Guideposts Classics: Loretta Lynn on a Mother's Love
Guideposts Classics: Loretta Lynn on a Mother's Love
On her 84th birthday, we share this story from August 1990 in which the country music legend muses on faith, family and loss.
If I'm anything in this world, I'm a wife and mother. I do enjoy my performing and musical career, but it's my family that means most. We had six kids, and my husband and I have a special, mystical bond with each of them. That bond is the only way I can explain what happened with me and my boy Jack.
The strange story started with my mystery illness on a summer Sunday a few years back. I'd done a concert at the Kansas City Opera, the last stop on the tour. We were on the bus heading home for Tennessee when out of the blue I started feeling bad and went to lie down.
Early the next morning, my friend Lorene Allen woke up with the feeling she should check on me, and it was a good thing she did: I was having trouble breathing. The bus had pulled into a truck stop in Illinois, and Lorene got off, hollering, "Call an ambulance!"
At the emergency room they thought I was already dead, but the doctors didn't give up. They worked till I started breathing again, then admitted me to intensive care.
I hardly remember anything in intensive care until the fourth day. My husband, Doolittle, had come up from Tennessee to tell me what had to be told. "I got news, Loretta, and it's bad," he said. "Jack's dead."
And it was like I died all over again. There's no pain on this earth like losing a child.
Jack was different from my other kids in one way. The others all wanted to follow me in their own singing careers. But Jack's main interest was farming. He had the same love I do for planting and doing with my hands.
Jack, who'd married a pretty little girl named Barbara, had a girl and a boy—and had a new little redheaded baby girl named Jenny. They lived on Barbara's grandmother's farm just up the road from our ranch, so Jack was over at our place often, helping out with the planting or in the stables.
To this day I believe the moment I collapsed on that bus was the moment my boy died. And when Jack died, a piece of me left with him.
They didn't find my boy for three days after he drowned.
Little things came back to me, like the honeybees when Jack was just a tyke. Back then we lived in Washington State in a house that was real tiny. It had two bedrooms and the bathroom was back outside. I mean country. Jack was 2 then, and Betty, our oldest, was 3. Those kids loved to play outside.
The man we rented the house from had honeybees. Well, those kids were fascinated, and so Betty took a stick and stirred up those doggone bees. I was in the kitchen when I heard the commotion. And here comes those two little kids across the yard, lickety-split, hollerin' and cryin'. Jack's little legs weren't long enough to get moving right. So he got stung up the worst. Thing is, I felt those stings worse than Jack did.
If, 30 years later, I could still smart from those bees, how could I ever get past the sting of knowing my boy had suffered and died all by himself?
I tried hard to remember the good times, how Jack was no trouble growing up. He did good in school. He liked football, but baseball was his favorite. He was big and strong and happy. Just like his daddy. The spittin' image. In fact, in some ways, he and his daddy were too much alike. Sometimes they'd just butt heads.

Pulitzer Reprise
Roxanne Drops a Blue-Blooded Beau to Wed Well-Heeled Husband No. 3—and Braces for a Palm Beach Backlash Led by Her Furious New Mother-in-Law
As a novelist, Roxanne, 42, is more often mentioned in the same breath with Ivana Trump than, say, Charles Dickens. (Her most recent potboiler, Facade, was faintly praised by one critic as "short...and probably not the worst book ever published.") But Roxanne has an undeniable talent for roiling the waters in staid old Palm Beach. The society doyennes there have never forgiven her for her very messy 1982 divorce from second husband Peter Pulitzer, heir to the Pulitzer publishing fortune. The sordid details included Roxanne's sharing her bed with a variety of lovers as well as a trumpet, used as a "metaphysical outlet." Roxanne has again set tongues wagging on the diamond-encrusted play-land with her third marriage, on Oct. 16, to aspiring speedboat racer John Haggin Jr., 35. and her breakup with Jean, Comte de la Moussaye, 31, with whom she had had a two-year affair.
"I married my best friend," bubbles Roxanne happily from her two-bedroom apartment on the door above De la Moussaye's. She and Haggin, she says, eloped to Las Vegas and were wed in the Candlelight Wedding Chapel. "Imagine," she says, "before bed, we went to an Andrew Dice Clay concert."
Back from Vegas, Roxanne shared her joy with the people who matter most to her, starting with her twins Mae and Zac, 15, who live with their father. "The boys look it well," she says, "but Jean was livid. He pinned me against the wall with a golf club." De la Moussaye, whose family wealth has insulated him from ever actually having to hold a job, remembers the moment more poignantly. "Roxanne cried and held me and said she was sorry things didn't work out." he says. "We had been breaking up for several months." He says he wishes her well.
Someone who definitely docs not wish the newlyweds well is Roxanne's wealthy new mother-in-law, Naoma Haggin, 79. Naoma whisked John off on a six-week trip to the South Pacific just five days after the wedding. She has not met Roxanne—and she may never do so. "She is very upset that I married Roxanne," says John by telephone from Hawaii. So upset, "My mother has cut me off financially. She has disinherited me. But I am madly in love with Roxanne. I am not divorcing her." In fact, a close friend of the family says she is willing to bet that Naoma—whose fortune comes from Lakeside Press, which publishes the Yellow Pages—will try to have the marriage dissolved before she and John return home in early December.
Roxanne professes not to be upset by the storm clouds on her marital horizon and pines for her absent bridegroom. "He is a most giving person," she says. "He made a thousand sandwiches for victims of Hurricane Andrew. He works in soup kitchens." De la Moussaye is a little less charitable about his replacement. "He drinks beer from a keg in his living room," he mutters. "He has a moose head on the wall."
Roxanne thinks it's all sour grapes. "Palm Beach," she says, "is human nature in its lowest form. The wealthy people here are bored, with nothing to do. They hale to see people who are happy."

I think that I was scammed for two months' rent ($4,200) in NYC -- what can I do?
So I've found myself in a bit of a sticky situation and need advice. I recently subleased a studio in Manhatttan for a couple of months (April and May) from a guy ("John") whose lease expires at the end of May. He seems like a decent, reliable guy. He said that he's moving back home for a while to start a company (different state), and that he recently quit his job (financial services industry, upon looking him up myself). On move-in day, after helping him pack his car, he gave me the keys and was on his way. [more inside]

Because this plugin will be used with different contractors I have displayed:none on some of the tabs as I don't want them fiddling with settings. For this setup I have only "default details" and "email settings" only showing for this setup.
Question is:
Is there a way I can have the settings show on launch the "default details" tab to be active on launch. If you can point me in the right direction I will change this on my end and see how it goes.
Thanks for that,

I suspect an autoimmune problem with me along with my endometriosis (seem to go hand in hand) so I'm trying to up my vitamin C just a bit. I've never figured out how much is "too much" though?
I usually drink about 6-8 ounces of grapefruit juice (100% DV - 60 mg I think) plus the 150 mg that's in my prenatals. It's technically plenty, but would it be ok to also drink extra?

A new genus is recognized based on winged fruits with a single species shared between the Miocene of southwestern Honshu, Japan, and the Miocene of Oregon and Idaho, USA. Calyces of Ozakia emryi gen. et sp. n. were formerly attributed to Heptacodium (Caprifoliaceae) and Amelanchier (Rosaceae); however, newly recovered specimens reveal additional characters that contradict these assignments. The pedicellate fruits are obovate, tapering basally and truncate apically, with about 10 longitudinal ribs, a prominent epigynous synsepalous calyx of five lobes, each with a midvein and a pair of weaker, ascending intramarginal primary veins. The single style has a capitate stigma. Ozakia is considered to represent an extinct eudicot genus, the familial affinities of which remain uncertain. The eastern Asian–western North American disjunction of Ozakia occurrences suggests that this plant traversed the Beringia land bridge during or prior to the Middle Miocene. Relatively few extinct angiosperm genera are known as late as the Miocene.

'Slap In The Face'? 'Negro' Is On 2010 Census; Update: It's Been There Before
The Census Bureau says it includes "Negro" as a way for individuals to classify their race in the 2010 Census because some older African-Americans wrote it on their forms in 2000.
But many African-Americans find it insulting.
— "It's almost like a slap in the face," Nikyle Fitzgerald tells WTOL in Toledo.
— "I am a little offended," Dawud Ingram says to WCBS-TV.
— "It's a bad vibe word," Kevin Bishop says in the New York Daily News.
We've asked Census for some historical background on when the word has been used in the past. We'll update with that information.
Meanwhile, a question for the group:
We'll keep the question open for 48 hours.
Update at 1:10 p.m. ET: We've posted another update — with an image from the 2000 Census form — here.
Update at 9:40 a.m. ET: In a statement e-mailed to us this morning, the Census Bureau says that "56,175 respondents" wrote in the word "Negro" on their 2000 Census forms — even though the word was included on the form much as it is on the 2010 Census.
And Census public information officer Robert Crockett tells us that the word "Negro" has been on Census forms since at least 1950.
This year, Census says, the government is going to study the effects of removing the word from the forms.

Oil Near 2-Week Low on Concern Banks May Not Intervene
Oil rose from near its lowest closing level in two weeks in New York before the end of a Federal Reserve policy meeting and after a decline in crude stockpiles in the U.S., the world's largest consumer of the commodity.
U.S. crude inventories dropped by 11.6 million barrels last week, the most since September 2008, the American Petroleum Institute said yesterday. The Energy Department may say today that supplies fell 1 million barrels to 379.1 million, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will probably forgo announcing a third round of large-scale asset purchases this week and is more likely to wait until September to unveil plans to buy debt, economists said before today's policy statement.
"The U.S. government will do everything they can to keep the ball rolling, so I think we'll see more and more stimulus come into the market," said Gerrit Zambo, an oil trader at Bayerische Landesbank in Munich. "I don't see much upside for oil from a fundamental point of view, but if equity markets go up due to more stimulus, oil will follow."
Crude for September delivery was at $88.36 a barrel, up 30 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 12:27 p.m. London time. The contract yesterday decreased $1.72 to $88.06, the lowest close since July 13. Prices gained 3.7 percent last month and are 11 percent lower this year.
Brent oil for September settlement on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange was at $105.57 a barrel, up 65 cents. The European benchmark crude was at a premium of $17.25 to New York-traded West Texas Intermediate grade.

Oil's decline may accelerate in New York as an indicator known as the moving average convergence-divergence falls below its signal line for the first time in seven weeks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Investors tend to sell contracts on a so-called bearish MACD crossover. Futures have technical support around $85.85 a barrel, where the 50-day moving average coincides with the middle Bollinger Band.
A purchasing managers' index in China, the world's second-biggest oil consumer, fell to 50.1 in July, the lowest reading in eight months, data from the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing showed today. That's below a median estimate of 50.5 in a Bloomberg News survey of 24 economists. A reading above 50 signals an expansion and below 50 a contraction.
China Slowdown
"The PMI is below market expectations," said Selena Ling, head of treasury research and strategy at Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. in Singapore. "This suggests the Chinese growth slowdown will extend. This, coupled with the other dovish global economic signals, could keep oil prices somewhat subdued."
A separate purchasing managers' index released today by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics indicated that China's manufacturing contracted at a slower pace in July. The gauge, which covers more than 420 companies and is weighted toward smaller businesses, rose to 49.3 from 48.2 in June, after a preliminary reading of 49.5 released last week.
Oil output from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries fell a second month in July as Iranian production shrank to a 22-year low, according to a Bloomberg News survey. Output dropped 393,000 barrels, or 1.2 percent, to an average of 31.165 million barrels a day from 31.558 million in June, the survey of oil companies, producers and analysts showed. It was the second monthly decline after daily production reached 31.62 million barrels in May, the highest since October 2008.
Crude Stockpiles
Crude stockpiles in the U.S., the largest oil consumer, slid to 369.7 million barrels last week, the industry-funded API said yesterday.. Gasoline inventories decreased 1.3 million barrels, according to the API. The government report may show supplies rose 800,000 barrels.
"I would have anticipated the API data to be supportive but let's see what the Energy Department report shows," said Jonathan Barratt, the chief executive officer of Barratt's Bulletin, a commodity-markets newsletter in Sydney. "The focus still remains on what the Fed and ECB will do."
The API collects stockpile information on a voluntary basis from operators of refineries, bulk terminals and pipelines. The government requires that reports be filed with the Energy Department for its weekly survey.

Find Fitness Bliss with NIA
NIA, a blend of yoga, martial arts, and dance, is one of the latest trends in mind-body fitness fusion.
By Charlene Laino
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
Tired of walking the walk to nowhere on the treadmill? Burned out on the repetitive pounding of aerobics? If the term "joyful workout" sounds like an oxymoron to you, it might be time to give NIA a try. NIA (pronounced NEE-ah) stands for neuromuscular integrative action, and it's one of the latest trends in mind-body fitness fusion. A unique blending of the fluidity and focus of Tai Chi and yoga, the grace and spontaneity of modern dance, and the energy and explosiveness of martial arts, NIA boosts both physical and emotional well-being, say enthusiasts around the country.
Best of all, NIA is just plain fun, says Sandy Bramlett, MED, a NIA instructor and director of Bodywise Studio in Atlanta. "It's pleasurable, healthy and never boring. I'm 56 and feel like I can do it for the rest of my life."
While it's just catching on nationwide, the workout actually dates back to 1983 -- the height of the aerobics boom, NIA co-founder Debbie Rosas tells WebMD. Although the Santa Rosa, Calif., studio she was running at the time was doing very well, she and NIA co-founder Carlos Rosas decided her classes needed a jumpstart.

RIVERSIDE, Iowa - Riverside has been "punk'd" by William Shatner, aka "Star Trek" Capt. James T. Kirk, and Spike TV.
Riverside considers itself the "future birthplace" of Capt. Kirk, commander of the starship USS Enterprise in the '60s "Star Trek" series. The town holds an annual TrekFest, which includes a parade with people dressed as "Star Trek" characters and public showings of the "Star Trek" episodes.
Shatner had been shooting scenes in Riverside for what he said was a low-budget, sci-fi movie titled, "Invasion Iowa."
On Tuesday night, he invited residents to view scenes that he'd been directing in and around town for a week.
Shatner thanked about 800 people who turned out for the gathering and then revealed the filming had been for a new reality show on Spike TV about a small town playing host to a Hollywood film shoot. The show is set to debut next year.
To soften the blow, Shatner announced that he and his co-producers were donating $100,000 to the city to be used for community projects. The cast and crew also passed the hat and collected $12,000 for the Riverside Elementary School Book Fund.
TORONTO - One of the bigger role models from the "I don't care" era has done a complete 180-degree turn.
Using their famous three-chord melodies, the spiky-haired trio Green Day have been lambasting President George W. Bush.
"It was a little hipper to be apathetic (back then)," says singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong. "Right now, it's more about facing danger. That's what growing up is all about."
However, their new album, "American Idiot," isn't all about politics. It was written with a narrative, making it a "punk opera" of sorts. The central character is a rebellious teen named Jesus of Suburbia.
"It's about a kid that is trying to find his beliefs and his ethics, coming from a broken home, being fed up with his hometown and his local 7-11," said Armstrong, who still circles his eyes with black eyeliner.
LOS ANGELES - Fox Broadcasting Co. has ordered a pilot for a variety show starring the Barenaked Ladies that will feature the playful rock group performing music and comedy skits along with guest actors.
The Canadian band, known for writing upbeat songs with quirky lyrics and engaging their audiences with onstage banter, will ad-lib on the show, tentatively titled, "The Barenaked Ladies Variety Show."
All of the band members - Steven Page, Jim Creeggan, Ed Robertson, Kevin Hearn and Tyler Stewart - will perform.
NEW YORK - Mel Brooks will shoot the film version of his hit Broadway musical "The Producers" at a new movie studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Brooks, a Brooklyn native, said new financial incentives and his love of New York helped persuade him to shoot at the recently opened Steiner Studios.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki credited new state and local tax credit programs with attracting Brooks' film to New York.
Brooks had another reason.
"The bagels, just the bagels alone," he said. "You go to Toronto, they're mushy."
"The Producers: The Movie Musical" will star Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell. The $45 million production will begin shooting in late February, Brooks said Tuesday at a news conference at Steiner Studios.
NEW YORK - The Metropolitan Opera has named Margaret Juntwait as the new announcer for the opera's Saturday afternoon radio broadcast series.
Juntwait succeeds Peter Allen, who retired in May after 29 years of broadcasting the program. She is the third regular announcer for the broadcast series, which dates back to 1931, and the first woman to take the position. Her appointment was announced Tuesday by the opera's general manager, Joseph Volpe.
"I am honored and thrilled to become the announcer for what is probably the most revered live classical radio show in the world," Juntwait said.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- It was a warm June evening in Toronto almost two years ago on the eve of the NHL awards, and Jonathan Toews was musing about what a blast his first NHL season had been.
We remember suggesting to the young Chicago Blackhawks star that his stellar rookie season had no doubt put him on the radar for the 2010 Canadian Olympic team. His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Do you really think so?" Toews then asked.
Toews is midway through his third NHL season, and it was a shock to no one that he made the team. The 21-year-old Hawks captain smiled Thursday on the eve of Team Canada's semifinal game against Slovakia when reminded of that conversation.
"I guess looking back it's more believable now," said Toews, tied for the Olympic scoring lead with seven points. "You never expect anything great like this. You look at some of the players who have had great careers and won Stanley Cups and been at the Olympics before, names that I'm sure you guys can think of that were left off this roster. You just can't expect something like this. It's an amazing opportunity for any individual in that locker room to be here. We're doing our best to take advantage and really enjoy the moment."
Toews has raised his game as the stakes have risen in this tournament, turning in a monster performance Wednesday night in the 7-3 rout over powerhouse Russia in the quarterfinals. His centered a line between Rick Nash and Mike Richards that was charged with shutting down Alex Ovechkin's top line with Evgeni Malkin and Alexander Semin.
By the start of the third period, all three Russian players were on different lines; that's about all you need to know about what a masterful job Toews' line did. In the biggest game of his burgeoning career, Toews looked like a 20-year NHL veteran; his poise with the puck and the clarity of his decision-making betrayed his age and the immense pressure he was under to deliver. Canada coach Mike Babcock knows what he's got with Toews.
"I play against him all the time," said Babcock, who also coaches the NHL's Red Wings. "He's the No. 1 center on the best team in the National Hockey League. I don't know how surprised we should be. He's going to be a good player for a long, long time. He's not a blazing-speed guy or toe-dragging you, he's just got great hockey sense. He's got a heavy bottom half [strong on his skates]. He's really strong and he's played well."
Carolina Hurricanes captain Eric Staal didn't know much about Toews before this tournament. He'll leave here with quite an impression of the Hawks star.
"He's a great two-way player," said Staal. "We don't play them a lot. I think for me, you appreciate him a little more as the tournament goes on. He brings a lot to the table at both ends of the rink. He's been great in the faceoff circle."
What's striking, as you hear Toews speak, is just how calm and serene he is about this whole business. Just another day at the office, it seems, only with an entire country demanding gold and nothing else.
"It's huge, there's a lot of pressure and there are a lot of eyes watching," said Toews. "It's a tremendous opportunity for any player to be in a situation like this. You've got to ask yourself: 'How many more chances are you going to get like this?' You've got to take advantage of it and really play your best and enjoy it as much as you can. That's what I'm trying to do."
He reminds you of a Hall of Fame center who also used to have that quiet confidence, never one to get too frazzled by anything: Steve Yzerman. And it just so happens the Team Canada executive director has taken the time throughout this tournament to reassure his players with small little chats that seem to have had a huge impact.
"I talk to him every day," said Toews. "He has always had some great advice for us. He's such a calm guy all the time, too. It kind of becomes contagious. He's said to enjoy the moment and don't worry about everything that's being said. Just go out and play, and that's what we've done.
"You know that every word coming out of his mouth is so credible. He's got so much experience, winning at every level. Everything he has to say, you listen. It sinks in pretty quick."
Sounds so simple. At least that's how Toews is making it look right now.

SACRAMENTO, CA - After 16 years, Sacramento County sheriff's deputies have a suspect in the 1996 sexual assault and murder of a 13-year-old Jessica Sanchez.
Terry Glen Short, 41, was located in custody of Nevada authorities after his DNA matched a DNA profile created through evidence gathered during the investigation, Deputy Jason Ramos said.
"Obviously, 16 years ago, over that amount of time, greater sophistication with DNA analysis has taken place," Ramos said. "And obviously, we're happy to see a resolution of this case after all these years."
Neighbors in the area were relieved for the family of the slain teen.
"I am grateful that they found somebody," neighbor Linda Coleman said. "I pray that they can have some type of closure and justice is done for them."
The body of Jessica Sanchez was found in Florin Creek Park along Persimmon Avenue, in south Sacramento in February 1996. Ramos said the teen was sexually assaulted and shot in the upper body.
Near the end of 2011, homicide detectives got information that Short's DNA matched evidence from the cold case. They were ultimately able to get an arrest warrant for Short.
Short is in jail on an unrelated charged. He is expected to be extradited to Sacramento County to be formally charged with one of homicide.

Between the sandy banks of the Mokelumne River and a quiet paved way lined with blossoming oleander bushes, there is a French country home that is more of a fairytale chateau than Acampo norm. The narrow, deceptive driveway leads to a wide-open lawn, bright green and meticulously manicured. A gallery resembling a small cottage sits at the edge of Lodi winegrapes, surrounded by clipped hedges and purple and green trees.
Inside the main house, a three-tier fountain echoes gently through the window-lined room. The walls are dark wood, and in some places, carved or enhanced with wrought iron or orange brick. Shelves and decorative columns display handcarved statues made of bronze and terra cotta.

When Pulaski manager Chris Prieto moved his top two power hitters to the bench for Game 2 of the Appalachian League semifinals, he felt confident the rest of his lineup would fill the void.
True to form, No. 9 hitter Gabrial Franca ripped a pair of key doubles and the bottom half of the batting order sparked a five-run fourth inning that propelled the Mariners to a 6-4 victory over Bluefield.
The win gave the Mariners' Rookie-level affiliate a two-game sweep of the Blue Jays and its first appearance in the Championship Series since 2008. The trip comes in the team's first season under Prieto, who sat Wilton Martinez (12 homers) and Kristian Brito (10) to give other players some playing time.
"Winning is a part of development, teaching them the winning attitude," Prieto said. "Watching them go out there and fight every pitch, that's special to me. That's what I love to see. You can see the energy that comes from the team."
Bluefield got a two-run single from Franklin Barreto and scored three times in the top of the fourth to take a 4-1 lead that proved to be short-lived.
The Mariners responded with five runs in the bottom of the inning, with Franca playing a leading role in the rally. The 19-year-old second baseman plated the tying run with a double to left, then scored the go-ahead run on Aaron Barbosa's triple.
Five of Pulaski's six runs were charged to Bluefield starter Alberto Tirado (0-1), Toronto's 14th-ranked prospect.
"It was just great for us that, when we went down, to see us virtually do what we've been doing all year, fighting back," Prieto said. "We weren't worrying about the score. We were winning every pitch and staying in the game through nine innings. It was nice to respond the way we did."
Mariners starter Eddie Campbell (1-0) picked up the win after striking out nine over five innings. The 21-year-old southpaw allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits with two walks, a week after a 12-strikeout performance against Kingsport.
Carlos Misell pitched the ninth for Pulaski, working around a hit batter by striking out three, to pick up his first postseason save. In four Appy League outings, the 21-year-old Venezuelan has fanned 13 over 5 2/3 scoreless innings.
In other Appy League action:
Kingsport 3, Greeneville 1
Following Saturday night's rainout, Kingsport took the opener of the other semifinal behind five strong innings from Chris Flexen (1-0). The 19-year-old right-hander limited the Astros to five hits and three walks while striking out three. Persio Reyes picked up the save after yielding a run on two hits over the final four frames.
The Mets scored a pair of runs in the first as Jeyckol De Leon and Joe Tuschak hit RBI singles. Yeixon Ruiz, who doubled and scored in the opening inning, singled home Adrian Abreu in the fourth. Box score »

Chrome Now Validates JSONBy Sam Deering
There is a Chrome Extension called JSON View which validates your JSON and shows the error in a modal. Obviously you can use the awesome online tool JSON Lint to validate and format your JSON but this extension is pretty cool.
Update 18/06/13: Added reference to extension.
Chrome should do this out of the box I reckon.
Then when valid JSON we get this nice little collapse/expand node list.
It's still not super smart though! Dutch?!? lol.

Hello, my name is Fiona and I work as a professional business/life coach. I enjoy helping people reach their potential in business and in life. I often work from home. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures. Having recently moved to Hanwell, I can recommend the area if you're looking for some peace and quiet and being close to nature with the added bonus of still being fairly close to the centre of London. I'm excited to start hosting in our new house.

Former college leader found dead after allegations of embezzlementFebruary 21,2013The former acting president of Southern Vermont College has killed himself after being accused of embezzling $400,000 from the school, police said Thursday.
Vermont State Police said James Beckwith was found dead in his home Wednesday by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Beckwith, the former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the small liberal arts school, was accused of taking the money between October 2012 and January, depositing it into his personal account, and using $260,000 to pay down two mortgages on his South Londonderry home.
The U.S. Attorney's office said Thursday it filed a complaint alleging the home and account are forfeitable as proceeds of mail fraud and as property involved in money laundering.
When questioned about the matter, Beckwith resigned from the college Feb. 3.MORE IN This Just In

In this video, you'll see how to make unusual burritos with cooked, mashed sweet potatoes. Combine with onion, garlic, beans, and spices, and then enjoy these meatless delicacies. Watch the video, then get the recipe for Karena's Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos.
I think it'll be just fine without rice and of course you could add anything to it if you wanted. I'm going to try it tonie. Thank You!
While I appreciate all reviewers comments, even the ones who completely change the actual recipe, I don't think it is fair to rate a recipe, unless you made it exactly as the recipe-poster wrote it.
our family did not care for these at all

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) North Carolina health officials say there are now 11 confirmed cases of swine flu in North Carolina.
The state said Monday that lab tests have now found seven cases in Craven County, where five cases were confirmed last week. Neighboring Carteret County also has two cases, part of a cluster that began in a group of people that worked together. Onslow County also has two cases.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services said there are no other probable cases that officials are investigating.

I get "Folder Gallery Error: Unable to find the directory 'http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz" for my path "[foldergallery folder="http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz/" title="Gallery title"]"
What am I doing wrong?
I get "Folder Gallery Error: Unable to find the directory 'http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz" for my path "[foldergallery folder="http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz/" title="Gallery title"]"
What am I doing wrong?
You must use a local path, e.g.,
[foldergallery folder="/wp-content/uploads/xyz/" title="Gallery title"]
I continued to try a few more things to the path. The gallery shows-up when the photo folder is right in the root of WordPress. From what I see of your demo page, I should be able to have a deeper path but ...
What kind of failure did you get? Missing images, error message? Could you send me an URL? Also, be sure to check the directory permissions.
Well, I had the plugin working by putting the photo folders at the root of WordPress. But after a few clicks on the thumbnails, instead of a lightbox, I now get the selected photo as a page (and have to use Alt+Backspace to return to the gallery page). I do have another, much simpler lightbox running that works fine, and disabling it doesn't change anything.
My URL is http://bethisraelsc.org/photos/
Your page loads 2 different versions of JQuery. One (1.8.3) from WordPress itself, and one (1.7.2) from Google. I assume another plugin load it, maybe 'lightbox-panel' or something like that. Could you try to disable it, so I can check you site again?
I deactivated "Simple Light Box" and "Google Analyticator".
I'm convinced it's the host. It was kind of you to give me your time.
I don't think it's the host but I cannot find where the problem is.
Could you try to update folder gallery plugin to 0.95 ?
I updated when you issued it. So, if it's not the host, how can I assist you in determining my problem? I will tell you that it's running just fine one my working server (on my desk).
Your page loads 3 different versions of JQuery. That's where the problem is.
- One JQuery is loaded by your theme :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/themes/CBI/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js">
You can modify you source theme or at least remove (rename is enough) the file '/wp-content/themes/CBI/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js'
- The second is loaded in the footer of your page :
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
Not sure if it's hardcode in your theme or if it comes from a plugin. It seems to be related to a lightbox-panel (but not to simple lightbox plugin). You must disabled the script too (but I don't know how !)
- The third is WP version (1.8.3) and it's OK!
I was able to run your page locally. With the 3 JQuery, folder-gallery doesn't work. If I remove the first 2 (directly from the page source), it works !
You're right, it was another plugin. I deleted every plugin I suspected of using JQuery, and Folder Gallery works, again. I'm going to upload and reactivate each of the deleted plugins to determine which it was. I'm very, very grateful to you for your trouble.
Do you have the energy to talk about the folder path-ing problem? I can leave it as it is but I'm an 'organization neurotic'.
Great! Let's talk about path... I've seen you put your photos at the root of the website.
You should try to put your gallery inside the wp-content directory. For instance, if you upload a picture directory at
{root} /wp-content/galleries/my-photo-gallery
you have to use the shortcode
[foldergallery folder="/wp-content/galleries/my-photo-gallery" title="My Photo Gallery"]
Tell me how it works.
My first support message to you (at the top of this page) says, "I get `Folder Gallery Error: Unable to find the directory 'http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz"
for my path
"[foldergallery folder="http://bethisraelsc.org/wp-content/uploads/xyz/" title="Gallery title"]"
I just tried it, again, with the same error message.
As I told you before, you must use a local path :
[foldergallery folder="/wp-content/uploads/xyz/" title="Gallery title"]
If it's still not working, send me the page URL (with the non working gallery) and I will try to figure what's happen.
I misspoke. I followed your example when you first told me but the 'can't find that folder' error still came up. I've created a non-public page with an example of a gallery error. You can find it at
Not sure. What's happen if you remove the first / in
[foldergallery folder="wp-content/uploads/Various/" title="Various"]?
Something odd happens. When you look at the bottom group of ten images (from the Various folder in the root) and compare it with the folder under Uploads, there are only the two last images. Beats me.
My mistake ! The folder path MUST be "wp-content/...." NOT "/wp-content/....".
Your last try works! Your folder
wp-content/uploads/Various/contains only 2 images, the one you can see under "Not working in /uploads".
Ugh! Yes. You're right, again. Well, I guess this closes my case. You've been kind and patient.

The Virginia Gildersleeve International Fund is a vision builder, a voice for grassroots women who would have otherwise remained silent.
Someone once said that when a woman is given the tools she needs to succeed, she creates a ripple effect of positive change for herself, her family and society. Growing up with a physical disability; it has always been my desire to help less fortunate women and girls and VGIF made that dream come true. With their support, 200 women and girls with and without disabilities have been economically empowered through skills acquisition training in my community and we are still counting.
VGIF has greatly built our capacity as an organization and helped us establish credibility within and outside our community.
Thank you for giving these women the opportunity to be not just great caregivers but change makers, together "empowering women one community at a time"!

I have had the pleasure of getting to know VGIF through our supported project of gender equality and women empowerment. I have come to appreciate that VGIF is the best women fund in the world, They are always in contact with their grantees to know how the projects are moving,They always offer suportive advise when called upon, and above all they understand the different problems their memebrs are going through and always find a way to solve them.
Their love for women is just wonderful, you can always count on VGIF and its team when you need anyhelp.
We are really grateful of the work being done.
I believe that VGIF has always made this quotation true "No one is too rich ,not to receive anything and no one is too poor,not to give out something."

VGIF is supporting projects which improve women's condition and help women's organizations to solve problems which are crucial for their society.
Women's Center ( www.womancenter.org.ge) is one of such organizations which VGIF funded for implementation of projects on GBV in Georgia. It gave us possibility to protect women's rights and health through raising awareness on GBV among university students , creating network, preparing community educators, training health care professionals on yearly reveal cases, implementing screening of pregnant women on domestic violence, which contribute in the rehabilitation of national health system
It was our please to work with this organization. They have highly qualified staff who in reality understand problem which is specific to each country. Unfortunately VGIF can give small grants which are not enough for implementation of projects independently and always we are looking for other donor which cover salaries, office expenses and etc.
I kindly ask US philanthropy community to support VGIF in increasing donations as their marvelous work has direct impact on women's organization in the world.

We are grateful to Virginia Gildersleeve International for the financial support extended to PeerLink Initiative Uganda (PELI-U) in implementing Teenage Pregnancy Prevention and Sexual Reproductive Health/HIV/AIDS Education for rural girls' project. Through this project we have sensitized 288 primary school pupils, 316 secondary school students, 40 community leaders and 40 parents. We have trained 16 Peer Helpers and 13 teachers and equipped them with skills to handle sexual reproductive health and teenage pregnancy related challenges. The participating youth are more confident and openly discuss challenges they face, stakeholders acknowledge their role in reducing teenage pregnancy incidences. We have also learnt that teenage pregnancy prevention calls for collective responsibility by all community stakeholders.

U.S. Stratcom Commander Seeks Satellite Industry Help in Solving Data Overflow
[Satellite TODAY Insider 10-24-11] U.S. Air Force Gen. Robert Kehler, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command, warned satellite industry service providers in the government sector that the rising amount of data collected by U.S. satellites and other aerial platforms is starting to exceed the Pentagon's ability to process it.
In a statement issued during an Oct. 19 address at the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) symposium, Kehler said that the solution to the data overflow problem does not exist on the U.S. Department of Defense side. "This problem cannot be corrected by hiring new analysts. It would take thousands of more analysts to process the data, which is just not realistic for the Pentagon."
According to U.S. Strategic Command, the amount of satellite data for a variety of applications received by the U.S. military has increased 1,500 percent since 2006, while Kehler claims the government's ability to process and analyze the data has only increased 30 percent in the same timeframe.
"One possible solution to this issue would be to remove the emphasis on an analyst's geographic location and surveillance platform used," Kehler told symposium attendees. "Currently, analysts are assigned by region and are not available to the Pentagon's other regional commands. Let's bring the information to the analyst, not the analyst to the information."
Kehler also acknowledged that assigning an organization to coordinate image analysis has also been a challenge for the Pentagon and that U.S. Strategic Command's Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance program could provide a potential fix to the issue. "There may be other and better solutions, but my department encourages and welcomes a dialog with satellite operators and service providers on this," he said.
