so I thought I'd give Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise a try on my Homeserver (yes, it's legit... got it from msdnaa). First thing to throw at it was my firewall which runs IPFire. This distribution currently uses the kernel version 188.8.131.52 and comes with the Hyper-V drivers.
So I enabled them and at first they work just fine but after a few minutes they just fail. There are no packages going in or out anymore until I reboot the VM but sometimes even that won't work so the VM just keeps "Stopping" like forever.
Emulated networking works fine but it slow and uses more CPU. That way my firewall routes slower than when running under virtualbox on an atom N270. My server has an E6750; VM is limited to 25%, but that should still outperform this atom CPU especially since it's never going anywhere near 100% CPU load, so give me a break!
A quick google search led me to people having the same problem (even with other distributions and kernel versions that include those drivers) but no solution yet...
I already found this but I can't quite follow the author on the part where he solved the issue - especially since I need two virtual nics for my firewall distro to work (obviously one internal and one external)
What am I missing here?

We had an Ocean view suite for seven nights and it was great! The hotel is older and in desperate need of updating, but it was extremely clean.
The public areas were in great repair, but the bathroom fixtures, bathrooms themselves, and the pool could all use to be refurbished.
The staff was very friendly, and there were people cleaning various areas of the hotel 24/7. They had a nice section of beach just beyond the pool and a snack bar on the patio by the pool (limited hours).
The Hilton Garden next door has a full service restaurant and Claytons Beach Bar is also right next door. They had fireworks over the beach on Friday and Saturday nights right up until the end of October.
When you consider seven nights in a two queen bed (and sleep sofa) suite with a full Ocean view, and a full hot breakfast included every morning for $500 total, I think this was a very good value (especially for a family).
The included breakfast had scrambled eggs alone or with various meats (sausage, ham, and chorizo), potatoes, waffles, fresh fruit, cereals, bagels, muffins, etc… The meal alone can save a family quite a bit over the course of a week. The food was always fresh and the serving/dining areas very clean.
I would recommend this hotel and will probably stay here again in the future.

A brief, twenty-minute shot of moderate to heavy snow made for an interesting morning commute for people in Teller and El Paso counties. This quick shot of snow and wind briefly reduced visibility and created slick spots, slowing travel.
This fast blast of snow was followed by increasing sunshine and gusty winds. In fact, winds could gust in excess of 50 mph this evening, especially from Pueblo on southward. While it will be cool Tuesday, the combination of strong winds and dry conditions will lead to high fire danger once again. Hard to believe, considering some areas started the day with snow!
Strong winds will die down after sunset.

Louis Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne's son from his first marriage, has signed a six mix-album deal with Strictly Rhythm Records in the U.S.The 26-year-old deep house/techno DJ from Birmingham, England is expected to release his first album for the label sometime next year. When recently asked what his Dad thinks about what he does for a living, Louis responded, "My old man doesn't like dance music, but he once said to me he appreciates that it would probably sound great if you were loaded!!" Osbourne, who has travelled the world extensively in the last couple of years, spreading his message of quality, underground dance music, says that the "huge amount of publicity about my family this year … has had a knock-on effect with me." However, the media attention hasn't been all positive since family TV show "The Osbournes" became a huge MTV hit. "The repercussions [from 'The Osbournes'' success] have been a little intrusive," Louis revealed. "Tabloid papers knocking on the door every day, trying to dig dirt on the family. The funny thing is, there isn't any dirt that hasn't already been printed. What else could they print about my old man that could be worse than previous well-documented incidents? Fuck all!"

The Cherokee and Lighttpd alternative web servers
Apache has ruled the web since the mid-90s, but not all users are happy with it. Recent competitors Cherokee and Lighttpd offer an uncomplicated alternative for users who are looking for something light.
Apache is so predominant among Unix-style web servers that most people wouldn't dream of looking for alternatives. On the other hand, the Apache server carries much ballast, some of which dates back to its previous life as the NCSA-HTTPD. For example, the Apache developers kept the multi-process model with a fixed number of pre-launched server instances until version 2. Now there is a variant that uses multiple threads to process requests; then again, this new construction has added to the existing codebase, which can lead to inefficiencies. In this article, I examine a pair of promising Apache alternatives.

State Plans Anger Unions
Proposed Curbs on Bargaining Rights Threaten Membership, Labor Leaders Say
MADISON, Wis.—Union leaders say overhauls of rules for public- and private-sector unions being considered in Wisconsin, Ohio and about a dozen other states threaten to accelerate the decline in membership nationwide and hurt organized labor's finances and political clout.
On Monday, presidents of more than a dozen of the nation's biggest unions met to strategize, and pledged more than $25 million to counter efforts to scale back bargaining rights that in many cases would give employees the option of not belonging to a union or paying dues, according to a union official familiar with the matter.
Proposals in Wisconsin and other states have "great ramifications" beyond the damage to union coffers and membership, said Gerald McEntee, president of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the nation's biggest public-sector union.
Unions have told the Obama administration that the state fights could affect the 2012 presidential election by draining unions' political resources, especially in states like Wisconsin and Ohio. "I think it can put him in some [political] danger," Mr. McEntee said of the president.
Unions spent more than $400 million in 2008 to help elect President Barack Obama and other Democrats, with public-sector unions such as AFSCME among the biggest contributors.
A number of governors in both parties are pushing to change union rules in the face of massive budget deficits driven in part by large pension obligations. Sentiment toward public-sector unions has soured amid cuts in state services, anger over taxes and growing concern over states' financial burdens.
Additionally, some labor experts say the economic hardships facing states are also providing an opportunity for governors and lawmakers to weaken public-sector unions that have exerted growing political influence in recent years. Even as union membership overall has dropped nationally, it has risen in the public sector. That has made the sector far more heavily unionized than the bigger private sector, and made government workers now the largest single share of workers belonging to unions.
Thus, new curbs aimed at public sector-workers could, besides reducing the number of total unionized workers, ripple across the whole work force, labor leaders say.
A downward spiral in membership would weaken unions' political influence, particularly in key states such as Ohio and Wisconsin, according to some labor-movement observers.
"It could cripple the Democratic Party in 2012," said Nelson Lichtenstein, director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Labor Pains
States' proposals add to pressure on union membership.
In Wisconsin, lawmakers could vote as early as Thursday to take away most bargaining rights for about 170,000 public-sector workers. The proposal from Republican Gov. Scott Walker would limit collective bargaining for most state and local government employees to issues of wages, and exclude pensions and health care. It would also require government workers, who currently contribute little or nothing to their pensions, to contribute 5.8% of their pay to pensions, and pay at least 12.6% of health care premiums, up from an average of 6%.
Mr. Walker said in an interview Tuesday that eliminating most bargaining rights would give local governments more flexibility to maintain jobs and services while finding ways to cut spending. "We're giving these people the tools to balance budgets without laying people off," he said.
He said 5,500 state jobs and 5,000 local jobs would be saved under his plan, which would save $30 million in the current budget and $300 million in the two-year budget that begins July 1. Wisconsin faces a $137 million shortfall in the current budget that ends June 30.
In Ohio, lawmakers are holding hearings this week to limit bargaining rights for about 400,000 public employees under Republican Gov. John Kasich's plan.
More than a dozen other states are considering so-called right-to-work proposals that would give private-sector workers the option of not belonging to a union or paying dues even if the union bargains with an employer on their behalf. Virginia is already a right-to-work state, but there is an effort to put that provision in the state constitution. In Michigan, an initiative has been filed that would eliminate state employee collective bargaining.
Roughly 5,000 union members from around the state converged on Madison, Wisconsin's capital, on Tuesday, carrying signs and chanting "Kill the Bill."
Ed Lawlor, a 52-year-old elementary-school teacher from Kenosha, grew angry as he spoke about what he called Gov. Walker's "power grab."
"If this goes through you're going to see this played out across the country. This needs to stop right here," he said.
Republican state senator Pam Galloway, who defeated a 20-year incumbent Democrat in November, said union supporters protested outside her home on Sunday, shouting "Galloway, Vote Our Way." But she said she still planned to vote for the governor's proposals.
"We were elected to help the taxpayer, and that is what we will accomplish by voting for this bill," she said.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Scientists have demonstrated that recombinant versions of a cell's own vault nanocapsules can be used deliver the chemokine CCL21 as an approach to triggering immune system responses against lung cancer. Studies by a team of researchers at multiple University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) departments and institutes showed that treating lung cancer in mice using CCL21-loaded vault nanocapsules significantly reduced tumor size and burden.
Results from the team's murine lung cancer studies are published in PLoS One in a paper titled "Novel CCL21-Vault Nanocapsule Intratumoral Delivery Inhibits Lung Cancer Growth."
"In animals, the vault nanoparticles have proven to be as effective, if not more effective, than the dendritic cell approach," states Leonard Rome, Ph.D., of the Jonsson Cancer Center and associate director of the California NanoSystems Institute. "Now we need to get the vault therapy approved by the FDA for use in humans." Dr. Rome and his team hope to initiate human trials within the next three years.
The UCLA research is founded on promising data from an early clinical trial in which dendritic cells were engineered to over-secrete CCL21 and then directly injected into lung tumors. While the NCI-funded study has shown that this approach boosts the immune system's attack on tumors, the process of generating engineered dendritic cells from individual patients has variable success and is time-consuming and expensive, reports trial investigator Stephen M. Dubinett, M.D., director of the lung cancer program at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and a member of California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA.
As an alternative delivery approach, the researchers, led by Dr. Dubinett and Dr. Rome, hit on the concept of using vault nanocapsules to deliver CCL21 directly into tumor cells. Vaults are cytoplasmic ubiquitous ribonucleoprotein particles that are highly stable in vitro, nonimmunogenic, and could potentially represent a flexible therapeutic delivery vehicle, Dr. Dubinett and colleagues report.
Engineered in the baculovirus system, the particle self-assembles from a single expressed protein that can be modified to allow cell targeting, cell-specific endocytosis, and endosome penetration. Proteins and peptides fused to a vault-targeting domain are packaged in the particle, protected from the external environment, and released slowly at the target site.
To evaluate the potential to use vaults as a vehicle for CCL21 against cancer, the authors packaged CCL21 into recombinant vaults and first confirmed that the resulting structures were biologically active using a chemotaxis assay. They were able to show that CCL21 retained its biological function when packaged in the recombinant vaults and that it induced the migration of T cells and dendritic cells.
When they then administered CCL21-loaded vaults directly into lung cancer tumors in mice, the animals demonstrated enhanced intratumoral leukocyte infiltrates comprising predominantly CD3-expressing T cells. Critically, the treatment led to significant decreases in tumor growth and reduced tumor burden by sevenfold compared to control animals, the researchers report.
Further evaluation confirmed that the CCL21-loaded vaults induced systemic antitumor immune activity, as splenic T 10 cells taken from the treated mice demonstrated augmented lytic activity against parental tumor cells in vitro.
"This is the first study to describe that vault nanocapsules can be engineered to package and retain biologically active CCL21," the authors note. "We anticipate that the use of vault nanoparticles will circumvent autologous dendritic cell preparation, minimize batch to batch variability, and allow for comparability and standardization."

Hornets, Magic agree to trade
Published: Monday, July 9, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 9, 2012 at 11:19 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Orlando has agreed to a sign-and-trade deal, sending restricted free agent forward Ryan Anderson to New Orleans for forward Gustavo Ayon, a person familiar with the agreement said.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the NBA's trade moratorium prevents clubs from announcing such moves before July 11.
The 6-foot-10 Anderson is entering his fifth NBA season out of California. He started 61 games for Orlando last season, averaging 16.1 points and 7.7 rebounds.
Ayon, also 6-10, spent his rookie NBA season in New Orleans last year after playing in Spain's top pro league. The 27-year-old Mexican started 24 games for the Hornets, averaging 5.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 20.1 minutes.
Anderson has exceptional shooting range, giving him the versatility to also play on the wing.
He led the NBA with 3-pointers made (166) and attempted (422) last season. He shot just above 39 percent from beyond the arc, which ranked 27th in the league.
The Hornets will have to figure out where Anderson fits best in a lineup that also will include top overall draft choice Anthony Davis. Davis is tall enough at nearly 6-11 to play center, but likely will have to begin his career playing mostly at power forward because he lacks the bulk to match up against some of the NBA's top big men such as Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum.
In Ayon, Orlando acquires a quick, strong and hustling frontcourt player whose court awareness drew praise from Hornets coaches. Ayon shot 54 percent last season with highs of 16 points (twice) and 17 rebounds, showing the potential to be a solid player if he can produce more consistently.

In this revealing documentary about the legendary musician we see vintage filmed performance clips of Jascha Heifetz and learn that he was the first truly modern violin virtuoso, the man about whom Itzhak Perlman said, "When I spoke with him, I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking with God'." This insightful film portrays an artist for whom only perfection would do, a musical wunderkind who went on to set the standards for nearly a century. We get to know Jascha Heifetz through home movies and personal family photos taken from 1903-1987, a prestigious concert artist so well known in popular culture, his name became shorthand for greatness, for everyone from Jack Benny to The Muppets to Woody Allen. This unique program includes interviews with the great violinists of his generation, and from many of his former students, telling how Heifetz was a legendary but mysterious figure whose story embodies the dual nature of artistic genius: the paradox of how a mortal man lives with immortal gifts - gifts he must honor, but which extract a life long price.

An informative if uninvigorating look at the violinist Itzhak Perlman calls "the first true modern virtuoso player," Peter Rosen's God's Fiddler: Jascha Heifetz will draw only the most ardent classical fans to its niche theatrical run but should please a wider audience after making its way to educational TV.
Once Heifetz becomes a household name, Rosen struggles mightily to milk drama not from his musical genius, but from his relatively unremarkable personal life.
His lightning-fast fingers can't fail to impress even those unschooled in the classical idiom, but when not center stage, Heifetz proves a far more elusive figure, firmly out of the grasp of Rosen's film.
If the film were in fact a pastry, it might look like the first effort of a blind baker, wildly uneven and inconsistent in ingredient distribution.
The film, though generous with doses of Heifetz in performance, isn't entirely successful at illuminating the man.
While some documentaries are broad enough in theme and creative enough in style to attract a wide-ranging audience, others remain best-suited to a smaller group of devotees. Such is the case for Peter Rosen's biography of violinist Jascha Heifetz.

West Countrie
(CHILD 79, The Wife of Usher's Well)
There was a lday lived in the west counterie,
And children she had three;
She sent them away to the north counterie
For to learn their grammarie.
They hadn't been gone but a very small while,
Scarcelie twelve months and a day,
Till Death, oh Death spread over the land
And swept those babes away.
"Is there no king in heaven," she cried,
"That used to wear a crown?
Pray send me home my three little babes
For tonight or in the morning soon!"
It being nearly at Christmas-times,
The nights so long and cold;
She seen, oh, seen her three little babes
Come running home early in the morning soon.
She set the table right before them,
And spread it with bread and wine,
Says, "Come, oh, come, my three little babes.
Come eat and drink of mine."
"We can't eat none of your bread, Mother,
Nor drink none of your wine;
For just before the break of day
Our Savior we must jine."
She made the beds in the backside room,
And spread them with clean sheets;
And on the top spread a golden cloth,
For to make a better sleep.
"Rise you up, rise you up," says the oldest one;
"Rise you up, rise you up," says he;
"For yander stands our Savior dear,
And him we must obey."
"Green grass grows at our head, Mother;
Cold clods lie at our feet.
The tears you shed for us, Mother,
Would 'a' wet our winding sheets."

Love this place! The GF pizza is the best we've found in Greenville. Their gluten-free menu even includes a chocolate torte dessert.
Best GF bread ever!!
Great pizza, even husband who isn't GF really liked the pizza. We did half meat and half Hawaiian. Loved that they let us do half and half.
After being gluten free for 5 years. I think I could eat here everyday. They have GF pizza, calzones and theirs GF subs are delicious. I haven't tried the spaghetti yet but I will. I so glad I found this on the app My husband doesn't have celiac and chooses to eat the GF calzone if that tells you how good it is.
Outstanding Gluten free pizza. I have been GF for years and really struggle to find great pizza. Found Boston Pizzeria on this app and tried it. Very Happy!!
Great pizza crust!!!!
This is my number one go to place any time I want pizza. They have an excellent gf dough that is close to "normal hand tossed" dough. They can also do gf calzones and one desert choice.
My celiac daughter loved her gluten free pizza. Very good selections for non-gluten free diners too.
GF Pizza tasted great. They assured us it was prepared separate from the regular pizza.
One of the better gluten free pizza's I eaten out..Try it white with spinach, mushrooms and bacon, excellent. They serve Schar's gluten free pasta, the next visit I ordered the G/F pasta done with oil/garlic , spinach and bacon..very good...A special surprise, they serve gluten free bread with your salad.
This was an awesome place! The gluten free pizza was the best pizza I have ever had!

Hi everyone,
I'm setting up my 1st WP website. For the mobile version I have installed WP touch. I already updated the plugin with the Dutch language, but to make it complete I'd also like to change the date notation in my posts to Dutch style. Now it's in US style: 11/01/2012 for today, in Holland we use 01/11/2012. Does anybody know know where and how I can force WP touch to use this date notation?

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – Sixteen years after escaping from a Texas prison, Juan Salaz's luck finally ran out.
The 37-year-old was arrested in Mexico last week and is awaiting extradition to the United States, the Associated Press reported.
Salaz was serving a 35-year sentence on charges of kidnapping and attempting to kill a police officer when he escaped from the Garza East prison in Beeville in South Texas in 1997.
He climbed over three 16-foot fences topped with razor wire and headed south across the border to a new life in Mexico, The Houston Chronicle reported.
"Salaz thought that he had eluded authorities by starting a new life in Mexico. He was wrong," Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inspector General Bruce Toney was quoted by My Fox Austin as saying.
"This should be a reminder to those who think they can out run justice. We will never stop looking for you."
Salaz will face a felony escape charge, which will probably extend his time behind bars.

[Biographies of P.L. Travers]
Title: Out of the Sky She Came: The Life of P.L. Travers, creator of Mary Poppins
Author: Valerie Lawson
Publication Date: 1999
Publisher: Sydney: Belladonna Books
MARC Record
Australian-born Helen Lyndon Goff (best known as P.L. Travers) was made famous by her children's books about the infamous nanny, Mary Poppins. This biography takes you through Travers' life (from 1899-1996) as a poet, journalist, actress and author. Accompanied by a detailed index of her published works, along with photographs and notes on sources, the book discusses P.L. Travers' impact on her audience, compares interpretations of her works, and describes her fascinating life.
Title: Mary Poppins, She Wrote: The Life of P.L. Travers
Author: Valerie Lawson
Publication Date: 2006
Publisher: New York: Simon & Schuster
MARC Record
Lawson's biography of P.L. Travers, author of the Mary Poppins series, takes a dark tone as she laments over the tragic and negatively inspiring moments of Travers' life. The character of Mary Poppins is dissected and the personality and traits of the character are defined by the death of Travers' father, her time spent with an aging aunt, her distrust of men and American men specifically, and the difficult relationship she had with her adopted son. Instances of Travers' life, such as negotiations with Disney, the rules for future use of Mary Poppins written in her will, and her retreat into isolation are described and justified by Lawson.
Title: A Lively Oracle: A Centennial Celebration of P.L. Travers, Creator of Mary Poppins
Author: E.D. Draper
Publication Date: 1999
Publisher: Burdett, NY: National Book Network
MARC Record
Unlike the P.L. Travers defined by her life's tragedies and complications, this collection of essays and interviews about and with the Mary Poppins' author, shows the author as a pilgrim searching for deeper meaning in her life. Influenced by the occult, mysticism, religion and poetry, Travers kept many details of her life private but her friends and former colleagues shed an illuminating light on the woman that Travers was. Among the notable contributors are Draper, former edited of Travers-founded Parabola magazine, Koralek, an author and friend, Martha Heyneman, Jonathan Cott and Sir Laurens Van der Post..

4. Maximize Natural Lighting
In addition to illuminating a space, daylight has strong psychological benefits for everyone, especially people that are unable to travel outside the home easily. Bringing daylight in can be as simple as adding a window or traditional skylight, or as complex as a Solatube daylighting system, which captures sunlight on the rooftop and redirects it down a reflective tube into interior spaces.

leave you opinionnah,i dont think its worth it. (my opinion anyway lol)
do you have a phone already? You can save up and buy it if you like,but there are better phones out and/or coming out that i know are much better. If you have never had a phone before,this may be a good starter :) But its quite hard to type on. it is quite boring after a while too. But thats just what i think. do what you want,its not to expensive and its still quite good.
i want to save up for this phone
should i or should i not
leave you opinion
Eh,its ok. I like the touch screen and everything but its just easy to get bored of. Still a cool fone =D
looks good but not enough features and the screen doesn't work properly on mine.
uhm, my mom bought me this phone but i havent seen it and i dont know the features.im looking for a good phone, i hope this one will be what ive been looking for...can you please post more pictures of this phone?thanks. =)
i know that my mum has bought me this phone for christmas but looking at some of the reviews and nt sure if it is any good? can sum1 plz post a proper review about it so i know :)
Well. What should i say.Erm, i dont want to be offensive in any way, but THIS PHONE SUCKS. Ive used this phone for a couple of months now,and i must say,when i bought it..I thought it was extremely good for its cheap price.Um,i thought wrong. Haha it was a good phone for a while,but its quite dull. Its very simple,not that attractive,no way to change the menu backround or anything. And it doesnt do much. Yes i guess it was fun while i used it at first.But you always think the phone is amazing when its new. It freezes alot and it obviously doesnt even compare to the new phones coming out these days. I do like the touch screen but sometimes i have to use my nails to click on icons etc. Its just too simple for me,easy to get bored of. Um the photos it takes are also poor. It was expected for only two megapixels,anyway. And calling people was a nightmare. Yes, i guess it would be a good phone for some people. Maybe i just got a bad one out of the other 100 phones the store was selling. Or maybe im just fussy. Either way,it could be just a poor phone. I should suggest that anyone should find another phone to buy instead of this,but its up to you,not me. As i said. I could be just fussy. Haha, well i hope you have a nice day.

Britain's Favourite Chinese Dishes
It's time to celebrate the wonder that is the Chinese takeaway! As a huge fan of Chinese takeaway myself, I decided to delve into the hungryhouse order data to discover which are the most popular Chinese dishes in Britain. There's probably few surprises in our top five but there's good reason why each of these dishes have come to be enduring takeaway classics.
PS Looking to order a Chinese takeaway? Just pop your postcode into our homepage and you can be enjoying a hot Chinese feast delivered straight to your door!
The Five Most Popular Chinese Takeaway Dishes in the UK
Chow Mein
Legend has it that Chow Mein was originally made from a load of leftovers, but in the last century the mouthwatering dish has become the premier Chinese takeaway treat on both sides of the Atlantic. Stir fried with fresh spring onions and delicious soy, it's gorgeous and satisfying when packed full of chicken, beef, prawns or sweet and succulent char siu roast pork. Chow mein is ideal as a side dish to share alongside a saucy main, or as a main course that's strictly not for sharing.
Crispy aromatic duck
Pretty much a guaranteed dish on every Chinese food menu in Britain, crispy aromatic duck is derived from Peking duck and has come to represent the fusion of British tastes and Chinese cuisine. It's deep-fried deliciousness combined with that perfect spicy marinade means it's consistently one of the most ordered Chinese dishes throughout the UK. Served over soft pancakes with smoky hoi sin, crispy aromatic duck is perfect for when you're wanting to class up a chilled night in.
Egg Fried Rice
Hearty egg fried rice is the prefect side dish to accompany many of Britain's favourite Chinese main courses, from sweet and sour to succulent beef in black bean sauce. Stir fried to perfection with soy and Chinese spices, the rice is irresistibly tasty, while the egg has a gorgeous scrambled texture having been hurled straight into the hot wok during preparation.
Sweet and Sour
Whether it be with chicken, pork or king prawn that's been lovingly battered, fried and sauced with that wondrous concoction known as sweet and sour sauce, this dish is a takeaway treat that's tangy, fresh and satisfying, especially when jam packed with tasty treats like cheery tomatoes, peppers and pineapple chunks. Best served on a fresh bed of fried rice with a generous dollop of dark soy sauce,
Spring rolls
Last but not least, there's the eternally popular spring rolls. Let's not kid ourselves, the greasier these bad boys are, the better! Technically Chinese spring rolls are filled with cabbage and various other vegetables but to be honest, I'm all about the fried rice paper dipped in soy sauce. A better starter to any Asian meal, I've yet to find!

Thanks to the coldest Minnesota winter in 30 years, even those students wariest of dreaded "hat hair" have been forced to don headgear—or risk losing their ears to frostbite.
In typical Macalester fashion, though, they aren't sporting just any old ski caps. Oh no. Our creative winter-wearers are topped by memorable chapeaus—braided and monkey-faced, cheerfully colored with Mac oranges and blues, baggy tammed and elegantly [fake] furred.
Often scarves meet hats in such a way we can barely spot the person inside. Yet we hold onto this: As surely as spring follows winter, our students will emerge from their wool and fleece cocoons—just about in time for graduation.

Developers are probably the most "functional" graphic designers out there – awful page layout is par for the course. Introducing colour into the mix of design elements simply proves too hard for most of us so the majority of developer designed web sites suffer.
It's seems to me like the developer has dabbled with colour for about an hour and then moved onto the TOC hierarchical web part writing their own hashing algorithm – much more fun! I thought you may like a quick refresher in colour schemes and the colour centric elements of web page design kindly provided by the FrontPage Office assistance centre. Well worth the time.

The link to my blog:
How do I make the whole post show up, instead of several posts with a few lines?
If you look at your theme files, content.php, on line #32, you'll see:
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
you can change that to
<?php the_content(); ?>
Now if you do this and there's a theme update you'll lose your changes, so it would be best to make a child theme.
Thank you Christine,
this solution worked very well to get the main picture with each blog post to show up on the main page. However is there a way to still only have an excerpt but still have the picture show up?
I am wondering the same thing.
Christine, I tried the above suggestion, and now my blog is showing full posts on the front page, but when the link to that post is clicked, the sidebar still shows up.
Can I remove sidebars from invidiual posts, and keep it on the main page?
Thanks for your help!!

Fan-Favorite Finalists: Who's Your Pick?by Maria Russo in Community, Food Network Star, June 11, 2015
Not only was Sunday's episode all about each finalist's first chance to impress the Selection Committee, but it was also their first opportunity to wow, you, the fans, who are watching the journey unfold. From their initial struts into Food Star Kitchen to their final moments at evaluation, the premiere allowed you to see the competitors as they are under pressure — both at the stove and away from it — and learn a bit more about their all-important culinary POVs.
Each week it's up to you fans to decide which of the rivals is your favorite and who you think is worthy of topping the fan vote. As it stands right now post-premiere, Christina, the finalist who faced week 1 elimination, is holding the lead with 20 percent of the votes, while Matthew and Emilia, both of whom had only OK showings on Sunday, are following closely behind with 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

Since its original casting in England in 1751, the Liberty Bell has survived a precarious journey on the road to becoming a symbol of the American identity. This work reveals how and why this voiceless bell continues to speak such volumes about our nation. It also analyzes the biblical passage from "Leviticus" that provided the bell's inscription.

2008 Subaru Tribeca SUV Limited 5-Pass 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
I bought the vehicle used 1 yr ago.I discovered the oil burns very very fast.I put 4 qts of oil in the vehicle and two weeks later the dip stick was completely empty.Tires Plus informed I need to take the vehicle to the dealership due to the oil is buring entirely too fast and could cause issues to the engine.I am also experiencing issues with frequent headlight bulb outage.I replaced both left and right headlights twice over the last 4 months.Now both high beams are out and the fog lights are out.the light in the trunk is out.It flickers from time to time.I have to constantly check my oil weekly to ensure it isn't bone dry.Thread on leather seats are coming apart.
Love the sunroof
A better engine
When the lease was up on our bmx x5, we chose the tribeca. The monthly bill was way less, a little over half of what we were paying for the BMW. All in all, we've been happy with this car. The small gas tank is a bit of a drag. The gas mileage isn't great. But from what I hear, it isn't terribly out of range for a comparable car. Would love a split rear hatch. The door is heavy and hard to pull down with one hand. I've gotten stronger, though. There's a bit of a leap when you first touch the gas pedal. Our lease is up in March, and I think we'll buy this car.
This car has had five sensor issues since I bought it one year ago. One was a Transmission issue and the others were oxygen or other sensors. The small gas tank on this car is a bit of a pain because you have to fill it often. Otherwise, the car has a good layout and a stylish look. It drives smooth and has good pick up. I want to like this SUV, but it's obviously an inconvenience to have to keep going back to service to diagnose and replace sensors every other month. I was surprised at this - Subaru is usually known for reliability. Not sure whether I will hold on to this one or not.
Size, Look, Layout.
Fix sensor issues. Get a better radio - one that actually scrolls the artist and song title along with the station.
This car has more than enough power. Handles well under all weather conditions.
side mirrors, dual climate control, all wheel drive in the snow can't be beat.
Larger gas tank, express up/down on both front windows and My long legged husband could use a telescoping steering wheel. He also suggests a memory for the mirrors, not just the seats.
I have been driving for 50 years and consider myself knowledgeable when it come to vehicles and this one is raising eyebrows where ever we go people ask me questions, the dash excites everyone also the engine when I explain flat six people say how come they have never heard about it, which is subaru's poor advertising.Take my advice just go see for yourself
Driving on long trips I find I am not as tired, strange I know but its true, sound system very good nice and clear, heated seat for my spouse
Fuel economy, extra gear in tranny

UPDATE: Goldman Sachs Reiterates Buy Rating, Raises PT on Amazon.com
In a report published Wednesday, Goldman Sachs reiterated its Buy rating on Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), and raised its price target from $315.00 to $330.00.
Goldman Sachs noted, "Amazon reported 4Q revenues of $21,268mn (+22.0% yoy vs. 26.9% in 3Q), just below the mid-point of guidance and GAAP EPS of $0.21 versus our estimates $0.32, though GAAP EPS would have been $0.40 were it not for a higher tax rate. Adjusted CSOI margin was 3.2% versus our forecast of 2.5%. While the slower rate of growth in paid units sold and NA EGM revenues are areas to watch, the improvement in margins and the potential that 2012 marked the low point for the current margin cycle outweighs that concern. With user growth, the potential in AWS, and the long term margin opportunity across all segments, we continue to believe Amazon remains one of the strongest secular growth stories in the space."
Amazon.com closed on Tuesday at $260.35.

Anyone see the mean spirited article about private prisons and CCA in particular in the July/August ATLANTIC MONTHLY? Some phrases: Apathy in the behavior of the prison guards; (re amenities) the shareholders of CCA cooly calculating that feeding and entertaining the human animal ........is an affordable, less costly, way to keep a prisoner quiet and tame.; bodies are fed , but morally beaten; souls are suspended and lost in the bright shadows of these sweetish dungeons; snuffing of human light, residual subhumanity, fundamentally, the completion of the........exclusion...in this programmed indifference...to its delinquents and monsters in its most complete form. No mention of all the awards CCA receives for its rehab programs, educational accomplishments and its low recidivism rates.
Good post, OG. The author could substitute "general public" for 'CCA stockholders' and "government-run institutions" for 'private prisons' and make the same anti-incarceration observations.

Religion Re: Dan's Internal Monologue and His Islamophobia Series
posted by August 14 at 15:40 PMon
Dan and I have disagreed before on Slog about how, as Westerners, we should process some of the outrageous things that some Muslims do.
I'm a bit nervous about getting back into that debate, but Dan tells me to go for it, so here goes.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding his new "I Would Have an Easier Time Avoiding Feelings of Islamophobia" series here on Slog, but I think his point is this: If Muslims want people like Dan to stop feeling phobic about Islam, then they should put a halt to attacks on feminist writers in India, stonings of gay men in Nigeria, and the like.
The onus, in other words, is on the Muslims of the world (about one billion people and counting) to police their most barbaric members, and if non-Muslim people in the West find it hard not to hold all Muslims guilty by association for attacks on feminist writers in India and threatened stonings of gay men in Nigeria, then that's the problem of the world's Mulsims, not the problem of non-Muslim people in the West.
It's an argument that's been made often since 9/11, when the West started taking a somewhat more serious look at its troubled relationship with the Muslim world. It's also an argument that carries with it the perils of collective blameblindness to the diversity of the other being the biggest peril, followed by its attandant consequences. (We see an example of these consequences in, for example, the ease with which Americans were confused about which of the bad Muslims attacked us on 9/11.)
I bring all of this up to point out that Dan seems to be opposed to this type of collective blaming when it comes to gay people. When reading today about a teacher in Tacoma who had an inappropriate relationship with a student, his first reaction was:
Oh. My. God. Please, please, please dont let this teacher be a gay guy.
Why? Fear of collective guilt and its consequences for gay people. It turns out the teacher wasn't a gay guy, but if it had been...
But if it had been a gay guy that raped that ten year-old, all the usual anti-gay suspectsPat Robertson, Rev. Hutcherson, the Concerned Women for America, et allwould be screaming about how this incident proves that gay people are a danger to children. The responsibility for a crime is collective and the incident is instructive when a gay person commits it; responsibility is individual and theres nothing instructive about it when a straight person commits the same crime.
It's not hard to imagine a news article that would prompt a "Please don't let this person be a Muslim" reaction from a moderate Muslim reader, and it's not hard to imagine a moderate Muslim lodging the same complaint about Westerners who find Islamophobia hard to avoid:
The responsibility for a crime is collective and the incident is instructive when a Muslim person commits it; responsibility is individual and theres nothing instructive about it when a non-Mulsim person commits the same crime.
I'm not excusing the stoning of gay men in Nigeria, and I'm not excusing attacks on feminist writers in India. Both are outrageous violations of human rights. I'm also not saying that it's easy to find as many incidences of, say, stoning attacks on gays perpetrated by non-Muslims as it is to find instances of stoning attacks on gays perpetrated by Muslims. There is currently an imbalance of violent affronts to human dignity in the world, and it tilts against those parts of the world run by Muslim governments.
Which is not to say that there aren't Christians in America who would like to see gays stoned to death (there are), or Jews in Israel that gather each year to throw stones at the Israeli gay pride parade (they do), or fundamentalists of different stripes in locations all over the planet doing unjustifiable violence to minority groups (there are).
The point is that in those cases, we tend to see the violence as aberrantin need of correction and condemnation, yes, especially from members of the larger group in whose name the violence is done, but still aberrant and not deserving of a phobia of all members of the larger group. And, to return to the news story from today, when there's even a possibility that a gay person might have committed a crime against a child, the immediate wish among gays is that it be seen as aberrant (paired with a fear that it won't be seen that way, and will instead be used to stoke homophobiafear of all gays).
In those other instances, then, the onus is placed on the person feeling the fear or revulsion (Pat Robertson looking at a report of a sex crime by a gay person, say, or American gays looking at the stone-throwing at Israel's gay pride parade). The onus is on the person feeling the phobia to make the proper distinction between individuals and the larger group, and to cast appropriate (meaning different) measures of blame on each.
If we like that sort of distinction-making when it comes to gays vs. gay criminals, and Pat Robertson vs. all of Christianity, and fundamentalist Jews vs. all Jews, then I think it's inconsistent to say that when some Muslims do bad things, the onus is on all Muslims to prevent Westerners from finding all Mulsims guilty by association (and thus becoming scared of them).
If we're being consistent, then the onus for making the distinction between some Muslims and other Muslims, and for avoiding sweeping phobias, should be on us.

Bell Super MTB Helmet - Closeout!Constructed for enduro racers, epic riders and trail enthusiasts, the Bell Super combines gravity and cross-country technologies to create the ideal all-mountain helmet. Lower rear coverage puts more protection at the back of the head. 25 channeled openings, plus Velocity Flow overbrow ports effectively circulate air for dry comfort. Integrated camera mount delivers solid performance while capturing your ride and innovative eyewear/goggle management system makes it easy to see what's ahead. SpeedDial fit system is extremely comfortable and guarantees a super-secure fit.
- Fusion In-Mold Microshell is the result of an in-molding process which bonds the helmet's Microshell to its EPS foam layer for a sturdier, more solid helmet
- Extended Microshell coverage in the back adds even more protection
- Internal Reinforcement is a fortified composite skeleton which allows for bigger vents, more advanced styling and lighter weight, while still meeting stringent safety standards
- 25 large channeled vents bring cool air in through the front, allowing it to pass over your head and then flushes warm air out of the rear ports -- so YOU stay cool and your HEAD stays cool
- Overbrow Ventilation intakes work with the moto-proven Velocity Flow Ventilation system to actively cool air over the head via 4 ports on the brow of the helmet
- Woven with real silver fibers, X-Static Padding is a quick-drying and antimicrobial material which inhibits growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi while keeping you cooler than standard pads

Hellboy Seen Through The Eyes of Others
Joshua Koppel
on April 19, 2004
Format: Paperback
Hellboy has become a huge success and creator Mike Mignola is busier than ever. So what do you do when the public wants more of your character than you can safely create? You invite other artists to put their own spin on things. This volume is a collection of such stories.
Midnight Cowboy - A young Hellboy gets into trouble at Area 51.
Haunted - Hellboy investigates a supposedly haunted house but finds no trace of ghosts but they find him.
Family Story - Hellboy is doing research and discovers some strange goings on in the family that owns the library.
Hot - Hellboy investigates something that is scaring people out of some Chinese hot springs. The Water Sprite he finds awakens the horn in him.
The Children of the Black Mound - Cold hard reason squares off against ghosts, legends and religion. A tale of a young historical figure.
Big-Top-hell-Boy - Hellboy investigates a cunning array of circus ghosts and find a curious property of his right hand.
Flight Risk - Aces of the jetpack vie for altitude records but some rather large bats may have other ideas.
Hellboy & Co in Downtime - Hellboy has tackled some evil entities in his time. Now he must face his ultimate challenges as he goes up against the office copier and the soda machine
Abe Sapien Star of the BPRD - Hellboy is just a musclebound bulk while Abe Sapien is the one who really brings home the sushi (I mean bacon).
Hey, Hey, Suckers! - Hellboy returns from a gala and can't help boasting and rubbing it in.
Curse of the Haunted Doily - Kate faces her mom's ghost
The Dread Within - Liz vs Possession
Still Born - Hellboy attends a dangerous birth in reality and in his dreams.
Party Pooper - Hellboy's birthday party
This is a fun collection. The stories vary between the silly to the dark and eerie. Art styles also cover most of the spectrum from the beautiful pencils of Hot to the cartoonish Hellboy and Co in Downtime. A must read for any Hellboy fan.

Demon Babies Say the Sweetest Things!
on January 16, 2004
Format: Paperback
While working for the BPRD, Hellboy and crew see a lot of action. Unfortunately for us, all this glorious information has to take a back seat to the other things pressing Mike Mignola for time. Its an understandable dilemma, mind you, and one that I've patiently worked around, hoping all the while for a few more delicious morsels from the Hellboy table and trying not to complain too much when I don't get much. Still, only having one new story in 2003 come out that left my mouth watering, (in The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings) reminding me of drink without quenching my thirst, wasn't really the greatest feeling.
In order to fill in the gaps and to make us all feel better, Hellboy and the gang have been taken under the wings of mixed group of artists and storytellers, some questionable and some rather talented, allowing other people to work with what Mike started and try to give us that fix we want. And while they aren't Mignola and you can tell it a few times way too much, some do an outstanding job of filling in and dosing up all the Hellboy junkies out there in need of a quick fix.
Now before I continue and rain praise on this parade that could be taken in many different lights, I have to let you in on a little secret. I'm actually a Hellboy junkie, fan of just about anything Mike Mignola touches, and I like following the stream that flows from that magically-tasty trough. I've gone to lengths to follow the BPRD sagas that have been coming out, tracking down one-shots of Abe Sapien before the TPB and finding the little hints Mignola has dropped here and there, so I'm not what you would call "unbiased party." I've followed quite a few forgettable drops in the artistic bucket just to catch three-four pages of a character I can't seem to get enough of, and I'm assuming that most people that would go out and purchase this have to be at least a lower grade of obsessive like myself. For anyone that isn't and is not familiar with the concept of the BPRD, they research the paranormal and they try to remedy those problems. More often than not that results in a little fist-to-face action, and more often than not it also involves some really strange recounts. For anyone unaware of who Hellboy is, there are a few books out there to answer a question that I'm not even going to begin tackling here.
In the Weird Tales installations, there were some rather high notes and quite a few stories. I personally enjoyed seeing a lot of them dedicated to the off-the-beaten-path characters, too, like Liz Sherman and Baba Yaga. While I wouldn't go as far as to say that anything truly meaningful to Hellboy or the BPRD takes place in them, I'd say that they contain a lot of what you'd expect. Sometimes that unfortunately translates into something that I, as a reader knowledgeable in Hellboy, abhor because the writers feel they I have to be reminded of some of the essentials. Other times it also means that we get art that isn't the greatest in the world (and, once or twice, that I wouldn't have let my pet use for diaper duty), and the short stories we find are just that and they aren't really allowed to shuffle things around. A few times, however, everything hits just right, a demon kid breathes a little fire and sets everything ablaze, and I sit thinking that everything therein is just plain creepy. A little Baba Yaga comes to count the fingers of the dead, Hellboy does something interesting or recounts a tale of his youth, and Roger even finds his way into the fray. This happened enough times in the mix, at least once per comic edition to the Graphic Novel, so it made it pay off pretty well and made the other portions and complaints vanish. In fact, it was kind of surprising because I expected a disaster with Mignola off working on the Hellboy movie.
If you really don't know anything about Hellboy and you've picked up on this as something of a primer, I'd advise you to go back and try on Mike Mignola's work so you can get thoroughly acquainted with the idea. In the four main graphic novels, you'll see what's what and how the idea has influenced so many people, understanding what these stories are all about. These are more like tasty little tidbits to tie a person over, given to us by people that enjoy the concept but aren't the Patient Zero of the Hellboy contagion. Its would actually be something akin to a cover in music, only its done with frames instead of melody. Also take note that this isn't the whole collection because there are eight comics in the Weird Tales collection. That means there'll be another graphic novel to come, and some of the stories that'll be in it are really, really superb.

Your Hellboy fix until Mignola returns
Michael Hockinson
on April 12, 2004
Format: Paperback
Being something of Hellboy purist (if Mignola didn't write and/or draw it, I usually won't go near it), I was initially dissauded from this series when it was first published as individual issues last year. On the whole, the writers and artists in the first "Weird Tales" trade aquit themselves admirably. Standouts include Eric Powell's "Midnight Cowboy", which nails the look and feel of Mignola's HB. If you liked "Pancakes" (see "Right Hand of Doom"), you're going to love this. Set in Japan, Randy Stradley's "Hot" uses a familiar HB plot device, but more than acquits itself with Seung Kim's exceptional artwork, in black and white no less! John Cassady's "Big-Top Hellboy" is a visual treat from the artist who makes Warren Ellis' "Planetary" one of the best titles being published. (BPRD/Planetary crossover, anyone?) Kudos also for Jason Pearson's Liz Sherman story, "The Dread Within," and Fabian Nicienza's "Children of the Black Mound" (the best HB story in this collection that doesn't feature Hellboy). Keeping this collection from attaining five stars are three tails (sic) that either waste Hellboy (Tom Sniegoski's "Haunted"), or do the character a severe disservice in the interest of cheap laughs (John Arcudi's "Abe Sapien: Star of the BPRD" and Bob Fingerman's execrable "Downtime"). Still, in all, until Mignola picks up his pens again, you won't feel weird reading "Weird Tales."

My 11 year old son is very interested in programming. He has been working with Scratch for a couple years but has now outgrown it. I recently helped him install Visual C# Express Edition and he is very excited to work with it, but we're having a hard time finding good resources for him online.
He learns best by looking at sample programs, dissecting them, altering them, etc. Searching around I wasn't able to find many good samples for him to download and try in C# Express Edition. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good set of sample programs for a kid learning C#, or any other resources you think might be good for him?
BTW I'm a programmer myself but I've been almost exclusively working with Linux for a long time, so when it comes to Microsoft I'm pretty lost!

This set is so beautiful and exactly what I was looking for... I paired this with white Soho dot sheets and white French Tile quilt set and my bedroom is breathtaking! Old world shabby chic... the fabric is very heavy, high end, old world chenille, beautiful fringe, drapes gracefully at end of bed (I swear my grandmother had drapes made of this fabric!) The color is much darker than appears in the photo but is a deep gold and black... It's just stunning! I am truly in love with Overstock...
Beautiful spread! Very Heavy! High quality, Old world charm. The colors are Black and Gold-Not Green. Worth every penny! It is a conversation piece. Everyone will want to know where it was purchased. Great Choice!
I've purchased this pattern in all the available sizes! It's beautiful and very heavyweight. It says dry clean only, but I have tossed the coverlet in the laundry on permanent press and dryer on low and it came out very nice. Reads as more expensive than it is. I'm very happy.
Perfect for our weather here at the moment great quilt perfect size for our knig size bed.
Love this set. Great size, looks and easy care.
The gold was very greenish and the king size did not fit my king size bed. I have the higher mattresses. It only went half way down the sides. The quality is excellent. I love it but unfortunately cannot use it at all as it won't match my drapes and walls because of the green. Would I recommend it to a friend? yes, as a matter of fact a friend of mine bought it from me.
I ordered the King size. I have the same Bedspread in Burgandy for a Queen size . The King I just ordered and the Queen I already had from Overstock are pretty much the same size. I ordered this one for a low Patform King bed. Its too small.Also the Burgandy had the Fringe on the shams as well.Pity. Bedding sizes are not consistant anymore at Overstock.
This is a pretty set and seems to be good quality. However, I sent it back because the gold is green and does not match, very misleading and it cost a fortune to return.
The color is horrible it almost had a green cast to it and the fabric was horrible. It was very stiff and the texture was just almost gritty. This is my first time ordering thru Overstock and think it is better when trying to base off colors to be able to see it in person first as it is costing me over $$$ dollars to return for there crappy product.
I love every of your products i have purchased and will recommend you to my friends and family members.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
