International Students Flock To Healthy Cooking School in Texas
Goldstein says "Natural Epicurean is excited to offer the I20 to international students because we recognize the value of the cross cultural influence of cuisine and the global need to educate our world, regardless of national borders, that food is the ultimate medicine."
The school, known for it's health-supportive professional chef training program, has seen students come from as far as Israel, Thailand and South Africa. Those behind the unique program have also been thrilled to welcome students from Central & South America, as well as Canada.
Nico Decarli, a 24-year-old from Santiago, Chile says "I was supported by the school staff during my entire VISA process, making sure it was fast and easy. I currently follow a vegan diet, but was interested in other plant-based diets, so I sought out Natural Epicurean. Through the theory classes and hands-on labs, I am gaining a broader perspective on plant-based culinary skills."
The National Restaurant Association recently released a survey showing that 60% of Chefs around the country list meatless or vegetarian items among the top culinary trends. So it's no wonder people are all over are flocking to the plant-based program.
The five core modalities the school teaches are:
Classical Vegetarian
Raw & Living Foods
Goldstein isn't surprised that these types of cuisines are gaining popularity around the world, "this cooking school, in combining ancient essential healing cuisines with modern western nutritional science has created a unique blend of eastern and the western approaches to culinary arts as a healing modality."
Lorena Basteris Rubio (pictured), a 22-year-old culinary student from Merida in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula says Natural Epicurean "provides the opportunity to introduce the world to 5 types of "healing" kitchens so that you can later specialize in one of them, if desired." This isn't something offered anywhere else and a specialty she hopes to bring back to her native country.
Rich Goldstein and the students are available for interviews.

Mama puts a minor incestuous spin on the older women/younger girls lesbian sub-genre. None of the performers make it seem believable, so the show is essentially a lesbian toyfest. On that level it succeeds ... but not in all scenes. The only grope that truly hits the heights occurs between Baby Doll and Sammie de Suora, who display equal doses of tenderness and passion. The Thunder Katt/Lavigh Styles scene might interest BBW fans.
Retailing: Lesbians, toys, and a BBW-oriented scene for variety.

The national weather service in Pueblo has called off the flash flood warning for western El Paso County in east central Colorado, including Colorado Springs.
At 1:12 a.m. Friday, national weather service doppler radar indicated flash flooding from storms over the warned area.
Locations in the warning include but are not limited to Security, Schriever AFB, Peyton, Peterson AFB, Palmer Lake, Monument, Manitou Springs, Fountain, Falcon, Ellicott, Black Forest, and Air Force Academy.
Doppler radar estimates that rain totals of one to three inches have occurred over western El Paso County, along and east of interstate 25, and additional rainfall of up to an inch is expected in that area
Flood waters are collecting in low lying areas and flood prone streets and intersections. Springs authorities have reported road closures on the east side of Colorado Springs.
Emergency officials warn people not to attempt to cross swiftly flowing water or still water of unknown depth on foot or by vehicle. As little as six inches of water may cause you to lose control of your vehicle, and two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles, including SUVs and pickups. Nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle related. Authorities urge drivers to back up out of deep water, and if you encounter a road barrier in front of water on the road, turn around, don't drown.

I am using the FREE version of Inkness theme, and can not figure out how to get the tagline to appear. Any help appreciated. Thank you!
I am using the FREE version of Inkness theme, and can not figure out how to get the tagline to appear. Any help appreciated. Thank you!
Well Michael, I am sorry no one else here can help you. I am also sorry that this theme, and so many others, sloppily leave out the functionality of a basic user-friendly tagline on/off button.
Here's my suggestion:
1) Go to the Editor under Appearance.
2) Select the file "header.php" on the right side of the page. This displays the raw code used to generate the header that appears on the top of every page on your website.
3) Look for the code "<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?>," which displays the title of the blog.
4) Type the following code right after that: <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>
5) Click Update file.
Make sure you have entered the tagline text in the Settings/General area. (Im guessing you already entered it here where it brilliantly did nothing.)
Please note: Adding the code above, will create there identical font and color of the title. In order to change it, you will need to go into the CSS. Honestly, its almost not worth it. Furthermore, when/if the theme is updated, you must go back into the header.php file, and the CSS (if you change that as well) and modify all over again. Its all a pain when a simple on/off switch would be so helpful for a basic tagline, which should be a god-given right to any web site owner.
Anyway, here's the code how it appears after I added in the header.php section of this theme. Hope it helps, and good luck!
h1 class="site-title">" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?>, <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>

[Moderator Note: Please post code & markup between backticks or use the code button. Your posted code has now been permanently damaged by the forum's parser.]
Did the trick, and good enough for now.
I guess I'll just have to choose themes that consider tag lines important enough to add functionality.
Developers, see above.

Shinzo Abe, whose Liberal Democratic Party won Sunday's upper house election, has proved himself a canny operator able to rein in his nationalist instincts and focus on Japan's sickly economy.
The third-generation politician has enjoyed public approval ratings of over 60 percent since beginning his second stint as premier in December when his LDP won lower house elections.
He was the country's youngest ever prime minister when he stepped into the role in 2006, aged 52, and the first one to be born after World War II.
But he left office abruptly 12 months later, citing illness after an election defeat -- becoming the first in a series of short-lived premiers, each of whom lasted around a year.
Pledging not to repeat past mistakes, Abe this time hit the ground running with a policy plan -- dubbed "Abenomics" -- that weakened the too-strong yen, cheering exporters and sending the stock market soaring.
Now he says he will cut red tape and taxes to "revive private sector vigour" and has pledged Japan's participation in a mooted free trade area encircling the Pacific Ocean.
But Sunday's landslide may also encourage in him a renewed passion to loosen the bonds of pacifism imposed on a vanquished Japan by the United States in 1947.
"Let's revise the constitution in order to create a proud country," the hawkish leader told voters on the eve of Sunday's poll.
That may hamper efforts to mend ties with China and South Korea over territorial disputes and shared history.
Abe, who has not ruled out a visit to Tokyo's controversial war shrine, has yet to meet either Chinese President Xi Jinping or South Korean president Park Geun-Hye.
Abe is the second man in modern Japan to serve as premier twice, after Shigeru Yoshida who led the nation in 1946-47 and 1948-54.
His grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, was a World War II cabinet member and was briefly arrested for war crimes, but never charged.
Kishi later became prime minister, fighting leftists to build a new alliance with Washington.
Abe's father was Shintaro Abe, a foreign minister who never achieved his ambition of becoming prime minister. Shinzo Abe took his father's parliamentary seat in 1993 following his death.

Prostitution is sometimes called a victimless crime, but that's not true, according to Det. Barbara Harper from the NYPD vice squad.
Harper spoke about her job at the recent 67th Precinct Community Council meeting.
"It [prostitution] is not really a victimless crime, because people have problems in the neighborhood with street walkers and the things they bring in," said Harper.
"It's not a direct crime on them, but it attracts a poor quality of persons into their neighborhood, which can lead to other crimes in the neighborhood," she added.
Harper said the vice squad has between 40 and 50 cops, and they fight prostitution, untaxed cigarette and liquor sales as well as illegal gambling dens throughout all of Brooklyn and Staten Island.
In Brooklyn South, he said, most of the prostitution is focused in Coney Island and Sunset Park. He said the squad has undercover female police officers out there, but a 'John" has to approach them before a bust is made, she said.
"It's fun being out on the streets, and different than patrol when you're constantly answering stress calls," said the 10−year veteran.
"You feel like you're approaching the streets on a different level," she added.
Harper said the 67th Precinct, which covers East Flatbush, does not have much, if any prostitution, but there is some concern over illegal social clubs and backyard barbecues where liquor is sold illegally.
These illegal clubs and backyard parties are also a source of many of the shootings in the precinct, said Harper.
In regard to gambling, Harper said it is not illegal to gamble with friends or have poker games with buddies.
"When you have gambling where someone's taking cuts of the house profit, that's illegal," she said, adding that street numbers games attached to the lotto numbers are also illegal.
Meanwhile, police sources in the 60th Precinct, which covers Coney Island and Brighton Beach, report that prostitution is down for the year in that jurisdiction.
The conditions unit at the precinct has done multiple operations, sometimes twice a week, in areas with high traffick from street walkers, said police sources.
Sources said these areas include Brighton 6th, 7th and 8th Streets as well as Surf Avenue along West 21st and 25th Streets.

I would like to know if there is a function I can add to my functions.php, which will:
1) Tell the admin bar to use my CSS instead of the default (I want to override the fixed background-position, and neither position:relative nor position:inherit is working.)
2) Use my html on profile page, because I don't want the grey left sidebar, and I don't want the "Personal Options", since my users don't need a color scheme for their one page profile. So I think I need a function to tell it to read a new file called profile.php in my theme?

Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution (SHEPD) has connected the UK's first large scale battery to the local electricity distribution network on Orkney.
The trial project will investigate how large scale batteries could play a role in the release of capacity on the electricity distribution network.
The two megawatt lithium ion battery is installed at Kirkwall Power Station and builds on the work already carried out by SHEPD in delivering the world's first Active Network Management scheme in Orkney in 2009.
The battery will operate through signals sent by the existing Active Network Management scheme by absorbing and storing excess renewable energy.
Orkney MSP Liam McArthur said: "Our islands have huge potential for generating renewable energy, but a lack of sufficient grid capacity is a growing problem. The active network management system has freed up capacity to allow many local projects to be connected to the grid in recent years, but new solutions now need to be found if Orkney is to realise its full potential in renewables.
"I am certain that battery storage has an important role to play in ensuring we make best use of the resources at our disposal."

FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) - A steady snow whited out the field for Saturday night's playoff game between New England and the Oakland Raiders, but it wasn't the weather that gave the Patriots the home-field advantage.
Several inches of snow fell during the afternoon and evening, freezing both offenses out of the game. But the key to the game was a call by the instant replay officials, who overruled an apparent fumble by Tom Brady and gave New England the chance to send the game into overtime tied at 13.
Adam Vinatieri's 23-yard field goal on the first drive of overtime game gave the Patriots a 16-13 win to send them into the AFC championship game.
The field was covered with snow well before the game started, though members of the field crew armed with blowers cleared the lines during breaks in the game. The most obvious impact of the snow was in the first half when Raiders safety Derrick Gibson apparently lost track of where he was on the field and crouched down in the end zone and let a punt roll to him, instead of downing it on the 1 yard-line.
The scene was reminiscent of the Dec. 12, 1982, "Snowplow Game," when Mark Henderson, a convict on work release, used a snowplow to clear a spot for John Smith to kick the winning field goal in New England's 3-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Late in the game, a fan hit one of the television announcers with a snowball, and he dutifully gave the play-by-play to the TV audience.
"Somebody just hit me with a snowball, and I see who did it," he said angrily.
The temperature was in the 20s, and though the wind was supposed to be minimal it picked up as the game went on.
The weather enhanced the home-field advantage for the Patriots, who are 4-1 at home in the postseason; their only previous loss was to the Houston Oilers 31-14 in 1978.
New England has never lost in four snow games at Foxboro Stadium.
Oakland has lost five straight road playoff games dating to 1981. The Raiders haven't won a postseason game in a cold-weather city since beating Cleveland 14-12 in subzero temperatures on Jan. 4, 1981.
When the Patriots played host to the AFC championship game in 1997, it was so cold that a transformer near the stadium exploded and knocked out the lights on the field.
But cold weather won't be a problem next year - at least for those on the field. Foxboro Stadium is being torn down to make room for a new, 68,000-seat stadium next door; it will have a state-of-the-art heating system underneath the field to melt snow and ice, which should make games like this one a thing of the past.

Hey WPers,
I'm about to customize the Platform theme framework for my blog. Almost everything's working just fine.
But since I installed Platform, my site pagination ("Previous Entries") always leads to the famous
Error 404: NOT FOUND!Your browser cannot find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.
Here's a link to my Blog: grapholution.net
Besides that, a child-site I created in the backend, can't be modified anymore. When I click on "Edit page" the URL changes correctly to
but the site stays empty... no admin options, nothing.
Can someone help me out with these two (or at least one of the) problems?

VIDEO: Greg Kading's Book Says Sean Combs, Suge Knight Ordered Tupac and Biggie Killings
In the pages of his potentially game-changing self-published book Murder Rap, set for release Oct. 4, former Los Angeles Police Department Detective Greg Kading reveals that LAPD has been sitting on extensive tapes and documents containing confessions from key players behind the alleged assassinations of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. LAPD higher-ups pulled Kading off the double investigation right when he was poised to drive it home, he says. Then they shut it down completely.
An informant tells Kading in a taped confession that he was offered $1 million to kill Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight, the label's former CEO. The informant then tells his interrogators in plain language, albeit at a cool street clip, that Sean Combs -- then known as Puff Daddy, the ringmaster of Bad Boy Entertainment, Death Row Records' bitter cross-country rival -- commissioned Shakur's legendary murder in Vegas in September 1996.
In another stunning confession, detailed in LAPD documents reviewed by the Weekly, the mother of one of Knight's children, identified in Kading's book as "Theresa Swann," breaks down in tears, stating that the former Death Row boss gave her the money to pay Wardell "Poochie" Fouse -- Knight's close associate and a fellow member of the Mob Piru Bloods -- to kill Smalls.
Read the full story, "Cop's Book Says Sean Combs, Suge Knight Ordered Tupac and Biggie Killings."
Below, Kading discusses why he wrote the book and what he hopes it will accomplish.

I bought this bike for having to get from class to class in a short amount of time due to my tight schedule this semester. Before this one I had a very old huffy mountain bike, and I didn't care for riding it at all due to its lack of suspension. I also do a little trail riding when I can and I liked the fact that this bike came with shimano derailleur's and dual suspension. When I got the bike out of store it was already assembled but I knew the store's usually just make it look complete before they actually go into the detail of the assembly. So when I got it home the first thing I did was straighten any portions o the wheel by adjusting the spokes and then adjusting the derailleurs and brakes. Of course most people would rate it lower because they don't have the knowledge or drive to actually try to fix the problem themselves. The bike is exactly what I expected, which I am pleased with. Whence the five stars.
After purchasing the bike I started to read some of the reviews on this bike and got a little nervous before it arrived. After it arrived I assembled the bike. It comes partially assembled. Only had to attach the handle bars and peddles. Some of the earlier reviews that I read were correct. The wheels came in a little warped, brakes not adjusted correctly, shifters need adjusted. Thats fine. Unless you are buying a bike from a dedicated bike shop you should expect to do a little tuning yourself or bring in to have adjusted for you, After adjusting everything the bike runs very nice. No major problems. I do have to make this a point. IF YOU TIGHTEN YOUR HANDLEBARS CORRECTLY YOU WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM SLIPPING. Other people complained about that but I just made sure to fully tighten them before riding and have had no issue to this point. This is a nice bike for around town and the occasional smoother dirt trails and fire roads. That being said, do not get too excited and expect to do extreme downhill runs. With that being said I am pleased with the bike. But keep in mind that I am also not use to $1000+ dollar bikes that some of the other reviewers are apparently use to. If you purchase this bike enjoy it!!
As a bike builder, the Men's Mongoose XR-75 is the one bike I see most often returned. Usually one of the pedals falls off. The bearings on the them are too tight (manufacturer defect), and they simply fall off as you pedal along. This bike is the one we sell at our location that I never recommend in an effort to give the customer the best buying experience possible. No one likes to return to the store with a product problem shortly after buying it. Save your investment money and buy one of our many other bikes that are worth your money! And remember to learn bike maintenance, most of what winds up being returned is simply due to people not knowing how to maintain their new bike, therefore, it breaks down as they ride it into the ground almost literally. It doesn't matter if you pay 88 dollars or 800 dollars for a bike. It needs to be maintained, any bike ridden will eventually break down and fall apart if not maintained properly. Consult the internet for ways to maintain them, and even ask a Walmart Bike Assembler or a bike shop professional for ways you can take good care of your new investment.
So far, so good. I weigh 265 lbs. and this bike is holding up to my weight right out of the box.
i have been out of a bike for 2+ years and i wanted a good bike it came pre-assembled i also bought an On-Guard bike lock (very good) i have ridden it 5 miles already and the shocks are great
but you may need to take it in to a bike shop an get it Finished (brakes loosened/tightened gears fine tuned and others) also the pedals are METAL yes they will last so i would recommend this bike to anyone that asked me about it
Warning!: Do not buy this bike. I bought this bike at the Wal Mart in Sand City, CA. After two days of riding it, the left crank arm fell off (that attaches to the pedal)! I attached it again, with a socket, and the next time I rode the bike, the left crank arm fell off again! Also the right crank arm started to get loose and the handlebars started to get loose. I brought it to a bike shop in Monterey and they found the crank arm assembly was stripped! It would cost about the price of the bike ($135) to repair it and give it a needed tune-up. This is after a week of buying the bike! The only good news from this story is that Wal-Mart very graciously allowed me to return it without any questions. Thanks Wal-Mart.
A friend purchased one of these bikes just over one year ago. He brought it to me recently to have a flat tire repaired. After removing the tire and inner tube, I found two temporary tape patches were used to repair two holes in the tube. This was a new bike bought off the rack at the store and I know that the tire has never been off of the bike. Why is the factory assembling wheels with patched tubes? Upon test riding the bike after replacing the defective tube I noticed that the gears were noisey and running rough. No amount of derailleur adjustment would correct the problem. An examination of the gear cluster revealed that some of the teeth on one side of the rear gear cluster were bent. This bike will never run smooth unless the gear cluster is replaced. The entire rear wheel assembly should have been rejected at the factory as a defect. I expect a new bike to be shipped with new undamaged parts. This may be an inexpensive bike but that is no excuse for such poor quality control. I also noticed that the gearing of this bike is inadaquate for off road use since the gear cluster is a 14x28, there is no granny gear for climbing. This bike should have 14x34 gearing with a megarange derailleur. Two stars due to poor quality and incorrect gearing on a bike that is marketed for off road use.
Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself but I bought this bike a week ago and for a 5'8" nearly 300lb person this bike is holding up great for the price of $135. Only complaint so far is the seat is a bit small for me but that's an easy enough fix.
I looked at this bike at my local Wal-mart store. I did so because I wanted to purchase a bike that fit me. I would not buy a bike on line if I could not sit on it first. I would have gotten the bike that day at the store but turns out that Wal-mart will not even match their on line prices like other stores will. I decided to buy on line because between price difference and taxes I saved 20 bucks and I knew I would have to do most of the adjustments anyway. Shipping to home was free on this one. As for the bike it is what I expected it to be. Built right for the price paid. This is not a $500 bike and don't expect it to be. With just a few minor tweaks the bike is perfect. All of the gears work and the brakes are fine too. I have no issues except that it only comes with a 1 year warranty on general parts. My other bike came with 5 years. This bike is made by Pacific Bicycle which is the same company that makes the economy Schwinn bikes. I think Pacific Bicycle is a small bit higher quality than what I had in the past. That bike was 6 years old and was weather beaten. I will not buy an expensive bike as I must leave mine in the hot, humid and rain of Florida. I need it to be at my call when needed. If I have this 5 or 6 years like the last one great. This bike is for many short distance rides each day. I would not buy this bike for long distance riding because it does not have the largest front sprocket and can not achieve the speeds of a road bike. As for anyone wanting to punish this bike off road doing jumps and stunts, it is not made for that. That is clearly stated in the warranty. One suggestion to Wal-mart. This bike came double boxed. Mongoose Box inside of a plain box. It clearly states on the Mongoose box to not lay the box on it's side. The Wal-mart box on the outside does not state that. Guess what? When my bike was delivered it was laying in the truck on it's side. The driver did not know. The reason for this is so the frame and other parts don't get bent in shipment due to putting other stuff on the side of the bike.
What really impressed me was the speed in which this item was shipped. I got the shipping confirmation at about 7am and the box/bike was on my front porch by noon. So, be aware when you order from Walmart or Sams that it might be there sooner than you had anticipated. This is the second time I have had this experience.
The bike itself is average. Easy to put together, my 10 year old basically did it himself. The bike looks good and rides nice. My son absolutely loves it and rides it every day. What more can you ask for with a kids bike. It was way cheaper than the other stores and after a whole day of running from one store to the other and finding out that there was nothing in stock, the mail order turned out to be the perfect option. When the website says that something is in stock be warned that this also includes items that have been returned to stock and are defective. It is a numbers thing.
Im 255lbs i wear a backpack that is around 8lbs so 262 lbs and it holds me up no probs so far
I bought this bike for my ex-husband as an early birthday gift. There were a couple of wear issues on the rims, and an issue with one of the tubes out of the box. After the issues were taken care of, he fell in love with this bike! It gives him everything he needs to get in a good workout or a leisurely ride. The price was incredible and affordable! Customer service took care of the issues promptly and with no hassle. I highly recommend this bike to any man.
I bought this bike because it had gotten good reviews on Walmart.com. I thought that I could trust a brand like Mongoose but I was definitely wrong. The bike comes with some cheap handlebar grips that will fall off while riding, and brakes that don't work correctly. The worst think that happened was the handlebars wouldn't stay tight and every time i tried to tighten them it would just come loose again. This bike is not made well and I would be suprised if it lasted anyone more than 6 months of daily riding.
They assembled it free and have had no problem with it. Don't expect to do hard offroad punishment to it, because it is an inexpensive bike.
i have had this bike for a week now and i cannot stop riding this! it is insane!with my bike i can go off road and barely feel it with the dual suspension!BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have had 2 of these bike within a month and i returned both of them because of the same problem the bolt on the crankarm keeps loosening and i have too tighten about once or twice a day i would not recommend this bike to anyone
Do NOT buy!! Even if you are getting the warranty. I bought this bike on Sunday, Feb 26th 2012. The very same day I got home I did all the adjustment as recommended with the exception of one; I forgot to check the crank arms (part that connects pedal to crank w/ chain). I went out for a bike ride with my family so I was taking it easy and to my surprise the left crank arm with pedal came off at 1 mile. I had to walk/scooter push myself with the bike back home. I put it back on nice and tight, thinking it must have been loose. Next day, being today the 27th, I went out for another ride, alone but still taking it easy, not only did I notice some gears didn't work, but the crank arm fell off at 1 mile again. And yes, I had to walk/scooter push myself back home again. Once I got home, just for the heck of it, I attempted to put the crank arm back on, the thing is stripped. Will not go back on and will need to be replaced. I am definitely taking if back to the store for a refund and will not be exchanging it for another one. Hopefully I can find another model that's well constructed. This ride feels wrong. The front brakes after adjusting numerous times did not work properly. Oh and the SEAT, if you can call it that. It's like sitting on a rock. It hurts!
My wife and I both purchased this model only hers was the womans model and we returned both after our first long bike ride. first my 2nd gear sprochet bent. Handle bars do not stay tightend,evan after retightning several times through out the ride. We evan retightend all the nuts after purchasing because of other reveiwers comments. The bike also shifted for no reason while rideing. The gears and shiffting didnt really feel right from the begging. I would suggest save a little more money and buy a entery leval bike from a quallaty bike shop with quallity techs. putting togather the bikes.
easy assembly but the rim of the tire is bent, package was delivered intact so it wasn't a delivery issue..I think I would rather go into a store and exam the bike before purchasing next time, bike itself is nice looking

If I have a derived class with multiple bases, each this pointer for each base will be different from that of the derived object's this pointer, except for one. Given two types in an inheritance hierarchy, I'd like to detect at compile time whether they share the same this pointer. Something like this should work, but doesn't:
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(static_cast<Base1*>((Derived *)0xDEADBEEF) == (Derived*)0xDEADBEEF);
Because it needs to be an 'integral constant expression' and only integer casts are allowed in those according to the standard (which is stupid, because they only need compile time information if no virtual inheritance is being used). The same problem occurs trying to pass the results as integer template parameters.
The best I've been able to do is check at startup, but I need the information during compile (to get some deep template hackery to work).

Police charge former official
Tax records deleted after election loss
|Cheryl Brundage
What she did after entering her office, police say, has led to charges that she deleted important town data from computers in the office.
Brundage, who served as tax collector for nearly two years, was running for her first full term in office. She was defeated by Darlene Tynan, who is Mayor Thomas G. Dunn's sister.
On Nov. 5, which was Election Day, police responded to Town Hall around 10 p.m. after receiving a tip that Brundage was there. Police found her in the tax office, where she said she was collecting her personal belongings.
But police determined she did more than clean out her desk.
"She caused a disruption to the computer system by erasing over 2,000 files from 400 folders," said Police Chief Edward Stephens.
On Nov. 6, two employees of the tax office realized they were missing computer files containing information about tax payments, foreclosure notices and other records. Police said Brundage had deleted files from three computers.
The town's IT specialist restored the files, which were backed up on a server.
Brundage never returned to work, even though her term didn't end until Nov. 8.
Police determined that Brundage used her access code to enter the tax office around 9:15 p.m. on Nov. 5. She was there for 30 to 45 minutes before police arrived.
Police believe she deliberately deleted town files because she left a folder containing personal pictures on one computer.
"Her intention was to disrupt the progress of the tax office," Stephens said.
Brundage told police she thought the files were hers because she created them. Stephens said they were the property of the town because they were created using the town's equipment.
Brundage turned herself in to Wolcott Police Department Wednesday around noon after learning that a judge had signed a warrant for her arrest.
She did not return a call seeking comment Wednesday.
Brundage, 54, of 237 East St., was charged with two counts of third-degree computer crimes, interruption of computer services and misuse of a computer system. A third-degree computer crime is a Class D felony.
She was released on a promise to appear in Waterbury Superior Court on Jan. 30.
Brundage became tax collector in March 2012 after her mother, Lorraine McQueen, retired from the position after 38 years. She was the assistant tax collector for six years and was an administrative assistant for former mayor Michael DeNegris.

Hello guys!
Does anybody know how I could force a link in my web-app to open in Safari ? The link is an App Store app but when I try to click it through the web app it won't redirect to the App Store but to a white page.
Note: the web-app has been added to the homescreen and clicking on the link straight from safari gets me redirected to the app store as it should.
Thanks in advance.

AllHipHop.com's resident rumor chief Illseed is reporting that one of Hollywood's most notable bromances is having problems. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall are reportedly upset with one another on both a professional and friendship level according to Illseed.
It seems the pair's friendship is in peril over Arsenio's new show that will be making it's debut in the fall. Apparently the former late night talk show king, Arsenio, has been making the rounds throughout Hollywood, attempting to stack the deck in his favor with interviews for his new show's debut.
However, upon being asked by his good friend to take part in the new show, Eddie declined. The reason? Allegedly, because he feels that Arsenio has been riding his coat tails for too long. Illseed reports that Eddie felt Arsenio had capitalized off of his name too many times.
Apparently, some sources are saying that Eddie is jealous of Arsenio's comeback because his own movies have not been doing so great at the box office. But if you stop to consider, that there are at least two generations of kids, who don't even know that Eddie used to do anything but animated or family flix, then you sort of have to think this can't be very true. His animated movies have done very well. Honestly, the Shrek franchise alone has made Eddie zillions of dollars for sure.
But if this story is true, we hope they resolve it. There are plenty of reasons to stay mad at someone, but this probably isn't one of them. Life's too short to fall out with good friends over petty things. If Eddie doesn't want to be interviewed cool, keep it moving. But should they let go of a multi-decade friendship over it?

By Sara E. Martin, Army Flier Staff WriterJuly 31, 2014
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (July 31, 2014) -- Military Families come in all shapes and sizes, and some members even have fur.
There are around 700 dogs living in the three Corvias Military Living neighborhoods on post, and the Bark Park that was set up for them six years ago is still one of the best places parents and their four-legged children can go to stretch their legs, said Brandon Masters, CML communications manager.
"We are limited to how much yard space we can provide for each house," said Masters, "so it is a great place where people and dogs can run around, and meet other dogs and neighbors."
Most Families think that Corvias is doing a good job in offering amenities that people want. Brandi Buhl, Army spouse, said she brings her boxer, Zeus, to the dog park weekly so he can expel all his energy so her house is more peaceful.
"By keeping my dog mentally and physically fit, it helps my Family, and my husband, stay mentally and physically fit, as well," she said. "If the dog has too much energy, the house is more stressed. Its so hard to find places that are dog friendly and he is a member of our Family. It makes me feel good that he is welcome and there is a place just for him."
And though the park is for the enjoyment of dogs, human parents enjoy it just as much.
"The dog park is a great place for my two Italian greyhounds, Piper and Maggie, to play with other dogs and it has plenty of room to run without being on a leash," said Eden Keene, veteran. "It's great for socialization for me and them."
Keeping a dog physically and mentally active by taking them to the park can help their behavior while at home, said Masters.
"If a dog barks while in the back yard, getting some exercise may curb that," he said.
The Bark Park is located in the Bowden Terrace neighborhood on Artillery Road near the Fort Rucker Primary School.
It is open from sun up to sun down and was constructed with recycled materials. It was recently resodded to help keep it maintained for everyone's enjoyment, said the communications manager.
"The Barking Lot is made from crushed foundations from old homes. We made the pavilions from materials from an Allen Heights patio," he said. "We also were able to locate the park on a lot where there was previously a home, so we were able to put in a water spout so dogs can get a drink and be cleaned off."
The park is broken up into three sections for dog safety -- an entry area, an area for small dogs less than 20 pounds and a large area for dogs over 20 pounds.
For the health and safety of everyone who utilizes the park, Corvias asks that dogs less than four months old be kept out of the park because they have not received all of their vaccines at that age.
Dogs in season are not allowed to play in the park. And all dogs must wear a collar and identification tag.
For those who have never used the park before, Masters suggests visiting the park at non-peak times, which are weekdays from late afternoon to sundown.
Masters also offered tips to Families for when they visit the park.
Let the dog off leash as soon as they enter the fenced area so the dog feels comfortable when other dogs greet them.
Be aware that dogs have different play styles and be educated on dog behavior.
Don't smoke or eat while at the park because cigarette butts and food wrappers are tempting for dogs to eat.
Mischief can happen quickly, so always be aware of what your dog is doing.
For problems, suggestions or concerns about the Bark Park, call a CML neighborhood center.

As stated in my question above, is it possible to have an apk file within another apk? To further explain, here is my situation:
I have two apps and the first one calls the other through an intent.. I don't have problem with this.. But what I need is to install only one apk file instead of two. And the first thing that came into my mind is to put a .apk file inside the other .apk file.. I really don't know if this is possible that's why I need your take on this. But if this is not possible, I hope someone can tell me what would be the best practice to doing this kind of thing.
I can make it as one application, but that would be my last solution.

Should Your Son Be Circumcised?
WebMD Feature
Aug. 21, 2000 -- In the 1960s, when I was born, cutting the foreskin of a newborn American boy was about as routine as cutting his umbilical cord. I didn't really think much about circumcision until I was faced with the prospect of having it done to my own son. After the amazing ordeal of his birth, my wife and I agreed that the last thing we wanted was to send him into surgery to have the end of his penis cut off. A nurse bolstered our sentiments, telling us -- wrongly, it turns out -- that there was really no medical advantage to being circumcised. Without a compelling medical or religious reason, we felt, why would we choose to have this done to our son?
Today, a growing number of people are looking at the issue as my wife and I did. While two-thirds of Americans still choose to have their sons circumcised, according to 1997 data from the National Center for Health Statistics, there is a strong counter-trend among people like us: educated, middle-class folks in sophisticated urban areas like San Francisco and New York. For these people, amputating the healthy erogenous tissue of newborns who have no say in the matter seems unfair and unnecessary. Indeed, in recent years, some activists have turned their opposition to circumcision into a crusade for the human rights -- and future sexual pleasure -- of infant boys.

I activated the plugin and put as widget in sidebar, but nothing appears.
The same is happening if I put the code in a post.
What's the matter? could someone tell me if I must put the crossdomain.xml file in the plugin directory?
This happens running both 3.0 and 3.2 WordPress version.
Thank in advance for your help.

I've been really pleased with this plugin - thank you - but have a had a problem recently.
Even when set to: "Show the popup every 90 days" or "For the first 1 visits", the popup seems to appear on every visit.
Just closing and re-opening my browser makes it appear again.
I'm using W3 Total Cache if that could be a factor.
Many thanks,

Release Date:
October 7, 2003
As the strains of Rachmaninoff are heard in the background, a shivering Jerry emerges from a snowstorm and arrives in quaint Tyrolean village. The hungry mouse makes his way to the local cheese shop, which is being guarded by (you guessed it) Tom. Before long, Jerry is inside the shop, and Tom is freezing outside. Naturally, the cat does everything in his power to regain entry--but Jerry hasn't the time to be bothered. A bizarre sight gag involving corks highlights this escapade, which culminatesin a musical détente between the two perennial opponents. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviFirst flooding the kitchen, then using refrigerator coils to freeze the water, Jerry creates a perfect ice-skating rink for himself and his diapered nephew Tuffy. Using gelatin molds to create colorful light patterns, the two mice merrily skate the night away to the tune of the "&Sleeping Beauty Waltz". Unfortunately, Tom shows up to spoil the fun, donning a pair of skates and giving chase. But just as he always does on dry, solid ground, Jerry ends up gaining the upper hand--or is it the upper foot? This is one of the last "Tom & Jerry" cartoons to be released "flat"; most subsequent efforts were filmed in CinemaScope. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviPursued by Tom (who else?), Jerry makes his getaway on a rollerskate. The resourceful mouse then sneaks into a department store, with Tom, only briefly slowed down by a speeding passenger train, hot on his trail. The rest of the cartoon finds Jerry using the various sale items in the store--including a toy fire engine with a bad attitude--to annoy Tom, and Tom responding in kind. Things get really hairy when Jerry hides himself amongst a vast array of lookalike mouse dolls, and when Tom cooks up an impromptu table-tennis game. . .with Jerry as the ball. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviAt an earth colony on a faraway planet, Jerry the mouse sends out a mechanized rodent to steal goodies from a cheese mine. The local police department, represented by Tom the cat, dispatches a robotic feline to neutralize the electronic mouse. Comes lunchtime, and Tom leaves his closed-circuit TV to stand in line at a robotic vending machine--only to get a mouthful of motor oil for his trouble. Still hungry, Tom decides to chow down on Jerry, and the chase is on again. This unofficial sequel to 1966's Guided Mouse-ille boasts a terrific closing gag. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviIt may be the dead of winter, but that doesn't slow down the never-ending chase between Tom and Jerry. It all begins when Jerry disguises himself as a cuckoo clock, then dons a pair of skis and heads down a snowy mountain, with Tom in pursuit. The chase grinds to a halt when Jerry takes refuge with a huge Saint Bernard. Hoping to remove the dog from the picture, Tom sends the mutt on a phoney rescue, but the cat's best-laid-plans are smashed to pieces--along with the cat. The ensuing gags involve a drunken Tom, an iceskating Jerry, a scaldingly hot teapot. . .and an abrupt change of climate. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hotel staffs didn't serve me good services. And the payment procedure by credit card is sophisticated.
Its location is excellent for our needs and leisure. Room is spacious. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.
Guard could not speak nor understand English but anyway front desk officers could.
The view from the room across the bay towards the bridge at night is outstanding. We also appreciated the shuttle service. The breakfast was very good.
The dinner consisting of Western food was not satisfactory and far too expensive.
Good window view.
The hotel never know what the customer wants.
steaming shower system. I still do not how to use it.
Everything is walking distance.
The staff are pretty rude! Not the front desk but everywhere else. No bother in helping you at all and if they do they are very rude about it and just point you instead of really helping! Not so foreign friendly at all.. Please teach staff to be more courteous to guest! i don't know if that's just how they are but in Las Vegas everyone is very courteous and helpful rather than just pointing! This is what makes Las Vegas one of kind! They really make you not want to leave!!!
Room was clean and rate is cheaper compared to other hotels of the same level.
uncomfortable/firm bed
Lighting in the room
Great hotel with great amenities in a great location. Pool facility is fantastic and staff was extremely accomodating. Room itself was a tad dated, but upkeep was great. Location near the main ferry terminal is fantastic.
With regards to some of the poorer reviews, the key is value. If you are showing up here and expecting a brand new five-star hotel, you are going to be a little disappointed. If that is what you want, there are plenty of options down the street that cost 5X as much. For me, I found the Grand Lapa to be a tremendous value that exceeded my expectations.
its good hotel location, good management, hospatiality is wonderful.
not so many entertriment facility aviliable.
Nice older hotel with good facilities, friendly staff and excellent Chinese restaurant in the lobby. Also, Guia Hill area is a very nice area of Macau to walk and explore the real Macau, not the casinos. I will stay there again.
There is a pervading musty smell in the hotel.
Facilities to view the Macau GP from the roof
Rooms could do with being refurbished. No automated way of paying credit card (manual slips and call to CC company). Charge for instant coffee. Checking out procedure took a long time as they check mini bar. If I ever stay there again I will ask for the Bar to be emptied
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:48 PM GMT on September 09, 2006
Florence has begun the long-expected intensification phase that was forecast for the past week, much to the relief of hurricane forecasts who worried that their basic understanding of hurricane intensification processes was flawed--but much to the dismay of residents of Bermuda. Bermuda is under a tropical storm warning today, and this will almost certainly be upgraded to a hurricane warning tonight. Florence managed to get rid of its large lopsided shape that was inhibiting organization, and adopt a more a symmetric cloud pattern conducive for development. Satellite imagery this morning shows good outflow to the north and east, but no eye yet. Satellite intensity estimates already put Florence at hurricane strength, but the NHC is waiting until the Hurricane Hunters arrive in the storm at 2pm EDT to verify hurricane force winds exist before upgrading Florence to a hurricane. The forecast track of Florence puts the storm over or just west of Bermuda on Monday, and that island is bracing for its worst weather day since Hurricane Fabian of 2003 hit the island as a Category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds.
Florence has a very large swath of tropical storm force winds that have been blowing for many days over a huge stretch of ocean. These factors, when combined with the storm's expected intensification into a Category 2 hurricane, will create very high ocean swells that will impact the entire Atlantic coast from the Lesser Antilles to Canada. Five to ten foot seas will be common in many nearshore areas, and the wave height forecast from the global wave model run by the National Weather Service predicts wave heights of 15-20 feet offshore the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts by Tuesday. Bermuda can expects waves of 15-25 feet on top of a 6-8 foot storm surge on Monday when the center of Florence passes.
Figure 1. Forecast wave heights for Monday night at 8pm EDT, from the Global Wave Model of the NWS.
Elsewhere in the tropics
An area of disturbed weather 900 miles east-southeast of Florence has a pronounced surface spin one can see on visible satellite imagery, and was declared "Invest 93L" last night by NHC. This disturbance is under 40 knots of vertical wind shear from its big sister, Florence, and has a limited chance of survival. If it does survive, it is likely to follow its sister northward then northeastward, out to sea. There are no other threat areas to discuss. The computer models forecast a new development off the coast of Africa by the middle of next week, but anything developing in this region is likely to recurve out to sea.
Figure 2. Preliminary model tracks for Invest 93L, 900 miles east-southeast of Florence.
I'll have an update Sunday morning by 10:15am EDT.

An early look at the Time cover story
I now seem to be on some media distribution list to gin up early PR. Green publicists of the world — Bring it on!
Here are links to key stories (plus some summaries, from Time):
This Week's Cover Features a Green Border–Only the Second Issue in TIME's 85-Year History Without the Trademarked Red Border
(New York, April 17, 2008)–In this week's issue, TIME managing editor Richard Stengel writes in his Letter to Readers, "This is our latest environment special issue but also a historic first: for this one issue, we've exchanged our trademarked Red Border for a green one. By doing so, we are sending a clear–and colorful–message to our readers about the importance of this subject, not just to Americans but to everyone around the world as well." The cover story–"Green Is the New Red, White and Blue"–written by TIME's Bryan Walsh , "is our call to arms to make this issue–perhaps the most important one facing the planet–a true national priority."
[Note — It's a pretty good story, as one expects from this magazine. That said, I take issue with one of the paragraphs in the cover story — Honorable mention to whoever figures out which paragraph it is. I'll post the answer tomorrow.]
Walsh's piece lays out a three-point plan for combating climate change that deals realistically with the price of handling–and overcoming–the environmental crisis:
1) Establish a price on carbon through a cap and trade system;
2) Encourage massive improvements in energy efficiency–what TIME calls an "efficiency surge"–to slow the growth in energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions; and
3) Vigorously support research and development into the new forms of alternative energy that will truly make a difference. [Actually that's not quite what the story's third point is, but such is life….]
Key to achieving these three goals is engaging policy-makers and politicians, TIME's Eric Pooley writes in a separate piece (here): "Climate leadership will come not from this President but from the next. So how will voters be able to tell which candidate is going to take real action? If there's a canary in this coal mine, it's the policy known as cap and trade, an idea Environmental Defense Fund president Fred Krupp calls a 'silver bullet' At an environmental forum in Washington the other day, advisers to all three candidates promised that if elected, their candidate would make global warming a First Hundred Days priority. But if they don't help sort out the details of it now, they won't have the mandate they'll need to pass something quickly. If that impasse happens, it could drag on well into the new Administration."
Also in this issue (here): United Nations Secretary-General Ban-ki moon writes, "Every problem of the world finds its way to the U.N., our global crossroads of politics and diplomacy. But if the problems come together at the U.N., so do the often hidden connections among them–and through those connections, the ways to real solutions. Nowhere is that more apparent than in our approach to climate change. Many of the challenges we face, from poverty to armed conflict, are linked to the effects of global warming. Finding a solution to climate change can bring benefits in other areas. A greener planet will be a more peaceful and prosperous one too."
12 Responses to An early look at the Time cover story
NOAA raised this wooden contraption on Mt. Suribachi in 1945:
Time Magazine can't seem to make up its mind on climate change.
Here are excerpts from the Jun 24, 1974, Time Magazine, entitled: "Another Ice Age?":
"Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age."
"Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years."
And the list of gloom and doom goes on in the article. Now that global warming is in vogue, (and the same gloom and doom) Time has jumped on the bandwagon again, because it sells. And people fall for it. How sad.
Wow, Time Magazine wrote an article with a question mark as part of the title 34 years ago. Wow. Shouldn't ever, no, change one's opinion in the face of gathered data, analysis, and evolution of scientific knowledge. (Oops, evolution a taboo subject???)
What is sad is your obstinate refusal to look at the world around you with open eyes and allow evidence / fact to influence you.
HumansFirst, Time magazine can't make up their mind about anything. They claim they care so very, very much about the planet, but have no problem running advertisements for SUVs, airlines, and overseas travel destinations. They also have no problem running pieces like the following on their website, "The Luxury Index A to Z":
Isn't this the very kind of stuff that's supposedly wrecking the planet?
And they also don't seem to have any problem with all the so-called greenhouse gases that are emitted creating, and transporting their magazine to various retail locations around the world.
But then I'm old, bitter, and cynical. I'm sure Time will prove how much they really care by shutting down their operations, laying off all their staff, selling all their assets and donating the proceeds to some "save the rainforest" organization. It will be a wonderful example for us all. :)
"Industry offers its plans, which too often would fix little. Environmentalists offer theirs, which too often amount to naive wish lists that could cripple America's growth… What would an aggressive, ambitious, effective plan look like—one that would leave us both environmentally safe and economically sound?"
Joe, was this the part you take issue with? He portrays the debate on very simplistic terms, making it sound as if all enviros are tree-hugging granola crunchers who want us all to go back to the land. If you look at the plans from Sierra Club, Green for All, Environment America and most other 'environmentalists', they always take the economy into account and base their claims with research going back to the recently-reconsidered optimistic Stern Report.
Funny how between expert environmentalists and corporate advocates, the real solution supposedly comes from a journalist.
Bryan Walsh used to be TIME's bureau chief in the Tokyo office, and he now seems to have been elevated to the magazine's global warming beat. Good reporter, good eye. Thanks for the heads up on this cover story, Joe. Love that cover, shades of WWII and all.
But hey, TIME, a mere tree raised again on a forsake island in the middle of nowhere is not going to save us from the coming problems associated with CO2 emissions. We are talking about the possible extinction of the human species 500 years from now, and TIME does a iconic photo cover? No wonder Bryan Walsh never replies to any of my emails about the polar cities project… By the way, if anyone wants to contact any reporter or editor at TIME, all you have to do is write their email address like this:
[first name] [underline] [last name] AT timeinc DOT com
So Robert Enders, for example, would be:
It's a good way keep the news a two-way street.
So the ME would be
The day TIME or NEWSWEEK do a cover story on ADAPTATION stratgeies for survivors of global warming 30 generations down the pike, rather than mitigation now for a "green" planet, magazine borders and all, nice touch, is the day they will take a step forward. But that won't happen for at least another 50 years, or more, probabaly for the 2099 issue….
3) Vigorously support research and development into the new forms of alternative energy that will truly make a difference.
…like thorium!
For comparison, here the article "One Big Greenhouse" from the May 28, 1956 (note the year–it is not a typo) issue of Time, almost 52 years ago:
Since the start of the industrial revolution, mankind has been burning fossil fuel (coal, oil, etc.) and adding its carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. In 50 years or so this process, says Director Roger Revelle of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, may have a violent effect on the earth's climate.
The temperature of the earth's surface depends largely on two minor constituents of the atmosphere: water vapor and carbon dioxide. They are transparent to the short-wave energy (light and near infrared) that comes from the sun, but opaque to most of the long-wave heat radiation that tries to return to space. This "greenhouse effect" traps heat and makes the earth's surface considerably warmer than it would be if the atmosphere had no water vapor or carbon dioxide in it. An increase in either constituent would make it warmer still. Warm eras in the geological past may have been caused by CO2 from volcanoes.
At present the atmosphere contains 2.35 trillion tons of carbon dioxide, existing in equilibrium with living plants and sea water (which tends to dissolve it). Up to 1860, man's fires added only about 500 million tons per year, and the atmosphere had no trouble in getting rid of this small amount. But each year more furnaces and engines poured CO2 into the atmosphere. In 1900, the amount was 3 billion tons. By 1950, it was 9 billion tons. By 2010, if present trends continue, 47 billion tons of carbon dioxide will enter the air each year.
This will be only 2% of the total carbon dioxide, but if it is more than can be dissolved by the oceans or absorbed by plants or minerals, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will tend to increase. The greenhouse effect will be intensified. Some scientists believe that this is the cause of recent warming of the earth's climate. Dr. Revelle has his doubts.
In the future, if the blanket of CO2 produces a temperature rise of only one or two degrees, a chain of secondary effects may come into play. As the air gets warmer, sea water will get warmer too, and CO2 dissolved in it will return to the atmosphere. More water will evaporate from the warm ocean, and this will increase the greenhouse effect of the CO2. Each effect will reinforce the other, possibly raising the temperature enough to melt the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland, which would flood the earth's coastal lands.
Dr. Revelle has not reached the stage of warning against this catastrophe, but he and other geophysicists intend to keep watching and recording. During the International Geophysical Year (1957-58), teams of scientists will take inventory of the earth's CO2 and observe how it shifts between air and sea. They will try to find out whether the CO2 blanket has been growing thicker, and what the effect has been. When all their data have been studied, they may be able to predict whether man's factory chimneys and auto exhausts will eventually cause salt water to flow in the streets of New York and London.

The former are entirely dependent on the health of the latter.

It just today that jwplayer shortcode has stopped working. I'm using free version JW Player 2.0.5 with JW6 enabled.
I noticed shortcode only works in the post content but not in the custom field. BTW, I'm using advanced custom field plugin to load the player. We have no problem adding other plugins' shortcodes into the custom field.
I tried to manually execute do_shortcode("[jwplayer config="Video" mediaid="5385"]") function into the template file but no player is displayed.
Adding the same shortcode into the post content works fine.
I ended up calling the method that executes to add the shortcode. I added the code below into the theme functions.php and seems it fixed the problem:
`add_shortcode('jwplayer', 'JWP6_Plugin::shortcode' );'
I'm not sure if it's a bug or I missed other configuration to make the player working.
Great job!
Please let me know and thanks in advanced.

A measure of how hot or cold something is, measured in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, or Kelvin.
Temperature is usually stated as being proportional to the kinetic energy of the particles being measured. It can be measured using various scales, including Fahrenheit, ostensibly based off the human body temperature, Celsius, based off the freezing and boiling points of water, or Kelvin, which is based off absolute zero.
