When Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty stood before reporters May 14 to discuss the criminal indictment of Youngstown Mayor John A. McNally et al, he referred to the insidious nature of government corruption in his own county and in Mahoning County.
It was an appropriate comparison — insofar as the political histories of both regions are concerned.
"Corruption causes great damage to the community and to community confidence," McGinty said, as Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine looked on. "And as we have seen in the past in Cuyahoga County and in Youngstown, considerable damage has already been inflicted. We are going to actively pursue this and any other corruption allegations where the evidence supports it and demands prosecution. That's what we're doing here. The details of these allegations will come out during the litigation and the trial."
In other words, the Mahoning Valley's dirty laundry will be aired in Cleveland once the government corruption trial of McNally, Mahoning County Auditor Michael Sciortino and Youngstown Atty. Martin Yavorcik pertaining to the so-called Oakhill Renaissance Place conspiracy begins. The charges against McNally relate to his tenure as county commissioner.
83-count indictment
Attorney General DeWine, who is leading the state prosecution team, and McGinty had the news conference to unveil the 83-count indictment against the three accused.
The reason the case is being tried in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court is that McGinty has determined that some of the criminal acts pertaining to the effort to derail Mahoning County's purchase of Oakhill Renaissance Place had occurred in Cuyahoga County. McGinty asked DeWine and his staff to handle the prosecution.
The county prosecutor's statement to reporters is noteworthy for two reasons. First, it leaves little doubt that McNally, Sciortino and Yavorcik, who were arraigned Thursday, are not the only ones who will be tried for what the government alleges was a criminal conspiracy involving 23 people to undermine the purchase of the former South Side Medical Center by Mahoning County commissioners. While McNally opposed the purchase, his two colleagues on the board, Anthony Traficanti and David Ludt, voted to buy the complex located near the central business district.
The effort to derail the transaction was led by Anthony M. Cafaro Sr., retired president of the Cafaro Co. His role in the government-corruption conspiracy is explained in detail in the indictment, although he isn't named.
The second reason McGinty's statement is worth noting is his use of the word "past" in talking about corruption in Cuyahoga County and Youngstown.
Yes, we're haunted by our histories. But while we in the Mahoning Valley continue to repeat ours, the residents of Cuyahoga County have taken a giant step toward a new chapter.
In 2009, as federal indictments of public officials, including then Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, who had chaired the county Democratic Party, were unleashed, residents went to the polls and voted to change the form of county government. They revolted against the one-party (Democratic) domination, corruption and inefficiencies inherent in traditional government.
Government charter
They adopted a charter that created the elected position of county executive, which is occupied by Ed FitzGerald, a former FBI agent and the Democratic nominee for governor this year, and 11 county council members representing 11 districts. The only other elected position in Cuyahoga County government is that of prosecutor.
By contrast, the history of corruption in the Mahoning Valley continues to be rewritten.
Consider this: Even after 70-plus public officials, including judges, a sheriff and a prosecutor, mobsters and others were convicted of government corruption, there have been subsequent classes of lawbreakers.
Efforts by the Youngstown-Warren Regional Chamber and other community-minded organizations to change the form of county government in Mahoning and Trumbull counties have been met with derision.
The dominance of the Democratic Party in this region is a barrier to the sweeping change necessary to end the corruption.
Cuyahoga County is striving to shed its putrid past. We aren't.
Cuyahoga county hasn't really changed at all. It might have altered its form of government but it's still dominated by the same political party that was responsible for the corruption in the first place. (Much like Mahoning county)
Politicians and judges still get elected based on their Irish sounding names.
And Ed Fitzgerald might like you to believe that he led the way to end corruption in Cuyahoga county, but he was against the change to a county executive format - the same position he now holds.
Now he won't disclose how often he uses the county parking garage which indicates how often he's working as opposed to out campaigning for governor.
Wow Betram actaully wrote 1 whole papragraph that hasn't been published 137 time before. I wonder if someone disabled the "cut and paste" application on his computer if he'd be able to function. Royko he ain't.
ysuforever...could you please change your screen name? If you are going to spew such stupidity that the federal case against Traficant was "bogus", you are an insult to the university.
ysuforever Did you actually graduate from YSU ? Or are just using the name ,Because if you did you must have been a football player or some kind of athlete because you are generally stupid. As a member of the GOP party why would anyone without a "D" behind their name waste their money running here. You see the "D" really stands for dummy . And that is what you got in the voters of this valley. They are the DUMMIES who can't see the "D " party has literally ruin this valley. I can't wait until I see the signs at all the entrances to the valley " Land of the FREEBIES, all are welcome to partake "
So, one party holding all elected positions leads to corruption? I won't argue with that. With that in mind, who is going to clean up the corruption in our state level government? The Republicans hold the governor's seat, the secretary of state's, the attorney general's and the treasurer's, not to mention majorities in both the senate and house. The republicans strangle hold in the senate and house probably won't change until the next census due to how they jerrymandered districts in their favor. Mr DeWine is part of that whole tangled web of corruption. He wouldn't attempt to investigate Robs Ohio and uncover what the governor has done. DeWine also has his own corruption issues, with pay-to-play.
Hey jen99 If you got proof then maybe you should show someone. If and when any stories come out about corruption at the state level I just might agree with you. But so far it hasn't happened. Do you remember coin gate when the democrat held both houses and the governor ship. You are a typical liberal with a short memory
Let's see....current Mayor, former county commish, current County Auditor and probably plenty more Valley "movers and shakers" indicted for corruption-related charges, a liar and cheater leading the Valleys most prominent educational institution......yeah this Valley is really turning things around!!! What a disgrace!

Coin-Operated Arcade Video Game
Dream Shopper © 1982 Sanritsu.
Dream Shopper is an arcade game which was released by Sanritsu in 1982; it runs on Namco's Pac-Man hardware. The player must use a four-way joystick to take control of a shopper. At the start of the game the text YOUR PRESSING GOAL IS 10000 POINTS will appear on the screen. The screen will then cut to a shot of a room whose floor is comprised of 144 tiles as they flash up and give you a brief idea of what they all are; all except the 66th tile (which is the one with the apple) will then go black, and the Dream Shopper will have to walk around the room and use the Reveal Button to reveal the type of tile he is standing on.
Yellow tiles are worth 50 points, green ones are worth 100, blue ones are worth 250 and red ones are worth 500 - and if the Dream Shopper should walk over that 66th tile (with the apple), all the remaining tiles will be revealed for a short period of time and he can walk over the strange-looking yellow creatures that are pursuing him for extra points. Once the apple has turned into a bunch of grapes all the remaining tiles will go black again; there's only one apple on each round. Not only must the Dream Shopper normally avoid contact with the yellow creatures, but he must also watch out for "holes" (which are indicated by the black tiles after he has walked over the 66th tile with the apple) - and if he reveals a bomb, he will only have a few seconds to vacate that blast radius (but you will receive extra points if one or more of the yellow creatures perish in that explosion). Also, if the Dream Shopper should reveal a frog, he will start to bounce around the room and you will receive extra points for every tile he reveals based upon his color.
Once you have reached 10000 points, the Dream Shopper will have to make his way along a path comprised of copyright symbols towards his girlfriend's castle, while again watching out for yellow creatures and collecting dropped items like shoes, necklaces, handbags and rings as he goes.

The TV most likely follows VESA standards and will use an M4 screw size probably no more than 1/2" in length.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2004
Running Time: 127
Director: Nicholas Steele
Cast: Lana Moore, Dee (I), Randy Spears, Isabella (I), Gene Drabek, Billy Glide, Kimberly Kane, Steven St. Croix, Dominica Leoni, Mickey G., Joey Ray, Nico Scott, Cheyne Collins, Lonnie, Terri Summers, Lola (I), Lauren Phoenix, Carmen Luvana, Andy Sved, Evan Stone, Summer Sweet
Critical Rating: AAAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Sure to be considered of the year?s best.
The highly touted and highly anticipated third addition to the hallowed Dinner Party franchise is, by any measure, a very, very ambitious work. Shot in spectacular HD and filled with gorgeous, opulent scenery, DP3 finds Carmen Luvana playing a rich heiress who carries on the tradition started by her father of hosting hoity-toity dinner parties at which the guests share their sexual fantasies. And some of the fantasies we see acted out deliver heat aplenty, particularly Luvana's scene with head chef Billy Glide and the Dominica Leoni/Randy Spears vampire tryst. The best course served, however, is the obligatory closing orgy scene … it's an absolute rocker.
Almost trumping the vid itself, meanwhile, is the packaging it comes in a tri-fold deal with two discs and a booklet containing drink recipes. This is one you're going to want to display very prominently. And one we'd like to pre-nom for: Best Couples Scene (Luvana/Glide), Best Group Scene, Best Director (Steele), Best Videography (Jon Noz Muka), Best Art Direction (Rusty Williams), Best Packaging, Best All-Sex Video and Best HD Production.

Morne Steyn kicked six penalties and converted an opportunist Chiliboy Ralepelle try to give Northern Bulls a 25-17 win against Western Stormers Friday in an all-South African Super 15 opening round match.
Sacked last year by the Springboks after a steep decline in his goal-kicking success ratio, fly-half Steyn reminded national coach Heyneke Meyer that he is far from finished with a 20-point haul.
New Stormers fly-half Elton Jantjies, one of three young pretenders to the Steyn throne with Patrick Lambie of Coastal Sharks and Johan Goosen of Free State Cheetahs, missed four shots at goal before being substituted.
Replacement pivot Joe Pietersen converted a Jean de Villiers try and kicked a penalty to cut Bulls' lead to 12-10 on 55 minutes before a near-capacity 45,000 crowd at Loftus Versfeld.
But Bulls regained control of a game seemingly slipping from their grasp and Steyn kicked two more penalty goals before adding the extra points to a try by hooker Ralepelle.
A late try from lock Andries Bekker which Pietersen converted brought the visitors within eight points of Bulls, but they failed to score again and missed out on a bonus point for losing by seven points or fewer.
However, neither team will look forward to the Monday video reviews of a match that contained many handling errors and some appalling line-out work during the first half.
"It was a good, clinical team effort and so satisfactory when what you practice on the training ground comes right during the match," said Bulls captain and No 8 Pierre Spies.
Official man of the match Steyn heaped praise on the Bulls' pack: "They were absolutely awesome. It makes such a difference to a fly-half when you are receiving front-foot ball."
Stormers skipper and inside centre Jean de Villiers said: "We cannot blame the missed kicks of Elton for our defeat. This is a team sport and we all let our supporters down."
Referee Jaco Peyper took a long time to confirm the crucial Ralepelle try with 12 minutes left as the television match official watched numerous replays before awarding it.
The issue was whether a grubber kick from scrum-half Francois Hougaard touched replacement Stormers prop Frans Malherbe and played Springbok Ralepelle on side.
Bulls host Australian outfit Western Force next weekend while Stormers have another challenging away assignment against Coastal Sharks, the team they lost to in the 2012 semi-finals.

What do the terms קדוש (Kadosh), קדושים, קדושה, and קדיש really mean?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

I understood the term to mean designated, differentiated or set aside for a purpose. So Kiddush-קידוש would be the verbal declaration that designates the day of Shabbat and differentiates it from all the days that precede it (see the Rambam on the Mitzva of Kiddush). The קדושת היום would be the legal designation of the day. The בית המקדש is a place designated to recognize ideas about God. An animal can be made הקדש, thus designating it for the purpose of 'לה (recognizing ideas and עבודת ה). A קדשה is a woman set aside for sexuality (As YS quoted Rashi "הקדשה: מקודשת ומזומנת לזנות"). when we say God is קדוש I believe we mean he is differentiated from all his creations.
The dictionary compiled based on the works of Rav Hirsch gives an extensive list, divided by sense like a modern dictionary. However, the bibliographic element of that entry mirrors closely the listing, divided by binyan, of Ibn Janach's Sefer Hashorashim (Michlol).
קדש - prepare for task, dedicate all resources
1: preparing
Note that items #6 and #7 are not contradictory. Although the usage of #7 in the Torah is probably euphamistic, this is a Biblical dictionary so it is accurate of it to list that as a separate sense of the root.
commenting on the Rashi quoted in this answer (38:21), The Mizrachi says that it is "the concept of ready and prepared" - "הכנה והזמנה"
The very Basic answer is separated from matters of Sexuality and Sin as the first Rashi in Kedoshim says:
The Ramban who first says he does not completely agree with Rashi and says it is a broader thing. similarly says to be separated in things which are allowed to you like wine and he quotes a gemara how the Rabbi would limit themselves in conjugal relations similar to Rashi:
The one thing they both seem to agree on is it is separation from what is Muttar to you.
The Rambam (Principle 4 of the Rambam's introduction to the Sefer haMitzvot) says it is a a general statement that describes the effect of doing a mitzvah.
The English translation of קדוש as "Holy" is hopelessly frustrating to me, because it only begs the question. (What is "Holy" supposed to mean?!)
I think Isaiah 6 provides us with the best material to understand the meaning of קדוש. Adonai is exclaimed to be קדוש (triple exclamation) to which Isaiah responds, "Woe to me, I am a man of unclean lips." קדוש therefore has to describe a particular quality of Adonai that evoked Isaiah's recognition of personal uncleanliness and impurity of heart. – My guess, then, is that קדוש means something like "intrinsically pure".
Berachot 8b:
When taken with its usage in Torah, we find that the root, קדש means 'separated for a special cause."
Kadosh is beyond comparison,beyond our grasp~ Isaiah 40v25. Kadosh is awesome Psalm 99:3; 40v25. Kadosh is righteous~ Isaiah 5v16. Kadosh is G-d's chosen ~Numbers 16:7. Kadosh is fervent~ Isaiah 5v16

I would like to run a unit-tests before every git push and if tests fails, cancel the push, but I can't even find pre-push hook, there is pre-commit and pre-rebase only.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I would rather run the test in a pre-commit-hook. Because the change is already recorded when committing. Push and pull only exchange information about already recorded changed. If a test fails you would already have a "broken" revision in your repository. Whether you're pushing it or not.
Git got the
1.8.2 release notes talking about the new pre-push hook: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt
Pre-push hooks are what I needed along with pre-commit hooks. Apart from protecting a branch, they can also provide extra security combined with pre-commit hooks.
And for an example on how to use (taken and adopted and enhanced from this nice entry)
Simple example to login to vagrant, run tests and then push
As you can see the example uses a protected branch, subject of the pre-push hook.
If you are using the command line, the easiest way to do this is to write a push script that runs your unit tests and, if they succeed, completes the push.
As of git 1.8.2 this answer is outdated. See manojlds's answer above.
There isn't a hook for it, because a push isn't an operation that modifies your repository.
You can do the checks on the receiving side though, in the
For the record, there is a patch to Git 1.6 that adds a pre-push hook. I don't know whether it works against 1.7.
Rather than mess with that, you could run push script like @kubi recommended. You could also make it a Rake task instead so it's in your repo. ruby-git could help with this. If you check the target repo, you could run tests only when pushing to the production repo.
Finally, you could run your tests in your

THEATER; Painting as He Writes, With a Love of Paradox
By RON JENKINS
Published: July 11, 1999
MILAN, Italy— AS a writer, I'm an amateur,'' declares the Italian playwright Dario Fo with a sly deadpan that leaves his listeners waiting for a punch line. ''But as a painter, I'm professional. Fellini was the opposite: a professional in the cinema and an amateur painter. He's not in my league.''
The audience smiles at a Nobel Laureate in literature referring to himself as an amateur writer while mocking the drafting abilities of Italy's most acclaimed filmmaker. But Mr. Fo's skills in the visual arts are not easy to laugh off. He is speaking to critics and reporters in a Milan gallery whose walls are animated by hundreds of his designs executed on paper, tapestries and life-size mannequins. Their visual exuberance is based on the same subversive love of paradox that infuses the texts of his plays.
Mr. Fo's banter with the press is equally playful and revealing. At the inauguration of the exhibit, entitled ''Designs of Genius: Fellini and Fo'' (through Sept. 15 at the Mazzotta Foundation Galleries in the center of the city), the rubber-faced playwright refuses to conduct a traditional sit-down press conference. Instead, he leads the audience on a tour of his works, providing a running commentary that shifts effortlessly from the ridiculous to the divine.
Like the fluid figures in his paintings, Mr. Fo, 73, conveys the illusion of perpetual motion. There is barely time to take in his remarks about his painting of an orgy, based on a series of 15th-century nudes (''The originals were much more modest in their behavior''), before he has glided on. He passes a devil-horned harlequin puppet from one of his plays and begins a retelling of the story of the Virgin Mary next to a reproduction he conceived to show the Holy Virgin as she might have been viewed by a medieval peasant. (''Religious paintings like these were devised to teach the Bible to the vast majority of churchgoers who didn't know how to read.'')
Inviting his audience to take a tactile approach, Mr. Fo encourages them to feel the stiffening effects of the glue in a wall-size tapestry he designed as the backdrop for his play ''Elizabeth: Almost by Chance a Woman,'' about the relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare. Then he stops before a canvas of angels to explain how he painted it with the ink of a squid.
Many of the paintings are dedicated to Mr. Fo's wife and theatrical collaborator, Franca Rame. Standing beside a life-size portrait of Ms. Rame, Mr. Fo asserts that the exhibit and his life's work would not have been possible without her. Ms. Rame, the family archivist, cheerfully agrees: ''Everything you see in this room is here in spite of Dario. He never saves anything.''
Noticing that a priest has joined the group, Mr. Fo makes a point of explaining to him the significance of a series of paintings called ''The Peasant's Bible.'' Mr. Fo's plays have been criticized repeatedly by representatives of the Roman Catholic Church; indeed, the Vatican issued a statement expressing dismay when he won the Nobel Prize in 1997. But Mr. Fo uses his encounter with the priest, the Rev. Piero Barberi, to express his respect for the religious beliefs of common people as something entirely separate from his satires of the church and its officials.
The cleric stiffens when Mr. Fo notes that his nude portrait of Mary Magdalene expresses the reverence with which peasants viewed her during the Middle Ages, but by the end of the chat, Father Barberi seems to have been won over by Mr. Fo's discourse on the first uses of Crucifixion imagery in medieval paintings. ''You're very well prepared,'' says the priest, who turns out to be a professor of theology at the Catholic University in Milan. ''I didn't know that.''
Mr. Fo's paintings of ''The Peasant's Bible'' are a reminder that inspiration for much of his theater comes from itinerant medieval storytellers called ''giullari.'' His interest in the social and political contexts of religious art led him to write his most well-known play, ''Mistero Buffo'' (1969). It is a reinterpretation of the Bible, consisting primarily of satirical monologues, first performed by the author himself in the style of a modern-day giullare.
''You can see the rhythm of Fo's theater in the shapes of his designs,'' says Marisa Pizza, the author of a recent scholarly study of Mr. Fo, published in Italy. ''His plays are written in pictographic language, and his paintings are full of corporal action.''
The cinematic aspects of his theater work, as well, are often rooted in the physical images in his writing. For example, his monologue on the resurrection of Lazarus is structured so that one actor portrays more than a dozen characters. The miracle is from the points of view of peasants, peddlers, Apostles and the cadaver itself, shaking off worms as it rises from the tomb.
This montage technique is based on the use of perspective in the religious frescoes that Mr. Fo studied while earning his degree in architecture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. He sees medieval and Renaissance painters as master storytellers who use jump-cuts, close-ups and reverse angles to make the Bible come alive.

Howdy folks.
I've looked like heck for an answer to this but haven't found a solution yet. Here's what I have...
Blog hosted on 3rd party server, WP 2.7 installed and running.
Here's what I'm trying to set up. I have the "main page" where blog entries go. I also have several pages covering various topics. What I want is to make the light and fluffy entries on the main page and the deeper, more important essays on the "deep, important essay" page. I don't want to have all the entries showing up in the same place, but rather on their correct page, just like normal blog entries.
PLEASE tell me that there's an easy way to do this?! I'm going nuts.

By Heather Santos (The United States Army Field Band)June 19, 2009
"I never dreamed as a young boy growing up in Seoul that I would be a Soldier in the United States Army," said Sgt. 1st Class Samuel Chung, a baritone with the Soldiers' Chorus of The United States Army Field Band.
Chung, a native of South Korea, came to America when he was 20. He still recalls the exact date-March 17, 1988.
"My family was extremely poor. We came to America to escape that," admits Chung.
Sgt. Maj. Joel Dulyea, noncommissioned officer in charge of the Soldiers' Chorus, is moved by Chung's story.
"His description of the conditions under which his ancestors lived and the opportunities they found in the United States are inspiring to me," Dulyea said.
The unassuming Chung knows all too well what the word sacrifice means.
As a young boy, his family, though financially challenged, sent Chung to the Seoul Music and Art High School-the most expensive school in Korea.
Though he studied at an esteemed music and arts school in his native country, Chung's first experiences with employment in the U.S. had nothing to do with music, nor were they prestigious. They were jobs that included painting, cleaning and bussing tables at restaurants.
Yet, it wasn't long before he was officially bitten by the music bug again.
In 1996, Chung entered the University of Southern California (USC) to study voice at the tender age of 30. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and developed a close working relationship with the staff and faculty there.
However, in his senior year, his voice teacher at USC left to take another position at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Va. Their bond so strong, Chung followed suit. And, in the summer of 1998, Chung earned his bachelor of voice performance degree, graduating, with honors, from Shenandoah University.
Chung was offered a full ride to the University of Maryland University College shortly thereafter. But, the family could not financially survive without additional income.
Chung chose to forego his studies, and he took a job as a landscaper at Fort George G. Meade. He didn't know it at the time, but it was fate for it was here where he first heard about the Soldiers' Chorus from a coworker on the Installation.
Though he did not immediately apply to the U.S. Army Field Band, the seed was planted.
Chung continued to seek music opportunities while he worked various jobs. He submitted applications for national competitions and young artist programs with big opera houses. Unfortunately, his life, his career did not allow him much by way of musical performance experience. All of his submissions were revoked.
True to his nature, Chung did not give up. After many failed attempts on the music front, Chung recalls opening up Opera Magazine in mid-2002. There, he found a vacancy for the Soldiers' Chorus. Though the opening at the time was for a Soprano (the highest singing voice for a woman), he forwarded his resume and a recording of one of his vocal performances to the Field Band.
He hoped to get a phone call.
He did.
Approximately a month or two after submitting his resume and vocal recording, Chung found himself auditioning for a baritone position with the Soldiers' Chorus. The audition process to become a Soldier-musician with the Field Band is arduous and highly competitive.
Chung admits he was a bit nervous and remembers, "I just kept thinking about my kids. I thought that the opportunity to sing while serving my adopted country would be the best of both worlds for me!"
"I was here when he auditioned," noted Sgt. Maj. Dulyea, who added, "He was competing against two baritones who sang very well. However, Samuel [Chung] sang an Italian aria that was outstanding. His tone, timbre and range were unmatched by the other candidates."
The panel of judges agreed. Chung was offered the position.
Sgt. Maj. Joan Mercer was the auditions coordinator for the Field Band when Chung tried out for the chorus and vividly remembers Chung's reaction to being selected.
"He was in tears, and he told us that just one year before [his audition], he was part of the lawn maintenance crew that worked on the area outside of the Field Band's building. I thought, wow, what perseverance to go for something he really wanted," she said.
It has been almost seven years, and Chung has never looked back. As he considers his career with the Field Band, he is amazed and proud.
In addition to performing with the Soldiers' Chorus as they tour the Nation, Chung is also a featured vocalist with Bel Canto, an operatic educational outreach team that performs recitals and offers vocal workshops.
Here, Chung presents vocal performance techniques and exposes students to the genre of opera.
Bel Canto disbanded due to personnel turnover, but that didn't stop Chung. His determination and dedication, once again, came to the forefront.
Last fall, he reformed the group, changed the vocalist line up, and now the small ensemble performs as Cantare. They have already begun singing during Soldiers' Chorus concerts, and Chung highly anticipates the group's first individual appearance some time later this year.
Chung comments on many favorite moments in his career thus far, such as singing the National Anthem for a crowd of more than one-hundred thousand at the International Speed Boat competition's final ceremony in Pittsburgh last year, an event that was broadcast on the Speed Chanel across the Nation.
But, by far, notes Chung, was performing with the Soldiers' Chorus at President Ronald Reagan's funeral service.
"To be called upon to participate, to honor a former President was a tremendous feeling," he said.
Chung feels the performance was particularly poignant for him because of his son.
"My son was a first grade student at the time, and he saw me on television as the memorial service was broadcast. He talked about it to everyone at school-about how I, his father, performed at such an esteemed event. My son's admiration of me touched my heart very strongly," he reminisced.
Chung has three children, Faith, Hope and Love. And, he is extremely grateful for his wife and her support of him throughout their lives together, throughout the hard times.
He is also grateful to America.
"When my wife was pregnant with our children, it was the United States that helped us pay the hefty medical fees. It was the United States that accepted my poor family from Korea. It was the United States that helped me to escape being poor," Chung articulates.
"So, I appreciate America for so many things, so many times," he added.
Chung is also grateful for his job at The United States Army Field Band and vows, "I am going to try my best for the Field Band, because this is my way to pay back the grace of America."
Sgt. 1st Class Chung has served as a Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) in the United States Army for close to seven years, and he exemplifies a true commitment to service to our Nation. His dedication is one such story that illustrates why the Secretary of the Army dedicated 2009 as The Year of the NCO.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
As evidenced by turning your Final Crisis #7 cover on the side…
I think it's cause Kryptonians have an awesomeness organ instead of a human appendix.
I get it, you love the cover! enough already. just kidding, Superman and J.G Jones are indeed awesome
I eagerly await the post where Brian posts the cover upside down to illustrate how Final Crisis works on so many different levels.
kryptonians actually have two fully functional appendixes. [I think waid's birthright]
and yes, superman is awesome.
If you rotate it 180 degrees, you see that he is so awesome that he can fly ON HIS BACK!!
Isn't the plural of appendix appendices?
I eagerly await the post where Brian posts the cover upside down to illustrate how Final Crisis works on so many different levels.
I don't share your opinion of FC, but that was funny.
"Isn't the plural of appendix appendices?"
Not for books. For body parts, the plural can take either form. Nouns borrowed from foreign languages often have complicated (or absent) plural rules.
Check out David Crystal's Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language; it's really a fascinating read!
Well, that I can't disagree with.
These covers have been great.
BUT when he's upsidedown he looks oddly like an acrobat. A comment that comics are the new circus? Metafiction!?
2 bad the story sucked
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the post defending Final Crisis, because, even though I love Grant, that was just awful. Nonsense doesn't even do the story justice as a description. I really, really tried to get some enjoyment out of it, but it wasn't happening.
Superhero comics set in the main universes of DC and Marvel should not require lengthy annotations, especially when I've read at least 75% of the tie-ins and lead-ins. And I'm still not sure annotations would make the story coherent. I'm not a stupid person, but there were just too many thematic elements that either did not work, or were so buried in DC continuity that I didn't pick up on them.
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the post defending Final Crisis
Then you probably want the Final Crisis #7 review article from yesterday.
I totally loved the whole ride of Final Crisis. I re-read the series in anticipation of the last issue and found it to be satisfying.
Of course, I'm that guy who decides he likes something only to see it get cancelled or closed down. It's normally a sign of doom for a restaurant if I like their food!
Oh, and in reference to the circus comment above, Will Eisner said Superman's costume was inspired by carnival strongmen, so you're not too far off!
Stop drumming up interest for this cover Brian! I haven't gotten my issue yet, and if I go to the comic book store and they are all gone….so help me god, I don't know what I'll do.
I don't get this post, but I'm going to assume it's my fault rather than that of its creator.
I also don't get this post, so I'll go ahead and ask and try to keep it snark-free…what are you getting at? Is there some way Superman is interacting with the logo that I'm not seeing? Is there something unusual about the pose, particularly something that's only visible when the cover is viewed sideways? I assume there's something really obvious that I'm missing, but I'm still missing it and it appears I'm not the only one.
This just made me realize how obviously clone-stamped the "debris" coming off the "L" in the logo is.
It's like this: you get it or you don't. People who don't get it aren't dumb, and people who do get it aren't just saying that because they're JG Jones fans.
Crap! But you get my drift.
You know, with all the rest of the cover text "distressed" shouldn't they have done a one-off distressed DC logo and Barcode box?? It stands out like a sore thumb… But I guess it won't be included on the collected covers, so whatever…
Seriously, is that the point? Just some joke about how if you don't get the "joke" you're dumb?
Final Crisis is so awesome I can't understand all of it. I get most of it, but it feels as if my mind is skipping through time.
I think the point of this post is that
1) Superman is awesome.
2) The cover of Final Crisis 7 looks better on its side.
I'm more a Spider-Man guy to be honest.
If you couldn't understand Final Crisis, fuck you, it's your fault. It's all in there, if you can be bothered to look. And if you can't, don't blame Grant.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp does the Daniel Sturridge celebration dance
Putting rivalries aside, we can probably all agree that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a pretty cool guy.
Channeling that affable nature, Klopp has had a go at striker Daniel Sturridge's famous celebration, where he dances so rhythmically.

Hurshat Tal
Hurshat Tal (Hebrew: חורשת טל, lit. "Dew Grove") is a national park and nature reserve in the North District of Israel.[1][2] In 1968, 765 dunams were declared national park lands (visitor facilities occupying approximately 250 dunams[3]) and 107 dunams were declared a nature reserve.[4]
National Park[edit]
Hurshat Tal is located on Highway 99, east of Kiryat Shmona, in the northern part of the Hula Valley. The recreation and camping grounds offer bungalos and cabins. A flowing streams branching from the Dan River, crosses the site, and a swimming pool with water slides is fed by these waters. A fishing park is also open to visitors.[3]
The Hebrew name of the site is taken from Psalms 133:3 referring to the "dew of Hermon".
Nature Reserve[edit]
The reserve was declared mainly to protect the 240 old Valonia oak trees (Quercus macrolepis).[3] These trees survived for many years as part of a local Arab holy site. Some of the trees are 350–400 years old. Local folklore tells that 10 of Muhammad's cohorts stopped nearby to rest, but could not find trees to which to tie their horses. They stuck their sticks into the ground, which became the roots of the trees in the area. The story is reflected in the Arabic name for the site, Sejrat el-Asara ("Grove of the Ten").[5]

What are the age requirements for entry?
All applicants should begin the application process in fall of the year prior to enrollment. Thus, Nursery 3 applicants are two years old when they apply and are three years old when they enter Lab.Nursery 3 applicants must be 3-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry (2 years old before Sept. 1 of the year of application) Nursery 4 applicants must be 4-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry (3 years old before Sept. 1 of the year of application) Kindergarten applicants must be 5-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry (4 years old before Sept. 1 of the year of application)Grade 1 applicants who are not already enrolled in Kindergarten must be 6-years-old before September 1 of the year of entry (5 years old before Sept. 1 of the year of application) Applicants to other grades should apply to the grade immediately following the grade in which the applicant is currently enrolled. Applicants from non-US schools who have significantly different age or grade-level cutoffs are asked to email the admissions office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When should I begin the application process?
Lab's application process begins in the fall of the year prior to enrollment. For example, entering 9th grade students begin the application process in September of their 8th grade year. Similarly, Nursery 3 (three year old children) applicants are two years old when they apply, and are three years old when they enroll at Lab. Please click the "welcome" link in the upper left-hand corner to view deadlines and begin the application process.
When are the application deadlines?
Application deadlines for entry in fall, 2017 are available by clicking on the "welcome" link in the upper left hand corner.
What are the best "points of entry" into the Laboratory Schools?
Nursery 3 and Grade 9 are typically the best points of entry into Lab. Other grades typically have openings only through student attrition. Special circumstances determine the consideration of applications to Grade 12.
Do you accept applicants who are not affiliated with the University of Chicago?
Yes! Every class contains a diverse group of families, including many who are not affiliated with the University of Chicago. Lab welcomes all applicants, both affiliated and non-affiliated, into its community.
What is the application process at the Laboratory Schools?
All applicants to the Laboratory Schools go through a holistic application process that seeks to understand both the applicant and his or her family. Our younger students visit Lab for playgroup or classroom visit; Middle School and High School students spend a day at Lab. In addition to the visit day, Middle and High School students will have a meeting with a member of Lab's Admissions Committee, and will take the Independent School Entrance Exam. All families are also required to pay an $80 application fee, and submit a descriptive summary of their child, teacher recommendation forms, and 2-3 years of progress reports. Details for each grade level of application are made available at the start of the application process. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact the Admissions Office at 773-702-9451.
How do I access necessary forms to complete the application process?
Lab's application process is electronic. Please access the link to apply, and all instructions, by clicking on the appropriate links in the upper left hand corner. While electronic submission is Lab's preferred method, please let us know if you would prefer to fill out a paper application. If so, please contact the Admissions Office at 773-702-9451; we would be happy to assist.
How will Lab get to know my child?
We believe that each child is an individual, and can shine in ways not captured by test scores or paper applications. Therefore, we strive to have individual interactions with all of our applicants. Our youngest applicants (Nursery 3, Nursery 4 and Kindergarten) may be invited to attend a playgroup assessment involving a small group of children led by our faculty in our classrooms at the Laboratory Schools. Nursery children may be accompanied by one parent during the playgroup. Applicants to grades 1-5 may be invited to participate in an age appropriate classroom visit. During the visit, the student will receive an academic assessment from a Laboratory Schools teacher. Middle School (grades 6-8) and High School (grades 9-12) applicants will meet individually with a member of the Admissions Committee during the course of a full day visit to Lab.
How do I schedule a visit to the Laboratory Schools?
Specific tour/open house dates and procedures will be provided to all applicants as part of the application process. With the exception of the Middle and High School Open House (which is open to all), Lab does not offer tours to non-applicant families.
When will I receive an admission decision?
Applicants to Lab for the 2017-2018 academic year will be notified in March, 2017.
Is there a waiting list?
Each year, a number of highly qualified students apply to grades where Lab has limited space. Students who have completed the application process and are academically and socially prepared to join the Laboratory Schools may be asked to join Lab's wait pool until space becomes available through student attrition. Students in the wait pool are not ranked, and the Admissions Office cannot provide families with an applicant's number or position within the pool. Wait pools are only open/active for the current admissions season. Students who wish to be considered for admission the following year must reapply.
What is the Laboratory Schools connection to the University of Chicago?
The Laboratory Schools are a division of the University of Chicago and, like the University of Chicago Hospitals, the Law School or the Chicago Booth School of Business, we are an integral part of the University community. Nearly half of our families are employed by the University and many more have connections to it, past and present. University of Chicago faculty and prospective faculty receive priority attention in the application process.
Where are the Laboratory Schools located?
Lab's mailing address is 1362 E. 59th Street, Chicago, IL 60637. Please note: the admissions office is located on two campuses. For detailed directions to Lab, or to be directed to the appropriate campus for your needs, please refer to "Directions & Parking" in upper left hand corner.

This is actually a pretty good one, the coloring is very good, though the detail on the hands make it harder to tell if the fingers are out or clenched in a fist at first. Still, great work, and I like the background details to.
The flying pose seems reminisce of the SMB3 boxart which I also like.

Neil Gaiman on Minnesota, Sandman, and why he can't do another signing tour
Neil Gaiman before his Minneapolis signing in July. Check out more behind-the-scenes photos.
This year, writer Neil Gaiman has juggled more projects than you can count on two hands. These include releasing a children's book and an adult novel, writing his second Dr. Who episode, and gearing up for a prequel to The Sandman series. We caught up with the author on the Minneapolis stop of his last U.S. signing tour to chat about a little of everything, like what chilly Midwest winters have taught him and how he feels revisiting Sandman.
Here's more from our interview with Gaiman for our cover story: The dark night returns for Neil Gaiman.

The pressure is on for Sandman: Overture, since it's the 25th anniversary of the series. Does it get to you?
Yeah, it definitely feels weird. I think I like writing things best when nobody's waiting for them, nobody expects them, and nobody knows what they're going to get. So you know, The Ocean at the End of the Lane was enormously fun because it was just a short story that I was writing for my wife that got out of hand, and just kept going.
The Sandman... nobody seems quite sure, I think DC was saying seven million sold in the latest press releases, but seven million was the same number they were using in 2003. I know that we've been selling a quarter of a million, half a million copies of graphic novels every year plus electronic stuff. I'm going, 'It's got to be a lot more than that...' I'm thinking nobody's actually ever gone out and counted. [Laughs] There's definitely a kind of weird feeling, like 10 to 15 million people are looking over my shoulder going, 'This has got to be good.'
Has this story always been hovering in the back of your head? Or has it developed more over time?
It was one of the ones that was there before Sandman 1 started. And it's hinted at... there's a thing about it in Sandman 8, and Sandman 42. It just never really fit the Sandman that I was doing at the time. It was always just sort of pushed away and I went, 'Ok, when I finish Sandman 175, at some point, I'll have this little story to tell.'
I was going to tell it for Sandman's 20th anniversary, and then I didn't, mostly because DC Comics at the time were perfectly happy for me to do it under the terms that I signed up to do Sandman in 1997, and I was of the opinion that I should get something slightly better. Not hugely better, just something slightly better. Like, 'Guys, I was 26, please give me a slightly better deal now.' They said no, they couldn't because then everybody would want one. Then a few years later they said, 'Well, it's the 25th anniversary, do you still want that deal?' And I was like, 'Okay, come on, let's do it.' We got J.H. Williams [to do the art], and we're all excited because we've got Todd Klein and Dave McKean and the old gang is back together again.
In Amanda Palmer's blog about The Ocean at the End of the Lane, she noted that the long distance between you two was taking its toll. Did that affect the way the story turned out?
I think it did. I think mostly it was just that it's weird. I've only ever written two things for specific people going, 'I'm writing this story for someone that isn't me.' In each case, they sort of grew and transformed and got out of hand. One was of them was Coraline, which I wrote for my then-five-year-old girl, Holly. I started it for Holly, I finished it for Maddy. And one of them was [Ocean], which in my head was just a short story. I was just going to send it over to Amanda from Florida, and I liked that. She was making an album. So there wasn't a lot of missing going on, she was really busy. I missed her.
Each day, I'd keep writing, and then I'd sort of know what was going to happen the next day, so I'd write that, and I'd know what would happen the day after that, so by then I'd know what was going to happen next. There was this point where I didn't know how long it was, I didn't know what it was. I just thought, 'Okay, I'll keep going with this thing until it's done, and I'll send it to her.' And you know, it came as a surprise to me.
We got together when she came back from Australia in Dallas, Texas, where the album was being mixed. I went into Dallas, and I typed up the book that I'd been writing, finished it up in a coffee shop, did the second draft, did a word count, and went, 'I appear to have written a novel. Did not plan that.' And then had to go all... 'Can I make this fatter? Because it's now a novel, and it's a 56,000 word novel. It's longer than The Great Gatsby, it's about the same length as Stardust. Can I make it fatter? I don't know where any more words go, it's just my story.' I read it to her, each night, back then. She liked it. I don't think it was until she read the whole thing, when it was published -- she got an advanced copy. I gave it to her, she went off and read it, and only then she went, 'Oh my god, this is beautiful.'
Has your time in and around Minnesota infiltrated your work at all?
Absolutely. I know that it affected the stories. I would see things, and I would meet people, and I would talk to people, and I would try to make sense of it. [Minnesota was in] a lot of American Gods, you know. The winter in American Gods is me just trying to make sense of winter. I lived in England, I figured that water got white and fluffy and fell from the sky. At that point, it was cold, and that was as cold as it got. I didn't realize there was cold under freezing. All the clever things we learn to do in this part of the world -- you walk outside, you breathe in, the hairs on your nose freeze, you go, 'Oh, it's below zero.' You walk outside, you cough with pain a couple times, you go, 'Oh, it must be about minus 25.'
[There's] lots of other stuff, too. Things that I'd see, people I'd meet, people I'd encounter, and some of them didn't ever make it in. McCosh's house of books. Melvin McCosh -- Santa Claus's anorexic brother -- a few times a year, he'd send out a piece of paper. He'd say, 'You need these books more than I do,' and book people would descend upon his place. The books would be filling all these old drawers and filling the showers. I've always wanted to put McCosh's house of books in something. He's long dead, and I'm sure the place is long gone, but it's still sitting there in my head.
This is your last tour. Besides feeling physically and emotionally drained, how do you feel about closing this chapter of your life as a writer?
What I keep telling people is that it's my last U.S. signing tour, and that's what it is. I will never do another signing tour. I might well do another reading tour. I might well do an interpretive dance tour, or a studies in beekeeping tour. All of that stuff is possible.
Last night I signed for 1,700 people, and I signed until three o'clock in the morning. By the end of it, everything hurt. I looked online this morning on Tumblr and Twitter, and there's happy people, and then there are people that gave up at two o'clock in the morning and had to go home. 'I saw Neil Gaiman, and it was kind of miserable. And I stood in line, but my husband had to get to work, and it was just sort of getting ridiculous.' You sort of look at that and you go, this doesn't actually work anymore -- the signing.
It's great if you are an author and you can get 150 or 200 people in a shop, that's great. It's fun and you can get through those 150 to 200 people in about 90 minutes, 100 minutes, and then you go off and have dinner and everybody feels happy and it's great.
Hour five of a signing is no fun for anybody. I am punch-drunk. I have to try and remember how to spell common names like 'Bob,' and it's horrible. It's lovely hugging people and they want to tell you they have presents for you, and it's all magic. But I can't do this anymore.
Really, I couldn't do it after Anansi Boys, which is why we didn't do it that way for the Graveyard Book tour when I did the reading tour and pre-signed books. For this, I just went, 'I decided this is going to be my last tour.' I could've done this as a speaking tour with pre-signed books available. But I just went, 'I want to tell everybody.' I want to actually let them know if I'm going to do this, the ethical way to do it is just to say: This is the last signing tour, this is where it stops.

Your year-end donation to the USO's At Home in Our Hearts campaign will help deliver vitally important services to our service men and women. And starting today, any gift you make through December 31st will be matched by a generous supporter – up to $350,000.
Whether they're embarking on a new deployment in Afghanistan or returning from a difficult tour of duty in Iraq, you can let our troops know they're At Home in Our Hearts. Your gift of $10, will provide $20 of support for our troops thanks to this limited-time matching gift opportunity.
Double the impact of your generosity with a tax-deductible gift to our troops today. As always, you can count on the USO to be right there on the front lines with our troops on duty in Afghanistan. They may not have made it home for the holidays, but, with your support, we'll make it clear they are At Home in Our Hearts with free phone calls home, military care packages, mobile USO2GO units reaching troops at remote outposts and more.
With your help, the USO will also be there for those returning from service in Iraq, many of them after multiple deployments. We'll extend a helping hand to children who have spent most of their lives thousands of miles away from Mom or Dad. We'll be there for those who have come back from the front lines wounded. We'll honor our troops not just in words, but in deeds.
Make your At Home in Our Hearts matching gift today.
I'm so grateful for all that supporters like you do, especially around the holidays, when our troops miss their homes more than ever. I can't tell you how much it means to them to be able to count on USO centers and supporters for a cup of coffee, some time to relax with friends, or a simple hug.

What is a stack overflow error? What type of programs/programming languages is it likely to occur in? Is it unlikely to occur in web application code?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
From Wikipedia:
The stack is a data structure that keeps record of point the subroutines of a program should return control when they finish executing. The return addresses are pushed in the stack as the subroutines are being invoked, when the subroutine finish its execution the return address is pulled from the stack. If there are many subroutines and there is no space in the stack a stack overflow happens.
Also in the stack is intended to store local variables so if a local variable is too large is more probable the stack doesn't have space to store it, if this is the case a stack overflow happens too.
Here is nice diagram picturing the stack when a
There are two main causes of a stack overflow: deep function recursions and excessively large stack variables. Since these are common terms in almost all programming languages a stack overflow can happen besides the complexity of the language.
Guffa contribution: The stack doesn't have anything to do with garbage collection. Modern applications have a larger stack, which makes it slightly less likely to get a stack overflow, but other than that there is no difference.
The stack contains a number of stack frames and is stored in memory. Every time a function is called, a new stack frame is added to the stack. A stack frame contains the arguments to be passed to the function being called, and the return address, so that when the called function has finished the cpu knows where to return to so it can continue executing the calling function. The stack frame may also contain memory to be used by local variables of the function being called.
In this example, the Main function called WriteCustomerDetails and that called PrintToConsole to write out individual bits of data that the WriteCustomerDetails function looked up:
'=======top of stack====================='
A stack overflow occurs if enough space for the stack was not reserved. Usually a stack sits in one large contiguous block of memory, so isn't divided into chunks, this means one big piece of memory is needed for it, and this makes it hard for the runtime to try and grow the space reserved for the stack if it fills up.
A stack-overflow can often occur when a function is accidentally written that calls itself. Sometimes it's ok for a function to call itself as long as there is an 'if' or some condition in the function that stops the calls at some point. This is called a recursive function. But, if there is no stopping and the function keeps calling itself, or maybe two or more functions keep calling each other, then very quickly they will eat all of the stack memory up. When there's none left, you get a stack-overflow and the program crashes.
It is possible for this to happen in any program, they don't necessarily have to be complex, and it can happen in code running a website. And, it can occur in scripting languages too.
A stack overflow happens when you use too much stack space. There is generally two situations when this happens:
The first is when you have an error in the code, causing a recursive loop without an exit. For example a property reading from itself:
The second is when you have a recursive loop that is too deep. As the stack space is limited, you can only nest an algorithm a certain number of times. If your algorithm is nested too deep so that it runs out of stack space before it exists, you get a stack overflow. Example:
If you call this method with a too large value, it will nest too deep and cause a stack overflow.
From wikipedia, of couse:
ha, your english is a bit hard to understand, but i think i get what your asking.
a stack overflow occurs when you are using a stack (duh...) and there is a memory allocation/reading problem. in "web programs", as you put it (i assume you are talking about HTML, PHP, JS), either you don't use stacks or the language used does not allow for low level memory control which prevents these problems.

After getting WordPress and setting up my site, I soon found problems with Google not indexing my site. When reading up on the problem, I couldn't really find an answer to the problem other than people saying to just give it time. With my passed sites, I found Google to be able to index the sites with in minutes.
Well, I gave it a week and a day and still no action from Google. Google was crawling my site like mad:
Number of pages crawled per day
Maximum 359
Average 194
Minimum 45
I setup a Google Webmaster tools account, yet Google just would not index my site. This being my first time using WordPress I was starting to wonder if maybe Google had something with WordPress blogs or even the new domain I bought.
Then one day as I was in my car driving home I had an idea of what the problem could be. Racing home to see if my vision was right, I found it was. After fixing the problem, Google index my site within seconds.
The problem?
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
What this function does is put in meta links to all archives on a given site such as:
<link rel="alternate" type="
This may seem like a great idea, but it's not at all. What is happening is that you are more or less putting the crawler in a big loop. It's finding these links in your header and going to them and not even getting to your site which in turn means your site isn't going to get indexed anytime soon.
So if you find that you are having problems, remove the above function or any other function that adds this type of data in your header. These functions can be found in the theme's header.php file. An example of a header.php file before cleaning it up looked like this:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
I would removed all four such lines of code. Again, after I did remove it, seconds later, Google indexed my site. When I say seconds, I mean seconds. After uploading the header.php file and then going back to Google Webmaster Tools Google showed that it was indexed.
I hope this helps all that may be having problems trying to get their site indexed.

I tried the Page Restrict and WP Members plugins. Both seem to be doing the trick (at least for me).
Thanks - does that work for just one post only? (not the whole site?)
Yes, Page Restrict for instance will give you a list of the pages of your website (and I assume posts as well, but my site doesn't have any) and you can just select whichever one you want to hide behind a login form.
Thanks - I can get both installed but can't get Page restrict to give me any settings?
WP Member seems to work - but for all posts - how do I restrict that to just one?
I'm sorry but I've already uninstalled WP Members. In my case the settings for Page Restrict are under Settings -> Page Restrict in the WP Dashboard. When you click that, a screen should open that allows you to restrict specific pages and posts and which message people should get when they're not logged in.
Did you activate Page Restrict or only install it?
Hi - Both are installed - WP Members _ i cant figure out out how to restrict it to just one pots, not all ...
Page Restrict - even when activated I cant see many settings?
You don't see the Admin page anywhere?:
Admin Page screenshot
Hmmm, weird. It works perfectly fine on my website.
I can only see where it gives the tick box to restrict all posts in options, other tabs are fields, dialogs, emails etc.
Even when i click block all posts and tehn go to an individual post to unlock it, it stays locked. Cant see your admin page anywhere - can you pint me in teh direction to get to it?
Groan! Given up on wp members.
Ok I can get Page restrict to restrict just oen post, but how do you get a registration form to come up (or set one up?) - seems to just give you a login option...
I think my website works differently than yours. I only want colleagues to be able to register and I can add them myself as WordPress users, so I don't need a registration form. I assume you want the possibility for people visiting your site to register, right?
Maybe this helps?

[T]he book is at once elegant and lyrical, while also offering an intensely paced and action-driven plot for readers who are seeking adventure along with poetic contemplation.
--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
This stand-alone fantasy has a unique setting with an intriguing history and a suspenseful plot. --Booklist
The story offers crisp dialogue, an exciting plot, and strong secondary characters. --Kirkus
