This plugin needs a bug and optimization fix for 2015! I had to move to fb comments because this makes everything to slow.
1. social login icons have disappeared from the newest version...Why does this matter? If people see those icons they are 20 times more likely to post a comment...It's easy, simple, clean, and more trustworthy from your users point of view.
2. social login is now a FARCE...you still have to register for a Disqus account...disgusting...A big impediment to users commenting.
3. if you change your comment plugin later, your comments are GONE...that's a whole lot of faith.
4. last, and probably worst, it added 30 http requests and seriously slows down your website...this is one of the cornerstones of good seo/adwords/etc.; a fast loading website...And this plugin kills it...
They could clean all of these things up easily. If they do, I'll give it another try, because it does look nice.

I went back to WordPress comments because I got tired of almost always having to wait for Disqus to load. I notice this on other blogs that use Disqus. It is no fun looking at the "D" with the spinny thing in it when the native comment system loads fast and works great.
I like that Disqus improves connectivity between blog sites, but am not willing to pay the speed penalty to get it.
the plugin seems to be in conflict with the ul lists on my site, where i'm listing all the posts inside a while loop.
I've noticed that Disqus adds automatically javascript content inside the
I like Disqus as a commenter, and so decide to give them a try on my website. And I like the idea of an improved comment system on my website. But unfortunately, Disqus doesn't provide an improved comment system on my website.
Disqus provides a comment system for their website for visitors of my website. And since I am building my own website, it doesn't make sense to stop building my website, cut it in half, and give the other half to Disqus.
In fact, I find it fairly dishonest to advertise a GPL plugins capabilities when those capabilities aren't met with the plugins code, but through signing up for another service. Especially when the service is designed to load another brand and logos near the page footers, display external advertisements, and load three third-party links into the main web site.
One of the third-party links isn't even a Disqus link, but a link to a market spyware system named scorecardresearch which takes over the web browser of visitors. The third-party site appears to sell this information to their undisclosed clients, which for all anyone knows may be direct competitors. So from one GPL plugin, you give away a large portion of your website to Disqus, and enable some other business to spy on your visitors.
Having been presented with numerous information attacks based on trackers over the past few years, I'm going to have to say, thanks but no thanks.
I was excited about Disqus, it seemed to work fine with the latest WordPress version, and my custom Themes even, in spite of the warning at install plugins page, that it wasn't tested with my WP version and hadn't been updated for 9 months.
I would give Disqus 5 stars IF I could actually use it.
I installed it, and I had read on another forum, before installing Disqus, that you could use Askimet with it by enabling Askimet in your settings inside the Disqus admin panel in settings.
Well I looked all day,for hours,till I gave up, through the settings where the wpwiki said it was, ( a site I found after I Googled a long time, only one that said you Could use Askimet with Dusqus) But finally gave up.
I searched on Disqus for Askimet, "Returned no results".
I get lots of spam comments daily, and sometimes thousands of spam comments each day on my oldest website, so I had to remove Disqus because it would take a team of people working 12 hour days to moderate spam.
I was hoping that Disqus would be a great idea for social involvement, too bad I can't use Askimet with Dusqus.
I had askimet turned off a while back and I got over 5500 spams in my database in just a few days, and I Had to do a reinstall to get my Mysql database cleaned out, Bummer.
And on top of that, I almost got blacklisted with Google because of some of the urls in there, BAD sites were showing up even porn on Google when I'd type my site in! So I HAVE to have Askimet on my sites.

I don't believe a long arm is going to be all that necessary to the day to day CCW person. There have been a few instances where a long arm would have solved the immediate threat if the owner were inclined to use it.
Personally I answer sometimes. Not something I keep in the vehicle on a regular basis. However I drive long distance and go to or through major population areas. Seeing what a storm did the south central US I feel better having a long arm along for the trip.
I don't expect that keeping it unloaded in the back is an issue until the need arises. The type of need I see for a long arm will give me enough warning I will be able to load and make ready.

Investing in a college education is always worthwhile; in this economy, it is even more crucial.
Over a working life, the typical worker with a four-year college degree earns in excess of 60 percent more than a worker with only a high school diploma. When you invest in something this important, you want to be sure it's worth your time and money. One way to do that is to make sure the college and the program you choose are "accredited."
If you were in Cedar Key two weeks ago, you may have noticed a few extra people visiting the island community. That's because the Florida Lighthouse Association held its meeting in the Island Room at Cedar Cove.
With more than 130 people in attendance, it was the largest member meeting ever for the 14-year-old non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation of the 30 remaining lighthouses along Florida's 1,200 mile coastline.
About 40 people attended last week's Annual Banquet of the Fanning Springs Chamber of Commerce – the highlight of which was most notably the recognition of its Business Longevity Award.
Outgoing Chamber President, Becky Sanford, presented the award to Joe Mercer, owner and operator of Suwannee River Brake & Tire. Mercer, who opened his business in 1978, was recognized as being the longest continuous, original business owner in Fanning Springs.
The Town of Bronson held its first community forum regarding the Comprehensive Plan last week to discuss and make preparations to update the plan.
"The Department of Community Affairs mandates that the comp plan must be reviewed every seven years," said Bruce Day with the Withlacoochee Regional Planning Council, hired by the Town to update the plan.
The School Board of Levy County's budget woes continue, with full time enrollment dropping by 118 from its ranks in the 2009-10 school year.
Speaking before the board Tuesday, Superintendent Bob Hastings announced the decrease, which comes on top of the full time enrollment decrease of 215 from the previous school year.

"I heard you're stuck here for a while. I might know a place where you can get some parts for free, taking your ship's not that much advanced than the one I know" he said, effectively dodging the question about his name. It was clear he wished to remain anonymous for now.
"And since I might be in need of getting off this planet after I'm done here, we have a mutual goal. You happen to have the only ship currently on this side of the planet. I checked from the space dock charts" the stranger continued, grabbing the nearest blank piece of paper and a pen, scribbling a rough map of the canyons and then making a thick cross on one of the dead-ends.
"It's how I got here with my brother. We served in the CSA army, guarding this sector when it was attacked. The ship's a small warship. Corvette, to be exact. None of the other crew besides me is still alive, so it won't hurt anyone if you pillage it. However, I haven't been there since we crash landed, so it might be already pillaged. Depending on your needs, it's worth to take a look" he said while scribbling, then slid the paper across the desk to the captain and put the pen back where he got it from.

Preliminary census estimates also show the share of African-American households headed by women — mostly single mothers — now exceeds African-American households with married couples, a sign of declining U.S. marriages overall but also of continuing challenges for black youths without involved fathers.
The findings, based on the latest government data, offer a preview of final 2010 census results being released this summer that provide detailed breakdowns by age, race and householder relationships.
Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by midcentury.
"We're moving toward an acknowledgment that we're living in a different world than the 1950s, where married or two-parent heterosexual couples are now no longer the norm for a lot of kids, especially kids of color," said Laura Speer, coordinator of the Kids Count project for the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation.
"It's clear the younger generation is very demographically different from the elderly, something to keep in mind as politics plays out on how programs for the elderly get supported," she said. "It's critical that children are able to grow to compete internationally and keep state economies rolling."
Currently, non-Hispanic whites make up just under half of all children 3 years old, which is the youngest age group shown in the Census Bureau's October 2009 annual survey, its most recent. In 1990, more than 60 percent of children in that age group were white.

UNH Scientist Recognized
for Effective Use of New Technology
Contact: Sharon Keeler
UNH Media Relations
October 23, 2003
DURHAM, N.H. -- Heidi Geiser, a staff scientist in the University
of New Hampshire's Center for Structural Biology, was presented
with Boston Biomedica's (BBI) first Distinguished Scientist Award.
Geiser received the award for work she has done extracting biomolecules
using BBI's patented Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT).
Last spring UNH became a test site for BBI's Barocycler NEP2017,
the instrument that is the backbone of Pressure Cycling Technology.
PCT is a novel process that subjects samples to alternating cycles
of low and high pressure, allowing scientists to extract desired
molecules from various cells and tissues that are notoriously tough
to crack.
Geiser has been working in collaboration with Vernon Reinhold,
the director of UNH's Center for Structural Biology, to apply this
technique to investigate the proteins, glycoproteins, and glycosylated
lipids that exist in C. elegans, a roundworm with a cellular make-up
that is, in many ways, like that of human cells.
"We've really appreciated being able to use PCT and the Barocycler,"
said Geiser, whose project was published in the Society for Glycobiology's
journal, Glycobiology. "It has allowed us to extract molecules
in greater quantities than before, and to discover potentially new
glycoproteins—using PCT has become our standard procedure."
Reinhold and Geiser's work is at the forefront of the emerging
fields of proteomics and glycomics—the study of molecular
structure and their functional relationships are key to developing
new therapies and a healthier society.
"Being able to read the genetic code for a protein isn't
enough, because so much changes after a gene is translated into
a protein," Professor Reinhold explained. "The glycosylation
[adding of sugar groups] to proteins is a universal process that
takes place in all life forms. In people, when this process malfunctions,
it can create severe developmental problems. We believe that if
we reveal how glycosylation works in a simple model like C. elegans,
we can lay the foundation for understanding more complex models
and developing therapeutic models for human disorders."
Boston Biomedica provides products and services that have become
global gold standards for ensuring the accuracy of test results
for diseases such as AIDS, hepatitis, West Nile and Lyme Disease.
Pressure Cycling Technology represents a new step in an additional
new direction for the company.
"This partnership with UNH has been critical for BBI,"
said Kevin W. Quinlan `72, BBI's president and COO. "As we
develop new instruments and procedures in PCT, we will need to continue
to partner with scientists who are at the frontiers of their academic
fields, such as Heide Geiser, Vern Reinhold, and their colleagues."

2011 No 4
August / September
At the eleventh hour, when this issue was already in the hands of our graphic designers, we decided to put together a 'protest' segment for the magazine. We asked twenty representatives of the Dutch and the international art world for their responses to the sweeping budget cuts for the arts passed by this Cabinet. In texts and images, their reactions express great concern for the future of art, as the politicians increasingly consign it to the marketplace, and for the future of the Netherlands as a whole, now that, as Dieter Roelstraete observes, 'The country is in the process of liquidating itself.'
In the next few years, the Dutch art world will be fundamentally altered. Art institutes, especially those supporting young, contemporary art, will disappear. This magazine also faces uncertainty, with our subsidy discontinued and not knowing which of our advertisers can survive the clear-cutting. With our own income, we do not doubt that Metropolis M will continue to exist, but we cannot foresee in what form or with what kind of organization.
Halbe Zijlstra, State Secretary for Culture, said it himself: this is not an economic decision, but a political one. Objections to the policies of the current government are aimed against an ideology that drastically affects not only the arts, but other fragile sectors, including nature, education and health care. For this reason, objections being voiced by the art world are also about the future of the entire country. Metropolis M will give considerable attention to this in coming issues. At the same time, we remain focussed on the non-established, unrhymed, undetermined, incomprehensible and often unloved art that captures our heart. In this issue, we present the exceptional talents of the various master's programmes in art and a lengthy interview with one of the Netherlands' most promising young artists: Falke Pisano.

Shares of Roundy's (RNDY -14.4%) after the grocery store chain reports slumping Q1 earnings which it (rather creatively) partially pins on the Green Bay Packers' early playoff exit. Moving forward, the company sees sales increasing 3%-5% - but forecasts same-store sales will decline by 0.5% to 1.5%.

There's something fishy here - Less than 2 weeks before this announcement they were confirming their intent to issue quarterly dividends. The stock moved on this and other encouraging statements (such as the original IPO) also stating the intent to pay dividends this quarter. I've not listened to the transcripts of the investor meeting but there should be some investigation.

Otago Primary Principals' Association president Brent
Caldwell said schools took creative steps to keep the cost of
heating down. Such moves included using energy consultants to
broker better energy rates, using time clocks on boilers,
timer-controlled wall heaters and heating according to the
Nonetheless, this year's long winter meant those steps were
still not enough for some Dunedin schools.
Andersons Bay School principal Hamish Rutherford said its
$4100 coal budget blew out in winter to $5100.
The early start to winter and the cold weather throughout
spring meant the school was running heating longer. The
school's electricity bills were up and a growing roll had
contributed to higher energy costs, Mr Rutherford said.
"It is always tricky meeting ends with our operating budget,
but we do not want the children getting cold."
Next year, the school would have to cut funding for new
assets to cover this year's shortfall.
Mr Caldwell said energy costs had increased and Ministry of
Education operations funding struggled to keep up with rising
energy prices.
The ministry adjusted schools' energy funding based on
However, it had indicated this form of funding was not
sustainable in the long term.
"Many of our schools do not enjoy modern buildings and rely
on less-than-efficient systems.
"The operations grant allocations for heat, light and power
should be reflective of the real and actual costs faced by
schools," Mr Caldwell said.

Frenchman drowns on Estepona beach trying to save a child21-07-2012
The Frenchman was quickly washed out 100m from the shore by the current.
A 42 year old Frenchman has drowned on the El Padrón beach in Estepona when he was trying to rescue a young girl who was surfing on the beach. Witnesses report the Frenchman saw the child was in trouble and was having difficulties getting out of the sea, and he threw himself into the water. He was quickly dragged by the current some 100m from the shore.
The 112 emergency services managed to revive the child who was semi-unconscious, but the cardiopulmonary procedure they carried out in the Frenchman was unsuccessful. A second adult who went into the water help was rescued by Protección Civil lifesavers.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

A strong social emphasis and succinct narrative remain the hallmarks of the popular COMPETING VISIONS: A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA, 2E. Chronicling the stories of people who have had an impact on the state's history, the text presents California as a hub of competing economic, social, and political visions. It highlights the state's cultural diversity and explicitly compares it to other Western states, the nation, and the world--illustrating the national and international significance of California's history. Extremely student-friendly, the text's chronological organization and thematic approach help you keep track of events and fully understand their significance. Telling the full story, COMPETING VISIONS concludes by discussing such current events as immigration and demographic changes, the Occupy Movement, energy challenges, and more.

Comments about Beau-coup Personalized Cosmetic Bags:
I bought it for a friend/co worker for a christmas gift to use as a make up bag inside a purse I bought for her. The size was great for all of her stuff. However, for the price I paid plus shipping and handling, it was kind of pricey for a make up bag. I also thought it was kind of cheap looking. Kudos that it had a white plastic lining which is easy for cleaning, but it also cheapened the look of it. Also, my personalization was off center which discouraged me since I could'nt return it or get another.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
It was just what I was looking for!

If you were planning on making an amberjack trip in the Gulf of Mexico when the season reopened on Aug. 1, make other plans.
Go to Blue Bayou Water Park on a scorching hot Saturday and you'll likely be waiting more than an hour to ride the water slide.
Not long after July 4, I'm pretty well burned out on fishing and already starting to think about hunting season.
The fog is lifting off the surface of the calm lake, and the sun still hasn't peaked above the tree line. These are perfect conditions for working a topwater plug near the shore for bass. Nothing is more exciting than calling a bass up to smash a lure on the surface.
The 18th Annual Faux Pas Lodge Rodeo is set to roll next week out of Venice Marina, and this year's event features a brand new five-fish red snapper stringer division made possible because the state waters line has been pushed beyond the old 3-mile boundary.
Here in the Deep South, if the calendar says July would anyone in their right mind argue against the conditions outside being referred to as anything other than the hot and humid "summer doldrums?"
It's hard not to do a double take when you lay your eyes on the monstrous 31-pound tripletail caught last week in East Bay.
Bass fishermen have a lot of different lures to choose as their go-to baits at different times of year and for different fishing situations.
The International Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo — billed as the oldest fishing tournament in the United States — will get underway next Thursday, July 28, at sunrise.
Don't freak out if waterfowl breeding population estimates from the prairies of Canada and the Northern U.S. due out next month are lower than what they've been in recent years.
That's the message to the state's duck hunters from Larry Reynolds, waterfowl study leader for the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, who pointed out that despite great population estimates last summer, crazy weather conspired to make the 2015-16 season one lots of folks would like to forget.
The pickup truck sat jack-knifed with its trailer on the boat ramp, driver's side window rolled down, with a woman's head sticking out.
Agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries cited two men for alleged oyster violations on July 18 in St. Bernard Parish, according to a news release.
Here are some facts about sunscreen, compliments of the American Academy of Dermatology.
It's easy to think about sunscreen when it's a bluebird day and the sun is baking everything it touches.
I can remember when it was important to get a tan. Back in high school it was just the thing to do. In fact, I remember buying "tanning lotion" to move the process along.
It was like slathering on liquid Crisco.
And it was stupid.
Stanley Sevin pretty much grew up in the bait business — his family owns Bait House Seafood in Chauvin — so he knows a few tricks about how to maximize the lifespan of shrimp in your livewell.
"I've been in it since I was a little boy," said Sevin, now 30, who works full-time offshore in the tugboat industry but still helps out at the bait shop located at 6003 Highway 56 on his days off. "You know how we do it down the bayou, growing up in the family business."

I'm used to working with 2010 where you can create a custom template file based off either the one or two column layout by using the content .one-column class.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to create a two column template in a 2011 child theme. I've got the sidebar, I've just got the wrong content widths going on.
I took the 2011's sidebar-page.php file and renamed it (both file name and in the header of the file) to home-page.php / * Template Name: Homepage Template. The rest of this file is exactly the same as sidebar-page.php.
SO... why isn't the layout width of the content area the same?
I can see this new template file is getting the body classes of; singular two-column right-sidebar ... http://ratest10.com/
while a page using the default sidebar-page.php template file gets the body classes of; two-column right-sidebar. http://ratest10.com/?page_id=2
How the HECK do I get rid of that '.singular' body class in my new template file (because when I remove it in FireBug I know that is where my problem is).

Glenn Beck proves he's a brainless frog, warning (?) "Barack Obama has galvanized the country…. He's forced us to think!"
To prove a point known only to him, Fox News commentator Glenn Beck throws a frog in boiling water (maybe). It's not entirely clear from the video that Beck actually did what he said he did:
"You know the old saying, if you put a frog into boiling water, he's going to jump right out, because he's scalding hot, but if you place the frog in lukewarm water and gradually raise the temperature, it won't realize what's happening and die?"
Once and for all people, this assertion is a myth. As Wikipedia puts it, German physiologist Friedrich Goltz "demonstrated that frogs will indeed remain in slowly heated water, but only if their brain is removed" — see "Turns out humans are not like slowly boiling frogs "¦ we are like slowly boiling brainless frogs."
Now if anyone on the planet is proof that our species is like slowly boiling brainless frogs — that we should drop one of the sapiens, and, provisionally put the other one in quotes, so we are Homo "sapiens" sapiens — that would be Glenn "Almost everyone who does believe in global warming is a socialist" Beck.
But here's the ironic thing about Beck's rant — his big complaint against Obama here is that, yes, "he's forced us to think":
Barack Obama has galvanized the country, because of the sheer size of the bills he's proposed, and the number of the bills, the urgency he's placing on the bills. He's forced us to think! And get involved! We have — not like John McCain, been boiled slowly — we have been tossed quickly into boiling water, and don't forget what happens! What happens when you throw 'em in! When you throw 'em in, frogs into boiling water![throws frog in, nothing happens]
Okay…forget the frog. [pause] I swear I thought they jumped right out. But they don't.
As HuffingtonPost notes, "Beck apparently palmed a rubber frog." Indeed Beck then says:
"Forget about the Republicans, because most of them are fake. Forget about the Democrats, because most of them are fake. And forget about the frog, because it was fake!"
Forget about Beck. He's all too real — but brainless.
I kind of like a President who makes us think. Lord knows, nobody would ever have accused our previous president of having done that….
12 Responses to Glenn Beck proves he's a brainless frog, warning (?) "Barack Obama has galvanized the country…. He's forced us to think!"
Well, you would think PETA or the SPCA would jump all over this stunt. Assuming it was not FAKE…
Are you a socialist if you want health care reform as well I wonder. Its the same old same old from Beck and FOX news. Its just shows how incredibly annoying some parts of the political USA can be.
Why reprint or republish anything Beck says?
Beck's rants and and raves have no meaning. They are simply noise in our system. people who think what he says havs meaning are in for a rude awakening at some point. They do have a purpose, and this is to enrich himself by sayong anything that increases viewership or advertising revenue for FOX. But anything he says has no intrinsic meaning. That's really important to understand about someone like him.
[JR: They may have no meaning, but they do have an impact, as Van Jones certainly understands. He can't be ignored. I try to focus on his extreme inanity.]
The panic is rising up. Good.
May be we will try to jump out in time…six months to save the world.
Gordon Brown warns next six months will test the world
On Africa, climate, nuclear arms, recession and terrorism, prime minister tells UN it stands 'at a point of no return'
We definitely need an overall approach to a sustainable society.
We should look beyound just the carbon issue and come up with a general solution.
Capitalism will have to evolve as it has proven to be lacking.
Earth needs users' guide to protect it from people
A new users' guide is needed to help protect the Earth from dangerous changes such as global warming and extinctions of animals and plants caused by humans, scientists said.
A group of 28 experts suggested nine key areas, such as freshwater use, chemical pollutants or changes in land use, where governments could define limits to ensure a "safe operating space for humanity."
"Today we are clearly driving development in the world blindfolded,"
Forced "us" to think, huh? If only!
If he used a fake frog, then he knew it wouldn't jump out, just making his analogy false… what is the point of that?
Beck loves the Obama presidency. So much material for a right wing, small government, bring back our (19th century) America naysayer!
McCain would have been a bore.
Obama is the best thing that ever happened to Beck. I think we can all agree on that.
Yes, he's a hit. ;) Now if he could only learn to spell.
I think someone is either Jealous because he does not have a program like the Glenn Beck Show, or he misses Beck when he was on CNN.
Beck: "Barack Obama has galvanized the country, because of the sheer size of the bills he's proposed, and the number of the bills, the urgency he's placing on the bills. He's forced us to think!"
Not to worry, Mr. Beck. You're quite safe. :)
(I know this is three months old, but I couldn't resist.)

An almoner who seeks out the poor
The Pope wants his almoner to seek out the poor instead of expecting them to come knocking at the Vatican's door. The new papal almoner, Konrad Krajewski, said this in a statement at the end of his Episcopal consecration. Mgr. Krajewski who will turn 50 next November was appointed as Archbishop Guido Pozzo's successor on 3 August. The consecration ceremony took place yesterday afternoon in St. Peter's Basilica.
Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano wrote that the Pope did not concelebrate mass for the occasion but assisted, taking his place at the right hand side of the altar and at the moment of the consecration he imposed his hands upon the new bishop. The President of the Vatican Governorate, Cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, also presided at the rite of consecration, assisted by Bishops Piero Marini (who was master of ceremonies during John Paul II's reign and the early part of Benedict XVI's pontificate) and the Emeritus Bishop of Łódź, Mgr. Władysław Ziółek.
At the end of the consecration ceremony, Francis' new almoner who has the responsibility of distributing alms to the poor thanked the Pope "for his prayers and his trust". He said that by choosing him for the role, Francis had given him "the chance to adore and touch Jesus through the poor, the abandoned and the marginalised. It allows me to discover the face of Jesus through that of my neighbours. He wants me to seek them out instead of waiting for them to come knocking at the Vatican's door. Your Holiness, I know my duty as a priest is to serve others," he said, addressing Francis directly.
Mgr. Krajewski explained his mission by describing the mosaic of the crucifixion created by the Slovenian Jesuit Ivan Rupnik in the Redemptoris Mater which adorns the Redemptoris Mater chapel in the Vatican. "To the right of the cross there is the figure of a Roman centurion. We can't see the soldier's head. He is facing Christ who has his eyes shut as Mary embraces him from behind and collects the blood and water pouring out from his chest in her hands. The blood and water symbolise the salvation he brought. As Mary does this she looks at the centurion and sees his face." The prelate explained that in Poland "they say bad people don't have a face. They've lost it. But Mary looks at the centurion. Given he is one of the men who crucified Jesus he should be faceless; and yet she sees him."
"Only those who truly love are able to see the faces of those who to all others have no face: the missing, the poor, those who are far away from the faith or who do not believe. Mary sees the face of a stranger, a non-believer. And yet it was he who professed his faith in Christ in the first place: he really was the Son of God! So it is not true that he is a stranger, a lost man who is far from the faith, he is the first non Jewish believer, the closest to Jesus". This teaching is very relevant to modern mankind. "If those of us here present cannot see the soldier's face, it means we do not love like Mary does, that we love too little! Mary invites each and every one of us to grow in love and open up to others; to find God in to hers," Mgr. Krajewski said.
Mgr. Krajewski went on to thank those present at the ceremony for the friendship they had shown to him: "John Paul II said a real friend is a person that makes us become better people. I can say that having worked in the Vatican for 14 years, it is tank to you that I have become a better person. So I really mean it when I say you are my true friends!" "You immediately called me "Fr. Corrado". Thank you for the trust you have shown in me and for this wonderful title which encompasses my life's path. I humbly ask you to keep on calling me "Fr. Corrado". I must above all be a father to myself and to others," he added.
The most moving part of the ceremony was when Mgr. Krajewski spoke about a priest – who was present at yesterday's mass – who has been by his side since his youth. "He was spiritual leader to us and our families. His home was always open to us young people. His mother often had to perform the miracle of the multiplication of the plates at a minute's notice. We would go to parsonage and stay for dinner. The kneeling stool was the most important piece of furniture in his house."
We often saw him praying. We would go on those famous pilgrimages to Częstochowa on foot. He wasn't attached to material things because he paid for our religious education, our schools, the seminary, our books and our first tunics. He helped so many families." "He is a real almoner," Mgr. Krajewski said. "He is a man of few words and many good deeds and doesn't want any recognition for it! I take the liberty to kiss his hands and with this gesture I express my gratitude to all of you."

The state's eight counties have been declared natural disaster areas by the federal Department of Agriculture because of damages done by a drought that started in April, officials said.
"Our hearts go out to those Connecticut farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters," said Tom Vilsack, the department's secretary, in a statement.
This declaration allows farmers in the state to pursue emergency loans from the Department of Agriculture.

Pediophobes [1] (that's people who suffer from a fear of dolls) hopefully stayed well away from the April ad shoot in Brisbane, Australia, that produced this commercial from JWT Sydney for Allen's Confectionery. It shows a 30-foot-tall doll, created with help from animatronics expert John Cox (an Oscar winner for his work on Babe), delighting a crowd by blowing huge oblong candy bubbles that explode and rain down normal-size candy. There's a lengthy behind-the-scenes video here [2]. The doll, at least in its stature, resembles a similar giant puppet created in 2006 [3] by French theater company Royal de Luxe. That doll was more frightening-looking, like something out of a fairy tale. This one, dressed in pink with blonde pigtails and walking along to the nursery rhyme "This Old Man," is more baby-like, in keeping with the candy theme.

Henry V
by William Shakespeare
Henry V Art and Culture Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #7
The confident and over-lusty French
Do the low-rated English play at dice
And chide the cripple tardy-gaited night,
Who like a foul and ugly witch doth limp
So tediously away. The poor condemnèd English,
Like sacrifices, by their watchful fires
Sit patiently and inly ruminate (4.Prologue.19-25)
The Chorus is instrumental in Shakespeare's quest to portray Henry's troops as the underdogs at Agincourt. Here, we learn that the "poor condemned English" are sitting around their campfires, preparing to die in the following day's battle, while the French (who outnumber their enemies) kick back and relax.
Quote #8
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty
a heart. But the saying is true: 'The empty vessel
makes the greatest sound.' Bardolph and Nym had
ten times more valor than this roaring devil i' th' old
play, that everyone may pare his nails with a wooden
dagger, and they are both hanged, and so would
this be if he durst steal anything adventurously. I
must stay with the lackeys with the luggage of our
camp. The French might have a good prey of us if he
knew of it, for there is none to guard it but boys.(4.4.67-76)
When the unnamed Boy (Falstaff's page) criticizes Bardolph and Nim, he compares them to the "roaring devil i' / the old play," which is a shout-out to the "Vice" figure, a stock figure in Medieval Morality plays. Apparently, Falstaff's Boy is a huge theater buff.
Quote #9
Vouchsafe to those that have not read the story
That I may prompt them; and of such as have,
I humbly pray them to admit th' excuse
Of time, of numbers, and due course of things,
Which cannot in their huge and proper life
Be here presented. (5.Prologue.1-6)
Yeesh. Enough already with the apologies.

Carnival gives way to Lenten season
Published: Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 9:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 9:56 a.m.
The past several weekends saw a host of parades and family and community celebrations throughout our region focused on Mardi Gras.
The festivities culminated Tuesday, on Mardi Gras, with the raucous revelry that south Louisiana has long enjoyed.
On Ash Wednesday, with the formal end of Carnival and the beginning of the Lenten season, the religious mood has changed from celebration to preparation.
Various Christian denominations begin the observance of Lent — the solemn preparation for the coming Easter holiday — at this time and mark it with self-sacrifice and contemplation.
These are two traits that are far too seldom embraced in our society, where we are used to getting what we want now. We are accustomed to fast food and the immediacy of the Internet.
But they are appropriate, particularly now, on the heels of our giant celebratory period.
Some people abstain from eating meat or drinking caffeine or smoking cigarettes during Lent. The religious notion behind the season is that it prepares us for Easter, the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Quiet reflection, reverence and repentance, though, need not adhere strictly to one faith or another. They are all useful exercises for anyone who embraces them.
Compared to the gaudy displays and practices of Carnival, Lent is somber. But it is not sad.
It is a time of sacrifice, yes, a time when Christians examine their beliefs and their deeds. They look behind them at what they have done and what they should have done.
And they look ahead, to a time just weeks from now when they will celebrate again. Then, the celebration will focus on the center of their faith.
Each year, we welcome the Carnival season after Christmas and New Year's. We look forward to the loud parades and gatherings, the food and family, the fun and friends.
Even if we are a bit sorry to see that festive time of year pass, we go forward into the next, this one paving the way for Easter.
Where the Carnival season focuses on public displays of celebration and revelry, Lent focuses on personal reflection and preparation. The outward signals of what is going on are less pronounced, but the inward significance no less real.
As we mark the transition from Carnival to Lent, look back at another festive year, some wet weather, some great parades. And look forward to an eventful journey between now and Easter.

Make your own customized molds and refreshing ice pop ingredients to go in them.
In the height of summer, there's nothing like an ice pop to cut through the heat. Though store-bought ones do the job, pops made by hand — both the molds and the juicy refreshers — will taste that much better.
Ice pops can be cast in any shape you envision. You can make simple pop molds from everyday household items or from food packaging. If you want to get really crafty, you can experiment with liquid silicone and make your own mold.
You'll find these instructions and recipes, as well as many more, in Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone (Quirk Books).
Close the slit (if you made one) with rubber bands or duct tape. Pour the pop mixture into the mold. Freeze for 20–30 minutes. When the mixture is partially frozen, insert the stick so it stands upright. It helps to surround the popsicle stick with other sticks perpendicularly to keep it in place. Freeze for 8 hours. Remove the rubber bands or tape, and remove the pop from the mold. Fabulous!

A bill that would allow direct sales of cars serves as a "pre-emptive strike" against any measures to block automaker Tesla from selling its vehicles to consumers, according to an Arizona lawmaker. Meanwhile, Tesla reportedly named Arizona as a potential home for its planned battery factory.
Tesla recently announced plans for a lithium battery "gigafactory" and is considering four southwestern US states for its location. The city of Tucson has made a formal proposal to become the site of the Tesla giga plant.
With Tesla's network of chargers around the US growing quickly, a cross-country road trip may be in many Tesla owners' summer plans. But the dearth of electric car chargers in and around the nation's most popular national parks could pose a problem.
The Paris-based Autolib is reportedly rolling into London with the goal of mustering a fleet of 100 electric cars in its first year.
As more Americans move into cities and curb their driving habits over concerns of traffic and pollution, researchers say that mass transit use is higher than it has been in decades.
Honda has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its hybrid offerings in the U.S, despite halting production of the Honda Insight later this year. Honda's hybrid efforts will focus on larger models like the Accord and Civic.
Though the Nissan Altima was a staple of the car company's line up last year, at the Geneva Motor Show it looks like Nissan is all about the Juke for 2015.
Tesla Motors (TSLA) will reportedly build additional charging stations and service centers across Europe. By year's end, the company claims that its combined European and Asian sales will be almost double those it expects in North America.
Driver satisfaction with public facilities to charge electric cars is improving according to a recent survey from California's Center for Sustainable Energy.
Automakers and consumer electronics manufacturers increasingly turn to lithium-ion batteries to power their products. After Tesla Motors (TSLA) reportedly consumed a significant chunk of battery output produced in 2013, the company may begin working with other manufacturers to produce their own battery supply.
Facing lagging sales and stiffer competition from Toyota's Prius models, Honda reportedly has pulled the plug on its own Insight hybrid.
Tesla Model S won Consumer Reports' 'Best Overall' vehicle award, beating out cars from traditional automakers like Ford and Chevrolet. The Tesla Model has been a Consumer Reports favorite since it joined the fleet last year.
2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup hasn't quite reached dealers yet, but it's already making an impression on truck buyers. The automaker received more than 8,000 orders for the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup in just three days – more than twice the corporate average.
Mitsubishi is developing an electric motor for vehicles that the car company says has improved cooling and generates a similar amount of power that is produced by existing motors.
President Barack Obama said new fuel efficiency rules will be proposed for large trucks by March of next year. The goal will be to improve fuel economy by between 10 to 20 percent by 2018.
In a deal announced today, Japanese automaker Nissan will supply electric vehicles for Bhutan's government and taxi fleets. The Himalayan kingdom said the move is part of an effort to curb fossil fuel emissions, and hinted other manufacturers may also sell electric cars there in the future.
When the U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act was passed in 2007, ethanol was viewed as a way to cut gasoline consumption and reduce dependence on foreign oil. Seven years later, times have changed.
Hyundai Santa Fe and other models helped the Korean automaker joined luxury brands Tesla and Cadillac in the list of the top three brands that US car buyers adore most. Hyundai had the highest number of well-loved vehicles on the list, with its Elantra GT, Equus, Genesis, Sonata joinign the Hyundai Santa Fe.
General Motors reportedly will begin manufacturing its pickup trucks using aluminum starting in 2018. The move follows rival automaker Ford, which started using the metal to make its trucks lighter and help meet stricter fuel efficiency standards.

[dev] How to override the default register function completely?
For a plug in that is being written i would like to completely override wordpress default user register functions. All over the system. If a new member registers i would like him to be processed using my own custom written function.
I have the following actions added:
add_action('register_form', 'wpipb_registernew');
add_action('register_post', 'wpipb_registerpost', 1, 2);
add_action('wp_insert_user', 'wpipb_insert_user', 1, 2);
But still, even tough i have added those actions it still parses the default WP functions. I would like to override them, Not add some parsing things to them.

I've been working on this for hours and can't find a solution on the net or anywhere. I have a div that floats on the page and there are two more divs inside of it to align the title and the content. Very simple stuff. It looks fine.
In MSIE, a link inside of the content section of the float works perfectly. In Firefox, it doesn't.
Has anyone run into any problems with links inside of floats with Firefox? The test page (soon to expire so don't hold your breath) is on my site and I'm working on it so only pay attention to the two tone blue box on the right side in the middle of the intro text.
I'm pulling hair out.

IBM's Watson Loses to Congressman, Discovers Love
Rush Holt 2016.
It's time for Rush Holt, a Democratic congressman from New Jersey, to seriously start thinking about running for the presidency in 2016, for he seems to be the only person capable of leading the country and the human race to victory in the coming war against the machines. Holt, a bona fide rocket scientist before joining Congress in 1999 and an actual five-time winner on Jeopardy!, defeated IBM's seemingly unstoppable triviabot Watson during an untelevised practice round of Jeopardy! in Washington last night. Holt tweeted the news: "I played a full round against @IBMWatson tonight and was proud to hold my own: the final tally was Holt $8,600, Watson $6,200."
The world is rejoicing Nancy Pelosi tweets: "Congratulations to @RushHolt for showing @IBMWatson human intelligence isn't in #jeopardy!" and rightly so, but don't get carried away. Despite Holt's victory, the match still contained some ominous signs of Watson's growing sophistication, according to CNN:
Watson quickly delighted the crowd of IBM employees and congressional staffers with its quick, humanlike answers. When given the clue, "Ambrose Bierce described this as a temporary insanity cured by marriage," Watson beat both congressmen to the buzzer, answering confidently, "What is love?"
Watson knows what love is! We are running out of time!
Rep. Rush Holt beats IBM's Watson in 'Jeopardy!' [Asbury Park Press]

Since September, America Has Lost One Government Job For Every Five Private Sector Jobs Created
The public sector lost another 13,000 jobs in December, bringing the post-recession job loss total for federal, state, and local governments to more than 600,000. Those job losses — many of which have hit teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public safety officials — have had a devastating impact on the economic recovery. If public sector job creation had kept its pre-recession pace, the unemployment rate would be a full point lower.
Government job losses began to slow earlier this year, but in the last three months, the public sector has shed another 89,000 jobs. And as Demos' David Callahan noted in a blog post today, that means the public sector has lost one job for every five private sector jobs created in that time:
But here's a statistic that jumped out at me: 89,000 public sector workers lost their jobs in October, November, and December—with most of those losses, 66,000, occurring in October.
Large-scale layoffs of government workers continue across the United States. Such layoffs undermine local economies and stymie the recovery. For every five workers who were hired in the past three months, one was laid off by government.
Government job losses have come as a result of crunched budgets at the state and local levels, where a vast majority of the losses have occurred. They've been exacerbated by spending cuts at the federal level. Efforts to alleviate those losses through stimulus measures like the American Jobs Act, which would have provided aid to states and localities to rehire teachers and public safety officials, were repeatedly blocked by the GOP.
That has terrible consequences for the overall economic recovery. Fewer government workers means fewer workers overall, which means that less money is being spent throughout the economy. A study from the Economic Policy Institute, in fact, found that the shrinking public sector has cost the overall economy at least 750,000 private sector jobs.
