changes. All thoughts and opinions will then be available for the the official Gallery Makeover team to hear the community's views and make final decisions.
Before we dive into the list of suggestions we have so far, I want to give a brief explanation of the project's aims. The main purpose is to simplify the gallery structure by removing and merging categories that are no longer used by the community. It also includes also renaming categories to help reduce confusion and make the whole submission process easier for all.

I was responsible for designing festival programme which was a part of Przemiany Festival 2012 identity. It included map of events along with their descriptions, timetable and festival's key visual.
Przemiany Festival focuses on people living in a city which is developing in a dynamic way, people who both observe and initiate constant changes happening in culture. Transformations are permanent elements of our daily lives and the artistic events of the festival will make it easier for us to get used to them.
The city, localness, neighbourhood, human communication, mutual and forever changing relations between people – these are the main themes of Przemiany. We will share the festival with the surroundings from which Przemiany grew out of: Powiśle and its inhabitants, local organizations and social initiatives.
The identity of Przemiany Festival was created at Super Super in the team of Hanna Kokczyńska, Jacek Majewski, Jan Dudzik, Bartosz Szymkiewicz, Natalia Kotkowska, Paweł Eibel (photo)
