@boatyardBoy Sorry to hear it.
Are you using "featured thumbnail" in the post-edit sidebar to set one of the thumbnails?
Can you point to one of the sad smiley's you get?
I insert the image into the post and also click use as featured image which loads it into the sidebar on the post screen.
Here it is on my profile:
Here it is on my page:
I also noticed that it only shows the featured image with notes on my profile and not the page...
It shows in the app exactly like it used to.
I see the featured image, did something change?
On the posts titled "example sad smile" on both the page and the profile it just shows :( smiley, you can scroll down a few posts to see it. I have purposely left it there for you to see.
I have reverted back to 2.013 presently as i need to get content on.
How big are your post thumbnails / featured images?
(WordPress settings -> Media)
160 x 160 are the thumbnail settings.
It works perfectly in 2.013.
I upload the flyer image for the event to the main content area and while the media options are popped up i click "use for featured image" and it loads it into the add post right sidebar, click publish and everything is all good.
I do it exactly the same in 2.1 and it displays the sad smile instead of the thumbnail in facebook.
Can you see the sad smiley in facebook on the post "example sad smile" if you follow the title link it shows a larger image of what the thumbnail should look like...
Hmm. In 2.0.13 we weren't using the 'featured image' API at all - we were just grabbing the first available image attached to the post.
Maybe we can go back to that as an option - but I'd rather get the 'featured image' (or what used to be called "post thumbnail" in 2.9) working - that would let users set it specifically for that purpose.
Does your WordPress theme show the "featured image" somewhere, or do you only see it in the backend post editor?
Ok i have justed tested.
My theme will take the featured image first, if there is no featured image it takes the first attached image to the post. It can also take from a custom field.
It does use the plugin "get the image" I don't know if that could be conflicting with wpbook version 2.1 featured images or not.
Hmm. WPBook is trying to use get_the_post_thumbnail() - which should not be impacted by the theme so long as you've defined one for each post.
Maybe WPBook needs to more specifically request it's own size thumbnail?
I have defined a featured image thumbnail for every post.
I have also noticed the same happen on another plugin.
"wp facebook like" when the like/recommend button is clicked the post it creates in facebook has the same sad smiley face next to it.
I dont know if maybe there is a conflict or if this was just a coincidence.
Good day.
I am having this same issue after I upgraded as well.
Beofer the upgrade i would select a featured image for every post and that would be used in facebook
Now there seems to pull a random image not too sure why.
my blog http://www.thomas.fraley.me/blog
Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/tfraleyprofile
I run Arthemia Premium theme.. normaly set two images one main one for my own blog which i do useing the customs feild
I add Name(Image) Value (/uploads/2011/03/willitblend.jpg) to get my main image then i set that same image as my feature image this way my blog and facebook uses the same iamge.
Any suggestions on a work around for this for now made a few posts today before i relised this
It's not a coincidence - when the post-to-the-wall doesn't include an image, Facebook instead visits the url and picks an image. FB like does the same thing - if you haven't added the FB metadata identifying which image should be used it picks one.
How it chooses which one to use I've no idea.
So the issue is why WPBook is either failing to find the "featured image" for the blog post(s) in question, or WPBook is finding the image but when it tries to post the image as an attachment to the Facebook wall FB ignores it.
any way of disabling this for the time being until it's fix'd? would rather have no image then the wrong one.
Unfortunately, not really. You could comment out the section which tries to get the post thumbnail but then FB will just grab a random image anyway.
I will need to add some debugging to try to figure out where this is breaking down.
Thanks for helping me with the ssl problem earlier today. I've also have this problem with the image.
Test the 2.1.2 update.
OK this worked for me.
Some notes though. Looking at the check permissions section there is a new permission thats wasn't there caleld "Manage pages" was set to no.
This produced an error until I regranted permissions for the userID then manage pages got set to yes and it worked.
Just and FYI
Worked for me, thanks!
I'm using 2.2.2 and I'm having this problem as well. But...I'm not using a featured image. I am using WP 3.1's Post Type feature and so my posts are of type "image". They contain an image and the "normal" text post below it. It's for my Project:365 site:
Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/vjlphoto/
This screenshot shows how my latest post is setup in the backend:
I'm unable to link a pre-existing URL to the featured image; attempting, after the fact, to upload the photo of the day into the "set featured image" section doesn't appear to work as the FB app doesn't update the post with the image. I can try later today [Tuesday] and set the featured image *before* I publish the post. I'd rather WPBook use the image in the 'image' custom field though.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide!
The issue is that WPBook is looking for posts of the type "post" not custom post types like "image."
Specifically, in wpbook/includes/publish_to_facebook.php you'll find this (at lines 75-77 in the current version):
if(get_post_type($my_post->ID) != 'post') { // only do this for posts
You'd need to modify this, perhaps to:
if((get_post_type($my_post->ID) != 'post') && (get_post_type($my_post->ID) != 'image')) { // only do this for posts or images
The logic here is a negative - if post type is *not* 'post' AND post type is *not* 'image' then return (which means don't post it to facebook).
If you do that, and you also set the 'featured image' you should get the result you're after, though I haven't tested this myself as I don't have 'image' posts.
If you want wpbook to use your custom 'image' field, you can either write your own function to filter the 'wpbook_attachment' or you can edit lines 115-128 of publish_to_facebook.php which is where that attachment image gets set - Facebook is expecting a URL reference:
if (function_exists('get_the_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail($my_post->ID)) {
$my_thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id($my_post->ID);
$my_thumb_array = wp_get_attachment_image_src($my_thumb_id);
$my_image = $my_thumb_array[0]; // this should be the url
(I took out all the debug blocks - otherwise that's essentially the function which retrieves the URL of the "featured image" for the current post stored in $my_post->ID.
You can just comment out those lines and add a function which puts the URL of your custom image in the $my_image variable and you should be golden.
Let me know how it works for you.
(Unfortunately this is the kind of customization you'll need to reapply when upgrades of WPBook get released. In future versions I may handle the question of "post types" but I'm not sure how to handle the thumbnail issue - I had hoped by using a built in WordPress function like post thumbnails to have covered the broadest set of potential use cases).
If you did set the "featured image" before posting, WPBook will use it (once you've dealt with the post types issue above).
Wow...! Thanks, John, for the great advice, above! For some reason, I didn't get notified of your post so I only saw it now. I haven't applied any of the alterations yet, but I shall [and you/Charity Water will be seeing a donation in a few minutes :) ].
I did remember on Tuesday evening to upload a featured image with my normal post. Even though the theme doesn't use it to display anything in the front-end, it is provided in the backend so I used it, and the FB Wall post did show the correct thumbnail [which is awesome, since it normally picks a random photo which doesn't correspond to the caption/post posted on FB]. I believe this also means when folks "Like" or "Share" [via other plugins], the correct thumbnail will also be used. Because I hadn't made the modification to the plugin, the featured image didn't get carried over into the FB app itself via WPBook, but I'll go ahead and do that later today, before Thursday's photo of the day is uploaded.
I've had to edit other plugins for customization stuff, so I'm used to having to be careful upon upgrades. Thank goodness for SVN. :)
I'll let you know the results of this later Thursday or Friday. Thanks again for the detailed explanation and code examples! They are much appreciated!

We arrived at our hostel and had to wait a few hours because someone else was in our room. We did get a quick tour and a chance to use the facilities. We made triple checked on numerous sites (including their official site) and all listed that this hostel accepted credit cards so we booked with a deposit. It turns out they did not accept our card so didn't end up staying and LOST OUR DEPOSIT on the hostel. A minor inconvenience but an inconvenience nonetheless; losing money is never good.

Ex-Goldman Director Gupta Loses Wiretap Suppression Bid
Rajat Gupta, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. director indicted on insider trading charges, won a court order requiring prosecutors to share information from securities regulators that might help show he's innocent and lost a bid to suppress wiretap evidence.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in New York, who is presiding over both Gupta's criminal case and a parallel suit brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, ordered the SEC to turn over memos and notes on interviews of 44 witnesses to prosecutors for review. Rakoff said that if prosecutors find evidence that can be used to exonerate Gupta, it must be turned over to the defense team.
"Where the government and another agency decide to investigate the facts of a case together -- such as in these 44 witness interviews -- the government has an obligation to review the documents arising from those joint efforts to determine whether" some material must be disclosed, Rakoff wrote.
Five pretrial rulings by Rakoff in the criminal case were made public yesterday, including one denying Gupta's bid to dismiss three of the counts in his indictment on the grounds they were vague or duplicative.
In a separate filing, prosecutors disclosed additional details about their case against Gupta, who is accused of passing tips to Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam about earnings at Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble Co., where Gupta was also a director.
Prosecutors yesterday named two Galleon traders who they say participated in a conspiracy with Gupta and Rajaratnam. The names of six other alleged co-conspirators were redacted under the judge's orders.
Cardillo, Horowitz
Gupta, the one-time McKinsey & Co. leader, was charged by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's office in October. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go on trial May 21. His lawyer. Gary Naftalis, declined to comment on Rakoff's rulings.
Rajaratnam, who was convicted of insider trading by a jury last year, is serving an 11-year prison term.
In the prosecution filing, assistant U.S. attorneys Reed Brodsky and Richard Tarlowe named former Galleon trader Michael Cardillo, and Ian Horowitz, Rajaratnam's personal trader, as two of the eight alleged co-conspirators in the insider-trading scheme.
Horowitz hasn't been accused of wrongdoing. Cardillo, who pleaded guilty in January 2011 to securities fraud and conspiracy, testified at the trial of Zvi Goffer, a former Galleon trader, Emanuel Goffer and Michael Kimelman. Cardillo hasn't been sentenced.
'Tangible' Benefit
Prosecutors also said Gupta's friendship and business relationship with Rajaratnam may have motivated him to pass tips to the hedge fund manager. After Gupta lost money in an investment with Rajaratnam, the U.S. said he continued to pass on inside information, hoping to recoup some or all of his losses.
"Gupta perceived Rajaratnam to be a billionaire and the head of a multi-billion dollar, highly successful hedge fund with significant connections around the world," Brodsky and Tarlowe wrote.
"As a result, Gupta anticipated that a strong personal and business relationship with Rajaratnam would benefit Gupta in tangible and intangible ways," prosecutors said.
Brodsky and Tarlowe also identified a total of nine different tips that Gupta allegedly passed to Rajaratnam from 2007 until Jan. 30, 2009.
Rakoff said in his ruling on the wiretaps that secret recordings by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during its investigation of the fund manager can be used in Gupta's prosecution for the same reason that U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell allowed their use in Rajaratnam's trial last year.
'No Arguments'
"Gupta offers no arguments different from the arguments Judge Holwell considered in the Rajaratnam case," Rakoff said. "He argues instead that Judge Holwell's conclusions are in error. The court disagrees."
Like Holwell, Rakoff said that wiretaps can be used to investigate wire fraud cases.
"The simple truth is that, in both this and numerous other cases, insider trading cannot often be detected, let alone successfully prosecuted, without the aid of wiretaps," Rakoff said.
Gupta's defense lawyers will still have an opportunity to challenge particular Rajaratnam wiretapped recordings before trial on the grounds that they shouldn't be admitted as evidence because he wasn't a participant in the conversations.
Questioning Blankfein
In another ruling, Rakoff also granted Gupta's lawyers two additional hours to question Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein under oath, as part of the SEC suit against Gupta and Rajaratnam.
Blankfein, a prosecution witness at the Rajaratnam insider-trading trial, was questioned by Gupta's lawyers on Feb. 24 as part of the parallel SEC lawsuit.
During the first session, SEC lawyers objected to questions posed by Naftalis about the government's preparation of Blankfein for his testimony, citing a legal rule barring Gupta from discovering information about the government's legal strategy and the thought processes of its lawyers.
Blankfein said during the February deposition that prosecutors and SEC lawyers prepared him for the session before he was questioned under oath by Gupta's lawyers, a transcript shows.
Gupta's Defense Team
Rakoff granted Naftalis permission to resume questioning Blankfein about these preparations and require the SEC to provide Gupta with the documents the U.S. showed Blankfein during the sessions.
Gupta also lost a bid for dismissal of a charge alleging that Rajaratnam bought at least 350,000 shares of Goldman Sachs in March 2007 after getting a tip from Gupta. His lawyers argued the count should be thrown out because the indictment didn't say he communicated with Rajaratnam before the trade.
Rakoff also denied a request by Rajaratnam to get access to any SEC memos after they have been reviewed by prosecutors and turned over to Gupta.
Gupta faces as long as 20 years in prison if convicted of any of the securities fraud charges against him and as long as five years if convicted of conspiracy. He also faces a fine of as much as $5 million, prosecutors said.
Revised Indictment
In a revised indictment filed in January, prosecutors expanded their description of the insider-trading scheme, saying it began in March 2007, not in 2008, as the U.S. alleged when Gupta was first charged in October.
Prosecutors also added a charge stemming from a March 12, 2007, conference call during which Goldman Sachs's pending earnings announcement was discussed. Gupta tipped Rajaratnam after listening to a Goldman Sachs board meeting while at Galleon's offices, the U.S. said.
The case is U.S. v. Gupta, 11-907, U.S. District Court, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Serving Citizen Warriors Since 1922
By Jenny Swigoda
ROA, Content Manager
In a letter today to General Raymond Odierno and General Frank Grass, Reps. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and Tim Walz, D-MN, sharply warned against denigrating the unique service of members in the Reserve Component.
The letter proceeded egregious statements by General Raymond Odierno, chief of staff for the Army, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., regarding the capabilities of the Reserve Components compared to their Active-Duty counterparts.
"The capabilities are not interchangeable," Defense News reported Gen. Odierno saying. "there's a reason why the Active Component is more expensive. It brings you a higher level of readiness, because they're full time. They are trained and ready to do things at a higher level because they spend every day focused on that. Our National Guard, [which has] done an incredible job in the last 10 years, trains 39 days a year."
The letter blasted this statement, calling it "disingenuous" to state that the Reserves only train 39 days out of the year, when that is the minimum. The two former service members (Hunter is a Marine Reservist; Walz is the highest ranking enlisted soldier to serve in Congress) spoke from experience, saying that there are other "training activities that put the total number of training days upwards of 90 to 100 days."
The letter further pointed to false statements that the Active Duty force somehow provides cost-saving measures in maintaining readiness. The Representatives pointed out that "the total cost to maintain one Active Component infantry brigade combat team is about twice that of the Reserve Component."

Mozilla Labs Launches Gaming Initiative
Platform based on open Web technologies.
Mozilla Labs announced its newest initiative, a gaming platform appropriately named Mozilla Labs: Gaming. The goal of the platform is to create browser-based games built on Open Web standards.
"We invite the wider community to play with cool, new tech and aim to help establish the Open Web as the platform for gaming across all your Internet connected devices," Pascal Finette from Mozilla Labs said.
Some of the technologies Mozilla Labs Gaming utilizes include webGL, touch controls, geolocation, Javascript, and open video and audio. Games built on HTML5 are available freely on sites like HTML5games.com, but with Mozilla's new initiative looks to advance games.
Mozilla Labs Gaming is also launching an international gaming competition to drive developer interest to the burgeoning platform. Aptly titled Game_On 2010, the competition will open at the end of September.

Prior to the two terrorist attacks, in Belgium, Donald Trump was the only candidate talking about Muslims being a potential threat to American's safety. He's called for temporarily stopping immigration from Muslim-majority countries. Now, Ted Cruz has joined in. He's calling for police surveillance of Muslim neighborhoods.
While President Obama was busy in Cuba making nice with the human-rights breaking Castro regime, Muslim terrorists were at work in Belgium bringing havoc to that country and the rest of Europe.

What do regulating puddles, attempting to ban popular ammunition, and making recess appointments have in common? They are all examples of attempts by President Obama to overstep his power and bypass Congress. But these are just a drop in the bucket when it comes to the pattern of overreach we have seen from the Executive Branch in recent years. On nearly every issue – from health care to farming – President Obama has used his pen and phone to rewrite the law on his own.
Last week, President Barack Obama fulfilled his constitutional duty and nominated a federal judge, Merrick Garland, for the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court.
Conservative Republicans in the Senate, who love to promote "upholding the Constitution," when it suits them, have announced that they will shirk their constitutional duties and not even provide a hearing for this nominee.
One again, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has made a fool of Barack Hussein Obama, something he has been doing on a regular basis over the last few years.
Early last fall, when Russian aircraft began bombing to support Bashar al-Assad's regime, the Obama administration was livid. Secretary of State John Kerry angrily predicted that Russia had waded into a quagmire.

The cast is varied enough to interest a wide number of viewers, and the technical quality is consistently good throughout. But the video is loosely tied together around the theme of working out, and although the episodes offer us wrestling, jogging, weight-lifting and calisthenics, there is little plot or character development to add cohesion. Nonetheless, the episodes are sensual as well as sexual, with something for everyone.

I have two monitors, 24" and 13" (laptop's, primary). I already use DisplayFusion and VistaSwitcher to ease the burden of this setup.
At the moment things work like this: whenever I open an application, it opens into the monitor it was positioned the last time. For some cases that's okay, and if the monitor is a wrong one, it doesn't take a second to pull the window from one monitor to another. Also, at least DisplayFusion lets me create rules for programs, if I like to.
But, not only am I not a huge fan of configuring every single software I'm about to use, but also there are numerous softwares which have many dialogs: to name one, GIMP (think about Filters). Also file save/open dialogs often go to the wrong monitor, forcing me to pause for a moment to realize what's going on.
That leads me to the question. Is there a software for or a build-in way in Windows 7 to force applications and dialogs to open to the active monitor - either the one that has the active window or the one mouse cursor is on? It doesn't matter if that's an option.
So far I haven't found a similar question from SO nor here. Even Google is powerless. Maybe this is impossible or useless feature or I'm just using wrong keywords, but hopefully someone is able to figure it out for me. Thanks.

Luis Suarez has been named as the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year, just weeks after winning the PFA Player of the Year.
The Uruguay striker has scored 30 goals this season for Liverpool as well as bagging 24 assists in all competitions.
After a controversial end to last season, the 27-year-old has turned things around this year, and has played a hugely important role in Liverpool's push for the Premier League title.
Partnering Daniel Sturridge up front, the duo became the first Liverpool strikers to each score 20 league goals in a season for 50 years.
It has emerged that Luis Suarez received 52 per cent of the vote from members of the Football Writers' Association.
It represents a double personal achievement for the Uruguayan, who was named PFA Player of the Year last weekend.
It's not just football writers who think more of Luis Suarez this year.
The Uruguayan is seen as being more likeable with members of the public.
A survey conducted by Repucom reveals that Luis Suarez is 7 per cent more likeable than he was this time last year.
Last season, 36.61 per cent of people in the UK were said to have liked Suarez. This year however, that figure is 43.62 per cent of the population, a rise of over 7 percentage points.
Just a reminder that other footballers are available.
I didn't vote for Suarez, I voted for Sturridge, but I'm wild and I don't even play by my own rules.— Iain Macintosh (@iainmacintosh) May 5, 2014
Our very own John Cross has revealed that he might have voted for Yaya Toure, which has gone down incredibly well with the Twitterati.
Lovely replies, thanks so much. Sorry for not voting for your player. Yes, I'm completely biased.— John Cross (@johncrossmirror) May 5, 2014
The Mirror's chief sports writer Ollie Holt reveals he voted for Luis Suarez.
I voted for Luis Suarez as the @theofficialfwa Footballer of the Year— Oliver Holt (@OllieHolt22) May 5, 2014
EXCLUSIVE: Luis Suárez calmly receives yet another award #LFC pic.twitter.com/HGY00mllkr— El Scouse (@elscouse) May 5, 2014
A growing number of Manchester City fans seem to be less than impressed at the outcome of the Football Writers' Association FOTY award.
With our own John Cross revealing that he voted for Yaya Toure earlier, we can reveal that 52 per cent of writers voted for Suarez.
Mark Ogden of the Daily Telegraph has responded to Manchester City fans who have been complaining about the outcome of the vote.
A few #mcfc fans not happy with outcome of vote, but it's one man, one vote, so hardly a conspiracy.— Mark Ogden (@MOgdenTelegraph) May 5, 2014
Martin Lipton reveals the thinking behind his vote:
I expect, now, Manchester City to win the title. If (when?) they do, the player most responsible for their triumph is the bloke who has scored 23 goals from central midfield, who monsters his opponents and is, at times, an unstoppable force of nature.
Luis Suarez is, unquestionably, a deserving Footballer of the Year. he has been magnificent for Liverpool and took them to the brink of glory. But Yaya Toure took City over that brink. That is why I voted for him.
Seem to have upset Man City fans on Twitter. Apparently they don't mind that Suarez won, they're miffed that Gerrard came second.
Didn't realise they were so preoccupied with second place, thought Man City were after the top spot.
I voted for Suarez.
I voted for him because the standard of his football has been so consistently brilliant this season. Steven Gerrard has had an excellent year, too, but the goals and the creativity of Suarez have made the difference for Liverpool.
I voted for Yaya Toure. It was so tight between Luis Suarez and Toure that I went for who is the most likely to win the title. If you'd asked me a few weeks back I'd have gone Suarez all day long.
Interesting statistics regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of Suarez, versus his team-mate Sturridge,
While Suarez has scored more goals, Daniel Sturridge has won more points for Liverpool this term.
If you take away Sturridge's goals from final scorelines, Liverpool would drop 18 points. For Suarez, it would only be 15 points.

basically how it actually would go.
Type: Posts; User: MilfHunter07
basically how it actually would go.
ya, im terrified of pinto as well.
wow, do you not have the ability to go back and read 1-2 pages back or is that to hard for you?
that was a disgrace tht we didnt have that gme on tv today
man do i hope we beat the **** out of the mets tomorrow.
no hes not right. taking words out of my mouth and putting words in my mouth are basically the same thing
good one. ive never heard something so original. did you come up with that one yourself?
man it would be great if you would read, what, maybe 2-3 pages ago?
no, that doesnt mean that at all. just stop talking.
first off idiot, i never said johnson was as good as santana. and 2nd off, we had 39,000 at the game tonight
either one would work. taking words out of my mouth meaning he is saying that i said something that i never said
its been 2 starts and the era should be lower but an error in his opening day start with 2 outs led to an adam dunn 3 run bomb but for some unknown reason it was changed to a hit which it shouldnt...
good one.
taking words out of my mouth again, when did i say we wont have any problems?
nolasco and johnson are both aces, even the scouts agree with me there.
ross is a very solid hitter, and as you've seen, bonifacio is a great leadoff man, maybin will probably have a r.o.y....
haha, sucks to be gonzalez. great to see amezaga. would have liked to see him get more ab's higher then a ball
in the 2 years hes been here, hes never had arm problems and hes had very little control issues
he doesnt have bad control. having shoulder stiffness because of pitching in the wbc and he will be fine.
when did i say there is no room for improvement
ronnie paulino on the marlins is slower than a turtle
and we have johnson going. you'll be lucky to get on base 3 times over the course of his outing
good thing nobody cares what you would be surprised to see
of course it isnt. doesnt mean it is horrible like yours was last year. when lindstrom gets healthy, he will be a solid closer, and nunez and calero will be very good set up menwith kensing pinto...
both games? you played our bad 5th starter and a guy who is only in our bullpen because we cant send him down
and like i said, i was wrong.
never ran my mouth when they won the first time

Throughout four Republican debates and plenty of campaign coverage, GOP presidential candidates have said little about how they would tackle climate change or protect the environment. Yet voters concerned about clean air, clean water and climate stability need only look to Congress to see what a Republican presidency could mean for public health and environmental protection.
Since gaining a majority, GOP lawmakers have tried to eviscerate the bedrock environmental laws that have protected America's air, water and health for decades. The public doesn't support these efforts. And the veto pen has killed any serious threats that have made it through the entire Congress. But proposing and passing dirty bills sends a powerful message (including to super PACs—many funded by polluting industries) that if a Republican is in the White House environmental laws will be gutted.
The Republican-led attacks in Congress have intensified as primary season nears. The Senate just passed a resolution that would kill the new Clean Water Rule, which restores protections for America's streams, lakes and wetlands. That was followed by a vote this week on a resolution to wipe out the Clean Power Plan. And tensions are mounting over policy riders to funding bills that limit the federal government's ability to safeguard against reckless fracking and conservation measures for endangered species.
Republicans will lose all of these battles. President Obama has promised to veto their anti-environmental bills and Republicans don't have the votes to override those vetoes. Though they may slip a few riders through, their assault appears destined to fail this year—as it has in the past.
Yet many bills undercutting public health and environmental protections have garnered nearly 100 percent support from Republican lawmakers and less than 5 percent from Democrats. While some were blocked in the Senate, many of those bills would have become law if Obama had lost.
None of the leading Republican presidential candidates have offered a positive agenda for preserving the environment. Instead, they have embraced the party's conservative hostility to any form of regulation—including those that keep pollution out of the air we breathe and the water we drink. When asked about the EPA, Donald Trump said simply, "What they do is a disgrace." Even supposed "moderates" such as Jeb Bush and Chris Christie oppose the Clean Power Plan.
And yet, this return to darker, dirtier days is not what the vast majority of Americans want.
Voters of both parties want to provide their families with clean air and water, public lands to explore and home towns safe from extreme floods, drought and other hallmarks of climate change.
A full 94 percent of Democrats and 68 percent of Republicans favor the Clean Water Rule protections for headwater streams and wetlands, according to a survey from Hart Research Associates. And 90 percent of Americans back the Endangered Species Act, according to a recent poll, and support stretches across the political spectrum.
Meanwhile, poll after poll after poll shows the vast majority of Americans want leaders to tackle climate change. And most Republican voters support clean energy. Seven in 10 conservative voters in early primary states want the next president to have a clean energy plan, and three-quarters of those voters want their state to submit a plan to comply with the Clean Power Plan, according to a survey by American Viewpoint.
The current GOP initiatives in Congress would block the very protections most voters support. But they would make life easier for polluting industries. Oil, gas and coal interests have spent billions of dollars in the past few years to elect and influence ideological lawmakers who will eviscerate our nation's safeguards and halt climate action.
Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail are letting polluting companies know what they can expect from future GOP leadership. Americans should take note and vote for their own public interest—not dirty polluters.

Their male third wheel, ever present and encouraging them on, soon joins in and plunges deep into both. Following some slapping and quasi-rough play, they obediently open wide for a massive spunky splash which then gets shared by both lasses.

Well, it's not really the reporters' fault - aside from the ones who think a typo on page 4563 of the latex manual is highly critical, it's just generally impossible to know what to set for either field because we have absolutely no policy on it.

CRUGER, JAMES F. (?–1874). James F. Cruger, merchant and publisher, the brother of Jacob W. Cruger, accompanied his brother and Francis Moore, Jr., to Texas in 1836 from Danville, New York. After settling in Houston, they first engaged in the mercantile business, but James Cruger was soon alone when his brother and Moore entered newspaper work and purchased an interest in the Telegraph and Texas Register. Though Cruger remained in the store, he later spent much of his time assisting his brother in his newspaper enterprises. In 1841 his name was substituted for that of his brother as publisher of the Houston Morning Star,qv and at this time the Star changed from a daily to a triweekly edition. Cruger died in Houston in 1874.

Justices' Disagreement Strengthens CourtBy THE EDITORIAL BOARD |
Some issues, such as abortion, euthanasia and capital punishment, evoke hard line and devout positions. People are divided in their views on these topics and their beliefs are often firmly entrenched.

I can't remember the last time I was as excited about a cookbook as I have been about The Homemade Flour Cookbook, written by Erin Alderson of Naturally Ella, just published a few weeks ago. (And you know I get excited about a lot of cookbooks.) It's not only because it's by one of my favorite bloggers, someone who is at once wildly talented and also the opposite of self-important. When you sit down with Erin, like we got to last year, you find out she's funny and honest about her own shortcomings and, only after quite a bit of talking do you realize, also one of the most hard-working people you know. When we met her, she was a teacher and a blogger and planning her wedding and getting ready to move and writing a cookbook. You know, no big deal. She has since turned in a second manuscript for what will be her second cookbook, but if you're reading this and thinking she's Superwoman, all you have to do is read posts like this one or this one to hear her pop all bubbles of pretension, … [Read more...]
Boston Cream Doughnuts (Gluten-Free)
Earlier this week, I read an Anne Lamott article in which she says a few things so well, I don't think anybody again will ever say them better. ("There were entire books written on the subject of the overly sensitive child. What the term meant was that you noticed how unhappy or crazy your parents were." // "Any healthy half-awake person is occasionally going to be pierced with a sense of the unfairness and the catastrophe of life for ninety-five percent of the people on this earth." // "One of the hardest lessons I had to learn was that I was going to need a lot of help, and for a long time.") As a writer, there are two ways you can respond when you read an article like that. You can be happy such good writing exists, resonating in different sentences with what you've seen to be true, written in a way that cuts to the point—or you can be bummed out, because, hello, you weren't the one creating it. This, of course, goes for more than writing. … [Read more...]
On Banana Bread (but not really just banana bread)
Like cookies and reading and the beginning of spring, banana bread is something I would tell you I've loved a long, long time. In this blog's infant years, I baked Joy of Cooking banana bread, Boston bakery banana bread and a banana bread with streusel topping that stole my heart. I baked Mrs. Newman's banana cake and, a month into marriage, banana muffins. I've baked banana bread waffles and, more recently, sourdough banana bread French toast. I love banana bread; I get banana bread; when it comes to banana bread, what is there that's left to know? But then a few weeks ago, some friends had us over for dinner and served homemade banana bread for dessert, saying quickly that it was "half almond flour and half quinoa flour" and made with "almond milk instead of regular milk," and, a few bites in, I was looking at banana bread in a whole new way. Afterward, I, of course, went home and, two days later, pulled out (yet another) a beloved banana recipe, revising ingredients as I stirred … [Read more...]
Lemon Almond Coconut Macaroons
Edit: I wrote this post before the Newtown tragedy Friday afternoon, but, reading back over it now, I'm struck by how much I need the reminder all over again---to look for the good in people helping, praying, loving; to recognize the darkness that brings murder and heartbreak and how it is so not at all the voice of Light. It feels wrong not to acknowledge the pain that the affected families of children and teachers are facing today. We wish we could do more. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Newtown. Some days, I'm overwhelmed by the lack of love in the world: the snubbing, the name-calling, the pushing, the overlooking, the thoughtlessness human beings show to one another. For as many of you as relate to a genuine curiosity and interest in other people like I mentioned in the last post, there are others who don't, who never turn their eyes outward, who come to the party and talk but never listen, who sit near you at a table and stare sullenly ahead, who learn your name … [Read more...]
Ashley Rodriguez's Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you didn't catch Ashley Rodriguez's October Not Without Salt post featuring cherry chocolate chip cookies, you really missed out---and I say that not just because of the killer cookie recipe, but also because of the thoughtful writing on perfectionism and art and creative work that surrounded it. A riff on Ashley's previously posted THE chocolate chip cookie, these cherry chocolate beauties are part toasted almond flour, part wheat (or, in our case, einkorn); made with ground flax and water instead of an egg; and studded with cherries and chopped chocolate throughout. … [Read more...]
Sunday Lunch with Louie Abellera + Gluten-Free Almond Cake
I have this photographer friend Louie. I met him through Becky, the friend who was with me the first time I met Tim, and I've been following his Tweets and Instagrams and blog ever since that one random afternoon sitting across from him at Burger King or McDonald's, watching him eat chicken nuggets, before the three of us went someplace else. Louie's a cool kid---I say kid because, people, Louie is all of 22, as in the age I was when I started grad school, the age at which the only things I'd ever published were local newspaper articles about book clubs and town meetings, the age when I didn't know much about cooking, much less about cooking and writing about it on a food blog. But Louie's 22 looks a lot different than mine did, and he's a crazy-good photographer shooting, get this, upwards of 20 weddings a year. So when he came into town last week from Chicago, asking for some help expanding his food portfolio, we were only too happy to have him over for our regular Sunday lunch with … [Read more...]
Blueberry Cookie Dough Truffles (Gluten-Free)
(We're still away visiting family, but we couldn't wait to share this recipe with you. With any luck, we'll be making it again in Chicago!) We're walking through the grocery store, and Tim's telling me about this idea he has for using up the case of blueberries in our cart (because apparently it's an annual tradition). "It'd be like a cookie," he's saying, "but you wouldn't bake it, and there'd be blueberries mixed inside. Then, we'll dip them in chocolate!" I hear my mouth say something like OK even as I'm rounding another aisle on the hunt for flour, but honestly, all I'm thinking about is cracking open a pint as soon as we can get in the car. In the checkout line, when our cashier inquires about our blueberry plans, Tim's ready. "Well, we'll bake some, we'll eat some and then we'll freeze some!" he tells her, as excited as it were a conveyor belt of diamonds and rubies, not berries, that we are sending down the line. And minutes later, as we're feasting on fistfuls of … [Read more...]

it's easier to pass something that encourages behavior in the form of a tax rather than a prohibition completely.
Your funyon/manwich comment belies your prejudice against the working poor. How progressive of you.
You took the bait, simpleton. God, you all are easy.
What BA said. Also, it makes it easier to repeal and politicians can backpedal to their angry constituents.
what number 2 says. good riddance josh.
Does Erica and Josh write the stuff for the "Uptight Seattlite" in the Seattle Weekly?
Yup, no bags. Just stuff the shit down your pants. Makes sense to me.
@3, how *clever* of you to include bait in your post. I understand Rush Limbaugh is always looking for *funny* douchebags like you to write his stuff.
Misapplied snark, sir.
In Europe they just don't hand out free bags. If you find yourself at the grocery store without bags you have to buy them.
And Europe is obsesssed with the struggling 'working classes'.
But gimme a goddamn break... Buying like 8 bags for maybe $1.50 each which will be good for a long time? $12 a year in bag-tax? Such whining is completely ridiculous.
i've yet to see anyone represent "the people" in this argument who actually are the people. honestly, i've only seen those who think this is the government telling/forcing us how to live say, "but it's unfair to the poor."
poor and rich alike have to pay for the actual cost of something. both have been getting a free ride on plastic bags, and it has to stop.
often poor, "food insecure", households make decisions to buy food like funions and manwich. its cheap, filling, and tasty. its also why we see "obesity" linked to food insecurity. this article talks about coping mechanisms. as well, food along with smoking and drinking can be a coping mechanism for life stress that disparately affects the low income.
I got an idea - don't outlaw the bags.
Instead, make it a refundable deposit - say 10 cents a bag.
You bring back a bag, you pay 0 cents.
You don't brink back a bag, you pay 10 cents.
Problem solved.
And, bonus points, poor people can replace theirs dumpster diving in the recycle bins of people who don't bring back bags.
I was thinking about this measure the other day when I bought 3 items for lunch at Ralph's. They asked me if I wanted a bag, I said no as I didn't really need one. What if did? I'm not really in the mood to be buying a resuable bag at every store I go to that sells groceries. I'm not going to carry a reusable bag everywhere I go every day. I don't think I would really care about paying 20 cents for a bag at Ralph's, but I'm in the minority there. So we start paying 20 extra cents more frequently. Problem not solved.
ps i also support either banning or taxing the bags...even though they can be useful
flaccid is a much better word.
Well, when you're using CoinStar for grocery money, every penny counts. Your Manwich joke shows you've never been that low...that shit costs like $3 per can. I've been there before, and I'd be pissed if my bologney money was being wasted on City Hall's latest attempt at social engineering.
Oh dear - I leave town and miss a good grocery bag vs. the people arguement.
Decades ago, we had a similar moronic debate back in Iowa when they adopted the nickel deposit on cans and bottles. Grocery store spokespeople and other special interest shills shed photogenic tears and spoke tenderly about "working families" and what a burden it would be on them.
It was all bullshit of course: Almost overnight, the park by our house got 90% cleaner, and real lower income folks (children, college kids, seniors) had a new source of income by picking up cans.
Of course, Iowa also jettisoned the idiotic state run liquor stores at about the same time, and we're nowhere near doing that here, so I don't have much hope for getting rid of the bags. I do like Will's idea, however. We'd just need thicker bags, because the ones they give out now hardly last until you get home.
A very high percentage (easily 90% or more) of my grocery shopping is done after hopping off the bus on the way home after work. Does anyone really think I'm going to walk around all day with a bunch of bags just so I can use them at the end of the day?
@Will in Seattle - You're from Michigan, aren't you?
When I was a kid, I used to take back all the coke bottles collected for profit! Yes, I know my parents paid for them, but still.
And, I do appreciate that reasoning. And, I hope you can return bags for recycling to get 10 cents each. That system rocked.
@17 -- did you just say the poor use coin star? well, if they counted their change they would have more than enough to pay for bags. coin star takes almost 10%!!!! every penny counts!
if every penny counted, the person would presumably make better choices. it is not the city's duty to make laws so that people can still make their poor choices.
@19: No, but you can carry around $0.20 - $0.40 with you, right?
What? You're saying you don't want to carry empty bags with you all day? You're saying you don't have time to go home and then go back to the grocery store which is right next to the bus stop? Why, you live in Seattle, right? You have all the time in the world, since you take the bus which is the fastest transportation known to man, and you work in the city!
Infrequent --
No, I said I've used Coin Star. Have you ever been forced to shell out $10 in dimes and nickles with a mob of people behind you? It's fucking humiliating, due to judgemental elitists like yourself who rationalize their worldview with deserving-poor arguments such as the one you just made.
A ban is an attempt to control and coerce. A tax, if properly implemented, is merely an attempt to reflect the true cost of the transaction involved to the general public, and that serves the purpose just fine. Grocery bags aren't inherently evil; irresponsible and indiscriminate use of them is.
Did I miss something? I thought the mayor wants to tax ALL bags while the legislature just wanted to do away with plastic ones.
Anyway, the state leg idea seems better me (cause paper decomposes much better), especially if you can dictate the percentage of post-consumer content in the paper bags. The price of extra recycled materials in the paper bags could be passed on to the consumer by retailers, ideally not passing it on to those who bring their own bag.
tax the shit out of the bags, or get rid of them. seriously I can't believe all of these people are whining that they might have to carry bags around with them. As long as the tax goes to something good and relevant, like cleaning up parks or green power or something. I'm poor as shit and I still carry my bags around. Stores are obsessed with individually bagging, and double bagging things.
The real question is, WHY? Bags are trivial, and you're only talking about a portion of the bags. What about the produce bags? No one's talking about banning them.
The fact is, supermarket bags contribute ALMOST NOTHING to pollution, and banning them does ALMOST NOTHING in the real world -- but it does do a lot for the droopy egos of SUV liberals unwilling to think about real actions that matter.
they should tax bags as a % of your final price; 1% of total per bag. 35 dollars worth of groceries, 35 cents per bag.
we should tax fnarf by the word he posts here.
ban toilet paper and susbsidize banana leaves.
Nic @ 24 -
You rock. Pity your words will fall on deaf (and appallingly elitist) ears...
I just stopped using plastic grocery bags as soon as I found out about the mayor's plan, figuring it would be good to build the habit of carrying my own bags before I start getting charged for not doing so. And you know what? It's no big deal and it's not that inconvenient at all.
It's nothing major and it doesn't have the impact that, say, congestion pricing might have, but since the mayor is hell-bent on paying lip service to environmentalism with this proposal, might as well get used to it, because in all likelihood it will become official policy.
Coinstar is a huge ripoff. I had a credit union once that had a free coin counting machine for members. Shouldn't any decent bank have one too? I use U.S. Bank now, but I haven't been into a branch in so long I don't know if they have them.
please, nic is only feeling humiliated because he allows himself to be. I always took glee in using several dollars in coins to buy food when I was more poor.its a pety spiteful way to stick it to pety spiteful people
This fucking plastic bag debate is driving me crazy. I'm going to start asking stores to double bag my stuff in plastic bags with one item in each bag. I'm going to climb in my gas guzzling environment killing SUV and drive miles out of my way just to collect more plastic bags. My evil powers will grow as I collect more and more plastic bags and soon I will be kicking puppies and slapping grandmas. See, see what you are doing to me?
please, nic is only feeling humiliated because he allows himself to be. I always took glee in using several dollars in coins to buy food when I was more poor.its a pety spiteful way to stick it to pety spiteful people
#28, everyone knows taxes are a conspiracy to make the poor poorer, and everyone knows the poor don't buy produce because... they're fucking poor that's why! So there's no point in taxing produce bags.
@20 - no, I used to collect pop bottles in Pennyslvania - got 5 cents a bottle. (yes, lived in MI and TX as well as BC).
Plus, just think of it as a tax on dog poo. Of course, this will mean more dog poo ...
I started using reusable bags once stores offered cheap ones ($1) for sale. until then i had only really seen those canvas bags that last forever but cost $15.
my bags might not last indefinitely but the economic difference was astronomical, and i've been using them for a year now with no visible wear.
Manwich?!? That stuff's esspensive, dude... I can tell you haven't priced a can of it lately....
A yummy yummy big ol' can o'Manwich..... mmmmmmm.........
Oh, hi @17....
Didn't see you standing there.....
@36, don't forget to blow some of that dreaded second-hand smoke in their faces while you're at it.
nic, please! you too, mr x. i've been poor and i've counted out ten dollars in change before. when every penny counts, you make every penny count. or at least, you should. the only judging here is you two judging me. get off it and get over yourselves.
i want everyone to pay the true cost. sure it's not much (and fnarf, i'm all for more being done; more that matters), but it's a start.
coin star! you're too embarrassed to pay with change? i would separate dollars into each pocket. a dollar of dimes in the left front jean, a dollar of nickels in the right front jean, two dollars in quarters in the right jacket, etc...
you don't get out of paying the cost of something because you are "forced" to use coin star because you're too embarrassed to pay with change.
it's just and excuse. and mr. x is the worst. this is not a negative. it is not a regressive tax. it is not even a tax on the lazy. it's responsible capitalism.
and any you fuckers listen to NPR today? they make plastic grocery bags that break down in 4 months. 4 FUCKING MONTHS! how about the mayor make businesses buy them?
no....let's let the man stick it to us....
God is my grocery bag.
This proposal doesn't exist in isolation - it's part of a larger pattern of punitive, picayune legislation coming out of City Hall, and the larger picture there is one that is increasingly classist, obnoxious and callously indifferent to the day-to-day lives of a lot of people.
So excuse me if I find this penny-ante nanny state B.S annoying - because it is.
You don't need to carry 6 or 12 bags on a daily basis, just 1 or 2, get a net bag like in europe and go to the grocery / market every 1-2 days and don't buy all that overly packaged and overly processed crap food buy fresh food. Substitute corn meal for doritos, get peanut butted and two apples instead of 10 individual microwavable "healty diet" 200=calorie boxes of pasta or chicken for lunch, then you don't need so many bags.
If people did this we'd have stores that are smaller, and closer, with fresher things like in Europe, making it easier to go more often. Our obsession with being able to have disposable bags and carrying home 12 bags at a time is just part of our industrialized food distribution system which makes us all teamsters, hauling around huge amounts of products and packaging then devoting huge amounts of home space (tres cher in la cite) for storage, and making us drive to large asphalt seas at huge big box stores that sell large packages of nonfresh food.
IT's all a vicious cycle. And yes we the majority have every right to make you change without an individual choice because this current ssystem sucks, is ugly unhealthy and irresponsible, and the
will do you good.
So buck up and stop whining and eat your vegetables which you should buy every day.
Like in "Europe"? You mean like France, where most people shop in Hypermarches that make Walmart look like a corner store? Carrefour, Auchan, Asda, Aldi, Hipercor, etc.
While you guys argued over plastic bags, a chief NASA scientist gave a presentation to the EU to the effect that even their most stringent carbon reduction plans won't be anywhere near enough -- As reported in the Guardian, Dr. Hansen's team used prehistoric climatic data to model a runaway greenhouse effect that could very well leave us with *all the ice* on Earth melting and a 246 high rise in sea level unless carbon emissions are cut drastically, and soon...
FYI, carbon emissions over the last decade are up three times over the previous one:
Maybe we can live on that floating plastic bag continent...?
Sorry -- should read "a 246 FOOT high rise in sea level"
Oh Mr. X, don't be such a bore. The "nanny state" is Limbaugh-esque bullshit.
Face the facts, dearest: We live in an increasingly overpopulated society - at least in the areas that are worth living in - thus the regulations on the stuff we throw away.
If you feel stifled by all this political correctness, I would be happy to buy you a one-way Greyhound ticket to Omaha, where you can find an ever-shrinking, but increasingly shrill, group of people that would agree with you. You'd be the hit of the after-work crowd at any of the Applebees. They'd probably even buy you an order of buffalo wings as a welcome wagon gift - especially if you throw around words like "punitive" and "picayune". Hell, they might even appoint you District Attorney! Them's big words.
I think you're normally way on the ball, but it isn't just right-wingers who have issues with the burgeoning (oops, another .50 cent word) nanny state. I was just as annoyed when the City banned swimming across the Fremont Cut (which I would never do) or when the State banned smoking in bars (which I didn't do either).
And I think picayune has a certain ring to it that hits the nail right on the head with regard to this stuff. I may have even used it way back when the Poster Ban was first passed...
...it's the a smaller symptom of the same mentality that brings you this...
That bag fee includes paper bags too, doesn't it? If the Mayor is so worried about the environmental impact of nominally recyclable paper, maybe there should be a 20¢ tax on the Stranger for people who don't want to read it on line? How about a tax on junk mail (paid by the sender of course), say $10 per piece.
@52: What's wrong with Omaha? It has a great indie rock scene, a lot of progressives and a large number of colleges.
Don't stop on my account: The Midwest always makes such a convenient straw man and whipping boy that I'd hate to take that away from you with something petty like facts.
The fact that you claim "supermarket bags" or "plastic bags in general" contribute "hardly nothing" to global pollution is one the the most ignorant and uneducated things I've seen on this forum yet.
There is an entire ISLAND somewhere floating in the ocean that is entirely composed of plastic bags- look it up. It's true. And it is only growing. HUGE percentages of landfills are composed of nothing but plastic bags.
Outside of the physical waste of plastic bags- do you even realize the air pollution production of these bags causes? It is practically immeasurable. And with such irresponsible and reckless use of them ,the production is high. THEN there is the pollution caused by recycling the bags- no one ever seems to understand just how toxic it is to melt them down and turn them into something else. The amount of energy it requires . . .
Do your research before posting something so insanely stupid.
The reasons are numerous and irrefutable why a ban or tax to force society to stop using these things is only going to benefit that society and the environment. IT IS NECESSARY.
A reusable canvas or plastic bag like they sell at Trader Joes for $.99 each folds up and easily fits in a backpack. I have two in the trunk of the car. Suddenly we find that we have almost NO plastic grocery bags in the house. We occasionally get a paper bag for trash, and they sell biodegradeable bags for picking up after the dog. Net effect? Our life is actually MORE convenient, because we don't have this mass of plastic grocery bags to deal with at home overflowing out from behind the fridge, We have less trash in general, and we're not adding as much to the number of plastic film bags that will never go away.
This is not an imposition on the poor, since 1 reusable bag would pay for itself in 3.5 trips.
@54: Adverse possession. Precedent. Tent City. Look up these and many other wonderfully useful terms at www.google.com.
mr x, perhaps our disconnect, then, is that you see this as a part of a whole, whereas i am evaluating it as its part: a single law. if i haven't been clear yet, i love how catalina vel-duray put it @52. this particular law is not nanny state, even if a law against swimming across the fremont cut is. and it's not economically regressive either.
Why can't people re-use the .20 plastic bags? Pay $1 in tax, skip the cost of "reusable" canvas/nylon bags and just hold on to your plastic ones...
It's not that hard. We use some nylon bags for most things, but we keep the bags you stick fruit/veggies in and reuse them over and over. I mean, you're going to wash the produce before you eat it anyway, so what's the difference?

Just transferred my site draperdesignonline.com from its own domain hosting account to a "deluxe" account on GoDaddy that could host more than one domain. Nightmare. I had downloaded all the files first and GD helped me restore the WP database. Then, they told me it would "repopulate" within a few hours. This morning when I checked, I had this message:
Warning: require_once(/home/content/94/9710994/html/DraperDesignOnline/wordpress/wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/94/9710994/html/DraperDesignOnline/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php on line 12
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/content/94/9710994/html/DraperDesignOnline/wordpress/wp-load.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php') in /home/content/94/9710994/html/DraperDesignOnline/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php on line 12
So based on that info, I tried to edit line 12 of the wp-blog-header.php file. This is what I changed it to:
* Loads the WordPress environment and template.
* @package WordPress
if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {
$wp_did_header = true;
require_once(home/content/94/9710994/html/DraperDesignOnline/wordpress/wp-load.php' );
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks! P.S., not sure I've selected the correct version. Set up the site in November with whatever version was current.

Recently updated to 3.2.1 on two outside hosted sites.
Prior to the update, we were (and continue to be) working on a couple of posts. Each article was awaiting approval from those mentioned in each. We had marked them 'Password Protected' and 'Pending Review'. All was working well.
After the upgrade, we found those posts publicly published, much to our chagrin, not to mention embarrassment.
Has anyone else noticed such events?

If 28-year-old Henry Wilson were not a designer, he would be a skipper. After one chaotic trip to the Milan furniture fair several years ago, Wilson began to question the necessity of producing new things in a "stuff"-saturated world. So he found a timber boat and sailed it from Spain to Thailand. After the trip, he says, he had gained some jarring perspective on the size of the world and his relative place in it.
Making existing things better is a common thread through Wilson's work. For "Things Revisited," his 2010 graduate collection for Design Academy Eindhoven, he developed clever, almost cheeky reinterpretations of classic objects. For instance, his take on the Anglepoise reenvisions a wartime task lamp with a glass shade and an LED light source. The Le Creuset trivet lid includes a bracket stand to enable the lid to double as a trivet. The leather Tolix chair cover, which he's begun producing himself in limited editions, adds a humanizing warmth to Xavier Pauchard's original 1934 design. Wilson's latest project is the A-joint, a new joinery system allowing anyone to put together strong structures with preexisting timber—a democratic update to the classic A-frame sawhorse.
While many of his Eindhoven colleagues are forging their careers in Europe, Wilson spots a ripe opportunity in Australia, his home country. "I see design's focus shifting to our region, and I'd like to nurture it," he says. He established his own studio in Sydney in 2010 and last year began collaborating with local designer Trent Jansen, harnessing abandoned retail spaces to jumpstart a Sydney design gallery. Known as Trent & Henry, the gallery also functions as a retail and workshop space dedicated to showcasing homegrown talent. As Australia continues to grow as a design hub, we won't be surprised to see Wilson commanding the helm.

Released: Oct 01st, 2002
Running Time: 117
Director: Zak Wylde
Company: Elegant Angel Productions
Cast: Slim Shady, Kaylynn, Brittany Skye, Vanessa Rubec, Tyler Wood, Olivia Saint, Sharon Wild, Pat Myne, Daisy Chain, Mark Ashley, Estelle Lawrence, Summer Storm
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Solid gonzo - make sure to stock it.
Spin the Bottle takes an in-depth look at the kind of party that happens in porn movies all the time, but never seems to take place in real life. Eight beautiful young babes and four dudes have gathered to play old school make-out games... only these pervs do more than kiss when the bottle points to them.
The set-up is pretty hokey, just an excuse to get the sex started, but most of the scenes heat up nicely. The strongest moments include Summer Storm's sloppy, spitty blowjob, Sharon Wild and Pay Myne's frantic, titty-twisting grudge fuck in the hall closet and a foursome with Brittany Skye and Estelle Lawrence both getting the royal d.p. treatment. Some less-than-inspired segments - the long, boring lesbo bath that closes the show and brace-faced Vanessa Rubec's by-the-numbers rutting with Tyler Wood - keep this vid from ascending the porno heights.
Production wise, it's functional: well-lit enough, but nothing particularly inspired. Director Zak Wylde knows what to focus on, but there's nothing groundbreaking here.
It's not going to change the face of porn, but Spin the Bottle's attractive young cast and some great moments make this a better than average gonzo outing.
