Like others, I would love to see an option to display categories. I get what that's complicated, so two thoughts:
- Just add category slugs as additional CSS classes on the list items - this would allow people to style them in a variety of ways (e.g. color coding, adding icons via CSS)
- Build some hooks into the plugin so that it could be easily extended by others without modifying the core plugin files.

The paper introduces some generalizations of Vapnik's (1982) method of structural risk minimization (SRM). As well as making explicit some of the details on SRM, it provides a result that allows one to trade off errors on the training sample against improved generalization performance. It then considers the more general case when the hierarchy of classes is chosen in response to the data. A result is presented on the generalization performance of classifiers with a "large margin". This theoretically explains the impressive generalization performance of the maximal margin hyperplane algorithm of Vapnik and co-workers (which is the basis for their support vector machines). The paper concludes with a more general result in terms of "luckiness" functions, which provides a quite general way for exploiting serendipitous simplicity in observed data to obtain better prediction accuracy from small training sets. Four examples are given of such functions, including the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (1971) dimension measured on the sample

DJ Gallo's Varsity Tailgate, Week 3
It's Week 3 of the college football season. Open up your laptop, and your trunk, and enjoy another edition of the Tailgate.
Game of the Week
Tennessee at No. 1 Florida -- 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS
People have been waiting for this game since Lane Kiffin vowed he would beat Florida and accused Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation. And Kiffin hasn't let up on the trash talk. Just recently he said he thinks all 11 Gators starters on the defensive side of the ball could play in the NFL. Ohhhhh, smack. SEC fans think ALL their players deserve to play in the NFL. Kiffin couldn't be more hated in Gainesville now.
One More Game of the Week
No. 19 Nebraska at No. 13 Virginia Tech -- 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN
Nebraska is 0-16 in road games versus teams ranked in the Top 20 since Tom Osborne left after the 1997 season. Virginia Tech has won 31 in a row versus ranked opponents at home. Something doesn't have to give.
And Yet One More Game of the Week
Florida State at No. 7 BYU -- 7 p.m. ET on Versus
BYU was the last team from outside the BCS to win a national title. That happened in 1984. Ironically, that win helped pave the way for the current BCS system, which makes it harder for outsiders to win it all. I like underdogs as much as the next guy, but if BYU won it all again, we might be stuck with a system so restrictive, the NCAA would require every championship game to be Ohio State or Oklahoma versus the SEC champion. Yuck.
Cupcake of the Week
Temple: Penn State is at the midpoint of its nonconference schedule -- a schedule that includes Akron, Syracuse, Temple and Eastern Illinois. As you know, every Penn State football broadcast includes the mandatory shot of the famous Creamery, the school's on-campus ice cream shop. But even the Creamery can't make anything as sweet as Penn State's schedule.
Cupcake Recipe of the Week
A delicious sweet treat. For extra sweetness, make them with Joe Paterno and Penn State director of athletics Tim Curley and ask for their secret ingredient. (Note: It's fear.)
Heisman Candidate in the Crosshairs
Tate Forcier, QB, Michigan: A few weeks ago, Rich Rodriguez was talking about playing three quarterbacks. Now some media folks have put Forcier's name in Heisman conversation. Luckily for Forcier, Michigan is home this week against Eastern Michigan. And it's a long-held Heisman rule: If you're playing a team with a direction in its name, your Heisman stock can only go up.
Tim Tebow Fact of the Week
Tim Tebow was born in Manila, Philippines. Tebow can still be President of the United States one day, though, because the Constitution allows for the children of American citizens born in U.S. territories. (See: John McCain.) Also, no one is going to tell Tim Tebow what he can and cannot do, especially not some old piece of paper.
Mascot Fact of the Week
Uga is an English bulldog. According to most dog books and Web sites, English bulldogs tend to be quite gassy, and many can't run or even walk normally without gasping for breath. It is advised that English bulldogs not be kept outdoors in hot and humid weather, lest they suffer heatstroke or have serious breathing complications. Be inspired, Georgia.
Tailgate Tip of the Week
Bring screw-cap bottles
This limits your selection, sure. But invariably someone at your tailgate will drink too much and try to twist off a pry-off. This leads to a nasty cut and lots of blood. No one wants some guy's blood in the dip.
Quote of the Week
Texas offensive lineman Chris Hall, on the Longhorns getting their first crack at Texas Tech since the Red Raiders ruined their BCS title game chances last year:
"Biblically, the Lord says: 'Vengeance is mine.' So you just leave that to the Lord."
I'm glad Chris Hall didn't help write "Pulp Fiction." That movie would have sucked.
Stat of the Week
8: Boise State has allowed only eight total points in its first two games, a school record. Way to ruin the fun-and-gun image of the WAC, Broncos.
Charlie Weis' Hot-Seat Temperature
Getting uncomfortable: Weis is under fire for choosing to throw the ball late in the game last week at Michigan when the Irish had the lead. But think about it, Irish fans: Weis used to make so many poor decision early in games that his late-game decisions didn't matter. This is actually a big improvement!
Lane Kiffin NCAA Violation of the Week
None: This is three weeks in a row without a violation, Mr. Kiffin. You're either going to have to start getting in trouble again or you're going to lose your weekly spot in the Tailgate. And I'm going to bill you for the overhead projector I bought.
Worst Game of the Week
Northwestern at Syracuse
Worst game of the week? Maybe not. It's just fun to say so, because most everyone in sports television went to one of these two schools, and those of us without perfect hair or booming baritones have to make fun of them when we can.
Yo Conference Joke of the Week
Yo conference is so weak, all its games are broadcast on the Big Ten Network. (I suppose that's more of a Big Ten joke, huh?)
Name of the Week
Brent Qvale, OL, Nebraska: Some people say offensive linemen only get their names called when they do something bad. And that may be true. But sometimes they don't get their names called because no one knows how to pronounce them.
Player of the Week
Aaron Corp, QB, USC: Freshman Matt Barkley is out with a shoulder injury, so Aaron Corp gets the nod for the Trojans against Washington. If Corp, a junior, plays well, could we see a quarterback controversy at USC? Or, more likely, could we see Corp leave early for the NFL, leading to a petulant Pete Carroll?
Stone-Cold Lock
Lane Kiffin's postgame press conference will be far more entertaining than the game.

Thousands feared dead in Haiti quake
Published: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 12:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 12:17 p.m.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haitians piled bodies along the devastated streets of their capital Wednesday after a powerful earthquake crushed thousands of structures, from schools and shacks to the National Palace and the U.N. peacekeeping headquarters. Untold numbers were still trapped.
Obama promises all-out relief effort in Haiti
JULIE PACE,Associated Press Writers
MATTHEW LEE,Associated Press Writers
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are laying out a massive military response to the Haiti earthquake, saying that ships, helicopters, transport planes and a 2,000-member Marine unit are either on the way or likely to begin moving soon.
Gen. Douglas Fraser, head of U.S. Southern Command, said Wednesday that one of the U.S. Navy's large amphibious ships will likely head to Haiti with a Marine expeditionary unit aboard. Fraser said other U.S. military forces are on alert, including a brigade, which includes about 3,500 troops.
Fraser said during a news conference with other U.S. officials that the Pentagon is "seriously looking at" sending thousands of Marines to assist with disaster relief efforts and security in Haiti.
President Barack Obama promised earlier Wednesday to mount an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort to help the people of Haiti overcome a "cruel and incomprehensible" tragedy."
The president said the relief effort is gearing up even as the U.S. government is working to account for Americans who were on the island nation when the disaster struck late Tuesday afternoon.
The initial contingent of 2,000 Marines could be deployed to the quake-ravaged country within the next few days to either help with emergency aid distribution or enforce law in order in conjunction with U.N. peacekeepers already there, Fraser said.
The general said that a U.S. aircraft carrier, the USS Carl Vinson, is also heading from Norfolk, Va., to the area and should arrive Thursday afternoon.
The dispatched troops would aim to keep the peace in the event of post-disaster unrest as part of a larger international effort overseen by the United Nations, whose peacekeeping operation headquarters was destroyed in the quake. About 100 U.N. personnel are believed to be trapped in the ruins of he building.
"It's going to be our assessments that are going to determine, in conjunction with (the U.N. mission) and the other international partners who are there, how best to deal with any security situations that come up," Fraser said.
"We don't know precisely what the situation is on the ground," he added. "So we're leaning forward to provide as much as capability as quickly as we can to respond to whatever the need is when we get there."
More immediately, Fraser's Miami-based Southern Command is also dispatching a team of 30 people to Haiti to support relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake and make way for additional military aid.
Officials said two C-130 aircraft were departing Wednesday for Haiti with the team of military engineers, operational planners, communications specialists and a command and control group. The Air Force is sending people to provide air traffic control and operations at the Port-au-Prince airport.
Coast Guard helicopters early Wednesday evacuated four injured U.S. Embassy personnel to a hospital at the Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Southcom did not release their names.
Fraser said the military is also sending units to get Port-au-Prince's airport secured and operating again. The airport is considered "operational," he said, but the facility's tower and other operations were damaged.
Fraser appeared with U.S. Agency for International Development administrator Rajiv Shah, the official named by Obama to coordinate American efforts in Haiti.
The president called upon all nations to join in helping stricken Haitians.
Obama spoke Wednesday in the White House Diplomatic Reception Room. Later, spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters the president had no plans to go to Haiti.
The president, who has been involved in ensuring a quick response since Tuesday night, said in a statement from the White House Diplomatic Reception Room that one of the government's top priorities is to quickly locate U.S. embassy employees and their families, as well as all other American citizens living and working in Haiti. He urged Americans trying to locate family members to contact the State Department at 1-888-407-4747.
Obama sought to show a swift and united disaster response with the United States as an assertive leader, but he said the effort must be an international one. "We are reminded of the common humanity that we all share," he said, with Vice President Joe Biden at his side.
The president outlined a series of steps to help the Haitian people and said the U.S. commitment to its hemispheric neighbor will be unwavering.
"We have to be there for them in their hour of need," the president said.
Obama adjusted his Wednesday schedule, canceling a jobs event in Maryland to better monitor the situation in Haiti.
Obama encouraged Americans who want to help to go to www.whitehouse.gov to find options for contributing to the aid effort.
President Rene Preval said he believes thousands of people were dead from Tuesday afternoon's magnitude-7.0 quake.
"Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed," Preval told the Miami Herald. "There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them."
Even the main prison in the capital fell, "and there are reports of escaped inmates," U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said in Geneva.
The Roman Catholic archbishop of Port-au-Prince was among the dead, and the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission was missing.
The international Red Cross said a third of Haiti's 9 million people may need emergency aid and that it would take a day or two for a clear picture of the damage to emerge.
At first light Wednesday, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter evacuated four critically injured U.S. Embassy staff to the hospital on the U.S. Naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the military has been detaining suspected terrorists for the last seven years.
President Barack Obama promised an all-out rescue and humanitarian effort, adding that the U.S. commitment to its hemispheric neighbor will be unwavering.
"We have to be there for them in their hour of need," Obama said.
Other nations — from Iceland to Venezuela — said they would start sending in aid workers and rescue teams. Cuba said its existing field hospitals in Haiti had already treated hundreds of victims. The United Nations said Port-au-Prince's main airport was "fully operational" and open to relief flights.
Aftershocks continued to rattle the capital of 2 million people as women covered in dust clawed out of debris, wailing. Stunned people wandered the streets holding hands. Thousands gathered in public squares to sing hymns.
People pulled bodies from collapsed homes, covering them with sheets by the side of the road. Passers-by lifted the sheets to see if loved ones were underneath. Outside a crumbled building, the bodies of five children and three adults lay in a pile.
The prominent died along with the poor: the body of Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot, 63, was found in the ruins of his office, said the Rev. Pierre Le Beller of the Saint Jacques Missionary Center in Landivisiau, France. He told The Associated Press by telephone that fellow missionaries in Haiti had told him they found Miot's body.
Preval told the Herald that Haiti's Senate president was among those trapped alive inside the Parliament building. Much of the National Palace pancaked on itself.
The international Red Cross and other aid groups announced plans for major relief operations in the Western Hemisphere's poorest country.
Many will have to help their own staff as well as stricken Haitians. Taiwan said its embassy was destroyed and the ambassador hospitalized. Spain said its embassy was badly damaged.
Tens of thousands of people lost their homes as buildings that were flimsy and dangerous even under normal conditions collapsed. Nobody offered an estimate of the dead, but the numbers were clearly enormous.
"The hospitals cannot handle all these victims," said Dr. Louis-Gerard Gilles. "Haiti needs to pray. We all need to pray together."
An American aid worker was trapped for about 10 hours under the rubble of her mission house before she was rescued by her husband, who told CBS' "Early Show" that he drove 100 miles (160 kilometers) to Port-au-Prince to find her. Frank Thorp said he dug for more than an hour to free his wife, Jillian, and a co-worker, from under about a foot of concrete.
An estimated 40,000-45,000 Americans live in Haiti, and the U.S. Embassy had no confirmed reports of deaths among its citizens. All but one American employed by the embassy have been accounted for, State Department officials said.
Even relatively wealthy neighborhoods were devastated.
An AP videographer saw a wrecked hospital where people screamed for help in Petionville, a hillside district that is home to many diplomats and wealthy Haitians as well as the poor.
At a destroyed four-story apartment building, a girl of about 16 stood atop a car, trying to see inside while several men pulled at a foot sticking from rubble. She said her family was inside.
"A school near here collapsed totally," Petionville resident Ken Michel said after surveying the damage. "We don't know if there were any children inside." He said many seemingly sturdy homes nearby were split apart.
The U.N.'s 9,000 peacekeepers in Haiti, many of whom are from Brazil, were distracted from aid efforts by their own tragedy: Many spent the night hunting for survivors in the ruins of their headquarters.
"It would appear that everyone who was in the building, including my friend Hedi Annabi, the United Nations' secretary-general's special envoy, and everyone with him and around him, are dead," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on RTL radio.
But U.N. peacekeeping chief Alain Le Roy would not confirm that Annabi was dead, saying he was among more than 100 people missing in its wrecked headquarters. He said only about 10 people had been pulled out, many of them badly injured. Fewer than five bodies had been removed, he said.
U.N. peacekeeping forces in Port-au-Prince are securing the airport, the port, main buildings and patrolling the streets, Le Roy said.
Brazil's army said at least 11 of its peacekeepers were killed, while Jordan's official news agency said three of its peacekeepers were killed. A state newspaper in China said eight Chinese peacekeepers were known dead and 10 were missing — though officials later said the information was not confirmed.
The quake struck at 4:53 p.m., centered 10 miles (15 kilometers) west of Port-au-Prince at a depth of only 5 miles (8 kilometers), the U.S. Geological Survey said. USGS geophysicist Kristin Marano called it the strongest earthquake since 1770 in what is now Haiti.
Video obtained by the AP showed a huge dust cloud rising over Port-au-Prince shortly after the quake as buildings collapsed.
Most Haitians are desperately poor, and after years of political instability the country has no real construction standards. In November 2008, following the collapse of a school in Petionville, the mayor of Port-au-Prince estimated about 60 percent of buildings were shoddily built and unsafe normally.
The quake was felt in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, and in eastern Cuba, but no major damage was reported in either place.
With electricity out in many places and phone service erratic, it was nearly impossible for Haitian or foreign officials to get full details of the devastation.
"Everybody is just totally, totally freaked out and shaken," said Henry Bahn, a U.S. Department of Agriculture official in Port-au-Prince. "The sky is just gray with dust."
Edwidge Danticat, an award-winning Haitian-American author was unable to contact relatives in Haiti. She sat with family and friends at her home in Miami, looking for news on the Internet and watching TV news reports.
"You want to go there, but you just have to wait," she said. "Life is already so fragile in Haiti, and to have this on such a massive scale, it's unimaginable how the country will be able to recover from this."

"You gonna put up a tree this year?"
We were sitting around the bridge table and, having been friends for such a long time, we understood what the question really was.
It is not as though my children expected Christmas presents to be wrapped in designer paper with matching bows and things that dangled.
We stood at the edge of Kilauea crater on the big island of Hawaii that summer afternoon in 1972.
Pele was rumbling, her lava boiling and exploding into red hot flames.
We had never seen an active volcano.
Elisha Graves Otis astonished everyone in the 1800s by demonstrating how safe his invention of a brake system was. No longer would elevators smash and crash when cables failed to hold.
And for that, I thank him.
Thursday is Thanksgiving and I am not cooking.
There is no turkey waiting for me to decide if I am going to brine, broil or deep fat fry this icon of the day.
Heavy, smelly canvas tents are only a nostalgic memory.
No longer do I literally bite the inside of my cheeks when tent poles that should connect, don't.
There were six of us going over to Daufuskie Island: Lib, four of her friends visiting from Huntsville, and me. I was the tagalong.
It was not the best weather to be out on the river, north wind blowing, dark clouds roiling in the distance.
Somewhere south of Nashville, Tenn., on a Friday afternoon, the last day of a two-week bus trip, I had a phone call from my daughter Melanie.
Her husband Deedee wanted to know if I would drive with him up to Edenton, N.C., for Becky Shepard's funeral.
Halloween is almost here and I am not ready.
I have no excuse. Every store I go into has Halloween stuff.
There are aisles and aisles of candy, shelves from top to bottom filled with every kind of sweet you can think of.
We called them snap beans because they snapped. Obvious, we thought.
After you cut off each tip and pulled off the tough string that went down one side, you put a hand on either end and snapped that bean right in half.

James Estrin
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
You don't have to squint at the credit line to know a picture was taken by James Estrin. In an Estrin photo, the subjects fully inhabit the frame; living, breathing, sometimes gazing back at the viewer — always with an innate dignity that no amount of troubles have managed to extinguish.
Spirituality is often an underlying force. Look at the young seminarians on a ministry to the mentally ill in Slide 4. It is all kinetic exuberance through the left and center of the frame -- we can practically feel the bus rattling along -- balanced by a contemplative wedge along the right. See how differently Mr. Estrin can render something as basic as prayer: gratitude for modest gifts in Slide 9, fervent petition for release in Slide 14. And then there is the pure joy radiating from the faces of a gay couple who waited 60 years to marry, in a portrait by Mr. Estrin made shortly after they'd returned from their wedding (Slide 17).
"Jim is the consummate contemporary journalist, which makes him invaluable," said Michele McNally, an assistant managing editor of The New York Times. "Photography, videography, audio and writing are all part of his repertoire. Jim always gets the picture that encapsulates the story because he understands what the story is and knows where it is going."
Mr. Estrin was the moving force behind Lens, The Times's photography blog, and has been a coeditor since it went online in May 2009. He also teaches at the City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism.
He started at The Times in 1987. He was part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for the series "How Race is Lived in America." In 2004, he was the first journalist to photograph an assisted suicide in Oregon, an event which he documented through articles, photographs and an audio slide show. Internationally, he has covered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict several times and chronicled the journey of Mexican immigrants who shuttle between their lives in the United States and Mexico.
Mr. Estrin attended Hampshire College and the graduate program at the International Center of Photography. He was a staff photographer at The Jackson Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Miss., from 1981 to 1983 and then worked in Washington and New York City before joining The Times.

Really tasty! I used some large portabello mushrooms and all the flavours came together so well. Only change I made was not to blend the soup but instead chopped the mushrooms into about 1cm cubes, I always like soups where the main ingredient stands out a bit. It had both a creamy taste along with a 'meaty' mushroom flavour which I loved.

Bio and Links
Transfers: I will transfer ownership to direct descendants within four generations - the same as Find A Grave guidelines. Otherwise, I'm happy to add to memorials and make links, just click on the "Edit" tab on the top right of the memorial, then click on "Suggest a correction or provide additional information". Be sure to give me the other person's ID number when requesting links.
One line of my ancestors (CROSE) lived in Tippecanoe Co., IN in the 1820s. Some of their cousins lived in the next county to the south, Boone, and some south of that in Hendricks Co. I live in northern Hendricks Co., and am taking photos mostly in Boone and Hendricks, including the older, more difficult to read stones. Hopefully, these photographs will be around longer than the headstones. Many are on the verge of not being readable - even with the sun at a good angle and using tricks to bring out the text.
Since I've been doing genealogy research for a number of years, I can see a real benefit in seeing headstones, rather than relying on a transcription. To me, the important thing is to be able to read the inscription (names & dates, child of ...), but not really the verse below it. It's also important to know who is buried next to who. I'll mention that if I notice a connection.
Cemeteries that are completed - meaning that I photographed everything and have posted all that was readable. Other transcriptions may have more names.
Beck - Bethel (Boone Co.) - Bethel (52nd St Indy) - Browns Wonder - Jones -
Lowry -Macedonia - Mintonye - Mt Union -
Mt. Zion - North Branch - Oak Hill (Sect 1-30, 34N & 34S) - Pleasant Hill (Indy) -
Pleasant View (Dover) - Poplar Grove - Prebster - Old Union Church - Richland - Robison - St. Malachy West - Salem -
Sparks - Taylor - Trotter (I can only find 33 of the 64 markers) - Weaver - Zionsville
I currently use a 10M Canon Powershot camera which will take pictures at 3648 x 2736 pixels. Normally I reset the resolution to 2272 x 1704 and then on the computer, especially with worn headstones, I turn up the contrast 20-30%, and lower the brightness 5-10% and keep the compression at 98 to 99%. When I started posting for Find a Grave, the photo file size limit was 250 KB, then 350, 500, 750, 2000 3000 and now 8000 KB. I use photo editing software that I downloaded for free - it's much better than what Canon or Olympus gives you with their camera. With Photoscape I know the file size before I save the file.

Amanda Doty
Hello Marc,
If you venture back to Fort Snelling, would you mind adding a photo of Amanda Doty's headstone? She was my very dear cousin and I don't have the heart to go there to see it in person. Thank you.
Donna Doty was her grandmother who raised her and I'm glad at least they are together again in Fort Snelling.

Emma Elizabeth Witt Bilby # 130748157
I think these two are the same. Emma E is listed on her parents tombstone and Elizabeth Witt Bilby is on another. When looking at the "Bilby" photo it could be seen as both Thomas'.
Thomas L. Bilby
Thomas E. Beery
I can't see it clearly enough to tell. Did anyone do a rubbing?
The research I did on Caleb's 1830 census shows 2 males under 5. no females. 1840 show 2 males and 2 females : Emma E.1836 and Mary Eliza 1/1840.
It's interesting that an Ancestry.com search shows that both girls died in 4/1858. In addition the parents were married August 12, 1827. E. Witt Bilby was born in 1826. Could the '2' on the Bilby/Berry tombstone also be read as a '3' and the '4' as a 5?
Emma Elizabeth Witt Bilby
Birth: Apr. 19, 1826
Death: Apr. 8, 1848
Caleb Wyatt Witt (1807 - 1880)
Elizabeth Mensch Witt (1806 - 1894)

Mary Margaret Niederman #104969092
From: NVBetsy # 48720498
Warm regards once again. In looking at my notes, it appears that you helped me with my first efforts at linking family. I am still trying to memorialize and link my ancestors, particularly at this time the Schalk and Niederman families from Butler County, Ohio. It is very satisfying to connect the family members and perhaps make research for others easier.
I sent a previous message but it appears that you have not read it yet. You have always been very quick in your responses to me. Thus I am sending this message.
Towards that end I would appreciate having management of Mary Margaret Niederman (104969092) and her parents, John Schalk (72968737) and Anna Barbara Schorr Schalk (72968839). They are my direct ancestors. I descend from their daughter Mary Elizabeth Niederman Schwenn Schwab whose memorial I just updated.
I appreciate all you have done to help me and am hopeful you can help with this request.
Many thanks,

I have 4 themes. All use the exact same php files but different css. How would I set up WP to use the same code with 4 different css files?
As it stands now, every time I make a code change I have to upload 4 files - one in each theme's dir.

So I finally killed the Ender Dragon! As I was climbing the portal back to the world, I noticed that on top of the column there was an egg. So I attacked, mined, clicked and nothing happened, it just teleported away. What does the egg do and how do I get it?
The dragon egg does absolutely nothing (well, apart from eluding most attempts to pick it up). Put it on your mantelpiece to show them online.
From Minecraft Wiki
The most helpful way and easiest way should be :
Place a piston facing the egg, place a lever near the piston, then activate the lever. The egg should drops as an item. I don't know what it does; I think it does nothing.
Since other answers tell you how to get the egg, I'll tell you some of my ideas of what it could be used for:
A Sign of Wealth
If you play on factions, or any other competitive server, displaying a dragon egg prominently has its uses. First, a invading group would say "Hey, that guy has enough armor/skill to defeat the Enderdragon!" That might cause them to stay weary of you.
While this is sorta ridiculous, it could be used as a currency. Since it is impossible to obtain after someone already has, it is impossible to forfeit (unlike gold or diamonds, which can easily be mined). However, the problem with this is you have only one.
A Sign of Rulership
If a town has a king, this is a full-proof way to known who is the king. While this may not be needed if the king never changes, it might be useful if he does commonly. Since there is only one dragon egg obtainable, one player can use it as proof he is, in fact, king. The upside of this is that it's impossible to forfeit.
A Random Number Generator
Even though it is much easier to do this with pigs, for example, the dragon egg, when clicked, teleports randomly to a block in the nearby vicinity. While it is not practical, it could be used in a place like a casino, to add a bit of show to betting.
A Computer
This last one is pretty stupid. It is technically possible to build a device that is based off falling sand breaking cacti which break signs, but with a dragon egg instead of sand. The reason this works is because a dragon egg falls just like sand.
Pause, click 'controls', look at 'pick block' and use the same letter to pick up the egg. Note: Only Work on Creative

I am using the "eShop Cart (Improved)" widget on my site (not yet live). I noticed that in the past when I add a product to the cart, the widget will automatically update the contents without needing a refresh.
Now though, this functionality does not work. The item is added to the cart, but the widget doesnt automatically update and I need to refresh the page to see it. So actually it does not look like it is being added at all unless I refresh. Ive tried with Firefox and IE and both are the same.
I suspect (but really not sure) that this may have happened after the last upgrade to WordPress (3.6).
Any idea on how to fix this?

Read an Excerpt
EYES of an ANGEL
Soul Travel, Spirit Guides, Soul Mates, and the Reality of Love
By Paul Elder
Hampton Roads Publishing Company, Inc.Copyright © 2005 Paul Elder
All rights reserved.
The Awakening
Through shaded eyes we view the world Present, past, and future swirl Only fleeting glimpse there revealed The mysteries of life concealed
What would you do if you suddenly awoke to find yourself floating near the ceiling of your bedroom? It happened to me, and it changed my life.
I first heard the term "out-of-body experience" in the summer of 1979. A local television station had broadcast an interview with a man named Robert Monroe. He had written a popular book, Journeys Out of the Body. Intrigued by the incredible story he told, I borrowed a copy from the library and read it from cover to cover.
In the book, Monroe claimed that in his early forties he began to spontaneously leave his body in spirit form while remaining fully conscious. He gave fantastic detailed descriptions of traveling in this spirit body to places on Earth as well as into the spirit world itself.
When the experiences first began, Monroe was afraid that he had become ill, or was actually losing his mind. Submitting himself to intense medical and psychiatric examinations, he was relieved when all tests found him to be healthy and normal. Eventually he just quit worrying about it. Meticulously documenting his experiences, he decided to take advantage of the continuing phenomenon, pursuing every opportunity to explore and learn.
"Fascinating story," I thought, "but the guy's obviously a brick short of a load."
Having been raised in a poor farm family with ten brothers and sisters, my grasp on reality was far too entrenched in the physical world to give this kind of fantasy much sway. Returning the book to the library, I soon forgot all about it.
To my amazement, eleven years later, my perception of reality would be changed forever.
This life-changing event took place at the end of a long and hectic week. It was late Friday night and, looking forward to a quiet weekend, I sat at my desk thinking about the recent events that were complicating my life. It had been more than five years since I was first elected to city council, and everything in my life was running smoothly. Then, one day, some important government people showed up, asking me to make a big commitment. They wanted me to run as a candidate in an upcoming election to the Legislature. With more than a few reservations, I had agreed to let my name stand. But it wasn't long before I was second-guessing my decision.
With only days remaining before the nomination meeting, I waged an internal battle. Was this what I wanted to do? Would it be good for me? With all the time I'd have to spend away, would our family life suffer? Would it be worth it? Finally, around 1:30 in the morning I gave up and sleepily crawled into bed, vowing to sleep until noon. The second my head hit the pillow, it was lights out.
The next thing I knew, I was wide-awake. But something was terribly wrong. In dazed confusion, I scrambled to get my bearings. What I was seeing was impossible! Instead of being in my bed, I was floating like a balloon near the ceiling, bumping lightly against its stippled surface.
Disoriented, a landslide of possibilities flooded my mind. There had to be a rational explanation. Below me in bed were two sleeping bodies that seemed so familiar I couldn't divert my attention from them. As I looked down, a stunning realization hit me: the woman in the bed was my wife, and the guy sleeping beside her was me.
This couldn't be happening. Here I was, floating around my bedroom ceiling, without a clue as to how I'd gotten there. Closing my eyes, I shook my head, praying that when I reopened them, everything would be back to normal again. But nothing changed. I was still floating in midair.
My thoughts reeling, I knew I wasn't dreaming. But there was another possibility. I began to wonder if I had somehow died. It didn't seem likely, though; I felt completely normal, my mind had never been clearer.
The memory of Robert Monroe's book flashed into my awareness. Maybe, I thought, Monroe wasn't crazy after all. This was absolutely real! Although it seemed beyond belief, somehow the experience felt strangely familiar. It had the feeling of routine, like I had done this many times before. I knew I was just now returning from some sort of journey, but I had no idea where I might have been.
As this insight filtered into my mind, a strange calming sensation flooded through me. Most of the fear and apprehension I had been entertaining slowly evaporated into the surrounding darkness. Far from feeling out-of-sorts, I could not remember when I had ever felt better. How could I have felt better? I was doing the impossible—I was flying.
Although it seemed such a familiar feeling, it was, nevertheless, unsettling. After a few moments I wondered if I shouldn't be returning to my body. However, I wasn't sure how to make that happen or, for that matter, if it was possible. I didn't have a lot of time to worry about it, though, because with just that simple thought, I began to slowly descend towards the bed.
To my dismay, when I finally came to a stop, I wasn't in my body. Instead, I hovered beside the bed, about two feet above the floor. At first, I worried about having somehow missed the target, but within moments my concerns subsided as I quickly became engrossed in studying this quiet, peaceful form beside me.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual or out of place. My body appeared to be in a normal sleeping state. Thinking how odd this was, I chuckled in nervous amazement. Here I was, staring at my own face from an outside perspective, examining it as if it belonged to someone else. It occurred to me that other than looking into a mirror, we never actually see our own faces, so this felt more than a little strange.
In the darkness, my face seemed a lot older than the one I usually saw in the mirror. It looked weary and surprisingly gray and colorless. The more I thought about it, the more I began to feel compassion for my seemingly abandoned body, and I had to admit that I should probably be taking better care of it.
Emotions building inside me, I thought I had better try again to get back into my body. To my surprise, at the very thought of it, I simply floated across the two foot span, and just like that, I was back inside. For the briefest moment, I felt faint. A spinning dizziness overcame me, everything faded to black, and then, with a startling jolt, I opened my eyes.
Back in my body, I could feel my thoughts slowing down. Like a genie being sucked back into a bottle, I felt squeezed and confined. And I didn't like it at all.
As I lay in bed lamenting my increasing heaviness, I became aware of a strange vibration gently rocking me. Every molecule in my body seemed about to burst with this bizarre, bubbling electrical energy. As I focused on the vibrations, they began to surge in waves back and forth from my head to feet. It was the most energized, exciting physical feeling I had ever had. My body felt like it was expanding, contracting, and rolling with the sensations. Waves of energy flooded my awareness. I could not conceive of anything more strange or delightful.
For several minutes I lay analyzing the intense energy until the feeling in my arms and legs returned. I tried to move, but the lower part of my body felt heavy, almost paralyzed. Finally managing to turn my head, I noticed the time on my nightstand clock. It was 3:02 A.M. I had been asleep for only 90 minutes.
Closing my eyes, I lay in bed struggling with my emotions, my mind desperately searching for a rational explanation. When I began to wonder why it happened, a feeling of melancholy came over me. "My God," I begged. "What on earth is happening to me?"
The word "God" stuck in my mind. It had been a long time since I'd paid much attention to God, but for some reason I felt the most compelling urge to be thankful for His blessings. As I contemplated the gift of this experience, love and gratitude slowly overwhelmed me. Tears began trailing down my cheeks.
In this euphoria, my mind began to wander. Dreamlike images of events in my life took shape and then quickly dissolved. And there were faces, so many faces. Some I knew, but most I couldn't place even though they seemed familiar. I was becoming lost in my thoughts when a sudden snap of my body brought me back to the present.
Opening my eyes, my attention was drawn to the ceiling. My eyes had to be playing tricks on me. Not only could I see the stipple on the ceiling but I could also see right through to the clouds and stars in the night sky. Hoping to correct this obvious anomaly, I closed my eyelids tightly and then quickly opened them again. But nothing changed.
My senses seemed to be reaching overload. My heart was pounding with excitement, while powerful vibrations continued flowing through my body. I couldn't imagine a more incredible sensation, but, at the same time, I worried where it was leading.
A sudden sharp surge in the vibrations gripped my attention. The electrical tingling became so intense I began to wonder if it would be possible to leave my body again. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that I could.
I had just begun to consider my next step, when another wave of energy swept through me. My awareness seemed to expand outward until I thought I could feel the air pressure increasing in the room. And then it hit me! A chill ran through my body. I had the creepiest feeling that I wasn't alone. Someone was watching me. I sensed the presence of other energies or beings around me. Appearing as pinpoints of light, they seemed to be everywhere. I started to panic. The thought of having unknown spirits in my room terrified me. I wanted so desperately to float out of my body again but there was no way I could force myself to do so with these "things" around.
Summoning up every ounce of courage, I projected a thought into the room asking the intruders to please leave. I waited, but nothing happened. The feeling persisted. Again I asked, this time more forcefully. Still nothing. With mounting anxiety, I mentally yelled into the room, demanding that everyone leave. There was no change. Finally, in desperation, I found myself returning to the Catholic teachings of my youth, and I prayed to God and Jesus to help and protect me. Incredibly, the moment the words became articulated in my mind, I felt a sudden change around me. In an instant every single unwanted presence in the room blinked out and disappeared, leaving me alone in the darkness.
Elated, I thought of floating up into the air, and that's all it took. A surge of energy rushed through my body while a high-pitched sound began to resonate in the center of my head, spreading through me. With the sound of air hissing in my ears, I felt a slight wobbling sensation, but then firmly and steadily rose into the air. The rush of vibrations and sounds, so consuming just a moment before, quickly faded as I separated from my physical body and floated silently to the ceiling.
As I hovered in midair, trying desperately to make sense of it all, a tidal wave of understanding swept through me. Throughout most of my life, I had doubted the existence of God. The God that we were taught about as children seemed an all-too-human, punishing, and vengeful being. I could not fathom nor accept a God like that, and decided I wanted no part of it. To me, the concept was nothing more than a fabrication by organized religion to keep control of the masses.
Since childhood, the image of God that stuck in my mind was that of a stern-faced, bearded old man—someone to be feared. But, as these thoughts flooded through me, I suddenly understood that my long-held perception of God was wrong.
Although I had no idea where these mental images originated, insights continued to fill my mind. The truth became clear. I knew about God. I had merely forgotten. God is the collective consciousness, the universal power of love and creation that gives life and meaning to everything in the universe. I found this simple revelation emotionally humbling.
How, I wondered, could I have veered so far off course? Surrounded by the beauty of creation, how could I have lost this truth? Floating in my body of energy, I also knew that this is who we really are. This pure, cosmic energy is our natural state, and the loving, powerful vibration within all of us is the vibration of God.
Returning my awareness to my floating body, I discovered that I didn't have to actually turn my head in order to see in any direction. My visual field was a full 360 degrees and was attained instantly with just a thought. As I marveled at this, the urge to test the boundaries of my new reality grew, and I began to wonder if it would be possible to float around to other parts of the house. I slowly rotated my body in midair until I faced the doorway. Setting my intention to coast out of the bedroom, and impelled by just that thought, I began moving effortlessly toward the door.
Approaching the doorway, I realized that I was too high to make it under the doorframe. But it was too late. My head and upper body were on a collision course with the wall above the doorway. Closing my eyes, I braced for the impact. And then an amazing thing happened: there was no impact. I floated through the wall like it wasn't there. The reality of this seemingly impossible act left me stunned. I had just gone through a solid wall without the slightest resistance. In disbelief, I spun around, surveying the wall as I descended to the floor in the hallway outside the bedroom, about ten feet from the door.
Coming to a gentle landing, I could feel my feet sinking into the rug. I felt the fibers of the carpet, the underlay, and finally the smoothness of the plywood below.
Motionless, I stared in wonder at the wall I had just floated through. It seemed inconceivable. If I hadn't seen and felt it, I wouldn't have believed it. But I couldn't deny the experience. It had really happened.
Standing in the hallway, I could see through the doorway into the bedroom. There, in bed, some thirty feet away, lay my physical body. I tried to rationalize how this could be possible. How could I be standing in the hallway, completely whole, thinking and feeling, while my body including my brain—the organ supposedly required for thinking—was in a different location? Pondering this dilemma, I was surprised by the sound of a soft, whispered voice.
"You are not your brain. You are not your body. You are continuous conscious energy."
Startled, I spun around. No one was there. I had no idea where the voice had come from. It felt different than my own inner voice, yet natural and familiar. The more I thought about it, the more convinced I became that it had to be only my own inner thoughts. "Just my imagination," I told myself. "What else could it be?"
Putting the question out of my mind, I decided to continue the tour. I was standing in the upper hall balcony looking down a flight of stairs into the open living room below. Reaching out with my right hand, I gripped the rounded top of the railing post leading to the stairway. The hard, smooth wooden ball felt completely normal. But when I put some weight on it to adjust my stance, my hand suddenly pushed right through the post. The feeling was incredible! Astonished, I had to try it again and again. Each time, my hand swished through the "solid" column like it was made of water.
Intent on continuing my excursion, I finally pulled myself away from this mesmerizing diversion. Looking down the stairway, I paused, wondering whether I would float down the stairs or end up falling flat on my face. Bracing myself, I pushed off. A surge of energy swept through me, and ever so gently I lifted off the floor. I gawked around unsteadily as I slowly floated higher into the air. Traveling a couple of feet above the floor, I cautiously made my way down the stairway, heading for the landing below. I prepared to touch down, and then just as my toes brushed the carpet, I felt a jolt, and in an instant, I was back in my body.
The vibrations had disappeared and the paralyzing numbness in my legs was gone. Wide-awake, I sat up in bed. The clock on my nightstand showed 3:05 A.M. Less than three minutes had passed since I decided to leave my body. It didn't seem possible. So much had occurred, I thought it could have been a half hour.
Unable to contain my excitement, I shook my wife awake, blurting out every detail. I didn't care if she thought I was crazy. This was the most fantastic thing that had ever happened to me, and I had to tell someone. To my surprise, Candace believed every word. In fact she was excited about the possibilities. "That is so amazing," she gushed. "I'm really jealous. Why couldn't it happen to me?" Candace had always been more receptive to this type of thing than I, and I was thankful for her open mind. Had our positions been reversed I doubted I would have believed the story.
Having had so little sleep, I was surprised that I was no longer tired. Pumped with energy, I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I put on a pot of coffee, and listlessly read through a couple of magazines, returning occasionally to my living room and bedroom to retrace the the experience.

About LRandyB
I was an AF aviation weather forecaster for 12 years, then 15 years as a dropsonde systems operator with the AF Reserve Hurricane Hunters.
By: Randy Bynon , 5:07 PM GMT on August 26, 2012
All eyes are on Isaac this afternoon as it makes its way through the Florida Keys as a tropical storm. Current Key West radar shows the storm circulation very well though it still appears a bit ragged in terms of deep convection and eyewall development. But Isaac is now entering the Gulf which is quite warm. A ridge is building in over the SE US. Water vapor and visible loops show the ridge is beginning to effectively stall out the trough over the southern plains that might have a chance to pull Isaac north. As a result, the models have shifted west as has the NHC forecast track. I wouldn't be surprised to see the track shift a bit further west before landfall sometime Tuesday night.
At this point, the models are merging on the track forecast through 72 hours. There is some divergence in the models at the 72 hour point but that divergence is based on the differences in the way the models handle the trough. The intensity forecast is fairly straight forward. Water temps in the Gulf are more than warm enough to support development and wind shear is forecast to be fairly low for the entire track across the Gulf. The biggest issue that Isaac might have in intensifying is the lack of core organization at this point and the extent to which the storm is spread out. Interaction with the Keys and the SE FL peninsula will slow down immediate intensification. Systems spread out as broad as Isaac typically have a tough time getting organized quickly. The short distance (relatively) between Isaac's current position and i's forecast landfall position doesn't give the storm a lot of time to consolidate and build before it makes landfall. If Isaac follows the forecast path through my backyard, I don't think it'll have the chance to be much more than a cat 2 hurricane. If the track shifts much further west, that'll give the system a bit more time over warm water and it might be able to reach a weak cat 3.
Having said that, even a cat 2 is a storm to be reckoned with. Please take seriously all watches and warnings posted for your area.
I'll post again tonight after the 11pm EDT advisory.
Have a great day!

Baseball's 'Fairness' Doctrine: Yawn
The mots du jour at the press conference introducing the new collective bargaining agreement between baseball's owners and its players union Tuesday were "competitive balance."
As he announced the deal, Commissioner Allan H. "Bud" Selig said competitive balance was "something very very important to me. We talked about how we've had more competitive balance than at any time in our history, and this agreement will help in that regard."
On the surface, that sounds like bad news for teams with big payrolls—like the Yankees and Mets. There are definitely ways that the local teams could suffer in this new deal. But overall, the changes don't seem poised to badly hurt the big-market clubs.
For the Yankees, the new CBA keeps the luxury tax threshold at its current $178 million level until 2014, making it unlikely the team will add payroll in 2012 or 2013. Alterations in the rules for drafting North American players and signing international free agents might also blunt the Yankee dollar advantage in signing young talent. Since the new deal defines teams by market size and revenue rather than record, the Mets may have a slightly tougher time rebuilding.
Yankees and Mets officials declined to comment on the CBA. A person familiar with the Yankees' thinking said the team didn't feel it would be badly hurt by the new draft rules.
In the new CBA, teams with poor records will get more money to spend on draft picks in the fist 10 rounds. Next year, the team picking first will have $11.5 million to spend, while the club picking last in the first round will have $4.5 million. If teams spend more than their allotment they pay a tax—and if they spend more than 10% above their allotment, they forfeit first-round and second-round picks in subsequent drafts. A similar system will be put in place for international signings.
While baseball is trying to strip away some of the competitive advantages of money and market size, many of these advantages aren't what they used to be. In the early part of the 2000s, players might have inflated their signing demands in order to fall to the end of the first round when teams like Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies have traditionally picked. But that advantage has faded in recent years as smaller-market clubs have found the money to sign the top talents in the draft. The Yankees used to have a big advantage in the international market by spending big sums for players in places like Central America. But in recent years, small-market teams like Pittsburgh and Kansas City have become the biggest spenders in the international market.
One quirk of these changes is that they may put big-market team like the Mets at a disadvantage compared to small-market teams with sub-.500 records. Next year, the ten clubs with the lowest revenues and the ten in the smallest markets will be entered into a lottery to receive extra picks at the end of the first round. While other rebuilding clubs will likely be able to qualify for this, the big-market Mets will likely not.
The luxury-tax changes are also a mixed bag for the big clubs. The threshold for paying the tax will remain at $178 million through 2013, but will rise to $189 million for 2014-2016. The penalties for violating it more than four times will rise from paying 40% of the overage amount to 50%. This amounts to a rule written to hurt the Yankees, who are the only consistent repeat offenders.
One new rule could actually help the Yankees—the team that most routinely goes over the cap. Any team that's currently over the cap and subsequently fall under it, will be treated as a first-time offender and allowed to work its way up the penalty ladder again. So if the Yankees can dip under the cap at any point, when they later go over again, they'll be penalized at the 17.5% rate for first-time offenders rather than at 50%
So if the Yankees keep their spending down, they could fall below the threshold in 2014, and would then be taxed at lower rates for the next three years. At a time when stars like Derek Jeter will be coming off the payroll, the team could buy replacements with less fear of the tax.

Research Institution:
AbstractBecause many chemical and biological toxins selectively target respiratory endothelial cells, a biosensor using these cells in combination with Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) technology has many useful applications for detection and early warning monitoring of a broad range of toxic agents. In the Phase I SBIR program, Agave BioSystems was highly successful in demonstrating that endothelial cells are a robust system, which can be harnessed in a new class of extremely sensitive yet versatile biosensors to detect a wide variety of chemical toxins. Through simple monitoring of the integrity of respiratory endothelial monolayers using ECIS technology, we successfully detected paraquat, pentachlorophenol, and half-mustard contamination within minutes of addition to the biosensor. Additionally, by combining the respiratory endothelial cells with state of the art microfluidics we were able to continuously deliver samples to the biosensor and demonstrate real-time toxicity monitoring over a two-week period. The focus of the Phase II plan will be to test the system with a wide range of toxic chemicals, refine the microfluidic biochip for continuous flow conditions, develop a field portable ECIS biosensor and integrate an air sampling system for continuous monitoring.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here to look after you!" Hansel tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree. When dawn broke, they started to wander about the forest, seeking a path, but all hope soon faded. They were well and truly lost. On they walked and walked, till suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a glade.
"This is chocolate!" gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of plaster from the wall.
"And this is icing!" exclaimed Gretel, putting another piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat pieces of candy broken off the cottage.
"Isn't this delicious?" said Gretel, with her mouth full. She had never tasted anything so nice."We'll stay here," Hansel declared, munching a bit of nougat. They were just about to try a piece of the biscuit door when it quietly swung open.
"Well, well!" said an old woman, peering out with a crafty look. "And haven't you children a sweet tooth?"
"Come in! Come in, you've nothing to fear!" went on the old woman. Unluckily for Hansel and Gretel, however, the sugar candy cottage belonged to an old witch, her trap for catching unwary victims. The two children had come to a really nasty place
"We'll get to work on that," said Hansel, "and have a real feast. I'll eat a piece of the roof. Gretel, you can eat some of the window–that will taste real sweet."Hansel reached up and broke off a little of the roof., to see how it tasted, and Gretel went up tot he windowpane and nibbled on it.
"Nibble, nibble, little mouse,
Who is nibbling at my house?"

text: I've got a little problem on navigating through my views. Here is my configuration : Ive got 1 Tabbar Controller with 2 relationship segues to 2 simple views embedded inside a navigation controller. Now i want to navigate from view controller 1 to view controller 3 and i also want to show the correct tab selected inside the tabbar. And if i come from view controller 1, i also want that the back button redirects me the the previous tab. I tried something with a segue connected between that views, but if i do so, it just pushes the view controller onto the navigation stack but not changes the tab. So my question now is, what is the best way of managing this Problem

Hi everyone,
I notice that WP 2.6.1 doesn't generate proper thumbnails. WP 2.5 could cut any picture to square area (like 100x100px) but new version cannot (it keeps original proportion like 82x100px etc.).
Oh, and yeah - I check (and uncheck) checkbox in configuration form - still doesn't work.
Is it a bug?

I started getting the following error consistently in my testing suite:
NoMethodError: undefined method 'user' for nil:NilClass
It seems to be from post requests I am making in the test suite. Near the top of the stack trace was the following:
devise-2.1.2/lib/devise/controllers/helpers.rb:259:in 'handle_unverified_request'
actionpack-3.2.8/lib/action_controller/metal/request_forgery_protection.rb:78:in 'verify_authenticity_token'
This makes sense, because all I'm passing in my post request is an email, and not an authenticity token. However, I feel like they should be handled by devise somehow. I'm including
Devise::TestHelpers, and I don't need to call sign_in to perform this request.
Upon further inspection, I found that if I
raise Rails.env.inspect, I recieve "development". Is that the reason that devise is expecting there to be authenticity tokens? How can I force it to run in testing environment (I guessed and tried
$ rake test:functionals -e test to no avail)?
The line that is causing this is
post :forgot_password, {:user => { :email => users(:quentin).email }}

I'm sorry, I just had to bump this up again tonight.
Smiley continues to play very well. Kris Jenkins beat him once early and after that, Smiley owned the middle all night long. He pulled well, consistently got to the second level, and he pass protection was flawless...and when Ronnie Brown scored the winning touchdown, it was Smiley that blew through 3 guys to get Brown into the end zone.
And the reason I am mentioning this is....?
The guy is a player and a class act.
