Compost acts like a sponge in the soil and helps improve soil life, says gardening expert Phil Dudman.The author of Down to Earth Garden Design says you can even build up a garden using layers of leaves, chicken manure, mulch, vegie scraps and cuttings from shrubs.
Here are a few of Dudman's tips to help get you started:
Compost is really a soil conditioner, which most gardeners will incorporate into the soil when planting to help to loosen up the soil and help to inject some micro-organisms into the soil and improve the soil life.That's really what compost is about.
It can actually help to hold moisture in the soil too because compost itself acts like a sponge in the soil.If you've got a really dry sandy soil, compost will help to hold that moisture in so it doesn't drain through so quickly.
If you want quick results you really have to dig it through with a garden fork to incorporate it in with your existing soil particles.If you've got a heavy soil, the compost actually will help to lighten it up, help (the soil) to drain better and so the water can penetrate and find its way down to the roots.
It works on any soil, even if you've got a fantastic soil - you can't get enough compost.
You can create garden beds without actually having to dig the soil.So if your soil is really rubbish and you think 'look, the one thing that's stopping me from getting a start on my garden is I'm scared of breaking my back and working too hard and getting blisters ... I want a quick garden bed', well you can get out there on your hard-as-a-rock soil, throw down newspaper over the grass to suffocate it and then do layers of compost, leaves, a little bit of chicken manure, mulch, some vegie scraps, some cuttings from your shrubs and things like that.
Just build it up in layers a bit like a lasagne and then you end up with a big layer of mulch and you can just make little pockets into that, throw in some compost, plant into the compost and slowly all that will break down and just be this amazing soil on top of your existing soil.
I've started a lot of gardens like that and had fantastic returns with vegetable gardens.
It's great for kids to get stuff going, and great things for older people that don't want to be digging the soil, you don't have to ... you're just basically mimicking what's happening in nature.
Anything woody is going to have more appeal to termites so you need to be careful there, particularly if you're having (the garden) close to the house.
What some gardeners will do as far as having garden beds close to the house is to choose an alternative mulch that is not organic but say petals.
And you can find some mulches that are cypress that claim to be termite resistant. That's something you'd need to check with your landscape supplier when you're choosing a mulch.

Teachers instill love of learning
Published: Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 1, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: This letter is a simple statement of gratitude to extraordinary leaders in our community -- teachers.
Today is the last day of school for my first- and third-graders at Immaculata School. Immaculata, like most schools, has many great teachers. They are the ones who go beyond teaching our children to showing them that life is a glorious exploration and celebration.
I want to thank all the teachers, but especially two: Karen Garcia and Joy Eyer. I have rarely in my life seen such inspiration and selfless giving as from these two.
Garcia is famous for her event days -- Chocolate Day and the Great Depression Day -- which teach children while leaving an indelible impression on their minds about the joy of learning.
My third-grader brought home an original stained glass piece that one would expect to see in an art gallery. He told me Eyer made it for him; she makes a piece for every child in the school.
There is much that seems afoul with the world, but so long as there are the likes of Garcia and Eyre around us (and our children), there is much -- very much -- that is good.

She's a rookie cop. He's a professional crook. She catches him in the act of stealing big bucks from a mob boss's safe. He manages to embroil her in a crime so explosive it could cost both of them their lives. Natural adversaries, their only common ground is mutual dislike and distrust-and the fact that the same killers are now hunting them both. Sparks fly and passion flares as they run for their lives, knowing that teaming up is the only chance they have to survive. Renowned for her well-crafted sexy and suspenseful novels, "Robards's singular skill of combining intrigue with ecstasy...gives her romances their edge" (Lexington Herald-Leader) and in Sleepwalker, she has created another entertaining page-turner.

I just started using Google Analytics. Reading the instructions it says that the best place for them to be placed is just before the end of the closing head tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'xxx']);
(function () {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
I thought I had read advice before that said I should place them right at the end of the document. Also I am using jQuery and javascript so would it be better to place the code so that it fires only after document ready?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Nice little Netbook
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this netbook. I wasn't sure if I wanted a larger laptop or the smaller netbook. In the end, I decided the netbook would serve my purposes the best. I LOVE this little netbook! It's quality built - not plastic, but aluminum and magnesium alloy. The battery lasts a LONG time, and this is important when you are traveling. I like the features where the hard-drive will shut down if dropped and the keyboard is specially treated to handle unexpected spills. It's very easy to carry around in an airport and take camping when free wii-fii is available. My only issue is that it gets hot on my lap. I intend to purchase a cooling pad to address this issue. I recommend this netbook. I think it's better than most netbooks you can purchase in the store due to it's metal case and features mentioned above.

Director: Justin Slayer
Company: Justin Slayer International
Cast: Justin Slayer, Delanie, Joyce (I), Nat Turnher, Ryder Cummings, Kyanna Lee, Laurie Vargas, Deep Threat, Victoria Allure, Lana Sky, Millian Blu
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Shooter/performer Justin Slayer established himself with his latinaphile series, Mami Culo Grande, and swiped a few well-deserved awards, while he was planting his cock, balls deep, in some fine Latina rumps.
Perhaps it's intended, but the footage in Slayer's fifth installment is a little more amateur — both in technique and talent — than the kind of great product we've expected to see from him. His stuff, this time around, views a little more like "My Home Video Trip to (insert South American Country here)" than some of his incredible sex footage of yore.
Either way, Slayer still does offer some solid sex scenes. Trysts with Delanie and Millian Blu are noteworthy fuck sessions.
While this is surely a collector's item for anyone following Slayer's excellent ethnic series, we're hoping to see "the black pipe layer" back on top of his game in the near future.
Retailing: Stock with the rest of the series.

There's only one word i can say about the performance.Complacency.United should have buried Chelsea in the first half and it was a shock that they adopted to the same technique they used against Real Madrid.I fear United might get "lazy" and adopt to this style which does not suit the teams traditional way of playing.Defend and then counter attack.You could see that they took their foot off the peddle and this allowed Chelsea to come back.Loss of concentration resulted in lots of miss-placed passes from all angles in the field.It was so frustrating to watch this team last night.The mid-field got exposed big time.Fergie said its because of the Real game.This is just encouraging the team to get even more lazier,because they know they can get away from it from the coach.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - State troopers have started their newest
version of the "Take Back Our Highways" safety program.
The 24-hour-a-day traffic blitz started Wednesday and runs until
Nov. 26. Assistant Public Safety Director F.A. Bingham says every
available state troopers is on the highways, and troopers are
focusing impaired drivers.
Bingham said drunken driving increases during the holidays
because there's more traffic on the roads, the holidays are
conducive to more alcohol use, and it's hunting season.
State troopers plan another "Take Back Our Highways" program
for the week before Christmas.

Epigenetic contributions to cancer metastasis

The molecular basis of cancer encompasses both genetic and epigenetic alterations. These epigenetic changes primarily involve global DNA methylation changes in the form of widespread loss of methylation along with concurrent hypermethylation events in gene regulatory regions that can repress tissue-specific gene expression. Increasingly, the importance of these epigenetic changes to the metastatic process is being realized. Cells may acquire an epi-genotype that permits their dissemination from the primary tumour mass or the ability to survive and proliferate at a secondary tissue site. These epigenetic changes may be cancer-type specific, or in some cases may involve a common target gene providing a selective advantage to multiple metastatic cell types. In this review, I examine the growing volume of literature related to the epigenetic contributions to cancer metastasis. I discuss the functional importance of these epigenetic phenomena and how new epigenetic biomarkers may permit the identification of diagnostic signatures of metastasis and the development of new cancer therapies.

American Idiotby Green Day
View All Available Formats & Editions
If you had to pick one band to don the "least likely to create a rock opera" mantle, Cali-punk trio Green Day would be among the most logical candidates. That makes the existence of American Idiot something of a surprise -- and the excellence of its contents little short of a revelation. There are no half measures on the sprawling disc. Billie Joe Armstrong has created a full slate of characters and given considerable thought to their back-stories -- heck, he even dug out a glockenspiel to add dramatic tension to the nine-minute epic "Jesus of Suburbia." Thing is, Armstrong and company haven't lost their snotty Gilman Street edge in the process -- as evidenced by the snarling, expletive-laced title track and the made-for-pogoing sing-along "Extraordinary Girl." While there's obviously a political subtext running through the disc, Armstrong seldom gets so specific that the disc will sound dated come the next election cycle. Instead, songs like the Clash-styled "Are We the Waiting" and the spare ballad "Wake Me Up when September Ends" delve into adult-oriented emotional distress with the same sort of incisiveness the band once applied to teen angst. While there are occasional lapses into utter excess -- "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" encroaches on show-tune territory -- American Idiot packs enough power, both sonically and emotionally, to make it worthy of extended play (and consideration for a 2004 time capsule).

Seeing as how Green Day's new album 21st Century Breakdown is two days away from release some might see it pointless to review this cd but after reading many of the reviews on this sight I have a few things to say. First off, this is Green Day's best album because they grew up. Dont get me wrong 1991's 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours through 2000's Warning are all rememberable albums but American Idiot is the best. Another reviewer pointed out that the band grew up and matured because America grew up and matured. Yes the 90's were very laid back. Our biggest issues besides the end of the Gulf War were the huge Yellowstone fire and Bill Clintons little affair. When Billie Joe wrote the songs on the album Dookie most of our troops werent hunting for Osama bin laden and raiding the towns and homes of Iraqies and Afghanies. The twin towers were still up and the pentagon had yet to require remodeling due to a plane destroying part of the building. Green Day did the right move with this album because they said what needed to be said at the time. American Idiot is better than their previous albums because they grew up. The people that say this is the problem are clearly the ones that need to grow up themselves. Secondly, this album is not emo. Simple Plan and Fall Out Boy are emo. This album has raw emotion and its relatable in a mature way. Saying this album is emo is very much like saying The Wall by Pink Floyd is emo. Those two albums have similair stories and they are both amazing for a reason. Actual emo music consists of whiney teenagers who got a red mustang for their birthday when they wanted a black on. Thats all emo music is. Its people that dont have issues making up issues because depressed people seem to get more attention than happy peole but its all fake and stupid. American Idiot captures real situations and a) makes you relate to these issues and b) delivers them in a way that seem believable. Lastly I just want to defend Green Day for the way they look. For all you idiots reading this pay attention cause im only typing this once. THEY ARE ROCKSTARS. IF BILLIE JOE WANTS TO DRESS IN BLACK AND WEAR EYELINER THEN SHUT UP AND LET HIM!!! All you morons that claim to be die hard fans of Green Day yet hate this album for retarted reasons like the ones mentioned above please shut up. Just shut up. Why penalize a band that changed thier sound? If everyone was like you people all the other great bands would've failed too. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and many others wouldn't have succeeded if the world was full of tone deaf morons that clearly dont know what good mucic is. Michael Fee age 20
This is really a great album. Some of it is a bit softer than I like (Wake Me Up When September Ends, etc.), but I'm not going to knock good music. They did a better job with this CD than with their others, which are also good. I definitely recommend this.
Before i heard about Green Day i was like into pop and stuff like that, but one day i heard Blvd of Broken Dreams on the radio and i vowed to figure out who sang it then a couple nights later on Saturday Night Live the music guest was Green Day and the first song they played was Blvd of Broken Dreams so i was like OH MY GOD thats who does that song! I just had to go out and buy that CD and now Green Day is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME!I hate to listen to pop music now, now i mostly listen to classic rock and punk rock.
When you ask people why they like a certain song, they may say they like it because it has a catchy beat or is something fun to dance to. If you were to ask me, I'd say the lyrics and inspiration behind the songs are first and foremost on my music priority list. When I had first heard of the album American Idiot, I thought that this was an album I wouldn't be forgetting anytime soon. And I was right. The first song I had listened to from the album was Extraordinary Girl. I immediately fell in love with it. The lyrics meant something to me. I felt... connected with it, as if Billie Joe was singing about me. I guess that proves how great he is at writing songs. I can honestly say that I had never felt that way about a song before. I immediate listened to other songs on the album. Whether it be the personal close-to-home Jesus of Suburbia, the intense and dark Boulevard of Broken Dreams, the painful but beautiful Give Me Novocain, or the small but great vocal additions of Mike Dirnt and Tre' Cool in Homecoming, I loved it all. But there was one song on the album that REALLY hit home. This song was so great and intense I still get watery eyes from it every single time I listen to it. That song would be the last song on the album, known as Whatsername. The song's meaning is mainly about trying to forget about somebody that you made a mistake with, and that it's you that has to live with it. I've been there, and I can't get it out of my mind. So for me, the song Whatsername is like therapy. My favorite part of the song would have to be the following lines, "And in the darkest night, If my memory serves me right, I'll never turn back time, Forgetting you but not the time..." In conclusion, this is by far the best album I've ever listened to. I HIGHLY recommend this album, and look forward to every future Green Day album.
this is one of the best CDs on earth. american idiot... GET IT!!!
After being a Green Day fan for a while I heard there new song on the radio American Idoit, it rocked. After buying the CD the day it came out I am sorry to say but it as less then I thought it to be. I thought that the whole cd was going to be great, I guess I was wrong. The Cd is okay but I feel there other albums are better. I would still recomend buying it but don't run to the store so fast.
This album rules, From the moment you pop it in to the last note it's pure great rock by some of the best. GET IT this is a must have its one of those albums where most songs are Extremely good and the rest is good enough to be there.
i absolutely love this cd i love the songs american idiot and boulevard of broken dreams totally worth ur money
In 2003, Green Day had an album ready for release, and it was some of their best since "Dookie". It was so good, in fact, that the master tapes were stolen. No tapes, no album. So the band went back to square one. Ironically, the theft of the tapes might have been the best thing that ever happened to them. Their next project was a rock opera. Yes, a rock opera. With piano, glockenspiel, key changes, and -- dare i say it -- PLOT TWISTS. The album pins the tail on the donkey when it comes to describing the post-9/11 angst and paranoia that we all have suffered from. It tells the story of a man coming of age, as Jesus of Suburbia goes from "Mary Jane to keep me insane/Doing someone else's cocaine" to "I got a kid in New York/I got a kid in the Bay/And I haven't smoked or drank a thing in a whole 22 days." It deals with suicide, love, and much much more. The album begins with the single/title track. Its good, solid, "Dookie"-like Green Day, but with political lyrics. The good news is that its probably the least good song on the album. And Green Day completely changes its tune for the whole album. The title track is the only one that sounds a thing like their older stuff -- and the change is just what they needed. The nine minute montages "Jesus of Suburbia" and "Homecoming" act as bookends to the story, both full of key changes, different instruments, and even different singers. "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" consists of shimmering guitars and piano and a perfect power chorus. "St. Jimmy" gives you a taste of the Ramones plus some actual Broadway song structure, and "Letterbomb" is the closest Green Day will come to sounding like the Ataris -- thank god they don't get to close. In fact, the Ataris should take notes. The acoustic/power ballad "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is an emo song, but its still awesome and fits right into the album. And the strong, majestic, voice-blending finale of "Whatsername" is often overlooked by reviews, but might be the best song on the album. The final word: You can't go wrong with "American Idiot." It is defintely the best album released since "Nevermind" -- yes, better than "Dookie" by far. And even if you can't like Green Day that much, you'll be awed at their change in tune, and believe me, you'll wish you had the cajones to do something like this.
i really enjoyed most of green day's cd's, except recently, they have been acting extremely sell-outish. this album is pretty good, but i dont like the way the songs go together, and the single "american idiot" becomes really annoying after a few listens.
Green Day is the best known punk rock opera in the world! There newest album called American Idiot is telling everyone that there actually "growing up" instead of still playing new versions of there 1994 songs "Longview" and "Basket Case". There top single of there new album is "American Idiot" (also the title). This song has lyrics such as "Dont want to be an american idiot. dont wanna nation under the new media and can you here the sound of hysteria the subliminal mind **** america." as there first course of the song. They are known of the fact that they are AGAINST bush and would like it if kerry won. There new album also is saying how there coming into the world Politics and coming out of the world of chilidish. They still are known to run around naked at concerts and DEFITLEY still will!
This new cd may be very differnt from what we Green Day fans are used to, but, its Green Day, so it shall kick some green a$$! Billie Joe is hot and have a green day!
Green day is so awesome!!!!! all the songs are awesome espically american idiot! keep up the good work
This CD is amazing. Some highlights are the punk opera Jesus of Surburbia and Saint Jimmy.
Come on, do I even need a review? This C.D is flat out the best. American Idiot is my favorite, but every other song is great!
THIS CD IS UNBELIEVABLE. It unleashes and new side of green day but still maintains the hard melodic tone that everyone loves. I was not let down by this cd. Every song had the sound of another amazing hit. BEST GREEN DAY CD YET. IF YOU HAVE 20 BUCKS WHAT ARE YOU STILL READING FOR GO OUT AND GET IT
After 4 years, Green Day has done it again. Give Me Novacaine and Jesus of Suburbia is great. Its great to have them back. This new sound it awesome.
Green Day is the best!!! This CD rocks on so many levels! Billie Joe is hot! OK... well... Buy the CD! If you don't you'll regret it!
Ok so this cd isnt exactally theyre old stuff its totally and completely different... but its INCREDIBLE... if you just listen to it its totally amazing the lyrics is awesome and the actual music is moving... if you think this is Green Day "selling out" you are WAY wrong
Just an amazing album. "Jesus of Suburbia" is just simply awesome. Great unity among all the songs on the record and it is thoroughly enjoyable. I can't wait for bn.com to put out the guitar tab book for this album!
This album sounds like theyve turned spiritual. The only true Green Day songs are American Idiot and Holiday. Im really dissapointed in this album.
This is the greatest Cd they have ever made! It may be a little slower than usual but it is still awesome! Jesus of Suburbia and Holiday are simply the best songs ever! If you want a cd you can listen to the whole way through, buy this one!
Instead of trying two write several hit songs like usual, this time Greenday made more of a story of the CD. Every song is different from the last and it's an amazing combination of songs. It is so perfect, I am actually going to go buy it!!!!
This c.d. is something new for Green Day, but still sooo good even if it's not quite the same as they were in the Dookie days. I love the fact that the guys aren't afraid to try anything new and the result was a phenomenal c.d. The best song on the album, in my opinion, was "Holiday." "Jesus of Suburbia" was a close second, and is something totally new for Green Day (a "rock opera," if you will.) There's about 7 or 8 other songs that I listen to nonstop, but every song on this c.d. truly is original and great. If you can cope with Green Day tapping into politics and having matured quite a bit, buy this c.d. You won't regret it.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips on combining external feeds with wordpress posts in one layout? By that I mean all in the same loop.
To explain further, I d like 1 page featuring my custom post types in WPress, Tumblr feed items and Tweets. They'd be listed together chronologically, but I'd style them up differently.
I'm keen to do this manually in a custom page template, not using a plug in or a third party site to filer the feeds. I can nail it with 3 separate loops, it's combining them that bamboozles me.
Can it be done?!
Thanks in advance...

本身就是一个伟大的小公寓,2人用一张好床。视图不是很大,但你不能指望该价格。巨大的损失,第二个舒适的椅子下面两个吧椅存在。 (应该很容易解决)相反的是该网站表示没有停车场!
Op zich een prima klein appartementje voor 2 pers met een lekker bed. uitzicht niet geweldig maar dat kun je voor die prijs niet verwachten. Groot gemis aan tweede lekkere stoel naast de 2 aanwezige barkrukken. ( moet makkelijk op te lossen zijn) in tegenstelling tot wat de site aangaf is er geen parkeerplaats aanwezig !
Verder heel centraal en dicht bij de tramlijn naar Vieux Nice. Alles goed bereikbaar per openbaar vervoer.
公寓不大,但超强功能和可爱,毗邻尼斯的主要街道,距离Place Massena广场和尼斯的旧城区有10分钟的步行路程,然后绝佳的位置!萨尔瓦托雷非常有益和美妙的逗留。我推荐它!
Appartamento piccolo ma super funzionale e carino, situato accanto alla via principale di Nizza e a 10 minuti a piedi da piazza Massena e Vecchia Nizza, quindi posizione fantastica! Salvatore molto disponibile e soggiorno fantastico. Lo raccomando!

Nice is a great city!!
The apartment was a fine place to stay; after 5 minutes walk you are at the beach, to the old town is a bit further to walk, but you can walk there and the supermarket is around the corner.
There are many buses in the city and also to and from the airport and the train station.
Salvatore is very helpful and kind person and he helped me with a few questions I had.
In the apartment was everything there that I needed during my stay and there was even a city map. Very useful!
I was only 1 houer in the "amazing sunny Appartment" and i leave the Appartment. I was disappointed about the Appartment. It was not sunny sorry to say that. On the pics looks good but not in real.
Everything went well. Nice, small, and tidy apartment in the center of Nice.
Get our keys at the agency office.
Salvatore is friendly and helps you with every difficulty you have with his appartements or in nice. I hope that every owner is like him.
All we could wish for! Very clean! :)
First of all Salvatore is not a private person, this is an agency which doesn't care if there are any problems. I would never recomend him as a host nor his flat. We had to go to the agency to pick up the keys but in the description of the flat at wimdu was written that we will meet at the flat. Also the stink of cat piss from the outside of the flat was so strong, that we couldn't sleep with an open window which was unbearable (it was really hot in Nice).There were also cockroaches in the flat. Last but not least we had no wifi for 2 days. We contacted the "cousin" and Salvatore (as he was our contact person) to take care about this problems and there were no reaction. Until the second complaint he came to the building to check what's wrong with the internet. Our problem with the cat piss stink wasn't resolved and therefore I will write a complaint letter to wimdu. Never again. It was the worst host & apartment & wimdu experience ever.
We had a great stay at the apartment! It was quiet, clean and we got very good informations about the city and trips we could do. Every time again!

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Video crews must hate this genre; by its own nature POV aces everyone else but the performers out of a job. Currently, the ubiquity of this material makes for tedious viewing. BLP is slightly better than average, for no particular reason other than it's basically a competent vid offering the porn equivalent of a veal dish: fresh, hot young meat. (Though unlike parmigiana, it comes adorned with rings and tattoos.)
Leah Wilde leaves an impression with her Cameron Diaz looks. First she blows bubbles and then she blows Dan. Not bad, as is the subsequent humping. In fact all of 'em are watchable - if taken in small doses. But for two-plus hours? Only the most volcanic fare can last that long without burning out the viewer.

ATLANTA (AP) - A Fulton County grand jury returned a 12-count
indictment against Lawanda Harkness, charging her with stealing
money orders intended to pay state tax obligations of six Georgia
The indictment announced Monday alleges that Harkness, an employee in the mailroom of the Georgia Department of Revenue in
2008, took money orders payable to the Department of Revenue and
altered them to change the payee to herself.
Harkness was indicted for six counts of theft by taking, each a felony punishable by one to 15 years imprisonment.
She's also charged with six counts of first degree forgery, a felony
punishable by one to 10 years imprisonment.

We were fortunate to be able to treat our guests last week to wonderful North Carolina weather -- 70s each day and lots and lots of sunshine. Since our guests were from Rochester, this was a bit of a treat! We were pretty busy but I didn't remember to bring my camera for the one day that I could take pictures!
However, I am back to my daily routine which of course includes my daily walk although it was a bit chilly and cloudy today. I was very surprised to see this Long Tailed Duck sitting on the little island on Carolina Beach Lake -- I haven't seen one out of the water before and he posed nicely for me before dropping his head to sleep some more.
This was a Kildeer which is a first for me down at the Lake although I have certainly seen them before.
The population of Lesser Scaups has certainly risen. Here are a male in front and two females. The Grebes are still there as well as the Buffleheads. Still none of the Northern Shovelers, Redheads or Wood Ducks have arrived.
I finally finished all the machine work on one of my favorite of the Serendipity quilts. I think it is quilted well enough to be in our quilt show next June (GVQC 2013 Quilt Festival at Rochester Institute of Technology). You can click on the link in the parentheses to see all the events -- it is easily as big as some of the regional shows with about 60 vendors.

Not a list we aspire to make
Different organizations regularly put out lists of cities that they think are the most livable, most environmental, best for kids or seniors or families.
And then there are the other lists, the mirror images of the ones above.
Daily Beast has a new list of the latter category. Brokest Cities in America.
And no, Spokane isn't on it. In fact there's only one city from Washington or Idaho on it.
So, see. Things could be worse.

Research Institution:
AbstractAdaptive Methods and Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State are developing a hierarchical inference approach for multi-modal unattended ground sensor (UGS) networks. that will enable significant performance gains via integrated machine learning techniques, to include In situ performance characterization and automated adaptation to site-specific environmental characteristics; unsupervised learning of activity patterns and establish a baseline for anomaly detection; flexible subject-matter expert knowledge capture and integration; and incorporation of historical and prototypical data sets. This is a multi-level fusion system distributed across sensor types and processing platforms. The deployment architecture takes advantage of specific physical characteristics and supports dynamic reconfiguration as nodes are lost or characteristics change. The architecture has four principle functional layers: (1) Level 1 Fusion layer which interfaces directly to single source sensors fusing them into a consistent view of entities are operating within the sensor field of regard; (2) Level 2 Fusion layer which evaluates the entity level picture characterizing the intent of those entities; (3) a prioritized data distribution system which insures that important information is shared in a timely fashion and (4) shared knowledge models used to organize, reason about and share information. A prototype demonstration, fusing recorded data, will be provided.

Pantai Kok
Everything you Need to Know about Pantai Kok
The beach along Pantai Kok is dominated by mostly high-end upscale resorts like the Sheraton and Tanjung Sanctuary. The beach is beautiful with clean sands and clear waters but it's the tourist attractions, as well as the relative peace and quiet, that makes this place so popular.
Lined with a thoroughly modern marina, Pantai Kok, on the western part of the island approximately 12km north of Pantai Cenang, fronts a beautiful bay surrounded by limestone hills and verdant jungle. On the waterfront, at Teluk Burau, is the spanking-new Telaga Harbour Park, a yachting marina with a string of shops, bars and restaurants, plus a petrol station, bank and post office. Additionally it has several recreational attractions including a cable-car ride to the peak of Mat Cincang Mountain and the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls.
Pantai Kok's relatively undisturbed locale as well as its verdant greenery makes it doubly popular – especially if you love nature or want a quieter holiday destination.

However I still have a couple of puzzles when working with the current CVS head and :mach-exception-handler + :sb-thread on Mac OS X 10.4.9 (Darwin 8.9.1): 0: How come I need to patch src/runtime/x86-darwin-os.c, essentially replacing x86_xxx_state32_yyy with i386_xxx_state_yyy? Do I have the wrong system headers? 1: Sometimes tests/run-tests.sh spuriously ends up in ldb> with an unexpected illegal instruction or an access violation on a non write- protected page. I managed to gdb an instance of the first case, and I was surprised to find the thread's EIP pointing to _sigtramp - which I suspect is part of the POSIX signal emulation layer that :mach- exception-handler was supposed to replace? 2: Having naively disabled "lose()" in two places, tests/run-tests.sh now apparently succeeds 3 out of 4 times, once reporting a failure in signals.impure.lisp.

Hi. Thanks for the plugin! It works great.
I was wondering if there was a way to hide Basic Settings, Map Controls, GEO Mashup, KML/GPX/Geo RSS, Map Marker Info Bubbles, Custom Overlays, and Panoramio Library from the Google Map Shortcode Builder on the post/page screen.
I use this plugin with a multi-author blog and the Shortcode Builder is far too complex for their needs. I would just like for them to be able to enter an address, choose a marker, and insert the shortcode into the editor.

In our codebase I write many things that, for testing, depends on the image Im loading have alpha. Usually, I make all my own testimages/programmers-art in MsPaint. But every time I need an image with alpha, I have to go and disturb one of our artists. (Or start the loading of GIMP and go for a coffee break.)
So Im looking for alternatives, as quick and simple as MsPaint but which has alpha support. I tried GIMP but the time it takes to load that behemoth makes it not an option.
Is there no software in the middle grounds between mspaint and gimp? From the looks of my googling and searching through wikipedia, most raster graphics editors aim to be a Photoshop alternative.

Very good, i recommend. One should be aware that if you deactivate plugin you should also manually clear cache (public_html/wp-content/plugins/flexicache/_data/_storage/sitename) if your site is big it can stay there and eat disk space.
Highly recommended.
I've used the likes of W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache and others that pop up from time to time. FlexiCache offers the greatest flexibility when it comes to page caching which is what I only need personally. You've got "Expiry", "No-Store" and "No-Serve" options structured so neatly and efficiently that you could manage to accomplish almost any condition you would need.
Although there are issues of which some are critical that I just recently became aware of. I'm not sure if these are caused by recent changes from WP updates since the plugin's last update. Or maybe it's supposed to work that way and that there's a good explanation that I'm not aware of. Issue with v18.104.22.168: Posts do not expire when new comments are posted.
Thanks for the brilliant plugin.
I just did a plain vanilla WordPress 3.5 installation on my valued shared hosting provider's server cluster.
As I have Memcache available, which is a pretty darn cool thing on shared hosting anyways, I thought I give FlexiCache a try.
Now I was a bit sceptical, because my hosting provider uses some non-standard ports and private IP addresses.
No problem for FlexiCache, as this puppy has user configurable settings pages allowing you to set the required parameters and then some.
And to top it off, FlexiCache has an unique standalone mode, enabling serving cached pages straight from it's cache without even going thru WP.
You need to be able to modify your .htaccess file for this, but most hosting providers will let you. And even better, FlexiCache does it automatically for you by pressing a button.
This little gem gets 5 stars from me.
Only 5, as they won't let me give 10.

Is there a way to override the entire body fonts?

For many Americans, Christmas is one of the most joyous times of the year. It's a time for families and friends to gather together, and for many Christians it is one of the holiest days of the year.
White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf: Christmas images and stories have themselves, in a variety of ways, become part and parcel of American culture. Local businesses value Christmas not only because of the spirit of the season, but because it contributes to the busiest and most profitable shopping time of the year. Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge's counting house in 19th century London, American stores, businesses, museums, and government offices are typically closed on December 25th. Even the ACLU closes on Christmas! [For an ACLU expression of Christmas cheer, read this USA Today op-ed.]
In recent years, culturally conservative commentators have declared that there is a so-called "war on Christmas," and in many cases have claimed that the ACLU is leading the charge. This simply isn't true.
Religious expression is a valued and protected part of the First Amendment rights guaranteed to us all. Christmas is pervasive in America, and, except when the government is being used to promote religious beliefs, it is entirely constitutional.
While Christmas displays are being placed in front of homes, churches, and businesses across the country, and as carolers go door-to-door with songs of Christmas cheer, these culture warriors say that Christmas is being removed from all public mention and persist with such declarations about a "war on Christmas."
The constitutional rights of people to worship, preach, sing carols, and celebrate Christmas in their churches and with their families and friends — whether in public or in private — is well-protected. The ACLU itself has advocated on behalf of people who want to celebrate Christmas. The real question is not whether people can celebrate Christmas (they most certainly can), but whether the government should be promoting religious beliefs and practices (it most certainly shouldn't).
When the smoke of battle clears, Christmas is completely safe.

Hi all
Basically I want to use the categories like a website archives section.
It kind of works with the default widget but it wont let me change the word "navigation" to "archives" and when you click on a category it shows you whole posts, is there anyway for it to just show post titles so more fit on a page? (like it does on search)
hope that makes sense check out http://www.chrissayburn.com to see what I mean
Thanks for your time.

This happens in both gnome and Ubuntu. I can log in just fine. But nothing loads. All I see is my background. This happend after I was trying to get my dual screens configured correctly.
As a temporary solution, try creating a new user account and logging in from there, or log in to a Guest session. Those problems are usually associated with broken configuration files in your home folder, so a new user account should load just fine.

I have been using WordPress 3.0 for abit now and when I logged in today suddenly all my categories and tags has disappeared from my posts. The same as happened to all links as they suddenly lost what categories they was in.
When I check Categories however they are still there and showing they are still in use but the posts do not have them assigned. Please do tell me if this is an easy fix as I do not really want to spend ages going back or fixing them one by one and really do not want to have to use a backup.

Did you know you can make a cake with MAYONNAISE!? It's true!
Here's the recipe from texascooking.com:
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Rich and moist, this old favorite can be slimmed down by using reduced calorie mayonnaise, although the final result won't be quite as moist.
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cocoa, firmly packed
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1-1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.
In a small bowl, pour the boiling water over the cocoa, and stir until smooth. Set aside.
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the mayonnaise and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla and cocoa mixture, beating until incorporated.
With mixer at low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until batter is combined.
Pour batter into prepared pans, and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
I'm going to make one tonight. I'll post photos for you tomorrow. I'll also force my co-workers to eat it and post their reviews as well. You can't make a cake with Belle and Sebastian.

A 349-unit apartment project in Pomona that had been under construction for 14 months has been completed, according to a release from builder Wermers Multi-Family Corp. of San Diego.
Monterey Station, as the property is called, is a four-story multifamily apartment project offering loft, studio, and one- to two-bedroom apartments, as well as live/work units. According to Wermers, it's a "complete and accessible apartment complex that will enhance Pomona's local community."
The development includes four elevators, a pool and spa, a recreation room, fire pits, covered parking and modern European-style cabinetry. Beyond the project walls, the apartments are near entertainment and dining locations, and near access points to the Metrolink and Amtrak stations.
Each apartment unit features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, Wermers noted, as well as in-home washers and dryers, walk-in closets, central heating and air conditioning and either a private patio or balcony.
Common areas include a resort pool and deck area, a club room, and what Wermer's calls a "top-tier" fitness center. Units range in size from 384-square-foot and 401-square-foot studios to a 1,075-square-foot, two-bedroom unit.

Will Indiana Nullify Federal Gun Laws?
The Indiana legislature will consider a bill that would nullify a considerable amount of assumed federal power over firearms – the Firearms Freedom Act.
Senate Bill 130 (SB0130) provides that, "a firearm, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in Indiana…and remains within the borders of Indiana; is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of the United States Congress to regulate interstate commerce."
The bill was filed by Senator Dennis Kruse
The bill rests on the foundation of the Tenth Amendment, correctly asserting that powers not delegated are retained.Details

News The Supermajority Democrats Strike Again
posted by December 21 at 11:03 AMon
So, who did the supermajority Democrats appoint to head up the state House Agriculture and Natural Resources committeethe committee that's central to drafting state environmental policies that affect water, watershed planning, timber, mining, and fish and wildlife?
Answer, an environmental conservative from logging country, of course. The new chair is Rep. Brian Blake (D-19, Aberdeen) who gets a C from the local Sierra club's Cascade chapter. Blake voted, for example, against a bill to up biodiesel use.
"Brian Blake, in the past, has not had environmental issues as a priority and he has been hard to convince," Clifford Traisman, state lobbyist for Washington Conservation Voters, says diplomatically.
Blake is replacing Brian Sullivan (D-21, Mukilteo) whos leaving the legislature for a spot on the Snohomish County Council. Sullivan rated an A+ from the Sierra Club.
Silver-Lining UPDATE
Brand new Rep. Sharon Nelson (D-34)appointed to fill now-state-Senator Joe McDermott's seatwas assigned to Ag & Natural Resources. Nelson, an environmental warrior who was appointed by her district based on her record of fighting to save Maury Island from strip mining, will be a pain in Blake's ass.
I've linked all the committee reassignments for the 2008 House Democrats below the jump.

Currently, the Bolyai Institute is undergoing major changes in the
educational system: the former 10 semester programmes are gradually
replaced by the 3-level system of the Bologna Process. As a first step
in this direction, the Mathematics Bachelor programme was started in
the Bolyai Institute in September 2006.
Study programmes in the Bologna System
Bachelor of Mathematics: The purpose of this 6 semester programme is to give a firm background in the mathematical sciences with special emphasis on areas necessary to pursue studies in applied mathematics and the teaching of mathematics. Students completing the programme receive a Bachelor degree in Mathematics. Traditionally, a mathematics degree is valued highly by a large variety of employers and thus its holder has a good chance of finding employment soon after graduation. Those who wish to study further may enter a Master's programme or enroll in a special training programme in banking, finance, accounting or small business management.
After the first 2 semesters of the Bachelor programme, students may choose from three specializations: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Teaching of Mathematics. These special directions of study prepare students for the entrance to the Mathematics MSc programmes. Choosing a specialization is not compulsory, however, it increases the chance of admittance to the Master programme. To help gifted students, some of the Bachelor programme courses are also available at the honours level.
Master Programmes in Mathematics: The Bolyai Institute is currently planning to start three Master programmes from September 2009: Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and High School Teacher of Mathematics. These programmes will give a degree equivalent to the former 10 semester programmes continuing the long tradition of high quality instruction of advanced mathematics in the Bolyai Institute.
Study programmes in the 10 semester system
The former 10 semester programmes currently co-exist with the Mathematics Bachelor programme; they are being phased out gradually.
High School Teacher of Mathematics: The purpose of this 10 semester progamme is to train mathematics teachers who are well-prepared to explain and demonstrate the basic mathematical ideas and laws that appear in nature, engeneering, and society. Furthermore, they acquire a solid high quality knowledge of mathematics, and undergo a comprehensive theoretical and practical training in the teaching of mathematics.
Mathematics major: The purpose of this 10 semester programme is to train mathematicians who, on the one hand posess high quality theoretical knowledge of mathematics and thus are capable of working in the mathematical sciences, on the other hand are able to apply their knowledge in engineering, business, and statistics.
Applied Mathematics major: The purpose of this 10 semester programme is to train applied mathematicians who are capable of working efficiently in industry or in an interdisciplinary environment. During this program students gather knowledge in engineering mathematics, business, economics and in operations research. They become well-acquainted with the applications of modern mathematical methods and learn to recognize new problems in their fields of work. Furthermore, they become proficient in using computers, and learn to collaborate with engineers, economists, and scientists in solving economical and engineering problems.
Doctoral Programme in Mathematics: The doctoral (PhD) programme was started in 1993 at the Bolyai Institute among the first ones in Hungary. The purpose of this programme is to provide students deep and up-to-date knowledge of a mathematical discipline and enable them to pursue independent research in the mathematical sciences. The programme is based on a three year study period when students are required both to take advanced level graduate courses in mathematics and pursue research in their chosen special area. Doctoral students may choose from four major directions of study: Algebra, Analysis, Dinamical Systems and Stochastics, and Geometry and Combinatorics. At the end of the programme, students are required to take a final oral examination and write and defend a doctoral dissertation which contains original research.

A Colossal Wreck: A Road Trip Through Political Scandal, Corruption and American Cultureby Alexander Cockburn
View All Available Formats & Editions
Alexander Cockburn was without question one of the most influential journalists of his generation, whose writing stems from the best tradition of Mark Twain, H.L. Menchken and Tom Paine. Colossal Wreck, his final work, finished shortly before his death in July 2012, exemplifies the prodigious literary brio that made Cockburn's name.
Alexander Cockburn was without question one of the most influential journalists of his generation, whose writing stems from the best tradition of Mark Twain, H.L. Menchken and Tom Paine. Colossal Wreck, his final work, finished shortly before his death in July 2012, exemplifies the prodigious literary brio that made Cockburn's name.
Whether ruthlessly exposing Beltway hypocrisy, pricking the pomposity of those in power, or tirelessly defending the rights of the oppressed, Cockburn never pulled his punches and always landed a blow where it mattered. In this panoramic work, covering nearly two decades of American culture and politics, he explores subjects as varied as the sex life of Bill Clinton and the best way to cook wild turkey. He stands up for the rights of prisoners on death row and exposes the chicanery of the media and the duplicity of the political elite. As he pursues a serpentine path through the nation, he charts the fortunes of friends, famous relatives, and sworn enemies alike to hilarious effect.
This is a thrilling trip through the reefs and shoals of politics and everyday life. Combining a passion for the places, the food and the people he encountered on dozens of cross-country journeys, Cockburn reports back over seventeen years of tumultuous change among what he affectionately called the "thousand landscapes" of the United States.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
"It's alive on every page, this thing; its feisty sentences wriggle … A Colossal Wreck will have a long life among those who care about the crackling deployment of the English language, partly because Mr. Cockburn had such a wide-ranging mind ... His book is a stay against boredom." – Dwight Garner, New York Times
"A Colossal Wreck provides ample evidence for Cockburn's standing as one of the left's most perceptive and entertaining commentators."—The Guardian
"Alex struck American journalism like lightning."—Michael Tomasky, Daily Beast
"Always surprising, outrageous, brilliant and yet strangely compassionate. He weaves together the public and the private with a sustained comic ingenuity that is matchless."—Edward Said
"Alexander Cockburn set a high standard of crusading journalism for fifty years … With his Wildean wit, love of elegant women, penchant for hunting and fondness for P. G. Wodehouse, Cockburn defied the stereotype of the disgruntled left-wing scribe."—The Independent
"Cockburn essentially pioneered the modern persona for which Christopher
Hitchens became much better known: the fancily Oxford-educated leftie Brit littérateur/journalist who would say all the outrageous things his bland Yank counterparts lacked the wit, courage, erudition, or épater -spirit to utter on their own … Cockburn was far more committed and purposeful in his outrageousness."—The Atlantic
By the time Anglo-Irish journalist Cockburn (coeditor, CounterPunch magazine) died in 2012, he was widely considered one of America's best radical journalists (a longtime U.S. resident, he became a citizen in 2009). Once described in a New York Times review as a "Marxist Mencken," Cockburn possessed both wicked humor and deadly aim, whether in his muckraking of the CIA or the press or in his political criticism of our presidents, politics, or foreign policy. He could, at the same time, write delightful sketches on horse racing, Thanksgiving, and Louisiana back roads. This book is arranged like a journal, with brief dated entries spanning from 1995 to 2012, and so serving as a continuation of his earlier The Golden Age Is in Us, which left off in 1994. While many entries are borrowings from his published journalism, there's a good deal of personal material here as well, along with contrarian views certain to affront all points along our usual left-right spectrum, whether about gun shows, global warming, Iraq, Israel, police funerals, Ron Paul, Hillary Clinton, or Rupert Murdoch. VERDICT Readers who know Cockburn will need no reviewer's verdict, and those who do not, whether they agree or disagree page by page, will likely relish the book as a demonstration of masterly prose in service of an encompassing spirit.—Robert Nardini, Niagara Falls, NY
The personal and political chronicle of the witty, eloquent liberal scourge who never let left or right get in his way. The late journalist Cockburn (Guillotined: Being a Summary Broadside Against the Corruption of the English Language, 2012, etc.), who died in 2012, was a rare bird in the opinion business: unpredictable yet consistent in his approach to power. Whether writing for the Nation, Village Voice or the newsletter CounterPunch (which he co-founded), he was always the proud son of a family where Marxism was the dominant faith, authority was the enemy, and revolt was the answer. He found Barack Obama "slithery" as a candidate and hopeless as president. He held Rupert Murdoch and the New York Times in equal contempt and regarded Christopher Hitchens as a publicity hound. He was no respecter of party platforms, hating in more or less equal measures the Iraq War, vegetarianism, gun control, abortion, the whole idea of global warming and any police officer who gave him a ticket. He didn't mind taking sides when he had to and happily helped destroy the re-election campaign of South Dakota Republican Sen. Larry Pressler. ("I am responsible for the Democratic majority in the Senate," he later crowed. "Take that, you work-within-the-system types!") He found common ground with anyone who fights the power, including Julian Assange, Ron Paul, and the tea party and Occupy movements. Cockburn loved America but thought it fascist; the killing of Osama bin Laden was an act of "brute, lawless, lethal force." He could get sentimental about the death of old friends but kept mum about his own approaching demise. Instead, he went out in typical style, railing against the military-industrial complex. A fine trip through a rambunctious, productive, provocative and well-lived life.

The list of midfield targets seems to be getting dangerously small. Maybe Arsene Wenger is perfectly clear in his own mind about who he wants to join the Arsenal squad. I would like to see some positive action, however, before the options all evaporate.

Which midfielder should Arsenal sign?
Arsenal's midfield movements by BA
I am sick of talking or even thinking about strikers coming or going at Arsenal so I am going to have a look at the midfield and what is happening at the minute. I am also going to be optimistic and assume that Theo Walcott will stay and we will have plenty of attacking midfield quality.
Arsenal News and Rumours – Doumbia, Lloris, Kalou, and (yes!) Van Persie!
Morning News And Rumours – by JG
Well the press are having a field day with all of the Van Persie chaos. I think the media (just like most topics) are running it into the ground and pounding it into our eyes and ears so much that I really don't want to discuss it anymore. Let's not forget ourselves and get back to reality (and retain our sanity).
Seydou Doumbia keen on move to Champions League team
Arsenal target Seydou Doumbia has made it evident that his current season at CSKA Moscow is almost certain to be his last as the Ivory Coast international goes looking for Champions League football.
Arsenal look to the East for their latest targets
Arsene Wenger's famous eye for talent has seemingly spread all the way to the far reaches of Eastern Europe with Arsenal be linked with some fine new attacking talents in Russia and Ukraine. The men in the spotlight are CSKA Moscow striker Seydou Doumbia and Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Arsenal and Chelsea fighting over prolific CSKA Moscow striker
After having been linked with a move to Chelsea all summer, Ivorian striker Seydou Doumbia has suddenly attracted interest from a different part of London, with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger rumoured to be interested in signing the 24-year old.
Arsenal chasing prolific Ivorian striker
At 23 years old Seydou Doumbia managed to impress many big clubs around the world with his skill and his very acute sense of goal.
