We Have A Weiner: Joey Chestnut Defends Hot-Dog-Eating Crown
Joey "Jaws" Chestnut ate eight fewer hot dogs than last year, but that didn't prevent him from defending his title at Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest in New York.
Chestnut of San Jose, Calif., devoured 61 hot dogs and buns in the allotted 10 minutes. He ate 69 last year. But that wasn't the only reason for Chestnut to celebrate: Just before the competition began on Coney Island, he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Neslie Ricasa, also a competitive eater. She said yes.
Matt Stonie finished second. He ate 56 hot dogs and buns.
ESPN has more: "The 61 hot dogs and buns equates to 23,790 calories, 1,189.5 grams of fat, 60,390 milligrams of sodium, 2,245 grams of carbohydrates and 793 grams of protein."
The returning female champion, Sonya "Black Widow" Thomas of Alexandria, Va., wasn't as lucky. She was shocked by Miki Sudo, who ate 34 franks and buns in the allotted time. Thomas managed only 27 ¾. Last year, Thomas wolfed down 45.

Hunger Games: Character Assignment
- Dynamic Character: Katniss Everdeen is a dynamic chacter because she shows change through the story. In the beginning Katniss is an independent person, only relying on Gale sometimes. By the end of Hunger Games though she learns that it is not a bad thing to rely on other people. She also finds out that she loves Gale and Peeta, by the end of the book, compared to when she loved no one in the beginning. All though Katniss is not my favorite charcter she does play a big role in Hunger Games.
- Static Character:Peeta Mellark is a static charcter because he shows no change through out the story. He stays that down to earth person through out the entire book. Peeta also said that he wouldn't let the capitol change him and he stayed true to his word.Peeta also plays a big part in the Hunger Games.
- Round Character: Katniss Everdeen is also a round charcter because we know what she is thinking and feeling through the entire story.Since Katniss is the main charcter. We know her feelings. For example, when she sees Peeta has joined the carrers. She felt hurt and angry of being betrayed.
- Flat Character: Prim Everden is a flat charcter because she helps the story along. We don't know much about Prim except that everyone loves her, she's just a wonderful person. She helps the plot along because when Katniss was in the arena Katniss thinks of her and what Prim would do if she was not there to take care of her. So thats what keeps Katniss going during the Games.

The Gray-Hoverman Antenna For UHF Television Reception – Digital Home Canada
While searching for a link for my brother on building antennas for HDTV (you guys are all ready for the oncoming digital TV Apocalypse, aren't you?) I found this interesting link on an antenna which seems very good, and suitable for amateur construction. Seems like I could use some of the 12 gauge wire I used to make my Cheap Yagi to make this antenna in an hour or so. Might be a fun experiment, although since I live at the bottom of a rather narrow valley, I doubt it will render hdtv service tenable at my current location.
The Gray-Hoverman Antenna For UHF Television Reception - Digital Home Canada.
Addendum: Here's a link to the general dimensions for the single bay version. It's got two layers: he first has a pair of zig zag elements, and the "reflectors" are 100mm behind. Should be quite simple to fabricate.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
How long will it take to get pregnant after I get off my birth control?
Ovulation could return as early as the next menstrual cycle after you stop taking birth control pills, although regular cycles (every 24 to 32 days) could be delayed for a few months. Once your ovulatory cycle does return, your chances of getting pregnant are about 20% per month. If regular cycles don't return within six months after you stop taking birth control, talk with your doctor.

At Lola Kay we are on a mission to make classically elegant wines priced for everyday enjoyment. Easier said than done. We are tenacious in finding the best vineyard selections for our bottlings. The intriguing results speak for themselves.
Our wines have a consistent house style of exceptional balance, brightness and complexity. Accordingly we avoid the heavy oak / overipe fruit thing. Instead we focus on verve and grace in the glass.
Our signature Lola Kay Proprietary Red Wine is a sophisticated Red Blend composed of small lot Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and in some years Petit Verdot, Syrah and/or Carmenere. The exact blend changes a bit from year to year to adjust for vintage variation, yet the wine remains consistently bright, balanced and delicious.
We are second generation Napa vintners Peter Rubissow and Napa winemaker Timothy Milos. Together we've been growing grapes and making wine in Napa Valley long enough to know that a wine is only as good as the grapes it's made from. We take this idea to heart, and make the absolute best wines we possibly can for the price.

I've been on a kick lately to sample some of our great old fragrances. This is mainly in response to the fact that everyone and their dog has a celebu-scent out these days. I went to the Mall of America the other day--I live in Minnesota--which is a rare enough event. I thought I'd slip into Nordstrom and try out some of the great Guerlain fragrances. I was shocked that they carried ONLY Shalimar (and absolutely that was a reformulated version); meanwhile Jo Malone is creeping out, taking more space along with other newer-comers.
Now, I don't have anything against Malone or any other "house" that's been around less than, oh, 75 years, but I found it shocking that--in my marching around the entire cosmetics/fragrance area at least twice--so few of the great fragrances were on offer. So, hopes dashed, I tried Coco Noir before I left and was totally underwhelmed by that. Noir? Where's the "noir"?
So I ventured forth on the Internet and discovered Surrender to Chance. What a find! What fun! I used Fragrantica as a reference to guide my choices. I will add a review for vintage Emeraude (lovely!) one of these days, and Habanita. StoC didn't have vintage L'origan, so off to e-bay.
I got a bottle of cologne, in a little utilitarian bottle, not a rare vintage version, and all I can say is that I find it delightful. It does NOT smell like all the vanilla/caramel/fruity scents that I smell wafting around when I'm out and about. I am not a "nose," nor do I have the ability to isolate notes and name them. I was a little alarmed at first whiff, because of a sort of strong medicinal/clove smell. But that literally went away in about 15 seconds, and then I was left with this lovely orange/spicy/powdery scent that is just so comforting and warming. I dabbed some on some of my winter sweaters and one of my hair brushes.
You can read more about notes and get really creative descriptions of this fragrance in other reviews. What I want to say is that this is a little gem that somehow ended up as an afterthought at the drugstore, if even that any more. I have an eau de parfum mini of Guerlain's L'heure bleue, and this L'origan smells the way I WISH L'heure bleue would. From what I have read about Coty and the earliest perfumes, L'origan and Emeraude were very much inspired by that time in history, and (I can't remember which one) was the inspiration for the Guerlain scent.
When I run out of my little bottle, I just might consider going for a true vintage. We'll see. I'm terrified I'll get something that smells like pine tar or something. I find this very beautiful, not "rough around the edges," and not at all like the fragrances pouring out onto the already saturated market these days. Oldies ARE oftentimes goodies, and price point doesn't necessarily correspond directly to quality. I got a lovely lovely fragrance for less than $10. Score!

A friend has gifted me with a decant of the vintage "parfum de toilette" concentration... essentially an EDP, this version has not been commercially available since the 1960's, and is thought to be closer to the original 1909 blend than the current "cologne mist" now being produced.
On initial spray, I get a burst of brilliant aldehydes mingled with sweet orange, an almost fruity neroli, and a green/citrus suspicion of coriander. Gradually, the clove/eugenol note appears, blended beautifully with rose; the two, married, give the smeller the "fantasy note" of carnation. A subtle hint of black pepper contributes its silvery burn to the spicy floral accord. A lovely, old-fashioned jasmin note peers through the spicy rose. A prominent tonka/coumarin note gives L'ORIGAN its unique "cherry/almond/tobacco" quality. What is never discussed, in reviews of L'ORIGAN, is its considerable note of methyl salicylate, a chemical smell we all recognize, as it is what gives that "wintergreen" scent to products like Pepto-Bismol, Ben-Gay, the old Pepsodent Tooth powder, that green-tinted rubbing alcohol, those pink wintergreen candy disks, and (drumroll, please) those wax lips and wax vampire teeth--- semi-chewable, as we remember--- that nearly every American kid remembers from Hallowe'en. Also, wintergreen/methyl salicylate is a prominent ingredient in American root-beers and sarsaparilla drinks. In fine perfumery, it is often used, in extremely subtle doses, to accentuate the aura of white flowers like tuberose and gardenia. In L'ORIGAN, methyl salicylate gives its wintergreen quality to the base of a sweet candied vanilla and a creamy sandalwood.
All in all, L'ORIGAN gives us the idea of a sweet, candied pomander or retro candy lozenge. It is a subtle, friendly, kind scent, which one likely wears today as a "comfort scent" rather than a dramatic "evening out" scent. Sillage is extremely restrained, in keeping with the perfumes of the earliest years of the 20thc. That it smells winsomely old-fashioned...is exactly what is gratifying about it, as it seems to offer a window into an Art Nouveau-ornate, Mucha/Klimt sort of fin-de-siecle arabesque; one pictures "Rose" from TITANIC wearing it, or "Lady Edith" from DOWNTON ABBEY. (Redheads, take note.) My Russian friends tell that L'ORIGAN is very similar indeed to the famous Soviet scent, KRASNAYA MOSKVA ("Red Moscow").
L'ORIGAN exists, I would say, in an olfactory niche somewhere between Guerlain MITSOUKO and L'HEURE BLEUE, although those two Guerlains are much more complex and "busy" (and expensive) than sweet 'n' simple L'ORIGAN is; like LHB, l'ORIGAN conveys a candied vanilla/marzipan/powder impression, but its prominent clove/eugenol signature places it closer to MITSOUKO.
At present, the European body IFRA has forbidden the use of eugenol in commercial perfumery.... and that unmistakeable clove note is a central player in L'ORIGAN; how they'll produce modern versions of the old beloved perfume is uncertain.
I've just ordered a bottle of the new "cologne mist", and I shall be very curious to see how it differs from the PdT I'm trying now.
Highly recommended, and a "must try" for any serious perfumista, as it is the spiritual great-grandmother of every modern spicy, oriental and gourmand--- quite a claim.

I sampled L'heure Blue at Neimans after reading the stories about L'Origan and L'heure Blue . Frankly I was REALLY let down by L'heure Blue and was expecting that I would not care for L' Origan, which I had ordered out of curiousity . To my shock , I spritzed it and discovered perfume HEAVEN . This is the most FEMININE fragrance I have ever smelled . It is incredibly balanced - a VERY soft floral and spicy oriental . I detect some jasmine, orange blossom , vanilla , and a subtle hint of clove . At times it reminds me a bit of Tresor with a hint of soft spicy orange blossom . When I sniff it , I imagine a classy feminine lady like Carole Lombard wearing it .
Incredibly , this very feminine soft scent has perfect projection. It is not intrusive, yet it makes a distinctive statement like nothing else I have tried! . As far as lasting , it is incredible. Too bad this is one a lot of women have never tried . It totally deserves a spot next to my Coco Chanel and Dior Addict .
There are a few other fragrance bargains I have found that have blown me away : Tojours Moi , Charlie ( original in blue bottle ) and a super cheapie that smells fabulous called " Va Va Voom " . Each of these is an intriguing combination , lasts a long time , and smells terriffic for a pittance . They smell "upscale " and merit far more attention than many fragrances that are overpriced , short lived and not original.

My impression of this comes from the fact that I've been using the Airspun powder for months prior to purchasing this fragrance. In a nutshell, they smell identical, especially upon dry down. I do now know for sure, but I would believe other reviewer who said that Coty scents the powder with this fragrance. The actual fragrance is kind of orangey, kind of powdery....I can't describe it, especially since my my first impression was from the use of he cosmetic product. If you like the old Coty fragrances, you probably will like this. I got mine from Amazon for about $8. If you are curious, try it! It's a great little find.

I also get the strong onset of orange blossoms, but it instantly begins to mellow out into a soft, powdery scent, almost more tuberose than orange blossoms, with distinct notes of dried milk. It's really quite lovely and soothing. To some degree, it does smell its age to me as I first smelled this as a child, so perception is colored by recollection, but lately I've been able to separate it from memory and it's just such a comforting, soft, feminine scent. I just bought a bottle for $12, so it's hard to beat the price. Creamy, milky, sweet blossoms with a hint of spice. Lovely.

After reading other reviews, I am amazed at how differently individuals find this fragrance. All I get out of it is orange blossoms and jasmine. This was a signature fragrance of one of my aunts and that is how I was introduced to it. It was my signature scent for a long time.
L'Origan got me the most positive comments from others, especially men. I was crushed when it was discontinued but am glad to hear it is available again. It definitely smelled better on me than on some of my friends who tried it. However, one of my coworkers did not like it, saying it was too sweet and he did not like jasmine. He was a fan of rose scents which I do not like. I have an old bottle of L'Origan that has held up very well in the aging, too. EDIT: Like many scents, L'Origan lasts longer when sprayed on your hair or clothes. Body chemistry can "kill" many fragrances prematurely.

I have only smelt new bottles of this but to me it smells like Caron's Narcisse Noir. Find it interesting how people seem to smell different things in it. It's unusual, slightly 'musty' (in a good way), and has character in my opinion. Lovely to know it's been around in one form or another since 1905. I gather Noir was 1911 so may be something of the time in that sort of smell.

It goes on medicinal and clovey and dries down to smell exactly like the face powder, and I mean that in the most literal way. It's good, but not really 'me'. My friend loves it, though, and the price can't be beaten.

At first this reminded me alot of Habanita by Molinard - it smelled like an old fashioned lipstick, that strong perfumey waxy scent. Then after about an hour it softened into a powdery rose. It smells kind of old fashioned and there are much nicer perfumes out there I really don't see the point of this.

YOUNGSTOWN — The city is among the top 10 fastest-dying cities in the U.S., according to a Forbes article published on the magazine's Web site today.
The article did not rank the cities in any particular order but did reference information collected by the U.S. Census Bureau for each city, including migration since 2000, total population change, unemployment rate for June 2008 and annualized gross domestic product growth.
Forbes' list of dying cities does not hold much meaning for Mayor Jay Williams, though.
"One list from someone who has not been to Youngstown and seen what is going on doesn't have much credibility with me," Williams said. "You can take data and have the data say anything you want."
For the complete story, see Wednesday's Vindicator and Vindy.com.
Baloney! I agree with Mayor Williams. All Forbes does is tell us what we already know; Youngstown is a shrinking city. Shrinking is not the same thing as dying, and I would challenge Forbes to visit Youngstown and do a story on that.
This is a misleading headline and should be corrected. Forbes's data is for the "Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Penn., metropolitan statistical area." Not that it's any rosier an advertisement for the region, but let's at least talk facts.
Grump, you're exactly right - that's the very thing I was thinking when I read that story. Jay's delusional.
All you other people who think Youngstown is doing OK, just shrinking a bit, you need to take yourself out of the area for a while, and look around. Especially, check out how people treat other people, in all situations. This valley has been so messed up for so long that you who've never been out of the area don't even remember what prosperity looks like.
Broaden your horizons, people! This valley is still famous for its corruption and its refusal to change the way things are done. There are serious problems that need to be corrected, and with the clowns currently in office, not just in the city although certainly including it, we're never going to turn anything around.
Is this really news? Youngstown recognized that it was shrinkning and implemented the Youngstown 2010 plan to manage the transition. In addition, it has been recognized that manufacturing will no longer provide the engine for economic growth in the Mahoining Valley which is why the Youngstown Business Inucbator was created.
A major drag on any type of economic success is a lack of regionalization on the part of the area. JEDD's have been used successfully elsewhere to encourage investment but Mayor Williams got off on the wrong foot in attempting to use them in areas that had already been developed. Also, the region has too much government for its population. Most agencies and departments could be combined for regional service to lower the tax burden.
The tools are available to remove the region from this list but it will require changes that are uncomfortable to some people.
The suburbs are included in this as well this is talking about the entire area. So if you step out your small world you would realize that we are all in this together. its attitudes like yours that contributes to what this articles is saying.
Yes, Tyler's got the real facts here. It is not just Youngstown on that list, but this entire region. If only people around here realized that the entire region is often spoken for under the name of Youngstown, not because of it's history of corruption, but because it was the biggest center of an economy that gave birth to the area at one time. If only cultural memory wasn't so short and stunted in these parts.
From Forbes itself:
Youngstown, Ohio
(Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Penn., metropolitan statistical area)
Migration (since 2000): -28,435
Total population change: -32,260
June 2008 Unemployment: 7.3% (2000 average: 5.8%)
Annualized GDP growth: 1.2%
While Forbes might be loosely including the suburbs in this survey, Youngstown is primarily the target of the decay.
Suburban populations have remained fairly constant or even grown during the time period where Youngstowns population has dropped precipitously. Crime in the suburbs is fairly tame and consistent, while Youngstowns crime is at or near the top of the crime stats.
Youngstown needs to downsize and cut their taxes in order to facilitate economic growth not increase taxes and rape the suburbs to maintain the status quo.
Don't have time for a lengthy reply. But, crime wasn't even a factor in the Forbes report.
Net, net, we need jobs here to make people stay. Long neglected, any thoughts of maintaining college educated youth. All the worry is always about GM & unions but people ignore white collar jobs. Hello! Wake up! Unions aren't the answer for everyone or the reality. If we want our children to stay or return, we need more businesses that want skilled, educated workers, too. Along with the jobs, good public schools are needed to get people to settle in Ytown limits & not the suburbs. We ALL (as in suburbs) need to come together & not see this as a Ytown only problem.
Crime is one of the reasons people move out of Youngstown.
I was born and raised in Boardman and moved out of the state 10 years ago. I now live in Oklahoma. For those of you who don"t think Youngstown is dying, leave for a while and then go back . I can remember as a young child being at a football game at South High School(when it was still open) and seeing a set of brass knuckles for the first time. Yeah, a little scary for a child. Since then they have closed South High School. They have also closed Southside Hospital, Tod's Childrens Hospital and I hear Northside is next. What's left. Anybody remember Idora Park, gee it's closed now too! Look around. The crime rate is high and who really wants their kids to grow up around that. Youngstown never really had a good reputation and it's only gotten worse over the years. Good luck to anybody who thinks they can fix it now!
A letter to the editor today said this: "Among other foibles, our mayor and city council have spent almost $200,000 on two studies that neither Boardman, Austintown, Struthers, nor Campbell are interested in because implementation will ensnare them in the dismal politics of Youngstown city government."
And that's coming from a city resident. Anyone who speaks of 'coming together' right now is a fool.
I lived in youngstown (yes I know its in all lowercase thats how much respect I have for the city) for 20 years, I recently just moved to Charlotte, NC. After seeing the beauty and life that Charlotte has, I know now that Mayor Williams' 2010 plan is just his way of blowing smoke up our a**. youngstown was once a great steel city,in between Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Now youngstown has turned into a filthy, crime and drug ridden hell hole. Small business owners are losing jobs left and right and no one seems to care. So I ask Mayor Williams, do you really think youngstown has a chance? Honestly, I feel that youngstown will slowly, but surely become just another town someone drives through on their way to somewhere nicer and larger. I know one thing, I will never return to youngstown unless its to visit family and friends, and hopefully convince them to leave.
If you think the same way and expect different results you'll be disappointed not to mention frustrated.
This is a sad, but accurate, statement about Youngstown. I must agree with many of the comments, one needs to simply leave the area and experience other communities to really see the degradation of a once vibrant steel town. I too left right after my college graduation, 25 years ago. It saddens me to see the city struggle, I still have some family (many have moved to the South near me) and friends in the Youngstown area, they all seem to struggle with economic conditions.
If Youngstown isn't decaying, nothing is. One of the problems with population loss is that the more talented people move away and the bad ones stay. That way you need just as many police as when you had 167,000 people.

I'm quite familiar with the Ultimate CSV Importer plugin and converting/adapting .csv files to import stories and pages. But now I have to import users as well, from another CMS, and importing users is new to me.
There are encrypted passwords in the excisting userdata and I'm not sure if I can import these without converting them first to unencrypted, or that I have to encrypt them another way. Here is a sample of one line from the userdatabase:
(27,'MyUserName','I write about everything','email@example.com','72711e1e6c5f97dae70cd14acc025bab',33,0,'',0,0,1,'ip-address','29-04-2013 07:19:26')
Question: can I import this encrypted password without any hassle? I'm also open for suggestions about the best plugin I can use.

The combination of ample moisture and an approaching disturbance will likely lead to scattered thunderstorms by mid-late afternoon. A few of these storms could be strong/severe with frequent lightning, quarter-size hail, and locally heavy rainfall the main threats. While we can't rule out an isolated tornado, the best chance (albeit slight) of this occuring would be over Baca County.

The Branford Community Foundation, the leader in supporting a variety of local philanthropic needs, programs and services for more than 35 years, has distributed two grants to area not-for-profit organizations: $5,000 to VNA Community Healthcare, Inc. (VNA) in support of creating Health Chat, a locally televised health education series for Branford residents 60 and older,…[ Read More ]
The mission of the Branford Community Foundation is to connect people who care with causes that matter, for the purpose of preserving and promoting the quality of life in Branford, Connecticut, now and for generations to come.
The Branford Community Foundation (BCF) started in 1980 with a small boy and a swing set. Five-year old Darin Etzel was ill with a rare blood disease. Darin and his family had to travel to NYC for a bone marrow treatment. Friends wanted Darin to have something special to look forward to at the end of his difficult time, so they raised $770 to buy him a terrific swing set, which was hope for the future. Sadly, Darin developed complications and died on January 1, 1980. In his memory, his family wanted to carry the "hope for the future" that their friends had wanted for them into the greater community. The Branford Community Foundation began with the $770 raised for Darin's swing set.
Today, thanks to the generous support of donors and careful financial investment, BCF maintains over one million dollars in endowed funds and invests over $50 thousand in the community each year. The BCF works everyday to help address the most pressing issues facing our community, including basic needs, health, education, the arts, the environment, youth and civic engagement. In so doing, the BCF impacts lives, solves problems, and improves futures.

Last night, I attended a Nicole Henry jazz performance at a local jazz venue. It was a weekday night and the venue wasn't nearly as crowded as the last time I was there.
Her performance and the band's performance were both great. Nicole has a great voice and vocal range. I'm not much of a music critic nor have I had any musical training, but it seems like I'm liking jazz a lot more now than I did before.

Just like His Perryness, the Texas Association of Business wants public education to be "open for business". The corporate world envisions education as the last untapped monetary frontier. I can just imagine educational corporateurs salivating and smacking their lips in anticipation of taking over education in Texas, but I never dreamed it would happen this quickly and easily; without so much as a whimper of protest from the general public.
Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, issued a statement this morning after Gov. Rick Perry accused him of scuttling laws against sanctuary cities -- cities that do not enforce immigration laws.
The commenting is going hot and heavy over at the blog maintained by Texas Monthly's Paul Burka, where work has begun on picking the best and worst legislators of the 2011 session.
A bill trying to clarify the modern balance between a landowner's groundwater ownership and groundwater district rules, the state's preferred regulation, could face a long road in the House.
It's not a bumpy road but a pointy one for legislation requiring Texans present certain photo identification to vote.
Senate Natural Resources Committee unanimously passed out of committee a bill that recognizes both a landowner's interest in groundwater and a water district's right to regulate it. But the bill has a long way to go before the next step, its author warned.
Gov. Rick Perry lent his name to a deal that would draw "no more than $3.2 billion" from the state's reserves to balance the remainder of this budget year.
Many of you hated a statewide property tax. Prefer a business income tax?

1. Put a specific category of post on a page- tips and tricks for example
2. Allow non-registered visitors to add a limited post to a page similar to a status update. This would be anonymous with no links allowed.
Any suggestions would be welcome!

N.Z. Currency, Stocks Maintain Weekly Declines as Election Looms
New Zealand's currency and stocks were little changed, maintaining weekly declines, before a general election tomorrow that polls show may not deliver a clear majority to either of the main two parties.
Support for Prime Minister John Key's governing National Party fell to 49.5 percent in a Roy Morgan Research poll of 959 people taken from Nov. 22-24, down from 53 percent last week. Should the latest forecast prove accurate, Key would need backing from smaller parties to form government.
Investors expect a National Party win, possibly with support from minor parties, said Craig Brown, senior investment analyst at fund manager OnePath. The latest polls suggest ACT, a party that backs the Nationals, may struggle to get a parliamentary seat. Support for Winston Peters' New Zealand First, which Key has ruled out working with, rose to 6.5 percent, enough for it to return to parliament.
"He could be the kingmaker," said Nigel Brunel at Auckland-based fund manager OM Financial, referring to Peters. "That is where the uncertainty and perhaps the reaction in the markets will come. If it does drag on, we may see the kiwi weaker, we may see our bond yields slightly rise in the face of that uncertainty."
The main opposition Labour Party dropped to 23.5 percent from 24.5 percent support, Roy Morgan said on its website. The Green Party was backed by 14.5 percent and ACT remained at 1.5 percent. New Zealand's so-called mixed member proportional electoral system includes a nationwide vote that allocates some of the seats in parliament to parties that receive above 5 percent support.
Dollar Declining
The New Zealand dollar may extend this month's 8.1 percent decline against the U.S. currency if National gets too little support to declare victory, said Mike Burrowes, a currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand Ltd. in Wellington.
"The scenario, which is probably negative for kiwi, is if ACT doesn't get in, National doesn't get a clear majority and you have the potential for a Labour-Greens coalition government," he said. "The reason that will be negative is not so much because there are huge policy differences between them, but more that there will be uncertainty for a period of a couple of weeks until a coalition government is formed."
New Zealand's benchmark stock index, the Top 50, declined 0.2 percent to 3236.11 as of 12:15 p.m. in Wellington, heading for a third weekly drop. The nation's currency fell 0.1 percent to 74.05 U.S. cents and weakened 2.1 percent since Nov. 18.
The kiwi touched 73.86 cents on Nov. 23, the least since March 23, and its slide against the greenback this month has been the largest among 16 major counterparts after Brazil's real.
Europe Crisis
The currency dropped as concerns about Europe's debt crisis spurred investors to cut bets on an interest-rate increase in New Zealand within the next 12 months. Swaps traders are wagering Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Alan Bollard will cut the record-low 2.5 percent benchmark by 22 basis points within a year, after speculating on an increase as recently as Nov. 9, a Credit Suisse Group AG Index shows.
Government yields fell by an average 174 basis points this year to 3.55 percent on Nov. 16, an all-time low, Bloomberg/ EFFAS indexes show. Rates dropped even as borrowings rose 28 percent to NZ$70.9 billion ($52.6 billion) as of October, partly to fund rebuilding after the nation's deadliest earthquake in 80 years.
Risk Aversion
If the election doesn't deliver a clear winner, "then markets will view that, I would expect, quite negatively," said OnePath's Brown. "In this current turbulent world we're operating in, people are very risk averse and very uncertain and you can't rule out a possibly more extreme reaction than you would normally get."
Brown wouldn't expect a "significant" drop in equities. The Top 50 index is down 2 percent this year, the best performance in the developed world.
Global uncertainty remains a bigger risk for New Zealand markets in the long term and tomorrow's election isn't being viewed as a significant market event, said Stan Shamu, a strategist at IG Markets in Melbourne.
"Regardless of who comes to power, I think they will still need some global confidence for them to do well. That's more of an issue for the moment than leadership, especially for a place like New Zealand, where traditionally politics has never been a big factor."

Hello wp experts,
I just bought a wp theme but this theme doesn't have page templates with side bars just like almost every wp template.
So I want to add myself to my theme this custom page templete (just an average 2/3 body 1/3 right sidebar).
I'm not a coder, but I think this is simple customization that anyone with the right orientation con handle.
Could anyone put me on the right way?
I know that I have to create a child theme, but I don't know what this child theme must content.

Herbal products are complex mixtures of organic chemicals that may come from any raw or processed part of a plant, including leaves, stems, flowers, roots, and seeds. Under the current law, herbs are defined as dietary supplements, and manufacturers can therefore produce, sell, and market herbs without first demonstrating safety and efficacy, as is required for pharmaceutical drugs. Although herbs are often perceived as "natural" and therefore safe, many different side effects have been reported owing to active ingredients, contaminants, or interactions with drugs.
Unfortunately, there is limited scientific evidence to establish the safety and efficacy of most herbal products. Of the top 10 herbs, 5 (ginkgo, garlic, St. John's wort, soy, and kava) have scientific evidence suggesting efficacy, but concerns over safety and a consideration of other medical therapies may temper the decision to use these products.
Herbal products are not likely to become an important alternative to standard medical therapies unless there are changes to the regulation, standardization, and funding for research of these products.

Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert is slowly adding to his stable of sports franchises with the recent report by Cleveland Scene's Vince Grzegorek stating that he is in line to complete a purchase of the Cleveland Gladiators, the region's Arena Football League franchise.
Crain's Cleveland has piled on to Grzegorek's news earlier this morning, saying that, though nothing is imminent, the two sides could eventually reach an agreement that would net Gilbert a franchise that would play their contests during the months in which his other two teams are in the midst of an offseason.
Already a member of the ownership team for the Cavaliers as well as the Lake Erie Monsters, Cleveland's American Hockey League franshise, Gilbert is slowly becoming the prinicpal force behind all teams which play inside of his venue, Quicken Loans Arena, named after the retail mortgage lender which he founded and serves as chairman.
Gilbert is also the driving force behind the pending Horseshoe Casino that will grace the fronts of the Cuyahoga River directly across from the Arena and all of Cleveland's Gateway District. Given the foot traffic that is expected to be largely rooted in Arena events, Gilbert's attempt at cornering this market is one of logic. With Gilbert's cash flow and willingness to spend in order to build, once this transaction is complete, look for plenty of cross-promotion and increased exposure of his brand new acquisition.
