First of all the service provided has been excellent. The chat option to talk to a member of staff makes things quick and easy. I ordered the mrs leatherface costume. Looks fab in the picture however it does not look like this when you get it. The bag is not as seen in the picture. In fact its a horrible cheap bag that you couldnt put anything in as it would fall out. The costume itself for the money isnt bad but the apron part is very see through. Size wise i think they are very fair and true to size. I have sent the costume back but again the process has been very easy and I would use this company again its just the outfit and the so called bag I had an issue with. I have given 3 starts for the customer service. For the outfit id give a 1.

Hi All
Posting in amongst the noise of a 3.1 release may be a vain hope but... I have been looking about and cannot see a UK language version of WP. I know this really irritates many UK users especially those who know and use UK spelling and grammar and keep being 'corrected' by WP!
Has anyone ever got an answer from WordPress.org about this? Most similar questions seem to go unanswered. It is great that it is available in so many varied languages, but how about being in the mother version of the original English?

Colorado Becomes Eighth State To Approve Drivers' Licenses For The Undocumented
Granting licenses to the undocumented is a public safety issue: Unlicensed drivers are three times more likely to cause a fatal car accident. And since they lack insurance, the cost of accidents can be astronomical.
Hickenlooper said that he hopes the licensing effort will be "a first step" toward documenting the undocumented, as the federal government begins to coalesce around a larger immigration reform effort.
The other states that have approved licenses for undocumented drivers include: Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. Connecticut is expected to be next on the list. Meanwhile, Florida's Governor Rick Scott (R) this week vetoed a licensing bill.

Sounds Like: Heart, Meat Loaf, Evanescence, Queen, Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Label: Desbee Enterprises, LLc
Bio: Desi has a passion for music. He is a keyboard player, composer and has performed live for years. He is focused on his latest work which is 'The Tribulation' a Progressive Rock Operalet. This concept and composition is an audio-vision/soundtrack of possible future events. The music has purpose!
"This ambitious effort's liner notes pretty much say it all in describing The Tribulation as a progressive rock "operalet". Imagine Andrew Lloyd Weber collaborating with Keith Emerson or Annie Haslam indulging a serious Broadway jones and you're in the ballpark. By turns majestic and rockin', The Tribulation is a weirdly satisfying genre-bending fairytale that sounds like an off-Broadway – perhaps way off-Broadway – work-in-progress. The debut release from (one-named) Brooklyn-raised singer-composer Desi, it masterly merges prog-rock, classical music and show tunes. Inspiration seems to draw equally from classic Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Verde, and that groovy Broadway musical Godspell."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A University of California, Davis, researcher who was injured in an explosion at his campus apartment early Thursday has been arrested, police said.
David Snyder, 32, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of possessing an explosive, possessing materials with the intent to make a destructive device and possessing firearms on campus, said UC Davis Police Chief Matt Carmichael.
The 1 a.m. blast caused only minor damage to Snyder's apartment in the university's Russell Park housing complex but forced the evacuation of about 100 people while the materials were removed and officials investigated, police said.
"While we have no information to suggest that Mr. Snyder was plotting some broader crime on the campus, in today's environment the potential safety risk to the community must be taken extremely seriously," Carmichael said.
"We are relieved that the explosion was not worse and that no members of our community other than Snyder were injured," Carmichael said.
Snyder suffered hand injuries after the explosion and went to a local hospital for treatment, with hospital officials later notifying police, The Sacramento Bee reported Sunday.
For nearly 20 hours after the blast, bomb squads from the Yolo, Placer and El Dorado sheriff's departments, Sacramento police and the California Highway Patrol worked on removing chemicals from the apartment.
The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also called in to assist.
Authorities have not revealed what the explosive materials were and have not identified the type of firearms they say they found in Snyder's apartment.
University officials would not release details about the injuries Davis suffered, but they said he was expected to be released from the hospital and booked into jail either Sunday or Monday.
Snyder _ who was working in a temporary position as a junior researcher in a campus chemistry lab _ was placed on investigatory leave while the incident was being investigated, university spokeswoman Claudia Morain said Sunday.
Snyder previously received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from UC Davis in 2004 and a Ph.D. in chemistry in December 2011.
After earning his doctorate, he held a temporary one-year research appointment through UCSF that allowed him to work at UC Davis. That position ended in November. His current temporary job with UC Davis began in December was due to expire Jan. 31, Morain said.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- Tony Stewart grinned as he leaned against his orange No. 20 Chevrolet talking about the events of the night in which he won his second Cup title.
That's when the shower came from above, his crew chief Greg Zipadelli and the boys were jumping up and down, hollering as they bathed their driver in a shower of Coca-Cola. A Coke and a smile.
That's what Stewart had on Sunday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. And that's been Stewart's attitude all year long, which is why this championship means so much more to him than his first title won here in 2002.
"I'm so happy I could get Zippy this championship and do it the right way for him instead of putting them through the hell that I put this team through in 2002," Stewart said. "Just a nice way to get it done tonight."
This year, more than any other, Stewart has shown more remorse for some of the things that happened in his racing past. He's shown more maturity and he's shown more class. Above all, he's shown more gratitude.
"I put this team through a lot of hell the whole time I've been with them," Stewart said. "But they've never given up on me."
Though that was a consideration at one point.
Stewart already had a gruff reputation before 2002, known as a hot-tempered racer who would retaliate on track after altercations or challenge a fellow racer to fisticuffs at the drop of a dime. Then, in that fateful year that he was both put on probation and touted as the sport's finest, Stewart's image began to take a beating.
He charged at an official and then smacked the tape recorder out of a reporter's hand at Daytona. He punched a photographer at Indianapolis. Through the course of the season, he was placed on probation and was then ordered by his team to attend anger management classes. He remembers being miserable.
And his team remembers the misery, too.
J.D. Gibbs, son of team owner Joe Gibbs and president of Joe Gibbs Racing, remembers reaching the breaking point. Everybody had spoken to Stewart, but to no avail. The sponsors had threatened him; NASCAR had threatened him; the team had threatened him.
Nothing was getting through.
But that's when they remembered what meant the most to Tony. A short-track whiz kid who had adapted to, and succeeded at, every type of racing he had tried -- Stewart had built a reputation for respecting and honoring the guys who work with him. It occurred to Gibbs that Stewart's antics betrayed his better intentions, and it was time that Stewart realized it.
The team organized a meeting with the crew and with Stewart. They sat Stewart down at the table, turned to the crew and opened up a forum: How have Tony's actions affected you?
"Those guys didn't hold back," Gibbs said of the crew. "They did a great job of saying, 'This is not going to work and here's why.'
"It comes down to people. And when he saw what it meant to the guys around him, I think that was a big part of it. They let him know that they were there for him and loved him and supported him, but they needed him to work with them as well. That meant a lot to him. He realized that. They are a family. They've been together since '99. You don't have that very often. He cares about those guys and doesn't want to screw it up."
Stewart said that meeting was when his eyes finally opened.
"I didn't know what the outcome was going to be," he said, reflecting on that night as he spoke to the media after clinching that second title. "I didn't know if I was going to have a job anymore."
That's when Stewart began to make changes in his life. He thought twice before speaking. In fact, he thought twice before agreeing to speak when he had a hunch that he was going to be in one of his moods. More dramatic was his change in residence. Stewart uprooted from the Lake Norman area near Charlotte, N.C., where he was recognized and followed constantly, to his hometown and birthplace of Columbus, Ind.
Stewart now lives in the very home in which he was raised. He takes himself in stride and he has dedicated himself to racing for two things: easing the pain he caused his team in the past and reminding himself constantly why he races.
"I can promise you, I want this championship worse than the rest of the drivers do," Stewart said when he showed up to Miami hoping to claim his second crown. "A lot of them have not won a championship yet, so people are going to ask me how come I want it more. The one we won in 2002 kind of had an asterisk with the team. It was just not a clean year. We had a lot of turmoil and trouble amongst ourselves internally. I created a lot of turmoil with things that happened on and off the track."
All season, that became Stewart's driving motivation. He won the team a title, but he overshadowed that glory with controversy. Now, he wanted to give it a title to enjoy.
When the season started, it didn't look good for Stewart. He got out of the gates solidly at the Daytona 500, finishing seventh, and had a sprinkling of strong runs scattered throughout the first 10 events of the year. But three consecutive finishes outside the top 20 dropped him to 14th in the standings and a feeling of helplessness pervaded the team.
"It wasn't one partiular race, it was our whole season from the start," Stewart said. " Once we got away from Daytona, we really were just behind until we got to Michigan."
That was race No. 11 and Stewart and Co. managed to bring a hot rod to the track and make the adjustments necessary to stay up front and secure a second-place finish. That was just a teaser for what was to come. Stewart won five of his next seven races and shot from 10th in the standings to first -- a position he would relinquish for only one week the remainder of the season.
That's where Stewart was sitting entering Sunday's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He held a narrow 52-point lead over Jimmie Johnson, but knew that his obsession with winning this title -- after a season filled with headlines of victories, charity and maturity -- would give him the edge.
"This is one I want to win for Greg Zipadelli more than the rest of the competition can possibly imagine," Stewart said, two days away from making it happen. "It doesn't mean we're going to win it, but if they're going to win it they're going to have to take it from me."
That determination has always been a Stewart trademark. But the focus he has with that determination is different, now bent on honoring those who stand beside him and work throughout the week to make him fast on Sunday.
That much was clear to anyone who saw him following Sunday's race. Stewart was gracious with fans and the media, but that mile-wide smile only graced Stewart's face when he was hugging and slapping hands with his team.
Even after entering the media center for the ritual champion's press conference, Stewart was thinking about his team.
"Let's get this over with as quick as possible so I can go drink beer with my team," he said, laughing. "That's what I want to do more than anything right now."
And the feeling was mutual. The looks on his teammates' faces said it all. Stewart had dedicated this year to clinching his team the hassle-free championship he robbed it of in '02, and watching him accomplish that left many speechless.
"I couldn't be any prouder of Tony," Zipadelli said. "That's probably the biggest thing -- this kid's been through the ups and downs but he's matured and we won this championship because of him. Because of his attitude. Because of his winning ways, his efforts. He can win in any car out there and we're just proud to be a part of it."
Stewart, sitting and talking in his Coke-drenched driver's uniform, was visibly touched by his team's gratitude. But he was equally unwilling to bogart the credit.
"We were a stronger team this year than we were my entire time at Joe Gibbs Racing," Stewart said.
And there's no secret why. It's because of the kid who has won in just about every type of car he's raced. It's because of the guy whom Mark Martin calls the greatest race car driver of this era. It's because of the guy whom Jeff Gordon says is officially among the elite now that he's got multiple championships.
"This year, he has really become a leader on that team," Gibbs said. "He and Zippy have been together so long and know each other so well. But this year, [Stewart has] stepped up. He's more of a leader with the guys. He encourages the guys. Obviously, this is a very humbling sport. Last year at this time, we were really distraught. We weren't running well. We were struggling and had some in-house issues.
"It's a blessing to see how those guys have worked together and turned it around this year. At the beginning, it wasn't very good either. But for Tony to step up and be a part of that leadership meant a lot to me and to everyone at JGR."
Stewart soaked in the celebration of a championship done right -- awarded for a year in which he finally figured out how to chill out and continue to win.
A Coke and a smile -- true happiness at last.

U.S. to Use Drones on Entire U.S.-Mexico Border, Official Says
The U.S. will begin patrolling the entire U.S.-Mexico border with unmanned aircraft this week, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.
A Predator drone, made by closely held General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. of San Diego, will be deployed to Corpus Christi, Texas, on Sept. 1, she told reporters on a conference call today.
The plane will join two other drones in covering the border from El Centro, California, to the Gulf of Mexico.
"This is yet another critical step we've taken in ensuring the safety of the border," Napolitano said.
Republicans are calling on the administration to do more to stop illegal immigration. President Barack Obama on Aug. 13 signed legislation providing $600 million for border enforcement.
The measure included funding for two additional drones. Customs and Border Protection also has money for a third new drone, according to the Homeland Security department.
On the call, Napolitano said the administration has focused the country's border strategy on criminals who have entered the U.S. illegally. Currently, half of deported illegal immigrants were convicted of a crime, she said. That compares with 34 percent of those deported in June 2009.
Republican lawmakers have said Obama should put more agents and equipment at the border to catch those crossing illegally and beef up efforts to crack down on employers who hire undocumented workers.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (January 28, 2013)--Rapper Rick Ross crashed his Rolls Royce into a building early Monday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., after hearing shots that were fired nearby.
Fort Lauderdale police say Ross and his companion, fashion designer Shateria L. Moragne-el, reported they heard multiple shots fired in their direction at around 5:00 a.m. Monday.
Ross lost control of the silver Rolls, which crashed into an apartment building, police said.
Neither Ross nor his passenger was injured and police say it did not appear that any bullets struck the Rolls.
The police report used Ross's real name, William L. Roberts.
Ross turned 37 Monday.
Authorities say unknown suspects fled before police arrived.
TV news footage showed a bullet hole in the window of a nearby restaurant.

Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Here are the Cubs minor league rosters at Fitch Park as they were this morning (3/31).
OF Sam Fuld, 1B Micah Hoffpauir, and catcher Chris Robinson were sent down yesterday, but have not yet reported to Fitch Park.
As I've mentioned before, when the Cubs send players to Fitch Park (Minor League Camp) from HoHoKam Park, there are corresponding roster moves made at Fitch Park, as players are either moved downward (Iowa to Daytona, Tennessee to Daytona, et al) or released. (15 players were released last Sunday, although one was later re-signed).
At present, Iowa has 31 players (must get down to 24 by Opening Day), Tennessee has 31 players (must get down to 24 by Opening Day), Daytona has 27 players (must get down to 25 by Opening Day), and Peoria has 31 players (must get down to 25 by Opening Day). The Boise/Mesa squad presently has 39 players on its roster, but that number will actually increase by another 10-12 by this time next week.
The Boise/Mesa group is also the Cubs "Extended Spring Training" (EXST) squad that plays at Fitch Park April-May-June, before the Boise and AZL Cubs (Mesa) teams are formed in mid-June after the Rule 4 Draft. The EXST Cubs usually carry about 50 players, including players who were unable to make the Peoria Opening Day roster, and minor league players (mostly pitchers) who are rehabbing from injuries.
The Iowa and Tennessee clubs will usually carry 12 pitchers and 12 position players, and the Daytona and Peoria clubs will usually carry 13 pitchers and 12 position players. Each full-season affiliate also usually carries one "player-coach" (usually a catcher or a utility infielder) signed to a Minor League Uniform Player Contract who can be temporarily activated if a position player is placed on the minor league 7-day DL. The player-coach is moved back & forth to the roster as needed, sometimes for an extended period of time.

Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Any idea what the reasoning is behind limiting the 2A and 3A teams to 24 players instead of 25? I think it'd be advantageous to allow expanded rosters in the minors.
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Who were the released players and who was resigned?
thanks, Phil
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Phil -- thank you for all the updates. With your insight, I wonder if any of the releases surprised you. I was surprised they released Encarnacion (he is only 20 and did ok at AZ Cubs) and Dwayne Kemp (seems injuries hurt his development) and extremely surprised they released Robert Hernandez (who before the PEDs I thought was one of our top 5 pitching prospects) and Sean Williams (who is only 19 and could easily be sent back to Australian academy, couldn't he?).
Any insight you have would be great. Thank you again for all the updates.
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Thanks again for the update. I asked you some questions about the player/coach in a post about two weeks ago and I really appreciated your answer. Thanks, things make more sense now with your explanation (like why the Cubs would carry a 25 year old catcher in single A).
Keep up the great work! I always look forward to your posts!

Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Asked this in the previous thread, but this is a better place for it: Do you know why Josh Lansford was released (as reported in the previous thread)? Have you seen him on the mound at all? He just recently converted, didn't he?
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Thanks, Phil!
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Really hate to see Smith and Vitters stifled so we can get more playing time for Bobby Scales et al in Iowa.
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Any news on the Cuban signee Jose Yasser Serrano? Thanks Phil.
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Neither Burke nor Jackson listed in OF's @ Tennessee? Vitters @ Daytona too? Thought/hoped all 3 would be @ AA this year en route to Des Moines...
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
Burke and Jackson would have to skip a level to go to Tennessee. Jackson was just drafted last June.
Flaherty looks like he may be skipping Daytona, but he's older than the three you mentioned--by three years (Vitters), two years (Jackson) and a year and three quarters (Burke).
For some of these guys, DesMoines will not be on the road to Chicago. Consider moving to Knoxville, Mike, where the action will be the next few years. Chicago's closer, though, if you want to see Tyler Colvin.
I can hop on I-81 and get to Knoxville in about eight hours, or I have Felix Pie just up the road in Baltimore.
Re: Updated Minor League Camp Rosters
been known to happen, especially for 1st round picks from major college programs...as for felix the cat, i've seen enough of him...

Apparently the Yankees had the choice of either Gleyber Torres or Eloy Jimenez in the Chapman deal, and they chose Torres.
Chapman shouldn't be reserved anymore on 40 man.
Interesting split on Heyward according to ESPN. As a CF, his slash line .292/.363/.375/.738. At RF: .212/.204/.300/.604. 21/72 as a CF, 58/273 as a RF.
He's also been better when batting 2nd, but he had a nice start in the 6 hole, but has slumped ever since. He was heating up before the All Star break, but is only hitting .108 in the 2nd half.
When we played the Reds with Chapman, I always thought of it as an eight-inning game. So now other teams have eight innings to try to get a lead against the Cubs. Should be a challenge, assuming three or four Cubs ever start hitting again.
I don't really try to get to know and like these players personally. I'm rooting for laundry, for the most part. Exceptions might be when a player makes trouble in the clubhouse or in the dugout. (Zambrano and Bradley come to mind. Also Papelbon.) But I don't think Chapman is one of those jerks.
Unfortunately, a pretty good summary. It looks like next year Heyward will be getting yet another batting stance adjustment.
The recent good news has been Baez. I'm afraid about the next league adjustment on him, though, which is probably right around the corner.
Bryant I don't worry about too much. Just not seeing the ball well right now. He'll turn it around. Russell's been good with men in scoring position all year and he's 22ish. He'll be fine but next year is likely to be his breakout year.
If Travis' back-to-back-to-back walks cost Hendricks the ERA title, that would really suck.
Edit: "A lifeless loss to a lousy Sox team."
This place is a real downer after a loss to the Sox.
I expect they will go 5-9 games above .500 the rest of the year. 96-98 wins will win the Division.
They should have one more 2-3 week hot streak in them.
However, several players are just "average" for the last month: Zobrist, Ross, Russell, Ceasar. Montero is terrible, plus he cannot throw anyone out. -WAR. Heyward is abysmal at the plate, but a plus in the OF. Still with RISP he has been terrible. KB has not been driving in runs as of late. But Apparently the team is still above average with RISP according to S Sahadev.
I came to that realization tonight. I kept expecting them to play better, but now I realize they aren't going to. They are a .500 team now.
- They have one reliable starting pitcher. Jake's magic is gone, and it doesn't look like it's coming back. Lester has been lousy recently. Lackey's ERA goes up every time he pitches.
- Heyward has been dead weight all year. I can't remember a single series where he was a significant offensive contributor. Not one. Great defense, but but if he were hitting .270 with 10 HR and played average defense, the Cubs would be better off.
new rule...no one's allowed to throw k.bryant a changeup
Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.

To characterize the partitioning of metals in a stream ecosystem, concentrations of trace metals including As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were measured in water, colloids, sediment, biofilm (also referred to as aufwuchs), macroinvertebrates, and fish collected from the Boulder River watershed, Montana. Median concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn in water throughout the watershed exceeded the U.S. EPA acute and chronic criteria for protection of aquatic life. Concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn in sediment were sufficient in the tributaries to cause invertebrate toxicity. The concentrations of As, Cu, Cd, Pb, and Zn in invertebrates from lower Cataract Creek (63, 339, 59, 34, and 2,410 μg/g dry wt, respectively) were greater than the concentrations in invertebrates from the Clark Fork River watershed, Montana (19, 174, 2.3, 15, and 648 μg/g, respectively), that were associated with reduced survival, growth, and health of cutthroat trout fed diets composed of those invertebrates. Colloids and biofilm seem to play a critical role in the pathway of metals into the food chain and concentrations of As, Cu, Pb, and Zn in these two components are significantly correlated. We suggest that transfer of metals associated with Fe colloids to biological components of biofilm is an important pathway where metals associated with abiotic components are first available to biotic components. The significant correlations suggest that Cd, Cu, and Zn may move independently to biota (biofilm, invertebrates, or fish tissues) from water and sediment. The possibility exists that Cd, Cu, and Zn concentrations increase in fish tissues as a result of direct contact with water and sediment and indirect exposure through the food chain. However, uptake through the food chain to fish may be more important for As. Although As concentrations in colloids and biofilm were significantly correlated with As water concentrations, As concentrations in fish tissues were not correlated with water. The pathway for Pb into biological components seems to begin with sediment because concentrations of Pb in water were not significantly correlated with any other component and because concentrations of Pb in the water were often below detection limits.

Someone In Central China Really Stinks At Photoshop
Local Chinese government propagandists have outdone themselves in what seems to be the increasingly competitive category of bad Photoshop.
This week's entry hails from Ningguo County in central China's Anhui province. The workmanship is so bad, it seems almost, well, effortless.
The photo, which was posted to the county's civil affairs website, purports to portray government officials visiting a 100-year-old woman. But the officials appear to be about 20 feet tall compared with the diminutive lady, and one of the officials has no legs.
Reviews on China's Internet, which often serves as a Greek chorus of ridicule these days, were predictably mocking. (Officials have since taken down the photo, apologized and issued an explanation.)
Last year, a photo purportedly showing officials from a district in the city of Hangzhou inspecting a park drew similar attention. The Photoshop job was so bad, the men appeared to levitate above a road and lawn.
One Chinese netizen, as Internet users are called here, summed it up succinctly: "The engineer who merged the picture is not skilled at Photoshop at all."
The Chinese have surpassed their North Korean allies, who are old pros at the art of bad Photoshopping.

Good evening, everyone.
Almost missed the thread ... it wasn't in the sidebar. Found it in the listings.
While in Chile for a Bible conference, I was resting at the hotel when a rugby match came on the television. Though I dont fully understand rugby, I enjoy it and admire the courage it takes to play such a dangerous sport.
During the match, one of the French players was injured and had to be taken to the sidelines. As the trainers attended to him, the camera showed a closeup of his shoes. With a black marker the player had written the words: Habakkuk 3:19 and Jesus is the way. Those expressions of faith and hope were a strong testimony of that young athletes priorities and values.
The verse cited on that rugby players shoes is not just one of heavenly hope and persevering faith. It is one of practical valueespecially to an athlete dependent on speed for success. It says, The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deers feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills.
In all of life, we need the strength and supply of our God. He alone can give us feet that are swift and strong. He alone can equip us for all of the uncertainties of life, for He alone is our strength. With Paul, we can be assured: My God shall supply all your need (Phil. 4:19).

Oh, yeah, this thread has been Bookmarked.

On the Jason Wu woman:
"I never have one girl in mind. I'm not interested in designing for just one woman and it shows through my clientele. I can dress a 19-year-old and a 50-year-old. The thing they all have in common is they all feel like they are putting on something with substance. I want to draw out what they have in common. It's about quality, classic but modern. Diane Kruger is a muse. We have fun together working out looks. Women should have fun with fashion."

Cooper Poole Ltd are looking to move and grow into the Liverpool area. As specialists in air con and heating appliances, they should do very well there. In Cheshire they are the number 1 firm, and I myself have used their services before to get my home fitted with a new air conditioning system – it really helps my son's asthma. I asked Steve of Cooper Poole to write the benefits of air con in an office environment!
According to recent research, a lot of people spend about 90% of their time indoors. Most of this time is spent at work. If the air quality in the office is not good, workers are at risk of developing various medical conditions. Besides, if there isn't enough oxygen in the air, people are going to feel drained and exhausted.
One of the main benefits of air conditioning in the office is the proper oxygen intake that secures the good functioning of the brain. When your brain is alert and properly nourished, you can perform better at various tasks, so your work is going to be better and you are going to be less tired by the end of the day.
The human body needs a stable temperature in order to be able to function at its best. If you think about those hot summer days when the indoor temperature is extremely high, you surely remember how difficult it is to focus on anything for longer than a few minutes. This makes work almost impossible. Additionally, people are going to make more mistakes that could cost you a lot more than installing a good air conditioning system to provide them a comfortable temperature.
Air conditioning systems are able to filter the indoor air, thus being effective in the prevention of air pollution. Besides, they are also designed to maintain the proper level of humidity, thus creating a healthy environment which enables workers to maintain their focus and complete their tasks in a more efficient manner. Productivity is very important, as it allows you to have more work done without having to hire more people. This translates into indirect savings, so it's easy to see how creating a good working climate in your office can bring you more profits.

By taking care of the indoor air quality, you contribute to offering your employees a healthy work environment. This can help reducing the number of paid medical leave days. This means your teams are going to be more efficient and more productive, thus generating more profit for your business. Besides, the wellness and the comfort of your employees have a direct influence on the quality of their work. If you want them to perform at their best, you have to make sure they have all the comfort needed to focus solely on their specific work tasks and not on their body.
By creating the best working conditions, you are going to have happier and more productive employees, who are going to be more focused and more efficient in fulfilling their work tasks. They are going to take less medical leave days, thus decreasing your health care costs. If you calculate how much money you can save by investing in a good air conditioning system, you are going to see the benefits of creating a healthy indoor environment for your employees. Besides, you are going to breathe the same air, so you wouldn't like to inhale all those pollutants or to suffer from scorching heat, would you?

I'm using the Twenty-Eleven theme for my website: http://WorkingMatterVA.com
As you can see I'm using a rotating image (and want to keep that), however, when I look at the site using a mobile device (twenty-eleven is "mobile ready" and I don't mind the wrapping menu), it totally cuts off the top image (if you type my URL into http://www.howtogomo.com/en/d/test-your-site/#gomo-meter/ you will see what I mean). In other words, I think the rotater may be preventing the image from re-sizing for mobile, so it just goes behing the menu except for a strip at the top.
What I'd like to do is set it to use a different "custom mobile" header image on mobile devices but have not figured out the best way to do this. Is there an easy way I can get it to switch or resize for mobile?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I am looking for a bit of advice in where to start with setting up a WP site so that the user can view posts by tag. I want a user to be able to type in their favourite tags e.g. music, cinema, then WordPress will return posts with that category. I know I can run a wp query but how do I involve the user in choosing which tags?
Ideally I want those tag choices stored in a cookie/on their profile so they can return and get a personalised blog made up of their favourite tags, authors etc.
Any advice would be great!

If I have this line of code:
<input type="submit" class="mybutton" name="add" value="Add new"/>
How can I use CSS to style the buttons value? I need to add an image before it's value, therefore I'd need this line of code at the value output:
Add new
I tried things like:
<input type="submit" class="mybutton" name="add" value="">
Add new</input>
haha, but this totally doesn't make any sense.
Anyone a good tip?
Wow thanks for the great fast responses. Forgot to mention that I use a .CSS file of "sexybuttons", so I can't change the styling and need other approach.
<button type="submit">
Is what I was looking for. Thanks alot all.

Release Date:
August 7, 2001
Between 1979 and 1981, 29 African-American children were murdered in Atlanta, GA, leading to a statewide manhunt to find the killer and a considerable outcry from a frightened public. Authorities eventually pinned the child killings on one Wayne Williams, who had been charged with two related murders of adult males. However, several years after Williams had been convicted of the killings of the two men and the case on the child murders had been closed, a pair of investigative reporters began looking into the matter, and discovered clear evidence that the investigation of the Atlanta child killings had been grossly mismanaged, and that in all likelihood Williams had nothing to do with the crimes. Who Killed Atlanta's Children? is a made-for-cable dramatization of the investigation by Pat Laughlin (James Belushi) and Ron Larson (Gregory Hines) as they attempt to find out how Williams (Cle Bennett) came to be railroaded for the child slayings and who the real killer might be. Produced for the @Showtime premium cable network, Who Killed Atlanta's Children? also stars Bill Duke, Lynda Gravatt, and Sean McCann. Rudy Langlais, who as editor of ~Spin magazine helped to publish Laughlin and Larson's findings, served as producer on this project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

SEOUL, March 20 (Yonhap) -- As North Korea moves to ratchet up tensions on the Korean Peninsula, its leader Kim Jong-un has ordered his military to conduct mobile anti-aircraft rocket and unmanned combat air vehicle exercises, a state media outlet reported Wednesday.
The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said in a report, monitored in Seoul, that Kim issued the order to conduct the drills during an inspection trip to an unspecified military unit.
The report said Kim oversaw part of the exercises that aimed to destroy low-flying cruise missile as well as lauded the accuracy of unmanned attack drones and expressed satisfaction with his military's ability to counter U.S. Tomahawk cruise missiles with surface-to-air rockets.
Kim also checked the capability of the North's attack drones to hit any target in South Korea, it said, adding that the leader made clear he will issue orders to destroy military and government targets in South Korea if provoked, and warned the country could raze U.S. bases all across the Pacific to the ground.
"The planes were assigned the flight route and time with the targets in south Korea in mind, Kim Jong Un said, adding with great satisfaction that they were was proved to be able to mount super precision attack on any enemy targets," the KCNA said in an English dispatch.
"He stressed the need to have at command the coordinates of every enemy target in the operational theater of south Korea and input them in precision drone attack means of the Korean style so that they should make point attack on any target any moment," the report added.
The report comes after the North warned earlier in the day that it will take military action against future deployment of U.S. strategic B-52 bombers over South Korea. The warning came in response to a U.S. announcement a day earlier that a B-52 bomber took part in ongoing joint South Korea-U.S. military exercises.
Analysts in Seoul said the KCNA report may have been aimed to show Pyongyang's ability to counter the B-52 threat. The long-range strategic bombers can carry cruise missiles as well as conventional high explosive bombs.
In the past few weeks, the North's communist regime has unilaterally scrapped the Korean War armistice and said it will no longer respect non-aggression pacts reached with Seoul in the past.

The state has approved a plan to open a charter school for troubled youths at Floyd Bennett Field, but community leaders, politicians, and even the neighboring businesses the school hoped to partner with say they don't want it there.
New York State's Education Department OK'd the controversial Urban Dove School for the sprawling national park last week, clearing the first hurdle toward its construction — and bringing on the inevitable backlash that now includes Aviator Sports, the Floyd Bennett Field tenant that had been silent on the issue.
"[Urban Dove] has absolutely no support from the community, so we will not be able to support the project," Aviator CEO Kevin McCabe told this paper Friday, joining a chorus of elected officials panning the plan.
In their prospectus to the state, school planners said they hoped to use Aviator's popular facilities as part of their sports-centric curriculum.
But with the 'no' vote, the owners of Aviator have become the latest critics of the school, which will cater to 95 over-aged, under-credited youth. Local politicians have slammed the plan since its infancy, claiming a park is no place for a school.
"We don't use our schools as parks and our parks as schools," said Councilman Lew Fidler (D-Marine Park). "Aviator is not available to them."
State Sen. Carl Kruger (D-Mill Basin) agreed.
"[Gateway] was not designed for charter schools," he said. "It was designed as a community and family use facility."
Despite its detractors, Urban Dove organizers say they believe Floyd Bennett Field is the perfect spot for a sports, health, and fitness-oriented alternative high school because the national park has plenty of open space and a selection of abandoned buildings they can turn into a "one-of-a-kind campus environment" that will include classrooms, a cafeteria, office space and recreational areas.
At its core will be a socialization-heavy curriculum where students aren't part of classes, but teams that travel together from lesson to lesson and activity to activity.
Students — most of whom are expected to come from south Brooklyn — will be bussed onto the mostly unused 387-acre former airfield at the foot of Flatbush Avenue and Jamaica Bay, explained Urban Dove Executive Director Jai Nanda.
"We're thrilled that we got the charter and now we continue to look down the road to finalizing our space and opening a great school," Nanda said. "It's always been our goal to open in Floyd Bennett Field and we hope that opportunity will present itself."
If all goes according to plan, the school could open as early as next September, Nanda said.
But any plans for the school are still in its infancy: So far, Urban Dove hasn't sent any formal requests to the National Parks Service to open in Floyd Bennett Field or use one of its buildings — many of which are dilapidated.
"When they make a formal application, we will definitely consider it," said National Parks Service spokesman John Harlan Warren.
Floyd Bennett Field, New York City's first municipal airport, was added to the 26,000 acre Gateway National Recreation Area and made a national park in 1972.
Urban Dove follows the wave of charter schools crashing down on Brooklyn, which is already home to 50 of the state's 140 public-private partnerships.

The running skills of quarterback Aaron Miller keyed a late fourth quarter drive as the Lourdes football team topped Johnson-Brock 26-20 and secured a position in the Class D1 playoffs during action at Pioneer Field Thursday night.
Lourdes and Johnson-Brock traded the lead during action in the first two quarters.
The game went to halftime tied at 14-14.
Miller threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Gilson that had the Knights ahead 20-14 in the fourth quarter.
Johnson-Brock answered by launching a 42-yard drive capped by a 13-yard scoring pass and, after the subsequent kick off, Lourdes took over at its own five-yard line.
Considering the Knights' poor field position and scant time left on the fourth quarter clock, it looked like the game might be headed to overtime. Lourdes further complicated its march by committing penalties early in the drive, but the Knights would not be denied.
Miller had several productive rushes and complemented those with an 11-yard pass to Clancy Young.
It all came down to a fourth down play inside the Johnson-Brock five-yard line with three seconds left to go in the game.
Miller rushed into the end zone on the final play of regulation thus powering the Knights to a 26-20 win and an appearance in the post season.
With the win, the Knights advanced their season mark to 5-3, while Johnson-Brock fell to 2-6.

27 reviews | 4.1 out of 5
I've never had a real nice or good coffee maker. This time I decided to try something a bit nice than I'd normally buy for myself. I made a wise choice. The voice activation for time and auto brew is wonderful. No more having to go through the entire clock to set times! The caraf slides in and out so smoothly. It has the look of a more expensive coffee maker also. The no drip pour spout is very nice! No more 'dribbles'. I am very, vey pleased with this product and recomend it to everyone.
Have been using it for about amonth and no complaints. We really like the voice activation for the time and brew setting (just gotta read the directions). It is sophisticated but very simple to operate - only two buttons. Too bad we didn'y get this for our Xmas present instead of the more expensive brand we did get that only lasted two months. Strongly recommend it.
This coffee machine makes excellent coffee....even makes low-quality coffee taste expensive! Unfortunately, my father broke the decanter and when I tried to order a new one I found out that they are no longer available. So now I either buy the entire machine again or find another coffee maker who hasn't discontinued their decanters.
The reviewer that posted "Don't Be Fooled" needs to listen to the coffee maker and read the instructions. This is voice activated for time of day and autostart time. VERY simple to operate with just two buttons. A simple on/off button and one button you press to set the time of day and autostart tiime. Just press the Auto button and listen to the voice prompts. Speak the time and it set. It's that simple. Makes good coffee and the pot does not drip when pouring. Easy to fill with water and easy access to the drip basket.
We love this coffee pot....practical and nice to look at! Simple also. I would like to say to the person who hadn't used it due to it's water pour in placement...it could be just me but I am unaware of any coffee pots that do not pour in from the top.....All coffee pots we have ever had have sat under a counter and required a lift up to fill, so yes we pull them out to fill....Such a simple task would NEVER force me to not use the machine...it's coffee!! You must not be much of a coffee drinker if that silly little incovienience is enough to shun you away from even using the product.
When I ordered this product I had somehow missed the fact that the clock and timer were voice activated. However, being a tech lover, decided to give it a try. Apparently the "lady in the coffeemaker" did not like me or my husband! We followed the directions to the letter but the unit locked up on us, not even allowing us to make coffee manually. Unplugging, then plugging in again solved the problem. Determined to make it work, I set the unit to come on the next morning at 6 a.m. (Yes, it was set on a.m., not p.m.) Apparently the "lady in the coffeemaker" does not do mornings. No coffee. Tried several more times, same result. Returned unit to store and purchased an old fashioned Mr. Coffee with pushbutton settings. Mr. Coffee apparently likes us and works perfectly!
I was looking for a coffee pot that would make coffee reasonably fast, and this one fills the bill. Not a lot of frills, but it's very easy to program for a start time. And all you have to do is barely push the little button and it is reprogrammed for the next morning. Keeps coffee hot unlike the last coffee pot I had! The only down side for me is the see through marker for filling it is on the wrong side for my sink...but that's MY problem. :) I love the way it looks on my kitchen counter...I would definitely recommend this coffee pot!
I happily picked up my Hamilton Beach Easy Set Coffee Maker today. My old coffee maker konked out a week ago. I read all instructions, cleaned the machine as instructed. Ready to make coffee for tomorrow, the lid would not stay on the pot. The instructions said "do not force lid back in". (it was lose when I took it off)I did not force the lid in any way. Upon close inspection with a flashlight I find that the peg that is supposed to hold the lid in place is gone, there is nothing there but a hole on one side. I decided to go ahead and use the pot anyway because it is a lovely looking coffee maker. I fill up everything, set the clock for "time of day", that works fine, then I try to set the "start up time", well that is when the trouble started. No matter how many times I tried or what I told the computer to do, it always wanted to start my coffee pot at 6:10 P.M. I finally just gave up and will take it back to the store tomorrow. You can not argue with a computer and I do not want my coffee at 6:10 P.M.!!!!!!. I realize I could start it manually but that is not why I purchased this particular maker. So, I will return it and get one that does not talk back to me!! One that I can set myself. Oh, yes, the lid is only mentioned twice in the instruction manual. It does not tell how to take it off or how to put it back on.
It took me over an hour to set the time. Every time you say a time it comes up with it differently. It took me much longer to try to set brew time and even when I got something close to what I wanted it never turned on at that time.
But by just using the red start button it does make good coffee.
Bought this as a gift for my mother, who was delighted with its looks as well as ease of use. She'd wanted a programmable coffeemaker--when this arrived, she said, "Voice-activated? Who ever heard of such a thing?!" She is quite excited at the science-fiction of it all:)
I have had Bunn coffee maker for years and I desided to get one that was programable. I love this coffee maker. So easy to program and the coffee taste great.
This product is great. Easy to program (must read directions) Makes great coffee. Plus I think talking to it to program is really HI-Tech
We chose the Hamilton Beach brand to replace our deceased Mr. Coffee because we had used one on vacation and were impressed with the non-drip carafe. This product also promised a non-drip carafe which was of high importance to us, because the Mr. Coffee carafe leaked and made a huge, frustrating mess every time we made coffee. This carafe is great--no drips! We were intrigued by the voice-activated feature and have had lots of fun talking to our "coffee maid". Makes a good pot of coffee! No problems so far...
This coffee maker does make a nice, fairly hot cup of coffee. I agree with other reviewers who said the time indicator should be back lit. It is hard to see. Also, many reviewers had a problem with the voice commands. It takes several tries to get the time set by voice command. The only time that I set the clock to activate the coffee maker it failed to start. I usually do not use that feature anyway. I push the on-off switch to make my coffee.
This coffee maker is the best we have ever had. We've had many coffee makers through our fifty year marrage, and this one is the best. Coffee can set in it all day, and still taste as fresh as if you had just brewed it. And it's good and hot. We have never had a coffee pot that would do this. I highly recommend this product to anyone. It's so easy to use, and makes the best coffee. I will never buy another one unless it's made by them.
Makes great coffee but a bit cantankerous to set in that "the lady in the pot" sometimes requires several sessions to get the brew time correct. Seems to depend on distance from the blue light and/or how loud one speaks. Overall though, very pleased with the machine and still experimenting with setting the brew time.
Makes good Coffee. Would like to be able to see at a glance how much coffee was left in the carafe. It is surrounded by a dark coffee maker base and the contents of the carafe are not visible. Good value. I really liked my last Hamilton Beach coffee maker and decided to stick with the same brand. It lasted 6 years.
This coffee pot is quite interesting and easy to use.
If you don't mind talking to it, it will set the times that you need! Good value. The only downside is that a little water seems to stay around the inside top. Haven't had it that long yet, so maybe there is a solution that we haven't figured out yet.
This is a beautiful machine that does not drip and easy to use except the auto start will not work for me, 3 times it failed to start when I programmed it to so it's going back, very disappointed, I was so excited about the voice activation cause I have trouble with buttons. Very disappointed!
so far so good.makes great coffee settinh time and auto start is easy but sometimes it doesnt catch all you are saying and puts in the wrong time but that could be me

Necro's Black Sabbath inspired joint from his 2010 LP, Die!, directed by Necro and BLKDMNDS.
Necro is a has been, since gory days all of his tracks have been weak. I can barely recognize his production… he got fat and lazy
I'll give him points for consistency…if never evolving and sounding the exact same for almost 15 years counts as consistency. Which i suppose is the definition of consistency, really.
That's for sure, he's still talking the same nonsense as he did on "I love drugs", except back then the delivery and beats were much better.
Now he just looks fat and lazy.
I dig his beats and rhyme flow but he's a one trick pony when it comes to subject matter… I can't listen to horrorcore much, its gross and unappealing… Imagine if this guy used his talents for more creative/inspiring Hip Hop???
i remember when i was young his rap scared me.. HAHAHA

Secretary-General's message to the United Nations Seminar on Assistance to the Palestinian People [delivered by Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi]
Nairobi, Kenya, 1 July 2014
It is my pleasure to send greetings to the participants in the United Nations Seminar on Assistance to the Palestinian People. I thank the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People for keeping the international community's attention focused on this important subject.
Within weeks after political efforts towards a negotiated two-State solution reached an impasse, the situation on the ground grew more fragile. I condemn in the strongest terms the murder of the three Israeli teenagers abducted on 12 June in the West Bank. There can be no justification for the deliberate killing of civilians. I sincerely hope that Israeli and Palestinian authorities will work together to bring the perpetrators swiftly to justice, and I extend my deepest sympathy to the families of the victims. I call on all parties to abide by their obligations under international law and to refrain from any actions that could further escalate this highly tense situation.
I reiterate my call for both sides to resume meaningful negotiations with international engagement and support, and to address the much needed political horizon in order to avert further instability on the ground and to revive work towards achieving a durable peace.For the two-State solution to be salvaged, both parties must honour their commitment to resolve all permanent status issues, in accordance with Security Council resolutions, the Madrid principles, the Road Map, the 2002 Arab Peace initiative and existing agreements between the parties. They must also refrain from unilateral acts that diminish the prospects for a resumption of negotiations.
I am also concerned about persisting negative trends in the West Bank, including the recent killings of Palestinians, and the negative repercussions on the civilian population due to ongoing operations. I am extremely concerned about Israel's continuing settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which is illegal under international law and contradicts Israel's Road Map obligations. Demolitions of Palestinian homes and property in East Jerusalem and Area C also contravene Israel's obligation to protect the civilian population under its occupation.
The calm in Gaza has been shattered with resumed rocket firing on a near daily basis and Israeli retaliatory operations. I continue to condemn indiscriminate rocket firing and call on all parties to avoid any loss of civilian life. The persisting dire economic and humanitarian situation in Gaza remains of serious concern. I repeat my call for immediate steps to improve conditions and ensure a full opening of crossings into Gaza, including Rafah, to allow legitimate trade and movements of people, which is essential for creating economic opportunities for Palestinians.
Strengthening Palestinian institutions and improving governance is key to stimulating investment and development in the occupied Palestinian territory. Going forward, it will be important to shore up support for the Palestinian National Development Plan 2014-16.
As we face an increasingly volatile situation on the ground and in the wider region, the message is clear: negotiations and compromise are essential to achieve a viable long-term settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Without a credible political horizon, the Oslo paradigm is in real jeopardy. The international community must help and urge the parties to reshape parameters around the globally agreed goal - an end of the occupation that began in 1967; making way for an independent, sovereign, viable and prosperous Palestinian State, living side by side in peace with Israel within secure and recognized borders; and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
In this spirit, please accept my best wishes for a successful event.
