Rev. Irene Monroe: McClurkin, a three-time Grammy winner and revered judge on BET's "Sunday Best," a reality TV-gospel singing competition show, doesn't get it that he's a polarizing figure.
The Queer Politics of Writing on Race
Rev. Irene Monroe: Civil rights struggles in this country, unfortunately, have primarily been understood and demonstrated as tribal and unconnected rather than intersectional and interdependent.
A Perceptually Progressive Pope
Rev. Irene Monroe: Pope Francis' remarks are still sending global shock waves. And they are the most LGBTQ affirmative remarks the world has ever heard.
Matthew Shepard and Trayvon Martin: Bigotry Knows No Boundaries
Rev. Irene Monroe: A young man has become the symbol of the horrific result of such stereotyping, and is fast becoming the symbol for a movement. Just as Matthew Shepard's death galvanized a nation, Trayvon Martin's death is doing the same.
Black, Gay, and Living in a Voting Rights, NO! Gay Marriage, YES! World
Irene Monroe: Many note how far the LGBTQ community has traveled—from a disenfranchised group on the fringe of America's mainstream to a community now on the verge of full equality. But not all members of our community have crossed the finish line.
Rattled with PTSD: Post Traumatic Snake Disorder
Irene Monroe: In our first and never again face-to-face encounter, the boa poked its head up greeting me with a hiss, and I responded with a blood-curdling scream.
Who Can Trust an Ex-Gay Apology?
Rev. Irene Monroe: With more and more ex-gay ministries not only losing potential clients and political leverage, but also losing monies reparative therapies generate, there is a gradually shift from "curing" one's LGBTQ sexual orientation to abstinence from it.
Black Pride: Distinct and Emblematic
Irene Monroe: Mainstream Prides have themes focused on marriage equality for the larger community where Prides organized by and for LGBTQ people of African descent have focused not only on HIV/AIDS but also unemployment, housing, gang violence, and LGBTQ youth homelessness.
Remembering Sakia Gunn: Keeping News Coverage on the Down Low
Rev. Irene Monroe: Not enough is ever accurately reported about hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people of color, and how issues of race, gender identity, and sexual orientation trigger the type of violence against them. Nor are the reasons for the silence around such violence often explored.
When Homophobia Trumps Misogyny
Irene Monroe: Joyner points to the ongoing struggle in the African American community with its unresolved homophobia and misogyny that falls on the backs of its women and LGBTQ population, pitting one disenfranchised group against another.
What Niall Ferguson's Attack on John Maynard Keynes Has Wrought
Irene Monroe: While Ferguson's gay-bashing of Keynesian economics was to discredit Keynes and his entire body of work, it has rather done the reverse, bringing renewed international attention to a renown economist and to another one of our LGBTQ unsung forebearers.
Jason Collins: The Great Black Hope
Rev. Irene Monroe: In a sports world that has become overwhelming shaped by African American male players and masculinity, Collins coming out celebration has everything to do with timing, gender, race and many more straight brothers embracing their gay brethren.
Will Boston Marathon Bombing Ignite Islamophobia?
Rev. Irene Monroe: Immediately following the Boston bombing, several "Muslim-looking" suspects were apprehended to the chagrin of law enforcement that later released them and offered an apology. Not much has changed since September 11, 2001.

Hi, I have a "Special Recent Posts" plugin that shows recent posts with a small thumbnail, I've recently noticed on any posts that had got it's image via this plugin, sometimes shows wrong thumbnail now on Special Recent Posts.
I had a look in my media library and the Thumbnails are only getting uploaded as 01.jpg etc, which I think is where the problem is.
Is there anything I can change so the Thumbnails get uploaded with a bit of the youtube name in or something like that? Would be a lot neater way of saving the files anyway, despite the plugin conflict.

who are trying to go vegan with me but aren't sure.And I was wanting to have a movie night with them,Know any really good animals rights movies/documentaries
That I can watch with them for the occasion?I think if they can watch movies about

@cannablissfully I've seen Earthlings (informative and graphic about how animals are treated) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (fictional movie about animals used for experiments). I also saw Vegucated on Netflix: "In this documentary, three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers agree to adopt a vegan diet for six weeks. Lured with true tales of weight lost and health regained, they begin to uncover the hidden sides of animal agriculture."
Here's a list of movies from peta2:

Thank you! Vegucated sounds like a cool movie I like the name of it lol,
I am totally gonna watch that one with my buddies! I already watched earthlings with them,one of my friends didn't wanna keep watching it and begged me to please turn it off it was too sad.. So I had to for her sake. But she is now seriously wanting to go vegan too now so I am happy about that!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

The most obvious one is 'Earthlings' but it's not easy to watch.
'Fast Food Nation' is more like a traditional film (ie. it has a storyline, it's not a documentary) but with a good message inside it about the meat industry.
If you like animation films and want to discuss animal experimentation then I recommend 'The Plague Dogs', it's old but still great.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
Thank you 🙂 That's helpful.
I also found a list of other good films
by looking around myself,so we'll have
plenty to watch to educate. Earthlings sounds
like a really good choice too.Sometimes we need
to see how real the animals suffering really is,Before we make the
choice to avoid eating meat or wearing fur or any other means of
promoting their suffering.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

So you're interested in the Nook eReader? What should you know about it, as an author. How do you publish to the Nook, what is the payment structure like? Read on to answer these questions and more.Premium Resources Free For Subscribers
Children's author Peggy Thomas discusses the impact that e-readers will have on writers and marketing of the end product.
Great stories are populated with great characters. Book with three dimensional characters fly off the shelves, are placed on e-reader wish lists, and are bought on the first day they are released. You want to take time to extensively develop your characters, but how do you start?
If you can tweet it in 140 characters, you can say it on camera in 15 seconds. That's the concept behind Viddy, a great tool that authors can use to introduce themselves to new audiences. Creative authors are also using Storify to create robust, reader-friendly posts that can include plot descriptions, blog posts, videos, photos, and more. Both tools are free and, though they weren't created for authors, provide exciting new vehicles through which writers can connect with readers. This webinar will cover the fundamentals, plus suggest techniques tailored for self-published authors.
Robert Dugoni, New York Times Bestselling author of legal thrillers, describes what readers and publishers expect of Thriller books. He discusses story pacing, writing a series versus a single book, and the number of books expected each year.
Indie author and BookExpo America correspondent, Steve Piacente, walked away from New York City and the largest book industry trade show in North America feeling pretty good. The mood was positive, and there was plenty of room for both independently and traditionally published authors. He sees the Indie rebellion gaining momentum because technology has enabled self-published authors to reach directly to prospective readers with no agents or established publishing houses in between. Authors are taking advantage, and some are breaking through. BEA itself has recognized this and catered to the movement. Check out this article for some of the key take-aways from BEA 2012.
In this webinar, Steve Piacente will cover the fundamentals of Viddy and Storify - tools you can use to introduce your book to new audiences - plus he'll suggest techniques tailored for self-published authors.

And today's last word in business is, fly like an eagle. Maybe you've seen this viral video. It's of a golden eagle swooping down and snatching up a baby in a park. The bird carries the kid a few feet before dropping him and flying away.
It caused quite a stir online - horrifying many, many viewers before it was revealed as a hoax. The video was a project made by students at a 3-D animation and design school in Montreal.
INSKEEP: Now, when the school realized the eagle clip - the fake eagle clip, we should remind you - was going viral, it activated an AdSense account on YouTube. This causes ads to appear when people play the clip on YouTube, and gives the school money every time somebody watches.
MONTAGNE: Very smart thing for the school to do because more than 41 million people turned out to have watched the video...
INSKEEP: But that's hardly anything, compared to "Gangnam Style."
MONTAGNE: (LAUGHTER) But still...
INSKEEP: Please, continue.
MONTAGNE: But still, the school says it made enough money off the ads to start up a new scholarship fund. And that's the business news on MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
INSKEEP: And I'm Steve Inskeep.
STEVE MILLER BAND: (Singing) ...to the sea. Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me. I want to fly like an eagle till I'm free. Oh, Lord, through the revolution. Feed the babies...

"I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be. Was I always going to be here? No I was not. I was going to be homeless at one time, a taxi driver, truck driver, or any kind of job that would get me a crust of bread. You never know what's going to happen."

Beatles fans have had an embarrassment of riches competing for their entertainment dollars over the past few months thanks to the 50th anniversary of the Fab Four invading (and conquering) America in 1964 — special magazines (People), a TV concert ("The Night That Changed America"), books ("The Beatles Anthology"), DVDs ("A Hard Day's Night" reissue) and CDs ("On Air — Live at the BBC, Volume 2"). Not to mention myriad online offerings.
It's hard to believe all of the cultural shifts the Beatles led from the mid-1960s through the end of the decade, a scant six years or so. And then the Beatles were no more. The breakup was announced in April 1970, around the time "Let it Be," the last official Beatles album, was released.
And it's fair to say that in the ensuing 50 years, Beatlemaniacs (forgive me for using a term as worn out as "Trekkies") have been oversaturated with all things John, Paul, George and Ringo — collectively and individually.
Is there really anything else to add? Is there something we don't know?
Probably not. But that doesn't keep "new" stuff from filling the shelves every other week.
The latest is "I'm Not the Beatles: The John & Yoko Interviews with Howard Smith, 1969-1972," an eight-audio CD set of unfiltered, unedited, freewheeling chats between rock journalist Smith and Lennon and Ono during five radio interviews taped between May 1969 and January 1972. A 20-page booklet helps put it all into perspective. (There is some coarse language.)
These are post-Beatles interviews, and nothing is particularly revelatory, but Lennon and Ono do talk about the Beatles, from specific songs and what they meant, to the hazards of the touring lifestyle, to Lennon's feelings about subsequent solo projects, both his own and those of the other guys.
Casual fans might prefer something edited, so that, say, all the comments about the Beatles were cobbled together. But die-hard fans will enjoy the wide-ranging discussions from Lennon and Ono's various peace protests (bed-ins, the peace vote) to their fad diets (brown rice, vegetarianism) to the experimental, avant-garde art exhibits and eccentric films.
And there's something appealing about the shaggy-dog inclusion of every inch of tape that makes you feel as if you're in the room with them while microphones are being set up, and a bit of small talk precedes and closes out the interviews, and tape reels are changed, and as they react to interruptions or pause to eat something.
Lennon's playful side surfaces when a doorbell rings and he says, "Cuckoo, cuckoo, Avon calling," and as he casually comments on a shrimp plate he's enjoying (do vegetarians eat shrimp?).
An unexpected aspect of "I'm Not the Beatles" is Smith challenging Lennon and Ono when they say or do something he thinks is off kilter. Several times, Smith asks what, in practical terms, has resulted from their peace protests. Still, their enthusiasm for the movement is unbridled as Lennon says, "We're selling this peace thing like soap."
Lennon has unhappy recollections of the Beatles' four years of touring the world: "Touring was a drag," he says. "It was just complete, like, madness from morning till night, with not one moment's peace." He adds, "Of course, there were great moments, you know, and whenever we talk about it, it's all great laughs. But when you get down to the physical reality, it was all pain." He also felt the music suffered. "Half the time we just mime on the mic because your voice had gone, the kids would be howling."

Fishsticks Designs offers sewing patterns for unique and modern clothing that is always practical for you and your family. Fishsticks Designs was born from my desire to not only sew clothing for my own children but also to teach other moms (and grandmas, and aunts, and maybe even a few dads) to do the same. Each of my patterns includes step-by-step instructions with words and pictures so that you can read and see what to do next. It's almost like sitting in my sewing room with me. It's at least the closest that I can get without you stopping by for a visit.
I'm blessed to be mom to six children, two girls and four boys. Because my youngest three are boys and they're the ones I sew for the most, I tend to focus my designing on patterns that work great for boys. I also enjoy creating patterns with an incredible amount of versatility so that you can become comfortable with a pattern and go back to it again and again without your end products looking exactly the same. I want you to be able to build a whole wardrobe for your child from just a few patterns.
I begin each pattern with a hand-drawn design and work to get the fit just right for my little ones. Then I transfer my hand-drawn design the computer and create a digital design which is then graded up and down to each of the sizes included with the pattern. Once the pattern is ready, I call on my skilled testers to test out the pattern, instructions and sizing.
My end goal is to give you a great-fitting, easy-to-follow pattern each time!
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28
Cuddle up with Mommy or Daddy in this comfortable lounge set for a lazy day of pattycake and Peek-a-boo. The Lazy Days Lounge Set is sewn with cotton knit fabrics and offers a choice of board shorts or long pants coupled with a v-neck short-sleeve top
The criss-cross v-neck gives the top some modern style and makes for quick and easy changes . . . especially for those independent toddlers learning to dress themselves.
The elastic waist pants go together in a flash and fit well over cloth or disposable diapers and undies, too.

Vena Cava Springs Forward to Fall and More
With the buildup to Fashion Week nearing an end, it is hard to believe any designer has had time to look past the close of shows on Sept. 16. But Vena Cava designers Sophie Buhai and Lisa Mayock are an exception. The young designers decided to take a break from the craze of creating their spring collection to work on the next season, fall 2011.
That's right—they're already getting a head start on the next round of shows. The duo left their Soho studio Wednesday morning to scour fabrics at the Trend Selection New York leather fair at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Chelsea.
So why the sudden timeout? "We're designing our first bag collection for fall," said Ms. Buhai, 29, wearing an olive Zara blazer, Levis and a bodysuit found on eBay.
"They're going to be mostly structured pieces in the $700 price range," added Ms. Mayock, 28, decked head to toe in vintage. "There's nothing else out there at that price point except for Alexander Wang. We're also doing some small leather goods like wallets and evening bag type styles."
It's all apart of what Ms. Buhai calls the "Vena Cava lifestyle empire" that she hopes will eventually include "flagships, posters, websites and movies."
The pair, known for their hip prints and dresses with a worldly feel, met in Los Angeles the summer before they started their freshman year at Parsons The New School for Design. After spending four years together in college, Ms. Buhai and Ms. Mayock designed their first collection for the spring 2004 season after not being accepted into the Parsons' final runway show their senior year.
But while temporarily envisioning the future and revisiting the past, Ms Buhai reminds herself that their spring show is at Milk Studios on Sept. 9. "It's scary to be doing this now because we're very behind," she said. Time is clearly a ticking.
However, there has got to be time to eat. The partners, who have model-worthy looks and who have been nominated twice for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund, make a quick stop at City Bakery to nosh on collard greens and roasted chicken. "We have like, maybe a quarter of the [spring] collection done." said Ms. Mayock. "We have only received a third of the [completed] pieces, so we're not sure what the other part of the collection is going to look like."
Their inspiration, though, came from the 1980s Italian design movement, Memphis, which showcased colorful and radical shapes in contrast to the dark design shades that dominated the 1970s.
"We were really drawn to it because of its simple geometric shapes and use of interesting color blocking. I think the clothes really reflect that. It's like an eccentric minimalism with a strong pop," described Ms. Buhai.
The line, which includes Vena Cava's signature easy dresses, also has a more "sportswear" feel according to Ms. Mayock. Editors and retailers can look forward to a show that features structured blazers, pants and overalls set against a Memphis furniture piece. For all the work that Ms. Buhai and Ms. Mayock are doing, it's hard to believe that they are such close friends outside of their business.
"Being a designer is so selfish and about what you want and what you think, so it's nice to have a friend who can pull you out of that and say 'You know what, that's really weird,'" giggled Ms. Mayock.
"We schedule 'friend time,'" Ms. Buhai joked, "Last time, we took this walk on the beach and went to the spa. I made Lisa pot roast. No, really I think we got some drinks and went for pizza."
Laughs aside, the twosome decided it was time to go back to work. Before they left the restaurant, dessert was in order as their final treat of the day. "Let's get a chocolate chip cookie," said Ms. Mayock.
They decided on just one delight, sharing it as they jumped into a cab—the way friends do.

Patient Comments: Dengue Fever - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with dengue fever. What prevention steps did you take?
Comment from: Simone, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 02
I didn't realize I had dengue fever, so testing and diagnosis was a couple of weeks after I got back from Vanuatu. For a couple of weeks I had terrible headaches, severe sweating and was just aching all over - exhausted. I thought I was going through early menopause and after going to the doctors and having blood tests, that's what the doctor confirmed. But a week later I got a call to say it was dengue fever (the blood test takes longer for that). I never took my temperature so can't relate to that and I never got a rash. I had no stomach or bowel problems either. The sweating and headaches stopped but I have terrible joint pain that is mainly in my hips and feels like it runs down my bones in my legs. I have some back aches as well. It has been nearly 3 months since arriving home from Vanuatu but I still have joint pain and exhaustion from time to time.
Comment from: Johnmc, 75 or over Male (Patient) Published: December 05
I am 82 years of age and in 1953 I was an RAF physical training instructor stationed at Changi, Singapore. I am not exactly sure what happened but I must have passed out, for the next thing I remember was waking up in bed in my room with piles of blankets on me. When the medical officer came to see me he informed me I had dengue fever. I had a raging fever and looking back, piling blankets on me was totally inappropriate particularly in a tropical climate. To be fair they were probably unaware of ice baths in those days. Now, throughout my life, in spite of my high level of fitness, I have suffered with debilitating fatigue and it is only recently that I have read that CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) can be triggered by dengue fever. Furthermore, I have another health problem; Paget's disease which I am convinced may also have been caused by dengue as there is no other time that I have had such a fever and I believe it is caused by fever.
Comment from: Afsy, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 25
I recently had a severe dengue attack and was in the hospital for about 10 days. It all started with high grade fever, loss of appetite, body pain and severe dizziness. I ignored it as the regular viral fever and sat on it for 3 days. I experienced (4th day) that all of the above symptoms were turning worse and unbearable. The pain, now excruciating, moved to the eye orbit and there were rashes. I couldn't stay upright. So I dragged myself out of bed and went for a blood test. There I was, a victim of the deadly dengue mosquito. But I got the right treatment and now am back to work, though fatigue, pain, light headedness and breathlessness remain a major area of problem. The doctor says, it'll take time to settle. I trust him.
Comment from: Gavin, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: November 07
One morning I woke up with what felt like the world's worst hangover, I thought that I might just be dehydrated as it is very hot and humid where I live. However within 3 hours I was suffering from the most severe headache and pressure pain behind my eyes, my eyes also became sensitive to the sunlight. I had intense muscular pain in my upper chest and shoulder muscles, which I still have six weeks later. I endured high fever along with chills, my body temperature rose so high that my skin actually burned red. After about 5 days the head ache and eye pain subsided next came intense prickly skin with mild rash on my body. My platelet count dropped an average of 20000 per day; along with drinking huge amounts of water and eating only citrus fruit and taking 2 Tylenol every 4 hours and the sap of crushed papaya leaf did my condition improve.
Comment from: Avos1993, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: October 28
I had Dengue fever three times in 2012. All three times were while I was living in Singapore. The first time I had it was in March of 2012 and I wasn't properly diagnosed until after it was over. I thought it was horrible then but I had no idea. In October of 2012 I got it again. I went to school on a Monday morning and began to feel feverish. I went to the nurse and found I had a 103 fever. The next 5 days were pure hell. I lost my appetite, couldn't walk, talk, eat or even drink water. The pain behind my eyes and the pain in my joints were excruciating to say the least. In the first three days my fever got up to 105.3 but on the 6th day my fever went away and I felt much better, so the next day I went to school. It was a big mistake! About 3 periods into the day, my face felt like I had a raging sunburn and before long my skin starting peeling off. That night the rash started and I was so dehydrated I went to the hospital. My blood platelet level had dropped from about 140,000 on the first day to just over 32,000 (in Singapore they give blood transfusions at about 25,000). The pain was so bad I passed out many times. Two days later, the rash started going down and I started getting better. The third time I had it was in late November. I was much like the second time but about 5 times worse. I definitely thought I was a goner. Dengue is terrible, that is all.

The molecular guidance cue ephrin-B1 has traditionally been associated with the early development of the visual system, encompassing retinocollicular mapping as well as development and maturation of synapses. Although little is known about its role in the visual system during the postnatal period and in adulthood, recent studies have demonstrated the expression of ephrin-B1 in the adult mouse brain, indicating a sustained role beyond early development. Therefore, we explored the spatiotemporal expression of ephrin-B1 in the postnatal and adult nonhuman primate visual system and demonstrated that a modulated expression continued following birth into adulthood in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and primary visual cortex (V1, striate cortex). This occurred in the layers involved in bidirectional geniculostriate communication: layers 3Bβ, 4, and 6 of V1 and the parvocellular (P) and magnocellular (M) layers of the LGN. Furthermore, discrete gradients between the ipsi- and contralateral inputs of the P and M layers of the LGN evolved between 1 month following birth and the start of the critical period (3 months), and continued into adulthood. We also detected the postsynaptic expression of ephrin-B1 by excitatory cells in adult LGN and V1 and a subset of interneurons in adult V1, suggestive of a more global rather than subtype-specific role. Together these results suggest a possible role for ephrin-B1 in the maturation of the primate retinogeniculostriate pathway throughout postnatal life, extending into adulthood. J. Comp.

nice receptionists
The warm hospitality.
Fantastic location (ask for a mountain view room - extra 5 €). Brand new hotel,very large terrace, fantastic spa.
The food.
location is excellent, hotel staff was friendly yet professional willing to help
hairdryer in our room didnt work, the bar closes at 2300 which was too early for us as we fancied couple beers after returning from our day trïps... the price was also quite steep, I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone if it was cheaper
old furniture.thay didn't clean every day
Everything - rooms, staff, place..
There is nothing i did not like
Large room, pleasant staff, pizzeria in the building, fair price
Location is at the entrance of the city, we were during off season for skiing so the bus is not circulating, need 10-15min to the center.
Excellent location with room with mountain view and easy access to the centre. Breakfast and dinner very good
Quiet little village. Good market and restaurants throughout - recommend the Pri Martinu restaurant and the Venison or chicken Martin dishes - great!!!. 2 casinos if you want. Did not do the biking or skiing (it was Sept) but alot of people were biking and they enjoyed it alot. Great place!!!
Nice large appartments, good view, very nice owner. Beautiful new building in beautiful ski village.
The suite we occupied was very roomy and equipped with modern appliances. It made for an enjoyable stay and we awoke the next day relaxed and refreshed. The hotel staff were very helpful.
The hotel is very modern but has an austere/clinical feel about it. It lacks charm as there are little or no soft furnishes around the hotel; there's lots of hard tiled surfaces with no carpeting, paintings or homely touches. Everywhere is clean and tidy and we couldn't really fault what was on offer other than the strange ambience of the hotel.
Clean room,big apartment,
Rood staff,not helpful at all!
the breakfast was very satisfactory,the room nice and clean and the view magnificent.
the abcense of lift is problematic to elderly and handicaped guests and the reception should be served better in the afternoons.
Great hotel with nice restaurant downstairs. Beautifully situated.
Good service, parking, casino
Decoration style
I received excellent service and help from Robert in the Reception. A wonderful breakfast too.
In the room in the roof, room 103, it was very warm at night and I did not know of how to turn the heat down or an easy way to open the window. Otherwise, all was fine.
Excellent staff- really friendly and professional throughout our stay. Really nice and varied selection of food, with nice local wines, good leisure facilities
the rooms (attic rooms) were on the small side for 2 people, though reasonable value.
Price, location.
Outdated design, weak service (internet was not available on arrival and was not repaired even upon the third complaining, room TV's cannot be watched from bed, no iron, laundry in the neighbouring hotel), breakfast tastes of once COMECON trade union hostels.
I found the hotel staff very friendly and helpful and the food excellent too.I really enjoyed my week at the hotel.
Not important factors but I would have liked a comfortable chair from which I could have watched the television. As I needed to do alot on my computer during the week, an extra light over the desk would have been helpful. I should have asked for that. Very enjoyable week and I will recommend to my family and friends.
With some exceptions, I didn't think the food was of a particularly high standard. We tried both the breakfast and dinner buffets. The adjacent restaurant under the same management did a good value lunch though.
it is very near to the ski centre
The swiming pool and sauna does not work afther 20:00 h
Perfect location in the very center of the village. Very friendly personnel.
The hotel restarurant was nice but very expensive compared to other ones in the neighbourhood.
Great service...Personal attention...Excellent!
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the full breakfast was excellent.
The staff were excellent, the room lovely and the food very good.

Given: A sine voltage is applied across a circuit at 30 V (peak). There are four resistors across the circuit in series and they have the following givens
R1: 16 Volts (Peak to peak) | 1000 ohms
R2: 5 Volts (RMS)
R3: ? Nothing given
R4: 560 ohms
Find: RMS voltage of R3
First I converted all the voltages to RMS including the source. Then I am trying to find the RMS voltage of 4, but I can't figure out how to find the voltage of 4 at all because we do not know 3, hence we can't find Rtotal. I know what the answer is (it's in the back of the book, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Ans = 7.38 V)
any hints / suggestions?

Mayonnaise Baked Fish
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 13 mins
Really simple recipe that even pleases the non fish lovers among us! My favorite fish to use is tilapia, but any mild, white fish will work nicely.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 fish fillets, about 1 pound
- 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄3 cup onion, finely diced
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese or 1⁄4 cup romano cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place fish, in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, butter, onion, cheese, lemon juice, Old Bay, and pepper. Mix until a thick paste is formed.
- Spread mixture evenly over fish filets, then top with bread crumbs.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until fish is flaky.
- To finish cooking, place fish under the broiler, for another 2-3 minutes, or until fish is golden brown.
Most Helpful
Baked perfectly, fish was moist with delicious topping. I had a 1.25 lb half of Walleye, my favorite fish. I baked it for 15 minutes and broiled it for 3 minutes from the lowest position in the oven. Not having Old Bay and liking suggestions of other reviewers, I added a bit of steak seasoning and garlic powder, used Panko crumbs and basted the topping with butter. It is easy to prepare... no dipping in flour, egg, and crumbs, no frying, and the result is delicious. As my piece of fish was 17"-18" long, I used my stove top double burner grill, greased. The fish did not stick making clean-up easy. Being easy and delicious, this is an excellent dish to serve company.
This was sooooo delicious, It tasted like it came from a restaurant. The only thing i change was i used 1/4tsp onion powder in replace of the onions because my boyfriend doesn't like them. I also put a little more old bay in because im from Maryland and thats how we do it lol. But it was AWESOME!
So good! I poured a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and bag of frozen pre-cooked rice into a dish, then put frozen tilapia filets on top. Followed the recipe as written and doubled the cooking time. Super easy and delicious - we'll be coming back to this recipe often.

-Happy 28th birthday to current Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. The first overall pick of the 2003 draft, Fleury has spent part of the past eight seasons with the Penguins. As a rookie in 2003-04, Fleury appeared in 21 games, went 4-14-2 with a 3.64 goals against average, .896 save percentage and one shutout. Following the 2004-05 lockout, Fleury became the team's full-time starter midway through 2005-06. That season, he saw action in 50 games, compiled a 13-27-6 record with a 3.25 goals against average, .898 save percentage and one shutout. Arguably his best regular season was 2006-07. With a 40-16-9 record, he set career highs in wins, games (67) and shutouts (5) while sporting a 2.83 goals against average and .906 save percentage. Helping lead the franchise to its first postseason appearance in five seasons, Fleury (right) went 1-4 with a 3.76 goals against average and .880 save percentage. Injuries limited "Flower" to 35 games in 2007-08. He went 19-10-2 with a 2.33 goals against average, .921 save percentage and four shutouts. In that spring's postseason, Fleury saw action in 20 games, went 14-6, had a 1.97 goals against average, .933 save percentage, three shutouts and helped the franchise return to its first Stanley Cup final in 16 years. In 2008-08, Fleury rebounded by playing in 62 games, and compiling a 35-28-7 record with 2.67 goals against average, .912 save percentage and four shutouts. In that spring's playoffs, Fleury saw action 24 games, went 16-8 with a 2.61 goals against average, a .908 save percentage and led the franchise towards its third Stanley Cup title. Fleury followed that up by playing in 67 games in 2009-10. He had a record of 37-21-6 with a 2.65 goals against average, .905 save percentage and one shutout. The 2010 postseason saw Fleury play in 13 games and go 7-6 with a 2.78 goals against average, .891 save percentage and one shutout. Despite a slow start in 2010-11, Fleury appeared in 65 games, 36-20-5 with a 2.32 goals against average, .918 save percentage and recorded three shutouts while becoming the second goaltender in franchise history to be selected for an all-star game (Michel Dion in 1982 was the first). He appeared in seven postseason games that spring and went 3-4 with a 2.52 goals against average, .899 save percentage and one shutout. Last season, Fleury appeared in 67 games while compiling a 42-17-4 record with a 2.36 goals against average, a .913 save percentage and three shutouts. This past postseason, Fleury played in six games, had a 2-4 record with a 4.63 goals against average and .834 save percentage. In 434 career regular season games with the Penguins, Fleury is 226-143-31 with a 2.68 goals against average, .909 save percentage and 22 shutouts. He is tied with Tom Barrasso for most win and shutouts in franchise history. In 69 postseason games, Fleury is 43-32 with a 2.68 goals against average, .904 save percentage and five shutouts. His postseason numbers in games, wins and shutouts are the second-best in franchise history, trailing only Barrasso.

-Happy 39th birthday to former Penguins forward Brian Bonin. A ninth-round pick in 1992, Bonin's Penguins' career amounted to five games and no points in 1998-99. In the 1999 offseason, he joined the Canucks as a free agent. Bonin (1995) is one of four former Hobey Baker Award winners to play for the Penguins. Kip Miller (1990), Brian Holzinger (1995) and Jordan Leopold (2002) are the others.

Sporotrichosis Overview
Sporotrichosis is an infection of the skin caused by a fungus, Sporothrix schenckii. This fungus is related more closely to the mold on stale bread or the yeast used to brew beer than to bacteria that usually cause infections. The mold is found on rose thorns, hay, sphagnum moss, twigs, and soil. The infection is more common among gardeners, nursery workers, and farmers who work with roses, moss, hay, and soil.
Once the mold spores move into the skin, the disease takes days or even months to develop.
Causes of Sporotrichosis
Sporotrichosis usually begins when mold spores are forced under the skin by a rose thorn or sharp stick, although the infection can begin in apparently unbroken skin after contact with hay or moss carrying the mold.
More rarely, cats or armadillos can transmit the disease.
In rare cases, the fungus can be inhaled or ingested, causing infection in parts of the body other than the skin.
Sporotrichosis does not appear to be transmitted from person to person.
Symptoms of Sporotrichosis
The first symptom of sporotrichosis is a firm bump (nodule) on the skin that can range in color from pink to nearly purple. The nodule is usually painless or only mildly tender. Over time, the nodule may develop an open sore (ulcer) that may drain clear fluid. Untreated, the nodule and the ulcer become chronic and may remain unchanged for years.
In about 60% of cases, the mold spreads along the lymph nodes. Over time, new nodules and ulcers spread in a line up the infected arm or leg. These can also last for years.
In very rare cases, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones, joints, lungs, and brain. This is more common among those with a weakened immune system. It can be difficult to treat and may be life threatening.

Here are the particulars:
1) I want to bring the post information (title of post, content, author, etc) from one WP installation into another.
2) The installations are on the same domain.
3) I don't want to use anything else from the other WP installation. Meaning, I want to manage themes, links and everything else from where I am bringing the data INTO.
4) I will set it up so that both installations are in one database but with different table prefixes.
I THINK what I have to do is change some values in the funtions_post.php file so that, for all the post data, it is getting its data from the other table.
Do I have that right? Is that ALL I have to do? AND, what are all the references I'd have to change - assuming I got this right?

Texas Rangers: Fool's Gold or Gritty Perseverance?
While I was gone the Texas Rangers, well, um, let's face it ... they crumbled.
Starters not making it past the fifth inning. Bullpen overworked. Bottom third of the order about as effective as BP's oil spill plans G, H and I. Four consecutive losses. Division lead kaput. Not good.
I keep applauding the Rangers for surviving the early-season storm of injuries (Ian Kinsler, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, etc.), flameouts (Chris Davis) and uncertainty (at this point U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Lynn will rule sometime this month to either hand the team over to Chuck Greenberg or re-boot the entire process and open the sale to bidders.)
But in reality, have they showed guts in withstanding misforturne, or have they merely attempted to duct tape holes in a ship that will eventually, inevitably sink?

At 26-24 the Rangers are only one game out of first place in the mediocre coagulation known as the American League West. But it's a stretch to call them a good team.
They are 19-6 against losing teams; only 7-18 against winners. And consider, at two games above .500 they'd be well behind in every other division:
AL Central - 4.5
AL East - 7
NL West - 4
NL Central - 3
NL East - 3.5
Until - and if - Greenberg and his infusion of cash arrives, just not sure how the Rangers are supposed to improve. With Nelson Cruz on the disabled list and Julio Borbon apparently not ready for Major League pitching, the Rangers' commendable early-season survival might be about to crash into an early-summer disaster.

[1]Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA
[2]Center for Metamaterials and Integrated Plasmonics, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC, USA
Linear wave propagation through inhomogeneous structures of size R?? (Fig.1) is a computationally challenging problem, in particular when using finite element methods, due to the steep increase of the number of degrees of freedom as a function of R/?. Fortunately, when the geometry of the problem possesses symmetries, one may choose an appropriate basis in which the stiffness matrix of the ...

[1]Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Surface Plasmon Polaritions (SPPs), as electromagnetic waves localized at the surface of a metal, enjoy the unique properties to confine energy into sub-wavelength scale, which is beneficial for future photonic integration. However, the severe absorption caused by the metal influences the propagation distance greatly. Actually, SPPs loss can be compensated by optical parametric amplification in ...

Modelling Ultra-short Pulse Laser Ablation of Dielectric Materials Using multiple Rate Equations - new
P. Boerner[1], K. Wegener[1]
[1]Institute of Machine Tools and Manufacturing, ETH Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Ultrafast lasers are widely applied in micromachining, material science and physics. In industry, picosecond lasers are becoming more and more established. For pulse lengths shorter than the electron-phonon coupling time, heat affected zones are negligible. Thermally sensitive materials can be processed using ultrashort pulse laser radiation. Multi-component materials and poorly absorbing ...

Yellen Says Fed to Uphold Public Interest in Volcker Compliance
Janet Yellen, the nominee for Federal Reserve chairman, said the Fed would take into account the public interest in any delay of the conformance period for the Volcker rule, which bans proprietary trading at banks.
"As it considers the merits of adopting a final rule, the board will also consider the public interest in granting an extension of the conformance period," Yellen said in a Nov. 18 response to questions from Senator Michael Crapo of Idaho, the senior Republican on the Senate Banking Committee.
"We are striving to consider this rule before year-end in order to provide clarity and certainty to the affected members of the industry and to the public more broadly," said Yellen, the Fed's vice chairman.
Regulators at the Fed, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. are working to complete work on the Volcker rule, named for former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. The rule is one of the most controversial pieces of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act and one of the final unfinished provisions of its overhaul of financial regulation.
The measure is aimed at preventing banks that hold federally insured customer deposits from engaging in the kind of speculative trading with their own capital that could threaten their stability. Standard & Poor's has estimated that the rule could sap combined profits at the eight largest U.S. banks by $2 billion to $10 billion a year, depending on its final language.
Banks have until July 21, 2014, to implement the Volcker rule, even though regulators are behind schedule. Industry representatives have been assured by regulators that that deadline will probably be extended, according to three people involved in the discussions.
A first draft of the rule was released in October 2011. While regulators must agree on the wording of the measure, the Fed has the authority to delay the date of compliance.
Yellen said the Fed can grant three extensions, each lasting no more than one year, beyond the current conformance date.
