Gretchen Wilson is about to add the word "author" to her list of accomplishments, as she gets ready for the publication of her first book—Redneck Woman: Stories From My Life.
"I didn't think six months ago that I was ever going to write a book," Gretchen tells Neil Haislop's Nashville IQ. "I just kept thinking, 'There isn't anything.' I'm such an ordinary person that there's not a story," she says. But now that the book is complete, Gretchen could not be more pleased. The book details Gretchen's past and also captures her on the road, as she shares stories of touring. "It's like I'm hearing them for the first time," Gretchen notes. Gretchen's book arrives in stores Nov. 1.

How Soon Is Now?
by The Smiths
"How Soon Is Now?" may be a 1980s classic, but musically the song was influenced by the sounds of the 1950s and 1970s. Johnny Marr wrote the song's distinctive riff before going into the studio. He was partially inspired by the "stomp" of 1970s disco. "As a kid I was fascinated by Hamilton Bohannon's 'Disco Stomp' and 'New York Groove' by Hello, and I wanted to make something with that stomp," he said. But Marr was also passing through a Bo Diddley phase. "I was playing Bo Diddley stuff everywhere I went. I wanted it to be really, really tense and swampy, all at the same time." The result was a disco "stompin' groove" coupled to a Bo Diddley-like tremolo.
Producer John Porter immediately recognized the potential within the riff, but he thought the chord progressions needed work, so he told Marr to jam on an old Elvis tune, "That's All Right." After dropping the whole thing several keys, Porter and Marr tied the riff to the new chords and sent a tape to Morrissey. After piecing together lyrics from several songs in process, Morrissey recorded the vocals (allegedly it only took him two takes to nail it). Porter realized he had a distinctive package. "I thought . . . Now we've got something that we can sell in America. Now we've got a band that could be like R.E.M. are now.'"

Hopefully, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott can clarify a state law that either has been misinterpreted by 47th District Attorney Rebecca King or a state legislator who co-authored the legislation.
King is of the opinion the law requires physicians to notify authorities when there is evidence of illegal drug use by a pregnant woman, even to an unborn child inside the womb. State Rep. Ray Allen, R-Grand Prairie, was the co-author of the bill and contends the law does not include such a provision.
The legal wrangling centers on the term "individual," and whether this includes an unborn child. Ultimately, this disagreement will be for the attorney general, whose primary responsibility it is to clarify state law, to decide.
However, it is difficult to argue with King.
Women who take illegal drugs during pregnancy not only are committing an illegal act but are showing no regard for the welfare of their child. More than likely, it will be the responsibility of taxpayers to assume responsibility of the child. There comes a time when responsibility must be a consideration, especially when the illegal actions of one person adversely affect another.
Time will tell whether King overstepped her bounds, and if so, the law must be applied as legally defined. If King is wrong, at least it is for the right reason.

Pre- and Post-Emphasis Techniques as Applied to Audio Recording Systems
Audio Recorders benefit from pre- and post-emphasis which reshapes the noise spectrum to match human audibility thresholds. A 10dB increase in apparent dynamic range is realized for some digital-audio systems. A first order boost based on the CCITT J.17 pre-emphasis standard is shown to be appropriate for dynamic range expansion. A survey of peak acoustic levels present in 36 music performances is also included.

(No, we're not talking about THIS home improvement)
There is much to learn about home improvement and success can go along with this knowledge. There is plenty of information available, however, not everything you read will apply to your specific situation. This article will give some tips, in regard to home improvement.
Use fans to cool your house in the summertime. Ceiling fans are particularly helpful to circulate air. They keep your home much cooler. Using floor fans and ceiling fans will also help to lessen the energy you utilize, as you won't need to run the air conditioner as hard. This will help you to save money.
Don't overlook the addition of storage space to your new or existing home. Most homes are substantially lacking in storage space. Add built in bookshelves to the living room or dining room. Turn a broom closet near the kitchen into a food pantry. Small changes and additions will really add up.
Take the time to find the studs before you start the install project for your new cabinets. This can be done easily with a stud finder and marked with a nail that will be behind the new cabinets anyway and not able to be seen. The studs are the only sturdy place you have to attach something to a wall.
To repair a larger hole in your walls, use sheet rock. First make the hole into a uniform square or rectangle by cutting away a measured area. Doing this will make the hole bigger, but will allow you to get exact dimensions for repair. Then cut a piece of sheet rock that is the same size as the square or rectangle you just cut from the wall. Place the newly cut piece of sheet rock in the hole and secure in place with drywall nails. Then apply joint compound to the seams. Cover the seams with joint tape, then apply another layer of joint compound and smooth it out. When dry, paint over it with any color.
Install large corner shelves in your bedroom just below the ceiling. These shelves can easily be constructed using just a sheet of plywood and a couple of pieces of molding. Cut the shelf large enough that it can be used to hold large comforters and other items that you need to keep up and out of the way.
If you're searching for information on how to finance these types of projects, check these websites out:
- Reverse Mortgage Provider – These loans can help seniors make home improvements
- Home Improvement Loans – For the rest of us 🙂
Purchase draft excluders or sealant strips to stop air from getting out. Draft excluders fit underneath a door and stop hot air from leaking out and cold air from leaking in. Sealant strips will also do the job in preventing air from seeping out of door frames. They are available at hardware and department stores.
Visit open houses before engaging in a renovation project. These areas will feature new styles and give you ideas of how to make your home look better. You'll find many homes have the touch of an interior designer, ideas you can take for free.
Try using a wall mount for your television to free up some floor space or clear off the area where the television was sitting previously. With attention to the manufacturer's instructions, this job can be completed in just 30 minutes.
You can easily change the look and feel of your furniture simply by purchasing distinctive new knobs, handles, and drawer pulls. These accents can be purchased individually or as part of a set for added savings, and the selection of colors, materials, and shapes is virtually infinite. This is also an excellent option to update antique or vintage furniture that is missing its original hardware.
When you need to find someone to do some work on your home, but no one has any recommendations, be sure to do a thorough search on the company on the internet. You should check reviews from previous customers, as well as to check the better business bureau. This could save you a lot of money and a big hassle in the future.
In summary, there are some obvious ideas that have been tested over time, as well as some newer techniques that you may not have considered. Hopefully, as long as you follow what we suggest in this article, you can either get started with your home improvement project or improve on what you have already done.

Jean Marzollo When I was young, I liked to sew, play baseball, and read. I was drawn to poetry early in life. I loved to read, and one of my favorite books as a child was A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. Also, my mother had several small poetry books on her bookshelf. With their leather covers and gold titles, they were treasures to me.

Groton — A local submariner recently helped save a man who was having a heart attack at Electric Boat while another evacuated passengers from a burning bus in Preston.
Both good Samaritans credited their military training with giving them the knowledge and confidence to help.
Jared Bradovich, a machinist's mate first class, was aboard the USS Annapolis when the sub's emergency medical assistance team was called. A shipyard worker was having a heart attack on the walkway leading to the submarine on Nov. 2.
The Annapolis is at Electric Boat for maintenance and the stricken shipyard worker is one of the Newport News Shipbuilding employees helping with the job.
The emergency medical assistance team was on a barge near the sub, not on the sub itself, so Bradovich grabbed an emergency medical kit and climbed out of the submarine.
The man wasn't breathing so Bradovich and another shipyard worker administered CPR for about five minutes until EB's fire department arrived on the scene and took the man to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital. He was then taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital, said Lt. Cmdr. Andre Lester, executive officer of the Annapolis (SSN 760).
"The report I received from one of the supervisors is they were told at Yale that if it was not for the first responders, he probably would've died," Lester said. "He had two massive heart attacks on the pier."
Two days later, on Nov. 4, a student at the Naval Submarine School, Charles Barlow, was driving on Route 164 in Preston when he saw a bus on fire, according to the school. The bus came to a halt on the side of the road. Barlow pulled over, too, and ran toward it.
Barlow, an aviation electronics technician third class, called 911 and then boarded the bus to lead the 40 passengers to safety, the school said. He returned to the bus with a fire extinguisher from his vehicle and with help from the bus driver put out the fire in the rear engine compartment.
Barlow directed traffic until the police arrived. Capt. David Roberts, commanding officer of the Naval Submarine School, presented him with a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal on Thursday. Roberts praised Barlow's quick response and "display of outstanding situational awareness and calm resolve."
"Thanks to my Navy training, I knew what to do and was confident I could handle what was coming," Barlow said in a statement. "I was glad to be able to use what I've learned to help others and make a difference."
Bradovich said he was happy to help.
"It makes me happy I can still utilize my training and help someone out that was in need," he said in an interview.
Bradovich said he learned CPR on his first submarine and received a refresher course when he reported to the Annapolis. He studied at Tripler Army Medical Center and he knows combat life-saving skills because he served with the U.S. Army in Iraq in 2007 as one of the Navy's individual augmentees, the sailors who temporarily step out of their normal roles to support other units.
Nearly all of the sailors on the Annapolis could perform CPR, and only a few need more training to be certified, Lester said. That is because at sea, "it's just us," he added.
"We do a lot of training like that because you never know when you're going to have to respond or who will have to respond," Lester said.
Lester said when he saw Bradovich take charge and help the man, he told everyone else to stay clear.
"He's one of the go-to guys on the ship," he said, adding later that "any other crew member would've done the same thing."
"That's the kind of tight-knit family we have down here, and the skills we learn we can apply them to everyone," he said.

Good day,
I'm "trying" to develop a plugin that works with a specific page template.
A metabox will be added on the page edit screen only when the 'mbizpa.php' page template will be selected.
The first thing I do is :
if (get_post_meta($post->ID,'_wp_page_template', true) == 'mbizpa.php')
add_action( 'admin_init', 'myplugin_add_custom_box', 1 );
add_action( 'save_post', 'myplugin_save_postdata' );
My problem is that the condition is never true.
I can see 'mbizpa.php' on the database (and the mbizpa.php template is selected), but the condition is never true.
I tried executing the same condition later in my plugin (at the spot where I do displays), and it works fine. The condition is true and I can display the 'mbizpa.php' value. I even displayed it in hex to make sure there is no blank space I cant see on the db. Nope, it's fine.
When I change the condition to:
if (get_post_meta($post->ID,'_wp_page_template', true) != 'mbizpa.php')
Of course, the metabox is displayed on all page edit screens.
- Would there be an easy way to display the value of _wp_page_template in a popup (alert box) for debug?
- Why can't get the value of _wp_page_template right at the start of my plugin execution?
Thanks for your help

French Cuisine Homes In on the Ingredients, Finds Its Heart
There is a commonly held view among a number of leading food writers that French cuisine has been in a state of gentle decline for at least the past two decades. The culinary tradition in France has been so rigid that innovation and change in the rest of the world has meant that the French have been left behind in a culinary cul de sac, these critics say.
This view was first elaborated in the books of Michael Steinberger ("Au Revoir to All That") and Adam Gopnik ("Paris to the Moon"). Mr. Gopnik reiterated these views in his latest book, "The Table Comes First," published last month by Quercus, in which he says many American critics found French cuisine "stereotyped, unreal, and remote from life," and lacking in what he termed "think food."
With these dire predictions in mind, I was eager to explore culinary developments in Paris since my last visit in December, when I found plenty of signs that the food scene there was anything but stagnant and moribund.
I discovered three new establishments—Akrame in the 16th arrondissement, Septime in the 11th and Agapé Substance in the sixth—that have created yet another generic title. This time, rather than being gastro bistrot or néo-bistrot, the new trend appears to be "Ingredient" or "Natural Cuisine," where the produce determines what dishes are served on the night.
While the 16th is synonymous with affluence and old money, rue Lauriston is merely an anonymous spoke rising from behind the Arc de Triomphe—the sort of street that has shuttered ethnic restaurants and even an abandoned TV dumped on the sidewalk. However, there is nothing scruffy about the interior of Akrame. It is a study in discreet grays, with leather-backed chairs, padding on the walls and stylish photographs of models. Although there is a gesture toward the open kitchen, here the view is merely the size of a widescreen TV. There are only 24 seats, including a raised table d'hôte with space for six.
Akrame Benallal, who trained at Spain's El Bulli and Pierre Gagnaire's eponymous establishment, only knows what he will offer the night before service, when the restaurant team, headed by a young Englishman named Jon Irwin, have discussed what is available. "It is not me who chooses the menu, it is the produce," Mr. Benallal says. "I think nowadays everyone wants more simplicity with the absolute best ingredients. It is far more difficult than creating a normal dish through deconstruction of the ingredients—in this case, it is all to do with calibration."
The highlights of my meal were a hen's egg cooked at 62 degrees Celsius, with thin slices of sautéed wild mushrooms served atop small chunks of wind-dried beef. There was also a perfectly cooked wild sea bass placed on a bed of flat green beans from Béarn. The entire dish was suffused with garlic and olive puree, but the underlying memory is of how precisely it was cooked, due no doubt to the use of sous-vide, or controlled-temperature cooking in vacuum-sealed bags. This, along with amuse-gueules and dessert, was a mere €35. Mr. Benallal, whose restaurant has been full since opening in May and has a six-week waiting list, finds it difficult to describe his style of cooking, except to say, "it is a homely restaurant. I want people to feel relaxed as if they are seeing me at home.... I hate the quietness you find in some grand restaurants. I prefer to have a good restaurant with a warm welcome. The future is for the kitchen with a heart."
Septime ( +33 143 67 38 29), which is located in the 11th, is more like Soho, either in London or Manhattan, with deliberately crumbling paintwork and simple wooden tables and chairs and a large bar. Twenty-nine-year-old Bertrand Grébaut worked in the kitchens of Alain Passard at L'Arpège before earning a star at another, more formal restaurant. Mr. Grébaut also creates deceptively simple dishes with memorable flavors, such as a veal tartare with a cap of potato foam on the top, or steamed red mullet with leeks.
Agapé Substance, in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, is the most technically accomplished of this trio, with chef David Toutain, 30, the product of L'Arpège, Mugaritz in San Sebastian and Corton in New York. Diners sit at a single narrow table/bench with hardly room to move, while the open kitchen is at the rear of the room. There is no menu, merely a list of 12 ingredients, such as sweetbreads, parsnip, mushroom, beef, flour, sea urchin and crab, and diners are requested to point out any allergies or ingredients they do not want to eat. This was one of the most visually arresting meals I have had for some time, with some exceptional dishes, such as a consommé of shrimp and carrot with three little towers of king crab, or a deceptively simple roast squid covered with thin slices of chorizo. Other standout dishes included a plate with two different types of carrot and an array of wild mushrooms and some herbs on a slate.
"French cuisine has changed in the past couple of years," Mr. Toutain says. "Now we are very relaxed about being influenced by what is happening in Spain or Scandinavia, but we are still French. We all just need to work together and not be concerned about the nationality of an idea."

I have been knitting since I was about 8 years old. My mother taught me to knit and my parents encouraged me to explore all kinds of arts & crafts activities by providing me with the materials that I needed to create.
As a girl, I loved to sew (I spent hours using my mother's sewing machine making clothes for my dolls), knit, draw and paint. In high school I spent all my extra time at school hanging out in the art room. In college I worked at a cute little yarn store and I still have some yarn in my stash that I bought at that store…way too many years ago!
I love giving hand knit gifts to my friends and family. In these days of mass produced gifts (that often require a plug-in cord or battery) it is nice to give something that is truly one-of-a-kind. I love to see the smile on their faces when they open the gift I made for them.
I enjoy knitting (of course!), teaching my daughter to sew, going to my son's sporting events, baking, making jam in the summer, making homemade gingerbread houses in December, and going to the beach.
I hope that you enjoy using my patterns to create special heirloom quality items for your home, friends & family.
This is a fun, quick knitting project! Knit one large rectangle, fold the knitting in half, sew up the side seams, insert the purchased pillow form and then sew up the bottom seam. It's really easy! Detailed finishing instructions included in the pattern with lots of photos.
The classic, simple texture of this knitting pattern makes this pillow suitable for many decor styles.
This pillow is knit with chunky weight yarn. (In the U.S., chunky weight yarn is classified as "Bulky" on the label.)
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, bind off stitches, sew up simple seams and weave in ends.
If you have not sewn up seams before, this pattern includes detailed, step-by-step finishing instructions with close-up photos.
This pattern is written in standard U.S. knitting terms.
I knit this pillow using Debbie Bliss Merino Chunky in blue #140209. This yarn has been discontinued. However, there are many other chunky weight yarns which will work with this pattern. I like Berroco Vintage Chunky.
14 sts x 17 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch
370 yards of Chunky weight

'Are You Still Watching Cable TV?'
Journal Community (at WSJ.com/Community ) is the social network where you can ask questions and share your knowledge and expertise.
Go to our site and join the discussion. Sunday Journal will publish some of the questions and answers you post online. Comments may be edited for brevity and clarity.
Q:Have you canceled your cable or satellite TV subscription? If so, are you watching less television? Or are you finding what you want through the Internet?
A: We sat in the living room recently with the TV on. After a half-hour I asked who was watching it. No one was, even though there were five people in the house. It seems the entire family is entertained by the Internet now.
—Paul Manning
We just recently ditched our cable service, and now we are receiving 20+ over-the-air (OTA) channels in the Kansas City area. We were paying $120 a month, so our savings is $1,440 a year. We discovered a lot of the cable programs that we watched are available on iTunes, so we now watch them through our Apple TVs.
—Jeff Himmelberg
I live in a rural area and have never had the option of cable. I get OTA from three different markets in Wisconsin. My other option is Internet TV via a $99 Roku box.
—Kathy McMichael
I have a digital antenna for my HDTV (for local programming), but I rarely use it. I now watch shows on my phone.
—Edward Scribner
I stuck one of those big antennas on my roof for less than $200 and get 36 crystal clear channels that come in digitally to my analog converter box.
Every channel is perfect: no ghosting, no lines. I found there were a whole bunch more channels over the air that I never knew existed, and many are in HD stereo.
—Robert Bowers
I get 80% of what I want from OTA, Netflix and Hulu. Amazon Instant Video fills in a lot of the rest. The only big hole is live sports. Lots of NHL games are only available through cable, and a handful of NFL games. But I can go to the bar for those and it's still cheaper than cable.
—Randy Ribarchak
When I bought my house in South Jersey over 42 years ago, it came equipped with a directional high-gain Yagi [antenna] on the roof. When the local Philadelphia stations didn't have a program I wanted, I could rotate it about 90 degrees and receive a bunch of New York stations transmitting from the peak of the Empire State Building around 100 miles away.
—Robert Paglee
The saving grace for cable in my house: the DVR. If I had no control over commercials or being able to easily watch when I want to watch, then it would be gone.
—Jeffrey Ihnen
We save $90/month, and haven't looked back. We get broadcast stations with a simple OTA antenna, and it's all available in HD with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound encoded onto the stream. We augment it with Hulu and other sites just by plugging the computer into the TV.
—John Smith
The most attractive deal isn't to cancel cable TV but to step down to a basic package, which costs me about $15. Our monthly expense on TV/Internet/phone is down tremendously, to $53 per month from more than $170 in 2010.
—James Barringer
I stopped watching television at home several years ago, striking a bargain with myself that if I wanted television, I would need to go to the gym to get it. I haven't missed a moment.
—Mary Keane
I haven't had a cable bill in six years. I gave my television away four years ago.
I don't miss it. I have found time for graduate school, learned to surf and learned to play the cello (at 40!). OK, I admit it—I play the cello poorly, but I'm getting better.
—Chris Yost
Next month's question:
Q:What strategy do you use to keep track of things you need to do?

Romney: Big business is fine, helped by tax havens
Big business is doing fine in many places, Romney said during a campaign fundraiser Thursday.They get the loans they need, they can deal with all the regulation. They know how to find ways to get through the tax code, save money by putting various things in the places where there are low tax havens around the world for their businesses.
United States
#8684 Aug 24, 2012
Things will almost instantly begin improving when Romney wins as business is hoarding cash and avoiding expansion because of the war on capitalism Obama has been waging. That cash and delayed expansion will begin immediately. Plus you have Romney's specific energy plan that will have the US energy independent by 2020. This will create millions of jobs stimulate the economy and The Arabs will dramatically reduce oil prices and increase supply to try to cause us to abandon those plans. While that has worked in the past, Romney will not be side tracked.

Wouldn't you think the middle class Reps. would realize that " trickle down" doesn't work?
Reagan and Bush I tried it and over doubled the nat. debt.
Clinton came in and was getting us back on track and then Bush II comes in starts it all over again and this times almost put us into a depression.
Well I guess we have to try it one more time, Maybe this time we can get into the largest depression we have ever had.
Hang on to your wallets middle class
#8689 Aug 24, 2012
You mean the Republican Congress during the Clinton years got us on track and the people were too stupid to keep electing Republicans and gave control of Congress back to the Democrats during Bush II's years and the economic collapse came. The Democrats who would not reign in Freddie and Fannie allowed the economic collapse. The lesson to be learned is a vote for a Democrat is a vote for failure. By the way trickle down worked very well. People had jobs and spending money, what does not work is the trickle up poverty we have now. If you are concerned with debt that you must be really concerned with the 5 trillion plus Obama has added and the forecast that if Obama is re-elected the National debt will be 20 trillion or more.

YOU mean electing the DEMs 7 years AFTER BUSH II was in office?
Sorry to tell you we were already on the slide when they were elected.
The Rep.s Had complete control of the GOV. from 2001 to 2008.
Go back and look up just what happened in those years.
Why didn't your Rep.s do something about Freddy and fanny? they had control of the Gov. for several years before the housing bubble bust.
and why when they were looking into this mess did they put the MINORITY leader of that Comm. on the stand ?
Where was the MAJORITY leader?
Just like everything else if it is a good thing the REPs want all the credit if something goes wrong [ and it was their fault] they blame the Dems
Have a nice day

Wrong again....
Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is mobilizing to placate Democrats in Congress who claim he is not doing enough to crack down on predatory lending.
#8696 Aug 24, 2012
John, yes you are wrong again. How many times do you need to be corrected before you pay attention to your second grade teacher.
Johnny you sure do like to wallow in your ignorance.
Fannie and Freddie are "government-sponsored enterprises" (GSEs), chartered by Congress. As such, they had an implicit promise of taxpayer backing and could borrow money at rates well below competitors.
Because of this, the Bush administration warned in the budget it issued in April 2001 that Fannie and Freddie were too large and overleveraged. Their failure "could cause strong repercussions in financial markets, affecting federally insured entities and economic activity" well beyond housing.
Mr. Bush wanted to limit systemic risk by raising the GSEs' capital requirements, compelling preapproval of new activities, and limiting the size of their portfolios. Why should government regulate banks, credit unions and savings and loans, but not GSEs? Mr. Bush wanted the GSEs to be treated just like their private-sector competitors.
#8697 Aug 24, 2012
A blog from the Murdoch owned WSJ? lol
Don't you have something from Fox News directly or something from YouTube?
President Bush today said he'll make changes in Federal Housing Administration policies to help homeowners affected by the subprime mortgage crisis. Bush said he would work toward modernizing and improving the FHA "by lowering down payment requirements, by increasing loan limits and providing more flexibility in pricing."
Administration officials also announced that the program would be altered to let an extra 80,000 homeowners with less than perfect credit sign up for FHA loans, well above the 160,000 borrowers expected to take the loans this year and next.

New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
By STEPHEN LABATON
Published: September 11, 2003
Sign In to E-Mail
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.
#8699 Aug 24, 2012
Well thats a bit scary to think that our elected officials are acting like ad agencies (nothing too new, but to actually legit act like one)
also does anyone else find it weird that mitt romney's campaign is going to be spending more money than say the the net income of Disney / Microsoft / Apple / SONY
#8700 Aug 24, 2012
and to whoever said i lied about romney poling 0 with black voters....no thats the actual truth...hes that bad....he got booed at the NAACP for a reason
#8701 Aug 24, 2012
Just shows how racist they are. If 100% of whites said they would not support Obama it would be an up roar. Proves there is racism in America and the racists are BLACK. That is something for the Blacks to be ashamed of not proud of.
They booed Romney at NAACP only after he said he was going to end Obamacare. I guess the racists don't understand obamacare is not free.

I've read some info about this but I just can't seem to figure out how to ensure I never have this problem.
I've got a local set of WP 3.1 files that I use every single time I install WordPress. Thing is, sometimes after the install I can then install plugins, themes, etc. without entering any FTP credentials and without running into any permissions problems where I'm forced to start chmoding everything to 777 instead of being able to leave them at 755.
Other times, I cannot. I often run into an issue where after a clean install of WP I go to install some plugins and I have to type in my FTP credentials. Then the plugin will install correctly but when I end up with errors that it couldn't create the /upload folder correctly, and from there I just keep running into permissions issues and it's just not smooth.
I've got a Rackspace Cloud Hosting and when I create new accounts there this never seems to happen. Everything runs nice and smooth. I also have a Media Temple dedicated-virtual server. On that one I use Plesk to create new hosting accounts, ftp users, etc. and that's where I can't seem to get around all of these issues. I've tried using the root account for FTP with the path to the web site I'm working on and I've also tried setting up an additional FTP user specifically for the site root. Both seem to give me the same problem.
Any information on how I can get to the bottom of this and avoid it in the future would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Live music and dating: Embrace your partner's tastes
Not a photo of the author
Photo by Erik Hess
Being in a relationship is as much a cultural journey as it is an emotional, intellectual, or sexual one. Mostly because you have to "do" things with your significant other, and when you live in a city, a lot of the time "doing" means going to the movies or catching a gig.
Because let's face it: If you don't do actual "stuff" together you're probably nothing more than two aimless, high-functioning alcoholics that only stand apart from the other masses of horny drunks who populate bars on any given night because you know who you're going home with after that sixth whiskey shot.
Because you're most definitely not going to find someone with the exact same taste in everything as you (we are all special snowflakes, etc.), you have to be prepared to be open-minded about embracing the passions of your significant other, partly as a bartering tool for them to embrace yours, partly because it's a nice thing to do, but mostly because you want to spend time with this other person (considering they are "significant") and share important experiences with them. Like, for instance, going to see their two favorite bands gig together in their college town. That's what we proverbially refer to as a "bonding experience."
When my boyfriend asked me to go to a Hold Steady/Deer Tick show with him in Boston this spring, I said yes, and thereby made the tacit agreement that I would spend the preceding two months getting into both bands. When saddled with this obligation, I reasoned that surely, because I like him and everything about him, it should naturally follow that his tastes would suit my sensibilities. I chose him, he chose the Hold Steady, ergo, I chose the Hold Steady. It turns out this brilliant philosophical chain of causality is exactly correct in this case. Ergo I am a brilliant philosopher.
I'd always been aware of the Hold Steady, but ever really into them, the way, say, I'm into the early works of Usher Raymond IV. Whereas I can sing you 8701 from "U Remind Me" to "R U the One" without skipping a beat, when it comes to the Hold Steady I'm more likely to say things like, "Oh this sounds like it could be the Hold Steady" when something that sounds vaguely like them comes on at a bar, in an attempt to make myself look cooler than I obviously am. When I'm told the song playing is not, in fact by the Hold Steady, I then go on to pretend I knew that all along, and I was struggling to hear over the din of other patrons. Like, how dare everyone at this bar hamper my ability to identify music. Fuckers.
The first Hold Steady album I listened to was Boys and Girls in America, so the first Hold Steady song I actually listened to with intention was "Stuck Between Stations." I should take this opportunity to advise you that I grew up in a Bruce Springsteen house, and we all know there are only two types of people: Bruce Springsteen people and everyone else. As a child, my favorite song was "Dancing in the Dark" (partially because Monica Geller was in the video), and Bruce Springsteen's music has defined a lot of what I remember about my childhood. It's got a lot to do with why I'm a huge Arcade Fire fan ("One of those people" according to an old roommate, followed by a judgmental stare-down) and I think it's got a lot to do with why I instantly felt connected to the Hold Steady.
So we're good. I'm crazy about my boyfriend and I'm crazy about his favorite band. Next stop: Deer Tick (which, when I told my best friend about, she screwed up her face like she'd just smelled a fart and exclaimed "Deer Dick?! What a weird name for a band"). Meanwhile, I'm not the only one putting in the effort to learn the specifics of the other's delicate aural palate.
Recently, I sent my boyfriend an article with video of Vin Diesel lip synching (us both being huge Fast & Furious fans, again, a franchise he suggested I get involved in, being the gorgeous genius that he is), with the headline "Vin Diesel Lip Syncs to Beyoncé." The video, however, began with old mate Dominic Toretto lip-syncing to Katy Perry's "Dark Horse" before going off into Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love." Boyfriend -- bless his goddamn cotton socks, bless them to hell -- immediately wrote back to me "But this isn't Beyonce. It's Katy Perry." You know you've got a keeper when he's so involved in you he actually learns to identify the music of your two favorite pop queens. That's some next level feels right there.
When we accept a person into our lives, we take them warts and all. But there is an arbitrary line where we find ourselves saying, "You just go over there and do you, and I'll be just over here waving at you, while doing me." My boyfriend is objectively perfect in just about every way. I think the sun shines out of his ass, even when he's doing stinky farts. However, it turns out, despite his overall great taste in music, women and things generally, he's also a huge She & Him fan. And I absolutely draw the line at She & Him.

Works exactly as I expect a wheel chock to work
By Paul
from Cincinnati, OH
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Haul-Master Solid Rubber Wheel Chock:
My parking brakes don't work on my F150, so one of these on each side while still parked on level ground puts my mind at ease. Bought it while on sale, but even the regular price compared to other wheel chocks is pretty good.Doesn't have any issues wedging in around my tires (235/75R15).Like many solid rubber items it has a bit of a smell as it continues to outgas, but that's not an issue in my opinion, and since it's outside it matters even less.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We needed some good chocks for our food trailer. Our drive is fairly steep and wanted something with grip. Have not tried in winter yet but they are doing exactly what we need holding our trailer on the slope. Just ordered 2 more.

This is a quality chock, that works well. I have a 38ft motor home that I chock two wheels on and these do the job perfectly. Another good thing is the price, can't beat it.

So, what's a person to do when all of the barren soil in their backyard is harder than concrete that is next to it? Build planter boxes, of course!
A local Sonoma County tradition is the Occidental Farmers market. It is every Friday evening, and this Friday was my first time attending. Surprising to me was the large amount of farmers selling not only fresh product from their farms, but also a lot of starts. I walked away with some winter squash, pumpkins, zucchini, long neck squash, two kinds of peppers, and some tomatoes.
With the legs in place, add the next row of lumber. With my boxes, I decided to make them two pieces tall. (About 8" off the ground.) If you wanted to make a taller box, or needed something that was going to have deeper roots, just make your legs taller, and then add more wood.
With the boxes done, take care to level out the ground where you want to place them. I dug up the ground a little bit, and removed all of the weeds that were there.

Mexican activists released from custody in Arizona
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – Nine activists arrested after attempting to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S. in protest of American immigration policy were released Wednesday from federal custody in southern Arizona.
The National Immigrant Youth Alliance announced that the so-called "Dream 9" were freed from the Eloy Detention Center.
They were arrested July 22 in Nogales, Ariz., as they tried to call attention to hundreds of thousands who have been deported during President Barack Obama's administration.
Earlier this week, the Homeland Security Department tentatively approved asylum requests for the nine immigrants.
DHS ruled the nine have a "credible fear" of being persecuted if they are sent back to Mexico.
An immigration judge will have the final say on whether they can remain permanently in the U.S., but such a ruling could take years.
According to the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that runs immigration courts, new cases for immigrants not being held in detention are being scheduled in Arizona for 2014.
Meanwhile, the nine immigrants could be eligible for a work permit in the future.
The nine spent part of their lives in the U.S. Some returned voluntarily to Mexico years ago, while others had been deported. Three of them were raised in the U.S. and left the country for Mexico expressly to participate in the protest when they attempted to cross the border in Nogales.
The immigrants were pushing for legislation being considered in Congress to offer eventual citizenship to some immigrants brought illegally to the U.S. as children.
House Republicans recently took a tentative step toward offering citizenship to some immigrants who fit into this category, but Democrats said it wasn't enough.
The dismissive reaction to the Republican proposal underscored the difficulties of finding an immigration reform compromise in the Republican-led House.

Mission Ridge is located in North Central Washington State on the Eastern Slopes of the Central Cascade Mountains near Wenatchee, WA.
Due to its location it receives less but much drier snow than other Cascades resorts located on the Western slopes of the Cascades. However Mission Ridge does occasionally get big dumps and I did ski there one day after it received almost three feet of snow in about a day with bottomless wind drifts.
Mission Ridge has an abundance of steepness in bounds as well as technical out of bounds terrain. In bounds check out the run called WaWa off Chair 3 on a powder day. Bomber Bowl is perhaps Mission Ridge's most well-known and best in bounds run. During WWII a U.S. B-24 Liberator bomber crashed near the present day location of Bomber Bowl, thus the name. Out of bounds on powder days locals either head for the Microwave Tower terrain skiers' right off the top of Chair 2 or Bomber Chutes far skiers' left off of Chair 2. Bowl 4 is a superb off piste powder bowl beyond the Microwave Tower, but it has been known to slide so be cautious. Bomber Chutes offers highly technical terrain with a series of narrow cliff-banded steep chutes that empty out into lovely powder glades.
The best time to ski Mission Ridge is mid-week after a good snowfall event. You'll almost have the whole mountain to yourself. Finally, Mission Ridge has excellent night skiing with gorgeous views of the town of Wenatchee when it's clear.

Gulabi Gang
The Gulabi gang (from Hindi गुलाबी gulabī, "pink") is a group of Indian women activists. The group first appeared in Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh,[1] being founded by Data Satbodh Sain and earlier commanded by Sampat Pal Devi, as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women.[2] The group has been reported to have spread and since 2010, is now active across North India.,[3] both on the streets as in (local) politics.[4]Now, Sampat Pal ousted from Gulabi Gang. The decision to replace Sampat Pal was taken at a meeting of the Gulabi Gang members held on Sunday at Gaura Baba Dham in Atarra area on the borders of Banda and Chitrakoot. The meeting was convened by founder and national convener of the group Data Satbodh Sain who accused Sampat of misusing the gang's reputation and name to serve personal interests. Parvati Soni, a member from Atarra, accused Pal of demanding Rs 5,000 to help confront her in-laws in Maudaha who were subjecting her to severe physical and mental torture.
Satbodh saindata was founded the Gulabi Gang, Sampat Pal Devi, a mother of five and former government health worker (as well as a former child bride) first started the group after having been beaten by an abusive husband. Since then, women have joined intending to punish oppressive and abusive men. The women scold men who abuse their wives and even publicly humiliate them if they needed to do so.[5] In some cases, they even go further and threaten the abusive husbands of beating them with laathis (sticks) unless they stop abusing their wives.[1][6] This has earned them the title of "vigilantes".
The Gulabi gang is not an actual gang, but rather a team of women working towards justice for oppressed and abused women.[5] The women wear uniform pink saris symbolizing strength, and carry around bamboo sticks that can be used as weapons if needed.[5] Most of the women are from a poor background and are of the lowest caste, the Dalit.[5]
Corporate partnerships of the Gulabi Gang include Vitalect, a technology and services company that works with non-profit organizations to assist them with their technological needs, and Social Solution India (SSI), a non-profit company that promotes NGO stability.[5]
There is no discrimination based on gender because the gang not only focuses on male jurisdiction over women, but also on human rights and male oppression.[7] Community service efforts of the gang include food and grain distribution to villagers in rural areas, pension to widows who do not have the means to support themselves in their old age, and helping prevent the abuse of women and children.[5] Dowry, dowry beatings, dowry death, rape, child marriages, domestic abuse, desertion, depriving of education, child molestation, and sexual harassment are all watched for and punished by the gang.[5]
In June 2007, leader Sampat Pal Devi heard that government-run fair-price shops were limiting the amount of grain distributed and were not giving out food and grains to the villagers as they should.[8] She led the gang to observe the shop undercover and they collected evidence and discovered that trucks were shipping the shop's grains to open markets.[8] Sampat Pal and the gang reported the evidence to local authorities and demanded that the grain be returned to the fair-price shops.[8] The local authorities ignored their complaints and once again another case went unreported.[8]
In 2008, they stormed an electricity office in Banda district and forced officials to turn the power back on, which they had cut in order to extract bribes.[9] They have also stopped child marriages and protested dowry and female illiteracy.[3] In 2007, a woman of the lower dalit cast was raped by a man of a higher caste and the incident went unreported.[8] The villagers and members of the lower caste protested to no avail and many of them were put into prison for doing so.[8] The Gulabi Gang took action, charged into the police station and attempted to free the villagers who were put into prison for protesting.[8] They also demanded that a case be made against the rapist and when the policeman refused to make a case, they resorted to violence and physically attacked him.[8] Since this incident, the Gulabi Gang was known to use physical violence if needed to make a point and if physical violence was of no use, then they would resort to publicly shaming the offender.[8]
Al Jazeera reported that the group have an estimated 400,000 members as of 2014; the Hindustan Times put the figure at 270,000.[10][11]
The Gulabi Gang earned the Kelvinator 11th GR8! Women Award, an award offered by the Indian Television Academy.[5] They also earned the Godfrey Phillips Bravery Award for social bravery, offered in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi.[5]
On 2 March 2014, Sampat Pal Devi was relieved of her role at the head of the Gulabi Gang amidst allegations of financial impropriety and putting her personal interests before those of the group.[12]
In popular culture[edit]
The Gulabi gang is the subject of the 2010 movie Pink Saris by Kim Longinotto[13] as is the 2012 documentary Gulabi Gang by Nishtha Jain.[14][15]
Initially, it was reported that the Bollywood film, Gulaab Gang, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla as leads, was based on Sampat Pal's life, but the director denied this, saying that he admired her work but that the movie was not based on her life.[16][17]

WEST PARK, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Florida teenager stole a hearse as mourners attended a funeral.
The Broward Sheriff's Office reports that an 18-year-old man jumped into a black hearse parked outside a West Park church Wednesday morning and drove off.
The report says the teen stopped at his house and asked relatives if they wanted to go for a ride in a hearse. Deputies eventually spotted it heading back toward the church and gave chase.
When deputies tried to take the suspect into custody, authorities say he drove toward one of them and was shot in the leg, but kept driving. The funeral was still in progress when the teen got back to the church. He was arrested and taken to a hospital for his injury.
